Chapter 34 Will You Marry Me? (4000 words)
The girl's first attempt at cooking ended in disastrous failure.
And he almost burned down the kitchen.
Fortunately, Xiao Mo reacted in time and put out the fire in the kitchen.
In fact, even if there was no fire, Xiao Mo felt that the food Bai Ruxue cooked this time was not fit for human consumption.
Because in Bai Rushue's impression, the so-called "cooked" is really just cooked.
Bai Rushue's original plan was to boil the water and then throw the rabbit and pheasant directly into the pot to cook.
But when people boil live fish, they don't really just throw the live fish into the water to boil.
However, seeing Bai Ruxue lowering her head and blaming herself, Xiao Mo did not scold her. Instead, he encouraged her, "It's okay. I'll cook today's meal."
"Xiao Mo, I'm sorry. I will definitely learn how to cook well in the future." Bai Ruxue raised her head, her eyes misty, as if she would cry if Xiao Mo scolded her one more time.
Xiao Mo nodded: "No rush, take your time."
Xiao Mo took the rabbit and pheasant out of the pot and began to process the ingredients.
Bai Ruxue watched how Xiao Mo cooked to see if there was anything he needed help with.
The girl saw Xiao Mo gut the rabbit and chicken, wash them clean, and finally cut them into small pieces and stir-fry them with onions, ginger and garlic.
Only then did she understand that humans were so particular about cooking.
After that, Bai Ruxue began to learn to cook the human way.
Bai Ruxue's master was the village chief's wife, Aunt Chen.
As for why Bai Rushue got in touch with Aunt Chen.
This is all because of the village chief’s second daughter, Wang Ying.
Wang Ying heard that a fairy sister had come to Brother Xiao's house and was so beautiful, so she came to see her.
Bai Ruxue was originally simple-minded, so she quickly became friends with the little girl Wang Ying.
When Wang Ying heard Fairy Sister say that she wanted to learn how to cook, she directly brought Bai Rushue to her mother.
Faced with the request of such a beautiful girl, Aunt Chen naturally felt embarrassed to refuse.
Then Bai Rushue became Aunt Chen's "disciple".
Aunt Chen is also very enthusiastic. She comes to Xiao Mo's yard every day to teach Bai Rushue how to cook.
At the beginning, Aunt Chen was quite patient.
After all, when Aunt Chen looked at Bai Rushue's white, tender and delicate little hands, she knew that Bai Rushue must have been a lady from a wealthy family in the past, and her fingers had never been touched by women.
So Aunt Chen had already prepared herself mentally, knowing that this young lady definitely didn't know anything.
But gradually, Aunt Chen became irritable.
"No, no! You have to scale the fish first! And take out the internal organs! You can't put it directly into the pot!"
“Sorry.”
"Why did you put so much chili in it? Are you trying to kill Xiao Mo with the spicy food?"
"sorry!"
"Stop adding salt! Doesn't salt cost money? Are you going to choke Xiao Mo to death?"
“I didn’t mean to do that.”
"Okay, okay, put the cilantro in now. Xiao Mo likes cilantro."
"That's enough! Coriander is for seasoning, not for you to stir-fry it like cabbage!"
Every noon, when Xiao Mo was reading in the yard, he could hear Aunt Chen scolding Bai Rushue.
Every time Aunt Chen would leave cursing, saying "You're so stupid, I'll never teach you again."
Every time Bai Ruxue was scolded by Aunt Chen and cried,
But Aunt Chen came again the next day, and Bai Rushue wiped away her tears and continued to learn how to cook seriously.
It's simple. Although Bai Rushue is clumsy, she is pretty and studies hard.
Besides, Aunt Chen has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. After she calmed down, she thought of this pretty girl again.
As the days go by.
Aunt Chen scolded Bai Rushue less and less often.
One afternoon three months later, Aunt Chen didn't scold Bai Rushue at all.
It was at noon that day, when they saw Xiao Mo picking up his chopsticks, their eyes were very nervous.
"Delicious." After taking a bite of rabbit meat, Xiao Mo nodded.
"That's great!" Bai Ruxue jumped up happily.
Aunt Chen couldn't help wiping away her tears.
She finally graduated, which was not easy.
In addition to cooking, Xiao Mo's clothes were also washed by Bai Rushue.
Every morning, Bai Ruxue would take her and Xiao Mo's clothes to the river to wash.
The aunties and grandmas in the village were also very enthusiastic and taught Bai Rushue how to wash clothes clean.
After a few visits, the aunts and grandmas became familiar with Bai Rushue.
