Chapter 17: The Woman in Red

Shopkeeper Lin has been waiting for a long time, and time is waiting, shouting that she is ready to go. When he learned that the Twin Swordsmen had taken over the matter, they were even happier and immediately decided to set off. This place is not far from Jiangli County, and it is reassuring to have these two people to protect him.

It's not that he is a villain in vain, but he feels that he has done enough for Zhu Yan, especially when he learns that there are two swordsmen here, he is relieved.

The Lin family's caravan gradually moved away, and the woman in red snatched the package from Lu Shiqing's hand, and snorted a little displeased, "What, do you have a crush on that Lin family chick or what, you actually rush to work for others." Or have your tastes changed and you want to do it to a little girl? ”

Lu Shiqing listened to her more and more unspeakable, felt the relationship between the two, and sighed: "Zhu'er, don't you still believe me." I'm here for the good of both of us. You must know that although the two people who chased us were tricked by us for a few days, when they found out that we were just lying to them, they would naturally catch up again. At this time, it would be good if you had a hostage in your hand. ”

"Chase, chase, chase, what is there to chase, we didn't kill people and set fires!" The woman was a little indignant.

"Since we are walking on the rivers and lakes under their banner, I have long expected such a day."

"In that case, what are we pretending to be doing with them, I'm already impatient, old lady."

"You've always been so ignorant. If we don't get a better identity, it will be even worse if we are chased by our great enemy. Who made you unhappy, not only took all the property of the Chen family, but also killed all the three hundred members of the Chen family. On weekdays, didn't I tell you to be a little more restrained? Otherwise, why would it have come to such a point? There was helplessness in the man's tone.

"Hehe," the woman sneered, "What, it's reluctant at this time?" Then Miss Chen's appearance is good, it makes you linger. ”

Lu Shiqing flicked his sleeves, "Ignorance!" ”

He didn't want to quarrel with the woman anymore, so he stopped talking to her, but walked in the direction where the little girl he had seen in the morning was going.

Seeing that he ignored him, the woman in red stomped her feet hatefully on the spot, and chased after him helplessly.

Where will Zhu Yan be?

She had obviously followed the road she had taken last night, or along the lake, and when she came to a place where the vegetation was thick, she saw that she was almost at the rock, but she went around and around and returned to the same place.

Zhu Yan frowned, could it be that this is the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique? It shouldn't have been Lin Qin's doing, otherwise Lin Qin would have at least mentioned to her a few words last night that he wanted to follow her. But no, I think this is probably only after they left last night.

The stone was clearly ahead, but it was very quiet all around, and there was no sound of rushing water.

Zhu Yan paused, and found that this thing was really not something he could understand. Since this formation had no intention of harming people, Zhu Yan also relaxed a little.

"Anyone? Anyone? ”

Zhu Yan shouted a few times but no one responded, she was tired after walking for so long, so she had to sit on the ground and rest first. After tossing for so long, I don't know if Sister Qin and they left. She had already seen that although Shopkeeper Lin took care of her many times on the surface, there was no true affection. Sister Qin is fine, but she also has to think about the Lin family's caravan. Especially when I left a message before, if it was too late to go back, let them go first.

I didn't eat breakfast, Zhu Yan was hungry and tired, and shouted every once in a while, but no one responded. I simply closed my eyes and thought about it.

I didn't expect that the rivers and lakes are already so sluggish now, but there are still such strange things. If it was her in the first life, she might want to pounce on her and ask for an apprenticeship. But after two lifetimes, she still understands that she can neither forget it nor have much intelligence. Sometimes, she didn't understand why Lord Yan had left a mediocre talent like her in the Great Xia Dynasty.

After closing his eyes for a long time, Zhu Yan still didn't move. This place is not far from the place where I bathed last night, and the idea of always finding a jade pendant lingers in my heart, and the tiredness of not sleeping well last night also came up, and then I simply lay down and slept for a while.

"Huh." A woman's soft voice sounded, waking up Zhu Yan. When she opened her eyes, she found that the scenery around her had not changed, but she could hear the sound of water and insects and birds, as if the lack of sound was just her own illusion.

The woman was also dressed in red, her black hair was like a waterfall, her bright eyes were shining, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"You kid, why are you here? Don't you know that there are a lot of insects and beasts here? ”

Zhu Yan got up with a grunt, stood up straight, looked at the person in front of her, and thought that this formation should have been done by her. Seeing that she was full of moisture and her hair was not dry, it turned out that she also knew that this was a waterhole, and she had been bathing in it before. Early in the morning, this woman is really strange.

"This sister, I took a bath in it last night and left something inside, so I came over this morning to retrieve it." Zhu Yan pointed to two large stones.

