Zhao Luoyang didn't rush over. The two just stood there, looking at each other quietly. Mother Chen smiled and quietly left the yard.
A gust of wind blew by, and a few snowflakes seemed to have rolled in, gently brushing the scattered strands of green hair on her forehead.
Zhao Luoyang exposed the dimples on his cheeks and whispered in his mind: "Shi Jiu, look, he is smiling at me."
There is no response from the system.
Her heart beat faster.
"Shijiu."
Zhao Luoyang shouted again.
Still quiet.
Zhao Luoyang said: "Your face was blurry before, but now I can see it clearly."
Just now, Shi Jiu was still asking: "You can't wait so much? You may be the person who cares most about the money in the entire Taozhou City."
Look, you took the bait, right?
It's not that she can't wait, nor does she care about the money.
There was no silence for long this time, and a voice not far away sounded: "Did everything go well today?"
The voice clearly came from not far away, but it seemed to come from her mind.
Zhao Luoyang remembered the first time he came to Wangjiazhuangzi and saw the little mute who woke up. He kept talking to her, making her forget to talk to Shi Jiu.
So, he did it on purpose?
Another time, when she came to deliver food, Shi Jiu was not there either...
Once the suspicion is confirmed, all the unusual things in the past come to mind, and they all point to one result.
But why didn't Shi Jiu say it? Xiao Yu didn't remind him either. Was it because he didn't want to say it or there was another reason?
Zhao Luoyang thought in his mind and walked towards Xiao Yu. She couldn't ask now.
She didn't know how the system would react. She didn't know whether Xiao Yu's illness would get better or worse. After all, Shi Jiu had a health limit. If all health points were deducted, Shi Jiu would disappear. Did Xiao Yu
He won't wake up again?
Why did Xiao Yu and the system appear here, just to let her complete the task? Shi Jiu once said that after she completes the system task, Shi Jiu and the system will leave together.
Before, she thought that Shi Jiu would return to the world where the system was located, but now it seems that is not the case. Maybe after leaving the system, he can completely return to his body?
It stands to reason that since he was seriously injured and appeared in the system, the system should be here to help him, but why would the system appear in her mind again and ask her to complete the task?
Could it be because... he cannot be allowed to fully control the system?
Think about the various restrictions placed on Shi Jiu by the system. Only she can see the books and materials, and only she can control the benefits given by the system.
With such a result... maybe the system doesn't trust Xiao Yu?
Zhao Luoyang walked to the house and sat down.
Mother Chen brought hot tea and snacks, then stepped back and closed the door.
Zhao Luoyang looked at Xiao Yu: "Have you eaten?"
Xiao Yu did not respond: "What about you?"
Zhao Luoyang said: "I just ate at your place. The braised chicken is delicious. You can try it later."
After speaking, Zhao Luoyang realized again that he didn't know if there was any braised chicken left. What if he bought a little and gave it to her to eat?
Thinking like this, Zhao Luoyang thought that he still had a fruit candy, so he reached out and took it out and handed it to Xiao Yu: "Here you can eat the candy."
Xiao Yu reached out and took the candy in her hand. He was very familiar with the rice paper wrapped in the candy. She bought it on the street. The fruit candy exchanged from the system needed to be peeled out and wrapped.
Put the rice paper away and give it to the dolls so that no one will feel weird.
Now that the candy was in his hands, Xiao Yu's smile became more obvious: "Why did you think of giving me this?"
Maybe it was because Zhao Luoyang remembered that Mother Chen said that Xiao Yu usually woke up at night to deal with official duties. If this was the case, then he was working in the system during the day and returned to the body to be busy at night.
Zhao Luoyang said: "I came here in a hurry, so I didn't bring anything with me. By the way, there are also wild vegetable cakes, but they are not made with my milk."
Xiao Yu picked up the candy, pushed aside the rice paper outside, and put it in his mouth.
"Sweet," Xiao Yu rolled the candy in his mouth, then curled up the corners of his mouth, "delicious."
The sound of the caramel tapping his teeth was very clear. His eyes were also very clear, as if they contained a stream of moonlight.
Shi Jiu was with her every day. She would discuss many things with Shi Jiu, and Shi Jiu... would also talk to her without hesitation.
I didn't think it was anything before because Shi Jiu said it was an "anthropomorphic" setting.
She believed it, so sometimes she spoke quite freely.
Xiao Yu ate sweets, and her teeth were itchy and she wanted to grind them.
This account must be settled. Once everything is clarified, we can settle it with him.
Xiao Yu poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Luoyang. His hands had sharp joints and his whole body was very thin.
Zhao Luoyang sighed inwardly and talked about what happened in the city today as if he had discovered nothing.
"Later Mr. Xue came," Zhao Luoyang said, "I think Mr. Xie must have noticed something strange, but he had already shown the fish charm, and it was too late to regret it."
Having said this, Zhao Luoyang raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu: "Master Xue is very powerful. He killed Zhu Youqing in just a moment. Were you like this before?"
Xiao Yu shook his head: "Every time I see Xue Ding, he always wants to have a fight with me, but he loses every time."
Xiao Yu said and patted his leg gently: "It's a pity that I don't have the strength to ride a horse now, otherwise there is no need to call Xue Ding for today's matter."
Compared with Xue Ding, Xiao Yu looks much thinner.
"You're not lying?" Zhao Luoyang said, "In the past, you couldn't even cross a river without falling, and you almost lost your shoes."
Xiao Yu's smile did not change, but the gaze in his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking of the past. Where he was wrestling, he was clearly trying to help her.
Although the facts were different from what she said, he did not argue: "When I get better, I will fight with Xue Ding and let you see."
Zhao Luoyang responded: "Okay, then hurry up."
She got up and walked to the couch, picked up the blanket he usually covered with, walked back and covered his legs.
Xiao Yu obviously didn't expect her to be like this. The little Hui Hui was very kind to him tonight. Could it be because... she wanted to ask for money from him?
"It's done," Zhao Luoyang said, "so as not to cause trouble to Mother Chen."
Under the light, Xiao Yu's expression looked particularly obedient, as if he would agree to whatever she said.
After a moment, Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay."
Zhao Luoyang sat down again, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Xiao Yu: "These are the farm tools we want. We have no iron or money to buy them."
"Most of the money collected from those people will be used to make farm tools," Xiao Yu said. "Zhao Jingyun will also submit a memorial asking the court to provide some grain and seed relief."
Zhao Luoyang showed a happy smile on his face.
Xiao Yu picked up the paper she gave her and looked at it carefully: "Spring plowing in Taozhou is very important, and food is needed to raise soldiers. Can we make more farm tools according to your drawing?"
Xiao Yu said that he would open up wasteland in Taozhou.
Zhao Luoyang nodded happily: "Okay, but... we can't afford the money to make farm tools. We can offset it with grain during the autumn harvest."
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I'll listen to you."
After the farm tools were settled, Zhao Luoyang said: "Then... will the court reward us for our efforts this time?"
Although Shi Jiu is a little mute, he still has to figure things out.
