Twenty-eight, heavy rain.

Summer days can be said to change.

Unlike spring and winter, it is mostly drizzling.

In this summer, when it rains, it is often a heavy downpour.

The successive heavy rains made the weather at this time not only sultry, but also a little humid.

Afternoon.

The rain was pouring outside, but it was cool inside.

And compared to the outside, due to the fact that several pots of charcoal placed in the house absorb moisture, Chu Qinghe, the main house, was a little refreshing at this time.

In this case of a pleasant temperature, Ying Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji sat opposite each other, each holding a chess, Lin Shiyin was still immersed in cultivation and wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan put a pot of mung beans in front of him, peeling off the skin of this mung bean with true qi and not hurting the inside, so as to practice the accuracy of true qi and internal force.

Only Chu Qinghe sat on an old man's rocking chair, gently undulating and swaying with the "creak" of the chair under him, enjoying the wind and rain outside the window while tasting wine.

It's hard to imagine that even people like Ying Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji will be like ordinary women, huddled in the house in this hot summer, when the rain is heavy, looking for fun to pass the time.

Stirring up the wind and clouds, although the fresh clothes and angry horses are exciting, but the quiet years are more comfortable.

Life!

Compared with these things, it is naturally more comfortable to be more comfortable and leisurely.

After a while, as his gaze withdrew from the window, he turned to the jellyfish Yin Ji and Invite Yue in the house.

Looking at the two girls who were unusually harmonious at this time, the corners of Chu Qinghe's mouth couldn't help but provoke a smile.

Therefore, if you want to have a good atmosphere at home, a strong body is indispensable.

There are often many promotions of worldly relationships.

But the most direct thing is undoubtedly the opposite of honesty.

It's like inviting the moon and the jellyfish Yin Ji.

After a few frank conversations, they gradually became acquainted with each other.

plus the well-behaved attitude of the jellyfish Yin Ji and the coaxing of the left sentence "eldest sister" and the right sentence "eldest sister".

is also because of the identity of this "eldest sister", Ying Yue will also point out the problem of the battle on the side of the jellyfish Yin Ji from time to time.

And the jellyfish Yin Ji sometimes washes Chu Qinghe's hair at night when Invite Yue washes her hair, and she will also use "Divine Water Decision" to make Invite Moon more moisturized.

After more than half a month, where is there still a sense of alienation between the two women?

After thinking about it, Chu Qinghe turned his head again, and when he looked out the window, he gradually stepped into a state of emptiness.

Meanwhile.

Yushui City.

When the heavy rain was drifting, in the east of the city, in a small house selling wine, it was the size of the main house of Chu Qinghe, but at this time dozens of people were crowded.

The compound smell of alcohol, sweat and some special smells fills the room.

If the people from the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Sword Gate were here, it was estimated that they would be able to distinguish the identities of these people at a glance.

It is a thief who specializes in stealing and stealing in this Yushui City.

There is a way for the walk, and there is a doorway for the door.

Hanako can gather together to survive, not to mention the thieves who still rely on their crafts to eat.

No matter what town you are in, all walks of life have their own small groups.

The same goes for thieves.

For example, at this time, this room is gathered by the thieves in the entire Yushui City.

Basically, apart from work, the thieves' favorite thing is to get into this house.

After all, they are all peers, and they don't know each other on the outside, but behind closed doors, they not only speak well, but they are all talents.

From time to time, some intelligence and information can be exchanged through exchanges, so that these thieves can choose targets.

At this time, in the middle of the room, a man sat in the far corner.

The man looks to be in his thirties, slightly thin, and although his appearance is ordinary, his eyes are smart, giving people a sense of shrewdness and cleverness.

Smelling the smell of the room and the noisy whispers around him, the man's face was filled with a sense of enjoyment.

Feel like you're home.

"Sure enough, compared to the home full of flowers, this thief's den is still comfortable!"

After taking a sip of wine, looking at the obvious thief-eyed people next to him, the man couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.

"Eh, third child, is there any news lately?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that three caravans from the Great Song Kingdom came to trade today and live in the city, but I don't know if there is much oil and water."

