to blame

As soon as Nan Jiang left, Ming Xia began to fidget.

He was worried that the area of ​​Xishan was too large, and that Nan Jiang and his teammates would not take the same route as those who organized expeditions from the club.He was also worried that old man Bi and his team were not capable of surviving in the wild, in case they encountered some ferocious beast... the other members didn't know, but Tu Qing and old man Bi's bodies seemed to be not very difficult.

Ming Xia waited anxiously until the next afternoon, when finally the little magpie who reported the news came, a young girl named Li Youran, who claimed to be Nan Jiang's subordinate.

For some reason, when Ming Xia saw this tall girl with a high ponytail, she also felt familiar, as if she had just seen her not long ago.But he also knew that he couldn't ask other girls such things, as soon as he asked, his taste changed, and he became a little hooligan and flirted with beautiful women.

"Our captain is talking about you." Li Youran looked him up and down, with a curious expression on his face, "He asked me to send you a message. Tu Qing was found, he was not injured, and everything is fine. They still need help in the mountains. Stay for a few days, so don't worry."

Ming Xia patted his chest, so he almost said thank God, "I must treat your captain to dinner!"

Li Youran pursed her lips and smiled, "You're quite an interesting person... Hey, tell me about that guy who blows his hair when he sees a cat, what kind of person is he?"

"Qiao He?" Ming Xia recalled yesterday that Nan Jiang said that he would arrange for someone to investigate him, so he quickly asked, "Have you found out his whereabouts?"

"Check it out." Li Youran tilted her head and looked at Ming Xia, "What did he say? It's best not to miss a single word." Ming Xia let Li Youran into the room, and entertained her with ice cola.No matter what the girl is here for, it's never good to have people standing at the door talking.However, Li Youran didn't seem to appreciate it too much, and urged him impatiently when he took the ice coke, "Oh, don't worry about it, just sit down and talk about it."

Ming Xia is speechless, why both of them are short-tempered?

Ming Xia described in detail the situation when she met Qiao He yesterday, focusing on the performance of the beauty.Because when the hamster Beibei had an accident, the beauty had a big reaction, so Ming Xia didn't dare to underestimate the fat cat.

When they were talking, the beauty was taking her two followers: a fat orange and a white cat with mandarin duck eyes, lying on the edge of the flower bed in front of the pet shop to bask in the sun.The sun was warm, and the three fat cats slept so that their bellies were exposed.It's hard for Li Youran to imagine how such a chubby, fluffy little guy managed to make such a ferocious expression.

"Are you familiar with Qiao He?" Li Youran asked him, "Do you have a chance to get in touch with him?"

"Not very familiar," Ming Xia actually didn't say a few words to him, "However, he said that his classmates are going to celebrate his birthday today, and invited Lao Tu and me to their party."

Li Youran's eyes lit up, "I'll go with you."

Ming Xia, "..."

He didn't actually intend to go.He just wanted to say that the reason why he knew Qiao He was entirely in Tu Qing's favor.

"I'll prepare the presents," Li Youran said directly, "Let's just say that Lao Tu is not here, so you bring your girlfriend over to join in the fun."

The other party is a girl's family, and there are still important business matters to be dealt with, Ming Xia really can't say "you go by yourself".

"Okay then." Ming Xia looked her carefully, "Will it be dangerous?" In fact, he wanted to ask if the girl's force value was good. He is half disabled right now, and his body is still covered with bandages. .

Li Youran waved his hand boldly, "It's okay, if there is any danger, you run first, don't worry about me."

Ming Xia, "..."

The secret thought was exposed by a girl's family, no matter how thick-skinned Ming Xia was, she still couldn't stand it.He coughed uncomfortably, and criticized her righteously, "How can you say that, anyway, I'm a man."

Li Youran patted him on the shoulder, "I don't want a personal hero. Let me tell you, just run when you encounter danger, be good. Don't hold me back. That's all right, it's settled. I'm going back to put on makeup and change my body now." Clothes, come to pick you up at seven?"

Ming Xia said with a dull face, "Okay."

Is this really a girl's house?Why did he feel that their roles were a bit confused?Don't hold back on these, what time will I come to pick you up, shouldn't it be the lines of the old man?

The pure men in girls' skins didn't want to give Ming Xia a chance to discuss their identities, so they left without hesitation after setting a time.Ming Xia looked at the time, before performing the task, he still had enough time to cook some meat and feed the cats and dogs.If those frightened dogs are willing to open their hearts and get out of the cage to explore the outside world, he is still happy to take them out for a walk.

The place where Qiao He celebrated his birthday was the Sakura Bar on West Street.

There is a square with a statue of Nuwa standing between the east and west streets of the old city, which is not far from the distance.There are two bars on West Street, one is Jiuyue Bar and the other is Cherry Blossom Bar.The latter is more lively and has many tricks. From time to time, some popular bands will be invited to perform. It is a place where young people like to get together.

