Chapter 128: Looking for Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying

Shi Junliang, Liu Zhijie, and the other sect leaders all stood in the courtyard of the Luo Shen sect, all anxiously waiting for news from the beggar gang disciples. It's the fifth day now, and every day I receive any news without Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying. Will Zhou Qinghai be a fish into the sea, so that their group of righteous people in the rivers and lakes gathered in Luoyang City is just a waste of time, energy and money, and what is even more terrifying is that in the vast ocean, it is impossible for them to look for Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying aimlessly together, if they spread out like a big net to find Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying, with Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying's martial arts, they will definitely break many of them one by one. The people of the rivers and lakes are not afraid of death, but the worthlessness of death is something they cannot accept no matter what. Some of them face death and find a high-sounding reason for their lives to be righteous and not ridiculed by others. One by one, they are like ants on a hot pot, constantly circling in place, and after a while you look at me, I look at you.

A beggar disciple looked serious and quickly ran back towards Xiao Yuyang. More than a dozen beggar gang disciples have been running back and forth like this many times, all of them are reporting to the gang leader, and there is no news of Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the beggar gang disciple quickly came to report, Xiao Yuyang was too lazy to turn around, still leaning sideways, looking at the sun in the sky. Shi Junliang and the other heads of various factions seemed to really hear what Xiao Yuyang thought of, and they were either fiddling with their clothes or chatting with other heads. The beggar gang disciples knelt in front of Xiao Yuyang, but Xiao Yuyang still didn't look at him. The beggar disciple arched his hand and said, Helper, we have found out the whereabouts of Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying. When everyone present heard this, they all thought that they had heard it wrong, but they seemed to feel that what this beggar disciple said was different from what they had said many times before, and they looked at the beggar disciple strangely. The beggar helped the disciples think about what they said, and felt that they were not wrong, why did they all look at him with such strange eyes. He said worriedly again, help, we have found out the whereabouts of Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying. The people in the rivers and lakes present heard it clearly this time, they found Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying, Xiao Yuyang said that you did a good job this time, wait to kill Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying, and after returning to the gang, I will reward you well, you go and inform the disciples of the beggar gang now, prepare things, and wait for orders with you. When Xiao Yuyang said these words, the heads of the other sects also instructed the disciples of their respective sects to go back and prepare, waiting for the order to leave. At this time, Shi Junliang stood up and said that the heads of various factions, Lao Qu had a suggestion, and he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. Shi Junliang has a lofty position in the rivers and lakes, how dare others not listen to his words, and they all say, Uncle Shishi, Uncle Shishi, if you have any orders, they will obey them. Shi Junliang said, we all know that Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying's martial arts are very strong, the disciples of our various factions are not the opponents of the two of them at all, and to hunt them down is just to lose their lives in vain. The heads of the various factions present said that Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi were really Buddhist monks, and they would definitely obey them.

After discussion, Ren Xueping instructed the cook to cook immediately. After the meal was ready, after Ren Xueping said that she was invited, the heads of each faction lost the usual red tape, quickly finished the meal without informality, and then set off to find Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying.

Xue Yingying stood in front of the clear stream and combed her braids. The comb in Xue Yingying's hand suddenly fell, holding the stone by the river with one hand and covering her chest with the other. Since she was a child, Xue Yingying has never had colic in her chest, why does her chest hurt for no reason today, Xue Yingying is puzzled. After a while, the colic in Xue Yingying's chest stopped, but Xue Yingying still felt as if a stone was pressing on her chest, and she felt uncomfortable. Xue Yingying picked up the comb and returned to the front of the house with a basket full of fresh fruits. In front of the house, Zhou Qinghai and Xiaocao were chopping firewood. The three of them lived freely in the mountains, Zhou Qinghai forgot his noble mission of going down to Huashan, and lived an idyllic life in this mountain with Xue Yingying and Xiaocao. Xue Yingying sometimes picks fresh fruits in the mountains, Zhou Qinghai sometimes hunts in the mountains, and Xiaocao sometimes digs potatoes from the slopes. Xue Yingying saw that Zhou Qinghai was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his body were partially soaked. Xue Yingying took out a fruit from the basket in her hand and handed it to Zhou Qinghai, Zhou Qinghai raised his head and said that he was busy now, and he would eat it later. Xiaocao suddenly stretched out her hand and snatched the fruit from Xue Yingying's hand, without waiting for Xue Yingying to speak, she took a big bite on the fruit, and then opened her mouth to show her teeth and laughed. Xue Yingying pretended to be angry and said, It's not for you, why are you so fast. Xiaocao squeezed her eyebrows at Xue Yingying, and then pointed at Zhou Qinghai and said, Your brother Hai doesn't eat it, so I have to eat it. Zhou Qinghai said, Xiaocao is right, I can't eat it now, let Xiaocao eat it. Xue Yingying lifted the basket and left angrily. When he walked to the door, he stomped his feet on the threshold with his little feet, and Zhou Qinghai heard the sound of stomping his feet and looked back at Xue Yingying strangely. Xue Yingying saw Zhou Qinghai's puzzled gaze, and her heart became even more angry, and she walked into the house angrily. Take the wild vegetables out of the basket and chop them hard with a kitchen knife. You fool, you are not as good as a child, don't you not eat, well, after you chop wood, you won't let you eat. The sound of chopping vegetables and chopping wood echoed in the valley. Xiaocao raised her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a figure flash in the woods in the mountains and disappear quickly. Xiaocao said to Zhou Qinghai, he seemed to see a person in the west, Zhou Qinghai turned around, looked at it for a while, didn't see anyone, and said Are you wrong. Xiaocao touched his head and said, my eyes are very good, I usually don't miss anything, just now I saw a person's body out of the woods, and quickly hid in the grass. Zhou Qinghai said, did you see the beast, usually we always fight the beast, and the beast is afraid when we see it now. Xiaocao touched her head again and said that maybe I was wrong. After the firewood was chopped, Xiaocao walked to the house with the firewood and began to cook on the fire.

Shi Junliang led the heads of various factions to find the hiding place of Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying under the leadership of the beggar gang disciples. Step by step, they walked into the room where Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying lived, and cautiously approached them. The moment Wang Huasheng and Xiaocao's eyes met, Wang Huasheng immediately hid in the grass. Wang Huasheng said to Shi Junliang, did I leak my identity just now? Shi Junliang said that in this deserted place, they may also think that they are dazzled, and we will observe in the grass for a while to see if they are running away or still chopping wood, and then make a decision whether to immediately pursue and kill Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying, or to surround them and then pursue them. After a while, they saw that Zhou Qinghai and Xiaocao were still chopping firewood, and they still surrounded Zhou Qinghai and Xue Yingying in the middle of the house according to the original plan.

Xiaocao thought that it was a person she had seen just now, not a beast. Xiaocao told Xue Yingying about the doubts in her heart. Xue Yingying has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and knows that their current situation is very dangerous.
