fairy wife

How many days did they spend in the dark trial pavilion?ten days? 20 days?

Qiuqiu can't remember clearly.

In short, after leaving the trial pavilion, the moment the sun finally shone on her body again, Qiuqiu almost cried with joy, she had never felt that the sun was so lovely.Bright and warm, she breathed freely, wishing to yell a few times to express her feelings.

——Looking up at the sky for too long ends up being pierced by the sun, causing pain in the eyes and tearing up the cheeks.

Well, this can be regarded as another sense of extreme joy begets sorrow.

Qiuqiu covered her face, wiped her tears and sat cross-legged, very philistine, and began to take stock of what she had gained in the Trial Pavilion.

Paying is hard, but the results are fruitful.

In addition to the golden thread clothes, she finally got a small medicine cauldron.The tripod is too small, it is like a miniature tripod, it can be held up with one hand, it is only as big as a palm.But Xiaoding is also a tripod, so Qiuqiu just accepted it with a smile.There is also a secret book, a hairpin whose purpose is temporarily unknown.Because the hairpin is very feminine, it also belongs to her.

Shi'er Guanwei also gained something, but none of them counted things as penny-pinchingly as Qiuqiu.

"I'm not on my way today, and it's getting late, so I'll rest for the night."

Qiuqiu put the things back into the Qiankun bag contentedly: "These days are either taking pills or eating dry food. When I have time, I will cook some hot soup."

She raised her head and looked at the completely different scenery around her: "This... is this still the second floor?"

"This is the entrance to the third floor."

Qiuqiu was very curious, and looked around while setting up a pot to light a fire.Almost spilled water on himself.

The fire was lit, and the soup was cooked quickly, bubbling and bubbling in the pot.

The soup is thick and fragrant.

Qiuqiu filled the soup, first for Shi'er, then for Guan Wei, and finally for herself.

The soup is hot, hot and fragrant, and you drink it in your mouth.The whole person felt as if he had come alive.

In the end, Qiuqiu still hasn't fully adapted to the life of cultivation, the drums at dusk and the bells in the morning, the ancient well without waves, boring and cold.After such a long time, I feel that the whole person has no vitality.

She likes fresh.A living life.Like the Dabai family, the vitality is as vigorous as the fire.In her opinion, cultivating Taoism is meaningful, but a life full of human fireworks is also meaningful.

Although the latter is very ephemeral.

Stir in the bowl with a spoon, there are meat cubes and shrimps in it.Ham, day lily.Tricholoma, cabbage, rich and delicious.The thick soup slides from the tip of the tongue and throat, and falls to the stomach.

Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed, her expression was like a satisfied cat.

Shi'er looked at the hot steam rising from the soup, thought for a long time, and then remembered to take a sip.

Guan Wei didn't seem to feel the heat at all.Looking up, a bowl of soup bottomed out.

Guess what the soup tastes like.What was in the soup, he had no idea.

Qiuqiu shook her head, what a waste.

Qiuqiu slept wrapped in a felt blanket near the fire, and when it was still dark, she opened her eyes in a daze.

The firewood turned to embers, and there were tiny sparks flickering, which lit up when the wind blew.The wind died down, and Mars dimmed again.

She stretched and stood up.

The air in the morning is particularly fresh, and there is even a refreshing sweetness in the mouth.

The fragrance of grass leaves, the slight tide of autumn frost, and the birds in the woods began to sing.

Everything around me gradually woke up.

After Qiuqiu washed her face, she took out a comb to smooth her hair.

When Shi'er approached slowly, what he saw was such a peaceful and calm scene.

The stream was rushing, and Qiuqiu was sitting on the bluestone by the stream and combing her hair.

She was wearing a jade-colored single shirt, her arms were raised, and the sleeves slid to her elbows, revealing her fair and beautiful arms.She combed her hair and divided it into two braids.Hearing the sound of Shi'er's approaching footsteps, she raised her head and smiled at him.

Shi'er sat down beside her.

"Have you gone to sword practice?"

"Ah."

Qiuqiu tied her hair, and handed the hair tie to Shi'er: "Tie it on for me."

In the past, Shi'er often helped her tie her hair, and Qiuqiu has long been used to it.

Shi'er tied the hair tie for her and tied a very standard bow.

Qiuqiu took a look in the small mirror that Shi'er gave her, and she was very satisfied.

This mirror is the one that Shi'er gave her at the Jiugongzhen, after Qiuqiu used it up, she honestly put it in her pocket.This mirror is so practical, it is much more useful in her hand than in Shi'er's.

The morning in the mountains and forests was very cool, and the sun rose from the mountains in the east.

Qiuqiu stood up: "It's time for us to hit the road again."

"Wait a minute, the shoelaces are loose again."

