On the second day, rumors about lung-eating dogs in Qingyuan County were already raging.

When Su Yu, Xie Tongtong, and Xie Luoying came to find Chu Hui, they all looked scared.

"Ma'am, did you catch the lung-eating dog?" Su Yu looked out the window, "When I came over, I also saw Yang Zhutou and people catching wild dogs!" ”

Chu Cheng shook her head: "After all, the county seat is so big, it is not easy to catch it easily." ”

Xie Tongtong's eyes were full of horror: "If you can't catch it, the lung-eating dog will fly, how can you catch it." ”

Su Yu is older, he analyzed: "In my opinion, the lung-eating dog may be a sick wild dog, it is crazy to bite and hurt people, so that no one can catch it." ”

Xie Luoying was also a little worried, she told Su Yu and Xie Tongtong: "You two, don't run around during this time, who knows where the lung-eating dog will come from." Especially Tongtong, you just stay in the grocery store honestly, don't always think about going out to play. ”

Xie Tongtong thought that he couldn't play, muttered, and said reluctantly, "Okay." ”

Su Yu asked again at this time: "Madam, can't you have a good rest during this time?" Chu Cheng was also very helpless, and nodded: "Even you know it, you can imagine his style." ”

Su Yu said with a smile: "Madame also has to persuade the adults to have a good rest, otherwise he will fall, and I don't know who will solve this case." ”

Xie Luoying also chimed in: "Yes." ”

Xie Tongtong, who was on the side, didn't know what to think, and suddenly said, "Madam, when can Wang Biao be arrested and put in prison?" He came to bother my sister again yesterday......"

"Tongtong!"

Xie Luoying obviously didn't want to cause trouble to Chu Cheng, and scolded Xie Tongtong.

Xie Tongtong hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head to play with his fingers.

Chu Cheng frowned and asked, "Then Wang Biao came to the grocery store to make trouble again?" ”

Xie Luoying didn't care much, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, he didn't dare to stir up any waves there." Yesterday he came over, and I whipped him with a broomstick, and pulled blood marks out of his back and legs. He knew that he was at a loss, but he didn't dare to report to the official, in the final analysis, he was looking for his own hardships. ”

"The next time he comes, he will go to the yamen and have people arrest him."

Xie Luoying waved his hand: "Lord Lin has to deal with the murder case, so this kind of trivial matter will not trouble him." Moreover, Wang Biao can't please now. ”

Su Yu couldn't help but say, "Sister Xie is really powerful, you are so strong, no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”

Unexpectedly, Xie Luoying heard this, and just smiled slightly bitterly: "If I can be like my wife, I have a strong husband to protect me, why should I be so ......strong" When she said this, she felt that this sound strange, and she was too embarrassed to say to Chu Ying, "It's Luoying's gaffe, madam, don't think too much." ”

Chu Cheng smiled and didn't care: "I understand what you mean." But Luoying, you are still young, there is no need to worry, no matter what, finding the right person is the most important thing. ”

Xie Luoying shook his head.

Although Chu Cheng in front of her looked younger than her, it was a little strange to say this, but thinking that she was actually twenty-seven, she accepted it calmly.

***

Lin Boqin has been investigating the case of lung-eating dogs recently, and Chu Cheng does not dare to go to the county government to disturb him.

She studied pastries with Xie Luoying on weekdays, or chatted with Su Yu, and had nothing to do all day. That night, Mubi brought water to serve her to wash, but Chu Cheng keenly heard the loose sound of tiles on the roof.

Seeing her holding a handkerchief, Mabi couldn't help but remind her: "Madam? Madam? The water is cold. ”

Chu Cheng came back to her senses, washed her face quietly, rinsed her mouth with a bristle toothbrush dipped in salt, and listened carefully to the movement on the roof.

She instructed Mabi, "By the way, I suddenly want to drink porridge now, you and Xi Du can go to the kitchen to boil some for me." Although it was strange, Maunbi left with the basin of water.

Chu Cheng saw that the two of them were separated, so she walked outside the door, and saw that there was no one around, and a little bit under her feet, a harrier turned over and stepped on the wall and flew up to the roof, stepping on the tile steadily.

In the middle of the roof stood a man dressed in black, carrying a bronze long sword, and it was Xiao Xu, who had not been seen for a long time.

"It turned out to be Brother Xiao."

Chu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was a lung-eating dog.

Xiao Qi didn't know what she was thinking, tidied up the curled arrow sleeves, stepped forward and said, "I have nothing to do recently, I want to meet you for a drink, so I have the courage to come over, I don't know if it bothers you." ”

Chu Cheng smiled slightly, glanced at him and said, "I thought you were going to miss the appointment!" ”

Xiao Xuan laughed loudly: "The gentleman said a quick word and a whip, and agreed to drink together, how could I break my promise?" ”

Chu Shen's eyes were shining, she took a step forward, "brushed" and pulled out the soft sword on her waist, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "If you want to drink, you can practice first." If Brother Xiao, your skills have not improved, you will not be able to drink this wine. ”

"Good! Fifty strokes first! ”

Xiao Shu knew that she was martial, and she was not angry, so she made a "please" gesture and raised her sword to stab.

In a flash of cold light, the bronze long sword had pierced a foot in Chu Cheng's chest, Chu Cheng reacted extremely quickly, raised his hand to parry, and separated the long sword with a "bang". Chu Cheng stared at the tip of the soft sword, thinking to herself, Xiao Xuan had not seen him for more than a month, and his skills had increased again, so he didn't dare to despise it at all. She took half a step forward, the soft sword was on defense, but Xiao Xuan slid a step backwards steeply, Chu Shen's soft sword followed, only to hear the clanging of weapons handover, the two long swords trembled into two sword flowers, one gold and one green, and it was beautiful in the night.

