"If you continue to shout so loudly, it will wake your grandmother up, do you want her to worry?"
Fu Zhenhong's tone was calm, unhurried, and there was a kind of distant emptiness in her clear voice, like the clear moonlight under the quiet and gentle flowing water.This sound reaches people's ears, as if there is a soothing magic that can make people who are flustered and uneasy in their hearts let go of their tensions.Mu Liu'er, who was still trying to break free from Chu Liuxiang's restraints, immediately stopped struggling and stopped screaming meaninglessly after hearing Fu Zhenhong's voice.He looked in the direction of his grandmother, and the first thing he noticed was the white-robed monk standing by the bed.is a monk.He is very good-looking, and his voice is exceptionally good.A gentle and gentle appearance, white clothes without a trace of dust, as if they are not in the same world as poor people of humble status.Mu Liu'er looked at this white-clothed monk and couldn't help but think of the two words she heard from a poor Xiucai, Xiuyi and Gaoya."
Who are you?"
Mu Liu'er almost broke away.After the words fell, without waiting for the other party to answer, Mu Liu'er himself quickly reacted, since this monk came here with this big brother who grabbed him, he must be this big brother's friend.So his question was really naïve and ridiculous.In fact, although Mu Liuer looked skinny, like a little boy of five or six years old, he was actually almost ten years old.The dilemma of life made him have to force himself to become mature early, and his mentality should be as close to old as possible.It is precisely because of this that even at his current age, even if he is naïve, it is in line with it, but Mu Liuer still does not want to get involved with these two words.He wants to grow up quickly, and only when he grows up, can it be much more convenient when he is in any situation.He can rely on his physical strength to make money and take care of his mother, instead of being tied up like now, not only can he not protect his mother, but he is also being held by the back collar and unable to break free.Thinking of this, Mu Liu'er glared at Chu Liuxiang with annoyance, and on her unopened face, her brows suddenly wrinkled into a small Sichuan character.Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you remember me?"
”Although he asked so, whether it was Chu Liuxiang or Mu Liu'er, they were actually very clear that Mu Liu'er, as one of the parties involved, naturally remembered it, otherwise he would not have fled in a panic as soon as he saw Chu Liuxiang.Mu Liu'er wandered in a place like South Street, and at a young age, he understood the truth that the person who knows the times is Junjie, and after recognizing the current situation, he took the initiative to show weakness and replied obediently: "Remember, but big brother, can you let me down first?"
”He called out to Chu Liuxiang's eldest brother, his big round eyes blinking gently, looking innocent and harmless.This instantly reminded Chu Liuxiang of the state shown by this little boy on the night of the lantern festival.I have to say that Mu Liu'er's disguise is still very successful, if it weren't for knowing what this little boy did, Chu Liuxiang wouldn't have seen that there were a lot of improper careful thoughts hidden under such a simple appearance.Chu Liuxiang just stared at Mu Liu'er for a few seconds, his appearance was handsome, his face was handsome, and his temperament was elegant and elegant.On weekdays, when he laughs, he will give people a kind of arbitrary and casual chic, but once he looks at someone with a blank face, the momentum that exudes from the inside out will make people feel nervous and oppressive.Mu Liu'er is just a child under the age of ten after all, even if he is thick-skinned and accustomed to deception and disguise, but he has not yet reached the level of calmness after being caught doing bad things.So at this moment, after stealing Chu Liuxiang's jade pendant and being approached by this owner, Mu Liu'er couldn't be said to be panicked.His heart was beating fast, and he was very uncomfortable with Chu Liuxiang's eyes, and sweat was also pouring on his forehead.Chu Liuxiang felt Mu Liu'er's mood change.Fu Zhenhong also felt it, but he didn't say anything, but stood quietly aside.It wasn't until later that Mu Liu'er said, "Big brother, I'm sorry." ”After Chu Liuxiang heard Mu Liu'er say this, she raised her eyebrows, and then temporarily let go of her hand and put down Mu Liu'er.The steadiness of his feet returning to the ground made Mu Liu'er's panic a little less, he gritted his teeth, and said pitifully: "I was also forced to be helpless." ”After the words fell, the hand hanging by his side was still unconsciously clenched, and it could be seen that he was still very nervous.Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang squatted down in front of Mu Liu'er.Chu Liuxiang's gaze was level with Mu Liu'er's, he gently patted Mu Liu'er's cheek, and his tone was lukewarm: "Let's talk about it, who instructed you to steal my jade pendant?"
”Mu Liu'er pursed her lips, and after recalling for a while, she was about to answer, when Chu Liuxiang reminded: "If you lie, I won't be as merciful as Fang Cai anymore." ”This is a threat of nakedness.When Chu Liuxiang said this, there was also a chilling coldness in his eyes.Fu Zhenhong was not surprised by this, Mu Liu'er, a little boy, if he didn't feel threatened and didn't scare him, he would probably not tell the truth.Under Chu Liuxiang's eyes, Mu Liu'er hesitated for a few seconds, but still answered truthfully, "It's a ......
A beggar. ”"Beggars?"
Chu Liuxiang frowned."
Yes, it's a beggar, but the beggar has a black mask, and I can't see what he looks like."
Mu Liu'er also seemed to be out of the way, and said while recalling: "He is very tall, his voice is very low, and his accent is not from our Tiancang County. ”Fu Zhenhong asked, "How did you determine that the other party was a beggar?"
”Mu Liu'er glanced at Fu Zhenhong, and then at Chu Liuxiang, who was in thought because of his words, and then continued: "It was my own observation, that person's clothes are shabby, the traces of sewing are very serious, there are many calluses on his hands, and he is also holding a very well-made stick. ”Chu Liuxiang said: "Is it just a little bit?"
