She Is Your Master Now
After the first lunar month, the weather became warmer, and Yan Shiba's complexion became better and better.
On the night when she confessed to Chengyun, Yan Shiba told Wen Ran that she would be a lovable person in the future, and she really put it into practice.
The first thing Yan Shiba decided to do was learn to cook. The reason is simple, everyone likes people who are good at cooking.
Wen Ran was very supportive and said she could teach Yan Shiba. For the former killer leader, if he wanted to live an ordinary life and get a little bit of smoke and fire, cooking was indeed the most direct way.
However, the first day Yan Shiba followed Wen Ran into the kitchen, he almost burned down the kitchen. The hands that had killed countless people cut themselves when cutting vegetables.
Yan Shiba held up the finger that was bandaged by Wen Ran and ran to find Su Liang, "Gui girl, look, I'm so stupid that I can't even chop vegetables!"
Su Liang was reading an ancient book sent by Mo Yan. He raised his head and said, "If you don't want to do it, don't do it."
"Who said I don't want to do it?" Yan Shiba immediately retorted, "I really want to learn it!"
Su Liang closed the book in his hand, looked at Yan Shiba and said seriously, "If you want to be good at cooking, you do need talent, but you just need to learn to cook some homely things. Simply chopping vegetables does not require any talent, as long as you are serious. "It's not like you haven't played with knives before. If you think it's fun to cut your fingers, just pretend I didn't tell you."
Yan Shiba frowned, "You think I'm perfunctory? But I..." She really didn't hear what Ran said because she thought it was too simple. She cut her finger because she turned the smooth side of the pumpkin upward and cut it with a knife. Going down, Pumpkin ran away, and the knife came into close contact with his fingers. Ordinarily, as long as she corrects her mistake, it will be impossible to cut her hand. To be honest, the injury to her finger was just a trivial matter to her. Why did she want to show off the injury to Su Liang in the first place? I feel sick now...
"You're right! I'm going back to find Xiao Ranran! I don't believe it. I can't subdue a kitchen knife!" Yan Shiba's words were gone.
Su Liang picked up the book again, shook his head and smiled. The so-called kitchen killers are often just careless. For example, if you can't tell the difference between salt and sugar, and you used the wrong one the first time, you should remember how to tell the difference the second time. Even if you can't remember, you can taste it before putting it away, or else don't do it. As for Yan Shiba, he used to have a bit of a performative personality in front of Su Liang, and he liked to do things to attract attention. Tonight, he still had his old temperament when he raised his finger, but it was much better than before.
Yan Shiba realized that she was still a little impetuous. After being picked out by Su Liang, she became more serious. Not only did she insist on helping cut two vegetables, but she also stewed the soup under Wen Ran's guidance. Although Wen Ran taught her the steps step by step, after all, she made it herself, and after tasting it, there was no problem, and she felt full of accomplishment.
When it was time for lunch, Yan Shiba was very active in serving soup for everyone.
"Ghost girl, how are you? I did it!" Yan Shiba was looking forward to Su Liang's comments.
Su Liang nodded after tasting it, "It's very good, almost as good as Wen Ran's."
Zheng'er praised the venue and gave a thumbs up, "Aunt Yan did such a good job in cooking for the first time, that's amazing!"
Yan Shiba almost jumped up with joy, "Haha! I think I can learn a lot of dishes! Whatever you like to eat, I will cook it for you then!" This is more accomplished than the first time he succeeded in killing someone or defeated someone. Feeling, drinking the soup she made, I really feel that she is a normal person, a normal person with a family.
Su Liang thinks this is a good thing for Yan Shiba. It’s not necessary to learn to cook or cook by yourself. This is just a process that allows her to return to the ground and stay grounded from the original crazy life. Cooking is not the purpose, what matters is what she feels and what she gains in the process.
After that, Yan Shiba was very busy every day. She began to learn to experience various things that she had never done before. Not only cooking, but also washing clothes, embroidering, fishing, attending Lin Shuzhi's class with the children, and reading and writing. , even completing homework.
Except for discovering that her handwriting was uglier than that of the two little guys and that she couldn't compose poetry, everything else was very interesting. However, not being able to write poetry was not a big problem. Yan Shiba had no intention of taking the No. 1 exam, so she quickly found her own way of poetry - all kinds of weird limericks came out of her mouth, and Lin Shuzhi shook her head every time she heard them.
Su Liang thought it was pretty good, limericks were also poems, as long as they didn't bias the smart children and Yan Shiba could be free and happy.
So, it’s mid-February in the blink of an eye.
It has been more than half a month since Mo Yan delivered the gift, but Gu Ling and Su Liang still haven't decided who will go to the appointment and plan to wait until the end of the month.
