Vol 2 Chapter 3: orchid

Nine heads were neatly laid on the ground.
A tolerance squatted on the ground, holding several portraits in his hands, and comparing them one by one according to the head of a person.
Less hectare.
Tolerance took a portrait and turned around to report: "Sir, it's really those gangsters."
Sitting on the main seat is a middle-aged man in his forties, eyes narrowed, gray short hairs on his lips, and his expression is a little sleepy.
After listening to his men, he glanced at those heads and waved expressionlessly: "These heads are really smelly-get things done quickly!"
"Yes," Tolerance said.
The two looked at Gu Qingshan together.
The middle-aged man smiled and said with a smile: "It's really surprising. I didn't expect a master in such a remote village."
Gu Qingshan arched his hand, "The magistrate of the county, these robbers drank too much alcohol, all of them look drunk, and lost their guard early. I also waited until the middle of the night to take the opportunity, and luckily succeeded."
The magistrate's expression relaxed, and he slowly said, "These people are not very powerful, but they are always hidden in the remote mountains. We have limited manpower and have no energy to annihilate. This can be regarded as a matter of fact. "
He yawned and said tiredly, "Congratulations, Gu Cunshou, the reward to the bandits above is not a small sum, your kid is about to make a fortune!"
Gu Qingshan paused.
-Hengcai?
As soon as the money is in my hands, it is better ...
Thinking of the various calamities that I saw along the way, Gu Qingshan hugged his fist and said, "My lord, you are in charge of the villages in hundreds of miles, and the merits of my village are also the merits of the lord. The merits of the reward are also to be determined by the lord. Do not dare to specialize. "
"Ok?"
The magistrate's eyes opened, and the tiredness on her face completely disappeared.
He leaned forward and looked at Gu Qingshan and said, "It is clearly your reward. How can the official decide for you?"
Gu Qingshan said frankly: "The humble job never keeps money in your hands, it is better to ask an adult to host it-after all, villages are often affected by disasters, and there are many places that need money, which can be considered as a humble job to do your part."
The county magistrate laughed twice, stood up, walked over to the few people, and paused to examine them carefully.
"You see, these two people are gangsters, each with dozens of lives, and their heads are the most expensive; as for their men, each of them has committed a lot of cases, so they are still worth the money."
The magistrate remarked with relish.
"That's right, sir." The tolerance echoed.
He handed a few rewards to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate glanced and asked, "Gu Qingshan."
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"People like you who are capable and caring about places are rare in my jurisdiction. If you have any requirements, you can raise them now," the county commander said.
"I do not want to be a village guard," Gu Qingshan said.
"Oh, you are such a smart man," said the county magistrate.
"Also ask adults to complete." Gu Qingshan hugged fist.
The county magistrate held those rewards, and silently calculated the amount of silver money, and then said, "Lao Liu, how many patrolmen in our county are there?"
The tolerance said: "Sir, last time they went out of the city to do things, didn't act according to the order, not only did things go wrong, but people fled back."
"A group of wine sacks and rice bags!" The magistrate cursed, raising his eyes to visit Qingshan.
Those guys who totally rely on the doorway don't always go.
The village guard in front of him could kill the robbers. Even when the robbers were drunk, they were still a little bit courageous, and they had a good skill.
-Also knowing taste.
Such people are also comfortable to use.
The county magistrate had set his thoughts and said, "Gu Cunshou, why don't you stay in the county? How about being a patrolman?"
Gu Qingshan hasn't spoken yet, and the tolerance on the side has already urged: "Can you stay in the county, your kid's fate is stable. Thank you, Lord Mayor?"
"Thank you, Master." Gu Qingshan said.
After leaving the village for two hours, it was found that the mountain road had been cut off and there was no road at all.
Originally I wanted to go around, but halfway through the mountains, I saw a huge cormorant emerging from the ground and eating out the people in a certain village.
As a last resort, he backed away, dragging the bamboo raft down the river.
-Since the girl can foresee his arrival, she must be familiar with the surroundings.
Waterways should be relatively safe.
Sure enough, the bamboo raft arrived in the county seat for a short while.
I lost my memory. At this moment, my eyes are completely obscured. The best option is to stay here for a while, slowly familiarize myself with the surrounding environment, collect information, and discuss long-term.
The county magistrate saw him agree, and smiled at the people around him, "Go, take him down, put on his waistband--"
He took a look at the rotten iron knife on Gu Qingshan's body and added: "Take him to get the standard equipment and apply it as soon as possible. Take a good rest and see me tomorrow."
"Yes."
Tolerance took Gu Qingshan down.
The two walked out of the door and came all the way to the preparation office. They first signed their names, checked their identities, and received a waist tag and a standard leather armor.
The tolerance side said: "Gu Cun, no, it's time to call you Gu Xunshou. We will all be our own in the future. I think you are also a good boy. I just went to inform your colleagues-it's too late today. You guys will pick you up tomorrow night, will you be free? "
Gu Qingshan hugged his fist and said, "Thank you Brother Liu, I can confuse with you in the future. I'll call on Brother next time."
Liu Xunshou laughed, shook his head and shook his head, "I can kill robbers, I am a capable person. My old Liu likes capable young people to go and choose weapons."
Gu Qingshan was condensed.
What's a killer?
Such a trivial matter has been repeatedly mentioned by the chief and colleagues. Is there anything strange about it?
He meditated and went into the arsenal with Liu Xunshou.
I saw a lot of weapons, knives, guns, sticks, sticks, bows, hammers, axes, swords, and some hidden weapons.
Gu Qingshan approached a long sword subconsciously, and reached for it.
In a hurry, a row of scarlet prints appeared in the void:
"No!"