"Stayed? Where do you live? It can't be the west of the city, right? ”

"Definitely not, what would I say if I lived on the west side of the city? They all live in the north of the city, and it seems that they only paid for one night's room. ”

"Fortunately, if it's the west of the city, I'm afraid this business will be yellow again."

"Hey, I don't know what the reason is, the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Sword Gate are not allowed to run to the west of the city, last year, Liu Sanshou just didn't listen to the persuasion to go to the west of the city to steal things and was found out, and he died miserably."

"I seem to have heard that it was because of the Chu Qinghe in the west of the city."

"Chu Qinghe? That little white face? ”

"Shhh Whisper. ”

However, just as the people at this table were whispering, the man in the corner couldn't help but turn his head to look at the people at this table.

After thinking for a moment, the man laughed "hey", then picked up the flask on the table and walked towards the few people who had just whispered.

Half an hour later, as the man came out of the room, his right hand was raised slightly, and there were already a few more money bags in his hand.

It was just from those peers in the thief's den.

While weighing the money bag in his hand, the man walked towards the street.

Between the empty and falling of these money bags, thinking back to the news that had been found out before, the man's face was full of interest.

"Are two third-rate gangs backing up? I want to come to the house with a lot of good things, take a look. ”

Muttering, the man glanced at the old woman at the corner of the street who was huddled under a shed with two small children in her arms, and then flicked it down in his hand, and a money bag had fallen in front of the old man.

Looking at the money bag falling in front of her, the old woman with a child in her arms picked up the money bag and looked at it.

When she looked at the silver and copper coins in the purse, the old woman's face could not help but show surprise.

But when you look up, where is the figure of the man from before?

At 15 o'clock, as the heavy rain gradually subsided, the sun, which had not been seen for several days, began to break through the clouds again and sprinkle the earth at this moment.

As the sunlight scatters, the stagnant water in the courtyard also refracts the sunlight into all the rooms in the courtyard.

Under the sun's rays, when evening was approaching, where were there still a little water stains on the roof and in this courtyard?

At this time of sunset, Chu Qinghe sat on the roof, and Invite Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji also sat next to Chu Qinghe.

As the sun in the sky gradually turned into a color like salted egg yolk, when the warm light sprinkled down, the three of Chu Qinghe's bodies were dyed with a layer of fluorescence.

The breeze blows through the courtyard, bringing the fragrance of the camellia tree in the courtyard, but also mixed with a little earthy smell unique to the summer rain.

While the sunset was still standing, the sound of knowing and crickets sounded at the same time.

It wasn't until the light at this time was a little dimmer that Chu Qinghe slowly got up and floated to the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ying Yue and the jellyfish Yin Ji also dodged together and jumped off the roof.

And when the sky was completely dark, and the moon loomed, Chu Qinghe's courtyard was already brightly illuminated by lights.

At night.

The night breeze made the whole yard filled with the scent of flowers and a few candles.

After coming out of the cool pool, the jellyfish Yin Ji and the four girls of the moon sat at the stone table and played mahjong.

Chu Qinghe was lying in the hammock, and after Xiao Zhao pondered for a while, Chu Qinghe raised his fingers lightly, and pulled a chess piece in the chess box to also fall on the chessboard.

After all, compared to other games, it is also a game that does not rely on too much luck, such as chess, which is suitable for Xiao Zhao.

It was obviously late at night, but in the courtyard of Chu Qinghe, leisurely seemed to be the eternal tone.

However, just as the six of them were gathered in the inner courtyard, a figure quietly climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the backyard.

Who else could it be that the man who stole from his peers in the thief's den in the east of the city during the day?

Glancing at the pool in the backyard that was still stained with water stains, and smelling the fragrant aroma in the backyard, the man couldn't help but mutter, "It's quite fragrant."

After speaking, the man walked slowly in the backyard again, and after looking around, he took in the bright light in the direction of the arch leading to the inner courtyard, but the man frowned slightly.

At the same time, Ying Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji in the inner courtyard were also aware of it, and glanced at the location of the backyard when they raised their eyes.

