The backyard of Jubao Pavilion.
Afternoon.
Guo Zhu lay lazily on the recliner and squinted his eyes. Basking in the sun, he glanced at Zhao Yun who was busy taking care of him from time to time.
Guo Zhu was not used to being taken care of at the beginning. He even told Zhao Yun: There is no need for this, she is the shopkeeper of Jubao Pavilion and she has to go to Jubao Pavilion's business.
As a result, Zhao Yun did not refute, but just looked at him with a smile.
Guo Zhu was defeated on the spot, and it only took three days for Guo Zhu to adapt to his current habits from being uncomfortable at the beginning.
Guo Zhu secretly exchanged the Dragon Sword that day, and Zhao Yun didn't report it the next day. Guo Zhu's trust in her increased a little, but not much.
'It's been three days, hasn't Tong Bo discovered the problem with the Soaring Dragon Sword? Guo Zhu thought secretly in his heart, "Maybe he didn't find it. After all, the magical thing has been hidden for a long time. Maybe he found it, but didn't make it public, trying to lure the snake out of its hole." '
While Guo Zhu was thinking, Yin Nan, who was supposed to be guarding the store, ran all the way to the backyard and said respectfully, "Sir, the boss of the Tong family is here to see you."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun glanced at Guo Zhu calmly, as if to say: Has the subcontracting matter been discovered?
Guo Zhu shook his head first, and then said to Yin Nan: "Please."
After receiving a positive response, Yin Nan retreated, leaving Zhao Yun with him.
After a while, Tong Bo arrived at the backyard of Jubao Pavilion under the guidance of Yin Nan.
The breeze was blowing gently, and a person was standing waiting in the courtyard, while a deck chair was still shaking gently.
Under the sunlight, mottled light and shadow were printed on his pure white robe. The man's smile was warm and sincere.
'A humble gentleman. 'This was Tong Bo's first thought when he saw Guo Zhu again.
"Brother Tong is not at home to recover from his injuries. Why did he come to my place, but there is something in short supply?" Guo Zhu asked with cupped hands.
Tong Bo cupped his fists and returned the gift, "Brother Guo has made thoughtful arrangements. Tong Bo is here today to thank Brother Guo."
"Thank you for this?" Guo Zhu blinked, his tone becoming more and more teasing.
"What's more, I want to thank Brother Guo for saving our brothers' lives..." Tong Bo spoke solemnly, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Guo Zhu, "Is there anything I can thank you for? Come on, sit down and talk. "As he said this, he pointed to the stone table and bench next to him.
Tong Bo hesitated for a moment, thanked him, and sat down.
At this time, Zhao Yun, who had just left, came back with fruits and refreshments in his hand, "Brother Tong is here, I often make tea." After saying that, he consciously put down the refreshments and took away the previous snacks.
"Brother Guo is so lucky." Tong Bo joked as he looked at Zhao Yun leaving with the tea.
Guo Zhu pretended not to understand Tong Bo's teasing, and said angrily: "What good luck? This is the shopkeeper I hired, please pay me well."
Tong Bo chuckled, "I don't know how much you paid, but the shopkeeper still has to do the work of serving tea and water."
"Are you still talking about me? Where's Doudou?" Guo Zhu counterattacked.
"Doudou is very good!" Tong Bo smiled softly when he mentioned Doudou.
"Oh, that's good." Guo Zhu smiled teasingly again.
Tong Bo smiled and said nothing, just picked up the teacup and prepared to drink tea.
"Hey? Why is your tea different from mine?" Guo Zhu asked, smelling the aroma of tea.
"Is there any?" Tong Bo was confused and shook his head: "I don't understand tea." He was still holding the cup of tea in his hand.
Guo Zhu took the cup of tea from Tong Bo's hand and shouted: "Okay! Mingqian Longjing! I have never made such good tea for me before. Come on, drink my cup." He couldn't help but say He put the tea in his hand into Tong Bo's hand.
Before Tong Bo could react, he drank Tong Bo's tea in one gulp.
Tong Bo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, took a slow sip of tea, and then told the purpose of his visit.
Guo Zhu, who already knew the plot, listened carefully to Tong Bo's story about their escape from Shuiyue Cave and the reasons.
Probably, in order to avoid the pursuit of a big enemy, the Tong family moved to a place unknown to the enemy. They named this place Shuiyue Cave and established the ancestral motto that the Tong family would not step out of Shuiyue Cave for the rest of their lives. A step into the sky.
