When Mistress heard this, she felt somewhat disappointed. She knew that Hu Zi and Zhuang Zi were both children who had just been informed. In order to curry favor with his Master, Hui Ji also narrated the events of that day from the beginning to the end.
It turned out that Hui Qing and Hui Jing had asked the manor that day and had returned to the temple. Hui Qing was worried that she wouldn't be able to learn anything about Zhang Yunyi and Zhu Yu Stage. She was afraid that she would lose the opportunity to make a name for herself. Early in the morning, she used the excuse of practicing martial arts to prepare to meet with Hui Jing in private at the manor. The two of them left the mountain gate and rushed up the rocky plateau.
Hui Ji quietly followed behind the two of them. Hui Qing stood quietly on the rock plateau, practicing her swordplay while paying attention to where the manor came from. However, the two of them did not discover Hui Ji, who was hiding in the bushes beside them.
Hui Qing practiced for a while in silence, and then she practiced separately. She was practicing hard. Seeing this, Hu Zi and Zhuang Zi walked over, one holding a saber and the other a rope. ”Hui Jing, look!” she called out, putting away the sword happily. ”Zhuang Zi and Hu Zi are here. It must have been Zhuang Zi who went to ask about it last night. He was afraid we would say he was lying and he would bring Huzi to testify. ”
Hui Jing also put away her sword and looked down the mountain, saying, ”Zhuang Zi really has the heart. He must be worried that we won't believe him, so he brought Hu Zi along. Although Zhuang Zi was naughty, he really wouldn't lie. That time, I wanted to beat him up and say that he scolded Hui Ji, but he really didn't. Last night, I pressed Hui Ji about what had happened that day. As a result, Hui Ji lied to me. ”
As the two talked, they walked down the hill and came to a place where they could chop firewood. They waited in front of the manor and Hu Zi. At this time, Hui Ji quietly followed and hid in the bushes not far from the two. From time to time, she would stick her head out to look at the manor and Hu Zi. Hui Qing and Hui Ran were so focused on Hu Zi and Zhuang Zi that they did not notice her at all.
Not long after, Zhuang Zi and Huzi arrived at the scene. Hui Jing asked, ”Zhuang Zi, why are you two here today?”
Zhuang Zi said, ”Yesterday, the two of you asked me to do something. I went to Hu Zi's house to ask his mother about it.”
His mother first asked me, 'Who asked that?' I saw no outsider, so I said it was you two asking. Hu Zi's mother sighed and said, 'Why didn't the two of them agree to this matter yesterday? I don't know where they went. How dare he let the two ladies search everywhere! There were criminals everywhere. If they had agreed, they would have left the address, or taken it. These two left yesterday. I don't even know which direction they went in. ' Hu Zi's mother will regret it for all of you, and she will complain again and again that you were hesitating when it came to doing things. ”
Actually, Zhang Yunyi and Zhu Yu, under the orders of Cai Songpo, had already been in the Central Plains for quite some time. The two left Shandong this time, preparing to pass through Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan before returning to Kunming to meet up with Cai Songpo, Li Lijun and others. The two of them were truly indecisive.
After learning Hu Zi's mother's words, Zhuang Zi continued, ”Sisters, I'm afraid that one of you will tell the both of you that you don't believe me and that I didn't ask you to lie. I brought Huzi here to testify. ”
Hu Zi was younger than Zhuang Zi. Hu Zi said, ”What he said is true. That's what my mother told him. My two uncles, they left your temple yesterday and didn't return to our house. ” ”Did they really not tell your mother where they were going before they left?” Hui Qing asked. Hu Zi shook his head and said, ”Two days before they left, I listened to their secret conspiracy. He said that he had gone out from Lu to pass through the Anhui, Hubei and Xiangxiang. My mother knows all this and doesn't dare to tell you. I'm afraid that if you search everywhere and can't find them, you'll be lost. ”To go after them, unless you two go through the same thing, like Anhui, like Hai, like Xiang, like that.” The manor and Hu Zi could only look at the two of them eagerly, feeling pity for them in their hearts.
Hui Qinghui listened quietly and knew that Zhang Yunyi and Zhu Yu Chi were going to Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and other places. ”They came out of Sichuan or Yunnan province to secretly visit, advertise, launch and arm Yuan Shikai,” Hui said. They must have been indecisive. Anhui Province is big, the world is chaotic, there are many evil people, where can you go to find them? ”If you die, you will have to consider the consequences.” In Hui Qing's anxiety, a fire was immediately set. She felt a wave of discomfort in her heart and suppressed her anger. She said to Zhuang Zi, ”Zhuang Zi, I thank you. We're not looking for them. ”
Zhuang Zi added, ”We will slowly find them. It's easy to be a soldier, but it's easy to be one in the south. If I were you, I would just go directly, right? ”
Hu Zi also suggested, saying, ”I still have a way. If they send a letter to my mother, I will bring the letter to you. Take the letter and go find them.
Hui Qing nodded and said: ”Thank you, Hu Zi! Don't tell anyone else. ” Hu Zi nodded and said, ”Yes, I know about that. ”My mother told me not to tell anyone.” Hui Qing quietly turned around and left.
Seeing that they had walked far away, Zhuang Zi said to Hu Zi, ”Women are truly not as good as us men. We regret what we said, but we don't dare to go again.” ”In any other life, I won't rely on my daughter to give birth to another child. She must be out of luck.” Both of them were glad that they were men and happily went off to chop wood.
Seeing that Hu Zi and Zhuang Zi had also disappeared into the forest, Hui Ji rushed out before chasing after Hui Qing and Hui Jing. She chased after the two of them and shouted, ”Sister, why didn't you wait for me?” When Hui Jing heard that it was Hui Ji, she turned around and asked, ”What are you doing here? When did you get here? ” Hui Ji stammered, ”I came with you. I heard it all. ”
Hui Jing said angrily: ”Who asked you to follow them? You are not allowed to tell Master what we have said! If you say it, I'll beat you to a pulp! ”
