Chapter 31: Go home in good spirits
October 17, 527 at 12:47 a.m
Hongying was packing her belongings in the bedroom, not forgetting to refold the quilt and put it in the closet. Marshall had just finished cleaning up the kitchen dishes and chopsticks, wiped his hands with a towel and left the kitchen, when he saw that Hongying had already put the packed luggage in the living room, but Hongying was not there.
He looked at Hongying's bedroom and cleaned up, there was no one either, he knew it must be in the magic field.
Hongying squatted in front of the small mound in the middle of the magic field: "Moon Stone, you have to work hard and grow well." All I can do is bury you here, and you'll have to grow up on your own. I'll come back to see you in half a month. After speaking, he got up and looked at this magical land, "Thank you, Motian." You were the one who healed my wounds. Thank you. ”
Marshall walked out with two suitcases and said to Hongying, "Why don't you let Mr. come and pick us up directly?" ”
"Have you forgotten that there was a magic circle on the way you came? Let's go directly to the hotel and wait for my brother. ”
"Isn't the magic array already broken?"
"I think the magic circle will definitely appear, after all, there are guardians who have been protecting this place."
Marshall said as he stepped on the path home: "We are about five o'clock in the afternoon with my husband, will we be a little anxious about the time?" ”
"Marshall, don't worry, we'll be out of here soon." Hongying's tone was full of confidence.
Although Hongying said that it would be fast, she still walked for more than an hour, and the soles of Hongying's feet began to feel pain.
Marshall asked worriedly, "We're not going to go to the magic circle again, are we?" ”
Hongying shook her head confidently: "I didn't feel so tired after walking for so long before, and this time, we definitely didn't go to the magic array." ”
Seeing the voices of people gradually appearing in the surrounding houses and farmlands, Hongying confirmed her judgment even more: "Look, there are people." I think we've already walked the fork in the road. ”
Hongying looked at the surroundings that seemed to be somewhat familiar, and then thought back to look in the direction of the magic field, the fork in the road leading to Peony Mountain was gone.
"Hongying, that road is gone, is it that the person you said who guarded the demon field used the magic array to destroy the fork in the road?" Marshall followed closely behind Hongying.
Hongying ran to a family that was doing farm work and nodded politely to them: "Hello, may I ask if there is a fork in the road to the south here?" Where does it lead? ”
The uncle stopped what he was doing and looked Hongying up and down before replying: "Little sister, there is only one way to go south, and that is the way to leave the Rose Kingdom and go to the Peony Kingdom." Don't get too close to there, there are knights stationed there. You'll get caught if you get too close. ”
"Ahh I see, thank you, uncle, for your hard work. Hongying glanced at Marshall as he walked north, "Let's go." ”
She whispered in Marshall's ear, "I think when we came, we were all the Guardian's phantom array from that fork in the road." She began to admire this guardian, "This guardian is too powerful, and he can use the illusion system, and it also contains a magic array, with such magic power, this is simply a guardian spirit." ”
Marshall frowned: "Why? Why did he do it? Knowing that we were going to plant a moonstone, so he deliberately lured us there? ”
"Presumably, maybe the moon stone was originally his. No wonder we were leaving, he didn't trap us. ”
"But what if we can't find the Demon Field again? You're not worried about the dean kicking you out of the college? ”
Hongying tilted her head to look at Marshall and thought for a while, then pursed her lips and shook her head: "Anyway, only the two of us know where the moon stone is and where the magic field is." If the dean's grandfather wants to drive me away, then let him find it himself! ”
Marshall was also a lot relieved to see that Hongying was not worried at all: "That's what I said, let's go to the hotel quickly." ”
They kept going north, but something strange happened: the restaurant where they had stayed was gone.
Marshall felt goosebumps stand up from behind him: "Oh my God, the hotel is also fake?" ”
Hongying puffed out her mouth and didn't speak, looking at a piece of farmland that was supposed to be a restaurant, she scratched her forehead: "Forehead...... If this hotel is fake, where will my brother pick us up? ”
Marshall was a little embarrassed: "Why don't we go directly to the entrance of Ye Tingfang and wait for Mr." ”
"What time is it, you hurry up and contact my brother, if he hasn't gone out at home, we'll go back early to surprise him." What do you think? Hongying looked at Marshall expectantly.
Marshall nodded and took out Xiang Risong's communication card: "Sir, are you at home?" ”
It took a long time for Xiang Risong's message to appear in the communication card: "I am in the meeting of the twenty-four councilors, and I will leave at about three o'clock, you take good care of Hongying." ”
"Yes, sir." Marshall put the card back in the inside pocket of his coat.
Hongying looked at Marshall: "What did my brother say?" ”
"Mr. gave the news that it was a meeting and that it would leave at three o'clock."
"Ah, it's almost two o'clock, let's go. We try to surprise my brother by going to the councillor before three o'clock. ”
Marshall roughly calculated the time: "It's too late, let's wait for Mr. to pick us up." ”
Hongying snatched the luggage from Marshall's hand: "I'll help you get it, let's run quickly." ”
"Hongying, can't we find a carriage? It could be a little faster. ”
"There's no carriage here, just a few steps away."
