Shen Li listened to Xingzhi slowly stepping outside to boil water. When she thought the water was almost done, Shen Li suddenly said to herself, "I can see things today. I didn't expect you, a fisherman, to have such a nice home."
The white hem of the clothes flashed by the side of the door, and the figure suddenly hid to the side. Shen Li heard a chaotic sound of dingling and clanging. She thought that the people outside had overturned the basin and spilled the water in a panic, and the scene must have been very embarrassing. Shen Li waited for a long time, and there was no sound outside, but she could imagine Xingzhi frowning, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
It really made people... feel comfortable.
Shen Li tilted her head and curled her lips. Before she could smile enough, someone stepped in. She turned around and saw a dark-skinned young man in coarse linen clothes, who really looked like a fisherman who worked on the beach all year round. Shen Li blinked and heard him say in a hoarse voice that she had been used to hearing in the past few days: "Miss, are your eyes okay?"
Shen Li looked him up and down carefully: "My five senses are sometimes good and sometimes bad. Today, my sense of taste, smell and touch are all bad, but I can speak, hear and see. It's a lucky day."
The young man frowned slightly: "Why is it so?"
"I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, there is nothing I can do now, so let's just make do with it for now." Shen Li stared into his eyes and said, "Thank you, young master, for taking out the black iron from my limbs. I really trouble you. Shen Li shouldn't have continued to bother me, but I'm still unable to move now, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to take care of me for a few days."
He said "hmm" lightly, then sat down, took a teacup and prepared to drink tea, but as if he suddenly realized that he shouldn't take it for granted now, he paused with the teacup in his hand, pondered for a while, cleared his throat and said, "I have to go out to sea to work every day. The girl is seriously injured. I have delayed a lot of time to take care of her in the past few days. I can't delay any more in the next few days."
Shen Li moved the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'll give you some expenses."
"It's not about money, but about the passing of time. You're wasting my life." Shen Li choked up, thinking that she shouldn't have agreed to his words. Who would have thought that she was now silent in response, and he was still shameless and said, "How about this, Miss promised one of my wishes before, but everything should come in pairs, how about you fulfill another wish of mine?"
"What do you want?"
"Even if I tell you now, Miss is afraid you can't do it, so keep it for now. This way I can also do my best to help you heal your injuries."
Shen Li turned her head and looked at him for a long time: "Young Master, it turns out that you are such a talkative person."
"Before the black iron was taken, the young lady looked like someone who would die if she said half a word more, so I dared not say much. But now..." He paused, and finally drank the tea in his hand. The edge of the teacup covered the curve of his lips, "Isn't this to trick the young lady into agreeing to my wish?"
Even if Shen Li didn't agree, he wouldn't throw her out. Shen Li was very clear in her mind, but she still looked at his profile and responded: "Okay, I will fulfill your two wishes. As long as Shen Li can do it, I will definitely help you achieve it." He put down the teacup, and the curve of his lips was still As usual, but only smiled for a moment, he turned his head slightly, facing away from Shen Li, pursed his lips, changed the smile on
his lips, and said: "I cooked fish soup, would you like to try it?" Shen Li nodded, although, for her today, eating fish soup and drinking water were the same as no feeling... After living in this small house for some time, Shen Li's limbs were too badly injured, and it was much slower than usual to recover. Her five senses still did not recover. She told herself not to worry, but every time she had to be fed, she hated Fu Sheng very much, and more importantly... "I need to go to the toilet..."
Shen Li said this in a stiff voice. In fact, they have done this many times, but they didn't know that Xingzhi was Xingzhi before. Shen Li just thought he was an ordinary fisherman. When he recovered, she would kill him.
But now that she knew it was Xingzhi, first, she couldn't kill him even if she recovered. Secondly...she...will still be shy after all... Thirdly, Xingzhi, he is a god, a person who should be worshipped, he shouldn't do this kind of thing for anyone...
While Shen Li's thoughts were still in a complicated struggle, Xingzhi took out the chamber pot in the corner as usual. He specially modified it for Shen Li to make it more convenient for her current body so that she could sit on it.
