Chapter 18: Trouble

Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Yuxi involuntarily, was silent for a long time, and nodded, "I know, you can rest assured to recuperate." ”

"That's right." Without waiting for Xia Yuxi to continue, Su Qiqiao directly diverted the topic, her little hand shook, and she touched her neck, and Xiao Jin was immediately brought up by her.

Xiao Jin looked confused, and after finding that he was brought out, he wagged his tail listlessly, just turned his head, and saw Xia Yuxi, "squeak", and quickly jumped into her arms.

"Kim!" Xia Yuxi touched Xiao Jin's fat little belly, shiny tan fur, with a look of disbelief, raised his head and looked at Su Qiqiao, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Su Qiqiao closed the door, lowered his voice, and told her everything that happened today.

In the end, Su Qiqiao's expression moved, and he took out the five-star pendant, which shook Xia Yuxi so much that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Even when I was in the palace before, I had never seen such a beautiful and delicate pendant!" Xia Yuxi let out a low sigh, his little hand brushed the golden corner of the five-pointed star, and the pure jade that was as white and flawless as glass, and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this ...... Five Elements Pendant!"

"What five-element pendant?" Su Qiqiao was taken aback, as if he understood seven or eight points, "You mean, this pendant is related to the Five Elements Zodiac?" ”

Xia Yuxi nodded heavily, her eyes rippling with a dazzling look like a jewel, "You can't be wrong, the five corners of this five-pointed star correspond to the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the five elements, which are the corresponding five elements of the zodiac!" And its function is that it can be used to subdue and nourish the five elements of the zodiac for its own use. ”

Su Qiqiao was shocked when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react, clutching his chest, and the expression on his face was wonderful for a moment.

She never thought that such a pendant dug out of the vegetable field would have such a big origin, no wonder Xiaojin was so happy when she pulled the pendant that she got carried away and laughed directly.

"Although there has been a legend of the Five Elements Zodiac on the mainland, no one has ever seen it, and it is difficult to verify it from the book, so this legend has a bit of an empty element, but I have seen those records in the ancient books of the Royal Library Pavilion, as well as the appearance of the Five Elements Pendant, so I will not be mistaken."

Xia Yuxi was fascinated, stroked the pendant, and almost sat up excitedly.

"I see." Su Qiqiao muttered to himself, and then became happy, "Yuxi, now that we have the Five Elements Pendant and Xiaojin, we can leave this ghost place sooner or later." ”

Xia Yuxi's expression was overjoyed, and she suddenly thought of something, her face turned pale, and she said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's too late......"

"What's late?" Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, sat down and asked.

"Huh? It's okay...... It's okay. Xia Yuxi quickly concealed the strangeness just now, and her face suddenly became serious, "Sister Qiqiao, in fact, I have always had a wish, I hope to ...... One day, I will be able to take the trust placed on me by my father and the emperor to rescue the royal relatives of my Haoyue Kingdom who are slaves and maids in the enemy country. ”

Su Qiqiao's expression trembled, "So, after you escaped, your purpose all along has been to ...... Restoration?!"

“…… That's right!" Xia Yuxi's heart was pounding, and he nodded without hesitation, with an astonishing killing intent in his eyes, and said coldly, "In addition, I also want to explore the truth about the destruction of the country back then, find out the real culprit behind the betrayal of the country and seek glory, so that my father can know about it." ”

Su Qiqiao's pupils twitched and nodded, "So, this is the reason why you have always wanted to save Xiao Jin even if you risk your life?" ”

“…… Be. Xia Yuxi's voice trembled, and a tear fell on the futon, and soon soaked a large ......

On the horizon, a touch of golden sunlight passed through the windowsill, and they heard the sound of Mrs. Wang coming from a distance.

