a man who appears once a year

Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan dawdled along the way, in a state of full state, two gods in the sky, and finally walked back on foot.

Seeing that Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan finally came back, Ruan Shengfeng rushed up to greet him: "You two are finally back! Qiuping, if I didn't know that Jishen was looking for you, I would suspect that you fell into the pit halfway!"

After all, falling into a pit halfway is normal for Moldy God.

Yu Huan greeted Ruan Shengfeng: "Hello, Uncle."

"Okay." Ruan Shengfeng nodded with a smile.

Yu Huan said: "Then I won't bother you anymore, and I will visit with my parents later."

Ruan Shengfeng continued to smile and nodded: "That's fine."

After Yu Huan left, Ruan Shengfeng turned to look at Ruan Qiuping: "But why are you so slow? What peerless table did you choose?"

Ruan Qiuping took out the table from the Qiankun bag: "I chose a relatively ordinary solid wood table."

Ruan Shengfeng looked at the ordinary table in front of him, with a disappointed expression on his face: "...that's it, it's not fancy at all, why don't you buy a golden one, and it would be even better if it can be inlaid with a dragon."

Xia Fushui came out of the room Shi Shiran, and gave a flat evaluation: "The table is well chosen."

Hearing Xia Fushui's affirmation, Ruan Qiuping immediately became happy, and his eyes became crooked.

Ruan Qiuping took out other things from the Qiankun bag one after another.

Yipin Meimeng chair, exquisite small swing, summer cooling fan, infinite rice basket...

Everything is available.

As soon as Ruan Shengfeng saw the dream chair, he immediately sat on it with a wow, his face was full of joy.

Ruan Dongdong also ran over to touch the swing, and said happily, "Brother...brother! This swing is so beautiful!"

"It's a swing, are you happy?"

"Happy!" Ruan Dongdong nodded vigorously.

Ruan Qiuping smiled, and used spells to replace the old swing with the new one.

Ruan Dongdong immediately ran up and started playing excitedly.

Xia Fushui frowned almost inaudibly: "Qiu Ping, it seems that the money I gave you is not enough for you to buy these things."

Ruan Qiuping: "These are all drawn by me."

"Lucky draw?!" Ruan Shengfeng shouted in disbelief.

Ruan Qiuping was about to explain the good luck talisman to them when he suddenly felt the sky darken. At the same time, Ruan Shengfeng shouted in a panic: "—— Qiuping! Be careful!!!"

Ruan Qiuping looked up, and saw a roc that was almost as big as his building passing by covering the sky, and the fruit held in its claws slammed down.

Ruan Qiuping subconsciously crouched down holding his head tightly.

There was the sound of the fruit falling to the ground, but there was no familiar pain in his head.

Ruan Qiuping stood up in disbelief, and looked around.

The roc who seemed to have a grudge against him, who would grab him every time he saw him, or throw fruit at him, had already flown away.Ruan Shengfeng was halfway through casting the spell, but he was hit hard on the head by the fruit.Ruan Dongdong, who was playing on the new swing, was tightly protected by Xia Fushui's hard water polo, still ignorant, swinging on the swing innocently.

Ruan Qiuping looked down, only to find that the fruits were scattered all over the ground, but there was an empty circle around Ruan Qiuping, and none of them fell on Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping patted his head before realizing belatedly that it was the Supreme Good Luck Charm that secretly helped him.

Ruan Shengfeng rubbed his painful head, and looked at Ruan Qiuping almost in shock: "Son, why didn't you get smashed?"

It can't be blamed that Ruan Shengfeng's words are a little bit out of his father's love, but it's not the first time this roc has come, and every time he comes, Ruan Qiuping is more or less injured.

Today the fruit fell all over the ground, but Ruan Qiuping didn't get smashed at all, and it seemed a little abnormal.

"Qiuping and Jishen were together just now, so it must have been passed on to them as good luck." Xia Fushui said slowly.

Ruan Qiuping shook his head.

"After the auspicious god became a god, he has sealed the luck of the whole body, and now his luck is no different from that of a normal person, but," Ruan Qiuping took out the supreme good luck charm from his arms, "but he gave I wrote the Supreme Good Luck Charm."

"The Supreme Lucky Charm?!" Ruan Shengfeng shouted in shock.

Xia Fushui's expression also seemed a little surprised.

"Ah."

Ruan Qiuping took a deep breath, clenched the talisman in his hand, looked up into Xia Fushui's eyes, and said:

"With this talisman, in the future... I won't infect others with bad luck."

"--Great!"

Ruan Shengfeng shouted excitedly, his nose and tears almost flowed down together.

He turned his head and wiped his face in embarrassment, but the sound of blowing his nose was deafening.

The corners of Xia Fushui's lips also curled up slightly, and an almost imperceptible smile crossed her face. She looked at Ruan Qiuping with a touch of tenderness in her eyes: "Qiuping, you and Jishen have been together for a few days now. Do you know what kind of food he likes to eat?"

