As the sun went down, Banna came back with the sheep. As usual, she drove the sheep to the sheepfold first, but did not put the lamb in her hands back, but took it to knock Shen Qiao away. house.
Shen Qiao quickly came over to open the door, and when she saw Banna, she smiled and said, "You're back."
He let go sideways, but Ban Na didn't go in, and only probed at the door, for fear that Yan Wushi would go crazy like yesterday.
But the man just sat on the bed and looked at her quietly, his expression not as violent as yesterday.
Panna: "Has he fully recovered?"
Shen Qiao smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be worse."
Panna let out a sigh, and didn't dare to go in anymore.
Shen Qiao didn't know how to explain the complicated situation that happened to Yan Wushi, so he could only briefly say in a few words: "His brain was injured. Now he is sometimes awake and sometimes not awake, and most of the time he is not awake."
"Then is he awake now?" Banna looked at Yan Wushi curiously, and the latter also looked back at her, her eyes dark and unwavering, which made her tremble inexplicably.
Shen Qiao: "...not sober."
Panna was afraid: "Will you still strangle your neck?"
Shen Qiao: "It probably won't. He may be as young as a child now, and he can't even speak clearly. I was negligent last time. I won't let him hurt you again in the future."
It was the first time Panna heard this, and blinked at Yan Wushi.
Yan Wushi actually winked at her.
Banna: "..."
Shen Qiao: "..."
He rubbed his forehead.
Banna thought for a while, put the lamb in her hand on the ground, drove the lamb towards Yan Wushi, and said with a smile, "Then let the lamb play with him, the children in the village like little lambs."
The little lamb is white and flawless, looking at it makes people want to rub it in his arms, even Shen Qiao thinks it is cute.
But Yan Wushi frowned, watching the lamb who could not walk steadily walking towards him, lowered his head to sniff the corner of his clothes, suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed the lamb to the side.
The little lamb blew a sound, stumbled and stumbled a few steps and fell to his knees on the ground.
Banna could no longer care about her fear of Yan Wushi, and hurried forward to pick up the little lamb.
Shen Qiao also frowned and looked at Yan Wushi, but the latter returned innocent eyes.
"Panna, I'm here, you can do your work first."
After the little episode just now, Banna was obviously also having lingering fears. She nodded, said nothing, and walked away obediently holding the little lamb.
Shen Qiao: "Why did you just push that lamb away?"
Yan Wushi didn't answer, just looked at him.
But Shen Qiao vaguely understood something.
No matter a person's temperament changes or his memory is disordered, there are always some essential things that are deeply embedded in the bones and will not change. Yan Wushi has always been a suspicious person, even if he may only have scattered memories at the moment, this will not change. .
Shen Qiao said: "You stretch out your hand, and I will give you a pulse."
Yan Wushi stretched out his hand.
His attitude towards Shen Qiao and Ban Na were almost in stark contrast.
But Shen Qiao knew that it was only because of the other party's almost weird intuition, and knew that Shen Qiao would never hurt him.
Shen Qiao put three fingers on the opponent's wrist and asked, "Can you move your hands and feet now, can you come down and walk?"
Yan Wushi nodded: "active, dizzy..."
Shen Qiao asked tentatively, "You told me this morning that it's too late to go back to Chang'an, do you remember?"
Yan Wushi returned blank eyes.
Shen Qiao couldn't help but sigh.
"Why don't you just lie down and rest." Maybe after a sleep and wake up, it will return to normal
Even sneering at him is better than asking three questions like now.
Yan Wushi said, "I don't want to."
It means not wanting to sleep.
If it was an ordinary child, there would always be various ways to tease him, but this one was not a child, so he couldn't open his mouth when Shen Qiao spoke softly to Yan Wushi's face as if he was talking to a child.
While the two of them were staring at each other, a knock on the door rang.
Shen Qiao, as if receiving an amnesty, let out a sigh of relief and got up to open the door.
Outside the door is Banna.
