When Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing, and Su Tingyu came to the south of the city, a group of Qingji had already gathered around them.
Some of these Qingji came from the Demon Suppression Division, and some came from other places to find Qin Shaoyou.
Qing Ji, who came from other places, originally wanted to report the blood cloud and blood rain to Qin Shaoyou.
As a result, as soon as they opened their mouths, they heard Qing Ji coming from the Demon Suppression Department, saying that the blood clouds, blood rains and other things before were all caused by Zheng Tu. Not only that, that Zheng Tu almost succeeded in escaping from prison. Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others rushed back in time and killed Zheng Tu.
This group of Qingjis who came from the Demon Suppression Division not only spoke in a lively and colorful manner, but also made gestures, making their companions who came from other places to report the demons, beat their chests and feet with great annoyance, hating themselves for missing out on such a great event!
Judging from their appearance, they seem to be willing to risk their lives just to watch the fun.
Qing Ji, who came from the Demon Suppression Division, saw the appearance of his companions and laughed happily.
In addition to laughing at their companions, they also told Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu that An Mutong and An Qin knew about the three of them going shopping and were looking for Cui Youwei, Tuhuang and others to inquire about Su Jianqing. and Su Tingyu’s birth date.
Qin Shaoyou was dumbfounded.
Have you started asking about birthdays and horoscopes now? So the next step is to go to a fortune teller to calculate whether the horoscopes of both parties are suitable?
Is this a little too fast?
In fact, there is no need to find a fortune teller. Not to mention Cui Yougui, Tuhuang and others, there are two sisters, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu, who can tell fortunes...
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu, and quickly explained: "My fifth sister always listens to the wind and follows the rain. Don't mind. I will explain to her when I get back."
Of course, if you don't mind, I also want to take off my clothes...
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, the two sisters had different reactions.
Su Jianqing was generous and looked at him with a half-smiling expression, as if she had understood the thoughts in his heart.
Su Tingyu was a little shy and embarrassed, her pretty face was slightly red, which made Qin Shaoyou's heart beat wildly.
When Qing Ji saw this scene, although he didn't understand much about human emotions, he still knew how to make noises. They all rode bamboo horses around Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu, shouting "oh oh oh" got up.
Their howl not only caused nearby passers-by to peek their heads in, but also dispersed the charming atmosphere that had been created with great effort.
Qin Shaoyou was angry and kicked them with his foot, but unfortunately he didn't.
Although this group of Qingjis didn't have much attack power, they were incredibly fast on their bamboo horses.
Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu were immediately amused and laughed.
Qin Shaoyou stopped chasing and couldn't help laughing.
Those few Qingji who had not been kicked actually stopped to provoke Qin Shaoyou when they saw that he was not chasing them. Qin Shaoyou laughed and cursed for a while, saying that he would hold back their wine and not let them drink when he returned.
When the Qingjis heard that they had no wine, they became frightened. They repeatedly held up their hands and begged for mercy. They even rode back on bamboo horses and stuck out their buttocks for Qin Shaoyou to kick.
Seeing how pitiful they were, Qin Shaoyou couldn't get up any more and scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't stick your butt out and have tears in your eyes. People who don't know will look at it and think I did something to you. Don't worry. Come on, I won’t deduct the wine!”
These Qingji suddenly became happy.
However, after learning a lesson, they were afraid that Qin Shaoyou would really withhold wine, so they did not dare to make any noise. They just followed Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu to the Sansi Bridge in the south of the city.
In Zheng Tu's memory, the old man who was sent by Liu Shuyuan to find him lived in a courtyard near Sansi Bridge.
Following the clues in Zheng Tu's memory, Qin Shaoyou and the others quickly found a courtyard and asked the people who lived in the courtyard.
Sure enough, there once lived an old man in this yard.
"What's the old man's name?"
Qin Shaoyou asked an aunt, and there was a girl standing behind the aunt, looking at Qin Shaoyou with a shy look, which made Su Tingyu frown, and Su Jianqing laughed secretly.
The aunt didn't notice her daughter's fiery gaze. After thinking about it seriously, she said: "As for Master Huihu, we all call the old man who once lived here, Lao Zhangtou. As for his specific name, it's No one knows anymore.”
"Why did you call me Mr. Tiger?" Qin Shaoyou was stunned and wondered: Why did my last name get changed?
But the aunt looked serious: "I heard Mr. Shu said that your name is the Tiger of the Demon Suppression Division, isn't it Lord Tiger?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly: "The Tiger of the Demon Suppression Division is the nickname given to me by others. My surname is Qin."
If you call me Master Tiger, do you want to call Cui Yougui and Zhu Xiucai Master Long and Master Feng?
Good fellow, do you think our Mianyuan County Demon Division is a nest of birds and beasts?
The aunt quickly apologized.
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand, without intending to blame, and asked: "Is that old Zhangtou a native of Mianyuan County?"
The aunt shook her head and said: "No, Lao Zhangtou moved here from another place three years ago. He said he came to seek refuge with relatives, but it turned out that the relative he wanted to seek refuge with died two years ago, and he had no other place to go. He went and took a child with him, so he asked Fang Zheng and us neighbors to help him act as guarantee. We thought he and the child were pitiful and didn't look like bad people, so we let him rent a house here to live."
"Lao Zhangtou has a child? Is it a boy? How old is he?"
Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up.
Lao Zhangtou came to Mianyuan County three years ago, and he brought this child with him...
So, could this child be the boy the Black Lotus is looking for?
However, the aunt's answer was somewhat beyond Qin Shaoyou's expectations:
"No, Lao Zhangtou brought a girl. She was about five or six years old when she came. She was just a bit stupid. She couldn't even walk or talk. Lao Zhangtou said, that girl was on the road. When I was young, I was scared out of my mind by monsters. It was really pitiful. In the past few years, Lao Zhangtou made a lot of folk remedies for his granddaughter. Not to mention, they were really effective and made the silly girl get better little by little. , I have recovered my ability to walk and speak, but I am still much slower than my peers..."
girl? Were you five or six years old when you came? By the time the demon from the Black Lotus Sect comes over, he should be eight or nine years old.
Judging from gender and age, it doesn’t seem to match...
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
But he hasn't completely given up his doubts either.
Because of this, there is another possibility.
Could it be that Lao Zhangtou’s so-called granddaughter is actually a man? Just being raised by him as a girl?
The purpose is to avoid the attention of certain people and organizations.
Such as the Black Lotus.
After all, in this world, there are illusions and supernatural items. It is not impossible to change a person's appearance.
Zhu Xiucai could turn into a great beauty, let alone turn a boy into a girl.
What's more, this aunt said that Lao Zhangtou's 'granddaughter' is stupider than her peers. If you think about it carefully, it seems weird.
If that 'granddaughter' was not four or five years old when she first came to Mianyuan County, but was just born...
So is it normal that she can't speak or walk?
In the following years, it was not so much that Lao Zhang relied on folk remedies to help his "granddaughter" recover the soul that was scared away by demons, but rather that the child grew up little by little and began to learn to talk and toddle.
It's just that Lao Zhangtou made good excuses and had good acting skills, so no one noticed the clues.
Of course, these are all speculations, and we still have to investigate further to find out what the specific situation is.
In particular, Qin Shaoyou is most curious about the true identities of Lao Zhangtou and his 'granddaughter'.
So he asked again: "Did Lao Zhangtou tell you where he came from? And who were the relatives he was going to defect to? When he left, did he tell you that he was going to take his granddaughter with him? What to do?"
