Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

At the dinner table, Qiu Sheng and Wencai slurped their porridge, their eyes peeked out from over the rim of their bowls, stealthily glancing at Jingzhi and Lin Jiu at the next table.

The master seemed to have regained his soul, and all his energy and spirit were back.

It was the look in his eyes that he glanced at Jingzhi inadvertently, so gentle that it was hard for them to swallow.

Is this still their serious and old-fashioned master who would beat or scold them at the slightest provocation?

It seems that the Michelin incident is over, right?

Jingzhi was excitedly asking about the Simu Pond.

"Master, where is the pond? Is it big? Is the water deep?"

Four eyes widened in anger as they stared intently at Master Ikkyu who sat across from him. His large hands pinched the corner of the table until his knuckles turned white. "...We'll talk about the pond later. What are you doing here again?!"

Ikkyu calmly put down his bowl and chopsticks, rolled up his sleeves, and pointed at the dried radish on the table. "Jingjing made some pickles. I'll bring them over for you to try."

As he spoke, his eyes immediately turned to Lin Jiu and Jing Zhi next door, and the light in his eyes instantly brightened.

He smiled faintly, "You two seem to have a connection with Buddha. Would you like to join us for morning prayers later?"

Ikkyu: The golden light of merit from these two people was brighter than anything he had ever seen. He had been practicing Buddhism for most of his life, but it was not even as bright as theirs.

It is true that there is always someone better than you.

For a moment, Lin Jiu turned to look at Jingzhi, who turned to look at Simu, who raised his chin proudly and looked at Ikkiu:

"Ha! What are they doing for morning prayers? They both believe in Taoism. You take your shabby pickles and go back to beat your shabby wooden fish!"

Lin Jiu used a little strength and threw the spoon back into the bowl with a "clang".

His brows furrowed slightly, "A guest is a guest, Junior Brother."

Jingzhi looked at Master Ikkyu's smiling face, still calm and composed, and couldn't help but be amazed. He really was worthy of being a Buddhist.

Taoist Simu was about to slap him in the face, but he remained calm.

Jingzhi turned around and glanced at the four eyes that were being looked at by Lin Jiuxun.

I saw his face flushed red, and he looked embarrassed, so I quickly gave him a way out:

"Master, it's more fun with more people... Eat quickly, and then tell me where the pond is so we can go fishing!"

Simu stiffened his neck, hesitated for a long time, glared at Ikyu fiercely, and then said reluctantly:

"I just finished driving corpses. I carried you back the day before yesterday. I'm exhausted. I won't go. Let Jiale take you there later."

you?

Sister Jingzhi is going alone?

Qiu Sheng and Wencai at the next table immediately disagreed and turned their heads away one after another.

Qiu Sheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, acted coyly, and shook Lin Jiu's sleeves in a coquettish manner:

"Master, I want to go too. We finally get out here, so please let us relax a bit."

Lin Jiu's face turned livid in an instant. Before he could attack Qiu Sheng, Wencai quickly echoed:

"Me, and me, I want to go too!"

"Pfft!"

Jingzhi covered her mouth and looked at Qiu Sheng and Wencai with great joy.

"Wencai, are you sure you can go into the water? There are so many holes in your body that you can use them to net fish. I'm afraid that after you finish drinking the porridge, it will leak out of the gauze."

Wencai glanced at his master's face, shrank his neck, and in his heart he really wanted to go out and play, so he said with a stiff upper lip: "Then, then I'll stand on the shore."

Lin Jiu's face was puzzled, so Wencai quickly made up another excuse, "Master, I'll get some sun to get rid of the corpse qi."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, until it was as thin as a mosquito's whisper.

Because Lin Jiu's face gradually darkened.

Lin Jiu's silence is the biggest deterrent to his two disciples.

They were both silent, and at the same time, they looked at Jingzhi eagerly.

Jing Yi choked and glanced at Lin Jiu, "You..."

Lin Jiu: "I'll go too."

"..."

He lowered his eyes, drank his porridge, and explained seriously:

"I'll pick some pomelo leaves for him to bathe in."

Jingzhi's eyes rolled and glanced at his earlobe which was slightly bloody, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"Then go."

After he faced his feelings, he became just like Erdi in his previous life, just as clingy.

What’s a little different is that Erdi loves to act coquettishly and tease her.

Lin Jiu was like a ghost behind her, without saying a word, he followed her closely for the whole morning.

Wencai: “Great!”

Qiu Sheng started to make noises: "Oh~~"

The blood color on Lin Jiu's earlobe became darker and darker, but his face remained expressionless and he lowered his brows.

"You and Jingzhi go first. I'll follow after I change Wencai's medicine."

Qiu Sheng couldn't wait to go there. He drank his porridge in a few gulps, turned his butt out, and waited at the next table with his legs crossed.

Jingzhi turned to look at the only two women in the room, "Are you Jingjing? Do you want to go out for a walk together?"

Jingjing's eyes lit up, she bit the end of her chopsticks and looked at Ikkiu, saying hesitantly:

"But my master doesn't eat meat, and he can't eat fish either."

Jingzhi opened her mouth slightly and was about to speak, but Yixiu smiled and waved at her, "Go ahead if you want to go, and come back early. We just moved, and there are still many places to clean up."

Jingjing was very happy and responded with a "yes", then winked at Jingzhi mischievously.

Jingzhi smiled at her gently.

She is a lively girl, and I think Zhe Gu should be able to get along with her.

Jingjing is an orphan with a boyish personality. No female friend has ever smiled at her so gently.

