Looking for plums under the moon

The robbers did not come until the meal was over.

Qingzhu looked at the open door and asked, "Shopkeeper, are they still here today?"

The old man was also very nervous, constantly paying attention to the movement outside, "I should have come here to collect the offerings in the past, I don't know what happened today..."

Ling Guyue sat at the table and propped her chin, "No rush, just wait."

The old man added some oil to the lamp, and told the old woman to hide in the backyard, while he stayed and looked at the door nervously.

Shen Luo squinted his eyes and pressed his fingers on the table. Suddenly, his eyelids opened slightly, and the movements of his hands stopped.

Ling Guyue said: "Someone is here."

A moment later, a group of strong men on horseback whizzed past the street.

The group of people were dressed in black dresses, with shiny big knives pinned to their waists, and they were talking nasty words and making a lot of noise, just like a group of wild boars just coming out of their cages searching for pig food from house to house.

They hung the offerings on their horses, and continued to search along the street as usual. When they reached the corner of the street, they suddenly saw a house with lights on in the dark and continuous houses, which was particularly conspicuous.

They couldn't help but paused.

One person wondered: "How dare this family open the door with lights on? Did they forget what day it is?"

The big man in the head looked up to the sky and laughed, "I know this old man, every time he is the most greedy for life and afraid of death, he gives good things! Whether he forgets or not, since the doors are open to welcome us, let's go in and have a look! "As he said, he raised his hand, "Let's go, brothers!"

"Okay! Listen to big brother, let's go!"

A group of people was about to enter the inn in a hurry. As soon as they arrived at the door, the leader immediately sensed that the situation was wrong, and made a stop gesture, "Slow down!"

Looking inside, the inn was brightly lit, and the tables and chairs in the lobby were neatly arranged. The old owner of the inn was hiding behind the counter with only his head exposed, staring at him with wide eyes.

In addition to acquaintances, there are more than a dozen uninvited guests in the lobby.

Several men in white clothes stood upright on both sides, and two people sat in the middle, drinking tea leisurely.

Those two people were not ordinary people at first glance, one was dressed in black with a cold face, the other was dressed in red, and looked charming and charming.

The big man watched them vigilantly, and his eyes stopped on Ling Guyue for a while, then the corners of his eyes twitched, and he asked the shopkeeper: "Old man, who are these people?"

The shopkeeper said with a trembling voice, "They...they are my guests..."

The big man laughed, swung the big knife in his hand, and put it on his shoulder, "Guest... good! Is there any reason not to slaughter the fat sheep delivered to the door?" He was about to make a move, but was stopped by a subordinate behind him.

The man leaned close to his ear and whispered something, while speaking, he aimed at Ling Guyue.

"Oh?" The big man frowned, "You said that the one in the red dress has martial arts?"

"That's right, he was the one who smashed my stall that day!" the man said angrily.

Ling Guyue heard his familiar voice, looked at his wretched eyes, and remembered that he was the tea stall owner who killed himself for money by the side of the road, so it turned out that he was with this group of people...

"Hmph, don't worry, I will avenge you today!" The big man patted the man's shoulder, his eyes burst out with killing intent, and he gestured with his chin: "Brothers, kill all these people in white clothes, oh! , and the one in black, with a dejected look on his face, made me feel uncomfortable just looking at it. Just leave the one in red! I have never seen such a beauty since I grew up! Stay here and wait for the master to play If you have enough, give it to..."

Before he finished speaking, a cup of hot tea was splashed on his face.Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged in time, only letting the tea splash on him.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby froze.

This is tantamount to being slapped in the face in public. The big man turned his head and looked at Shen Luo with a livid face, "You fucking..."

Shen Luo said coldly: "You are courting death."

"Don't be angry," Ling Guyue said lightly, "It doesn't matter if you let him take advantage of a word or two, he is just a dying person."

The big man only felt that the voice was as clear and pleasant as a spring in the mountains, and his heart moved, he strode forward, stepped on the chair and looked at Shen Luo, and said: "I see you are looking for death!"

Looking at Ling Guyue again, she said with a smile, "Beauty, it's fine if you're sensible, but if you don't know what to do, today will be your death day!" After saying that, he waved his hand, "Brothers, get rid of this black dress for me first." Yes, I will chop off his hand to drink!"

The young man behind him was about to slash with his knife aggressively, and with the whistling wind of the knife, he slashed forward with all his strength.

It's just that as soon as the tip of the knife fell to the top of Shen Luo's head, the wrist of the man holding the knife could not go down any further.

He followed the tip of the knife in disbelief, and two fingers as warm as jade were holding the blade tightly.

