The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 108 New arrival
Lu Qian frowned. Xiaofeng should not run around when she came to this strange place.

He got up and put on his clothes, got out of bed, put away the two paper brides on the stool, and walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, the sun was already high in the sky.

The door of the room next door to him just opened, and a man came out of it. When he looked up and saw Lu Qian, a strange expression appeared on his face.

That expression can only be interpreted as envy.

Seeing Lu Qian turning his head to look at him, the man smiled awkwardly and nodded at him.

Lu Qian just nodded slightly, then walked to the front hall.

The meal time has passed, and the dining hall is very empty.Behind the counter, only the shopkeeper was sitting there, taking a nap.

Lu Qian still didn't see Xiaofeng here, and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He walked to the counter and knocked on it with his fingers.

The shopkeeper woke up suddenly, looked up, looked at Lu Qian sleepily, and then suddenly woke up, stood up quickly, looked at Lu Qian with apologetic face, and said: "Ah, guest officer, you are awake. "

Woke up?

Lu Qian frowned, and before he could ask a question, the shopkeeper said regretfully: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, this kind of thing is really not what the shop wants to see. But you also know, our little book... ..."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Qian's heart suddenly "thumped", and before he finished speaking, he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my wife?"

"Ma'am? Your wife is okay..."

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Lu Qian's fierce eyes, and looked at him in surprise.

"Oh..." The shopkeeper immediately said: "This matter is really not about the small shop. It was your wife who kept saying that you were sleeping and you should not be disturbed, so..."

Ma'am all right?

Lu Qian's expression immediately eased, and he asked, "Where is my wife?"

The shopkeeper said: "I'm in the stables behind with our shop assistant."

"The stables? What?"

The shopkeeper said apologetically, "That's it. This morning, the shop assistant went to the stables to take care of the horses, but unexpectedly found that your horse was lost. When I heard the news, I didn't dare to neglect it, so I hurried to your room to knock on your horse. The door. After knocking for a long time, I saw your wife come out, so I explained the situation to her.

Unexpectedly, your wife actually said that you were sleeping and would not be disturbed.We have no choice but to…”

The shopkeeper rambled on for a long time, but in summary, there was only one sentence:

Customer, your horse is lost, but the store only provides a place to park the horse, and is not obligated to keep it.

It turned out that the horse was lost, which frightened him!
Lu Qian immediately sensed with his mental power, and his two paper horses were indeed no longer in the stables, but to a place seven or eight miles away to the northwest.

It's not too far.

As long as these two horses exist, they will continue to consume his mental power.

However, the mental power consumed by the paper horses can be said to be so small for Lu Qian today that he forgot to put away the two paper horses last night.

Lu Qian asked the shopkeeper, "How many horses were there in the stable last night, and how many were lost?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied: "There are four horses and five mules in total, only two horses of the guest are missing."

It seems that the horse thief's goal is very clear, and he is aiming at his two horses.

As soon as he arrived at Dinghezhou last night, he was followed by someone.

The shopkeeper looked around and saw that there was no one in the shop, so he still put his hands on the counter, leaned forward, and said to Lu Qian in a low voice: "Guest officer, I think this horse thief has probably set his sights on you a long time ago." If you know who stole it, go to the city and report it to the officials.”

Lu Qian looked at him and asked, "Will the government take care of this kind of thing?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Then... that depends on your ability, guest officer."

After saying that, he winked at Lu Qian, the meaning was obvious, just to ask him to spend some money.

As soon as money was mentioned, Lu Qian suddenly remembered that he still had more than 2000 taels of silver in the house.

Lu Qian asked, "How long has my wife been there?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's been a while."

Lu Qian said: "You send someone to call her, and tell her to come back immediately."

"Okay, I'll go and call myself."

While talking, the shopkeeper turned out of the counter and walked quickly to the door.

Lu Qian returned to his room, sat there quietly and waited.

He thought about what happened before and after he came to Dinghezhou yesterday, and he was basically sure that the horse thief must have something to do with yesterday's boat boss.

Lu Qian didn't care much about the two paper horses.What's more, as long as he moves his mind, the two living horses will immediately turn into two paper-cut horses again.

However, even so, Lu Qian couldn't take the two paper-cuts back from the air, and had to pick them up in person.

It's just that he couldn't see the perspective of the paper-cut galloping horses, so he didn't know what was going on around the two horses and whether there was anyone beside them.

If there is someone, it is inconvenient for him to use spells at will, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble if someone sees it.

Let's wait for Xiaofeng to come back first.

The stables were at the back of the inn, practically separated from his room by a wall.After getting the shopkeeper's letter, Lu Qian exerted his mental power and was able to sense Xiaofeng's location.

Nowadays, for people he is familiar with, Lu Qian can easily tell them apart by using his spiritual sense.

Even if it is a stranger, as long as he meets him once, he can lock on a certain characteristic of the other party.In this way, when he perceives with mental power, he can distinguish a specific person.

It's a pity that due to limited brain power, he still can't remember so many people.

However, as the level of mental power continues to increase, Lu Qian understands that sooner or later, his mental power induction will be able to detect more and more accurately like the divine sense of a cultivator.

Not long after, Xiaofeng opened the door and came in, followed by a shop clerk.

Xiaofeng said angrily: "Brother Qian, they lost our horse..."

The store clerk's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said, "Ma'am, what you said is not right, it can't be said that we lost it, I..."

Lu Qian frowned in disgust, and glared at the shop assistant, who immediately shut up and stood at the door loosely.

Lu Qian waved at him and said, "Let's go."

"Eh."

When the store clerk heard the words, as if he had received an amnesty, he immediately withdrew and closed the door behind them.

Seeing this, Xiaofeng didn't say much, walked straight to Lu Qian, and asked in a low voice, "Sir, our two horses..."

Lu Qian frowned and said, "We are in a strange place, you should be careful and don't run out by yourself."

Xiaofeng said: "I know. But if the horse is lost, we can't ignore it, even if it's..."

Lu Qian reached out and knocked on the table, and said: "I'm not talking about this, I just remind you. You grew up in the mountains, and I know you are brave. But here is no better than Zhaojiatun. There are more people and more bad people. I'm afraid You have been tricked."

Xiaofeng widened her eyes in surprise, and said, "Why? There are people who abduct children, and adults like me..."

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly closed her mouth and stopped talking.

In this era of starvation, there are abducted children, but not many abducted adults.

It is not an easy task for people in this era to take care of one more adult to eat.

However, beautiful women are excluded.

Although Xiaofeng is said to be a married woman, she is still young and has never been out of the house.They are newcomers and don't know the situation of Dinghezhou yet, so it's not a big mistake to be careful.

Xiaofeng lowered her head, drew a circle on the ground with her toes, and said, "Understood, my lord."

"Ah."

Lu Qian said: "Stay in the room and don't move. I'll squint for a while, so don't let people disturb me."

Xiaofeng looked at Lu Qian with some surprise, and thought to herself: "Brother Qian didn't wake up until so late, why did he have to sleep again? Could it be that he was really too tired last night? No, those two girls, let them talk sweetly in the future. And don't let them go to bed."
