Conspiracy

Chapter 149 Blossoms Blooming in the Yellow Spring [The Valley]

Si Li rolled up her long sleeves, rubbed her palms eagerly, looked around, and squatted in a corner to observe.When the hot dish was served on the table, she sniffed it. As she thought before, it was really mouth-watering.Her eyes were shining, but from the bottom of her heart she didn't want to be underestimated by Jiang Wen.

Taking advantage of Jiang Wen's turning around, he drew a ladle according to the gourd, imitated his movements, and poured a spoonful of oil into the pot.At first she didn't notice that there was still water in the pot, the hot oil bubbled and splashed, and a few red spots appeared on the back of her white hands.

Swallowing the cry of pain back into his stomach, he picked up Jiang Wen's chopped vegetables and poured them into the pot, stirring them back and forth.However, more hot oil splashed out, and she panicked, jumping around on the spot, kicking out a few sparkling firewood without noticing it for a moment.Her clothes were fire and water repellent, but they hurt too much on delicate skin.

Sparks splashed everywhere, and many things were ignited instantly, and the flames spread like a 'bass'.Si Li casually picked up the water jar at the side and poured it towards the fire, but he didn't know that there were a lot of fish in the jar.
Jiang Wenben stood at the door with his arms folded, his calm mask instantly cracked, and he was dumbfounded watching this scene.He wanted to see what kind of drama this girl could make, but he didn't know that he directly destroyed his house.

At this moment, the main room was in a mess, although the fire was extinguished by Si Li, but the ground was full of stagnant water, several fish were still jumping and struggling in the pool of water, and the vegetables he had cut earlier were flying everywhere.

And the culprit who caused all this was rubbing his cheeks with an awkward smirk. After seeing him, he waved his little hands in a panic and explained, "Mr. Jiang, I just want to help you hehehe. I really didn't mean it!"

Jiang Wen looked at her, swallowed the words he was going to tease her, and turned it into a sigh, "There is a basin of water on the stone table in the courtyard, which can be used for washing. You go out first, and I will leave it here."

"Um, why don't I clean up here first?"

She asked cautiously, but receiving Jiang Wen's gradually unfriendly eyes, she immediately let go of her feet and ran out.

"Slow down, pay attention to your feet, yes"

'thump'

'boom'

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"There are stone steps." Jiang Wen finished speaking with black lines all over his head, and asked outside, "A Li, are you okay?"

"Ah? I'm fine!"

Hearing her loud response outside, Jiang Wen sighed again, resigned to his fate and started to clean up.

in the courtyard.

Si Li rubbed her sore buttocks, got up from the ground, looked around, and saw that there was indeed a wooden basin on the stone table.

She stepped back and forth, staring at the reflection on the water, and then let out a scream.

Jiang Wen ran from the house, only to see Si Li pointing forward in horror. He thought that danger was coming, and there was a faint light flickering on his right hand behind his back.Just when he was about to speak, Si Li rushed over from there, wrapped his arms around his waist and refused to let go.

"Wow! It's scary!"

Jiang Wen released his spiritual consciousness, but he didn't notice any strangers approaching.

"Ali, what's wrong?"

She raised her dirty little face, wiped it with the back of her hand, and tears fell down her cheeks, "My face is ruined!"

In just a few hours, his sighs may not be as many as in the first half of his life.

Jiang Wen held her hand, sat her down on the stone bench, said "wait for me", went back to the room and took out a handkerchief, soaked it in water, and wiped it carefully for her.

Si Li looked at his brows and eyes, her eyes gradually blurred, and her heartbeat could be heard endlessly, but she didn't understand what it meant.

She held his wrist, "Master Jiang, I seem to be sick."

"Sick? Will the hairpin get sick too?"

He tore her little hands off her face, turned around behind her, unraveled her messy bun, inserted his fingers into her hair, and re-styled it.

"It's jumping so fast here." She pointed to the heart, with a worried expression on her face, and then stroked her hot cheeks, "It's so hot here too."

Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing, she lowered her head and sobbed, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm a burden?"

Although he didn't answer, the movement of his hands didn't stop either.

After a while, after cleaning his hands, he put the only remaining plate of fish in front of her, and then arranged two bowls of rice and two pairs of chopsticks.

"Eat."

Si Li picked up the chopsticks in confusion, thinking that they would be very unfamiliar, but unexpectedly she was very skilled in the movements of her hands.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wen didn't say much.

Pick up a piece of fish and taste it, it is tender and smooth, delicate and has no fishy smell, sweet and spicy, with endless aftertaste.

"It's really delicious!"

