who and the rivers and lakes

Zhan Zhao watched the restaurant carefully while drinking the porridge.

The traces of last night's fierce battle can still be seen everywhere, but the floor has been cleaned. Although the doors and windows have not been repaired, they are still tidy as much as possible.Thinking that Wu San and Liu Huai hadn't slept all night, it really took a little effort to clean up everything, and the hot porridge and flatbread must have been made early.Look at Wu San again, standing by Ah Yue's table, still protecting his disabled left hand on his chest, trying to persuade and take care of him, as if nothing happened to his shop.Just looking at his humble smile, fat and clumsy body, who would have thought that he would be a top expert?

Ah Yue lowered her head and didn't notice Wu San's attentiveness at all, she seemed to be preoccupied, maybe she was thinking about the six fingers on the left hand of the rescuer who suddenly appeared last night.

Not only Zhan Zhao was sizing Wu San carefully, but Bai Yutang followed his gaze for a long time, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Are you suspicious of him? Do you want me to try?"

Zhan Zhao turned to look at him, then shook his head.

Only Zhan Zhao and Ah Yue saw the masked man's six fingers on his left hand last night, and no one else knew about it.

Ouyang Chun looked at the porridge bowl in front of him, and suddenly interjected, "The martial arts of the masked man last night are from the same source as the Moonlight Clan."

Who is Ouyang Chun?What kind of person is Zhan Zhao?Just looking at Wu San's figure and gait, they were almost sure that the masked man last night was Wu San, but they didn't know why he appeared masked, and they didn't know how he was related to the Moonlight Clan.Looking at the attitudes of Ah Yue and An Ye, although they have been coming and going to this inn for many years, they just treat Wu San as an ordinary innkeeper, and it seems that they have no further relationship with each other.But if there is really no relationship between them, why does Wu San look at Ah Yue and An Ye so differently from others?How could his martial arts have the same origin as Ah Yue and An Ye?And why did he not hesitate to show up to rescue Ah Yue last night?

Bai Yutang couldn't bear it any longer, so he stood up.

Zhan Zhao grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"

"Drag that Wu San over here and ask him clearly," Bai Yutang said.

"No, without conclusive evidence, don't startle the snake." Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang looked back at him carefully, and asked, "You still have something to hide from me, right? Why are you so timid?"

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Ouyang Chun stood up and didn't look at Zhan Zhao, but the words were obviously addressed to Zhan Zhao, "I don't care about any officials or officials. Once anyone is found to be close to Li Lilong It's about death, and Qibao Dao will never leave anyone behind!" After he finished speaking, he took Gong Qianshan and Li Xiaoli away.

Bai Yutang looked at Ouyang Chun's back, then looked at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Do you think Wu Sanhui is the murderer of Li Lilong?"

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge, without answering, he seemed to hesitate, before he said, "I don't know."

Bai Yutang was indignant, but he also knew that this matter involved too much, so he could only hold back his temper, and took the big cake as an angry enemy, biting it hard one after another, and kept finding fault with Ding Yuehua.

Zhan Zhao drank the porridge, leaned back in the chair, protected his right arm with his left hand, and while listening to Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua's exchange of words, he secretly practiced kung fu to expel poison and heal his wounds.He only has [-]% of his internal strength left, and he only hopes that through diligent practice, he can recover more of his strength as soon as possible.Fortunately, he already has profound internal strength, and the exercises he has learned have extremely strong self-generating power, and his progress can be considered rapid.

After the assassination of the Xixia killer that night, everything seemed to be back to normal.The doors and windows of the inn were all repaired, Wu San sat behind the counter and fiddled with the abacus from morning to night, Liu Huai took a nap on the pillars of the house when he was free, and the residents of the town still came and went to ask Ah Yue for medical treatment and rescue.

