[Zhuxian Qingyunzhi] Please be safe

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

During Chen Xiangchen's busy preparations for several days, he finally looked forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

To say that she is busy is not the case, she still lives quite leisurely these days, sitting in front of the shop when she is not busy.When guests pass by, they can see the beautiful proprietress of Yunlai Inn, sitting in a delicate posture, stretching out her slender jade fingers. Under the bright autumn sun, the green onion-like fingertips seem to be transparent, and she is flipping up and down-peeling peanuts.

Peel off the outer shell, tear off the pink peanut skin, the inner nuts are sweet and white, Chen Xiangchen can't help but eat two when peeling.Recently, the Kung Pao Chicken made by Zhang Mu was quite praised by the guests. She was so tired that she kept peeling peanuts, and her nails, which were carefully trimmed and raised, were almost bald.

In a flash, it will be August [-]th. On this special day, she is determined not to peel peanuts anymore.

Today, apart from her, Shen Mian, and Zhang Mu who came here to make a living, the rest of the people have all gone back.They are all natives of Yudu, so naturally they want to go back for the festival, Chen Xiangshen showed great kindness, and closed the shop at noon, so that everyone can go back early for family reunion.He also asked everyone to carry two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and a cleaned chicken back.

The sweet-scented osmanthus wine was prepared early, and it was specially stored in the magic vessel for several days. When the altar was uncovered, it was full of fragrance. It was not an intoxicating wine, but it made people intoxicated by the fragrance.

With Zhang Mu as a cook, the problem of the dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at night was solved, but she and Shen Mian wanted to worship the moon, so they had to bathe and change their clothes first, and worship the moon god with a pure heart.In fact, she and Shen Mian were not as concerned about the matter of offering sacrifices to the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival as they were when Shen Mian's mother was still alive, so many steps were saved.It's just that omitting is omitting, and at least respect is still required.

Chen Xiangchen wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water, when he saw Zhang Mu chopping firewood, splitting the firewood into two neatly with a knife in his hand, as the boss, seeing such a capable guy, Chen Xiangchen couldn't help feeling relieved for a while.She stepped forward and asked him to help him light the fire and boil the water, then delicately smoothed out the wrinkles on the skirt and the flying sawdust, and stood aside to observe.

She was in the inn business, and it was a joke not to have a cook, and Zhang Mu was the first guy she recruited after she came to Yudu.

At that time, she had just paid for the storefront, and she asked Shen Mian to go out and yell casually, but she yelled a chef back.When she saw Zhang Mu for the first time, she didn't believe him very much. It wasn't that he looked like a villain, but that he was so good-looking. Rather than saying that he was a cook, he was more like a free and easy man walking the rivers and lakes As a scholar, even his demeanor and demeanor are self-contained, with a kind of loyalty in the world.

She didn't believe that he was really a cook until she saw him flipping the frying pan casually and fishing out all kinds of delicacies in the hot oil.

Facts proved how wise and vigilant she was at that time. Zhang Mu was not only a good cook, but also a good buddy. When he was entrusted with the big and small things in the inn, it was always very appropriate.

Chen Xiangchen was a little embarrassed to stand aside, so he said pleasantly, "Is there anyone else in Brother Zhang's family?" Now it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's pitiful to be out alone.

Just as Zhang Mu picked up the chopped firewood, he hugged his arms full. Hearing this, his tall body stopped for a while. He looked back at Chen Xiangchen with a very complicated expression. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "There is a wife at home. died before."

Chen Xiangchen asked out of the heart of caring for the employees, but the clinker stepped on a soft sore spot in other people's hearts. He was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "This man has passed away, Brother Zhang, please forgive me."

Without making a sound, Zhang Mu turned and went into the kitchen.

***

The cauldron boiled water very slowly, until the water boiled, Chen Xiangchen rubbed his numb legs, and planned to carry two buckets upstairs to find Shen Mian.

"Let me do it." Zhang Mu avoided her outstretched thin and weak hands, and walked away with two large buckets lightly and deftly.Chen Xiang watched from behind, felt that his arms were thicker than his calves, so he instantly gave up the idea of ​​self-reliance.

Shen Mian has probably become obsessed with the folk tales recently, and reads them in the room every day like a fascination. Chen Xiangchen is afraid that he will go astray, so he asks him to read the tales. The stories are all similar, usually Write about an ordinary boy whose family was ruined since he was a child, and was picked up and adopted by the righteous cultivators. The boy encountered many adventures in the process of growing up. Others were jealous or jealous of him, and finally drove the boy from good to evil, but because of what he loved The story of a young man who can never erase his conscience and save the world at a critical moment.

The story is very familiar, Chen Xiangchen doesn't understand why Shen Mian can be so fascinated.He is a monster, so is it possible that he still has a sense of substitution for this kind of story?

"Mian'er, Big Brother Zhang has brought up the water for you, hurry up and wash."

Shen Mian put down the book, blinked her eyes and asked, "Sister, can I not untie the bun?"

If you don't know how to untangle your hair, you don't want to wash your hair. At Shen Mian's age, she doesn't like to take a bath. Chen Xiangchen flatly refuses: "No, if you want to wash it, you have to wash it everywhere."

