"Which boy in white are you talking about?"

Aunt Gua asked very carefully.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaoer put down the dishes and chopsticks and told her about meeting the young man in white on the edge of the lava river that day.

At the end, he ate the dish again, and did not forget to add: "Aunt Gua, do you know the identity of the young man?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" she waved her hand without thinking, "Although Aunt Gua is an inquisitive person, how can she know everything? There are so many young people in the sword-forging generation at the bottom of the mountain, how can Aunt Gua know any teenager?"

I remembered the heroic performance of the young man in white that day, and explained to Aunt Gua who was laughing dryly: "Actually, that young man is not casual, at least he can walk through the lava river alone at night." Last time, the eldest lady also said that most of the juniors who cast swords under the mountain did not dare to do this easily. Please also think about it, do you meet anyone with such courage and courage on weekdays?"

Aunt Gua listened to my words, so she bit her lip and thought about it for a while, until she shook her head with us with a sad face, "Aunt Gua, I really can't remember such a character, could it be ...... Could it be that the young man you are talking about is not from Qingquan Mountain? This admired man who came to pick materials was not unheard of before. ”

She lowered her head to avoid the eyes of me and Hu Xiaoer, and picked up the empty plates on the table, "By the way, if there is an abnormal sudden, you won't go to the lava river these days to find that ...... Master Mao also depends on chance...... Or in the eldest mother's guest house, the girl's injuries were healed first. ”

I nodded, stacked the used dishes and put them on a wooden tray and handed them to her, "There is Aunt Laogua, and I have to be taken care of by you these days." ”

"The girl is really polite when she speaks, this guest house is opened by Aunt Gua, and the lady has to let you eat and sleep well. She took the wooden tray and grinned, and was about to go out when she suddenly turned around again, frowning and hesitating.

"That, Shaoxia, Aunt Gua ask more, the cave collapsed, you saved the girl, why didn't you listen to what you said about that young man......? Are there any injuries?"

"He," Hu Xiaoer was sitting across from me, his fingertips lightly falling on the wooden table, and his tone was relaxed, "After the others came to save the woman, he disappeared." But don't worry about the eldest lady, the man seems to be an experienced person and is not injured. ”

Aunt Gua was relieved of her face, and nodded again and again with the tray. When she reacted, she looked away again, and said in a flash: "Eh, Pingshui meets, I'm worried about what people are doing......? Hehe......"

She laughed a few times and walked away, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

Listening to the footsteps gradually fade away, Hu Xiaoer turned his head and looked at me thoughtfully.

I knew what he meant, and I raised my eyebrows to look at him.

"Alas, Aunt Gua is really an honest person. He poured water from the teapot and drank it slowly, "I can't help but cheat." ”

"yes," I said, looking at him, "unlike some people, who may have a few faces. ”

"Plop-" sound.

The sip of tea squirted out of his mouth before he could drink it, and Hu Xiaoer coughed violently.

"What's wrong with you?" I subconsciously got up and patted him on the back, staring at the flushed face and whispering, "I didn't say it was you." ”

"I know, I know," he stopped, gasped deeply, and finally concluded with me, "Anyway, Aunt Gua must know the boy." ”

Does Aunt Gua recognize the young man in white?

What is the relationship between them?

Why is she so secretive?

Soon, these doubts were revealed by Hu Xiaoer and me a few days later.

Hu Xiaoer listened very much to the words of the doctor I had never met, saying that the stone poison in my body was gone, but I was afraid that there would be sequelae, and I needed to recuperate for a while.

In the past few days in the Zhuzhu Inn, he supervised me to eat and sleep well, and also instructed Aunt Gua not to give me wine to drink. In addition to getting up in the morning to practice swords, I didn't move much, often arguing with him, listening to him talk about wild jokes, and then squatting at the foot of the mountain while eating melons while watching the masters forge swords, life is very idle.

Hu Xiaoer famously said, traveling in the rivers and lakes does not have to rely on fighting and killing to gain knowledge, such a quiet in the middle of the noise, and the occasional leisure, it will also have a unique taste in the future.

I've long been accustomed to his casual nonsense.

However, it was in this laziness that Hu Xiaoer and I discovered another strangeness about Aunt Gua.

It is normal for people who open inns and restaurants to get up early, as Aunt Gua said, she has to get up early to boil hot water for the inn.

But by chance, I saw Aunt Gua brewing a food box full of food in the kitchen alone after boiling hot water. She disguised herself again, and took advantage of the bright sky to walk out of the inn alone with the food box on her shoulder.

I told Hu Xiaoer about this, and he was also suspicious. I secretly observed Aunt Gua with him for three days, and found that she secretly went out when she was Yin, and came back an hour later, and the food box she put back in the kitchen was empty.

So cautious, as if he was afraid of being known, he must be ......

Tonight, Hu Xiaoer slapped the table and made up his mind.

"Follow Aunt Gua tomorrow!"

The next day, it was quiet in the Zhuzhu inn, and Aunt Gua dressed up and went out with a food box. Hu Xiaoer and I secretly followed her.

Although Aunt Gua behaved very cautiously, she was not a martial artist after all. Coupled with the experience of the previous tracking, Hu Xiaoer and I have also become veteran.

Watch her carry a food box along the path at the foot of the mountain into Qingquan Mountain. When she reached the mountain, she had no time to care about what was behind her, but focused on the potholed mountain road under her feet.

I don't know where Aunt Gua's trip is, so we followed her to Qingquan Mountain. It wasn't until she reached the depths of the mountainside that she changed direction, and the road in front of her was flattened.

Thinking that she should have walked many times, Aunt Gua quickened her pace, bypassing many boulders on the mountain, and she was very familiar with it along the way. In the end, Hu Xiaoer and I both saw the mouth of the cave that was half hidden behind the rocks, and it was there that Aunt Gua stopped.

The mouth of the cave was noticeably much larger than what we had to climb into that night. I saw Aunt Gua tidying up her clothes in front of the cave door and taking a deep breath before entering.

Hu Xiaoer and I immediately followed.

As soon as I walked to the door of the cave, I heard the voice of Aunt Gua speaking very eagerly,

"Brother Mao, today I made your favorite roast chicken and radish balls, do you want to eat some first?"

Brother Mao?

I was shocked, and saw Hu Xiaoer caressing his lips silently,

But Master Mao?
