Chapter 120 Heartbeat
When the lights dimmed and the lanterns were turned on, the street looked like daylight.
Yu Chicheng held Tian Zhinuo's hand and walked through the streets one after another. The pedestrians around him were walking in a hurry, and their ears were surrounded by laughter and shouting.
Finally, he stopped under a peach blossom tree.
The sky is cloudless, the sky is dark blue, the moon is as clear as spring water, and the stars are as dense as a nightmare.
What a peach blossom tree, so graceful.
The night breeze blew slowly, and the petals fell freely, falling quietly on Tian Zino's hair.
Yu Chicheng turned his head to look, and saw the lifelike petals flapping their tails, and reached out to take them off.
However, Tian Zino couldn't care about other things at all, he was already deeply attracted by the scene in front of him.
It is a large facility, with the central hub as the center, surrounded by a circle of wooden horses, and the regular rhythm of the mechanism, forming a dream-like carousel. The colorful wooden horses are illuminated by the candlelight of different colors around them.
The illumination is particularly dreamy.
"Is this... a merry-go-round?" Tian Zhinuo stared at it intently, unwilling to blink.
Yuchi Cheng nodded and explained:
"This project was built by an infatuated man. It is said that the senior had a crush on a woman. He thought that they could stay together forever, but fate was inevitable. Unfortunately, the woman was seriously ill. The man knew that she had always wanted
She wanted to ride a horse, but she couldn't move due to physical reasons, so she designed this carousel so that she wouldn't regret it."
Tian Zhinuo has also heard this story. There are many versions spread to the world, but the final outcome is that the woman dies, and the man passes away soon after. This carousel has since become a major feature of the Central Plains, among which the most
What is most attractive is this sad story.
"I've heard it, and it's said that if a man from the Central Plains likes a girl, needless to say, he just needs to bring her here and she will understand everything." Tian Zhinuo kept looking at the spinning girl when he spoke.
Trojan horse.
When Yu Chicheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and then he noticed that his hand had never let go of her petite palm.
"Can I play?" Tian Zino finally turned her head to him, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
Yuchi Cheng swallowed his saliva subconsciously and nodded dully.
The next moment, Tian Zino naturally released his palm and ran forward, trying to line up before the next round started.
Yuchi Cheng stared at his warm palm for a long time, and it wasn't until Tian Zhinuo shouted his name loudly that he was freed from confusion.
"A Cheng, give me the money~" Tian Zhinuo hid his feet in excitement, turned to look at the boss and pointed at Yu Chicheng and said: "Don't worry, he will give you the money~"
During the whole process of sitting on the wooden horse, Yu Chicheng kept looking at the girl, and gradually realized that his heart was sinking deeper and deeper. It turned out that his feelings for her had really changed unknowingly.
In the past, he thought Qin Buyu was a rogue who talked nonsense, but now after careful consideration, he realized that he himself did not understand love in the world.
"A-Cheng, look!" Tian Zhinuo smiled brightly and pointed at the Kong Ming Lantern flying into the night sky. Every move touched Yuchi Cheng's heartstrings.
This time Yu Chicheng finally saw his own heart clearly.
Tian Zhinuo looked at the carousel with unfinished content, feeling that it was not enough yet, and would like to play again if there was a chance.
"Would you like to do it again?" Yu Chicheng looked at the girl and couldn't bear to move away from there. He was very energetic. Tian Zhinuo shook his head, "Forget it, there are so many people waiting~ Come again when you have a chance~"
Just as he turned around to go back to the inn, he suddenly heard someone calling Tian Zino's name behind him.
The two of them had to turn around and look around. In the crowded market, they could not clearly see where the sound was coming from.
"here!"
"Where is it?" Tian Zino blinked, looking for the figure in the chaotic light.
"There!" Yu Chicheng's eyesight has always been the thing he is most proud of.
Tian Zhinuo looked in the direction where Yu Chicheng pointed, and finally saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.
"Zhao Tingting?!" Tian Zhinuo couldn't believe her eyes.
Not only Zhao Tingting, but also Meng Xiaojie and her brother Zhao Wei were behind her.
Yuchi Cheng also looked shocked, why are they here?
As we got closer, we discovered that they had wrapped themselves tightly, with veils covering their heads, and were very cautious in every move they made.
"Why are you here?!" Tian Zhinuo said in shock. If he hadn't been with them day and night for two years, he wouldn't have recognized them with their appearance.
Zhao Tingting looked around before replying in a low voice: "There are many people here, find a safe place to chat."
Neither Tian Zhinuo nor Yu Chicheng understood why they acted so cautiously, but since they proposed it, they could only agree.
"Come with us to the inn, it's safe there." Yu Chicheng took the lead and led them together.
On the way back, these three people were always on tenterhooks, which was scary to watch.
