Chapter 15 Chapter 15 She was sure that Han Yinfeng would not stay here. ...
Han Yinfeng listened silently, feeling heavy in his heart.
After a while, Mu Xi pushed the door open with medicine in her hand. She was a little surprised to find that he had woken up without her knowing when, and asked him how he felt.
"Much better." Han Yinfeng responded weakly and asked, "Is Madam Qin outside? Has the rain stopped?"
"Well, she came here to copy books. The rain has stopped and the air is fresh." Mu Xi handed the medicine to him. "I was just wondering whether to wake you up, but you woke up first."
Han Yinfeng drank it all without saying a word and asked Mu Xiyu how long he had been stopping.
"Ah... We've been stopped for a while. Xing'er was asked to clear the road, so she stopped by to ask if I needed any help."
Han Yinfeng nodded and said, "Let Madam Qin go back. I'm fine now. I can..."
"A patient should have their own awareness." Mu Xi thought he was just trying to show off and interrupted him, "It's better for you to get some rest now."
Having said that, Han Yinfeng seemed to have listened at the time, but he didn't fully understand. He just lay there for a while, then got up and went out to help.
Qin Xing'er heard that he had caught a cold and had a fever and was seriously ill. She was surprised to see him suddenly appear.
"Mr. Han, are you okay? I heard you were sick, and the teacher was very worried."
Han Yinfeng smiled and replied, "I'm sorry to have worried my wife and Madam Qin. I'm fine. Madam took good care of me, and I'm almost well now."
Qin Xing'er laughed and said, "It seems that you and the teacher are indeed related. No matter what illness you have, you will recover quickly."
Han Yinfeng didn't say anything. Mu Xi brought him a stool and asked him to sit down and rest.
"No, I'm not tired." Han Yinfeng glanced at Qin Xing'er, then looked at Mu Xi and asked, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll go prepare it."
After the rain stopped, the air was moist and warm, but as the temperature rose, it became a bit stuffy.
Seeing Han Yinfeng's pale face and asking her what she wanted to eat, Qin Xing'er was moved and quickly persuaded him softly, "Don't worry, my brother will prepare it and send it over later."
Han Yinfeng was silent for a moment, then smiled. "This isn't good. I'm fine, but I always ask Master Qin for help. It's unreasonable."
Qin Xing'er also laughed, "It's okay. Besides, my brother doesn't just want to help you. He's eager to come over every day to cook and wash clothes for the teacher..."
"Xing'er." Mu Xi stopped him in time, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, yes." Qin Xing'er smiled apologetically, "I won't say anything more."
Han Yinfeng's expression remained unchanged. Just as he was about to ask them again what they wanted to eat, Mu Xi called him.
Turning her head, the sunlight just happened to illuminate Mu Xi's light brown pupils. Her eyes were calm as she looked at Han Yinfeng and spoke.
"I'm not busy anymore. Didn't we buy a lot of food yesterday? Let's have hot pot for dinner. When it's ready, call Qin Li over. It just so happens that he has nothing to do today."
The second half of the sentence was said to Qin Xing'er, and Qin Xing'er's eyes lit up, "Okay, my brother will definitely be willing to come!"
"hot pot?"
These were words Han Yinfeng had never come across before. Seeing Qin Xing'er's bright eyes and longing look, he knew that this was not the first time they had eaten hotpot together, and he felt a little uneasy.
Mu Xi gave him a brief description. Han Yinfeng had a strong comprehension ability and understood it quickly.
He had been eating just to survive since he was a child. He didn't have high requirements for the taste of food and would eat anything that could fill his stomach. He had never heard of such a happy way of dining together.
Mu Xi told him that eating hot pot is the most convenient way to eat when there are many people around.
She mentioned this, which was different from her usual behavior. She spoke more. Han Yinfeng thought, it seems that she really likes eating hot pot.
Who among the modern soul doesn’t love hot pot?
Mu Xi once told Han Yinfeng that she didn't have high requirements for the taste of food, and she didn't lie.
But...that's hot pot.
I can’t stand eating it every day, but I always want it if I don’t eat it for a while.
At first, Mu Xi found out that the people here had never heard of the word hot pot, and she was discouraged for a while. But when she found out that she could buy the seasoning she wanted in this dynasty that did not appear in history textbooks, she was instantly overjoyed.
Qin Xing'er and Qin Li had eaten with her a few times. The food was so spicy that they could hardly speak clearly, but they both said it was delicious after eating it.
Before Mu Xi told Han Yinfeng about this, Han Yinfeng listened with a smile on his face, but his mood became more depressed.
Listening to Mu Xi talking about her and other people's happy memories in the past, Han Yinfeng felt that he had been an outsider from the beginning to the end, unable to join the game, and still is until now.
He didn't envy Qin Xing'er, Qin Li and Mu Xi's relationship. What was there to envy?
He only occasionally...really only occasionally, thought that if he were Qin Li, he would have done what he should have done a long time ago, without having to work so hard like he is now.
