storyteller

The entrance of the cave is covered by long grass, but whenever someone comes, the fire will dance with the wind, so that the people in the cave will be on guard.

Xiao Shiliu's expression froze, staring at the entrance of the cave.He raised the big knife, only to hear the long grass bury the hole again, the howling cold wind stopped abruptly, and a person approached him, his left hand lightly touched the thick big knife, Xiao Shiliu felt numbness in the bones of his hand, The big knife in his hand that has always been steady is almost loose.

The visitor didn't continue to move, she just glanced at Xiao Shiliu briefly, and then put her hand down.

Qiu Lingfu stared at her blankly. Xiao Shiliu still had his acupoints sealed up so he couldn't move, so he could only stare at her in this stiff posture without blinking.

She was wearing an inconspicuous crow-green cloak, long hair draped over her shoulders, and her brows were light and cold. When she looked at people, she always seemed to be in the distance.

When Xiao Shiliu saw that it was Qiu Xinsu, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Xu Bichuan said you would come, but I didn't expect you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the cloak lifted in an instant, and the white clothes inside faintly moved, and a long sword flew out from it, and the long sword pointed directly at Qiu Lingfu's chest.

Xiao Shiliu gasped, subconsciously reaching out to stop him.

But he couldn't stop it, seeing that the sword energy had already passed Qiu Lingfu's chest, the sword stopped the blade in an instant, flattened the blade, and slapped Qiu Lingfu's chest twice.

Qiu Lingfu just stared blankly at all this.

Qiu Xinsu had already put the long sword by her arm, and the long sword reflected the red light in the cave, like a fire whip that had already been integrated with her hand, and it was neatly put away.

Xiao Shiliu didn't know why his forehead was dripping with sweat, but he felt that the method of releasing the acupoint just now was a bit dangerous.

Qiu Lingfu touched the place where the sword surface had been slapped, and then looked at his hands before realizing that he could move again.

He stood up from the stone bed, looked at the woman in front of him, as if in a dream: "Mother..."

His legs were still numb, and he was unsteady when he stood up. Xiao Shiliu wanted to go up to help him, but Qiu Lingfu stood up by himself.

But Qiu Xinsu remained motionless, looking at Qiu Lingfu coldly.

Qiu Lingfu pulled out the needle on his leg, and gradually regained consciousness in his leg.

Xiao Shiliu thought that Qiu Lingfu should go up and cry Qiu Xinsu in his arms, but he just stood there and didn't even take a step closer.

Qiu Xinsu just turned around: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Qiu Lingfu quickly followed.

Qiu Xinsu asked him, "Where do you want to go?"

Qiu Lingfu said courteously, "I'll go wherever you go."

Qiu Xinsu didn't speak, just nodded.

Qiu Lingfu's face was full of joy, as if the poison on his body had never existed, and there had never been a person like Ah Po in the world.He picked up his soft sword from the ground, and hurriedly followed step by step.

Xiao Shiliu dragged his voice: "The one who got in the way finally left. But Qiu Lingfu, can you at least leave a letter?"

He winked at Qiu Lingfu.

Qiu Lingfu seemed to come alive. He understood Xiao Shiliu's words, blinked and said happily, "I will find him."

In the past few days, which day did he not worry too much about Ah Po, but at this moment when he saw Qiu Xinsu living in front of him, he felt that his heart was filled with infinite hope.Ah Po is so smart and brave, he will come back safely with the antidote, and everything will be solved by then.

He even walked through the cave to see the empty cave, and fantasized that Xiaoshi might still be alive, and felt that it was very possible.In many legendary stories, isn't there always a chance to come back from the dead?

The fire in the cave flickered again, the firewood sizzled, and calm gradually returned.

The person had already left, and Qiu Xinsu didn't look at Mu Rong from the beginning to the end, but Mu Rong watched her every move.

He sighed.

Xiao Shiliu also sighed exaggeratedly, and he smiled playfully: "It's just you and me again, that brat seems to like you very much, you won't feel lonely when he's gone, right?"

Mu Rong closed his eyes, he was always out of sight and out of mind for this person.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight is like frost, and the mountains and trees are gradually thinning.

The air outside Baixue Ridge was dry and warm.With a whole body of coldness and blood energy to join this place, it seems to have finally arrived in the world of Yang.

The place where the melted snow and blood turned into a pool is gone, and the dangerous and safe shelter is also gone.The people behind him chased after him closely. Kong Ting was exhausted, but he dared not let go.

He found himself drawn into a widening landscape with nowhere to hide.

That's right, this is the territory of the Bai family, how could I be more familiar with the terrain than him.

The person behind him seems to have endless strength. He escaped from countless fights, and was re-involved in another fight designed by himself, but he can always break through the haze of blood again and continue to chase behind him.

