Qu Yilan suddenly felt a little guilty, "I should persuade Senior Brother Seventh to ......"

Sakura sat next to her and couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that there will be bad guys ambushing at the inn?" ”

"My adoptive parents set up a straw hut next to the post station to make money from passers-by. The day before you met, a group of men in black broke in and killed everyone over there. If I hadn't been lucky, I'd be lying in the shed right now. ”

Looking at the young man's indifferent face, Qu Yilan said for a while, "This, like this, I'm sorry." Those people probably, probably came to me. I should have provoked ......."

"It's fine."

This person was so calm that Sakura asked directly, "Aren't you sad?" ”

"They are my adoptive parents, who raised me to work."

Qu Yilan suddenly understood, obviously everyone was fleeing, although she and Sakura were embarrassed, at least they were covered with silk and satin, but the young man's body was full of rags, and many of the wounds were old wounds. It's not hard to guess that his adoptive parents must not be good people either......

"My name is Qu Yilan, and she is...... Qu Ziying, what do you call you? Qu Yilan changed the name of Sakura as she spoke.

"Xiao Yanhua."

"Oh......" Although Qu Yilan's head was hot and swollen, she was still very awake, and she said worriedly, "I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Seven." ”

Sakura timidly asked, "Are we going back?" ”

Xiao Yanhua said in an almost undulating voice: "No matter what happens to him, you can't help if you go back like this, maybe it's to die, it's better to take care of yourself." When the rain stops, go home. ”

Go home? Whether to go back to Qingmen or to Yuliu Mountain. Qu Yilan thought of the things that Hua Yueying put in her food, and still gritted her teeth, "We're going to Yuliu Mountain." ”

Xiao Yanhua looked down at the little girl who was shrunk into a ball in her arms, as if she was holding a child, "Then you just ran away, do you know the way to go?" ”

"I ...... Along the official road, you can always get there, only half of the way is left. Qu Yilan said, her tone was full of emptiness. It was her first time going far away, and she had no experience at all, if Xiao Yanhua left now, then she wouldn't be able to tell the difference between southeast and northwest here.

Xiao Yanhua looked up at the rain curtain again, and asked in a leisurely voice, "You have a home, why don't you go back." ”

"Yes and no, it's the same, my mother is gone, and my father has married a new person." Qu Yilan rubbed again in his arms and moved to a warmer position.

She can't remember the number of male and female etiquette that Hua Yueying had recited before, anyway, seven years old is only the age of a child, and she doesn't really have any etiquette. What's more, Xiao Yanhua always gives her a feeling of adulthood, which is probably called a sense of security.

Xiao Yanhua's voice was cool through the rain curtain, "Is the bride treating you badly?" ”

"She treats me well in front of others, but not when she's on her own." She was a little sleepy as she said this, and closed her eyes and wanted to sleep.

"Qu Zi Sakura."

"Huh?" Sakura watched for a long time, and finally realized that Xiao Yanhua was calling her.

"You hold her."

"Oh......" Sakura picked Qu Yilan in her arms like Xiao Yanhua did, and then Xiao Yanhua got up again, and walked into the rain again before his clothes were dry. She looked at the rain curtain and exclaimed, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'll be back in a moment."

After Xiao Yanhua left, Qu Yilan woke up and slept several times, not seeming to be very awake.

The rain fluctuated, and the cherry blossoms were in a hurry after a long time. She looked at the dripping rain curtain and muttered in her heart that Xiao Yanhua should have run away and not come back, right? Looking down again, Qu Yilan's face was flushed, and she was sleeping very unsteadily, she must have felt uncomfortable.

What to do? She sat alone anxiously for a while, and after a long time, she saw Xiao Yanhua appear at the entrance of the cave wetly, and Sakura was surprised and excited.

Xiao Yanhua squatted down and spread a ball of clothes in his arms on the ground, wrapped in green leaves and red fruits, Sakura asked in surprise, "Are you looking for food?" ”

"Yes, wake her up." He said as he set aside the very clean fruit washed by the rain, and then picked up a few blades of grass.

"Oh." Sakura, like Qu Yilan, inexplicably has a trace of trust and obedience to people like Xiao Yanhua.

As soon as Qu Yilan opened her eyes, what she saw was Xiao Yanhua's face. She watched clearly as the drops of water slid from his forehead across the bridge of his nose, swirled around the tip of his nose, and then landed on her cheeks, making her face even hotter.

Xiao Yanhua reached out and touched her cheek and muttered in a low voice, "I really have a fever." ”

Originally...... She had a fever.

"Chew this." He put a few blades of grass to her mouth and pushed them inside.

Qu Yilan opened her mouth, and she was about to cry after just chewing it, it was so disgusting...... "You, you still know how to practice medicine?" ”

Xiao Yanhua saw that her little face was wrinkled, so she laughed, "I have lived in the mountains for a few years, and the use of these herbs is common sense. When the rain stops, let's go find a Langzhong first, I'm afraid this rough method will also be useful to us reckless people in the mountains. ”

"I'm not a daughter." Qu Yilan wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and bit the leaf angrily, as if she was biting the enemy.

