Chapter 211 That Cai Ya is your brother? !
Hey guy, you two are here to play smart points for me?
No, you seem to be smart.
Zhou Ji shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, we will go to Yuzhou City to find him."
After returning to Yuzhou after 600 years, everything is so novel to Solanum nigrum. The city wall of Yuzhou has been repaired several times, and it has a more simple and heavy texture. big difference.
This kind of conflict between familiarity and unfamiliarity is called the passage of time.
There was no time to feel too much emotion. As soon as the two entered the city gate, Solanum nigrum couldn't wait to drag Zhou Ji to the direction of the market.
She still remembers that Zhou Ji told her when she was on the road that her brother was probably working as a clerk in a place called 'Yong'an Dang'. Although Solanum solanum didn't know how Zhou Ji knew this, she believed that Brother Zhou Ji would never lie to her!
"Brother Zhou Ji, where is that Yong'an? I can't find it no matter how hard I look."
Yuzhou City can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous city in Sichuan and Chongqing. The location where the two first entered the city happened to be near the Town God's Temple. The streets and roadsides were crowded with pilgrims and vendors. The back of the head in various styles, and the shop signs looming on both sides of the street.
Solanum nigrum unconsciously tiptoed higher and higher, and even completely lifted off the ground, almost floating into the sky.
Zhou Ji shook his head and smiled wryly, and stretched out his hands to push the suspended nightshade back to the ground, "Although I know he is in Yong'an, I don't know the specific location of Yong'an, so I'd better find someone to ask."
As soon as the voice fell, a woman with disheveled hair escaped from the Temple of the City God, with half an apple in her arms, and ran towards this direction in a panic.
"Catch her! How dare you steal the tribute!" Behind her, two young men came out, yelling and chasing after her.
Solanum nigrum didn't notice the person next to her at the moment, and when she heard the movement from the Town God's Temple, she turned around subconsciously, just in time to collide with the woman who had escaped.
Solanum nigrum is also a demon sword and sword spirit. Even though she doesn't like fighting, she has practiced self-defense for more than ten years under Zhou Ji's persecution. The shock fell to the ground, and the half of the apple in the opponent's arms fell to the ground.
Juice splashed everywhere, and the fresh and tender flesh was covered with dust and rolled to Zhou Ji's shoes.
Tang Xuejian looked at the shattered and tumbling half of an apple with some despair, as if seeing herself now and her future life.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Xiaokui didn't do it on purpose!" The situation was urgent, and the figure of Solanum nigrum flashed in a flash, and Tang Xuejian was caught in a blink of an eye, not caring about the mud and sticky hair all over her body, and stretched out his hand to protect her in his arms Li said anxiously.
Maybe it's because I've been hungry for too long, or maybe I'm exhausted.
Amid Solanum nigrum's calls, Tang Xuejian lost consciousness.
"Little" The two people chasing after Tang Xuejian from the Town God's Temple stopped immediately when they saw Tang Xuejian who had passed out. Although they were angry with Tang Xuejian for stealing the tribute, they never thought of killing anyone. "Don't pretend to be dead~~! This is none of our business~~"
One of them wanted to step forward to test her breathing, but Zhou Ji stopped him.
"It's wrong for this girl to steal the tribute. How about adding some incense to the temple with these two leaves?" Zhou Ji casually took out a gold leaf and shot it at the two of them, who reached out to catch it. Shocked by the force carried by the leaves, he took three steps back, his arms numb.
"Thank you layman, thank you layman."
The two of them glanced at the numb and trembling hands, then at the gold leaf in their hands. How could they dare to think about anything else, and hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and slipped back into the Temple of the City God.
"Brother Zhou Ji, let's put this girl in order first, and then go to my brother?" Although Long Kui was anxious to see her brother, the girl in front of her passed out because of her. With a tear-stained pretty face, she seemed to be thinking of her former self, and she couldn't let it go.
Zhou Ji also noticed that the girl in front of him was exactly the same as Xi Yao he had seen in God Realm, and immediately understood her identity, and helped Solanum nigrum to lift Tang Xuejian up.
I found a cleaner inn. After the nightshade's breath adjustment and recuperation, Tang Xuejian just woke up faintly. When she opened her eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment, she subconsciously huddled up and nestled in the corner of the bed, vigilant and uneasy. looking around.
