The stars are rare and the moon is not in the fifth watch, and the horned rooster crows for the first time.

Xiao Qingqian vaguely heard the crowing of the cock, opened his eyes blindly, and saw Qin Gutong looking at him.Closing his eyes and leaning over, he murmured lazily: "A Tong, how long have you been sleeping?"

Qin Gutong tugged at the thin quilt and said in a low voice, "I just woke up."

In fact, she had woken up for a while, hesitating whether to get up to practice the sword or lie down for a while, but looking at Xiao Qingqian's sleeping face, the time passed quickly.

Listening to the sound of Hu Ziniang lighting a fire and cooking outside, Qin Gutong couldn't stay any longer.She talked to Xiao Qingqian, carefully lifted the quilt, got up, dressed and went out.Hu Ziniang was adding grass by the earthen stove, when she heard the movement and saw Qin Gutong, she quickly got up and said, "Miss Qin, I'll get you some hot water."

Qin Gutong hurriedly stopped: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be busy. I'm used to well water, and this stream is not cold at all."

She simply washed up and walked into the kitchen.Hu Ziniang was preparing meals for Master Feng and the others, and when she saw her, she pointed to the main room: "Miss Qin, breakfast is on the table. There is nothing good, just some porridge, water and pickles... Ah, this!"

Qin Gutong stuffed two corners of broken silver into Hu Ziniang's hands, and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, you must not refuse this money. Master Feng's injury will not heal for a while. I think Brother Zheng's family is also in trouble, so you take care of it." Master Feng, the family's livelihood will definitely be delayed, and this money should be used as a subsidy."

Hu Ziniang's eyes turned red, she choked up and couldn't speak.

Qin Gutong quickly comforted: "It's okay, life is always going well. When we are free, we will come back to see you."

Hu Ziniang was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Qin, are you leaving today?"

Qin Gutong nodded, and told Hu Ziniang that he had something important to go to Jianye City.Hu Ziniang couldn't keep her, so she could only repeatedly ask to be careful on the road and come back to see when she has time.

Qin Gutong fetched water and went back to the room to arouse Xiao Qingqian. The two of them came out of the room for a while, and when they came out, they saw that Lihua had already got up to wash, feed the chickens and fetch water.

Life is the most bitter parting. Xiao Lihua knows that the two are going to leave, crying sadly: "Woohoo, sister don’t go ... wow ..."

"Lihua is good, we will come back, when the time comes, we will buy red strings for Lihua, as well as candied gourds and kites, okay?" Qin Gutong stretched out his hand to rub the top of Lihua's head, and suddenly thought of not forgetting. sentimental.

"Woman! It's hard for me to look for it!" There was an exclamation from outside the door.

Seeing the familiar face of the person coming, Qin Gutong thought for a while—could it be Master Niu, the chief steward.

The head steward of the Niu family nodded and bowed, and greeted seven or eight people to come in.Carry the red box and gold box on the shoulder, put it on the ground and open it completely, gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin.

Qin Gutong glanced at it, and thought: That Master Niu is really rich.

Seeing her leading the horse, the head steward of the Niu family said in surprise, "You are going out."

Qin Gutong inadvertently greeted them, leaned over to take a piece of jade, held hands and said: "Master Niu is polite, I will accept what you want, and you can take the things back. Tell Master Niu that I have something to go to Jianye City, and I will be free in the future Let's talk again."

The big steward heard it, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, the little one understands, the little one understands. The two of you have a smooth journey... Heroine!"

Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian had already left the house, they turned their heads when they heard the words.

The chief manager hurriedly took two steps up, lowered his hands and lowered his head to report: "Yesterday, my master Niu just came back from Jianye City. You two may not know it. A major event happened in Jianye City. There was a big fire from Guyu Street to Taiping Bridge. This year's Martial Arts Conference Nine times out of ten it won't work!"

Qin Gutong raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and nodded slightly: "Such a big event happened? Well, it doesn't matter, we are just visiting friends."

The head steward of the Niu family bowed his head repeatedly, nodded, and said with a smile: "I see, you two go slowly, I will see you off."

