Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

Not long after Shao Erxue left, a painter he was not very familiar with sent him a letter.

There is only one sentence in the letter: In the corner of the city at dusk, I will meet you.

Su Shiqing felt strange: "Who asked you to send this?"

The painter shook his head: "I don't know."

After saying that, he left.

Su Shiqing thought about it and guessed that Jie Ao might have asked him to meet, but why did he ask him to that place at this time?Could it be that like Shao Erxue, she has something to give him?

Suddenly want to see him.

Su Shiqing didn't even tidy up, so he sneaked out of the Academy of Painting and rushed towards the corner of the city. He searched every corner outside the city, his eyes constantly looking for Jie Ao's figure.

The sky at dusk is gorgeous, and the clouds are like the water sleeves danced by fairies, changing their shapes and colors from time to time. The sunlight casts a layer of golden light on the sparkling river.

Su Shiqing walked happily along the city wall with her heart pounding when she was about to see Jie Ao.

What he didn't expect was that from the moment he left the city gate, there were people following him all the time.

In an unoccupied corner, he saw a man in black with his back turned to him.

"Is it... Jieao?"

He was squinting his eyes to see the man's face clearly, when suddenly, Su Shiqing received a dull blow to the back of the head, and Su Shiqing, who was defenseless, fell down and passed out.

Two men in black quickly stuffed him into a sack and carried him up the mountain.

Shao Erxue, who was still busy preparing paints in the palace studio, seemed to have a premonition, and suddenly the saucer in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap", smashed to pieces, and panicked for no reason.

Jie Tai, Master Shiti, who was at the side, stopped his paintbrush after hearing the noise, and asked, "What happened?"

"No, it's fine."

Shao Erxue shook his head, trying to drive away those bad emotions, and continued to concentrate on making paints.

Night falls.

Among the secluded mountain depressions, in the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a temporary residence hidden in an abandoned temple. Several people with red scarves on their heads and arms are constantly patrolling outside.

At this time.

A man in black wearing a gauze hat came to the front of the temple. A remnant stele stood alone, and two thousand-year-old red pine trees towered into the sky on both sides of the dilapidated gate.

The man raised his head and stared at one of them with cold eyes.

When the patrolman saw him approaching immediately, he asked, "Who is here?"

The deep voice of the man in black came from behind the gauze cap.

"The meticulous painting is a residual peony, away from the fire."

"Meticulous painting into residual peony" is reorganized into the word "red", which is the secret code of the Red Turban Army.

When the patrolman heard the person reporting his password and name, and saw that he was also wearing a red scarf around his wrist, he hurried forward to guide him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Li Huo, sorry for your disrespect, please come inside."

After speaking, he made a gesture of inviting in, and the man named Lihuo lowered his gauze cap and walked straight in.

When you come to the courtyard, there is a cleverly hidden mechanism in the corner on the right.

"Squeak" sounded.

Accompanied by a heavy sound, the old wooden door was opened, and there were stone steps leading to the ground. The sparks on the torches on both sides were blown left and right by the wind due to the sudden opening of the door, like the tongue of a violent beast. Similarly, the end of the stone steps exudes an eerie atmosphere like hell.

The man walked in decisively, and before he disappeared into the basement, the door was closed again.

At the end is a huge inner room that suddenly opens up, surrounded by dozens of tunnels leading to different directions, the whole room is illuminated by dozens of torches like daytime, hundreds of people are rushing forward and back, but it is not crowded at all, and good ventilate.

Standing on the last stone steps, the man looked up and looked around.

There are stacks of weapons hanging on the walls and stacked on the ground, including large and small axes, sharp knives, short knives, bows and arrows... There are also many bamboo handles for bows and arrows that are being made.

"Here we come, Lihuo."

In a corner of the basement, an old man with sharp eyes was sitting in front of the table, without raising his head, he was concentrating on polishing the bow in his hand with a file, and said to the man.

The man finally took off his gauze cap, revealing his firm chin, but half of his face was covered by messy bangs, making it impossible to see his true face.

"Yan Gong, how is the matter going?"

Sparks fluttered from the torch in the void, and the old man named Lord Yan stopped what he was doing, and secretly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Very smooth."

……

It was Haishi, and there were frogs and insects singing everywhere, and even unknown birds made strange calls.

Su Shiqing, who woke up faintly, turned over with difficulty, opened her eyes and found that the surroundings were pitch black, and when she looked up, she could only see a little bit of distant starlight, and the dark clouds even covered the moon.

A slight movement touched the wound on the head, and the whole head was shaking with pain.After waking up for a while, he realized that he was thrown into a pit, and an ominous premonition came to his mind immediately. He might have offended someone so he was thrown here.

Tomorrow morning is the hospital examination, what should he do?Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted for help, hoping that someone passing by would hear it and come over to help him.

"Help! Help! Come quickly!"

"Is anyone there! Help!"

He shouted and tried to climb up, but the pit was newly dug, and the soil was so loose and soft that there was no force point at all, and it was impossible for him to climb up by himself.

There are wilderness everywhere here, and it is late at night, no matter how hard he shouts, no one will come to help him.

