Chapter 257: The Stinky Man Junyi
Gu Nan immediately grinned widely and waved his hand.
The child seemed to be encouraged by her smile and looked at her with bright eyes.
"She seems to like you very much." De Zhao said curiously, "She even cried when Master Chunyi brought her back."
Gu Nan grumbled mercilessly, "It's a good thing that Junyi's ugly face didn't scare people to death."
There is an unwritten rule that if you say something bad about someone behind their back, you will most likely be caught red-handed. Gu Nan was caught just after she said one sentence. Chunyi stood behind her, holding two bowls of medicine with an expressionless face.
"Go feed her." Chun pushed the medicine in front of her.
When De Zhao turned around, he almost jumped up in fright. He saluted in a panic, called out "Master Chunyi", lowered his head and ran away.
De Zhao was afraid of him, but Gu Nan was not. He sat directly on the windowsill, swinging his legs and kicking him left and right. "I am a fierce ghost. Are you okay with letting me feed the child medicine? You brought the child back, so of course you should feed him."
Chunyi's muscles were firm and his lower body was extremely stable. No matter how hard Gu Nan tried, he remained motionless and steady as a rock, just like his personality, like a silent and undiscovered mountain.
"She's close to you, and you have merit. If you come out early, you won't hurt them." Chunyi placed the medicine on the windowsill and said, "I'll make an offering to you tonight."
Gu Nan sneered, what a stinky man, he only knows how to coax her when he asks her to do something.
"Offering is something you should do, not a condition."
Junyi: "Braised fish."
Gu Nan moved his throat in a cowardly manner, "Really? Real fish? You're a monk, and you're cooking fish in the temple?"
Junyi seemed not to notice her actions. He lowered his eyes and stared at her without saying a word. He looked at her with a disdainful look as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
This expression really deserves a beating.
Gu Nan's hands and teeth itched and he really wanted to hit him, but when he thought about eating fish, he decided not to bother with him. "Speaking of this, is it really braised fish? Don't think you can fool me by calling a piece of tofu a fish."
Junyi: "Real fish."
Gu Nan pressed on, "What kind of fish? Is it braised? Is there enough oil? Are there any seasonings?"
She had suffered losses twice, so she had to ask carefully before she could feel at ease.
Junyi didn't react to her cautiousness and just said, "If it doesn't taste good, make it again."
Gu Nan was relieved. "It's a deal. If there's no fish tonight, I'll just rip your skull off."
Picking up the medicine, Gu Nan walked in through the main entrance.
When the child saw Gu Nan coming in, he smiled at him again.
Gu Nan smiled brightly. Children who like to laugh are the cutest, much cuter than Chunyi.
Gu Nan brought the medicine to her mouth. Without any urging, she held the bowl and drank it all up. She didn't find it bitter at all and didn't even frown. She got up and gently placed the bowl on the cabinet beside the bed.
Sensible children always make people feel distressed. Gu Nan touched her head and said, "You are so cute. What's your name? How old are you this year?"
"Niuniu, she's almost four years old." She whispered, observing Gu Nan's expression as she spoke.
Gu Nan's smile remained unchanged. "It turned out to be Niuniu. Niuniu, can you please help your sister and help this little sister?"
"Okay." She crawled to the baby nimbly and held the swaddle in her arms carefully but skillfully. It was obvious that she was used to doing this.
There were no soft bottles or droppers these days, so the medicine had to be fed forcefully. Perhaps because he was thirsty or had a fever and felt confused, the child was quite cooperative and didn't spill too much.
After putting down the bowl, Gu Nan felt like he was about to sweat.
While Niu Niu was gently patting the swaddle to coax the baby to sleep, she couldn't help but look at Gu Nan.
She noticed when this sister lifted the bamboo cover to look at them that the other sister could even hold them up and let them fly in the air like a fairy.
She didn't know why they didn't choose to take them away but called the monk over, but she knew that the two sisters she met today were her benefactors.
After the child fell asleep, she put down the swaddling clothes, crawled to Gu Nan, knelt down and kowtowed, "Sister Benefactor..."
Gu Nan was startled by her and quickly pulled her up, "What are you doing? You don't have to do these things in front of me."
Niuniu was so thin and small that Gu Nan lifted her up into the air without much effort. Knowing that she was uneasy, he felt a little helpless. "Don't worry about your health. This is Fajue Temple. We won't chase you away."
It was the first time that Niuniu was lifted into the air. She was a little frightened, her eyes wide open. "Niuniu wants to repay her benefactor, sister."
The four-year-old children here are different from the four-year-old children in modern times. The children here have to work from a young age. Because they are girls, they have to read people's faces and speak and act carefully in front of their elders to make a living and avoid being scolded. They look young, but they actually become sensible early.
It is not feasible to tell a child who has never been loved and abandoned that she "does not ask for anything in return." Only by ordering her to do work and setting requirements for her can she be sure that she is needed and will not be abandoned again.
It's hard to say this isn't tame.
Gu Nan put her back on the bed and said seriously, "Of course I have to repay you. I spent a lot of effort to save you, but there's no rush. When you're well again, there will be plenty of work for you to do."
When Niu Niu heard “it took a lot of effort to save him”, her eyes immediately became hot and she wanted to kowtow to Gu Nan again.
Gu Nan quickly held her little head and said, "Let's set a rule first. You are not allowed to kneel and kowtow casually in the future."
Niu Niu was confused, but still nodded obediently.
Gu Nan pulled up the quilt to cover her, "Go to sleep, there will be new tasks for you when you wake up."
When she heard that there was still work to do, Niu Niu wanted to go to work immediately, but because Gu Nan was staring at her, she could only close her eyes and sleep obediently.
It was a frightening and terrifying day, and she was so tired that she fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.
Gu Nan picked up the bowl and left the room, took a walk around the kitchen, and began to look forward to dinner.
At the beginning of the afternoon, as soon as the mountain bell rang, Gu Nan floated in front of Chunyi and prepared to chant a spell.
But Junyi didn't give her a chance, he got up and went straight to the kitchen.
"Where's the fish?" Gu Nan had checked and there was no fish in the kitchen. How could a monk prepare fish in the kitchen?
Junyi picked up the bucket and the knife and went to the back mountain in a flash.
There is an underground river in the back mountain, and there are fish in the river, but they are all small black fish as big as a little finger. Gu Nan can't name them, but she is not stupid. The braised fish that Chunyi mentioned is probably this thing.
Gu Nan suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, "Is this the fish you want to cook for me?"
Chun glanced at her, as if to say: Isn't this a fish?
Gu Nan: “…”
Damn it, Chunyi, you look like a fish to me.
Junyi calmly brought up a bucket of water. The fish here had not been caught all year round, so they didn't hide much and just let him bring it up foolishly.
Pour out the water, pick up the fish and go down the mountain.
Light the stove and heat the oil in the pan. For such a small fish, you don’t even need to kill it, just put it directly into the pan.
Gu Nan couldn't stand it any longer and kicked the glaring boiled egg on the head.
