After some turmoil, the Ping county government took over the tooth shop.Su Yanjun and others returned to the post house.

It was past three o'clock at night, and everyone was exhausted, so they went back to their rooms to wash up.Mu Xiyun looked at the little figure in a daze.This child gave him too many accidents, and the memory of his poisoning and detoxification is still lingering in his mind, so he should ask what happened.Mu Xiyun waved to him and led him into her room.

As soon as the little baby entered the room, she took off her clothes and went to bed, wrapped her small body in the quilt, only showing a pair of big eyes, and watched Mu Xiyun with a smile as she took off her crown and took off her outer robe.

"Xiao Liu," Mu Xiyun said hesitantly, "When I was poisoned today, did you detoxify me with blood?"

Gu Qingqiao was startled.At that time, the epidemic was approaching, and he was powerless to protect Mu Xiyun. In desperation, all available methods were regarded as life-saving straws. As for how to smooth things over afterwards, there was no time to think about it.Listening to his question now, I can only talk nonsense.

So he explained: "I don't know either. It was my father who said that I was bitten by a poisonous snake and nearly died. I met a fairy grandfather who gave me a pill. From then on, I was no longer afraid of snake poison. At that time I think, maybe my blood can detoxify, so I'll give it a try..." His voice got lower and lower, Gu Qingqiao pretended to yawn, turned over and pretended to be asleep.

This explanation was really speechless, and Mu Xiyun didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.Seeing that Xiao Liu seemed to have fallen asleep, even a little doll couldn't ask anything, so he went to bed and lay down beside Xiao Liu.

Gu Qingqiao leaned sideways, listening to Mu Xiyun's breathing gradually lingering behind him, then quietly turned around and looked at his peaceful sleeping face.The sleeping Mu Xiyun had a peaceful face, her long eyelashes covered her eyes, her lips were slightly parted, still a little childish.

Looking at that face, he couldn't help thinking of the 12-year-old boy in the lantern night.

On the Qingqiao that night, he was waiting for someone, but he saw the child holding the rabbit lantern at a glance.Although standing with a group of senior brothers, it can make people feel his alienation and loneliness.

There was a deep loneliness on that small face, for some reason, Gu Qingqiao's heartstrings were plucked violently, and he impulsively wanted to go forward and hug him, look at that face, when can it be warmed stand up……

Gu Qingqiao kept his eyes open, staring at Mu Xiyun's sleeping face, as if he could stare at her all night long.

A small spark flickered in my heart, but accidentally set the whole heart on fire.He imagined that he stretched out his hand and hugged the person in front of him... His breathing gradually became faster, and the burning desire was churning in his heart, as if it was about to overflow, but he didn't dare to move, as if, as long as Just being able to look at him like this is enough.

Finally couldn't help it, Gu Qingqiao stretched out his hands, which were a pair of small children's hands, and carefully touched Mu Xiyun's face, tears of bitterness finally gushed out from his childish eyes.

In the morning, when Mu Xiyun woke up, she found that Xiao Liu had rolled into her arms at some point, her breathing was quiet and long.The two buttons of the inner jacket were undone, and the child's chubby face was pressed against his chest, sleeping soundly.The body born of wood and stone also became softer and softer under the embrace of those small arms.

Quietly sat up, tucked Xiao Liu's quilt, and after a little washing, Mu Xiyun meditated in the courtyard of the post house.

The warmth brought by the child's soft body is still circling in my heart. Yesterday's fierce battle caused the spiritual power in the sea of ​​consciousness to rush through the meridians. The blockage in the past few days seems to have melted a little, and today's spiritual power flow feels much smoother than usual .Mu Xiyun's heart twitched, the power that had helped gather the spiritual flow emerged tremblingly today, guiding the spiritual power of the whole body to gather towards the sea of ​​consciousness.All of a sudden, the power of the heart circulated, and the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth suddenly came and rushed towards the body.

Su Yanjun stepped into the courtyard, and immediately felt this unusual flow of spiritual power.He took a step back and guarded the courtyard gate, protecting Mu Xiyun.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xiyun's heart suddenly moved, and with a clear whistle, it soared into the sky, causing a storm.Chixia was broken, and what he was holding in his hand was an ordinary long sword that Gu Shun gave him last night, and he swept it out with awe-inspiring sword aura.Su Yanjun shouted hello, and stepped forward with his sword in hand. Junzi's sword was warm and windless, but densely woven into a sword net, covering Mu Xiyun's sword wind.

Mu Xiyun's figure is nimble, her sword moves away from dragons and snakes, and countless sword winds gather into spiritual swords, wandering around in the sword net.

At first, the sword aura was clear and sharp, but it couldn't break free from the shackles of the sword net; gradually, Mu Xiyun's sword aura slowly deformed, adding a lightness and flexibility like cattail grass to the rigidity, straight to the The zhenqi of the sword net was also slowly guided and gathered, converging into a stream of sword qi, which actually used softness to control softness, turning the enemy into oneself.

Suddenly, the sword light disappeared, and Su Yanjun laughed loudly: "Congratulations, junior brother, there is another breakthrough in the realm!"

A group of people rode back to Yiyun Town, and Gu Shun took Xiao Liu back to the government office.Gu Qingqiao secretly sent a sound transmission paper crane to Zhang Jinjin, not long after, a middle-aged man came and led him out.

In the wing room in the backyard of the painting and calligraphy shop opposite the government office, Zhang Jinjin looked at the child in front of him with a suppressed smile.With the crackling of bones, the stretching and stretching of limbs, a six-year-old doll turned into a twenty-year-old youth in a blink of an eye.

