Chapter 60: Go with the flow
"Huh?" Chishui looked at Yan Qi with a little surprise.
Yan Qi himself didn't seem to expect that he would blurt out such words, and when Chi Shui looked at it, a look of panic and shame appeared on his face, and suddenly it gradually turned firm.
Only a fist clenched tightly.
Chi Shui's gaze was peaceful, with a faint hint of tenderness.
She wouldn't feel that Yan Qi was greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, he could say such a thing, which showed that his mind had quickly matured because of the recent changes.
He knew that his strength was meager, and he also understood the painstaking arrangement of the clan elder, and knew that his situation at this time would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap if he went back, so he retreated......
This is a retreat of reason, and there is no shame in it.
Chi Shui sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "Trust me!" Let's go back and see how it goes, and if it's not right, it's not too late to leave. β
Yan Qi originally didn't want to involve this sister who had just met, but had a very good impression, he had also fully realized the seriousness of the matter, this was a catastrophe to say that it was a catastrophe, and he couldn't ignore his sister's safety because of his selfishness.
He struggled and said, "...... But the patriarch told me to take you away......"
Chi Shui replied: "Your clan elder also said that there is no problem for your sister and me to protect ourselves, you have to believe your clan elder's words." β
Yan Qi's mind circled around with Chishui's words, and it felt a little complicated.
I always feel that although this sister has a gentle tone, there is a faint meaning that cannot be doubted, and on the other hand, there is a trace of hope in his heart because of Chishui's persistence.
After all, he still wanted to go back.
The two reached a consensus again, Yan Qi fell silent, and Chi Shui hid the traces of the two while walking back.
Although it was only a few words just now, Chi Shui, like Yan Qi, saw the seriousness of this matter from this arrangement of the clan elder.
As Yan Qi said, there have been a succession of missing people in their clan recently.
There is no cause, no omen, no enemies, and no clues.
Judging from the defense of this settlement when she first came in before, the clan elders' arrangement was correct, and they already attached great importance to this matter.
But I'm afraid that even the clan elders didn't expect that this seriousness would be far beyond their expectations.
Imagine that with the profound heritage of the Qiming clan in this world and the network of relationships laid out, who would dare to pluck the hair on their heads easily?
Not to mention the idea of beating their Qiming people?
And yet that's how it happened.
The patriarch may have suddenly understood at this last moment, so he made such an arrangement.
Chi Shui took Yan Qi with him, and he was also cautious and cautious, and his ability to force that clan elder to plan for the worst was itself a testament to everything.
Therefore, it takes more than twice as long to return for the same journey as it did when leaving.
However, what made Chishui even more unexpected was that they came out of the secret passage and soon met Yan Qi's clansmen.
Yan Qi's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward almost immediately, "Third uncle, are you back?" β
Chi Shui's footsteps hesitated imperceptibly for a moment, followed Yan Qi's side, and when he heard the words, he also looked at the so-called third uncle?
A slightly rugged man, with a little vicissitudes of life, it can be seen that he has suffered a lot outside this time, and when he saw Yan Qi at this time, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, "Yan Qi, it turns out that you are here, and we are looking for you." β
As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but move to Chishui.
Yan Qi hurriedly introduced: "Third uncle, this is a sister I met outside, and I invited her to be a guest at home. β
Chishui nodded with a smile, and the two sides simply saluted.
The third uncle's gaze didn't linger too much on Chi Shui, and after expressing his welcome to Chi Shui, he explained to Yan Qi again: "The clan elder also guessed that you would come back, so you should go directly to her!" β
When Yan Qi heard this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the clan elder now?" β
"The clan elder is still dealing with things, and he shouldn't have come back at this time, you go to the square to find it." The third uncle said, patted Yan Qi's shoulder, and then walked towards the tree house with a little tiredness.
After Chi Shui Mu sent him into the tree house, he asked Yan Qidao, "This third uncle is one of your previous missing clansmen?" β
"Hmm." After Yan Qi finished answering, he suddenly slapped his forehead again, and said with remorse in his eyes: "Oops! I was so happy just now that I forgot to ask the third uncle, what happened? β
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chishui to respond, and said happily: "Let's go, let's go to the clan elder first, and it's the same to ask the clan elder." β
Chi Shui's attention was not on Yan Qi, and when he heard this, he only said, "...... Good! β
Yan Qi didn't notice this, or he noticed it but didn't care, his heart had already flown to the front, so he rushed forward, completely forgetting that if there was Chishui with him, the speed would be several times faster.
Chi Shui didn't make a sound, he just followed behind Yan Qi unhurriedly and slowly, and out of the core area, there were really more people outside.
A scene of prosperity, no different from the first sight.
If Chi Shui hadn't seen all the people before, I'm afraid he wouldn't have thought that this scene in front of him was so special?
Especially Yan Qi, who had been immersed in the worst and worst imagination before, how could he not be touched when he saw this scene at this time?
