Deep in the night knowing the snow

Mu Tangfeng came out of the water room after washing for more than half an hour, his face was a little red from the steam, and he was wearing a loose white linen jacket.

Xie Hanyu glanced at it, the fabric looked very rough, like hemp silk stripped from poplar hemp, I don't know how this person can bear it.

He remembered the reminder from the merit record that this person is the reincarnation of Jin Chan, a good man from the tenth generation of the Buddha. a handful.

Xie Hanyu wondered in his heart what kind of heartless person this is...but with a gentle smile on his face, he said to Mu Tangfeng, "I'm going to watch the boats on the bank of the river in a while, young master, do you want to come with me?"

Mu Tangfeng was looking for a robe from his luggage, nodded and said, "I'm with you, my lord."

From the corner of his eyes, he saw Xie Hanyu falling on the luggage in his hand. The luggage was wrapped in unused sheets, and there were a few dark patches on it.

Mu Tang was quite embarrassed on the face, and took out the washed pale blue robe from the luggage, thought for a while, and took the money bag with him.

Although the clothes are tattered, they can't support his health.Her skin is as cold as cream, her eyelashes are curled up slightly, and she seems to have a slight smile when she looks up at someone, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and there are two shallow dimples around her lips, which will be revealed when she smiles.

After Mu Tangfeng finished packing, he thought that Xie Hanyu paid the house money, so he dug out a few pieces of silver from the red purse, held it in his hand and asked him, "Mr. Xie, how much is the house money, I'll give it to you now. "

Xie Hanyu looked at the ugly purse sewn in his hand, it looked ugly and dirty, and he felt suffocated, but...the cold white and slender fingers were pinching the ugly purse, and there was no sense of disobedience.

He was a little playful in his heart, pretending to be embarrassed, "Master, you can keep it for yourself, there are not many anyway."

Mu Tangfeng said sternly, "I have to give it too, the young master's money is not just for nothing, how much?"

Xie Hanyu rolled his eyes at him, "Five liang of silver, spread it out equally, and the young master will give me two and a half."

Mu Tangfeng's hand holding the money bag was slightly tight, and he looked at the furnishings of the room. The sandalwood carved window, the pear wood table, the vermilion lacquer coffee table, and the incense wafting from the incense burner, it was the furnishings of the upper room.

He usually lives in the next room, but Mr. Xie has already made a decision... It is not appropriate to change it.

The corner of Mu Tangfeng's mouth turned downward, looking at the three broken silver coins in the money bag, he took out two to Xie Hanyu, and poured out all the copper coins underneath, counting fifty coins.

I spent more than half of it all at once... I'm afraid the rest of the money might not even be enough to go to Jingzhou.

Xie Hanyu took his money and smiled at him, "Mr. Mu is too polite, you have very little silver left, and you need five taels of silver to go to Jingzhou to take a boat...do you want me to pay for it first?"

Mu Tangfeng blushed at what he said, and quickly said, "No... I will figure out a solution in the next two days."

Xie Hanyu didn't force it, and comforted him a few words, and the two went downstairs together.

Mu Tangfeng followed behind Xie Hanyu, the streets and alleys around were full of traffic, Jiangyin was south of the Lingnan, a land of rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River, a prosperous and prosperous place with many bells and lanterns.

The vermilion lanterns hung on the edge of the glazed tile corridor, and the pale yellow tassels were scattered, and the breeze blew the willow branches on the water surface, making circles of ripples on the green lake surface.

He thought about the boat from Jiangyin to Jingzhou every half a month. If the boat hadn't come back, he could stay in Jiangyin for a few more days and find a way to save some money here.

"The boat to Jingzhou may take two days to arrive, but the tide on the river has been high recently... maybe it may come back earlier."

Mu Tangfeng nodded his head, his eyes fell on the round oranges on the cart by the side of the road, "I'll stay on the boat for seven or eight days, Mr. Xie will get seasick?"

He heard from Mrs. Song that the boat from Jiangyin to Jingzhou was no different from the usual small boats. They felt dizzy and dizzy, and many people couldn't bear it if they stayed on it for several days.

Xie Hanyu, "I'm not very dizzy. My son is seasick?"

Mu Tangfeng smiled, "I haven't sat down yet, so I don't know if I'm dizzy or not."

As he spoke, he came to the vendor selling orange carts and asked, "How do you sell these oranges?"

The peddler said, "Fifteen coins for five cents."

Mu Tangfeng took out his ugly big red money bag, squeezed out five copper coins from it, and handed it to the peddler.

"The oranges came out of the sand. Don't look ugly, the orange flesh is sweet inside."

The peddler took the copper coins, filled his oil paper bag with oranges, and handed it to him.

Mu Tangfeng went back to look for Xie Hanyu with the orange in his arms, and couldn't help but said, "My lord, these oranges are so cheap."

"There are only twenty pennies in my hometown."

Xie Hanyu glanced at it, this is an ugly orange, the peddler is right, it looks swollen and ugly, but it is really sweet.

"Where is your hometown?"

Of course he knew that Mu Tangfeng belonged to Yecheng, and now he just followed his words to ask.

Mu Tangfeng took out an orange and peeled it, his cold white fingers were stained with orange juice, the air was full of sour and sweet smell.

The pale orange flesh had silk on it, and he gave more than half of it to Xie Hanyu, who replied, "My hometown is in Lanjin. I lived with my mother when I was young, and then went to Yecheng with my father."

