Chapter 2 The ghosts linger
The team of nearly 100 people from Xu Xiao's family gradually disappeared on the dock, leaving only the cold wind of the river and a lonely figure.
Zhongli Chuchu was standing by the roadside with Bai Luotuo. The surprise in her green eyes had dissipated and turned into stiffness.
The breeze blew the long red gauze skirt, and the crystal-clear jade pendant on the waist swayed gently. Even if it covered the face and figure, its tall figure surpassed the beauties of Jiangnan everywhere. It was like the only rose in the sea of flowers, making it difficult for people not to look at it for a few more times.
But why didn't he look at me...
Could it be that I didn't see me...
It's impossible, I was dressed so beautifully, and the white camel stood in front of me, even chasing the wind horse, greeted me...
Could it be that I have forgotten...
Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu frowned.
After going to Heicheng together, Zhongli Chuchu knew that Xu Buling was a gentleman who would do his best, and was different from those men who were full of lust. He had no friends since childhood, no family affection, and had been alone for a long time. Zhongli Chuchu actually longed for such a friend. He had no reason to leave at that time, so he could only find a way to find Ning Qingye to meet again.
Not long after leaving Suzhou, she met Xu Danqing, who was looking for beauties everywhere and asked her if she wanted to be the Bakui. Zhongli Chuchu didn't think about it before, but for some reason, she finally agreed.
Famously, Ning Qingye did not find it, so Zhongli Chuchu came directly to the destination and waited on the pier. Looking at the Huai River every day, I actually had some thoughts in my heart - after all, he was the best beauty in the world, so he had to be surprised after the reunion...
Seeing Xu Buling's back disappearing from the end of his vision without looking back, Zhongli Chuchu took a deep breath, and his eyes showed deep dissatisfaction.
Why!?
Where is Ning Qingye better than me?
Zhongli Chuchu narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment, then led the camel towards Xiaojiazhuang, looking at her appearance and wanted to chase her and ask what was going on.
Not long after walking, two figures came out from behind the willow tree beside the road. The little girl with a big breast was leaning against the tree and greeted her:
"Xiao Zhong, why are you here?"
Zhongli Chuchu came to her senses and took a cautious look, but saw Ning Qingye and Zhu Manzhi staring at her.
Ning Qingye was as cold as ever, holding the sword straight, with a little confusion. Zhu Manzhi next to him had a small face of suspicion, looking up and down at her, then looking at the direction where Xu Buling disappeared, and didn't know where he had thought about it in an instant.
There were many people in the team just now, and half of them were female relatives. Zhongli Chuchu was all about Xu Buling, and he really didn't pay attention to these two people.
"Huh? Miss Ning, why are you in Jiangnan too? I just arrived here in Jianghu. What a coincidence..."
Zhu Manzhi's eyes were full of disbelief, so he walked up to him and walked around Zhongli Chuchu:
"What a coincidence? I was a constable and I saw you just now. I stood here like Wangfushi, and I was still staring at Mr. Xu. What do you want to do?"
Zhongli Chuchu's eyelashes showed a little smile: "I have dealt with Mr. Xu before, but I suddenly saw it and just took a few more glances."
Ning Qingye had a good sense of Zhongli Chuchu and had no hostility. She walked up to her and raised her hand to greet her, and said softly:
"Miss Zhongli, it's been a long time since I was around."
Zhongli Chuchu nodded gently, not knowing how to explain that she suddenly appeared here.
Ning Qingye looked at the direction where Xu Buling left: "The detoxification method mentioned by Miss Zhong is indeed useful. I left a letter to Xu Buling and asked him to owe you a favor. Can he contact you later?"
When Zhongli Chuchu mentioned this, he felt a little embarrassed: "I had contacted him. At that time, I didn't want him to repay the favor. I was just a joke. I didn't expect him to be serious... Forget it, it's all a trivial matter. Mr. Xu may not have seen me just now..."
Ning Qingye frowned slightly and shook his head and said, "He looked at all directions and listened to all directions. How could he not see you? He probably didn't want to see you."
??
Zhongli Chuchu pursed her lips and had nothing to say.
Zhu Manzhi had long been accustomed to Qingye's straightforward temperament. Seeing Zhongli Chuchu feels a little uncomfortable and laughed:
"Xiao Zhong, don't get me wrong. Mr. Xu is here to propose marriage. In front of his in-laws, it is naturally difficult to say hello to others. You are so famous now..."
After hearing this explanation, Zhongli Chuchu suddenly realized and her aggrievance was wiped out - it seemed that she was reckless. When someone came to propose marriage, she would definitely be overwhelming and should have met by chance in private...
"Oh...yes...it's okay, I'm still surprised..."
While speaking, the three of them walked towards the Xiao family, and Zhongli Chuchu followed without hesitation.
Ning Qingye walked beside Zhongli Chuchu and thought for a while: "Miss Zhong, on the way we came, we met your former master."
"Um?"
Zhongli Chuchu, who was thinking about it, paused with surprise:
"How did you meet her? She is not in Nanyue, why did she come to Central Plains?"
Ning Qingye shook her head: "Who knows what she is doing? I heard from the people on the boat that Xu Buling met by chance when he was sheltering from the rain near Wudang Mountain..."
"impossible."
Zhongli Chuchu and his master have been dependent on each other for many years, and they are very clear about his master's nature: "My master is called 'Ye Jiuniang' because she is elusive and is very good at hiding his movements. She must have a purpose when she appears in front of Mr. Xu."
Ning Qingye nodded: "She said there is a secret method that can be used to treat Xu Buling to care for his body, but the secret method of the master is not passed on, so he can only accept Xu Buling as an apprentice to teach..."
Zhongli Chuchu frowned slightly: "My master has become a talented person. Where did the secret techniques of the master come from? They were all created by her... She probably wanted to compete with Ning Yu for apprentices. It's been so many years, and she is really persistent...where is her?"
Zhu Manzhi sighed: "I was slaughtered by Mr. Xu."
"What?!"
Zhongli Chuchu was shocked, anxious and angry.
Ning Qingye was a little helpless and said softly: "Don't listen to her nonsense. Your master made trouble on the boat and was driven away by my master."
Zhongli Chuchu breathed a little relieved. She didn't want to say more about this matter, but she thought for a while and frowned:
"Your master drove her away?"
"yes."
Zhongli Chuchu's expression became serious. Her master and Ning Yuhe were mortal enemies. She was driven away by Ning Yuhe and could not leave even if she wanted to. She looked at the river bank and fields around the road. She searched for a little, and found that a little sparrow was parked on a willow tree in the distance, looking here.
"I've suffered..."
Zhongli Chuchu's eyes showed a little panic and annoyance. He turned over and jumped onto a camel, galloped towards Huainan City, and ran a long way before looking back and saying goodbye:
"Goodbye in the world."
