Chapter 350 Similar habits (two chapters in one)
In a room on the second floor of the beautiful and elegant villa, the pretty Qin Muqing was wearing a bellyband embroidered with lotus patterns, leaning sideways and raising and lowering her arms. Placed on the chest.
A head of glossy black hair was spread out on the bed, her eyes were closed, her red lips were breathing evenly, and she slept very quietly.
"Chirping..."
The crisp sound of birdsong came into the room from the window. The sleeping Qin Muqing's eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Ha~"
Yawned and stretched out his slender white arms from the thin quilt.
Raising his hand and rubbing his eyes, the sleepy Qin Muqing sat up.
The thin quilt covering her body slipped from her curvy body, and in an instant, there was a bright spring scenery.
After waking up, Qin Muqing got up and got out of bed, took off the clothes hanging on the hangers and put them on, covering up all the alluring spring light that was revealed.
After getting dressed, she came to the dressing table and sat down, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she raised her hand and touched her fair and rosy face.
Then she opened the drawer of the dresser and took out a small, ordinary cloth bag.
Qin Muqing poured out a round jade bead the size of a pigeon egg from the small cloth bag. While activating the spiritual weapon in her hand, she whispered to herself at a volume that only she could hear.
"Mr. Lin has been away for two days and has not come back yet. Nothing will happen to him, right?"
After a while, Qin Muqing's beautiful face disappeared, her appearance was ordinary. Unsurprisingly, she walked out of the room and walked to the first floor of the villa.
Breakfast is very simple, white rice porridge with pickles, a steamed bun and eggs.
After breakfast, Qin Muqing came to the courtyard of the villa, holding a kettle in her hand to water some flowers in the courtyard.
The owner who built this villa before had quite good taste. He had many good varieties of flowers planted in the courtyard of the villa.
Unfortunately, he hired someone to carefully design and build this villa. Before he could move in and enjoy it, he sold it to the next owner. The various flowers planted in the courtyard were at a cost to others.
Although the flowers planted in the courtyard are far less rare than those planted in Qin Muqing's home garden, she is a flower lover herself, and the flowers planted in the courtyard will not be because the varieties are not rare enough. , and look down upon them.
"Chirping..."
On a leafy tree not far away, there were several birds standing on the branches, looking at Qin Muqing who was watering the flowers in the courtyard. They jumped around on the branches and screamed.
Qin Muqing, who was watering the flowers, turned to look at the place where the chirping of birds came from. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she smiled and said to the chirping birds, "You were the one who woke me up just now, right?" ! ”
As for these birds living on the big trees in the courtyard, although they were chirping and annoying, Qin Muqing did not think about driving them away.
Now that she lives alone in the house, it feels a little deserted. There are so many noisy birds, which can make the house look lively.
"Miss Qin."
Qin Muqing was looking at the chirping birds when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her, and she immediately turned her head to look.
Looking through the iron fence of the villa wall, I saw Sister Zhang, who was selling box lunches, standing outside the wall and saying hello to me.
"Sister Zhang, didn't you come out at noon? Why did you leave the stall so early today?" Qin Muqing asked in confusion as he walked towards the gate of the villa.
Because the construction workers who are building houses nearby have to go home to eat in the evening, Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches, only sells one meal for lunch.
But it was early in the morning, and it was obviously not yet time for Sister Zhang, the lunch seller, to go out to sell lunch boxes. As for teaching Qin Muqing how to cook, the scheduled teaching time was not at this time.
Opening the door of the villa, Sister Zhang, who sold box lunches, and her trolley appeared in front of Qin Muqing. At this time, she explained to Qin Muqing.
"I got up early today to sell breakfast. I just sold out. I stopped by to see you... By the way, Miss Qin, have you had breakfast? If not, I left a breakfast for myself, okay. I’ll give you half of it,” Sister Zhang, the box lunch seller, said with a smile.
"Thank you, no need, I've already had breakfast..." Qin Muqing shook her head and said.
"Okay, then I'll go home and prepare lunch for lunch, and I'll teach you how to cook later." Sister Zhang, who sells lunch boxes, said.
