Chapter 35: The Trap
Qiong also didn't believe Su Changming's words at all, the first thing she did after leaving the school was to go straight to Wa Village to find Wei Xinxin.
In the somewhat dilapidated fence yard, it was not a half-human-tall little girl who came to greet her, but Wei Ying in coarse linen clothes. When Wei Ying saw that it was Qiong Yi, she was stunned at first, and then greeted her with a smile: "Miss Lu, it's you." ”
"I heard Xiaoxin say, you often come to our house, Granny Wang's house to help cook and clean, and always send some food, I am not here, thank you girl!" Wei Ying pulled her to the house, and Wei Xinxin also walked out of the house and called them: "Sister! Sister Lu! ”
The scene in front of her made Qiong also a little confused: Could it be that what Su Changming said is true?
"Miss Wei Ying, yes...... Who helped you redeem yourself? ”
Wei Ying's face was surprised, and she felt that her question was simply inexplicable: "Isn't it the girl you helped?" If you hadn't sought justice for my family, how could the Zhang family, who had harmed my father, be willing to lose money, and how could I use this money to redeem myself? ”
"That's it......" Qiong didn't expect that this matter would be resolved so smoothly, but seeing that their sisters were finally reunited, she was relieved, and smiled lightly: "It's great that you can come back, and Xiao Xin will be very happy." ”
Wei Xinxin hugged her sister's leg and nodded vigorously.
"In that case, there must be a lot of things to do when you come back, so I won't leave to bother." Joan said yes and turned to leave.
Wei Ying called her: "Miss Lu! ”
Qiong Yi looked back and listened to her: "Miss Lu, you have a great favor to my family, I got a lot of silver, and I want to give back to the girl with money, but it seems a little vulgar." Is the girl free tomorrow night? I invited the girl to the small tea house at the entrance of the village for dinner, which can be regarded as a little bit of my heart......"
As soon as Qiong Yi opened her lips, Wei Ying said again: "Great grace is in front, please girl must come......" She looked eager, her hands were on her chest, her eyes were full of anticipation, Qiong didn't think of refusing her, and responded: "Of course I will come." ”
Qiong Yi paused: "My junior brothers and sisters also helped with me, I called them......"
"No...... No! Wei Ying was stunned and shook her head again and again: "It's a girl, you often come to the village to help, I'...... My sister is afraid of life, she is afraid of ...... I'm not very willing, seeing that there are people coming with you......" said and took Wei Xinxin's hand, "Isn't it, Xiaoxin?" ”
Wei Xinxin looked at her sister, half frowned, and then nodded: "Well, it's good that Sister Lu is here, Xiaoxin likes Sister Lu!" As she spoke, she walked up to Qiong Yi, who scratched her little nose: "That's good! I'll come early tomorrow by myself! ”
Wei Xinxin smiled happily: "Mmmm! ”

Following.
Qiong also told Su Ye that the matter of Wei's family had been resolved, and also said that Wei Ying invited her to have dinner in Wa Village.
Su Ye patted his leg: "Solved?" That's it? Why do I think I'm doing nothing? After a pause, he asked again, "What does Wei Ying mean by calling you alone?" ”
Qiong also repeated Wei Ying's remarks: "She said that her little sister is afraid of life, and I often go to her house, so I know her well." ”
Su Ye only said, "You either take your junior brothers and sisters with you, or don't go." ”
"You're worried about fraud?"
"I think it's a little weird, not very proper."
"No, I think Miss Wei Ying is a pure person, she should simply want to thank me." Joan also spoke very simply, almost without thinking.
"Why don't you tell her to go back in a few days? Sheng Xuan's resentment hasn't come back yet. ”
"What's the matter with Guan Shenghao?"
Su Ye secretly said in his heart: Sheng Xuan's resentment is not there, if something happens, I may not be able to manage it!
Seeing Su Ye's worried face, Qiong Ye patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I'm just having a meal with the two girls of the Wei family, if Su Changming is there, I promise to leave immediately!" ”
Hearing her say firmly, Su Ye was relieved: "Okay." He asked again: "In which direction is Wacun, I still don't have to worry about it, and I'll come to you at night." ”
"To the west of town, just follow the path."
