After Qiu Cong came back from Kasyapa City, it took him three days to build the new kitchen.

Now he decided to find Gu Ling, so he worked from morning to night. He first went out to buy food, then filled the firewood shed in the backyard, strengthened the doors, windows and fences of the house, and cleaned it inside and out.

That day he went out early in the morning and came back after noon. He carried two canes with bamboo poles. One was covered with pheasants with their legs and wings flapping, and the other was covered with wild rabbits.

Qiuyue has been very diligent these days, and her work has become more and more efficient. She feels that Qiu Cong doesn't hate her so much, and she has become more courageous. Seeing Qiu Cong walking into the courtyard like this, she couldn't help but laugh. He quickly called Su Liang, "Miss Su, come and take a look, my master has caught a lot of game!"

Su Liang couldn't help but laugh when she went out. She thought those pheasants and hares were pitiful and cute, and they must be delicious...

Qiu Cong put all the game animals that were still alive into chicken coops and rabbit coops he made of bamboo.

Qiuyue thought it was funny, so she went over with Su Liang to watch, but Qiu Cong suddenly called her, "Come here."

Qiuyue subconsciously grabbed Su Liang's sleeve. After all, she was still a little afraid of Qiu Cong, but she didn't dare to be disobedient, so she went over.

Qiu Cong pointed to the chicken coop, "Pick one."

Qiuyue didn't know why, thinking that she was asked to choose one to eat today, so she looked at it carefully and pointed at the fattest one.

"Take it out." Qiu Cong said.

Qiuyue's eyes widened, "Me?"

Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes and saw Qiu Yue looking at Su Liang again, so he asked Su Liang to go back to the room.

Su Liang guessed what Qiu Cong was going to do, so she chuckled and said, "Master asked Qiuyue to kill chickens and rabbits? She doesn't dare to let it go, but I can."

Qiuyue finally realized what was going on and took two steps back in fright. She really didn't dare and had never done it before. Recently, Qiu Cong has been killing wild game, and Qiu Yue was a little scared at first when handling the cleanly slaughtered meat.

"No." Qiu Cong couldn't help but tell Su Liang to go back and rest. He wanted to teach Qiu Yue how to kill chickens himself.

Su Liang gave Qiu Yue a helpless look and went back to the front yard.

Entering the room, Su Liang picked up the shriveled bamboo shoots that had completely lost their moisture, and said lightly, "Little God, I hope I guessed it right. The Great God is really in Xiangyue City, and Master can find him."

Su Liang missed Gu Ling very much, especially after finding out that she was pregnant, and she hoped that Gu Ling could be by her side. At the same time, she was sure that Gu Ling missed her more and hoped to be with her at this time, watching their baby grow up day by day.

Some things are missed, and regrets have no chance to make up for them.

Su Liang wrote a letter yesterday and asked Qiu Cong to bring it to Gu Ling. Otherwise, if he really finds Gu Ling, it would be bad for them to start fighting as soon as they meet.

As for whether Gu Ling is willing to stay on this island with Su Liang, and whether he will find a way to leave with Su Liang after arriving, that is a matter for later. He had to first know where Su Liang was and come to reunite with her. This was the most important thing.

As for the situation outside and whether Qian Guo needed Gu Ling to do anything, Su Liang had no way of knowing now, and he didn't want to think about it that much. The good and bad are not caused by her. She doesn't even have freedom at the moment, so she doesn't have to worry about the world. And she knew very well that when faced with the opportunity to find her, Gu Ling would definitely abandon everything else.

Su Liang didn't ask Qiu Cong to let her go. Of course, it wasn't because she didn't want to leave, but because Nangong Qian's physical condition determined that Qiu Cong wouldn't let her go. What's more, Qiu Cong now showed that he cared about the child in her belly and even started to make a cradle. It was hard to tell whether he wanted Su Liang to give birth to the baby here.

Su Liang felt that he would not and was unwilling to stay here for that long, but there was no need to talk about things that could not be changed and things that had not happened yet.

Not long after, Su Liang heard Qiuyue's scream, but she didn't go out to see it. But she planned to wait for Qiu Cong to leave and help Qiu Yue share some housework. At least she would wash her own clothes.