"You...you..." The man was not convinced, and continued to press down hard.

But the blade is still stuck between Ling Guyue's two fingers, motionless.

Ling Guyue saw that he was sweating profusely, with a smile on his lips, she suddenly let go of her fingers and flicked them instead.

With a crisp sound, the young man holding the knife only felt numb in his tiger's mouth, and could no longer hold the handle of the knife, and the bright big knife fell off his palm and rolled down to the ground.

"My knife!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man hurried to pick up his own knife.

Ling Guyue didn't look at him, she got up and walked towards the big man in the lead.

The big man only felt that the aura around the beauty in red suddenly became stronger, so he backed away without realizing it, "You...what are you going to do?"

Pushing him against the wall, with no way out, Ling Guyue said loudly, "Apologize to my junior brother."

The big man tilted his head and glanced behind him.

Shen Luo didn't seem to expect him to say that, looked at his back blankly, and then smiled lightly.

"You want me to apologize? Dreaming!" The big man seemed to feel that he was underestimated, and raised the knife in his hand to chop off at Ling Guyue.

The old man behind the counter couldn't help shouting: "Heroes be careful!"

Ling Guyue didn't move at all, just waiting for the saber to approach, her footwork suddenly drifted to both sides like a ghost.

The big man could only see his phantom, slashing from left to right, slashing with his sword so that nothing leaked.However, after dancing for a long time, he didn't even touch a piece of his clothes.

The big man was exhausted and out of breath, and shouted behind him at the top of his voice: "How long are you going to wait? Let me do it together!"

Only then did the man in black behind him react, he quickly drew his weapon, and was about to attack together.

Shen Luo, who was sitting by the side, glanced at Qing Zhu, "Don't let senior brother get blood on his body."

Qingzhu understood, jumped in front of Ling Guyue, said with a smile: "Master, let me do it."

The other disciples also shifted their shapes and steps, and unknowingly stood behind the man in black.

In an instant, Ling Guyue was surrounded by black-clothed robbers, and immediately turned into white-clothed disciples surrounded by black-clothed robbers.

Ling Guyue nodded, not intending to play tricks on them anymore, and floated leisurely back to Shen Luo's side.

Shen Luo looked up, "Brother, let's go to rest."

Ling Guyue smiled at him, "Wait a minute."

Shen Luo was puzzled, and was afraid that the bloody color would make him uncomfortable, so he pulled him to sit beside him, "Don't look at them, it's dirty brother's eyes."

Ling Guyue met his pair of pitch-black eyes, felt a little disturbed, coughed and said: "Wait a minute..." quickly turned her head to look at Qingzhu and the others.

Those men in black were mostly strong men, except for their strength, they knew almost nothing about martial arts, and they were subdued to the ground without a single move.

Qingzhu's long sword rested between the necks of the leading man, and said disdainfully: "Kneel down."

The big man was still a little reluctant, let out a cold snort from his nose, and looked away.

Ling Guyue said: "Bring him here."

Qingzhu nodded, and retracted the long sword.

Seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, the big man was about to run out with his eyes gleaming.

But as soon as he thought of it, Qingzhu's two fingers landed on the acupuncture points on his chest, and suddenly he felt his body go limp, and he couldn't help but kneel down.

Qingzhu picked up his collar, and effortlessly carried him to Ling Guyue like a sandbag, and then kicked him on the crook of the leg, only to hear the big man cry out in pain, finally still Kneeled on the ground.

"If you want to kill or shave, just come, I won't even frown!" the big man said stubbornly.

Ling Guyue walked in front of him slowly, and said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "How to deal with you is a matter for later, now, you have to apologize to my junior brother."

The big man raised his eyebrows and said, "Impossible!"

Ling Guyue said lightly: "If you are stubborn again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

The big man glared at him, "Come here! I am not afraid of anything, but will I still be afraid of you!"

Ling Guyue's eyebrows drooped slightly, her face couldn't see clearly, but her hand grabbed his right hand as quickly as a gust of lightning.

The big man hadn't seen clearly how he made the move, he only felt a sharp pain coming from the thumb of his right hand.Looking down, the thumb is loosely hanging on the palm, like a dead branch that has nothing to do with him, and the finger has no feeling at all.

"My hand..." The big man's face was pale, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Ling Guyue stared at him, "Apologize."

The big man gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Next, Qingzhu watched Ling Guyue with a look of surprise as he broke off the remaining four fingers of his right hand one after another.

"Ah!" The big man let out a scream.

"Your right hand can no longer hold a knife. If you also want to let me abolish your left hand, you can continue to remain silent." Ling Guyue's voice was lukewarm, like the breeze between bamboos.

