I do beauty in Jianghu

In the evening, when Qi Ming was still a few steps away from the small courtyard, he could smell the aroma of vegetables wafting from the courtyard.

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows and walked into the yard.

Bai Muxi happened to serve the last plate of stir-fried mustard greens on the table.

Next, we will have a full vegetarian feast, and Bai Muxi, who loves meat, feels uncomfortable thinking about it.

Qi Ming walked in slowly, seeing Bai Muxi greeted him to take a seat with his usual expression, he couldn't help a little admiration.

"You still have the mood to cook."

He was about to faint from seeing it before, after he finished speaking, his eyes caught Bai Muxi's red forehead, he was slightly startled, and then turned back to look at the peach tree in the yard.

Are you still alive?

Not long ago, Bai Muxi, who had hit his forehead against a tree and wanted to die, was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Oh, what are you looking at, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while."

As he took his seat, he explained to himself: "I'm not a child, how can I jump into a well because of such a thing? If you lose it, you lose it. If you lose it, you make it again. My life can be restarted at any time. I take small setbacks and tribulations as a routine—"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Ming threw the money bag at his waist on the table with a "crash".

Bai Muxi's voice stopped abruptly.

The familiar money bag came into view, and Bai Muxi's mind went blank.

Qi Ming sat down as if nothing had happened, and picked up his chopsticks.

Bai Muxi looked at him, then at the money bag, and poked the money bag carefully with his finger.

hard.

Bai Muxi was at a loss: "What?"

Qi Ming ignored him, took two mouthfuls of food, and thought it was more delicious than the restaurant in the daytime. If the cooking skills are not good, it is better to focus on light food, or put more peppers.

Bai Muxi sat upright, took the money bag over in a daze, opened it, and found a bag full of broken silver.

Bai Muxi was dumbfounded.

After a while, Bai Muxi asked cautiously, "You...you went to find them?"

Qi Ming said lightly: "Otherwise?"

Holding the silver in his hands, Bai Muxi felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He thought that the money was lost, and the result of his hard work for so long was nothing. He sat on the stone outside to comfort himself for a long time before he was forced to accept this helpless result.

Anyway, it was not once or twice that he was stolen or robbed. Although the amount was unprecedentedly large this time, he should get used to it, so after desperately suppressing his emotions, he realized that Qi Ming didn't eat anything at noon, so he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for him .

Although Bai Muxi didn't know where he had gone, but his intuition told him that Qi Ming would come back. This person didn't seem like someone who would leave without saying hello.

But he didn't even dare to dream that Qi Ming came back and took back the bag of silver.

His silver is back.

The joys and sorrows of life...

Great sadness and great joy...

Bai Muxi put the money back on the table, picked up the rice bowl pretending to be calm, and still complained to Qi Ming, "Then, tell me where you went anyway, I thought you..."

Qi Ming didn't take it seriously: "Based on your condition at the time, you may not be able to hear it even if you say it."

Bai Muxi was a little embarrassed, she put her head down and smiled, ignoring the addition of vegetables, she took two mouthfuls of white rice vigorously, and chewed quickly.

The rice is not good rice, tasteless in the mouth, and a bit hard, chewing, but a drop of tears fell into the rice bowl, and then the teardrops fell like beads with a broken thread, Shiraki Xi wiped it in a hurry, the rough cloth made her skin hurt, and her eyes were red.

But Bai Muxi's heart was filled with forcibly suppressed anger, but it was instantly washed away by the boundless clear flow, sweeping away with all the resignation and unwillingness to resignation, leaving behind a piece of joy.

Halfway through the meal, Bai Muxi finally calmed down, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly put down his job.

"Oh, I forgot, I have to return the shopkeeper's money quickly."

As he said that, he was about to run out with his purse.

Qi Ming's voice came from behind: "Pay it for you."

After Bai Muxi stood still, he added: "When you come back."

Bai Muxi turned around and looked across at Qi Ming who was eating quietly with an indifferent face.

He suddenly felt very happy. For the first time in his life, he felt a very solid feeling in his heart.

……

Before going to bed, Bai Muxi lay down on the table and carefully counted the money in the purse. There were 18 taels left. Calculated for daily expenses, it was enough for them to eat and drink normally for a long time, and they could also eat small meat occasionally.

Holding a heavy handful of broken silver in his hand, the touch can probably be called happiness. Bai Muxi hugged the silver with a smile on his eyes and brows.

After Qi Ming washed up, he passed him to lay the floor in the back room.

Bai Muxi turned her head to look at him, her eyes rolled, "Why don't you stop laying the floor, and let's sleep on the bed together."

Qi Ming was bending down to unfold the mat. Hearing this, he turned around and gave him a puzzled look, and then directly rejected his offer.

"forget it."

Bai Muxi was puzzled: "Why, the ground is so cold, it's only the beginning of spring now."

Qi Ming took the mattress: "I'm still injured, so I can't afford to offend you."

Now he is injured inside and out, if Bai Muxi kicked him in a dream in the middle of the night, he should not sleep that night.

