Broken Wings

Zhou Pu, the housekeeper of the "Young Master", came over with a green cloth package, "Young Master, you should leave this place as soon as possible."

Su Zimo remained motionless, "Zhou Pu, Pei Qingming is dead."

"Yes" Zhou Pu bowed his head and said, "The general is dead." After a short pause, "The general can no longer protect the young master, so the young master should leave as soon as possible."

"Hmm," Su Zimo responded lightly, and followed Zhou Pu to the back door.

Zhou Pu stood on the door and bowed to Su Zimo, saying, "Your Majesty, please take care of me" and closed the door with a sigh.

Su Zimo was at a loss, and even felt that this sudden release came too suddenly, everything was too fast, he was not ready yet, and he had already returned outside the high wall.

become free.He heard a voice slowly ringing in his heart, the soft tone was like the scattered mist, light and ethereal.

"Oh, isn't this the legendary Second Young Master Su?" His tone was full of teasing and a little bit of anger.

Su Zimo followed the sound, and there was a man squatting on the low dirt wall in front of him, holding a long sword with a black scabbard in one hand, and pounding the wall vigorously, spreading a cloud of dust, but the man didn't notice, his eyes squinted at him, A grin stretched behind his ears.

"This wall is shaking, a little..." Su Zimo kindly reminded, before the word "not strong" fell to the ground, the person squatting on the wall fell to the ground with a bang.

Su Zimo covered his mouth and nose with his cuff, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile. Although he was a bit embarrassed, he was handsome, but the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Su Zimo squatted down and stared Looking at the unhappy man on the ground, "Excuse me, who is your Excellency?"

"Me?" Startled slightly, "My surname is Xiao, others call me Uncle Xiao." Xiao Wenlin stretched his arms and sat on the ground shaking the dust from his cuffs. "I heard that Pei Qingming died, and I came here on purpose Let's see if Duoyi has taken General Pei's heart away." He glanced at Su Zimo lightly, "It seems that I came at a good time."

After listening to Uncle Xiao's babbling, Su Zimo already had some clarity in his heart. Presumably the person in front of him should be Xiao Wenlin, the young lord who Pei Qingming mentioned to him in the Guhuan Tower, but seeing Xiao Wenlin's appearance, Su Zimo couldn't connect him with Gu Huanlou. If Pei Qingming hadn't mentioned him earlier, Su Zimo might just think that Xiao Wenlin was a fake.

"Are you the young master of Guhuan Tower?" Su Zimo asked uncertainly, "Xiao Wenlin?"

"It's my uncle." Xiao Wenlin stood up, bent over and slapped the dust on the hem of his robe, "Eh? You know me?" After thinking for a while, he snorted coldly with disdain, "It must be that bastard Pei Qingming who betrayed me again." "It's gone" but suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "What do I care about with the dead, it's boring" After a moment of silence, he turned his head and glanced at Su Zimo, "Okay, Miss Su, follow me Let's go" After finishing speaking, he really lifted his legs and left.

Su Zimo followed behind Xiao Wenlin in dismay, always feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember exactly what he had forgotten.

Xiao Wenlin planned to take Su Zimo out of Jinlin first, because Su Zimo's appearance was too feminine, Xiao Wenlin was afraid of causing unnecessary disasters, so he found a face towel to cover his appearance.

However, Xiao Wenlin didn't expect that there was a portrait posted on the city gate, and the person on it was clearly Su Zimo.

"Hey, Miss Su, it seems that it's a little troublesome for you to leave." Xiao Wenlin smiled carelessly, and changed the sword in his hand, "Stay here and don't move around, my uncle went over to find out "

Xiao Wenlin stood by the city gate, with his hands between his brows, looking at the portrait on the wall. The portrait was undoubtedly Su Zimo, but the name was Ji Peiqin. Although Xiao Wenlin came from Jianghu, he was more or less With some brains, although he couldn't predict who was embarrassing Su Zimo secretly, but he moved quickly, and guessed that the people behind the back should be very powerful. Still difficult.

Su Zimo really didn't know who was looking for him. Seeing Xiao Wenlin standing by the city gate for a long time, he also thought about pretending to be a beggar to get there. Unexpectedly, the city gate is very strict, but all beggars are welcome. You have to put it in a large vat next to the city gate, wash it clean, and then let it go after seeing its appearance clearly.

