Looking for plums under the moon

Shen Luo sneered and said, "Who is your elder brother?"

Ling Guyue winked at him upon hearing this.

Shen Luo pursed her lips, and immediately restrained the stinging chill.

I only heard Xiao Qiu sincerely said: "I'm sorry, Big Brother Shen, I hurt you before, and I will never do it again..."

"No need," Shen Luo said, "Get out of here."

Xiao Qiu raised his head and said, "Brother Shen, I have already promised my senior brother that I will never hurt you again...will you forgive me?"

Shen Luo's tone froze, "Who is your senior brother?"

Xiaoqiu glanced at Ling Guyue, but didn't speak.

Ling Guyue patted Shen Luo's shoulder, and said softly: "I asked him to come back with me."

"Why?" There was a sense of disappointment in Shen Luo's eyes, "Brother, I am not enough?"

Ling Guyue said: "He has no one to rely on, since he has let go of the past, it's okay to follow me."

Shen Luo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then what about me?"

Ling Guyue smiled helplessly: "Do you want to compare with a child?"

Shen Luo laughed at himself, "Yes, of course I can't be compared with a child," staring at Xiao Qiu in the blink of an eye, "Since brother said so, it seems that I can't agree... But I still don't trust you."

Xiao Qiu was so stared at by him, he hid behind Ling Guyue, "Senior Brother..."

"Okay," Ling Guyue stood between the two of them, "It's on the street, if we have something to say, wait until we find an inn."

Xiao Qiu nodded, and took Ling Guyue's hand, "I happened to find out some news about Jiaochen Pavilion on the way and wanted to tell my brother."

"Okay," Ling Guyue glanced at him, and said to Shen Luo, "Junior brother, let's go."

He turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Shen Luo.

Shen Luo stared intently at the two people's intertwined hands, walked to the other side of Ling Guyue and clasped his fingers together.

"Brother, this is only fair." Shen Luo glared at Xiao Qiu provocatively.

Ling Guyue had no choice but to walk down the street holding one of them, like two children.

On the busy street, two tall, particularly attractive young men, accompanied by a boy in yellow clothes, if not for gender mismatch, they really look like a family of three...

After finding an inn, the three of them sat in the lobby and ordered a table of good food.

I don't know if Xiao Qiu has been hungry for a long time, and he stuffed all the vegetables into his mouth, and even grabbed the chicken legs on the plate with his mouth full.

Shen Luo looked at him dissatisfied, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Qiu said "Mmmm" twice, and put the chicken leg into Ling Guyue's bowl, "Brother Xi...just..."

Ling Guyue shook her head, and gave him the chicken leg again, "Eat, drink some water, and eat slowly."

Xiao Chou finished the meal hungrily, and seeing the mess on the table, Ling Guyue asked: "Do you want to order something?"

Xiao Qiu hurriedly waved his hands, lying on the table holding his stomach and said, "I can't eat anymore... hiccup..."

Shen Luo kept his face cold, "Since we're full, can we talk?"

Xiao Qiu rubbed his stomach, his eyes were clear, "What does Brother Shen want to know?"

Shen Luo said: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you are not good at martial arts, how can you follow us to Luofu Mountain?"

Ling Guyue was also full of doubts when he raised this point.

Back then when he left Jinling, he was found by Xiao Qiu time and time again, and the reason for it might not just be a coincidence... Then he asked, "We traveled so fast this way, how did you catch up?"

Xiao Qiu blinked, "Senior Brother, Big Brother Shen, it's actually because of my nose..."

"nose?"

Xiao Qiu proudly said: "I have been very good with my nose since I was a child. My master taught me to identify herbs. As long as I smell it, I can tell what it is. I can clearly distinguish the smell of anyone, so on this journey I just followed the senior brother through the scent."

"You're lying again," Shen Luo sneered, "Since you have a good sense of smell, why didn't you find out where we were on the street just now?"

Xiao Qiu whispered: "Because there were too many people on the street just now, the brother's aura lingered at that intersection and suddenly disappeared. I was impatient and couldn't tell..."

Shen Luo snorted and stopped talking.

Ling Guyue was dubious, and asked again: "Just now you said that you found out about Jiaochen Pavilion, what is it?"

Xiao Qiu nodded, and said solemnly: "I met some people on the way here...they also came to Jiaochen Pavilion."

"who?"

"Some of them look ferocious, while others look like ordinary people. By the way, there is a girl inside. Brother, do you still remember the group of people who packed up the whole building when we went to Pingnan? At that time I passed by the door and saw a girl with a quick glance, but I didn't expect that girl to be among the group of people!"

Ling Guyue asked doubtfully, "Is it the green kite?"

"Brother, do you know them?" Xiao Qiu looked at him, "That girl looked very anxious, and kept asking others if they found the landlord, did they find the landlord..."

Ling Guyue's heart skipped a beat, the landlord?Could it be that Lin Jue disappeared?

"what happened?"

Xiao Qiu said: "After I met them, I secretly followed them for a while. Listening to what they said, it seemed that there was a person... It was the landlord, who fell into the river and was never seen. Found it. At first, the whole group was in a hurry, but that girl came up with an idea, saying that they wanted to go to Jiaochen Pavilion to ask someone to help find their landlord."