Two blushes instantly appeared on her round cheeks. She glanced at Jingyi with her big eyes, then quickly lowered her gaze, and the soup spoon in her hand scraped the bottom of the bowl with a crackling sound.

Jingzhi smiled, lowered her head and silently quickened her eating pace. It was true that although the yam porridge was a little cold, Jiale made it really well.

Just as she was enjoying her meal, a pair of chopsticks picked up some vegetables and put them into her bowl.

Jingzhi looked up and happened to see Lin Jiu's hand which he had not yet withdrawn.

Lin Jiu quickly retracted his hand, and after a few seconds, he said:

"Eat more vegetables."

Jingzhi stared at the slightly wet chopsticks in his hand for a few seconds, and saw his fingers tremble. He put down the chopsticks and buried his head in drinking the porridge.

Jingzhi picked up the food in the bowl and ate it silently. When she finished eating, she realized that he seemed to have used the chopsticks.

Tsk, it's so subtle, I don't know who he looks like.

Lin Jiu didn't think too much about it. Seeing that she was willing to eat the food he picked for her, his expression eased a lot.

When re-bandaging Wencai, he was much gentler, which made Wencai look at him sideways frequently.

"Master, hurry up, they have gone a long way."

"..."

Lin Jiuyi pursed his lips, quickened his movements, and tightened the gauze a little more forcefully.

Wencai looked at him aggrievedly: "...It hurts, it hurts, I, I won't say anything more."

Lin Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "It's good that you know it hurts. Let's go."

……

Without waiting for Wencai to put on his clothes, Lin Jiu picked up the backpack handed to him by Simu and quickly caught up with him.

Simu put his hand on Wencai's shoulder, looked at Lin Jiu's brisk steps from behind, and said with a smile:

"Hey, you're walking so fast, are you afraid your future wife will run away with someone?"

Wencai: "Uncle Master, please let me go. I need to go quickly. I don't know the way."

Simu clicked his tongue, kicked Wencai, turned around and snorted, then went back to sleep.

……

Qiu Sheng and Jia Le ran away arm in arm, arm in arm.

Leaving behind two girls walking slowly.

Jingzhi was originally chatting and laughing with Jingjing, walking one in front and one behind on a narrow ridge of a field. As they were crossing a rice field, they suddenly heard a slight rustling sound behind them.

I only heard Jingjing utter a sound, and a familiar male voice suddenly rang out:

"Remember to watch your steps when you walk."

Jingzhi looked back and saw that Lin Jiu was holding a water snake with two fingers, and the snake's body was hanging in the air and twisting constantly.

Jingjing turned sideways and exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, Master Lin, your hands are so fast, I didn't even feel it."

Lin Jiu threw the snake far away, and when she turned sideways, he took a big step and walked directly past her and behind Jingzhi.

Girls like to be close to each other, and Jingjing is only one person's length away from Jingzhi.

When Lin Jiu took a step forward, his entire body almost touched Jingzhi's back.

Jingzhi only felt his hot body temperature and the faint scent of sandalwood coming from behind her, and her face turned red in an instant.

She took a few quick steps, moving a little further away from him.

Lin Jiu didn't say anything, just followed closely.

When they had walked through two acres of rice fields and came to a wider path, she suddenly slowed down and wanted to ask him to move to the side.

The next second, Lin Jiu stepped on her heel.

Jingzhi's body moved forward by inertia, and she was about to hit the ground headfirst. Lin Jiu reached out and tried to hold her waist to steady her.

Before his hand touched her waist, Jingzhi quickly bent down, supported himself with one hand, did a side flip, and stood on one foot on the side of the road.

She held out her hand, "Give me back my shoes."

Lin Jiu felt a little disappointed, but he still obediently picked up the shoes and patted his footprints before putting them under her feet.

The hand she stretched out had just touched the ground and was covered in dust. Lin Jiu took out a handkerchief and gently brushed it away.

His movements were so light that Jingzhi even wondered if he was teasing her.

But seeing his serious look, she quickly gave up the idea.

She just quickly withdrew her hand, clenched it gently, and waited until the itch in her palm disappeared before she bent down to put on her shoes.

Jingzhi reached out to Lin Jiu again: "Give it to me."

Lin Jiu: "...give what?"

Jingzhi pointed at the handkerchief he stuffed into his arms and said, "It's dirty. I'll wash it by the sink later."

For a moment, Lin Jiu didn't want to give her the handkerchief.

After washing, is she going to take it back?

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jingzhi gritted her teeth, grabbed his collar, and reached into his slanted lapel to search for the handkerchief.

The weather was hot, and Lin Jiu was wearing only the robe she had given him and a thin inner garment.

When she stretched out her hand, it seemed as if she was caressing his chest through the layer of cloth.

Lin Jiu's face turned red instantly, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and he quickly pressed down Jingzhi's still moving wrist.

"Jingzhi..."

"Why, lately you can only call names and can't speak?"

"No, I'll just give it to you."

Because they were close, his voice was very soft and slightly hoarse, causing his chest to vibrate. Jingzhi only felt a slight numbness in his fingertips.

He quickly pulled his hand out and pinched his fingertips with his other hand.

Lin Jiu finally gave her the handkerchief.

When we reached the pond, we saw Qiu Sheng and Jia Le competing with each other. Instead of catching fish, they climbed high up and jumped into the pond from halfway up the hill.

The splashes of water were bigger than each other.

As expected, she is still young and she doesn’t have the leisure time to play now.

I just sat on the big rock by the pond with Jingjing, took off my shoes and socks, and soaked my feet in the cool water.

Jingzhi: "Don't you want to go and have some fun?"

Jingjing's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"
