Chapter 386 Revisiting the old place
Zhou Bai followed the winding mountain path to the front of Wu's old house.
I saw that the lights were still on inside, but the door that was always guarded before was only ajar.
Chains are too lazy to lock.
Zhou Bai stood at the door, feeling a little dazed.
In this familiar place, everything seems to be completely different again.
He stared blankly for a while, then stretched out his hand and gently pushed half of the door open.
Suddenly saw a figure in the yard, squatting on the ground, looking a little sneaky.
Zhou Bai felt that that figure seemed somewhat familiar.
So he slowly approached him, and before he knew it, he stood behind him.
"what are you doing here?"
Zhou Bai asked him.
While he was concentrating on the matter at hand, when Zhou Bai asked such a question, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
"Who are you? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Zhou Bai looked at the other person's familiar face, and couldn't help but curl his mouth slightly.
"Wu... Tiger..."
Wu Hu looked at Zhou Bai in surprise, "You know me?"
Zhou Bai shook his head, smiled and pointed to a new sign hanging on his waist.
Wu Hu suddenly realized: "Let me just say, you look so unfamiliar, how could you know me?"
As he spoke, he carefully inspected the two scallions that he just squatted on the ground and picked.
With no monsters invading, the members of the Wu family were idle in the yard, planting pots of fruits and vegetables.
"I was almost crushed.
These two scallions, but I picked them specially for Wuying to cook longevity noodles. "
Zhou Bai was taken aback when he heard the words Wuying and Changshou noodles.
Could it be Wu Ying's birthday today?
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet?
How did you suddenly appear here? "
Wu Hu patted the sand on the two green onions, and asked Zhou Bai not too concerned.
"I got lost on this mountain.
Seeing that the lights are on here, I wanted to come over and ask if I could stay overnight. "
Zhou Bai casually found a reason for himself.
Wu Hu raised his head, looked him up and down, and continued.
"There is no extra room. If you don't mind, I will share half of my bed with you."
"Huh?" Zhou Bai opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Wu Hu, you kid, are you so casual?
But before Zhou Bai was surprised, Wu Hu pulled him familiarly and walked to the kitchen.
"Clam what clam?
Walk, walk, you are lucky today.
I want to cook longevity noodles for Wu Ying, and I will give you a bowl by the way. "
When Zhou Bai was dragged away by Wu Hu, he looked up at the place where "Wu Family Rules" had been hung before.
I saw the previous sign, which had been taken away long ago.
Hanging there and replacing it, there are only eight simple words.
"Love in the heart, kindness in deeds"
Zhou Bai still wanted to look at the sign a few more times, but Wu Hu had already dragged him up the stone stairs.
In the kitchen.
In a large iron pot, boiling water was boiling.
And the boiling water is full of boiled noodles.
"When it's cooked, add these two green onions and you can eat it."
Wu Hu kept stirring the pot with a spoon.
I didn't feel anything wrong with the noodles that were battered inside.
Seeing him cooking the noodles, Zhou Bai couldn't help raising his hands, covering his eyes.
He should have known long ago that he shouldn't have any expectations of Wu Hu's cooking skills.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the kitchen door.
Zhou Bai hurriedly turned his head to look.
I just saw a little girl with twin ponytails walking at the door.
"Wu Ying."
Behind Zhou Bai, Wu Hu happily called out to Wu Ying.
Then he waved his hand, beckoning her to come over quickly.
Zhou Bai looked at Wu Ying who was standing at the door, and his eyes fell on her ears.
I saw her ears, which had returned to their normal appearance.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel happy.
In this way, the colored pills made by Wuchi also played a role in the body of other tribesmen.
This may be great news for this world.
Zhou Bai thought of this, and looked up at Wu Ying again.
But saw her standing at the door timidly.
Suddenly there was a stranger in the kitchen, which made Wu Ying a little afraid to go forward.
She just stood there until Wu Hu greeted her several times before walking over cautiously.
"Quick, quick, sit down.
Try the longevity noodles I cooked for you. "
Zhou Bai stood silently.
Wu Hu hurriedly pulled Wu Ying over, pushed her down on the table, and then brought a large bowl of longevity noodles over, and placed it in front of her.
Zhou Bai was the same, Wu Hu pushed him to the other side of the dining table, and forcibly brought him a big bowl of noodles.
