Chapter 41: The Journey Home
"Hmmm......"
"Zixiu, are you trying to tell His Highness Cao Cao?"
You're not as natural as you seem, Miss Ji Meng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
I crossed my arms and wandered outside the door of my room. At this time, Retsuki had already come out of her room, and she should have asked Squint and Reciprocal Stars. Seeing that I hadn't entered the room yet, I couldn't help but get a little angry and pushed me.
"Since you still have to go back to get the Emperor Spirit Scroll, then Cao Cao will definitely follow, and if the ancestor of Xuande has to stay to protect Xinpingju, what are you hesitating about?"
"Boss Cao was against me going back to my hometown so early to find the Horcrux Scroll and the Emperor Spirit Scroll." I paused, "If it's because of the strange phone call...... Such a reason must not convince Boss Cao. β
Liyue shook her head, "Impossible, if we want to act, we three Horcruxes, we must have at least one Emperor Spirit by our side." β
"I know...... But! β
The door to the room suddenly opened.
"Outside the door early in the morning...... Wait for the scum! It's so noisy! "Boss Cao stared at me with red eyes, and he was still holding the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Is this a combination of the skill of getting up and killing in a dream and the contempt of the king!
Ji Meng and I pointed to the sun dumbfoundedly.
"It's noon."
Boss Cao glanced at Ji Meng, stopped losing his temper, and closed the door.
A few minutes later, Boss Cao walked out heroically.
"Say, boy, you seem to have something to discuss with Lone."
Well...... Why do you care so much about Ji Meng! I'm feeling a little uneasy......
"Yes." Boss Cao quickly agreed to our plan and sucked in a large mouthful of noodles, the noodle soup got stuck on Boss Cao's sideburns, and I really wanted to shave it with a razor.
Today's lunch is somen noodles.
It's a pity...... Among those of us, the only one who ordered cooking skills was Liu Bei with squinting eyes. He seems to be particularly satisfied with his skill in cooking somen noodles, talking the least, doing the most, and being a perfect wife!
"I'd like to hear Boss Cao's thoughts." I looked at Boss Cao with my cheeks raised to see what he was going to explain this time.
"Lone's investigation is over, so you can leave here with peace of mind." Boss Cao's explanation is light and light.
I smiled and shook my head, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, although you are a generation of traitors, your ability to lie is still very ordinary. Lying in the room and sleeping every day, I either play games or beat people, although I occasionally practice swords in the courtyard, but that's all. I pay attention to your daily action arrangement, how can you still have the face to say investigation in front of me!
"Sister...... There are also Sister Mengmeng, Brother Zixiu, and His Royal Highness Cao Cao, all the way safe! Mercy smiled and cheered us on.
After Hou Jing finished eating, when he heard that we were leaving, he sat there snickering, and he couldn't close his mouth. Boss Cao immediately cast a kind gaze with a dark face.
"If you dare to enter the room where I am waiting, you can try it, the lonely Heavenly Sword has not tasted the blood of the Great General of the Universe!"
Hou Jing smiled awkwardly, immediately shut up, and lowered his head to drink the noodle soup. Speaking of this guy's work...... It's just that he usually wanders around outside, collecting information about Horcruxes and Emperor Spirits who intend to withdraw from the Battle of the Emperor Spirit.
"Zining, have you been reading books obediently lately?" I wanted to touch Zining's hair, but suddenly my right hand was controlled by a force majeure, and I was suddenly pulled away.
It seems that Zi Ning doesn't like others to touch her hair......
Little Lori was eating noodles wholeheartedly, and Zhu Youxiao's left side of her face was swollen high, and snot flowed out of her nose from time to time, looking at Zining with a frightened face.
It seems that the relationship between the two children is getting closer and closer! I'm satisfied.
As for the poor Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, I don't seem to pay much attention to him. I patted Liu Hong on the shoulder, "You have to learn a craft, learn to cook or complain or something, in order to create a sense of existence in this new flat house." β
Liu Hong nodded submissively.
Cut. This guy definitely doesn't take my words seriously.
After all, according to the hierarchical division of Xinpingju, he is basically the existence with the lowest rank and the least power.
I? Let's go to the penultimate level...... Probably. Not counting those little ghosts.
A group of four of us said goodbye to everyone in Xinpingju and took the bus to the station to take the train.
Of course, the ticket between me and Boss Cao was borrowed from Ji Meng...... Even though their family is rich, I have to pay it back - it's a girl, after all!
Boss Cao's eyes swirled around on the train. It was his first time on a train, so it was so fresh.
Ji Meng's eyes also circled around on the train!
The eldest lady always goes out by helicopter and lengthens Lincoln, right?
That's right......
"Boss Cao, when the Battle of Emperor Ling started, you and I didn't meet for the first time, just because of this thing, right?"
Boss Cao nodded, "At that time, before Lone could react, your Horcrux left Lone at an astonishing speed. β
Well...... That's right. At the same time that Boss Cao appeared in this world as Emperor Ling, I happened to take the train back to my hometown, so I didn't meet Boss Cao until three days later.
Speaking of the girl on the phone...... At that time, I went back to my hometown...... I didn't notice any beautiful girls saying hello to me.
Could it be ...... Although her voice is sweet......
Hmmmm...... I shook my head.
Calm, calm, no matter what she looks like, even if it's really my first love or childhood sweetheart, now I only have Liyue in my heart.
Lianyue and Ji Meng sat side by side opposite me and Boss Cao, while Lianyue happened to sit opposite me, but she always seemed to feel awkward, and her eyes kept wandering away from the bustling crowd outside the car window.