Xingzhi reached into Shen Li's quilt, loosened her belt, and then pulled her pants down. Shen Li's skirt was long, so he first straightened her skirt in the quilt, then carried her out of the quilt horizontally, put her on the chamber pot, let her sit, and finally walked out without changing his face.
Shen Li sat for a long time to adjust her mood, and then relaxed herself. But as for the final cleaning, she would never let Xingzhi do it even if she was beaten to death. She cleaned it herself despite the pain of the gaping wound, then hung her head and shouted, "It's done."
Xingzhi came in from outside again and did the same thing in reverse. When he covered Shen Li with the quilt, he saw blood oozing from her wrist. He frowned slightly and moved the corners of his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. Every time this happened, Shen Li would feel awkward for a while.
After Xingzhi settled her down, he left her space and went to the yard. In fact, he had nothing to do, just staring at the room in a daze.
After some time, Shen Li could barely walk on the ground. She couldn't help but want to run, but she would still fall down after walking a few steps. When she didn't have the sense of touch, it was okay and it didn't hurt. She just got up and continued to walk.
But once the sense of touch was restored, if she fell on the ground, the joints of her limbs would be painful, and no matter how hard she tried, she would have to lie on the ground for a long time with her teeth shaking.
And every time she practiced walking in the house, she chose to do it when Xingzhi was not around. She was already embarrassed enough, and she couldn't be more embarrassed in front of others, especially Xingzhi...
Xingzhi was away for longer and longer periods of time. He disappeared after breakfast in the morning. Shen Li also kept practicing her limbs every day, but the speed of recovery of her muscles and bones was not forced by her. On this day, Shen Li's vision did not recover.
She walked along the table. When she was tired of walking, she wanted to pour some water to drink.
She touched the teapot on the table but found that her fingers were not under her control.
She tried her best to hold the handle of the pot, but she couldn't do it. It is more difficult to restore the flexibility of the fingers than to recover walking and running.
Those tiny bones are not fully recovered. Holding a teacup and holding a pair of chopsticks is a hundred times more difficult than walking and running. Shen Li was a little obsessed at this time.
She tried desperately to hold the handle of the pot, but she couldn't succeed.
If so... If so, how could she hold the gun in the future and how could she protect her people? When her arm touched, she knocked the teacup next to her to the ground, and the sound of breaking was so harsh.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door.
Shen Li was angry and swept everything on the table away with a flick of her hand: "Get out!" The moment the door opened, the teacup fell on the door frame, and the broken porcelain pieces rubbed the person's brow bone, and blood immediately flowed out.
However, Xingzhi didn't even frown, took two steps forward, hugged Shen Li who was about to fall, and helped her to sit on the bed. When she lowered her head, two drops of blood fell on the back of Shen Li's hand.
When she couldn't see, her sense of touch was always more sensitive than usual. When he turned around to clean up other debris in the room, Shen Li grabbed his hand.
Xingzhi looked back at her, and Shen Li's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything. But the hand holding his hand only became tighter and tighter, and refused to let go. Xingzhi simply squatted in front of her, raised his head slightly and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
Shen Li was silent for a long time, turned her head, and drooped her head slightly: "I hurt... I hurt you... I'm sorry."
Knowing that Shen Li couldn't see today, he smiled softly in front of her: "It's okay."
Even though he responded like this, Shen Li didn't let go: "Physical reasons... I've been a little impatient recently."
"Yeah."
There was silence between the two. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Li loosened one hand, touched Xingzhi's face, stretched out her index finger and poked his cheek: "Is it hurt here?"
Xingzhi let her fingers mess around on his face, and didn't point her out a place, just smiled and answered: "No."
"Here?"
"No."
"Here?"
"Not right."
Realizing that he seemed to be playing with her, Shen Li was slightly angry and poked hard: "Here!" The feeling of wet fingertips came, and Xingzhi groaned. Shen Li withdrew her hand: "Sorry... I stabbed your eye..."
Xingzhi sighed, held her hand, and placed it on her brow bone: "Here."