Qin Muqing said "hmm" and watched Sister Zhang, who was selling box lunches, pushing her trolley away.
"Sister Zhang is really working hard! This is the life of ordinary people... If I had not met Mr. Lin, my situation would have been more difficult than that of Sister Zhang."
Qin Muqing watched Looking at Sister Zhang who was getting further and further away, she couldn't help but sigh. She didn't look back until Sister Zhang disappeared around the corner at the end of the road while pushing her trolley.
Next, taking advantage of the bright sunshine today, she was going to wash the clothes she changed into when taking a shower yesterday.
I used to keep my fingers clean at home, but now I run away from home. Not only do I have to wash my own clothes, but I also have to cook my own meals. Although I am a little tired, this is my own choice.
.........
Lin Li ate a lot of breakfast at the teahouse, and after filling his stomach, he planned to leave.
The waiter who received the fifty copper coins from Lin Li as a reward sent him to the door of the tea house very enthusiastically.
After leaving the teahouse, he was about to go to the oyster restaurant to buy another batch of pearls. At this time, Lin Li suddenly saw many strong men riding horses on the street with weapons on their backs.
“Give way and stay out of the way.”
"Driving..."
Passers walking on the street saw the man on horseback running fast and immediately dodge to both sides of the street for fear of being hit.
The strong men on horseback who ran past Lin Li were either in a team of two or three, or in a team of four or five, or even more, a team of more than a dozen people.
The members of these teams carrying weapons, riding horses, and running quickly toward the city gate were obviously not ordinary people.
“So many people went treasure hunting again today!” The waiter said in surprise as he looked at the leaving teams.
Lin Li heard what the waiter next to him said, and immediately turned to look at him and asked doubtfully, "What treasure hunting?"
"Sir, you don't know about treasure hunting?"
"I don't know."
"The thing is like this, a few days ago, there was When a caravan passed by Bibo Lake outside the city, they saw the alien beast White Scale Drilling Rat on the shore of Bibo Lake.
After this incident spread, many practitioners immediately formed a treasure hunt. The team went to look for the white-scaled gopher’s nest around Bibo Lake.”
The waiter's explanation did not make Lin Li understand how the white-scaled gopher had anything to do with treasure hunting, so he asked more. Then, the waiter explained the white-scaled gopher again.
After some understanding, Lin Li finally understood what treasure hunting was all about. The white-scaled gopher is a herbivorous beast. It is less aggressive than other strange beasts and is generally not strong. It poses a relatively low threat to humans.
The meat of this strange beast is a bit sour and not tasty, so no one would think of hunting it for food.
Logically speaking, no one would want to deal with this kind of alien beast that is not tasty and poses a low threat.
But many years ago, a practitioner who was not very strong and only had a first-level high-level cultivation was hunting strange beasts in the wild. He accidentally discovered a nest of white-scaled gophers.
He found a large number of spiritual stone mines of different sizes in this nest.
Later, this cultivator swept away the spiritual stone mines in the white-scaled gopher's nest and brought them back to the city to sell them. The harvest was converted into spiritual stones, about five hundred. This cultivator The person made a fortune directly.
After some people’s research, everyone knows that strange beasts like white-scaled burrowing rats may encounter spiritual stone mines buried underground when they burrow into the ground.
When they encounter these spiritual stone mines, they will take them back to their nests and store them in case they need to use them in the future.
It is precisely because of this habit that as long as someone discovers traces of white-scaled gopher activities somewhere and spreads the word, it will develop into a lively scene of a large group of practitioners searching for treasures.
After Lin Li learned about this matter, he couldn't help but think about it.
“The squirrels on Blue Star like to store food in their nests for emergencies.
The white-scaled burrowing squirrel in the spirit world likes to store food in its own nests. There is a spirit stone mine in the nest.
Although the species are different, the behaviors are really similar... quite interesting. ”
…………
Bibo Lake is located east of Dongwucheng, about twenty kilometers away.
A group of practitioners on horseback rushed out from the gate of Dongwu City and ran non-stop towards their destination.
As far as the eye can see, except for a person wearing a black training suit who is walking to the destination, everyone else is working in a team.