There are fruits prepared by Xiao Yanhua, and those grass leaves are not unpalatable. Qu Yilan was either burning very badly, or she hadn't eaten and was hungry, chewing a few mouthfuls of leaves and mountain fruits, and felt a lot better.

The rain still refused to stop for a moment, and the three children sat at the entrance of the cave and watched the rain, and talked more. Qu Yilan was very unsuspecting against Xiao Yanhua, as if she had been depressed for a long time in an environment where she couldn't trust anyone, and now she could finally pour out all her dissatisfaction like pouring beans.

She said that her mother died early, how the bride was kind to her at first, and then how she discovered the strange attitude of her subordinates, and how she found the little gestures of the bride and the acquiescence of her father......

Qu Yilan talked to Xiao Yanhua very happily, she kept talking, and Sakura listened to the eyes with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Yanhua listened to her quietly most of the time, he said that he didn't know who his biological parents were, and when he had a memory, he came to his adoptive parents' house and started working. Life is like being a cow and a horse, which is very painful and monotonous at the same time. Monotonous just want to say a word.

They talked until the rain stopped, and Xiao Yanhua got up and said, "We can go." There's a town over there, just two or three miles below the official road station, have you brought any money? ”

Qu Yilan said embarrassedly, "No, I don't have ......"

"Then I have to go back to the post station first, it's only four or five miles away from the official road, I know where my adoptive parents' money is, it should still be there at this time."

"Do we have to go back?" Qu Yilan suddenly grabbed Xiao Yanhua's hand.

"But we don't have any money, so when we go to town, you have to see Lang Zhong first, and we have to eat. You wait here, I'll come back when I go and see, and maybe find someone with you. ”

"Or let's go together." Qu Yilan climbed his arm and got up, holding on to him like a gecko. She is very dependent on this person who has known her for a long time, and Xiao Yanhua's care for her is completely different from that of Sakura.

"Let's go, then." Xiao Yanhua looked at the girl who only reached his chest and sighed softly.

The rainy mountain road was very muddy and difficult to walk, and they groped their way back to the vicinity of the inn with difficulty and care. The three of them squatted in the weeds on the side of the road, Xiao Yanhua pointed to the grass houses and whispered, "This is it." ”

The rain seems to have washed away the horrors and intrigues of the night, and the official road is exceptionally fresh and pleasant. The shadow of last night's fangs and claws has also become a row of ordinary grass houses, standing there quietly, and no one has cleaned up the wet shed. The carriage at the entrance of the inn was gone, and even the ruts had been washed clean. Only the doors and windows of the inn on the second floor of the small were wide open, but there was no movement, as if nothing had happened.

"Are they gone?" Qu Yilan wanted to touch it forward.

But Xiao Yanhua stopped her, then got up and walked to the middle of the road, he looked around for a long time, and no one rushed out to do anything to him. Qu Yilan grabbed the cherry blossoms and watched Xiao Yanhua walk to the grass house with great nervousness. He soon came out, holding the small cloth bag he had just packed up, and walked around the door of the post station again before returning.

He beckoned to the two girls and said, "Come out, there is no one, and the bodies are gone, they should have been disposed of." ”

Qu Yilan and Sakura climbed out of the grass and asked, "What about inside the station?" ”

"I don't know, you can go in and have a look."

Three daring children snuck into the inn, and the first floor was the same as yesterday, and the furnishings were normal. It's just that there is no shopkeeper in this room, no man, and not a single pant is gone. They climbed the stairs with their hands and feet, and there were only five rooms on the second floor, but they looked a little messy. The room where Qu Yilan and Sakura once lived remained the same as when they left.

Qu Yilan put away her caution and said dejectedly, "Seventh Senior Brother, they won't have an accident, right?" ”

Xiao Yanhua looked down at the ground, bent down to pick up an iron pipe and asked, "What is this?" ”

Qu Yilan glanced at it and said casually, "The Cao family's secret weapon, this is called a breathing tube." ”

"That Caojiazhuang, who is the best weapon in the world?"

"Yes," but Qu Yilan didn't think this was any useful information, "If you can find the Cao family's secret weapon, and you have the ability to kill the people who come to Qingmen, you must also be a person with a head and a face, but this doesn't prove who it is." ”

Xiao Yanhua's fingertips slid over the delicate iron pipe, and the delicate patterns engraved on it had a delicate touch in his hand. With a slight pull, he stretched the retractable iron pipe.

"This breath is so exquisite." Qu Yilan suddenly spoke.

Xiao Yanhua handed over the breath holder when he heard this, Qu Yilan took it in his hand and touched it and said, "I have seen one in the sect, it doesn't have such a beautiful luster and pattern. You see that these patterns are not only beautiful, but the yin and yang engravings on the inner and outer walls can also make the telescopic tube get stuck, and the person who made it must be very, very careful. It shouldn't be possible for this kind of thing to be dropped unintentionally. ”
