40. The Major General went to find the Divine Bird
Xie Qingqiu was woken up by the rain.
The raindrops the size of beans fell mercilessly on her face, but in just a few breaths, the rain soaked her whole body.
When I struggled to open my eyes, the rain went in a little bit, stabbing my eyes.
"Holy." She immediately got up from the ground and wiped a handful of water from her face. "How the water has been going against me lately."
She subconsciously glanced at the pond and found that there was no movement, and it was estimated that she had already gone out from other places, leaving her, a lonely person, to be drenched in the rain.
Everyone said they loved her, and they didn't come to her after they didn't go back for so long.
Really.
After shaking her head, she began to go back the way she came, thinking about what happened before she fainted as she went.
She was surprised to find that it was not long ago, but the words that poured into her mind were inexplicably blurred, but the feeling of suffocation that seemed to be substantial still wrapped around her.
"Forget it."
Xie Qingqiu doesn't intend to embarrass himself, he pulls down the things he can't think of, just be careful in everything.
When I went back, it was already completely dark, and every house in Shenniao Village had been lit up, and the starry orange lights were hazy and ambiguous in the rain, and inexplicably a little more lonely and quiet.
She was suddenly in less hurry to go back.
The world suddenly became so quiet, as if she was the only one left.
Those worldly disturbances were washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only a pure, simple, self-reliant Qingqiu.
It's a pity that the road is only so long, no matter how much she delays, she will eventually have to face the love-hate entanglement in the fireworks of the world.
When she pushed the door in, she found that the lights in the bedroom had been turned on, and a small table with hot meals on top of the empty space.
Three dishes and one soup are all her favorites.
The dishes and chopsticks had been arranged, and the one that belonged to her had rice and some soup poured on it.
Just looking at it, she could already feel the softness and flavor of the rice, and her stomach rang at the right time.
It feels like home, someone is waiting for you, and it's still somewhat warm.
At this time, Xie Li came out of the bathroom.
After seeing Xie Qingqiu, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly took a piece of paper and wiped the water on his hands. "Sister, are you back?"
After taking two steps, he noticed that she was soaking wet, and that worried look naturally came out again.
Xie Qingqiu didn't need to question it, because this was Xie Li, although that look was not fake.
"Sister, you're wet, you want to take a bath." He tugged at the corner of his coat, then turned back and ran to the bathroom. "I'm going to put water on my sister."
She sighed, and without hindrance, she found herself a dress.
Xie Qingqiu took a combat bath, washed away the rain and cold, and then went out of the bathroom door, Xie Li knelt obediently in front of the small table, and did not move his chopsticks.
"What about them?" She subconsciously asked, because these meals were eaten by four people.
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and after a long while, he replied in a low voice: "This is the food I cooked, and I only cook it for my sister alone." ”
The voice was small, but she could hear it clearly.
After looking at the other party for a few seconds, Xie Qingqiu sighed as if he had no choice, and then turned on his light brain and sent a message to Adjutant Ou.
[Solve all your problems: If you have dinner, you will take Zhang Liu for a meal tonight. 】
[Gross! Adjutant:? 】
[Solve all your problems: Don't tell him where I live and just say something.] 】
[Gross! Adjutant:? 】
After sending it, she was closed, not caring at all about Adjutant Ou's message bombardment.
"I've already told them that we'll just eat together tonight." She put a chopstick dish in her bowl, and felt that she had done something less, so she put another chopstick into the other party's bowl.
"Let's eat!"
Xie Qingqiu's half of his kindness to him will be infinitely magnified by him, just a dish with chopsticks is enough to make him happy.
The two of them finished their meal happily.
Not long after the meal, Xie Qingqiu found him an umbrella, ignored the desire he had always wanted to stay, and drove him back to the place where he lived.
On the second day, the rain did not stop, and it seemed that it was still falling more and more, and the thick dark clouds seemed to fall infinitely low, as if they could be touched by raising their hands.
Xie Qingqiu had wanted to wait a few days to look for them, but the local guide told them that the Divine Bird Village was about to receive a heavy rainstorm that had not been seen in decades.
This is the best time to look for it.
The weather will only get worse and worse in the next few days, and when this wave of heavy rain is over, it will be the annual open season, and it will be inconvenient for there to be more people at that time.
So in the end, they chose to go today.
However, Zhang Liu and Xie Li were ordered to stay in the homestay and not go out, and Xie Qingqiu and Adjutant Ou went to find the Imperial Divine Bird.
So before officially entering the mountain, there was such a scene.
Xie Qingqiu and Adjutant Ou were already fully armed, while Zhang Liu and Xie Li leaned against the door, both of them looking at Xie Qingqiu with sad faces.
A look of parting with each other.
"Qingqiu, you have to be careful." Zhang Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his worried appearance did not seem to be fake. "If you find it, come back quickly, don't stay long, it's dangerous in the mountains when it's raining."
Xie Qingqiu half-raised his chin and nodded, and then turned his gaze to Xie Li, as if waiting for his parting words.
He met that gaze, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
She snorted, didn't say anything, just grabbed Adjutant Ou's shoulders and hid under the umbrella. "We're leaving, don't worry."
The two had just walked a few steps, and Xie Li shouted again behind them.
Xie Qingqiu turned around to look at him, and saw that he waved his hand very stupidly, and then said in a daze, "Sister, goodbye." ”
"Haha, goodbye." She laughed.
It's stupid.

After following the guide up a narrow plank road to the halfway point of the mountain, several people spread their wings and began to fly low above the ground.
They weave their translucent wings through the dense jungle, rain falling on them, only to be shaken apart and shattered in the air with the next swing.
However, rainy days still affect their speed and sense of direction somewhat, and the moisture sticking to the air is also inherently disliked by the Zerg.
"The Imperial Bird is a bird with three toes and a long beak, and it also has an alias called the Fire-Stepping Sparrow, because its feet are very hot, and the slightest carelessness will burn people." The guide explained to them as he flew.
"So where it flies, it smells of sparks, and everywhere it touches, it's a little burnt."
Speaking of this, she smiled, "There is also a reason for calling a divine bird, at least the high temperature will not drop when it rains, and people will feel warm and comfortable when they stick to it." ”
Xie Qingqiu secretly memorized these characteristics clearly in his heart, and carefully looked and sniffed as he flew.
However, the three of them had just flown over a corner when a vision suddenly appeared.
