Following the waterway pointed out by Luo Yi the day before, he returned to Wuyan Island, when it was already dark, Ye Suiyun hid the boat in the rocks, and slowly dived in from memory, thinking on the way: "I only went to the prisoner's cell last night, but if I am looking for Xi'er, what is the use of going to the cell?" Thinking about the scene at that time, looking at Xi'er's dress and demeanor, she didn't look like a person who had suffered. She said that she was sent by the eldest lady, and later generations Shi said that the eldest lady may be Qian Zonglong's wife, that is, Li Bao'er's apprentice Du Jixin, could it be that Xi'er is her girl? Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun was surprised, and thought that this was probably the most reasonable explanation.

At this time, I saw that the light of the fire in the distance was gradually brightening, and I thought that the fire was lit in the village. Ye Suiyun observed for a moment and walked towards the place where the light was most prosperous. Just after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of oncoming footsteps, he quickly dodged and hid behind a tree beside him, listened carefully, and couldn't help frowning and thinking: "Why are these footsteps so erratic, left and right, heavy and light, sometimes one foot on the ground twice, sometimes it is an arc." The martial arts of the people who came must be extremely strange. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, although I wasn't afraid that I wouldn't be able to beat it, but if I started it, it would definitely alarm others, and it would be bad at that time. The footsteps were getting closer, but I saw a thief humming a small tune, walking upside down, pulling out a puff of wine from the wind, and after two more steps, the man's feet were weak, and he fell to the side of the road, and his snoring sounded, and he fell asleep.

Seeing this, Ye Suiyun smiled dumbly, it turned out to be a drunken soldier, no wonder his footsteps were vague and weird, just because he has been imprisoned in recent years, and it is rare to see drunk people, plus at this moment, the heart is about to fight, I don't know how many people on this island who are strong in martial arts have made such jokes. Fortunately, there is no one else here, which is a great blessing.

Looking at the drunk man in front of him, Ye Suiyun's heart moved, he stepped forward and took off the man's shirt, put it on his body, and untied his knife and hung it on his waist, and walked towards the light. On the way, he met a patrol person dressed in the same uniform, Ye Suiyun nodded, and sure enough, no one noticed, and he was proud: "The fire is not bright enough, it is really mixed." Suddenly, a person behind him shouted: "He Daozi, I told you that there will be a tough battle tomorrow, and you are not allowed to pour yellow soup tonight, you kid dare to resist the order, this is full of wine and thinks Lao Tzu can't smell it?" He walked over with that. Ye Suiyun didn't dare to turn around, and said vaguely: "I know, I don't dare, I don't dare." Wanting to slip away, who knew that the man had already stepped forward and grabbed Ye Suiyun's shoulder and shouted, "Why are you sneaky?" When he saw it clearly by the light of the fire, the man exclaimed, "You, you, aren't you a sword?" ”

Ye Suiyun pointed out that it was like the wind, connected his three acupoints, and said with a smile: "He Daozi has already drunk it." Looking left and right, fortunately there was no one nearby, and dragged this person into the grass that was not bright and hidden, worrying in his heart: "Although this person is restrained by himself, if he continues to walk inside, what if he encounters someone who knows what knife he has, he can't knock people down every time without being discovered, right?" Just as he was thinking about it, the wind sounded in his ears, Ye Suiyun reacted very quickly, and reached out to grab the wrist of the visitor. The man was pained and said, "You cowherd baby, let go quickly." "It turned out to be Dai Shi.

Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly let go: "Who did I say?" The steps were so fast and light that I barely noticed them behind my back. "Just now, friends and enemies were unknown, and I was a little more powerful with my cloud-piercing hand, and I was uneasy in my heart, so I hurriedly said some words of praise, so as not to be counted again.

Sure enough, Dai Shi rubbed his wrist and said, "You herding cow baby, relying on your strong martial arts, will you bully me, very proud, right?" ”

Ye Suiyun hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Why didn't you leave with us yesterday?" I'm worried about you. ”

Hearing Ye Suiyun's concern, Dai Shi was used in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled: "There's nothing to worry about." I saw something interesting, so I stayed. You come with me. With a wave of his hand, he dived into the darkness again, and Ye Suiyun also followed.

The two came to a place after a while, Ye Suiyun took a closer look, and there were rows of houses in front of him, although each layout was small, but the doors and windows were chic and clean, and at a glance, he knew that it was not where the man lived. At this time, it was pitch black here, there was no spark, and the people who wanted to stay here had not yet returned.

