Qingfeng Xu Xu

If the master knew that there might be a hidden reason behind the death of Master Li, then even if it was just a suspicion, he would definitely come and check it out personally. If it is true that the letter was delayed on the way, as Master said before, then maybe the letter was delivered after we left, and we were delayed on the way. If Master traveled day and night, it would be reasonable for us to arrive at Guxia Village at the same time. , the person who appeared on the roof last night was undoubtedly the master. But when Master arrived at Guxia Manor, he did not appear in front of us. This can only confirm that the death of Master Li was not an accident, but was assassinated. But Brother Jichu's analysis just now is also correct. A high-profile investigation of the matter will draw attention, so he can only let people act in secret. This person is the master. Brother Jichu and the master planned and agreed on everything. The reason why Master wanted to hide all the plans from us is probably because Qingjiu and I were put on the surface as bait to attract other people's attention, two people who knew nothing. But Master had been silent to us as early as when he was in Tianzong. It can be seen that Master determined that the death of Master Li was abnormal at that time. On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, I personally received the letter from the disciples of Guxia Village. Now it seems that the letter It was the letter sent by brother Jichu.

Xu Mulin recalled that Xu Enze was in abnormal mood when he returned to Tianzong. Now he guessed that maybe Xu Enze knew everything before seeing Li Jichuxin. After all, he had asked before that Jiangling Mansion and Shuzhou were adjacent, and Xu Mulin Enze didn't go to check on Li Haoyuan in person, but he wrote a letter, which was really seeking the far away.

Now, Xu Mulin fully understands in his heart. Although he is a little unhappy with Xu Enze's use to deceive himself and Xu Qingjiu, considering the ultimate purpose, Xu Mulin feels that he understands Xu Enze very well. He also thought that Xu Enze had specially told him to be careful and considerate for himself and Xu Qingjiu. Furthermore, Xu Enze was probably around now. Thinking of this, Xu Mulin felt a little more at ease in his heart. There is definitely no danger in this trip. Besides, Xu Mulin is very willing to help Xu Enze find out the real culprit who murdered his friend.

However, Xu Mulin did not tell Xu Qingjiu his conclusions. In fact, it was not because he deliberately concealed it. It was just that Xu Mulin understood the reason why Xu Enze did this. It is best to know nothing about the two baits to tempt the enemy. Can play a confusing role. Now that he knows the truth, he has to carefully consider his words and deeds in the future. Xu Mulin feels a little embarrassed when he thinks about it. Xu Qingjiu has a pure heart, and Xu Mulin doesn't want Xu Qingjiu to deliberately delve into such twists and turns. around

"Brother Jichu had a plan in mind, so he would not miss anything. He thought that as a son of a man, he was worried that he would be in trouble if he cared about it, so he thought of asking Master to help him think about it together, so that it would be safe."Xu Mulin looked at Li Jichu with a smile, but his eyes were full of meaning,"Brother Jichu has thought carefully. If there is anything abnormal, how could it escape the eyes of brother Jichu? It can be seen that Qingjiu and I are very worried."

Xu Qingjiu seemed to be more convinced by Xu Mulin's words. Listening to Xu Mulin's words, Xu Qingjiu seemed to feel that he had thought too much, and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Li Jichu understood Xu Mulin's words The implication is that they already understand each other tacitly

"Thank you."Li Jichu looked at Xu Mulin and said, inevitably he would have to justify his doubts again. Li Jichu also looked at Xu Qingjiu and continued:"Thank you Qingjiu and Mulin for taking the matter of my Guxia Village."

"It's fine if you don't blame Brother Jichu. There's no point in thanking him. It's me who suddenly caused worries to Brother Jichu."

"Qingjiu was worried too much."

The three of them stopped obsessing about Li Haoyuan and just chatted casually for a while. Seeing that it was getting very late, Li Jichu also stood up to leave. After

Li Jichu left, Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu sat at the table, both bowing their heads and drinking tea. The movements are uniform, and even the thoughts are consistent and thinking about the same thing.

"Is Qingjiu still thinking about Master Li?"

"This matter is not something that my senior brother and I can interfere with, not even my master. I understand brother Jichu's considerations, so I just want to think about it."What Xu Qingjiu was thinking about was not like this, or in other words, it was not entirely related to it. After Li Jichu left, Xu Qingjiu's mind was almost no longer on this matter. However, Xu Mulin suddenly asked, so Xu Qingjiu had to prevaricate like this. With

"Qingjiu said yes."Xu Mulin didn't want to continue discussing this matter, so he simply responded to Xu Qingjiu. After a moment of silence and hearing that the noise outside was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Mulin suggested:"It's getting late. , Qingjiu, do you want to go back to the room and rest early?"

