In the dark alley, Twilight understood when she heard this, and then flew out of the dark alley, and climbed up to a remote corner of the courtyard with Wu Yuan, where you could see the firewood house in the backyard at a glance.

At this time, it looked the same as usual, but the next moment, a hidden weapon came out of the firewood room and attacked the two of them.

Twilight quickly took her away, but unexpectedly, the hidden weapon also moved, and when he was hit, his body did not feel pain, he looked down and saw that even his clothes were not torn...... Looking down further, a small blue pom-pom ball that was somewhat familiar fell on the wall.

At that time, a small column-shaped bamboo basket hanging behind Twilight's waist suddenly had a commotion, and before he could move, the lid of the bucket was opened, and a small fluffy thing swooped out.

When Wu Yuan looked over, it was actually a golden chipmouse, and it rushed straight towards the blue pompom on the wall, and pounced on it with lightning speed.

The pom-pom reacted quickly, and instantly spread its wings and flew away, leaving only the golden chipmunk with its pitiful half-truncated tail, and its eyes squeaked and squeaked at the little thing that was squeaking in the air.

"Little Sparrow!"

"Sparrow?"

After seeing the blue in the sky, Woo Yuan and Twilight called at it almost in unison, and then the two looked at each other and said in unison again, "Do you know it?" ”

Wan Yuan was the first to nod, thought for a while and said, "He is my friend and has been with me for many years. ”

Twilight looked at the little finch and then at the golden chipmotrel, and didn't say much, only nodded in understanding.

"And how did Brother Twilight know him? He had only been away from home for a short time. Wu Yuan asked.

"A while ago, it seemed to get lost and fell to the place where I was staying with my friend, and then my friend or fate with it took care of it for a few days, and I have only seen it." Twilight said.

"If that's the case, then thank you Brother Twilight." Wan Yuan said.

"You're welcome, but it's a gesture."

"It's just that your brother doesn't seem to be here at the moment, and the group of people just now don't know what the purpose is, it's not safe here, we have to leave this place first." Twilight said as she looked at a moving red light in the distance.

"But...... Now I don't know that my brother is in danger, so he left, I ......"

Wu Yuan held the wall tightly with both hands and said to Twilight, and before the words fell, the little finch flew towards the two, and Twilight quickly grabbed the golden chipmunk with its teeth and claws, and decisively withdrew it into the bamboo basket.

Xiao Que stopped safely on Wu Yuan's open hand, Wu Yuan first touched his head, and then asked, "I forgot to ask, how long have you been here?" But have you seen Ah Jiu? ”

The little finch tilted her head and thought about it, Ah Jiu? It was ugly, but he nodded to her.

Before she could say more, an extra scroll of paper appeared on the bird's beak, and Wan Yuan looked at him suspiciously, so the little finch lowered her head and put the scroll in her palm, and then jumped to the wall and waited.

Wan Yuan unfolded the scroll of paper with doubts, but saw that it was written: There is no need to worry about physical safety, and there is a fate to meet.

It's the handwriting of the Nine-Tails, but what does it mean? He didn't wait for her, so he left first.

"Where is your brother now?" Twilight asked when she saw that she was fascinated by the note.

"Oh, he, he's gone first, and he didn't say where." Wu Yuan replied with a slight loss.

"In that case, let's get out of here first, and then we'll discuss."

No sooner had they left than a group of people with lanterns rushed towards the backyard.

A moment later.

"Elder Yan, all of them have been searched, and only the firewood room in the courtyard seems to have been searched."

"Firewood room?"

"Yes, according to the traces left, there are not many people on the other side, but they are experts, and if we don't memorize the layout, it will be difficult to detect."

"This courtyard has always been peaceful and fearful, and now these people do not hesitate to risk offending the heavenly family, and they have gone to such great lengths to infiltrate and search a firewood room, what do they want to do?" Yan Lao said with a solemn face, stroking his beard thoughtfully.

The people looked at each other, but they didn't understand each other.

Then, he said to one of them: "Go, send someone to send a letter to General Gu and your master, tell him about tonight, remind them to pay more attention to the people around them, and then prepare the old man's outfit, and leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow." ”

In the remote farmhouse courtyard, Duxia entered the door with Wuyuan, and an old woman dressed in simple clothes hurriedly stepped forward, "You can be regarded as back, just now the officers and soldiers came to search, and the old woman is still worried that if you don't come back so late, is there something wrong." ”

"Let Grandma worry, I'll just go out to find a friend." Twilight said.

The old woman nodded, and looked behind him again, "Hey, this young man is the person Twilight is looking for?" It's really handsome, and it's a little finch that looks very cute. ”

Seeing Wu Yuan and the little finch on her shoulder, the old woman loved it and couldn't help but praise it.

Wan Yuan hesitantly glanced up at Du Xia, and saw that he nodded to himself, so he took two steps forward and said to the old woman: "Junior Bai Ruo, I'm afraid to disturb Grandma tonight, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Oh, the old woman is just a village woman in the mountains, the little boy doesn't need to be so polite, if the little boy in the village house doesn't dislike it, it's okay to live permanently, more than one person accompanies my wife, it's too late to be happy, where is the bother, don't be polite, don't be polite."

"Let's go into the house and drink some water, you guys came back so late, you should be hungry, I'll go prepare something, wait."

"Hey, Grandma, don't ......"

Wan Yuan just wanted to say, "Don't be busy. But he was dragged by Twilight, and when he looked over, he shook his head at himself, and he didn't understand.

