Chapter 15: The Pearl Incident (1)
Due to the tight time of the hairpin flower conference, it was not good to delay more on the road, so Chu Lei first tied himself up with the demon sword and sent it back to the Shaoyang faction. Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi were both injured and should not move much, so they stayed in Lutai Town, and returned to the Shaoyang faction to watch the hairpin flower conference after half a month.
As soon as Chu Lei left, the children suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. The head of the Shaoyang Sect has never been smiling, like a terrible stone, with him, the children dare not let go of laughing. Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi who were left behind, one was funny and the other was humorous, and they didn't have much of a fight, so the children were a lot bolder.
As soon as the matter of catching the demon is settled, it is the children's turn to act secretly - to save the merman who has been wronged.
When the hunters who had followed them up the mountain returned, they spread the news that the demons had been removed. The residents of the town naturally believe in it and don't believe it, how can it be easy for two or three people to get rid of the demon who spent so much manpower and material resources before? What's more, the glass jar holding the merman is still on display in front of the yamen, and it is said that one of the demons is hiding in the water, so it must be it.
The hunters suffered from the lack of evidence, argued for several days without success, and did not bother to say anything.
But said that Xuanji slept for two days, and after sleeping, Chu Yinghong was anxious, thinking that something had happened to her. But seeing that her face was red and white, and she asked someone to take her pulse and said that she was not sick, so why didn't she wake up?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xuanji finally woke up at noon on the third day. Chu Yinghong, who had been taking care of her beside her, was overjoyed, and asked her how she was doing.
The little girl blinked a little blankly, her brows suddenly furrowed, and she sighed, "Aunt Hong, I'm so hungry." ”
Chu Yinghong smiled: "Of course you will be hungry!" You've been sleeping for three days! She helped Xuanji sit up, and said, "What do you want to eat?" Tell Aunt Hong, I'll ask someone to do it for you. ”
"Anything goes, as long as it fills your stomach."
Xuanji got out of bed and put on her shoes, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What about Si Feng and the sixth senior brother?" By the way, Aunt Hong, have you caught those two demons? ”
Chu Yinghong curled her hair for her and said, "I have already caught it!" The two of them are eating down there, and just as you're done, go down and eat together. ”
At this time, Zhong Minyan and Yu Sifeng were indeed downstairs, but instead of eating, they were secretly discussing the plan to save the merman in the afternoon. Originally, Zhong Minyan was reluctant to get involved in this matter, but he was moved by Yu Sifeng's strange tirade.
Although they take cultivating immortals as their lifelong goal, they never forget to act chivalrous and righteous. Now the merman is a down-and-out weakling, and only a few of the people in the whole town know the truth about the demons, isn't it a good time to be a hero!
After all, they are still children, they can't be separated, and they want to do something big when they have the opportunity.
"Then, it's decided!" Yu Sifeng lowered his voice, and even buried his head, with a mysterious appearance of "We are discussing military affairs", "Later, I, go and lead them away, theirs, pay attention." Just go over and smash it, that jar! ”
Zhong Minyan nodded again and again, buried his head with him and said heroically, "If an official comes to stop it, you will set off smoke bombs." I left with the merman. …… By the way, don't forget to cover your face, in case you are recognized, it is a nuisance! ”
"You're right! Can't be recognized! Yu Sifeng lowered his head and touched the small leather bag on his waist for a long time, took out two pieces of black cloth, and handed him one, "One for you, one for me." Let's take action after eating! ”
"What are you doing?" The crisp question behind made the two teenagers stiffen for a moment.
Yu Sifeng turned around and smiled reluctantly: "No, it's nothing......" Suddenly I saw the person behind him who was petite and exquisite, with radiant skin, who was not Xuanji? He couldn't help but be surprised: "You, you're awake!" ”
Xuanji nodded and sat across from the two, "I woke up just now." What are you talking about? ”
Yu Sifeng didn't really want to take her with her, and the words she said last time were to coax her. After all, saving the merman requires agility, and this girl doesn't know anything, what she is best at is dragging her feet.
So he thought about it for a moment before hesitating and said, "Yes...... Not...... It's ......"
Xuanji clapped her hands and said with a smile: "You mean to save the merman, right?" When? Shall I be okay too? ”
She thought it was funny, and she didn't want to be lazy.
