Chapter 004: Serendipity

Xinglong Town is full of people, so it's not lively.

Xinghua's stomach was rumbling, and he rubbed it vigorously with his hands, hoping to relieve some of his hunger. Penniless, he had never eaten a full meal in the days since he descended the mountain.

The scent of buns came with the wind, and he couldn't help but swallow the saliva in his mouth. He stared at the bun shop opposite with a pair of sneaky eyes, and when the boss turned around, he strode over like a meteor.

At this moment, a neighing of horses sounded not far away, and the pedestrians in front of them avoided it. Before Xinghua could react, he collided with the horse impartially. His thin little body rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

Gu Qian tightened the reins in time to save him from being trampled by the horse's hooves.

At this time, two little guys hurried over from behind and asked, "Childe, are you not hurt?" ”

Gu Qian said while comforting the horse: "I'm fine, I accidentally bumped into someone." ”

Qinghe saw Xinghua lying on the ground, and asked worriedly, "Childe, shouldn't he be knocked to death?" ”

Gu Qian shook his head, "Not necessarily, I guess I'm stunned." Lift him up on his horse first. ”

"Huh?" Qinghe was a little puzzled.

"Since I hit him, I must find a doctor to take a good look at him, is it difficult to throw him on the ground and ignore it?"

"That's just as well." Qinghe answered, and helped Xinghua onto the horse with Angju.

Gu Qian found an inn in the town to settle Xinghua in it, and invited a doctor to treat him.

As soon as the doctor walked out of the room, Qinghe hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is he, is there any big problem?" ”

The doctor said, "Don't worry, he's fine." It's just that his pulse is weak, he must have not eaten for a long time, and he was frightened before he passed out, and when he woke up, he just let him eat and drink enough. ”

After the three of them saw off the doctor, they entered the house, and Gu Qian couldn't help frowning when he looked at Xinghua, who was covered in dirt.

It happened that Xinghua also woke up at this time, he rubbed the injuries on his body, and when he saw the three people in front of him, he suddenly became nervous, "Who are you, why are you robbing me?" ”

Qinghe looked at it and said, "You are penniless, what is there to rob, are you still afraid that we will not succeed?" ”

Gu Qian couldn't help but say to Qinghe: "Take him down to bathe and change clothes first." ”

Xinghua looked at Gu Qian carefully, and saw that he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, although he was inferior to himself, he could be regarded as a talent.

But why did he let himself bathe in a good manner, did he really plan to rob him, and shuddered when he thought of this Xinghua.

Qinghe felt funny when he saw his appearance: "What are you still doing in a daze, do you want to wear such dirty clothes to eat with my son-in-law?" ”

As soon as he heard the word "meal", Xinghua suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly followed Qinghe to take a bath.

He carefully washed off the dirt on his body, and his skin was like congealed fat, which could be broken by blowing.

Looking at the shadow reflected in the water, Xinghua unconsciously sighed: "It's just like a person." ”

After he finished washing, Qinghe led him into his room to eat.

Gu Qian glanced up inadvertently, and this glance made him stunned.

After combing, Xinghua's face is like Fu powder, his lips are greased, and the green silk shawl is like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

In a trance, Gu Qian felt that this person was a little similar to Xue Heng, and a ripple couldn't help but rise in his originally calm heart.

Xinghua saw that the table was full of delicacies, but he was not polite at all, and sat down and devoured it.

Gu Qian asked, "What's your name?" ”

Xinghua replied while eating, "I don't have a name, my Taoist name is Xinghua." ”

Gu Qian looked very surprised, no matter where he looked at it, he couldn't tell that he had the appearance of a half-Taoist priest.

Qinghe couldn't stand it anymore, "Daoist Xinghua, you eat slowly, no one will rob you." If you choke to death, no one will do it for you! ”

I don't know if Qinghe belongs to the crow, as soon as the words fell, Xinghua was really choked.

He hurriedly put the water in the teapot into the cup, and just when he was about to drink it, Gu Qian stopped him, "That tea is hot." After speaking, he handed over his teacup,

Xinghua didn't think much about it, and took Gu Qian's teacup and drank it all, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

Qinghe found another cup and poured tea for Gu Qian, and the three of them watched Xinghua put the food on this table into his stomach.

After Xinghua was full of food and drink, Qinghe took out a bag of silver and put it on the table, "These silver should be regarded as compensation for my son-in-law hitting you, and we will part ways later, so you can ask for more blessings." ”

Xinghua was very pleasantly surprised after weighing the weight of the money bag, but he didn't expect the other party to be so generous. He looked at the three men carefully, and found that they were dressed in silk and satin, and they must have been either rich or noble.

The thought that they had given themselves so much silver without even blinking an eye, and that even the two servants were dressed in silk and satin, knew that they were either rich or noble.

