PFC Chapter 203 Wedding (1)
Chapter 203 Wedding (1)
It was unexpected for Lu Qi to see her mother.
Lu Qi was finally tempted by Ms. Ji's suggestion. He chose midnight the next day and followed Ms. Ji into the mountains.
Originally, there was a road on the back mountain outside the hotel that led to another city. But when we were almost at the top of the mountain at midnight, there was another road, and there was a huge fox sculpture on the side of the road.
Going further in, you will see a beautiful grassland road with green mountains and clear water. The stars on the grassland are particularly bright, and you can see this hidden city clearly without turning on the lights.
"It feels like I'm on an alien planet." Lu Qi exclaimed as he opened the car window.
I have never seen a city that combines primitiveness and technology. The houses are obviously ancient buildings, but there are hundred-story towers, and there are suspended trains on the towers that connect the city.
"I never dreamed that such a place existed in the world."
Lu Qi was telling the truth. She had no memories, and all her perceptions of the world came from real experiences and TV dramas. She had never imagined that her hometown would look like this.
"It's true that this place is difficult for outsiders to imagine. Amnesia is a protective measure for this place. Even if an outsider accidentally enters Qingqiu, their memory of this place will disappear once they leave."
Ms. Ji explained as she drove that as they passed the fox sculpture, the lost memories gradually returned to their minds.
After hearing what Ms. Ji said, Lu Qi seemed to vaguely remember something.
The longer I'm away from here, the more fragmented my memories become.
Lu Qi doesn't remember as quickly as Ms. Ji, and her memory has even been severely damaged. Even after returning, she still can't remember clearly.
I only vaguely remember that the Undead Fox Clan seemed to transform only between the ages of eighteen and twenty. At first, they looked like little foxes, and that was when I was twenty years old.
Just as the gate was opened, a little fox sneaked out to play, encountered a hunter, and ran away.
Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing military general, but after a while, he couldn't find his way back and was lost.
She followed the young general for a while, and the general promised to help her return home, but later for some unknown reason he left her in a hut.
That year should have been the ancient Song Dynasty. She waited for a year, transformed into a little beauty, went to look for the man, and learned that the general had died on the battlefield.
After that, she began her wandering life.
Unfortunately, her memory was not clear and she could not seem to recall the general's name or what he looked like.
The car stopped at the gate of a temple.
The Qingqiu Kingdom was actually quite large. According to its territory, its area was roughly the size of Shandong plus Tianjin, half of Shanxi, as well as the Korean Peninsula and Japan Island, with a larger area of sea.
The temple they were in at the moment was just on the edge of Qingqiu State.
Ms. Ji got out of the car. The temple guard was shocked to see her and came forward to greet her: "Saint, you are back?!"
Ms. Ji nodded and said a few words to the temple guard while standing outside the car.
Lu Qi was in the car and couldn't hear clearly. The temple keeper looked at Lu Qi in the car with even more surprise after hearing what she said.
After waiting for about half an hour for Ms. Ji to make the arrangements, a local spaceship flew over and Lu Qi saw his mother Su for the first time.
Lu Qi recognized her at first sight without Ms. Ji's introduction because they looked so similar.
The moment he met Su, Lu Qi felt like a child who had been abducted by human traffickers and was finally sent home. He felt both intimate and distant.
It had been too long. Su's eyes turned red as he looked at her, but he didn't rush over to hug her.
Instead, from a distance, he looked at her with red eyes and gently extended his hand: "Xiaoqi, come here and let mother see you."
This place still retains its ancient name, even though technology has advanced enough to use cold weapons and fire cannons.
Lu Qi walked over hesitantly and tentatively, looking like a little fox peeking out.
Lu Qi held her hand, and for a moment, there was a sense of telepathy. Perhaps due to blood ties, Lu Qi felt a special warmth: "Mom?"
After saying that, Su's tears fell, making Lu Qi's eyes a little itchy...
After a while of getting familiar with the place, I realized that Qingqiu Country had a special feature: there was no blood relationship, but rather a close relationship within a clan, and the entire clan was like a family.
This emotion is very primitive and simple.
Because of this, Lu Qi didn't feel so guilty about her decision not to come back.
She had been feeling quite complicated these past few days, feeling that she had been a nobody. She had been lost for hundreds of years and had finally come back, but she chose to stay in the outside world because of a man.
But now it seems that she is indeed missing here.
After reminiscing about the past with Su, Lu Qi made up his mind and mentioned it to Su: "Mom, I'm getting married."
Su paused in her recollection, then smiled again and asked, "Who is that person? Is he good to you?"
My daughter has grown up and I didn't accompany her growing up. She is now independent. As a mother, all I can do is care about her but I can't make decisions for her.
When Pei Yao was mentioned, Lu Qi nodded happily and smiled sincerely: "He is very good to me. He always agrees with me and never lets me suffer any loss. He is Ms. Ji's grandson."
Ms. Ji did not reminisce with the mother and daughter, but was smoking her long pipe outside the door.
Su was a little surprised, but after a while, she didn't think it was too confusing.
The age of the Undead Fox Clan cannot be calculated in detail, and Ms. Ji is indeed older than Ms. Su.
Before Su married the patriarch, Ms. Ji was already a holy priestess of the temple.
Su held Lu Qi's hand and patted the back of her hand: "As long as it's good to you, your choice is always right."
I heard from Ms. Ji that her mother, Su, was the clan leader's second wife. After the previous one passed away, Su was married to the clan leader by the Su family. I don't know much more about the story.
We have been apart for too long, so there is no way to understand these things.
Lu Qi could only talk about her own affairs. She lowered her head, looked at Su's elegant hands, and took a deep breath: "He is not from here, he is from the outside world."
Su's hand on Lu Qi's hand was noticeably heavier.
Indeed, Lu Qi has been in the outside world for nine hundred years, so the person she wants to meet and marry cannot be from Qingqiu Kingdom.
But everyone knows the situation in Qingqiu Kingdom. People from the outside world cannot stay here. Once 24 hours are up, he will be sent away directly by miracle.
Lu Qi's meaning was very clear. If he couldn't stay, she would leave with him.
Su understood, and her eyes fell on the candles, watching the dancing flames. She had no way of stopping Lu Qi's decision, so she could only pretend to be nonchalant and asked, "When is the wedding?"
My daughter finally came back, but she's leaving right after she got back.
"today."
It's three o'clock in the morning now. The wedding was originally scheduled for five o'clock in the afternoon. I looked at the time and found out that we will pick up the bride at ten thirty in the morning.
"It's just that I may not be able to invite you to my wedding..." Lu Qi told Su that she didn't want Pei Yao to know about the existence of her hometown, worried that he would change his mind and let her stay.
Moreover, her parents appeared too suddenly, and she didn't know whether he would be unable to accept it for a while.
Today is her wedding and she doesn't want any accidents to happen.
