Beyond the door is One Piece

The courtyard of Xiaogong's house is large, but not empty. It is filled with various utensils, including iron and wood.

Some are for fireworks, and some look like toys?

Xiao Gong was sitting at the door of an open room. Through the door, he could see the fireworks piled inside.

To be honest, the number of these fireworks is not large. It may be the output of a modern factory for two hours of operation.

But there is no factory here, so much is made by Xiaogong purely by hand!

"Look, the fireworks you want are all here!" Xiao Gong proudly stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

"Your hand..." Zhou Qi grabbed Xiao Gong's outstretched hand. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he realized that he had obviously treated Xiao Gong's injury, and now she had another bandage on her hand.

"Well, making fireworks is inevitable!" Xiao Gong hurriedly tried to pull her little hand away, but after pulling it twice she found that it couldn't be pulled back. She could only glare at the bad guy, and then said: "I'll move a chair for you! "

"oh oh..."

Soon, Xiao Gong brought a small bench over for Zhou Qi.

"This is the only one I have at home, don't get your clothes dirty."

"It's okay..." Zhou Qi casually lifted up his clothes. These clothes are quite pretentious when standing up and walking, but they are very uncomfortable when sitting down, not as good as pants.

Xiao Gong also moved a small bench and sat next to him, holding a spherical semicircle in his arms, holding a small bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, digging for gunpowder.

"I don't know how much you want, so I'm still doing it now!" Xiao Gong said: "But what do you want so many fireworks for? You can't cause damage to Inazuma!"

"Have you ever seen someone use fireworks to cause damage?" Zhou Qi laughed.

"I believe you, I'm just afraid that you will be misunderstood!" Xiao Gong said quickly: "Now Dao Wife is arresting people everywhere, I'm really afraid that you won't come back!"

"Are you worried about me?" Zhou Qi asked.

Xiao Gong subconsciously responded, but suddenly felt something was wrong again, and hurriedly said: "I, I am afraid that no one will pay after you are caught!"

"Then you can rest assured now, I am alive and well!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Gong said: "If you can, don't go out recently. You are a foreigner, and the soldiers under Tianling are very unreasonable. You might be caught anytime!"

"If I don't go out, where will I live?" Zhou Qi asked.

"This..." Xiao Gong was stunned, and a blush began to spread from his neck to his face, and his voice gradually became softer: "If you don't mind, I will make a room for you at home."

"Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Zhou Qi asked.

"I, I believe you are a good person!" Xiao Gong held the gunpowder in the small bowl seriously, but said more sincere words of love than each other's vows.

Zhou Qi felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He and Xiao Gong didn't seem to know each other for long. Xiao Gong knew nothing about him except his name.

Can you actually do this for me?

He has always been chasing others, but one day he was caught off guard and met someone who was unconditionally good to him.

At this moment, Zhou Qi somewhat understood Lao Xu's mood when he saw Xiuzhi.

"Suddenly, such a kind person walked into my life. It seemed that the day I had been waiting for for many years had finally arrived. She trusted me so much, and she didn't feel any stranger to me. It seemed like she had been waiting for me for a long time. Year...."

Zhou Qi gently touched the girl's flaming hair and said with a smile: "I am indeed a good person. Not only will I not be caught, I have also found a job in the castle tower these days!"

"Eh?" Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise: "You were chosen?"

"Choose what?"

"I saw someone posted a notice at the entrance of the village saying that Dao Wife is currently undergoing reforms and needs talents from all walks of life to join. Did you just go for an interview?" Xiao Gong asked curiously.

"Oh, you're talking about that recruitment order!" Zhou Qi said with a smile, "That's what I wrote!"

"So you can also write official documents!" Xiao Gong was even more happy: "I thought you could sing, oh, I forgot, you are from Liyue, so you should be able to write official documents!"

"Why do people from Liyue write official documents?" Zhou Qi was speechless.

"Because in my impression, Liyue people are very good at reading!" Xiaogong said: "There are also popular novels like our Dao Wife, but the best-selling novels are also written by you Liyue people."

Good guy, Xingqiu has single-handedly carried the banner of Liyue’s cultural output!

"Why do you look so happy when you say I'm writing official documents in the castle tower?" Zhou Qi asked.

"I'm just happy!" Xiao Gong chuckled, but didn't say why.

In fact, she regarded Zhou Qi as a bard.

Or a minstrel or something.

Although he has the courage to risk his own life for love, when he thinks of his elderly father and family business, no matter how romantic his ideals are, he will fall to the ground.

Now it turns out that Zhou Qi seems to have found a job in the castle tower.

Now that he has a stable job, he won't leave Dao's wife, and they can naturally live together.

But why is he looking for a job at Inazuma?

Is it for me?

When Xiao Gong thought of this, he felt sweet and a little sad at the same time.

If only this were true!

"If you work at the castle tower in the future, will you still travel?" Xiao Gong asked.

"Travel?" Zhou Qi shook his head: "If you go to travel, you should go with the person you love. Otherwise, if you go on the road alone, even the most beautiful scenery will look boring!"

He really doesn't like to travel. Although he travels everywhere, he always goes there with a purpose.

Xiao Gong thought wrong again, the blush on his face rose again before it disappeared. He quickly lowered his head, but he had no intention of working.

Since he was so confused, Xiao Gong simply put down the half-finished fireworks in his hand: "I'll take you to your room!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Gong walked in front, and the morning light shone on her long orange hair, giving it a different kind of brilliance. It was the color of sunlight, and was proof of the girl's vitality and youth.

