Aware of Ren Yaoqi's gaze, Xiao Jingxi was overjoyed, and the smiling face made people unable to take their eyes off.
Xiao Jinglin coughed lightly, squinted at Xiao Jingxi and said, "It's getting late, let's go, or we won't be back in the afternoon."
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Xiao Jinglin said before that she was out for an outing today, she thought it was near Tianqing Mountain, but listening to Xiao Jinglin's words, it seemed that the place to go was quite far.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi with a smile and said, "I went to the hot spring villa, and I made a few big kites. I can't let it go here."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard the words. She naturally liked to play with Xiao Jinglin, but Mrs. Xu and her mother had prepared this climb.
As if she knew what Ren Yaoqi was in trouble, Xiao Jinglin said, "I already greeted Mr. Ouyang when I went to find you. Mr. She knows my temperament best, don't worry, she will cover it up for you."
Ren Yaoqi felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange for a while, but she was still a little hesitant.
Xiao Jingxi paused and said suddenly, "I drew the kite."
"Ah?" Ren Yaoqi blinked and looked at Xiao Jingxi, but did not respond for a while.
"I drew the kite." Xiao Jingxi repeated.
Although he still smiled, his eyes were a little dim, and he whispered again: "Aren't you going?"
Ren Yaoqi's face turned red, she wanted to say that it was really inconvenient today, so she just left, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say why she looked at Xiao Jingxi. , When she inexplicably said the word "go", even herself was stunned.
Her voice was not loud, but Xiao Jingxi could hear it clearly. The corners of his lips curved into a pleasant arc, and the dim color in his eyes was instantly eclipsed by the light that broke through the clouds in an instant.
Xiao Jinglin turned her head away as if she couldn't bear to look directly, and snorted coldly in her heart.
Ren Yaoqi bit her lip, she felt that she must have been caught in the evil just now. It's just that now that she has agreed, she no longer has any regrets, she can only turn around and get on the carriage, but she doesn't dare to look at Xiao Jingxi again.
Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi to get on the carriage first. After Ren Yaoqi got on the carriage, she looked up and down at Xiao Jingxi with contempt and said, "Do you know what you look like now?"
Xiao Jingxi was in a happy mood. Although she knew that Xiao Jinglin had no good words to say, she still smiled with a good temper: "What?"
Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes: "Peacock! The man! The screen is opening! So don't turn your back to me now!" After saying this, Xiao Jinglin jumped into her carriage.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
When the carriage was halfway through, Xiao Jinglin struggled for a long time before Ren Yaoqi said with a blank face, "Do you know how the history of King Wu of Yin and King You of Zhou came to an end?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a while, wondering why Xiao Jinglin would suddenly talk about this, but just as he was about to answer, Xiao Jinglin sighed and continued: "The bloody lessons in the history books have taught us a truth, don't be easily taken for granted. Bewitched by beauty, tears of beauty, tomb of heroes!"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
I felt that I already knew Xiao Jinglin's Ren Yaoqi very well. After thinking about it all the way, I just didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Jinglin's words. In the final analysis, the two have very different definitions of "beauty" and "hero".
After walking from the southern suburbs to the Hot Spring Villa for more than half an hour, after the carriage entered the Hot Spring Villa, the three got off the carriage.
Ren Yaoqi looked around and said with a smile: "Isn't the Double Ninth Festival going to go out and climb high? Where is the height of Hot Spring Villa?"
Xiao Jingxi smiled when he heard the words, raised his finger and pointed to the southwest direction: "Isn't it there?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced in the direction Xiao Jingxi pointed, and was slightly taken aback.
To the southwest of Hot Spring Villa is a tall tower with nine floors. It is called "Zhixing Tower" by the people of Yunyang City, and it can be seen from a long distance. Ren Yaoqi also saw this tower when he came to the Hot Spring Villa before, but it is said that the "Zhaixing Tower" is a forbidden place in the Hot Spring Villa, and it is guarded and cannot be approached.
Ren Yaoqi heard other ladies and wives talk about it before. Some people said that the nine-story pagoda was actually a stupa, which enshrined the relics of the Buddha. Others said that the pagoda enshrined the tablets of the ancestors of the Xiao family and the heirlooms of the Xiao family. In the book of war, some people say that there is actually a "national teacher" of Yanbei who is over a hundred years old in the "Zhaixinglou". "Fortune-telling, fortune-telling.
However, looking at Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin's expressions, it doesn't look like there is any big secret in this "Zhaixinglou". It's just a forbidden place after all, and it seems inappropriate as a place for climbing the Double Ninth Festival.
