Jie Ling Lu

Ji Xinxi was hesitating whether to say hello to the other party, but to be honest, the two sides were not that familiar, and they hadn't seen each other for several months, so there was a somewhat awkward sense of distance.

Over there, Zhang Chenghu was holding a toolbox in his hand. He stopped and bent over to take a breath. He looked like he had just finished strenuous exercise. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his waist again, and faced Ji Xixi. There was a moment of surprise and panic in his eyes, and then he straightened his clothes and walked over with a toolbox.

"Miss Ji, long time no see? Are you coming back here with Master Xun Xiaodao to celebrate the New Year?" Zhang Chenghu greeted first, and Ji Xinxi followed the words.

"Yes, we are celebrating the New Year here this year, and Xiaochun is helping to look after the store." Ji Xinxi pointed to the canteen behind him.

Zhang Chenghu glanced at Xun Youling who was busy, then looked back and said, "It's good, was everything going well after you left?"

Ji Xinxi's eyebrows twitched slightly. I don't know if it was her illusion. She always felt that Zhang Chenghu's words were a little unnatural, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her. She nodded and said, "It's all good, how about you? Your father's How is the injury, the old man recovers slowly, is there any problem?"

Zhang Chenghu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, and said: "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you to miss him so much, my dad has worked hard all his life, and he didn't achieve much, but his body is not bad, good morning."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the back of his head, but he was still holding the toolbox, and there was a thud between the movements.

Following his movements, Ji Xinxi noticed the toolbox in his hand. There was a LOGO printed on the box. She looked familiar, and asked casually, "You just came back from work? Today is New Year's Eve." ,Why do not you rest?"

Zhang Chenghu looked at the toolbox in his hand, and replied: "There is nothing to do at home. If I can work for two more days, I can pay more for my wife. A new company came to the dock a while ago, and the owner's price is high now. I can't help it." Take advantage of this time to earn more."

Ji Xinxi nodded, did not linger on the topic, chatted a few more words and said goodbye to Zhang Chenghu. Looking at the back of the other party, she thought for a while, and took out the mobile phone to search for the mark on the other party's toolbox.

After a while, a company's information was revealed in front of Ji Xinxi. This company was newly established last year. Its headquarter is located in City C. It involves many industries, but she didn't see any other problems. She shook her head and felt that she was thinking too much , put the phone back in his pocket, turned around and went to the store to help Xun Youling.

After being busy for a while, Dekong Ji Xinxi supported the counter and looked at the distant mountain scenery, and said, "When I get old, it seems not bad to open a small store like you and live a life."

Xun Youling looked at her and said with a smile: "Why, you like me so much, and now you start to think about old age. It seems that you are really devoted to me~"

Ji Xinxi pinched her cheek angrily, seeing no one around, quickly leaned over and kissed her, and whispered: "Yes, that's why I like you so much."

Xun Youling's heart fluttered when he heard this, and he turned his head and was about to kiss back. Ji Xinxi saw another person coming to the door with sharp eyes, and hid sideways and smiled: "Boss Xun, business is coming, you can't make money if you are so half-hearted. "

Xun Youling pursed her lips, and asked the visitor what he wanted to buy in a slightly impatient tone. Ji Xinxi chuckled a few times, and the landline phone at hand suddenly rang, which startled her.

Xun Youling was busy, and seeing Ji Xinxi's movements, he smiled and said, "Grandma Zhong is getting old, and she likes to turn up her voice louder. What's the matter with me being busy?"

Ji Xinxi reached out to answer the phone, when a hurried voice suddenly came from inside.

"Grandma Zhong, I'm Xun Yang, have my master and the others come back, you go and call them, I have something urgent!"

Upon hearing Xun Yang's voice and tone, the smile on Ji Xinxi's face disappeared, and he quickly replied: "Xun Yang, I am Ji Xinxi, and now I am with Xiaochun. In the temple."

The other side almost hurriedly replied: "Miss Ji, Xiaochun is beside you? I..."

Hearing that he hesitated suddenly, Ji Xinxi thought it was inconvenient for him to say something, so he asked, "Don't worry, I'll let Xiaochun answer the phone now."

"Wait, wait, don't give it to her. I don't know how to tell her. Listen, something happened to her fifth senior brother. Now I'm here and I can't handle it. Let the master come here. You must let my master Come here, I have already sent the location to Xiaochun, you must hurry."

There was the noise of electric current coming from the other end of the phone, and there were some confused voices, and the phone hung up after a beep, and Ji Xinxi called back, but the result was that he could not be connected.

She put down the microphone, looked at Xun Youling over there, and knew the reason why Xun Yang hesitated just now. Xiaochun was brought up by her fifth senior brother. Even though she had never met him before, she also knew the importance of this person in Xun Youling's heart. Now she The fifth senior brother had an accident, and she didn't know how to speak.

But now is not the time to be hesitant and hypocritical. As soon as Xun Youling finished greeting the guests at hand, Ji Xinxi went to close the window of the canteen, took back the stall outside, pulled Xun Youling to close the door, and walked back.

Xun Youling was confused by her series of actions, and asked suspiciously: "Xixi, what's the matter? Who called just now? Why didn't you speak."

Ji Xinxi looked back at her, held Xun Youling's hand tightly, and continued to walk forward, saying: "When I see the Taoist priest, I will talk to them together. Don't ask now."

Xun Youling was frightened by her serious appearance, and felt a vague sense of foreboding in her heart, so she followed Ji Xinxi's footsteps and walked back.

