Chapter 22 - Fighting (2)
But being a little more steady on the chair was not his reproach to Qiu Jinzhi, but his sincere advice. After the horse carriage left the city, Bai Ze rode the horse carriage like a wild horse that had escaped its reins! The wheels were about to fly.
Sitting steadily had become his extravagant hope. In order to not make himself feel even more uncomfortable, if he kept bumping around, Qiu Jinzhi felt like he could push his stomach out of his body.
Qiu Jinzhi, who was carrying the carriage, opened the window frame and shouted to Bai Ze: "Bai Ze! Brother Ze! Slow down! Slow down!
In less than an hour, they had reached the foot of the mountain.
The first thing that Qiu Jinzhi did after getting off the carriage was to find a tree root to vomit. After a long time, there was only sour water left, Qiu Jinzhi felt that his mouth was filled with sour taste, and even his sense of smell had stopped working for a moment.
Qiu Jinzhi rested for a long time before he finally got used to it. He looked at Bai Ze, who was silently waiting for him after tying the horse up.
Qiu Jinzhi's heart suddenly erupted with a wave of nameless fire: "Am I so weak that can't withstand the wind? Your carriage is about to fly! Can I not be weak against the wind? "
Bai Ze told Qiu Jinzhi the truth. "I had originally wanted to ride over."
When Qiu Jinzhi heard this, he felt a bit of embarrassment, and caught up to the Bai Ze who was currently in the mountain. "You mean I'm a burden?" The more he complained, the more he complained. At the same time, he was also angry.
Bai Ze's path had already been blocked by this little rabbit who seemed to have recovered from her shock. Bai Ze circled around Qiu Jinzhi, and from the start, she had no intention of arguing with him.
However, Qiu Jinzhi just did not let him go, as if he was a sulking little wife: "Do you hate me?"
Bai Ze said as she relaxed her brows, "No."
"You do! You are like a stuffy gourd every day! Does it bother you so much! " Qiu Jinzhi might have been completely enraged by the earlier carriage, but right now he was thinking of a place to vent it all out.
Bai Ze continued to frown comfortably: "No."
Bai Ze frowned slightly. In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind before she said to Qiu Jinzhi, "You talk too much. My throat hurts."
Qiu Jinzhi was startled. He never thought that Bai Ze would give him such an answer.
Now that his anger was gone, he asked like a curious baby, "Then will you be dumb if you talk too much?"
Bai Ze shook her head. "I don't know either, it's just painful."
"Oh, then don't say too much in the future." Qiu Jinzhi said.
Bai Ze's mind raced as she organized the Clothes for Qiu Jinzhi. "Heading up the mountain is too arduous, calling a carriage for you to rest in it will make you tired from riding."
Bai Ze's expression eased up a lot when she saw Qiu Jinzhi, and it was rare for him to speak gently to appease the furious Qiu Jinzhi: "When the time comes, you will help me look after the fruits, why would I think that you are a burden? "With you by my side, I think it's a lot easier to do things!"
Bai Ze's conscience suddenly hurt a little.
Bai Ze also sincerely apologized to Qiu Jinzhi: "Sorry, we were too hasty when we were driving just now, why don't you rest and wait for me here. When we return, I will try my best to drive the carriage more stably."
Qiu Jinzhi kept his temper and said: "En, it's fine, I'm much better now. Let's go, I still have the strength to climb the mountain together."
The temperature of the mountainside was always higher than the temperature of the foot of the mountain. Because it was too far away from the town, there were very few households that lived here. If they wanted to climb higher, they would need to get up early to get to the temple's gate. Moreover, it wasn't safe to walk at night, so many people chose to wake up early to get to the mountain to get to know the Buddha.
Qiu Jinzhi and Bai Ze climbed for close to two hours, until they finally reached a large expanse of fruit trees. Qiu Jinzhi was excited when he saw the fruits on the tree: "They grew on the tree and stuck there for fun!"
Bai Ze: "Have you never seen fruits that grow on trees before?"
Qiu Jinzhi said: "I have, but I have seen them grow in basins, these are all very tall! How are we going to take it off? "
This question was the key question Qiu Jinzhi wanted to ask.
Indeed, Qiu Jinzhi's anger was like a gust of wind.
He was already under the tree picking the fruits that Bai Ze had plucked from the tree.
Bai Ze was actually very obedient. She would pick wherever Qiu Jinzhi said she would pick, but she wasn't sure of most of the positions he wanted to take. As a result, under the command of an outsider, the two of them, who had been arguing just a moment ago, had now reached a tacit understanding that no one else was around.
Qiu Jinzhi looked at the hairy things and asked Bai Ze: "This is Chestnut? "Why are you so ugly, what a lot of hair!"
Bai Ze took one of the furry clothing and peeled it off, revealing the dark brown coloured fruit. Qiu Jinzhi saw this chestnut and his eyes lit up: "Eh? So much fun! " They already had half a bag of chestnuts and half a bag of persimmon. Suddenly, Qiu Jinzhi saw a few orange trees in the distance, he shouted to Bai Ze: "Bai Ze, look over there, there are some golden fruits, let's go and see what is that?"
Bai Ze looked in the direction that Qiu Jinzhi pointed and said, "That's an orange. You like it? "
Qiu Jinzhi didn't care about whether he liked it or not. He only thought that picking the fruits was especially fun.
The two of them put the fruits to the side, and Bai Ze picked two fruits from under the tree to give to Qiu Jinzhi: "You can't put them in a bag. Why don't you just pick two of them to satisfy your craving? "
When the two of them were preparing to return, Qiu Jinzhi suddenly stopped and squatted down to sniff at the tree roots. Then, he used his hands to brush away the shallow leaves on it. Under the leaves was a new layer of earth.
Qiu Jinzhi also discovered the new soil on the first level, and on closer examination, there was the smell of alcohol.
