Chapter 275
"Don't worry, sir. I'm fine," Shen Jiao sighed. "I'm just looking for a way to control my power."
This sounded like something serious, so Xue Shun lay back down and asked her, "What's the idea?"
"I have no idea."
If you want to control it, first... you have to feel it.
But Shen Jiao didn't feel anything.
In her body, apart from the sealed spiritual power, there was nothing else. Oh, not really. There were still some undigested vegetables and mutton, as well as digested...
"No need to go into so much detail." Xue Shun didn't want to know too deeply. It would be better to just... 'stay on the surface' of their relationship and feelings.
But then again, this is something she really can only figure out on her own.
Xue Shun was able to control this power by accident.
"Maybe we're wrong," Xue Shun said, "Maybe you shouldn't have so much contact with them?"
Master Ma San can hear horses talk, but his ability is mainly used to tame horses.
Xue Shun can hear mice talking, but he uses his ability to control them to gather information and keep them under his protection.
Logically, Shen Jiao also needs to interact with flowers, plants and trees in order to figure out how to use and control her abilities.
But she got along, and the vegetables died.
Xue Shun took a look before going to bed. The crops in the field that had been caught in the rain with her were also a little wilted, and their leaves had turned yellow.
Shen Jiao used to pretend that she couldn't hear and had to use her hands to serve them away. Now she doesn't even need to use her hands, just a few words will do the trick.
Xue Shun had a guess: "Perhaps your ability is to draw life from them. As for what they say, in terms of the ability itself, perhaps it's not important?"
Xue Shun felt that such ability was in line with Shen Jiao's personality.
Their abilities only appeared after they encountered major changes. Xue Shun and Ma San Taiye's abilities were what they wanted most at the time, so Shen Jiao's abilities might be the same.
Xue Shun analyzed these and talked about them.
Shen Jiao sat up silently and stared at him in the darkness: "Sir, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Xue Shun: ...
How to say it?
It's somewhat amusing to see her like a headless fly.
Xue Shun also wanted revenge, but he couldn't bear it.
He turned over and said, "Go to sleep. It's getting late."
Shen Jiao kicked him down, then covered herself with the quilt and fell down with a thud, saying back, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."
Xue Shun: ...
What you said about being so kindhearted that you feel sad even when the food dies is really a lie!
Xue Shun silently climbed onto the bed and rubbed his waist: It still hurts from the kick.
Xue Shun could have dodged if he wanted to, but considering the situation, the kick wasn't unjust. Recalling something, he reminded her, "You can do whatever you want with the vegetables, but don't even think about anything else. No matter what, you are not allowed to kill anyone."
When Xue Shun's ability gets out of control, he will eat mice. When Master Ma San's ability gets out of control, he will eat horse grass. Of course, they also do some other things.
But none of them killed as many people as Shen Jiao.
If Shen Jiao wants to use killing people to bring out his own abilities, that is wishful thinking and Xue Shun will never agree to it.
Shen Jiao knew.
She is not an unreasonable female devil. She will not kill innocent people for no reason.
Besides, it's not that serious. She just wants to try... to see if she can figure out something by killing all those vegetables.
She wanted more, if possible.
She only had a fleeting thought, but before dawn the next day, Qiongzhi called out in the yard: "Shen Jiao! Look at what you've done!!!"
She spoke so loudly that she didn't care whether it would wake Xue Shun up.
The two men put on their clothes and went out to look. The yard was dead silent and there was not a trace of green at all.
Xue Shun looked at Shen Jiao with an indescribably complicated look.
Shen Jiao looked very innocent: "How could I have done this? I was fine before I went to bed last night, and I didn't go out at night. They died for no reason and you blame me? Maybe there was something wrong with the rain yesterday."
Shen Jiao thought it was very possible.
Qiongzhi hurried out to take a look, and when she came back she was even more furious. In her hand she held a gorgeous flower, which she raised to Shen Jiao's eyes: "Look, look at what this is. It's just outside the courtyard wall, and there's nothing wrong. How dare you say it's not you!"
In just the time it takes to say this one sentence, three people witnessed the life of that flower, from blooming to withering.
When the dry wind blows, the crumbs fall off.
Not to mention the two of them, Shen Jiao herself was also a little confused at the moment: "Am I that weird?"
"Don't be modest. It's weird that you don't have this ability."
Xue Shun's words were not pleasant at all.
What's even more outrageous is that Shen Jiao can't even get fresh vegetables at the moment, so Qiongzhi has to run to the big kitchen to get some ready-made ones.
The cooking there is pretty good.
But none of the three of them liked it much, so there was a lot left in the end.
Shen Jiao, who is somewhat frugal, said: "Put it in the kitchen. If it's not spoiled, you can heat it up and eat it next time."
Her behavior is not entirely due to laziness, it also has some sincerity.
For some reason, she had an inexplicable love for food and couldn't stand seeing it wasted.
Xue Shun and Qiongzhi asked in unison: "Who are you ordering?"
The two of them are busy all over the yard, and Shen Jiao actually wants to slack off?!
Who can tolerate this!
The two were so angry that they wanted to make a sign with the words "I am a lazy bum" written on it and have Shen Jiao carry it through the streets to show her off to everyone. It really seemed like she had given up hope. She didn't want to do any work at all?
That’s not the case.
Shen Jiao was a person who knew what was happening. Even though their looks seemed to be tearing her into pieces, she was still willing to do something. Not only did she clean up the dishes, she also washed the utensils.
No one knew how she did it. She spent the entire morning washing three sets of dishes. She didn't come out until Xue Shun and Qiongzhi had almost finished cleaning up. With an expression of pity and sorrow on her face, she silently stared at the baskets of 'vegetable corpses'.
Two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Shen Jiao patted the edge of the basket affectionately and said, "Goodbye."
Xue Shun: "You go with it."
Xue Shun lifted a basket and placed it on Shen Jiao's back: "Since we have such deep feelings for each other, it's only right that you should be the one to see them off."
"No," Shen Jiao's face froze, "I really can't bear to see you separate."
"Then you stay there until you can no longer bear it."
Qiongzhi didn't care. If she thought the compost pile was a good place, she could stay there for the rest of her life. Qiongzhi was happy to build a shack for her with her own hands and move it next to the compost pile.
Why not a house?
One reason is that it is too much trouble and not worth it, and the other reason is that the shack is more breathable. When she misses her little friend, she doesn't need to stick her head out, just a deep breath can satisfy her longing, and it is all the smell of her little friend.
Qiongzhi's thoughtfulness almost moved me.
Xue Shun and Shen Jiao: ...
Xue Shun felt that Shen Jiao should bear the blame: "She definitely learned this from you."
Shen Jiao said unhappily, "If that's the case, once a teacher, always a mother. How could she be so heartless to me?"
Not only was Qiongzhi heartless, but upon hearing this, she picked up a rotten vegetable and tried to hit her on the head, scaring Shen Jiao so much that she ran away.
I have to run, Qiongzhi is so accurate now...
