MTL - The System Wants Me To Attack the Female Protagonist of Abuse-Chapter 81 eighty-one tripod
◎He is a good guy◎
When Li Zhi heard his voice, she paused in the act of smearing the grass and tree ash. She thought he was going to help her paint it, so she quickly waved her hand: "I can…"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, and his fingers with clear knuckles brushed lightly across her palm.
Where the fingertips passed, the scars disappeared, leaving only a trace of blood, as if to prove that there was a wound on the palm of the hand.
Li Zhi stared blankly at her hand. After a long time, she looked up at him: "Big brother, what are you doing?"
This was the first time she took the initiative to ask about him.
Pei Ming didn't speak, he lowered his eyes and looked at her hand slightly absent-minded.
She called him big brother, and Song Dingding liked to call him that way before.
For some reason, he could always easily capture Song Dingding's shadow on her.
He always thought that he had long forgotten everything about her, but he didn't expect the memory to be brought back so easily.
Pei Ming released Li Zhi's hand and healed the wound on her other hand: "What do you think?"
His tone was indifferent, obviously trying to perfunctory her, but Li Zhi looked at him and said, "I don't know, but you should be a good person."
As soon as he tilted his head, he met her bright eyes, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Pei Ming lowered his head and chuckled: "Good man?"
His smile was slightly sarcastic and slightly cold.
Li Zhi nodded.
In her logic, he would help her heal her wounds, and he must be a medical practitioner.
Medical practitioners are all about saving the dead and helping the wounded, and those who hang pots to help the world are naturally good people.
If he followed this logic, then he was covered in blood that day, probably because he was saving people, he was seriously injured.
And the soul sister who helped him is the one he once rescued and turned into a ghost after death, and she must also guard him in return for saving her life.
So far, a perfect logical closed loop has been formed.
How could Pei Ming guess the thoughts of a little girl less than eight years old.
Xu was because her expression was too serious, he turned slightly sideways, avoiding her gaze a little uncomfortably.
Even if she said so, he would not let her go.
Thinking like this, Pei Ming let go of her hand, and his eyes fell on the big yellow dog that was dozing again.
As soon as the wound on Li Zhi's hand healed, she became even more comfortable with needlework, but in one afternoon, she took two days' worth of shoe soles.
In the evening, she was about to go to the barn under the firewood house, but there was a call from outside the yard: "Zhizhi, open the door."
The big yellow dog barked so badly that Li Zhi heard that the man was the son of Aunt Liu next door, wiped the water off his hands, and prepared to go to the yard to open the door for him first.
She took two steps forward, only to remember that Pei Ming was still sitting outside, and hurriedly handed him a crutch, and half-assisted him into the room.
After Pei Ming was settled, Li Zhi trotted to the gate of the yard and took down the wooden latch that bolted the door.
Aunt Liu's son, Li Tan, was born with the appearance of a scholar, with a frail temperament, wearing a blue robe, and having a dignified appearance.
It's just that he has a hidden illness, and his family is poor.
Aunt Liu felt that Li Zhi was good-looking, well-connected, and a sensible woman, so she wanted Li Zhi to be her daughter-in-law.
But now Li Zhi is still young, and she has to wait five or six years before she comes to ask for marriage.
Li Tan stood outside the door with a packet of cloud cakes in his hand. Seeing her open the door, he smiled warmly: "Your brother was detained by his master again. This is what he asked me to bring to you."
When Li Zhi heard that Li Hua asked him to bring something, he hurriedly took it and said politely, "Brother Tan, come in and drink a glass of water."
Li Tan nodded and walked into the courtyard.
He didn't go home often, but every time he came back, he would come to see Li Zhi.
Li Tan is also clear about Aunt Liu treating her as a child bride.
He felt awkward, but he also knew that his family was too poor and he had hidden illnesses. It was not easy to marry a daughter-in-law.
After struggling for a while, he still acquiesced in this matter.
Aunt Liu said that feelings should be cultivated from a young age, so that when she grows up, she will be devoted to him.
