The West Garden, as the name suggests, is located in the west of the city and is a large garden.

Now it was past dusk, and the flowers, under the shade of the trees, and among the pavilions, were already lit up with starry lights. The evening breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, but also the smell of wine. The full moon is like a mirror, hanging in the treetops, the tree is a lianli tree, a tall red kapok, two lianli, combined into one, like lovers hugging.

There is a lotus pond of several acres in the west garden, and there are dozens of tables along the wooden path by the lotus pond, and now there are many people sitting on it, from all walks of life, men, women and children.

Lu Xiaofeng picked an empty table near the lotus pond and sat down, looked around, frowned and asked, "Do you know what Ouyang Qing looks like?" ”

"I don't know." Su Yang shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "Then do you know what the person who connected with her looks like?" ”

"I don't know either." Su Yang still shook his head, he didn't even know who was going to connect with her, let alone the appearance of the connector?

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and asked, "Then what are we doing here?" Could it be that when we saw two women together, we got up and talked to them and asked them if they were Ouyang Qing? ”

"If you're willing to strike up a conversation, I'm sure at least half of the girls here will willingly tell you the truth."

Su Yang said with a smile: "Actually, as far as I know, the people of the Red Shoes Organization have a characteristic, that is, no matter what clothes they wear, the shoes on their feet are red embroidered shoes. So we just need to find a woman in red shoes. ”

"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng felt very strange.

"Women are beautiful in red shoes, and women can do anything for the sake of beauty. Isn't that enough? Su Yang said with a smile.

"Sometimes I really have a hard time understanding a woman's thoughts." Lu Xiaofeng shrugged.

In the midst of these few words chatting with Lu Xiaofeng, Su Yang suddenly thought of the pair of red embroidered shoes under Ouyang Qing's bed.

Since they wear red shoes no matter what they wear, why would there be a pair under the bed? Could it be that Ouyang Qing went out this time?

Under what circumstances would a woman go out? Or does she have several pairs of these shoes?

But what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking about at this time: how to find a woman in red shoes.

"Are we going to go under every girl's skirt and take a look?" He asked.

"Why not?" Su Yang smiled: "Anyway, the women in the Red Shoes Organization may be very beautiful, and when we see a beautiful girl, we will get under his skirt." There is a reason to investigate the case, and many bad things that you usually don't dare to do, don't want to do, and can't pull down your face can be done with confidence. ”

At this moment, Su Yang suddenly closed his mouth. His eyes tightened.

As far as the eye could see, an old woman stepped out from under the shadow of a tree.

A very old woman, dressed in a teal dress full of patches. It was as if a great stone had pressed down on her back, as if it had crushed her waist from the middle.

When she walked, it was as if she was bent over all the time, looking for something on the ground. The light shone on her face, and her face was full of wrinkles. It looked like a piece of tissue paper that had been crumpled and unfolded.

I can meet her like this!

"Sugar-fried chestnuts"

She also carried a large bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a very thick cotton cloth, and she walked in the West Garden while shouting: "The sugar fried chestnuts that have just been put on the market, the fragrant and hot sugar fried chestnuts, are only ten cents a catty." ”

Lu Xiaofeng also heard the shouting and glanced back.

This one look. It made him feel very uncomfortable. A lonely, widowed and poor old woman has reached the twilight of her life. And to come out in her almost completely hoarse voice, shouting for her sugar-fried chestnuts one after another.

He was already a very sympathetic person, and he beckoned to the old woman: "Old woman, come here, I'll buy two catties." ”

The chestnuts were really fragrant and hot. And it's just on the market.

"You said ten pennies a pound?"

The old woman nodded, still bent over, as if she had been looking at Lu Xiaofeng's feet, because her waist couldn't stand up at all.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Ten pennies and a pound will never work!" Such a good chestnut costs at least ten taels of silver a pound, and I won't buy it for a penny. ”

The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.

"Ten taels of silver a catty, if you are willing to sell, I will buy two catties."

The old woman said: "Of course I am willing to sell, and I am willing to sell twenty taels and one pound." ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "But I also have something to ask you to do me a favor." ”

The old woman smiled bitterly: "Of course it's good, but an old woman like me, what else can I do for you?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Your waist has bent and it seems that you are always looking for something on the ground, so I want you to find something for me." ”

"Looking for what?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Find a woman wearing red shoes, and there is an owl embroidered on the red shoes." ”

The old woman also smiled, this kind of thing asked her to do, it was no more appropriate, even if she got under other people's skirts, others would not be suspicious.

She took the twenty taels of silver, and her eyes were already smiling into a line: "Uncle, you are waiting here, and when you find me, I will come back and sue you." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you can find it, I will buy you five catties of chestnuts when you come back." ”

The old woman left happily.

Lu Xiaofeng was even happier, not only happy, but also proud.

Su Yang didn't say a word until the old woman walked away, and then he smiled and said, "Only a smart person like you can come up with such a smart idea." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyebrows danced: "Of course, many people say that I am a genius, and I think this sentence is very right." ”

He said as he peeled a chestnut. , the chestnuts are still hot, hot and fragrant.

"But you forget one thing, genius is always short-lived." Su Yang said.

Lu Xiaofeng had already brought the chestnuts to his mouth, but when he heard Su Yang's words, he stopped and said, "Do you look like I look like someone who died early?" ”

"I don't know how to look at faces, I only know drugs." Suyang Road.

