51. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other
Mu Gui slowly โกโก the sword in her scabbard, and she glanced coldly at the robber holding the knife in her hand.
"Then I'm going to go."
Before the words fell, I saw a cold light flashing in the forest, and the forest leaves were flying.
The bearded man flew out with a shout of "ah--", stopped his waist and arbitrarily cut off seven or eight bamboos before stopping, fell to the ground and vomited blood frantically, the whole person was weak, like looking at some monster, his eyes were frightened and scared, his fingers pointed at Mu Gui weakly, and his words were not good.
"You, you ......"
"I said, put down the sword, and don't resist, but you won't listen."
Mu Gui sighed regretfully, put the sword back into the sheath, and stepped forward on the dead branches and leaves all over the ground, but it seemed to have broken the last life-saving straw in the man's heart, his eyes were dark, and he was so frightened that he passed out.
Qing He's hands were trapped by the ropes, and her eyes were particularly curious to stare at Mu Gui who was walking towards her, not at all afraid of what the stranger in front of her would do to her.
"Engong, you saved me, I can't reciprocate, it's better to make a promise."
Mu Gui stiffened when he untied the rope, glanced at the girl with a smile on her face, and quickly untied the rope to distance the two. She shook her head, rejecting what seemed like a good thing to outsiders.
"What, you don't think I'm good-looking?" Qing He frowned, her eyes were full of grievance and sadness, as if she was a person abandoned by the other party.
"No, the girl is a beautiful woman, and she just does it casually, and she doesn't dare to do things against her will."
"But you have abandoned my weak woman in the wilderness, and I am alone, without the power to protect myself, what is the difference between saving and not saving?"
Mu Gui was stunned, she had never thought about this, she had always liked to be alone, and when she saw that the road was uneven, she drew her sword to help, and she didn't think about it so much, she was reminded by the other party like this, and she did find that she was not thoughtful.
"Then it's decided, you send me home, and I'll give you a lot of silver to repay you." Qing He rubbed his numb wrist that was tied by the rope, walked up to Mu Gui and looked at her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
Mu Gui shook his head, "I don't want money." "She's just afraid of trouble.
It is precisely because she is afraid of trouble that she goes to the rivers and lakes in men's clothes.
"No, my Xu family doesn't like to owe favors, what's your name?"
When going down the mountain road, Qinghe sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and asked curiously to Mu Gui, who was driving the carriage.
The carriage was taken when she went up the mountain, but the bandits suddenly attacked and overturned the carriage.
"My surname is Mu, and I deserve my name."
Qing He frowned, thought hard for a few breaths, and then opened his brows, clapped his hands and laughed.
"I know who you are."
Mu Gui walks the rivers and lakes, she is low-key, many people have never heard of her reputation, but the girl in front of her said that she saw through her identity, and she looked puzzled.
"But I won't tell you."
Mu Gui decided that this girl was just a joke and didn't take it to heart.
The two of them rushed for most of the day, the road down the mountain was long and long, and it was already dark, so the two stopped the car and rested on the side of the road. Mu Gui left Qinghe in the carriage and warned her to stay where she was and not to move.
"It's easy to be dangerous in the woods, you just wait for me in the carriage, I'll come when I go, and when I'm in danger, just change me loudly." After saying that, he jumped into the dark woods.
When Mu returned, he unexpectedly saw a fire rising next to the carriage.
She carried a disemboweled hare in her hand, and the blood and hair had been disposed of.
"You're back? I'll show you the craft, give me the rabbit quickly. โ
Mu Gui handed her the rabbit in his hand, and Qing He skillfully skewered it with a smooth branch with shaved bark, set it on the shelf she had made, and began to roast it slowly.
"It's a pity that there is no seasoning, otherwise it would be better to add some spices, salt and honey water." Qing He shook his head regretfully, with a look of regret, "My brother likes to eat very much, but it's a pity that he hasn't eaten my craft for a long time." โ
Qing He's face was full of amazement.
"He's been separated from me for a long time, and I'd love to meet him."
"You'll see him."
"I hope so."
Qing He handed the roasted fat rabbit to Mu Gui, and he only left a big rabbit leg to eat in small bites. After eating, the two rested separately, Mu Guifei went up the tree, lay on the treetop and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the carriage was left to Qinghe to rest.
