Yu Jiuxu's eyebrows jumped slightly, and she turned to look at Qin Yinyin. Sure enough, her anger, which had just subsided, seemed to suddenly surge up again, and she said angrily: "Say it again!"
The old man was so frightened that his expression immediately changed. Yu Jiuxu sat aside and sighed helplessly for the third time. The noise was really making his head hurt.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "When are we going to Tianshan?" Xu Shi just regained consciousness, and her voice sounded a little hoarse.
Hearing this, Qin Yinyin was startled, and subconsciously turned to look at Qin Zixuan. The two looked at each other, and when they exchanged glances, they both seemed to be hesitant and hesitant.
After a brief silence, Qin Yinyin thought for a moment and said: "It's not far from Tianshan Mountain. We can set off at dawn."
That's it...
Yu Jiuxu tightened her cloak tightly again, responded softly "Oh", hugged her knees with both hands, and said nothing more.
At this time, Qin Yinyin looked at her, but there was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes. She seemed to want to say something, but after several attempts to speak, Qin Zixuan still chose not to say anything while shaking his head calmly.
After sitting for a while, looking at Yu Jiuxu who was sleeping against the tree, Qin Yinyin just took a nap for a while. When she opened her eyes, Qin Zixuan was missing. After thinking for a moment, she decided to get up and look for it. She couldn't fall asleep anyway.
While thinking, she gradually walked away, and finally found Qin Zixuan on the other side of the forest, who was drinking in front of the moon on the tree. As if he had noticed something, Qin Zixuan slowly lowered his eyes and met Qin Yinyin's eyes for a moment.
Qin Yinyan sighed heavily, leaned under the tree, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said worriedly: "Are you really not going to tell her?"
"..." When she finished speaking, she was greeted with a brief silence, and then she heard Qin Zixuan say: "Otherwise, what's the use of telling her? If I really tell her, what if she goes back? If she really wants to If you go back, that’s trouble."
Hearing this, Qin Yinyin didn't say anything more, just sighed again, leaned against the tree, and looked down at his toes.
At this time, in a dark place where the two of them could not see.
Yu Jiuxu hid behind the big tree, but could completely hide her figure. Listening to the conversation between the two of them, which seemed to be deliberately making riddles, she felt inexplicably angry and had a bad premonition.
Taking one last look at the two people not far behind him, Yu Jiuxu tightened his cloak tightly, turned away cautiously, and returned to the original fire, pretending as if nothing had happened...
A trace of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the fire beside him was burned down to only a pile of black coals, with steam and sparks still rising.
Qin Yinyin and Qin Zixuan also rushed back before dawn, pretending to be nonchalant and packing their things. Only then did Qin Yinyin walk to Yu Jiuxu's side and gently stepped back from Yu Jiuxu's shoulders, who had his eyes closed.
Yu Jiuxu slowly opened his eyes, not as if he had just woken up, but Qin Yinyin did not notice it, and only said: "You rest for a while, and we will leave in a while. We can reach Tianshan Mountain today."
After that, she got up and left, probably to check if anything had been left behind.
Yu Jiuxu looked at her back and suddenly said: "I want to go to the small town first."
As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Yinyin, but also the old man and Qin Zixuan were startled at the same time. The old man was picking up the pipe in his hand with a wooden stick. After listening to Yu Jiuxu's words, he raised his eyes and looked at her with some doubts in his eyes.
"Girl," he asked after a moment of silence, "What are we going to do in the town? We don't go into the town and take the mountain road. We can get there at noon today. Why waste all that time?"
"..." Yu Jiuxu looked at him. After another brief silence, she continued: "There must be a town nearby. I want to go to the town first. Otherwise, I won't go to Tianshan Mountain with you."
That's how she is, she says whatever she thinks. If she doesn't go to Tianshan with them, of course she has something to do.
Qin Zixuan sat aside, his eyes slightly cold, "What? Threatening us?"
Yu Jiuxu turned around, looked at him, and said nothing again. His eyes were stubborn, with a kind of non-negotiable firmness, as if to say, "I don't care, you can make up your own mind."
In the end, Qin Yinyin had no choice but to come out to smooth things over: "Okay, isn't it just a trip to the town? It won't take long. At worst, we will go back later."
Qin Zixuan didn't speak, just snorted in displeasure, stood up and strode forward. The old man also put away his tobacco bag and left on crutches.
"Let's go, little ancestor." Qin Yin Yin sighed helplessly and waved to her.
Only then did Yu Jiuxu stand up from the ground and follow them away.
She must go to a place with people, and a place with many people. Her intuition told her that the so-called "don't tell her" she heard last night must have something to do with her.
But as for what it was, they said it was secret because they didn't want her to know. If she asked directly, not only would she not get an answer, but it would also easily make them defensive.
In fact, Yu Jiuxu could guess 40-50% of some things without them having to tell them. Apart from Su Luochen and Guan Yubai, there should be no one else related to her.
As far as she was concerned, the only person she cared about now was Su Luochen, so the thing they said they didn't tell her might be about Su Luochen, or it was about herself.
If it is really about Su Luochen, based on Su Luochen's identity and status, it is absolutely impossible for no one else to know about it, and it is absolutely impossible for it not to become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.
Therefore, she could only hear something if she went to a crowded place. Of course, she also hoped that all this was just her imagination. She wanted nothing to happen to Su Luochen more than anyone else.
I followed a few people to a nearby town. Everything looked the same. People were coming and going on the streets, which was quite lively.
Yu Jiuxu walked among a few people, looking around. Before entering the town, several people put on rough clothes, which didn't look eye-catching.
"If you want to stay for a few days before leaving, we can find an inn." Qin Zixuan suggested, without any abnormality in his words.
Yu Jiuxu just looked at him and then said: "No, just have a meal and leave."
She didn't say anything else. Qin Zixuan and Qin Yinyin looked at each other and did not alarm the snake, allowing Yu Jiuxu to choose a restaurant that looked quite luxurious.
Seeing the money bag being emptied, Qin Zixuan looked sad and full of resentment, but Yu Jiuxu ignored him, pretended not to notice, and walked straight into the restaurant.
In the restaurant, there were bustling crowds sitting on the first floor, drinking tea, some tasting wine, and asking for plates and side dishes. They were not as wealthy as the guests on the second floor, but they were still leisurely enough.
In the middle of the restaurant, there is a stand, parallel to the second floor. On the stand, there is an old man with gray hair sitting in a long gown and holding a folding fan. He should be a storyteller.
In fact, the purpose of these drinkers coming here is not just to eat, but more likely to listen to books.
Stepping into the restaurant, the surroundings were noisy. The first floor was almost crowded with people. As if he noticed something, Qin Yinyan grabbed Yu Jiuxu, who had already stepped up the stairs with one foot: "Let's change places."
Yu Jiuxu stopped and looked back at her with some confusion. She was silent, her eyes a little dodgeful, and just explained: "It's too noisy here. I'm afraid you are not used to it and it is not suitable for eating."
Yu Jiuxu looked at her, but his eyes were surprisingly calm. She gently broke away from Qin Yinyin's hand and said in a calm tone: "It doesn't matter, I just like the excitement."
With that said, she walked straight up to the second floor.
Qin Yinyin was silent, standing downstairs, looking at Yu Jiuxu's back, inexplicable sadness creeping into her heart. She turned her head and glanced at Qin Zixuan, and then at the gentleman sitting on the high platform, preparing to tell a story.
