MTL - The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over-Chapter 5
You become immortal, I will not stay in the world for you (5)
It's good to accept it, and Chao Ci has no conditions to be picky, so he happily agreed.
He is ready to endure hardship, but a young master who has never endured hardship and has been pampered for 18 years, no matter how much mental preparation he is made, he will suddenly be forced to do the rough work of the lowest-level people. It's so hard to do chores.
Although he has learned some superficial cooking skills in order to make a living these days, he is only barely able to enter, far below the standard of a restaurant chef. The restaurant asked him to carry water, wash dishes and burn wood. Chao Ci knew for the first time that two buckets filled with water could be so heavy on a load. After jumping three times, he was strangled with blood on his shoulders. Chao Ci didn't know it and didn't have time to check it. He just turned his head in a muffled voice and went to pick up the next load.
The shoulders hurt so badly, the burden sank deep into the flesh. His legs were shaking, and his feet hurt.
Part of the water I picked up was used to wash dishes for myself. There were hundreds of bowls in the wash basin. It was early winter, and in the north, there was often light snow.
The moment he reached into the water, he felt a biting cold, and after washing for an hour, his hands turned red, as if he had lost consciousness.
After a day's work, he had to transport the swill outside to dump it, pulling the heavy swill cart, and his legs and feet, which were so painful when he fetched water in the morning, screamed again.
Halfway through the journey, it seemed that my footsteps were slipping.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the car hard, his eyes gradually turning red.
In the restaurant, he didn't dare to cry when the pain was so piercing, for fear that the stewards would dislike him and lose this hard-won job. But now there is no one around, looking at the surroundings that are completely dark, his eyes seem to be a little out of control.
Tears were falling down, choking uncontrollably.
But he still told himself in his heart that there was nothing to cry about.
In troubled times, the most worthless things are tears and weakness. He lost his father and elder brother, and now all he can do is save himself and Ayao.
After a day's work, Chao Ci returned to his and Jin Yao's residence.
It's a fairly neat brick house. No matter how difficult the court speech was, he still remembered that the doctor told him that Jin Yao could not stand the cold, so he gritted his teeth and rented this room.
When entering the door, Jin Yao was still lying on the bed. He was indeed very sick, and it was difficult for him to get up these days.
"You're back." Jin Yao sat up with difficulty when he heard the door being pushed open.
Chao Ci hurried to help him, and asked with concern, "How is Ayao feeling today?"
While he was asking, he turned his head to see the porridge and side dishes on the table beside the bed, which showed no signs of being moved.
This is the food that Chaoci prepared for Jin Yao when he went out in the morning.
Chao Ci frowned worriedly: "Why don't you eat, how can you make it happen?"
"I don't have much appetite." Jin Yao said.
He wasn't pretending to be sick, but his body was really exhausted. Eating food tasted the same as chewing wax, and he was also nauseated.
Jin Yao himself has been fasting for thousands of years, and it is already reluctant to eat some food in the mortal world. Now that his body is deteriorating, he finds these foods difficult to swallow.
He didn't want to entangle more on this topic, so he moved the topic to Chao Ci: "How are you today?"
"It's good." Chao Ci smiled, "I have a sweet mouth. The lady boss and the stewards take good care of me, and they give me some easy jobs. We can be regarded as having success in the future."
Jin Yao looked at him carefully, the boy's hands were red and bruised, and his eyes were a little red and swollen.
There must be a lot of injuries to other parts of the body.
He pursed his lips, his heart tightening.
After so much suffering, he didn't say a word when he came back. Do you think it can be used to decorate peace...
Chao Ci didn't talk too much about this, and said to Jin Yao with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "It's time to eat, I'll go make it for A Yao, and fry today's medicine. After the meal, I drink the medicine, I took Ayao out of bed for a walk, and the doctor said that staying in bed all the time is not good for recuperation."
Jin Yao nodded and responded.
Chao Ci went to cook for him, and after two sticks of incense, he came back with the food.
He put the food on the table, helped Jin Yao get out of bed and sat at the table.
He found another coat to put on Jin Yao.
Then he sat in front of Jin Yao, and seeing that Jin Yao kept staring at him, he asked, "What is Ayao looking at me for? Eat quickly, don't be hungry."
However, Jin Yao suddenly reached out and wiped his cheek with his fingers.
Chao Ci stupidly touched his face and said, "What, what's wrong?"
"There is ash." Jin Yao said.
Chao Ci scratched his head: "I didn't notice it just now, I accidentally rubbed it on it."
He only learned to cook in the past few days. For him, the most difficult thing in learning to cook is to make a fire. When he first learned it, he was almost crying because of the firewood, but now he can barely understand it, but it takes effort, and it's normal to get some ashes.
