Chapter 31

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he picked up the wooden barrel filled with water placed by the door and walked down the front porch of the small building. The bamboo basket was put down, and then he squatted down, took out a pair of sharp-edged tampons, a pair of small rattles, a pair of scissors, and a long piece of thin hemp rope from the bamboo basket, and began to reach out to help the quilt Looking at the crushed branches and leaves of a winter tea plum that was trampled, he frowned slightly, with distress in his eyes.

I saw him carefully cutting off the trampled parts of the crooked plant, with gentle eyes as if he was not treating plants but relatives.

Dongnuan didn't have much research on plants, so she wasn't interested in what Si Jixia was doing at the moment, but her gentle eyes and movements when she looked at Si Jixia were obviously infinitely more focused than when she was looking at her, which made her After brushing and drying her hair, she walked slowly towards him, and squatted beside him to watch him set up the plants, replant them in the soil, and water them again. He couldn't stand up. They are gently tied to other plants that have not been trampled on the side with a fine hemp rope.

Si Jixia didn't reject Dong Nuan Gu's approach, he just turned his head slightly and glanced at her, then moved a little to the side, widening the distance between Dong Nuan Gu and Dong Nuan Gu, Dong Nuan Gu didn't care, like It was as if he didn't realize that he was deliberately pulling away from her, but just stared at the movements of his hands.

He only has one hand, and although doing these things in an orderly manner seems to be something he is very familiar with, his movements are somewhat slow. Or he can only hold the plants with his feet when he wants to hold the water ladle, his body is so tense that he stretches out his feet awkwardly, and the cloak on his shoulders hangs on the ground, still covering his whole body. body.

When Si Jixia used his feet to dig the soil for the fourth time, Dong Nuangu stretched out his hand to support the small tea plum plant he was holding with his hands. When she was holding the tea plum plant, her fingertips inadvertently touched When he reached the back of Si Jixia's hand, he suddenly withdrew his hand, and finally raised his eyes to look at her.

But Dong Nuangu didn't look at him this time, but just looked at the chamei in her hand.

But this time, Si Jixia didn't refuse her help, he just looked away and filled Chamei with soil.

Dong Nuan therefore raised his eyes when Si Jixia was only concerned about the work in his hands, and looked at his side face quietly. The pale sunlight of late autumn fell on his face, making his already slightly pale face stand out. Even paler, because of concentration, he didn't notice that most of his long loose hair was slanted beside his cheek, and it was about to block his eyes and block his sight——

Dong Nuangu slowly raised his hand, approaching his ear, and pinned his loose hair behind his ear.

Si Jixia's hand that was holding the water ladle suddenly trembled, most of the water he just scooped up was splashed, he looked up at Dong Nuan Gu in astonishment, but Dong Nuan Gu just smiled at him, reached out and took the water in his hand He scooped a ladle out of the bucket again and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Si Jixia took the ladle that Dong Nuangu handed him, hurriedly turned his eyes away, and continued to focus on his vegetation.

Just now Dongnuan's hair that had been pinned behind his ears fell down a little again, just covering his ears, so Dongnuan didn't see his reddened ears at the moment.

After Si Jixia took care of his plants, he asked Dong Nuan to rest while he took a small rattan box from the house. Dong Nuan stood on the front porch of the house looking at him, and Si Jixia said to her lightly: " I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back before half past you, is there anything Miss Ah Nuan that I can help bring back?"

Dong Nuan Gu shook his head, Si Jixia no longer wanted to leave, but Dong Nuan Gu stood in front of him before he walked to the corridor.

"What's the matter, Miss Ah Nuan?" Si Jixia was puzzled.

Dongnuan seemed to be used to pulling up his left hand, and didn't care if he hated it, so he just wrote four words on his palm with his fingertips - go early and return early.

After finishing Dong Nuan's story, Si Jixia withdrew his hand abruptly, a look of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, then nodded, and strode out of the yard.

Dong Nuan went back to the house, and two quarters of an hour later she came out of the house wearing a thin dark blue cloak, went down the front porch, and turned to the yard behind the small building.

Dong Nuan was standing under the lush banyan tree next to the old well in the small backyard. He looked up at the thick trunk, took off the cloak on his shoulders and threw it on the tree, and then climbed up the trunk. She has practiced martial arts, but fortunately, Miss Jiao is not strong enough to lift her hands and shoulders. She has lived in the city since she was a child. Although climbing trees is not easy, it is not difficult at all.

Winter is warm, so after climbing to the tree, I can see the place outside the high wall of the yard. It is a secluded place that no one will pass by. It is surrounded by gravel and weeds, and I feel satisfied.

She wants to go outside the mansion, and she will naturally not choose to go out through the door of King Yi's mansion blatantly. She can't easily jump over the eaves and walls, so she can only choose this way. This banyan tree is useful to her when she looks at it this morning. The outside is a desolate place, which is just what she wants.

Dong Nuan untied the hemp rope wrapped around his waist before leaving the house, tied it to the tree trunk, tried to pull it to make sure it was safe, and then easily fell to the ground outside the high wall along the hemp rope, just in case One, she threw the hemp rope all over the wall, and when she came back, she would find a long stick to hook it off.

Dong Nuan clapped his hands, fastened the cloak on his shoulders again, and left the high wall.

She can come back before You Hour.

Although Qingbi County is far less prosperous and bustling than Nanbi City, it has all kinds of stalls and shops. What Nanbi City has is here, and what Nanbi City doesn't have may be found here.

Dongnuan didn't want to attract attention, so he pulled up the hood on his cloak and walked to a shop with a big "Dang" written on the banner.

The pawn shop in the afternoon was very quiet, the waiter was leaning against the door and taking a nap, the shopkeeper was behind the counter with his head bowed and doing his calculations, the sound of the rattling abacus echoed in the shop, which made the quietness even more evident at this time .

Dongnuangu's footsteps were so light that he didn't notice when she passed by the little boy who was leaning against the door and taking a nap. Even the shopkeeper stayed there until Dongnuangu stood in front of the counter for a while. He just discovered her existence, but he just raised his head to glance at her, then lowered his head and continued to dial his abacus. He said very unenthusiasmly, "What do you want to live and die?"

Dong Nuan took out a small item from his waist, put it in front of the shopkeeper with a "snap", and said in a flat voice, "Damn it."

It was a finely carved suet white jade pendant.

When the shopkeeper saw the jade pendant, he suddenly stopped moving the abacus, and then continued to move the abacus without lifting his eyelids, and said in an indifferent tone: "50 taels."
