I wandered around aimlessly for a long time, and didn't know how I should walk on the road after that. When I thought about how sad my father and mother were, and how such a thing happened right after separating from them, I didn't doubt in the slightest that Cripple Leg would attack my parents.
After returning to the room, Hu Qian's figure appeared on the sofa and sat there quietly. I wasn't the least bit happy when I saw Hu Qian, so I asked indifferently: "Are you awake?"
Hu Qian turned her head, her eyes extremely distant.
"You must be hungry. I'll take you to eat something later. I'm going home, you should go home too." Ye Zichen closed the door and said.
"Who are you?" Hu Qian suddenly asked.
"Are you confused by your sleep? I am Chen Fengjiao. " I frowned.
"No, you're not fat." Hu Qian shook her head and said.
"What's the matter with you?" Looking at Hu Qian's stupefied expression, my heart trembled. Could it be that Cripple Leg did something?
Hu Qian said: "I just had a dream, that dream is related to you."
Hu Qian's voice did not sound sorrowful at all.
"Dreams and reality are the opposite." A feeling of exhaustion permeated his body as he said, "Let's do it this way. I still have something important on my hands, so I can't care less about you these days. You should go home."
Hu Qian quietly sat there. It was unknown if she heard it, but it was Hu Qian who looked good, but she didn't look like Hu Qian.
There was no one left to speak in the room, and an awkward atmosphere pervaded the air. After packing her luggage, she dragged Hu Qian out of the house.
"You've changed." On the way to the airport, Hu Qian suddenly said.
"It's getting better and worse?" I grinned.
"It became something I don't know anymore." Hu Qian turned her head and looked out the window as she spoke calmly.
I looked down at my hands. Did I change? I don't think so. I'm just a little tired, a little tired, that's all.
"Why did you suddenly go home?" Hu Qian asked: "How long have I actually slept for?"
Hu Qian who was at the airport waiting room asked.
"Half a month at most." I said, "It's all over. Don't think too much. "
He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples to relieve his body and mind.
When we were about to board the plane, I looked at Hu Qian doubtfully and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Hu Qian raised his head and said seriously: "It's good to stay by your side."
"Are you confessing to me again?" I smiled. "Then you're coming home with me."
Hu Qian also did not agree or object. The two of them returned to Peony Flower City again, it was already eight in the night, when they brought Hu Qian back home, it was empty.
On the plane, I told Hu Qian everything that had happened. As for the military tomb, my parents being absent was also within my expectations. It was also the worst outcome that I had imagined.
He lit up a cigarette and smoked without saying a word.
"What do you want to do next?" Hu Qian's voice sounded.
Extinguishing the cigarette butt, he turned to Hu Qian and asked: "Do you still remember this Zhou Sigui?"
"Zhou Sigui?" Hu Qian's face revealed an expression of doubt.
"The one who seriously injured you at school." I said.
"Yes, so what?" Then he frowned at me and said, "It's too risky! What's more …"
"There's no such thing as an eternal friend, only eternal interests. Whether it's the Map of Mountains And Rivers s or Guild Shadow Sect, all of them want a share of the spoils, I refuse to believe that I can't get that big fish in my mouth. Only if things get chaotic will I have the chance to save my parents."
"What do you want me to do?" Hu Qian asked.
"There are only two things you need to do. Use your methods to spread the news of the Map of Mountains And Rivers in my hands around the yin yang path. The other thing is to protect yourself well." I opened my mouth and said,
Hu Qian thoughtfully nodded her head.
"It's getting late, go to sleep. We're going to move out tomorrow."
On the second day, according to Hu Qian, she had already walked out with the news of the Map of Mountains And Rivers in my hands. As for the method to obtain it, I do not understand, but it is not important, what I need to do now is to wait quietly, wait for Zhou Sigui to appear, and make a deal with his hands.
I never thought that when Zhou Sigui didn't arrive, he would receive news from the Taoist Yin.
Two days later, Taoist Yin's phone call came in, sounding a bit reprimanded: "Did you spread the news of the Map of Mountains And Rivers in your hands?"
Nodding in acknowledgement, Taoist Yin said helplessly: "Why did you do this? I didn't want you in the mud... "
"Taoist Yin." I smiled bitterly and interrupted him, "From the moment I started learning Dao, I was already in the mud. Moreover …" "Sigh, I can't explain it clearly on the phone. If you have nothing better to do, come find me at Luo Yang. I'll tell you in full detail."
Two days later at the train station, I finally saw Taoist Yin again.
Dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, Zhao Yuhui beside me still looks the same. The two of them had thick dark circles under their eyes that made me suspicious.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Although the matter of the corpse has already been resolved, there's still a big fellow involved …" Zhao Yuhui nodded.
This was indeed a troublesome matter, he thought to himself.
"What's going on with you?" Taoist Yin's exhausted voice sounded.
I looked at the bustling square and said, "We'll talk about it at my place."
