Chapter Twenty-Three: Hiding in the Bluestone Ditch

He Chong secretly left the Liuyun Sword Sect from the back mountain, but it was not easy to come down the mountain, some disciples under the mountain were still unwilling, they searched for He Chong's whereabouts everywhere under the mountain, and He Chong had to hide. Afraid of being discovered, he hid longer than he had.

He remembered that Master Miao told him that he could only inquire about the way to Qingshigou twenty miles away from Qianfeng Mountain, so he never dared to inquire. Walking to an unknown village, he thought that there should be no problem, so he took out the silver taels and planned to find someone to buy some dry food, he was hungry for several days, sometimes he couldn't eat a meal for two days, and he couldn't stand it even when he was hungry and tired.

He did not dare to walk from the main road in the village, and as he turned around the path, he heard his name mentioned.

"If you can't see He Chong here, then he must be out of our sphere of influence, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to find it again. ”

"Then let's keep this place, not afraid that he won't come. From here is the only way to the west, and he will come here when he escapes from the back mountain. ”

"Yes, we are not unreasonable people, we just want his blood, not his life. In the future, we will be developed, and no one will dare to mention it. ”

"Yes, you're still smart. ”

He Chong listened to the footsteps, and there were about twenty or thirty people. He was terrified. Look around and see if you can get past these people.

"Let's guard all the roads out of the village, and then let people guard the various intersections in the village, as long as he comes, he can't run. Remember, you can't let go of the small roads in the village. ”

When He Chong heard this, he was even more afraid. He thought to himself, I'm stupid, if only I didn't come in. What can I do? If I hide in someone's yard and let people find out, they won't kill me?

Just then, he heard footsteps, and several people were coming towards him. He had been walking for a long time, frightened, and had never eaten enough, and was so weak that he could not listen to his legs when he wanted to run. What can I do about this? As soon as he was in a hurry, his eyes went dark, and he didn't feel anything.

After waiting for a long time, He Chong felt as if many years had passed, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying down, his eyes were blurry, he couldn't see clearly, he felt that someone was moving, and there was more than one person. They seem to have mentioned themselves.

He Chong thought, it's over, but he was still caught. Forget it, you can't run anyway, if you want to kill or scrape, just admit it. He slowly opened his eyes, and felt that the room was quite open, although it was relatively shabby, but it was still clean. He saw himself lying on a bed, and there was a person dozing off next to him, and when he looked closely, it was none other than Qiu Tong. What's going on? How did he ...... me? No, how do I get him to give ...... No, in the end, what's going on? He Chong felt confused.

At this time, an old man came in, and he looked at Liu Wenyuan. When Liu Wenyuan saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "How is your body?

These words also woke up Qiu Tong on the side. He rubbed his eyes, looked at He Chong, and saw that he was fine, so he said, "It should be relieved." All right. ”

He Chong also said politely: "Senior Liu, I didn't expect me to hide in Tibet, and finally let you give ......"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Wenyuan waved his hand and said, "It's all our fault for you, otherwise you wouldn't be like this." It should be saved from you, and it's a coincidence. ”

He Chong was surprised, he asked, "How do you call it a coincidence?"

Qiu Tong said: "Master and I were going to see a relative of my master, who was quite far away from here, but I told you about the heavenly birds, and Master was afraid that you wouldn't be able to tell me clearly, so I wrote a letter to Miao Dongshan. Later, my master felt that the more he explained, the worse it would be. So, take me back, come to you, if you're okay, we'll do what we do, if there's something, we'll come to your rescue. I didn't expect to meet you fainting at the door here. ”

He Chong said, "This is here?"

Qiu Tong said: "This is also a relative's house of my master, and when we saw your fellow disciples looking for you in the village, we didn't dare to go out. ”

He Chong said: "Senior Liu, thank you so much. ”

The old man Liu before was He Chong's own thoughts, he actually looked down on Liu Wenyuan a little, and felt that compared with the style of the Liuyun Sword Sect of the martial arts faction, Liu Wenyuan was too shabby and looked down on him a little. Now that I have been rescued by others, my heart is full of gratitude and respect for others.

Liu Wenyuan said: "It's okay, it's fate for us to meet again, don't be embarrassed." We have what we do wrong, and we should. ”

He Chong remembered the letter from Master Miao to Liu Wenyuan, took it out of his arms, the letter was already very bad, and he handed the letter to Liu Wenyuan.

