Chapter 274
What’s the difference between this and finding fault and blackmailing someone?
Xue Shun was almost hit by a bench but dodged it with a quick move. Looking at Shen Jiao lying on the ground, he felt speechless.
"You're so lazy that you can even say something like that?"
Xue Shun really felt inferior to him.
I still underestimated her.
But after seeing Shen Jiao sitting there listlessly without even changing her clothes after he finished his work, Xue Shun still approached her and asked doubtfully, "Have you developed a conscience?"
Shen Jiao looked bleak: "Sir, do you have any feeling?"
"How does it feel?" Xue Shun asked her as he washed the mud off his feet.
Shen Jiao replied, "Most good things are not durable. Cabbages wither and cucumbers rot easily. Can't you feel it? The loss of vitality brings such a feeling. The sky seems to have darkened..."
Xue Shun listened to her sad words and looked up: "Yeah, I feel it, it's going to rain, go back to the house, don't sit here."
Why does it seem to be getting dark? That's just the clouds rising. How can it not be dark when it's cloudy?
Shen Jiao glanced at him and said, "It's not just the sky that's raining, there's also an endless rain in my heart."
Xue Shun wanted to curl his lips when he heard this: "I know, I know, go back to the house, go back to the house."
It's raining as we're talking. Why are you still sitting there like an idiot?
Shen Jiao waved her hand: "You go ahead, I'll stay here and feel the nourishment of this heavenly water with my friends."
Return the moisture of heavenly water...
Xue Shun pointed to the vat in the yard and said, "That's also filled with water from the sky. Why don't you take a bucket back to the house and play with it?"
"Why would I want an old one when I can have a fresh one?" Shen Jiao said unhappily, "We still have to mourn our departed friends in the rain."
A friend who left?
Is that the basket of rotten vegetables that he used to make compost?
Xue Shun looked at Shen Jiao.
There are two possibilities: either she is really crazy, or she just wants to make Xue Shun crazy.
If it's the latter... the sacrifice is a bit too great.
It was drizzling, and Xue Shun sat on the porch drinking hot tea, looking at the stubborn figure in the yard.
Qiongzhi ate her snacks hesitantly and said, "Sir, do you really not need to drag her back?"
Qiongzhi doesn't care much about Shen Jiao.
But if Shen Jiao falls ill, wouldn’t the young master be the one who feels sorry for her?
Not worth it.
Xue Shun: "Why are you pulling her? She's holding an umbrella, isn't she? She's not stupid."
Xue Shun thought she was going to use her head to catch the rain, so he took her back to the house, found an umbrella, and asked, "How ugly would it be if I got bald?"
One or two drops may not be a problem, but water can wear away a stone.
Shen Jiao can't take this risk.
Xue Shun: "Don't worry, she's fine."
At least for now, she still knows that she is a human being.
Qiongzhi was still prepared to persuade him again.
Shen Jiao suddenly shouted without turning around: "It's a bit cold, please help me get some clothes."
Xue Shun: ...Look.
Qiongzhi: ...Let her freeze to death.
Shen Jiao not only knows the difference between hot and cold, but also wants to use his friends to make a hot pot.
If you have a cold, you need to eat something to help you sweat.
Xue Shun snorted coldly and asked, "Don't we need to mourn for these people in the pot?"
Shen Jiao ate without even looking up: "They died a worthy death, why be sad?"
Qiongzhi picked up two pieces of mutton with her chopsticks and cried out in surprise, "You are so sad, aren't you?"
How can this be called sad? It's clearly a lie.
Shen Jiao argued, "No, you don't understand. Death can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. For them, the best fate is to enter the stomach of a human or an animal before they wither and rot. That way, they won't waste their precious bodies."
"Can you please not use the word 'body'?" After she said that, Qiongzhi always felt that the things floating up and down in the pot seemed to be all corpses.
Xue Shun asked curiously, "Do they all think so?"
"That's not it," Shen Jiao shook his head and said with a laugh, "Isn't this called saving a life?"
In the huge vegetable garden, these ones were the noisiest and most afraid of death, so Shen Jiao simply pulled them all out.
"Hey? What are you guys standing there for? Why aren't you eating?"
Xue Shun and Qiongzhi also have to be able to use their chopsticks.
As soon as they picked up the chopsticks, they cried out, "Help! Don't eat me!"
Even if you can't hear it, wouldn't it be annoying to think about it?
It was just Shen Jiao, who could clearly hear it and was still eating happily.
Shen Jiao looked at the two people holding only the meat and said, "Do you think this sheep never cried for help before it died?"
Xue Shun and Qiongzhi looked as ugly as if they had eaten a fly.
Shen Jiao smiled happily.
He added, "Why are you overthinking this? People are meant to eat these things. Have you ever seen a wild animal hunting? Will it let its prey go just because it screams miserably?"
Shen Jiao answered his own question: "Of course not, because it knows that if it doesn't eat, it will starve to death. Isn't it the same for humans? Unless you want to starve yourself to death, you will always have to eat these things. Killing or cutting vegetables are all necessary things to do. Why should you feel embarrassed? Instead of feeling guilty, it is better to be respectful, chew slowly and swallow everything thoroughly. That way you won't waste their precious lives, right?"
Shen Jiao shifted his gaze from the pot to the two people's faces.
Xue Shun: "Yeah, that's right."
Qiongzhi: "Ah, yes."
Seeing Shen Jiao looking away with satisfaction, the two looked at each other, and Qiongzhi even pointed to her head: Is she getting even crazier?
Xue Shun: It seems so.
There was definitely something wrong with Shen Jiao's brain. It had been wrong before, but it was even more wrong now.
How could she say so much about food?
Even if the food on the chopsticks screamed for help, with her personality, facing such useless things, at best she would roll her eyes and then eat and drink. How could she...
Xue Shun and Qiongzhi couldn't tell what was wrong with her.
At night, Xue Shun heard her say, "They sleep soundly."
Xue Shun: "Then let's go to sleep too."
"I want to go out and sleep, sir. Let's set up a tent in the yard."
"Go out to sleep? Are you afraid that mosquitoes won't bite you?"
"Of course not. I thought if I couldn't sleep, I could still chat with them."
Shen Jiao looked rather lonely.
Xue Shun: "I am also a living being. If you really want to talk, you can talk to me."
"...That's fine," Shen Jiao said reluctantly, "Sir, do you need to fill the soil and apply fertilizer?"
Xue Shun: ...
"You go out."
What Xue Shun hates to hear the most now are these four words: fill the soil and apply fertilizer!
"Is this what you guys are talking about?"
"Let's talk about something else. They think it's rained too much these past few days, and they're feeling bloated from drinking too much. They want God to stop raining."
"Then you talk to God." Xue Shun was powerless to do anything about it.
Shen Jiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's build an altar. There are two plates of uneaten mutton in the kitchen."
She didn't seem to be joking.
"Shen Jiao, are you okay?" Xue Shun felt scared lying next to her at the moment, fearing that he would wake up on the altar. What if she thought the two plates of meat were not pious enough, she might do something.