Qin Gutong smiled slightly: "No need. Lihua, stay at home obediently and be obedient." She nodded towards Lihua, and led the horse out of the village with Xiao Qingqian.

Li Hua's face was covered with tears, and she stepped on her feet to watch them go away.

It was early summer, and the wind was blowing.The willows are green and the pomegranates are half red.

After leaving the village, there are farmlands on both sides, and there are rice cookers and pots of rice on the trails at the head of the fields.The villagers in Hanshan were working in the fields, when someone saw Qin Gutong and Xiao Qingqian, they quickly greeted their companions in a low voice.As if seeing something strange, he watched the two of them off along the way.

Walking far along the field ridges, the road is wider enough for two people to walk side by side.Xiao Qingqian looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, blue and cloudless.

Qin Gutong looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "God is beautiful."

Xiao Qing smiled slightly: "Well, hurry up as soon as possible and find a place to stay."

Qin Gutong raised his eyebrows, pointed at the sky and pointed at his feet, and said with a smile: "The sky and the ground are not bad, either."

Xiao Qing looked at her childish appearance, smiled without saying a word, got on the horse and said: "It's not bad to stay."

Seeing her riding forward, Qin Gutong stepped on the stirrups and urged the horse to follow, shouting: "No, I want to follow Qingqian."

Xiao Qingqian looked back at the words, with a gentle smile on her face, but a slight frown at the brows.Qin Gutong was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to follow her gaze.

At a glance, Qin Gutong's face turned pale instantly, and his whole body was shocked.

The next moment, she jumped up from the horse.The body is like an arrow that leaves the string, and it is five feet away with the flick of a finger.When she was falling, she suddenly stretched out the weeping willow and jumped up the treetop with her strength.With the toes connected, stepping on the tree and walking, you have traveled three or four miles in an instant.

Looking at the billowing black smoke rising from Hanshan Village, Xiao Qingqian knew that something must happen.She raised her hand and grabbed the reins, pulled Qin Gutong's horse back, turned the horse's head and galloped back.

Qin Gutong was in a state of anxiety, and his internal energy was surging.After a few ups and downs, he was approaching the entrance of the village, and when he looked intently, his heart overflowed with murderous intent.

"Go to the water!"

"Firefighting! Come quickly!"

In less than half an hour, the four rooms of Huzi's house were engulfed in flames.Thick smoke billowed and covered the sky, and the fire was extremely ferocious.Villagers who had never been to the field came one after another, carrying buckets but could not get close.

Qin Gutong stepped forward and snatched the bucket, poured it down with a puff, and drenched himself.She didn't care to wipe off the water stains on her face, and immediately rushed into the sea of ​​fire.The tongue of flames swallowed, and the black smoke was ferocious.Qin Gutong held his breath, but his eyes were smudged to tears, so he could only grope in the sea of ​​flames, shouting loudly: "Pear Blossom! Pear Blossom!"

——"Crackling!"

Qin Gutong heard the wood burst and the door frame was about to fall, so he rushed into the house.At this moment, she stumbled, she hurriedly stopped her foot, bowed her head, and looked at it in fear.

Small body, still with residual heat.

There was a hideous black streak on the neck.

Qin Gutong looked at her in disbelief, and whispered, "...Pear Blossom?"

"Pear Blossom!"

Qin Gutong let out a heart-piercing growl, hastily and tremblingly picked her up carefully, and asked gently, "What's wrong? Lihua is tired from walking again?"

Lihua leaned on her shoulder obediently, and remained silent.Just like last night, when the little girl was sleepy, she curled up in her arms and fell asleep.

When the firefighters saw her walking out of the sea of ​​flames, the villagers were overjoyed and gathered around her.

"My God, the female hero is really a bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Huzi's family has accumulated virtues in their previous lives!"

"Yes, yes, what's wrong with this girl, Lihua?

"Are you choking on smoke?"

"I guess, hurry up and get some... Ahhh!"

