Looking at the messy cups and plates in front of them, a few people were chatting a lot, and the sky outside became darker in the blink of an eye. When Jia Lihu saw the darkness in the house, he wanted to get an oil lamp to add light.
But as soon as Lao Jia stood up, Huang You winked at Jin Tijiang, who nodded and stood up.
"Old Jia, don't bother. We still have things to do, so we won't bother you here today." Huang You pointed to the distance and said.
"It's getting so late. If you two want to leave the city, it might be a little inconvenient... How about..." Jia Lihu glanced at the two of them and nodded.
"Don't worry, Old Jia, we have a solution!" Huang You smiled and gave Jia Orion a reassuring look.
"Okay! It seems that you two are indeed in an emergency. In this case... I won't hold you back anymore. If you have free time in the future, you can come here often." Jia Lihu hugged his fists and walked out with the two of them.
When passing the hounds on the road, they seemed to be reluctant to leave. They even rubbed themselves on Jin Tiaojiang's legs, and then watched until Jin Tiaojiang walked out of the courtyard before lying down again.
After bidding farewell to Jia Lihu, Jin Tijiang followed Huang You and walked forward along the road.
It was now the time of confinement, and there was only a gap left in the gate of the outer city. No one could get in or out. Seeing that the gate was heavily guarded, Jin Tiaojiang was about to speak when he saw that Huang You was not here, but was leading him towards Turn aside.
The two of them turned sideways along the road and finally stopped at a corner of the city wall. However, the sky was not completely dark at this time. If they stood here in the bright light, it would be suspicious. The two of them walked around in the opposite direction for a while, and finally sat down. In front of a shop that is about to close.
Seeing that there were still customers at this time, the shop wanted to drive them away, but when they saw that although they were plainly dressed, they looked extraordinary, especially the few grains of silver on their tables, which were even more shining, so they quickly burned them. Hot tea is served in person.
Jin Tiaojiang was no stranger to the structure of Yangdu City. From the moment he turned the corner, he guessed that Huang You was going to browse out from this corner, and the subsequent route was just as he had guessed.
After all the encounters these days, Jin Tiaojiang also felt the wonderful use of money. Sure enough, with the help of broken silver, the waiter was too sensible to bother him. He just warmed the tea stove and went back to the counter to take a rest.
Now that it was quiet again, Jin Tiaojiang suddenly felt that the familiar Yangdu City in front of him was strange, and he secretly wondered whether he should make any changes to change this situation.
But just when he was thinking wildly, he suddenly noticed something, and asked Huang You to wait here, then hurriedly got up and left.
Huang You was waiting for the sky to darken. He just heard Jin Tiaojiang's words and before he could reply, the latter disappeared. He also had a baffled look on his face. But he didn't wait long before he saw Jin Tiaojiang hurried back with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Huang You, what do you think this is?" Jin Diaojiang walked to Huang You and sat down again, eagerly handing out the things behind his back.
"Huh?" Huang You turned around and looked happy, saying, "You are indeed my good brother! How...how do you know that I am talking about this?"
Huang You took the thing from Jin Tiaojiang's hand and saw that it was the snack toy that he had broken into pieces by the street vendor who turned into a black-haired monster. And it was much more than that. There were also some children's clothes and a long Fate thread.
Huang You came to Yangdu City this time to buy some children's supplies, but after searching for them, he could only find some toys, so he replenished some snacks and prepared to go back to comfort and please, so as not to be scolded by his wife. Unexpectedly, Jin Tiaojiang just disappeared for a moment, and then he bought all the things that he couldn't find after struggling for a long time.
"Thank you, dear brother. Now I can finally go back to work with peace of mind!" Huang You was very satisfied with these things. He quickly wrapped them up carefully, and then said to Jin Tiojiang: "Brother, dear brother! Let's keep these things in Brother Yu's account for the time being. Come on, wait until Brother Yu has some free time in the future, and then go to the Jinpeng Clan to return the favor!"
Originally, he was planning to come back again after helping Jin Tongjiang this time, but now it seems that he no longer has to worry about such trouble. In this case, he wanted to return the money that Jin Tiaojiang lent him before, but before he could reach out to withdraw the money, he was stopped by Jin Tiaojiang.
"Brother Huang You, you don't have to be polite, just think of these as a meeting gift in advance for my nephew who hasn't met yet!" Jin Tiaojiang said with a smile.
"Brother Xian has put so much effort into it, but Brother Yu can't refuse... It's just..." Huang You suddenly looked at Jin Tiaojiang with burning eyes, "I just don't know when you and that girl will be able to have a happy event? It will also help my son grow up. Have company."
Jin Tiaojiang thought that Huang You was going to say something important, and his face turned red when he heard this: "Brother Huang You, what are you talking about? Miss Shuyu is my benefactor after all, how could I do such a thing?" thing…"
"Really?" Huang You laughed when he heard this, "You said this yourself, I didn't say which girl it was."