Shen Mian pursed her lips, but she didn't insist anymore.Chen Xiang knew that because this was a habit left behind by his mother, Shen Mian would not really refuse. In his heart, he was afraid that he would miss his mother all the time.

Chen Xiang was satisfied when she saw that Shen Mian had untied her hair obediently, she turned around and said to Zhang Mu with a smile, "Brother Zhang, please boil some more water."

Zhang Mu nodded and went downstairs.

Only then did Chen Xiangchen walk to Shen Mian's side, combed his long hair with his fingers, then took the previously treated hair oil made from crushed hibiscus leaves, put it in warm water, rubbed it into fine foam, and then wiped it On Shen Mian's hair.

Chen Xiangchen was massaging Shen Mian's scalp, while talking nonchalantly: "Do you know, Brother Zhang was married before. I used to think that his personality was such that he didn't understand the style, but I didn't think it was Because his wife died young."

Shen Mian lowered her head obediently, and replied: "Brother Zhang's wife may not be dead. I heard that the enemy came to her on the day they got married and snatched her away. Brother Zhang went after him, but he didn't catch her. Wait until he finds her." The enemy family found that everyone had been dead for several days, but Brother Zhang's new wife was nowhere to be seen, and his life and death were unknown."

Chen Xiang was surprised: "Then why did he tell me that his wife is dead?"

"I don't know either. Hey, sister, can you use some strength?"

Chen Xiangchen replied softly: "Okay." He raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, "Is it powerful now?"

Shen Mian let out a cry of pain, begged for mercy, scooped up water to clean up the foam, and said, "Brother Zhang has been looking for his bride all along, that's why he came to Yudu, but he probably didn't find it."

"How can a living person disappear out of thin air? If Brother Zhang's enemy is dead, why doesn't she go back to find her husband? It's probably a bad luck."

"I don't know. But brother Zhang said that if you live, you must see people, and when you die, you must see corpses."

"He told you? You are a child, why didn't he tell me?"

Shen Mian thought for a while, and said, "You are the boss, so you have a sense of distance."

"..."

Chen Xiangchen sent Shen Mian to take a bath by herself, and specifically told him to wash it thoroughly before walking to her room. When she arrived at the door, she found that two buckets of hot water had been placed, but there was no sign of Zhang Mu. She probed downstairs I yelled twice, but no one answered, I'm afraid he went out.

She thought of Shen Mian's words, and felt that what he said made sense.There is indeed a sense of distance between her and Zhang Mu.

Chen Xiangchen came out after washing, and put on her underwear slowly.While she was taking a bath, Shen Mian came over and said that the stage outside was set up and she wanted to go and see the excitement.

Chen Xiangchen had some vague impressions, it seemed that Zhang Xiaofan and the others raised money for the construction of the dam outside the city, so they rehearsed the play, and it also told the story of the demon girl and the decent young hero.

A few days ago, Shen Mian had said that she wanted to go to the theater, and she agreed, provided that she could only go after the Mid-Autumn Festival and after the dinner was finished. It was still early, and he said that she would go to see the excitement, so she agreed. He's gone.

As soon as she went downstairs, she heard someone knock on the door, so she asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

Qin Wuyan!

Although Chen Xiangchen already had expectations, she did not expect him to come so early, she walked over to open the door without thinking, and unconsciously put a smile on her face: "Yan Huwei."

As soon as the door opened, she felt a little pleasantly surprised. Today, Qin Wuyan did not wear the uniform of the City Guard Mansion, but casual clothes, a blue open-sleeved gown, which made him very different from his usual rigid and serious appearance.A strand of black hair hangs down the side of his face, adding a touch of gentleness to him, making his amorous temperament even more obvious.

She was embarrassed to stare at it, and quickly invited someone in: "Yan Huwei came quite early today."

Qin Wuyan glanced at her, and lightly said, "Isn't it better to be earlier?"

Chen Xiangchen was startled all of a sudden, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help beating his heart.There is no problem with the words, but the tone is so strange.

Not good.

Is this person aware of something?

The last time we met, she left a huge loophole, if you don't check it, it's over. If you check it, I'm afraid she will reveal her little secret thoughts to the world.

That's really bad!

With 12 points of energy, she thought about the four words Qin Wuyan said just now, and replied: "Yan Huwei is willing to reward face, that's naturally good."

She carefully observed Qin Wuyan's face, and the more she looked at it, the more terrified she became. Obviously, what she said was not so good, or it could not play an effective role in comforting her. Qin Wuyan looked at her quietly, and the look in her eyes was indescribable. Creepy.

No matter how dull she was, she felt something was wrong at this moment.

What she saw in her dream was that when Qin Wuyan was no longer Yan Lie, he just changed into a handsome young man's attire. At that time, he was really the poisonous young man of Wan Du Sect.And today, he also appeared here.

This alone made Chen Xiangchen even more uneasy, and almost instantly, her heart beat wildly.

The author has something to say:

Ahhh, do you know that Yang Zi and Qin Junjie are together, and Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu are together!

In the play, unrequited love gets what you want, wipe a bitter tear for us~

I wish you happiness~
