The sunset hides behind the western mountains, and the red glow stains the sky of the town. In the thick land beneath the blood agate, a team of ants was moving regularly along the ruined wall.

A young man in white sat on a stone block next to him, overlooking the mighty ant army. In his arms lay a black cat with supple hair.

The black cat has a nice name, Jin Se, which was given by the young man's mother. Everyone in the town knows that Song Chunyao has studied before coming to the town and has some knowledge.

The young man stroked the cat's body with his hand, and Jin Se "meowed" comfortably.

"Jinse, where did you say Uncle Zhang went? ”

The boy said to himself, "And the stones, will he do anything stupid." ”

"Yu'er, it's time to eat. ”

Song Chunyao's words interrupted the young man's thoughts.

"Mother, here. ”

There is also a small room next to the back kitchen of Qingye Building, where Song Chunyao and the three of them eat on weekdays.

Song Duanyu put the black cat on the stone and went straight to the hut.

The black cat, called Jinse, crouched down beside the mighty army of ants with a leisurely step.

When the boy was far away, he jumped to his feet and tumbled over the wall.

In the house, Song Chunyao personally cooked a few dishes.

"Yu'er, what about your Uncle Zhang, call him to eat", Song Chunyao said.

Song Duanyu said, "I don't know, Uncle Zhang is not in the yard." ”

Song Chunyao listened, put the freshly washed dishes and chopsticks on the wooden table, went to the yard to look for it, but didn't find it, and went back to the house.

"Did your Uncle Zhang tell you where he went?" asked Song Chunyao.

"No", Song Duanyu got up and walked to the edge of the rice bucket to serve the rice, with his back to Song Chunyao.

"Well, I don't know where he went, it's getting worse and worse, you can't learn from your Uncle Zhang", Song Chunyao said, "Let's eat, the business of the restaurant is very good today, your Uncle Zhang is out, you will help your mother later." ”

The lobby of Qingye Building is full of guests. There are one or two knives or other strange weapons on the sides of each table.

Song Duanyu came to the lobby and began to clean up the leftovers on a few tables, he swept around, and his eyes fell on the table in the southeast corner of the hall.

There were three guests at the table, two of whom wore sheepskin felt hats and could not see their faces clearly. The other was a woman. She wears a long sword at her waist, her appearance is delicate and heroic, and she can't help but let people take a few more looks.

The woman seemed to notice Song Duanyu's gaze and looked at Song Duanyu.

Song Duanyu hurriedly withdrew his eyes.

At this moment, an urgent shout broke the silence of the restaurant.

"Little Er, serve the wine. ”

A big monk carrying a demon pestle walked into the restaurant and sat down at an empty table.

"Come on", Song Duanyu took a pot of wine from the wine cabinet and sent it to the great monk.

The big monk glanced at Song Duanyu and quipped, "The young man gave birth to a good skin, if this is placed outside, I don't know how many girl dolls will be charmed." ”

When the great monk said this, Song Duanyu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing Song Duanyu's appearance, the monk was happy.

"The young man's face is really thin", the big monk pointed his finger to the sword girl, "Look, that little girl was born with a water spirit, how about marrying a wife." ”

Song Duanyu couldn't stand the ridicule of the great monk like this, so he hurriedly put away the dining table and went to the other table to clean up.

"Monk Hua, it seems that there is something wrong with your mandarin duck score," said one of the felt-hat men at the table of the sword-wearing woman.

The big monk laughed, "The Sprinkle family is just a joke, don't take it seriously." ”

At this time, someone asked, "Monk Hua, where is the secret treasure mentioned in your letter? ”

The great monk poured himself a bowl of wine and simmered it in one gulp, "My great monk Hua is also a well-known man in this northwest, and since the words have been put down, they will be practiced by their words." ”

"Okay, don't talk big, all the brothers are listening. ”

The great monk pointed to the south boldly, "That secret treasure is on Xiaozhong Mountain." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.

"Monk Hua, don't tease me, no one in this nearby town knows Xiaozhong Mountain, if there is really a treasure on that mountain, it will be taken away a long time ago, where can we get it. ”

The great monk shook his head, "Although this small mountain is well known, the treasure is extremely secret, if you don't master the treasure map, you will definitely not be able to find this batch of secret treasures." ”

"Oh, in this case, you have mastered the treasure map, it is better to extend the treasure map to the brothers, each according to his ability. Rare treasures are originally inhabited by virtuous people. ”

The big monk smiled and said, "Your Excellency's clever mouth is a fight with the girl in the Qinglou, why don't you introduce it to you?"

The face of the person who spoke earlier turned black with anger.

At this time, the great monk said solemnly, "If you want to follow a certain treasure to explore the treasure, you will meet in the east of the town tonight. ”

After saying this, the great monk took out a string of copper coins from his arms and threw them on the table, and greeted Song Duanyu, "Little Er, settle the bill." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the tavern.

Song Duanyu put away the wine jug on the table, and his mind was all in the words of the great monk.

In the afternoon, Shi Shi said that he had heard the Xuanwu Secret Treasure, could it be true? But didn't Uncle Zhang say that this thing was fake? No, Uncle Zhang must know something about the news of this 'Xuanwu Secret Treasure'" Song Duanyu thought carefully, "No, I must stop the stone, I heard Uncle Zhang say that these people who go to the rivers and lakes are all murderous masters who do not blink." ”

Song Duanyu put the food on the wooden table and greeted Song Chunyao, "Mother, I'll go find a stone and come back immediately." ”

Without waiting for Song Chunyao to respond, Song Duanyu had already rushed out of the restaurant.

"Slow down!" Song Chunyao shouted.

In the lobby of the restaurant, the woman with the sword said to the two men in felt hats, "Two uncles, whether we go tonight or not." ”

The two said in unison, "Naturally, I want to go." That thing should have been our Jiang family. ”

"But the forces in the northwest border are intertwined, and if you are ......not careful," the woman worried.

"Ying'er don't worry, with your second uncle and me, that rabble is vulnerable. The man in the felt hat who had refuted the flower monk before said.

Song Duanyu ran to Wicker Alley to the west of the town. The stone lives in a small dilapidated house at the end of the street.

"Stone, stone", Song Duanyu shouted in front of the small dilapidated house, but no one in the house responded.

A bad premonition crept up from Song Duanyu's back to his neck.

At this moment, a cat meow sounded.

A black shadow swept down from the sky, and Song Duanyu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Jin Se!

Jin Se had a blood-stained rag in his mouth, as if it had been torn from someone else's shirt.

Song Duanyu was in a hurry, turned over the courtyard wall, and pushed open the door to take a look.

The body of a teenager lay in a pool of blood, and its face was identified as a stone.

A miserable cry of sorrow echoed in the courtyard, and the evening breeze echoed one after another.

"Stone!"