How alert Gu Qingshan was, holding his hand almost on the sword, then suddenly withdrew.
Liu Xuanshou's voice came from behind him: "Haha, brother Gu, swords aren't fun for ordinary people."
Gu Qingshan showed a strange look on his face and said, "Is this a sword? I grew up in a mountain village, and I have never seen such a weird weapon."
He stared at the void, and saw the scarlet scarlet lines appearing constantly:
"Gripping a sword will surely awaken your power."
"The five elements are undecided, the world is unstable, and all those who are in the election have lost their strength. If you awaken at this moment, it will certainly attract the attention of the entire six reincarnation, and the smuggling will immediately fail."
"Remember!"
After Gu Qingshan watched it silently, he walked calmly to the side and reached out to hold a long knife.
"Still used to using a knife," he said.
Liu Xunshou agreed: "Of course, the sword is best to use. Swords are not good for slashing, and most people are not used to it."
Gu Qingshan carried the knife around his waist, picked up another standard bow, and nodded toward Liu Xunshou.
Liu Xun watched him, only to think that he was wearing leather armor, holding a bow and holding a knife with a bit of momentum, admired: "Now, your rotten iron knife and hunting bow can be lost."
The two went out, crossed the streets in the county town, and came all the way to a quiet little yard.
At this time the sun was sinking and the sky was getting dark.
Liu Xuanshou led Gu Qingshan to the gate of the yard, handed a key, and said, "This yard is for you. You should rest and rest. I will pick you up tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Liu." Gu Qingshan said.
Liu Xunshou waved his hands and walked away.
Gu Qingshan opened the door with the key, entered the yard, closed the door, and opened the carry-on purse.
Empty.
There wasn't even a single salary left.
Gu Qingshan shook his head helplessly.
"What the did I owe that book?"
He murmured, walked through the yard, and entered the room.
Although the yard is small, everything is readily available, and even rice noodles are ready.
Gu Qingshan was relieved--
This time I will not be hungry.
He made his own meal and was amazed by his craft while eating. After finishing the meal, he cleaned the room. After packing, he made a pot of tea, lit the lamp, and sat at the table alone, drinking tea slowly.
What happened in the past few days, he has thought back and forth countless times.
Although everything is okay, but the loss of memory is something that makes people feel uneasy.
He drew out the knife and bow and set it on the table to look at it carefully.
At first glance, the two things in the county house were much better than what he brought out of the mountain village.
The sword method seems to be a little bit, but it is still very strange and almost can't remember.
Bows and arrows are more familiar.
But for swords--
"It seems that the weapon I am good at is a sword, but it doesn't allow me to use a sword ..."
Gu Qingshan said to himself.
He suddenly moved his expression and yelled, "Who!"
No one responded.
But there seemed to be a quiet song in the yard outside.
Gu Qingshan put out the candlelight in the house, and the whole house suddenly fell into darkness.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened and no one broke in.
The hoar-frost moonlight shone on the ground through the window.
Everything is quiet around.
Only the song sounded occasionally, dazzling, sometimes hard to find, sometimes clear and audible, as if it were near.
Gu Qingshan picked up his bow and arrow, stuck it to the wall, and looked out the window.
I saw a mist rising from the yard.
Under the plum tree in the corner of the yard, a dark shadow appeared.
The moonlight changes with the light, but it doesn't show the shadow.
The singing just now should come from this shadow.
With that in mind, Gu Qingshan simply opened the window and said loudly, "Who are you and why are you singing here?"
The dark shadow paused, but said, "Gu Qingshan, I'm here to see you."
Gu Qingshan said: "Do you know who I am? But you and I are friends?"
He didn't move slowly, and he pressed the arrow to the bowstring.
Who knew that the dark shadow seemed to have no worries, came slowly from the yard and stood outside the window.
This time Gu Qingshan could see clearly.
But it is a beautiful young girl wearing a black feather coat, showing a majestic momentum that she should not have at this age.
"You seem to have forgotten a lot of things?" The girl looked at him, asking.
"Yes," Gu Qingshan admitted.
The girl heard it, and her expression was quite complicated.
"Gu Qingshan, you have come a little late, and you have lost your memory ..."
The girl sighed and continued: "If it was anyone else, I would have been discouraged, but you ... have never been the same.
She placed a black orchid on the window sill and said, "This flower is an extremely precious treasure of our tribe, and it is something that we have found after many years of hard work. Now I leave it to you, hoping to help you."
"Why are you helping me?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The young girl said calmly: "You and I have an appointment before-now everything has begun, the five elements have been established, and the five elements have not yet stood. When the gold, wood, fire, soil, wind, thunder, and dark sounds all stand, the world is stable. Remember, you have to get involved faster to be meritful. "
"How do I participate?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"You'll know this soon," said the girl.
After speaking, she receded into the mist behind her.
The fog suddenly spread to both sides, revealing the scene inside.
I saw dozens of beautiful and charming demon smelting women who had tricks to cast spells and said something in their mouths, which seemed to be agitating the mist.
Gu Qingshan looked at it and asked quickly: "Wait! Who are you?"
The girl looked back at him and said softly, "As long as you have me in your heart, you will remember who I am sooner or later."
After speaking, he walked into the mist and disappeared.
Gu Qingshan asked again, but the women in the fog sang in unison: "The bright white foal is in Bekong Valley. A bunch of rumors are like a jade."
After the sentence was finished, the fog burst.
In a moment, the entire courtyard was empty, and those women just now seemed like a dream and never existed again.
Gu Qingshan paused for a moment and looked down.
The black orchid lay quietly on the windowsill, exuding dark and dim light in the moonlight.
