Sudden Snow Sealing Poison

"Why has the cloth door in the west of the city been closed for the past few days? I still want to buy a few bolts of cloth and go back to make two clothes for the girl."

"You mean the biggest one? Don't expect it to open."

"how?"

"That's the Shen family's shop—the Shen family has been heavily investigated recently, and a lot of people have come from above, haven't you seen it? Their shop is almost completely closed..."

"Isn't their family flourishing these past few years?"

"I heard that they were found out for tax evasion in other places, and there were allegations of collusion between government and businessmen. Oh, I don't know. Anyway, the Shen family probably did it this time."

"But I don't think there's any movement in the Shen family. Maybe it's because they did something shameful."

"It's because Mr. Shen is ill..."

"Poor thing..."

Zheng Tingxue stood quietly in a tea shop in Wulin Town, listening to all the conversations of the people at the drinking and tea table in the restaurant across the street.

"Young Master Zheng?"

Zheng Tingxue looked up, and the owner of the tea shop personally handed him the box, "The green tea you want."

He reached out to take it, thanked him, and left the tea shop.

Shen's house had just been renovated a few years ago, and the red eaves and green tiles under the shade of a row of peach willows were brand new and bright.Zheng Tingxue only waited in front of the gate for a while, and someone rushed to open the door for him.

"Mr. Zheng." The person who came was a young butler, and he quickly took the tea box from Zheng Tingxue's hand, and invited him in, "Why don't you tell me in advance that you are coming, so we can send someone to pick you up .”

Zheng Tingxue followed him into the yard and said, "No trouble."

"How can it be troublesome, Mr. Zheng will come next time, please be sure to inform the younger ones. The head of the family has specially told you not to neglect Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Tingxue asked: "How is he these days?"

The butler answered him with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes: "It's much better than before. Once Mr. Zheng comes, the mood of the head of the house must be better."

They walked to a secluded garden, and the butler held the tea box and said respectfully: "The head is resting in the room, and the younger one is going to prepare some refreshments for Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Tingxue nodded, the housekeeper bowed to him, turned and left.

Although the small garden where Shen Zhan lives is not big, it is very clean and tidy. The only downside is that the light is not very good and the sun is not sunny. Even if you walk into the garden during the day when the sun is hot, you will still feel a bit of unseasonable coolness.The trees in front of the main house are surrounded by shade, and no birdsong is heard.

Zheng Tingxue pushed open the door, the room was very dark and smelled faintly of medicine.He walked in slowly, and saw Shen Zhan lying quietly on the bed behind the half-closed bed curtain.

He fell asleep.When Shen Zhan was asleep, he looked different from when he was awake. Those bewitching glazed eyes were closed, making his face less daunting and dreamy, and returning to tranquility and vitality.Although he still looks so pale, the original rosy lips have faded away, the knuckles of the hand placed on the quilt are distinct, and the back of the hand is faintly blue and white.

Zheng Tingxue stood by the bed and looked at him for a while, then approached him gently, and sat on the edge of the bed.

The night Shen Zhan was tortured by the fairy grass and went crazy, Zheng Tingxue took care of him all night.Of course, it's taking care of me, but I can't describe it as being in a hurry.Zheng Tingxue has never taken care of anyone since she was a child. Just changing the dirty clothes and cleaning the body for the unconscious Shen Zhan left him with water stains. The water in the basin was changed twice before the blood on Shen Zhan's body was removed. wipe clean.The bed and the floor were also dirty, Zheng Tingxue reluctantly splashed clean water on the floor, as for the sheets and quilts, he really couldn't remove and wash them, so he had to pick up Shen Zhan and change to another bedroom.

He stayed in front of Shen Zhan's bed all night, and sent him back to Shen's house early the next morning.It wasn't until the people watching the Shen family found a doctor for Shen Zhan that he returned home alone.

Shen Zhan was in a coma for seven days and seven nights. Zheng Tingxue went to see him twice, and only squatted on the wall and looked through the window from a distance, without alarming others.He saw that although Shen Zhan was in a coma, there was always someone looking after him, so he didn't come back.

It wasn't until Shen Zhan woke up and wanted to see Zheng Tingxue that Zheng Tingxue formally came to Shen's house to visit him with a door ceremony.But when Zheng Tingxue came to him, he fell asleep again.

Zheng Tingxue looked down at Shen Zhan, his eyes moved to his thin wrist, his hand slowly reached over, and held that wrist.

Shen Zhan's skin was very cold, and the temperature seemed very strange in summer.Zheng Tingxue frowned slightly, and pressed her fingertips on the pulse point under her wrist.

"Touch what?"

Zheng Tingxue was taken aback.Shen Zhan woke up at some point, opened his eyes and looked at him, with a smile on his pale face, "He even touched me while I was asleep."

