Chapter 42 Looking up at the moon and thinking about my hometown
The yard is not big, there is only one entrance, a small hall, two side rooms, and a small kitchen.
Some pickles were drying in the yard, and Kong Wei was rolling out dough just now. There were palm-sized pieces of dough piled on the table, and she didn't know what she was preparing to eat.
Kong Wei saw that Zhang Sui was dressed gorgeously and looked a little embarrassed. After leading the two of them into the small hall, she quickly went to pour tea.
Lao Lu looked around and saw that this was a very ordinary civilian home, but it was neatly cleaned and decorated.
On the door curtain of one of the small rooms, there are several small snow rabbits carved from wood. Although the carvings are very rough, it can be seen that the owner likes them very much and hangs them neatly with a few colorful threads.
Kong Wei came out of the room with two cups of tea and saw Lao Lu looking at the little snow rabbits with a sad expression.
Kong Wei brought the tea to the two of them, and they quickly took it.
After the three of them sat down, Kong Wei asked: "I wonder if you two have something to do here today?"
Lao Lu hesitated and said, "Today Zhang Sui and I went to pay homage to Brother Kong's tomb."
Kong Wei nodded and said: "You two are interested."
Lao Lu shook his head and sighed: "Maybe Dong Zhi didn't tell you that your brother died to save me."
When Kong Wei heard this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, like pearls that couldn't stop falling.
Zhang Sui looked into her eyes and felt a throbbing in his heart. Pity arose spontaneously in his heart, and he even had the idea that he could do anything for her.
Suddenly, Zhang Sui felt his fingertips heat up, and a stream of clear energy went straight into his mind. He suddenly woke up, and Zhang Sui felt horrified. What was going on?!
The emotion in Kong Wei's eyes can actually affect others? Zhang Sui felt it carefully and found no trace of the Qingling Qi or the power of calamity on her body.
It seems that this may be Kong Wei's innate ability, and the resurgence of the supernatural power in this world has strengthened the ability of her eyes.
Kong Wei was sad for a while, holding back the pain in her heart, and said: "I don't blame Senior Lu. If you didn't take action, my brother and the others might have been killed by those barbarians, but now his death is more meaningful.
.My brother often said that a general will inevitably die in battle. Although he is not a general, he has a dream of being a general. If he dies trying to save you, just think of him as realizing his own dream of being a general!"
Even so, the grief in my heart is difficult to relieve.
Lao Lu was extremely surprised when he saw Kong Wei's attitude. He had already thought about many situations he would face, but none of them happened, but he was forgiven by the family of the deceased.
Lao Lu couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Zhang Sui didn't know how to comfort the sad Kong Wei. He could only say softly: "Lao Lu and I are here this time. Firstly, we want to visit you, and secondly, we want you to move out of Iyi Fang. We will arrange it for you in Ruyi Fang."
I wonder if you have any ideas about a place to live and about livelihood. You can tell us. As long as we can do it, we will definitely not delay it."
Kong Wei shook her head and said: "It doesn't have to be like that. I live a very good life here. I am surrounded by old neighbors who have lived together for many years. They all take care of each other. Moreover, I have my own things to do and make a living.
I’m not worried about that either, you two don’t have to worry too much about me.”
Zhang Sui and Lao Lu didn't know what to say when they heard this. If they had requests, it would be okay to say so. What they fear the most are those who have no desires or requests. They don't even have a chance to help.
Zhang Sui thought for a while, took out three jujubes from his sleeves, put them on the table in front of Kong Wei, and said to Kong Wei: "In this case, we can't force you. Keep these three jujubes.
It should be of some use to you. If you encounter something difficult to solve, you can come to Zhang Mansion in Ruyifang to find me, or go directly to Qingyi Mansion and tell me Zhang Sui's name, and I will definitely help you."
When Lao Lu saw Zhang Sui giving jujubes to Kong Wei, he looked a little worried, mainly because he was worried that the jujubes would bring trouble to Kong Wei. He hesitated and said, "Miss Kong had better eat these jujubes now.
