Chapter 38: Once the sea, then Wushan 3

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the heat suddenly came to the face, accompanied by a smell of meat, directly hooking the greedy worm in the stomach.

Shu Yu sniffed intoxicatedly. The eel in the pot was to nourish his mother, so he had to smell it to relieve his craving.

"Are you familiar with it?" A voice like Bi came from outside the door.

"It's ripe, it smells so good!" Put down the lid of the pot, Shu Yu picked up the broken rag, carefully took out the notched bowl from the hot water, and carefully put it on the cutting board to cool it.

Rubi squatted in the yard to dry the dates. The midday sun made the ground hot, but she couldn't see a drop of sweat on her face.

"Thanks to you, I haven't smelled meat for a long time. I will definitely get better after eating meat!"

Rubi smiled slightly and did not raise her head: "The eel is warm and nourishing, and people who are weak will naturally get better after eating it."

Shu Yu took the hot eel to the house. Shu's mother was surprised and happy. She even praised her son's ability. The mother and son had to say some touching words. Ru Bi listened in the courtyard, and her expression seemed to recall the past, confused and quiet.

Not long after, Shu Yu came out with an empty bowl again. Seeing that she was still basking in the sun, he hurried forward: "Don't squat here in such a big sun. Go down to the shade of the tree." Although the Shu family's house is broken, there is a big tree next to it, which can shelter from the wind and rain and enjoy the cool, which is also gratifying.

Rubi went down to the tree according to his words. The mottled tree shadow cast on her and sifted with the wind, which made her seem to melt into the trunk. It was so natural that it seemed that it was part of nature. It was exactly this scene that Shu saw when she came out of the kitchen.

After three or five days of acquaintance, what they do every day is nothing more than picking medicine, going home to simmering medicine, catching fish in the field, and going home to stewing meat, both inside and outside for Shu's mother to recover as soon as possible. Rubi always asks him to go to the city alone, because others can't see the ghost and will be afraid to hear him talking to himself. Not only to outsiders, but also to Shu's mother.

Shu's mother has asked many times who opened the recipe for himself and who taught him how to recuperate. Shu Yu really wanted to tell his mother the truth and let his mother thank the life-saving benefactor. However, because Rubi refused to be in front of him, he had to answer what he found from the medical book. Whenever his mother praised him, he felt sincerely ashamed.

It was night, and the lights at home ran out of fuel, but there were still some books to copy. Rubi led him to the grass to catch fireflies. Although the light was weak, it was barely available. Shu kept rubbing her eyes and trying to keep the handwriting neat.

"Don't do the work of copying books in the future. If I can help you, you can go to the nearby village for medical treatment. The money for copying books is not enough to buy rice for the coming year." Rubi held the Firefly bag and suddenly said.

Shu Yu's heart jumped. What she meant was that she was willing to continue to be with her company?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Rubi changed his words: "Or after working for a few years and saving money to test merit, it's better to be a teacher than to copy books."

"No, no, it's good to be a doctor. It's good to save lives and solve people's dangers," Shu Yu said quickly, "It's just that I don't know medical skills after all. Can I practice medicine... Really do it?"

Rubi said lightly, "You don't have to worry about me."

But will you always be with me? Shu Yu's heart jumped wildly, and he almost blurted out his impulsive words. But he didn't dare to say that he was a poor scholar. Although Rubi had died for a long time, she was still a good girl. In case she refused...

"Yes, yes, that's right," in the end, he had to talk about him, "I've never asked you, how can you be proficient in Qihuang? Did you know it before, or did you learn it later?

Rubi stood quietly and said quietly: "I probably did it before. I've been sleeping on the ground before and haven't come out."

"What?" Shu Yu put down his pen and said, "So your grave should be nearby?" Where is it? I can also go to worship.

She smiled and said, "People are right in front of you. What else do you worship? Write quickly, or you will go to bed late again."

Shu Yu smiled shyly and quickly picked up the pen and continued to copy.

It was easy to finish the last few pages. Shu Yu buried his head in sorting it out. Suddenly, he felt that the light was far away. Looking up, Ru Bi went to the window and untied the firefly. The firefly slowly floated out of the window like stars and rose to the sky.

"Why did you put them away? Maybe it will be used tomorrow.

Shu Yu is very puzzled. Rubi folded the fluorice bag neatly and put it aside: "If you leave them overnight, there will be only a bag of corpses left the next day. Fireflies have a short life, so why imprison them in order to save trouble.

"Fireflies can't live in summer. Compared with people, they are indeed fleeting." Shu Yu said with shame.

"A hundred years of life, compared with the trees in the mountains and the stones in the water, it is just as short as a firefly. If you can't find a reason to shine, you will be mediocre all your life, but it is worse than a firefly."

Rubi's words are not only casual, but also like meaning. Shu Yu became more and more convinced that she must have been a boudoir who had read a lot of poems and books. She was simply different from him. It's better not to ask for it.

"Do you think he is Ji Yuci?" Wei Tanyi almost jumped up from the chair and said, "How do you know he is Ji Yuci?"

Si Si stood with his hand down: "I can feel that he is the same as he used to be. I can't believe that it's not him."

Wei Tanyi stared: "What does it look like now? ...So you came back so late that you broke into the palace?" Si Si bowed his head and didn't answer. He sat back in the chair degrily: "You all regard him as a treasure. Why can't I see what's good about him!"

"He may not be good, but he is Ji Yuci." In a word, he blocked all the words that might complain about Wei Tanyi.

After sulking for a while, Wei Tanyi asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Si Si stood there and twisted his hand: "I want to save him... He used to be so painful. Now that the sky has eyes make him new. How can I bear to be disappointed again?"

"How can you bear it? Can't you save him if you can't bear it?" Wei Tanyi still has a bad tone. Since he broke his face with Song Jing last time, he has been attacked in the dark, not to mention the secret weapon. Occasionally, when walking inaccessible places, he directly jumped out of a few people in black, and he came to ask for his life. Such a cruel man, what is the value of saving a person who can kill a person who used to be a friend and kill people who don't achieve death.

As expected, she didn't answer. She had already known her powerlessness, otherwise she would do anything to return his health in the palace.

Looking at her lonely appearance, Wei Tanyi was furious and couldn't help sympathizing: "Life is in the sky, and you can't force it. Since you have found him, you'd better recognize him as soon as possible. Don't leave eternal regrets."

"Do you mean he can't get through this level!"

"I didn't say that..."

"Is there no way to save him?"

Si Si clenched her fists and chest up and downs. Obviously, she was trying to endure not to attack. She hadn't seen her for a long time. For a long time, Wei Tanyi forgot that she was so strong that she had a headache.

"Do you think it's worth it?" In order not to anger her, Wei Tanyi changed his perspective and asked.

It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not. Si Si clenched her lower lip and didn't say anything. She came out of the palace and should have disappeared after losing the person who needed her protection, but she still stayed in the world for some reason. The answer was in the autumn of that year. She went south with the Yanqun and met Ji Yuci, who was half-earthed in Heling. Since then, she has not been concerned for more than 600 years.

If I hadn't wanted to see him, I would have turned into dust and become one with heaven and earth.

Wei Tanyi sighed without a trace and said, "Listen, recognize him or save him. You can only choose one. Which one do you choose?"
