"I don't think it's ugly at all." Sheng Xuan didn't think about it, and blurted out.

Qiong also exhaled deeply and met his gaze: "When Uncle Chen bought me from a cattle and sheep dealer, there was a large piece of meat missing from his shoulder, and he cut it neatly, without hurting his shoulder bones and arms. It's just that the treatment is not timely, and the wound is repeatedly infected, leaving a deep scar. ”

"I don't remember when I was too young, but Ah Luo told me this."

"When Uncle Chen rescued me, there was still a piece of jade hidden in that package, so he named me 'Qiongyi', but later, the piece of jade was lost." Qiong Yi said in a deep voice: "The jade was thrown into the deep lake behind the White Cliff Mountain, and there is no possibility of finding it. ”

"Aside from the jade, the only clue is this scar, which is related to the location of Dorna's tattoo, and I guess it may be a tattoo that has been cut off, maybe it was too much of an eyesore or something else, so it was cut off. Most of the cattle and sheep traders came from the west, so maybe I really am from Xijon. ”

"Qiong Yi, your eyes are also very special." Sheng Xuanyan looked at her eyes and said lightly, "Purple-like eyes are rare." ”

"Really?"

"Well, some tribes will have physical characteristics, which is easy to distinguish."

"But I look like a Middle-earther."

Looking at her upright and soft appearance, Sheng Xuan was noncommittal, and said in his heart, looking like a Jiangnan person.

"The West Desert has been faintly rioting since the beginning of autumn, and there is no need to rush if you know that you have something to do with that side, you can postpone for a while and then investigate." He said.

"Hmm." Qiong also nodded, thinking to herself: Even the investigation in the Western Desert is not a small area, but it is better than looking for it aimlessly in this vast land of Shenzhou.

"They...... Why did you throw me away? She looked into the distance and said suddenly.

"Sheng Jun, you know what? When I was a child, I envied those children who had fathers and mothers. She sat on the edge of the boat and said flatly: "When I was a child, I fought with the children who bullied Ah Luo, and when I fought fiercely, they would say, 'I called my father', I was beaten, I couldn't cry, and I didn't have a father and a mother." ”

"Joan is also ......"

"I really want to find them and ask them."

"But I'm afraid, compared to them throwing me away because they don't like me and dislike me, I'm actually ...... I'm even more afraid that they are no longer there. ”

Sheng Xuan sat down beside her: "Don't think about it, it won't." He looked up, trying to see the stars in the dark night sky, "There may have been an accident that caused you to be separated, and maybe they have been looking for you all these years." ”

Qiong Yi also raised her head, she couldn't see the stars, but after turning her head, she saw it in Sheng Xuan's resentful eyes.

He asked, "Will you go to Guma Rock to find Dorna?" ”

"Well, I hope it won't bother him too much." Qiong also moved her lips, "Sheng Xuan, in fact, I ......"

"What?"

"We're going to have exams when we go back to school, what should I do with my arithmetic? There are also articles to memorize, how to review ......? ”

Sheng Xuan was stunned, thinking of her requirements for assessing the "full armor", a sense of panic struck: "...... It's a big question. ”

"When we transfer tomorrow, we will buy some paper and pencils, and we will have more leisure time on the road, so we will hurry up and make up for it." He pondered deeply: "We will ponder the arithmetic together, and as for the articles and poems, we have to consult Brother Yan......

Joan also clasped her hands together: "...... Arithmetic is the greatest metaphysics. ”

On the noisy passenger ship, it was supposed to be a place to rest and rest, but I didn't want three people to review their homework. Su Ye watched the three of them bury their heads in study, blowing the wind and eating meat at the bow of the boat, being idle and proud, and living happily.

"It's good that you don't have to go back to school! It's nice not to have an exam! He stretched and clasped his hands behind his head in a leisurely manner.

Su Ye didn't take the test or care, but he wanted to show off in front of them, and was turned away by the three of them, saying that he liked to blow the wind and let him go to the bow of the boat to drink the northwest wind.

In the past few days, the most Qiong Yi heard Sheng Xuan's complaint say, is the tail okay? Nothing will happen, right?

He subconsciously muttered to himself, wishing he could return to the school sooner.

