Chapter 352: Ending in Xiping
Seeing that Xiang Xiaoyu was about to die, only to hear a scream in front of him, Qin Yuyao opened his eyes in surprise, only to see that Wu Laosan threw away the steel knife, covered his throat with both hands, his face was distorted, and he seemed to be extremely frightened, and blood slowly overflowed from his fingers.
"What person?" Seeing that Wu Laosan's body fell down, the remaining three people were suddenly shocked and angry, and they all rushed over, standing in one place, waving their knives, and looking around vigilantly.
"Hmph!" only heard a cold snort, the three of them screamed miserably, and a blood flower bloomed on their chests, plopping a few times, and each fell to the ground softly, dying of anger.
Not far away, there was a person walking around the corner, but it was a woman in cloth clothes, with a delicate figure, walking in style, and an elegant temperament, but wearing a hat, the black veil hung low, and the face could not be seen clearly.
The woman had already walked to Qin Yuyao's side, and suddenly her expression moved, and she said in surprise: "Miss Qin, why were you born here?"
As she spoke, she swiped her right hand, and the more than ten hemp ropes were cut off by Qi Qi, Qin Yuyao stood up and asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?"
The woman took off her hat, revealing her long cloud-like hair, and her eyebrows were picturesque and moving.
Qin Yuyao took a closer look, but saw that although this woman was extremely beautiful, her temples were already gray and she looked extremely haggard. After a few glances, Deng Shi recognized it, and with an "ah" sound, he exclaimed, "You're not...... Isn't that Sister Hua?"
It turned out that this middle-aged woman was Hua Xueyue, a member of the Huajian faction Taisu who Xiao Qianli saved outside the swamp poison hall.
At that time, Hua Xueyue was seriously injured and was taken by Xiao Qianli to Miao's house in central Sichuan to recuperate, at that time Qin Yuyao also lived in Miao Mansion, pestering Liu Suifeng to learn swords every day, and Hua Xueyue had also met a few times, so he knew it.
Hua Xueyue smiled slightly and asked, "Miss Qin, why did you come here? and you were captured by these little thieves? With your martial arts, it shouldn't be like this!"
Qin Yuyao's face was so ashamed that Ai Ai said everything about the matter in the current period, Hua Xueyue listened quietly, nodded and said: "I see! Miss Qin, you must be careful when you walk in the rivers and lakes in the future!"
Qin Yuyao was a little embarrassed, and then she remembered a question and asked, "Sister Hua, why are you here?"
Hua Xueyue sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "I...... I don't give up...... I always want to look around, maybe my senior brother is still in western Sichuan......"
Qin Yuyao shook her head and comforted: "Sister Hua, don't be sad, I heard that the Miao and Qin families have also sent some people to inquire, if there is really a Huajian Sect person in western Sichuan, there should always be some news, maybe your senior brother has already left." ”
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Sister Hua, the north of this place is Xiping County, why don't we go together and go to Xiping County to inquire, it is better than in this western Sichuan region where information is inconvenient!"
Xiping is located in the gateway of Qinghai-Tibet, located in the key chong, is the throat of the South Silk Road, there are many merchants, even Tianxiang Pavilion also set up a branch in Xiping, thinking that it is a hub. Hua Xueyue hesitated for a long time, sighed, and said softly: "Okay! Actually, ...... Eighty percent can't be found...... But you have to give it a try......"
Fortunately, this place is not far from Maqu County, Qin Yuyao immediately returned, bought a bad horse, and the second daughter cleaned up and stopped, so she slowly went on the road.
As the merchant said, the road from Maqu to Xiping is much easier, and the second daughter went all the way north, passing through Xiahe, Haidong and other places, and traveled thousands of miles, and in less than half a month, she had come to Xiping County.
In the middle of the moon, the second daughter was already exhausted, and her face was extremely haggard, even the young Qin Yuyao was covered with dust at this time, where was the beautiful demeanor half a minute ago?
At that time, the weather was frozen, the black clouds were low, and a cold north wind blew, and the snow began to fall.