"Done."

When night fell, Sheng Xuanyan returned to the dormitory of the school.
Su Ye was about to change his clothes and go out, when he saw him coming back in the dust, he said, "Huh! Coming back? You're really in a hurry, I'm going to pick up Lu Xiyan! ”
"Pick her up?"
"That's right. Is the jade ready? What kind? Show me! ”
Hearing this, Sheng Xuanyan took out the mahogany box from his arms and opened it to show him. After reading it, Su Ye nodded with praise: "Not bad!" It's a beautiful jade ornament! ”
Sheng Xuan thought about his last sentence and asked, "You said you wanted to pick her up, what is the matter?" ”
"After the girl of the Wei family in Xiaowa Village was ransomed from the Qinglou, in order to repay her gratitude, she was invited to dinner."
"Who ransomed her?"
"It seems that the family that killed his father was given compensation and redeemed with this silver."
“…… Recognized so quickly? Something strange. ”
"Yes! You also feel that something is wrong! ”
"Hmm." Sheng Xuanyan untied his dusty clothes and took out a dark robe from the cabinet, "I'll go too." ”

When Qiong Yi came to the small tea house at the entrance of the village, the owner of the tea house greeted her very warmly: "The girl should be a guest of Xiaoying and others, right?" You're so early! The dish is still being prepared! I have some tea and pastries, so that the girl can pad her stomach when she is hungry. ”
The tea house was very small, with two wooden houses and a small hill lined with tea trees behind it, and she saw the woman pointing to a small building on stilts from a distance and walking towards it.
The wooden steps at the foot of the building are not high, and there is a spacious room going up, the wooden door is wide open, and the hall separated by the screen inside, Wei Ying is busy at the table with an apron, setting up the dining cup, and when she looks back and sees Qiong Yi, she shows joy and calls: "Miss Lu, you came really early." ”
She put a plate of pastries on the side of the low desk, and poured the brewed tea into a porcelain cup to cool: "This is a pre-dinner snack, when I bring the dishes prepared in the back kitchen, I will pick up Xiaoxin, she is still waiting for me at home!" ”
Joan also sat down at the desk and nodded in response, "Yes." ”
She likes to eat sweet cakes very much, and when she sees something in front of her, she naturally won't let it go. Picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and put it in her mouth, sweet and greasy with a hint of sourness, mixed in one place, very unappetizing, she directly spit out the piece of rice cake that had not been swallowed, and her expression was distorted: "...... Uh, Miss Wei Ying, this rice cake seems to be broken. ”
Wei Ying said "ah", and hurriedly walked to her side and handed the tea: "How can this be?" As she spoke, she picked up the plate of glutinous rice cakes, looked at them carefully, and sniffed them again, mixed with the sweetness of powdered sugar, there was really a strange smell, and it was indeed bad.
"It's really broken...... Maybe it's a pastry a few days ago, and the girl should drink some tea to suppress the strange smell! I'll have to go to the host's house and ask what the hell is going on. Wei Ying was full of apologies: "I'm sorry, I should have tasted it myself in advance." ”
"It's okay, I spit it out when I didn't taste right, I didn't swallow it, I won't have a stomach, you don't have to blame yourself." Qiong also said, put the porcelain cup in his hand to his mouth, and took a big sip: "This tea is also a little bitter." ”
“…… It's camellia, and it's normal to be bitter. Wei Ying saw her throat agitating up and down, she really swallowed the tea, lowered her head, and her voice was extremely low: "Miss Lu, I'm sorry......"
Joan didn't hear clearly, "Huh? What did you say? ”
I said...... This glutinous rice cake is broken, and I have to say sorry to the owner. The dishes in the back kitchen should be ready, I'll bring it, girl, you sit down for a while, I'll pick up Xiaoxin later. ”
"Well, there you go." Qiong Yi took another sip of tea and said.
Seeing Wei Ying leave with her head down, Qiong also went to explore the pot of tea, opened the mouth of the pot and sniffed it to her nose, but she didn't smell anything unusual.