Xinghua then groaned: "Oops, I suddenly feel that my chest hurts again, I'm afraid it's not light." ”

Qinghe glared at Xinghua, "You are talking nonsense, the doctor has said it, you are fine." My son-in-law is kind enough to give you food and clothing, you don't want to make an inch! ”

Gu Qian didn't know Xinghua's thoughts, originally he wanted to give him some more silver to send him away, but suddenly he changed his mind, "We don't have any extra silver on us, if you don't dislike it, you can go home with us, and wait for your injuries to heal before leaving." ”

"Childe!" Kiyowa shouted in surprise.

Angju on the side glanced at Qinghe and motioned him to stop talking.

Xinghua thought about it, and after they bumped into themselves, they asked the doctor to let them eat delicious food, not like bad people. If you can go to his house to avoid it, that's also a good way.

He pretended to say: "Seeing that you are so sincere, I will reluctantly agree." ”

Qinghe gave him an angry look.

It had only been less than half an hour, and Xinghua couldn't bear it anymore, so Angju hurriedly stopped.

Qinghe gloated on the side: "I didn't expect to be able to vomit like this on a horse, how pampered it must be." ”

Gu Qian said to Xinghua: "Come up." ”

Xinghua glanced at Gu Qian, but he didn't react at all, lying motionless on the ground.

Not to mention that everything I ate just now was vomited, if I continued, I was afraid that even my internal organs would be turned upside down.

Seeing Xinghua's hesitant expression, Angju said to Xinghua: "My son-in-law is a good horse trainer, and he is much more stable on horseback than me. ”

Xinghua didn't believe it, "Then why did that horse hit me just now?" ”

Qinghe was suddenly unhappy when he heard this, "It was because this horse was frightened just now." Even today's princess doesn't have this chance to get on my son-in-law's horse, don't you know what to do! ”

Xinghua muttered in his heart, bragging about not making drafts.

Gu Qian stretched out his hand to Xinghua and said, "Come up!" Although the voice was loud, the tone was very strong, and there was no room for hesitation.

Xinghua sat down like a ghost.

After walking for a while, Gu Qian asked, "Are you more comfortable?" ”

Xinghua nodded.

"On which mountain did you practice?"

"It's a hill where I'm staying, and you've certainly never heard of it, so I don't say it."

"And where are you going?"

Xinghua lied casually: "Master ordered me to travel down the mountain, and wherever I went." ”

Gu Qian originally didn't intend to delve into it, and seeing that Xinghua didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask much, but unconsciously Xinghua fell asleep in his arms.

Gu Qian looked at Xinghua's heart and suddenly softened, if Xue Heng was still in the world, he must have grown to such a big age.

Suddenly, Xinghua was awakened by a loud noise, and he found that more than a dozen masked men had surrounded them, apparently encountering robbers.

Xinghua is like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious. There are many people on the other side, and he can only do a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu, and the three people in front of him have no ability at first glance. If you really fight, I'm afraid that you will be the one who suffers.

The leader shouted, "If you know each other, hand over the valuables, and we will spare your lives." ”

Xinghua saw that the knives in their hands were very dazzling in the sun, and his body couldn't help but lean towards Gu Qian behind him.

Gu Qian sensed Xinghua's expression and whispered in his ear to comfort, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Xinghua whispered: "How can I not be afraid, don't you see how many of them there are?" ”

Qinghe asked the group of people: "If you dare to come out to rob in broad daylight, aren't you afraid that the government will come to arrest you?" ”

After hearing this, those people smiled and said, "Now I don't know which government dares to arrest our people from Black Tiger Village." ”

As soon as Xinghua heard the three words of Black Tiger Village, his body trembled even more, he covered his face with his hand to prevent the other party from seeing it, and he couldn't wait to immediately shrink into Gu Qian's arms.

Gu Qian said coldly: "What if we don't follow? ”

"Toast and don't eat and drink, you are killing yourself!" As soon as the words fell, these people rushed up.

Angju jumped up from his horse, punching and kicking, and was able to deal with the group of people in front of him with ease.

Within a few rounds, the group was caught off guard by Angju, and some of their veils were knocked off. Xinghua took a closer look and found that he hadn't seen any of them, and then his hanging heart was relaxed.

Qinghe watched from the side and shouted proudly: "If any of you don't want to die, just go up." ”

These people didn't expect to run into hard bones, and when they saw that they couldn't beat them, they quickly fled with rolling and crawling.

Seeing them fleeing, Angju didn't mean to chase them, "Childe, look at their skills, it's just that." ”

Xinghua said: "They are definitely not from Black Tiger Village. ”

Gu Qian's brows tightened, "Do you know anyone from Black Tiger Village?" ”

Xinghua looked flustered, and said hesitantly: "I, of course I don't know." It's just that the reputation of Black Tiger Village is very loud in this area, and if you don't believe it, you can just find someone to ask. ”
