Chapter 8 8. Purple Domain (4)

This Ah Po's voice was deliberately lowered, perhaps because he was still wary of Xu Bichuan or other people in Ruyi Building.Qiu Lingfu quietly looked out the door, this Ah Po's martial arts were superb, but he still hoped that someone would be able to detect the unexpected visitor here.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will confess to Xu Bichuan.

Qiu Lingfu felt so regretful that his guts were green.It's just that I don't believe that this person will really come looking for me with shamelessness, and can really sneak into the Ruyi Building under Xu Bichuan's nose, so I don't bother to tell Xu Bichuan today.

I didn't expect this person to come to trouble me tonight.

Qiu Lingfu handed the upside-down cup of tea to Ah Po, poured another cup for himself, raised the tea and drank it in one gulp, looking at Ah Po with innocent eyes, it seemed like a natural invitation .

But the invitation seemed clearly malicious.

"Have you been poisoned?" Ah Po raised his eyebrows.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?" Qiu Lingfu said with contempt for his caution, "This kind of trick of putting medicine in tea is a bad game in the Jianghu. I'm so smart, I definitely wouldn't do it. Besides, other people's medicines are all in the world." In fine nectar or jade liquid or delicacies from mountains and seas, go, this tea is still cold, it is too shabby. Is it tempting you?"

Ah Po's fingers are slender and neat, and under the candle light in this room, they actually look good-looking, so he used these fingers to lift the teacup, put it to his mouth, and said with a clear smile, "Why can't you seduce me?" Move, this is the tea you poured, the sincerity of the host's hospitality."

He looked at the golden and moist tea in the teacup, shook it, and said: "Besides, I'm thirsty." As if responding to the host's kindness, he raised his glass and drank the cold tea , and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Ah Po's actions were heroic and unrestrained, but Qiu Lingfu felt uncomfortable watching them, and couldn't help but think of the pine nut candy last time, so he didn't hide it, and cheekily admitted that there was indeed a mystery in the tea: "You know it's poisonous, Why drink it?"

Ah Po put the cup on the table with a click, and smiled ambiguously at Qiu Lingfu: "You are soft-hearted, play lightly."

Qiu Lingfu poisoned, but the poison didn't pour into the tea, but onto the teacup.

Qiu Lingfu was not afraid to admit it, and with an open and honest appearance of a gentleman, he only said, "Really?"

As he spoke, he slapped Ah Po with his palm, but Ah Po pushed back, preventing him from hitting him.Qiu Lingfu immediately drew out the soft sword.

Isn't this movement big enough?Before Qiu Lingfu opened his mouth to shout, he looked at Ah Po with expectant eyes, why didn't this Ah Po go the old way and tap his own acupuncture points?

Qiu Lingfu saw that Ah Po didn't intend to get acupuncture, so he opened his mouth to call someone again.

"There are thieves!" The words had already been uttered, but Ah Po just retreated step by step, without any other actions.At this moment, Ah Po's mouth was hooked three points clear and three points free and easy, and the movements under his legs exploded very quickly. As soon as he kicked the chair, he slid towards Qiu Lingfu and bumped into his knee, and he ran to the window neatly, looked Glancing at the grinning Qiu Lingfu, he turned around and ran away without a trace, with a vicious smile on his face.

But Qiu Lingfu's reaction was not as good as Ah Po's, the corner of the chair knocked on his leg, and a man with a handsome appearance just fell to the ground like a dog chewing mud.

Originally, I wanted to pester Ah Po so that Xu Bichuan or those two guys came up, at least to see some traces of someone's visit, at least to prove his innocence, so that Ah Po would not dare to come again... ...at least not so blatantly.

Unexpectedly, he ran away again, and even except for two teacups, there was no trace left.

When Xu Bichuan came again, he saw Qiu Lingfu getting up from the ground and the two empty cups on the table, so he didn't even look at them, and chased them out through the wide open window.Not long after, he came back with a cold face.

Xu Bichuan was covered in wet night dew, and said coldly: "The shopkeeper Chen on the opposite side and the servant of Zhang's mansion next to him have said that there is no suspicious person."

