[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Chapter 44 [Heavy Rain]

When he was bringing the wine glass to his lips, he caught a glimpse of the stairs from the corner of his eye, the hand holding the glass froze slightly, put down the wine glass quickly, and stood up unconsciously.

After meeting him head-on, he obviously didn't think it was a big deal, but looking at him like this, Nian Yi looked uncomfortable.I wanted to ask him why he wasn't asleep, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.

"you……"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips slightly, and asked her with a smile for a while, "But are you hungry?"

The softer his voice became, the more uncomfortable it was for her to hear it.

Nian Yi nodded silently.

"There's still some food in the kitchen, but I don't know if it's cold."

Seeing her calm expression, it was obvious that she didn't want to talk to him too much, Zhan Zhao would have been unaware of such an unreasonable relationship in the past, but at this moment he could inexplicably guess the reason for her anger.

When the heart is astringent, there is a little more joy...

"wait for me a bit."

Zhan Zhao turned sideways and walked towards the kitchen, and Nian Yi habitually followed him.

In the pot was the food he had ordered Xiao Er to prepare, but after a long time, even though the pot was covered with a lid, the food was still cold.Holding the bowl in his hand, he was silent, as if in thought.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Nian Yi couldn't help but speak.

Zhan Zhao brought out the leftovers from the pot, "It's nothing, I can't eat the food... Do you eat noodles?"

"Well, you can eat anything."

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, leaned over to scoop a ladle of water into the pot and poured it into the pot, then went back to the gauze cupboard to get noodles.

Nian Yi stared at his back in a daze for a while, and suddenly realized something.

"you do?"

The fire in the stove had already been lit, Zhan Zhao folded a branch and stuffed it in, he turned his head slightly when he heard the words, "Why? Can't it?"

"No need, no need." Nian hurriedly stepped forward to get the dry firewood in his hand, "I'll do it myself."

Zhan Zhao didn't let go, but looked at her helplessly and smiled wryly: "I still know how to make bowl noodles, are you afraid that my cooking will be unpalatable?"

"no……"

"That's fine." He shook his head lightly, "Since I'm annoying you, at least let me make a bowl of noodles for you, right?"

Nian was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, realizing that his face was burning hot.Fortunately, there was a fire in the stove, so it wasn't too obvious on the face, she pulled her hand away, and didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at him.

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Go and sit for a while, it will be fine soon."

"Ah."

She had no choice but to sit obediently at a small table beside her.After a while, the water boiled, and when the lid was lifted, white air flowed out like a tide.Nian leaned on his elbow, seeing how busy he was, momentarily relieved and momentarily panicked, and when moved, he thought blankly: If it were that little girl, he would probably treat her so well, right?

The crystal-clear noodles were weighed in a colander, and as soon as they were placed in a white porcelain bowl, the aroma immediately overflowed. Zhan Zhao was about to sprinkle shallots when he suddenly turned around and asked her:

"I remember you don't eat green onions?"

She shook her head, "It's okay."

"Then don't let it go." Zhan Zhao washed his hands with water, brought the soup noodles in front of her, and smiled a little shyly, "Try it, maybe it's not very delicious..."

Because his own taste is light, he made it very light, but the soup poured on the surface is stewed by a good old hen. Although it looks colorless, it tastes very delicious.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes to look at her expression, and asked softly, "How is the taste...?"

"Yeah." She chewed the noodles and nodded sincerely, "It's delicious."

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly: "That's good."

She ate half a bowl without saying a word, Nian Yi took a sip of the soup, looked up to see that he was still looking at her, she put down the bowl with her lips pursed, and asked tentatively, "Brother Zhan?"

"Ok?"

"You and Miss Lian have known each other for a long time?"

"Not too long..." he recalled, "only a year or two."

After she finished speaking, she didn't say a word again, she just lowered her head and ate the noodles absently.

Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao thought it was because she still had a grudge against Lianqiao.

"I know that these days, she has been targeting you everywhere... She has such a heart, and she is also influenced by his master, so I can't blame her entirely."

"I don't blame her." After eating the noodles, Nian Yi didn't care, "She's a Taoist priest and I'm a ghost, so I couldn't live in harmony."

"After I've been to Qilian Mountains, I'll go to Kaifeng." She picked up the bowl and found a wooden basin to wash it, "If she still insists on following you..."

After a pause, she lowered her eyes and continued to wash the dishes, "Then it's better for us to part ways."

"..."

After returning to the room and closing the door, there was a faint sound of insects chirping outside the window, Zhan Zhaozheng lowered his head and sighed, and someone on the bed yawned lazily.

"I said, are you going to spend so much time?"