"Miss Wei shouldn't be able to calculate me, right...... After all, I treated her sister so well, and I worried a lot about her family. Qiong also poured another cup of tea from the pot and brought it to her lips to drink.
At the first taste, the tea taste was a little bitter, but after tasting it for a while, it was a little sweet.
What kind of tea is this? It's delicious.
Qiong also wanted to pour another lamp, but she heard a squeak at the door, she thought it was Wei Ying back, and when she looked up again, the person who entered was actually Su Changming!
Joan was also startled, and her first reaction was to slap the table and stand up, but her legs seemed to be disobedient, she staggered and couldn't get up, she propped up the table with both hands, barely supporting herself.
"Yo, Yan'er, you drank a lot." Su Changming closed the door with a smile and walked towards her step by step.
…… Why did Su Changming come here?
Qiong Yi hunched her body, leaning against the wall to stand up straight, she hadn't yet reacted to the reason why Su Changming appeared here, she didn't dare to think about what the connection between Wei Ying, who had just walked out, and him who came in now, the faint speculation made her feel cold, she couldn't believe that Wei Ying invited her here, it would be a tailor-made trap.
The head was a little heavy, which was a precursor to dizziness, Qiong also clenched the saber string song, and the voice pressed into his throat: "Su Changming, what's in the tea?" ”
"Some...... Interesting stuff. Su Changming showed a weird smile: "These are the treasures I worked so hard to find." ”
He was vague, Qiong didn't say a word more, the true qi started from the dantian, running around her body, she pulled out the string song, like a floating light against the sword stab, Su Changming hurriedly pulled out the long sword behind her back and took it, not wanting her to be unexpectedly fast, she was almost directly slashed by the blade of the sword, and spun several times in the air to relieve the force, and touched her neck with a cold back: "Yan'er, you are so ruthless!" ”
"Shut your mouth!" The sword of Xiange overflowed with white light, and Qiong also used his true qi to suppress the feeling of drowsiness and heat on his body, and aimed at him with another sword.
Su Changming had already learned the power of her sword energy, and he didn't dare to touch it, and when he was about to dodge, he saw her swing her sword and blast towards the window, and the wooden window suddenly exploded, and Qiong didn't care about the splashing of sawdust, and jumped straight out.
Outside the window, she was greeted not by the moonlight, but by a long knife that came horizontally, with the sound of "bell-", the string song collided with the knife body, and Qiong Yi thought that there would be someone guarding outside the house, and she was caught off guard, and was knocked back into the house alive, colliding with the screen in the center of the hall. The screen fell to the ground with a "whoosh-" to reveal the other end of the ornately furnished bed, with curtains and red candles.
Qiong Yi's heart sank completely, she saw this with her own eyes, and she couldn't make a word of excuse for Wei Ying.
Su Changming's smile was a bit imperative: "Yan'er, if you delay it for a while, the poisonous effect will attack, but you won't be so energetic." ”
Qiong also only felt that the true qi in her body was running more and more slowly, and she already felt that it was almost stagnant, and as the true qi could not flow to suppress the abnormal sensation in her body, the chaos in her brain became more and more serious.
She raised her sword and pointed at Su Changming: "...... What did you poison me? ”
Su Changming looked at her cheeks that were gradually reddening, and replied with a smile: "This is a happy joy that is hard to find among Taoist couples. ”
Qiong also trembled and gritted her teeth: "...... You're nasty! ”
"Do you know what this medicine is for? Then I don't need to say more. Su Changming took off his coat and threw it on the ground, his smile became more and more obscene: "You scold me two more words, Yan'er, come, scold me, I like to listen." ”
Joan is so old that she has never heard such a request, and she was frightened back two steps by these words.
"Since I heard your singing in Yunliang Pavilion that night, I have been thinking about it day and night, you have a little temper at this point, and you also like me, Yan'er, you are good with me, treat me to marry you and be the eldest lady of the Su family."
"It's up to you...... Still want to be the Su Sect Master? Joan also pinched her arm to force herself to stay awake, and scolded angrily: "You dream! You are delusional! ”