"Poison. Where is it toxic? Lu Xiaofeng sniffed the chestnut in his hand, shook his head and said in disbelief: "You mean this chestnut?" ”

He continued: "Why should a lonely old woman sell poisonous chestnuts? And it's not just the two of us here. If someone else buys her chestnuts, won't she also be poisoned, is she sick and likes to watch people be poisoned? It's not good at all. ”

"But have you seen anyone else buy her chestnuts besides you?" Su Yang asked.

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. He was not a careless man, and he had been watching the old woman since she was gone. But she sold all the way, and no one bought her chestnuts.

Is it because the old woman is so old, and the old one is a little disgusting. So except for Lu Xiaofeng, a kind-hearted person, there is no one else willing to take food from her hands at all?

Su Yang took a chestnut from the table, gently kneaded it into powder, and sprinkled it into the lotus pond next to the table.

Suddenly a few golden carp floated up in the pool. Scramble to grab the powder of chestnuts. After a while, he ate all the crushed chestnuts floating on the water.

Then the fish, without exception, turned their bellies white, and soon their bellies began to rot at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in less than a cup of tea, a few carp became skeletons of bones.

The black skeleton of bones slowly sank to the bottom of the water, and soon became invisible, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiaofeng's face turned green. If it weren't for Su Yang's reminder, it wouldn't be a fish if it was a bone frame now. It's him.

"You, how do you tell?"

Su Yang said mysteriously: "I got a strange book, and the book introduces poison in great detail, and I won't tell you anything, I can be regarded as a drug user now." ”

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him and asked, "Since she wants to poison us, she must have a purpose, is she the real embroidery thief?" ”

Not far away, the old woman had staggered over, and although she walked with an old look, her steps were still very light. She wore a long skirt that dragged to the floor to cover her feet, and of course her shoes.

There were already a lot of chestnut shells on the table, and Lu Xiaofeng and Su Yang were still sitting with smiles, and the old woman was not the slightest surprised, not even the slightest change in her expression, she could really calm down.

Didn't she know that chestnuts were poisonous?

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "There don't seem to be women in red shoes in this place, there are two people wearing purple shoes and yellow shoes." ”

Su Yang also smiled and said, "There is also one wearing red shoes, I have found it." ”

The old woman said, "Uncle, have you found it?" Where?"

Lu Xiaofeng snorted: "Right here, it's you!" ”

The old woman looked at them in surprise: "It's me?" Would an old woman like me wear red shoes?"

Su Yang said: "Not only is it red, but there is also an owl embroidered on it." ”

The old woman laughed suddenly, and her voice changed completely, and if you closed your eyes and did not look at her, the voice would be completely that of a girl.

Her laughter was like a silver bell, more beautiful than a silver bell: "You didn't eat my sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"Nope." Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng said in unison.

"Such a good fried chestnut with sugar, why don't you eat it?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "There are a few things in the rivers and lakes that are absolutely untouchable. ”

"What?"

"Grandma Xiong's sugar-fried chestnuts, the female butcher's pig-killing knife, the peach blossom bee's lover's stinger, and the peach blossom poison of the five poisonous lady. But the most troublesome thing is the owl with red shoes, and it is said that it is more difficult to see this owl than it is to see the belly buttons of these women. ”

The old woman shook her head and sighed, "Yes, it is said that everyone who has seen it will die." You've seen both. ”

"We haven't seen it yet." Lu Xiaofeng looked at the old woman's skirt and said.

The old woman shook her head: "You have seen it, you must have seen it, it is in Ouyang's room." ”

"Because of this, you're going to poison us? I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? Lu Xiaofeng sneered.

The old woman sneered and stopped talking.

Her sword is the answer.

A pair of short swords were in her basket, and the swords were tied with bright red colored satin.

Just when Su Yang saw these short swords, the sword light flashed, and the sword blade had reached the throat of him and Lu Xiaofeng.

What a quick shot, such a fast sword!

Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to take it, he was afraid that the sword blade would be poisonous, but he could hide.

Suddenly, his man slid out like a swimming fish, reacting quickly and moving faster.

Su Yang's upper body didn't move, and the whole person, together with the chair under his buttocks, slid backwards for more than a zhang.

Although the old woman's sword is fast, she miscalculated, no matter how fast her double sword is, she is only one person.

So she didn't hesitate to chase Lu Xiaofeng.

No matter where Lu Xiaofeng's people went, the flashing and flying sword light immediately followed, her swordsmanship seemed to be different from any other school in the world, what she held was the red segment on the hilt, and the red satin drove the short sword, which was far more flexible than using her hands, and the changes in her moves were so fast. It's even more incredible.

The sword light was like a rainbow of lightning, and the leaves were destroyed by the sword qi of Sen Han, and the pieces fell, and in an instant, they were crushed by the sword light, and even the bright moon of fifteen seemed to be forced to lose its brilliance by this sword qi of Sen Han.

Lu Xiaofeng originally thought that Ximen Fuxue and Ye Gucheng were already the fastest swordsmen in the world, but he couldn't imagine that there was such a person in the world.

He was even ready to flee, because he never thought that he could take the sword of Simon Blowing Snow, so he could not take both swords either.

Fortunately, there was a bloody sword behind the old woman.
