Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

My brain was burning in confusion at the moment, so I asked casually: "How big is it?"

"A lot." He looked up at me and said seriously.

Recently I've gotten used to him asking these inexplicable questions.After thinking about it for a while, I replied, "Look at how you feel! If you feel right, so what if you are old?"

He didn't answer, just breathed a sigh of relief, a reaction that baffled me.It suddenly occurred to me that people have been saying that I am ugly recently, maybe even he thinks so, so he wants to introduce me to an old man for a blind date or something?

Although this idea is rather weird, I couldn't think of any other possibility. I felt as if I had been hit by [-] points in my heart, and I lay powerlessly on the table and asked aggrievedly: "Do you think I look like this?" , is it worthy to find someone who is much older than me?"

He stared at me blankly, and asked back with a blank face: "Why do you think so?"

"Before that Xiao Zhou always said that I was average, and this morning the two girls said that I was ugly. It's fine for others to say that, but now you think so too, right?" Usually more sensitive and fragile, talking and talking like a child, began to make trouble for no reason.

"What do you look like, what does it have to do with others?" He handed over the cold soup and tried to comfort me.

"But you are not someone else." I blurted out this sentence without thinking.Then I felt that my words were too blunt, so I explained again: "As a friend, are you not afraid that I will be sad when you say this? Although I am not as good-looking as your sweetheart, I am also a girl with flesh and blood. is recognized."

When I said this, I was so choked up that I couldn't continue talking.In order not to burst into tears in front of him, he picked up the bowl of cabbage soup and drank it all in one gulp.After putting down the bowl, he didn't dare to look at him again, and went straight to the door.

When I was halfway there, I heard him calling me softly from behind: "Zi Lin, there has always been only you."

These words made me stop, and I couldn't help but look back at him, and found that he was looking at me with a very complicated look, both sad and helpless, both determined and tempting.

I asked suspiciously, "I don't understand, what do you mean by that?"

He murmured his lips, then lowered his head, after all, he didn't explain clearly to me.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, I quickly walked back to the room. When the door was closed, tears could no longer be held back.Then he leaned weakly against the door and murmured, "That's it!"

For the next two days, I spent the rest of my life in a slumber.I don't know if it's because the heart is so sad that even the immunity has given up resistance, so that the virus is raging in the body.Of course it's also possible that the cabbage water doesn't work at all.After the heavy rain drenched my enthusiasm, it seemed that it was not enough, and it fell for another two days.It didn't stop until the evening of the third day.

After the fever subsided, I finally couldn't stay in the room anymore. I ran out and opened the glass door of the garden to get some air. I was blinded by the golden afterglow of the sunset.I thought: "It should be sunny now!"

The air outside is dense, the grass is very wet, and the breeze brings a scent of flowers, which instantly refreshes me.I looked around the courtyard, usually because no one took care of it and weeds were overgrown, I really couldn't bear to look closely.Only a small two-color jasmine plant in the corner of the wall adds some vitality to the place.

After I approached, I squatted down, touched the water drops on the petals, and muttered silently: "Thank you for being drenched in the rain for two days, you are really brave." There is one more person.He helped me grab a scarf and put it lightly on my shoulders.He didn't speak, just stood there for a while.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful yard is abandoned." I stood up, looked around, and said with emotion.

"Since you like this flower so much, why don't you plant it all over the yard?"

Brother Qiling's suggestion is obviously a gesture of favor, but I don't intend to appreciate it.Shaking his head, he said: "No way! When the time comes, one will prosper and one will wither. Let me think about planting a few kinds of flowers that can be seen all year round, and these flowers should not only look good, smell good, but also be edible. What do you think?" okay?"

I looked up at him, and found that he didn't seem to have a good rest in order to take care of me these two days, and his brows were full of tiredness.But hearing my question, he lowered his head and smiled at me, motioning for me to continue talking.

Then, I said: "Two-color jasmine, when the buds are purple, it turns deep purple when it blooms, and it turns white when it withers. From a distance, it looks like a few butterflies dancing among the leaves. It is magical and beautiful. But it The stems and bark of the flower are poisonous, and this flower is not suitable for large-scale planting at home. It is very dangerous if children in the family eat it by mistake."

Having said that, I realized that I had gone too far.It's just that he didn't expect him to nod his head and admire: "You are very considerate."

I curled my lips, quickly ignored the pain in my heart, and continued: "Plant roses in spring, jasmine in summer, osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter. These kinds of flowers are beautiful and can be eaten with tea and steamed cakes. Yes. When the roses are all over the courtyard wall, your courtyard will be the most beautiful courtyard in this community, and you..."

