Chapter 10: The Master Runs Away
When I returned to the restaurant, it was already dark, there was almost no one on the street, and there was a drowsy feeling everywhere, but it still couldn't stop Su Yan's excitement of going home. Su Yan jumped into the door, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
There was a gloom everywhere in the tavern and backyard, without the slightest hint of popularity.
Zuo Qing's eyebrows were slightly cold, and he cautiously checked around, "Is he asleep?" ”
Su Yan immediately rushed into Su Ming's room, but there was no one. It's late at night, and there's no reason why Master shouldn't be in the tavern, but where will he go? Zuo Qing lit up the fire fold and led her in, where the fire went, I saw that the table was dripping with ink, the pen and paper fell to the ground, the candles on the candlestick burned out, and the underwear was no longer there, it was full of dust and no popularity.
Su Yan was worried, and said to himself: "Where can he go?" Why didn't you tell me? Could it be that something has happened... Accidents?! ”
Zuo Qing said: "Looking at this situation, it is obvious that I wrote the letter in a hurry, maybe I planned to inform you, but it just happened that we missed this letter." From the personal belongings that were taken, it can be concluded that he should not have been attacked, but left preparedly, but the hurry of leaving, perhaps there was something urgent. Even though he said this, he was full of doubts.
Su Yan couldn't use her brain since she saw the chaos in this room, and at this time, Zuo Qing's explanation finally made her sober up, and her heart was finally relieved. "He doesn't have any friends or relatives, so what urgent matter can make him rush like this."
Zuo Qing comforted her and said: It's useless to think too much, tomorrow morning we will go and ask the neighbors if they can know where he is. As he was talking, Su Yan suddenly found a piece of inked paper under the table, and immediately picked it up, it turned out to be a letter from the master, only to see that the letter read:
The sky is vast and the sky is vast, and my red apricot is dug up the wall! For the sake of the teacher, just for the person on the tip of his heart when he was a teenager was forced to marry the rich and noble old man, for the teacher and the red apricot have a marriage contract with his parents, he must not be dug into the corner of the wall, and the face of the ancestors will be broken, and the teacher will definitely go to seek justice, otherwise he will make a big wedding banquet, so that the neighbors in the street will know that I am also a bloody iron man! Then again, Zuo Qing's kid is a liar! Lao Tzu finally knows who he is, we saved him and raised him for so long, it turns out that he has been kept in the dark! Grandpa's! He is actually the head of the Seven Senses Academy! This time I picked up the treasure, we are kind to him, you pester him well, no matter what, you have to let him leave a place for you in the academy, and when you return from snatching your relatives for the teacher in the future, you will definitely go to Ruoshui to take refuge in you! Remember, thank you for the teacher.
Master, Su Ming.
Su Yan was dumbfounded, "When did Master have a red apricot?" ”
"Maybe it's the belly that is married..."
Su Yan tilted his head and turned the letter over and over in front of the firelight, "Good guy, the emotional hero saved the beauty, and when he has a daughter-in-law and forgets his apprentice, one by one has no conscience!" ”
Zuo Qing's gaze stayed on the letter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. But then I thought of those suspicious people in Tsing Yi, could they be sent by Su Ming......
The next day, the spring was bright, the sun was hanging in the east, and everything on the earth was about to wake up.
Early in the morning, Su Yan was suddenly woken up by a noise, only to hear the noise of ping-pong outside, she rubbed her eyes and walked to the front hall leisurely, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and be in good spirits. I saw that Ghost Li had hired a few people, and they were taking off the plaque and replacing it with their own plaque. Su Yan quickly rushed over to stop him, "What are you doing?" This is the plaque of my house, you rebel! ”
Li Ghost snorted coldly: "What is the noise?" Your master lost the gamble, and now that the others have disappeared, this restaurant will naturally be mortgaged to me, I can change it if I want, you can't control it! ”
Su Yan was angry, "My master was bewitched by a ghost and ran away from home, you must have given him Gu!" ”
Li Ghost only laughed at her angry nonsense, and sneered: "Crazy girl, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, let me tell you this, your master's old friend ruined the marriage contract, and he is rushing to rob his relatives, you don't believe yourself to ask him, why bother messing around here, don't stop me from getting rich!" ”
Su Yan clenched his fists in anger and was about to go up to stop it. Suddenly, a pair of big hands grasped her fists, and a warmth poured into her heart, and her irritable emotions were relieved, but tears were already rolling in her eyes. He nodded to her, and there was infinite tenderness in his eyes, as if all the worldly disturbances were undisturbed by him.