She made the pancake and brought it along with the mutton soup.
The two said a few words at the door, Shen Qiao thanked her, and when Banna left, she closed the door and returned to the house.
Shen Qiao put the mutton soup and oil cake in front of Yan Wushi: "Are you hungry, just eat."
Yan Wushi glanced at him, then lowered his head quickly, and whispered, "Hello."
Shen Qiao: "..."
Yan Wushi didn't wait for an answer for a long time, raised his head to look at Shen Qiao, and said hesitantly: "Same as last time, dear..."
If he stuns the person now, will the other person wake up and change to a more normal temperament? Shen Qiao thought seriously.
Yan Wushi seemed to sense the danger, and the word "kiss" he had not finished swallowed into his stomach, and he shrank directly to the corner of the bed.
Shen Qiao sighed again, pushed the mutton soup in front of him, picked up the oil cake, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.
Yan Wushi then moved back from the corner of the bed, reaching for the soup bowl.
His meridians were damaged, his bones were sedated, his hands were shaking a little while he was holding the bowl, but he was obviously much better than when he first woke up.
Seeing that he lowered his head and slowly drank the soup, Shen Qiao was moved, and suddenly asked, "Did you just let me feed you because you were worried about the broth?"
In this way, the broth entered Shen Qiao's mouth, and even if it was poisonous, he would fall first.
Yan Wushi didn't answer, but his silence was actually an answer.
Shen Qiao should have felt angry, but he said calmly: "I don't know how much you remember, even if I said I didn't want to hurt you, maybe you wouldn't believe it. But Banna and her grandfather are both good people. Tian lives here, you still have to restrain yourself properly, so as not to hurt their hearts, and I will not let you hurt others again."
Seeing that Yan Wushi was still silent, Shen Qiao didn't know what to say, so he had to keep silent.
In the past, he thought that a person like Yan Wushi, as long as he was sincere and sincere, would have a day of success, but now he found out that he was wrong.
No matter what the other party becomes, what he will believe is always only himself.
The two sat at the bed and table separately, not far apart, but their eyes did not meet.
To be precise, Shen Qiao lowered his head to eat, but Yan Wushi was looking at Shen Qiao.
After a long while, Yan Wushi finally said, "Beauty, brother..."
Shen Qiao felt chills when he heard this title, and was about to open his mouth to correct him, but heard a movement in the distance.
He listened intently for a moment, then got up and walked out, not forgetting to turn around and explain to Yan Wushi: "You stay here, don't go out."
Panna also heard the movement on the other end, she didn't think about it, she just thought it was her grandfather back, and ran out to see it with a cheer.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, I saw a group of people rushing towards here from far and near, and the smoke was billowing.
There was no grandfather there at all.
Banna immediately remembered that the two of Shen Qiao were still living here, and suspected that the other party was coming for them, so she closed the door and turned around to inform Shen Qiao.
The opponent moved faster than her, restrained the reins and got off the horse, and took a few steps forward to kick open the courtyard door.
Panna let out a sigh, and was pushed back a few steps by the impact of the opponent's kick on the door, staggering almost to the ground.
But the retreating body was supported by a hand on the waist, and the retreat was stopped in time.
After Shen Qiao helped her stand firm, she released her hand and faced the visitor: "Who is your honorable driver?"
The person in the back got off the horse, stepped forward, pulled off the turban, and said to Shen Qiao: "This subordinate is rude, this little lady is startled, I was here to find you, there were many people in the inn before. Miscellaneous, don't talk about it in detail, Dao-master Shen is safe?"
Shibei should be impressed for three days. The person in front of him speaks politely, and even his smile is full of confidence. At a glance, he can see that he has been in the upper position for a long time and lives in a favorable environment. He is no longer the old man who has never read any books. There is also a thick and fine Chen Gong.
