Sauerkraut Cuttlefish

Su Wan sat in a daze under the peach tree at the entrance of Qinshui Pavilion, and happened to see two people appearing from the end of the path.

She raised the hand that was resting on her chin high, waving to them, and shouted at the same time: "Mochizuki, you're back! You've worried me to the core."

Seeing Su Wan's lively appearance, Liang Qing completely let go of his hanging heart. He quickened his pace and walked to Su Wan's side. Su Wan also stood up and looked at him.

"Junior Sister, are you alright?" Liang Qing clenched the sword in his hand, and the spike of the sword swayed slightly under his movements, sweeping across Su Wan's fingertips.Su Wan subconsciously raised her scratched hand, and glanced at the opponent's sword in the same direction.

Seeing this, Liang Qing took a few steps back in panic, and suddenly felt that he was being too rude, why he forgot the rules for a while, and walked so close to Su Wan.

Su Wan didn't care, and put her hand back to her side: "I'm sorry to bother you, my senior sister saved me, and I'm not injured, so I trouble you to make this trip in vain." She told Mochizuki to go in and pour tea, and Ask someone to bring some breakfast for her and come out to eat with Liang Qing.

"Come here overnight, you must not have eaten much, come and try my family's craftsmanship." Su Wan pushed the plate in front of Liang Qing, thought for a while and added, "But you should have tasted it at my father's house. With such a good relationship, you must visit often, right?"

Liang Qing shyly picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in the bowl, reluctant to eat it, hesitantly put down his chopsticks: "No, my father usually takes my elder brother with him when he does business, not me."

Su Wan said "Oh", and deliberately dragged out her voice, as if she was chewing carefully on what Liang Qing said just now.

Taking a sip of tea, Liang Qing collected his thoughts and returned to Su Wan: "Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about you, that month... your maid didn't tell me clearly what happened last night ?”

Repeated what happened yesterday, of course, Su Wan skipped Liang Qing's crying and wolf howling, so the whole story was narrated, which was a bit weird.

"Listen to you, you don't know why the monster is staring at you?" Liang Qing tapped his fingers on the marble table, lost in thought with a complex expression.

Su Wan also felt that something was wrong, although Qi Xing looked like a wilderness, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand that such a big sect could not have such a big hidden danger.Sighing lightly, she lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I don't know."

Liang Qing immediately stood up energetically, and was about to walk down the mountain: "I will set up a few formations for my junior sister, which can resist ordinary little ghosts and monsters."

Su Wan's eyes lit up, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it okay to do the fierce one last night?"

Liang Qing paused, rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "There shouldn't be any problem. If it is more serious, it will notify me immediately, and I will be able to come in time."

Su Wan thought it made sense. She was grateful for the warm help from little brother Lang. After smiling brightly, she graciously pulled Liang Qing back to his original place and sat down: "What's the rush? Let's talk after eating. Only when we are full can we work hard." After finishing speaking, he touched the bottom of the plate with his hand, "These are cold, I'll go get some hot ones, you can sit down and have a few sips of tea first."

Amused by Su Wan's informal behavior, Liang Qing could only sit obediently on the spot and wait, looking like a shy boy from the side.

On the surface, Su Wan was banned in Qinshui Pavilion, but in fact no one cared about her at all, and as long as she didn't take a step outside the Jinglai Peak, she would be fine, so after breakfast, she accompanied Liang Qing down the mountain to make arrangements.Although I can't help much, I can at least give him water or something.

The upper and lower sides of Jinglai Peak are clearly separated, and the lower part is almost all stone walls, with only sparse weeds, most of which are various sedges with small forks.The road up the mountain was carved out of the rock wall. It is steep but at the same time very stable, and it can still be used no matter how many hundreds of years it is left.

Su Wan was placed by Liang Qing on the edge of a low cliff, waiting for Liang Qing to carve on the stone wall.He stepped on a sword with the same faint green light as his pupils, and held a short knife in his hand. He swung it twice in the air, and several regular scratches appeared on the cliff wall, extending round and round. When it opened, a burst of white light lit up when it overlapped with the lines on the other end.

Wiping away the gravel from his body, Liang Qing went up with his sword and landed on a small platform where Su Wan was resting. He saw her sitting on the lawn with her legs stretched out in front of her, her hands behind her back, and her head facing each other. looking at the sky.The warm winter sun shone on her closed eyelids, casting layers of fine shadows, which were the eyelashes under her eyelids.

"Junior Sister, why don't you lie down in a cool place over there?" Liang Qing sat down beside Su Wan and looked sideways at her.

Su Wan's eyes were still closed, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Isn't it better to bask in the sun here than to stay in that dark corner?"

