Chapter 22: Heart-to-heart
There was a weed-like mass of plants clustered on the ground, all turquoise, so fluffy that it was covered with dew, and the oval shape was surrounded by raised green burrs, which were white dew and frost, and the appearance was exactly the same as that of Lee's teaching.
"It's a big mess, there are more than a dozen of them. Zhao Jiuge looked surprised, looked at Bai with joy on his beautiful face and said softly, his eyes widened, this was the first time he had seen Bai Lu as frost.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qingqing was even more excited than Zhao Jiuge, slightly opening her red lips, and the excited crimson on her delicate face was extremely cute, shouting there, while pointing to the white dew on the ground with her hand again and again, "Hurry up, quickly put away all these white dew for frost, I didn't expect to meet a medicinal herb all of a sudden, and there are so many." ”
Zhao Jiuge didn't wait for Bai Qingqing's instructions, so he hurriedly put these medicinal materials into the storage ring on his hand with his hand, and when he saw the ring, he couldn't help but think of his cheap master who was worry-free, except for leaving a Sanskrit Heart Sutra, there was only this storage ring, there was nothing in it, Zhao Jiuge had studied it for a long time, and found that there was nothing peculiar, wearing it on his hand, it looked so ordinary, and there was nothing attractive.
After putting the medicinal materials in, Zhao Jiuge looked at Bai Qingqing, who was slightly red because of excitement, and secretly thought in his heart, isn't it just to find a medicinal material, as for being so excited, besides, the seven kinds are only found one, and now they are all late at night, and a day will pass by the dawn, and there are only three days in total.
How did Zhao Jiuge know that although Bai Qingqing's family background was good since he was a child, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he never lacked anything needed in his cultivation, but because his family background was good, he rarely had the opportunity to go out alone, let alone go out to find medicinal materials and do such exciting things, although he was sixteen or seventeen years old, his cultivation strength was good, but he was still just a child's heart for the outside world, his ideas were relatively simple, and his feelings were relatively simple.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the cold in the mountains is getting heavier and heavier, Zhao Jiuge has cultivated the Sanskrit Sacred Body, and he doesn't feel much, the spiritual energy is slowly absorbed by himself and converted into spiritual power, and the spiritual power consumed by the use of the Sanskrit Sacred Body is also gradually recovering, but Bai Qingqing After the excitement of finding the white dew as frost just now, the enthusiasm retreated, and now he feels even colder, and his bones are cold, but he is stubborn and useless to run the spiritual power in his body.
Because in this strange place, Bai Qingqing's vigilance is very strong, and no one knows what dangerous situations will appear behind, from the words and solemn expressions of those coaches today, Bai Qingqing understands that there are some dangers in this Xuantian Mountain Range, although it is not from human danger, but some unknown geographical environment and unpredictable spirit beasts.
Therefore, Bai Qingqing just wants to use the spiritual power where it is needed at that time, rather than wasting it prematurely, at this point, Bai Qingqing, who has been nurtured since childhood, can understand this truth more thoroughly, on the other hand, Zhao Jiuge has been crawling and rolling all the way, not to mention the guidance on cultivation, and no one can even tell some basic experience, all by himself.
Girls are cool by nature, in this deep mountain, a cold wind blows, like a needle prick, Bai Qingqing subconsciously in this dark night, and tightly grasped Zhao Jiuge's arm, through the moonlight, Zhao Jiuge clearly found that Bai Qingqing's body was trembling slightly, and he didn't expect the weather in the mountains to be changeable, and he still felt a little pity in his heart.
"Otherwise, let's find a sheltered location first, let's practice all night, anyway, we can't see it at night, and we'll look for it at dawn tomorrow." Although he was eager to find all the medicinal materials as soon as possible and get the hundred points of tribute, he still said in a soft voice, looking at Bai Qingqing with an inquiring look in his eyes.
The cold wind blew the surrounding woods, the moonlight passed through these trees, and the shadows sprinkled on the ground were constantly shaking, Bai Qingqing's little face kept looking around nervously, hearing Zhao Jiuge's words, he nodded again and again, he just wanted this night to pass early, when he was at home, even if he went out, he had guards and was more together, not to mention that he had never been to such a remote place, he knew that he would not come to look for medicine, and he thought that the task was so interesting when he started first.
"Hehe, I thought Miss Bai was so great, she still had such a big tone today, saying that with you, take the first place safely, hey, look at the current look, the little face is white, why is the contrast so big. ”
Zhao Jiuge, who had found all the medicinal materials, was in a good mood, and it was so smooth at first, seeing Bai Qingqing's embarrassed look, he still had some schadenfreude in his heart for some reason, looking up at the sky, pretending to talk to himself, with a joking look on his face, but with a smile in his eyes.
"You... You..."Seeing Zhao Jiuge's angry teeth-itching appearance, listening to the cheap words, Bai Qingqing's eyes suddenly widened angrily, and he looked at Zhao Jiuge through gritted teeth, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find the words to refute it, and finally snorted, turned his head, and simply ignored Zhao Jiuge.
Seeing Bai Qingqing's deflated appearance, Zhao Jiuge laughed proudly, this is the first time he has seen Bai Qingqing deflated, thinking that at the beginning, when he met Bai Qingqing for the first time on Qitian Road, he was a little afraid of contacting her for some reason, and later through getting along, he had some changes in his impression of her.
