Chapter 28 Teng Jiao(3/4)
"Their relatives and friends are in Luwan, and they come for love."
Yuan Su finally spoke indifferently: "I don't have such a relative." His relatives were all born on his father, but after his father died, he wanted to seize the recipe, but he couldn't, so he took advantage of all kinds of tricks to persecute him.
"I heard that Xue Xiang had caught a man named Meng Changqi from the sea before."
Yuan Su's expression changed slightly.
"You have a good friend." Feng Xiaoya smiled, "I just don't know if he is among those surviving people now."
Yuan Su's hand trembled. He thought he was desperate enough, but he didn't expect that at this moment, there would be news that could make him feel even more panic.
"He's in Luwan?"
"If you knew he was still in Luwan at that time, would he stop?"
Yuan Su lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he clenched his fists: "No." He had planned for revenge for so long, but finally found a like-minded person like the Queen. With such an opportunity, it was impossible for him to give up for Meng Changqi.
At this time, Meng Buli happened to come in with a bowl of clear water that he had asked for from passers-by. When he heard what he said, he suddenly said, "You, hear, see? Chang, Brother Changqi."
Yuan Su was shocked and subconsciously turned his head to look out of the car: "Long flag?!!"
The car stopped by the roadside, and looked at many people on the road, but Meng Changqi was not found for a while. Jiao Buqi on the shaft of the car chuckled. Feng Xiaoya in the car took the water bowl and shook her head at Meng Buli, saying, "Naughty."
Meng Buli lowered his head and went out. Only then did Yuan Su realize that he had been put on a word. Meng Buli was very taciturn. He thought he was mute, but he didn't expect that he could talk and even lie.
For a moment, Yuan Su didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief for Meng Changqi not being here or be ashamed of himself who said he just didn't know how to do it. The huge emotional ups and downs made him fall into despair again.
Feng Xiaoya quietly drank water without saying anything.
The southern edge was about fifty miles away from Luwan. The carriage walked for a full day. When it arrived at the southern edge, it was already dark and I finally rushed in before the city gate was closed.
Jiao Buqi parked in front of an inn and said to Feng Xiaoya: "It's dark. Even when I get to the Xie family, I can't see anything clearly. Why don't you rest here for a night and then go there when it's dawn tomorrow?"
Feng Xiaoya had been in the car for a day, her face was very pale, but she still shook her head and said, "No."
Jiao Buqi looked at him worriedly and said nothing to continue rushing the bus.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a round arched hood of ten feet high. It was exactly the same as the hood of the ridges in the city, but the ones underneath were not exquisite small buildings, but workshops.
Although there are many workshops, most of them have been abandoned and closed, with only a few remaining stores still supporting them, with signs hanging. A shop's stove was lit up, and an old woman was sitting by the stove and napping. The thin light shone on the folds on her face, showing the feeling of declining like this place.
Yuan Su saw her from the car window and his eyes moved slightly.
Feng Xiaoya pointed at Qiao Buqi and said, "Go and inquire."
Jiao Buqi turned over and got out of the car, walked to the front of the store, bowed and said, "Old man."
The old woman called her back several times before she heard it. She rubbed her eyes and turned her head. When she saw the carriage, she immediately showed joy and said, "What do the guest want? The shop can do anything from swords and guns to boat nails."
"I want to customize an iron sword, but the blade needs to be used. Is it OK?"
The attentive look on the old woman's face disappeared immediately. She glanced at him coldly, turned around and sat down again: "That can't be done."
"Do you know where to do it?"
"I can't make anything, the recipe for ginger has been lost." The old woman said this, bringing a hint of resentment, "If it weren't for this, how could we be so depressed..."
Yuan Su on the carriage suddenly sneered.
The old woman turned her head and looked at him. The two of them met through the half-open car window. The old woman was stunned, and Yuan Su had already put down the curtains.
Jiao Buqi asked again: "Then ask you for someone. Have you ever seen such a girl?" As he said that, he took out a painting from his arms, which was painted on it.
The old woman was a little impatient and said bluntly: "I don't know."
Jiao Buqi said: "Please take a look. She should have been here the day before yesterday, oh no, I came here yesterday."
"I don't know, but I don't know. Who is patient and helping you remember people all day long?"
Inside the car, Yuan Su's eyes showed a sarcastic look again. Feng Xiaoya saw it and said to Yuan Su: "Is that your relative?"
Yuan Su would not answer.
Feng Xiaoya thought about it and gave Jiao Buqi a wink.
Jiao Buqi took out a ingot of gold from his arms and said, "Now, can you help?"
The old woman's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she stared at the ingot of gold and said, "She passed by here at noon yesterday! But she was not alone, there was also a white and handsome man. The two were so close that they hugged each other. I thought it was some young couple who had elopement."
Feng Xiaoya was stunned.
Yuan Su's eyes flashed and he burst into laughter.
Jiao Buqi paid the gold awkwardly, "Is there any?"
"It's gone. Then they left and bought nothing. They just passed by." The old woman took the gold and bit it with the only few left front teeth. After confirming that it was enough gold, she began to close the store with satisfaction.
Jiao Buqi said, "Old man, is it closed now?"
"With so much money, why don't you open a store? I haven't lived for ten days and half a month..." Although the old woman was old, her hands and feet were quite quick. After a while, she closed the door and locked it. She glanced at the carriage window a few times, as if she was savoring the young man she had just seen, and turned around and left.
