"Look at the staircase. You don't have enough strength to be a guest of the Queen Mother of the West."
Hei Xia Zi and Jie Yu Chen were walking one in front and one behind. Looking back, they could not see many stairs behind them. They had no beginning or end in sight. Hei Xia Zi sat on the stairs and took out a piece of compressed biscuit from his bag and handed it to Jie Yu Chen, "Here you go. Eat well so you can get going!"
Xie Yuchen slapped Hei Xiazi's hand away and said, "You really don't mind anything."
"I don't believe in ghosts and gods, so there are no taboos." Hei Xiazi said with a smile.
"You are a very interesting person. Since we have been together till now, I will treat you to a meal when I get back." Xie Yuchen said.
"Treat me out for dinner? Forget it. How much does green pepper and shredded pork fried rice cost? It's so boring to eat this." Hei Xia Zi shook his head disapprovingly.
Xie Yuchen sneered, "Can you be more promising? How about this, when we get back, I'll invest in a food factory for you, and make that kind of food specifically for you..."
Xie Yuchen was interrupted by Hei Xiazi halfway through his words, "Hey hey hey... stop it! Don't say anything about what you'll do after you go back. Generally speaking, if you say something like that, you're not far from death."
"Didn't you just say there are no taboos?"
"That's different. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so of course I don't have so many taboos. You're still young, so don't speak carelessly."
Hei Xia Zi's tone was more serious than before, but Xie Yuchen didn't notice, and the two continued walking forward.
…
The weather was originally good, but suddenly it turned cloudy and rainy. Several people ran to a tree with leaves on their shoulders and sat down only after checking that there were no insects.
Aning used a dagger to pick a bug from his body. The bug had wings and was completely black. It was the grass tick that had bitten them just now.
"Aning, do you think this insect is poisonous?" Wuxie asked as he leaned over.
Aning glanced at him and said, "You, take off your pants."
After hearing this, Wu Xie moved back a long way, "What do you want to do?!"
Aning stood up without saying anything. Seeing that things were not going well, the fat man protected Wuxie behind him and said, "What are you going to do? Tianzhen is still a child. If you have any problems, come to me!"
At the same time, Ji Huaichuan and Zhang Qiling were looking for a herb when they suddenly heard two wailing sounds.
"Is that Fatty and Wuxie? Why are they shouting like that?" Ji Huaichuan stopped and looked around.
"It's hot," said Zhang Qiling.
"Hot? Could they have roasted it directly with fire?" Ji Huaichuan guessed.
"With a knife"
"Using a knife to pick it up, no wonder." Ji Huaichuan laughed.
Zhang Qiling glanced at Ji Huaichuan silently and said softly, "Schadenfreude"
"Hey! I won't talk to you anymore, let's go find some herbs."
As if he was poked by something, Ji Huaichuan changed the subject and walked forward. He almost tripped over a tree root before he took two steps. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling was quick to grab him around the waist and prevented him from falling.
The two of them remained in this position for about a minute. Ji Huaichuan couldn't help but remind them, "I say... can you let go?"
Zhang Qiling then let go of his hand in disappointment and walked forward. Ji Huaichuan watched Zhang Qiling leave and chased after him. "You can't always think about taking advantage of me, you should also let me take advantage of you a little, what do you think?"
"Shut up and find some grass."
"Zhang Qiling, don't be shy. Just be bold and you'll have everything. You didn't remember anything I taught you before!"
"You need to be more proactive to gain love. If you're always embarrassed like this, when will you be able to win me over?"
"How about I teach you how to chase your wife?"
"Zhang Qiling? Little Lingzi? Qiling baby? Dear? Husband?"
Ji Huaichuan chattered like a chatterbox all the way, but Zhang Qiling ignored him until he called the last word. Then Zhang Qiling suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Ji Huaichuan.
"What was your name just now?" Zhang Qiling asked.
"Ah? Zhang Qiling, what's wrong?" Ji Huaichuan pretended not to understand.
"No." Zhang Qiling frowned slightly.
"So...Qiling baby?"
Ji Huaichuan continued to act, and Zhang Qiling's frown deepened. Ji Huaichuan slowly approached Zhang Qiling, his long hair tied up high fluttering in the wind. He placed his hands on Zhang Qiling's shoulders and said with a long tone, a smile spreading from his chest, "Husband... Lord? You like to hear this name..."
"No." Zhang Qiling rarely avoided Ji Huaichuan's gaze and turned his head away.
"Then why are you asking me?" Ji Huaichuan raised the corner of his lips slightly and asked Zhang Qiling.
"I didn't hear clearly." Zhang Qiling lowered his head and pretended nothing happened.
"Well, how about I call you that from now on?" Ji Huaichuan asked.
"No need," Zhang Qiling refused.
"Why? Are you embarrassed by the crowd? Or do you just want me to scream for you alone?" Ji Huaichuan's eyes flashed. He pressed Zhang Qiling down with both hands and quickly kissed him on the cheek. "Then I will scream for you alone from now on."
After saying that, Ji Huaichuan let go of his hand and patted Zhang Qiling's backpack. "Let's go, we've found the herbs. If we don't go back, they'll be eaten alive by those bugs!"
"Um."
Zhang Qiling let Ji Huaichuan hold his hand, and the two of them walked back slowly. They would slip occasionally on the road, and Zhang Qiling did not pull Ji Huaichuan to stand firmly in time. This resulted in the two of them leaning against each other as they walked, either hugging or supporting each other, which was very affectionate.
When the two of them returned, it was almost dark, and Wuxie and the others had almost finished dealing with the problem. Zhang Qiling took the herbs he had found and put them into the fire, as he heard that the smoke from them could repel insects.
"You know what, this guy is usually a taciturn person, but he is quite considerate at this critical moment," the fat man said to Wuxie in a low voice while rubbing his lower back.
"How can he not be considerate? I think since the little brother has been with Xiaochuaner, he probably even knows how to do laundry and cook." Wuxie also muttered softly.
"What are you two whispering about?" Ji Huaichuan leaned over and asked.
"Ah? Ah! Praising the little brother!"
"Yes, yes, I'm praising the little brother!"
Wuxie and Fatty laughed in unison, as if they had rehearsed it in advance.
"Then I have to praise him a lot. My Zhang Qiling has many advantages!" Ji Huaichuan seemed to be talking about himself, like a kitten showing off with its tail up.
Wuxie and Fatty smiled at each other, "Of course we have to praise him! Xiaochuan'er, listen to what Fatty is telling you. Our little brother is absolutely loyal and has a good temper!"
"Yes, that's right. Besides, he never hides any private money, hands over all his salary, and has no bad habits." Wuxie continued.
"And more, he's good-looking, has high fighting power, and is an expert at identifying treasures in tombs!" The fat man continued to sell.
"That's right, he's just a little old. That's not a problem. Although he's old, he looks young!" Wuxie clapped his hands and laughed.
Ji Huaichuan watched these two people selling Zhang Qiling to him like a salesperson, citing all his advantages. However, as for his age, if they knew that he was several times older than Zhang Qiling, they would probably say that he was an old cow eating young grass, right?
