Yanshan Exquisite Record

The rain fell like a raspberry, and the two figures, one green and one black, were as dead and silent as the stones in this old house that had not changed in 20 years.

Although Hua Yaojiu didn't move, the black bamboo tube didn't take half a step forward, he said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

"Who in this world would dare to threaten the owner of the flower valley." The man in black laughed hoarsely, "I was just discussing with the owner of the valley. Very human, the owner of Huagu is very human, how dare I miss the appointment again."

Hua Yaojiu suppressed her anger, "How are they doing now?"

The man in black said, "Please rest assured, the owner of the valley. The people of Yingu, the owner of Linglong Villa and the three disciples of Wudang are naturally honored guests of the humble house, so we cannot help being slighted."

Hua Yaojiu sarcastically said, "Then what will you do? Continue to be your famous scholar?"

"For the owner of the Flower Valley, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. I just hope that you will take this matter to the grave. When the matter is resolved in the rivers and lakes, I will let you go." The man in black glanced at the bamboo tube at his waist, " But now, I have to trouble Master Hua Gu to let him go first."

Although Hua Yaojiu was sneering, he still took a step back. He stood with his hands behind his back, and the black bamboo tube in his hand was lightly turned into his sleeves. A puff of sandalwood floated by in front of him. The man in black had turned over and jumped in the rain. It climbed onto the low branch where the wild geese stayed, flew over the mottled low wall lightly, and then disappeared.

Hua Yaojiu stared at the direction where the shadow left, and there were ruins all over the place, as if the old bloody smell had been washed away by the heavy rain and permeated thoroughly. He suddenly wanted to retch, and his left leg There was also a dull pain, many years ago, he had smelled this smell elsewhere, in a narrow small room, the blood on the floor was mixed with helplessness, despair and gloomy death.

But during that most painful time, there seemed to be a glimmer of light.

"Whose child are you?"

"Are you hungry? Here's something to eat..."

"Why don't you play with Xueqiao? He is as old as you, and he can't even walk steadily. You should be my younger brother too."

"This is the pendant given to me by Uncle Ruan. You must have nothing to do if you don't talk like this every day. This is for you..."

The girl in pink with two teeth showing in front of her suddenly disappeared, forming a handsome and gentle smiling face. That person has a reputation envied by the world and peerless martial arts, stroking the messy black hair on his forehead.

"How is the Yellow Emperor's internal classics learned today?"

"Your body is not suitable for practicing swords, but it is still suitable for reading."

"Xueqiao? He is different from you. He has many ways to go. Wu, Shang, Confucianism, and Song Zhuangzhu will arrange it for him. Of course, I will arrange your way for you..."

Lightning flashes and thunder, Hua invites wine to smile wryly, the old things will be out of control if they are recalled for a moment, the clearer the more painful, he stubbornly stood up straight, letting the faint smell rage in the air , even though the pendant in his hand has been soaked with thin sweat.

What should I do?Tell Song Xueqiao everything, and then the world will be in an uproar, and everyone will die together?Or do you follow the man's word and take all he knows to the grave?Or is it to poison Song Xueqiao into a fool and knock him out and bring him back to Yingu, so that he will never ask about this matter?

Startled by his own thoughts, he shook his head.

"Valley Master." The man's voice was close to his ears.

A person hangs upside down from the eaves like a bat. Qi Yuanxiao landed lightly, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and presented an umbrella, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. There is still a way to Shilipo from here. My subordinates are here to give you an umbrella." .”

Hua Yaojiu looked at his drenched forehead hair, took the brand new paper umbrella, and sighed, "I asked you to wait at Shilipo, why didn't you obey the order."

Qi Yuanxiao didn't get up, but said, "It's rainy, Gu Master, your legs..."

"My leg has been healed a long time ago." Hua Yaojiu interrupted him, opened the umbrella and walked out, his figure froze on the threshold, "The martial arts come here today, even I am not [-]% sure that I can beat him , How dare you disobey orders and come here, and after you go back, you will receive the punishment yourself."

Qi Yuanxiao didn't refute, but lowered his head and said, "Yes."

"How long has it been since you saw your son?" Hua Yaojiu said suddenly, a flash of light illuminated half of the sky, and a gentle look flashed across the face of the young man under the eaves.

Qi Yuanxiao didn't seem to have expected him to ask such a strange question suddenly, but when Hua Yaojiu asked, he never hesitated, and his tone was a little more gentle, "It's been two months, Wanwan and him are in Gusu. Had a great time."

