To Raise a Soul

As soon as he turned out of the kitchen, nothingness jumped out, and Yu Zhen first ran to the side of the rotating basin, circling around the turning basin, turning his head and meowing at him from time to time, as if eager to attract him to see something.

"what happened?"

Yu Zhen walked over, his eyes came into contact with the scene in the turning basin, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

Only a few hours had passed, and the lotus, which was just a tender seedling before leaving the pot, had grown to the size of a normal adult plant, with lush branches and leaves, and a few small flower buds emerged between the leaves.

The clay pots were obviously not enough for them to perform, and the leaves were crowded together, forming a large group of greenery that was about to explode vigorously.

"Meow~"

Wu Wu screamed again, turned around and ran into the pot, squatted in front of the clay pot, raised his head and closed his eyes, stretched out a cat's paw and patted the pot, making a pious prayer appearance.

"You asked me, uh, to pray to the flowers?" Yu Zhen guessed reasonably.

Wu Wu immediately opened his eyes, got up and turned around twice anxiously, then suddenly turned and ran back to him, crawled up along his trouser legs, stretched out his head and arched his hand.

hand?Do you still have to close your eyes and touch the clay basin?

Yu Zhen raised his arms to hold it, and finally Fu Zhixin understood its meaning, and asked, "You want me to give them some merit?"

"Meow meow." Nothingness flicked his tail, and rubbed his head tiredly against his chest.

She pretended to be a milk cat in front of Bu Lian for a while, and now it looks more and more like a cat.

Yu Zhen couldn't help laughing, squeezed its small fat face, felt its warm body, stepped into the pot and said, "Okay then, let's feed a little, do you want it? I just got a lot of Merit, you can spread out a little."

For any spiritual being, getting a gift of merit is a great thing, but nothingness immediately calmed down, looked up at his smiling face, turned around and jumped out of his arms, silently refusing.

"Don't want it?" Yu Zhen asked.

Nothing flicked its tail: "Meow."

Looking at its round buttocks, Yu Zhen couldn't help but bent over and rubbed it.

Yu Zhen was already proficient in sending merits and virtues. After flirting with nothingness, he went to the pot and squatted down, stretching out his hand.

The golden light on the fingertips was concentrated, and the bud closest to his finger seemed to smell something delicious, and it shook its branches and chased after it.

Yu Zhen saw it strangely, his body moved one step ahead of his brain, his fingertips moved over, and lightly tapped on the top of the flower bud.

The golden light fell, and the buds swayed in it. The petals it gathered slowly grew and separated, and the lotus fragrance filled the air. Almost in the blink of an eye, a lotus flower with white petals and golden stamens bloomed under his hands.

Yu Zhen was dumbfounded, her fingers froze in place.

This, what is this?

The finger didn't move away, so the golden light continued to shine, the flowers bloomed more and more, the small lotus pods grew and became bigger and bigger, the petals began to wither and peel off, and the lotus pods became fuller and fuller.

Swish!

Wu Wu, who had been squatting next to him, suddenly sprang up, and accurately pounced on the side of the lotus pod, opened his mouth, and plucked off the lotus pod.

Yu Zhen finally came back to his senses, and as soon as the golden light in his hand was collected, he hurriedly looked down, and saw that nothingness had already opened a corner of the lotus pod with his claws, pulled out the lotus seeds inside, pushed it towards him, and flicked his tail happily: "Meow~ "

The lotus seeds pushed by nothingness are a bit different from ordinary lotus seeds, they are very plump and round, and the skin is a little whitish, forming a very small and fresh milky green.

Yu Zhen picked up the lotus seeds in a stunned mood, turned them over, looked at nothing, and carefully peeled off the skin of the lotus seeds.

A light, but not negligible golden color was revealed, and the slightly bitter lotus fragrance rushed to the face, with a comfortable breath.

"Meow!" Wu Wu jumped onto him, stood up and pushed his hand.

Yu Zhen hurriedly stretched out her hand to stabilize its small body, subdued her surprise slightly, and asked, "You let me eat it?"

Nothingness nodded and continued to push his hand.