"Don't worry, Xiaokui and Brother Zhou Ji are not bad people~" Solanum nigrumi sat by the bed, looked into Tang Xuejian's eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaokui didn't pay attention just now and accidentally bumped into you. "
"It's not your fault. In fact, I was also at fault. I didn't look at the road at the time. I should be the one apologizing to you." After a moment of panic, Tang Xuejian calmed down, looking at the gentle and lovely Solanum nigrum, feeling warm in her heart .
Psychologically calm, but physically hungry.
‘Gulu~’
While speaking, Tang Xue saw that her face turned red, she glanced at Zhou Ji at the table, then at Nightshade Nightshade, and hurriedly covered her stomach, thinking of the half of the apple that fell on the ground, she felt a burst of regret.
‘My Apple.’
"Girl, are you hungry?" Solanum nigrum looked at Tang Xuejian's small movements with some doubts, and asked tentatively.
Since she became a sword spirit, she hasn't eaten for more than a thousand years, and Zhou Ji has a huge space with a square formation, which is naturally filled with all kinds of food and supplies, so she has almost never heard the sound of her stomach growling. Even if there were memories of being hungry, it was a long, long time ago.
Tang Xue saw that her neck was stuck, and said firmly, "No, I'm not hungry, not at all."
Zhou Ji knew very well that Tang Xuejian's eldest lady's temper was naturally unwilling to give in to outsiders, so she smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry, girl, why don't we have something together? Just treat it like a little sunflower bumping into you apologise."
"Is this so?" Tang Xuejian swallowed her saliva, glanced at the kind-hearted Solanum nigrum, nodded hesitantly, and said softly, "If that's the case, then I will reluctantly agree."
Taking advantage of Tang Xuejian's time to wash up and arrange her clothes, Zhou Ji asked the staff to come to Liuhe to set up a table of meals.
Seeing Tang Xue see how she was devouring, Zhou Ji couldn't help but feel distressed. Anyway, Xi Yao helped him back then, and with this good fate, he should take care of the girl in front of him no matter what.
As the speed of picking up vegetables began to slow down, Tang Xuejian finally felt full.
During this period of time, she had a hard time. She couldn't eat enough, couldn't sleep well, and she lost her grandpa, so she felt extremely depressed. She also wanted to go to find Jingtian, but knowing that she had a bad personality, she was even more worried that Jingtian would laugh at her.
After leaving the Tang family, she is no longer the eldest lady before, no one spoils her and no one listens to her, she has nowhere to go but hides in the Town God's Temple, steals some offerings to eat when she is hungry, and has been pampered since she was a child, Tang Xue saw She had never suffered such pain before, and during this period of time, she truly experienced the coldness of the world.
"Thank you," Tang Xuejian looked at the messy table, lowered her head and clasped her fingers in embarrassment, got up and said, "I will return these to you later."
"Xuejian girl doesn't have to do this, this is what I should do." Zhou Ji smiled.
"You know me?" Tang Xuejian looked at Zhou Ji in surprise. She seemed to have never seen Zhou Ji and Solanum nigrum before in her impression. It's also the first time I've heard of it.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and said with a light smile, "I owed a favor to someone back then, now that I see you, I should take care of you."
"You mean grandpa? You know grandpa?"
Tang Xue saw that her surprise turned into surprise, and she mistook the Xi Yao mentioned by Zhou Ji as Tang Kun, but Zhou Ji couldn't explain it, so she was noncommittal, took a sip from her teacup, and didn't answer her question.
Tang Xuejian thought he was right, and while he was relieved, he became closer to Zhou Ji and Solanum nigrum.
"Then what's your name? Why haven't you heard Grandpa mention it?"
"Your grandfather and I have only met once from a distance, and have never spoken to each other." Zhou Ji said: "As for the name, my name is Zhou Ji, and the girl next to her is Solanum nigrum."
Solanum nigrum smiled sweetly at Tang Xuejian, and said softly, "Sister Xuejian can just call me Xiaokui."
The three of them are officially acquainted now. During the chat, Solanum nigrum heard that Tang Xuejian grew up in Yuzhou City, and quickly asked, "Sister Xuejian, have you heard of 'Yong'an Dang'?"
Tang Xue was taken aback when she heard the words, and that annoying figure flashed in her mind, and she asked subconsciously, "What are you doing there? Do you want to treat it as something?"
"Yes and no." Zhou Ji recalled the scene in the original work, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said with a straight face: "We went to Yong'an to find someone."
