(Thank you for the tip.) I'm sorry I'm late...... ）

The wind howls in the night forest, and the moon is in the middle of the sky.

The bonfire in the forest swayed twice from time to time in the night wind, and the bright charcoal fire burned the dead branches piled up with a slight crackling sound, and occasionally the sparks exploded, scattered like fireflies, and the wind blew and disappeared silently.

Fu Yihui was supported by the Gong'e sisters to lean against a tree stump next to the bonfire, and the Gong'e woman named Zi'er at the head always stood beside the person in the crimson robe without saying a word, without moving, the traces of afternoon crying could be vaguely seen on her pale face, her eyes were still red, but her eyebrows were extremely firm and cold.

Guo Xiaoyu sat on a cloth pouch by the campfire, holding a few dead branches in his hands, and occasionally threw two in the fire unhurriedly.

"Little brother, do you want to eat?" The girl in red squatted beside the bonfire, carefully baked a few delicate-looking pastries, and handed one to Yun Xiao.

The young man thought of the red and white corpse in the afternoon, but did not reach out to pick it up, and shook his head with a slight pursion of his lips.

The girl in red didn't know if she didn't care or forgot quickly, she cried really sadly at that time, but now she eats with relish. She handed another piece to Guo Xiaoyu, who took it unhurriedly, and as she chewed slowly and methodically, the dimple on her right cheek faintly appeared, and the corner of the woman in plain clothes smiled slightly, as if the pastry she was eating tasted very good.

The forest wind blew the bonfire, and the people sitting in the quiet woods were silent. After Guo Xiaoyu finished eating a piece, he looked up indifferently, looked at Ah Yue and said, "I still want it." ”

The girl in red pursed her lips slightly, glanced at Guo Xiaoyu, and handed her another piece. When the plain-clothed woman took it, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but pick up, and her eyes were soft and smiling.

"May I ask where the two girls came from? This time, did you happen to meet us?" Zi'er stood aside and had to notice the two people who were always watching from the sidelines.

Ah Yue bit the delicate pastry in her mouth, quickly chewed and swallowed her stomach before saying: "We have something to go to Xuzhou, and we see my little brother outside the forest......" Yan Zhi pointed to Yun Xiao here, "When I enter this forest, I can't help but chase after me...... Then I saw the old woman...... Senior Fu was about to make a move on the little brother, I knew that the little brother was not high in martial arts, and he was injured in the right arm that I had killed before, so I couldn't help but want to help him, but before he started fighting, Xiao Yu ...... "The girl pointed to the plain woman again, "I helped that little sister Wu over...... After that, Senior Fu was bent on saving Sister Xiaowu, and he didn't have the heart to fight us...... Later, Senior Fu begged the little brother to save him, but the little brother couldn't save him, and the senior seemed to have something wrong in his brain...... We thought we should dodge in time, or we would be like the trees that had been beaten by the whip from where we had come before......" She pointed in the direction of the stream from before.

After hearing this, Zi'er had a deep twist between her eyebrows, and then turned to the plain-clothed woman who was chewing on pastries: "What is the name of the girl? I don't know how I met Sister Xiaowu at that time? ”

Yun Xiao felt that the person in plain clothes should be able to tell the origin of the head of his beggar gang, but Guo Xiaoyu gently stroked the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "My surname is Guo." Neither know light skills nor martial arts, Ah Yue chased Yun Xiao Gongzi, I followed behind and wanted to walk slowly over to see, but after a few steps, I met the little girl who was seriously injured and walking hard in the forest, so I stepped forward to help her, and that's it. ”

Zi'er looked at Guo Xiaoyu and asked, "I don't know where Miss Guo met Xiaowu in the forest?"

The plain-clothed woman pointed to a place in the forest, which was the left direction that she and the Gong'e sisters were deviated from by Yun Xiao's point: "Ah Yue and I went straight into the forest from outside the forest, she saw Yun Xiao chasing after her, and I walked into the forest and met the little girl." Guo Xiaoyu looked back at her son, her eyes showed compassion, and she smiled softly at the woman in the purple silk and emerald skirt.

