Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

On the way back, there were a few small stalls scattered far away.

Almost all the items sold are special items of the Qiqiao Festival, such as snacks, crispy candies, and sugar figurines.

The two men were still arguing about their wishes. Jingzhi walked and stopped along the way, bought a few boxes of snacks, saying that they were for the little turtle.

Cao Lu's eyes softened and he shut up.

Forget it, don't bother her.

It’s impossible to start a quarrel alone, so Zhu Jiu took the things in Jingzhi’s hand and squeezed to her right.

The two followers had followed them silently a few minutes ago. Caolu just followed them with his chest crossed and did not step forward to compete with them.

Jingzhi looked down at the lonely figure reflected on the ground, frowned, took Zhu Jiu's hand, and silently quickened his pace.

"Let's go faster. I miss home."

Zhu Jiu secretly bit her cheek, and quietly squeezed her tiger's mouth with his clasped hands, "Are you missing home, or are you thinking about something else..."

Jingzhi lowered her head, carefully looking at the gravel road under her feet, and muttered softly:

"I miss everything. I don't want to go to work. I also miss Xigui a little bit. It's so pitiful for that kid to stay at home alone."

Zhu Jiu's grip tightened. Jingzhi raised his hand, which was almost shaped like a chicken claw, and suddenly laughed awkwardly:

"Hehe, of course, I miss you guys the most. Let's go back tonight and have a drink and chat together. Ah Zheng had a terrible time when he came to our place before. It was a weird experience. I'll tell you about it later when I get back."

"Jingzhi..."

Caolu called out, and Jingzhi turned around. She thought he didn't like her bringing up his embarrassing moments, so she smiled at him and stuck out her tongue.

"You don't want me to talk more?"

"No, we're here. If we go any further we'll bump into it." He raised his sword finger, and a ripple-shaped barrier suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The sword finger slid down, and the barrier cracked.

She had been involved in this before, and it was the first time she saw Cao Lu perform this kind of sleight of hand, and she was a little surprised.

After the three of them entered, the barrier automatically disappeared.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary thatched hut.

Jingzhi looked back at the four-entry door, touched his chin and asked.

"Ajiu, isn't this similar to the space folding technology used in your ring?"

"Similarity, I will discuss this with him again in the future." He said that he and Caolu got along well. In other words, Caolu was a technical geek in ancient times.

The two tech geeks can chat with each other a lot.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Shall I go put the movie screen in the pavilion?" Zhu Jiu asked.

"Okay! Then I'll go call Xigui!" She took the snack box from Zhu Jiu and said with a smile.

Cao Lu raised his hand to refuse and pointed to the sky, "He went to bed early and it's getting late now. You can give him the snacks you bought for him tomorrow."

Forced to go to bed early, the little turtle silently closed the door that was opened a crack.

Forget it, I won’t go out.

Anyway, he still has one level of the game to pass.

……

The stars are twinkling and the breeze is blowing.

The three people leaning against the gazebo watching a movie and drinking beer looked like parents who were having a night out without telling their children.

In order to suit the occasion, the domineering boss Zhu Jiu chose a romance movie tonight, which has a melodramatic and romantic plot.

Jingzhi complained as he watched, while Caolu was quite amazed.

"Why is this illusion cloth so big? It's much bigger than the illusion boxes I've seen before."

Jingzhi turned around holding the beer bottle, gently rubbed his cheek, and said with a smile:

"Alas, if you weren't in such a hurry to find Xigui and the others, I would definitely take you to see more of the world. But who could have thought that you would come back here so soon..."

Cao Lu stared at her face for a few seconds, then suddenly said in a straight-man manner: "You haven't answered my question yet. Don't you know how to answer it, so you secretly changed the subject?"

Is there any need to do it secretly?

She was openly changing the subject.

Jingzhi: "...Tsk, I just don't understand. If you have any technical questions, go ask Ah Jiu."

Zhu Jiu was happy to see Cao Lu making a fool of himself. He supported his head with a smile and didn't say much.

"I said something wrong, so you are angry with me?" Caolu moved closer to Jingzhi and looked at her expression.

Jingzhi raised the bottle and took a sip, "Why should I be angry with you? Let's go watch a movie."

Zhu Jiu: Caolu, ah Caolu, you are angry now. I want to see how you can coax you back.

Caolu blinked, said "oh", and turned back to study the curtain. It was obvious that the curtain attracted him more than the plot.

Zhu Jiu: That’s it?

Caolu, you are finished.

With a click, the wine bottle was placed back on the stone table neither lightly nor heavily. Her hands were free, and Cao Lu handed her a handful of melon seeds he had just peeled.

Jingzhi's expression froze, and she bent her fingers to catch the melon seeds that were about to slip off. She raised her eyebrows, picked up a small handful, and put it in her mouth to chew.

Zhu Jiu: ...Humph! He hit the jackpot by accident.

Before he could observe for a while, half a handful of melon seeds were brought to his mouth. When he looked up, a hint of cunning flashed in Jingzhi's eyes.

Zhu Jiu understood instantly.

I'm sorry, Brother Caolu.

This was her instruction.

Zhu Jiu opened his mouth and ate the melon seeds in her palm, then he pinched her wrist and pulled her to sit in his arms.

Caolu finally stopped studying the curtain.

His eyes glanced directly at the two of them, and the melon seed shells in his palms were crushed into pieces by him. The air was filled with the aroma of roasted nuts.

Zhu Jiu began to smell a sour smell.

Caolu: "...We agreed not to be partial."

Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows. Finally, these words did not come from my mouth.