Qiong Yi also thought: I have disappeared for so long, will my junior brothers and sisters look for me? The disappearance of four people is not a trivial matter, two of them are still the young masters of the big clan, in case the matter is big and spreads to the master, Ah Luo will know, she is afraid that she will not worry about me to death.

Even if they returned to their hearts like arrows, the four of them couldn't put on their wings and fly back immediately, and the carriages and horses hurried away, which took a long time.

From Yeling Pass to Yichuan, the journey took 12 days. When they arrived in Yize, the three of them said goodbye to Su Ye, and then rushed to Qingfeng Town, returning to the school after a day and a half.

When they returned to the school, they were immediately taken to the elders and scolded and punished. Sheng Xuan, who was silent during the training, immediately went to his lodging to find the tail after walking out of the door, but when he walked into the small courtyard that he had not returned for a long time, the tail was no longer inside.

"Tail?"

He shouted in the yard, rummaged in the corners and corners, looked inside and outside the house, and never found the brown-haired puppy.

Sheng Xuanyan finally had to accept the fact that the tail was gone.

It doesn't leave, it stays here and has no food to eat, it just starves to death. Sheng Xuan resented and comforted himself and thought about the benefits: Before, the tail could hunt by itself, and nothing would happen, I didn't take care of it, and it should go away.

When Joan found out about this, she sat with him in the verandah for a long time.

I thought that the elder's punishment was all punishment, and I didn't want the masters of each department to have disappeared for more than ten days for no reason, so they not only admonished them in the classroom, but also let them stay in the classroom after class to punish them.

It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. Qiong also scolded and said secretly: Miserable.

So after the school ended, the rest of the disciples left, and only two remained in the classroom to copy the scriptures. Lu Li hadn't seen his senior sister for a long time, so he also came to the side to make up the numbers, and while asking what had happened in the past ten days, he helped Qiong also write.

Seeing that Qiong Ye was perfunctory, copying the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and the strange grass, Lu Li shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly stopped writing and asked her to finish writing by herself.

"It's just two people's words!"

"It's originally the words of two people!" Qiong Yi was not embarrassed at all, and pressed his hand, "Good junior brother, help me copy a few more pages!" ”

Lu Li clasped his hands together and lowered his head: "Senior sister! Ask for more blessings! If Master had known that I had written for you, I would have to sit down and be punished. ”

Qiong also sighed and continued to walk the dragon snake: "We were just going to a lantern festival, and I didn't want to go to that strange place, but I encountered strange things, and it turned out to be so far away. ”

"What happened? Tell me about it. ”

She dipped it in ink and flattened the tip of the pen on the edge of the research table, "That's probably how it went...... Accidentally broke into the legendary ghost land, Stygian, and then saved a good-looking man, and fought with a fox demon in order to save him. That's all. In order not to worry her junior brother, she specially omitted Su Changming, who caused the most trouble.

Lu Li was surprised, and couldn't help but ask about the details of the matter, Qiong Yi only planned to prevaricate in a few words, and when he asked again, he forcibly interrupted him: "Okay, I still have to concentrate on writing, and if you don't help, it's still disturbing to stay here, so it's better to go back early." When Lu Li heard that Qiong was also driving him away, he made a pitiful look and said: "I haven't seen you for so many days, and my senior sister doesn't care about my younger brothers and sisters, so I am ruthless." ”

"Hey!" Qiong Yibai glanced at him, and Gu copied the book.

Late at night, she hadn't finished copying half of the scriptures, shook her sore arm, and looked to see the thick stack that Sheng Xuan had copied, and the ink was almost flying out on the paper, and there were not a few broken pens on a page of scriptures, and she couldn't help but secretly say: This word is really not something that ordinary people can write...... Uh, wild?

"Don't copy it." Sheng Xuanyan put down his pen and sighed.

Seeing that his sighing appearance was a little funny, Qiong also laughed softly, "Let's write it tomorrow." After speaking, he went to pat Lu Li, who was asleep on the table.

Sheng Xuan put away the table, turned his wrist, and admired Su Ye's stunt of copying books in his heart.

After waking up Lu Li, the three of them left the school together and returned to their lodgings.

In the days when Joan was away, Zhu Yunluo wrote her many more letters.