Jiao Buqi returned to the car and said to Feng Xiaoya: "Young Master, do you still check it?"
Feng Xiaoya looked at the workshops in front of her, and they all looked exactly the same in the darkness. He sighed and looked at Yuan Su: "You still don't want to tell me where is the eye of the formation?"
Yuan Su smiled and returned to his usual calm appearance: "Luwan has not sunk, and this place has not been stopped. You have time to look for it from house to house."
"You didn't hear your aunt say..."
Yuan Su coldly interrupted him: "She is not my aunt!"
"That's your aunt? Auntie? Who is your person after all? She said Qiu Jiang left with a man."
"Is that so? Congratulations on getting another cuckold."
Feng Xiaoya chuckled, but soon turned into worry: "Qiu Jiang was seriously injured. She must have been kidnapped by that person, so she looked like she was hugging her and left."
Yuan Su looked at him in disbelief, and after a while, he sarcastically said, "You are very good at comforting yourself."
"I must know as soon as possible what happened, who took her away, and where she went." Feng Xiaoya looked at him, "So, next, I may have to do something bad to you until you are willing to tell me the location of the array eye."
"What's wrong? Could it be that you want to feed me aphrodisiac pill?" Yuan Su felt angry when he said this. That day Qiu Jiang lied to him that the thing was an aphrodisiac pill, which made him frightened for a long time after taking it. He had to tell his true identity. After waiting for a long time, there was nothing strange in his body. That liar! Sure enough, he couldn't believe a word!
Feng Xiaoya stopped talking, but just grabbed his hand.
Yuan Su immediately felt that the place where he was being held seemed to be stabbed in by a needle, piercing his bones into it, and he almost jumped up when he shuddered.
He immediately gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold it back, but the second, third, fourth... about six needles were pierced in one after another. The last one was not the needle, but a sword. The cold and sharp sword intent rushed straight into the bloodline, and in an instant, cold sweat soaked his back.
"you!"
Feng Xiaoya moved her hand up to his neck. So the six needles and a sword pierced through his neck. Yuan Su's eyes turned black and he was about to faint. Feng Xiaoya reached out with his other hand and pressed his Tianling acupoint.
The huge pain in Tianling acupoint made him wake up again.
Yuan Su's teeth made a crackling sound, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if you, see you again, I will not say anything, I won't say anything!"
"Use torture?" Feng Xiaoya laughed and said lightly, "No, this is not yet. I just let you feel my feelings first."
Yuan Su was shocked.
"The seven internal forces you feel are flowing in my body all the time. So, if others touch me, you can feel them. Interestingly, no one touched by me seems to be able to hold on. But I have been persisting for fifteen years." Since I was ten years old, after my father forced back from the brink of death, these seven forces became his vitality and his pain.
"I want to tell you that the reason I endured this is for Qiu Jiang. My determination is far beyond your imagination. You must tell me where the array eyes are, otherwise I will do anything that can help me get the answer from you." Feng Xiaoya approached him, and her black eyes magnified in front of him, presenting an indescribable horror.
But Yuan Su was still unwilling to accept it and couldn't help asking: "What would you do?"
"I will give you to the old woman just now."
A very plain sentence was much more useful than the internal forces that hit his neck and Tianling at this moment. Yuan Su's face turned pale in an instant.
"I will tell them that you know the recipe for suffix. So, the Xie family's revival is hopeful."
Yuan Su's face went from white to red.
"I will also tell them that you have a good friend named Meng Changqi, a disciple of Gongshuf, who masters many drawings of the mechanism. With the sage and the drawings, the Xie family can not only be revived, but also leaps to surpass the Zhou family..."
Yuan Su's face turned white again from red.
"How they treated you and your mother back then, they can treat you and Meng Changqi now."
"Devil!" Yuan Su said hoarsely, "You are like Qi'er, you are all devils!"
"Where is the array eye?"
Yuan Su was trembling all over.
Feng Xiaoya glanced at him and turned her head to instruct outside the car: "Jiao Buqi, go and take Meng Changqi..." Halfway through his speech, Yuan Su's collapsed voice had already heard behind him: "The ninth house! The ninth house! Under the ninth house's furnace!"
Feng Xiaoya pulled her hands away from his neck and Tianling acupoint, and smiled slightly and said, "I'm tired."
Yuan Su suddenly collapsed on the car couch, gasping for breath, tears flowing down because of humiliation, pain, and even more because of despair.
***
The ninth workshop looked the most dilapidated, as if it had been abandoned for many years, and the sign was gone. When I opened the door, it was full of spider silk, and the room was empty. Except for a large stove for smelting, everything I could take away was taken away.
There is a willow leaf carved on the wall of the fire. Seeing this willow leaf, Feng Xiaoya knew that Yuan Su was not lying. This is Xie Bin's workshop back then. As his son, he naturally set up the agency here when he was revenge.
Feng Xiaoya stared at the ash on the ground. There was a layer of thin ash on the ground and many footprints. The footprints were very new, and they should have been left behind in the past two days.
Yuan Su followed him, saying that he could not do martial arts, so the three of them were not wary of him.
Meng Buli and Jiao Buqi took apart the stove and found the mechanism under the stove. The mechanism was open and closed, revealing the dark hole.
