Chapter 21 Turnaround(2/4)

The carriage rushed into a "Zhu Family Shop" selling fragrant powder and stopped in the backyard.

Yifei explained to Qiu Jiang: "I made an appointment with the little fox and sent Mr. Zhu here to pick him up at any time. I was worried that Mr. Zhu would arrive later than us, but fortunately I caught up."

Qiu Jiang stared at the shop, but her brows frowned slightly.

Hongyu, who was beside her, let out a few vague sneers.

Yi Fei glanced at her: "Why don't you kill her like this?"

Hongyu immediately became quiet.

Qiu Jiang said lightly: "The mountain falls, and the whereabouts of the wife must start with her."

Hongyu's face was sunk and stared at her sinisterly.

Qiu Jiang said again: "But it looks really annoying, let's knock it out first."

Hongyu was about to resist, but a knife was hit on the back of her neck, and she suddenly fainted.

Zhu Long took her out of the car, locked her into the woodshed, and then hugged Yifei and Qiu Jiang directly to the second floor. "I'm lucky. I just learned that Dongbi Hou was in Feng County, twenty miles away, and I had sent someone to invite her."

Yi Fei was overjoyed and said to Qiu Jiang: "It's so good, then your injury can be cured!"

"Marquis Dongbi?"

Yi Fei was about to explain, but when he saw Zhu Long said, "It's the incompetent son of Jianghuai."

Qiu Jiang showed a thought-provoking expression: "Young Master Yu."

Yi Fei exclaimed: "Do you recognize him?"

"Well, I know a little. But I don't know that he has been appointed as a marquis." Qiu Jiang said and coughed, and then coughed up a pile of blood foam.

Zhu Long hurriedly helped her lie down: "You can sleep for a while."

“This place may not be safe.”

"The more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Rest assured."

Yifei said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about?"

Zhu Long said: "This place is originally a stronghold of Ruyi Sect. Zhu Xiaozhao, the owner of Xiangfen Shop, is a disciple of Poli Sect."

Yi Fei was surprised: "Then why did you choose this?"

"He went to Yiguo to practice with the incense making master Ajiupo, but he hasn't come back for nearly a year. We are currently occupying this place, and the guys are all from Bai Ze, which is very safe."

Yifei sat on the couch by the window, and saw the street downstairs, with pedestrians on the street, which were very lively, and his eyes were filled with prosperity that was not inferior to Luwan. He couldn't help but sigh: "The willow waist is beautiful and romantic, and the cherry lips are everywhere in the beautiful country. Such a rich and rich city, singing and dancing to the peace."

Before it was dark, street lights were lit on the road, and red lights were reflected. You could clearly see the gambling houses and brothels, and business was endless.

In sharp contrast, there is the other side of the street. There is no light and it is densely packed like thatched huts and pigeon cages. Sewage flows across the narrow path. Many children run around barefootly, and there are also large, sturdy men with upper bodies walking in groups of three or five. When they see the children and the dogs, they will kick them, and wherever they go.

The Zhu Family Shop is like a door, separating two worlds.

Yi Fei, leaning against the window, looked at the two worlds quietly, his body was cold and hot, as if he was on a stove, wrapped in ice and snow and stewed together.

Occasionally I looked back at Qiu Jiang on the couch, Qiu Jiang was already asleep.

But her words echoed in her ears again: "How many years has this atmosphere been transformed? And how many years will it take for you to disperse in the future?"

He doesn't know.

Even before this trip, he hadn't thought about this. But what he saw and felt along the way made him unknowingly have some other thoughts.

A few ideas are difficult to do. However, because of the existence of a person, it seems that no matter how many years it takes, it can be tolerated.

——As long as you are with you.

When Yi Fei thought of this, he fell asleep unknowingly.

He had a dream.

I dreamed that my mother was on the sea and still refused to return to the land. So he stood beside the shore and said to her: "I will fill this dirty land with snow. When spring comes, the plants and trees will be resurrected. I will take you back with the green trees and red flowers as the way to bring you back."

Then, heavy snow fell.

The heavy snow covered everything, and the world was cold. When he walked in it, he felt cold and tired. Looking around, he saw that he could not find the way or the direction to move forward.

Just then, he saw Qiu Jiang.

Qiu Jiang was wearing white clothes and should have blended with Xue Jing, but her hair and eyes were so dark that it appeared in his eyes so vividly.

So he was overjoyed and waved to her: "Qiu Jiang—Qiu Jiang—"

Qiu Jiang didn't respond, she walked in a hurry and walked very quickly.

He remembered that by the way, her name is not Qiu Jiang.

So he shouted again: "Qi'er-Qi'er-"

But she still didn't react. Seeing her black hair go further and further away, he changed from joy to panic, and hurriedly chased after him: "Agate? Agate? Xie Liu? Xie Liu? Aqiu? Aqiu? Jiangjiang? Jiangjiang--"

However, no matter how he shouted, Qiu Jiang didn't respond, and then she completely disappeared into the wind and snow.