Qiu Lingfu clasped his knees and explained: "How could they see that, that man has great martial arts. Remember? It was the beggar I saw when I was in Lidu. His name was Ah Po, and his martial arts were excellent. I couldn't keep him. Yesterday, He was the one who listened to your news under my nose, so I know what you said to Palace Master Nading. He used two stones, tied with a thread, and hung them from the roof to listen to the second floor. This People know that my mother is missing, and they also know that I am Qiu Lingfu." His tone was urgent and fast, and he stopped playing tricks, and told all he knew about Ah Po.

Thinking of the cold ice dust scattered on the roof, Xu Bichuan was dubious, and checked the room again and again. Except for the two cups of tea on the table, there was no trace of anyone else, so he looked at Qiu Lingfu, wondering: "You came back yesterday and never met me. As I said before, so much information has been poured out at once, I really don’t know whether to believe it, the ice dust on the roof was sprinkled by you?”

Qiu Lingfu nodded furiously: "But his martial arts are too good, I didn't succeed." He said with a look of regret.

Xu Bichuan said angrily, "This poison is too overbearing, don't use it in the future!" Thinking that he shouldn't have spoken to Qiu Lingfu like this, he took another deep breath, calmed down his tone, and said with a headache: "You use that poison To deal with him, what did he do to find you? Why didn't he retaliate against you? Since he didn't hurt you, why did I have to run away when I came?"

Qiu Lingfu said in a daze: "How do I know, he must, must have other plans..."

This Ah Po is obviously not there, but he is stuffed dumbfounded.It's rare for me to speak well, and I want people to believe my words, but no one believes me.

Xu Bichuan searched all around again, and found no clues of outsiders' presence in many carefully arranged places, and finally cast Qiu Lingfu a helpless and cold look, and said to him: "How about I let the results come up?" Sleep in your outer room?"

It turned out to be one of the two assistants in the Ruyi Building. In the five rooms upstairs, Xu Bichuan, Qiu Xiaoshi, Qiu Lingfu and two children slept. The two assistants usually slept in the downstairs room.

For a while, Xu Zhuge couldn't make up his mind, if that Ah Po was real, and the night was boundless, where could he find such a person who came and went without a trace?If Qiu Lingfu lied, it would be better for Guo Guo to look at this ancestor well so that everyone can sleep well.

Qiu Lingfu thought to himself that his martial arts skills were not as good as his own, so what could he do?He slept in the outer room, like a child who is afraid of the dark and looking for someone to accompany him, what does he look like.Thinking of this majestic Young Master Qiu, he became dejected as if he had stumbled: "Forget it, the results come out, do you want me to protect him, you know I always only protect myself..."

Xu Bichuan raised his eyebrows, did Qiu Lingfu admit that he was messing around?

He didn't bother anymore, he didn't think about the old man's matter of rice and wine, and he didn't have time to take care of Qiu Lingfu like a nanny: "Go to bed early." He said, then flicked his sleeves, leaving a cold Liang's back left.

After Xu Bichuan left, Qiu Lingfu held his breath and waited uneasily for a while, but there was no one, so he gradually let go, and ran downstairs to ask Cheng Yin for water, intending to wash his clothes well.

Carefully avoiding the chest, he took off his coat and threw it into the water. Immediately there was a buzzing sound on the water, and a string of tiny air bubbles appeared from the chest of the clothes. He opened the window, held his breath and let himself go. The gas dissipates.

Just now he was afraid that Ah Po would be suspicious, and that poisoning the tea would be useless, so he smeared a light poison on the teacup, it just felt like a tingling pain to the touch.But before touching the poison with his hands, he quietly rubbed the antidote, so he was safe.

It seemed like he was giving this poor boy a break, but in fact, it was just an appetizer just in case, Qiu Lingfu even patted some medicine powder on his chest, the medicine powder was just the beginning of a rash and peeling off after touching it, But if it mixes with the poison on the teacup, the flesh will be rotten to the bone.

He was calculating in his heart, this Ah Po always tapped his acupuncture points, so that he could only watch him do whatever he wanted and stare blankly.But since he loves himself a little, why don't he send some special medicinal powder to let his poisoned hands rot, and that's fine.

