Although the house looks simple and ordinary, it is not bad if you enter it. At least it is clean, bright, and there is no mess.
There are teapots and teacups on the stone table, not ordinary celadon or ceramics, but made of bamboo.
There are many unknown little flowers blooming on the wall, all kinds of colors, purple, yellow, I guess no one takes care of them carefully on weekdays, just throw a bag of seeds down at random, and then let them develop.
It drove pretty well.
At least in this winter, it is not easy to see such a wild scene outside.
In the corner to the south, there is also a red plum that is Lingshuang Aoxue. It is the season now, and the red plum is blooming so brightly that the stretched branches and leaves even reach the house next door.
…
Gu Wuyou walked very slowly.
It was almost like taking a step and taking a look, as if to imprint this house where Li Qinyuan lived for a few years deeply in his mind, and then grind the fine products little by little.
Gu Yu was not as patient as her, and she got bored after walking a few steps. She frowned and looked at her, "What are you looking at? Isn't it cold when you walk so slowly?" When she spoke, she glanced to both sides.
But they are just ordinary trees and flowers. What is there to stop and watch
"nothing."
Gu Wuyou shook her head, her voice was still a little soft, without waiting for Gu Yu to say anything, she glanced at the yard for the last time, then withdrew her gaze and smiled at the person, "Let's go."
Done.
She stepped into the room in front of her.
Maybe it's because I live alone, no one usually comes here, and even the main hall doesn't look like welcoming guests at all, but I can see the owner's habits.
A long sword hangs on the wall.
Gu Wuyou knew that this was Li Qinyuan's sword, and he practiced for an hour every day, regardless of the storm.
On the wooden shelf near the north window, there are many books that are half-opened at random, crickets made from bamboo leaves, flutes made from bamboo, and decorative objects I don’t know where to find them. They are placed casually, without the slightest rules, and there are sticks and shoes for playing ice hockey on the ground, as well as toys for throwing pots... Although it is messy and orderly.
The three of Fu Xian were sitting by the window, and a pot of charcoal was burning in the house.
Qi Xu was most afraid of the cold. He was sitting by the charcoal fire, and he was good at heating the fire. When he saw them coming in, he raised his face and smiled at them. A shallow dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was very cute, "You guys are here."
"It's cold outside, come and have a fire."
Gu Yu blew the cold wind all the way, and it was too cold for a long time, so he didn't care about anything, and just passed by.
Gu Wuyou glanced at him, but he didn't see Li Qinyuan, so he asked, "Where are the others?"
Jing Yubai raised his head and smiled at her, "Qilang is in the kitchen."
"I'm going to find him." Gu Wuyou said these words and went out under their gaze.
Fu Xian really didn't expect Gu Wuyou's courage to be so courageous. They are all still there, so if they say it, they will go out? He widened his eyes with a look of surprise on his face. He watched Gu Wuyou leave the room before he reacted. He stood up and shouted, "Why are you looking for him?"
"You come back to me!"
After speaking, he wanted to go out, and Gu Yu on the side obviously had an idea with him, but before the two of them left, Jing Yubai smiled and said, "Axian, go and tell the driver and let him go to the guesthouse. Buy some cooked food and vegetables, we will stay for hot pot today."
"Why me again?"
Fu Xian really stopped, but he was very unhappy when he was called.
Qi Xu also followed with a smile, "I want to eat his skewers, Axian, ask someone to bring me more."
Fu Xian glared at him angrily, said angrily, "You know how to call me all day long" and went out.
After he went out, Jing Yubai took an orange and put it on a stick and roasted it on the fire, then looked at Gu Yu who was about to step out, and asked with a smile, "Miss Gu Qi, do you want to eat a roasted orange? ?"
What
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around, "Roasted oranges?"
Can oranges be roasted
Seeing her surprised look, Qi Xu explained with a smile: "We were also surprised before, and we don't know where Qilang learned the method, as well as baked sweet potatoes and rice cakes. You don't know how to bake rice cakes, right? Throw the rice cakes into the fire, wait for a quarter of an hour to take them out, remove the outer charred shell, dip them in a sauce, it's delicious."
