Mu Jinghong was right, they went to save people instead of killing people.

Cheng Jiujiu threw the pear blossom to Mu Jinghong and said, "This sword will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and I will return it to me after I leave Dog Mountain." ”

Mu Qinghong took the pear blossom, put the sword in front of him and looked at it carefully, and kept panting in his mouth: "You really shouldn't throw the sword to a thief, the Dugu family will exchange the daughter for this sword." ”

Cheng Jiujiu snorted coldly, and scolded angrily: "This sword is tied to your legs, if the sword is lost, don't want your two legs." ”

Mu Jinghong laughed dryly, turned around slightly and disappeared the pear blossom out of thin air, and Chengjiujiu made a 'tsk' sound and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

Mu Jinghong smiled proudly: "If I don't have the ability to take care of the house, how can I be the first snitch in the world?" ”

"Then can you turn my donkey into nothing?"

Mu Jinghong didn't answer this stupid question, but asked Cheng Jiujiu instead: "In addition to Wang Tuzi and Tang Lanxin, is there anyone who hasn't appeared, that fat man?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "If you come a day late, you will see him, and now he is not here." ”

Mu Jinghong put his mind at ease, fortunately he didn't have to face the coffin, Yan Ting also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the three of them knew what was in the coffin, and they also knew that that thing was not easy to deal with.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning, and we'll be able to resist Mt. Inuzu early the day after tomorrow."

The three of them combined several tables into beds in the lobby, and they spent the night on the table tonight, although it was not as comfortable as the real bed, Yan Ting slept very peacefully.

Even if people have a lot of troubles, as long as they have friends by their side, they will be at peace, and this is the power of friendship.

Some people will never understand.

Nothing was said all night.

As soon as the shimmer of red light pierced the curtain of the night, the three of them packed up and set out on their journey.

Cheng Jiujiu did not ride the little donkey, compared to the horses, the donkey walked a little slowly, and now they needed time, bought three strong horses at the post station in the city, and drove out of the outer city of Qizhou at noon.

Now until noon, the sun is scorching on the three of them, Mu Qinghong wiped the sweat on his forehead, and shouted to Yan Ting and the two in front: "There is a tea stall in front, we can rest there, and it's not too late to hurry after a while to cool off." ”

Yan Ting asked, "Or is it Granny Wang's tea stall?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "Yes, I came last year, and her old man is still very strong when she is over seventy years old, and she can hold up a tray of five bowls of tea with one hand." ”

Yan Ting showed a warm smile, during the days he stayed in Dog Mountain, he went to Granny Wang's tea stall the most, whenever he finished a day's experience, he would always drag his tired body to come there, drink a large bowl of herbal tea under the kind gaze of Granny Wang, and then lie down on the table in the tea stall and fall asleep.

Time has passed, and now Yan Ting is no longer the reckless young man he was back then, and I don't know if Granny Wang can still recognize him after not seeing him for several years.

The three of them rode forward for a while, and a small tea stall familiar to Yan Ting appeared on the side of the road in the distance, and Yan Ting said to the two: "Let's rest there for a while." ”

Mu Qinghong naturally agreed, Cheng Jiujiu wiped the sweat on his forehead and didn't say much, the three of them came to the tea stall and dismounted, at this time, there were a few people in the small tea stall who were drinking tea and chatting, the three of them sat in the corner of the tea stall, Mu Qinghong shouted: "Where is Granny Wang?" It's time to come out and greet you! ”

Here it comes! ”

The answer was a burly and strong man, holding a large teapot in his hand from the room behind the tea stall, seeing Yan Ting and the three of them sitting down happily running to pour tea for Yan Ting, Mu Qinghong saw that it was not Wang Po, he was a little surprised in his heart, and asked, "Who are you?" What about Granny Wang? ”

Granny Wang is far away, I am her nephew, and she asked me to help her watch the stall here. The strong man looked stocky and honest, and his tone was quite sincere, Yan Ting and Mu Qinghong glanced at each other, and asked the strong man: "Did Granny Wang say where to go?" ”

No. ”

The people at the other table heard the conversation between the two, and one of the shirtless men shouted to this side: "I heard Mrs. Wang nagging her great-grandson about the birth of her sooner grandchild a few days ago, and I guess I went back to my hometown to pick up my great-grandson." ”

"That's right." Mu Qinghong attached one hand to the tea table, propped up his head and smiled at the man: "This kind of happy event is indeed going back, so did her old man say when she will come back?" ”

"Mrs. Wang is old, and the journey back and forth is tiring, so she may stay in her hometown and not come back." That's humane.

