"Out, out?" Qiuqiu twirled her fingertips again in a daze, and the sweet scent of chestnuts penetrated her nostrils.
Seeing her dazed look, Shi'er couldn't help but raise his fingers and hit her on the forehead.
Qiuqiu was startled and quickly raised her hand to cover her forehead: "Why are you playing me?"
Shi'er still didn't answer her, but there was a slight smile in his eyes.
"You will see my joke." Qiuqiu spread the painting on the table and said: "I went in and out, but I didn't touch any doorways, and I didn't know how to get in or out."
Shi'er poked his head to take a look, and Qiuqiu followed suit, and their foreheads hit each other again with a snap.
This blow was much heavier than the one just now. Qiuqiu covered her head and almost burst into tears.
"Are you stupidly happy too?"
Shi'er has never been so unstable.
"Do you remember where we were when we entered?"
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then looked at the painting——
"It seems like..."
"Yes." Shi'er noticed when he entered for the first time that the angle where the painter was standing was exactly the same as when they entered just now.
Qiuqiu looked at the painting carefully. Yes, there was nothing wrong.
Is this what this painting was originally meant for? It's amazing.
Qiuqiu carefully checked the drawing paper, scrolls, etc., wishing to lie down and smell it. Shi'er knew that she was happy, but in fact... he was also quite happy.
Qiuqiu is still young and she doesn't understand the meaning of having a dragon as a spiritual pet.
And she was the one who discovered the secret realm. She was also the one who bought this old painting. She suffered so many grievances and encountered so many twists and turns, but in the end, he succeeded.
Shi'er felt that he owed her too much, and it was getting more and more, and he couldn't even calculate it.
At that time, Master Fang had already taken him to several places, looking for some of his old friends, and finally went to Master Yuxia. But right there, he met this fat girl who was not even walking steadily.
.
At that time, all they thought about was treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
But it turned out that her spiritual power and mind matched each other, and he was able to cure his old illness.
"Does your head still hurt?"
Qiuqiu touched it: "It seems to be swollen."
Shi'er pushed aside the thin hair on her forehead and took a look. It was a little red.
"What about you? Did you find any bumps?" Qiuqiu smiled and moved his face to look at it, but Shi'er's forehead was as aggressive as his temper. Not to mention swollen, it wasn't even red at all.
"Your head is so hard." Qiuqiu felt a little uneven. Just now she felt as if she had hit a rock.
Shi'er didn't make a sound, just looked at her quietly.
Qiuqiu suddenly felt a little... inappropriate.
The two of them were really close to each other. She was lying on Shi'er's body.
Really...I have treated him as a girl for too long, and I always forget that he is actually a boy.
Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed and wanted to climb off his lap.
Shi'er suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her waist, which was like encircling Qiuqiu in his arms.
"you……"
"Don't move." Shi'er lifted the bangs from her forehead and placed his palm on the red spot on her forehead.
"Is it here?"
Qiuqiu responded as if sleepwalking: "Yes."
Shi'er exerted a slight force on her palms and kneaded her.
His palms were slightly cool, and the swollen and hot area on his forehead was covered with the coolness. It actually felt quite comfortable.
Qiuqiu was quite uncomfortable at first, but when she thought about it, it was he who touched her head, so he rubbing her head would be considered an apology.
As for the problem of the two people being too close... there is nothing to be pretentious about. She is just a fat loli now, and nothing the two of them do can raise the issue of male and female styles. Besides, when I didn't know it before, it was even more I have had close contact, but this is still missing.
But speaking of the past...
Qiuqiu suddenly remembered many little things that she had forgotten.
For example, two people slept together, and she was afraid of the heat in summer. Shi'er had a natural air conditioner at that time, so many times when she woke up in the morning, she was clinging to Shi'er like an octopus. Another example is , one time Shi'er gave her a very nice miscellaneous book. When she was happy, she hugged her face and kissed her twice.
But at that time, she thought they were good sisters and good partners...
Compared with that time, what it is like now is really nothing.
Qiuqiu completely relaxed and enjoyed the private massage service provided by Shier.
Really good, skillful technique and moderate strength.
Shi'er pressed her hand for a while, then gradually stopped, pressed it on her forehead, and looked down.
As expected, the girl fell asleep again.
When I was at Xiuyuan Mountain, I was still a little wary, but now my true self has been revealed, and I can fall asleep anytime and anywhere.
Shi'er's hand caressed her cheek tenderly. It was not as fleshy as before. These days in Xiuyuan Mountain, you must have turned a blind eye even to sleep, right? The people of Xiuyuan Mountain and Yuxia Even if the real person had already broken all ties with her, of course he would not treat her well.
Fortunately, he still came, although it was a little late.
Something happened suddenly last time and he left in a hurry. He didn't expect that something had happened to Yuxia Zhenren and the others at that time. If he had known about it at that time, he would never have left her alone at that time.
