Chapter VI: Promises
Kuju didn't answer, and directly began to kowtow. The pen www.biquge.info one by one, knocking solidly, every time I raised my head, there were more tears in my eyes.
Xu Huai looked distressed and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"This head is a ninefold deserved." Kue knelt there straight, and said seriously, "I was raised by the sect master. The ninefold should kowtow to the nurturing grace of the sect master. ”
Although Xu Huai looks young, he is actually hundreds of years old, and his identity is a mystery. He had adopted many girls, but never thought of him for any kind of nurturing of them. Seeing Jiue like this, he was both moved and alienated, as if he was the father who was high up.
Kuju smiled and suppressed the tears a little, but turned sad. She said, "The Sect Master treats the girls very well, I know that. Since the sect leader loves the girls, he should let the vicious dog blast them out when they are looking for them. Why do you have to force each other to let Miss Lian go back? ”
Kue's tail note was already trembling.
Xu Huai, who was sitting in the chair, was silent. He avoided Kuju's gaze and looked at the ground. After looking at it for a while, he got up and went to the back room.
Kuju knelt there, staring intently at the light of the candle flame dancing on the table.
Xu Huai finally walked out slowly. He put a burden on the table, untied it, and said to Kuju: "This is what the monk sent today, and there is a letter in it, you can take a look." ”
Jiue sensed the heaviness in Xu Huai's eyes, stood up, and hesitantly went to get the letter.
It turned out that Kongchen learned that the people under the mountain handed a letter to the county order, saying that Xu Huai abducted and trafficked people. The county order also knew about the Shui Yun Sect, and he was not gullible, but because of the anger of the people, he planned to let the Shui Yun Sect put all the girls home, otherwise he would ask the Shui Yun Sect. Kongchen hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it, hoping that Xu Huai would quickly think about the way out.
Xu Huai and Kongchen are old friends. Kongchen solemnly said to him: "Those parents cry that their daughter has been abducted, who doesn't have compassion? Although they themselves threw away the child who was not born at that time, they did not think that they were wrong when they died. ”
After reading the letter nine times, I felt sad in my heart, three points of resentment, and six points of unwillingness. She said, "I'll go ask the Empty Dust Mage." No, he can say whatever he wants. ”
"Kuju, don't go out lately." Xu Huai interrupted her, "Do you remember what I told you a few days ago?" ”
Kue found a chair and sat down, his voice less angry, replaced by a low emotion: "I don't want to go." You promised me not to drive me away. ”
Xu Huai walked up to her, rubbed her hair, and whispered, "If I don't drive Jiuzhong away, how can I drive you away?" ”
Jiue looked at him and said with teary eyes: "Since you can't bear me, why do you find me a place to go?" Could it be that the Water Cloud Sect can't accommodate the Nine Folds? ”
Xu Huai was silent. He was reluctant to let Jiuju go, and he was reluctant to let every girl go. But now that those people are fighting the girls' ideas, they are all their biological parents, how can he stop them? Some can get married and escape the catastrophe, but some are still young, how can they get married? As for those who have skills like Jiuzhong, Xu Huai wants to let them find an errand to do, go out to find another way to live, and stay away from their parents.
Women are not allowed to go out to do things, this is the rule, but there are exceptions. Xu Huai knows very well that there are a group of people under the hands of several princes, known as the princes who do things, and they have a reputation for wisdom and bravery, but in fact, they spend their days in cockfighting and drinking. So, who does those things? It was made by a group of orphan girls. In order to make a living, they are willing to make wedding dresses for others.
Xu Huai wanted Jiuzhong to do this, and when he did better, he would bring other girls in. He knew that Jiuzhong had a good self-esteem, and his heart was a little high, and when he saw that she was reluctant at first, he thought that she was unwilling to live under others. Now, Kuju told him that she was afraid that he was driving her away.
"I want to take Miss Lian with me." Kue seems to accept such an arrangement and makes another request.
"You also know Miss Lian's temper, she is a fierce person. I thought about marrying her, but she twisted her hair and became a nun. Now that her parents have come to her, she is looking for life again. I didn't dare to say anything to her anymore, in case someone died. ”
Kue nodded understandingly. Xu Huai saw that she had thought clearly, solemnly sat back in his seat, and said:
"After two days, the fourth prince will send someone to pick you up. You and Su An will do something together, and if it is done, you can go to the prince to do things. ”
When it comes to doing things, Jiuju is interested: "What's the matter?" Do you want me to hunt down someone? ”
Xu Huai shook his head, slowed down his speech and said, "This matter is related to our Water Cloud Sect. Twenty-five years ago, we did one thing. This is a good thing and a bad thing. ”
It's getting darker.
The sound of tuk-tuk knocking on wooden fish came from the temple. Chen Lan knelt in front of Kongchen and made tea and drank it. Before he could bring the teacup to his mouth, the door opened as if it had been blown by a strong wind.
Chen Lan looked at the door vigilantly.
The people who came in were not demons or monsters, they were round. He hurriedly ran in, snatched Chen Lan's teacup, and poured it into his mouth.
"Half a day's road, but you walked a day." Chen Lan said jokingly, "Didn't you meet a dinner party set up by a fox?" ”
Yuan Cheng gasped, calmed down after a long breath, and said, "I met a girl at the gate of the Shuiyun Sect, she told me to be careful when I went down the mountain, I didn't take it seriously. And guess what? When I came down, I saw a girl sitting on the side of the road crying, and there was a scholar lying next to her. ”
"Oh?" Chen Lan poured another cup of tea.
"Of course I'm going to go up and ask. The girl said that she had kindly saved the scholar who was about to hang himself, but the force was so great that the scholar fell out of the loop made of rope, but he fell unconscious. I thought, where did the girl's family get so much energy, so let her show me. ”
Yuan Cheng said, imitating it decently: "As soon as she waved her hand, hey, the branch broke." I was terrified and asked her who she was, and she said she was the maid of the Difu Niangniang. It really scares me. ”
"Heh, dare you meet someone from the underworld." After Chen Lan said this, she thought of Jiuzhong. I don't know if the whereabouts of the Nine Folds can be found out in the underworld, if so...... He was in a daze, his mind drifting to the side. At this time, the Empty Dust Mage, who had been contemplating just now, came back to his senses, and he glared at Yuancheng:
"Don't hurry up and calm down, chant and meditate!"
"Oh." Yuan Cheng, who had just danced with his hands, sat up obediently.
The Dust Mage stopped knocking on the wooden fish's hand and said:
"Tomorrow you go down to the mountain and come back with some things."
At the end, he also deliberately added: "Yuancheng, if you cause trouble, I won't be able to spare you tomorrow!" ”
Late at night, the Sky Dust Mage shook his sleeves, and a paper crane flew out of his sleeve.
"It's time, it's time to go."
