Chapter 109 Arrived in Hanqing Village

  Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Tang Zhixi went up the mountain again, returned home in the afternoon, and cooked two buckets of instant noodles.

   Then he squatted at the door of the kitchen, propped his chin on one hand, and looked at the grass in the yard.

   It should be cleaned up, but... let's go back to the room and sleep for a while.

   As a result, I fell asleep until night.

  So, when Ye Hanzhi arrived at night, Tang Zhixi was pulling weeds in the yard.

  Complete the work that should have been done during the day but was not done.

  The lights in the yard were on, very dim light.

  Tang Zhixi's fair hands were covered with dirt, and her slender jade fingers seemed soft and weak. But when he grabbed it with one hand, his knuckles protruded, and the roots of the grass were pulled out with the soil, and he died.

   Just as he was concentrating, suddenly a sound of footsteps accompanied by the sound of the wind reached his ears.

   Tang Zhixi's hand stopped, and her blank expression hardened in an instant.

   This place is rarely visited by people. Not to mention it was so late, when the lights were on in this courtyard.

  She pulled up the grass in her hand neatly, and then quietly listened to the approaching footsteps.

   When the footsteps reached the door, she quickly got up. The speed was very fast, like the wind, and it turned over the courtyard wall.

  Seeing the person standing at the gate of the courtyard, his hand was moving faster than his brain.

   Almost over the wall, seeing someone, making a move, all in one go, without any pause.

   And the shot was extremely ruthless.

  The people at the door also heard the movement and turned around quickly. She also subconsciously blocked Tang Zhixi's blow.

   Then reached out and took her other hand that was punching quickly.

   As soon as he held this hand, he quickly used the other hand to block her raised knee.

   "Zhixi, it's me."

   Tang Zhixi's series of movements were so fast that they almost happened within two or three seconds. When he heard him speak, the hand that was not caught had already reached out to Ye Hanzhi's neck.

   He spoke a few tenths of a second later, and the hand slashed towards the side of his neck.

   Now that her hand was on the side of his neck in time, she froze for a moment: "Ye Hanzhi?"

   "It's me." Ye Hanzhi said with a smile.

  The moment Tang Zhixi was relieved, she smelled the scent of agarwood: "You, why are you here?"

  Ye Hanzhi wrapped the hand he was holding in his palm again: "Happy New Year."

   "Happy New Year?" Tang Zhixi's expression was a little blank, and even her head was a little blank.

   Ye Hanzhi's surprise at appearing here is almost the same as telling her a materialist, ghosts exist in this world.

   "Yeah." Ye Hanzhi smiled, "The main reason is to see you, I miss you so much."

  Ye Hanzhi was backlit, and his whole body was in shadow. It felt unreal, but Tang Zhixi's hand was in his, feeling his warmth, knowing that he was really standing in front of her.

  Tang Zhixi raised her head and looked at him without moving for a while.

  Hanqing Village is a corner hidden deep in her heart. No one has stepped into this place, never. But Ye Hanzhi came in, without warning.

  The lights in the yard are on, and the front of the yard is also very low. But Ye Hanzhi was too tall, completely blocking the light.

  So Tang Zhixi was also in the dark.

  But Ye Hanzhi could still see clearly. Her eyebrows, her expression.

   It's not that the two of them have never been separated, and sometimes they separated for more than ten or twenty days. But never lost contact.

  After three days of being unable to contact anyone, Ye Hanzhi really missed her.

  Looking at her for a while, Ye Hanzhi leaned over slightly and planted a kiss on her forehead. Then he hugged her in his arms.

   "Zhi Xi, I will accompany you back to celebrate the New Year next year." Ye Hanzhi promised softly in her ear, "I'm sorry, I let you come here by yourself this year, because I didn't think well enough."

   Tang Zhixi didn't speak, but for the first time, she took the initiative to lean into his arms and closed her eyes.

  Ye Hanzhi also tightened his arms and hugged him tighter. Another kiss on the top of her hair.

  The two hugged at the door for a while, and Tang Zhixi led him into the room.

  The lights in the house are brighter than those outside. After entering, Tang Zhixi realized that the dirt on her hands had gotten onto Ye Hanzhi's clothes.

  She pointed to the wet wipes and paper drawers on the table: "That... wipe your clothes yourself."

  Ye Hanzhi was looking at the things in the room.

   It is very concise, but very clean, everything is very clean.

  And all the daily necessities were brought by Tang Zhixi.

  Hearing her talk, he looked down at his clothes. Discovering the soil above, he raised his eyebrows.

  While taking off his coat, he looked at Tang Zhixi's hand: "What were you doing just now?"

   "Pull the weeds." Tang Zhixi kicked Ye Hanzhi into a chair, "Sit down for a while, I'll wash your hands and boil some water."

   "I'll be with you."

"Fine."

  The two went to the next house again.