"Yes, yes, I'm looking for Xiaokui's brother~" Long Kui nodded repeatedly, "Brother Zhou Ji said that Xiaokui's brother is in Yong'an, can sister Xuejian take us there?"
"Of course! Yong'an Dang is actually the property of our Tang and their Tang family. I'm familiar with it." Although Tang Xuejian didn't want to meet Sedum in her current capacity, she looked expectantly when she saw Solanum nigrum , and the leftovers on the table, he bit the bullet and agreed.
"That's really great!" Solanum nigrum held Tang Xuejian's hand, "Brother Zhou Ji said that Sedum is my brother, so do you know him?"
"Who is that?? That dead Caiya is your brother?" Tang Xuejian was dumbfounded when she heard that, everyone in Yong'an Dang flashed through her mind, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and she muttered, "Yes. It's more like him."
"Dead vegetable teeth?" Although Solanum nigrum didn't understand what it meant, she could vaguely feel that it must not be a good word.
Just as Tang Xuejian was muttering softly, a strong wind suddenly blew open the window, ripping up the curtains and gauze.
"Why is there a sudden strong wind?" Tang Xuejian got up and wanted to close the window, but she didn't notice that the half-length dress of Solanum nigrum, who suddenly became quiet, had been dyed red, but Zhou Ji pressed her shoulders again, and turned back in an instant. up blue.
Turning around, Tang Xuejian's eyes fell on the palm of Solanum nigrum's shoulder, and her eyes shifted between the two, revealing a meaningful chuckle.
Noticing her misunderstood eyes, Zhou Ji with black lines all over his head, took away his palms as if nothing had happened, and gave Tang Xuejian a threatening look, Tang Xuejian nodded, and returned a look of "I understand~" , walked towards Solanum nigrum as if ignoring it, and said with a chuckle: "It's still early in the day, maybe Cai. Sedum is still in the pawnshop, let's go find him now?"
Solanum nigrum nodded again and again, turned to look at Zhou Ji, his pitiful eyes could not be rejected at all.
Leaving the inn, the three of them walked towards Yong'an Dang.
On the way, Solanum nigrum asked why Tang Xuejian called Sedum "Cai Ya", and Tang Xuejian told her about the outbreak of poisonous people in Yuzhou City some time ago. Hearing that Sedum was poisoned by a corpse, he would rather drive away everyone , When she ground her fangs and didn't want to hurt others, Solanum solanum felt a pain in her heart, and even Tang Xue saw that she was reliving her experience with Sedum, her tone softened and softened a lot.
Arriving at Yong'an, Tang Xuejian stopped suddenly, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and said firmly: "Cai Ya should be inside right now, you just go in, I'll wait for you here."
"Is Xuejian sister angry with him? Why don't you go in?" Solanum solanum asked with some doubts.
"No, I'm too lazy to be angry with him." Tang Xuejian insisted: "I just don't like him, and I don't want to see him."
Zhou Ji frowned, stretched out his hand to protect the two of them behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Even if you want to see him now, you can't see him."
"What do you mean? What's wrong with Cai Ya?" Tang Xuejian became anxious and asked quickly.
Zhou Ji looked in the direction of Yong'an Dang, and said in a deep voice: "I feel a powerful demonic energy appearing in Yong'an Dang. If I guess correctly, it should be the Demon Lord in person."
Looking back at Solanum nigrum, Zhou Ji pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, you stay here to protect Miss Xuejian, and come back after Mo Zunlou leaves."
"Who are you calling?"
Zhou Ji's unceremonious tone startled Tang Xuejian, but the black nightshade next to her even made her jump up.
I saw a voice similar to that of Solanum nigrum, but with a completely different voice and timbre coming from the side. The originally gentle and pleasant Solanum nigrum suddenly became fierce and pungent. Wearing a red dress like fire, it was obviously the same person. But both the temperament and the eyes are completely different from before.
"You called me that first." Zhou Ji waved his hand, as if to dismiss the other party, "Forget it, it's not important, you stay here to take care of Miss Xuejian, I'll go back as soon as I go."
"You!" Hong Kui gritted her teeth and stared at Zhou Ji's back, even her watery eyes became angry. Sensing the uneasy sight from the side, he turned his head to look at Tang Xuejian, glanced at it, then turned back, staring at Yongandang's direction solemnly.
