Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 8
"It's getting late, and my aunt has sent a message, saying that we will leave at the end of the hour, and I'm afraid there are already people in the rooms. Let's go back quickly, so that no one can see us."

Ji Chongyu pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

Only then did the two siblings bury the melons, fruits and snacks in the soil, put the plates and oiled paper into the black lacquer carved food box, then brushed off the dirt on their bodies, and walked back.

This suit of clothes must be changed when he goes back, and no one can find out yet.

Mrs. Ji is now worried about Mrs. Ji's condition, and maybe there are other things. At this time, she doesn't want to care about anything, but she will definitely not let anything get into trouble.

Last night, I went to the back mountain of Lingyin Temple to settle down. No one raised the matter of paying homage to the Shen family or moving the grave, as if everyone had completely forgotten the existence of the Shen family and that she was once the fourth wife of the Ji family.

Now that they come to worship alone, the sensible ones will say that their siblings are filial, but the unreasonable ones can just say anything, maybe they make up something about this matter, it's really hard to say.

Ji Chonglian is also gradually groping for these twists and turns in the inner house, so she is extra cautious in doing things, try not to let people catch her painful feet, and give some people an opportunity.

After walking all the way, the sky gradually brightened. Ji Chonglian walked in front, but did not notice Ji Chongyu who was behind. When he stepped on the bluestone road and wiped off the sand under his feet along the edge of the stone, he looked back. , Ji Chongyu disappeared.

"Brother Yu!"

Ji Chonglian panicked, and hurriedly called around, but secretly complained about her own carelessness, why didn't she even know that Ji Chongyu was gone, and didn't care to wipe the mud on the bottom of her feet, and hurriedly jumped off the muddy road and went in.

Calling while walking, and didn't go very far, there was a response from Ji Chongyu.

Ji Chonglian felt relieved, looked around, and found that this boy was sitting on a Dujuan tree, ostentatiously holding a bunch of Dujuan, and shouted: "Sister, look at the flowers I picked for you!"

"Come down quickly!"

Ji Chonglian hurriedly waved, not knowing whether to be happy or anxious.

The joy is that Ji Chongyu finally has a childish nature, and the worry is what if he falls from such a tall tree?
Just when Ji Chonglian was worried, Ji Chongyu slid down the tree in a hurry, and handed a bunch of azaleas to Ji Chonglian like offering a treasure.

But the praise and joy that Ji Chongyu imagined did not exist. Ji Chonglian had already reached out and twisted his ears, and reprimanded: "Who told you to climb a tree? What if you fell so high? Do you know how worried my sister is?!"

"Ouch!"

Ji Chongyu cried out in pain, quickly lifted the flower over his head, and begged for mercy: "Sister, I won't dare next time, never again!"

Ji Chonglian snorted, and then took the bouquet with one hand. Dujuan flowers were pink and white, and they bloomed very beautifully. It is rare that there is such a bright color in winter. Looking at it, the corners of her pursed lips softened , slowly burst into a smile.

"Sister, are you not angry anymore?"

Ji Chongyu bit his lip and asked tentatively.

"Let's go!"

Ji Chonglian gave Ji Chongyu a blank look, didn't make a sound, turned around and was about to leave, seemed to remember something, turned around again, and asked with a sullen face: "Who did you learn to climb trees from?"

In her memory, their siblings don't have this kind of time to spend leisurely time, such things as digging out bird's nests, shooting slingshots and fishing in the water can only exist in imagination. Although she has experienced such childhood in her previous life, it is different now. .

If Aunt Liu knew that Ji Chongyu would do this, she might sue in front of Ji Mingxuan again, saying that Brother Yu was only playing around and wasting his studies.

"This...is when I was playing with the grandson of Mrs. Huang..."

Ji Chonglian looked cautious, Ji Chongyu didn't dare to lie, so he was busy telling the truth.

Seeing that Ji Chongyu returned to his cautious look, Ji Chonglian couldn't help feeling distressed, sighed, took his hand, and said softly: "I don't blame you, it's just that it's too dangerous, and you must never climb again in the future." , It’s even worse to go back to Ji’s house, you know?”

Ji Chongyu nodded with a vague understanding, but seeing that Ji Chonglian was no longer angry, he also relaxed slowly.

Holding the Azalea with dewdrops in her hands, Ji Chonglian tilted her head and smiled brightly at Ji Chongyu, her bright smile was like a beautiful scenery in May, Ji Chongyu was stunned and said in a daze: "Sister, you look so pretty when you smile! "

The leaves suddenly rustled, and a young man jumped out of the woods beside the road. He saw the bouquet of flowers in Ji Chonglian's hand at a glance, his face turned ashen for a moment, and he said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to dare to pick the bouquet?" flowers?!"

The dew was heavy in the early morning, and the secluded forest in the back mountain had a somewhat desolate atmosphere, and the sudden appearance of this young man shocked Ji Chonglian and his brother even more.

Ji Chonglian looked up, and there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing a dozen steps away from their siblings. The boy was handsome and mighty, but at the moment his eyes were staring like copper bells, and his eyes were exposed. The ferocious appearance made him look very fierce.

Li Zhao's gaze was fixed on the bouquet in Ji Chonglian's hand, his heart spewed fire, his fists slowly tightened, he felt that his long-standing admiration was ruined by irrelevant people, how could he let it go so easily?

"Who told you to pick the flowers?"

Li Zhao took a step forward and touched his waist with his right hand. He had already held a dagger inlaid with gemstones in his palm. He pulled it out with one hand. Eyes full of anger.

Ji Chonglian felt a chill down her spine for no reason, she hurriedly protected Ji Chongyu behind her, calmed her thoughts, and said slowly, "This Dujuan flower was born in the mountains, and no one planted it, how can you say that you picked it?" flower?"

Ji Chonglian squeezed Ji Chongyu's hand, and quickly wrote a few words under his open palm. Ji Chongyu was taken aback for a moment, then pulled out an object from his waist without any trace, and gently stuffed it into Ji Chonglian's hand .

Ji Chongyu scans left and right, since Ji Chonglian has already made plans, he naturally can't be a fugitive, there is no reason to let a woman suffer in front of him, he also needs to find something suitable, and he can help her when necessary a handful.

"Grumpy!"

Li Zhao snorted coldly, but didn't take Ji Chonglian's words to heart, turned sideways, and stretched out his hand, "Look at the Du Juan forest behind here, isn't it vaguely round? It's the seeds planted by the master back then. The reason is..."

Li Zhao gritted his teeth, his eyes became deeper.

Even if they said it, they wouldn't know it. Li Zhao knew he had slipped his tongue, so he didn't say any more. His dark eyes lingered on Ji Chonglian's sister and brother, "No matter which hand picks this flower, whichever hand picks it, Let the Lord cut off that hand and let you go!"
