LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 456 You've grown taller
Yaoguang City.
In the backyard of a small shop hidden in the streets.
A tall, fair-skinned, pretty girl hung a bamboo basket on her arm, and from time to time reached out to grab the corn kernels in it and threw them around.
A large group of chickens and ducks happily scrambled for food around her.
She was wearing a dark black suit, and the logo of [Changshengtang] was particularly eye-catching.
It was obviously an ordinary work suit, and even because of the nature of the work, it was a little gloomy. But on Gu Jia, it was extremely youthful and bright, and compared with those popular girl group members, she would not be inferior in appearance.
Her hair had grown to her waist, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on her shoulders with strands of black hair, just like a person walking out of the painting.
The only flaw was that Gu Jia's sweet and moving face was always shrouded in a layer of indifference that kept people away from her, so that strangers did not dare to approach at will.
"Senior sister."
Er Gouzi has grown taller, almost two heads taller than Gu Jia, and looks tall and strong.
His facial lines are more distinct, his features are three-dimensional, and his shyness and immaturity have long gone. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on his broad shoulders, adding a bit of maturity to him.
He took the bamboo basket from his senior sister and followed her example, feeding the small animals. "Are you sure you will come back today?"
Gu Jia nodded, "The officer training camp contacted me yesterday. According to the time, Gou Shengzi should be almost in Yaoguang City."
"I'll go see Master first, and I'll come down to cook in a while."
"Be careful not to feed the big white goose anymore. It's very good at pretending to be pitiful, but in fact it eats more than anyone else."
"It can't digest if it eats too much."
Looking at the back of his senior sister leaving, Er Gouzi took a breath silently, wanting to say something, but couldn't say a word.
After the battle of the demon tide three years ago, the master completely stopped breathing, had no heartbeat, and had no vital signs to prove his survival.
But the senior sister still insisted that the master had just entered a state of suspended animation and took him back to Changsheng Hall.
Since then, the senior sister has taken care of all the housework at home and only let Er Gouzi do the simplest things.
Since then, Er Gouzi has never seen a smile on the face of the senior sister again, even once.
The senior sister at that time loved to laugh.
The golden sunlight was so warm, but it looked particularly sad and lonely on the back of the senior sister.
Er Gouzi gently pushed away the big white goose that leaned over to steal food, and felt very uncomfortable.
Gu Jia pushed open the master's room.
Lu Changsheng lay quietly on the bed, the sunlight sprinkled on his body through the glass, and a halo appeared.
He seemed to be asleep, lying like this for three years, but his appearance did not change at all.
The moment the dust in the air approaches Lu Changsheng, it will be bounced away by an invisible force, just like an invisible big hand protecting Lu Changsheng, preventing the outside world from affecting his long sleep.
Gu Jia comes to talk to her master every day and tells him what has happened recently.
Sometimes there is really nothing to say, so she will sit quietly by her master's bed and stare blankly for most of the day.
For others, the master has only been gone for three years, but for Gu Jia, the last time she talked to her master was hundreds of years ago.
During these three years, she would enter the sky every night to practice, almost to the point of madness.
If all the power in the world cannot save the master, only the power of the gods can do it.
Gu Jia will not sit at home and wait for the gods to give her alms.
She wants to become a god herself and save her master.
"Master, Goushengzi will be back today. He is very capable. It took him only two years to graduate from the officer training camp, which is one year earlier than originally planned."
"After the demon tide, more than half of the venerables of the Demon Slayer Division were killed. As a newly promoted venerable, Goushengzi will definitely be reused."
"Master, you have to work hard. If you don't wake up, Goushengzi might become the chief of the Demon Slayer Division when you come back."
"The price of spare ribs has increased today, but because the vegetable seller likes me very much, she still sells it to me at the original price. The aunt is a good person."
"By the way, Ergouzi sold a set of [Bloom, Senior] meal yesterday. This is the first order in the history of our Changsheng Hall."
"It is said that the customer is a well-known Internet celebrity who wants to use this meal as a gimmick to attract attention and create a live broadcast effect. I don't understand these things. If you are still here, you will definitely understand, right?"
Tick-tock.
Tick-tock.
Two drops of crystal water fell on the back of Gu Jia's hand, splashing two small water drops.
"Master, your nails have grown longer again. Wait for me for a moment. I'll go get the nail clippers." Gu Jia raised her hand calmly and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm telling you, Master..." Gu Jia grabbed Lu Changsheng's fingers, put her head close to him, and said a few words while trimming his nails.
"Er Gouzi really doesn't know how to tell jokes. He tells me some completely incomprehensible jokes every day to make me laugh."
"I want to give him some face, but his jokes are really bad. I really can't laugh."
"By the way, Master, do you want to watch cartoons? We haven't watched cartoons for a long time. Gou Shengzi is back tonight, so we can spend Family Day together again."
"After cooking, I'll go buy some snacks and then we'll..."
Gu Jia stopped talking suddenly.
Her lips, which had not yet closed, began to tremble violently. Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes, wetting her clothes.
For three years, Master's palms had always been cold, but just now...
they actually had a little temperature.
Gu Jia was like being immobilized. She watched the big hand slowly rise, press it on her head, and rub it gently.
"Jia'er, you've grown taller."
Lu Changsheng had not yet adapted to his body, and his voice was unusually hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Gu Jia threw herself on Master's body. She wanted to say something.
She wanted to tell Master that she missed him very much.
She wanted to tell her master that she had been waiting for more than a hundred years.
She wanted to tell her master that she had been waiting for this moment every day.
But thousands of words came to her lips, but she couldn't utter a word.
Gu Jia just used up all her strength and burst into tears.
Her trembling hands tightly grasped Lu Changsheng's collar.
For a long time...
She was unwilling to let go.
