Since returning from the Xuanjie Market that night, although Jing Xing didn't say anything, he obviously relied more on Lan Wanhua.Because of fear of separation, Jing Xing didn't even go back to City Y for this year's Spring Festival, he only packed a large bag of clothes, food and supplements and mailed it back to Jing's father and Jing's mother.Father Jing lamented again and again, it was really the water poured out by the married son, Y City is no longer his son's home!It's from Lao Lan's family!Once Lan Wanhua woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and when she came out, she saw Jing Xing, half asleep and half awake, groping for the blanket that was still warm, with a panic that Lan Wanhua had never seen on his face.

Lan Wanhua knew that if this continues, Jing Xing will be tormented insane by the separation he imagined before the real parting moment comes.

This morning, Lan Wanhua mixed a bowl of rose nectar for Jing Xing. The nectar was bought by Jing Xing at the market that day with 10 middle-grade spirit stones.There are pieces of bright red petals floating in the crystal clear, the rose petals dye the color of honey into a transparent pink, the taste is fragrant but not too sweet, when the hot water is boiled, the fragrance of roses is diffused in the air, delicious and delicious It looks good, Jing Xing likes it very much.

"Meiniang is 6 months old, and she knows something. Elder Qian asked yesterday, does Jing Xing want to go back to school?" Lan Wanhua asked tentatively.

"Go to school?" Jing Xing was a little confused about this question, he had only been out of school for less than a year, but Jing Xing felt that he had been away from campus for a long time.

"Yes, go to school. Mr. Qian said that if you don't go to school, you will lose too much knowledge." Lan Wanhua said.

Jing Xing thought about it carefully for a long time, and finally decided: "I'd rather not go back to school."

"Why?" Lan Wanhua put down the spoon in his hand, he remembered that Jing Xing had always liked the academic atmosphere of University B.

"What's the use of me going to school?" Jing Xing's expression was a little dazed, and he analyzed with Lan Wanhua with his fingers: "Learning knowledge? I can't even learn the knowledge in space! Do you want a diploma? I don't know." Planning to go out to work; meet more friends? How can I make friends with a face that won't age with time?"

"Hey...Jing Xing, you can't say that." Lan Wanhua reached out to hold Jing Xing's hand and persuaded him: "People are group creatures and cannot be alone forever."

"I don't have anyone, I have you!" Jing Xinghui held Lan Wanhua's hand, becoming a little anxious, and said, "I only need you!"

"And Mei Niang!" Jing Xing thought for a while and added.

"Does Jing Xing want to go out for a walk?" Seeing Jing Xing's emotional instability, Lan Wanhua didn't continue to persuade him, but changed his proposal and said.

"Can you leave City B?" Jing Xing immediately put down the honey water in his hand and looked at Lan Wanhua in surprise.Due to Lan Wanhua's status, they couldn't easily leave City B, which made Jing Xing, who had always wanted to look around, extremely depressed.

"No." Lan Wanhua replied helplessly, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't.God knows how much he wants to let go of all the burdens in his hands, and live his own life comfortably with Jing Xing, go out for a trip when he has nothing to do, and play chess at home when he is tired.But he couldn't, he was carrying too many shackles, and he was firmly bound by iron chains, and he couldn't take them off even if he wanted to.

"I'm alone, I don't want to go out." Jing Xing went back in an instant, picked up the honey water again, and drank it in small sips.

"If we can't go out to City B, let's go for a stroll in City B!" Lan Wanhua said with a smile: "City B is so big and has a long history. Brother, how about being the guide and taking you out for a stroll?"

"Okay!" Jing Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this.

In order to prevent Jing Xing from continuing to slump, Lan Wanhua really took Jing Xing on a short-distance trip.Handing over the pestering little Mei Niang to the butler, the couple finished the brunch before them and drove off in the car.

Lan Wanhua drove the car himself, and along the way described to Jing Xing what City B looked like 20 years ago. There used to be a temple here, and there was a vegetable market there, selling very fresh seafood...

When passing Beixinqiao, Lan Wanhua told Jing Xing the story of Suolongjing.

"It is said that there is a sea eye under Beixin Bridge, and a Xingyuan dragon is locked in the sea eye. In the Ming Dynasty, Xingyuan dragon came out to make waves, and the king of Yan sent general Liu Bowen to tie Xingyuan dragon here with an iron chain. Legend has it that When the Japanese invaded China, they sent soldiers to pull the iron chain. After more than 20 days, they did not pull the chain to the end. The Japanese wanted to pull it up, but the well water suddenly surged up. This water is different from other wells. The water turned out to be black! There was also the sound of a dragon chant coming from the well, which scared the Japanese back into the chain."

"Black water?" Jing Xing asked doubtfully, "It is said that the weak water in hell is black."

Lan Wanhua saw that Jing Xing listened with great interest, so he went on to say: "We don't know if it's weak water, and I don't know if the Japanese really pulled the iron chain. It's just that I heard old people tell me when I was young, and I saw it with my own eyes. When the Red X soldiers broke the Four Olds, they also pulled the big iron chains, and the result was the same as the Japanese. At that time, it was only a bedtime story, but now it seems, maybe it is true?"

