Chapter 89: The Narrow Road

Three days have passed since I saw Jia Xuan that day.

In the past three days, Ji Ran has been closed, and Zhang Qining ordered someone to send him into the room for food.

"Deliver him food at the hour, even if you don't eat."

The guy at the inn answered. Fortunately, Ji Ran thinks about things and thinks about things, and the meals he brings in every day are eaten.

Zhan Suiyu looked at the empty bowl that Xiao Er brought out, and couldn't help laughing, "Although I still can't figure it out, it's better than at the beginning." Know to take care of yourself. ”

Zhang Qining: "If you don't eat, you can't go to heaven?" Only those who can eat when they are depressed can live well. ”

On the third day, Ji Ran "got out", and at that time Zhan Suiyu and Zhang Qining were eating the sweets that Lin Su bought. Zhan Suiyu didn't like sweets, so he just accompanied Zhang Qining, and when he saw him, he handed his share to him.

β€œ...”

Ji Ran shook his head, "No." He looked at Zhang Qining and said, "Miss Zhang, you actually know where Xue Qi is, right?" ”

Snow Qi. Hearing his title, Zhang Qining put down the food in his hand and nodded. Fools can see that Ji Ran likes Tao Xueqi, before he ran around like a headless fly, and he didn't even want to mention the other party's name again. At that time, Zhang Qining felt that it was better not to see each other.

Tao Xueqi knew Ji Ran quite thoroughly, and she must have expected that this would be the result, so she turned around and disappeared without hesitation.

"Now tell me, where is she?"

"To the west of the city, go around a row of old houses, surrounded by mountains in the north and water in the south. There is only one burned abandoned house of the Tao family, and you can see it as soon as you go. ”

"Okay."

After Ji Ran left, Zhan Suiyu asked, "We, don't go?" ”

"Hmm..." Zhang Qining finished eating the last piece of pastry in his hand and wiped his fingers clean one by one with a handkerchief. took a deep breath, smashed his tongue lightly, and suddenly held his head and said without a head or a brain, "You say, is there a secret room in the Tao family?" ”

"This... I don't know. Thinking that Jia Xuan said that Tao Xueqi's father might have a problem, Zhan Suiyu couldn't say it all.

In the end, the two followed, and when they found the place, the sun was already setting in the west, and the grass was waist-high and growing one after another, covering the half-burnt black old house, and it was necessary to use their hands to open it to see the outline of the house that was faintly exposed in the depths ahead.

As they got closer, the house gradually revealed its full picture. The weeds around are growing in a disorderly manner, the gate is still half left, and there is green moss growing on the charred black wood, through the patio to the lobby, there is not a single brick left on the roof of the lobby, and the sky can be seen directly through the barely supported beams, and the small rooms in the back are basically collapsed, and the condition of the large room is similar to the lobby.

"Tao Xueqi's physique can live here? Is her body okay? Zhang Qining couldn't help but say in his heart. I have the impression that her body seems to be weak and can't help the wind, and she is not very good. Lin Su said that the last time he saw her was here, and he never saw anyone leave. Spread out and look for it. ”

"She's always here?" Ji Ran looked at the gloom in his eyes, and Zhang Qining's thoughts were the same - can Tao Xueqi's body stand it?

Ji Ran glanced at Zhang Qining and Zhan Suiyu.

Zhang Qining: "Ji Gongzi, you are free, we will also help find it." Lin Su, let people go back and prepare another room, hot water, and things that girls can use at home, and ask the cook in the back kitchen if they don't understand. After Miss Tao finds it, there must be a place to stay. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Qining: "Lin Zhao, Ji Ran is over there, let's go over there to find it." ”

"yes, okay."

"Miss Zhang, please wait a minute." Ji Ran called out to her.

Zhang Qining looked back at him, "What?" ”

Ji Ran paused, stood up with his fists clenched, and saluted her.

Zhang Qining was flattered, raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised a trace of arc. "Ji Gongzi, are you...?"

"This has caused a lot of trouble for the girl, Daen-"

"Stop." Zhang Qining interrupted him, clasped his hands in front of him, raised his right hand and pressed his fingers against his chin. "Some of the things are actually quite embarrassing to say, so there is no need to say them. To a certain extent, I'm nosy, and there's nothing to thank or unthank. If so..."

She looked at Zhan Suiyu, suddenly smiled, and said, "If Ji Gongzi has some spare money, it is better to give a generous gift when I and Lin Zhao get married, and I will also receive the red envelope." ”

Ji Ran was stunned, slowly looked at Zhan Suiyu, and smiled a little helplessly. Where did he get this living treasure?

"It seems that I can't call Miss Zhang next time, brother and sister."

Zhan Suiyu looked at him with satisfaction, nodded and said, "This is good." ”

Ji Ran smiled at a rare ease these days, "Then I'll go here, and we will meet here in an hour." ”

"Okay."