"It must be eight years old, it must be very cute." Hua Yaojiu said lightly.

"Yes, I will be eight years old after the next year, and I just changed my teeth, and my teeth are leaking all day long." Qi Yuanxiao laughed, and scratched his head again, "Master Gu asked about Ah Lan, what's the matter?"

Hua Yaojiu had already pushed the door open and walked out, her tone was calm and clear as always, "It's just a casual question, the rain is so heavy, I'm a little tired, I should go back."

Qi Yuanxiao didn't think about his casual question, nodded and said, "Cheng Ding Yucai and the others are waiting for you to go to town for dinner."

"Hmm." Hua Yaojiu responded lightly, then suddenly smiled again, "I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus duck."

Qi Yuanxiao saw that he was a bit lonely at first, and was wondering what had happened, but when he saw him open his mouth, he felt relieved and walked quickly towards Shilipo.

In Yinshui Villa, at Xu time, the shadows of lights flicker.

Song Xueqiao staggered into Lu Zhanmu's heavily guarded bedroom with a bowl of soup warmed by Gongsun Qingyan.

Young Master Jingxian, who is known as a chivalrous man, leaned on the edge of the bed, his complexion was like the plain onyx hanging from inside and outside of Yinshui Villa, his lips were dry and chapped, and his eyes were swollen. toss.

"Come, come, brother, give you medicine." Song Xueqiao walked to the bed, put down the medicine bowl, fanned it again, squeezed his ears, and complained, "Gongsun is really, I have to serve you hot Come, I'm not afraid of scalding you again."

Lu Zhanmu looked at him, and brought a spoonful of bitter medicine to his lips, but he remained motionless.

"Hey, open your mouth." Song Xueqiao put away the spoon and knocked on the bowl, "You said you fell asleep all day, and it was so easy to catch you awake. My brother is here to take care of you. Don't give it to the uncle. I put on airs."

Lu Zhanmu coughed, but still looked like a statue.

"Hanchuan, where are my father and Wangting?"

Song Xueqiao was taken aback, the spoon fell into the thick black concoction with a bang, and he lowered his head.

This bedroom was decorated just like the day of the wedding. At that time, Yinshui Villa was in chaos, and the servants did not have time to rectify it. On the red sandalwood cabinet beside the bed, there were two gold-painted dragon and phoenix wedding candles. It was a long-lasting kindness. But now, their master ended his life with a pair of scissors without even being able to set them on fire.

Lu Zhanmu looked at the candle with empty eyes, then closed his eyes again, two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably from under his eyelashes.

"Why did she..."

"Don't think about it." Song Xueqiao patted him on the shoulder, "At least Lin Lin is still here, and we are still here."

However, Lu Zhanmu shook his head, covered his face with his hands, and grabbed his hair tightly, "Hanchuan, I once swore that if I find someone in this life, I will marry her in and keep her safe and worry-free forever. The mistress of the family, embroidering flowers and admiring the moon, playing the piano and practicing calligraphy, and then our children and grandchildren will be full of children and grandchildren, and we will go to the grave holding hands... I can give her anything, as long as she asks, I can even dig out my heart. Why do you hate me so much!"

Lu Zhanmu was modest and polite, and never lost his composure, but now he roared out like a trapped animal.

Song Xueqiao couldn't say a word, so he could only support his slightly trembling shoulders. The people under him held their heads and choked up, "What the hell did I do... I said it well at the beginning, why did she suddenly come to us?" Suicide on their wedding night?"

On the wedding night, committing suicide in front of the guests and in front of her husband was indeed the best and most ruthless revenge, but Lu Zhanmu didn't know that even if Gu Wangting didn't commit suicide, she was doomed to die long ago.

"Zhan Mu." Song Xueqiao narrowed his eyes and put down the medicine bowl, turned his head away, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Do you want to avenge her?"

"Revenge?" Lu Zhanmu raised his eyes in surprise.

"Before she died, she was hit by Yanshan's ink ice needle." Song Xueqiao didn't intend to hide it from him, "Just like the three people in the Yingyang Martial Arts Conference, all these things are aimed at Yinshui Villa, including the death of the old owner Lu, Including your wedding and... sister-in-law committing suicide."

