Chapter 219: Wine Enters the Bowels
Closing the door, Xu Qing looked at Lin Bo expressionlessly, "Lin Bo, let's go!"
The golden dragon card opened the way and returned the way it came. Layer after layer of levels, layer after layer of barriers, on the elevator, Xin Xu Qing silently looked at the strange new world outside the elevator door.
The elevator slowly rose, getting farther and farther away from the underground kingdom, Xu Qing's nails were firmly embedded in the palm of his hand, and the pink nails were gradually dyed with a layer of blood.
"It's here, miss, give it!"
Xu Qing looked down at the special blindfold in Lin Bo's hand, how good would it be if she didn't have an eyepatch, so that she could leave to see her mother at any time.
Lin Bo's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were scrutinizing and reminding, "Miss!"
Xu Qing was immersed in his thoughts, and heaven and man were at war. Reason told her not to be impulsive, even if she grabbed the key, she wanted and couldn't take Mother Xu away. Sensibility is telling her, don't care how difficult it is, Xu's mother's organs have been healed, and now there is only cultivation left, and she can go anywhere.
Limber's voice rang out again, "Miss, please wear a blindfold!"
Xu Qing came back to his senses, took the blindfold from Lin Bo's hand, and put it on neatly, without the slightest hint of the struggle just now. Darkness descended on her world again, as dark as ever, but with a little more enlightenment in her heart.
Standing still and then waiting for the opportunity is the best option at the moment.
Lin Bo walked under one of the wall lamps and pressed the switch. The door slowly opened. Revealing the palatial hall. The huge crystal chandelier in the hall still emitted light uninterruptedly.
Xu Qing held the wooden staff and followed Lin Bo back to the hall. The door to the underground kingdom is closed again. Two thousand one hundred and eleven, two thousand one hundred and twelve, no more step, no less step, just two thousand and one white and twelve steps.
Sure enough, Limber's voice sounded in his ears again, "Miss, it's here!"
Taking off the blindfold, the dazzling lights in the hall were a little dazzling, and Xu Qing's palm was blocking his forehead, and he slowly put it down after half a sound. Looking at the familiar scene around him, Xu Qing was slightly stunned.
The Underground Kingdom and the Ground World are two completely different worlds. Every time he came back, Xu Qing had the illusion of "Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou" or "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly".
Of course, it's just an illusion. Xu Qing quickly sorted out his mood.
"Limber, say goodbye to grandpa for me. I'll go back first!"
Lin Bo smiled amiably, just like the image of an approachable, sleek and sophisticated executive in the eyes of the world. It has long been less serious and treacherous than the underworld.
"Miss, go slowly!"
Delicate and shiny, with dotted crystal heels stepping on the marble steps again, still making a "da-da-da" sound. The backlit voice shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see eyebrows.
The multicolored lights still shine on the huge fountain in front of the villa, giving off a multicolored glow. The night breeze sent the fragrance of flowers in the distance, and the fragrance of flowers was refreshing, making the muddy brain a little more sober.
Xu Qing remembers that this is the smell of lavender in the flower garden. Just like when she was a child, her mother took her to the park every time she smelled it. Thinking of his mother, Xu Qing's tears couldn't stop flowing.
She suppressed herself tightly and kept telling herself in her heart. This is the Xiao family manor, this is the Xiao family manor. It wasn't until she tasted the rust in her mouth that she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.
Perfectly putting on a smile mask, Xu Qing got into the private car in the manor again. The car drove slowly towards the gate of the manor.
"Miss, it's here. Watch your step!" the driver opened the door and said respectfully.
Xu Qing nodded and walked out of the car.
The driver followed behind him and handed out a delicate food box, "Miss, here are some pastries made by my wife." Please take it, Miss!"
Xu Qing frowned, "What are you?"
The driver had a flattering smile on his face and said worriedly, "Miss, my son accidentally broke a vase in the hall. Limber is going to kick him out of the manor, can you please help us intercede and give him a chance?"
Xu Qing smiled slightly, "Lao Li, I am a person with a foreign surname, but I live here temporarily. The servants in the manor are all in charge of Limber. You can take it back. ”
"Miss, please help us!"
Saying that, Lao Li stuffed the food box in his hand into Xu Qing's arms, and it seemed that if he stuffed it, his son would not be kicked out.
Although they are servants in the Xiao family, their treatment is very good, even higher than the salary of many white-collar workers outside. And they don't want to leave at all.
Although Xu Qing seemed to have a decent smile on her face, there was already some impatience in her eyes. She was in a bad mood, she was not a member of the Xiao family at all, the so-called eldest lady was just a joke, why did she point fingers at the management of the Xiao family.
Lao Li begged her to help him, but who would help her?
Lao Li was still begging, hoping to get Xu Qing's help. Xu Qing looked at the food box in his hand and looked at Lao Li's expectant eyes, "I will help you talk to Lin Bo, as for whether Lin Bo can keep your son, it can only depend on his luck." ”
When Lao Li heard this, he smiled, "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"
"You can take this thing back," Lao Li looked at him with some concern, Xu Qing continued: "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you." ”
Xu Qing didn't say much, stuffed the things into Lao Li's arms, and called Lin Bo to plead for mercy.
"Whether you can stay or not depends on your son's creation. ”
The night breeze sent Xu Qing's words, and Lao Li stood in place. Under the bright moonlight, Xu Qing's back looked a little thin. Somehow, Lao Li suddenly felt a sense of desolation and loneliness from inside.
Xu Qing's car was parked on the side of the road outside the manor. Before getting into the car, she looked back at the manor in the night. It's obviously brightly lit, but it brings the cold of people's flanks.
