After walking out of the door of Rujia Restaurant, Bai Qi looked back at Rujia Restaurant. In the corridor on the second floor, Bai Yu stood alone, watching Bai Qi quietly.

Then, Bai Yu, who was upstairs, nodded slightly.

call!

Bai Qi breathed out a heavy breath, turned around resolutely, and walked towards Shuiyun Sect with firm steps.

Walking on the street, a gust of cold wind blew. Bai Qi couldn't help but tighten his tight clothes to prevent the biting cold air from coming into contact with the skin through the gaps in the clothes.

I don't know whether it's because it's early or because it's cold, but there are only a few people on the street now.

Bai Qi, who was walking against the cold wind, suddenly raised his head, as if he thought of something.

"By the way, I have to count how many talismans I have!" After muttering to himself, Bai Qi took out the talismans he had prepared in advance from the storage ring.

White Tiger Talisman, three pieces.

Star Absorbing Soul Gathering Talisman, three pieces.

Demon Soul Talisman, four pieces.

Karma Fire Talisman, six pieces.

Binding Talisman, six pieces.

Teleport Talisman, ten pieces.

Royal White Talisman, four pieces.

Explosive symbols, several.

Several magical talismans.

A talisman, indeed.

Restoration Talisman, five pieces.

After counting, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing else, these should be enough.

After putting the other talismans back into the storage ring, Bai Qi sighed as he looked at the five recovery talismans in his hand.

"It's a pity that the recovery charm doesn't work..."

Bai Qi remembered that when Long Hanyan taught him to draw the recovery talisman, he once said that as the strength becomes stronger, the source energy restored by this low-level recovery talisman will also decrease.

Based on his current strength, if he uses this kind of recovery charm, it is estimated that he can only recover one level at most.

"Help, don't kill me!"

While Bai Qi was looking at the recovery talisman, he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from the alley in front of him on the left.

He quickly put the recovery charm into the storage ring, ran towards the alley ahead on the left, and then hid at the corner of the alley to observe the specific situation inside.

I saw a man with short hair and a fierce look in the alley. He was wearing a cotton coat and a black robe. He was holding a dagger in his hand and was walking towards a woman step by step.

This woman was facing away from Bai Qi at the moment. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her. As she moved back, the ponytail swayed.

She was wearing white linen clothes, but unlike that man, her clothes were very thin.

She didn't know whether it was because she was frightened by the ferocious man or because of the cold weather, but her body was trembling slightly.

Since this woman had her back to Bai Qi, Bai Qi didn't know what she looked like. Judging from her height and back, she should be a small and exquisite woman.

"Please, let me go. I'm not Li Tiechui's daughter as you said. You must have mistaken me! My name is Zuo Qin! My father's name is Zuo!" The woman who called herself Zuo Qin was about to turn around when she saw the man's fierce expression.

Escape.

But how could a man let her escape? The moment Zuo Qin turned around, the man grabbed her ponytail.

"ah!"

Zuo Qin was in pain as his hair was scratched, and he couldn't help but scream out in surprise and step back.

"Stop fooling me, and ask your father to hand over the money quickly, or I will sell you to a brothel!" The man threatened Zuo Qin fiercely.

"I'm really not Li Tiechui's daughter..." Zuo Qin was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard the man say that he wanted to sell her to a brothel.

.

Brothel? What is that?

Bai Qi, who was hiding at the corner of the alley, looked a little confused when he heard the man mention the word brothel.

Since he was a child, he had been staying in the small village of Hexu Village. Naturally, he had never heard anyone talk about brothels. Moreover, the books he read when he was a child were all screened by his mother, Chen Xueping, so there was nothing related to brothels.

Unaware.

"You don't admit it, do you?" The fierce man sneered and said, "Since you are unwilling to tell me where your father is, then don't blame me!"

With that said, the man let go of Zuo Qin's braid, grabbed her arm, turned around and dragged her out of the alley.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't dare to continue hiding. He cleared his throat, stood up straight, with a trace of anger on his face, and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, the man stopped and turned his head to glance at Bai Qi.

After seeing Bai Qi walking towards him, he dragged Zuo Qin, turned around, and faced Bai Qi with a hint of threat on his face.

After the two of them turned around, Bai Qi could see the woman's face clearly.

Judging from her face alone, Zuo Qin can be considered a beauty.

His thin body, face that was red from the cold, eyes full of mist, and a panicked expression gave him a feeling of pity.