"Engong, do you have anything you want?" Qinghe made pillows with his hands, looked at the stars through the treetops, and asked casually a little lonely.
"Probably famous martial arts."
After a long time, Mu Gui's voice fell from a high place, and it seemed a little unreal.
"Famous martial arts......" Qing He muttered, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
The two of them traveled for a few days before they arrived at the Guiyun City that Qinghe said.
Guiyun City is a rare big city in the south, among which Guiyun Villa is the most famous in martial arts. Guiyun Villa is a chivalrous villa, the owner of the village Lu Guiyun Yi Bo Yuntian, and has paid huge sums of money to reward the major tumors of the martial arts, and many martial arts masters are related to this, which is the most feared place in the Demon Dao.
"I've delivered you to Guiyunzhuang, it's time for me to go."
Mu Gui said goodbye at the door, and was about to turn away, but was stopped by Qing He's hand, she looked at her with doubts in her eyes, as if asking her what else was going on.
"Didn't I say I'd pay you?"
Qing He stood on the steps, staring at Mu Gui who was not interested, and suddenly smiled.
"Didn't you say you wanted to be famous?"
Mu Gui tilted his head, not understanding the meaning of her words.
"You come with me, and I will teach you how to be famous."
Qing He knocked on the door of Guiyunzhuang, and then there was a "creak" sound, poking out a head from inside, seeing Qing He raising his eyebrows, he asked strangely: "Little girl, what is the important thing for you to come to our Guiyunzhuang?" โ
"I have news of the demon sect demons, and I heard that the owner of Guiyun Village, Lu Guiyunxia, is brave and courageous, and maintains the justice of martial arts, I want to inform the owner of the village, I hope he can exterminate those demons."
The doorman looked startled, and quickly pushed the door open, bending down to lead them into the village.
"The owner of the village is not in the village at the moment, and he was invited by the city lord to discuss something important, if the girl has any instructions to call these maids, the owner of the village will send someone to invite them as soon as he returns."
Qing He smiled and nodded, signaling that he understood. As soon as the person left, he pulled Mu Gui to the chair beside him, and glanced at her with disgust, "What are you doing standing stupidly, Guiyunzhuang is a rare place to treat guests, no matter who comes, it will be treated equally, I have long wanted to come and see it." โ
Although Mu Gui has just entered the rivers and lakes, along the way, there are many strangeties about this girl, so she can't help but wonder, why does a rich lady know so much about the rivers and lakes?
But Mu Gui doesn't like to be too close to people, even if he has already walked with Qinghe, he just obeys her will, takes a cup of hot tea handed over by her, and takes a small sip.
"Miss Xu, why don't you let me send you home?"
Qing He sneered, with some incomprehensible looks at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she lowered her head and drank tea, and the mist rose in the curling water, covering up her feelings.
"How can I have a home......
The extremely light and light words were scattered, if it weren't for Mu Gui's extraordinary ear power, he would never have been able to catch what Qing He said.
The maid took Qing He and Mu Gui for a walk around the villa, Qing He said that she was tired, and refused to leave halfway through, but just relied on Mu Gui, hugged her arm, and let Mu Gui drag her away.
Qinghe pursed his mouth and said a little dissatisfied: "In this situation, shouldn't the hero carry the weak woman on his back?" โ
Mu Gui was very helpless, so he could only bend down and pick up the girl on his back, and he couldn't see the restrained smile on Qing He's face on his back, as well as the lowered eyelids.
"Mu Daxia, where is your father and mother?"
"Long gone."
"Do you remember them?"
"I can't remember, Master raised me and let me out of the mountain after I finished my studies."
Mu Gui could feel his back suddenly vibrate, which was because Qing He was laughing.
Qing He laughed so much that tears were about to come out, and he said in a happy voice: "I really envy you, I also hope that I have no parents since I was a child, like that, I won't be like now." โ
Mu Gui wanted to ask what was going on, but her back suddenly became hot, and then it got wet, and she closed her mouth very consciously and stopped talking. The original reluctance in my heart has also dissipated, and I am looking for a gorgeous place where flowers bloom, as if I want to make the person on my back happy.
