[Comprehensive] Flowers are blooming

Hua Ruoming is a clever ghost, holding a candy figure would not even shake hands with Lu Xiaofeng, so she pouted and lay on Huamanlou's shoulder, looking around at the lively crowd with a pair of beady eyes, full of curiosity and enthusiasm. excited.Lu Xiaofeng was very frustrated that he couldn't handle a four-year-old child. It turns out that there are people who don't like Lu Xiaofeng.

There are quite a lot of people on the street, and if you walk in, there are already crowds of people. Hua Manlou hugs Hua Ruoming tightly, for fear that people passing by will bump into the child.

"Uncle Qi, my brothers and sisters don't play with me, because they think I'm young."

Hearing the kid's complaint, Lu Xiaofeng answered, "You must be too talkative and not cute, that's why they don't play with you, am I right?"

"Wow!" For some reason, Hua Ruoming suddenly burst into tears, her limp body twitched, Hua Manlou froze for a moment, then quickly coaxed her softly, and in her panic, she still did not forget to glance at Lu Xiaofeng.Although Huamanlou is destined for children, it doesn't mean he can deal with crying children.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what to do, so he coaxed Hua Ruoming.

"Ming'er doesn't cry, what's wrong? Did someone hit you?" Hua Manlou walked towards a place where there were few people, and unexpectedly walked to the riverside.

Hua Ruoming was out of breath from crying, and replied in a choked voice: "Uncle Qi, there was a grimace just now, Ming'er was afraid, wow! It's so scary, scary..."

The two of Lu Hua looked at each other, they could only helplessly.Children are really cute when they are painful, but they are such a headache that they don't know how to deal with them.Fortunately, it was just scaring them with grimaces. If they bumped into each other, the two of them would have committed a serious crime.

"Flowers Manlou, listen."

The sound of firecrackers sounded in my ears in an instant, one after another, as if I was competing whose firecrackers were louder.The flames and smoke filled Lu Xiaofeng's eyes as he stared at Hua Manlou from an arm's length away. For some reason, his heart suddenly felt warm, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.

Listening to the loud sound of firecrackers, Hua Manlou smiled and asked, "Lu Xiaofeng, haven't you watched the New Year with me for a few years?"

Lu Xiaofeng tilted his head and thought for a while.Last year, he drank alone outside the Great Wall. The year before, he fell drunk in the arms of some beauty. The year before that, he seemed to be avoiding hunting.Thinking forward year by year, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that in the past few years, if it wasn't for begging for a drink or being bored, he never seemed to appear by Huamanlou's side.

"The building is full of flowers—"

"Shh, she's asleep." Hua Manlou heard Hua Ruoming's shallow breathing, but didn't move, knew that she was asleep, and interrupted Lu Xiaofeng's words.Hua Ruoming must have been very sleepy just now, frightened by that grimace, cried for a while, lay in his arms, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Lu Xiaofeng was silent and didn't speak, but he never took his eyes off Huamanlou's face.

This person's tenderness is not exclusive to him.Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that Huamanlou is gentle to everything, flowers, plants, trees, old and weak, women and children, as gentle as a ray of wind in a spring day in March, the slight concern never makes you feel too involved.

"what happened?"

"Go back, it's cold by the river, children are easy to catch cold." After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaofeng took Hua Ruoming from Huamanlou's hand, wrapped Hua Ruoming in his cloak, and glanced at the surprised Huaman with gentle eyes. Lou, explained: "You hugged her for almost an hour, isn't your arm sore?"

Listening to Lu Xiaofeng's serious expression, Huamanlou couldn't help shaking his head and laughing lowly.In fact, it's not that Huamanlou doesn't know how to be considerate, it's just that few people make him considerate, and most of the time, others are accommodating him.

Smiling and nodding to Lu Xiaofeng, closed the folding fan, tightened the cloak around his body, and walked to Huafu side by side with Lu Xiaofeng.

The three of them returned to Huafu with Xue, and ordered Hua Ruoming to be sent to Huamanlou's six Huamanting rooms. Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng returned to Huamanlou's room.

After closing the door to block the cold outside, Lu Xiaofeng took off his cloak and hung it aside, when he turned his head, he saw that there were still a few flakes of snow on Huamanlou's head, his mind froze, he subconsciously approached Huamanlou, and stretched out his hand to help him They noticed the snowflakes on their heads, and when they realized it, both of them were taken aback.

"The building is full of flowers."

"Ok?"

"You—I, I want to say..." Lu Xiaofeng faltered, and finally choked out a sentence: "What did that Li Xunhuan quietly tell you that day?"

