The handmaiden, who was a little clumsy in her hands and feet, came out of the doorway with a low body, and she bowed to the troupe and musicians in front of her, and her body was a little crooked.

"Master, the family banquet is almost over, you can prepare to go in." The maidservant saluted the old musician three more times, and stood aside respectfully.

"Is it over?" The old musician took a sharp puff of dry smoke, exhaled a long puff of turbidity, and began to inhale again.

The maidservant wanted to say something, but a descendant boy behind her suddenly burst out.

"Master, the apprentice thinks it's a little strange." The young man quietly approached the old musician, "How is this family member who leads the way a maidservant?" And the apprentice thinks that this servant girl seems to be very nervous......"

"What do you think?" The old musician pinched the cigarette stick and knocked the young man's head with his pipe, "You are my successor, if you don't try to find a way to solve the problem by yourself, how can you lead your junior brothers and sisters to eat together?" ”

"But...... There's no need for the Gu family to lie to us, right? We are all just small people, and the Gu family can't do anything to intimidate us. The young man wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

"What's the use of you kid!" The old musician spat out a large puff of smoke into the young man's face, and turned back to approach the troupe.

The young man foolishly followed the old musician, unable to guess the master's purpose.

"Old man, you should take your people in and sing first." The old musician took something out of his waist and handed it to the leader of the troupe.

"This ...... Be? The old man squinted at what the old musician handed over, and quickly grabbed it, but the dim candle flame did not make him see exactly what it was.

"I'll leave it to the head of the Gu family later, old man." The old musician looked at the old man in the troupe with a smile, "Remember, pay attention to the people around you." ”

"The mysterious ...... You old thing is so old that you can't live well. The old man put the item in his pocket, bypassed the little maid standing beside him, and entered the doorway. All the members of the troupe also picked up the utensils at hand and followed the old man into the doorway.

"Master, what did you just give Master Fang? The mysterious ...... "The young man couldn't help but ask the old musician.

"If you know the mystery, don't ask questions," the old musician scolded in a low voice, "Beware of rotten tongues." ”

"Hmm......" The young man closed his mouth and did not dare to say anything more, turning to return to his little stool. But at this moment, the old musician suddenly grabbed the young man, as if he had something to say.

"Master?" The young man was stunned.

"You go and tell the junior brothers and sisters to go farther away, and arrange your things around the plane tree, and stay honest, I have something to say to this girl." The old musician gave the little maid who had her head bowed deeply.

"What do you have to say to this servant?" The young man looked the maidservant up and down suspiciously, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he gave up and turned around and left. He never dared to oppose Master's decision, and all he could do was to obey his own Master.

"Girl, if there's something wrong, it's okay to say it." The old musician tapped the pot on the railing at hand, and then put it in his mouth and smoked.

"Master, the little girl has something to ask for." The little maid seemed to be crying, but she tried her best to endure the trembling voice.

The old musician nodded, already guessing the little maid's intentions.

"Can you ...... Send the little girl out? The maid approached some of the old musicians, and her voice trembled.

"Get out? Do a good job here, what are you going out for? The old musician stopped his cigarette stick, "Besides, what time do you think it is?" ”

"No...... That's not the case, master...... You may be mistaken. The little maid suddenly grabbed the corner of the old musician's clothes.

"Misunderstanding? What do you want to do when you go out, are you afraid that others will find out? If you're so scared, why do it? The old musician looked down at the little maid, "What an interesting little girl." ”

The little maid slowly let go of the old musician, her body was crooked, and she could no longer stand on her feet, and at the moment when she fell, the old musician held her steadily. The old musician was very old, but his straight waist made him look not like an old man, but as if he had just passed the age of destiny.

"I'm just a poor musician, but I can't stand the worship of the people of the ancient family."

"Master ......"

"I know who you are, and I don't need to pretend about anything, it just makes people more suspicious." The old musician looked at the maidservant's face by the dim candlelight, "You didn't come to me to pretend to be a little maidservant, did you?" Or do you just want to experience what it's like to be a human being? ”

The handmaiden did not respond, but was silent for a long time.

"It's just that the people you're looking for have all left the ancient mansion one after another, so you found me as a poor bastard?"

"Master...... You mean...... Uncle, he went out a long time ago? The little maid looked up suddenly.

"Sure enough." The old musician squinted and finally saw the maid's face.

"Take this, go fast, run as fast as you can. You don't have to worry about anything else. The old musician gave a scroll of notes to the maidservant. It was given to him by Gu Nie before leaving, maybe this old thing had already guessed what was going to happen, so he arranged everything.