Zheng Tingxue had no choice but to withdraw her hand, Shen Zhan sat up, the quilt slid down, revealing her porcelain-like chest under the loose single clothes.He clasped Zheng Tingxue's wrist with his backhand, "Are you worried about me?"

Zheng Tingxue said, "Yes."

Shen Zhan took his hand, Zheng Tingxue sat over and let him hug her waist.

"That's not in vain for me to toss about." Shen Zhan smiled softly.

They were so close that their lips touched naturally.Shen Zhan's lips are very cold, Zheng Tingxue's is very warm, the two people's temperature does not violate each other, it is just right to stick together.Shen Zhan pulled Zheng Tingxue's waist forcefully, pressed him into his arms, and put his tongue into his mouth.

After the kiss, Shen Zhan gave Zheng Tingxue a hard bite, licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and made a sound of water when he left.

"Did you visit me when I was asleep?"

"came."

"Did you meet any messy people?"

"No."

Shen Zhan still smiled softly, "Really."

"I'll know." He whispered in Zheng Tingxue's ear, "You also know that I have sent many people to follow you. Although they are a bunch of trash and always leave you behind, but if someone comes looking for you, I'll still know."

He whispered, "If someone is looking for you, I will kill him, I will. So I will kill Meng Ran, he has lived by your side for too long, Xiaoxue."

Shen Zhan grabbed Zheng Tingxue's collar tightly and asked him to look at him, "Not only him, but everyone who wants to get close to you, don't want to live."

When Zheng Tingxue left the small garden where Shen Zhan lived, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the housekeeper who had brought him in standing at the gate of the garden, holding a plate of refreshments in his hand, and he seemed to be lingering and did not come in for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Tingxue asked.

The young butler came back to his senses and hurriedly apologized to him, "Master Zheng is leaving now? It's because I didn't treat you well. Madam asked the cook to prepare these refreshments for you..."

"No need." Zheng Tingxue thought for a while, turned around, and said, "I haven't seen Mrs. Shen yet."

"This..." The housekeeper showed a bit of embarrassment, Zheng Tingxue saw that he seemed to have some difficulties, so she said, "It's okay, it's not convenient this time, I'll just come back next time."

He raised his feet to leave, but was stopped by the housekeeper, "It's convenient, it's convenient! How dare you ask Mr. Zheng to make more trips. Please follow me."

The young man's attitude towards him was very strange, with both respect and awe, but this was obviously the first time they had met.Zheng Tingxue is neither fierce nor scary at all, and she doesn't know what the other party is afraid of.He followed behind the butler and asked, "Why didn't you come in just now?"

The housekeeper answered him cautiously: "I'm afraid I will disturb Mr. Zheng's conversation with the master, and make the master unhappy."

Zheng Tingxue didn't say anything.

When they came to an elegant and quiet house, the housekeeper said outside the door, "Madam, Young Master Zheng has come to see you."

An old woman's voice came from inside: "Is Tingxue coming? Please come in."

Zheng Tingxue entered the room, and the housekeeper left after setting up the refreshments.Mrs. Shen came to greet him in person, "It's Tingxue, good boy, remember to come and see me, old bone, good boy."

Old Mrs. Shen has lost a lot of weight, her hair is gray, her plump and round cheeks are almost out of shape, her eyes have lost all energy, and her eyes are wandering back and forth, with a look of shrinking and not daring to move forward.

Mrs. Shen is famous for her kind heart.She believed in Buddhism when she was young, and she has always insisted on doing good deeds and accumulating merit. Because of this, she picked up Shen Zhan from the side of the road.She doesn't see pity and injustice, and usually gives porridge to the poor, and donates the clothes and jewelry she has changed to them, and asks them to sell them for food and drink.

But such old Mrs. Shen, now for some reason, has become old and pitiful, staying alone in the exquisite and empty courtyard, not leaving the gate.

Zheng Tingxue sat at the table opposite her, and asked calmly, "Madam, how are you doing?"

"Good, good, all good."

He observed the old woman, "Madam seems to be worried."

"Worries?" Mrs. Shen reacted a little slowly, and shook her head after a while, "There is nothing to worry about."

Then she showed a sad expression, "Sometimes I miss my old man so much...why did he leave so early? Why...why did he get sick all of a sudden."

Zheng Tingxue lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"When I got sick, I couldn't talk anymore." Mrs. Shen murmured, "I chant scriptures and Buddha for him every day, but I can't call him back... Illness comes like a mountain, Tingxue, can you Be well, take care of your body, and don't get sick..."

It was evening when Zheng Tingxue left Shen's house.He didn't go home, but turned halfway to a restaurant in the city.It was dinner time when Zheng Tingxue arrived, and the building was lively, so he went upstairs and entered a box at the corner.

