I open a restaurant in Xiujie

Something is wrong with Qiongqing, very wrong.

Che Yunwen's heart sank silently, even after walking out of the gate of Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, the young man's smile was the same as before, he saw it in his eyes, but felt a dull pain in his heart.

With the existence of the blood contract, he can vaguely feel Qiongqing's feelings. Behind the cheerful laughter of the other party, the subtle and stinging feelings are...

sad.

Che Yunwen pondered for a long time, his eyes fixed on the young man running ahead.

Under the colorful lights of the lanterns, Qiongqing was buying candied haws from a street vendor, and the other party said five copper coins. Qiongqing imitated the bargaining appearance of other people who happened to see it: "It's too expensive, two and a half."

Cutting the opening in half, the peddler was startled.

He looked like a casual boy, but he was an expert.

He tentatively asked, "Four copper coins?"

Qiongqing shook her head: "No, at most three."

The two fought back and forth for a long time, Qiongqing insisted on the price of three copper coins, and finally the peddler reluctantly agreed to him, Qiongqing smiled happily and paid the bill.

When he picked it up, it was full of spirit stones and broken silver.

That's all for the broken silver, the hawker was stunned when he saw the shining spirit stones, and shouted in his heart that you are all so rich, why do you even care about a copper coin!

Qiongqing handed over the broken silver, smiled openly and said, "Let's change the money."

Hawker: "..."

The peddler looked strange: "I can't find it..."

In the end, Qiongqing bought the entire candied haws stand, and happily ostentatiously swayed through the market holding straw sticks. When a child ran past him, he would give one away. The bunches of candied haws were quickly distributed, and finally only two were left.

Qiongqing and Che Yunwen each hold a stick in their hands.

Illuminated by the fireworks, the shell of the syrup is crystal clear, and the sugar balls are not only hawthorns, but crabapple fruit, hemp yam, walnut kernels, etc., which are sour and sweet, and sweet but sour. Although it is not as delicious as Yu Xiaotan's dishes, it is delicious In such a crowded scene, with colored lights and fireworks, the entrance of the sugar ball has a special taste.

Qiongqing was humming an unknown tune while walking, beside Che Yunwen silently finished eating the candied haws, holding a wooden stick in his palm, he suddenly said, "Qiongqing, let's go to Wanshou Pavilion and buy that demon plant."

Qiongqing turned around suspiciously: "Yaozhi? Master, why did you buy Yaozhi? Is it not enough for you to have me?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant," Che Yunwen hurriedly waved his hands, and said with a wry smile, "I just feel...you've been very unhappy since you met that Yaozhi."

Surrounded by colorful lights, the boy's eyes flickered for a moment.

Then he turned his head as if nothing had happened: "Oh, it's a blood contract again? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have fixed this thing. Let the master worry about you along the way."

Che Yunwen nodded and shook his head, he took Qiongqing's hand, and Qiongqing was stunned for a moment by the action - it was always Qiongqing who took the initiative to pull his hand, which is still rare, Che Yunwen took the initiative to pull him Case.

They came to a far-reaching alley away from the steady flow of people on the main street.

It's just across the street, but this alley is much quieter, Che Yunwen can even hear Qiongqing's shallow breathing, as if it was close to his ears.

He collected himself, and said in a low voice: "If it's not the same as Yaozhi, you don't want it to be neglected in the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, why..."

Why are you sad?

The night wind blowing in the alley brushed against the cheeks of the two of them.

After a long silence, Qiongqing sighed softly.

"We don't have that strong empathy for the same kind, not to mention that Yaozhi can be regarded as a different kind among mysterious beasts."

And to be honest, although Yaozhi was left out in the cold, the monks of Yushoumen have a sound system for raising spirit beasts. Under their care, the young saplings are actually better than falling alone in the mountains, at least not Will be killed by other powerful beings.There are few demon plants, and they will be exhibited in the pavilion for a period of time, and sooner or later they will be brought back by suitable wood monks to keep them alive.

The corner of the boy's lips hooked slightly.

He seemed to be smiling, but the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, and the strange vine pattern appeared on his face again, which looked bright and gorgeous in the begging lanterns.

"Mainly because I thought of myself..."

Qiongqing raised her head slightly, avoiding Chi Yunwen's gaze, and looked at the sky: "Stubbornness is the commonality of Yaozhi, just like my understanding is far lower than that of the human race. We can only reluctantly rely on years of hard work. With such a cultivation level, the human race is the darling of the world."

dumb?

Che Yunwen looked at him suspiciously: "Qiong Qing, you don't know, you are not dull at all."

On the contrary, it is very lively and cute.

Qiongqing smiled, her eyes flickering with fire: "That's because I'm trying to change."

How can a dryad who only knows how to be dull be likable?

Thousands of years ago, the former master was a monk in the Mahayana period, and he had a large number of disciples and subdued mysterious beasts. Qiong Qing still remembered that the master went out that year, followed by hundreds of people, with great momentum, only he stayed alone in the mansion , the moment the secret realm is closed, I can see the backs of the crowd walking against the wind, like a tidal wave.

So many people, so many familiar or unfamiliar figures.

Why was he, Qiongqing, left to guard the mansion...?

Before leaving, the master said that he would be back soon, so the young dryad waited in front of the mansion.

In the secret realm, there is no change of seasons, no one cheers, and even the meaning of time is melting. Qiongqing waits and waits, from dawn to sunset, and from the willow tip on the moon to the morning glow.

