Chapter Ninety-Seven: Confusion (I)
By the time the two men returned to the city, the sun had begun to set in the west. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info came to the rudder of the beggar gang, but learned that Xiao Lei was not there, but went to the south of the city to meet with others, the specific situation of the beggar gang disciples is not very clear, and no one can say for sure when he will come back. After getting this news, the two of them were also quite helpless, and waited for nearly an hour, until the sky was dark, and they didn't see Xiao Lei come back, so they had to drop the message, and let the deputy helmsman who split the rudder tell Xiao Lei that he already had the news that the Zhang brothers and sisters had arrived, and explained that they would meet tomorrow in the grove north of Balizhuang, please don't worry about it anymore, and then Dugu Jian and Yang Ying said goodbye and left.
Originally, the two of them planned to go to the inn in Balizhuang to stay for one night, but when they arrived at the city gate, they found that the sky was completely dark, and the city gate had been closed and locked. In desperation, they had no choice but to stay at the inn at the east gate again. After eating something casually, Dugu Jian said to Yang Ying to rest early, and then pushed the door and entered his room.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, took off his shoes and socks and sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to refine the remaining heaven and earth essence of the Snow Lotus King and Double-headed Ginseng remaining in his body according to the exercise route of the "Bichao Divine Skill". He knew very well in his heart that since Zhang Rumeng had found some clues, it would not be long before the time to expose the chief rudder of the Five-Color Sect, and when the time came, with the power of the Beggars Gang and the Heavenly King Gang, and then launch the martial arts decency in Shuzhong, everyone would work together to completely eradicate the Five-Color Sect. Then if you practice a little more kung fu now, and if you have a little bit of entry, you will have a little more help at that time. It wasn't until the fourth watch that Dugu Jian felt that the true qi in his body was full, and he absorbed a lot of residual medicinal power, so he lay down and fell asleep.
One night in the middle of summer, the silent hustle and bustle awoke in the melancholy of the growth of all things, and the seeds hidden in the soil slowly stretched out from the ground. The night dew dropped, falling in the burst of floral fragrance...... The dream-chasing creatures will always scar themselves, and then silently **** the wound, and then slowly turn the wail into a chant in the wind.
And what people lost in those years was memory, or love, or something else. But in Dugujian's dream, it was the long-lost greenery, smiling at him, the pretty figure, the clear eyes, all carrying his sight, floating in the breeze......
When the morning fell on the earth and the first rays of sunlight shone in through the window, in the room on the second floor of the inn, Dugu Jian turned over and jumped out of bed, because he heard Yang Ying knocking softly outside. He answered the call, freshening up his face, and walked over to open the door. Seeing Yang Ying's delicate face, he smiled and said hello. Yang Ying also smiled slightly: "Brother Dugu, you are up, then we are ready to go!"
After leaving the inn door, they bought some food at the breakfast stall on the street, and the two of them hurried out of the city. As soon as they left the city gate, they had not walked far away, and they saw a very strong man walking towards them, it was Suo Qi, the "swift as the wind" of the Tianwang Gang! He came to the two of them, bowed to Yang Ying and hugged his fists and bowed: "Subordinates see the ...... to help" Before he finished speaking, Yang Ying hurriedly supported him: "There is no need to be polite here, Brother Suo, why are you the only one?" Did Yang You make them arrive?"
Suo Qi hurriedly replied: "Qi Qi help...... Girl, the day after you left, we repaired the big boat, left the island and came to Hukou Village, and got a message from Song Laowu, and Yang Youenvoy rushed over with everyone half a month ago. Because of the speed of the subordinates, I arrived first, and I got off the boat at dawn in the morning and asked the nearby boatman for help...... The whereabouts of the girl came to the city. Yang You told them to estimate that they would be able to arrive this afternoon at the latest. ”
After listening to Suo Qi's advice, Yang Ying nodded at him: "Okay, Brother Suo, then you can stay here first, on the one hand, wait to answer Yang You's envoys, and on the other hand, be responsible for inquiring to see if there is any other news." Notify me as soon as something happens. I'm going to go with Dugu Gongzi to the woods north of Balizhuang to meet Miss Zhang and them. By the way, when our people arrive, you will send someone to keep an eye on the shopkeeper Lu of the Balizhuang Inn, I think this person is still very suspicious. ”
"Subordinates obey orders!Please rest assured!" Suo Qi replied with his fists clenched. After that, he turned and walked towards the docks, where he quickly blended into the crowd in the distance and was never seen again. Yang Ying turned her head to look at Dugu Jian and urged: "Brother Dugu, let's go quickly, let's go and find Miss Zhang and Zhang Shaoxia." ”
About two or three miles north of Balizhuang, there is a large forest. It is full of greenery, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and green leaves, and the light and shadow are intertwined, making the whole forest look so quiet. Under the trees, there are all kinds of wild flowers, fragrant, and occasionally a breeze blows, which carries away the fragrance of the flowers, and invisibly turns into the sound of the wind, drifting into the distance. The whole forest was constantly moving and moving, and it seemed that it would never know tiredness......
Dugu Jian and Yang Ying rushed all the way, only to see that the cicadas and birds in the forest began to sing loudly, and the whole forest was noisy. But under the noise, there is a layer of loneliness breeding, which brings people unrest and a very empty forest. Zhang Rumeng and Zhang Linxin didn't seem to have arrived, only those big trees were in the field of vision of the two of them, Yang Ying saw Dugu Jian's anxious appearance, and proposed: "Brother Dugu, why don't we go into the grove and wait." ”
So the two of them slowly walked into the woods and waited for a long time in a slightly larger clearing, but they still did not see the shadows and traces of the Zhang brothers and sisters. Seeing that time passed little by little, most of the hours had passed, and now it could no longer be regarded as morning, but Zhang Linxin and Zhang Rumeng still did not appear.
At this time, not only Dugu Jian was very anxious, but even Yang Ying was a little anxious, she murmured softly: "Oh, it's all this time, why haven't Miss Zhang and Zhang Shaoxia come yet?" Dugu Jian has been worried about Zhang Linxin's whereabouts these days, and he has long been haggard. Originally, after getting the news that she and Zhang Rumeng were going to meet here, she was also in good spirits, but after a while, she didn't see anyone, and she was already a little overwhelmed in her heart. He couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't hold back any longer, and called out loudly: "Lin'er, Lin'er!" and turned his head to the other side and shouted: "Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang!" startled the birds in the forest, and they all flew into the air, and even the cicadas closed their mouths, and the forest suddenly fell silent, and there was no movement.