The eager cry at the beginning gradually turned into a desperate cry, and his voice even attracted several hungry wolves, which kept howling at him from above.

He was so frightened that his feet slipped and he fell back to the bottom of the pit, and his feet sprained. The pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Tired of shouting and crying, Su Shiqing sat in the pit trembling weakly with her arms folded, looking at the pale moonlight above her head and the wandering figure of a wolf, a nameless fear welled up in her heart.

If no one found him here, would he starve to death and rot into a pile of bones?Will Shao Erxue come to him?What about Jieao?Will you come to him?

Thinking of this, Su Shiqing rekindled a little desire to survive, and then threw the two shoes and outer shirt out of the pit, praying that people passing by would find out.

At dusk.

Shao Erxue, who was finally free, wanted to come to the Academy of Painting to see Miss's little apprentice again, but she didn't expect that Su Shiqing was not in Dongzhai.

He looked elsewhere, but he couldn't be found anywhere, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.When he turned around and was about to leave the painting academy, he bumped into Luo Yong and Sun Peilin who were coming back from drinking.

"teacher!"

Luo Yong and Sun Peilin quickly saluted him.

Shao Erxue wondered, "It's so late, why are you two coming back now?"

Luo Yong said incoherently: "Tomorrow is the rest day of the painting academy...so I came back late, please punish me by the teacher!"

Sun Peilin also buried his head low, unable to see his expression clearly.

Shao Erxue stretched out her hand to signal them not to mind: "I'm here to find Meisheng, has he gone out to drink too?"

Luo Yong shook his head: "No."

Shao Erxue frowned: "This is strange..."

Sun Peilin heard that Gu Meisheng was a little flustered, even though it was in the dark, but Shao Erxue was still aware of it, so he asked him coldly.

"Pailin, have you seen Meisheng?"

Sun Peilin pretended to be calm and said: "If you go back to the teacher, the students only saw him once during class, and it seems that they went out after receiving the note."

"Note?" Shao Erxue narrowed his eyes, "What note?"

Sun Peilin shook his head: "Students don't know."

"Which direction did he go?"

"It seems...to the south of the city."

Shao Erxue sensed that something was wrong, so he left the painting academy without saying a word.

Sun Peilin looked at Shao Erxue's hurried back, still feeling a little guilty in his heart, but that was all he could do, and hoped that Shao Erxue could find Su Shiqing as soon as possible.

After leaving the painting academy, Shao Erxue immediately sent troops to search in two ways, inside and outside the city.On the other hand, he searched along the places Su Shiqing might have walked during the day, his whole heart was in his throat, and he kept praying that nothing would happen.

Day has broken.

Su Shiqing, who had exhausted all methods in the pit, slumped on the ground exhausted.There was not much time left before the hospital examination, he cried in despair and gave up struggling completely.

the other side.

After coming out of the ruined temple.

Jie Ao walked towards the city gate along the path in the forest that was submerged in weeds.Suddenly, he saw two wolves tearing a shoe and a pink coat not far away.

I thought it was some poor passing scholar who was eaten by wolves, so I wanted to detour, but the more I walked, the more I felt that the coat and shoes looked familiar.

So he turned back again, and after driving away the wolves, he picked up the shoes and tattered clothes and checked them carefully. They were indeed Su Shiqing's clothes and shoes. His heart beat violently in an instant, and his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar. to the feet.

"Gu Meisheng!"

Jie Ao frantically searched in the woods, his mind was in chaos, he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see.

"Gu Meisheng! Where are you?"

In a daze, Su Shiqing seemed to hear someone calling Gu Meisheng's name, the voice seemed to be coming from a distant place, he gradually came to his senses, and when he listened carefully, a familiar voice really came from above the pit.

"Gu Meisheng! Speak quickly!"

Su Shiqing immediately got up as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "I am here! Come quickly! I am here!"

Jie Ao clearly heard the sound coming from somewhere in the distance, with the help of the morning light and the sound, he finally found Su Shiqing who was trapped in the pit.

In the blurred vision, the yellow morning light shone through the pit roof, and Su Shiqing saw the tall figure in black, who was shrouded in bright sunlight, which was more exciting than ever...

"Jieao...!"

Su Shiqing broke down and cried.

Jie Ao's dark eyes sank, and his eyes were full of distress: "Wait, I'll pull you up right away."

Jie Ao found some vines and tied them into a thick rope, threw one end down and let Su Shiqing tie it to his body, and then pulled the other end to pull him up forcefully.

Su Shiqing immediately hugged Jie Ao and burst into tears, calling Jie Ao's name indistinctly.

Jie Ao hugged him vigorously, stared at him with eyes heavier than the night, and silently clenched his fists.

"Who is it!"

A cold voice rang in my ears.

Su Shiqing's voice trembled because of choking: "What?"

"Who threw you here?"

"I don't know... Yesterday I suddenly received a note asking me to meet, and then I was knocked out and arrested here."

After saying this, dizziness came to his head, Su Shiqing had no choice but to close his heavy eyelids, now he has no strength at all, only the strength to lean on Jie Ao's arms.

"What's wrong with you? Meisheng?"

Jie Ao looked at his pale face, his tone was very anxious.

Su Shiqing closed her eyes heavily.
