Chapter 6 The Old Man Meets
Putting away the sword, Lou Xinyue waved her sleeves, turned around and prepared to leave.
The white skirt swayed, Mu Qingye's heart tightened, and she hurriedly called: "Girl, please stay!"
Hearing this, Lou Xinyue stopped and turned around.
Mu Qingye looked at an old man on the side, "Uncle Gu." ”
The old man nodded knowingly, walked to Lou Xinyue and stopped, bowed, "The old man represents the Mu family in the east, thank you for the girl's life-saving grace, if there is a girl in need in the future, go to the soup and go to the fire, I will not hesitate!"
"Thank you girl for saving her life, go to the soup and fight the fire, and don't hesitate!" Everyone in the Mu family saluted Lou Xinyue to express their gratitude.
Hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, Lou Xinyue felt a trace of warmth in her heart, "You are serious, you don't have to be so polite, this Silent Sun Forest is too dangerous, many people have been injured, it is better to go out as soon as possible." ”
Gu Lao still wanted to say something, but saw Lou Xinyue take out a medicine bottle from Najie and hand it to him, "This is medicine to heal external injuries, apply it to the wound, don't see water, it will be fine in three to four days." ”
Gu Lao sighed, looked down at the medicine bottle in his hand, and was about to say something, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of a dazzling red light, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but fall on Lou Xinyue's right wrist. White as snow, he wears a silver bracelet on his wrist, and a red spar is inlaid in the center of the hollow pattern. Gu Lao's eyes widened, tears of surprise flashed, and his face was full of disbelief. trembling and gently holding Lou Xinyue's wrist, he cautiously raised his head and called, "Girl?"
All these changes caught everyone off guard, her eyes widened and she was still confused, Lou Xinyue squinted, and couldn't help but be vigilant, and after feeling that the old man was not in danger, she slightly lowered her defense.
Glancing at the bracelet on her wrist, Lou Xinyue frowned. This bracelet was worn by the original owner since she was a child, and she tried it, but she couldn't take it off, and besides, it was not in the way, so she wore it. In the fragmentary memories of the original owner, 'Nan Nan' is Lou Xinyue's milk name, and if it weren't for someone close to Lou Xinyue, he would never know it.
Looking at the kind old man in front of him, he was inexplicably a little familiar, but the memories in his mind were like thousands of wisps, and there was chaos, "You know me?"
In a word, Gu Lao's eyes suddenly turned red, "Girl, it's really you, I'm Uncle Gu, when you were young, I often took you to buy sugar gourds......"
With the old man's narration, Lou Xinyue's head tingled, and a fragment of memory from the past poured out.
Close your eyes.
In his mind, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man held a delicate little girl in his arms and held a string of sugar gourds in his hand, coaxing the little girl in his arms, "Nannan, don't cry, Uncle Gu bought a sugar gourd for Nannan......" opened his eyes, and the face in his memory gradually coincided with the face of the old man in front of him, although the gray hair was pale, he could still see the handsome and extraordinary when he was young.
Lou Xinyue took off her veil, showed her face, and held the old man's hands, "Uncle Gu, it's Nannan, Nannan, I remember." ”
The old man in front of him is a good brother who was born and died with Lou Xinyue's father, Lou Yixuan, named Gu Chuanfeng, and he is also very fond of the original owner.
The Lou family was originally one of the five major families in the east of the country. Lou Yixuan, the son of the Lou family, has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he cultivated his Xuan Li at the age of five, and the world called him a prodigy. In just a few years, the Lou family jumped to the top of the five major families, and after Lou Yixuan married a wife, the Lou family was prosperous for a while, and no one could stop it. However, not long after, Lou Yixuan and his wife were killed in the battle between the human race and the demon race. At the same time, Lou Yichen, the second son of the Lou family, was poisoned, and Xuanli was abolished. Since then, the Lou family has declined, and the Gu family has also been implicated, suppressed by other families, and gradually faded out of everyone's sight.
Unconsciously, this round and round turned out to be more than ten years.
"Time flies so fast, I'm already old, and the girl has grown so big!" Gu Chuanfeng looked at the slim girl in front of him and sighed.
Because the distance was a little far, Mu Qingye and the others were confused, and they hesitated for a moment and were about to ask, but they saw the two of them talking and laughing and walking towards him.
Gu Chuanfeng pulled Lou Xinyue's eyebrows with a smile, and even the originally cold atmosphere was a little lighter.
"Uncle Gu?"
Gu Chuanfeng patted Mu Qingye's shoulder with a smile, and introduced Lou Xinyue, "Girl, this is the son-in-law of the Mu family, Young Master Qingye, this is the girl of the Lou family that the old slave often mentions to you, Xinyue." ”
"I have long admired the name of my son. Lou Xinyue smiled and saluted.
Mu Qingye squinted, only to find that Lou Xinyue had taken off her veil, and her delicate little face looked like an elf in the dark night in a slightly dim night. Lou Xinyue, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Qing's eyes at night, but they quickly returned to normal.
"It turned out to be Miss Lou. ”
The Mu family, the Gu family, and the Lou family have been friends for generations, but in Lou Xinyue's generation, the relationship has slowly faded. The original main building Xinyue has no power and is stupid, and she stays at home all the year round, in addition to the people in the family, the only one who is most familiar is her cousin Lin Wei, who grew up with her, not to mention people outside the family.
