Ding Qi finally found an opportunity to quietly ask Xiaoxiao, is it male or female? After some brainstorming to explain the meaning of male and female to the little sparrow, Xiaoxiao replied, "I am a woman, and the egret has already asked." ”

In the blink of an eye, in the early morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the white horse sat under the tree and cultivated food qi in front of the rising sun. Its posture is a bit awkward, with a pair of front hooves propped on the ground, and its body is upright but not straight, with an angle leaning forward. Because it's a horse, it doesn't lie down until it's sick, and it sleeps standing.

When the white horse exhaled and finished his work, he stood up straight with his four hooves again, and the egret also flew down from the canopy, and naturally landed on the horse's back, combing his feathers with his long beak and saying: "It is indeed very inconvenient to practice kung fu as a beast. ”

Ding Qi nodded, he also had a deep understanding. The egret said again: "But there is no obstacle to cultivating the secret method outside the square. ”

Ding Qi explained: "Senior Brother Tan has long said that the Outer Secret Method is a method of direct cultivation of the mind, and the purpose pursued is very pure, which is completely different from the cultivation secret methods of other sects and sects, in fact, I have not thought of anything else...... The cultivation of the secret method outside the square is the spiritual world, and it also requires enough strong energy and physical support, including the Bigu Gong Method, and all kinds of cultivation kung fu are auxiliary. ”

Ding Qi and Xian Hao both have personal experience, it is indeed the most convenient to practice various cultivation kung fu with the human body, but the secret method outside the square is not among them, even if it is a beast, as long as it retains a clear sense of self, there is no obstacle at all.

Xian Hao suddenly said again: "I'm hungry!"

Ding Qi: "When you say that, I'm hungry too." ”

Ding Qi was originally not hungry, and with his cultivation "equivalent" to the Five Realms, the cultivation of the Bigu Technique could not only last for such a short time. But Bigu is also a state of mind, not simply not eating grains, Xu is because it is inconvenient to cultivate as a white horse, Xu is because of what Xian Hao said, in short, his thoughts have moved, and he suddenly feels hungry.

Xian Hao: "Let's go out to eat, say hello to Xiaoxiao, and ask him to pay attention to his own safety when we are not there." ”

The egret called the little sparrow with a chirp, told it, and then left the hill and crossed the river with the white horse. The snow had not yet melted, and as he walked in the wilderness, Hakuba asked, "No more, no less, I haven't eaten for a week, what do you want to eat?" We can go to Beijing, after all, it is a metropolis, and there are many restaurants open during the Spring Festival, and you can find cuisine from all over the country. ”

Xian Hao replied, "What were you doing this time last year?"

Ding Qi was stunned, at this time last year, whether it was Xian Hao or Xian Jiao, he didn't know him, and he was left alone in the empty school single dormitory building...... It's only been a year, and now that I look back, it's like a world away!

He replied, "I'm shopping for firecrackers, beer and canned food." ”

Xian Hao didn't ask him why he bought these things, and asked, "What about the year before last?"

Ding Qi: "The year before last, I dusted off in my hometown. ”

On the twenty-ninth of last year's lunar month, Ding Qi was indeed shopping in a supermarket near the school, and by the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he was drunk alone and lost his memory for the first time in his life. And the Spring Festival of the previous year, he returned to his hometown mountain village, with the uncle's family, but he only passed on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, he cleaned the old house in the county seat.

Ding Qi's habit is to clean and tidy up his place no matter what the situation, so that he can get peace of mind.

Xian Hao: "Then let's not go to Beijing, it's not too hungry now, let's go directly to your hometown Jingyang County, won't you dust off this year?"

Ding Qi was stunned again: "Go to Jingyang County? I thought you were going back to Jinghu City." ”

Why did Ding Qi decide to stay in the country of birds and beasts, and wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year when Zhu Shanxian and them came in? Not only to meet here, but also to make the establishment of this bureau more certain, the main reason is very simple, it is because of Xian Hao, or because of Xian Jiao.

Xian Jiao appeared as Xian Hao, couldn't everyone see it? But everyone didn't break it, and Ding Qi could only acquiesce, and it wasn't until he was in the high platform that he couldn't help but ask. After Xian Hao appeared, Ding Qi always had a sense of alienation from her in his heart, and Xian Jiao seemed to be inseparable from him. Gradually, however, this sense of alienation was replaced by another indescribable feeling.

This made Ding Qi a little embarrassed and a little awkward, maybe he wanted to struggle deep down. Zhu Shanxian was definitely not in Nanlan Community during the Spring Festival, and Zhuang Mengzhou, Tan Hanchuan, and Shang Ni were not there, and Xian Hao had already settled there.

