Chapter Seventy-Two: Night Talk
"Yes, three times, although the first time was when the guy acted privately, but the person who could make him fail was not a simple character, so the above also acquiesced"
Hua Qingdai's words made Qingxue think for a long time, that guy, not those guys, there was only one who acted alone, and almost blurted out, "That woodcutter is also a Rakshasa person?" ”
didn't nod or shake her head, but Qingxue was sure that Hua Qingdai was talking about him, the very interesting woodcutter.
The light of the fire gradually decreased, and there was nothing left to burn in the vicinity of the village, forming a good separation zone, and the fire would slowly grow smaller and extinguish on its own, and then the ashes here would be blown away by the wind. Perhaps, there are the remaining bones that will be buried in this ruin, waiting to slowly decay and melt into this side of the water and soil.
Turned around and left in the direction she came, her own affairs have not been resolved, she can't manage the things that have become a foregone conclusion here, even if she is not late, she can manage it, maybe she will not take care of it, the master's lesson back then is there, she is not arrogant enough to think that she can deal with a gang.
After walking a distance, I saw Wushuang running over, and the little donkey who followed her not far away was still walking unhurriedly, swaying slowly towards this side.
Sometimes I see this donkey, pull it on the road and walk slowly, it is also a kind of training, Wushuang is an anxious child, the most unbearable this, every time I run out to play for a while and come back, I can see that they have not gone far.
After this toss, the sky has been slightly bright. I didn't sleep all night and didn't feel sleepy, and Qingxue didn't find a place to rest, but just discerned the direction and continued to set off.
The closer you get to the direction of the Fire City. The more strange the people here are, the more serious the situation is than before, and the worship of the Heavenly Fire Sect has also reached another level, it should be said that it is getting more and more crazy.
The closer you get to the Fire City, the more careful you have to be, and Qing Xue has seen such a thing with her own eyes in a small city not far from the Fire City.
At that time, Qingxue was eating at a restaurant over there. At this time, it is noon, which is the time to eat, and there are many people in the store. Qingxue is too conspicuous with Wushuang. I found a corner, ordered some simple vegetarian dishes and ate them slowly, and Wushuang ate the two chickens that Qingxue specially ordered for it on the side.
There was someone at the table on the other side talking about the Heavenly Fire Sect, because it was about to be close to the Fire City. Qingxue also paid attention to what they were talking about. After listening to a paragraph, they are all touting how powerful the Fire Lotus is, and it seems that they are believers in the Heavenly Fire Sect.
After listening for a while, Qingxue was about to turn her attention and stop paying attention to what they said, when suddenly there was a sneer on the table on the other side, and the two people on the table on this side immediately looked at it angrily, so the person was still unaware. His eyes still glanced behind him with disdain.
It's just that in this way, the two people over there decided that he was disrespectful to the Heavenly Fire Sect. The disrespect for the fire lotus, his heart was full of anger, and he got up and stepped forward to theorize. Originally, the people at the two tables were vindictive, and there was nothing to worry about, but as soon as the people around heard that he was disrespectful to the Fire Lotus and the Heavenly Fire Sect, more than a dozen people immediately stood up, all of them glaring angrily at that person.
In addition to the person who spoke disrespectfully, there were three other people at the table, and although the other three looked at this formation, their faces were also pale, but they still stood up and stood with the person who sneered just now.
In this case, if they have a strong relationship, it is driven by some interests, otherwise they will not be willing to stand up knowing the disadvantage.
Seeing that there was a good show to watch, Qingxue also slowed down her eating speed and watched the situation over there intently, in case of disaster. It turned out that the people in this hall all pulled aside, ran out, and some went up the stairs and stood on the stairs and looked down. In this way, Qingxue and Wushuang are the most conspicuous, and many people can't help but glance over here.
After Wushuang finished his lunch, he stood beside Qingxue and watched the field, a pair of wolf eyes were wary, as long as anyone dared to come and hurt the innocent, it would definitely pounce and bite their throats.
The people in the field were still clamoring, and they didn't say a few words, and the people on both sides quickly scuffled together, and for a while, the tables, chairs, and sawdust in the lobby were flying, accompanied by occasional screams, and the sound of collisions outside the battle circle was really lively.
The combat effectiveness of those four people is really good, and they also cooperate with each other tacitly, faintly forming a formation, but there is still something missing. Although there are more than a dozen people on the other side, most of them don't know each other, let alone cooperate at all, and occasionally they are injured by mistake, waw wow screaming to find out who missed.
I don't know where it came from, a plate flew out, went straight to the back of Qingxue's head, stared at the Wushuang over there, jumped up, smashed the plate with one claw, and landed firmly on the ground, with some anger in his eyes and wanted to rush up.