"Hmm......" Mu Qinghong turned his head and asked Yan Ting in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Granny Wang still has a granddaughter?" ”

"Nope." Yan Ting tapped on the table and looked at the few people on the table with interest, these five people have different shapes, there are old people over half a hundred years old, there are men in the prime of life, two young women who are tall and one short, plus an immature child, an ordinary family in the eyes of outsiders, but if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to see the clues.

The wrinkles on the old man's face were like a withered old tree, his hands should not be as smooth as white jade, the strong man's hand was only holding a bowl of tea, but he was tensing the muscles and veins of his whole body, the two young women were wearing sackcloth robes, but the exposed neck skin was like clotted fat, and at first glance it was not a country woman, as for the child, his two hands were always shrunk in his sleeves and never exposed.

Yan Ting looked at Chengjiu Wine on the side, Chengjiujiu didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the people at that table, and kept staring at the tea in front of him silently.

"This tea was picked in the tea field in the early morning, it is much better than when Granny Wang was there, and the guest officer should try it." The strong man saw that Yan Ting and the three of them were holding the tea and did not move, and urged with a simple face: "Although our tea is not as expensive as those in the city, it can be regarded as a good wine in this countryside." ”

"Wine? Are you tea or wine? Cheng Jiujiu smiled, raised his head and said to the man: "I hate drinking tea the most in my life, which can't make me forget my sorrows, and let me spend the money I spent to buy wine in vain, I wonder if you have wine here?" ”

Chengjiu Wine seems to be deliberately finding fault, how can there be wine for her to drink in this tea stall in the wilderness? The strong man smiled: "Sister, don't make fun of me, if the tea stall sells wine, it is not a tea stall, but a restaurant." ”

Cheng Jiujiu didn't know what to do, so he took out a handful of silver from his arms and threw it on the table: "As long as you can get me some wine, all this silver is yours, otherwise I will lift your tea stall." ”

The strong man looked at the white silver on the table, his mouth was open enough to stuff a peach, pointed to Chengjiu wine and stammered: "If I get you wine, you will give me all this silver?" ”

"It's all yours."

"I'll buy it now, can the girl wait for me for a while?"

"I'll wait no matter how long it takes."

The strong man smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a slit, ran back to the house and took out a pair of flat shoulders and ran towards the direction of Qizhou, Cheng Jiujiu watched his figure go farther and farther, until she disappeared at the end of the road, she turned around and drank the tea, and sighed casually: "The lips are sweet and pure, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, it is indeed a good tea." ”

"You just said that you hate tea the most, and now you drink it again." Yan Ting smiled, and also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Cheng Jiujiu said: "Although I don't like to drink tea, if I meet two kinds of people, I will still drink it." ”

Yan Ting said: "What two kinds of people?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "One is a friend, and the other is an enemy. ”

Yan Ting said: "So you drank tea just now because your friend is here?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "No, it's because my enemies are also here. ”

Yan Ting said: "Who is your enemy here?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu turned his head to look at the child, and the child also looked at her, his eyes were full of doubt, and Cheng Jiujiu smiled at him: "I said, let me see you again, you will no longer lose those hands." ”

The child's eyes showed infinite surprise and fear, and his whole body began to tremble, and the old man beside him looked at the child, and then at the city's nine wines, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu got up slowly, the child was paralyzed on the ground and was frightened, Cheng Jiujiu smiled and pointed to the five people one by one: "White-faced old ghost, heart-destroying child, cannibal tiger and Nanshan Shuangshu, there are four of the seven evils in Jiangnan sitting here, how can I not drink this bowl of tea?" ”

The old man glanced at the man beside him and asked, "I don't know the girl's name?" Have we ever provoked the girl? ”

"When did people like you talk so well?" Cheng Jiujiu smiled even more, and said to the Heartbreaker: "Why are you here?" ”

Heartbreaker lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, and the old man spoke: "A few of us are just passing by here to rest here, and we don't want to provoke the girl." ”

"Really?"

Cheng Jiujiu walked towards them, the man was about to move when he was stopped by the old man's look, Cheng Jiujiu walked to the heart breaker so unhurriedly, squatted down and whispered in his ear: "Why do you pretend?" ”

Heartbreaker raised his head violently, the timidity and fear in his eyes had all disappeared, replaced by endless hatred and anger, he suddenly raised his arms and pointed at the heart of Cheng Jiujiu, his two wrists were inlaid with square wooden mechanisms, and six flying nails were shot out with a "whoosh", Cheng Jiujiu just dodged them all slightly sideways, and then continued to laugh: "That's right, this is what a doll who digs out his heart will do." ”

