Chapter Ninety-Two: Green
"Xia Qing, we're here!"
In his ears was Chu Qiao's high-decibel scream, "Ahhhhhhh Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info I'm back~"
Xia Qing was also infected by Chu Qiao's excitement, and kept smiling on her lips.
Ah Zhu came over to help her untie the silk scarf that was blindfolded.
His eyes suddenly came into contact with the sun, and Xia Qing narrowed his eyes uncomfortably. It was dark in the void forest just now, and she was covered with a silk scarf, but now suddenly the surroundings became so bright that her eyes couldn't adjust to it for a while.
She put her hand over her eyebrows, so that her hand was partially covered by the light.
Hazy, she saw a huge lake. It is surrounded by wooden houses. All of this is a vague phantory shadow, Xia Qing silently waited for his eyes to return to their original state.
"Xia Qing, come and take a look~ There is my favorite ....... here"
Chu Qiao stood by the lake and turned his head to look at Xia Qing.
Xia Qing happened to be looking at her too.
The eyes of the two were focused, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Xia Qing opened her eyes first, she rolled her eyes and kept looking at the green things around her.
Gradually, the eyes seemed to return to their original appearance, the hands no longer needed to block the sun, and the blurred things in front of the eyes gradually became clear.
She slammed her eyes shut, and then opened them again.
It's good, everything is clear.
The huge lake is calm and waveless, and a few ducks swim slowly on the green surface of the lake. A few women dressed in Miao Jiang costumes were washing clothes on the shore, chatting with each other while washing clothes, laughing heartily.
Wooden buildings are lined up on the edge of the lake, and behind the houses are the mountains. The mountain envelops the entire Miao Jiang inside, no wonder Chu Qiao said that Miao Jiang is a valley. Now, according to this terrain, Miao Jiang is a people in the valley.
Because it is surrounded by mountains and there is no land that can be planted, the people of Miaojiang have cultivated the land on the mountains, and Xia Qing can even see the farmers working together when they look forward.
The air here is really fresh.
Xia Qing couldn't help but take two more breaths, the air was full of sweet smells, not like the fragrance of flowers and herbs, it was an indescribable fragrance.
"How did you feel about coming to Miaojiang for the first time?"
Old man Hua walked up to Xia Qing and stood side by side with her.
"It's beautiful, it feels like everything here is slow. It must be a blessing to live here. ”
Xia Qing sat on the ground, there was a large piece of grass on the ground, and when he sat down, he could smell the strong fragrance of grass.
"I used to think so, too. This place is so beautiful, so beautiful that it feels unreal. ”
The old man was still standing, his eyes kept following Chu Qiao who was running around by the lake, "I have always felt that in such a beautiful place, there can be no power, desire or any other ugly things...... It's a pity..... It ended up with these things here......."
"So you left?"
Xia Qing looked up and saw a butterfly perched on the hood of the old man.
"Yes...... Nor is it ...... I always thought I wasn't the kind of person who loved vanity..... But then I found out that I was the same....... As long as it's a place where there are people, these things will definitely appear......"
"Maybe it's all your misunderstanding. ”
Chu Qiao walked to the side of the master and apprentice at some point, she was holding a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in her hand, each one was still very fresh, and all of them still exuded a strong floral fragrance.
She took a few flowers and helped Xia Qing stick them on her head.
"I just wore one for you, and now that one has a companion. ”
Chu Qiao smiled and sniffed the flowers in his arms. He looked up at the sad old man again, "Although it is undeniable that there are people like you said among the elders, they are now threatening my position. But..... There are also different people. There are still more good people than bad people here. At least that's what I think. ”
Her gaze was firm, "If even I can't trust my people, then Miao Jiang will cease to exist one day." Flower old man.... Such a beautiful place..... Are you willing?"
The old man looked at Chu Qiao's determined appearance and was speechless for a while.
Xia Qing stroked the flower that Chu Qiao put on her hair, such a delicate flower, it died the moment it was plucked from the branch, but even if it died, it was still so beautiful and so lovely.
"Old man Hua, are you willing to fight side by side with me?"
Chu Qiao stood up and pushed the flower in his hand forward.
The old man hung his hand, did not take it, and did not refuse.
"Auntie, you ......"
There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, "But since the moment I left Miao Jiang, I have been a traitor and an outsider..... It doesn't seem like a big deal to meddle in the matter here again, right?"
"Flower old man. With me Chu Qiao in one day, you will forever, always be the flower elder of Miao Jiang. ”
The calloused old shriveled hands finally lifted up and took the bouquet tremblingly.
"Well, it's up to my aunt's arrangement. ”
The sun shone down, Chu Qiao and Old Man Hua stood straight, this moment seemed to be a sacred ceremony, an old man over half a hundred years old gave everything to this beautiful woman.
Many years later, whenever Xia Qing thinks of this moment, he always feels that there are some things, maybe it is fate.
Chu Qiao took Xia Qing and Old Man Hua to a very ordinary wooden building.
The moment the old man saw this wooden building, his eyes flashed with deep attachment.
"This is the house where the old man used to live. You will live here for the rest of the day. ”
Chu Qiao smiled and pushed the door of the wooden building open.
The house that has not been lived in for many years can be imagined how dirty it should be, Xia Qing is ready to clean it well.
But what she didn't expect was that it was clean inside, and there was not even a trace of dust. The furniture is neatly arranged.
There was even a large wooden table not far away, and a table of dishes.
Old Man Hua turned around with some surprise and asked Chu Qiao, "Is it ..... She.... She...... Still there?"
Chu Qiao smiled and nodded.
Xia Qing looked at the two of them playing dumb riddles and was a little puzzled.
She was the first to walk into the wooden building, and she was actually hungry for a long time. Looking at the table full of dishes now, she felt that the gluttonous worms in her stomach had been hooked out.
"Green, are you there?"
Chu Qiao shouted.
A woman in a coarse cloth shirt suddenly emerged from behind the door.
Her hair was gray, and her face looked old.
She didn't speak, gesturing to something.
Old Man Hua took a few steps closer and nodded at the woman, "Thank you, Ah Lu, even if I leave, you are still guarding here." Really, really, thank you. ”
The woman waved her hand and pointed to the dishes on the wooden table.
"Let's eat now, and you can eat too. ”
The old man pulled the woman to the wooden table.
Chu Qiao stood at the door, with no intention of coming in, "I just came back, the elder must be in trouble again, I'll deal with it first, you eat." “
She didn't wait for the old man to say anything before she turned around and left.
Xia Qing sat at the wooden table and looked curiously at this woman named Ah Lu.
"Xia Qing, let me introduce you, this is my domestic servant, named Ah Lu. Ah Lu, let me introduce to you, this is my closed disciple, Xia Qing. ”
Ah Lu looked Xia Qing up and down, and gestured at the old man Hua.
"You say she's handsome? haha, yes, she's very good-looking. ”
Xia Qing was praised by Ah Lu like this, and her face was a little red.
"Hello Ah Lu, my name is Xia Qing. ”
Midori smiled at her and nodded.
"Xia Qing, Ah Lu can't speak, you usually take care of it. “
The old man pulled Ah Lu to sit down, and gave her a chopstick dish, "You have worked hard, eat more." “
