Except for Ah Po and Xiao Shiliu, who were the same as usual, the rest of the people were silent during the meal, but Qiu Lingfu noticed that they were all looking carefully at him when they looked at him.

This is the atmosphere that Qiu Lingfu likes.

He is better at putting on a relaxed gesture in a tense atmosphere and fooling others than gentle eyes and threats of intimacy.

"What is Young Master Qiu thinking?" Granny Liu glanced at him sharply.

This Granny Liu was deliberately putting pressure on herself, and Qiu Lingfu knew it well.He said naively: "I was thinking that today's dish is rich enough."

Old Uncle Xu said: "Hey! I will go to Chongyun Mountain after today. The Bai family has become a mass grave. There is nothing to eat on this mountain. Everyone eat more now."

There is something in Granny Liu's words: "I live in the mountains all year round, but it's a pity that Lao Xu's handicraft has been done with great difficulty, but only one person is missing."

"Mother-in-law." Ah Po couldn't help persuading in a low voice.

Granny Liu seemed to be holding back, but she stood up after a moment of silence, with an excited expression on her face: "The Bai family died due to injustice, and I also know the truth not to jump to conclusions based on rumors."

He took a deep breath, and his tone became calmer again: "Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people in vain. But I just need to ask Young Master Qiu——"

Granny Liu drew out her long sword, crossed the table full of delicious dishes, pointed at Qiu Lingfu: "Did you kill Guiren?"

Although Qiu Lingfu was prepared, he still couldn't hold back the wandering eyes when he heard these words.No matter what the situation is, he is the best at lying, but at this moment his eyes want to look at Ah Po.

He controlled himself and looked directly at Granny Liu: "No."

Old Uncle Xu and Granny Liu carefully observed the expression on Qiu Lingfu's face, but did not speak, as if they wanted to put pressure on Qiu Lingfu and expose the lie by themselves.

But Xiao Shiliu couldn't stop talking: "We went back to Chongyun Mountain once, and saw that Guiren's package was in his room. Inside the package, he didn't know where he came from. There were eleven pills in total. Mu Rong analyzed him. Already poisoned..."

"Sixteen!" Ah Po shouted.

But Xiao Shiliu insisted: "Sooner or later, you have to know, why do you have to act like you know everything and don't talk, are you tired? Look, Granny Liu is so angry, how can she hide it from Young Master Qiu? It’s better to open the skylight and speak out.”

Ah Po was about to watch Qiu Lingfu's expression carefully, but unexpectedly, the eyes of the two met directly.

Qiu Lingfu averted his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Shiliu: "Say it."

Xiao Shiliu noticed the eye contact between the two, and said with a smile: "We saw that there was a note signed by the brothel in Guiren's bag, so we went down the mountain to ask, only to find out that the boy had been doing odd jobs all along, and had already settled and left a few days ago. But the strange thing is that the accumulated money was left in the cave without taking any money, and the person disappeared again. This is an unexpected encounter.”

At the end of Qiu Lingfu's hearing, he had already drawn a picture of the undecided matter in his chest, but he calmed down and asked, "But let's not say that this person is dead, your Bai family has made so many enemies, why do you immediately suspect me?" Come on? Aren't you afraid of being used as pawns?"

Granny Liu sneered and said: "But he met the accident on Chongyun Mountain. On Chongyun Mountain, he will only meet you and Ah Po. Don't tell me...you still want to say that Ah Po was the victim?"

Qiu Lingfu was calm, and spoke in an orderly manner: "The terrain on Chongyun Mountain is difficult and dangerous. There are thousands of possibilities for an accident to happen to a person who is poisoned. As long as he is delayed and fails to take the medicine, he may die elsewhere. You guys Shouldn't we go and find out what kind of poison the medicine suppresses, and then find out the origin of the poison, maybe we will be enlightened."

Granny Liu fell silent after hearing this, with a slight hesitation on her expression.

"But when we find someone who knows poison, you may have escaped." Uncle Xu thought while stroking his beard.

Qiu Lingfu shook his head: "I won't run away, I'll wait for you to find that person. I don't want to let Ah Po leave me because of that stupid kid."

He raised his voice again, as if he wanted to make people angry: "People from the Jianghu were used as pawns, causing the Bai family to be wiped out. You escaped from death, so you should kill innocent people without knowing right and wrong now, right?"

"You!" With just one sentence, Granny Liu was very angry, but fortunately Shen Xiaoru stopped her.

"You are quite old, but I think Ah Po is much more transparent than you." Qiu Lingfu was still muttering.

At this moment, the atmosphere was deadlocked, and no one took a few bites of a table of good dishes. Shen Xiaoru hurriedly said: "All the sects in the world will come here, and the girl from Gudi Yuezhu is also here. Why don't you think of a way to ask the poison, maybe there is someone there. clue."

Granny Liu was in a strange mood: "Instead of being so troublesome, why not ask Young Master Qiu if he has a candidate for the owner of this poison? I heard that flowers, rain leaves, and countless poisons are rare."

