Chapter 52 That - Gunshot Wound
In the Lingbao space.
The little dumpling was wearing a white Hanfu costume, with a round head and a round face, and looked like a little scholar in an ancient academy.
She held rice paper and a brush in her hand.
Following closely behind Chi Wan step by step.
Whatever Chi Wan said, she wrote it down carefully in the notebook.
There is actually no ink on the brush.
The words that appear on the rice paper are actually the result of the spiritual power in this space.
Even without a brush.
The little girl only had to move her fingers and words would appear.
Everything we do now.
It was more like a little game between Xiaotuanzi and Chi Wan, like playing house.
"One thousand kilograms of rice... two thousand kilograms of wheat... eight hundred kilograms of potatoes..."
The little girl repeated what Chi Wan said silently while shaking the brush in her hand.
His head tilted.
Asked curiously.
"Master, what use is there in memorizing these things?"
Chi Wan answered distractedly while counting.
"Once you have a clear calculation, it will be easier to sell it. After you sell it, you can get a lot of money."
money? !
The little dumpling who has been living in the Lingbao space has no concept of "money".
She blinked curiously and asked.
"Master, what can you do with the money?"
"With money, I can buy more things, wear better clothes, live in a better house. I can do many, many wonderful things."
"Will it be more powerful than here, or even in the Lingbao space?"
The little dumpling asked innocently.
This question actually stunned Chi Wan.
People always pursue fame, wealth and fortune, but in the end they cannot escape old age, sickness and death.
Some people even pray to gods just to increase their lifespan.
Compared with the magical Lingbao space, no matter how much money you have, it is not worth mentioning.
There is absolutely no point in comparing the two.
The reason why we are human beings is also because of these worldly troubles and pursuits.
Chi Wan put aside the things around her for a while.
She squatted down.
He looked at the cute little dumpling with gentle eyes.
Just like her mother, she explained it in detail.
"Little Dumpling, the world outside is completely different from the Lingbao space. There is not so much food, nor spiritual spring water. Everything needs to be obtained through labor and purchased with money."
“Doesn’t that sound hard?”
"But in the outside world, we will meet different people, relatives, lovers, friends... Working hard with these people, making money together, and living a happy life together will give us a different kind of satisfaction."
Relatives...
spouse……
friend……
These familiar but unfamiliar words were like falling stones in the little dumpling's heart.
Ripples are forming on the calm surface of the lake.
She has lived for thousands of years, but has always been alone.
The only person he had seen was Chi Wan.
When Chi Wan gently touched her face...
When Chi Wan picked cherries and fed them to her...
When Chi Wan couldn't wait to share the happy things with her...
And the blood essence grass they planted together...
Little Dumpling waters the plants carefully every day.
Is this what she meant by "satisfaction"?
Little Dumpling's eyes were confused, and he seemed to understand some of what he heard.
Chi Wan comforted him, "Little girl, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now. After a long time, you will definitely understand."
But if you are always alone, how can you explain it clearly?
For the first time, the little girl began to be curious about the outside world.
I was curious about the man who was talking to Chi Wan, and also curious about the different people and things that Chi Wan mentioned...
…
The next day.
When Chi Wan had breakfast and was about to leave.
Huo Nanchuan still didn't let go.
The man's thick black eyebrows were furrowed.
He said worriedly, "How about I go with you? Going to the county town and back is not an easy task, even if we ride a bicycle."
Chi Wan waved again and again.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Huo Nanchuan, don't you really believe in my ability? Just relax and take care of your own things."
Between the eyebrows.
Flying with confidence.
Huo Dongzhi and Huo Chuchun, who were standing by, also looked over with curiosity after hearing their voices.
One second.
Chi Wan moved closer to Huo Nanchuan's ear and whispered softly.
"You can't cheat. You clearly promised to let me go alone last night."
Chi Wanke put in a lot of effort to get Huo Nanchuan's "promise".
The two of them exchanged glances.
There was an ambiguous feeling in his eyes.
They both knew it well, and some images flashed through their minds, making their faces feel hot.
Chi Wan's words.
It also completely blocked Huo Nanchuan's mouth.
No matter how worried he was, he didn't dare to refuse.
Just keep reminding me.
"Be careful on the road. If you feel tired, stop more often to rest."
"At noon. If you're not back by then, I'll go find you."
"Did you bring your belongings? Did you bring enough money? Do you remember the way back?"
Chi Wan felt hot after hearing this.
She said jokingly while laughing.
"Okay, okay, you make me sound like Xiaochun. Young people can't go out alone."
Huo Nanchuan heard this.
There was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
He always consciously felt that Chi Wan was very fragile and weak, and needed more care from him.
I'm afraid this desire to protect will never change in my lifetime.
Even Huo Chuchun started talking.
"Sister-in-law, my brother takes care of you much more carefully than he does me. He never worried so much when I went to the county town to attend the market with the children in the village before."
As soon as these words came out.
Chi Wan's smile became more and more beautiful.
Huo Nanchuan pursed his lips and maintained a calm expression.
I checked it back and forth several times.
The cloth bag containing the watch was stuffed into Chi Wan's pocket.
Finally we set off.
…
Although Chi Wan had only been to the county town once, she remembered clearly the winding alleys that Huo Nanchuan took her through last time.
It is not convenient to ride a bicycle in the alley.
She just pushed it.
One turn after another.
Went around for a while.
Finally we arrived at Zheng Kui’s dilapidated courtyard.
No need to knock.
The shabby wooden door was open, and you could see the scene in the yard through the middle.
Zheng Kui was moving things in the yard.
The already crowded small yard was piled with more scrap metal, many of which were rusted and moldy.
Chi Wan couldn't recognize what many of the things were.
Zheng Kui was doing a rough sorting and classification, sweating profusely, and he didn't even put on a shirt.
Show off his bronze muscles.
Just keep working.
Chi Wan took a quick glance and saw some scars on Zheng Kui's body.
The back, the sides... all of them.
One by one.