Lu Zhanmu looked at him blankly, as if he couldn't understand these words. He had heard a lot about the relationship between Yanshan Mo Bingzhen and Song Xueqiao since he was a child, and Yanshan Mo Bingzhen and Ding Mobai seemed to have never been thousands of miles away from each other. He just opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't say anything.

Song Xueqiao asked for him, "When did you and sister-in-law meet?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Lu Zhanmu's face.

Gu Wangting is a girl from Chuzhou, she is the daughter of Gu Pin, a silk merchant. A wealthy lady should be carefree, but Gu Wangting's mother was born in a brothel. A diva who was brought up to be funny, when she was happy, she would be favored by her, and when she was unhappy, she would be left in another courtyard to fend for herself. When she was old, she never even set foot in the door.

As time passed, Mother Gu saw through the coldness of the world, and only concentrated on raising this only daughter who was raised in a deep boudoir.

Therefore, although Gu Wangting is a concubine's daughter, she never fails to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she grows gracefully.

Until the beginning of autumn of this year, Gu's mother suddenly fell ill and passed away in another hospital. Gu Pinzheng's wife saw that the concubine's room and this beautiful daughter were not pleasing to the eye, so she came to the house to make trouble, and made a small disturbance on the third day, and a big disturbance on the fifth day, disturbing the neighbors. Unable to find peace, Gu Wangting was young and thin-skinned, so he couldn't stand this humiliation. He fled overnight with a small sum of money that Gu's mother had saved, but ran into bandits after leaving the city.

Lu Zhanmu Yunyou passed by and rescued the woman.

He was surprised that this woman's eyebrows and eyes looked very much like his and Lu Linlin's deceased mother, but in just one month, Lu Zhanmu came to the door and left a hundred taels of gold saying that he would take Gu Wangting away.

Gu Pin had long forgotten about this daughter who didn't know where she came from, and he couldn't even let her into the Gu family tree, but merchants valued profits most, and they could get involved with martial arts schools, and even become a wealthy family in Yinshui Villa The father-in-law of the young master of the Lu family, no one would refuse such a good deed, so Gu Pin accepted the marriage without hesitation, and prepared a generous dowry for Gu Wangting's naturalization.

Just overnight, the pheasant turned into a phoenix, and Gu Wangting became the envied lady of the Gu family, the young lady of Yinshui Villa.

Not long after the two stayed in Chuzhou, Lu Heng was critically ill. A letter was sent to Lu Zhanmu, and the two decided to return to the village to get married.

Then, Gu Wangting put on a wedding dress and committed suicide in the wedding room.

Song Xueqiao said, "During the time you've been together, is there anything unusual about her?"

Lu Zhanmu smiled bitterly, "No, she is very quiet. Sometimes I make her laugh and buy her novelty gadgets, but she just covers her mouth and smiles, saying that the young master can no longer act like a child, and she also cares about my family very much. Asked about my father's health and my mother who died young, and said that she wanted to find a good husband's house for Lin Lin, I said that Lin Lin had long wanted to belong to Mr. Pei, so she asked Mr. Pei about his appearance and family background."

Song Xueqiao frowned, and only heard Lu Zhanmu continue, "I said Mr. Pei is my good brother, and he is also a great disciple of Wudang. The head of Zhang regards him as his own. He is an amazing talent in every aspect, and even more The young master of Linglong Villa is helping behind the scenes, and she was happier than me when she heard about it, she said so, and as a sister-in-law, she can feel at ease."

Lu Zhanmu clenched his fists, "Han Chuan, tell me, who would want to harm such a good woman."

Song Xueqiao looked at him deeply, seeing the shattered hope in his eyes, yes, such a poor woman, who would harm her and plant such a vicious Yanshan Mobing needle?

A moon-white figure flashed outside the door, Pei Wunian had been here for a while, but after all, he didn't know Lu Zhanmu very well, and he came here just to fulfill the duty of a nominal "brother-in-law". Since Song Xueqiao's accident, he has been there all the time Staring at the surroundings, he wanted to open the door and enter the house, but he heard a clear conversation inside. Did he put his hands down and walked out of the house silently.

As the night spread, Yinshui Villa was as quiet as a huge tomb. A gray figure rushed into him under the hanging flower gate, panting heavily and bumped into him.

Pei Wunian subconsciously stretched out his hand to help him, and what caught his eyes was a face as anxious as death, and the moment he saw him, he almost burst into tears.

Uncle Xu grabbed Pei Wunian's arm tightly and shouted, "Young Master Pei! Where's my young master?"