Zhu Zan quickly adapted to life in the Su Mansion. He told Qi Yan that this was the first time since his parents passed away that he felt that he had a home again. Everyone in the mansion was so nice, and it was like a real paradise.
And Su Liang had been counting the time. When Feng Ming came to Su Mansion with Zhu Zan on the night of Shangyuan Festival, even if he took a long way, it was almost time to return to Xingluo Island.
Su Liang hoped that Feng Ming could successfully pass the test in front of Mo Yan and Sheng Yue and stay on the island safely. But if something unexpected happens, it's not a big problem. After all, she and Mo Yan are now in the stage of "peace talks". Unless Mo Yan wants to tear up the agreement on the meeting on the first day of March, he will not do anything to make Su Liang unhappy. . Judging from the gifts and letters sent before, Mo Yan wanted to get to know Su Liang. Although Su Liang didn't believe that he was sincere, he would still pretend to be fake.
It is worth mentioning that Su Liang has already informed Min Rou about the execution of all the members of the He family on Xingluo Island. Min Rou is not indifferent, but she is not sad. Her mother is dead, but her father is still alive. She knows that it is because Su Liang gave face to her grandfather, Minister Min, that he didn't bother to care about Min Rui. Min Rui is now paralyzed in bed and can't do anything. Min Rou, who has already made her choice, is already looking forward, leaving Xingluo Island and everything on it far behind.
…
Xingluo Island.
After the execution of the He family, the elders on the island have become more low-key, and their descendants no longer have the arrogance they once had.
Under Mo Yan, Sheng Yue is the person with the highest status on the island. Even the elders who originally disliked him are now more polite in front of him, and dare not do anything to disobey him.
The two old men sent by Mo Yan to Jiaye City to deliver gifts returned as scheduled and said that the gifts had been handed over to Qiu Jing.
Originally, the food on the island was mainly purchased from the Nanshan City of Jiaye City, but now it is not necessary. When Mo Yan went out of the mountain last year, he got a large amount of military rations, which were given to Liang by Yan State. Later, when he saw that the situation was not good, Mo Yan left without saying goodbye, and did not leave the food and grass for the Liang army. This was also one of the reasons for the demise of Liang State.
Now, the warehouses of Xingluo Island are full of those grains. As for vegetables and meat, the island has always been self-sufficient. And because of the warm seasons, these things are never lacking. Even if it is blocked, survival is not a problem for the time being.
This day, Sheng Yue came to the forbidden area to play chess with Mo Yan. This is the fixed time for the daily communication between the master and apprentice after Sheng Yue returned before the New Year.
Sheng Yue is very good at chess, and he wins more times than Mo Yan, but Mo Yan doesn't care.
After the game, Sheng Yue won again, "Master, thank you for letting me win."
Mo Yan smiled, "I didn't let you win. Ah Yue, I've said before that even if you don't come to Xingluo Island, you will definitely make great achievements in other places. I'm very happy that you can share my wishes. Last night, I suddenly thought of something."
Sheng Yue arranged the chessboard while listening to Mo Yan respectfully.
"You have been on the island for more than three years, but I didn't let you go into the water to try. I was really negligent. I also cherish talent, after all, many people didn't make it out alive." Mo Yan said, "But I always believe that the people chosen by God to travel through time and space must be the best among people, and you are undoubtedly the best among people. Others can't do it, but it doesn't mean you can't do it. Even if Gu Ling tried it later and succeeded, it doesn't mean you can definitely get through, after all, you are not a time traveler. Do you want to try it today?"
Mo Yan kept looking at Sheng Yue's expression and saw After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's good. I've only heard from Master all along, so I should go down and see if I can find any way."
"Okay. You have this courage, which is rare." Mo Yan said, taking Sheng Yue to the depths of the forbidden area, "Master thinks that if you want to open the door of time and space, you must be sincere and not afraid. I believe you can do this."
The two entered a cave, walked through a long corridor, and walked down a distance. Sheng Yue saw the pool that Mo Yan had guarded for most of his life. Mo Yan said that he came from here. At that time, the indigenous people on the island did not have the Mo family. It was Mo Yan who eliminated the original people and developed his own power on the island.
As for why Shen Qingxue married Mo Yan that year, it was because Mo Yan painted a portrait and asked his subordinates to look for people who looked like the woman in the painting all over the world. He hoped that his lover could come, although he knew that it was just a wishful fantasy.
Finally, he found a person who looked very similar to the person in the painting, Shen Qingxue. Unfortunately, she was not Mo Yan's lover in his previous life. Mo Yan married her and had a child, but they had no feelings for each other.
