Unripe fruit
The two of them spent a whole day strolling around Datong City like tourists. They returned to the hotel with full bellies and had a good night's rest.
Early the next morning, Wu Siqi came to the hotel alone to have breakfast. There was some fatigue in her eyes. The two people, who had tasted the sweetness of the food, tossed and turned until the early morning before they were willing to go to sleep.
In the early morning, she saw the kitten sleeping soundly and let her continue sleeping. The kitten didn't react when someone took her away, and she didn't react when someone changed her into pajamas. She was completely in a coma.
If this person hadn't occasionally mumbled her name, she would have been a little worried.
The food here is quite salty and she had a poor appetite in the early morning, so she just had a bowl of white porridge and sat down in a corner with a distracted look.
Wu Siqi held the spoon in one hand and stirred the porridge randomly. Her eyes flickered as she looked at it. She spread out her other palm, and the lines on it began to become more and more blurred.
Not only that, her life line also began to fade. She didn't know how long she had been looking at it. When she came to her senses, she found that the corners of her lips had unconsciously risen.
After half a bowl of porridge, the phone rang. It was Cat Head calling you. She picked up the phone and said, "Xiao Wu~ Where have you been?"
Wu Siqi replied softly: "In the restaurant downstairs, what do you want to eat?"
"Rou Rou!" The person on the other end of the phone turned over, and the sound of rustling quilts was heard.
"Okay, I got it. Be good and get up and take a shower. I'll be back after you're done." Wu Siqi picked up the bowl of porridge and put it in the recycling bin, walking towards the food counter while speaking.
Yi Ning flipped over and jumped up, "Okay, hurry up, I shower quickly."
"I know." Wu Siqi held his phone in one hand and said to the waiter, "Hello, please pack me a mutton siomai and roujiamo. Here is the room card."
"I want two servings of siomai~" Her voice on the phone echoed from the bathroom, followed by the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
Wu Siqi: "One more siomai, thank you."
The sound of water began to be heard on the phone. Wu Siqi took the packing bag and room card and thanked him again, "I'm going back now. I'm hanging up first."
There were many people using the elevator in the morning, some checking in, some checking out. Everyone was pulling their suitcases, and one elevator couldn't accommodate many people. Wu Siqi had to wait for two elevators before he could get to his room.
She opened the door of the room with her packed bag in her hand, sat down on the chair, put her hands on the back of the chair, leaned her head on them, and looked at the visitor with bright eyes.
Wu Siqi raised his lips and put the takeaway bag on the table. "The elevator was a little slow. I thought you would still be taking a shower when we got back."
Yi Ning chuckled, turned around, unpacked the food and started eating breakfast. She ate quickly but not in a hurry, and finished the simple breakfast in no time.
Wu Siqi took out a tissue to wipe the greasy spots from the corners of her mouth and asked her, "Where do you want to go today?"
The kitten didn't answer. She grabbed her hand that was wiping her mouth and pulled her into her arms. After eating, she had the energy to throw a tantrum.
Wu Siqi exclaimed as she pulled him onto her lap. He subconsciously raised his hand to avoid elbowing her. "What's wrong?"
Yi Ning buried himself in her clothes, breathing in her scent deeply, his hands tightly clasping her slender waist. "I just woke up and couldn't see Xiaowu. I was a little scared."
Wu Siqi's eyebrows, which were raised in shock, dropped down, and he smiled and hugged her back, "I'm sorry, I will wait until you wake up before getting up next time." He gently smoothed her hair with his palm.
She uttered a muffled "hmm" sound for a very long time, acting like a spoiled brat without any scruples. She wanted Xiaowu to coax her.
Wu Siqi's eyes were full of tenderness, and he coaxed her with great patience.
She said: "I will always be here, I will never leave you, I will go everywhere with you."
She added, "Don't be afraid, dear," and gently stroked her back.
