"It's better for you to be cautious." Ji Sheng nodded, and the two retreated into the nearest alley together.

That position just happened to see the tree before, and if Xiaozhu came back halfway, there would be no delay.

The two took a final look, and then turned their eyes back to the iron box.

"Then I opened it?" Ji Sheng said.

"Open." Qi Wushen cast an affirmative look.

I saw Ji Sheng pressed his fingers on the top and bottom of the iron box, and separated it forcefully to the two sides. The deep red rust stains on the iron box fell off, leaving a lot of debris, but...

He let go of the iron box, and looked at Qi Wushen innocently.

"Can't open it, brother."

"Can't open it? I remember... It seems that the box is not that tight."

Ji Sheng stretched out his fingers and placed them in front of Qi Wushen, only to see that his fingers had already been crushed, and his rust-stained fingertips were congested with blood.

"Let me try." Qi Wushen rolled up his tight-fitting sleeves and clapped his hands, as if he was doing a big job.

He took the iron box from Ji Sheng's hand, and broke it for a while——

"It's really not possible." Qi Wushen put down his forearm and quickly accepted his fate.

Ji Sheng made a long "cut".

"The way you looked just now, I thought it was inevitable, but I didn't expect——It still doesn't work."

"Impossible, not impossible. How can a man say no?" Qi Wushen clapped his hands, brushed off the dirt in his hands, and returned the iron box to Ji Sheng.

"Put it away first, let's wait for Xiao Zhu to come back, and then find a way to pry it open."

"Pry open? This thing is an antique, aren't you afraid of hurting the bank notes inside?"

"There are always more solutions than difficulties, and we still have to try."

"So how do you want to pry?" Ji Sheng asked again, but Qi Wushen didn't answer.

The young man's eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes were fixed on the direction they came from, and his back was tense, like an arrow ready to go.

"Did something happen? Is Xiaozhu back?" Ji Sheng also leaned forward.

His position was blocked and he couldn't see clearly under the tree, but just as he poked his head out, Qi Wushen grabbed him.

"It's okay." Qi Wushen said.

"Then what are you looking at?"

"See if your pretty sister is chasing after you."

"..." Ji Sheng wanted to take a closer look at first, but he was no longer curious.

Qi Wushen said again: "Forget it, let's not wait for Xiao Zhu, you go first, I will borrow a pen and ink and leave a note."

"Okay." Ji Sheng shrank his neck and asked, "Why not together?"

"I'm afraid you'll recall some bad memories." Qi Wushen put on a perfunctory mouth, pushed Ji Sheng away and urged, "Go over there, wait for me at the alley, pick a place with a lot of people, see you later."

After speaking, he walked under the tree.

-

After half a cup of tea, the two met at the alley.

"Chicken, let me tell you something, don't be afraid." Qi Wushen said.

Ji Sheng hugged his Taoist robe tightly, and said anxiously: "What's the matter, can't they be chasing after you again?"

Qi Wushen shook his head: "No, they are not that persistent."

"That is?"

The young man sighed: "It should be your brother's people who came after him. I just saw two young men in purple clothes. Although they didn't wear fairy robes, their aura is very similar to your brother's."

The so-called famous families have requirements for training clothes, among which purple is the exclusive color of the Ji family, ranging from ordinary clothes to fairy robes, and what Ji Yuan is most passionate about is to train his disciples to be as unsmiling as himself.

Ji Sheng was still skeptical: "Are you sure it's my brother who came? Are you kidding me?"

"Is it interesting for me to play tricks on you?" The young man spread his hands, his expression serious.

Ji Sheng still had doubts: "But... didn't you say that they shouldn't go down so quickly?"

"So, I guess they descended privately."

"Huh?" Ji Sheng showed a shocked expression, "Going down to earth without permission is against the fairy rules! How could my brother be so crazy?!"

"Did you misunderstand your brother?" Qi Wushen asked back, "Isn't he already that crazy? Think about it, before we came down, he wanted to kill you with all his heart."

"..."

Qi Wushen continued: "At first I saw those sneaky figures, but I wasn't sure. I just left just to test it out. After I borrowed a pen and ink from the stall owner nearby and wrote a note, I returned to the street and waited. They really went up to ask. That stall owner."

In this way, it is almost a certainty.

"Ahhhh—" Ji Sheng howled, thinking that his brother's men had already chased him, maybe sneaking into his room one night, raising a knife in his hand, and he was in a state of madness.

Qi Wushen patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will go down to earth privately, without a letter and jade wat beside me, and I'm no different from ordinary people. Now they don't have the advantage."

He added: "If they found the house, they would have come to the house long ago, so I guess they just found us. What we have to do is to get rid of them, go back quickly, and don't come out in the near future."

Hearing his friend's words, Ji Sheng calmed down a little. Although Qi Wushen is unreliable, he is still credible when things happen.

He thumped his head, a little regretful: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on improving the food, I wouldn't have been discovered by them."

