Chapter 72: The Republic of China Period
One night during the Republic of China, the moon hung high, and the soft moonlight was scattered in every corner of the earth.
A little girl runs forward with her legs wide open. "Bang" accidentally, his foot slipped, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.
She quickly got up and tried to run again.
With a "whoosh", a long green sword, emitting a dazzling green light, blocked directly in front of her.
The little girl immediately turned around and ran to the left.
"Whoosh" The green sword seemed to guess the little girl's intentions, and immediately flew to her left again.
The little girl frowned, stared at the green sword, and slowly retreated.
"Huh"
The green sword immediately rushed over, and the little girl turned around lightly, and the green sword stabbed into the air.
The little girl took the opportunity to continue running. The green sword, which had stayed in mid-air, rushed towards the little girl again.
"Huh"
The green sword caught up with the little girl, and instead of stabbing her with the tip of the sword, it wrapped itself around the little girl like a rope.
The little girl was a little panicked, and she kept twisting her body, but the more she moved, the tighter the green sword became entangled.
The little girl felt out of breath, so she opened her mouth wide and kept panting, her breathing became heavier and heavier, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
When she closed her eyes, it was as if she saw a familiar figure rushing towards her......
"Qiu Xuan, wake up."
The little girl vaguely heard someone calling her name, and she slowly opened her eyes, and saw a familiar face through the gap between her eyes.
"Xiao Ze is you?" She tentatively called out a name and fainted......
When the woman woke up, she found herself lying at home.
When she looked again, there was a man lying on the table, who was asleep deeply. He was wearing only a short coat. She quickly took a coat and draped it over the man, but as soon as he put it on, the man woke up.
"I'm sorry to break you." The woman apologized. The man smiled at her.
"Are you awake?" At this time, a man in a trench coat came in from outside the door. This man has short hair, fair skin, and a long trench coat, which makes him even more gentlemanly.
"Jiong Yan, you're up too." The woman smiled and greeted the man in the trench coat. Then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Xiao Ze pointed to the woman who went out and said, "This Qiu Xuan is a 'Soul Purifier', we have to protect her well."
It's best not to let her out of our sight again in the future. Ricky appeared last night, but fortunately I arrived in time, in case it was too late, this Qiu Xuan would have been captured by Ricky. ”
Jiong Yan glanced at Qiu Xuan and said slowly: "This Qiu Xuan should have something in her heart, she has been wandering around the song hall these days."
And the expression was slightly sad. I guess I secretly went to the song hall yesterday when I was out. ”
Xiao Ze also noticed, "We must protect the 'Soul Purifier' this time, and we must not repeat the tragedy of six hundred years ago." ”
Jiong Yan nodded and promised, "We will destroy Xiaotian no matter what we do this time." ”
Xiao Ze and Jiong Yan came out of the window and looked at the busy traffic in the attic.
"It's been six hundred years, and we haven't changed at all." Xiao Ze recalled the past and felt a lot.
Jiong Yan stroked the jade flute with his hand, looked at Xiao Ze, then looked at himself in the mirror, and said with a smile: "Why hasn't there been any change?" Times have changed, we used to have long hair, now we have short hair. The dress has also changed. ”
"No matter how much it changes, there is one thing that never changes." Xiao Ze glanced at Jiong Yan, "Our mission hasn't changed. ”
When Xiao Ze thought of the task and the "Soul Purifier", there was a sadness in his eyes.
Six hundred years ago, the "Soul Purifier" Mu Yu broke out of grief and anger, and the task of destroying the Great Demon King Xiaotian was also declared a failure.
The failure of the mission, coupled with the deaths of Yu Ruo, Mu Yu and Tang Yi, dealt a big blow to Xiao Ze and Jiong Huo.
Especially Xiao Ze, he was depressed for a long time before he slowly came out of his sadness.
But sometimes in the dead of night, Xiao Ze will still take out the hairpin to recall the past. Every time I think about it, my heart hurts.
Jiong Yan persuaded him to forget, but the past had left a mark in Xiao Ze's heart, and it was hard to forget.
Jiong Yan didn't want him to feel uncomfortable, so he tried to avoid mentioning the past.
"Dinner is ready." Qiu Xuan came to the attic with the food, and the three of them gathered around the table to enjoy breakfast.
Xiao Ze took a sip of a bowl of porridge and said to Qiu Xuan: "Qiu Xuan, you have a special identity, you'd better not leave me and Jiong Yan's side in the future."
If you're going anywhere, it's best to have us with you. How dangerous it was last night. The voice was slightly reproachful.
Qiu Xuan put down her chopsticks, lowered her head and said softly, "I know." ”
Xiao Ze quickly finished eating and went out.
Jiong Yan looked at Qiu Xuan and guessed, "Is there something in your heart?" ”
Qiu Xuan shook her head.
"Then why do you always go to the song hall?"
"Can't you go?" Qiu Xuan asked Jiong Yan rhetorically.
"It's not that you can't go, you'd better not go alone."
"Don't worry. Wherever I go in the future, I will tell you first. I'll never run out on my own again. ”
Jiong Yan felt that this Qiu Xuan had something in her heart, but she didn't want to say it. He didn't bother to ask.
Qiu Xuan finished eating at this time and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table. It means that you want to go out to buy groceries.
Jiong Yan immediately accompanied him out.
When the two were shopping for vegetables, they saw Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze was putting the rickshaw aside and sitting on the side of the road to rest.
"Xiao Ze." Qiu Xuan shouted loudly.
Seeing that it was Qiu Xuan and Jiong Yan, Xiao Ze smiled at them and immediately beckoned.
