Chapter 66: Qingcheng Storm
Early spring, South.
Under the heavenly dome, in the mountains with peaks on both sides, there is a huge river, which is the lifeline from the earth's leylines.
On the highway along the mountain, two jeeps chased each other like a fighting car, neck to shoulder, and drove side by side at a green road sign.
γQingcheng, 90 kmγ
Jiang Lian and Qin Man held their respective steering wheels, turned the highway into a racing track, and drove towards their destination with a car of monkey cubs.
They decided to spend their vacation together at the famous Cheongseong Resort.
"Team Jiang, the bend ahead!"
The two cars spun and drifted at the same time, leaving several black marks on the highway, and the sharp sound of grinding echoed from the valley to the valley.
"Sister Man, what a chance!"
Qin Man slightly offset the track and pressed the car on the outside with his body.
Jiang Lian was the river between the valleys on one side, and Qin Man deliberately pressed the car on the other hand, and finally slowed down to give way, looking at Lai Mingjie in the car on the side with the window open, shouting to overtake them with the middle fingers of both hands.
Yang Yuhe, who was in the back seat, scolded, "Despicable! β
Qin Man overtook smoothly and gave a free hand to high-five Lai Mingjie.
Jiang Lian called.
Qin Man, "Some people are not convinced." β
Jiang Lian just said calmly, "The resort is on the mountain, and there is no sign for navigation, do you know the road?" β
Qin Man's eyes purred, he hit seven inches as soon as he made a move, and he never missed.
Taking advantage of this effort, Jiang Lian accelerated to catch up again.
She turned her head and saw Jiang Lian with a wicked smile on her face, and she pulled off her sunglasses slightly, revealing a pair of eyes that were bound to win.
Then there was Yang Yuhe in the back row, and he returned the middle finger he had just compared to them intact.
"So what, at least there are still 90 kilometers left, and I can press you to drive."
The engine roared to catch up, and it was another fierce chase.
Qingcheng Resort is in the mountains embraced by the jungle, and you can see the sunrise and sunset when the weather is good; When the weather is bad, you can see the beautiful spectacle of the mountain tip cutting through the sea of clouds and diverging the stream.
Streams run through the mountains, where talent is dispensable.
There was only one way into the mountain, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived, and the two cars parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the buildings on the top of the mountain.
The clouds seem to be its roof, and the windows reflect the sunlight, like eyes watching people from afar.
A series of rugged staircases wind up the resort.
Jiang Lian took off his sunglasses, "Let's go." β
The boss is a hospitable local couple, two sons, a senior in high school, who went out to cram school with their classmates; The little second grader is eating snacks and reading a book next to his mother.
Qin Man leaned over, and the kid was still looking at a horror picture book, showing a group of people wearing masks with green fangs on their heads, surrounding a bonfire, raising their hands high, as if they were holding some kind of ritual.
In the next scene, a dried corpse is lying in the campfire, and its eyes are so violently opened that its eyes are cracked, and its skin is peeling.
She smiled and stroked the child's head, "You like to watch this?" β
The little boy nodded, and the proprietress explained as she went through the formalities for them.
"He likes these gods and ghosts, and he doesn't know who he looks like."
The little boy was so unconvinced that he held the book and turned his back to his mother, "Hmph." β
Jiang Lian: "Today's children love to read books better than to play video games. β
This sentence won the heart of the proprietress deeply, "That's right." β
The little boy had his own ideas, and he didn't like to communicate with his mother very much in this regard, so he pulled the corner of Qin Man's clothes, and beckoned her to squat down with his little hand to whisper to her.
He pointed to the contents of the book and whispered in Qin Man's ear.
"I've seen it."
Qin Man's eyes flashed, and he looked at the boy incredulously.
"I told my mom that she didn't believe me, and she kept saying that I was reading this kind of book and having nightmares."
Qin Man touched the child's head and said gently.
"Tell my sister, where have you seen it?"
The child took her hand and walked out under the gaze of the crowd, pointing to a ravine to the southwest, and said in a milky voice.
"There."
Then he pointed to the southeast, "There's that too." β
When she pointed to the first place, Qin Man still believed it, but when the child pointed to the second place, she felt a little nonsense.
