Jianghu Tired Brigade

Hong Xiao was worrying about himself, suddenly he caught a glimpse of Xiangsi's arm outside the sleeve, unexpectedly remembered something, and said: "Xiangsi, give me your blue silk."

Xiangsi withdrew her arms and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender wrists.The silvery-white silk thread wrapped around her arm four times, as if wrapping around someone's strand of white hair.

There was a flash of strangeness in Hong Xiao's eyes, and he muttered softly: "It's clearly as white as silver, but you want to use the name of Qingsi, isn't it just a gimmick?"

Xiangsi had already taken Qingsi and handed it to Hong Xiao.Hong Xiao took one end, twisted it lightly, like threading a needle, and put it into the fine hole.With one hand on the ground, she leaned forward slightly, while the other hand was hanging in the air.It's just that the keyhole is small, and the blue silk cord is also thin. After staring at it for a while, Hong Xiao felt dizzy and dizzy. He rubbed his eyes and shook his head again.

Xiangsi was full of worry, and wanted to pinch her veins again, Hong Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I've figured out a way." Yan Bi straightened up, but helped Xiangsi's foot, carefully took off the shoes and socks, There is only one clean and small foot left, with curled toes, and five petals seem to be adorned on it, which is faintly pink.

Acacia's face was crimson, and her peach blossom eyes were shy and charming, as if she wanted to take away the soul of the person.

Hong Xiao frowned, the skin around Xiangsi's ankle was red, swollen and torn.She should have sprinkled medicine on it, but fortunately she never had any inflammation.There were scabs in some places, but the shackles were worn away, leaving only a few thin scabs.

Hong Xiao couldn't move his eyes.

When the fingertips lightly touched the damaged skin, it hurt like touching the heart.Hong Xiao bit her lower lip lightly with her upper teeth, put her fist in front of her mouth, and shed tears in a daze.

Xiangsi was startled by the sudden tears, and was really confused: "What's wrong?"

Hong Xiao rubbed his eyes, forced a smile and said, "Xu Shi stared too hard just now, and his eyes hurt a little."

Even Hong Xiao didn't know why he was crying.Lovesickness's wounds are not deep. Who hasn't left a few scars in the rivers and lakes?It's just that when she looked at Acacia's injury, she felt unspeakable regret and sadness.

Tuk Tuk.

A knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two.

When Hong Xiao entered the door with Acacia on his back, he didn't lock the door.Then she heard footsteps of someone walking into the room, she turned her head to look, but it was not the disciple of Yue Li Palace, but the female proprietor of the inn.

The shopkeeper looked at the situation inside with a strange expression on his face.

From her point of view, Hong Xiao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xiangsi took off her shoes and socks, and one bare foot landed on Hong Xiao's knee.

The shopkeeper coughed lightly, and said uncomfortably: "So...the two girls have such a preference."

Xiangsi tilted her head, not understanding what she meant.Hong Xiao understood, her face turned red, and she said: "The little girl is locked in handcuffs, which is really an eyesore." Then he asked: "The shopkeeper is here, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xiangsi, then at Hong Xiao, and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to speak like this."

Even though the three of them are women, and there is no such precautionary etiquette in Jianghu.But in front of outsiders, it's really inappropriate for Xiangsi to be so barefoot.

Hong Xiao took off the other shoe and sock for Xiangsi, helped her to sit on the bed, pulled off the quilt and wrapped her feet together with the chain.Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also sat down on the edge of the bed, pressed the corner of the quilt, and asked: "Since the shopkeeper is here, what happened to the people from Yueli Palace?"

Hong Xiao and Xiangsi were originally guarded by the disciples of Yueli Palace. Since they believe that Xiangsi is related to the inner law of the sect, under normal circumstances, they will definitely not let this female shopkeeper come in aggressively.

The shopkeeper didn't answer right away, but instead asked, "Miss, are you proficient in disguise?"

Hong Xiao was taken aback, she was asking about Yueli Palace, but the shopkeeper told her about the disguise technique?This question and answer have nothing to do with it.But since the other party asked, Hong Xiao followed the words and replied: "I have learned a little bit, but it's just a superficial skill in drawing, and I can't get on the stage. How can I be proficient in speaking?"

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "No matter how simple the technique of disguise is, it is still a skill to make it difficult for others to distinguish with three or two strokes."

Hong Xiao looked at the shopkeeper in bewilderment. What she said just now was not about humility, but in Jianghu, it is not uncommon for people who are good at disguise.If Kuiniang is like that, she can change her face easily, and even play with Hong Xiao for many years without showing her flaws, so there is only one person in the world.But if you want to change your appearance for a while and confuse others, you can list many people.Hong Xiao's ability, in front of experts, is really not enough.

He secretly thought about the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, but saw that she was smiling without seeming to be joking, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "After all, the shopkeeper can see it, what kind of skill is it?"

The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again: "I don't have such ability. I didn't recognize the girl who lived in the small shop for half a month before. But the girl changed her appearance, but she showed a flaw."

"Appreciate further details."

"The girl smiled sweetly in the inn today, she is really too delicate."

