Chapter 97: The Crane Song (6)
When Yun Ximian went out, he found that he didn't know when it was drizzling outside, and he was too lazy to play an umbrella, so Yun Ximian took out the hat and put it on.
She hadn't been to Houshan, and she couldn't find a way out of her road idiot attribute, so Chu Ziqing understood her, and left her sword qi along the way, and following the sword qi, Yun Ximian soon found Chu Ziqing dressed in black.
Although she didn't know why Chu Ziqing liked to wear black clothes, he really looked good in it.
"Uncle Shi." Chu Ziqing heard the footsteps and looked over.
Yun Ximian took off the hat on her head, and not much jade beads fell from above, landing on her face and eyelashes, and she blinked subconsciously.
Chu Ziqing wanted to reach out and wipe it off, but his hands were full of dirt, so he had to give up this idea, looked at Yun Ximian and said, "Uncle Shi looks good in this dress." ”
Yun Ximian bent his eyebrows and smiled: "Ziqing is really good at talking." ”
"I'm telling the truth." Chu Ziqing didn't say much about this, turned to the topic, and said, "Uncle Shi may not be able to contact Nanchuan tonight." ”
"Why? Is something wrong with the crane? Yun Ximian thought.
Chu Ziqing nodded, raised his feet, Yun Ximian found that he was stepping on something under his feet, the thing was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and his whole body was in a mess, Yun Ximian also looked at it for a long time before he recognized that it was Shen Duchuan, he was completely paralyzed to the ground, grabbing his hair with both hands and wailing, crying with snot and tears on his face.
He ...... What's wrong with him? Yun Ximian looked at Chu Ziqing in astonishment, could it be that Shen Duchuan provoked Chu Ziqing for a while, and was beaten like this by him!
Chu Ziqing knew what Yun Ximian was thinking by looking at his expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and explained: "I didn't call him, it was already like this when I went to pick him up." ”
"What the hell is going on, did Nanchuan poison him? The kind that will kill you if you don't obey. Yun Ximian said that he was about to take the pulse, but Chu Ziqing grabbed his wrist in time.
Yun Ximian looked at him puzzled, only to see Chu Ziqing shake his head and say, "Don't go over, be careful that he hurts you." ”
Chu Ziqing was close to her, and when she heard this, Yun Ximian looked up at him, and when she looked at it, she could see a few conspicuous red marks on Chu Ziqing's white neck, although there was no blood, it still looked extremely terrifying.
Yun Ximian didn't even notice the discomfort herself, frowned, stretched out her hand to gently touch the scars, and said distressedly: "How did you do this, he did it?"
Yun Ximian's hand caressed his fragile neck, Chu Ziqing inevitably trembled slightly, if it were someone else, he might have let his head fall to the ground when someone else's hand stretched out, but for Uncle Shi, he really had nothing to do.
"It's fine, a little hurt." Chu Ziqing endured the discomfort caused by the stroking of his neck, and Yun Ximian's hands were soft, like cotton, as if every touch was teasing him.
Yun Ximian withdrew his hand, didn't notice Chu Ziqing's slightly flushed face, and said with a disapproving face: "Is this still a little injured?" It's so swollen, I'll give you medicine when I go back. "Sure enough, it's just a little kid, he doesn't pay attention to his body, and I want to talk about him when I go back.
Chu Ziqing originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard Yun Ximian's words behind him to help him with medicine, he immediately swallowed this sentence and nodded obediently and sensibly.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin......" Shen Duchuan lowered his head and muttered to himself, as if he had lost his soul, and kept repeating a sentence.
"Xiao Lin, could it be Meng Zilin?" Yun Ximian listened to it for a long time, and finally figured out who the "Xiao Lin" in his mouth was.
Chu Ziqing glanced at Shen Duchuan, who was in a trance, and said, "When I went to pick him up, Meng Zilin was already dead. ”
"Dead ...... Dead!?" Yun Ximian was surprised.
"It seems that I heard that Meng Zilin's father wanted to marry her to an official in his fifties, but Meng Zilin refused to agree, and was beaten to death by her father." A trace of sympathy flashed in Chu Ziqing's eyes.
"Huh?" Yun Ximian was also emotional, and looked at Shen Duchuan's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
She thought that Shen Duchuan and Meng Zilin were father and daughter, but that look was clearly the eyes of her lover!
"He killed Meng Zilin and her father, but fortunately I went early and subdued him so that the innocent were not harmed." Chu Ziqing said, in fact, Meng Zilin's father was not dead when he went, but he didn't want to save him at all, and he didn't bring Shen Duchuan back until Shen Duchuan killed someone.
"He can't contact Nanchuan at all now...... What about Meng Zilin, her corpse. Yun Ximian thought of that little girl, and couldn't bear it, such a small child! How good she suffered like this, she had to bury it no matter what she said.
Chu Ziqing was suddenly silent, Yun Ximian glanced at him strangely, why did he suddenly stop talking?
"Meng Zilin's corpse was eaten by him." Chu Ziqing said in a complicated tone.
"What...... What the?! When Yun Ximian heard this, she thought that she was hallucinating, she heard it right!
