Chapter 67: Departure
"Who has a good relationship with him (her)?" the two who were fighting turned their heads at the same time and glared at Cuiru.
Cuiru was still smiling: "Look, even the appearance of staring at people is almost the same!"
Cheng Qiao glanced at Zhu Xing with disgust, withdrew his fist, straightened his somewhat messy dress, and said, "Hey...... I'm not in the mood to play, so let's go home. ”
Cuiru looked at Zhu Xing: "Where is Zhu Gongzi?"
Zhu Xing put away the folding fan: "Then go back!"
As when she came, Cuiru was still sitting on the wheel, while Cheng Qiao and Zhu Xing were sitting firmly in the carriage.
There are no outsiders, and there is no need to make a fuss, Cheng Qiao asked bluntly: "Are you leaving?"
This girl is too sharp, isn't it? Zhu Xing glanced at her in surprise and said silently in his heart.
Cheng Qiao blinked: "Are you curious how I knew you were leaving?"
Zhu Xing bowed.
Cheng Qiao straightened his face and said righteously: "You said before that you wanted to recuperate your injuries, but I reluctantly took you in for a few days, and now your injuries have healed, and there is no sign of recurrence, are you embarrassed to eat and drink in my house for nothing?"
Poof! Zhu Xing couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.
Cheng Qiao's face was still tight: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Yes! Yes, the girl was right. Zhu Xing replied with a smile.
"When are you leaving?" Cheng Qiao lowered his voice.
"Three days later...... Zhu Xing said, feeling a little reluctant in his heart, "The bureau has been laid out, and the net is just waiting to be closed." ”
"How sure are you?" Cheng Qiao's face was worried.
"I don't dare to say ten percent, at least seven or eight percent. Zhu Xing thought for a while and replied.
Cheng Qiao got the answer, his face suddenly relaxed, he lifted the curtain, turned his face sideways to look at the scenery outside the car, and then didn't say a word to him again.
As soon as I returned to Zhuangzi, I saw that the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the wind was fierce, blowing the doors and windows creaking, and after a while, lightning and thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down. The summer thundershowers come and go quickly, and the clouds and rain disperse after a few pillars of incense, and the sky returns to a blue blue like a wash.
After this heavy rain, it brought a touch of coolness to the hot summer, and Zhu Xingxue moved a rocking chair to the backyard to find a shady place to cool off. Leaning back on the chair and swaying, the blue sky overhead, a few white clouds changed their appearance and floated by, so I fell asleep in a daze.
There were bursts of cicadas chirping in his ears, and he could smell the faint fragrance of flowers, Zhu Xing opened his eyes, and saw Cheng Qiao, who was wearing aqua blue clothes, holding a fan in his hand and slowly walking towards him, and the goose-yellow skirt drew a graceful arc with her moving footsteps.
Zhu Xing couldn't help but be stunned, only feeling that the scene in front of him seemed familiar. Then he shook his head amusedly, this is the Zhuangzi who lived in the process for the second time, and he must have been delusional when he was confused. Inadvertently, I remembered the first time I stepped here, and it was also after the rain, Cheng Qiao and himself went to climb the mountain to see the peach blossoms, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and smile.
Cheng Qiao had already walked in front of Zhu Xing, and when he saw him smiling, he asked in surprise, "Why do you want to be so happy?"
On a whim, Zhu Xing asked, "What do you say is the peach tree in the mountains now?"
Cheng Qiao shook the fan in his hand and replied casually: "This year's peach blossoms will definitely not be visible, but there are still mountains of peaches to eat......
"Do you want to climb the mountain?"
"Ah?" Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had accompanied him to the mountain before Zhu Xing left last time, and happened to see the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms flying in the sky, so he nodded happily in agreement. Of course, when she met a strange Taoist priest who gave her a piece of black jade, she casually threw it into a waterhole halfway up the mountainside, and since then there has been a spiritual spring, such a strange and bizarre thing was thrown out of the clouds.
However, her dress at this time is not very suitable for climbing, so she has to ask Cuiru to help her change into a light and easy clothes. Waiting to step on the soft soil, Cheng Qiao seemed to have regained the fun of the year, the two walked side by side to the mountain, the mountain breeze was blowing, cool and pleasant, and they walked all the way to the top of the mountain without sweating, just a little hot. The air on the top of the mountain after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and Cheng Qiao opened his arms, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Zhu Xing still kept his hand on the folding fan, his eyes looked around, and found that there was an extra strange-looking stone on the top of the mountain, engraved with three big characters of "Luofengpo", and the words were also coated with a layer of red paint, which looked very eye-catching.
"Luofengpo...... It turns out that this mountain is called Luofengpo!" Zhu Xing read.
Cheng Qiao followed him over, and when he saw the three big characters, he was immediately embarrassed. That day, she just pointed to the back mountain and said casually, but she didn't expect that they really set up a stone on the top of the mountain......
The branches and leaves of the peach trees on the other side of the mountain are luxuriant, and the ripe peaches crush the branches to bend, which is Cheng Qiao's current height, and he can pick a few by standing on tiptoe and stretching out his hand.
Zhu Xing walked in front, Cheng Qiao was a few steps behind, and the two walked through the peach grove one after the other.
Cheng Qiao patronized the fresh peaches on the tree, didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, and carelessly stepped on an old tree root exposed to the ground for a while, and tripped her foot, she didn't even have time to exclaim before she fell forward.
