Chapter 56: Anecdotes from the Back Mountains
"Xiao Qiang, help me move this table, I'll wipe it with a rag." Zhao Qingyan was wearing gloves, and she had some difficulty trying to move the abandoned tables and chairs in this humble warehouse, but obviously did not move at all because of her lack of strength. can only say hello helplessly to Xiao Qiang, who was sweeping the floor on the side.
When Xiao Qiang heard this, he hurriedly came to her side and helped her drag the table and chairs out together. Seeing the faint sweat on her forehead, he opened his mouth with some distress and said, "Qingyan, I said that I would do the heavy and dirty work, why didn't you listen?" The warehouse has not been cleaned for more than half a month, and the dust has piled up again, and it will not be possible to finish wiping it in a while. You said that you too, Xia Yao obviously deliberately commanded your army just now, why do you have to agree? ”
Zhao Qingyan glanced at him, and said with a little red because of the stuffy face, "Xia Yao has already said it to death, what can I do if I don't agree?" Anyway, it's the same for the cleaning, let's just contribute. ”
"Qingyan, you can't have this mentality, you will always suffer a loss." Xiao Qiang was a little helpless, Zhao Qingyan was good at everything, but her heart was too soft and gentle, she was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Xia Yao, and she always suffered losses, even he couldn't stand it anymore, and complained, "I don't know what's going on with Xia Yao, I seem to have a deep grudge against you, and I feel like enemies to each other when I am against you everywhere." It's all classmates, so it's necessary! ”
Although Xia Yao provided the opportunity to have close contact with Zhao Qingyan this time, he really didn't appreciate her at all, but became more and more disgusted with Xia Yao's strength.
Zhao Qingyan chuckled, didn't say anything and wiped the table, just after Xiao Qiang sighed helplessly, she suddenly said, "Actually...... Xia Yao and I have known each other for a long time. ”
Xiao Qiang's eyes were fierce, he looked up at Zhao Qingyan who was bowing his head, and exclaimed as if he didn't expect it at all, "What did you say?" You and Xia Yao ...... Already known? ”
"Hmm......" Zhao Qingyan stroked her bangs and smiled at Xiao Qiang with a reluctant smile, "Our kindergarten, elementary school and junior high school are all classmates. ”
"What???" Xiao Qiang's mind was a little dizzy when these words exploded like a bombshell, and he couldn't believe it, "This ...... So, you, you've been ...... since you were a kid."
"She and I have been friends since childhood, but because of something, she regarded me as an adversary." Zhao Qingyan's expression was a little gloomy and said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to meet her again in my junior year of high school, and I would become a classmate again." Fate is really a very magical thing, and she hasn't given up yet, so I can understand my complaints. ”
Oh, my God! Xiao Qiang couldn't help but let out this cry in his heart, he finally completely understood why Xia Yao would return to Yongan County, and why he chose to come to Yongan Middle School and choose his class! It turned out that after a long time, Xia Yao's coming to Class 2 of the third year of high school was probably not her father's will at all, but she chose it on her own initiative!
Why? In fact, it's because Zhao Qingyan, who used to be her opponent from childhood to adulthood, can also be said to be a friend, is here!
This can indeed explain it very well, just with Xia Guohang's love for Xia Yao, if Xia Yao is unwilling to come to Xiao Qiang's class, how could Xia Guohang force her to come? So what Xia Yao said to Xiao Qiang before was all nonsense, this little girl just wanted to get close to Zhao Qingyan and become her opponent again before she came to this class!
"I see...... No wonder she targets you so much......" Xiao Qiang really felt a little speechless, if Zhao Qingyan hadn't said this, he would have been kept in the dark by Xia Yao for I don't know how long!
As soon as he thought of Xia Yao, Xiao Qiang gritted his teeth with hatred, this little witch simply deceived him! At this time, he was a little puzzled and said, "Qingyan, what is the deep hatred between you and Xia Yao, and you want her to go against you like this?" ”
Zhao Qingyan shook her head, as if she didn't want to tell Xiao Qiang about this. Xiao Qiang also knows that this is a secret between them, and he is not Zhao Qingyan, so what qualifications do he have to understand? Even if he understands, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to resolve the grievances between the two sides!
There was no topic, and the two gradually put away their minds and began to work hard to clean the warehouse that had been abandoned for an unknown number of years. Speaking of which, this warehouse is really Xiao Qiang's blessed land, after being bitten by the golden monster snake, he obtained a magical jade pendant, which gave him special abilities, otherwise he would still be a useless poor ** silk now!
Xiao Qiang didn't pay attention last time, but this time he really worked hard to clean up, mainly because he wanted to see if he could find the origin of the jade pendant on his body, and secondly, he also wanted to try his luck, maybe he found some treasure again, and then he sent it!
But unfortunately, after trying to clean it all over, I didn't find anything other than some futons and ordinary utensils for Taoist priests in some dilapidated boxes.
"When I was still in my second year of high school, I once heard some senior sisters say that this was actually a wasteland before Yongan Middle School, and there was originally a Taoist temple here in the back mountain, but it was abandoned after a long time." Seeing Xiao Qiang studying those Taoist tools, Zhao Qingyan said, "This scrap warehouse may be rebuilt from the original Taoist temple, and it is actually normal to find the items used by Taoist priests from here, so there is no need to make a fuss." ”
"Hehe, I said, why are there things for Taoist priests here." Xiao Qiang smiled on his lips, but he secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that the jade pendant and the golden snake in his neck were also things from the original Dao Temple?
There was obviously no answer to this doubt, so he had no choice but to put these Taoist utensils back into the old box and clapped his hands and said, "The warehouse is finally cleaned, let's go, go to the sightseeing pavilion on the top of the mountain back to clean it and you can leave school." If you don't want to rest here, I'll go alone. ”
"Well, let's clean up together." Zhao Qingyan did look tired, but she still insisted on going together, and Xiao Qiang couldn't refuse. What's more, he wished he could stay with Zhao Qingyan longer!
In addition to the warehouse converted from the original Taoist temple in the back mountain, only the pavilion at the top of the mountain is a more conspicuous building. In fact, the back mountain of Yongan Middle School is not high, but because it is relatively steep and has several cliffs, it looks quite imposing, not to mention, and the vision is relatively broad. I'm afraid that's why a pavilion was built on the top of this mountain.
The pavilion is very small, only more than two meters high, and the area is not large, so Xiao Qiang and Zhao Qingyan took a broom and began to clean along the edge of the railing, which is estimated to be a matter of ten minutes. Compared to the abandoned warehouse, this place is undoubtedly much easier to clean.
"Sand ...... The sound of "sand ......" sweeping the floor sounded around the pavilion, Xiao Qiang lowered his head and swept the ground carefully, his mind was full of speculation about the relationship between Zhao Qingyan and Xia Yao. According to Zhao Qingyan, Xia Yao and she have been classmates since childhood, if you follow the script of normal people, then it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them are small, but why are they the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, who has become a relative opponent everywhere?
Originally, Xiao Qiang thought that Xia Yao was jealous of Zhao Qingyan's appearance and academic performance, so he wanted to challenge her, but now it seems that ...... I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Xiao Qiang, who was thinking wildly, swept along the edge of the pavilion, and gradually got closer to Zhao Qingyan unconsciously, and at this time, Zhao Qingyan seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't pay attention to looking up, but the two of them were getting closer and closer without knowing it, and they were about to collide together!