The tall and solemn gate resembles the wide open mouth of a wild beast, as if it would be devoured as soon as a person walks in.
The bright, slightly yellowed headlights lit up in the dark night, dispelling the chill of the night. Xu Qing didn't feel that he was shivering from the cold until this time. I picked up a coat from the back seat and put it on, and I felt better.
The silent boulevard was deserted, except for the occasional bird call or two. The yellow headlights slowly approached from the end of the road, and the "fluttering" sound sounded, and the forest birds, awakened by the headlights, let out a desolate and infiltrating cry.
The night is the best cover color, and no one can detect the sadness and cowardice in her heart. Xu Qing held the steering wheel, tears flowing freely on his face. As soon as he left the Xiao family, his eyes were like a dam full of water, and tears poured down.
The whimpering sound was drowned out by the sound of birds chirping and the roar of the car, and the people who were following outside could not smell a trace of sadness as they watched the car disappear at the end of the road.
……
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the lights in the city are turned off little by little, and people who have been busy all day have long been asleep in sweet sleep. Chen Chen had just finished working on the cosmetics case and was about to take a hot shower and go to bed.
He had just finished taking off his shirt when the phone rang. Because he has not seen the sun all year round, Chen Chen's skin is a little fair, which makes him a little more thin as a literati.
In the past, Chen Chen was in a strong figure, often went to the gym, and would also participate in some activities such as mountaineering, not to mention that he was full of tendon meat like Li Zexia, at least he was also a good figure with six-pack abs as a base.
Since his leg injury in a car accident, Chen Chen has never gone to the gym again. The muscles that I used to train have started to fade slowly because I haven't exercised for many years.
Even so, his figure is still good-looking. It's a bit like the ancient literati, without any fat, and belongs to the type that is not fat or thin, and is very attractive.
Looking at the caller number displayed on the phone, Chen Chen frowned slightly. Why did Xu Qing call him at this time?
"Hey," the voice on the phone was very noisy, but he didn't hear Xu Qing's voice for a long time, Chen Chen said again, "Hey?"
Rewind the clock to five minutes ago.
Xu Qing drove to the largest bar in the imperial capital, Mics.
She hurried her steps, and as soon as she entered the bar, she went straight to the bar.
A waiter came out from the side and directly bumped into Xu Qing. Xu Qing was knocked into the table next to her, and she frowned and gasped in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Guest, are you alright?"
The bartender helped Xu Qing up, looking nervous. His stomach was still "growling", and he clamped his legs and held back.
Xu Qing eased up for a while before he felt better, and the bartender kept apologizing, his voice was quick and nervous, with a hint of depression. Noticing the awkward movements, Xu Qing seemed to understand something.
"I'm fine, you can go quickly. ”
"Thank you! I couldn't help myself, so I went first. ”
The bartender was afraid that Xu Qing didn't understand, so he pointed to his stomach, and immediately ran to the toilet after saying goodbye to Xu Qing. Sitting on the toilet in the toilet, the bartender listened to the rapid sound of "crackling" behind him, and exhaled comfortably.
He's one of the bartenders at this bar, and he didn't know what he had eaten wrong this afternoon, and he had a stomach upset all the time. Just now, because he was in too much trouble, he was too anxious to go to the toilet to bump into Xu Qing.
Thanks to the woman just now who didn't care, if he was one step too late, he would probably have to pull up to his pants. He hurts for a long time when his stomach hits the corner of the table, let alone a delicate woman like Xu Qing.
Midnight is the most lively time for "Mic", Xu Qing sits alone at the bar, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and keeps drinking.
The tears had dried up, but the pain in her heart had not diminished. The more I drank, the more sober I became.
She muttered in her mouth, "How to solve your worries, only Du Kang, the ancients will not deceive you", and poured the wine in the cup into her mouth.
"Ahem!"
The spicy taste of the liquor is still unpleasant for people who don't like to drink, no matter how much they drink. Xu Qing's face was red from the wine, and his already delicate and outstanding face was dyed with a touch of bright color, and several men drinking next to him frequently cast attention to it.
If all the men hadn't been rejected by Xu Qing just now, they would have gone up to talk to each other a long time ago. They noticed this woman as soon as they came, such a beautiful woman drank alone, and she was either out of love or unemployed.
At this time, it is best to take advantage of the situation, but there are too many people around who want to eat meat, and there is too little meat, and they are all waiting for the best time.
"How dizzy my head is, it's really drunk and everyone is drunk. Where's my phone?"
The bartender next to him looked at Xu Qing with a drunken look, and then glanced at a group of ill-intentioned men next to him, secretly worried. Xu Qing helped him just now, and he couldn't sit idly by. But I wanted to help, but I didn't know how to do it.
Xu Qing fumbled in his bag for a long time before he found his mobile phone, found Jiang Yun's phone, broadcast it in a daze, and then fell asleep directly on the table.
Dazzling, she didn't notice at all that her finger was pressing a phone on Jiang Yun.
Chen Chen listened to Xu Qing on the other end of the phone and didn't speak, thinking that Xu Qing had made a mistake and was about to hang up. At this time, a man's voice rang on the phone.
"Are you a friend of this lady? Your friend is drunk, can you come and pick her up?"
The man who spoke was none other than the bartender. It turned out that he saw that Xu Qing was drunk and couldn't answer the phone at all, so he picked up the phone on his own initiative.
"She's in a dangerous situation right now, so come over here. At Mics' Bar!"
He frowned, his relationship with Xu Qing was not good enough to pick her up at the bar, and he was about to ask the other party to contact Jiang Yun when he heard a "beep" sound on the phone. Call again, it's already turned off.
Chen Chen pressed his eyebrows, not knowing what to do. To go or not to go?