The woman looked at her with some surprise, "Little sister, how did you know that you could bathe inside?" ”

"My sister brought me here. I went in first. Zhu Yan saw that her expression was quite kind, so she didn't want to delay any longer. As she walked past the woman, she reached out and tried to stop her, but then stopped for some reason.

Zhu Yan walked all the way over, the morning sun fell on the grass, and the crystal dew shimmered with colorful light. She walked to the place where she put her clothes last night by feeling, but it was clear at a glance, but she couldn't see the jade pendant. Zhu Yan couldn't help but panic.

Is it really impossible to find it?

Zhu Yan didn't believe it, and looked carefully on the edge of the waterhole again.

The woman in red before appeared in the stone again at some point, and watched Zhu Yan look for it in a hurry with interest.

After looking for a stick of incense, Zhu Yan sat down a little helplessly. She had already made up her mind that she couldn't find it, but she really couldn't find it, and she was still very sad.

"Little sister, are you looking for this?"

The woman in red saw that she was no longer looking for her, so she took out a piece of something from her arms and walked out to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan looked up and saw that it was his own jade, and hurriedly reached out to grab it. Unexpectedly, the woman in red shook in front of her eyes and took it back again. Zhu Yan jumped up, but she was not as flexible as the woman in red, so she could only stare at her.

"Give me back the jade!"

The woman in red chuckled as she struggled to snatch something from her in vain.

"Little sister, come, tell my sister, how did you get this jade pendant?"

"It was given to me by a big brother!"

When the woman in red heard her words, her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"What's that brother's name?"

Zhu Yan listened to her words and couldn't help but wonder, did she know Xue Jingyan? But even if you know what, if this jade is given to her, it will be hers.

"If you sue you, will you be able to return the jade to me?" Her eyes widened, and she stared at the woman in red for a moment.

"Not necessarily."

"Then I won't sue you." Zhu Yan has no way to take her, since the jade pendant is in her hand, I am afraid that she also knows Xue Jingyan, and she can't grab it, and she can't grab it, but what should she do?

The woman in red saw that she dared to choke with her at this time, and couldn't help but continue to tease her with interest.

But Zhu Yan already understood what she meant, how could she be willing to regard herself as the object of her fun? So he turned his head and walked towards the exit.

When she walked outside the stone, she found that the woman in red was already standing outside.

"You, you, you ......" Zhu Yan pointed at her with her finger, but she didn't expect her to know how to do light skills, and flew directly from the stone.

"What's wrong with me?"

Xu is surprised look at Zhu Yan is particularly funny, and the woman in red also learned her surprised tone.

Zhu Yan didn't want to pay attention to her, just held her mouth and refused to speak, and continued to walk. Walking and walking, I looked back and found that the woman had not caught up, and I felt a little depressed. I'm afraid I really can't get that piece of jade.

Since he couldn't get it, Zhu Yan decided to rush back as soon as possible and make plans to make peace with the Lin family's caravan, after all, some clothes were still in the package in the carriage.

However, Zhu Yan looked up at the sky, and it turned out that the sun was already in the middle, and it was obviously a while later. Zhu Yan knew that according to the normal way of the Lin family's caravan, they should have already set off.

Zhu Yan looked around and couldn't help but be at a loss. In the case of a silver ticket, Zhu Yan had already sewn it onto his underwear before, so he didn't have to worry too much about going to Jiangli County and not having money to live. It's more than enough to rent a house to live in, but it's a little troublesome to find a livelihood. And it's still a little close to Jiangyang Town, so you may meet people from Jiangyang Town. Although those people don't necessarily know themselves, they still feel that Jiangli County is too unsafe. At her age, it's really too troublesome to go to Jincheng.

However, no matter how troublesome it is, you still have to go!

Just as he was thinking about something, he saw two people coming in front of him. It was the twin swordsmen who came to find her.

Lu Shiqing came to her and handed over the package in his hand.

"Little Miss Zhu, I can be regarded as finding you! The Lin family caravan had already left because they were in a hurry to attend the temple fair. Shopkeeper Lin entrusted you to us. We'll send you to Jiangli County. ”

Zhu Yan was a little surprised, it turned out that Lin Qin could still ask these two people from the rivers and lakes to help with things, "Thank you so much to the two knights!" ”

"No thanks, I am entrusted with loyalty." Lu Shiqing smiled with a gentle smile.

There was a cold snort from the side.

Zhu Yan turned his eyes to look, but it was the woman in red among the two swordsmen. Seeing this woman in red, Zhu Yan couldn't help but compare her with the one she had seen before, but found that the one by the waterhole was not only much better than the one in front of her, but even taller than her.

But Zhu Yan was a little puzzled by her attitude, Lu Shiqing came into contact with her gaze and explained with a smile: "She's in a bad mood, let her go." ”

At this time, the cold snort of the woman in red came again, a little heavier than before. Zhu Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
