A triumphant cat is more ferocious than a tiger, a plucked phoenix is no better than a chicken. You shrewd old fox, Jin Shanyao, waiting for the day... No, I haven't even finished speaking, why are you leaving already?
Lu Chi got up and caught up with Jin Shanyao in a few steps. He wanted to look down at her, but found that Jin Shanyao was about the same height as him.
Damn it... He's so tall and slender, like a tree, it's terribly ugly.
" Jin Shanyao, what do you mean?"
Jin Shanyao her lips, thinking that although Lu Chi wasn't very bright, he was still someone she had bought, and he had done his best to educate the child.
It's understandable that people want to hear more Jixiang words during the Lunar New Year.
Just then, Jin Shanyao mimicked a few lines of the poem. She glanced down and said with a sidelong look, "May your parents be healthy and their wishes come true, may your brothers have successful careers, and may your sisters be beautiful and generous."
This rhetoric, coupled with her unyielding head and Lu Chi's State of Mind, was absolutely brilliant...
Killing someone is just a matter of a head falling to the ground, but Jin Shanyao, I'll never let you get away with this.
The sound of heavy panting came from beside the Jin Shanyao.
She tilted her head and glanced sideways to see Lu Chi's expression, but didn't see it. She only caught a glimpse of his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly, and assumed he was too moved to speak. Jin Shanyao patted Lu Chi's shoulder affectionately.
"Silly child, you've never heard anything good before. If you still want to hear more, I'll go out and learn a couple more phrases."
After saying that, he tilted his head and walked forward. After taking less than three steps, he seemed to remember something and turned to Lu Chi.
"Go squat down in front of the shop. The book says that there's always trouble in front of a widow's door. Maybe there'll be something to watch."
Ever since she moved to the county, there has been no shortage of gossip around her.
They're basically saying that it's hard for her to find a husband with two children, and that the two children are actually hers, and that they had an affair without a matchmaker, which is why she claims they're her nephews.
Therefore, she specially bought a book, "The Romantic Scholar and the Charming Widow".
The female protagonist in the book, like her, is a single mother of two. She intended to focus on studying the book, but unexpectedly got stuck on the very first sentence.
Are there many gossips surrounding a widow's door?
In the dead of winter, coinciding with the Lunar New Year, there were almost no people seeking fortune telling or medical treatment, so although her shop was called a shop, it didn't make any profit at all.
After finishing her meal, she planned to squat by the door, hoping to find something interesting to watch.
Lu Chi's heart felt like it was tied to a rope, the other end of which was held Jin Shanyao's hand, which she shook desperately...
He doesn't ask Jin Shanyao to treat him kindly; all he asks now is for Jin Shanyao to treat him like a human being.
At the dinner table, Meng Anzhi fed Jin Shanyao dumplings. Don't ask why a child was feeding her.
Jin Shanyao thought the way she tilted her head while eating dumplings made her look mentally challenged.
Meng Anci held his chopsticks and kept looking at Jin Shanyao, his expression filled with indescribable emotion.
He had heard that his aunt, wanting to show off the wooden hairpin he had given her, refused to lower her head for a whole hour.
The wooden hairpin was firmly planted in the hair bun, while the ginkgo leaf stood tall in the air.
He saw it; the whole family saw it.
He's now afraid that his aunt will show off in the street, which will make him feel guilty for not buying her a silver hairpin.
No, we have to start with Shiyan.
After the meal, Jin Shanyao actually squatted down at the shop entrance, her hands tucked in her pockets, head tilted, and eyes squinting as she watched everyone who passed by.
Where is right and wrong?
Lu Chi couldn't bear to see her act foolishly, so he stepped forward and kicked her shoe. "Come inside. There's no trouble here. Don't read any more of those frivolous books."
Tsk... Jin Shanyao could glare at him without even looking up. "Can a book be wrong? Can a book with errors be written and sold? Being young just means being ignorant."
It's really not Jin Shanyao's fault. Ever since she gained spiritual intelligence, she has been reading books personally selected by Taishang Laojun, and every single one of them is useful and has benefited her greatly.
