Chapter 281: Parting
In the main hall of Qingcheng Mountain, Su Yu scratched his head tangledly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In front of her was a knee-high table, on which was placed paper, inkstone, pen and ink, a book of Taoism had been spread out halfway, the pages were circled one after another, and in many places there were some small characters, and the crooked dotted lines under the font.
At this time, she was holding a slender brush, slightly dipped in ink, and was carefully writing on the straw paper.
However, perhaps she was not satisfied with what she had said, or perhaps some sentences needed to be polished, and after writing a piece of straw paper, before the ink on it had dried up, she crumpled it up and remained in the bamboo basket beside the small table.
Of course, her attitude of striving for perfection is not due to being too diligent, but mainly because this homework is very important, and the mother-in-law who lives in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain will study the scriptures and meanings she has recently mastered at noon tomorrow, so as to control the progress of her latest stage of Taoism.
For that mother-in-law, she was more or less afraid, in addition to the gap in Taoism, mainly in the mother-in-law, Su Yu felt a great pressure, like an ignorant child, facing the teacher in the private school as worried.
After coming to Qingcheng Mountain for such a long time, she has never left the mountain for a single step, because she is far away from the world, the news from the outside cannot come in at all, so except for Xiaolian and Xiu'er, who often run around, the only one who has the most contact with her is the mother-in-law.
She doesn't know what the relationship between this mother-in-law and the killing of Shengren is, and she doesn't know what the origin of this mother-in-law is, but with that guy's temperament, she can arrange her to this place, and she must trust this mother-in-law very much.
This reason is very important, because there are not many people who are worthy of his trust, and since he trusts this person, Su Yu has no choice but to believe her.
In fact, although Su Yu's temperament is a little jumpy, she is not a reckless person, that guy got her here, obviously there is a reason to do so, so from the current situation, if she imagines that she was at ease before, she must refine the Dao and study the scriptures, and only when she reaches a certain level can she leave this place.
Therefore, these most basic scriptures, even if they are complicated, she has to pinch her nose to learn, as for when she can meet her mother-in-law's requirements, to be honest, she has not had an accurate positioning until now.
In this way, she sat in the main hall and thought about a certain discourse, and it was not until about three o'clock that Xiaolian and Xiu'er came to the door of the hall.
They are here to deliver food to Su Yu, since they have been carefully adjusted and taught by their mother-in-law for a period of time, they have lived in the main hall on the mountain, and if they want to adjust their boring taste buds, they can only rely on Xiaolian's cooking skills to play at a super level, so the two agreed that every once in a while, Xiaolian will try to make some food and bring it to the main hall from the foot of the mountain, anyway, Xiu'er has been following her, and Su Yu is not worried about Xiaolian's safety.
What's more, there are no creatures on this Qingcheng Mountain that can cause too much harm to Xiaolian.
Glancing at the inner hall quickly, there was no trace of her mother-in-law's plan to come out, Su Yu beckoned and motioned for Xiaolian to come in quickly.
Standing up from behind the short table, Su Yu helped Xiaolian unload the back basket behind her, and then skillfully opened the mezzanine of the back basket and took out a package of warm food from the food box.
This is food wrapped in lotus leaves, the outside is tied with thatch, after opening, the fragrance is fragrant, with the faint fragrance of lotus leaves, and the meat fragrance that is not greasy, permeating the entire hall.
Intoxicated, he sniffled, Su Yu looked at the pale yellow chicken in his hand, and couldn't help but swallow slightly.
However, she didn't eat it in a hurry, but tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Xiu'er, who was a little absent-minded behind Xiaolian.."How is it, sister, right?"
She squeezed her eyebrows and said, Na Xiu'er was slightly stunned, but reached out and took it...... Thank you, sister. β
"My own sister, what's polite. Patted her chest boldly, she held the flower chicken with both hands, and took a bite hard, the chicken was crispy and fat, the lips and teeth were fragrant, and the mouth of the fish was full of oil, looking hungry, until the whole flower chicken was eaten nearly half, she suddenly found that Xiu'er was in a daze at the chicken leg.
