Yanhui's mother's tomb is on a hillside outside the village. When the two walked up the hillside, the sun was almost at noon.
The temperature is a little hot, but it is at this moment that the sky is extremely blue and there are small flowers blooming everywhere. Yanhui took a deep breath, walked up the hillside, and saw the lonely grave that had not been swept for a long time. She stood silently for a long time, and then knelt down, not as serious as when others went to the grave.
It was her natural sloppiness, not overly respectful, but also polite.
"Mother." She looked to the side and saw that the other tombstone stood crookedly, not quite as upright as the one she knelt. She glanced at her mouth and shouted, "Old alcoholic." She kowtowed, "Your daughter is back to see you."
She carried a pot of wine bought at the village wine maid in her hand, lifted the lid, and poured it down in front of the crooked tombstone: "I'm lazy, so I won't pull the grass from the grave for you, look back anyway It has to grow out."
Tian Yao was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and finally couldn't help but dislike her and said, "Since it has come so far, why doesn't the grass in front of the grave refuse to clean up?"
"When my mother died, the family was so poor that I couldn't even afford a thin coffin, so I buried it on a straw mat." Yanhui wiped the words on the tombstone, "What if these grasses were raised by my mother? manage."
Tian Yao heard the words silently.
Yan Hui's mother went early, and actually did not leave much memories for Yan Hui, but Yan Hui still remembers the feeling of sitting next to her mother when she was a child while watching her sewing clothes and listening to her humming songs.
Since then, no one has been so gentle and guarding Yanhui.
Since Yan Hui's mother passed away, her father has been drinking heavily all day long, indulging in drunken dreams all day long, and Yan Hui has lived like a wild child. Even after Ling Xiao took her back to Chenxing Mountain, no one could replace the warmth that her mother gave her.
After sitting in front of the grave for a while, Yan Hui patted his butt and stood up: "Let's go."
Tian Yao turned to look at her: "Where are you going?"
Yan Hui felt in his pocket, and there was a key jingling inside: "My parents have worshipped, of course, I'm going to get the wages that I've worked so hard to earn some time ago."
Fengya Town is actually still a little far from Li Yanhui's hometown, but it is only half a day's journey to go with the sword. Yan Huixin said that anyway, the first time Yu Jian also Yu Yu did not care about the next two, three or four times. As long as Tian Yao doesn't ask her any more questions, she can pretend to be stupid and take Tian Yao all the time, anyway...
He doesn't bother her now.
It was already evening when Yu Jian arrived in Fengya Town, and the two seemed to be used to staying at the inn on their way. Although neither of them had been to this town before, they looked at the sign and found an inn with ease, and they stayed there after asking for two rooms. went in.
Yan Hui originally thought it would be a quiet and steady night of sleep. But he wanted to sleep until midnight, when he heard the sound of rustling from the roof.
It was as if one person was chasing another person, passing by her roof.
Then the two of them started talking on the roof.
According to common sense, she should not be able to hear these voices clearly, but as soon as she passed through the body with the mental method that Tian Yao taught her, she immediately heard the whispering voices on the roof into her ears.
"Xiao Shizi, Xiao Shizi, oh hey, just go back with me, don't look for it in the Central Plains, I didn't find anyone who came back, and I took you in. What should I do to explain to the Seventh Prince!"
"You can just say a few words. If I don't find my little aunt, I won't go back."
Hearing the child's voice, Yan Hui felt strangely familiar.
"Oh my little ancestor, you were arrested by the Taoist priests of Chenxingshan last time, but you scared the slaves to death. Anyway, you are all right, it's been so long, you haven't found it yet, so give up. The Lord will naturally send others to look for it!"
Hearing this, Yanhui raised his eyebrows, woke up temporarily from doze, sat up and leaned against the wall in a handsome posture.
"I don't, I have to find my little aunt before going back. There will be a solution in this town!"
"Oh my little ancestor! Come back! It's a big night! If there are Taoist priests, they will be caught!"
The footsteps of the two stepped on the roof, and the voices of the words were getting farther and farther.
Yan Hui touched his chin and smack the words he just heard.
Afraid of being caught by cultivators, it is either a monster or an evil cultivator. Just now I mentioned the lord, the servant and the little prince. According to this inference, it is appropriate to be a member of the monster clan, and perhaps a member of the nine-tailed fox clan. After all, there is no such seniority in the evil cultivator.
