Chapter 9: A Thrilling Night
Shi Mingxuan was afraid that she would be bored, so he sent a piano. The black xylophone is laid flat on the table, like a dustless night, revealing a quiet atmosphere.
When Bai Chu was practicing in the Heavenly Thunder Sect, his amateur class was to cultivate the law of music. At that time, she began to train with the faint morning light every day, and ended when the sun went down.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, when it was time to learn the rhythm, she would sit in the pavilion next to the bamboo forest, follow the teacher's teaching, pluck the strings with her ten fingers, and immerse herself in the rhythm, so that she could forget the boredom and fatigue of the day's training. The wind is gentle, the bamboo shadow is gently swaying, and the sound of the piano is flowing slowly, making it the most comfortable day of the day.
At that time, Bai Chu looked forward to ending his training as soon as possible, growing up quickly, and being able to see the outside world. And now, she just wants to go back in time and stay in those carefree years.
It would be nice if time could go back.
Three days passed quietly. During these three days, every ten o'clock at dusk, she would sit by the window, plucking the strings, and the elegant sound of the piano echoed in the courtyard, slowly flowing in the bottom of her heart.
On the night of the third day, when Bai Chu was about to rest, he heard a messy and hurried footsteps from the courtyard outside the window, this person seemed to be extremely seriously injured, his breath was very disordered, and it was accompanied by intermittent coughing sounds, and it seemed that he did not enter from the main entrance of the Jackdaw Inn, but from the courtyard next to him.
Bai Chu quietly got off the bed, leaned sideways against the window, silently pushed open a window crack, and looked into the courtyard.
She saw a dark figure struggling to walk towards the shelter in the backyard. When he walked to the bottom of the corridor, the flickering lights illuminated his face, and it turned out to be Jiufeng!
She immediately pushed open the window, jumped down from the window, stepped forward to support Jiufeng, and asked, "How are you?"
At this time, Shi Mingxuan also noticed the movement and walked out of the house, Jiufeng was so weak that he almost fell to the ground, and was surrounded by Bai Chu. Shi Mingxuan took his weak body, put his arm on his shoulder, and carried him back to the room, laying it flat on the bed.
There was a dazzling blood stain on the left side of Jiufeng near his heart, and there were also scars on his lower abdomen and legs, at this moment his breath was weak, he lost too much blood, and his life hung by a thread.
Shi Mingxuan's face was solemn, and he said to Bai Chu: "Please trouble Miss Bai to go to the kitchen in the southeast corner of the first floor to get a basin of hot water." ”
She immediately went and brought a basin of hot water. Shi Mingxuan cut open Jiufeng's clothes, revealing his wounds, the blood-red wounds turned outward, which was extremely dazzling.
Bai Chu did not evade at the moment, and helped clean the wound with Shi Mingxuan on the side. The water in the basin was already stained with blood, and it took three changes to clean the wound. She took out the golden medicine given by Ah Sheng and handed it to Shi Mingxuan, he put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said, "Good medicine!" and immediately sprinkled the medicine boy carefully on Jiufeng's wound. During this period, Jiufeng gritted his teeth and did not scream, he clenched his fists in pain, his forehead was covered with green tendons, Shi Mingxuan saw this, and said, "If it hurts, you can call it out." But Jiufeng still endured it and didn't make a sound.
After Shi Mingxuan bandaged his wound with gauze, he took out a white medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a brown pill, fed it into Jiufeng's mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief: "My life is probably safe." ”
Jiufeng swallowed the bitter pill in his mouth, struggled to get up from the bed, pointed to the sealed wine pot on the table with his chin, and said in a lamented voice: "This Juyuan Dan is bitter to death, ah, the whole body is bitter by this medicine, if you don't drink some medicine, you will finish the calf tonight." ”
Bai Chu glanced at Shi Mingxuan, and seeing that he didn't show any refusal, he went over to unseal the wine jug, poured a bowl, and handed it to Jiufeng. He stretched out his right hand to take it, raised his head and drank it all, and lay down comfortably on the bed: "Happy! I almost can't drink this goose Huaichun." ”
Jiufeng and its good wine, no matter where you go, you will prepare the best wine for yourself. His name also comes from this, Jiufeng Jiufeng, in fact, it means a drunken maniac.
Shi Mingxuan asked, "Is it Thunder Fire?"
"Yes, they found me, and this time I came to be an unusual person. I narrowly escaped and escaped. Don't worry, I shook them off before returning to the Jackdaw Inn. They should have arrived in Yangqing Town by now. ”
When Bai Chu heard this, Jiufeng actually met with Lei Huo, looking at this, the injuries on his body were also caused by Lei Huo. I think it's because Lei Huo has tracked his tracks so far. Thinking of this, she felt very guilty and said, "Brother Jiufeng, it's because of me that you are like this, I'm really sorry." ”
"Hey, people like us, if we don't get stabbed for a few days, our bodies will itch and feel uncomfortable, and these knives from Lei Huo just relieve my itch. ”
Shi Mingxuan pondered: "Who is here this time?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Qiuhe. ”
As soon as he heard the name Yuan Qiuhe, his whole face changed. Shi Mingxuan, as the chief envoy of the western realm of the Jackdaw Gate, is known as the first master of the western realm of Anchuan, and is in charge of the affairs of the Jackdaw Gate in the western realm of Anchuan. He said, "How could it be her? It seems that we can't stay here for long, and we must leave tomorrow." ”
Bai Chu was puzzled: "So anxious? Who is Yuan Qiuhe?"
Jiufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in an unpredictable voice: "A demon who kills people without blinking." ”
Bai Chu asked again, "Why did you encounter the thunder fire?"
"Thunderfire has recently summoned seventy-two assassins and is coming at you. When I secretly inquired about their news, I found that the leader turned out to be Yuan Qiuhe. She found out I was following them, and I was too quick to dodge. This female demon is the second leader of the Thunder Fire Organization, and she is young, and she has killed more people than the entire Jackdaw Gate. ”
She silently recited this name in her heart, it was a name that sounded very beautiful, no matter how she thought about it, it had nothing to do with the devil, and she couldn't help asking, "Yuan Qiuhe, is it so powerful?"
Jiufeng replied: "Yes, she is more ruthless than the poisonous water beast, this kind of person, it is better to avoid it from afar." ”
Bai Chu thought that it was because of himself that they had to run around like this, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart: "Because of me, I really don't want to let you run around like this." ”
Jiufeng couldn't deny: "Little girl, don't be careful, we took other people's money, of course we have to protect you, or we will smash our own signboard." The golden sign of Jackdaw Gate is not for fun, you can rest assured. ”
Shi Mingxuan said on the side: "Okay, say a few words, and have a good rest." Then he took Bai Chu out of Jiufeng's room, and said to Bai Chu outside the door: "Pack up your things when you go back, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Bai Chu asked, "Then where are we going?"
"Back to Jackdaw's Gate. ”
In the morning, she counted the things she wanted to bring, only to find that she was alone, there was nothing to pack and clean up, her hands were empty, there was no burden, and it was a good thing in the end.
Before closing the door, she put the scarf that Shi Mingxuan had prepared in advance on her face, covering her face, and finally looked around the room, her eyes fell on the envelope on the desk by the window, and there was a trace of emotion in her heart, but the reason of revenge quickly overcame everything.
Eventually, she closed the door and left the room without looking back, leaving the envelope on the table.