Bai Muxi was stunned: "I, I sleep very well. When I slept with the old man who took care of me before, he said that I slept very honestly."

Qi Ming sneered and didn't make any comments. He didn't sleep well these days, often waking up in the middle of the night, and when he looked up, he saw someone's sleeping posture in a mess.

Bai Muxi: "..."

Could it be that she has been sleeping alone all these years, and she has let go?

Bai Muxi stood up: "Then why don't you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

Qi Ming didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he spread the floor and lay down on it. The thin old mattress didn't help much, lying on it was like lying on the hard ground. After a life-and-death catastrophe, his back is now on the stable ground, which makes him feel at ease.

But Bai Muxi felt a little restless. This lost and recovered bag of broken silver made him always feel that he owed Qi Ming something and wanted to do something to make it up to him.

So early the next morning, instead of continuing to sell his Yunzhi Pearl Cream, Bai Muxi went to the furniture store to ask the price of the bed, but he was half-hearted when he asked, and a bed that was slightly better would cost dozens of taels silver.

Bai Muxi was hesitant, and asked the store if there was a cheaper one, and the store said yes, go to the wood shop outside, find two wooden boards and two stools and put them together, and it will be settled for a few taels of money.

Bai Muxi didn't want to buy wooden boards and wronged Qi Ming, but she went to the woodware store to see if she could build a bed out of wooden boards. As a result, after processing, it still cost dozens of taels of silver, although it was cheaper than the ones in the store. But after buying, there is not much money for food.

Poverty made Shiraki hopeful and deterred, so he could only withdraw, shaking his head and sighing while walking on the street.

As a result, when passing by the clothing appraisal shop, Bai Muxi's eyes lit up when he saw a man carrying a brand new quilt to sell.

The estimated clothing store collects these discarded second-hand clothes and quilts at a cheap price, and sells them to poor people who cannot afford new clothes. Naturally, Bai Muxi is also a poor person. Since he can’t afford a bed, he should buy more quilts. So that Qi Ming could lie down softer.

When Bai Mu Xi excitedly returned home with a few mattresses in his arms, Qi Ming, who was meditating on the stone in the courtyard, opened his eyes and looked at him with a puzzled face: "Why did you buy so many mattresses?"

Bai Muxi said happily: "Pave the floor for you, so it won't be hard."

Qi Ming: "..."

Qi Ming looked at the three or four mattresses on his shoulders, thought for a while, and said with difficulty: "You, use it yourself."

Bai Muxi was taken aback for a moment, and the originally elated mood suddenly became depressed: "Huh?"

Qi Ming was helpless: "I don't sleep on a soft bed."

Bai Muxi: "Yes, but, how hard it is to lie on the ground."

Qi Ming didn't take it seriously: "I think it's pretty good."

Bai Muxi: "...Oh."

The kindness was rejected so bluntly, so Bai Muxi spread the three mattresses on his hard bed, and threw himself on it as if he had thrown himself into a cotton ball, extremely happy.

Does Bai Muxi like to sleep on soft beds, especially.

The soft bed didn't please Qi Ming, so Bai Muxi lay on the bed and thought for a while, then ran out excitedly.

Four mattresses only cost him two taels of silver, and he still has a lot of money to squander!

At the meat stall in the market, Bai Muxi asked the boss very boldly and bought three catties of high-quality pork belly in one go. The boss knew him well and was used to his pitiful appearance of being penniless and greedy for fat meat, so he asked him with a smile Did you get rich?

Bai Muxi smiled, acquiesced, and ran home with the meat that the boss had cut for him, and went into the kitchen when he got home.

Qi Ming sat in the yard all the time and meditated. He knew how to open his eyes to look at him before, but this time he didn't even bother to open his eyes. It wasn't until the smell of meat wafted from the kitchen that he realized why Bai Muxi ran out just now.

Qi Ming smiled slightly, it seems that he really likes to eat meat.

Sure enough, during lunch, there was a table full of meat and vegetables, such as braised pork, fried pork powder, steamed meat, pickled pork with plum vegetables, Bai Muxi tried her best, these are also Bai Muxi's favorite tastes, just homely The cooked meat and vegetables were light in color and aroma, and Qi Ming didn't have much appetite as he watched them.

So the only plate of stir-fried cabbage on the table was frequently favored by Qi Ming.

Bai Muxi was very puzzled.

He has observed that Qi Ming's meal size is about two bowls of white rice, paired with one or two plates of green vegetables, which is just enough to fill him up, which shows that he still likes the vegetarian dishes he stir-fries.

When eating in a restaurant before, Qi Ming only ate a bowl of rice when faced with a large table of meat dishes that were heavy in oil and salt.

But when I thought about it later, how could it be possible for people who practice martial arts not to eat meat?How can you get strength if you don't eat meat?

So probably the food cooked in the restaurant was not to his liking. Thinking that Qi Ming likes the light side dishes he cooked, he thought that Qi Ming also likes light meat dishes.

As a result, Qi Ming still looks like he lacks interest.

He probably really doesn't like meat.

Bai Muxi thought silently, and became even more curious, how did he grow so big without eating meat?