"Where is Mr. Xie? Where is it from?"

Xie Hanyu smiled slightly, took the orange, "Xuanqiu Eternal Spirit Realm."

Mu Tangfeng heard the word Xuanqiu familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard this place name.

Arriving at the edge of the Yin River, the turbulent river water rolled towards both sides, and the smell of water was blowing in the face. The current was much faster than the previous two days, and it didn't look like it could sail.

There was a fisherman collecting his net by the shore, Xie Hanyu asked him to wait for a while and asked about the situation.

There were many people by the riverside, and there were many spectators from Jiangyin who came to watch the scenery beside the vermilion railing. Mu Tangfeng was not far from them, and the discussions of several people fell into his ears.

One of the women said, "Recently, you have heard that many people disappeared in the city...all of them were about 20 years old, there were men and women, and it is said that they were taken away by flower pickers."

"But he was still a flower picker two months ago? I heard that he looks extremely ugly...every night when he breaks into a family's house, he will leave a black golden seal of crabapple on his arm."

"It's him...I heard that those who had the golden seal of Begonia disappeared...disappeared out of thin air...the city yamen servants searched for a long time but couldn't find it."

Mu Tangfeng listened to a few words, watched Xie Hanyu walk over, and collected his thoughts.

"How? Is it possible to sail in these two days?"

Xie Hanyu, "It will take a few days for the boat coming back from Jingzhou to reach Jiangyin. The Yinjiang River is in a hurry, so we can't leave for two days. We have to stay here for a few more days."

Mu Tangfeng was slightly relieved, it would be a good thing for him to come a few days late.

Walking the same way to the inn, Mu Tangfeng said, "Mr. Xie, do you want to stay in the inn tomorrow?"

Xie Hanyu raised his eyebrows, "Not here, what's the matter?"

Mu Tangfeng said, "I'm going out to sell calligraphy and paintings. I wanted Young Master to help me get them from the inn. I might not be able to finish them all by myself."

Tonight he has to rush out dozens of calligraphy and paintings, if no one helps him look at them, he can't go back to get them twice.

Xie Hanyu, "Then I'll take it down for you tomorrow before leaving."

The corners of Mu Tangfeng's lips curled up slightly, "Thank you."

"Young master, you are really a good man."

Xie Hanyu, "..."

Mu Tangfeng focused on talking to Xie Hanyu, holding a bag of oranges in his hand, and didn't notice that a slightly bowed person was approaching him.

There were not many people around, Mu Tangfeng felt that someone pushed him from behind, and his elbow hit someone, he looked sideways, and a beggar with his head bowed and his body in tatters rubbed his body and fell to the ground.

Mu Tangfeng quickly apologized, "Sorry, I..."

He was about to help the beggar up, but the black hair in front of the beggar blocked most of his face, and a pair of yellowed eyes faintly protruded from the hair.

Those eyes moved, and their eyes fell on the money bag in Mu Tangfeng's sleeve. His dirty fingers quickly tore off the money bag, turned around and got into the crowd.

Mu Tangfeng watched the beggar rob him of his purse, and was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and put the orange into Xie Hanyu's arms, and said, "Young master, wait for me at the inn." He hurried after him.

Xie Hanyu had a bag of ugly oranges in his arms, his eyes fell on the person who disappeared quickly, and he felt that there seemed to be a faint evil spirit in the air, so he clicked his tongue.

Nine Pillar Demon Spirit?Why are you here.

The record of merits and virtues in his arms flipped vaguely, and a few large characters were turned out inside.

The savior is in danger, please hurry to help.

Xie Hanyu took it out and looked at it, and made sure that the words "Missed from Immortal Chance" did not follow, took the merit record back, turned around and went back to the inn, not intending to help.

It's just right that the kid died, so he has to follow all the way to save trouble.

……

Mu Tangfeng chased through the crowd and shouted, "Stop—"

The beggar bowed and ran fast, looking back at him while running, and got into a side alley.

Mu Tangfeng chased after him. He didn't go out much on weekdays, and spent most of his time reading in the yard. His physique couldn't keep up, and he was out of breath after running for a while.

Beggars are obviously habitual offenders. Not only are the alleys remote, but they are also complicated one after another. After a while, there are no people in the alleys.

It was almost evening at this time, the alley was dark, the evening sun cast a line of yin and yang on the edge of the red wall, green plants and vines crawled on the wall, and felt a cold atmosphere head-on.

There are several shrines in the corner, and the statues inside are mostly black lacquered snake monsters and mouse demons, with long teeth and sharp claws, evil eyes, and tails wrapped tightly around the entire incense burner along the shrines.

Mu Tangfeng took a look and then looked away. He felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and he had a bad premonition.

His steps stopped.

At the corner not far ahead, the beggar sat on the ground, his black hair drooping slightly, his yellow eyes moved, his big red money bag was in his hand, and his blue lips curled up.

……

Xie Hanyu walked to the door of the inn, held the ugly tangerine in his hand, peeled one open and ate it by himself, just as he stepped into the door of the inn, the merit record turned a page.

Granting grace is not beneficial, and there is no chance for immortality.

There was still half an orange in his hand, Xie Hanyu took out the merit record with a blank face, and a cluster of light blue flames emerged from his fingertips.

Just because I ate an orange from that idiot, is it not a favor?
