Chapter 12 Matchmaking
Ji Shuliu hid behind the bed curtain, lazily watching Qin Songfeng's confident expression when he was talking about martial arts, and suddenly heard his name, and quickly sat upright.
Sun Chengxiu said: "To be honest, don't be surprised. Brother Ji is beyond my expectations. At first I thought he wouldn't make a move, but after he made a move I thought he couldn't stop Changsha, and after blocking Changsha I thought he couldn't stand up to everyone Siege. Although I only took a few moments to look over there, I was amazed every time I saw it."
"How deep is his martial arts, where are his strengths and weaknesses?"
"If he fights alone, he is better than long and short. The advantage is that he can see the opportunity quickly, and he will be strong when he meets the strong. The disadvantage is that he does not have enough experience."
"You're right, he figured out some tricks yesterday, and he will definitely be stronger than the long and short ones in the future." Qin Songfeng smiled and patted Ji Shuliu on the shoulder, "But when he picked up the knife yesterday, he was not the opponent of the long and short .Shu Liu is the teacher we hired, he doesn't rely on martial arts for a living, and he enters the country a little slower than us."
"In this way, brother Ji is very talented."
Qin Songfeng turned his face and stared at Ji Shuliu: "I can see that you could only stand up to Changsha at most, but then when those people smashed doors and windows, you were so anxious that you stopped them regardless of danger, and then you made rapid progress. "
"Is there any way? You are all trapped far away." Ji Shuliu rubbed his head, "It's a fluke this time."
"Although it was a fluke, thank you very much. You can't know yourself and the enemy, and you usually don't have the idea of fighting fiercely, but your mind is pure, and you are determined to persist to the end regardless of the consequences. That's why you can survive several limits without giving up. To say this, Most people are worse than you."
He spoke solemnly, and Ji Shuliu suddenly panicked, his face was a little hot, and he turned his eyes elsewhere.
Qin Songfeng laughed: "What are you afraid of? I won't force you to practice martial arts. Anyway, you don't want to be a gangster. With your current martial arts, if your luck is not too bad, it is enough to protect yourself. I also count on you to make troubles for the Chisumen. All the children are taught well."
Ji Shu rolled his eyes, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried and steady footsteps from far to near outside, but it was Lu Yuyan who broke in.She squatted in the corner, nervously gestured "shh" to everyone.The room was quiet for a while, and then there were noisy footsteps outside again, and two servants carrying Zhou Peng also knocked on the door and came in.Qin Songfeng got up and nodded, Zhou Peng showed an apologetic smile: "You are welcome, please sit down."
Lu Yuyan said: "Pengpeng won, you found me." She still didn't forget to take a look at each of the two servants, "Xixi, Dongdong!"
Zhou Peng taught her: "Did you come in and ask Sister Sun?"
Lu Yuyan said obediently, "Brother Sun is good."
"Did you ask sister Qin... How is brother Qin?"
Lu Yuyan showed an expression of success in bad things, and raised both hands to wave to Qin Songfeng: "Sister Qin, hello!" She obviously could tell the difference between men and women, but she was just playing tricks for fun like a child.
Zhou Peng pointed to Ji Shuliu and introduced: "This brother is called Brother Ji. He and Brother Sun...Sister Sun helped Qin——Brother beat the bad guys away. You go and thank him."
"Ji?" Lu Yuyan tilted her head and walked over to look at Ji Shuliu. Ji Shuliu was still gloating at Zhou Peng's "Sister Qin" who followed suit, but when she saw her eyes, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.Sure enough, Lu Yuyan smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Ji."
"You're welcome!" She didn't call Sister Ji or Sister Ji, and Ji Shuliu was content and happy.
Lu Yuyan made a funny face, turned around and counted the number of people in the room, saying: "One, two, three, three... two, five. The count is over." She turned and ran out again.Zhou Peng could only say embarrassingly, "Don't take offense if you bother me", and asked the boy to carry him after him.
