Heartburn

Let Jiang Zhuo chop the pile of firewood instead of me, and I watched her quietly from the side.

As the saying goes, beautiful and delicious, if I put it in the past, I would definitely disdain this statement, but when I met Jiang Zhuo, I knew that this statement was true-otherwise, I just looked at her profile, I would not Feel hungry?

After cutting the last log, she shook her wrist and threw the axe into the open. She turned her face to look at me, with a little concern in her eyes, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

In fact, after a while, my stomach was not too hungry, but I nodded and looked at her expectantly, waiting for her surprise.

"Come with me." She glanced at me lightly and motioned for me to follow-as my eyes were flowing, I seemed to see a smile on her face, although it was shallow, it seemed to be cast on the lake of my heart. A stone, rippled waves, it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

She took me to a small courtyard familiarly, and after sitting down in the courtyard, she ordered the teenager who was wiping the table to bring some food over; the teenager looked at us without asking more, nodded and entered. The kitchen brought a few snacks in a short while.

After having a simple but warm breakfast, Jiang Zhuo was called away by someone sent by Wei Shu, saying that there were some herbs that she needed to help picking; he told me to go back to the yard after eating snacks, and Jiang Zhuo just did whatever he wanted. Left with the male disciple who passed on.

Watching her leave in a hurry, I wiped my mouth and wandered around the dining place idly-this is a separate small yard, it should be a canteen that everyone in Baiyun Valley used to eat. The yard is full of tables, chairs, and chopsticks, and it is only a few steps away from the kitchen where the smell of food comes from time to time.

Because it was long past breakfast and I couldn't see the other people in the valley, only the young man who had just brought me and Jiang Zhuo food; at this moment, I don't know where he went.

Waiting left and right, but no one came. Looking at the leftovers from the table, I followed my good habits, cleaned up a bit, and carried them into the back kitchen.

The cook was not seen in the kitchen either, and he probably went to laziness to rest. There is a big pot of broth stewed on the stove, with a fragrant aroma; the processed ingredients are placed on the chopping board, in an orderly manner; after eating enough and drinking enough, I have a good impression of the kitchen, and I look up, I only think that even the iron The rust on the handle of the spoon looks so cute.

I poured the leftovers, put the dishes in the sink to be washed, and was about to leave, just listened to a slightly rough voice humming an unknown little tune-according to the reputation, it was a person who was washing vegetables He seems to be only fifteen or six years old. He is probably in the transitional period. His voice is not very moving, even a bit harsh, but he shakes his head when he hums, and his self-pleasure is very interesting. It teaches people to ignore that. The messy voice was infected by his happiness and couldn't help but smile.

I listened to him snorting for a while, and I didn't intend to disturb his interest, and lightly walked away from the previous path.

When I walked out of the small canteen, there were two forks in front of me, one leading to the ruined courtyard I lived in last night, and the other to Wei Shu’s medicine room; I didn’t want to face him so as not to ask for trouble, but I didn't want to go back to the ruined courtyard alone to spend the day idly. After thinking about it, I decided to continue walking along the path of the medicine house.

I remember that Jiang Zhuo came to the medicine room to find me after going to the morning exercises in the morning. It can be seen that her morning exercises must pass through the medicine room. Why should I go to explore the terrain and see her practicing swords tomorrow morning!

Moreover, taking advantage of the situation to understand this entire manor is also killing two birds with one stone-since I woke up, I haven't observed this place carefully.

My intuition tells me that there are many hidden secrets here, far from being as simple as they seem; I also want to find a chance to understand where Wei Shu's hostility towards me comes from.

Make up my mind, I walked slowly along the road, holding my breath from time to time to listen, so as not to meet other people in the valley-if they interrogate me and twist me back, it would be bad.

Fortunately, along the way, I did not encounter a half-person figure. It can be seen that what Wei Shu said is true: the disciples in this valley are all self-reliant and perform their duties. People like me who have nothing to do to hang out are really true. Feathers are rare.

I shook my head mockingly. I looked at the direction I was looking at, but found that the shadow of the cafeteria was no longer visible, but further forward, I couldn't see the outline of the medicine room—obviously, I only left when I followed Jiang Zhuo. After a while, why can't I feel the side of the medicine room after I walked almost like a cup of tea now?

Thinking back suspiciously, then he was relieved again-yes, when I came, I was with Jiang Zhuo, and her eyes were filled with her. I only cared about the time and the distance.

It is said that the IQ of people in love will decline, then my current performance, is it also like a silly girl falling in love?

Although, I should just be a crush...

After walking for a while, I never saw the end, as if the road was so long that I could never see the end and the end, and it would never end. No matter how slow or stupefied, I also found that something was wrong—Is this lost?

On both sides are half-human tall trees, densely packed like iron fences. With my fine skin and tender flesh, I can't even think about it. But I can't see the head at a glance, and I can't hear the calls of insects and birds. Less than half of the living creature passed by, as if I was the only one left in the whole world...All the abnormalities that I had taught me to ignore before popped out one by one, and I could no longer deceive myself and comfort myself that nothing happened.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of what Wei Shu said, the trap in Baiyun Valley-those guards were folded in that trap. Then, in the situation I'm encountering now, could it be the trap he said?

It seems that it is a square technique that can make people lose their way, similar to a ghost hitting a wall... Isn't that a rumor of bluffing people, but a real existence?

