023 Chapter 9 Lotus Picking 002
When the two saw that he even said "the surname of the father", they knew that what he said would not be false. Mei Zhanxue asked the location of Mingyue Hua'an, threw the silver into his stall owner's drawer, and dragged Chu Qingliu back to the inn to get the horse. Chu Qingliu saw that Gongqi was accompanying the two women to burn incense, so he was reluctant to bother to take the horse and then follow him to the east of the city.
Mei Zhanxue said: "What's the matter? Are there no bad people among women? Are there no women in the Chaos Alliance? You just look down on women like this? I don't think that Lin is a good person, and that Miss Lin and Miss Qu are not good people, can a good person mix with Gongqi? Haven't you heard of the phrase that people are like clusters and groups are grouped?" Chu Qingliu said that she was just a good person, and seeing that she was rarely interested, he no longer insisted on his opinion. I went back to the store to get the horse, and when I went out of the east gate of Gwangju, the shadows of the three of them were long gone.
This month, Hua'an was built in a town about 156 miles away from the city, and there are two rivers that converge here, one large and one small, and the place name is called Shuanghe. Yuehua Nunnery is built close to the river, not very large, small three-entry courtyard. I don't know what day it is, all kinds of businesses are gathered in the empty field in front of the temple, and there are even people who are playing tricks, which is very lively.
Chu Qingliu looked for a secluded place to guard the horses, Mei Zhanxue went into the nunnery to find someone, and looked for two or three times inside and out, but she couldn't see anyone at all, so she had to come back and tell Chu Qingliu. Chu Qingliu said: "If you can't find it, you can't find it, and when you get to Macheng, you will know everything." Let's take a look around and relax. He interrupted again: "You only ate a few bites of the meat cake just now, do you want to eat a little more?"
It was easy to divert the conversation, find a storefront to store the horses, and look along the river.
At that time, the Qingming Dynasty has passed, and the lotus leaves in the small river have grown most of the water, and from time to time there are small boats out of the lotus, or even a family living on the boat, which can be seen. After walking for a while, Mei Zhanxue's eyes were sharp, and she saw that there was a white lotus hidden in the depths of the green lotus. The new flowers are beginning to bloom, surrounded by layers of petals, very much like a big goose egg, but more pure and flawless than the goose egg, and lighter, swaying with the wind from time to time. Mei Zhanxue said: "Second brother, I want that lotus." Chu Qingliu had long known that nothing good would happen to her as soon as she called her second brother, but she didn't expect it to be this problem.
That white lotus was a foot away from the shore, and Chu Qingliu couldn't touch it even with a long sword, let alone pick it. If you jump over, and you have nowhere to stay and borrow strength after picking flowers, how can you turn around and jump back? As a last resort, you have to pretend to try a few times, turn around and spread your hands to Mei Zhanxue's stall, and then want to walk away. Mei Zhanxue pursed her lips and said, "If the eldest brother wants to, he will have a way." ”
Chu Qingliu had no doubts about this, the eldest brother had long hands and long feet, and he would definitely be able to touch farther, even if he couldn't reach it, he would take off his shoes and go into the water. But after all, he can't be as crazy as his eldest brother, so he has to find another way. The boats in the river came and went, and he wanted to open his mouth several times to ask for help, but he was discouraged several times, so he looked around to see if he could find a long pole and long branches to use, and secretly hated why this lotus flower bloomed so early.
After turning around twice, as soon as I looked up, I saw a woman standing on the shore not far away, vaguely Miss Qu, but there was only one person, Miss Lin Gongqi was not beside her. At this time, it was close, and the clothes and faces were delicate. She was dressed in a big red and dark flower cardigan, black leather boots, and a pure black gem the size of a little finger under each earlobe.
Chu Qingliu didn't know how long she had been watching on the side, looking at its color, her embarrassment had already fallen into this person's eyes, and she hurriedly turned around in a panic. Mei Zhanxue had also recognized this Miss Qu, and when she saw the ridicule in her eyes, she couldn't help but be furious, and said, "What do you see? Haven't you seen lotus flowers? What's so funny?"