Qin Gutong didn't hear it, but his heart was numb with pain.She gently hugged Lihua in her arms, wiped off the gray marks on her face with a silk handkerchief soaked in water, and tied her scorched hair back.

"A Tong." Xiao Qingqian called softly.

Qin Gutong tried his best to raise the corners of his lips, raised his head and smiled at her, comfortingly said: "It's okay. Qingqian, I'm fine."

Seeing her trying to stay calm, Xiao Qingqian's heart ached instantly, leaned over to wipe her cheeks, and nodded gently: "Yes."

Qin Gutong carefully placed the pear blossom on the ground, got up and looked around at the surrounding villagers.She looked calm, there was no viciousness in her star pupils, but she was frightened.

"Female... female hero! I, we don't know anything..."

"We saw the fire and came here!"

"Yeah yeah."

Qin Gutong pursed his lips into a smile, his face was instantly cold, and he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you see it?"

She suddenly uttered a horrified speech, everyone trembled, and then someone said: "I, I, I... I saw the butler Niu Ye, he he..."

"Yes, I saw it too!"

"A Tong." Xiao Qingqian frowned, hesitated to speak but had to ask, "Why don't you see Huzi's family come back?"

There was a "buzz" in Qin Gutong's head, his color paled in vain, and his whole body was numb from the cold.In an instant, her eyes were burning with anger, she gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "Master Niu... very good, very good!"

Seeing her resentment, Xiao Qing became even more displeased with that Niu Ye.

Qin Gutong's starry eyes were like eagles, sweeping across the crowd.One of them was quite familiar, and it was the young man who was going to apprentice last night.She stepped forward and dragged him out, and said in a cold voice: "Take care of Lihua, if something goes wrong, I'll let you go with Master Niu as companions!"

The young man hurriedly nodded and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"

Qin Gutong asked Master Niu where he lived, and took notes carefully.She and Xiao Qingqian immediately hurried to Master Feng's residence.

You don't need to get close, the bloody smell blowing on your face will make you deterred.

Qin Gutong clenched his fist and swung it suddenly.The sound of piercing the sky shocked people's eardrums.She walked forward quickly, bypassing the low wall, and saw two corpses lying in front of the earthen house.

One has white hair and the other has a short stature. They are the third master and Huzi.Both of them were killed with one punch, their brains burst, and the ground was covered in red and white mess.

Qin Gutong's eyes were scarlet, and he pulled out the horizontal knife with a "Zheng", and suddenly jumped out, heading straight for Master Niu's residence.

Blue tiles and white walls, a tall courtyard, and two strong guards standing at the entrance of the mansion.Seeing Qin Gutong coming with a weapon, the two immediately drew their swords and shouted loudly: "Hey, stop! This is the Niu Mansion!"

The cold light flows from the white blade, and the blood rolls in waves.

The two of them groaned and fell down.

Qin Gutong's face was as deep as water, his eyes were cold and serious, and he walked steadily into Niu's mansion with a knife.

Those who avoid do not pursue, and those who meet will die.

The young swordsman kills people like cutting grass, and no one can stop him all the way.The magnificent Niu Mansion suddenly howled and cried, and turned into a ball.

Master Niu heard the report and ran out in panic.Seeing Qin Gutong coming with a knife, he immediately felt guilty, retreated a few steps in a panic, and shouted tremblingly: "Female, female hero? What are you! Ahhh, I dare not, dare not again! "

Qin Gutong didn't say a word or smile, with a flick of his wrist, blood was thrown from the horizontal knife, and there was a scarlet blood stain on the white wall.The blood that has not dried up rolled down the wall, drawing lines of blood and tears.

Master Niu felt his guts bursting, his teeth chattered and he couldn't speak.

The horizontal knife flashed like lightning, and it was too fast to cover one's ears.

Qin Gutong slowly drew out the knife, and blood gushed out.Master Niu's gigantic body collapsed like a hill, his fists swung in the air powerlessly drooped down, and a pair of bull's eyes stared intently.

Seeing Master Niu's frightened and distorted face, Qin Gutong's expression was as calm as water, and he said lightly: "Be a good person in the next life, don't bring trouble to your family."
