[Infinite Stream] Destiny Rubik's Cube

There is a towering locust tree in front of the gate of the Zhu family compound. Standing under the tree and looking up, the heavy locust tree canopy seems to cover the sky and block out the sun.

"There are locust trees in front of the door, you can get promoted and get rich." Xu Chi listened to the whispers of people around him.

"No." Jiang Yu stroked his non-existent beard and shook his head mutteringly, "This is clearly a big tree pressing down on the door, and the family has no descendants."

"Do you know Feng Shui?" Xu Chi's eyes fell on the high threshold of the gate.

Inside the door, Mrs. Zhu, who has passed the year of destiny, led a group of young people walking slowly.

"Know nail caps a little bit." Jiang Yu pinched his fingers and compared, bragging proudly, "To tell you the truth, brother, I have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and my neighbors are all top feng shui masters. Can recite some formulas. Planting trees in the front and back of this house is very particular about planting elms in the east, peaches in the west, mulberries in the front, and willows in the back. When there are trees on the roof, there will be widows... "

Zhou Qi leaned on the trunk of the locust tree, holding a hay stick in his mouth, stretched out his hand and slapped the back of his head again: "If you beg for food, concentrate on begging and cheat like the blind fortune-teller next door! Let me tell you where the MLM temperament in you comes from." Yes, the co-author was soaked from the big dye vat."

"Don't keep slapping people on the head!" Jiang Yu screamed and hid behind Xu Chi, staring at her round eyes, ready to cry, "What can I do, wandering needs capital support, and you have to learn some special skills to survive , I didn’t steal or rob, what’s wrong with the fortune telling... By the way, brother, I’ve been curious for a long time, what exactly did you do to get caught?”

The little guy's ability to change the subject is excellent.

Zhou Qi's prison uniform emphasized its origin all the time, and he received attention all the way, so he leaned in and gave Jiang Yu a middle finger: You are cruel.

Jiang Yu was very modest and accepted it with a smile.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Qi and Xu Chi had no communication in the whole process.

Entering the Rubik's Cube again, the participants changed into a group of people. Although these people all had different degrees of fear on their faces, they were still calm. They obviously had more or less relevant experience. Jiang Yu speculated from this—this group Everyone may have left the Novice Village.

As for why the three of them still met after the disruption and reorganization, it could only be explained by damn fate.

"Ah, I miss Sister Ren a little bit." On the way, Jiang Yu was still thinking about his plastic sisters.

"Nowadays the floods are raging, the famine is rampant, and the people are in dire straits. Zhu's family has saved the poor from generation to generation, and they are willing to do good deeds. They should do their best. My compatriots have come from a long distance, and they must be exhausted. Hot water and meals have been prepared. Come in and rest quickly. "

Old lady Zhu was wearing a purple soft satin with patterns of copper coins embroidered on it, and her white hair was combed neatly. Although she had a loud voice and smiled kindly at the moment, from the deep law lines on her face, shrewd eyes, and children's It can be seen from people's respectful attitude that she should be a serious and serious old man on weekdays.

Before they figured out the rules, everyone dared not speak.

"Oh, what are you doing standing there like a goose? The wind is so strong, why don't you come in quickly?" A woman who was holding Mrs. Zhu on her hips urged her with a shrill voice, a swan-neck face, and a high forehead. Xingmu's eyes are domineering and seem a little mean.

He also spoke harshly: "What's the matter, you have to be urged and invited four times when you come to eat free food?"

"Siblings, please be more polite." The woman standing on the other side of the old lady reminded her in a low voice.

"Sister, I'm already very polite. You don't know that I usually talk like this." The sister-in-law fiddled with the tassels on the hairpin, pursed her mouth, "Mother is not in good health, I am not afraid that she will catch the wind, Coughing again at night? My heart aches when I hear it."

Upon hearing this, the old lady Zhu bent her eyes and patted her hand, her pampering and preference were on the bright side: "Rong'er is filial and outspoken. The second child is not at home all year round, so you should take more care of the head of the family."

The elder sister's expression dimmed, she twisted her handkerchief and stopped talking.

Xu Chi looked back and forth between the sisters-in-law and found it quite interesting.

Everyone entered Zhu's house obediently.

The one who was busy arranging board and lodging for the guests was the unpopular elder sister, the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, Min.