Yu Sifeng looked at Zhong Minyan with a bitter face, who knew that his face was different, he seemed to be a little nervous, and even with some fear, he stared at Xuanji directly. He wondered, "You, what are you looking at?" ”
Zhong Minyan was slightly startled, wiped his face, and said lightly: "It's nothing...... One more person and one more strength, it's good to take her with you. ”
Brother Zhong, this is not your usual style! Yu Sifeng looked at him in surprise, but he nodded affirmatively: "Take it, take it." Otherwise, leave her alone, and tell Uncle Shi to know about it, which will be even more troublesome. ”
Yu Sifeng had no choice but to acquiesce.
Xuanji smiled and wanted to pat Zhong Minyan on the shoulder, while saying, "It's rare that you agreed so easily......"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw him shrink back in great fear, as if she had reached out not with a hand, but with the claws of some monster.
Xuanji was stunned, and Yu Sifeng was also stunned. However, it was Zhong Minyan who reacted the most, he coughed, a little embarrassed: "I...... Uh, probably because I was too nervous to catch the monster that day, and I haven't recovered yet...... Let's eat! When you're done eating, you act. ”
Does she have anything on her hands? Xuanji couldn't help but look down at her hands, the same as before, small, soft, no difference. What's wrong with Zhong Minyan?
At this time, Chu Yinghong ordered the dishes, sat down and said with a smile: "You children, it seems that you are discussing some confidential matter. The head of the house is gone, and everyone is happy like a monkey. ”
"Huh? Daddy is gone? "No wonder I didn't see him. Xuanji suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Chu Yinghong nodded: "The hairpin flower conference is more important, as the head of a faction, he is quite busy." By the way, in the afternoon, I am going to go to the previous cave with the owner of the Eastern Island, the Gu carving disappeared inexplicably, and the reason must be investigated. You just stay in the inn, don't run around, don't get into trouble, you know? ”
God help me! The three children had secrets in their hearts, but they all resisted it and nodded obediently in agreement. Now there are no adults in the family at all, and Lutai Town is not their world?
Sure enough, after the meal, Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi went out early.
The three children redeploy the rescue plan in the house and give it a name: Pearl Incident. Because the tears that come out of the merman's crying will turn into pearls.
"The plan changed a little. Xuanji and I hid not far from the glass jar, Si Feng, you pretended to be an ordinary passerby, and when everyone was not paying attention, you used your finger skills to smash the glass jar. At this time, everyone will definitely panic, Si Feng, you see the right time, release the smoke bomb, and Xuanji and I will take advantage of the chaos to go out and rescue the merman. Turning back, we met in front of the lake at the foot of Lutai Mountain. ”
Zhong Minyan planned seriously, drawing sketches on paper as he spoke. In the end, the three of them memorized what they should do, and Yu Sifeng gave Xuanji a piece of black cloth to cover her face.
He tried it himself first, covered it with a black cloth, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw Xuanji staring at him, his face turned red, and he stammered: "You, what do you see, what do you see!" ”
Xuanji tilted her head and looked at him for a long time, "Ah, when did you take off your mask?" Didn't you say you couldn't pick it up? ”
Yu Sifeng's face darkened, "The mask is broken." Broken by demons. He saw that Xuanji's big eyes were still nailed to his face, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed and shy, "You, how do you look at people like this!" Central Plains, girls, really! ”
Besides, he didn't have a mask to wear for a long time! She should have seen it downstairs just now, but she didn't react at all, causing him to be worried for a long time, thinking that she was ugly, who thought that she didn't pay attention at all! God knows what this dead girl's eyes look at on a normal day!
Xuanji stared at him for a long time, and when he was about to become angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Si Feng, it turns out that you are so good-looking." I like you like this, don't wear a mask in the future! What a pity to cover up? ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Yu Sifeng's face was green and red for a while, and he really couldn't hold back a word now.
In the middle of the night, he spat out a string of strange words with strange tones, presumably in the dialect of his hometown. After saying that, he got up and left, walked to the door, and waved his hand with his back to them: "Hurry, let's go!" ”
Xuanji followed slowly, and suddenly heard Zhong Minyan calling her behind her.
"Xuanji, you ......" he whispered, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his words, gloomy and gloomy.
What the? She looked at him curiously.
"No, nothing." Zhong Minyan patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go." Don't hold us back this time. ”