The lotus seeds are very fragrant, very fragrant, round, plump and moist, and look delicious, but Yu Zhen did not move. He put away the lotus seeds, carefully picked up the lotus pods and peeled petals on the ground, got up and ran Out of the turn basin.

"Yin Yan, the lotus has bloomed, and the lotus pod has grown, look!" Yu Zhen ran into the kitchen with eyes full of excitement.

Yin Yan tilted his head, glanced at the lotus seeds and lotus pod in his hand, reached out, took the lotus seeds, peeled them neatly, and threw them into the boiling soup in front of him.

"???"

Yu Zhen foolishly glanced at his empty hand, then at the bubbling soup pot in front of Yin Yan, shouted loudly for a rare time, "My lotus seeds!"

"Well, your lotus seeds." Yin Yan nodded, still with a calm face, sprinkled some salt into the soup, and said: "The bodhi golden lotus seeds that have been ripened by merit and virtue are good for tasting."

Yu Zhen stared at him, his temper was too kind, he didn't lose his temper after all, he touched his body, only touched a few toffee that was given at the checkout of the roast duck restaurant, took it out, opened it, stepped forward and threw in a few and said sullenly, "Then I'll come and taste it too!"

After speaking, he turned his head and left, and deliberately threw the candy wrapper on the ground instead of throwing it into the trash can.

Yin Yan looked at the candy wrapper on the ground, then at the soup pot, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

It's good to lose your temper.

After Yin Yan made such a fuss, Yu Zhen's excitement subsided, and he turned to the rotating basin and began to add water to the lotus flower pot.

"It would be great if we could dig a pond here." Yu Zhen muttered, feeling a little distressed for these crowded lotus flowers that could only grow in clay pots.

The lotus in his hand is obviously not the kind of ornamental lotus that is relatively small, but the edible lotus that can grow lotus seeds in large size, and can grow lotus root in the future. No matter how big the pottery pot is, the space is limited. Basins are definitely not enough.

"Why don't you buy a few big tanks and come back?" Yu Zhen was imaginative, raised his hand to support his chin, and rubbed the mud mark on his chin without knowing it.

Wuwu Wenyan, who had been circling around him all the time, looked at him sideways, and suddenly ran to a corner of Zhuanpen, buried his head and started digging, the swishing movement made it a bit loud.

Yu Zhen heard the sound and looked over, first wondering what it was doing, and then thinking of something, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly fetched his own little flowers and shoveled them over, and then buried his head and started digging.

One person and one cat were working in full swing in the turning basin. When Yin Yan finished cooking and came out, there was already a freshly baked small pond in the corner of the turning basin. The pond was filled with diluted boundless water. There are a few flower buds in the middle, which are very green.

"It's done!"

Yu Zhen put down the bucket of water, looked at the pond with satisfaction, smelled the lotus fragrance floating in the air, and his bad mood was swept away.

Nothingness ran up to his shoulders, meowing and flicking his tail, also looking very happy.

"It's time to eat." Yin Yan appeared at the right time, and knocked on the wall of the rotating basin.

Yu Zhen turned his head, and nothingness turned his head too, one person and one cat looked at him with the same painted face, vaguely also with the same stupidity.

Yin Yan was silent for a few seconds, then backed away suddenly, turned around and walked to the table, picked up the lotus pod that Yu Zhen put on it with only one lotus seed peeled off, skillfully peeled off another one, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"..."

"!!!"

Qiu Feiqian felt that there was something wrong between Yin Yan and Yu Zhen. Although the two looked fine, the atmosphere between them was indescribably strange.

She was worried, and kept the two of them in the living room by asking about the situation of the workers, chatting and observing secretly.

"How are the workers recovering?"

"Very well. The two workers with minor injuries can already be discharged from the hospital. The worker with a fracture needs to stay for two more days. In addition, I plan to visit the construction site in two days."

"Well, it's good to go and have a look."

Qiu Feiqian nodded, shifted her eyes to Yu Zhen very naturally, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Zhen, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and parents are busy. Since you and Xiao Yan are resting recently, how about buying new year's goods? Would you like to help mom share a little?"

Yu Zhen nodded obediently, and replied: "Okay, you can make a list for me, and I will buy it."