At the same time, he finally let go of his hanging heart, and his shoulders returned to a relaxed state.
Chi Shui hid the thoughts in his eyes, and as he shuttled through the crowd, the closer he got to the square, the denser the flow of people became, and because of the return of the clansmen, everyone's faces were filled with joyful and relaxed smiles, sweeping away the previous dull and depressing atmosphere.
"Let's Jean! Let's Jean! Yan Qi relied on his size to pass around the crowd flexibly, which provided convenience for Chishui.
In the distance, she saw the patriarch who was standing in the center of the square to comfort the people.
The old man of the clan seemed to be aware of it, and he also looked in her direction, and naturally saw Yan Qi as well.
Chi Shui didn't miss the patriarch's expression that seemed to be slightly condensed for a moment, she slowly nodded to the patriarch, and Yan Qi had already rushed in front of the patriarch, "Patriarchβ"
His eyes were attached to him, his voice seemed to tremble a little, and there was a joy of regain?
The clan elder looked at Yan Qi silently, stretched out his hand and stroked his head, and sighed: "Yan Qi, you should grow up!" β
Yan Qi seemed to want to shake his head, but he was reluctant to let the clan elder's hand leave, so he froze in place.
And the clan elder pulled him to his side, and then moved his eyes to Chishui and said: "Equatorial friend, the affairs of the clan are busy, and now because of this change, the clan also needs to be rectified, you see ...... you."
This is almost a direct eviction order.
If Chi Shui was interested, he should naturally say goodbye at this time, but Chi Shui knew that he had already failed the clan elder's heart, and brought Yan Qi back, if he left at this time, it would be a little unauthentic.
She immediately said: "I haven't had time to sit down with the elders of the clan and talk about it, and I really can't afford to leave, so I can only be cheeky and disturb the clan elders again." β
The old man of the clan paused slightly when he heard this, and his eyes looked deeply at Chishui.
Chishui smiled and said.
Finally, the clan elder said slowly: "In this case, I would like to ask the equatorial friends to wait a while." β
"It's okay, you get busy first."
Chi Shui said, looked next to the clan elder and said, "Yan Qi, I'm not familiar with this place, why bother you to tell me about it?" You're not going to abandon me right now, are you? β
When Yan Qi heard this, he also seemed to be a little moved, but he still looked at the clan elder for the first time.
The patriarch said, "Go!" Don't snub your guests. β
Yan Qi actually wanted to follow the clan elder at this time, but the clan elder said that his sister was indeed brought by him, so he returned to Chishui's side, "Clan elder, then let's go back first." β
The patriarch waved his hand and went back to other things.
When the two of them left the square, Chi Shui asked, "What is your relationship with the clan elder?" β
Yan Qi still had a trace of loss on his face, and replied when he heard the words: "Except for the same branch, there is no other relationship." β
Chi Shui was surprised: "I see that the clan elder attaches great importance to you. β
"That's because my parents died when I was a child, and I almost grew up under the care of the clan elders." Yan Qi said.
Chi Shui understood, Yan Qi could have a cadre to follow with Cong Servants, it was obvious that the original status of his parents was not low, and he was taken care of by the clan elders, so for him, the clan elders were not only relatives, but also elders, and they were the support of all emotions.
As for the elder of the Yu clan, a child who was almost raised by her own hands is so dependent on and trusts her, she will naturally plan and plan for her, which seems to be human nature.
This should have been a heart-wrenching tragedy of the present world, but after the vicissitudes of life, it is impossible to say that it will be turned out and widely sung.
It's just that the person they met was Chishui.
I don't like Chishui, who plays cards according to common sense.
Chishui has traveled for many years and has seen too much helplessness. Although the script is wonderful, if it happens in reality, it is not so wonderful.
She sighed in her heart, and Yan Qi next to her suddenly jumped up again and said, "Ah, we forgot to ask again." β
Chishui: "......"
Seeing that Yan Qi still wanted to go back, Chi Shui grabbed him and said, "Don't go, just by looking at everyone's happy appearance, you know that it must be fine, those clansmen should all come back, let's go back first!" β
Yan Qiyi thought about it too, although his heart was still itchy, but his current task was to accompany Chishui, he still remembered.
"By the way, what about your servants?" Chi Shui suddenly reminded again.
"Huh?!" Yan Qi was really distracted and rushed to his residence.
Chi Shui smiled helplessly, and then turned back to look back at the square in the distance, his eyes were far away......
Fate is so magical.
The two people who were originally in different worlds, by coincidence, at this fixed point in time, their fates intersected.
But with a simple few words, a knowing smile, the other party can entrust the most important person to her, it is not about trust, nor is it a last resort, but just do it naturally.
And the reason why she chose to stay regardless of the danger was not because of sympathy or guilt, of course, not for any experience, she just wanted to stay.
So much for.
The so-called confidant, about the same.
