Chapter 15 The Pearl Incident (1)
Because the hairpin conference was tight, it was difficult to delay the road more often, Chu Lei first tied up the demons and used his sword to send them back to the Shaoyang Sect. Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi were both injured and should not move too much, so he stayed in Lutai Town and returned to the Shaoyang Sect to watch the hairpin conference after half a month.
As soon as Chu Lei left, the children suddenly felt much more relaxed. The head of the Shaoyang sect was always serious, like a terrible stone. With him, the children didn't dare to let go of jokes. Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi left behind, one was funny and the other was humorous, and they had no airs, so the children were much more courageous.
Once the monster hunting was resolved, it was the children's turn to save the wronged mermaid.
After the hunters who followed them up the mountain came back, they spread the news that the demon had been eliminated. Of course, some of the residents in the town believed and some did not believe it. How could a monster that had been eliminated without being eliminated after so much manpower and material resources? What's more, the glass jar with a mermaid locked up was still displayed in front of the yamen. It is said that one of the demons who were causing trouble was hiding in the water, so it must be said that it was.
The hunters suffered from lack of evidence and failed to argue for several days, so they were too lazy to say it.
However, Xuan Ji slept for two days. After sleeping, Chu Yinghong became anxious and thought something was wrong with her. But seeing that her face was red and white, she asked someone to take her pulse and said that she was not sick. Why didn't she wake up yet?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Xuan Ji finally woke up at noon on the third day. Chu Yinghong, who had been taking care of her, was so happy that she kept asking her how she was in good health.
The little girl blinked in a daze, frowned suddenly, and sighed, "Aunt Hong, I'm so hungry."
Chu Yinghong smiled and said, "Of course you will be hungry! You have been sleeping for three days!" She helped Xuan Ji sit up and said, "What do you want to eat? Tell Aunt Hong, I'll ask someone to make it for you."
"Anything is fine, as long as it can fill your stomach."
Xuan Ji got out of bed and put on his shoes, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Where are Si Feng and Senior Brother Six? By the way, did you catch those two demons?"
While tied her hair, Chu Yinghong said, "I've caught it long ago! They are having dinner below. You've finished washing and go down to eat together."
At this time, Zhong Minyan and Yu Sifeng were indeed downstairs, but they were not eating, but secretly discussing plans to save the mermaids in the afternoon. Originally, Zhong Minyan was unwilling to get involved in this matter, but was moved by Yu Sifeng's long and strange tone.
Although they have the goal of cultivating immortals for their lifetime, they will never forget to be a hero. Now the mermaids are the weak and weak. The only people in the whole town know the truth about the demons. Isn’t it a great time to be a hero?
After all, they are still children and cannot be content with their own affairs. They want to do something big when they get the chance.
"Then, I'm sure!" Yu Sifeng lowered his voice, even buried his head, and looked mysterious as "We are discussing military and national affairs." "I'll go and pull them away later. Pay attention. You go over and break that tank!"
Zhong Minyan nodded repeatedly, buried his head with him and said that the heroic career was great, "If an official came to stop him, you can put a smoke bomb. I will leave with the mermaid... By the way, don't forget to cover your face. If you are recognized, it will be a troublesome!"
"You are right! You can't be recognized by others!" Yu Sifeng lowered her head and touched the small leather bag on her waist for a long time, took out two black cloths, and handed him one, "You one, I one. Let's take action after dinner!"
"What are you doing?" The crisp question sounded behind the two teenagers froze for a moment.
Yu Sifeng turned around and smiled reluctantly, "No, nothing..." Suddenly, she saw the person behind her petite, delicate and shiny skin. Who is not Xuan Ji? He couldn't help but be surprised: "You, you're awake!"
Xuan Ji nodded and sat opposite the two of them, "I woke up just now. What are you talking about?"
Yu Sifeng didn't really want to take her to act together, and the words she said last time were to coax her. After all, saving the mermaid requires agility. This girl knows nothing, and her best attitude is to drag her back.
So he thought about it and said hesitantly: "Yes... yes... yes..."
Xuan Ji clapped her hands and smiled, "Do you mean to save the mermaid? When? Can I be together too?"
She thought this was fun and didn't want to be lazy anymore.
