Chapter XVII. Prelude
"Last night, there were people in the mountains who broke into battle, but unfortunately they were suspected of encountering the secret interference of the mountain masters, and finally had no choice but to return. ”
Private rooms of the inn.
Gu Xiqiao slowly informed the two female companions of the news he had gotten.
"Just obstruction?"
Miss Zhao sat down in her seat and said thoughtfully.
"Yes. Gu Xiqiao took a sip of tea. According to their descriptions, they did not see any trace of the master from beginning to end. ”
In this way, the master did not want to add to the trouble. Miss Zhao said in a calm tone. Otherwise, it is impossible for the other party to let them go easily. ”
"And they also proved two things with this adventure. Gu Xiqiao bowed slightly. "First, there is indeed a master in Qingping Mountain, and second, this master does not show obvious hostility. ”
"Does that mean anything?"
The girl Huang on the side was a little puzzled by the singing and harmony of the two.
"Because people like to inch in. Miss Zhao said succinctly.
What Ms. Zhao means is that once people show an attitude of compromise and retreat, they will often be tempted by others to intensify. Gu Xiqiao explained carefully.
"I seem to understand a little. Miss Huang said suddenly.
"Someone can't wait. Miss Zhao said bluntly.
What Miss Zhao said was very true. Gu Xiqiao said calmly. "Because no one wants to put it off any longer, everyone knows the truth that late will change. ”
Now those who remain in Qingping and do not bear to say anything are either old rivers and lakes with ulterior motives, or cautious people who are waiting and watching the situation.
No one wants to be a rafter for the first time, and no one wants to make a wedding dress for others.
When everyone wanted to be the yellow finch behind them, the result inevitably led to a seemingly calm situation.
Until last night.
Finally someone couldn't help it.
And the gains brought by the other party undoubtedly stimulated everyone.
It was like a clear signal that the opportunity they had been waiting for had come.
Therefore, Gu Xiqiao judged that within three days, the entire Qingping Mountain would be completely turbulent.
And Gu Xiqiao is naturally not the only one who has similar ideas.
Xie Linyuan, who was in the Blessing Inn, was also aware of the situation that was about to come in the storm, but he remained calm as always, and had a calm atmosphere in every major event, which was the teaching he had received since he was a child, even if his heart was surging, at least on the surface, he had to pretend to be indifferent.
Xie Linyuan's hand was steady, like his hand holding a sword.
But when the teacup on the table was lifted, the water in the teacup shook a few ripples.
His hands trembled.
Because he was about to lose the excitement in his heart.
But no one knows what he's excited about.
"Guo Lao, please go this way. ”
At this time, Xie Linyuan suddenly noticed that two extraordinary figures appeared in the lobby downstairs.
A burly black-faced man with a tiger's back was respectfully leading an old man with fairy wind and bones to sit at the empty table in the corner of the lobby.
"Qingping is really lively this time. ”
As soon as the old man sat down, he sighed softly.
"But isn't it, now Qingping has gathered a large number of people from extraordinary backgrounds, and the local county magistrates are all worried about sleeping and eating for this tea and dinner, and even the urgent documents have been sent to the house. ”
The black-faced man took the initiative to take the tea from the shopkeeper, whispered a few words, and then served the old man with tea.
"I've heard about the screen clearing for a long time, but I didn't expect it to happen. The old man took a sip of tea and said with an intriguing smile on his face. "It seems that the master in the mountain has caused them a lot of trouble. ”
"Hehe, before leaving, the little boy also specially instructed us that if that master encounters a tricky matter, we must let us help. The black-faced man laughed. "If it weren't for the fact that the little boy's grounding has not ended, I'm afraid he will definitely sneak out of the house again this time. ”
"Little boy, alas, ......"
Speaking of the little boy, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"In any case, that master has a life-saving grace for the little boy, so let's wait and see what happens when the time comes, and wait for the opportunity to act. ”
"What Guo Lao said is very true. ”
Elegant seats on the second floor.
Xie Linyuan, who had carefully overheard the conversation between the two, turned pale, and from their conversation, he could know that they actually knew the masters in Qingping Mountain! What was going on?
Although there were many questions in his heart, Xie Linyuan had no intention of stepping forward to talk.
But he remembered the two of them deeply.
......
"Shi Xiaofei, what are you doing?"
It's time for the daily challenge again, and Xia Fan appeared in the circle in front of Shi Xiaofei's house on time.
But when he saw Shi Xiaofei wrapping his face in layers of linen cloth and standing next to a closed water tank with a melon scoop in his hand, the whole person had a question mark on his face.
"Do you want to play CS or PUBG in this costume?"
"Senior, we said it yesterday! You're going to let me have my legs and hands!"
Shi Xiaofei, whose face was wrapped in layers of linen cloth and only showed his eyes, and looked like a mummy, didn't pay attention to Xia Fan's words at all, and shouted directly at him.
"What's the matter, you're still worried that I'm fooling you!" Xia Fan said with an unhappy face. "Wait a minute, if I move my hands and legs, you'll win!"
"Okay! senior, let's get ready to see the move!"
Shi Xiaofei said seriously.
"Hurry up, my time is very valuable!" Xia Fan said impatiently.
As soon as the words fell, Xia Fan saw Shi Xiaofei lift the mud seal of the water tank next to him between the electric light and flint, pick up the melon scoop in his hand and scoop it in, and sprinkle it on Xia Fan.
"it!"
When Xia Fan saw Shi Xiaofei scooping out the spilled things from the water tank, he instantly jumped back more than ten meters away like a frightened rabbit.
"Shi Xiaofei, why do you dare to play?"
Yes, what Shi Xiaofei scooped out of the water tank was the manure used by the local villagers to irrigate the vegetable fields of the farmland!
"Senior, I won!"
Who knew that Shi Xiaofei put on a triumphant appearance, not caring at all about Xia Fan's vulgar words.
"Okay, okay, you won, I have to say, you kid is really a talent. ”
Xia Fan looked at Shi Xiaofei who was holding a melon scoop from afar, and said with a gloomy expression.
"Why don't you clean up my things for me, and play and have a sense of accomplishment?"
"Yes, yes, yes! The juniors immediately did it!"
Shi Xiaofei didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and hurriedly resealed the water tank filled with fecal water, and by the way, he threw away the melon scoop in his hand.
After the pungent smell of ammonia in the air dissipated, Xia Fan covered his nose and walked up slowly.
He looked at Shi Xiaofei, who still hadn't untied the layers of linen on his face, and said in his heart that this guy must have been premeditated for a long time.
"Seniors! Juniors have won!"
Shi Xiaofei faced Xia Fan, who didn't dare to get too close to him, and solemnly arched his hand.
"So, it's time for the juniors to leave. ”
"When are you going to leave?"
Xia Fan was silent for a moment and said.
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the juniors plan to pack up and leave later. ”
Shi Xiaofei still maintained a bent posture and said respectfully.
"Now that you've decided, I can't interfere with it anymore. ”
Xia Fan shook his head and said.
"Pack your things and go, and I'll get you out of here in a moment. ”
