Chapter 22 Rushing to Wuhu The Girl's Heart
But seeing Jiutian Xing's eyes wide, his eyes were like electricity, and he was full of a fierce and cold aura.
The two serving demons suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiutian's gaze, and in an instant, one lost his soul in fright and collapsed to the ground, and the other screamed strangely and fled.
"Aha! ahahaha......"
Jiutian was very proud, sat up at the head of the bed, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
The wild laughter was cold, unrestrained, whirling and shaking in the cave, and the gravel on the roof of the cave shook like rain, and the dust sowed the rocks, which was thrilling.
Just when the rocks were falling like rain, a sturdy figure flashed in front of Jiutian, it was Fei Tianjun!
Seeing the Nine Heavens, he suddenly got out of bed, knelt on one knee, and saluted: "Nine Heavens - Meet the Master!"
"Okay, good, good......" Fei Tianjun said with great satisfaction, "It's not in vain that I have done three days for you, and now I will order you to do one thing as a teacher." ”
"Yes! The disciple will listen to the master's instructions. "Nine days are respectful.
"Go back to where you came from. Fei Tianjun said.
"Yes, Master!" Jiutian agreed neatly and neatly, without saying a word.
When the words fell, the red shadow flickered, and the nine days had disappeared without a trace.
Fei Tianjun glanced at the figure of Jiutian Away, and shouted: "Flower face!
"The disciple is here. The badger approached.
"You go and follow her for nine days, and you must find out where she has gone and who she has come into contact with. If you find an out-of-phase, report it immediately!"
"Yes, Master!" replied, the flower-faced badger replied, and the black mist rolled up with his twin swords, leaving the Three Immortal Caves of Hanging Pot Mountain.

The dry road from Wanling to Wuhu is about 130 miles, and if you drive a carriage, it will only take half a day.
Therefore, when it was close to noon, Wenji and Yan Ling had already entered the territory of Wuhu.
At the right place, a huge market town suddenly appeared in the willow forest in front, with the sound of people, wheels, chickens and dogs...... The aroma of various cooked foods wafts over the market town, and it is very lively.
"It smells so good!"
Yan Ling shrugged his nose, opened the curtain in front of the car, and said with a light eye, "Brother Kiki: There is a town ahead, and I'm hungry......"
"Sister Yan Ling: I'm also a little hungry, let's have a light meal in front, just to inquire about Qingshui Town. Wenji replied.
"Then you should hurry up...... My stomach is growling. Yan Ling urged.
"Okay, good......" Wen Ji replied and whipped a few times.
The jujube red horse "boom" galloped wildly, and arrived at the mouth of the market town, and the town gate was established with the stone plaque town gate, and the town gate was written in block letters with three red lacquer characters of "stone town".
Wen Ji parked the carriage next to an inn called "Rugui" at the entrance of the market town, and before he got out of the car, Yan Ling had already jumped from the back of the car lightly.
"Brother Kiki, hurry up, I'm hungry. Yan Ling walked quickly to the front of the car, "Look! ”
"Well, here it is. Wenji jumped out of the driver, and as he answered, he tugged on the reins of his horse and walked under the big willow tree next to the inn.
Earlier, the shopkeeper greeted the general, took the reins of the horse in Wenji's hand and said: "Two guest officers, please inside! There are famous pipa ducks, butterfly ducks, osmanthus ducks, and white oil plate ducks in this store...... Authentic and tender...... Take one bite and the oil and water will bubble up, and eat two bites and never forget it. ”
"Brother Kiki! Brother Kiki...... I want to eat! I want to eat...... I want to eat ......" Before Xiao Er finished singing the words, Yan Ling was already salivating, jumping on his feet, and shouting happily.
"Okay! Sister Yan Ling, you can eat whatever you want, and my brother will promise you. Wen Ji said, and told Xiao Er to feed the horse some forage, and then walked into the inn side by side with Yan Ling.
The little second quickly tied the horse rope in the morning, ran into the inn, chose the seat on the street, invited the two to sit down, and then threw the forage.
Under Yan Ling's guidance, Wen Ji called a pipa duck and an osmanthus duck, and ordered a few dishes of fashionable side dishes and two bowls of rice, which filled the table.
Yan Ling first drank a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, and then rolled up his cuffs and devoured it.
After a gust of wind and clouds, there were only some residual soup and bones left on the table, and Wenji ate five but one, which scared the shopkeeper stupidly, and his eyes were stunned there, like a clay sculpture: but he had never seen a daughter's family have such a large amount of food.
Yan Ling pushed the chopsticks, sucked his fingers and said, "Brother Kiji: I'm full, let's go." ”
"Sister Yan Ling: You wait a moment, I'll pay the bill first. ”
"Okay, hurry up. Yan Ling replied, walked to the door of the inn, looked around, and watched the excitement.
Wen Jijing went to the counter to pay the bill, and inquired about the direction of Qingshui Town, which was still more than thirty miles away.
When he turned around, Yan Lingli was already gone, and Wen Ji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly walked out of the inn.
Wen Ji stood on the street, looking forward and backward, looking left and right, but he saw a crowd of people, where was Yan Ling's shadow?
Wen Ji was horrified, and was just about to step up to find it, when he suddenly saw Yan Ling jump from the crowd and jump in front of him.
