After the rain, it was refreshing, the clouds moved with the wind, and the two were riding horses to Jiangzhen.

Chu Jiu kept stiffening, clutching the mane at the back of the horse's neck, trying to keep a little distance from the twilight snow behind him. But the longer she sat like this, the more her waist hurt from the jolting.

"Sit up straight." Twilight grabbed Hatsujiu's shoulders and straightened her back.

Chu Jiu swallowed his saliva and prayed in his heart that he could get to the town soon.

"You're going to Liangcheng?" Twilight thought that Nine was going to go there by car at first.

"Hmm." Chu Jiu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Why are you going there?"

"I went with Sister Xiaojia, and I didn't know where I was going, so I followed her."

"Haven't you only known each other for a dozen days?" Chao Duxue thinks that Chu Jiu and Song Jialin have only known each other for so short a time, and they trust her so much, and they are not defensive against people at all.

"No matter what she says, she can be regarded as my life-saving benefactor, the last time I was beaten to death in the mud gangzhai, it was Sister Xiaojia who killed the thief and saved me." Chu Jiu recalled that Sister Xiaojia took care of herself before, although she was not very close to anyone, but her heart was not bad, and it could be seen from her saving herself that she was not a big traitor.

Chao Duxue heard Chu Jiu mention what happened to Nigangzhai last time, it turned out that this Song Jialin had also saved her, and then he had a little appreciation for Song Jialin.

"I suddenly found that I was very useless, especially after going down the mountain a few times in distress, let alone saving people, I didn't even have the ability to save myself. I think after saving Sister Xiaojia this time, I will go back to Luoshan Town......"

Chao Duxue interrupted Chu Jiu and said a little seriously: "Zhao Chu Jiu, since you realize that you are useless, why don't you think of a way to become stronger, so that you are not afraid of being bullied." And now you just want to run away, avoid it, and not face it. Do you think you won't encounter the same thing in the future? The only thing you can do at that time is to keep blaming yourself like you are today, and once again you can't do anything. ”

"I know that, but what can I do?" Chu Jiu's eyes were red, crying, and he wiped the tears that he couldn't stop with the back of his hand over and over again.

Since she was a child, she knew that only when she became stronger could she make the people who hurt her afraid, and she would be fearless. He was a little annoyed when he heard Chu Jiu's crying, and felt that his tone was a little heavy, so he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Chu Jiu, "You wipe it first." ”

Chu Jiu suddenly held the left hand of Chao Duxue who handed the handkerchief, and her crying still could not be calmed down, she gasped and pleaded, "Chao Duxue! Teach me martial arts! I'll definitely study hard! ”

Twilight Xue looked down at Chu Jiu, who turned her head back to look directly at him, her watery eyes were red, he broke away from her hand with pity, pressed the bridle, and then wiped the tears from her face for her, at this time his eyes revealed a tenderness that had never appeared before.

Chu Jiu was immersed in the tenderness of Twilight Snow, and her heart was full of hope, and she was looking forward to Twilight Snow being able to agree to her request.

"Nope."

Twilight Snow categorically rejected Chu Jiu, directly extinguishing her hopes.

Chu Jiu asked, "Why not?" ”

Twilight looked ahead, "Your qualifications are too poor. ”

Chu Jiu didn't expect him to dislike her, and she was suddenly a little lost.

"I can let Yin Duanhong accept you as an apprentice, her martial arts are also among the best in this world." Chao Duxue really dislikes the qualifications of the first nine, and he plans to follow the example of the master and only accept one apprentice to teach martial arts, so he does not plan to accept the first nine as an apprentice.

"Yin Xuanhong?"

"It's the woman in red just now."

In fact, he regretted her failure a little, from her lack of involvement, simplicity and lack of skills, it can be seen that his wife is too doting on her, no, he wants Yin Duanhong to teach Chu Jiu well.

"I saw Jiang Zhen." Chu Jiu excitedly pointed to the city gate in the distance, as if it was not her who had just wrinkled her face sadly because of disgust.

Twilight shook her head, looked at Chu Jiu dotingly, and then pulled the reins.

When we arrived in Jiangzhen, it was close to dusk, and the people on the streets were gradually deserted.

