storyteller

Two days later, the sun finally shone into the dense forest.

Xiao Shiliu, who was waiting at the watchtower at dusk, also came back at this time to report that people from the rivers and lakes could already be seen resting at the foot of the mountain.

Uncle Xu took out a palm-sized firework from his sleeve, and said to the rest of the people: "This firework can be set off during the day or at night. The color and light of the firework are extremely faint, making it hard to be noticed."

This is a fireworks designed to prevent outsiders.

As he said that, he put the fireworks on the ground, and said patiently: "But you still have to be careful, there will always be people who are keen to detect it. Now people in the Jianghu are at the foot of the other side of the mountain, and they can't see this thing. I will light this, you remember It looks like smoke."

He lit the firework, and the sparks immediately rushed into the column, and the gray column flew into the sky, forming a very faint gray smoke.

"It can only last for half a cup of tea, so you must observe it carefully."

After he ordered, he took another meaningful look at the second floor of the house.

Everyone looked up and saw Qiu Lingfu standing there far away, listening with gusto.

Seeing that the group of people were all looking over, Qiu Lingfu lazily turned around and yelled loudly with his back to them: "Who wants to watch you talk, I just saw that you set off fireworks and it's so bleak, so I'm not afraid of bad luck."

After Qiu Lingfu finished speaking, he pricked up his ears.

After a while of silence, Old Uncle Xu ordered again: "Go and prepare the carriage, we will find you after we settle the matter within three days."

Qiu Lingfu quietly turned his head to peek - this easy job without life-threatening is really for Shen Xiaoru.

Shen Xiaoru seemed a little hesitant, and she quietly raised her eyes to secretly look in the direction of Qiu Lingfu, but she still accepted the task.

She was about to leave, but her footsteps hesitated, and she turned to Old Uncle Xu and said, "Isn't my task too easy?"

Old Uncle Xu said: "If Xiao Xiao doesn't want to be involved in such dirty things, then we can't force it."

Qiu Lingfu sneered secretly when he heard this.

Shen Xiaoru was a little embarrassed: "What dirty thing? I can understand your thoughts, and I hope you are alive, so I followed..."

"We can live." Granny Liu said, "Go. The snow hasn't closed the mountain recently. These people are cunning, and they will definitely escape a lot. If you can't kill them all, you will settle the score later. You have to hide it yourself. Pay attention to contact. "

Qiu Lingfu understood now.

He recalled that when Ah Po said that the Baixueling gathering could not catch up with the heavy snow closing the mountains, he begged for a title to find a storyteller to add fuel to the flames, encouraging people from all walks of life to come earlier.

At that time, Ah Po only spoke half of what he said.

He was indeed worried that Duan Jingzhe would do whatever he wanted after the heavy snow closed the mountain, but he was also worried about the actions of the Bai family.

This person claims to be idle, but living is more tiring than anyone else.

Qiu Lingfu didn't think there were too many things to do, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you let that little boy do such an easy job?"

Mu Rong knew that he was talking about himself, so he gave Qiu Lingfu a cold look, and said in disgust, "I won't leave, I want to watch them die!"

Qiu Lingfu was a little surprised and looked back at him with interest.

Xiao Shiliu saw Mu Rong clenched his fists tightly, but asked Granny Liu: "And then? What shall we do?"

"Wait." Granny Liu said, "When the people from the Six Sects receive my letter, come and find me."

"When will they receive it?"

"tonight."

There is a bright moon tonight.

There is gunpowder smoke beside the bright moon.

The gunpowder smoke was as light as a stick of incense on a grave. Xiao Shiliu sent a signal, and those people had already entered the gate of Bai's house.

Except for Shen Xiaoru, the rest of the people were waiting in the unmelted snow in the dense forest. Granny Liu sneered: "These people know how to enjoy themselves, knowing that living in a house in the mountains will be more comfortable."

Qiu Lingfu moved a chair on the second floor, and took out a quilt to cover his body, talking nonsense: "They are here to find the treasure, not to see whether the Bai family is wronged or not. Of course they want to enjoy it."

Ah Po leaned against the dead tree below, and said with a smile: "You can't say that, there are people who sincerely come to investigate the affairs of the Bai family."

"There will be an investigation, but it may not be sincere. A martial arts school should look like a martial arts martial arts sect. Regardless of other matters, how can it be regarded as a martial arts sect." Qiu Lingfu winked at him while leaning on the railing.

Ah Po also smiled at him, but suddenly, Ah Po's eyes were like eagles, and locked on a certain place in the dense forest in an instant.

Qiu Lingfu looked there, but he could only see darkness.

But looking far away, he didn't hear the strange thing in the darkness, but found other interesting things.

Ah Po wasn't the only one who felt that something was wrong, Qiu Lingfu also looked at that place when she saw Granny Liu and Old Uncle Xu.

"who!"

Before Granny Liu shouted, Ah Po had already been chased away by a black shadow.

Granny Liu was about to go after him, but Old Uncle Xu persuaded him, "Just let Ah Po go, don't startle the snake."

Although Grandma Liu felt that something was wrong, she hesitated for a moment when she thought about the revenge plan.

But at this moment, a figure flew down from the second floor, and Qiu Lingfu had already followed.

The night was cold, and the snow was as deep as the sea.Dead wood grows in it one after another, like dead bones protruding from the sea.

Apo is like a black swallow passing through the dry bones, nimbly avoiding the messy tombs, and he can accurately know the movements of insects and ants from far away places.

