Zhou Shizhi only felt a "buzz" in his ears, he was dumbfounded, and looked at Lu Xiaoshu in a daze, his eyes were hazy and confused, as if in a dream.
"What did you say?" Zhou Shizhi felt that he had kicked into the cloud, and his whole body was in the cloud. He blurted out to ask her, the voice was so hollow and light that it didn't seem like his own.
As soon as Lu Xiaoshu spoke, he was not so coy and embarrassed. Instead, he felt a little smug, so he smiled and said, "I said, the person from Biteng Mountain is actually me! How about it? Hehe, you didn't expect it in your dreams, right? If you didn't My—, I won’t tell you! You must keep the secret for me, and you must not tell it! When we are short of money in the future, I will draw a picture, enough to live for half a year!”
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being funny when he thought of how he was playing around with the world.
It's actually quite uncomfortable to have a secret in your heart, and it feels good to have someone to confide in! Especially this person seemed really frightened by her!
"Xiaoshu," Zhou Shizhi grabbed her shoulders fiercely, his eyes were almost straightened, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoshu, are you telling the truth? Are you joking? So, the picture in Biyuxuan You painted the painting at all? And you learned painting from Mr. Nawu in your village?"
The fate of the misty rain picture was quite twists and turns. Originally, she and the little princess Qinglan just wanted to sell a few taels of silver to make money to live on, but who knew that the domineering butler of Jiang's mansion snatched it forcibly at a super low price. The results of it? It fell into the hands of Master Jiang Er. She was unwilling to steal the painting, and was trapped in a secret room and escaped death. Later, she went to Qilin Villa and took the painting with her.
After making love with Zhou Shizhi, she purposely hung the painting in his study in Biyuxuan. He liked it, and she actually liked it too. She was a little proud of her liking, feeling that her things occupied a corner of his study. .
"That's, that's it!" Lu Xiaoshu had never seen Zhou Shizhi act so solemnly, even if the two of them were living together in the cave on the cliff, his expression was not the same as at this moment.
"You hurt me, let go!" Lu Xiaoshu twisted his body.
"I'm sorry!" Zhou Shizhi came back to his senses and quickly let go of his hand, rubbing her gently, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay." Lu Xiaoshu looked at him with strange eyes, and suddenly felt a kind of frustration: "Why are you not surprised at all!" It almost crushed my shoulder!
"..." Zhou Shizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed, "Surprise, surprise, of course I am! Xiaoshu, do you know when your master came to your village?"
"Where would I know!" Lu Xiaoshu felt disappointed when he saw that he didn't question Bitengshan people in surprise, joy, and admiration, and didn't praise his own paintings, but instead asked about his master.
Hearing his question, he said with a lack of interest: "Master has been in the village as long as I can remember! He and my father have a very good relationship, and he often comes to our house for dinner! Especially when he often goes up the mountain to hunt pheasants and hares." , roe deer and other wild game are brought to our house for my mother to deal with! My master is a bachelor and he is very lazy! The house is in a mess except for the study, my father often asks me and my brother to go Clean it up... Shh, don't talk, there's a fish hooked!"
Lu Xiaoshu regained his energy, staring closely at the slightly trembling buoy on the water surface, flicked and raised his wrist, and with a sound of "crash", a big fish with the length of chopsticks was caught out of the water, stabilizing Landed firmly in the boat.
"Quick, catch him!" Lu Xiaoshu hastily called Zhou Shizhi.
Seeing this, Zhou Shizhi could only stop the topic with a smile, caught the fish, took off the hook, and threw it into the bucket.
Lu Xiaoshu half-closed his eyes and looked at the fish swimming happily in the bucket, and said with a smile: "Red cheeks, thin scales, and a back like a knife, it really looks special, and the taste must be special too! Don't disturb me, I'll catch a few more fish." strip!"
"Okay." Zhou Shizhi could only smile.
With the beginning, things went smoothly. In less than half an hour, Lu Xiaoshu caught five fish in a row, all of similar size. It happened to be noon, and the two of them called it a day and rowed back to the shore.
"There are a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the mountains at this time of year, shall we go into the woods later?" Lu Xiaoshu asked again.
"Okay, you can go wherever you want!" Zhou Shizhi smiled, thinking that he really didn't know who was going out with whom to relax...
The two came to the shore, but the two servants had not returned.
The two of them personally cut and washed the fish in the clear and clean lake water, put two pieces in the casserole they brought, filled with water, ginger and garlic, lit a charcoal fire and put them in the small casserole they brought. It was simmering on the stove.
The remaining fish were marinated in a big tin bowl, Lu Xiaoshu urged Zhou Shizhi to go to the forest to pick up some dry firewood, and grill the fish later.
Zhou Shizhi went honestly.
Lu Xiaoshu leaned against the tree trunk, looked up at the long white clouds in the sky, and waited. After a while, there was a burst of thick water vapor in the casserole, and there was a soft gurgling sound, and the aroma gradually diffused.
