Chapter 81 You are my brother
There was so much smoke in the fenced courtyard, and the little birds stood on the windowsill, looking up at the rainbow above the waterfall.
Tang Jingyan was in the kitchen where the stove had just started, holding a spoon and putting the freshly cooked meat porridge in a food box, showing a little excitement between her eyebrows.
The trance did not originate from the scene that looked like a dream but was not a dream last night, but was thinking about the fire the night before yesterday.
Tang Jingyan looked cheerful and enthusiastic on the outside, but was not as optimistic on the inside. On the contrary, Tang Jingyan was more sad than ordinary women. She just lived alone all year round, and no one expressed her emotions in her heart. She could only meet people with a smile, so she hid it deeper.
After a sudden big change, Tang Jingyan's inner turmoil has finally calmed down today and gradually recalled the scene the night before.
She opened her eyes and saw the flames all over the house. She didn't know how she got out of the house, and she hid in the corner of the yard, and was sobbing silently in the pouring rain.
She has been lonely since childhood, and has no relatives around her. She is also a group of hungry wolves who are greedy for her family business. In this world, she has no one to rely on.
At that time, she was very scared, thinking about her mother, father, grandpa, and grandma, and relatives who had already left her. But no matter how scared she was at that time, these people could never come back, carry her to safety, comfort her softly, and say, "Silent, don't be afraid, it's okay."
Tang Jingyan thought now that if nothing happened at that time, she would have been alone in the corner until dawn, the fire was extinguished and the rain stopped, and then she would come back to her senses, then get up, put on a bedding, and start cleaning up in the messy yard all over the ground. Only God can complain, and only God can confide.
That is unforgettable loneliness.
Tang Jingwen used to run a small restaurant alone, but she didn't think that living alone was anything but living alone. But when something really happened, she realized that she was really pitiful. She was the only one in the whole world, and no one cared about it. After the Chen family learned that something happened to her, they would be overjoyed and happily took over her property. But this was more unacceptable than no one caring about her, and they could not even die.
Fortunately, not no one in the world remembers her.
Tang Jingyan didn't understand why the first person to run to her was Zuo Lingquan dozens of miles away.
But the sound of "Sister Tang" was heard, and she would never forget the feeling she felt at that time in her life.
It was like a person walking in the dark and dull fog, not seeing the sky above or the earth below, not knowing where to come from or where to go. In despair, a ray of light suddenly lit up in front of him, and behind the light was the most beautiful Taoyuan in the world.
Tang Jingwen once lost too much. Since her parents passed away, it may be the first time that she has realized this feeling again in so many years. It is the feeling of being protected by her parents, or the feeling of home.
Tang Jingyan couldn't figure out why it was Zuo Lingquan, but that was no longer important; what was important was that she didn't want to lose this feeling again, and she never wanted to lose it again in her life.
However, she is bigger than Zuo Lingquan and obviously cannot recognize Zuo Lingquan as her father.
Anyway, Zuo Lingquan calls her sister, so she should be able to treat Zuo Lingquan as her own brother...
...
While thinking about it, the porridge bowl in the food box was full.
Tang Jingwen pinched the earlobe with his hands, then covered the food box and walked to the courtyard of Zuo Lingquan next to the cold pond.
The courtyard where the two lived was not far away. Tang Jingyan's thoughts were a little erratic. She turned over the bamboo forest and looked up at the courtyard, but saw Wu Qingwan walking towards him from the path.
Wu Qingwan was wearing an extremely slim cloud-white long dress, and her hair was simply wrapped in a wooden hairpin, which looked a little messy, but her temperament was outstanding, and such a simple dress did not affect her gorgeous appearance; her warm cheeks looked even more charming than what she saw yesterday, especially her bulging laces trembled slightly as she walked, and when she looked, she looked like a fairy in white suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest.
Tang Jingyan was slightly stunned. She looked down at her dress and was sure that she would not lose to the other party before she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not familiar with Wu Qingwan and wanted to avoid it for the time being, but the path in the forest was not wide. It would be easier to avoid it directly and make the other party feel more attentive. She stopped and prepared to say hello.
However, Wu Qingwan seemed a little distracted. She put her hands on her waist, stirred her fingers together, and walked down her head, without even noticing her.
"Sister Wu?"
"Um?"
Wu Qingwan's shoulders trembled significantly, but she had always been calm and quiet, and did not show much strangeness. She showed a smile on her face and slowly stepped forward and said:
"My Jingyan girl, you're up."
Tang Jingwen held the food box and said with a smile:
"Yes. Sister Wu got up so early."
"I am a practitioner. I was a little bored in practicing last night. I took advantage of the good weather in the morning and went out for a walk. This bird is so beautiful."
"Ji~!"
"I can't pick it up on the roadside, but I can't eat anything."
"grumble?"
"Well... I have to go up there, just..."
"Okay, then Sister Wu will walk slowly."
"good."
After a few awkward conversations, the two women passed each other by each other.
Tang Jingwen felt that Wu Qingwan was a little strange, but she didn't know Tang Jingwen, so she naturally didn't care so much.
Carrying the food box to the small courtyard next to the waterfall, the door in the courtyard was open, and you could see Zuo Lingquan, dressed in black, tidying up the tables and chairs inside.
Tang Jingwen walked into the fence courtyard with a food box and said:
"Xiao Zuo?"
Zuo Lingquan was packing the bed sheets. Hearing the sound, he rolled up the bed sheets and turned around and was a little surprised:
"Sister Tang, why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do in the morning. I cooked some porridge and I couldn't finish it alone, so I brought it to you."
