Looking for plums under the moon

Xiao Chou opened his eyes wide and said, "Brother!"

He Suosi glanced at the two of them, and said hesitantly, "Is this... convenient?"

Ling Guyue smiled and said, "It's convenient."

Xiao Chou said, "It's not convenient!"

Ling Guyue tapped Xiao Chou's head, "You have no place to speak here."

He Suo thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai's kindness is appreciated, but I think it's better for me to go to Pingnan alone."

Ling Guyue looked at him puzzled, but saw He Suosi's calm face, "This time when I entered Shu, the master expected that there would be many twists and turns on the way. To take care of it is just to live up to the good intentions of Master and his old man...so I'd better go on my own way."

Ling Guyue saw that he was firm and did not force her, so she chatted with him again.

"Beiyan League is going to participate in the martial arts conference this year?"

He Suosi said: "Master has always hoped that the Beiyan League can be revitalized, but unfortunately, no one in our generation can afford to show up. This time, Master sent us juniors down the mountain, in fact, he wanted us to see the world. It’s just a test of skill, as for what ranking you will get... that’s something you can’t even think about.”

Ling Guyue said: "Competing in the Central Plains, the future will be long."

He Susi shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't like fighting. I'm satisfied to be able to practice with Master in the league... Where is Brother Ling? Are you also going to the martial arts conference?"

Ling Guyue laughed at herself: "I still know this little thing about me, at most I just went to see some excitement... And this time I'm looking for someone, not the martial arts conference."

He Suosi's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect Brother Ling to be an indifferent celebrity."

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed...but it's just a few months away, I hope to meet Brother He on the court at that time."

He Susi also smiled and said, "Very good."

Xiao Chou interjected and asked, "Just now I heard from your senior or junior sister that you are an outer disciple, so aren't you and them a master?"

He Suosi said: "My master is indeed the leader of the Beiyan League..."

"Then why don't they want to call you brothers and sisters?"

He Suosi looked down at the fire, and said in a daze, "Master never admitted me... I was picked up by Master when I was 12 years old. Master gave me food, clothes, and taught me martial arts, right?" I treat all other disciples equally, but they never accept me as a disciple..."

"Why?" Xiao Chou frowned, and said angrily, "Could it be that he despises you?"

He Suosi shook his head, "Impossible, Master often teaches me martial arts and praises me a lot, I can even feel his preference for me."

"Why is that?" Xiao Chou cupped his face and looked at the little sparks rising above the fire, "He just watched you being bullied like this!"

Ling Guyue turned her head to look at Xiao Chou, wondering why he had such a big reaction, so she reached out and patted his head.

Xiao Chou raised his brows at this moment, and his yellow and thin face twisted into a look of bitterness and hatred. Seeing Ling Guyue beside him, his brows gradually loosened, and his eyes became clear again.

He Suosi sighed, "I don't know, maybe Master and his old man have some plans... By the way, little brother," He Suosi turned to look at Xiao Chou, "Just now I saw you put the non-toxic black Why does a beetle scream when it approaches a bat?"

Speaking of this matter, Xiao Chou regained his energy and gestured with both hands: "I was holding the bat in my left hand and the bug in my right hand. Those people were all looking at the bug and didn't notice that I was secretly pinching the bat. , that little thing hurts, so naturally it screams miserably!"

He Suosi nodded, and asked again: "Why does that beetle obediently lie in your palm and refuse to fly away?"

Xiao Chou glanced around, saw that no one was looking this way, so he simply took out the bug in his sleeve, threw it into He Suosi's arms, and said triumphantly, "Look for yourself!"

He Suosi picked it up and looked at it, then smiled knowingly: "So that's how it is..."

Ling Guyue looked along his hand, and saw that the little beetle kept flapping its wings in He Suosi's hand, and did not fly away.

Xiao Chou explained in a low voice: "This kind of insect has two layers of wings. The upper layer is hard and obvious, and the lower layer is soft and transparent. The hard wings can't make them fly, only the bottom layer of transparent can... I'm catching It quietly broke off its second layer of wings, so it always wanted to fly away but couldn't fly, it could only spin around in my palm."

Ling Guyue nodded, and looked at Xiao Chou thoughtfully, seeing that he was still in high spirits, so she held back what she wanted to ask.

He Suosi smiled and said, "Little brother has quite a lot of ideas!"

While the three of them were chatting, they realized that the night was getting dark, and Xiao Chou dozed off by the fire.

