Embarrassed by the tearful eyes of the little baby, the boy stopped teasing him and put on his clothes and shoes in an extremely cooperative manner. When we walked outside, the monks had brought hot water and food. The two guards are named Ada and Aer respectively. Ah Da is making hot water, and Ah Er is setting out the meal. After washing his face, he can start eating immediately.
Elias inhaled the scent of food floating in the air, feeling hungry and unbearably empty. He hurriedly ran to the washstand, twisted out a wet handkerchief, and waved to the young man to come quickly.
Hearing the gurgling sound from the little baby's belly, the boy smiled and took the initiative to bend down to make it easier for him to move. Elias quickly wiped the young man's cheeks, ears, neck, etc., wiped his face with the remaining water, then ran to the dining table and stood still, looking at the dishes in the dishes, his eyes widened, and he was very surprised. surprise.
"How can you have meat to eat?" He has been here for half a month, and everything he eats is greens and radishes, and there is no smell of meat at all.
"Shh, don't say anything." The young man put his index finger on his lips and made a silencing gesture.
Elias nodded and saw Ah Da and Ah Er exiting the room after placing the dishes, and left reluctantly.
"Where are you running? Come here to eat." The young man said calmly.
"Are you talking to me?" Elias leaned on the door panel, sometimes pointing to herself, and sometimes sticking her head out to look at Ah Da and Ah Er outside the corridor. Happiness came so quickly that he couldn't believe his ears. In the apocalypse, being able to eat fresh food is a luxury. In ancient times, although you can eat enough, you still can't taste meat unless you are reincarnated in a wealthy family.
Therefore, Elias was so greedy for the sumptuous dishes on this table that she wished she could turn into a giant beast and swallow the dishes and table together. His eyes were glowing green, as if he was too eager, and he moved back into the house in small steps, with a suspicious light flashing at the corner of his mouth from time to time.
The young man put his fist to his lips, coughed slightly, and finally waved, "Come here, there's a lot of food today, I can't finish it all by myself."
"Yes, it's shameful to waste food." Elias sat down next to the boy, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and helped the boy pick up a pickled pig's trotter, and urged, "Master, eat quickly." You eat it before I can start.
"Well, you can eat too..." Before he could finish his words, the child had already picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, then waving his chopsticks to dig into the rice, as if he had been hungry for eight lifetimes.
"Eat slowly, there is still a lot." The young man held his forehead, feeling really helpless, but looking at it, he actually felt hungry. When he first arrived at Kaiyuan Temple, he was very unaccustomed to the crude food here. He was used to the fine clothes and fine food in the palace. Suddenly he lost everything and was thrown into the abyss. The huge psychological gap made him almost despair about the future. He had insomnia all night long, and often found it difficult to swallow even when he picked up a bowl.
He knew that he had to cheer up as soon as possible, because he was not alone, he also had his maternal family, and many confidants left by his mother. Once he falls, everyone will be buried with him. However, rationality returns to rationality, and truly getting rid of emotional entanglements does not happen overnight. The reason for taking in the toddler was to divert my attention and have more fun. Now it seems that this decision was the right one.
Toddlers eat deliciously and sleep beautifully. As long as their stomachs are full, although they always have a straight face, their eyes are filled with happiness and contentment. Their joyful mood is very contagious. I just don’t know if he will still be so heartless when he grows up and learns about his life experience.
Thinking of this, the young man sighed silently.
"Elias. How beautiful you are when you dress up and speak ordinary words. Is your name coming from this?" He took a piece of meat to the toddler and asked slowly.
"It means 'there is a beauty'." Elias doesn't like to be wordy, and her words are very straightforward and simple.
"Is there a beauty? Your facial features are quite exquisite. Maybe you will grow into a beauty in the future." The young man held the child's chin and turned him around for a long time. The facial features are indeed exquisite, but the most outstanding thing is a pair of eyes, which are dark, bright, deep and clear, like gems and even more like stars in the sky.
"Eat more, grow more meat, and you will look better when you are fat." He continued to pick up vegetables, feeling quite satisfied with raising a son.
Elias nodded repeatedly, her favorability towards the boy skyrocketing. He can not only protect himself, but also let himself eat meat all the time. Where can he find a better boss than a young man? I sold myself for five taels of silver, no loss at all.
"Who picked your name for you?" The boy didn't eat much. When he was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and teased the young child to talk.
"Me, myself." She wanted to say my mother, but thinking that she had been reborn, Elias quickly changed her words. Even Song's mother and Cassidy Bai didn't know this name. They would only call him "Young Master" and said that when he entered school, they asked him to give him a name with great meaning. Elias didn't express any opinion at that time, but she was very unhappy in her heart. If he is Elias, he will always be Elias.
The boy shook his head and laughed. He never expected that a five-year-old child would give himself such a name. Is there a beauty? Really thick-skinned.
