Chapter 160: Matters of the Heart
Granny Duan looked around and said lightly, "Qing'er, mother-in-law is much better, what kind of place is this?"
Chu Qing retracted her gaze from the direction where Lin Xianniang disappeared when she heard the voice, but she still looked full of worries, as if she hadn't noticed what Granny Duan had just said, and she was stunned for a while.
Granny Duan saw that Chu Qing was preoccupied, so she didn't ask any more questions, but raised her eyes to look around, and said in a low voice, "Such a fine magic circle." ”
Chu Qing was stunned, came back to her senses, and wanted to tell Granny Duan everything here, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed it back, because she really didn't know how to talk about it, could it be that she said that the Demon Sect Shadow Confusion was sealed here, and the person who claimed to be her father was sealed?
Thinking about the words left by Lin Xianniang when she left, could she really blame Feng Shuzhu? Suddenly so many things happened, and she really didn't know how to face it, Chu Qing unconsciously let out a slight sigh, lowered her head silently, and her eyes became blank.
Granny Duan saw it in her eyes, straightened her body, thought about it and sighed: "Qing'er, in order to take care of your mother-in-law, you are tired of it, don't think about it so much, you better rest and rest." ”
After listening to Granny Duan, Chu Qing suddenly felt really tired, she inadvertently turned her gaze, and saw that the little chubby bear bag beside her seemed to have made some new discoveries, and looked in the direction of the Demon Suppression Monument from time to time.
Chu Qing also turned her gaze and looked there quietly, she really wanted to go in again, she wanted to ask for clarification, but even if she thought so in her heart, her body was as heavy as iron, and she didn't want to move, she just stunned there.
Because she didn't know how she was going to ask, what would happen after she asked, and what she could do.
The people around him were quiet, as if they had noticed Chu Qing's depressed mood, Chu Qing thought about it, and didn't pay attention to it, but stood up and slowly walked in the direction where Lin Xianniang disappeared.
The surroundings were silent, only walking a short distance forward, Huo Ran flickered in front of his eyes, and the familiar desert appeared, empty and desolate, with undulating lines, leading into the distance, full of pale yellow, like withered leaves.
Behind Chu Qing was the ancient poplar tree, and the door was still visible next to the tree, the door that was shining.
She stared into the distance, as if something had attracted her, but her gaze was hollow, she seemed to be just staring at it so stupidly, she should have thought of nothing.
Unconsciously, the sunset in the desert, and the large clouds dyed red in the far sky, are indiscriminate, just like who is in an uncertain mood?
Suddenly, under the large red halo, where it met the horizon, several black shadows appeared, at first, it was just a dot, and the shadows were moving, and then slowly extended out and pulled into a long row.
It was a caravan of camels, slowly walking this way.
They seem to have walked for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, from ancient times to the present, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, unhurried, always a constant rhythm.
Chu Qing stood up straight, blinked his eyes, and hurriedly raised his hand to his forehead, blocking the slightly dazzling sunset halo and looking over.
When the camels approached, Chu Qing's eyes were surprised, and she showed a happy smile, because she found that Xiao Jiu and Yuru were actually sitting on the camels' backs.
Xiao Jiu was also surprised to see Chu Qing, jumped off the camel, turned around and stretched out his arms to hug Yuru down, and the two walked over at the same time.
Chu Qing glanced at Yuru, it seemed that her condition was much better, although she still wrapped her face in white stripes.
Xiao Jiu and Yuru stepped forward, suppressed the joy in their hearts, and shouted, "Qing'er." As he spoke, he glanced at the poplar tree behind Chu Qing and the mysterious door, as if he was a little surprised.
Chu Qing originally had a lot of things in her heart, and when she saw Xiao Jiu at this time, it was like seeing relatives in a foreign land, and her mood was naturally a little better, but when she saw Yuru, she still controlled this feeling, and said lightly: "You guys are walking so fast." ”
Xiao Jiu looked at Chu Qing carefully, and after relieving himself, he also said happily: "It's okay if everyone is fine." While speaking, his hand kept holding Yuru's hand.
Yuru didn't say anything, just nodded lightly to Chu Qing as a sign of politeness.
Chu Qing looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and hesitated: "Granny Duan, it's inside." ”
Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, turned her head slightly, looked at Yuru beside her, and the hand holding her was obviously a little tighter.
Yuru also looked at Xiao Jiu, sighed slightly, but said very plainly: "She didn't do it on purpose, so why should we repay each other." Besides, I think it's good now. As she spoke, her hand also clenched Xiao Jiu.
Although she couldn't see Yuru's expression, Chu Qing could hear her relief from her tone, and Fang Cai's hesitation and worry all went away immediately, and she was also relieved, and listened to Xiao Jiu again: "I don't know how Granny Duan is now?"