”"No," Mu Liu'er shook her head, "I've met several times people with sticks like the masked man, they are all beggars, and I know that those who hold such sticks are organized. ”"Could it be that this matter is still related to the beggar gang......"
Chu Liuxiang's gaze sank."
Yes, it's the beggars!"
Hearing Chu Liuxiang say this, Mu Liu'er also quickly remembered, "I heard that the organization of these beggars is called the Beggar Gang!"
”As if in order to convince Chu Liuxiang that she was not lying, Mu Liu'er also raised her hand and swore to the sky, and at the end, she grabbed Chu Liuxiang's sleeve and said, "Big brother, you believe me!"
”Chu Liuxiang did not respond to Mu Liu'er, but looked at Fu Zhenhong."
Wuhua, what do you think about this?"
Chu Liuxiang asked.Fu Zhenhong pondered for a moment and said, "We should probably go to the beggar gang." ”Chu Liuxiang nodded, "I think so too." ”It is true that he has not caught up with Nangong Ling, the leader of the beggar gang, for a long time.After Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang came out of the dilapidated small Taoist temple, the two didn't walk long before they ran into Lu Yuan and Thick Eyebrows and others.Lu Yuan's gaze swept back and forth on Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang's bodies, and raised his eyebrows, "Finished asking?"
”When he finished speaking, he continued rather jokingly: "If you look for someone in the future, remember to look for me." ”Chu Liuxiang's brows furrowed imperceptibly, he didn't pay attention to Lu Yuan anymore, but what he thought in his heart was that after the matter was dealt with, he would definitely come to this South Street again, and exchange other things for the string of Buddhist beads without flowers from this man's hand.Fu Zhenhong glanced at Lu Yuan, didn't say anything, and walked out of South Street with Chu Liuxiang.Looking at the backs of Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang leaving, the lips with thick eyebrows moved, "Big brother, just let them go?"
”Lu Yuan raised his eyelids lazily and said, "Otherwise?
”The thick eyebrows suddenly closed their mouths in amusement and stopped talking.However, his eyes were still on the back of the white-clothed monk for a long time, and he might never see such a beautiful person in his life.The thick eyebrows couldn't help but sigh a little in their hearts.Lu Yuan glanced at his thick eyebrows, "Take the brothers, go and count the materials harvested today." ”When the thick eyebrows heard this, they didn't think much about it anymore, and immediately nodded in response, "Okay, big brother, I'll go now." ”After the words fell, he gestured to the others.After taking a few people away, Lu Yuan glanced in the direction where Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang had left, and then turned around and walked towards a hidden alleyway.Here, after Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang left South Street, they went towards the Shilou Inn.Since they decided to go to the beggar gang, the two briefly discussed, and in order not to delay time, they prepared to leave today.However, it backfired, and before Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang could walk back to the Shilou Inn, they were forced to stop because of the congestion not far ahead.More than ten meters away from them, on the boxy ring, several people were signing up on the stage.Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang glanced at each other, thinking of the activities held outside the Qian staff.There are a total of three competitions, namely piano, painting, and martial arts.Judging from the situation ahead, this event should have just begun, and it is the registration stage.A group of people surrounded the ring, talking in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very lively.Fu Zhenhong remembered that when she met Lu Xiaofeng at the inn this morning, the other party also said that she wanted to participate in this competition with her friend Hua Manlou, but now Fu Zhenhong did not see Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou in the crowd or in the ring.He swept around again, and finally looked at the tall building directly north of the ring, which had two floors, and a screen in the middle of the second floor divided the second floor into one left and one right.And the left side is divided into six compartments, similar to a small window, and there are several people standing in three compartments, these people are gorgeously dressed, and it can be seen that they have a high status in Tiancang County.As for the right side, there are no compartments, and they are completely hollowed out, but they are obscured by sheets of sheer tulle.A graceful woman can be faintly seen in the tulle, and behind the woman there are two people with long swords hanging from their waists, thinking that this woman should be the granddaughter of Qian Yuanwai, and the two people behind her are her guards.Fu Zhenhong was not interested in any of this, and only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.At this time, the registration for the first competition is almost over.Chu Liuxiang said, "Let's go, go over there." ”In fact, if Chu Liuxiang had nothing important to do, he would probably have watched the excitement of this martial arts competition, but as long as he thought of the matter of Tianyi Shenshui and the January time limit given by the jellyfish Yin Ji, Chu Liuxiang was not interested, although he was a little curious about this activity, but he didn't plan to stay longer.Fu Zhenhong nodded, followed Chu Liuxiang's steps, and Chu Liuxiang opened a way in the crowd.However, just as the two of them walked out of the crowd and were about to continue walking in the direction of the previous inn, a dagger pierced the air and flew in, and Chu Liuxiang's reaction was also extremely fast, and he quickly raised his hand to catch the dagger that was stabbing at Wuhua's face.His eyes froze, and he looked coldly in the direction where the dagger was flying.It's on the right side of the second floor.Almost at a glance, Chu Liuxiang was sure that the flying dagger was thrown by the woman, that is, the person on the right hand side of Qian Yuanwai's granddaughter.And this person should be the guard of Qian Yuan's granddaughter, and the other party will suddenly throw this dagger, there is only one possibility, that is, after the woman's instructions.No matter what the woman's purpose is, such an approach is extremely inappropriate, even if Chu Liuxiang knows that Wuhua will not be hurt by this little trick, she is still a little angry.Through that layer of thin veil, Chu Liuxiang's gaze shot sharply at the woman in the middle, and the woman also raised her eyelids, but her eyes did not fall on Chu Liuxiang's body, but looked at Fu Zhenhong beside Chu Liuxiang.At this time, the originally noisy environment had already become quiet, and some people who did not know the situation also turned their eyes to Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang.