"..." Jin Tiaojiang knew that he had made a mistake, so he simply turned away and ignored the man's laughter, but he felt in a trance in his heart. Why did his heart always clash violently every time he mentioned this name? Maybe it was because he had the blood of the black magic fish in his body.
…
Among the Black Peng tribe, Black Magic Fish suddenly felt uneasy physically and mentally, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to check. She remembered that it had not been long since the last time she dealt with the blood poison, so there were faint signs of attack again this time.
She filtered the concoction on the stove and waited until some of the heat had dissipated before pouring it into her mouth. Although the concoction was thick and bitter in the mouth, the effect was obvious. It didn't take long for the blood poison on her arm to dim, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because of smelling this strange smell, a figure suddenly hurried over from a distance outside the door, calling softly and tentatively: "Miss Shuyu, how are you?"
"The thing is just burnt, it's okay."
Black Magic Fish frowned when he heard this and quickly covered the lid. Although Heishuyu didn't know where Heixue got this strange medicine, the latter told her not to let outsiders know. So although she was curious, she thought that Heixue would not frame her, so she hid it.
"Oh... then I'll leave. If anything happens, miss, please feel free to ask me." The visitor nodded after hearing this and stepped back.
"Ayu!"
"Miss, please speak."
"Aunt Xue...have you seen Aunt Xue recently?" The poisonous blood attacks are becoming more and more frequent. If this continues, the elixir for boiling the juice must be somewhat insufficient. The black magic fish has not been seen for several days. Aunt Xue also asked hurriedly.
"A'yu hasn't seen Elder Xue for some time." Ruoyu thought for a moment before answering. He remembered that since Mr. Wildcat left the confinement room that day, Elder Xue also disappeared. However, Ruoyu didn't think much about it at the time, and he didn't react until Black Magic Fish asked about it now.
"I know..." Black Magic Fish muttered to himself and fell silent, and then there was no response.
…
Outside Yangdu City, Jin Caojiang followed Huang You as he traveled southeast until he came to an uninhabited forest. Only the occasional rubbing of branches from all around was left, which made people feel a chill down their backs. If Jin Tijiang hadn't become familiar with Huang You, he would have even suspected that the person leading the way was trying to find a place to bury him for his own money-killing.
Huang You walked forward without saying a word. In the end, Jin Tijiang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Huang You...how far do we have to go?"
Huang You was stunned when he heard this, and quickly looked around, and then suddenly stopped: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now, it should be around here."
Jin Tiaojiang looked at the dark dense forest around him, and could only occasionally see some pale moonlight falling from the gaps. But before the light could touch the ground, the secret room was already in the grass. Not to mention the figures of people, even Not even a ghost.
"Here? But..." Jin Tiaojiang looked around, then subconsciously looked up at the tree, but found nothing, which was a bit puzzling.
"My old routine is reversed. He usually moves at sunset and rests at sunrise... Moreover, he has a withdrawn temperament and always likes to find some uninhabited places to hide. I remember that he seemed to be nearby when I caught him last time... If If nothing else, he should still be around here, right?"
"Last time?" Jin Tiaojiang grinned when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "When was the last time?"
"I can't remember clearly, it's been some years anyway..." After Huang You finished speaking, when he saw Jin Tiaojiang's expression suddenly turned ugly, he quickly explained: "Don't worry, this guy is as timid as a mouse. If he doesn't encounter any accidents, The situation is such that we will never move easily in a short period of time!”
"Okay..." Anyway, now that the matter is over, Jin Tiaojiang can only believe it, hoping that Huang You's guess is correct.
Huang You looked around for a week, and there was indeed no trace of someone living there. He scratched his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "That's strange. Did this guy really escape?"
Then he led Jin Tijiang around the forest, but except for the footsteps of the two of them, there was no third sound in the forest, which made Huang You gradually become anxious.
But just when he was about to give up and leave, his eyes suddenly moved and he asked Jin Tongjiang in a low voice: "Brother Xian...Brother Yu, I want to ask you, have we ever walked this route just now?"
Hearing this, Jin Tiaojiang looked at the direction, shook his head and said, "We have always been going around here and never walked through the forest."
Speaking of this, Jin Tiaojiang suddenly felt something was wrong and leaned over to take a closer look. Although the light above his head is very dim, he can still see the footsteps here very clearly, and he should have been left there not long ago.
From this, it seemed that someone might have been following them, and Jin Tiaojiang immediately became alert.
But just as he was thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but suddenly remember what Huang You said just now, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but look at Huang You with a suspicious look on his face: "Brother Huang You, if I heard you right, you What you just said was to catch him? Is there anything you can’t do to celebrate?”
"Oh? Did I say that?" Huang You covered his mouth after hearing this, and then smiled sheepishly: "Where is the festival? It's just a misunderstanding..."