"Okay," Xu Qingjiu had been waiting for Xu Mulin to say this, so he stood up and walked out neatly,"I'm going back to the room first, senior brother, rest early."

"...etc."Xu Mulin naturally saw through Xu Qingjiu's purpose.

"What's wrong, brother? Xu Qingjiu asked knowingly.

Xu Mulin exposed Xu Qingjiu straightforwardly,"Are you planning to go out now and then sneak in and sleep on the table later?""

When she was stopped by Xu Mulin, Xu Qingjiu guessed that Xu Mulin must have seen through his little trick, but Xu Mulin exposed it so directly that Xu Qingjiu was caught off guard, and could only look at Xu Mulin with a silly smile, trying to get through.

"Even if you swear to me now, I still don't believe it." Xu Mulin didn't leave any chance for Xu Qingjiu to continue to deceive him,"Just rest here, this bed is spacious and won't interfere with of."

Xu Mulin's argument was really unconvincing to Xu Qingjiu, so he thought of something else,"I'll take the bedding over there and lay it on the floor."With that said, Xu Qingjiu went to the next door

"Qingjiu," Xu Mulin hurriedly called out to Xu Qingjiu,"At this time of year, if you sleep on the ground all night, your whole body will be sore when you wake up tomorrow. Okay, it's really not a problem. Didn't we sleep on the same bed at the inn before?"

Xu Mulin's first reason still reluctantly convinced Xu Qingjiu, but the last sentence made Xu Qingjiu shaken again,"It would be okay if senior brother didn't mention this, I wouldn't have made a fuss at the inn. Brother, didn't you sleep well?"

"That's not because of you..."Well, it was also because of Xu Qingjiu, but it was not what Xu Qingjiu thought. Xu Mulin was speechless, holding his forehead and sighing, feeling helpless. Why did he bring up the old thing again?."Well, if we continue to struggle like this for a long time, how can we rest when it's almost dawn?"

Xu Qingjiu could no longer argue. Xu Qingjiu had no choice but to finally struggle and said:"That's okay, then senior brother sleeps inside and I sleep outside. Otherwise, I accidentally kicked you out of bed again at night"

"If you let me sleep on the inside, then I can only face the wall with my back to you? I'm facing you. If you really make a move, I can still resist it. Otherwise, wouldn't I just let you deal with the injury?"Xu Mulin didn't have this intention in his heart. He was just worried that Xu Qingjiu would fall out of bed at night, so he simply exaggerated Xu Qingjiu's worries.

But Xu Mulin's statement seemed to really scare Xu Qingjiu. Xu Qingjiu was stunned. It's neither left nor right, anyway, the left and right are wrong.

Xu Mulin didn't dare to say anything for a while, waiting for Xu Qingjiu to weigh the results. Xu Qingjiu slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Mulin. There was no need for Xu Qingjiu to speak. Mulin had already learned Xu Qingjiu's conclusion from Xu Qingjiu's probing eyes, and softly denied:"You can't lay the floor."

Xu Qingjiu had no choice but to let Xu Mulin remain in a stalemate with him without being able to rest, so he had to climb onto the bed obediently, face the wall, and sleep tightly against the wall. In the middle of the night

, Xu Mulin felt Waves of warm breath fell on his face, and he opened his eyes and woke up. Xu Mulin's back was injured and he could only sleep on his side. His back would be strained when he turned sideways. Xu Qingjiu put a pillow under Xu Mulin. It was convenient for Xu Mulin to relax his back.

Xu Qingjiu originally had his back to Xu Mulin, but it seemed that the wall was too cold, so Xu Qingjiu turned around and fell asleep close to Xu Mulin. But the location of Xu Mulin's injury was on the side Right, he could only lie on his side facing Xu Qingjiu. Therefore, when Xu Mulin opened his eyes, Xu Qingjiu's face was very close. Xu Mulin sighed softly and had to close his eyes not to look at Xu Qingjiu, but Xu Qingjiu Nine's breath still bothered Xu Mulin and he couldn't feel at ease. Xu Mulin had no choice but to bury his head in the pillow under him. Unexpectedly, all the breath went to Xu Mulin's ears. In an instant, Xu Mulin's blood surged all over his body, and it connected with his earlobe. Everything was red. Xu Mulin quickly raised his head and used his palms to block Xu Qingjiu's breath, but even the back of his hands was numb. Xu Mulin was panicked. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and thought about what if the second The Japanese had dark circles under their eyes again, so it would be difficult to explain this time, and Xu Qingjiu would probably blame himself. Xu Mulin had no choice but to endure the pain, moved his body up on his elbows, and pulled up the quilt She covered herself tightly and finally completely blocked Xu Qingjiu's breath.

