Chapter 9: You're Getting Strong Again
Jiang Qianrao got her wish and waited for Ji Xiaocheng's call.
"What should I say about you, you're being reckless again."
"How did you find out about me?" Jiang Qianrao chuckled, but her tone was naughty and angry, "Are you sending someone to spy on me?" β
"How so." Ji Xiaocheng's tone was very playful with the hurt of being misunderstood.
"My cousin also said that the bugging device last time was you a thief shouting to catch a thief!"
"How so?" Ji Xiaocheng's tone became serious, "That bugging device was indeed discovered by accident. I'm worried about you this time. You're hurt, it's not safe to go that far alone, it's-"
"I'll go with you." Jiang Qianrao took the initiative to make up the second half of Ji Xiaocheng's sentence.
Ji Xiaocheng laughed: "You know everything." Then it's time for you to tell me your answer. β
"So you begged me to let you go with me! I thought I was asking you to be by my side like a knight to protect me. β
"You promised?"
"Of course, someone drove me, brought water, packed food, and showed me the way...... I can't be happy! In this kind of thing in life, I can be happy to be a lazy person. β
"You've fallen too far."
"You asked for it yourself." Jiang Qianrao's tone was proud, and the matter was "happily" finalized.
The next day, the two got up early in the morning, met at the agreed place, and set off to pick up the raw materials and gems at their destination.
Everything went smoothly, and the highway between the city was easy, but the road from the town to the village was not easy.
It had just rained, the roads were muddy, and it was nearly dark. There was no place to live in the town, so Jiang Qianrao immediately decided that it was better to find a farmer in the village before midnight and stay at the farmer's house for a while.
Time was pressing, Jiang Qianrao asked Ji Xiaocheng to park the car in the town, then got out of the car and walked, Ji Xiaocheng supported her with one hand, held a flashlight in the other, and carried a backpack on his back, and asked, "Do you have to be in such a hurry?" β
βTime is money.β
Ji Xiaocheng was helpless, but he still chose to indulge.
The plaster has already hit the leg, no matter how much you move, it shouldn't be out of place, right?
The two walked on the dirt road, stepping on the road, one deep and one shallow, one large and one small.
Ji Xiaocheng tried his best to keep his pace consistent with Jiang Qianrao's, so that she could walk more comfortably.
The two of them were so close together that they could feel the body temperature almost across a layer of clothing. Jiang Qianrao was stunned, and she only had the village in front of her, but Ji Xiaocheng had a strange feeling.
An awkward but familiar feeling.
Ji Xiaocheng couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qianrao's face again.
No, it's not her, it's not her......
Jiang Qianrao tried her best to suppress her heartbeat, and was held in Ji Xiaocheng's arms again after a long time, she only felt creepy, if it weren't for the cover of clothes, in a bright place, she would definitely be able to see goosebumps all over her body.
The round moon was already shining brightly in the sky, quiet and kind, as if the Buddha statue was watching them.
If it's a Buddha statue, is it gaze, or is it judgment? Will she be judged, or will he be judged?
"Are you tired?" After walking for a while, Ji Xiaocheng asked intimately, "Do you need to take a break?" β
"Tired. But it's muddy everywhere, is there a place to rest? β
"There's a bridge there. We could go there and rest. Ji Xiaocheng pointed at the flashlight from afar, and with the help of the light of the flashlight, Jiang Qianrao really saw a bridge.
When he got on the bridge, he found that it was a broken bridge, Ji Xiaocheng touched the ruins of the broken wall above, and said: "This should be the bridge that has just been broken recently, and it hasn't had time to repair it yet." β
"Why?"
Ji Xiaocheng glanced at Jiang Qianrao strangely: "It has rained heavily recently, and the roads are muddy. It is estimated that when the river was rising, it was washed away. β
Jiang Qianrao nodded thoughtfully, didn't say anything more, she stretched out her hand, as if she was catching something in the air.
"Ji Xiaocheng, we seem to be in vain."
"It's raining."
Ji Xiaocheng was stunned for a few seconds, but he actually laughed. Jiang Qianrao was annoyed when she saw it, Jiang Qianrao pouted and asked, "Hey, what the hell are you laughing at!" β
"I'm laughing, this time, I can hug you."
Ji Xiaocheng said, and directly hugged Jiang Qianrao's entire princess. Jiang Qianrao exclaimed, but without reacting at all, the whole person was vacated, and the crutches in her hand were thrown into the sky.
Ji Xiaocheng's eyes were quick, he stretched out his left hand to catch the crutch, and then hugged Jiang Qianrao and quickly got off the bridge and found a place to stay.
Ji Xiaocheng put Jiang Qianrao under the eaves and asked with concern, "How is the place where it is drenched?" Are your clothes wet? β
Jiang Qianrao quickly took back the crutch from Ji Xiaocheng's hand, and grabbed it into her arms like a baby, as if she was not getting back a wooden crutch, but a sense of security.
Jiang Qianrao leaned her hand out of the eaves: "The rain is only starting to fall heavily now!" Luckily we ran fast and didn't get drenched. β
Ji Xiaocheng put his mind at ease and began to solve the problem: "When the rain stops, let's look at the map." If you have to get to the farmer's house tonight, we can't continue to be like headless flies. β
"Before we came here, didn't we just use navigation to drive? The village can be located, but the farmer's home is a location that is not marked on a certain map. β
Jiang Qianrao meant that Ji Xiaocheng was wasting his efforts in vain.
"You said that the peasant households do not live in the village, but in small wooden houses halfway up the mountain. We searched for each house in the village, and as long as we reached the halfway up the mountain and saw the cabin, it was our destination. β
Jiang Qianrao understood what Ji Xiaocheng meant, he wanted to use a certain map to plan the most reasonable route.
So, Jiang Qianrao took the initiative to lean over and look at her phone with Ji Xiaocheng.
Ji Xiaocheng didn't expect Jiang Qianrao's sudden approach, and the soft and good-smelling woman remembered to linger on the tip of his nose again, making his breathing stagnant again.
"You're really out of sight."
Jiang Qianrao turned her head in confusion: "What? β
Jiang Qianrao's eyes were shining, like a fox hunting at night, Ji Xiaocheng was in a trance for a moment, and shook his head: "It's nothing, look at the route." We had to find a route to get there the fastest. The signal in the village is not good, and our mobile phones have to be kept charged until we find a place to charge. β
Jiang Qianrao nodded approvingly.
By the time the two of them had chosen their route, the rain had stopped.
"The rain came suddenly, and it went quickly." Jiang Qianrao limped forward two steps, "Let's go, haven't we reached an agreement again just now?" β
Ji Xiaocheng took out a flashlight, strode to Jiang Qianrao's side, helped her up with his left hand, and walked forward.
The ground was already muddy, and since it had just rained again, the two of them stepped on the road at this time as if they were stepping on porridge with little rice.
In the lonely night, only the breathing of the two people close to each other, and the voice of a mechanical robot girl.
"Go two hundred meters to the left and turn left at the next junction."
"You've yawed, you've rerouted."
