Chapter 271 - The Perfection That Doesn't Exist (5)
The three of them laughed and laughed all the way, and before they knew it, they could already see the hollow tree in the giant wood cave, but Qiu Zijing sank her face again when she saw it, and sighed softly: "Alas! Since I lived in my mother's Wanfeng Courtyard, I have never been back to this giant wood cave to take a look, either helping Chi Muyan take care of the city affairs in the city, or spending a leisurely life in the other courtyard. I was relieved to hear the uncles who came to see me briefly talk about the current situation in the tree cave, but I forgot that if my uncles saw that I was doing well, they would not have revealed half of their lives, no matter how hard they lived. ”
Yue Jian listened to Qiu Zijing's words, but suddenly laughed, patted her shoulder and smiled easily: "No wonder you can make Chi Muyan so angry that he throws his sleeves away, if he hears what you just said again, he will have to be so angry that he will explode again! You have been with him for so long, don't you know his style of doing things? As long as he knows the problem, he will let it exist for so long?" It's really not like we're all speaking for him, people have handed over more than half of the entire Phantom Wing City to you, it's already considered a bit of a heart-to-heart, you're still thinking about something here, doubting this and guessing that, it's a bit too much, right?"
"Yes, yes, Sister Zijing, you should trust my brother a little more! You see, the hollow old tree in the distance is much more lush than the last time I came! It is like opening its arms to welcome you back. Let's go down and see if it's back to life!"
Chi Mudie smiled and took Yuejian's words, and pointed to Qiu Zijing The hollow old tree not far away, Qiu Zijing followed her hand and raised her eyes to look at the past, and saw that the hollow old tree was indeed much stronger than the sick appearance when she left, and even many green shoots and new branches appeared, and even the originally dry and blackened bark was full of vitality and green.
The fire phoenix of the moon slowly descended to the ground not far from the giant tree cave, where the original intricate and lush thorny thorns were now gone, replaced by a long path paved with stones, and all kinds of blooms were placed on both sides of the road, not only did not have the weird atmosphere of depression and horror in the past, but it was more like an isolated paradise.
Qiu Zijing, who looked surprised, strolled on the stone path, and was very puzzled by the changes here, but found that there was no movement at this time in the giant tree cave that was usually very lively at any time, which couldn't help but make Qiu Zijing's heart lift up again when she let go of a little bit, and immediately accelerated the pace of her feet.
Unaware of the whispers of Chi Mudie and Yuejian behind her back, Qiu Zijing walked to the entrance of the giant tree cave at the fastest pace on the stone path, but as soon as she leaned in, she was caught by Aunt Sun and Aunt Wang, who were already ambushed at the door, grabbed her arm left and right, and put her into a hut in the tree cave.
"Eh, Aunt Sun, Aunt Wang, what are you doing? I'm Zijing, I'm coming back to see you! Where are you going to take me? What do you mean by that? I'm ......."
Chi Mudie and Yuejian, who were following from afar, watched Qiu Zijing being escorted into a wooden house by two middle-aged women, so they smiled evilly and clapped their hands gently, and then saw Chi Muyan and Cang Lan and others in gorgeous clothes walking out of another tree house quietly, and made a silent gesture to the two of them, and pointed to the tree house that Qiu Zijing had entered just now, meaning to let them go in to see the situation.
Although Chi Mudie and Yuejian were full of helplessness, they could only follow Chi Muyan's instructions and push the door into the tree house. Sure enough, as soon as the two of them entered, they heard the cold voice of Qiu Zijing, who was being forcibly pulled by two middle-aged women to change clothes.
"Hey, those two so-called honest people, can you tell me now what the hell is going on?"
"What's going on? We don't know what's going on! We were admiring the bright flowers outside just now, and in a blink of an eye, we saw Sister Zijing, you were caught by these two aunts, so we hurriedly followed in!"
When Qiu Zijing's vision was blocked, Chi Mudie gave the two women a look as she spoke, and the two women immediately understood, and continued to move on with a smile. When Qiu Zijing's sharp gaze returned to Chi Mudie's face again, she only saw her blinking innocently on her face, and Yuejian next to her also spread her hands blankly.
"Maybe the folks are just welcoming you back in this way, giving you a nice new dress, and there is no harm to you, so you don't have to be so suspicious, as if the whole world is calculating you alone, it's really hypocritical!"
Yuejian rolled her eyes at Qiu Zijing as she spoke, and Qiu Zijing also retorted dissatisfiedly to Yuejian: "What is it just to change into a good-looking new clothes, this is obviously the phantom feather yarn worn by the bride of the Wing Clan, you two really deliberately tricked me into coming here!"
