Soul knot

Seeing that Manzhu looked at the cake and hesitated for a long time, Lu Yudong looked for the angle for a long time, but still couldn't get the knife down, so he couldn't help but smiled, took the plastic knife, and cut it with one knife.

The cartoon snake drawn by the red jam had its head cut off in an instant.

"It's so cruel." Lu Yudong sighed embarrassingly, "I just thought it was my sister's birthday, so I had someone draw this little red snake... I never thought about what to cut."

Manzhu laughed for a while, and took the cake that Lu Yudong had cut for herself: "I just think it's cute, and I'm a little bit reluctant."

Lu Yudong happily said, "Do you really think it's cute?"

"Really, very cute." Manzhu said, looked down at the skirt on her body, and said softly, "The skirt is also pretty."

Lu Yudong lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, the slightly raised corners of his lips were full of joy in his heart.

Manzhu likes the gift she gave.

Even though the dress and cake only cost about three hundred yuan, which was insignificant compared to what Manzhu had given her, she finally celebrated Manzhu's birthday and gave a gift that was not rejected.

That afternoon, Man Zhu, who had never worn modern clothes, was really wearing the dress that Lu Yudong gave her, holding Lu Yudong's hand, and going together was not an old friend.

The moment Manzhu opened the door and walked into someone who was not an old friend, the little demons who were cleaning were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.

Especially Gou Hongjie, who stared straight into his eyes until he heard Xiaozhi coughing twice from the side, then he looked back guiltily.

"Sister Manzhu, you are so beautiful today!" Huanxi ran over from not far away, and looked around for half a circle, with a bit of envy and jealousy in his eyes, "When you first came in, I almost didn't dare recognize!"

"What dare not admit it?" Manzhu smiled lightly, Lu Yudong was holding milk tea in one hand and holding Manzhu's arm in the other, his eyes were full of smiles.

"I've never seen you dressed up like this before!" Huanxi said, seeming to have realized something, and hurriedly added, "I didn't mean to say that you are usually not good-looking, but I just wanted to say that you are very special today. It's a completely different beauty than usual!"

Manzhu readily accepted Huanxi's rainbow fart, and was about to take Lu Yudong inside when she heard a familiar voice from upstairs.

"Hey, where is this city beauty from?" It turned out that Mu Shenshan came down from the second floor, he walked up to Manzhu, looked Manzhu up and down, and said in surprise, "Tsk tsk, the sun is hitting the west Come out? When did you start to accept new things? I told you to dress normally, didn’t you say you don’t like it?”

"Sent by Yudong." Manzhu raised her eyebrows, pulled the hem of the skirt and twirled gracefully, and asked with bent eyebrows, "Does it look good?"

Mu Shenshan gave Lu Yudong a thumbs up: "Little girl is quite mature in aesthetics, very good, very suitable for your sister Manzhu."

When Lu Yudong heard the compliment, he squinted and smiled.

"For you have vision." Manzhu brushed her long hair, and led Lu Yudong to walk in.

Mu Shenshan stood behind and shouted: "Honghong, you can dress like this from now on, don't make it look like you're going to celebrate the Hanfu Festival every day."

Manzhu shook her head, and replied, "I only have one dress like this."

Mu Shenshan said: "Women, don't think it's expensive to buy some clothes for yourself."

Manzhu turned around and glanced at Mu Shenshan, and said with a smile, "It's not from Yudong, I don't like it, and I'm not used to it."

What he said was full of pampering, Lu Yudong couldn't help but blush.

It turned out that Manzhu didn't like this skirt at all, she was willing to wear it, it had nothing to do with whether it looked good or not, it was all because...it was a gift from her.

Thinking of this, Lu Yudong felt a little more joy in his heart.

"Honghong, to be honest, it's not surprising that you look good in this dress. Habits can be cultivated." Mu Shenshan followed behind Manzhu, and the mother-in-law and mother got up, "Even if an old antique is unearthed, you have to adapt to the new one." The air of the times, right?"

Manzhu stopped, turned around and said, "You have the right to say that about me, men in the new era don't have long hair."

Mu Shenshan spread his hands: "Isn't this the parents of the body, hair and skin?"

After hearing this, Manzhu asked nonchalantly, "Oh? Do you still remember which mountain your parents are from?"

Mu Shenshan was speechless for a moment, after a moment of silence, he rolled his eyes, turned around and left, no longer asking for fun.

Lu Yudong looked at Manzhu in puzzlement, and asked curiously in a low voice, "Will the goblin forget her relatives and hometown because she has lived too long?"

Manzhu pulled Lu Yudong to sit down, touched her head, and said: "Fairies are different from human beings. The father and mother of a goblin may not necessarily be goblins, and they may just be a person with a short lifespan. Ordinary creatures give birth to a goblin that can live for thousands of years, even if they take good care of it, they can't live that long. Not to mention there are those who don't want to raise it."

