Chapter 37
Hua Zheyue is still hungry now. Seeing that the house has been abandoned for so long, I don’t know if there is anything to eat. Hua Zheyue broke a branch from a tree in the front yard, leaning on the branch and dragging the lunatic first. I went to the lobby, saw that he was obedient and honest, and did not untie him, so I left him here and ignored him, went around to the backyard to find something to eat, after all, some things can still be stored for a long time of.
There is also a well in the backyard. Hua Zheyue found the kitchen. As soon as he opened the kitchen door, a large cloud of dust rushed in. He choked on a few mouthfuls, fanned the dust with his hands, and walked in.
There are spider webs everywhere in the kitchen, and there are quite a lot of things in the kitchen. Hua Zheyue found a small bag of flour, but it was already moldy, so he had to throw it aside first.
Fortunately, there was still a lot of rice in the rice tank, because it was well stored and did not become moldy. Hua Zheyue carried water in the backyard and cleaned up the kitchen. He lit a fire and cooked porridge, then turned his head and looked out the door , it was already dark.
He drank a large bowl of white rice porridge to satisfy his hunger, beat the porridge in the pot again, filled a bowl of porridge and put it aside, and waited for the water to boil before taking the porridge to the lobby.
The lunatic was still sitting in the middle of the pitch-black lobby, Hua Zheyue immediately helped him untie, and stripped his messy hair to reveal his face.
His face was a bit strange, but the hall was too dark to see clearly.
Hua Zheyue immediately lit the fire to illuminate, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of eagle-like eyes staring straight at him. His face was no longer a face, it was full of pits and black, and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
Hua Zheyue was taken aback, and asked him cautiously: "Are you hungry?"
He stared straight at Hua Zheyue, and said word by word: "Xiao Lian is mine!"
Hua Zheyue was also puzzled, and asked by the way: "Why is she yours?"
The lunatic immediately said viciously: "She is mine!"
Hua Zheyue handed him the porridge bowl, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's yours, are you hungry? Here it is for you."
The lunatic seems to have been hungry for a long time, and he has no resistance to porridge at all. Seeing the porridge in Hua Zheyue's hand, his eyes flashed suddenly, he snatched it, and when he brought it to his mouth, he stopped and hugged the porridge bowl In his arms: "Xiao Lian is also hungry, I want to feed Xiao Lian."
Hua Zheyue suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "It's okay, there is still in the pot, keep it for Xiao Lian, this is yours, eat it."
The lunatic looked at Hua Zheyue, and drank the porridge suspiciously, but cried as soon as he drank it, and he murmured while drinking: "Xiao Lian, I want Xiao Lian..."
Seeing that he finished eating, Hua Zheyue helped him take a bath and change his clothes, tidied up a room for him to sleep, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and fetch hot water to bathe himself.
Soaking in the bathtub and relaxing, when the steam filled the room, a beautiful woman in pink suddenly appeared in the room, her pair of jade feet were half covered by the skirt, and she walked towards herself with small steps.
Hua Zheyue subconsciously dived into the water until only one head was exposed, and asked, "Xiao Lian?"
"Husband~"
Xiao Lian's cry was so tender that it went numb and went straight to the eardrum.
Seeing the people getting closer to her, Hua Zheyue had no choice but to splash water on her. When she turned her head to avoid the water drops, Hua Zheyue jumped out of the bathtub and immediately put on her underwear.
Xiao Lian turned her head and saw that the man was already dressed, so she bullied her and came over. Hua Zheyue dodged and moved a few times in a row, so that Xiao Lian didn't touch him, and put on the clothes smoothly.
Xiao Lian looked at him wrongedly: "Husband, what are you doing?"
Hua Zheyue: "I'm getting dressed."
Xiao Lian walked towards him while talking: "Husband, Xiao Lian is not feeling well."
Hua Zheyue walked to the table, poured a glass of water and put it on the table: "Oh, drink more hot water."
At this time, the night is quiet, although Xiao Lian is a female ghost, but since she cultivated immortality, any monsters and ghosts will not be afraid as long as they show their appearance.
Xiao Lian was about to rush towards him again, Hua Zheyue walked away with the wind sideways, and sat on the bed with a limp, lifting his injured foot.
Now there is no medicine and can only be wiped with alcohol. Hua Zheyue limped to the kitchen to find the half jar of wine he found when cleaning the kitchen, poured a bowl back to the room and sat down on the bed again.
Taking off his shoes, Hua Zheyue lit the fire and put it in the wine bowl, and the blue flames shot up all of a sudden.
Seeing the fire burning in the bowl, Hua Zheyue immediately reached in and squeezed the wine while it was hot, and wiped the swollen ankle, looking forward to better tomorrow.
