Chapter Twenty-Four: Buying Clothes for Si Ye
Yan Qi stood up and glanced at the Great Elder defiantly.
I can see with the naked eye that the Great Elder grinds his back molars, and he should be hating Yan Qi with itchy teeth, "Even if you participate, who will be the other person who is missing?" You won't let Chen Mo follow you in person, right? That's a shame. ”
I saw Bai Luoyang's feet move in my spare eye, and I thought of the shadow of the golden mask in my mind, so Bai Luoyang took a step forward first, "I'll come." ”
"I volunteered to be a warlock under the Chen family."
I'm afraid that the Great Elder will say that I'm not qualified to participate, so I'll strike first.
Sure enough, the Great Elder was blocked and speechless, and his eyebrows trembled on his chubby face, "What strength do you have to represent the Chen family in the competition, Chen Mo, are you willing to bet?" ”
It turned out that the Great Elder was waiting here, first deliberately letting a few Chen family disciples refuse to participate in the competition, and then made a bet after a few of us stood up, and specially brought everyone to testify, which was really a good calculation.
At this time, the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent. Chen Mo was calm, "Do you think, why should the head of my dignified generation make a bet with you?" Do you deserve it? ”
"Someone, send off."
Chen Moli ignored it, stood up and walked to the back room, two people like bodyguards came out of the shadows, and politely asked the elders to leave.
"If the Chen family wins the first place, I am willing to give the rights and resources in my hands with both hands, and I will not enter the Chen family's territory for half a step in this life."
Chen Mo's footsteps stopped, his back to him I couldn't see his face clearly, but it was obvious from his reaction at this time that this bet made him moved.
"If you lose, give me half of the rights."
Chen Mo didn't speak, he couldn't see his thoughts, although there was Si Ye behind him, the position of the head of the family, others would never be able to pull him down, but he couldn't do anything to the Great Elder, so he could only let him appear in front of him like a worm every day and be disgusted.
This gambling treaty is really rare, but it involves me and Yan Qi, so Chen Mo can't gamble easily.
"Yan Qi." I called softly, she turned her head to look at me, and I nodded softly, indicating that I was willing to participate in this matter.
After getting my consent, Yan Qi gave me a grateful look, "Then bet." ”
Yan Qi directly responded for Chen Mo, and she had already represented Chen Mo in Chen's Villa for so many years. At this time, after getting Yan Qi's affirmation, the Great Elder smiled proudly, and there was no need for anyone to send off the guests, and left with a large group of people non-stop, as if he was afraid that Chen Mo would regret it.
These people are like emotionless machines, they don't react at all when they hear Chen Mo and the Great Elder's bet, they only care about whether the Chen family is strong or not, and they don't care who sits in that position.
"Nonsense!" Chen Mo took Yan Qi's arm and went back to the room directly.
Through the door, I vaguely heard the two people arguing, "You're not a child anymore, why do you jump in when you know it's a trap?" also danced with Qingluan. ”
"It's because I'm not a child, I know in my heart, the Great Elder is your heart disease, and it's the opportunity to fight. Chen Mo, I won't let you lose. ”
In the room, Chen Mo looked at Yan Qi's face and forgot what she wanted to say next, she looked up at him, her eyes were full of determination, Chen Mo's tone suddenly softened, "I don't want you to work hard because of me, you know?" ”
From the time the two met when they were young to the present, he knew that Yan Qi's heart was only towards him, and at this time, he saw that Yan Qi suddenly wanted to hug her in front of Yan Qi's eyes.
The fist clenched and loosened beside him, Chen Mo's eyes were slightly red, and finally he just reached out and touched Yan Qi's hair.
"Minimum standard, no injuries."
Yan Qi knew that Chen Mo had compromised, and smiled proudly, the whole person was very bright, it turned out that his little girl had grown so big unconsciously.
"It's okay to take you forever."
The night on the mountain is very beautiful, but the stars that can't be seen in the city are obvious here, and there are rare fireflies, and under the starry sky, I think of the prize gold mask, which must be a good match for Si Ye.
"Hey, Si Ye, I'll give you a gift in a few days."
Si Ye was lying flat on the back of his head with his hands behind his head and looking at the sky, but when he heard my words, he turned to look at me sideways, "What gift?" ”
Originally, I thought that the starlight in the sky was bright enough, but looking at Si Ye's face at this moment, I felt that even the starlight was eclipsed.
"I'm not going to tell you, you'll know when the time comes."
Si Ye smiled dumbly, although he didn't talk much when he was with me, he wasn't an ice cube face, and sometimes he would look at me with a smile on his face.
Under the starry sky, Si Ye did something I didn't expect, he kissed my forehead reverently, and his eyes were full of affection.
It was destined to be a night of sweet dreams.
As the trial approached, compared to me and Yan Qi, Chen Mo and Si Ye were obviously much more nervous.
Si Ye is okay, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, but that face makes people feel that it is getting colder day by day, Chen Mo is simply too busy to rest, he goes around collecting the list of people who will participate in the trial this time.
These were originally kept secret by various families, and I don't know how he really got it, a full volume, and the two of them locked themselves in the room to classify and study.
Bai Luoyang didn't know what was wrong, he was bent on becoming stronger, and he followed the disciples of the Chen family to learn martial arts every day before dawn, and only me and Yan Qi were left in the entire compound, and the grass was about to grow when I was bored.
"Qingluan, let's go shopping." Yan Qi leaned next to me and proposed.
I was also moved when I heard about shopping, because I thought that Si Ye said that no one would give him clothes when he died, and I always wanted to prepare a few for him.
Yan Qi has been exposed to these since he was a child, and he really knows where there are clothes for ghosts, and drove me straight to my destination.
It was already afternoon when we came out, and Yan Qi took me to a small shop near the border between urban and rural areas.
The room is very old-fashioned, illuminated only by a dim ancient lamp. There were few clothes hanging on either side.
Most of them are modern clothes, a few ancient costumes, thinking that Si Ye may not be used to wearing modern clothes, I picked two more ancient costumes.
A black robe caught my attention, which was basically the same as the one worn when Si Ye led me into the space for the first time, and the cuffs were hooked with silver threads to hook the ink bamboo, which coincided with Si Ye's temperament.
"Boss, how do you sell this robe?"
The gray-haired old lady nested in it with a pipe in her mouth, and if it weren't for the smoke that came out from time to time, it would have looked like a sculpture.
"That one is not for sale, it was the last piece of clothing that my old man made when he was alive."
Hearing the reason, I didn't want to be strong, so I was reluctant to touch my clothes and put them down.
The moment he put down his hand, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the originally calm room, unlike the strong wind brought by other ghosts, this wind was very gentle, and the clothes suddenly fell to the ground.
The old lady sat up from the stool tremblingly, her cloudy eyes filled with tears, "Old man, are you back?" ”
The scene of the reunion of the old people is the most touching, Yan started a pillar of incense, cut his finger and drew a talisman, and an old man with a bent back appeared in the store.
"You have a pillar of incense for a while."
It's hard to bother again, Yan Qi and I sat on the stone steps outside the store, and a pair of lovers embraced each other between the yin and yang sides of the wall.