Manzhu said that most goblins are the same, they have begun to wander alone before they grow up, the so-called family relationship, for them, is just the most distant and ignorant past in the long years.As you get older, you will naturally forget about it.

Manzhu remembered that Mu Shenshan had said that he had no feelings for his parents, and that his parents hadn't enlightened their wits, and seeing that he was born out of gregariousness, they threw him away.

Mu Shenshan was not originally a demon from Shennongjia, but he came to Shennongjia before he cultivated his human form.

At that time, the big hideous scar on the guy's neck hadn't healed yet. If he encountered a prey that struggled fiercely while hunting, the wound would open, and it didn't know how to treat the wound. Worse and worse injuries torment myself.

The wound was already very close to the vitals, and it was infected and suppurated due to repeated cracking. This kind of pain made it weaker and weaker. As a result, it clearly had a strong racial advantage, but most of the time it was hungry and hid around. I am afraid that things will go wrong.

Later, Yan Zhaomu, who had escaped from its mouth, happened to see it dying, and went mad for some reason, dragged it back to its habitat, and took good care of it.

At that time, the other weak and small snakes in the mountain were very frightened by Yan Zhaomu's actions. You must know that what it rescued was a big flat neck from outside.

Thinking about it now, I feel sad.

At that time more than 2000 years ago, who would have imagined that a big flat neck that looked so aggressive would be a harmless big counselor?

Back then, Manzhu really advised Yan Chaomu not to meddle in his own business, but it was just a big flat neck from outside, who would eat the same kind without any reason, and it would be nice not to kill it while it was weak, so there is no way to make a move The reason for saving each other?

Fortunately, Yan Zhaomu finally saved it, and luckily he saved it once, otherwise everyone would not know who to turn to for salary today.

"Uncle Mu seems to have suffered a lot when he was a child." Lu Yudong couldn't stop feeling emotional.

"In the deep mountains and wild forests, where the weak eat the strong, it's perfectly normal." Manzhu said, patted the back of Lu Yudong's hand lightly, and said with a smile, "I don't know what happened to your little uncle Mu, but the injury is still the same. He got better a little bit, but the injury was on his neck, he had a crooked neck for a long time after he turned into a human, and he was laughed at by everyone in the mountains for a long time before he slowly corrected it."

"What about little master, did you talk like this before?"

Manzhu nodded: "He was brought back by an eagle. He didn't like to talk since he was a child. In fact, he is much better now. In the past, he was just a little dumb."

"Don't eagles eat snakes?" Lu Yudong asked curiously.

"Eat it. But that eagle has become a master, and its taste is a bit picky. I don't eat raw ones, but I must eat cooked ones. I bumped into it when it was cooking." Manzhu said, "I can't let a bird tribe be a In front of me, put my family members into the pot and cook them?"

Lu Yudong burst out laughing, it turned out that the goblins in the deep mountains are so particular.

The eagle has to cook cooked food by itself, and the animal world has never photographed this kind of material. If it is really about to be photographed, it will definitely shock the whole Internet.

"Then, are there still goblins in the mountains now?"

"Yes, but there are not many. Now those little goblins want to run away from the mountains when they grow up." Manzhu said, shaking his head and laughing at himself, "I always didn't understand it before, but I only found out when I met you. A human city is really much more interesting than a mountain.”

Lu Yudong thought for a while, then tilted his head and said, "You told me a lot of stories, all of which are very interesting. You can live in that place for so long, you must have a lot of affection for it, right?"

Manzhu said: "It's okay, there is nothing special to miss."

"Is there a chance you can take me to see it?"

"If you're not afraid."

"You will protect me." Lu Yudong said, raising his index finger, a small water ball easily formed on his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Maybe I will be able to protect myself by then."

When Manzhu saw it, she couldn't help but smiled knowingly: "Then wait until you grow up, um... after you graduate from university, I'll take you back to have a look."

"En!" Lu Yudong nodded heavily.

***

Holidays are always short, and the school season is approaching in a blink of an eye.

For Lu Yudong, the campus of Wenhai High School is far away from home. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the subway station, take the subway for half an hour, and walk for another 10 minutes to get there.

If you take the bus, you need to transfer halfway, and if there is no traffic jam, it will take about an hour.

In order to save the two-hour commute every day, Lu Yudong also became a boarding student, going home once a week, leaving school after school on Saturday afternoon, and returning to school before self-study on Sunday night.

On the day Manzhu accompanied Lu Yudong to school to register, she specially put on the skirt that Lu Yudong gave her.

One is because Lu Yudong will be very happy every time he wears that dress, and the other is that he hopes that Lu Yudong will not receive too much attention from his classmates because of his "outlandish clothes".

