Chapter Twenty-Six: Panic
The house here also belongs to Qianhe Villa, and there is no one and few people know about it on weekdays, so I don't worry about anyone finding out.
Arranged for Du Xi'er to sleep, Dugujing came to the courtyard and reached out to untie his coat to reveal the fire cloud whip on his waist, and carefully untied it and put it aside.
Then he walked to the door, and when he got to the door, he glanced back.
When I turned around, I was startled when I saw Du Xi'er behind her now: "Miss Qin, aren't you asleep?"
Du Xi'er looked at him and asked, "What about you, what are you going to do?"
Dugujing hesitated: "I ...... I just ......"
Du Xi'er said with a serious face: "Are you going out alone?"
Dugujing sighed and explained: "There are only the two of us here, if I sleep down, it will be bad for the girl's reputation, and second, I will miss the time, the best way is to find the carriage now." ”
Du Xi'er bit her lip and was silent for a moment and said, "Then it should also be you resting, and I'll go find the carriage." ”
Dugujing shook his head: "No, you are not familiar with the ...... of life."
"Then I'll go with you. Du Xi'er didn't allow him to refute, and walked around him to the door.
Dugujing sighed again and had no choice but to follow.
The two secretly opened the door, and Dugujing found that Du Xi'er was tired and tired, and now she was not as impulsive as when they first met yesterday.
Du Xi'er looked out with one eye and found that there was no one in the alley outside, but Dugujing didn't move, and subconsciously looked up and found that Dugujing was looking down at herself.
Du Xi'er frowned, so frightened that Dugujing quickly withdrew his gaze, but his heart jumped. Because looking down from above, Dugujing found that Du Xi'er was so weak at that moment, and he almost forgot that she was very young.
Opening the door, the two of them looked left and right, but there was no one, and they came out of the door softly to the entrance of the alley and carefully stretched out their heads again.
Dugujing still couldn't help but ask: "I hope Miss Qin doesn't get angry if there is a question below, I don't know how old the girl is?"
Du Xi'er didn't want to answer, but after thinking about it, she asked, "Does talking to me make you sober up?"
Dugu nodded, and Du Xi'er replied, "Sixteen." ”
Twenty-eight years old.
Dugujing led Du Xi'er and asked again while moving forward cautiously: "Miss Qin, but she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child?"
Du Xi'er shook her head, but Dugujing walked in front and didn't see it, so she immediately replied: "No, I have only studied for three years." ”
"Three years?" Dugujing looked back at her in shock, "Three years to have such an achievement?" Dugujing felt that he had lived in vain for more than ten years.
Du Xi'er said: "Practicing martial arts is not something that can only be practiced for a long time, and the method is also very important. ”
Dugu Jing glanced at her secretly a few times before turning back to lead the way, and said, "Is it also a way to practice for ten hours a day?"
Du Xi'er looked at his back and said softly: "This is just my choice, not Master's request, and there are only seven or eight hours, not ten hours." ”
After a pause, Dugujing concentrated on looking at the road and did not speak, Du Xi'er asked, "How do you know that I practice for ten hours a day?"
If it weren't for the fact that she practiced every day in the Absolute Return Valley, it would be impossible for her body to survive the night with her body that had been raised in the boudoir for more than ten years, and even her energy at the moment was better than that of Dugujing.
Dugujing leaned against the corner and yawned, rubbed his eyes vigorously and said: "There is a martial idiot senior in Wulin, that is, he ties a bandage to his hand, and there is also a martial idiot peer. ”
Du Xi'er said: "Drunk and infatuated with pipa music, is the 'infatuation' in it right?"
Dugu nodded: "Exactly, Miss Qin knows this very well?"
Du Xi'er shook her head, and immediately changed her mouth to speak: "That's not the case, this senior also went to the Absolute Return Valley back then, in order to learn swords. ”
Dugu Jing seemed to be a lot more sober immediately, and Du Xi'er's words reminded him of what happened to Dugu Ze's introduction to Qin Guiyu last night.
“...... led more than 1,000 famous cult demons who did all kinds of evil to turn the rivers and lakes upside down, and countless decent martial arts people died tragically......"
“...... Fabricate the sword god's relics to attract swordsmen from the rivers and lakes, and kill countless swordsmen......"
“...... A ruthless murderer, full of evil, everyone will be punished......"
Dugujing didn't know what to do for a while, and asked with a thought that came from nowhere: "Which senior is ...... now?"
Du Xi'er said: "It's still in the valley, but I can't get out of the valley without my master's consent." ”
Dugujing was stunned for a moment, then turned around again and stared down at the person behind him.
Du Xi'er looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dugujing asked, "Is he still alive?"
Du Xi'er flattened his mouth and said, "Of course, almost all the swordsmen who entered the Valley of Absolute Return are still alive. ”
"Really?" Dugujing suddenly felt no sleepy, how much trouble would this matter cause if it spread out of the rivers and lakes?
Du Xi'er nodded slightly: "Of course, otherwise how can I learn the swordsmanship of the Huashan faction, the Qingcheng faction, the Wudang Mountain, the Caiyi Pavilion and the Kaifeng Wang family?"
Dugu Jing was extremely envious: "The swordsmanship I told Old Man Xue before that I knew it was true?"
Du Xi'er still looked up at him and nodded again: "Of course." And he never forced anyone, it was all obtained by the master in exchange for the sword technique of the sword god ancestor. In order to prevent the spread of the Sword God Sword Technique, no one is allowed to leave the Valley of Absolute Return, and they are all informed in advance, so people are willing to stay. ”
Dugu Jing said curiously: "Won't anyone pretend to agree and leave after learning?"
