Heartthrob collapsed today 2

Tiancang County is located in the center of Qianshui Prefecture. It is a county with very open folk customs.Tiancang County will hold a lantern festival every three months. On the lanterns, as long as they are unmarried men and women, they can present concentric knots to those they admire on this day.

The location of Shenshui Palace is not too far from Tiancang County, but it is not too close. It took Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang all the way here for about five or six hours.

By the time they reached the border of Tiancang County, the sky had completely darkened.It was probably because of a shower of rain in the afternoon, and the whole sky looked extraordinarily clear at this time.

The bright moon is bright and clean, and the stars are dotted.

Although it was getting late at night, besides Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang, there were still many people walking on the road, and judging from the clothes these people wore, they were not natives of Tiancang County.

Fu Zhenhong thought of some rumors they heard on the way here, exchanged a look with Chu Liuxiang, and led the horse into the county.

They hardly rested on the way, and it was getting late now, so they planned to find an inn to stay overnight.However, the two went to several inns one after another, and were told by the manager of the inn that the inn rooms were full and there were no extra rooms to spare.

Chu Liuxiang asked: "Shopkeeper, is there any event going to be held in Tiancang County recently?"

The store owner is a man in his fifties with a mustache and small eyes, but his eyes are very shrewd.Hearing Chu Liuxiang's question, he didn't answer immediately, but first looked at Chu Liuxiang carefully, and then turned his gaze to Fu Zhenhong who was standing beside Chu Liuxiang silently.

Compared to the pure scrutiny of Chu Liuxiang, the shopkeeper looked at Fu Zhenhong with a bit of amazement and curiosity.

And more than ten seconds have passed, and the line of sight has not been retracted.

Fu Zhenhong let the shopkeeper watch, her expression calm and calm, and she was not affected in the slightest by the gaze.

On the contrary, Chu Liuxiang frowned slightly, and subconsciously moved his steps to block the shopkeeper's gaze from looking at Fu Zhenhong.

Only then did the shopkeeper look away, and after glancing at Chu Liuxiang, he moved the abacus in his hand and said, "Qian Yuanwai of Qian Xian Winery will hold a three-day competition tomorrow. The competition is divided into piano, painting, Wu these three things. The winner will not only get a unique treasure in the world, but also get the favor of Qian Yuan’s granddaughter and become the son-in-law of the Qian family.”

After hearing this description, Fu Zhenhong had a general idea in mind after contacting the people they met on the road.

On the surface, the competition held by Qian Yuanwai was to recruit capable people with both civil and military skills, and treasures were used as rewards for winning the leader, but in fact it was equivalent to a disguised martial arts competition to recruit relatives.

It is said that although Yuan Qian's granddaughter is beautiful in appearance, she has an unusually pampered personality.Not only is her heart higher than the sky, but she treats servants very harshly and contemptuously. It can be said that she has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and she never treats servants as human beings.Once, because a servant accidentally soiled her favorite skirt, she ordered the servant to chop up and feed the dog.

It was precisely because of this excessively cruel character that although Qian Yuanwai's granddaughter was beautiful and the Qian family was the richest man in Qianshui Prefecture, no one dared to ask for her.

Today, Yuanwai Qian's granddaughter is in her twenties. If she was an ordinary girl at this age, she would have already been married.Qian Yuanwai was worried about his granddaughter's happiness, so he did not hesitate to use the treasure he had treasured for nearly three years as a bargaining chip, hoping to use this method to choose a good match for his granddaughter with both civil and military skills.

Beauty, treasures, money, just these three things, very few men would refuse.

However, Fu Zhenhong recalled the men they met along the way, almost [-]% of them were almost sure that their real goal was not the beauty of Qian Yuan's family, but the treasure.

"What is that treasure?" Chu Liuxiang asked what Fu Zhenhong wanted to ask.

"A recipe." The shopkeeper replied.

"Recipe?" Chu Liuxiang was a little puzzled, what kind of recipe was it that attracted so many people to covet it, and the inns in Tiancang County were full of people who came here.

The shopkeeper said: "Of course, it is impossible for ordinary formulas to be loved by Qian Yuanwai. It is said that this formula can not only help people reshape muscles and bones, but also treat congenital hidden diseases."

