17. Mindfulness(1/2)

"Senior brother, Shan...uh, Taihang has sent another letter."

The next morning, Chen Qiu was too lazy to cook, so he sent Qingqing girl to buy some food outside. As a result, before he finished practicing his sword skills, Qingqing held a package of oil paper and rushed back to the escort agency happily.

Because there was a boy who broke the iron next to him, Qingqing did not call out the name of the mountain ghost, but when he heard "Taihang", Chen Qiu knew that this was another letter from the mountain ghost.

"Where are the food you bought?"

Chen Qiu took the oil paper bag and looked at Qingqing with empty hands, he asked:

"What will we eat this morning?"

"Oh, it's not important to read letters when eating."

Qingqing blushed and waved her hand randomly, and asked Chen Qiu to open the envelope.

"Xiao Tie, go to Uncle Liu's place next door and buy some sugar cakes and fruits."

Chen Qiu was not in a hurry to open the letter, took out a few taels of silver from the counter and handed it to the iron-cut boy. He told him in a gentle tone:

"You have a big appetite and it's time to grow your body. Buy more and buy some cooked beef. You can spend the extra money yourself and buy some gadgets for yourself."

"oh."

The folded iron boy who was diligently wiping the table took the money. He hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly:

"Brother Chen Qiu, can I do my clothes? I can't wear yours all the time, right? This size is not very suitable."

"Ah, I was negligent."

Chen Qiu patted his forehead and gave him a bunch of money. He said:

"No wonder you've always seen you wear weird clothes these days. Your shoulders are too wide and my clothes are really not suitable. You go to the ready-to-wear shop and check it out. If you really can't do it, just customize it.

Don’t go to other streets, just on Luoyue Shopping Street, there are neighbors, and they won’t cheat you.”

"Thank you, brother."

Ji Tie smiled shyly, took the money and walked out of the escort agency.

After leaving with iron, Chen Qiu picked up the letter-demolting knife. He glanced at Qingqing and opened the envelope.

As usual, there are several folded letter papers and a book.

"Brother Shangui's handwriting is getting better and better."

Qingqing lay behind her senior brother's chair, looking at the letter in Chen Qiu's hand, she praised her, Chen Qiu nodded and said:

"There are also a lot fewer typos. It seems that that guy has been working hard recently."

For more than half a year, Shan Gui basically maintained the frequency of letters per month. Of course, this road is inconvenient, and there is always a delay in sending letters, but it is not a big deal.

Last winter, everything was peaceful in Taihang Mountains, but after the beginning of spring, there was a little turmoil there.

The Northern Dynasties sent people into the mountain again, as if they were desperate and wanted to find the ruins of the immortals.

"Another group of Northern Dynasties died in the Taihang Mountains."

Chen Qiu handed Qingqing the read letter, and he frowned and said:

"What's wrong with the Northern Dynasties? Even if you treat human life as a mustard, there should be a limit. It's really hard to understand just sending it out in waves."

"I heard that the Northern Dynasty National Master is a member of the Demon Sect."

Qingqing lay on the table, skillfully flipping through books and translating the secret letter from Shan Gui, while saying to Chen Qiu without raising his head:

"It is said that he is the leader of Tongwu Sect, one of the seven sects of the Demon Sect. Those poems say that the leader of Tongwu Sect was transformed into monsters in Changbai Mountain. Helping the Northern Dynasties was to destroy the Southern Dynasties so that demons and ghosts would reappear in the world."

"There are no monsters in this world, Qingqing."

Chen Qiu sighed, and once again tried to correct the youngest sister's incorrect views, he said:

"A person will not become a demon even if he dies. You should listen less operas and read more books. I have told you many times that knowledge is the power."

"If there are no ghosts and gods, then why are Uncle Liu and others worshiping Buddha every day?"

Qingqing asked while copying words from the book:

"Is it for fun?"

"This is probably to ask for peace of mind."

Chen Qiu glanced at the half piece of paper copied by Qingqing. He read the words and said:

"It seems that Shan Gui's internal strength has entered the door. We can't answer these questions he is asking now."

Qingqing nodded, and she felt that she had lost her use and was a little depressed.

But soon, the girl became happy again. She held the letter paper and said to her senior brother:

"This shows that Brother Shangui's martial arts must be getting better and better. If those people from the Demon Sect dare to provoke us again next time, we will lead them to Taihang Mountain... Let Brother Shangui teach them the truth."

"Indeed, this is also a solution."

Chen Qiu smiled, he watched the people coming and going outside the door, and he said to Qingqing:

"Girl, there is something that senior brother wants to tell you. Yesterday, Uncle Liu introduced us to a job."

"Drop?"

Qingqing raised her head and said excitedly:

"Okay, let's go together, just like me, my master and you at that time. Where will I go this time? I'll pack up now."

Chen Qiu stopped Qingqing, he said:

"I went to Changsha, Xiaoxiang and sent a batch of brocade. Because it was introduced by an acquaintance, I didn't send a friend there to follow me. I gave us the address and I could receive the reward as long as I sent it over.

But I was hesitating whether to take you there this time.”

"What's the hesitation?"

Qingqing said casually:

"It would be fine if you go to the world, but going to the world is not the same as going to the world. I will ask you, do you understand the code words?"

"Master taught you, and of course taught me too."

Chen Qiu said:

"Of course I understand."

"Okay, then tell me, what does Chumenzi mean?"

Qingqing sneered and asked:

"What does Hewu mean?"

Chen Qiu was speechless for a while.

Qingqing snorted proudly, and she said:

"You have a loss of energy and your health has been cured, but you may have forgotten all the tricks that Master taught you. You are alone and your martial arts are good, and you can fight and kill. But what if you don't fall into a trap?

I am not as good as you, senior brother, but you are not as good as me in the escorts."

The junior sister shrugged and said to Chen Qiu:

"You have to take me with you, or I'm not at ease."

"I'm just afraid that the road is far away. If something happens this time, I can't find another Yaoqin to help."

Chen Qiu thought about it and simply said:

"Or why don't we go?

Anyway, we are not short of money now. I will tell Uncle Liu now that I can apologize.”

"Oh, senior brother."

Qingqing saw Chen Qiu want to give up, so she was so anxious that she scratched her head. Her eyes turned and she deliberately excited:

"It was you who told Sister Yaoqin that you want to inherit the master's family business and rebuild the escort agency. Now that you are like this, I'm afraid that Sister Yaoqin will look down on you."

"If you look down on me, just look down on me."

Chen Qiu put on a hob-shaped posture and said to Qingqing:

"I don't ask for anything to see her, and I don't ask for anything. Why do I care about Yaoqin's thoughts?"

"But if the master left the reputation of this escort agency, you will ruin it!"

Seeing that Chen Qiu was not excited at all, Qingqing said a little anxious, and said:

"Since you came out of Taihang Mountain, you have become less concerned about the affairs of the escort agency.

A few days ago, you were hired by Sister Yaoqin, so I wanted to say that you would either close the escort agency and live your own life or do your business well.

You didn't tell me that you can't do anything if you are determined.

Senior brother, you were not like this before. Although you were not good at martial arts before, you still had feelings for the escort agency. Now that you have good martial arts, you regard your home as a random thing to throw away..."

The little girl's eyes turned, and she remembered some fun things again, and said with a smile:

"You used to secretly like Sister Yaoqin, but now you are also saying that you don't ask her for favor. It seems that you have really broken your love by wielding a knife, but Sister Yaoqin always asks you during this period.
To be continued...