A lot of blood seemed to have flowed... Shen Li asked: "Does it hurt?" Xingzhi
was silent for a while, and nodded: "It hurts." It was like being cut by a sharp knife, and the chill pain was followed by a burning pain. Just like the feeling in her heart.
Shen Li fell silent: "I will try my best... to control my temper."
"No need to control it." Xingzhi said softly, "Here, no need to control it." He wanted her to do whatever she wanted.
After losing her temper, Shen Li calmed down and thought about it. It was useless to force it. She still insisted on practicing every day, but she was no longer so eager for quick success. After practicing like this, her body recovered faster, and her five senses were sometimes good and sometimes bad. When she had no sense of touch, she focused on her vision and hearing. When she had no sense of hearing, her sense of smell was trained to be more acute. Soon, all five senses improved unexpectedly. For Shen Li, this was a blessing in disguise.
Finally, one day, when Shen Li could walk steadily without holding on to the chair or table, she suddenly wanted to go outside. Without any expectation, she pushed open the door and stepped out. It was this step that made her see Xingzhi standing in the yard.
He did nothing, standing in the sun like a young man by the sea, quietly meeting her face to face. He had never left. He had always been with her silently in his own way. "I'm hungry."
Shen Li said. "I cooked fish soup." It was a very ordinary conversation, but it warmed people's hearts. Since then, Shen Li has been able to take care of herself, and Xingzhi really left the yard.
He made breakfast early in the morning and put it on the table for Shen Li to eat. He packed up and went fishing with the nearby fishermen. At noon, he returned alone, carrying the fish he caught in the morning, lighting a fire with firewood, and cooking lunch for Shen Li. When Shen Li's sense of smell recovered, she could always smell the smell of the sea on him, but it was different from the initial smell.
At that time, he was full of the smell of sea breeze, without any fish smell, just like he had been idle at sea for several months and blowing the wind. Now he has all kinds of smells, salty, fishy, bloody... He is very serious about being a fisherman...
Just like he was reincarnated as a mortal. Although he has the memory of heaven, he only focuses on doing what a mortal should do in that life. Such a carefree mentality really makes Shen Li admire him. Shen Li has been bored recently. In the morning, after Xingzhi left, she walked around the yard twice. She felt that it was really boring, so she simply stepped out of the yard to see how the nearby fishermen work on weekdays. She couldn't walk fast now, so when she walked to the nearest fishing village, the people who went out to fish in the morning had already returned.
They each unloaded the fish in the boat outside, but Xingzhi stood on his boat, looking at the boat full of things, rubbing his eyebrows as if he had a headache. Shen Li was a little curious. She walked onto the wooden pier and went to where Xingzhi parked his boat: "Didn't you catch any fish?" Before she finished speaking, Shen Li saw what was on his boat, a boat full of pearl oysters and rare treasures, but none of them were edible.
Shen Li's magic power had not yet recovered, so she couldn't detect the divine aura on Xingzhi's body, but the Dragon King was not a stupid thing. Knowing that the God had cast a net on his sea, how could he miss this good opportunity to give gifts? It must be that Xingzhi caught a fish and was dragged out by the Dragon King, and in exchange for so many things, Shen Li couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xingzhi was still a little unhappy, but when he saw Shen Li laughing, he also curved his eyebrows: "Why are you here?" "I want to see how to catch fish."
Shen Li pointed to his boat without a single fish and said, "But it seems that you didn't go fishing today." Xingzhi nodded: "Yes, I caught these things on purpose today."
This man really doesn't even need to burp when he lies. Shen Li sat down on the pier: "Let me see, there are so many treasures, take a few to sell for money."
Xingzhi shook his head and picked up only a few pearl oysters: "Too many are useless, I will throw them back into the sea in the afternoon."
"Don't!" Shen Li called him, "Let me pick a few first!" She was busy jumping into the fishing boat, Xingzhi came to help her, and at the right time, the fishermen who were walking back and forth were in a hurry. Someone bumped into Shen Li without paying attention, and Shen Li fell straight down and fell into Xingzhi's arms. She was hugged tightly, chest to chest, and could almost feel the other's heartbeat. This hug was as warm and safe as the dream.