Yu Sifeng looked at Zhong Minyan with a bitter face. Unexpectedly, his face looked strange, seemed a little nervous, and even stared at Xuan Ji with some fear. He said wonderingly: "What are you looking at?"
Zhong Minyan was slightly shocked, wiped her face and said lightly: "It's nothing... One more person and one more strength, it's better to take her with her."
Brother Zhong, this is not like your usual style! Yu Sifeng looked at him in surprise, but he nodded affirmatively: "Take it with me, take it with me. Otherwise, I will leave her alone and tell it to my uncle and the others, which will be even more troublesome."
Yu Sifeng had no choice but to make a promise.
Xuan Ji smiled and was about to pat Zhong Minyan on the shoulder, and said, "It's rare that you agreed so readily..."
Before he finished speaking, he shrank back in fear, as if she was not her hand, but the claws of some monster.
Xuan Ji was stunned, and Yu Sifeng was also stunned. However, Zhong Minyan was the biggest reaction. He coughed and felt a little embarrassed: "I...uh, maybe I was too nervous to catch the monster that day, and I haven't recovered yet... Let's have a meal! Let's take action after eating."
Is there anything on her hand? Xuan Ji couldn't help but look down at her hand. It was as small and soft as before, and it was no different. What happened to Zhong Minyan?
At this time, Chu Yinghong ordered the dishes and sat over and said with a smile: "You kids seem to be discussing some secret matters. When the head of the sect left, they were all happy like monkeys."
"Huh? Daddy has left?" No wonder he didn't see him. Xuan Ji suddenly felt an inexplicable relaxation.
Chu Yinghong nodded: "The hairpin conference is more important. As a leader of the sect, he is quite busy. By the way, I will go to the previous cave with the Lord of the Oriental Island in the afternoon. The Gu Diao disappeared for no reason. You must find out the reason. Just stay in the inn, don't run around, don't cause trouble, do you know?"
God helps me wait! The three children have secrets in their hearts, but they resisted not showing it, and nodded obediently. Now there are no adults in the family, and Lutai Town is not their world?
Sure enough, Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi went out early after dinner.
The three children redeployed the rescue plan in the house and gave the plan a name: the pearl incident. Because the tears from the mermaids crying will turn into pearls.
"The plan changed a little. Xuan Ji and I were hiding not far from the glass jar. Si Feng, you pretend to be an ordinary passerby. When everyone is not paying attention, use your finger-blinking skills to smash the glass jar. At this time, everyone will definitely panic. Si Feng, look at the right time and put out the smoke bomb. Xuan Ji and I took advantage of the chaos to go out to rescue the mermaids. We will meet in front of the lake at the foot of Lutai Mountain."
Zhong Minyan planned seriously, and while talking, he was drawing sketches on the paper. In the end, the three of them memorized what they should do, and Yu Sifeng gave Xuan Ji a piece of black cloth covering her face.
He tried it first, covered with black cloth, turned around and suddenly saw Xuan Ji staring at him. His face turned red and he stuttered, "You, look, what are you looking at!"
Xuan Ji tilted her head and looked at him for a long time, "Ah, when did you take off your mask? Didn't you say you can't take it?"
Yu Sifeng's face darkened, "The mask is broken. It was ruined by the demon." Seeing Xuan Ji's bright big eyes still nailed to his face, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and shy, "You, why are you looking at people like this! The girl from Central Plains is really!"
Besides, he had no mask on his face! She should have seen it downstairs just now, but she didn't react at all, which made him nervous for a long time, thinking that he was ugly, but who would have thought that she hadn't noticed at all! God knows what this dead girl's eyes look like on weekdays!
Xuan Ji stared at him for a long time. When he was about to be angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Si Feng, it turns out that you look so good. I like you like this, don't wear a mask in the future! What a pity to cover it up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent.
Yu Sifeng's face turned green and red, and now she really couldn't hold up a word.
After a while, he spit out a string of strange tone and weird words, probably in the dialect of his hometown. After saying that, he got up and left, walked to the door, waved his hands to them, "Hurry up, go!"
Xuan Ji followed slowly, and suddenly heard Zhong Minyan calling her behind her.
"Xuan Ji, you..." he whispered, with an indescribable emotion in his words, quiet and gloomy.
What? She looked at him curiously.