This thought flashed through his mind. Han Yinfeng felt a chill, disgusted with himself for thinking this way. He was not Qin Li, and he didn't want to be like Qin Li. He was much better than Qin Li.
But... I have to say, although Mu Xi treats him much better than before, in comparison, Mu Xi is still closer to the Qin brothers and sisters.
This made Han Yinfeng angry whenever he thought about it.
…
"Just slice the meat and potatoes and sweet potatoes thinly, and wash the other vegetables, is that right?"
"Yes." Mu Xi nodded, "I can use a knife with my left hand. I'll teach you later."
"What are you teaching me? I'll go call my brother over. He doesn't want to stay at home anyway, so I'll call him over to help Mr. Han."
Qin Xing'er stood up and walked a few steps. Han Yinfeng looked over and found that Mu Xi did not stop her, so he was a step too slow and Qin Xing'er had disappeared.
Running really fast. Han Yinfeng thought, if Mu Xi's attitude had softened even a little, they might have already become a family.
Mu Xi returned to her seat and looked at the book that Qin Xing'er had copied halfway. Han Yinfeng also looked over. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never seen Mu Xi write before.
If her dominant hand hadn't been injured, she wouldn't have had the chance to stay.
"Madam Qin's handwriting is quite good."
"Yes, better than me."
"How could that be? My wife is her teacher."
Mu Xi smiled and said, "My handwriting is average, no one wants to copy my books."
"My wife has copied it too?"
"No, I personally think that having one job is enough. My current job is pretty stable, and I haven't tried other industries."
Mu Xi had no desire to stand out, she always felt that she did not belong here.
There are two purposes for finding a job: one is to maintain normal basic social life and reduce the risk of mental illness; the other is to earn money, even if it's not a lot. The salary for a teacher, from ancient times to the present, is not high, but the advantage is "stability" - a certain degree of stability.
Mu Xi is just an ordinary person in modern times. If he had gone to school and graduated as planned, he would probably be an ordinary office worker now, going out early and coming back late.
The main reason why she is qualified to be a teacher here is that Luan County is remote and sparsely populated.
The books she had read and the words she had written when she was locked up in the house five years ago, plus everything she had learned in modern times, combined together, could be of some use here.
Mu Xi looked at Han Yinfeng and thought that there was often an unconscious coldness and stubbornness revealed in his eyes.
Such a person's life ideals must be different from hers. She was sure that Han Yinfeng would not stay here and end his life in vain.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mu Xi smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xing'er came back happily with Qin Li.
It was said that Qin Li helped Han Yinfeng, but in fact Han Yinfeng could hardly get involved.
Qin Li had some experience in how to wash and prepare vegetables for hot pot. Han Yinfeng said he wanted to learn, so he taught him well, but as he taught, he talked about the past.
Before Han Yinfeng existed.
Perhaps he realized that Han Yinfeng didn't want to listen and that he was really talking too much, so Qin Li chuckled and let him rest aside.
"Young Master Han is still ill, so I can handle this little thing. Besides, Young Master Han is so smart, he will definitely learn it after seeing it, so there is no need to learn it specifically."
Han Yinfeng didn't want to be polite with him anymore. He just watched from the side and listened to Qin Xing'er chattering with Mu Xi outside.
Talking about the murders that happened during this period.
"I just got back and some relatives came to visit. They said it might be a conflict between underworld forces."
"Martial arts forces?" Mu Xi seemed to be interested.
"Well, I heard that it was because the new leader of some pavilion took over and killed a lot of people."
"What pavilion?" Mu Xi asked.
Qin Xing'er thought for a long time: "... Come and go to the pavilion?"
Mu Xi laughed out loud, "You made that up, didn't you?"
"Of course not." Qin Xing'er thought for a moment, "But it certainly doesn't seem to be that name."
Of course not this name.
Han Yinfeng thought to himself, that is Beiqu Pavilion.
Mu Xi asked her, "So it's a gang fight?" Is this a plot from a martial arts movie?
Qin Xing'er shook her head. "I don't know, maybe. But I heard the new leader of that pavilion is a man! And he seems very young. It's outrageous."
"You went back so soon, and you must have heard a lot of gossip." Mu Xi laughed. "In this world, there are only women and men. What's wrong with a gang leader being a man? As long as he has the ability, he can make others obey him."
Han Yinfeng's heart trembled slightly when he heard this.
"Of course it's abnormal for a man, not to mention that he personally killed his own family, his mother and sister. Oh my God, this man actually dared to kill people, and they were his own family. What kind of man is he?"
"You speak as if you saw it yourself."
Mu Xi rarely heard this kind of news in Luan County. Nothing new happened under the sun, and it was a small place where almost everyone knew each other. Occasionally hearing this kind of news would indeed suddenly give her a little thrill.
But Mu Xi then thought that the dead people were too close to them, which meant they might also be in danger.
"It's just hearsay after all. You should be careful not to spread it around. Who knows who might be walking down the street with a knife hidden in their sleeve?"
"Don't worry, teacher. I know what's going on. I was just chatting casually with my own people behind closed doors." Qin Xing'er understood that Mu Xi was worried about her.
