Sensing Ren Yaoqi's gaze, Xiao Jingxi was overjoyed, and the smiling face made people unable to take their eyes off it.

Xiao Jinglin coughed lightly, looked sideways at Xiao Jingxi and said, "It's getting late, let's go, otherwise we won't be able to come back in the afternoon."

Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

Xiao Jinglin said before that she was going out for an outing today, and she thought it was near Tianqing Mountain, but from what Xiao Jinglin said, it seemed that the place she was going to was quite far away.

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi.

Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "Go to the Hot Spring Villa, I have someone make some big kites, and I can't let them fly here."

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being a little embarrassed when she heard the words, she naturally likes to play with Xiao Jinglin, but this climbing meeting was prepared by Madam Xu and her mother, it doesn't matter if she leaves for a while, it's not good if she doesn't show up all the time.

As if knowing what Ren Yaoqi was in trouble for, Xiao Jinglin said: "I already greeted Mr. Ouyang when I went to find you. Mr. She knows my temperament best. Don't worry, she will cover it up for you."

Ren Yaoqi felt a little strange, but she couldn't tell where the strangeness was for a while, but she still hesitated.

Xiao Jing paused and said suddenly, "I drew the kite."

"Ah?" Ren Yaoqi blinked, looked at Xiao Jingxi, but didn't react for a while.

"I drew the kite." Xiao Jingxi repeated.

Although he was still smiling, his eyes were dimmed, and he whispered again: "Aren't you going?"

Ren Yaoqi's face turned red, she wanted to say that today is really inconvenient, she just left like this, but when the words came to her lips, she met Xiao Jingxi's eyes for some reason but couldn't say anything , when she said the word "go" inexplicably, even she was stunned.

Her voice was not loud, but Xiao Jingxi could hear it clearly. The corners of his lips curled into a happy arc, and the gloomy look in his eyes before was immediately wiped out by the light that broke through the clouds in an instant.

Xiao Jinglin turned her head away as if she couldn't bear to look directly, and snorted coldly in her heart.

Ren Yaoqi bit her lip, she felt that she must have been bewitched just now. It's just that now that she has agreed, she has no regrets anymore, so she can only turn around and get on the carriage, but she never dares to look at Xiao Jingxi again.

Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi to get into the carriage first, and after Ren Yaoqi got into the carriage, she looked Xiao Jingxi up and down with contempt in her eyes and said, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Xiao Jingxi was in a happy mood. Although he knew that Xiao Jinglin must have nothing good to say, he still smiled with a good temper: "What?"

Xiao Jinglin rolled her eyes: "Peacock! The male! It's opening! So don't turn your back on me now!" Leaving this sentence, Xiao Jinglin jumped into her carriage.

Xiao Jingxi: "..."

Halfway through the carriage, Xiao Jinglin struggled for a long time before she said to Ren Yaoqi expressionlessly: "Do you know how the worlds of King Yin Wu and King Zhou You fell apart in history?"

Ren Yaoqi was stunned, wondering why Xiao Jinglin would suddenly talk about this, and was about to answer, but Xiao Jinglin sighed and continued earnestly: "The bloody lessons in the history books have taught us a truth, don't be easily fooled Bewitched by beauty, tears of beauty, grave of heroes!"

Ren Yaoqi: "..."

I feel that I already know Xiao Jinglin's Ren Yaoqi very well, and after thinking about it all the way, I just don't understand the deep meaning of Xiao Jinglin's words. In the final analysis, it is because the two have very different definitions of "beauty" and "hero".

After walking for more than half an hour from the southern suburbs to the Hot Spring Villa, the three of them got out of the carriage after the carriage entered the Hot Spring Villa.

Ren Yaoqi looked around and said with a smile: "Didn't you go out to climb high during the Double Ninth Festival? Where is the high place in the hot spring villa?"

Xiao Jingxi smiled when he heard the words, pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Isn't there?"

Ren Yaoqi glanced in the direction Xiao Jingxi pointed, and was slightly taken aback.

To the southwest of the Hot Spring Villa is a tall tower with nine floors, which is called "Zhaixing Building" by the people of Yunyang City, and it can be seen from a long distance. Ren Yaoqi also saw this tower when she came to Hot Spring Villa before, but it is said that the "Zhaixing Tower" is a forbidden area of ​​Hot Spring Villa, and there are people guarding it, so you can't go near it.

Before Ren Yaoqi, I heard other ladies and wives talking about it. Some people said that the nine-story pagoda was actually a relic pagoda, which enshrined the relics of the Buddha. Some people even say that in the "Zhaixing Tower" there is actually a "National Teacher" of Yanbei who is over a hundred years old. Every time Yanbei goes to war, King Yanbei will come to the "Zhaixing Tower" to invite "National Teacher" "Divination, divination is inauspicious.