Jin Yao's expression was a little complicated.
In the past, children didn't wear fancy clothes or gourmet food, and there were a lot of servants around, and no one would make him feel bad.
...
After working for a while, Chao Ci found that the money was still not enough to make ends meet. Although the medicine Jin Yao needs is not expensive, it is not cheap, not to mention that it cannot be cut off in one day.
He thought that although he was not very talented, at least he knew the characters and his writing was not ugly, so he went to several bookstores and accepted some copies of the list.
After he went back to take good care of Jin Yao every day, he turned on the lamp in the middle of the night and copied it, and fell asleep halfway through when he was ugly.
In the morning, he got up at a quarter of an hour, and after hurriedly cooked food for Jin Yao, he went to the restaurant.
At night, Jin Yao was lying on the bed. There was a dim light flickering by the bed.
He knew that this was a dynasty speech copied at the desk.
He didn't understand why the young man could do this for him.
For more than a year, he seldom even gave the boy a good face.
He got up and opened the curtain, and looked at the boy without saying a word.
Chaoci raised his head, saw Jin Yao looking at him like this, and hurriedly said: "Ayao, go to sleep, sleep late is not good for your body."
"You also know that it is not good for the body." Jin Yao said.
Chao Ci was stunned.
Jin Yao looked at the young man, his eyes were black and blue, especially prominent on Bai Nen's face, and there were even a lot of bloodshot eyes in his eyes. He knew that this was because the boy slept too little, and his body was on the verge of being overwhelmed.
As the cold winter approached, the boy's hands became more red and swollen, and now he couldn't hold the pen.
When the young man was changing clothes, he had seen it, his shoulders were full of black marks and bloodstains.
"Chao Ci." Jin Yao lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Leave me alone."
Chao Ci didn't need to do so much for him.
Without him, even if Chao Ci's family was destroyed, he would not need to work so hard to support himself alone.
He hadn't thought about it before. Although he didn't understand why Chaoci treated him so well, he always had to stay by Chaoci's side if he wanted to survive the calamity. If Chao Ci did not leave him, he would have no reason to leave.
Can…
He never thought that he would feel compassion for a mortal.
But when Chao Ci heard the words, his face changed: "Ayao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"You are my wife, and it is only right and natural for me to take care of you... I can't say that again in the future." His tone was quite serious. This was the first time he had spoken to Jin Yao with such an attitude.
As he spoke, he felt that what he said was too heavy, and he stepped forward to help Jin Yao lie down and comforted: "I know that you are doing it for my own good, and I am afraid that I will endure hardship. But with Ayao by my side, I am happy to endure hardship. You are not by my side, you may even endure hardship in a place I don't know, I will not be happy even if I live the life of a young master like before."
Jin Yao looked at him solemnly and said nothing.
Chao Ci rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "If Ayao really wants to make up for me, just give me a kiss, okay?"
Ashamed to say, he and Jin Yao have been married for more than a year, but they haven't even kissed. This time he casually suggested that he didn't intend to really succeed.
Jin Yao nodded.
Chao Ci's eyes lit up: "Then I kiss? You are not allowed to go back on it!"
For fear that Jin Yao would go back on his words, he gave him a kiss, and then went back to the table happily as if he had taken a huge advantage.
"Ayao, go to sleep soon!" he urged, his voice full of joy.
Fool.
Jin Yao murmured in his heart.
...
It's been a few months.
No matter how difficult the day was, Chao Ci still gritted his teeth and persevered.
When they came to Dayue, it was because Dayue had no wars. But in a world of great chaos, it may be difficult to find peace in one corner, and Da Yue still fought a battle.
Not only that, but a great drought and plague followed.
Chao Ci wanted to leave, but when he looked up to the north, it was difficult to find a place to live.
He can only guard this town in Da Yue.
The days are getting sadder and more turbulent day by day, and the court speech is still barely maintaining.
He thought that even if he wanted to die, he would have to be in front of Ayao.
One day, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and the sound was so loud that Chao Ci was startled in the house, and the ground was shaking.
Chao Ci was about to go out to take a look, but Jin Yao, who was lying on the bed, looked at Yi Ling, and he suddenly looked out the window.
Although all the divine power in his body was sealed, he could still feel a strong demonic energy.
A monster is born!
The demon realm is completely broken!
His face changed, and he untied all the divine powers that had been sealed.
The whole house was suddenly flooded by a gust of wind, which gathered behind Chao Ci and exited.
Thousands of miles in radius, the grass is roaring in the wind!
Chao Ci turned back, but saw someone standing behind him.
Very familiar, very unfamiliar.