The two hugged each other for a long time, and Wu Siqi kept talking to himself to coax her. Yi Ning tilted his head back and covered her lips with his mouth, "Xiao Wu, you are so nice."
She was startled by the sudden collision and her eyes were slightly stunned. After feeling the warmth between her lips, she curled the corners of her mouth gently, then she closed her eyes and carefully felt the beauty.
Yi Ning noticed that the other person was having difficulty breathing, so she reluctantly separated the kiss and stared at him for a long time. She licked her wet lips and said, "I want to take you home."
Seeing the beauty's confusion, she explained, "A few years ago, Meng Meng and I were active here for a while. I bought a piece of land from humans next to the mountain where I gathered spirits and built a house. Let's live there."
Wu Siqi arched his eyebrows and promised her: "Okay."
Yi Ning turned around with the luggage bag and urged Wu Siqi: "Xiao Wu, hurry up~"
Wu Siqi agreed, but he still searched the hotel room carefully before closing the door to prevent the clumsy little kid from leaving important things behind.
Yi Ning took her to a nearby shopping mall to buy a lot of daily necessities, filling up a whole car trunk. She said: After the house was built, she didn't have time to see it because she was transferred away on an emergency mission. There was nothing in it except the necessary furniture.
Fastening her seat belt, Yi Ning drove out of the city. There was less traffic in the suburbs, so she drove more casually, steering with one hand. Wu Siqi glanced at her posture and said nothing.
The scenery outside the window gradually turned green. The farmland was full of green crops, waiting for the arrival of autumn to ripen.
After sowing, the seeds will sprout. The tender shoots have to survive the eating of spring insects and the years of floods or droughts. They have to go through many hardships before they can bear fruit. However, as long as the fruit does not fall to the ground, we will not know whether it is good or bad.
She thought so as she looked sideways at the fields that were receding.
The location of Yi Ning Gathering Spirits is remote, with barren mountains and steep cliffs. No one has been willing to develop it for hundreds of years. She drove for more than two hours before she stopped on a flat concrete ground.
She unbuckled her seatbelt and said to Wu Siqi, "The road behind us is blocked. We'll have to walk for a few minutes. Let's go open the door first. Let Xiaozhi and the others move these things slowly."
Yi Ning carried the luggage bag in his left hand and held Wu Siqi's hand with his right hand as they walked across a short bridge that was only wide enough for pedestrians. A stream gurgled under the bridge, and a clear mountain spring flowed through a small round hole under the bridge. The scattered water nourished the earth.
Although the place is remote and cars cannot pass through, the road is not difficult to walk on. It is paved with stone bricks and earth stones. Walking on it with the mountain forest scenery, Wu Siqi had the illusion that he had accidentally entered the Peach Blossom Spring.
It is very narrow at first, but then it becomes passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes open.
The house of the Wuling people appeared before my eyes.
White walls, black tiles, painted wooden doors, three rooms with flat roofs and green bricks, this was the appearance of the old Lai family house where they lived for a long time.
Wu Siqi stood in front of the door in a daze, frowned slightly, sighed softly in his heart, and let her lead him in.
When she pushed open the door, the dust inside rushed out with the flow of air. She was blinded for a moment and coughed twice due to choking. Yi Ning raised her hand and waved it in front of her, using her magic power to create a small wind to blow the dust and smoke out of the house.
Wu Siqi looked at the dust in the room and put his hands on his hips. "Looks like we have a lot of work to do."
This place was sparsely populated, and the two of them used the paper-controlling technique unscrupulously. The small 2D robots moved the items in the car with a grunt, and there were also many small paper people cleaning the house.
It was sunny when I arrived, and by the time I had simply cleaned up and made it habitable, the sun had already set. Although the exterior remains the same, all the necessary modern products are still there, including electric lights and electrical appliances, and incandescent lamps dispel the darkness of the night.
Yi Ning patted the dust off his hands and asked, "Xiao Wu, are you hungry? I'll cook for you."
