Chapter 65 Shugao Girls’ High School 25
The other side.
Fu Mengru said very little today, and finished all the work with a gloomy face. Jiang Yuelu glanced at the time: "It's quite early, I'll take you to the Moon River Festival. You behaved well today, I'll buy you some candy."
Fu Mengru curled her lips: "I'm not a child. I don't like eating candy either."
Jiang Yuelu: "So what do you like to eat?"
Fu Mengru: "I'm not picky about food. I eat everything."
Jiang Yuelu glanced at her.
Fu Mengru: "What for?"
"I'm a little surprised." Jiang Yuelu said, "I heard from Xie Xiaoya that you are the only daughter of a large family and have been spoiled since childhood. I didn't expect you to be so easy to raise."
Fu Mengru said calmly: "You have broadened your horizons today. There are young ladies in this world who eat everything."
The two of them unknowingly walked to a crowded place. The frozen river was as red as clouds, and from a distance it looked like a sunset scene.
Jiang Yuelu glanced over and was surprised, "So many people." She had received a holiday notice before, and now it seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole school is mobilized.
It is said that a long time ago, this place was not covered by frost and snow, and the Moon River nurtured the tribes on both sides of the river. In order to express gratitude for the generosity of the river, people sent offerings, fireworks and lively voices every winter, which gave rise to the predecessor of the Moon River Festival.
Jiang Yuelu said with emotion: "It must have been many years since such a lively scene as today happened."
Fu Mengru said coldly: "It's just self-touching."
Jiang Yuelu: "Do you think so?"
Fu Mengru: "They want a good harvest next year and they want their dreams to come true. Aren't these the things they want? Today's wishes may be different from before, because years of suffering have made them remember and finally know how to make other wishes."
"But wishes may not always come true. The fields you work hard to cultivate and wait for the harvest may be cut off by natural disasters and floods. The children born to the wife you married as you wished will be one step closer to death on the day they are born."
The glowing firelight fell in front of her. Fu Mengru stretched out her hand and subconsciously caught the spark. "...You studied hard, worked a hundred times harder than others, but it was all in vain. Everything was already destined. The dream coming true was just a slightly better ending among your ten thousand tragic endings. God sent it to you, and you should be grateful."
Jiang Yuelu looked at her for a long while before saying, "You look very different today."
Fu Mengru paused and frowned, "Because I hate the Moon River Festival, I hate this day, and I hate these red fireworks!"
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "Okay, now this is the you I know."
Fu Mengru's eyebrows overflowed with a trace of murderous intent, "Don't force me to hit you."
"No problem. Hit me as much as you want, it's all easy." Jiang Yuelu agreed readily, "But wait until I finish speaking."
"say what?"
"Although you were absent-minded the whole day, at least you didn't lose your temper while working. It wasn't until the Moon River Festival that you suddenly became a powder keg." Jiang Yuelu asked, "What set you off? Was it the fireworks, or these people?"
He paused, "The way you looked at those students when you were standing on the hillside just now was filled with hatred."
Fu Mengru was a little surprised at first because he guessed her thoughts, but she became calmer and calmer after hearing the end, "Because they hindered our mission. We came here to capture Ji Hongcha, but now we have to help them escape."
"You know, I don't like people who beat around the bush. The same goes for missions. I like to go straight in and get to the enemy's lair."
Jiang Yuelu looked at her for a long time. "That's a good explanation, but it's more like an excuse."
"Excuse?" Fu Mengru laughed viciously, "Do I need to use excuses to someone who is weaker than me? You might as well just scold me."
Jiang Yuelu raised her hands. "Okay, I can't win the argument, I surrender."
The sound of their argument had already attracted the attention of several people not far away. Several girls from high school set up a table with some candies and picture books on it. Judging from the words written on the fluttering silk cloth next to it, this seemed to be a simple convenience store.
The girls giggled and greeted, "Teacher Lu Yue!"
The advantage of being a teacher is that students almost all recognize you, but you don’t recognize them. However, Jiang Yuelu has a photographic memory, and he quickly recognized that the three girls were students from the next class, "Are you selling things?"
"Yes! I hope the teacher will take care of our business."
"The goods are genuine and the prices are fair. Uh, what's the next one?"
"You even forgot the slogan! Didn't Luo Qingqing teach you according to what was written in the picture book?"
They were confined to the girls' high school and had little experience of the outside world. They had never even heard a shout and had to imitate with the help of a few picture books.
A girl said as she looked behind him. Jiang Yuelu turned around and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
She asked, "Did Mr. Lu Yue come here alone?"
Fu Mengru was rummaging through the things on the table and fell down when she heard this. "Hey, am I dead?"
The girl hurriedly said, "No, I saw you... I mean, isn't Mr. Lu Yue celebrating the festival with... Mr. Xia Yi?"
Jiang Yuelu thought, here they come again. Rumors are like fire in the wind, and when you kill one, there will be another. He shook his head, "No."
"Ah..." The girl's shoulders slumped.
Jiang Yuelu smiled and said, "You are too disappointed."
"It's fun to hang out with people you love during festivals. They will become precious memories in the future. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss them?" The chattering girl was hit by her companion, "What the hell!"
"Don't say these things to the teacher!!!"
"What's the matter? Today is a holiday. We are not teacher-student relationship, but only friends, right, Mr. Lu Yue?"
Jiang Yuelu smiled but said nothing. Her hands were still rummaging on the table, but her mind had already wandered away.
These children have very simple ideas. They think that festivals are a natural time to have fun, but they don't know that tonight is the final moment that will decide their fate.
