Volume 1 Black and White Dream Chapter 18 The Snakes

"Eh, Qing'er, you're here, this is ......"

Su Qing just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Gu Ku.

Gu Kuchong bowed to the old woman and said, "The old man is from the capital, and he has come here to investigate the matter of the red moon, and please tell me in detail." ”

The old woman hesitated and looked at Su Qing, who nodded to her before agreeing.

Su Qing said: "Grandma, where did you go last night?" It scared the hell out of me. ”

The old woman smiled and said, "I'll go to the thief to ask for an explanation!" I entered the thief's house with a group of men and was almost beaten. But in the end I was saved by a knight who said that today he would be able to give me the money that the thief owes me. ”

Su Qing and Gu Ku glanced at each other, and Su Qing said again: "Grandma, then you walked under the red moon yesterday, why are you okay?" ”

The old woman shook her head, "It's strange to me, the knight drew a circle around us, and the burning debris walked around us." If you don't believe it, you can ask your Uncle Zhang, he also went last night. ”

Uncle Zhang is a tofu vendor, and Shu Qing originally liked to eat fried tofu with shallots made by his master.

The two thanked the old woman and comforted her a few more times before returning to the house.

Shu Qing said: "I always feel that this thing is strange. ”

Gu Ku was silent, picked up the cup and shook it, and said to Su Qing as if he had made up his mind: "Miss Shu, you scold the old man for taking advantage of the danger of others, or the heart of the villain, the old man has no time to take care of this matter, because for the old man, the matter in the capital is more urgent, but if it is ......"

"I promise."

Gu Ku was stunned for a moment, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered.

"I'll go with you, and I hope that on the way with you, you'll help me recall my dusty memories, and when that time comes...... I will decide which path I choose based on my own judgment, but before that I will assist you in finding the Spirit Sacred Sword and finding out what the reason for the destruction of the Yan family is. And also...... I want to learn swordsmanship. ”

Gu Ku's eyes widened and cloudy, the muscles on his face trembled, and he said for a long time: "Old man...... I will give you all the work of my life. ”

Shu Qing looked into his eyes and said, "You ......, when I finish my studies, I will definitely protect you." ”

Gu Ku smiled, and drank water again and again to cover the redness of his eyes.

When Shu Qing thought of his first master, he suddenly felt sad in his heart, suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "Ancient, what was your original plan?" ”

Gu Ku said: "Don't worry, I'll take you to the capital in the future, and let my subordinates know you." ”

Shu Qing was surprised: "Subordinate? Are they all General Yan's former subordinates? ”

Gu Ku nodded and said, "Some are, some are not." You see, your father's reputation was revered before he was branded a traitor, and he was a man of great talent and talent. ”

Su Qing took a deep breath and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Su Qing got up to open it, and saw that the person who came was an old woman.

The old woman's face was full of joy, "Miss Qing'er, you see, that chivalrous man is really a benevolent and righteous person, and he just returned the money that the Wang family owed my son back then." ”

Su Qing was puzzled, and Gu Ku asked, "Can you see the true face of that chivalrous man?" ”

The old woman said, "No." The knight left the money at my door and left, and I didn't see a shadow, and I wanted to thank him. The last time I saw him at Wang's house, he was wearing a cloak covering his face, and he didn't see his face clearly. ”

After Shuqing sent the old woman away, she looked around suspiciously, and saw that no one had quickly closed the door.

Gu Ku walked around the small room with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "I don't believe that this is just a righteous person. ”

Su Qing's mind instantly recalled the black and white wolf, could it be that the red moon was deliberately caused by him, and then helped the people in this way to convince them? But what is his purpose, and what is the connection between the red moon and this matter?

Gu Ku decided to move from his own space to the courtyard of the Wang family's house to find out the news, while Shu Qing explored the residential area and observed whether there were any suspicious people after dark.

The two cleaned the house again, and the dead snake still appeared. Gu Ku looked at the dead snake's face with a solemn face, and probed it with his hand before he was a little relieved, this was not a spirit beast. He instructed Shu Qing to be careful in everything, the dead snake could not have come unexplained, and it was very likely to have something to do with the red moon or the knight.

After Gu Ku left, the sky was getting dark, and Su Qing held his breath and concentrated, poked a finger at the window paper, and quietly looked out the window.

The "red rain" fluttering in the dark night is still weird, as if it has dyed the world with hellfire. Shu Qing's eyes widened and he didn't see half a figure.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and Su Qing poked the hole in the window paper wider, but she still didn't see anything, and she wondered in her heart, what was going on, did she hear it wrong?

The sound came again, like something crawling on the ground. Su Qing suddenly reacted, no! The voice was behind me!

Shu Qing drew his sword and turned around, and slashed it neatly, directly cutting off the head of a snake.

Su Qing broke out in a cold sweat, and the hand holding the sword trembled, and the blow was purely an instinctive reaction.

The door of the house was opened at some point, and snakes kept coming in, spitting snake letters, and the sound of crawling made the scalp tingle. The burning debris outside the house drifted into the house with the wind, and Su Qing secretly screamed that it was not good to close the door as soon as possible.

Shu Qing smashed all the realgar wine, and the room was suddenly filled with a bitter and pungent smell.

The group of snakes stopped for a short time, but continued to crawl forward without fear, and rushed straight towards Shuqing. Shu Qing was forced into a corner and slashed several snakes close to him with his sword.