Li Tan looked at Li Zhi who was busy and thought for a while: "Zhizhi, it's not fashionable to call me brother in the city, so I will call Tan Lang later."
'Lang' is a kind of appellation between men, and it means a gentleman and a lover, but Li Zhi is too young to understand this.
She didn't understand, but Pei Ming, who was sitting in Li Zhi's house, understood.
Holding his cane, he walked to the window, and through an inch-long gap, his eyes fell on Li Tan.
His face was white, his eyes were blue, his face was thin, and he looked like a short-lived ghost.
Pei Ming narrowed his black eyes, and his slender fingers tapped on the window lattice.
Love is what you call it.
Even if Li Tan has bad intentions, what does it have to do with him?
He was not related to Li Zhi, so he guarded her just for fear that she would be taken away by Tianjun's people.
Thinking like this, Pei Ming retracted his gaze and sat back on the small bench inside the door, waiting for Li Tan to leave.
Li Zhi made Li Tan a cup of tea. The tea was bought in the city yesterday because he remembered that Pei Ming said he wanted to drink tea.
She bought the cheapest kind of tea, which was the old tea left over from last year, and the taste was slightly bitter after brewing it with hot water.
Although Li Tan is poor, he does not forget to pay attention to poverty.
He saw that people in the city like to cook tea to cultivate their hearts, so he asked Aunt Liu to save money and buy a set of tea sets and tea leaves for him.
He doesn't like drinking tea, so he likes to use a tea set to pretend in front of other people.
At this time, seeing that Li Zhi's house also had tea leaves, his vanity was playing tricks, and he couldn't help but say, "Tea is not brewed like this."
Li Zhi knew that Aunt Liu had tea at home, so he thought that Li Tan liked tea, so he took out the tea bought for Pei Ming and entertained him.
How can she know how to make tea, Li Hua doesn't like drinking tea, she usually drinks plain water directly.
But after all, when Li Tan spoke, she couldn't help but give him face, so she followed him and asked, "Then how to soak?"
As soon as Li Tan heard her question, his vanity was instantly satisfied, and he immediately started talking about the tea ceremony.
What he said was high in nature, and Li Zhi was confused when he heard it, and he nodded in agreement at any time.
After all, Aunt Liu took care of her on weekdays, so naturally she could only be patient with Li Tan, and it was hard to say anything else.
It's just that she was a little hungry, and she seemed a little absent-minded thinking about the steamed buns and eggs in the firewood pot.
Li Tan said that he still felt unhappy, and held the teacup to demonstrate to her. He handed the cup to her hand and motioned her to hold the teacup.
He was about to reach out to hold her hand and teach her how to make tea when the big yellow dog on the iron chain in the yard suddenly barked and rushed towards him.
All this happened so suddenly, Li Tan didn't even react, and the big yellow dog bit his leg.
Its teeth are sharp and sharp, and its mouth is merciless, but it directly pierces the sharp canine teeth into his calf.
Li Tanao's scream resounded through the sky.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed the half-broken chain, and dragged the big yellow dog back to the kennel to tie it up.
"The dog's chain broke for some reason..." She was a little flustered, and hurriedly stepped forward to check his injury: "Brother Tan, are you alright?"
Li Tan pushed her away, his facial features were twisted in pain, and he didn't care to talk to her anymore. He limped out of the yard, wishing to hide the dog far away.
Li Zhi wanted to catch up, but heard the door of the house behind him being pushed open with a creak, and Pei Ming walked out with a cane: "Lock the door."
She was stunned: "But..."
He asked lightly, "Or, do you want me to accompany you?"
Li Zhi stopped.
Even if he is a good person, a man appeared out of nowhere in her house, how should she explain to Aunt Liu and Li Tan?
She lowered her head and said, "Aunt Liu will be angry."
Aunt Liu took Li Tan as his lifeblood, so he ran back like this, and he was bitten by a dog and bleeding on his leg. Aunt Liu would definitely come to her after a while.
Pei Ming sat in the yard as if he didn't hear it: "To cook."
Li Zhi rubbed his stomach, feeling really hungry, so he turned around and entered the woodshed.
