Chapter 13: Jade Pendant
After feeding the rooster, Xiao Wu withdrew and returned to the young lady.
"Xiao Wu, look at that player over there, it's so familiar." Xiao Wu looked along Wu's mother's eyes, and it was the robber in the mountains and forests that day, the bride of the Hua family's kidnapping: Anne.
"It turned out to be her, you saw her, the robber in the mountains and forests that day. Very cunning, be careful when you meet her."
"Next, there will be an intelligent competition, and the fifteen judges in front of them have clues of ten jade pendants in their hands. After the competition starts, the contestants have to find a way to get clues from the judges and find the jade pendant. After dawn, all personnel must reach the top of Twin Peaks, those who cannot arrive on time will be eliminated, and those who do not get the jade pendant will be eliminated. Each family can bring two family members. Now I declare the competition open. ”
After speaking, everyone hurriedly showed their talents to please the judges. Some brought tea and water to the judges, some secretly stuffed silver tickets, and some beat the judges' backs and prepared chairs.
"Miss, what shall we do?"
"Let's go back to Xiangyun Tower to eat first, I've been hungry for most of the day. After a while, after eating, everyone goes back to sleep and wakes up to talk about something. ”
As soon as he sat down, a child ran over and whispered to Xiao Wu for a while. Seeing that Yun Chuan and Chun'er were curious, Qingyue said:
"This kid stole the money bag and was caught by me. I looked at the poor man who had no father and no mother, so I taught him a few martial arts for self-defense. I just received the news that Anne has two jade pendants in her hands, three in the hands of Bai Xian'er, who is very popular in this competition, and two in the hands of Li Wan, the adopted daughter of the prefect. The whereabouts of three jade pendants are unknown. ”
The table is filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea, each with an enticing fragrance.
The trio ate slowly and elegantly.
Suddenly, I heard a person: "The host eats alone with relish, but lets the guests watch dryly, this is not hospitality." ”
It turned out to be Anne, Xiao Wu said: "Joke, I don't know when you became our guest." ”
The corners of Anne's mouth rose and she smiled, "If it's the person who gave you the jade pendant, I don't know if I can be your guest." ”
Xiao Wu said: "What conditions do you have?" There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Anne said, "This is an apology I owe, and I want to start over and be friends with you." ”
Xiao Wu said: "There are no eternal enemies here, as for whether they can be friends, it depends on whether the Tao is the same." ”
Anne said: "If you regard me as an enemy, you won't let Hanako go to find out the whereabouts of Yupei, since you are not sure that you are an enemy, then we are at least half of our friends." ”
Xiao Wu said: "It seems that you are not stupid, people who are not stupid usually think a little more than ordinary people and know a little more." ”
Anne said: "This jade pendant can be regarded as sincerity, among the three jade pendants whose whereabouts are unknown, two should be in the hands of the yellow-shirted guest." ”
"Since one in half of my friends is here, how can I not be entertained without wine." Yun Chuan said: "Xiao Er, come to a pot of good wine." ”
"How can a pot be enough, no one has a pot. Have a drink," Anne said.
"We still have important business, or we'll drink with you another day." Mother Wu said.
"It's a big thing now, and it's not a big deal for a friend. Otherwise, you and Xiao Wu will go back first. Yunchuan Road.
"No, there are friends, I don't leave, there is wine, meat and friends, there is no music of silk and bamboo orchestra, and there is no dance." Xiao Wu said, "How about I dance the sword for everyone?"
"Since they are all here, they can't miss me, so I'll play a song and score the sword dance."
After eating, the four of them returned to the incense garden. It was late at night, and the people in the garden should have slept peacefully, and even snored. But now the yard is still brightly lit. Is it a holiday? Of course not, it's just that there are rare opportunities in life, and this beauty pageant is a big holiday in life for some people.
Xiao Wu returned to the room, closed the door, and jumped out of the window.
If I am not mistaken, this should be the room of the yellow-shirted guest, Xiao Wu was just about to listen to the movement in the room, and the door opened: "Do you want a clue about the jade pendant?" One is in the Queen Mother Cave of Twin Peaks, and the other is in the temple behind Twin Peaks. There is a beast poison in the Queen Mother's cave, and the temple must pass the master's questions, so that you can get two jade pendants. ”
"Are you waiting for me? Why help me? ”
"Why am you helping you, not harming you?" You must never think that a person who meets your needs is there to help you, and sometimes he may have his own purpose. Maybe the next time you meet, you'll already be the prey of the other person. It's like a cat catching a mouse, you have to play for a while.
It's too early to conclude whether it is a help or a harm.
Xiao Wu turned to leave.
The night was too dark, so dark that Xiao Wu couldn't recognize himself. Halfway up the Twin Peaks Mountain, the Queen Mother Cave, just like the Queen Mother is like a legend, Xiao Wu spared most of the night and did not find it. The moonlight is getting thicker and the moonlight is shining. Xiao Wu fell asleep lying on the branch.
When she woke up to find herself on a stone bed, she had a hard time believing her eyes. How I got to this place. Walking out of the room, he saw his brother Yunchuan drinking tea at the stone table. "Where is this?"
"Queen Mother Cave"
"You brought me here?"
"No, I received a letter from the map, and here you are. Good tea here. ”
"Really?" Xiao Wu picked up another glass on the table and drank it. There was a whistling outside the cave.
"What is this sound?"
"The Beast"
"Let's get out"
"At the very least, you should see the owner of this place first."
As he spoke, footsteps pierced in. An old man with a long beard walked in, and if you defeat my pet, you can get the jade pendant. After saying that, he was gone.
Three black shadows flashed, and Yun Chuan chased after him, this monster was three people tall, and its voice was terrifying, and it roared wildly. The red eyes are like a raging fire. The jade pendant dangled around its neck.
Xiao Wu's instinctive hind legs, this retreat provoked the conquest of the animal**, it immediately pounced, and the two of them had retreated to the entrance of the cave. Yun Chuan flew up and rode on the neck of the first evil beast, and the monster immediately rolled on the ground. Yun Chuan's head touched the stone on the ground, and blood suddenly appeared on his forehead.
The monster that led it opened its mouth and pounced on Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it at the beast, the beast swallowed the tea and suddenly lost its fighting spirit, slowly lay on the ground, and fell asleep.
"This tea is the antidote. Drained the fighting spirit of the beast. ”
Xiao Wu took the jade pendant and walked with Yunchuan towards the back mountain of Shuangfeng Mountain. This dilapidated temple is very cold, and the wood of the courtyard gate has been rotten, and it seems that it can no longer withstand a little wind and rain. "Excuse me, anyone? Is the abbot there? ”
Xiao Wu called twice, but no one answered, so he pushed the door in, Yunchuan burned the fire, and found that there was a person sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, "Disturb late at night, no offense, please forgive the abbot." ”
Seeing that the man did not move at all, Xiao Wu stepped forward, put his finger under the man's nose, and immediately retracted it: "There is anger." ”
Is this the point of making this person speak?
