15 days is neither short nor long.
Although Jing Cheng didn't care who he went with, he fully supported Qin Yan's decision to be in the same team with him, because he just wanted to see who the secret lover was hiding next to the other person.
Qin Yan didn't know Jing Cheng's little thoughts. In his eyes, these fifteen days were the best time for him and Jing Cheng to cultivate their relationship. Judging from Jing Cheng's extraordinary attention to him on a daily basis, even if the other party did not have the same thoughts as him, he still had a good impression of him.
He wanted to ignite another fire based on this superficial goodwill.
The two looked at each other, both with unclear meanings and different thoughts in their minds.
Fu Le opened the brochure and said, "Our school is really unoriginal. We always recommend the same few tourist attractions all year round. It's so boring."
He flipped through a few pages and threw the color booklet aside, and asked expectantly, "Brother Yan, where are we going this time?"
Qin Yan was a little impatient: "Have you not grown up? Why do you have to follow me every time?" He wanted to spend time alone with Jing Cheng, and didn't want a light bulb following him.
Fu Le: “…”
Fu Le felt aggrieved at being suddenly rejected. If no one in the whole school was willing to team up with him, I would have joined Dongzi and the others long ago.
...
...
Thinking of this, Fu Le couldn't help but feel sorry for Qin Yan. His brother Yan was rich and handsome. Normally, there should be many people willing to play with him, but after all these years, he was the only friend... It was really pitiful for the man when he thought about it.
However, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. Just because of his bad temper from time to time, no one wants to pay attention to him.
Another reason is Qin Yan’s special physique.
When other people get angry, they just lose their temper, but when Brother Yan gets angry, he really spit fire.
No one likes to have a cannon that can explode at any time around them. When Qin Yan gets angry, it's as if the air is on fire, and the temperature around him will rise.
Even Qin Yan's peers of the Qin family kept their distance from him, and no one wanted to play with him.
Fu Le still remembers that when he was a child, the children in the courtyard called Qin Yan "monster" in private.
When Qin Yan was young, he was weak and had a strange personality. The kids in his class liked to bully him, and he was one of them. But once, Qin Yan couldn't stand it anymore and had a fight with a kid. He couldn't control his temper and curled the kid's hair with his bare hands, and it even smoked. The little boy was so scared that he cried loudly. When the kindergarten teacher saw it, she rushed forward to stop him. She thought Qin Yan was playing with fire and brought a lighter to school, and she scolded him severely afterwards.
However, since then, the children in the class all thought that Qin Yan was the monster on TV, and they all hid when they saw him. Only Fu Le believed from the bottom of his heart that it was a superpower, and flattered himself to be friends with him.
Fu Le has a relative who works in the film industry. When he was a child, he was exposed to foreign blockbusters earlier than other children. This made him extremely obsessed with superpowers since he was a child. Therefore, when he saw Qin Yan's "superpowers", little Fu Le's admiration for him was unstoppable. From then on, he volunteered to serve Qin Yan as a younger brother, thus establishing his humble status.
Looking back now, Fu Le really wanted to beat his old self to death.
Qin Yan was unaware of his complicated psychological activities. Instead, he turned to look at Jing Cheng and asked for his opinion.
"Although the school stipulates that there should be at least five people in a team, the teacher will not specifically require it. It is not uncommon for two people to form a team. When the time comes, just find a few classmates to take photos in advance and send them over."
How could Fu Le not understand what was said? He despised his brother Yan for being so mean and shameless. He was willing to give up his face just to pursue someone, but he put on a "heartbroken" expression and held out his hand: "Brother Yan! Are you going to abandon me?"
Qin Yan laughed and cursed: "Get lost."
Fu Le squinted at him, then raised his chin and nodded at Jing Cheng, and said with a light click of the tongue, "Hehe."
"..." Qin Yan couldn't hold back his expression, so he wiped his face and coughed lightly.
When Fu Le saw this, he grinned even more wildly.
Jing Cheng didn't understand the little lawsuit between the two of them. He observed Fu Le for a long while before slowly saying, "We still have to follow the rules. I think it's best for Fu Le to come with us."
Qin Yan's face darkened instantly and he glared at Fu Le.
Fu Le was stunned: "...Why?" He was already prepared to go with the landlord and the others. That kid was the best at having fun and had many ideas, so he would definitely not let him down.
Seeing his bewildered look, Jing Cheng couldn't bear to tell him that the bad luck on your forehead has spread to your entire face. It's not just bad luck anymore, it's terrible bad luck. Yet you can still laugh so happily, unafraid of turning too much joy into sorrow.
But if I don't say it, with Fu Le's carefree personality, he won't take it seriously.
After thinking about it, Jing Cheng decided to tell the truth: "You will have bloody disasters in the next few days." What surprised him was that when he saw Fu Le's nose bridge in the morning, there was only a little bad luck, but when he saw it again in the afternoon, it had spread to the whole face. It was obvious that Fu Le was being targeted by "something".
Fu Le thought he was going to say something important, so he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Oh! Didn't you say this this morning? It's just a little misfortune. A scratch and some bleeding are nothing. I just need to pay more attention to it."
He used to fall down for no reason when he followed Qin Yan, and he was used to it (……).
Qin Yan was very sensitive and knew that Jing Cheng was not joking. He hesitated and asked, "Is it serious?"
Jing Cheng nodded and added, "His life is in danger." However, if he could stay by his side, there would be a glimmer of hope. When he goes back tonight, he will have to ask Assistant Wang to prepare some more yellow paper for him. He is really not used to being without the amulet on him.
