At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 719 Invitation

Gao Bufan and A Qing returned to the top of the cliff by the river along the original road. The former stopped suddenly and listened carefully. Nothing unusual.

"Brother Gao, what's the matter?" Ah Qing asked suspiciously.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go down."

Ah Qing hurriedly climbed down the cliff, not wanting to stay for a moment, obviously frightened by the "Tiger God" just now.Gao Bufan glanced thoughtfully at the mountains to the south, and then climbed down the cliff unhurriedly. Just now, he vaguely heard a sound from that direction, like a flute but not a flute, like a flute but not a flute. I don't know who is playing the flute in the mountains and mountains.

Let's say that Gao Bufan and A Qing climbed back to the position of the rock crevice, the sun had risen so high at this time, the sunlight finally shone into the rock crevice, they sat down to rest and wait.

Gao Bufan suddenly woke up to something, and asked: "Xiaoqing, I heard that you Miao people know Gu skills, I wonder if it's true or not?"

Ah Qing grinned and said: "If it was someone else, I would definitely not tell him, but Brother Gao, of course it doesn't matter. In fact, this kind of statement is just spreading rumors and exaggerating. Gu worms are very difficult to raise. Days must be fed with their own blood. Take us Bai Miao for example, only wizards and a limited number of people in the clan have this ability. If ordinary Miao people say that they know Gu, they will most likely scare people. "

Gao Bufan suddenly said: "So that's the case, then will you and Lingmei meet?"

"Guess!" Ah Qing said triumphantly.

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "I guess you won't, but Lingmei might."

Ah Qing asked in astonishment, "Why?"

Gao Bufan took a wild fruit and wiped it, took a bite out of it, and said with a smile: "Your personality is irritable, and your mind is simple. You must not be able to learn such a skill as raising Gu."

Ah Qing scratched the back of his head and smiled and said, "Brother Gao really knows things like a god, so why does Brother Gao know that my younger sister knows Gu skills?"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Your sister really knows how?"

A Qing nodded and said: "A little bit, she only started to learn from the wizards in the clan the year before last, and she still doesn't learn well."

Gao Bufan was stunned: "So it turns out that the owner of the tea stall at Yiling Wharf, Lao Wangtou, was your sister's hands and feet, right?"

A Qing gloated and said, "Whoever asked that group of people to speak ill of us behind their backs, A-Mei just taught him a little lesson."

"The Gu technique is so miraculous, how did your sister do it? I didn't seem to notice her doing it at the time." Gao Bufan said awe-inspiringly.

Ah Qing said with a smile, "My sister took advantage of Lao Wangtou's contact with Zhong Laoliu at the pier. Of course, Brother Gao didn't notice."

"So that's how it is!" Gao Bufan suddenly said, he wanted to ask how the Gu worm was cast, but he stopped, after all, this is the core secret of the family's ancestral craftsmanship, and Ah Qing doesn't know Gu skills, so he may not know, Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't say it.

Ah Qing suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Gao, is he worried that sister will use Gu skills on you?"

Gao Bufan said solemnly: "It's a little bit, after all, I am so handsome and handsome, and it is not surprising that my sister covets my beauty."

Ah Qing couldn't help but have black lines all over his head, he was dumbfounded, he couldn't laugh or cry, this brother was too narcissistic.

Gao Bufan laughed, patted Ah Qing on the shoulder and said: "Just kidding, I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a wife, and more than one, let your sister give up!"

Hearing this, Ah Qing enviously said: "I knew it, but is your second brother married?"

"That's one of my daughter-in-laws." Gao Bufan secretly said, but asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Ah Qing was a little embarrassed and said: "I'll ask for Amei!"

Gao Bufan almost choked, patted his chest, spat out the fruit core in his throat, and said in a broken voice, "Could it be that your sister has taken a fancy to my brother?"

Ah Qing was a little annoyed and said: "No? Brother Ling is indeed handsome, but my younger sister is also not bad. Among the ten miles and eight villages, my younger sister is the most beautiful."

"Ahem, cough, I didn't mean that. Lingmei really has good eyesight, but I'm afraid she and my brother... are not suitable." Gao Bufan looked strange.

A Qing asked suspiciously: "Brother Gao, how do you know it's not suitable? Could it be that you yourself have taken a fancy to my younger sister, so you want to win her love? But Brother Gao, you already have a wife, and there is more than one, which is too greedy. "

Gao Bufan couldn't help crying and laughing: "Brother Ah Qing, Brother Qing, your imagination is too rich, and the word "sword to win love" is not used in this way, anyway, I don't care about this matter. It’s fine for my younger brother to stay in the Miao Village and marry in.”

Ah Qing said happily, "You said it yourself."

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "Yes, I said it... Wait a minute, is there a kind of love Gu in your Miao people's Gu art?"