"Boy, who are you?" After the man saw the scar on Bai Qi's left face, he was startled for a moment, and then he spoke.

"I'm just a passerby, but the last thing I want to see is a bully like you." Bai Qi put his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep and his face was unfathomable.

Ever since he saw Miss Jiu's movement in Guanmushan, he became obsessed with it and would imitate it from time to time.

"Boy, don't think that because you have a scar on your face, you just want to imitate other people's heroes to save the beauty." At this point, the man suddenly paused, glanced at Zuo Qin, then looked at Bai Qi and said, "You're a little brat, Mao

They are not even tall enough, but seeing how pretty this woman is, I wanted to have a blind date with her."

His face turned pale!

What on earth was this man thinking? He didn't even think about it himself.

"Sir, save me!" Zuo Qin felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw when he saw Bai Qi appear, a look of surprise appeared on his pretty face that was red from the cold.

"Brother, why do you want to take her away? I don't think the eldest brother is a treacherous person. There must be a reason." Bai Qi cupped his hands to the man, with a smile on his face and said in a polite tone.

"Hmph!" Seeing Bai Qi's kind tone, the man's expression also slowed down, and he snorted coldly: "Her gambler father, Li Tiechui, came to our gambling house to gamble, but lost, and owes our gambling house a thousand

I promised to pay back the money in three months, but more than half a year has passed and there is still no response, so our shopkeeper called me to collect the debt."

"Then have you ever seen or heard that Li Tiechui has a daughter?" Bai Dian nodded and then asked.

"How come I haven't seen it before? I once saw Li Tiechui shopping with her on the street!" The man glanced at Zuo Qin next to him and retorted dissatisfied.

"Oh? This is a little strange." When Bai Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved back and forth between Zuo Qin and Zuo Qin, and said doubtfully: "You said you saw her shopping with Li Tiechui, and she

But my surname is Zuo and my father is Zuo, who is telling lies?"

Seeing this, Zuo Qin's face suddenly became anxious, and he said in a panic: "Master, what I said is true. My father's name is Zuo. If you don't believe it, you can ask my neighbor!"

"Don't look at me. Do you think it's necessary for me to tell lies?" The man said calmly when he saw Bai Qi looking at him.

"It seems that we can know who is real and who is fake only by going to this girl's home and meeting her father." Bai Qi crossed his arms to his chest and smiled slightly.

After Bai Qi proposed to go to Zuo Qin's house and meet her father, neither Zuo Qin nor the man objected.

So, under the leadership of Zuo Qin, Bai Qi and the man came to Zuo Qin's house.

Zuo Qin's home is extremely simple, just a thatched house with no walls, only four pillars, and ventilation on all sides.

It can be clearly seen from outside the house that there is almost no furniture in the house, only a table with peeling paint, and a broken leg. It was cushioned by a stone, which ensured the balance of the table and prevented it from tilting.

On the left side of the table is a simple stove. The pot is steaming. It seems that the fire in the stove has just been extinguished.

Bai Qi followed Zuo Qin into her home, only to find that she didn't even have a bed in her home. It could be said that she was completely impoverished.

In the northeast corner of the thatched house, there is a pile of hay.

"Dad, wake up, a guest is here." Zuo Qin pushed aside the hay on the surface, revealing a middle-aged man.

Bai Qi took a look and realized that this middle-aged man should be Zuo Qin's father, Zuo Qin.

The middle-aged man was wearing a black tattered gown, curled up and lying in a pile of hay. It seemed that Zuo Qin moved the hay covering his body and felt the cold and shivered slightly.

"Dad, wake up!" Zuo Qin shook his body with his hands.

"What's wrong? Is the meal ready?" Zuo Qin opened his eyes and looked at Zuo Qin in confusion.

"A guest is coming." Zuo Qin pointed at Bai Qi and the fierce-looking man standing outside the house.

He stood up and looked at Bai Qi with confusion, then looked at the man standing outside the house.

After seeing the man's face clearly, his left and right eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Zhao Ergou! Why are you here?"

After saying this, Zuo Zuo seemed to think of something, his expression changed, he turned around and ran away.

But the man named Zhao Ergou obviously would not let him go. Before he could run ten steps, Zhao Ergou had already caught up with him and dragged him back into the house.

When Bai Qi saw this scene, he glanced at Zuo Qin. It was obvious that Zuo Qin was telling lies.