Qiu Xuan and Jiong Yan came over, and Qiu Xuan asked, "Are you tired of pulling a rickshaw?" The words are full of concern.
Xiao Ze smiled and waved his hand.
"Xiao Ze, how is your business today? How many guests have been pulled," Xiao Ze looked for prestige. There was a burly man who asked Xiao Ze while wiping his sweat.
Qiu Xuan, Jiong Yan and Xiao Ze all know this person, this person's name is Da Long, and Xiao Ze and Xiao Ze are both pulling rickshaws. Xiao Ze has a good relationship with him.
Xiao Ze thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know." There is no count. ”
After saying hello to Qiu Xuan and Jiong Yan, Dalong gave Xiao Ze a thumbs up, "Xiao Ze, your physical strength is so good!" I don't think you can run for a few days and nights. ”
Qiu Xuan and Jiong Yan thought to themselves: This Xiao Ze is not an ordinary person, of course his physical strength is good.
"Jiong Yan, you play a tune, let us listen to it." Dalong once went to Xiao Ze's house and heard Jiong Yan play the flute, the flute sound was very beautiful, in Da Long's words, Jiong Yan's flute sound is not better than the bird's call.
Jiong Yan shook his head, and when he was about to refuse, he saw Dalong staring at him tightly, his eyes full of hope.
I couldn't refuse for a while, so I immediately took out my flute and blew it gently.
The melodious sound of the flute slowly drifted around. Passers-by stopped to admire.
After the flame is blown. There was thunderous applause all around.
Some people also paid Jiong Yan for him, hoping that he could play another song.
Jiong Yan was about to reject everyone.
saw that Xiao Ze was already holding the vegetable basket that Qiu Xuan was hanging, put away the money one by one, and bowed while collecting the money and said, "Thank you." ”
Jiong Yan rolled his eyes at Xiao Ze and sighed silently: "Alas, it's really easy to change, and it's easy to be natural." Hundreds of years have passed, and I still can't get rid of the problem of greedy for money. ”
After Xiao Ze collected the money one by one, he motioned to Jiong Yan and asked him to play another song.
Jiong Yan reluctantly played another song. Wait until the end of this blowing. One by one, the crowd dispersed.
After the crowd dispersed. After Xiao Ze sorted out the money one by one, he happily counted the money.
The big dragon's eyes fell on the stack of money in Xiao Ze's hand, and said enviously: "Good guy, I have to pull a rickshaw for several days to earn so much money." ”
Then he looked at Jiong Yan, and immediately held Jiong Yan's hand tightly and stared at Ji Yan.
Dalong's "affectionate" gaze made Jiong Yan uncomfortable, and he immediately asked, "Dalong, what's the matter with you looking at me like this?" ”
Dalong said word by word to Jiong Yan: "I will worship you as a teacher and teach me to play the flute." When I learned to play the flute, I didn't have to pull a cart anymore. ”
Jiong Yan stared at Dalong blankly, not knowing how to answer.
After Xiao Ze collected the money on the side, he said to Da Long, "It's okay." Then you choose to pay the tuition. ”
As soon as Dalong heard that he had to pay the tuition, he immediately let go of Jiong Yan's hand and muttered, "Forget it." I was joking with Jiongyan. ”
Xiao Ze said to Da Long: "I know that you are reluctant to spend money." ”
"Dalong, what's in your car?" Qiu Xuan suddenly pointed to Da Long's car and asked.
Dalong looked at his car and found that there was an object wrapped in cloth on the seat of his car.
The big dragon fox took the thing off suspiciously.
"What is here?" Xiao Ze asked.
Dalong shook his head, "I don't know. How can this happen in my car? ”
Qiu Xuan proposed to open him.
Dalong immediately opened the cloth slowly.
After opening the cloth, a bloody human head suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Xiao Ze and Jiong Yan looked very calm, and Qiu Xuan frowned slightly.
"Ahh Dalong was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
"Ah, murder!" Some people were about to come to take the rickshaw when they accidentally saw the head and were so frightened that they screamed.
The scream alarmed several police officers who were patrolling outside. Seeing this, they immediately took Da Long, Xiao Ze, Jiong Yan, and Qiu Xuan to the patrol room to understand the situation.
A twenty-eight-nine-year-old man, dressed in a police uniform, came to Xiao Ze and the others.
The clear eyes revealed a stern gaze, and moved back and forth in front of several of them, slowly sitting down on a chair,
Slowly, he asked, "Say it." What's going on with the head? The voice exuded majesty.
One of the officers came up to the man and replied, "Inspector Qiu, we accidentally found it when we were on patrol today." So bring these people in for questioning. ”
Inspector Qiu was satisfied with the officers' approach and nodded at them. Then he looked at Xiao Ze and the others, but he hadn't asked yet.
The dragon said to him eagerly, "This head has nothing to do with us. Then the dragon told him where the head had come from.
Inspector Qiu squinted at them, "So this head came to your car by itself?" He was a little skeptical of what Dalong said.
"We really don't know how this head ended up in my car." Seeing that the detective didn't believe him, Dalong was so anxious that he almost cried.
Inspector Qiu came to Dalong's side and asked, "How do you prove that the human head has nothing to do with you?" ”
Dalong was stunned for a moment and said, "This has nothing to do with us in the first place. ”
"Excuse me, Detective, how do you prove that this head is related to us? Jiong Yan looked at the detective.
Inspector Qiu was speechless for a while, he really didn't have any evidence to prove that this head was related to them.
Inspector Qiu looked at them and said, "Come on, take them down first." ”
Xiao Ze and several others were imprisoned.
