Chapter 489 Hidden Fruit Under the Body-Covering Robe
On the river bank, Li Changxiao put down the fruit and sat down next to Wang Ruyi, bringing a burst of fragrance, lingering around her nose. She had never felt that person so close to her.
It was not a dream, but a real existence.
Li Changxiao also realized something. Wang Ruyi lacked a sense of security, and his own temperament and charm were true and false, and real and empty. It was elusive.
He smiled at Wang Ruyi with some sincerity. Wang Ruyi turned her face away, her eyes were hesitant and helpless, falling on the black iron on her feet, and then on the black robe covering her body.
But she felt inferior again. She knew that her current state was absolutely not "good-looking". The robe covered her hair completely, leaving only the face exposed, but it was also covered with mud.
What a monster.
For some reason, she thought of the white clothes again, so she might as well leave like this, at least she didn't have to see herself like this.
If Li Changxiao knew her thoughts, he would definitely be in tears. The woman's thoughts were hard to guess and understand.
But he didn't know that the more the woman cared, the harder it was to understand. She was worried about gains and losses, and her thoughts changed rapidly.
Li Changxiao could "find a needle in the sea", but if he didn't use the dream path and didn't look into the woman's heart, the needle in the woman's heart would be much harder to find. So how could he know the thousands of twists and turns and the thousands of feelings in Wang Ruyi's heart at this moment?
She didn't look at the latter, and her tears fell again. One was inferiority, and the other was thinking about the current situation. Even if she was rescued, what could she do?
She couldn't trouble others to take care of her for a lifetime. This body-covering robe, black iron handcuffs, and the rope of guilt were not easy to remove.
Thinking more deeply, that person would always be disgusted and leave her one day. When she thought of this, how could she not cry, how could she not be afraid? If she really abandoned herself like this, it would be more painful than killing her directly.
"Why are you crying again?"
Li Changxiao had no choice but to cheat, intercepting the half of the dream, and guessed what Wang Ruyi was thinking.
She was afraid of abandoning herself.
The woman's mind was really turning around, and it was only a few breaths, and she was at the "end of the world". But Li Changxiao was thrown away by a million miles.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you." Li Changxiao smiled and comforted. He sat down beside Wang Ruyi, picked up a small red fruit, and put it next to Wang Ruyi's mouth.
Wang Ruyi was nervous. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Li Changxiao. When she met the encouraging eyes, she gently opened her lips and bit off the small red fruit. The juice burst out from her mouth. It was sweeter than ever before. She hadn't tasted this taste for a long, long time.
The fruit flesh was fragrant, mixed with a bit of sweetness, like the source of life, filling her with some vitality. She was a little shy and wanted to eat a few more.
Li Changxiao agreed with her. This fruit was originally picked for her, so she had to eat all of them. After eating four or five in a row, Wang Ruyi's eyebrows curved slightly and she was in a good mood.
Li Changxiao felt that just eating fruit was too monotonous, so he vowed to teach Wang Ruyi some new ways to eat. Wang Ruyi nodded happily, with a face full of expectation.
This expression was very useful to Li Changxiao. He claimed to be a pioneer of food, and his innovation in food was the only thing he was proud of.
However, he had been doing this for a long time, but he suffered from no companions. Whenever there was a new way of eating, passers-by would look at him strangely and couldn't understand it. He didn't care, but compared with the strange looks, he hoped that someone would follow suit.
So he started the practice in full swing. He first took an iron bowl, scooped water from the river, and then put it on the fire to boil. When the water was boiling, he put in plums and pears one by one, covered the lid, and boiled for four or five minutes, and it was freshly baked.
He named this soup "Lili Tang". He made two servings and one for himself. He drank it while it was hot. It tasted strange.
It was not good, but it was drinkable. Just when he was hesitating whether to give it to Wang Ruyi, he met the expectant eyes, so he fed Wang Ruyi to drink it.
Unexpectedly, he liked it very much. If he could speak, he would definitely not be stingy with praise at this moment. The eyes sparkled, and he wanted to drink another bowl.
Li Changxiao used the remaining fruits to make another bowl. With the experience of the last time, Li Changxiao made some improvements this time, adding salt, vinegar, and half a touch of sugar to the soup for seasoning.
Seeing the figure who was seasoning the food carefully and with great interest, Wang Ruyi's eyes gradually became a little sticky, like the surface of a lake with ripples, shaking people's hearts.
When the man in white brought the soup, she calmed down and drank the soup after being fed by the former.
The taste was obviously very ordinary and a little weird, with multiple shortcomings such as astringent fruit and light water taste. In terms of taste alone, she didn't like it.
But overall, she liked it very much.
"Good... Delicious." Her voice was hoarse, and she tried her best to smile beautifully, but she restrained her smile after a moment. She felt uneasy in her heart, unable to go up or down. How could she look good with such mud on her face.
She was afraid that the man in white would not like it.
"Your vocal cords are damaged, maybe you cry too much."
"But I don't blame you, just cry less in the future."
Li Chang said with a smile.
Wang Ruyi nodded. She cried every day on the road after leaving Dayu City until her voice became hoarse, and then she cried without a sound, covering her tears.
"When your throat is better, you can cry again." Li Changxiao pondered for a moment and added another sentence. After such a big change, it would be bad if she didn't cry thoroughly and left a knot in her heart.
Hearing this, Wang Ruyi's eyes welled up again. She tried her best to restrain herself, but she felt wronged for no reason. It was a grievance that someone was willing to contact and wanted to release desperately.
It took a lot of effort to barely bear it.
After eating and drinking, and putting out the fire, Li Changxiao looked up and down at Wang Ruyi's appearance.
He reached out to touch it. The material of the body-covering robe was not simple. It should be a masterpiece of Tianji Dao. There are two kinds of needles and threads used.
The first kind of needle and thread is called "stone thread". As its name suggests, this thread is produced from a special ore: stone thread ore
Stone thread ore is a kind of stone. This kind of mineral contains a thin thread, which is extremely small and difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye. Only those who have practiced eye skills can see it.
This thread is tougher than black iron and can be drawn out. Ten threads are condensed into one thread, which can be used to sew clothes.
The thread required for this body-covering robe can only be collected with about hundreds of thousands of kilograms of stone thread ore.
This method is indeed unreasonable when used to deal with prisoners, so fewer and fewer people were stripped of their names later.
The second kind of thread is also special. It is called eye thread. This thread can isolate pupil skills and spiritual consciousness to prevent monks from spying.
This body-covering robe is nothing to Li Changxiao, and it is not difficult to break it.
However, there is one thing that must be considered.
Since Wang Ruyi is so important.
Along the way, we need to break the emperor's heart and drown the emperor's body... There are gods of mountains and rivers in Dayu country involved.
Then...
It is hard to guarantee that Ji Beiming will not leave a trick on him.
Li Changxiao vaguely realized that under the body-covering robe on Wang Ruyi's body, there might be a hidden fruit of dream.
If he breaks it open by himself. He will definitely fall into a situation where the enemy knows and we know.
Before Ji Lu was killed, he reported to Ji Beiming that he had killed himself. Li Changxiao took advantage of the situation to enter the dark place and hunted down Ji Nan and Ji Huo by surprise.
If he can continue to hide his body, it will be more beneficial than harmful to the next action.
Therefore, breaking the body-covering robe by force is the worst choice. Those who enter the city to find the secret of heaven, let him help to break it, which is the best choice.