Ah Yue looked in the direction of Guo Xiaoyu's finger, her eyes were a little confused, and she nodded indifferently.

Zi'er was thinking deeply, and when she saw the extremely soft and self-conscious smile of the plain-clothed woman, she instinctively believed it in her heart. She saw that the girl in red also nodded in acknowledgement, so she summoned a Gong E to instruct, and the person immediately turned around and went to the place where Guo Xiaoyu was fingering, and went to check.

Zi'er turned to the young man in Tsing Yi, and his voice was a little solemn: "Zi'er still remembers that Yun Xiao Gongzi said that the white wolf that appeared halfway to help the man in black escape was raised by Gongzi, so Gongzi will save it, but that white wolf is really acting for the tiger in front of my Qing'e sisters, preventing us from pursuing the man in black who dares to sneak attack Shelao." I don't know how to explain the matter here?"

The man in Tsing Yi looked gloomy and hesitated a little, so he had to say: "It was Yun Xiao who rashly attacked you before. But the white wolf has followed me since I was a child, and when I saw that it was seriously injured, I didn't feel that I had to help it. As for why it wanted to help the man in black......" At this point, a trace of hesitation flashed in the young man's eyes, and he said with a difficult face: "...... Yun Xiao, I don't know. ”

Zi'er's face was even more solemn: "That white wolf is very spiritual, and it is extremely difficult to prevent us from chasing and killing the man in black, and the son admits that the white wolf is raised by the child, but he doesn't know anything about what it does, but what do you want us to think?"

The young man in the green shirt was silent for a long time, and his voice turned solemn: "What the girl said is right, Yun Xiao should figure out the matter here." The white wolf's name is Zongbai, and he was supposed to go to Xuzhou with me to act, but now he is nowhere to be found...... I promised that when I return from this trip to Xuzhou, I will do my best to find Zongbai, find out the reason why it rescued the man in black, and give Qing'e an explanation. ”

Zi'er's face was both respectful and solemn, and he looked at the young man: "Since Gongzi is a master disciple of Qingyunjian, we have no reason not to believe it." Please also ask Yun Xiao Gongzi to remember what Fang Cai said, and he will have to give me an explanation within a year. The woman paused and continued: "Otherwise, we will have to go to Guiyun Valley in Jingzhou and ask Mr. Duanmu for an explanation." ”

Yun Xiao's eyebrows frowned, and his face couldn't help but become solemn: "Within a year, I will explain this matter to Qing'e She." ”

The woman lowered her eyes: "Zi'er keep it in mind, and will convey the words of Prince Yun Xiao to the elders in the house." ”

Luo Luo's green shirt is like a bamboo, although the young man is sitting on the stone at will, his figure is also upright, "What I did before is ashamed of Qing'e's house." The reasons for the indulgence can be light or heavy, and Yun Xiao will not dare to forget it. After saying that, the young man glanced at Fu Yihui, whose eyes were closed and her face was pale, and then said: "The death of Dao Shu is deeply compassionate. Although Yun Xiao is not a passerby, he can also feel the pain of your house. If the matter of Zongbai can help Qing'e She find out the origin of the person who did it, Yun Xiao must do his best. ”

The woman in purple silk and emerald clothes couldn't help but feel sad and angry on her face, her lips pursed deeply, and she looked at Yun Xiao and nodded quietly without saying a word.

The forest was silent, and everyone sat around the fire, and there was no sleep.

I don't know how long it took, Guo Xiaoyu looked up at the long sword on the right hand of the young man in Tsing Yi.

Ah Yue was handing the pastry to Guo Xiaoyu, and couldn't help but follow her gaze, and then blinked at Yun Xiao and said, "Little brother, where is your scabbard?"

Yun Xiao was stunned, looked sideways and lowered his head, and then immediately got up: "Zong Bai was injured before, I threw my sword scabbard to block the flying arrow for it, but I was in a hurry and couldn't retrieve it in time...... Rong Yunxiao went down to find it now. ”

There was an obvious look of urgency on the young man's face, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around with the sword in his hand and left.