"The capital city is the capital of Huaguo, where dragon energy gathers, so it's not surprising that there are dragons?" Jing Xing said with a smile, for example, the golden scales he met in the market that day.

"I heard that the residents living here often hear the sound of dragons singing." Lan Wanhua said.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the air: "Om—"

Both Lan Wanhua and Jing Xing were stunned for a moment, and after a while, Lan Wanhua smiled and said, "Well, that's the voice."

Jing Xing moved to the mouth of the well curiously, only to feel a puff of air rushing towards his face, carrying the salty smell of the sea that Jing Xing was very familiar with, which had never appeared in an inland city.

"This is Haiyan..." Jing Xing murmured.

"What are you talking about?" Lan Wanhua asked.

"It's nothing, I just think that the sea eye might really be connected to the sea." Jing Xing said.

"A so-called expert visited the well two years ago and said that this well is a naturally formed well with an underground river connected to it. When the groundwater rises, the river will surge up and form the so-called dragon king's anger." Lan Wanhua said, It seems that the explanations of these experts are noncommittal.

"Then the experts didn't explain why the water is black?" Jing Xing asked with a smile, "Could it be that there is oil in the water?"

"Maybe!" Lan Wanhua shrugged and said, "When I was young, there were people who would come here to sacrifice live chickens to the well every Chinese New Year, but no one would do this anymore."

While Lan Wanhua was chatting with Jing Xing, a clear dragon chant suddenly came from the well. The voice was old and sad, and even carried the soaring resentment that had been suppressed underground for a long time.

The expression on Jing Xing's face became serious. He walked to the edge of the well, pulled up the iron chain on the edge, and held it in front of his eyes. He shook off a thin layer of rust on the surface with his fingertips, and only saw the shiny surface of the iron chain. Depicting complex lines, it is a dragon-suppressing talisman.Using his spiritual power, Jing Xing allocated a trace of his spiritual consciousness, and followed the iron chain to explore all the way down.With his consciousness straight down for eight hundred miles, Jing Xing vaguely saw an old dragon with black scales coiled in a fairly spacious cave under the dim water.The old dragon seemed to have discovered the prying, opened his eyes and gave Jing Xing a warning stare.

Jing Xing just felt caught by the slender pupils in a pair of big turmeric eyes, and couldn't move for a while, until Lan Wanhua felt that something was wrong, so he regained Jing Xing's mind beside him.

"What happened?" Lan Wanhua asked worriedly, frowning.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Xing turned his head and said to Lan Wanhua in shock: "It's really a dragon. A skinny black dragon!"

"You went down to watch?!" Lan Wanhua realized how dangerous Jing Xing had done just now.

Jing Xing nodded blankly.

Lan Wanhua took a deep breath, realizing for the first time how troublesome it is to have a curious lover.Lan Wanhua didn't bother to preach to Jing Xing, Lan Wanhua dragged Jing Xing up and left, vowing to bring Jing Xing out to play in the future, just eat, drink and have a look, and never take him to see any historical sites with stories!

Jing Xing was pulled into the car by Lan Wanhua with a face of inexplicability, fastened his seat belt, and drove all the way towards the Summer Palace. The weather has cooled down in recent days, and the Kunming Lake has been frozen, so it happens that he can go for ice paddling.

With the departure of the two, a piece of news was played on the big screen on the side of the road:

"It is reported that the construction of Metro Line 5 started today, from Tiantong in the north to Songjiazhuang in the south, and is expected to pass through Tiantong, Lishui, and Beixinqiao..."

Just after the Spring Festival, the big lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Summer Palace to celebrate the Spring Festival have not been taken off. The two entered through the east gate, walked through the newly renovated gallery for the New Year, and Lan Wanhua told Jing Xing one by one along the way. The story depicted in this gallery; I went skating on Kunming Lake for a while, walked around Kunming Lake along the West Causeway, and crossed the Seventeen-Arch Bridge. It was almost noon.

Mei Niang, who hadn't seen her parents all morning, turned upside down at home, and quarreled with the housekeeper, Uncle Ping, with five little flower dogs, giving her a headache.For the first time, the housekeeper who couldn't handle the task assigned by his boss called Lan Wanhua in desperation:

"Boss, it's already 11:30 noon. May I ask when you and Master Jing will come back? I can tell the kitchen to prepare the meal in advance." The housekeeper asked tactfully, afraid that Lan Wanhua would not understand what he meant, and added a key point: "Miss is already watching for you in the kitchen."

The fox-shaped little Mei Niang is leading her 5 little brothers, making a fuss in the small kitchen commonly used by Lan Wanhua in the backyard. Lying on the ground, one of them was smashed to death by Zhong Shentong.The butler was on the phone with Lan Wanhua expressionlessly, and the background sound was:

"Wow, woof, woof, yo, yo! Crack! Clang! Crash—"

Originally planning to take Jing Xing to Quanjude to eat roast duck, Lan Wanhua had no choice but to go back home. God knows what kind of mess his small kitchen would be ruined by the daring little fox if he didn't go back!