Her eyes flashed slightly, of course Lou Xinyue did not miss the surprise in Mu Qingye's eyes, in the memory of the original owner, the memory of Mu Qingye was limited to one side when she was a child, and it was very vague. Although Mu Qingye and Lou Xinyue are both the daughters and eldest sons of the family, one is born with waste wood and has no mystical power, and the other is gifted and malleable. Moreover, Mu Qingye is a few years older than Lou Xinyue, and the environment in which she is in is also very different, which reduces the intersection even more.
Here Mu Qingye and Lou Xinyue have their own thoughts, and over there Gu Chuanfeng looked at the two of them with a smile and didn't notice it.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the depths of the forest, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, from far to near, awakening everyone.
Looking up and following the voice, all kinds of strange lights flickered in the depths of the dark forest, like thousands of eyes watching, Lou Xinyue's pupils sank slightly, "This place is almost close to the center of the Silent Sun Forest, it's too dangerous, don't stay for a long time, Uncle Gu, Mu Gongzi, it's better for us to exit here first and go to the edge." ”
"You're right, it's too dangerous here. Gu Chuanfeng glanced around, his face a little more serious.
Mu Qingye also nodded in agreement.
Not daring to delay any longer, after a quick rectification, Lou Xinyue, Gu Chuanfeng, Mu Qingye, and the people of the Mu family took advantage of the slow time of the first wave of beast tides to retreat, and found a safe cave on the edge of the Silent Sun Forest and set up camp.
Above the dark blue sky, a blood moon hung high, and there was a hot breath floating in the air, which was very oppressive.
In the cave, Mu Ling was still in a coma, and Mu Qingye and Gu Chuanfeng sat on the side and watched Lou Xinyue check his injuries.
At the angle of facing away from the two of them, Lou Xinyue stretched out her right hand and launched a spell, and a light green light appeared in her hand. Moved to an inch above Mu Ling's head, turned his hand, moved his five fingers slightly, and the stars floated down little by little, slowly sliding in the air to his feet.
Withdrawing, Lou Xinyue turned to Mu Qingye and Gu Chuanfeng.
The two of them saw that Lou Xinyue had finished inspecting, and asked at the same time.
"Miss Lou, how is Ling'er?"
"Girl, how is the spirit girl?"
"Uncle Gu, Mu Gongzi, Miss Mu have internal and external injuries. The external injuries are all abrasions and bruises, I have medicine here, I will deal with it later, but this internal injury ......" Lou Xinyue frowned.
"What about the internal injuries?" Mu Qingye hurriedly asked.
Gu Chuanfeng also looked at Lou Xinyue with an anxious face.
"It hurt the lungs, and it is not life-threatening for the time being. It must be rested and not moved, and some spiritual herbs are needed to heal and recuperate. ”
The two looked at each other, and Mu Qingye spoke, "There is no one here who is proficient in medical science except for Miss Lou, what kind of spiritual grass is needed, Miss Lou said directly." What's more, it is the girl Lou who heals her sister, and the matter of finding the spirit grass is left to us, although we don't know medical science, but as a guard who has been injured all year round, we still have a little understanding of the elixir. ”
Lou Xinyue nodded, "Okay, there are three kinds of spirit grass in total, you don't have to look too far, when I came, I saw that there were near the cave." ”
After writing down the several spirit grasses needed and handing them to the two of them, and explaining the characteristics of the spirit grass and the environment in which it grows, Gu Chuanfeng took a few guards to look for medicine.
Lou Xinyue was preparing to let Mu Qingye go outside the cave so that Mu Ling could deal with his injuries. Unexpectedly, Mu Qingye retreated very automatically.
Glancing at the back of Mu Qingye's departure, the corners of Lou Xinyue's lips hooked up with a smile. After carefully treating Mu Ling's external injuries, he also retreated to the outside of the cave.
Several guards of the Mu family were guarding outside the cave, and when they saw Lou Xinyue coming out, they saluted and said, "Miss Lou." ”
Lou Xinyue returned the salute, "Everyone is polite." ”
looked up and turned around, but he didn't see Mu Qingye.
"Where's your young master?"
A slightly older guard replied, "Back to the building, the young master said that he was walking around the neighborhood before, as for the specific location, the subordinates don't know." ”
Lou Xinyue nodded, "Okay, thank you." ”
After thinking for a moment, Lou Xinyue walked around the cave for more than half a circle, and sure enough, she saw Mu Qingye's figure on a stone behind the cave.
His eyes twinkled slightly, and he approached.
Mu Qingye turned her back to Lou Xinyue, heard the footsteps, and did not look back, but asked.
"How does Miss Lou know I'm here?"
Lou Xinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, did not answer, and asked rhetorically.
"How did Mu Gongzi know that the person who came was me?"
The corners of Mu Qingye's lips hooked up a touch of arc.
"It's really not a routine. ”
Lou Xinyue squinted, "Mu Gongzi bothered to avoid everyone, if I didn't come, wouldn't I have let down your hard work, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
Mu Qingye nodded.
"Hmm".
Before a word was finished, Lou Xinyue's eyes flickered, and a fierce sword wind slashed towards the front door. The footsteps took a step to the left, turned sideways, and the sword qi instantly brushed his face, cutting off a wisp of green silk between his sideburns. Lou Xinyue toe a little, jumped over, and his backhand was a palm.
Standing still, the green silk that had been cut off slowly fell to the ground.
Looking at Mu Qingye, who was standing with a sword not far away, Lou Xinyue's eyes instantly turned cold, and a trace of murderous aura flashed.
"It's Mu Gongzi who doesn't play cards according to the routine, right? ”
