This time, after asking and answering questions, not only did she earn Xuan Jing, but she also got the news she had always wanted to know.
When she arrived at the ruined temple, she only saw strange gnawing marks on the ground.
Coupled with the strange blood zombie that appeared immediately, she preconceptionally thought that it was a wild zombie that had eaten the red branches, and even the blood-stained soil was not spared.
At the moment, it seems that this person named He Yuanqing should have taken away her red branches first, and then the remaining blood and mud were eaten by the wild zombie, and then turned into a bloody weird thing.
At least it means that her blood and red branches are not things that ordinary people can control. In the future, not only must the red branches be collected, but also one must protect herself and try not to bleed.
The two of them walked out of the medical center and walked outside the city. The sights they saw along the way made Jing Hexuan feel the peaceful atmosphere of the city up close.
It deserves to be called the "Taoyuan City".
"Why are your expressions so stiff?" Jing Hexuan took out a mysterious crystal and shook it.
Shi Lingyao stood beside a flowerbed on the roadside and said, "That's it."
Jing Hexuan had noticed this strange-looking plant a long time ago. When he saw it from a distance, he only thought it was red in clusters, which looked quite happy in the white snow.
When you look closely, it feels a bit weird, like a red tree branch, but the red inside the tree branch seems to be flowing and crystal clear.
"What's this?"
"Red branches," Shi Lingyao said nonchalantly and seriously, "it needs blood to grow, but it is slightly poisonous and will affect the muscles on the face after eating."
Jing Hexuan: "...then your whole city is like this?"
Shi Lingyao: "It tastes delicious and fragrant after being cooked, but it still fills your stomach. It's the end of the world, who is still picky about food?"
Jing Hexuan had nothing to say, but it was true that there were many people who didn't have enough to eat in the last days of winter. If they could feed themselves, having a stiff expression wouldn't seem to be a big problem.
It's just that he had a gut feeling that it wasn't that simple. If she lied, then there was no need for him to ask.
He changed the topic: "This city wall is built in a very stylish way."
The corner of her mouth moved: "That's ridiculous."
Jing Hexuan turned his head to look at her. Under the sunlight, her face was coated with a warm golden light. Her pale face was no longer so abrupt, and her delicate profile looked like a fairy walking out of a painting.
He was dazed for a moment and coughed: "Your wood element ability is so strong."
Shi Lingyao's eyes showed pride, but his tone was light: "I can still be stronger."
Jing Hexuan seemed to see an arrogant kitten showing off to him, and couldn't help but laugh: "I believe you will."
Shi Ling glanced at him sideways.
Jing Hexuan coughed lightly, controlled his expression, and lowered his voice a little: "I like your Taoyuan City very much, can I join you?"
If these words were heard by the three teammates waiting outside the city, they would probably scream and jump up.
But Shi Lingyao didn't know the weight of his words. Instead, he shook his head: "No, my city does not accept outsiders."
Jing Hexuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then how can I become your wife?"
Shi Lingyao: "..." It's weird, but I can't tell what's wrong.
Jing Hexuan continued: "You can make conditions, and I will definitely satisfy them."
Shi Lingyao: "You can't be satisfied with this."
Jing Hexuan followed closely: "How do you know I can't satisfy you if you don't tell me?"
Shi Lingyao was helpless. She didn't believe that anyone would be willing to become a zombie.
But she wanted to protect the secrets of Taoyuan City, so she insisted that Jing Hexuan could not join if he did not meet the conditions.
Jing Hexuan was not disappointed. He followed Shi Lingyao and walked around the neatly built inner city until it was time for lunch.
Returned home again.
Xu Qing and Shi Zeqi were preparing meals. They had received notifications from their daughter's thoughts and knew that the human being would stay at home for a meal at noon.
"Daughter-in-law, don't you think that person looks familiar?" Shi Zeqi asked as he put the food on the table.
In fact, he had been struggling for a while while cooking. He always felt that he had seen it before but couldn't remember it.
Xu Qing was uncharacteristically silent. After hearing Shi Zeqi's question, he snorted coldly, chopped the kitchen knife in his hand, and inserted it deeply into the chopping board.
Shi Zeqi shook his hand and almost dropped the spoon on the ground.
In these two short breaths, he had already recalled everything he had done in his life, and made sure that there was nothing that his wife didn't know about that she had not dealt with before he calmed down.
"You have read medical books for so many years in vain." Xu Qing sneered, "Not only does he look familiar, this guy can even recognize him when he transforms into Cinderella!"
Xu Qing's attitude and the feeling he was familiar with, a fragment flashed in his mind, his eyes widened, and he looked at his wife in surprise: "You, you mean that, that boy is..."
Xu Qing said coldly: "He still has a face to come to the door. He is really not afraid that I will tear him apart!"
Shi Zeqi was a little worried: "But Guabao no longer remembers that incident. If we are too harsh on him, Guabao will become suspicious."
Xu Qing picked up the kitchen knife again and chopped vegetables: "Of course I know, neither of us are allowed to show any flaws later. After this is over, you find a way to send the good boy away, and I will go out of the city with that boy."
Shi Zeqi: "Daughter-in-law, don't be impulsive. If there is too much noise, my dear baby will know about it even if he is not here!"
Xu Qing changed his usual careless personality and said with a calm expression and a cold tone: "I know."
Shi Zeqi was a little worried, it didn't seem like he had anything to worry about, but he couldn't say anything else. No one could change what his wife had decided to do.
What's more, when it comes to Guobao, it touches the back of the couple. They will never allow what happened back then to happen again!
…
When the two came back, all the food was on the table. The Shi family's parents warmly greeted them and came to eat quickly.
In order to prevent the possibility of infection, they also thoughtfully prepared serving chopsticks for their family members.
Jing Hexuan had been quietly observing the two elders during the meal. Their behavior was so natural, as if they were just good friends entertaining his daughter.
When Shi Lingyao went to serve his father a meal, Xu Qing's sharp eyes stared straight at Jing Hexuan, and their eyes collided.
Jing Hexuan felt relieved and felt a little headache at the same time.
Originally, he was worried that the Shi family's parents would not remember him. It was difficult for him to introduce himself, whether he wanted to conceal what happened that year or not.
Now that he remembered himself, he was relieved.
Just by looking at the attitudes of the two elders, you can tell that they have no intention of forgiving him at all. Let alone other thoughts, there is a long way to go just to get forgiveness!
After the meal, Shi Zeqi said that there was a slight problem with the internal design of the city wall, and Shi Lingyao needed to go over and have a detailed chat with Qu Bai and the others.
Shi Lingyao turned to look at Jing Hexuan.
Xu Qing stood up: "I'll take Mr. Jing back. It's getting late. It's a bit dangerous to stay outside all the time."
Shi Lingyao thought about it, so he didn't refuse.
Jing Hexuan: "..." He is about to face a violent storm and cannot show fear or resistance.