He didn't take out the Chaos Light, because the closer he was to that person, the more he knew that that person's martial arts were not high.

But still not to be taken lightly.

The dead wood covering the man was like a curtain, which was pushed aside one by one, and Ah Po gradually saw the figure of the man.

But in the dark forest, you can only see that it is a person, but you can't see who it is.

Without even thinking about it, Ah Po lightly tapped his foot on the tree trunk and flew up into the air, but in an instant, he approached the person silently. With a force of index finger and middle finger, he aimed at the person's body, and sealed the person in the blink of an eye. human acupoints.

The man was very clumsy, before his eyes looked in this direction, he could only remain motionless.

Ah Po looked at the man's face, but was stunned.

"Xiaoshi?" A voice called from behind.

Ah Po turned his head and saw Qiu Lingfu galloping towards him from afar.

Qiu Lingfu was both surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?"

Ah Po explained Qiu Xiaoshi's acupoints, Qiu Xiaoshi glared at him angrily, and quickly ran to Qiu Lingfu, looked Qiu Lingfu up and down, almost crying: "Why did you leave me behind and ran away secretly! It ran out of the rain leaves!"

Qiu Xiaoshi saw that he was dressed in rough cloth with frayed edges and ripped edges, his plump cheeks were thinned, and his finely carved bones were revealed. It turned out that the rich and noble appearance of the dude had disappeared, and he looked more and more like a poor prodigal wandering in the rivers and lakes.

Qiu Xiaoshi felt uncomfortable watching, and blurted out: "I'm sorry..."

Qiu Lingfu asked strangely, "Why do you feel sorry when you see me?"

Qiu Xiaoshi opened his mouth, but when he saw Ah Po beside him, he made no sound.

Qiu Lingfu led Qiu Xiaoshi into the room, and asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

Xiao Shi could hear the guard in his words, he thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had traveled to this place, but Qiu Lingfu might not be happy at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

He subconsciously glanced at Ah Po at the side, and said unhappily: "Other people's family feud, what are you doing here, come back with me!"

But Qiu Lingfu was not relentless, he said seriously: "Xiaoshi, how do you know I'm here?"

Qiu Xiaoshi didn't look him in the eyes: "Xu Zhuge said it."

Qiu Lingfu pressed on step by step: "I mean Bai Xueling is so big, how do you know where it is?"

Qiu Xiaoshi didn't forget that Qiu Lingfu couldn't understand Brother Li, so he wanted to hide it: "I... I naturally have expert advice!"

Qiu Lingfu was taken aback for a moment, and he and Ah Po looked at each other.

He laughed again: "The tall people in this world are not good people."

Qiu Xiaoshi still regarded Qiu Lingfu as a child in his heart, but was laughed at by the child.Qiu Xiaoshi's face was livid with anger.

This child was clever and cute not long ago, but now he finally met him, but he didn't say a word that made Qiu Xiaoshi feel comfortable.Seeing Qiu Lingfu getting close to that Apo secretly, remembering that Qiu Lingfu always hated this Apo in the past, he felt very strange.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but attribute all these problems of his young master, as well as this hard-working appearance, to that Ah Po.When I opened my mouth, I didn't mean anything: "At least I have eaten more salt than you for a few years. I'm afraid that if you can't tell the good from the bad, it's you and not me."

"I can't tell the good from the bad." Qiu Lingfu admitted brazenly, but then said, "But I know, if you come here by yourself, if you don't explain why, someone might want to kill you."

Qiu Xiaoshi was a little surprised when he heard this, and before he could apply what the villain did to Ah Po, he saw a white-haired mother-in-law with extraordinary bearing, wearing a black cloak, leading a few people in the snow. Come here.

The old woman is not young, but her steps are as steady as a man's, and there is a chill between her brows, forcing herself to come.

Qiu Lingfu smiled easily: "In this situation, is the person who brought you here a good person or a bad person?"

The room was locked with heavy chains, and Qiu Xiaoshi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"I knew this Ah Po was not a good person!" He said bitterly with an appearance of finally realizing it, "Pretending to be a good person, but now we are locked up here!"

Qiu Lingfu was drinking tea beside him. The tea was hot, so he could only hold it in his hand and drink it slowly: "I locked you here, I walked in by myself. And it was the old woman who locked it, not him. of."

At this time, Qiu Lingfu still wants to speak for that Ah Po!

Qiu Xiaoshi said angrily: "The old woman is with him!"

"Then am I with you?" Qiu Lingfu asked.

Qiu Xiaoshi said: "Of course!"

Qiu Lingfu then made an indignant look: "Then before Xu Zhuge locked me up and didn't let me play, why didn't you help me?"

Qiu Xiaoshi was very angry: "What does it matter! Xu Zhuge is doing it for your own good!"

Qiu Lingfu said: "The old woman is also doing it for his own good. You are unknown and lying. It's good that she didn't kill you."

"I didn't—" Qiu Xiaoshi said it confidently, but when he saw Qiu Lingfu's amber eyes, he said guiltily, "I didn't lie. Then...then why didn't they kill you?"

"Because I'm good." Qiu Lingfu always spoke in a joking tone when talking to people other than Ah Po, "They won't admit it, but they think I'm a good person in their hearts. But when they see you, they think you're going to cause trouble."

Qiu Lingfu asked him persistently, "What are you doing here?"
