On the sheep intestine path, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and they were imprinted in front of Qin Shu's eyes layer by layer, so that she couldn't see the details on the ground clearly, and she could only grope forward by the faint moonlight.

The clean plain clothes have been stained with a lot of dust, and the embroidered shoes on the feet are not the same as their original faces, only a pair of eyes are still as clear as water, and the temperament has not been reduced.

After Wei Feiyan got Qin Shu's answer, he dropped a piece of white jade token and flew away. Qin Shu got up and wanted to leave, when his voice suddenly came from the air, like a stone in a jade mountain.

"This is a token, take it to Qinlou to find me tomorrow, and the more time comes."

After a while, there was no other sound in the air, only the rustling of leaves. Wei Feiyan didn't say what would happen if Qin Shu didn't come, but both of them tacitly kept silent.

After only a pillar of incense, Qin Shu already had a general understanding of Wei Feiyan, and he would never do anything unprepared. She also stopped thinking about escaping, let it be at ease with the encounter, and first figure out the origin of this body before talking about anything else.

The cold moonlight fell on Qin Shu's body, and her plain clothes were particularly conspicuous among the layers of trees. In the night, several small farmhouse courtyards stood quietly, and the faint candle flame illuminated the figures dimly.

Qin Shu carefully arranged her clothes up and down, slung the burden on her shoulders, and approached the small courtyard briskly. Now that the city gate should be closed, I can only find a small courtyard to spend the night first, and then enter the city tomorrow.

"Knock Knock"

Inside, an old woman with her hair in a bun was bowing her head and sewing the linen clothes in her hand by the faint candlelight. Hearing a knock at the door, she stuck the needle into the cloth bag beside her, got up with difficulty, and walked to the door with her right hand on her waist and trembling.

The moonlight tonight seemed to be exceptionally bright, making her cloudy eyes seem to see the heavenly immortals descending to earth. The girl in front of the old woman seemed to have just come out of the forest, her hair was slightly scattered, but her eyes were as clear and clean as the moonlight, as if they would glow.

The old woman has lived on the edge of Qincheng for many years, and has been in and out of Qincheng, and she is fortunate to have seen all kinds of beauties in Qincheng, but she thinks that she has never seen a person with the temperament of the girl in front of her. If the empty valley is secluded, but it is like a breeze in the forest, even if she is embarrassed, it does not reduce her elegance.

"The old man is disturbed, it's getting late and there is no hope of entering the city, I wonder if I can spend the night here?" Seeing the old woman staring at her and not saying a word, Qin Shu became a little curious about her appearance.

To be able to cause such a response from others is either excellent or very bad. It's just that Qin Shu noticed the envy in the old woman's eyes, which should be excellent.

The girl's voice is also like the sound of the sky, like the murmuring of flowing water, melodious and crisp. The old woman put away her wandering thoughts, stared at the girl in front of her, smiled kindly, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the small courtyard is simple, I'm afraid the girl won't be used to it."

The girl's skin is as white as snow, delicate and delicate, and I don't know if it is the moonlight lining people or the people are brighter than the moon, at first glance, she is a young lady from a large family.

Hearing this, Qin Shu covered her mouth, smiled, and said, "If there is no mother-in-law to take her in, the little girl will be sleeping in the wilderness, why dislike it."

The old woman smiled as well, turned around hurriedly, and introduced Qin Shu into the house. The room was dark, except for an oil lamp by the window, which kept the whole room dark.

The old woman took out a mattress from under the bed, and took Qin Shu into the inner room, where there was only a wooden bed with a layer of straw on it, and it was evident that no one had lived in it for a long time.

"My son and daughter-in-law have always lived here, but now that they have a family business in Qincheng, they are free, and I hope the girl will not dislike it." The old woman explained to Qin Shu while spreading the futon.

"Mother-in-law laughed again, but I nagged you." Qin Shu stood by the bed and helped the old woman arrange the bedding and chuckled.

"My wife would like someone to talk to." The old woman sighed and muttered to herself. One bed apart, and the old woman's voice was very small, Qin Shu didn't hear clearly.

Although she is over the age of Jiazi, the old woman's hands and feet are still very strong, and she was in a trance when she got up because of sitting for a long time. With the help of Qin Shu, the two of them laid out the futon in just a cup of tea.

"Then girl, you can rest here, and the old woman will go out first." The old woman was about to turn around and leave, "There are still a lot of clothes waiting for the old woman to sew and mend." ”

Without stopping, she hurried out of the inner room, where the dim candle flame illuminated her back even more gloomily. The slightly bent body slowly walked in front of the door, a candlelight, a lonely posture, extremely desolate.

Qin Shu stood beside the bed, quietly watching the figure of the old woman disappear behind the door, her dry lips open and closed, but she did not say a word.

She's just a passerby after all.

There was a small window in the inner room, and the cold moonlight fell on Qin Shu's fair-skinned Shengxue's cheeks, faintly shining as if it were shining. Qin Shu sighed softly, put the objects on her body on the side of the bed, her fingertips touched the burden on her shoulder, her heart moved, she took the burden in her hand, and groped carefully.

Qin Shu shook her head in annoyance, and said softly: "Why didn't you pay attention before, this fabric shouldn't be an ordinary thing!"

Qin Shu took out the clothes in the bag again, the delicate and smooth texture, as soft as water, and faintly shining in the moonlight. Thinking of the ancient garment-making technology, Qin Shu walked out of the inner room without hesitation with a piece of clothing.