The two of them had one move and one style, which was so wonderful that they only said fifty moves, but then they were stunned to dismantle sixty or seventy moves, and the moves became faster and faster, only to see the sword light, but not the moves.

Chu Ji was obviously invincible behind, this Xiao Qi was obviously a heavy sword, but she could make it so flexible, she couldn't help but admire it.

Seeing that there was no time to respond in the end, Chu Cheng simply jumped back, got out of the range of the move, wrapped the soft sword around his waist, and waved his hand breathlessly: "If you don't come, you won't come, I'm willing to bow down." ”

She is telling the truth, Xiao Xu's martial arts are obviously above her, and she will not be able to benefit if she continues to fight.

Xiao Xuan put away the sword and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you haven't practiced martial arts well this month." ”

Chu Cheng sighed: "It's Brother Xiao, you're getting more and more powerful." ”

At this moment, Chu Ji saw from a distance that the two maids of Bixi Dusk were carrying gruel and walking towards this side with lanterns, she informed Xiao Xuan and jumped off the roof.

Chu Cheng forced herself to drink a bowl of porridge and urged the two girls to go to sleep.

Although Mabi and Xi Du were puzzled, they thought that Chu Cheng was sleepy, so they washed and rested outside. After making sure that the two of them were resting, Chu Cheng tiptoed away and discussed with Xiao Xuan where to drink.

This restaurant is closed.

couldn't find it, Chu Cheng simply patted her thigh: "Let's go, let's go to Cuihong Courtyard." ”

Xiao Xuan was stunned: "Qinglou? ”

"yes."

Xiao Yu couldn't cry or laugh: "Qinglou won't let women in, what's more, you go to Qinglou with me, and your husband knows about it, and he is afraid that he will reprimand you again." ”

Chu Cheng muttered: "He doesn't bother to care about me now, there is a big case in Qingyuan County, and he is busy all day without seeing anyone, it's the middle of the night, it's strange to be able to touch him." She thought that it was really not good to go to the Qinglou and dress like this, so she ran to Lin Boqin's room, found a piece of his clothes, and combed her hair into a man's bun, and inserted a bamboo hairpin from Lin Boqin.

Xiao Xuan saw that she had changed a lot, and couldn't help but look at her curiously.

Then he laughed: "Chu Ji, you really know how to find a way to pretend to be a man." ”

Chu Cheng laughed and said, "When I get to Cuihong Courtyard later, maybe those girls will rush to serve me." ”

The emerald courtyard is brightly lit, and the fat powder fragrance is mixed with the wine to form a strange and charming fragrance.

The girl bustard shook her handkerchief and ushered in the send-off, which was very happy.

The old bustard saw that Chu Cheng and Xiao Xuan were face-to-face, but the two of them were not badly dressed, and they showed their talents, so they came over to greet enthusiastically: "Which girls do you want from the two?" ”

Chu Ji didn't understand much about this, and seeing that Xiao Qi didn't often come to the land of fireworks, she said in a rough voice: "Get a table of good wine and food, and then call two beautiful girls to come over and serve, the silver, the uncle has it." As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot of ten taels from her sleeve and shoved it into the bustard's hand.

Seeing that she was generous, the old bustard hurriedly called the turtle to beckon the two to go to the upstairs box.

The box is near the window, and it opens just enough to see the boundless night.

Xiao Xuan and Chu Cheng drank two cups first, then dismissed the two girls who were waiting, and smiled at Chu Hui: "You are like that, you are like a gentleman in the capital. ”

Chu Cheng let out an "oh" and supported her smooth chin: "Really?" I learned it from a friend of mine, and he was a complete gentleman in the capital. "She's talking about Yuwen Xiaohouye, a friend who has been unruly with her since she was a child.

Xiao Xuan knew that Chu Cheng was not simple, and she didn't ask who her friend was.

He said: "These days, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of Second Sister Chun, but I have found nothing. But I learned from the government that the second sister of Chun and her gang specialized in theft and robbery, and hid a lot of good things in Wangzhou. But I heard that those good things have been seized by the government and will be sent to Beijing in the near future. ”

Chu Cheng was not surprised, Second Sister Chun's gang did this kind of business.

"Then what is Brother Xiao going to do next?"

Xiao Xuan touched the mustache on his lips, frowned, and said, "Of course, continue to look for Second Sister Chun, this person is extremely guilty and must be punished as he deserves." ”

Chu Cheng nodded: "Indeed." ”

This second sister of Chun coveted Lin Boqin, and if she didn't solve her, what would Lin Boqin do if she was kidnapped by her and be the husband of the village.

Xiao Xuan asked again: "By the way, you said that a major event happened in Qingyuan County, what is the big thing?" ”

Chu Cheng hurriedly told him about the rumors of the lung-eating dog, and the two drank while talking, from the matter of Qingyuan County to the martial arts competition, and they drank several pots unconsciously.

She gradually got a little up, so she waved her hand at Xiao Xu, raised her glass and said, "Brother Xiao, come and have a drink, let's drink it next time." Xiao Xuan saw that it was dark, of course he would not persuade him to drink, and after it was over, he would send Chu Cheng back to Lin Mansion.

Chu Cheng hadn't drunk for a long time, and she was a little bit down when she walked, so she finally walked outside the door of Lin Mansion, waved goodbye to Xiao Xu, and turned over and entered the hospital.

She wanted to go back quietly by herself, and then sleep lazily to ensure that no one knew, but unexpectedly walked outside her house, Xi Dusk and Mabi were trembling and kneeling on the ground, and Lin Boqin stood on the steps, standing with his hands in his hands, his face like frost.

Chu Hui's heart "groaned", and the wine woke up half of it.
