The men had gone out of the back door as they spoke, and the lantern-bearers had gone out with them, following the sound of anchors and oars.

Xia Houying knew that this was from the waterway.

As soon as the thieves left, the lights flickered at the south corner gate, and the sound of footsteps got closer and closer, and two strong men in short clothes came out of it, each carrying a lantern, and only one of them said: "It's really popular, I have not stopped from dawn to this time, and the incense master does not know what illness he has committed? If he is gracious to us, tell us to close the back door and go down to rest! If his anger does not subside now, he may have to wait for him until dawn!"

As they spoke, they stuck the lantern in the crack in the wall, closed the back door, and walked to the front with the lantern.

Xiahou Ying saw that the road behind him had been closed, so that no one would come and go, so he turned back from the arrow path, and finally entered the courtyard from the arrow road. The courtyard is also very large, with five main rooms and three side rooms on each side. There is only a slight light on the north side of the wing, but the main room is brightly lit.

Xiahou Ying tiptoed to the window, and before she could peep in, she heard a woman's voice say: "Girl, you have to check it again no matter what, don't be so nonsense, there is your godfather inside, and your uncle outside, I will never do anything to you, and other people don't mind." You listened to them, tonight your uncle actually beat Hou Qi because of the gossip about you outside during the day, and your uncle actually beat him up for some reason. I have long heard that Hou Qi is a tough guy on the spiritual path, how can he be willing to suffer this loss? Sooner or later, I am afraid that there will be something wrong. Thou knowest thy uncle's temperament, and thou hast never allowed anyone to say a word about him, but his nature is like a blazing fire, and he has no tolerance at all, and it is estimated that sooner or later he will find thee. Don't look at the two of you, you haven't blushed, but you have heard too much gossip outside, and you may not be able to hang on your face, and your life will be gone, child. I advise you to be kind, and you should always check in the future. One or two are your enemies, and all those who mention you have not said two good things about you. If you want to be so nonsense, don't blame your uncle and aunt for ignoring you in the future. ”

When Xia Houying heard this, she licked the window paper a little, and looked into the house, only to see that the room was very rich, and there were two people sitting on the edge of the bed, one was the female butcher Lu Qiniang, and the other was an old woman in her fifties or sixties.

That Lu Qiniang lowered her head and was silent, and when she raised her head, she saw her eyebrows tightly locked, her face was light and angry, and she said to the old woman: "Auntie, where did you hear all this, my niece doesn't complain anymore, but makes a basin and buckles it on her head, this is really a dead and alive person." If my uncle hadn't taken a fancy to him at the beginning, why would he have let me fall into this step? How would I live for the rest of my life? Aunt don't worry, because I have such a mother's family, I can't help but come to visit me. My uncle loves me so much, even if he has harmed me for the rest of my life, I know that he is always confused for a while, and I only admit that my life is miserable. Since my aunt is afraid that I will cause trouble for you and your husband here, I will go away, and I will be a widow, and don't let my aunt be like me. I'm a ruined star, I'm a ruined star, let me stay this night, I'll leave tomorrow morning. It would have been the same if my aunt had told me to leave at that time. ”

The words of the female butcher Lu Qiniang made the old woman tremble with anger, and said tremblingly: "Auntie, you are too strong, I only said two words about you, and you are so sexual." Girl, I'm your own flesh and blood, and you have been talked about by others outside, and we can't look good on our faces, right? Auntie, you think about it yourself, and we won't talk about you in the future. ”

Xiahou Ying saw this situation, the female butcher Lu Qiniang would not be able to leave now, and she hurriedly rushed across the courtyard. When he came to the window where Hou Qi was imprisoned, he still looked in through the window.

Hou Qi was still reclining on the board, leaning against the wall, frowning and not sleeping. Xia Houying took a look, this place is very secluded, as long as someone comes, you can dodge in advance. So he pushed the upside-down door open and went into the house.