In fact, Ming Xia is a little surprised that Qiao He likes to hang out in this kind of place.Because in his impression, people who learn classical music are the kind of gentlemen and ladies who don't eat the fireworks of the world, and they have a fairy spirit when they appear on the stage.Even if you want to go down to experience the joys of worldly life, you should go to September Bar, where the music is ethereal, and all the customers are politely holding tea and chatting quietly, not Sakura, who stays for a while and worries that he will be deafened. The place.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a special person to do the registration.Ming Xia went over to sign, handed over the gift prepared by Li Youran, and then the two of them were let in.It was still early at this moment, but the atmosphere in the bar had already been stirred up, the air was hot, and the men and women in the room seemed to be dancing wildly.

Ming Xia led Li Youran to squeeze in. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed Qiao He and several men and women crowded beside the bar, but when they passed through the crowd, he saw that this person had disappeared.

The two of them could only find an empty table nearby and sit down. Ming Xia ordered two drinks and came over, but Li Youran picked them up, sniffed them, put them back on the table, and then took out two cans of Coke from her backpack Come, share a can of Ming Xia.

Ming Xia looked at the drink he brought, and whispered in Li Youran's ear, "Can't you drink it?"

The surroundings were too noisy, and Li Youran was not afraid that people would hear what he said, so he nodded and said, "There are ingredients in it."

Ming Xia froze for a moment, looked at the surrounding environment, and asked her, "It's... Chun... Chun..."

Li Youran patted him on the head, "What are you thinking?"

Ming Xia made two hey hey sounds in embarrassment.

"Exciting stuff. But..." Li Youran paused, glanced at the twisting crowd on the dance floor, and said thoughtfully, "This is kind of interesting."

"What do you mean?"

Li Youran thought for a while, stretched out two fingers and stroked lightly on his eyelids, and said softly, "Look for yourself."

Ming Xia felt a slight chill on his eyelids, and there seemed to be a cool mint aroma wafting past his nose.At first, he thought it was the smell of perfume on Li Youran's body, but soon realized that it was the smell from what Li Youran put on his eyelids, it seemed like a kind of ointment.

"Did you see it?" Li Youran waited for his reaction with great interest.

Ming Xia didn't realize what she asked him to look at at first, his eyes swept across the bar, the dancers twisting and turning on the stage, the waiters passing through the crowd, and finally looked at the dance floor in the middle of the hall.The colored lights above the head were flickering, and the figures were also dangling. When Ming Xia was dazzled, he suddenly found a woman wearing a very strange dress. Watching her dance steps sway very flexibly, just like the real thing.

This woman is wearing a short leather skirt, which is like a layer of skin, wrapping the entire center smoothly, and the tail seems to be hanging on the tail, where the vertebrae are. When she turned around, Ming Xia's eyes were sharp. I saw an inconspicuous bulge in that part.

"How did you put it on?" Ming Xia stared at her wonderingly, "Hanging on the underwear, on the pants? Isn't it uncomfortable to wear? I think it looks good hanging directly on the outside of the skirt."

Li Youran spit out a mouthful of water, lowered her head and coughed.

Ming Xia hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her. He thought she was laughing at him, and explained embarrassingly: "My sister is a female man and never wears skirts. So I don't know much about girls' clothes..."

Li Youran looked at him like he was looking stupid.

"Are you serious?" She coughed and asked him, "Where's that guy over there? His clothes are also worn out?"

Ming Xia looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a thin man with bare upper body wriggling around a young girl.Behind him, where normal humans should be the spine, a series of dark things are poking out from under the skin bit by bit.

The colored lights above were flickering, and there were many figures around him swaying with the music, but from Ming Xia's angle, he could clearly see those bony spur-like things growing bigger and bigger, behind him like a big fan It slowly stretched out, reminding Ming Xia of the spinosaur that he had seen in the book.

Ming Xia was dumbfounded.He saw that weird thing growing with his own eyes, how could he convince himself that it was actually some kind of entertainment prop? !

Seeing him like this, Li Youran regained her mental balance. She reached out and pushed Ming Xia's arm, motioning him to watch the stage.

The lights on the stage were turned on, and the dancers retreated to the back, giving up the most eye-catching position in front to today's birthday star.Qiao He stood leaning on the steel pipe, his cheeks were flushed, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine.He was wearing a nondescript gown with long sleeves, like the official groom's gown in an ancient costume TV series, and a red tulle cloak in the style of a studio.His half-length hair was loose, and he didn't look like a musician, but more like a farce performer.

"Brothers and sisters, welcome to my birthday party." Qiao He waved drunkenly, "I love you!"

The people below clapped their hands and booed, and some began to whistle.

Li Youran frowned, "What is that around his neck?"

"Gold chain." Ming Xia was also uncertain.They were a little far away from the stage, and they could only roughly see a golden strip going around his neck and hanging down long. There seemed to be a strange pendant hanging from it, not too big, and it looked shiny from a distance. It glows with a faint blue light, like a deep and mysterious eye.
