Jiang Li gave a strange look and asked, puzzled, "What does it have to do with me if your sleeve is in the way?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Lu Jiming, standing next to him, couldn't help but rub his forehead with the back of his hand. He sighed and then took the initiative to play the role of a helpful assistant, saying, "Go and help my uncle roll up his sleeves."
“But…” Jiang Li glanced at her hands, which weren’t clean from cleaning the ingredients, “My hands aren’t clean either. Ayan’s clothes are quite clean. If I roll up his sleeves, won’t I get his clothes dirty?”
"He really has absolutely no romantic sense," Lu Jiming thought with a touch of pity as he looked at his uncle.
When will this journey of pursuing his wife ever end?
“Even so, you could wash your hands and then help my uncle roll up his sleeves,” Lu Jiming said in a low voice. “There’s always a way to overcome difficulties.”
"Then why don't you go?" Jiang Li retorted.
“My uncle called you, not me,” Lu Jiming couldn’t help but complain. “Besides, my hands are covered in the smell of meat, and I can’t wash them off all at once. If I make my uncle’s clothes smell like meat too, that would be bad. You just picked some vegetables, right? A quick wash will clean them up.”
Jiang Li: "..."
That makes some sense.
Jiang Li washed her hands and walked up to Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan remained in the same position as when he raised his hand.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Shiyan and said irritably, "If you don't move like that, aren't you afraid the food will burn?"
"This is for making broth. Don't worry, there's plenty of water, it won't burn easily." Lu Shiyan's lips curled up slightly. "If Jiang Jiang hadn't rolled up my sleeves earlier, my arms would probably have been too sore to cook."
Jiang Li: "!!!"
That jerk is threatening her!
He's threatening her so blatantly and nakedly!
hateful!
But what could she do?
With the food being used as hostage, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
After rolling up Lu Shiyan's sleeves, Jiang Li "considerately" asked, "Mr. Lu, do you think this is alright?"
Lu Shiyan nodded slightly, feigning modesty. "It's alright, but my back is a little itchy again. Miss Jiang, could you scratch it for me?"
Jiang Li slapped Lu Shiyan on the back, scratching him casually through his shirt, then said with a forced smile, "Are you done, Mr. Lu?"
“Hmm…” Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment, “If you put your hand in and scratch, the effect should be better.”
Jiang Li snorted, "Can't I scratch like this?"
"It's like scratching an itch through a boot; it won't be very effective," Lu Shiyan said seriously.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes, and a talisman flew from her hand and entered Lu Shiyan's body. "Is it still itchy?"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
The instant coolness and comfort, without any itching, made Lu Shiyan realize something.
He said helplessly, "Jiang Jiang, aren't you wasting a lot of talisman paper? A problem that can be solved with a simple scratch is being wasted with a whole talisman. It's not worth it."
“I have plenty of talismans, I’m not afraid of wasting them,” Jiang Li replied confidently. “Besides, thanks to you, you brought me so many writing implements. Just tinkering with those things is enough for me to draw a lot of talismans, and…”
Jiang Li couldn't help but smile again, "I've also figured out some fun talismans, like... the one I just used on you..."
Lu Shiyan's expression froze for a moment. "So, Jiang Jiang researched talismans that make people itchy?"
Otherwise, how could there be an itch-relieving talisman?
"Ayan reacted quickly," Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh. "She guessed it right away."
Lu Jiming: "..."
He seems to have discovered something extraordinary.
No wonder they say these two are a match made in heaven...
With Jiang Li's way of thinking, probably only her uncle can keep up.
"Um..." Lu Jiming tentatively extended his hand, asking curiously, "What kind of interesting talismans do you have? Tell me about them, let me broaden my horizons!"
Now that he knows about this fun thing, he's definitely going to join in the fun.
Jiang Li didn't refuse; instead, she took out several talismans and slapped them on the table next to her.
"Here are some talismans for itching, bad breath, farting, cramps, dizziness..." Jiang Li introduced them to Lu Jiming one by one. "They're not important talismans, but if someone annoys you, you can throw one out and make them lose face."
This is the inspiration she got from Jiang Xueqi.
After all, not everyone is mentally sound. When some people are deliberately trying to disgust you, but you can't really fight back, using something harmless yet incredibly annoying can be quite satisfying.
"Then..." Lu Jiming was a little confused, "Aren't there any more powerful talismans? These aren't very powerful, so we probably won't need them if we encounter danger."
“These are meant for pranks. Those with strong destructive power are naturally not included in this category.” Jiang Li said, taking out another talisman. “This is a minor thunder talisman. It still has some destructive power. If you really encounter danger, it won’t kill you, but you can still escape.”
Lu Jiming became interested. "Can I take a look?"
Jiang Li gave her a disgusted look. "Your hands are too dirty. If you touch my talisman, it might lose its effectiveness."
Lu Jiming: "..."
Lu Jiming quickly finished dealing with the things in front of him, and then carefully washed his hands.
Only after washing his hands until they smelled nice did he move in front of Jiang Li again, "Let me see that thunder talisman, I'm really curious."
Jiang Li shook her head, but still handed it to him, saying, "Be careful, don't blow yourself up."
"Shouldn't this talisman have a spell or incantation?" Lu Jiming took the talisman and said with great curiosity, "In some movies and TV shows I've seen, the old Taoist priests always recited incantations when using talismans."
"Are you equating me, a legitimate disciple of the Xuanmen sect, with those fictional characters created in movies and TV dramas?" Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat dangerous.
Lu Jiming: "..."
Okay, he misspoke.
Just as he was thinking about how to make amends, Lu Shiyan suddenly said, "We're out of cooking wine and soy sauce at home. Lu Jiming, go to the supermarket and buy some."
For the first time, Lu Jiming so desperately wanted to be Lu Shiyan's errand boy nephew.
He happily replied, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, Lu Jiming turned and ran out.
When Lu Jiming ran out of the house, he realized that he had taken Jiang Li's talisman with him.
Going back now doesn't seem like a good idea, never mind...
It's the same if you return the items to Jiang Li after you've bought them.
Lu Jiming quickly bought the items, and also picked up a few bags of his favorite snacks.
Humming a little tune, Lu Jiming left the supermarket and was suddenly pinned against the wall when he reached the corner.
A knife was pressed against his lower back, followed by a low, ruthless voice behind him, "Behave yourself if you don't want to die!"
