Chapter 880 Let’s Stay Together
Chapter 880 Let's Be Together Li Changxiao did not disturb them, and went back to the pool to shake off his clothes and reunite with Si Nian. At this time, the scorching sun was already setting in the west, and the mountains and fields were covered with shade from the trees. The two walked under the shade of the trees to avoid the scorching sun.
Si Nian was in a good mood, humming a cheerful tune along the way. Although the mountains were deep, they were not completely deserted. Sometimes, on the cliffs, you could meet a few fellow herbalists.
Once, Si Nian saw someone from a distance of several hundred feet, and she shouted a few times and waved to say hello. She was a lively and lovely person. Once she was in a good mood, she would say a few good or bad words to everyone she met, make a few jokes, and say hello. The herbalist in the distance was startled, but after catching a glimpse of Si Nian and Li Changxiao, he still politely replied, "Hello!" and waved to say hello.
There were many responses. Si Nian replied, "Hello! Be careful, sir!" The man replied, "You should be careful too!" Si Nian said again, "Okay, I'll be careful, you should be careful too!" The man said, "Everyone should be careful!"
There was a strange exchange of words even though they were far apart. Li Chang laughed and complained inwardly. If he said that he was very outgoing, then Si Nian was "not very familiar". The old man and the young man were several hundred feet apart, one on the mountain road and the other hanging on the cliff. They were already chatting and were being polite to each other.
Li Changxiao thought about it. Si Nian was like this during the Panlong Sect period. However, after several encounters, things and people have changed a lot, and he almost forgot Si Nian's original appearance and personality.
……
The two returned to the small wooden house before sunset, each carrying a backpack filled with mountain herbs. After a hard day's work, they only cooked a bowl of porridge with some pickles at night, swallowed it hastily, and fell asleep.
There is a vegetable field in front of the wooden house. It was a field that Li Changxiao had plowed over and over with a hoe. Green vegetables have been planted in it. But it has just been planted and only a few sprouts have sprouted. It may take another week for them to mature.
The next day, they woke up and went to the town to exchange the herbs for money. They put the basket in the medicine shop, and the owner led three or five assistants to identify the herbs one by one, looking, smelling, and touching... Si Nian put his hands on his waist and said, "Hey, boss, don't be cunning. If you dare to cheat me, I will go to another store."
The owner of the medicine shop said, "You are a fairy in the mountains. How dare I, a mortal, deceive you? Even if I deceive you, you will be able to see through it. You won't bother with me, a mortal, right?" Si Nian said, "It's hard to say. I didn't bother with it before, but now I have to." He patted Li Changxiao on the shoulder. What he meant was that one more person means one more mouth. Moreover, this mouth is first-rate in eating meat and drinking wine. Money is like water, so it is natural to be careful with it.
She actually enjoyed this feeling. During this period, she felt more satisfied than ever before, but she didn't dare to think too deeply. She had an unspeakable fear in her heart. She always felt that the day of separation might be near or near, but it would come eventually. Whenever she thought of this, she felt suffocated. Fortunately, she was cheerful by nature, because the vague future made her cherish the present even more.
The owner of the medicine shop received 37 taels of silver. Among them, the precious herbs such as the Little Phoenix Ginseng accounted for 32 taels of silver. The remaining scattered herbs just raised 5 taels of silver. The purse was suddenly bulging. Li Changxiao thought that going up the mountain to collect herbs would make more money than being a bodyguard or doing hard labor. He could also travel around the mountains and enjoy the scenery.
Si Nian waved his hand and immediately allocated ten taels of silver to Li Changxiao as wine money. The owner of the drugstore was very envious. Seeing the two of them staying together so well, it was no exaggeration to say that they were a "fairy couple". The owner of the drugstore had a nephew who was over 20 years old and was the right age to get married. He had secretly taken a fancy to Si Nian and secretly brought his nephew to see her. The nephew also liked her very much. He fell in love with her as soon as they met. He kept thinking about her every day and kept urging him to propose marriage. But who knew that there would be an obstacle.
The nephew of the drugstore owner has a good family background. He is also handsome. But after seeing Li Changxiao, the drugstore owner gave up the idea. He also thought that Si Nian was not a woman who was moved by money. When she looked at Li Changxiao, she was full of joy and affection. Every move showed that she must have thought deeply, missed him, and waited for him for a long time. He dared not mention the marriage proposal again. Just thinking about it, he felt sorry for his nephew. How could he not think deeply and miss him? Unfortunately, it is not suitable.
The owner of the medicine shop sighed again and again as he watched the two of them leave the medicine shop, talking and laughing. But how could he know that they both had their own pain of missing each other. Who in this world can have everything go smoothly? His life span is only a hundred years, and even if it is bitter and painful, and he cannot get it, it is just a few decades of torture. But for those who have a long life span, the pain of being cut by a blunt knife will last more than a hundred years.
It is hard to say whether this temporary companionship is a blessing or a curse.
Si Nian wanted to build a fence in front of the small wooden house. Because the wooden house was remote, every night some foxes and wild animals would come and mess up the vegetable garden. In addition, he wanted to add a bathing room and place two large bathing barrels.
This money should be spent carefully. Li Changxiao found a bamboo forest, cut bamboo to make a fence, and finished it in half a day. Si Nian kicked it hard twice, and it was very strong. He kept giving Li Changxiao a thumbs up and praised him generously. He called him Brother Li.
The next step was to build the bathing room. Right behind the wooden house, Li Changxiao first dug a drainage channel that extended all the way to the nearby creek, then cut down trees to lay the foundation, and piled up one by one. Li Changxiao was strong and powerful, so he was very good at this kind of work. In less than half a day, he had built the bathing room.
Days passed like this, one after another. Summer passed and autumn came. The weather was clear and the leaves turned yellow. One day, a young man climbed the mountain and waded through the water, came to the couple's small residence and knocked on the door.
It turned out that the nephew of the owner of the medicine shop was getting married. The owner of the medicine shop remembered that Si Nian often sent her herbs, so he invited her to attend the banquet. The young man came to run errands and deliver the invitation.
That night, Si Nian hesitated whether to go or not. Li Chang smiled and said, "Of course I have to go, just to share in the joy." Si Nian was happy and sad, muttering to himself, "Drinking the newlywed wine together, how can it be considered staying together forever."
