The flames of the fire pit are crackling and the food is fragrant. Crazy sand
The iron ball took out a lot of iron balls from the book box and threw them into the pot, and then took out the salt blocks and threw them in very richly. The scholar was stunned when he saw the gradually melting salt blocks. He never expected that he would receive a big customer tonight! rich!
"Ahem..."
The girl opposite frowned and coughed, looking pitiful and heart-wrenching.
A pot of random stew is cooked quickly, and the steaming aroma is overflowing. When we eat together, everyone takes a bowl to eat. Tieqiu takes two bites and puts down his bowl and chopsticks to squat and play with the charcoal fire. The scholar eats very reservedly, because he is forced by life to have nothing else. Scholars are so polite and fastidious, but at this moment, they are not consciously particular about it.
After getting along for a long time, I can clearly feel the girl's indifference and alienation, which makes the scholar a little disappointed.
Who doesn’t have beautiful women? It’s true what he said about gentlemen being attracted to pretty ladies. Not only gentlemen, but also men will have a special liking for beautiful ladies. Especially sick beauties are more likely to feel pity and love for them.
I ate the meal in silence.
The scholar feels that he should say something, even if he makes some nonsense.
"Xiang Zhi, please tell me what I call the girl."
After hearing the scholar's words, Tie Qiu raised his head and spoke with contempt and pride, quite arrogantly.
"This is my boss, and you have to call me boss, but I won't admit that you are my younger brother. Who makes you young." After saying that, he shook his head.
The scholar found it very interesting that the little boy actually dared to claim to be old, but he was only eleven or twelve years old. He was twenty years old, so he was young and could talk nonsense like a child.
But...it seems that this child is not hers, no wonder she has her hair not tied up, and is secretly happy for no reason.
Bai Yu smiled.
"My surname is Bai, thank you for letting me stay here."
After saying that, he stood up against the wall without waiting for a reply. The movement was slow and uncomfortable. Tie Qiu quickly stepped forward to help the scholar who wanted to get closer. He coughed uncomfortably and entered the west room. Xiang Zhi's family only had a piece of wood and two cabinets on the four walls, which was relatively clean. Journey There is no need to worry too much about staying overnight.
He took out pillows and blankets from the bookcase and laid them out. Bai Yu slowly lay down, covering his mouth and coughing from time to time.
Tie Qiu didn't like to sleep or cover himself with quilts. He yawned and curled up into a ball on his side and fell asleep...
The scholar who was alone in the outer room felt a little deserted. He heard the occasional coughing and the snoring of the little boy next door. Seeing that no one was watching, he quickly picked up the iron pot and drank the soup. It was so salty! It tastes so good! It all tastes like salt! At this moment, the scholar seemed to be spinning and running with arms outstretched in the sea of flowers. When he closed his eyes, he was filled with the smell of salt!
"Huh~"
It's so comfortable and salty, this meal is worth the salt I've eaten for the first half of the year.
Next door, Bai Yu, who was lying on his side to rest, felt amused that Iron Ball's behavior of showing off his wealth actually satisfied a scholar who didn't eat much salt. His last name seemed a bit familiar...
The rain stopped during the night.
The blue silent night sky and the croaking frogs made it impossible to sleep.
The iron ball was lying on the ground, turning over and scratching his belly, making a rustling sound. Only sleeping on the ground would make him feel at ease. The bubbles in his nose were getting bigger and smaller. The local dogs in the village were barking when they saw wild animals. There were cats screaming and fighting on the roof, and crickets were getting in. The shouting in the house was extremely noisy.
In the east room, scholar Xiang Zhi has fallen asleep...
I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so I simply stared out the window at the stars in a daze. I giggled when I thought about a stunning beauty sleeping in the west room. I also thought about how I would perform to attract the beauty's attention tomorrow morning. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
A night without words...
early morning.
The distant mountains are clear and the morning fog is heavy, and the house is filled with fragrance.
Tie Qiu boldly threw salt cubes into the pot again. Xiang Zhi was very happy even though he had dark circles under his eyes and forgot about last night's plan to win the beauty's smile. Salt is good, even though he couldn't sleep last night and drank salty cold water all night.
Big chunks of salt, Iron Ball originally planned to throw some ants into the pot to let everyone taste the ants.