Liang Qing bowed his head and said nothing, Su Wan was bathed in the bright sunlight, and she had a taste of the tranquility of the years.He couldn't help imitating her, raising his face to the sun, so as to dispel the severe winter cold.

Taking a break from her busy schedule, Su Wan didn't bother Liang Qing, and the two of them kept quiet with a tacit understanding, basking in the sun on the small platform.

Liang Qing couldn't help thinking, Su Wan is really a multi-faceted person.Her skills in the competition are due to her cleverness and eclecticism; she turned a deaf ear to others' contempt, which is her detachment; after a near-death last night, she can still bask in the sun with a calm demeanor. It is said that she has a big heart, or an open-minded and optimistic personality.

Suddenly there was a "click" sound from behind, and the two opened their eyes at the same time and looked back, but found nothing.Su Wan wasn't that suspicious, and with Liang Qing around, she wasn't worried that something might go wrong.

After another moment of silence, she suddenly said solemnly, "Liang Qing, thank you for doing this for me."

"Actually, you don't have to come in person. Running around with me is tiring enough." Liang Qing said so, but in his heart he still wanted Su Wan to follow, anyway, he thought he had the ability to protect her.

Su Wan smiled, thinking that this cannon fodder is really worth it, she pretended to retort: ​​"I'm tired? Then you won't be more tired."

"How can this be the same?" Liang Qing really wanted to say that he had been traveling for a long time, and this kind of work wouldn't bother him at all, but was snatched away by Su Wan: "Don't talk about that, I won't come, who do you want to come, full moon?"

Liang Qing suddenly thought of that maid, and always felt that the way she looked at him made him inexplicably uncomfortable, especially when she met her last night, she kept pestering him, why couldn't she learn how calm her master was? Woolen cloth?

Seeing Liang Qing's frown, Su Wan quickly changed the subject and suggested, "It's getting late anyway, why don't you stay and have a light meal before leaving?"

Liang Qing was naturally willing, and the two went back along the way they came, and had lunch together at the table under the peach tree outside the small pavilion, which was where they had breakfast.Having said that, Su Wan really lived the best life among the people who were grounded, at least she was allowed to play in such a large area, and others were allowed to come to her, but the people outside Qi Xing and Yun Hu No matter how tense the fight was, Liang Qing kept it from her, and she had no way of knowing.

------------

At night, Gan Qi wiped a mirror in her hand by the faint candlelight in her bedroom.The silver mirror showed a strange light under the firelight, but the mirror image reflected by the surrounding scenery could not be seen.

Suddenly, there were two very light knocks on the door outside.

"Come in." Gan Qi said.

A man in white bowed his waist and opened the door, squeezed in through the crack of the door that just happened to pass him, and quickly closed the door.The flame moved slightly, and the melted wax oil rolled down silently like a transparent red coral bead, and condensed on the candlestick to form a ladder leading to the candle flame.

"Everything is well arranged." The man knelt in front of Ganqi, clasped his fists and said in a low voice.

Gan Qi responded without saying anything more, still focused on wiping the silver mirror on her hand, and it took a long time to realize that the man hadn't left yet.

"What are you still doing here?" she asked.

The man looked up at Gan Qi, then quickly lowered his head again, hesitantly said: "Master, are you going to see Su Wan again today?"

Gan Qi's light-colored eyes moved, she put down the object in her hand, and she turned to look at the kneeling person: "What do you want to say?"

The man raised his head eagerly, and said seriously: "I just want to remind Master that Su Wan is yours..."

"Shut up!" Gan Qi snorted, and the flame on the candle trembled.

The apprentice quickly lowered his head, knelt on his knees and kowtowed: "It's my disciple who is talking too much."

Gan Qi closed her eyes and twitched the corners of her mouth. She said, "Do you know how hard I endured it? When I saw her face, I just...remembered my Xiaojiu."

She turned her head away, forcibly suppressed the memories deep in her heart, and said with a sob: "For tomorrow's plan, I will not allow any mistakes. You just get up." She paused, then looked back out of the window, "Hurry up Leave Jinhan before dawn, and don't show up again until everything is settled."

"Yes!"

……

Gan Qi did not go to Qinshui Pavilion that night, but sent some disciples to guard Jinglai Peak. After Su Wan woke up the next day, these people sent her all the way to the main hall of Qixing to participate in the trial of the case.

There is a word that is right, that is "depending on each other for life".The moment Su Wan saw Yiqing, this word first came to her mind.She couldn't fall asleep repeatedly last night, and she was not in good spirits, but compared to Yiqing who had been in prison for three days, she was already in good spirits.