To avoid any trouble later."
Zhang Sui glanced at Lao Lu, who nodded to him.
Zhang Sui looked at Kong Wei and said, "What Lao Lu said makes sense. Why don't you eat these three jujubes while we are here?"
Kong Wei was very puzzled. She didn't know why the two of them were acting like this, but she also knew that there must be something extraordinary about the jujube. It wasn't that she suspected that the two were bad for her, but she was just curious why the two of them attached so much importance to the jujube?
Kong Wei picked up the jujube and saw both of them staring at her, a little shy, so she turned sideways, lowered her head and took a bite of the jujube in her hand.
When the jujube was introduced, Kong Wei's face turned rosy. She didn't know whether it was due to shyness or the clear spirit in the jujube. The smell of the jujube made Kong Wei's eyes light up obviously, and she could see that she was interested in it.
I was very satisfied with the taste of jujubes, and soon I had one jujube in my stomach. Kong Wei had an unfinished expression on her face.
Zhang Sui observed her eyes carefully and found that they were brighter than before, and the emotions emanating from them were more contagious.
Zhang Sui exclaimed in his heart: "Good guy, this girl was born for this era of spiritual energy recovery. She just simply ate something containing spiritual energy, and her abilities improved so quickly. It's much better than my time-traveling...
The person is more like a time traveler! Could this be the legendary son of the plane?"
In the end, Zhang Sui and Lao Lu did not persuade Kong Wei to change her mind.
He had no choice but to leave after watching her eat the jujube. Before leaving, Lao Lu repeatedly emphasized that he must go to them if he encounters any problems.
Seeing their sincere attitude, Kong Wei sincerely nodded and accepted their kindness.
Zhang Sui couldn't help but told Kong Wei: "Little sister Kong, when you talk to others in the future, try not to stare into other people's eyes, or don't have too many emotions in your eyes. You should also feel that you are different from ordinary people."
Bar?"
When Kong Wei heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and thought about Zhang Sui's words carefully, thinking deeply in her heart. But she quickly came to her senses and looked at Zhang Sui and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Sui nodded, greeted Lao Lu, and walked towards the carriage outside the door together.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a group of people outside the door. They were all dressed in simple clothes. I knew at a glance that they were people living in Jieyifang.
One of them, a man about forty years old, was holding a pole in his hand. When he saw the three people coming out of the courtyard, he glanced at Zhang Sui and Lao Lu, and asked Kong Wei in a loud voice: "Xiaowei, are there guests at home?"
Zhang Sui could tell that these people were worried about Kong Wei. After all, two strange men were visiting a single woman, and they were in a place with poor public security like Minyi Square, so they were inevitably worried about Kong Wei.
Kong Wei stepped forward and explained: "Uncle Wang, these two were my brother's friends during his lifetime. They came to visit me after paying homage to my brother today."
Then Uncle Wang relaxed, and everyone around him also breathed a sigh of relief. The uncle waved to the people around him and said: "It's gone, it's gone, it's okay, it's Kong Wei who has a guest."
The people around him then left with various tools in their hands. Uncle Wang also greeted Kong Wei and said, "If you need anything, just say hello. I'll leave first."
Kong Wei nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui believed Kong Wei's words that neighbors would take care of each other.
So he and Lao Lu got in the car and headed home.
When I returned home, I heard Fang Xiong's laughter and Zhang Xin's chirping voice before I even entered the door.
With a smile on his face, Zhang Sui opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
I saw Fang Xiong standing in the courtyard wearing black armor. Fang Xiong was already very dark, but after putting on that black armor, he looked like a black bear.
Zhang Xin was circling around him, tapping his armor from time to time and asking Fang Xiong how he felt.
Fang Xiong just laughed and said something like "very good, very good".
When the two of them saw Zhang Sui coming back, Zhang Xin left Fang Xiong behind and rushed over. When he came closer, he took Zhang Sui's arm and said happily: "Second brother, please see if there are any changes in me."
