Chapter 298 Learning from the Masters
Shi Xiaoliu and the others returned to the top of the mountain. That night, a light rain began to fall in the sky.
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other three were sitting under the eaves talking, and 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 uncle and master will one day shine brightly."
Listening to Shi Zelan's words, Shi Xiaoliu kept thinking. Nodding: "When the rain stops, we will pick the big leaves. This time we will pick more and save them."
After listening to their conversation, Xia Yu sighed and asked: "Have you sent the news back to the sect?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded at the same time: "It has been sent."
They looked up at Xia Yu at the same time: "What's wrong?
What news did you receive?"
Xia Yu thought of the news she received and said to them: "My father and I Uncle won’t be 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 want 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?"
"Yes, my father said that he and My uncle may have to go on a long trip, and then they will come directly to meet us."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu: "Do you miss your relatives at home?"
Xia Yu was silent for a while and said: "My grandma is practicing in seclusion. Even if I go back, I won't be able to see my grandma."
"Where is your grandfather?"
My grandpa has always been Putting the overall situation first, if I went back to see him like this, he would be unhappy. "
Shi Zelan looked at him curiously: "Why have I never heard you mention your grandma? "
Xia Yu sighed: "Before my father and mother got married, she went into seclusion to practice, and she has not left seclusion until now. ”
While they were talking, a paper bird fell on Shi Xiaoliu's hand. When the paper bird disappeared from his hand, he looked surprised.
"Xiao Liu, what happened?"
Shi Xiaoliu took a deep breath, he looked at Shi Zelan and said: "Someone has seen Uncle Beichen outside Jiuzhou, but not "To my aunt."
After hearing the news, Shi Zelan said calmly: "False news.
If I said that I saw my mother but not my father, how would I feel? ”
After hearing Shi Zelan's words, Xia Yu reminded: "Maybe there is a glimmer of hope. People from the sect will definitely look in that direction."
"Master told me that as long as my father is here In this world, he will definitely try his best to contact the people of the sect."
After thinking for a moment, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan: "Your uncles didn't send you any news, so you don't need to pay attention to it. News."
Xia Yu looked at Shi Xiaoliu and asked curiously: "Is this the news that Wanyu sent you?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head: "A new junior sister. , don’t know where to get the information to contact me.”
"That junior sister that Wanyu mentioned?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head and said: "Sister Lan, please 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 it and squeezed it for a while, then reluctantly let the paper bird fly to the sky.
After she released the paper birds, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu each took out two paper birds and gave them directly to Shi Zelan.
“Sister Lan, do you feel much better this time?”
Shi Zelan smiled and said: "It's so comfortable, but you have to send more news back to the sect than me. Is it enough for you?" Xia Yu looked at the raindrops falling from the sky: "It's enough."
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said: "I don't have much news to send to the sect."
Shi Zelan sighed: "My master and Lord Phoenix are in retreat, and I don't need much. "Paper Bird."
Master Fang Cheng and Master Pingyang care about Shi Zelan, but they each have their own things to do.
After Master Shanzheng went into seclusion, Master Fangcheng and Master Pingyang sent messages to Shi Zelan every few days to express concern about her current situation.
Shi Zelan naturally reported good things but not bad things, and with Shi Xiaoliu by her side, she didn’t feel anything sad.
After the three of them talked for a while, they became concerned about the news in the town and Yangzhou Prefecture.
When such a rain falls, a lot of things will be washed away.
At the canyon, the prefect and the mayor rushed to the bottom of the canyon. Under the leadership of two officers and soldiers, they inspected the place where the swords were facing each other yesterday.
The prefect was very curious about the three masked boys. Brother Zhang and his companions said seriously: "I feel like they are not very old.
Yesterday, if they had not appeared, we would have probably died here. "
The prefect looked at the mayor and said, "If you find the three of them, you must let me know."
The mayor said seriously: "Sir, I will arrange for people to search for the children of nearby herb collectors. "
The prefect also carefully looked at the sword marks on the mountain wall. He pointed to several marks and said to the officials around him. " This is like a place to set up an ambush and draw a sword.
The gangsters in Yangzhou Prefecture should be the same group as yesterday's gangsters, and they hate the officers and soldiers very much, leaving no room for action.
Everyone is advised to be cautious these days, especially when going up the mountain to investigate a case, be sure to arrange more manpower. ”
The top of the canyon was very wet. The investigating officers checked the surrounding situation very carefully. They climbed up the mountain.
When they climbed to the top, they happened to see Shi Xiaoliu and the other three people. There were no traces removed.
They looked carefully and again, but because of the rain, they could still only see vague traces.
After they came down from the mountain, when they reported the situation to the prefect, they regretted: "It's a pity that the rain has washed away many traces."
The prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture was already preparing for the worst in his heart. At the moment, his expression He said calmly: "Do you need to check anywhere else?"
The investigating officer shook his head and said: "Sir, if it doesn't rain, maybe you can still see something from around the canyon."
The prefect took the people away, and the mayor sent the prefect to the carriage at the foot of the mountain.
He received a low voice from the prefect: "Don't arrange for anyone to go up the mountain again tomorrow.
When arranging people to go up the mountain secretly, we also need to select particularly clever boys. "
After the prefect and his entourage got on the carriage, the mayor and his entourage followed.
The mayor whispered to Brother Zhang who was traveling with him: "You two don't go out unless nothing happens. The town is over. "
Brother Zhang nodded and said, "Sir, I understand.
I just want the brothers guarding the gate of the town to help me pay attention to the three people traveling together. ”
"Do you think they live nearby?"
Brother Zhang nodded: "The children of our herb collectors are very clever. I heard that when they were young, they all learned from masters in the world."
The mayor glanced at him: "The prefect just asked you, but you didn't explain it in such detail."
"Sir, this is just a small guess. How dare I tell the prefect? Listen.”