Of course, Ding Qi would not go back to his hometown mountain village alone, but the two of them lived in a small building together, even if they entered Xiaojing Lake without anyone else, it felt too close...... The country of beasts is an unexpected place, a horse and a heron, no matter how good it is, right?

Even if you are communicating with spiritual thoughts here, you can't disguise your words, but your identity is a kind of disguise. He wanted to hide in the country of birds and beasts and pretend to be beasts, but unfortunately the birds and beasts did not pretend after all, Xian Hao still wanted to go out, and the destination was directly in Jingyang County. Ding Qina said: "It's true that I haven't been back for half a year, but I still have to clean up the house and pay the water, electricity, and sanitation fees at one time." ”

Xian Hao: "You are clearly thinking about it, what are you hesitating about? Go directly to Jingyang County, the high-speed rail only takes five and a half hours, and you can still catch the 11 o'clock at noon when you leave now." ”

Ding Qi: "Okay, let's go together, my family's old house in the county seat is also a three-bedroom, and there is a place to live." If you don't feel comfortable living there, we will rush to dust it today, and we can go back to Jinghu the day after tomorrow, but it's too late to prepare any New Year's goods. ”

Xian Hao: "Just have me, how many more years do you need?" As soon as this sentence came out, she felt that something was wrong, this damn beast country...... Just stand on horseback and keep silent,

And the white horse pretended not to hear, and continued to walk slowly. Horses can run very fast, but at this moment Ding Qi walks very slowly, seems a little rubbing, and his body language, including the way he behaves, can reflect a certain state of mind. After being silent for a while, the egret said very suddenly: "Ding Qi, you are not real!"

Bai Ma wondered, "Why do you say this?"

Mr. Zhuang once praised Ding Qi to his face - he had never seen such a thorough and clean person. To be honest, although Ding Qi was modest on the surface, he was also a little proud in his heart. Now Xian Hao said that he was not real, and it was an exchange of spiritual ideas in the country of beasts, which was a little inexplicable.

Xian Hao: "Because you don't face your true heart, you turn a blind eye to certain things. ”

White Horse: "No, have you? Have you forgotten that we're still in the beast country, there's no way to lie here!"

Xian Hao: "Just because you can't lie doesn't mean you're real." ”

Hakuba: "Since that's the case, let's give you an example, it has to be convincing." ”

Xian Hao: "Just like the person you killed, his name is Tian Qi." You always think it was an accident, an unexpected event, and you didn't think about it beforehand. In front of the hospital, he was stimulated by the woman named Liu Guonan, which was an accident, and in the process of hypnosis, he was stimulated by Tian Qi and made a temporary sudden decision......

Of course, from a professional and legal point of view, you can say and should say that Tian Qi is actually self-destructive, and the power to judge the nature of the incident does not lie with you. But when you face yourself, you never admit the simplest truth, who led him to self-destruction? In fact, you just want to kill him, so you try to make him die, it is not a sudden accident. ”

The white horse stopped, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "Xian Hao, you are right! But the example you really want to give should not be this incident, right?"

Bai Lu snorted coldly: "When I say that you are not real, it is not that this thing is done wrong, nor that he does not deserve to die, but that you have not faced your true heart...... There are so many examples!"

White Horse: "What about another example?"

Bai Lu: "For example, now! You have been refining the Beast Talisman for the past few days, why can't you fully control it? Why can't you break through the Great Array of Mountains and Rivers and open the Golden Mountain Courtyard?"

White Horse: "It's not enough...... Didn't you have any?"

Egret: "Don't change the subject, it's you now!" After speaking, he fluttered his wings and flew forward, without waiting for Ding Qi to open the portal, he took out the dry bone knife and opened the portal and went out first.

The two left the beast country and climbed to the top of the cliff, their movements were silent, Ye avoided the position that the monitor could photograph, and left along the path behind the cliff, leaving no trace. They arrived at the Jingyang County high-speed rail station at half past four in the afternoon, and rushed to the old house of Ding Qi's family at five o'clock.

The small county town is the busiest during the Spring Festival every year, because many people who have worked in other places or gone out to work have returned. Ding Qi was certainly familiar with the situation in this area, and took Xian Hao to a nearby small restaurant. The food here is very authentic and the prices are fair. Xian Hao praised while eating: "It's really good, but it seems to be a little worse than the delicious food in the high platform." ”

Ding Qi cried and laughed: "This is just a small public restaurant, and it makes local specialty home-cooked food." And when we are on the high platform, we are all as heavenly brothers, with the best food and clothing, and we are enjoying the most elite resources and services in the whole world. ”

Xian Hao explained with some embarrassment: "I just think of the high platform of the piano." ”

Ding Qi said that he had to come back to pay for water, electricity, sanitation and other expenses, but it was actually an excuse because the charging unit had already closed. But they found a QR code posted on the billboard in the corridor of the residential building, and now they can scan the code with their mobile phones and download the Jingyang public service account to pay, without having to go to the toll office.

