Chapter 256: The End of the Alley

At noon on this day, Liuyun City in spring is the most noisy and prosperous time, and the streets where shops such as Nanbaofang gather are crowded and lively. However, compared with the noise of the southern city, the east city where the ancestral houses of many old families are located seems to be much quieter, and although there are many pedestrians on the wide and flat road, there is not too much noise in front of the majestic old houses.

Zhong Qingzhu walked out of the old mansion of the Zhong family, walking on the road expressionlessly, behind her, some servants of the Zhong family showed a little envy on her back, who doesn't know now, the two young ladies of the Zhong family are the most influential figures in the Lingxiao Sect, and they have earned back some face for the Zhong family, who was once in the middle of the road, and no one in the Zhong family dares to underestimate them.

But if you really want to talk about the past who was underestimated or something, in fact, it refers to Zhong Qingzhu alone, she is not from a very good background, and when she came to join the Zhong family alone with her mother since she was a child, she is no different from the ordinary descendants of the Zhong family. Who would have thought that this quiet and introverted little girl would have such achievements as she did today in the future? As for Zhong Qinglu, that is the daughter of the head of the family, Zhong Liancheng, who has been a pearl in the Zhong family since she was a child, which servant dares to despise her after eating a bear's heart leopard.

Now that the times have changed, everything is different from the past, because of Zhong Qingzhu, her mother's status in the Zhong family is also rising. Zhong Qingzhu has average feelings for the rest of the Zhong family, but he has grown up with his mother since he was a child, and this relationship cannot be given up at any time, so once he has time to go down the mountain and return to the city today, he will return to the Zhong family to visit his mother as soon as possible.

It's just that after visiting, her mood is not very good, maybe her mother's Liu family is weak, and her ears are also very soft, I don't know if she was persuaded by the Zhong family several times on weekdays, after meeting her daughter, from time to time she told Zhong Qingzhu to respect the Zhong family and repay the Zhong family, and always put the words that the Zhong family is a great favor to our mother and daughter.

Zhong Qingzhu sighed in his heart, but he didn't quarrel with his mother, most of the time he was silent, but later, the Liu family mentioned the marriage to her again, and the meaning between the words is probably that you are not young now, and the head of the family has found a very suitable young talent, Qingzhu, you should consider Yunyun.

Such words touched Zhong Qingzhu a little taboo, and he didn't want to do these things under the pretext of his mother's affairs, but he was a little more angry with Zhong Liancheng in his heart. Speaking of this, she has no intention of staying for a long time, otherwise she is afraid that Zhong Liancheng will run over by herself again and say something that she has not, and she will sulk again. So after accompanying her mother for a while, she walked out of Zhong's house.

Just walking to the streets here in Dongcheng, Zhong Qingzhu's mood was already a lot worse, thinking of her mother's words, and she was always full of gratitude to the Zhong family, insisting on living in the Zhong family and refusing to move out, Zhong Qingzhu also felt a lot of headaches. was so full of thoughts, walking and walking, I don't know when she looked up, and suddenly saw a mansion in front of her, but it was the ancestral house of the Xu family.

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated, but walked over, and the gatekeeper of the Xu family greeted him, the porter of this family has the broadest vision, and he recognized at a glance that this is the Miss Zhong family who has come before, and now it is the time when the limelight is in full swing, where do you dare to slack off, and she said hello and smiled and took it in.

When she arrived in the living room, it didn't take long for Xu Xueying to come over to see her, Zhong Qingzhu didn't mean to meet a few adults of the Xu family, she was also a little happy to see Xu Xueying, and then planned to stop by with her to see Ling Chunni.

At the beginning, there was that encounter of living and dying together, maybe there was some friendship, right?

Or, just subconsciously, do you think that there is a chance that you will meet someone?

He has always been very witty in his daily life, if he told him that he was being forced to marry by the elders of the family, what might he do, or what would he feel after hearing about it?

Zhong Qingzhu was a little stunned, but when she came back to her senses and just wanted to go to Xiyuan, she saw that Xu Xueying did not mean to take a step, but stood in place with a somewhat strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Qingzhu asked strangely.

Xu Xueying hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Qingzhu, Sister Chunni, she has already left our Xu family early this morning. ”

Zhong Qingzhu was taken aback and said, "She's gone." ”

Xu Xueying sighed and said, "Yes, I also persuaded her that she didn't have to leave, just stay like this." But she insisted on leaving, and I couldn't do it. ”

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment and said, "Sister Snow Shadow, do you know where she is now?"

Xu Xueying shook her head and said, "I don't know, I heard that she is leaving here and going to find another place to live in the city." Oh, by the way," she seemed to remember something, took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Zhong Qingzhu, and then said, "This is left by Sister Chunni, saying that when Brother Shen comes over in the future, he will ask him to go there to find her." ”

Zhong Qingzhu raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes swept over the paper, and he saw a line of beautiful handwriting on the paper, which seemed to be the address of a house in a certain street or alley in Liuyun City, nodded immediately, and returned it to Xu Xueying, saying: "I see, then you take it first, and then you will give it to him when Shen Shi comes." ”

With that, she turned around and walked out, Xu Xueying shouted behind her and asked, "Sister Qingzhu, are you going to find Sister Chunni?"

