The trees in the yard rustled.
Mu Qingyun sat in the garden eating porridge with her landlord, Mrs. Bai.
The porridge was made by Mu Qingyun. This rice is not the kind commonly seen in the local area, and I don’t know where Mrs. Bai got it from. In terms of quality, it can match the top tribute rice. The grains are plump and have a layer of fluorescence when cooked. Just looking at it makes me appetizing.
In the evening, I don’t eat other dry food. The staple food is porridge. Mu Qingyun cooks it very thickly. It is very filling in the mouth. It is full of carbohydrates and is really satisfying.
The dishes were also fried by Mu Qingyun.
She is currently polishing her body, practicing hard, and eating meat every day. After the first meal she cooked, Mrs. Bai prepared all kinds of ingredients diligently, and agreed that she would be the cook to pay for the food the old man would prepare. fee.
It was rare that he didn't eat too much meat at night, so Mu Qingyun only fried one meat and one vegetable, chicken stewed with mushrooms and sweet and sour lotus root.
Mrs. Bai laughed while eating: "I really haven't eaten chicken in two or three years. How come the chicken you made, Qing, is so tender!"
The chicken tasted plump and juicy, not bad at all. Mrs. Bai even felt that she could eat a whole pot in one meal.
In the past, when her old man was around, she was the one who did the cooking. But later, when the old man was gone, the disciples said they would come to take care of her. If that didn't work, they would hire a nanny, but Mrs. Bai was not used to it.
Although her house is big, she has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. But since she married the old man of her family, the old man prepares her every meal, and the old man also does the matching of her clothes. , no outsiders were allowed into the house.
The old man was gone, so she hired a nanny for two days, but the smell of the food made her feel like something was wrong.
She has been cooking by herself recently. Anyway, making porridge and making noodles is not a problem for her. But other than these, she can even scramble eggs to the point where she can barely eat them.
"Hey, I'm still a novice and will only miss the old man's cooking for the rest of my life, so I worry about her in vain."
"Even after a long time of fussing, as long as the food cooked by others is delicious, she can still praise it like this."
Mu Qingyun smiled and looked back at the cluster of green leaves next to him.
They are quite cold when they bloom. They have leaves, but they are chirping very lively.
Old Mrs. Bai saw Mu Qingyun staring at the golden lanterns with only leaves left on the ground, and chuckled: "At first, my old man planted them, and I thought it was unlucky. After all, they are also known as the flowers of the other side, and they are flowers that bloom on Huangquan Road."
"Later, after the flowers bloomed, I suddenly dreamed about some of my old friends. They had been away for many years, but they had never entered my dreams. Unexpectedly, they did dream about them this time."
"It can be seen that this flower is a good thing. Flowers and trees have spirits. They can send messages to relatives and friends."
"But Qing, you are so young. If you are afraid of them, I will ask a gardener to transplant them to the front yard later."
Mu Qingyun burst into laughter. Visibly to the naked eye, a pile of leaves puffed up with ears, and there was not even a sound to be seen.
She reached out and touched the cute little leaves soothingly, and said with a smile: "Why are you afraid? If the flowers and trees are really spiritual and can allow me to reunite with my old friends, that would be great."
A group of flowers on the other side: "..."
"Human beings are really strange. Some people believe that we can extradite the dead back to the human world. Some people believe that we can bring the living to hell."
"If we really had such ability and ability, we would no longer dare to exist in the human world."
Amidst the muttering, there was another noise. Mu Qingyun followed the sound and looked over, and saw that the honest and steady Everlasting Pine was weakly swinging its branches, as if it was very depressed.
"Hey, does our tree have no tree rights? Why can't I just die cleanly?"
"They pour inexplicable things into me every day, and it makes me miserable. If I continue to save him like this, I won't be able to make a bed for Xiaobai's grandson even after I die. The wood is not as valuable as other people's wood, but they treat me so badly, hum. !”
Mu Qingyun turned his head and looked up at the immortal pine outside the door through the moonlight.
The tree was over sixty years old and still had lush branches and leaves, but there seemed to be a smell of decay inside.
The pine tree is still humming: "Why do you force me to live? We trees are different from people. We are not afraid of death. Death is reincarnation. Once the old tree is gone, it can still survive for thousands of years and stay with you well. Master, and new branches can be reborn on old corpses.”
Mu Qingyun looked at the flowering tree for a long time and frowned, who is saving this eternal pine? Shaking his head, he put aside these distracting thoughts and thought: Is that person coming?
He was talking about the big thief who was getting stronger with age.
Mu Qingyun didn't seem to care on the surface, but in fact he was very wary of this person.
He had never done anything at school. Mu Qingyun was a little worried that she would do something at Grandma Bai's house. He had to communicate with the surrounding flowers and trees every day to check the situation.
But never.
There are many other gains. I helped Grandma Bai find the letter box her husband buried in the soil, caught seven wanted criminals, found the dog that had been missing for half a month for the next door neighbor, and reminded someone who almost went out without the key. Residents in the community must not lock the door, and she also fooled more people into believing that she has supernatural powers and can communicate with all things in the world.
Of course, this is not considered cheating.
Anyway, she had nothing to do, and the money she earned by fooling people was enough to pay for her tuition and meet her daily expenses.
Grandma Bai didn't say anything, but always sighed in private. She felt that it was outrageous that her father had forgotten all about her tuition fees, and she was worried that she would suffer in the future.
She grew up in a happy family, and it was unimaginable that someone could leave their parents and live alone when they were young.
Fortunately, although Grandma Bai is old, she does not suffer from the habit of nagging. She treats Mu Qingyun like a friend of the same generation, and her conversations are very trendy, but she refuses to step aside.
The moonlight was very beautiful tonight. After dinner, Mu Qingyun started drawing the thief in his notebook. Halfway through the drawing, she suddenly realized what he was doing.
It's a person! !
Today, the person who scraped off Maple Leaf Red’s name from the past at the memorial tower is Maple Leaf Red Zhang Jingsong himself.
With the passage of time, today's old man's bones and flesh have been torn apart, his face has aged, his stature is stooped, and his cheeks are sunken. He no longer has the grace that could attract the admiration of young men from rich families. However, no matter how old a person is, there are always things that remain unchanged. If you look carefully, you can still recognize it after all.
Mu Qingyun let out a small breath. Zhang Jingsong has been dead for sixty years. I heard that he was posthumously awarded the Golden Spike and Sky Blue Medal, his name was listed in the memorial tower, and he will be worshiped by the world forever. Now he suddenly discovered that he is still alive and kicking, almost a hundred years old. The old man, who is 20 years old, can still climb trees and walls, which scares her, a young expert, from making any moves.
What is Zhang Jingsong looking for her for?
On the second day, Mu Qingyun got up and got ready to go to school. When she went out, she found that her schoolbag had returned to Zhao and was placed next to the big tree outside the door.
In addition to the school bag, it also comes with a note and the ID cards of Jiang Si and Jiang Guotai.
