"Sister, you said you dreamed of a mother-in-law wearing a copper mask?"
"Yes, I dreamed that she was standing in your position, pointing to the pile of firewood and hay with one hand..."
"Then you woke up with a fright..."
"Well, I'm still a little scared now..."
"Besides this weird mother-in-law, what else did you dream about?"
Zheng Miao continued to ask about the content of the dream with a curious look on her face.
Su Qiqi didn't seem to hear it, staring blankly at the piles of messy firewood in front of her with a gloomy expression.
After a while, she seemed too tired, and leaned against the wall limply, entering a state of meditation with her eyes closed.
Zheng Miao stopped disturbing her and rested quietly against the wall to recover her strength.
After a while, Su Qiqi woke up again, and she gently touched Zheng Miao's shoulder with her elbow. Zheng Miao opened her eyes in a daze and asked confusedly: "Sister, is it dawn?"
Su Qiqi shook her head and pursed her lips in the direction of the haystack.
Zheng Miao suddenly realized: "You mean to search over there and see if you find anything?"
Su Qiqi nodded and slowly moved to the haystacks. The two of them bumped into a few haystacks with their elbows and found a square hole in the wall with a dusty book on it.
The two of them looked at it intently and saw the six characters "Ancient Medical Meridians and Acupuncture Points" written in elegant cursive on the cover. "We found a treasure, Miaomiao, put it away quickly, it will be of great use in the future!"
Zheng Miao nodded happily. Su Qiqi leaned forward and used her hands to help her open the armhole. She bit the corner of the book with her teeth and slowly put it into her sleeve.
After doing this, the two of them were exhausted and rested against the wall again.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu... Gu Gu Gu..."
The sound outside the woodshed startled Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao, who were sleeping lightly. They listened attentively for a while. Zheng Miao looked at Su Qiqi with confusion on her face and said, "The rooster's crow is so strange... Why does it sound a bit like my brother's voice..." Su Qiqi followed the direction of the sound and saw only the small sealed window. I don't know when it opened again, and a handsome face suddenly appeared in the window.
"Brother! It's really you!" Zheng Miao exclaimed in surprise. Stand up from the ground and prepare to jump towards the window step by step.
The corners of Su Qiqi's mouth also raised unconsciously. She silently exerted her strength and tried to break free from the shackles of the rope. Unfortunately, she was unable to do so. The airflow rising from her dantian dispersed halfway through, and she could only look out the window helplessly. Qin Chuan asked for help.
Qin Chuan understood the expectation in her eyes, and threw in a bladed willow dart. Su Qiqi squatted down, picked up the willow leaf dart on the ground, and cut the rope neatly. Then he helped Zheng Miao untie the rope. With Qin Chuan's help, the two successfully escaped from Feiyun Village.
When leaving, the three of them also took away the most beloved horse of the village leader Tan Dabiao - the Zhaoye Jade Lion from the Western Regions. It is white in color and has a majestic appearance. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles in a day. Qin Chuan had set his sights on it when he sneaked into the village quietly. They said that a BMW deserves a hero. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to give it to an ignorant green forest thief? It would be better to take it back to the escort agency and give it a better home.
Qin Chuan gave the snow-white horse to Su Qiqi, and he took his sister to ride on the horse he brought, and the three of them left the wilderness forest one after another.
The three of them walked for about a stick of incense and arrived at a lively small town. The towers and residential buildings here are not large in scale, but they are much more gorgeous than the villages we passed before. The three of them dismounted and walked along the street for a long time before deciding to stay at Rongyue Inn in the north of the city.
After settling their luggage, the three of them went to the Tianshang Restaurant near the inn to have lunch.
Tianshangju Restaurant is a major signature here. Passing businessmen and tourists often come here to taste the famous dishes here - frozen tofu with matsutake mushrooms and steamed pigeon with lotus leaves. As a senior foodie, Su Qiqi will certainly not miss these two delicacies.
The three of them went to the second floor of the restaurant and found a seat facing the street and sat down. Before she had time to order, Zheng Miao couldn't wait to express her doubts.
"Brother, how did you know we were trapped in Feiyun Village?"
"It's very simple. The footprints of those thieves told me...Actually, I saw you yesterday..." Qin Chuan said casually while pouring tea for the two sisters.
"Then why didn't you save us yesterday?" Zheng Miao wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfied.
"I originally wanted to take action, but the appearance of Dong Liu made me change my plan..." Qin Chuan raised his hand and brushed the hair from his forehead, saying dullly.
"Oh? You can't beat him?" Zheng Miao looked at the brother she once admired so much in disbelief.
"No... no, judging from his skill, he should be on par with me. If we fight alone, we may still have a chance of winning, but they still have dozens of minions, plus the leader of the thieves, if they take action rashly Maybe the three of us have to spend the night in the woodshed..." Qin Chuan explained stutteringly.
Seeing his cute look, Su Qiqi couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker. Qin Chuan's face turned a little red, and he did not dare to look directly at Su Qiqi. Instead, he patted Zheng Miao who was laughing: "Silly girl, what's so funny! Hurry up and order food!"
Su Qiqi and Zheng Miao looked at each other and smiled, picked up the menu handed by the waiter, ordered the two signature dishes, and a few fresh vegetables, then gave the menu to Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao, and walked to the street Beside the fence, I watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
A young man wearing a tight-fitting gold robe caught Su Qiqi's attention. The man was sitting on a seat along the street in the teahouse opposite. There was a short sword on the table. The scabbard was inlaid with seven colored gems. It was exquisite and had a vague aura of mystery. The strangest thing was that the man clearly ordered tea, but did not move at all. Instead, he took off the kettle he had brought with him and drank. While drinking, he looked towards a certain direction on the street from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
Isn't this person too cautious? Su Qiqi secretly speculated. She wanted to observe that person again. Zheng Miao came over and pulled her arm, shook it a few times, and said with a sly expression: "Sister, you don't have a crush on the young master opposite, do you? You've already seen him. For a while, I didn’t even turn my eyes..."
Su Qiqi slapped Zheng Miao angrily and said with a smile: "I'm not as crazy as you, I'm just surprised by that person's behavior..."
When Zheng Miao heard what she said, she couldn't help but turn around to look at the mysterious man in the teahouse opposite. She looked at it and couldn't help calling Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan over: "Look, he has a What a strange shape…”
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan quickly came over, looked at the mysterious person carefully, and exclaimed in unison: "People from the Ye You Alliance? Why are they here?"
