Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 268 Peace Talisman

Yi Chi didn't know yet that Jiang Yu agreed to accompany the hunting team up the mountain in order to cover up for him, but after hearing about this from Fu Biao, he began to worry.

I wanted to find Jiang Yu, but I was worried that my nagging would be like that of a woman and would annoy her.

Yi Chi walked around the house so much that the ground became thinner due to his footsteps.

Tuanzi didn't understand what he was doing. He kept his eyes open and looked for a while, but found that he couldn't see anything. The more he looked, the more dizzy he became, and finally he fell asleep.

The next day, Yi Chi got up early in the morning and went into the mountains. After coming back, he was in a daze for a long time.

Finally, while it was still dark, he asked Tuanzi to help call Jiangyu out, and the two of them met outside the wall.

This was the first time he took the initiative to come to Jiang Yu. In the past, he would quietly wait for Jiang Yu to go to his place. He was worried that if he took the initiative, he would be exposed and eventually be seen by the people in the team, which might have an impact on Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu sensed the surroundings and confirmed that there was no one around. He looked at him and asked, "What happened?"

"Fu Biao said that you were going up the mountain with the people in the team. I was worried, so I came to see you." After Yi Chi finished speaking, he took out a small wooden sign from his pocket and put it into Jiang Yu's palm.

Jiang Yu picked it up curiously and took a look. She still couldn't understand the words on it, but it was probably a prayer. The texture of the wood was smooth and delicate, and the patterns were clear and elegant. It should be another old item. She looked up at Yi Chi and asked, "What is this?"

"Amulet. My grandmother gave it to me when I was a child." This was something Yi Chi treasured very much. When a large group of people broke into the Yi family, he was scared. The kitchen happened to be not far away, so he went in and stuffed the wooden sign into the ash pile by the stove, thus avoiding the fate of being snatched away by the people in the team.

Jiang Yu subconsciously rubbed the small piece of wood twice, feeling a little sad, "Then why did you give it to me?"

Yi Chi pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Yu again and again. There seemed to be a scorching heat in his eyes, which was getting hotter and hotter. There was a word rolling back and forth on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know whether he should say it out loud.

Jiang Yu looked at him for a long time, and seeing that he was about to burn, he decided to let him go for the time being and stopped forcing him. He interrupted the other party and said, "Then I will keep this treasure for you for the time being, and I will return it to you when I come back."

Yi Chi quickly shook his head, "No need to return it." You don't have to return anything I gave you.

Jiang Yu smiled, her eyes that were usually full of provocation curved into a crescent shape. She stared at Yi Chi for a long time, and finally nodded slightly under his gaze, "Okay, I will definitely keep it well!"

Yi Chi also smiled and nodded vigorously. He looked very soft and seemed easy to bully.

Jiang Yu looked at him for a while, and her hands inexplicably itched. She secretly twisted her fingers, and then when he was completely unprepared, she suddenly reached out and pinched his face, and then said with a very sure look, "Sure enough, the touch of flesh is good."

Yi Chi was stunned, looking at Jiang Yu blankly, and trembled for no apparent reason. The next second, he turned around and ran away.

Jiang Yu looked at his back and smiled with satisfaction.

Tuanzi looked at Yi Chi who was running away, then looked at Jiang Yu, wondering why he ran away in the middle of a conversation. He could only howl and say hello to Jiang Yu, and chased after Yi Chi in the direction he ran.

Jiang Yu climbed over the wall and returned to his room with a satisfied smile on his face.

Xue Li was standing by the firewood pile wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket. When he saw her coming back like this, he subconsciously smiled like an aunt and said silently, "Yi Chi is looking for you?"

She just came over to bring pastries to Jiang Yu, but there was no response when she knocked on the door. She thought she had gone to the bathroom, so she stood there and waited for a while.

Jiang Yu nodded, then opened the door and went into the house with Xue Li, "What do you want?"

"I made something to eat and want to share it with you!" She saw sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the supermarket and remembered how to make it. She spent the entire afternoon tinkering with it out of boredom and just put it in the steamer when she went to eat. Now it's ready to eat.

Jiang Yu waited for her to open the plate covered with cotton cloth to reveal the pastries inside, then asked her curiously what they were.

The white, long, rectangular cake has pine nuts on the outside and smells sweet.

"Pine nut rice cake, try it and see how it tastes." Xue Li was very satisfied with his finished product today. Although the rice cake was not fluffy enough and had a solid texture, it had moderate sweetness and was very suitable as a snack for afternoon tea or late-night chats.

Under the other party's expectant gaze, Jiang Yu took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of rice cake and put it into his mouth.

The sweet rice cake plus the fragrant pine nuts made Jiangyu's eyes light up, "So delicious!"

Xue Li's smile grew even bigger. "These are for your midnight snack. I'll make something else next time."

"Do you need to grind rice flour to make this? I'll help you." Jiang Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and felt that it would be a bit troublesome for Xue Li to do it by himself, so he took over this guy who was doing a very simple task for him.

Xue Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask you to join me next time I do it."

After delivering the snacks, Xue Li became curious about what Yi Chi wanted to talk to her about, so she stared at her with sparkling eyes.

How could Jiang Yu not understand what she meant? He had no choice but to pour her a glass of water and the two of them sat down to talk.

"Fu Biao went fishing with him in the afternoon, and then I told him that I was going up the mountain with the villagers. He was worried, so he came down to find me." Jiang Yu also took a sip of water and temporarily put the sign in his hand on the table.

Xue Li leaned over to take a look, sighed in surprise, and then nodded his chin, "Did he give this to you too?"

Jiang Yu nodded, and his eyes involuntarily fell on the amulet.

"As expected of a great landlord, this little sign is also worth a lot of money." Precious red sandalwood, exquisite carving techniques, it would cost a lot of money to buy it in the future. Xue Li smacked his lips, and at the same time, his recognition of Yi Chi also increased a lot.

As for men, how much they like a woman can be seen from how much they are willing to give. Although it is not absolute, if he is willing to give something he values ​​very much, isn't that enough to show his inner feelings?

Jiang Yu touched the slippery piece of wood and thought of the piece of wood that Yi Chi gave him last time. He suddenly felt that if his skills were good enough, he could also make a pendant for Yi Chi as a return gift?

Although the thing itself belongs to Yi Chi, the craftsmanship belongs to Jiang Yu!

"Is this expensive?" But Jiang Yu was still curious.

"The wood is very valuable. If you look at the carving, it is probably the work of a master. For something like this, the value of the material and the craftsmanship combined can be multiplied several times." Xue Li probably understood why the custom-made jewelry in his previous life was so expensive. In addition to the value of the gemstone itself, the designer's design fee must also be added.
