The wind is howling.

The rainy season is coming.

The light rain kept falling, Jiang Qing hid under the eaves, looking at the figure kneeling in the mud halfway up the hill.

She sighed softly.

Yang Yuncheng's paranoia and self-blame are beyond Jiang Qing's imagination.

Yang's mother's death was too big a blow to Yang Yuncheng.

Although he will not be slumped from then on, in the next period of time, Yang Yuncheng's heartache can only be overcome by himself.

Jiang Qing accompanied Yang Yuncheng to guard this dilapidated old house for seven days.

In just seven days, Yang Yuncheng lost a lot of weight. Although Jiang Qing wavered from his thoughts, he wanted to pursue the whereabouts of the fragments of the Philosopher's Stone alone. But when she saw Yang Yuncheng's decadent appearance, Jiang Qing couldn't turn a blind eye.

Perhaps, this is a difficulty in Yang Yuncheng's life.

When he needed company the most, he abandoned him, Jiang Qing also hoped that Yang Yuncheng could help him find the fragments, only asking for it and not paying, this is not her style.

Day 8.

As the sun rose in the east, the first rays of sunlight poured through the thick clouds and onto the dilapidated hut.

Jiang Qing pushed open the door and found that Yang Yuncheng had already stood up, with his back to her, facing the rising sun.

His figure was somewhat thin, and he looked particularly thin in the wind. Jiang Qing grabbed a coat next to her casually and draped it over Yang Yuncheng's body.

Yang Yuncheng turned around and glanced at Jiang Qing, with a relieved smile on his face, and his voice was like a warm sunshine, "Jiang Qing, thank you for always being by my side these days." ”

"Everyone will have a bad time, as long as you get through it, it's fine. Jiang Qing's gaze looked into the distance, patrolled all over the mountains and fields, and said softly, "If Auntie sees you like this now, she will be heartbroken." ”

"My mother ......" Yang Yuncheng bit his lip, and there was deep self-blame in his eyes, "Jiang Qing, do you think I'm very unfilial." My mother has worked hard for so many years, and in the end, I didn't even help her achieve her wish to go home......

"Yang Yuncheng, you must know that some things are unpredictable. Jiang Qing took a breath, "And Auntie doesn't tell you about her physical condition, she probably doesn't want you to worry." But no matter how old you are, in her heart, you will always be a child. She wants you to be brave, and even if she is gone, you can live well, because you are a continuation of her life. ”

"Jiang Qing, thank you. Yang Yuncheng looked at Jiang Qingxue's bright eyes and said seriously.

Jiang Qing patted him on the shoulder, trying to make the atmosphere less solemn, and said, "If you really want to thank me, help me find the jade fragment I want, and I will also be grateful to you." ”

"I will. Yang Yuncheng nodded solemnly.

Rushing back to Jingnan from Diancheng, most of the day's scene passed at once.

Jiang Qing returned home with Yang Yuncheng, and as soon as she returned to her room, Jiang Qing had just laid down, and the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the delicate box on the bedside table.

This is the necklace given to her by Yang's mother.

Jiang Qing kept putting the necklace on the bedside table, and she was worried that Yang's mother would know the truth, so she didn't return it to Yang Yuncheng.

Now is the time.

Jiang Qing knocked on Yang Yuncheng's room door.

"Squeak!"

Yang Yuncheng saw the box in Jiang Qing's hand and asked unconsciously, "What is this?"

Jiang Qing stuffed it into Yang Yuncheng's hand and said, "This is the necklace that your mother gave to your daughter-in-law, and now it is returned to its original owner." ”

Yang Yuncheng subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you like it?" asked Yang Yuncheng.

Jiang Qing looked at him in astonishment: "It's about whether I like it or not, this is for your future wife, and I'm not." ”

"Oh. Yang Yuncheng responded happily.

In front of Jiang Qing, he began to unpack the box.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Jiang Qing didn't understand what Yang Yuncheng meant.

Yang Yuncheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm curious about what the necklace my mother bought looks like, so I want to take it apart and take a look, it should be fine, right?"

Jiang Qing thought carefully and nodded: "This is your freedom." ”

Yang Yuncheng snorted: "You don't even look at it, it will break my mother's heart." ”

Jiang Qing: "......"

She thought about it, but if she accidentally liked it and took it for herself, or was reluctant to return it to Yang Yuncheng, wouldn't it embarrass herself?

Just like the emerald bracelet she was wearing on her hand, Jiang Qing also knew that she should return it to Yang Yuncheng, after all, it was given to Yang Yuncheng by Chu Jian and Mei Duo, but Jiang Qing still wanted to wear it for a few more days.

When Yang Yuncheng opened the box, Jiang Qing saw the jade necklace in the box at a glance.

The jade pendant......

Jiang Qing's eyes widened.

"It looks good, what do you think?" Yang Yuncheng grabbed the necklace, and the jade pendant shook gently.

Jiang Qing suddenly made a move that Yang Yuncheng didn't expect.

She reached out and grabbed the necklace, rubbing it gently in her palm, as if she had found some rare treasure.

Yang Yuncheng's reaction to Jiang Qing was a little unexpected, and then he smiled angrily: "Look at you in a hurry, duplicity." ”

Jiang Qing hurriedly took off the pendant.

