After Master Mao was fine, our group went down the mountain.

After this trip, everyone seemed to be preoccupied, and there was quite silence along the way. Even Aunt Gua, who had just been active in the cave, walked silently at the front at this time, and her back looked a little sluggish.

I slowed down slightly, and someone behind me caught up at a leisurely pace. The blue shadow's face was already furrowed, and the gloom dissipated. He rested his hand on the back of his head, walked briskly, and raised the two pear vortices at the corners of his mouth towards me.

"You-" I paused, staring at Hu Xiaoer's face and frowning.

"Huh?" he uttered a single tone, raising his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a hint of amusement in his eyes.

I asked a little uncertainly, "Hu Xiaoer, what happened to you in the cave just now?"

Hu Xiaoer tilted his head, his face full of doubts.

I saw that he wanted to pretend to be stupid again, so I hurriedly added: "At that time, when you heard the three words Changjuesan, there was something wrong. Hu Xiaoer, you can say it well, don't ...... Lie to me. ”

Sure enough, when he heard the word "Changjuesan", the light in his eyes dimmed for a moment, and his expression was the same as at that time, pursing his lips and looking into the distance.

"Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it. I couldn't bear to turn my head away, but as soon as I finished speaking, I heard the voice of the person beside me.

"I know someone and she's the nicest person I've ever met. But in order to get her, someone actually gave her this Gu medicine. Because she knew the way to crack Changjuesan, that person, that person cut off her tongue beforehand. After she took the medicine, she was imprisoned by the man for two years. ”

He spoke unusually calmly, but there was pain in his eyes.

"So, what about then, is she still alive?" I asked hesitantly.

Hu Xiaoer held his breath for a moment, his tone was full of despair, "She's dead...... One day two years later, her consciousness suddenly came to her senses, and she remembered the hellish days, and without hesitation, she crashed into the wall and died. ”

For some reason, my heart seemed to pinch in an instant, and I couldn't breathe so badly that I lowered my eyelids sadly, "Well, the one who killed her......"

When I raised my head again, I saw Hu Xiaoer showing two more pear vortices and looking at me very proudly.

"Woman, why do you believe everything I say?"

That's when I realized—

Hu Xiaoer, he's teasing me again!

"You...... Hu Xiaoer!" I gritted my teeth earnestly and raised the long sword in my hand towards him.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaoer begged me for mercy again and again, and hid in hiding.

This movement attracted the attention of Xiao Jiu, who was walking in front of him and was contemplative, he turned his head and asked curiously, "Senior sister, what are you talking to the little second brother?"

Hu Xiaoer took advantage of the situation to hide behind Xiao Jiu and shouted, "Xiao Jiu save me!"

I stared at that hateful hippie smile, squinted my eyes and subconsciously blurted out, "I'm talking about Changjuesan." ”

"Changjuesan?" Xiao Jiu's face became a little wrong, his brows furrowed into a ball, and he said softly, "Actually, there is something I haven't been able to figure out. ”

I was stunned, and half of the silver sword in my hand was waiting in the air. Hu Xiaoer took the opportunity to jump out and pressed it back into the scabbard with a "brush".

I snorted at him, and put down my silver sword to ignore him.

Hu Xiaoer straightened his back, patted Xiao Jiu's shoulder very steadily, and said, "Xiao Jiu, if there is anything you don't understand, just say it, and let the second brother solve your doubts for you." ”

"It's also about Changjuesan. Xiao Jiu said, "Yun Niangniang's medical book says that the efficacy of this Gu medicine is somewhat related to its dosage. If the dosage is smaller, the person who takes the medicine will have a great chance of being sober. But if the dosage is extraordinary, even if you bite off the entire base of the tongue, it is useless, and the essence and blood qi cannot resist the manipulation of yin deficiency at all. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Hu Xiaoer's face also froze.

After the master Mao took the medicine, he still had the remaining will to bite his tongue, so that he instantly sobered up and ran to the high mountain a few miles away. It means that the dose of medicine he took was not much. Xiao Jiu's eyes flickered with a little light, "I don't know if Master Mao's wife, Wu Ling, is familiar with this doorway, if she does it intentionally-"

Xiao Jiu stopped talking, and saw that Hu Xiaoer also looked like he had realized. They both looked at the same scene in silence, their eyes sinking into the distance.

