Chapter 157: The Promise

A distance of several hundred meters is just a few breaths away for Pei Susu, who is anxious, and behind her, Sanwu also closely follows her pace, although Sanwu can endure hardships, but can not be exposed to the scorching sun, who will be stupid to continue to be exposed to the sun, instead of hiding in the shady grass shed.

Zhao Jiuge wiped the sweat on his face, stood behind and looked at the two people who were rushing towards the pergola, and shook his head a little helplessly, but his dark eyes were full of smiles, and then Zhao Jiuge also hurriedly rushed to the direction where the two were running.

When Zhao Jiuge came to the pergola, he saw Pei Susu and Sanwu staring wide-eyed, but even if it was only one step away, Zhao Jiuge could clearly feel that the temperature inside the pergola and outside was simply very different. Zhao Jiuge swept his gaze casually, and only then did he see the scene inside the pergola clearly.

The pergola made of wood and hay was extremely simple, except for a long wooden table at the door and a few wooden pillars supporting the pergola inside, there was nothing else, only dozens of large and small watermelons with a little mud on the surface lying quietly in the corner of the pergola.

And on the long table was lying on the middle-aged woman in her forties, the middle-aged woman was wearing a somewhat shabby short-sleeved cloth dress, the dark cloth had been washed and a little old, Zhao Jiuge couldn't see the middle-aged woman's face clearly, at this moment she was lying on the long wooden table with her head sideways and falling asleep.

The summer weather is easy to be sleepy, not to mention that for these rural women who work on the ground all day long, they feel even more tired, through the side face of this middle-aged woman, Zhao Jiuge can obviously see that even if she is asleep, because of the hot weather, this middle-aged woman's forehead is full of sweat, accompanied by the melodious and loud snoring sound that is accompanied by the slight undulation of her body.

The arms, which were exposed from the cuffs of their clothes, were dark and wrinkled, mixed with a little dirt.

Seeing this, Zhao Jiuge sighed a little helplessly, for the whole world, the most bitter thing is these ordinary people, if it weren't for the coincidence that they embarked on the path of cultivation, maybe at this moment he was struggling for food and clothing like them, but even if he could manage the injustices in the world, he couldn't manage the things that involved the poverty of the people, and the depression in his heart could only turn into a sigh.

With a casual glance, Zhao Jiuge knew that this was just a pergola selling watermelons, it was already hot at noon in the summer, and basically no one came out, not to mention that it was next to this somewhat remote farmland, and this middle-aged woman might just not be able to endure the heat and fatigue of summer, so she lay on the long wooden table and took a nap.

Just when Zhao Jiuge was about to speak, Pei Susu stretched out his white and tender fingers, begged to be placed in front of the seductive red lips, and made a no-sound movement, and at the same time looked at the middle-aged woman who was buying a sleeping middle-aged woman, indicating not to wake people to sleep.

Zhao Jiuge smiled knowingly, looking at Pei Susu and not speaking, he knew that no matter how hot Pei Susu's temper was on weekdays, he was always so kind in his heart, and he considered others even if it was a little thing.

But the two of them thought like this, but others didn't think so, the two of them were afraid of making a noise to wake up the middle-aged woman who was still asleep, and San Wu was already looking at the watermelon in the corner of the ground with his eyes a little straight, accompanied by the appearance of not blinking his eyelids, it was the Adam's apple that shook slightly and swallowed saliva.

"I want to eat watermelon. ”

For a long time, San Wucai said softly, and looked at Zhao Jiuge and San Wu with longing eyes, like a gluttonous child.

"Eat if you want, there's a lot of it, and no one is stopping you. Pei Susu said angrily, but his voice was very low, and while rolling his eyes and looking at Sanwu, he fanned the wind with his hand on his forehead, as if this could bring a little coolness.

Sanwu looked at Pei Susu with such a blank eye, made a shy appearance, glanced back at the watermelon from time to time, and then said softly, "Although I am greedy, but the monk will not steal, people are sleeping now, I move my mouth without the permission of others, what is the difference between that and stealing!"

In normal times, Pei Susu couldn't help but ridicule for a long time, but now he didn't want to make too much noise, "Give money is to eat you if you want to." ”

After Pei Susu finished speaking, he took out a magic jade pendant from his storage ring, the jade pendant is not big, only half a palm thick, exuding a faint luster, after all, there is only the quality of the magic weapon, under the illumination of the sun in this daytime, you can see with the naked eye that the jade pendant exudes a soft pale yellow halo.

Pei Susu naturally does not have the yellow and white things used by ordinary people in his hands, but these gadgets are naturally a lot, a magic weapon jade pendant in exchange for a few watermelons, in the eyes of those casual cultivators, it is simply an incredible thing, although the magic weapon may be very common, and this middle-aged woman can't use it, but it can still turn evil into good fortune when worn on the body, and it is more useful than any more yellow and white things, not to mention that this magic weapon jade pendant is not considered quality, and the jade of its own material alone is worth a lot of money.

