Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1375 What trapped her was reluctance.

The next day.

After a short break, everyone returned to their duties.

Yu Jianling and several of his subordinates took over the general affairs of Licheng and were sorting out the problems left over by Fan Zhongqian, the cancer that was his nest.

Liu Yao led his personal guards to inspect various places in Licheng in disguise to reassure the people.

Cheng Bi went to the Children's Welfare Bureau very early, and Fan Ruixian also went earlier than her.

As for Bai Mingwei, after drinking a bowl of calming soup with just the right ingredients, he actually slept until noon.

When she woke up, the warm winter sun was already reflecting through the window lattice, and there was light golden dust dancing in the air.

She opened her eyes, her brown pupils were infinitely clear.

What came into view was the little gray furry head and a handsome face.

"How did you sleep?"

Xiao Chongyuan opened his mouth softly.

Bai Mingwei looked past Xiao Chongyuan and towards the window frame that was shining with golden light.

She slowly stood up and stretched.

"I slept well, without any dreams."

In response to Xiao Chongyuan's words, she put on her boots, took the coat from the screen and put it on, then walked to the shelf.

There is hot water on the shelf, emitting wisps of steam.

There is also a teacup next to it, and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.

She picked up the teacup, rinsed her mouth, and then washed her face.

Turning around, Xiao Chongyuan handed over a dry towel: "It's cold in the morning, wipe your face first, otherwise the water will freeze your face."

Bai Mingwei wiped his face while saying, "How could you be frozen? Wasn't the brazier burning?"

Xiao Chongyuan walked to the small table and sat cross-legged. He placed a piece of pottery on the table and picked up the pottery jar on the brazier with pliers.

The dishes and chopsticks had already been placed beside him, and he carefully filled two bowls.

The hot food exudes a rich aroma as soon as it is scooped out.

Such a fragrance is undoubtedly tempting on a winter morning.

Bai Mingwei put the handkerchief away and sat opposite Xiao Chongyuan: "Millet porridge? With celery sticks and lean meat cubes? I have never seen this way of eating."

Xiao Chongyuan smiled and said, "One advantage of Jiangbei is that the weather is not that cold. Vegetables like celery and fennel can survive the winter if they are planted in the vegetable garden near the kitchen, so we can still eat them."

"But celery has a fishy taste, so I chose tender celery and only asked for a little bit of the stems, not the leaves, so naturally the taste wouldn't be that strong."

"Putting it into porridge with fresh lean meat will give it a unique taste. Try it and see if you feel a warm feeling in your stomach and heart."

Bai Mingwei looked at the food on the small table, and there was some wonderful light in his eyes that seemed to be about to overflow.

She said: "You can just let your subordinates do these things. How can you do them yourself? You are already very busy."

Xiao Chongyuan smiled and said, "To live and to be alive are two different things, and to live is another thing. Cooking, making tea, warming wine, and boiling soup are all essential pleasures in life."

"If I'm busy, I can ask my subordinates and servants to do it for me, but if I'm free, I will do it myself. Especially cooking for you is a pleasant thing in itself."

Bai Mingwei put a small spoon into the bowl, picked up the bowl, stirred it, and blew gently for a while.

Finally, she placed the bowl in front of Xiao Chongyuan: "The temperature is just right, try it."

After saying that, she picked up another bowl and started eating.

Xiao Chongyuan could no longer suppress his smile and raised his lips: "You said, harmony between husband and wife, respect for each other, is this the situation?"

Bai Ming glanced at him and said, "Eat your meal properly and don't say such cheesy things. It makes people feel uncomfortable."

Xiao Chongyuan whispered softly: "While you are young, you should not hide your feelings. Otherwise, when you grow older, these sweet words will be buried in the years."

"Even if you want to hear it then, I'm afraid I won't be able to express my feelings so directly, so why don't you just accept it? When everything is back to normal in the future, you can take it out and chew on it and savor it."

Bai Mingwei couldn't help laughing: "By the time my teeth have all fallen out, how can I chew on these memories? I'm afraid my brain will be gone and I'll forget everything."

Xiao Chongyuan said, "That's not necessarily true. I will still remember you even after several lifetimes. I can still remember you even with just a quick glance at you in the sea of ​​pear blossoms." Bai Mingwei was full of disbelief, "Let alone whether there is a past life or a present life, no one knows. Even if there is, once a person drinks Mengpo soup, he will forget everything. How can he still remember?"

Xiao Chongyuan said meaningfully: "If your obsession is strong enough, you will remember it."

Bai Mingwei lowered his eyes and looked at the dots of green in the bowl, feeling a little disappointed:

"If people can really become ghosts after death, I hope I can be unaware of it. Otherwise, how painful would it be to watch the people I care about cry over my death?"

Xiao Chongyuan did not answer this question.

He also didn't know whether the reason why he could still feel the outside world and know what happened after his death after his body gradually cooled down in his previous life was because he had become a ghost.

But no matter what, after death, people do not go out like a light, and can still feel the people who cherish them. Isn't this a rare blessing?

After a brief silence, Bai Mingwei put down the bowl.

Xiao Chongyuan asked her, "Are you full?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Don't eat too much, it will easily cause indigestion, take your time."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei stood up, walked to the desk and sat down.

The tabletop was the same as it had been before she fell asleep the night before.

It was effortless for her to pick up where she had left off last night.

Xiao Chongyuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Little girl, are you worried about something?"

Bai Mingwei shook his head and replied with a smile: "Nothing."

Xiao Chongyuan said: "You have mentioned life and death quite often in the past two days."

Bai Mingwei told him: "Maybe it was because of this trip to Jiangbei that I witnessed different kinds of separations of life and death, so I was inspired to write this."

"There are many hardships in life. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused too many deaths and tragedies. I thought my hands were stained with blood and I had long been numb to it."

“However, the more I experience, the more I understand the fragility and insignificance of life, and the more I have a strange understanding of death.”

"I can no longer ignore life. I want to cherish it, I want to save it, I want to do my best to save more lives."

Xiao Chongyuan heard this but did not respond.

It’s less than a year until the little girl turns seventeen.

Maybe the little girl is not afraid of death, but there are too many things that are hard to give up in this world.

So what trapped the little girl was not the prophecy of death before the age of seventeen, but the little girl's attachment to this world.

He knew very well that Liu Yao's rise would mean the little girl's decline.

But, although he knew everything and understood everything, he couldn't say any words of comfort.

Can't do anything either.

The rising imperial star had already shown signs of its appearance.

But the little girl didn't want Liu Yao to die, so how could he go against the little girl's wishes and kill Liu Yao and look for the Emperor Star?

Just to save the little girl's life.

He couldn't do anything, anything that went against the little girl's wishes.

The only thing we can do is to accompany and support.

Thinking of this, his Adam's apple rolled.

He, who always cherished food, suddenly felt that the porridge in the bowl was tasteless and could not eat it at all.

Bai Mingwei noticed that something was wrong with him and regretted saying everything.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Chong Yuan to express such emotion in front of him?

Thinking of this, she was about to speak, but her eyes fell on a corner of the map that was pressed by official documents.

All the words that I wanted to say were swallowed.

She immediately focused her attention, her eyes suddenly fixed: "Chongyuan, I'm afraid something is going to happen!"
