Chapter 005: An Old Friend Comes From Afar
At noon, in Sikun Mountain, Jiuxiao was collecting herbs in the mountains. When he was about to go down the mountain, his dog Nangua suddenly barked at a bush.
Jiuxiao wanted to call Pumpkin back. He guessed what animal was hiding there, and the noise it made made Pumpkin uneasy.
Unexpectedly, a young girl suddenly jumped out from the bushes.
Her blouse had been torn in several places, but luckily she was still wearing clothes underneath.
The girl had leaves on her head and some dirt on her face. Her eyes lit up instantly when she saw Jiuxiao's clothes.
Then she leaped towards Jiuxiao at an extremely fast speed, waving her hands and shouting, "Master, Master, I, Chen Jiaer, finally found you!"
That kind of joy cannot be concealed.
Her tone and actions actually made Jiuxiao believe that she was really her master.
Unfortunately, he only has one disciple in this life, Zengyue, who is his granddaughter.
Jiu Xiao didn't want to pay attention to her, but the girl grabbed his sleeve at some point. Jiu Xiao had no choice but to speak: "Little girl, I'm not your master. This is a desolate mountain. I will take you down the mountain, and then you can go home by yourself."
Chen Jiaer shook his head and puffed his cheeks, saying, "Humph, I spent three days and two nights searching for you in the mountains, and you want me to leave?"
Jiu Xiao was helpless: "But I don't know you, I'm really not your master."
Oh, it turned out that she forgot to introduce herself. Chen Jiaer scratched her head and introduced herself to Jiuxiao a little embarrassedly: "Hello, Master, I am Chen Jiaer, and I am Sister Zengyue's little follower."
Jiuxiao heard Zengyue's name.
But this girl looks younger than Zengyue. If she is Zengyue's follower, she should come back with her.
How is it possible to search in the mountains by yourself?
Besides, Zengyue will be home before sunset, so this girl won’t think twice before lying.
Jiuxiao didn't believe it.
Chen Jiaer was anxious and said quickly: "I really know Sister Zengyue."
Then Chen Jiaer described Zengyue's appearance, and Jiuxiao was sure that she really knew Zengyue.
But Jiuxiao still had doubts, so he asked her: "Where did you meet Zengyue, where did Zengyue go to college, what major did she study, and what is her cell phone number?"
Since he is a follower, he must be very familiar with these things about Zeng Yue.
Chen Jiaer felt terrible in his heart.
They no longer use mobile phones in the end times.
I don't study anymore.
I only know that Zengyue is studying at Nanyuan University, but what major is he studying?
Sister Zengyue never said that!
Chen Jiaer was so anxious that she couldn't answer.
Cry~~~
Seeing that she was speechless, Jiuxiao called Nangua back and prepared to go down the mountain.
As a result, Pumpkin ran to Chen Jiaer, sniffed her, and then stuck to her affectionately.
Jiuxiao was surprised.
Pumpkin is very smart.
Even the villagers in Sikunshan who encountered it every day found it difficult to approach it, but a strange girl easily gained its trust.
Jiuxiao decided to take her down the mountain.
The girl was a little unhappy on the way.
I've been secretly watching him.
I was afraid that I would have a bad impression of her.
Chen Jiaer, who was following behind with a huge backpack on his back, had muttered it a thousand times.
The boss’s master is also a very smart person.
She couldn't be fooled.
How should I explain my relationship with Zengyue? Should I confess everything?
But it seems that Zengyue hasn't told her master yet, so she said it was inappropriate.
The master is the person that Sister Zengyue respects the most and the person that she cares about the most. These things should be said by Zengyue herself.
Along the way, Chen Jiaer answered whatever Jiuxiao asked, except for keeping silent about how she knew Zengyue. She even told Jiuxiao her father's name.
Jiuxiao was even more confused.
Is this girl not on guard, or is she defenseless against him?
After trying many times and getting no answer, Jiu Xiao changed the subject: "How did you spend the night in the mountains?"
There are still some wild animals in this mountain. This girl looks to be less than 20 years old, with delicate skin. How can she protect herself when sleeping in the wild?
Chen Jiaer became excited again when talking about this: "Yes, Master, I stayed in this mountain for two nights, both times I stayed in the trees, and I could fall asleep in any branch."
As for snakes and poisonous insects, they are the only ones afraid of her.
Jiuxiao was surprised.
Looking at her steps, they didn't seem to be properly practiced. Could he have made a mistake?
Chen Jiaer knew the doubts in Jiuxiao's heart, but she didn't answer. She just grinned and gave Jiuxiao a bright smile.
How to say it?
Say you have super powers?
Or did Songyue give her special training so that she knows how to fight, the kind where every punch hits the flesh?
It’s hard to say.
Because it's not clear.
Chen Jiaer felt very depressed.
When she saw Zengyue, she asked Zengyue to tell the master that she didn't want to be questioned by the master.
Old ginger is really spicy!
The speed of going down the mountain is very fast.
Jiuxiao brought Chen Jiaer home.
Chen Jiaer didn't look around, but still took in some of the plants in the yard.
Ever since she followed Zengyue, she has developed the same personality as Zengyue.
On the surface, there was no sign of any inner fluctuations, even though her joy had reached its peak at that moment.
This must be Zengyue’s home.
She had seen a photo that Zengyue treasured, and the photo showed this courtyard.
The well and grape trellis in the photo were exactly the same as what she saw before her.
The joy on Chen Jiaer's face was growing bigger and bigger, and he couldn't hide it anymore.
She whispered, "I finally found you, Sister Zengyue."
Jiuxiao put the herbs away and saw Chen Jiaer still in a daze in the yard. The sun was scorching hot and he couldn't bear to see her exposed to the sun, so he invited her into the house to sit down.
Chen Jiaer put her big backpack on the eaves, dusted herself off and went into the house.
Jiuxiao poured a cup of tea: "Drink it."
Chen Jiaer took it respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master." Then he drank it all in one gulp.
Jiuxiao pushed the wild fruit he had just picked from the mountain in front of Chen Jiaer and said, "Eat it. It's a rare delicacy."
"Okay, thank you, Master." Chen Jiaer smiled with his eyes curved.
There was a long silence afterwards.
Jiuxiao knew that this girl would definitely not leave and he couldn't drive her away even if he tried.
Furthermore, he was worried that the girl had other intentions, so he decided to stay here and observe.
Jiuxiao was sleepy and wanted to rest, but Chen Jiaer was so quiet that he seemed as if he didn't exist.
When Jiuxiao woke up from his nap, he noticed a fragrance coming from the kitchen.
Chen Jiaer actually took the initiative to make lunch, for two people.
"Master, I saw some food in the kitchen, so I cooked it on my own initiative. You can eat it after washing your hands." Chen Jiaer's sweet voice sounded.
Jiuxiao felt warm in his heart. This girl seemed very sincere and should not have any ill will towards Zengyue.
After lunch, Chen Jiaer cleaned the first floor inside and out.
She never thought about what would happen if the Zengyue she knew didn't come back. The honest girl thought, if she could come back, how could her sister Zengyue not have the same opportunity?
If she really hasn't come back yet, then let's get to know her again.
She will try every possible means to make Sister Zengyue believe that the end of the world is coming, and she will go through the end of the world with her again!
