harmless youth like me

The hills in the south are beautiful but not high, if he can climb up this cave, those eunuch's minions will naturally be able to climb up too.

He retreated dejectedly, touched the peach blossom and flowing water knife, thinking that these few days had wiped out all the bad luck of his life.

Ah Jiu raised her face and said, "I'm hungry."

Li Tangong said: "Don't talk, I want to be quiet."

"I'm so hungry." Ah Jiu repeated.

"I'm hungry too." Li Tangong said, "I'm still sleepy!"

The two were chatting nonsense when they heard the sound of the claws hanging on the cliff, and even the voice of their voices could be heard clearly.

One said: "There's a hole in the cliff!"

Another said: "Climb up and see!"

Li Tangong hurriedly looked out, but he didn't see anyone, but he saw more than 20 horses.

"It's dead!" He pulled Ah Jiu up and jumped out of the cave, trying to climb to the top of the cliff along the rock wall, but this time it was not smooth. I didn't hold on tight, and it looked like I was going to fall.

He didn't care about maintaining his balance, and shouted at the bottom: "Look at the poison!"

The brocade guards at the foot of the cliff slowed down, and suddenly felt that their faces were cold as if they had been stained with something, so they stopped immediately in fright.

Li Tangong and Ah Jiu took the opportunity to turn up the cliff, the top of the cliff was densely forested, and there was only a small open space at the edge, they didn't dare to delay at all, plunged into the bushes, and dared to stop for a while after running for more than half an hour.

Li Tan hung Ah Jiu on his back, propped up a tree with one hand, and held a leather water bottle that had just been emptied in the other, panting like a tuberculosis ghost.

The sky is bright, the fog has cleared, no human voice can be heard, only the rustling of leaves is heard, and the world is clear and peaceful.

Li Tangong was not at all at ease in his heart, but he did not show the slightest hesitation. After a while, he carried Ah Jiu on his back again, and walked forward with the knife.

After walking the mountain road for more than half an hour, he was exhausted, and suddenly something hit him on the head, which still hurts.

He thought it was a wild monkey throwing fruit, cursed, and then looked for the culprit on the ground.In the end, I didn't see the fruit, but I saw a small brass box.

He picked up the small box, weighed it, and cursed: "Bastard turtle! How dare you hit the uncle on the head with such a heavy thing? It almost made a bloody hole in me!"

The box has no lock, only a small button, which can be opened with a pinch, and there is a strange-shaped thing inside.He studied it for a long time before he found out that it was a whistle, but it made no sound at all when he blew it.

There is also a note under the whistle, which reads: Hurry up to the old turtle throat.

"What is the old turtle's throat?" Li Tangong asked himself.Ask Ah Jiu again: "Do you know?"

Ah Jiu can only know that there is a ghost.

Li Tangong spread his hands, put the whistle and the small brass box into his arms, and continued to move forward, he had lost his way a long time ago, but he still had a chance of survival if he kept walking, he would die if he stopped.

"Who's following me?" he murmured.

Regardless, there are many people following, and this one is not bad.Besides, this is not bad, give him a whistle to play with.

"Old Turtle Throat...Old Turtle Throat...What is Old Turtle Throat?" He kept muttering, when something hit him suddenly.

"Turtle son!" He covered his head and said angrily, "You haven't finished yet?!"

This time it was a soft and big bag, he opened it to see, first of all there was a note inside, which read: The throat of the old turtle is the narrowest part of the Baihe River, this thing can be used for self-defense.

Under the note is a piece of soft armor, which feels like silk, but it seems to be much more flexible than ordinary silk.

"What can this protect against?" Li Tangong put it on Ah Jiu while nagging.

As for Old Turtle Throat, he has a few points. The mountain forest under his feet stretches along the river bank, and even at this time he can still hear the faint sound of water. As long as he walks along the river, he will definitely encounter the so-called narrowest place.

Just which way? Keep going, or go back?

Just as he was hesitating, a small stone fell in front of him.

"Over there?" he asked, pointing.

No one answered in the quiet jungle.

"Then go over there." He picked up Ah Jiu and walked forward.

Ah Jiu asked, "Brother Tan Gong, who are you talking to?"