It's "I", not "we". When talking, I didn't even look at Yin Yan next to me, and my body language was full of rejection.

Qiu Feiqian had a clue in her heart, and couldn't help but glared at Yin Yan, and simply sat down beside Yu Zhen, and said, "Xiao Zhen, where have you and Xiao Yan gone today? Why is there a scent of lotus on your body? It smells so good." of."

"Uh, I went to the roast duck restaurant and the hospital. As for Lianxiang..." Yu Zhen started stuttering, not knowing how to explain the matter of the apartment and Lianxiang. No matter how stupid he is, he also knows that some things cannot be said casually. .

"I also went to Shangdu Community and ate lotus cake. I made it." Yin Yan answered, and naturally pulled Yu Zhen over, turned his head and rubbed his chin on his face, looked at Qiu Feiqian and said, "Mom , I bought a hardcover apartment from Guan Tianyu, which is in Shangdu, and I plan to move there with Yu Zhen in the next year."

"Guan Tianyu? When did you become familiar with him?"

Qiu Feiqian frowned when she heard the words, and seeing them hugging each other intimately, they sat a little far away tactfully, but she didn't have any objection to his request to move out, she just worriedly said: "Why did you buy another apartment? For other houses in the center of the business district, the one you used to live in is not bad, but the one you bought ready-made is not as comfortable as the one you have been decorating yourself."

Yu Zhen was dumbfounded when Yin Yan hugged him, because Qiu Feiqian was around, and it was hard for him to break free, so he wanted to pretend to retreat as if nothing had happened, but Yin Yan didn't let go and hugged him stubbornly, and he didn't know What are you holding your breath for?

"The decoration of the house I used to live in was too depressing, and Yu Zhen might not like it." Yin Yan moved his hand down, placed it comfortably on Yu Zhen's waist, and even bent over too much, gently resting his head on Yu Zhen's shoulder , like a big cat occupying his belongings, squinting his eyes slightly showing a comfortable look, and continued: "The set I bought now is a duplex, and the inside is still very empty. You can let Yu Zhen arrange it according to your own preferences." .”

The warm breath sprayed in the ear, and the back was the warm chest of the other party. Yu Zhen was dumbfounded, not understanding why Yin Yan, who always disliked him and kept a distance from him, was so flustered now that he made such an intimate gesture towards him .

"you……"

【Mom will be worried. 】

Yu Zhen stopped talking, took a look at Qiu Feiqian who was obviously very satisfied with their current intimacy and was holding back her smile, suppressed her unaccustomed, relaxed her body a little, and leaned against Yin Yan.

"That's right, you are newly married, of course you have to live in a new house, okay, since you have your own ideas, then mom won't worry about it, and if you want to buy something big later, tell Xiping and ask him to find someone to arrange it, so that you don't have to go around run."

Seeing that they were in a good relationship, Qiu Feiqian put down her heart and stopped disturbing the world of the two of them. She smiled and got up and went back to the third floor.

As soon as she left, Yu Zhen immediately stepped forward and rubbed Yin Yan's arms.

Yin Yan withdrew his hand in unison, moved back a little, and leaned against the edge of the sofa.

Yu Zhen didn't know what to say, so she got up and said, "I went upstairs to take a shower." She left in a hurry.

Yin Le, who had been observing secretly for a long time, suddenly appeared, leaned over to Yin Yan who was still leaning on the sofa, winked and said viciously: "Brother, you just saw that your brother Wen Yu's hair, hehehe, like pervert."

Yin Yan looked at him sideways, and asked calmly, "Have you finished your homework for the winter vacation?"

"I don't have homework." Yin Le's tone became more thieves, with a bit of meanness.

"Really." Yin Yan withdrew his gaze and straightened his cuffs: "I met the Buchen brothers and sisters today. Bu Lian's cat died, and I am very sad."

The joy on Yin Le's face faded away, and he stretched out his hand to hold Yin Yan's shoulder, with a serious face: "Brother, you are my big brother, show me the way."

Youthful feelings are always poems. For Yin Le, who is in his youth, his poems are Bu Lian of the Bu family!