Zhu Min's wearing lake green double-breasted regular clothes, oval face, two curved eyebrows, and a pair of slender bones, people dare not look directly into each other's eyes, and speak in a soft voice, looking extremely gentle and weak.

Xu Chi watched coldly from the side, and found that most of the servants in this family didn't take her seriously, and ran happily to the second room to obey orders as soon as the front feet were on the errands, and they did a lot of things. .

There were at least twenty or thirty people in this group, and they couldn't fit in ordinary wing rooms, so they were all arranged in Chase shops.

A bunk can sleep ten people, a total of three.

When choosing a bed, Jiang Yu would drag Zhou Qi and Xu Chi to sleep together, one on the left and one on the right, and he slept in the middle, not to mention a sense of security.

Xu Chi had an attitude of not caring about anything, and Zhou Qi didn't bother to talk about it, so he just made up his mind in a daze.

As the day went down, the bed was made, and when it was time to eat, the servants came to call for someone.

Several round tables were set up in the main room. On the tables were tofu mixed with shallots, stir-fried day lily, steamed buns with white flour and pickled cucumbers, a bucket of rice porridge with less rice and more soup, without any fishy smell.Everyone didn't dare to complain, and just buried their heads in the hot rice soup.

"The family is struggling, and the hospitality is not good. Please forgive me." Zhu Min apologized to the big guy with a shame on his face.

No one paid her any attention.

A landscape screen separates the lively Zhu family from the guests.

Jiang Yu gnawed on the steamed buns made of white flour, and watched as white-sliced ​​chicken, braised lion head, steamed sea bass and other hard dishes passed by one after another. Take a couple of sniffs...

"Don't look at plums to quench your thirst. No matter how you smell it, the steamed bun in your mouth will not turn into a lion's head." Zhou Qi was amused by his gluttonous appearance.

Standing aside, Zhu Min's face became even redder, and he was so embarrassed that he faltered and wanted to explain something, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Ma'am, don't worry about them, come and eat!" Zhu Xiao, the eldest son of the Zhu family, turned around the screen with big strides, trying to pull Mrs. Min back.

That Zhu Xiao was born with a dignified appearance, thick eyebrows and hanging eyes, with a kind of arrogance, and he was unwilling to give alms to these refugees who were eating and drinking.

"Wait for me……"

"Yes, sister, mother is waiting for you." Su Rong also came forward with a scarlet skirt. The second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family was quite different from the Min family in terms of appearance and personality.The weather was not hot, but the material on her body was pitifully scant, her snow-white neck and wrists were exposed, and her waist was faintly visible under the tulle.She pushed Zhu Xiao away, pretending to be affectionate, and warmly grabbed Min's wrist, "Sister, let me tell you, today I have Sixi meatballs that you like, and they won't taste good when they are cold. Xiao Sui reminds me that I don’t need you to feed me even if I have a mouth, so what are you doing…”

Mrs. Min was dragged away by her persuasion and annoyance.

"Bah! Look, is this speaking human language?" Jiang Yu spat in a low voice.

Beside him, Xu Chi was holding a bowl in a daze.

The porridge had just been scooped out of the cauldron, and it could scald a person's skin off. The person's ten fingertips were scalded from white to red, but he didn't know it.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Zhou Qi called out.

Xu Chi was obviously taken aback, his eyes turned back to his senses, and he put down the porridge bowl: "It's nothing."

Zhou Qi watched him press his red-hot fingers on the back of his neck to cool down, and an incredible idea came to his mind.

"Do you want to eat?" Zhou Qi leaned over with a playful expression, "What do you want to eat, brother brought it for you?"

Xu Chi drooped his eyelashes, and the eight winds did not move: "No."

Zhou Qi is bad, so he lied to him: "Then why are you drooling?"

Xu Chi's movements froze, barely restraining the subconscious urge to wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Hahahahaha, just kidding." Zhou Qi picked up a pickled cucumber and threw it into his mouth, chewing it loudly, "I don't know about you, anyway, I'm quite greedy, and I haven't had a decent meal these days Rice, especially the steamed sea bass..."

Xu Chi stared at him with dark eyes.

When he looked at people like this, his whole body exuded silent condemnation, and Zhou Tutou was a little scared: "Why, what's the matter?"

Xu Chi gently put down his chopsticks, got up, and left.