I originally wanted to say: "And you are the most beautiful boy in this community." Later, I thought it was inappropriate, so I swallowed this sentence back.

"And what about me?" He looked down at me, as if he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

I took two steps back, and then said something: "And you can enjoy flowers all year round!" After I finished these words, I realized that I seemed to have overstepped. Arranging the layout of the courtyard should be the right of the future hostess , I'm just staying here temporarily, and what standpoint do I have to dictate here.

I had to add another sentence: "Of course, that's just my suggestion! You can figure it out yourself!" After speaking, he quickly walked to the chair under the eaves and sat down.There is glass on it to build a canopy curtain, which is very convenient for basking in the sun or sheltering from the rain.

He was drinking tea in the corner just now, and I didn't notice it when I came out.Presumably he saw me squatting in front of that flower for a long time, so he thought I really like that kind of flower!At this time, the water in the tea stove was whirring again, and I brewed a cup for myself.

At this time, brother Ling came back and sat down opposite me.I refilled him with a new cup of tea.The tea is Biluochun.I don't have any research on tea, but I just think it's very interesting to see the white and green tea rolling in the pot, and I'm fascinated by it for a while.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Brother Qiling felt a little deserted, so he asked, "What should I do to have a yard like the one you just mentioned?"

What he said brought me back to my senses. I just said it casually, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously.So he gave him a smirk and said, "We must start with weeding."

"And then?" He asked seriously.

"Buy flower seedlings and plant them, fertilize and loosen the soil, and then sprinkle water regularly!" I thought about how I, a flower destroyer who can't even keep a cactus alive, taught others how to do it well, so it was a bit funny.

"Oh, is that all right?" Brother Qi Ling asked again.

I saw that he seemed to be fascinated by such a yard, so in order not to hurt his confidence, I had to pretend to nod with certainty.

He looked at me and asked again: "Then I'll be in charge of the planting, and when the flowers bloom, can you steam the cakes for me to eat?"

I saw the look of hope flashing in his eyes, which actually carried some childlike childishness and uneasiness.Suddenly I feel that he is not so elusive, sometimes!It can be considered a very simple person.

"Okay! What's the problem then." I always knew that he didn't have any requirements for food, and it was rare for him to ask for something he wanted to eat, so he agreed very readily.

"That's settled." He looked at the yard and said silently.

"Hmm." I replied perfunctorily, then got up and left to prepare dinner.After drinking cabbage water for two days, my stomach was always rumbling and I was starving to death.

What's even more amazing is that Zhang Qiling also drank with me for two days.Blame me for not having time to teach him how to cook a few more dishes.Now it seems that he is not as interested in cooking as in planting flowers, so I can't force it.

In the early morning of the next day, he really started to work in the yard, while I made a pot of tea with a book, and sat beside me leisurely to watch the excitement.It's not that I'm always lazy and don't help, but I think this is his own home, and it's more meaningful for him to transform it.Another reason is that even if I wanted to do it, he wouldn't do it, so he had to be happy and carefree.

I would read books for a while, look at him for a while, and occasionally hand him a cup of tea. I didn't feel the time flies, and I just felt that it would be great if such days could stay forever!The humble hope is nothing but a vain fantasy, it doesn't matter if you don't want to.

Thinking of this, the doorbell ding dong ding dong interrupted my thoughts.I had to put down the book and ran to open the door.When the door was halfway open, the fat man's big face plate suddenly came in.I was so scared that I quickly blocked the door again.

Unexpectedly, he moved so quickly that he stretched out his foot to push against the door, and I also pushed against the door from inside, trying to prevent him from coming in.He scolded: "Zhang Zilin, why are you so crazy? Your two elder brothers came to see you from Changsha, Beijing. This is how you treat guests? You are really rude to open the door for me."

"I won't open, fat brother, are you here to settle accounts with me?" I asked him guiltyly behind the door.

"Hey, you're pretty self-aware. Let me tell you, our debts are endless. If we don't open the door, I'll have to pay interest again."

At this time, Wu Xie's voice also came in, and he said, "Zi Lin, open the door first and then talk!"

I had to open the door and let the two of them in.The fat guy glared at me and poked my forehead with one finger.I had no choice but to laugh and say, "The two elder brothers are here, what can you do?"

The author has something to say:

The reason why Menshen refused to tell Zhang Keai about his past will be revealed in the future.Menshen also took great pains to coax his daughter-in-law, and even planted flowers, don't scold me.