Then he let go of Zhang Sui's arm and turned around in front of him.
Zhang Sui took a closer look and saw that Zhang Xin's face was much rosier than the previous few days, and the strangest thing was that her withered and yellow hair had now become somewhat shiny and was turning into black hair.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "I can see it, she is much more beautiful than the past few days."
Zhang Xin nodded repeatedly and said, "My mother said the same thing. My mother said this was all due to the food my second brother prepared for me."
Zhang Sui asked in surprise: "Is the effect so obvious?" He then thought: "This is a world of immortals, so it makes sense if the effect is faster!"
Zhang Xin said with a smile: "Yesterday, the chef at home made several portions of the purple spores and the jade clams. My mother and others tasted them and found them hard to swallow. But I tasted them and found them delicious.
Incomparably, after finishing his own portion, he also ate all theirs. It was so delicious!" Zhang Xin still looked like she was still unsatisfied.
Zhang Sui asked: "You don't feel any discomfort in your body, do you?"
Zhang Xin said excitedly: "I feel great. I have never felt this good before. Even my strength feels much stronger."
Zhang Sui looked at the energetic Zhang Xin and felt extremely happy.
Although the original Zhang Xin was lively and chattering all day long, Zhang Sui could see that she also had extremely low self-esteem about her appearance and appearance. She just didn't show it in front of outsiders.
We can know from memory that Zhang Sui often took Zhang Xin out to play with the children of the aristocratic families. Those guys would inevitably laugh at Zhang Xin and call her a yellow-haired girl.
Because of this, Zhang Sui often had conflicts with the children of other aristocratic families. After doing this several times, Zhang Xin was no longer willing to follow Zhang Sui to play with those children of the aristocratic families.
At that time, Zhang Sui actually understood Zhang Xin's feelings.
After the adult Zhang Sui traveled through time, he understood Zhang Xin's psychology even more, so Zhang Sui also deliberately guided Zhang Xin and actively looked for ways to solve Zhang Xin's physical problems. Now he has seen the dawn of a solution to the problem.
, Zhang Sui was also happy for Zhang Xin.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Zhang Xin: "Since you know that eating those things is good for you, you should eat more. Please ask Shopkeeper Fang of the Huang Family Seafood Shop to collect those things, which should be very good for your body.
If you find it by then, maybe your body will be the same as that of a normal person, and you will eventually turn into a beautiful girl! Then my second brother won’t have to worry about you not being able to get married, haha!”
When Zhang Xin heard this, she went up and gave him a shameful iron fist.
Zhang Sui protected his hair, laughed and let Zhang Xin perform a whole set of boxing techniques on him.
Fang Xiong looked at the two brothers and sisters, smiling silly.
After Zhang Xin finally let go of Zhang Sui, Zhang Sui walked to Fang Xiong and tapped the armor on his chest with his hand. The armor made a dull buzzing sound. It seemed to be of good quality and extremely exquisitely designed.
Even the joints are connected with soft locks, which will not affect people's activities.
After setting up the carriage, Lao Lu also came to the courtyard. When he saw the black armor on Fang Xiong, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward to take a closer look.
He made a tsk-tsk sound in his mouth and said: "Good boy, that green-clothed guard is quite willing to give up. This set of black tortoise armor is not something that everyone can wear. When I was in the army, I was only the commander of the first level.
He may be rewarded, but with Fang Xiong's size and strength, if he puts on a mask and rushes into the crowd, he will be a murderous weapon in the world!"
Zhang Xin pouted at the side and complained: "Who picked this name? What is it called turtle shell? It's so ugly, it's better to call it black bear shell."
Fang Xiong said angrily: "Miss likes to hear about black bear armor, so from now on this armor will be called black bear armor."
Zhang Xin beamed when she heard this, patted Fang Xiong on the arm, and said with a smile: "Then I will grant you the title of Commander of the Black Bear Army, and from now on you will lead your Black Bear Army to protect this lady. But for the time being, you are the only one in the Black Bear Army.
!”