Ouyang Chun took Gong Qianshan and Li Xiaoli to go out every day to search for the murderer's trail in the town.Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua still had disagreements, so they quarreled.But Zhan Zhao's injury is getting better day by day, he sits at the table by the window in the restaurant all day long, looking outside and then inside, playing with a cup of tea in his hand, whether to drink or not, he looks calm and calm on the outside, what he thinks in his heart But it was: "What is the person who met the appointment waiting for? Why did he refuse to show up? And the suspect related to Li Lilong's case is almost ready to be revealed. That person clearly knows that his identity has been exposed, so why didn't he run away or continue? Take other actions?"

Bai Yutang was very anxious. Every time he looked at Zhan Zhao, he thought to himself: "This cat is full of ghost ideas, and keeps his mouth shut. He doesn't say a word, and always persuades me to take Yuehua away. Hmph, the more you beat around the bush If you want to send us away, it means the more dangerous the situation is, Fifth Master, I will not let you succeed, even if you are killed, you will not leave this inn alone. But then again, what is this stinky cat waiting for?"

Two days have passed like this. If it weren’t for the people from the Moonlight Clan who came to report to Ah Yue several times a day about the changes in the various weird devices that detect the celestial phenomena installed in various places in the town, it seems that the life in Qiongta Town could have been so dull. As things go on, people almost forget that in the near future, there will be an abnormally large sandstorm, and the entire Qiongta Town is in danger of being wiped out at any time.

At noon that day, a member of the Moonlight Clan in black rushed into Wu San Inn, rudely brushed aside the townspeople surrounding Ah Yue, and leaned into her ear and said, "High Priest, today's measuring bowl has changed. The dust on the surface of the water was three times more than usual."

Ah Yue raised her head, her eyes lit up, and said, "Go back and observe, and report to me at any time." She turned her head and called the members of the Guang Clan for several months, and whispered a few words.Several clansmen hurried out of the inn immediately.

In the evening when he arrived, Ah Yue went to Zhan Zhao's room to change his dressing.She changed medicine for Zhan Zhao and treated his injuries for several days, she was very punctual and very careful, but she seldom spoke, her eyes seemed to have thousands of words in her eyes, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Although she was wearing gloves, she treated the wound lightly and skillfully. She changed the dressing for Zhan Zhao and wrapped up the wound. After thinking for a while, she said, "The sandstorm is coming, and it won't last more than a day or two." She still didn't seem to care He is used to talking with Zhan Zhao, and every time he doesn't wait for the words to come out, his cheeks turn red first, his eyes wander, and he is infinitely shy, and he is completely different from the proud and majestic high priest he usually shows in front of outsiders.

Zhan Zhao looked up at her and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Ah Yue avoided his gaze, her cheeks were still flushed, but her tone was firm.

"How to prepare for prevention in Qiongta Town? If necessary, please ask the high priest to order, and we will try our best to help."

"My clansmen have made arrangements, you...you should rest in peace." She suddenly remembered something, lowered her head, bit her lips with fine white teeth, and said softly: "You don't need to call me the high priest, call me the high priest." I..." She seemed to be taking a breath with difficulty, her voice was a little trembling, and she continued: "You...you can call me Ah Yue."

"Miss Ah Yue." Zhan Zhao had no other thoughts, and called out casually.

Hearing this, Ah Yue's cheeks became brighter red, shy and joyful at the same time.

"Do your people come to Qiongta Town every year to help resist sandstorms?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Seeing that he changed the subject, Ah Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little disappointed. She managed to calm down and said, "Yes, we have lived in this desert for three generations, helping the local townspeople to resist sandstorms, and also helping to build water conservancy and treat diseases to save people." .”

Zhan Zhao seemed to be just chatting, and asked a lot about the origins of the Moonlight Clan.

It's a pity that Ah Yue doesn't know much about the past. She only said that her parents died since she was a child. Together with her elder brother, she led the Moonlight Clan to continue living in this desert, and continued to help people in the desert survive the cruel environment. Survive.According to her, the ancestors of the Moonlight Clan were originally a large family in the south of the Yangtze River. They were exiled to this desert by the court only because they participated in the rebellion. They stayed for nearly a hundred years and never returned to their hometown.