Looking at the people who came with Chen Gong, there are actually familiar faces here. Shen Qiao recognized a few of them. On that day, the experts from all walks of life in Sunrise Cloud Temple robbed the darts escorted by the Liuhe Gang, and there was Murong, the head of Qi Guo's Murong family. Qin, times have changed, and this expert who worked for the Qi court has become Chen Gong's subordinate in a blink of an eye.
Shen Qiao's eyes were taken back from Murong Qin, Tuoba Liangzhe and the others, looked at Chen Gong, and said solemnly: "This place is remote and lonely, Chen Xian Shang can still find it, but I don't know how he learned about me. whereabouts?"
Chen Gong glanced at Ban Na and said with a smile, "I met an old man, I think it's this little lady's grandfather?"
Banna was in a panic, and she still didn't know why, but Shen Qiao's face changed slightly: "If you have anything, just come to me, why bother the innocent!"
Instead, Chen Gong said to him in a soothing tone: "Don't be nervous, I just want to ask him about your whereabouts. Now that I have it, naturally I won't do anything to him. It's windy outside and it's hard to talk. You don't invite me in. Would you like to sit down?"
When Ban Na heard that her grandfather was arrested, her whole body went weak. Shen Qiao held her with one hand and was silent for a moment: "Please."
Murong Qin and the others were about to follow, but they were stopped by Chen Gong: "Shen Taoist is a gentleman, and he won't do anything to me. Just wait outside."
The dignified number one expert in the imperial court of the state of Qi, how arrogant that night at Izumo Temple was, in front of Chen Gong at this time, he was as honest as a mouse seeing a cat. Others are armed outside.
Chen Gong followed Shen Qiao into the room, snorted and said with a smile, "Why don't you see Sect Master Yan?"
The other party wanted to come and ask a lot of questions among the old people, but Shen Qiao didn't answer.
Chen Gong smiled: "We are old friends anyway. You are still kind to me. If I repay my kindness and revenge, wouldn't it be a human face and a beast's heart? So Taoist Shen doesn't have to show his face to me."
Shen Qiao said lightly: "The poor Daoist did not dare to take credit, for that small amount of credit, Duke Chen returned with a few boxes of cakes, and if Duke Chen was willing to show mercy and let the person back, I would definitely be grateful. "
Chen Gong: "There's nothing serious about people, and they will be released sooner or later, so don't worry, when I was in the royal city, I had something to look for you, but you left in a hurry, and you disappeared in a blink of an eye, so I had no choice but to go out. This is the last resort.”
Shen Qiao was silent.
Chen Gong didn't care about his indifference, he paused and said, "I'm here, I really have one thing, and I want to cooperate with Taoist Shen."
He changed his words: "It was rumored that Sect Master Yan was dead, but I never thought that he was still alive and saved by you. As far as I know, Yan Wushi is not good to you, but you repay your grievances with virtue, regardless of previous suspicions, and so on. The mind is really admirable!"
Shen Qiao is not a person who likes to ridicule others, but at this time Chen Gong threatened the old man, he was angry and couldn't help but reply: "There are many people in this world who repay their hatreds with kindness, how can it be strange to repay hatred with virtue?"
As soon as this meant something came out, Chen Gong's face changed slightly, and then he smiled calmly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and Taoist Shen has become sharp and sharp, and I don't know about those who surrounded and killed Yan Wushi. Master, if you knew he was still alive, how would you react? Daochang Shen is superb in martial arts, but if you can handle Yu Ai, can you handle Guangling San and Duan Wenyang? Not to mention the old monk Xue Ting."
Shen Qiao: "Does the so-called cooperation of Chen Xiangong mean these words?"
Chen Gong: "Of course not. Has Taoist Master Shen heard of Ruoqiang?"
Ruoqiang.
Shen Qiao recited it twice in silence, it sounded like a person's name, he shook his head.
Chen Gong: "The "Han Shu Biography of the Western Regions" has a cloud, out of Yangguan, from the close one, it is called Ruoqiang. This small country was later destroyed by Shanshan."
