Tangled

Shen Qiqi looked at him and didn't answer any more.

If they continue discussing, they should forget business.

"Cousin, let's see where cousin is first."

If she didn't remind her, she would really forget about Ash.

Mu Chengze touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

He continued to look over there with his head raised high, and continued to climb up the tree after he couldn't see it.

There were so many branches and leaves on the big tree, he struggled for a long time before he finally made a crack to check.

The black mist had spread into a large area, and even if he climbed up, he still couldn't see a single figure.

Shen Qiqi was still waiting under the tree, he jumped down two or three times, and spread his hands towards her, "I can't help it, I can't see anything."

"We can only continue to wait."

Shen Qiqi was anxious, but there was nothing she could do, even if she could get over, it would only be a disservice.

"Cousin, go over and help, there are few people here, there will be no danger." After waiting for a while, no one came back, Shen Qiqi finally couldn't help it.

Mu Chengze fanned himself, the urgency in his heart was gone now.

It's been so long, if something really went wrong, he should have come back long ago.

If you haven't come back now, maybe you have something to do.

He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a little smile.

"Cousin, don't worry, take a look at what that is?"

Shen Qiqi turned her head in doubt, and looked in the direction indicated by him.

The three sea dongqings flew towards the direction of the fire from far to near.

She stood and watched for a long time, and saw that Hai Dongqing flew up again not long after it fell, and flew towards three different directions after flying into the air.

If they are not fighting, it proves that the cousin is fine.

She finally let go of her heart, sat down with her hands on her chest, and let out a small mouthful of air.

Seeing her like this, Mu Chengze came over to hold an umbrella for her, not forgetting to laugh at her.

"Look at your courage. You have been out for so long, why haven't you improved at all?"

"Ashu is highly skilled in martial arts, you have to have more confidence in him, otherwise if he finds out that you despise him so much, you will be slapped in the palm of your hand in the future."

Shen Qiqi raised her head, stared at him with clear eyes, and did not say a word for a long time.

She is already this old, even if she does something wrong, she won't be slapped again.

And she has grown to such a big size, but she has never been slapped in the palm.

The old lady would punish her to kneel at most, and if it was more serious, she would be locked up in the yard and not allowed to go out, such as slapping her palms and admonishing her, she would never do it.

Her habit of only looking at people and not talking is really passed down by Ashura. Although her eyes are not as sharp as Ashura's, they can still make people feel creepy.

He cleared his throat, laughed dryly, and turned his gaze to the other side slightly unnaturally.

"Then what, it's really hot today."

"I don't know if Ash can find water to come back with such a big sun."

"However, with Ash's great ability, fetching water must be easy for him."

He was talking to himself, but he didn't get a response, and the more he talked, the more embarrassed he felt.

In the end, Shen Qiqi couldn't bear to keep him embarrassed, and moved to the side to make room for him.

"When my cousin goes to school, do you often get slapped by your husband?"

Speaking of this, Mu Chengze was full of grievances. When he was in school, the Taifu didn't restrain himself because he was the prince.

"When the Taifu came to teach, I was often beaten. Later, the Taifu was demoted to a poor place, and a teacher came in person, and my life was easier."

"But it's only a little bit better. My father will randomly check my homework from time to time. If I don't meet the standards, he will let the teacher beat me in front of him."

"If the teacher beats me lightly, he will replace it with someone who is more ruthless."

"Back then, my life was worse than Coptis chinensis."

After hearing this, Shen Qiqi didn't know how to come back.

She originally thought that the prince would be well-clothed since he was born, but she didn't expect that he would be punished for being lazy like ordinary people.

"My cousin never went to school, how did you recognize that word?"

Shen Qiqi was taken aback for a moment, she really hadn't thought about this.

How do you recognize it?

She tilted her head and thought about it carefully, but she couldn't remember it.

"It seems that if you look at it, you will recognize the words."

Her answer was so unbelievable that Mu Chengze forgot to fan her. He paused for a moment before shaking his head and smiling.

"You really deserve to be a girl from the Shen family in Jiangzhou. You are so smart. If you had been admitted to school at that time, your literary talent would have overwhelmed all the noble girls in Kyoto."

The Jiangzhou Shen family name was given to her since she was born, but after she left home and went to Kyoto, Shen Qiqi did not receive the slightest favor brought by this name.

On the contrary, he would be ridiculed by the cousins ​​in the house from time to time.

Once upon a time, she also thought that if she was not from the Shen family in Jiangzhou, there would be less laughter.

Now that she's grown up, she thinks about it, she can't choose her origin, all she can do is to work hard and get used to it.

"My cousin's words are over. I'm not that good. Even if I go to school, I should be about the same as I am now."

"Cousin is modest."

Mu Chengze laughed. When he raised his head, he glanced aside from the corner of his eye. After seeing it clearly, he stopped laughing.

"Your good cousin is back, go and see if he has all beards and tails."

Before he could finish his words, the little girl beside him had already rushed over.

Although she was excited, she did not lose her composure, and stopped when she was two steps away from him, looking up and down.

"I saw that there was a big accident over there, is my cousin injured?"

"It's okay, it's just a few bandits." Gu Tingshu held a large bag of things in his hand, and reached out to give her a hand when he went over.

"It's sunny at noon, don't run out in the future."

There was still a killing intent on his body, but his words were extremely gentle, Shen Qiqi responded softly.

The two walked back under the tree, and Mu Chengze kept fanning the wind. Seeing him throwing the package on the ground, he squatted down to check.

"I just went to get some water, why did you bring so many things back?"

"Why are there so many good things, are they all found from bandit dens?"

"My dear, look at this string of pearl necklaces, at least it's worth 800 taels."

There is still a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in this package. Such good things are not available in ordinary people.

I don't know which big family was robbed, and suffered such a serious crime, I must have cried blood and tears.

Gu Tingshu ignored the things on the ground, just took off the package on his back, took water and handed it to Shen Qiqi.

"Drink some water."

Shen Qiqi took it and took a few sips, then pulled Gu Tingshu to sit down and asked him what was going on.

Mu Chengze was also extremely curious about this, and even ignored the pile of gold, silver and jewels, and came over to wait for him to talk.

"Bandits nest near the water source. When I went to fetch water, I was stopped and robbed. Then I set fire to their nest."