This sounds like a compliment, but a woman who is not familiar with her, praises another woman's beauty?Hong Xiao frowned, and said: "I don't have a habit of cross-dressing, just for the convenience of walking, I don't care much about many subtleties... Did the shopkeeper come all the way here just to say something like this? "

The shopkeeper shook her head, she leaned against the wall, crossed her arms and said, "Yue Li Palace is in trouble, I just want to find someone to talk to."

Hong Xiao was taken aback, even though the shopkeeper had told her a few days ago that Yueli Palace was not peaceful recently.Most of what she heard was the news about power struggles within the sect. Such a big sect has a deep foundation, even if several outstanding disciples compete with each other, there will definitely not be too much disturbance, let alone 'disaster' : "What's the situation?"

The shopkeeper looked familiar and leisurely: "Aren't there less conflicts in this world? The Yueli Palace grows bigger, so naturally some sects have the idea of ​​coveting it."

Hong Xiao nodded approvingly. He has always been the one who hits the top. No matter what kind of sect it is, if it is famous, there will always be someone who will remember it.But she was still a little puzzled: "Even so, why did you choose to do it at this time? There are dozens of Yueli Palace disciples back, and they are much more difficult to deal with than before."

The shopkeeper had a calm expression as if he was talking homely: "Yueli Palace's township mentality is in Li Qingsi's hands. Li Qingsi's martial arts skills are superb, and it is usually difficult to get rid of them. This time it was easy for them to take advantage of their loopholes. I am coming back now. Disciple, I have been exhausted all the way, and my condition is not very good."

Hong Xiao recalled the rumors about Yueli Palace in the past, it was really simple and elegant, just like a bright pearl in the northern desert.At first, I met Li Qingsi, but it fit the rumored appearance, I didn't want to accidentally bump into the sect dispute here, it was like seeing a pearl covered in dust, it really made people sigh: "In "Jiang Hu Zhi", Yue Li Palace is called No. [-] sect in the world, if you don’t want to, you can’t get rid of such mundane scandals.”

The shopkeeper said nonchalantly: "It's just that because of the distance, many people can't come, so it's easy to imagine the beauty of it. After all, the people living in Yueli Palace are not fairies, but ordinary people can't get rid of their inferiority."

Hong Xiao smiled and shook her head, but she couldn't refute her words, and said, "But in the world, where are there fairies?"

The shopkeeper looked out of the window. The low and old roof stretched continuously, which seemed to blend with the vast yellow sand in the distance: "In the depths of the yellow sand that no one can go to, maybe there really are immortals living there."

Hong Xiao said: "Since no one is going to get it, who is willing to risk their lives to learn about that vague legend?"

The shopkeeper murmured: "Yes, who is willing to risk their lives for this illusory thing?"

Hong Xiao was not interested in talking about such gods and monsters, and the shopkeeper's words would always be diverted to other places, which made her quite vigilant: "What's the difference between the shopkeeper and Yue Ligong?"

The shopkeeper withdrew his gaze, and this time he didn't look around and said to him: "I have no relationship with the people in Yueli Palace, just watching the excitement. I have stayed at the foot of Yueli Palace for more than [-] years, and most of the time I look at the same people. Face, the days are too peaceful, a bit boring."

"Since it's boring, why don't you want to go out."

"I have lived at the foot of the mountain for too many years, as if I have taken root, how can I be willing to let go."

Hong Xiao nodded and said: "Since this is the case, there is no other way."

"So I always look forward to Yueli Palace making some troubles, so as to make this place more lively." She said with a smile: "But it's so easy to encounter lively things, without anyone to chat with, it's also lonely."

"You think I am?"

As soon as the words were finished, Hong Xiao felt a soft body behind him leaning against her, and the fragrance of herbs lingered around her.Xiangsi's palms grasped the clothes at Hong Xiao's waist, and her chin rested on her shoulders.

Hong Xiao softly called Xiangsi, but hearing Xiangsi's boring voice, he softened his heart again, and rubbed her head with his backhand.

The shopkeeper watched the movements of the two, and suddenly smiled and said, "I just think it's interesting."

Hong Xiao turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, and asked in an unclear manner: "Oh?"

There was a look of interest on the shopkeeper's face: "The infidelity between women and women is interesting."

Hong Xiao frowned lightly, shook his head and said, "You think too much." Although he was still trying to comfort Miss Qingling a few days ago, Hong Xiao didn't think much about himself because of the mirror.

What's more, sisters are deeply affectionate and get along closer, so what's so strange?Even though Xiangsi was so close to her, although she was surprised, she felt pity.When she was young, when she acted like a baby with her master, she was much more cheeky than Acacia.

Even though Hong Xiao faintly felt strange, he only told himself that Yizhanghong was too strict in the past, but when Xiangsi saw her kindness, she naturally became closer.

The shopkeeper's gaze passed Hong Xiao, but stopped on Xiangsi's face: "Is the girl unconscious or pretending to be confused? How can there be such lingering eyes among ordinary girls?"

Hong Xiao followed the shopkeeper's gaze to look at Xiangsi, and when he turned his head, the distance between the two faces was shortened by an inch.The two looked at each other, breathing could be heard, and Hong Xiao saw Xiangsi's black and white eyes more and more clearly, with all kinds of affection flowing, and she wanted to speak.

Hong Xiao turned her head back, lowered her eyes, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, after all, she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
