Shen Mo stroked his forehead lightly, indicating a headache. He looked at the blue cloth clothes scattered on the ground and said, "Miss, I buried that bottle. It looks like it must be something very important. Things like ashes should be buried as soon as possible."
Jing Zhi paused for a moment, staring blankly at Shen Mo's pure eyes, and said, "You...you buried my second brother's ashes in the soil..."
Originally, she wanted to get away from everything in Kyoto, find a small mountain village, and live a simple life. In fact, her elder brother and father were not missing, but were killed by the Jinyiwei. She witnessed everything with her own eyes, but could only cover her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
A tall tree attracts the wind; she has known this since she was a child.
Shen Mo looked at her empty eyes, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, saying, "Girl, you don't need to be sad. People always have to look forward."
Her eyes were already filled with tears, but Jing Zhi still gritted her teeth, forced the tears back, and said stubbornly, "None of your business is my business.
I will compensate you for the damaged items."
Shen Mo crossed his arms and said teasingly, "Miss, the banknotes on you have been soaked and rotted by water."
Jing Zhi's eyes widened, and without hesitation, she threw away the blanket wrapped around her body, not caring at all about her legs being exposed to the air. Her eyes looked as if she wanted to eat someone. This time, she directly grabbed Shen Mo's hair and said, "What did you say! All my money is rotten!"
Although Shen Mo was grabbed by Jing Zhi's hair, he still smiled calmly and said, "You look small, but you are quite strong."
Jing Zhi felt that if she continued to stay with Shen Mo, she would definitely vomit blood and die, so she picked up a robe at random, wrapped her legs with it, and hopped out of the inner room like a rabbit.
Shen Mo looked at her thin back with a half-smile, and when he turned his palm, a stack of intact banknotes was quietly lying in his palm.
When Shen Mo finished tidying up the house, the sun had just set. The sunset in the sky seemed to be burning red, so gorgeous. Shen Mo leaned against the door, looking lazily at the girl who was sitting there in a daze. There was no spirit in his eyes, only a coldness.
Shen Mo raised his eyes slightly, walked silently to Jing Zhi's side, and said calmly, "Miss Jing, your second brother must want you to live happily."
Jing Zhi came back to her senses. Even the setting sun was still a bit dazzling. She stretched out her hand to block the afterglow. She stood up with a heavy face, stretched her legs that had already sore, and said, "Thank you, Master Shen, for rescuing me. If there is a chance, Jing Zhi will thank you very much."
Shen Mo smiled coldly, "Now you have a chance to repay me."
Jing Zhi was puzzled. "To be honest, I'm penniless right now. I'm naturally unwilling to be married to you."
Shen Mo raised a sinister smile and said, "I'm going to carry you back. My legs are sore. Why don't you massage my legs first?"
As he spoke, Shen Mo lay diagonally on the couch, his eyes and eyebrows showing a hint of frivolity. Jing Zhi hesitated and said, "The clothes I'm wearing are really uncomfortable. Can you go to the village and find me some suitable clothes?"
Her watery eyes held a hint of pleading, which softened Shen Mo's heart. He no longer had the intention to tease her and simply pointed to the room to the west. "In that room are the clothes sent by the aunt next door. Go and see if you can wear them."
In fact, Shen Mo bought these clothes at the market yesterday, but he was a dull person and naturally refused to admit it.
Jing Zhi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curved up and he said, "Thank you."
