Journey to the Rose

A group of people came to the border of Key City.

Walking here, the style and appearance here are different from those in the previous city.

Here is a vast plain stretching out under the sky.The wind carries the smell of Lingfeng grass and moist soil, and the ground is green as far as one can see.

Along the border line, unknown trees are planted side by side, with dense leaves and rippling branches.The plain is not big, but it is an important turning point when the block rises from north to south.

The mountains stand at the end of the plain, hidden in the clouds.

Ruan Xi guessed, that is no longer? The far north.After the next city has passed, their situation will be much better when they reach the part of the northern region controlled by the Lu Zhenghe Northern Alliance.

It has not been affected by the fission of the ground, and the border still maintains the calmness of the past.

On the plain, the paths stepped on by people are like blood vessels in the human body, branching out of the river bed and passing through the grass.

It seems that some people have successfully passed the guidance and left the country smoothly.And judging from the guidance process, it is not particularly difficult to get the key in Key City before leaving.

Overall, the city is still very friendly.

No? But the problem now is that Li Shen doesn't know how to "unlock" the lock with the key.

"Hold the key..." Li Shen muttered in a low voice, "Will you be able to pass by walking forward?"

"There should be nothing wrong. Come on, take a step back and let me try first."

As the "think tank" of the team, Wen Kai is proficient in the customs and culture of 26 cities, and knows how this key is related to leaving the country.

He was the first to bear the brunt, first took out the key that he hid in his sleeve, and held the key tightly in the palm of his hand.With courage, Wen Kai took the first step forward, stepping on the border with his toes.

Wen Kai stepped over.

Then, the breeze blew and the grass fell low.

He stood on the other side of the border, looking calm and safe.

The few remaining people looked at each other. Ruan Xi knew that time was precious, so she didn't want to talk nonsense, she raised her legs and was about to take a step.Just as the soles of his feet landed on the extremely soft lawn, he was surprised to find that Lu Zhenghe had stepped decisively and stood outside the border?

No? That's right, isn't Lu Zhenghe's key? Did you get it by yourself?

can also be used?

Ruan Xi was stunned for a second, looked down at the key in his hand, then at Lu Zhenghe's hand hanging beside him, and said, "Your key actually works?"

"sure."

Lu Zhenghe's voice sounded a little weak, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was enduring something, probably because the pain from the wound on his back was really hard for him to bear.

No? After a while, the wind on the plain became stronger, and Lu Zhenghe was afraid that Ruan Xi would not be able to hear him clearly, so he raised his volume a little: "I think..."

"What do you think?"

"It must be because I tagged you."

"Don't you do this kind of thing? Say it so loudly!"

"what's up?"

"Just... mark it."

"What's wrong with the mark?" Lu Zhenghe seemed to be playing tricks on purpose, with a smile hidden in the corner of his mouth, but unfortunately he couldn't hide it, it all showed in his eyes, "it's normal to mark your omega."

"you……"

It's over, Ruan Xi's face is so hot.

He shrugged one shoulder, trying to cool his red ears with the coolness of the fabric.

Maybe it was because she was used to fighting with her husband. Ruan Xi was so angry that she raised her hand subconsciously and punched Lu Zhenghe in the chest. ? Push back hard, and pull ? Ruan Xi directly over.

Ruan Xi threw herself into Lu Zhenghe's arms, causing the latter to stagger, and took several steps back before standing still.

Wen Kai looked down at the grass behind his young master, and watched the play again, as if mourning for the trampled grass.

Ruan Xi is still confused: "..."

"what happened?"

Lu Zhenghe put two fingers together and waved in front of him.

Ruan Xi was surprised: "I just came here?!"

Lu Zhenghe continued to use his calm skills: "Yes."

Li Shen usually pretends to be not afraid of the sky, but at this time, he is a little resistant and afraid of the unknown.

He hasn't crossed the border yet, but said from the back: "Ruan Xi, your key is correct, so there must be no problem. No? But why can the young master pass? Isn't his key? You got it Is it?"

