Chapter 5: Qingchuan Qian Family
The two eldest brothers both sighed and shook their heads, "No one knows the reason, and everyone who knows is dead, and it will last for many years." ”
Mu Wanqing nodded, and divided the peeled melon seeds into two small piles and put them in the hands of the big brothers, "How is the Qingchuan Qian family?" ”
The two were silent, the chopsticks in their hands never stopped, and Mu Bangqing was not in a hurry, lying on the table with his arms folded, just staring at the two of them.
After being full of wine and food, the two of them were stared at by the female doll and turned crimson, so they had to tell the truth, "This Qian family has to recruit people from the house every half month, but the people who go in are like evaporating from the world, and no one has ever seen a second face." ”
"Their families aren't coming to make a fuss?"
"Hey, what's the fuss, not to mention that no one dares to offend this rich family, and the money given to the family at one time after this recruitment is enough for the whole family to sit on the mountain for two or three years." Afraid of being questioned further, Brother Orion hurriedly picked up the bamboo basket and said goodbye to the two after speaking.
Mu Bangqing asked the store to serve two vegetables and one meat again, and after pulling two large bowls of white rice, he swept the dishes on the table before going to pay the bill.
"You have a lot of money, and you don't blink your eyes when you pay the bills, are you making money behind my back?" Lu Junying's meal was one of the most sumptuous in the past three years.
The Canglan Sword Sect did not treat them harshly, but the meals were all prepared for the disciples who had not built the foundation of the valley, and those like him who were talented and built the foundation of the valley early did not eat a few meals.
"How can it, you see that my cultivation talent is not as good as yours, and the number of times I have gone down the mountain in the past few years is only a handful, and I can't make money if I want to, I have saved it by tightening my clothes and food."
Lu Junying didn't think much about it when she thought it made sense.
The Qian family's house is big enough, and it even spans many markets, even if it is from other places, you can see it at a glance.
The vermilion gate was open, and two rows of servants stood neatly on both sides of the gate, and the old butler at the door held his hands in his sleeves, pacing back and forth inside and outside the door, quite impatiently.
Lu Junying and Mu Bangqing were about to break in without fighting, but they were unexpectedly stopped by the old housekeeper and the little servant, "Young man, this money mansion is not something that anyone can break into, can there be a greeting post or a token?" ”
"Nope."
"Then please!" The old butler made a gesture of invitation to the door.
Lu Junying pretended to leave, and shouted loudly, "Senior sister, let's go back to the Sword Sect!" ”
Sword Sect!
The old butler stepped forward in three steps and two steps, stopped the two of them from going, bent down and arched his hand: "The two of you stay here, dare to ask if the two of you are sent by the immortals of the Canglan Sword Sect?" ”
Seeing the two nodding, the old housekeeper raised his hand and beckoned the little maid at the door to come in to report, and he told the two about the recent situation in the house while leading the way forward.
Regarding the things explained by the old housekeeper, Mu Bangqing and Lu Junying both reserved their opinions.
Walking through the stone road, through the bamboo forest, and then stepping on the stone bridge, you can see the hall, in the hall sits a graceful and luxurious old woman, the old woman saw people coming and raised her hand again and again, with the support of the personal maid, limped towards the two.
Mrs. Qian's face turned pale, and before she could get closer, she fell to her knees with a thud, "Ask the immortals for help." ”
Lu Junying helped Mrs. Qian up, "Hurry up, please get up." ”
Mrs. Qian got up and grabbed Lu Junying's sleeve and talked a lot, which was probably consistent with what the old housekeeper said, and every time she talked about sadness, tears came out of her eyes.
According to Mrs. Qian and the housekeeper's words, the house began to be haunted a month ago, and Master Qian was also frightened and injured his soul at that time, and he returned to the west within a few days, and Mrs. Qian's leg was also injured during the mourning.
Mu Wanqing followed behind Lu Junying not far away, and did not speak until Mrs. Qian sent a maid to lead the two to the residence.
After learning that his house was separated from Mu Bangqing by a courtyard, Lu Junying immediately refused directly on the grounds that it was not conducive to discussing countermeasures with his junior sister.
Mu Bangqing threw down his burden and threw himself on the bed, "It's so soft, the house of the Canglan Sword Sect is not as good as this, and the rich will really enjoy it." ”
Lu Junying closed the door, sat at the round table made of rosewood, and poured himself a cup of tea.
Just now, in order to comfort Mrs. Qian, he said all the words he had watched on TV in his previous life, and he was tired enough.
"Hey, this room is arranged for me, the bed is mine, if you want to sleep, you can make your own floor."
"You may not be able to sleep at night."
"You said that you, your cultivation is higher than me, you live in your own room, and you're afraid of a yarn!" Mu Bangqing lifted the quilt and covered herself.
Lu Junying smiled in his heart, he is a person who has watched countless horror movies, according to the routine, once the protagonist group is alone, it is the rhythm of hitting ghosts and being wiped out every minute.
Especially the people in the team who have explosive combat effectiveness are often the first to receive a boxed lunch, and there are only two endings, one is that the protagonist is wiped out, and the other is that the thin and weak protagonist survives to the finale by virtue of his luck against the sky.
Whatever it is, there's always something wrong with huddles!
Of course, as the nominal senior brother of the Qinghui faction, he would not admit his thoughts, and the words that came out of his mouth became, "After all, I am your senior brother, so I naturally want to protect you." ”
Just as he was immersed in the atmosphere of self-touching, the sound of well-proportioned breathing came into his ears, and he looked at the girl sleeping soundly.
It was still early outside, and I thought that I wouldn't have to sleep tonight, so Lu Junying bolted the door latch and rested on the baggage.
"What people!" Mu Bangqing, who was asleep, felt the chill, sat up suddenly, and turned his fingertips to bring out pieces of fallen leaves.
Lu Junying was awakened by Mu Bangqing, vigilantly grabbed the matching sword in his hand, his left hand was slightly open, and the orange and yellow flames were beating in his palm.
Mu Wanqing used the flame in Lu Junying's hand to light all the oil lamps in the house, the darkness was dispelled, and the holes left in the oil-paper window lattices could be passed through one finger.
Is this being watched?
The two looked at each other and took a few steps back, Lu Junying was responsible for kicking the door for the main attack, and Mu Bangqing stayed behind to defend.
The door kicked open, and everyone inside and outside the house was frightened, and when they saw it clearly, they regained their composure.
"The two immortals are good." The one who spoke was a noble son with a bundle of crowns, with a bookish aura on his body, the skin on his face looked extraordinarily white under the warm light, and his hands holding the three-layer food box looked a little laborious.
"I saw that no one came to send some food to the immortal chief in the second watch, so I found a few things at random, and I hope that the immortal chief will not be disgusted."
"Thank you, Childe." Seeing this, Mu Bangqing hurriedly stepped forward to take the food box, and inadvertently touched the other party's hand during the handover, which was quite cold, so he kindly reminded, "It is more deeply exposed, and the son must pay attention to keeping warm." ”
Childe retracted his hands into his sleeves, a little embarrassed, thanked him and left.
Lu Junying kept waving his hand to block Mu Bangqing's sight, "Look, everyone is far away." ”
"This little boy is really handsome, but I don't know if I have ever been married." Mu Bangqing seemed to be able to see from Mr. Qian's appearance that Mrs. Qian was such a peerless beauty.
"Wake up! Rich families are looking for the right person to get married! You, no play! Lu Junying patted Mu Bangqing on the shoulder and opened the food box, "The dishes are good." ”
