Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

When Lin Jiu came back with a large bowl of warm water, Jingzhi had already fallen asleep, but her thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her straight nose, and her slightly open mouth was opening and closing, and she was muttering something in a low voice.

Seeing that she looked like she had drunk fake wine, Lin Jiu felt a little headache.

I called her twice, but she didn't wake up. Instead, she laughed twice and called "Ajiu" several times.

This name, coming from a woman's mouth, was indeed too intimate, and it made Lin Jiu blush.

Wanting to finish feeding her as soon as possible, he gritted his teeth and murmured "excuse me". Then he held the water in one hand and put his other hand around her neck, holding her shoulders and supporting her upper body.

He didn't dare put his hands anywhere, but just kept them open, and simply used one side of his shoulder to support the back of her head.

As soon as he got closer, he smelled the sweet scent on her body again. Lin Jiu's heart was shocked. He quickly took out the Heart Purification Mantra from the depths of his mind and recited it silently over and over again.

He froze, but Jingzhi opened her eyes drowsily. She put her face close to his chest and twitched her nose twice like a puppy recognizing its owner.

As if confirming who was coming, she nodded with a wooden face and hummed twice:

"It's Ah Jiu. I had a long dream today."

Lin Jiu's heartbeat quickened at her soft voice. As if afraid that she would hear his heartbeat, Lin Jiu tilted her head to his upper arm, then put a large bowl against her lips and said softly as if coaxing a child:

"Drink the water and you won't feel dizzy anymore."

Jingzhi nodded obediently, but as if she was worried, she raised her hand and touched his mustache. After confirming that it was really Ah Jiu, she chuckled and said:

"Okay, Jiu fed me this, I want to drink it all."

He originally thought that she was unconscious and would make a fuss, but he didn't expect her to be so well behaved. Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly tilted the bowl.

Suddenly I heard the sound of her swallowing water.

goo-dong... goo-dong...

Very regular.

His heartbeat seemed to follow the sound of her swallowing, and his eyes moved downwards involuntarily.

The bowl of water was almost finished, and the edge of the bowl blocked most of her face, but Lin Jiu could still see her moist lips through the moonlight outside the window.

Warm, soft and sticky, with its unique sweetness.

When two of them touch each other, it seems like there is an electric current...

At this moment, a sudden and rapid cough was heard, and Lin Jiu suddenly regained his sanity. His eyes quickly focused on Jingzhi's face.

The moment he saw the situation clearly, he hurriedly wiped the water stains on the tip of her nose with his sleeve.

Seeing her coughing so hard that she seemed to be coughing out her lungs, Lin Jiu patted her back anxiously and apologized repeatedly:

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Jingzhi coughed for a long time and finally coughed out all the water she had choked on. Her face turned red from coughing. She said to Lin Jiu with some grievance:

"Ajiu... my nose isn't thirsty."

As if she was angry, she pouted her lower lip, pinched the corner of the quilt and glared at him.

At this moment, Jingzhi was in a daze and completely unaware of his situation.

Because she coughed so violently, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been severely bullied.

When she glared at Lin Jiu fiercely, not only was there no ferocity in her, but she exuded an indescribable temptation.

"Jingzhi..."

Lin Jiu seemed to be under a spell again and couldn't help but call out her name softly, not even knowing why he did that.

However, after the murmur came out, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly helped her lie down as if waking up from a dream, then took the small half bowl of water and fled out of her room in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Lin Jiu originally planned to go back to his room directly, but his two disappointing apprentices suddenly appeared in his mind.

These two people are like starving ghosts reincarnated tonight!

Most of the food she prepared for everyone ended up in the stomachs of the two of them.

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, turned around, and poured two full bowls of water, then carefully carried them into their room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the room, his heart, which had been beating rapidly due to shyness, began to beat even more violently.

Angry!

I saw his eldest disciple Qiu Sheng, who was like a monkey, holding the pillar and stroking it, calling Xiaoyu repeatedly, and even raised one foot to hook the pillar. The wooden pillar next to his mouth was covered with saliva marks from his kisses.

The second disciple, Wencai, hugged the woman tightly like a caterpillar pillow, wanting to strangle her to death, and also called out the woman's name.

But the one who called was Tingting.

Lin Jiu's forehead veins throbbed. He put down the bowl, slapped each of them on the back of the head, pinched the back of their necks, and forcefully poured the water in...

……

The result of each of the three being forced to drink a large bowl of water was—

Early the next morning:

"Get out of the way, let me go first!"

"I'll go first!"

Jingzhi covered her bulging belly with an embarrassed look on her face: "I have to pee!"

"Swish!" A feather duster snapped and hit Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's backs.

