Hot as China, cold as snow

Nine Are we the same as before?

Tie Mian chased after the footprints on the road.But after an hour, he finally found Mr. Liu's trace in a trap.It was a trap set by savages to catch wild animals, and Mr. Liu accidentally fell into the trap when he was in a trance.The sharpened bamboo stick standing upright in the trap had hurt his leg, and he had apparently passed out and was unconscious.

Seeing Mr. Liu in such a mess, Tie Mian suddenly felt panicked. He looked around and tried to calm himself down.The forest is dark and damp, and the ground is covered with rotten leaves and other debris. It is not safe here. Since there are savages who set traps here, there will inevitably be savages, and they must leave as soon as possible.He finally found a long vine on one side of the tree, which was very strong.He wrapped the vine around the tree on one side and around his own waist on the other, and descended under the trap as fast as he could, and carefully carried Young Master Liu on his back.

When his hands touched his body, he felt the temperature that was different from ordinary people. His face was as pale as snow, his brows were tightly furrowed, his hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, as if he had sensed the movement around him, he hummed Twice, but the eyes did not open.

When Tie Mian led him to the ground, he realized that Mr. Liu's leg was bleeding profusely, and half of a bamboo stick was stabbed in his left calf.Iron Face frowned, tore his clothes into strips and did a simple bandage on his injured leg.Tie Mian carried Mr. Liu on his shoulders and left the scene as quickly as possible.

Back in the small cave, he carefully treated Mr. Liu's wound, and found good healing medicine in his carry-on items, and applied it on him.He was running a high temperature and had lost consciousness.He needs to get out of here as soon as possible. In such an environment, he is very dangerous.

With this thought in mind, he suddenly felt a little anxious, and Tie Mian took the firework used for communication in the organization and released the signal again, yes, again.As early as when I just woke up at night, the signal had already been let off once at dawn, and it stands to reason that the respondent will be here soon.The beautiful fireworks burn brilliantly in the sky, emitting five colors of light, forming a special pattern, which is still dazzling and eye-catching even though it is daytime.

Walking back into the cave, sitting cross-legged beside him, looking down at the palm-sized pale and delicate cheek, the fingertips seem to still have that touch, that temperature, without a trace of blemish, as smooth as jade Gentle.Tie Mian's eyes shone brightly: "No matter who you are or what purpose you have when you approach me, don't try to pretend to be that person." He raised his eyes and looked to the east. That person should be living a comfortable and wealthy life now. !

Tie Mian rubbed his temples, complaining secretly in his heart, what he was thinking, don't forget that big things are real.Just thinking about the sudden sound not far away, someone is coming, and it is less than 50 meters away. How can I be so distracted that I didn't even notice someone approaching.

Tie Mian quickly grabbed the black iron double-edged thin knife and hid in the shadow behind the stone.Listening attentively, the visitor's footsteps are light, his breathing is steady, and his inner breath has no waves, it can be seen that he is a person with outstanding martial arts.

"Yexuan, there are still footprints and bloodstains here, could it be that the landlord is injured?" A pleasant female voice came out with a slightly worried tone.

"It's not wrong, the signal is sent from here. It should be not far away, cheer up and look carefully." A man and a woman came to both of them, and this person was Ye Xuan.

"You guys are here, I'm here." Tie Mian heard the conversation between the two people, and after confirming that it was his own, he walked out of the dark and spoke.

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, each showing expressions of surprise, the woman even moved quickly to Tie Mian, a little excited, but due to her status, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, she just suppressed her emotions and said: " Landlord, are you alright!"

"Who taught you that you can relax your vigilance so much? Now if it was within the enemy, such unrestricted communication would have been exposed long ago. And it was too late." Tie Mian ignored Ye Ning and said bluntly dissatisfied.

When the two heard the sound, their faces were shocked, and they all knelt on one knee: "The landlord pointed out, the subordinates know, and will never do it again."

"Let's go!" Tie Mian took the lead and walked back to the hidden cave where he hid before, casually removed the chains wrapped around Young Master Liu's waist, and lifted the unconscious Young Master Liu upside down. The mask hides nothing.Slowly exited the cave and took the lead to leave.

Where have these two people seen such a murderous landlord!The landlord actually carried a person himself. Ye Xuan followed Tie Mian since he was a child, and never asked about his master's affairs, only glanced at him, and didn't ask much; Shun stared at the iron face, opened his mouth to speak several times, but did not ask.It wasn't until the four of them boarded the boat and settled down that Ye Ning finally asked what he had been thinking for a long time: "Master, let me take care of this young master!"

Tie Mian looked at the two people squarely, glanced at them with very sharp eyes, and said in an unquestionable voice: "No need. Ye Xuan, this person sent someone to investigate carefully. After he returned, he secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him."

"Yes." Ye Ning got the order and quickly retreated. Only Ye Xuan found a secret place, and kept guarding in the dark as always.

The sun slanted in through the window, warm and comfortable, Mr. Liu squinted his eyes, he didn't want to open his eyes or get up, he felt a faint pain when he moved, and a faint coolness came from his left calf, he got up and lifted the quilt, I saw that the left calf was wrapped in fine white gauze.The memory gradually became clearer. He looked around and saw that there were good-quality mahogany furniture, fresh potted plants in the window, round tables not far away, tea sets, bookshelves and desks beside the screen. The clothes on his body felt cool and smooth. All of them are obvious, the owner of the room has elegant taste and good decoration style.