Originally, as soon as she received Ah Luo's letter, she would immediately reply to it, but she didn't reply to the letter in the half month that she was away from the school, which made Zhu Yunluo worried, and wrote more letters to ask about the current situation.

When I opened the letter, the content was as usual to ask for warmth, and I would chat with her about some homely things.

Joan has always reported good news and not bad news, made friends in the school, took the first grade, and won the competition, she wrote the same letter to the letter, but she met a hanged ghost and was framed by a villain, she didn't say a word.

This time, when it came to the matter of the underworld, of course, she would not have written it into the letter.

*

The tail was found three days later.

To be precise, it was the tail that took the initiative to find Sheng Xuan's grievances.

Early in the morning of this day, Sheng Xuanyan, who came to the foot of Nanshan to practice swords as usual, only heard a burst of excited dog barking, and then saw the tail running desperately towards him in the sound of the rapid footsteps of the fallen leaves cutting through the soil.

Half a moon is gone, the tail has grown again, and it is obviously thin, but the body is much stronger and slender.

"Tail!"

Sheng Xuanyan put away his saber and ran towards it, was jumped high by the tail, and pounced on the ground, it licked Sheng Xuanyan's face enthusiastically, its paws pulled straight at his chest, and its furry tail shook quickly.

Sheng Xuanyan covered his face with his hand, sat up and smiled: "Tail, don't lick it!" He pressed the dog's head with one hand, and didn't care whether the tail could understand or not, and said to himself: "It's great to see you jumping around...... How did you survive all these days? I lost more than a lap of weight. ”

The tail didn't understand it, and only barked at him twice, and narrowed his big black eyes with pleasure when he was touched on the head.

How could it know about the troubles that humans were in. It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time, and I miss him very much.

When Sheng Xuan's resentful gaze moved away from his tail, he noticed that in the forest not far away, there were still a few sneaky dogs.

He stood up, his tail howled loudly into the forest, and after a while, four or five dogs, large and small, ran out and lined up in a neat row in front of him, the picture was too impactful, so that the corners of Sheng Xuan's mouth twitched twice unconsciously: In the days when he was away, the tail actually went to be the boss.

He suddenly felt that the tail he had raised was really condescending to be locked in the yard.

Qiong Yi was yawning and rushed to practice swordsmanship, when she saw this bizarre scene in front of her: Sheng Xuan, who was surrounded by many dogs, had a difficult face and cast a look at her as if asking for help.

"Poof-" Joan was also choked by herself, and she didn't understand what was going on, but she smiled first: "Hahahahahaha ”

She approached and took a closer look at the dogs, and in addition to the tail that ran back, there were three dogs about the size of the tail, and a dirty female dog with a puppy, if Joan guessed correctly, it was most likely the siblings whose tail had been separated from the beginning, and his mother.

The tail ran to Qiong Yi's feet and looked at it, begging for a touch, Qiong Yi rubbed its head and said, "Sheng Jun, the tail seems to have found its family." ”

Sheng Xuan was a little silent: "...... Is it? ”

He paused for a long time: "So, it's coming back to say goodbye to me?" ”

The tail tilted his head, and a few puppies behind him started to make a head, and the rest all barked, and the tail turned around and barked twice, and they stopped barking, and then the tail habitually rubbed under his legs.

"You're not taking it in temporarily, are you really trying to raise it?" Qiong Yi was surprised and asked, "When you have annual leave, do you want to take it back to Luoya?" It's a long way. ”

"Hmm." Since he picked up the fierce puppy back, Sheng Xuanyan decided to raise it: "Since then, I have thought about bringing it back." ”

"But it's tiring, it's a lot of tossing, and there's its companion here." No matter how Qiong thought about it, it was better to leave the tail, it had nothing to do with Sheng Xuan's resentment for so long, and it stands to reason that it was basically self-reliant.

Sheng Xuan shook his head resentfully: "Since I have raised it, it will always be mine, and it is natural for me to take it away." ”

Joan also let out a soft "ah", thinking that she did not agree with his words, and said, "If I leave it alone, it will wander." ”

"Yes." Joan also shrugged and looked down at the big eyes, "Tail, what about your decision?" ”

The tail put his paw on Sheng Xuanyan's leg and raised his head.

Qiong also smiled: "When you go to Luoya, I will miss you." ”
