Chapter 310 The Reincarnation of Leaves
Chapter 310 The Reincarnation of Leaves
A few birds flew to the branches, and the occasional clear bird calls could not hide the faint sadness brought by this season, just like her mood at the moment.
A few fallen leaves were blown into the kitchen by the wind, and finally slowly fell to the ground. Si He reached out and picked up a leaf at her feet.
The yellowed leaves bear the traces of time.
Every fallen leaf delicately records the change of seasons. They awaken from the tender green of spring, grow in the sunshine of summer, turn golden in autumn, and finally separate from the tree and become silent.
Many fallen leaves eventually fall onto the soil, turning into spring mud and nourishing new roots and buds. The falling of leaves is not only a change of seasons, but also the cycle of life.
Now, as a living dead, her life had become long, like a small tree in the yard, slowly growing stronger. If she couldn't find the Dragon Spirit Flower, Ning Ji would be like this leaf, dying and fading in the passage of time.
Si He held the leaf in her hand and rubbed it gently with her fingertips. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ning Ji again. When she saw his smiling eyes, her heart was touched.
Now that her sleeping time was getting longer and longer, the rest of her life was precious, and she shouldn't have a sad face when she was with him.
The corners of her lips were raised, and her eyes were filled with smiles, burying all the negative emotions and discomfort deep in her heart.
Ning Ji walked towards her, squatted down, raised his hand and gently pinched her face, but the next moment, a black mark was left on her fair face.
When he saw the mark, he realized that he had not washed his hands.
Si He lowered her eyes to look at his hand, her eyes suddenly widened, then she raised her hand to touch her face, and her fingertips were indeed a little black, "Husband, did you do this on purpose?"
Ning Ji felt a little guilty at first, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but chuckle.
However, seeing the anger on her face, he quickly said, "I was wrong."
He sincerely admitted his mistake to her, but there was still a smile in his eyes.
"Hmph!" She glared at him, then rolled her eyes and grabbed his hand and wiped it on his face.
Seeing that his face was also stained with some gray and black, she finally smiled, "Humph~ This time it's fair, you're the same as me!"
He smiled and said, "Well, I have a cat face now too."
After some teasing and laughter, all her sad emotions seemed to disappear.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from outside. The sound was very small and was covered by the wind, making it almost imperceptible. But after she woke up from her sleep, her hearing was a little better than before, so she quickly noticed it.
After a while, Momo crawled out from the yard. Its head had grown a lot bigger than before, and its body was as thick as her wrist. It was estimated to be about 1.56 meters long.
This snake is really big!
Si He smiled, "Mo Mo."
The next moment, Mo Mo suddenly increased his speed, and in a flash, he rushed to her feet. He raised his little head, stuck to her calves, and hissed at her.
"Ah~ Momo has grown a lot and gained a lot of weight. It seems the food is good."
She reached out and hugged it. It was so heavy that it couldn't be wrapped around her hand like before.
"He sneaked out to play again!"
Ning Ji glanced at it, and it shrank its head towards Si He. Although it had grown taller, it was still a little scared by Ning Ji's cold scolding.
"Hiss~" It turned its head towards Si He, not looking at Ning Ji.
Si He reached out and touched its head, which was icy cold. It was too big. This was a small town, not a forest. If it kept running out, it would attract too much attention. It might get hurt or caught one day.
However, it was also because of her that it was confined to this small town courtyard. It should have lived in the vast mountains and forests.
She didn't say much, just smiled and stroked its body gently.
Momo put his head on her legs, acting like a harmless pet, completely devoid of the wildness he had outside.
Si He played with Mo Mo while Ning Ji continued to work.
After a while, the water was boiled, and Si He put Mo Mo down and went to wash up first.
Momo was driven into the yard by Ning Ji, and it lazily coiled around a tree branch. However, due to its heavy body, the branch was bent a little by it, as if it was about to break, and could not bear its weight.
Its tail hung in the air, swaying back and forth, and it looked particularly relaxed.
The autumn wind blew away the curling smoke rising from the kitchen roof, but the house was filled with the faint aroma of food and the sound of chopping vegetables.
"Husband~"
"what happened?"
"Bring me another bucket of hot water."
"it is good."
……
The courtyard is more lively today, not as deserted as before.
In the evening, Si He sat on a chair in the courtyard. After washing up, she felt refreshed, especially with the cool breeze blowing at this moment, which was particularly comfortable.
At this time, the food was ready, but Ning Ji dried her hair first and then combed it straight.
Her hair was as good as ever, very smooth, and when she combed it through, it felt like fine satin.
During these three years, although he had often wiped her body to keep it clean and dust-free, he had been unable to wash her hair, so he could only cover it as much as possible. However, when she was asleep, her body functions had ceased to function, and her hair was not dirty, retaining its original appearance.
"Husband, your comb is so comfortable~"
She squinted her eyes and sighed, a look of satisfaction on her face.
She liked Ning Ji combing her hair the most, especially when combing her scalp. The strength was just right and very gentle, like massaging her scalp. It was very comfortable and she enjoyed it very much.
Ning Ji smiled, but his hands kept moving.
He stopped combing her hair after a while. By this time, her hair was almost dry, especially with the wind blowing from time to time in the yard, so it dried very quickly.
Ning Ji then went to the kitchen and brought out the food.
It was her favorite meat porridge, and two side dishes. Although simple, they were very appetizing and delicious.
Si He ate the porridge in small bites. The meat porridge was very thick and delicious, and it smelled fragrant just by smelling it.
"Eat some vegetables." Ning Ji picked up some vegetables and put them on the plate next to her bowl.
"Well, husband, you should eat quickly too." Si He raised her head and urged him. Looking at his facial features, she felt that he was still a little thin. He had not gained much weight in the past three years.
"Husband, in the past few years...have you not been eating well again?"
As she said this, a feeling of discomfort welled up in her heart again.
Ning Ji subconsciously tightened his grip on the chopsticks, but a gentle smile remained on his face. "Eat well."
She stared at his face and said, "Then why are you still so thin? You haven't gained any weight at all!"
After taking a closer look, I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