When the maid came in and saw the person lying on the bed awake, she smiled innocently, put down the tray she was holding, clapped her hands and said loudly, "Master, you are awake. You have been in a coma since I took care of you. , and talking nonsense from time to time, but it worries me."

"Who are you? Is this the Murder Building?" Mr. Liu wanted to get up.

The maid slapped her forehead: "Look at me, I'm so confused, you still don't know anything?" Then she stepped forward to support Mr. Liu and said hurriedly: "My name is Ye Xi, and you can call me Xi'er. You just woke up or not?" Lie down, why don't you drink the medicine first, and I will tell you slowly." He is not used to being dressed up by others, and he is not easy to break away, so he can only lie on the bed to discredit the disheveled maid who takes care of him. Well, he quietly withdrew his hand again.But she was seen by the maid, but she didn't feel shy, she just said bluntly: "Oh, by the way, the landlord has the habit of asking me to ask the young master, saying that the young master will stay here longer, I forgot .” She glanced at the medicine and said in surprise, “It’s getting cold.” She quickly brought it.Mr. Liu looked at her and felt kind, but he was also curious about how there could be such a pure woman in a killer organization, so he took Yiyan and drank it.

Seeing that he drank, Ye Zai breathed a sigh of relief, and then he continued, "This is the guest room in the Shouming Building. I have been in a coma since you and the landlord came back. It's been two days."

"You've been taking care of me?" Although Mr. Liu was unconscious, he could vaguely feel that someone was taking care of him carefully, the hands that wiped his warm body.

Ye Zai smiled: "No, at the beginning, when you got off the boat, the landlord took care of you, personally applied medicine and bandaged your wounds, and later the landlord had something to do, so he called me here."

Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed when he heard the man's name, but he noticed the key point in the words: "On the boat?"

"Yes, you came back by boat. This is the capital of the Shunhui Empire. It is also the headquarters of Suominglou."

Mr. Liu responded indifferently but asked, "When were you in the Duoming Building?"

"You've been here since you were very young? You've always been by the landlord's side just as a maid, what's the matter?" Ye Xie asked confusedly.Mr. Liu just shook his head and smiled: "Can you cook me a soup for health?"

"Of course." Ye Xi nodded happily when he heard that it was something he was familiar with.He hurriedly walked out, and when he was at the door, he didn't forget to turn his head and say: "I'll be right back, I'll be fine soon. Call me if you have something to do, don't get out of bed yet."

Mr. Liu leaned on the bed and sorted out his thoughts. After sleeping for so long, he was very energetic, but he had no energy. He slowly helped the bed out of bed and walked around. He came to the desk in front of the screen, and saw the white paper, inkstone There is no ink in it.Then he slowly returned to the round table in the center of the room, picked up the teacup, and poured himself a cup of tea. Just like this, the wound on his left calf was only a faint pain, and it didn't hinder his movement too much. , It can be seen that the medicines used these days are all good sore medicines.

The sunlight outside the door was slowly covered by shadows, the iron face leaned against the door frame, and snorted coldly, but it startled Mr. Liu, who was in a trance, his hands shook, and the clear water in the teacup spilled out, wet his sleeves , he hid for a few days without eating and his feet were weak, so he went to the ground. He closed his eyes and prepared to accept the coming pain, but he didn't want to fall into a warm embrace.He opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes: "It's really annoying."

Covering his face with iron face and black face, he half hugged him, Xie Mei sneered, and opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Xie's exaggerated surprised voice outside the door, he let go suddenly, turned to look at Ye Xie, but saw Ye Xie He turned his back to the two of them.

He coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "What's this smell?" Ye Zai heard the sound and quietly turned his head to peek at it. When he saw the two separated, he turned around, as if his attention had been diverted, and it was easy to forget what happened just now. He said happily: "This is the body nourishing soup that Mr. Liu asked me to make. Most of it is medicinal materials. It would be bitter to drink, but ice lotus is added in the prescription, which adds a sweet and refreshing taste, which is very refreshing. .And this is lean meat porridge. I thought that the young master should drink something light just after waking up, so I made some. Since the host is here, let's taste it together."

After all, he was very enthusiastic and took care of himself to serve the porridge.After the dishes were finished and placed, they were suddenly shocked again: "Oh no, the water is still boiling in the kitchen pot, I have to go back." He bid farewell and hurried away.

Mr. Liu watched her running like the wind, and was amused: "I never thought that there would be such a maverick existence in the famous killer organization. It's very different."

Leng Xuanren took a sip of the nourishing soup, and it really tasted sweet and refreshing. He nodded, his eyes brightened with warmth: "If there is no one like her in this place, how lifeless it would be." Ah. You’re right, she’s the only one in the whole Desperate Building. Simple and cute, this kind of character is easy to get close to. After adjusting such a boring life, she’s not suitable for being an assassin. So since she was a child I put her in the building to take care of my food and daily life. Fortunately, she has been devoting herself to the catering business, living in her own small world, and living happily. Only such a person can live such a wonderful life in such a place. "The tone changed: "Your health nourishing soup is good. I'm afraid I don't have much time these days, so you can rest at ease." He put down the medicinal soup in his hand and got up to leave.

"Thank you." Mr. Liu lowered his head softly. He heard his footsteps but did not pause. He walked all the way to the door, and when Mr. Liu could no longer hear him, he replied in a strange manner, "You're welcome." After speaking, he mocked Smiled to myself.
