One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 354 The next thing

Yan Qingzhi followed Guan Shao, all the way to the north of the gate to the city. Many people on the road already knew the news, and some people rode fast horses and shouted about Yan Qingzhi's physical characteristics, asking whoever saw it. Reporting, once found, will be rewarded.

Yan Qingzhi put on a straw hat from someone passing by, and put on Guan Shao's blouse.

However, the two of them are still a bit conspicuous. Now it is midsummer. The gate is surrounded by mountains on both sides of the city. The temperature in the city seems to be higher. People walking on the street wear half-sleeved clothes, even women. Yan Qingzhi and Guan Shao are no exception. It is very unusual to wear it from head to toe.

Fortunately, the two had a clear division of labor, Guan Shao pointed the way, and Yan Qingzhi listened to the situation. There was no accident along the way, but it took a little longer. They finally arrived at a small courtyard in the north of the city at the end of the day.

This is already the northernmost part of Menkaicheng. It is relatively remote, but the yard is not small. There are people around, but they don't come out very often. I don't know what they do to make a living.

Compared with the simple folk customs in Mengyun City, the people here have a sense of alienation and calculation. Every household is also closed, the door is tightly locked, and there is movement in the neighbor's house or on the street. , not only is not curious, but also hides farther, it is a good place for Tibetans.

Guan Shao pointed to the yard, took out the key from his arms, opened the locked door, and the two stepped into it.

After closing the courtyard door tightly, Guan Shao breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the house with Yan Qingzhi, whispering as he walked.

"There used to be a family here, but I offended the Crazy Blade Sect..."

His expression was somewhat pitiful, but calmed down in an instant.

"When I came, I wanted to rent a house, and I asked him for news. He gave me the key and didn't say anything about the rent. When I packed up and went to find him, he had already been hacked to death, listen. Said it was for revenge for the family..."

Guan Shao didn't have too many feelings for that person, but this matter had a great impact on him. He felt that he lived in this person's house and accepted this person's favor, so he should do something for him.

When Yan Qingzhi heard this, she understood why she met Guan Shao in the restaurant.

"You want to avenge him?"

Guan Shao's serious expression just now relaxed a little because of Yan Qingzhi's inquiry, he pushed open the door of the main room, and while introducing Yan Qingzhi into the room, he looked at Yan Qingzhi's expression.

"Yes, so I am very grateful to the girl."

Yan Qingzhi smiled lightly, trusting Guan Shao a little more.

"I don't mean to avenge him, I am well-deserved for Guan Gongzi's gratitude."

She said it very solemnly, and didn't mean to keep a distance. She killed the people of Crazy Blade to make a name for herself.

Guan Shao had never met someone like Yan Qingzhi who didn't want any favors, so he asked her to sit beside the wooden table in the middle of the room.

There are many mottles on the wooden table, and it can be seen that there is an idea.

Yan Qingzhi pulled a bench and sat on it, looking at the environment in the room.

The house is not too high, not big, and has few pieces of furniture. On the left is a stove, which is deserted and untouched for a long time. On the right is a small study, which is placed on a wooden shelf that is not too high. There are a few books, and some ink, paper, and inkstone. Under the window is a small desk, clean, with only two bluestone paperweights and a pen holder standing at the corner of the desk.

The innermost is a wooden bed that can only lie on one person. There is a wooden box under the bed. The bed is covered with a thick layer of straw, and a mattress is placed on top of the straw. The mattress is very old, but washed very cleanly.

"Miss Su is a rare and upright person."

Guan Shao sat opposite her and praised with some admiration.

Yan Qingzhi took back her attention and did not refute, nor did she continue to struggle with these matters.

"Although this place is temporarily safe, the Nine Swords Alliance has a deep foundation in Menkaicheng. It will be a matter of time to find it. I will just change my clothes and leave here, and try not to drag you down!"

Guan Shao, whose eyes were still bright just now, was at a loss when he heard this.

"But what did you do to make Miss Su unhappy?"

"Why does Master Guan ask this?" Seeing that he was at a loss, Yan Qingzhi was also very puzzled.

"Although Guan is not very famous, but since he has entered the arena, he can no longer stay out of it. Miss Su is so eager to get rid of the subordinate, but the subordinate makes the girl unhappy?"

