Sheng Yunzhou took a pot of mung bean soup from home and left. Ms. Xu, who had heard the noise earlier, came down from the greenhouse on the top floor and looked at the rear of the pickup truck going away, unable to recover for a long time.
With her upbringing, she would subconsciously frown when she saw her son driving the pickup truck, let alone any unusual behavior. But now, after a long while, she said with a complicated expression: "Your hair is messy, and you don't even know how to tidy it up."
"I don't care, Miss Su is waiting." Qin's mother smiled at the kitchen door.
She watched Sheng Yunzhou grow up. Their Mr. Sheng had been well-behaved and restrained like an old man since he was a toddler. Not to mention that he became the head of the family and became more and more calm and steady. He never relaxed for a moment. When had she ever seen him so lively?
Speaking of the age of thirty-four or thirty-five, it was not old at all in this era. He was still a young man, but it was not until now that Qin's mother saw a little shadow of a young man in him.
She said again: "Don't frown. I think Third Master is very good like this. He looks young."
Mrs. Xu thought about it and felt the same. She was happy for her son's health, but she felt that such behavior was not dignified enough. She turned back and frowned and curled her lips from time to time when she walked a short distance upstairs. As she said, this was not dignified enough.
In the small farm behind the mountain, Su Yi watched the two children drink the mung bean soup. Because it was too sunny, they were not allowed to run around. It happened that the farm's old Cai woke up and found a small bucket for each of them. The children squatted under the shade of the tree by the pond and used the bucket to catch fish and shrimp.
Sheng Yunzhou found a fishing rod from somewhere, strung a half-earthworm dug from under the tree, and started fishing leisurely like an old man.
The water was shallow at the edge of the pond, so even if the children accidentally fell in, they would not be afraid of drowning. Su Yi watched for a while, then lay down in a recliner under the shade of the tree, covered her face with a large cattail leaf fan, closed her eyes and took a nap.
He was not really asleep, and from time to time he would say a few words to Sheng Yunzhou, or he would be pestered by the children to get credit,
so he had to get up to take a look at the small fish and shrimp that accidentally got into their buckets. Old Cai stayed in his rooms, not daring to come out to disturb them. When he just woke up, he heard some noise outside, and he thought it was someone stealing vegetables. He rushed out to see, and found out that it was his boss.
To be honest, although he had worked for the Sheng family for many years, he only saw this boss a few times a year, and even if he saw him, he would only look at him from a distance. In his opinion, the uncle Gu in the house was the most serious and glorious person, not to mention that this person was Uncle Gu's boss, so wasn't that more majestic than the majestic people?
Old Cai was very familiar with dealing with rough guys who came to grow vegetables, but he got stage fright when he saw these "big shots" in his eyes.
Besides, he couldn't figure out why the big boss came to this dusty place on such a hot day. Even if he wanted to fish, there were cleaner places. Now those two kids were making trouble nearby, how could any fish be willing to bite the hook?
He watched from the window for a long time, and saw that the boss didn't catch any fish, and he was worried about him.
But from the other party's appearance, he was in a good mood. He always turned around to talk to the lady with a smile on his face.
Old Cai was puzzled. He hadn't heard that their big boss got married and had children, so whose were the two kids running around now?
He also heard one of them calling the young lady "Mom", and the boss looked at the young lady as if he was looking at his own wife. Could it be that he was so uninformed that he didn't know that the boss's child could already make soy sauce?
In a blink of an eye, half a day passed, and just as Lao Cai said, Sheng Yunzhou didn't catch a single fish. Instead, the two children caught a few finger-sized fish fry, which they happily held in their arms and said they would take them home to raise.
Not long ago, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a few dark clouds floated in the sky, strong winds blew on the ground, and thunderstorms came.
Summer rain always comes quickly and violently. Several people only had time to run to the yard in front of the house before the big fish fell down. With only a few steps left, their hair was wet.
The two children shouted and rushed up the stairs. They stood under the eaves and giggled, thinking it was quite interesting.
Su Yi turned to look at Sheng Yunzhou, and just then a drop of water fell from the tip of his hair, landing on the tip of his nose without any deviation
, and broke into many petals. It was a very normal scene, but seeing the raindrops on his head, his hair, which was always neatly combed back, now limply stuck to his forehead, looking like a rare wolf, just like a drowned chicken running around in the rain but still getting soaked. Su Yi couldn't help laughing.
Sheng Yunzhou rakes his hair with his fingers, and realizes that it is too late to save his image. Seeing the big and two small ones laughing so hard that they fall all over the place, he feels helpless and can only tolerate a smile.
When the Sheng family drove to pick them up, they saw them standing in a row under the eaves. Their heads and bodies were all wet, but they were all laughing more happily than each other, as if it was not raining from the sky, but gold.
When they got home, they were immediately rushed back to their rooms to take a shower. Mother Qin made ginger tea and waited for them to come downstairs, and each of them drank a cup.