It wasn't until the door was closed that the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Chicheng went to call his other companions, but only Tian Zhinuo stayed in the same room with the three of them.
"Why are you here? Also, why are you dressed like this? And why do you dare not speak out like thieves?" Tian Zhinuo asked the questions in his heart without hesitation.
Meng Xiaojie was the first to take off her veil, and she answered sweating profusely: "It's a long story!"
"Is there anything to eat? We are going to starve to death!" Zhao Tingting's face was extremely pale and she looked very weak.
Even the young man Zhao Wei's face was sallow, and it seemed that he had not had a good rest for many days.
Tian Zhinuo had no choice but to go downstairs and order some meals for them.
The five people from the second team gathered around the three of them, looking at them like hungry wolves, eating like crazy without saying a word, a little worried.
Finally, Meng Xiaojie put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, raised her head and burped.
Seeing this, Zou Hu immediately asked: "What on earth have you experienced?! And why do I remember that there are five people in your team? Why are there only three of you left?"
Meng Xiaojie drank another large glass of water, smoothed the food that was stuck in her throat, and then said: "They were in trouble. The three of us were lucky enough to escape, but we also hid here and there, and all our belongings were lost."
…Including today, I haven’t eaten for four days.”
Zhao Tingting muttered and nodded in agreement.
"I picked up a few fruits when I passed by a forest this morning, otherwise I would have starved to death!" Meng Xiaojie said with a calm face when talking about these experiences, as if she had become accustomed to them.
"All the misfortune you are experiencing now is due to your past sins! Who told you to always bully Arnold when you were in the academy? Are you being punished now?!" Wanyan Ruojin did not sympathize with them, but felt secretly happy. Obviously,
Meng Xiaojie didn't care about her words, shrugged and said: "Whatever you say, as long as you can give me something to eat, I can accept anything~"
Zou Hu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Oh my god, is this still the pampered young lady?"
Zhao Tingting also put down her chopsticks and started to argue before she could swallow the food in her mouth. This behavior was really indecent. "It's good to be alive! I have experienced what suffering is in the world!"
Tian Zhinuo saw that these two women had changed so much, and was very curious about what they had experienced.
"So why did your companions die? Why did you end up like this?" Yu Chicheng asked this question before Tian Zhinuo did.
Meng Xiaojie wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied seriously: "It's a long story..."
After Meng Xiaojie led her teammates out of Tianci Academy, they did not go anywhere else but directly came to the Demon King's location, Lanxuan Country.
The children who have just come out of the academy are overly ambitious and always feel that they alone can capture the Demon King. However, reality has taught them what it means to be ignorant of the sky and the earth!
After arriving at the capital of Lanxuan Kingdom, I realized what it means to be surrounded by people and mountains beyond mountains.
The monsters here are not as one-sided as they learned in the books, they can even be said to be very powerful.
They encountered obstacles along the way and were injured many times. Over time, they began to doubt their decision to become monster hunters.
It didn't take long for them to realize that it was not just them who came to the Central Plains impulsively, but many students from the college went straight here.
They are not united as one, but they all selfishly want to become the heroes who save Xuzhou.
The Demon King realized that many demon hunters had secretly sneaked into the Central Plains, and ordered his men to vigorously search for them, catching every one they saw.
I thought I was going to die here, but unexpectedly the Demon King took advantage of them and asked them to use some special skills to refine weapons for him.
Meng Xiaojie and her teammates were all caught, but she cleverly used a hidden weapon to escape and successfully rescued the Zhao siblings. The other two teammates were forced to abandon them and ran all the way out of the city after escaping until
Just arrived here today.
On the way here, I accidentally saw a monster that was trying its best to hunt down other monster hunters hiding in the Central Plains. There were even portraits of each of them. Among them, the key target of arrest was the demon Tian Zino!
"Orange?!" Yuchi Cheng's eyes changed.
Zhao Wei finally spoke at this moment, "Yes... you guys don't have portraits, but there is indeed Arnold..."
Tian Zhinuo knew that the Demon King wanted to catch him, and he also knew that Hao knew his appearance and went out of his way to look for him with great fanfare.
The demon king just wanted to use this move to bluff and let Tian Zhinuo show his weakness.
"Are those captured demon hunters still alive?" Tian Zhinuo asked with concern.
"Don't worry, although the Demon King is cunning and moody, it really loves talents and will never waste anyone who is useful to it." Meng Xiaojie reassured.
Zhao Tingting also nodded, "Well, don't worry, the demon hunters who came out of the academy all have special skills, so they won't be in danger for a while. However, we still have to rescue them as soon as possible."
It was strange that these words came from her mouth, and everyone in the second team felt that this was somewhat different from the Zhao Tingting they were familiar with.