Fall into the river?

Ling Guyue suddenly remembered that he was standing on the bow of the boat that day, and happened to see Lin Jue was also going to Pingnan on the boat. It should have been overturned at that time.It's okay for others to say, but Lin Jue doesn't know anything about martial arts, and his body is weak, so he doesn't know whether he is going to live or die now.Thinking that Nuanyanyu was still on him, in case something happened to him...

Ling Guyue frowned, "Where is that pedestrian now?"

Xiao Qiu said: "They should still be behind, and they will probably arrive in two days."

Ling Guyue nodded, and said to Shen Luo: "Let's not rush up the mountain, wait for Lu Yuan and the others to come and ask what's going on before making any plans."

Shen Luo said: "Lu Yuan...is she Fan Shiyao's younger sister?"

Ling Guyue said: "Yes, nine years ago, Cheng Shuang took Fan Shiyao and sisters down the mountain. He didn't want to lose his sister Fan Shiyue, so Lin Jue just picked her up. Lin Jue knew her true identity a long time ago. Didn't tell her. Lu Yuan was kept in the dark, she only thought that Lin Jue helped her find her sister, but she didn't know that his real purpose was actually the King of Red Medicine..."

Shen Luo thought for a while, "Brother, why didn't Lin Jue exchange the green kite for the Red Medicine King from the beginning?"

Ling Guyue said: "I was also surprised at first, but after Prince Du wrote the reason in his book, I realized it after reading it... It turns out that the Red Medicine King, one of the four great medicines, is not a dead thing, it has already died. It is more than a hundred years old, but it is still alive, but it will die after three days out of the soil, and the medicine will lose its effect at that time."

Shen Luo tapped on the table with his fingers, and pondered: "So it's like this... Lin Jue wasn't sure to find the Nuanyanyu within three days, so he had to wait until he got the Nuanyanyu before thinking about the Red Medicine King..."

Ling Guyue said: "That's true." Turning around and seeing Xiao Qiu looking at herself inexplicably, she said with a smile: "Let's stay in the city for two days first, and wait for them to come over." After saying that, she walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Book three upper rooms."

Shen Luo's black eyes turned slightly to Xiao Qiu, and when he saw him smiling at him, he immediately frowned.

At night, Ling Guyue was lying on the couch, the moon and stars were sparse outside the window, and the jackdaws were wailing.

It was in the dead of night, Ling Guyue was about to go to sleep, when she suddenly heard a painful murmur from the next room.

"Master...brother!"

Ling Guyue was stunned, Shen Luo?what happened to him?

He listened carefully for a while, only to hear the endless friction of the corners of the clothes in the room next door, as if someone was tearing them.

He got out of bed gently and walked to the next door.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Xiao Qiu's eyes were full of anger, he was pressing down on Shen, holding a dagger in his right hand, intending to stab him.

And Shen Luo struggled to resist his hand holding the knife, with cold sweat on his forehead.Seeing Ling Guyue coming, her face became even paler, "Senior Brother..."

Seeing that he was exhausted, the tip of the knife in Xiao Qiu's hand was aimed at his heart and was about to fall.

"Stop!" Ling Guyue panicked, stepped forward to knock down the dagger, and carried Xiaochou to the corner.

Xiao Qiu knelt on the ground, seeing that it was him, he held his throat and coughed desperately.

"You... how did you promise me?" Ling Guyue asked word by word.

Xiao Qiu looked up at him, his eyes were red, he kept shaking his head, coughing continuously, but couldn't speak.

Shen Luo got up from the bed and walked to Ling Guyue's side, with a look of shock.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Ling Guyue couldn't help holding his hand, "Are you all right?"

Shen Luo forced a smile and said, "Brother, I'm fine."

Xiao Qiu lay on the ground gasping for breath, retching non-stop.

The lamp was like a bean, and the dagger was shining faintly in the room, lying quietly on the ground.

It was eerily quiet, except for Xiao Qiu's panting, which was almost audible.

"You really disappoint me." Ling Guyue's voice was as cool as autumn water, he sighed, and in the end he didn't look at Xiao Qiu again, and led Shen Luo out.

When he turned around, he naturally didn't see the smile on Shen Luo's lips and Xiao Qiu's aggrieved gaze.

"Senior brother," Shen Luo followed behind him, whispering, "It's all my fault that made senior brother worry about me..."

Ling Guyue frowned and said, "I thought he could let him go." Thinking of Xiao Qiu's swearing to him today, but he was about to kill Shen Luo in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help feeling a little chilled, "Maybe I shouldn't keep him..."

Shen Luo said: "What do you plan to do, brother?"

Ling Guyue looked out of the window, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the light and shadow were hazy, "Tomorrow... let him leave."

Shen Luo smiled, hugged him from behind, leaned on his shoulder and said: "Senior brother, don't be sad, I will always be by your side."

Ling Guyue looked at the hands on her waist, and calmed down a little, no matter what, he was still sinking.
