Chapter 192 Spicy noodles, and the letter of parting
The next morning.
Liangdu's city lord's mansion is signed.
There were only two people in the No-Dao consignment house, and the rest were sent out to work.
Chu Zheng sat in front of the table in a daze, looking at a bowl of noodles that was steaming and exuding a pungent and spicy taste. His eyes were so drunk that he couldn't help but regret that Guo Xiang casually answered "I like it" when he asked him if he likes spicy food last night.
He does prefer spicy food, but like the bowl in front of him with red spicy oil floating on it, the spicy noodles that sneeze when he smells the smell is really beyond his taste limit.
After picking up the chopsticks several times and putting them down, Chu Zheng gently touched the girl next to him, showing his most affectionate smile and said, "Little Dongfang, can we discuss something?"
A beautiful little girl wearing a fairy-like white dress and a cool-blown cloak was sitting leaning against him, her delicate long legs stretched straight on the bench, and her feet in gold-blown short boots were swaying slowly, with her expression indescribable relaxation.
She ate the yellow and fragrant sesame cakes in her hands with relish. When she heard Chu Zheng calling her, she had no time to speak with her mouth, so she used her little nose to hum and pretended to be an answer.
If you want someone to help you do something, you have to give some sweetness, so Chu Zheng gave the chips generously: "In this way, you can eat this bowl of spicy noodles for me, and I will give you three fresh delicious sesame cakes I just bought."
Dongfang Bai just glanced at the bowl of noodles-like things, then turned around and ignored him, looking uncontroversial.
Did this guy realize that he is a pet? And I am the owner!
Really, if it weren't for the fact that she had been seriously injured for herself, she would......
Soon Chu Zheng realized sadly that no matter how bad the guy's attitude was, he now had no other choice but to please her and continue to win her recognition, otherwise all his previous investment would be wasted.
"Four pieces, no more."
"Or... five yuan? Forget it, six yuan, six yuan is OK?"
"Hey...what do you want to help?"
Dongfang Bai finally spoke. While biting the fragrant sesame cake, she asked lazily: "This thing... are you sure... can you eat it?"
Chu Zheng laughed dryly: "...it should be possible?"
"Not to mention that the flour is not well-brown at first glance. This thick and thin one is considered noodles? Besides, I don't have to taste it. Just by smell, you know that there is at least half a bottle of spicy noodles and a liang of spicy oil. If you say you can eat it, try it?"
“…”
Chu Zheng still believed in Dongfang Bai's sense of smell, so he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
In fact, he didn't see how Guo Xiang made this bowl of noodles, but when he heard the maid say that Miss Guo got up before dawn and went to the kitchen to work hard for nearly an hour before making this bowl, he knew that this bowl of noodles could not escape. However, he was still very anxious and took the excuse that there was an urgent matter in the city lord's mansion to deal with it, so he brought the bowl of noodles back to the signing room without having to eat it in front of Guo Xiang's noodles.
At this time, facing the spicy noodles in front of you, Chu Zheng sighed again. After all, it was Guo Xiang's intention, so he couldn't throw it away and waste it, so he had to bite the bullet and eat it.
I don’t know if the endless Shenzhao true qi can save my life...
He took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks, and secretly encouraged himself: He had already rushed through the sea of corpses and blood, could he still not deal with this bowl of noodles?
He made up his mind and picked up a chopstick of noodles and stuffed them into his mouth. The extremely spicy taste immediately filled his mouth and tongue. He coughed continuously. He finally swallowed the hard and sticky noodles. He was already in tears. This time he was really crying and was choked by spicy oil.
Dongfang Bai next to him laughed gloatingly: "I just said I can't eat it, but you still insist on eating it, so you can't blame me."
Chu Zheng glared at her, and at this moment, the guard knocked on the door and came in to report: "Shuai Chu, a strange girl outside has sent a letter."
Girl? Li Wenxiu?
Chu Zheng had never seen Li Wenxiu since yesterday, so he subconsciously thought it was Li Wenxiu, but then he thought that Li Wenxiu was an acquaintance here, so how could the guards not know him?
He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took the envelope from the guards, and saw that it said: "Brother Chu personally opened his hand." The handwriting on it was not very good, but for a girl who grew up in a nomadic tribe outside the Great Wall, it was already quite correct - Chu Zheng could recognize it at a glance, which was the handwriting of Li Wenxiu with a very recognizable handwriting.
Thinking of not seeing Li Wenxiu in the past two days, Chu Zheng had a vague premonition in his heart. He opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.
“Brother Chu:
When you receive this letter, I am no longer in Liangdu.
Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. At the same time, please allow me to thank you again for your most sincere thanks. Thank you for your life-saving grace and for your care these days.
Following you, I have learned a lot and changed a lot. If it weren’t for your teaching, it would be difficult for me to get out of my past memories, and I wouldn’t have hope for the future like I am now.
I originally wanted to continue to learn more with you, but you were leaving Liangdu. I thought I should set off to Jiangnan to find the land where my parents once lived. I heard that there are willows, peach blossoms, swallows, goldfish... and heroic teenagers, or, there is my destination.
Xiao Lian, I took her away. When she grows up, I will tell her that she was given to me by a great hero.
By the way, if your senior sister was still misunderstanding about the last incident, please show her this letter.
You are indeed very good, but I don’t like it. In my heart, I just regard you as respected as a brother.
Finally, I wish you and your senior sister a long life together and always unite.
Li Wenxiu”
Chu Zheng stared at the letter paper in his hand in a daze, and his fingers gently whirled on the last line of words, with some blurry water marks.
Is it tears?
Chu Zheng couldn't tell what it felt. He sighed softly and asked, "Where is the sender? If you are still there, let her come in."
"yes."
The guard soon brought in a young girl dressed as a maid. Chu Zheng recognized that this was indeed the one who arranged to go to Li Wenxiu to help take care of Xiao Lianzhong.
After the little maid saluted respectfully, Chu Zheng signaled her to sit down and talk, but the little maid dared not sit down. Chu Zheng had to give up and asked, "When did Miss Li leave?"
"Go back to Chu Shuai, Miss Li left at dawn. By the way, she left the red horse you rewarded, led an old white horse and left with Miss Lian." The little maid secretly looked up at him, then lowered her head.
Chu Zheng looked out the window and said that the snow had been stopped for two days, but the temperature was still very low, and there was no sign of the snow melting.
Through the white snow, Chu Zheng seemed to see the lonely figure leading the old white horse and holding the baby, step by step towards Jiangnan.
In fact, he didn't say all of what he said to Guo Xiang yesterday.
He was a little close to Li Wenxiu, not only because she was somewhat similar to her younger sister in personality, but also because he saw the aura of loneliness in her.
This is a similar atmosphere.
Li Wenxiu has no relatives in this world, and so is he - only those who have no relatives can understand how lonely a rootless prodigal son is.
It’s good that she has returned to Jiangnan. I hope she can return to her roots and find a good destination.
"I understand, thank you for your hard work to deliver the letter." Chu Zheng calmed down, put the letter back into the envelope and put it away, and rewarded the maid with one tael of silver.
After thanking the little maid, she bowed and left the city lord's mansion.
Seeing that no one followed her, she circled left and right in the alley in the city, and finally came to another small inn not far from the city gate and knocked on a certain door.
"Miss, the letter has been delivered to Chu Shuai."
"Yeah, thank you."
"Miss, are you really going to Jiangnan?"
The lonely figure standing at the window sighed: "He is gone, and it doesn't make sense for me to stay."
