Chapter 177: The Past

The town of Yu under Foshan has not changed much, the only difference is that it is becoming more and more crowded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Let's find an inn to stay in first, and it's not too late to go up to the secret realm of Foshan tomorrow." The people of the Bai family followed behind with everyone's luggage, and naturally Nan Xiuling's, it seemed that the Bai family was also very accustomed to it.

Cheng Qinghe can't deny this, as long as this woman doesn't make trouble for her, she has no opinion.

At dusk, the group stayed in an inn, and a whole wall of wine jars sealed with red paper was placed under the stairs on the second floor, and she sat on the first floor for a while, the warm sunlight outside shone in, and the sound of footsteps walking back and forth came from the hollow yellow wood wall.

At this moment, a familiar back faintly walked by, Cheng Qinghe's expression was stunned, and after thinking for a few seconds, he stepped over the threshold and walked out.

Bai Shi just came down from the upper floor, and saw that there was no figure of Cheng Qinghe below, and only through Xiao Er did he know that she had gone out, so he couldn't help frowning and walked outside the door to look left and right.

There are people coming and going on the pedestrian street, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find her figure for a while. But when he thought about it, that Kong Laodao should still be in Kyoto at this time, so he relaxed his mind a little.

The figure turned a corner, and when Cheng Qinghe rushed over, there was no one left, but she heard the sound of muttering, and stopped to listen, but it came from a low door beside her.

The door creaked open, and it was opened by a blind old woman.

"Who am I? It turned out to be an old friend of mine. The woman in the door was lying in a rocking chair in the sun, holding a shining hairpin in her hand, and looked at her.

"Sure enough, it's you." Cheng Qinghe walked in.

"Bring a chair for the guest."

"No need, I'm just a little curious, I can actually meet you in this small place, I'll leave later."

"It's rare to meet, so it's better to have a good talk, distinguished guest." The grocery store shopkeeper looked at her and smiled.

That's right, she is the cheongsam woman in the grocery store.

"Looks like you're surprised to see me."

"That's right, it turns out that the shopkeeper doesn't just appear in the grocery store." Cheng Qinghe nodded.

The woman chuckled, inserted the hairpin into the coiled hair at the back of her head, and said affectionately: "Qinghe calls me Ruyu, I am also a person, in addition to the grocery store things that need me to manage, I also need to find a place to pass the time, it just so happens that the scenery of this town is beautiful, it is a good place to recuperate, I didn't expect to meet you here, I was also very surprised!" ”

Recuperate? If this word is put on someone else, she will believe it, but if the object is this Ruyu......

"I see, then Qinghe won't bother you."

"Alas~" Ruyu shouted to Cheng Qinghe, who was about to leave, "I know the purpose of Qinghe's coming to Yuzhen, and it just so happens that I have the news you want to know, why don't you make a deal?" ”

"What's the news?" Cheng Qinghe turned around.

"Didn't you come to Yuzhen this time for your senior brother?"

How did she know? Cheng Qinghe was very surprised.

"As for the whereabouts of your senior brother Jing Xiaoyu, I revealed it to your master. Gongsun is in a hurry to find his missing apprentice, and I happen to know his whereabouts~"

Cheng Qinghe paused for a moment, nodded without thinking, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"I'll have someone go back to the inn to deliver a letter for you, so that the one won't worry about you." Ruyu said intimately.

It seems that she can't hide anything, how on earth does she know this?

At night, Ruyu led her to a store that looked brand new.

"Qinghe will watch the grocery store business for me for a few days, and it won't be long before you can know where Jing Xiao is......

Ruyu raised her hand to remove the door panel, there was a smell of new wood inside, Cheng Qinghe looked at the long corridor inside, all the displays were the same as those in Shangyu City.

"Could it be that this is also the leading point to the Jiangnan Mercenary Union?"

"No, no, the first day it opened here, I haven't registered below, these days are just pure opening and business, it just so happens that these **** have something important to go out, so I have to ask you." Ruyu entered the counter, swept the countertop with a handkerchief, and then took out a white jade abacus from below.

The beads on the abacus are round and jade, and they look very comfortable.

"Open at twelve o'clock and close at one o'clock in the morning, remember, money and goods are in order, and don't agree to any requests from guests."

Cheng Qinghe readily agreed.

After Ruyu left, Liu Laosi couldn't wait to get out of the mouth of the Qiankun bag, and said over and over again that it was so fragrant, sniffing at the bottles on the locker behind him.