Wen Kai stood behind a certain newlywed couple, and suddenly said, "Maybe it's because Ruan Xi was marked, and they are spouses, so..."

Li Shen couldn't help but complained: "Damn it, how could there be such dog-abusing rules of the game!"

Wen Kai said indifferently: "That's right, that's how dog abuse is. So some people who have no spouse and no one to mark, hurry up and get over with their keys? Come on."

Li Shen, Song Shumian, Gu Zirong: "..."

Wen Kai was indeed Wen Kai, his mouth was so poisonous that the three of them felt stabbed in the chest at the same time.

Surprisingly, there was no problem with Song Shumian's key, and he passed the border smoothly.

Wen Kai couldn't help but held his key and looked at it for a long time. He suspected that he didn't need a key at all because the city-states were too close to each other and the customs spread among each other. This might just be a boring "prank" by the people of Key City. .

After "hurting" the three teammates, Wen Kai withdrew his thoughts and forgot to add: "No? Sorry, I didn't mean to offend."

Li Shen snorted at him: "You are so cheap."

Shrugging his shoulders, Wen Kai spread his hands and hit back: "There is no way, the one who is close to the ink is black."

After finally poking at an idiom learning point that Li Shen understood well, he continued defenselessly: "Closer to Zhu Zhechi?"

This is what Wen Kai wanted.

He smiled slightly: "You are that pig."

Li Shen: "..."

Ruan Xi hid behind Lu Zhenghe and snickered, laughing so that Lu Zhenghe also curled his lips. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured, so he couldn't move too much, he could only stretch out his fingers to tease Ruan Xi.

The fingers of her own alpha hooked her neck, Ruan Xi was tickled, and wanted to fight back while laughing.

Lu Zhenghe seemed to be deliberately provoking trouble, and asked, "Is it that funny?"

Ruan Xi said: "It's funny, your subordinates are very funny. Why do you always have such a sad face every day?"

Lu Zhenghe shook his head and denied, "I haven't. Compared to before, I'm much better now."

"Before?" Hearing that he was so willing to do self-examination, Ruan Xi was in a daze, raised her eyes, and asked him: "Do you still remember the past?"

Lu Zhenghe: "No? I remember, but..."

Ruan Xi: "But what?"

Is it morning? The sun has climbed to the top of the distant hills and shines on the plains.

The rocks were bare, stained red by the sun, and mixed in the mud that hadn't yet dried up.Everything was as calm as the past? The grass was blown like candles by the wind.

"I mean compared to the time when I reunited with you," Lu Zhenghe held his hand, "I laugh a lot more now."

Seeing his slightly raised eyebrows because of joy, Ruan Xi tried hard to recall "the early days of Lu Zhenghe".

The two of them seem to be in a mode of getting along with each other, "it's okay to punch me twice", "I hate you and you look dumbfounded".

Now it seems that it is indeed... more harmonious.

Lu Zhenghe also liked to laugh more and more.

Ruan Xi thought for a while, then nodded silently, squeezed Lu Zhenghe's palm, expressing her approval in her own way.

After being recognized, Lu Zhenghe was in a good mood, and continued: "You also love to laugh more."

Ruan Xi said lightly: "Really?"

"Well," Lu Zhenghe said, "I'm honored to see you like this."

·

The city of leg-pull is less than 1000 meters away from the border.

Mischief City -

The name sounds very "sinful".

Thinking about those actions that could be called pranks, Ruan Xi felt a headache.

He suddenly understood why Wen Kai had a strange expression when he talked about the city, because he could be tricked at any time and encounter some strange things.And without a car, without the luggage and equipment needed for daily life, their journey seems to be more difficult.

Lu Zhenghe originally wanted to buy a car, but Wen Kai said not yet? It's time.

The land is undergoing drastic changes, and people are fleeing cities with permanent population. There must still be cars in the city that can drive. Before the next ground fission comes, you can look for it.

However, one thing was relatively lucky.

