Two months later, we received an invitation from Lu You. Along with the invitation, there was a letter.

"October 20, Shaoxing Lufu, waiting for you. ”

Li Xiaoqian looked at the red invitation card with an extremely lost expression. He said, "Why bother? ”

I didn't know why, so I asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Xiaoqian did not explain it to me. He just shook his head abruptly, and said in his mouth: "A tragedy! Red crisp hands, hairpin head phoenix, Shen Yuan meet......

On the day we left for Shaoxing, Lou Qin took out a delicate wooden box and handed it to me, saying, "This is a congratulatory gift for Lu You, you can take me to deliver it." She opened the wooden box, and it was a pair of emerald mandarin ducks, the carving was extremely exquisite, almost vivid.

I asked, "Aren't you going to Shaoxing?"

Lou Qin smiled and said, "I still have to guard the inn." ”

The carriage stopped at the door, and Li Xiaoqian and I said goodbye to Lou Qin. The carriage shook lightly, and the wheels pressed against the bluestone pavement, making a "rattle" sound.

Li Xiaoqian and I set out on the road again. The previous time it went all the way to the north, and this time it went all the way to the south.

Shaoxing.

When Li Xiaoqian and I stood at the door of the Shaoxing Inn again, I sighed with emotion. The past is vivid, but YTO no longer knows where it has gone.

Looking at the signboard of the Shaoxing Inn, I was even more emotional, and asked Li Xiaoqian: "You say, where did Yuantong go?"

Li Xiaoqian pointed to the sky. My heart tightened, and I almost lost my voice: "Dead?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "It's a heavenly opportunity that can't be revealed, stupid." ”

There are still three days left before Lu You's wedding. That night, I shared a room with Li Xiaoqian. For some reason, his mood was a little low along the way. I asked him what was wrong, and he didn't answer. Just sigh from time to time, say, a tragedy.

This night, dark clouds covered the moon, and the wind suddenly rose. The windows of the guest room were scraped and rattled. I lay in bed feeling a little uneasy, as if something big was going to happen.

Sure enough. Three watches. Outside the window, there was a "clanging" sound of iron tools.

Li Xiaoqian and I rolled out of bed almost at the same time, leaning on the window and looking out.

"See?" asked Li Xiaoqian.

As far as I could see, there was a blank night. I said, "I can't see it." It's too dark. ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the white light flashed in front of him, and a figure jumped in from the window. The moment I came in, two feet hooked my face and Li Xiaoqian's face, knocking us both to the ground.

In the inn, the two of us rolled into a ball.

Li Xiaoqian reacted very quickly, flipped over on the spot, pressed the person to the ground with a Shaolin grappler, and shouted: "What person?!"

I vaguely smelled a rich fragrance, the fragrance was very familiar, and the familiar aroma made my heart beat suddenly.

"Satsuki?!" I asked softly.

"Ji Danbing?!" Satsuki was also shocked.

Li Xiaoqian hurriedly let go of his hand. I leaned my face closer, and Satsuki's handsome face was faintly visible, just like the one I was dreaming of.

"Why are you here?" asked Li Xiaoqian.

"Shhhh She peered through the crack in the window, and perhaps sensing that no one was noticed, she gently closed the window and let out a long sigh of relief.

I asked, "What happened?"

Satsuki said, "Someone is chasing me. ”

Li Xiaoqian smiled slyly and said, "Who is chasing you?" and how do you look?" For some reason, I felt that there was another meaning in his words.

Xiao Yue had been looking around nervously, but she didn't see Li Xiaoqian's expression, she said, "I didn't see it clearly, but judging from the sword technique, it was a person from the Kucang faction." ”

Kuocang faction?!

Could it be that they are still worried about Satsuki's killing of those four lewd thieves?!

I asked, "Is it Chen Boyang?"

Satsuki said, "No. If it was Chen Boyang, I'm afraid I didn't run away so easily. ”

Li Xiaoqian asked, "How many people?"

Satsuki said, "About a dozen. ”

I asked, "Why are you in Shaoxing?"

Xiaoyue said: "Senior brother's wedding, of course I came to Shaoxing to drink wedding wine." ”

My heart tightened and asked, "Lu Shi is here too?"

Xiao Yue was a little unhappy, she said, "You dare to call my master by his name." ”

"I ......" I was reprimanded by Satsuki like this, and I suddenly felt a little flustered, and said, "I'm just used to it." ”

Xiao Yue didn't pursue it further, she said, "You can help me deliver a letter." ”

I asked, "Where to go?"

Xiao Yue said: "These people will not give up, I will contact Master as soon as possible and let him come and save me." ”

Are you going to see Lu Shi?

I subconsciously covered my chest with my hands. The "Circle Letter Gone" letter still lay quietly in my arms, and it seemed to have felt my nervous heartbeat, trembling with the heaving of my chest.

Li Xiaoqian asked, "Where is your master?"