The two servants "Xixi Dongdong" seemed to be pampering her very much, and when they lifted the chair, they still had smiles on their faces, showing no sign of impatience.Zhou Peng seemed to have caught up with Lu Yuyan, and he took something to tease her, and his simple laughter rang out in the courtyard.
■
After resting for three days, Qin Songfeng thought he was fine, and set off home. Lu Yuyan was led by Sun Chengxiu on horseback.
There are many people walking slowly, not to mention the two children of Qin Xue and Qin Xiu. The distance that can be reached by a fast horse in one day will take three days, and they will stay in an inn on the way.Sometimes Lu Yuyan refused to speak, and sometimes she was lively and noisy. Sun Chengxiu had nothing to do with her, so she followed closely to protect her.
On the first day in the inn, Lu Yuyan rushed into every room and said "sleep well", when she went to the room between Ji Shuliu and Qin Songfeng, she actually called "brother Ji" and touched his face.Ji Shuliu quickly moved away: "Don't touch it!"
"What?"
"...Because it hurts to touch my face."
"Oh, brother Ji is afraid of pain, so he can't touch it." Lu Yuyan frowned seriously and nodded.
Qin Songfeng teased her: "Why do you call me brother, not brother and sister?"
"You're an idiot." Lu Yuyan covered her mouth and sniggered as a matter of course, "Because I'm an adult and I'm married to Pengpeng."
Qin Songfeng was stunned: "When did you marry him?"
"Yesterday's yesterday's yesterday's...well, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the day before..."
"who said it."
Lu Yuyan blinked suspiciously: "The bad guy said it."
Qin Songfeng had a complicated expression, as if he didn't know how to ask the question.Ji Shuliu imitated Zhou Peng's tone and dragged out his voice, "Yanyan, why did you marry him before I saw it? How did you marry him?"
"He wears red clothes and is the groom." Lu Yuyan gestured.
"Why don't you wear red clothes, as a bride?"
Lu Yuyan sat down on the ground, and wiped away tears exaggeratedly like when she just came out of the cave: "I'm ugly, and the bad guys won't let me wear it."
Ji Shuliu could only comfort her: "You are beautiful, not ugly. He is a bad person, so he won't let you wear it."
She was pretending to cry, but when she heard the words, she got up and said seriously: "I am beautiful, and I want to be a bride." While repeating these words, she ran out of the door, and Sun Chengxiu hurriedly followed .
Ji Shuliu glanced at Qin Songfeng: "Did you hear something mysterious?"
"It's a little strange." Qin Songfeng pondered, "Zhou Tai and Zhou Peng still think that Yanyan doesn't know anything, and they told me that they can't leak anything about the wedding. Don't scare her. If Rouge Ghost and his gang just want to kill Why do I tell Yanyan this without telling the Zhou family? What good is this?"
Ji Shuliu thought along with him, but he couldn't make any sense at all.After a while, Qin Songfeng continued: "Maybe the Rouge Ghost has ambushed the rear, but luckily they were wiped out this time."
"Who are their employers? Have you found out?"
"It's probably impossible to find out. It is said that Rouge Ghost picks up the business in person, and no one knows who the employer is except himself." Qin Songfeng's eyes flashed, "The soldiers will cover up the water and the earth. This time he is lucky. As long as he doesn't stop, sooner or later his flaws will be revealed."
■
On the afternoon of the third day when everyone returned to Qiyan Villa, Lu Yuyan yelled with a smile on her face: "Father! Mother!" She ran to an old couple waiting at the door, hid behind her father, and blinked at Qin Songfeng and the others.
Lu Bing and his wife are about fifty years old, their hair is half white, and the wrinkles on their brows are particularly deep.Mrs. Lu hugged her daughter to ask questions, Lu Yuyan answered in pieces, Qin Songfeng took the opportunity to say to Lu Bing: "Old Lu, this is a long story, let's sit in the room first." Turning to Ji Shuliu, "Go back and rest Bar."
