Downhill 33

  Qiu Qiu was deeply absorbed in the sea of books and couldn't extricate herself.

  She cursed inwardly as she flipped through it.

  Don't get me wrong, I'm not scolding others, but scolding myself!

  Pig head! So stupid! Came for so long and didn't even think of going to the library to take a look around!

  Knowledge is power, there are golden houses in books, and there are thousands of grains in books. The ancients did not deceive me.

  Although she hasn't found what she wants to read yet, she has gained a lot. These books talk about the formation of strange realms, how to set them up, how to break them, and how to enter and exit. One book explains it particularly well, very basic and practical. For example, Qiū Qiū had already used the Qiankun bag, she had several, given by her master, senior sister, and Shí'ér. The best one was given by her master, followed by the one given by Shí'ér, while the one from her senior sister could only hold small miscellaneous items, not suitable for holding important things. She also made one herself, which is now hanging on Dà Bái's body. However, hers was a failed product, or at most a semi-finished product.

  Sister didn't have time to explain it in detail at first, but this book is about the basic principles of space utilization, and even later on, there are instructions on how to make simple storage items by hand. It's really practical. And the difficulty level isn't high, materials are easy to find too. Qiuqiu doesn't have any wild ambitions to create a magical treasure overnight, if she can learn to make a relatively successful Kun bag or a ring that can hold things, it would be even better.

  Yes, all this said is indeed not very scientific, but this was never a place for talking science anyway.

  The books here can't be taken out, Qiuqiu understands. She is now in a hurry to flip through the next book, and this one doesn't have time to copy for the time being, so she just writes down the title of the book first, and it's not too late to copy when she comes back.

  There are many good books in the library, and on Xiuyuan Mountain, without others pointing her in the right direction, she can find answers to anything she doesn't understand or know how to do here.

  A streak of light flashed across the top, Qiū Qiū raised her head, and the design of the library was very clever. Although it was sealed, there were high windows. At sunset, you could clearly see the changes in light and shadow. Qiū Qiū stood there for a while, until the sunlight completely disappeared, the walls around gradually lit up with a soft glow, and the warm yellow halo was replaced by a cool blue light, this change was gradual and natural.

  This optical beauty is probably rarely noticed by anyone, and the designer's efforts at the time were in vain.

  Qiu Qiu couldn't help but think of her son.

  There has been no news from her, and I don't know how she is doing now. And what about Master and Senior Sister, where are they?

  A faint and gentle footsteps sound came from behind, Jing Fei suppressed her voice and shouted: "Qiu Qiu?"

  Qiu Qiu was taken aback: "You're also looking for a book?"

  It's getting dark now.

  Jing Fei pulled her out with a glance: "What book are you looking for? I came to find you. You also, quietly ran to this place and stayed for a whole day, what's the urgent book you want to see?"

  "Oh, I think I'll get my own book and take a look."

  "What's difficult about that? We have such books in our place too, I'll go to my master sister's place to find one for you. This place is far and gloomy, normally nobody comes here unless there's something going on."

  Qiu Qiu thanked her for her kindness first, then asked: "What are you looking for me? Is there something?"

  "There is." The two of them left the library, Jing Fei pulling her along as they walked: "There's good news. Tomorrow Big Brother Shifu is going down the mountain, and Sister Shifu is also going together with him. I asked Brother Shifu for half a day, and he said we can also follow them to clear our minds."

  Qiu Qiu didn't seem to think so: "Big Brother Shifu and Jing Lan Shifu are definitely going together for something important, we'd just be getting in the way if we followed them, isn't that right?"

  Don't mention whether it's a mess or not, the key is Jinglan's thoughts. Anyone with a clear mind can see that she has her eyes on Jingyuan. Even if a mosquito wants to get close to him, she'll catch it and examine it carefully to see if it's male or female. This time, they're going down the mountain together, which is perfect for them to spend some quality time alone and develop their feelings. If they go on a long trip, who knows, maybe halfway through, they'll fall in love and get married when they return to the mountain. Jingfei, that silly girl, had to go be a third wheel for someone else. If it were Qiūqiū instead of Jinglan, she wouldn't be so unlucky behind their backs.

  "Oh my, not going far away, just to Heishan Town." Jingfei counted on her fingers: "It's been two years since I last went, there are a lot of things I want to buy. And the town's good food and pastries, thinking about it makes me drool. You definitely haven't had them before? Those freshly fried crispy meatballs, skewered with bamboo sticks and eaten with chopsticks, full of fresh fragrance, tender and juicy..."

  Autumn's sweat is about to come down, this foodie! Delaying someone's romance is a sin.

  "I still need to find books for the next two days, you go by yourself."

  Jing Fei wouldn't let her off so easily: "I'll help you find the book, but it's not just about eating good food. I guarantee that once you go, you'll definitely want to go again next time. Who knows when we'll have another chance to come down the mountain? Let me tell you, it's not just about good food down the mountain. Shifu is going down to deliver a message and also to pay respects to an elder. I've heard that this immortal has high cultivation and is kind-hearted. If we follow him together, who knows, maybe we'll even get some pointers - that would be a wonderful opportunity that's hard to come by even in dreams!"

  When he said this, Qiuqiu's heart was also moved a little.

  She was in Xiuyuan Mountain, and no one specifically pointed her out. Even if Yu Shui Zhenren remembered to ask a question, it wouldn't be enough to scratch the itch. Moreover, Yu Shui Zhenren had many disciples, and even his own family couldn't take care of them all. She was just a picked-up junior fellow apprentice, and she really didn't get much attention.

  And when it comes to going down the mountain, she is also moved.

  "Goodness gracious, I've already promised Master Big Brother. After half a day's effort, you can't not go. Even if you don't want to go, I'll tie you up and take you there."

  This girl is really domineering.

  "Autumn was puzzled: 'Why did you have to drag me into this?'"

  Jing Fei said: "They are all older than me, they have to maintain their status, and do things with an air. Let them stand on the street with me to eat glutinous rice balls, they won't do it."

  Qiu Qiu is speechless, and it seems like she's just going to play this role? Others have card friends and wine friends, but Jing Fei apparently wants to treat her as a meal friend.

  It's true that Jinglan and Jinghuan, even if they wanted to eat, would have to put on a dignified face and wouldn't dare to stand on the street with Jingfei, who is not picky about food, eating glutinous rice balls. But Qiū Qiū is different now, she looks like she's only five or six years old. A child of her age can be forgiven for anything, let alone just eating some snacks on the street.

  Alright, anyway, if Jinglan is to blame, then it's Jingfei this gluttonous little girl who should be blamed first, not her.

  Qiu Qiu packed up her things and followed Lotus Peak's Shifu and two other siblings down the mountain the next day.
