My heart jumped a few times, knowing that this old witch had already recognized Qingzi, my heart was worried, and I couldn't care about anything else, so I calmed down and put all my mind on it, and ran the yin and yang bottle to rush through the pass. For a moment, the voices of the first few people outside could no longer be heard.

After a while, I suddenly heard a few thunderous explosions, which made the puddles tremble, and I knew that the old witch must be using the thunder method. Stabilize your mind, don't get distracted, ignore everything outside, and concentrate on hitting the key.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a pain in my back, and I knew that it was the key that was washed away, and I was happy. At this time, my mind returned, and I felt as if there was someone standing next to me. As soon as the scalp is tight, you have to slap the ground with your palm and take advantage of the situation to pull out your body. At this moment, I heard the little girl's crisp voice calling "brother" next to me.

As soon as his heart moved, he immediately withdrew his hands, landed on his feet, and pulled his head out of the water. Before I had time to wipe the muddy water off my face, I opened my eyes and saw that Xu Ruomei's little girl was standing in front of me, the person next to me was wearing a yellow and green floral dress, carrying a backpack, her hair was tied in a black and shiny braid, hanging down on her chest, and a milky white woven straw hat was pressed on her head, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her lips were ruddy, which was very different from her usual dress. Standing there, suddenly like a spring breeze.

I watched it in a daze for a long time, and then I suddenly woke up when I heard Xu Ruomei's little girl call "brother" in a crisp voice. swept around, but there was no trace of the old witch, Lin Wenjing, and Liu Nan.

"What about the old witch?" It was asked towards Aoko.

But before she could answer, she was robbed by the little girl: "That old witch was beaten away by thieves!" ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and I immediately rejoiced: "How is your body?" ”

I heard her say, "No." "If the dead woman says no, then there must be none. Sect Master Ru also said that as a Yin Patrolman, if you use the blood contract in vain, you will be seriously injured at least and killed at worst, where can you recover so easily.

I was slightly disappointed when I heard it, but as long as I heard her voice, my heart was already happy and tight. For a while, he forgot about anything, just stared at her.

I saw her frown slightly and said, "It's dirty." ”

Xu Ruomei's little girl also immediately pinched her nose and shouted, "Brother stinks to death!" ”

It was only then that I came to my senses, and I had just plunged headlong into this puddle of mud, and not only my upper body was soaked, but my face and body were all covered in mud. I couldn't help but secretly scream luck, just now fortunately, the little girl shouted in time, otherwise she would have jumped out of the pit with a thud, and she would not have splashed the muddy water of the two of them. With this dead woman's clean nature, she doesn't know how to clean me up.

At this time, I heard Qingzi say, "Your master is awake." Then he took the little girl and walked over. I saw the middle-aged Taoist lying there, wiped a handful of mud from his face, and followed.

By the time I passed, the man had already opened his eyes. The little girl threw herself on him and cried out, "Master! Master! ”

I saw that the person was pale and in good spirits, but his breath was steady, he must have been treated by Qingzi, and his life should be worry-free. stepped forward to check his pulse, took a three-edged needle, and sealed a few needles on his body.

Xu Ruomei's little girl jumped up from her master's arms, pulled Qingzi with one hand, and said crisply: "This is my thief." Then he pointed at me, "This is my brother." At the end, he added, "It's just a little stinky." ”

I don't bother to bother with this little broken child. But the man was very embarrassed and apologized again and again. After listening to him, I knew that this person was a disciple of the Maoshan faction, named Li Cheng. He only joined the Maoshan faction after he was thirty years old, so although he is quite old now, he is the same generation as the reckless spirits.

In Nanyang that year, Xu Ruomei, a little girl, had both parents dead and became an orphan, and she couldn't find the rest of her family for a while, so she was sent to Maoshan Ancestral Court and worshipped this master named Li Cheng.

I saw that although Li Cheng's ability was mediocre, he was modest, and Xu Ruomei was extremely dependent on her, and I could see that the master and apprentice had a deep relationship, and they were also happy for this little girl.

This time, the master and apprentice came down the mountain to travel, and who knew that they had encountered today's incident.