She didn't want to get too close to the idiot, so she hugged her knees, tilted her head to the side, and took two steps to the side.
Lu Chi was preoccupied and felt down, unable to find anyone to talk to, so he squatted down next to Jin Shanyao. But as soon as he squatted down, he met Jin Shanyao's squinting eyes.
He finally snapped, " Jin Shanyao, can't you straighten your head?"
Jin Shanyao her head vigorously, her expression so strained that it appeared somewhat ferocious.
Lu Chi couldn't see Jin Shanyao's inner struggle; he only thought she was humiliating him.
"Forget it, stop looking at me and look up at the sky instead."
Lu Chi lowered his eyes and stared at the ground. "Tell me, what would you do if your father wanted you dead?"
With Jin Shanyao against the falling snowflakes, she said calmly, "I have no father."
"Did you spring out of a crack in a rock?" Lu Chi's voice suddenly rose. He had noticed that Jin Shanyao acting crazy today, and every word he said was like a dagger to Lu Chi's throat.
Jin Shanyao surprised. How did he know that she came from a crack in the rock? She had used a lot of strength to sprout and break through the soil, only to find that a rock was pressing down on her.
Looking back now, it was just a small pebble, but at the time it felt as heavy as a boulder.
Lu Chi continued, "I'm dead. My father arranged my funeral."
"Have you received the gift money?"
"Is the Jin Shanyao the point? The point is that my father somehow got hold of a corpse and is saying it's me. Now everyone's saying I'm dead."
Jin Shanyao her dry eyes. "This world is strange. From my perspective, the world keeps turning even when you die; from your perspective, the world disappears when you die."
Lu Chi:...
Jin Shanyao her eyes, knowing that Lu Chi wouldn't understand. If Meng Anci didn't need her to finish speaking, he would have figured it out himself.
"You died just because your father said so? You care so much about your father's opinion, does your mother know?"
Lu Chi said sullenly, "My mother died after giving birth to me."
Jin Shanyao was completely speechless. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have congratulated you this morning."
Lu Chi looked up in surprise, not expecting Jin Shanyao to apologize to him. When did she become so humane?
Lu Chi took a deep breath. "Never mind, you wouldn't know anyway."
The two of them, one looking up at the sky and the other at the ground, squatted outside amidst the heavy snowfall.
" The Jin Shanyao makes my heart ache. I've never seen my mother since I was a child, my father doesn't like me, and my stepmother gave birth to another son for him. I feel like I'm superfluous."
His voice was low, and he stared down at the surface of his shoes. Two holes were burned into the snow, which was about the thickness of a thumb. He Jin Shanyao askew, so his emotions could not be seen.
I just felt that he was different from before.
Lu Chi gave a sarcastic smile. "I've been sickly since I was a child. I was born with one kind of poison, then another when I was five, another when I was seven, and another when I was fifteen. My early life has been nothing but beatings."
"Was it Master Zhao who came to see you yesterday?"
" Jin Shanyao, are you even listening to me?"
Lu Chi was furious. He was already so heartbroken, yet Jin Shanyao was still concerned about who Master Zhao had found.
Jin Shanyao patted his shoulder, deciding not to argue with him. "Remember, those who can't kill you will only make you stronger."
Oh, by the way, after they turned fifteen, did they still poison them?
Lu Chi took a deep breath. "After two years of peace, they sold me off and renamed Gouya."
She Jin Shanyao dry and fell silent. She rubbed her neck and muttered, "It's not good to keep chasing after troublemakers like this."
Try to think more positively about the child. The period between 1 and 100 years old is precisely the age when resentment is at its peak...
Hey, Gouya, where are you going? Not going to have a heart-to-heart talk? Why are you just leaving like that?
Undeterred, Jin Shanyao listened intently, and sure enough, there was no sound!
She squatted there for another hour, hands tucked in her sleeves, completely silent, with nothing to see or hear.
Jin Shanyao began to doubt the contents of the book for the first time.
