In the bamboo building, Xu Huaigu sat cross-legged on the ground, with a long sword flat on his knees. This is the immortal weapon that Xie Qingyun gave him as an external sword - Zhan Jiao.
He closed his eyes tightly, his face as calm as water. He originally wanted to spend his time in the past and present through practice, but no matter what, he could never calm down.
The Bamboo House was exceptionally clean today. Apart from him, only Fan Xuan was left practicing drawing talismans in the next room.
The small chessboard was placed on the first floor. It had not been idle in the past few days, and there were often people playing chess. Today, it was finally found empty. The black and white chess pieces were placed safely on both sides of the chessboard, and there was no one around. move.
Purity is pure, but a little less angry.
Xu Huaigu sighed, opened his eyes, and looked out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun filtered into the building, and it was almost dark.
He stood up slowly and walked around the bamboo house. When he found that Yu Qin hadn't come back yet, his feeling of uneasiness became more serious. But he was embarrassed to look for her. After all, he drove away Ruyu himself. She left the bamboo house in anger, and Xu Huaigu didn't know what to say to persuade her.
Could it be that I really did something wrong?
According to his thinking at the time, in fact, as long as Ruyu was willing to kneel in front of the bamboo building for a while longer, and as long as he knelt until night, he planned to give him a chance. However, he and Chen Qi left at noon. Even though Xu Huaigu felt reluctant to leave, he had no reason to keep him.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished. What does it mean to just kneel in front of a bamboo building for a long time?
You must know that when he accepted Gu Sanyue as his disciple, it was because she had practiced hard for several months and punched a million punches. Now, with his physique as a great demon in the ninth realm, what does it mean to kneel down for a long time?
Thinking of this, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but frown. If he really left like this, it can only be said that the two of them were destined to each other, and it would be no pity.
Xu Huaigu was about to go upstairs, but saw Fan Xuan walking downstairs. He was not in the mood to chat at this time and walked upstairs with a cold face. Fan Xuan saw that his face was unhappy and she did not dare to say anything.
There were footsteps at the door, and Xu Huaigu suddenly turned his head to look at the door.
Probably Yu Qin is back. Regardless, even if Ruyu leaves, she will always stand with him. The road ahead is still the same as before, and it’s good to go alone.
However, the footsteps at the door were very confusing, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
Fan Xuan turned her head and looked at Xu Huaigu. Seeing his anxious eyes looking at the door, she knew that he must be anxious too. She immediately took a few steps forward and stood behind the door, ready to open the door.
So as soon as the knock on the door rang, the door of the bamboo house opened with a "squeak", so fast that the little girl who knocked on the door thought that the door was just ajar, and it opened directly after she knocked so hard.
It was Chen Qi who knocked on the door, and the one who opened the door was the sister of Zixia Sect. She had just learned from Liu Waner and Yu Qin that her name was Fan Xuan.
"Sister Fan!" Chen Qi stood outside the door, anxiously looking into the bamboo building, "Is Mr. Xu still there?"
Fan Xuan looked outside and saw that the door of the bamboo building was full of people, and it was very lively.
In addition to Chen Qi, there were also Yu Qin and Liu Waner, two strangers. Ruyu stood to the side with her head down, not daring to look up.
Fan Xuan didn't know how to answer, so she looked inside the bamboo building, as if asking Xu Huaigu's opinion. Xu Huaigu stood on the steps. Seeing this scene, he stopped going upstairs and just looked at the door.
Chen Qi had sharp eyes and saw him at a glance. She was afraid that Fan Xuan would close the door, so she hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Xu, look, we brought those two people here! Please deal with it, Mr. Xu!"
When the two people heard this, it seemed as if the escorting journey was over. Now they had arrived at the execution ground, and they couldn't help but tremble.
The Mr. Xu in their mouths didn't know how sacred he was. They just felt like the king of hell who wanted to take over life and death, and was about to cross out their names from the book of life and death in a moment. The two broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that the two of them were so afraid, Liu Waner said coldly: "Now that you are afraid, what have you done? You don't know if you dare to do anything?"
"Yes, yes, what the Immortal Chief said is that the little ones are confused and will never dare to do it again in the future! There are a lot of Immortal Chiefs, please give us a chance to change our ways!"
Fan Xuan was still looking at Xu Huaigu, relying on his opinion to decide whether she should let them in or keep the door closed.
Xu Huaigu hesitated for a moment and glanced outside the bamboo building. He happened to meet Yu Qin's aggrieved eyes, and his heart seemed to soften instantly. Looking at Liu Waner again, she also shook her head slightly at him. Chen Qi opened her big watery eyes and looked at him expectantly, while Ruyu buried her head and remained silent.
It all started because of an accident.
Xu Huaigu sighed secretly in his heart and stopped going upstairs, but walked towards the door.
When everyone saw him coming, they all thought that there might be room for change in this matter. Fan Xuan opened the door completely, and Chen Qi hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu!"
Xu Huaigu nodded towards her, then glanced at the two gangsters who were being escorted up the mountain, and slowly said, "Chen Qi, if you have anything to say to me, I'll listen."
"Okay, sir!" Chen Qi heard what Xu Huaigu said and hurriedly said what he had prepared, "These two are the ones who want to kidnap me and Ruyu. They also have an accomplice who is dead. . After they heard that we were from Qingfeng Valley, I originally planned not to care if they let us go, but instead they became murderous because of fear. Ruyu had no choice but to do so, otherwise it would be us two who would die. Yes. Sir, you don’t want to see this either, right?”
Xu Huaigu looked at the two people seriously and asked, "Is what she said the truth?"
The two people hurriedly said: "What the little immortal said is right. It's the little ones who have lost their minds and want to take advantage of the immortals! Damn it!"