If you touch any of these two kinds of poison, you will feel guilty. If you touch both, you can only blame yourself for not being careful.Qiu Lingfu made a good plan, but unfortunately the prey was not caught.

In fact, Qiu Lingfu really didn't know how to deal with these people who couldn't figure out their temperament.

He knew that Zhang Dadan had to use the ancestral pig-killing knife every day, so Qiu Lingfu liked to start with this pig-killing knife; Deng San, a storyteller, liked to rinse a cup of water before storytelling, and he liked to replace the water with chili water The neighbor Chunya has a crush on the young guy who sells cloth on the other side of the street. When Chunya is dressing up to buy cloth, he quietly paints Chunya's face with bastards.

But to deal with unfamiliar guys, he can only observe and test, and find out the next move.

Qiu Lingfu didn't even take a shower that night, and was criticized by Xu Bichuan, but he didn't care.Before going to bed, he was afraid that Ah Po would come back, so he carefully closed the windows and doors tightly.Although this window is probably useless to that person, at least there is still some psychological comfort.

After doing all this, he fell into the soft quilt, tossed and turned, tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night before dawn, Qiu Lingfu suddenly woke up as if feeling something.

He opened his eyes and looked at the dark beams for a long time, turned over and over, and covered his head with the quilt, leaving only silky hair scattered outside the quilt, as if he wanted to be a stone man who didn't care.

The night was quiet for a while, and he seemed to have fallen asleep, but he stretched out another hand, and suddenly pulled off the quilt, revealing eyes bright with resentment and a stiff chin, staring impatiently at the corner of the beam. The exposed corners of the clothes.After looking at it for a while, he seemed to have woken up completely, and said sarcastically, "The gentleman on Liang has done a lot, but he slept soundly."

But a lazy and comfortable voice came from the beam: "I am very stable, but you are not."

Qiu Lingfu remembered the feeling of uneasiness that someone was watching him at night just now, sat up, looked up at the beam, and said straightly: "You are on the beam, I always feel that you are staring at me, hungry? Want to eat some poison ?”

The voice from the beam was clear and sweet in the dark, A Po head slumped, just in time to see Qiu Lingfu, he actually admitted frankly: "I was staring at you."

Qiu Lingfu raised his proud head, and the cold night drew out a smooth arc on his exquisitely carved chin. He cut his head, turned his head in disdain, and said, "Why are you staring at me? Thinking about it." How do you kill me? How do you get information about my mother? You can only think about it."

Ah Po only said: "I was thinking, you always sleep so lightly, if I stare at you like this, will you wake up in fright?" What do you mean by kind of poison? You put it on the teacup, and you have to take off my defenses and receive your kindness before you succeed; you put it on your chest, and you have to be wary of fists and fists at you. Fang Zhongji. Do you hope that I will accept your favor and find ways to deal with you? Or are you reluctant to poison me, and you don't expect me to touch both poisons at all?"

Qiu Lingfu was taken aback for a moment, but he said strangely: "But haven't you always accepted my favor and dealt with me at the same time?"

Ah Po was silent for a moment, but smiled and said: "You are right."

With the sound of clothes making a sound, a black shadow jumped down from the room and landed firmly beside Qiu Lingfu's bed. Ah Po leaned against the bed and lowered his head and asked, "I won't talk nonsense with you. My son swears in Zijiangzhu that Qiu Xinsu is in Ziyu, do you know what he means?"

Qiu Lingfu didn't bother to pay attention to him. Not only did he look lacking in interest, but he also lay down and pulled the quilt tightly to cover half of his face: "How do I know, aren't you very good? Why don't you ask Mr. Fanjiu yourself?" ?”

Ah Po came over, sat on the edge of the bed, pulled down the quilt that Qiu Lingfu was pressing on his face, and a face appeared on top of Qiu Lingfu, he said with a smile: "Old man Fanjiu is not an ordinary person, he is powerful, I am afraid I have to deal with it No more. I think... since it has something to do with your mother, maybe we can gain something by discussing it with you."

Qiu Lingfu pushed him through the quilt, sat up abruptly, and stared at him, "Say what you want to say, ask what you want to ask." He said with a mischievous smile, "But I may not answer you. "

Ah Po was pushed back a big step by him, and at night, he could vaguely see that young and proud smile on his face: "Really? Then you should be obedient and listen to my brother and I will talk about it."