Xiao Yue said: "Ten miles east of Shaoxing Mansion, Mulan Villa, you give this thing to the people of Mulan Villa, and they will take you to see my master." "In the dark, Satsuki plucked the sword spike and stuffed it into my hand.

I'm really going to see Lu Shi. I was even more nervous. But thinking that only Lu Shi could save Xiaoyue now, he nodded and agreed, saying, "Okay." ”

Walk out of the Shaoxing Inn. Li Xiaoqian and I looked around like thieves, and when we saw that there was no one around, we ran to the outside of Shaoxing Mansion against the strong wind.

On the way, Li Xiaoqian asked me, "Do you still have that letter with you?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

Li Xiaoqian said: "When I see Lu Shi, I must not do this for me. ”

I asked, "Why?"

Li Xiaoqian said: "If you still want to come back alive, don't ask. If you must ask, let me go back. ”

I said, "Okay." ”

Li Xiaoqian smiled and said, "The son can be taught." ”

I said, "Go back." ”

Li Xiaoqian was stunned and scolded: "Damn, you are sick!"

I'm not sick. It's just that this question has been pressing on the bottom of my heart, like a fish in my throat, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy. I've made up my mind to ask.

Li Xiaoqian stopped. He pointed to my nose and said, "If you must ask, Lao Tzu will go back now." ”

I don't want Li Xiaoqian to go. If I go alone, it will make me even more nervous.

But. Do you really have to stop asking about that matter?

A cold light flashed out from the gap in the dark clouds, and the moon lifted the clouds, bringing a touch of light to the endless and confused night. At the same time, there is also a white shadow.

The sound of the wind was still strong, stirring the white shadow's clothes, white hair, and long beard.

It was as if I had caught a life-saving sampan in the boundless sea, and I excitedly shouted, "Bai Senpai!"

Bai Jingxing "hiccuped" and walked towards us, he walked lightly, swaying left and right, and said vaguely: "Again, you two little ghosts again." He shook the gilded gourd in his hand, which shone like glass in the moonlight.

"Here, get a pot of wine for the old man. Bai Jingxing shook and threw the gourd on my body.

He threw it so suddenly that I didn't catch it. The gourd "banged" and fell to the ground. The wind was still very tight, and I heard a crisp "click" in the sound of the "whoosh" wind.

The gourd cracked.

Bai Jingxing sat on the ground, like a naughty child, patting his thighs and wailing: "The old man's gourd!

This scene made me and Li Xiaoqian a little at a loss. The two of us glanced at each other, and Li Xiaoqian whispered, "This old man has drunk too much again." ”

I cautiously stepped forward, patted Bai Jingxing's shoulder gently, and said, "You, are you okay?"

Suddenly, Bai Jingxing rolled in place and stood up. He grabbed me by the shoulder and shouted "Follow me". I was carried by him, and in an instant I flew to the top of the roof.

Under the moonlight, I looked back at Li Xiaoqian, who was messy in the wind, and shouted: "Senior, take me! I want to fly ...... too."

Li Xiaoqian's figure disappeared into the night, and his voice gradually blurred.

Bai Jingxing took me to an extremely remote alley. His expression was serious, but his eyes were bright, not at all the appearance of the drunken man he had just been.

I asked, "You're not drunk?"

Bai Jingxing smiled, and he said, "The old man is just looking for an opportunity to bring you over." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Bai Jingxing suddenly felt a little gloomy, there seemed to be melancholy between his eyebrows, and said, "How is the beggar gang?"

I said, "Good." ”

Bai Jingxing frowned, as if asking, "Very good?!"

I nodded and said, "Yes." Very good. Suddenly, I remembered the letter on my chest. Now, Bai Jingxing is in front of me, why don't I give it to Bai Jingxing and ask him what to do.

I took out the letter, handed it to Bai Jingxing, and said, "I found a letter in Ma Xiaoliu's room. ”

When I handed the letter to Bai Jingxing, he didn't open it, but just grabbed the letter in his hand, shook it hard, and when he opened his hand again, the letter had turned into powder and scattered with the wind.

I exclaimed, "What are you going to do?!"

Bai Jingxing said: "Don't pursue this matter anymore. It's gone. ”

I asked, "Why don't all of you let me check it?"

Bai Jingxing said: "Because, there is no point. ”

I said, "I want to know the answer." ”

Bai Jingxing said: "You have to remember that in this world, there are many things that have no answers. If you insist on it, it will only backfire. ”

I said, "I'm panicking. ”

Bai Jingxing said: "Then you have to endure it." ”

At this time, my lower abdomen was already a little swollen. I said, "I'm really panicking. ”

Bai Jingxing shouted: "No, you must endure it!"

I felt that the rushing river had been dammed, and my whole lower limbs were a little numb. Again, I emphasized, "I really can't hold it back!"

With a "snap", Bai Jingxing slapped me in the face and shouted, "Hold it back for the old man!"

A slap in the face shattered my last insistence.

I felt a stream of hot and humid water flowing down my trouser legs, and the cold wind blew very cool, and I couldn't help but shiver a few times in a row.
