Eaglewood Crumbs - Chapter 30
Yan Dan listened to the sound of water rushing outside, and then looked at the hourglass beside the low table. There were two hours left before the Dragon Boat Festival had passed. She always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, her eyes suddenly fell on the basket of glutinous rice and chestnut bacon.
You must eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival.
She rolled up her sleeves and started wrapping zongzi. After a dozen or so pieces of bacon and chestnut dumplings were wrapped, there was still some ingredients left, so I simply wrapped the chestnut and bacon together, and squeezed the glutinous rice into a fish shape. She now recalled what happened to Yu Mo today, with no sympathy left, but she wanted to laugh.
Yan Dan wrapped all the rice dumplings in zong leaves, put them in a steamer and steamed them, and then leaned over to look at Yu Mo gently. She stretched out a finger and poked him lightly. She didn’t move at all, and she increased her hand strength, but she didn’t move at all. Yan Dan felt strange, so he reached under the blanket and pulled his face out.
As soon as Yan Dan stretched out his hand, he felt that something was wrong. Now it is obviously more than May, and he won’t be cold even in single clothes, but his whole body is cold, as if immersed in ice. She touched Yu Mo’s cheek, her tentacles were slippery, startled, and hurriedly lowered her body to look in front of him.
Yu Mo’s face was pale, her long eyebrows frowned tightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a few bluish-black scales on her cheeks flickered. He felt that someone was pulling him out of the blanket without knowing it, and he had to slowly open his eyes.
Yan Dan looked at the red eyes that were close at hand, and his heart moved, as if he had been familiar with it before, and stared at him blankly.
For a long time, I only heard Yu Mo weakly say: “What do you want to do?”
Yan Dan asked softly: “Have I seen you before?”
“Have you seen me, don’t you know it yourself?”
“That’s no more. But I always feel as if I should recognize you before…”
Yu Mo sighed softly, “Have you been making trouble? Wait for me tomorrow, and let you watch enough. Is this OK?”
Yan Dan realized that the two were close together, and she even felt her breath, but she was just like that, holding Yu Mo’s neck, she saw that she was ecstatic…a drop of cold sweat immediately slid down, and she quickly retracted her hand and withdrew. The steamer sits upright on the side. Yu Mo was weak. As soon as she let go, she slammed her head on the boat board.
Yan Dan suddenly sweated, and Ai Ai said, “Mountain Lord…”
Yu Mo raised his hand to cover his forehead, with a bad tone: “That’s enough, you say a word of nonsense and wait to be buried! I can do it, and it’s useless if you cry and beg someone!”
Yan Dan was silent.
The sand in the hourglass slowly flows down, and in a blink of an eye there is already a little bit left.
Yan Dan calculated the time and felt that the temperature of the rice dumplings was almost over, so he turned off the heat and opened the steamer. The scent of the zong leaves and the scent of zongzi came out, Yan Dan picked out the fish-shaped zongzi and closed the steamer. She used scissors to cut the thread that tied the rice dumpling leaves, puffed out the rice dumpling leaves, and took a nice bite.
Before she could swallow it, Yu Mo moved slightly, lifted the blanket and sat up, but did not move.
Yan Dan thought about what Yu Mo had warned her before. If she spoke now, would she be buried? But if she doesn’t speak, Yu Mo will definitely dislike her for being not considerate and meticulous, and will eventually be buried. Before and after, she had to be disliked, it was still the road behind that was a good deal, at least she still said a word.
“Mountain Lord, are you better?”
Yu Mo pushed aside the blanket and whispered: “It’s much better.” He slowly stood up, picked up a single garment, opened the curtain of the boat, and went out: “I’m going to wash it.”
Yan Dan was agitated, and quickly grabbed the dry cloth that was rubbing his body and chased it out: “Mountain Lord, you still have injuries on your body. You can’t get water on the wound…”
Yu Mo stretched out his hand and touched his back, and said lightly: “It’s okay, it’s scarred.”