Li Tangong said: "I don't know, it's probably the King of Hades. Anyway, sooner or later he will die, it doesn't matter which King of Hades he hears from."

After he and Ah Jiu stumbled away, the stern young man named Chang Que slowly came out from behind the tree.He first picked up the fur skin that Li Tangong dropped, and then carefully found the fried soybeans dropped by Ah Jiu from the cracks in the grass one by one. Then he sighed and said, "If I really want to kill you, I'm afraid it will be you." Seventeen or eighteen heads are not enough."

He turned around and asked, "Where is Situ Luan?"

"I'm here," replied a voice deep in the woods.

"You go." Chang Que said.

There was a slight noise in the forest, and a few leaves fell slowly.

In front of Li Tangong was a river.

At the bend of this river, there are huge rocks on the left and right mountains protruding several feet into the water, so the river narrows suddenly, so there is a common name for this place "Old Turtle Throat".

The old turtle is a soft-shelled turtle. When people kill a soft-shelled turtle, they always hold it in its mouth with a chopstick. With the foot firmly on the turtle's shell, its head can be chopped off with one knife.

Li Tangong jumped onto the boulder, thought for a while, then took out the odd-shaped whistle that was more than an inch long from his bosom and blew it, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Am I thinking wrong?" Li Tangong asked himself.

He handed Ah Jiu the whistle, "Blow it."

Of course Ah Jiu didn't make a sound.

But at this moment, a person suddenly appeared from Ah Jiu's feet and jumped onto the top of the boulder, startling Li Tangong!

This man was extremely thin and dry, with his facial features shrunk into a ball, similar to that of six-year-old Ah Jiu. He was not human at all, like a monkey.

Li Tangong was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, the man didn't speak, but took out a roll of thick rope from behind, and threw the end of the rope across the river with a "swish".

Although the river in this place is narrow, it is at least three or four feet long. It is unexpected that this little dwarf who reaches the waist of an ordinary person has such great strength.Unexpectedly, on the other side of the river, there was a little dwarf who was almost exactly the same, jumped up to catch the end of the rope, and then pulled it tight.

The little man looked at Li Tangong.

Li Tangong pointed to himself, then pointed to the rope and asked, "You...let me climb the rope to cross the river?"

The shorty nodded.

Li Tangong asked: "How did that child get there?"

The dwarf didn't speak.

"Forget it if you kill me..." Li Tangong murmured, he took off his belt, and wrapped Ah Jiu around his body.

"We're going up, don't let go," he said to the dwarf who was pulling the rope.

The dwarf ignored him, Li Tangong bowed to him twice, and climbed onto the rope.

Where the river is narrow, the current is very fast. The swirl of the river makes the rocks rumble, as if it were ghosts roaring from hell, which makes people creepy. Li Tangong didn't dare to move for a long time, but he had to move again. He thought: These two dwarves What if we can’t pull the rope? What if they are the minions of Dongchang, lured Ah Jiu and me into the middle of the river, and then let go on purpose?

He asked Ah Jiu, "Can you swim?"

Ah Jiu is the young master of an official family. Even if he is a fool, even if he is not liked, there are usually one or two nannies and servants watching him, so he will not be let out to play around like a country child. He never learned how to climb a tree.

Li Tangong said: "Yes, we both have to die here today."

Even though he said that, his body was hanging from the rope, wriggling inch by inch like a bug, and he forced himself not to look at the torrent below him.Gradually, he saw the face of the dwarf on the opposite side, and it turned out that the two pulling the rope were brothers. He sped up and crawled to the opposite bank. When he landed, his clothes were soaked, half of them were hit by water mist, and half were soaked in cold sweat.

This dwarf was slightly taller than the one on the other side, their looks were almost exactly the same, even their accents were the same, he silently gathered up the rope, and then fled into the bushes at a very fast speed.

"Who are these two people?" Li Tangong asked in confusion, "Why did they ask me to cross the river?"

He didn't have an answer himself, so he could only untie Ah Jiu from his body, hold his hand, and walk forward step by step.