"There is only one such Jiang Town within a radius of 100 miles, and the gang of Kuaidaomen will definitely go to the inn in the town to stay." Twilight said as she led her horse.

Chu Jiu remembered, "Those people might recognize me." ”

Twilight stopped and saw a clothing store in front of her, "Let's go buy some clothes." ”

A guy at the door of the clothing store was about to close the door, "Girl, we are closed, you can come back tomorrow." ”

"Closed?" Chu Jiu stood in the doorway, turning his head to look at the morning twilight snow who was tying the horses to the roadside pillars.

Chao Duxue walked over, threw a bag of silver taels directly into the buddy's arms, and swaggered into the store with Chu Jiu, "Give her a few men's robes that are suitable for this girl." ”

The man touched the silver taels in the bag and called the shopkeeper courteously, "Shopkeeper, they want to buy some clothes." ”

The shopkeeper took the silver tael and said very respectfully, "I don't know which guest officer needs it?" ”

Chu Jiu walked out, "It's me." ”

"Pick a men's shirt for her."

"Men's shirt?" The guy glanced at Chu Jiu suspiciously.

The shopkeeper slapped him on the head, "Idiot, why don't you hurry up and find clothes that fit this girl." ”

The guy touched his head, took out two men's shirts from the cabinet that were about the same size as Chu Jiu, and then led Chu Jiu to the back room, "Girl, you can go to the interview and try it." ”

Chu Jiu took the clothes from the guy's hands and went to the inner room to change them.

While waiting, the morning twilight snow swept the women's clothes in the clothing shop, and finally landed on a goose-yellow moire brocade skirt.

The shopkeeper followed the direction where Twilight was looking, "This boy, this brocade dress is quite suitable for a talented girl, do you want to bring it to you?" ”

"The fabric of this dress is from the world's first cloth workshop, and it has been difficult for our store to get it recently, guest officer, you can touch it, it is very soft and smooth."

Chao Duxue touched his clothes and nodded, it was indeed good, he thought that Chu Jiu was still wearing the old clothes he wore when he went down the mountain before, "I want this one too." ”

"Okay, Childe! This dress is about the same size as the girl, she should be able to wear it, or let her try it, if it doesn't fit, I can help change it here. ”

"You just wrap it up."

Chu Jiu changed into a navy blue shirt and walked out, she felt that she didn't look like a man when she changed into men's clothes, "I think it's better not to wear men's clothes, Chao Duxue, do you think I look like a man now?" ”

Seeing that she was still a girl, the loose men's shirt on her body did not disguise her well, but made her look particularly clumsy, he smiled secretly, "You better change back into women's clothes." Then he motioned to the shopkeeper to take out the goose-yellow dress just now and give it to her, "Change it." ”

Chu Jiu was amazed at the texture of the clothes, but she didn't dare to change them, she pulled the guy and asked, "How many silver taels is this dress?" ”

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, ten taels."

"Ten taels!" Chu Jiu screamed, and she immediately stuffed her clothes back to the guy, "I don't want it, it's too expensive." "Ten taels of a dress is simply a robbery of money, Chu Jiu said in his heart, but his eyes were still looking at this dress.

Twilight saw that she liked the dress, and asked which girl didn't like beautiful clothes. He coaxed Chu Jiu, "Either I'll lend you another ten taels, anyway, you owe me ten taels, and I just owe ten more taels, and I won't take any more from you." ”

Chu Jiu was a little struggling in her heart, if she continued to owe money like this, she would never want to pay it off in her life. No wonder her mother told her since she was a child, there are too many temptations in the outside world, and if you can't resist it, you will fall deeper and deeper. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and said firmly, "I don't want it!" Then he ran back to the back and changed into his clothes.

"That son, do you want this dress?" The shopkeeper was a little nervous, but it took him a lot of effort to get this fabric to make clothes, and if he couldn't sell it, he would lose money.

Seeing the expression of forcibly twisting her head, Chao Duxue was in a happy mood, "Yes, wrap it up and give it to me." ”

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you." The shopkeeper was overjoyed, his hands and feet were also numb, and he wrapped this new dress with his own hands.