He raised his head, and someone in the darkness sat up and looked to this side.

"What do you mean?"

"What else is there, you know it well." Bai Yutang threw a thick cloak to him, Zhan Zhaoyang took it, and walked slowly to the table and sat down.

"You still treat her..." He hesitated to speak, and hesitated, "Aren't you going to tell her?"

Zhan Zhao circled himself in the hat chair, and shook his head indifferently, "They are all bound in the world, so why add another shackle to her? What's more, what's more, what's the difference if you say it or not? "

"Hey, even though that's the case, but..." After thinking about it carefully, Bai Yutang also felt that this matter was difficult to handle, and Bai Yutang sighed with a headache, "But I think I should like you a little bit when I read you."

The wind was rustling, and no one answered for a long time.

"Zhan Zhao?"

Hearing his long breathing not far away, Bai Yutang sighed, pulled the quilt over, turned over and went back to sleep.

On the second day, the sky cleared, but the courtyard was still wet with many puddles.

Breakfast was bean cakes and porridge, but Lianqiao couldn't get used to bean cakes, so she only took two bites before throwing it to Bai Yutang, while her cat ate pickles and porridge.

He didn't care, just gnawed on what she had eaten, and remembered something in the middle of eating, "By the way, Nianyi, are you looking for someone over there?"

"Yeah." Nian slowly ate the bean cakes one bite at a time, "It was a guard who took me to the frontier back then. I don't know if he is still alive. I want to find him and ask the cause of my death."

Hearing these words, both Zhan Zhao and Lian Qiao were taken aback.

Zhan Zhao didn't expect her to make such a plan, but Lian Qiao was surprised that she even forgot how she died.

"No way, you don't even remember why you died?"

"Can not remember."

She was speechless, "It seems that ghosts don't have a very good memory."

After simply eating breakfast and buying dry food, the group of people still drove the carriage westward.

Bai Yutang and Lian Qiao were sitting in the car, chatting nonstop, while Nian Yi and Zhan Zhao were outside the car, looking at the scenery, chatting from time to time, but it wasn't boring.

At noon when the part-time job took place, the sky was getting gloomy. At first, Zhan Zhao estimated that it would rain in the afternoon, but he didn't realize that the four of them had just had lunch when the heavy rain fell down.

They were still in the suburbs at this time, because the roads of this generation were uneven, driving horses in the rain might be dangerous, so Zhan Zhao had to find a place with a little more shade to stop the car, and the four of them took shelter in the car.

In the ear is the sound of raindrops pattering on the side of the car.

The four people in the car sat facing each other, Zhan Zhao was next to Nian Yi, Lian Qiao was leaning against Bai Yutang, four pairs of eyes, big eyes and small eyes, no one spoke for a long time...

"Cough." Bai Yutang finally cleared his throat at the right time, "It's rare to be free, everyone...do you want to wipe the dominoes?"

Zhan Zhao frowned and looked at him: "Did you bring the cards?"

"No, no, but it can be made simpler."

Lian Qiao turned her head and stared at him: "I don't play, I don't know how to play cards."

Nianyi looked at her coldly, then took out a skull from his sleeve and asked softly, "Then what do you want to play? Do you want to play with stickers?"

"you!"

"Hey, okay, okay..."

Bai Yutang hurriedly pulled the two of them apart, Zhan Zhao calmly took the piece of skull from Nianyi's hand, and stuffed it for her with a water bottle from his bag.

"It doesn't look like it will rain for a long time." Bai Yutang smiled apologetically, "Maybe soon..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderbolt struck and the rain intensified.

Lianqiao was angry: "Crow's mouth, you better stop talking."

The mountain rain was pouring down, and it was raining non-stop. When Bai Yutang was racking his brains to find something to talk about, someone suddenly knocked on the side of the car.Zhan Zhao was closest to the door, so he stretched out his hand to open the curtain.

In the heavy rain, a drenched woman stood outside the car. Seeing that she was dressed simply, she must be a nearby villager.

"My lord, the rain came suddenly. The little lady didn't bring an umbrella when she went out. I wonder if I can get in the car and take shelter?"

Seeing her pale and trembling, looking very pitiful, just as Zhan Zhao wanted to respond, Lian Qiao grabbed his left hand suddenly.

"Wait, don't let her in!" She lowered her voice and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhan, give me my Tai Chi sword."

He immediately understood that he was about to take the sword, but Nian Yi held down his right hand again.

Nian frowned and said, "Don't give it to her, let me do it."

Lianqiao bit her lower lip, almost grinning at her.

Nian Yi went around to the other side of Zhan Zhao, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and said lightly to the woman outside the door:

"There's nothing you want here, let's go quickly."

