The purpose was achieved, and the brief consciousness attached to the bamboo leaf died. The leaf that was imbued with vitality instantly lost its ability to fly and fell on Jin Yunlan's head.
Li Zhi's eyes fell on her, with an "as expected" look on his face, "I knew it was you."
"This is for you." She smiled and handed the bundle to his hand.
Li Zhi lowered his eyes, opened the things in the bag, and took a look.
"It's boring. I went all the way up the mountain for something like this." Although he complained in his mouth, the emotion in his eyes was not consistent with his impatient tone.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Jin Yunlan took the opportunity to hold his hand in her palm and said with a smile on her face: "I have something to ask you. Can you fight with me?"
Li Zhizhi frowned, confused: "What?"
Jin Yunlan explained the reason to him.
Li Zhi thought about the earth-shattering battle between the two before, and still had lingering fears. But she was really insistent, and she agreed as long as she wanted to.
When he nodded, the two immediately entered a battle mode, each retreating more than ten feet to separate the distance.
Jin Yunlan stretched out his palms, ready to go. Li Zhi stood in the forest with Li Tanjian on his back, aloof. A breeze came and ruffled their hair.
Jin Yunlan shouted loudly, then broke out of the wind and ran quickly towards Li Zhi.
When Li Zhi saw her coming with a clenched fist, he raised his right hand and touched the hilt of the sword behind his head. Only the sharp edge of Li Tan's sword was revealed, and his eyes were firm, but the woman who was running towards her seemed to have been hit by a slingshot.
The flying bird fell to the ground without warning. Even because of its inertia, it rushed forward for a while after landing, and landed right at his feet...
Li Zhi: "..."
She stretched out a trembling hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes, raised her embarrassed and depressed face, and moaned pitifully: "I... am so hungry, I have no strength."
Li Zhi held her forehead, squatted down and helped her up, "Isn't your family a wealthy family? They don't even give you food?"
"I've been so busy these days that I forget to eat and sleep. If I think about it carefully, I seem to have only eaten a few slices of melon in the past few days." Jinyunlan hunched over and muttered to herself as she came up behind him and without saying hello, she raised one leg and put it on his palm.
Get together everywhere.
Li Zhi turned to stare at her: "What do you mean?"
Jin Yunlan said shamelessly, "My legs are weak and I can't walk."
Li Zhi stood firm like a scarecrow, unmoved.
She bit her lip and made a pitiful expression, looking at him aggrievedly, with the pleading in her eyes almost making her eyes water, "Please, A Zhi."
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and held on for a while, sighed secretly, bent his knees and stretched out his hands behind him, "Come up."
Hehe, the battle was successful!
What Zhuzhu said is true. Men love women who show weakness. As soon as this thought came to her mind, she heard Li Zhi say in front of her: "Don't show such an expression next time, it's ugly."
"..."
Zhuzhu, this big liar.
Li Zhi carried her home and then went to the kitchen to heat food for her. After a while, he brought the food to the table and woke up the woman who had been dozing.
Jin Yunlan rubbed her sleepy eyes, grabbed the chopsticks and started to chop the rice. Li Zhi sat aside and stared at the lychees in the bag in a daze. For a long time, he pointed at the fruit with a rough shell and asked her.
"How do you eat this?"
Jin Yunlan blinked, surprised that he had never eaten a fruit as sweet and refreshing as lychee, which was a pity. She put down her chopsticks and peeled off the scaly outer shell in front of him, and the crystal clear flesh emerged.
Then he held up the snow-white and sweet pulp and put it against his lips.
"Open your mouth."
Li Zhi frowned, opened his lips modestly and took a bite. The moment the sweet juice invaded his taste buds, his eyes lit up and he revealed a very stunning smile.
foul!
Too foul!
Seeing his sudden smile, Jin Yunlan's heart suddenly moved, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. She boldly pulled the empty bowl in front of Li Zhi, rolled up her sleeves and peeled the lychee shells for him, "I'll give it to you.
Peel it and eat as much as you can."
Li Zhi didn't understand the reason for her sudden enthusiasm, nor did she know that her unintentional smile captured the heart of a young girl. But the taste of this fruit was indeed very tempting.
Jin Yunlan covered her healed heart. If she could see him like this every day, it would be worth working a hundred times harder.
She rested her forehead with one hand and smiled at his rare expression of contentment and happiness, thinking to herself that this was truly the most beautiful thing in the world.
Hey hey hey.
It would not be bad if you could bring him into your home and just let him smile at you like this every day.
"Do you know the name of this fruit?"
Li Zhi shook his head slightly.
"It's called Lychee."
Li Zhi suddenly understood and said "Oh", his reaction was much more lively than usual.
Jin Yunlan narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Concubine Yiqi Hongchen smiled, she seemed to understand.
After that, Jin Yunlan took the opportunity to discuss with Li Zhi and brought him some fresh and delicious food, whether it was freshly baked chestnut cakes from East Street or the famous salt-baked chicken from the restaurant, no matter what she said,
She gave him all the good things she had eaten in the past year, just to make him smile.
However, Li Zhi's smile was really hard to come by. Except for the first time when the lychee pleased him, he showed little interest in it several times after that.
As time passed, she felt more and more that he was like Bao Si who didn't like to laugh, and she was the sad and smiling King Zhou You.