The pendant was wrapped in a circle of polished snowflake silver, Jiang Qing looked carefully, her cheeks flushed with excitement, patted Yang Yuncheng's shoulder, and said very happily: "Yang Yuncheng, this, this is the jade fragment I have been asking you to find!"

"What?" Yang Yuncheng was a little stunned by Jiang Qing's sudden words.

This is the jade fragment that Jiang Qing was looking for?

There really is such a coincidence in the world!

Jiang Qing took the pendant, threw the chain back to Yang Yuncheng, and said, "This pendant belongs to me, Yang Yuncheng, you are really my lucky star, hahaha!"

Yang Yuncheng saw Jiang Qing's smug appearance and didn't know why she was so excited.

But as long as Jiang Qing is happy, it's okay.

It's hard for her to be by her side these days, Yang Yuncheng is still vigorously looking for the whereabouts of the jade fragments, because there is no news, so he didn't dare to tell Jiang Qing.

As for now, it can only be said that happiness came too suddenly.

Jiang Qing didn't say anything, and went straight back to her bedroom. Yang Yuncheng didn't know what Jiang Qing was doing, but he didn't ask.

He should know, Jiang Qing will naturally say what he wants to say.

If she didn't say it, Yang Yuncheng wouldn't talk much.

Back in the room, Jiang Qing was trying to use her magic. But the thought of that humanoid monster made her heart feel like someone had poured cold water on her.

She took a quiet breath and put away the shard of the Philosopher's Stone.

The seventh.

There are only the last two left, and you can collect all the Philosopher's Stones.

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Qing couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.

It's been so long, and it's finally going to come out.

The remaining two maps still have no clues. Jiang Qing is not looking for a needle in a haystack, instead of asking for answers on the Internet so aimlessly, it is better to let Yang Yuncheng help.

But what kind of wording should she find?

In order to find a word, Jiang Qing didn't sleep peacefully this night, although she finally thought of a very far-fetched reason, but it was better to talk than nothing.

Yang Yuncheng didn't ask questions as she thought, on the contrary, he was surprisingly calm, just said "yes", and went to work on it.

Jiang Qing was a little stunned.

Then smiled wryly.

Yang Yuncheng should have some understanding of her identity and origin, but it is really difficult to say where she went.

Yang Yuncheng didn't ask, maybe it was his trust in her, Jiang Qing sighed.

These days, there are many good people.

Yang Yuncheng's work efficiency was very fast, so fast that Jiang Qing was a little annoyed, why didn't he hand over this map to him earlier.

The locations of those two maps are Hexi and Lanling, respectively.

Jiang Qing asked, "Are you sure?"

Yang Yuncheng nodded and said, "I have repeatedly verified, it is indeed those two cities." ”

Jiang Qing's heart was hot, and when she heard Yang Yuncheng's confirmation, she couldn't wait to set off immediately.

But Yang Yuncheng told her bad news.

Because Hexi is hosting the World Olympic Games, there are many dragons and snakes, and if Jiang Qing leaves at this moment, the trip may not be smooth.

As for Lanling, something happened to Lanling a while ago, so it's easy to have an accident if you go.

Yang Yuncheng suggested that Jiang Qing go after a while, because the forces of all parties are mixed, so it is best to be careful in everything.

Jiang Qing didn't insist on her opinion, just taking advantage of the past few days, she could inquire about the news about the Alliance of Strangers.

She mainly called Cui Guoqiang and asked him about the progress there. Cui Guoqiang said that he had used the resources at hand, but he still couldn't find any news.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, Jiang Qing also knew Cui Guoqiang's difficulties, so he didn't say anything.

As for Hei Mei, Hei Mei made a mistake when refining the Black Magic Stone, and according to her, she was going to go to Shahailan Country.

Where to go and what to do, Jiang Qing doesn't know.

Cui Guoqiang asked Jiang Qing to go to Hongmen to inquire about the news, and Jiang Qing also began to investigate. Yang Yuncheng didn't know that Jiang Qing was hiding so many secrets, and when Jiang Qing said goodbye to him, Yang Yuncheng still didn't understand it.

Jiang Qing said that she was going to Hongmen to deal with some things left over from before.

Yang Yuncheng was worried that Jiang Qing would suffer a loss and wanted to go with her.

was rejected by Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing has her reasons: "I am an old acquaintance with Miss Hong Xuansu, you don't have to worry." Besides, I was able to unite the three major families before, so I naturally have my ability. It's not a problem to have just a Hongmen. ”

If someone else said such a thing, others would definitely think she was crazy. But what Jiang Qing said is the truth, the decline of the Long family, isn't it her handiwork?

If it weren't for witnessing the decline of the No. 1 clan in Jingnan, as well as the defeat and glory that can never be recovered, who would have thought that the initiator who made the Long family so miserable would be such a beautiful woman.

Yang Yuncheng was finally persuaded by Jiang Qing, but he also let go, if Jiang Qing needed him anywhere, he would call at any time, and he promised to be there as soon as possible.

Feeling the sincerity and concern in Yang Yuncheng's words, Jiang Qing's heart suddenly surged with a warm current.

True.

It used to be Ji Chen.

Now it's Yang Yuncheng.

She Jiang Qing has never lacked a right-hand man in her life.