Ah Qing grinned, "cunningly" said: "You don't have to worry about that."

Gao Bufan coughed lightly and said, "Does love gu have any effect on women?"

A Qing rolled his eyes and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If it's useless, why call it a love gu?"

"I mean, between two men, two women...is that useful?"

A Qing looked at Gao Bufan with weird eyes: "Love is a matter between a man and a woman. Naturally, one man and one woman are required. Could it be...Brother Gao, do you have a dragon-yang addiction?"

A Qing was puzzled, and moved back subconsciously, and it seemed that goosebumps fell all over the floor.Gao Bufan was very speechless, almost wanted to kick this guy into the Yangtze River, but since the so-called love Gu needs a man and a woman to work, then he can rest assured.

"Look, what is that!"

"It seems to be...my elder brother's clothes!"

Gao Bufan and A Qing were chatting between the rocks, when suddenly two familiar voices came from the river below, and the tone was full of excitement and surprise.

Gao Bufan and Ah Qing poked their heads out at the same time, and they saw a simple wooden raft floating down not far from the upper reaches. There was a "man" and a woman on the raft, and they were Yang Qingruo and Miao girl Ami.

The four of them looked at each other, and they were all extremely excited. Yang Qingruo's bright eyes turned red, tears almost fell out, and the heart that had been hanging tightly was also let go.

"Brother!" Miao Nu aunt cried out excitedly, and hastily propped the raft to the edge of the cliff.

Gao Bufan and A Qing jumped onto the wooden squall, Yang Qingruo looked Gao Bufan up and down, and found that he was unharmed, so he was relieved, and with tears in his eyes, Gao Bufan looked like a daughter, and luckily the Miao brothers and sisters also She was very excited about the reunion, but she didn't notice Yang Qingruo's strangeness.

Gao Bufan's heart warmed up, he shook Yang Qingruorou and said with a smile: "I knew that the second brother would find him."

It's not easy for Yang Qingruo to say something to blame at this time, worry, reproach, tenderness, and joy are all in his eyes.

At this time, after Ah Qing and Ah Mi had met each other, the former said gratefully: "Thanks to Brother Gao for saving me several times, otherwise I might not even be able to find the body now."

A flash of surprise flashed in Ah Mi's eyes. It is rare for such a proud and stubborn person, Brother Gao, to call this person Brother Gao, and it can be seen that the respect comes from the heart!

"Thank you Mr. Gao for saving my brother's life!" Auntie saluted Gao Bufan solemnly.

Gao Bufan said calmly: "It's nothing more than a little effort, Xiaoqing and I are considered friends now, so you don't have to be polite, Auntie."

Xiaoqing?

This time, a weird look flashed in the eyes of both Auntie and Yang Qingruo, obviously surprised by the "friendship" these two men gained overnight.

"It's a piece of cake for Mr. Gao, but it's a life-saving grace for my elder brother. It just so happens that our village is in Linjiang County upstream. If Mr. Gao doesn't dislike it, why don't you visit our village? Let us brothers and sisters enjoy the friendship of landlords." A concubine secretly glanced at Yang Qingruo and said.

"it is good!"

"not good!"

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo said in unison, Ah Qing scratched his head and said, "Which one of you brothers has the final say?"

"he!"

"he!"

Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo pointed at each other and blurted out at the same time.

A Qing and A Concubine looked at each other, Yang Qingruo's face was slightly hot, and said indifferently: "Of course it's your elder brother who has the final say."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Although I am the eldest brother, I also respect your opinion."

Ah Qing grinned with a toothache and said, "Brother Gao, do you want to go to our village?"

Gao Bufan coughed lightly and said, "Miss Auntie's kindness is hard to turn down. It just so happens that our brother's trip to Sichuan is also for the purpose of studying and gaining knowledge, so let's bother you two along the way."

Ah Qing was overjoyed when he heard the words, "That's great, but Brother Gao, didn't you say that you were going to Shu for an important matter? Why are you talking about a study tour now?"

Gao Bufan said without changing his face: "Anyway, I will drop by the way, and the study tour will not delay the work!"

Ah Qing let out a cry, but Ah Mi glanced at Gao Bufan suspiciously. This woman's thoughts were obviously not at the same level as Ah Qing's, and she was not so easy to fool.

"I don't know what Mr. Gao wants to do? Maybe my concubine can help." Miao girl's concubine asked tentatively.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Miss Aunt has a heart, if there is any need for help at that time, I will definitely ask for it."

Yang Qing glanced at Gao Bufan thoughtfully, and said calmly: "Brother, let's talk when we get ashore, the others are still waiting upstream."

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "Second brother is right, let's talk with everyone first."

So the four of them worked together to drive the raft upstream.
