Chapter 197: Scattered
Everyone returned to the city together and came to the Zhao Mansion to settle down temporarily. On the second day, Wu Junyi ordered his body to be hung at the city gate to be exposed, and the whole process was announced, announcing that the murder and heart-gouging case that had been in a uproar in recent days and everyone was shaking was completely closed.
The people of the whole county, all the people who heard it, watched and scolded, and the crowd of spectators came and went, and it gradually dispersed until late at night.
It was night, dark clouds were crushing the city, thunder was rolling, the wind was blowing, lightning and thunder were roaring. After a while, I saw a purple lightning slashing down in the air, illuminating the entire night sky. The rain fell and crackled all night until the next morning.
However, the bizarre incident happened again, and the people rushed to tell each other, and soon spread throughout the city. Sikong Po's corpse hung above the city gate, more than three feet from the ground, and there were officers and soldiers guarding it day and night, but it disappeared mysteriously last night, leaving only an empty set of hemp rope floating in the wind.
The people all said that it must be the wicked who provoked people's anger, and the thunder god came into the world, provoking the soul that was split by the shocking purple lightning last night, and it was scattered for nine days, and the bones were gone. The people sang and danced, and they believed that there were gods three feet above their heads, people were doing it, the sky was watching, and those who were evil would not escape the doom of heaven's punishment after all.
As soon as Xiao Yao heard the rumors at first glance, and saw Fang Hu and the others avoiding his eyes, he smiled, knowing in his heart that he did not delve into the matter. The dead are big, and the grievances and grievances of the dead are empty, and in line with the principle that more things are better than less, and less things are better than nothing, Xiao Yao is too lazy to care about this idle matter that has nothing to do with him.
Since Sikong Po's death, Qinglong County seems to have regained its initial peace, Xiao Yao insisted on practicing the cheats in the ancient books every day, and gradually found some tricks, and knocked on the side to ask the two free masters around him for some internal cultivation rules, but he also made a lot of progress. In this regard, Xiao Yao felt deeply guilty, and took the two of them all the way to Qinglong, and rarely took the two of them to hang out, so in the past few days, he made a special trip to accompany the two of them to turn around the neighborhood, tour the mountains and rivers, and have a lot of fun.
In the early morning, the three of them came to a cliff together, looking at the white mist in front of them, and the breeze blowing in their faces, they were refreshed. Xiao Yao walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, bottomless, smiled softly, and said to the two: "This cliff is where I got acquainted with Ling'er, and we fell down together from here that day, hehe"
While sharing the story of the two with the two, her smile naturally appeared in her mind, gentle as water, charming and charming, and she couldn't help but set off a ripple in her heart, feeling that she could get this red face, which was really a blessing from several lifetimes.
"The road after going out of the valley, I thought it was the end of the world, and when I reached the end, I forgot about each other in the rivers and lakes. At that time, she was braver than me and dared to face her sincerity, and it was because of this that we could hold the hand of our son and accompany the end of the world together. After Ling Xuan's repeated begging, Xiao Yao finally finished telling the journey of the two of them, as if he had relived the scene again.
Ling Xuan was still intoxicated by the story of the two, yearning for when she would have such beautiful memories. After a while, he turned his head to Xiao Yao and asked, "Where is Sister Ling'er now?" Why aren't you together? ”
Xiao Yao felt a faint pain in his heart, and said in his heart, do you think I don't want to, it's not that I am forced to be helpless... There was a faint smile on his face, thinking about the encounter between the two, he sighed in his heart, and he unconsciously said casually: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, endure the return of the Magpie Bridge, if the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight. ”
After the lyrics were finished, only the sound of the breeze whistling between the cliffs could be heard, and the three of them seemed to be deeply fascinated by the artistic conception depicted in this poem, and slowed down their breathing, for fear that a slight movement would interrupt the dreamlike feeling. Xiao Yao and Ling Xuan each closed their eyes, and Nangong Shi stood aside, knowing that it was not appropriate to move rashly at this time, so he had to scratch his head and enjoy the beautiful scenery around to pass the time.
"If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? What a beautiful word, did you make this song for Sister Ling'er? Ling Xuan and Xiao Yao stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, closed their eyes and asked softly.
“… A friend of mine did it~" In such an atmosphere, Xiao Yao was rarely honest and did not take it for himself.
It wasn't until noon that the three of them staggered down the mountain. When the three of them entered the city, the three of them were stunned at the same time, glanced at each other, and continued to walk towards the city.
The three of them came to Piaoxiangju all the way, and when they entered the store, Xiao Yao went straight to the counter, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper, "Someone is following us, check his identity for me, don't startle the snake." After writing it and handing it over to Qin Mu, he took the two of them upstairs. The three of them had just reached the second floor with their front feet, and the person who followed behind them entered the Piaoxiang House and walked to the corner and sat down, keeping an eye on the staircase.
Xiao Yao and the three of them didn't take this matter to heart at all, ordered a table full of wine and food, and ate and drank nonsense. An hour later, the three of them were full of wine and food, left Piaoxiangju, walked in the streets and alleys, walked in front of the Zuihong Courtyard, chatted all the way, astronomy and geography, anecdotes, and kept telling Ling Xuan and Nangong Shi to the two of them, except for the internal cultivation mentioned in the middle, Xiao Yao didn't know anything, and in other fields, he simply became an encyclopedia. Especially when talking about geographical knowledge, the two of them widened their eyes and were full of shock, they couldn't believe that the land under their feet was so vast.
Today, Xiao Yao took the two of them to walk around, from east to west, from south to north, all the way on foot, not to mention walking dozens of miles. They walked around until the evening, when the sun was setting, and the three of them did not feel very tired, but the people who followed the three of them changed three or four, and every other hour. At handover, the person who was replaced always said the same thing, "Don't lose it, they're so good!" ”
Returning to Piaoxiangju again, the three of them took the lead in going upstairs, and went straight to the private room on the third floor, Qin Mu put down the account book in his hand, and then went upstairs, arranging for a guy to wait at the staircase on the third floor, and no one was allowed to go upstairs without permission.
"Do you have eyebrows?" Seeing Qin Mu coming, he poured him a cup of fragrant tea and asked deliberately.
"Well, I found out, these people are all guards in the county guard, and there are three people who follow you in the afternoon, and one person changes every other hour, and the three of them take turns to alternate." After Qin Mu sat down, he replied softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yao smiled lightly and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu hasn't made trouble for you yet, you sent someone to target me first." Are you afraid that I will be bad for you? Hehe, in that case, wouldn't you be sorry for your hard work if you don't do something? ”
After thanking Qin Mu, the four of them had a dinner together, and Xiao Yao and the three of them said goodbye and left, and returned to Zhao Mansion together. The tail followed Xiao Yao and the others all the way to the corner of the street in front of the Zhao Mansion, carved marks along the way, and then stopped, hid there and squatted, watching every move in front of the Zhao Mansion.
