Chapter 3 Sound
When Jiang Jinyue has a cold face, it is easy for people to feel that he is unattainable and distant.
At this time, she had regained her appearance as a high-ranking rich lady.
After all, this was something she had been doing since she was a child, and she didn't even need to act it out. The words she said were already full of instructions.
"Please prepare another pot of bath water for me."
"Then go outside and watch." A second later, she added: "Cover your eyes with a cloth."
Don't think that the person in front of you is the biggest thief.
The man sighed and put on a helpless smile: "Miss, how can I help you see if I cover my eyes?"
Jiang Jinyue was a little unhappy. She pursed her lips and looked at him, "You figure it out yourself."
The man glanced at the big pot in the room, then looked at the little girl in front of him. He really couldn't imagine the girl sitting in the pot like Tang Monk.
He looked down at her and said, "How about I start the first job now?"
Jiang Jinyue raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
The man also raised his eyebrows like her, "Hmm?"
Jiang Jinyue hated this kind of thing the most: people would leave things unsaid and not explain themselves clearly, waiting for her to ask. However, she just didn't want to ask, and she just didn't want to let him have his way.
She wrapped her clothes tightly and walked out directly. She didn't want to take a bath or shoot the scene anymore. She wanted to take the tractor back now.
Repeated breakdowns have made her give up the desire to communicate.
Before she had taken two steps, the man strode in front of her again. This time he said directly, "I'll take you to a place where you can take a shower."
Jiang Jinyue stopped and looked him up and down.
He looked much cleaner than Ding Qingli, who had been in the village for half a month. Perhaps he really had a place to take a shower.
She nodded, tossed her handkerchief on the stove, and pointed with her chin, "Lead the way."
Bai Yuqing took a look at the handkerchief, reached out to take it, washed it again, and then wrung it dry.
Jiang Jinyue watched his movements the entire time, without a trace of embarrassment, and even a little impatiently, "I can give you money to buy 100 handkerchiefs. Now, I need to take a shower."
Bai Yuqing smiled, put the wrung-out handkerchief back into his pocket, and said, "Sorry, Boss, I kept you waiting for so long."
It was not sarcastic, and the tone was light. It was obvious that he did not take Jiang Jinyue's dissatisfaction and nitpicking to heart.
When she was about to leave, she belatedly asked, "What's your name?"
"Bai Yuqing."
"oh."
Jiang Jinyue followed him all the way, circling around on the dusty dirt road.
The place she just came in was the village entrance, where there were only staff members staying.
Now as I walked towards the village, I saw more and more villagers. They were very quiet, almost eerie.
Some of them were leaning against the wall with their arms folded and their toes crossed, while others were sitting on the stone at the door, squinting their eyes and looking at her.
"Dark, thin and short" is her impression of these people.
Bai Yuqing, who speaks the dialect and lives here, seems like a complete alien.
In addition, what makes Bai Yuqing even more unique is his civilization.
He is moral, neat and has clean eyes.
Because at this moment, these villagers were looking at her with unscrupulous eyes.
There was no kindness in that look, it was like a poisonous snake seeing its prey, wanting to eat her alive.
The younger women looked at her with disdain, while the older ones looked at her as if she were picking at pork.
The men's eyes were even more naked and straightforward, disgusting like venom sticking to their bodies.
Jiang Jinyue wanted to shrink into her down jacket, and the discomfort in her heart gradually grew.
Is murder illegal?
She couldn't stand it even if it was against the law.
Just as she was about to storm off, a hat was placed on her head, blocking the prying eyes.
The scene in front of her suddenly became dark. Perhaps because her vision was blocked, her hearing became more sensitive. She could even hear the sound of the wind.
She looked up and saw that the man who had been standing half a body length in front of her was now facing her, and the hat that was originally on his head was now on her head.
"I wash my hair every day, and the hat is clean."
Jiang Jinyue could smell it, and even the hat had the scent of soapberry.
She didn't say anything, but reached out to press down her hat. She didn't adjust the tightness of the hat, so the somewhat large hat fell down and covered her face tightly.
Because her vision was limited, she lowered her head and looked at the man's heels, following her closely.
Bai Yuqing walked in front and said, "Don't shrink back. Don't show weakness in front of them. Show the same momentum you used to hit them."
"Hmph," Jiang Jinyue sneered, still lowering his head, "These old people, I can kill them with just one blow of my stick."
"It's okay." The man said lightly.
Jiang Jinyue couldn't help but look up at him. The man was walking in front of her on the right, and she could only see the back of his head and part of his profile.
The man just has a buzz cut, unlike many people who need a hairstyle to decorate themselves, the buzz cut further highlights his superior bone structure and contours.
