Chapter 577: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (181)
Autumn passes and winter comes.
The snow fell silently, covering the streets and alleys with a layer of silvery white.
The weather has gotten colder, but it's not the coldest time yet.
The water in the well had not yet frozen.
Xiao Tang huffed and puffed as she fetched a bucket of water.
Hearing the door open, I turned around and saw that it was the young lady coming out.
Xiao Tang quickly ran over and handed the warm oil paper package she was holding to Jiang Yingchu.
"eat."
Xiaotang can speak now.
However, he can only say a few words at a time, and he has a lisp, so his pronunciation is unclear.
"..."
Jiang Yingchu glanced at the oil paper package and pushed Xiao Tang's hand away with disdain.
"Where did you steal these steamed buns from this time?"
Xiao Tang stammered, "It wasn't stealing..."
She bought it; she could only afford one steamed bun.
When Xiao Tang brought Jiang Yingchu out of the Lingyun Sword Sect, she also took a carriage with her. It was the one she had ridden in before; it was very big and comfortable.
Later, because she ran out of money, she sold the carriage and rented a very dilapidated courtyard with Jiang Yingchu.
In order to survive, she wanted to do manual labor to earn money to support the prostitute.
However, because of her unsightly appearance, Xiao Tang covered her face and wore black clothes to conceal her figure, so that no one could see what she looked like.
But just as she was about to go out to find odd jobs that day, she bumped into the young lady. Then the young lady suddenly cried out and fainted, which frightened her so much that she quickly found a doctor.
The doctor was a quack and couldn't figure out what was wrong with Jiang Yingchu. Moreover, he made Xiaotang spend the last of her coins on medicine before leaving.
Xiao Tang couldn't care less about anything else; she just fed Jiang Yingchu medicine every day. Fortunately, Jiang Yingchu gradually woke up in the end.
Xiao Tang was both happy and worried.
She was happy that the swindler's medicine worked, but worried that she really had no money left.
However, after Jiang Yingchu woke up, he neither ate nor drank, and the occasional look he gave her seemed to carry a hint of disgust and regret.
Xiao Tang then belatedly remembered that her previous outfit was exactly the same as when she took care of the young lady at the clinic.
The young lady knew she was a fake Maoyou.
"..."
Jiang Yingchu said coldly, "Don't block my way. I have something to do and need to go out. Don't follow me."
Xiao Tang was startled and took a few more steps closer.
"No, it's cold..."
Miss, you're dressed too lightly. You'll get sick if you go out like this.
Jiang Yingchu took a step back in disgust and raised her hand to cover the tip of her nose.
"Stay away from me, you stink."
Xiao Tang held the steamed bun and smelled it, puzzled.
Uh, I can't smell it.
But these are fresh buns I bought this morning, they shouldn't spoil so quickly, right? The owner even said he specially saved them for her.
Xiao Tang only realized what was happening after Jiang Yingchu brushed off imaginary dust from his sleeves and left the courtyard without looking back.
Miss... are you disgusted by her smell?
When Jiang Yingchu returned in the snow, she saw Xiao Tang standing guard at the gate of the courtyard.
"You...have been standing here the whole time?"
Xiao Tang nodded.
She stood there for a long time, and her hair was covered in a layer of ice.
Jiang Yingchu frowned: "What happened to your hair?"
Xiao Tang pointed to the well: "Wash..."
She washed herself with well water.
There wasn't a spare cloth, so she wanted her hair to air dry, but it naturally turned to ice.
Jiang Yingchu couldn't understand: "Taking a bath with cold water? How could you become so stupid?"
Xiao Tang silently lowered her head: "..."
Jiang Yingchu glanced at Xiao Tang's hair and said coldly, "Open the door."
Xiao Tang quickly opened the door.
Jiang Yingchu walked in without looking to the side, and Xiao Tang followed behind, taking out the oil paper package from that morning.
"steamed stuffed bun……"
There's a small stove in the courtyard; if the young lady gets hungry, she can heat it up and eat.
"steamed stuffed bun?"
Jiang Yingchu paused in her tracks: "Why haven't you thrown it yet?"
Xiao Tang stretched out the oil paper package: "Eat..."
"I already said I'm not eating it!" Jiang Yingchu frowned, and suddenly waved her hand, causing the bun to roll onto the ground, getting covered in the dirty snow.
"..."
Xiao Tang felt it was a pity.
The young lady doesn't want to eat; she's finished.
Although she doesn't need to eat, it's not a waste for her to eat.
Xiao Tang picked up the steamed bun and was about to put it in her mouth when it was slapped away.
"What are you eating? I already told you the steamed buns are rotten! They're spoiled! You stupid servant, you didn't even realize you've been tricked!"
Xiao Tang stood there blankly, not responding even after being called several times.
Jiang Yingchu practically yelled, "Get inside!"
"Oh……"