Du Xi'er still looked up at him and continued to nod: "Yes, they are all dead, presumably this is the reason why it is rumored that the master killed the swordsman." ”
"This ......" was a little happy to hear that the Qin Valley Lord did not kill anyone, but suddenly heard that some swordsmen had died, Dugu Jing was a little uncomfortable and said, "Is this also told in advance?"
Du Xi'er raised his head to see that his expression had not changed and said: "Exactly, I have been told before entering the valley that since I have violated the rules of the valley, I will naturally have to bear the consequences." ”
Dugujing seems to suddenly feel that the Qin Valley Lord doesn't seem to be so evil, and the Qin girl is more cute than before.
His head suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and Dugu Jing said: "Why do we have to find the carriage by ourselves, isn't it safer to find someone who doesn't know us to replace us?"
Du Xi'er suddenly woke up: "That's true." ”
The two didn't go far, so they went back the way they came.
On the way, Du Xi'er knocked on a house directly, and it was an old man who opened the door.
Du Xi'er said eagerly: "Old man, my brother is seriously ill and dying, I heard that Dr. Chen in Tongping Town is a miracle doctor, can you trouble the old man to help call a carriage?"
The old man stretched out his head to look at Dugujing, who was leaning against the corner, and saw Dugujing's eyes pale, and Du Xi'er looked young, so he nodded and agreed without doubt.
After a long time, the old man finally came back, and the two got into the carriage smoothly, and found that in addition to the bedding necessary for the long journey, the carriage also prepared some dry food.
The two were grateful and left some silver taels, but they were returned by the old man. Because of the lie of curing the disease first, Du Xi'er stopped insisting and thanked him and left.
The carriage was on the road normally, and it went out of Lizhou City from the West Gate smoothly, and there were some accidents smoothly.
Dugujing's face was melancholy, and he whispered: "It's too smooth, I'm afraid there will be changes." ”
Du Xi'er comforted: "Maybe the old man's arrangement is proper and has not attracted the attention of others." ”
Dugu Jing said: "My husband and we are kind, once this matter is over, we will definitely come to the door again to thank you." ”
Du Xi'er nodded in agreement.
Dugujing secretly glanced at her again and found that she looked very good when she nodded.
Du Xi'er didn't notice the change in Dugujing's expression, and said: "You have a good rest first, you should be safe for the time being, if there is a change, I will call you." ”
Dugu Jing originally disagreed, but Du Xi'er's internal strength was deeper and he couldn't support it like him, and Du Xi'er also insisted, Dugu Jing really couldn't hold it, so he agreed.
After all, Dugujing's internal strength dried up twice last night.
In a daze, Dugujing seemed to feel that someone had touched his head, but he was too sleepy to open his eyes, and fell asleep again after a while.
By the time Dugujing woke up, it was already sunset, and it was dark all around. Looking up, I couldn't see anything in the dark, and I felt that I was still lying in the carriage, so I immediately got up.
But when I moved, something was touched next to my head, and I reached out and touched it and found that it was a ball of bedding, and then I remembered that I felt someone touch me in my sleep, and it turned out that I had touched the futon.
Presumably, the Qin girl was afraid that she would hit the wall of the carriage, so she put herself on the mat, and she was grateful.
Suddenly, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Du Xi'er's silhouette appeared outside: "Childe, are you awake?"
A "childe" made Dugujing's eyes moist, but fortunately it was dark and he couldn't see, and replied: "Wake up, thank you Miss Qin for taking care of you." ”
Du Xi'er shook her head and said, "I didn't do anything, I ...... Thank you even more. Get out of the car, we'll spend the night here tonight. ”
After getting out of the carriage, he saw that the coachman had collected a handful of dry firewood and was preparing to make a fire, so he hurriedly went up to help.
The three of them ate some dry food to fill their stomachs, and Dugujing asked Du Xi'er to go back to the carriage to rest, while he sat by the fire with the coachman. After a while, the coachman also wrapped himself in the futon and went to sleep.
In the firelight, Dugujing thought carefully, he still felt that going out of the city was too smooth, if those people were searching for him, how could he definitely leave a carriage out of the city?
I've been active for a long time since I woke up, and my head is getting clearer and clearer, and suddenly Dugujing looks at the coachman who is sleeping with him.
The coachman knew that he was seriously ill and went to Tongping Town to seek medical treatment, and this matter could be heard from the conversation between the Qin girl and the old man when he got on the car, not to mention that he had been pretending to be sick and had never come out of the carriage.
Why is it that the other party is not surprised when he is refreshed now?
Dugujing stood up slowly, his eyes fixed on the coachman, but he moved towards the carriage without moving.
The back touched the carriage, the carriage shook slightly, and Du Xi'er's extremely small voice came from the window: "What happened?"
It turned out that Du Xi'er hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when she felt the carriage shaking, she found out that it was Dugujing from the gap in the curtain, so she asked in a low voice.
Dugujing said his conjecture, and his voice was not too hidden.
The coachman turned over and got up and sighed: "Childe, Miss, my old Yang Tou has lived in Lizhou City for more than ten years, and I have seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes. From the very beginning, I learned to just do and not talk, so don't embarrass me......"
The coachman chattered for a long time, listening to Dugujing was embarrassed for a while, and Du Xi'er in the carriage behind him lay down and fell asleep again when the coachman was just halfway through speaking, which made Dugujing even more embarrassed.
So he was busy apologizing, and the coachman sighed and fell asleep for a long time.