When Ding Qi took out his mobile phone to scan the code, Xian Hao also reminded: "Be careful, don't touch the threshold." ”

Now there is a new type of fraud, which is to quietly replace other people's charging QR codes with their own, and when someone scans and pays, they actually transfer the money to the scammer's account. This QR code is posted in the corridor, and Xian Hao, an old Jianghu, instinctively thought of this kind of threshold, and reminded it is quite necessary.

Maybe the scammer didn't notice it, maybe he didn't dare to touch this kind of official charge account, when Ding Qi scanned the code, Xian Hao watched from the sidelines, and finally confirmed that there was no problem.

When they returned home after eating, they first opened the windows for ventilation in winter, so that they didn't feel cold anyway, and then carefully cleaned up the house. There are ready-made covers, and Ding Qi also deliberately put desiccant in the cabinet, so it can be used when taken out, but the sheets and quilts have a smell of mothballs, and they are also a little old.

The next day, both of them got up early, first went downstairs to taste the local snacks, and then Ding Qi accompanied Xian Hao to visit Jingyang County. Many local shops don't close until noon in the Chinese New Year's Eve, so it's still lively in the morning. Coming to the door of the largest shopping mall in Jingyang City, Xian Hao suddenly said: "You just wait here for me for a while, and I'll solve something." ”

Ding Qi thought she was going to the bathroom, so she stood on the side of the road and waited, but the wait was more than half an hour, and no one answered the phone call or sent WeChat without replying. Ding Qi didn't know what was going on, and was about to look around, but an off-road vehicle suddenly stopped in front of him, Xian Hao pressed down the power window and said, "Come up." ”

This is actually a car with a local license plate, which is quite good, although Ding Qi has not studied the car, he also knows that the new car of this brand will cost more than 800,000 yuan. He got into the car and asked confusedly, "Where did this car come from?"

Xian Hao's face did not change and said, "I stole it!"

Ding Qi was shocked and said: "What, you just ran to steal a car! Why do you want to do such a thing? There are cameras all over the street, do you want to go in for the New Year? Even if you want to use the car, you don't need to steal it......

Xian Hao looked at Ding Qi's anxious and serious appearance, and actually smiled, she explained with a smile: "Actually, it can't be regarded as stealing, it is borrowed for temporary use! This is a car of a unit, the unit has already been on holiday, the owner and driver have gone to other places for the New Year, and they can't come back until the eighth day of the new year, and the car is parked in the library, and no one uses it at all."

I borrowed it for two days, then I filled it up and returned it so that no one would notice. Since Mr. Ding is so upright, I'll put some money under the seat, so that the owner will think that he accidentally lost it when he comes back. How much should I pay a day to rent a car like this here? I will definitely not let it go......

Ding Qi sighed and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it after all. The recent time together made him almost forget what kind of person Xian Hao was, what kind of experience and background he had. At this moment, I couldn't help but realize that she was the heir of the floating door in the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, and "borrowing" a car was like playing, and she inquired about the situation in just over half an hour.

Ding Qi didn't even want to ask her how she inquired about the situation and how she stole the car.

Xian Hao was killed by the enemy in his early years, and his family was ruined and left in the rivers and lakes...... This is a piece of black history that Ding Qi both knows and does not understand, and it is also a past that Xian Hao is unwilling to let people delve into. In this life experience, stealing a car and using it is probably not worth mentioning, and she who is proficient in the hidden art of rivers and lakes will not even leave a trace.

Seeing that Ding Qi was stunned again, Xian Hao suddenly said, "Shall we go on a trip?"

Ding Qi was a little unresponsive: "Travel? Chinese New Year's Eve? Where to travel?"

Xian Hao: "Go to Qinxi!" You said that if you walk along Qinxi, if the shake is still in the river, you may be able to sense it, then we will go and find it." Even if you don't look for it today, you can find it on the first and second days of the Lunar New Year...... We can go to the Qin Gao Tai for the New Year, where there are many old acquaintances. ”

This proposal made Ding Qi even more confused: "How long has it been there?"

Xian Hao: "We came out for a month, and it should be exactly five years there. ”

Ding Qi: "It's only been a month, how do I feel that it's been a long, long time." ”

Xian Hao: "It's been a long time since we were in the high stage, and we should go back and have a look...... Go or not give a word, I'm going to drive!"

Ding Qi: "Since you want to go, then, then, then go, anyway, it's only a dozen kilometers, two feet on the accelerator." ”
