Chapter 51: Punishment (1)
The next day, the early morning sun quietly fell on the jade shoot peak again, the bamboo leaves, the grass tips were covered with crystal dewdrops, shining with the golden sun, the breeze blew, the round dewdrops, shaking heavily, then gracefully slid down to the ground, splashing a small splash.
The little chubby bear bag and orange cat girl who ran out early, bathed in the golden sunshine, stained with dew, got in and out of the grass, chased and frolicked, and enjoyed the beginning of a new day.
Chu Qing, Xiao Jiu and Granny Duan, who had eaten breakfast, sat together in the study of Feng Chu Building, drinking tea and chatting with each other.
After a night of excitement, Chu Qing obviously didn't rest well, her eyes were red, she yawned a few times, picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, cheered up, looked out of the window with a stagnant gaze, and a cool breeze blew in her face, which made her feel excited, her expression was refreshed, and she suddenly said: "Xiao Jiu, Master Zhao's salary has been settled." ”
Granny Duan glanced at Chu Qing, took over the conversation and said: "At that time, Xiao Jiu had been guarding the customs for you outside the sinkhole, for seven days and seven nights, this matter of building a house has always been handled by the old body and Master Zhao. ”
When Chu Qing heard this, her eyes were full of gratitude, she looked at Xiao Jiu, and said, "Xiao Jiu, thank you for guarding the customs for me. ”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, his face turned red, he smiled shyly, and then lowered his head, never daring to look at Chu Qing again.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu was so shy, Chu Qing smiled at the moment, looked at Granny Duan again, and continued: "These days, I have also worked hard for my mother-in-law. ”
Granny Duan smiled knowingly and said: "Some little things, Qing'er doesn't have to be so polite, the old body can get out of danger safely and come here safe and sound, and I have to thank Feng Gongzi a lot." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu looked at Granny Duan together, and Chu Qing asked tightly, "Why did Granny Duan say that she was out of danger?"
Granny Duan sighed lightly: "The old body has always only sought stability and is unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the outside world, but Na Liang is forced to do so. At this time, the old man was in the territory of Naluotian, and there was no place to live, so he had to go to Feng Gongzi for the time being. Granny Duan spoke very slowly, as if she was trying her best to hide her inner emotions.
Although it was a few simple words, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu had already understood that the reason why Granny Duan appeared in Cangqing Mountain was all because of the persecution of that Liang Zong, and there were some unimaginable encounters hidden in her words, so they didn't ask any more.
Several people fell silent for a while, and after a while, Chu Qing looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Master Zhao's son, the one named Zhao Tianbao, has been sent home safely." ”
Xiao Jiu and Chu Qing looked at each other, hurriedly avoided it, lowered their heads again, and nodded lightly.
Chu Qing let out an "oh", then frowned, and said, "That Zhao Tianbao, I have always felt a little strange, he seems to have a special resistance to some spells. ”
Hearing this, Granny Duan let out an "oh" in surprise, and then Chu Qing described how to get into the Falling Cloud Pavilion, how to find Zhao Tianbao in the prison cell, how to steal the big colorful flowers, and how to use illusions to stun Zhao Tianbao, and then found out how he woke up, and how he escaped from Xunxianglou later.
Such a frightening and dangerous process was described by Chu Qing as an understatement and full of fun, and Granny Duan understood in her heart that the young girl in front of her was definitely an extraordinary person, but she rushed to Zhao Tianbao before and after she spoke, and all kinds of situations were indeed suspicious.
After Chu Qing finished speaking, Granny Duan pondered for a moment and said, "Counting this Zhao Tianbao, plus Xiaoxiao of Falling Cloud Pavilion, Yuru and others, it seems that there are still many doubts to be found out in this Shimen Town, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns." ”
When Chu Qing heard this, she grinned and said, "It seems that I still have to go as a man again." Chu Qing said easily and proudly, as if she was very interested in her son's dress, and regarded these adventures as child's play.
Granny Duan smiled slightly, looked at Chu Qing and said, "Qing'er pretends to be a son, that is also Yushu Linfeng, and Xiao Jiu is really different." ”
Xiao Jiu heard Granny Duan say this, her face was happy, but she still didn't dare to look at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing grinned again and said, "Then, Xiao Jiu, let's go to Lao Zhao Xiaojiang Village as soon as possible, the craftsmen's hard-earned money can't be in arrears for too long, so as not to be talked about." ”
After hearing what Chu Qing said, Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously later.
Thinking of pretending to be a strongman to trick Xiao Jiu that day, Chu Qing smiled mysteriously, coughed lightly twice, and then turned pale, and said with a straight face: "It's better for Xiao Jiu, you should take the first step, we will meet at the entrance of the village, and I still have to make some preparations." ”
Xiao Jiu glanced at Chu Qing in surprise, a little dazed, but still nodded vigorously, but did not have the intention of getting up and leaving.
Seeing this, Chu Qing immediately turned down with a pretty face, and said with a fake anger: "I'm going to change clothes, don't you avoid it?"
