Luo Bing tightly covered her pretty red and hot face with her hands, feeling so embarrassed that she could hardly breathe. When she didn't feel Xue Chen speak again for a long time, she slowly let go of her hands.
But as soon as she took her hand away, she saw Xue Chen holding his head with his arms, leaning sideways and looking at her with a smile. The distance between their faces was at most ten centimeters. She was surprised to find that she couldn't see Xue Chen clearly.
Chen's mouth, nose and ears were covered, but his eyes could be clearly seen, as if the brilliance of those eyes could not be blocked even by the night.
She was about to ask in surprise, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was blocked by another mouth. Suddenly her heart was like a small boat drifting on the sea, rising to the top of the waves, and there was a sound in her nose.
There was a soft moan that seemed to have been expected for a long time, and two arms subconsciously stretched out to wrap around...
Outside the tent, the cold night wind howled, and everything was completely silent, but neither of the two people inside the tent felt a chill. On the contrary, they felt better than June Peach Blossom Ao.
When the eastern sky just turned a touch of light blue, and there was still nearly an hour before sunrise, people emerged from the hundreds of tents set up on the top of the mountain from time to time, not wanting to miss the most famous view of Yunxia Mountain.
Wang Wu and Zhao Yanyan emerged from the tent sleepily and saw Xue Chen standing on the edge of the rock platform, looking at the eastern sky.
"Brother Xue, you got up quite early." Wang Wu came over and said with a smile.
"I just got up." Xue Chen turned around and said.
Luo Bing came out of the tent and happened to see Zhao Yanyan. When she thought of the weeping voice she heard last night, her pretty face looked slightly unnatural.
But Zhao Yanyan looked calm, walked over with a smile, leaned into Luo Bing's ear and asked sweetly: "Xiao Bing, how did you sleep last night?"
"Oh, it's okay." Luo Bing smoothed the hair on his temples and tucked it behind his ears, then whispered back.
"Haha, seeing how good your face is, I know you must have slept well." Zhao Yanyan said with a sweet smile with a double entendre.
Luo Bing touched his cheek, then looked at Zhao Yanyan who was teasing him, snorted softly, raised the corners of his lips and retorted: "Sister Yan, what is friction heat?"
Zhao Yanyan opened her mouth. Even though she had an open temperament, she immediately blushed.
When the eastern sky gradually turned from light cyan to light white, and then dyed with a faint golden glow, all the tourists who had slept in the tents on the top of the mountain stood up straight and looked at the east, looking expectantly.
The four of them, Xue Chen, stood directly on the rock platform and watched, with an even better view.
When the orange-yellow sun rises from the ground in anticipation, golden brilliance fills the sky and the earth in an instant, and the light clouds and mist surrounding the top of Yunxia Mountain are also reflected into golden masses, turning into
It is extremely beautiful, like flowing golden liquid, it is so beautiful that it is also the most famous landscape of Yunxia Mountain.
Suddenly there were cheers on the top of the mountain, everyone was glad that it was a sunny day and the trip was not in vain!
Xue Chen was also squinting at the rising sun and the golden clouds surrounding the mountain top, but suddenly, his expression changed and he suddenly lowered his head to look at his chest.
Without caring about anything else, he immediately took out the silver skull he wore on his chest, opened the back cover, and looked at the ancient jade hidden inside. He saw a hint of purple seeping into the ancient jade, and
What shocked his heart even more was that there was inexplicably a few extra strands of spiritual energy in the ancient jade!
"this……"
Xue Chen's eyes flashed with incredible light.
Luo Bing looked at the beautiful scenery that could never be seen in the city at this moment and let out a long sigh of contentment. His cheeks were stained with a bright blush due to excitement and the cold wind. He turned his head to look at Xue Chen beside him. It happened that
I saw Xue Chen stuffing a silver pendant back.
“The scenery just now was so beautiful.”
Xue Chen nodded when he heard the sound, looked towards the sky, squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "Yes, it is indeed very beautiful. It is worth the trip."
After staying on the top of the mountain for more than two hours, Guide Gao called everyone together, counted the number of people, and then prepared to go down the mountain.
Compared with going up the mountain, it was much easier to go down the mountain, and there was constant laughter along the way.
The squirrel Xiao Huang still has no intention of returning to the mountains and forests, and is still jumping happily between Xue Chen and Luo Bing. He doesn't even look like he has been hurt or depressed, and his two round little eyes are full of energy.
With a burst of cleverness.
This made the people who were traveling with him marvel and wonder, how could a wild little squirrel be tamed and still want to follow it back?
After going down the mountain, the fat woman selling cotton clothes shouted at the top of her lungs to recycle the cotton clothes for fifty yuan a piece. Although everyone was unhappy, they all held their noses and sold them.
After a three-hour drive, the bus returned to Haicheng City and stopped at the side of People's Square. People on the bus got off the bus and waved goodbye.