Gu Yu is not a foodie, but she is still surprised by such a strange way of eating.
The steps under my feet were also a little immobile, and after grinding, I walked back like this, looking at the oranges roasted by Jingyu, hesitatingly said: "Then... give me one too."
The kitchen is not hard to find.
There were not many rooms in this house, so Gu Wuyou turned a corner and found it.
In the small and medium-sized kitchen, the things are quite complete, but apparently it has not been fired for a long time, and a layer of ash can be wiped off the stove. There will be no one in the kitchen. The general was not there at all, only a long pot with a high handle was simmering on a small red clay stove.
The water hasn't turned on yet.
The sharp corners of the pot were already emitting a trace of heat.
Gu Wuyou walked in and looked at this simple and small kitchen, imagining the days when the general lived here alone, he was cooking alone and eating alone, and he was alone in the days when the family should be reunited. Sitting in this small room.
How was he feeling at that time
Gu Wuyou doesn't know.
She only knew that the general in memory was very good at cooking.
Although he was proficient in poetry and books, he never cared about the rules of "a gentleman is far away from the kitchen". After a few years of marriage, whenever she was not in good health, the general would take her to another village without taking anyone to serve her.
Just the two of them, he cooked three meals a day for her.
At that time, she would move a small stool and sit in the kitchen, holding her chin to watch the general busy.
She also asked him, how could he still cook even though he was born in an aristocratic family? How did the General General answer her? He lowered his long and narrow eyes, penetrating all the light under the gorgeous sunset, looking at her and smiling, looking like a gentle and gentle gentleman, "I found it interesting when I was young, so I learned to play."
"… fraud."
Gu Wuyou suppressed his voice, but couldn't suppress the choking in his throat, and said something softly.
What's interesting, find it fun
She was obviously young and struggling, but she didn't want to worry about it.
"Whispering, what are you talking about?" In a quiet place, a young voice suddenly crossed.
Gu Wuyou hurriedly turned her head, and saw that at dusk and sunset, her general was leaning against the door with his arms folded on his chest. Seeing her turning his head, he raised his eyebrows. The young man was dressed in white, very wanton and sparse.
This is a person who is completely different from the warm and dignified person in memory, with the arrogance and vigor that belongs to the young man alone, like a thriving morning sun, dazzling, but it also makes her heart.
Just in addition to this heartbeat, there is a trace of distress that has never been seen before.
Her general is powerful and gentle. In his eyes, it seems that there has never been any hardship. Those big and difficult things that she thought were huge, when they came to him, they seemed to have become extremely small things. can be solved.
But what about her young man
He is arrogant and arrogant, a prodigal son in many people's hearts, with poor grades and ignorance. Even if he is misunderstood, he never bothers to explain, and only uses a hard shell to disguise himself.
As...
She was originally.
"What's the matter?" Li Qinyuan stared at the little girl in red in front of him without blinking, thinking that he had something on his body.
He just went back to the room to change his clothes and tie his hair again. When he came out, he looked in the mirror a few times to make sure that it was all right before coming out.
Could it be that there is something wrong
He frowned, hesitating whether to go back to the room and check again? But seeing Xiao Chili staring at him eagerly, and feeling a little embarrassed by this idea, what is there to dress up
It's like a girl who meets a lover.
He coughed lightly, stern face, and hid all his thoughts, and then without waiting for Gu Wuyou to speak, he stepped in, sat carelessly on the stool beside the red clay small stove, and then nodded his head. He asked, "They are all outside, what are you doing here?"
Gu Wuyou didn't say anything, just stared at him without blinking.
Li Qinyuan felt that this little pepper really had no rules at all. How many times had he stared at him like this? He didn't even listen, he was tired.
In the past, he could be fierce and let people not look at him, but now he can't say anything.
awkward.
It's like being tied up with knot after knot of twine.
The room is so big, when no one speaks, they can hear each other's breathing. Fortunately, there is this kettle, which is boiling a little bit, and the water vapor can just eliminate the embarrassment caused by this layer of silence.
Otherwise, Li Qinyuan was really a little restless.
"I heard from Dabai that you found evidence and gave it to Old Man Xu?" Li Qinyuan thought and thought, and finally chose such a serious matter.