"It's so delicious! Is this the girl's stewed fish? It's so elegant!" A warm and clear voice came with a smile, and Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but look up.
I saw a man wearing a moon white gown smiling and standing in front of his eyes. His black hair was tied high, his eyes were clear, and his faint smile was like a breeze blowing. As for his whole body, Lu Xiaoshu raised his head and looked at the long clouds in the sky, just like the soft and white clouds in the sky.
He's a nice, gentle guy.
Behind him followed a servant in a short brown shirt and a square scarf wrapped around his head.
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoshu stood up unconsciously, patted the grass clippings on his body, walked towards him with a smile, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Who is the young master? Why are you here?"
The young master smiled unconsciously and said: "My surname is Rong. The scenery here is quiet and clean. When the weather is good, I will come here to relax from time to time. Why is the girl here? Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is a wilderness after all. The girl is alone It’s better not to come to this kind of place!”
Lu Xiaoshu chuckled, blinked mischievously, and said: "This is the wilderness, except for people like Mr. Rong, I'm afraid they won't meet anyone in ten days and half a month. Does Mr. Rong think he is Bad guy?"
Young Master Rong couldn't help laughing, and glanced at the casserole on the ground again, and said, "Young lady, what a treat! Few people can enjoy freshly caught and cooked fish!"
Lu Xiaoshu smiled with crooked brows and clear eyes, and said generously: "When we meet, we are friends. If Mr. Rong doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay and use some together?"
"Okay, I'm the one who is really lucky today!" Mr. Rong smiled heartily, not afraid of getting his white clothes dirty, he just sat on the grass like this.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled, and sat beside him, chatting with him.
Mr. Rong seems to be very familiar with the surrounding area, where the scenery is like, what is there, and he can't stop talking about it. When Zhou Shizhi came back, he saw the two talking and laughing happily.
Just when Lu Xiaoshu and Mr. Rong didn't know what to say, when they were happy, they both laughed, one was as bright as a flower, and the other was as clear as a cloud. Zhou Shizhi looked down at the big trunk in his arms. Chai, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaoshu!" Zhou Shizhi called out to her loudly.
Lu Xiaoshu looked up to see him, smiled and called "Brother Zhou", got up and went up to meet him, and said, "Why have you been here for so long?"
Hearing that she cared about him, Zhou Shizhi felt a little more at ease. He was about to speak with a smile on his face, but he heard Lu Xiaoshu continue: "If you don't come back again, the salted fish will be old!"
"..." Zhou Shizhi's smile froze, and he said, "No, if we get old, let's catch a few more! Who is that person? How do you know him?"
Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "We know each other when we meet!" He said and pulled Zhou Shizhi closer, and introduced them to each other.
The eyes of the two men met, one was warm and the other indifferent, and they were instantly separated.
Zhou Shizhi put the firewood down, cupped his hands slightly and said, "I never expected to meet someone in such a quiet place today, what a pleasure!"
"It's really a pleasure to meet you! I've never met anyone here, except the two." Mr. Rong returned the gift with a smile.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Lu Xiaoshu asked Zhou Shizhi to light a fire.
Zhou Shizhi glanced at Young Master Rong, who was dressed in white, and knelt down resignedly to take out the flint. I thought to myself what is this kid, and asked me to serve him in vain...
"A Dong, come and light the fire." Mr. Rong ordered the male servant behind him unambiguously.
The male servant agreed, and he stepped forward to accompany him with a smile and said, "Young Master Zhou, let's be a villain!"
Zhou Shizhi naturally wouldn't argue with him, so he went with the flow.
The three sat down, and Lu Xiaoshu continued the topic just now, discussing calligraphy and painting with Mr. Rong. Zhou Shizhi has been on the run for so many years, how can he have the leisure to learn these romantic things? Hearing what the two of them said one by one, where is there room for him to get in? Zhou Shizhi didn't care before, but now, he feels that he still cares.
"Master Rong is really knowledgeable!" Lu Xiaoshu admired, his eyes full of admiration, "And he's so young!" What's more, he's so good-looking...
"Young lady is not bad either," Young Master Rong said with a smile, "I have never seen a woman who is as insightful as a young lady. After listening to the young lady's words, I am suddenly enlightened!"
"The fish is ready, are you still hungry?" Zhou Shizhi finally had something to say.
As soon as Lu Xiaoshu heard this, he felt his stomach growling in protest, and his attention was immediately attracted, he sniffed and laughed, "I'm really hungry when you say that! Such delicious fish, the fish in this lake The fish here is not the same as the outside, and it must taste different! Mr. Rong, please!"
Young Master Rong glanced at Zhou Shi, smiled and nodded in response.
Zhou Shizhi took out the bowls and chopsticks he brought, and said with a faint smile, "Fortunately, I brought a few more today, Mr. Rong, you are welcome!"
In addition to clean bowls and chopsticks, there are also boiled salted peanuts, broad beans, and two plates of chestnut cakes and jujube cakes.
Young Master Rong's eyes flashed, he smiled and thanked them, and then ate with them.
