All good plays require preliminary preparation, whether it is Zhao Huajun's or Shao Xi's. In short, the preparation for this scene took ten days.
Early that morning, Shao Xi was preparing to leave Shafang and take a boat to Yujiang City. The day before, he had made an appointment with Lao Wu to go to Bailu Temple in the east of the city, so he planned to leave early today.
Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Sha Nu.
"Miss Master called me to stop, but what's the matter?"
Shaonv's face turned red when Shao Xi called her, and she said with a hint of embarrassment: "Master is master, and girls are girls. What do you mean, master girl? How can you call me that? I've worked so hard to teach you these days. You actually made fun of me so early in the morning."
Shao Xi chuckled and said: "You are both my master and a girl! If I just call you master, wouldn't it make you look very old? Calling you a girl is different. It not only makes you appear to be of higher seniority, but also doesn't make you look older. Called old.”
"Your physical skills haven't improved much after more than ten days, but your mouth is still so slick. Are you like this to every girl?"
"How could I be so glib? I'm telling the truth. If a beautiful girl like you were called master, someone who didn't know better would have thought you were an old woman. What's wrong with me?"
Seeing that Shao Xi could not be persuaded, Sha Nu was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She just opened the package in her hand, took out a pair of boots and handed it to Shao Xi.
"Now that you have achieved some success in Qingping Crossing, if you can properly regulate your vitality, you won't feel too tired after crossing the river and running for a day and night, not to mention the Yujiang River. It's just that. To be able to travel a thousand miles a day and beat a good horse, you still need some time to practice hard, but with your talent, you will definitely achieve something within half a year. By then, you will be able to have the wind under your feet and run even if there is no horse. It’s a thousand miles, but running like this will cost you a lot of shoes.”
Shao Xi reached out and took the boots, which were as light as nothing in his hands.
I don’t know what kind of material the boot upper is made of. It is light and smooth, and you can vaguely see water lines, like black gauze soaked in water.
Looking at the soles of the boots, Shao Xi was surprised. Why did they look like rubber in the modern world? But when you touch it, it feels soft and pliable. You really can't tell what kind of material it is made of.
Seeing Shao Xi turning the boots over and over in his hands to admire them, Shaonv couldn't help but smile and asked, "What do you think? Do you still like them?"
Shao Xi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I like it! These boots will definitely feel like they are not worn on the feet. They will be lighter when jumping and running. They are really a good pair of boots, but I can't tell what material they are made of."
"This is a craft passed down to me by my father. The upper material of the boots is called black whale swimming yarn, and the soles of the boots are woven with yellow shark tendon that is only produced in Qizhou. These boots are not only light and breathable, but more importantly The material is soft and tough, and is invulnerable to water and fire. Even if you wear it on the road every day for decades, there will be no damage. It took me three years to weave just this little yarn on the top of the boots. All of it is used for I’ve made boots for you, and the material for the soles is only enough to make this pair. I hesitated for a long time before and was reluctant to make them for myself, so now I’ve made them for you! It’s a gift from Master.”
Shao Xi sat on the steps impatiently, took off the boots he was wearing, and put on the pair given by Shaonv.
After getting up, I walked around on the ground, feeling the lightness brought by these boots.
"Master, girl, do these boots have a name? I think top-grade boots have names."
It seemed that the good girl had not considered this before, so when Shao Xi asked what the name of the boots was, she couldn't answer for a while.
So he said casually: "I never thought of giving it a name before, but to commemorate the fact that it took me three years to weave such a small amount of yarn, these boots will be called Black Whale Swimming Boots, right?"
"Black Whale Swimming Boots! This name sounds nice, I like it, thank you so much, Master!"
Immediately afterwards, Sha Nu took out a small object with tassels from the pocket at her waist and quickly stuffed it into Shao Xi's hand.
I saw that it was a huge pearl passed through by a leather rope, and a long black tassel hung underneath the pearl. The material of the tassel was a bit strange, soft, slippery, and very elastic.
"What kind of bead is this? It's so big! Why does the strand hanging below look like a horse's tail? What material is it made of? What is the purpose of giving me this thing?"
As soon as Shaonv heard that Shao Xi said that the tassel was like a horse's tail, her face flushed and she was obviously unhappy.
"Why do you still sound so ugly when you speak? What do you mean by looking like a horse's tail? Have you ever seen such a beautiful and supple horse's tail? You really have good intentions and are being treated like a donkey!"
"Uh! Did I say something wrong again?"
Sha Nu sighed helplessly, shook her head, and said to Shao Xi: "This pearl is our famous mussel pearl in Yujiang. Such a large one is extremely rare. This is the last time a merchant temporarily ordered a green mist purple pearl." Yun Sha, I didn't have enough money on hand, so I used this bead to pay off the money for the yarn. As for the tassel below, it's not a pony tail, it's my hair."
