Peach Blossom Button

On the first night after moving away from Tang Lin's house, he slept very peacefully.

Although there were traces of cleaning in this "uninhabited" house, there were no expected people.I don't know if it was observed in secret, or it was just a coincidence.But at dawn, Tao Mo was awakened by the sound of footsteps coming from far to near outside the door. The swordsman gently pulled out the Zhuohua sword under his pillow, and quietly approached downstairs.

At this time, the morning light on the forest has not reflected into the window, and the inside of the house is not yet clear, only the outline can be seen vaguely.Tao Mo stood by the stairs with his sword in his hand, looking downstairs.I saw a short figure walking briskly towards the bottom floor of the stilted building.

This kind of local unique building, the ground floor is used to store farm tools and sundries or raise livestock, and it is generally not inhabited.When he first moved in for a temporary stay, Tao Mo took a special look at the bottom of the roof propped up by pillars because he was fresh. It was just dark inside. I don’t know if it was because of the vegetation or other reasons. He couldn’t see it at all. Clear what's below.

And now, that little black shadow just walked to the bottom floor.At this time, a few cock crows sounded from a distance, and the sunlight gradually became stronger, and the faint morning light shone, stripping the little black shadow out of its original blurred outline.

A fifteen or six-year-old girl, wearing a colorful dress like a butterfly, just stood at the bottom of the stilted building, calling softly in the local dialect, as if she was looking for someone.

But in the darkness downstairs on the hanging feet, no one responded to her.A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on her face, and then she turned and left in disappointment.

Seeing the girl leave, Tao Mo turned around.

"It's that little girl named Aniduo."

When Tao Mo turned around, he happened to meet Tantai Ying who came out with him, and he obviously already knew that the swordsman was standing behind him, so he was not very surprised, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is her name?"

"Well," Tan Taiying nodded, "According to what Asha said, the two of them have a very good relationship."

Tao Mo glanced in the direction where the girl left, his eyes fixed on the darkness at the bottom of the stilted building.And Tantai Ying was also quite concerned about this place, he exchanged glances with Tao Mo, turned over, and jumped downstairs lightly, clutching the handle of the Chiluan knife tightly, and walked into the darkness.

Tao Mo didn't go down, but just stood there, waiting for Tantaiying's response.He only heard a crackling sound in the bottom floor, as if he accidentally kicked something in the dark, and then he heard Tantai Ying curse something, after that, the swordsman staggered out of the bottom floor in disgrace, Tantai As soon as Ying came out, she patted her dusty and cobweb-stained clothes vigorously, raised her head and shouted to Tao Mo: "There's nothing underneath! It's all a mess of junk, and there's no one left!"

After all, the Master of the Excalibur Shaogu went upstairs to change with a dust that had not been shaken off his clothes.Tao Mo stood where he was, hesitated for a moment, and went to the bottom floor by himself to take a look inside.The ground floor of this stilted building is still overgrown with weeds, and nothing can be seen in the black paint, as if the sun does not care about this place at all.

Who is that girl calling?Isn't it human?

Tao Mo didn't know why he had this idea suddenly, but he thought about it carefully, maybe someone really lived in the house on the edge of the village, just because the three of them moved here and temporarily hid it.

With the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, the Miaojiang village hidden deep in the forest seemed to wake up from sleep. Looking from a distance, smoke rose from the kitchen. Although the village seemed deserted because too many people were missing, but Anyway, it is a bit "popular".Tao Mo's eyes suddenly dimmed. He just stood in this foreign land, but frequently recalled the hometown that he could never return to.

It's natural to be homesick, but when you know you can't go back, you feel so heavy that you can't breathe.Whether it was his hometown many years ago or Qiulian Mountain, he couldn't go back.But now, because Tang Lin suspected Bai Wangyan, he even offended his senior brother who had been on good terms with him since he was a child, and even kept in touch with him before.

Thinking of this, Tao Mo was suddenly a little confused, he took a step unconsciously, walked a few steps but stopped again.

