199:
Tong Yue walked out with red and swollen eyes. She stared blankly at this withered old ginkgo tree. It was once so tall and lush. After the fire, all its dense leaves disappeared, countless branches were broken, and it deteriorated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But at that time, she didn't understand anything, nor could she understand the sadness in her mother's eyes and the pain hidden in her father's eyes.
My mother's gentle voice sounded in my mind, as well as the image of her disappearing not long ago.
She knew that from now on, she would never see her mother again.
Tong Yue thought about countless reasons, but never thought that her mother was a tree demon.
This ginkgo tree has been there as long as she can remember. Her mother said that this tree would protect their family. Her father took great care of this ginkgo tree and warned her to take good care of it and not to break its branches at will.
She remembered that she was naughty once when she was a child. She climbed up a ginkgo tree and was scolded by her father with a straight face.
"Yueyue, when you grow up, you should take good care of yourself in the future, and take good care of your father for your mother. He only has you. Also, mother loves you." These were the last words her mother said to her when she left. .
Tong Yue reached out and hugged the dry tree trunk, stroking the lines that stung her skin, and tried to raise the corners of her mouth to make herself smile.
Mom said she hoped she would be happy.
At this moment, the silver fox suddenly ran out from one side, quickly circled around the old ginkgo, and then retreated to Jiang Mian's feet, nuzzling Jiang Mian as if he was taking credit.
The next second, the ginkgo tree creaked, its bark peeled off automatically, and then fell heavily to the ground, revealing its completely rotten root system.
"Mom." Tong Yue rushed towards her in a state of collapse. Jiang Mian grabbed her with quick eyes and hands, "Don't worry."
The tree trunk automatically peeled off layer by layer, like peeling an onion. Tong Yue looked at Zuo Xingping anxiously: "Master Wu Zhen..."
Her voice stopped suddenly, it was—
In the middle of the peeled tree trunk, a small seed was exposed, with a few delicate and weak green buds sprouting from the seed, which seemed to be shrouded in thousands of rays of light in the night.
Tong Yue froze in place.
Jiang Mian stepped forward, picked up the green sprouting seeds, and handed it to the stunned Tong Yue: "Keep it well."
Tong Yue's excited hands trembled violently: "This, this is..."
"I didn't say it was your mother." Jiang Mian turned to Tianshi's father and said, "Right, Dad."
Zuo Xingping nodded, confirming what his precious daughter said.
Tong Yue couldn't care less. She held the ginkgo seeds and turned around excitedly and ran into the villa.
Seeing this, Jiang Mian and Zuo Xingping left quietly.
Silver Fox followed beside him and said flatteringly: "My master, I have made a meritorious service this time. Look, it's time for you to calm down."
Jiang Mian released the little paper man and pointed at the silver fox: "Beat him."
The little paper man floated heroically towards the silver fox.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Mian suddenly stopped. Zuo Xingping asked nervously: "What's wrong, Mianmian?"
He whipped out the mahogany sword from his Taoist robe.
"It's nothing, Dad." Jiang Mian's eyes widened with a smile - just now, a large amount of spiritual power inexplicably surged out of her body. Just like the last time she took Song Ziyi to the police station to meet Zhou Mingyu, after Song Ziyi disappeared, she Also gained a lot of spiritual power.
She obviously didn't do anything, she just ran with him the whole time, and it was all done by Master Tian.
A thought came to mind: Could it be that if she does good things like this, she will be rewarded with spiritual power from this world
If this is the case, she has found a shortcut to obtain spiritual power. Over time, perhaps with her body's qualifications, she can successfully build the foundation.
As her strength improves and she can practice more types, she may be able to help Tianshi Dad change his life.
"Dad." Jiang Mian said in a long voice, eyes widening at Tianshi's father.
Faced with his precious daughter's coquettishness, Zuo Xingping couldn't stand it. He nodded in confusion and agreed to Jiang Mian's request - he would tell her every order he took from now on, and as long as she had time, he would take her with him. go.
After realizing what he had promised, Zuo Xingping immediately regretted it and shook his head repeatedly.
The orders he takes are difficult and easy, and there are many dangers. Although his precious daughter is with him: he has seen ghosts and demons, but these are very rare cases, and both of them are accidental encounters. , which is different from the order he officially accepted.
How could he let his precious daughter go on adventures with him? No way.
Jiang Mian looked at Master Tianshi with a smile, then took out his mobile phone and played a recording:
"Dad, when you go to take orders to make money in the future, can you take me with you?"
"Okay, okay, I agree to whatever you say."
Jiang Mian turned off the recording and said to Tianshi's father, who was standing dumbly, "Dad, you promised me. You can't go back on your word. You can't keep your word. As a father, you have to set an example."
Zuo Xingping scratched his head and had nothing to say.
He felt as if he had been tricked by his precious daughter.
But looking at his precious daughter's face, he felt that he had thought wrong. He had agreed first, so he didn't blame his daughter!
Jiang Mian originally planned to take Master Tian back to the apartment, but Master Tian insisted on going back to the hospital, so the two had to separate halfway.
Yin Hu wanted to go back with Jiang Mian, but she kicked Tianshi Dad. She went to school every day and didn't need Yinhu. She asked him to follow Tian Shi Dad, and he could also use his orders to do something for Tian Shi Dad.