It took another day and night to stop and go, and the next morning, the sky was bright, and the two of them hid in the wet woods to rest, feeling very hungry and thirsty.Especially Ah Jiu, who cried out repeatedly that he was hungry, and couldn't be coaxed, so Li Tangong had no choice but to agree to take him to find something to eat.

At this time, the rainy season was intermittent, the sun was shining brightly, and the dew condensed on the green treetops, and soon melted into the sweet air.

After leaving the forest, there was a small village not far away. Li Tangong was afraid of revealing his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to approach it.Fortunately, there was a melon field outside the village, so he sneaked in and followed the vines to find the melons. The season was not coming, and the melons were still half-cooked. Ah Jiu complained while eating, "It's so bad."

Li Tangong said: "Don't worry about it, it's better than starving."

"Brother Tan Gong, I want more."

"Okay, I'll give you another half."

"Brother Tan Gong, I want to eat meat buns."

"I want to eat more than you do." Li Tangong said, "When I was a child, my family was poor. Master, I only robbed sex but not money. It made me eat meat buns like Chinese New Year. Not to mention meat buns, I also eat vegetable buns." No way!"

"What do you mean by 'robbing sex but not wealth'?"

Li Tangong raised his face and scolded: "Sir, children don't interrupt when talking, eat yours! Have you finished eating? Leave after eating."

After eating the melon, he couldn't bear the continuous drowsiness, so he leaned against the tree and dozed off.After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a series of barking dogs in the distance, and he found Ah Jiu lying beside him, sleeping soundly.

He shook Ah Jiu to wake him up, and the two continued on their way until nightfall. They hadn't walked much, but they were hungry again.Isn't watermelon just water, how can it satisfy hunger?

Ah Jiu said pitifully, "Brother Tan Gong, I'm so hungry, I can't even walk a step."

Li Tangong was also hungry, he looked around worriedly.They were walking in the middle of a large mudflat, with neither the village nor the store behind, and it was dark all around.

He thought of a small village he passed by in the afternoon. He avoided it because he was worried that there were people from Dongchang hidden in it. Now that he had to go back in this situation.

He took out a few coins from his pocket and said to Ah Jiu, "Squat behind that rock for me, and don't come out no matter what happens. I'll go find something to eat, and I'll be back soon."

Ah Jiu asked, "How fast?"

"You count to one hundred." Li Tangong said.

Ah Jiu began to count: "One, two, three, four, five... five... five... three, four, five... five... one, three, four, five..."

Li Tangong trotted all the way into Xiajia Village, and found that the village was as small as a pigeon's nest, with only a dozen or so households in total, and no one sold food in the middle of the night.He found a house with the largest house and the tallest courtyard wall, turned inside, and followed the wall to find the kitchen.

There is a big drawer of steamed buns on the stove of this family, pickled fish and chicken in the cupboard, and bacon hanging from the beam.He was overjoyed, and took off his coat to pack everything. Suddenly, a person jumped down from the roof and stood in front of him. The two looked at each other, screamed strangely at the same time, and immediately covered their mouths with their hands.

The other party said softly: "What? This is not a boudoir?"

Li Tangong lowered his voice and said angrily: "Is there a chimney in your boudoir?"

The other party cupped his hands and said, "Accept, I will find a boudoir."

Li Tangong was curious and asked, "Why are you looking for a boudoir? The girl in this house is beautiful?"

"No," the man shook his head and answered honestly, "this is the only family in the village that has a daughter."

After all, he jumped onto the roof again.Li Tangong scolded him, immersed himself in his own work, and heard a crisp slap while doing it, and then a woman with a rough voice yelled loudly, and then the lights in the whole house were turned on.

Li Tangong was furious, thinking, you have found the boudoir, and you didn't wait for Lao Tzu to leave first! He put his burden on his back and pushed it against the wall of the courtyard. Behind him was a mess of people barking, and the townspeople held up rakes and poles shouted : "Hurry up and catch the thief——!"

The boudoir seeker just flashed past the wall, and then turned around to pull him.Li Tangong waved his hands and said, "If you want to get out, get out, don't drag me down!"

The other party said: "For the sake of my colleagues, I am saving you!"