Li Cheng rested for a while, his complexion was already much better, and he got up and took Xu Ruomei to prepare to go back to Maoshan. When parting, the little girl was reluctant, and pulled Qingzi and shouted: "Thief, I want to hug." ”

I saw Qingzi's strange face, and I couldn't help but think that day on Cinnabar Island, this little girl was nervous, urinated on her, and I couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud. Dengshi was given a sideways glance by her.

I couldn't hold back my laughter, and I saw Xu Ruomei's little girl hugging Qingzi's waist, hugging her directly, hugging her for a long time, raising her little head and saying, "Thief, you are so fragrant." ”

Then he turned around and said to me: "Stinky brother, I won't hug you, I'll hug you when you don't stink." ”

I cursed in my heart, who is so rare to hug you little broken child, hurry up and get out of here. I went to peek at Qingzi again.

When the master and apprentice were far away, I looked around for a while, remembering that there should be a waterhole nearby, and I was just going to wash. The two of them walked for a while, and then they came to the waterhole.

There is a large tree on the edge of this pool, which seems to be hundreds of years old, and its roots are knotted, and it grows extremely luxuriantly. Seeing that Qingzi turned to the back of the tree, he took off his muddy clothes with confidence, jumped off the pool to take a good bath, and by the way, he touched two fish from the pool and threw them on the ground, crackling.

The backpack was also a mess of mud, but fortunately it didn't get wet, so I took a set of clean clothes and changed, walked to the tree, and saw her sitting on a piece of bluestone with her knees crossed, so she said, "Is it okay to eat grilled fish?" ”

Aoko let out an "um".

I went to gather a pile of firewood, washed and peeled the two fish, and grilled them on the spot. The light of the fire was flickering, and there was a splashing sound from time to time.

"Where have you been all these days?" I asked as I grilled the fish.

Aoko said a few places. As soon as I heard it, these places seemed to be wandering aimlessly.

I saw her hugging her knees, burying her face in her knees, the firelight swaying, and half of her snow-white jade cheeks were reflected as if dyed with rouge, so I smiled and said, "I've been playing for so long, are you in a better mood?" "I wanted to say, "I've been in the wild for so long," but I didn't dare.

I just heard her say, "No." ”

When the dead woman left home, she left only a note, saying that she had gone to play. But I didn't ask to know that she was actually uncomfortable. She has a deep relationship with her master, and now that she has heard the news of her master's death, how can she untie her heart so quickly.

I saw that she was sad, and I felt uncomfortable, so I changed the topic and said, "You look good in this dress, I haven't seen you wear it before, right?" ”

Qingzi let out a "hmm" and said, "I bought it on the road." Finally, he added, "And this hat." ”

I said it was also very beautiful. And he said, "I have never seen you in braids." ”

Qingzi said: "I pierced it a long time ago. She said a long time ago, presumably before sleeping in the tomb.

When I saw that the fish was a little browned, I turned it over, and when I saw her pick up a stick from the ground and set off the fire, I couldn't help but think that day when I was empowered by evil spirits, and when I was dying, I wanted to eat the grilled fish. This eldest lady who usually doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers really baked one for me, although it is half-baked, and even the fish scales have not been scraped off, but it is the thought of my life. The chest is hot, and the eye sockets are slightly hazy.

Thinking of the person who loves cleanliness so much on weekdays, in order to grill a fish, she smoked it into a flower cat, and felt funny for no reason, and she couldn't help laughing.

I heard Qingzi say: "What are you laughing at?" ”

I didn't dare to mention the fork at that time, so I vaguely turned the fish over and roasted it for a while, and said, "Why don't you roast it?" She glanced sideways.

The firelight flickered. Soon, the aroma of grilled fish rises to the top. I handed her the golden fish, and when she took a bite, she said, "What do you usually eat?" ”

Listen to her: "I don't eat much." ”

I laughed and said, "I can't do it without me." ”

She ignored me, just ate the grilled fish in her hand. I picked up another fish, went over and sat down next to her, and took a big bite, tossing for so long, and I was hungry. While eating fish, I stared at her, only to feel that the haze that had been pressing on my heart for days had disappeared.

The firelight was shining, the firewood made a few beeping sounds from time to time, and the night was quiet.