Su Qiqiao covered Xia Yuxi with a futon and was about to leave, when suddenly Mrs. Wang crossed in front of her, glanced at Xia Yuxi, and said to Su Qiqiao indifferently, "Su Nizi, it's been two days, why hasn't this girl woken up yet, lying like a corpse every day, who is pretending to show it?" ”

Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, Yuxi is not lightly injured, and today is her birthday, you can open the net and let her rest for two more days." ”

"Poof!" When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately laughed angrily, "Birthday? How expensive is that? I really thought I was a daughter, and I had my birthday, and I thought about being lazy and shameless to lose money. ”

After that, Mrs. Wang turned her head and looked at Su Qiqiao, "It's not okay to go on like this, so let's do it, if she doesn't get up for a day, you have to do the work of two people a day, carry water, feed the pigs, chop firewood, needless to say, in addition, clean the corners of the yard for me, wash my clothes and then go out to beg, do you hear!"

"I heard it...... Su Qiqiao clenched his palms, with a cold face, and strode out of the hut without saying a word.

"Shhhh I can't cure you yet? Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, sneered, and walked out of the hut with a swagger.

Su Qiqiao took a broom, and took advantage of the fact that the sun was not too poisonous in the morning, and hurriedly cleaned up in the courtyard.

"Sister Qiqiao, why don't I help you." Xiaolian walked over with a sympathetic face, she didn't go far at that time, and heard the mean words of Mrs. Wang.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Su Qiqiao touched the sweat on his face, and raised his head weakly, "If you are free, help me take care of Xia Yuxi more, I am afraid that Mrs. Wang will trouble her again." ”

"Okay then." Xiaolian was helpless, nodded, and was about to leave, when her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Zhao."

Xiaolian looked overjoyed, looking at the person who came, Su Qiqiao was also surprised, and raised her head to see Zhao Ping.

Zhao Ping nodded, walked over, his face was a little unbearable, "That, my mother is embarrassed for you again." ”

"Luckily, I can handle it alone." Su Qiqiao was stunned, "It's okay, I can understand her doing this, I do need to do the work of two people." ”

"So, do you need me to do something for you?" Zhao Ping Junlang's face turned slightly red.

"No need." Su Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked away.

"Then, Brother Zhao, I'll go too." Xiaolian was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

Zhao Ping's expression darkened, and he didn't speak, and walked straight to the firewood room.

Here, Mrs. Wang saw Su Qiqiao's busy appearance from a distance, and sneered, "Is this still the birthday?" Phew! I don't look in the mirror to see my ugly face, I feel ashamed. ”

At this time, it was still early, regardless of men and women, everyone was working, and when they saw Su Qiqiao's appearance, they all shook their heads, so much to live, I am afraid that this Su Qiqiao will beg for less than six copper plates.

However, although they sympathized in their hearts, they were helpless, after all, they were not happy, who would have the leisure to help her.

It just so happened that Pei He had just finished picking firewood and happened to pass in front of Mrs. Wang, and when he heard this, he followed Mrs. Wang's gaze again, and just happened to see Su Qiqiao, and couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the two younger brothers next to him, "What birthday?" ”

Both men shook their heads.

Pei He was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he pulled the big brother who was feeding the chickens, his face was not good, "Big brother, aren't you the most clever?" Mrs. Wang said that who is going to celebrate his birthday? ”

"I ......" the big brother blinked his eyes and looked innocent, "I don't know ...... either"

"Useless stuff." Pei He shook him off, took out a copper plate for himself, and sighed, "I originally wanted to treat you, but in this case, I still ...... with others."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back!" The big brother didn't feed the chickens anymore, and ran away with a swish, but after a while, he turned back and said excitedly, "Boss, I heard that it's Xia Yuxi's birthday today." ”

"Xia Yuxi?" Pei He frowned, "You said that ugly woman with scars on her face?" ”

He originally thought that Su Qiqiao had celebrated his birthday and took this opportunity to take revenge.

"Well, yes......" The big brother nodded, snatched the copper plate from his hand, and slipped away.

"Hello? Are you guts? Pei He was taken aback, and before he could react, the guy disappeared directly.

"Boss, if you want me to say, isn't this Xia Yuxi a friend of Su Qiqiao? We can ......" The younger brother next to him smiled and whispered.

"Seconds!" Pei He smiled coldly, "Let's go, let's go and send a surprise to this Xia Yuxi." ”