The senior brother was thinking of himself, but Bai Wangyan had saved his life, and there was another kind of unexplainable affection mixed in, Tao Mo didn't know what to do.But that was his senior brother after all.

After weighing in his heart, Tao Mo took another step and walked out.

Tantaiying changed clothes and came out, but Tao Mo was gone, and when she was about to look for him, Bai Wangyan walked out slowly.He seems to be resting well, even his face is a little more bloody than before, but he is still pale, his hair like a waterfall of snow hangs down on his shoulders, and he is dressed in white, as if he was carved out of white snow.

It was indeed Bai Xue. With Tao Mo's absence, the person in front of him suddenly became colder.On the contrary, Tan Taiying felt that it was much more relaxed. The Bai Jin he knew was originally the cold and indifferent personality who liked to answer everyone, which reminded him of the encounter many years ago.

Seeing him coming out, Tantai Ying immediately said: "Brother Tao seems to have gone out, he was still here just now."

And Bai Wangyan just glanced at him indifferently: "It should be to find his senior brother."

Seeing Tan Taiying's slightly surprised expression, Bai Wangyan was silent for a while, and added: "He has a conflict with his senior brother, and he feels very sorry."

"That's it..." Tan Taiying shook his head, because of the letter brought by Bai Ying, he also had extremely suspicious and guarded against the person in front of him, but when they had a conflict with Tang Lin, Tan Taiying was still He chose to defend Bai Wangyan.Even though... that fox-faced poison doctor did have some truths.

Thinking about it this way, Tan Taiying suddenly realized that he might not be speaking for Bai Wangyan sincerely, he was looking at Tao Mo's face, and he had to admit that he was a little afraid of confronting these two people.To be against Tao Mo means to lose a friend, but to be against this Bai Wangyan in front of him... the Lord of the Excalibur Shaogu knows that he does have a little fear of Bai Wangyan in his heart, and the more he works with this person, the more he can understand this No matter how capable a person is, even if he is just a literati who doesn't know martial arts, in terms of knowledge and courage, he can even surpass some people who practice martial arts.

Fortunately, he is only a literati.

Bai Wangyan sighed suddenly, and said with a smile, "Ah, I haven't thanked you yet, but thank you Shaogu Master for saving me yesterday."

"What's the matter? That's the truth." Unexpectedly, he brought up the matter by himself, Tan Taiying quickly waved his hand and replied: "Besides, you and Tao Mo are both my friends, how can you let him doubt you so much?" , why are you polite!"

Bai Wangyan glanced at him, shook his head and sighed: "Master doesn't want to bring up the Shuangyue Pavilion matter, and I have never met the elder brother who was expelled from the master's school a long time ago, no wonder the master saw me that day. Poisonous, the expression on his face is not right..."

Tan Taiying said helplessly: "The whereabouts of the people in Shuangyue Pavilion have always been secretive. In addition, Naya envoys never show their true colors to others. There are rumors in the world that they are women, not to mention their age. I don't know why Tang Miracle Doctor mentioned it. This matter...Mr. Bai, don't take this matter too seriously, since Brother Tao has gone to find his senior brother, it shouldn't be too difficult..."

"Yeah." Bai Wangyan nodded and frowned, "It's okay to doubt me, but if it hurts the feelings of their brothers and sisters, I'm really sorry."

"But for Brother Tao, it would be too much to doubt Mr. Bai..." Tantaiying suddenly felt that it was extremely strange to say this, he quickly shut his mouth, stretched out his hand to half cover his mouth, and mulled over the words, but still I felt that it was a little inappropriate to say it, so I waved my hand and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother Tao should be fine."

Bai Wangyan gave him a strange look, and replied, but didn't say anything more.

Tan Taiying knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she quickly evaded that she wanted to go to Asha to continue to understand the situation in the village, said goodbye, and left in a hurry.Only Bai Wangyan was left alone in this stilted building.

The young man in white stood alone by the stairs, looking deeply at the direction where Master Shaogu was leaving, but the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
