Chapter 7 Chi Qingqiu
There was a thunderclap above the sky without warning, and the wind sounded from far to near, and soon, the raindrops the size of beans rushed to the ground.
"It's rainingβ" exclaimed a child.
The pedestrians, who had not found a place to hide, were suddenly drenched in the rain and quickly dispersed.
The woman who had just come down from the attic stared at the sudden heavy rain, her brows furrowed slightly.
The woman thought for a moment and immediately made a decision. She walked to the front desk and said to the shopkeeper, "I'm tired, I want to check out." β
The shopkeeper looked at the woman in front of him.
She stood slim to the side, her face a little anxious.
This girl came here a few days ago. She is gentle and courteous, and she is extremely generous.
Originally, this girl only said that she planned to stay for about half a month that day, but she didn't know that it was only a few days, and this distinguished guest was leaving.
The shopkeeper looked out through the gap in the window. I saw a storm, and the wind roared angrily, as if it was a giant beast that was about to devour people, and it was terrible.
He thought, what else are you going out in this weather?
Let alone......
He sighed and kindly persuaded: "Why should the girl leave at this time, the wind and rain outside are so strong, even if you have an umbrella, you will inevitably get wet, it is better to stay for a while." β
The woman in front of her smiled gently, but her gaze was firm and unwavering: "I really have a reason to go." β
Shopkeeper: "Then why don't you leave tomorrow morning?" Anyway, there's no rush for this time. β
A look of hesitation flashed across the woman's face, but in the end she shook her head apologetically.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to give up, and after he checked out, as soon as he sent the girl to the door, he was shivered by the cold wind blowing in his face.
"Trouble girl, wait a moment, I'll go get somethingβ" The shopkeeper put aside these words and turned to go up to the attic.
The woman waited in place in surprise for a while, only to see the shopkeeper take a rouge umbrella down, and said kindly: "I see that the girl didn't bring an umbrella, and the wind and rain outside are so strong, it's better to bring it." β
The woman didn't squirm either, and took the thanks: "It's really tiring and bothering."
Shopkeeper: "Yes, the girl is polite." β
The woman said, "Next time I come, I will return the original umbrella." β
When the shopkeeper heard this, his expression was a little subtle, and he hurriedly said, "It's just an umbrella, the girl doesn't have to keep it in mind." β
The woman smiled gratefully and walked into the rain with an umbrella.
The rain crackled and the wind howled. The stones and fallen leaves were swept everywhere, and the sound of heavy objects being swept to the ground sounded terrifying.
The shopkeeper looked at the slightly thin back in front of him, and his expression gradually changed from humble and gentle just now to gloomy and cold.
He locked his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then returned to the inn.
He found paper and ink and began to write.
"Chi Qingqiu suddenly left Jiechuan City, it is very likely that he already knows something."
"I've smeared the handle of her umbrella with the pollen of the Hidden Bee, which is colorless and odorless, and even if she abandons the umbrella, her hands will be stained with pollen. You can use this tracking. β
"The master has ordered that if something happens, there is no need to show mercy."
He put down his pen and whistled, and a pigeon descended from the sky.
After the letter was put in and loaded, the pigeons flew into the sky.
He looked expressionlessly at the black shadow that had disappeared in the sky, his eyes bound to win.

Countless raindrops fell on Chi Qingqiu's umbrella in the sky, like the sound of broken jade.
The ground was covered with water marks, and Chi Qingqiu's shoes were already soaked. Despite the umbrella, the power of the cold storm is still too small.
Ji Qingqiu walked very fast.
It was difficult for her to explain to others how she was feeling.
Chi Qingqiu was left without parents since he was a child and was displaced during his childhood. After being unfortunate enough to get involved in other people's grievances, he was held hostage. However, when she was in danger, she was rescued by Sheng Canglan, the hall master of Cangyun Palace, and accepted her as a disciple.
Since then, Chi Qingqiu has also ended his life of exile. And be qualified to contact some high-grade exercises and learn some subtle spells.
Therefore, for Chi Qingqiu, Sheng Canglan is of great significance.