If it wasn't for me to be the one who is stuck now, and the only one I can rely on Jiang Zhuo is not by my side, I would really be surprised and delve into the principles of this formation with enthusiasm.

Now, just think about how to get out.

However, after trying for a long time, I didn't have a clue.

Seeing that I was in the same place for a long time, I was as anxious as a headless fly, when I heard a familiar male voice full of mockery suddenly broke the silence; with his words, the confusion that taught me to be flustered suddenly became clear. It showed the original appearance-it turned out that I was spinning around in front of the medicine room.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but when I met Wei Shu's joking eyes, I felt a burst of pressure-after all, I was running around on someone else's realm, and I ran into the formation by mistake. When he caught him, I felt a little guilty. .

"Mr. Wei." I greeted him bitterly, and I looked at him calmly.

"His Royal Highness is so Yaxing, why are you interested in my medicine room? I wonder if you have been around for so long, but you can get something?" He copied his hands, so he looked at me with a moment of ridicule in his eyes. Don't hide.

After teaching him such teasing, I only felt that my face was flushed, but I couldn't think of a rebuttal, so I had to change the subject bluntly: "This king is just passing by, and I am going back now."

"Go back? Where do you go back? Go back to the room to sleep? As expected of His Royal Highness Ling, if this is a change of other people, seeing Tian'er lying on the bed, I am afraid that the bones will fall apart." He said. Yi, but it is alluding to me that I like to relax and dislike work, and that I am not working.

I knew that I couldn’t get the benefit of his tongue. Jiang Zhuo, who was able to protect me in action, was not by his side. It was really unwise to confront him. I just regarded him as not understanding his cynicism. Road back-can't provoke it, can't I still not hide

"Hold on..." But he heard him call me with his throat, and quickly took a step diagonally at his feet, stopping me, "I have some medicinal materials that need to be sorted out, but the disciples in the valley have work on hand. My son is dry, I can't get any manpower, I wonder if you can ask your Highness?"

He was polite in his mouth, and his eyes clearly flashed with indisputable cold light——I guess: if I refused, maybe he would throw me back into the obscured formation.

After weighing for a moment between "being trapped in the formation and calling the earth not working every day" and "listening to his task of tidying up the medicinal materials and getting dizzy and cramping in limbs", I resolutely chose the latter.

Since he deliberately made things difficult for me, he did what he wanted.

I just hope that he can really detoxify my body for me, and it won't be in vain to bear with me in every possible way.

So, when I was really tired and dizzy, my limbs cramped, he sneered, sent a little disciple to lead me back to the shabby yard, and brought me a bowl of porridge and a cold bun with white flour. After that, he no longer cares about me.

After a gluttonous meal, I collapsed on the bed as if the bones of my whole body were falling apart. I felt sore and unbearable when I moved. I almost fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow.

When I woke up, it was completely dark. I touched my hungry stomach and sighed silently.

It's so late, hasn't Jiang Zhuo come back yet?

After thinking about it, I was a little worried. Even though my hands and feet were still sore, I still managed to get out of bed and pushed open the door.

The moonlight tonight is really good, but it’s a pity that the person I want to admire with her is not around...I just have the dim moonlight, and I don’t need candlelight. I am bold and driven by the eager desire in my heart. , Carefully walked out towards the path.

Only after walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered the maze formation that I encountered during the day, and my steps couldn't help but retreat a bit.

I looked at the faintly shining light ahead, and made a dimly decision: first try to walk for a while, and if there is something wrong, I will go back immediately.

Thinking about this, I once again plucked up the courage to walk for a while, and suddenly saw the source of the faint light, stepped up a few steps, and found that it was the cafeteria where I had used breakfast during the day-I didn't see it, but I saw it suddenly. In the cafeteria, his stomach screamed conditionedly.

Can't resist the temptation of food, I quietly touched the back kitchen and looked around carefully-it seems, no one?

A faint scent wafted from the stove. I tiptoed over and opened the lid to see that it was a pot of noodles with clear soup and bright soup. It smelled like it was boiled out of old soup, but I didn’t know it tasted Is it as delicious as expected?

I felt salivation in my mouth, and my belly screamed more cheerfully. I was looking for a guy to hold a bowl of feasting, but when I heard an exclamation, I almost fell the lid of the pot in my hand: "Who are you!"

Suddenly, I saw that it was the young cook who was humming a little song during the day; holding two small green onions in his hand and pointing at me, the onions trembled, setting out the young man’s stern thoughts: "Where, where did it come from? Pirate! You, don't come here, or I will call someone!"

After being so teased by him, I secretly smiled in my heart, and I really couldn't help but laugh out; seeing him still pale and staying where he didn't dare to come over, my stomach hurts even more.

Seeing him being frightened, tears were rolling in his eye sockets, and he stepped back, for fear that he called someone in a hurry, I had to rub my belly, squeeze a smile that I thought was gentle and kind, and raised my hands to express myself. Without weapons or malice, he approached him slowly, and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't be afraid, I am not a bad person..."

——Just want to ask for something to eat.

Before I finished speaking, I heard a low, soft female voice with a bit of anger and screaming and asking, like a thunder and explosion: "What are you doing!"

I turned our heads unanimously with the boy, and saw Jiang Zhuo standing at the door, looking at us with a displeased expression. An angry gaze swept back and forth between the two of us, and finally settled on my face— —The coldness in the eyes made me scratch my head, but I shivered subconsciously.