After Lin Li knew that if he found the white-scaled gopher's nest, he could harvest a lot of spiritual stone mines, he thought about it and decided to join in the fun.
After asking about the approximate location of Bibo Lake, he immediately left the city and walked on foot.
Although Lin Li asked clearly about the approximate location of Bibo Lake, after leaving Dongwu City, he saw a vast wilderness in front of him.
There are no signposts on the road, so it is easy to get lost. It is better to find a group and follow.
So, Lin Li chose a three-person team as his guide and followed the team from a distance.
"Brother, there is a guy behind us who has been following us since we left the city. Doesn't he want to do harm to us?" A man with long hair looked back at the figure behind him, He said to his companions.
"He is only one person. If he really wants to do something bad to us, then don't blame us for being rude to him..." The leading bald man looked back and said nonchalantly.
"Brother, that's true, but it's really annoying to be followed by this guy all the time." Another man with short hair said.
"..." The leading bald man thought for a while, and it was indeed true. After all, in this wilderness, being followed by someone like this would make any person murmur in his heart, and it is inevitable that he would have some thoughts. Feelings of dissatisfaction.
"Huh..."
Pulling the reins in his hand, the leading bald man stopped the horse under his crotch.
Upon seeing this, his two companions immediately pulled the reins in their hands, causing the horse to stop.
Lin Li regarded the three-person team in front of him as his guide, keeping a certain distance and following them from a distance.
At this time, seeing the other party suddenly stop, Lin Li also immediately slowed down the pace of following, then stopped, watching from a distance, waiting for the navigation team to continue setting off.
"Trouble..." The man with long hair saw Lin Li stopping and standing in the distance to watch. He immediately cursed, "Brother, that guy also stopped. It looks like, He is planning to follow us."
"It's fine if this guy doesn't even have a weapon. Is he seeking death by following us?" said the man with short hair.
The leading bald man looked at Lin Li who was standing in the distance. He saw that Lin Li was young and had no weapons on him. He was not worried about what kind of threat such a person would pose to them.
However, being followed like this all the time makes me feel panicked. If I don’t solve this problem, how can I go on a treasure hunt happily?
"Come with me to meet this guy." said the leading bald man.
Then, he swung the reins in his hands, drove the mount under his crotch, and ran towards Lin Li, who was standing and watching in the distance.
Seeing this, his two younger brothers immediately drove their mounts to follow their elder brother.
"Huh?" Lin Li saw the navigation team running towards him. He did not choose to turn around and leave, but still stood there, wanting to see what the navigation team wanted to do.
"Xu..."
The leading bald man came six or seven meters in front of Lin Li, pulled the reins in his hands, stopped the horse under his crotch, and followed behind him The younger brother separated to the left and right and stopped at a certain distance.
Looking at the postures of these three men, we can know that they have combat experience.
"Hey, you guy, why are you following us?" Before the bald man in the lead could say anything, the man with long hair, who was already very dissatisfied with being followed, took the lead to question Lin Li. Yes, the tone is very unkind.
Lin Li saw that the other party's attitude was so unfriendly, so naturally he would not give him a friendly attitude.
“I happen to be walking in this direction, and you are in front of me. How can I be asked to follow you?”
The man with long hair listened to Lin Li’s explanation. , said angrily, "You are sophistry."
Lin Li shrugged, showing an indifferent attitude, "If you think so, then there is nothing I can do."
"You..." The man with long hair was stunned for a moment. , I don’t know how to deal with Lin Li’s indifferent attitude.
At first, he thought that the guy following him would make some arguments when faced with his questioning, but he never expected that the other person just explained lightly and then stopped arguing, which made him feel angry. Nowhere to spread.
"Okay, you said you didn't follow us, so you should leave now." Seeing that his companion's face turned red with anger, the man with short hair immediately said to Lin Li.
"I'm a little tired after running all the way. I need to take a rest now and go again later." Lin Li said as he raised his hand and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
"..." The man with short hair was speechless when he saw Lin Li's false performance, and the anger in his heart was immediately aroused.
The bald man, who had been silent and said little, saw his two companions being made angry by Lin Li.
He knew that he had to say something, otherwise, his two companions would not be able to help but attack the young man in front of him.
