Chapter 170
Jiang Chengzi smiled and quipped: "Xiao Jiu said this, but he didn't believe it himself. ”
"I-" Xiao Jiu couldn't find the right words, but his eyes were red, and he only said quite domineeringly, "In short, in short, the nine girls don't want to say that." ”
"Xiao Jiu is not an outsider, so I dare to joke so unscrupulously. You see when I have inappropriate words and deeds in front of outsiders?" Jiang Chengzi said.
Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement: "Nine girls have always acted cautiously and decently, and this is true. ”
"Then Xiao Jiu doesn't have to be serious. You should go into the house and get ready, okay?" Jiang Chengzi's voice lowered a little, and the voice became gentler.
Xiao Jiu still shook his head stubbornly and said, "I don't know who is coming, I'm still waiting here to protect the girl." And ask the girl to go back to the house. ”
"Xiao Jiu, tonight, you are competing with me, but you are above me?" Jiang Chengzi asked rhetorically.
Xiao Jiu's back was cold, and the whole person froze. He remembered that in the twilight, she was as light as a swallow, and she drifted away. Even the top guards of his own son don't have such kung fu, and he even laughed and said that he wanted to protect her.
"I-" Xiao Jiu spit out a word, his mind was flustered, and he only felt that he couldn't say anything, and there was an inexplicable decadence.
"So you don't have to worry about me. Let's go back to the house and hide in the dark, waiting for someone to come. Moreover, although the moonlight is hazy tonight, it is enough for you and me to let people come in the light. Jiang Chengzi said to Xiao Jiu again.
Xiao Jiu still frowned, and said very stubbornly: "No, I'm here." Even if you can't stop the enemy, you have to block it. Even if I can't stop it, I still have a life in the end. ”
His tone was stubborn, and Jiang Chengzi was startled. After a little analysis in his heart, he knew that Fang Cai's words were not considered by himself, and he directly hurt Xiao Jiu.
She immediately comforted: "Xiao Jiu, why are you frustrated? If I am an ordinary boudoir woman, how can I compare to you? I am such a teacher and an immortal, you are so broken and broken, but you are really inferior to me." You and I are nominally master and servant. In fact, the affection is like a brother and sister's family, how can you fight for your life lightly?"
She was half consoling, half reproaching. Xiao Jiuyi listened. Suddenly, I was ashamed. He thought: Yes, the Nine Girls are the ones who inherit the immortals, how many people in this world can compare with her? Say such wayward words. is really not worthy of guarding the Jiang Mansion.
"Nine girls, it's Xiao Jiu who is confused. "He's sorry.
Jiang Chengzi chuckled and whispered, "You and I go back to the room to rest, don't pay attention to that person." ”
Although Xiao Jiu was reluctant, he still felt that what he had done that day had exceeded his duty. Therefore, this time he did not object, and went straight back to the house. Because everything is simple outside, Xiao Jiu's room is in the small room next to Jiang Chengzi. Although it is also a private room, it is precisely for the guards to live.
Jiang Chengzi saw Xiao Jiu enter the house. He also closed the door, and lay down on the bed to rest and look for the sound of the man outside the house. But strangely enough, I could only hear the horse's low neighing, but I could no longer hear the man's voice.
Could it be that his abilities have deteriorated, but he can hear the sound of the horses, or is it that the man is deliberately hiding his voice?
Jiang Chengzi was puzzled, but he could only stand still. After a long time, the man still did not say a word. Xiao Jiu next door couldn't help but knock on the door and whispered, "Miss Jiu, I have to enter the mountain early tomorrow morning." If the man doesn't come, won't we spend the night?
Xiao Jiu thought about it carefully, Jiang Chengzi said "yes" in response, lay down by himself, completely relaxed, and went straight to sleep.
There were no dreams, no surprises, and at least the noise she feared didn't wake her up. Jiang Chengzi opened his hazy sleepy eyes and stretched his waist, and someone outside shouted: "Nine girls, but are you awake?"
It was a young woman's voice that was shouting, speaking in the Shuzhong dialect, with a murmuring tail note, very lingering, and the voice was delicate and crisp, like a fledgling with yellow feathers in early spring.
This voice was very unfamiliar, so Jiang Chengzi asked, "Who is it?"
"The maid is here to serve the nine girls to freshen up. The woman said that she had come in with a curtain, a blue waist-length skirt, a double-ring hanging hair, no powder, red lips and white teeth, and the figure should be a well-developed girl, but she was a little shorter, and she looked about the same height as Jiang Chengzi.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"The maid's name is Xiaohong, she is a person from the cloud village, and the three masters let the maid serve the nine girls. Little Red hung her head.
Jiang Chengzi sat on the bedside chair and asked, "Has Master Xie San been informed, I want to go to the mountains?"