The two men held up their belts and stamped their feet. They turned back with anxious looks on their faces and saw Lin Jiu with a sullen face.

"Let her go first, what are you fighting for?"

Before he finished speaking, Jingzhi took a step forward and slammed the toilet door shut.

After she came out relaxed, Wencai and Qiu Sheng couldn't hold it anymore. They simply rushed into the bathroom together and started to pee without even closing the door.

"Hey, Jiu, why are you pulling me?"

Lin Jiu grabbed Jingzhi's sleeve and quickly pulled her to the front hall. When he saw that the two brats were no longer there, he quickly let her go. Then he stuck his head out and glared at the two shameless apprentices fiercely.

"Don't worry, I won't look around."

Her voice was so close...it seemed as if she was speaking into his ear.

Lin Jiu stretched his head, stiffened his neck, and stood frozen in place.

A second later, without looking back, he turned and went to the room where the spirit baby was kept.

He checked last night and found that the chicken soup had a faint yin energy. It must be the work of those spirit babies!

Seeing him walking away in a hurry, Jingzhi snorted softly.

She thought to herself:

Erdi's trick didn't work. Shouldn't Jiu turn around the next second, and then she could take the opportunity to kiss him?

As expected of Jiu, who has been eating more than ten years of rice, he is indeed cautious!

……

After breakfast, she suddenly remembered that Tingting gave her a package yesterday, so she went back to her room.

After entering the room, her eyes fell directly on the familiar cabinet. She remembered that she had put the package there.

She reached out and took it out. The soft feeling made her feel curious.

As the package slowly unfolded, the first thing that came into view was a letter.

Xin lay quietly on a few neatly stacked skirts. She glanced through them briefly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she muttered to herself, "Tingting, even her taste has changed. She actually likes Chinese-style skirts."

Then she picked up the envelope and gently opened it, only to see a folded piece of letter paper inside.

When she opened the letter, she found a smaller piece of paper sandwiched in the middle.

She stretched out her slender index finger, carefully inserted it into the gap in the paper, and gently lifted it. In an instant, her eyes widened as big as copper bells.

"Five... fifty dollars?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.

"What the hell is Tingting doing?"

Full of doubts, she could no longer suppress her curiosity and began to read the letter in her hand at a glance.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long while, she finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that the fifty-dollar promissory note was Tingting's reward to them, and these skirts were gifts specifically for her.

Thinking of this, a warm current surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but sigh:

Girls are really attentive and knew that she had no clothes to change.

However, she felt a little guilty about accepting the money.

After all, Tingting's father is dead, and his grandfather has turned into an urn of ashes. They said they want to move the grave, but Jiu hasn't had time to find a new burial site yet...

Thinking of this, Jingzhi took the letter paper and banknotes and went to find Lin Jiu.

As soon as she approached the room, she heard Lin Jiu's low scolding.

"Whoever did this, come forward, or I'll punish you all by starving you all of your incense for three days!"

"..."

No one in the house dared to answer, but the sound of a frightened little kid crying could be heard, sobbing and sobbing.

Jingzhi pushed the door open and went in. Lin Jiu heard the noise and turned back with a fierce expression on his face.

Jingzhi frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

She walked over, picked up the little kid who was sitting on the ground wiping his tears, rocked him, and coaxed him softly for a few words. Then she looked at Lin Jiu with disapproval and said, "They are pitiful enough, why are you so fierce?"

Lin Jiu was a little surprised, "What happened last night...you don't remember?"

Jingzhi blinked and thought for a while before slowly saying:

"I remember feeling a little sleepy and dizzy after dinner, and then... I bumped my knee... and then..."

Lin Jiu's heartbeat became faster and faster. "Then what?"

Jingzhi shook her head, "And then nothing happened."

"..."

He felt relieved, but at the same time, he suddenly felt a sense of loss.

"but……"

Lin Jiu's heart tightened, but his face remained calm and he still looked cold.

He paused for two seconds before asking, "...but what?"

Jingzhi's eyes suddenly became like a pool of autumn water, and she said softly to Lin Jiu:

"But I had a wonderful dream last night."

Jingzhi's mouth corners rose higher and higher. Last night, in her dream, Ajiu not only let her hug him, but she also kissed him!

"Oh, all right."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Jingzhi raised an eyebrow: "Don't you want to ask what the dream was?"

Lin Jiu's body stiffened, and there was a hint of unnoticeable panic in his voice: "No, no need, I don't want to know."

"……snort."

She took a step forward while holding the little kid who was playing with her hair, and asked while observing his expression:

"My knee... were you the one who bandaged it for me?"

Lin Jiuzang's hands clenched involuntarily behind his back, but he said slowly:

"Oh, it's not me, it's Qiu Sheng."