As if noticing her gaze, Bai Yuqing turned around, stared at her, and said, "There's no law here. You kill someone and throw a few hundred yuan at them, and they'll still be grateful. Especially these elderly people who have no labor value and are just there to increase their food rations. Their families may curse you out loud, but they'll still praise you as a good person behind your back."
The words that were told in a leisurely manner gave Jiang Jinyue goosebumps.
Here, it's like an uncivilized primitive society, where even family affection has completely disappeared...
It's so cruel.
Jiang Jinyue didn't say anything. She was still digesting these horrifying words.
Where on earth did she come from?
She looked calm, but in fact she was confused and just followed him subconsciously.
He is also from this village. Could he be a villain too?
While I was thinking about whether I was trusting this stranger too much, the stranger had already stopped.
Looking at the house in front of him, Jiang Jinyue's mouth sank, "Are you kidding me?"
"Huh?" The man was walking in front and was taking out the key to open the door when he heard the girl's fierce and cold voice. He took the key and turned to look at her.
"Did you go around in circles and bring me here again?" Isn't the house in front of me the same one as before?
Rammed earth walls and original wooden doors, exactly the same.
When the man heard this, he turned around completely, looked at her carefully, and then nodded in sudden realization, "So you are directionally challenged."
“…”
Jiang Jinyue was not stupid, but rather very smart, and she quickly realized what he meant.
She tilted her head higher and looked at him, her face calm and her heart steady. Instead, she spoke with more confidence: "That's because all the houses here are the same."
"Indeed." Jiang Jinyue snorted coldly when he heard the man admit it.
“People here don’t spend time on design; when the houses are first built, they are all carved out of the same mold.
But gradually, the east-facing wall began to fade due to being exposed to the sun every day, and the west-facing wall could only see the sunset. In a few years, the south wall faded into the color of an old photo, and the cracks on the north wall were denser than a spider web.
The small grooves carved by the raindrops and the wavy lines created by the wind erode and carve, bit by bit.
Don’t you think it’s like nature painting?
Jiang Jinyue heard the man's clear voice in her ears, like ice, but not so cold, instead it was as soft as a breeze.
It also feels a bit like the sound of fingers plucking Buddhist beads, smooth and rhythmic, with a touch of Zen.
She has a lot of properties. Her parents, brothers and sisters often give her houses. She only thinks that this house is big and that house has a good location, but she has never been like him. It is as if the house comes alive in his eyes.
Each one is unique.
The man said, then turned around and continued to open the door.
Jiang Jinyue was left looking at his back.
After he opened the door, Jiang Jinyue followed him in.
The layout of the room is the same as before.
There are two rooms on the north and south sides, and two small bedrooms on the west side.
There is also a ladder on the north side leading to the second floor.
The second floor is a bit low, like an attic in the city.
She followed him to a cabin to the west.
When she opened the door, surprise flashed in her eyes.
There was actually a bathroom inside.
A simple place that can be called a bathroom.
There is a shower head and a water pipe.
No wonder he said he could take a shower.
Bai Yuqing showed a rare hint of embarrassment. He cleared his throat and pointed at the things, saying, "These things were taken from a hotel in front of the school when it closed down. They threw away all the stuff, so I picked them up. But I washed them all, so they're very clean."
"Upstairs is a water tank I made myself. It's quite convenient for taking a cold shower, but taking a hot shower requires me to heat the water and pour it in."
"So wait a minute, I'll go get some hot water."
Jiang Jinyue nodded.
As he said that, he went to the small hut next to him, which seemed to be the kitchen.
Jiang Jinyue looked at the environment here and found it was indeed much better than the place just now.
"1,000 for a bath." Without waiting for Bai Yuqing to speak, Jiang Jinyue took the initiative to quote the price.
Bai Yuqing paused in adding hot water and looked at her.
The kettle gurgled, and he poured the water into a thermos, heated up another, and then spoke slowly:
"The richest person I've ever met was the daughter of our school principal. Her most extravagant act was treating her entire class to milk tea, spending 1,000 yuan. This story went viral in school for a long time."
"Hmm?" Jiang Jinyue looked at him with cold eyes, not understanding what was going on.
"Now, you are the richest man I have ever met."
Jiang Jinyue felt like laughing when she heard that. It was the first time she was praised for being rich in such a simple way.
But she held back, not wanting to show her weakness in front of this man. "Hmph, I might be the richest man you've ever met in your life, so you'd better provide me with services worth the money."
Bai Yuqing smiled and said, "I will definitely give you great value for money."
He deliberately emphasized the word "super".
Jiang Jinyue nodded noblely.