Bai Qingqing sulked in her heart, her head twisted to the side and she didn't look at Zhao Jiuge, but her hand was still holding Zhao Jiuge's arm tightly, her seductive red lips were bulging, and her long black hair was blown down by the cold wind, and it landed on the collar of the blue sword robe.
Zhao Jiuge grew up near the mountains since he was a child, and he often haunts the mountains to hunt, so he is quite familiar with the environment in the mountains, and after a while with Bai Qingqing, he found a rock wall at the foot of the mountain.
There is a wind on his back, there is no howling invasion of the cold wind, Bai Qingqing feels a little better, and he doesn't dislike the dirt on the rocks, so he sits on the ground like that, his legs side by side on his chest, his forehead is cute on his legs, his hands are wrapped around his legs, curled up, is it not looking up at the starry sky, looking at it.
Seeing Bai Qingqing's movements, Zhao Jiuge also learned in a similar way, curious about what Bai Qingqing was looking at, and raised his head with a puzzled face to look at the starry sky at night, starry, for a while Zhao Jiuge sighed at the impermanence of heaven and the arrangement of fate, so that he and this strange girl, who had not known each other for a long time, coexisted under this night sky in such an identity.
Thinking about it, Zhao Jiuge's dark eyes were also a little distracted, and the two of them didn't speak for a long time, each thinking about their own thoughts. Half-loud, Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked at Zhao Jiuge's side face, this strange silence made her a little unaccustomed, her throat moved, and a crisp voice sounded.
"Hey, what are you thinking in a daze? ”
Zhao Jiuge didn't know how to speak for a long time, and it took a long time before he slowly said a few words: "I miss home." At the same time, he lowered his head, his expression was a little lonely, and his radiant eyes just now had become dim.
Zhao Jiuge was homesick, thinking of his dilapidated adobe house, and the old man who had lived with him for more than ten years, although Xuantian Sword Gate was good at everything, but after all, it was not as good as the home where he grew up, and he took a long breath of this cold air, as if he wanted to use this cold air to numb himself a little, freezing his emotions.
Bai Qingqing's beautiful eyes blinked, and when he saw Zhao Jiuge's expression, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, and his voice was still a little soft and fluttering, as if he couldn't hear it faintly in the whistling wind blowing nearby.
"My home is not in the mainland of the Chinese Dynasty, but on the coast of the East China Sea in the east, I have no mother since I was a child, my father brought me up, especially spoiled me, everything will satisfy me, hold me in the palm of my hand, I have been like a princess since I was a child, everyone revolves around me, I seem to be beautiful, but after being sensible, I slowly become unhappy, because I see other people's children have mothers, and I often secretly shed tears at night, my father supports a family, it is enough to work, I don't want to disturb him because of this, many people envy me, in fact, I would rather not have everything I have now, I just want to live happily as a familyThis seems to be a simple wish, but it may not be realized in this life, my Bai family because of the power, there are a lot of enemies, I am afraid that my father will leave me one day, so I thought for a long time before I decided to come to apprentice, to be cultivated to succeed in the time to go back to help my father, as long as a person has sustenance, hope, and goals, so that his path will be more firm. ”
Bai Qingqing was talking to herself alone for a long time, as if she was talking to Zhao Jiuge, but Zhao Jiuge didn't ask anything, just listened patiently, Bai Qingqing's words also brought Zhao Jiuge's thoughts to his childhood.
After a long time, Bai Qingqing finished telling the story from her childhood to adulthood, but Bai Qingqing's mood did not change much from beginning to end, as if she was telling something completely irrelevant to herself, but her voice was a little choked at the end.
This made Bai Qingqing's impression of Zhao Jiuge completely change dramatically, where did she still have that enchanting temperament at this time, which made Zhao Jiuge afraid.
Now I see a pitiful look, like a little girl next door, Zhao Jiuge wanted to play a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say, his lips moved for a long time, and finally he said weakly.
"At least you still have a father, I haven't even seen my father and mother since I was a child, and I was picked up by an old man and relied on each other for more than ten years, and then even my last relative left me. ”
When Zhao Jiuge's words fell, Bai Qingqing, who was secretly sad, was full of shock, and looked up at Zhao Jiuge incredulously, never expecting that some mysterious Zhao Jiuge still had such a story.
Bai Qingqing, who still had a few tears on her eyelashes, suddenly smiled, stretched out her white and tender right palm, and gently stroked Zhao Jiuge's sideburns, with a soft tone.
"Don't worry, there will be a sister here in the future, and I guarantee that no one can bully you. The pear blossoms in the rain suddenly burst out like spring buds blooming with a warm smile, the sharp contrast made Zhao Jiuge stunned, but what made him even more stunned was the words in Bai Qingqing's mouth, at this time, like a lion overflowing with maternal love, protecting his cubs.
Zhao Jiuge's delicate face showed a look of consternation, and he waited for Bai Qingqing stupidly.
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's expression, Bai Qingqing laughed completely happily, burst into tears and laughed, for a while, in this cold wind in the deep mountains, young people from the east and the south told each other's hearts tightly to each other, of course, it was just a friendship, not the love between men and women.
"Woo... Woooooo
Just when Zhao Jiuge was about to open his mouth to speak, a terrible cry broke the silence in the middle of the night, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing's expressions suddenly changed, and they became nervous, and the two of them hurriedly released their spiritual power in no particular order, wrapping themselves firmly, and for a while, the originally harmonious atmosphere became a little dignified.
