Li Jiuyou sat alone on the roof, looking up at the stars, wondering what he was thinking.
Click!
The tiles creaked softly, and a figure jumped onto the roof and walked towards her.
Without looking back, Li Jiuyou knew it was Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu also held two jars of rice wine brewed by the hotel owner. He came to sit next to Li Jiuyou and gave one jar to Li Jiuyou.
Li Jiuyou uncorked the bottle, took two sips, and said, "Are you curious about my origins?"
Chu Tianshu smiled: "Are you curious about my past?"
"curious."
Li Jiuyou took another sip of wine, "But I know I shouldn't ask."
Chu Tianshu said: "Everyone has the right to keep their own secrets. As long as it does not cause harm to others, they have the right not to tell them."
Li Jiuyou's beautiful eyes flashed: "Thank you."
Chu Tianshu took a sip of wine, stood up, and joked: "Go to bed early after drinking, otherwise you will be in a trance tomorrow, so don't lead the wrong way."
Li Jiuyou looked up at Chu Tianshu: "Can you chat with me again?"
"sure."
Chu Tianshu sat down on the eaves again.
Li Jiuyou's eyes were far-sighted: "My father is also from Wanjia, and he was the first person in Wanjia Village to go to college. After graduation, he refused the high salary outside and took my mother back to the mountains.
He wants to lead his people to wealth."
Chu Tianshu took a sip of wine: "What happened next?"
Li Jiuyou's beautiful eyes were full of sadness: "Because my father taught the people a lot about freedom and told them many wonderful things about the outside world, the previous head of the Wan family felt that my father's existence would affect his view of the Wan family.
Taking control killed my father."
Chu Tianshu listened quietly and said nothing.
There is no way to comfort this kind of thing.
After finishing the wine in his hand, Chu Tianshu patted Li Jiuyou on the shoulder: "When I go to Wanjia tomorrow, I will definitely help you out."
"Thanks."
Li Jiuyou buried her pretty face between her knees, tears streaming down her face.
Chu Tianshu didn't say anything more, jumped off the roof and returned to the room.
Some injuries need to be healed silently by oneself.
Early the next morning, Chu Tianshu and others had breakfast, brought some food, and set off into the mountains.
Not long after they left, a team followed them in great force.
Because Li Jiuyou led the way, Chu Tianshu and his party traveled smoothly.
Shortly after entering the mountain, Chu Tianshu suddenly stopped.
Chu Xidao next to him asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Chu Tianshu said in a deep voice: "There is someone behind you."
"Is there anyone?"
Chu Xidao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Zhao Nan, go and have a look."
"yes."
Huangfu Zhaonan clasped his fists in response and quickly turned back.
"Father, take them and continue moving forward."
Chu Tianshu said something to Chu Xidao, turned around and followed Huangfu Zhaonan.
The two of them walked back for a while. Chu Tianshu pointed at the big tree next to him, soared into the sky, and using only a branch, he rushed to the top of the tree and hid himself in the crown.
Huangfu Zhaonan also followed suit and hid in another big tree nearby.
Not long after, a figure quickly approached the hiding place of Chu Tianshu and Huangfu Zhaonan, and took out a dagger and carved a mark on the tree trunk.
Chu Tianshu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Because the person following them turned out to be Tang Mengyuan.
Huangfu Zhaonan looked at Chu Tianshu and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Chu Tianshu shook his head gently.
After Tang Mengyuan left in the direction of Chu Xidao and others, Huangfu Zhaonan lowered his voice and said: "Just now we took advantage of his unpreparedness and took action at the same time. There is a high probability that we can kill him. There are few opponents in the Xuan Realm. We will meet on this trip."
It went much smoother.”
Chu Tianshu smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, keeping him is useful."
Although Huangfu Zhaonan was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Chu Tianshu did not go down, Huangfu Zhaonan also stayed there.
About ten minutes later, a group of dozens of people, both men and women, came from a distance, each carrying weapons.
Seeing these people appear, Huangfu Zhaonan's eyes suddenly froze.
A man checked the mark left by Tang Mengyuan on the tree, then turned around and gestured to the others.
The group of people followed the marks left by Tang Mengyuan and quickly chased forward.
After those people had gone away, Chu Tianshu and Huangfu Zhaonan came down from the tree.
Huangfu Zhaonan's eyes were solemn: "I didn't expect so many masters to come. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome this time."
Chu Tianshu said: "Do you know those people?"
Huangfu Zhaonan said: "Not all of them know each other. Among those people just now are Yue Yunzhang, the head of the Yue family, Lu Songyang, the head of the Lu family, and Su Fengyang, the elder of the Su family in the south."
"So many big names are here?
And join together."
Chu Tianshu smiled coldly, "It seems they are determined to keep me in the mountains."
Huangfu Zhaonan was also a little helpless.
He felt that Chu Xidao was no longer afraid of heaven and earth, but when it came to his ability to cause trouble, Chu Xidao was still dwarfed by Chu Tianshu.
Huangfu Zhaonan said in a deep voice: "Let Li Jiuyou find a way to get rid of them. Let's go to Wanjia Village to save the people and then leave. Try not to meet these people."
"Since they want to keep me, then I'll keep them all here."
Chu Tianshu smiled coldly, spread out his body and shot into the dense forest.
Huangfu Zhaonan stepped up to follow.
The two of them bypassed those who were following them from the side and met up with Chu Xidao and others in front.
Chu Xidao came up to us and asked, "Who is following us?"
Huangfu Zhaonan stepped forward and whispered a few words in Chu Xidao's ear.
After hearing this, Chu Xidao's eyes became slightly solemn, but he didn't say much.
The weakest among everyone was probably Qiao Shiyuan, but not long after they left, Chu Tianshu carried her on his back, so it didn't slow down everyone's pace.
Even though Li Jiuyou, who was familiar with the road, led the way, they didn't stop for a moment and only approached Wanjia Village in the evening.
Climbing up a hill, they could see a tall wooden building in the distance.
Li Jiuyou said that the wooden building was where the head of the Wan family lived and usually handled affairs in the village.
According to Li Jiuyou's analysis, Qiao Shuqi and Qiao Shiyao were probably imprisoned there as well.
Underneath the wooden building, there is a large area of bamboo houses. Under the reflection of the setting sun, they are green and crystal clear, which is very beautiful.
Further down, there is a rumbling paddy field, and you can see people working in the fields while holding buffaloes.
It has a peaceful atmosphere without any hint of modernity.
Suddenly, people feel as if they have traveled through time and space and returned to thousands of years ago.
After resting for a while, Li Jiuyou led everyone through the bamboo forest on the other side.
Qin Shaoyou, on the other hand, brought Kuang Meier, who was dressed in camouflage, and two brothers, Ren Changfeng and Ren Yingying, carrying several boxes to find a high ground suitable for sniping and providing long-range cover.