In the next second, from Chu Qinghe's ears, the voice of Invite Yue was already heard.

"There's a guy from the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm who broke in from the backyard."

Hearing the sound of Invite Yue, Chu Qinghe, who originally seemed lazy, suddenly raised his eyebrows.

In this regard, after thinking about it for a while, Chu Qinghe also had a vague flow of true qi and transmitted a message to Ying Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji: "It's okay, this poison in the courtyard has an effect on the realm of heaven and man, let's see what the purpose of this guy is." ”

The sound entered the ears, and the expressions of the jellyfish Yin Ji and Ying Yue also relaxed, and the card that Ying Yue had just touched in his hand was played.

Backyard.

At this time, the man had already touched the position of the window on the back wall of the main house.

As the man raised his hand and touched the window of the main house, the next second, the window that had been bolted from the inside was slowly pushed open.

The man, on the other hand, bent his legs slightly, jumped up with just the force of the bounce, and entered the room with his hands propped up on the edge of the window.

Approaching the main house through the window, the man first glanced outside.

After making sure that the noise outside was still there, the man laughed "hey" in his heart, and then the cat leaned over and carefully examined the room.

And when he walked to the bookshelf, looking at the box of white jade Bodhi incense on the shelf, the man's eyes suddenly lit up.

After touching it, the man couldn't help but look surprised on his face.

"Good fellow, such a big box made of mutton fat and white jade? So rich? ”

As he spoke, the man raised his hand to open the box.

When looking at the neatly arranged white jade Bodhi incense in the box, the man couldn't help but look suspicious.

Picked one up and looked at it, then sniffed it, and the doubt on the man's face increased.

"What is this?"

"Forget it, what can be put in a box made of mutton fat and white jade must be a treasure, and when I am free later, I will show it to Hua Manlou or Lu Xiaoji to see if I recognize it?"

Muttering, the man took out one of the white jade bodhi incense, broke off a small piece of half an inch, and put it in a coarse cloth before putting the box back on.

Then I looked through a few other boxes, but it turned out to be a lack of interest.

However, when his eyes touched the dozen or so wood carvings on the bookshelf, the man couldn't help but mutter.

"Strange, why do you feel inexplicably pleasing to the eye when you look at these wood carvings?"

But after a few breaths, the man shook his head again, then wrapped the coarse cloth containing a piece of white jade linden incense and a piece of purple jade mandala incense and put it in his arms, and then walked carefully to the window connected to the backyard.

However, when the man jumped out of this window with one hand, and looked at Chu Qinghe, Ying Yue and Jellyfish Yin Ji in the backyard at this time, the smile on the man's face suddenly stiffened.

"Discovered?"

However, when the man's gaze swept over Chu Qinghe and Ying Yue, and when his eyes touched the jellyfish Yin Ji, the man's face changed suddenly.

"Jellyfish Yin Ji?"

As soon as the voice came out, the true qi in the man's body was running wildly, and his body jumped up and prepared to escape.

However, just when the man had just activated his true qi and his body was in the air, his body trembled, and the whole person fell down quickly.

But considering the things that the man still had in his arms at this time, when the man fell, Chu Qinghe's right hand was lightly raised, so that a true qi directly dragged the man along.

And when he fell from the sky and lay on the ground, feeling the body full of sharp pain all over his body and the true qi that had dissipated without a trace, the man couldn't help but be shocked: 'Poisoned? ’

In the horror in his heart, Sikong Xingxing quickly thought about it.

After a while, after realizing it, Sikong Xingxing faintly guessed the method of his poisoning.

Immediately, when he looked at Chu Qinghe, his expression became strange.

"This guy is actually adulterated in his own air?"

After glancing at the person on the ground, Chu Qinghe looked at the jellyfish Yin Ji and said, "Do you know this guy?" ”

Listening to Chu Qinghe's question, the jellyfish Yin Ji nodded lightly and said, "Sikong Xingxing, two years ago, I sneaked into my Shenshui Palace and wanted to steal Tianyi Shenshui, but I was lucky enough to slip away." ”

"Picking up stars?"