The young lady Qu smiled and said: "Of course I have seen lotus picking, but I haven't seen it yet." Stretch out your hand, will the flower fly to your hand?What kind of kung fu is this practice?" When she said this, even Chu Qingliu became angry.
Mei Zhanxue was about to sneer at each other, when she suddenly heard the noise of the people behind her, mixed with the low scolding of men, the screams of women, and the loud cries of children.
As soon as the two of them reached the top of the shore, they saw five or six big dogs coming from the opposite side with their long tongues sticking out of their mouths and sharp teeth piercing the eyes. Behind the group of dogs, followed by a vulgar man in brocade clothes, he saw that everyone tried their best to avoid it, and he didn't dare to come out, and his oily face was full of self-satisfaction, but he was also majestic.
It's also a good thing, and there are two big dogs who suddenly snort at each other for some reason. A little girl standing on the side could barely stand still, but when she heard this hum, she screamed, cried and ran away, and the two big dogs didn't hum anymore, and chased after the little girl, and the group of dogs moved when they heard the sound and hugged each other. The vulgar man shouted twice, and when he saw that the dogs refused to obey his orders, he was frightened.
Chu Qingliu and Mei Zhanxue were too far away, and it was too late to rescue at this time, so they still tried their best to run towards the little girl. During the run, Chu Qingliu shot out a stone, but he had no choice but to take into account that there were pedestrians on both sides, and he didn't dare to use the rain technique, and a handful of stones was only used as three or five stones, and only hit the last two dogs. Mei Zhanxue's fundus needles can't reach far, and there is no powder benefit to use them, so she is in a hurry. Seeing that the dog had bitten the back of the little girl's clothes, Mei Zhanxue couldn't bear to look at it anymore, stopped, turned around and covered her eyes.
Chu Qingliu ran a few feet closer, and the two stones shot again, attacking the first two dogs, whether he could save the child safely, he was really unsure in his heart.
was in a hurry, the red shadow flashed in front of him, and one person had already arrived first, reaching out to hold the little girl in his hand, it was that Miss Qu.
Miss Qu picked up the girl, and her right foot was spun up, kicking at the root of a dog's ear. The dog was so badly injured that he screamed and immediately rolled to the ground, and although he was not killed, he could no longer stand up and hurt anyone.
Chu Qingliu cut off the neck of a dog with his right palm, and kicked a dog in the belly with his left foot, and the remaining three dogs did not dare to step forward, but they still surrounded the two of them and did not retreat. Chu Qingliu was about to kill again, when a black and strong man walked out of the crowd, looked at a few dogs, saluted Miss Qu with his fists, and asked, "Miss, to stay or not to stay?"
Miss Qu shook her head slightly, but her expression was extremely impatient. The black man laughed a few times, bent down and stretched out his hands, grabbed the back of a dog's neck with one hand, exhaled and opened the sound, hit each other with both hands, and the sound of the dog's head shattering sounded twice, and he threw the dog corpse away, so it hit three times, and the dog was injured and killed.
After the strong man finished killing the dog, he was still unsatisfied, and strode towards the brocade-clothed man. Seeing that it was not good, the man fell to his knees with a thud, only kowtowed, and could not even say a word of begging for mercy.
Miss Qu said, "Don't hurt his life." The black man was surprised: "Didn't Miss say that she wouldn't stay?" Miss Qu ignored him and lowered her head to coax the girl. The little girl was so frightened that she was already crying and sweating. Miss Qu had nothing to do, called the black man, and whispered a few words, and the words were extremely strange.
The black man took out the short knife at his waist, stabbed a dog's throat, cut off a small bunch of dog hair, dipped his fingers in some blood, and clicked a little on the girl's eyebrows and temples on both sides, blew up the fire fold, and put the dog hair in front of the girl and lit it. A scorching stench wafted by, and the girl stopped crying.