There were countless stalls like theirs along the way. They finally didn't have to study for the exam today, so they used their moon energy to develop small shops, a misty haunted house, an archery team on the ice, a fishing house on the moon river, and used their imagination to create a small market in the snow forest that was like playing house.
The most ironic thing is that all of this is achieved through the power of the moon, but this power of the moon does not belong to them, and they don’t know it.
After searching for a long time, he finally found a bag of fruit candy on the table. Jiang Yuelu said, "I bought it. How do I pay?"
"It's free, it's just for fun."
Jiang Yuelu accepted it without hesitation. Fu Mengru snorted beside him, "How dare you take advantage of a student?"
"I'm very considerate because this is for you." Jiang Yuelu threw the candy to Fu Mengru, "If you don't like it, put it back. There are so many people here tonight, there will always be someone who likes it."
Fu Mengru looked at the candy in her palm, stunned for a few seconds, and then she clenched it tightly, "No, I won't. If you give it to me, it's mine." She caught up with Jiang Yuelu and walked with him. There were people on both sides of the road. They were laughing happily, unaware of what had happened, and had no idea what was going to happen next.
"I hate them because they are too stupid and don't know anything." Fu Mengru suddenly said.
Jiang Yuelu said: "You are sympathizing with them."
"I don't."
"Your scolding is actually a way of expressing your care, and your dislike is actually a way of expressing your love. Someone I know is the same, and you have to listen to what he says in reverse."
Fu Mengru remained silent.
Jiang Yuelu suddenly said out of nowhere, "It's great to have Xie Xiaoya and Xu Li."
"ah?"
"I can't imagine how bad your personality would become without them by your side." Jiang Yuelu asked, "You grew up together, I can see that."
Fu Mengru seemed to recall the time she had spent with them on the journey, and curled her lips without refutation, "If you mean that they are very good at annoying people, then I fully agree with you."
Jiang Yuelu suddenly asked: "Did you hear that?"
Fu Mengru was puzzled: "Huh? What nonsense have you been talking about for so long?"
But suddenly a person jumped out from behind, yelling and hugging her in his arms. Xie Xiaoya said excitedly: "Meng Ru Meng Ru, it turns out that you like me and Xu Li so much, I am so happy ah ah ah ah!"
Fu Mengru said stiffly: "Let me go!"
"No, no, no! I want to hold you. Can you feel my happiness and love?"
"Xu Li! Tell her to let me go!"
Xu Li also hugged her, and the others swarmed over. Fu Mengru had never been hugged by so many people in her life. Her face was as red as an iron, and she kept struggling.
"Eh? This isn't right..."
Jiang Yuelu raised her head and suddenly saw a mirror floating in the air. It came from afar and finally found the target person. It was about to step forward, but because of the angle, it first swept towards the girl who was surrounded by people. The mirror monster had seen her before, and she had also participated in the psychological test.
“This is really weird… The picture taken that day clearly wasn’t like this… Was there a mistake? No way…” Suspicious about his own water mirror, he was about to open the box to take a look, but was instantly blasted away by a will-o’-the-wisp, “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
"Xia Yi - just wait - I will definitely come back -"
Jiang Yuelu blinked: "What happened just now?"
"Nothing happened." Xia Yi, who appeared in the woods at some point, put away the will-o'-the-wisp on his fingertips.
Jiang Yuelu quickly put this little episode aside. All the people who were sent out for the operation had returned. He counted the number of people and said, "Everyone is here, right? Who else is missing?"
Everyone looked at each other and said, "They are all here. Xie Xiaoya, Xu Li, Fu Mengru... uh..." They counted and counted, but there was always one person missing, and they couldn't remember who it was.
Jiang Yuelu looked at Xia Yi who was standing beside him, "Where is Leng Wenhan?"
"We finished too early, there were not many people around, and she went back first."
These remarks were undoubtedly Versailles. The layout of the search for the landing point along the river would not work if any step was wrong. Everyone present had spent a lot of time. Now, listening to Xia Yi casually saying that he had finished it early, they couldn't help but take a breath to calm their breathing.
Jiang Yuelu looked at the time and said, "Let's go to the Moon Altar and report to the High Priest first."
He led the way, and the others quickly followed. Xie Xiaoya walked at the end and whispered to Xu Li, "Why do I feel like this ceremony is just like playing house? Is it really useful?"
Xu Li: "We'll know tonight whether it works or not."
-
at the same time.
Leng Wenhan returned to the attic building to rest for a while, then looked at the time and sat up. According to the agreement, she had to meet Jiang Yuelu.
A dark shadow appeared at the door, and someone walked in quietly.
"who?"
She tried to stand up, but her vision blurred.
"Poor little girl, you can't use your eyes too much, didn't anyone tell you? Oh my, are you always open to protect your teammates?"
Leng Wenhan listened to this familiar voice: "...It's you."
"I really wanted to catch up with you, but the priest was in a hurry, so I had to resort to some vulgar means. Let me make it clear in advance that I don't like it."
The Fat Lady's face lit up in her blurry white pupils. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her eyes or if this was just her original appearance. The Fat Lady now looked distorted and her face seemed to have aged by decades, but she was speaking to her in a kind tone.
"Lu Yue, do you think he is the destined one? But in fact, the only person we have been targeting from the beginning is you... Only you can put an end to all this."
The cold fingers touched her face, like a cold-blooded animal leaving wet marks. She heard her whisper in her ear, "Can you lend me your eyes, Miss Wen Han?"
"Let us also go to the south of the Moon in the underworld to visit our old friends."
