Rise From the Humble

"Great talent, can you see what I wrote?"

Li Shu's question made Zhu Ping'an a little speechless. How could I see what you wrote with such a (miserable) horse (unable) (unable) (bear) empty (see) circle picture? The only thing I could think of was "Draw a circle and curse you." However, it is impossible for a girl from Ming Dynasty to know this joke.

"You didn't wake up, did you?"

Zhu Ping'an looked at the circles drawn by Li Shu on the ground for two seconds, then raised his head and glanced at Li Shu, whose eyes were a little blurry, and said something.

"You're not sleeping!" Li Shu said angrily, then rolled her eyes, "I can't even understand this, it's really a piece of wood!"

"It's just a bunch of circles..." Zhu Pingan touched his chin.

"What do you mean it's just a bunch of circles?" Li Shu angrily showed her little fangs at Zhu Ping'an, "Obviously I'm stupid and can't understand it!!! I call you a genius, I think you can just call me a piece of wood!"

"Then what do you mean?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, somewhat accustomed to Li Shu's eldest lady's temper.

"I...hum..." Li Shu's cheeks turned slightly red, then she snorted hard and turned her head to ignore Zhu Ping'an, "I won't tell you!"

What a young lady’s temper...

Zhu Pingan twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and then turned his gaze to the sea in the distance. This time, all the books and volumes he carried were lost in the sea. Fortunately, his memory was very good, and those books were already in his mind, so it was not a problem. What a loss. I just don’t know how long I will stay on this island.

After practicing calligraphy for a while, Zhu Pingan stopped. It was now about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to stock up on some dry firewood and food before sunset.

Zhu Ping'an was going to go out alone, leaving Li Shu in the cave looking at the sleeping maid Baozi, but Li Shu didn't want to follow him out because they were in the cave. Zhu Pingan thought for a while and agreed, adding some dry firewood to the fire pit to make the flames more intense, so that even if there were any wild animals in the mountains, they would not dare to enter the cave.

Zhu Ping'an led Li Shu out of the cave and first picked up some slightly damp dry firewood nearby. There was no wet firewood in the fire, so it didn't matter if it was wet. The firewood was tied up with vines. Zhu Ping'an carried a large bundle and Li Shu returned to the cave carrying a small bundle.

The little maid Baozi was still sleeping soundly. Before coming out, Zhu Pingan added some more dry wood to the fire.

If he hadn't narrowly escaped death and been trapped on an isolated island, it would actually be nice to be on this island. It was rich in products, beautiful scenery, and the air on the island was fresh and intoxicating. Zhu Pingan and Li Shu picked a lot of wild fruits at the foot of the mountain, including wild plums, wild strawberries, wild apples, etc. They also found a few fist-sized melons. There were marks on the melons that birds had pecked them, so they were safe to eat.

Zhu Ping'an also caught a few palm-sized crucian carps in a pool of water connected to the stream at the foot of the mountain. He pierced the gills of the fish with branches and carried them back.

Before Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu reached the cave, they heard Baozi's little maid crying uncontrollably from the cave. She felt like she had been abandoned by the whole world. She was sobbing and sobbing. It felt like It's like I can't breathe.

What's going on here?

Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu quickened their pace and entered the cave, and then saw the little maid Baozi with messy hair, runny nose and tears.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The little maid Baozi was overjoyed when she saw Li Shu and Zhu Pingan, and went to hug Li Shu with tears and runny noses. Li Shu looked at the snot and tears on Little Maid Baozi's face with disgust, stretched out her slender hand and flicked Little Maid Baozi's forehead skillfully to stop her.

The little maid Baozi touched her slightly painful forehead as if she had been rewarded. She narrowed her eyes and smiled through her tears.

Well

Who doesn’t want you anymore?

This girl had so many things on her mind. Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and put the things in her hands in the cave.

In the evening, the wind picked up outside, and the howling wind came from outside the cave. Zhu Ping'an and the other three were extremely lucky to have found this cave, otherwise the wind outside tonight would have been enough for the three of them.

The small cave blocked the cool breeze. The three of them sat around the fire pond, each holding a thick willow stick with a crucian carp stuck in the stick. On the loquat leaves next to me, there are also clean wild fruits lying on them.

Among the three, Li Shu has the best craftsmanship.

The crucian carp is always grilled to perfection in her hands, with crispy skin and tender meat. She also creatively squeezes out the juice from wild fruits and applies it to the grilled fish. In this way, the color and taste of the grilled fish are even more attractive. .