Miss Qu put the girl down, surrounded her to ease her pupils, humming and singing softly in her mouth, and the words were very strange, but Chu Qingliu and Mei Zhanxue couldn't understand a word. The melody is desolate and peaceful, but it is very comfortable and peaceful after entering the ears.
After singing two or three laps, the girl's eyes were already bright, and she no longer looked like she was absent. Miss Qu picked up the girl and said, "Look, what's there to be afraid of big dogs? Didn't you tell your sister to beat them to death? You go home and eat well, grow up quickly, grow up, and your sister will teach you how to beat dogs, so you don't have to be afraid of dogs." You are still young at this time, and when you see a big dog, you will stay away from it. ”
The girl nodded again and again, looked down and saw that her clothes were torn by the dog, and the tears were about to fall again. Miss Qu smiled: "A little child, you know whether it looks good or not?" took out a little broken silver and stuffed it into her hand, and said, "Go back to your mother, ask her to make you another flower dress, she won't scold you." A woman came out of the crowd, who seemed to be the girl's mother, took the girl and went with great gratitude.
Miss Qu turned around, her face was full of frost, and she said to the black man: "Save his life first, and ask him who he is." As soon as everyone heard this, they scattered in an instant, leaving only Chu Qingliu and Mei Zhanxue still on the spot.
The black man walked towards the brocade-clothed man, raised his face and slapped him, half of the man's face was swollen, and blood flowed wildly from his nostrils and mouth. The black man asked a few words, then turned around and said, "Miss, his brother is the housekeeper of Lin Fang's family, and this kid is in charge of walking the dog, so he can't walk so far somehow." Miss Qu said, "Leave him alone." He asked him to tell Lin Fang about this matter himself, and asked Lin Fang to watch and handle it. ”
The black man replied and said to the vulgar man: "Miss, have you heard all the words?" The vulgar man couldn't wipe the blood off his face, and nodded again and again. The black man kicked him in the ass and said, "Get out." The vulgar man lowered his head and ran, just took a few steps, and received another crisp slap in the face, and when he looked up, it was his own Miss Lin and the surnamed Gong. Recalling the slap just now, it looked like it was beaten by the young lady, so I didn't dare to talk, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, got up and lowered my head and ran away.
Miss Lin approached Miss Qu and said with a smile: "These dogs are using the power of people and rushing into my sister, and I will beat them with a whip when I turn around." Miss Qu said, "It's not so easy to hit me. I just don't understand what's the use of keeping these things. ”
Miss Lin didn't talk back, she just smiled. Mei Zhanxue said: "What else don't you understand about this? This is because there is a lot of money and nowhere to go, first raised a few aunts, and then raised some fox friends and dog friends, but they still can't use it up, so they use it to raise dogs again, and play prestige." ”
Obviously sneering at Miss Lin, and secretly abducting Miss Qu Gongqi together, especially the tone of expression, as long as the ears are not deaf and the eyes are not dazzling, you must not pretend not to know. Miss Lin immediately said: "What do you mean by a fox friend and a dog friend? Who are the fox friends and dog friends?" Although Miss Lin didn't see Chu Qingliu picking lotus being laughed at, Mei Zhanxue was dissatisfied with Miss Qu, but it was not difficult to see who was a fool in this world?
Mei Zhanxue said: "Who is the fox friend and dog friend, who knows for himself!
Miss Qu's face was red and swollen, and she suppressed her anger before she attacked. The black man said first: "Where did the wild girl come from, talking so rudely?" Miss Qu turned her head slightly and said, "It's none of your business here, you bring the dead dog to eat meat, and no one is allowed to stay." ”
The black man said: "Thank you, Miss, for rewarding the meat." With a roar, two people rushed over in the distance, bent down to salute Miss Qu, and then moved to carry or coerce, and picked up six dead dogs. Miss Qu said: "You only eat meat when you eat meat, and you only drink wine when you drink, but you are not allowed to cause trouble, and you can't miss the right thing, otherwise you will all go back." The three nodded yes and left with the dead dog.