But Twilight Xia could see that the old woman Xu really liked her, and she was more happy than usual, so in the face of Wu Yuan, he lowered his voice and said, "You let Grandma do it." ”

Hearing this, Wan Yuan looked at the busy figure of the old woman and said, "Brother Twilight and Grandma are very familiar with each other? ”

She remembered that Twilight had said that she had come here with a friend, but now that she didn't see his friend, she was so familiar with an old woman in this remote farmhouse.

Twilight understood what she was asking, so she didn't hide it and said: "My friend is seriously ill, and now he has returned to his hometown, so I came here to find a doctor for him. ”

While speaking, the old woman has already picked up the bowl and began to scoop noodles, and said with a little soft color in the twilight summer: "My parents have not been here since I was a child, and my grandmother has lived alone here for decades. ”

Nodding thoughtfully, the former Immortal Valley had never felt anything special to her, and although she was accompanied by a stinky old Taoist at that time, it still made her feel bored.

After that, the old road left, Bai Ran came, and then later, the little finch, durian, nine-tailed, and snow ears also came one after another, and when there were more people, the fairy valley that was originally lingering but unusually cold became lively and vibrant, although there were chickens and dogs jumping on weekdays, and it was noisy.

It seems that it is precisely because of that that she gradually has to treat the Immortal Valley, which she didn't love originally, as a family, so today, the "family" is scattered everywhere, her whereabouts are unknown, and she has no way of knowing whether she is okay or not, which makes her think deeply.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously raised her hand and touched the little finch on her shoulder.

When the old woman came with a dinner plate, she saw that Wuyuan's eyes were empty, and there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks, sat on the side of Wuyuan, and her calloused hand gently covered the back of Wuyuan's other white and tender hand, and a warm stream of heat spread along Wuyuan's arm to the limbs.

Wan Yuan looked at the old woman with some surprise, but the old woman just smiled faintly, and her eyes had a soft light like moonlight, which made people fall into it at just one glance.

Wan Yuan looked at her secretly, just glanced at the outside of the house in a hurry, didn't have time to take a closer look, it turned out that the old woman had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, her complexion was well-proportioned and fair, and it was clearly visible between her eyebrows and eyes, the delicate face of her youth, a slightly faded but very clean coarse cloth shirt, which covered her figure, but she couldn't resist the different elegance she revealed at this time.

"A young man of this age, he shouldn't show that worried look, no matter what happens, you have to relax, life is only a hundred years, there is nothing that can't be passed, not to mention that you are still so young." The old woman patted her hand and said with a smile.

Wan Yuan nodded, and said half-coquettishly: "Well, Bai Ruo understands, Grandma, don't call the little boy anymore, call me Bai Ruo with Brother Duxia." ”

"Okay, Bai Ruo, the noodles are going to be mushy, eat them quickly." After speaking, he pushed the bowl towards the source again.

After eating, Wu Yuan snatched the finished work, took the little finch, and ran away with a smoke, the old woman looked at her figure, full of smiles, and then said to Twilight: "This burrow is smaller, is it feasible for you two to live together?" ”

"Grandma is polite again, the two of us live together, it's indispensable, it's getting late, grandma should rest early." Twilight said.

"Well, I'll help Ah Ruo prepare a clean mattress first, and you two can sleep more comfortably." After that, he went to get busy.

When Wuyuan finished cleaning up, the little bird was so sleepy that he couldn't stand up straight, and when Wanyuan entered the house to place him first, and then turned around, he noticed that there was only one earthen kang in the house, and the two quilts were side by side.

Her scalp was numb for a while, and she looked at Twilight with trepidation, and then at the bed, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Twilight was keenly aware of her nervousness, but because she had been a little tired physically and mentally in recent days, she was really in no mood to explain the cause and effect at this time, so she didn't say much, first turned her back to the source of the bone control technique, and then pulled out the hairpin on her head when she turned around, and a green silk hung down.

Turning around, a delicate face appeared in front of Wan Yuan's eyes, her eyes widened, and after a moment's relief, she understood, it turned out that this was the same thing as herself, and it was understandable that it was indeed inconvenient to go out in women's clothes, but people's disguises seemed to be more fake than their own.

"Don't think about it, but I'm older than you, I've learned a few more years, and I wear more men's clothes, so it's naturally like, rest early, and I'll continue to find people tomorrow."

"Huh? Oh oh oh, okay. After saying that, Wu Yuan was going to take off his coat.

It wasn't until the moment her hand was raised that she reacted, she was now dressed in men's clothes, she was stunned for a moment, her hands touched her indiscriminately, she looked at her whole body again, and said, "En? That's not right, Twilight, sister...... When did you see through me as a daughter? ”

Twilight was like this in front of her, obviously she had already seen through her gender, could her casual clothes really be such a failure.

Seeing that Wan Yuan was a little discouraged, Twilight Xia couldn't help but smile and said: "I've been showing people in men's clothes since I was a child, of course I can see it at a glance, but ordinary people will not find out so quickly, if you are worried, I will teach you some tomorrow." ”

"Mm-hmm, that's the best, thank you, Sister Twilight." Wan Yuan said as he quickly took off his coat and quickly burrowed into the quilt.

After she lay down, Twilight said softly: "You still don't have to call me sister on weekdays, so as not to cause more trouble, I can't be a few years older than you, you can call me Twilight"

"Well, okay, I see, let's go to bed early in the evening."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them felt a deep tiredness attack, and soon fell asleep.

Outside the house, a slightly vicissitudes but white hand, after hearing the sound of shallow but regular breathing from inside the room, slowly withdrew from the closed door, and a wisp of blue and purple light was collected into the palm at the same time.

Looking at the dark night, the old woman smiled slowly, "Tomorrow will be a good day." ”
