Take It Easy Chapter 12

You are a difficult child.

Yang Ling was overwhelmed by the scene in front of her, "Qinglin, you don't know, no matter how full Xiaojiu eats, she always feels that she is still a mouthful away. She did it on purpose. There were only the three of us before, and Yuanzhou and I didn't know who was going to eat." I'm not used to her stinking problem, you are here today. Hahaha, you can serve me, I really can't eat a single bite. Yuan Zhou, how about you?"

Tang Yuanzhou suppressed a smile, "I only have a sip of wine left, and I feel powerless. Mu Qinglin, you take care of the stall, you should find a way to clean it up."

In Mu Qinglin's heart, there was a vague urge to put down the pick, and he was a little resigned to his fate.

Living with these two, Zhou Yi's character can actually be more irritating.

After a while, Mu Qing let out a soft breath before putting the chopsticks spinach into Zhou Yi's bowl.

Zhou Yi held the bowl and pulled it, then twisted most of it to Mu Qinglin, and turned his head, smiled at her obediently, and said, "Thank you..."

Mu Qinglin couldn't take it anymore, and glanced across Zhou Yi's bowl with difficulty, "..."

As long as she kept two vegetable leaves for herself, she felt that what she did just now was all acting.

"Eat slowly, Lingling and I went to the living room to sit, and stayed here to watch our stomachs fill up." Tang Yuanzhou said.

Mu Qinglin wanted to say "I'm not much better than you", but when he said the words, there was a sneaky claw in his peripheral vision, sneaking up from below.

The nerves in Mu Qinglin's legs immediately tensed up, and he firmly said to the two who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal: "I will definitely eat with Teacher Jiu to the end."

After saying that, Mu Qinglin hastily glanced down.

Well, the claws are gone, but this dish…

"Zhou Yi, did I have a grudge against you in my previous life?" Mu Qinglin asked seriously.

Zhou Yi didn't speak, but stuffed the vegetable leaf into his mouth, chewing it very carefully.

Mu Qinglin didn't remember how she walked upright from the table into the bathroom, but she knew that if she didn't burp well, she would have to spit it out on the spot. Looking back at Zhou Yi, she ate just right, and there were a lot of missing bites. Refreshing.

"Are you okay?" Yang Ling, who was clearing the table, saw Mu Qinglin coming out leaning on the wall, half caring, half watching the show.

Mu Qinglin waved his hand, and was already tired of saying a whole sentence.

"Go and rest for a while, I'll take care of the rest." Yang Ling said.

Mu Qinglin, "I'm sorry, I just eat and don't do anything."

"What's the matter, I invite you here, and I can let you work? Go quickly."

"Ok…"

Tang Yuanzhou was alone in the living room.

He took the board and was drawing.

"Where's Zhou Yi?" Mu Qinglin asked casually.

Tang Yuanzhou tilted his head and pointed outside, "Carrying a bag of apples, I went to spend Christmas Eve with Fa Cai."

Mu Qinglin, "Alone?" Zhou Yi can be chased by people when she is sober, but now she is a drunk, how dare she let her out?

Tang Yuanzhou explained, "Xiao Hei follows."

This is okay.

Moreover, Tang Yuanzhou was sitting by the window, so he should be able to see what's going on outside by tilting his head.

Mu Qinglin walked to a place not far from Tang Yuanzhou and leaned against him.

You can also see the outside from this position—Zhou Yi is squatting at the entrance of the alley opposite, with a large bag of apples at his feet, surrounded by cats and dogs. She is counting soldiers and generals, and whoever counts will give apples to whom.

Mu Qinglin looked at it for a while, and found that she was the one who clicked the most.

This approach can be said to be very thoughtful.

Suddenly seeing a man go straight to Zhou Yi and squat down, Mu Qinglin moved from his lazily standing posture.

Tang Yuanzhou followed her gaze and said, "It's okay, that's Lu Chang from Xitou bar."

Mu Qinglin remembered this person, she helped him deliver a cake to Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi called him brother?" Mu Qinglin asked.

The words were blurted out through alcohol. In the past, she would not have asked the same question twice, or two different people. It was too obvious to pry into privacy.

Tang Yuanzhou didn't shy away, "Well. About five or six years ago, Lu Chang was just an adult, and he brought his half-grown younger sister to Hongmen Alley to make a living. Anyone who doesn't know the place well can bully them. The two of them ate a lot. There was no pause, and life was very hard. Later, Lu Chang made a name for himself in the bar by fighting desperately, was appreciated by the boss, and was able to make some money. The life of the brother and sister gradually improved.

