Chapter 109: Where the Soul Returns
Hongli was carrying a basket of ingredients, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little dignified.
"You ...... What's wrong?"
As soon as she spoke, Master Yuezhuo stretched and yawned, "I'm a little tired, go into the house first, you can talk." ”
Su Yan couldn't stand up at this time, his limbs were stiff, but after seeing Hongli put down the basket, he retreated outside the house and brought the whole bamboo.
"I'll come. ”
Su Yan hurriedly got up and stepped forward to help.
Did this girl carry this long and heavy bamboo all the way back?
"The boss said that the bamboo would not be cut today, so I carried it back myself. ”
The red glass handle wiped the sweat and moved his shoulders.
Just as Hongli was moving his muscles, Su Yan had already swung a woodcutter and cut the bamboo into several pieces.
Sure enough, Su Yan was still like this, for fear that she would be tired. Unlike his own master, he disappeared as soon as he got to work.
The door of Master Yuezhuo's house was ajar, and his own master had collapsed.
Hongli muttered to herself: When Master Yuezhuo wakes up, there will be bamboo rice to eat, hehe.
The little fox's mind was all taken away by Su Yan, he closed his eyes and chuckled, and his thoughts were calm.
"I'm here to help. Su Yan hid the sorrow in his eyes, and put on a warm appearance like the past, scurrying around beside Hongli.
"Su Yan, give me the gourd scoop. ”
"Give. ”
"Spoon. ”
"Give. ”
"Bamboo. ”
"Give. ”
Hongli tied up the long hair and tied it behind her head, and the elbows with folded sleeves on both sides were quite smooth. With a piece of linen wrapped around her slender waist, she took out the delicate hand that had just been scooped the rice from the scoop and threw it into the clearing.
Drops of water slid down her thin fingertips.
Drops –
Su Yan's heart trembled.
Hongli wiped her soaked hands on the linen cloth around her waist, with the smile of the first time she had entered the world, and her apricot eyes were full of water, "You can eat it in a few more hours." ”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly startled herself again, "Ah, I forgot to chop wood." ”
However, Su Yan had already arranged the firewood in a neat row, and each firewood stick was almost the same shape and size.
Hongli had to marvel, how did this Su Yan do it?
How do you get started with these rough jobs to get started so well? Could it be that he was forced out by the recent hard days?
She had gratitude in her eyes, the kind of gratitude she was so grateful for.
Su Yan also understood what she meant, and chuckled, "You're welcome." ”
Hongli's heart tightened slightly.
Su Yan is always so gentle, his smile is like the warm sun of the morning sun, not dazzling, but warm and shining.
"I'll give you more later. Hongli leaned into Su Yan's ear and whispered.
Also, every time she is more partial to her own master, but now it is different from the past, this is not in Qingqiu. At that time in Qingqiu, she didn't have to suffer so much, so she turned a blind eye to her master's laziness.
It can be said that she has come to the mortal world to go through tribulations, and she feels more and more that her master is by no means a reliable person, just like this small labor job, he is not even willing to help.
Hongli thought that in the past, it was the appearance of her own master coming to reach out for rice and open her mouth, so today I will give Su Yan more bamboo tube rice to see how my master reacts.
The little fox had to give a thumbs up for his wit.
At this moment, her snort was still next to her ears, and the roots of Su Yan's ears were already red. Subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping himself at a distance from her, not knowing that he had become incoherent.
He slurred, "Red ..... Red glass, it doesn't have to be like this. ”
Hongli is a little strange, what's wrong with this Su Yan today, how did he become so polite.
It's as if there's a sense of distance.
The fire behind him was steaming, and there was a burst of bamboo incense, and as soon as Hongli smelled this smell, she immediately shouted to the back room: "Master~Master Yuezhuo~Your favorite bamboo tube rice is ready~"
After a moment's rest, there was no movement in the inner room.
Hongli was suspicious again, strange, on weekdays, his master came running around as soon as he smelled this familiar smell, and no one was as fast as him. Why is this so abnormal today?
Could it be that you are too sleepy?
