The water in Taihu Lake would not always be calm. When the ripples appeared, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The wind whistled past, blowing away the paper that had just been dried in the morning.
" It's going to rain," Fu Chen muttered. Looking at Tianming frantically arranging the newly made papers, Fu Chen suddenly remembered something and turned around to walk towards the small house where he and Tianming were temporarily staying.
After fighting with that demoness, Tianming had always been very resentful, saying that Fu Chen didn't bring him along when he went out to fight and wasn't a good brother.
Duanmu Rong didn't remember the rules of her own clinic. She still helped Fu Chen stitch up the wound and brewed medicine to heal his wounds. However, she was very curious why Fu Chen wanted medicine that could warm the body and specifically treat bone damage. She had checked and there was no problem with this guy's bones. But she didn't ask Fu Chen what he wanted and still gave her medicine.
Gao Yue was ready to sew the clothes, but there were too many missing, so she gave up. Duanmu Rong threw a new set over and told Fu Chen that the money for the new clothes would be included in the paper, so Fu Chen could make more. Of course, this task still fell on Tianming, in the name of training his concentration.
Old Man Ban and Ge Nie were getting more and more confused about their chess skills. They would spend the entire day playing a game of chess, and most of the time, they would just sit there with their eyes closed…It was even more satisfying than playing Go.
Perhaps because he couldn't stand Fu Chen and Tianming's noise, Old Man Ban gave them a Shangtong Rubik's Cube each and let them play. Of course, it wasn't difficult for Floating Dawn. Hence, he had new toys after training, chopping wood, and making paper…
After coming out of the room, Fu Chen went to the kitchen to lie down. He took two bamboo tubes and stuffed them into his chest before coming out. Ge Nie, who was sitting by the window, saw Fu Chen's sneaky behavior and gave a rare smile.
"It's going to rain. What are you going to do?”Duanmu Rong's voice came from behind.
" Oh, I'm going to observe the situation by the lake on a rainy day. I'll find a safe place to make a waterwheel. That way, I won't have to carry water and save a lot of trouble." Floating Dawn felt like he was making up a lie.
Duanmu Rong quietly looked at Fu Chen. Just as he felt that he was about to be exposed, she handed him an oil-paper umbrella and turned around to return to the house.
" Brother Chen, I'll go too." After tidying up the papers, Tianming happened to overhear Fu Chen's conversation and appeared a little excited.
" The training program in the rain is to stand on a rope with one foot for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn." Floating Dawn saw the reluctance on Tianming's face after he finished speaking, so he continued,""I'm just going to investigate. When I'm done, we'll do it together. Without your help, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it.”
" That's great." Tianming jumped up happily." I'm going to train now. Come back early. Call me if there's a fight…"
The thing he was most happy about was being able to help anyone, even if it was just a small matter.
" I know, I'll be back soon." Floating Dawn looked at the happy Tianming and felt that he couldn't bear to lie to this child. He really treated him like an elder brother.
Before the rain fell, Fu Chen rushed to the thatched cottage. This demoness was still meditating and recuperating. Her internal injuries were a little serious. Looking at her pale face, Fu Chen felt that he was not a good person. A dignified male student fought with a woman and was even injured.
" You're here early today." When the demoness saw Fu Chen standing at the door, her face was apologetic and she smiled.
" It's going to rain soon. I came to clean up the straw shed. It's leaking. If you catch a cold, it'll be even harder for you to recover." Fu Chen took out two sets of clothes and threw them to the woman."There's medicine in one, and congee I cooked in the other. Drink some while it's still warm. I'll go fix the hole in the roof."
"What is a cold?" The demoness was stunned for a long time before she suddenly asked.
" Oh, it's just a cold." Floating Dawn realized that he had said an avant-garde word. He casually explained and left the room, holding the rag wrapped around the boat in his hand.
He threw the rag and a bundle of hay onto the roof and climbed up with the help of two wooden rafters. He carefully stepped on the support and laid the rag inside the hole. He pressed the porcelain firmly and laid the hay layer by layer. He was worried that it would be blown away by the strong wind. He used the cutting method to insert the new one into the old one. This way, it would be stronger.
Just as he was busy playing, it began to rain heavily.
The drenched Fu Chen hurriedly entered the straw hut and saw this demoness wrapped in the clothes she had brought. She was staring at the bamboo tube on the ground in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Not full yet?" Fu Chen was a little curious. This wasn't like his usual self.
Demoness shook her head and did not speak.
"Cold?"
He still shook his head.
"You miss your family?"
He still shook his head.
"Then what's wrong?"
" Why are you so nice to me? I'm here to kill you," the witch's voice sounded faintly.
"What is it?" Fu Chen started a fire and said,"I don't know you, and I have no grudges against you. You're not here to kill me, you're here to kill someone else. Besides, you didn't want to kill me in the fight that day. You just wanted to capture me, right?”
"Obligations?" Demoness raised her head and looked at Fu Chen through the fire. She asked,"The way you speak is very strange, and your thoughts are also very strange. I don't understand.”
" It's okay, you don't have to understand. I have my reasons." Fu Chen added some firewood and smiled."Anyway, don't think too much about it. I would do the same for anyone else, except men, of course.”