Nahou Qishu raised his head, very surprised, Xia Houying waved his hand to him, and said in a low voice: "Friend, don't be surprised, I am here to help when I see an uneven road." ”

Hou Qi still hesitated and asked, "Since my friend is 'the same source on the road', please report Wan'er first, right?"

Xiahou Ying said: "Friend, forgive me for not admonishing you first. I just passed by here and saw that this Lord Luo Xiang was perverse, insulting his friend you, and even conniving at his niece and doing that absurd and shameless thing in the spiritual cultivation world. I see that you are an iron-clad man, and you fall into the hands of this horseman, and you don't want to get out, for fear of being killed. I have heard that the leader of your gang is very fair and selfless, you can escape back to the Twelve Docks before you can escape for your life, friend, would you like to get out of the mouth of the jackal? I am willing to help you with a main arm, if you do not want to rely on outsiders, then you can only be at your disposal. ”

Hou Qi, the helmsman of the river patrol, glanced at Xiahou Ying again, and said in a low voice: "Friend, your kindness, how can I live up to your good intentions?" It's just that friends, you have to think about it yourself, there are only a lot of things here, and it is inevitable that you will be burned and killed. I fell into his hands, and even if he was not willing to accept me, he would not dare to put me to death. But friend, you can help you escape, you can escape, if you are chased back by him, it will be tantamount to a quick death. Friend, you know that I am a member of the Fengwei Gang, and I will no longer hide it from each other, our gang rules are strict, no matter how you come from, friend, that is, you have the heart to save each other, and you want to betray the gang, I am not so bold, friend, you don't have to step on this kind of troubled water. Two-handed golden dart Luo Xin, this old man, does a lot of injustice, sooner or later he will touch a big nail, friend, please!"

As soon as Xiahou Ying heard that Hou Qi, the helmsman of the patrol river, was actually in the hands of the enemy, he still regarded death as home, and refused to borrow the power of someone who did not know the origin because of his escape. This kind of mind, even if it is a bandit, is also respected. So he turned around and pushed the door open and looked out, there was no sound outside, and he hurriedly came to Hou Qi and said: "I see that although my friend is in the green forest, you are really worthy of the wind and dust, and I am willing to tell the truth." My surname is Xiahou Mingying, I am a disciple of the Fire Ape Castle, this time with our castle master, to the twelve chain dock to practice the appointment to attend the meeting, in Liangxing Mountain Lujiabao has already paid tribute to your gang of Lu Qiniang. Our castle lord hated her for her adulterous and evil behavior, and resolutely eliminated the harm for the cultivation of spiritual paths, and picked out his stack kiln. But I found this adulteress here again, and I was afraid that she would do evil again, so I followed her here. Did you think that she was actually the niece of Lord Luo Xiang of your gang? With such an old cultivator as Lord Luo Xiang, as a master of incense in the Fengwei Gang, he could not control his niece and oppress his fellow brothers, which made outsiders indignant. When I see a friend below, you are a strange man in the spiritual path, a big husband, so I am willing to help you get out of the hands of this husband. Friend, you have explained that the gang rules are too strict and you can't betray the gang, but the matter of the Phoenix Tail Gang and the Fire Ape Castle is a small provocation, and there are two leaders who have gone to the knot. How can a nobody like me take on such a big event? Friend, even though you are in the Wind Tail Gang and have strict gang rules, you can't help but make friends with us. In the next to help you get out of the hands of evil dawn, the dust is clean, and get rid of this incident between the Phoenix Tail Gang and the Fire Ape Castle, why don't we be friends in private. ”

When Xia Houying said this, she immediately waited for Hou Qi's reply. Hou Qi, the helmsman of this river patrol, listened to Xiahou Ying's words, and then said angrily: "Friend, you are so generous and righteous, can I, Hou Qiyan, know what is good or bad, and be gracious." As long as the brother is not strong and helps me get out of the hands of this husband, I will never dare to forget the friendship of the brother who is a stranger to help me. We are determined, as long as the brother helps me out of the house, I will not fall into the hands of the old man. ”
