Chapter 20: Yaoyao

Since Jiao Qi's injuries healed, the little girl has never sent medicine, and Mupu still hasn't come to see him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I don't know if it's because of the little girl or Mokpo, Jiao Qi's heart is a little lost, and he feels empty, something is missing. Jiao Qi has been resting for half a month, and after such a long time, Jiao Ba still hasn't woken up, and he has been in a state of deep sleep, which makes Jiao Qi very worried. During this period, he asked the fifth old gentleman about Jiao Ba's situation more than once, and the fifth old gentleman simply replied that it was not a big problem, it just needed to rest for a while. Jiao Qi understands that Jiao Ba is not an ordinary puppy, and it may be the same when he is sick. Besides, since the fifth old gentleman said that it was not a big problem, there must be no big problem. But Jiao Ba was the first gift he received in this world, and Jiao Qi had always regarded it as his closest friend and partner, and he was very afraid that it would leave him like this, leaving him alone again.

This afternoon, Jiao Qi, who had been holding back for more than half a month, finally decided to go out to breathe. The fifth old gentleman had instructed Jiao Qi before, if he really felt bored, he should go to the neighborhood to relax, and don't go too far. Before going out, Jiao Qi said to Jiao Ba, who was still sleeping: "I'll go for you to see what is delicious in the city first, and I'll take you with you when you wake up, you can lie on this bed and rest well, and wait for me to come back with good news." After saying this, he walked out of the house.

Half an hour later, Jiao Qibai was bored walking on the streets of Guiyuan City, like a dead corpse being dragged forward.

The architecture of Guiyuan City is very different from that of Seven Birds City. The buildings of the Seven Birds City are distributed in a circle, with the seven towers as the center and spreading outward in a circle, and the height of the buildings is gradually decreasing. Guiyuan City, on the other hand, is a giant block made up of many blocks of different sizes, as if countless Pingsha Cities have been dismantled and gathered together. There are no majestic walls that surround you, no towers that reach into the sky, just straight streets, unpretentious houses, and alleys.

At this time, just after noon, the streets and alleys of Guiyuan City were full of people who were busy for life. The small merchants and vendors shouting loudly on the side of the road, the noisy and lively restaurants, the unbridled laughter and scolding coming from the teahouse, the passers-by in a hurry, and the old people enjoying the shade under the trees by the wall. For Jiao Qi, these are the cities he is more familiar with, but there is a hint of serenity and peace in the chaos, and everyone is moving forward step by step along the trajectory of their own lives.

As a city with a long history of tens of thousands of years, Guiyuan City is located in the center of the continent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the core of the entire world. Its scale is several times that of Seven Birds City, because of its superior geographical environment near mountains and rivers, it has not suffered too much from wars, and many ancient buildings have survived. This is also the reason why the buildings in Guiyuan City look ordinary, because most of them are already a group of "old bones", but this is also a reflection of the profound cultural heritage of Guiyuan City. The customs and cultures of various races from the southeast, the northwest and the southeast have also been constantly exchanged and blended here over time, colliding and learning, making Guiyuan City exude a unique tolerant and broad temperament.

And it is this kind of tolerance and generosity that makes the commerce of Guiyuan City more vibrant, and the shops on the street are much more prosperous than those of Seven Birds City. Jiao Qi casually passed by a shop, and the dazzling array of rare things in it almost blinded Jiao Qi's eyes, and he couldn't see it at all. Needless to say, the variety of delicacies on the side of the road is needless to say, whether it is the desert barbecue that Jiao Qi is most familiar with, or the pastries and dim sum that he has never seen, everything is straight to the bottom of Jiao Qi's heart, and Jiao Qi can't wait to taste every shop on this street. But at this moment, Jiao Qi's heart is like ashes. Because at this time, Jiao Qi discovered his fatal weakness - he didn't have a penny on him.

Since Jiao Qi left Pingsha City, he has never worried about food and accommodation. When I lived with Jiao Er, someone delivered three meals on time every day. If you are not happy to eat, you can also take Jiao Ba and Mu Pu out to eat and drink together, anyway, Mu Pu pays for him, and he doesn't need to think about the trouble of paying at all.

Now that Jiao Er and Mupu are not by his side, Jiao Qikong has a foodie heart, but he can't even raise the courage to enter the store to take a look, only passing by the rows of bustling shops lonely.

Jiao Qi felt as if he had returned to Pingsha City, back to when he was alone.

