Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Chapter 160: Nourishing the Stomach & Buying Pants

The air after the rain smells of moist earth.

As a spirit beast, Jingzhi is quite liked.

Lin Jiu too.

After being forced by the stubborn Jingzhi to take a hot bath, he relaxed and leaned against the pavilion in a white shirt, staring at the withered lotus leaves by the pond in the setting sun.

As he watched, he suddenly slapped his forehead.

Look at his bad memory, he forgot everything as soon as Shi Cheng interrupted him.

The church attic has not been checked yet.

No, he still had to go and see.

As soon as he turned around, a coat was thrown over his shoulders.

No one would be so considerate to him except her.

Before he even saw her face, his hand reached out to hold her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going……"

Jingyi disapproved, "Where are you going?"

If he doesn’t eat for a day, will he go to heaven?

Lin Jiu saw Wencai holding a tray with a silly smile on his face behind her, so he quickly let go of her hand and coughed twice.

"I'm going to go into town and see that church again."

Jingzhi looked at the sky, beckoned Wencai to put his things down, and then placed a small cup in front of him:

"Eat something first. It's been a long time since noon. Do you still want to eat?"

She seemed angry again.

Lin Jiu glanced at her cautiously, but was glared back at by Jingzhi.

Seeing Wencai smirking, he gritted his teeth and glared at him, then silently put on his coat and asked Jingzhi: "What is this?"

Jingzhi lifted the lid of the small bowl through her handkerchief and said to him with a faint smile: "Yam, minced meat and egg custard is nourishing and delicious. Finish this first, then have some rice, and then you can do whatever you want."

His hands, which were buttoning his coat, paused as he smelled the fragrant and delicious scent of egg custard.

Lin Jiu sat upright in his seat, stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be easily moved recently.

He lowered his eyes and gently tugged at her sleeve, "Sit down, do you have one too?"

"Yes, Auntie gave me a long yam!" She pointed to the small bowl on her right, then turned back to Wencai who was looking at her eagerly and said, "Yours is in the pot, help yourself."

Wencai smiled until his crow's feet appeared on his face. He responded happily and walked towards the kitchen with the empty tray.

Hearing Wencai's footsteps going away, she turned back again and said, "Save the ones for Qiu Sheng, don't eat them all!"

How can a young man feel full with just one pancake?

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

"What are you eating of mine?"

Qiu Sheng hurried into the yard, his clothes were wet, sticking tightly to his body and dripping onto the ground.

"Oh, your meal is in the pot. Go change your clothes and take a shower first. Don't get sick in this critical moment."

Qiu Sheng nonchalantly brushed away the two strands of hair that had fallen onto his forehead. "No need to take a shower. Wencai, bring out my meal. I'll change and come right over! I have something to tell you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the room to change clothes.

Jingzhi and Lin Jiu looked at each other.

Did he find any clues?

Qiu Sheng didn't keep them confused for too long.

In less than two minutes, he came out of the room with his shirt half-open, his shoes on and his heels tapping.

When Jingzhi heard the footsteps, she had just turned her head halfway when her eyes were covered.

"From now on, you are not allowed to come out without proper clothes on!"

"Oh, I forgot there were women here. Sorry, sorry!"

Qiu Sheng buttoned his shirt and said to the two people who were hiding from each other:

"Master, guess what I saw when I went to my uncle's house?"

Lin Jiu rolled his eyes at the back of his head in annoyance, "What did you find out?"

Qiu Sheng recalled what he had seen and couldn't help laughing, "Master is beating the child!"

Jingzhi pulled Lin Jiu's hand away and asked, "Whose child did you hit?"

Qiu Sheng buttoned his shirt and turned around, taking three or two steps to sit down opposite her. "Of course it's his own child, that Shi Shaojian, who else could it be!"

Lin Jiu: “…Oh?”

Jingzhi glanced at him, then turned to ask Qiu Sheng, "Did you hear anything?"

Qiu Sheng: "Oh, what's my level of cultivation? What's my uncle's level of cultivation? How dare I get so close to him?"

Jingzhi: "Then..."

Qiu Sheng leaned his elbows on the table, raised his hips slightly, and looked directly into the small cup in front of them, while still responding:

"Of course I didn't hear it!"

Jingzhi: (-_-) She just asked that question.

Lin Jiu: (-_-) He shouldn't have had such expectations.

They both had the same dead fish eyes and drank their soup silently with their heads down.

"Hey, hey, hey, I also braved the storm and the risk of being beaten to death by my uncle to peek. What are you two doing with those expressions?!"

Jingzhi & Lin Jiu: (?_?)

I'll give you a look and you can experience it yourself.

He sat back in his seat and pointed at the small cup, "Master's Wife, is there a portion for me? If so, I have a very important discovery that I haven't told you yet!"

Just then---

"Here I come! Brother, please make way, it's hot, hot, hot!"

Wencai put down the tray and handed him the same small cup.

"Everyone has a share. Is Master's wife the kind of person who eats alone? Don't keep us in suspense." Wencai said.

Qiu Sheng looked at this thing curiously.