The two of them ran back and forth for a mile or two before stopping. Seeing that there were no pursuers, they sat on the ground panting and said, "Unlucky, unlucky!"

Li Tangong said: "I'm unlucky, I gave you such a rush, I didn't even take everything!"

The man hugged his head and screamed for pain, only to see five clear fingerprints on his face, and half of his face was so swollen that he couldn't even see his eyes.Li Tangong laughed at him and said, "Huh? This boudoir is not bad."

The man said bitterly, "Don't mention it. In our hometown, people like that are usually not called daughters, but Lu Zhishen."

Li Tangong asked: "No, my child is lost! There is a river beach near here, which direction is it?"

The man pointed to the left, Li Tan bowed his feet and walked away, the man followed all the way.

Li Tangong asked: "What are you doing again?"

The man said: "Little brother, you are poisoned, do you know?"

Li Tangong was slightly startled and said: "Nonsense."

The man smiled and said, "You came here from the Baihe River? You must have met the woman on the ferry. She is in her 30s and has a cute little daughter. She will tell you that his man has gone out so there is no boat, and then Let me keep you overnight and give you something to eat, shall I?"

Li Tangong said: "I didn't eat."

The man chuckled and said, "It's fine if you don't eat it. If you believed the ferry woman, I'm afraid the body would have drifted downstream long ago. The minions of Dongchang don't know how to write words on their faces."

Li Tangong spat secretly, thinking what kind of world is this, even the fisherman is not a good person! This person is neither yin nor yang, let alone a good person!

"I didn't come from the ferry." He didn't want to admit anything.

The man said, "What are you afraid of? You are running for your life, and I am also running for your life. My name is Situ Luan."

"I'm not running for my life," Li Tangong cupped his hands at him, "Brother Situ is lucky to meet you, brother Situ goodbye."

He turned around and left, upset at the thought that he might be poisoned, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace. Situ Luan followed at a moderate distance. Li Tangong stopped and looked at him suspiciously many times, but he didn't feel embarrassed and kept following.

Ah Jiu was very well-behaved, still hiding behind the big rock, Li Tangong carried him out, gave him buns, and he devoured them hungrily.

Li Tangong was always easygoing and did not chase Situ away, but pointed at Ah Jiu and asked him: "Is this child poisoned?"

Situ nodded and said, "He was also poisoned."

Li Tangong asked: "What kind of poison is it?"

Situ Luan said: "The poison you are suffering from is called Three Days Lihun. It is a slow poison. You will be fine for the first two days. On the third day, you will feel drowsy as if you can't wake up, but this poison will not kill you. Man, the effect of the medicine will wear off after six days. It seems that the woman on the ferry wants to catch her alive so that she can claim credit and reward in front of Hai Hongyan."

He glanced back and said with a smile: "Maybe that woman is following you."

Li Tangong said: "Follow me, let me tell you Brother Situ, there are at least three groups of people following us."

"Which three dials?" Situ Luan asked with interest.

Li Tangong said: "One group is from Dongchanghai Hongyan, another group is from Xiaoyao Mountain Wuji Gong Yangming Daoist, and the other group is you. To be honest, how long have you been following us? You are not alone, are you? ? Are you going to kill me?"

Situ Luan thought: Although this kid looks like a big girl, he is not stupid!

"Why should I kill you? It's better to kill a pig than to kill you." Situ cursed and ate something from Li Tangong's big bag, but Li Tangong didn't care.The three of them sat and ate for a while, Situ Luan sighed and said, "Your poison is easy to cure, but mine is difficult!"

This man was about 27 or [-] years old, dressed as a scholar, his face was so swollen that he couldn't tell whether he was good or bad, but he was very neatly dressed.

Li Tangong looked at him by the moonlight and said, "Hey, why did you run away?"

Situ Luan said: "I killed a few enemies in Eastern Sichuan a year ago, and one of them had something to do with Dongchang somehow, so they ran after me."

Of course Li Tangong didn't believe this, and asked again: "Why did you get poisoned, and what kind of poison did you get?"

"It's useless to tell you." Situ Luan continued to reach out for the buns, "I'll break up with you after this meal. I don't care where you go. I'm going to find someone who can detoxify me. Time Urgent, I have about four days left in my life."