Heartbreaker jumped up and shouted to the people around him: "Tiger old ghost, help me kill this woman quickly!" After saying that, he shot several flying nails at Cheng Jiujiu, but Cheng Jiujiu dodged sideways, and the heartbreaker turned his head to see that the companion was still sitting on the table and did not make a move, and shouted to the old man: "Why don't you make a move? ”

The old man showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and said with a smile: "She wants to kill you and not me, why should I interfere?" ”

"You!" Heartbreaker took a few steps back, pointed at the old man and scolded, "Do you think you can walk if I die?" She's going to kill us all! ”

The old man's heart was moved, and he asked Cheng Jiujiu: "Can the girl in the city spare my life?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu asked rhetorically: "Why are you here, do you have anything to do with Oolong Evergreen?" ”

Master Oolong ordered us to wait here, and there may be a person named Yan Ting who will come today. ”

Cheng Jiujiu pointed his finger at Yan Ting and said, "He is Yan Ting." ”

The old man squinted, glanced at Yan Ting, and arched his hand: "I'll wait until I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, so I'll leave." ”

Cheng Jiujiu didn't speak, and when he saw that his companion abandoned him so easily, he didn't dare to stay here and turn around and fly away, Mu Qinghong's eyes lit up: "This doll is so handsome, let's try our foot strength." Before the words fell, he kicked into the air and flew in the direction of the Heartbreaker.

Seeing that the Heartbreaker had fled, the old man stood up and bowed his hand to Chengjiujiu: "I'll say goodbye." Cheng Jiujiu said: "I didn't say I wanted you to leave. ”

The old man was startled and asked cautiously, "The city girl refuses to let us go?" ”

The others also stared at Cheng Jiu Jiu Jiu, and their feet were secretly exerting force, as long as Cheng Jiu Jiu Jiu said a "yes" word, they would shoot together, Cheng Jiujiu saw their faces tight, and sneered: "Why are you so nervous?" I didn't say you couldn't go. ”

The old man wondered, "What does the girl in the city mean?" ”

"Is the Oolong Evergreen Others in Dog Mountain?"

"Yes."

"Is Hai Yichuan also there?"

"We don't know Hai Yichuan."

Cheng Jiujiu turned her head to look at Yan Ting, she had nothing to ask, Yan Ting said, "Is there anyone else in front of you?" ”

The old man said, "No." ”

Yan Ting gave Cheng Jiujiu a look, Cheng Jiujiu coughed, and said to the old man: "I want you to stay here, at least three days before leaving." ”

The old man was puzzled: "Why do you want to stay for three days?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "You don't need to ask, I will come back in three days, if you are not there at that time, you will be enemies when you meet one day." ”

The old man nodded: "Okay, let's rest here for three days." ”

Yan Ting said to Chengjiujiu: "Granny Wang is not here, there is no need for us to stay, let's leave now." ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "We don't wait for Mu Qinghong?" ”

"He's not coming back." Yan Ting walked out of the tea stall and turned over his horse, and said, "He must not be able to catch up with that doll, but he is a dead and cheeky person, so he will not come back." ”

"Okay, you're strict! As soon as I left, you were speaking ill of me behind my back! A gust of wind blew up countless fallen leaves on the flat ground, Mu Qinghong stepped on the fallen leaves and flew in the air, landing on his horse, Yan Ting saw him coming back alone, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really haven't caught up, I underestimated your face." ”

Mu Qinghong said: "How can there be anyone in this world that I can't catch up, I just let go of that doll." ”

Yan Ting asked him, "What did you extort from him?"

Mu Qinghong took out two trap boxes from his arms and said to the two mysteriously: "I have always been very interested in the art of traps, so he immediately removed them and sent them to me." ”

Cheng Jiujiu listened to his intuition and laughed on the side: "That doll is a very grudgeful person, if you take his things today, he will dig out your heart even if he waits for ten years." ”

Mu Qinghong grimaced and said with a smile: "If he is not dead in ten years, I will dig out my heart and send it to him." ”

The three of them rode away slowly, and everyone in the tea stall finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the man known as the man-eating tiger looked at the back of Yan Ting and the others, and smashed the table with one palm: "Old ghost, what is the origin of that girl?" As for you, I'm afraid of this? ”

The white-faced old ghost looked at the figures of Yan Ting and the others in the distance, and said calmly to the man-eating tiger: "It's still too late for you to chase them now, I won't stop you." ”

The white-faced ghost clenched his fists, but he still stood there and didn't really chase it, the white-faced old ghost sneered, and smiled at a few wicked people around him: "If I hadn't guessed the identity of this girl wrongly, then we would never see Oolong evergreen again." ’
