Chapter 108: Encountering the Heart Lock Jade Again!
Leng Chitong hugged Squeak, squatted down carefully, reached out and took off the jade pendant worn by the little boy's waist, and looked at it repeatedly in the dark night in disbelief.
"Protection, heart protection!?"
Leng Chitong looked at the jade pendant in his hand in surprise, and almost said it half-shouting.
Squeaky but inexplicably silent, the rain kept beating her slightly pale white face, and her eyes were obviously full of thoughts.
She silently looked in the direction of the black shadow that had just appeared, and then turned around, through the heavy rain curtain, quietly looking at the frightened cold red pupils, deep in her heart were both afraid and contradictory.
At this moment, for Squeak, she was making a choice, either choosing to pick up this heart lock jade, or turning a blind eye.
It means that she has decided to fall into this quagmire, after all, she knows the horror of the force behind it best.
Turning a blind eye means surrendering and retreating.
At that moment, Squeak suddenly intended to retreat, not wanting to care about the peaceful and prosperous world that her grandfather was thinking about, and not wanting to pay attention to the so-called sinister dark forces.
Because she finally saw the reality clearly, she couldn't fight them at all, and she might even affect the love of her heart because of this incident.
At a certain moment, she suddenly had a simple thought in her heart: perhaps, regardless of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it is her wish to be with you, wander the world, and see all the prosperity.
"Squeak, why are you stunned? It can't be uncomfortable, right? The wound still hurts? β
Leng Chitong saw that Squeak suddenly thought deeply in a trance, and was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Squeaky sound, retracted thousands of thoughts, absent-minded, and slurred: "Oh...... No, it doesn't hurt that much. β
Seeing that Squeak was fine, Leng Chitong once again focused on the jade pendant, and there was a faint joy on his face, "Squeak, do you think we can rely on this jade pendant to get the flower jade bead back?" β
"Master, don't meddle in this matter!" When I heard the squeak, I suddenly seemed a little excited.
Leng Chitong was taken aback by the sudden change in mood of Squeak, "What, what's wrong?" β
Squeak stopped overdoing it, pouted, shook his head, and said no more.
"I, I said...... Have you both forgotten about me...... Painful ......"
Wang Yun saw that the crisis had been eliminated, but no one paid attention to him, a "severely disabled", and finally couldn't help but start nagging.
At this time, after a night of ups and downs, the sky has begun to turn white slightly, and the long rainy night is finally about to pass......
The people who slept sounded in the middle of the night, and the humid air gradually began to fill with the smell of fireworks in the world.
Leng Chitong, Squeak and Wang Yun quietly returned to the Tongfu Inn when no one found out.
Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Yunguang City were spreading the vision outside the door of the Drunken Soul Building.
No one knows why these old men of rich and noble families passed out early in the morning outside the door of the Drunken Soul Building, all of them looking unconscious.
Likewise, no one knows why the Drunken Soul House closed its doors overnight.
In their leisure time, people exchange heads and ears, speculate in private, and have different opinions.
At the same time, in the Tongfu Inn, Jiao Niang was quietly treating Wang Yun and Squeak's injuries, while Leng Chitong was sitting alone on the corner of the table next to Squeak's bed, looking thoughtfully at the heart guard jade in his hand.
Squeak lay quietly on the bed, looking sideways at the stunned cold red pupils, but he saw all his mannerisms in his eyes.
......
Two days later, one evening.
"No, eat an apple, it's really boring to see you lying alone in bed."
At that time, Qiu Rong'er's face was already slightly pale, and she walked into the squeaky room with a light smile, and handed her freshly peeled apple to her squeaky little hand.
Squeak glanced at Qiu Rong'er, she didn't smile at all, but looked a little worried, and took the apple in a daze, "Sister Rong'er, you ...... Isn't it hard to stay up at night for these two days......"
The squeaky eyes were unsettling, absentmindedly took a bite of the apple in his hand, and sighed inadvertently.
"Right now, it's important for you to heal your injuries, I can still get through it, don't worry."
Qiu Rong'er said calmly, although her face was haggard, her eyes still showed that heroic spirit that was not inferior to the past.
The squeaky little mouth was squeaky, and a rare trace of dazedness appeared in her eyes, "Sister Rong'er, why are there so many obsessions in the world?" You are like this, the grandfather in charge is like this, and so is Bai Chumo......"
"Maybe it's just for the pleasure of being alive? If you live for a lifetime without the slightest obsession, I'm afraid it's also boring...... It's just that some people's obsessions have been fulfilled, while others are destined to suffer the pain of asking for nothing but not being able to. β
At this point, Qiu Rong'er paused, withdrew her face, and a faint smile appeared on her slightly pale and weak face, "You little girl, stop thinking nonsense!" β
Squeak raised her eyes to look at Qiu Rong'er's pale face, which still couldn't hide her beauty, and nodded firmly.
"Sister Rong'er, I know that your pungent appearance on weekdays is pretended, but in fact, your mind is delicate."
Squeaky flickered his big eyes, showed a sweet smile, and after speaking, lowered his head and continued to nibble on the apple in his hand.
