[Sword Three + Martial Arts] No need to sigh in the floating period

In the secluded Peach Blossom Village, when the morning light is twilight, some people get up to cook with three cock crows, and the smoke from the cooking floats into the sky, blurring the vision.

Li Dazhuang's family finished breakfast, Li's wife was sitting in the yard picking up shoes, Xiaohu doll was staggering to play in the yard, and Dahu had already gone to his husband's house for class.

Li Dazhuang just wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves, just after chopping the firewood, he gathered it into a pile, and he could see two people coming from the entrance of the village far away from his waist.

The two men were each holding a horse, and as they got closer, their appearance gradually became clearer.

Both of them are handsome in appearance, and you can tell that they are from the Jianghu just by looking at their attire.One is wearing brand-new low-luxury white clothes, with a soft smile on his face, deep and peaceful eyes, and a sword hanging on the saddle beside him; He has a sense of neatness, his steps are steady and powerful, but unfortunately his left sleeve is empty.

Although Li Dazhuang is just an ordinary person, he has seen many people from the Jianghu, but he feels that the people from the Jianghu in the past are inferior to these two people.

Those two were very fast. Li Dazhuang's home was the closest to the village entrance. He was looking at people, and the other party naturally noticed Li Dazhuang's gaze.

The man in white took the lead to step forward, kept a distance and smiled at him: "Brother, don't take the liberty to bother me, the two of us have been on the road for several days, and the dry food is almost gone, can you Brother, please give me a bowl of water to drink?"

Hearing the sound, the lady of the Li family put down her work and came over. She was a little surprised to see two strange men standing outside the yard with their horses.

Li Dazhuang turned his head and said to his wife: "Jingui, go prepare some food and wine for the two heroes."

"Hey, I'll go right away." The lady of the Li family responded and walked to the kitchen.

Then he smiled at them and said: "The two heroes have had a hard time traveling, come in and sit down, I'm just a rough person, and I don't have much to entertain at home, so don't worry about the two heroes."

The man in white smiled and said, "We are the ones who bothered you, thank you brother and sister-in-law."

"By the way, haven't you asked your eldest brother's name yet? This is my junior brother Xiao Shaoying in Bai Yujing."

Xiao Shaoying nodded and said: "I am Xiao Shaoying, I am bothering you."

"Oh, don't bother, don't bother." Li Dazhuang waved his hands again and again, "The two heroes have such a good name. My name is Li Dazhuang. I don't dare to be the eldest brother. It's fine for the two heroes to call me by my name."

Li Dazhuang is only 30 years old, he is already the father of two children, and he does rough work on weekdays, so his face looks rougher and older than his actual age.

Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying are about the same age but not yet thirty, and people with profound martial arts also look younger.

Bai Yujing smiled wryly and said: "Brother is falsely older than us, it is not impolite to call him big brother. Brother Li hosted a banquet for us two brothers. If Brother Li insists on doing this, I am afraid we will not dare to eat it."

When Li Dazhuang heard this, he was at a loss in astonishment, wondering: "Don't, don't, if this is the case, then I will brazenly bear the big brother. Come, come, sit, there is no good tea at home, the two of you will just drink it Come on, I'll ask your sister-in-law to open a jar of peach blossom wine, which is a specialty of our village." When he mentioned peach blossom wine, Li Dazhuang looked proud.

Xiao Shaoying sipped her tea, said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

Li Dazhuang laughed and said: "The two heroes are too polite, the food and drinks are simple, I can only wrong you two."

Bai Yujing hurriedly said: "Brother, what did you say? The two of us have traveled all the way, eating and sleeping in the open air. Fortunately, we met a kind-hearted man like Brother Li. We have nothing but to offer a glass of wine to Brother Li." gone."

Xiao Shaoying nodded and smiled, "That's exactly what it should be."

Li Dazhuang laughed out loud.

The wife of the Li family quickly cooked some dishes and served a jar of peach blossom wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying looked at each other, and then Bai Yujing looked frustrated and embarrassed, and sighed: "To tell you the truth, my junior brother and I came out this time to find someone, but the sky is big and the earth is big. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack, I haven’t seen you for a year, I just hope he’s okay now.”

A trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of Xiao Shaoying's mouth, she poured down a bowl of wine, and said: "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for my senior brother, why bother so much, if I can't find my senior brother, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Seeing their sighing faces, Li Dazhuang hesitated and asked, "The juniors of the two heroes? But what happened? If I can help you just tell me."

Li Dazhuang saw that their eyes were clear and their bodies were upright, otherwise he would not have dared to bring people into the house directly. In just one short meal, he had already defined the fact that they were good people in his heart.

Taohua Village is far away from the town, living in the green mountains and green waters all year round, with a simple and kind nature, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is living in the Taohuayuan.Although they have seen a lot of Jianghu people, they are still not vigilant enough. They always subconsciously hope that the other party is a good person.

Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying explained their purpose of coming here in a few words, and they heard that their junior brother had appeared near here.In order to find some clues, they wanted to stay here temporarily for a few days, and by the way, they gave Li Dazhuang some money and asked him to rent a house for them.

After hearing this, Li Dazhuang made a promise. The village is not big, but there are hundreds of people. He is the strongest among the young people in the village. He is also the one who organizes the hunting every year. He seems to be a leader.The village chief also intends to let Li Dazhuang be the next village chief, which saves him a lot of effort.

Li Dazhuang went out for a while, and when he came back, he settled the matter.

The house happened to be next to Qiao Qi's. The original owner of Qiao Qi's house moved to the city. The house was big enough, and the two of them only needed to stay for a few days, so he asked people to live with Qiao Qi directly.He also asked those who had extra quilts at home to use them first, and distributed the money given by Bai Yujing to those who had quilts at home.

Li Dazhuang led Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying to the house, and their horses also walked together.

The distance between the two sides is not long, and it will arrive in a short time.

As soon as the three of them approached, they heard a cold and peaceful male voice reciting.

Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and understanding in each other's eyes.

Qiao Qi lived in a house with a small yard, and there were two small rooms next to the main house, one was the kitchen, and the other was used to store sundries.The contents inside were almost removed, so Qiao Qi tidied it up, made a few tables and stools, and used it as a classroom for classes.

A dozen or so children in the village sat obediently in three rows, staring brightly at Qiao Qi who was walking in front of him.

Paper and pens are not easy to buy, Qiao Qi has to buy a batch every once in a while.But when children start learning, they are so wasteful of paper that they are almost scrapped as soon as they are written.So when Qiao Qi taught them how to read, he first asked them to write on the sand in the yard with branches, and then wrote on paper after mastering the strength. When teaching them to memorize, he sat in the classroom.

The children in the village don't want to study for the number one scholar, but just to know a few words and fill their stomachs with ink.And Qiao Qi didn't really intend to be a teacher to teach and educate people, so he bought a few basic entry-level books, and besides teaching them how to write a few words, he would read the contents of the books to them on weekdays.

The children are also very happy. The husband is good-looking, and he can teach them to write and read to them. Although they don't quite understand the meaning of the book, they are already very happy listening to the voice of the husband.

A child shouted: "Sir, someone is watching you!"

Qiao Qi didn't look out, but frowned, and said lightly, "I said I'm not Mr., so don't call me that in the future."

The child covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Understood first, Brother Qiao."

Li Dazhuang's voice came over: "Hey, Mr. Qiao, I am Dazhuang, I have something to tell you!"

Qiao Qi frowned, and the children below covered their mouths and laughed.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Li Dazhuang grinning innocently at him.

Qiao Qi: "..."

When he saw the two people except Li Dazhuang, he just frowned, and then said calmly: "What's the matter?"

Li Dazhuang rubbed his hands, and asked nervously: "It's like this, Mr. Qiao, these two heroes want to stay here for a few days. Isn't your room still empty? I want to let them stay here with you." How many days do you want to stay?"

Li Dazhuang observed Qiao Qi's expression, but unfortunately there was no emotion on that blank face.

With a smile on the corners of Bai Yujing's lips, he showed full respect, and said, "This...Mr. Qiao, please excuse me, we will leave after staying for a few days, and I will pay for the board and lodging for these few days."

Xiao Shaoying looked Qiao Qi up and down unabashedly.

Only then did Qiao Qi look at them for a few moments, and said with a twist of his lips, "Got it."

Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying lived in the next room to Qiao Qi.

At noon, several women in the village came over with food, Bai Yujing took it with a smile, thanked them and gave them the food money.

He turned around and saw the pale Qiao Qi leaning on the door. He placed the dishes on the small table in the yard, looked up and smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao, are you coming to eat together? I heard it's their specialty dish." , Mr. Qiao is so thin, you need to eat more meat."

Qiao Qi walked over, took one pair of chopsticks, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Bai Yujing froze for a moment, then smiled and started to eat.

Xiao Shaoying asked while eating: "Does Mr. Qiao drink alcohol?"

Qiao Qi said, "Don't drink."

Xiao Shaoying said: "Mr.'s complexion is not very good, but are you sick?"

Qiao Qi said lightly, "It's just a cold feeling."

Bai Yujing said: "Then sir, you have to be more careful at night, after all, it's not summer yet, and it's still relatively cool at night."

Qiao Qi said: "At night, my doors and windows are closed tightly, as long as the windows are not opened to let the wind blow, it will be fine."

Bai Yujing hooked the corners of his lips and said: "People in the village respect you very much, I don't think anyone will disturb your sleeping at night."

As if a certain consensus had been reached, Qiao Qi finished his meal slowly, and said unhurriedly: "That's good, I'll eat it, you take it easy."

Then got up and walked back to the room.

At night, Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying each made a bed.

Turning off the lights, only the halo of the cosine moon shines into the room.

Two voices sounded in the silent night.

"It's him?"

"True, but it surprised even me."

