Washing powder [Comprehensive martial arts]

"Changchunzi of Zhongnan Mountain?" The brows were raised, and the scholar pretended to be surprised, "Could it be the famous Taoist Qiu Chuji?"

"That's right." Yu Man nodded in response.

The girl in blue and the fat man in white glanced at each other vaguely, and then looked back at each other, very surprised.

Qiu Chuji lowered his eyes and just sipped his tea in silence. He didn't pay any attention to what was said there.

The scholar couldn't wait for Qiu Chuji to take the bait, curled his lips boredly, and said to Yu Man in a warm voice: "Okay, my brother will help you pay attention."

Yu Man thanked again, and couldn't help but carefully looked at the scholar, the girl in blue, and the fat man in white. Finally, she bent her tear-stained eyes, "I think the three martyrs are also from the martial arts, so I don't know how to call them?"

"My name is Han Xiaoying." The girl in blue smiled at Yan Yan, pointed to the two people beside her and introduced: "This is my second brother and fifth brother, there are seven of us, and we have a nickname in Jiangnan... "

Qiu Chuji suddenly said, "But the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan?"

Yu Man turned around, gave him an annoyed look, and thought, the stinky Taoist finally stopped pretending to be dead, and remembered that he had a long mouth.

The scholar laughed, "Our brothers are called the Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River. We like the word 'weird' very much. You don't have to be polite."

Qiu Chuji got up, and walked over with Yu Man's eyes of "you can be regarded as a person", twitched the corner of his mouth unnaturally, and asked the scholar, "Are you a scholar with good hands, Zhu Cong?"

Among the seven Jiangnan Seven Monsters, in terms of martial arts, the flying bat Ke Zhen'e and the talented scholar Zhu Cong are barely worth mentioning, and he has only heard of these two.Judging by his attire, there is no doubt that this iron fan scholar is Zhu Cong.

"It's my lord." The scholar said leisurely.

"Jiu Yang." Qiu Chuji cupped his hands in a circle to the three of them, "I have to trouble you about Jing'er."

He always does not ask for help when things happen, he has knocked out his teeth and swallowed his blood, but this time is different, Jing'er has to find him.As long as Jing'er can be found, it doesn't matter if he asks for a few people.

The Seven Devils of the South of the Yangtze River are locals and are very familiar with the Jiangnan area. Asking them to help find Jing'er will be beneficial and harmless.

"It's easy to say." Zhu Cong waved his hands, then changed the subject nonchalantly, as if he asked inadvertently, "Who is that kid named Guo Jing, Daoist Qiu?"

Qiu Chuji murmured, his eyes shifted to where Yu Man was, his voice involuntarily softened, "I... apprentice."

Yu Man squinted at him resentfully for a while, considering the special situation at the moment and didn't want to complicate things, so she didn't refute.

During this period, Han Xiaoying and Zhang Asheng lowered their heads lower and lower where they could not see from other people's perspectives. They glanced back and forth, not knowing what they were communicating with.

Zhu Cong rubbed his nose, his expression somewhat unpredictable, "Don't worry, Daoist Qiu, I will do my best."

....................

Guo Jing had been missing for more than half a month, so he might not be still in Jiaxing. Yu Man and Qiu Chuji searched for it for many days but to no avail, so they decided to try their luck in the surrounding villages and towns.

On the way out of the city, after passing a crossroad, the shouts of lively vendors on the street can be heard endlessly.

"Sister! Here!" A woman shouted in the distance.

At first, Yu Man thought that someone's sister was separated, and she didn't pay attention to it when she was in a hurry, until...

"Sister! Guo Jing is here!"

Hearing the word "Guo Jing", both Yu Man and Qiu Chuji were shocked, and turned their heads to look at the sound.Seven or eight booths away, Guo Jing suddenly appeared on top of the crowd, with a shiny horse sitting under him.

Han Xiaoying stood on tiptoe and waved to Yu Man cheerfully. Just now she saw Yu Man passing by the intersection with sharp eyes and wanted to stop him, but she remembered that she still didn't know the name of this sister.

Yu Man rushed up like a gust of wind, and Qinggong stared at Qiu Chuji who hadn't had time to react.She stretched out her arms to lift Guo Jing off the horse, not caring about anyone else.

"Jing'er, where did you go?"

If something happened to the child, she would not be able to explain to his dead mother, and it would be difficult for her to get out of the shadow of self-blame for the rest of her life.

The clothes on Guo Jing's body were new, his head and face were clean, and in his hand was a short knife that was suitable for a child of his height, and it was a real knife. He looked extremely energetic.

"Miss Bao." A male voice appeared in the oblique stab.

Yu Man put down Guo Jing, looked up, and was taken aback, "It's you?"

Lu Hong smiled and nodded, "I saw Jing'er walking alone on the official road, and he couldn't tell what happened to him, so I thought, take him to Lin'an to find you."

"You guys know each other?" Han Xiaoying asked in a low voice.

Today, all seven of their brothers were there, and when they met a little boy, they went up to ask about it, but unexpectedly, they actually asked Guo Jing out.

They saw that Lu Hong who was with Guo Jing didn't look like a kidnapper, so they stopped him politely, and before they had time to communicate, Yu Man and Qiu Chuji appeared.

"I know." Yu Man nodded vigorously, and introduced very positively: "This is Mr. Lu."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Hong with eyes full of gratitude, and bowed her knees.