Gu Qingqiao was in a cold sweat.The night before when he needed to fight, the effect of the medicine hadn't expired and he couldn't become stronger. This morning, he was trying his best to maintain it so that he wouldn't become a living person in the government office.Looking at the gloating Zhang Jinjin, Gu Qingqiao had deep doubts about the reputation of this profiteer.

Zhang Jinjin was still taking care of business at the calligraphy and painting shop, Gu Qingqiao changed his clothes, and walked to Moyun Medicine Hall alone.

Walking on the street, I heard the laughter of children in my ears.Holding a small crossbow in his hand, a man of half age imitated the sound of archery with his mouth, chasing a group of children across the street.

A small cock crossed his field of vision, and Gu Qingqiao suddenly recalled the scene a few hours ago: arrows were flying towards the sky, and the helpless Mu Xiyun hugged herself in her arms without hesitation, using her body Block all dangers.

"Fool..." Gu Qingqiao murmured, but was afraid for a while.If Su Yanjun hadn't arrived at that time, if Liang Chi hadn't had time to set up a protective barrier, what would have happened to Mu Xiyun?

The image of Yun falling to the ground on the eve of 50 years flashed across his mind, and Gu Qingqiao's heart clenched fiercely.

Walking absent-mindedly into the guest room of the medicine hall, Gu Qingqiao sighed and was about to pour a cup of tea, but suddenly his eyes fixed, there was someone behind him!

The teacup in his hand was thrown like lightning, and the person came in a flash, and the teacup flew out of the room with the tea, and smashed into the courtyard with a "snap".A long sword has been put on the shoulder.

Gu Qingqiao turned his head, his heart beating wildly, facing Mu Xiyun's cold eyes.

"You..." Mu Xiyun suddenly became hoarse, and stared at his face for a while, the disappointment on his face was fleeting.Immediately he collected himself and asked, "Who are you? What was your purpose in Shantang that night?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingqiao was stunned for a moment, and then belatedly recalled the conversation with Zhang Jinjin after returning to the inn from Shantang that night.

That night.

Gu Qingqiao was holding a masked cloth towel in his hand, holding a half-torn sleeve, and asked leisurely: "Professional merchants, are you in the business of medicinal materials?"

Zhang Jinjin asked without raising his head: "What's the benefit?"

"No good, I'm happy."

Zhang Jinjin finally raised his head and took a deep look at him: "It's because of that little fairy."

Gu Qingqiao didn't speak.

"Okay~" Zhang Jinjin dragged the tone: "It can be regarded as an expression of my sincerity. After all, I still have something to ask from you. It can be regarded as the current investment. But..."

"Ok?"

"Are you considering changing your face? Street stories say that you are the enemy of his master, if you meet him head-on," Zhang Jinjin glanced at the cloth towel in Gu Qingqiao's hand, "You can't always cover your face, can you?" ?”

For a rare time, Gu Qingqiao felt that the profiteer in front of him was indeed a little clever.

Although there are countless elixirs in the world that can temporarily change the appearance, Gu Qingqiao still chose a safer method.Southwest witch doctor Gu Ben is good at voodoo, and the use of Gu worms is not a problem. He only needs a few small face-changing Gus to change the shape of eyebrows and the length of his jaw, making Gu Qingqiao look completely different. one person.

When he came back to his senses, Gu Qingqiao smiled lightly: "I said before, I'm not an enemy."

The sound of the teacup being smashed attracted Liang Chi, and seeing the two men start their hands, he hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, junior brother, this is the drug dealer I do business with."

Mu Xiyun still put the long sword on Gu Qingqiao's neck, but she relaxed her hand, and said calmly: "A few nights ago, I met this person in the burnt-out shantang, and he acted suspiciously."

Gu Qingqiao immediately cried out aggrieved: "What is the fairy saying, you are allowed to go to the charity hall at night, so I can't go?"

Mu Xiyun choked up, unable to refute.

Gu Qingqiao stretched out his hand to push aside the long sword, bowed his face and said: "I'm going down to Gu Wanbo."

As soon as the name was uttered, Gu Qingqiao immediately felt a scorching gaze towards him, he did not dare to raise his head, and continued: "Although my cousin and I are just traveling merchants, we also worshiped under the name of Taoist Baishi when we were young. When he was young, he came to Yiyun Town with his master. He and an old man in Shantang used to be from the same town. This time, he wanted to visit his old friend, but he didn't expect the disaster of Shantang, so he made his own initiative to investigate. "

"Shantang?" Liang was puzzled, "May it be related to the child abduction case?"

"It's not entirely certain." Gu Qingqiao said with a straight face: "This case has been going on for too long, and it is impossible to review it, but the cause of death of the four children is suspicious, and Zhang San, who is guarding the gate, is likely to be involved in the abduction."

Originally, Zhang San’s crime of abducting and selling children has been confirmed, but because of the disappearance of "Xiao Liu", it is impossible to prove it.

After speaking, he went to see Mu Xiyun again.

Mu Xiyun had put the sword back into its sheath, but she stared at Gu Qingqiao's face without speaking, as if she was out of her mind.

"Junior brother?" Liang Chi gently pushed Mu Xiyun.

When Mu Xiyun came back to her senses, she had 1 questions in her mind, but she didn't know how to ask them.In the end, he just cupped his hands and said: "I was too impulsive and misunderstood you, young master. I'm sorry." After speaking, he opened his eyes, turned and walked out of the guest room.

Gu Qingqiao looked at his back, and for some reason, felt that he was a little...disappointed...