She expected it to be good, but after a cup of tea, Aunt Liu found it.
Aunt Liu didn't want to embarrass Li Zhi. After all, Li Zhi didn't want to do such a thing. To blame it was the dog in the yard that bit Li Tan.
She had to deal with such a vicious dog.
Otherwise, next time Li Tan comes to Li Zhi's house, maybe that vicious dog will attack Li Tan.
Aunt Liu called out to Li Zhi from outside the yard, but Pei Ming had already set up a barrier at the door of the firewood room, and Li Zhi couldn't hear anything in the firewood room.
He walked to the gate of the courtyard on crutches and let down the latch.
When Aunt Liu saw Pei Ming, she was stunned for a moment, and then she frowned: "Who are you, and why are you at Li Zhi's house?"
Pei Ming was too lazy to talk to her. He raised his eyes and glanced at Li Tan behind Aunt Liu, and said coldly, "Do you understand the tea ceremony?"
He learned the tea ceremony since he was a child, and it was the first time he heard that Longjing and Biluochun are white teas, and that the longer the tea leaves are stored, the more mellow the taste will be.
It was a gift to Li Tan just to break the chain of the dog with a flick of his finger, instead of doing it himself.
Li Tan felt a little inexplicable, stared at him and said, "You are not from the Sword Sect, who are you?"
Pei Ming met his gaze, and his eyes sank slightly: "Forget all this, and you can't step into this courtyard door for half a step in the future."
The voice fell, and a flash of light oozes from Li Tan's eyebrows. This is the contract of the Immortal Mansion.
A contract with a mortal does not require the consent of the other party at all.
He erased the memory of Aunt Liu and Li Tan being bitten by a dog. After forming a contract, as long as Li Tan gets closer to Li Zhi's yard, he will suffer the pain of ten thousand insects.
Pei Ming closed the courtyard door with a bang, his eyes slightly cold.
He told himself that erasing his memory was because he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, not because he was afraid that Li Zhi would be embarrassed by Aunt Liu.
As for the contract, it was purely because he didn't want to see Li Tan appear in his line of sight again, talking nonsense about the 'tea ceremony'.
It has nothing to do with Li Tan's bad intentions towards Li Zhi.
Pei Ming waved his hand to remove the barrier and sat in the yard, as if he had never seen Aunt Liu and Li Tan before.
When Li Zhi came out with a bowl of noodles, he put it on the wooden table in the yard, took out the cloud cake that Li Tan brought, and handed it to Pei Ming: "Try it."
He looked at the square object wrapped in glutinous rice paper: "Cloud cake?"
She nodded, squeezed a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth, then she didn't touch the cloud cake again, and took a small bite of the noodles.
Pei Ming didn't eat cloud cake.
He just looked at the snowflake-like pastries, which were as white as congealed fat, and pursed his lips: "I won't eat them."
Li Zhi bit off the noodles in his mouth and looked up at him: "Big brother, do you think cloud cakes are too sweet?"
Pei Ming did not speak.
He is addicted to sweets and has been fond of sweets since he was a child.
But since Song Dingding left without saying goodbye on the island, he broke through the secrets of Tianjun and the dragon princess and was locked in the cellar, and he has never eaten sweets again.
He glanced at the snow-white cloud cake wrapped in glutinous rice paper, and his drooping eyelashes trembled: "Sweet?"
Li Zhi nodded: "Toothache is so sweet."
Pei Ming raised his hand and twisted a piece of cloud cake.
So, because it was so sweet that his teeth hurt, Song Dingding didn't like to eat cloud cakes?
He was slightly lost, as if remembering something, looked at her and asked, "Who do you want to marry when you grow up?"
He patronized and drove Li Tan away, but he didn't ask her if she liked Li Tan.
However, Pei Ming felt that she was still a girl and should not understand these complicated and trivial feelings.
This was just a casual question, but Li Zhi thought about it seriously.
After a long time, she turned her head and looked at him and said, "I want to marry brother Rong from the pork shop in the city."
"Pork shop..." He raised his eyebrows, looked slightly hesitant, and said slowly, "Brother Rong?"