"It doesn't look like he knows martial arts."

"What's your opinion?"

"I always feel that he is too weak, could it be a disguise?"

"I don't think it's a disguise."

“How come you see?”

"Instinct." How could that aura of despair be fake?

"...Could it be that the other party has fought against someone this year?"

"The Tang Sect's information has always been correct, maybe there is something wrong with them internally."

The voice suddenly fell silent.

Both Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying were disturbed by Qiao Qi's mystery. They searched for more than half a year but failed to find anyone, whether it was Miss Qiao, the killer child or the killer man.

In the end, they and Qiu Fengwu went to Shuchuan Tangmen to buy an information, but even the Tangmen couldn't get their names.

Tang Sect didn't ask for money, but made a condition with them, no matter what purpose they had in looking for Tangjiabao's killer, the design of Peacock Ling must belong to Tang Sect, and Tang Sect would not interfere in their affairs. Well, after they're done with it, they can't meddle in the affairs of Tangmen and Tangjiabao.

Qiu Fengwu originally refused, although the rumors were not confirmed and Ximen Yu died, but there is only a slight possibility that he could not let the design of Peacock Ling fall into the hands of other sects.

But after discussing with Qiu Fengwu, Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying agreed.

A month later they got a map and were ready to go.

Qiu Fengwu was going to go with them too, but Peacock Villa sent a letter to him, and then he hurried back, leaving Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying to find someone first.

More than a year has passed since the case of Di Qinglin and Ximenyu. They followed the map to Taohua Village, but the person they didn't want to meet first turned out to be that young man.

What surprised them even more was that the other party looked very bad, with a pale face, a thin body, and almost no color on his lips. When passing by his room, he heard coughing from inside.

It's only been a year, but the other party looks like he's about to run out of fuel. They all clearly feel the weakness of the other party's body. His current body, even a healthy child, can kill him.

And after they got here, they didn't see anyone else. Miss Qiao still had no news. After testing the people in the village, they were sure that only Qiao Qi had been here this year.

Xiao Shaoying seemed to say unintentionally: "Miss Qiao's surname is Qiao, and Mr. Qiao's surname is also Qiao, so I don't know if it is the same Joe."

Bai Yujing understood the meaning of his words, and said, "Maybe it's like the family name of the Tang Sect. Everyone in Tangjiabao is named Qiao?"

Xiao Shaoying sighed: "Who knows, even the Tang Sect can't find any extra information."

The next day, Qiao Qi clearly noticed that Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying were talking to him intentionally or unintentionally, and Qiao Qi ignored them and was not annoyed.

During the meal, Xiao Shaoying said: "Mr. Qiao, where is your family?"

Qiao Qi left without saying a word.

In the evening, Bai Yujing helped Qiao Qi bring hot water to the house. Bai Yujing said, "I don't know where Mr. Qiao lives. My junior and I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. When Mr. Qiao is free, you can come to visit us when you go to the south of the Yangtze River."

Qiao Qi pushed the man to the door and closed the door in front of him.

Bai Yujing and Xiao Shaoying have lived in Peach Blossom Village for three days, and the people in the village like them very much, and they bring some dried fruits and vegetables or peach blossom wine over from time to time.

Seeing the young girls frequently looking into the yard, Bai Yujing understood, turned to look at Qiao Qi who was sleeping on a chair in the yard, then sent the girls away in a low voice, and took the basket back to the kitchen.

As soon as he came out, he saw Xiao Shaoying squatting in front of Qiao Qi looking at him, and Bai Yujing followed his gaze to look at Qiao Qi.The pale skin was almost transparent, covered with a layer of light in the sun, and those smoky gray eyes were particularly obedient and quiet when they were closed.

It was only then that Bai Yujing discovered that the other party had an overly beautiful face, and he was actually not very old, and looked like a weak crown, but now the other party's frail body shrunk slightly, and that paleness actually made people feel distressed.

Xiao Shaoying kept looking at him, Qiao Qi didn't sleep well, he felt a gaze staring at him, opened his eyes suddenly and saw the person in front of him.

He blinked his eyes, his mind was a little dazed, and the blank look in his eyes was quickly replaced by clarity and calmness.

His face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his weak voice did not seem so cold, he said: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Shaoying curled her lips and said: "Aqiao, we have been here for so many days, you must know our purpose, we don't need to beat around the bush, can you tell us the truth?"

Qiao Qi said: "What's the truth? Even if I know what you want to know, why should I tell you? What have you to do with me?"

Xiao Shaoying smiled, and said with a look of surprise: "I thought we were already friends."

Qiao Qi glanced at him lightly.

The corners of Bai Yujing's lips curled up unconsciously.

Xiao Shaoying sighed, and then said: "Are you drinking?"

Qiao Qi didn't even bother to roll his eyes, he got up and was about to walk into the house.

Bai Yujing stood in front of him on the left, and said, "Mr. Qiao." He opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Without stopping, Qiao Qi went straight into the room and closed the door.