Unhurriedly looking to the east for a while, Zhan Suiyu looked sideways at Zhang Qining, Zhang Qining pushed open a wooden stake, so that the small purple wildflowers growing below could see the light of day again, and they must grow better in the future.

"What's wrong? Kept staring at me from the beginning. Zhang Qining clapped his hands, twisted them, and cleaned the dirty things stuck to his fingertips.

"Do you really only want Ji Ran's brother and sister?" Zhan Suiyu smiled noncommittally. "It seems like a loss."

"It's rare to be kind, and it's okay if you don't fit in. In the future, there will be time for you to adapt, let's have a long future. Zhang Qining winked at him, and the tail note was deliberately dragged ambiguously.

Zhan Suiyu shook her head and put a finger on her forehead. "You..."

"What are we going to do now? What have you been looking for since you first started? Remembering what she asked at the inn, Zhan Sui Yu said, "Are you looking for a dark room?" ”

Zhang Qining responded, "Lin Su has received special training, don't look at how honest he usually is, he still has another face when he does things." If you put your skills on the rivers and lakes, you should be able to rank first, as long as Tao Xueqi is a human being, she will not be lost. ”

"But look at this place, does it look like a place where people can live? If I were Tao Xueqi, I would rather sleep in the wild than live in this dangerous house. In my opinion, it is more likely that she is a human being, otherwise she would not have pushed me down the river if she wanted to kill me in Suzhou-" Zhang Qining covered his mouth. It's not good, it's a leak!

"Extinguish the mouth, do it, push you down the river?" Zhan Suiyu's tone cooled down a little, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he chuckled, and stepped forward to hold down the back of Zhang Qining's neck. "Why, I've never heard you mention it?"

Zhang Qining suddenly looked like a cat pinched by the back of his neck, and he didn't dare to move. She looked back at Zhan Suiyu with a dry smile and coughed, "That... Brother Zhan, listen to my explanation. ”

"Huh? Okay, you say. I want to listen carefully to how you died, escaped, and lived. ”

Zhang Qining couldn't help swallowing her saliva and told Zhan Suiyu about her and Tao Xueqi that time, and sure enough, after listening to it, Zhan Suiyu's face immediately turned black, so heavy that she could drip water.

"I'm fine, and I won't go out with her if there's a problem." Zhang Qining took her hand and was coquettish, but Zhan Suiyu didn't eat it.

"She hurt you once, and you still want to help her?"

Even if Zhang Qining hadn't said it before these days, Zhan Suiyu should almost see it. It's not so much that she's helping Ji Ran, it's better to say that she's helping Tao Xueqi.

Zhang Qining let go of his hand, lowered his eyes and sighed, and said, "At that time, it was not enough to say that I sympathized with her, it was too fake to say so. Didn't I say that I was kind of like her, I just saw another self in her, so I just wanted to see what happened. ”

"Don't talk about it, I promise there won't be a next time. Brother Zhan, don't be angry. Zhang Qining raised his eyes and smiled. In short, I think Tao Xueqi has always been here. But you see that the walls of this pottery house have basically collapsed, and there is nothing left, and it is still intact..."

She lowered her eyes to the ground beneath her feet and hooked her lips. "Is there any other place besides here?"

Zhan Sui Yu looked around, and the layout here was the main courtyard of the house. Jia Xuan said that Tao Xueqi's father was very strange. So, this is Tao's father's yard. ”

"Yes. Then just find a place near here where the soil has been loosened, I believe that although Tao Xueqi left, he must have left a back road for Ji Ran. If he wanted to come to her, there must be traces. ”

Zhan Suiyu: "But you want to find her before Ji Ran." ”

Zhang Qining: "There's no way, you have to treat everyone equally, Ji Ran's appeasement is good, Tao Xueqi naturally has to be fair." Ji Ran is a little stubborn in good and evil, but she is blind and decisive when she is not decisive, and she is not decisive when she should be decisive. ”

Zhan Suiyu looked at the surrounding land and found a loose trace. "Here."

Zhang Qining touched around, "Formation? ”

What's going on with the Tao family? Specially hired a warlock to do it?

How could Ji Ran understand this kind of thing? Does Tao Xueqi want to see Ji Ran? Or is it...

"Things gather by like, and people are grouped. Think and don't want to, do you want or don't want to? These two people are really the same. Zhang Qining thought of something and couldn't help laughing.

Zhan Suiyu: "How about it, I have read so many books, do you understand the formation?" Can this be broken? ”

"Yes." Zhang Qining's fingertips pressed on the ground, groping along something. "Now, Ji Gongzi is really going to give us a big gift."

There was a sound from the ground, and a gossip map appeared under the feet of Zhan Sui Yu and the others, and along the lines in the center of the gossip map, a door slowly opened.