“Scarring…?” Yan Dan only felt a thunderbolt exploded on her head, “It’s over, Bailing will kill me…”
“Huh?” Yu Mo didn’t hear clearly, frowning unconsciously.
“Mountain Lord, you are not in good shape yet, why not let me help you first–” Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Mo had already put down her single clothes and stepped directly into the water, “…Wipe yourself.”
Yan Dan was very depressed.
After a while, I saw Yu Mo* coming up from the water, glanced at her, and said lightly: “Aren’t you going to help me wipe my body?”
Yan Dan had to take a dry cloth and put it on his shoulders, slowly wiping it down. She has never served others in this way in her life, and now she really does it, but there is no resistance. Could it be that she has lived so long in the good life in the Klanlan Mountain Realm and has become so unpromising?
Yan Dan was very depressed again, holding Yu Mo’s back blankly. She looked at the scar on his back, and suddenly remembered Bailing’s nagging, she couldn’t help but hold the thought of luck: Now I wonder if this scar can be removed with black magic? Even if it can’t leave no trace, at least it should be so light that it looks like an old wound.
Just as she was about to put her thoughts into action, Yu Mo let out a long sigh and said lightly: “Okay, you don’t need to wipe it, I’ll do it myself.”
“No!”
Yu Mo looked at her inexplicably, “Why not?”
Yan Dan was silent for a moment, and had to say, “It’s nothing, Shanzhu, the rice dumplings are already steamed.” It seems that this matter has to be discussed in the long term. In the coming days, she didn’t believe that she could fix a scar before returning to the Klanglan Mountain.
Yan Dan picked the steaming bacon dumplings out of the steamer, cut the thin thread, peeled the dumpling leaves and put them in a plate. When Yu Mo came in, he just peeled off two zongzi. She picked up a pair of chopsticks, leaned over to Yu Mo’s hand, and then lowered her head to take a bite on the special fish-shaped dumpling.
Yu Mo took the chopsticks but didn’t move it. Instead, he looked at the one in her hand: “You are also rice dumplings?”
Yan Danxian held the zongzi on his hand like a zongzi to show him: “Look, I pinched it, it looks like a fish?” Yu Mo held it with one hand and smiled at the corner of his mouth: “You pinch the zongzi. What does it mean to become a fish?”
“…Cough!” Yan Dan choked.
If there are any intentions, it is probably because you are too fate with fish today, so you can’t help but shape it into a fish shape. Of course, if today is not the Dragon Boat Festival, but the spring equinox outing to feed the rabbit, she will pinch a rabbit shape.
I saw Yu Mo slowly leaning over, took a bite on the fish-shaped rice dumpling with her hand, and then smiled slightly: “It tastes good.”
Yan Dan couldn’t help choking again, and quickly noted in his heart: Yu Mo smiled beautifully for no reason, it must have ulterior motives. At this time, she still lowered her head to drink water and pretended not to see it more stable. She picked up the cup and took a sip. Before she could swallow it, Yu Mo simply reached out to hold her wrist, leaned in and bit off the tail of the fish-shaped dumpling.
“…Puff!” Yan Dan sprayed.
Then, things did not end like this. Although there was no vigorous opening, at least it was still vigorous at the end. They had a smooth journey back to the Kuanglan Mountains. On the way, assassins continued to assassinate and poison them in secret, and finally used lime powder.
Yan Dan was very moisturized, and the methods of torture continued to emerge.
“If you know that you will get so much trouble, you will leave it to those two people in Nandu.” Yu Mo pinched the Fuxi arithmetic book, feeling upset.
Yan Danqi said: “Isn’t that Pei Luo the son of Xiangfu? Where did you provoke these many enemies? Could it be that the debt is not repaid?”
“He is no longer the son of Xiangfu. Haven’t you heard of it? At the end of last year, this world is their Pei family.”
At that time, she had just arrived at the Kuanglan Mountain Realm, but the situation outside had changed drastically. Yan Dan suddenly realized: “So, Da Zhou is in a battle for the throne of the emperor, and Young Master Pei has brothers. They began to pinch each other for the throne, pinching and pinching even the means of assassination and poisoning.” She finally decided. The next conclusion: “Emperors and generals must have had a very fulfilling life. There are often rebellions, peace rebellions, imperial courts, and vendettas.”