What a thoughtful thought!Su Zimo gasped and sat on the ground next to the corner of the wall.

A shadow fell on the head of the pocket, Su Zimo raised his eyes to see Xiao Wenlin's half-smile, and kicked him, "Master Xiao, what should we do next?"

Xiao Wenlin felt very comfortable being called by Su Zimo, Uncle Xiao, and reached out to pat Su Zimo's shoulder, "With you, Uncle Xiao, here, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Wenlin pulled Su Zimo up, Yu Guangli Glancing at the city gate, although there is nothing right now, he can't tell how many plots have been inserted behind the scenes, but he clearly knows that Su Zimo is a real disaster at this time. He must be able to hide as far as he can, but thinking about Pei Qingming, Xiao Wenlin endured it again. Since he promised Pei Qingming to protect Su Zimo, how could he break his promise to a dead man.

Since someone was thinking about Su Zimo, it would be useless for Su Zimo to have wings. If he could not advance, he could only retreat.

To the south of Jinlin and to the west of Ziji Mountain, there is a village called Bamu Village. There are two hundred families living here and there, and the total number of people is only more than 300.

It was Xiaonian when Xiao Wenlin and Su Zimo arrived at Bamu Village that day.The village is full of festive joy.

The arrival of Su Zimo made Bamu Village lively.They had never seen a man in noble clothes and light veil like him.Xiao Wenlin always stood aside, looking into the distance with clear eyes.

Su Zimo knew that Xiao Wenlin had something on his mind, and after returning from the entrance of Jinlin City, he obviously felt that Xiao Wenlin's mind had become a little bit more serious, always frowning, sitting alone on the tree and thinking.

Xiao Wenlin and Su Zimo live in Xiaohua's home.Xiaohua's family members are very kind. They knew Su Zimo couldn't do rough work when they saw his clothes, so they didn't ask him to do anything. They just let him play with Xiaohua's three-year-old brother.Xiao Wenlin is a martial artist, so he took care of chopping firewood for the whole family.

Xiaohua's younger brother is Xiaobai, a cute and clever little ghost, who always likes to be by Su Zimo's side and listen to his stories. Su Zimo usually takes Xiaobai or the village children to roam around in the forest and mountains. , life is plain but fulfilling, carefree and comfortable.

In the ninth year of Renfeng in Baili Kingdom, during the Ching Ming Festival, the drizzle began to fall, the apricot blossoms bloomed unexpectedly, and the willow colors were like smoke.

For the tenth time, Su Zimo couldn't bear Xiao Bai's pitiful request, and took him to the mountains to pick wild flowers for his sister.

Su Zimo stood under a tree beside the forest, rolled up his sleeves, looked up at the clouds in the sky, gathering and spreading.

Ever since Xiao Wenlin was urged to go back to the Guhuan Building by his father's three letters one month ago, he has always had a feeling that there are pairs of eyes staring at him all the time, watching him silently. Many nights, he dreamed that Pei Qingming came back to life and chased him to take him away.

When Xiao Wenlin left, he repeatedly told him not to waste the self-defense swordsmanship he taught, and to avoid walking around the village to attract others' attention.He also kept it in mind all the time and didn't dare to relax even for a moment. However, when Xiao Wenlin left that day, he said he would be back in half a month, but he didn't want to hear from Xiao Wenlin when he left.

Su Zimo lived in fear and anxiety for many days, but he became quiet unconsciously, guarding this leisure, but also living freely.

Xiaobai came over and pulled the corner of his clothes with his dirty hands, "Brother Zimo, help Xiaobai fold almond blossoms." Xiaobai looked at him with big black eyes and rubbed his arm coquettishly, "Xiaobai wants that branch biggest"

Su Zimo came back to his senses, amused the tip of Xiaobai's nose, and said angrily, "Could it be possible that brother Zimo should carry the whole tree back for you?"

"Brother can carry it?" Xiaobai tilted his head and pouted, "If brother can bear it, Xiaobai will."

"little villain"

As he spoke, he walked to an apricot tree in the mountain, reached out and broke a half-opened apricot branch, and handed it to Xiaobai. Xiaobai held the apricot branch under his nose and sniffed it, "What brother breaks is the fragrance."