Fortunately, Zhu Xing turned around in time, supported her falling body with one hand, and naturally fell on her slender waist with the other hand, and turned around to pick up Cheng Qiao, who was still frightened, in this intimate position.
When Cheng Qiao came back to her senses, she found that her back was attached to the trunk of a peach tree at some point, Zhu Xing put one hand on the trunk above her head, and raised her chin with the other hand. The fourteen-year-old boy is a little taller than a girl, and he doesn't need to look down to touch the delicate pink lips in front of him.
Cheng Qiao's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, and his ears were hot, so he could only look at Zhu Xing, who had his eyes closed, getting closer and closer to him, and silently said in his mouth: Don't, don't, come and stop him personally......
There was a god three feet above his head, Cheng Qiao's prayer seemed to be fulfilled, a gust of mountain wind whirled, blowing the branches of the peach tree swaying non-stop, the branches that were bent by the ripe fruit could no longer bear it, and a huge peach fell down, and it happened to fall on the top of Zhu Xing's head, breaking the strange atmosphere between the two.
"Poof!" Cheng Qiao couldn't help laughing, and reached out to catch the indispensable peach, the plush feel, not soft or hard, it must taste good.
Zhu Xing opened his eyes, and there was still a trace of annoyance and anger on his face.
Cheng Qiao touched the top of his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't smash out a bag." ”
“……”
"Do you hurt?" Seeing that Zhu Xing was silent, Cheng Qiao asked again.
Zhu Xing's face became more and more complicated, and he only saw that Cheng Qiao's heart suddenly stopped, and the corner of his eye glanced around Ji Yan, thinking that it was an excellent place to bury himself in this barren mountain and wilderness, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
Zhu Xing laughed when he saw her like this, and reached out and tapped lightly on her nose: "What are you thinking in your heart?"
"Don't be angry, I'll give you the culprit. You want to divide the corpses of five horses, Ling Chi, steam and boil it. Cheng Qiao said, handing the peach in his hand to Zhu Xing.
Zhu Xing stretched out his hand to take it, put the peach to his mouth and took a bite, it was sweet and crunchy, and the taste was good.
Child, fruits have to be washed and peeled before they can be eaten, this is common sense! Cheng Qiao said silently in his heart, but when he thinks about this ancient environment, there is no agriculture, no acid rain, and no industrial pollution, so it doesn't matter if you don't wash the pure natural things.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was time for Zhu Xing to leave.
Cheng Qiao didn't say anything, silently sent him to the car, and then waved goodbye.
Zhu Xing sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the slender figure that was getting smaller and smaller, and there was a strong reluctance in his heart. It's not bad to spend the rest of his life carefree, at least there is no intrigue in the palace, and the troubles of brothers reading the wall, but it is just a moment of thought, he knows that if he can't become the king of Xing this time, he may not be able to keep this paradise, and only when he is strong can he be qualified to have more, in order to protect the things he cherishes. When he becomes the king of Xing and stabilizes the palace, he will choose a good time to come back.
Once you have a purpose, you become strong. Zhu Xing's eyes were firm, he lowered the curtain of the car, leaned his head against the wall of the car, and began to think in his heart about how to exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest benefit in the upcoming invisible war.
Zhu Xing is gone, he will return to Guangyuan's Xingwang Mansion, and he will become the Xingwang in the future, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger, maybe he won't see each other in the future, right? Cheng Qiao said to herself, turned around and went back to Zhuangzi, she really wanted to go back to modern times!
Let's try it by the waterhole again, maybe it will work this time?" Cheng Qiao thought to himself, and walked to the backyard. Familiar with the way up the stairs to the edge of the waterhole, squatting down, silently thinking in his heart: I must succeed!
Miracles always happen, and no sooner had her fingers touched the surface of the water than it caused the pool to shake, and a swift giant vortex swept over and pulled her into the black hole.
This was Cheng Qiao's first feeling, his body trembled, and he could feel goosebumps on his skin that stood up collectively because of the cold. Her head was still a little dizzy, she didn't rush to open her eyes, and she was afraid of being disappointed, but she just stretched out her hand and poked to the side and touched something furry.
"Wang!" then a dog barked at the ear.
"It's good!" Cheng Qiao opened her eyes in surprise, and sure enough, she saw her golden retriever squatting beside her, while she herself was lying on the stone by the puddle.
She habitually took out her mobile phone from her pocket to check the time and date, and found that it was already the next morning, the sky had just been gray, the plants in the yard were still falling leaves, and the dark green leaves were still hanging with crystal clear dewdrops, and it seemed that she had slept like this all night. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler and cooler day by day, no wonder she felt dizzy and chilled just now.
Enter the password to enter the mobile phone interface, and find that there are more than a dozen missed calls on the screen, all of which are from her good friend Wu Xiaoya, from ten o'clock last night to half an hour ago.
Cheng Qiao wondered what happened to make her anxious like this, and she kept in touch with herself. Just as she was thinking, her phone rang again, and she quickly pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, Wu Xiaoya's voice was anxious with a hint of exhaustion: "Thank God, Qiaoqiao, you finally answered the phone!"
"What's going on?" Cheng Qiao asked curiously.
Wu Xiaoya paused for a moment, and then said to her: "Qiaoqiao, you promise me first, no matter what news I tell you next, you must stay calm!"
Cheng Qiao already had a premonition that something was wrong in his heart, and the hand holding the phone tightened, and he took a deep breath: "Okay, I'm ready, you can say it." ”
"He Yan had a car accident!"
