It was evening, everyone said goodbye, and Taohua Village gradually returned to its former peace.
On the carriage ride home, the two little girls' stomachs seemed to be two small black holes, which could actually hold chocolate, pistachios, amber walnuts, potato chips and orange juice.
The others didn't speak, they just winked at each other, and then couldn't help but steal a glance at Ao Qi sitting aside.
And what about Ao Qi?
Her hair was messy, her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and her lips were trembling.
If everyone hadn't been at the scene just now and knew what happened, they would probably have thought that Lu Zheng was overpowering Ao Qi.
"Ao Qi, Brother Lu's chess skills are very high. I can't beat him, so it's okay." Yan Hongxia advised from the side.
Du Yueyao and Wang Xiaowan couldn't help laughing.
Just now Ao Qi was defeated again and again. Yan Hongxia couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to avenge Ao Qi. Then she lost even faster and ran away in despair.
Mrs. Heshen also wanted to give face to her old master Zhileng Zhileng, but her chess skills were much better than Yan Hongxia's, so she just glanced at her and didn't dare to leave.
Then Ao Qi became like this. If it weren't for Yan Hongxia's support, she almost didn't get on the carriage just now.
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but pinch Lu Zheng gently and whispered, "You don't know how to be gentler."
Lu Zheng was helpless, "She asked me to go all out. She said she wanted to win me openly, and she also showed the dignity of the dragon clan. What do you think I can do? Of course I will satisfy her ruthlessly."
"But……"
Liu Qingyan looked at Ao Qi and asked, "What should we do now?"
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you a miracle doctor? You can easily catch this kind of soullessness." Lu Zheng said indifferently.
"I'm telling you something serious!"
"Okay, okay!"
Lu Zheng hurriedly comforted Liu Qingyan, and then said to Ao Qi, "If you lose at Go, you lose. How can we compete with others?"
Ao Qi's eyes moved.
Lu Zheng said sincerely, "Although you lose in discussions and chess, it doesn't mean that I am strong in other aspects."
Ao Qiyin bit her teeth, and the other women also felt toothache.
So Yan Hongxia immediately asked, "What is the comparison?"
Lu Zheng blinked. He had added some skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It would be difficult for Ao Qi to win. From his modern perspective, the only talents left suitable for girls were...
"Singing, for example?"
Lu Zheng really can't sing. He was tone-deaf when he was in college. He has never improved in this area since then. He should not be able to compare with professionals.
Ao Qi was speechless. It is the duty of strangers to learn how to fight. Go is also an elegant thing. You want me to compete with you in singing?
What's the point of winning? Go to a brothel to entertain people with sex? Then I might as well compete with you in having children, wouldn’t I win for sure?
"Forget it, let's not compete." Ao Qi waved her hand and refused, her mood waning.
Originally, I wanted to regain some face by playing chess, but not only did I not get it back, but I was also hit by doubts about my life. There is no other way to compare, and any comparison is to forcefully restore respect. I am a dignified princess of the Dragon Clan, and I am not so worthless.
Glancing sideways at Ao Qian, who was eating chocolate and snickering with Liu Qingquan, Ao Qi couldn't help but curl her lips, feeling quite unhappy that her elbows were turned outwards, and a certain idea in her heart became more determined.
With Lu Zheng making jokes and the two little girls enlivening the atmosphere, Ao Qi also recovered. As soon as she straightened her figure, a silver stream of light flashed from her body. The next moment, she returned to her heroic appearance and cold expression. Princess of the Dragon Clan.
Seeing Ao Qi's recovery, Yan Hongxia was also very happy and hurriedly peeled off a chocolate and gave it to her.
Ao Qi was not polite, took it and ate it, and then snatched another peeled chocolate from Ao Qian's hand.
Ao Qian:? ? ?
…
Three more days later, Ao Qi and Yan Hongxia had two more discussions with Lu Zheng, and two more visits to Yuling Garden with Liu Qingyan. They said goodbye at lunch on this day.
Yan Hongxia said, "It's been three years since we came out, and we have to go back to the mountain quickly to avoid the teacher's worries. We'll leave tomorrow."
Liu Qingyan nodded and went back to the mountain to see her elders to report her safety. Of course, she couldn't stop this, but she still said reluctantly, "When you go down the mountain again, remember to come and see us again."
Yan Hongxia agreed, "That's natural."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Let me prepare some snacks for you. What do you want to eat?"
Yan Hongxia immediately said, "Chocolate!"
"No problem!" Lu Zheng agreed and looked at Ao Qi, "Where's Miss Ao?"
"If it's not troublesome, just prepare one for me that's the same as Hongxia's."
"No trouble, it's not a big deal!" Lu Zheng snapped his fingers and went to the supermarket.
At this moment, Wang Xiaowan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Senior brother!"
"Here you are, come in." Lu Zheng responded and frowned.
"Xiaowan's voice is wrong." Liu Qingyan said immediately.
The next moment, Wang Xiaowan hurriedly walked around the screen wall and appeared in front of several people with a solemn expression.
"Sister Xiaowan, what's going on?" Du Yueyao hurriedly stood up and came over.
Liu Qingyan asked, "The day before yesterday, you said that you and Mr. Wang were going back to your hometown to repair the ancestral tombs, but what happened?"
Lu Zheng asked, "Didn't you kill that zombie last time? Didn't you finish killing it last time and another one popped out?"
Yan Hongxia and Ao Qi also looked at Wang Xiaowan.
Wang Xiaowan nodded, shook her head again, and was a little surprised, "I found something wrong, but I wasn't sure, so I came back and wanted to go and have a look with my senior brother."
Du Yueyao's eyes lit up and she hurriedly pulled Wang Xiaowan to sit down, "What's going on? Sister Xiaowan, please tell me carefully?"
Wang Xiaowan sat down and said, "I accompanied my father back to my hometown, Laowang Village, the day before yesterday. Yesterday I hired people in the town to go up the mountain to repair the ancestral tombs."
Du Yueyao asked, "Something happened?"
Wang Xiaowan shook her head, "Nothing happened, it was repaired smoothly."
Du Yueyao blinked, looking confused.
"but……"
Wang Xiaowan frowned, "I heard from the people who helped repair the ancestral tombs that it has become increasingly difficult to bury and dig graves on this hilltop recently."
"Ah?" Du Yueyao didn't know why.
However, Yan Hongxia's eyes lit up, "The land has become hard?"
Wang Xiaowan nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, according to them, even if it rains, unless you dig in the rain, it will become extremely hard the next day, just like digging in frozen soil in winter."
"Are there any other signs?" Yan Hongxia continued to ask, "For example, plants are withering, animals are dying? Is someone missing?"
Wang Xiaowan shook her head, "No one is missing, otherwise they will report it to the official. The plants... seem to be sparser compared to last year. I really didn't notice."
After a pause, Wang Xiaowan said, "It's mainly because I sensed it and didn't sense demonic or corpse energy, but the hardening of the ground was obviously weird, so I came to see my senior brother and wanted to ask him to take a look. .”
"Senior brother?" Wang Xiaowan looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng nodded, "Of course, no problem."
Du Yueyao raised her hands excitedly on the side and said repeatedly, "I'll go too, I'll go too!"
Yan Hongxia laughed and said, "How can we do justice without Yan Hongxia?" So she also stood up and said, "Then let's go together."
Everyone looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and called Aunt Liu to come in and clean up the dishes. Then Lu Zheng waved, and they took off into the sky, flying straight into the sky.