Hongying was holding a large, heavy suitcase, but her steps were light. Marshall followed behind panting, and couldn't help but sigh: It seems that he is really healed, his physical strength is so good, alas!
"Hongying, wait for me! You slow down. ”
Red Ying turned her head and smiled heartily, and with her magic lifted Marshall up, and he flew up behind Red Glow, like flying a kite.
Hongying had a great time, and Marshall felt ashamed and covered his face with his hand.
It took her only half an hour as fast as the carriage to pass through the southeast gate of the Dora district and return to the Dora district. She put Marshall down.
Marshall's face was a little haggard from the wind, he put his hand on Hongying's shoulder, and shook his head: "Hongying, why don't you discuss it with me." You're running too fast, aren't you? ”
She took Marshall's hand: "Marshall, are you okay?" We're going to go to the councillor's meeting now and go to my brother and surprise him, hehe. ”
"Let's go."
They walked along South East Street towards the lower ring road.
There are only three ring roads in the district of Dora, one of which is called the Castle Ring Road under the royal city, and most of the people living there are councillors. One is the Ring Road, where all kinds of nobles live. The outermost circle is a road built against a stone wall, where the stone wall that separates the Dora district from Yetei Fang is dense with trees and bushes.
Connecting the three loops are eight main roads in eight directions. The four streets in the positive direction are mainly commercial, and the roads for vehicular traffic are narrower. The remaining four streets are dedicated to vehicles. There are actually eight entrances that can lead to Ye Tingfang, but there are only two entrances that are really open, one is the entrance of Northwest Street, and the other is the entrance of Southeast Street that Hongying and Marshall have just passed.
They quickly turned left and walked onto the Chengxia Ring Road. The first place around the corner is the home of Xihaitang.
Facing Hongying were Meng Tianxing and Meng Tianyu, and Hongying saw from a distance that they were chatting happily. Meng Tianyu was carrying a large and beautiful gift bag in her hand, she actually felt a little sad, and a little jealousy sprouted from the tip of her heart.
Is that a gift for the stars? They have a really good relationship, and sure enough, he is only good to me because I look the same as his sister.
Hongying didn't say hello to them and disturbed their chat, but her eyes were reluctant to stare directly at Meng Tianyu, until they were about to pass by, Meng Tianyu turned her head to see Hongying, and she looked away in a little panic.
When Meng Tianyu passed by, the corners of Marshall's mouth twitched slightly, took Hongying's hand and whispered, "Hongying, do you want to buy some pastries to go back?" "Actually, it's not what you say, it's the action of the handle.
Meng Tianyu immediately turned his head to look at Hong Ying, and at the moment when he was about to stop Hong Ying, he saw her and Marshall's back holding hands and carrying luggage. He closed his mouth.
Meng Tianxing saw Meng Tianyu stop, and also looked back at him: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Tianyu couldn't hide his disappointed expression, but he still smiled reluctantly and said to Meng Tianxing, "It's nothing." Let's go. ”
Marshall looked at Meng Tianyu with his spare eyes, and then deliberately said to Hongying: "Isn't that Meng Tianyu and Meng Tianxing, when did they have such a good relationship?" ”
Hongying pouted, a little unhappy: "They are brother and sister, of course they have a good relationship." ”
"Then why do you look so unhappy?"
"I didn't. Let's go find my brother. The pace on Red Ying's feet quickened a little.
Meng Tianxing looked in the direction that Meng Tianyu looked over, and only then did he see that familiar figure. She glanced up at Meng Tianyu, said nothing, and continued to walk towards Ying Xing's house.
Meng Tianyu was absent-minded from the moment he entered Yingxing's house.
She obviously saw me, why didn't she greet me and avoid her gaze? Is it because of Marshall? They, they actually hold hands! They are master servants, how can this be?
He lowered his head and frowned, biting his nails unconsciously.
The maid of Ying Xing's family entered the living room with three cups of hot cocoa, Meng Tianxing was chatting happily with Ying Xing, and took out the interesting gifts he saw on the road and gave them to Ying Xing, and did not notice Meng Tianyu's abnormal appearance. But Ying Xing, who was sitting opposite, quickly noticed Meng Tianyu who didn't speak.
"Brother Tianyu, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Tianyu didn't react.
Meng Tianxing looked at Meng Tianyu and pushed him with his elbow: "Brother? Elder brother? What happened to you? ”
Meng Tianyu came back to his senses at this time: "En? What the? ”
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, nothing." Meng Tianyu still shook his head a little absent-mindedly.
After a while, he looked up at Ying Xing: "Sister Ying Xing, I'm really sorry, I suddenly have something, Tianxing, I'll pick you up later." After speaking, Meng Tianyu ran out of Ying Xing's house.
Staying in Mengtianxing and Yingxing, the two sat on the sofa and looked at each other blankly.