"Then eat more." Jiang Wen spoiled with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Si Li forgot the previous embarrassment, picked up the chopsticks and ate heartily, her cheeks puffed up, and she didn't care about eating slowly as a daughter.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen got up and went back and forth, and came with a bamboo tube in his hand, looking at it about the size of a palm.

Si Li took it from his hand, "What is this?"

"A clear spring in the mountains."

Si Li didn't doubt that there was him, so she unscrewed the cap and drank it directly, the taste was clear and sweet.

"Pretty delicious, what else?"

"That's all that's left. If you like it, I'll pick it up tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Si Li beamed, her innocent and harmless appearance fell into Jiang Wen's eyes, but she felt quite uncomfortable in her heart.

After dinner, Jiang Wen returned to the main room to clean up, while Si Li didn't make any more trouble, and flew to the opposite roof, resting his chin on his hands, looking at the busy figure through the window, feeling guilty.

Looking up at the crescent moon in the night sky, I miss Po Meng more and more.

After Jiang Wen packed everything up, before Si Li came down, he climbed up the wall ladder to the roof and put the cloak on her.

There was more warmth on her body, and she came back to her senses, "Mr. Jiang, thank you."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I miss home, Shushu said that home is where there are parents. I don't have parents, only sister Meng Po and elder brother Taotie."

"."

"Young Master Jiang, you said that we are the only ones here, so who are you here for?"

Jiang Wen's eyes hesitated, "I have gone through a lot of hardships, but the person I am looking for has passed away."

"Dead? Why?"

"The lifespan of the human race is not comparable to that of the monster race. Although it can be cultivated, it is still incomparable."

"Then why does this deep valley exist? I've never heard it mentioned by Po and Sister Meng."

Jiang Wen opened and closed his lips several times, his hesitation was beyond words.

"It was the soul-hunting that brought me here, and I don't know why."

"Is that person really your sweetheart?"

"My sweetheart? I don't know either. But her death is no different from being killed by me."

Jiang Wen's eyes were complicated. Apart from helplessness and regret, there were more guilt and relief. Two emotions that should have been extreme appeared in his eyes at the same time.

Si Li originally wanted to tease him, but even though he had a thousand words to say, he didn't know how to say it.

She raised her hand and patted her shoulder strangely.

"Then why are you looking for her?"

"I'm afraid she's too lonely alone."

"That"

"Okay, it's late, I've packed up your wing."

Seeing him leave, Si Li shrugged, "This man is really incomprehensible, he looks so weak, yet he dares to kill someone."

She jumped down from the roof and followed Jiang Wen to her room, which was neither gorgeous nor simple.It doesn't look like a guest room, but a women's boudoir.

On the two long candlesticks in front of the door, there are two revolving lanterns that are very similar to Soul-seeking Yin.Right in front was vermilion heavy wood, and there was a blank scroll hanging on the wall above. Si Li looked closely, and in an instant, a light seemed to flash across the painting. She rubbed her sore eyes, but found nothing unusual.

Across the screen, she lifted the veil, inside was a wooden vanity mirror and other things, and there were a few yellow flowers in the vase, fresh and comfortable.The window on the left is fan-shaped. If you stand in front of the window, you can smell the fruity fragrance of the garden not far away.The pink veil outside the bed is tied with a ribbon, and the bed is covered with a light red brocade quilt.

Inside the screen on the right is a wooden bathtub filled with hot water, which is emitting steaming mist at the moment.

Jiang Wen didn't come in, and stood outside the screen and said to her, "I have prepared hot water in the tub, and I will pour it tomorrow."

"and many more."

"how?"

"Master Jiang, was this the place where your sweetheart lived?"

Jiang Wen was silent for a moment outside before softly responding, "Yes."

"Then why are you willing to let me live?"

"The house is dead, but the people are alive, not to mention there is no spare room for you to live in."

"I see."

Jiang Wen didn't reply anymore, so he should have left.

Looking at the strange things around her, Si Li felt rather uncomfortable and missed Po Meng even more.

Opening the closet, there are many women's clothes in it, but she can change her clothes by herself, these are of no use to her.

She clasped her hands together, walked around and looked around, "Sister, Si Li didn't intend to occupy your room on purpose, sister, don't be angry! I will leave when I find my friend. If you haven't been reincarnated, wait until I return If you are in Huangquan, you must go to Sister Meng, and beg her to give you a good afterlife."

Outside the house, Jiang Wen did not leave. He closed the door for her, sat on the stone steps, took off the hip flask, raised his head and took a long sip.

