Chapter 8: The Boat Girl
Qi Suyu put Shi Enlu into the brocade box, but he didn't notice that a wisp of gray air flowed out of his fingers and drilled into the box, and the moment he closed the box, the three golden words of "Shi Enlu" that were originally dim were actually covered with a halo. Wrap the three brocade boxes in black cloth again, then carry them on his back, and walk to the gate, just happened to meet Steward Li sweeping the floor, and didn't say anything, just nodded and signaled that he was going out, but Steward Li hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little young master, a young man from the Gulun sect came to look for the master last month. Qi Su Yu stepped back, turned around and asked: "Do you know the name of that person, what is the matter with the master?" Steward Li shook his head: "I don't know, but that person has a strong body, wide and flexible blades, and thick calloused palms, so he should be a spearman." ”
This Li steward is also a strange person, he doesn't tell the person's appearance, but he looks at the body, and can guess the weapon used by this person, which makes Qi Suyu stunned, and he can't help but be secretly impressed, and admire it in his heart. So he shook his hands, said goodbye to the housekeeper, rode on the yellow horse, and went to the place of Nanshan to raise dust.
Steward Li nodded at Qi Suyu's departing figure, slowly straightened up, and suddenly his figure flashed, and the person had disappeared silently, not even the trajectory of the fallen leaves floating beside him was not distorted in the slightest.
"Gulun faction", Qi Su Yu rode a horse while silently thinking about the name of this sect that he was both familiar and unfamiliar with, he only knew that this was a famous sect, controlling the power of the Central Domain, and also supporting an empire called Shengyan Kingdom in the Central Domain, and he didn't know anything else in detail.
Suddenly, a sense of powerlessness and eagerness of oppression haunted Zai Qi Su Yu's heart, he didn't know anything about the sect forces in the outside world, he had never thought of understanding it before, and now he wished that someone could tell him the Gulun sect in detail.
Remembering that he hadn't asked Steward Li for more news in a hurry, he was very distressed, and now that he had walked out of the day's journey, it was better to hurry up and rush to Uncle Shi if he turned back.
Then two days of non-stop, Qi Suyu finally rushed to the South Valley, in the past two days he except for drinking some mountain springs, not a drop of rice, plus impetuous, but more tired than the big yellow horse.
Qi Suyu walked through the stone cave under the waterfall, and as soon as he arrived at the wooden house in the south valley, he smelled the smell of vegetables, and his stomach screamed more and more.
When he was eating deliciously, an old man suddenly came in from the side door with a plate of dishes, and the old man was followed by a woman. Seeing this woman, Qi Suyu felt that he was abrupt, and hurriedly put down the bowl, and sat there to eat, and it was not okay not to eat, and he was embarrassed all over his body. This old man is naturally his uncle Xu Nanshan, and the woman behind him is the one who was rescued in the mountains and forests that night.
If it's just with Uncle Shi, then Qi Suyu really doesn't have to worry about image etiquette, just eat and drink casually, but there is also a woman, he has never dealt with a woman, and when he was on the road before, he even thought for a long time about how to talk to this woman if he came back. He also prayed that it was best if Uncle Shi had already recuperated her and sent her down the mountain, after all, it had been several days, and with Uncle Shi's medical skills, she would be able to make her alive in three or two days.
Seeing that Qi Suyu was embarrassed, Xu Nanshan smiled, not only did not relieve it slightly, but walked over, kicked Qi Suyu, and said: "Put your feet down, eating a meal is like a fight, what kind of system, you look at the food on the table, don't pick it up and eat it, this is what Miss Zhou worked hard to do." ”
Qi Suyu was stunned by what he said, and while putting away his feet, as if he had done something wrong, he used chopsticks to pick up the food that had fallen on the table back into the bowl.
And the Zhou girl covered her mouth and smiled, and then returned to her original state, making a gesture to kneel in front of Qi Suyu, and said: "Little girl Zhou, thank you for saving your life." ”
When Qi Suyu touched this scene, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and he had to help them with both hands. But I saw that there were some oil stains on my hands, and the clothes of the girl in front of me were clean, and her skin was as white as Haoyue, and it seemed that her hands were really dirty, so I hurriedly retracted my hands and wiped them on my clothes a few times, but I still didn't feel clean. But he didn't help it, and the girl didn't get up by herself.
Xu Nanshan on the side was stupidly crying by him, and urged: "You should help people up." Qi Suyu hurriedly helped the girl to her feet, but the girl also got up and raised her head and thanked her. Qi Su Yu He had seen such a beautiful woman, and at that time he only dared to glance at it in a hurry in the carriage, but he didn't dare to face it, but now he saw it clearly when he was face to face.
I saw that this week, the girl's eyes were clear, her eyebrows were trimmed, her lips were bright, her skin was white and warm, her three thousand floating silks were like light clouds covering the moon, her posture was like an orchid, her smile was like water, and she was moving like an egret from Izumo and a white lotus from the water.
"I said, can we eat first?" Xu Nanshan looked at Qi Suyu's stunned appearance, and the girl was embarrassed, so he could only say helplessly.
When Qi Suyu heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, his cheeks were bright red, he quickly sat down, and picked up the rice bowl to eat, and he didn't dare to look at Miss Zhou again, and he didn't remember how many big bowls he ate, until the food was gone, he felt unbearable bloating, it turned out that he had eaten too much.
Miss Zhou just smiled and watched him finish eating, then put away the dishes and chopsticks, went out of the side door, and went to the kitchen, and then Qi Suyu returned to nature.
"I remember that you didn't have such a big amount of food before, but today you are possessed by a hungry ghost? After eating my four large bowls of rice, you have also eaten up all the delicious dishes. Xu Nanshan said angrily.
Qi Suyu looked embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I didn't see Master when I went back this time. ”
Xu Nanshan was not surprised, in his opinion, it was not strange that his senior brother was not at home, so he just asked casually: "Oh, where is he?"
Qi Suyu didn't answer, and took out the letter left by the master in his arms and handed it to Xu Nanshan. Xu Nanshan frowned and took it, finished reading it in three or two eyes, handed it back to Qi Suyu, and said thoughtfully: "Why didn't you say hello to me in advance." ”
"Uncle Shi knows where Master and his old man will go?" Qi Suyu asked hopefully.
"Don't ask me, I don't know, it's always him who comes to me, when have I ever been to him. "Continued Nanshan's sentence of no.
Qi Suyu wanted to ask again, but he didn't know how to ask again, it was indeed the master who brought him to find his uncle, who had never been to them, and the two old men rarely met on weekdays, so it was futile to ask again.
He immediately stopped asking about it, but asked the master if he had any holiday dealings with the Gulen sect.
This question Xu Nanshan seemed to know something, got up and picked up the teapot, turned around and walked out of the house, intending to talk while drinking. Qi Suyu understood, and hurriedly grabbed two cups and followed him out.