Yiqing raised her head and glanced at her, her face that had never been weathered had changed a lot, and her eyes were also a little cloudy.Su Wan felt pain in her heart, and forced herself to lower her head, resisting the urge to hug her.The little girl must have suffered a lot in prison, and when the matter is over, she must... Unfortunately, she couldn't think of any way to do it.

At this time, someone said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's start quickly."

Perhaps because she was worried that Yiqing would refuse to obey the order, the person who was pressing her shoulders suddenly kicked her knees, and Yiqing "thumped" to her knees on the spot.

God damn it, how painful it must be!

Su Wan immediately remembered the face of this bastard, and planned to beat him with a sack on his head one day.After cursing a few words inwardly, Su Wan took the initiative to walk to Yiqing and knelt down, straightened her back, turned her head and said to Yiqing, "We are two grasshoppers on the same rope, we both prosper and we both lose. Don't be mad at them, you Just treat it as a marriage ceremony with me, and just be angry with me."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Su Wan's lack of closure deepened again, and Yiqing was teased to show a smile for a moment. At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the whole world.

Seeing this picture, Gan Qi couldn't help pinching a mirror tightly in her hand. After being caught, she lowered her head and glanced at the object in her hand. She curled the corners of her lips, not caring about Su Wan's actions anymore.

"Everyone, I won't talk much about the scene. Now I invite you to watch the evidence that Liu Xiang and I have collected in the past few days." Gan Qi swiped the mirror twice with her index finger, and the mirror floated away as soon as she let go. In the middle of the sky, a white light burst out, and a scene was illuminated on the empty hall, showing the Sifang Pavilion where the dinner was held that day, and the time was marked on the lower left corner.

Su Wan thought to herself: That's amazing, this world still has such things as monitoring...

Everyone immediately stopped whispering, subconsciously held their breath, and looked up at the scene projected by the mirror in mid-air. Su Wan's tightly clenched hands broke out in sweat.

In the picture, Yiqing approached Sifang Pavilion step by step. Jiang Na was leaning comfortably on the bench. After noticing Yiqing, she stood up vigilantly and watched her climb up the stairs.

With her hands behind her back, Yiqing walked the last step in a leisurely manner, and then stopped, with a distance between the two of them not too far or too close.

"Do you know what you just said that shouldn't be said?" A very awkward sentence came out of Yiqing's mouth. While Jiang Na struggled to understand, Yiqing also lost some sense of shock.

Jiang Na pouted his neck and tried to be brave: "What should I say or should not say, I can say what I want to say, don't think that you can be domineering because you have a high cultivation base."

Yiqing sneered: "Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."

"It's not me who dares to act but dare not admit it. You, like your master, pretend to be a maverick all day long, aren't you just trying to please the public?" Having said this, Jiang Na suddenly understood Yiqing's purpose for looking for him. Smiling coldly, with one hand on his hips and the other leaning on the edge of the table, he raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you follow her example and take off your clothes for Grandpa to see now? Maybe..."

Before Jiang Na's wretched expression was ready to show his head, Yiqing kicked him in the stomach and fell to the ground on his back.It has to be said that Yiqing's distance is just right, she only needs to bend her legs slightly, and then stretch her legs forward, so that her long legs will not be wronged, and it will just kick Jiang Na's stomach .This time Jiang Na suffered a lot, he frowned tightly, hunched over and covered his stomach, unable to get up for a long time.

Yiqing didn't expect Yiqing to make a move at all... ah, it was Jiang Na who made such a ruthless kick, and she took it unpreparedly, babbling non-stop, her face turned pale from the pain, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Are you apologizing?" Yiqing looked down at him, not showing any intention of helping him up.

"You... are too deceitful!" Jiang Na spat.

Looking away, Yiqing raised her head slightly: "Okay, you will pay the price." As soon as the words fell, a person ran out of the screen, holding a plate of pastries, placed them on the table in Sifang Pavilion, and left in a hurry up.

Yiqing picked up a piece of pastry and looked at it thoughtfully, then her eyes changed and she stared at Jiang Na on the ground.She squatted down and forced the cake in her hand into Jiang Na's mouth. Jiang Na naturally resisted desperately, but was forced by Yiqing to stuff one piece of cake after another until Jiang Na was gone. vitality.

Seeing the same expressions of Yiqing and Zha Ziwei in the picture, Su Wan's facial features were distorted, and she felt it was too incredible.

The picture came to an abrupt end, and everyone who recalled it couldn't help being uproarious. Yiqing, who hadn't said a word, said forcefully at this moment: "This is not me, the mirror is fake."