"Girl, the little lady is just..." The peasant woman was about to explain, but when she saw her, she quickly stopped talking, "Ah, so it's Miss Shi! You little eyesight, let's go, just go."

She bowed respectfully to Chao Nian and was hidden in the boundless spring rain in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Nian Yi put down the curtain and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the rain hag, who always pretends to be a woman in heavy rain and comes out to find someone to shelter from the rain."

Lian Qiao snorted coldly and continued her words, "Then took the opportunity to absorb Yang Qi...you actually let her go!" She gritted her teeth angrily, "Do you know that you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain!?" Then she pointed at Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang, "Did you see it? You are still protecting her every day, you are simply feeding a tiger!"

Having said that, it really doesn't make sense, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, and then smiled awkwardly:

"That didn't hurt us..."

"What do you mean? Just hurt someone else?!" Lian Qiao crossed her arms, turned her head and asked Nian again, "What did that female ghost call you just now? Miss Shi? You are so respectable in the ghost world? I am I heard from Master that there is a big evil ghost who has cultivated for thousands of years and committed all kinds of crimes. Could it be you?"

"No." She explained truthfully, "That's my brother."

"Okay, it's not that the family doesn't belong to the same family." Lianqiao sneered, "Your brother is gouging people's hearts and eating people's livers, and you are said to be a good ghost. I think you are the same!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nian Yi frowned immediately, with anger in his eyes, "He has never done such a thing before!"

"Of course I don't dare to tell you when I do bad things. You think he doesn't eat people's hearts or blood, how did he live for 1000 years?" Lian Qiao raised her eyebrows, "You've been a ghost for so many years, don't you know? With such meager things as joss sticks and paper money, he has grown into a great monster? If it’s that simple, all the evil spirits in the world will probably pile up into a mountain.”

Nian Yi was stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.

"It seems that you really don't know?" Lian Qiao looked at her expression suspiciously, and shrugged her shoulders with great sympathy, "You are also pitiful, you are kept in the dark by him but you don't know it, and you still recognize him as your brother."

Seeing Nianyi's expression was ugly, Zhan Zhaofang interrupted in a deep voice: "Okay, she is her, her brother is her brother, don't confuse the two things."

Lianqiao pouted and had no choice but to stay silent.

She didn't speak, and no one around her spoke again.The rain outside the car was still rushing, and it was hard to see how long it would last. After sitting for a while, Forsythia felt drowsy.

Normally, Zhan Zhao and Nian Yi are not around, so she can occupy two places by herself, and it is enough for her to lie down and sleep.Right now, the four of us are crowded together, and it's a bit troublesome to take a nap.

She nodded her head twice, raised her head in a daze, and simply leaned on Bai Yutang's shoulder. The latter seemed to be used to it, and leaned against her with his head tilted. The two of them slept so naturally.

Nian Yishang was still thinking about Shi Yin, when he nodded his head and saw the two of them, he was stunned for a moment.

"Still thinking about what she said just now?"

Zhan Zhao asked softly beside him.She turned her head to look at him, then lowered her eyes again, humming inaudibly.

"Sometimes you just think too much." Zhan Zhao sighed helplessly, "Living like this is too tiring, so don't think about things you can't figure out."

He asked half helplessly and half jokingly: "Could it be that if you think about it for a while, and struggle and feel uncomfortable for a while, things will develop as you expected?"

Nianyi bit her thumb and frowned fiercely, "But I just...can't help but think..."

His hand was gently taken off by him, and he held it in his palm.

"Then don't think about it from now on, just sleep well."

"En." The warmth spread from the back of her hand very clearly, and it seemed that it was about to spread to her whole body. She closed her eyes as she said, and forced herself to sleep peacefully.

The noisy sound of rain made the world extraordinarily quiet, and the horses outside the car could be vaguely pacing their hooves impatiently, and the raindrops from the tails of the horses slammed on the door of the car.

After an unknown amount of time, Nian Yi suddenly opened his eyes and called him softly:

"Brother Zhan..."

Zhan Zhao just fell asleep when he heard her calling him, so he opened it again.

"how?"

She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a very soft voice:

"Can I rely on you?"

Hearing the words, Zhan Zhao turned his body slightly in her direction, and responded quietly.

The place where the shoulders were close to the heart sank slightly, and the dark fragrance of hair mixed with the fresh smell of rain lingered on the tip of his nose. He still could only hold her hand, not too tight or too light, and the sound of breathing in his ears was light to barely audible.

Even though it was raining outside, this moment was warm and calm.

The author has something to say: That year the Xinghua heavy rain...