After lying down in the clothes, Xiao Lian suddenly appeared on the inner couch and rushed towards Hua Zheyue. Hua Zheyue was so shocked that she wrapped the quilt tightly and hid on the edge of the bed.
Xiao Lian was in vain, and Hua Zheyue also turned her back and ignored her. Before going to bed with her eyes closed, Hua Zheyue said warmly: "I will play the piano for you tomorrow."
In a daze, Hua Zheyue felt that someone was picking off his quilt, and then wrapped the quilt even more tightly. The person couldn't move it, and came to kiss his face again. Hua Zheyue subconsciously turned around and fell asleep face down, saying : "Hey, don't make trouble."
Hearing that, the man was quite obedient, he just grabbed his injured foot from the quilt under Hua Zheyue's feet and rubbed it with moderate strength, Hua Zheyue felt comfortable, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he murmured: "Xiao Lian is really good!" good."
Hearing that, the man froze for a moment.
******
In the early morning of the second day, Hua Zheyue opened his eyes. The spring sun had not yet risen. He got up and tidied up the quilt. He sat on the bed and rubbed his ankle subconsciously. He unexpectedly found that the pain was gone. He remembered helping him rub it last night. The person with the feet called softly, "Xiao Lian, are you there?"
Xiao Lian's voice came from the inner couch, and she immediately turned over, she didn't seem to wake up, she slurred her speech and said in a daze, "Uh...husband...what's the matter?"
Hua Zheyue turned to look at her, and saw that she seemed to be very sleepy, so she said softly: "It's okay, just sleep a little longer, and I'll cook."
Xiao Lian rubbed her eyes and yawned: "Thank you husband."
Hua Zheyue then went out to wash up by the well water in the backyard, only to see that lunatic changed from his lunatic appearance yesterday, and was cleanly dressed and cleaning the courtyard with a broom.
Hua Zheyue was novel and said hello: "Morning."
The lunatic raised his traumatized face, looked at Hua Zheyue with resentful eyes for a moment, and then buried himself in cleaning the courtyard.
Seeing that people ignored him, Hua Zheyue tactfully did not strike up a conversation, but smiled helplessly and went to the well to fetch water to wash.
After a while, Hua Zheyue washed up and was ready to go to the kitchen to make some porridge, and was planning to do something to earn some money to live on. At this moment, the lunatic who swept the floor suddenly asked: "You and Xiao Lian slept together?"
Hua Zheyue blurted out "Yeah": "Yeah, what's the matter."
After hearing this, the lunatic gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you also like Xiao Lian?"
Hua Zheyue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing when he came back to his senses, and replied: "As for me, I like a man now, don't worry, I didn't touch your little pity yesterday."
The lunatic didn't believe it: "Really?"
Hua Zheyue carried a bucket of water to the kitchen, and replied as he walked: "Can there be fake ones, hey, why aren't you crazy?"
Hua Zheyue walked into the kitchen, the man didn't speak any more, just silently cleaned the backyard and went to other places.
After making a fire and cooking porridge, Hua Zheyue carried a bowl to the lobby to look for the fake lunatic as usual. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw that the lobby had been cleaned by someone. After a while, the lunatic came out of the middle courtyard with a piano in his arms. .
He found that Hua Zheyue had been looking at him, raised his head, and said proudly: "This is my piano."
This piano was exactly what Hua Zheyue saw on the picture scroll that day, and she was very puzzled: "This piano?...You can't be Xiao Lian's genuine husband, right?"
Hearing this, the man's eyes dimmed, he put the piano aside, and said: "Xiao Lian's favorite song is "Mrs. Xiang", can you play it?"
Hua Zheyue shook her head.
The man fell silent, and came over to drink the porridge on the table, Hua Zheyue asked, "Did you pretend to be crazy yesterday?"
He shook his head: "No, I just don't know why I woke up early this morning."
Hua Zheyue: "Oh, brother, do you know where this place is?"
He said: "Qingzhou Xie Mansion, my home."
Hua Zheyue suddenly thought of something, so he pointed at his face and smiled: "This face of mine, could it be..."
The man immediately sneered: "It's mine, huh, can't you take it off? This human skin mask will melt into your flesh and blood if you don't take it off for a quarter of an hour. If Xiao Lian finds that you behave differently from me, you won't even know how to play the piano , this face will be torn off again."
"Hiss~" Hua Zheyue gasped, "So, I still have to know how to play "Mrs. Xiang"?"
"Of course, this song is not so easy to play. You need to be in love with the sound of the piano. Only when you are in love can Xiao Lian be moved, and she will believe that you are his real husband."
Hua Zheyue paused for a while, then asked, "Are you shameless?"
"........."
"I didn't mean that." Hua Zheyue smiled, "I just want to return this face to Xie Xie, can Xie Xie have a way?"