The little maid said nothing, and seemed to be in such a hurry that she forgot to thank the old musician.

"Boys, it's time to work...... old musician stopped the gaze of the younger children with his eyes, and walked slowly towards the doorway.

The moonlight in the middle of the night, drowsy and muddy water, became more and more dim through the clouds.

Gu Key turned lightly into the deep alley, but suddenly stopped at the entrance, and couldn't move half a step. The remarkably familiar snoring sounded like a piece of jade striking on his eardrums. Even in the alley where the ghost had to take a detour, he recognized the figure sleeping against the wall, and his heart felt as if something was on fire.

This kid is really here......

"What does it look like to stand here? Today is the Tim Festival, but I don't want you to come here to scare people. The Ancient Key stepped forward and grabbed the man's shoulder, shaking him awake.

"Ahh Brother...... There you are? Sikong Xi was obviously taken aback, and the sleepiness slowly faded.

"Let's go." Gu Jian looked ahead, "We can't forget the purpose of our visit to Liexun this time. ”

He wanted to pull Sikong Xi forward, but he failed.

"Senior brother, you have something on your mind." Sikong Xi stood there without moving, his eyes swirling with unease.

In the quiet and terrible alley, both of them were silent for a while.

"Do I have something on my mind? How do you say that? The Ancient Key first broke the silence.

"Because Senior Brother is drinking," Sikong Xi touched his nose and stared at Gu Key, "You will never drink easily." ”

"Yo, the dog's nose is quite smart!" Gu Key smiled, a faint light flashing in his bloodshot brown eyes, "But I've always drunk just for a moment, so I don't drink easily." ”

He stepped forward and hit Sikong Xi's head, "Crooked! ”

"That's what Senior Brother said," Sikong Xi slowly stretched, "It's just that you've always been drunk when you get drunk, and I obviously smelled a lot of wine just now, so I think Senior Brother also drank a lot, right?" But you didn't get drunk, but you didn't get drunk. ”

"Sharp-tongued boy," Gu Key turned and walked out of the alley, "I won't talk to you, we have to go back quickly, it's getting late." ”

However, he walked far away and did not hear the movement behind him, so he turned around again in confusion, only to see Sikong Xi still standing still.

"I don't understand why Senior Brother tried his best to hide what happened in the Gu family. It's as strange as when you entered the ancient family and when you came out. Sikong Xi said in a low voice.

"Strange? Where is it strange? Gu Key asked.

"For your eyes are darker than ever, and there is no light."

"Nonsense!" Gu Jian kicked Sikong Xi, "It's the middle of the night, how can you go up and see my eyes!" What a suspicious kid! ”

"No......" Sikong Xi muttered.

"What's wrong?" Gu Keyfox stared at Sikong Xi suspiciously, but didn't find anything abnormal.

"Nope. I'm just thinking that if Senior Brother is bullied in the Gu family and can't vent," Sikong Xi suddenly pulled out the war knife in his waist sheath with a serious expression, "I'll do it for you!" ”

"Is that all? You kid still have a superfluous heart, your senior brother and I are not weak enough to be bullied! Gu Jian smiled lightly, and a warm current welled up in his heart, "Don't worry." ”

By the faint light, the steps of both of them gradually accelerated, but at this moment, a little light suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Is Liesun's Tim Festival Night Market fun?" Gu Key asked in a low voice.

"It's fun, it's fun, but there's really not much money to spend, and even eating some food that I haven't seen in Wushu City is restricted everywhere." Sikong Xi hung his head angrily.

"Hahaha, that's fine, save you more waste!" Gu Jian said as he walked, "If my memory is correct, the most prosperous area here should be called Yuru Street." Back then, I was feared by everyone on this Yuru Street, but now that I think about it, I am a stubborn bully. ”

"If I had been born so many years earlier, I would have eliminated the harm for the people!" Sikong Xi clenched his fists.

"If you have what it takes!" Gu Key laughed.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and the Ancient Key's size grew faster until they left the alley entirely.

The blazing candlelight completely entered the eyes of the two, and the lanterns and candles hung high above the street, illuminating the jade like the street like the day, and the light was brilliant.

The people standing along the street are full of joy on their faces, busy with their work, greeting guests and smiling at their neighbors. Gu Jian took Sikong Xi through the overcrowded streets, as if he used to be at ease on the Changsheng streets of Wushu City.

From time to time, there are children in the middle of the crowd, holding a few rock sugar gourds in their hands, shouting and playing ghost catching games, and their eyebrows are happy. It is clearly a very late hour, but the prosperity here is gradually getting better.

The bustling resort should be eight streets and nine mo.