As usual, Su Liang and Qiu Cong sat across from each other in the courtyard to eat. Nangong Qian couldn't get out, so Qiu Yue fed her first and then ate in her room.

"Master is leaving tomorrow?" Su Liang asked.

Qiu Cong shook his head, "Today."

"How long does it take to get to Xiangyue City?" Su Liang asked again. She knew how long it took for Qiu Cong to get to Kasyapa City from here, and how far Kasyapa City was from Xiangyue City, but if he went directly to Xiangyue City from here, he might not pass by Kasyapa City.

"Eight days." Qiu Cong said.

"Then the master will be back in half a month." Su Liang said and told Qiu Cong where to go to see Gu Ling after arriving in Xiangyue City. The location was the house she bought originally, and she intuitively felt that Gu Ling was there.

Qiu Cong nodded and asked Su Liang, "What is he doing there?"

"Big deal." Su Liang said. If you want to completely solve the problem of Liang Kingdom, you can't just go to Liang Kingdom and kill someone. You have to capture Yan Kingdom first so that you won't have any worries.

Qiu Cong did not ask further questions. After eating, he put down his chopsticks and called Qiu Yue, telling him that after he left, he should keep an eye on Su Liang and not let her run around and not allow her to work. Otherwise, Qiu Yue would be the only one to ask questions.

How could Qiu Yue dare not respond? She only said that she would take good care of Nangong Qian and Su Liang.

When Qiu Cong packed his bags and went out, he saw Su Liang standing outside.

"I'll go to the beach to see Master off." Su Liang said, fearing that he would refuse, and added, "It's broad daylight. I won't fall. It's good for the child to go out for a walk."

Qiu Yue had to stay and guard Nangong Qian. Qiu Cong nodded when he saw Su Liang's envy.

The afternoon sun was blazing. As soon as he left the courtyard, Qiu Cong took off his straw hat and put it on Su Liang's head.

"Master, aren't you afraid that Situ Jing will be in danger if he returns to Liangguo?" Su Liang asked.

Qiu Cong took a while before answering, "The path he chose."

"That's right. He is not Nangong Qian. He has experienced a lot since he was a child. He has things he wants to pursue. It doesn't make much sense for the master to keep him by his side." Su Liang said.

In fact, she wanted to say that the letter that Qiu Cong sent to Kasyapa City for her might have ruined Nangong Lin and Situ Jing's affairs. Although those two people did not really control her, they probably thought that she was completely under control, and the possibility of talking to Qian Guo and Gu Ling without using her as a hostage was extremely slim.

But Su Liang felt that Qiu Cong should know the consequences of the letter, but he still sent it for her. That being the case, it is useless to say more.

When they arrived at the beach, Qiu Cong threw the baggage into the boat and asked Su Liang to go back quickly.

"Hat." Su Liang took off his straw hat and put it on Qiu Cong.

"You put it back on." Qiu Cong took it off again.

"I'm walking in the woods and don't get much sunlight. Master, please wear it. It will take a long time before we go to the sea for this trip." Su Liang said. There is no shelter at sea and it is completely exposed to the sun.

Seeing her insistence, Qiu Cong put it on again. Drag the boat to the beach, jump on it, and turn back to Su Liang and say, "Please worry about Qian'er's body. Don't worry about other things."

Su Liang nodded and saw Qiu Cong was about to set off, so he stopped him and said, "Master, are you sure no outsiders will come here?"

She suddenly thought, what if someone else showed up? She is pregnant, Nangong Qian is ill in bed, and Qiu Yue has just gained a little "power to bind a chicken" today.

Qiu Cong frowned, "No." He paused for a moment and then said, "To be on the safe side, I'd better not leave."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Master, can you pretend that I didn't ask anything just now? You should leave as soon as possible."

Qiu Cong didn't know what he was thinking of. After a moment of silence, he said, "If a blind woman comes in a few days, she will be one of our own."

Su Liang looked surprised, "Are you the master friend invited by Master?"

Qiu Cong nodded, "Go back quickly." After saying this, the boat left the coast and soon drifted away.

Su Liang watched Qiu Cong disappear from sight. After walking along the coastline for a long time, she returned along the original path.