Zhou Qi: "..."

Just teasing him a few words, are you so angry?

"Huh? Brother Chi left just like that? He didn't eat a bite! It's better to stuff a steamed bun than starve... Brother Chi!"

"Okay, don't be called a soul." Zhou Qi's expression was not very good, "Turn back and take two steamed buns back, if he doesn't eat, you'll be the one to starve to death."

"?" Jiang Yu was stunned, "No, what does it matter to me?"

After drinking some porridge indiscriminately, Zhou Qi came out and bumped into Xu Chi at the door. He was leaning against the porch pillar, looking up at something with his head up, his chin stretched out from his neck to his neck.

Zhou Qi stood beside him for a while, thinking about what to say.

In fact, he just wanted to ask a question, where did you learn fencing?

But he had an intuition that Xu Chi would not tell him. In fact, he was sure that no matter what he asked, Xu Chi would not answer truthfully.

The marks of vigilance on this person are too heavy, and he refuses people thousands of miles away.

The night wind was slightly cold, and there was a strange fragrance in the air, which came from the old pagoda tree in flowering period outside the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Xu Chi who spoke first, with a slight lift of the chin to the rolling Adam's apple, the smooth lines slid gently: "Do you have something to say?"

Zhou Qi touched his nose: "Is it obvious?"

"Obviously." Xu Chi nodded, "It's been a whole day."

Yes, Zhou Qi circled around Xu Chi intentionally or unintentionally all day long, glancing at him from the corner of his eye when he was close, and pricking up his ears to listen when he was far away. The straight man was tortured to death.

"Cough." Zhou Qi twitched his cropped hair, pointed at Xu Chi with his chin, "That day at No. [-] Swordsmanship, wasn't it you?"

"It's me." Xu Chi didn't deny it.

Zhou Qi: "Then why did you run?"

"Didn't run away." It was rare for Xu Chi to have the patience to explain these trivial matters, "It was just disconnected."

The limit is here, and he will be annoyed when he goes deeper and talks about why the connection is dropped.

Fortunately, Zhou Qi didn't ask any further questions, and instead asked, "Who did you learn from when you defeated me?"

Phew—after holding back for a whole day, I finally asked it out!

He was a little nervous, and there was inexplicably more expectation in his eyes looking at Xu Chi.

——Is this person related to the general?They are all surnamed Xu.

——Even if the admiral died, he still wanted to know all the people or things that could be related to the other party, whatever.His memory is incomplete, and he can only be grateful and cherished in this way.

"forget."

But Xu Chi replied like this.

"Forgot?" Zhou Qi got stuck in an instant, and a huge loss swept over him. He still didn't give up, and asked like a code, "Then do you know what the soul of fencing is?"

Xu Chi looked sideways and frowned at him like a fool.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Xu Chi said coldly, "Mr. Zhou, if you want to discuss the topic of fencing in depth, you might as well talk about it after we go out."

"..."

After everyone finished eating one after another, Zhu Min was worried, and came to tell him: "I think Mrs. Cheng told you when you came. Chicun's rules are that you are not allowed to go out in the middle of the night..."

Just in the middle of speaking, Su interrupted her by knocking melon seeds: "Don't listen to that dead old woman's nonsense! There are still rules in a small place like Chicun? It's really ridiculous, and you are the only one who believes it!"

"It's better to believe in something than nothing." Min retorted weakly.

"I don't speak strangely. Madam is too worried." Zhu Xiao held Min's narrow shoulders and comforted him, "It's getting late, let's go back to the room to rest."

As he said, he closed Min's skirt, looked up for a while, and quickly lowered his head.

Zhou Qi caught this gesture of raising his head and followed his line of sight—there must be something important that he had overlooked. Xu Chi had also stared in that direction for a long time before.

I saw a row of wind lamps hanging on the corridor. The wind lamps are made of red tung oil paper, translucent, with beauties painted on the belly of the lamps, and sesame oil burning in the lamps.

Holding this lamp must have a tricky mood to look at it carefully, and Zhou Qi really found it tricky!

A scarlet silk was wrapped around the wind lamp at the far end.

Crimson...

Zhou Qi turned his head and saw Su Shi in scarlet clothes staring at Min Shi's back with resentful eyes. She spat out the melon seed shell in her mouth, snorted coldly, and slowly pulled out a charming smile .
