After the results were released, Cao Xi and Qin Zhao felt relieved and could spend a few days in Fucheng with peace of mind.
They wandered around the streets and alleys of Fucheng, eating local snacks and buying local souvenirs. It truly realizes the concept that tourism is consumption.
If there is anything different today, it would be the clay sculpture stall of an old man. The old man's art of pinching people is simply superb, and he can accurately control the subtle expressions on his face.
Cao Xi has never been able to resist such a great god. She stared at the old man's hands like an idiot and almost knelt down to worship him.
Cao Xi asked the old man to make two pairs of clay dolls according to the appearance of himself and Qin Zhao, and the small figures came to life.
Cao Xi: "Put one pair in your room and one pair in my room."
She originally planned to have one for each of them, but they were so delicate and cute that she didn't want to separate them.
Qin Zhao's eyes were fond of "Okay"
Back in the house, Cao Xi actually put the clay doll on the bedside and giggled at it from time to time.
Out of respect for the craftsmen, Cao Xi and Qin Zhao went there again the next day, this time to pinch all the friends in the Tutu Temple.
Cao Xi narrated, the old man pinched it, it was exactly the same, very similar in spirit.
At first, Qin Zhao thought she was going to give one to each person, but she didn't know that these were all for Li Feng, and her heart was filled with pantothenic acid.
Qin Zhao endured the sour feeling and said softly, "Are you going to squeeze it all?"
Cao Xi suddenly had an idea and hurriedly said to the old man, "There is no need to make my little statue."
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao held back his laughter, secretly took Cao Xi's hand, and said to the old man, "I don't need to do anything."
Cao Xi drew circles on Qin Zhao's palm with his fingers, wrinkled his nose and sniffed "sour"
Qin Zhao's little thoughts were discovered, his face was hot, his eyes were wandering but he didn't look at Cao Xi.
With his handsome face and shy state, Cao Xi couldn't help but want to take action. There were people coming and going on the street, and he couldn't control his thoughts, so he could only take advantage verbally.
"Want to hear a story tonight?"
Qin Zhao still didn't understand this familiar look and frivolous tone, so he glared at Cao Xi fiercely.
"listen"
Phew, Cao Xi couldn't hold it back and secretly leaned towards Qin Zhao.
Feeling each other's body temperature, Qin Zhao's face turned red and hot. Even though he knew it was unreasonable, he silently moved half a step towards Cao Xi.
............................
Cao Xi didn't favor one over the other. She prepared gifts for everyone in the Earth Temple and played around for a few days before getting up and returning to Qizhou City.
Qi Qige did not go with them because he had to stay in Fucheng for a while longer due to business reasons.
Before leaving, Qi Qige mysteriously pulled Qin Zhao aside.
Qi Qige looked around cautiously and took out a book from her sleeve, "Take it, go back and learn more."
"what book?"
Qin Zhao took it and was about to look through it, but Qi Qige stopped him.
Qi Qi was so mean, she took the book and stuffed it into Qin Zhao's sleeve, "Look at it secretly at night, remember to hide it."
Qin Zhao suddenly understood and reached out to pull the book out, but Qi Qige held his hand down.
"Aren't you stupid? Take it, don't let that girl take advantage of her." After saying that, he glanced at Cao Xi with a vague look in his eyes.
It was so mysterious that Cao Xi felt itchy when he saw it from a distance, wondering what they were plotting.
On the way back, Cao Xi couldn't help but ask: "What did Qi Qige tell you, and you still have to carry me behind your back?"
Qin Zhao's ears turned red when asked, and he hesitated for a long time, "Let me seize the opportunity."
After saying that, his whole face turned red and his eyes were wandering around, but he didn't dare to look into Cao Xi's eyes.
Cao Xi thought to himself, if you weren't so red in the face, I would have believed your lies. Qi Qige has been in the market all year round, what good tricks can you give him.
Qin Zhao tried to calm down and looked at Cao Xi with affection in his eyes: "Cao Xi, let's get married when we get back."
The sudden proposal caught Cao Xi off guard. When Qin Zhao saw her staring at him without giving a reply, the flush on his face slowly faded. He never thought that Cao Xi would disagree with marrying him.