Shi'er tied the shoelaces for her naturally.

Qiuqiu looked down at the top of his head, a little lost in thought.

They are too familiar with each other, having lived together for so long, they have long been infected with each other's habits and aura.

Shi'er looked up at her.

The golden light of the sun shone in his eyes, so bright and moving.

Qiuqiu was absent-minded for a moment.

When she recovered, Shi'er kissed her.

His lips had a fresh scent of grass and trees, Qiuqiu's mind went blank, and she even forgot to breathe.

Shi'er hugged her tightly, and Qiuqiu didn't know when her arms wrapped around his neck, she almost forgot everything, her heartbeat in her chest was very fast and heavy, beating again and again, like a beating Same as drums.There was something buzzing in her ears, the sky and the earth seemed to be spinning, which made her dizzy and her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand.

Until Shi'er hugged her and let her lean on his shoulder, Qiuqiu still hadn't recovered.

Her face was hot, her breath was short of breath, and all her strength was taken away, she could only lean on Shi'er softly, relying on his support to stand.

He didn't say hello no matter what, and suddenly...

But it's really weird to say hello in this kind of thing.Could it be that this lofty guy asked her seriously "Can I kiss you"?

Qiuqiu really couldn't imagine that scene.

She pushed, and Shi'er let go.

Qiuqiu turned around and walked back first.Her gait was a little unnatural at first.Then he picked up the speed, light as a deer, and quickly reached the top of the slope.

For the rest of the day, she didn't even look at Shi'er.

It wasn't that she was angry, but that Qiuqiu didn't know what expression to use to face him.

Is it with a straight face?Could he have misunderstood that she was annoyed?

She was a little annoyed, but only a little.

But to smile at him?That's even more impossible.

Qiuqiu couldn't act as if nothing had happened, she could never forget the feeling that kiss gave her in the morning.

Of course, it's not as exaggerated as Heaven and Earth Cracking, but she...is very unfamiliar with this feeling, so strange that she is a little scared.

Her body didn't seem to belong to her anymore.Those strange reactions, that strange weakness, that... that complex feeling that she couldn't describe.

So she could only keep herself from looking at Shi'er.

But not looking at it doesn't mean she can ignore his existence.

On the contrary, although she didn't look at him, her senses all over her body seemed to become more acute.

The ears could hear his movement.The end of his nose seemed to be able to smell his breath, and even his skin seemed to be covered with sensors, capturing his movements accurately.

She even felt that the touch from that time was still on her lips, which were numb and hotter than usual.

Guan Wei remained silent as usual, as if he didn't feel Qiuqiu's abnormality at all.

Qiuqiu thought.Guan Wei is such a perceptive person, maybe he has already noticed something strange about her.Pretend to be confused, but actually understand in my heart.

Thinking of it this way made her even more embarrassed.

She could only allow herself to divert her attention to other areas.

For example, the new environment they are facing now.

The third floor of the trial cave was different from Qiuqiu's imagination.

How is it different?

The first floor is basically barren mountains and fields, and the second floor has a trial pavilion. There are various man-made institutions in the trial pavilion, and there are even puppets that can almost exist as fakes.

But the third floor is full of people.

Of course, it is a man-made trace from a long time ago.

Dilapidated houses, deserted villages.There is even a hydraulic mill by the river.Of course, the wooden shafts and water wheel blades have long since disappeared over the years.But the heavy stone mill remained where it was.

"Has anyone been here before?"

"Maybe."

Qiuqiu didn't know what kind of place it was before it became a trial cave.Perhaps a peaceful village where people live and work in peace.

But where have all those people gone?

Not only that, they even saw a section of the city wall.

It's not the kind of small town that uses mud bricks and stones to build the city wall, but a serious city wall with bluestone as the foundation and bricks built up layer by layer. submerged.

They continued along the wall.After walking not far, a city appeared in front of him.

Or should I say, once a city.

It is empty and quiet here, and weeds grow strong and strong from the cracks in the stones, and the streets paved with bluestones have been destroyed beyond recognition.Most of the houses on both sides of the road have been dilapidated and deserted, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

Qiuqiu turned around to look, and carefully searched for the place where the city gate should be.

She found two ancient characters.

"Hwaseong?" Qiuqiu read out softly.

From the moment they set off until now, for most of the day, they had neither encountered any ferocious beasts nor encountered any difficulties.

Where is the trial on the third floor?

Are there any mysteries in this already deserted city?

The guard came over from behind the broken wall on the side of the road: "There was a big fire here, and the stone walls behind were all blackened."

Shi'er said, "Let's go ahead and have a look."

They walked along the stone road.

According to common sense, the center of a city, and the location to the north, are usually the center of the city, the center of politics and economy.

There are far more clues than in these peripheral places. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