When Qiuyue saw Su Liang coming back, she patted her chest and said, "Miss Su is back. I feel flustered when you are not here."

Qiuyue didn't know what Qiu Cong was doing, but she only knew that he wouldn't be back for about half a month. I heard Su Liang say that a friend of Qiu Cong might come to the island to stay temporarily in a few days. He is a blind man, so don’t be afraid when he sees him, remember to be polite.

Seeing that Su Liang went back to the room to get some clothes to wash, Qiuyue quickly grabbed them, "No! The master has told me that if he comes back and finds out, he must punish the slave. Moreover, Miss Su is pregnant and it is not good for her to bend down and sit for a long time. ”

After hearing the last sentence, Su Liang thought about it, and proposed to take turns cooking with Qiuyue.

Qiuyue said no, the kitchen is dangerous.

Su Liang chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm very experienced and can't burn down the kitchen."

"My servant knows that Miss Su is a very, very good person, and she doesn't even consider her a human being. If Miss Su is not pregnant, I will not stop her from working, but I can't do that now." Qiuyue said stubbornly. She really liked and appreciated Su Liang. Especially, she felt very comfortable being with Su Liang, as if they were equal people.

That night, Su Liang prayed silently before going to bed, hoping that Qiu Cong could successfully find Gu Ling and bring him here.

Liang Kingdom, Yaocheng.

"Stop crying!" Old Man Mu shouted impatiently.

Sitting in the corner, Situ Yao's eyes were red and she was pleading, "Senior, please let me go home. I really haven't done anything bad."

Old Man Mu snorted coldly, "Who asked you to deal with a grandfather who is worse than a pig or a dog?" After saying this, he left and went to the next room.

Lao Bai was sleeping when he was woken up by Old Man Mu, "Don't sleep! Situ Xie's granddaughter has been arrested, but we can't find where our little girl is being held. It's impossible that she hasn't arrived after so long." Yaocheng? Come on, what should I do now? That girl is making me cry!"

"Try to make Situ Xie eat this." Lao Bai threw a coarse porcelain medicine bottle to Lao Mu.

Lao Mu caught it and frowned, "Why don't you go? Why do you always call me around?"

Lao Bai didn't speak and closed his eyes again.

Lao Mu put away the medicine bottle and went out.

In broad daylight, the gate of Prince Yue's Mansion was closed.

Situ Jing followed Situ Xie into Hanxiang Courtyard and noticed the words "Ning" and "Xiang" carved on the rockery in the courtyard.

"They grew up together and are closer than real sisters." Situ Xie looked sad, "Now, they are both gone. I originally thought that after you and Gu Ling knew each other's identities, they could be as close as brothers and support each other. But he is a foreigner, and now it seems that not only is he hopeless, but he has become our biggest threat. "

Situ Jing then asked, "If there was a chance to get rid of Gu Ling, would my grandfather have the heart to do it?"

Situ Xie shook his head, "That's Ah Ning's only child, how can I bear it?"

The two of them entered the room, and Situ Xie mentioned that Su Liang had stayed here before when he came to Liang Kingdom.

Then he asked Situ Jing when he planned to enter the palace to see Situ Han.

"Your father has been in love with your mother since he was a child, and he couldn't see anyone else in his eyes. We all thought that they would be together. Who knew that after your mother met Nangong Lin, her whole heart went to him and she refused. Your father was young and vigorous at the time, and he was of that status, and he liked your mother too much, so he impulsively forced her to do something, which made a big mistake." Situ Xie sighed, "He has made a big mistake in these years. I have never forgotten your mother. I am very happy to know that I have you, and I also want to see you as soon as possible."

Situ Jing shook his head, "If I regain my identity now, I will become a target. The people around Su Liang will spare no effort to kill me."

"I understand." Situ Xie nodded, "If you don't restore your identity first, how about you pretend to be a guard and follow me into the palace so that your father can see you? It's not easy for him to leave the palace rashly in these troubled times."

"Okay." Situ Jing nodded.

Situ Xie looked happy and said, "I will make arrangements later."

At nightfall, a maid with a steady face brought a cup of soup from the kitchen. Situ Xie pays attention to maintenance and has a very regular soup habit. The people who make soup for him are regular people. This is the information that Old Man Mu got from Mu Yu.