The snow water kept seeping in from the soles of the shoes, wet his feet, and the cold air kept climbing upwards, wrapping him up layer by layer like vines.

He suddenly realized-he didn't know who she was.

Yi Fei opened his eyes suddenly and broke free from the dream.

"Awaken?" A voice rang out beside him. Yi Fei turned his head and saw a pair of hands roasting needles on the orange candlelight.

The silver needle is slender, and the hands are white and clever.

Yifei couldn't help but smile and greeted with familiarity: "Meet again."

The person who was acupuncture on Qiu Jiang's couch was Dongbi Hou Jiang's night elephant. Last year, he came to celebrate his father's birthday as an envoy of the country of Bi. However, Yi Shu was greedy for him and asked him for a private meeting in the middle of the night, but he refused. Yi Shu was furious and falsely accused him of having an affair with his father's favorite concubine Luo Zi, and caused a big disturbance. I wonder if the trip to Chengguo made him very resistant. Soon after he returned to Biguo, he resigned and resigned from the court, and continued to wander around to see a doctor to save people.

When Yifei met him last year, he felt like cotton, warm and soft, and flawless. He seemed to be able to pinch and rub it at will, but it did not change its quality.

Seeing him goodbye at this moment, although he was much haggard and covered in wind and frost, his expression was firm, like cotton matted into small balls, with a dense outline.

He has seen countless wonderful people in his life, and others, including himself, are all ordinary things, but this person is extraordinary and like a banished immortal.

Yi Fei turned his gaze to Qiu Jiang on the couch. The anxiety and urgency in the dream seemed to remain in his heart. The candle shadow swayed, making Qiu Jiang's face look very unreal.

Who is she...?

"How was her injury?"

"fine."

"How good is it?"

"Although the injury is serious, she has a good foundation and a firm will. She can recover after resting quietly for half a year." Jiang Wanyi said as she put away the silver needle and stood up to clean her hands.

Zhu Long, who was standing beside him, looked at Yifei: "We have no half a year to delay." There is only half a month left before the ninth day of the ninth month.

Yifei looked at Qiu Jiang under the candlelight and pondered for a moment: "Then let her recuperate here, let's go to Luwan by ourselves."

"Can you rest assured?" Zhu Long was a little suspicious, "It would be fine if she lost her memory before. Now, you said that she has recovered her memory, so you shouldn't let her out of sight..."

"What are you worried about?"

Zhu Long looked at Qiu Jiang who was unconscious and said seriously: "After all, she is a member of Ruyi Sect, without moral integrity, cunning and changeable."

Yi Fei chuckled: "I know that the little fox has always been suspicious and never trusts others easily. But he believes in me, just as I believe in her right now. If you really want to be on guard against her, you might as well be on guard against me."

Zhu Long frowned and stared at him intently.

Yi Fei looked back at him with a smile, not allowing him for a moment.

The atmosphere between the two was a little tense. Jiang Wanyi rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I'll go get the medicine first." After that, she turned around and left, unwilling to stay for a while.

Zhu Long sighed: "Before leaving, the prime minister had an explanation, Qiu Jiangruo had been losing his memory, so he would forget it. Once the memory is restored..."

"How?" Yi Fei's heart sank slightly.

"Look at her and wait for him to come in person."

Yi Fei was very surprised. He didn't expect Xue Cai to attach so much importance to Qiu Jiang. Why? Even if Qiu Jiang is Qi'er, the heir of Mrs. Ruyi. But after all, she has been amnesia for many years, and many things have happened in the Ruyi Sect. Ruyi's own difficulty in protecting herself. Logically speaking, the Ruyi Sect is now falling apart. Even if there is no external force to attack, there is a scattered sand inside, which is difficult to become a climate. Why is Xue Cai so worried about Qiu Jiang? She is afraid that she will recover her memory?

Qiu Jiang has been regaining her memory for several days. Apart from her more dull and decisive personality, she doesn’t have much strangeness. What is Xue Cai worried about?

If it was someone else, it might be a worry. But Xue Cai is definitely not that kind of person.

In other words, his concerns must make sense.

What would it be?

This series of thoughts beating in Yi Fei's mind, and he finally suppressed them. "Then you inform him. We set out for Luwan on the fifth day of September, hoping that he would have time."

"What if it's too late?"

"If there is no time, you stay here and watch her. I will go north by myself."

Zhu Long weighed the pros and cons, thinking that Qiu Jiang was more important, so he nodded and accepted the arrangement.

Yifei felt that his hands and feet had some strength, so he got up and staggered to Qiu Jiang.

He looked at her for a long time, and finally silently covered her with a quilt and blew out the candles beside her.

Go to bed.