The tea on the tea table had already cooled down, and after a long narration, Taoist Yin looked at me with eyes filled with love and worry. I knew what the Taoist Yin was thinking about, so I turned my head to look at him.
"Zhou Sigui is not someone who can be used." Zhao Yuhui frowned, "Although you thought it through quite well."
"As long as the bait is large enough, how can a fish not be hooked?" I laughed.
Zhao Yuhui looked at Taoist Yin and opened his mouth, I snatched his words: "Although Taoist Yin's Tao techniques are outstanding, his dao heart is the same, the matter of killing is definitely Zhou Sigui's fault, ah,"
It's unknown what Taoist Yin was thinking, but he didn't speak at all to listen to the conversation between Zhao Yuhui and I. Hu Qian, who was sitting beside me, was quietly listening to our conversation.
Suddenly, the Taoist Yin sneered as he looked at Hu Qian and joked: "Little girl, you finally believe in this brat?"
I also didn't think that Taoist Yin would suddenly bring the topic up to the two of them, Hu Qian and Yue Yang, who were at a loss for words. Hu Qian smiled and did not speak.
I saw that Taoist Yin still wanted to tease me, so I hurriedly changed the topic, "Taoist Yin, isn't this the same as talking about proper business? What happened to you?"
"I'm talking about proper business." Taoist Yin laughed, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to her if there was even the slightest mistake in her plan? What if Zhou Sigui doesn't fall for your trap? "
"If Zhou Sigui doesn't fall for it, then we can only fight him head on. But right now, Zhou Sigui also hasn't said that he won't fall for it, right?"
Taoist Yin was silent and the room became silent.
After a long while, the Taoist Yin stood up and said: "The boat will have to take a break. We should rest first.
I nodded and they went into the bedroom.
But I was not the least bit sleepy, and only Hu Qian and I were left in the living room.
Smoke rose one after another, smoke lingered around. Hu Qian frowned: "Stop smoking, it's not good for the body."
"It's fine. You should rest first and decide what to do tomorrow."
"What about you?" Hu Qian asked.
"Sleep here." Ye Zichen twitched his mouth, then indicated the sofa with a smile, "I can't possibly sleep in the same room as you."
Hu Qian's face instantly flushed red, she nodded and headed towards the other bedroom.
At night, my dream parents opened their arms and hugged me. I limped over to their arms, and when I woke up, tears were streaming down my face. At some point, a blanket had been wrapped around my body.
On the second day, Hu Qian's room door opened first. She rubbed his eyes, looked at Hu Qian, who was trying her best to resist the redness in his eyes, and bid her good morning.
However, Hu Qian's eyes were also red. She heard Hu Qian say: "Zhou Sigui has received news."
Suddenly, he jumped up from the sofa in excitement. "Where is he?"
"Guangzhou," Hu Qian said. "And he told us she wanted to see you."
"Alright." He stood up and walked towards the luggage. "Wait for me here," he said. "Don't run around."
"That's not what I want to tell you," Hu Qian said as she held onto the corner of her clothes.
"What do you want to say? Wait for me to come back, it's not like we're leaving each other forever." I smiled nonchalantly.
"Feng, I want to say something to you as well." Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Yuhui's voice.
Turning around, I saw the three of them standing in the doorway, watching me as I packed.
"Taoist Yin, you should understand me." I look at Taoist Yin, hoping to gain some support from him.
In my world, the sky had already collapsed. It was pitch-black, and all I wanted was a light.
Taoist Yin sighed: "I understand you, Yu Hui is preparing to go to Guangzhou with us."
"Master …" But Zhou Sigui, he … "
Taoist Yin waved his hand and said: "Everything is heaven's will, a person cannot defeat the heavens."
Zhao Yuhui compromised, and the Taoist Yin turned to Hu Qian and smiled: "You will stay here and wait for him to come."
Hu Qian nodded in agreement.
Taoist Yin chose to travel by train rather than by plane. I didn't have the slightest complaint as I looked at the scenery receding rapidly outside the window. Half of my heart was clear while the other half was cloudy.
I've considered everything that's going to happen to me, whether it's good or bad. The three of them looked at each other in silence as the train reached its next stop.
The empty spot had an extra figure in it. This person was wearing a green daoist robe with black eyes. He was no different from a swindler under the bridge.
He placed his luggage on the carriage frame and looked down, only to see his black glasses moving to the bottom, staring at Taoist Yin's face for a long time.
"Ah!" He cried out involuntarily and shook Taoist Yin's hand, "Mr. Yin, I've always heard your story of me growing up. This time, being able to see a living person with my own eyes, the heavens are truly blessed to have taken care of me."
I saw that the wrinkles on this fellow's face were pretty much the same as Taoist Yin's, full of contempt. I saw that the guy's face was pretty much the same as Taoist Yin's, full of disdain.
Taoist Yin looked at the smiling face of Yun Che for a long time before asking, "You are Qing Lin?"