"Little brother, I'll go too~" Ah Yue stuffed the half-eaten pastry into her mouth, and immediately clapped her hands and chased after the young man. "Xiaoyu, I'll be back in a while!" the girl turned around and shouted at Guo Xiaoyu, and the bright red figure had already jumped away towards the boy.

The flickering bonfire illuminated the plain face of the plain woman, Guo Xiaoyu did not raise her head, and responded in a low voice: "Okay." The voice is soft and gentle.

……

In an inn where Luoyang went to Xuzhou official road, Mei Shuying was dressed and on the bed, and was about to rest, when there was a hurried sound of Jiuli knocking on the door outside: "Childe! I received a flying falcon smell! I am going to ...... with us on this trip."

Before the words fell, the door opened from the inside.

"It's the news of Qing'e She. Mei Shuying stood on the side of the couch, her long figure was particularly tall, and the long robe draped over her shoulders was lifted by the night breeze blowing in when the door opened, light and ethereal.

Jiuli stepped into the house in a few steps, and presented a green bamboo smeller wrapped with 7749 and red silk with both hands: "Please Gongzi Qi." ”

Mei Shuying habitually put down the jade fan in her hand, took the flying falcon and skillfully curved her fingers to bypass, and took out the paper to read.

Jiuli waited quietly aside, and listened to Mei Shuying say in the next moment: "As I expected, Elder Fu has not gone out for a long time, and this time he personally escorted Sui Yin back to Donghai County. ”

Jiuli showed a worried look: "That Elder Fu?"

"Elder Fu Shang An. Mei Shuying changed her hand and handed the note to Jiu Li: "Tell the herald to surprise Yu, and send this news to the master of Lou She." ”

"Yes!" Jiu Li responded, and was about to turn around and go out, Mei Shuying said again: "Tell Yingli, we will rush to Xuzhou overnight." ”

Jiuli stopped and bowed her head, and immediately responded: "Yes, Childe." ”

Mei Shuying changed hands and put on the long robe, and Jiuli immediately stepped forward to straighten the placket and wear the waist ornament for him.

The man in black put away the letterhead, saw that Mei Shuying had strode towards the door, and caught a glimpse of the jade fan that Mei Shuying casually placed on the side of the couch, so he wanted to pick it up and keep up. When he went down, he felt a strong wind blowing by his hand, and the person had taken three steps back.

"Childe?" Jiu Li's face was puzzled, looking at the man in white who turned around and looked at him coldly.

"I'll do it myself. Mei Shuying approached in a few steps and took the jade fan, turned around and strode out.

Although Jiuli was confused in her heart, she didn't express much of it. While thinking, he followed Mei Shuying and acted behind him.

I can't help but notice: Although the fan in Childe's hand has been in his hand for many years, it seems that he has never opened it once.

……

In the deep forest, the bonfire is especially bright.

The place not far from the campfire still smelled of blood, and more than a dozen Gong'e sisters were still busy back and forth in the forest.

Zi'er stayed beside the woman in the crimson swirling dress, looking at the plain-clothed woman with an impermanent face who added a few dead branches into the fire from time to time, and thought of something, so she said, "Miss Guo and that Ah Yue girl and Yun Xiao Gongzi are old acquaintances?"

Guo Xiaoyu threw the last dead branch in his hand into the fire, raised his head and smiled slightly: "There was a misunderstanding before, but I have already met Yun Xiao Gongzi." ”

Zi'er nodded and said no more.

A short time later, another Gong'e came over to speak.

"The bodies of the Dao Shu sisters have been put away, four carriages have been damaged, and two have been cleared out that are still usable...... It's all lost. When it comes to the key point, I should have seen that there was an outsider like Guo Xiaoyu present, so I skipped it.

Zi'er nodded, and her voice was calm: "Put the bodies of my sisters in the carriage and place them, and we will set off in a few moments and rush back to the house." ”

"That Yun Xiao Gongzi and ......" The Gong'e spoke softly to Zi'er, and glanced in the direction of the plain-clothed woman: "...... Are these two girls going all the way with us, but wait for them to go on the road together?"

