Chapter 298: Learning from the Masters of Jianghu
Shi Xiaoliu and the other two returned to the top of the mountain. That night, it started to drizzle.
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sat under the eaves and talked. Shi Zelan looked at the residences of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.
"We still need to prepare some thick leaves. I always feel that the residence of Master and Uncle will shine brightly one day."
Shi Xiaoliu listened to Shi Zelan's words and nodded repeatedly: "When the rain stops, we will go to pick the big leaves. This time, pick more and preserve them."
After listening to their conversation, Xia Yu sighed and asked, "Have you sent a message back to the sect?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time: "Yes."
They looked up at Xia Yu at the same time: "What's wrong?
What message did you receive? ”
Xia Yu thought about the news he had received and said to them, "My father and uncle won't be able to come back for a while."
"Does your father and uncle want you to go back to the sect first?"
Xia Yu shook his head and said, "It's very strange. According to common sense, my father should have asked me to go back to the sect first."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time. Shi Xiaoliu asked, "Did you ask your father the reason?"
"I asked, and my father said that he and my uncle might have to go on a long journey, and then they would come directly to meet us."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu: "Do you miss your family?"
Xia Yu was silent for a while and said, "My mother is in seclusion for cultivation. Even if I go back, I won't be able to see her."
"Where's your grandfather?"
My grandfather always puts the overall situation first. If I go back to see him like this, he will be unhappy. ”
Shi Zelan looked at him curiously: "Why have I never heard you mention your grandma?"
Xia Yu sighed and said, "Before my father and mother got married, they went into seclusion to practice, and they haven't come out until now."
While they were talking, a paper bird fell into Shi Xiaoliu's palm. When the paper bird disappeared from his palm, his face was full of surprise.
"Xiao Liu, what happened?"
Shi Xiaoliu took a deep breath, looked at Shi Zelan and said, "Some people have seen Uncle Beichen outside of Jiuzhou, but they haven't seen Auntie."
After hearing the news, Shi Zelan said calmly, "Fake news.
If I were told that I had seen my mother but not my father, I would have believed it to some extent. ”
After hearing what Shi Zelan said, Xia Yu reminded, "Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope. The people of the sect will definitely look in that direction."
"My master told me that as long as my father is in this world, he will definitely find a way to contact the people in the sect."
After Shi Xiaoliu pondered for a moment, he said to Shi Zelan, "You don't need to pay attention to such news as long as your uncles didn't pass it on to you."
Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu curiously and asked, "Is this the message Wanyu gave you?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "A new junior sister, I don't know where she got the way to contact me."
"The junior sister Wanyu mentioned?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head and said, "Sister Lan, send a message to Wanyu and ask her to help me find out the situation."
Shi Zelan nodded, she took out a paper bird, touched and pinched it carefully for a long time, and then reluctantly let it fly into the sky.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu released the paper birds, they each took out two paper birds and handed them directly to Shi Zelan.
"Sister Lan, do you feel much better this time?"
Shi Zelan smiled and said, "It's very comfortable, but you need to pass on more information back to the sect than I do. Is it enough for you?"
Xia Yu looked at the raindrops falling from the sky and said, "It's enough."
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "I don't have much news to send to the sect."
Shi Zelan sighed and said, "My master and Master Fenghuang are in seclusion, so I don't have much use for paper birds."
Master Fang Cheng and Master Ping Yang are concerned about Shi Zelan, but they each have their own things to do.
After Master Shanzheng went into seclusion, Master Fangcheng and Master Pingyang would send messages to Shi Zelan every once in a while to inquire about her recent situation.
Shi Zelan only reported good news and not bad news, and with Shi Xiaoliu by her side, she didn't feel there was anything to worry about.
After the three of them talked for a while, they became concerned about the news in the town and Yangzhou Prefecture.
Such a rain will wash away many things.
At the canyon, the prefect and the mayor rushed to the bottom of the valley, and under the leadership of two officers and soldiers, they inspected the place where the sword fight took place yesterday.
The prefect was very curious about the three masked boys. Brother Zhang and his companion said seriously, "They don't look very old.
If they hadn't shown up yesterday, we would probably have died here. ”
The prefect looked at the mayor and said, "If you find these three people, be sure to let me know."
The mayor said seriously, "Sir, I will arrange for people to look for the children of the surrounding herbalists."
The prefect also carefully looked at the sword marks on the mountain wall. He pointed out several marks and said to the officials around him: "This looks like a place where an ambush was set and the sword was launched.
The bandits from Yangzhou Prefecture should be the same gang as yesterday's bandits, and they hate the officers and soldiers very much, so they did not leave any room for them when they attacked.
Everyone has been asked to be cautious these days, especially when going up the mountain to investigate cases, more manpower must be arranged. ”
It was very wet above the canyon, and the investigating officers carefully looked around as they climbed up the mountain.
When they climbed to the top, they saw the traces that Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had deliberately not cleared away.
They looked again and again carefully, but because of the rain, they could only see vague traces.
After they came down the mountain, they reported the situation to the prefect and lamented, "It's a pity that the rain has washed away many traces."
The prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture was already preparing for the worst. He said calmly, "Is there anything else we need to check?"
The investigating officer shook his head and said, "Sir, if it hadn't rained, perhaps we could have seen something around the canyon."
The prefect left with his men, and the mayor saw him off to the carriage at the foot of the mountain.
He received a whispered warning from the prefect: "Don't arrange for anyone to go up the mountain anymore.
Secretly arrange people to go up the mountain, and also select particularly smart guys. ”
After the prefect and his entourage got on the carriage, the mayor and his entourage followed suit.
The mayor whispered to Brother Zhang who was traveling with him, "You two should not leave the town unless necessary."
Brother Zhang nodded and said, "Sir, I understand.
I just want the brothers guarding the town gate to help me keep an eye on the three people who are traveling together. ”
"You think they live nearby?"
Brother Zhang nodded and said, "The children of the herbalists are very smart. I heard that when they were young, they all learned from martial arts masters."
The mayor looked at him and said, "When the prefect asked me questions just now, you didn't explain it in such detail."
"Sir, this is just my guess. How dare I tell the prefect?"