After many times, all the children in Kongshan knew that delicious food often appeared at the patriarch's house, and they gathered around Li Zhi all day long asking her when she was going to the mountain.
Jin Yunlan never expected that the way to win people's hearts would be so simple.
It's just that she went up the mountain today and brought something different.
She carried two large boxes of books into Li Zhi's house.
This matter also starts with her participation in flood control.
Since the beginning of summer this year, the rain has been intense. The water level in the moat has been seen rising visibly. The drainage was temporarily unfavorable to prevent flooding from spreading and affecting the whole city. The clan urgently ordered the start of flood control work.
In view of her hard work and good attitude in recent days, the clan leader recommended her to take charge of flood control. The elders of the clan held a meeting and after collective discussion, they quickly passed the proposal. Then Jinyunlan, who was unaware of it, quickly put on a raincoat and hat.
By the moat, we braved the rain with others to collect water to prevent floods.
Everything was arranged in a flash.
Since the water channel downstream of the moat is close to the paddy fields in the suburbs, farmers used to reap a lot of benefits from watering crops. However, once the flood breaks its banks, large tracts of grain will inevitably bear the brunt.
Jin Yunlan thought to herself, seeing that it was busy farming and under harsh conditions, everyone accelerated the harvest.
During those days, she worked non-stop day and night, and worked with others to build an earth-rock dam by the moat, successfully blocking the river water that had overflowed the bank. Seeing the sun rising high and shining on the earth, everyone cheered and breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone in the clan praised her performance and looked at her with admiration. Especially the owners of the paddy fields near the North and South Canals thanked her for her hard work and dedication day and night.
For a time, she received a lot of praise from top to bottom.
This matter has come to an end for the time being, and the follow-up work will be taken over by others in the clan.
It's just that she always prided herself on being strong, but she didn't expect that after many days of hard work and rain, she still fell down.
That day, after a long absence, she went up the mountain to deliver food to Li Zhi, and then sparred with him in the back mountain. During the intermission, she just rested on the roots of a tree for a while. When she woke up, she felt dizzy, her whole body ached, and her limbs were numb.
It was as if it were made of lead and could not move.
When she heard Li Zhi calling her, she seemed to have taken root in the ground and could not stand up.
Li Zhi saw that her face was tired and her cheeks were flushed. He touched her forehead with his hand and it was indeed hot. He had to take her home first.
Jinyunlan was worried about her homework for the administrative class the next morning. Zhao Ziyang liked to pick on her the most. Whenever she did something not as he wanted, he would turn around and go to her father to report it. What was hateful was that the family members
They were very concerned about her performance, and they were all like mirrors in their minds, focusing on her strengths and weaknesses, not allowing her father to have the slightest chance of being partial to her.
If she fails to hand in her homework tomorrow, Zhao Ziyang will be able to catch her again, and he will have another gimmick to make trouble.
Thinking of this made her upset. Even if she was locked in a coffin, she still had to climb out and finish her homework.
The book bag happened to be nearby.
She opened her red eyes and groped around. She couldn't find her homework, but she came across a soft spot. She took the opportunity to knead it a few times, and she could still feel the tight touch through the fabric.
One hand grabbed her thin wrist, grabbed it from his thigh, and threw it aside ruthlessly, "Don't touch it."
Jin Yunlan vaguely saw him holding his homework and looking attentively. Just when he wanted to ask him for it, he saw him pointing to a word and asking herself, "What does this word mean?"
Jin Yunlan squinted her eyes, tried hard to focus on the double image, and said: "The word "Ji" means "all".
Li Zhi said "Oh" in realization and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that words have evolved into this."
Jin Yunlan realized that the Li family had been locked up in the mountains for many years and had not done enough to popularize knowledge. As a result, their educational level fell behind, and the evolution of fonts made them unable to connect with the world.
It seems that in order for the Li family to successfully integrate into the secular world in the future, cultural education is also a very serious problem.
Li Zhi held her homework and looked at it with great interest. He suddenly pointed out a mistake she made and said seriously: "The answer to this question should be, A, D, C and B."
Jin Yunlan raised her head and glanced at the complicated question and the strange question type. She beat the bed distractedly and felt that her head was getting more and more chaotic. She couldn't help but close her eyes. Before she lost consciousness, she said to Li Zhi
He muttered: "Write it for me. Just write whatever you want and fill it up."
Then she fell into a coma.
Li Zhi saw sweat dripping down her forehead, her pale lips slightly open, and breathing heavily. Her eyes were closed tightly and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was sleeping very uneasily.
He couldn't help but reach out and retract his hand. After hesitating for a while, he took off the scarf from her forehead and wiped the sweat off her face bit by bit. Then he soaked the scarf with cold water again and wrung it dry.
Put it on her forehead.
When he was about to leave, his fingers were wrapped in hot palms.
Chaotic murmurs came from behind.
"Don't go. Stay with me for a while, it'll be fine."
Li Zhi's eyebrows moved, and he slowly sat back on the bed, letting her hot fingers clasp his little finger tightly.
The room fell silent, and Jin Yunlan fell into a deep sleep again. Apart from the sound of the two breathing one after another, there was only the occasional faint sound of lamp oil exploding.
Li Tang came back with a bundle of firewood. When he passed by Li Zhi's room, he saw this quiet and peaceful scene through the crack of the ajar door. The corners of his eyes were slightly narrowed, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