After the two had breakfast, a shopkeeper from a cloth shop came to see them with a lot of cloth. Elias originally thought that the boy was making new clothes, but unexpectedly the other party pushed her forward and asked the shopkeeper to measure the size.
"Except white, all other materials are needed. He is more naughty and likes to roll around in the snow. White is really not resistant to dirt." The boy picked out the white fabric and continued, "Use silk cloth to make a few sets of undergarments. Trousers. By the way, try to make the outer robe thicker. Winter in Liangzhou seems to be colder than in Beijing. "
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.
Elias touched the fabric hanging from the table and felt very happy. After all, Song's mother and Cassidy Bai are the generation of women. They not only have to raise the young master, but also send him to study and practice calligraphy so that he will not waste his future. They need to spend countless money, so their life is very tight. Elias can only wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year. On weekdays, she even picks up Cassidy Bai's old clothes to wear. People who don't know her well in the village still think she is a little girl.
"Make me clothes?" He raised his head and looked at the young man eagerly, fearing that this was just his illusion.
"Well, since you've followed me, I won't treat you badly." The young man patted the top of his hair and said in a very gentle tone.
Elias was instantly surrounded by happiness. To be honest, after he came to ancient times, his living conditions were not much better than in his previous life. He also had not enough food and clothing, and there was also a fierce ghost who wanted to kill him all the time. The level of danger was even higher than in the apocalypse. After coming to the young man's side, these situations were improved one by one.
What is life? Being with the boss is what life is all about! He sighed inwardly, and the corners of his mouth, which were always pursed in a straight line, finally turned up, creating two deep dimples.
This was the first time that the boy saw a young child showing an expression other than "expressionless". He couldn't help but stepped forward, poked the small hole on his left cheek, and said with a chuckle, "I just discovered now that Elias is actually still..." "It has two dimples."
The corners of Elias's raised lips slowly flattened, she rubbed her cheeks and said, "Thank you, Master. Elias will definitely go through fire and water for your master in the future!" Perhaps to the young man, everything he gave was nothing, it was just a small effort, but for him, For Elias, who comes from the last days, food, clothes, and a place to live are the most precious gifts he has received. You have to pay as much as you get. If the young man is in trouble in the future, Elias will help him even if he risks his life.
Seeing the gratitude and persistence in the young child's eyes, the young man was deeply touched. He was used to making friends with a purpose, and he was used to being one person on the surface and another behind the scenes. However, when he used his methods to deal with this pure white baby in front of him, he felt extremely ashamed. But people will always grow up and change. Who can always maintain their original intention? If the little doll was always as sincere as he is now, he didn't know if he could continue to use him.
Well, it’s too early to think about this now, let’s look at it later. Thinking of this, the young man bent down and stroked You Shu's cold cheek with great gentleness.
---
The two guards discovered that their master had become much more cheerful recently and had developed a bad habit of teasing Elias. He knew clearly that You Shu was greedy, so he ordered them to buy a lot of food and put it on the table, but he refused to let You Shu touch it. He made You Shu stare and drool, and finally showed mercy and handed over a cake. In the past, he stood up straight and let Elias jump to grab it.
Elias is also a fool, she gets fooled every time, she doesn't give up even when she is sweating profusely from jumping. In the end, she hangs on her master with all four limbs and climbs up like a little monkey, vowing to eat the pastries into her stomach before she gives up. . Until then, the master would laugh and tear off the little monkey, break the cake into pieces and feed it with his own hands.
The two guards had never seen such a childlike and energetic master, and they were shocked and at the same time very relieved. It seems that the master has emerged from the haze of being exiled.
On this day, the young man stayed in the study room unshakable, reading and practicing calligraphy. Elias stood on a stool to help him sharpen his ink. After she finished grinding, she stood with her hands behind her hands, waiting for the next job with a serious expression. The young man took the time to glance at the young child and said warmly, "How tired are you from standing? Go sit over there and warm yourself by the fire. Look at you, you have frostbite on your ears."
Elias quickly covered her ears, but accidentally exposed the red and swollen backs of her hands.
"I actually have a few growths on my hands." The boy sighed as he took out a box of ointment from the drawer, smeared it evenly on the back of the child's hands and ears, and finally waved his sleeves, "Let's go and stay aside."
Elias glanced at the boy gratefully, then jumped off the stool and walked to the stove to warm her hands. He no longer wanted to say thank you, because no amount of thank you could offset the young man's care for him. He could only keep this kindness in his heart and do his best to repay it in the future. If it weren't for the boy, he knew he wouldn't be alive at this time. Although there are no zombies in this world, invisible ghosts are far scarier than zombies.
Thinking of ghosts, Elias's relaxed heartstrings immediately tightened. By counting with my fingers, I found that the evil ghost had disappeared for eight or nine days. I don't know how many people had been killed and how much yang energy had been sucked in during these eight or nine days. Every time he disappeared, he would be much stronger when he appeared again, so Elias didn't dare to let down his guard for a moment.