He still thought in his heart, if this girl doesn't speak again, she just stares at him.
He really wanted to kill her.
Fortunately, Wuyou opened her mouth in retrospect, but her voice was not as bright and energetic as before, with some hoarseness and deep sadness, "I went to Miss Huang, and she wrote everything that happened. down."
He really guessed it right. Xiao Chili found Huang Fu, and he didn't know how much effort she had put in. Li Qinyuan whispered "silly" in his heart, but the curvature of the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise upwards.
Afraid that people would see it, he secretly suppressed the raised arc again.
The kitchen was quiet, remembering the words she asked in the morning, Li Qinyuan didn't know what was wrong, but he explained it to someone: "This matter is actually nothing, it's not because of other things that I didn't tell you, people, I did fight. I have nothing to hide, that Zhou Changbai has not been pleasing to my eye for a long time, even if it was someone else that day, I would still beat him up."
Don't know why to explain this.
He had never done such a thing before, and it was a little strange and awkward. He wanted to say a few more words, but his tongue seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't spit out a word again.
Gu Wuyou waited for him to finish speaking, and took it softly, "...I know."
"What's wrong with you?" Li Qinyuan heard the difference between her words, and he didn't care whether it was awkward or not, and looked up at Gu Wuyou directly.
I felt something was wrong with this girl just now. I usually see him like a little yellow warbler, chatting and arguing non-stop, but when no one stopped, he hasn't spoken much today, and now even his voice is not right.
This is…
problem occurs
He stood up straight and stood in front of her. He wanted to get close but felt unruly. He stood there frowning, and asked in a deep voice, "Who bullied you?"
As soon as Gu Wuyou heard his voice, she couldn't help but want to cry. She was obviously not so hypocritical before, but she didn't know what was wrong. Now she has learned such a problem of shedding tears.
She herself is nothing, she just frightens people enough.
Li Qinyuan really panicked and was at a loss. He wanted to wipe her tears for her. He stretched out his hand in the air and forced it to fall. He put it behind him and asked her in a calm voice, "Tell me, who bullied you?"
"Are you guys from Pingshuo fasting or not? Or is it that bastard Zhou Changbai?"
He guessed it one by one, but Gu Wuyou didn't nod or speak. Just when he couldn't bear his temper and was about to go out and ask Fu Xian and the others, the little girl in front of him finally said, "Li Qinyuan."
Li Qinyuan was stunned, this was the first time Xiao Chili called him by his first name.
"What's wrong?"
"I told you that I will find out the truth for you and return your innocence. Even if other people don't believe you, I will always believe in you, and I will always believe in you."
Gu Wuyou looked up at him, "Do you remember these?"
Li Qinyuan didn't expect Xiao Chili to tell him this, and the tips of his ears turned red all of a sudden. He didn't dare to look at anyone, so he turned his head awkwardly, his phoenix eyes staring at a small hole in the wall, and he said after a while, "Speak well. What do these do?"
The gorgeous sunset has slowly turned from red to black.
Gu Wuyou took a deep breath, in such a dusk, she still looked up at her general, at the tips of his reddish ears, at his cheeks with a hint of clouds, her already The face that had been depressed for a long time finally spread a smile again.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Apart from this matter, even if it is anything else, I will always believe in you."
"this--"
"Always count."
"I just wanted to tell you this, nothing else."
Li Qinyuan's heart reappeared in his heart when he heard those words in the alley. No, it was more intense than that day. He just quietly exploded fireworks in his heart that day. of firecrackers.
The crackling crackled, making him dazzled, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He turned his head in a daze, lowered his eyes to look at Gu Wuyou, the little girl had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were as clear and bright as autumn water. Anyone who saw such a pair of natural smiling eyes would be happy.
But at this time, she stared at him for a moment, full of trust and hope, as if he was the only one in her world.
"you--"
Li Qinyuan opened his mouth to say something, but found that his words were too pale. Even though he could write splendid articles, he couldn't say a few words under the gaze of such a pair of eyes.
"cough."
Suddenly, a male voice with laughter sounded outside the door.
