Chapter 181
What does it feel like to sleep soundly with a greasy, dirty child on your shoulder?
If Shen Jiao were to say, it felt like... there was a huge, hot roast goose with lychees lying on her body.
It smells exactly like a goose, and this goose has a heavy little head.
It's so annoying.
However, Shen Jiao still sent her back to the lord's house, handed her over to the divine servant at the door, and bought her enough candies and fruits for seven or eight people.
So that I don’t have to use this annoying kid again next time.
During the time Shen Jiao was hiding, she realized the importance of making friends.
She may not care about these friends, but she must never easily reveal her true face in front of them, and she cannot be without friends.
Anyway, pretending to be a good person is a piece of cake for her, and it doesn't take much effort. Even if she can't win people over with small favors, she must at least leave a good impression. If they soften their hearts at the critical moment, then she will have to survive...
After learning from his mistakes and reflecting carefully, Shen Jiao decided to start with this unfortunate child.
Although she felt it was unlikely, what if she became a saint? It would never hurt to make friends with her.
Shen Jiao, who had done a good deed, simply stole a stranger's wallet and returned to the inn.
I took off my fake face, took a comfortable hot bath, put on the newly bought sachet, and then lay down on the bed feeling refreshed and fell into a deep sleep.
That carefree feeling is so joyful that it is hard to describe.
The only regret is that I feel a little lonely.
So the next day, when Shen Jiao saw the child squatting outside the inn again, he was quite happy.
He took two or three steps forward, knelt down and said:
"Saint, you are in such a good mood, why are you here again?"
"Ahem," the distracted child suddenly jumped up and said with feigned reserve, "This Saint Maiden has received your offering. It's quite good, but it's too much. I ate some myself and gave the rest away. Considering your sincerity, I've also saved two pieces for you."
After Yun Que finished speaking in a pretentious manner, he immediately unfolded the handkerchief in his hand and showed it to her. However, he still couldn't hide it, and said excitedly,
"I've tried them all, and these two are the best."
Shen Jiao nodded: "I can see it."
The one I gave her was missing a corner.
But the Saint would never make a mistake, and she would never admit it even if she was wrong, Yun Que urged without any guilt.
"Try it now."
"Okay, thank you Saint," Shen Jiao picked up the two pieces of snacks that had fallen off a lot of crumbs and ate them. Under her expectant gaze, she praised him.
"The Saint's taste is truly extraordinary! This is the most delicious snack I have ever tasted!"
"You have good taste," Yun Que said, becoming even more arrogant and pretending to be indifferent. "What are you going to do today, stranger?"
"Well... I haven't thought about it yet. Does the Saint have any good ideas?"
Skylark had a lot of good ideas: "Then I'll take you to grill small fish and pick mushrooms!"
"Okay, let's go buy some oil and salt first, it won't be too late later."
"Okay!" Yun Que responded excitedly, and glanced at her neck again, perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Jiao would not agree, and he lied, "Stranger, squat down, I have a secret to tell you."
Shen Jiao squatted down in complete disbelief, and she immediately started to climb up.
Shen Jiao: "Is this the secret you want to tell?"
"Why not?" Yun Que said with a blush, "The secret is that the next Saint of Nanmao likes to sit higher."
"That's a really big secret. Please tell me more about it. When you become a saint, I will compile it into a book and sell it. The money I make can buy a lot of roast lychee goose and fragrant candies."
"Really? Then will you give me some?"
"Look."
"What is it, look?"
"I'm just not happy about it right now, but I don't want to tell you directly, so I'm putting it off. Maybe I'll change my mind later."
“…”
Skylark: "Mother! You can't be so stingy!"
She also said she was addicted.
She was still trying to reason with Shen Jiao: "Originally, I was holding those sweets and fruits, and I was reluctant to share any of them with others, but when I saw them looking at them eagerly, I gave them to them. They even asked me to go play with them this morning. If I hadn't been thinking about you, I wouldn't have been free until now.
So, it's better to be generous. It will be beneficial."
Shen Jiao didn't hear any benefit from it, she just understood that those people didn't want to play with her in the past.
But he still cooperated and said, "What the Saint said makes sense, but there's nothing I can do. I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm stingy."
"Hmph! Then go ahead and pick it up. I don't want any of it. Even if I catch some fish later, I won't give them to you."
Skylark also said that he was stingy.
Shen Jiao didn't care: "I can catch it myself, no need for you to worry about it."
"Hmph!" Skylark grew even angrier, but calmed down after a while. "If you can't catch one then, I won't give it to you even if you beg me... Hey, stranger, have you ever tried roasted toads? They're delicious, with lots of meat, but you can't just eat them carelessly. Some toads are poisonous. Just listen to me later, and I'll share my share with you if I catch one. I'm not as stingy as you."
"Thank you, Saint. I'll be waiting for you."
Shen Jiao bought some seasonings and then walked into the mountains as she said. Looking closely at the road, it was clearly the same road used for worshiping the gods yesterday.
"Saint, are you sure this is the right place? Are you sure we're in the right place?"
Shen Jiao remembered that she said that she was kidnapped and kept in the mountains for half a month. If the man wanted to take her away, he should have taken her to the other side of the mountain, not inside. She should be familiar with the other side, right?
Yun Que said decisively, "Don't worry, it's true. My parents told me this. It's right here. I've been here several times. Don't be afraid. We'll stay at the foot of the mountain and won't go up. It'll be fine. Besides, the mountain god will protect me. Just follow me closely, and he will protect you too."
She probably really believed in the mountain god, while Shen Jiao really didn't. However... she dared to cross mountains and rivers to Nanmao alone, so she was not afraid of wandering around in the mountains. At worst, he could just throw her out and run faster.
"Okay, then you better watch carefully and don't lead me astray." Shen Jiao said.
Yun Que said confidently: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
This kid is probably more cunning than a monkey when he gets his hair done. Shen Jiao felt a little relieved. Soon, he arrived at the place she mentioned.
There was indeed a shallow stream, but the fish in it were not even as thick as a finger, and it took a long time to catch one.
Shen Jiao was busy for a while and then lost his patience. He put his feet in the water and lay down lazily, thinking that he was just here to wash his feet.
Yun Que just shook his head and said, "What can I do if you are so lazy? Why don't you just follow me? If I have a bite to eat, I will share half with you. At least you won't starve to death, and I don't need you to do any work."
Shen Jiao: "Thank you, but I'm not. I'm too lazy to even follow people."
lark:……
How lazy must she be then?