Reshape muscles?Cure hidden diseases?

It was the first time Chu Liuxiang had heard of such a miraculous formula after traveling in the rivers and lakes for many years. Now that he heard the store's description, his first reaction was to doubt the authenticity of the formula.

The shopkeeper seemed to see Chu Liuxiang's suspicion, and said in a calm manner: "This recipe was obtained by Qian Yuanwai from an old genius doctor who was rescued many years ago. The old genius doctor passed away last month. How did Qian Yuanwai cook the formula, and now only Qian Yuanwai knows the formula."

"If that formula is really so miraculous, why didn't Qian Yuanwai use it for so many years?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

The shopkeeper replied: "Because the old genius doctor repeatedly emphasized that the formula must not be used indiscriminately when he was alive, so Mr. Qian never touched the formula. And I heard that the effect of the formula is also very limited, and it is only effective for young men. effect."

Only for young men?

Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows: "No one suspects that this formula is just a cover for mystery?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Young Master, I don't know something. Qian Jiuhong, a grandson of Qian Yuanwai's family who was born stupid, has gradually become sane after drinking the medicine prepared by Qian Yuanwai according to the formula. Now Although Qian Jiuhong's mind is still a little dull, he is no longer stupid."

When Chu Liuxiang heard this, she became serious and thoughtful.

"The shopkeeper knows these things so clearly?" Fu Zhenhong, who had never spoken all this time, asked suddenly. His voice was clear and pleasant, like a gentle evening breeze, reaching the shopkeeper's ears, which immediately made the shopkeeper pay more attention to him. A little favor.

The shopkeeper explained patiently: "Master, my nephew works under Qian Yuanwai, so naturally he knows more about some things than others." After he finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds, and Then he continued: "However, the matter of Qian Jiuhong is not a secret in our Tiancang County. You only need to inquire a little bit, and you will know."

Fu Zhenhong nodded slightly: "Thank you, the shopkeeper, for clarifying the doubts."

"Where is it, you are welcome, Master." The shopkeeper smiled at Fu Zhenhong. He glanced at the sky outside, and then said very kindly: "Master, you two can go to the Shilou Inn 300 meters away to ask about it." Ask, that is the largest inn in our Tiancang County, there should be spare rooms."

Fu Zhenhong and Chu Liuxiang went to Shilou Inn according to the store's recommendation, but unfortunately, there was only the last vacant room left in the largest inn in Tiancang County.

"We only have one Tianzi No. [-] room here." The waiter sat in front of the counter and yawned lazily. He looked very young, with delicate features, but there were dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept enough. .

Chu Liuxiang was a little embarrassed: "This..."

If there is only one vacant room, it means that he and Wu Hua will stay in the same room for one night.

Hearing this, the shop clerk raised his eyelids to look at Chu Liuxiang, and then looked lazily at Fu Zhenhong beside Chu Liuxiang. The moment he saw Fu Zhenhong's face, the shop clerk's eyes lit up, and the tired look on his face The color suddenly disappeared.

This monk looks really good-looking.

The waiter in the shop is a typical face control, and he is more patient with customers who are good-looking and pleasing to the eye, "Our Tianzi No. [-] room here is very large and has enough space, more than enough for the two of you."

"But..." Chu Liuxiang still hesitated.

In fact, if it was placed before, Chu Liuxiang would definitely not be so hesitant. He is a man, and Wu Hua is also a man, so why bother, plus he really wants to make friends with Wu Hua, and wants to be a confidant who can talk about everything Naturally, she is happy to be in the same room with Wuhua, but since what happened in Shenshui Palace, Chu Liuxiang has subconsciously paid attention to the distance from Wuhua.

"Young master, it's so late, I guess there is only our inn in Tiancang County with vacancies. If you continue to hesitate, the Tianzi No. [-] room has been given to someone else, and the two of you will have to stay on the street tonight." Already." The waiter said.

"Just book this one." Fu Zhenhong said to Chu Liuxiang.

"Okay." Chu Liuxiang nodded, thinking that he could spend the night on the tree outside.

