New Return of the Pearl: A Different Qing Er

"No way! He bought the entire stall!" Xiaoyanzi was really shocked by this, it was indeed a big deal!

"Never mind! We'll just wear these for a few days and look fancy!" Ziwei said.

"Qing'er, Ziwei, please pick out what you like." Xiaoyanzi said quickly.

"That's strange. Why isn't the hairpin that Song Qing saw this morning? " Xiaoyanzi searched everywhere but couldn't find the hairpin that Song Qing had taken a fancy to before.

"Maybe someone bought them! It doesn't matter, these are pretty good too." Song Qing thought those two were indeed the best in this stall, but they were not here now. But it didn't matter, these were also okay.

Several people were looking at the jewelry in the room with great interest. Benjamin, who was walking in the doorway, saw the jewelry on the table and walked in with a somewhat dejected look on his face. "It looks like someone has moved all the jewelry on the stall here. It's a pity to have two missing. Let me help you make up the difference."

It turned out that Benjamin later secretly went to buy the hairpin that Xiaoyanzi liked, but he didn't expect Yongqi to move the stall back.

Before anyone could say anything, Benjamin left.

In the evening, after Song Qing finished her meal, she sat in the house to rest.

Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door.

"Qing'er, are you there?" It turned out to be Ertai.

Song Qing opened the door, looked at Ertai outside and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Did you miss me?" The two of them often joked like this since they got together.

Ertai also answered very smoothly, "Yes, I missed you, so I came to see you." Then he took Song Qing's hand and walked into the house.

The two sat at the table. Ertai took out a handkerchief from his clothes. There was something wrapped in the handkerchief. He handed it directly to Song Qing. "Open it and take a look." Ertai looked at Song Qing and said.

"What? Why are you so mysterious?" Song Qing took the handkerchief and opened it. It turned out to be the two hairpins she had seen in front of the stall today. No wonder they were not in the pile today! It turned out that Ertai had bought them!

"I didn't even notice when you bought it." Song Qing said with a smile.

"I bought it very quickly when you went to see the climbing flower poles, so you didn't notice it." Ertai said truthfully.

"So that's the case. Please wear it for me!" Song Qing handed the hairpin in her hand to Ertai.

Ertai had never put a hairpin on a girl before, so he was a little at a loss as to how to start for a moment. However, fortunately, he managed to put it on Song Qing with great reluctance.

"Does it look good?" Song Qing shook her head as she spoke.

"It looks good! Very good looking!" Ertai answered Song Qing's question very seriously.

But she didn’t know if it was Song Qing’s illusion, she always felt that Ertai’s answer was not about whether the hairpin was beautiful or not, but about her!

After the two chatted for a while, Ertai left.

Fire Festival

As they were on their way, they happened to see a group of people bowing around a campfire on the road. Not only that, there were also some people in strange clothes, wearing ghost masks, and dancing a strange dance.

When Song Qing saw this scene, the dead memories in her mind suddenly awakened. Today was the day when the emperor was assassinated. There were many assassins among these people. What should she do later? Must Ziwei be stabbed? But she couldn't save Ziwei!

Song Qing suddenly became anxious. She had never experienced an assassination before, so it was normal for her to be afraid. Besides, the situation would be very chaotic soon. What should she do? The uneasiness in her heart made her subconsciously approach Ertai.

Ertai was always paying attention to Song Qing. Suddenly, he found that Song Qing looked a little nervous and suddenly approached him. He felt a little strange and asked, "Qing'er, what's wrong? Why do you feel so uneasy?"

Song Qing lowered her voice and said to Ertai, "Someone will assassinate the emperor soon, and Ziwei almost died in order to protect the emperor from the knife."

Ertai was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that someone would assassinate the emperor in a short while. However, he couldn't tell Emin and Fuheng directly that this was Song Qing's secret. What should he do?

"These people are hiding among the people. They are members of the White Lotus Sect. If a fight breaks out later, you must try to save Ziwei. She will be seriously injured this time!" Song Qing still decided to let Ertai save Ziwei. After all, this injury was no joke. What if her arrival affected the plot and caused Ziwei to get into trouble?

Seeing that Song Qing was really worried, Erkang had no choice but to agree.

Erkang in front also found out the reason for the parade, which was the local fire-roasting festival. However, the more he looked at the parade, the more it looked like a religious pilgrimage!

Xiaoyanzi and the others were still thinking about joining in the fun, but Ertai quietly walked up to Emin and Fuheng and said, "There will be too many people soon. Qing'er said she's worried about a stampede, so we still have to increase the guard." Ertai couldn't say it explicitly, but he still had to remind them.

Led by Xiaoyanzi, the crowd approached the fire. "This custom of roasting away all diseases is usually held on the 16th day of the first lunar month. I didn't expect that Qijiang Town would hold such an event at the end of the year. It must be a way to say goodbye to the old." Master Ji, the know-it-all, came online again and told some knowledge about roasting away all diseases.

"We should also warm ourselves by the fire and fight some ghosts, to prevent me from getting hurt and being bullied all the time." Little Swallow rushed forward.

Seeing this, Yongqi hurriedly shouted, "Xiaoyanzi, you are fighting against the fire, and you dare to run to the fire. Wait for me." Then he rushed over. Benjamin was also very worried and hurried over.

Everyone found it funny to see Xiaoyanzi roasting herself by the fire, except Song Qing and Ertai who were very worried about what would happen next.

Some people in the crowd spotted Benjamin and said, "I didn't expect a foreigner to come and warm himself by the fire." Xiaoyanzi wanted to go up to him and argue with him, "Who are you talking about? Who is the ghost? My friend is a god, not a ghost." She was about to go up to him.

Benjamin quickly stopped Xiaoyanzi and said, "Xiaoyanzi, don't make a fuss." Unfortunately, he couldn't stop Youyou from talking. Everyone was still talking, and Xiaoyanzi couldn't help but step forward to argue.

Benjamin and Yongqi were both trying to stop Xiaoyanzi. At this time, several men with ghost faces came forward and dispersed Xiaoyanzi and the others.

Not only that, the ghost-faced man also came to the emperor's side and tried to take them to warm themselves by the fire. Fu Heng, E Min and other martial artists were taken away, leaving only Ziwei, Song Qing and the emperor standing.

Danger was imminent. Just when Song Qing was worried, a man with a ghost face holding a dagger suddenly rushed up. Fortunately, the emperor reacted quickly and resisted the attack.

Among the crowd, the ghost-faced men seemed to have received an order and rose up one after another, throwing torches at the emperor and the others.

Fortunately, several people escaped narrowly. Ertai quickly ran to Song Qing and helped Song Qing avoid the attack of the ghost-faced man.

The crowd fought with the ghost-faced man and the scene was extremely chaotic.