After Pei Susu took out the magic jade pendant, he lightly placed it next to the middle-aged woman's forehead, and as the magic jade pendant was taken out, it seemed that the temperature around him had dropped slightly, with a hint of coolness.

Zhao Jiuge silently watched everything Pei Susu did without making a sound, maybe looking at these haggard and tired ordinary people, what he did could bring some comfort to his heart.

Sanwu's face was complicated, and after being silent for a while, he returned to his hip-hop appearance, and a greedy monkey hurriedly moved two round watermelons from the corner, with a little mud on the surface, and after holding them one by one, Sanwu did not forget to signal Pei Susu and Zhao Jiuge with his eyes if he wanted to take two, Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu shook their heads in unison, for them, Sanwu is still young after all, young people, can't stand the temperament of eating, drinking and having fun, and they have gradually become mature and calm after years of precipitation.

With two round watermelons in his hands, and three nothings to eat, the short-term complicated emotions just now were quickly swept away, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Let's go, although I have given things to be at ease, but wait for a while for others to wake up, so as not to cause trouble again. ”

Seeing that Sanwu took two watermelons, Zhao Jiuge sighed lightly, and hurriedly said softly, after a short rest in the pergola, it was not as hot as just now, not to mention that when he really couldn't stand it, he would run his spiritual power in his body, and all the heat would disappear.

On the long wooden table, the middle-aged woman dressed in frugal clothes was still asleep, and the sweat on her forehead stained a few strands of green silk on her forehead, and the snoring was still the same, but the difference was that there was a jade pendant with a luster color and high pattern on her forehead.

After being satisfied with the two watermelons, and Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu, the three of them glanced back at the middle-aged woman who was still asleep, and left the pergola made of hay without looking back.

Sanwuhe couldn't wait to split the watermelon with the palm of his hand, took it in his hand and ate it in a big gulp, and the hot sun above his head seemed to be nothing anymore, so he silently followed behind Pei Susu and Zhao Jiuge.

"Although these ordinary people are like ants, but I am eager for the life of these mortals, tired of everything that the family brings to me, I was used to seeing the cheapness of human life when I was a child, like flying duckweed, blowing and scattering, so I don't like to stay at home since I was a child, I hate everything there, only in this mundane world, can I be happy from the bottom of my heart, although I have not lacked anything since I was a child, but what I yearn for the most is actually very plain, that is, with the person I love the most, live a coarse tea and light meal life, grow old together, it is best to raise two lovely babies。 ”

Pei Susu's tone Zhao Jiuge had never heard it, with a bit of helplessness and vicissitudes, this was also the first time Pei Susu mentioned her family, but Zhao Jiuge felt a little ambiguous, but seeing the flush on Pei Susu's cheeks because of the last sentence, he forgot to understand the deep meaning of this passage for a while.

What Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu didn't notice was that when Pei Susu said this, Sanwu, who was eating watermelon, raised his head and glanced at Pei Susu's back with deep meaning.

"Ant? I wasn't an ant before. ”

Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly after listening to Pei Susu's words, which made him think of the first time she met Lin Panruo, she looked at her eyes, and everything appeared in front of her like a dream.

"Ants also have the happiness of ants, and immortals also have the troubles of immortals. The world says that the gods are good, but the troubles of the gods are even greater, and the words of the human heart are the most difficult to say, but no matter what the situation is in the future, I only hope that you will be safe and happy. Then there was an indescribable look in Zhao Jiuge's eyes, but what Pei Susu couldn't realize in his heart.

"Really, will you not abandon me no matter what?" Pei Susu was overjoyed when she heard Zhao Jiuge's words, her beautiful face was full of joy, and then she couldn't help but ask again. That happy look surprised Zhao Jiuge.

"Of course, no matter what the situation is in the future, I will not abandon you. Zhao Jiuge smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice.

"Retractor. Pei Susu stretched out his white and tender little finger and looked directly at Zhao Jiuge, Zhao Jiuge smiled dumbly, amused by Pei Susu's childish movements, but still stretched out his hand with Pei Susu.

Pei Susu suddenly smiled, like the weather in April.

The dark eyes behind him were as clear as clear water, just looking at the sweet two people so quietly, knowing the identities of the two, through such a long period of contact, he more or less understood the pain in Pei Susu's heart, and at the same time couldn't help but be anxious about the future of this bad relationship.

But it didn't take long for Sanwu to smile freely, the love words in the world are difficult to understand, not to mention that he is a monk, the world says that the gods are good, in his opinion, it is best to be at ease, women are just pink skeletons, why bother to worry about themselves.

Everyone has their own creation, as for the matter of Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu, they can only solve it by themselves in the future, and the causes they plant will bear different results.

Gently wiped the watermelon juice from the side of his mouth with his hand, Sanwu smiled, looking so warm and innocent under the scorching sun.