There was no one to use here, nowhere to hide, and the footsteps behind him approached unstoppably, and Kong Ting knew that it would be sooner or later that he would catch him.

He knew he couldn't beat him, so he stopped and turned around.

"you······"

He just opened his mouth, but his blood was sealed by Apolly, and a pill was stuffed in his mouth.He was about to resist, but Ah Po clamped his jaw and forced him to swallow it.

Ah Po tied him tightly, threw his weapon on the ground, and then said: "If there is nowhere to hide around, and no one to help, then it is best not to let you talk. This is what I have never done this year. Lessons learned from the rogue."

He stabbed one of Kong Ting's legs with a dagger, until there was blood flowing, A Po released Kong Ting's acupuncture point, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me everything you know about Duan Jingzhe."

Kong Ting was sweating all over his head. He smiled sadly: "You shouldn't have poisoned me. He won't give you the antidote, but he will thank you."

Ah Po understood that he didn't want to say anything, so he just said: "Then let's see if he thanks me."

A Po pulled the rope in his hand, Kong Ting staggered a step forward, blood gurgled down his leg.

Kong Ting endured the pain and walked forward, thinking that he was not so powerful and should have been caught earlier, but he racked his brains to escape, and now he still fell into his hands.

He also wanted to surrender voluntarily and gain some comfort, but unexpectedly he was gouged out.He smiled wryly: "He thinks he can see through people, and he also said that you have a good temper and rarely really hurt people."

After hearing this, Ah Po only clenched the dagger tightly.

"He's wrong. A man who doesn't intend to hurt doesn't hold a good knife."

The bright moon is bleak and cold, the shadows of the forest are sparse, and the ground seems to have grown black dry bones, trying to entangle the legs of passers-by.

There are many mountains in the northwest, dense insects and snakes in the south, and the Henghe River in the east, fierce beasts come and go, and there are few people.

Only this place under the feet, soft red fragrant soil, fragrant wine and meat, singing and dancing all night.

This is a speck of dust in the lonely land, and also a star in the boundless night.

Qiu Lingfu did not expect that he could come here again so easily.

Qiu Xinsu was familiar with the secret passage of the Bai family, and his sword was as powerful as a rainbow, but Qiu Lingfu was still injured several times on the way out of Baixueling.After that, trekking through mountains and rivers in the next few days was hard enough.

But to Qiu Lingfu, the past few days were as sweet as a dream.

Walking on the street at this time, his face was smeared with dirt, and his whole body was scruffy like an inconspicuous beggar.

There are many heroines and beggars on the road, no one will guess who is under the hood, and no one will guess who the beggar is.

Even if he noticed, Qiu Xinsu didn't care.

Qiu Lingfu didn't care either. He put the dirt on his face, just wanting to walk quietly on the street with her like this.

A burst of sweet fragrance wafted into Qiu Lingfu's nose, his eyes drifted away, and fell on the plump fried chestnuts on the stall.

Each one is bright yellow and oily, and looks fragrant and delicious.

Qiu Lingfu hurriedly called to Qiu Xinsu: "Mom, that's delicious."

He came to the stall with a shy face and said to the vendor, "Two packs of chestnuts."

The peddler saw him as a beggar, with a weird face on his face: "Young man, I am by no means discriminating against beggars, but all the beggars who come to Ziyu are begging for wine and beauties, do you really want to buy my chestnuts? "

Where is this purple domain, of course small vendors dare not discriminate against beggars.So almost no small street vendor would really say such a word.

But the peddler just talked too much.

Qiu Lingfu said unhappily: "I just want to please the beauty next to me, will you sell it?"

It was already disrespectful for the small vendor to say more. Seeing Qiu Lingfu's face, how dare he continue to fight hard.There is no way to feel sorry for money and life in business, he was just testing it out.

He hurriedly said: "Sell, of course sell! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I saw a lot of strange things in Ziyu, and it's wrong to be suspicious."

The stall took a peek at the quiet and decent woman next to the beggar, and quickly filled Qiu Lingfu with two large bags of chestnuts: "Look, if you walk around this street, the chestnuts I sell are definitely the biggest." !"

Qiu Lingfu glanced at it, satisfied, and was about to take out the money, when he realized that he had come down from the snow-white ridge covered in scars, and there was no money in his pocket.

Qiu Lingfu was in a great embarrassment at the moment. He usually spends money without blinking an eye, so how come he doesn't even have a copper coin to give at this time.

The small vendor was still staring at him, and saw Qiu Lingfu clutching the two bags of chestnuts, but did not take the money, and was about to ask a question carefully, when he saw a plain hand stretched out from behind the curtain, handing over a few copper coins.