The Tong family has always adhered to this rule.
Time flies, white clouds and gray dogs.
Until the leader of the Tong clan became seriously ill, Tong Zhan consulted ancient books and found out that Xue Ruyi was curative for seriously ill people. Tong Zhan took his younger brother Tong Xin out to look for Xue Ruyi. After Tong Bo found out, he wanted to talk to the elders of the Tong clan. Together they use magic to bring back the war and innocence of children.
Unexpectedly, they brought back Tong Zhan and Doudou. In the end, Xue Ruyi was broken into pieces by Doudou. The cold air released by the broken Xue Ruyi froze the entire Shuiyue Cave, and only Tong Bo and the others managed to escape.
After listening to Tong Bo's description, Guo Zhu sighed: "It turns out that such a big change happened in Shuiyue Cave."
"Brother Tong, don't think about going back. Just live a good life here and look forward to everything." Guo Zhu comforted.
Tong Bo shook his head and said: "Shuiyuedongtian is the place where I was born and raised. There are many members of the Tong clan there. I can't give up on them!"
"Save people!" Guo Zhu smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to do this! Did you find the wrong person?"
"You should go to Yujian Villa for this. Blood Ruyi belongs to them. They must know how to break the ice."
When Tong Bo heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "We took Xue Ruyi away at that time and broke it into pieces. Do you think it is possible for me to go to Yujian Villa to seek help? How likely is it that Yujian Villa will... Help us?"
"Wait, I seem to have missed something." Guo Zhu stood up and walked around.
"What's the matter?" Tong Bo asked eagerly, hoping to hear good news from Guo Zhu.
Guo Zhu stood still and spoke slowly, "I was there the day you snatched Xue Ruyi. Later I learned that Xue Ruyi was taken from a maid."
"You said that if the people at Yujian Villa knew that breaking Xue Ruyi would cause such terrible consequences, they would still let a maid who doesn't know martial arts..."
Hearing this, Tong Bo looked desperate.
"Luck, send, blood, like, meaning?" Guo Zhu asked word by word.
Tong Bo's face turned pale and he could not speak a word. He knew that there was one less clue to solve the problem of the ice in Shuiyue Cave.
But Guo Zhu's next words gave him a glimmer of hope in his desperate heart.
"However, if anyone really knows how to solve the ice problem caused by Xue Ruyi, then this person is only Mr. Yin from Yujian Villa."
"As we all know, this Second Master Yin is a strange man!" Guo Zhu sighed.
Tong Bo smiled bitterly, "Brother Guo, you are just teasing me. Even if Master Yin knew how to solve the problem of ice, he would not tell me."
"Oh? Are you talking about the grudge between you and Yujian Villa? Or about Yin Zhong imprisoning your brother? Or about the fact that he wanted you? Or about the time you injured his pet...the big python? ?" Guo Zhu asked doubtfully.
"All of them." Tong Bo sighed: "I don't think he is a good person."
"Ha!" Guo Zhu chuckled, "It feels weird coming from your calm Tong Bo mouth like he doesn't sound like a good person."
Guo Zhu calmed down, stared at Tong Bo, and said in a low tone: "Long Bo, don't forget your mission! Even if he is not a good person, now you have to make compromises with him for the sake of Shuiyuedongtian. This is what you have to bear. dark!"
"Even if it means seeking skin from a tiger, you have to do it! This is the only way to go now."
"Do you understand?"
Tong Bo looked at Guo Zhu's deep pupils, like a bottomless pool, cold! dark!
It seems to be able to swallow all warmth and light.
Tong Bo felt a chill for no reason, and after the chill, he felt pity for Guo Zhu.
He couldn't imagine what Guo Zhu had gone through to have such a chilling aura on his body.
"I've been taught a lesson," Tong Bo said in a hoarse voice.
The chill dissipated without a trace in an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.
"If there is a grudge, just resolve it. If it cannot be resolved, I will think of other ways." Guo Zhu said calmly.
"You said that if you become in-laws with Yujian Villa, will they help solve the problem of the ice in Shuiyue Cave?"
"In-laws?" Tong Bo murmured to himself.
"The news coming out of Yujian Villa is that people are breaking into Yujian Villa at night every day these days..."
