Evil Bone Devourer

Chapter 194 - Once in a Century-
After tossing and tossing this night, it was past three o'clock in the middle of the night. In the rest of the tents, there were workers lying on the ground in disorder. Everyone's faces were deeply tired. I quietly lowered the curtains and did not go in to disturb them.

I was sitting outside to rest, when Lao Diao came to me, bowed his head and lit a cigarette.

He handed me one and asked, "Smoking?"

I looked at the familiar white cigarette rod in front of me, and shook my head slightly, "I don't smoke."

He put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, stood beside me and looked at the heavy rain, and said: "If Xuanhe hadn't entered for you, you would be the one lying in it now, right?"

I was full of self-blame, he was right, if Xuanhe didn't replace me, maybe I would be worse than him.

He continued: "After getting in touch with you this day, I see you differently."

I snorted and asked, "Why do you look at it differently?"

"When I met you for the first time, I thought you were a young girl with a lot of airs. I was going to see Brother Bodhi when I came up. The arrogance in your eyes really deserves a beating.

Later, we visited the thatched cottage three times to beg you, but you refused to agree. I thought you were just being angry because we changed someone else temporarily.

I was crazier than you when I was your age, and I think you are just full of pride!
I know this place is difficult, but I didn't expect it to be this difficult and always thought you were exaggerating.

But today you overturned all my previous ideas. You have the courage, courage, and resourcefulness that girls of your age don't have. You can afford it and let it go. To be honest, I'm starting to appreciate you now. "

I smiled softly and didn't speak again.

In the face of Lao Diao's hypocritical praise, I can no longer tell what is true and what is false, but at this time his expression is a little more sincere.

Huanxi wiped Xuanhe's body clean and changed into clean clothes. After I entered, I saw him lying quietly on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The lights in the house are very dim. Don’t ask for good conditions in such a tent. I can’t leave the construction site for two days.

So I can only feel wronged that Xuanhe is cultivating here. I feel his pulse is weak but fortunately steady. It may be that he has not healed from the injury from the last time he went down to the Hundred Ghosts Pond. The body couldn't bear it for a while, and then fell down.

I sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at his sleeping face, and whispered: "Thank you."

He was sweating non-stop. I wiped his neck and forehead with a towel. I happily changed the clothes on my body for him. After a while, they were soaked in sweat again and could no longer be worn.

I can only follow along and worry, because I don't know how to use medicine, which is my biggest shortcoming.

Huanxi's coffee is quite easy to use. My eyelids are heavy and I want to lean against the bed and squint for a while, but my mind is so clear that I can't fall asleep no matter what.

What Xuanhe asked me before flashed through my mind, why did he want to be the fortune teller for me?

If he likes this position, then he can take over directly before I show up. Why is he willing now when he didn't want to?
And he came to help today, is it really a coincidence or intentional?
After the time we looked at the painting together, he was indeed a little strange, but where did these strange things come from?

I can't figure it out!

On the second day, the sun was shining brightly on the construction site.

It was as if the land had begun to breathe life, and breathing hard was no longer a gloomy smell, but a sense of freshness after the rain.

Xuanhe fell asleep drowsily, and I saw that he was not in any danger, so I went out to supervise the work. For the sake of safety, I decided to wait until the tombs of the two boys were dug up and the hill was moved before leaving.

Dong Jinbao will take over here in the future, and I can't leave him any trouble.

Everyone had a lively breakfast together, and when they mentioned what happened yesterday, their faces were not only frightened but also a little excited. After all, some people never encountered so many strange things in their lifetime.

My status has soared among these rough guys. They call me master kindly, and they have smiles on their faces when they speak.

I would go back to wipe Xuanhe's sweat after a while, but what I didn't expect was that Jiang Nuojie and Mi Li came to the construction site together, and happened to bump into me leaning over to help Xuanhe wipe his body.

From the perspective of the door, the distance between the two of us was unusually ambiguous, as if I was stealing from a relative's house.

I heard the sound and looked back, seeing Mi Li staring at me with an ugly face, I froze in place not knowing what to say.

It's a rare event in a hundred years for the two of them to meet together! ! !

"Why did you come here?"

Jiang Nuojie glanced at Mi Li, shrugged her shoulders and said to me: "I heard that you were caught in the rain yesterday, so I brought you some change of clothes. When I got home to pick up the clothes, Mi Li said that she would come too, so we went together."

It is said that?

Did Dong Jinbao let her come?

I nodded my head knowingly, the clothes on my body were indeed from yesterday, they were completely dried after being drenched by the rain, and now they smelled stale.

I set up the towel in my hand, walked to them with a smile and said, "Let's go out and talk!"

Mi Li looked in past me, and asked tentatively, "Who is this person?"

"my friend."

She raised her eyebrows in disbelief, returned to her normal expression in a flash, and asked again: "Friend?"

"Well, have you eaten yet?"

Jiang Nuojie: "Eat, go out! Don't disturb other people's rest."

Because of Mi Li's illness, Jiang Nuojie no longer quarreled with her. If she said something unpleasant, Jiang Nuojie would not be able to hear it, and no one would be the same as a patient.

We sat down outside looking for a place, and Huanxi brought me a lot of fruit to eat, and I didn't know it and thought I was on vacation!

Lao Diao said that there is nothing wrong with my airs being big, so it looks like I am quite airsy!
Jiang Nuojie looked left and right and looked around, her heart moved back and forth like grass.

I smiled and said to her: "He's not here, he's digging mountains over there!"

Jiang Nuojie withdrew her gaze, and asked with a knowing voice: "Who are you talking about? I don't know what you are talking about."

"Whoever you want, I will say whoever you want!"

Mi Li's eyes lingered on us in confusion, looking ignorant, I was afraid she would think that we were secretly rejecting her, so I explained to her: "Jinbao is here, but due to the special relationship, we have to pretend I don't know him well, do you understand?"

A look of surprise flashed in Mi Li's eyes, "Dong Jinbao?"

"Well, keep your voice down."

Mi Li looked at Jiang Nuojie with deep meaning. She is so smart and must be able to see Jiang Nuojie's meaning to Dong Jinbao. Since then, she has never deliberately found fault with Jiang Nuojie to quarrel.

Mi Li approached me and said with a smile, "You promised to go to the hospital to pick me up yesterday, but you broke your promise, how can you compensate me?"

"I'm so sorry! You saw it too. I'm in a hurry here so I didn't pick you up. How about I treat you to something delicious when this is over?"
