When Liu Yue found Xianxian Tower, Qiu Yan was wrapping a plate of food with lotus leaves and oiled paper, tying it up with ropes, ignoring the sneering gazes of several scholars around him.

"Brother Yan, who are you?"

Seeing Qiu Yan's appearance, Liu Yue couldn't help but ask.

When Qiu Yan saw it, he smiled and said: "Cousin, you are here, come and help me carry two, these dishes were all invited to me by those people just now, but they left in advance, and they didn't even move the chopsticks, it's a pity to throw them away, I haven't seen meat at home for a few days, so I just took it back." ”

"Didn't you say that this was insulting to Sven before?" Liu Yue found that his cousin was vaguely different from before, if it was before, Qiu Yan would not only not do it himself, but also prevent others from doing it.

"Insulting Sven?" Qiu Yan smiled, "This will not insult Sven, extravagance and waste is shameful, okay, let's hurry up, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

In this way, Qiu Yan and Liu Yue took home large bags and small bags, and of course the family also had doubts, but they couldn't stand Qiu Yan's persuasion, and quickly put the food on the table and sat together.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little dull, but Qiu Yan deliberately spoke, which quickly relaxed the atmosphere.

"Yan'er, those people just now, are they really your friends?" After eating almost, Liu Huai couldn't help but ask out loud, he had been worrying about this matter at this time, "Those people, who are lawless on weekdays, are all treacherous people, they are the villains and harlequins in the play, and they are the most fickle, and they can't have deep friendships." ”

When Qiu Yan heard this, he put down his chopsticks: "Uncle, don't worry, I know that I know the temperament of those people very well, but at the moment, they are just forbearing, and when the limelight passes, they will definitely not give up, and they will definitely pick quarrels and provoke trouble." ”

"Since you know, why do you still communicate with them?" As soon as he heard this, Liu Huai's temper came up, since Qiu Yan's family had an accident and fled to Yuanning, Liu Huai regarded him as a member of the family, caring and loving, and now when he heard Qiu Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel that he hated iron and steel.

"Uncle Mo is angry," seeing Liu Huai's anger, Qiu Yan left the bench, "Now that the family is in trouble, Qiu Yan lives in the courtyard every day, and he can't help, and he feels very guilty, so he made this decision." ”

"If there is something at home, I am the head of the family, so why do you need to worry about it. Liu Huai's anger subsided a little, "Besides, there is trouble at home, what's the use of finding some splashes and military ruffians?"

As soon as he said this, he heard a shout coming from outside the courtyard, and when he heard the sound, Liu Huai couldn't rest assured, put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out, Qiu Yan and Liu Yue followed.

As soon as he got out of the house, he saw Li Bo and Wang Qiao'er standing outside the door, still holding two packages in their hands, and when they saw Qiu Yan coming out, they immediately walked up and handed over the packages.

"Young Master Qiu, everything you want is inside, and I hope that Gongzi can keep his promise. ”

Looking at the package with a reluctant face, Li Bo gritted his teeth and withdrew his gaze, arched his hand at Qiu Yan, and left with Wang Qiao'er.

"What is this?"

Hearing Liu Huai's inquiry, Qiu Yan put the package in the other party's hand.

After taking over the burden, Liu Huai's body paused slightly, this package was much heavier than he imagined, and when he touched it again, there was a collision sound inside, and the color immediately changed.

"These are ......"

Sensing the contents of the bag, Liu Huai gasped, turned his head to look, and saw that Li Bo and the others were gone, he had the heart to chase them, but was pulled into the house by Qiu Yan.

Back in the house, Liu Huai wanted to stop talking, but suddenly asked Qiu Yan's aunt, aunt and others to remove the dishes and chopsticks, leave first, and then leave the two packages still on the table.

I heard a "bang", and the package spread out, revealing the contents inside, which were strings of copper coins and a few small silver cakes!

"What's going on?" Liu Yue was stunned when he saw these things.

This shijie, seven hundred and seventy dollars for the consistent, has always been equal to one tael of silver, several silver cakes of different sizes, obviously cast by a private kiln, but add up to six or seven taels, a cursory look, two packages contain a total of twelve or three taels of silver!

Twelve or three taels, that is, eight or nine thousand yuan, this is a big number, you know, although the price has risen, but in Yuanning Mansion, seven dollars can buy a bucket of rice, a pound of miscellaneous salt can be sold for twenty yuan, and an acre of land in the suburban county is only eight or nine hundred yuan!

Unlike Liu Yue, who was stunned, Liu Huai glared at Qiu Yan and said angrily: "You actually blackmail others?"

Qiu Yan was not in a hurry, and said in his mouth: "Uncle clearly sees that if there is nothing to do and he takes the initiative to find others, it is blackmail, but today it is Li Bo and they came to the door, not only threatening me, but also acting against the Liu family, even my aunt, aunt and sister-in-law are frightened, and I can't let them go." ”

When Liu Huai heard this, he shook his head: "You have taken so much money, how can they take a break? From now on, there will be no peace! Let's send it back quickly......