He Suosi said: "We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning, why not rest first."

Ling Guyue also felt tired, nodded, and fell asleep leaning against a big tree.

The next day, just after dawn, Ling Guyue was awakened by a loud noise.Squeezing the space between her eyebrows, she realized that everyone around her started to get up and go on her way, and He Suosi also packed her luggage, only Xiao Chou was still curled up beside him, sleeping soundly.

"Brother Ling, let's go ahead." He Suosi cupped his hands and said.

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "There will be a time later."

"There will be a period later."

Seeing his spotless back gradually disappearing into the crowd, Ling Guyue turned around and woke up Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said with a complacent face, "Senior brother, what's the matter?"

"Let's go," Ling Guyue buried the embers of the fire with soil, "go and bring the horse."

"Senior Brother," Xiao Chou held the rope and looked at Ling Guyue who was sitting on the horse, "What do you think about that?"

Ling Guyue said: "He's gone."

"It's really gone... I thought he would be with us." Xiao Chou said.

Ling Guyue smiled and asked: "I said yesterday that I would go with Brother He, didn't you agree?"

Xiao Chou pursed his mouth and said, "I'm not convinced."

"What's unconvinced?"

Xiao Chou said sullenly: "I begged my brother for several days before he agreed to take me with me. How did you say a few words to him?"

Ling Guyue reined in her horse and said, "Although I have only talked to him a few words, I already know him well and know that he can be trusted... What about you? Xiao Chou, I think you are much more difficult to figure out than him."

Xiao Chou was stunned, stopped walking and said, "Brother...do you doubt me?"

Ling Guyue said: "Why were you so excited when you heard He Suisi yesterday?"

Xiao Chou lowered his head and whispered, "Because... because I was also picked up by Master..."

Ling Guyue listened to him and said: "I am the same as He Suosi. I met Master when I was 12 years old. He picked me up from the beggar's den on the street. I have been following him ever since. He asked me to call him Master, Tell me some things about the Jianghu, teach me some life-saving martial arts... Although he is always very strict with me, if it weren't for him, Xiao Chou would still be a little beggar who is beaten and scolded every day and forced to beg for food, and he would not When I met senior brother... Master is my great benefactor."

Seeing that there seemed to be tears in the corner of his eyes, Ling Guyue asked, "What happened next?"

"Later Master died..." Xiao Chou said sadly, "I buried him at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain with my own hands, and someone told me to go to Jinling, so I wandered all the way to Jinling, and became a little beggar on the street again. ..."

Ling Guyue said softly: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you live on the street again."

Xiao Chou stared into his eyes and said seriously: "I will definitely protect senior brother!"

Ling Guyue thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "By the way, who asked you to go to Jinling? Don't you know someone?"

Xiao Chou said: "That man also looks like a beggar, and he speaks godly. I didn't believe him at first, but once he told me that Master would not live long and asked me to prepare for the funeral. Master was so angry when he heard that. The man beat him up, but I didn't expect the man to smile and clap his hands after being beaten... Later, the master left, and I realized that he had some skills."

Ling Guyue had a faint guess in her heart, "Does he always let others call him Lord Du?"

Xiao Chou asked strangely, "How did senior brother know?"

Ling Guyue's heart sank, "I've seen him too..."

"Then did he say anything to the senior brother?"

Ling Guyue forced a smile and said, "I forgot."

How could I forget?The lone star of Tiansha will kill everyone close to him... Prince Du, who are you?Can you really predict people's fate?

Ling Guyue looked at the road in the distance worriedly, "Xiao Chou, we have to hurry up."

"Okay!" Xiao Chou grabbed the rope in his hand and ran forward with all his might.

Ling Guyue couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Xiao Chou, come here."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Xiao Chou obediently stood under the horse's belly.

"It's too slow to walk like this," Ling Guyue grabbed his collar with one hand, lifted him up easily, and threw him firmly behind her, "Hold me tight." The horse belly galloped up.

Before Xiao Chou could react, he was almost thrown off the horse. Fortunately, he grabbed Ling Guyue's belt at the last moment, and was able to hang on the horse without falling off.

After stabilizing his body, Xiao Chou calmed down his heartbeat and said, "I was scared to death... This is my first time riding a horse..."

Ling Guyue in front of her didn't know what to say, but was swallowed up by the wind blowing in her face.

"Brother! What did you just say?" Xiao Chou shouted loudly.

