Northern River Sword

In order to find his daughter, Qiu Guangcheng didn't close his eyes for several days and nights. The people he sent came and went, but they couldn't find Qiu Yuhua.His daughter seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and no one could be found, not even the corpse.

Qiu Guangcheng's eyes were red and his mood was very irritable. As time went by, he gradually accepted his fate, thinking that his daughter might really never come back.

His wife had passed away for many years, and his daughter was his only family member. Now that even his daughter was gone, he suddenly realized that he had fought for half his life in vain in the end.

Xue Hongliao felt that this incident was her own responsibility, and felt very guilty. She had been desperately looking for Qiu Yuhua these days, wanting to see people and dead bodies, and no matter what, she wanted to give Qiu Guangcheng an explanation.

After noon that day, she led people to find the woods, and was shouting loudly, suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front: "I am here, come and save me!" Then she saw a figure stumbling towards this side.

Everyone searched for a long time, and they couldn't believe their eyes.Xue Hongliao took two steps forward, and it was indeed Qiu Yuhua who was approaching him.She was both surprised and happy, tears welled up in her eyes, and said loudly: "It's her, we found her! She's still alive!"

Qiu Yuhua had been starving for several days, and his body was already very weak. After seeing his own people, the exhaustion and panic of many days burst out, and he fell down and sat down on the ground, crying loudly: "Sister Xue, I finally see you I... I thought I was going to die here!"

As soon as the crowd rushed up, Xue Hongliu hugged her, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Auspicious people have their own appearance, good girl, it's good that you are back, you are not injured?"

Qiu Yuhua said weakly: "I'm fine, do you have anything to eat?"

Xue Hongliu hurriedly took out the beef and noodles and handed them over. Qiu Yuhua's eyes widened and he grabbed the cakes and ate them.Xue Hongliu hurriedly said: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

When everyone saw how the eldest lady was eating, they knew that she was starving, and they didn't know how she survived these few days.Everyone didn't dare to talk too much, and watched her gobble it up.

Qiu Yuhua choked after eating a few mouthfuls, and drank a big mouthful of water. Thinking of being locked up by Qin Xiao for several days, being forced to eat raw meat and drink raw water, his heart ached, and tears flowed down like broken threads.She put her arms around Xue Hongliao's neck and whimpered, "Sister Xue, I miss you so much, I thought I would never see you again!"

Xue Hongliu was also worried, trying to comfort her.Qiu Yuhua cried aloud for a while, feeling better at last, and suddenly said: "Where is my father? He can't find me these days, is he in a hurry?"

Xue Hongliao remembered that Qiu Guangcheng was still waiting for news, got up and said: "Your father is very anxious about your matter, let's go back and see him."

Qiu Guangcheng was pacing in front of the room when he suddenly heard someone report that Chief Xue had found the young lady back. He was startled, and with a single step, he flew out and shouted: "Yuhua, come back!" Is it?"

Qiu Yuhua got off the horse, called out to his father, threw himself into his arms, and burst into tears.

Qiu Guangcheng was like a lost treasure, and he said repeatedly: "You're back, it's good to be back!" He wiped the tears from his daughter's face, saw that her body was covered in mud, and she had lost a lot of weight, and said distressedly : "Where have you been these few days? Everyone is looking for you everywhere, but you can't find it, but I'm so anxious."

Qiu Yuhua thought of Qin Xiao, and felt that although he was hateful, he did not hurt himself after all.She was watched by her father, and for some reason, she couldn't say anything about being locked up.

She hesitated: "I was rushed down the mountain, and I didn't know how long I was in a coma. When I woke up, I found that my arm was broken, and I connected it myself, and then...then I came back by myself."

Xue Hongliao said: "Everyone has been calling you, didn't you hear the voice?"

Qiu Yuhua was locked in the cave all this time, the waterfall at the entrance of the cave was rushing, and the sound of the water was so loud that the sound was cut off.Qiu Yuhua didn't know how to deal with it, so he covered his head and said, "Oh, my head hurts so much, I probably hit it when I fell down, and I get a headache when I think about it too much... My arm hurts too!"