Cheng Qinghe sat on the high chair, holding the side of the cabinet and picking it up, it was the seasoning she bought at that time, and the price was annotated next to it, and she still clearly remembered Liu Laosi's gluttonous appearance at that time.

Look at this thing, it's not for people to eat.

"Buy me a bottle later?"

"Look, this is marked on the head, if you want to buy this, you can't exchange it for spirit stones."

Yun Lingguo, listening to this teaching, you will know that this is a good thing for Taoist cultivation.

"Don't we?"

Cheng Qinghe shook his head.

"Okay!" Liu Laosi said disappointedly, and then simply broke the mouth of the Qiankun bag again, and Gu Zi drilled in.

After twelve o'clock, the bell hanging on the door rang for a while, indicating that a guest had come to the door.

The person who came rushed in with a swish, and happened to fall on the counter, and when he saw Cheng Qinghe, his eyes widened, and then he leaned over and sniffed at her, obviously very stunned.

"It's you?!" The weasel frowned and flicked his tail again and again.

From this angle, I just happened to see the expression of Cheng Qinghe looking down, although she has not seen her for so many years, her face is no longer a child, but her taste is still deeply imprinted in its mind.

"Hmm." Cheng Qinghe looked down at it indifferently: "Want to buy something?" ”

"Buy something? Ah, yes! It crouched up straight, its gaze moving to the cabinet behind her, but the afterglow still looked at her for a moment.

"Get me, that, that."

In fact, there was only one kind of cargo on the container, that is, the seasoning, and with a click, Cheng Qinghe took it and put it beside it, so frightened that it retracted its claws and almost couldn't stand.

"One hundred spirit fruits."

"What? A hundred?! It had a pink fruit in its paws, and it loosened and tightened when it heard the words.

It heard the wind in advance and said that this was starting to be sold here, and a few days ago, **** stood on the roof and drooled over the fragrance, but I didn't expect that the price would be so high!

"Why don't you take a credit account first? Give it ...... the next day" its voice gets lower and lower the more it speaks.

"Nope." Cheng Qinghe said straightforwardly, she understands the character of this weasel, no matter what, she must be at the forefront, naturally she doesn't know the price in advance.

"Marde, do you still remember the hatred of Lao Tzu back then?!" Wong Tai Sin jumped like thunder.

Cheng Qinghe raised his eyebrows, pointed at the counter with his finger, and looked at it silently.

It's not what it used to be, if she hadn't grown at all, I'm afraid she would still be chased and killed by it. She saw clearly, the moment it saw her, a fleeting glimmer of ferocious light.

In the face of it, you really can't be careless!

"Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you, I'll come back again." It glanced back at her with bared teeth, and then pounced on its forelimbs, and was about to go out, but its hind paws stepped on the white jade abacus, and a claw fell to the ground.

"He ......" But in an instant, it looked at her sly at the counter, and a low roar came from its throat, obviously mistaking Fang Cai for Cheng Qinghe's provocation.

Cheng Qinghe was stunned for a moment, almost laughed, moved the abacus away a little, and said, "What, you want to fight with me?" ”

Wong Tai Sin's mouth suddenly fell silent, snorted coldly, jumped off the counter, and swallowed it slowly.

Xu is all inquired about the price, this hour no more guests came to the door, after one o'clock in the morning, seeing that Ruyu did not come back, he turned off the oil lamp, closed the door, and went out.

I simply walked two streets to the place where I stayed, and I was not in a hurry at this time, and I saw that the lights were still on in the inn, and it turned out that Bai Shi and Nan Xiuling were sitting in the lobby.

Fang Cai was still talking harmoniously at night, and as soon as Cheng Qinghe entered the door, they stopped talking.

"Coming back?" Shiraishi asked.

"Hmm." Cheng Qinghe nodded, Xiao Er on the side was about to doze off, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly led her upstairs.

When Nan Xiuling saw Cheng Qinghe coming, Baishi lost interest in negotiating, so he also got up and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.

"I'm scared to sleep alone, if Qinghe doesn't mind, how about sleeping with me?" Nan Xiuling shouted to Cheng Qinghe, who stepped into the door.

Cheng Qinghe: "......"

Shiraishi: "......"