"This is the kitchen, but I don't have a dining room at home. I usually sit at the door with my rice in my hands and eat!" Xiao Gong was a little embarrassed: "If you're not used to it, I'll make a dining room!"

"No need!" Zhou Qi said with a smile, "I'll sit at the door and eat too!"

Xiao Gong was stunned, thinking that the two of them were sitting at the door eating, wouldn't it be seen by all the neighbors?

But thinking about it again, the two of them had been seen hugging each other just now, so what happened to eating together.

You should slowly adapt to the feeling of having one more person in your life.

It’s just strange, why all of a sudden, I’m getting married!

"This is the study!" Xiao Gong pointed to another room and said.

"And there is a study room?" Zhou Qi was stunned. Did he remember that Xiao Gong didn't have a hobby of reading?

Or, like listening to music, an unwritten hobby?

"Oh, there aren't any serious books. They're all martial arts novels that my dad bought. If you want to read them, feel free to read them!"

"Yeah!" Zhou Qi didn't think he would come here to read novels, but in this case, there was no need to deny it.

"This room is for you!" Xiao Gong opened the door of a room and motioned for Zhou Qi to come in.

This is a room that is only a dozen square meters in size. It feels like Zhou Qi lived in a rental house in his previous life.

There was only one bed, a set of tables and chairs, a wardrobe, and a window next to it, but it belonged to Zhihu.

Although it is small, it is very clean, there are no cobwebs, there is no dust in the corners, and the table is wiped clean.

"This is my guest room, and the conditions are a bit shabby!" Xiaogong said, "But the bedding and bed are all new. My and dad's rooms are like this!"

"If you can't get used to it, I'll find someone to fix it!"

"Get used to it, get used to it!" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

He is not picky about living conditions, as long as he has a futon to meditate on. Now that he has entered a deeper state of concentration, he is not even picky about the environment and can enter concentration even in a busy city.

"Yeah!" Xiao Gong breathed a sigh of relief and added, "I'm right next door. If you need anything, just call me, or you can knock on this wall!"

Zhou Qi sensed that the place where Xiao Gong lived was indeed about the same size as this room, but Xiao Gong slept on the floor.

Oh, they probably call this a tatami.

Was it because you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to sleep well, so you specially prepared a bed for yourself?

If I don't come back, won't all her preparations be wasted?

There is only one explanation. She believes that she will come back and is ready to protect herself.

As for why it is a cover-up.

It's simple, because after entering Isshin Pure Land for the first time, General Raiden wanted two people.

One is Ying and the other is Zhou Qi.

With how well-informed Xiaogong was, it was impossible for her not to know, but from the moment they met until now, she hadn't said a word or asked a question.

There was never even a trace of awkwardness in the whole process.

There are only two situations for such a reaction.

First, she has no feelings for herself. She is trying to stabilize herself so that she can be caught.

Second, she was so affectionate towards herself that she didn't care about her own danger.

Xiao Palace is the second type.

because...

"This window leads directly to the river outside. There is a small boat in the river. You can leave Daozuma City in less than half an hour by boat..." Xiao Gong opened the window, as if telling Zhou Qi about the scenery outside. How good.

But what she was talking about was obviously an escape route!

"Xiao Gong?" Zhou Qi stood up and came to Xiao Gong's side.

"Huh?" Xiao Gong turned his head.

"You actually don't believe that I work at the castle tower, do you?" Zhou Qi asked softly.

"I, I, no..." Xiao Gong said with a smile: "How could I not believe you?"

"If I work at the castle tower, I can't get on this ship!" Zhou Qi pointed to the ship outside.

"No, no!" Xiao Gong immediately shook his head: "What I want is that we can go boating in the future..."

"But this ship is very small, and it can only fit one person!" Zhou Qi looked into Xiao Gong's eyes: "Why?"

"what why?"

"Why do you do this for me?" Zhou Qi asked softly, "We have only met once!"

"me..."

Xiao Gong lowered her head, and the pretense of strength on her face suddenly collapsed. She picked at the bandage on her hand, and her tone was choked: "I don't know either..."

"The feeling you give me is different from ordinary friends. I just don't want to lose you..."

Zhou Qi let out a long sigh of relief, then put his hands around Xiao Gong's slim waist and gently placed him on the bed behind him.

That posture was like holding a flawless jade.

"You, what are you going to do?" Xiao Gong's tone immediately trembled.

"Doing what we didn't get done that night."

"This..." Xiao Gong immediately panicked: "No, no, at least we have to wait until our wedding day, we..."

She suddenly remembered that Zhou Qi was a wanted criminal, how could he marry her openly?

The next moment, her resistance suddenly became weak, and her spirit became confused.

She remembered the plot in the martial arts novel she got from her father. The young hero offended the most powerful force in the martial arts world. The girl followed the young hero without hesitation and fled to the end of the world.

The two fell in love in the deserted wilderness, built a house in the barren mountains, gave birth to children, and then joined hands to fight back to the world.

I never thought that the story that happened in the novel would also happen to me!

She suddenly understood the role of fireworks. What he wanted was not the fireworks, but the gunpowder inside!

In order to open a gap in the tight defense of Tianling's soldiers, the amount of gunpowder must be as large as possible!

I just didn't expect that even though the fireworks were not used, a gap was opened in my heart first!

"pain..."

"now what?"

Along with the trickling water, Xiao Gong found that the pain was gradually disappearing, replaced by the brilliant red clouds in the sky, the clear cries of whales on the seaside, and the mountains full of cherry blossoms.

It is the most beautiful thing in the world that cannot be described in any words.

Immortal magic is so useful!

"Hey..."