It was a rare leisurely afternoon. The heavy rain outside blocked the road. A room full of people sat on the sofa in the living room. Two children stood in the middle, their faces still flushed. Sheng Hengrong used his hands and feet to gesture their great achievements today. Su Li'an would occasionally retort a few words to prevent him from stealing all the limelight.
Having just taken a shower and wrapped in comfortable clothes, Su Yi felt more and more comfortable. She leaned on the sofa, watching the two kids bragging with a smile on her face, wondering whether she should expose the bragging of the two kids.
The seat next to her sank slightly. She turned her head and saw that it was Sheng Yunzhou who sat down. He brought a dessert plate from the kitchen and placed it in front of her with juice.
"Thank you." Su Yi smiled slightly, picked up a matcha puff and put it in her mouth, whispering, "Look at the two of them, they are bragging too much."
It happened that Sheng Hengrong said that he caught a very big fish with a small bucket, but because it was too big to bring back, he let it go. Su Li'an said that the one he caught was the biggest one. The two almost quarreled because of the dispute over the biggest fish.
Sheng Yunzhou smiled and said, "It's just childish talk. It's good that they are happy to say it."
Su Yi curled her lips and said, "You are so young and already bragging. When you grow up, won't you be full of lies to deceive girls?"
Sheng Yunzhou wisely didn't continue to refute, and picked a piece of cream cookie from the plate and gave it to her.
With food, Su Yi put aside the matter of educating children. Anyway, she didn't really think that it was a big deal for such a small child to brag a few words. She just wanted to tease them because she was bored.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the other adults present exchanged glances privately.
Ms. Xu, Qin's mother and others were fine. They were used to the scene, and they didn't say anything except being secretly happy. Lin Luoluo felt a little embarrassed.
In her eyes, Sheng Yunzhou is an elder, and Su Yi can now be considered her friend. The two of them stood together, and their words and actions were intimate in a way that others could not interfere with. If she looked at them for a second longer, she felt as if she had accidentally seen someone else's privacy, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Listening to the noisy voices of the two children, eating delicious food, and surrounded by people who were all kind and friendly, despite the storm outside, the house seemed so warm, Su Yi's eyebrows relaxed, her mouth curled up, and she felt that such time could be longer.
But before she finished thinking, her expression froze, and when she closed her eyes and opened them again, she was already in the void.
Maotuan took shape and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Yiyi?"
Suyi's face still had the gentleness she had when she came out of that room, but there was a hint of coldness in the corners of her eyes. "Someone has touched the barrier, I need to go out for a while."
Maotuan was startled and immediately asked, "What about this world?"
Suyi knew that if she left, her identity in this world would be considered dead by default. Maotuan had a way to complete the plot, but the character Suyi was missing. Didn't she disappear from the original book a long time ago?
But thinking of the people in the room just now, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there a way to stop time at the moment I left?"
"Yes, there is, but doing so will consume your own abilities."
"Let's do it this way." Suyi decided immediately and left without waiting for Maotuan to say anything else.
It had not been long since she last entered the Mirror of Samsara and the Demon Realm, and Su Yi's territory had not been destroyed much, but the entire cave was filled with a smell of decay that did not belong to her.
She originally thought that a demon had come to steal her territory, but when she walked outside the magic circle and saw the dark, shapeless mass on the hall, she realized that it was not an external enemy, but an internal thief.
The demon still had a faint smell of the old demon servant, but it was more chaotic and more smelly than before. If a person with an undetermined mind smelled such a smell, he would probably be possessed by the demon.
The old demon servant was ultimately harmed by his own greed and devoured too many other demons. With his own cultivation, he was simply unable to control them. Now the miasma of those evil creatures broke through his body, and he had become a dead thing that only knew how to devour greedily and had no self-awareness.
Su Yi had defeated many such opponents before, and she was slightly relieved to see that this time the invader was this kind of thing. Just as she was thinking about the best response plan to avoid the stench from getting on herself, not far away, the cave belonging to the demon wolf suddenly erupted with a wave.
Su Yi looked over intently, and the stone door of the cave opened from the inside, and the demon wolf walked out with steady steps.
It had only been a few months since the last time the two of them were in seclusion, but when Su Yi saw him, she felt as if she was in another world.
The Demon Wolf glanced at her, and his cold beast eyes seemed to flash with guilt, but he immediately looked at the mess in the hall with a chill. He took a few steps closer and stood in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi squinted at his back. The Samsara Mirror was her magic weapon. After the time was frozen, the Demon Wolf forced his way out of it, and he was bound to suffer some internal injuries. Why was he blocking her at this time? Did he think he could show off his power just because he was big?
Su Yi kicked him.
What the author has to say: The Demon Wolf: aggrieved, turned around and beat up the invader.
The invader: even more aggrieved.
