Chapter 210: Reverse Scale
Fu Qingyin watched Yu Shengsheng move skillfully, not caring about her image at all, digging in the mud with her hands.
The delicate white contrasts sharply with the dirt of the earth.
She knelt on one knee, blowing into the fire, her face stained with ash, her long hair nearly falling into the fallen leaves.
Fu Qingyin subconsciously grabbed her hair and held it in his hand.
Yu Shengsheng tilted her head to look at him, blinking her distinct black and white eyes slightly, like a confused little dirty cat.
Fu Qingyin frowned slightly: "It's really dirty."
Yu Shengsheng didn't care at all. She pulled her hair away and turned to wash her hands by the water.
Fu Qingyin's hands felt empty and his fingers clenched unconsciously.
"You live in the country, do you often roast chicken?"
After saying this, he even doubted himself, how could he have said such nonsense and made up talk for no reason?
Yu Shengsheng was washing her hair without even turning her head, but her tone was light-hearted and cheerful: "The commander is really a jokester. It doesn't happen often. You can only catch pheasants when you are lucky."
"Moreover, most of them cannot be eaten and must be exchanged for rice or money."
Fu Qingyin looked at her thin back and inexplicably remembered that Hao Mengye once said that she was tortured and covered with bruises in the Queen's Villa.
Looking away, he was silent for a moment: "I will not eat your chicken for nothing."
Yu Shengsheng turned around when he heard this, his eyebrows slightly curved: "I won't accept the commander's money, this is a thank you for your help."
Fu Qingyin rarely saw her smile. Usually her smile was polite, and it seemed fake and distant.
Yu Shengsheng stood up and wiped his hands with a handkerchief: "I understand. The commander has helped me many times, and this transaction is the same. It is my honor to cook a few chickens for you."
"Next time you can make roast lamb."
Fu Qingyin laughed so hard that his chest burst out: "You want to eat it, right?"
"Everyone can come together and go on a picnic. I'll take care of it." Yu Shengsheng was very excited.
"Everyone?" Fu Qingyin's smile faded slightly. "Who else do you want to invite?"
"Baobao, Nanny Zhou, Heibai, and Miss Lu Wu," Yu Shengsheng counted, "and the commander-in-chief."
Fu Qingyin listened everywhere but didn't hear his own name. Could it be that he had to lag behind Hei Bai, Hao Mengye, and even Lu Wu?
"Where is this envoy?"
"Of course we come together. What's the point of an outing if you don't come?" Yu Shengsheng was surprised.
Fu Qingyin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his ring, and leaned against the white horse.
He snorted softly.
That's about right.
Yu Shengsheng had to admit that although Fu Qingyin looked thin, he had a really big appetite.
There were three chickens, he ate two and a half himself, she ate less than one third, and the remaining chicken legs had to be taken back to Baobao.
After cleaning up, Yu Shengsheng asked tentatively: "Commander, it's getting late, should we go back?"
Fu Qingyin glanced at her without saying anything, then jumped on the horse and stretched out his hand to her.
"Come up."
When she put her hand in his palm, Yu Shengsheng was surprised to find that his palm was so big that he could wrap her entire hand in it with just one squeeze.
"Hold on tight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white horse flew like a cloud.
After running for a while, Yu Shengsheng wondered: "Commander, where are we going?"
Fu Qingyin said nothing and just kept moving forward.
Yu Shengsheng clutched his robe tightly and thought, never mind where he goes, my words don’t count anyway.
After about two quarters of an hour, Fu Qingyin pulled the reins.
"Look."
Yu Shengsheng looked in the direction he pointed and realized that from their position, they were looking down from a high vantage point.
It was dark and blocked by trees, so she shouldn't be able to see anything clearly. But to her surprise, there were faint lights in that area, which were particularly clear in the night.
"Is that... Hongyuan Temple?" Yu Shengsheng was surprised.
She had only heard of it and had never been there. Judging from the location, she guessed it was there.
Hongyuan Temple is very popular. Many powerful families in the capital come here to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of every month, and many people also light eternal lamps here.
Some important Buddhist ceremonies of the royal family were also held here.
For example, the year-end festival, the spring ploughing ceremony, etc.
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Yes, on the far left is Hongyuan Temple. Look, what does it look like?"
From Yu Shengsheng's perspective, she couldn't see clearly, so she leaned forward, wanting to get closer and see more clearly.
Unconsciously, a few strands of hair were blown up by the wind and gently stroked Fu Qingyin's cheek.
Silky and slightly cool, with a light fragrance.
Fu Qingyin subconsciously wanted to turn away, but stopped for unknown reasons.
My thoughts are in a mess.
Suddenly, the hair was no longer soft, as if it had magical power, as if it were alive, wrapping around him tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He closed his eyes, gripped the reins tightly, and his whole body was in struggle.
"Commander?"
Yu Shengsheng's voice seemed to come from a distant place, lingering in his ears.
"Commander!"
Yu Shengsheng was startled. She was looking down and talking to Fu Qingyin, but he didn't respond.
Turning around, I saw that his eyes were closed, his eyes were pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips were pursed.
"Commander!"
Yu Shengsheng quickly jumped off the horse, carefully supported him, and tried to help him under the tree while shouting.
Before she reached the tree, she was tripped by something and fell, and Fu Qingyin also fell.
It was not a normal fall. Fu Qingyin was face down and was about to fall onto a rock on the ground.
Yu Shengsheng was so shocked that she didn't care about anything else. She covered his face with her hands.
She also lay on Fu Qingyin, separating Fu Qingyin's face from the stone with her palms, and pressed them against the stone.
"Ouch," she groaned in pain.
At the same time, Fu Qingyin also woke up from this touch.
Yu Shengsheng endured the pain in her hand and called out anxiously, "Commander, wake up! What's wrong with you?"
Fu Qingyin's mind was confused and he even wanted to faint again.
Yu Shengsheng pressed on him and called him. The only thing he was thankful for was that there was no one else around.
"Commander!"
Fu Qingyin closed his eyes: "You go down first."
Yu Shengsheng was startled at this and quickly let go of her hand, climbing off him with a red face.
"You..." She came over and wanted to help, but Fu Qingyin raised his hand to refuse.
"Don't."
Fu Qingyin stood up and looked down at his red robe, which was covered with dust, dead grass and broken leaves.
Yu Shengsheng looked at him and asked tentatively: "Commander, are you... okay?"
Fu Qingyin found it difficult to explain what had just happened to him, and he didn't intend to explain.
That was the deepest pain in his heart and also his weak spot.
"It's okay," Fu Qingyin said coldly, his eyes skimming over her hand.
The hand already had an old injury, and now the palm was injured again, it was red, swollen, and the skin was broken.
He wanted to ask, but his mind was still stuck in the situation just now and his emotions had not fully recovered.
Yu Shengsheng looked at him and keenly felt that he was particularly violent at this moment, which was different from his usual coldness.
She wanted to remind him that her forehead was... swollen, but she was intimidated by his anger and didn't dare to speak.
Fu Qingyin turned his back, closed his eyes slightly, and suppressed his emotions.
Yu Shengsheng also quietly turned around and looked in the direction he had pointed.
In the direction of Hongyuan Temple.
What does it look like?