This is Yin Le's secret, a secret that only the original owner knows.

"I'm not your big brother." Yin Yan pushed his hand away, stood up, and said calmly, "I'm just a pervert."

Yin Le: "..." To be so vengeful!Cheapskate!

While taking a bath, Yu Zhen suddenly became sleepy and almost fell asleep standing up. Fortunately, Xu Wu called out a few times outside the door to bring him back to his senses, and he was saved from the danger of falling into the bathtub. Pajamas, threw himself onto the bed.

The fragrance of lotus in the room suddenly became strong.

Yin Yan opened the door and walked in, looked at Wu Wu who was crouching in front of the bed, and asked, "When did it happen?"

Nothingness meowed and flicked its tail.

Yin Yan waved it into the sea of ​​consciousness, walked to the bed, dried Yu Zhen's hair first, then helped him lie flat, and stood by his side.

The bodhi golden lotus seeds ripened by merit and virtue have strong medicinal effects. Yu Zhen is now just a mortal with a broken soul and body. Although he only ate one lotus seed under Yin Yan's intentional guidance, he will still suffer a little to digest it completely.

About an hour later, Yu Zhen, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly struggled, her fair skin turned red quickly, her hair was wet with sweat, then her pajamas, and finally even the sheets became wet.

Yin Yan got up and took out a ball to feed him, turned to the bathroom to fetch water to wipe his head and body, the sheets and quilts were not changed, because it was useless, after a while, Yu Zhen would sweat again, and Yu Zhen, who is now confused, has no feeling about the outside world, only feels hot.

The fragrance of the lotus became stronger and stronger, and a little golden light began to emerge around Yu Zhen's body. Yin Yan made a magical barrier to lock all the visions, hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand to peel off all the clothes on Yu Zhen's body.

In the early hours of the morning, wisps of black air suddenly emitted from Yu Zhen's body, but Lianxiang gradually weakened.

Yin Yan took out the kit, took out the hair inside, let the hair absorb all the black energy, then quickly sealed it, put the ominous hair back into the kit, and locked it in the deepest part of the sea of ​​consciousness.

When the first ray of sunlight came in through the gap in the curtains, Yu Zhen finally settled down, no longer sweating or struggling.

Yin Yan fetched water again to help him wipe his body, then wrapped him in a blanket, put him on the sofa first, and carried him back to the bed after changing the sheets and quilts, and covered him with the quilt.

Qiu Feiqian was a little happy, because Yu Zhen was not seen at the breakfast table, and Yin Yan sent a pile of dirty sheets and pajamas to the laundry room before the meal.

All the signs indicated that what she had hoped for had come true.

"Let the kitchen warm up something easy to digest, and serve it to Xiaozhen when he wakes up. Don't run around today, stay at home with Xiaozhen."

Qiu Feiqian asked, seeing that her eldest son had a layer of dark circles under his eyes and looked like he hadn't slept well. After he was happy, he couldn't help nagging, and said, "You can't do such nonsense when you are newly married. You should do everything in moderation. Forget it, forget it, as long as you understand."

Yin Yan nodded with a calm face, and listened to the training honestly, as if he really did what Qiu Feiqian imagined.

So everyone was happy, Qiu Feiqian happily went out to the company, and before leaving, she didn't forget to stop her husband's talk, and Yin Le also went out wisely, not being a light bulb.

After the family left, Yin Yan went upstairs to check on Yu Zhen's situation. Seeing that he was still sleeping, he went downstairs again, took over Mama Hu's job in the kitchen, washed out the small casserole by himself, and started cooking porridge.

"It's still the young master who knows how to be considerate." Mama Hu joked with a smile on her face.

Yin Yan stirred the pearl rice in the pot that was specially used to make porridge, and responded casually, without moving his eyes from the porridge, looking very focused.

Seeing this, Mama Hu's smile deepened, she walked out of the kitchen lightly, and stopped disturbing him.

The aroma of porridge slowly dissipated, Yin Yan glanced sideways at the kitchen door, moved his fingers slightly, and a small jade bottle appeared out of thin air.He held it, opened the mouth of the bottle, and poured a little of the light golden liquid inside, and the sweet fragrance filled the air instantly.