Qiu Lingfu snorted and didn't want to talk to him at all: "It's better to speak louder, so that Xu Bichuan can also listen."

The side window was opened by Ah Po long ago, and the silver moonlight outside spread on the ground like a square of quiet snow, reflecting the whole room to be sleepy quietly in the faint night light, Ah Po's outline was reflected clearly by the dark light, this The facial features of a person should be handsome. If the face is wiped clean, with the star-like eyes and crow-like hair, it should be a good appearance.

Ah Po was standing by the bed, looking down at Qiu Lingfu who was staring at him on the bed, and then analyzed the words: "Today, the old man of rice wine came to Zijiang Zhu, and told the story in the middle of the first floor. From the strange talk about the secret files of Buddhism, to the strange theory of Huayuye Decoction and poisons, there is a lot of talk. Crazy and funny. In the end, Qiu Xinsu seems to be inadvertently involved, and it is mentioned that Qiu Xinsu is now in Ziyu. There are all present People from all walks of life became suspicious and asked Fanjiu why he was sure that Qiu Xinsu was here, and why did he mention Qiu Xinsu..." At this point, he laughed again, "Guess what? Fanjiu The old man didn't answer, and he was about to leave with a weird smile on his hip. The meddling Jianghu people wanted to stop him, but Zijiangzhu's guy stepped forward to stop him. He would look back for a while, the old man He's gone without a trace."

Ah Po stared at Qiu Lingfu. Qiu Lingfu's long hair was spread softly on his shoulders and fell into the folds of the quilt. Ah Po followed along and saw Qiu Lingfu's hand holding the quilt underneath. Er was very accurate in timing, after all, he revealed such news in Ziyu, so he would inevitably become the target of public criticism. At that time, there were not many people in Zijiangzhu, and among the people who came to drink tea, there were many scholars and few people from the world. There are a lot of word-of-mouth rumors and few provocations. It is night again, even if someone is watching, it is not easy to escape. This time and this place are just right for the old man to talk nonsense, don't you think?"

"It's a pity that this old man met me. Guess, can he find me and get rid of me?" Ah Po asked Qiu Lingfu in that teasing tone.

Qiu Lingfu looked at him with hanging eyes, rarely gloomy, with a trace of panic and disbelief.

That Ah Po took another step, approached the bed again, and told a story: "There are people following him, they are some gangsters, he got rid of me a few times, but he couldn't get rid of me, maybe even Didn't find me. Because as long as I don't want people to find out, no one will find me following him. "

Qiu Lingfu was nervous just now, but now he smiled contemptuously.Didn't I discover you when you followed me in Lidu?

Ah Po knew what he was thinking, so he didn't ask him this laugh, but continued: "I follow his smell of alcohol, follow, follow, guess where he is?"

Ah Po bent down so that he could look at Qiu Lingfu's face sitting on the bed.Qiu Lingfu sat on the bed, his fingers were clenched white, he looked at Ah Po, without saying a word.

"He arrived in a clump of woods by the Zi River, and carefully saw that there was no one behind him. He probably wanted to wash himself in the water. Perhaps he wanted to wash away the smell of alcohol, or he wanted to remove the carefully painted camouflage. Go... Then he untied his belt, took off his clothes one by one, took off his long hair and beard, and then took off that greasy and delicate mask..." Ah Po The more he spoke, the softer his voice was, but the smile in his eyes became more and more meaningful.

Qiu Lingfu punched out suddenly, Ah Po quickly twisted his arm, and clamped another hand that was rushing towards his face, and pressed his body to press his leg that wanted to make trouble.Ah Po's muscles seemed to be filled with endless power, suppressing Qiu Lingfu so that he couldn't move at all, so he could only stare at him fiercely.

Ah Po lowered his head, he watched his hair sweeping down Qiu Lingfu's face, a joyful laugh came out of his throat, that smile was drawn on the corners of his curved mouth by him, like a person who doesn't care about everything but is determined to win everything Ruffian: "Don't worry, I didn't take a peek while you took a shower."