" Pervert." The demoness burst out laughing. Her smile was very beautiful, causing Fu Chen to be slightly stunned.
Fu Chen smiled awkwardly, took out the Shangtong Rubik's Cube from his pocket, and threw it to her.""Demoness, I'll give you this to play with. I'll go get something else to eat.”
"This is?" After she took it, she flipped it over and over for a long time.
" Shangtong Rubik's Cube. I play it when I'm bored," Floating Dawn said and taught her how to play it. After she was familiar with it, she took a broken straw hat and left the hut. He hated holding umbrellas, so he left them in the house.
In the misty rain, Floating Dawn suddenly felt that this kind of life was actually quite good. Perhaps the things he had forgotten were all in this world.
The wind blew past, blowing away his tattered straw hat. Fu Chen suddenly woke up from his thoughts, picked up the straw hat, and put it on his head. After thinking about it, he decided to make grilled fish. However, when he saw the long tail in the grass, Floating Dawn felt that it was not bad to make beggar's chicken again, so he quietly sneaked over.
His luck was pretty good. There was a big fat chicken and a few eggs. The familiar procedures and procedures included plucking the feathers, cleaning the internal organs, stuffing the eggs into the hollowed abdomen, and sprinkling the salt that he had brought with him. He picked up the lotus leaf and wrapped it in mud. When he returned to the grass hut, Fu Chen realized that he was already drenched.
"What is this?" Demoness curiously looked up at the wet Fu Chen and then at the mud lump in his hand.
" You'll know in a while." Floating Dawn smiled mysteriously. He dug a hole in the ground and buried the mud lump in it, then moved the fire to the top.
He touched the place where he had just lived. It was very warm. He raised his head and said to the demoness,"Demoness, come and sit here. It's hot here.”
" Oh," the demoness replied softly. She got up and sat at the place where Fu Chen had just laid the grass. As expected, it was very warm.
"Demoness, you're quite amazing. You pieced it together just like that?”Fu Chen looked at the Rubik's cube that the demoness had pieced together and was a little stunned. This woman was really smart.
" It's not that difficult." The demoness threw the Rubik's cube to Fu Chen with a little pride.
" Yao…Yao…" Fu Chen stuttered and continued,""What's your name? I can't keep calling you a demoness, right?”
"Chi Lian!" The demoness fiddled with the fire, as if she was somewhat helpless, but also somewhat sad.
"Is there someone with the surname Chi?" Fu Chen raised his head and rolled his eyes.
" So what? My name is Chi Lian." Chi Lian's voice turned cold.
" Oh, hello, my name is Fu Chen." Fu Chen didn't notice Chi Lian's expression and tone. He didn't think about it anymore and said with a smile.
" I know." Chi Lian suddenly felt that she was overthinking things. This guy's thinking was completely different from the average person's, and it was impossible to figure it out.
"Oh right, you've recovered. You should go. Uncle Gai's injuries are almost healed. You can't beat him.”
"Are you worried about me?"
"That's not true. Women should live a stable life. Helping your husband and raising your children, fighting and killing are not suitable for you.”Male chauvinism was back.
"Are you looking down on us?" Chi Lian was obviously unhappy as she glared at Fu Chen.
"No, it's harder to live a stable life than anything else. It's even harder to take care of a husband and raise children. That's why I especially admire those women. They're real heroes.”His father was a male chauvinist, so Floating Dawn was more or less affected.
" I have my goals," Chi Lian sighed and said,""If I don't have a goal, then what's the point of living? Unfortunately, being safe and sound isn't my goal.”
" Your goal must be great. Persevere well, you will succeed one day." Floating Dawn waved his fist in support.
"Don't you want to know my goal?"
"If you don't want to, that's your business."
The two of them talked for a while. Fu Chen felt that it was about time, so he moved the fire away and dug out the mud. After breaking open the dry mud seal, a rich fragrance assailed his nose, and Chi Lian's eyes lit up.
" This is the Beggar's Chicken, my specialty." Fu Chen laughed loudly and handed the whole chicken to Chi Lian with a clean lotus leaf."Try it. It's delicious."
Fu Chen stood up with a smile as he watched Chi Lian carefully tear off the drumstick. He picked up the umbrella and left the straw hut.
"Are you going back?" Chi Lian's voice sounded.
"Yes, sir!"
"My…my injuries are almost healed…"
"Oh, okay, then you can leave after the rain stops!”
"Can you give me something?" In the rain, Fu Chen couldn't hear it clearly, but he could hear a trace of sadness.
"What do you want?"
"Give me a poem!" This time, the voice became very firm.
Fu Chen thought for a moment and read aloud,""The willows are green and the lake is level, and I hear the singing on the river.”
"The sun sunrise in the east and the rain falls in the west.”
After finishing the poem, Fu Chen strode towards the medicine manor.
In the ethereal Taihu Lake, it was as if a fisherman had returned from fishing, and his singing was melodious…
At the door of the straw hut, a fiery red woman looked at the figure gradually disappearing in the rain. The scene was so beautiful and sad, and a crystal tear slowly fell...