Cheng Qinghe looked thoughtfully at Baishi, who was a few steps away, and nodded, "I don't mind." ”

The smile on the guy's face remained unchanged, and the hand behind his back moved, and he retracted his steps with the past: "Very good, please." ”

Xiao Er, who was in charge of the lamp, shivered inexplicably, and sighed that he spit out a breath of white air: "Sizzle, this weather is really cold, the three of you are careful of catching a cold, I will go down here." ”

At this time, it was already the dead of night, and there were only these uncles, who didn't sleep, and he had to accompany him until now!

Closing the door, the bed was already cushioned, Nan Xiuling lifted the quilt and lay inside, taking the lead in breaking the silence.

"If you don't mind, I'll sleep inside, you sleep outside, I'm used to it."

Seeing that she had something to say, Cheng Qinghe was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes, please." ”

Nan Xiuling smiled: "It's late at night, you can lie down too!" If you're not sleepy, you can talk to me. ”

Cheng Qinghe took off her shoes and lay flat, Nan Xiuling was covered with a quilt on her body, and the two were in the same bed.

"The Nan family and the Bai family are world friends, I grew up with Baishi as a child, ate and lived together, and I slept in it every time, so I have this habit." Her soft voice sounded, listening to it in the silent night, with an inexplicable tenderness.

"I know Bai Shi, he was born in the Bai family, his ideal Taoist companion, has always been a perfect woman with excellent character and appearance, regardless of talent or family background, I don't know why he is close to you, I see the interactive relationship between you in my eyes, I pity you, and I am embarrassed with you."

I hope you will retreat.

If you are a bystander, Cheng Qinghe at this time will definitely applaud her words, the so-called heart-to-heart forbearance, is talking about such a woman!

Her pity clearly implies that she is not worthy of Baishi on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it means that Baishi is close to her with ulterior motives, of course, she is involved in Wudang Books and Longhu Mountain, no matter who it is, she will think of this aspect.

"I understand Miss Nan's hard work, thank you for the reminder." Cheng Qinghe pulled out a meaningful smile, turned his back to her, closed his eyes and said, "It's late at night, let's go to bed early!" ”

Nan Xiuling originally planned to talk with her at night, and completely confided with her, but seeing her sleepy and sleepy appearance, she could only give up.

In this way, early in the morning of the second day, Nan Xiuling's side was already empty, she sat up and saw that Cheng Qinghe was not in the house, so she called someone in, it was the Bai family's attendant, but it was also very handy to call.

"Someone."

The door creaked open, "Miss Nan." ”

"Throw this bedding into the fire and burn it." Nan Xiuling opened the window, sat on a chair and poured a cup of herbal tea.

"Yes." The person who came was not ambiguous, stepped forward to roll it, clamped it under his armpit and went out.

"Miss Cheng." He greeted the people outside the door.

Nan Xiuling held the cup for a moment, then stood up, and just wanted to explain, she saw that Cheng Qinghe had already walked in.

"I forgot to take something with me." Her face did not change, and she reached out and dragged out Liu Laosi, who was hiding under the bed and sleeping well.

Liu Laosi didn't have much weight, and as soon as he pulled it out, he floated up.

"Ah, it's dawn!" Liu Laosi muttered and was led downstairs like a kite.

Nan Xiuling, who was standing in place, had a pale face, she was negligent, and she didn't even notice that there was a pariah under the bed.

The highly efficient attendant went upstairs in just a few moments.

"Miss Nan, breakfast has been prepared, and the master is already downstairs."

"Well, got it, help me burn this bed too!" Nan Xiuling commanded lightly, and then turned around and went out.

"Haven't you asked Daoyou's surname?"

"Hahaha, your surname is Liu, and your name is Liu Laosi, I haven't seen you for a long time, my family Qinghe has really caused you a lot of trouble."

Cheng Qinghe drank porridge in his mouth, and when he saw that the person and the ghost were talking happily, he didn't bother, and when he saw Nan Xiuling coming down from upstairs, he couldn't help but say hello with a smile in a good mood.

"Morning, try this food, it's very good."

When Shiraishi saw that the relationship between the two had improved by leaps and bounds, he was a little surprised, and just wanted to say something, but he smiled.

"I heard that we are going to Foshan Secret Land on this trip?" Liu Laosi smelled the fragrance of white porridge and couldn't stop in his mouth.

"Exactly." Shiraishi replied.

"I have been there a few times, and I was looking for the missing villagers in Yu Village, but I found it later, but Qinghe still wanted to find the body of her master Emei, but I didn't find it."

"You mean Zhong Emei?"

"Oh? You know that too? (To be continued.) )
