Chapter 144: Striking the West
The courtyard door was opened, Chai Shien, Liao Shui, and Jin Hui turned their heads together, their hands had already touched the hilt of the sword, and it would be unsheathed at any time.
"This?" Jin Hui couldn't turn a corner for a while, walked down the steps in a few steps, stretched his neck and looked nervously behind Shopkeeper Li, Shopkeeper Li stopped him back, "Don't look, he didn't come." I think I'm going out for something, and I'll take you to see him myself later. There's something to do in the shop right now, you see?"
Shopkeeper Li's gaze swept over the faces of the three of them, he meant that he hoped that they would stay, but Jin Hui was in a hurry to leave here, "Since Shopkeeper Li still has important matters, then we won't bother." Come back later, visit later!"
He pulled up Chai Shien, and glanced at Liao Shui before leaving. Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said, "Then where am I going to find you?" Jin Hui reported the name of the small teahouse and left in a hurry.
Walking out of the small courtyard of Sanli Lane, when the sun was shining overhead, Jin Hui experienced two completely different feelings. His heart seemed to contain a piece of ice, but when it was basked by the sun, it was like fire. One cold and one hot, so he didn't know whether it was a cold sweat or a hot sweat.
"Let's go, let's go!" Jin Hui began to regret that he really shouldn't have agreed to them so easily, if the black cloak followed Shopkeeper Li into the small courtyard, he didn't know if he would be able to catch his breath now.
"You're still a man, why are you afraid of being like this?" Liao Shui still despised Jin Hui, but this time Jin Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't refute. Chai Shien's brows were furrowed tightly, this situation was actually the worst for him.
The black cloak was uncertain, and even the shopkeeper Li was not sure that he would be found somewhere. The longer the time drags on, the greater the variables, and he can't wait to see this person immediately.
At this moment, a cool breeze blew from behind the fallen leaves, Chai Shien felt a cold neck, subconsciously shrunk, and looked back behind him. This didn't matter, a black shadow flashed, and intuition made Chai Shien quickly follow!
"Where are you going?" Liao Shui shouted behind him, but Jin Hui was like a frightened bird, seeing Chai Shien running alone, he couldn't let Liao Shui go. Under his drag, Chai Shien had already run away without a trace. Liao Shui stomped his feet angrily, wanting to complain about Jin Hui for a few words, but seeing that he looked very flattering, he had to give up with a long sigh.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and it is not easy to get through them quickly. Chai Shien's eyes were fixed on the black shadow in front of him, trying to catch up with him as fast as he could. He even began to think in his heart about how he would not hurt the innocent if he started with that man.
The black-cloaked man slowed down, and by this time he was far away from the city. Chai Shien was happy in his heart, this was exactly what he wanted, remote, without pedestrians. He hurried a few steps to catch up, and the man stopped, and stood under a large tree, holding on to the trunk, as if waiting for his arrival.
Chai Shien slapped the man on the shoulder hard, and it was a moment of contact that made him realize that something was wrong. The man's shoulders were very thin, and he didn't use any force, but he shook him a few times, as if he couldn't stand firmly. The heavy wheezing voice told Chai Shien that this person was in poor health, and this was definitely not the person he was looking for!
"Childe!" the man turned, and under the wide hood was a pale face. Chai Shien was almost startled by this person, on that bloodless face, there were abscesses, and there was a blue-yellow thing flowing out, making Chai Shien subconsciously take a step back, not daring to approach.
"Is there something you called me?" the man coughed a few times, and his body shook as well. Chai Shien said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I, I recognized the wrong person! The person I'm looking for is the same as you, and he is wearing a black cloak!"
The man smiled bitterly, "Childe said that I was laughing, I was wearing a cloak, but I was afraid of scaring passers-by, who would wear the same cloak as me? Chai Shien sighed in his heart, "He is also a poor man!"
But at the moment of turning around, Chai Shien suddenly slapped his head, "No, I saw that he was terminally ill, but I couldn't catch up with him before." No, no!" Chai Shien finally came to his senses and wanted to look for the man's figure again, but he couldn't find it anymore!
Chai Shien repentantly punched the tree, and the leaves fell one after another because of the violent tremors. If it weren't for his negligence, he would have ended the battle at this moment, joined up with Liao Shui and Jin Hui, and discussed the matter of returning to the Fog Xuan Palace.
Thinking of Liao Shui, Chai Shien's heart was panched again, he carelessly threw this reckless senior sister to Jin Hui, who was as timid as a mouse, and could leave Liao Shui to escape by himself at any time.
"Damn!" Chai Shien immediately turned back, and where they separated, there was no trace of Liao Shui and Jin Hui.
Chai Shien wanted to give himself a few slaps, but he didn't. He retreated to a nondescript corner of the street and sat down, trying to calm himself. He had to find them as soon as possible, but Chai Shien was prepared not to find them at all.
"This sister-in-law, have you seen two people dressed as Taoist priests, one of whom has a round face and big eyes!" Chai Shien began to ask in the nearby crowd if anyone had seen Liao Shui and Jin Hui. Unfortunately, the answers he received were all negative, and no one had ever seen them. Chai Shien began to suspect that Liao Shui and Jin Hui had gone somewhere else when he chased the black cloak away.
Nervousness and panic made Chai Shien confused, and he began to walk back and forth on this street aimlessly, and he even wanted to return to the Wuxuan Palace immediately to ask Yun Song for an idea.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the oblique spur and vigorously pulled Chai Shien into a dead end. Chai Shien raised his fist and struck, but heard a familiar voice say urgently, "Don't fight, don't fight, it's me!"
It's Jin Hui! Chai Shien grabbed him, "What about my senior sister, is my senior sister with you, where have you been?" There was no Liao Shui behind Jin Hui, and Chai Shien's heart sank again. Jin Hui said with a crying voice, "Not long after you left, that person appeared. Without saying a word, he knocked out your senior sister and took her away by the shoulder!"
"What about you, what have you done?" Chai Shien yelled at Jin Hui, even though he knew that Jin Hui couldn't do anything in the face of that man.