I walked over their shoulders and sighed slowly, "If she did it on purpose, that's another story." ”

I don't know if it's my delusion, the melon lady who walked in front heard this, and when she wanted to turn around, she seemed to give up again and continued to walk forward.

Back at the Zhuzhu Inn, Aunt Gua suddenly looked radiant, and immediately boiled water and said that she was going to prepare a table of good dishes. Hu Xiaoer yawned and was sleepy, and rushed into the room to sleep.

Only Xiao Jiu and I were left sitting at the stone table in the courtyard. I unhurriedly brought myself a cup of tea and drank it, tasting it very seriously.

Xiao Jiu beside him was a little at a loss, he stood up and said to me cautiously: "Senior sister, I haven't slept well in the past few days, so I also went back to my room to rest." ”

I put down the teacup and looked at him with a smile, and my tone was very soft, "Wait a minute, Xiao Jiu, you sit down, Senior Sister still has something to say to you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu sat down in a panic, and looked at me with a pair of eyes showing some innocent color.

I said in a serious tone, "Xiao Jiu, when did you get here?"

Xiao Jiu's handsome face became even more innocent, "It's today, senior sister, you-"

"Huh?" I stared at him quietly, and as he spoke, he was genuinely empty.

"Actually, I came here five days ago. Xiao Jiu's gaze was a little evasive.

"Five days ago?" I said calmly, "In other words, the doctor who detoxified me that day was Xiao Jiu?"

"Hmm. He nodded, a blush on his little face.

"Okay, Xiao Jiu!" I yelled, only then did I reveal my true colors, stretched out my hand and pinched Xiao Jiu's face and said, "Since you have already come, why don't you show up?

"No, no, how could I deceive my senior sister?" Xiao Jiu hurriedly waved at me and explained, "I came to Qingquan Mountain that day and met my second brother on the way. At that time, he looked panicked and said that he wanted to find a doctor, so I went with him. I didn't expect the person to be saved turned out to be you, senior sister...... As for why I want to avoid you later, I came out secretly this time, I'm afraid that Senior Sister will tell Master after you know, then I'll ......"

His tone was low, and I let go of my hand and whispered softly, "I knew you ran away." Master stipulates that only those who have reached the age of eighteen can travel out of Jinling City. Senior brother and I are like this, Xiao Jiu, you still have two years, and you will be there later. ”

"I can't wait, senior sister!"

Xiao Jiu became aggrieved and said a little angrily, "Senior sister, since you and your senior brother left, Master's daily retreat has become longer and longer, and even Xiao Tong has gone down the mountain to visit relatives. Although I like to be quiet, I feel lonely when I go back to eating alone. Moreover, the medical book also said that the world is so big that it is full of strange flowers and plants. How can I be narrow-sighted in a mountain, a good man, and I still need to travel all over the world. ”

Seeing that he said the truth, I couldn't help but smile, and I also felt relieved to touch Xiao Jiu's head, "Our Xiao Jiu Ye has grown up." ”

Xiao Jiu frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I have grown up a long time ago, Xiao Qi, I am two years younger than you." ”

I raised my eyebrows slightly and tilted my head to look at him, "Xiao Jiu, what do you call me?"

He was speechless for a long time, but still called obediently: "Senior sister-"

I continued to rub his head in satisfaction.

Xiao Jiu didn't dare to twist his eyebrows again, only opened his eyes and looked at me expectantly, "Senior sister, then can you not send me back, and don't tell Master about my sneaking down the mountain?"

I pretended to be very embarrassed and thought about it for a long time, but finally smiled and nodded with him.

Xiao Jiu's face rarely revealed a burst of ecstasy.

"Xiao Jiu, there's one more thing. "When I calmed down, I remembered something again.

Xiao Jiu raised his face and listened to me.

"I woke up that day and it looked like I had lost some of my memory," I told him, "can I get it back?"

For a moment, Xiao Jiu's eyebrows revealed something strange.