Mu Yu has now left Yaocheng and followed Old Man Mu's order to go to Qian Country. After this experience, he recognized Situ Xie and himself clearly, threw away his previous unrealistic illusions, and realized that Old Man Mu was the only person in the world who truly cared about his safety.

Halfway through, a gust of wind blew by, and the maid's purse fell to the ground. After she carefully placed the soup on the stone platform not far away, she came to pick up her purse. She found that the strap of the purse was broken, so she stuffed it into her arms. After picking up the soup, she continued to Situ Xie's study.

Situ Jing's affairs in the mansion were a secret, and most of the servants didn't know about it. To be on the safe side, he stayed in Situ Xie's study.

Without squinting, the maid put the soup in, placed it gently in front of Situ Xie, then exited and closed the door.

"Jing'er." Situ Xie said.

Situ Jing walked out from behind the bookshelf, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the palace to see Situ Han tonight.

"This is the soup I specially asked the kitchen to stew for you. It turned out to be your mother's favorite drink. Try it quickly." Situ Xie picked up the only small bowl with a smile, filled a bowl, put a spoon on it, and handed it to Situ Xie. Jing.

Situ Jing took it and took a sip, then Situ Xie asked him if he liked it.

Situ Jing nodded slightly, then slowly drank the whole bowl.

Situ Xie asked for another bowl, but Situ Jing said he was full.

Putting the bowl down, Situ Jing suddenly felt a little warm, thinking it was because of the hot soup he had just drank.

Situ Xie's expression suddenly changed, "Jing'er!"

I saw that Situ Jing's ears, eyes, nose, and mouth began to bleed, which was very scary.

"I...what happened to me..." Situ Jing quickly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Situ Xie quickly took out a medicine bottle from his purse, poured out a pill, opened Situ Jing's mouth, stuffed it in, and patted him on the back to make him swallow it.

If Su Liang were here, he would find that the medicine Situ Xie gave Situ Jing now looked exactly the same as the two life-saving medicines Lao Bai gave Su Liang before. As for Su Liang's two pills, one of them was also taken by Situ Jing.

"Come here!" Situ Xie roared.

A trusted guard appeared and left quickly.

Not long after, a woman who had recently moved into the guest house of Prince Yue's Mansion entered Situ Xie's study. Looking at her back, she has a slender figure, but looking at her face, she is quite young.

"Look what kind of poison he was poisoned? I gave him the life-saving medicine you gave me!" Situ Xie looked anxious.

When the old woman saw Situ Jing's appearance, her eyes narrowed slightly. After feeling his pulse, she suddenly sneered, "I didn't expect that he was here too."

Situ Xie frowned, "Who? What are you talking about?"

"Don't worry." The old woman stood up and looked at the unfinished soup. "The antidote is enough to remove the poison he had. This poison must have come from my senior brother. The last time we met, it seemed like a lifetime ago. …”

Situ Xie ignored the old woman's sigh and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Situ Jing would be fine, "Who is your senior brother? Has he joined the imperial family of Qian Kingdom?"

The old woman shook her head, "It's impossible. If he really took action, it must be for someone, not for the country."

Situ Xie's eyes narrowed, "Su Liang! Could it be that Su Liang is your senior brother's apprentice?"

Hearing this, the old woman's thin face showed strong interest, "Who is Su Liang?"

"We'll talk about it later. When will Jing'er wake up?" Situ Xie asked.

"Half an hour," said the old woman.

Time passed quickly, but Situ Jing woke up a moment later than the old woman expected.

Seeing him open his eyes, Situ Xie relaxed and went to help him up.

Situ Jing sat on the chair and stopped bleeding after taking the medicine.

"Jing'er, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?" Situ Xie said in a concerned tone.

Situ Jing had a few blood stains on his face, he opened and closed his eyes, "My eyes hurt..."

The old woman immediately pushed Situ Xie away and stepped forward to check. After a while, she frowned and said, "It's broken!"

Situ Xie's expression changed, "What's wrong? Didn't you say your medicine must be fine?"

While she was talking, the old woman took another pill for Situ Jing, but she lost her previous confidence, "Damn it! He actually changed the recipe of the poison we developed together!"