The night was getting dark, Ah Yue sat quietly at the table with her head lowered, but she didn't intend to leave yet.

Zhan Zhao looked at her, thinking that although the Moonlight Clan might seem to be playing tricks and pretending to be ghosts, for decades, they have worked tirelessly to help the local people resist sandstorms, which is admirable.

He suddenly remembered something, got up straight and asked, "You said that the town of Qiongta is ready to resist the arrival of sandstorms, how about outside the town?"

Ah Yue had never seen him so anxious before. She gave him a strange look and said, "Of course there is no need to prepare outside the town. We have arranged for all the townspeople to stay in the town for a few days and must not go out."

Zhan Zhao asked, "How powerful is the destructive force of this sandstorm?"

Ah Yue said: "No one, no animal, no grass can be spared wherever it goes."

Zhan Zhao immediately stood up and said, "Too bad, King Guanbei and his iron cavalry are currently stationed outside the town, and they have a ten-day appointment with me."

Ah Yue also became anxious, and said: "When the sandstorm comes, thousands of troops can't resist it, so I'll send someone to notify the King of Guanbei to enter the town."

Zhan Zhao shook his head, and said, "If he hadn't encountered the power of this sandstorm in person, with Guan Bei's temperament, he would never believe people's words easily. I should go and persuade him in person." He said, picking up the sandstorm on the table Juque rushed out of the room.

Before he could leave the inn, he saw Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua coming in from outside talking and laughing.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's hurried expression, Bai Yutang pulled him to ask Ming where he was going, and said, "That Guanbei king is so arrogant and rude, you still go to help him, why don't you let him see how severe the sandstorm is?"

Zhan Zhao sighed, and said, "The King of Guanbei is stationed at the border gate. His safety is related to the safety of the border gate. How can we not save him?"

Bai Yutang said: "Okay, if you have to go, I'll go with you."

Ding Yuehua said, "I'll go too."

Zhan Zhao looked at them and said, "No, you can stay here to help the townspeople resist the sandstorm." He knew Bai Yutang's temperament so well that he didn't wait for the other party's rebuttal, and then said, "Besides, you stay in the inn. You can also take care of the people here for me, in case something happens."

He spoke very resolutely, Bai Yutang was unwilling at first, but after thinking about it, although he couldn't accompany him, he was able to gain Zhan Zhao's trust and help guard several witnesses related to the case, so he became happy again, nodding his head in agreement.Ding Yuehua couldn't get in the way, and could only watch Zhan Zhao get on his horse and leave.

The night sky is like ink, the moonlight is like flowers, and the surroundings are peaceful, except for the occasional chirping of small insects.How could such a peaceful and beautiful night be the eve of disaster?

Zhan Zhao urged the horse to gallop.Every jolt of the horse's back made the wound on his right chest ache, but he held the rein without any relaxation, but urged it even more urgently.Regardless of whether it is public or private, he must promptly notify King Guanbei to withdraw to Qiongta Town, and he must not watch the elite soldiers guarding the border be destroyed by the big sandstorm.

In the quiet night, the sound of the horse's hooves was particularly clear and loud, but this night he was not the only one galloping the horse, and the sound of another horse's hoofs came from behind him.

Zhan Zhao reined in and waited for the people behind him to catch up.

The one who came running was also a healthy horse, and the man on the horse, with a slim figure and a white dress like a fairy, was none other than the high priest Ah Yue.

Zhan Zhao quietly watched the rider approaching quickly, looked at the white belt that was blown up by the wind, felt dazed for a while, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, also under the moon, he and A Yue stood beside the city wall. Go up, look at the boundless sky, and also look at the wild desert...

Ah Yue rushed to her eyes in a blink of an eye, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were bright, like stars twinkling in the sky, and she said, "I'll go with you." Before Zhan Zhao could speak, she quickly said, "I am most familiar with the environment here." , I am also familiar with sandstorms, and I will definitely help you."

Zhan Zhao looked at her, speechless.In this ruthless and unpredictable desert, if there is one person who can help him, it must be Ah Yue.