After all, three years ago, she went to attend the parents' meeting in Lu Yudong's class for the first time, and she caused Lu Yudong a lot of trouble.

The kind of dress she was used to was okay in an ancient bar, but it was too eye-catching on campus.

When queuing up to sign up, Lu Yudong was in a good mood, because Zhang Ziyun, who had the best relationship with her in the three years of junior high school, was now assigned to the same class as her. In a bedroom.

When Zhang's mother saw Manzhu, she also came up to say hello.

In the past three years, the two met at every parent meeting, but this was the first time that Zhang's mother saw Manzhu dressed so normally, she couldn't help but was briefly surprised, and then the two began to greet each other.

Seeing the two parents chatting and queuing up, Lu Yudong pulled Zhang Ziyun aside and asked in a low voice, "We are in the same class, did you ask Zhang Hao for help?"

"Yeah, I just mentioned it casually, he really did it." Zhang Ziyun was beaming with joy, "It's comfortable now, and you live on campus. Not only can we be in the same class, but we can also be in the same dormitory."

"Then Zhang Hao is also in the same class as us?" Lu Yudong asked again.

"It's true, it doesn't matter, what does he do? It's fine if we don't stay together." Zhang Ziyun said.

Lu Yudong nodded and said nothing more.

In the third year of junior high school, Zhang Hao came to express his love to Zhang Ziyun whenever he had something to do. Although he never confessed his love, no one in the class could tell that he just wanted to chase after Zhang Ziyun.

Zhang Ziyun didn't like him, Lu Yudong could tell, and that's why she felt it was not good to ask Zhang Hao for help in such matters.

"Hey, your sister is wearing the dress you bought in the summer, right?" Zhang Ziyun gently bumped Lu Yudong's arm with his elbow.

Lu Yudong came back to his senses, and nodded again in a daze.

"It's even better than the seller's show." Zhang Ziyun said, Wink reached out and nodded.

Lu Yudong laughed after listening: "Why are you so good at boasting?"

Zhang Ziyun took out his mobile phone and said in a low voice, "I'll secretly take a photo of your big beauty, and I won't let it out, okay?"

"I can't stop you either." Lu Yudong said.

After Zhang Ziyun took the photo, he sighed, and turned around and asked, "When can you send me some photos of those two handsome guys in the bar?"

"What are you doing? I don't have any."

"Look at the handsome guys and beautiful women." Zhang Ziyun said, suddenly raised his head, frowned and looked Lu Yudong up and down.

Lu Yudong was a little overwhelmed by her look: "You, why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhang Ziyun exaggeratedly said "Wow", then reached out and patted Lu Yudong's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a summer vacation, why do you feel that you have become more beautiful?"

"Wow..." Lu Yudong unconsciously lowered his head.

Zhang Ziyun smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm sorry, the women's university has changed, if you don't believe me, ask your sister?"

Man Zhu who was not far away seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, looked this way for a second, and bumped into Lu Yudong who was looking up at her secretly.

After looking at each other for a moment, Manzhu smiled at her and nodded, his eyebrows were so gentle.

Lu Yudong couldn't help biting his lower lip, trying to suppress the joy in his heart.

Since she was a child, no one has praised her for being beautiful. This is the first time that she has been recognized by Manzhu.

For a moment, something seemed to slowly take root and sprout in the heart of that child who had never been confident.

After registering, Zhang Ziyun dragged Lu Yudong downstairs to pay the accommodation fee. After getting the key, with the help of Manzhu and Zhang's mother, he took the sheets, pillows, bedding, etc., and climbed up to the fifth floor in one breath. They took the "523" dormitory assigned by the life teacher for them.

There are already two girls in the dormitory, and the girls' parents are also packing things for them.

The dormitory in the senior high school is not much different from that in the junior high school. There are also three upper and lower bunk beds for up to six people, and two of the lower bunk beds have already been occupied by the girls who came first.

Zhang Ziyun wanted to sleep in the lower berth, so Lu Yudong chose Zhang Ziyun's upper berth.

After the bed was confirmed, the four girls present gave brief self-introductions under the urging of their parents.

After making the bed, Lu Yudong put some daily necessities in his schoolbag and two sets of clothes for a change of clothes into the small cabinet he chose, then got up and walked to Manzhu, and gently grabbed her wrist .

"Everything is packed, I'm leaving?" Manzhu said.

"Yeah." Lu Yudong nodded.

"Tell me what's missing, and I'll bring it to you." Manzhu said again.

"En!" Lu Yudong continued to nod.

Manzhu thought for a while, and seemed to have nothing to say, so she patted her head: "Then I'm leaving, and I'll pick you up after the military training."

Only then did Lu Yudong reluctantly let go of his hand.

Several parents left one after another, and there were only four girls left in the dormitory who were going to get along with them in the future.