"I'll help you. It'll be faster if two of us do it." Wu Siqi concentrated on wiping the things in his hands and responded to her with his head down.
A solitary lamp hung in the night as the two of them prepared ingredients in the kitchen. Yi Ning assigned Wu Siqi some of the tasks of picking and washing vegetables, while he himself cut the fresh beef that he had bought that morning.
Wu Siqi stood in front of the pool, picking beans and throwing the broken bean segments into the water. The sound of "dong, dong, dong" and the crisp sound of the kitchen knife pressing against the chopping board formed a soft melody.
Yi Ning: "Xiaowu, do you want it spicy or less spicy?" She asked, looking at the little pepper lying in front of her.
Wu Siqi, who was washing beans, shook his head. "I don't want it that spicy, but you can eat it spicy if you want."
Yi Ning nodded, cut only half a chili pepper into pieces, and prepared the ingredients. Wu Siqi was then asked to leave the kitchen again.
I was bored and the house was basically cleaned. The rest was cleaned by a 2D robot so I didn't have to do it myself.
Wu Siqi walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
It looks the same as before. The installation of water and electricity has destroyed some of the ancient charm, but it doesn't matter. Wu Siqi looked up at the half-moon in the sky. Such a starry sky cannot be seen in the city.
No wonder she insisted on buying two folding chairs that can be reclined. It would be nice to lie in the yard and watch the stars.
Wu Siqi was so busy cleaning the whole day that he had no time to look at his phone. When he took it out to check the time, he found that there was only 2G network here. In this corner forgotten by the world, there was not even modern network.
"Xiaowu, it's time to eat!" Yi Ning called her from inside the house. Turning back inside, he saw her bringing three steaming hot dishes to the plain black wooden table. Wu Siqi walked into the kitchen to help serve the rice.
Yi Ning's cooking skills are very good. She can make simple dishes look delicious and fragrant. Wu Siqi praised her generously: "Guaiguai is really amazing. It looks delicious."
The kitten's nose turned up in the air because of the praise. "That's who I am." She put a piece of fried beef into the bowl of the person opposite her with her chopsticks and said, "Beef won't taste good if it's cold. Eat it quickly."
"Oh, you can speak English too." After saying that, Wu Siqi put the beef and rice into his mouth. It was a little spicy, but very delicious.
Yi Ning also started to eat, and said proudly: "Of course, when I have nothing to do, I will find something to learn. People may not be strong in themselves, but their brains are very powerful. If I want to cultivate immortality on my own, I need to be close to people and learn more to become smarter. I am not smart enough."
"You are very smart." Wu Siqi patted her head gently with his free hand.
Yi Ning rubbed his head against the hand and said coquettishly, "You're not as smart as Xiaowu. Xiaowu, you only read the book a few times and you understand the mysteries inside. I've read for four hundred years and I've only learned the basics."
"Everyone has their own strengths." Wu Siqi said with a faint smile, then withdrew his hand and continued to eat.
During the meal, the two chatted about some interesting things and slowly finished their meal.
Wu Siqi was still the one washing the dishes, and Yi Ning continued to clean up the rest. He had originally wanted to let this guy take a shower first, but right after he finished washing the dishes, he was pushed into the bathroom with his clothes on.
The bathroom is not designed according to the old style, it is very modern, with a water heater, toilet, and washbasin. It is a very thoughtful cat.
After washing off the dust on his body, Wu Siqi urged Yi Ning to take a shower quickly.
She dried her hair and spread out two folding chairs in the yard. She turned on a small lamp, lay on them and looked at the stars for a while, then propped up her head and read Lai Buyi Lu in her hand.
"Xiao Wu?" Yi Ning came out to look for her, wiping his hair.
The moon was bright and the stars were shining brightly. Under the dome lay the person dear to her heart. Just like in the past, she liked to find a place to read lazily, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes counting on her fingers.
After four hundred years of waiting, the fruits have finally come.