She looked at him for a long time, but couldn't make out any clues from his expressionless face, so she put down the little kid who had stopped crying, took out the letter and money from her pocket and handed them to him.

After Lin Jiu took it, he did not look at it immediately, but secretly glared at the spirit infants who were staring at them.

The timid ones had already transformed into a streak of light and quickly hid in their own statues. The brave ones came up behind Jingzhi, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and whispered:

"Sister, I don't want him to be my father. Uncle Jiu is so fierce."

"I don't want it either."

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and made up his mind in an instant.

Send away!

Send them all away!

After this busy period, I will ask Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to send all the spiritual infants on this wall to my junior sister!

"Why don't you go back?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy and the girl were frightened by Lin Jiu's dark face and turned around and disappeared in an instant.

"I told you not to scare them. Take a look at the letter. What should I do?"

Seeing that she was a little anxious, Lin Jiu put the matter of the spiritual baby aside and opened the letter to read.

After a long while, he said seriously:

"We still need to find a cemetery. When we get to town, I'll go to the bank and exchange this money for silver dollars and give you your share."

"How about... let's go today? I dug up some ginseng yesterday and I want to sell it. You know the town clinic better than I do, so how about coming with me?"

After all, Ajiu seems to be quite prestigious in the town. With him around, she won't be forced to lower the price when she wants to sell ginseng.

Lin Jiu was a little conflicted. In the charity cemetery, with Qiu Sheng and Wencai, two lively guys, the atmosphere couldn't be too awkward.

If two people go out, a single man and a single woman... isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Seeing him lowering his eyes and thinking for a long time about such a small thing, Jingzhi knew very well that he didn't want to go out with her alone.

She curled her lips, glanced at the two conspicuous bags behind him that were peeking through the door, and said unhappily:

"Then let's call Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to come along."

Wencai: “Great!”

Qiu Sheng covered his mouth tightly and whispered, "How stupid!"

Wencai glanced at his senior brother and silently complained in his heart, he was not stupid, he could go to the town and find Tingting!

Lin Jiu had no reason to refuse and could only nod in agreement.

He turned around and said to the two excited people:

"Take care of yourself these few days. Once you're well, come with me up the mountain to find a cemetery."

After all, the other party paid the money first, and Lin Jiu was not the kind of person who would start something and not finish it. Even if the old man Ren was burned to ashes, he would still find a Feng Shui-good place to bury him.

"Master! Then I'll take Wencai and go ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Sheng winked at Jingzhi mischievously, then quickly grabbed Wencai, who was still in a daze, and ran out of the room like a fly.

Jingzhi stretched her head and saw Qiu Sheng riding Wencai on his bicycle, pedaling so fast that smoke was coming out of his mouth. In a few seconds, he disappeared at the entrance of the yard.

Jingzhi turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Let's go."

"..."

You little bastard, you're running away now?

Then why did he take them both there? !

……

Lin Jiu is worthy of being a cultivator, he has good physical strength, and although he walks neither fast nor slow, his speed is quite fast. Fortunately, Jingzhi is not an ordinary person either, so the two of them walk side by side.

At this moment, Jingzhi suddenly thought of the trick Liang Zan taught Erdi in his previous life - persistence.

She secretly glanced at Lin Jiu who was half a meter away from her, and reached out her shaking hand to hook his sleeve.

Unexpectedly, she got nothing, and she looked down.

Tsk, I forgot Lin Jiu likes to roll up his sleeves.

unwise!

Then...if I just hold his hand, will he be angry?

Jingzhi swallowed his saliva, his voice a little loud, Lin Jiu looked sideways and asked:

"Thirsty? I brought a water bottle."

Jingzhi quickly retracted her gaze and her hand, "No, that's not necessary."

No, no matter what you say, what if he has already drunk from the kettle?

So she turned her head away, pretended to swallow her saliva and said, "Give it to me, I'm thirsty."

Lin Jiu lowered his left shoulder, put the backpack to his side, and took out two water bottles from it, one for her and one for himself.

After taking a sip, he saw that she didn't take it, so he raised the kettle and said, "Aren't you thirsty?"

Jingzhi suddenly hummed, said "I'm not thirsty anymore", and strode forward.

She plucked a piece of weed from the roadside to vent her anger. Seeing that the weed in her hand had two large rows of leaves, she inexplicably played that classic game in a childish way, muttering to herself:

“Like, dislike, like, dislike…”

Looking at the last piece of "Like" in her hand, the anger in her heart instantly dissipated.

So I slowed down and waited for him to come up.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu seemed to know what she was thinking. No matter how fast or slow she walked, he was always one step behind her.

Well, he discovered her intention, right?

Forget it, the old man is quite conservative, she can't go too far.

……
