Chapter 169
I originally thought Xi Wu would wake up the next morning at most, but unfortunately he was still sleepy, but at least the flush on his face had faded and his breathing slowly recovered. So I muttered a few words and set up a formation in the room before going downstairs to eat.
However, things were not as smooth as I expected. Xi Wu slept for three days. At first, he was anxious. Seeing that he had no sign of waking up, he took out the Qiankun Mirror and planned to invite the mirror spirit out to ask the final answer. However, the passing years were not good. The Qiankun Mirror stood there upright, no matter how I summoned it, it was noisy, just like an ordinary mirror, which looked simple and bleak because of its long age.
I tried all kinds of methods, and finally stared at Xi Wu's face for a while, and finally stopped thinking, pinched my fingers and calculated. After knowing that time was enough, my impatient mood gradually calmed down.
On the day he woke up, there was a rare trace of sunshine in the north city, pale and powerless, as if it could be dissipated by the wind. However, for the people here, this was already a rare good weather. Occasionally, the laughter of a child would be heard from the street, which was light and transparent, making people passing by smile involuntarily when they heard it.
At that time, I was sitting downstairs for breakfast. The north was extremely cold. Unlike the Jiangnan area, many snacks in the south were always small and diverse. However, the north was frugal and mostly pasta, and the style was different from the south of the bridge and flowing water. Here, people flipped their horses on their backs and put their arrows on their feet, and they could run towards the endless snow against the biting cold wind;
It rarely snows in the south. Often when winter comes, there are few people on the streets. Most of the people who go out to do business are forced by life. They stand on the street in thin clothes and shout, but the sound becomes particularly small because of the cold. After a while, it scatters in the wind and disappears. On the other hand, no one in the north is louder? Born in the north, even the young girl has a louder voice than the men in the south.
So when I took the contemptuous look of the waiter and took a dumpling with two bites, Xi Wu just went downstairs, his steps were a little slight, but his expression was good, and I thought it was almost done. So I rarely smiled these days and greeted the waiter who shrank and hid in the wind: "My man! Let's have another big bowl of dumplings! It's pure meat filling!"
Xi Wuji stayed silent and sat on the stool for a long time. It was not until the dumplings were on the table that he recovered and unexpectedly asked an irrelevant topic: "Why don't you close the window?" His voice was a little hoarse, but it did not affect the accusation in his tone.
I frowned and was confused: "Don't you think it's cool here?" He sneered twice, holding a pair of wooden chopsticks tremblingly, holding a pair of wooden chopsticks, and holding the bowl firmly with the other hand, swallowing two dumplings in one mouthful like swallowing. After five or six sips, he drank all the dumplings and soup completely. Then he smashed his mouth with unsatisfactory feeling and called another bowl of dumplings. Then he made time to say to me: "You are a fairy, and naturally you are not afraid of the severe cold and heat, but you are just a mortal, and you really don't have the ability!"
I was stunned, and after I reacted, I was still surprised: "Why? You have such a high talent in the realm of immortal cultivation, and you should have become an immortal long ago... And do you say that you are a mortal now? Then why are you still alive? Shouldn't you be reincarnated long ago?"
He nodded, probably because he saw that I was just asking questions and had no intention of closing the window at all, so he simply stood up, closed the window, and then returned to his original position tremblingly, and asked for a pot of warm wine.
Looking at his decent style, I had to stop the topic just now and tactfully advised: "It's early now, so it's not advisable to drink." Then I was blanched by the waiter who came to deliver wine and dumplings.
I watched him go downstairs with dementia, and then looked at Xi Wu in disbelief: "Has he despised me just now?"
Xi Wu nodded, and also said in a disgusting tone: "At this point, the man who eats two dumplings in one bite is the man who eats one bite, and the girl who eats one bite is half a bite like you just now... Tsk tsk! And this wine! The man here all drinks this way, warm up the body!"
I was a little annoyed after hearing this, but looking at his weak body who had been sleeping for a long time and had not eaten, I thought about it and stopped and continued the previous question: "Why did you become this pretty? When I saw you last time, you were still a middle-aged man with a beard and drunken life, but now you are as pretty as a girl. You won't be reincarnated as a daughter, right?"
He darkened his face and even stopped suspiciously with the movement of eating wildly in his hands. I looked at the change of his expression and suddenly became frightened: "Don't you say you have really been reincarnated as a daughter?"
Xi Wu's face became darker. After spitting out the word "get out!" from his mouth, he continued to bury his head and eat. I swayed around him for several times, but after a long time, he still looked incredible.
However, after he finished eating, he wiped his mouth and his face had returned to normal. He took out some broken silver from his pocket and put it on the table, and then took me back to the room without saying a word.
He looked at me, then quickly turned his head, and couldn't bear to look at him, "I think I'd better tell you! Don't make me casually arrange it in your heart!" Speaking of this, he looked at me fiercely, and then slowly explained: "For some special reasons, I can only be a mortal for eternity, and every time I reincarnate, I will remember the events of my previous life, without any accident. Maybe I can be reincarnated as a human being, or maybe I can be reincarnated as a cat or a dog, and naturally there will be reincarnation as a woman! But in this life... I am a man!"
After listening to the explanation, I suddenly realized that although I had never seen such a strange thing in the six realms, I knew something that was probably the best, and it was not beautiful to dig the roots. So when I heard his last sentence, I was still interested in teasing: "Of course I know! Xi Meiren! I was the one who helped you wipe your body last night!"
Of course, before he finished speaking, he saw that he was already angry and looked at me with a cold expression: "If you have the ability, just say it again! Although I am only a mortal, I have lived more years than you, and I naturally have many tricks. Why? Want to try it?"
I laughed awkwardly, and didn't plan to fight with him. I apologized with neat fists: "Just, you had a fever last night. I just put in a basin of hot water to help you wipe your back and remove the cold."
Afterwards, I reconciled again. After joking for a few more words, I finally became serious and looked at Xi Wu and said seriously: "So, can we talk about serious matters? What does the sentence you said before you fell asleep?"
But he pretended to be stupid and asked seriously: "Is he talking nonsense before going to sleep? Then I'll give it to you here..." But I didn't have the patience to deal with him and said directly: "Senior should know what I said? And why I will save you, right?"
He looked at me for a long time and finally smiled and said, "Okay, I can tell you, but I must follow you wherever you go. Do you agree?"