"Back to the ninth girl, the three masters have been informed. Xiaohong replied truthfully, and then added, "The maid grows up in the mountains, and the older generation in the village all say that the maid is like the wild monkey in the mountains, hey." ”
Xiaohong said, wanting to laugh, but seemed to think of some bullshit theory that laughed without showing teeth, and immediately hid her face and held back.
Jiang Chengzi looked at her actions and quipped: "You can't enter the mountain." Tsk, it doesn't look like a monkey either. ”
Xiaohong is innocent, and when she heard Jiang Chengzi's words, she felt that she was unqualified and didn't let her enter the mountain, so she immediately got anxious and said eagerly: "Servant, the maidservant was chosen by the eldest lady." She was also born in a rich and noble family in the past, and said that the Yang family was a famous family and paid the most attention to etiquette. If I lose my etiquette, the Nine Girls will not like it. ”
"Oh, then you say, can you enter the mountain with this body?" Jiang Chengzi teased her, and at the same time stretched her waist.
"Servant, maid will go and change, the ninth girl must not dislike the servant. Xiaohong hurriedly went outside.
Jiang Chengzi couldn't bear to continue teasing her when he saw her like that, so he shouted loudly: "Sister Xiaohong, don't worry." I'm still rinsing my mouth and freshening up. ”
"yes, yes, yes. Xiaohong paused, then remembered what she was doing, and immediately responded. Then, she carried her skirt to fetch water and almost fell.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head, and then went to the outer world. Pan Daochang and the three masters were ready to go, and there were many discussions in the courtyard. She was unkempt and had never been washed, so she had never gone out, but she could hear them say that outside Heyun Town, there seemed to be a person who had stood motionless all night.
"Who saw it?" Xie Laosan asked.
The other person replied, "Heyun Town is on duty." It is said that the man was dressed in an oblique frame, and in the bleak autumn wind, his clothes fluttered, like a sculpture, and he stood motionless all night. At that time, the man who was on duty on the city wall trembled with fright, for fear that he would encounter a ghost mountain spirit. ”
"The oblique frame symbolizes the end of the hero, and that person actually wears it?" Xie Laosan muttered.
Another continued: "I heard from the guard on duty that it was only at dawn that I saw a man dressed in a green shirt, wearing a diagonal body, carrying a long sword and wearing a curtain hat. Because of the sunshine and warmth, he was still there, and the guard on duty said that he felt that he had picked up a life, and he didn't have to go to the goddess to see the fortune. ”
"What about the man?" asked Pan Daochang.
"The door of Heyun Town was opened, and I originally thought he was going to enter the town. He turned around and walked in the direction of Jinyuan County. The man replied.
"Weird, weird. Xie Laosan sighed very forcefully.
Xiaohong just came to get some water, Jiang Chengzi didn't continue to listen, but washed his face and rinsed his mouth, simply combed a ponytail, and changed into smart men's clothes.
"Girl, what are you?"
"You're still a monkey in the mountains, don't you need to wear your body if you want to enter the mountains?" Jiang Chengzi quipped.
Xiaohong said "ah", but this time she was not reckless, but said: "Then I will wait for the girl to have breakfast, and then I will go to change into simple clothes." ”
"Good. Jiang Chengzi replied, and ordered Xiao Hongbu to have breakfast. She herself checked the items in her backpack one by one, and took out the fighting blade given by Li Ke to take a look, carry it with her, and put it properly.
After breakfast, Xie Laosan brought everyone to the courtyard to gather. Pan Daochang was very worried, and came to talk to Jiang Chengzi about the strange people at the entrance of the town, and told her that this is the first time she enters the mountain, don't go deep, just take a look at a few places that have been predetermined, and he has to let everyone in Chuanyunzhai be on guard.
"There's Captain Lao Pan. Jiang Chengzi thanked.
Pan Daochang shook his head and said: "Now the six rooms of the Turning Cloud Village and the Yang Family are a family, and to put it unruly, the ninth girl is the master of the Turning Cloud Village, why is it so polite?"
"Etiquette should always be thoughtful. Jiang Chengzi replied.
Pan Daochang turned to Xiaohong from the number of rites, saying that the reason why Xiaohong was chosen was because Xiaohong was clever, second, Xiaohong was an orphan, was picked up and brought up, and knew the roots, and the third was because Xiaohong was good and familiar with the situation in the mountains, and the fourth was because she was a woman, so it was more convenient.
"You have been very well arranged. After a while, I went with them to Huojing Village first to have a look, and then to go elsewhere. Jiang Chengzi said the plan, and then, the group traveled lightly and simply, under the leadership of the old master, out of the north of Heyun Town, and went deep into the mountains.
