"Sister Bisheng, where are we going? Didn't you say that Sister Honglian and her brother-in-law came? In the remote and uninhabited alleys of Anzhou City, Chu Jiu raised his head timidly and asked.

Bi Sheng was a little nervous, and a little impatient because of nervousness: "Urging what?" When you should know, you will know. ”

Early in the morning, Bi Sheng was dragged out of the bed to go to the market, and while shopping, he inexplicably left her alone on the street, and clashed with several strange-looking foreigners, and then was dragged to a sparsely populated place and hurried. Although Chu Jiu is small but very clever, he feels that this day is not ordinary, and he can't help but be a little cautious.

"Sister Bisheng, my godfather and godmother said that I won't be allowed to go far......"

"What are you arguing about? Keep talking all the way, don't you bother? Are you still afraid that I will abduct you and sell you? Bi Sheng was annoyed by the noise, and reluctantly smiled apologetically after getting angry, "Okay, okay, it's my sister who is not good." Jiu'er was obedient, and the senior brother said that there was something urgent for me to take you to see him, and my sister would send you back when I was done, okay? Now, you can walk quietly with your sister now, and don't ask any more questions, okay? ”

Chu Jiu nodded, looking a little aggrieved and scared, and finally honest for a while, but after walking through the two alleys, the pleading sound sounded again.

"My stomach hurts, it hurts! Sister Bisheng, I want to go to the thatched house, I can't wait! ”

The more anxious she is, the more she has to go wrong, Bi Sheng is so annoyed that she can't get angry when she sees Chu Jiu's pitiful appearance, so she has to wave her hand impatiently: "I know, I know, I'll take you there!" It's really annoying to the individual! ”

Bi Sheng found a random thatched house in a remote corner, and saw Chu Jiu holding her stomach and bending over to go in and waiting outside, her eyes glancing in the direction of the river bank from time to time - according to the prior agreement, there would be someone waiting for her, waiting to pick Chu Jiu up, and all she had to do was to return to Wang Yuanwai's mansion to continue sleeping, pretending not to know anything about what was happening.

Everything was arranged seamlessly, and she even took Chu Jiu to the most crowded market, so that Chu Jiu had an argument with a few Hostu people who had been arranged in advance in full view. Bi Sheng is full of confidence in the plan, although she feels a little sorry for the poor little girl, but the other party has promised to find a good family to take care of Chu Jiu, and you can completely forget about your worries or something.

She already hates children, especially children who are very close to each other.

Waited and waited, still didn't see Chu Jiu come out, Bi Sheng shouted a few times and no one responded, he pinched his nose and rushed into the thatched house, but found that the thatched house was empty, there was no Chu Jiu figure at all, some were just the thatched roof that was lifted in a corner, and a few dirty footprints.

Growing up in the drunken wind and snow moon building full of people coming and going, full of sophistication, Chu Jiu is far better at observing words and emotions than children of the same age, and from the day she met Bi Sheng, she faintly found that this other sister who looks the same as Sister Bi Xiao does not like her, and sometimes shows a disgusted expression when she mentions Sister Honglian. The child is kind by nature after all, Chu Jiu has been quietly burying the little secret in her heart, trying to please the wayward Sister Bisheng, but the ending really makes her sad.

Sister Bisheng took her away without telling her godfather and godmother, and when she went out, she specially avoided the eyes and ears of her subordinates, obviously not wanting anyone to know who she was going with, as for the inexplicable conflict with strangers later, probably to let people know that there is such a group of people who shouldn't appear, right?

Chu Jiu couldn't guess Bi Sheng's plan thoroughly, but she understood that she had to escape decisively at this time, otherwise what was waiting for her would definitely not be a good end.

After years of hard work gave Chu Jiuyi good endurance, after climbing the thatched house and escaping from the roof of the shed, Chu Jiu ran back desperately according to the impression in his memory, seeing that the road was becoming more and more familiar, the tension in his heart gradually disappeared, and was replaced by the joy of escaping from the cage.

"Little sister, are you looking for someone in such a hurry?" A soft question, a tall figure blocked the way of Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu stopped his hurried steps and raised his head, his face turned pale in an instant.

It was a tall young man, with a deep silhouette and fair skin, apparently of the Khothdu tribe. Chu Jiu took a step to the side, trying to get through the narrow gap in the alley, who knew that the man was tall but very agile, and he picked Chu Jiu up with a slight bend, and there was no haze in his smile and expression.

"Disobedience will be taught a lesson by the elders. Come, I'll take you to that sister—don't shout, brother, it's scary for me to get angry! ”

The disparity in strength made Chu Jiu obediently shut up and didn't dare to say anything, gritting his teeth and watching Bi Sheng approach step by step.

"The person has been handed over to you, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me, how to explain it to the outside world is according to the pre-agreed agreement, I don't want to make extraneous branches." Bi Sheng didn't seem to dare to look at Chu Jiu, and after saying a few words in a low voice, he couldn't help but ask, "You won't do anything to her, will you?" ”

The man was still smiling brightly: "How is it possible? Kira just wanted to invite this little sister to be a guest, and it wouldn't hurt her. ”

"It's best if it's okay, I only know that everyone who has a relationship with Yan Liwu will suffer, and it can be regarded as a blessing to let her live in the Hosdu Empire away from that demon girl."