"It has nothing to do with you." Qi Wushen comforted again.

The food in their hands had already been eaten, if it wasn't for Ji Sheng, they would have entered the city sooner or later.

"Get rid of them first." Qi Wushen shook the box in his hand, "I just thought of a place where I can open this thing."

He made a gesture to leave, but was stopped by Ji Sheng.

"Xiao Zhu hasn't come back yet."

"Don't worry, he's smart. I pinned a leaf under the paper. The direction the leaf is pointing is the real clue."

-

The two walked out from the end of the alley, and within a few steps, the man in purple followed, but there were so many people on the street, the two obviously didn't intend to openly fight.

The two wandered along the riverside market, Ji Sheng's legs trembled several times, but Qi Wushen pinched the back of his neck and forcibly stabilized him.

When the boy made these series of actions, he was smiling and shoved from time to time. From the perspective of outsiders, it seemed that they were joking.

"Brother, can you stop laughing? The more you laugh, the more flustered I become." Ji Sheng shrank and said.

The answer he got was straightforward: "No."

Qi Wushen said again: "I observed all the way just now, they didn't dare to get too close, probably because they were afraid that we would find out. Now that we have found them, they still don't know that we have found out. This is an advantage. Keep going, don't panic."

Ji Sheng endured his fear, at this moment;

Snapped--

An ear-shattering Xingmu sound sounded from above his head.

He had already hidden something in his heart, and now he was even more surprised.

Qi Wushen also raised his head to follow the prestige, and saw that the teahouse was built by the river, with a balcony protruding slightly on the second floor, with the curtains blowing, a storyteller could be vaguely seen standing there, the scattered seats around and the private seats further away were crowded There were many spectators listening to books and drinking tea.

Qi Wushen's gaze was light, and he thought of a plan, he pushed Ji Sheng a few times, and whispered something in his ear.

Immediately after—

"Damn it." Ji Sheng seemed extremely angry, scolded "mother" heavily, and pushed his life on Qi Wushen.

The boy was unsteady on his feet, staggered, and retreated a few steps backwards.

just listen-

With a sound of "crash", Ji blue figure fell into the river.

"Someone fell into the river, he is dying, he is dying, someone come and save him!" someone shouted at the top of his voice.

The people passing by turned their gazes to the river, and saw the young man throwing himself desperately, the water splashing in all directions, and his movements were so large that people felt that he might sink to the bottom of the water at any time and die in Huangquan.

"Save, save people—"

"Who can swim, go down and save him!"

"Looking at the appearance, he is still a half-grown child. Where are the adults in his family?"

"Huh? Is the river this deep?" Someone questioned, but was quickly drowned out by louder voices.

Everyone gathered towards the river, their eyes were full of anxiety and concern, some even held onto the tree and stepped on the edge of the bluestone slab, trying to reach out to pull it.

It's just... the hair of the person who stretched out his hand was already gray, and he looked like he couldn't even take care of himself well.

"Wait, wait—don't come down."

wow-

Qi Wushen straightened himself up and stood up directly from the water, the river water he was thumping desperately just now did not reach his shoulders.Although under the action of water pressure, it should not be comfortable, but it is definitely not life-threatening.

"You're fine, you're fine, what are you fussing about?"

"That's right, it's a waste of other people's feelings here. You said that if the uncle encounters any danger, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Whose child is so ignorant? Really."

"I'm sorry, everyone, I've been afraid of water since I was a child, just now I fell into the water by mistake and thought I was going to die, so I reacted more." Qi Wushen made it clear that he opened his eyes and said nonsense, but there was no shame on his face.

Everyone saw that he was fine, so they didn't bother to investigate further, just blamed a few words casually, Qi Wushen also accepted it silently, without arguing, and even smiled and apologized from time to time.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, and the bustle of the market resumed.

Seeing this, Qi Wushen also walked towards the river. He went ashore along the slow-walking platform, leaned against a tree, and wiped the moisture from his clothes.

Seen from a distance, his movements were slow, and his expression was quite focused. He just shook his head from time to time, as if he was worried about his wet clothes.

On the other side, the two men in purple who were staring at them started to quarrel for some reason.

Qi Wushen looked around by shaking his head, and sure enough, Ji Sheng was nowhere to be seen.Obviously, the core of the man in purple's argument was whether to expose his tracks and stop him from questioning.

after all……

The target of the Ji family is Ji Sheng from the beginning to the end, and he is just a gift on the way to chase.

Hey--

Qi Wu sighed deeply.

Because of him, it's really embarrassing to cause such a big disagreement between the two who share the same heart.

That being the case, it is better to take the initiative to "help".

Thinking so, the young man pulled up his skirt, walked towards those two with a smirk.

The author says:

Qi Wushen said: Let me help them.

Qi Wushen said in his heart: Let the master add to the chaos.

-

Passerby: It looks like he is still a half-grown child. Where are his adults?