"So now it's just me again?" Jiao Qi thought like this while moving forward aimlessly, unconsciously walking all the way to the south embankment of Guiyuan City. Jiao Qi didn't come to his senses until he heard the sound of "whooshing", a surging river from west to east appeared in front of Jiao Qi, and the waves rose and fell one after another in the wide river, like thousands of silver snakes rolling and dancing under the sunshine. The boats on the river come and go, and from a distance, they look like pieces of fallen leaves, and the people on the boat can't see clearly, they are simply an ant on the fallen leaves. This is the first time in the life of Jiao Qi, who has lived in the desert to the present, he saw the river for the first time in his life, he looked at the magnificent scene in front of him and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and the feeling of loss and melancholy in his heart just now all disappeared, replaced by full of admiration and awe of nature.

At this time, Jiao Qi saw a familiar figure sitting not far from the river bank, it was the little girl he was thinking about!

The little girl left in a hurry every time she sent the medicine, Jiao Qi had never looked at her seriously, this was the first time that Jiao Qi had such a long time to observe her carefully. The little girl didn't notice Jiao Qi behind her, she was looking at the river in a daze at this time. She was still wearing the aqua blue slanted plain robe, her short ear-length hair fluttering slowly under the blowing of the river breeze, but her small face was full of great sorrow that did not match her age, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

Jiao Qi stood there, not knowing whether he should step forward or not. Just when Jiao Qi was still hesitating, the little girl just got up and prepared to leave. In a panic, Jiao Qi didn't know whether to turn around and walk away or step forward to say hello, so he stopped in place and was at a loss. The little girl who turned around recognized him at a glance, and when she saw him like this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Jiao Qi: "Are you okay now?"

Jiao Qi never thought that the first conversation between the two would start in such an awkward way, and he replied to the little girl crampedly: "Well, I'm fine, but Jiao Ba hasn't woken up yet." ”

The little girl leaned over to him, put her face forward, looked at Jiao Qi carefully with wide eyes, and asked, "Yes, but your face still looks a little red." “

Jiao Qi only felt a gust of breeze mixed with a faint fragrance blowing over, and his heart beat rapidly, so nervous that he couldn't say a word.

The little girl retreated, and then asked Jiao Qi: "Jiao Ba, is that the name of the puppy?"

Jiao Qi's heartbeat eased a little, and he quickly nodded and said, "En, yes." ”

The little girl raised her eyebrows: "This name is really a bit strange." “

Then she took another step to the side, turned around and stretched out her right hand towards Jiao Qi: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Yaoyao, what's your name?"

"My name is Jiao Qi. Jiao Qi's palms were sweaty, and his right hand stretched out and retracted, wiped it on the side of his pants before reaching out again.

"Huh, so you're actually Jiao Ba's brother?" Yaoyao didn't mind Jiao Qi's movements at all, but was more interested in Jiao Qi's words, showing a very surprised expression.

Jiao Qi finally knew why when he named the puppy Jiao Ba at the beginning, the corners of Jiao Er's eyes twitched uncontrollably. It turned out that he not only set himself a trap, but also piggyback Jiao Er by the way.

"No...... No, I'm human. Jiao Qi, who was eager to explain, gave this kind of retarded answer.

Yaoyao was amused by his cramped appearance again, and no longer asked questions about his name, and the two walked back in the direction of the Upper Spirit Courtyard side by side.

If Mu Pu was next to him at this time, he would definitely be able to see at a glance how abnormal Jiao Qi was at the moment. When he was in Seven Birds City, Jiao Qi would transform into a wild dog as soon as he left his residence, running around the city looking for food, which was not as good as Jiao Ba. And at this moment, he was beside Yaoyao, not in a hurry, without saying a word, honestly like a little daughter-in-law. Yaoyao occasionally asked him two words, and he even knotted his tongue when he answered, which really responded to his name as a "delicate wife".

Between the questions and answers, the two returned to the street where Jiao Qi passed by when he came. At this time, it has been several hours since Jiao Qi came out, and it is getting late, and the food stalls on the street have been set up, and the aromas of all kinds of food are mixed together, constantly teasing the stomach of Jiao Qi, a foodie.

Jiao Qi tried his best to maintain his image in front of Yaoyao and forcibly suppressed the peristalsis of his stomach, but even though Jiao Qi endured it in every way, in the end his stomach still made a "cooing" sound without arguing.

Yaoyao followed the voice and looked down at Jiao Qi's stomach, then raised her head to look at Jiao Qi, with a smile on her face: "I'm the most familiar here, I know which one is the best, come with me." As he spoke, he took Jiao Qi's hand and went straight forward.

Jiao Qi, who ran forward with Yaoyao, couldn't believe what was happening in front of him at all, and felt like a dream. All the voices around him suddenly disappeared, and everything became slow motion, but even this he still felt that it was too fast, and he only wished that time could stop in this moment forever.