Qiu Xinsu paid the money, and Qiu Lingfu followed behind silently with two packs of chestnuts.

Qiu Lingfu said in his mouth: "I was supposed to pay..."

After speaking, Qiu Lingfu remained silent again, and only looked carefully at Qiu Xinsu.Even if he had to pay, he still got the money from Hua Yuye, so Qiu Xinsu might not be happy if he said more.

Qiu Xinsu didn't notice his thoughts at all, and only asked: "What else do you want to eat?"

Qiu Lingfu was still blaming himself, but when he heard Qiu Xinsu's question, he immediately jumped up and smiled.

The decayed empty building is even more decayed by the moonlight.

Qiu Lingfu was holding his mouth full of snacks, and shuttled through it, like an excited bug that just burrowed into a pile of dead soil.

He led the way ahead, and introduced to Qiu Xinsu: "This is a good place, no one will find us."

Every time he said a word, he had to look at Qiu Xinsu's reaction.

Qiu Xinsu took off the curtain hat on her head, she didn't look around, and stared straight ahead with a pair of never-old eyes.Qiu Lingfu saw that she was looking at him, and his eyes were even more joyful.

Qiu Lingfu found a comfortable house, paved the hay, and sat down without hesitation about the dark lights around him.

Qiu Xinsu also sat down, she put the curtain hat aside, bowed her head, Qiu Lingfu handed over a paper bag of pine nut candy.

Qiu Lingfu wanted to eat sweets when he was a child, so Qiu Xinsu secretly sent Qiu Xiaoshi to buy snacks, and the one he bought the most was pine nut candy.He thought it was Qiu Xinsu's favorite food.

But at this moment, seeing Qiu Xinsu motionless, he became suspicious, and began to wonder if he was wrong.He observed her expression carefully, but he couldn't see any clues, and his heart became even more uneasy, shrinking and trying to put the paper bag into his arms again.

But Qiu Xinsu stretched out his hand and took a piece from the candy.

Qiu Lingfu only felt happy, but seeing Qiu Xinsu not put it in his mouth for a long time, he became anxious again, and said softly: "This is delicious, mother, eat one quickly."

The roof is quite shabby, and the house is filled with moonlight.The sugar was pinched in the hand like a layer of icing.

Qiu Xinsu stared at the candy, and said indifferently: "He used to give me snacks back then, he thought that all women in the world love sweets."

She slowly put the candy in her mouth.

Qiu Lingfu listened, feeling only a feeling of loneliness in his heart, he always thought that Qiu Xinsu really liked to eat this.

But he thought of something again, and hurriedly took it out in his arms, thankfully it was still there.

In a flattering manner, he took out the pocket embroidered with orchids: "Mother, look."

He saw that Qiu Xinsu's eyes seemed to light up for a moment, and she was finally moved: "Why are you here?"

Qiu Lingfu said: "It's the old man Xu who hid in Chongyun Mountain."

He only looked at Qiu Xinsu, and Qiu Xinsu only looked at the veil.She looked at it for a long time, pressing the embroidery lightly with her fingers covered with sword marks.

Qiu Lingfu looked at her for a long time, then felt hungry again, turned around to search for the pile of food: "Mom, let's eat first, I'm already hungry. We can keep the sugar and chestnuts. This short cake is good. Crispy but not greasy, there is nothing better than this in Huaijing... Mmm! This roast chicken is the most delicious, I dreamed of eating this a few days ago, you must try it."

When Qiu Lingfu turned around, Qiu Xinsu's eyes were already on the side of his neck.Her eyes were silent, as cold as moonlight.

Her hand secretly touched the hilt of her sword.Her hands were sticky because she had just taken sugar, so she held the sword longer than usual.

"It's so hot!" Qiu Lingfu suddenly yelled, chattering endlessly, holding a ripped chicken leg through a clean veil, turned around, "Mom, come—"

He saw Qiu Xinsu staring at him with cold eyes.I couldn't help being a little stunned, and even stopped in my mouth what I wanted to say.

Seeing him turn around, Qiu Xinsu blurted out, "That poison..."

He hurriedly said: "Ah Po went to find the antidote, you should have met him. He will be back soon, don't worry."

When Qiu Lingfu heard Qiu Xinsu talk about the poison, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he also secretly felt happy.

Qiu Xinsu looked at him for a long time before nodding: "Yes."

Seeing her lift her hand from the sword, Qiu Lingfu thought it was strange, but when Qiu Xinsu took the food in his hand, he immediately put the strangeness behind him, and his heart was as gentle as a dream.

At night, wait for Qiu Lingfu to sleep soundly by his side.Qiu Xinsu stared at the hole in the roof. At this time, the room was completely bright, and the moon in the sky was almost full.

Before the next full moon, she will not move her sword again.