But where do you think the pies will fall in vain? At that time, the bruise on Lu Chang's face was not good. His sister was young, and he was afraid of scaring her when he went back, so he had to live in the bar all day long. When he was finally able to go back, he was already lost. These years, Lu Chang would do anything to find his sister in order to earn money, so he was still sincere to Xiao Jiu. "

Different people have different fates, Mu Qinglin can do nothing but sympathize, she looks down at Lu Chang who is handing Zhou Yi an apple and asks: "Why do you prefer Zhou Yi?"

The pen in Tang Yuanzhou's hand paused, sat up and looked outside, "I told you that I picked up Xiao Jiu at the garbage dump, right?"

Mu Qinglin, "I said..."

"Actually, Lingling posted it first when she was throwing out the trash. Xiaojiu, she..." Tang Yuanzhou turned the pen in his hand, his tone was not as calm as before, "At that time, there were many bruises on her body, layer upon layer, all of which were seen Missing places. These are actually okay, there are a few small wounds on the neck that almost killed her."

The weather in July and August was unbearably hot, and it was okay to let the skin break out for four or five days, but the spots on Zhou Yi's neck deteriorated to become inflamed and festered, red, swollen and shocking.

"When Lu Chang was the poorest, he didn't have the money to buy two yuan a bottle of disinfectant. A small scratch on his sister's leg resulted in amputation. In this matter, he always felt guilty and treated Xiaojiu well. It may be to make up for regrets, but Xiao Jiu and his sister's situation are more or less similar, both of which are serious illnesses caused by minor injuries, but Xiao Jiu is safe and sound in the end, and his sister is, alas." Tang Yuanzhou sighed, "Because the resemblance, it is easy Take Xiaojiu as his spiritual sustenance, after all, if his sister's favorite cake can be given away, he can still look forward to seeing you again someday."

"Zhou Yi knows these things?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Tang Yuanzhou, "I know, why would I accept Lu Chang's cake? She hates cream cake the most, and she finds it too boring, but every time Lu Chang brings it to her, she will eat a few bites before throwing it away. And she must find a high-sounding excuse to let others Do it. Didn't you throw it for her too?"

Mu Qinglin nodded, "Throw it away..."

At that time, she thought that Zhou Yi was too doggy, and that she hated people for eating people, but she didn't expect that there were so many things behind it.

What Yang Ling said before is correct, Zhou Yi really knows how to feel sorry for others, even if she doesn't want to.

Mu Qinglin frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "How did she get those injuries?"

"I don't know, Hongmen Lane is a place where there are more fleas. If there is a slight disturbance, everyone will know about it. If it was made here, it is impossible for me not to know. It must have been injured when it came."

Tang Yuanzhou said: "But she doesn't mention the past, and we don't bother to ask. Anyway, the support is gone, so it's easier not to ask."

Mu Qinglin, "It's also..."

The silence lasted for a while.

When Mu Qinglin saw Lu Chang leaving, Zhou Yi didn't speak the whole time, and didn't even look up at Lu Chang.

"Xiao Jiu sympathizes with Lu Chang, but doesn't like him." Tang Yuanzhou said.

This is obvious.

It was also the same day when the cake was delivered. Zhou Yi mentioned that Lu Chang frowned and said "he" without emotion, and didn't say a word.

"Because Lu Chang only regards her as his spiritual sustenance?" Mu Qinglin asked.

Tang Yuanzhou, "No, Lu Chang is really kind to her."

"why?"

"Lu Chang's way of making money is not clean. Xiao Jiu is afraid that something will happen to him sooner or later, so she won't listen to him, so when she sees him, she hangs her face and doesn't speak well."

"Would Lu Chang still be like this if he had another way?"

"He has no other choice."

After finishing speaking, Tang Yuanzhou changed the subject and told Mu Qinglin, "Don't mention these things to Xiao Jiu today. I don't care about what happened before. I just care about her doing well in the future. She will tear down my roof if she has the ability. If you don't have the skills, just make a fuss. People, you have to look forward, Xiao Jiu has already done it."

Mu Qinglin turned around, "Since this is the case, why tell me, wouldn't it be better if one less person knew?"