Fu Le opened his mouth in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Jing Cheng said solemnly: "I never lie."
Fu Le was silent.
Jing Cheng thought Fu Le was frightened by what he said, and was about to comfort him by saying "I'm here so nothing will happen to him", but Fu Le was silent for a moment before turning to look at Qin Yan, and said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother, I'm really sorry, I can only be a light bulb to save my life."
“…………”
Qin Yan almost vomited blood. Is this the point?
Jing Cheng: “???”
What is the story behind the light bulb? Jing Cheng silently memorized the word and decided to ask someone about it later.
…
The three of them picked and chose from the colorful pictures in the booklet and finally chose the ancient city.
The name of the ancient city is "Gucheng". It is not far away, right next to Shangjing City, and is also a famous tourist destination.
The location was chosen by Jing Cheng, because on the way to the ancient city one has to pass by Taiyin Mountain, and he could go to Taiyin Mountain to see the damage to the Demon-Suppressing Stele.
Another reason was that Jing Cheng was delighted when he saw the color pictures of the ancient city in the booklet. The architecture still retained the charm of the Republic of China.
Although the world a hundred years later is full of tall buildings, orderly transportation, and convenient in all aspects, Jing Cheng still can't help but miss the street scenes a hundred years ago, even though it did not leave him with any good memories.
Qin Yan and Fu Le had no objection. They came from wealthy families and had been to many places over the years. They were frequent visitors to foreign tourist attractions. It didn't matter where they went. The key was who they went with.
Qin Yan said, "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. I heard that the ancient city holds a temple fair every year on the Double Ninth Festival. It is very lively and often appears in the news. Many crews go there to shoot movies. You can run into celebrity actors just by walking on the road..."
Jing Cheng felt longing after hearing this. He wondered if there were any anti-Japanese war movies being filmed there, and whether his favorite actors would appear in the ancient city.
Fu Le said, "I remember that our class's top student Chen Zhiyi's home is in the ancient city. How about going with him? He can lead the way and give us directions."
Jing Cheng hesitated a little after hearing this: "It's not a good idea to trouble others like this."
"We are all classmates, so what's the problem?" Fu Le helped him make a decision. "He never participates in group activities anyway. Whenever the school holds an outdoor activity, he chooses to go home."
Jing Cheng looked at Qin Yan with questioning eyes. Is this true?
He always felt that these two people saw that Chen Zhiyi was usually studious and quietly easy to bully, so they deliberately made things difficult for him.
Qin Yan nodded: "I have seen the family information form of the whole class, and his family is indeed in the ancient city." It's just that the family information is a bit messy.
"I'll go talk to him later." Fu Le said excitedly.
Jing Cheng had no choice but to give up.
…
Chen Zhiyi was indeed good-tempered. He agreed before Fu Le even said anything.
Knowing that he was traveling with Jing Cheng, Chen Zhiyi shyly invited Jing Cheng to his home.
Jing Cheng naturally wouldn't refuse, but Qin Yan looked as if he had drunk a big mouthful of aged vinegar, and his face looked as ugly as if he was constipated.
That night, Jing Cheng called Brother Jing to report to him the news that Nanming Middle School was about to hold an outdoor activity.
Jing Rong's tone was quite gentle: "Okay, I'll ask someone to pick you up tomorrow morning. Who are you going with?"
Jing Cheng replied: "Qin Yan, Fu Le and Chen Zhiyi."
Jing Rong on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then spoke after a while: "I know Qin Yan and Fu Le, there is no harm in you getting in touch with them, but as for that Chen Zhiyi, you should not get too close to him."
There are only about twenty people in the International Class A. Jing Rong had already investigated the background of these twenty people before sending Jing Cheng in, for fear that there might be a bad person among them who might lead Jing Cheng astray.
He did not expect his "good brother" to be influenced by the company he kept, as long as he did not associate with the company of bad people.
Jing Cheng could tell something was wrong with his tone and said in surprise, "Chen Zhiyi even invited me to their home as a guest."
Jing Rong hesitated and said, "Their family is quite complicated. If he went to his house, you would eat whatever other people give you... Forget it, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'll go home tomorrow. I'm busy here. I'll hang up first."
Jing Cheng: “???”
What does a complicated family have to do with whether he eats or not? This is incoherent and really incomprehensible.
After returning to the dormitory at night, Jing Cheng browsed the forum for a while and saw a red post in the forum saying that a fresh corpse with its internal organs dug out appeared in the ancient city last night. The degree of cruelty was appalling. The post hoped that the Taoist Association would quickly assist the police in catching the "murderer". This was the eighth "heart and liver digging" murder case in two months.
After seeing this, Jing Cheng shook his head and sighed. The Taoists nowadays are really no good. A low-level man-eating monster has not been caught in two months. The Taoist school is really going downhill.
It just so happens that he is going to the ancient city this time, maybe he can solve this problem.
After saying good night to Qin Yan, the two went to the bathroom one after another to wash up and then went back to their rooms to sleep. They had to get up early the next day.
.
In a villa far outside the southern city area, the lights were brightly on.
Many young Taoists gathered together with serious expressions.
——Members of the Taoist Association are holding a meeting overnight.
Zhang Jinhuai, the leader, looked around at everyone and said calmly, "I got news today that the monster is not dead. It has fled to the ancient city in a new shell and is causing trouble again. This time I decided to go to the ancient city in person. Is there anyone willing to go with me?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
Many people even quietly lowered their heads.
Zhang Jinhuai: "...You guys really disappoint me!"