Zhang Qining: "Well, isn't this good. Let's go down. ”

How many books has this girl read? Zhan Suiyu thought that she had opened a bookstore in Lantai, and what about other places. It's really hard to imagine, how many books she has read and how many books she has collected in the past ten years?

The two of them walked down, and the blue fire flashed in the corridor, and I don't know what kind of fuel it was, giving people a strange feeling.

Zhang Qining: "Guess... What's in there? ”

Zhan Suiyu smelled a foul smell and couldn't help frowning. "I don't know, but it seems to beβ€”"

Zhang Qining smiled, "You see that this color doesn't look like a ghost fire swaying in front of the grave at night, this fuel is mixed with materials." ”

Zhan Sui Yu pulled the person forward, and immediately left the place, and walked to a place where the light was darker, but softer, and there was a coffin in the center there, on which a person with the appearance of a girl was sitting quietly.

She held a white bone skeleton in her hand, as if admiring a ceramic vessel.

Seeing them, Tao Xueqi was not surprised, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Miss Zhang is here, and there is also Gongzi Zhan." Hehe, Ji Ran is on it? ”

This Tao Xue Qi... It doesn't seem to be quite the same as what I saw before.

*

still remembers meeting the girl surnamed Zhang in Suzhou, Tao Xueqi could see at a glance that she was the same kind of person as herself, but it wasn't exactly the same.

"The two of us are just the opposite, it's better to watch each other as a show, and the result is a pastime."

"Life is not like this, I have nothing to do with myself, or watch other people's fun, or be treated as fun by others."

The karma that comes with you is heavy... Tao Xueqi didn't say anything, and even dared to bet with himself, which was really commendable. It's okay, in her words, it's all about having fun.

At first, Tao Xueqi really thought so. But...

The face reflected in the mirror became more and more pale, as if the blood had faded, and there was no living anger at all, only a layer of empty beauty skin remained. Tao Xueqi dipped her fingertips in rouge and gently patted it on her cheeks and dotted it on her lips, which made her complexion look better. But if you look closely, you will find that her complexion is a little abnormal.

It seems that the malice is not enough, and it has begun to devour the power of this body to support it. We've got to figure out something as soon as possible...

That's when it happened.

"Is there a place Xue Qi wants to go?"

She and Ji Ran have been in Suzhou for a long time, and because she didn't look good before, Ji Ran stayed for a while longer. Xu is looking at her a little absent-minded these days, Ji Ran thinks she is tired of staying in Suzhou?

However, his words reminded Tao Xueqi - change places. If you want that... There's a place where she's going to have a lot of money.

Tao Xueqi's afterglow gently fell on Ji Ran, and the girl from the Zhang family had been gone for a few days, but sometimes when I saw Ji Ran, I couldn't help but recall her look like she was in her chest, which made people a little irritable.

But there is no problem, except for her, no one in this world knows that Tao Xueqi is still alive, and Ji Ran, a fool, will not care about anything else.

Although Tao Xueqi thought so in her heart, she still didn't dare to be careless, as if she was influenced by Zhang Qining.

"Qingzhou, how's it going? There seem to be a lot of fun on the way, and I am a little curious. She mentioned it seemingly casually, while carefully observing Ji Ran's expression.

"Qingzhou, it's better to go to Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou is more interesting than Qingzhou." Ji Ran looked at Tao Xueqi with a smile, and after making sure, he went out first to prepare the things to be used on the road.

Tao Xueqi couldn't help but raise his lips when he looked at the back of him leaving, Qingzhou is adjacent to Zhengzhou, and there are more fun things than Qingzhou, Ji Ran would think that it was not an accident.

Zhengzhou... I didn't expect her to go back to that place. "Life is really impermanent." Tao Xueqi couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, and went back to the room to pack her package.

Originally, when Tao Xueqi met Ji Ran, she deliberately fell into the hands of the people, and picked a family that was not a good person at first glance and sold it. That's right, she just deliberately picked a mean place to sell herself. After all, there is enough malice there to fill her belly, and by the way, you can admire the ugly faces of people.

But she didn't expect such a beautiful plan to be ruined by Ji Ran who was passing by, but when he bent down to hold his hand, and with a smile on his face, he took out the only remaining coil on his body and ransomed himself from the hands of that family, she seemed to notice something different from what she had always been in her heart for a moment.

Is this man stupid?

Maybe it's good to experience people's ugly expressions once in a while, and stupidity seems to be a good seasoning.

"Girl, do you want to come with me?"

"Okay."

Ji Ran and Tao Xueqi, who had nothing left at that time, were really one who dared to ask and one who dared to respond.

Later, Ji Ran was really good to her, but he was also very good to others.

It's an eyesore to look at like this.

So, she turned his feelings for herself into something special.

Then her burden became heavier and heavier, especially the pair of jade bracelets. But she's happy to pack them in her luggage.

Until, she met the woman in Liao's family realm.

As a man, you really can't talk too much.