Ye Suiyun was full of doubts and asked, "What kind of place is this?" What are you bringing me here for? ”

Dai Shi said: "Don't ask so much, just wait for a while." ”

Ye Suiyun was worried, and said anxiously: "I'm going to find someone now, if it's too late, it's too late." ”

Dai Shiqi said: "Why is it too late?" ”

Ye Suiyun then remembered that Dai Shi was here, and he didn't know about the preparation to attack Saltless Island, so he hurriedly told him about tonight's plan, and said, "I'm going to find a girl now, otherwise when the two sides fight, it will be even more difficult to find the sword and sword shadow in the dark night." ”

Dai Shi listened to the taste, and said stupidly: "Which girl is so important that you are in such a hurry?" ”

Ye Suiyun didn't understand Dai Shi's subtle thoughts, he was stunned when he heard the words, he didn't know why she was sarcastic, so he had to tell the cause and effect of how to know Yang Laosan, and finally said: "Father Yang looked at me pitiful that day, and he didn't dislike taking me in, he was really a good person, he was lonely, only Xi'er was such a relative, do you think I can not help him?" ”

Dai Shi's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked, "You said his granddaughter's name is Xi'er?" Ye Suiyun nodded, and the corners of Dai Shi's mouth turned up: "It's not busy to find her, wait here, there will be fun in a while, and I'll look for it after reading it." ”

Seeing that Dai Shi was full of interest, Ye Suiyun couldn't bear to resent, so she had to sit down again, quite dissatisfied in her heart, and sat next to her silently. Dai Shi looked back and said with a smile: "Yo, is Ye Daxia angry?" ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Dai Shi, things are important, no matter what interesting things are, it is not as important as saving Xi'er, I am going to find someone now, you can stay here by yourself." He stood up and left.

Dai Shi said: "If you leave now, you will definitely regret it." If you listen to me and stay here, I promise to help you find Xi'er, or I will pay for my sins with death. Ye Suiyun saw that she was resolute, and he was skeptical, and sat back again, he really didn't know what was so important, so he had to wait here. Seeing that he was no longer leaving, Dai Shi smiled and said: "Herding cow baby, when you eliminate the saltless island water thieves who dominate the side this time, it will be another merit, and your name will be even louder in the future." ”

Ye Suiyun shook his head and said, "What's the use of me." If it weren't for the wisdom and calmness of the Ye Fang owner, and he happened to meet Sikong's seniors again, no matter how willing I was to help, I couldn't do anything. ”

Dai Shiqiao smiled: "You don't need to be too modest, I think there are really a lot of masters in this thief's den, and I'm afraid I will still have to make a move from you when the time comes." ”

Ye Suiyun looked at the vast night, seemed to be thoughtful, was silent for a while, and said: "The enemy's martial arts are not terrible, as long as you come with a real sword and a real gun, even if you can't be killed or killed, for the sake of justice and justice, I will not regret it." It's terrible to be afraid that you can't see the enemy at all, you don't know who they are, how they will harm you, and you know that they will definitely deal with you, and that kind of invisible threat is the most palpitating. ”

Dai Shi frowned and asked, "What can't you see the enemy, what do you say again?" ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Do you know, I have been faintly worried about a person in my heart, starting from the Fengxiang Gambling House in Tiandu Town, to the murder case of the Yangzhou Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, as far as I know, there is a very mysterious figure among them, this person wears a covered straw hat, does not show his true face, and has a hoarse voice, known as 'Mr. Shadow'." This time, the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce blamed me, and it was this person who operated it all. ”

Dai Shi was puzzled and said, "Is there such a thing?" Seeing Ye Suiyun nodding worriedly, he immediately comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, even if you know that this person is an enemy, just be vigilant in the future, and walk the rivers and lakes in the future, your enemies are afraid that they are indispensable, so why worry about coming over?" Ye Suiyun nodded and didn't say more, but he always couldn't wave the shadow of his head. At this moment, Dai Shi lowered his body, made a silent gesture and said softly: "It's here." ”

I don't know who came, Ye Suiyun hurriedly bowed down. Sure enough, a figure walked quickly, looking at its small figure, like a child. The man walked to a room, pushed the door open, and came out again in a few moments, with an extra bag in his hand. At this time, the person was facing the door, his face was clearly illuminated by the moonlight, Ye Suiyun was startled, and almost shouted, fortunately Dai Shi's hand quickly covered his mouth, seeing that the person left in the opposite direction, Ye Suiyun took Dai Shi's hand and said, "Is it Xi'er?" "It turned out to be Xi'er, who had a relationship with him in the wooden prison yesterday.

Dai Shi said with a smile: "I just said it, if you dare to go, you will regret it, now believe it." ”

Ye Suiyun nodded ashamedly, just now he blamed Dai Shi for not being serious, but it turned out that he was confused. It turned out that she had already made a bamboo in her chest, no wonder she dared to swear ruthlessly.

Dai Shi got up and said, "Let's go over and have a look." "Chase in the direction where Xi'er left. Ye Suiyun hurriedly followed, and asked as he went, "How do you know that the person I'm looking for will come here?" Prepare in advance and wait here. ”

Dai Shibai glanced at him and said, "You think this girl is a fairy, and she can predict the prophet." Just now you said that the person you are looking for is called Xi'er, and I just reacted. Just because the day before yesterday, I heard the eldest lady call her the same. Coincidentally, it's the same person as you. And I stayed yesterday for her. ”

Ye Suiyun became curious and hurriedly asked the reason. Dai Shi said: "Sneaking into the hall last night and eavesdropping on those people is what I told you in prison. Ye Suiyun nodded, knowing that thanks to Dai Shi, he learned about the conspiracy of Yang Guozhong and others, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Dai Shi continued: "At that time, I found an interesting thing, when this little girl brought water, wine and snacks to the hall, she always secretly took a few pieces of pastry, or mixed the wine on the plate in the wine jug she prepared. I just wondered if such a little girl was also addicted to alcohol? Later, when she saw that she had wrapped up all the food and wine and hid them in her residence, she knew that these were not for herself, but for someone. I became curious, and I wanted to see who she was going to give it to. Therefore I did not leave with you. ”

Ye Suiyun looked at Dai Shi strangely and asked, "That's why you stayed?" Seeing that Dai Shi nodded, he sighed and said, "I really don't understand you, you are willing to stay in danger for this senseless thing." Maybe she's just giving it to a friend here, so why risk it. I couldn't help but shake my head again and again.