Ji Shuliu looked at Sun Chengxiu, who was still in good spirits, and felt a little embarrassed, but he was really tired, so he said hello to Lu Bing and went back to the room to take a shower to catch up on sleep.
In the evening, Liu Junwen happily came over to ask him about the battle of the Rouge Ghost. Only then did he know that Lu Bing and his wife were going to wait another day and leave for home the day after tomorrow. Qin Songfeng was afraid of another accident, so he asked Liu Junwen to bring a few rulers with rich experience in the world. Sumen disciples and Sun Chengxiu followed and protected.
Ji Shuliu thought for a long time before going to bed, hesitated for a long time the next day, and finally made up his mind to find Sun Chengxiu.He got to know her a lot along the way, but the more he got to know her, the more ashamed he became, the more unbearable the pressure in his heart, and he could no longer pretend to be nonchalant.
He quietly called her to a corner of the backyard of Qiyan Villa.
"Sorry." He had thought a lot before, but he only had the courage to say this when facing her.
Sun Chengxiu asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"
"Your enemy is like a brother to me, like a father. The so-called father's debt is paid by the son. Although the dead cannot be resurrected, I should always say sorry to you." Ji Shuliu tried hard not to lower his head, but he didn't dare to look directly at her. face, "If you can use me in the future, I will do my best to make up for it."
"Forget it, it's none of your business, I won't take my anger out on you."
"I heard about his murder methods later, it was really shocking. I never considered your feelings at the beginning, there is indeed something selfish..."
Sun Chengxiu interrupted him: "You mean you stopped them from insulting Li Xiao's body?"
Ji Shuliu nodded.
"Then you don't need to apologize. Although I didn't object in person, I don't agree with them in my heart."
Ji Shuliu was slightly surprised, he thought that everyone just wanted to eat Li Xiao's flesh and blood that day.
Sun Chengxiu looked at him calmly: "I hate Li Xiao, but I just want to take his life, and I don't want to humiliate his corpse. My parents died in a terrible way before, their hearts and lungs were cut out and torn, and my grandparents endured the grief to collect their remains. But for fear of scaring me, I didn’t let me see them for the last time. Since then, I have hated this kind of humiliation of human corpses, even the murderer’s own corpse.”
After she spoke, tears flashed faintly in her eyes, and Ji Shuliu's heart trembled slightly when she heard it: "I understand that this debt is difficult to repay, and what I can do is just a drop in the bucket."
"This kind of unresolvable grievance will only increase your troubles, so don't mention it again." Sun Chengxiu shook his head and returned to his usual calm look, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Now you are a member of Chisumen, Since Second Brother Qin believes in you, and I believe in you too, let's pretend we just met a few days ago."
Ji Shuliu bowed solemnly: "Thank you."
Before Sun Chengxiu could speak, Qin Songfeng's smiling voice sounded: "What are you talking about hiding there?"
Ji Shuliu touched his head guiltyly: "It's just... chatting. I'll ask about the world."
Qin Songfeng came over and said to Sun Chengxiu: "Last time you said you were going to trouble You Jinbao? With whom?"
Sun Chengxiu looked at Qin Songfeng's face in confusion, and announced a few names.
"They are all young people who have just debuted in the past two years. They are not very familiar with you. Don't go." Qin Songfeng said simply.
"why?"
Qin Songfeng's face became more and more serious: "From last year to now, I have been ambushed three times. The first time was in May last year, when I was plotted against in a neighboring province, and I was hit by two poisonous arrows, with the 'Drunk Sun' on the arrows." Soul robbery'. That group of people chased and killed me all the way for nine days, and they didn't give up until near Qiyan Villa."
Sun Chengxiu changed color: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! That's how you and Brother Ji knew each other?"
Qin Songfeng nodded: "Thanks to Shu Liu's timely arrival, the poison was under control. A few days later, I encountered a second ambush near Qiyan Villa, and it was Chang Sha who did it." He patted Ji Shuliu's Shoulder, "At that time, he was the only one beside me, and it was thanks to him that he blocked me for a while."
"Is that the third time a few days ago?"
