Chapter Ten
When Zhang Muyun came back that day, it was already lighted at night.
It seems that compared to his fishing skills, Zhang Muyun's hunting skills seemed not as good as his. After working for the afternoon, he came home in the evening, but only brought a bunch of grass leaf thorn fruit, and didn't even see the bird feathers and rabbit fur. Fortunately, although there was no result, there was no need to worry about the people at home being angry. When he came back, Yuechan still welcomed him in the door with a gentle and respectful attitude, and his kindness seemed to be better than the past.
Tonight, they had millet porridge. When Zhang Muyun changed his clothes, Yuechan put the steaming rice porridge out of the pot and brought it to the table. She also cut some salty pickled cucumbers sent by her neighbors, placed them on a plate, arranged the dishes and chopsticks, and waited for Zhang Muyun to serve. Now Yuechan's cooking skills are in the sky and the ground compared to her first time. Although the ingredients for rice porridge are just the old millet she bought in a neighboring village at a bargaining price, she cooked it with low heat and was boiled on a low-cool basis. When served on the table and ate it in her mouth, it was also mellow and sticky, which was different.
When he arrived at the dinner table, Zhang Muyun ate a few bites of porridge with pickled cucumbers, praised the girl's cooking skills and made progress, and then talked about another strange thing.
"It's so miserable!"
During the break between drinking porridge, Zhang Muyun said with a serious expression:
"Yuechan, I really don't believe there is such a cruel person!"
Hearing this, the girl who was lowering her head and quietly biting the cucumber strips twitched in the corner of her eyes, and she said "um" with a slight sound. Zhang Muyun took a bite of porridge and said:
"On the way back today, I met Yan Daguanren from the neighboring village. He was thieves."
"Oh...ah?"
"Well, although this Yan Gaoren Yan Gui is not a good bird, it's too miserable!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Muyun suddenly lost her appetite, put down the bowl and said in a deep tone:
"Yuechan, you don't know. I met him on the way back just now. I saw that Master Yan was being sent home by Liu Da from our village. You didn't see him. Oh, that kind of tragic moment is not the same. If Liu Da hadn't told me at that time, I wouldn't have recognized him. If he couldn't tell me in detail... I would be shocked by saying it!"
"Um……"
The girl answered softly, but thought to herself:
"So his name is Yan Gui."
With a ulterior motive in my heart, I heard Brother Mu Yun turn his mouth and start to solemnly remind her:
"Miss Yuechan, we have to be more careful. Liu Da said that Yan Gui was thieved in the desert west of our house. This Yan Daguan has practiced his fists for several days. He is like this, so we have to be more careful!"
"ah?!"
Before he could finish what he said, Zhang Muyun suddenly saw the girl looking terrified and scared. Seeing this, he felt a little disgusted and blamed himself for being a little alarmist, which scared the girl's house. After thinking about it, Zhang Muyun added:
"You don't have to worry too much. Look, Yan Gui claimed to have been thieves and said he was a thief, but I think he should be an enemy. In the past, I heard that this guy was specializing in loan sharks, so he saved some urgently, but he also cheated many people. It's not uncommon to have a few enemies."
Originally, it was just an excuse to relieve the girl's emotions, but when Zhang Muyun said this, he suddenly felt that what he said was reasonable, so he continued to analyze according to this idea:
"Besides, Yan Gui has two bad money. He usually likes to show off everywhere. He likes to go to the kilns to find girls and always does things that compete for the wind. In this way, he is inevitably missed. Like us, he does not make enemies and has no money, so why are you afraid of thieves? I think I have lived here for more than ten years, but why have there never been thieves in my business?"
He laughed and remembered another thing:
"It's ridiculous to say that. I saw that Yan Gui was limp and unable to walk. Liu Da was so big that he couldn't resist him, so I wanted to go up and help. Who knew that this Yan Daren was stunned by someone. He watched me walk over with swollen eyes open, and he was so scared that he kept retreating. He staggered under his feet and led Liu Da into the grass nest next to the road - scared, it seemed like I was hitting him. He didn't want to help him! Yuechan, are you ridiculous?"
"Well... it's funny..."
The girl was ulterior motives and didn't dare to say much, but just echoed. After that, Zhang Muyun was hungry for a while and stopped talking, and picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.