When he went back and saw the manor house burned to ashes, he felt like a fire was burning in his heart.
That feeling of anxiety and heartache... If the two of them didn't have a distant connection, he knew she was still alive in this world, and he really didn't know what he would have done.
He suddenly felt that the way she was sleeping soundly now was a bit annoying. His mood was ups and downs here, but she was as sleepy as a little pig.
Shi'er stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and lightly scratched the tip of her nose.
He has never done anything naughty in his life, and this is the first time he has done so.
But having said that, every time he made an exception, it was all because of her.
Even in her deep sleep, Qiuqiu felt the tip of her nose was slightly itchy. She sniffed, turned her head away, buried her face in Shi'er's arms, and hid it tightly, still sleeping soundly.
Now Shi'er can't scratch her even if she wants to do anything bad.
He smiled slightly.
Before meeting her, he had been in a calm state of mind for many years due to illness, and had almost forgotten how to laugh. There was nothing worth laughing about.
The candle on the table was burned to the end, the wick tilted, fell into a shower of tears, and was extinguished quietly.
Green smoke curled up in the quiet room.
Qiuqiu slept soundly and only woke up when the rooster crowed.
Qiuqiu yawned, put on her clothes and tied her belt.
When Shi'er came in from the door, Qiuqiu was pulling her hair out of her collar, putting it on her head and tying it with a thorn hairpin.
"The chickens here crow really loudly." You can hardly hear the crow of chickens in Xiuyuan Mountain. It is estimated that the grass seeds and flying insects eaten by chickens here in Wulou Mountain are different from those elsewhere.
"This chicken is not ordinary, and the things on it can also be used as medicine."
Sure enough, her guess was correct. But Qiu Qiuguang knew that chicken gizzards can be used as medicine. Of course, the chickens here are different. Maybe the whole body is a treasure.
Wulou Mountain is really a nice place, with cocks crowing and roosting at sunset. Opening the customer's window and looking out, the medicinal fields in the mountains are neatly divided and scattered naturally, and the curved ridges of the fields are like waves of water.
The ripples are like a wavy skirt tied to a green mountain.
"looking at what?"
"There," Qiuqiu stood on tiptoes and pointed with her hand: "Does it look like layers of skirts?"
Shi'er didn't have as rich an imagination as she did. He glanced in the direction she pointed, nodded and said, "Xiang, it's time for us to leave."
Qiuqiu was a little reluctant to leave Wulou Mountain: "Will we come again in the future?"
"Yes. If I have the chance, I will come with you again and stay longer."
Qiuqiu looked back and saw Wulou Mountain gradually disappearing from her field of vision.
But things are not going well in Heshan Town.
The sign of the thrift store was taken down, the store was empty, and there was a big "LEASE" sign written on the wall.
People around told them that the old man loved to drink and was not good at doing business. The lease of the house was not renewed when it expired, and the landlord was about to leave again.
As for the old man's name and where he was going, no one around him could tell. Even the nagging wife of the store next door couldn't provide any useful information.
"Oh, that old man, some say his surname is Qian, some say his surname is Zhang, he rarely pays attention to anyone. Sometimes he will lock the door of the store and not open it for three to five days. Sometimes he sells a lot of things.
He had to drink for two days, and he never did business seriously. I didn't see him having any family members. He was an old bachelor with no worries. Come to think of it...he hadn't seen anyone for several days.
"
According to the date mentioned by the landlady, maybe what Qiuqiu bought at that time was his last transaction.
Disappointment is inevitable. Qiuqiu stood in the empty thrift store. First, she regretted that she should have bought as much as possible from the store last time. Second, she was a little worried about the shop owner.
He seems to be quite old, and he is not very restrained in drinking. I wonder if he is still fine now. Thinking about the way he carried a heavy wine pot last time, Qiuqiu felt a little uneasy.
Although they did not have a deep friendship and only exchanged a few words, Qiuqiu felt that she still accepted the other person's affection and got such a great opportunity.
"Does he associate with anyone else in town?"
After getting the money, the landlady said everything she knew: "I can have a few words with Lao Cai from the wine shop over there."
That's because of buying bars.
But when they went to the liquor store, Old Man Cai didn't provide any information. The two of them had nothing to talk about except selling and drinking.
"He lives behind the shop. I haven't heard of any other place to stay. Last time, he bought wine for two taels of silver on credit, but he never came back." Old Man Cai was not very angry, and his words were full of anger.
Revealing worry: "He used to buy wine on credit, but he paid it back every time. I wonder if something happened... Alas, I can't find him anywhere."
Qiuqiu took out her purse and gave him the money: "I paid for the wine on his behalf."
Old Man Cai didn't refuse, and he wasn't stupid. Who could use the money he got?
If we can meet again in the future, please help if you can.
