For the anxious Pei Susu, the distance of several hundred meters was only a few breaths away. Behind her, Sanwu followed her closely. Although Sanwu could not bear the hardship, he could avoid being exposed to the scorching sun. Who would foolishly continue to bask in the sun instead of hiding in that shady thatched shed
Zhao Jiuge wiped the sweat from his face and stood behind, watching the two people running towards the pergola. He shook his head helplessly, but his dark eyes were full of smiles. Then Zhao Jiuge also hurriedly ran towards the two people. Rush in the direction.
When Zhao Jiuge came to the pergola, he saw Pei Susu and San Wuer staring at each other. However, even if they were just one step away, Zhao Jiuge could clearly feel that the temperature inside the pergola and outside were completely different. Different places. Zhao Jiuge glanced casually and saw clearly the scene inside the pergola.
The pergola made of wood and hay is extremely simple. Apart from a long wooden table at the door and a few wooden pillars inside to support the pergola, there is nothing else. There are only dozens of large and small ones, with some soil on the surface. The watermelon is lying quietly in the corner of the pergola.
And lying on the long table was a middle-aged woman in her forties. The middle-aged woman was wearing a somewhat shabby short-sleeved cloth. The dark cloth had been washed and worn. Zhao Jiuge The face of this middle-aged woman could not be clearly seen. At the moment, she was sleeping soundly on the long wooden table with her head tilted to one side.
The summer weather makes people easily sleepy, not to mention that for these country women who work on the ground all day long, they feel even more tired. Through the side face of this middle-aged woman, Zhao Jiuge can clearly see that even if she is sleeping, Because of the hot weather, this middle-aged woman's forehead was covered with sweat. Along with the slight rise and fall of her body was the melodious and loud snoring.
The skin of the two arms exposed from the cuffs of the clothes was dark, with many wrinkles on them, mixed with a little dirt.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiuge sighed helplessly. For the whole world, the most miserable thing is these ordinary people. If it were not for the chance to embark on the path of cultivation, maybe he would be like them at this moment. He struggled hard for food and clothing, but even though he could control the injustice in the world, he could not control the matter involving the poverty of the people. The depression in his heart could only turn into a sigh.
After a casual glance, Zhao Jiuge knew that this was just a shed selling watermelons. It was already hot at noon in the summer, and almost no one came out, not to mention that it was next to a somewhat remote farmland, and this middle-aged woman might just Unable to bear the summer heat and fatigue, I lay down on the long wooden table and took a nap.
Just when Zhao Jiuge was about to speak, Pei Susu stretched out her white and tender fingers and put them in front of her seductive red lips, making a gesture of prohibiting her from speaking. At the same time, she looked at the middle-aged woman who was sleeping soundly and said, Don't wake people from sleeping.
Zhao Jiuge smiled knowingly and looked at Pei Susu without speaking. He knew that no matter how hot-tempered Pei Susu was on weekdays, she was always so kind in her heart and would consider others even in the smallest things.
But the two of them thought this way, but others didn't think so. They were afraid of making a noise and waking up the middle-aged woman who was still sleeping, but Sanwu was already looking at the watermelon in the corner on the ground. He didn't even blink, his Adam's apple twitched slightly as he swallowed saliva.
"I want to eat watermelon."
After a long while, San Wucai whispered softly, and looked at Zhao Jiuge and San Wu with longing eyes, like a greedy child.
"If you want to eat, just eat. There are a lot of them there and no one will stop you." Pei Susu said angrily, but her voice was very low. She rolled her eyes and looked at Sanwu while fanning her forehead with her hand. The wind seems to bring some coolness.
Sanwu just looked at Pei Susu eagerly, pretending to be cash-strapped, looking back at the watermelon from time to time, and then said softly, "Although I am greedy, only monks will not steal. He is sleeping soundly now. I don't have it." What's the difference between using your mouth with someone else's permission and stealing!"
Normally, Pei Susu could not help but taunt her, but now she didn't want to make too much of a fuss, "I'll just give you the money and I'll eat what you want."
After Pei Susu finished speaking, she took out a magic weapon jade pendant from her storage ring. The jade pendant was not big, only half the thickness of a palm, and exuded a faint luster. After all, it only had the quality of a magic weapon. In this broad daylight, the sun was shining Below, you can see with the naked eye that the jade pendant exudes a soft light yellow halo.
Pei Susu naturally does not have the yellow and white things used by ordinary people, but there are naturally a lot of these gadgets. A jade pendant for a magic weapon is exchanged for a few watermelons. In the eyes of those casual cultivators, it is simply an incredible thing. , although the magic weapon may be very common and this middle-aged woman cannot use it, but wearing it can still turn disaster into good luck. It is more useful than any yellow and white things. What's more, this magic weapon jade pendant is not of high quality, just light. The piece of jade is worth a lot of money if it is made of its own material.