"What are you doing in a daze?
Hurry up and eat! "
Wu Hu warmly greeted them to eat noodles.
Wu Ying and Zhou Bai couldn't help their kindness, so they could only pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of noodles, and put them in their mouths.
The expected bland and unpalatable taste entered Zhou Bai's mouth, making him frown.
Fortunately, after a while, Wu Hu took out a few plates of leftovers from dinner from the kitchen, which allowed Zhou Bai to barely eat a few more bites.
Wu Ying silently lowered her head and ate the noodles, Zhou Bai looked up at her, thought for a while, and suddenly said.
"Your name is Wu Ying, right?"
Wu Ying looked up at him blankly.
And Zhou Bai continued.
"I was just passing by and wanted to stay overnight, but I didn't expect to meet your birthday.
Didn’t prepare any presents either.
I can only wish you a happy birthday.
I hope that in the days to come, you will have no waves in the years, a happy life, and everything you expect. "
When Wu Ying heard Zhou Bai's blessing, she was at a loss and nodded her head repeatedly.
"Thank you, that...you eat vegetables..."
After she finished speaking, she quickly pushed a plate of vegetables in front of Zhou Bai.
"You eat too."
After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he picked out Wu Ying's "favorite" duck leg from a pile of dishes, and put it in her bowl.
So the two of them, looking at the food in front of them, fell into embarrassment again.
Outside the kitchen door, at this time, there was another burst of footsteps.
Wu Hu secretly called Wu Ying over tonight, but when he heard footsteps coming again, he immediately looked outside the door with some doubts.
"Wu Hu, it seems that the workload given to you recently is too little.
I still try my best to cook noodles at night. "
Before the people outside the door arrived, an old voice came first.
Wu Hu heard the voice of the old patriarch, and immediately stood up nervously from his chair.
Then, they saw a wrinkled face slowly walking into their field of vision.
The old patriarch's eyes froze for a moment when he saw Zhou Bai.
But it quickly returned to normal, and continued to walk in as if nothing had happened.
"Old patriarch, you can't blame Brother Wuhu for this.
He knew it was my birthday today, so he planned to celebrate it for me. "
The old patriarch looked at Wu Ying begging Wu Hu for mercy, and suddenly laughed out of his deliberately stern face.
"Of course I know it's your birthday.
That's why I came here on purpose. "
Wu Ying immediately showed a surprised expression.
Then, the old patriarch took out a package from behind and placed it in front of Wu Ying.
"Here, this is a birthday present for you."
Wu Ying hurriedly took the package happily: "What is it?"
"Take it apart and have a look, you will know if you don't."
Wu Ying stared at the old patriarch with sparkling eyes, unpacking the package in front of her expectantly.
But after seeing the things inside clearly, his eyes dimmed immediately.
Because the package given to her by the old patriarch contained several exercise books...
"Didn't you always fail to recite the textbook?
Do more practice, there will be improvement. "
Wu Ying held the heavy exercise book in her hand, and could only smile at the old patriarch.
"Okay, you guys go on.
I, an old man, will not bother you young people to celebrate. "
The old patriarch left the kitchen after delivering the gifts.
Wu Ying was left with those exercise books in her hands, showing a melancholy expression.
Zhou Bai and Wu Hu laughed when they saw her expression.
The hunched figure of the old patriarch walked alone on the long stone stairs of Wu's old house, listening to the bursts of laughter behind him, a smile appeared on his face.
After the brief birthday party, Wu Ying walked back to her room.
Zhou Bai followed Wu Hu and walked back to his room.
On the way, Zhou Bai always felt that there seemed to be one person missing from the party tonight.
It wasn't until they passed the door of Wu Chi's room that Zhou Bai realized that it was Wu Ying's second brother who didn't show up tonight.
Zhou Bai looked at the extinguished lights in Wu Chi's room, walked quickly a few steps, walked side by side with Wu Hu, and then pretended to ask casually.
"Hey, is there no one living in this room?"
Wu Hu saw Zhou Bai pointing to Wu Chi's room, so he replied.
"Oh, this room.
This is Wu Chi's room, he left with a group of people not long ago.
Those people seem to be called black, but they are still white.
Anyway, what is it called beard..."