Zi'er glanced back at Fu Yihui, who had been sealed and didn't let her wake up, "You don't have to wait for Yun Xiao Gongzi and Miss A Yue to come back." She said: "The old man is sad and unstable, so I must return to the warden's side as soon as possible, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to regenerate." ”

The Gong E also nodded: "I'll go and inform the sisters." ”

When the Gong E turned around and walked away, Zi'er once again guarded Fu Yihui without saying a word, staring at the bonfire.

Not much.

"Haven't Elder Fu ever seen a bonfire burning so strongly?" Guo Xiaoyu suddenly said with a light face.

Zi'er was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously looked down at the person next to her.

The next moment, I saw that Fu Yihui had opened her eyes at some point, her eyes seemed to be clear and sudden, and she was staring at the bonfire in front of her without blinking, without saying a word.

"She Lao ......" Zi'er was startled: Didn't Yun Xiao Gongzi say that if the silver needle is not pulled......, she will not wake up?

The next moment I saw the grief in the eyes of the person in the crimson swirling clothes, and I didn't feel a sour in my heart, so I squatted down and hugged the shoulders of the woman in the scarlet clothes, who didn't move, like an ignorant puppet, and like a child in shackles. Unconscious, immersed in his own sadness or introspection or resentment, it is difficult to get out.

"You're like this, how tired. The plain-clothed woman sighed very softly.

At night, the forest wind was cold, brushing Fu Yihui's cheeks, and she suddenly trembled, and looked at the plain-clothed woman tightly: "Blood...... Cherry blossom...... What a big fire ......" tears ran down her cheeks, and Fu Yihui's eyes trembled, "A charm curtain...... Qianfuju ...... I can't control myself...... Not me...... Not really...... That's not the iron whip in my hand......"

"She Lao?" Zi'er was immediately shocked: "Are you sick again?!"

As soon as the words came out, several Gong'e gathered around when they heard the voice: "Sister Zi'er, what's wrong with the old man?"

Fu Yihui's face was painful and anxious, as if she was in a deep obstacle and could not come out, crying and screaming, full of panic, helplessness, and depression.

Guo Xiaoyu turned his head and looked at her deeply, without saying a word. Watching Fu Yihui cry a few times in confusion, her voice became more and more hoarse, as if she was in extreme pain, but she couldn't shout, her cloudy eyes seemed to be looking at the bonfire and the plain-clothed woman sitting by the bonfire, for a long time, she finally slowly closed her eyes.

Gong E was startled around, Zi'er immediately reached out to look, and then said, "She Lao fell asleep...... Let the sisters set up the carriage, and we will go back to the house!"

The women responded in unison and quickly turned away.

The moonlight is cold, deeper and heavier.

The young man looked for the scabbard and returned, and when he and the girl in red went to the bonfire, they saw only the plain-clothed woman who was holding her chin and pretending to sleep.

They were anxious to return to their home, and set off for Donghai County first. Guo Xiaoyu yawned and said lightly to the two.

The girl in red nodded sneeringly: "Donghai County is also in Xuzhou...... I originally wanted to follow them to take care of those sisters...... "Then he thought of something, and then happily said to the young man in green shirts: "Little brother, you also said that you were going to Xuzhou before, where are you going?"

Yun Xiao stood quietly in place, with a little panic on his face, and he didn't know what he was hesitating.

He glanced at the direction in which Qing'e and the others had left with some concern, and glanced at Guo Xiaoyu in a blink of an eye, and saw that his face was impermanent, so he turned his gaze again...... Although there was still a hidden frown between his eyebrows, when he heard Ah Yue's question, he also replied: "...... Gwangneung-gun. ”

Ah Yue was even more happy when she heard it: "Is it Guangling County, where the public loser is located?

The girl's smile was pure, her mind was concise, and she was full of warmth and comfort, and the young man in the green shirt looked back at her, and then smiled back, and said in a harmonious voice: "Since we are on the same road, it is better to go together." ”

Ah Yue nodded heavily and looked back at Guo Xiaoyu with a grin, who only smiled silently.

The three of them did not feel sleepy, so they did not delay any longer, put out the bonfire, and went on their own horses. Straight out of the forest, to Xuzhou Guangling County.