Looking at the grilled fish in Li Shu's hand, Zhu Ping'an felt that the grilled fish was a bit black and he couldn't eat it.

"I don't know if it's ripe yet, Zhu Pingan, please try it for me."

Li Shu handed the crispy-skinned, tender and fragrant grilled fish to Zhu Pingan, her cheeks flushed, and she glanced sideways at Zhu Pingan with a pair of watery eyes, acting as if she didn't know whether the grilled fish was done or not.

Just what I wanted.

Zhu Ping'an took the grilled fish without any hesitation, said "Okay," then blew on it and took a bite.

The fish skin is crispy, the fish meat is tender, fragrant but not fishy, ​​and has a long aftertaste.

"It's ready."

Zhu Pingan thought about it for a while, then reluctantly handed the grilled fish back to Li Shu.

"It's all your saliva." Li Shu glanced at it with disgust and shook her head, "It's disgusting. Just eat it all. As long as it's cooked, I'll know how long it's been baked for the next one."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan took the grilled fish back and started to eat it happily.

Next

Li Shuyou followed the same pattern and grilled the largest fish. All parts were grilled well, and more juice was added. It was better and more fragrant than the previous fish. Only one place seemed to be a little blackened by accident. , which is about the size of a fingernail, and then Li Shu disliked it and gave this fish to Zhu Ping'an to eat.

Only then did Li Shu grill the third fish to her satisfaction.

At night, the wind outside became louder, and the three people who had eaten and drank around the fire pond felt that this cave was even more outstanding. After dinner and listening to Zhu Ping'an tell a story, Li Shu and Baozi's little maid simply washed up and went to rest on the thatched bed made of vines.

Because he was not familiar with this island, Zhu Ping'an did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he read silently by the firepit while watching the night.

In addition to the sound of wind outside the cave, there are sometimes sounds of unknown animals, but they don't sound like dangerous animals. Zhu Pingan felt a little relieved. When it was almost midnight, Zhu Pingan added some firewood to the fire pit, narrowed the air vent of the fire pond, and prepared to sleep on the straw bed.

"Zhu Zhupingan, I'm going to change clothes, you. You go with me. Hua'er is asleep and won't wake up no matter how hard she wakes."

At this time, Li Shu got up from their thatched bed, blushed, and came to Zhu Pingan nervously, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

It turned out that Li Shu wanted to go there for convenience, but was afraid that the little maid Baozi fell asleep again and couldn't wake her up. It's dark outside now, the wind is blowing like a ghost, and there are also the sounds of unknown animals from time to time. It's so scary. As for the inside of the cave, how do you ask a girl to get out?

The little maid Baozi couldn't wake up, and Li Shu didn't dare to go outside the cave alone, so she had to call Zhu Ping'an.

"Uh" Zhu Ping'an doubted his ears.

"Is that okay?" Li Shu urged with a blushing face. When Zhu Pingan looked over, she couldn't help but tighten her legs, as if she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Of course." Zhu Pingan looked at Li Shu and nodded.

Soon, the two of them arrived outside the cave. In fact, it was not that far away. They were just a few meters away in front of the cave. Li Shu would not dare to leave any further.

"Just stand there, turn around and close your eyes." Li Shu said coyly.

understand

Zhu Pingan did as he was told.

"You still have to cover your ears." Li Shu added after Zhu Pingan turned around.

"Why?" Even if he turned around, he could understand why he was covering his ears. Zhu Pingan turned his head blankly.

"You will hear it." Li Shu stamped her foot, her face so red that it almost bled.

Well

Well, Zhu Pingan turned around again, closed his eyes, stretched out his hands and covered his ears.

There is a lot of noise and a lot of noise.

A minute later, Li Shu turned around and found that Zhu Pingan was still covering his ears with his back to her. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes. What an idiot! He gently packed his clothes, then held a branch, and dropped the almost invisible small regular script on the circle drawn at noon:

"Circle Ci"

I have no way to send my love, so I draw a circle instead.

The words are outside the circle, but the heart is inside the circle. The single circle is me, the double circle is you. You have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart.

The moon will be full when it is waning, and it will be waning when it is full. A full circle is reunion, and a half circle is separation.

I circle closely, and you must know my intentions secretly. There are countless lovesickness feelings that I circle all the way to the end.