"Leniency and strictness, virtue and punishment, you can't have both, you have kindness to revenge, you can't tolerate revenge, blindly tolerant of others, not kindness, but connivance," Qiu Yan said first, and then changed the conversation, "But what my uncle said is reasonable, that group of people must have a grudge, for the sake of safety, this Yuanning City can't stay, please ask my uncle's family to pack up and go to Qingchang with me to settle down temporarily." ”

"You ......" Liu Huai stammered, these days, Qiu Yan had mentioned that Liu Huai's family should temporarily leave Yuanning and live in Qingchang for a while to avoid the limelight, but the old Liu family took root in Yuanning, of course he would not agree.

It's just that in the past few days, he has gone out to look for work, but he has run into walls everywhere, and those shopkeepers and acquaintances know that Liu Huai's father and son were driven out by the Pan Mansion, how dare they take them in? On the other hand, Liu Huai, who has returned home early and is not young, is already a little unbearable, and now when he hears this proposal again, he thinks of what has happened in the past few days, and he does not immediately refuse.

Next to him, Liu Yue looked at the silver money on the table, and was a little moved, but his father didn't agree, of course he didn't dare to act on his behalf.

At this time, I heard Qiu Yan say: "If my uncle is unwilling, then Qiu Yan can only go on the road alone, but with these silver coins on his body, and he is a bad prankster, a military ruffian, whether he can return to Qingchang County alive is two words, and I don't know about financial affairs, if people cheat the money, it will be bad." ”

"This ......," Liu Huai groaned.

"Father, what my cousin said is not unreasonable......"

Seeing that his father was a little moved, Liu Yue also comforted him, and with Qiu Yan's words, Liu Huai finally made up his mind.

"Then go to Qingchang to live for a while, and wait for the limelight to pass......"

With a decision, the father and son of the Liu family began to set off on a certain day, but were interrupted by Qiu Yan's words-

"In that case, I'll go to the car dealer and hire a carriage, let's stop dragging it and leave today." ”

"It's too urgent. Liu Huai shook his head.

"It's better to be sooner rather than later, if it's late, things will change, who knows if Li Bo and they are preparing to attack the mansion at night? In fact, there is no need to pack up too much things at home, so much money, when you get to the place, spend money to buy it, this money is a disaster to stay on your body, it is better to spend it. Besides, there is a good medical center in Qingchang County, and there is no doctor here who can save my cousin, so it is better to go to Qingchang County to give it a try. ”

After some rhetoric, Liu Huai was finally convinced, and then he notified his aunt and aunt, although many female relatives felt in a hurry, but they didn't say much, the Liu family had nothing valuable, packed up some clothes, land deeds, and found a sedan chair to bring the unconscious Pan Rongniang.

"This courtyard was handed down from my ancestors, but I didn't expect it to come to my generation, but it ......"

Looking back at the closed courtyard, Liu Huai sighed.

Liu Yue hurriedly comforted: "Father, it's not like we're not coming back, besides, Qingchang is not far away, and every two or three months in the future, I will come over once to clean the courtyard." ”

"I'm getting old, it's hard to say if I can come back. Liu Huai shook his head.

When Qiu Yan heard this, he felt a faint guilt in his heart, and comforted: "Uncle don't worry, maybe it won't be long before you can come back in style." As the words fell, a trace of black gas that was rare for ordinary people came out of the ground and wrapped around Qiu Yan's body.

Liu Huai still shook his head, only saying that his son and nephew were comforting.

The door was locked, and the family left under the gaze of the neighbors.

With money on his body, it is not difficult to do things, and an hour later, the Liu family left the city with a caravan.

Waiting for the sun to set, the carriage just arrived at a village and town, nearly ten miles away from Yuanning City, it was not early to see the sky, the coachman who drove into the village and stayed at the inn.

After dinner, the family rested separately, and the men and women were divided into two rooms.

"Wake up when you sleep, don't die too much. After instructing Liu Yue and Qiu Yan a few words, Liu Huai lay down first, and it didn't take long for him to snore, he was old and lacked energy.

"Brother Yan, you have a lot of energy to deal with those splashes, go to sleep, I'll keep vigil. Liu Yue persuaded Qiu Yan, blew out the candle, and sat at the table.

The three of them slept in one room, and because they were afraid that their money would be exposed, someone had to keep vigil.

Qiu Yan didn't shirk either, and fell asleep.

"Everything is almost arranged, it's time to act according to Jihua. ”

Lying on the dry and hard bed, Qiu Yan's thoughts turned, and his mind led the soul to gather in one place, pouring out from the heavenly spirit.

The soul went out of the body, turned around the room, and then floated out of the window with a twist, and then the blue light gushed out of the soul, wrapped the soul body, and flew out in the direction of Yuanning City.

The night is getting darker.

PS: There is another shift in the evening.