Xiao Jingxi smiled and said indifferently, "It's just an empty building. The reason why people are not allowed to enter is just because the tower is too high and it will be dangerous to go up."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said nothing.
Although Ren Yaoqi had some doubts in her heart, Xiao Jingxi had said so, and she couldn't say anything else.
While the three of them were walking to the southwest, they were talking, and suddenly there was a rustling sound in the grass by the roadside. Ren Yaoqi turned his head and saw that silly girl was poking out from a bush not far away. When he turned his head, its tail wagged briskly, "Ow!" was about to get out, when Tong He came out of nowhere, and patted its head: "Walk around and get covered in mud, go and follow him. I'm taking a shower!"
The silly girl originally wagged her tail happily, then turned her head and roared fiercely at Tong He. Now the silly girl is almost the size of an adult tiger. The tiger's roar shocked the birds on the surrounding branches. It flew away, and most people would be so scared that their calves would tremble when they heard it.
Xiao Jingxi walked over, stretched out his hand and flicked a finger on the silly girl's forehead, and said with a half-smile, "You're in good spirits, how many more showers?"
The silly girl who was still exclaiming tiger power a moment ago, hurriedly tilted her head and stepped back, staring at Xiao Jingxi innocently with a pair of big round eyes, her tail wagging more and more flatteringly, where is there a half of the king of the forest climate.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing while watching.
Tong He smiled and said, "This little guy is willing to take a bath obediently when the son is around every time, and he is very good in the garden on weekdays."
Most of the time, silly girl is raised in the hot spring villa. There are many large and small animals in the villa. What silly girl likes to do is to chase the chicken and chase the dog. With the animals in their mouths, they roll around in the grass and play, and when they are happy, they send the cats and dogs back home, and continue to play the next day. The silly girl is now a tyrant in the hot spring villa.
This big tiger is usually majestic and domineering, because everyone in the garden knows that it is Xiao Jingxi's favorite, and no one dares to do anything with it. A "tiger roar" gives a look. But in front of Second Young Master Xiao, it has no temper, and is as good as a big dog.
Xiao Jinglin once laughed at Xiao Jingxi and said that in front of a silly girl, it doesn't matter how much she can pretend! A tiger knows people without looking at them, but smelling them with their noses. It can be seen that you have a wicked smell that goes deep into your bones.
In the end, because of Ren Yaoqi's intercession, silly girl avoided the fate of being arrested and washed for a meal, and happily followed them to the nine-story tower. It's just that this stupid tiger's inferiority is still there. After walking a few steps, he has to learn how to chase a cat, chase a fly, flutter a butterfly, play with its tail, and count it as the happiest one to amuse itself along the way.
There were people guarding outside the ninth-story tower, but Xiao Jingxi was there. When the three of them entered, the guards didn't even raise their eyes, but Apple Hongying and the others were left outside.
Ren Yaoqi looked at it from a distance before, and felt that the tower was very high, and it must be very narrow when entering the tower. But when I went in, I found that every floor was very spacious, and the first floor was empty and there was nothing. There is a square table on the second floor, and there is a chessboard on the table. On the chessboard is a rare chess game.
From the third floor, a high-rise tower appeared, the roof surrounded the wall and filled the whole house, even the windows were blocked. The light in the tower was very dim. The oil lamp came, and as he went up the stairs, he turned to pay attention to the people behind him.
Ren Yaoqi was still a little curious about this mysterious tower in the world, so she looked at it as she walked, and she was still guessing whether there would be any spectacle on the next floor, but unfortunately it went all the way to the eighth All you can see are bookshelves.
Fortunately, the skylights on the four sides of the eighth floor were not blocked, and light came in, and the tower was instantly bright.
Xiao Jingxi blew out the oil lamp in his hand and put it in a dark compartment beside the stairs.
Ren Yaoqi was about to turn his head to talk to Xiao Jinglin, but found that Xiao Jinglin was gone.
"Jinglin?" Ren Yaoqi shouted, and the voice kept echoing in the tower, and she was surprised that there were seven or eight echoes.
"This tower is actually called the 'Echo Tower'." Xiao Jingxi's voice sounded beside him, and there was an echo.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the person who was close at hand, and his heart jumped.
When she went upstairs before, no one spoke. She kept paying attention to her feet. She heard footsteps behind her, so she thought Xiao Jinglin was following her. Now that she thought about the footsteps she heard before, it might be an echo.