The little prince is going to find his aunt, so his aunt is... the princess
The nine-tailed fox princess of Qingqiu Kingdom.
Yanhui suddenly remembered that when Feng Qianshuo came to rescue her and Tianyao in Tianxiangfang before, didn't he say something when discussing the terms with Feng Ming - "Qingqiu Kingdom lost a nine-tailed fox princess. "
It seems that this is indeed the case!
This is really a big deal. But it didn't seem to have anything to do with her, Yan Hui pouted, yawned, and fell asleep on his own.
It was too early the next day, and Yan Hui took Tian Yao to the small silver building of Qijuetang in the town. She had to get some silver first, and then she thought about where she should take this dog-skin plaster.
The Xiaoyinlou of Qijuetang opened on the busiest street in the town. There were two burly men standing in front of the main entrance, guarding them with serious faces. They stopped and asked the people who were about to enter. When Yanhui walked over No exception, the two big men stretched out their hands and stopped her: "What are you doing?"
Yan Hui took out the key in his pocket: "I'm here to collect the money."
When the two strong men saw this, they were stunned for a moment, then immediately put their hands away, took a step back, and bowed to salute: "I'm rude, my lord, please come in."
A key can do such a thing, Yan Hui felt relieved, and nodded in a pretentious manner: "It's not so polite, get up." She glanced back at Tian Yao and smiled smugly at him, as if she was showing off herself. With a stern look, Tian Yao just glanced at her without any expression.
This kind of respect, he has received much more before.
Fang Tianyao didn't hold Yanhui, but when the other party waited for Yanhui to enter the door, the shopkeeper of the silver building rushed over and held Yanhui: "Sir, is this the one who sent us to the silver building to inspect the work?"
Yan Hui shook his head: "I'll come to get some money, and then I'll leave."
"Hey, it's okay." The shopkeeper responded repeatedly, "Sir, why don't you go to the backyard to rest for a while, and the little one will give you some money."
Yan nodded in response, and the shopkeeper led her to the backyard.
As soon as he walked into the backyard, Yan Hui heard a somewhat familiar voice in his ears and said angrily and sadly: "I can't find any news anywhere, something must have happened to my aunt!"
"Oh little ancestor, blah blah blah, don't read like that."
Yan looked up and saw two people, an old man and a young man, walking towards them, both wearing hats. The old man bent slightly and followed behind the child who raised his head and his chest, showing a humble attitude.
And that kid...
Yanhui squinted his eyes, and it was really a no-brainer. Isn't this the juvenile fox demon who was locked in Xinsufeng's cage
It turned out to be the young prince of Qingqiu Kingdom. It's no wonder that when a group of fox demons were locked in that cage, this young man seemed a little special, but it was the responsibility and bearing that the royal family should have.
Yan Hui's gaze only stayed on his face for a moment, but with the mentality of subconsciously not wanting to cause trouble, she hid behind Tian Yao, planning to avoid this little prince and not meet him again.
How could she want to hide here, but the other party didn't care about her mood at all. Yan Hui only heard a loud shout: "It's you!"
Yan Hui hid behind Tian Yao and let out a long sigh, this man is young, he just doesn't know how to avoid it, and passing by is actually a kind of gentleness.
The little prince took two steps forward, but was immediately grabbed by the old man behind him: "Ancestor!" The old man's voice was small, but his emotions were extremely tense, "That person has a fairy spirit!"
The little prince really stopped.
It's great to have someone pull.
Yan Hui whispered softly and stood up from behind Tian Yao. She glanced at the side, and was pulling Tian Yao about to leave quickly, but she heard the little prince muttering: "She is not the same as those immortals." Then she shook off the old man's hand and walked to her in three or two steps. , blocking Yan Hui's way.
Yan sighed back, hey, young man, listen to the old man's words so that you won't suffer.
He is a little shorter than her, and standing in front of her, he has to look up at her: "After that, I've been looking for you for a long time."
Yan Hui only wanted to sigh when she heard the words, she turned to look at Tian Yao, but saw Tian Yao staring at her with a subtle expression. Yan Hui didn't know what he was trying to do, but the shopkeeper who was leading the front shouted in confusion, "Sir?"
This sound made Xiao Shizi's eyes light up slightly: "Are you still from here?"