As soon as he opened the door, a two-finger-sized wine glass flew towards him. As expected, Zheng Tingxue raised his hand to hold the wine glass, and put it aside casually. Then a sword light came, Zheng Tingxue But Xue didn't even touch the scabbard, she just turned around just enough to avoid the sword edge, she appeared behind the visitor in an instant, and slapped the person on the shoulder, seemingly useless, but slapped the person hard With a loud cry, the arm holding the sword shook, and the sword fell to the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" Qu Hechen hurriedly rubbed his numb arm, hurriedly picked up the sword on the ground, "But I haven't seen you for a few years, how come martial arts have advanced to such a level by leaps and bounds? I can hand in a few hands with you!"

Zheng Tingxue sat down on the couch and said, "You have regressed."

Qu Hechen came over and sat down with a sword in his hand, with a guilty look on his face, "There are so many miscellaneous things and I'm very busy, it's really a bit wasteful."

Zheng Tingxue and Qu Hechen met in a spar a few years ago.Qu Hechen, like other Jianghu people, came to find someone to compete with with enthusiasm after hearing about Xiao Baimei's reputation.Qu Hechen is a typical boy with a temperament. He traveled south from the far north alone, crossed the Qinling Mountains alone, and rushed to the door of Zheng's house to knock on the door.It happened to be Zheng Tingxue who opened the door for him at that time, Qu Hechen said straight to the point that he wanted to learn his kung fu, Zheng Tingxue didn't talk too much, even when he took out the white plum, the two of them didn't exchange any greetings, and they flashed their swords in the yard.

In the end, within ten moves, Qu Hechen was defeated by Zheng Tingxue.

Qu Hechen was surprised but convinced.He personally tried Zheng Tingxue's skills, truly realized the gap between himself and Xiao Baimei, and finally admitted that Xiao Baimei's reputation was well-deserved.Although Qu Hechen was proud, he accepted it.The only pity is that he wanted to let Zheng Tingxue accept him as a disciple with a shy face, but the two people cultivated different internal skills, what Zheng Tingxue cultivated was pure and decent internal energy, and what Qu Hechen cultivated was evil internal energy.

At that time, Qu Hechen was the young master of the Qu family who was the leading family of the evil faction in Jianghu—except for the largest evil family, the Nie family, the Qu family was next.Although he is from the evil sect, Qu Hechen is not at all like the evil sect no matter his appearance or temperament.He carelessly broke into the gate of the first family of the decent sect, not to mention his miserable defeat, he was still trying to get along with Zheng Tingxueba, if those families of the evil faction listened to it, he would probably be scolded again.

But Qu Hechen didn't care about these rules, and Zheng Tingxue didn't care either, so when Qu Hechen said he wanted to be brothers with him, Zheng Tingxue agreed indifferently.

"What are you going to do between brothers?" Zheng Tingxue asked him.

Qu Hechen was stunned by the question, "If you want to ask this question, it really stumps me. I guess, if the other party asks you for help if they have any difficulties, just give them a hand?"

Zheng Tingxue nodded: "Understood."

"But I think, since you're so strong and I'm not weak, we shouldn't have any difficulties. I guess we'll meet up later when we have time, and sit together for a drink or something."

"I do not drink."

"Okay, okay, eat! Is it okay to eat?"

"Yes." Zheng Tingxue said, "If you come to Jiangbei again, I will treat you to dinner."

Qu Hechen laughed happily, "Okay, then if you come to our house, I'll treat you to mutton."

Zheng Tingxue thought for a while and said, "I probably won't go to places as far away as northern Xinjiang."

"Oh." Qu Hechen scratched his hair, but didn't care, "It's nothing, I just come to see you when I have time."

Since that farewell, the two have never met again, and there has been no news through this year.But Zheng Tingxue sent someone to send a letter to Qu Hechen, and Qu Hechen still didn't say anything, and when he received the letter, he rushed south from the far north to Zheng Tingxue's side.

"The letter didn't say anything specific, it just said that there was something very important that I wanted to help, which made me scratch my head, curious and excited, and even ignored my father scolding me, and rushed all the way here. "Qu Hechen stuffed beef into his mouth with chopsticks, and muttered, "Tell me, what difficult task is assigned to me, let me show my skills."

Zheng Tingxue didn't move her chopsticks, and waited until he was almost finished eating before she said, "It's not something that will let you show off your talents."

After Qu Hechen finished eating the meat, he sat down to drink, and shrugged when he heard the words, "It's not a bad idea to try a small knife."

Zheng Tingxue said: "I want to ask Brother Qu to take care of my family."

The hand holding the wine glass froze.Qu Hechen was stunned. He looked at Zheng Tingxue, and saw that the person sitting opposite him looked calm, with one hand on the table steadily, and his dark eyes were also looking at him, as calm as an eternal bright moon.
