Chapter 24

The middle-aged man in Liangqi Village recovered his spirit and saved his life, but he still needs to cultivate for a while.Zhong Linlang and Fu Jingce became the heroes of the village, receiving all kinds of vegetables and wild fruits every day.

Even though Fu Jingce had repeatedly stated that he had done nothing, the aunt in the village still refused to let him go, saying that he and Zhong Linlang were a perfect match for their talent and beauty.

After knowing that the two of them are just "brothers and sisters", the ladies' focus became how to make Fu Jingce, who is naturally good-looking, into her own family.

Fu Jingce was found miserable every day and was very impatient. Zhong Linlang gloated and worried that he would be forced to kill one day.

Aunt Gu found Zhong Linlang and asked them about their situation in the back mountain that day. She really couldn't figure out why the sky was so loud with thunder and it was as bright as day, even though it was night.

Of course, Zhong Linlang couldn't tell her the truth. He just explained that he and Fu Jingce were cultivators of immortality and knew a little bit of magic.

Aunt Gu was shocked when she heard this, and immediately praised them as if they were immortals.

Zhong Linlang waved her hand and told her that it was just a matter of little effort.

Fu Jingce finished hunting with Uncle Gu this morning, and came back to rest in the afternoon.

Hearing that he was back, more and more people came to visit, especially Song Shu next door, who was very energetic.

Fu Jingce didn't have much patience with these people, and they all blocked them out and didn't want to see them. Zhong Linlang happened to be his shield.

An old lady who came to visit caught Zhong Linlang, looked around cautiously, and asked mysteriously, "Where's your brother?"

"..." Zhong Linlang also answered her mysteriously, "He's gone to bed."

The aunt didn't give up, she sneakily stuffed a piece of paper into her hand, and repeatedly asked her to hand it over to Fu Jingce.

Zhong Linlang nodded in agreement.

She glanced at the drawing paper in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh, Fu Jingce became more popular overnight.

After the visitors returned disappointed, she walked to Fu Jingce's door and knocked on the door.

Fu Jingce let her in lazily.

He didn't sleep, and stood by the window, flipping through a book boredly in his hand.

Zhong Linlang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he could find the book, so he leaned over to take a look.

It is a book about farming knowledge.

It is not surprising that farmers have such books in their homes.Zhong Linlang looked away.

Fu Jingce closed the scroll at once, turned his head to look at her, "Why do you want me?"

Zhong Linlang curled her lips and said, "I can't come to you if I have nothing to do." She handed over the drawing paper in her hand and told him, "Aunt Wang from the third house on the right gave it to you."

Fu Jingce gave her a suspicious look, and after taking it and opening it, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhong Linlang leaned over to take a look.

The picture on the drawing paper is a young woman who is spinning yarn. She has a good appearance, somewhat similar to Aunt Wang, and it must be her daughter.

"In the future, don't show it to me." Fu Jingce frowned and stuffed the drawing paper back into her hand.

Zhong Linlang was very puzzled, "This is not very good!"

Fu Jingce glared at her.

She immediately kept silent, and suddenly remembered that she came to him not only for this matter, but also to ask about Liu Wanyi.

"I said," Zhong Linlang said hesitantly, "Before you said that Liu Wanyi was your savior, so how did she lose her soul inexplicably, do you know?"

Fu Jingce sighed for a long time, as if recalling the past.

"She saved me five years ago. I didn't know how to repay her for a while. After I recovered from my injury, I left, thinking about making it up to her in the future." The young man lowered his eyes, "After returning to the magic palace, I was put under house arrest again. It took five years for Jin Hong to relieve my foot, and I wanted to go see her, but by the time she lived, she had disappeared, and the room was in a mess."

"I was uneasy and suspected that something happened to her." Fu Jingce continued, "I used magic to search the entire world but there was no trace of her, and suddenly remembered that there is a book of life and death in the underworld. I always need to know whether it is life or death. Then I met you."

Of course there won't be any in the world, Liu Wanyi is a spiritual fetus, but Fu Jingce doesn't know it yet.Zhong Linlang cursed.

"She is a kind person, so she must have no enemies." Fu Jingce thought for a while, "Someone must have intentionally tried to harm her."

Zhong Linlang gave him a tentative look, "Why don't you think about who it would be?"

"I don't know." Fu Jingce shook his head and said again, "If I have to say who it is, I doubt it is Jin Hong. He has never wanted me to live, and I have been under house arrest for various reasons. He can't wait for those who treat me Good people die quickly."

If it's Jin Hong, it's really believable.However, he has no reason to do so. It is not beneficial to kill a woman who is powerless, and this woman is also his brother's savior. Jinhong is such a smart person, it will not be so easy to do it. was discovered.

Zhong Linlang didn't think it was him.

It seems that the clue is broken now, let's look for it again when I have a chance, this matter is really weird.

She sighed, ready to go back and deal with what happened again.When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a black dress on the wooden bench.

There was a big cut in the corner of the dress.

"Why are your clothes torn?" She wondered.

Fu Jingce said innocently, "It was cut yesterday when I went hunting with Uncle Gu, and I can't wear it anymore."

He had liked the dress quite a bit.

Zhong Linlang felt a little gloating in her heart, it was rare for her to see him look remorseful.

She didn't bother him anymore, but when she walked out, she found someone standing at the door.

It was none other than Song Shu.

She was wearing a pink embroidered jacket and skirt, and her hands hanging on her sides were clenched into fists.

Just as Zhong Linlang wanted to ask her why she broke into the backyard, she didn't give her a chance to speak first, and ran away after scolding her shamelessly.

No... Shameless?Zhong Linlang was dumbfounded by her scolding, and after realizing it, she almost didn't catch up and scolded back.

Ever since she was rejected by Fu Jingce last time, Song Shu didn't have a good face towards her, and when she saw her on the road, she mostly walked away with a sneer.

Zhong Linlang didn't care about her because she was scolded by her for the sake of being a mortal.

Song Shu lost her temper for no reason, Zhong Linlang let out a long sigh of relief and told herself not to be angry, not to be angry.

I don't know how much she listened to what she said to Fu Jingce just now.

After Zhong Linlang left, Fu Jingce slept for a while.

It was dark when I woke up again.

After eating, Uncle Gu asked him to help us weave bamboo baskets.

After weaving, he planned to go back to his room to get some clothes and prepare to take a bath.

Fu Jingce clearly remembered that he turned off the light when he left, but when he walked to the door of the room, he found that the door was ajar, and a warm yellow light came out from inside.

Looking through the crack of the door, I saw Zhong Linlang sitting in front of the table with a small sewing basket on it. She held a piece of clothing in her hand and was mending it stitch by stitch with her head down.

There was a big tear in the clothes, it was his.

The girl was sitting with her back to him. From this angle, she could see her serious side face, which was extraordinarily gentle under the reflection of the candlelight beside her.

She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune while mending.

The plain hands are cold, and they are worthy of a pair of scissors.

Fu Jingce pursed his lips.

He just said it casually, but she didn't expect her to take it to heart.No one has ever mended clothes for him except his mother.

The aloof goddess would actually sew plain clothes for him in the cold winter night just because of his words.

Fu Jingce stood outside in silence, eyes half-closed, suddenly at a loss.

He didn't go in.