Xiaobai came over and hugged Su Zimo's arm, looking at him clearly, "Why is brother covering his face? Isn't it good-looking?"

Xiaohua also asked him, but Su Zimo just said, "When I was young, I was careless and ruined my face, so I can't show it." These words are good for those who are sensible, but Xiaobai is still young, so I always ask him when I think of it. , Always ask several times a day.

Su Zimo hugged Xiaobai with a smile, and gently stroked his head, but "Xiaobai is good" but didn't say anything.

How many people have lost their lives because of their appearance, and he, hasn't he also struggled hard.

Su Zimo hugged Xiaobai and walked back slowly. Halfway, he met Xiaohua who was looking for them.

"Brother Zimo" Xiaohua ran up to Su Zimo, panting, crossed her hips, took a few breaths, and said intermittently, "There are a lot of people in the village who seem to be looking for you."

Su Zimo's eyes froze for a moment, and he smiled calmly, "Leave Xiaobai to you, and I'm leaving." Su Zimo carefully handed the sleeping Xiaobai into Xiaohua's arms.

Xiao Wenlin never returned, could it be Xiao Wenlin who came?Although Su Zimo and Xiao Wenlin didn't know each other very well, after getting along these days, Su Zimo also felt some of Xiao Wenlin's temper. On the pomp, remembering what Pei Qingming had said about him, a familiar yet unfamiliar name suddenly popped up in Su Zimo's mind, Duo 渃.

Duo 渃.Su Zimo couldn't help shaking. Pei Qingming's sternness and prudence when he talked about Duobao that day still made him remember deeply, and he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, so he pulled away and left.

"Brother Zimo" Xiaohua stopped him, and said in a distressed way, "You should go back and have a look, if you don't go back, the villagers will probably die."

Su Zimo frowned, thinking that Xiaohua was probably sent by Duo to look for him.

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.Su Zimo sighed, took Xiaobai into Xiaohua's arms, gently stroked Xiaobai's head, and looked into the distance empty-handedly, "Go back."

In front of a simple thatched hut, an elegant man was sitting in a green bamboo chair, holding a green jade cup in his hand, resting his chin in one hand casually, looking at the gate of the courtyard.

Many people, young and old, from the village gathered in the yard, their pure and kind eyes were full of anxiety, and they looked quietly into the distance.

Su Zimo walked in slowly with Xiaobai in his arms, and saw a person slowly raised his head and smiled at him.

"Zimo" Duo looked up at Su Zimo with a gentle smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A few days ago, Duo Ji got the news that Su Zimo came here, so he came here to look for him. Now, seeing Su Zimo again, Duo Ji felt that Su Zimo was much more free and easy than before.

Su Zimo hugged Xiaobai and looked at Duomomomo. He vaguely remembered that this person was the prince who went to Pei's mansion that day, but he didn't know that this person was Duobo whom Pei Qingming kept telling him to guard against. There is no doubt about it.

Duoji stood up slowly, still smiling gently at Su Zimo, "Zimo, why are you hiding?"

Su Zimo vaguely remembered that Pei Qingming once told him very seriously that Duo Mo was a prince who was extremely interested in men, and that a man who fell into his hands would peel off his skin even if he did not die, let alone his dignity.

At that time, Pei Qingming laughed at him on purpose, "With your temperament, you will lose your temper in three days." Thinking of this, Su Zimo couldn't help sweating the palms of his hands, and glanced at Duo's face. With a warm smile, he walked in, but when he passed by Duo's side, he grabbed his arm with one hand.

Su Zimo said quietly, "Let go"

Duo let go of his hand, "Zimo, Qingming is dead, I should take care of you for him"

"Oh" Su Zimo lowered his eyes and remained silent. Pei Qingming repeatedly told him to let him escape from Jinlin as far as possible, but halfway through, a prince popped up, saying that he would take care of him on behalf of Pei Qingming?Su Zimo felt that these things were far more complicated than he thought, so he glanced at Duomo calmly, "Really?" A sneer flashed in his eyes, "He deserved Pei Qingming's death, you should replace him Take care of me, how?"

"Pei Qingming is dead, isn't it what you want?" Duo Mo smiled silently, "I'm just fulfilling some of the promises I made at the beginning." Veil, "A good face, why cover it"