When Cao Xi woke up, Qin Zhao was pale and looked at her anxiously, his eyes seeming to tell a thousand words.
Qin Zhao was very sensitive, so he was probably frightened if he didn't get a timely reply from her. Cao Xi reached out and touched his face, looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Okay, we will get married when we get back."
Suddenly happy and sad, Qin Zhao found that his back was soaked with sweat.
He suddenly pulled Cao Xi into his arms, "Cao Xi, we live and die in the same hole."
Cao Xi was so tight that she couldn't breathe. She slapped Qin Zhao on the back and said, "What are you talking about?"
He gently stroked the beaten area again, "If you don't leave, I won't abandon you."
Qin Zhao hugs his whole world tightly. I don’t want to go down with anyone except you.
The marriage between the two was settled in this way. Whenever they went back to the city, they would stay for a while to go shopping and see the surrounding attractions. It was warm and comfortable.
Today was like usual. They put their luggage at the inn and went out for a stroll side by side. They planned to buy some souvenirs to take back. But before they walked far, they saw a group of people surrounding the street.
Cao Xi walked forward curiously and saw a girl kneeling on the ground, with a dead man covered with a white cloth lying next to her. It seemed like she had seen this scene before.
The girl's voice was full of tears and she couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, so she squeezed forward with Qin Zhao, and what came into view was the sign that said, "Sell your body to bury your father."
She remembered that it had been so many days since this girl had buried her father. If only the dead body would have rotted and stink long ago.
The girl was also a sharp-eyed man. When she saw the majestic, handsome, and unusually dressed man in front of her, she pounced on him.
She hugged the man's leg tightly and cried, "Master, please help me buy a coffin. I'm willing to give you my life." As he said this, he leaned forward and rubbed against the man's leg.
The young master was none other than Qin Zhao, who was brought to watch the excitement. The incident happened so suddenly that neither Qin Zhao nor Cao Xi could react, and she succeeded.
Qin Zhao's body trembled when she rubbed him, as if there were maggots crawling on him. Qin Zhao threw his legs hard, but the girl's hug was so tight that he didn't loosen at all.
Qin Zhao's face turned cold, and his words were like ice, "If you don't let go, I will block it."
As he spoke, he pulled out a short knife from his waist and chopped off the girl's arm. The frightened girl quickly let go and backed away, looking at Qin Zhao with horror on her face. Just now, the young man was like a spring breeze, but now he was like a ghost from hell, gloomy. horrible.
Cao Xi also didn't expect that this girl could really go all out and throw herself into her arms in public. Cao Xi didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but this one offended her.
Cao Xi pulled the girl's hair, pulled her out of the crowd and walked towards the Yamen.
The girl had never seen this posture before. She held Cao Xi's arm and cried for mercy, "What are you doing? Let me go."
People watching the fun all around accused Cao Xi, "My little lady has such a bad temper, she won't hit anyone if she doesn't help."
"Isn't that right? She looks like a taboo wife at first glance. Whoever marries her will be unlucky."
"Shut up, you're talking dirty words, if I'm accusing you of spreading rumors and causing trouble"
Qin Zhao's eyes were stern, and the dagger in his hand pierced the leg of the corpse.
"Ah" screamed, and the corpse on the ground suddenly sat up, causing the people around to scream in shock.
"Fake corpse"
Qin Zhao grabbed the body that was trying to escape, pulled it up with force, and followed Cao Xi to the Yamen together.
At this time, people around him suddenly realized that this was not a misfortune, but a liar.
Because Qin Zhao was a judge and had meritorious service in reporting, he was personally received by the county magistrate. He was also specially rewarded with silver. Not only did he express his bad temper but also received the reward, Cao Xi left the Yamen happily.
Cao Xi said seriously to Qin Zhao, "You performed well today. You will continue to do so in the future. You must protect yourself when you go out and don't let others take advantage of you."
Qin Zhao held back his laughter: "You are the only one who can take advantage of me."
Cao Xi:......
In the evening, Qin Zhao burned the clothes he wore that day and took a shower three times. His legs were rubbed until they were red, and he yelled for Cao Xi to touch his legs before he gave up.
Cao Xi:............