Wu Anan, who was wearing glasses on the lower bed, couldn't help asking: "Classmate, was that your mother just now? She looks too young."

"Me?" Lu Yudong pointed at himself blankly.

"Yes." Wu Anan nodded.

"No, no, it's not my mother." Lu Yudong quickly explained, "That's my sister."

"Your sister is so beautiful, she looks like a big star." The short-haired girl who spoke in the lower bunk next door was called Zhao Wen, and she introduced herself just now.

Soon, Zhao Wen and Wu Anan chatted with each other one by one. It turned out that everyone was admitted from Wenhai Junior High School, but the classes were different.

They used to be alumni, which gave the girls a lot of common topics, and Zhang Ziyun quickly joined in.

Lu Yudong silently climbed onto his own bed, sat on the spread quilt in a daze, and echoed the chatting of the other three people one sentence after another, and the afternoon passed like this.

After the four of them had dinner in the cafeteria, a fifth girl named Wang Yan moved into the dormitory.

The day before the military training is also the first day of living in school.

New dormitory, new roommates, everyone was very excited, until the lights in the whole dormitory building were turned off, they were still chatting in low voices, until the dormitory supervisor came and knocked on the door twice, and then completely quieted down.

Lu Yudong lay flat on the bed that only belonged to her, subconsciously leaned against the wall, closed her eyes for a long time, and then slowly fell asleep.

02:30am.

When Manzhu returned home, she was in a daze for a few seconds looking at the empty bed by the window.

The little girl has started to live in school, she is really... not used to it.

***

On the second day after the first-year high school freshmen entered the school, the school began military training.

During military training, students are not allowed to carry mobile phones with them, and everyone's mobile phones can only be kept in the dormitory.

During the days of military training, when Lu Yudong returned to the dormitory every day, the first thing he did was to send a text message to Manzhu, and Manzhu basically replied within seconds.

Lu Yudong: In the morning, a few temporary class leaders were selected in the class. The head teacher said that the instructor will come to the school this afternoon. This is my first military training. Zhang Ziyun said that the military training is very tiring, and the sun is so bright outside that it is easy to bask in people.

Manzhu: Then are you going to be sunburnt into little briquettes?

Lu Yudong: QAQ

Lu Yudong: Elder sister, I learned how to fold my armies and got caught, I will show you when I go home!

Manzhu: What does the military quilt look like?

Lu Yudong: Tofu cubes, square tofu cubes!

Lu Yudong: The instructor of Class [-] is so handsome!The instructor in our class is so fierce QAQ

Manzhu: When I grow up, I will praise people for being handsome.

Lu Yudong: In fact, he is not very handsome, but my classmates say he is handsome, so I followed suit and praised him!

Lu Yudong: A girl fainted in class today!

Manzhu: Are you okay?

Lu Yudong: I'm fine, I don't feel very tired, I have spiritual power to protect my body, and I don't feel too hot.

Manzhu: That's good.

Lu Yudong: Zhang Ziyun actually lied to the instructor that she was here as an aunt, and she sat and rested for a long time!

Manzhu: Why don't you learn from her?

Lu Yudong: This is not good_(:з”∠)_

Manzhu: Isn't it good?You can rest.

Lu Yudong: Not very good.

Lu Yudong: It's raining today, we stand in a military posture in the rain.

Manzhu: Don't catch a cold.

Lu Yudong: It's okay, the homeroom teacher asked the monitor to distribute Radix Banlangen to each of our dormitories, and I've already rushed over to drink it.

Manzhu: Mmmmm.

Lu Yudong: Tonight, we were sitting on the playground playing songs, it was really hot.

Manzhu: What songs are they?

Lu Yudong: The cold wind blows the leaves, the army is a green flower

Manzhu: Huh?

Lu Yudong: Dear comrade, don't miss home, don't miss your mother

Manzhu: Is this the lyrics?

Lu Yudong: There are other things, I'll sing it to you when I get back!

Manzhu: Good.

In so many days, Lu Yudong never yelled once, but in the only one call, he said that he was not used to sleeping at school.

The day after Lu Yudong finished speaking, Manzhu sent over the little white dog with the crooked neck that usually slept with her.

It's just that Manzhu couldn't enter the school gate, so he had to put the puppy in the guard room. After Lu Yudong finished his lunch, he went back to the dormitory and checked the text messages on his mobile phone, only to know that Manzhu had been here during the day.

She hurried down the dormitory building, rushed to the guard and brought the little white dog back to the dormitory.

As soon as Wang Yan saw the puppy, she couldn't help joking, "Lu Yudong, how old are you, why do you still want to hold a baby when you sleep?"

Lu Yudong smiled without saying a word, just put it beside the pillow, seeing the silly look of it tilting its head, couldn't help raising the corners of its mouth.

The dreams that night seemed extraordinarily sweet.