Back to the present, standing by the pool, looking at the layer of white mist above, under the reflection of the night pearls on the surrounding stone walls, it gave people a dreamlike feeling.
"Master does not force you to stay in it for a long time, but if you want to succeed, you have to try to dive underwater for a longer time." Mo Yan told Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue nodded, "I understand." Then he began to undress.
After taking off his coat and shoes and socks, folding them neatly and putting them beside him, Sheng Yue moved his limbs and took a deep breath, "Master, I'll go then."
Mo Yan patted Sheng Yue on the shoulder, "Go. I hope a miracle will happen."
Sheng Yue quickly entered the water and dived down. Mo Yan sat cross-legged on the shore, watching the black shadows and ripples in the water gradually subside, closed his eyes, and silently calculated the time in his heart as he had done countless times before.
The sound of water sounded again, and Mo Yan opened his eyes and saw Sheng Yue's head emerging from the water, gasping for air.
Mo Yan looked a little disappointed, and failed again. Because the result he expected was that no one would come back, let alone a corpse. But the results obtained in the past were either corpses or people floating up, and the latter was very rare. Yuan Ying was one of them. Her mother was a time traveler. Mo Yan thought that this might be special, but at that time he had planned to let Yuan Ying prepare to go into the water again, but she was rescued by Gu Ling.
Sheng Yue swam to the shore, Mo Yan stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my master. I didn't encounter a miracle." Sheng Yue looked depressed, picked up his coat on the ground and put it on.
"It's okay." Mo Yan patted Sheng Yue's shoulder, "You have been in there for almost the same time as Yuan Ying. Did you see anything?"
Sheng Yue shook his head, "Except for the stones at the bottom of the pool, I didn't see anything. I decided to come up before I lost consciousness."
Mo Yan sighed, "Go back first. If you want to try again in the future, just tell me. I think if you sneak in for a longer time, you might find something."
Sheng Yue nodded, "Yes, Master. I will find a chance to practice again."
The master and apprentice left the cave, and Sheng Yue took his leave and returned to his own residence.
After closing the door, Sheng Yue did not wipe his hair or change clothes, but sat quietly at the table, closed his eyes, and a light appeared in his mind. The corners of his lips curled up with a barely noticeable smile, which disappeared in a flash...
The next morning, Sheng Yue received a report that Feng Ming was back, and soon, Mo Yan also knew it.
Sheng Yue asked someone to take Feng Ming to see Mo Yan directly, and he went there too.
"Why did you come back so long? Where are the people who went out with you?" Mo Yan looked at Feng Ming kneeling in front of him and asked coldly.
Feng Ming was much thinner than when he left, and his complexion was not very good. He answered respectfully, saying that he and Zhu Zan left together last year and were ordered to go to find out the news of Sheng Yue. Because there were people defending the coast of Jiaye City, they took a long detour to get ashore. They did not find out the news of Su Liang's accident, and suspected that Sheng Yue had something wrong. The two decided to go to the capital to investigate, but they did not find any useful information. Zhu Zan felt that if Sheng Yue was in trouble, the two of them would definitely be squeezed by the He family when they returned to the island. There would be no good life, so it would be better to escape and live a free life. But after thinking about it, he decided to come back.
"Zhu Zan and I parted ways years ago, and I don't know where he went. This was the first time in my life that I went to the north. It was cold in winter and I got a serious illness. There was no one around me at the time. I almost thought I was going to see the King of Hell. I was dazed for a few days, but God blessed me and I got better. Before I came back, I went to the capital again, but still did not find out the news of Master Sheng, so I came back." Feng Ming said respectfully.
"Why aren't you afraid of being ostracized by He Wei's family after you come back?" Mo Yan obviously doubted Feng Ming.
Feng Ming shook his head, "It's because of Master Sheng. I believe that as long as I have talent, my master will see it. Master Sheng is my role model. I want to stand out and don't want to be an unknown person. When my master sent me to carry out the mission, it was because he valued me. I can't live up to my master's trust."
Mo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, shifted his gaze, and looked at Sheng Yue who stood quietly after coming in, "What do you think?"
Sheng Yue glanced at Feng Ming, "He is a talent."
Mo Yan nodded, "Then leave it to you."
Feng Ming followed Sheng Yue out of the forbidden area and went to Sheng Yue's yard.
After entering Sheng Yue's study, Feng Ming stood with his head bowed, without speaking.
Sheng Yue sat down and looked at Feng Ming quietly. After a while, he spoke, "You are a smart person. That's why you came back alone. There is only one reason. This is Su Liang's intention. She is your master now. Am I right?"
