The Three-Life Stone

Chapter 38 Greed

The clouds look like clothes and the flowers look like beauty. The spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is gorgeous. If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon on the Jade Terrace.

Mountains and rivers are interdependent. Luxi and Qin Yunhuai are playing and fighting. Luxi's brisk figure shuttles through the mountains and forests, transforming into a white fox and leaving a white afterimage, just like an elf.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the trees.

Qin Yunhuai was running behind her and looking at her back, feeling emotional: Luxi, go run in the mountains and forests, you belong to this nature, you are always free. I hope every moment with you and me will be so happy. I will be satisfied just by looking at your back.

Luxi ran back, grabbed Qin Yunhuai's hand, rushed forward, and said with a smile, "Why are you so slow?"

The scattered sunlight shone on her face, making her smile even brighter.

Winter goes and spring comes, new buds grow on the dead trees, it is March when the warblers sing, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the gentle breeze blows, scattering pink petals all over the sky.

"Yun Huai, do you think I look good like this?" Lu Xi danced among the flower petals.

In the hot summer, I will accompany you to enjoy the breeze under the locust tree and taste the soft, sweet and juicy peaches. When the warm wind blows, the white petals of the locust flowers fall, bringing a touch of fragrance.

"Although peaches are nutritious, don't eat too many of them. They may cause stomachaches." Qin Yunhuai snatched the bitten peach from Lu Xi's hand and stuffed it into his own mouth.

The autumn breeze is blowing, the maple leaves are like fire, and the afterglow of the setting sun is shining on the earth. It seems like you have come to another world. The begonias are swaying in the wind, and the fragrance of osmanthus is wafting for miles.

"Hmm~ Yunhuai is great, this osmanthus wine is really good, delicious." Luxi shook the wine glass, smelled it, took a sip and said.

"A little drunkenness can help you feel better, but don't drink too much." Qin Yunhuai advised like a parent.

Only this winter, in the cold month of winter, with ice and snow all around, there is no trace of you by my side.

Smoke is floating, snow is falling. Snow is piling up on the plum blossom branches, where is spring coming from? Drunk eyes open, sleepy eyes open, where are the sparse shadows? Follow the instructions to stop the pipe and urge.

Qin Yunhuai was lying in the cave, looking at the empty side beside him. He was not sad. He would always remember the days they spent together in his heart. The mountains and rivers had turned dusk, and it was time to go to bed. Although they did not sleep on the same pillow, they only wished to have the same dream. This was his last wish.

She would leave, and he had been prepared for it since he fell in love with her.

North.

Si Yu stopped Jiang Chen and asked, "What are you doing? You are hugging me so mysteriously and smiling in such a lewd way."

Jiang Chen looked around and picked up a green grape with his sleeve and stuffed it into Si Yu's mouth: "Hey, how is it, sweet or not? This bunch is all mine, given to me by Madam Xia."

"What? You were reluctant when you went there before, but you were bribed by a bunch of grapes?" Si Yu said as he picked another green grape and put it in his mouth.

"Alright, alright, this is the last one. You know you can't buy this crystal grape even if you have money. I want to save it for later."

"Come on, this thing is so sweet, ants really love it, don't let it go bad or get eaten by ants."

"Ah~ I forgot. What should I do? Eat it all at once? It's so annoying." Jiang Chen looked at Si Yu in annoyance and stomped his feet.

Si Yu touched Jiang Chen's head and said, "What's the big deal? Take the basin and the rope and I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You'll know if you go."

In a moment, Jiang Chen pointed at a well and asked, "Why did you bring me here? To fetch water to wash and eat?"

Si Yu flicked Jiang Chen's head and said, "Why are you so stupid? Usually no one draws water from this well. The temperature of this natural well water is relatively low, so it's no problem to store the fruit for two or three days. Later, you can add some ice cubes on top of the fruit and make a water barrier underneath so that the ice cubes can melt into water. Next time, you can continue to add ice cubes so that it can be stored for a longer time. It's in a deep well, so you don't have to worry about insects smelling the odor. But I still remind you to finish eating early."

Jiang Chen rubbed his head and tried to guard his head as usual. Since he provided a plan to solve the problem in his mind this time, he would forgive him for the time being: "That makes sense. This way the ice will not melt so easily, and we don't have to worry about it all the time. Besides, with my friendship, it's not difficult to get some ice every day."

The next day, Jiang Chen was walking in the corridor with his head down. Si Yu saw him and asked with amusement, "What's the matter? What could have made us, such a passionate man, so listless?"

Jiang Chen heard Si Yu's joke and raised his head to take a glance before lowering his head and saying, "It's still that fruit."

"Were the fruits stolen? This shouldn't be possible." Si Yu said with a slightly more serious expression.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "No, I asked someone to exchange ice cubes for them today. I tasted them and found that the iced grapes tasted better. I couldn't help it and ate them all. Now there are only some ice cubes left."

Si Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard Jiang Chen's explanation. This was indeed something he could do.

"You're still laughing. I was planning to eat for several days. I ate a lot today, but I won't have anything to eat tomorrow."

"That's not the truth. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe because you're working too hard, some grapes will fall into the water tomorrow. Then you can eat them all, so they won't be wasted."

Jiang Chen straightened his head and said, "Eh? Right, this way at least I can eat them all and they are mine, but do you think I would be stupid enough to drop them into the well?"

"That's not the case. I'm just giving you an example. Maybe you come here tomorrow and a group of people come to you for something. Then they find your grapes and you ask them if you can share some with them."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Indeed, with my generous personality, others will at least give me two when they see me. If there are too many people, I won't be able to eat more than a few. Maybe everyone will eat them all and then say behind my back that I'm hiding them."

Si Yu touched Jiang Chen's head and said, "Right, so this is all fate."

"ēmmm, ěn, èn." Jiang Chen nodded after thinking for a while, and then he realized that this brat was actually messing with his hairstyle again. He really deserved a beating. Before he could slap him, he saw Si Yu had walked away, and when he heard his movement, he turned around and grinned.

"Ah~ Mr. Si, you're going too far. I've told you so many times that you can break your head and bleed, but you can't mess up your hair."

Si Yu turned around and made a face that said "shut up".

"Humph, it's always like this. You're just jealous that I'm more handsome than you, right? You're worried that I'll find a wife before you, right?" Jiang Chen said as he fixed his hair.

I took advantage of the patrol time to sneak into the imperial study, took a look through the water in the jar, hmm~ he is still as handsome and elegant as before.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, I'm here again to help the emperor find out what to eat recently."

Jiang Chen quickly jumped up and covered the man's mouth. He looked around and fortunately, everyone was busy and there was no one around. He then let go of his hand and whispered, "Hey, don't flatter me. Don't you know I'm doing this for the emperor? I was discussing cooking with you."

"I just saw you sneaking around there, so I took advantage of no one around to tease you."

"Don't do that. You're the only one who knows my problem. I occasionally come to you to taste a few bites of your cooking. If others find out, my image will be ruined. Besides, I wasn't sneaking around just now. I was just checking to see if your water is clean."

"Of course not. I am here just to try out the dishes for me and discuss cooking skills. I understand. We are brothers. You took care of me when I had problems. I will definitely satisfy you with this little thing."

"You are a loyal brother." Jiang Chen bumped his fists.