"There will be a period later."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Lu Xiaofeng curled his lips, knowing that there must be more than that, but Hua Manlou didn't want to talk about it, and he wouldn't force him to ask, but there was a lump in his heart.The angry Lu Xiaofeng was sitting at the table sullenly, thinking about how to turn around Huamanlou, when a clean hand appeared in front of him, holding a teacup with pretty fingers.

"Drink some hot tea to drive away the cold air. It's inevitable that you will be cold when you come back from the outside." Hua Manlou didn't ignore Lu Xiaofeng just now, but just poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them after putting down the cloak.

Knowing that he had made a little awkwardness, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard to hide his guilty conscience, holding a teacup, he looked at Huamanlou openly and aboveboard.

Being stared at by Lu Xiaofeng like this, the temperature on Huamanlou's face began to heat up at some point, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn around, untie the belt of his outer robe, and planned to fall asleep.It's already late at night, tomorrow's New Year's Day, there must be many visitors at home, plus the father's old friend, I don't know...

Hua Manlou, who was distracted, didn't notice Lu Xiaofeng's eyes behind him at all.Lu Xiaofeng stared at Huamanlou whose outer robe had faded to the waist, and stared straight at the waist, which was thinner than the average man, and the straight back. Outlines the waist.

Lu Xiaofeng swallowed, his Adam's apple slipped, and he was stupefied, he stepped forward and hugged Hua Manlou from behind, buried his head in his stamina, took a deep breath and said, "Hua Manlou, you know that, right?"

"Ah."

"You understand what I said, don't you?"

"Yes." Hua Manlou did not evade Lu Xiaofeng's question, but Hua Manlou also understood that in Lu Xiaofeng's world, friends may be more important than anything else.Lu Xiaofeng is a phoenix, now the sky is high and the sea is wide enough to let him come and go, how can he live in the Baihua Building, maybe he can live in a day for a year, but for a lifetime of ten years...

The two just stood like this, Lu Xiaofeng finally raised his head from Huamanlou's hair, looked at Huamanlou helplessly, and said, "Go to Ximen tomorrow to ask for a drink."

Hua Manlou was startled, then nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, all members of the Hua family gathered in the living room to have breakfast, several dolls were waiting for their own table, and a table for the female relatives. They were chatting happily, a person from outside the door rushed in and whispered a few words in Hua Ruling's ear, only to see Hua Ruling's expression changed drastically.

"Go and bring people in!"

After a while, Uncle Hua led a young woman in. Her hair was disheveled, her face was stained with blood, and her clothes were torn in several places. She was very miserable.

"This is?"

As soon as the woman saw the Hua family enjoying themselves happily, her eyes turned red and she fell to her knees with a thump, with tears overflowing from her eyes, she said miserably: "Uncle Hua, please, please save my parents!"

"Could it be?" Hua Ruling was startled when she saw that this girl was somewhat similar to her old friend, and quickly asked Uncle Hua to help her up, and asked, "Are you Li Tong's daughter, Li Wan'er?"

Li Wan'er nodded with tears in her eyes and said: "My parents and I met a group of gangsters on the way here. My parents protected me and let me leave from the path. The guards and my parents were still fighting with those people. I, I asked all the way here, but my father and my mother... Uncle Hua—"

"Take the guards at home and follow this girl to save people!"

"Father, let me go, since it's aimed at Uncle Li, but it's on the way to Huafu, the boy is worried about fraud, the brothers should stay at home to protect their wives and children, I will go with Lu Xiaofeng. "Hua Manlou didn't wait for the others to say anything, so he opened his mouth first to accept the matter.

Lu Xiaofeng also said: "Uncle Hua, leave this matter to me and Brother Hua."

Li Wan'er nodded gratefully at the two of them, ignoring the tattered clothes on her body, she raised her feet and prepared to go out, leading the way for the two of them.Seeing Hua Manlou raised his hand, Lu Xiaofeng knew his intentions, immediately took off the cloak on his body, handed it to Li Wan'er, and said, "Miss Li, it's cold outside, don't you mind?"

"Thank you." Li Wan'er blushed, took the cloak, and put it on in a hurry.

Lu Xiaofeng took Li Wan'er on the same horse, Hua Manlou followed beside them, and the guards of Hua's family followed behind the three of them, galloping quickly to the location Li Wan'er said.Saving people is like putting out a fire. If you are one step late, those people may have already left, and by then——

Thinking of this, both of Lu Hua accelerated their speed.