Xue Hongliao's gaze rested on Qiu Yuhua, seeming to have some doubts, and he frowned and did not speak.Su Ti said: "Miss Qiu just came back, her injuries are still not healed, let's talk later when we have something to say. Let her go back and rest first."

Qiu Yuhua quickly said: "Yes, my whole body hurts, and I'm hungry. Father, I want to eat, take a bath, and sleep well, even if the sky falls, I don't care about it!"

Everyone laughed, Qiu Guangcheng asked someone to prepare meals, and asked the doctor to show her the bone injury.Qiu Yuhua had a full meal, and Qiu Guangcheng watched his daughter eat with joy and tenderness in his eyes.

After eating, the doctor showed Qiu Yuhua the wound, felt the pulse again, and said with a smile, "The bones are well connected. Although Miss Qiu's body is a little weak, she is fine, and she will be fine after a few days of rest."

Only then did Qiu Guangcheng feel relieved, told his daughter to rest well, and then left.

The maid prepared rose water, fragrant medicine and other things mixed in the water to bathe the lady.Soaking in the water, Qiu Yuhua breathed a long sigh of relief, remembering that he had suffered so much from Qin Xiao in the cave, that he had suffered all the suffering in the world, and felt a little sour.

When she thought of Qin Xiao, she suddenly felt a little worried, not knowing what was going on with him now.He said that he has been deeply poisoned, and I'm afraid he won't be able to last for a few days... Will he feel very uncomfortable now?It was wet and cold in that cave, could he survive it?

She was thinking wildly when she suddenly heard someone outside saying: "Miss Qiu, is she asleep? I brought her good medicine for bone injuries."

The maid said: "Miss is taking a bath, Lord Xue will come back later."

When Qiu Yuhua heard that it was Xue Hongliao, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, let her come in."

The maid opened the door, Xue Hongliao walked into the room, and the air was filled with a delicate fragrance.The light in the room was dim, and Qiu Yuhua's head was vaguely reflected behind a crepe screen.

Xue Hongliu stopped outside the screen, pulled a rattan embroidered pier and sat down, handed over the medicine bottle and said: "This is the best Jinyu bone bone pill of our Beggar Clan, take two pills orally every morning and evening, it will break the bone. It will grow well soon."

Qiu Yuhua took it from behind the screen, gratefully said: "Sister Xue, thank you for saving me. If I hadn't met you, I would have died in the forest."

Qiu Yuhua looked at the mud-stained clothes on the ground, thoughtfully.She gently opened the clothes with her toes, and saw that the branches and straps that fixed her arms were gone when she came back.She pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Who are you staying with these few days?"

The water splashed on the screen with a splash, Qiu Yuhua seemed to be taken aback, turned his head to stare at Xue Hongliao, and said, "What are you talking about... I have always been alone, and I am not with anyone."

Xue Hongliao said coldly: "I noticed it when you came back. The clothes you wore out were gray-blue, but the cloth strips where your hands were tied were white. The cloth strips were torn from the clothes, the material is It’s very good, waiting for idlers to wear it. That is to say, you have seen other people in the past few days. He helped you connect broken bones and bandage your arms. That person can’t be Orion, a villager who lives nearby, who could it be?”

Qiu Yuhua's face was pale, his whole body was stiff, he felt that there was nothing to hide from under Xue Hongliao's gaze, and he argued forcefully: "Sister Xue, I don't understand what you said about black and white, you must be overthinking. "

Xue Hongliao took out a small piece of white brocade about the size of a finger belly from his sleeve, with fibers on the edge, and said, "This was torn from your arm when I was helping you on the horse. Do you want me to go to Master Qiu?" Compare and see if there are such fabrics in Guizhuang."

Qiu Yuhua was in a hurry, sobbing, "Don't go, don't tell my father... Sister Xue, don't force me, I really don't know anything."

Xue Hongliao thought: "I don't know why this little girl is going to that person. If you don't lie to her, you won't be able to tell the truth." She suspected that Qiu Yuhua was with the assassin these few days.She met the assassin face to face, and saw that he was once dressed in white.She asked, "Where is the assassin?"