Chu Qing glanced at Yuru before replying: "Mother-in-law, she is indeed unable to control her will for a long time because of the demonic poison in her body. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiu turned his gaze to the door behind Chu Qing, and said lightly, "Mother-in-law is there?"
Chu Qing nodded, and continued: "We already know the method of cracking the demonic poison. Sister Shui and Lin Xianniang have gone to find the materials they need to detoxify."
Hearing this, Yuru let go of Xiao Jiu's hand, stepped forward and said, "Sister is here too?"
Chu Qing understood that the sister in her mouth was referring to Jiusheng Tianzun Lin Xianniang, so she replied lightly: "Well, it's just because of something, she has just left." After speaking, seeing Yuru's body move, she seemed to be a little disappointed because she missed it.
Xiao Jiu kept staring at the fantasy door behind him, and interrupted, "Why didn't you see Granny Duan come out?"
Chu Qing could see and hear that Xiao Jiu was a little puzzled about what was behind the door, so he was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
At this time, there was a gentle sound behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Granny Duan walking out of the door with the orange cat girl and the little fat bear bag.
Chu Qing stood in place, just watching, without any movement, Xiao Jiu saw Granny Duan looking over, hesitated for a moment, but still walked up two steps and said hello.
Yuru, who was standing next to Chu Qing, didn't speak, glanced at Xiao Jiu twice, but turned her gaze in another direction, as if she was chasing Lin Xianniang who was gone.
Xiao Jiu helped Granny Duan and walked to the two of them, most of the things since entering the desert, Granny Duan didn't remember, let alone think that Yuru's situation today was all due to herself, so she didn't think much about it except for looking at this masked girl with her head and masked face, not to mention that Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu didn't introduce them to themselves, so they didn't ask more.
And Yuru has been looking into the distance, very distracted.
Granny Duan withdrew her gaze from Yuru and said, "Qing'er, it's getting late, we still have to find a place to spend the night, after all, the magic circle is not a place to stay for a long time." ”
Chu Qing snorted, but turned his head and looked around, except for a barren desert, where to go.
At this time, I heard Xiao Jiu suddenly say: "What's so difficult about this, although we have lost some camels along the way, we still keep the most precious materials." As he spoke, he and Yuru turned back to the camel, and soon unloaded a few large tightly wrapped packages.
Seeing this, Chu Qing and Granny Duan also walked over, and the four of them worked together, and soon opened the package, revealing materials such as felt mats for setting up tents.
Chu Qing looked around, looked at the door again, thought about it carefully, and said, "We, it's better to stay away from that magic circle." ”
Xiao Jiu raised his head and looked at the door again, staring at it for a while, although he had never understood what the "magic circle" in the mouths of Granny Duan and Chu Qing was, he obviously paid more attention to the things inside that door.
Granny Duan straightened up, also looked back at the door, and said, "What Qing'er said is also right, but let's not go too far, lest it be difficult to find us when Ling'er comes back." ”
Chu Qing listened, turned his head to look around, and pointed to a sand mountain that was not too high: "It's better to go to the back of there, it's also a good place to shelter from the wind, and it's a good place to hide." ”
Everyone turned their heads and nodded in agreement.
The men drove the camels, and after a while they came to the back of the sand mountain, and soon set up a tent.
The little fat bear bag was the first to get in, followed by Xiao Jiu and Yuru, the two seemed to be together for everything, inseparable, and finally Chu Qing and Granny Duan also walked in with the orange cat girl.
At this time, when night fell, the unique loneliness and desert on the desert hit, although there was no wind and sand, but there was still a chill from afar, from the earth.
But the people who were already in the tent were relieved at the moment, and finally had a place to stay and shelter from the wind and sand.
Chu Qing looked inside the tent and let out a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a thousand catties of heavy burden.
Granny Duan said with a smile: "In order to take care of the old body, let Qing'er bother. ”
When Chu Qing heard this, she smiled reluctantly, in the eyes of others, Chu Qing acted like this, she just thought that she was really tired, but everything came to her heart, and she was a little breathless, who could taste it?
Xiao Jiu, who was standing on the side, looked at Chu Qing twice, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he wanted to say something, but turned his gaze to Yuru, asked twice in a low voice, helped her to walk towards the tent, found a corner, settled her to lie down and rest, and sat on the side with him.
When Chu Qing saw it, she seemed to think of something, turned around and walked to Granny Duan's side, gently stretched out her hand, and helped her to go to another corner to lie down and rest.
The orange cat girl followed closely, jumped slightly, got into Granny Duan's arms, and snuggled up.
The little chubby bear bag walked around the tent, as if no one was interested, and there was no novelty, so he changed his laziness in the past, walked to the door of the tent, and looked outside from time to time, a little unrelenting.
Inside the tent, there was a sudden silence, everything was quiet, and everyone seemed to have their own thoughts.
