Chapter 475: Just Relatives
At the moment when Xu Dong descended from the rock wall to the platform, Qiao Yanxue quickly started to walk back from the second gap.
In fact, Qiao Yanxue's "curiosity" about Xu Dong was there as early as the beginning of her recovery from her injuries, and the most incomprehensible thing for Qiao Yanxue was: when she was hanging on a branch, how did Xu Dong climb such a steep cliff and take her next.
Qiao Yanxue couldn't figure out any of the answers, and until now, Qiao Yanxue finally got the answer to this riddle.
In Xu Dong's hand, there is a stick that pokes a stone like a tofu!
What kind of "high-tech" thing is that, Qiao Yanxue doesn't know, but Qiao Yanxue knows, there are definitely few things like this in the world! Like his own treasure clothes and the armor that he just arrived, I'm afraid they are all unique treasures.
Xu Dong still has such a baby!
This surprised Qiao Yanxue very much, the stick was more than two feet long, but she had never seen Xu Dong take it out on weekdays, where was Xu Dong hiding?
Don't say that Xu Dong can play magic, a stick that is more than two feet long, even if it is hidden on his body by magic techniques, it will definitely not go without a trace, not to mention, during this period of time, Xu Dong has not been less "sharing the same bed" with himself, but he has never found that Xu Dong has this stick hidden on his body, isn't it strange?
There was another thing that shocked Qiao Yanxue: Xu Dong's arm strength!
Qiao Yanxue remembers very well that when she first met Xu Dong, Xu Dong was powerless at all, however, in just a few months, the strength in Xu Dong's hands was dozens of times greater than herself!
Not to mention anything else, if you were climbing this section of the rock just now, if you didn't have any insurance, you would never be able to do it, at least, there would be no way to climb to the height of Xu Dong.
Xu Dong can climb to such a height and come down easily, which shows that Xu Dong is very confident, and such confidence comes from the strength of a pair of arms?
Qiao Yanxue didn't dare to imagine Xu Dong's self-confidence.
So in addition, what else can Xu Dong fight to support that kind of self-confidence?
Relying on the treasure clothes he gave him to ensure that he would not be thrown to death, if it was based on this, Qiao Yanxue could conclude that it would not be Xu Dong's character, because it was not called self-confidence, it was called arrogance.
The two-foot-long stick, where was it hidden on Xu Dong's body, and how confident Xu Dong was, these two questions were entangled in Qiao Yanxue's mind, and it seemed to have become Qiao Yanxue's "heart disease" for a while.
Back at the entrance of the cave, Qiao Yanxue kept churning these two questions in her mind while boiling ginseng soup food.
When the food was almost cooked, Xu Dong came back with a smile.
"It'......s so fragrant," Xu Dong said, looking a little tired and hungry.
It's no wonder that climbing a rock wall is an extremely exhausting thing!
Qiao Yanxue scooped a bowl of food and handed it to Xu Dong, while watching Xu Dong gobble up food, she asked cautiously, "Xu Dong, how is the way out?" β
"Ah......" Xu Dong swallowed a mouthful of food and said with a smile: "Very good, the situation is very good, it is estimated that in two days, we will be able to leave here." β
Xu Dong obviously just said this to comfort Qiao Yanxue, if Xu Dong was sad, he said directly: "There is no way, we may be trapped in this place...... wouldn't it be very disappointing.
Qiao Yanxue smiled slightly, when Xu Dong came down from the cliff, he was annoyed and frustrated, Qiao Yanxue could see it clearly, since Xu Dong was so annoyed and frustrated, obviously there would be no way out if he went up, besides, when Qiao Yanxue came back, Xu Dong wanted to find another way, it was impossible to be so fast.
Therefore, Qiao Yanxue can be sure that Xu Dong just doesn't want to tell himself what happened, and he is afraid that he will also worry.
But that's fine, of course, going out is going out, and it's not bad for the two of them to stay here for one more day, so Qiao Yanxue is a lot happier.
After Xu Dong finished eating, Qiao Yanxue ate some of the remaining food, and added a few boxes of wood to the bonfire to burn the bonfire a little stronger, Qiao Yanxue said to Xu Dong: "Xu Dong, you say, what kind of relationship is the relationship between the two of us?" β
Xu Dong was stunned, the relationship between the two of them is really difficult to say, let's say it's a friend, in fact, it obviously exceeds a lot of "friends", say it's a "lover" or "couple" or something, but it can't reach that Cheng dΓΉ, which makes Xu Dong unable to answer the question of what is the relationship with Qiao Yanxue.
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Dong smiled wryly: "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" Hehe...... What are you thinking about all day long? β
Qiao Yanxue sighed, it was very rare that she didn't get annoyed immediately, but said lightly: "Xu Dong, what kind of relationship do you position me in, this question is very important to me, can you answer me seriously?" β
Xu Dong thought for a while, and then said: "It's a relative, the closest and closest kind, just like the fat man, the boss, and Qiu Xia, I regard them all as my relatives in this world." β
The answer of "relatives" obviously makes Qiao Yanxue still not very satisfied, very close friends can also be said to be "relatives", just like the fat man and Xu Dong brothers, it can also be said to be the relationship between Mu Siqing and Xu Dong, and even Xu Dong's love for Sang Qiuxia and their family.
