Chapter 293 Five Sisters' Night Talk
Qi Nongxia and the other four, led by Zhao Linger, went to the Shushan canteen for dinner.
Today's dinner is relatively simple, with vegetable buns, thin porridge, and a little pickled cabbage, that's all. Of course, I didn't forget the specially ordered eggs.
Qi Nongxia and the other four were probably starving after Lin Shen's training. Even Qi Nongxia, Mei Shengxue and Shen Qishuang, who were usually more elegant and concerned about their image, didn't care about their table manners at this time. They grabbed the buns and stuffed them into their mouths like little hungry wolves.
The Shushan disciples who were eating together were all stunned and started whispering to each other.
"What's going on?"
"I don't think he could eat that much at noon. What happened? He starved the child like this."
"Hey, whose disciples are they? I've never seen them before."
"Shh~Keep your voice down, they are Anos's disciples."
When they heard that these five little girls were Lin Shen's disciples, they all shut up.
One is that Lin Shen has done Shushan a favor, and the other is that how Lin Shen trains his disciples is his business, and it is inappropriate to gossip about him behind his back.
After a quick meal, more than half a basin of buns were eaten by Qi Nongxia and the other four. Even Shen Qishuang, who had the smallest appetite, ate five buns and a bowl of porridge.
Taiwu arranged a single room for Qi Nongxia and the other three. The bedroom in the single room had a large bunk bed, allowing all five of them to live in one room.
As soon as Qi Nongxia and the other four returned to the room, they found a screen inside. Behind the screen was a large bathtub. The bathtub was big enough for Qi Nongxia and the other three to take a bath at the same time.
The tub was already filled with water, with a few strands of steam rising from it. There were five towels beside the tub, and five sets of clothes for them to change into on the screen.
Liu Zhuni walked over, checked the water temperature, and said, "Sisters, the water is warm."
Mei Shengxue asked, "Who burned this?"
Qi Nongxia thought for a while and said to herself, "Master, is that you?"
Li Lingyun and the other three were stunned. Shen Qishuang said, "What? Master boiled this hot water!"
"Based on my understanding of Master, it is very likely." Qi Nongxia said.
Before anyone else could say anything, they heard a voice saying, "Hurry up and take a shower! The water will get cold in a little while!"
When Qi Nongxia and the other four heard this, they knew that it was Lin Shen who said this, so they stopped talking and took off their clothes one by one, got into the bathtub, and washed the dirt off their bodies.
After about ten minutes, Qi Nongxia and the other four came out of the water, wiped the water droplets off their bodies with towels, and changed into clothes hanging on the screen.
The five of them wiped their hair with towels. Li Lingyun sighed, "Taking a hot bath after training is really comfortable."
Shen Qishuang said, "Master is really considerate of us. Although he is a man, his thoughts and considerations in daily life are as meticulous as those of women."
Qi Nongxia wiped her hair and said, "I once heard Master say that before he met Sister Ling'er and the others, he lived alone.
I have to take care of myself for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so the life skills I acquired were forced out of me.”
Liu Zhuni said, "Master is so pitiful, living alone and taking care of himself."
"Maybe it was before, but not now. We have Sister Ling'er, Sister Yueru, Sister Wan'er and Sister Anu accompanying the Master, and there are also five of us, all smart and well-behaved disciples." Li Lingyun said.
Mei Shengxue was speechless for a moment and said, "Senior Sister Li, if you have a pole, just climb up."
"Good job, you're still teasing me." Li Lingyun said.
At this time, Shen Qishuang's expression was a little strange. Qi Nongxia noticed it, walked to Shen Qishuang's side, and said, "Junior Sister Shen, what's wrong with you? Your expression is very strange."
Shen Qishuang smiled and shook her head, saying, "Nothing, I just suddenly feel very comfortable."
"Shuxin? Then why don't you see any sign of that on your expression?" Li Lingyun interrupted.
Shen Qishuang smiled, but didn't respond to Li Lingyun's words. She continued to talk to herself, "I am from Shenjiabao. Because I am a girl, my mother and I have often been looked down upon by my father and other people in the fort.
It was...it was Master who brought me out of Shenjiabao, and it was also the interactions with all of you sisters that made me feel warm."
"Shenjiabao, the owner of the baozhai, Shen Qingfeng...who is he to you?" Mei Shengxue asked.
"She...she is my father." Shen Qishuang said ashamedly.
"I didn't expect that, Senior Sister Shen, you are a rich lady." Liu Zhuni said.
Shen Qishuang smiled and shook her head, but her smile was a very sad one, and she said, "I'm not a rich lady at all, because I'm a girl. My mother and I have often been looked down upon by the servants in the castle, and my father and brother also treat me like nothing.
Before I met Master, my mother was the only one who loved me. It was Master who gave me fatherly love and treated me like his own daughter.
"Actually, me too. If my master hadn't helped me, I would probably still be on the streets of Hangzhou, forced by those bad guys to beg for a living." Liu Zhuni said.
Qi Nongxia, Li Lingyun, and Mei Shengxue were stunned when they heard this and asked in unison, "What does this mean?"
"My hometown was destroyed by bad people, and my parents were killed by them. I was coerced by them and forced to beg every day.
The food or money we begged for were all taken away by them. We could only eat some rotten food every day, and they wanted... and wanted..." As she spoke, Liu Zhuni could no longer continue, and tears began to fall down her face.
Mei Shengxue hugged Liu Zhuni, gently stroked her back, and said, "My dear sister, you have suffered. Now it's okay."
Li Lingyun thought of his past and couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Before I met Master, I was also a beggar.
But at least I am better than you in that I am the leader of the beggars in that area and I am not being coerced by others."
Qi Nongxia said the same thing, "Junior Sister Liu, my hometown was also destroyed by bandits. If it weren't for Master, I'm afraid I would have become their plaything or sold into a brothel."
Mei Shengxue said, "The five of us have all had our own hardships. However, thanks to Master, we are able to finally have a happy ending.
I'm a little better off than you guys, right? I met Master because of the plague in my hometown. Master saved my grandmother, but...but..."
Shen Qishuang had a puzzled look on her face, and seemed to have something else to say, but Mei Shengxue's throat seemed to be blocked by something hard, and she couldn't say anything.
Qi Nongxia continued, "It's like this. Junior Sister Mei's parents died young, and she depended on her grandmother for everything. In order to let Junior Sister Mei concentrate on learning martial arts with the master, she...she hanged herself!
Junior Sister Li and I were there at the time. This incident became a pain in Master's heart. He always hated himself for not being able to save Junior Sister Mei's grandmother.
At this time, Mei Shengxue's tears also fell, but she kept holding them back, trying not to cry out loud, but the tears dripped onto Liu Zhuni's clothes.
No one could have imagined that. They had originally planned to have the five girls stay in one room, but that very night they staged a "bitter recall meeting," making the atmosphere in the room even more bitter than bitter melon.
And Lin Shen was actually on the roof of that big bunk bed.
He did not choose to go in and comfort the five girls, but wanted them to pour out their bitterness. That way, maybe they would feel better.
After half an hour, the atmosphere in the room gradually eased.
Qi Nongxia paused for a moment and said, "Four Junior Sisters, I think that's why the five of us should study martial arts with Master diligently, so as to prevent the tragedy that happened to us from happening again."
Li Lingyun and the other three all said "hmm" at the same time, and Qi Nongxia said, "Then let's rest early. We still have to continue training tomorrow."
So the five of them went to bed and Li Lingyun blew out the candle.
Lin Shen, who was on the roof, heard no movement from inside and guessed that the five of them must have gone to bed, so he jumped down from the roof and left with his hands behind his back.