Tang Jingyan entered the room and put down the food box in her hand. She was about to let Zuo Lingquan come over to taste it, but she sniffed, suddenly frowned slightly and looked out the window:
"Xiao Zuo, have you planted heather flowers here? The taste...well..."
Zuo Lingquan had a strange expression, and hurriedly opened the window for ventilation, saying with a smile:
"The yard is a little old, and it smells a little when it rains. I'm about to clean it up. Why don't Sister Tang wait outside?"
Tang Jingwen just thought the taste was strange, not bad, she smiled and said:
"It's nothing, it smells good. You can eat first. The porridge that just came out of the pot will not taste good when it is cold."
Zuo Lingquan naturally would not refuse Tang Jingyan's kindness, opened the windows and doors, sat down at the table, and opened the food box.
In addition to white porridge, there was also a plate of fried meat in the food box, which was full of color, fragrance and taste. Even if he was not hungry, he would have a lot of appetite. The dumplings also jumped on the table, spreading their bird's beaks and hungry for feeding.
"Go aside."
Tang Jingyan glared at the dumpling, held it over and held it, and sat down opposite the small table. She had a lot to say in her heart, but when she saw Zuo Lingquan eating the food she cooked seriously, she felt that there was no need to say those words in her heart. She thought about it and talked about something else:
"Xiao Zuo, what does your cultivation look like?"
What was Zuo Lingquan's move to drink porridge? He pressed Aunt Wu's knee on her shoulder and kissed her...
"Well... it's just meditating. After entering into meditation, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and refine it according to the method and method. It should be similar to Sister Tang, right?"
Tang Jingyan rubbed Duanzi's little head and looked at the ground with some confusion:
"When I practiced, I felt strange, just like dreaming. I used to feel like snowing around me. Yesterday, I saw a highlight under the ground, flashing and then disappearing... I don't know if I fell asleep while practicing, so I came over to ask you."
Zuo Lingquan must not have the same feeling, he thought about it:
"Maybe it's because I just refined my qi, but I'm not used to it, so I'm easily distracted. It's better to be proficient in the future."
Tang Jingyan thought so, after all, she had only been practicing for a few days.
After chatting for a few casual words, Tang Jingyun saw the sheets rolled together on the bed, and her heart moved, got up and walked to the front, picked them up, and walked out of the house.
Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan quickly put down his chopsticks:
"Sister Tang, what are you doing?"
"It's okay anyway, I'll wash it for you."
"No, no, I can do it myself, this..."
"You are a man, why are you washing clothes? You call me sister, my brother. If I can't even help with this, why should I be a sister? I'm embarrassed to live here."
Tang Jingyan held the sheet, picked up a wooden basin from the wall and walked towards the stream under the waterfall.
Zuo Lingquan worked hard on the sheets for Aunt Wu all night. The shameless one asked Tang Jingyan to come to wash the sheets. He drank the hot white porridge in one mouthful and ran out to compete:
"It's really no need. Sister Tang is so polite. I'll do it myself..."
"You spread your hands!"
Tang Jingyan has a very strong temper and regards Zuo Lingquan as her little brother, so she would not be polite. Seeing Zuo Lingquan snatching her, she raised her hand and slapped Zuo Lingquan's wrist:
"Why do you become a noble young man when a man is fighting with a woman's house? If you become the princess's son-in-law in the future, you will not be laughed at by the maid to death..."
The courtyard was just under the waterfall. Tang Jingyan came to the stream in just a few words, sat down next to the stone where the senior sisters usually wash their laundry, and started cleaning quickly.
Zuo Lingquan couldn't rob it, so he had to sit down next to him and talk about some trivial matters...—
The stone plaza directly above the waterfall is facing the rising sun.
Wu Qingwan held a wooden barrel and picked up water next to the waterfall. She looked down and saw Tang Jingyan washing the sheets by the stream. Her cheeks turned red, but more of them were annoyed.
This little brat actually ordered others to wash it. Why is his face so thick? After Wu Qingwan glanced at him, she was afraid of being discovered, so she withdrew her gaze and returned to the house with clear water.
Wu Qingwan's cultivation level of twelve levels of Qi refining can long ago avoid dust entering her body, and she can avoid eating grains. Even if she doesn't clean her body for a month and a half, there will be no dust at all.
But it was obviously not possible today. Wu Qingwan felt that her whole body was filled with the smell of Zuo Lingquan. If she had not washed it, she would not dare to go out to meet people.
After all, Wu Qingwan was doing her job for the first time, and she had all kinds of emotions in her heart. However, she was not a teenage girl. She was mature and suppressed these emotions very well, but she just washed her arms and legs seriously.
At this time, Wu Qingwan was alone, and her eyes were a little complicated. She didn't dare to recall the details of last night, but she probably remembered that she always felt that she had read the wrong person.
Lingquan used to be so elegant and easy-going doll, why did he suddenly become like that...
Like an old colored embryo, one after another...
Did you misunderstand it before, or did you both men?
Wu Qingwan had never seen other men when she was practicing, and she couldn't figure out whether she had seen too little. She had already boarded the pirate ship and it was too late to regret it. She could only bear the bitter fruit silently with three points of resentment.
After working hard for a long time, Wu Qingwan finally washed herself. As soon as she poured out the water, she saw a beautiful girl in a red dress walking over sneakily on the path among the bamboo forest.
Jiang Yi?!
Wu Qingwan's face turned pale, but she immediately returned to normal. She walked to the edge of Shiping, like a dignified and gentle elder, and spoke:
Chapter completed!