"No way, who let me grow up in a pile of men? If you don't pretend to be tougher, you will probably be bullied to death by those disciples of the Leng Villa! Brother, they can't protect me all the time, right? You have to know that there are many people who are secretly coveted by the only female disciple of the Leng Clan Villa like me, who are naturally beautiful! β
Qiu Rong'er deliberately exaggerated her expression and put on a helpless look, narcissistically stroked her delicate face of Sai Ruo Tianxian, and did not forget to spread her hands after speaking, trying to use her own humor to dispel the dull atmosphere of the two of them.
"Hehe, too!" Squeaky looked at the slightly funny look on Qiu Rong'er's face, and couldn't help laughing, and the sorrow in her heart suddenly dissipated.
It's just that, looking at it, Squeak suddenly couldn't help but be a little envious of Qiu Rong'er.
Because, she has a bravery in her that she can't hope for.
Qiu Rong'er can boldly pull Xu Ran, and ask him if he also loves herself in the same way, she is not afraid of no results, nor is she afraid that once she talks about it, she will part ways from then on, she has always lived so casually, but she is not naΓ―ve, and even in some things, she still sees it transparently enough.
In contrast, in the face of emotional squeaks, he is always afraid of wolves and tigers, not only worried that he may not get the results he wants, but also worried that he may not be able to continue to be with you as in the past.
"Huh? By the way, squeak, did you see that stinky boy today? My aunt seemed to say that she hadn't found him for a long time, and she didn't know where this stinky boy had gone without saying hello. β
Qiu Rong'er said with a grumbling heart, while taking out a red candy from the cloth bag around her waist and stuffing it into her mouth.
"Sister Rong'er, you really like to eat candy, be careful if you eat your teeth, you won't be beautiful then!"
Squeak leaned against the head of the bed, showing a smiling face, and teased casually.
"You little broken mouth, how dare you curse me? Be careful I tell the master of the house to go...... Hum! β
Qiu Rong'er smiled meaningfully at the squeak, obviously meaningful.
Squeaky didn't know that his heart had already been seen, and his little face was suddenly dyed crimson by shyness.
However, in the next second, Squeak instantly changed to a nervous face, "Sister Rong'er, you ...... What did you just say? The host went out today!? β
Qiu Rong'er sat on a wooden chair, one right leg on top of her left leg, looking comfortable, with candy in her mouth, and said leisurely: "Who knows where he ran again, I haven't seen anyone all day, these two days, I always see him not in the inn, and I don't say hello when I go out......"
Who knows, as soon as he heard this, the apple in Squeak's hand fell to the ground in the next second.
"What, what's wrong?"
Qiu Rong'er looked at the squeak that suddenly became abnormal, and she didn't know what was going on.
Without saying a word, he hurriedly put on his shoes and ran straight downstairs to the inn.
"Shopkeeper, did the young man with us ask you anything in the past two days?"
As soon as Squeak came downstairs, he hurriedly asked the innkeeper about it.
The shopkeeper was startled by the sudden squeak, and when he turned around, he almost collided, and he was in a panic for a while.
"Oh...... Little girl, are you asking about the young man? It seems that he has indeed been asking me about the whereabouts of a rich boy for the past two days. However, there are quite a few big families in this Yunguang City, and I don't know which son he is looking for......"
The shopkeeper tilted his head slightly and recalled.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so he hurriedly pulled the wide cuffs of the shopkeeper and continued to ask: "Did he find the whereabouts of the little boy?" β
"I don't know about this, I saw that he went out early this morning, I guess he won't come back yet, right?"
The shopkeeper said, glancing out the door.
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't know the whereabouts of Leng Chitong, Squeak suddenly looked a little depressed.
"Little girl, the young man you are looking for, I saw him at the gate of the Wang family's mansion on East Street not long ago, and at that time, I saw from afar that he was talking to the youngest son of the Wang family......
At this critical moment, an old woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind Squeak.
Squeak was so anxious that he didn't even have time to thank others, he just ran out like a fly.
Seeing this, Qiu Rong'er was not verbose, and left the inn with her squeaky footsteps.
Along the way, the two of them did not hesitate to consume their internal strength to activate the transfer technique, and they quickly advanced a large distance and reached the location of the royal mansion as fast as possible.
In order to avoid wasting too much time, the two even sneaked directly into the palace.
In the garden of the backyard, a chubby boy was blindfolded, happily playing a game of hide and seek with two maids, and from time to time there were bursts of innocent, silver-bell-like laughter.
Squeak looked at him, and he was the little boy who was wearing the heart lock jade a few days ago.
Before he had time to think about it, Squeak suddenly turned into a red light and fell on the beautiful garden, and in the blink of an eye, he brought the little boy to the top of the ginkgo tree in the royal mansion that was more than ten feet high.
The little boy reached out and hugged Squeak, who was standing beside him, and grinned happily.
"I'm finally ......"
The little boy thought he had succeeded in catching the maid, and was about to cheer happily, but his mouth was covered by a squeak.
