Chapter 66: Can Mr. Clown also write love letters (5)
Chu Xiang unexpectedly did not respond. The two puppets lay back on the ground boringly, motionless. They were really no different from ordinary puppets.
Fred was unwilling to give in, "Don't you have anything you want?"
Chu Xiang thought for a while, "Yes."
"What do you want?"
"I want a little flower."
Fred said: "Is it coming from the top of the mountain, which can prove that you have spring flowers that are more beautiful than everything in the world, or is it coming from the bottom of the deep sea, which can prove that you are more precious than the pearls in the ocean." Jasmine?”
Chu Xiang sat on the grass, holding his face in his hands, his bright eyes filled with smiles, "Neither."
He looked surprised, "Are there any flowers that I don't know about that are harder to find?"
Just like many women in this era, they want gentlemen to give them hard-to-find gems or flowers that grow in desperate places. These are the best gifts that can prove their charm.
Among nobles, it is also a fashion to give gifts like this.
Chu Xiang glanced around and pointed at an unknown purple flower growing by the lake, "I want that, Mr. Fred, give me that."
It was just an ordinary little flower that could be seen everywhere. Children might pick a few out of fun when passing by, but a qualified gentleman would never pick such an ordinary flower and give it to a lady.
Fred thought he heard wrongly, "You want this?"
"Yes, I want this."
Fred felt that she had been tricked. It was just that the desire in her heart had not been aroused, but she was still playing with herself with a wild flower.
It had been a long time since he had experienced frustration. Staring at the leisurely and contented Chu Xiang, he was actually bored with her current attitude as if nothing was wrong.
Fred moved his fingers, and the two puppets lying on the ground stood up again. They slowly approached from behind, with evil smiles on their stiff faces.
Chu Xiang knew nothing about the danger behind it. She said: "What you said can fulfill my wish, doesn't it count now?"
"It's just a wild flower. You can pick it yourself." If Fred didn't accept her move, she wouldn't be able to trick herself.
Chu Xiang said: "But the flowers you picked have completely different meanings from the flowers I picked myself."
Fred held his chin with one hand, and a careless smile appeared on his funny face, "What's different?"
Lina and Thor showed sharp knives in their hands, and behind her back, the tip of the knife bloomed with cold light.
"If I picked it myself, it would be just an ordinary wild flower, but if you picked it and gave it to me, then it would be a gem more precious than the sunshine in winter."
Chu Xiang came close to him, her bent eyes turned into beautiful crescents, and the flickering light spots in them were also so lively and lively. The strong and warm emotions revealed from her body dyed the forest covered with tree shades. A bit higher temperature.
"Because you are the one I like!"
Fred's eyes paused slightly, and the two puppets behind him also stopped moving.
The wind in the forest blew, and the grass and wild flowers swayed together with the rustling of falling leaves. A strand of black hair moved gently with the wind, kissing his funny face, and then, his whole body was filled with excitement. The itch of control.
"Xiangxiang!"
"Xiangxiang!"
"Where have you been!"
The sound of her parents looking for someone came from outside the forest. Chu Xiang stood up belatedly. She patted the dust on her skirt and said to him: "I have to go. I'm very happy to see you today. Fu See you next time, Mr. Reed.”
Just as suddenly as she came, she ran out quickly and urgently, and soon she disappeared. Fred picked up a small object on the ground.
This is a gadget that fell out of Chu Xiang's bag.
Lina came closer, "What is this?"
Thor said: "Is this a seed?"
Lina asked innocently: "Can the seeds be eaten?"
Thor: "I don't know, can the seeds be eaten?"
They raised their heads together, their eyes full of curiosity falling on the adult.
Fred stuffed the seed into his mouth and took a bite. Then he spat it out with a "bah bah bah" sound. His face wrinkled into a strange shape, and the makeup on his face became even more distorted.
Probably because the smell was really unpleasant, he curled up and lay on the ground, grabbed a handful of small purple wild fruits and stuffed them into his mouth. Looking up, he could see the worthless wild flowers growing by the lake, and he muttered depressedly. , "How strange."
Thor said: "He said the seeds tasted strange."
Lina slapped Thor on the head, "Stupid!"
Chu Xiang and his parents worked hard for a long time, and finally sprinkled the seeds on the newly cultivated land.
It often rains in the Town of Rain, and the land is too wet. Weeds and trees grow wildly, but for some unknown reason, the food production is getting less and less every year.
Even if the local people offer more sacrifices to the goddess of spring on the day of the Grain Festival, it is useless. When they encounter problems that cannot be solved by human power, they go to the illusory gods to pray for solutions to the problems. This has been the case throughout the ages and at home and abroad. There's quite a bit of commonality.
The locals believe in the goddess, so they are quite critical of the town mayor inviting outsiders to manage the land. Although the locals do not dare to do anything to foreigners under the pressure of the town mayor, they do not want to do anything to foreigners. It's just too cooperative.
It rained at dusk, so all work had to be suspended.
A tall young man came over with an umbrella, stood on the field ridge and stretched out his hand, "Miss Chu, come and take shelter from the rain first."
Chu Xiang was pulled up by him. She wiped the rain off her face, took the umbrella handed over by the other party, and said with a smile: "Thank you."
The young man smiled sheepishly.
His name is Andrew, and he works for Chu Zhao. He has an honest and honest personality, and he is not like other employed people who always want to be lazy at work.
Chu Zhao and Su Su still had to do some finishing work, so they asked Andrew to send Chu Xiang back first.
To be honest, Chu Xiang didn't want to ride in a carriage at all, but the conditions here were like this. Even if he had money, it would be impossible to transform into a car.
Andrew was driving outside, and Chu Xiang leaned in the car. The nauseous feeling came up again. She opened the window slightly, and the air with the smell of rain, mist and earth came in, and she felt better.
The streets were very noisy.
Many people held umbrellas and carried oil lamps when night fell, gathering together in twos and threes, as if looking for someone.
Chu Xiang curiously asked Andrew outside, "What happened?"
"The Orton children are missing."
Chu Xiang: "Children of the Oton family?"
"It's the Orion family. Their son was found missing this morning. At first, everyone thought that the child had gone nearby for fun, but now the child has not appeared. They are worried that something happened."