Yan Hui whispered softly and stared at the little prince with clear eyes and a serious expression: "This gentleman, I don't know you. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Xiao Shizi was stunned for a moment, and the lively expression on his face was a little dazed for a moment, and then he frowned: "No, it's you, don't try to pretend you don't know, I have always remembered your appearance and haven't forgotten it for a day."
Yan turned annoyed, saying that if you admit your mistake, you can just admit it, and you can be so strong! But she still acted calmly: "You have identified the wrong person." She turned her head and said to the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper, this son..."
The shopkeeper hurriedly responded: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you are probably really admitting the wrong person."
The shopkeeper's mouth is naturally very oily, and the little prince was stunned by three or two sentences, but he really believed the statement of admitting the wrong person. The old man next to him was pulling him hard again, and after a while, he finally pulled the little prince away.
Yan Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, he asked the shopkeeper, "Who are they? What are they doing here in the silver building?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied with a smile: "Sir, we not only open a silver building here, but also buy and sell news. Most of the people who come to this backyard are here to buy news. As for their identity, that is the buyer, the uncle who spends money, We don't dare to ask more."
Yan Hui nodded, because he wanted to find out the whereabouts of the nine-tailed fox princess through Qijuetang's news channel.
The shopkeeper then led the two forward, Yan Hui followed him two steps, and found that Tian Yao hadn't followed. She turned her head and saw that Tian Yao was standing in the same place, still with the same expression that let Yan Yan just now. He couldn't explain the subtle sense of the unknown: "Your peach blossom debt is too much."
Yan Hui looked at his expression for a while: "Tian Yao, are you...are you jealous?"
These two words seemed to hit Tian Yao's heart with a slap, his face tightened, his expression was solemn, and there was no more subtle look in his eyes: "You think too much." He walked over Yanhui in two steps, " That's not something I would do."
Yan Hui curled his lips, and his heart was right, but Tian Yao had said that he would never be tainted with love in this life. After all, how could someone who has experienced such emotional betrayal still fall in love with others.
If Tian Yao can still fall in love with another person, then the other person's charm must be dazzling, and Tian Yao... how much determination must be made.
Yan Hui asked herself, she really does not have such qualifications.
After sitting in the backyard of the silver building and drinking tea for a while, the shopkeeper took out the silver coins. Three ingots of silver ingots fell heavily into his hands, as well as a stack of general silver bills and a small bag of scattered silver.
Yanhui took these things, and only felt a sense of happiness that came from the bottom of his heart, and the warmth flowed all over his body. But before he could fully enjoy the numb feeling of getting a large sum of money, a silver ingot in his hand was taken by Tian Yao.
Yan Hui was stunned for a moment, furious, but he heard Tian Yao say to the shopkeeper, "If I want to buy the news from you, is this silver enough?"
The shopkeeper was also stunned: "This..." He glanced at Yanhui, but saw Yanhui grabbing the silver from Tian Yao's hand, holding the silver, then looking at him, saying, "I'm here to buy news too. Does it cost money?"
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat: "What do you want to know... The little one knows everything and says everything. It doesn't cost money..."
Yanhui touched Tianyao: "Then the question he wants to ask is the question I want to ask, and you answer him." She glanced at Tianyao angrily, and her expression was like saying, "You need to know. I'll help you with anything, but don't touch my money."
The shopkeeper smiled wryly, and couldn't help slandering, what kind of people were sent here...
However, Tian Yao seemed to be used to Yan Hui's actions, and his expression did not change at all.
The shopkeeper still maintained the dignity of a shopkeeper, and saluted the two of them: "This news does not belong to the little one, the little one will call that person, and what the lord wants to ask, you can ask. "
After the shopkeeper left, Yan Hui was still distracted by holding the silver and asked Tian Yao, "Do you want to ask about the whereabouts of your dragon tendons, there was no Qi Jue Tang twenty years ago, I guess they may not I know where your dragon tendons are sealed."
"No." Tian Yao tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, "I also want to inquire about the whereabouts of Princess Nine-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu Country."
Yan Hui was taken aback: "Why?"
Tian Yao glanced at Yan back: "Because the real fox can only be made with the blood of the nine-tailed fox."
Hearing this for the first time, Yan Hui didn't react yet, but after thinking about it carefully, Yan Hui felt as if he had been splashed with cold water in a big winter, and felt the chill to his bones. She turned her head to stare at Tian Yao in astonishment.
"You are suspicious..."
Tian Yao didn't say any more.
Yan Hui was so flustered that he was sitting on pins and needles.