Fortunately, Bai Yu blocked this behavior that left Jiao speechless.
Still eating very quietly, Xiang Zhi couldn't find a chance to chat. Unknowingly, he thought of the words "frozen beauty" written in the book, and secretly sighed that the ancients were honest and did not deceive me. Forget it, so much salt is already enough. It’s a good deal, don’t force it if it’s not yours.
"Ahem...Thank you for staying overnight. Please accept it."
After eating, Bai Yu took out a tael of silver and handed it to Xiang Zhi.
silver! It’s actually silver! Xiang Zhi struggled to swallow the last mouthful of salt water soup under Iron Ball's contemptuous gaze. He likes money and doesn't like to be that aloof hypocrite who is known as a breeze with two sleeves. But he also wants to leave a good impression on the beauty, so he reluctantly accepts the equivalent of two dollars. Opportunity for three months' income declined.
"Miss Bai is out. You won't have to lose anything if you stay here for one night. I also ate a lot of you, so just forget about the money."
After I finished speaking, I felt pain, the kind that hurts to the bone marrow...
Bai Yu smiled, and Xiang Zhi was heartbroken when he saw it.
"It's a rule to pay for accommodation. Since you don't want it, I'll give you an umbrella. It's worth one tael of silver. It's considered the cost of a one-night stay. The umbrella is really good."
Involuntarily, he handed the oil-paper umbrella to Xiang Zhi, and Xiang Zhi took it happily.
"Let's just say goodbye."
In an instant, Xiang Zhi, who had happily given the umbrella just now, felt a sense of loss and felt very uncomfortable...
Two figures, one big and one small, left the village step by step. Xiang Zhi stood at the door of his courtyard and watched the figures turn away, holding an oil-paper umbrella tightly in his hand. The villagers passing by kindly teased the scholar if he had a crush on the girl, and asked Luo if he knew. Each household would ask the village matchmaker to help propose a marriage.
Open the oil paper umbrella, it is painted with flowers, and the fan handle has a faint fragrance.
Wild mountain road.
"Boss, why don't humans eat ants? Ants are so delicious."
"Maybe they don't know how delicious ants are. They're so small that they won't eat them until they have a plateful of them."
"That's it..."
What Bai Yu didn't know was that the umbrella he gave away would play an unexpected role many years later, thus changing some stories and inadvertently doing something good or bad.
Many years later, somewhere in the wilderness.
The sky was rumbling with thunder and lightning, and black clouds were rolling in. Xiang Zhi, who was going to the city to take the exam, couldn't bear to hold up an umbrella and hurried to an abandoned temple. The temple was overgrown with weeds and looked a little gloomy as it got dark.
He looked up at the tattered plaque.
"Lanruo Temple?"
I looked at the exquisite oil-paper umbrella in my arms and then looked at the ruined temple. It was so windy and rainy that the paper umbrella couldn't stop the rain. I simply went to the ruined temple and waited for the rain to stop. I pushed the door with my bookcase on my back and used a wooden stick to sweep away the dense spider webs and came to the temple.
The lightning illuminated the half-broken Buddha statue, and Xiang Zhi was so frightened that he quickly put his hands together to say hello.
"I'm sorry... Xiaosheng came to take shelter from the rain and disturbed the peace. I'll leave as soon as it stops raining tomorrow~"
"Hehe~"
"Who! Who is it?"
"Sir, please don't get me wrong. I was kicked out of the house by a member of the military and am now living here~"
When Xiang Zhi saw a bewitching beauty, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was wearing such revealing clothing in the barren mountains and wild mountains and it could be some kind of mountain spirit? There are many stories about ruined temples, so it’s better to leave in the rain!
"Since this is the case, I will give this place to the girl. I will not let men and women interact with each other. I will find a place to take shelter from the rain."
Xiang Zhi immediately ran out of the ruined temple, and the charming woman chased after him with a smile and a light smile!
It was raining outside, so Xiang Zhi opened his oil-paper umbrella.
When I ran out, I seemed to hear a slight scream behind me. It was very strange. When I looked back, I was so scared that I was scared to death. How could there be any charming and charming woman! The ruined temple is empty!
He walked down the mountain in the rain as if he was running away.
A few days later, a scholar named Ning Caichen spent a peaceful night in the ruined temple and continued on the road to take the exam...