Because it is located in a plain area, Leg-Pull City receives the sunshine in all directions, and the four seasons are like spring.

When entering the city-state, the weather is no longer cold.The air is even a little stuffy, and I can't feel any wind.

The city is relatively prosperous, with neatly built streets and complete facilities.Just like those popular cities in the past, there are many people buying supplies on the street, and many stalls have been snapped up.

But often in this way, for them, it is more likely to be dangerous.

Lu Zhenghe has been on the battlefield for a long time and has always been cautious. Holding his gun, he found a small corner on the side of the street where he could shelter, and asked Gu Zirong to take Song Shumian to hide here, and they went out to observe the situation.

Before Lu Zhenghe rushed out, he was dragged back by Ruan Xi.

"Honestly? Stay."

Ruan Xi blocked him in the corner of the wall, frowned, and shot out a threat warning "Aren't you obedient? Divorce" from the fundus of his eyes. Lifting his chin, he turned and walked into the crowd.

Lu Zhenghe secretly felt that Ruan Xi was getting more and more fierce.

Isn't this kind of "fierce"? It's the kind of fierceness that would kill oneself as soon as they meet, but another kind...the kind of "fierceness" with tenderness.The reason why Ruan Xi got angry, stared, and pulled her ears was because of worry and anxiety.

Lu Zhenghe didn't say anything on the surface, but it was actually very useful.

As soon as the "Young Master's Madam" walked away with a gun, Li Shen and Gu Zirong were the two capable of fighting, they reacted quickly, and quickly made up with their weapons, leaving Wen Kai and Song Shumian.

Lu Zhenghe was injured, so he had no choice but to obey Ruan Xi obediently.

He took out a pistol from his armament belt, still struggling to stand upright, and stood in a row with Wen Kai, alert to sudden changes in the surrounding situation.

An hour later, Ruan Xi came back with a newly bought ointment.

Both Li Shen and Gu Zirong were carrying food, which was a bag of shiny grilled sausages.

However, Wen Kai was a little disgusted with the taste of grilled sausages.

He covered his nose, didn't he? He wanted to eat too much.But from the moment he saw the food, his stomach started growling.

Ruan Xi fed Lu Zhenghe first, and felt that the other party suddenly turned into a large domesticated dog, opening his mouth as soon as he said it, and biting it as soon as he said it.

Seeing Wen Kai's hesitation, Ruan Xi? No? He said, "Wen Kai, this is the only food left in the market. Eat a little to fill your stomach. Let's find a hotel to rest later."

"He doesn't? Forget it!"

As Li Shen said, he glanced at Ruan Xi, picked up Wen Kai's sausage, and made a gesture to stuff it into his mouth, "I'll eat it!"

Wen Kai patted him on the back, "Who says I don't? Eat, I want to eat!!!"

Snatching the sausage from Li Shen's hand, Wen Kai pulled off the mask, gestured at the size of the sausage, and tried to open his mouth wide, trying to pinch his nose and swallow it in one gulp.

As a result, he had just taken his first bite, before he could chew—

The remaining grilled sausage was suddenly stuffed into Li Shen's mouth by some unknown force.

Li Shen was choked up.

He froze in place, staring at Wen Kai.

The two stood under the scorching sun and communicated with each other through the air.

"I……"

Li Shen was afraid of being beaten, so he was so frightened that he wanted to explain immediately, but when he spoke, the sausage would definitely be bitten, didn't he? Knowing whether Wen Kai wanted to eat it, he could only point to his own mouth, and then point to Wen Kai mouth.

How about? Give it back to you?

Wen Kai lowered his brows, seeming to be even more disgusted: "I don't? I want it."

"Okay," Li Shen quickly ate up the sausage, taking advantage, no? He said embarrassedly, "This, this is the pot of the city of pranks."

Squinting his eyes, Wen Kai pretended to be calm: "Maybe."

Li Shen once again felt a chill down his spine.

"Ah? Is this the City of Mischief?" Ruan Xi turned her head and whispered to Lu Zhenghe's face.