When Xiao Jiu heard this, his face turned red to his neck, and he stood up in a panic, but he accidentally knocked the chair behind him to the ground, and hurriedly helped him twice before he straightened the chair, lowered his head all the way, and trotted out of the door to leave.
Seeing Xiao Jiu's back disappear outside the door, Granny Duan smiled and said lightly: "Xiao Jiu, this kid is honest and honest. After speaking, he glanced at Chu Qing deeply.
Chu Qing still looked out of the door, for fear that Xiao Jiu would turn around and come back again, so he unintentionally "hummed" lightly and muttered, "It's too honest, it's stupid." ”
Granny Duan pretended to sigh and said, "It's a good thing that people are stupid, you can rely on it." ”
Chu Qing didn't hear the voiceover, but twisted his nose disdainfully, and said disapprerovingly: "Looking for support, it's better to rely on Brother Feng, the person is smart, and the Tao is high." After speaking, a wistful smile appeared on his face.
Granny Duan saw it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything more, but her eyes were deep, and she turned her head out of the window, as if she was in thought.
At this time, the sun was already in the middle of the day outside the window, and the golden light on the jade shoot peak began to heat up, and the birds were hiding in the bamboo forest and under the eaves of the house and chirping constantly. The orange cat girl took advantage of the cover of the grass, and was cautiously crawling towards a bird, not far behind her, the little fat bear bag was also squatting behind a bush of weeds, staring nervously at the bird, just at the moment when the orange cat girl approached, the bird did not look at it, suddenly felt something, directly spread its wings and flew up, rushed to the blue sky, out of danger, and then circled gracefully, as if laughing at the two hunters below, before flying into the distance.
Chu Qing accompanied Granny Duan and sat quietly in the room, but her mind was already like that bird, flying out of the clouds, thinking about how to trick Xiao Jiu for a while, and thinking about Brother Feng for a while, her face was sometimes happy and sometimes sad, cloudy and uncertain.
Granny Duan peeked at Chu Qing twice, smiled knowingly, and then excused herself to make lunch, got up and pushed the door and left.
After saying goodbye to Granny Duan, Chu Qing thought about teasing Xiao Jiu again, and then laughed again, before walking upstairs, opening the wardrobe and preparing to change clothes, but found that the child's clothes she was wearing before were much smaller, and then she remembered again that she had grown a lot taller. looked at the skylight outside the window, and then thought about going to Shimen Town to buy a new set. When I went downstairs, I remembered that I wanted to take the little fat bear bag with me when I went out, but I searched all around, and finally I was nowhere to be found, so I opened the window and called a few times, and I waited for a long time without a trace.
was surprised, but heard Granny Duan in the small grass house next door shouting softly: "I'm afraid I'm going out to play with the girl, don't worry, they're fine together." ”
Chu Qing muttered in a low voice, "Heavy color and light friends!" looked at the sky again, then closed the window sash with his hand, and happily went all the way down the Jade Shoot Peak, all the way to Shimen Town.
There was suddenly such a pretty and lovely beautiful woman in Shimen Town, which really attracted the attention of many passers-by, and the aunts and aunts standing on the street looked sideways one after another, gathering together to comment on Chu Qing, as if they had returned to their youth, their eyes were full of envy and admiration. Some of the young men who were walking on the road also stopped and smiled and saluted, and a few bold people actually stepped forward to introduce themselves and start talking, but they were returned by Chu Qing one by one with white eyes, causing passers-by to laugh for a while, and those who were interested in smiling bitterly shook their heads, and had no choice but to leave, and there were also those who couldn't get accosted, and they were annoyed and angry, flicked their sleeves, looked disdainful on their faces, and muttered in their mouths, but they were stunned by Chu Qing's eyes that stopped when they heard the words.
After a while, accustomed to being noticed like this, Chu Qing didn't pay attention to it, but didn't care, walked in the market with a relaxed and calm expression, looked left and right, and found a coat shop, and suddenly had a better idea in her heart, that is, she wanted to learn to be a big brother Feng, buy a Confucian scarf and a shirt, and pretend to be a chic and elegant scholar, the more she thought about it at the moment, the more excited she became, and before she knew it, she came to the end of the street.
From a distance, I saw several people pushing and shoving in front of a store in front of me, mixed with insults, as if they were arguing about something, and passers-by also avoided and fled to this side.
Chu Qing's eyes rolled, and he reached out to grab an old man who had escaped, and asked what was happening ahead.
How do you know, the old man originally fled in panic, was pulled by someone suddenly, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, holding his head and shouting: "I'm just passing, I'm just passing." ”
When Chu Qing saw that he had fallen to the old man's house, he blamed himself for being too reckless, and immediately apologized, stepped forward and leaned over to help the old man, and said softly: "Old man, you don't have to be afraid, see who I am." ”
When the old man heard this, he dared to slowly let go of his hands holding his head, and looked up tremblingly, and saw that it was a young and beautiful girl, and he was relieved at the moment, but he looked back worriedly, and saw that it was far enough away from the store, so he panted and said, "Oh, it frightens me." ”
Chu Qing saw that the old man was so frightened, and thought that something must be wrong, so he asked softly: "Uncle, what is happening ahead, why are you like running away from the plague?"