When the plate flew out just now, the people who noticed the movement here looked at the woman who was still sitting at the table, eating quietly, and even couldn't bear to see her being smashed, but she didn't expect the silver wolf next to her to be so powerful, and she blocked the plate with a vigorous posture, seeing that the silver wolf was about to rush up, and the battle circle was about to be even more chaotic, the woman finally put down the chopsticks in her hand and whispered, "Come back!" ”
The silver wolf immediately stopped rushing forward and obediently retreated to its previous position, but its sharp eyes were still looking straight over there.
After eating enough and watching the play, if you don't leave, you may get into trouble, stretch out your hand and throw a piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper not far away, Qingxue turned around and walked out, Wushuang glanced at the battle situation over there, and also turned around to keep up with Qingxue's footsteps.
This is just a small episode of someone else, and it has nothing to do with Qingxue itself, but it also fully illustrates the horror of the Heavenly Fire Sect, as long as it is within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Fire Sect, if you catch someone casually, you may be a member of the Heavenly Fire Sect, or one of their followers.
In this way, the order issued by the fire lotus at the beginning, the person who will carry it out may also be beyond her imagination, if she really arrives near Jiuhua Mountain, it is really difficult to say whether she can go up alone.
From the city of fire, it looks like a city bathed in fire from a distance, and when the snow arrives, it is evening, and the city in the distance is reflected in the glow, as if it is in a trance, so there will be this sigh.
After walking in the city for a while, I saw an inn in front of me, Qingxue didn't think about it, so I walked in, anyway, I didn't want to live permanently, just live for a day or two, and I didn't have to be selective. When the shopkeeper inside saw her enter, he took a step forward very enthusiastically, and was just about to speak, when he saw Wushuang following behind Qingxue, he was startled, and took two steps back.
This reaction is normal, these days when Qingxue takes Wushuang to live in the hotel, she always has to encounter such an opening, but this little er's courage is the smallest of these people.
Qingxue glanced at Wushuang, Wushuang obediently took a step back, the shopkeeper was a little better, Tie Qing had a face, and barely squeezed out a smile, "Aunt, girl, you, you live in the hotel"
Qingxue nodded, "Yes, give me a room, get some hot water, get some food, I'm sorry for you"
Seeing Qingxue's gentle smile, the shopkeeper eased up a little, answered, and took Qingxue to the back. After talking all the way, Wushuang has always followed Qingxue obediently, and there was no unfavorable action for him, and the shopkeeper also relaxed a little, at least he spoke a lot more neatly.
"The girl doesn't look like a local, it's her first time here?"
"Hmm"
"Is the girl here to run errands or to play?"
"Passing by"
"Oh, let me tell you, we are still a lot of fun places from the city of clear snow and fire, and there are a few good scenery, if you have nothing to do, you can also go and see, I am a native of this place, if there is anything you want to go, I can lead the way for the girl"
"Hmm" Qingxue responded, this was the most ordinary conversation, but she couldn't help but make Qingxue frown, and she always felt that the current conversation was a little disobedient.
It's still the same sentence, Qingxue's intuition has always been very accurate, and she also believes in her instincts, although this little second looks no different from others, but it always makes her feel inappropriate, and she is inevitably secretly wary in her heart. It stands to reason that the little two in these stores should be aborigines or players with financial constraints, with different hearts and personalities, and it is not strange that the reactions after meeting people are different, but the awkwardness in the heart can't be erased.
After eating, Qingxue went to bed early, but Wushuang was still lying at the door, guarding her like a guard. Since the last time Wushuang was also stunned, she has paid extra attention to its diet, and she is more attentive than her own, after all, there is a lesson from the past of walking alone, it is better to be careful. Today, she was mindful of the shopkeeper, and out of caution, she tried all the meals with silver needles, but fortunately everything was fine.
For a while, she has studied poisons, Gu poisons and other drugs, not that she exaggerates, as long as it is not a colorless and tasteless poison, she can detect it.
slept until midnight, there were a few slight voices outside, the voice was very low, and if you were an ordinary person, you would definitely not notice it, but Qingxue's ears were not comparable to ordinary people, plus her current internal strength is deep, and now in the dead of night, she can hear it far away.
The voice is a little like the voice of the shopkeeper, the pressure is very low, Qingxue can't distinguish clearly, she can only roughly hear what they are saying, the shopkeeper seems to be leading someone over, and said familiarly, "Sister Qing, you're back, is this mission going well?" ”
A woman's voice on the other side answered, her steps were a little hurried, and the voice of the shopkeeper came again, "Sister Qing, guess who lives in our store today?" ”
"Who?"
"It's the one that made us lose three times in a row" The footsteps and talking stopped abruptly, and after a pause, a voice came again, and the woman's voice was a little louder this time, calling her name "Mo Qingxue?" The voice was somewhat familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember who it was.
The shopkeeper responded, "I live in the courtyard in front of me", and there was no sound after this sentence, maybe he had left here, or he kept silent when he knew that he was close to her. (To be continued......)