He and Wencai always cook from the same pot, so there's no need for such elaborate dishes.

As soon as his hand touched the lid, it was so hot that he immediately let go and pinched his earlobe.

"I told you it's hot!" Wencai kindly covered it with a rag and handed him a spoon. "Eat it! Master's wife was worried you'd be too hungry, so she made this specially for you. It's really a bargain for you."

"What are you talking about? What do you mean by giving me a bargain?" Qiu Sheng raised his fist. "You haven't gone out for a day, so giving you food is a bargain!"

Wencai glanced at Jingzhi and explained hurriedly:

"I'm not idle at home either. I sweep the floor, wipe the table, and wash clothes. Master's wife, you have to believe me!"

Jingzhi watched them bickering with great interest. Lin Jiu rubbed his brows, a little impatient. "Okay, Qiu Sheng, tell me, what did you find?"

Qiu Sheng gently put down the spoon, leaned over and said to the three people who unconsciously came over:

"Master's uncle had set up an altar. When I went there, Shi Shaojian was performing a ritual. He was halfway through when Master's uncle discovered him and hung him up and beat him."

As he spoke, he began to laugh again. "So, the rain stopped so quickly just now because the spell was interrupted. You didn't see Shi Shaojian screaming miserably just now."

Lin Jiu glanced at him sideways, "So the reason you came back so late was because you watched someone beat a child over there?"

Qiu Sheng gave an awkward laugh and lowered his head, "There's a show to watch, it would be a shame not to watch it."

Lin Jiu: "Hmph! Senior Brother, you're a face-conscious person. If you want to die, just stay and watch the show next time. You don't have to go back to the charity cemetery and bring trouble to your master."

Jingzhi couldn't help but click his tongue.

Jiu's caring words were so awkward.

Fortunately, Qiu Sheng was smart. He grinned happily, then lowered his head to drink the soup, exclaimed exaggeratedly, and gave her a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

"Puchi!" Jingzhi was amused by him, "Eat yours."

Wencai drank his soup, somewhat absentmindedly.

He carefully looked at Lin Jiu's face and saw that he didn't look really angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively extended his hand to Lin Jiu, "Master, give me some money, I want to buy some underwear."

Lin Jiu paused while drinking the soup, looked at Jingzhi awkwardly, and then secretly glared at Wencai.

Boy, has he grown up and his underwear become smaller? But his body shape hasn't changed.

And isn’t it a bit inappropriate to discuss this topic in front of Jingzhi?

As soon as Wencai saw his eyes, he knew that he had misunderstood.

"I'm not buying it from me." He pointed timidly at Lin Jiu, "I'm buying it from you."

Jingzhi opened her mouth slightly and turned to look at Lin Jiu in surprise.

Ajiu, is it okay? Can I have a second development?

Lin Jiu blushed when she looked at him, and directly rejected Wencai, "No, I have something to wear."

Wencai lowered his head, his voice softer than a mosquito's, "It's gone now."

"What did you do to my...pants?"

Wencai saw Lin Jiu start to fuss and glare, and was so frightened that he pushed the blame onto Xiaoyu. "It was the little zombie who did it! I wanted to move your clothes out to wash since winter was almost here, but he insisted I play with him, and then, and then..."

Lin Jiu's eyes became more and more dangerous, "And then?"

Wencai pushed the chair away with a clang, stood up, took two steps back, shrank like a quail, and pointed to a few pieces of cloth hanging under the eaves not far away.

Strips of pure white cloth fluttered in the wind in the sunlight.

This is what happened next.

Lin Jiu's forehead was throbbing with veins.

Jingzhi: I just praised him for being smart today, how come he got into trouble again...

Lin Jiu took out a coin purse and placed it on the table. "Go buy it now and give me back all the change. I don't want anything with patterns on it."

"Okay, okay! I'll go right away!" Wencai took the money and ran away quickly.

Seeing that he was going into the town, Qiu Sheng couldn't sit still, so he ate the egg custard in a few bites and followed him.

Jingzhi: "Aren't you going to town too? Why don't you ask them to wait for you?"

Lin Jiu: I was really so angry that my brain was congested. I didn’t expect it.

"I……"

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a sudden knock on the gate.

Jingzhi: "Did you two forget to bring something?"

"Is Uncle Nine here?"

It was a female voice, a familiar female voice.

She frowned slightly, and tapped the back of his hand slowly with her fingertips, which made his heart panic.

"Looking for you." She said in a flat tone.

"I, I'll go out and take a look."

No, he didn't do anything bad, so why should he feel guilty?

Lin Jiu straightened his chest and raised his head, stood up, walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened it.

As soon as the horizontal bolt was opened, a group of nuns rushed in.

There was even a nun who stumbled and fell into his arms. After Lin Jiu helped her to stand steadily, she took several steps back and almost fell off the stairs.

Suddenly, a hand held his waist from behind.

"Jingzhi..."

"I know, I'm not angry." His tone was very calm.

Lin Jiu: So when your girlfriend says she’s not angry, is she really angry or not?
