Chapter Twenty-Five: Attempted Coercion
"Tap, Tap, Tap" ......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road outside Funiu Mountain, it was already dusk, and the sunset was still shining on the horizon, but the hazy moonlight had already appeared anxiously on the other side of the sky.
The hurriers were also very anxious, and the clues could be seen from the sound of the hurried horses' hooves, from the constant sound of the horsewhips, and from the tightly locked eyebrows of the passers-by that gradually emerged.
The person who galloped on the prancing horse was Zhu Qingyi, and today was the fourth day after separating from Lu Qingyu.
Originally, Zhu Qingyi's idea was to slow down the trip and cross Funiu Mountain on the fifth day, if the kid he picked out could get out of Funiu Mountain by luck when it was dark on the fifth day, it would prove that this person could be of great use, and he naturally wanted to bring him back to school as a big help for himself in the future. If Lu Qingyu still can't get out of the mountain after waiting for the fifth day and night, and in the early morning of the sixth day, it proves that this person can't meet his requirements, and she won't be taken to heart if he stays.
Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, just this morning, Zhu Qingyi's mentor sent a magic message from Qingshui City, telling her a big change, so that she had to change her plan and start to hurry up.
"Four days is too short, he can't do it, it's a pity!"
Zhu Qingyi sighed on the galloping horse, now that the situation is grim, even the teacher is almost unable to parry for her, then Lu Qingyu missed her because of this change, it is not a bad thing, if she really wants to return to school with herself, that is the real disaster is coming.
Although there was no hope in his heart, when he saw the intersection of Funiu Mountain and Luoxia in front of him, Zhu Qingyi still reined in the horse's reins and stopped for a long time in the dim sunset.
The glow gradually faded, Zhu Qingyi hesitated a few times, but still played with the horse's head and turned to the direction of Funiu Mountain, perhaps only at this time, can it be seen that this seemingly cold and arrogant woman is not a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but just an ordinary lonely and helpless woman.
The exit of Funiu Mountain was very close to Luoxia, and Zhu Qingyi only rode his horse for about a quarter of an hour before he could already see the exit from afar.
When he got closer, Zhu Qingyi reined in the reins of the horse, neighed the horse under his crotch, raised his front hooves, and stopped on the spot.
Zhu Qingyi sat on the horse, put his hand on the pergola, and looked around, but there was only a knee-high weed around, which did not grow tightly, swaying with the cold breeze, and there were a few small dirt bags not far away, the soil was green and yellow, and under the light golden sunset, it was desolate.
The trail leads straight to the valley of Funiu Mountain, which is deserted, and there is not a single ghost shadow.
"That's it!" Zhu Qingyi seemed to be a little disappointed and a little happy, then sighed heavily, and then no longer held on to the absurd expectations, turned the horse's head, and prepared to continue on the road.
It's okay in this way, I can bear my own suffering, and the teacher has already bothered me, so why bother others!
"Ang"!
Just when Zhu Qingyi was disheartened and was about to ride away, suddenly a horse's neighing sounded from not far away.
"Who!" Zhu Qingyi's originally chaotic mind was suddenly startled, and she suddenly turned around and shouted angrily towards the source of the voice, "Who is hiding there sneakily and won't let me come out!" ”
There was silence.
The sound just now was obviously coming from behind the small dirt bags, but at this time, there was no sound at all.
"If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhu Qingyi was already a little anxious at this time, but there were still people here pretending to be ghosts with her, hiding, and this was okay, and suddenly a nameless fire surged from her heart, and she snorted softly, "Hmph!" Since you don't come out, then I'll invite you to come out! Ice Falling, Falling! ”
As soon as the words fell, a burst of white light suddenly flashed in the sky above the mountain bag, and an ice spike slowly appeared, and then fell rapidly, smashing straight into one of the mountain bags.
"Boom"! With a loud bang, the small dirt bag two or three meters high was suddenly cut in half by the ice spikes, and for a while the sand splashed, and the smoke and dust were filled, but there was nothing behind the mountain bag.
"Humph! Ice Falling Technique......" Zhu Qingyi snorted lightly, and was about to cast a spell again to sweep away those mountain bags, so that he could see what was going on.
"Don't, don't! Don't smash it! Don't bring it like that! But before Zhu Qingyi could finish reciting the incantation, two black shadows quickly rushed out from behind a mountain bag, and one of the black shadows shouted while rushing, and raised his hands by the way.
Zhu Qingyi looked at this person and couldn't help but be stunned.