A person who didn't even know a few big characters last year, but now he can talk and laugh as he recites the "Han Shu", even if Lord Qi is faint, he will dote on a person, it must be that person's excellence, from this point of view , Chen Gong really deserves the favor of Master Qi.
Shen Qiao did not speak, but waited for him to continue speaking.
Chen Gong: "I might as well tell you directly, Ruoqiang produced jade. Although it was destroyed, the ruins of the ancient city are still there. Ruoqiang once produced a kind of chalcedony, which cannot be found anywhere else. I want to find it, as for finding it. Your cooperation, for me, your skill will be a great help. For you, where chalcedony is born, there is another thing, called cistanche, which can connect bones and grow muscles, and has a miraculous effect on internal injuries. , I think, Sect Master Yan should need it."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for Shen Qiao's reaction.
The inner room was quiet, only Banna's eyes were red and she sobbed from time to time.
Shen Qiao was silent for a while, then Fang said, "You were afraid that I would not go, so you hid Banna's grandfather elsewhere to threaten him."
Chen Gong calmly said: "Yes, I don't know what your purpose of saving Yan Wushi is. He has treated you like that, and I can't guarantee whether you are willing to take risks for him, but I know that you will not sit idly by as a human being. Innocent people are implicated by you."
Shen Qiao said lightly, "Thank you for understanding me like this."
Chen Gong: "So, Taoist Shen should agree?"
Shen Qiao: "Do I have any other choice?"
Chen Gong smiled and said, "It's really not. Don't worry, the old man is fine. When we get back, I'll let him go."
Shen Qiao: "You let him go, I'll go with you."
Chen Gong shook his head with a smile: "It's impossible, why should Daoist Shen say more? Only when the old man is with me, you can go with me with all your heart. Ah, yes, considering that Sect Master Yan may not be in good health, I have already He ordered people to prepare enough food and medicine for him, you can rest assured to let him go."
These words were originally a temptation, because Chen Gong suspected that under the siege of the five masters, Xin Yan Wushi would die or be disabled, and it would be difficult to restore the skill like before.
But Shen Qiao was noncommittal and didn't mean to answer, he could only say: "If there is no problem, leave early tomorrow morning, Murong Qin and the others must have settled down in their place by now, I'll go to rest first, I'll come to see you tomorrow. , you have a good rest, there is still a long distance from Ruoqiang here, you must rest and preserve your physical strength."
After saying that, Chen Gong got up and left.
"Shen Langjun..." Banna looked at Shen Qiao as if asking for help.
Shen Qiao finally smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to express my apology to you. This matter started because of me. I will definitely come back as soon as possible so that my grandfather can return safely."
He took out all the money he had left: "You take these, just in case you need them."
Banna shook her head: "I don't want it."
Shen Qiao said softly: "Be obedient, you stay at home, don't go far if you have nothing to do, I will definitely bring you Aye back safely."
Almost no one could resist Shen Qiao's "obedient" voice. Panna was originally terrified, but now she has gradually calmed down. She did not blame Shen Qiao for causing trouble for her family, because this understanding girl You know, Shen Qiao must be more than a thousand times more uncomfortable than her now.
She nodded: "You... be careful."
Shen Qiao gave her a reassuring smile and said only four words: "It will be fine."
Murong Qin didn't know what method he used, but he had already occupied a relatively comfortable house in the village. The original owner was forced to live in someone else's house. The people in the village avoided this group of people suddenly. Fortunately, Chen Gong was not interested in staying here for long. Early the next morning, Murong Qin was ordered to knock on the door.
After knocking three times, the door opened from the inside, and Shen Qiao walked out with Yan Wushi.
The latter has not walked on the ground for a long time, his hands and feet are a little stiff, and he has serious internal injuries. Every step he takes will affect the injury, so he walks very slowly.
That night at Izumo Temple, Yan Wushi came down from the sky and completely destroyed "Zhu Yang Ce", and even Murong Qin and others were humiliated by his poisonous tongue. It is inevitable to gloat over the misfortune and sneer: "Sect Master Yan must still remember the old friend of Izumo Temple, you don't look very good?"
