Chapter 19: Coincidences
Xu Huaigu walked very quickly with Gu Yue, and the old Fang Shi chased after him, and he was already sweating, not to mention the little apricot behind him, his steps were vain, one foot on the left and one on the right, as if he was drunk, and it seemed that he was about to be overwhelmed by that bookbox.
The old monk turned a blind eye, and urged loudly, "Little apricot, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, ten taels of silver will fly away!"
Little Apricot kept answering loudly, "Yes, Master!"
Finally, Xu Huaigu finally stopped in a remote alley, and the old man chased him not far behind, hunched over, put his hands on his knees, panting, and said profusely, "Oh, you can stop, my old bones are going to fall apart!"
Xu Huaigu looked at him with cold eyes, but he turned a blind eye, and shouted to Xiao Xingzi, who was thrown far behind and was still struggling to come, "Little Xingzi, hurry up and bring the compass and the stick for the teacher!" Show them what they can do as a teacher!"
Xiao Xingzi immediately perked up her spirits, quickened her steps, and responded, "Yes, Master!"
Gu March felt sorry for the child named Xiao Xingzi, Xu Huaigu raised his eyebrows, glared at him and asked indifferently, "Why, you people in Xicheng are so fond of buying and selling?"
The old man smiled and didn't speak.
The little apricot had already run to the old alchemist's side, and accidentally stumbled, and his body fell down as soon as he was weak. The bookcase toppled over, and the contents were scattered all over the floor.
Old Fang Shiden was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and scolded: "Be careful, if you break something for your teacher, you just wait to drink the northwest wind!"
Xiao Xingzi fell to the ground and didn't get up yet, but she still answered and said, "Yes, Master!"
Only then did the old man breathe his breath, and smiled at Gu Yue: "Girl, don't go, old man, here are a few ways to help you survive the disaster, do you want to try it?" Ten taels of silver to buy a life, it must be worth it."
Xu Huaigu wanted to see what Gu March was going to do, but she couldn't stand it for a long time, so she scolded, "You dead old man! Have you abused children like this? He's only eight or nine years old, how can you bear to do this to him!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Little apricot, this girl told you to get up quickly!"
"Yes, Master!"
The little apricot got up as soon as she could, picked up the contents of the bookcase again, and stood behind the old man respectfully.
The old man smiled, "Is the girl satisfied now? As long as ten taels of silver, you can help the girl turn evil into good fortune and survive the disaster. The old man walks the rivers and lakes, relying on his real reputation, and he will never deceive others."
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, glanced at him unwillingly, and said, "I'll give you money, you take this kid to eat something delicious!"
The old Fang Shi smiled brightly and nodded, Gu Yue took out several broken pieces of silver from his pocket and threw them into his hands.
The old man grabbed them all with one hand, counted them carefully, and said with a satisfied smile, "Eleven taels and three dollars, the girl is really magnificent. The old man will not take your money in vain, I have calculated that the girl, you have recently been hit by water, don't cross the rivers, lakes and seas, you are very likely to die."
Gu March didn't believe his nonsense, but when he was talking nonsense, he quickly sent him away, "Let's go, don't follow us anymore."
The old man smiled and said, "Girl, then there will be a period later."
"Little apricot, let's go!"
Xiao Xingzi shook the bookcase, straightened her waist, and replied loudly, "Yes, Master!"
The two turned around and were about to leave
In this small alley, I suddenly found two people standing outside the alley, and I was so shocked that I stopped.
The woman outside the alley shouted, "Why are you? Eh...... Don't go!"
It is said that as soon as the old man saw the man and woman standing outside the alley, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't take care of the little apricot with the bookcase behind him, and he was about to run when he took a step.
It's a pity that the woman seems to have practiced martial arts, and her skills are very athletic, and the old Fang Shi is old and frail, so he can only run away a few steps before the woman grabs the collar on the back of the neck, and suddenly has to stop, crying and begging endlessly.
The woman looked triumphant and glanced at her
The old man sneered, "Yo, it's a coincidence, this girl only saw you yesterday, but I didn't expect to see you again today?" How is it, do you remember what this girl said to you yesterday, I saw you hit you once!"
The old Fang Shi cowered and didn't dare to respond, but Xiao Xingzi rushed to the woman's eyes, opened her small arms to protect him, and said angrily, "Don't hurt my master!"
The woman looked at Xiao Xingzi fiercely, and said with a half-threatening attitude, "This guy is so bad to you, what are you doing with him? I see that you are willing to endure hardships, so it is better to go with your sister, and my sister will pack you with delicious food and good clothes!"
Xiao Xingzi shook her head stiffly, opened her arms to protect the old man, but refused to back down.
The woman's face gradually sank, and just as she was about to make a move, the man next to her hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, reproaching, "Xiuyang, why are you so reckless! People don't have anything to provoke you, why do you do it to others!"
Xu Huaigu watched this scene in the alley and laughed.
Good guy, the dare is really in response to the sentence "Where in the world do not meet", this man and woman turned out to be the brothers and sisters of Chu Wenze and Chu Xiuyang that Xu Huaigu met many times in Fuyao Sect, listening to Chu Xiuyang's words at this time, it seems that he has already dealt with this Fang Shi, and has formed a relationship.