Yu Mo glanced at her, then looked down at the book, and felt that it was really unwise to bring this up to her.
It’s just that those assassins came time and time again, and suddenly stopped coming. Yan Dan waited from morning till night, and began to fidget. Getting used to it is really a must.
Yu Mo listened to her rustling and didn’t know what she was tossing about. Although she was facing the booklet, but the block letters caught her eye, and she didn’t know what was said, she had to put aside the book: “Yan Dan!”
Yan Dan immediately put down the pile of things in his hand, and said innocently and obediently: “I don’t think those people will come anymore. The previous assassins still have things left with me. I plan to throw them away.”
Yu Mo glanced at her suspiciously, and didn’t delve into it any further. After a while, I saw Yan Dan holding a bunch of things out of the cabin, and then there was the sound of things falling into the water. On the contrary, he was a little suspicious. If she had been so obedient early in the morning, that would be fine, but it would be too strange to come out suddenly now.
Unexpectedly, Yan Dan returned to the cabin and sat obediently on the mat next to him, staying silent and motionless.
Yu Mo had a problem, and he couldn’t get into the complicated Fuxi skills, so he had to wash up hastily, turn off the light and sleep. He turned his head by accident, only to see Yan Dan’s eyes burning, staring at his hand that opened his robe. He couldn’t help frowning, and slowly took off his robe, only to see Yan Dan’s eyes become more eager.
Yu Mo thought that he had made a mistake, so he lay down and turned to the other side.
After a while, Yan Dan walked over slowly and spoke softly in his ear: “Mountain Lord, you have to take off your clothes to sleep to be comfortable.”
Yu Mo stiffened, “That’s it, you go to sleep.”
Yan Dan sighed softly, “Yes, Shanzhu.”
Yu Mo glanced at her and saw that the expression on her face was clearly disappointed. He raised his hand to support his forehead, thinking that he should have made a mistake this time. Thinking of this, I only felt a pair of soft hands stretched out, one hand was pinching his shoulders, and the other hand was still touching his back. Yu Mo sat up all of a sudden, and almost blurted out the sentence “What do you want to do?” It’s just that once this sentence is too embarrassing, he abruptly resists it.
Seeing him sit up, Yan Dan immediately asked for advice humbly: “Is it right that I pinched it hard?”
Yu Mo looked at her for a while, and said lightly: “I think you are tired too, so go to bed early.”
Yan Dan lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I fell asleep now.”
Yu Mo was tossed twice by her like this, and she was no longer sleepy, so she had to close her eyes and rest. I don’t know how long it took, only two slight noises came from behind him, but the faint scent of sage on Yan Dan’s body became clearer. At this time, if he made a sound, both of them would be embarrassed and they would not move.
I only feel that Yan Dan slowly lifted the blanket on him, not knowing what to do with him. Yu Mo heard her suddenly let out a long sigh, and thought she had had enough trouble, but her next action was to pull the outermost thin shirt out of him. If he really fell asleep, he wouldn’t be aware of it.
“Fortunately, I can take off my clothes, otherwise it won’t be…” Yan Dan murmured.
Yu Mo really didn’t know what to say, but after hesitating, Yan Dan’s hand was already on the belt of his shirt. He had to change his sleeping position and deliberately slowed down his movements, thinking that Yan Dan would retreat sensibly. Unexpectedly, Yan Dan was nervously dealing with the complicated knots on his clothes, and seeing that Yu Mo was asleep, he confidently continued to untie his clothes, Yu Mo was sideways, just pressing her hands under her.
Yu Mo opened her eyes unbearably, only to see her looking at herself with a guilty expression on her face, and then looking down at her clothes, even the front of the jacket was torn apart by her: “What do you want?”
Yan Dan squatted and said, “I see you, you… it’s uncomfortable to sleep after wearing so much!”
Yu Mo was expressionless: “For another reason.”
