Picked up a queen at the start

Chapter 56 Not Simple

"What are you laughing at?"

After entering the elevator, Ji Qinglin couldn't help asking Xia Yao when she saw Xia Yao's lips curled up.

Hearing this, Xia Yao's expression froze, and she quickly turned her head: "It's nothing..."

"It's really nothing?" Looking at Xia Yao's rosy ears, Ji Qinglin smiled.

Just when Xia Yao was about to answer, the elevator door closed.

In the next second, the elevator began to move down slowly.

"!"

The feeling of being pushed down made Xia Yao's heartstrings tense instantly.

In panic, she grabbed Ji Qinglin's arm with one hand and said in horror: "What's going on with this elevator?!"

"Is this your first time taking an elevator?" The little girl's mother said with a smile.

Rubbing her daughter's little head, she smiled and said, "It's the first time my Qiuqiu took the elevator, and my reaction was similar to yours."

"Almost~" the little girl grinned and repeated with a smile.

Facing the little girl's big black eyes, Xia Yao was slightly taken aback, suddenly feeling embarrassed.

In front of a child, it would be too out of character for me to do this...

With a light cough, she nodded lightly, forcibly stabilized her mind, and stood up straight.

It's just that her right hand was still firmly grasping Ji Qinglin without realizing it.

Feeling the strength from his left arm, Ji Qinglin groaned in his heart.

This strength is really great.

It's fine now.

When Xia Yao just caught him, he even thought his arm was broken.

From this point of view, the doorknob of the bedroom was removed, not wronged at all.

but……

It hurts though.

But seeing Xia Yao's frightened appearance like a little rabbit, Ji Qinglin couldn't bear to let her go.

Forced to show a faint smile, he endured the pain and said in a low voice: "This is always the case when you take the elevator, it's okay, just relax."

"it is good……"

Nodding slightly, Xia Yao took a deep breath, ready to relax.

But at this moment, the elevator began to stop slowly.

The feeling that had finally stabilized began to change again.

The original sinking feeling directly turned into a floating feeling.

The feeling as if she was about to fly made Xia Yaofeng's eyes widen again.

at the same time……

"hiss--"

Feeling the increased strength on his arm, Ji Qinglin couldn't hold it back and took a deep breath in pain.

Hearing his voice, Xia Yao immediately turned her head and looked at him worriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

"You...let go."

Ji Qinglin covered his face helplessly, then pointed to Xia Yao's hand holding his arm.

Glancing down, Xia Yao's face turned red, and she quickly let go.

At the position of Ji Qinglin's elbow, a red handprint appeared directly.

Seeing Ji Qinglin clutching her arm in pain, she bit her lower lip guiltily.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I understand." Sighing, Ji Qinglin pointed to the opened elevator door: "Let's go out first."

"it is good."

Nodding her head, Xia Yao hurriedly followed Ji Qinglin step by step like a good baby to leave the elevator.

Ji Qinglin took a few steps forward, and she followed him, but she didn't dare to continue walking by Ji Qinglin's side.

Looking back at her, Ji Qinglin couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing? Being a follower?"

"What's a follower?" Xia Yao bit her lips again, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I'll accidentally scratch you again...so I'll just follow behind you!"

"Okay, one small thing, don't take it to heart!"

Ji Qinglin shook his arm that didn't hurt so much, then smiled and said, "It's just the first time you're not used to taking the elevator, and you'll be fine in the future."

Seeing that Xia Yao was still blaming himself, he immediately changed the subject and said, "Aren't you going to buy something for the memorial ceremony? Let's go, I know a shop, and the owner's craftsmanship is very good."

Xia Yao stared at his arm again.

After confirming that Ji Qinglin's arm was really fine, she asked curiously, "How good is the craftsmanship?"

After thinking about it, Ji Qinglin suddenly looked serious: "How to describe it?"

"It's probably the paper figurine he made. If you see it at night, you will be scared to death.".
Leaving the mall, the two walked north all the way.

Cross the street and enter the alley, and finally bypass a crematorium, and come to a place that is so desolate and empty that only weeds are left.

On the street, meeting other small electric donkeys, Ji Qinglin suddenly remembered that the battery car was about to be listed.

But the vehicle management office does not work on weekends, so this matter can only be let go.

"It's here."

The little electric donkey came to a screeching halt, and Ji Qinglin raised his head to signal Xia Yao to look towards the roadside.

Looking across the barren grassland, Xia Yao glanced left and right, and finally landed on a small shop.

There are two one-meter-high wreaths placed at the entrance of the shop, and I don’t know if they can’t be placed inside the shop.

In the middle of the yellow, white and green rings, there is an upright inscription.

On the sign with the name of the store, there are only three big characters of Zhazhipu.

"Let's go." Seeing Xia Yao looking in a daze, Ji Qinglin took the lead and walked towards the store.

Staring at the two big wreaths again, Xia Yao hurriedly followed.

……

sand--

sand--

As soon as the two walked to the door of the store, they heard strange movements from inside.

Xia Yao frowned and stopped quickly.

Ji Qinglin was very familiar with it, and walked in directly across the threshold.

"Uncle Liu, are you making paper figurines again?"

As soon as he entered, Ji Qinglin greeted him with a smile when he saw an old man with gray hair sitting on a saddle bent over.

Hearing the movement, the old man narrowed his eyes and raised his head: "Is it Xiao Ji?"

"it's me."

Kneeling down in front of Uncle Liu, Ji Qinglin looked at the paper figurine in front of him, and then glanced inside the store, "Uncle Liu, where is your son?"

"Don't mention that unfilial son to me."

After the paper man handled it neatly, Uncle Liu's thin face was straightened, and his thick eyebrows raised horizontally.

Seeing that the father and son's problem has not been resolved, Ji Qinglin shook his head with a smile.

Uncle Liu is over 60 years old, and he has always counted on his son to pass on his craftsmanship.

However, when his son mentions paper figurines, he finds it unlucky, so he is still unwilling to take over this matter.

Speaking of which, Uncle Liu got married late because of his job as a paper maker.

Although he is over 60, his son is only 25-[-].

"Speaking of which, why did you come to me all of a sudden?"

Putting the paper figurine aside, Liu Bo took a Maza and placed it in front of Ji Qinglin.

Glancing at it, Ji Qinglin said with a smile: "One more Maza, there is another person beside him."

"kindness?"

Hearing this, Uncle Liu looked suspiciously at the door.

With this look, he found Xia Yao who had been following behind Ji Qinglin.

"..." Silently staring at Xia Yao's dragon robe, Uncle Liu narrowed his eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin coughed lightly: "Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Looking away, Uncle Liu took another horse tie, put it in front of Xia Yao, and said at the same time: "It's not easy for a little girl to dare to wear this dress."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Qinglin and Xia Yao fell silent at the same time.

Xia Yao frowned, hesitantly picked up her robe and sat down.