The eyes of the other men in black who were subdued anxiously persuaded, "Brother! Just say it!"

"That's right! A man can bend and stretch, you will always be our big brother!"

"Brother! If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Hearing this, the big man couldn't help closing his eyes, and when Ling Guyue was staring at his left hand, he said in a deep voice, "Sorry."

Ling Guyue said: "Open your eyes."

The big man reluctantly opened his eyes, saw the man in red pointing at Shen Luo, and said softly, "Apologize to him."

He looked at the man in black, pursed his lips in humiliation, and said, "Sorry!"

And Shen Luo never looked at the big man from the beginning to the end, Ling Guyue was always the only one in his eyes.

Ling Guyue got up, turned her head to look at the shopkeeper, "Old man, these people are your enemies in Liu Jiazhen, why don't they let you deal with them."

The old man came out from behind the counter and said with tears in his eyes, "My son finally got revenge!" He called the old woman, took a gong from the wall, and said excitedly: "We will tell the news to everyone in the town. !” As he spoke, he dragged the old woman and trotted out the door.

Ling Guyue ordered: "Qingzhu, you tie up these people and go out with the shopkeeper, so that everyone in the town can rest assured."

"Yes, Master Ling!"

The sound of the gong woke up everyone in the town, and they heard someone shouting at the top of their lungs: "The robber has been caught! Liujia Town is saved!"

Some people didn't believe it at first, so they poked their heads out quietly in the darkness, and saw an old man in the town beating a gong, leading a group of white-clothed men walking down the street, followed by a bandit tied up by Wuhuada.

"The robber is really caught!" A child pointed to the people on the street, "I know that grandpa, he even gave me food, he won't lie!"

Everyone saw it, and wept with joy, they walked out of the house with lanterns in their hands, and joined the old man's team one after another, shouting loudly in the street: "The robber has been caught! Liujia Town is saved!"

Shouting one after another, surpassing the tide.

Liu Jiazhen, who was hidden in the dark at this time in the past, finally came back to life.

"Where did you catch my wife!" Someone saw the familiar robber and pushed him to the ground like crazy.

"Hmph," the man seemed to feel that it was impossible for him to leave, and he gave up on himself: "Those women are fierce and stubborn, we killed them long ago!"

After everyone heard this, the anger accumulated in their hearts could no longer be suppressed, and their eyes were tearing apart, and they said, "I'm going to kill you!"

Qingzhu hurriedly stopped them, "Wait! I'm still on the street, and there are children beside me, so I don't rush to take revenge."

"Then how to deal with these people?"

"They killed my brother and took away my wife! You can't let them go like this!"

"Exactly! I must personally avenge my sister!"

The old man suggested: "Everyone settle down your children first. A few heroes and I will tie these beasts to the tree in front of the town gate. When everyone is here, let's avenge our relatives together!"

"Good! Kill the robber!"

"Kill the robber!"

Outside the gongs and drums were loud, only Ling Guyue and Shen Luo were left in the inn.

"Brother, it's getting late, let's go to rest."

Ling Guyue nodded, pushed open a door, and when she turned to close the door, she saw Shen Luo standing at the door, "You should also find a room to rest, you have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Shen Luo looked at him, and after a while he smiled and said, "Okay, brother, go to bed early."

Ling Guyue watched him enter the next room before closing the door.

With his back against the door, he suddenly recalled the way Shen looked at him in the past few days.Although as a senior brother, he should protect Shen Sheng who lost his martial arts, but the distance between the two seems to be getting closer and closer, as if they have returned to the intimacy they had when they were young.

But it's not bad.

Ling Guyue laughed and walked towards the bed.

In the middle of the night, the movement in Liujia Town gradually stopped, everyone went back to their homes after venting, even Qingzhu and the others went back to the inn to rest.

When it was quiet and silent, Ling Guyue suddenly woke up.

Just now his heart skipped a beat, as if he heard some strange sound, but when he opened his eyes, there was nothing.

The moonlight was hazy outside the window, and the autumn wind was blowing the leaves, rustling.

Ling Guyue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to close her eyes when she suddenly saw a figure reflected on the window paper, staring at her room in a strange and distorted posture.

The man's head seemed to grow on his chest, his neck was invisible, and his arms were slender and folded into a curved shape.Looking at his movements, it seems that he is about to slam the window.

Ling Guyue sat up suddenly.

He tentatively asked, "Who is it?"

The room was so quiet that I could only hear my own heartbeat.

But when that shadow heard his voice, it was as cunning and nimble as a fox, and disappeared in an instant.