Eighty percent of this kid's horror stories are really too much, and he is obscene.
She rarely had the patience to crouch down to comfort the little boy.
"Look at those brothers, they're all bad guys."
The little boy held the book and ran over to pull Jiang Lian, pointing to the green-faced fanged things.
"Can you catch these villains?"
Jiang Lian squatted down on his knees, glanced at the sketchbook cursoly, and coaxed with a smile.
"Yes, we can catch any kind of villain."
The little boy ran back to eat snacks, Qin Man and Jiang Lian glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh together.
According to Jiang Lian's instructions, the boss specially prepared a place for them to have an open-air picnic and wine, as well as a bunch of fresh ingredients.
The night dew is falling, the early spring is warm and cold, the temperature on the mountain plummets, Jiang Lian and Yang Yuhe rolled up their sleeves in front of the grill and were busy, and the ingredients roasting charcoal were sizzling oil.
Under the twinkling star lights, Qin Man took off his single clothes, and with a group of men, he played the simplest rock-paper-scissors out of the momentum of a dry frame.
No one feels cold.
She had to eat the victory into her mouth one by one, and then excitedly held two skewers and sent them to Jiang Lian's mouth.
"I've eaten it."
"It's different, it's something I won."
Jiang Lian took a mouthful of it, and suddenly choked and coughed, turned his head and poured a large mouthful of water.
Qin Manhu was so suspicious that he also tasted it, and grinned his teeth.
"This ...... How can there be mustard?! β
When I turned around, I saw that they were all covering their mouths and snickering, and Lai Mingjie laughed the most, it must have been his hands and feet, and he had to kill him back with a string of swords, and it was a lively meal.
Full of wine and food, the cool breeze, all of them collapsed on the chair, Qin Man was also tired of playing, closed his eyes to recuperate, and listened to the burps in his ears like frogs.
She heard the familiar footsteps approaching, and the moment she opened her eyes, the fireflies and flickering lights echoed in the wild flower fields that covered the mountains in the dark night, fluttering like stars in the sky.
Jiang Lian walked behind his back, and everyone made way for him.
"Qin Man."
Qin Man stood up in a daze, this figure finally fused perfectly with many fragments in his memory.
the one who had pointed a gun at her in the Wa State; the one who once walked on Sin Chau Island; The one who had been in the hallway of the city bureau walked towards her.
All the familiar shadows converged into the person in front of him.
The twinkling lights of the stars shone into the eyes of the two men, sparkling.
Jiang Lian stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, holding a palm-sized box in his hand, he solemnly opened it, and the platinum immediately refracted colorful light.
A box of two, a pair of rings, one large and one small, just a very simple wavy arc.
"Yours."
The people behind him covered their faces and reminded them.
"Team Jiang, you have to kneel down on one knee to propose......"
"Team Jiang, don't make a mistake, the lines of the marriage proposal are not like this......"
Jiang Lian stood straight, heard their whispers, and was so embarrassed that he picked up one of his trouser legs with one hand, and listened to the opinions and prepared to be serious.
Qin Man stretched out his hand to stop him, "No." β
She took off the ring, snapped his fingers, and paused.
"Which finger do you wear?"
The people behind him said that they had never seen a more embarrassing proposal scene, and there was really no suspense at all.
Jiang Lian tapped his left ring finger, Qin Man pushed the ring up, and his hand paused in mid-air.
"Alright, it's your turn."
Jiang Lian held her hand, extremely gentle enough to put it on for her, and before he leaned forward to kiss her, Qin Man jumped on top of him regardless of his image, hugged him like a koala, and lowered his head to "poof".
All the illusions of embarrassment are easily shattered.
They kissed openly in the cheers of all of them.
There is no need for any cumbersome romance, and there is no need to study these links too much, as long as it is this person.
"Jiang Lian."
"Hmm."
"You've bought a big ring."
"Then you take it off, and I'll take it for it."
Qin Man turned the ring on his finger, but he refused to take it off.
"I'm trying to get fatter."
They only looked at each other, and they couldn't see a little orange-red bonfire burning in the ravine to the southwest.
Heavy rain clouds weigh overhead, and it will be a sleepless night mixed with wind and rain.