Xu Huaigu watched the play with a smile, he wanted to see what these two highnesses of Fusang Kingdom would do with this old man who was abducted and deceived.
Hearing Chu Wenze's persuasion, but Chu Xiuyang didn't listen to him this time, and also got angry and said, "This old man is not self-respecting, and his mouth is full of nonsense. What kind of did he say yesterday? He also said that I was a red luan star, and said that you ordered Huating, isn't this nonsense! If you don't hold back your mouth and cheat people out of money, you should be beaten!"
With that, she raised her fist and was about to fight.
Xiao Xingzi didn't let him live or die, seeing that a punch was about to fall, Chu Wenze gritted his teeth and stepped forward, blocked in front of Xiao Xingzi, and shouted to Chu Xiuyang, "If you want to beat them, you will kill your brother first." If your brother dies, there will be no one to stop you from messing around!"
Chu Xiuyang bit her lip tightly, and still hammered it down, but her strength was much smaller, and she was a little coquettish, so she let out a sigh of relief.
Chu Wenze stopped her, and whispered good words to persuade, "Xiuyang, I finally had the opportunity to visit the Yan family today. Didn't you always want to go to Yan's house to play? If you fight and bring the people of the Terracotta Division over, your and my identities will be exposed, how will you succeed? And my father will definitely ban us, and tomorrow's Lantern Festival will be in vain! If you bear with it, even if it's for tomorrow's Lantern Festival, you can let them go."
Chu Xiuyang frowned tightly for a while, weighed it for a while, and then said unwillingly: "Count the two of you lucky today, if you see this girl again next time, first admit my mistake and apologize, and then avoid leaving from a distance, otherwise even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, I will be able to do it!"
"Yes, yes......"
The old Fang Shi was frightened, and Chu Xiuyang let go of him, he
immediately ran away, and Xiao Xingzi followed behind him, hurriedly carrying stumbling steps, and gradually disappeared into the flow of people.
Chu Xiuyang wiped his palms and said disdainfully: "Cut, two charlatans, one big and one small, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have taught them a hard lesson and let them know that they would have to pay back if they were deceived too much!"
Chu Wenze finally appeased Chu Xiuyang, and said continuously, "That's right, yes, yes."
The two were about to leave, but Xu Huaigu suddenly smiled and said, "What a coincidence, please stay!"
Chu Wenze and Chu Xiuyang looked at him in unison, and suddenly their faces became strange.
Chu Xiuyang was surprised that he was here, and he must have seen the way he was fighting, but unfortunately he didn't succeed and was embarrassed. What Chu Wenze thought was that Chu Xiuyang was messing around with him like this, Xu Huaigu must have seen the whole process, and now the royal face would be embarrassed.
Chu Wenze subconsciously said involuntarily, "Xu ......"
He reacted suddenly and changed his words, "Brother Yu, why are you here?"
Brother Xu and Brother Yu, the difference between one word can see a lot of things.
Xu Huaigu smiled incomprehensibly at him, and he was ambiguous in his heart
However, I don't know if I have been exposed in his eyes.
Xu Huaigu smiled, "Yes, I also think it's a coincidence."
Chu Xiuyang shouted loudly, and shouted excitedly at Gu Yue, "Oh, it's you! Do you remember what we met on the way down the mountain?"
Gu Yueyue looked at these two people and remembered the day she left the Fuyao Sect, it was these two people who stopped her on the road and asked questions, especially this woman, who was very weird.
Gu Yue frowned and said, "Remember, you were still laughing at me at that time."
Chu Xiuyang anxiously explained, "No, I didn't laugh at you, I'll just say that! You're mistaken!"
Chu Wenze hurriedly played a round and said, "The little sister has a strange temper and a tricky temperament, and some words come out just in her brain. But she still has a good heart, and she will never mean to laugh at the girl."
Gu Yueyue looked at the way she stretched out her hand to hit the old Fang Shi before, and secretly guessed a few points in her heart, this woman should be a big grinning and temperamental character, so she didn't pay so much attention to what she said last time.
Xu Huaigu glanced at a few people and said suspiciously, "You know each other?"
Chu Wenze explained: "That's the case, on the day this girl went down the mountain, she happened to meet me and my little sister also going down the mountain. The little sister is a little disrespectful and offended this girl, I can't help it, but we know each other because of this."
Xu Huaigu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I see."
Chu Wenze greeted him with a smile and said to Gu Yue, "This girl, my name is Chu Wenze, this is my sister Chu Xiuyang, I didn't mean to offend before, and I ask the girl to forgive me."
Seeing that he was so polite, Gu Yue had long lost his anger, and he also smiled politely and said, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart. My name is Gu March, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xu Huaigu felt a little strange, how could things in the world be so coincidental, Gu Yueyue and the Chu brothers and sisters had met in the Fuyao Sect, and the old Fang Shi with a strange temper had seen the Chu brothers and sisters yesterday, and he saw himself again today, and it happened that Chu Xiuyang also met the old Fang Shi here.
All of this is too coincidental, right?
Xu Huaigu couldn't figure it out, but he didn't think it was a coincidence, he just secretly kept it in his heart and raised his vigilance.
