After Chu Qing explained to the little fat bear bag, it can be said that he was in a panic, and as soon as he stepped out of Feng Chu Tower, he flew straight down the jade shoot peak with his sword.

After a while, Chu Qing came to the outskirts of Shimen Town, at this time the night was thick, the sky was full of stars, there was no breeze at all, and it was quiet outside, and from a distance, he saw the rows of houses dotted with thousands of lights.

In such a night, everything around me seems to quickly condense into a deep black. The darkness that came over made people feel so elusive, it seemed to faintly hint at something, portenting something, and Chu Qing's heart became a little more solemn and anxious.

The streets of Shimen Town have long been deserted, and Chu Qing can be said to be familiar with the road, and he hurried all the way to Hualou Street, the back street. There were sporadic nocturnal walkers beside her from time to time, but they also passed by in a hurry, and she didn't have time to take a closer look. At this moment, she really didn't want to delay in the blink of an eye, she couldn't wait for the next step, and stepped into the Xiangxiang Building with one foot, and found Feng Shuzhu at a glance.

But as he walked, he suddenly heard a groan from the side of the street, which sounded very painful. Chu Qing couldn't help but turn her head to look sideways, and by the moonlight and starlight, she saw an elderly woman sitting on the side of the road, her hands on one leg, her face twisted together painfully, and her mouth was moaning constantly.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qing's footsteps paused involuntarily, but he raised his eyes and looked forward, and in the night, the colorful Xunxiang Building was already faintly visible, that is, the swaying figures in the building were already faintly visible.

Originally, he was worried about the wind and bamboo all the way, but at this moment, victory was in sight, and he definitely didn't want to be delayed because of other things, so Chu Qing turned his heart sideways and walked forward with his feet raised. Before he had taken a few steps, the old woman groaned bitterly behind him, one after another, one painfully, and after hearing it, it was inevitable that he was moved, so he stopped again, looked at the Xunxianglou that seemed to be close to the late foot, hesitated again and again, and finally shook his head, turned around and walked back to the old woman.

Chu Qing was not far from the old woman, not to mention that she was anxious at this time, so she walked closer in two steps, leaned over and asked, "Old woman, what's wrong with you, why are you in such pain?"

The old woman lowered her head, shook her body and sat on the ground moaning, hearing someone come to ask, a hint of brightness seemed to flash in her seemingly cloudy eyes, she slowly looked up at Chu Qing, looked up and down, and saw that it was a young and beautiful single girl, so she said in a trembling voice: "Girl...... Oops...... , girl, come and help your mother-in-law. My mother-in-law accidentally fell, I'm afraid it's ...... , I'm afraid I'll break my leg. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she looked in the direction of the old woman's finger, only to see that her trouser legs had been torn, and there were even blood stains on them. He didn't ask too much, and hurriedly reached out and walked up to help the old woman up, and asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, is it here that hurts?"

The old woman looked at Chu Qing carefully while standing firm, nodded slightly, and said, "I think it hurts my bones, and the pain is unbearable with a little force." After saying that, there were a few more painful "oops" sounds.

Chu Qing only looked down at the old woman's injury, how could she pay attention to him, and frowned sympathetically when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, there should be a medicine shop on the front street, I'll send you over." ”

Hearing this, the old woman hesitated for a moment, then raised her eyes to look around, and said, "It's so late at night, girl, where is there any medicine shop, mother-in-law should go home." ”

Chu Qing looked at the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, isn't she worried about the silver taels, although I said that I was in a hurry, there were also some silver taels on my body, which should be enough." ”

When the old woman heard this, she said, "Girl, you and I don't know each other, how can I be so troublesome with you, my mother-in-law is not worried about Yinliang." It's Lang Zhong of the front street medicine shop, and his mother-in-law is very familiar with Xiang Rili, and she sees him unopened during the day, and I heard that he has something to do and returned to his hometown, and it may take a long time to come back. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, he was stunned, thinking that there was such an unfortunate thing. But then I heard the old woman say: "Girl, don't worry so much, my mother-in-law's family has an ancestral prescription for medical bones, and this little injury can be taken back for a few days." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she immediately said, "Where is the mother-in-law's house, and how far is it from here?"

The old woman heard that the girl in front of her had the intention of sending herself home, so she pointed to her hand and said: "Mother-in-law's house is outside Shimen Town, at the foot of the mountain. After speaking, the hand holding Chu Qing tightened a little, as if he was worried that he would fall again as soon as he let go.

Chu Qing looked in the direction he was pointing, and glanced at the street twice, as if he was looking for something.

The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "Girl, don't you want to hire a carriage?" Seeing Chu Qing nodded, she smiled again: "Mother-in-law is a poor person, how can she be so pompous because of this injury, she is Lang Zhong and a carriage." ”

Chu Qing listened to the old woman's words, and looked at the street carefully, not to mention the carriage at this time, even the pedestrians were gone. I had to sigh, turned my head, and wanted to help the old woman go forward, so I asked casually: "Mother-in-law, why did you come out by yourself so late?"