Qiu Zijing began to struggle and refused to continue to change her clothes, but the next moment she was pressed back by a middle-aged woman, and frowned at her: "Zijing, don't lose your temper! The city lord of Chi and these two young ladies now, but they are all painstaking! The city lord of Chi only rushed back from the desert yesterday evening, and as soon as he came back, he went straight here, and his face was still pure yellow sand in the desert!" He said that he originally wanted to take us all to the Wanfeng Courtyard and let you marry from there, but then he remembered that this is your real home, so he set the wedding ceremony here, and stayed up all night to make so many preparations, what else are you dissatisfied with this child?
As soon as Aunt Sun finished her words with a frown, Aunt Wang on the other side also smiled and continued: " Not only that, since Zi Jing you lived in the Wanfeng Courtyard, the Chi City Lord and these two young ladies have come to see us several times, each time they have brought us a lot of useful materials, and have also asked us if we want to move to Phantom Wing City together, but we are reluctant to live in this old tree, they did not force us, only continued to send us all kinds of things we need, and every time they came and went in a hurry, it can be seen that they are taking time out of their busy schedules to come over, and look at us useless ordinary people, we are really grateful......”
Aunt Wang actually began to wipe her tears in the end, and when Chi Mudie saw this, she hurriedly came over and persuaded with a smile: "Aunt Wang, don't be like this! My brother has said that since you are all people living on Phantom Wing Island, he should solve these practical difficulties for you, and he has been derelict in his duty if he didn't know about your affairs before, and he only hopes that he can do more useful things for you in the future." ”
After Chi Mudie finished speaking, she walked up to Qiu Zijing with a smile, squatted down and held her hand and said seriously: "Sister Zijing, although my brother didn't tell you those ethereal mountain alliances and sea oaths, I know that he wants to prove his heart for you with his actions, you should have more understanding than me, right?"
Looking at Chi Mudie's warm smile, Qiu Zijing's heart couldn't help but be filled with many memories of when he was with Chi Muyan, although he usually didn't have a caring attitude, or a heartless smile, but for the trivial matters of Phantom Wing City, no matter how big or small, he would deal with it very seriously, and he had seen him several times with a tired face and was about to go to bed, but he rushed out of the house in a hurry because of a notification from the little guy......
In just a few months after meeting him, such incidents were completely numerous, and Qiu Zijing often sighed in her heart, this seemingly unreliable man was actually quite reliable, right? Even the sister in front of him, who was a few years younger than him, was unexpectedly mature and decisive, and she could talk and laugh so calmly with such a big thing in her heart...... These two people are really a pair of brothers and sisters with similar temperaments!
With all kinds of complicated feelings, the neatly dressed Qiu Zijing walked out of the tree house just now, accompanied by two sisters and two elders, and as soon as she went out, she was attracted by the rain of snowflakes of petals, and when she looked up, she saw a small and cute flower fairy dancing happily in the air, and various colored petals fell from between its skirts. And when Qiu Zijing looked farther, she found that many dazzling colored balls and ribbons were hanging everywhere in the four walls of the entire hollow old tree, and the villagers who had disappeared just now also pushed the door out of their tree house at this time, cheering and applauding together.
Seeing that the smiling eyes of the villagers were focused on herself, Qiu Zijing reacted, but when she withdrew her gaze and looked in front of her, she was startled by Chi Muyan, who suddenly appeared in front of her, also dressed in gorgeous clothes, and after seeing him show a bad smile to herself, she rearranged a more serious expression, walked slowly in front of Qiu Zijing, knelt down on one knee and stretched out her hand to Qiu Zijing and said:" Miss Qiu Zijing of the Giant Tree Cave, please agree to be my Chi Muyan's wife and my city lord's wife in Phantom Wing City, is it okay?"
After Chi Muyan finished speaking, he grinned mischievously at Qiu Zijing in front of him, but Qiu Zijing didn't hand him immediately, just touched his chin, and pretended to think seriously: "Chi Muyan, if I marry you, is there any special benefit?"
"Uh...... What about this benefit......" Chi Muyan listened to Qiu Zijing's words, and also pretended to think about it, and only after a while did he tilt his head and smile at her: "If you marry me, it is equivalent to the entire Phantom Wing Island is yours, such a big benefit, Miss Zijing can be considered satisfied?"
Looking at Chi Muyan's bright and gentle smile, Qiu Zijing also smiled and put her hand on his hand, and tilted her head to follow his example: "Well, this benefit is quite cost-effective, deal!"