He ate the porridge with peace of mind, sucking it with relish, but he didn't know that the girl opposite him was already feeling like she was turning aside!
Yuechan mechanically delivered porridge to her mouth, but she thought in fear and helplessly:
"...I, how could I do that? He has also...practice martial arts?!"
Although more than an hour has passed, the incident in the evening is still vivid in my mind. Since the Zhang family has been in the Zhang family for so many days, the girl who is gentle and gentle in dealing with things has always felt that she is gentle, respectful, frugal, and is a typical good woman. Unexpectedly, she was teased by Yan Gui at that time, and before he could say a few words, she was like a madman. Although she shouted in her heart that she didn't want to, she was like a shrew, full of fierce and vicious thoughts, and she kicked her legs very happily, and she ignored the life and death of that person.
If it was just like this, it would be fine; after all, the thief was lustful and wanted to hijack the traitor and deceive him first. The strangest thing was that he didn't know how he had such great power. He was able to fight smoothly and his movements were proficient, and he seemed to be a thug for years! Yan Gui didn't look thin, but he had no power to fight back under his hands. He was thrown around like a grass handle. It was really...
"Am I possessed by a ghost?"
The girl thought in panic.
"Is there something weird? Could it be that I... have always had strange diseases? Or..."
She tried hard to figure it out, but when she thought of this, Yuechan didn't dare to think about it anymore. If she wanted to think about it, she really wanted to think of those terrifying and insidious things. So she tried her best to clear her mind and try her best to lower her head to drink porridge so that the boy would not see her confused face at the moment. Now, she would never want Zhang Muyun to learn about this!
After a while, her mood calmed down slightly, and Yuechan thought of another layer. When she thought of this, she felt a little relieved.
"Well, even if the disease suddenly broke out, there was nothing wrong with it."
She thought:
"At least I have saved my innocent body."
Thinking of this, her heart thumped again, and she couldn't help but look up at the boy opposite. When she lowered her head again, her originally pale face was already flushed.
Of course, Zhang Muyun didn't know her many twists and turns at this time. After eating for a while, he felt that his stomach was getting fuller and his limbs became warmer. He stopped the bowl and spoon and started talking nonsense:
"Yuechan, don't look at me not getting anything back today. Actually, I'm just not lucky. I have to look at the calendar later. It shouldn't be suitable to hunt today."
"Don't worry, anyway, my archery skills are actually very accurate, but I just don't have the ability to take advantage of the bow and arrow. I have to go to the village tomorrow and find some neatly shaped chicken feathers to carefully tie the arrow feathers!"
"Yeah, it's pretty good..."
Although the boy said this lately, Yuechan didn't see him hunting for chicken feathers in the next seven or eight days. In April, the spring was bright and the grass was lush. In April, the countryside of Dongting Lake was covered with green smoke and colorful flowers. On the second day of April, it was the day when the deceased parents were worshipped. Zhang Muyun also prepared fruit and wine and took Yuechan to the graves of his parents in the southwest wilderness to worship. In front of the grave with lush weeds, he crawled and knelt down, praying devoutly to his parents to rest in the spring, and asked them to bless themselves with great fortune.
In April, spring is in full bloom. After the ancestor worship was over, Jing Muyun suggested that the two of them were not in a hurry to go back. They wandered around the fields covered with grass and wild flowers, learning the style of the city people traveling in spring, and they were comfortable and leisurely.
After wandering and playing for more than an hour, I saw all the spring scenery, and then I was about to go back. When I returned, the drizzle like silk suddenly floated around the clouds in the sky, and the large and small waves rustled down, like sparse white mist covering the land of Luozhou. The spring rain gradually rose, and the smoke was wet. Zhang Muyun took off his shirt and covered the head of the girl with an empty basket, and took her hand and ran home together. In the green countryside, in the boundless silk rain, the two young men and women were running, one in front and one behind, occasionally side by side, with raindrops on their faces and rain, and seemed to be unable to open their eyes, but they looked carefree. Facing the spring breeze and flowers, the two people who had never known each other before were like two fish in the stream, playing in the newly rising spring water.
The clouds and rains are flying, and the villages are covered with fog. Perhaps the unrestrained play of the small Luozhou countryside is nothing more than what is happening in the vast and vast world of Jiuzhou. But at this moment, for the two young men and women running and chasing in the rain, such freedom is worthy of all the joy in the world.