However, she didn't know that Zuo Xingping didn't go back to the hospital at all. Instead, he went directly to a park, lay down on a bench in the park, and took out a small piece of paper and a pen from his robe for Silver Fox to use. He held up the phone in his paw to illuminate it and began to write a plan on the little paper man.
for example-
Mianmian only has time on weekends. If he can take orders on weekends, he must take simple ones.
When Mianmian is in class, he can take other orders, more difficult ones.
Mianmian went with him to take the order. He had to protect Mianmian and not let her get hurt.
Mianmian…
Mianmian…
Every note or plan starts with the word "Mian Mian".
When a little paper man finished writing and ran out of space to write, he ran away and was replaced by a little paper man.
Sometimes when he was writing, the little paper man would scratch it with his hands, as if he felt itchy.
Yin Hu was forced to become a "servant" and held up his mobile phone resignedly. At first, he was speechless at Zuo Xingping's various actions - it is not easy for a powerful cultivator to reach such a level.
Looking at his movements at this time, he fell silent.
Suddenly, he remembered that he who once worked in a pet shop seemed to have also been a father.
—
No matter what strange things happened last night, Jiang Mian still had to resume his status as a student the next day and participate in the sports meeting as scheduled.
However, on the way to school, Jiang Mian received a call from Tong Yue, who immediately took the ginkgo seeds to find her father abroad and insisted on sending the money to her.
Jiang Mian finally accepted the five hundred yuan and gave it to Master Tian.
This is what Heavenly Master deserves. If you hold it in your hand, it should not disappear.
After Master Tian received the money, he sent a lot of emoticons to Jiang Mian, and the father and daughter competed online for pictures, which didn't end until they got to school.
Not long after, Jiang Mian received another voice message from Lu Yixiu. When she clicked it and listened, it was his anxious apology: "Sister, I'm sorry, I can't come to cheer you up today. Yueyue suddenly wants to go back. I have to Go see her off, and I will definitely come to cheer you up tomorrow!"
…
The fact that Gu Qiwen dropped out of school caused a little splash on the forum, but was later buried in the sports meeting.
But while Jiang Mian was waiting for her project to start, Meng Yuwen quietly gossiped with her: "Gu Qiwen broke up with Guan Xin before, and within a few days he was high-profile with Qi Menghan. The forum said that he did this to anger Guan Xin."
"I heard that Qi Menghan's family has a rich background. When she found out about this, she immediately dumped Gu Qiwen and made him drop out of school. I don't know if it's true. There's a lot of discussion on the forum."
After Meng Yuwen finished gossiping, he looked at Jiang Mian's expression and found that there was no change in her expression. Knowing that she didn't like to hear it, Meng Yuwen stopped the topic and turned to carefully please: "Mianmian, no matter how big the background of Qi Menghan's family is, it's not as big as yours. There are few in our academy who can compare with you."
Jiang Mian smiled and motioned to her: "Your project is about to start, go quickly."
After Meng Yuwen left, Jiang Mian took out his phone and planned to check the Internet for the latest news about Shen Shiqing's rescue, but after searching around, there was none.
After thinking about it, Jiang Mian clicked on Master's WeChat account, typed a few words, hesitated, and then deleted it.
- She suspected that the coincidence between Gu Qiwen and Shen Shiqing was caused by her master.
However, if it was really a coincidence and it was not Master, her question seemed to blame Master for not standing up for her.
Just as the radio announced the start of the high jump event, Jiang Mian put down her phone and turned her mind back to the sports meeting.
- She agreed to Teacher Liu, and this time she has to fight for her face.
Reporters have been here for a long time and have been looking for traces of Jiang Mian. However, Jiang Mian found a place to hide. When she appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the media.
A reporter seized the opportunity and ran up to Jiang Mian and asked many questions.
Jiang Mian answered one by one. He seemed to think she was easy to talk to, so he simply followed her with the microphone, planning to follow her throughout the whole process.
Jiang Mian: "..."
There is a saying that those who are bullied are honest people, and it is true.
Because of his celebrity connections, when Jiang Mian arrived at the competition venue, people immediately gathered around him.
The current record is 1.8 meters, achieved by a long-legged girl—for girls, this achievement is already very impressive, and many boys cannot achieve it.
Soon it was Jiang Mian's turn, and everyone was whispering:
"I wonder how high she can jump."
"Who knows."
"With so many people watching, it would be so embarrassing if I couldn't even jump 1.2 meters."
"The key is that there are still media. You see reporters following her all the time. It feels like she is under a lot of pressure."
…
At this moment, an eardrum-piercing scream sounded from the radio, causing countless people to cover their ears. When the scream disappeared, the sweet female broadcast voice had turned into an excited male voice:
"Attention sophomore students, my name is Qi Cheng. I am a new foreign language teaching assistant at the Film School and a new broadcast member. I am very honored to participate in your sports meeting. Next, I will cheer for the athletes. Speech!"
"Dear sister Jiang Mianjiang, you are like a light deer, and like weightless sand, you gently jump over the horizontal bar that belongs to you."
"Ah, you turned over, ah, you turned over again! Your beautiful face is dripping with sweat of joy, facing the colorful clouds, exuding a breathtaking and suffocating beauty. Come on, my sister Jiang!"
Jiang Mian: "..."
Is this special cat a lunatic who just ran away from the hospital