"Young Master Lu, I am lucky to have you."

Lu Hong's thoughts fluttered, and he hurriedly leaned over to help him up.

"It's all fate, Miss Bao, you don't have to be polite."

Yu Man smiled, and asked seriously: "Mr. Lu, where did you meet Jing'er?"

"It's not far from Jiaxing, about three or four miles away." Lu Hong pointed in the direction of the city gate.

Looking at Lu Hong's left shoulder, Yu Man's tone became a bit more concerned, "Is your injury bearable during this trip?"

"It's, it's okay." Lu Hong touched his injured left shoulder, and tasted a strange sweetness on the tip of his tongue, which made him happy. "I have something to do in Lin'an, so I have to come."

"Are you going to Lin'an?" Yu Man muttered in a daze, then her eyes lit up, showing a surprised expression, "We are going the same way..."

Lu Hong smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, we are going the same way."

....................

Yu Man met the seven Jiangnan monsters one by one, and thanked them for their generous help, but the Jiangnan seven monsters refused to allow Yu Man to mention the word "repay", so Yu Man had no choice but to give up.In the end, she bid farewell to Han Xiaoying.

"My sister's surname is Bao. I learned it from Mr. Lu." Han Xiaoying said sourly.

Yu Man was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she had missed the step of introducing her name, she couldn't help laughing, and then bowed to Han Xiaoying for forgiveness, "It was my negligence."

"My name is Bao Xiruo, sister must remember."

In the end, the two exchanged hairpin rings and waved goodbye.

Yu Man led Guo Jing and left with Lu Hong.Qiu Chuji silently followed, but after a few steps, Yu Man turned her head and stared at her.

"What are you doing with me?"

"I..." Qiu Chuji was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Don't follow me, I don't have time to talk to you now." Yu Man said coldly.

"I...Jing'er..." Qiu Chuji pointed at Yu Man, his hands shaking with anger.

When Jing'er was not found, he begged him for nothing, but now that Jing'er found him, he kicked him away. What did he think of Qiu Chuji?

"Qiu, Chu, Ji." Yu Man gritted his teeth and read every word, and then his tone rose obviously, "You gave me this heart, Jing'er will never be entrusted to you to raise."

"You robbed the child's old debt, I haven't settled it with you yet, dare to settle the new debt and the old debt together next time, and see how I deal with you."

After speaking, he walked away.

Qiu Chuji froze on the spot, his face was as green as a stone at the bottom of the river, his chest heaved violently.

That night, he had a drink with the seven Jiangnan monsters he had just met, and they drank until midnight, and everyone was quite drunk.

Zhu Cong leaned crookedly on the table, patted Qiu Chuji, who was lying beside him, and said with his tongue out, "Listen to me, this kid...you have to fight for it."

"I know." Qiu Chuji rested his face on his arm and sighed muffledly, "But I can't help it. The younger one won't follow me, and the older one won't let go."

Zhu Cong slapped the table hard, then spread his hands, "Take away the big and small ones, or it's over."

"She disagrees." Qiu Chuji clenched his fists and hummed a few words.

After that, he muttered a few words indistinctly, and could vaguely hear words like "woman" and "annoying".

Zhu Cong hiccupped, and said earnestly, "Tell her well and follow her, how can she disagree?"

For a long while, Qiu Chuji lay there motionless, without saying a word. Just when others thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly pretended to be dead, raised his fist and waved it softly.

"Okay, let me try..."

====================

Lu Hong insisted on sending Yu Man and Guo Jing home first, so Yu Man invited him to be a guest at home and had a meal before leaving. Lu Hong readily accepted.

On the day I went back, it happened to be the day of going to the market, and Yu Man was worrying about not being able to find all the ingredients to entertain the guests, so it was finally settled.

After buying a piece of fish and a piece of pork, when choosing vegetables, the woman who bought the vegetables kept looking at Yu Man's face until Yu Man paid her, then she winked and said, "I look, it looks like the one from Mr. Bao's house. ..."

Yu Man smiled and called "Auntie".This person is not from the same village as her. I have an impression, but I can't remember what his last name is.

"Oh, you're really Miss Bao." The woman slapped her thigh and hurriedly greeted the acquaintances at the adjacent booth, "It's from Liang Xing's family, look who this is."

The one next door is from Niujia Village, and he came over to look at Yu Man with that woman, "I heard that the eldest girl is back, this is the first time I've seen her."

"Aunt Liang..." Yu Man called someone, and was about to exchange pleasantries when she was stopped by the excited voices of the two women on the opposite side.

"This is uncle?"

"Tsk tsk, what a talent."

Lu Hong was secretly happy, and slightly bowed his head in a shy gesture, not intending to clarify at all.

Yu Man coughed, and before the two women looked at Guo Jing, she said bluntly, "This is a distant cousin who came to visit relatives."

If it is a friend, it will only deepen the depth of the other party's imagination, so let's use the distant cousin to block it.

The two women stopped talking embarrassingly, and helped Yu Man put the vegetables into the cloth bag.

【Auntie, I'm hungry. 】Guo Jing sat on the horse and spoke in Mongolian.

Yu Man packed the vegetables, and just stood up when she heard this sentence, she couldn't help frowning.

Lu Hong raised his head, smiled and said to Guo Jing: [There is a rice cake seller in front. 】

The two women squatted on the ground, paused while arranging the vegetables, and slowly moved their heads together, whispering.