He even said some dirty words to Bai Rushue from time to time.
But Bai Rushue didn't understand at all.
The aunts and grandmas looked at Bai Rushue's confused look, without any explanation, they just smiled.
Bai Ruxue was very confused, so she ran back to ask Xiao Mo.
"Xiao Mo, why did Aunt Wang say men have three legs? But you only have two legs? Where's your third leg? Show me."
"Xiao Mo, why did Aunt Chen say that I'm easy to bear and that as long as I get pregnant, my family won't starve to death?"
"Xiao Mo, Auntie Sun asked me if you have ever sneaked into my room at night and done something bad to me. What is that bad thing? Are you going to come into my room tonight?"
Faced with Bai Ruxue's question, Xiao Mo didn't know how to answer and could only keep silent.
Sometimes Bai Rushue would return to the mountain to visit her sister, bringing her some delicious persimmon cakes from the village and telling her some interesting things she had encountered.
When the weather was hot, Bai Rushue would take a fan and fan Xiao Mo. Even if she was sweating profusely, she would just wipe it off and continue fanning Xiao Mo.
When the weather is cold, Bai Rushue will crawl into Xiao Mo's bed to warm it up.
Even though Xiao Mo said it was unnecessary, Bai Ruxue insisted every time.
Buying pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books is expensive, so Bai Rushue would go hunting and then give them to Aunt Chen to help sell them.
Or maybe Bai Rushue learned from Aunt Chen to raise silkworms and weave silk.
When Bai Ruxue was feeding the silkworms, she would always say, "Silkworms, you must spin more silk~"
Because the village chief had nothing more to teach Xiao Mo.
Therefore, Xiao Mo often had to go to other places to study and listen to lectures from other teachers.
Studying requires money, but fortunately the magistrate of Qingshan County really wants to win the favor of the local scholars.
Therefore, some of the tuition fees and travel expenses for becoming a disciple can be funded by him.
When Xiao Mo went to study abroad, Bai Ruxue would follow him.
The two walked in the mountains and forests. Bai Rushue hunted for Xiao Mo, roasted food for him, and fetched water for him.
Xiao Mo just needs to move forward and study hard.
Winter is coming, and Bai Ruxue is starting to feel sleepy.
Every night, Bai Ruxue went to bed early and slept until the sun was shining on her buttocks. Then she got up in a panic and complained to Xiao Mo: "Why didn't you wake me up? I haven't washed my clothes yet."
Before she knew it, Bai Rushue became more and more skilled at washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the house, just like a virtuous wife.
It was deep winter.
Bai Rushue woke up one morning and found that her skin was covered with a layer of crystal clear snake skin.
The girl was startled and quickly looked in the mirror. She saw that there was a layer of white snake skin on her face and her eyes were gray.
"Oh no! It's time to shed its skin! What should I do?"
Bai Rushue paced back and forth in the room, her small hands tightly clutching her sleeves.
Finally, Bai Ruxue stopped, her eyes filled with determination: "Looks like we have no choice but to run!"
Bai Ruxue picked up a pen and paper and left a letter for Xiao Mo, which roughly meant "Something happened at home, my sister is sick, I have to go back to take care of her, I will be back in the spring."
Then Bai Rushue turned into a snake, quickly crawled out of the window, and climbed up the mountain.
"Ruxue. Get up. Ruxue."
It was already past noon and Bai Ruxue hadn't gotten up yet, so Xiao Mo knocked on the door. The room was empty, but there was a letter on the table and a white, crystal-clear snake skin on the floor.
After returning to the mountain, Bai Ruxue quickly slipped into the cave.
At this time, her younger sister had already hibernated. Bai Rushue lay beside her younger sister, looking at the heavy snow outside the cave, and began to feel a little worried.
"Will he starve without me cooking for him?"
"What if no one washes his clothes?"
"No one's warming his bed yet. Will he be uncomfortable?"
As Bai Rushue thought about it, her head became increasingly heavy, and she finally fell into hibernation.
In the spring, Bai Ruxue opened her eyes and shed her skin again.
When she saw her own figure, Bai Ruxue was shocked.
At this time, Bai Ruxue was already fifteen feet long and one foot thick.
The knowledge engraved in Bai Rushue's blood told her that she was no longer a snake, but a python.
He transformed into a human form. Bai Rushue looked down and found that she could not see her toes.
Walking to the edge of the pond, Bai Ruxue looked at herself in the water.