Ling Guyue turned her head and glanced at his hand helplessly, "Xiao Chou, if you pull my belt again, it will fall off."

Xiao Chou hurriedly withdrew his hand and grabbed his clothes instead.

The two rode together on the same horse and galloped westward all the way.

On the way through a valley, there is a lake in the valley.

Ling Guyue said: "After bumping for half a day, the horse should be thirsty, let's come down and have a rest." After saying that, she grabbed Xiao Chou and dragged him off the horse.

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "With your small body, the wind can blow you into the sky."

Xiao Chou said unconvinced: "I also have foundation!"

"What background do you have?"

Xiao Chou took a stride on the spot, and punched a big tree in style.

Ling Guyue nodded with a smile, "This is the Tiger Fist of the Buddha Heart Sect..."

Xiao Chou folded his fist in his waist, and suddenly turned into a palm wind and hit the tree trunk in front of him.

Ling Guyue said: "What a move, Thousand Hands Flying Flower Palm!"

Xiao Chou turned his palm into fingers again, his five fingers were slightly curved, like a hook, he grabbed the rough bark.

"This is Eagle Claw."

Xiao Chou stopped kicking suddenly, took the tree as a stake, kicked it so hard that it wobbled.

Ling Guyue said: "This is Qianjun Sweeping, what other moves do you have?"

Xiao Chou held his breath, his right hand was like lightning, and he swung it with full momentum. He slapped the tree trunk, and a piece of bark in the shape of a human palm fell off the tree trunk.

A flash of surprise flashed in Ling Guyue's eyes, "This is Pingchuan's decisive palm, I didn't expect you to dabble in it."

Xiao Chou touched the sweat on his forehead and made a gesture of retreat, and said dejectedly: "Senior brother is still amazing!"

Ling Guyue sighed, "Why bother to be brave? Look at your hands."

Xiao Chou looked down, his hands were bloodstained by the bark, he hesitated and said: "I... I am not very familiar with the practice, and I will definitely achieve something in time!"

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "Okay! I believe in you, now you should wash the blood on your hands first."

In the evening, I finally arrived at a town and no longer had to sleep in the wilderness.

Walking from the east to the first inn, before entering the door, the boss waved his hand and said: "You two guests, the small shop has no room, please let me choose a place to live."

Xiao Chou looked in, and sure enough, he saw many people crowded in the lobby, many of whom were familiar faces from the road.

Ling Guyue said: "I'll add some more money, please ask the shopkeeper to arrange two rooms for me..."

The boss sighed and said, "Not to mention two rooms, even half of them won't be available. To tell you the truth, my inn is already full, even the firewood room is full..."

Ling Guyue asked: "Then is there an inn near here?"

The boss pointed to a corridor in the center of the street: "We also have a Hongyun Restaurant here, which is the largest restaurant in the town, but a group of people came here in a hurry and took over the entire Hongyun Tower. So the two A lot of people have no room to live here, so they can only spend the night at the merchants' houses along the street."

Xiao Chou asked curiously, "Who bought the whole building with so much money? How many people does he have, and can he live there?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "There are only two or three cars of people, as for who they are... I don't know, but it seems that they came from the south just like you. Those people have luxurious cars and horses, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. ..."

Ling Guyue looked at the two-storey building and frowned, "Is there no inn besides Hongyun Building?"

The boss said: "Although the inn is gone, you can go to West Street to take a look. The merchants along the street have cleaned up their rooms. Go and see if there are any vacancies."

Ling Guyue nodded, thanked the shopkeeper, and walked towards West Street with Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou took the horse and complained: "Those people are really serious. We can't do this even if we are rich and powerful. We have no place to live!"

Ling Guyue pondered and said: "I don't know which sect is responsible for such a big scene..."

Xiao Chou said, "We can take a look when we pass by!"

Passing by the entrance of Hongyun Building, the two turned their heads to look inside.

After seeing a figure flashing past, Xiao Chou clicked his tongue and said: "So there is a girl! Seeing her like this, she should not know martial arts... Didn't she go to Pingnan to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Ling Guyue's expression changed, and she said, "Let's go."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Chou asked puzzled.

Ling Guyue said: "It's very late."

Xiao Chou smiled and said, "Senior brother must be hungry!"

Ling Guyue said lightly: "That's right."

When we arrived at West Street, there were signs of restaurants and accommodation hanging on the doors of the shops facing the street.

I found a cloth shop that looked relatively clean and rented a room, and the two went out again to find a restaurant to eat.

