Xiaoyu reached out to take the bamboo pole, but Uncle Liu waved his hand to refuse, signaling him to stop.
Not long after, an old man and a young man walked slowly out of the forest.
The old man was carrying an empty basket on a bamboo pole, holding the pole in one hand and his iron fishing rod in the other.
The young man covered his arms and followed to the side.
"Uncle Liu, your mission?" Xiaoyu asked tentatively.
Uncle Liu replied: "That's all. I am the employer and I am the killer. I will use the money to withdraw from the task when the time comes."
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Xiaoyu frowned.
Uncle Liu chuckled, "Go back home, go fishing, and take care of yourself."
Xiao Yu curled her lips and said, "Actually, the number one killer on the seventh floor should be you. In terms of martial arts, I'm afraid none of the killers on the seventh floor will be your opponent."
Uncle Liu waved his hand and sighed: "Okay, little brother, don't mention it. The killer list on the seventh floor is not based on martial arts. Otherwise, any famous martial arts master in the world who came to the seventh floor would be ranked first." The killer is ahead."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu calmed down and walked behind Uncle Liu.
"Are you proficient in the art of disguise?" Uncle Liu walked in front, paused, and asked Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu replied: "It's not a disguise, it's a bone-disguising art."
"Broken bone disguising technique?" Uncle Liu asked curiously.
Xiaoyu replied: "Well, the art of changing bones to change appearance, the old man was once an elder of the Qingcheng sect."
When Uncle Liu heard this, he said "Oh" and replied: "There are rumors in the world that the Qingcheng sect's bone-shaping and disguising technique has been lost long ago. I didn't expect it to be seen again. Who is the old man?"
Xiaoyu replied: "He is the one who adopted me."
Uncle Liu wanted to ask something more, but he didn't know what to ask. The old man and the young man walked like this, and gradually reached the bridge across the river.
"By the way, have you finished your work?" Uncle Liu asked Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu replied: "What's the matter?"
"Disaster relief." Uncle Liu frowned.
Xiaoyu shook her head and replied: "There is another Gong County below Jiang County. It's going to be fast. I don't have many banknotes in my hand."
After hearing this, Uncle Liu replied: "The injury on my arm needs to be healed for a while. I am old and have nothing to do. How about I go for a walk with you and go fishing by the way?"
Xiaoyu heard this and said happily: "It's just right, thank you Uncle Liu."
"Where are you going now?" Uncle Liu asked Xiaoyu.
"Facing the shore ahead, I want to go to the teahouse to drink tea, and by the way, see if the old lady selling sweet potatoes next to the teahouse is still there." Xiaoyu replied.
An old man and a young man were at a farmhouse near the bridge. Uncle Liu gave the peasant woman some loose money as a thank you for helping look after the donkeys.
The two of them sent the basket to the farmhouse by the river to avoid arousing suspicion.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu rode on the donkey and handed the bamboo pole with the Nirvana Sword to Uncle Liu. They took it together. The two of them slowly ran towards the bank of Luoling River, where the silver had just been sent.
"Boss, two bowls of clear tea and two bowls of plain noodles." Uncle Liu said to the teahouse owner.
"Okay, old man, please wait a moment." Business in the teahouse was not good, so the boss naturally recognized this man as the old fisherman who just went fishing. "Old man, are you picking up your grandson?"
Uncle Liu smiled slightly and nodded.
Xiaoyu's age is also that of Uncle Liu's grandson, and Xiaoyu doesn't bother to explain.
Xiaoyu looked at the familiar old banyan tree next to the teahouse and remembered the time when she and the old man starved under that tree overnight.
He stood up slowly and came to the room on the side of the teahouse.
The house was in dilapidated condition and filled with clutter. It had become a place where the teahouse owner piled firewood.
The teahouse owner was busy cooking noodles under the eaves, facing the light rain.
Xiaoyu asked: "May I ask the boss, where is the old lady selling sweet potatoes here?"
When the boss heard this, he was startled, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Young man, are you a local?"
Xiaoyu frowned, shook her head, and replied, "I've been here before."
The boss smiled and said: "It's strange that you know Granny Zhang. It turns out that she has been here before. Granny, she was alone. She disappeared a few years ago, so this house became an abandoned house. Now I use it to pile some firewood."
Xiaoyu nodded when he heard this, remembering that he and the old man passed by here at the beginning. It was also at this time that they ran out of money and started begging for food.
When I was hungry but hard to speak, the old lady sent me two roasted sweet potatoes.
At that time, Xiao Yu felt that these sweet potatoes were the most delicious thing in the world, and her mother-in-law's kind and smiling face was deeply imprinted in his memory...
"Brother, it's time to eat noodles." Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Yu who was in a daze, pointed at the table, and shouted.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu came back from her thoughts and said, "Come right now."
The two of them sat down and ate some pasta. Liu Bo sat upright and asked the boss, "Boss, where is the medical center nearby? This child has some injuries on his hands. We need to get some medicine."
The boss replied: "There used to be a medical clinic at the entrance of the village. There have been disasters these days, and all the doctors at the medical clinic have gone to escape the disaster, and no one is around. But a few days ago, I heard that a young doctor came to the town three miles away to the north. Husband and wife, you can go and try your luck, they are here for a free clinic, and if they are people affected by the disaster, they will not charge any money."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu replied, "Thank you very much."
After hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and thought that these two couples had come to Yunzhou after all. Who else could they be here if they weren't the Luoyao couple who came to the free clinic here.
After lunch, the two led the donkey to the town where the Luoyao Couple Free Clinic was held.
"Xiao Yu! What a coincidence, I see you again." Luo Yao was very happy to see Xiao Yu. This was the first time they had met.
Xiaoyu smiled and replied: "Brother Luoyao, Sister-in-law Luo."
Luo Yao and the other two hurriedly asked Xiao Yu to sit beside him.
Luo Yao saw Xiaoyu covering her arm and asked, "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?"
Xiaoyu replied: "I accidentally injured my arm. I heard in town that Brother Luo and you two were here, so I came to seek medical treatment."
"Easy to say, easy to say, I'll help you deal with it right now." Luo Yao was talking while treating Xiaoyu's injuries.
Luo Yao and Xiao Yu chatted and talked about Gongjia County in Minzhou. Luo Yao said that later Zengjia Grain Farm's conscience discovered that they opened a warehouse to release grain for free.
Xiao Yu was silent in her heart and happily discussed with him...
In the next few days, Uncle Liu followed Xiaoyu to provide disaster relief, which was considered a favor to Xiaoyu.
Yunzhou's war has come to an end.
The injury on Xiaoyu's arm that Uncle Liu had beaten was completely healed.
Ferry.
On the returning boat, an old man and a young man stood side by side.
"Where to go from now on?" Uncle Liu asked Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Go back to Muyun Mountain first and then go back to the village to see the old man and the master."
"Yes, in that case, how about we go back together?" Uncle Liu smiled slightly.
Xiaoyu nodded.
"Uncle Liu, please keep my identity secret."
"Of course it will."