Luo Bing wanted to say something to Xue Chen after getting off the car. Those words had been brewing all the way, but when she saw that Xue Chen seemed a little anxious, she asked softly: "Xue Chen, are you in a hurry?"
Xue Chen nodded. He was indeed a little anxious. He was eager to go back and study the ancient jade carefully to find out what happened in the early morning accident.
Luo Bing breathed a sigh of relief and had no choice but to put the words she wanted to say but couldn't say in her heart for the time being. She waved her hands and got into a taxi on the roadside.
But just as she was about to close the taxi door, the little squirrel that was lying obediently on her shoulder suddenly jumped to the ground and climbed up Xue Chen's shoulder like a shadow along her pants.
Luo Bing shouted: "Xiao Huang!"
Xue Chen turned to look at the little squirrel crawling back onto him, laughed, grabbed it with his hand, and handed it back to Luo Bing's hand. At the same time, he smiled and shouted softly: "Don't follow me."
But as soon as he let go, the little squirrel jumped out of Luo Bing's hand and climbed back onto him.
After going back and forth like this for three times, Luo Bing bit her lip and looked at the little squirrel that didn't follow her. She felt a little aggrieved, thinking that she was really a little white-eyed wolf. She had taken care of him all the way, feeding and watering him, and now he didn't follow her.
She leaves.
Xue Chen was also helpless. He looked at the little squirrel that wanted to make a nest on his shoulder, but there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, Luo Bing's eyes lit up slightly, and he said softly: "Since it wants to follow you, you can take it back, but you must take good care of it. Remember to feed and water it."
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded, that was all he could do.
"Be sure to take good care of it. I will go see...Xiao Huang's when I have time." Luo Bing's cheeks turned slightly red. She looked at Xue Chen, closed the door, and told the driver to start.
Xue Chen watched the taxi drive away, then stopped a taxi and turned back.
When he returned to Jinguancheng's residence, Xue Chen casually put the squirrel Xiao Huang aside and let it jump around. He had no energy to deal with it. He hurriedly took off the pendant and held the hidden ancient jade in his hand.
in hand.
The light in his eyes flashed, and Xue Chen was shocked, secretly saying: "Sure enough, I didn't feel wrong!"
Now the spiritual energy content in the ancient jade has reached 11%, which is 1% more than the last time he checked. It must have been inexplicably absorbed when he watched the golden crow's first golden glow burning through the clouds this morning.
Although one percent sounds like a small amount, it is already a lot for Xue Chen. Maybe an antique worth four to five million contains only this amount of spiritual energy. What's more, this one percent is still made out of thin air.
It didn't cost him any energy.
What he wanted to figure out now was how this one percent of spiritual energy was obtained. It couldn't appear out of thin air. There must be a reason. He realized that this might be a new way to obtain spiritual energy!
When Qi Yan came back from school and entered the living room, the first thing she noticed was the little squirrel squatting on the back of the sofa. She let out an exclamation of joy, startling Xue Chen who was taking a bath.
"Xue Chen, did you buy this snow squirrel?"
Xue Chen asked in surprise through a door: "Do you know what kind it is?"
"Of course I know. Snow squirrel, oh, it should be the North China subspecies of snow squirrel. Did you buy it at the market?" Qi Yan asked.
"I didn't buy it, I brought it down from the mountain. I wanted to give it away, but you shamelessly followed me back." Xue Chen dried himself, put on clothes and came out of the bathroom. He saw Qi Yan squatting
Beside the sofa, a hand was gently stroking the little squirrel.
Qi Yan turned around and asked unexpectedly: "Brought down from the mountain?"
"Yes, from Yunxia Mountain." Xue Chen sat aside and waved, "Xiao Huang."
The little squirrel jumped onto his lap.
Qi Yan wrinkled her delicate nose, as if she was dissatisfied with the name of the little squirrel: "It's strange, since it is wild, why would it follow you back? It shouldn't be."
"It seems you know squirrels very well?" Xue Chen asked.
"Well, I raised one a few years ago. It was also in the snow. It stayed with me for three years, but then it fell ill and died." Qi Yan sighed slightly, sadness flashing in her eyes.
"Then you can raise this little guy." Xue Chen said. He thought Qi Yan would happily agree, but to his surprise, Qi Yan shook her head and refused.
"Xue Chen, I'm sorry, after Xueqiu died, I thought that I would never buy or raise another squirrel in the future." Qi Yan said in a low voice.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. This little guy is wild. He must be thick-skinned and should be easy to raise." Xue Chen said nonchalantly.
The next morning, Xue Chen got up at four o'clock. The sky was not yet bright. When he saw that it was about to get bright, he went downstairs and came to the empty small garden in Jinguancheng community. He stood facing the east and stood slightly.
Waiting with some anticipation.
"It's up!"
When the orange sun emerged from the ground, Xue Chen took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he once again felt a trace of breath being absorbed by the ancient jade in his arms! (To be continued)
