CHAPTER XVI

Chu Xiao quietly followed behind Ming Qi, and there was an inexplicable frustration in his heart, and he lingered for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info may not understand the reason for her first time, but deep down in her heart, she actually has a feeling that she should push open the door, so in the face of the reality of being "turned away", she is somewhat lost.

The recent experience made Chu Xiao unconsciously have a consciousness, she felt that she was peculiar, she could do things that ordinary people couldn't do, and she even began to feel that she was the same kind of person as Yu Huan, but the heavy door made her realize that everything was just an illusion, and people still couldn't overestimate themselves.

The two gradually stepped on the stone arch bridge again, this time without worrying about Yu Yan, Chu Xiao looked at the fences on both sides of the bridge.

"How could this fence be designed like this, is it any different from erecting a stone pillar at equal intervals on a bridge? And every two stone pillars are so empty, they can't protect at all. It's not aesthetically pleasing or practical, it's a weird design! After paying attention to the fence, Chu Xiao couldn't help but think like this.

The fences on both sides of the stone arch bridge are directly erected by stone pillars, each of which is about one meter high, and at about 80 centimeters of the column body, a circle of column necks about 10 centimeters long is engraved. Each pillar is carved with a subtle similar pattern, which is a vine-like flower, and the shape of the flower is extremely unique, and each one is like a crane fluttering its wings.

One by one things that can't be thought of are lined up in Chu Xiao's mind waiting to be solved, Chu Xiao thinks about it or grabs the previous question first - is Ming Qi really older than himself?

"Uh...... Heh......" Chu Xiao began to seek answers from Ming Qi, but before she could say the tone words, she closed her mouth.

With a "squeak", the ancient black door of the Soul Threshold suddenly opened, and Ming Qi and Chu Xiao looked towards the door almost at the same time.

A small gray creature jumped into the threshold first, followed by two women in white. The little thing dragged its lazy steps, and the lead from the beginning gradually fell behind the feet of the two women, who were walking together in the direction of the bridge.

Chu Xiao stood on the high place of the arch bridge, and when she saw the little gray thing, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but move, "You smack...... Hey ......"

Ming Qi looked at the two women and You Qi, and said naturally: "They are back." ”

Before, in the woods, You Qi heard a flute and rushed to other places like the wind, at that time, Chu Xiao also guessed that You Qi must have gone to work, so now it seems that You Qi must have come back from work.

Chu Xiao looked at the two women beside You Qi and found that the two of them were dressed very similarly to Yu Yan's. The two women also wore a white skirt with a belt around their waists, from which a carved piece of red ribbon hung down. The only difference is that the two women's belts are orange-yellow, while Yu's belts are orange-red.

Chu Xiao suddenly had a guess: these two women are also spirit girls, right? Isn't it like my white coat, which is the work clothes of their spirit girls?

After a pause, Ming Qi and Chu Xiao continued to walk forward on the bridge. Before meeting You Qi and the two women, Chu Xiao opened the conversation with questions that he hadn't finished asking before.

"You...... Is it really bigger than me? ”

"Yes, I'm older than you." Ming Qi's tone was very affirmative.

"I'm almost twenty-one, so you...... How much is twenty? ”

"Hmm...... How old do you think I am? Ming Qi asked rhetorically.

"Well, actually...... You look like a teenager anyway. Chu Xiao didn't care if Ming Qiai liked to hear it, and said it directly.

"Hmm. It's true that I'm underage, but I'm also older than you. ”

"Huh? That...... How so? ”

Chu Xiao couldn't figure it out, he was older than himself and indeed underage, could it be that Ming Qi was really thinking about his seniority? Could it be that outsiders come to the Soul Threshold, and they are all juniors?