When Xu Mulin woke up early the next morning, Xu Qingjiu was lying on the pillow under Xu Mulin, sleeping very deeply, with his head close to Xu Mulin On Xu Mulin's chin, a few broken hair rubbed slightly with the ups and downs of Xu Qingjiu's breathing. For Xu Mulin, it was really unbearable. Xu Mulin felt helpless: he was indeed very restless.

Outside The commotion slowly started, Xu Qingjiu slowly opened his eyes, and saw Xu Mulin's slightly open chest close at hand. Xu Qingjiu suddenly raised his head and sat up. Xu Mulin was having his heart scratched by a hundred claws, and he didn't know that Xu Mulin's heart was being scratched by a hundred claws. Qingjiu woke up. Xu Qingjiu suddenly raised his head and sat up. Xu Mulin's jaw, which had been numb just now, almost shattered his teeth. The sudden soreness made Xu Mulin's eyes filled with moisture.

"...Brother, are you okay?"

Xu Mulin moved his jaw. Fortunately, his jaw was fine and his teeth were not broken. Xu Mulin smiled helplessly and said,"It's okay. You sleep very peacefully at night, why do you make so much noise when you get up?"

"...I just opened my eyes and realized that I was so close to my senior brother...frightened"

"Scared?"Xu Mulin was confused: I don't know who scared whom.

"Being so close to senior brother, I thought I would touch his wounds"

"The wound is fine. If it were touched, wouldn't I be in pain now? But don't you think I'm fine?

Xu Qingjiu smiled awkwardly and said,"What senior brother said is that I just fell asleep.""

"Did he wake up after being hit so hard?"

"...Well, woke up."Xu Qingjiu lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Mulin.

Xu Mulin held up his hands and was about to sit up. Xu Qingjiu hurriedly stretched out his hands to support him. Xu Mulin sat up and reached out to touch the top of Xu Qingjiu's head,"Does it hurt? ?"

"It doesn't hurt, my head is very hard."

Hearing this, Xu Mulin pretended to cough a few times, and just wanted to get Xu Qingjiu out of bed quickly,"My throat is a little dry and itchy, please Qingjiu, please pour me a glass of water."

"good."With that said, Xu Qingjiu got up from the bed and went to the table, pouring only half a glass of water for Xu Mulin."The water is cold. Brother, let's moisten your throat first, and then I'll make a pot of hot tea."

"good."Xu Mulin achieved his goal and watched Xu Qingjiu put on clothes and leave the room in a hurry. Xu Mulin moved to where Xu Qingjiu was sleeping, pressed his forehead against the wall, and breathed deeply to calm down his"physical condition." Xu Mulin was very embarrassed, but also surprised that Xu Qingjiu's collision just now didn't calm him down. Fortunately, when Xu Qingjiu came back, Xu Mulin finally calmed down because he drank half a pot of cold tea.

"Senior brother, you were worried that you would have a bad stomach after drinking the cold tea yesterday."

"It's okay, it's good to drink some cold tea.

Xu Qingjiu asked curiously:"What is this statement?""

Xu Mulin coughed a few more times and said,"Cold tea can help you calm down."

"Do you need to calm down early in the morning? Isn’t it time to cheer up?"

The hot tea that he re-entered was indeed hot, burning his tongue. Xu Mulin could only use this to explain why he suddenly coughed violently.

"How is senior brother? Are you feeling better?"Xu Qingjiu patted Xu Mulin's back as he spoke.

Xu Mulin waited for a long time before his breath finally calmed down enough to speak,"It's okay.""

Unavoidable that Xu Qingjiu would ask questions related to this again, Xu Mulin directly changed the topic,"You also brought breakfast back along the way?"

"I happened to meet Butler Wu in the kitchen, so I brought back the food box he had prepared."

"Have you noticed what's going on in Guxia Village now?"

"I think it's because there is a funeral tomorrow, so many people came here, and..."Xu Qingjiu thought about it carefully and made sure that he had admitted it correctly before continuing:"There is a group of people dressed up by the Yuanyang Sect disciples we met when we were in Jiangning Mansion."

"Yuanyang sect? How are you doing?"

"He was ruthless and overbearing, had no sense of etiquette, and behaved like the master of Guxia Manor. He made the scene inexplicably lively, and his disciples even made noises. It was as if there was some happy event in Guxia Manor, and how could he come to express his condolences?"

"Qingjiu, don’t talk nonsense"

"It was Qingjiu who made a mistake"

"Qingjiu was also angry, but he couldn't lose his sense of proportion because of this."

"Yes, Qingjiu knows."

Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu are still doing nothing. Today, in order to avoid meeting people from the Yuanyang sect when they go out, they simply continue to stay in the room and read the books they found earlier. Li Jichu is also tired from trying to cope with today's scene. Didn't show up all day.