Just rushed from the inner courtyard to the backyard, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin listened to what the jellyfish Yin Ji said, and their eyes couldn't help but focus on the man on the ground.

Even when Chu Qinghe learned that this person turned out to be a star, there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.

For most martial artists, the purpose of cultivating hard is either for fame and fortune, or for the sake of refuting the world's fresh clothes and angry horses.

But the rivers and lakes are not small.

And when the forest is big, there are naturally all kinds of birds.

Therefore, among these martial artists, there are also some martial artists with special fetishes.

Although his cultivation is extremely high, when his strength is successful, he does not use his martial arts in other places because he is not for fame and fortune, and second, he does not punish traitors and eliminate evil.

For example, the star picker in front of him, known as the "King of Stealing Kings", and Chu Liuxiang, the thief.

They are all strong people in the Grandmaster Realm, but they don't like fame and fortune, they like to steal things, and they have fun.

It's just that compared to Chu Liuxiang, who likes to cause trouble, this commonplace star picking is much more pure.

It's simply like to steal.

And after stealing things and playing for a while, they will return them.

Chu Qinghe didn't expect that he would meet someone like Sikong Xingxing in this small place in Yushui City.

And he also took the initiative to steal to his own house.

A moment later, in the main house, the things that Sikong Xingxing had carried into his arms had already been taken out by Qu Feiyan.

However, when he saw the money bag that Qu Feiyan took away from his arms, Sikong Jiexing's face stiffened and he couldn't help but say, "No, this is mine." ”

Hearing this, Qu Feiyan glanced at Sikong Xingxing, poured out the money in the money bag and divided it into three parts and gave it to Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin, and then stuffed the empty money bag back into Sikong Xingxing's arms.

"Oh, I'll pay you back."

Picking up the stars: "."

Next to him, when he opened the coarse cloth found in Sikong Xingxing's arms and looked at the white jade linden inside, Qu Feiyan asked, "Did you sneak in just to steal this white jade Bodhi incense?" ”

Facing Qu Feiyan's question, Sikong Xingxing carefully glanced at the jellyfish Yin Ji and said, "I haven't seen it, I'm going to study it." ”

Listening to Sikong Xingxing's answer, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

However, Chu Qinghe, who knew something about picking stars, did not have too many surprises.

Unlike other thieves, although he is known as the king of stealing, there are only two ways to steal.

The first is to steal it and play it for a few days when you see that you are interested.

The second is that someone pays him to steal something.

Obviously, judging from the thing that Sikong picked up the stars from Chu Qinghe now, the reason why it appeared in Chu Qinghe's courtyard today was completely interested.

After determining the harmfulness of the person in front of him, Chu Qinghe's expression also eased.

At this time, Qu Feiyan asked: "Sister Situ, isn't this Sikong Star Picking known as being good at the art of disguise?" Why are you so sure that he is the star of the sky? ”

Jellyfish Yin Ji said lightly: "When this guy broke into my Shenshui Palace, the human skin mask on his face was ruined by me with true anger and saw his true face. ”

Qu Feiyan said: "So, this guy didn't change his face today? ”

Jellyfish Yin Ji nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan turned his head to look at Chu Qinghedao: "Childe, this guy doesn't respect you, and it's not even tolerable to come to you to steal things." ”

Looking at Qu Feiyan next to him, the corners of Chu Qinghe's mouth hooked up and said: "I think so too, you dare to come directly to the door even if it is not easy to tolerate, you are indeed very bold." ”

Facing what Chu Qinghe said at this time, Sikong Jiexing, whose body couldn't move, spoke: "No, big brother, I didn't expect that there would be a ruthless person like you in this small place!" He even poisoned his own home. ”

As he spoke, Sikong Xingxing felt like he was about to cry.

After so many years of traveling from south to north, people who have been poisoned have seen a lot of stars.

But a ruthless person like Chu Qinghe, who poisoned his own home, was the first to meet Sikong Xingxing.

However, without waiting for Sikong to pick up the stars and think about it, Chu Qinghe's voice sounded again.

"Then the problem now comes, sneaking into my house in the middle of the night and being caught, what do you think, what should I do with you?"