Li Tangong asked: "How many days are left for me and this kid?"

"Didn't you guys not eat the ferryman's food?"

"What if you eat it?"

Situ Luan said: "If you eat it, the day you go to sleep will be the day when you will die. Dongchang used iron hooks to hook the intestines from the back door."

"Who do you ask for detoxification?" Li Tangong asked.

Situ Luan said, "Have you eaten or not?"

"It's none of your business, who do you ask for detoxification?"

Situ Luan finally convinced him and replied, "Grandma Yuhuo."

"Who is Granny Yuhuo?" Li Tangong asked, "A fish seller?"

"Sell your big-headed ghost!" Situ Luan said angrily, "Grandma Yuhuo is the most mysterious expert in poison making and detoxification in the world."

"Since it is the most mysterious, how did you find her?"

Situ Luan said, "She didn't live in seclusion. Everyone knew that she lived on a wooden boat in Taihu Lake."

Li Tangong snorted and said: "Taihu Lake is so big, with hundreds of branch rivers and lakes, and dozens of islands in the lake. How did you find that small wooden boat?"

Situ Luan smiled mysteriously, "What about me, the Shanren have their own tricks."

Li Tangong didn't want to be caught by Dongchang in a daze, and he didn't want Ah Jiu to lose his life in a daze. ——That silly boy is a lucky baby who can survive even a catastrophe!

He grabbed Situ Luan and said, "Although I'm not poisoned, can't I follow along to watch the fun? After all, Granny Yuhuo is the most mysterious expert in poison making and detoxification in the world. I really want to open my eyes."

Situ Luan patted his hand away and said, "Follow if you want to, don't talk about it."

Li Tangong added: "If I feel unwell on the way, you must take care of me, although I am not poisoned."

"..." Situ Luan asked helplessly, "Can't you admit it honestly, kid? I won't eat you again! We met in Lu Zhishen's boudoir, so we can be considered friends in need."

Li Tangong said: "You touched Lu Zhishen, but I didn't do anything."

A day later, Ah Jiu became poisoned, followed by Li Tangong.Li Tangong tried his best to support himself and refused to sleep, but he couldn't resist the medicine, and fell down while walking.Fortunately, the two of them were not too heavy, so Situ Luan hugged the sleeping Ah Jiu with one hand, and with Li Tan Gong on his back, he quickened his pace and walked towards Taihu Lake.

At night, there was still more than a mile away from Taihu Lake, and Situ Luan had already seen the reed beach. Chang Que and a few people followed him quietly.

The two sides met each other without speaking, Chang Que threw a small wooden box at Situ Luan.

Situ Luan took the box and cupped his hands, Chang Que and others retreated and disappeared into the night.

Situ Luan took out a note from the bottom of the wooden box by the lake, lit the booklet to check it, and saw that it read: Come in person soon.

"Ouch." He smiled wryly and burned the note.

When Li Tangong saw Taihu Lake for the first time, he should have felt the vastness and magnificence of its water surface, but he was drowsy and sleepy and woke up, and he didn't even have the strength to move a finger.

It was already late at night, and the sky was full of stars. Situ rowed a bamboo raft and took two poisoned people with him, holding his breath and hiding in the continuous reeds on the shore of the lake.

He took out the delicate box, opened it carefully, and there was a little bee in the box.This box is only about the size of an apricot, and the little bee is as small as the tip of a needle.Facing the fresh air, the little bee spread its wings as thin as onion wings and flew towards the vast dark blue starry sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"What is this?" Li Tangong asked weakly.

Situ Luan said: "This is Granny Yuhuo's Granny Bee. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that whoever is kind to Granny Yuhuo, she will give him a Granny Bee. She promised that if there is any difficulty, she will come to Taihu Lake as soon as she is released." Help."

Li Tangong groaned and said: "It's just such a little bee, when it finds Granny Yuhuo, we might die early."

"Hush!" Situ Luan listened attentively, and then said, "It's all right, an ordinary horse. Keep your voice down, the three of us are running for our lives!"

"Will Hai Hongyan's people find us?" Li Tangong asked.

Situ Luan said: "Yes, because he has a shortage of subordinates."