Fang Xiong was also very sensible. He stepped forward and beat his chest with his right hand, making a banging sound. He responded in a deep voice: "Fang Xiong, commander of the Black Army, listen to your orders!"
Zhang Xin looked at his serious look and laughed.
Zhang Xin played at Zhang Sui's place until the sunset, and then reluctantly followed the maid to prepare to return to Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Sui was worried about them, so he asked Fang Xiong to escort them back to Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Xin jumped up and down when she went out and almost tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Fang Xiong on the side stretched out his hand in time to support her, so that Zhang Xin didn't fall on her face. However, some snacks she was holding in her hand were scattered all over the place.
land.
Zhang Xin looked at the food scattered on the floor, her mouth pouting.
Fang Xiong saw a small purse on the ground and quickly picked it up and handed it to Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin looked disgusted and waved her hand away. Fang Xiong had no choice but to put the small purse into his sleeve.
Zhang Sui saw Zhang Xin almost falling down and wanted to go over and see what happened.
Seeing that Zhang Sui was coming, Zhang Xin quickly shouted to stop her, pulled Fang Xiong and ran out. She probably didn't want Zhang Sui to see her in embarrassment, so as not to be laughed at by her second brother again.
Zhang Sui couldn't help but smile when he saw her lively figure.
Zhang Sui stood at the door for a moment. Seeing them walking away, he turned around and returned to his courtyard.
It was already dark now, and the jujube tree in Zhang Sui's courtyard was gently swaying its branches and leaves with the breeze.
The refreshing fragrance exuded by those jujube flowers was gently carried by the night wind and spread everywhere in the courtyard.
The moonlight was very beautiful today. Zhang Sui looked at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly a feeling of homesickness rose uncontrollably in his heart.
After coming to this world, he has been deliberately avoiding missing his parents in the original world. Occasionally thinking about them makes him feel confused and inexplicably sad.
He kept tossing to avoid the emotion of missing his parents, but now when he saw the bright moon, the suppressed emotions in his heart could no longer be controlled.
Zhang Sui held the jujube tree with one hand and covered his eyes with the other. Tears could not stop falling from his eyes. Zhang Sui always felt that he was an extremely ordinary mortal. He could not kill decisively or cut off the past.
Emotional connection.
In the dead of night, Zhang Sui often woke up from his dreams because he dreamed of his old father, his mother's sad eyes, and even the unserious librarian.
It is really hard for Zhang Sui to imagine the mentality of those people in those novels who never mention their parents after time travel, or who cut off the previous contact with a few understatement. Anyway, Zhang Sui himself is
It can't be done.
As Zhang Sui cried silently, the jujube tree he was holding on seemed to be able to feel Zhang Sui's emotions. When the breeze stopped, the branches and leaves of the jujube tree began to sway gently.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui felt relieved, wiped the tears from his face, and gently stroked the tree trunk.
It was as if he was talking to himself or saying to the jujube tree: "We are all people who have left our hometown. I have left my world, and you have also left the land where you were born and raised. We are all in the same boat."
As for why the jujube tree left the land where it grew, Zhang Sui simply ignored it.
Zhang Sui suddenly mobilized the pure energy in his body and poured it directly into the trunk of the jujube tree, causing the jujube tree to tremble slightly.
With the continuous input of Qingling Qi, the jujube flowers on the jujube tree began to wither, and small dates were slowly produced at a speed visible to the naked eye. After Zhang Sui had instilled all the Qingling Qi in his body, those jujubes
The jujube has grown to the size of a thumb.
Zhang Sui felt an emptiness in his body. He took a long breath and let go of his hand holding the jujube tree. He took a step back and said to the jujube tree: "I picked all your jujubes, and now I will give some of them back to you. Find the right ones."
When the time comes, I will pay you back everything I owe you!"
The branches and leaves of the jujube tree swayed gently, as if they could understand Zhang Sui's words.
After this, Zhang Sui's emotions gradually calmed down. Zhang Sui smiled softly, patted the jujube tree, and returned to his bedroom.
