Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dragon and Phoenix Lock
"This boy came here late at night, I don't know what to do?"
Looking at the man in white in front of him, the old man felt slightly glad in his heart, the person in front of him was very young, about twenty, with a white face and a very elegant face, he should not be a great evil, seeing that he was dressed very old, and he was holding a silver sword in his hand, could it be that he was a down-and-out person from the rivers and lakes? No wonder he was able to get on the boat.
The man in white smiled and said, "In Xia Qinshuang, I don't know if I can spend the night on the old man's boat, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."
"This is not a secret to the son, my granddaughter is also in the boat, it is really inconvenient, please forgive the son" The old man said with a sad face.
Qin Shuang was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I just want to spend the night at the bow of the boat, not to enter the ship."
"Oh! I see, it's okay, Childe, please."
The old man's heart was relieved, he smiled at Qin Shuang and turned around and entered the boat.
"Grandpa, who is it, and you are still on our boat so late?" the girl asked impatiently when she heard her grandfather come in.
The old man sat down again and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a down-and-out person, he wants to spend the night outside our boat, I see him as kind, so I agreed to him, you don't know the way, Grandpa Shicai was shocked, if it's really a bad person, how can it be good!".
"Ahh
The old man picked up the chopsticks, put a pickle in his mouth, chewed it twice, and said: "That person is white and clean, a very handsome person, no matter how you look at it, he is the son of a big family, and I don't know why he fell into such a look."
After hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, since he doesn't look like a bad person, let him come in and eat something! Don't you always teach me that if someone else is in trouble, you can help him? Now that the man must be very hungry, just give him some food to eat!"
"Well, I'll bring him something," agreed the old man.
The girl stopped, "Grandpa, let's call him in, it's just a meal, and I have a little more to ask him."
"You, it's fake to invite people to dinner, and it's true that you want to ask people about the news, right?"
The old man smiled bitterly and pointed at the girl, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and walked out of the houseboat.
As soon as he got out of the houseboat, the old man saw Qin Shuang with his back to him, sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, without the slightest abnormal movement, nodding secretly, the old man quickly walked up to Qin Shuang and called: "Qin Gongzi, there are still some coarse tea and light rice in the old house, if you don't dislike it, just go in with the old man to eat a little?"
"It's not convenient, is it?"
Qin Shuang's face showed a hint of condensation, he wanted to refuse directly, but there was a pain in his stomach, and then he remembered that after he finished eating the food in the cave, he hadn't eaten for several days.
Seeing Qin Shuang's expression, the old man still didn't understand, and said with a smile: "Qin Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, it's my granddaughter who wants you to go, and Gongzi looks like he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, right? It just so happens that my granddaughter also has something to ask Qin Gongzi."
Qin Shuang was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "In this way, I'm welcome, thank you!"
As soon as the two entered the houseboat, the old man called to the girl: "Zining, Gongzi Qin is here."
The girl smiled and said, "Gongzi Qin, sit down, my eyes are inconvenient, I can't pour tea for Gongzi, please forgive me."
"Miss Zining doesn't have to be like this, it's me who bothered the two, how dare I trouble you" Qin Shuang saw the girl's eyes, and felt sympathy in her heart, and secretly said God is really ruthless, such a good girl has lost her most precious eye.
"Come, Qin Gongzi eat a little more, don't dislike the coarse tea and light rice!"
The old man filled a full bowl of rice and replaced it in Qin Shuang's hand, and pushed Qin Shuang to a stool and sat down.
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie" The attitude of this family made Qin Shuang feel good, what a good family!
Although Qin Shuang was very hungry now, he was not in a hurry at all when he was eating, every movement was so elegant, maybe this was the innate temperament of the nobles, suddenly, something on the table caught Qin Shuang's attention.
"This is the Dragon and Phoenix Lock, how could it be here?" Qin Shuang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and looked at the small wooden box on the table in disbelief.
"Dragon and phoenix locks?"
Zi Ning was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked, "What did Gongzi Qin say, but this jade lock?"
"Yes, I have a junior brother, and he has a piece of this jade lock on his body, but his is a dragon lock, and yours is a phoenix lock, is it that you are the little girl that my junior brother said?" Qin Shuang was also very surprised, he really couldn't imagine that he could see something related to his junior brother here.
"Have you seen him? Tell me, where is he? Is his name Yan Lin?" the girl said excitedly to Qin Shuang.
"Yan Lin?"
Qin Shuang was shocked in her heart, and said dumbfoundedly: "It turns out that you are really that little girl."
The old man was also very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Does Gongzi Qin recognize Yan Lin?"
As for where he is now, I don't know, before I went on a mission, my junior brother had already been sent by the master to suppress the rebel gang, and now I don't know if he has returned to the world."
After listening to Qin Shuang's words, the old man was completely dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "He is actually a personal disciple of the Heavenly Lord?"
Although the old man is an ordinary person, but the world's first gang Tianxia Hui has heard of it, it is said that it is a very powerful gang, the gang leader is very strong and strong, I didn't expect that the stinky boy back then would be a disciple of Xiongba, it is really incredible.
The girl was also slightly moved, and asked excitedly, "Then did he mention me to Childe?"
"Of course, my junior brother once told me that when he was about to starve to death, a little girl gave him three life-saving steamed buns, he said that the steamed buns were very sweet and sweet, he had never eaten such delicious steamed buns, he said, when he grows up, he must marry you, and he also said that he will not marry anyone except you" Qin Shuang said with a serious face.
After hearing this, the girl's eyes were already full of tears, and she choked up and said, "Then why didn't he come to me all the time? Did he forget me?"
"Impossible, Miss Zining, I believe that the junior brother is definitely not that kind of person, not to mention, if he doesn't like you, how can he leave you the ancestral heirloom dragon and phoenix lock? That has always been the token of his Yan family" Qin Shuang said.
The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Master Qin, my family Zining got a strange disease ten years ago, and her eyes are already blind, do you think he still wants her?"
Hearing her grandfather's words, the girl's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked helplessly at Qin Shuang, but unfortunately her eyes couldn't see anything anymore.
Qin Shuang pondered for a moment, and said in a resolute tone: "Miss Zining, don't worry, he will still listen to the words of my senior brother, if he really does something sorry for you, I will definitely stand on your side and teach him a hard lesson."
"Xie Lu Xie Gongzi, however, please don't embarrass him, I have the opportunity to hope that Gongzi will help me bring him a word, tell him that I have been waiting for him" The girl's face was resolute, and Qin Shuang was moved.
Seeing that the girl was so reasonable, Qin Shuang secretly appreciated it in her heart, and promised: "Girl, don't worry, if you say, I will definitely bring it, and I have almost eaten it, so I will go out first, you can use it slowly."
"Qin Gongzi, it's windy outside, let's rest inside" Seeing that Qin Shuang was going to go out to sleep, the old man hurriedly dissuaded.
Qin Shuang shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, our martial arts practitioners are the same everywhere, you better rest early."
After speaking, Qin Shuang directly turned around and walked out of the houseboat, walked to the bow of the boat again and sat down cross-legged.
"Grandpa, go and send a quilt to Qin Gongzi, it's windy outside, he'll catch a cold," Zi Ning said.
"Okay, grandpa will go right away"
The old man finally showed a sincere smile on his face, his granddaughter's marriage has always been the thing he is most worried about, now it's okay, there is finally news of that person, it seems that that person has quite a status, and his granddaughter will not suffer if he follows him in the future.