It's not a way to go on like this, this snake can't be killed! Su Qing glanced at the burning candle of the narrator, and had a plan.

She pulled the quilt off the bed, covered it with snakes, trampled a few to death, then threw the candles on the quilt, and jumped on the bed herself.

The quilt was ignited with a "whoosh", and the air was filled with the smell of burnt snake meat, and Su Qing couldn't help retching a few times.

The snakes in the back turned and headed towards the gate, and just when Suqing thought he had succeeded, the snakes began to bang on the door, leaving the gate even wider.

Su Qing was shocked, trapped in bed and in a dilemma, watching more and more debris drift into the house.

Shu Qing squatted on the bed, stared at the table opposite, and jumped up after taking a few breaths. Although I accidentally hit my head on the window edge, I managed to stand firm. Shu Qing poked the door back with a sword, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that a small house is also beneficial.

There was still the other half of the door, and Su Qing picked up his sword and slashed a few more snakes that climbed upward, his mind quickly calculated what to do, and looked around for tools.

Su Qing's eyes moved to his outer robe, quickly took it off, threw it at the snake at the gate, and then repeated the old trick. She lifted the teapot on the table and sprinkled water around her, numbly looking at the fire in front of her, but fortunately there were few things in the room, so it didn't catch fire.

Su Qing leaned at the window and looked out through the paper hole, she made such a big noise here, and no one even shouted. Just as Su Qing was concentrating on checking the source of the snake, it suddenly became dark in front of him.

Su Qing was stunned, something blocked her vision, she reacted randomly and screamed, her body fell backwards, she braked sharply again, and her hand was pressed back against the edge of the table to prevent herself from turning into the fire.

That's not a cover, it's an eye!

That eye looked at Su Qing's panicked appearance, and a hint of mockery flashed. Su Qing's back was full of sweat, and he asked loudly, "Who?!" ”

"It's the one you need to kneel down to meet." The man said with a smile.

Su Qing was stunned, and "bang" tore the window open, "Red light!" ”

The man outside the window looked happily at the green man with his cloak and only his underwear, and the flying flames were in harmony with his red clothes.

The snakes had dispersed at some point, and the red light swaggered in through the main entrance, and with a few fingers, all the fires in the house were extinguished.

Hong Guangyao frowned, looked at the dead snake in the house with disgust, and said to Shuqing: "Decaying ghost, clean up quickly." ”

Shu Qing didn't know what to say, and he swung his arms like an out-of-body machine, gathering the dead snake into a corner.

Red Guangyao leaned against the wall with his arms folded and looked around, "How did you live in this dilapidated house?" ”

Su Qingxin said, I didn't suppress your ancient building.

"Why do you always get seen by me every time you're embarrassed?"

Shu Qing silently retorted: Could it be because my luck will not be too good when you are here.

"Dumb?"

Su Qing held back a sentence for a long time: "Cangyijun, why are you here?"

Red Guangyao didn't answer, but asked, "What about the ancient head?" I know he's coming for you. ”

Shu Qing closed the door tightly, and he didn't know if anything would happen to so many fragments floating in, but after thinking about it, the red light was here, and there shouldn't be anything serious.

Su Qing wanted to find a chair, but then remembered that the chair had been removed by herself, so she had to make a pot of tea, hand it to Hong Guangyao, and sit cross-legged on the bed.

"Ancient, he's gone to investigate." Shu Qing briefly told the ins and outs.

After hearing this, Hong Guangyao sneered: "What does the old man think, teach you martial arts?" ”

It's not about that!

Hongguangyao thought for a moment, left a sentence of "stay honest", and turned to leave.

Su Qing didn't have time to stop it, and the red figure disappeared from sight.

At this time, it was past noon, and Su Qing was sleepy and tired, and he heard movement next door in a daze. She forced herself to walk to the window, and it was the sound of the old woman closing the door when she had just come home. And there are not only the old woman, but also Uncle Zhang opposite and Uncle Liu, who lives behind him and makes a living by pulling camels.

The three of them actually went home, and Uncle Liu still chatted with him at the door of Uncle Zhang's house, as if he was not afraid of the red flame fragment at all.

After Shuqing repaired the window, he lay back on the bed, because the quilt was burned, he could only hug himself tightly, and his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't stop worrying about his neighbors.

After the death of Shuqing's storyteller, these three were not affected by the so-called fateful remarks, and from time to time brought her some food and clothing, Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhang, two big men, were stupid and would not comfort people, and only turned over and over one sentence - "Your adoptive mother has tried her best to save you, you can't let her life go to waste." And although Sister-in-law Zhang scolded her for being a broom star, she would also quietly put a bowl of fried tofu with shallots in front of her door.

These people are almost all of her feelings for Yanjing City, and Su Qing doesn't want them to encounter accidents. They are poor people who are diligent and down-to-earth to do coolies or small businesses, and hope that fate will be better for them.

Su Qing tossed and turned on the bed, once again feeling powerless. During the day, she promised Gu Ku not to be hot-headed, but to think clearly when she entered the black wolf's dream, she didn't want to be at the mercy of others anymore, she could only rely on others to get out of the predicament, and she also wanted to protect the people she cared about.

Master and Sister are the scars and regrets that she cannot touch in her life. If only she had the strength of Red Radiance, Gu Ku, or Yun......
