Chapter 174 Chapter 174

Xu Ji suddenly looked up at him, because Song Qingzhai didn't say that her parents were "spirits in heaven", she hesitated for a moment, and she remained silent.

Song Qingzhai took the initiative and said, "Aqi, can you show me around the city? They will be more comfortable if we are not here."

Xu Ji got up and led Song Qingzhai to walk on the wide streets of Xu Cheng.

In the center of the main street of Xucheng is the carriage road, which is more than enough for four carriages in parallel. There is a flower pond in the middle of the road. Cypress trees are planted in the pond, and the crown of the tree has been pruned into various shapes, which is beautiful and interesting.

Drought-tolerant flowers and plants are planted between every two trees.

A row of trees is also planted beside the carriageway, with pine, willow, and peach trees spaced apart, and the inner side of the trees is a narrower sidewalk.

There is an intersection some distance away.

Xu Ji explained to Song Qingzhai the reason for such a setting while walking.

Song Qingzhai nodded frequently, "That's very reasonable."

Smaller streets can probably accommodate two cars in parallel, and there are still sidewalks beside the driveway, and their layout is generally the same as that of large streets.

Song Qingzhai noticed that there was a row of lampposts beside the main road, so he couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?"

"I originally thought about lighting the lamps at night to facilitate people's travel at night," Xu Ji smiled wryly, "but considering the cost of lamp oil and people's living habits, I had to give up.

"However, every new year's festival can be an exception to light a little lamp to enhance the atmosphere.

"If you encounter danger, it can also be used to transmit signals. These lampposts look the same, but in fact there is a hidden secret. Every half a mile there is a lamppost that can only light cigarettes but not fire."

Song Qingzhai was full of praise.

Xu Ji pointed to his feet again, "There are sewers extending in all directions underneath, I didn't expect this at first, but an old craftsman reminded me.

"In addition to the sewer, we also built an underground shelter, which is well ventilated, waterproof, and fireproof, and has a lot of food in case of emergencies."

Walking, I gradually came to the entrance of a garden. "This is a garden in the city. It is for people to relax and relax. It can also play a certain role in regulating the climate. There are four gardens like this in the city."

The two of them walked in along the path paved with stones, and saw a crape myrtle tree in front of them, the flowers were in full bloom, and there was a row of stone benches under the flower tree.

Song Qingzhai walked over first, spread out his handkerchief, and asked Xu Ji to sit down.

Then he said, "Actually, I'm quite curious."

Xu Ji was silent, and asked after a while: "What did you see?"

"No matter how many changes a person experiences and how much his temperament changes, it's impossible for him not to carry the shadow of the past." Song Qingzhai sighed heavily, "Aqi, you have never hidden your changes."

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows. "So?"

Song Qingzhai looked up at the sky, his eyes flushed, "When I buried Qin Zhan and his wife, I put some things that the girl used when she was a child in Mrs. Xu's tomb.

"It's my fault for not taking good care of her. However, it's irreparable."

Xu Ji turned to look at him: "When did you know? Why didn't you treat me as a monster? Is it because I can bring you benefits?"

A look of wariness gradually appeared on her face.

Song Qingzhai said with a wry smile: "You never have to be on guard against me, I won't do you any harm. To be honest, at first I really thought you were still her, it's just that your temperament has changed drastically.

"I still thought, if it wasn't for my negligence, how could I have hurt you? Don't let anyone who hurt you be spared!"