"Yes, in the past year I have been more careful in doing things. They may not be able to ambush, so they lured me into the trap with great fanfare."
Sun Chengxiu frowned: "You seldom offend people, almost never encountered such a thing before, who wants to attack you?"
"I still don't have a clue yet." Qin Songfeng stared at her sternly, "You have to be extra careful recently. Many people in the world know that you are close to me, and this time you helped me defeat Rouge Ghost and the others, in case As soon as they get their head around you it's bad."
Sun Chengxiu thought for a while, and said firmly: "I still want to go. If someone really wants to plot against me, no matter where I am, I can find a way, just like this time they tricked you to Zhou Tai's house. But I will go to Shanxi later. Be careful. If there's a conspiracy, I'd rather expose it straight away than wait for them to do it again."
Qin Songfeng encouraged him when he heard the words: "It's good if you have the courage. Be careful on the road, try to rest at Lu's hometown for a few days, and pay attention to maintaining your strength."
Sun Chengxiu agreed with a smile, and discussed with Qin Songfeng about the sword technique. Ji Shuliu followed the martial arts rules to avoid it, and only heard a few irrelevant discussions before leaving.He felt a little strange, Qin Songfeng was more familiar with the Sun family's sword skills than Sun Chengxiu himself.
Those two were obsessed with martial arts, and they forgot the time when they stood there talking. Ji Shuliu didn't come over to call them away until dinner was served in the evening.
There were plenty of dishes on this day, and Qin Songming and his wife came out to see Lu Bing's family and Sun Chengxiu off together.Most of them are from the rivers and lakes, so they sat around a big table with Qian Rui and Ji Shuliu. Mrs. Lu, Lu Yuyan, Qin Xue, Qin Songfeng and Sun Chengxiu accompanied each other, and Liu Junwen was in charge of pouring wine.
Because Qin Songfeng's injury is still not healed, his brothers and sisters-in-law did not allow him to drink a drop of wine, and Lu Bing was taken care of by Qin Songming and Qian Rui.Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wu are smiling, chatting softly with Mrs. Lu and Sun Chengxiu, teasing Lu Yuyan from time to time, no one is left out.
After eating almost, Ji Shuliu focused on listening to Qian Rui's recent rumors.That man named You Jinbao was really cruel, and he committed several evil deeds one after another. A few days ago, just because he thought that a good sword was too expensive, he actually cut off the swordsmith's hands and feet, and took the sword away.
This side was frightened, but Wu Shi and Mrs. Lu's laughter came from the opposite side, and Lu Yuyan also laughed foolishly. Ji Shuliu focused his mind on that side, and found that they were talking about interesting stories about their children when they were young.
Sun Chengxiu was also attracted by those interesting stories, and looking at them, Wu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Sister Sun, is there any son in the world who falls in love with you?"
Sun Chengxiu said: "I haven't met him yet."
Mrs. Wu blinked her eyes: "Why didn't it happen? I didn't notice it. My sister is so smart and delicate, I really don't know what kind of person is worthy of you. Do you think our Songfeng is enough?" He glanced at Qin Songfeng.
Sun Chengxiu poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to Wu Yaoyao: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your praise, but the difference between me and my second brother is too far, I dare not compare him. He was already famous all over the world when he was my age. Like I've accomplished nothing?"
Qin Songfeng also heard their conversation, and interrupted with a smile: "Sister-in-law, even if Chengxiu has a thicker skin, she is still a little girl, so don't scare her."
"It's done!" Qin Songming, Lu Bing, and Qian Rui clinked glasses loudly, covering the voices here.
Ji Shuliu could see that Qin Songming and his wife wanted Sun Chengxiu to be their new sister-in-law, but they couldn't see what Sun Chengxiu meant.He looked at Qin Songfeng, who was sitting next to Sun Chengxiu, and suddenly had a strange thought: Qin Songfeng's complexion is actually fair, with sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, which complement each other, and his heroic spirit is still elegant. How good would it be if he was a girl?