Li Qinyuan seemed to have suddenly regained his senses. He turned his head abruptly and saw Jing Yubai, who was standing at the door, looking at them and laughing in Tsing Yi. For some unknown reason, he was actually blocking Gu Wuyou's face. Covered tightly.
He opened his mouth, his voice a little unclear because of the inexplicable heart palpitations, "Why..." When he said it, he frowned, and then he coughed again, "What's wrong?"
Jing Yubai raised his eyebrows jokingly at his actions, but said as usual, "I have hot pot tonight, everything is ready, let's go."
"Oh."
Li Qinyuan nodded, "You go first."
After he finished speaking, he felt that this was really wrong. Under the gaze of Jing Yubai's smiling eyes, he quickly added another sentence, "The water hasn't opened yet, you go first, I'll come in a while."
As he spoke, he glanced behind him, with caution he didn't even notice himself, "You go with Dabai first."
"Okay." Gu Wuyou nodded with a smile, her emotions were almost cleared up, and when she walked out from behind Li Qinyuan, there was nothing unusual, seeing Jing Yubai and greeting people with a smile, "Let's go. Bar."
Jing Yubai also smiled and said "Okay".
He asked people to leave first, and when he was about to leave, he looked back at Li Qinyuan behind him, saw him staring at Gu Wuyou's leaving figure, turned his head awkwardly when he looked back, and said angrily to him: " Are you still leaving?"
After speaking, he sat down angrily, continued to guard the pot of water that had not yet boiled, and took the palm fan and fanned it several times.
It's all Dabai's fault, why are you coming here at this time
Chili pepper too, let her go and really go? Even laughing with Dabai, are they so familiar
But he thinks the most...
It's what Little Pepper said just now.
His heart was still beating so fast, thumping and thumping, so loud that his ears were about to explode, but the opposite was the spread of the smile on his face.
Realizing that Jing Yubai had not left at the door, he reluctantly suppressed the smile on his face, turned his head, and raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"gone."
Jing Yubai smiled, turned around and walked outside. Before the night came, he looked up and had a smile like the moonlight and wind on his face... That's good.
When Li Qinyuan returned to the main hall, the house was already brightly lit, and the hot pot was already boiling. A group of people sat around the Eight Immortals Table. Fu Xian was grabbing a skewer with Gu Yu, and Qi Xu was holding the root roast. Chuan, and muttered in his mouth: "When I said I wanted to buy it just now, why didn't you say it? Now you know to rob me."
"What's yours? I asked the coachman to buy it!"
While grabbing the last skewer with Gu Yu, Fu Xian knew that he was going to return to Qi Xu. After he finished speaking, he called out to Gu Yu, "Gu Qiniang, do you still look like a girl? You are the one who grabs someone like this. Anything to eat?"
After he finished speaking, he was still a little puzzled, "I used to see you eating very elegantly."
Gu Yu's face turned red when she heard this. She used to eat food very elegantly. Every time she eats with Xiao Yi and the others, she chews and swallows slowly, and sometimes she has to cover it with a handkerchief. mouth.
But she didn't really like it at all.
It's just that she had to do this because of the rules from childhood to adulthood.
She had planned the same at first today, but seeing Qi Xu and Fu Xian so happy eating the skewers, and even Gu Wuyou on the side had no scruples, she felt that it was a little too big for her to look like that. gregarious.
Then--
Things have come to this point.
Now, with her blushing face, she can't eat it anymore, but she still stubbornly holds the stick and refuses to let it go, as if she wants to fight with Fu Xian to the end, "Then are you a man? Are you still robbing the girl for food?"
Li Qinyuan never expected to see such a scene.
How long has it been since he experienced such excitement? Can't remember.
This kind of hilarity seemed to pull him down from a high cloud that could not be stepped on, and stepped on the world. Although it was noisy, it was also practical and warm.
Gu Wuyou was the first to see him, the little girl who was sitting on the chair so obediently saw him come in and immediately laughed, the boiling heat made her face red, just like Haruhi. peach blossoms, summer lotus.
Bright and delicate.
Looking at her smile, his eyes flickered slightly.
Qi Xu had also finished eating the last skewer. He was facing the door. When he saw Li Qinyuan, he greeted him with a smile: "Qilang is here."