When the two returned to the temple, Xun Ge and the others were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the courtyard. Xun Nagan was lying on the rocking chair basking in the sun. Seeing the two coming back, he asked, "Didn't you go down the mountain to wait for the fifth one? What's the matter?" Come back first?"

Ji Xinxi pulled Xun Youling to stand still in the courtyard, turned his head and gave him a fixed look, then took a deep breath and looked at Xun Nagan and said, "Master Xun, we were in the canteen just now, and Xun Yang called Come here, he said something happened to the fifth senior brother, and he couldn't figure it out where he is now, so he said that he must go there in person."

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and looked at Ji Xinxi. Xun Nagan's face darkened, and he immediately sat up straight and closed his eyes.

After Ji Xinxi finished speaking, she felt the temperature in her palm suddenly cool down. When she turned her head and saw Xun Youling's pale face and absent-minded pupils, she felt distressed immediately. She held Xun Youling's hand tightly and comforted her: "Xiaochun, you Don’t worry, I don’t know what’s going on.”

Xun Youling came back to her senses and let out a trembling breath. She unconsciously grasped Ji Xinxi's hand, so hard that Ji Xinxi frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, just letting Xun Youling hold it.

Xun Zuo came over and patted Xun Youling on the shoulder, and the two turned their eyes to Xun Nagan together.

Xun Nagan over there, with his brows furrowed tightly, got up abruptly after a while, and shouted: "Pack up your things, this year will not pass."

Everyone's hearts sank suddenly, and Ji Xinxi opened his mouth to look at Xun Youling and said, "Xun Yang said, he sent you the location, take a look."

Hearing this, Xun Youling let go of Ji Xinxi's hand, and went back to the room to look for her mobile phone. She didn't bring her mobile phone with her when she went down the mountain today. At this moment, he scolded himself bloody in his heart.

She went back to her room to look at her phone, and found that there was indeed an unread message. She opened it tremblingly. It was located in City X. She didn't say anything else, and only added two words: "Come quickly!"

Xun Youling only felt her heart constrict tightly, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do, she hugged her from behind with both hands and held her in her arms, the silent warmth gradually passed through her back, she raised her hand Grabbing the hand at the waist, the chaotic thoughts calmed down.

Xun Ge's voice came from the courtyard: "Xiaochun, pack up quickly, pack up and go down the mountain quickly, the car has been called, let's go now."

Fortunately, there was someone by her side, otherwise Xun Youling really felt that if she was the only one, she would be in a mess, so she patted Ji Xinxi's hand and started packing things quickly.

Ji Xinxi looked at Xun Youling nervously, and saw that although her complexion was still pale, she was much better than before, and her eyes would return to focus, but her tightly pursed lips revealed her turbulent mood at the moment.

The words were the most pale at this time, Ji Xinxi did not speak, but silently helped to clean up together, the two of them cleaned up quickly, and then went out of the room and went straight down the mountain.

A van was parked at the foot of the mountain. Time was running out and now it was the Spring Festival. There was no time to book tickets for them and change to another mode of transportation. Driving was the fastest way.

When Ji Xinxi and the others arrived, only Xun Ge was standing beside the car, and the others hadn't come down yet. Xun Ge glanced at the silent Xun Youling, and said, "Don't be so sad, what's going on?" , No one knows, we have all encountered strong winds and waves, don't scare yourself here."

Xun Youling was shocked when she heard the words, Xun Ge's words woke her up, she almost lost her life several times, why couldn't help it now, rubbed her nose and got into the car and sat down first.

Ji Xinxi was worried about her and guarded Xun Youling every step of the way. As soon as he got into the car, she also got into the car and sat down next to him.

Not long after, Xun Nagan, Xun Zuo and Xunyou also boarded the car. Before leaving, Grandma Zhong knocked on the car window, handed in a few thermos buckets, and said, "Is it time to go out after the Chinese New Year? I wanted to tell you Send some dumplings, now you just happen to take them and eat them on the road."

Several people thanked and bid farewell to Grandma Zhong. Xun Ge started the car, and Xun Nagan said in the passenger seat: "The man is not dead yet, but the situation is not good. Don't take a break this time, and take turns."

As soon as she heard that the person was still alive, Xun Youling's tense body immediately relaxed a little, and the car drove silently on the road. She lowered her eyebrows and saw Ji Xinxi's hand resting on her lap, with a conspicuous purple color on her white skin. She grabbed the other's hand in a daze and asked, "Did I do it?"

Ji Xinxi withdrew his hands, smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't even notice it if you didn't tell me."

Xun Youling's eyes turned red, and he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

Ji Xinxi scratched her nose and shook her head with a smile, Xun Youling couldn't bear it, hugged Ji Xinxi's arm and buried her head in it without making a sound, resting her fingers on Ji Xinxi's hand and gently rubbing it.

I don't know how long it took, but Xun Youling, who fell asleep halfway, was woken up by Ji Xixi, who looked at her and coaxed her softly, "Xiaochun, get up and eat some dumplings to pad your belly."

Xun Youling rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

Ji Xinxi: "I've been driving for more than six hours, and it's almost twelve o'clock now. There's a traffic jam ahead. Let's have something to eat now."

Xun Youling opened her mouth to bite down on the dumpling that Ji Xinxi handed to her mouth. The insulated box worked well, and it was still warm at this time. While she was eating, the sound of firecrackers came from a distance, and the new year was coming.