"Well," Lu Zhenghe nodded, "It is true that such... harmless pranks often happen."

"Haha."

Ruan Xi laughed secretly, took out the ointment she bought from her pocket, and handed it to Lu Zhenghe: "You pack it well, and when you get to the room, I'll ask Wen Kai to come over and apply the ointment to you."

Lu Zhenghe nodded.

·

The noisy morning passed.

At noon, they dragged their tired bodies and finally found a place to stay in a hotel in the city that was still open.

It seems to be a poorly managed place, you pay to stay, but they have no other choice.

After opening the room, several people determined a time to start again, and then went back to the room to rest.

Wen Kai needed to give Lu Zhenghe medicine, so he knocked on the door with a simple medical bag.

Ruan Xi went downstairs to buy pancakes for Wen Kai, saying that they could pad his stomach.

When eating the pancake, Wen Kai was careful and moved quickly, fearing that the pancake would be stuffed into the young master's mouth by a prank.When the time comes to greet him, it will be the death stares of two people.

"By the way, Wen Kai." Ruan Xi said.

"what happened?"

"You said that Song Shumian's snapdragon meant deception... Does that mean he deceived others, or did others deceive him?"

"It's not clear. However, I think he was deceived. Because guidance is a passive pointing."

"Cheated?" Ruan Xi was lost in thought.

Who will deceive Song Shumian?

Song Shumian and him grew up together, and their social relationship was very simple, basically they had no other contacts except those in school.

In Ablaze City, apart from the false associations and plastic friendships between the eldest sons of various families, Song Shumian, like himself, is always the one who is always contended for and excluded.

After applying the medicine, Lu Zhenghe took off his shirt. Wen Kai and Ruan Xi worked together to wrap Lu Zhenghe's upper body with medical bandages into sugar dumplings.

It may be that Ruan Xi was too nervous and not skilled enough to do this kind of thing, his hands trembled, some parts of Lu Zhenghe were reddened, his muscles bulged, and the bandages rolled out like small hills.

After bandaging, Wen Kai said goodbye and went back to his room to rest.

"You haven't rested for a long time," Ruan Xi looked at Lu Zhenghe's exhausted face, feeling distressed, "Go to sleep, as long as you can rest."

Lu Zhenghe also noticed the blue and black eyes of the other party, "What about you?"

"I'm sleeping too," Ruan Xi began to undress, her heart beating faster, "I'll sleep with you."

"it is good."

As Lu Zhenghe said, he shook the training uniform that he had already taken off, and put it beside the bed, so that he could take it in case of emergency.

Then, he untied the military belt around his waist, and prepared to take off his training pants and military boots.

He took off his trousers—

Ruan Xi was taken aback for a moment, trying to suppress a burst of laughter in her throat.

Lu Zhenghe: "..."

Ruan Xi: "..."

Lu Zhenghe's legs were inexplicably wearing the pair of white lace suspenders they brought from Holy City.Under the muscle lines of the legs, delicate and fragile white flowers are wrapped.

During the silence between the two, Lu Zhenghe had a headache again.

He grabbed the training uniform and tried to cover his legs, pretending to be calm: "It's a problem with the city of pranks."

"is it?"

Ruan Xi knew that it must be the reason of Mischief City, but she was about to be laughed at? Dead, "Did you wear it yourself!"

The corners of Lu Zhenghe's mouth were tense, his face was solemn, he was so ashamed and annoyed: "No? Yes."

"Let me see," Ruan Xi rushed over to lift off the training uniform, "Let me see you take it off again!"

Seeing Ruan Xi so happy, Lu Zhenghe felt ashamed so he should be ashamed.

He overcame the psychological barrier in an instant, simply threw away the training uniform, and raised his eyebrows: "How is it?"

"Um……"

Ruan Xi was so teased that she was speechless, and thought about how to answer to win, so she said, "Very good? Yes, I seem to be more excited."

Lu Zhenghe didn't expect his overly straightforward answer: "..."

Leg-pull·63 Little Lu who needs a beating!