Hua Xueyue's Xuangong is exquisite, Jin Dan is condensed, and the situation is better. Qin Yuyao's red clothes had already turned gray-brown, and they had worn out a few holes, and the cold wind penetrated, and she suddenly shivered all over her body.
Hua Xueyue glanced at Qin Yuyao with concern, took the horse closer, took off the black robe and draped it on Qin Yuyao's body, revealing a graceful figure wearing only a tight-fitting suit, and said softly: "Hide the air pocket, and all the wonders return to the roots." The gasification of the dantian is cultivated and refined, which can resist the invasion of external evils. ”
Qin Yuyao hurriedly pushed, shook her head and said, "Sister Hua, you gave it to me, so what ......are you wearing?"
"It's okay!" Hua Xueyue smiled, "My martial arts are stronger than yours, although it is not invasive from the cold and heat, but it can also withstand this wind and snow." Well, there's a small village in front, let's go there and spend the night, and then go into the city tomorrow to make plans. ”
Qin Yuyao said dejectedly: "Sister Hua, it's all my fault, if I hadn't lost my money bag, I wouldn't have fallen to this point......
Hua Xueyue shook her head and said: "What did Sister Yao say? Sister was originally a hard-working person, wandering in the rivers and lakes, and she was used to sleeping in the open, but now she has caused Sister Yao to suffer with me." ”
A plain sentence, but full of blood and tears, Qin Yuyao trembled in her heart when she heard it, but she didn't know what to say. I had to raise my head, look far away, and see a small village appear in the twilight, and said happily: "My sister is right, there is indeed a village in front!"
Seeing that the dark clouds were sinking lower, the black pressure covered the sky and the sun, and the wind and snow were falling heavier, the second daughter sped up, and saw two people climbing on the roof at the entrance of the village, and four people below to help, repairing a broken roof, and seeing two horses entering the village, a middle-aged man in his thirties on the roof waved and shouted: "Where are the guests?"
Hua Xueyue has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, turned over and dismounted at the moment, gave a salute from afar, and said loudly: "We are travelers from western Sichuan, but we have not yet entered the city when the weather changes abruptly, passing through your village, I want to ask for a bowl of hot water to avoid the wind and snow." ”
The few people all straightened up and glanced at the second daughter, and one of them smiled and said, "In that case, please sit in the room!" and then shouted at the top of his voice: "the damn, come out quickly!"
The door of a house next to the entrance of the village creaked open, and a rough peasant woman came out, rubbing her hands and jumping her feet, and shouted, "What is the matter?"
The middle-aged farmer pointed to the second daughter and said, "Take these two girls to the barbecue!"
The peasant woman glanced at the second daughter a few times, and said with a smile: "Oh, what a handsome little girl, hurry up and go into the house to roast the fire, don't freeze your body." Take these two girls' horses to the cowshed and feed them some hay!"
The peasant man agreed, and the second daughter followed the peasant woman into the house, passed through the main hall, and went straight to the inner hall in the backyard, where there was a fire, a large cauldron was erected, and the boiling water was steaming, and the second daughter was sitting around the fire at the moment, and the north wind was howling outside the door, and the cold wind was sleet, squeezing in through the crack in the door, and the fire was blowing bright and dark.
The peasant woman was busy, brought hot water and steamed buns, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you came a little late, the stove has been sealed with fire, and only a few steamed buns are hot, and I hope the two girls will not dislike it." ”
The second daughter hurriedly got up and thanked her, took the tray, and watched the peasant woman go out, and then sat down again, Hua Xueyue was born too plain, quite good at medical pharmacology, smelled it first, took a small bite, and said with a smile: "Eat!"
Qin Yuyao was also so hungry that she ate it at the moment, regardless of her image.
That night, the peasant woman packed up a small room, settled the second daughter to live, and told her secretly: "Two girls, we are not very peaceful here, don't go out at night!"
With that, he retreated and closed the door gently.
Qin Yuyao didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Isn't there something strange about this place? It's freezing on this day, and the wind and snow are combined, won't you go out and freeze into ice?"
Hua Xueyue looked gloomy, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple...... Sister Yao, it's not too early, let's rest quickly!"