Fu Zhenhong guessed what Chu Liuxiang was thinking, and after the two of them came to Tianzi No. [-] room led by the waiter in the shop, Chu Liuxiang took a step forward and said, "This bed is very spacious. Is Xiangshuai sleeping outside or inside?"

Fu Zhenhong's words immediately blocked Chu Liuxiang's words.

Chu Liuxiang looked at Fu Zhenhong.

Fu Zhenhong also looked at Chu Liuxiang, and looked at him calmly. His eyes were dark and beautiful, like gurgling water. Being watched quietly by these eyes, it seemed to make people forget all depression and boredom.

A few seconds later, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling, laughing at her awkwardness.With such a frank personality like Wuhua, if he thinks about something, it will make the relationship between the two of them worse.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang didn't continue to struggle with the subtle secret thoughts in his heart. He looked at the bed and replied, "Outside."

"Okay." Fu Zhenhong nodded.

Tianzi No. [-] room is the first-class room of Shilou Inn. Although it is not as good as Tianzi No. [-] room, the decoration of the room is very good. Not only is it large in size, but it is also divided into two separate spaces with exquisite carved railings and screens. , specially used for bathing.

After the shop waiter brought a few buckets of hot water, Fu Zhenhong went to take a bath first, while Chu Liuxiang sat on the stool and recalled the night when the jade pendant was lost.

The night the jade pendant was lost was the Lantern Festival in Tiancang County.

Chu Liuxiang was shopping, but unexpectedly ran into a young man chasing someone on a strong horse.Regardless of the crowd around him, the boy knocked down many vendors' stalls. Seeing that the horse on the other side was about to hit a woman and a child led by the woman, and the roadside stalls were about to fall down again, Chu Liuxiang flew up and supported He stayed at the stall, rescued the woman at a critical moment, and quickly carried the little boy away from danger.

However, although Chu Liuxiang saved the woman and the little boy, the bunch of candied haws in the boy's hand fell to the ground and was crushed by the horse's hoof.

Chu Liuxiang let go of the little boy, and seeing the shocked look on his face, he thought the little boy was frightened, but at that time he was about to speak out to comfort him, when the little boy suddenly burst into tears, wiping his tears and sobbing Weeping and saying that the candied haws are gone.

The little boy's clothes were shabby, and the woman was also wearing mended clothes. It could be seen that the two of them were living in a very difficult life, and the candied haws must be what the little boy had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Big brother... I... my... candied haws... are gone..." Chu Liuxiang still remembered the little boy grabbing his clothes and looking at him with pitiful eyes. Later, Chu Liuxiang bought a new bunch of candied haws for the little boy.

Chu Liuxiang carefully recalled the scene at that time, the jade pendant disappeared after he bought the candied haws and handed it to the little boy.At that time, he didn't think too much, probably because the little boy looked at him with too innocent eyes, as if he could see the end at a glance, without any conspiracy or calculation.And after he found out that the jade pendant was missing, he was unwilling to suspect a little boy. He would rather believe that he accidentally left it behind.

Coupled with the fact that the jade pendant itself was not particularly valuable, Chu Liuxiang had no intention of investigating it further.Thinking about it now, there is almost a [-]% chance that the jade pendant was stolen by a little boy.

Chu Liuxiang didn't know whether to lament that the little boy's eyes without any impurities were too deceptive, or to be angry at the murderer's use of the little boy behind the scenes.

Thinking of the person who designed to frame him for stealing Tianyi Shenshui, Chu Liuxiang's eyes darkened a little.

Right now, if he wants to find the real murderer, he must find the little boy and the woman as soon as possible. Fortunately, the little boy and the woman should both be natives of Tiancang County, and their accents are very heavy. It's easy to tell.

Tomorrow, he will go to ask the small vendors who set up stalls on the streets of Tiancang County. These vendors set up stalls on both sides of the street every day. There are many people who see them. They should be relatively well-informed. It is always beneficial and harmless to ask these vendors more. of.

As Chu Liuxiang thought about it, the sound of water flowing from the other end of the screen reached his ears at this moment.

The sound of rushing water was actually not very clear, and the sound was very small, but Chu Liuxiang had a keen sense of hearing, and any slight sound falling in his ears was equivalent to being amplified several times compared to ordinary people.

Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was a little hot.

Originally, he was thinking about the loss of the jade pendant in his heart, so he didn't get distracted to pay attention to other things. But after he cleared his mind, when he heard this voice, his thoughts shifted inexplicably.

Although there was nothing unusual in his attitude when he answered Wu Hua just now, but in fact, Chu Liuxiang was somewhat nervous thinking about resting on the same bed with Wu Hua.

In his eyes, Wuhua is still somewhat different from other men.

Almost all of his friends are as free and easy as he is, with no rules or restrictions.But Wuhua is different. When facing Wuhua, Chu Liuxiang always subconsciously restrains her usual casualness, and also subconsciously cares about her own behavior.

He didn't want to see Wuhua frowning, and he didn't want Wuhua to see his bad side.If someone told Chu Liuxiang in the past that he would deliberately restrain his words and deeds because of a certain person, Chu Liuxiang would definitely not believe it, and would even find it a little funny, after all, he has always been unrestrained.

But now, the truth is in front of his eyes.

In the final analysis, Chu Liuxiang felt that perhaps it was because Wuhua was too perfect.There is no perfect existence in this world, but no flower is.So in front of such Wu Hua, he hoped that he could leave a good impression on the other party's heart.

Hearing the voice from the other side of the screen, Chu Liuxiang picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of clear tea. However, the temperature of the tea was very moderate. After Chu Liuxiang drank it, she felt a little hot and her chest felt slightly hot.

He pursed his lips, stood up and walked to the window, opened the closed window, the trees outside the window swayed gently under the evening wind, and the gentle breeze blew onto Chu Liuxiang's face, bringing a trace of coolness to him. Gone was the heat in his chest.

Chu Liuxiang stood quietly in front of the window for a while, and only turned around when he heard footsteps.

After taking a bath, Fu Zhenhong was still wearing a simple snow-white monk's robe, and around his neck was a string of crystal-clear glass beads.

Perhaps it was because just after taking a bath, Chu Liuxiang found that the sense of emptiness on Wuhua's body had faded a bit, and the mist on her eyelashes seemed to be still wet, and she lost a sense of distance.

Chu Liuxiang once again truly felt that Wuhua was really pretty.

When Chu Liuxiang went to take a bath, Fu Zhenhong sat on the stool and read a book. It was not a scripture book, but a very common vernacular book.

After Chu Liuxiang came out of the bath, she saw the side face of the monk who was concentrating on reading: "Wuhua, why don't you rest?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

Hearing this, Fu Zhenhong turned her head to look at Chu Liuxiang, "I'll sleep after watching for a while."

Chu Liuxiang nodded lightly, "Then I'll sleep inside." In this way, Wuhua is also more convenient.

"Okay." Fu Zhenhong smiled slightly, and then turned her gaze back to the script.

The position of the bed was directly facing the table. After Chu Liuxiang lay on the bed, she turned sideways and saw Fu Zhenhong's back.The light in the room shone on Fu Zhenhong's body, blending with the bright moonlight into a warm halo, as if dyeing the cold white clothes on Fu Zhenhong's body into a warm color.

She didn't sleep well last night, and today she had to drive for another day. She should have a good rest, but Chu Liuxiang didn't feel sleepy at all.He just lay sideways on the bed like this, quietly watching the back of the monk reading the book, until the clouds gradually covered the moon, until the book in the monk's hand was turned to the last page.

Chu Liuxiang, who had been paying attention to the movements on Wuhua's side, closed her eyes immediately before the other party stood up and turned around, and quickly lay down on her back, pretending to be asleep.

His whole movement is done in one go, and the camouflage is also very good.

But the person facing him was Fu Zhenhong.

Fu Zhenhong naturally realized that Chu Liuxiang hadn't really fallen asleep, but looking at the man lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, Fu Zhenhong didn't say anything, but raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips curled into an extremely slight arc, Walk slowly towards the bed.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Chu Liuxiang's hand hanging on the inside tightened slightly.The whole room was very quiet, only the sound of the wind and Wuhua's shallow breathing. Under such an atmosphere, Chu Liuxiang suddenly found that her heartbeat began to speed up as the other party approached.