In the next few days, Si Li searched all over the mountains and plains for Le Shu, but to no avail.After being disappointed, she followed Jiang Wen to work in the orchard and vegetable garden, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

It is completely different from when I was in Huangquan, and my heart has been enriched a lot.

Jiang Wen was always gentle and courteous to her, and never overstepped, but Si Li always felt that there seemed to be something in his heart that was hard to let go.Especially when facing her, this feeling became more and more obvious.But if you encircle and question, you can't find out why.

And Jiang Wen found that his feelings for Si Li had gradually changed subtly, not to mention being unable to contain it, he didn't even know when he fell in love with that girl.

Si Li put the small shovel aside, cleaned his hands, picked a green fruit and ate it.

Jiang Wen handed her the bamboo tube, and she smiled and unscrewed it and finished drinking, "I always see you running towards the mountains before dawn. It's very cold there, why don't you pick up more each time?"

"When it's late, there will be no dew."

"Huh? Dew?"

"Well, you said that when you were in the underworld, you fed on evil spirits and dew. There are no evil spirits in this mountain, only dew."

Si Li was so moved that she threw herself into his arms, smiled and raised her head, "You are so kind to me, I am reluctant to leave."

Jiang Wen was used to her rudeness, "You want to leave, but you can't."

"That's true."

"A Li, do you think it's a little boring after staying for a long time?"

"That's not true. The territory here is vast, there are flowers, birds, fish and insects, and you. How can it be boring! Oh, I'm just a little worried. He is seriously injured. If Lesha finds him, he will definitely kill him." Si Li said worriedly.

Jiang Wen's smile froze, "You can't get out anyway, so you don't have to worry too much. Maybe he was as lucky as you and was rescued."

"If that's the case, it's naturally very good."

Jiang Wen turned to calmly and continued to clear the new weeds, and let Si Li chatter beside him, but his heart fell into an ice abyss, and then turned into a sigh.Every thought in Si Li's mind was full of joy, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

It was night, moonless, and the cold wind was howling.

Si Li curled up under the blanket, tossing and turning, trying to suppress her sleepiness.

In recent days, she has always had some strange dreams, and the fragments are broken.Whenever she woke up, although she couldn't recall the dream, the feeling of suffocation was real.

Sitting cross-legged to meditate, to adjust the breath and spiritual power, but the feeling of sleepiness still comes as promised.

She took off the ring on her hand and injected spiritual power into it. The next moment, the ring turned into a stream of light and flew into her spiritual consciousness.

'A Li, try this, it's sweet and sour, it will satisfy your hunger. '

'This dress looks really good on you, and no one else is as good as you. '

'This name is called Lotus Lantern, and it is rumored that along the Haichuan River, it can flow into the Huangquan Styx River to express lovesickness. '

'I have traveled thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, seen the stars hanging down everywhere, and the snow falling into the sea.I will show you all the bustling and magnificent scenes in this world. '

A jug of wine is not as good as your smile to relieve thousands of worries. '

'He once chose his tribe and abandoned you.Although I can't abandon the world, I would like to return to hell with you. '

Si Li was very surprised when she heard these ethereal voices. Aren't these the voices of Jiang Wen?When had he ever said this to her?It's so familiar, why can't she remember it? !
'Back then, my parents killed that shameless villain in order to save people. Who knew that a disaster would arise, in exchange for endless pursuit, and even a war between humans and demons.Our Tingli clan has attracted the punishment of heaven, and since then we have been imprisoned in Huangquan Purgatory, never to see the light of day again. '

Special?Is it a special sound? !

Si Li had an unbearable headache, and for some reason, grief and pain spread in her heart, so intense that she could hardly dissolve it.

"Ali, Ali"

"Shushu? Is it you? I'm so scared!"

Hearing Le Shu's voice, she ran wildly in the dark, obviously his figure was close in front of her eyes, but she couldn't touch him.

"A Li, don't panic, I'm here."

Le Shu's voice was weak, and Si Li couldn't figure out the source of his voice.

"Where are you? I was trapped in the valley, and I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find your whereabouts. What happened to your injury? Did Lesha hurt you later?"

"Don't worry, he no longer exists now, Ah Li, take care of yourself."

Si Li stopped and waved her hands in the darkness, but she couldn't touch him.

"Shushu? Are you still there? Shushu?! Why didn't you answer me?"

Si Li was panicking for no reason, and the tea flowers between her brows gradually appeared, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

But as far as she could see, her already scarred heart was shattered again, dripping with blood
Obviously as a person in the situation, Si Li can't intervene to change it, and can only watch the old things repeat themselves.
