Chapter 5 Sorry, I'm a Liar
Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Ce with a strange expression before coughing heavily.
After coughing, seeing that the laughter had not stopped, he turned his head again and glared at the person behind him.
The two grinning people behind them finally stopped laughing.
Zhao Youcai turned to Zhao Ce again and said tactfully: "Cer, it's too hot today. Did you sweat a lot just now?"
"Why don't you go back and wash your face first to cool down?"
"Uncle, just wait for you in the main room with others."
Zhao Ce thought blankly, wash your face?
Is it because I was sweating too much just now and was too embarrassed?
He nodded and said: "Okay, uncle, please wait for me in the room."
Zhao Youcai waved his hand.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Ce turned around and walked in. He heard the two people behind him who had just laughed and said, "Zhao Ce doesn't usually say anything. Scholars should pay attention to their appearance."
"Last time Daxin's son accidentally fell in front of him, and he quickly took a few steps back."
"Lift up your robe and say something like "Don't make his clothes dirty."
"Haha, when you said that, I also remembered it."
"How come he, a scholar, doesn't pay attention to his appearance today?"
"Dad, let me tell you, just ignore him. Didn't he say in front of everyone that you, the uncle, don't have to deal with it?"
"You are so kind-hearted as a donkey, aren't you making it difficult for your own family?"
Turning to the back of the room, Zhao Ce could still hear Zhao Youcai's scolding.
"Stop talking, I'm here to do serious business today!"
"Whether he wants me to take care of him or not, I am Ce'er's uncle."
"As a cousin, if you laugh at him behind his back again, be careful and I will slap you!"
After saying these words, it turned into whispers.
Zhao Ce found that he could even hear these mutterings clearly.
After calming down, he raised his head and glanced at the mountains not far away.
Zhao Ce found that his sight could see far away.
"It seems that a time travel, although notorious, is not without unexpected gains."
At least this person with sharp ears and eyesight can be considered physically strengthened, right?
Zhao Ce smiled at this unexpected surprise.
When he looked up again, he saw that he had opened the door to the ventilated room and a small figure was squatting there.
The sun is very bright today.
Zhao Ce said: "What are you doing there?"
"The sun is too strong. Don't stand outside for too long. Be careful of heatstroke."
Su Cai'er, who was picking up the "dried salted fish" thrown out by Zhao Ce, was so frightened by the sudden sound that her body trembled.
She turned around and calmed down when she saw Zhao Ce.
"My husband's clothes fell on the floor. I picked them up and washed them for him."
After saying that, he bent down again and picked up the two remaining items on the ground.
Zhao Ce walked over embarrassedly and said, "These clothes are too smelly. Let's disperse the smell first."
Su Cai'er straightened up, lowered her head and said, "It's okay, I'll just take it to the river and wash it."
Zhao Ce saw that she kept her head lowered, thinking that although this little girl only had one husband.
But inside I am shyer than anyone else.
It's hard for me to tease such an innocent little girl.
But the uncle over there was still waiting, Zhao Ce quickly said: "Uncle and the others are here."
"Sitting in the main room."
Hearing that her husband's uncle was here again, Su Cai'er remembered that not long ago, the uncle kept saying that he would take her to find someone to ask for an explanation.
Her small body trembled uncontrollably.
Zhao Ce looked at this courage and estimated that she was just a little girl.
He said with some funny relief: "It's okay."
"I will make it clear to him, you don't have to be afraid."
Think about it.
I decided to find something for this little girl to do.
It might as well distract her attention.
Zhao Ce pointed to the room and said, "Don't worry about washing these clothes now. Can you help me tidy up the room?"
"Take off the quilts as well and wash them together when the time comes."
"By the way, let's see if there are any clean clothes inside and help me find them."
When Su Cai'er heard her husband's polite words, she argued in a low voice: "You don't need to say that you are helping me."
"These are what I should do."
Zhao Ce's hand hanging by his side moved.
Why is this little girl so good?
I want to touch her little head...
I feel like this, like a weirdo.
Zhao Ce coughed quickly and said, "Okay, then go and do your work."
"I washed my face and went out to the main room."
When Su Cai'er heard that her husband wanted to wash his face, she quickly said: "Husband, please wait for me."
Zhao Ce watched with confusion as the little girl staggered into the room and put all the dirty clothes on the bench.
Then, she walked out, still hanging her little head.
"The water tank is a little dirty, I haven't had time to wash it yet."
"I, I will get water from the well for my husband to wash his face."
As he spoke, he walked towards the well.
Zhao Ce saw her pick up the wooden bucket for water and was about to throw it into the well.
There was a "pop" sound.
Then the little girl bent over and tightened the rope in her hand.
Su Cai'er is used to doing all kinds of work, and her hands are quite strong.
The bucket was about to be pulled to the wellhead.
Suddenly, a large shadow covered her while she was fetching water.
Then, a big hand with distinct joints stretched out.
Zhao Ce directly took the rope from the little girl's hand and said, "I'll do it."
With that said, with a slight exertion of force, the water was lifted up.
"No need, I can do it."
The bucket passed over Su Cai'er, and her eyes followed the bucket.
The late summer noon sun is blazing down on the earth.
Zhao Ce lifted the water and said with a smile: "You are strong, and I am not weak either."
After hearing her husband's words, Su Caier raised her head and glanced at the man next to her.
Zhao Ce also happened to look at her.
Under the bright sunshine, everything cannot be hidden.
Su Cai'er saw the two black marks on her husband's face.
And Zhao Ce also saw the little girl's eyes in the sunshine.
Those big bright eyes that are hidden from the sunlight.
In the sun, this distance.
But one can tell at a glance that this little girl has been lowering her head, intending to hide the secret.
Su Cai'er blinked her eyes and quickly lowered her eyes.
The long eyelashes trembled nervously twice.
I heard Zhao Ce say: "You...your eyes..."
Su Cai'er bit her lip and felt a sore nose.
Can't hide it anymore...
She raised her little head again, and this time, she finally dared to look into Zhao Ce's eyes.
It's just that there is a layer of mist in those big eyes.
Zhao Ce finally saw clearly this time.
The pupil of this little girl's left eye is light brown.
As for the pupil of the right eye, although it is not very obvious, the outer ring has a faint blue tint!
She has never dared to look at herself because she has two-colored eyes!
Su Cai'er saw Zhao Ce staring at her eyes, and she blinked.
Two small tears flowed from those eyes.
She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a liar."