Obviously, Xu Dong used "relatives" to answer Qiao Yanxue, which was a bit perfunctory, and Qiao Yanxue didn't know this.
"Xu Dong......" Qiao Yanxue forcibly endured a feeling of annoyance, and said softly: "I gave you the secrets that can cause a sensation in the world without reservation, and you just regard me as a 'relative'!" β
The secret that can cause a sensation in the world, that is, the treasure dress that Qiao Yanxue gave to Xu Dong, if it is made public, it can indeed cause a sensation in the world, and Xu Dong naturally understands this very well.
However, when Xu Dong heard what Qiao Yanxue meant, he said that he would "give" the treasure clothes to himself, not "lend" them, and he was suddenly happy.
To tell the truth, Xu Dong has a lot of troubles about this treasure dress that has helped him through countless dangers, and sometimes, Xu Dong even thinks about why he didn't just marry Qiao Yanxue, so that he doesn't have to worry about whether the treasure clothes are Qiao Yanxue's or his own, they are all his own family, and whoever wears it is the same.
However, after marrying Qiao Yanxue, what is the promise of Mu Siqing, "the boss of the wife", it was said by himself!
During this period of time, Xu Dong did everything possible to be courteous to Qiao Yanxue, that is, he hoped that Qiao Yanxue could directly give this treasure to himself for the sake of saving his life.
Of course, this is also one of the aspirations.
Don't say that this is black-bellied and selfish, if you don't meet enough things that can make you tempted and can't get by racking your brains, everyone can be selfless, and if you do, everyone will have a black belly, everyone will calculate, and everyone will want to keep it for themselves.
Xu Dong lives in modern times, how many modern people are not like this, and Xu Dong naturally cannot be extraordinary.
Now, Qiao Yanxue has said it herself, this treasure dress is "given" rather than "borrowed", how can Xu Dong not be overjoyed.
However, Qiao Yanxue then continued: "My heart is sincere enough, Xu Dong, you are hiding a lot of things from me. β
"Ah......" Xu Dong was not only happy, but also a little surprised, and couldn't guess what Qiao Yanxue meant for a while.
After a long while, Xu Dong asked, "Miss Qiao, I don't understand what you mean. β
"Pretend, you continue to pretend, just think it's me and I don't meet people......" Qiao Yanxue sighed: "I have no reservations about you, but you hide it from me, alas...... The human heart is not ancient......"
Xu Dong wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't laugh, and after a while, Xu Dong said: "Miss Qiao, I know you have a question to ask me, just say it, let me guess the riddle, hehe...... I'm lazy. β
"Well......" Qiao Yanxue was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Okay, let me ask you, can you show me the stick you used?" β
As soon as Qiao Yanxue asked, Xu Dong froze suddenly, that stick, Xu Dong had long been listed as one of the few treasures that could not be shown, and even if it was not in a critical situation, Xu Dong resolutely did not take it out and use it, so, under normal circumstances, even Mu Siqing, Fat Man and others had never noticed, and they couldn't imagine that they were still seen through by Qiao Yanxue after all.
Should I show it to Qiao Yanxue?
Xu Dong's face froze, and after a long while, he said: "This is a treasure that I accidentally got last time in Yunnan, you have to see, of course I can't hide my secrets." β
Since Qiao Yanxue saw through it, Xu Dong couldn't hide it anymore, after all, Qiao Yanxue gave the treasure clothes to herself without any conditions, and now Qiao Yanxue just wants to see, and if she pushes back, she can't say anything.
Xu Dong tilted his head, and then took out the stick, as if it was spit out of his mouth.
Qiao Yanxue watched Xu Dong pull out the stick almost without blinking, but she still didn't figure out whether the stick was "spit out" from Xidong's mouth, or whether it was hidden somewhere else on Xu Dong's body.
Taking the stick in her hand, Qiao Yanxue exhaled softly, looked at it carefully for a while, and then poked a stone the size of a basin beside her.
Hearing only the sound of "poof", the stone suddenly broke into several pieces, but Qiao Yanxue didn't feel any difficulty in her hands.
"Sure enough, it's a treasure of the world...... Qiao Yanxue took back the stick, took it in her hand and looked at it intently, and asked again: "Is there any origin of this thing?" β
Since he has seen everything, Xu Dong did not hide it, and he was very happy to see that adventure in Yunnan and told Qiao Yanxue about it.
However, about Mu Siqing's matter, Xu Dong inevitably exaggerated it a lot, and he just didn't say that he had crossed the circle with Mu Siqing.
It's not that Xu Dong deliberately pretends that he has a woman's relationship, the deeper his relationship with Mu Siqing, Qiao Yanxue will inevitably understand that with herself, she can only be a "relative" in the end, not a "lover", or a wife!
With such an early hint to Qiao Yanxue, maybe Qiao Yanxue will be sad for a while, but it is better than being entangled forever.
Who knows, this is just Xu Dong's assumption, Qiao Yanxue didn't pay attention to the plots that Xu Dong hyped up at all, and just asked about some details of the monster from time to time.