Xue Hongliu's tone was firm, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.Qiu Yuhua was taken aback by her straight-forward deception, and opened his mouth and said, "You... how do you know it's him?" After saying this, he immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Xue Hongliao said coldly: "It really is him."

Xue Hongliao got up and took the clothes from the hanger, and threw them on Qiu Yuhua around the screen.Qiu Yuhua wrapped up his clothes, brushed his hair and walked out.Afraid of being overheard, she went out first to disperse the maids guarding outside.She closed the door and said to Xue Hongliu: "Sister Xue, please don't tell my father. Father is jealous, if he finds out his whereabouts, he will definitely kill him."

Xue Hongliao said coldly: "That man killed Sixth Uncle Hu and dug Uncle Liu Qi's grave. A few days ago, he first came to assassinate me and then Fourth Uncle Xie. It's a heinous crime. If we don't kill him, we How can the living be worthy of the uncles and elders who died at his hands! How can our Qiying League gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes?"

As the leader of the Beggar Sect, she is usually friendly to others, but at this moment she shows her majesty, which makes people very awe-inspiring.After being reprimanded by her, Qiu Yuhua felt terrified.Her knees softened, she knelt down in front of Xue Hongliao, and begged in a low voice: "Sister Xue, I know he is not a good person, but he saved my life after all, so I can't take revenge and bring someone to kill him... he He has been poisoned, and his life will not be long, you just let him fend for himself!"

Xue Hongliao stood up, stepped aside and said, "Don't kneel to me. That man is the enemy of our entire Qiying League. If you insist on protecting him, not to mention that you will be cast aside by your fellow martial artists in the future, even the sky will punish you .”

Qiu Yuhua had no choice but to cover his head and said, "I... ouch, I have a headache again, and it hurts so badly, don't force me!"

Xue Hongliao knew that she was just trying to delay, so he said coldly: "I'll give you one night, you should think about it, as a righteous person, a child of an aristocratic family, you enjoy unlimited honor, so you have to kill evil spirits Do it for yourself, don't be a sinner for the entire Seven Leagues just because of a single thought."

After she said that and went out, Qiu Yuhua felt extremely uncomfortable, and thought: "Qin Xiao won't live long, if I can procrastinate for a while, let him die peacefully, it can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace. He told me not to take people to kill his body, but Sister Xue forced me to take people to kill him, what should I do?"

Just as she was thinking about this moment, she suddenly heard a click outside, like the sound of a tree branch being crushed.Her heart trembled, and she shouted: "Who is it!"

She chased out of the room, and there was nothing in the night.Several maids rushed out when they heard the voice, and said one after another: "Miss, what happened?"

There was the sound of rattling and rattling in the distance, and then there was a burst of thumping, and there was no sound.One laughed and said, "It's a cat catching a mouse, don't be afraid, miss."

Qiu Yuhua was still a little suspicious, so he went over the wall to have a look, but he didn't see anything, so he went back to the room with a heavy heart.

Xie Beihan hid under the wall outside the corner, curled up tightly, not daring to breathe.Hearing Qiu Yuhua's footsteps gradually fade away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.A few days ago, Qiu Guangcheng invited famous doctor Zhou Fuchun to show him hysteria.He took a few doses of medicine, said he was well, and behaved as usual, so He Ruying let him out.

Now he is alone and has no one to rely on, and he is suspicious all day long, fearing that Qiu Guangcheng will collude with his daughter and conspire to harm him again.He sneaked into Qiu Yuhua's residence quietly, wanting to find out where she had been during the past few days of disappearance.

He vaguely heard Xue Hongliao pressing Qiu Yuhua about the assassin's whereabouts, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "How does that little girl know where the assassin is?"

He listened for a while, but Qiu Yuhua refused to speak, but Xue Hongliao left in a huff.He was about to take a peek at Qiu Yuhua, but he accidentally made a noise and was almost spotted.

He hid under the wall for a while, thinking: "It seems that this little girl has some unclear activities with that assassin... Well, colluding with an assassin to kill a fellow martial artist is a terrible crime. Wait until I find out." The evidence is made public, causing Qiu Guangcheng and his daughter to be ruined!"