Under Chu Qing's support, the old woman seemed to be struggling to stand firmly, and when she heard the words, she sighed before she said: "My mother-in-law was selling vegetables on the front street, but because she was greedy late, she accidentally fell down when she walked here. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she felt more pity in her heart, and when she saw that she couldn't let go of her hand, she looked left and right, and there was no one passing by, so she had to help the old woman and walk slowly in the direction she pointed, but she was still worried about the wind and bamboo in the Xunxiang Building.

The old woman seemed to see that Chu Qing had something on her mind, took two steps, and sighed, "Girl, you are really a rare kind person." Now the world is really hot and cold, my mother-in-law has fallen here for half an hour, and there are many people passing by, but no one has reached out to help. ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she inevitably felt a little angry in her heart, thinking that human nature is good, but the people she has seen are often so selfish that they can only see themselves, and they avoid things early, for fear of getting into any trouble, but most of her thoughts are still thinking about the wind and bamboo in Xunxianglou, so she didn't speak.

The old woman glanced at Chu Qing twice, and when she saw that she was silent, she thought about it again, and said: "It is said that each other is born from the heart, and the girl is so beautiful, it is really commensurate with her kindness." ”

When Chu Qing heard it again, he couldn't help but feel a little more joy in his heart, and he was a little less worried about Xunxianglou.

The old woman saw that the girl beside her had a slight expression, took a few steps forward, and sighed softly: "Girl, don't hide it, my mother-in-law's family is long gone, and I am left alone, I am really helpless, forced to come to Shimen Town to sell some vegetables, and I can support myself." ”

When Chu Qing heard it again, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the old woman, but she saw that her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes showed a look of pain, her face was crawling with the stumbling of the years, and the hardships of life were engraved, as if the pain of life was superimposed together, showing the difficulty of birth everywhere, and it made people feel sympathetic to it. His heart was soft, and his hand couldn't help but tighten a little, for fear that he would fall again. Thinking about it again, he thought about the Xianglou side, the dark road wind and bamboo road were profound, and no one in the Three Realms could help him, he was too nervous, thinking of this, his whole mind was completely on the old and injured old woman beside him.

The old woman seemed to know how to observe words and colors, and looked at Chu Qing's actions and faint changes in expression in her eyes one by one, thought about it and said, "Girl, do you have anything else to worry about, mother-in-law feels much better now, don't delay your business." As he spoke, he gently pushed Chu Qing's hand away, staggered and stood firmly, turned his head and smiled: "Girl, look, isn't your mother-in-law okay? After saying that, he tentatively took a small step forward alone, but before the leg he took hit the ground, he almost fell to the ground again.

Regarding the old woman's statement, Chu Qing was skeptical, how could this person who had broken his bones be okay so quickly, so he didn't dare to leave the old woman's side an inch, seeing that he was like this, he hurriedly reached out and held his hand, but he was still shocked into a cold sweat, if the old woman fell and injured himself again in front of him, then he would really feel extremely guilty, so he didn't dare to let go of his hand.

The old woman also seemed to be startled, and after being re-stabilized by Chu Qing, cloudy old tears flowed from her eyes, and she said in a lamented voice: "Alas, my mother-in-law is really old and useless, if it weren't for the girl's presence, I'm afraid it would be ...... , I'm afraid I'll fall again, and this injury will add to injury, and I may fall to death this old bone. After saying that, he cried in a sad voice.

When Chu Qing heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, she felt pity, and hurriedly comforted: "Mother-in-law is so old and can still walk such a long way, which is much healthier than ordinary people." When the little girl sends you back to your home, you will slowly recuperate and rest for a few days, and you will definitely get better!"

When the old woman heard this, her face suddenly opened, she turned her head to look at Chu Qing, her eyes showed kindness, and she said with a smile: "Girl, you are really good-hearted, but also very good at talking, if anyone can marry you, it will be a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

When Chu Qing heard this, she suddenly blushed, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a smile that could not be concealed. It's just that after she saw that the old woman beside her peeked at her, her eyes suddenly became a little sharper, and she nodded slightly.

While talking, the two of them had unconsciously walked out of Shimen Town and onto the path up the mountain.

At this time, the night is deep, in the wilderness, although there is no light, but the moonlight is still bright, and the white light shines on the world, even the potholes on the mountain road under your feet can be seen very clearly. It's just that in this late autumn season, after all, there is an extra layer of chill, which unconsciously invades people's bodies.

Chu Qing supported the old woman all the way, carefully and slowly moving forward, but in her heart she still looked forward to getting there quickly, after all, she still had to turn back to look for Xianglou, look at the sky at this time, I am afraid that it has passed the second watch.