Coming to the place Li Wan'er mentioned, Lu Xiaofeng frowned, looked at Hua Manlou beside him, and also frowned.The smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood, the white snow on the grass in front of my eyes was stained crimson with blood, the contents of the two carriages were looted, and several corpses were lying here and there on the ground.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Li Wan'er couldn't help shaking, got off the horse with Lu Xiaofeng's support, stumbled and ran to the two corpses next to the carriage and knelt down, ignoring the blood stains, lying on the corpses and crying loudly .

Seeing Li Wan'er like this, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou knew that the two corpses on the ground were probably Li Tong and his wife.

The snow was wet and cold, Hua Manlou went up to help Li Wan'er up and said: "Miss Li, my condolences are changing." Li Wan'er cried until her eyes turned red, and tears fell down in big drops. Hearing Hua Manlou's comfort, Unable to bear it, she threw herself into Huamanlou's arms and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng signaled to the guards of the Hua family to drag the corpses on the ground to one place and put the bodies of Li Tong and his wife on the horses. Seeing Hua Manlou turned to look at him, Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said to the Hua family guards: "Remove all the wine hanging immediately, and get another torch."

In the world of ice and snow, it is probably impossible to get firewood, so we can only dispose of the corpse quickly to avoid exposing the corpse. The wilderness guard followed Lu Xiaofeng's instructions. After finishing everything, Lu Xiaofeng poured all the wine on the corpse, took Passed the torch and threw it over.

In the silver-white snow, a coquettish fire was ignited.

"Let's go back."

"Miss Li, your father's burial still needs to be buried, and the condolences will be changed. Don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death." Hua Manlou comforted: "We will bring the corpse back to Hua's family. The funeral is for the girl alone. If there is a need, Hua place, just open your mouth."

Lu Xiaofeng helped Li Wan'er onto the horse from Hua Manlou, and then got on the horse himself, with no expression on his face, he patted the horse and went back the way he had just come.Huamanlou didn't know what Lu Xiaofeng was up to, so he could only sigh slightly, and followed, the flames behind him dyed the sky red.

Back at Hua Mansion, Hua Ruling saw the two corpses on horseback, immediately knew that Li Tong had been killed, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Li has been kind all his life, how could he provoke such a vicious enemy?" Said Seeing that Li Wan'er was out of her wits, she comforted her: "Wan'er is alone now, why don't you stay in the mansion temporarily, and it won't be too late to go back after finding out who the murderer is, besides, you are the only one who needs to help with Brother Li's funeral. "

Li Wan'er finally came to her senses, knelt down on the ground, raised her hand to look at Hua Ruling and said, "Wan'er is very grateful to Uncle Hua for taking her in. Wan'er will definitely kill the enemy with her own hands! Avenge my parents, and prevent them from hating Jiuquan." After thinking for a while, he said: "It's the first day of the new year, Wan'er dare not disturb her, I just hope that my uncle can borrow some people to go home with Wan'er to take care of the parents' funeral."

Before Hua Ruling decided who to let go, Hua Manlou said, "Father, let me go, the elder brothers have wives and children to take care of, and they will go back to take care of the family business soon." Thinking of the abnormality when examining the corpse yesterday, I was worried that it was not an ordinary robber, and didn't want the Hua family to be involved.

"That's fine." Seeing that Hua Manlou was so concerned about Li Wan'er's affairs, Hua Ruling couldn't help but stroked his beard, but he misunderstood Hua Manlou's intentions.

"Thank you, Playboy."

Made a decision, in order not to delay the time, decided to leave early the next morning to go back.

It was getting light, and a group of people rode on the road.Li Wan'er was dressed in white filial piety clothes, riding in the front on horseback, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng followed her, and looked back at the two dark coffins behind her from time to time, feeling sorry for Li Wan'er who lost her parents when she was only 16 years old. I heard that Li Wan'er Several of my elder brothers are not at home.

After a day's journey, he finally returned to Li's Mansion after nightfall.The housekeeper at the door saw his young lady in filial piety, followed by two coffins, ran up to Li Wan'er in shock, and asked, "Miss, this is—where are the master and madam?"

"Uncle Zhang, father and mother, are dead..." After Li Wan'er got off the horse, seeing Uncle Zhang who had watched her grow up, her eyes immediately turned red, and she murmured, "Dad, mother, are dead."

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou couldn't bear it, and ordered the guards who came with them to carry the coffin in.Lu Xiaofeng stood beside Huamanlou, seeing Li Wan'er and Zhang Bo in front of him, said in a low voice: "Yesterday was not an ordinary robbery. I checked the wounds, and I'm an expert."

"Killer."

"A professionally trained killer."