Zhong Qingzhu's footsteps paused, but he said indispensably: "It depends on the situation, if I am free, maybe I will go over and have a look." ”

After speaking, she went without looking back, leaving Xu Xueying to stand in the living room for a moment, then shook her head and took the blank paper back into her arms, but after a while, she looked a little happier again, and said, "Okay, at least next time Brother Shen will come over again, and then I will tell him to go see Sister Chunni together......"

The long street is long, the pedestrians are weaving, Zhong Qingzhu walked through the crowd, and unconsciously walked from the east city to the lively south city. Looking at the many monks walking on the street in the bustling street where the shops gathered, she didn't have the slightest thought on it, for some reason, she always felt that the mood of this day seemed to be a little depressed.

She suddenly wanted to drink.

Think about it, the last time she drank the fine wine, it seems to be drunk with Ling Chunni, and the taste of that wine is very unique, which has impressed her so far. But I don't seem to remember what the wine was called......

Zhong Qingzhu walked along, while recalling the name of the elegant and mellow wine in his mind, and subconsciously walked to the address on the white paper, perhaps, go to her to drink a little wine?

However, what kind of mood will you feel after seeing her?

Why did you want to meet that woman?

Zhong Qingzhu felt that her mind was so entangled and strange, and even she herself didn't quite understand her own mind, but she finally put aside a thought and walked over.

The address is in Nancheng, but it is still some distance away from the most prosperous and lively Nanbaofang, which should be somewhere on the edge of Nancheng and Xicheng. Zhong Qingzhu grew up in Liuyun City since he was a child, and he was very familiar with the city, so it didn't take much effort to find the street that looked a little deserted.

Standing on that street, Zhong Qingzhu naturally remembered the scene when she first saw Ling Chunni, the house where Ling Chunni lived at that time seemed to be a very secluded place, could it be that she was also quiet by nature?

Or is she planning to find a house in this quiet place, and she will be with Shen Shi in the future......

Zhong Qingzhu shook his head suddenly, his face turned slightly pale, his expression seemed to be a little cold, he took a deep breath silently, as if he wanted to leave his inexplicable thoughts behind, and after being silent for a while, he continued to walk forward.

Walking all the way through the long street, there were few pedestrians on the road, and soon she saw the alley written on the white paper, and sure enough, it was on the side of the road. As soon as she turned around and walked in, there were several houses on both sides of the alley, all of which looked like small mortal households, and when she walked inside, the alley gradually became quiet.

The house at the end of the alley, that is the address of the residence clearly written on the paper.

Zhong Qingzhu continued to walk forward, there were brick walls and stones on both sides of the alley, and there seemed to be no portal nearby, Zhong Qingzhu frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. Ahead, there was a corner in the alley that bent, Zhong Qingzhu pondered in his heart, and walked through the corner.

Then, her body jerked and froze in place.

In front of her, there was a stone wall more than two people high, and nothing else.

This alley has come to an end.

The breeze was bleak, and the cold was blowing.

In the empty alley, Zhong Qingzhu stood there a little dazedly, looking at the stone wall in a daze, and suddenly felt a little chilly, faintly flooding his body.

On this day, Shen Shi was busy in Liuyun City for most of the day, walking around and trying his best to find some spiritual materials he needed in these shops where spiritual materials gathered, including some pills or other things, but in the end, when he counted his harvest, he found that most of the things were still bought in the shops of the Immortal Society.

The name of the world's first chamber of commerce is indeed true.

With the box of talismans given by Master Pu Old Man, he was bold, and it can be said that he directly filled one of his biggest shortcomings, after all, the way of using talismans in the Five Elements Technique is of course the most powerful, but from another point of view, this kind of strength is piled up with countless spirit crystals, and he has always been poor.

Fu Zhen has a guarantee, now he is trying to prepare some elixir left, after returning to the mountain this time, he plans to find Zhong Qinglu again, maybe in the days before going to the Sizheng Conference, she should be able to refine a few more high-level elixirs, but usually some practical low-level elixirs still have to be prepared.

At the same time, he still remembered Senior Sister Xu Yanzhi's advice, so he also bought three additional Ruyi bags here in the Immortal Society, and when he bought Ruyi bags to pay the bill, Shen Shi suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, thinking that if he was unlucky and found nothing in the Secret Realm of Wentian, then bringing so many Ruyi bags in, I am afraid it would be a joke.

In short, after packing up, he went out of the city and returned to the mountain, and saw that it was almost dusk. All the way to the shore of the sea, I saw from afar that there were many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect also waiting on the shore, thinking that they were all waiting for the immortal boat that crossed the sea.

However, in the crowd, Shen Shi unexpectedly found Zhong Qingzhu's figure, she was standing alone outside the crowd, looking at the sea, as if she was contemplating something. Shen Shi walked over and shouted with a smile, "Qingzhu." ”

Zhong Qingzhu's body shook, turned his head to look at him, for some reason, Shen Shi suddenly felt that there was some strange love in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Qingzhu, what's wrong with you?"

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's fine." ”

Shen Shi smiled: "Oh, that's good, when did you go down the mountain, where did you go today?"

Zhong Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, a glimmer of light in his bright eyes, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Shi.
