smile to heart

======================

In the back mountain of Changting, the flower forest is quiet.After returning from fetching water from the ancient well, Qi Zhong saw that there were already a lot of handwritten scriptures piled up on the ice table, counting the time, he had indeed not been out of the back mountain for more than ten days.After thinking about it for a while, he decided to borrow the scriptures for Qi Yuxing to check, and go to Qianshan Shimen, and learn about the current situation in Tongjiang by the way. Although future disasters are inevitable, he is still reluctant to part with the current prosperity. want to see more.

Just as he was about to go out, a disciple who was unfamiliar with him blocked his way and brought him some food.

"Junior Brother Qi, where are you going?"

After paying respects to the etiquette, Qi Zhong replied politely: "I'll hand over the scriptures to Master."

"Ah, then I'll pay it for you. You don't need to travel too much, and continue to meditate in the back mountain."

The disciple of the same school hurriedly snatched the paper in his hand and said hastily.

Qi Zhong couldn't figure it out, and said strangely: "You are too kind. But why did you come to this back mountain?"

In my impression, only disciples who have made mistakes will be driven here, facing the wall and thinking about their mistakes.Of course, I am a regular visitor here.

That disciple laughed again and said, "Yes, Master Lin asked me to supervise you."

"Ha!" Qi Zhong rolled his eyes slightly, and said in his heart, this old man Lin really knows how to hold grudges, it has been so long since Jiugai Mountain's limelight, and he still wants to punish him.

"Junior Brother Qi, go to Qinghan Cave and think about it, otherwise I won't be able to go back to work. By the way, here are some snacks for you."

"Thank you." Qi Zhong lazily returned to the cave, not wanting to embarrass others.

As soon as he entered, there was a sound of locking the door behind his feet.Qi Zhong turned around in surprise, pushed the stone door hard, and shouted: "Hey, why did you lock the door? I'm going to go out to practice swords later."

"Strange. It's fine. I haven't done anything wrong. Why are you shutting me down so severely?"

After a long while no one responded, Qi Zhong sat back at the ice table, spinning the brush in his hand boredly, a little unhappy.

He couldn't understand how angry Lin Tang was. He had no choice but to accept this move, thinking that tomorrow when Master Lin's anger subsided, he would be able to go out.

Turning around the pen, Qi Zhong felt a wave of longing, and recalled the figure of someone facing the river. The scene of the first meeting at Qingqiao has already become the deepest memory in his heart. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile, Lifting the pen and dropping the paper, I drew an outline of memory.

In the dead and dark dungeon, a blue shadow sat behind the lamp, even if it was stained with dust, it couldn't hide its purity.

At this time, the heavy cell door was slowly opened, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer.Mu Yun closed his eyes, fearlessly, and waited for the person coming.

In the dark and damp corridor, the blood-red skirt was rippling like waves. Every step she took, it seemed like a bloody manjusawa bloomed from the ground.

The owner in red finally stopped in front of him, Mu Yun calmly turned around, looked at Fang Yanxiao outside the iron fence, and relaxed his expression.

She pursed her red lips, raised her hand, and ordered coldly, "Open the door and go out. Don't come in without my order. I will interrogate myself."

"Yes, Envoy Fang Yue." The jailer standing aside quickly opened the lock.

In the empty cell, apart from the surprisingly loud sound of water droplets in the dark, the rest of the sound was the tacit heartbeat of the two.

Fang Yanxiao carried the food basket, walked slowly into the door, walked to the dilapidated wooden table, carefully put the dishes away, and put some wound medicines aside.

From the corner of the eye, he looked at Mu Yun's condition, and there was nothing serious, it should be just some skin trauma.He couldn't help but feel relieved, and lamented that Luo Qingchen still knew a little bit of morality, and didn't embarrass him too much.

Fang Yanxiao raised her head, crossed her hands, stood upright beside her, and said calmly, "Young Master Yun, let's eat."

Mu Yun got up slowly, straightened his clothes, and returned a bow sincerely: "Thank you."

Fang Yanxiao was a little surprised on her face, she turned her eyes away to conceal the slight unnatural feeling, and her voice was softer: "No need."

She wanted to ask, "Aren't you afraid that I might poison the food?", but when she saw Mu Yunduan sitting down, pouring a glass of wine seriously, and drinking it calmly, she realized that this question was really stupid. So it stopped in the throat.