"Master~ The bamboo tube rice is ready~ Aren't you eating?~ It's not too late to go to sleep after eating~"
The little fox shouted again.
There was still no movement in the house.
In the dark, the man on the collapse pillowed his elbows and leaned towards the wall, the slender finger bones clenched in his palms were already white.
Seeing that her master still didn't react, Hongli sighed lightly and gave up the idea of asking her master to get up. and Su Yan each served rice.
The bamboo tube is fished out of the boiling water in the pot with a gourd scoop, and although the emerald green shell has been soaked and swollen, it can be opened to see that there is a great mystery inside.
Although the rice grains are glued together, they look crystal full in the past. The outer layer of rice is wrapped with a light bamboo film, which is soft and delicious, with the fragrance of bamboo and the soft and glutinous sweetness of the rice itself.
This time, when Hongli also deliberately poured rice, he added broken bud rice grains and cut carrot silk to make the bamboo rice look better.
Seeing the joy of Su Yan's eating, Hongli was happy in her heart.
She scooped a few spoonfuls of water to extinguish the fire, this bamboo rice is very concerned about the heat, if this bamboo keeps being left to cook, the rice inside is sticky and too rotten, and it is not good to eat.
Hongli had no choice but to put the remaining bamboo into the cauldron and cover it with a large wooden lid, so that the master would not wake up and be cold.
"Be careful. ”
Hongli was suddenly startled by Su Yan, but she wrapped it in the linen cloth in front of her, how could she be so stupid to take it directly.
Seeing that she was fine. Su Yan relieved himself and took a long breath.
"Su Yan, what's wrong with you today? ”
The little fox laughed.
In the eyes of the little fox, today's Su Yan is just a little more serious than before, how could she think that he was leaving.
But she didn't know that this was the last time.
"Hongli, this bamboo rice is really delicious. ”
Su Yan looked up at the sky, his eyes couldn't see clearly, and he was thoughtful.
"Yes, this is my specialty, and Master Yuezhuo likes to eat it. "Hongli is like this, as soon as someone praises her, her fox tail will be cocked to the sky.
"You are a demon, how can you cook food in the world?"
Hearing his puzzled question, Hongli began to chatter, "This is going to start from the days in Qingqiu." ”
"I was in Qingqiu at that time, but everyone loved me. Oh no, the little fox demon that the demon loves. Since Master adopted me, I have also shouldered the responsibility of taking care of his diet and daily life, and the more I practice, the better I get~"
"Suddenly, one day, Master brought back a bamboo tube rice from Zizhudi......" Hongli cleared her throat, didn't look at Su Yan, and continued her eloquent conversation.
"Speaking of this purple bamboo flute, it's the first apprentice of Master Yuezhuo. At that time, I accidentally damaged its cultivation and sent it back to my hometown to re-cultivate, but I encountered a few unreasonable old man bamboo spirits in its place, so I fought with them for 300 rounds........."
Hongli said to herself for a long time, and the person next to her was silent, looking at her happy appearance, smiling, and listening quietly.
It wasn't until his body gradually became transparent, revealing today's warmth, that he suddenly became conscious and hurriedly called:
"Red ..... Glass. ”
"What?"
Hongli's words were interrupted, and she looked back at Su Yan, only to realize that something was wrong with him. Hongli's demeanor, which she was still boasting about, changed, and she suddenly felt panicked and at a loss.
It was as if something was about to be lost.
"Su Yan, Su Yan, what's wrong with you, how did your body become transparent......
She tried to touch his hand, but passed through the shadow.
But Su Yan was still smiling, and he finally stopped hiding the desolation in his eyes again and again. Yes, he laughed, laughed desolately.
"Precious. ”
His voice and smile were obviously still lingering in front of his eyes, but why until the end, he only left two words and left silently.
The mist condensed into frost on the black eyelashes, and her eyes gradually dimmed, mottled with desolation that could not be concealed.
I couldn't see the clear figure clearly.
.........
The heart of the person in the distance sank, even though there were twists and turns, thousands of turns, this soul finally returned to Zhao.