He wouldn't think that Yan Qingzhi didn't trust him, and if he didn't trust him, could he still come with him!

"Young master misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with you. It is about me and the Nine Swords Alliance. You are neither beneficial nor dangerous in it. It is really unnecessary..."

Guan Shao's brows and eyes widened when he heard this, but his eyes were still firm.

"The next time I go out to practice, I want to see the vastness of the rivers and lakes, naturally understand the dangers and be willing to take risks, but it is rare to meet a righteous and kind-hearted righteous man. I leave like this, but I feel disappointed. One day, when I recall the past and think about what happened today, I will always feel regret."

Yan Qingzhi moved her mouth, and when she heard Guan Shao's words, she didn't know what to say.

Guan Shao's skills are still good. She came to the bottom consciously, but the other party did not fortify her. Yan Qingzhi already knew about the number of kung fu tricks and the actual details.

Looking at Guan Shao's righteous face, if she is really willing to walk with Yan Qingzhi for a while, it will definitely be beneficial to her.

"Well... Mr. Guan doesn't know something. I won't stay in the gate city for too long, and I don't plan to erase the Crazy Blade Gate. Everything I do is just a whim..."

Yan Qingzhi put the ugly words in front of her. If Guan Shao's purpose is to remove the Crazy Sword Sect or the Nine Swords Alliance, please forgive her for being difficult to accompany her.

Guan Shao was not lost, he was still the same as before, looking at Yan Qingzhi with vigor and bravery in his eyes.

"Miss Su has already avenged the owner of the house, and Guan has nothing else to ask for, but simply wants to visit the rivers and lakes in another way!"

Having said all that, Yan Qingzhi had nothing to refuse.

"Then I have to trouble Master Guan to take care of him."

She cupped her hands and politely showed a cooperative attitude.

Guan Shao also greeted her in return, and said to her with a smile.

"Next door is the boudoir of a daughter's house. You should be able to find some old clothes. If Miss Su doesn't dislike it, she can go and return it first."

Yan Qingzhi didn't hesitate too much. The matter of Yi Rong and changing clothes could not be delayed. The sooner the better, she responded to Guan Shao's sentence and got up and went to the next room.

There are three rooms in this courtyard, but there is a warehouse next to the west courtyard wall. Yan Qingzhi glanced at it and went to the east room.

There was no lock on the door, so he opened it and walked in.

This room is not as big as the one just now, but there is a lot of furniture in it. Although it is old, it has been carefully cared for.

There was a washbasin stand at the entrance with a clean hand towel hanging on it, and a curtain made of rags hung on the window. The small pieces of floral fabric were cut into equal squares, and they were neatly stitched according to the color.

There is also a pot of flowers on the window sill, and the flowers are blooming beautifully.

Next to the windowsill was a dressing table, with a mirror, a wooden comb, a grate, a few vulgar jewelry, and a small box of rouge.

Next to the dresser was a red-painted box on which were placed a few gadgets and a sewing basket.

A canopy bed is next to the wooden box, with a light mosquito net hanging on the bed. Yan Qingzhi walked over and opened it, and found that the straw on the bed was very new, the quilt on the straw was also softer, and the quilt surface was a new flower cloth, as if Just finished not long ago.

On the other side of the room were tables, chairs, shelves, etc. They were clean and tidy. Yan Qingzhi didn't go to check them either. He just put the contents of the wooden box in the basket, opened the lid of the box, and rummaged inside. .

Most of the clothes were girls' clothes, embroidered with various colored patterns with slightly made threads. Yan Qingzhi found a few clothes that were not conspicuous.

The girl who lived here before was not taller than her, and her clothes and trousers were all shorter by a piece. She found a suitable cloth from the space and took a piece of it herself.

She listened to the movement of Guan Shao next door, and heard that the other party was also worried after rummaging through the boxes, so she calmed down. She sat on the dresser by the window, took out the things in her space, gave herself a simple disguise, and then The exposed skin was painted to look exactly like the people here.

Only then did he close the curtains and change his clothes. After he opened the curtains, he sat in the sun and painted all his skin without revealing any flaws.

