Chapter 68: Jiang Hosta
The next day, the snow began to clear.
Originally, Lu Qi was going to take Xiaozhi to a place today, but yesterday he made an appointment with Jiang Yujian to meet in the afternoon, so he postponed it until tomorrow.
After lunch, Xiaozhi paced around the courtyard, and she couldn't bear to think that a catastrophe was about to come when she waited for Jiang Hosta.
She rubbed her belly and sat down in a rocking chair covered with cloud brocade under the cloister.
Although he was very angry that Jiang Yujia disregarded human life in order to complete his mission, it seemed very cruel to tie her up in front of him and let him kill her.
Xiaozhi felt that he might not be ruthless, but if he let her go, he would inevitably suffer too much from that kick.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to take advantage of Jiang Yuqi's preoccupation to go shopping on the street first, and let Lu Qi deal with it.
The white fennel counts the twigs along the way, and the heart is too soft, and sooner or later it will suffer.
But Xiaozhi didn't think so, she didn't want to let go of Jiang Yujia, she just threw this stall to Lu Qi.
Because the two didn't want a group of little devils to follow, and wanted to buy more fresh things, Xiaozhi carried the bamboo basket on his back, saving him the tiredness of carrying a large bag and a small bag.
The two walked from the west of the city to the south of the city, and then to the east of the city. This Qinglan City is deep in the mountains, and most of the shops on the street are opened by demons and monsters, although the things are novel, they are not quite in line with the aesthetics of the human being.
And Xiaozhi was always thinking about Jiang Yujia, and he was not in the mood to choose carefully, so he walked down a few streets, and neither of them bought a few things.
There was a long queue at the door of a shop in the east of the city, and Bai Fennel's eyes lit up, sniffed, and said, "Xiaozhi, you smell, it's a fragrant roast pig's trotter." ”
Xiaozhi remembered what Yan Yan said yesterday about the Chengdong Roast Pig's Trotter Shop, it could be this one, it looks really good.
After walking for nearly an hour, and the lunch was almost digested, the two glanced at each other, and then tacitly lined up at the back of the line.
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, but fortunately, the first few mountain demons were chatting about the gossip news of Qinglan City in recent days, and Xiao Zhi and Bai Fennel listened to it by the way.
"Have you heard? Someone found a heavy bird in the nearby mountains, but unfortunately it didn't catch it, otherwise it would have been sold for a good price. ”
"Chongming Bird, fake, right? That kind of ancient divine bird, how can it be easily discovered?"
"That's not necessarily, haven't you heard? Someone in this city spent ten poppies to invite the ghost lord Qianwei out of the mountain, just to catch the heavy bird. ”
"Wow, Ghost Lord Qianwei, that's a great man, it seems that this Chongming Bird really appeared in the deep mountains near Qinglan City. By the way, what's the use of her asking for poppies?"
"Ha, have you forgotten that the ghost lord Qianwei's elder brother, the ghost king Qianqu, loves to eat that poppy fruit the most, but unfortunately for three thousand years, no one knows where he is. She wants Jing Poppy, hasn't she already found the whereabouts of the Ghost King?"
"In what year, there must be a few gossip that I saw the ghost king appear. ”
"Although Jing Poppy is worth a lot of money, it can't be compared with Chongming Bird, don't say ten, it's a hundred, this is also a loss-making business, I don't know if the ghost master Qianwei can accept it?"
"I don't know, but the bird is extremely cunning, and it won't be easy to catch it. ”
"I don't know what the taste of that heavy bird is, and I don't know which one is better than this roasted pig's trotters?"
"All I know is that if I catch a heavy bird, the money from selling it will be enough for me to eat roast pig's trotters for a lifetime. ”
......
Xiao Zhi touched Bai Fen with his elbow and said, "Ten Jing Poppy Fruits? Fennel, you say, could this person be Jiang Yujia? But what does she want to do with the Ming Bird?"
"It's very likely to be her, it seems that Jiang Yujia's purpose in coming to Qinglan City is not just to find Lu Qi. ”
Bai Fennel moved forward, thinking to herself that the poppy fruit was really so delicious, or was it the ghost king's unique taste? She had heard Xiaozhi say that this poppy fruit and her red bean fruit were similar varieties, and it seemed that she would have to go back to Xiaozhi to ask for a red bean fruit to taste.
"Jiang hosta. ”
"What?"
Xiaozhi approached the white anise, stretched out his hand, and said, "I saw Jiang Yuqi." ”
Bai Fennel looked in the direction of the twig's finger, and saw that in front of the long line, a woman in Tsing Yi came out of the roast pig's trotter shop, looking at them, dignified and beautiful, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, it was not Jiang Yujia.
Didn't she go to Lu Qi? Why did she appear in this shop roasting pig's trotters?
Jiang Yujian nodded to the two, but did not come over, but turned around and went into the small alley next to the shop.
Xiaozhi and Bai Fennel glanced at each other, but they didn't understand the current situation, to follow or not to follow?
"I'm going to beat her up!" Bai Wei said, rubbing his hands.
"I want to kick her!" Xiaozhi stomped her foot, Jiang Yuqi's smile just now really poked her heart, why was she embarrassed to smile at herself.
What else to eat roast pig's trotters, the two followed up the alley at the moment.
As soon as they entered the alley, they found something strange.
On both sides of the alley are high white walls, and at a glance, it is a dead alley, except where they just entered, there is no other exit, but Jiang Yujia is gone.
Bai Fen Fen retreated in her heart, she pulled the twig and planned to withdraw, but as soon as she turned around, the street behind her that was originally full of people was gone, and she couldn't smell the smell of roast pig's trotters that were fragrant for ten miles.
Front and back, left and right, four white walls, they seem to be birds confined in high walls.
Xiaozhi touched the wall next to him and said, "Don't be afraid, there must be a spell cast here, but I can't see it for a while, since Jiang Yuqi has brought us here, there must be the next move, let's wait and see." ”
Bai Fennel is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and quickly calmed down, and the two held hands and walked deeper into the alley.
Seeing that the wall was there, but the two of them walked for a long time, they couldn't reach the wall, and the wall seemed to move backwards.
The two didn't want to leave anymore, and planned to sit down and wait for Jiang Yujia to appear.
At this time, a purple hosta flower suddenly appeared on the white wall, and the white anise said "huh", and pulled the twig and walked a few steps forward.
As they walked forward, there were more and more hosta flowers on the white wall, and soon countless purple hostas bloomed on the walls on both sides of them and on the walls behind them.
"Jiang Yujia is doing these messy tricks, but she is in a hurry. White Fennel rolled her eyes at the hosta flowers around her.
Xiaozhi said casually: "Do you think these flowers will fall down and bury us?"
"No......"
Before Bai Fennel finished speaking, they saw that the hosta flowers on the high wall were like purple clouds gradually gathering above their heads, and in the surprised eyes of the two, they all smashed down.
When the two of them waved away the purple hosta smashed on their bodies, there was no longer that small alley in front of them, and they were in a sea of hosta flowers that could not be seen.
"This, this row of noodles is too big!" Bai Fenn couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiaozhi ignored Bai Fennel, her eyes looked at Jiang Hosta who was standing in the sea of hosta flowers, staring at them coldly.
