Qiao Qingqing took the oil-paper umbrella from Jun Muxi's hand, held it up awkwardly, and naturally bent her other leg to his waist.
Jun Muxi understood, and tightened his arms to tightly restrain the girl on his back.
The road up the mountainside was not easy to walk, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
But Qiao Qingqing felt that Jun Muxi's back was surprisingly stable, so stable that she fell asleep while holding an oil-paper umbrella in the pouring rain.
Jun Muxi focused on the road under his feet, and unconsciously, sticky liquid dripped from his neck.
He raised his hand and wiped it. The girl on his back was awakened and swallowed the saliva with a "suck" sound.
"Qiao Qingqing, your saliva is on my neck!"
Jun Muxi frowned in disgust, and put his big palm on the girl's knee, trying to wipe away the stickiness on his palm.
"Tell me a little! Give me a little!"
Qiao Qingqing smiled awkwardly, raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth.
When she raised her eyes, she saw a dark crowd gathering outside the courtyard not far away.
If you listen carefully, you will find that the villagers who just disappeared are talking about each other:
"God's eyes are open!"
"Evil will be punished. This kind of person does not deserve sympathy!"
"Oh my god, look what's in this room!"
Um?
Qiao Qingqing struggled, jumped off Jun Muxi's back, ran forward curiously, and pushed aside the crowd.
"Girl? Are you still alive?"
Someone recognized Qiao Qingqing, who was soaked in the rain.
"Yeah, I'm still alive, didn't you expect that?"
Qiao Qingqing responded with a smile, and took a look into the courtyard.
With just one glance, she turned her head involuntarily and vomited all the few cakes in her stomach!
I saw "Brother Latiao" who was still alive and kicking not long ago, but now he was scorched by lightning. However, Qiao Qingqing could still tell that his flesh and blood were mangled before he was struck to death by lightning.
"It looks like it has been bitten by a wild wolf, and all the internal organs are intact..."
"I think it was done by a wild cat. Look at the torture instruments in this room. It's such a sin. How could such a small cat be killed?"
Qiao Qingqing looked up following the sound. In the open door, there were all kinds of unimaginable sharp knives, iron wires, and steel rings with faint blood stains still left on them.
Someone out of curiosity opened the wine jar on the table and pulled out the body of a kitten. In the grass, the cow cat meowed "meow" and galloped into the house!
This pervert actually used the body of a kitten to make wine!
The cow cat let out a sigh of relief, and the villager's hands shook in fright.
In full view of everyone, the kitten that fell to the ground was caught in the mouth of the cow cat and disappeared in an instant.
Qiao Qingqing's eyes were scarlet red, she clenched her pink fists tightly, and was speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until Jun Muxi stepped forward and patted her back gently that her thoughts returned.
At this moment, someone in the crowd whispered:
"Although he killed countless wild cats, he was still an animal after all. It is a pity to die so tragically. I'm afraid the ladies and aunts in Kyoto will be sad for a long time when they learn this news."
This excusing word successfully ignited Qiao Qingqing's anger!
With a stern look on her face, she grabbed the villager who was speaking in the crowd and raised her voice:
"Killing, not cruelty, don't you know this truth?"
The crowd was shocked by this sudden question. Everyone stopped talking and stared at the thin girl.
"For this pervert, even if he died ten thousand times, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger. God has opened his eyes now, otherwise he would have killed livestock today and children tomorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
After a long time, Qiao Qingqing said, "You can bury these cats with me."
After everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.
After everything was dealt with, someone pointed at the body of "Brother La Tiao" and asked, "How... should he deal with it?"
Qiao Qingqing clapped her palms without raising her eyelids.
"The evildoers will be rewarded, so leave them alone!"
The leader of the villagers also nodded angrily and ushered everyone out of the courtyard, leaving the charred corpse exposed in the wilderness with no one paying attention.
After all the hard work, it was already midnight, the rain was still falling heavily, and Qiao Qingqing was already soaked to the skin.
"Girl, do you want to go to the humble house with this young man to change clothes?" The leader of the villagers saw Jun Muxi's solemn expression, and his voice was unconsciously trembling.
Qiao Qingqing shook her head, "We have other things to do, so I won't bother you. You can go back and be careful on the way."
After seeing off the villagers, the two of them continued walking to the top of the mountain.
Jun Muxi looked at the sad girl, and for the first time he took the initiative to say comforting words:
"Are you tired? I am carrying you on my back?"
The tip of Qiao Qingqing's nose felt sour, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Okay!"
She wiped her nose with her sleeve, twisted her wet skirt, and sneezed uncontrollably.
Jun Muxi chuckled and slowly squatted down in front of her.
"The rain won't stop for a while, and it won't go down the mountain tomorrow. When we get back to the room later, I'll order someone to make you a bowl of ginger soup."
Qiao Qingqing lay on Jun Muxi's back, shivering constantly. In a daze, she heard the system say:
[Congratulations to the host, you have passed the test. Get ready, we are about to enter the PK1 session. 】
"Past? Thank God, this is the only thing that can make me happy so far..."
After saying this, Qiao Qingqing fell into a slumber, so much so that she didn't hear the system's explanation of why she passed the water test and what she should pay attention to next.
She didn't remember how she returned to the bedroom, but when she woke up, it was already bright, and her aunt beside her, with swollen eyes, was staying by the bed.
"Why is it so noisy?"
Qiao Qingqing stroked her forehead and wanted to sit up.
"Hey, my little ancestor, lie down quickly!"
Seeing this, her aunt pressed Qiao Qingqing down without any explanation, picked up the bitter medicine soup beside the bed, and poured it into her mouth to drink.
After doing all this, my aunt smiled happily and said, "The prince is here, guess who else he brought?"
"Who can he bring?"
Qiao Qingqing waved her hands indifferently and looked at the pouring rain outside the window with a tired look on her face.
"The richest man in Kyoto, the grandfather of your fourth sister, Qian Wansan!"
The aunt smiled mysteriously, "It rained so heavily. The prince said that he was afraid of bandits, so he led many soldiers to surround the top of the mountain. He also said that he invited Qian Wansan to ask why his Qian family
He provided all the incense and food for the climbing party, but only left his fiancée hungry all night!"
The tiredness on Qiao Qingqing's face was instantly wiped away!
Thinking of Jun Muxi once saying that he would make the decision for her during the return trip, Qiao Qingqing fidgeted, stirred up the brocade quilt with her hands, and whispered:
"Really? I didn't expect him to be quite protective..."
The aunt curled her lips and smiled, "My girl's life is better."
"What nonsense are you telling the truth!"
Qiao Qingqing patted her aunt on the shoulder, pretending to be shy.
"Girl, do you want to get up and take a walk?" My aunt stroked Qiao Qingqing's dark hair dotingly.
"Of course," Qiao Qingqing agreed briskly, "Let's go meet the richest man in Kyoto for a while!"