The gloom on Tang Yuanzhou's face was swept away, his shoulders were pressed against the wall, and he smiled jokingly, "Xiao Jiu has no friends, and there are many people who can give her a hard time, so Lingling and I will take less pain from her, why not ?”

"You husband and wife really have a good understanding." Mu Qinglin had a headache, "I shouldn't have picked up cats for her back then."

Tang Yuanzhou shrugged easily, "It's too late to say anything now, did I know to ask you for help before I saw Xiao Jiu was drunk? Mu Qinglin, you can't run away."

She didn't want to run, but she didn't know if her heart could take it after a long time.

"Here, I'm looking for you again." Tang Yuanzhou pointed outside with his chin.

"Huh?" Mu Qinglin followed Tang Yuanzhou's gaze and turned his head.

Drunk nine was still squatting in the alley, when she saw her looking over, he raised his hand and hooked his fingers at her coolly.

"..." Why was it even more annoying when I was drunk?

Mu Qinglin didn't reply to Zhou Yi, straightened up and said to Tang Yuanzhou, "I'll go and have a look."

"Go..." Tang Yuanzhou's attention has returned to the drawing board.

The snow was about to stop outside, and when the wind blew, it was bitingly cool.

Mu Qinglin went to Zhou Yi and squatted down, and asked her, "Teacher Jiu, what instruction?"

Teacher Jiu took a look at her, then lay down on her knees again, and continued to order troops.

Mu Qinglin was puzzled.

Could it be that Teacher Jiu called her here to show how vast his territory is?

Mu Qinglin counted the heads of cats and dogs carefully.

Hey, thirteen, it can be said that it is quite magnificent, it is worthy of the hard work of the nine teachers.

"Meow..." Fa Cai recognized Mu Qinglin, decisively abandoned Zhou Yi, and put his head on Mu Qinglin's ankle to act coquettishly.

Mu Qinglin was overwhelmed by the flattery, and wanted to borrow an apple from Zhou Yi's hand in return to make a fortune.

Not wanting to be seen by Zhou Yi, she raised her hand and spilled the remaining few dollars.

She was wrong, Zhou Yi said that this person is a hedgehog on the surface, but his dog nature is hard to change.

Mu Qinglin had no choice but to fumble in her pocket.

Tsk, she's had enough of being a reporter today, and she still has a bag of biscuits in her pocket.

It has been Mu Qinglin's personal habit for a long time to bring some snacks with him.

Sometimes I suddenly go out on location and run for hours without any dry food on my body.

Mu Qinglin tore open the biscuit bag, broke off a piece and threw it at Fa Cai's feet.

Fa Cai went over to sniff it, and meowed like last time to let Mu Qinglin feed him.

Mu Qing was amused, "Didn't I say that my hand can only press the head?"

She rubbed her fingers, and stretched one to the top of Fa Cai's head.

He was about to meet him, and suddenly found that Jiu beside him was staring at him.

Mu Qinglin stood still and turned to look at Zhou Yi.

She is looking at the cookie in her hand.

"Want to eat?" Mu Qinglin moved forward and sent some.

Zhou Yi blinked, raised his head to meet Mu Qinglin's gaze, "Do you want to touch my head too?"

That's what I said.

Are people and cats the same?

Even if she wanted to act according to Zhou Yi, she had to dare.

Inexplicably skillful.

Mu Qinglin was not reconciled, and wanted to say "yes", and paused when his eyes glanced at Zhou Yi's neck, which was too careless to hide because he was drunk.

She is very fair, with delicate skin, and there are no superfluous marks on her neck.

If Tang Yuanzhou hadn't mentioned it, who would have thought that she had been injured and suppurated, so severe that she almost died of it.

It's just a few small wounds, how long will it take and how bad the situation is to become like that?

Mu Qinglin withdrew her hand, looked into Zhou Yi's eyes and said, "No..."

Zhou Yi stared at Mu Qinglin without moving, and answered her two familiar words clearly, "Liar..."

Mu Qinglin chuckled, "I'm not kidding you, Fa Cai is a stray cat on the side of the road, I'll tease it for fun, you..."

Zhou Yi was teased by Mu Qinglin's sudden pause, she locked Mu Qinglin's eyes tightly with drunken bright eyes, waiting for her to finish speaking.

Mu Qinglin raised his hand and flicked her finger on the tip of her cold red nose, and said with a smile, "You are a difficult child."