Li Tangong chewed the name carefully, and asked, "Who is Chang Que? Is it a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei?"

"Chang Que, I'm really a little afraid of him." Situ Luan looked at the gentle and undulating water and said, "But it's okay, he didn't come so fast."

"Why do you have Granny Yuhuo's Gratitude Bee?" Li Tangong asked.

Situ Luan didn't answer.

The wind is blowing on the surface of the lake, the endless reeds are rustling, and the fishing fires in the distance fluctuate with the waves, flickering, and are connected with the stars in the sky. It is even hard to tell where is the sky and where is the water.Two fluffy waterfowl sleep with their necks crossed in a nest not far from the bamboo raft.

Li Tangong stared blankly at the fishing fire, and murmured: "I feel very peaceful when I am about to die. Brother Situ, if I die, you can take my dead body to ask Chang Que for credit. Anyway, I will know nothing at that time." .”

Situ Luan said: "You can't die, what will you do with this kid, Ah Jiu?"

"What should we do?" Li Tangong turned over and said lazily, "We are just moths, and you have already caught them in your net. Let me tell you the truth, in fact, you have already known that Ah Jiu is a god." To arrest Shen Tianfang's grandson, I rescued him from the Shen family and sent him to the real Yangming. After I die, you can take him to Xiaoyao Mountain, give it to Granny Yuhuo, or walk around the rivers and lakes casually. You can’t hand it over to Dongchang, or I’ll never let you go if I’m a ghost.”

"You can't die." Situ Luan said angrily, "You just took some sleeping pills, and I'm the one who's going to die!"

Li Tan bowed his head and fell asleep again. Situ pinched his face and found that he didn't respond at all.

After a long time, there was a strange sound on the lake, and Situ Luan listened vigilantly.

It was the sound of oars. A small sampan emerged from the reeds and approached slowly. A black figure stood on the bow, calling out in an old and distant voice: "Benefactor, where is the benefactor?"

Situ Luan was afraid of cheating and refused to talk to him. He waited for more than half an hour for the people on the sampan to look around, shouting, and then he paddled the raft to approach.

The people on the sampan were just ordinary fisherman and fisherman. After getting on the boat, Situ Luan asked, "Old man, where is Granny Yuhuo?"

The old fisherman said: "We will not know until we leave."

After he finished speaking, he whistled, and the old woman at the stern responded with a yo-ho and began to paddle vigorously.After walking for four or five miles, the old woman stopped the boat, and the old man looked at the sky, and even released a small bee, but it was slightly bigger than before.

After a stick of incense, a small boat rolled over, and the girl at the bow greeted softly and gracefully: "Benefactor, please come aboard."

Situ Luan asked the old man, "What's going on here?"

The old man said: "The benefactor doesn't know, it's hard to find Granny Yuhuo's whereabouts. Our boat is in charge of ten miles of water, and after ten miles, we have to hand you over to the next boat. Although Taihu Lake is big, there is always a boat that knows that my mother-in-law is there." where."

The girl said softly: "Benefactor, don't rush."

Situ Luanxie smiled and said, "Sister, we are not in a hurry."

The girl's oval face and round eyes were particularly attractive under the dancing fishing fire, Li Tangong insisted on looking at her.Situ Luan said: "Go to bed honestly! You really deserve to be Liu Caihua's apprentice, so please follow suit!"

Li Tangong said: "You really know everything...you even know who my apprentice is..."

Situ Luan saw that he had slipped his tongue, so he simply slapped him unconscious.

After walking for dozens of miles, seven or eight ships of different sizes were changed.Situ Luan said with emotion: "I have been searching for three or four hours, and there are still people leading the way. If I search by myself, I am afraid it is really a needle in a haystack."

Li Tangong said: "It's Taihu Lake looking for a needle."

"Are you awake again?" Situ Luan looked at Li Tangong's bruised and swollen face from the poisonous hair and said mockingly, "Brother Li, you are much more handsome than before."

Li Tangong smiled: "Really?"

Situ Luan said: "Really, can I find a mirror for you to look at?"

When the sky was twilight, the two of them heard people cheering in the dimness: "It was Sister Qing who found Aunt Qing and found mother-in-law!"