This is the meaning of thanking God Ji for Ruan Qiuping.

Ruan Qiuping looked at the gentle smile on the corner of Xia Fushui's lips, and felt that his whole heart seemed to be gently held up by a hot and soft hand, which made the tip of his nose a little sour.

At this moment, Ruan Dongdong suddenly ran over with short legs, raised his head, and said to Ruan Qiuping with bright eyes: "Brother! Yesterday when I was in the kindergarten, I heard the teacher say that you Don't touch me because if you touch me, it will make me unlucky... But you just said that you will not infect people with bad luck now, so you can hug me!"

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her arms, closed her eyes, like a small, stretched sunflower, and said softly, "Brother! Hug me!"

Ruan Qiuping's heart suddenly jumped with excitement.

Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and his palms were wet. He took a small step forward carefully, and said in a dry and hoarse voice, "I..."

"Boom!" Xia Fushui frowned and interrupted Ruan Qiuping, "Have you finished the homework assigned by the nursery school today? You won't do homework when you start school, right?"

Ruan Qiuping's heart and body temperature, which had been beating rapidly the last moment, fell back in an instant.

The cold wind of late autumn blew past, cooling all the sweat that had just emerged from his body, making him wet and cold.

Ruan Dongdong was afraid of Xia Fushui, and when he heard this, he immediately ran back to the house to do his homework with some guilt.

Ruan Shengfeng rubbed his nose, and whispered to Xia Fushui: "...Dongdong wants to be hugged by my brother, so why don't you ask Qiuping to hug her? Isn't there a talisman from the God of Good Fortune on Qiuping? Even if you hug her, it should be fine. .”

"Dongdong is only over three years old." Xia Fushui glanced at Ruan Shengfeng, her tone was cold, "Can you take her at risk?"

……adventure.

To touch him is to take a risk.

Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and took a few steps back.

He was silent for a while, and when he looked up at Ruan Shengfeng again, his expression became very obedient and docile: "Dad, Mom is right, although I have a talisman in my hand, it's better to be careful in everything. It can't take a little damage."

He paused, turned his head to look at Xia Fushui, and answered the question just now: "Yu Huan likes to eat fish, but the taste is relatively light, and he doesn't eat coriander."

"There seems to be no fish at home..." Ruan Shengfeng frowned.

Ruan Qiuping said, "I'm going to the back mountain to catch one now, and I'll be back soon."

Ruan Qiuping quickly caught the fish and came back, and then helped out in the kitchen with Ruan Shengfeng.

After Xia Fushui coaxed Ruan Dongdong into taking a nap, she also came to the kitchen to cook.

The three of them were busy in the kitchen for a long time, but they seemed a little quiet, because no one said anything unnecessary.

In the end, it was Ruan Shengfeng who broke the silence: "There are no green onions, I'll go to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick some green onions."

Ruan Qiuping was about to say: Isn't the onion in the basket next to it?

But before he could say anything, Ruan Shengfeng walked out.

Only Xia Fushui and Ruan Qiuping were left in the room.

Immediately became more quiet.

When Ruan Shengfeng entered the door, his face was full of joy, he didn't hold any green onions, but he was holding a bouquet of flowers.

His flowers were packaged very delicately, in all kinds and colors, and he managed to gather 99 different flowers.

And because Xia Fushui's real body is a lotus, the flowers that Ruan Shengfeng sent were all rooted and soiled, and they were well protected with magic. After Xia Fushui took them, they could replant them in the backyard.

Now in their backyard, apart from a vegetable garden, there is a whole sea of ​​flowers.

Every year for Xia Fushui's birthday, Ruan Shengfeng would send her flowers like this.

And Xia Fushui likes it every year.

Even now.

"Wife! Happy birthday!" Ruan Shengfeng said with a happy smile.

Xia Fushui took the flowers, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still couldn't help but coquettishly said: "I really don't understand the style, today I want to have dinner with someone else, why don't you give it at the dinner table?"

Ruan Shengfeng said with a smile: "I send flowers to my wife every year. If I send them in front of others today, it will be like a show."

Xia Fushui lowered her eyes, smelled the fragrance of the flowers, her brows and eyes softened: "Then I'll go and put the flowers in the backyard first."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The gift that Ruan Qiuping prepared for Xia Fushui was placed in his small building. Seeing this, he greeted Ruan Shengfeng and went to get the gift.

For Xia Fushui's birthday, Ruan Qiuping gave a spiritual power pill every year, and this year was no exception.

But Ruan Qiuping made two pills this year.

One is Liansheng Dan, and the other is Fugu Dan.

Xia Fushui didn't like the lotus pill, but Yu Huan personally picked the thousand-year-old lotus for Ruan Qiuping, and Ruan Qiuping didn't want to waste it, so he finally made the lotus pill.

And Fugu Dan was his birthday present to Xia Fushui.Fugu Dan is made from 290 nine kinds of mushrooms. Ruan Qiuping spent a lot of time looking for these mushrooms, and he hasn't slept much these days.

Hope mom will like it.