Swallowing some strange minced meat in his mouth, Su Yu smiled and asked a little vaguely, "Why don't you eat it?"
"Where is it?" Listening to Su Yu's teasing words, Xiaolian pursed her mouth slightly, and glanced at the one called Huaji.."Originally, I made two, but the other one had become charred because the heat was too big." β
"Uh...... So, you two, haven't you eaten?" asked Su Yu with a wink.
When she saw Xiaolian's pitiful appearance, she shook her head and smiled, and then tore half of it off the chicken. β
"I knew that Miss felt the most sorry for Xiaolian. Swallowing slightly, Xiaolian reached out to take it, but just when she wanted to stuff it into her mouth, Su Yu bumped her slightly with her shoulder...... What's wrong, Miss?"
"Na ......" Su Yu motioned to Xiaolian to turn around and look at Xiu'er's appearance at this time, and then lowered her voice slightly and asked...
"Maybe I hurt my hand, so I'm a little unhappy. Xiaolian blinked slightly and said.
"Hurt your hand?" At this time, Su Yu saw that one of Xiu'er's hands was wrapped in a piece of gauze, and a beautiful bow was tied on it, which was obviously Xiaolian's handwriting.
"How did you get it?" reached out and poked Xiaolian, and Su Yu pulled her aside.
Xiaolian opened her mouth and explained a few words: "It should be scratched by the thorns on the mountain, but fortunately, the wound is not deep, and there should be no big problem......"
"If it's all right, how did she get to be the way she is? I remember the last time she came, it wasn't like this. Su Yu blinked and studied, looking at Xiu'er in a daze and frowning.
On the contrary, Xiaolian, who heard her say this, was suddenly stunned for a moment, then raised her head thoughtfully, and said in a smug voice: "Miss, you said Xiu'er, do you miss her relatives......
"Uh......" Hearing Xiaolian say this, it seems to make some sense, after all, after leaving Sanjiangyuan, Xiaolian has never returned to her hometown, and has been staying on Qingcheng Mountain recently, obviously suffocated by this boring environment.
"Or, will you take Xiu'er out for a walk tomorrow?" After thinking for a moment, Su Yu said, "I remember Xiu'er said that there is a small town more than 600 miles south of the foot of the mountain, you and Xiu'er go shopping together, and at the speed of the two of you, you can come back on the same day." β
"Okay, I'll ask her in a moment. β
The two of them muttered for a while, and then began to pack up some things, because after a while, the mother-in-law should come out.
Sending Xiaolian and Xiu'er outside the hall, Su Yu gave a few words of advice, and watched the two gradually leave.
She always thought that Xiu'er was just a child's temper, maybe if she went out for a walk, this mood would become much better.
Thinking like this, she shook her head and returned to the main hall to continue reviewing the scriptures, until the next morning, when she squinted a little for a while.
However, the diligent practice during this period finally played a major role, and when the school was examined at noon, although the mother-in-law was not completely satisfied, at least it passed some expectations.
Su Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and after the examination was over, he immediately returned to the room and fell asleep.
After all, after studying Jingyi day and night, her whole brain was almost like mush, so not long after lying in bed, she fell asleep in a drowsy state.
I don't know how long later, she felt someone shaking herself vigorously, and opened her eyes in a daze, the room was already dark, and she could vaguely see a thin figure standing on the edge of the bed.
"Miss, wake upβ"
Yawned slightly, Su Yu still didn't realize the point of the matter......... It's dark......" Lying on the bed and turning over, letting himself lie on the futon, looking at Xiaolian with a slanted face...
"Miss, wake up quickly......" Xiaolian shook her desperately, but it was extremely difficult to wake up someone who had not yet woken up.
"Wake up, Miss...... Xiu'er, Xiu'er are gone......" Xiaolian said breathlessly, Na Suyu opened her eyes and looked at her a little confused.."Who is missing?"