Situ Luan sat up suddenly, and saw a fast boat with full sails sailing straight ahead, with a middle-aged woman in a blue dress standing at the bow.When she got close, she lightly tapped her feet and landed on the fishing boat here.

Situ Luan hurriedly bowed down, "Xiangnu is polite."

Qing Gu replied, "Where did the benefactor come from?"

Situ Luan said, "Oh, this..."

Qing Gu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if your benefactor doesn't say anything."

She passed Situ Luan and saw Li Tangong and others, and asked, "Who is this?"

Situ Luan said: "They are my friends, but they are all poisoned, so please ask Xiangu for help."

Qinggu squatted down to check, and then said: "The poison among these two little brothers is called 'Three Days of Lihun', it's just an anesthetic, and it will be fine when the medicine wears off. You must know that my mother-in-law..."

Li Tangong reached out and grabbed her skirt, Qinggu was slightly startled, and then asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Hai Hongyan is chasing me."

"Hai Hongyan?" Qing Gu read slowly.

"Hmph!" She no longer hesitated, and flew back to the Clippers, "Come on, I'll take you to see your mother-in-law."

Granny Yuhuo's boat was parked in the middle of Taihu Lake. It was a five-masted boat that looked old.

Situ Luan boarded the boat without hindrance, and three or five middle-aged and elderly women rushed out to worship, calling Situ Luan his "benefactor".But when he wanted to carry Li Tangong and Ah Jiu onto the boat, the women raised their poles and hit them cracklingly, so they had to retreat.

Aunt Qing stood silently on one side, while an old woman in the boat was complaining, "Ah Qing, you know I don't see anyone from outside, why did you bring someone here?"

Qinggu said: "Master, they have been poisoned and have nowhere to go."

The old woman's voice was somewhat helpless, "Ah Qing, come in."

Qinggu opened the door curtain and went in, came out after a while, and said loudly to Li Tangong: "A little brother, mother-in-law has a bodhisattva heart, and is willing to save you for the sake of your benefactor, but you still have to follow the old rules."

"What old rules?" Li Tangong gathered his strength and asked.

Qing Gu smiled slightly and said, "Grandma likes novelty, you should give her something fresh."

Situ Luan was suddenly dumbfounded: These two boys are on the way to escape, where did they find something new to make the old lady happy?

Li Tangong rolled his eyeballs, and suddenly signaled Situ Luan to take off the nap ghost Ah Jiu's clothes.

Situ Luan asked, "What for?"

"Take it off."

Ah Jiu was stripped of his coat, revealing the white soft armor he picked up in the woods.

Qing Gu understood, smiled and shook her head and said, "This is the fire silk armor from the Western Regions, but Granny has three pieces of the same silk armor, so it's not unusual."

Li Tangong took out that strange whistle from his bosom again.

Qinggu laughed and said, "This is a bat whistle. You guys came from the old turtle's throat? There is a pair of brothers who pull the rope to ferry over there called bat slaves. When they were young, they were thrown by their enemies into the bat They survived by eating bats, although they forgot how to speak and no longer grow taller, but they can hear sounds that others cannot hear, including the bat whistle. There are at least [-] bat whistles in the rivers and lakes. So it's not surprising."

Situ Luan began to touch, but he had nothing on him except a little dry food and a few flowered handkerchiefs with a pungent smell of incense powder.

Li Tangong was at a loss, he was so poor that he only had torn trousers, and there was a copy of Liu Caihua's Peach Blossom Knife in his boots, but why do people need a few pieces of rotten paper?

Just when he was about to assert that he was the freshest, rarest and most interesting thing, Situ Luan picked up the peach blossom sword and threw it over, saying: "This is an antique!"

Li Tangong had no strength, he couldn't even stop him, so he could only weakly say: "Hey, that won't work, that's my teacher..."

Aunt Qing only took one look at the knife before her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly sent it to Granny Yuhuo.After a while, Granny Yuhuo ordered: "Let the three of them board the boat."

Li Tangong's cold sweat came down "shua".