"Little girl Ji Meng's purpose is willing to accompany us back to our hometown, we already know it." Boss Cao's words changed, "So...... Little girl, why did you go back to your hometown with us? "Boss Cao held up his cheeks with the back of his hand, cocked Erlang's legs, and tilted his head, this posture is 10,000 times more domineering than me!
"yes...... I want to know too! Sure enough, I still care! "Boss Cao's words aroused my expectations again.
We were all looking forward to Retsuki's answer. Retsuki turned her head to notice our hot gaze, pursed her lips, and suddenly became angry again:
"Huh? Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, what's so strange about this? β
The three of us sighed at the same time.
"Hey...... What is the attitude of the few of you? β
"Boy, do you have any relatives in State B?"
"Hmm......" I scratched my back, "There are a bunch of seven aunts and eight aunts, but they are all cousins, and the matter of the emperor spirit scroll and the horcrux scroll is also to find the patriarch directly, they are all stubborn old men, every time I go to the ancestral hall to worship, I have to pay tribute according to the rules, and I have to die in trouble, and when I see Boss Cao, your body, I can't kneel for seven days and seven nights." β
"But...... Doesn't this mean that Zixiu has always lived alone? "Ji Meng really still cares about me......
"My dad seems to have passed away six years ago, and then a friend of my dad picked me up and went to W City to study, so that I could finish boarding high school, and not long after I went to college, he also passed away."
In the past few years, I have sometimes missed the second middle school father......
But speaking of which......
She ...... I've been watching my relatives live my life, and I should have had a harder time than me.
My gaze fell on Retsuki.
Liyue was silent, and in her bright eyes, there was the scenery flying by outside the window.
Time flowed slowly, Ji Meng's excited mood finally slackened, shaking his head in a daze, and leaning on Liyue's legs for the last time, and soon fell into a sweet sleep, Liyue helped Ji Meng to pick up his long hair that was scattered, and the picture was very peaceful.
The wheels of the train slowly stopped turning.
"Is this what 'technology' is called...... Breathtaking. When he got off the train, Boss Cao didn't forget to sigh a few words. If I don't feel this moment, I completely forgot that you were a guy who was reborn through time.
Ji Meng took Lianyue's hand and walked around lively, this is out to travel; Boss Cao walked slowly in front of me with his hands behind his back, this is home; I'm the only one, pulling two trolley suitcases and two backpacks on my shoulders, just a coolie......
Ay...... As soon as I returned to my hometown and breathed in the fresh air of City B, I suddenly missed the days when I used to be a small clerk.
Get a fixed salary every day, a kind boss, and a colleague who is easy to get along with. has a house and a car, and a girl she likes, and has been working tirelessly to get her heart, although the days are dull, but they are very fulfilling.
Ahhhh......h That's not to say that I don't like my current life, since Boss Cao appeared, I have been around a lot more than before...... Many...... Friends who make friends from the bottom of their hearts.
"Zixiu! Hurry up! Ji Meng shouted my name.
I raised my head, and the eldest lady of Li Tang Tianxia was waving to me enthusiastically, while my beloved wife was staring at me with her arms crossed and her eyebrows furrowed.
Let's fight! Cao Zixiu!
It took us a whole afternoon to get to my hometown.
It's only been a month since I last went home, so why have all the trains and routes changed......
Because he took the wrong road many times, he was beaten several times by Rei Yue, and his nose and face were swollen, which was an unlucky sign.
"This time...... Don't have to take a car anymore, right? β
"No, no, walk through this field path and you'll be at my house."
Ji Meng is already close to a dying state. She crouched behind my suitcase and forced me to carry more weight.
"When you dialed that phone later, no one answered?" Boss Cao walked in the front, and I suddenly remembered some of the time I spent here as a child, and forgot to answer for a while.
Boss Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, I knew that this was a prelude to him wanting to hit someone, so he quickly replied: "Later, I called, and it has been turned off." Maybe it's out of power? β
After listening to my answer, Boss Cao didn't ask anything more, and moved his eyes to the field in the distance. The moonlight reflected on Boss Cao's slightly vicissitudes of life, which made me reverie...... Thousands of years ago, did he also run naked on this land?
"Boss Cao...... Are there any traces of a millennium ago? β
I looked at Boss Cao's back and shook his head when I saw him.
Hawkers, after all, it's a sea of vicissitudes.
"Now, that's my house." Everyone followed the gaze I pointed at, and it was a two-story house with a small front yard...... Although it was not big, it was more than enough for me to live with my dad at that time.
"Finally!" Ji Meng finally came to life, and quickly got up from the suitcase, "I'll help you carry it, go open the door!" β
Miss Ji Meng, you should have said this a long time ago!
Key...... Key.
I went down the field path with Boss Cao first. I often come back every few months to take care of this home, after all, this is my most important property!
In the shadows by the door, there was a sudden sound of rustling.
Uh-huh? Weasel?
No...... It was a figure...... I didn't even find out until now!
In the faint moonlight, the man's appearance slowly appeared.
A strange girl, probably ...... What does it look like to be fifteen or sixteen?
He looked a little haggard and walked a little unsteadily.
But under the pale complexion, there is a delicate face, and there is a charming crimson color in the pupils......
As bright as blood, but also as congealed as blood.
Chu Chu's pitiful demeanor...... People can't help but give love and caress her short dry hair.
"Zixiu?" "Cao Zixiu!" Not far away, the shouts of Ji Meng and Lianyue were heard.
Hey...... Am I?
The girl was wrapped in a rag and leaned into my arms, and I noticed that she was still clutching a small cell phone in her handβa model that should have been obsolete years ago.
"Sub-repair ......"
