"Crow Zui, if you say it's nothing good, then it must be nothing good." I put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up to greet him.
"Uncle, have you eaten? Let's eat some together." I turned sideways and motioned for Qiu Sheng to come in.
"After eating, I came to see you for something." Qiu Sheng smiled and said hello to the people in the room.
"I've guessed it a long time ago." Heizi's voice came.
"Take a step to talk." Qiu Sheng pulled me out of the door with a solemn expression. It looked like it was no small matter.
"What's wrong? Uncle Qiu, if you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here." I didn't dare to joke anymore.
"Two of my men are missing." Qiu Sheng raised his head and looked at me with a sad expression.
"Missing? Where?" I was surprised when I heard this.
"Hungry Wolf Valley." Qiu Sheng said and sighed.
Hungry Wolf Valley is not a good place. It is close to the border and the terrain is complex. Not only are there many evil spirits, but some lawless people also often operate there.
"Why did you go there?" When I heard the name of the place, I finally understood why Qiu Sheng was nervous.
"There are some cases that need to be handled on the border. My jurisdiction is relatively close..." Qiu Sheng did not say any more.
The Hungry Wolf Valley is said to be relatively close to our county seat, but it is still more than 200 kilometers away, and there is basically virgin forest in the middle. It is said that there are only two villages, and they are also inhabited by some ethnic minorities who do not care about the world.
"But why are you looking for me?" I didn't want to refuse, but this didn't necessarily involve evil spirits.
"Yesterday I also received news from their satellite phone. If it was man-made, I would definitely not look for you, but they mean they encountered evil spirits." Qiu Sheng turned around and saw no one, and said in a low voice.
I have basically met all the people under Qiu Sheng, and the evil things are considered an open secret, and everyone knows it.
"No other valuable information?" I looked at Qiu Sheng with some fear.
"No, I only know the location where they last lost contact. This is the map." Qiu Sheng said, taking out a map and handing it over.
Finding people is Dahei's strength, but Dahei's current state is not suitable for working outside at all.
I wanted to refuse, but looking at Qiu Sheng's helpless eyes, I couldn't bear it.
"Uncle, I can't guarantee..." Before I could finish speaking, Qiu Sheng raised his hand to interrupt me.
"I know, I've also heard about Dahei's situation, and I'm prepared for the worst." Qiu Sheng said in a heavy tone.
"I'll do my best." I said and took the map.
"You come to my unit tomorrow morning." Qiu Sheng left these words and left.
But I stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Eat first. If you want anything, we'll talk about it after dinner." Zhou Jiaonan stood behind me at some point.
"Okay." I suddenly came back to my senses, smiled and nodded.
After all, today is our first meal together.
As we drank wine, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Qiu Sheng's visit to me. Even Dahei took the initiative to come to our side. Heizi naughtily gave Dahei a sip of wine, which made Dahei shake his head.
After dinner, Dahei and I sat on the steps in front of the store again. The lights had been turned off on the street and it was pitch black.
"Here..." Heizi lit a cigarette and handed it to me.
He just sat next to me and did not take the initiative to ask me why Qiu Sheng came to me.
"Heizi, it's probably just the two of us who will take action this time." I took a puff of my cigarette and smiled, but I didn't look at Heizi.
"It's not just the two of us." Heizi also smiled.
"Wow..." Dahei was unhappy.
"Don't worry, we will go see your wife when we come back." I touched Dahei and kissed his forehead.
"Master, you still have me." Wei Yucheng's voice suddenly sounded.
"Ms. sir, I'll accompany you." Gu Rou also sat next to Heizi.
"Have you decided in private that you don't want me to go?" Zhou Jiaonan said and lightly kicked me in the back.
"Dahei needs someone to take care of him." I turned my head and looked at her pitifully.
"Shameless, you saw my weakness, it's not fair." Zhou Jiaonan was so angry that she stamped her feet on her hips. I was used to seeing her aggressive, but at this moment I actually thought she was cute.
"Why are you looking at me like this..." Noticing the fiery look in my eyes, Zhou Jiaonan blushed and turned away.
"Dahei and the store will be left to you. Your current identity is the master's only female disciple." Actually, I don't know how many disciples the master has. I just said this to increase Zhou Jiaonan's sense of responsibility.