Qinghe stuck to Mu Gui's back, very quietly and did not speak, magically, the pain in his heart that thought of the past suddenly faded. Maybe it's because she used to lick her wounds alone, but now she has someone by her side, even if the other party is not as familiar as her.
The sun was in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky the color of fire, Qinghe patted Mu Gui, jumped down with her shoulder, and her posture was very flexible.
"I guess Master Lu is coming back, let's go back quickly." Qing He touched himself, and then smiled a little embarrassedly, "Are you hungry?" I seem to be hungry. โ
Qing He pulled Mu Gui back to the main hall, and sure enough, Lu Guiyun, who had passed middle age, was already sitting in the hall waiting for the two, and when he saw Qing He, he was surprised at first, he didn't expect that the person who wanted to provide news about the Demon Sect would be such a pampered little girl. Seeing Mu Gui behind Qing He for the second time, he raised his eyebrows, the person in front of him had steady and powerful steps, long and deep breathing, obviously had a solid foundation and internal strength far beyond his peers, and was the leader of the younger generation.
Thinking of this, Lu Guiyun hurriedly stood up, asked the attendants standing around him to serve the tea and pastries that had been prepared, and said enthusiastically: "The two guests came in the dust, and I am really ashamed that I couldn't welcome them in time." โ
"I have ordered a feast to be prepared, and in half an hour I will be seated."
Qinghe picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and sniffed it at the end of her nose, the taste was fragrant, the entrance was soft and melting, and her lips and teeth were fragrant, she was very satisfied and stuffed a piece into the mouth of Mu Gui, who was sitting in danger, the latter had been watching her nose and nose, and was caught off guard by a mouthful of pastries, and the scattered crumbs fell off her shoes.
"The two of them really have a deep relationship, which makes me envious as a bystander."
Lu Guiyun laughed, Qing He covered his mouth and laughed, leaned into Mu Gui's ear and whispered, "Hey, he seems to have misunderstood something." โ
So Mu Gui thought in his heart that it would damage the reputation of a girl's family like this, and then opened his mouth to explain.
"Master Lu, Miss Xu and I met halfway......"
"Mu Daxia is my father-in-law, I have promised myself to him, thank you for the praise of the owner."
[Below]
Qing He finished speaking with a smile, but Mu Gui was stunned.
"Miss Xu, ...... you"
"Engong must be hungry all the way here, eat something and talk less." Mu Gui was gagged by Qinghe's osmanthus cake piece by piece, and silently swallowed the words he was about to say along with the soft and delicious osmanthus cake.
"Miss Xu said that there is news of the Demon Sect to inform me, I don't know why?"
Qing He ate the pastries unhurriedly, the people next to him were so anxious that they stared dryly, and the little guy next to Lu Guiyun almost wanted to urge Qing He out loud, but was stopped by Lu Guiyun.
Finally, Qing He ate all the pieces on the plate, drank a cup of freshly brewed hot tea, touched his stomach and said happily: "Okay, eat and drink enough to talk about business." โ
"Girl, please."
It turned out that Xu Qinghe's mother was robbed to the Thousand Peerless Peak by the Demon Sect, and later was forced to conceive and give birth to the Qinghe sister and brother, and finally committed suicide due to humiliation, leaving the sister and brother to be bullied. Qing He sneaked out of the cliff on the birthday banquet of the Demon Sect Leader, but he didn't expect to be traced by them. She panicked and followed the deserted and difficult mountain road, and accidentally ran into mountain bandits, and several useless subordinates were killed and ran, and she was left alone. If Mu Gui hadn't happened to pass by, she would probably be a cottage lady now.
"This demon sect is really full of evil, and it has done such a thing to harm ordinary people, no wonder the righteous people call it an evil demon and shout and kill!" Lu Guiyun's face turned red, but Qing He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Miss Xu, please rest assured, I will issue a reward order, and your sister and brother will be reunited one day."
Qing He finished speaking with a smile, but Mu Gui was stunned.
"Miss Xu, ...... you"
"Engong must be hungry all the way here, eat something and talk less." Mu Gui was gagged by Qinghe's osmanthus cake piece by piece, and silently swallowed the words he was about to say along with the soft and delicious osmanthus cake.