Under the flickering candlelight, the old woman's eyes narrowed into a line, and she struggled to weave the needle back and forth between the linen room. From time to time, I brought my clothes close to the candle flame, looked at them carefully for a while, and then began to sew them again. The old woman was so focused on Mai that she didn't notice that Qin Shu had already walked up.

On the uneven wall, two figures swayed with the light. One person's green silk is scattered, his temperament is dusty, and the other person's hair is tied up, and his posture is rickety.

Qin Shu looked quietly for a while, and when she saw the old woman stop her movements again, she slowly spoke, and said, "Mother-in-law, I have some clothes here, I wonder if I can change some silver taels for you?"

Hearing this sound outside the world, the old woman immediately put down the sackcloth in her hand and looked up at Qin Shu. In the dimly lit room, she was like a ray of light, and as soon as she appeared, she suppressed the candle flame as well.

The old woman hesitated, turned her slightly cloudy eyes to the head of the bed, looked at the fairy-like person in front of her, and said, "Yes, it's just that the old woman only has some copper coins, so don't dislike the girl."

Qin Shu stretched out her hand and placed the clothes in her hand on the table in front of the old woman, and her jade-like wrist was covered under the light fine yarn.

Only then did the old woman notice that the clothes in Qin Shu's hands were delicate and exquisite, and the light could be faintly seen flickering with the naked eye. The old woman had sewn clothes for decades, and it was the first time I had seen such a shiny garment.

The old woman looked at Qin Shu in surprise, Qin Shu's clothes had not changed, why did such a fairy-like person fall to the point of staying overnight?

Seeing that the old woman didn't speak for a long time, just staring at herself, Qin Shu's heart flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Girl, your clothes are old women, I can't change this yard even if I sell it!" The old woman wanted to reach out and touch it, but when she saw the rough calluses on her hands, she put her hands under the table and covered them with sackcloth.

Qin Shu came back to her senses, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, and she said softly: "Then mother-in-law tell me about Qincheng, this is the first time that the little girl has left home, and when she heard that the scenery of Qincheng is infinite, she wanted to come and see, but she got lost halfway and was delayed for a while."

"I see, girl, the old woman has a word, don't you mind!" Saying that, the old woman glanced at Qin Shu, saw her nodding, and continued: "You are alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to save your life in this Qin City!"

Hearing this, Qin Shu became interested, which was different from what she saw in the letter.

"Please also ask your mother-in-law to tell me more." Qin Shu leaned close to the table and sat sideways on the clean but somewhat dilapidated bench.

Qin Shu's clear eyes were full of anticipation and curiosity, and in the eyes of the old woman, she only thought that she must be the eldest lady who secretly ran out of the house, and wanted to see the prosperity of this Qin City, so she came here.

This reminded the old woman that when she was still not out of the cabinet, she was like this, sitting around the elders who had entered the city with a group of friends, and listening to them talk about that strange world.

The old woman was full of emotion for a while, but now the storyteller has been replaced by her, but the number of people listening to the story is gradually decreasing.

"If the girl wants to hear it, the old woman will say everything." The old woman withdrew from her thoughts and looked at the person in front of her.

"Mother-in-law said."

The old woman put the needle and thread in her hand and the linen clothes on the table, and a trace of clarity flashed in her cloudy eyes, and she asked rhetorically, "The girl must have come for the name of this 'City of Ten Thousand Cities', right?"

Qin Shu bowed her head, the old woman's eyes were clear, and she continued, "Actually, this Qin City also has another nickname: the City of Ten Thousand Evils, even the current Four Great Monarchs dare to provoke easily!" Speaking of this, the old woman straightened her back a little, and her whole body suddenly became proud and honored.

The old woman glanced at Qin Shu, and saw that the other party's eyes really revealed a more excited brilliance, and her heart was even more proud, "Anyone who enters Qincheng for the first time, no one can sleep peacefully, and the middle of the night is the real Qincheng!" ”

Since the old woman's son left, no one had listened to her so seriously, and the old woman glanced at Qin Shu casually.

Qin Shu sat at the table, dressed in plain clothes, the simple desktop did not hide half of her temperament, and the moonlight obliquely shining outside the window added a bit of coldness to her, like a beautiful woman in the Guanghan Palace on the moon.

Shaking her head slightly, the old woman continued: "Most of the people in Qin City are extremely vicious people, and their hands are stained with blood. Therefore, you must pay attention to the girl, even the children you meet on the road are not to be underestimated. ”

As she spoke, the old woman glanced at Qin Shu again, and said earnestly: "With the girl's peerless appearance, it is better to wear a veil or a curtain fence." Although the city lord of Qin has already established rules and regulations, there are no longer a few people who violate the yang and yin, so it is better to be cautious! ”

Qin Shu arched her hand slightly, and said softly: "Thank you mother-in-law for reminding me, the little girl has written it down."

The old woman nodded with satisfaction and continued to tell Qin Shu about Qin City, "If you want to say that this Qin City can stand between the four countries without being occupied, the biggest hero is this Qin Tower." The old woman paused and asked, "The girl should know about Qin Lou, right?"

"I know a little bit about it." Qin Shu's face did not change, she only knew this name from Wei Feiyan, combined with Wei Feiyan's reaction, I think it should be a powerful force in the rivers and lakes.

"Enter the Qin Tower, there is no one to leave!" When she said this, a burst of momentum suddenly appeared on the old woman's body, as if a strong wind was blowing, and suddenly disappeared completely.

The old woman glanced at Qin Shu nervously, and seeing that she didn't seem to feel it, she was secretly relieved, and continued: "Unlike the imperial court, the forces of the rivers and lakes are complicated, and to sum it up, it is only two sects, five sects and seven sects on the first floor, and the Qin Tower is that floor!"