When Ruan Qiuping walked to the kitchen with the mushroom pill, he didn't see Xia Fushui.

"Is mom still planting flowers and hasn't come back?" Ruan Qiuping asked.

"No." Ruan Shengfeng said, "Your mother is looking for plates in the warehouse. The plates for entertaining guests have not been used in our family for more than 200 years. It may be difficult to find them. You can help her find them."

When Ruan Qiuping came to the warehouse, he faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't see what was wrong.

Ruan Qiuping bypassed the mountains of dowries in the warehouse and found Xia Fushui in a corner.

"Mom, did you find the plate?"

"found it."

Xia Fushui came out with a stack of beautiful plates, and touched and touched it a little fondly: "This plate has not seen the light of day for more than 200 years, but fortunately it was a fairy dowry I made with lotus pods when I got married. Well preserved."

The plate sat in storage for over 200 years.

Because since Ruan Qiuping was born, their family has never had any guests.

Ruan Qiuping took out the complex mushroom pill from his arms and handed it to Xia Fushui: "Mom, happy birthday."

Xia Fushui wanted to reach out to pick it up, but when her hand was about to touch the box, Ruan Qiuping suddenly took a few steps back and handed the pill to Xia Fushui with magic.

Xia Fushui froze for a moment, and caught the pill from the air.

She put the plate in her hand on the wooden box beside her, and gently opened the pill box.

The moment she saw the pill, she frowned.

She also knows Fugudan. Nearly 300 kinds of mushrooms are very troublesome to find. Among them, there is a kind of ember mushroom that only grows in the "embers" where the vegetation has died after being burned by fire.

It has been raining for a while, and the rain stopped last night. Where did Ruan Qiuping go to find the place where the grass had died after the fire?

Suddenly thought of something, she frowned, looked at Ruan Qiuping's loose long sleeves that had been worn for two days, and said, "Roll up your sleeves."

Ruan Qiuping didn't move.

Xia Fushui waved her sleeves, and directly used magic to push up Ruan Qiuping's long sleeves.

Xia Fushui choked for breath.

——Ruan Qiuping had several deep new wounds on his left arm. The wounds were very smooth, and it looked like he had cut them with a dagger.

Xia Fushui: "Did you use your own blood...to make the embers where mushrooms grow?"

Ruan Qiuping's blood is very unlucky, people will be injured if touched, things will rot if touched, flowers, plants and trees will die as if they have been burned by fire.

Embershrooms may then grow from where his blood has been spilled.

Ruan Qiuping put down his sleeves again, and smiled at Xia Fushui: "Mom, hasn't your cultivation level stagnated in the past two years? I think Fugu Pill might be useful."

Xia Fushui's lips trembled, but she didn't speak.

Ruan Qiuping reached out to hug the plate on the wooden box: "Let's go, Dad is still waiting for the plate."

When Ruan Qiuping picked up the plate, he suddenly found that the box containing the dowry gift seemed to have changed.

The red ribbon on the box was originally printed with the character "Yu", but now it has become "Ruan".

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Fushui: "This betrothal gift box..."

"I have exchanged all the betrothal gifts. Our family is poor and not as rich as the Yu family, so we can't afford too much dowry. I replaced all the betrothal gifts given by the Yu family with your father a few days ago, and added a little more. Don’t worry, your father and I have been careful with our purchases, except for the unidentifiable gold and silver, all other jewelry and treasures have been exchanged with Lin and Donghai, so that the Yu family will not look down on you.” Xia Fushui said.

Ruan Qiuping didn't speak.

Xia Fushui glanced down at the pill box in her hand, and after a long silence, she slowly said, "Qiu Ping, when I was pregnant with you, I almost had a miscarriage five times, but our family was still rich at that time. It was only by hanging with various pills that I saved you, and after you were born, we found out your identity, and I knew at that moment that our mother and son are always close."

Xia Fushui held the pill box tightly and put it where her heart was.

She reached out her other hand and paused lightly in the air.

Then put it on Ruan Qiuping's head.

She was a little unnatural, and stroked twice with stiff hands.

On the third stroke, her technique became natural, like an ordinary, gentle mother.

She touched Ruan Qiuping's head like this, and said, "I have never been a good mother, you can blame me whatever you want."

A warm, soft, and somewhat unfamiliar touch came from the top of his head.

This was the first time in Ruan Qiuping's memory that someone other than Yu Huan touched him.

This person is his mother.

When his mother gently touched his head, he felt like a gentle, huge flower petal wrapped him gently.

Ruan Qiuping had a sore nose, and tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

He never resented Xia Fushui.

But in the end, there were still some unwillingness and grievances.

But he is such an easy-to-satisfy person.

The unwillingness and grievance that appeared in the past, the loneliness and pain curled up in the quilt, the silent sobbing in childhood, all disappeared in this gentle touch.

He has suffered too many injuries, and it becomes difficult to get injured again.

Even injured.

It is also easy to govern.

Just a light, gentle touch is all it takes.