Chu Jiu had been listening silently to the conversation between the two, and only then did he understand that Bi Sheng was talking about Yan Li, and when he clenched his small fists, he smashed Bi Sheng hard: "Bad woman! You're the witch! You like your brother-in-law, so you want to hurt Sister Honglian! Bad woman! ”

Bi Sheng didn't expect Chu Jiu to suddenly erupt, and was suddenly punched, covering a red mark on his face and stunned, and only reacted after a while. Probably worried that Bi Sheng would fight back in anger, the man hurriedly hugged Chu Jiu and turned back half a step, and waved his hand in a panic: "Okay, okay, I'll take her away." ”

Chu Jiu's two little hands were grabbed by the man and struggled, seeing that Bi Sheng's resentful expression was getting farther and farther apart, he opened his mouth angrily and bit down on the man's shoulder, in exchange for a gasp and a wry smile: "Little sister, why do you bite like a cat and a dog?" I'm not a bad person, you'll find out later. ”

The man had long legs and big steps, and he walked quite fast, and as he spoke, he had already run to the remote ferry by the river, and stepped on a small boat with Chu Jiu on his shoulder. Gently put Chu Jiu in the corner and handed over a few sweet dates, seeing that Chu Jiu was still looking at him vigilantly and angrily, the man was quite entangled.

"Now, little sister, you can call me Brother Salang. Wait for us to sail to Lizhou, and when we arrive in Lizhou, we will have to take a carriage for a few more days, and then I will take you to meet a very beautiful fairy sister. That fairy sister will find you a good family to adopt in the Hosdu Empire, it must be better than living in the Yuan Kingdom, so ...... So don't bite your brother anymore, okay? It hurts! ”

Sa Lang was born with a kind air of Luotuo, and he had always protected Chu Jiu from Bi Sheng's hands just now, but Chu Jiu was not bored with him, and his round eyes and beads were rolling, but Chu Jiu had the idea of a friendly man in front of him.

"Uncle Salang, do you also hate Sister Red Lotus? Otherwise, why would you help Sister Bisheng bully me? Chu Jiu blinked his two big eyes, and his pitiful appearance was distressing.

Salang frowned with melancholy: "Call brother, don't call uncle, am I that old?" I'm not a few years older than your Red Lotus sister! ”

Chu Jiu stubbornly shook his head: "If you don't tell me, I'll call you uncle!" ”

"Okay, I know, it's not an important thing, I'll tell you if I tell you. Remember to change your words in the future and don't call you uncle! After a pause, Salang showed a gentle complexion, and the soft light of remembrance flashed in his eyes, "Actually, I don't hate her at all, on the contrary, I like her a lot, although I haven't seen her a few times." Now, little sister, you probably don't know yet, your sister Honglian is my sister, cousin, it's a pity that she left home too early, and I don't have time to get along with her, and she's ...... She couldn't remember such an unsuccessful cousin now. ”

The slight sadness in Xu Shi's tone was captured by Chu Jiu, and Chu Jiu, who was still very dissatisfied, gradually quieted down, tilted his head, and looked at Salang with clean eyes: "Then why did your uncle arrest me?" If you arrest me, Sister Honglian and brother-in-law will be in a hurry, if they can't find me, they will be very sad, I don't want them to be sad. ”

"It's all said that I won't call my uncle......" Salang sighed, his expression becoming darker, "Little sister, it's not that I want to be embarrassed - it's your sister Red Lotus." I arrested you to force her to go home, and if she doesn't come home, something terrible will happen in the future, you know? ”

"What does it mean to be bad?"

Chu Jiu's questioning made Salang fall silent suddenly, and the luster in his eyes gradually faded. After a long time, Salang smiled reluctantly and rubbed the top of Chu Jiu's head vigorously: "It's bad, it's very bad, it's the saddest thing in the world." ”

After being a little busy, Chu Jiu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Salang's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Honglian...... Will you be separated from your brother-in-law? ”

"Hmm." Some kind of inexplicable emotion captured Salang, hugged Chu Jiu's thin body suddenly, and pinched his nails into his palms, "Leave her...... She has to come back if she doesn't come home for too long...... She's going to die. ”

There are no waves on the river, and the boat is steady, carrying two people of different races, different identities, and different ages.

At the same time, several urgent letters were being sent to different places in various parts of the Great Abyss, some people saw the sweaty messengers on the post road, and some people saw the birds flying by the sky, but at this time, no one expected that the Great Abyss and even the entire Zhongzhou were about to fall into a more rampant beacon fire.

All of this has a lot to do with the Qinglian King, whose life and death are unknown, but as Wen Moqing said when he comforted and said that even if there is no Qinglian King, this day will come sooner or later.

At the top of Qixian Mountain, Tong Ruchu in a wheelchair had a flat letter on his lap, and his eyes looked at the squeaky and rotating waterwheel.

"The ambition of the Hosdu Empire, the great abyss has been deaf for several generations of emperors, and everything will inevitably lead to the current ending. However, the way of heaven will always leave an opportunity, whether they will be the key chess pieces to change the ending, we can only sit quietly and wait. Chu Yang—"

On the grass, the expressionless and cold young man answered in a low voice, bowed down to pick up the letter that had been dropped by the wind, and looked up, only to see that the eyes that were always close and kind were full of sharpness.

"Write to tell Zhong Yue to stop looking for Junbai. The two of you go to Xiaoqing's side as soon as possible, you must protect him and Miss Yan, and you must not let them become victims of this war. ”
