16. The Bright Gentleman (1)

The two were silent for a long time, only listening to the boiling sound of the "goo-goo" medicinal soup in the medicine jar outside the room. Qin Sangruo turned his head, smiled slightly, and asked Zhu Xiangru, "After talking for a long time, I still don't know your name?"

Zhu Xiangru thought to himself: "She is my life-saving benefactor, and my real name and surname can no longer be hidden from her." Then he said: "My surname is Zhu, and my name is similar." Qin Sangruo said: "I saw you faint in the alley that day, your face was blue, but I was frightened. On second inspection, it was poisoned by the ink hedgehog needle. Although I knew the poison of the ink hedgehog needle before, and I had seen it, it was the first time to heal it, but I was lucky enough to detoxify your poison, Brother Zhu, you are really blessed with a great life. ”

Zhu Xiangru said: "This is your wonderful rejuvenation and excellent medical skills." I owe you my life, and I don't know how to repay it. Qin Sangruo said: "I don't want to repay, I just hope you treat me as a friend,"

Zhu Xiangru said: "From now on, we will be good friends, Miss Sangruo, if you have anything, just tell me, I will go in the fire and in the water, and I will not give up." Qin Sangruo couldn't help but laugh again when he saw him say solemnly.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Xiangru found that she was very smart, although she didn't understand Chinese, and she didn't understand the meaning and pronunciation of some words and sentences, but she could understand it at a point, and she learned quickly.

After the decoction is simmered, give it to Zhu Xiangru. After taking it for two days in a row, Zhu Xiangru was able to get out of bed and move. When you look outside the hut, it turns out to be a huge wood, and the hut is built on a clearing on the hillside. Standing at the door of the thatched hut, you can see the continuous woods below, and there is no edge in the distance. Zhu Xiangru didn't understand why her young girl's family would live alone in this barren mountain and live in isolation.

These two thatched huts were built by Qin Sangruo herself, and she lived in another thatched hut next door at night, and in the middle of the night, Zhu Xiangru suddenly woke up and was moved by the sound of musical instruments. He got up and put on his clothes, and went outside, and saw a man sitting on a large rock in the doorway, holding a musical instrument in his hand, playing intently.

That figure is pretty and graceful, under the moonlight, slender and moving, it is Qin Sangruo.

Zhu Xiangru listened to the music like crying, resentment, as if he missed his hometown and relatives, and seemed to contain a lot of grievances, how many things were difficult to confide in others, Zhu Xiangru listened obsessively, Qin Sangruo finished playing, and let out a long sigh.

Looking back at Zhu Xiangru standing behind him, he said, "Brother Zhu, am I arguing with you?" Zhu Xiangru shook his head, walked up to her, and said: "Miss Sangruo, you play so well, what is the name of the instrument in your hand?" Qin Sangruo said: "This is Xun, many men, women and children in our clan will blow it, when they are sad, when they are happy, when they are sad, when they are sad, when they are sad, when they are happy, when they are happy. It's small and portable, and we all love it. He handed the Xun in his hand to Zhu Xiangru and said, "Do you want to try it?" Zhu Xiangru took it and took a look, only to see that the Xun was oval, shaped like a goose egg, and there were many small holes on it. Qin Sangruo then taught him how to press the hole and how to play. The two sat side by side on the stone, their ears and temples grinding, Zhu Xiangru Fang Ze was slightly close, only to feel that she was exhaling like an orchid, and bursts of virgin fragrance came to the end of her nose, almost unable to help herself.

After the two studied for more than half an hour, Zhu Xiangru could blow Xun smoothly, but if you want to play music, it is not something that can be learned in a moment and a half.

Zhu Xiangru asked: "Miss Sangruo, I heard that you seem to have a lot on your mind, can you tell me about it." By the way, you haven't told me where you are from, and why do you live alone on this mountain?"

Qin Sangruo was silent for a long time before he said: "Brother Zhu, it's not that my little sister doesn't want to tell you, there are some things that are secrets within our clan, and there are strict clan rules, please forgive me for not being able to say it." Zhu Xiangru said: "Since this is the case, I won't force you." And he said, "If you have anything else that you need me to do, be sure to tell me." Qin Sangruo looked at him and said faintly, "I will definitely tell you." He added, "Your injuries are not completely healed, don't blow too much wind, go back to your room quickly." The two went back to their rooms.