"Xiu'er, it's Xiu'erβ"
The words that almost roared out suddenly made Su Yu slightly excited, turned over and sat up from the bed, she wiped her face vigorously, and then shook her head violently.."Tell me, what's going on?"
"Uh...... It's like this......"
Xiaolian twisted her hands together and quickly told what had happened.
It turned out that during the day, Xiaolian took Xiu'er to the town more than 600 miles away according to Su Yu's instructions yesterday, and then before sunset, the two of them rushed back and went to bed early.
However, not long ago, when Xiaolian got up at night, she suddenly found that the bed next door was empty, she shouted a few words, but no one responded to her, until she lit the candle in the room, and found a note on the table.
"Bring the note, show it to me!" Su Yu sat down and frowned, the sleepiness had already dissipated and was gone, and Xiaolian hurriedly took out the crumpled note from her arms and stretched out her hand to Su Yu.
Su Yu took it in her hand and looked at it, the crooked font was really a little difficult to see, and there were some weird symbols mixed with many places, as if ghost drawings, but during the previous time, she finally taught Xiu'er some words, because she could more or less guess what she wrote.
This is probably a letter, the letter said that she was going to leave here temporarily because of some things, and asked Su Yu and Xiaolian not to worry about Yunyun.
Because of the font and symbols, there are only more than 100 words in total, and there is not much information left, so the two of them can't figure out why she is leaving, but one thing has been confirmed, that is, Xiu'er did not encounter an accident, but left a letterhead, and then ran away from home.
"This little girl ......" sighed slightly, Su Yu patted his head with a headache, and sat there thinking about things.
Xiaolian looked at her anxiously, with tears in her eyes.."Miss, how is Xiu'er, Xiu'er......"
"She ran away from home. β
"Uh...... Running away from home?" Xiaolian was slightly stunned, and the tears that were about to stay were stopped, Su Yu looked up at her, and asked with a slightly serious expression...... No, have you noticed anything unusual about Xiu'er in recent times?"
"Abnormal situation?" With a slight blink, Xiaolian stood there thinking for a while.." She seemed to be in a daze often, and sometimes, she muttered some gibberish things in her mouth, those words...... I haven't heard it clearly. β
"Then when did she start in a daze, do you still have an impression of this?" Su Yu continued to ask.
"It's like, it seems to be ......" Scratching her head slightly, Xiaolian suddenly remembered something.."By the way, from the time I went up the mountain yesterday, it seems that the back of Xiu'er's hand was scratched, and then she looked a little strange. β
Hearing her say this, Su Yu was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, she thought that Xiu'er was just a child's temper, but she never thought that she actually had something hidden in her heart.
"By the way, Miss, I think of something when you say this, when the back of Xiu'er's hand was cut, she kept saying that she didn't make it, and I thought she was joking, so I teased her twice. Xiaolian pouted.
"Didn't she get it?" Su Yu blinked slightly, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help biting his lip.."We probably forgot, Xiu'er is a demon, a demon with five hundred years of Taoism, how could the back of his hand be cut by some thorns?"
Hearing her say this, the little lotus also came back to her taste slightly.
All along, the two of them have treated Xiu'er as a little sister, but they forgot the most obvious thing, she is a demon herself, and she is even a few points higher than the two of them in terms of Taoism, ordinary swords may not be able to hurt her, not to mention that she is a tree demon, she is a natural essence of plants and trees, and it is too late for those thorns to get close to her, how can she have the courage to hurt her?
"Miss, what's going on with that Xiu'er's injury?" Xiaolian asked slightly, but Su Yu shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know very well.
She stood up slightly and tidied up her scattered clothes.."The top priority is to find a way to get her back, she is a little tree spirit who doesn't understand the world, and when she goes out, she is likely to meet some guys who "do the right thing for heaven" and fall into some uncontrollable dangerous situations. β
That Xiaolian was frightened, and her face swayed slightly.."Then what should we do?"
"This kind of thing, I can only go to my mother-in-law......" pursed her lips slightly, Su Yu sighed.."I hope my mother-in-law can find a way to find Xiu'er's traces......"