Then he took apart the braid he had combed, put a double bun on himself, wrapped the two head ropes of the original owner, and put his soft sword and black lacquered wooden box into the space, Yan Qingzhi only kept one The dagger was pinned to his waist.

Then he took a backpack that was similar to the bright clothes and put it on the back, so he looked no different from the girls here.

After packing herself up, she got up and went out to the main house next door. Guan Shao frowned at the few bunts placed on the table, and was startled when she heard the knock on the door, and then she remembered that it should be Yan. Qingzhi came over and turned to look at the door.

In such weather, his door was not closed, he just waited for some ventilation to dissipate some heat.

When he saw the people standing outside, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up.

"Who is the girl?"

Yan Qingzhi coughed lightly, and her eyes flashed with pride, but she turned her back to the light, and Guan Shao didn't look at it as carefully.

"Master Guan, it's me..."

Hearing Yan Qingzhi's voice, Guan Shao's face flashed surprise, but he calmed down again.

"Miss Su actually has the ability to change face!"

Having said this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue the following words. He said just now that he would follow Yan Qingzhi, but Yan Qingzhi merged into the crowd in a blink of an eye, but he became the one who held back him.

"Yeah! If you are interested in the little trick of carving insects, I can teach you, Guan Gongzi. You should be able to use it in the future."

Yan Qingzhi has also studied disguise over the years. With the guidance of Su He and Xue Jinrong, she can know far more comprehensive and extensive disguise than Yan Qingzhu found in Liu Huaixiang. , will not have any effect on itself.

Guan Shao was not happy to be pointed, but looked at Yan Qingzhi's age, worried that she made a mistake on impulse.

"I'm afraid this will embarrass you, Miss Su!?"

This world pays attention to sweeping away their own treasures, and they all feel that they have few things in their own homes. I have never heard of anyone who will spread what they know at will.

Yan Qingzhi waved his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense with him.

"It's not difficult, it's just some superficial things, I researched it myself!"

Saying that, she had already sat at the table, and flipped Guan Shao's clothes on the table.

"This dress doesn't match your temperament, and the size is too different. It's not suitable to wear. If Guan Gongzi doesn't dislike it, I can help you change it."

Guan Shao then reacted from Yan Qingzhi's atmosphere and quickly thanked him.

"It's going to bother Miss Su like that!"

Yan Qingzhi waved his hand.

"Don't bother."

As he spoke, he took out a few china bottles from the bag he was carrying and placed them on the table.

"These are to darken the skin. Apply layer by layer, apply a thinner layer, and then apply the next layer. Guan Gongzi can try it out for himself... There is a mirror in the next room."

Yan Qingzhi took out something from her small bag and sent Guan Shao to do her own work.

Guan Shao took the small porcelain bottle and was about to say something when Yan Qingzhi took another brush and put it on the table, telling Guan Shao, who was about to speak, to shut up immediately, and only raised his hand to salute, but was caught by Yan Qing again. Gardenia blocks.

"Guan Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite. It's too troublesome to salute like this, and it's strange to be seen by outsiders."

The door is open and the people in the city are not open. Most people don't know what the correct etiquette is. They only bow, kneel and kowtow.

The people in the gang are more particular, but no matter how particular they are, they can't be more particular than those who read books like Guan Shao and Yan Qingzhi.

Two people who have been saluting look like fools when most people don't.

This remark made Guan Shaomao suddenly open, and hurriedly catered to him.

"As it should be!"

He was about to salute again, but he froze in midair as soon as he shot.

He smiled to ease the embarrassment, and then said something to Yan Qingzhi, went to the next door, and shook his head when he left, always feeling as if he had nothing to do and was uncomfortable.

Yan Qingzhi watched him leave, and then took out the needle and thread and cloth head, looked at the clothes on the table, frowned and gestured a few times before starting to change.

When Guan Shao wiped himself all over and changed his hairstyle again, Yan Qingzhi's side also changed almost the same, let Guan Shao go back, and found a cloth towel to wrap his hair around, he saw. The toilet is not too different from the people outside.

However, unlike Yan Qingzhi's calmness, Guan Shao, who was wearing bunts, always felt that he was a little too exposed.

People like them are so disheveled when they are dressed like this, how can they calm down, seeing him shrinking his arms and trying to hide, Yan Qingzhi is very speechless.

You are not a man!