"Tell me clearly, what will happen to Jing'er?" Situ Xie asked, frowning.

The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "If not blind, she is still half-blind."

"Hurry up and detoxify him!" Situ Xie roared angrily.

"I tried my best, but it was already too late. Some injuries are irreversible. My senior brother's poison is so toxic that it hurts the eyes. In this way, even if the poison can be detoxified, it will be too late to save the eyes." The old woman snorted coldly, "Without my medicine, he would have met the King of Hell long ago."

Situ Xie was so angry that he was shaking all over, "Damn it! Su Liang... Su Liang again! It must be because of her!"

The old woman asked, "Where is the Su Liang you mentioned? I have to go and see if she is my senior brother's apprentice."

"She is in my hands." Situ Xie said coldly.

The old woman sneered, "I want to see her!"

"I can't see her, she's not here!" Situ Xie couldn't hide his anger, "You call yourself the Poison Immortal, why don't you think of a way to save my grandson!"

"I am his savior. As for the eyes, I said there is nothing I can do." The old woman was not polite, "However, as long as my senior brother is really in Yaocheng, I will definitely find him!" After saying this, he disappeared. .

Situ Jing was awake. He heard everything the old woman said to Situ Xie. His eyes shed tears because of the pain, washing away the previous blood marks. He tried hard to open his eyes and look at Situ Xie, but found that he could not see clearly. In his heart Filled with anger, unwillingness and fear of becoming blind, "Why...why does God do this to me..."

On the other side, Old Man Mu, who had been on the spot for many days and squatted all day long, carefully and finally succeeded in poisoning, returned to the place where he and Lao Bai lived temporarily, and pulled the sleeping Lao Bai up again, "It's been poisoned. You said that the poisonous silver needle can't be detected! Let's wait and see tomorrow whether that bitch Situ Xie is dead or blind! Hahahaha! Let's give him some color first, and then go back to our girl!"

Unnamed island.

Qiu Cong has been gone for five days, and Su Liang's life has been very peaceful. Most of the work in the courtyard is done by Qiu Yue. Su Liang is mainly responsible for treating Nangong Qian. When the weather is good, Qiu Yue carries Nangong Qian out and puts her on a deck chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun. Other times, she is mostly reading. , or take a walk around.

It was a little difficult for Qiuyue to kill chickens and rabbits at first, but after killing a few times, it was no problem at all. She could even kill the hare with the back of a knife without changing her expression...

That day Qiuyue was sweeping the floor in the courtyard. She looked up inadvertently and saw a person standing outside the fence. She was startled and called Su Liang quickly.

Su Liang came out of the room and saw a tall, thin old woman standing outside the bamboo fence. Her eyes were gray, but her hair was meticulously combed, her clothes were neat, and she was holding an eagle-headed crutch in her hand.

"Senior is Master's friend, right?" Su Liang said with a smile, and went out to greet him, "Master told me before he left that Senior would come."

The old woman's face faced the direction of Su Liang, "Are you the apprentice that Lao Qiu mentioned? Su Liang?"

"Yes." Su Liang nodded, "Senior, do you need some help?"

"No need, you go ahead." The old woman shook her head, followed Su Liang into the small courtyard, and sat down at the table. It seemed that she had been here before and remembered the way.

"Qiuyue, make tea." Su Liang called Qiuyue.

Qiuyue responded, quickly threw down the broom and went to make tea.

"My surname is Cen." The old woman said, "Old Qiu said that you have his disciple in your belly. Please ask me to stay for a while, help him look after his house, and teach you some self-defense techniques."

Su Liang smiled, "Senior Cen, thank you so much."

"I'm good at using concealed weapons." The old woman said, waved her hand, and hammered two silver nails on Su Liang's door.

Su Liang was a little surprised. This requires extremely strong perception and control. The old woman must have heard the sound when she opened the door and discerned the distance.

"Senior Cen is so awesome!" Su Liang stood up and went over, and finally pulled out the silver nail, and it was nailed in exactly.

As soon as she put down the silver nail and sat back down, she heard the old woman say, "Lao Qiu said that it would be very comfortable to be your master. It's rare that his stubborn old man can like someone so much. In this case, you should also be Lao Shen's apprentice." !”