The next day, Zhu Xiangru exercised his pranayama, guided by the "Wuwei Heart Method", and turned the divine power in his body several times, feeling that his breath was smooth, his spirit was vigorous, and all the poisons in it had been removed, and his strength had been fully restored. Thinking of leaving for a few days, there were still dark horses in the shop, plus the appointment with the beggar gang to draw the picture of Caiyun Bridge, and I was afraid that the beggar gang would have an urgent matter to discuss, and I would not be able to find out that I had missed a big thing. Thinking about saying goodbye to Qin Sangruo.

Suddenly, I heard a great commotion outside the room, as if there were many people shouting outside. I only heard someone shouting loudly to the hut in a language that he didn't understand, but Qin Sangruo just kept his mouth shut.

Zhu Xiangru walked out of the thatched hut and saw that the wooden door of Qin Sangruo next door was closed. Seeing that there were about 100 people gathered at the bottom of the hillside, all dressed in the costumes of ethnic minorities, each wearing a huge earring on their ears, holding knives, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, with a fierce expression, they were shouting loudly under the hillside, but they seemed to be very afraid of Qin Sangruo and did not dare to force themselves to approach.

When the group saw a man coming out of the house, there was a great chaos, and everyone shouted loudly as if they were cursing, and then they saw a rough man in his thirties, dressed more ornately than the others, and wearing hand rings and collars made of bright gold on his hands and neck. With a look of anger on his face, he muttered a few words in his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the group of people dispersed with a roar, and surrounded the hut with water, all of them with bows and arrows, ready to attack.

Although Zhu Xiangru couldn't understand what they were saying, looking at their formation, he immediately understood their intentions, and suddenly a strange man appeared from the hut, which made people suspicious.

The rough-looking man shouted a few words loudly towards Qin Sangruo's thatched hut, and after a while, he heard the door of the thatched hut "creak" open, and Qin Sangruo walked out, his face frosty.

She took a few steps and spoke to the man in her native language. The man's anger calmed down slightly, and he still looked at Zhu Xiangru with hatred.

Zhu Xiangru stood aside, unable to understand what they were saying, but he also guessed what Qin Sangruo was explaining to the man, and the man still didn't believe it.

Qin Sangruo turned around and said to Zhu Xiangru: "Brother Zhu, you go back to the room first, and I will solve the matter here." Zhu Xiangru said: "Miss Sangruo, I don't understand what you said to that person, what kind of difficult thing did you encounter, I can help you if you say it." ”

Qin Sangruo stomped his foot and said, "I want to find a way to solve my matter, you can enter the house quickly!" When the man saw Qin Sangruo go to pull Zhu Xiangru, his face changed greatly, he made a move with his hand, and shouted in his mouth, and the group of people shot at Zhu and Qin like raindrops of arrows.

Zhu Xiangru saw that this group of people suddenly attacked, and wanted to kill himself, but he didn't even care about Qin Sangruo's life or death, and immediately waved his right hand, and a strong wind struck out of his sleeve, knocking away some of the feather arrows that came from him, and then hugged Qin Sangruo's slender waist, a little on tiptoe, and shot into the room like an arrow holding her, and closed the door with his hand. As soon as the door was shut, all I could hear was the sound of arrows shooting at the door, the window, and the wall made of planks.

Qin Sangruo's face turned pale, and he scolded: "Zaqin, this bastard, is really not a thing, he wants the lives of the two of us!"

Zhu Xiangru heard the sound of feather arrows outside pause for a moment, and guessed that the group of people had slowly surrounded them. He said: "There are too many of them, and we don't know whether they are friends or foes, and if we hesitate any longer, we will either be killed by them or captured alive." Miss Qin, you have to tell me, who are the people outside?"

Qin Sangruo sighed and said, "The man who ordered it is my fiancé!" Zhu Xiangru was taken aback, and under the surprise, he was a little disappointed in his heart, stunned for a moment, and said: "That person turned out to be your fiancé, no wonder he misunderstood me, but he should also figure things out and figure it out, and he shouldn't even shoot you." ”

Qin Sangruo said: "So I scolded him for being a complete bastard!" Zhu Xiangru said: "We should explain things clearly to him." After a pause, he said: "The matter started because of me, it should be solved by me, I will go out and explain to him now, otherwise they really think that we have a personal relationship, and it will not ruin your innocence." Otherwise, after you get married in the future, he will also have a grudge in his heart, and he will not treat you well for the rest of his life. ”

As he spoke, he was about to open the door and go out, but Qin Sangruo grabbed his arm and shouted, "Brother Zhu, I don't care what he does to me at all, I just don't want to marry him so I escaped." ”