He didn't want to talk about this topic, so he drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls, went back to the piano and played the piano, and said while stroking, "I'll tell you the story of Mrs. Xiang."
"Mrs. Xiang is the wife of Lord Xiang. She and Lord Xiang guard the head and tail of the Xiangjiang River respectively. Those who love each other can't meet each other on the same river. They can only miss each other every day."
This song expresses the meaning of continuous lovesickness. Hua Zheyue listened to the notes with all his body, and was not affected by the weeping piano sound at all, and concentrated on memorizing the score.
At the end of the melody, Xie Wentai lowered his head and stood up for a long time, Hua Zheyue clapped his hands and applauded: "Brother Xie's piano skills are really good, I admire you."
Hearing this, Xie Wentai raised his head and looked at Hua Zheyue. His emotions had not recovered from the sound of the piano, and he stood up slowly after a while: "I haven't played the piano for a long time, you can try it."
Hua Zheyue smiled and shook his head: "The lovesickness expressed in this song is too strong. If I play it, I will definitely fall into it. I should wait for Xiao Lian to come and play it again. I don't want to suffer this misery again."
Xie Wentai was a little disbelieving: "Just listen to it once, and you can play it?"
Hua Zheyue smiled and nodded: "Well, I can barely remember it. Brother Xie's piano is really good."
Xie Wentai raised the corners of his mouth and said, "The one handed down from the ancestors is already No. 18 in my hands."
Hua Zheyue guessed right. Sure enough, it is because of the soul of the piano that the sound of this piano makes people so emotional. Hua Zheyue went over to touch the piano and nodded: "A piano that has been around for hundreds of years It can still be preserved so well."
Xie Wentai said: "Of course."
Hua Zheyue then asked: "Can Qingzhou still earn some money by playing the piano?"
Xie Wentai: "Qingzhou is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. There are monsters and ghosts coming in and out every night, and the refugees are making trouble everywhere. Now, even the troops to maintain the peace of Qingzhou will be transferred by the thirteen princes. How could anyone listen to this? The voice of Pu Shang."
Hearing what he said, it may indeed not work: "Then can I earn some money by selling calligraphy and paintings?"
Xie Wentai still shook his head, Hua Zheyue sighed: "Do you still have valuable things in Xie Mansion?"
He said: "Most of the valuable ones were robbed. Xiao Lian took some back later, but they were all unsalable."
Hua Zheyue continued to sigh: "Then I go hunting?"
"There is a demon on the mountain, are you sure?"
Hua Zheyue: "..."
Xie Wentai glanced at him: "There is still a lot of wine in the cellar, you can sell some, or you can try to sell some calligraphy, painting and piano art, but don't dream about leaving Qingzhou, Tianya Haijiao Xiaolian will also take you get back."
Hua Zheyue smiled and said: "I know, Brother Xie likes Xiao Lian so much, why are you not in a hurry?"
Xie Wentai smiled wryly: "What am I worrying about, I just want to be with her. If one day she can let go of her obsession with me and reincarnate, my life should be over."
Hua Zheyue: "Let go is easy to say, but how can it be so easy to do, and judging from the words of the beggars yesterday, Xiao Lian, has killed many innocent people?"
Xie Wentai was extremely calm: "15 years, ten."
After finishing speaking, he took his porridge bowl and went to the backyard. Hua Zheyue looked back at him, and then went to the room to find Xiao Lian.
It was already high in the sun at this time, and when he opened the door, the beam of light shot into the room, Hua Zheyue looked around, but he didn't find Xiao Lian, could it be that she was invisible again?
If Xiao Lian deliberately made him invisible to her, then it was her intention that Xie Wentai could see her on the street yesterday.
Hua Zheyue looked around for her, and finally saw her on the big tree in the yard.
Xie Wentai was sorting out the few gardenia trees that were not yet dead but had lost all their leaves in the central courtyard. She sat on the big tree that had lost all its leaves and looked at Xie Wentai in a white dress. Her white skirt was spread on the small branches. On the bed, the sun was shining all over the sky on the white paper umbrella she was holding.
She saw Hua Zheyue, her eyes turned from Xie Wentai to Hua Zheyue, and then she jumped down, and sweetly called out: "Husband~"
Hua Zheyue retreated a few steps subconsciously, even if he wanted to pick up someone else's wife, he couldn't pick it up in front of her.
On the contrary, Xie Wentai turned his head in surprise, saw his beloved fall from the tree, and ran over like flying.
He may have forgotten that she is a ghost and is not afraid of pain.
Or maybe he knew she wasn't afraid of pain, but he still had to pick her up, even if it was too late.
Hua Zheyue thought it was too late, but Xie Wentai took a leap to catch Xiao Lian, and the two faces that were so different from each other were also included in the frame.
Hua Zheyue smiled and said, "Congratulations."