   When going out, Ye Hanzhi glanced at the yard, and saw a small pile of weeds in the yard: "Pull weeds at night?"

   "I wanted to pull it out during the day. But I fell asleep during the day." Tang Zhixi took a few logs from the door.

  Ye Hanzhi immediately went to pick it up, but Tang Zhixi glanced at his hand and didn't give it to him.

  Holding a few short pieces of wood by himself, he gently kicked the kitchen door open with his feet.

  Ye Hanzhi froze for a moment, before he had time to think about it, he pushed the door open for her.

   Seeing the situation inside, he said: "This is really using fire to boil water."

"Um."

   Tang Zhixi squatted in front of the stove, put the wood away, found some soft wood, and lit the fire.

  Ye Hanzhi squatted beside her, looked at her and said, "There are no electrical appliances there."

   "It won't work, there will be a power outage." Tang Zhixi turned her head to look at him, "Stay away, it's terrible."

  Ye Hanzhi looked at her and smiled, and said, "Zhixi, you really treat me like a young master."

"do not you?"

  "I" Ye Hanzhi didn't deny it, "But I don't know anything, it's okay to start a fire."

   Tang Zhixi obviously didn't believe it.

  Ye Hanzhi took the lighter from her hand and asked her to move aside. Then he lit the fire himself.

  The technique is really skillful, and after ordering, there is no smoke coming out.

   "Third Master, not bad."

  Ye Hanzhi smiled, and moved the two logs stacked together to the side: "I have participated in field training. Making a fire is a necessary skill. If you can't make a fire, you have to eat raw."

   Tang Zhixi raised her eyebrows. She really didn't expect this.

   After all, Ye Hanzhi's background and his usual delicate life. It seems that he is the young master who has to be served.

   "Zhixi, wash your hands and put some water." Ye Hanzhi said, "If there is no water, the pot will burn out."

   Tang Zhixi went out to wash her hands. After returning, he scooped some water from the water tank next to the stove and put it in the pot.

  Ye Hanzhi just discovered that there was something washing his hands in the yard. It is a bucket with a hand-pressed water pump on it.

  Before washing your hands, you have to press a few times to get water. And the water has to be filled frequently.

   "I remember that there is no shortage of water here, and tap water is connected to every house."

   "Well, the village is connected." Tang Zhixi said, "But this place is on a mountain one kilometer away from the village."

   "The water."

   "Go down the mountain, walk five or six hundred meters, and there is a pressurized well." Tang Zhixi said, "If you are short of water, go get it."

  Ye Hanzhi didn't speak. The conditions in Hanqing Village are bad enough, and the place where they live is even worse.

   It can be said that I have caused trouble for myself.

"It's very inconvenient. But once you get used to it, you won't feel much of it." Tang Zhixi said, "You know, my grandma is of mixed race and was sold to this place. At that time, everyone excluded her, so she lived on the mountain by herself. "

  Ye Hanzhi took a small wooden stick, poked the fire, and listened to her quietly.

"There is a small piece of land in the back, which can be self-sufficient." Tang Zhixi knocked on the edge of the water tank, looked at Ye Hanzhi's face flushed by the fire, and said, "After a long time, I will get used to it. It’s almost isolated from the world, which is very comfortable.”

  Ye Hanzhi played with the wooden stick in his hand, thinking about what she said.

  If she really had a good time, why did she run out of Hanqing Village by herself?

  She and her grandmother can be said to be dependent on each other. Moreover, her grandmother is not in good health, and has been in need of care for a long time.

  How could she run out by herself and leave grandma here, unattended.

  She knew those people, obviously for many years. It's not that she met her grandmother in the two years since her death.

   Unless someone else is here to take care of her grandma, or he got the wrong information.

   "When did you leave Hanqing Village?"

  Tang Zhixi tapped the water tank's finger for a while, and said silently for two seconds: "It's been many years, I don't remember clearly."

Feeling that she didn't seem to want to talk, Ye Hanzhi didn't ask any more, and changed the subject: "I went to see Nan Cheng yesterday, he knew I was coming, so let me say 'Happy New Year' to you. "

   Tang Zhixi smiled: "Didn't you say you brought a New Year's gift?"

   "No." Ye Hanzhi said, "It is said that there is some problem with his funds, and he can only send it after collecting the lucky money."

   Tang Zhixi laughed: "Little kid, you are not very big, but there are many ghosts and thieves."

   "He's very smart." Ye Hanzhi boasted, "He's much smarter than his peers."

   "The gene is fine." Tang Zhixi said casually.

  Ye Hanzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I was also very smart when I was young, smarter than my peers."

   "?" Tang Zhixi didn't know why he suddenly praised herself

   "My genes are also very good." Ye Hanzhi said poorly.

   Tang Zhixi: "."

   Alas—did I say yesterday that I will update more today.

   I... just pretend I made a **** last night.