Before leaving, Master told her that he would go to the Island of Eternal Night to visit an old friend, take care of some other things, and return in about half a month.
Before leaving, Master also promised that returning here would bring her a precious gift.
I don't elaborate on what that is.
Chi Qingqiu asked curiously, and the master only smiled mysteriously.
It stands to reason that there is no danger in Eternal Night Island, but she has always had palpitations these days, and she is really relieved.
She couldn't help but think of the letter Master had sent her earlier.
At first, it was okay, but it was just a description of the scenery and experience of Eternal Night Island, and Ji Qingqiu also found it very interesting to watch.
But later......
That is, last night, she received a letter from Master again.
"I went out to hunt for treasures with old friends today, and I encountered some accidents, but fortunately I successfully solved them."
"But recently, I always feel an unusual sense of peeping around me, and every time I explore, I hide in the crowd."
"I had a not-so-good intuition. If you hear some rumors, don't come to me, for I will return someday. β
After receiving the letter that night, she didn't sleep well. When I woke up during the day, I found myself sweating all over, probably from some terrible dream.
Chi Qingqiu didn't really remember the scene in the dream, but he vaguely felt that it was a picture he didn't want to see.
She has been like this since she was a child, and has a keen premonition of some bad things.
The abnormality of these days made her even more worried, for fear that something bad would happen.
Hope is an illusion.
It rained all the time.
The road on the side of his feet was slippery, and Chi Qingqiu didn't pay attention to a stone on the side of the road, and he almost fell.
It made her look a little embarrassed, but despite this, she calmly straightened her clothes and continued to walk briskly.
Sometimes heavy rain always buries some traces.
In the place where Chi Qingqiu didn't see it, countless figures had already followed her.

Mu Jiujiu was woken up by his mother's voice.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the mother knocked on the door frantically outside, and said angrily: "Mu Jiujiu, look at the time!" It's so late and still sleeping! β
Oh yes, she locked the door yesterday.
Mu Jiujiu lazily lifted his eyelids and found that he was already getting older.
How did I sleep for so long?
She found herself in bed with the game helmet on her head, but off.
"Hmm." A little dizzy, Mu Jiujiu unbuttoned his helmet and rubbed his head, feeling the resistance of his body due to hunger.
"Don't knock, I'm up." She called to the door and prepared to get out of bed.
As a result, his knees weakened, and he almost fell.
"Oh my God!" Mu Jiujiu couldn't hold back his exclamation.
"What's wrong?" The mother asked in surprise when she heard her cry.
"It's okay~" Mu Jiujiu hurriedly said.
Is this the sequelae of the game, obviously my knees don't hurt anymore, why is it still a little sore?
It won't leave a psychological shadow, right?
Wondering, she opened the locked door.
When she came to the living room, her mother had already prepared a hot meal waiting for her.
Mu Jiujiu saw that his appetite moved, hurriedly washed, and began to eat.
The mother is still complaining: "Look at you, how old are you, and you are still so lazy." I really don't know how to say hello, that Aunt Wang's child, he has only been in junior high school, and he is already ......"
Mu Jiujiu hurriedly interrupted the chatter of "other people's children", and she said flatteringly: "Didn't I just come back and be tired, you see that I don't usually do this, just forgive me once." β
"How old are you still coquettish!" Her mother glared at her.
Mu Jiujiu stuck his tongue out at her.
I was probably really hungry, and I ate a very comfortable meal.
When Mu Jiujiu washed the dishes, he couldn't help but think of the scene from yesterday's game.
She was originally trying to get out of the shadow of a broken love and relax herself by the way. But I didn't expect this game to have much expectations, but it gave me such a big shock.
Mu Jiujiu is now thinking about every scene and object in the game, and even nostalgic for the pitiful system that says that he is a "defective product".
No, you can't indulge in the virtual world, you have to focus on reality!
Mu Jiujiu said to himself in his heart.
But the body walked into his room very honestly, closed the door and locked the door after a series of operations, and put on the game helmet again.
It smells so good!
