Su Qing sat on the side from beginning to end, never stepped forward to watch, nor did he speak in vain. If there were only herself and Lu Sanchuan, she would be coquettish, but now, with another man by her side, she had to watch from afar, not daring to cross.

This is the way of women.

Although Su Qing didn't like this way of women very much, and even jokingly called it "the way of bullshit", in order to give Lu Sanchuan a face, she still resisted her impulse, just sat in place, buried her head between her knees, and didn't look up at will even if she heard any sound.

Until it was dark, Lu Sanchuan sat back beside Su Qing and called softly, "Miss Su".

Only then did Su Qing dare to raise his head and look at Lu Sanchuan with tears in his eyes.

Lu Sanchuan naturally understood her thoughts, but the two were not married, so he didn't dare to act too intimately, but just raised his hand and touched her head to appease, "Master, he... When he was young, he was playful and accidentally set fire to his family, so he is now extremely afraid of fire. ”

He spoke as quietly as possible, so that Su Qing could hear clearly without making noise to Hao Qiqiu.

After hearing this, Su Qing was very surprised, and looked at Lu Sanchuan for a long time before turning his head to look at Hao Qiqiu. Hao Qiqiu lay on the trunk of a tree, with his back to the direction of the two, curled up.

Su Qing knew the truth, and he was not so angry in his heart, but he sighed to himself and looked at Lu Sanchuan again.

Lu Sanchuan said softly, "Let's also go up to the tree to rest." There are too many insects and ants on the ground, and it is inevitable to bite the upper body. ”

Su Qing nodded, and the two of them went up the tree separately.

From the second day, Hao Geqiu was not as lively and cheerful as before, although he was still beside the two of them, except for the point of martial arts, he didn't open his mouth the rest of the time, Gu Zi held the wine jar that Lu Sanchuan bought for him, sat on the branch and looked into the distance and drank bitterly.

Lu Sanchuan called his name several times, but he turned a deaf ear, and sometimes, he simply threw away the wine jar at will, lay down and closed his eyes to rest.

Five days later, Hao Geqiu disappeared completely.

Lu Sanchuan and Su Qing shouted around the neighborhood all morning, searched all morning, and found nothing.

Lu Sanchuan knew that Hao Geqiu was unwilling to see him again, so he was no longer reluctant, left the mountains, and walked to Jingmen on foot, wanting to find Zhang Yi again.

He knew that his reputation had become infamous, so he did not dare to walk in the middle of the avenue with swagger, but picked the alleys and poor streets, turned around and turned around, and finally came to the outside of the valley, but saw that the gate of the valley was closed. Two large red lanterns under the eaves were also taken off and placed in front of the door.

Lu Sanchuan's heart suddenly tightened: Could it be that Heifeng Village is coming to seek revenge again, so he and Su Qing jumped forward and entered the wall.

The valley is empty, just like the original Qianxing Gate.

Lu Sanchuan was immediately nervous, his heart rose to his throat, he looked at Su Qing for a moment, grabbed the long sword together, and walked inside quietly. He roughly guessed what was going on, and at the same time prayed in his heart, hoping that it was just his own wild suspicions.

However, they searched the Maple Leaf Pavilion, Pine Leaf Pavilion and other rooms, but they did not see a single corpse, and there was no trace of a fight on the walls or the ground. It's just that the furniture, calligraphy and paintings are gone, and the curtains and scarves are gone. A huge mansion was empty.

It seems that the disciples of Xing Yougu have moved elsewhere.

Lu Sanchuan groaned slightly, and then speculated on the result, "The martial arts conference divided the winners and losers, the four gates merged, and Xingyougu moved away." ”

Su Qing agreed, "It's very likely." Among the four people, Dai Ende's martial arts are the highest, and I think that Zhang Gu Master and they went to Xinyang, where the Qingyun Club is located. ”

Lu Sanchuan shook his head, "That's not necessarily. Do you remember Gong Qing?"

Su Qing immediately remembered that in Chibi, Gong Qing took away the painting sword, "If both of them are holding ordinary long swords, Dai Ende's martial arts are slightly superior, but if the fifth Ming has a famous weapon in his hand, he can suppress Dai Ende!"

Lu Sanchuan nodded, "That's right, we might as well go to the nearby neighborhood and ask." However, we are now sinners in the rivers and lakes, and it is inconvenient to show our faces at will, so we have to go to ordinary people's houses and knock on the door. ”

The two of them found a nearby house.

The house had no walls, but a bamboo fence enclosed a yard with chickens and ducks, and there was chicken and duck droppings everywhere, as well as uneaten fodder.

A stocky peasant woman sat in the courtyard, tending up the harvest that had been harvested in the afternoon.

Lu Sanchuan is well-read and knows all kinds of humble and honorific titles, but he only knows how to greet the "peasant woman", and after thinking about it, the exit is still a "peasant woman".

The peasant woman naturally heard it, but she didn't bother to answer Lu Sanchuan, she just snorted coldly and continued the work in hand.

Lu Sanchuan looked embarrassed, very embarrassed, so he had to turn his head and ask Su Qing for help.

Su Qing pursed her lips and laughed, and opened her mouth to come, "Eldest sister, I asked you something." ”

The peasant woman looked up at this time, and when she saw that Su Qing was born with a bright water, she became more and more happy, and responded with a smile, "Little sister, just say something if you have something." ”

Su Qing said sweetly, "I want to inquire, have the people there moved away?" she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Xingyougu.

The peasant woman followed her point, glanced at her, and immediately understood that she was talking about walking in the valley, "Oh, you said those bastards? They left a few days ago, carrying cartloads and carts of things. ”

Su Qing glanced at Lu Sanchuan and asked again, "Then do you know where they went?"

The peasant woman said, "Then how do I know, these mysterious people who are mixed up in the rivers and lakes seem to mention some alliance leader." Hey, these people, they have a good life, but they have to do something in the world, fighting and killing, it's really strange. ”

Su Qing knew the result and didn't want to stay any longer, but she didn't dare to interrupt when she heard the peasant woman's complaints, and it wasn't until the peasant woman finished speaking that she politely replied "Thank you, eldest sister", and left with Lu Sanchuan.

Lu Sanchuan smiled bitterly as he walked, "Qing'er, you still have a way." ”

Su Qing smiled, proud of being able to help Lu Sanchuan, "You used to sit in the study, read the sage books, and read a few sentences of 'Tao Ke Dao, Extraordinary Dao', naturally you won't know about folk affairs, and as for those in the mountain village, you don't know much about it." The things outside the world are far richer than those in the book. ”

Lu Sanchuan smiled slightly, neither angry nor ashamed, and said calmly, "Where are we going next?"

Su Qing stopped and looked at Lu Sanchuan's face carefully, "Next, let's go dress up, and then go to the tavern inn to inquire about the news! ”

Lu Sanchuan nodded, but he didn't understand why he was dressing up, "Xiao Er is not a person from the rivers and lakes, and he shouldn't know us, why do you want to dress up?"

Su Qing smiled, "Xiao Er doesn't know us, what if someone in the tavern knows us?"