Chu Xiao looked puzzled over there, Ming Qi not only did not rush to explain, but first showed a faint smile, and then said slowly: "You are from the Yang Realm, so you don't know, the three years old of the ordinary people is equivalent to the one year of the Yang people." ”

Hearing Ming Qi's mouth, Chu Xiao immediately had a question in her mind, but by the time Ming Qi finished speaking, her thinking had already shifted direction: "Are you saying that the growth and development of your people here is slower than that of the people in the Yang World?" ”

"I can't say that it is entirely true, although our bodies develop more slowly, our minds are developed as well as yours."

"That's great, isn't it? The mind develops quickly, and the face changes slowly, which ...... And such a good thing! For this, Chu Xiao was amazed.

"Maybe it's because I don't know it, so I just think it's normal......" Ming Qi said and turned his head towards the three oncoming people, "Daodao, Sister Fuqing, Sister Qu Ye, you are back!" ”

Daodao? Is it calling for swimming? Chu Xiao's old doubts were unsolved and new questions were added, and she thought that this might be another name for Youqi, just like relatives and friends sometimes call a person by a nickname for intimacy. Chu Xiao felt in his heart that "Daodao" was much easier to call than "Youqi".

You Qi looked very tired, it raised its eyes, erected its long tail, and nodded it with its pure white tail tip, as if in response to Ming Qi's words.

The two women beside You Qi looked to be in their twenties, and they both smiled kindly at Ming Qi and Chu Xiao.

"It's a new friend," a woman looked at Chu Xiao with a smile, "We have something important to do now, so I won't tell you yet." ”

"Well, we'll make small talk together when you have time." Ming Qi responded.

Chu Xiao smiled and nodded with a slight jerky smile on the side.

You Qi walked in front again, and Fuqing and Qu Ye also followed behind it. You Qi didn't look at Chu Xiao much, and when it passed by Chu Xiao, it casually swept Chu Xiao's calf with its long tail.

Chu Xiao wanted to say hello to You Qi before, but when he saw that You Qi couldn't see himself, he dispelled his thoughts. So for You Qi's action, Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then she turned her head to look at You Qi's back. "You're not still angry, are you? As for it? Chu Xiao muttered to herself.

Just when Chu Xiao looked at You Qi's back and was about to turn back, Fu Qing and Qu Ye turned their heads to look at Chu Xiao one after another. When the three of them looked at each other, Chu Xiao smiled a little shyly, while Fuqing and Qu Ye smiled kindly. Chu Xiao always felt that Fuqing and Qu Ye had a contradictory feeling that they seemed to know but seemed to be curious.

"Let's go." Ming Qi reminded Chu Xiao who stayed where he was.

"Uh-oh." Chu Xiao came back to his senses and continued to walk with Ming Qi.

The long stone arch bridge fell behind the two of them, and Chu Xiao remembered the question about the age of the people here.

"And how old are you to be adults? Three to one, you should have ...... Are you in your thirties? ”

"Thirty-five." Ming Qi smiled, "In the ordinary room, you are considered an adult until you are forty years old, and when you reach the age of sixty or seventy after adulthood, your appearance will slowly stop changing. ”

"Then you should all be in ...... Is it right to be in your twenties? After saying this, Chu Xiao suddenly thought of Yu Huan, Yu Heng is not like a person in his twenties.

"That's pretty much it."

"You can be young without any skin care products, amazing, amazing!" Chu Xiao suddenly thought of going back and bringing his grandfather to live in this space.

Ming Qi grinned, "But if a man and a woman get married, after a long time, both parties will slowly grow old like people in the yang world." ”

The two stepped on the blue-gray steps on the stone path, and Ming Qi led Chu Xiao towards the house on the left side of the gate.

"Huh? For...... What? Chu Xiao asked, while there was a vague answer in her mind, after all, knowing a little medical knowledge, she thought that it might be the effect of hormones, so she changed her words, "Then aren't there many people who don't want to get married?" ”

"No, it's normal for your face to get older...... Ming Qi pointed to a room in front of him, signaling that the destination of Chuxiao was almost there, "In short, you will understand many things slowly." ”

Chu Xiao listened to the person in front of him, with the face of a little brother, saying to himself something similar to his life perception, and it felt really not ordinary weird.