"Brother Kiki, is this beautiful?" Yan Ling pulled a piece of red silk in his hand and pressed it against his chest, his eyes flickering.
"Beautiful. Wen Ji was a little displeased, but when he saw Yan Ling's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to blame her.
"There are many, many miles there, I want them!Brother Kiki, come with me!" Yan Ling said, grabbed Wenji's left hand, and ran briskly to the other side.
It turned out that there was a cloth shop opposite, which was shouting and selling, and there were already many women and girls gathered there, chattering and picking and choosing.
Yan Ling dragged Wen Ji into the crowd in a hurry, stood in front of the cloth case, and excitedly pointed at a jade onion: "Brother Ji Ji, I want to ...... this Brother Kiki...... That's what I'm going to ...... Brother Kiki, this and this...... I'm going to ...... too."
Yan Ling was very excited, and kept picking up various colors of cloth and silk on her body to compare, one moment red, one moment yellow, one moment white, and one moment blue...... In fact, she didn't care about dressing up before, but after meeting Jiutian and Huinu, she saw that the two of them were glamorous, so she realized that she was filthy, so she also wanted to dress herself up beautifully.
But after comparing almost all the colors of cloth, and not seeing Wen Ji's answer, Yan Ling couldn't help but raise his eyes to look, but saw Wen Ji's eyes closed, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Brother Kiki, what's wrong with you?" Yan Ling was startled, and his expression changed suddenly.
"It's okay...... I'm fine......" Wen Ji reluctantly opened his eyes and said, "Sister Yan Ling, can you pick one?"
"Pick it up, Brother Kiki, I want all of these!" Yan Ling stretched out his finger and drew a big circle towards the cloth case, and the lion opened his mouth.
"Sister Yan Ling, it's not that my brother is reluctant to pay silver, so much cloth and silk have been bought, I'm afraid I can't even fit the whole carriage, I think I'll pick two horses, and when I return to Wanling, I will buy enough for Sister Yan Ling, what do you think?"
"Okay, listen to Brother Kiki, I'll want these two. Yan Ling chose two pieces of silk, one red and one purple, which were the colors of the dresses worn by Jiutian and Huinu that day.
Wen Ji then paid the silver, sandwiched the silk, and left the cloth shop with Yan Ling.
After walking a few steps, Yan Ling realized that he was still holding Wen Ji's left hand, suddenly like an electric shock, trembling all over, and there was a soft and comfortable feeling. She hurriedly retracted her right hand, lowered her head, her face was red, and her steps seemed to be much softer.
Wen Ji also noticed that his hands were holding the residual warmth, and a burst of heat climbed up the back of his neck, but his face pretended to be calm like water.
After the carriage left Shilin Town, the two of them didn't talk for a long time, as if some intention in their hearts had been discovered by the other party, and they were all distracted for a while, and it was difficult to calm down. Especially Yan Ling, when she suddenly remembered the embarrassing incident of the two of them peeing side by side under the pomegranate tree in Tanfu when she was a child, her cheeks flushed even more.
The wheels were chattering, the horses were neighing, and before they knew it, they had entered Qingshui Town.
This Qingshui town is close to the Yangtze River, is the distribution center of the southeast river water transport hub, several times wider than the Shidun Town, seven or eight streets criss-cross, the traffic is busy, the voice of the people is boiling.
Wenji inquired about Wutong Lane, the street where Yan Ling's uncle Xu Dou lived, so he bought some gifts and drove to find them.
In the end, I found the address, which turned out to be in the slum behind Wutong Lane, where the fence was broken and there were three low grass houses.
Wenji parked the carriage by the gate, picked up the gift, and stepped forward to call: "Is there anyone in the house?"
"Who?" said a thin man out of the grass hut, his gray shirt shabby and his black face bare.
Wenji bowed and saluted, "Excuse me: Are you Mr. Xu Dou?"
"It's me. ...... are you" The man saw Wenji holding a gift in his hand, and his appearance was very unfamiliar, so he was puzzled.
"Uncle! it's me!" Without waiting for Wenji to answer, Yan Ling, who had already gotten out of the car, stepped forward and called affectionately, tears rolling in his eyes.
"Who are you?" the man wondered.
"I'm Yan Ling! ”
"Yan Ling?" the man Zou Mei recalled, and suddenly said in surprise, "I remember, you are Yan Ling's niece who was taken away by the monk when she was three years old?"
"It's me, it's me...... Uncle. Yan Ling burst into tears.
"You are really Yan Ling! Although you have grown into a big girl's family, my uncle still vaguely remembers these eyes. Hurry up and ...... Come in and sit down!" Xu Dou couldn't help but shed two tears, hurriedly opened the fence door, and invited the two into the grass house.
Xu Dou summoned the Hun family to greet the two, and Wenji carefully recounted the past. When the Hun family heard that the niece who was taken away by the monk was back, they stepped forward to hug Yan Ling and cried, so they were not sad.
Tan and Xu's two families had business contacts on wood in the generation of Ao Xianggong, which can be described as world friends. But since Yan Ling's parents were killed, the wood business was handed over to her uncle Xu Dou to take care of, at first it was quite prosperous, but later was framed by peers, and then contracted the vice of prostitution/gambling/, and gradually broke off the business with Tan Fu, ruined the family business, lost all reputation, and finally ended up like this.
When he learned the purpose of Yan Ling's return, Xu Dou was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