"Ah! Your... hair...?"
At this time, Sha Nu's face was already red to the root of her neck, and she didn't know how to explain to Shao Xi why she cut off her hair to make tassels.
Everyone knows that the hair of both men and women is a very precious thing on the body. As the saying goes, the hair and skin of the body are inherited from the parents.
He was willing to cut off his own hair and make it into a tassel as a gift to a man. His intention is self-evident. Shao Xi was deeply surprised by Shaonv's move. He usually calls her master and girl! But he didn't expect that Sha Nu had already fallen in love with him.
"That..., that that..."
Shao Xi, who is usually sharp-tongued and smooth-tongued, felt like his tongue was knotted at this moment. I wonder if the CPU has overheated and crashed? Or is the keyboard damaged and unable to type normally? Anyway, the mouth is "clicking" like an over-used mechanical hard drive, but the content cannot be read. It seems that a forced restart is in urgent need.
To be honest, Shao Xi has never had any other thoughts about Sha Nu. In his heart, he has always regarded the girl in front of him as the master who taught him body skills. At most, he can be regarded as a new good friend, and he has never thought of anything wrong.
Shao Xi's feelings when facing Shaonv are different from those when facing Mei Ruyan.
For Mei Ruoyan, Shao Xi can always find some shadows of her past in her body, and he will unconsciously feel admiration in his heart.
Maybe it's because these days I've been busy thinking about how to trick others, or because Shaonv's temperament is gentle and low-key, and has never attracted Shao Xi's attention, or maybe she just wants to learn "" "Qingpingdu", Shao Xi didn't focus on the relationship between men and women at all, so he ignored the feelings of the girl these days.
"me……"
"What are you doing? I have never asked you to do anything. I told you that I will never get married in this life. I will only keep the yarn shop my father left me and spin and weave all my life. Bu won't have any other thoughts, so don't think too much."
As Shaonv spoke, she took out the folding fan from Shao Xi's waist and tied the pearl made of tassels from her own hair to the big bone of Shao Xi's fan.
"Look! Isn't it beautiful? I made this myself. Hang it on your folding fan from now on! It's just a thought."
Sometimes, what some people pursue for feelings is not a result, but just a thought. As long as I have known this person, taken care of this person, and missed this person in this life, it is enough.
Things in the world have been difficult to control since ancient times.
Many people pursue only one result throughout their lives, while some people prefer to remember the best memory ever.
Shaonv's feelings for Shao Xi were calm, indifferent, gentle, calm, and without any sense of oppression. Shao Xi is not required to pay anything, as long as he knows, it is enough. Even if we are far apart in the years to come, we will always know that there is someone who is missing him silently, without any need for response or repayment.
Shao Xi really didn't know what to say to the girl standing in front of him at this time, or he didn't need to say anything.
After holding it in for a long time, Shao Xi finally said, "Thank you, I will keep it well."
"You don't need to say thank you. Just keep it well. Go quickly! Business is important."
"Um!"
Just as he turned around to leave, Shao Xi seemed to remember something again.
He took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Shaonv's hand just like she had given the pearl to herself before. Without waiting for Shaonv to ask what it was, she turned around and ran out of the yard.
For a person to whom he could not promise any future, Shao Xi did not want Shao Nu to have any misunderstandings about him. But to be fair, a girl like Sha Nu was indeed rare in his life.
However, as a time traveler, Shao Xi deeply believes in monogamy and has never thought about having three wives and four concubines, so he cannot make any promises to his girlfriend, and he cannot be sorry to Mei Ruoyan.
Now that we know each other in the mountains and rivers, let’s forget about each other in the rivers and lakes from now on!
Seeing Shao Xi running out of the hospital in a panic and leaving, Shaonv acted very calmly and just smiled indifferently.
She knew that people like Shao Xi would not have any consequences with her. The appearance of this person was just a pebble thrown into the lake of her heart, causing a ripple, and she would eventually regain her peace.
Whether it's her heart or her life.
Opening the small cloth bag in her hand, Sha Nu was surprised to see a crystal clear glass bead with flowing clouds. It was so beautiful that she felt dazzled for a moment.
Gently hold the glass bead in her hand with two fingers, hold it up to the sun and look at it. It is full of light and colorful. She has never seen anything so beautiful, more beautiful than any piece of yarn she has ever woven and dyed. beautiful.
Gently put the Yunxia glazed bead back into the cloth bag and wrap it up, hold it firmly in the palm of your hand, and unconsciously look outside the courtyard door again with your eyes.
"Thank you, Shao Xi! You left me the most beautiful glass beads and the most beautiful memories. I will collect them well, just like I store our memories together."
A crystal light flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she raised her hand to wipe it away...
