Mysterious country

Although the problem of the ghost curse was solved, the official business of worshiping had not yet been done, so after a short rest, they walked through the mountains and forests and returned to the Taoist temple.

Leng Yue had been acting depressed on the road. No matter what Xia Xia Qi or Chu Meng Qi said to him, he would lower his head and remain silent, like a child who kept blaming himself for doing something wrong.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Leng Yue cleaned the Taoist temple inside and out as usual, and then went to his master's graveyard with Chu Mengqi.

Xia Qi did not join in the fun, but chose to be a quiet and beautiful man, staying in the Taoist temple to rest.

Lying on the slightly damp bed, listening to the patter of rain outside, Xia Qi fell asleep quickly.

I don't know how long I slept for. When Xia Qi woke up, she found Chu Mengqi standing in front of the window of the house, stretching out a hand to touch the rain falling from the eaves.

"Didn't you go to worship with Leng Shen? When did you come back?"

Although Xia Qi said this on his lips, he was secretly cursing Chu Mengqi for appearing quietly like a brat every time.

"It's been several hours, okay. You slept like a pig, of course you didn't feel anything."

Chu Mengqi turned her head and rolled her eyes at Xia Qi. Looking at her expression of wanting to get angry, Xia Qi knew without guessing that she must have suffered from Leng Yue.

"Didn't Leng Shen come back with you?"

"How could his smelly and hard rock come back so early? He sent me back directly not long after we got there."

"This is more in line with his character. After all, no one would leave a crow that keeps calling away."

"You stinking scoundrel, who do you think is the crow?"

When Chu Mengqi heard Xia Qi scolding herself secretly, she walked over to the bed angrily.

"Don't take your seat. I didn't say it was you. Why are you so anxious?"

Xia Qi is not afraid of Chu Mengqi. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to fight, even if they do fight, with his current strength, Chu Mengqi is no longer his opponent.

Sitting up from the bed, Xia Qi ignored Chu Mengqi's anger, opened his arms and teased Chu Mengqi:

"Come here for a hug."

"I'll give you a big-headed hug! I'll make you look good sooner or later."

Chu Mengqi glared at Xia Qi fiercely, and stopped when she wanted to come over and teach Xia Qi a lesson. Xia Qi smiled proudly, then got off the bed, rubbed his eyes and glanced out the window where it was still raining lightly.

"You stay here and look after the house, I'll go out for a walk."

Xia Qi suddenly became interested, told Chu Mengqi, took out two apples from his luggage bag, and walked out leisurely.

"Go to hell, you better not let me see you again!"

Chu Mengqi roared at Xia Qi, but Xia Qi didn't even look at her and walked out of the yard.

"Smelly scoundrel, let's see if I don't eat all your fruits for you!"

Coming out of the yard, breathing the fresh mountain air and feeling the coolness of whispers nourishing all things, Xia Qi suddenly discovered that the Taoist temple with green bricks and red tiles behind him, coupled with the willow forest path in front of him, looked like a forest against the rain and fog. A beautiful picture with a unique artistic conception.

Walking along the path towards the back of the Taoist temple, Xia Qi saw an orchard covered with weeds because no one took care of it.

I think that when Leng Yue was little, she would often sit under the fruit tree in a daze.

"It's quite nice here. It's quiet and comfortable, without pollution or the hustle and bustle of a bustling city."

Xia Qi felt that if he had lived in such a place since he was a child, he might have become like Leng Yue, simple and quiet, and it would be difficult for him to integrate into the current urban life.

People are like this. The more they experience and understand, the more their outlook on life will change.

He still remembers his initial impression of Xu Tianhua. He thought Xu Tianhua was extremely hateful and completely inhumane. It was difficult to understand why a person could be so indifferent to life.

However, after a series of cruel events, when he himself was promoted to supervisor, he suddenly discovered that Xu Tianhua was irresponsible at best, but not as unbearable as he first imagined.

This means that the position has changed, the angle of looking at things has changed, so what you see has become different from before.

He hated Leng Yue at first, and felt that Leng Yue was pretentious and that they were not the same people at all. But after learning about Leng Yue's growth environment and gradually getting to know Leng Yue, his original thoughts no longer existed at all.

"It seems that that sentence is indeed true. If you have not experienced his life, you are not qualified to comment on his current situation."

After Xia Qi muttered to himself, he smiled and shook his head, feeling that his quality would probably improve from now on.

In front of Master Lengyue's grave, the ashes of three long incense sticks fell to the ground. A gust of cool wind blew by, causing the sacrifices placed in the basin to sway slightly.

Leng Yue knelt in front of the grave, and the rain had completely soaked his clothes.

I don't know whether it was tears or rain and dew flowing down my face.

"Master, I feel like I have changed now. I am no longer the person I used to be. I feel like I have not followed your teachings."

Leng Yue's voice was hoarse, as if the tomb in front of him was not a tomb, but his master himself was standing there, staring at him with a majestic face.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Leng Yue's voice was gradually drowned in the wind and rain, and the dry soil under his legs had turned into mud, but his back was still straight, and he would not leave that night.

When Xia Qi ran into the house in a panic like a drowned rat, Chu Mengqi was leaning on the bed, her two white feet moving gently.

Seeing Xia Qi come in covered with water, Chu Mengqi raised a little foot, pointed to the door and said:

"Don't take off your clothes in my sight. Take off your clothes next door, so as not to stain my eyes."

"You have the nerve to accuse me? Who asked you to eat my apples? Didn't you know that those are my rations for the past two days!"

"Don't worry, I've left some for you, enough for you to eat when you lose weight."

Chu Mengqi said and put another strawberry into her mouth.

"I think you just need to lose weight. You're quite happy with what you're eating."

Xia Xia Qi walked over, grabbed the bag of strawberries, and then put it into his luggage bag.

"Stingy!" Chu Mengqi muttered and curled her lips.

"If you are willing to eat, buy it yourself."

"You are destined to live a lonely life if you are so stingy."

"You're a mortal, you know nothing. Have you ever heard of red fruit and vegetable elves? They can only eat red fruits and vegetables and don't eat the fireworks of the world."

"Yes, yes, great fruit and vegetable elf, can we have a nice chat without bragging?"

Chu Mengqi couldn't stand it and glanced at Xia Qi, then changed the topic and said:

"I think we need to talk about what happens next."
