It is said that Liu Zhier is going to the front hall to tell the daughter of the blue and white embroidery building in detail, and the matter will be explained clearly with a cup of tea.

Liu Zhier took Qiuyue and the little girl in Tsing Yi to the front hall, and saw that the children of the blue and white embroidery building were all lined up in the front hall, stopping at the place of the outline or fence, and the groups of three or five were talking and whispering. Qiu Yue stepped forward and looked around, and said to the sisters. "Ladies and gentlemen, my aunt is going out for a few days for the sake of our Qiusheng brothers. Please sisters, don't listen to gossip, we don't care if my aunt is at home or not, just do our part, so that my aunt won't suffer outside, and we must be afraid to worry about our sisters. ”

Before Qiu Yue finished speaking, the sisters of the Qinglou began to murmur, and one of them, a shrewd Liu girl, said in a straight voice. "Miss Qiu, although you are our top brand, can you guarantee that after your aunt leaves, you can ensure that our sisters have no worries about food and clothing?" Miss Liu muttered like this, and the sisters behind them rushed up and made a fuss. The front hall of a green building has become a bustling noise in the market, like a long-tongued woman in the market, and it has become a woman's patent field.

Liu Zhi'er saw the formation in front of her, silently crossed over, looked at her coldly, and said slowly. "You wild hooves, let the old lady say what is good about you? The old lady has not yet walked out of this blue and white embroidery building, so you will make trouble by yourself first, which really impresses the old lady. With that, he stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at everyone again to continue. The old lady is here to make it clear to everyone, although the old lady went out to look for our family's Li Qiusheng, but the old lady did not take away half of the blue and white embroidery building, what are you coaxing blindly? The old lady wants you to make such a crooked trouble, isn't she afraid that the old lady will lose your mixed support? You can rest assured, my mother is not a heartless pig and donkey, and she can do such a life-breaking thing. The old lady will tell you the truth: In addition to the entanglement on the road, the old lady just went out with the two girls of Wufeng in Tsing Yi. Among all of you, Tsing Yi and Wufeng, the two girls are still a little smart and delicate, the old lady can take care of the old lady's life along the way, and secondly, there are companions to talk to on the road. All the other old ladies have been handed over to the horse steward to take care of, so you can do your business with peace of mind. If you can be like the wild hooves of Qiuyue, don't let the old lady worry and be afraid, and know the cold and warm, the old lady has to thank you a lot! ”

In the front hall, the sisters were slapped in the face by Liu Zhi'er, and the emotions that everyone had just stirred up seemed to have stabilized, and they slowly dispersed in an instant. The huge front hall seems to have returned to its former calm and busyness, and the winds of July and August are still mixed with a hint of sharp light heat.

The little man sent out by Ma Fu earlier had already found a porter from the town's street market who was familiar with the advantages of mountains and rivers. After the little guy returned, he retreated, and Ma Fu led the porter to the back hall to see Liu Zhi'er.

Liu Zhi'er was immediately overjoyed, and made it clear to Zhang Laobao, who was in a hurry, the news and address sent by those officials. The old leopard hurriedly took out a shabby topographical silk white drawing from his coat pocket and looked at it carefully, and then pointed to a small black dot on the edge of a silk white map and said. "Shopkeeper Liu, the place you are going to is on this little black spot. But it's not far from us to there, and according to the distance we only take the official road and not the trail, I'm afraid we will have to walk for more than a month. ”

After listening to Zhang Laobao's words, Liu Zhi'er was silent for a moment. Even if the three of them go there, I'm afraid that Li Qiusheng's matter has already been dealt with, and I can't wait for you Liu Zhi'er to find someone to intercede. Thinking like this, Liu Zhi'er's heart swelled again, and a look of anticipation covered her face.

Seeing this, the little girl in Tsing Yi was so anxious that she raised her voice and hurriedly asked. "Auntie, why don't we go looking for Brother Qiusheng?"

Liu Zhi'er glanced at the little girl in Tsing Yi and said indignantly. "Little girl, you're in a hurry. Didn't you see the old lady talking to the husband who was in a hurry? The old lady knows that you are worried about your Qiusheng brother, so we have to go back to everything. Bi Jing, we have been separated from this kid Qiusheng for almost two years, so we have to meet each other if we live or die, and we can be regarded as a 'mother and son'. ”

Listening to Liu Zhi'er's simple decision, everyone seemed to be reassured by Liu Zhi'er's strong support. Xiao Qingyi happily took Wufeng's hand and said, "Sister Wufeng, let's go to Brother Qiusheng with my aunt this time, it's really good." ”

Wufeng replied with a face that seemed to amuse Tsing Yi, "Sister Wufeng knows that you are the most anxious, and now I can't wait to turn into a monkey and fly away on the clouds." Ma Fu, on the other hand, shrugged his head, like an eggplant wilted in the snow, and felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

The three of them compared for a while, and finally shortened the journey for another ten days on the topographic map according to the map. The old leopard raised his head and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, that's all I can know, if there is any mess and mistakes on the road, this time may be longer." I'll ask Shopkeeper Liu again now, are we going to go this time? ”

Liu Zhi'er was also ignorant for a moment, he glanced at Ma Fu helplessly, and then looked at Zhan Qingyi, who was still happy and had faded on his face, and said with a grit. "Zhang Laobao, now he is ready to send an arrow. This time, we'll have to go through it. ”

Zhang Laobao immediately followed Liu Zhi'er's words and said abruptly. "It's so good, it's not too late for us to be friendly. I think you should take care of your clothes today, and then we'll set off early tomorrow morning. Then without waiting for Liu Zhi'er to explain anything, he packed up the silk and white graphics and walked out of the backyard.