The woman has a slim and graceful figure. Her breasts are full and round under her slender shoulders, and the silk ribbon around her waist outlines a breathtaking curve. Her plump outline is faintly visible under the gauze, rising and falling slightly with her breathing, like the fragrance of warm jade.
Her waist is slender and just right to be held in one hand, just like a willow in the wind.
Beneath the skirt, two straight and long legs appear, and even under the cover of the pomegranate skirt, one can still glimpse her graceful and elegant figure.
Those peach blossom eyes were full of affection, like newly opened peach petals, with the tails slightly upturned, giving them a natural charm, as if stained with rouge, with an alluring blush.
"Is this me?"
Bai Ruxue looked at herself in the water in surprise.
She turned around and looked at her side. The curves of the woman in the water spread out like mountains.
"It looks good, but my shoulders feel so sore."
Bai Rushue frowned and supported herself with the two mountains in front of her.
"Forget it, let's go down the mountain quickly. Half a year has passed, and I don't know if Xiao Mo has eaten well."
When she went down the mountain and came to the entrance of Xiao Mo's yard, Xiao Mo was reading there as usual.
"Xiao Mo."
Bai Ruxue shouted to the man in the yard.
Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the woman in white dress outside the yard. He was stunned and it took him a long time to react: "Miss Bai?"
"If not me, then who is it?"
Bai Rushue walked into the courtyard.
But wherever Bai Ruxue went, Xiao Mo's eyes followed her.
"Why are you always looking at me? Am I weird?" Bai Ruxue felt a little embarrassed by Xiao Mo's gaze, and her body felt hot.
"No, it's just that I haven't seen you for half a year. I feel that Miss Bai has changed a lot and I can't adapt to it for a while." Xiao Mo said, retracting his gaze, "Sorry, I'm rude."
"Compared to before, has it become more beautiful or uglier?" Bai Ruxue asked playfully, as always.
"It looks better." Xiao Mo was very honest.
Ruxue used to be as pure as a girl.
Now Ruxue has grown up completely, and she is pure yet charming.
"If it's beautiful, then look at it more." Bai Ruxue's eyes curved, "If it's you, Xiao Mo, I don't mind~"
"This is still not good." Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head.
"Why not?" Bai Ruxue tilted her head. "I'm beautiful just to show you."
“.” Xiao Mo was speechless for a moment.
"Girl." Xiao Mo was thinking about how to explain, "There are still differences between men and women."
“I don’t understand.”
Bai Ruxue didn't understand.
If it were someone else, they would naturally pay attention to the differences between men and women.
But I don't hate Xiao Mo, so is there any need to be particular about this?
Xiao Mo always has some strange persistence.
unconsciously
Another two years passed.
In winter, Bai Ruxue goes up the mountain to hibernate.
Every time Bai Ruxue wakes up from hibernation, his hair becomes thicker and longer, but his appearance after transforming into a human remains unchanged.
One day, Bai Rushue went to the river to wash clothes.
I don’t know what the village aunts and uncles said to Bai Rushue.
When Bai Ruxue came back, she kept staring at Xiao Mo.
Stare at me while I eat, and peek at me while I hang out clothes.
She had nothing to do, so she sat in front of Xiao Mo and watched.
"Miss Bai, is there anything I can help you with?" Xiao Mo put down the book, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Hmm." Bai Ruxue nodded, "Xiao Mo, when will you marry me?"
"Cough cough cough" Xiao Mo was choked, "Miss Bai, what did you say?"
"I say, when will you marry me?" Bai Ruxue asked.
"Why do you ask that, Miss Bai?"
"Because Aunt Li asked me to ask~"
Bai Ruxue straightened her slender waist, and the fat mountain and the sea of snow cast a shadow on the stone table.
"Aunt Li said that I'm not married and you're not married either, and we live together every day. We're both adults, so why haven't we gotten married yet? Aunt Li said that by the time his son is your age, his grandchildren will already be helping out."
"Well." Xiao Mo thought for a moment and explained, "Miss Bai, only when two people like each other can they get married."
"But I like you?" Bai Ruxue blinked, "Don't you like me?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Then what is our relationship to Miss Bai?"
"Friend." Bai Ruxue blurted out.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "But Miss Bai, just being a friend is not enough."
"What kind of love is enough?"
Bai Ruxue felt dizzy. It turns out that there are different types of love?
"Well," Xiao Mo thought for a moment, "it's hard to say, but if Miss Bai understands one day, she will know whether she wants to marry me or not."
"Then I'll wait until the day I understand and still want you to marry me, then will you marry me?"
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the girl's peach blossom eyes tenderly:
"good."
