Chapter 644: Chivalrous Girl, I'm a Hard-working Soy Sauce Party (19)
I don't know who the murderer is, but there are indeed many suspects. With such a complicated environment as Wujimen, Qian Qian didn't dare to take it lightly, so she decided to follow the girl's instructions and leave the scene quickly so as not to attract the attention of those who care.
Qian Qian carried the medicine basket on her back and continued to walk up the mountain, she decided to continue digging Tian Qi, today no matter what, there must be an herb to prevaricate, even if it is used just in case.
Prudence is always a good habit, and Qian Qian was extremely glad about his decision. She searched for a long time in the shade of the tree by the stream, and it was not until the sun set that she dug up a decent Tianqi. Qian Qian covered Tian Qi with soft weeds, carried the medicine basket and walked down the mountain step by step, and just when he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw two disciples standing by the mountain road, one left and one right, and immediately stopped her when he saw Qian Qian.
"Are you a disciple who went up the mountain today?" A disciple looked at Qian Qian's dirty white clothes: "What time did you go up the mountain?" What to do? In which direction did you go? β
"What's wrong with the brothers? What's going on? Qian Qian blinked in confusion: "I have been digging medicinal herbs in the mountains every day these days, and now it is early autumn, Tian Qi has grown up, if it blooms in late autumn, it will not be able to dig, I want to try my luck, so I go up the mountain every day to find it." It's been like this for the past few days, and no one has asked me. β
"Oh?" A disciple with a slightly dark suit stared at Qian Qian a few times as if he was suspicious, and then asked, "You went to collect medicine?" How many days have you been going up the mountain in a row? What did you see on the mountain today? β
"Senior brother!" Another long-faced disciple who had not spoken all this stopped his junior brother who lacked heart, he turned to Qian Qian and showed a kind smile, and said softly: "Senior sister, don't panic, because there are wild beasts in the mountain behind the sect today, so the head of the sect sent us here to ask the disciples who went up the mountain today to see if any of them were implicated and injured." What unusual movements can you find on the mountain today? β
"Nope!" Of course, the dragon set of the actress Jun Qian skewers would not be easily exposed, she stared at the long-faced disciple with a confused expression and asked, "What does the unusual movement that Senior Brother mean by that?" β
"Which way does my sister go up the mountain? What to expect today? The long-faced disciple did not answer Qian Qian's question, but asked back with a smile.
"It's just going up the path to the back mountain of our sect," Qian Qian stretched out his hand and gestured back: "After that, the fork in the road has been going west, and continue to go up along the stream." I searched for a day, but I only found one herb. β
"Oh?" The long-faced disciple smiled: "Senior sister has been going west along the stream?" Why this path? Didn't think about looking south? I remember the jungle on the southern slope was a great place to dig for herbs. β
South Slope? Hehe...... Qian Qian sneered in his heart. This long-faced disciple is really smart! Rounding the circle and clichΓ©s. Isn't Nanpo the place where the girl had an accident just now!
"Senior brother doesn't know," Qian Qian smiled and took off the medicine basket on his body, and brushed the top layer of fine grass to show the disciple: "I just went up the mountain to find Tian Qi, my mother taught me when I was a child, Tian Qi can't grow on the sunny slope, and it usually happens in slightly humid places." And ......"
Qian Qianchong showed an embarrassed smile at the long-faced disciple: "I'm not afraid of senior brother's jokes." I don't know pharmacology, I only know three herbs: notoginseng, mugwort, and cangium. Uncle Tang said that mugwort and Cang'er are worthless, even if they are picked, it is useless, so I usually don't go to the southern slope, I don't know those herbs, and it is in vain to go. β
"Do you know Uncle Tang?" The long-faced personal disciple was obviously a disciple of an elder, calling Tang Miruo "Senior Uncle". He stared at Qian Qian with burning eyes, with three points of suspicion in his eyes: "Senior sister is very likable, and it is rare for Uncle Tang to speak for these trivial matters." β
Qian Qian knew what he meant, Tang Miruo was usually taciturn, and his interactions with people were indifferent, it was hard to believe that such a person would actually guide an ordinary little disciple to collect medicine.
"I do know," Qian Qian nodded with a smile, and the suspicion of the long-faced disciple was exactly what she wanted: "I started collecting medicine in the mountains every year when I was six years old, and all the Tianqi I picked was handed over to Senior Uncle Tang, Senior Brother can go and ask Senior Sister Li." Well, yes, I remembered, I told Senior Sister Li when I went out today. β
"Senior Sister Li?" The long-faced disciple frowned slightly: "You mean Senior Sister Qiyi?" β
"Yes!" Qian Qian nodded honestly: "Because I returned empty-handed for twenty days in a row, Senior Sister Li laughed at me when I went out today, saying that I must still have found nothing." I was not convinced, and walked farther, so I went down the mountain at this hour, but fortunately I was lucky today, and sure enough, I dug up a field seven, and I hurried to take it back to Uncle Tang to see. β
"That's it," the long-faced disciple showed a gentle smile at Qian Qian: "You leave a name and go back first, so as not to let Uncle Tang wait." β
"Yes, senior brother." Qian Qian bowed his head respectfully and replied, "My name is Li Taohua, I started seven years ago, and now I live in the Geng District, an ordinary disciple of our sect. β
"Good." Seeing Qian Qian's obedient feelings, the long-faced disciple nodded with satisfaction: "You go first, there may be people asking you for questions these days, don't be afraid, just ask what you want." There are wild beasts on the mountain, and the leaders and elders are also afraid that you will not be safe, and want to eradicate the scourge as soon as possible. β
"Yes! I see. Qian Qian smiled at the long-faced disciple. The disciple waved his hand and let Qian Qian go down the mountain.
"Senior brother, just let her go?" The black-faced disciple waited for Qian Qian to walk away, and then turned his head and asked the long-faced disciple who was squinting and still observing Qian Qian's back.
"Of course!" The long-faced disciple nodded: "She is not the only disciple who went up the mountain today. Who the person who went to the south slope was, Master will have a final conclusion in the end. As for whether what this little disciple said is true or false, it is easy to verify, just go to Senior Sister Li and Uncle Tang and ask. β
"And," the long-faced disciple paused, and flashed a sinister smile at his junior disciple, "Sometimes, the truth really doesn't matter. In fact, the master didn't care much about those footprints and traces, otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to clean up all the thirteen disciples who went up the mountain today, but it was not necessary at the moment, otherwise these people wouldn't be able to go down the mountain. β
"It's too much to clean it up." The black-faced disciple frowned: "There are not only ordinary disciples inside, but also a few personal disciples with good family backgrounds!" The back mountain was originally a place of training, and it was normal for occasionally disciples to go up the mountain to practice for fear of being disturbed. β
"Exactly!" The long-faced disciple nodded: "With these people's skills, it is still too difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the master, and it is unlikely that they will see anything." Master is just in case. You should be careful in your words and deeds, don't be aggressive and suspicious when asking, just now this child has a relationship with Senior Sister Li, if our behavior is too abnormal, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Uncle Li and Uncle Tang. The other disciples who went up the mountain today are also careful, so as not to arouse their master's suspicions. β
