Chapter 598: Abandoned Child (2)
The next day, the sun rose above the treetops.
Wu Chengyin slightly opened his eyes, and waves of lotus fragrance hit him. He stood up and saw the lotus pond. There were many lotus flowers with red and white petals blooming together. Those were the Yin-Yang Twin Lotuses they had been looking for for many years.
But when he saw the woman in front of him grilling fish and meat with a stone slab, his memories of last night came back to him.
"who are you?"
"Ah..." Wu Chengyin covered his throat in horror. Why couldn't he speak?
"I almost forgot, you were poisoned and your body was already weak. You just expelled the poison last night, so you won't talk today."
Gu Yuxi can't contact Xiao Ke now, and even drinking seems meaningless. Anyway, the mission hasn't started yet, and she can erase the other party's memory when she leaves.
Seeing that the little boy was staring at her barbecue, she broke off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wait a few days until you can talk and then tell me who you are. Just be my companion for dinner."
Once the tasker falls into the space of the task world, he cannot walk around randomly, otherwise it will increase the workload of the staff. Only by staying where he is can the loopholes in the world be restored as quickly as possible.
"Um...ah!"
"I don't like being disturbed while I'm eating."
Suddenly, there were plates, chopsticks, cups, spoons and other tools in front of him. Wu Chengyin didn't want to be disliked by the fairy, but he was worried about his brother so he couldn't say it out loud. He could only bite the bullet and eat. Unexpectedly, the food he put into his mouth was such a rare delicacy.
While eating, he looked at the fairy drinking in front of him and memorized her appearance: she was wearing a red, white and pink dress, with lotus ornaments in her hair. Could she be the deity guarding this lotus pond?
Legend has it that the Yin-Yang Lotus was formed from the tears accidentally dropped by the Fairy Yao Chi. Should he worship her before eating?
The woman tilted her head back, lifted the jug and poured out the wine. A drop of wine slid playfully down the corner of her lips. She was very uninhibited, which was different from the official women Wu Chengyin had met.
"Don't be distracted. Xiao Ke never eats like this. I miss him so much. I only have an appetite when he eats with me. Xiao Ke, please take me home quickly."
After saying that, Gu Yuxi continued to feed the other party, quickly picking up a large bowl of rabbit meat and some vegetables.
Wu Chengyin took note of the "Xiao Ke" the woman mentioned. She wanted to go home, and so did he.
When he saw the dishes in front of him, Wu Chengyin could only eat with relish and quietly serve as the dinner partner that the fairy mentioned.
Both of them were silent. Wu Chengyin could only watch as the slightly tipsy woman cleared the leftovers from the stone slab with one hand, and then she fell asleep under the shade of the tree.
Seeing that the woman fell asleep, Wu Chengyin then stared at her openly. A gentle breeze blew, and apricot blossoms fell, also landing on her body.
Afraid that the other person would feel cold, Wu Chengyin untied his cloak and put it on the other person, but he didn't expect his hand to be grabbed suddenly. He didn't dare to move, and it took a long time before he pulled his hand away from the woman's hand.
Standing by the lake and looking at the lotus flowers, Wu Chengyin picked a lot of lotus pods. This place seemed to be only this big, with a lotus pond and the shore of more than a hundred meters. It was surrounded by mist, and he could see the towering cliffs.
The sun moved slowly, Gu Yuxi felt his hands were burning, he opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't expect that the little boy was holding a lotus leaf to block the sun for him, his face turned red from the sun.
"Thank you." After saying that, she put her hand, which emitted purple light, to Wu Chengyin's throat and shook her neck.
Seeing the woman wake up, Wu Chengyin said: "Ah...you're welcome."
He can talk now! Wu Chengyin realized that her saying that he could only talk after a few days was just an excuse for her not wanting to talk to him. She liked quietness!
"Don't tell me your name, because I will forget it even if you tell me."
"May I...dare I ask you, fairy?"
"Fairy, that's fair. You won't remember what happened after leaving this place, so it's useless to ask. It's understandable that you stay here with me for a few days."
"My brother... I am Wu Chengyin. Fairy may not want to hear it, but Chengyin still begs the fairy to allow Chengyin to serve you at your service."
"Wu Chengyin, but this?"
A few golden characters flashed in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly, so he said, "Cheng means Cheng Huan's knee."
"It's a good name. Since we've known each other for a few days, it's understandable that we know each other."
Looking at the three golden characters "Gu Yuxi" in front of him, Wu Chengyin wrote them down, but he didn't expect the floor to start shaking, and a house appeared with some pots and stoves at the door. After he stood firm, he saw a bottle of medicine on the table.
"Just apply it. After all, I don't have the habit of mistreating children, especially those who have just recovered from a serious illness."
"Thank you, fairy, for the medicine."
He opened the ointment and applied it. It was very comfortable and cool. The woman was playing chess by herself. He talked to her, but she said, "I'm going to be hungry soon. Go and cook."
"I am."
After leaving the room and looking at the dazzling array of ingredients, Wu Chengyin was stumped. He had never been in the kitchen before and was extremely anxious as to how to prepare all these things.
He thought to himself: I have never cooked before, what should I do?
Wu Chengyin was so anxious that he put his hands on the stove, but he didn't expect the black screen to light up. It showed the steps of cooking, but there were only hands and feet, not the whole body of a person.
“Easy to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes…fish-flavored eggplant…”
Looking at the simple operation, Wu Chengyin started to light the fire, and the matches were automatically added. He washed the ingredients and started to crack eggs and cut tomatoes.
"One spoonful of soy sauce and flour to thicken... Why is it still so unpalatable? The ingredients are almost gone."
Most of the ingredients in the kitchen are missing. The only good thing now is the corn and pig's trotters stewed in the casserole. Will she like these green vegetables?
The last of the lotus root and corn had turned black. Wu Chengyin wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only hold the ice cloth and bring the casserole over, saying, "Sister Fairy, it's time to eat."
"Where's the meal?" the woman asked bluntly after putting down the book.
Wu Chengyin then realized that there was no food in this place. He said awkwardly, "Fairy, please wait a minute. Chengyin will make it right away."
"No need, I'm tired too, take your time."
The woman's door was closed, and Wu Chengyin's heart sank. He picked up the bowl of salty soup and immediately spat it out.
"Why can't I do anything? It tastes so bad. She must be angry."
Wu Chengyin went to the kitchen again, but he didn't expect that the ingredients had been updated, so he poured out the pot of pig's trotter soup.
"One star anise, cinnamon, pork belly cut into cubes, pay attention to the sugar color..."
The fire in the stove was lit again, and Wu Chengyin began to cut vegetables clumsily, and the aroma of oil appeared again.
Serving a simple dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Wu Chengyin felt that he was not that stupid.
"The fairy meeting...she didn't seem to like it very much."
Looking at the closed door, he gave up the idea of bringing the food in. He would definitely be able to prepare the food in time tomorrow.