“…Okay, I want to see if the injury on your back is healed.” Then secretly turned the marks into old wounds, so that Bailing would not blame her on her head.
Yu Mo said softly, “You don’t have to always remember it in your heart. It was you that day, even if you changed Zilin or Bailing, I will do the same.”
Yan Dan was in distress, so he responded in a low voice and crawled to the other side to sleep unwillingly.
She originally thought that there would be another two or three days away from the Kuanglan Mountain Realm. She was not in a hurry for a while, but she would never have succeeded until she stepped into the Kuanglan Mountain Realm.
After returning to the Kuanglan Mountain, Yan Dan had a peaceful life for several days. Yu Mo also asked Bai Ling to give her fresh fruits twice, and when Bai Ling saw her, they talked with her usual affectionate affection. Yan Dan couldn’t help but secretly laughed that he was worried too much, even if he didn’t take such precautions.
On the tenth day, she had completely forgotten the matter, and at noon she led the hot spring into the tub, and took a bath safely.
But when she was getting drowsy by the heat, she heard the door slam and was kicked open, Bai Ling stood at the door with a grim expression: “Yan Dan, how many times have I told you, you But I didn’t listen at all! What happened to the scar on the mountain lord’s body?!”
Before Yan Dan had time to quibble, he saw a small head sticking out from behind Bai Ling, who was Dan Shu. When Dan Shu saw her, he smiled innocently and cutely: “Sister Yan Dan, are you taking a bath?” Yan Dan grasped the edge of the tub, and couldn’t think of a way to get Bailing and Dan Shu out immediately.
“Oh? Who is still taking a bath at noon, it’s really hard to raise…” A low and frivolous voice came, and Yuan Dan also appeared at the door, squinting his eyes and rubbing his chin playfully, “Well, Yan Dan, also Not bad…”
Yan Dan shrank in the water and couldn’t even say a word smoothly: “You, you…”
“What are you all squeezing here for?” Zi Lin leaned in and took a look, immediately showing a disgusting expression, “Yan Dan, you don’t close the door for a bath at noon, what do you want?”
“You, you…I…” Yan Dan was already speechless.
“Bailing, you were murderous just now–” Yu Mo paced from outside, saw the situation in front of him, turned his head awkwardly, “What’s the matter?”
“Probably it was Yan Dan who wanted to seduce someone. The shower didn’t close the door.” Zi Lin disdained.
“No, that’s not the case. Sister Yan Dan closed the door.” Dan Shu started to defend Yan Dan.
Yuan Dan touched his head and said kindly: “Dan Shu, listen to your father, you are still young, you can’t peek at the girl in the bath, you can watch it later.”
Bai Ling pointed to Yuan Dan’s nose and said, “You are not a good thing, don’t teach Dan Shu!”
“What is your business for me to discipline my children, Long Tongue Bird?”
“Bailing, what do you want Yan Dan to do? Even if something is serious, you don’t have to break the door directly.” Zi Lin is very serious, “Yuan Dan, so are you. Everyone give in, don’t make things so bad.”
“You guys…” Yan Dan was anxious, and the group of them quarreled and chatted as if she didn’t exist, and said in a trembled voice, “You all get out and go out for me!” She was so watched. , The demon in the mountain realm is too barbarous and shameless.
In the end, Yu Mo drove everyone away and closed the door. Yan Dan was heartbroken and couldn’t get up in the tub for a long while.
For a long time after that, Yan Dan had a lot of knots about bathing.
In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came, and Xia Hua thanked Qiuyue, and Yan Dan had spent the tenth year in Kuanglan Mountain. She never knew she would stay in one place for so long.
At dawn in the east, Yu Mo stood on the bow, reaching out to Yan Dan, smiling at the corner of his mouth: “I want to go for a walk, do you want to go together?”
Yan Dan took his hand and gently jumped onto the boat.
“Where do you want to go this time?”
“Well… Mobei. There are sands, sunsets, and deserts…”
Day after day, day after day, day by day; year by year, year by year.
She really likes those freedoms.