This sound also made Fu Xian turn his head. Just as he was about to complain to Li Qinyuan, the skewer in his hand was snatched away by Gu Yu. He turned his head and saw Gu Yu smiling under the lights with a smug look on his face. It looked like he was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.
"you--"
"You are fooling!"
Jing Yubai had already started to cook the sliced meat. Seeing Fu Xian like this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Okay, how old you are, just a bunch of barbecued meat. If you want to eat it, then ask someone to buy it."
As he spoke, he said to Li Qinyuan, "Qilang, come and sit here."
Li Qinyuan glanced at the empty seat next to him, and next to him was Xiao Chili, his heart moved slightly, as if he was beating a small drum, but there was nothing unusual on his face, he said lazily "Oh" and sat down past.
Gu Yu and Fu Xian are still bickering, and neither will let anyone else.
Li Qinyuan glanced over there amusedly, and just sat down, before he even took the chopsticks, when he found that his sleeve was gently pulled.
His body almost froze.
With such a bold move, how could there be anyone other than Little Pepper
It's just that he never thought that Xiao Chili's courage was so big, and it was only when no one was there. Now there are so many people! Why doesn't she know scruples at all
Spread the word, does she still have a face
Li Qinyuan couldn't tell what his emotions were in his heart, he was a little nervous, and he was also a little embarrassed because he was afraid of being seen.
"What are you doing?" He turned his head and pretended to be vicious, but it didn't work. As soon as the words came out, a very soft female voice came from his ear, "Here you are."
Um
Li Qinyuan was stunned for a moment. He looked down and saw a small white hand under the table holding a skewer of barbecue meat and handing it to him. Seeing that he didn't take it, he hurriedly said, "Eat it."
After speaking, he added in a very low voice: "Don't let them see it, I finally hid it."
If Ayu knew, she would definitely be angry again.
this fool.
Li Qinyuan's heart suddenly softened, just like the spring water in April, his stiff back softened, and the tense expression on his face slowly melted away.
She took the skewer in her hand and held it firmly in her hand. When the little girl retracted her hand, she could see the red marks left on her thin white fingertips. It looked like she had been holding it for a long time, leaving marks. .
He turned to look at the little girl who deliberately pretended that nothing happened, and lowered her head to cook meat and eat.
Those eyes that usually don't care about anything are not gentle at this time, and even the heart is numb and unbearably soft.
Fu Xian couldn't quarrel with Gu Yu. Just as he was about to sit down angrily, he saw Li Qinyuan holding a bunch of barbecued meat in his hand. He was shocked: "Qilang, where did the barbecued meat in your hand come from?!"
Didn't you finish eating? !
Except for Gu Wuyou, everyone's eyes turned to Li Qinyuan.
Li Qinyuan raised his eyebrows, the softness in his eyes was withdrawn, and he returned to his usual lazy appearance. He didn't hide it, and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Someone gave it."
when speaking.
He also took a quiet glance at the little pepper beside him, the little girl held the chopsticks and lowered her head, tsk, really blushed.
"Who is it!"
Fu Xian was very unhappy, "You don't like to eat these anyway, just give it to me." After he finished speaking, he happily went to grab it, and planned to eat it slowly when he grabbed it, making Gu Yu angry.
But before he touched it, he suddenly hit the chopsticks on the back of his hand. The force was so strong that his tears almost came out. He looked at Li Qinyuan in disbelief. Hit him with a kebab!
"Shiro!"
But the boy sitting on the bench didn't feel guilty at all. Under the shroud of the lights, he tilted his head halfway, his high ponytail swayed, and the skewer in his hand also swayed, looking at Fu Xian. The unbelievable eyes, the phoenix eyes are clear, and the mouth followed with a smile and scolded: "Go away."
His skewers are not given to others.
"Humph!"
Fu Xian held his red hands, sat down angrily, took several chopsticks from Qixu's bowl, stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulately, "You all bully me!"
The young man's temper came and went quickly, not to mention, it was nothing to be angry at first, and when the hot pot boiled, everyone happily ate it again.
This is the first time in a large courtyard, so lively.