Liu Wenyuan looked at it, thought about it and said, "Okay, since Master Miao has a trust, and I am also at fault, you follow me, let's get through the difficulties together." ”

He Chong got out of bed and gave Liu Wenyuan a salute to express his gratitude. Liu Wenyuan smiled and said: "He Chong, you don't have to be like this, when you see my apprentice, he never salutes me, it sounds good, I say it's a sect, in fact, the master wants to support the elderly, and he has no son, so he will bring an apprentice and give me a pension in the future." I don't have much contact with anyone. So, you are here with me, save the etiquette and style of the Liuyun Sword Sect, just go straight and don't talk around the bend, I'm old, my brain is not good, you go around and around, I don't understand. ”

He Chongxin said, this can be, it's really easy to save trouble. I still have to say: "What Senior Liu said is that I will definitely change." ”

Liu Wenyuan asked him: "Okay, can you move now?"

He Chong said: "I am in good health and can move. ”

Liu Wenyuan pointed in front of him and said, "Kneel down and worship me as a teacher." ”

Ahh Liu Wenyuan saw that he didn't move, and urged him to say a few words. He Chong sobered up and asked him, "Senior Liu, what do you mean by this? Do you want me to betray the Liuyun Sword Sect? I have never thought of it that way. When I joined the Liuyun Sword Sect, my master, even my Uncle Kang, repeatedly mentioned that we would not be allowed to betray our master. If anyone does it, the sect will not tolerate it, and there will be no place on the rivers and lakes. You've embarrassed me by doing this, and if you force me, I'll go out and let my fellow men kill me, and I'll never do that. I can't take it. ”

Liu Wenyuan listened to him and said, "Oh, that is, you haven't read the letter yet, right?" ”

He Chong said: "Letter, ah, yes, it was written to you by the master, how can I read it?"

Liu Wenyuan handed him the letter and said, "It was Master Miao who asked you to worship me as a teacher, and he was afraid of delaying your practice." See for yourself. ”

He Chong took the letter and looked at it, it was true, Master Miao said in the letter about He Chong's situation in the Liuyun Sword Sect, and put forward two requirements to Liu Wenyuan, one was to let He Chong hide in Qingshigou and protect him, and when this gust of wind passed, he would send someone to find He Chong back. In addition, I hope that Liu Wenyuan can accept He Chong as an apprentice and learn the meteor sword technique.

Since it was the meaning of the master, He Chong hesitated, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Wenyuan, which can be regarded as Liu Wenyuan's apprentice. He saluted Qiu Tong and recognized Qiu Tong as his senior brother. Qiu Tong didn't do it, he said that their sect was thin, and they didn't need so many courtesies, so just let He Chong serve Liu Wenyuan with him.

Liu Wenyuan thought about what to do next, after all, the disciples of the Liuyun Sword Sect were still guarding the various intersections outside the house, and they didn't want to alarm them. Qiu Tong understood Liu Wenyuan's thoughts, Liu Wenyuan looked at him, and he went out.

The next morning, Qiu Tong came back, and he said to Liu Wenyuan and He Chong: "Everyone is almost gone, but there are still a few who are unwilling to go, for fear that He Chong will leave the village." However, they are all in the west, let's go to the northeast, it will not be affected. ”

Liu Wenyuan asked him, "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'll let them all go west anyway. Now there is no one to guard the east, south, or north. Let's go. ”

He Chong would never tell his master not to let him care about such things. However, Liu Wenyuan was not unhappy. Just told Qiu Tong to investigate again before leaving, and don't get out of the basket.

In the evening of the next day, while the sky was gradually darkening, the three of them quietly left the village and were taken to the northeast bluestone ditch. On the road, the three of them only take small roads, not big roads, and try to avoid going to crowded places. Smoothly return to Qingshigou.

When they arrived near Qingshigou, Qiu Tong went first to inquire about the news, and came back to tell them that not only the people of the Liuyun Sword Sect were here, but also many characters from other factions had arrived, and they dressed up in various ways to hide people's eyes and ears, but Qiu Tong could see at a glance that they were all practicing martial arts. Liu Wenyuan said in his heart, yes, say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, and then he can't even go home. He Chong and Qiu Tong were also worried. Liu Wenyuan told them that the village of Qingshigou was named after a ditch in the nearby mountains, and that Liu Wenyuan's family used to have a place to live in Qingshigou, but it had been abandoned for a long time. They don't want Jincun now, bypass here, go straight to Liu Wenyuan's old house in Qingshigou, and hide there. He Chong and Qiu Tong followed Liu Wenyuan and quietly went there.