After the porter Zhang Laobao left, Liu Zhi'er instructed Wufeng to go and wrap some clothes first. I didn't forget to explain Ma Fu to a special explanation, and today's troublesome things are finally over. Liu Zhi'er spread her waist, lying on the reclining chair with pity, and slowly closed her tired eyes.

The next day, just after dawn, without waiting for the people in the blue and white embroidery building to get up and send each other, Liu Zhier and the other three took the road guide issued by the town's government and hurried on the road.

Although the big butler Ma Fu couldn't bear it, he followed him all the way out of the Changting Pavilion outside the city. But the master and servant couldn't avoid separating after all, so they had to tell Wufeng to take good care of Liu Zhi'er and leave each other in a blur of tears.

Besides, since Old Man Dong left the General's Mansion, he has been driving his horse to Liyang Town in the south.

Within a day or two, Old Man Dong stepped out of the Jingshi territory. Because he had also sent Dong Yanzhi to Du Mansion in the capital once before, and it can be said that he was familiar with going back this time. But because of the search for people along the way, although Old Man Dong is familiar with it, he still has a lot of time. If it drags on like this, the journey will be slow.

On this day, Old Man Dong searched all the way south, and unconsciously walked to the ground at the head of the world. In a post station at the head of the world, I finally heard a little news about Dong Yanzhi returning to the south alone.

The cause of the incident is this, on that day, the old man Dong drove for three days and three nights in a row, and the people and horses reached the point where they were exhausted and difficult to walk. Dong Ye Laozi saw that the sky had darkened a little at this time, and then looked around. I almost screamed. Mom, this kind of poor mountain and bad water place in front of you, this place that has no village in front and no store in the back, if you are trapped here tonight, you will die for a lifetime.

Not to mention that this kind of terrain is conducive to the infestation of robbers and robbers, it is the jackals, tigers and leopards in the deep jungle in the mountains, and the three watches rush out in groups in the middle of the night to make people's scalps tingle. As a last resort, Old Man Dong cheered up again and worked hard to destroy the horse and walked forward for more than an hour. finally left these poor mountains and rivers far behind, and his heart relaxed at once.

He looked around again, and saw a faint light shining from the dark edge of the sky in front of him, like an inhabited village. At this time, the dual effects of fatigue and hunger were driven down together, and Old Man Dong couldn't care about it so much anymore, and his heart went straight to the past in the dark.

Looking closely, it is actually a small quadrangular courtyard. With the glimmer of a green lantern hanging at the door, Old Man Dong looked up and saw that it was actually a small post station set up here by the state and county government offices. Old Man Dong's heart was immediately shocked, and he frowned and said secretly. "Didn't Lao Tzu send it to the door for nothing? Why am I so unlucky? didn't say anything about harming his granddaughter, and even got himself into it this time. ”

was hesitating whether to knock on the wood door of this small post station, and accidentally slipped his hand down and touched an object on his waist. Old Man Dong was immediately pleasantly surprised, and his brows showed a hint of joy. He thought that although he was still a fugitive who would not see the light of day, in this deserted race, those postmen who had closed the news might not be able to recognize his true identity. Coupled with the waist card given by the General's Mansion as a guide, even if these people can recognize themselves in a daze, they don't dare to do anything to themselves. The waist card of General Bi Jing's Mansion is here, this is the road to the sky. Thinking of this, Old Man Dong waved his hand and knocked on the door of the small post station regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

After waiting for a long time, I heard an old cough and intermittent self-talk. "Who? The disturbance in the middle of the night was not a sudden attack by bandits and bandits. ”

Old Man Dong hurriedly replied loudly through the door panel. "I'm not a bandit, I'm an official of the General's Mansion. Open the door, old man. This mountain is high and the road is far away, so you can let us go in and spend the night. With that, he banged on the door a few more times. After a while, I heard another creaking door opening and coughing sound from the main hall. Old man Dong looked in through the gap in the door, and vaguely saw an old man carrying a green lantern staggeringly over.

The door of the inn creaked open from the inside, and suddenly an ugly face full of wrinkles and ravines came out. Old Man Dong seemed to be taken aback suddenly, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and then heard the terrifying face say.

"Guest officer, it's the middle of the night, where did you call? Are you here to stay? Or is it the official messenger who passed by and got lost? To put it bluntly, the little old man is so bad to entertain you. ”