The Qinghong secret realm had been closed for thousands of years, so he waited in the secret realm for thousands of years.

Sometimes when she felt really lonely, Qiongqing would curl up and sleep.

It is not the current sleep, the dryad's body can sleep for hundreds of years at a time, he always said to himself, maybe he can hear the master's call to go home when he wakes up, but every call is a dream, and the long dream wakes up, only I'm sad.

Mahayana monks do not have only one mansion.

Qiongqing thought, maybe he was abandoned, forgotten by...

Yeah, who would remember a dryad who was dull, boring, and had no sense of presence?

If you want to go out to play, of course you have to bring those sweet-talking subordinates, if you want to fight, you also have to bring the strongest disciples, Qiongqing is not cute enough and not strong enough, so he is the one who was left behind, just him.

"So I thought, I'm going to be cute, be cheerful, and be strong."

Qiongqing's voice was very soft, floating in the night sky.

Fireworks rise in the distance, golden chrysanthemums are bright, and when they fall, they drag their long tails like shooting stars.

The boy wanted to say something, but suddenly Che Yunwen opened his arms and hugged him.The young man's figure was taller, his chest was also hot, and the sound of a steady and powerful heartbeat was close to his ears, and Qiongqing was rarely in a daze.

"I won't abandon you, and I won't let you wait that long."

Che Yunwen's voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of choking: "Never, so it doesn't matter if you are not lively or powerful, you are Qiongqing."

A moment of silence.

Immediately came Qiongqing's voice with a smile: "Master, I haven't cried yet, you are so nervous..."

Although he was laughing, the ending was trembling, and he couldn't continue after a few words. The young man curled up in Che Yunwen's arms, and quietly closed his slightly sore eyes.

Peace of mind like never before.

Although he didn't want to ask Che Yunwen for any promises, Qiongqing felt his heart tremble the moment the other party said "I will never abandon him".

The long and lonely wait in the secret realm finally left at this moment. He truly walked out of the secret realm and stepped on the same but brand new land. His hanging heart was like a boat sailing into the harbor. The bright lights at the head of the bay were shining brightly, emitting a warm halo .

……

Meanwhile, one person is very unhappy.

Bai Junda was like Zhang Er's monk who couldn't figure it out, he was just attracted by the smell of the roadside food stall, why did everyone disappear when he turned around?

He stood there for a while, fully expecting that the others would look for him when they saw him wandering away, but in the end, he waited and waited until the day lily was cold, and he didn't even see anyone.

Bai Junda: Sadness is so hot jpg

He didn't know that Yu Xiaotan and the others were also divided into two waves, and they all thought he was following the other party's team.As the night got darker, the little fat man had no choice but to hug himself tightly in grievance, wanting to cry without tears, and the loss was huge.

I fought bloody battles for Yu Xiaotan to pass the test, and Yu Xiaotan's ignorance is really degraded, and people's hearts are not old...

Gollum.

His stomach growled faintly, and Bai Junda remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.

In an instant, the great grief and indignation turned into appetite. He touched the spirit stone in his pocket and made a major decision: Since no one paid any attention to him, he went to the restaurant by himself!

At the same time, the idea of ​​eating out suddenly grew wildly in Bai Junda's mind like weeds.Unlike Luo Town, where the location is shifted, the economy and trade are more developed. In Luo Town, apart from Yu's restaurant, there are only Sun Muhan's teahouses that have a little bit of spiritual food, but here there are several restaurants that sell spiritual food.

Especially when walking northwards, Bai Junda saw the hanging plaques in the distance.

The three big golden characters of "Guanghuazhai" are particularly conspicuous even in the lanterns and fireworks, as if they are condescending, overlooking Qinghe Town.

Bai Junda had heard of the name of Guanghuazhai very early on.

Now that you have the chance, why not taste it?

Look at the dishes of their Yu's restaurant, how is it different from this so-called "No. [-] in the world" restaurant.

……

Yu Xiaotan and Ji Chuchen were huddled on the river bank to watch the river lantern.

The moat gently circled an arc outside the city, and several branches were enclosed in the city. At this time, several flower boats were brightly lit, and the music was resounding through the riverside. Countless river lanterns drifted down the river, light red and dark green , a hundred flowers glistening, candlelight swaying in the heart of the flower, illuminating the gentle cheeks of the person who put the lamp.

The river lantern is also known as "lotus lantern". The most common shape is the lotus flower. It was first used to mourn relatives and save the soul of the water. Later, it gradually evolved into a wish for a better life.Especially on festivals like Qiqiao, countless girls write their blessings to their sweethearts on lanterns with blushing cheeks, and let them drift along the water to a future full of expectations.

Walking all the way along the river bank, the river lanterns formed a string of brilliant fireflies, slowly accompanying them.There are not as many colored lights by the river as in the neighborhood, and the light is a little dim, but there are more men and women gathering here. At this moment, Yu Xiaotan is walking by the river, and all he sees are figures cuddling with each other.

It made him a little awkward.

Covering his slightly hot cheeks, Yu Xiaotan quickened his pace, and suddenly a woman's exclamation came from his ears: "Oh."

Immediately came the man's clear voice: "What's the matter, show me quickly—it's okay, it's a water leech, don't be afraid, the pat will fall off..."

Yu Xiaotan was slightly taken aback.

Water leech, isn't that just a leech?