Xu Huaigu saw that the two of them were frightened, and he was afraid that what he said might not be the truth. He frowned and said solemnly: "If there is anything hidden, tell me the truth and I will make my own decision."
From Xu Huaigu's tone, it seemed like he was speaking for them? The two men looked at each other, somewhat confused.
"I'm not taking sides, but I want to know the truth."
Chen Qi was anxious and said hurriedly: "Sir, everything I said is the truth!"
Yu Qin pulled her and advised: "Right and wrong have their own justice."
Xu Huaigu looked at the two men seriously and said, "You'd better tell the truth to me, otherwise you'll think about your accomplices."
The two people originally wanted to make a few quibbles, but after meeting the young man's cold gaze, they seemed to be discouraged. They cowered for a moment and only dared to say: "You guys don't dare to lie. What the little immortal said is true." It’s all the truth.”
Xu Huaigu nodded, looked at Ruyu again, and asked, "You only had to break away from the rope, so why did you hurt someone?"
Ruyu swallowed her saliva and remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Qi hurriedly patted him and said, "Speak! Your husband is asking you something! Just tell the truth."
Ruyu still didn't speak.
Yu Qin touched his head and advised: "If you have anything to say, just tell your husband directly."
Ruyu hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to raise her head, and hesitated: "I don't know. I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't expect that the person would die like that with just a slight push."
Xu Huaigu's face was expressionless.
Seeing that Xu Huaigu didn't speak, he was panicked. After a while, he said dejectedly: "I know this is not a reason."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment. Now it seems that not only is Xu Huaigu relenting, but Ruyu herself is also doubtful about her behavior.
It is easy to talk about people's hearts, but it is difficult to talk about one's own heart.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Qi felt anxious. She thought of what Liu Waner had told her. She rolled her eyes and said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu, the dead man was called Chen Er. He has bought a coffin and is preparing to be buried. He has a blind old mother in his family. , Ruyu and I have also instructed these two people to treat her as our mother from now on, and to take care of her in her old age. I wonder if you are satisfied with this treatment?"
Xu Huaigu looked at Chen Qi and raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, these two children not only led the person up the mountain, but also thought of how to deal with the matter.
Many things in the world are accidents, and some are a series of accidents. Accidents are inevitable. Since they are bound to happen and cannot be controlled by human power, the only thing we can do is deal with the consequences as much as possible.
Try your best to minimize the harm of accidents. This is what human beings can do. Just two children, I am afraid they have not thought of these principles, but they can also do practical things, which is really valuable.
Liu Waner looked at Xu Huaigu's expression, and a smile appeared on her lips. Sure enough, she still understood him.
Xu Huaigu hesitated for a long time, then looked at Yu Qin again, only to see her pained and tangled expression, and felt another stab in his heart.
Everyone at the door wanted to plead for Ruyu. The current situation has been overwhelmingly in Ruyu's favor, and he can't help but let go.
Xu Huaigu relaxed his brows, sighed softly, and asked: "According to the laws of Yamato, how should these two people be dealt with?"
Liu Wan'er replied: "Kidnapping children for extortion is considered a kidnapping. Depending on the circumstances, he will be imprisoned for ten years or more. If he has the intention to hurt people's lives, he can be sentenced to death."
The word "wenzhan" was like thunder in the ears of those two people. Their faces were ashen and they didn't even dare to say a word.
"There's no need to ask for help. We can't wait until that time." When Xu Huaigu said this, he felt very uncomfortable.
The demon clan will attack soon. Why should I kill them or not? What's the difference? So he waved his hand and sighed: "Chen Qi and Ruyu handled this matter very well, just do as they say."
Chen Qi was the most anxious of all, and asked quickly: "Mr. Xu, what about Ruyu? Does Ruyu still want to leave?"
Xu Huaigu neither nodded nor shook his head.
Yu Qin naturally knew Xu Huaigu's temper and gave in without saying a word. She held Ruyu's hand and walked into the bamboo house. She smiled at him and said, "Ruyu, go inside with your sister."
Ruyu boldly looked up at Xu Huaigu and Nuonuo said, "Mr."
Xu Huaigu nodded slightly but said nothing.
"Let's go in with my sister."
Yu Qin brought Ruyu into the house.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qi smiled from ear to ear. She looked at Liu Waner and smiled gratefully: "Sister Liu, it's all thanks to you."
Liu Waner smiled at her but said nothing.
Xu Huaigu seemed to have some mystery when he heard what the two said. He glanced at Liu Waner and didn't ask any more questions.
Liu Waner smiled at him openly, without any intention of covering up.
Xu Huaigu had already guessed that if the two children could handle things so perfectly, there must be someone behind them.
Liu Waner just smiled and said: "Are you going to let these two people go down the mountain like this? They are scared now, so naturally they have to agree well. If they are not controlled, who knows what will happen after they go down the mountain?"
"Then what should we do according to what you said?"
"Why don't we let Ruyu and Chen Qi escort the people down the mountain, and then come back up the mountain after handling the follow-up matters. Since they are the ones who untie the bells and tie the bells, it can also be regarded as giving the two children a lot of experience, wouldn't it be good?"
Xu Huaigu nodded and said: "That makes sense, that's exactly how it should be."
Chen Qi also smiled and said: "That's great, I also want to go down the mountain to play for a while!"
Liu Waner touched her head and said with a smile: "Are you thinking of playing again now? I saw you crying like that in front of me before, but you didn't have the intention to play."
Chen Qi smiled sheepishly.
Xu Huaigu glanced at Liu Waner with a complicated expression and simply said, "Thank you."
Liu Waner just smiled and nodded.