"The Wind Crane clan has the custom of eating their deceased lover, saying that it is to be with their lover forever." Chu Ziqing explained.
"......" Yun Ximian looked at Shen Duchuan and sighed softly.
In order to prevent Shen Duchuan from going crazy and going down the mountain to kill people, Chu Ziqing set up an enchantment on the mountain, and he couldn't go down if others couldn't get up, but what Chu Ziqing didn't expect was that when they went the next morning, he had already committed suicide.
"Bury it." Yun Ximian said.
After burying Shen Duchuan, Chu Ziqing cut down a wooden board and carved his name on the board, as well as Meng Zilin's name.
Yun Ximian gave medicine to the wound on Chu Ziqing's neck again, but the wound was not deep, and it had already healed after applying the medicine.
After the two of them had packed up everything, they hurried to the dock to meet Qiushuiheng, for it was still morning, and it was not dawn, and the street was very quiet, as if it were thunder to catch your breath.
"Brother Ruohong, Brother Chu." Qiu Shuiheng arrived here earlier than the two of them, and when he saw the backs of the two of them, he hurriedly said.
"Mizuyoko, why did you come so early?" Yun Ximian was still embarrassed, she originally wanted to lie in bed, but she was woken up by Chu Ziqing.
Anyone who is still sleeping in a daze will feel that he will be scared to wake up with someone on his body!
Although Chu Ziqing explained that he had called her for so long and she didn't react to this kind of move, Yun Ximian still looked at him with a look at the disciple.
Chu Ziqing: "......"
Huh.
"Not early, not early, Brother Ruohong is." Qiushui smiled shyly.
"Let's not say hello, let's go to the sea first, otherwise someone will come in a while, and it won't be clear." Yun Ximian said as he took out the water bracelet in his sleeve.
Chu Ziqing also wore a waterproof bracelet, and the autumn water was ...... All he had to do was wear that dress.
The raft was still parked on the lake, Yun Ximian beckoned the two of them to come up, looking for starters everywhere on the raft, but she really didn't have much research on this thing, and she couldn't find it for a long time.
"Uncle Shi, what are you looking for?"
"Brother Ruohong, what are you looking for?"
The two asked at the same time, glancing at each other.
Yun Ximian didn't notice the actions of the two, and replied without raising his head: "I'm looking for a mechanism, it should be around here...... Ah, found it! Yun Ximian screamed, pressed the button on the outside of the raft, and the raft vibrated and slowly swam forward.
It was too tired to stand idly, so Yun Ximian simply sat in that position and said, "Shui Heng, have you considered joining a sect?" ”
Qiu Shui was very puzzled when he heard what Yun Ximian said, looked down at the top of Yun Ximian's head, and said, "Not yet." ”
"And what do you think of me?" Yun Ximian asked again.
“!!!” Chu Ziqing, who instantly felt dangerous, what did Uncle Shi mean by this?
Qiu Shuiheng replied without thinking: "Brother Ruohong is very good." ”
Yun Ximian smiled: "Shui Heng, you said so yourself, do you want to worship me as a teacher?"
"This, this is too sudden......" Qiu Shuiheng had never thought about this question before, Yun Ximian suddenly asked, and it took him a long time to react.
"It's nothing sudden, I just appreciate your ability, besides, I don't have a close disciple yet, rather than finding someone I don't know, I still like you more." Yun Ximian is telling the truth, if she is asked to choose someone she doesn't know as an apprentice, she will naturally not do it, and Qiu Shuiheng knows everything well, has no ambition, is gentle and elegant, and is a very good person, both in terms of personality and talent, which makes her very satisfied.
Uncle Shi likes him! Chu Ziqing's heart was instantly unbalanced.
Qiu Shuiheng was flattered and replied: "Thank you Brother Ruohong for your love, it's just that this matter is very important, can you let me think about it again." ”
"Okay, take this, if you want to figure it out, come to our sect to find me." Yun Ximian said, taking out a bronze diamond-shaped token from the ruins, there is a circle in the center of the token, but there are no patterns and words in it, and there is a small cloud character directly above this circle.
This is a closed disciple token, each head can only accept one closed disciple, this token is prepared for closed disciples, before accepting disciples, the prototype in the center is empty, only after the apprenticeship ceremony, the name of the disciple engraved on the token is really a master-apprentice relationship, and Yun Ximian gave this token to Qiu Shuiheng, that is to say, she has recognized Qiu Shuiheng as a disciple candidate.
Qiu Shuiheng agreed and took the token.
Chu Ziqing stared at Qiu Shui Heng, he always felt that there was something strange about this Qiu Shui Heng, but he couldn't say why, tsk, sure enough, Uncle Shi liked him more because he didn't like it!
The three of them had different thoughts, "crunch", the raft stopped, Yun Ximian stopped in a daze, and stood up from the raft, but because he had sat for too long, his legs suddenly became numb, and he fell into the water because he was unstable, and the water-avoiding bracelet was automatically opened after choking on a few mouthfuls of water.
Chu Ziqing glanced at Qiu Shuiheng, and also followed Yun Ximian into the sea.