But looking at the expressions of Xiao Jingxi and Xiao Jinglin, it doesn't look like there is any big secret in this "Zhaixinglou". It's just that it's a forbidden area after all, and it doesn't seem suitable as a place for climbing on the Double Ninth Festival.

Xiao Jingxi smiled, and said indifferently: "It's just an empty building. The reason why people are not allowed to enter is because the tower is too high and it will be dangerous to go up."

Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, but said nothing.

Although Ren Yaoqi had some doubts in her heart, Xiao Jingxi had already said so, so she couldn't say anything more.

The three of them were walking to the southwest while talking, suddenly there was a rustling sound in the grass by the roadside, Ren Yaoqi turned her head and saw a silly girl protruding from a bush not far away When it turned its head, its tail shook briskly, and it was about to get out with a "woo hoo", when Tong He appeared out of nowhere, and patted its head: "Rolling and getting mud all over, go and follow me!" I take a shower!"

Sha Niu's tail, which was wagging happily at first, paused, then she turned her head and roared ferociously at Tong He. Now Sha Niu is almost the size of an adult tiger, and the roar of the tiger startled the birds on the surrounding branches. Flying away, most people will tremble in their calves when they hear it.

Xiao Jingxi walked over, reached out and flicked a finger on the silly girl's forehead, and said with a half-smile: "You are so energetic, how many more baths?"

The silly girl who was still exuding a tiger's prestige for a moment, quickly turned her head back and looked at Xiao Jingxi innocently with her big round eyes, and her tail behind her was wagging even more flatteringly. climate.

Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing watching from the sidelines.

Tong He laughed at the side and said: "This little guy is willing to take a bath obediently every time you have to be with the young master. He is very good in the garden on weekdays."

Silly girl lives in the hot spring villa most of the time. There are many animals, big and small, in the villa. Silly girl's favorite thing to do is chase chickens and dogs, but she doesn't bite even if she catches up with her. With the animals in their mouths, they rolled and played in the grass, and when they were happy, they sent those cats and dogs back home, and continued to play the next day. Silly girl is now considered a bully in the hot spring villa.

This big tiger is majestic and domineering on weekdays, because everyone in the garden knows that it is Xiao Jingxi's favorite pet, and no one dares to do anything to it. As it gets used to it, it becomes more and more lawless, and it will come when it is not happy. A "tiger roar" gives people a look. But in front of Second Young Master Xiao, it lost all temper and behaved like a big dog.

Xiao Jinglin once laughed at Xiao Jingxi and said that in front of a silly girl, no matter how much she can pretend, it won't work! Tigers don't use their eyes to recognize people, but smell them with their noses. It can be seen that you have a wicked smell that goes deep into your bones.

In the end, because of Ren Yaoqi's intercession, Sha Niu avoided the fate of being arrested and cleaned up, and happily followed them to the nine-story pagoda. It's just that this silly tiger's bad nature is still there. After walking a few steps, it will be like a cat chasing flies and fluttering butterflies and playing with its tail. It is the happiest it entertains itself along the way.

Sure enough, there were guards outside the nine-story pagoda, but Xiao Jingxi was there, and the guards didn't even raise their eyes when the three of them entered together, but Apple Hongying and the others were left outside.

Ren Yaoqi looked at it from a distance before, and felt that the tower was very tall, and it must be very narrow when entering the tower. But when I went in, I found that each floor was very spacious, and the first floor was empty, with nothing in it. There is a square table on the second floor, and there is a chessboard on the table, and a Zhenlong chess game is placed on the chessboard.

Bookshelves appeared from the third floor. The bookshelves were as high as the roof and surrounded the walls and filled the entire room. Even the windows were blocked. The light in the tower was very dim. Where did he find the oil lamp, while going up the stairs, he turned to pay attention to the people behind him.

Ren Yaoqi was still a little curious about this mysterious and mysterious tower in the living population, so she looked at it as she walked, and she was still guessing whether there would be any wonders on the next floor, but it was a pity that she went all the way up to the eighth floor. All you can see are bookshelves.

Fortunately, the skylights on all sides of the eighth floor were not covered, and light came in, instantly brightening the tower.

Xiao Jingxi blew out the oil lamp in his hand, and put it in a dark compartment next to the stairs.

Ren Yaoqi was about to turn her head to talk to Xiao Jinglin, but found that Xiao Jinglin was gone.

"Jinglin?" Ren Yaoqi called out, her voice kept echoing in the tower, and she was startled when there were seven or eight echoes.

"This tower is actually called the 'Echo Tower'." Xiao Jingxi's voice sounded from the side, and there was also an echo.

Ren Yaoqi's heart skipped a beat when she looked at the person who was close at hand.

When she went upstairs, no one spoke. She kept paying attention to her feet and heard footsteps behind her, so she thought Xiao Jinglin followed her. Now that she thought about it, the footsteps she heard might be echoes.
