Chapter 56: The Secret of the Curse of Shahe County
Duanmu Jiya's hair was messy against her cheeks, and her clothes were already soaked, dripping water constantly, looking very wolfish.
Perhaps because of the low temperature in the burrow, she was trembling and hugging her arms at the moment, looking at the zongzi that fished her out at a loss.
That look contained resentment, grievance, and unwillingness, but it also carried a touch of worship, gratitude, and admiration, which made Gu Qi a little uncomfortable, so he took the opportunity to block the center of Zongzi and Duanmu's line of sight.
"You don't matter, do you?"
She asked about zongzi, in order to save Duanmu Jiya, his clothes were also wet, and they were also close to his body, outlining a tall and powerful figure, and his body exuded a deadly masculine atmosphere.
This kind of him is shocking, in stark contrast to his simple and delicate appearance, at this time he is more of an evil charm.
Noticing Gu Qi's burning eyes, Zongzi's still a cold and hard face suddenly softened, a smile spread on his lips, and he put his hand on Gu Qi's shoulder, letting the water droplets on the tips of his hair drip down.
"It doesn't matter if you're a zongzi, but the lady is worried about me?"
"Who's worried about you, I'm just...... I'm just more concerned about the shadow in the lake, and I don't know what it is? ”
Obviously, her face was full of concern, but when the words came to her mouth, she refused to admit it.
But it didn't matter, he had time to wait for her to answer in person.
"Alas...... Lady, you really have to be ruthless, even if you are like this, you might as well drown! ”
After speaking, Zongzi's eyes moved slightly, and while Gu Qi pouted, he turned over and jumped into the icy lake again, stirring up a thousand waves in the calm lake.
"Zongzi!"
Gu Qi exclaimed, she didn't expect Zongzi to really jump into the lake, although she knew that his water quality was not bad, but the temperature of the lake was too low, she was still a little worried, so she stared at the lake without blinking.
From time to time, the blue water of the lake was filled with a string or two of transparent bubbles, and although it had only been a few breaths, she felt like a year. Seeing that there was still no zongzi on the lake, Gu Qi nervously clenched his hands into fists, and almost put his face on the lake.
"What is this guy doing, why hasn't he come up for so long." Seeing that the zongzi hadn't moved for so long, Ge Hong on the side was also anxious.
He ...... No...... Isn't there really something going on? Gu Qi bit her lower lip tightly, and an inexplicable sense of loss suddenly came up, and she couldn't help but tremble a little up and down. Shake.
She was joking just now, how could she not worry about him, inexplicably came to this era, except for Xuan'er, I am afraid that she cares about him the most.
Seeing that there were still no zongzi in the lake, Gu Qi murmured to the lake almost in prayer.
"Zongzi...... Come up quickly, if you come up, I will no longer hide my thoughts in the future. ”
"Wow-"
Coldly, the lake in front of Gu Qi made a huge splash, and a familiar figure looked at her with a smile.
This time, Gu Qi no longer hesitated, and happily threw herself into Zongzi's arms, not caring at all that her clothes would be wet.
"Lady-" looked at the trembling in her arms. Shaking a ball, Zongzi touched her hair, and her clear face had a wry smile.
He still scared her, although he was really happy to see her caring for him, but that was not his original intention.
"Lady, look what this is." In order to divert her attention, Zongzi handed her what he had been holding in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?" Zongzi gave her a stone with a metallic luster, and there was a cool feeling in her hand.
"It was knocked down from the big rock at the bottom of the lake, you guessed it, it was a rock, but it seemed to be a little different from the other rocks around." Zongzi briefly told her what he had just seen at the bottom of the lake, and he wanted to hear what she thought.
The corners of this stone are extremely rounded, and the whole body is dark brown, which contrasts greatly with the milky white stalactites around it, and it is only such a small piece that feels that its weight is obviously heavier, but there is something very similar to this.
"If I'm right, this one could be...... Starfall. ”
"Starfall?" Everyone looked at each other, they had indeed heard of Starfall, but they had never seen such a large piece.
Gu Qi bowed slightly, this starfall is actually a meteorite, looking at the bright silver metallic luster on the surface of this stone, it is very likely to be the legendary meteorite, it can be said that in the era of cold weapons, if anyone can have such a large piece of meteorite, it is simply a mastery of the most cutting-edge weapon.
Maybe...... It is precisely this thing that the people of Shahe County want to protect.
"I see! I finally know what the curse of Shahe County is! ”
Gu Qi suddenly pulled the zongzi and jumped happily in the water, completely forgetting that there were still many spectators on the lakeshore.
"Girl, what the hell are you thinking, tell me about it?" Ge Hong's voice came, and Gu Qi realized that he and Zongzi were still standing in the water, and he hurriedly pulled Zongzi ashore with an embarrassed face, looking at everyone with some embarrassment.
"Tell me, what the hell did you come up with?" Qingquan is also very curious if this girl has solved the mystery of the curse of Shahe County, but looking at the current situation, the reason why this Shahe County has become what it is today is probably inseparable from the stones in this lake.
Seeing that everyone shifted their eyes to themselves, Gu Qi's lips opened lightly, and with a light smile, he showed everyone the small piece of meteorite iron in his hand: "Look, this is the curse of Shahe County!" ”
……
The little boy led Gu Qi and them back to their home, and as soon as they entered the door, the little guy hugged his grandfather and shouted.
"Grandpa, you know what? Thanks to the blessings of these nobles, we finally found the cursed secret of our Shahe County today, and I believe that it will not be long before our Shahe County can return to its former prosperous scene. ”
"Really? Huzi, are you telling the truth? The old man looked at his little grandson's confident look in disbelief, and then looked at the smiling faces of Gu Qi and his group behind him.
Seeing that everyone was nodding desperately, the old man was excited, knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and kept kowtowing to them.
"Living immortals, you are really the living immortals of my Shahe County, if my Shahe County can really restore its original appearance in the hands of a few nobles, my old man swears that he must stand a shrine for a few people, and worship a few people with three incense sticks a day, so that the descendants of my Shahe County will always be grateful in their hearts."
"Old man, get up quickly." Gu Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, then he helped him up, how could she stand such a kneeling as a young man, this is simply going to break their life.
"Old man, don't be in a hurry to worship us first, although we know the reason for this curse, we still have to borrow your help if we can restore it to its former state."
"Girl, just say it, as long as I can help the old man, even if I give up all the old man, I will not give up."