Ye Suiyun naturally didn't understand, this was a certain human characteristic. There are differences between men and women, and their attitudes towards things are also different, and in what men think is very boring, women are often willing to get to the bottom of it, figure it out before stopping, and then tell each other about it. Or, women will be more curious than men, for example, if someone says that a certain woman is good-looking, then the woman who hears it will want to see her face in person, and secretly compare it with herself. But if it's a man, he doesn't really care. Dai Shi is curiosity has been aroused, and he must see what is going on, but Ye Suiyun is difficult to understand.

Dai Shi asked, "Who do you say she wants to give food and wine to?" Could it be the person she wants? He covered his mouth and snickered.

Ye Suiyun felt that Dai Shi was really a good person, and replied: "Xi'er is still young, there shouldn't be such a thing." ”

Dai Shi pursed his lips, cut off, and said no more. After following for a while, Xi'er stopped in front of a courtyard, looking at the surrounding environment, it looked like a kitchen for cooking. I saw Xi'er looking around, and shouted softly: "Sister Chunmei, are you there?" I've brought something. ”

A woman next to the firewood stack answered, trotted over, grabbed Xi'er and whispered, "Sister Xi'er, thank you for this." "I couldn't tell her age in the night, and I heard the voice look like she was twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Seeing this, Dai Shi, who was hiding behind, muttered in a low voice: "It turned out to be a woman." "Obviously a little disappointed. Ye Suiyun felt funny and said, "You can show up now." Dai Shi grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, listen to what they say?" Ye Suiyun was helpless, and thought that Xi'er had already been found anyway, so he was not in a hurry, so he had to bend down again.

I heard Xi'er say: "What's polite, Sister Chunmei, today is your birthday, I specially picked out some delicious food to bring to you." Ye, the two of them suddenly turned out to celebrate the birthday of this **eyebrow woman. I don't know who she is, so pitiful, that she even has to steal food like this.

Xi'er and the others didn't dare to light the lamp, so they cleaned a small table on the ground, and the two of them talked and laughed while putting wine and food, which was very warm. The corners of Chunmei's eyes glistened with tears: "Although the cattle and horses that have been here are not as good, fortunately, there is such a good sister as you." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cry.

Xi'er hurriedly comforted: "Sister Chunmei, today is your birthday, don't think about being unhappy, make a wish before eating." As he spoke, he filled the wine glass in front of Chun Mei.

Chun Mei wiped away her tears when she heard this, raised her glass to the moon, and said half-paid: "Guanyin has a spirit, bless my poor sister with peace and happiness, no disaster and no disease." Be able to marry a good family. After speaking, he raised his neck and drained the wine in the cup. took a long breath and smiled at Xi'er: "Her name is Xiumei, she is about the same age as you, and she should be sixteen years old now." It's just that I haven't seen her for ten years, and I don't know if she's okay. Tears have flowed again.

Xi'er comforted repeatedly: "If the two of us meet, we will definitely become good friends." Rest assured, your sister will see you again. Chun Mei was very happy, and poured wine until the glass was full. Ye Suiyun on the side frowned and kept muttering: "Xiumei, Xiumei, this name is so familiar." ”

Chun Mei picked up the cup again, raised it to the night sky, and said: "Bodhisattva, the little girl is greedy, and there is another wish, please bless him... He.. He was also safe and happy, and lived a long life. ”

Xi'er on the side said happily: "Sister Chunmei, what you said is that he is your sweetheart, right?" Chun Mei didn't deny it, and nodded a little shyly. Xi'er said, "Where is that man now?" Must have been born very handsome and chic, right? "Eat and laugh.

Chun Mei smiled and said: "You are wrong, he is not good-looking at all, I don't know where he is, I don't even know who his surname is." ”

Xi'er sighed and said, "This is strange, you don't even know what a person's name is, how did you like him?" This is exactly what the two people who eavesdropped on him wanted to ask.

Chun Mei smiled again and said, "That was ten years ago, and my family lived in Jiangjin Village, Luodao... Ye Suiyun suddenly remembered that there was a Jiangjin Village where he fled with Gu Lingling many years ago, and when he saw a little girl with corpse poison in her body, wasn't she called Xiumei? At that time, Liu Hu, a hunter in the village, once said that Xiumei's only sister was robbed by robbers on Saltless Island. Recalling this, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but blurt out: "Jiangjin Village? You are Xiumei's sister Chunmei. ”