That's bad, with my teacher Liu Caihua's pissing nature, maybe I have done something to this mother-in-law's big maid, young maid, old maid, and old maid. If this is the case, wouldn't I be in a trap?!

"I picked up the knife..." he continued weakly.

No one cares about him.

Situ Luan felt that the cabin was cramped and stuffy, so he simply slept on the deck.

He didn't lie to Li Tangong, he was indeed poisoned and he was poisoned with "Qi Ri Duan Chang San", a very insidious poison.

Li Tangong and Ah Jiuzhong were drugged, and they woke up completely after sleeping for a few days.

One morning, Qing Gu dragged Li Tangong to Yuhuo's mother-in-law's room, through the bamboo curtain, the figure of the old man could be seen faintly.Li Tangong had a ghost in his heart, so he fell to the ground and bowed.Granny Yuhuo said, "Come in."

"what?"

"Go in." Qing Gu urged.

Come on, settle accounts after autumn! Li Tangong thought to himself, reluctantly entered the house, and kept looking at his toes.

Granny Yuhuo asked, "Why don't you look at me?"

"I can not."

"What's so scary about an old woman?"

"I..." He caught a glimpse of the Taohua Liushui Knife on the low table next to Granny Yuhuo, and coughed uncomfortably.

"These two knives," said Granny Yuhuo, "are mine.

Li Tangong raised his head abruptly, and in front of him sat an old woman who was at least 60 years old, dressed in black, full of energy, with white hair combed back neatly, and a pair of deep and dark eyes.

"He stole your knife?" Li Tangong was simply unbelievable—the old master, who just flirted with other maidservants, actually took the sheep by hand?!

Granny Yuhuo asked, "Who is the 'he' you are talking about?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Tangong can only tell the truth.

"Liu Caihua, I am his apprentice."

"What about others?"

"died."

Granny Yuhuo paused, then asked, "How did you die?"

Li Tangong talked about a cup of tea like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, explaining clearly why and how Liu Caihua died. After he finished speaking, his mouth was dry, and suddenly he felt the pressure in the air around him loosen, and he thought about it After a while, he suddenly realized: "Grandma, did you use a spell on me just now?"

Granny Yuhuo said: "That's right, your master will be right too, right? Because you are his apprentice, and he is my apprentice."

Li Tangong almost lost the energy to speak, what kind of magical twists are these?!

Following the words, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Greetings to Tai Shifu! Please Tai Shifu avenge my master!"

Granny Yuhuo said: "Revenge is fine. Your master is not a good person. He is unruly and disrespectful. He stole my Peach Blossom Knife, betrayed my master, committed crimes in the world, and ruined people's innocence. He should have died a long time ago. "

"..."

Li Tangong thought to himself: Old lady, you are really difficult to serve! Since you don't want revenge, why do you recognize me as a disciple?

"However," Granny Yuhuo changed the subject, "he has done two good things... Ah Qing, since you insist on listening, why don't you come in?"

Qinggu entered the warehouse with a smile, squeezed Li Tangong's face and said, "Let me see my precious nephew!"

She said: "Nephew, you don't have to be afraid of Hai Hongyan, just stay on the boat and I will take you to Xiaoyao Mountain in two days."

To be honest, after experiencing so many things, Li Tangong dared not believe anyone easily.At the beginning, he weighed for a long time and followed Situ Luan with the determination to die.

He thought that Dongzhao Jinyiwei, Hai Hongyan, Ferry Po, and Chang Que were all on the same line, and they were enemies.

Situ Luan, Granny Yuhuo, Qing Gu, and the person who gave him the Bat Whistle and the Fire Silk Armor from the Western Regions are all in the same line, and it is unknown if they are enemies or friends.

Liu Caihua and Yang Ming are friends, but unfortunately they are either dead or have never seen each other.

He didn't believe that Liu Caihua still had a living master!

He and Liu Caihua are single, with no relatives, no friends, wandering in the rivers and lakes, relying on each other for life.When Master practiced, he slept, when Master committed crimes, he watched the wind, when Master gambled, he counted chips, and when Master everyone yelled and beat him, he ran away and hid.How could someone like Master worship an old woman as his teacher?

But since people said that, he accepted it without hesitation.