Yu Zhen opened his eyes and lay down for a while, suddenly a carp sat up straight and lifted the quilt.

The sheets are very slippery, the quilt is very warm, the skin is in direct contact with them, and there is a feeling of appropriateness and comfort.

He moved his bare legs, glanced at the little brother who greeted him "candidly" in the morning, and tried his best to recall the things before going to bed, but he only remembered the scene of hearing nothingness when he was taking a bath, and then Blank.

what's the situation?Did he really fall asleep in the bathroom?Was it Yin Yan who moved him to the bed?Also, haven't you dressed him yet?

click.

The doorknob was turned, and the door was pushed open, a sweet scent wafted in, and Yin Yan walked in with a tray.

The two stared at each other, Yu Zhen looked down at her naked self, grabbed the quilt to cover herself, lay down and shrunk in, blushing and shouted: "You didn't see anything!"

Yin Yan let go of his held breath, took out a fire-reducing ball and ate it, stepped forward and put the tray on the bedside table, and said: "You have just absorbed the power of the Bodhi lotus seed, and your situation is still unstable, you need to stabilize it. Get up and eat this bowl of porridge."

Bodhi lotus seeds?

Yu Zhen remembered the pot of soup that Yin Yan seasoned with lotus seeds last night, and realized that his body was much more relaxed, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. He tightened his fingers, and the cocoons made by planting flowers in his palm disappeared. up.

He lifted the quilt and poked his head out, looked at Yin Yan who was standing beside the bed, and asked, "What effect does that lotus seed have?"

Yin Yan looked at his rosy cheeks and messy hair, and suddenly turned around and went to the closet, found a set of pajamas from it and threw it on his face to block him, and replied: "The effect of Bodhi lotus seeds varies from person to person. Where it is lacking, it will make up for you.”

Most lacking?

What he lacks most should be his soul, so did Lianzi replenish his soul?

Yu Zhen was overjoyed.

"But the soul is not included, so the lotus seeds only nourish your body, eliminating part of the impact of the incomplete soul and body on your body." Yin Yan spoke again panting, and left the room after speaking, leaving only The back of Yu Zhen, who is getting more and more "immortal".

Yu Zhen tore off the pajamas on her face, stared at the door for a few seconds, then turned around and stuffed herself under the quilt again.

The efficacy of the lotus seeds stabilized for three days. During these three days, Yu Zhen started to feel sleepy early every day, and fell asleep until noon, unable to wake up at all.

Qiu Feiqian was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that the eldest son and his wife had a good relationship, but the worry was that if this continued, would the two children suffer from kidney failure?

Yu Zhen was thin-skinned, she couldn't persuade Yin Yan clearly, so she tried to persuade Yin Yan to be temperate, but Yin Yan agreed well, but Yu Zhen still couldn't get up the next day.

She had no choice but to arrange the kitchen to make soup every day, and asked Yu Zhen to eat it every time.

At first, Yu Zhen didn't understand what was going on, and thought that Qiu Feiqian had misunderstood that he was sick, so she explained in embarrassment that she just slept a little longer in the morning and was not sick.It wasn't until the fourth day that he finally recovered, woke up early, and heard Qiu Feiqian order Yin Yan outside the door, that he understood the meaning behind those supplements.

Having been pure for more than 20 years, he was suddenly misunderstood as a lustful young man with kidney deficiency. Yu Zhen was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it, so he hurriedly dragged Yin Yan to the apartment, away from those soups.

"How can you let mom misunderstand like that!"

After arriving at the apartment, Yu Zhen finally couldn't help but say something.

Yin Yan still had a calm face, very confident: "This is the most reasonable excuse to cover up."

Yu Zhen choked, looking at his expressionless face without sadness or joy, a distorted emotion suddenly appeared in his heart that wanted to tear all the peace on this face, he was startled, and raised his hand to cover his face. Holding his chest, he suddenly said: "Yin Yan, did I owe you in my previous life?"

The atmosphere suddenly sank.

Yin Yan looked at him, finally had another expression on his face, and replied seriously: "No, I owe you."