Usually, Ah Po can make Qiu Lingfu fly into a rage with a few words, but when faced with real ridicule, Qiu Lingfu will not lose his footing, instead, he said relaxedly: "Besides me, don't you already have someone in your heart? If I'm sorry, I'll give you another suggestion, go to Chongyun Mountain's pawn shop and casino to inquire about Gui Ren's situation. But go quickly, otherwise the person who wanted to kill me may find a way to bury the evidence."

Grandma Liu was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Lingfu said: "It's not interesting, this Gui Ren is living not far from the bottom of the mountain, none of you even know what he is doing and how he is doing. Now that he is dead, you have to kill anyone as revenge... "I just feel sorry for him."

This blow hit everyone present, and everyone's face turned purple, but there was no way to refute.

Seeing the scene, Qiu Lingfu knew that he had narrowly escaped death for the time being, so he walked down the steps: "Grandma Liu, don't be angry, I don't want to embarrass Ah Po. Let's eat and drink well and go up the mountain together. It's a private matter." Before, we still had a common enemy. Besides..."

Qiu Lingfu deliberately attracted their attention: "Besides, at least two people present can't do anything to me. If you want to cut the mess here quickly, you would rather kill by mistake than miss. I have no objection, at most one fight. But I don't want to be charged with alienating you."

Saying this, he also took a look at Shen Xiaoru over there.This glance seemed to be deliberately done for the people present.Shen Xiaoru lowered her head, pretending not to notice anything about the eyes around her.

Grandma Liu said with a strange smile: "Okay, okay! Young Master Qiu's eloquence really opened my eyes. But if I find that this is just a storyteller's nonsense, then my Granny Liu will chase it all over the world, and I will definitely kill you." You. After all, your mother is also..."

With that said, it's over.

Qiu Lingfu's expression of being at ease just now froze immediately, and the sharpness in his eyes instantly disappeared. He calmly asked, "What's wrong with my mother?"

Granny Liu looked at his expression, and finally got a little achievement from the conversation with him: "Your family affairs, you go ask your mother."

With this reticence, Qiu Lingfu knew that if he continued to ask, all he could get was irony.

"Okay, okay, the food is cold." Xiao Shiliu, who had been watching the show, is going to come out to be a peacemaker now, "Then get along well as Young Master Qiu said, the most important thing now Just fill your stomach and eat."

Only then did everyone continue to move their chopsticks, but even Qiu Lingfu had no taste for the next meal.

After eating, she took a short rest before going on the road, Granny Liu called Ah Po aside again, she didn't know what to say, and looked at Qiu Lingfu as upset.

Calmly angry, he went upstairs, guessing the conversation between the two in a mess in his heart.

But just as he was picking up things randomly, Qiu Lingfu heard someone approaching behind him.

Qiu Lingfu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately brought out the troubled thoughts and asked, "What did you say again this time..."

He turned around, only to see Xiao Shiliu.

The man who usually laughs now has a calm face, and he said to Qiu Lingfu, "Get out of here."

"What?" Qiu Lingfu couldn't help lowering her voice nervously.

Xiao Shiliu stuffed him with a burden: "Here is the food, go down through the window and go east out of the forest. Hurry back to Huayuye."

However, Qiu Lingfu had no trust in him: "Wouldn't it make me feel guilty if I ran away?"

Xiao Shiliu urged: "Is this more important, or is life more important? This is what Ah Po told me to tell you."

"Apo?"

This name made Qiu Lingfu a little shaken, but he still asked, "Why didn't he tell me himself?"

Xiao Shiliu glanced back, and hurriedly said: "You didn't let Ah Po speak for you just because you were afraid that Ah Po would be unhappy with us because of you, so why make it difficult for him to come in person now? Come on, you are eloquent and eloquent. But if you drag it on for a while, can you drag it all the way to Baixue Ridge and wait to be killed?"

Qiu Lingfu looked at the burden that Xiao Shiliu handed over vigilantly. Although he didn't reach out to take it, it was like a knife, forcing him to make a decision immediately.He became short of breath, feeling that it was both a temptation and instinctively wanting to avoid it.

Xiao Shiliu said again: "You think you are passive, what good is it for your mother. Ah Po can't protect her."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching, Xiao Shiliu stuffed the bundle into his hands again, and urged in a deep voice, "Hurry up!"

As he spoke, he pushed Qiu Lingfu to the window.

But the sound of footsteps seemed to have made Qiu Lingfu's decision. He looked at Xiao Shiliu who was pulling him, and finally put the hand holding the burden against him: "No, I want to ask him personally."

Xiao Shiliu felt unbelievable, and asked anxiously, "Where do you have time?"

Qiu Lingfu stared at him, but his expression had returned to calm: "He knows that I don't trust any of you."

The sound of footsteps stopped, and a tall and straight figure appeared at the door, Ah Po's clear eyes fell on the two of them: "What are you doing?"