"I know, is this thing dangerous?" Zhou Jiaonan put away his anger and put on a gentle face.
"What time did we do anything that wasn't dangerous?" Heizi took over the topic with a smile.
"You have to fight with me, right?" Zhou Jiaonan pointed the finger at Heizi.
"You little junior sister, no matter how old you are, your senior brother can't even say a few words?" Heizi stood up with the strength of his drink.
"Senior brother, isn't he amazing? If you don't accept it, let's compete." Zhou Jiaonan said and turned around and entered the room.
This girl actually took out the Purple Star Sword given to her by Master Fang.
Heizi was stunned, then gritted his teeth and went into the house and took out his bronze sword.
"You two are back to having fun, but don't hurt your harmony." I persuaded, but my body was far away.
"What if you lose?" Zhou Jiaonan walked down the steps and stood in the open space outside the store.
"Then what if you lose?" Heizi walked down holding the bronze sword unconvinced.
"After I lose, I will recognize you as my senior brother." Zhou Jiaonan said, putting on a posture, and it really looked like that.
"If I lose, I'll let you be my senior sister." Heizi also spoke wildly, and now he was in for a good show.
"Sit down..." I quickly asked two ghosts and one dog to sit on the steps with me.
"Okay, it's a deal." Zhou Jiaonan smiled and nodded.
Then they both turned to look at me.
"Ready, start." I ordered with a smile.
Heizi was always on the offensive side, so he rushed towards Zhou Jiaonan with his sword in hand.
To be honest, I have never seen Zhou Jiaonan do anything. Although I heard that she is a provincial Sanda champion, the two of them are now competing with swords.
However, Zhou Jiaonan deftly avoided Heizi's confident blow. Heizi threw himself into the air and lost his balance, rushing forward several steps.
Zhou Jiaonan stood there without attacking. Heizi turned around and hesitated for a moment, but still raised his sword and attacked again.
Heizi and I learned the true story of Master Fang on the mountain. Although the person who accompanied us in sword practice was a young Taoist boy, Heizi and I had extraordinary sword-wielding abilities.
In addition, in dealing with evil spirits these days, our reaction speed and physical fitness are far superior to ordinary people.
But now that Heizi is competing with Zhou Jiaonan, it gives me the illusion that Zhou Jiaonan is giving way to him.
"What do you think?" I turned to look at Wei Yucheng.
"It's hard to say, the second master will probably become the third master." Wei Yucheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gu Rou didn't speak or look at us. She just clasped her hands and stared at Heizi intently, her eyes full of nervousness.
"Take action." Heizi gasped and shouted without actually fighting after beating him.
"Okay." Zhou Jiaonan smiled and took action.
It seems that we have really underestimated this girl's strength. We don't know whether it is because the sword is too bright or the moonlight is very good today. The purple star sword seems to be dancing in her hand.
Heizi finally realized the problem and quickly became serious.
For a while, the "ding-dong" sound of the two swords crossing each other was heard endlessly, and we watched it and cheered repeatedly.
There was no one on the street this night. If it had been during the day, the area would have been crowded with theatergoers.
In terms of strength, Zhou Jiaonan has always been lacking, but in terms of dexterity and mastery of swordsmanship, Zhou Jiaonan is obviously better.
We don’t know how many things this girl is hiding from us.
The sword shadow is cold, you come and I go, the two have been fighting for several rounds.
Seeing that Heizi had the upper hand, Heizi noticed it himself and immediately raised his sword to subdue Zhou Jiaonan.
Zhou Jiaonan took a few steps back suddenly, and even I became a little nervous, because it looked like she was about to fall.
But at the moment Heizi raised his sword with a smile, Zhou Jiaonan suddenly stabilized his figure and sent out the sword sideways.
Kuroko's sword stopped in mid-air, his eyes full of confusion and annoyance.
Zhou Jiaonan's sword was placed on Heizi's neck at this moment. The winner or loser was already clear.
"You lost." Zhou Jiaonan said with a smile.
"You're cheating." Heizi was obviously unconvinced.
"A soldier never tires of deceit. If you lose, you lose. You are a grown man, so don't be a swindler." Zhou Jiaonan smiled and sheathed his sword.