Ghost Li has always looked at him unpleasantly, and this time he came to help this Su Yan, and his heart was even more uncomfortable to the extreme, "Little white face came to help again, get out of the way!" ”
"This is the last time we'll see each other." Zuo Qing said calmly, "Su Yan will go to Rongguo with me, and he will live in Ruoshui for a long time in the future, and it will be difficult to see you again." ”
Su Yan was shocked, "When did I promise you?" Zuo Qing ignored it, took her hand and walked straight into the backyard. Back in the room, Su Yan rolled up his sleeves and was about to interrogate. After listening to her series of long guns and short cannons, Zuo Qing smiled and said: "No matter what, it will be difficult to take back the words as soon as they are spoken, you should go with me as soon as possible, and you will stop their gossip." ”
Su Yan sat slumped on the chair with a sad face, "You said, the family business that was hard to keep is just handed over, Master doesn't feel sorry for me!" Zuo Qing was about to say a few words of comfort, but the words were on his lips, when Su Yan suddenly changed his words, "You say, can I still catch up with the master now to snatch his relatives?" I don't know what this red apricot looks like, is it good looking at me? However, Master's taste is also at that level, presumably the appearance of this red apricot is just mediocre. ”
……
"However, Master has nowhere to stay, what does he mean?!"
Zuo Qing said: "Xu just doesn't want you to join in the fun, after all, he has his plans." ”
Su Yan roughly believed it and said no more.
Zuo Qing's eyes left the room and landed on the branches swaying in the wind in the courtyard, and he was full of doubts.
The carriage swayed through the archway at the entrance of the town, and Zuo Qing drove, looking at the road behind him from time to time. Su Yan looked at the town unwillingly, suddenly climbed onto the roof of the car, folded his hands and shouted: "Ghost Li, listen, I will definitely make a fortune in Ruoshui!" I'll come back to redeem the restaurant, you wait for me! ”
At the door of the restaurant in the town, Ghost Li snorted at her, turned around and disappeared in the pedestrian line coming in and out. In the crowd, a white figure walked out, looked in the direction they left, and arched his hand with tears.
"I'm afraid it's going to take a long time." He said.
"A month? Two months? She asked.
"The distance between the north and the south is about two thousand miles, and it will take many days to speed up the horse, not to mention the carriage full of goods, not to mention the arrival in August, by the way, after arriving in Rongguo, we will first rest in Hongji Town, have you ever had an old man there?"
"The deceased? Where did the old man come from? ”
He was a little sluggish, and said with a wry smile: "I have an old friend." ”
"Has he been waiting for you?"
Zuo Qing was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." ”
The state of Chu and the state of Rong, one south and one north, are thousands of miles apart. Maybe it was because he was traveling overnight, or because he had a cold, Su Yan was a little unbearable, and he was weak, and he fell asleep in the carriage for several days, and the dry food he carried was almost exhausted. I finally found a tea stall, parked the carriage, and rested for a while.
Zuo Qing got out of the car and went to buy some steamed buns and dried meat, found some herbs nearby, and boiled them in the tea stall for a few hours before he got a small half pot of medicinal soup and fed it to Su Yan. After drinking some stomach warming, it eased up a bit, and when I opened my eyes, I asked where I was.
Zuo Qing tucked the thin blanket for her and said: "I just left the Chu State, if I am in a hurry day and night, I will be able to reach Ruoshui in less than a month, but depending on your situation, I am afraid that I will have to slow down, and I don't know when I will be able to arrive." ”
Su Yan was a little depressed: "How can I say that I have also practiced martial arts, but I didn't expect that I would be as good as you, a delicate son!" It's okay now, it's even more difficult to find Master! ”
"The six countries are so big, it's not easy to find someone, you go to the academy with me to settle down first, and when everything is settled, I'll help you."
Su Yan was depressed, "There is only this way at present." By the way, why don't you even have a guard for such a big official, and you have entered Rongguo, why didn't you send someone to pick you up? ”
"Leaving Rong Guo is a private matter, and I will naturally not inform anyone on the return trip, but wait closer, and then fly the pigeon to pass the book back to Ruoshui, my cronies will wait for us in Hongji Town in advance, and you can have a good night's rest at that time." "
Su Yan sighed, "I'm going back this time... If you go to Ruoshui, I don't know if you can adapt to it, or... I still stayed in Hongji Town, and I went to find the master myself. ”
Zuo Qing's face suddenly became serious at this moment, "At the beginning, I had already said that I was dead, you are making me lose face, not to mention that your master clearly stated in his letter that he ordered you to go to Ruoshui with me to seek wealth, if Su Ming knew that you were blocking his way to wealth, he would definitely be angry with you." ”
After that, he got out of the carriage, leaving Su Yan with a confused expression. She didn't know if the master was angry, but it was obvious that he Zuo Qing was angry, it seemed that they were really happy, and now they were thinking about the master! It seems that the master went to rob the kiss, and Zuo Qing was more anxious and sad than her.