The person who rushed out was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a cyan cloth coat, with a long figure, his face was covered with a layer of dust, and there were a few weeds, and he had a big flower face, but even this could not hide his bitter expression at this time.
This person is naturally Lu Qingyu, the Lu Qingyu who has always been sad.
"Lu Qingyu? How did you end up here! Zhu Qingyi finally came to her senses, and the absurd conjecture in her heart really became a reality, which is really incredible.
Lu Qingyu rolled his eyes, and without a trace, he led the horse beside him and moved a few steps to the side, and opened up some distance from the mountain bag where Fang was hiding, and then replied with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face: "Miss Qingyi, look at what you said, why can't I be here anymore, didn't you ask me to wait for you here?" ”
"But ......"
"Oh! But it's only the fourth day, isn't it? Lu Qingyu didn't wait for Zhu Qingyi to react, he quickly grabbed the conversation again, and continued, "That's right, today is only the fourth day." But Miss Qingyi, since you believe in me so much, and give me such a difficult test question, how can I disappoint you, and besides, a fairy like Miss Qingyi, I really don't see you for a day, so boy, I have been traveling day and night all the way, and I have just come out of the mountains. No, I happened to meet you, Miss! ”
Lu Qingyu said Zhu Qingyi stunned in the vernacular, and after being stunned for a while, Zhu Qingyi realized that it was wrong, so he asked suspiciously: "Really?" So what's going on with your horse? ”
"Huh!" Lu Qingyu blinked, decisively patted the horse's buttocks, and said with a smile: "Pick it up!" ”
"Picked up?" This reason really thundered Zhu Qingyi, and she suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, "You said you can still pick up a horse while you're in the mountains?" ”
"That is, sometimes people with good character can really make people jealous to the point of incomprehension!" Lu Qingyu rubbed the hair on his forehead and said with some distress, the expression on his face was really a little untwitching.
"Really?" Zhu Qingyi stared at Lu Qingyu for a long time, then carefully observed the situation around her, and suddenly smiled strangely, "I'm afraid there is something I can't understand, you haven't had time to tell me yet!" ”
"This, what does Miss Qingyi mean by this! I really don't understand! Lu Qingyu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he involuntarily took a step back, but he didn't let go of his mouth at all.
"Ice Falling, Fall!" Zhu Qingyi didn't talk to him either, and directly threw a spell over, and the target was the dirt bag where Lu Qingyu was hiding.
With a bang, the dirt bag was cut to pieces, and it was faintly visible that something was hidden behind it.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyu stomped his feet, and secretly said bitterly, the master's reputation is going to be ruined!
Zhu Qingyi originally just guessed casually and tried it casually, but when she saw Lu Qingyu's expression at this time, her curiosity was suddenly aroused.
So Zhu Qingyi turned over and dismounted and walked forward, to see what was hidden, this didn't matter, even with Zhu Qingyi's indifference after reading it, he couldn't help laughing, he still covered his mouth and chuckled at first, but when he looked back at Lu Qingyu's bitter gourd face, and then guessed the cause and effect, he couldn't help it anymore, and turned his back and didn't make a sound.
But her trembling body was ruthlessly telling Lu Qingyu a fact, that is, she was laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing miserably.
Lu Qingyu squatted on the ground all of a sudden, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and sighed with a red face: "Woohoo lament, you can't live if you do your own evil!" Sprinkle the house, pretend to be an attempt, how tragic! ”
Looking at Lu Qingyu's pretended melancholy face, Zhu Qingyi, who had finally stopped laughing, somehow, only felt that the dullness and distress that had been suppressed in his heart these days seemed to be suddenly much more relaxed, as long as he had a confident and optimistic attitude, nothing could not be solved. As long as you have a confident and optimistic attitude, then miracles can be created.
Just like the annoying boy in front of him, not only walked out of Funiu Mountain in four days, but also had the leisure to come up with such a ghost idea to tease himself.
He can, and so can I!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qingyi walked quickly in a few steps, turned over on the horse, and didn't look at Lu Qingyu again, just raised the horsewhip in his hand, shouted "go", and then jumped forward and galloped away.
Lu Qingyu looked at Zhu Qingyi's suddenly high-spirited Beiying, and was suddenly a little inexplicable, so he had to say goodbye to the unfinished work he left behind the dirt bag, and then jumped on the horse and chased Zhu Qingyi.
As the sun set, it gradually faded, and the last rays of afterglow shone through, illuminating the back of the earthen bag—
One top, rough and unfinished,
"Sedan chair" ......
