Chapter Twenty-Six: Wind Horse Station
Shi Jiu was standing dumbfounded, and the elf-strange Duan Wushuang had already jumped in front of him unconsciously.
Duan Wushuang pushed Shi Jiu's shoulder violently, then stuffed a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand into Shi Jiu's hand, and chirped like a sparrow, "Stupid, right?"
Duan Wushuang's pun made Shi Jiu immediately wake up from his dementia, and his face instantly turned crimson.
Shi Jiu took the rock sugar gourd and said as if he was very angry: "Duan Wushuang, if you talk nonsense again, I won't take you to the Dur Battlestar Academy!"
When Duan Wushuang heard Shi Jiu's words, she immediately put away a cynical smile, she took Meng Qingchun's hand and said like a child who had done something wrong: "Okay, okay, it's me wrong again." Brother Jiu knew that he was threatening people with this! People got up early in the morning to find Old Man Tang, and after ink for a long time, he didn't say anything, and sang a genius song to him for nearly an hour, so he made such a few strings of rock sugar gourds. Hey, why is it so difficult to be a good person in this world!"
Hearing Duan Wushuang's defense, Meng Qingchun, who was standing next to Duan Wushuang, burst out laughing, she giggled and said: "Brother Jiu, don't be blinded by Wushuang, the old man Tang is over eighty years old, and he has been retired for many years and has not made rock sugar gourds, Wushuang put his arms around the old man's neck and argued endlessly, it is indeed a song, but it is all a children's song! Giggle~!cluck~!"
Shi Jiu also laughed involuntarily for a while, he took a bite of the rock sugar gourd in his hand, and the sweet and sour taste instantly filled Shi Jiu's mouth, he looked at Meng Qingchun and Duan Wushuang in front of him, and thought of Teacher Du Xuan, Brother Scar, Luo Changfeng, Ji Yanan, Bopa, Ou Chufei and them, the family and friendship that had not appeared for a long time secretly surged into his heart, and he silently swore in his heart that he must make himself strong. This world belongs to the world of the strong, and the weak can only be reduced to being bullied and oppressed. Only with strong strength can you protect your family and friends, and only with the strongest strength can you not be afraid of any challenge!
Shi Jiu was standing in the courtyard in a daze eating sugar gourds, and when he recovered from his memories of thoughts, Meng Qingchun and Duan Wushuang had already gone back to their room.
He tasted the rock sugar gourd and stood in the middle of the courtyard for a while, subconsciously touching the void pendant hanging on his chest with his hand. The moment Shi Jiu's hand touched the Void Pendant, it seemed to have an imperceptible force, exuding a slight tremor and heading towards the depths of his soul. Shi Jiu sighed secretly, the small void pendant is really like what Meng Qingchun said, this pendant doesn't know what mysterious power it contains, it is really a very amazing treasure. It's just that his current ability can't detect its full connotation, let alone control it.
But Shi Jiu strengthened his confidence that as long as he worked tirelessly, sooner or later he would be able to fully understand and control the Void Pendant.
Carefree time always flies, and only hard days can make people feel like years, as if in the blink of an eye, the time has come for them to set off to return to Battlestar Academy.
On this day, Duan Wushuang's third uncle was still dressed like a strong man in black, and the two vehicles he had prepared for Shi Jiu and them had been sent to the door, which were two luxury carriages that were exactly the same but had been specially processed. The body is exquisitely spliced with golden silk nanmu and huanghuali, and the roof and wheel are covered with silk brocade inlaid with silver and gold, Shi Jiu did not see the appearance of the car, presumably it is also extremely luxurious and noble, especially the design of the wheels is very thoughtful, wrapped with a thick layer of carved copper plate belt, which can definitely adapt to long-distance travel.
The servants of the Duan Mansion put many large and small boxes in the middle of the courtyard, and Duan Wushuang walked over and walked over with a swaggering head, inspecting each box with his fingers, and then ordering the servants to load these things into the car one by one.
Shi Jiu couldn't understand, how could a little girl need so many things?!
At this time, an older maid said to Duan Wushuang after packing all the boxes: "Miss Hui, your clothes and silver are all packed. I just don't know where to put the boxes of food and water that the third master prepared for everyone? Look at it, there is really no place to put it!"
At this time, Meng Qingchun also came out of the room and said: "Stinky girl, you can eat and drink, not only worship money but also stinky and beautiful!
Duan Wushuang pouted and circled around the carriage, pointing at the box and then at the box, as if he was reluctant to unload the box. Finally, he closed his eyes helplessly and pointed twice. The servants dared to remove boxes of clothing and put boxes of food and water on them.
After a while, the guide who led the way and the master who drove the car also arrived.
They told Shi Jiu that if he was not afraid of delay, he could take a slow detour through the Hanhai Desert leading to the interior, and the time it would take to reach the city would be about ten days.
Of course, Shi Jiu didn't want to delay too much time, after all, since he and Meng Qingchun came out of the Spirit Beast Valley, they could be regarded as "missing" for a while, and his friends and the teachers of the academy were probably worried and afraid, so Shi Jiu asked to go directly through the Hanhai Desert.
The guide told Shi Jiu that his choice was completely correct, because crossing the Hanhai Desert in this season was the first choice for most caravans, and these merchants were driven by greater interests, so it was even more necessary to shorten the time on the road, and there was a more important reason, this season was the calmest and safest season of the year in the Hanhai Desert.
The guide also told Shi Jiu that if he was in a hurry, he couldn't delay time after lunch, and he had to set off directly.
Because today I have to rush to the departure post on the edge of the Hanhai Desert before dark-Fengma Station.