After Pei Susu took out the magic weapon jade pendant, she gently placed it next to the middle-aged woman's forehead. As she took out the magic weapon jade pendant, it seemed that the surrounding temperature dropped a little, with a hint of coolness.
Zhao Jiuge watched everything Pei Susu did silently without making a sound. Perhaps looking at these haggard and tired ordinary people, doing this could bring some comfort to his heart.
Sanwu's face was complicated. After a moment of silence, he returned to his cheerful appearance. He moved two round watermelons from the corner with a bit of dirt on them in a greedy manner. After holding one in each hand, Sanwu He did not forget to use his eyes to indicate to Pei Susu and Zhao Jiuge whether they wanted to take two. Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu shook their heads in unison. For their future, Sanwu is still young after all, with young minds, unable to withstand the temper of eating, drinking and having fun, and they have grown up over the years. Precipitated, but gradually became mature and calm.
With two round watermelons in my hands and nothing to eat, the brief complex emotions just now were quickly swept away, with a satisfied smile on my face.
"Let's go. Although I feel at ease after giving you something, I won't get into trouble again until others wake up."
Seeing Sanwu taking two watermelons, Zhao Jiuge sighed softly and whispered quickly. After a short rest in the pergola, it was not as hot as before. What's more, when you really can't stand it, the spiritual power running in the body, everything All the heat will disappear.
On the long wooden table, the middle-aged woman in simple clothes was still sleeping soundly. The sweat on her forehead stained a few strands of black hair on her forehead. Her snoring was still the same, but the only difference was that there was a jade pendant with high luster and fine patterns placed beside her forehead.
Satisfied and holding two watermelons, Sanwu, Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu looked back at the middle-aged woman who was still sleeping, and then left the hay shed without looking back.
Sanwuhe couldn't wait to split the watermelon with his palm, took it in his hand and ate it in big mouthfuls. The scorching sun above his head seemed to be nothing in front of him. He followed Pei Susu and Zhao Jiuge silently. behind.
"Although these ordinary people are like ants, I long for the life of these ordinary people and am tired of everything my family brings me. When I was a child, I was used to seeing the cheapness of human life, like flying catkins and duckweed, which can be blown away, so I have never liked staying at home since I was a child. I hate everything there. Only in this mundane world can I be happy from the bottom of my heart. Although I have not lacked anything since I was a child, what I yearn for most is actually very plain. I will live a simple life with the person I love most and grow old together, preferably raising two lovely babies."
Pei Susu's tone was something Zhao Jiuge had never heard before, with a hint of helplessness and vicissitudes of life. This was also the first time Pei Susu mentioned her home. However, Zhao Jiuge felt it was a bit ambiguous and only saw the blush on Pei Susu's cheeks because of the last sentence. , I forgot to understand the deeper meaning of this passage for a while.
What Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu didn't notice was that when Pei Susu was saying this, Sanwu, who was engrossed in eating watermelon, raised his head and glanced at Pei Susu's back with deep meaning. That look and eyes were different from those of ordinary Sanwu. Looks like no one is harmless.
"Ant? I was not an ant before."
Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but smile to himself after listening to Pei Susu's words. This reminded him of the way she looked at him when he first met Lin Banruo. Everything appeared before his eyes like a dream.
"Ants also have the happiness of ants, and immortals also have the troubles of immortals. Everyone in the world says that immortals are good, but the troubles of immortals are even greater. The human heart is the most difficult to describe clearly, but no matter what happens in the future, I only hope that you are safe, Susu Just be happy." Then an indescribable look appeared in Zhao Jiuge's eyes, but he was thinking about something that Pei Susu couldn't understand.
"Seriously? Then you will never abandon me no matter what?" Pei Susu was overjoyed when she heard Zhao Jiuge's words. Her beautiful face was filled with joy, and then she couldn't help but ask another question. Zhao Jiuge was surprised by how happy he looked.
"Of course, I will never abandon you no matter what the situation is in the future." Zhao Jiuge smiled slightly and said in a soft voice.
"Pull the hook." Pei Susu stretched out her white and tender little finger and looked directly at Zhao Jiuge. Zhao Jiuge smiled dumbly and was amused by Pei Susu's childish movements, but he still stretched out his hand.
Pei Susu suddenly smiled like a flower, as if the weather was like April.
Behind him, Sanwu's dark eyes were as clear as water, and he looked at the two people who were as sweet as ever. He knew the identity of the two people, and through such long contact, he more or less understood the pain in Pei Susu's heart. At the same time, I can't help but worry about the future of this bad relationship.
However, it didn't take long for Sanwu to smile freely. Love in the world is difficult to understand, not to mention that he is a monk. Everyone in the world says that gods are good. In his opinion, it is best to be free and easy. Women are nothing more than pink skulls, so why bother themselves.
Everyone has his or her own destiny. As for Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu, they can only solve it by themselves in the future. The causes they sow will bear different results.
Gently wiping the watermelon juice from her mouth with her hand, Sanwu smiled, looking so warm and innocent under the scorching sun.