"Brother," Xiao Chou said with his mouth full, "may I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

Xiao Chou paid attention to his expression, and said cautiously: "How is your relationship with your junior brother?"

Ling Guyue's hands paused, she put down her chopsticks and said, "It's okay."

Xiao Chou lowered his head and said "Oh", "Then why didn't he come out with you?".

Ling Guyue said: "Everyone has their own things to do, it is impossible to be together all the time, and we are all adults, what does it look like to stick together all day?"

Xiao Chou said: "From now on, I will cling to senior brother every day!"

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "When you grow up, you will still pester me to death. If you don't bother me, you will still bother me!"

Xiao Chou blinked innocently and said: "Xiao Chou won't be bothered! Brother, have you already bothered me?"

Ling Guyue said: "After all, I'm not your real senior brother. If you find your senior brother one day, you can cling to him."

"No!" Xiao Chou shook his head quickly, "You will always be my senior brother!"

Ling Guyue just laughed it off, put the remaining chicken leg into a small thick bowl, "Eat more."

It's still a long time, and premature promises will only make you sad in the future, and some words can't be taken seriously.

After dinner, Ling Guyue handed the luggage to Xiao Chou and said, "Look at the luggage carefully, I'll go out for a while."

"What are you going to do, brother?"

Ling Guyue said: "It's nothing, go out and have a look."

Xiao Chou pursed her lips, "Senior Brother doesn't mean he wants to get rid of me, does he?"

Ling Guyue sighed: "My luggage is all here with you."

Xiao Chou thought for a while, and became happy again, "That's good... Brother come back soon!"

As dusk falls, the birds return to the forest.No one noticed that there was a red shadow gliding along the continuous rooftops towards the central street.

Ling Guyue looked at the Hongyun Building, which was one floor higher than the surrounding houses, tapped her toes, and volleyed towards the top of the Hongyun Building.

The whole building was very quiet because there were no guests.Ling Guyue lifted a tile and looked inside.

Right now is a guest room with a table and a candle on it.The candles were so dimly lit that the whole house could not be illuminated clearly.There was another person sitting at the table, a twenty-eight-year-old woman, who was also the woman Ling Guyue and Xiao Chou caught a glimpse of when they passed by the Hongyun Tower.

Ling Guyue saw her sitting in front of the table in a daze, holding a withered red medicine in her hand, her eyes were watery and full of emotion.

Ling Guyue put the tiles back on again, and came to the top of another room, before she lifted the tiles to peep, she heard the sound of panting inside.

Thinking of who lived in this room, Ling Guyue lifted the tile roof more carefully than before, and looked through the lights in the room, and she saw Lin Jue.

Lin Jue was dressed in white silk and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Behind him was a big man in black.He only heard him ask with deep tiredness: "How is it? Can you get in touch with them?"

The big man said in a deep voice: "Not yet..."

Hearing this, Lin Jue gasped again, and said with a tinge of anger in his tone, "Why haven't we been in touch for three days?"

The big man said with a guilty conscience: "When they saw us waiting in front of the door, they couldn't help but drive us away. When I was trying to reason, a woman came out and danced with a white silk. I thought she was dancing, but I didn't notice it for a while. , she injured her left arm..." As he spoke, he seemed to feel the pain in his arm, so he pressed it.

Lin Jue sneered and said, "It's really useless for a group of women to scare you like this..."

The big man hung his head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

"Forget it, you wait for me at the foot of the mountain," Lin Jue turned around and said, "Wait for me to meet you in the past."

The big man nodded, "The subordinates will step back first."

Lin Jue waved and said, "Go ahead and call Lu Yuan over."

After the big man turned and left, the door opened in a short while, and the green kite came in, still holding the withered red medicine in her hand.

"Landlord, are you looking for me?"

Lin Jue sighed, "Lu Yuan, I already know who your sister is."

"Really?" Lu Yuan asked eagerly.

Ling Guyue leaned over the roof to check. After listening for a long time, she didn't hear what their purpose was. Seeing that Lin Jue was about to say something, she perked up and listened.

Lin Jue said: "Have you heard of Jiaochen Pavilion?"

"Jiaochen Pavilion?" Lu Yuan frowned, "Sister is from the rivers and lakes?"

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Your sister is not only a person in the Jianghu, but also the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world."

"Her...what's her name?" Lu Yuan trembled.

"Fan Shiyao."

"Fan Shiyao..." Lu Yuan lowered her head and chewed on the words, "It's a nice name."