Right now, Yan Wushi is like the public enemy of the world. All the forces want to kill him and then hurry up. Murong Qin will not take him in his eyes at all.
The other side was expressionless, and even his eyes were as if they had just been soaked in well water, and the ice cold went straight to the bone marrow.
For some reason, being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Murong Qin couldn't say more nasty words.
Chen Gong Shi Shiran came over, followed by many people.
He has a great style now. He is no longer a helpless teenager who was squeezed by his family's middle mother and resented leaving home. He lives and nourishes his body. When a person's status changes, his temperament will naturally change.
"Master Shen, can we go?"
Shen Qiao nodded.
Chen Gong said: "Ride a horse first, there will be a small town when you enter the desert, and then change your mount."
He was leisurely and leisurely, and he didn't worry that Shen Qiao would suddenly turn his face and refuse to recognize him. Not to mention that Banna's grandfather was still in his hands. Even if Shen Qiao took him as the hostage, the other party had a lot of people, and then he would take any villager as a hostage, and Shen Qiao would have nothing to do. .
Shen Qiao also understood this very well, so he did not act rashly.
"What do you want chalcedony?"
Chen Gong smiled and said: "I thought you would ask me yesterday, but I didn't expect to ask now. That chalcedony is very useful to me, but the ancient city has been abandoned for a long time, and I don't know what danger it is to go here. There is one more person. Naturally, I have a little more strength. Originally, I didn’t want to find you, but the hand you showed in the king’s city gave me a lot of confidence.
Shen Qiao didn't say any more. Seeing that the other party brought two horses, he said, "I can ride with him on a ride."
Chen Gong glanced at Yan Wushi: "What kind of injury did Sect Master Yan suffer? He looks a little stupid, and he doesn't even recognize him?"
Yan Wushi said coldly: "It's not that I don't recognize people, I'm just too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Climbing to a high latitude makes you think you're a superior person? In this seat's eyes, you are still just an ant's ear."
Chen Gong's expression changed, but he stretched out his hand to stop Tuoba Liangzhe's plan to use his sword behind him.
"Sect Master Yan is a real hero. He doesn't change his rhetoric when he is in trouble. I hope that when the Turks and Buddhists know that you are still alive, you can also say these words."
Yan Wushi laughed: "Gao Wei only taught you to fight in bed? If you don't agree, just let the horse come over."
Chen Gong frowned and was a little surprised. He wondered if the news he got was bad, Yan Wushi not only didn't die, he didn't even get hurt at all? All the five masters were deceived by him
Even if you know that this possibility is very small, it seems that even strange things will become logical for such a monster as Shang Yan Wushi.
Not to mention Chen Gong, even Murong Qin, Tuoba Liangzhe and others may not be without fear.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the Huanyue Sect's sovereign just standing there is enough to make everyone question themselves.
As the saying goes, wicked people have to grind with wicked people. No matter how powerful Shen Qiao is, he can't do this.
Chen Gong didn't waste too much time. With a wave of his hand, everyone was ready to ride.
Shen Qiao asked Yan Wushi to mount the horse first, and then sat in front of him to drive the horse.
When everyone was on the road, dozens of them rode slowly on the road, and the wind and sand covered each other's voices. At this time, it became extremely difficult to speak, and they would eat sand when they opened their mouths.
Everyone was reluctant to eat sand, so they buried their heads and communicated only by hand gestures.
Shen Qiao's waist was tightly hugged, and his back was tightly pressed against the opponent's front chest. Yan Wushi came close to his ear and said softly, "A Qiao, did I just say it well?"
As soon as he heard this gentle tone, Shen Qiao knew that this Yan Wushi was by no means a "normal" Yan Wushi.
He found that he was sighing more than ever before: "Is it Xie Ling?"
Yan Wushi was a little surprised: "How do you know my old name is Xie Ling?"
Shen Qiao: "..."