Mu Yun put down his wine glass slowly, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and waited for her silence without moving his chopsticks.

For a while, Fang Yanxiao didn't know what the purpose of her coming here was, maybe it was just a meal, to thank him for not telling her identity, and also to thank him for his tolerance and care for Qi Zhong.

Her love and compassion made it difficult for her to move.

Sighing lightly, Fang Yanxiao turned around and went out: "Eat slowly, I won't bother you anymore."

"and many more."

A warm sun suddenly came in from outside the window, and it shone gently on Mu Yun's white fingers. He stroked the warmth, and called Fang Yanxiao by the way.

"Miss Fang, there are a few words I want to ask you."

Fang Yanxiao's eyes sank, her tone was dull: "What are you talking about?"

Mu Yun fixed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, as gentle and compassionate as a Bodhisattva: "I want to ask, what kind of difficulties make you so embarrassed?"

"What, what?"

Pupils shrank nervously, and Fang Yanxiao's voice trembled slightly.

Looking at her dodging gaze, Mu Yun sighed, "If Miss Fang doesn't want to answer this question, forgive me for being abrupt."

Fang Yanxiao lowered her head and touched the bright Kodan on her nails, and said casually: "I have no reason. You are too self-righteous to try to figure out a person's mind while you are in a prison."

"Kindness is the deadliest threat to a killer." Mu Yun retorted sharply.

"Miss Fang, do you still remember that time in Tianxinyuan? Miss Min has been targeting you all the time, but in times of danger, you still extended a helping hand to her..."

"When we first fought against each other, you already had the upper hand, but for the life of a cat, you deliberately plotted..."

"There is also the disgust in your eyes and the disgust of killing during the sacrificial ceremony in Liuxi Town... including the monk murder case you committed in Shangjiang. Although the dead and injured were not heinous people, they were by no means kind... Miss Fang must be clear about this point."

Listening to all the past events he listed, Fang Yanxiao's expression was solemn, her eyes became hollow, and tears of self-pity appeared.

She raised her eyes mockingly, and said with a sneer, "What do you want to say? Do you think I am kind-hearted and have a good conscience?"

Mu Yun restrained the sympathy in his eyes, and turned to admiration: "These are not in line with your identity, they are endowed by your clean heart."

Such a resolute conclusion caused waves in Fang Yanxiao's heart under Fang Yanxiao's calm surface.

For a moment, she stopped breathing.But he blinked hastily, finally calmed down, and mocked indifferently: "Absurd."

"Your inference is ridiculous. If I hadn't behaved like that at the beginning, how could I have made you believe me without reservation?"

Mu Yun lowered his eyelashes, a faint shadow appeared under the light, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Fang Yanxiao looked directly at his tranquility, and felt a sense of self-deception and disobedience welling up in her heart.

After a long time, she simply admitted it, and said weakly: "You asked me just now, can I ask back now?"

Mu Yun smiled and nodded.

"At the beginning, you should have suspected me more than once, and even had a way to design my appearance, but why didn't you expose it?"

Fang Yanxiao knew that Mu Yun had seen through her clumsy tricks from the very beginning, but after the battle on the roof, she never targeted her again.

"No need." He replied easily.

"Why, why?" Fang Yanxiao was unwilling to dig to the bottom.

"There is a huge difference between intentionally harming others and treating others sincerely. Besides..."

Halfway through his words, his eyes darkened a bit.

"And what?"

"He believes in you. This is clearly what you have always wanted, so why would you be willing to destroy it yourself?"

Suddenly, a warm current flowed through her heart, and it turned out that someone understood her difficulties.Fang Yanxiao even felt that her footsteps were flimsy, and she almost lost her footing.The kind of trustworthy understanding and the heartache that pokes at the heart made her eyes blush.

She raised her head and closed her eyes, clenched her palms tightly, took several deep breaths on the spot, and then slowly turned around, looking at Mu Yun's profile with admiration.

The various joys after the reunion of the siblings are precious memories in her life.

After calming down, Fang Yanxiao secretly made up her mind and asked him seriously: "Do you want to go out?"

Mu Yun looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the skylight, sighed helplessly in his heart, closed his eyes and shook his head, faintly disappointed: "No one would want me to go out."

If he survives, he will attract ambitious people from Shangjiang to seize the position of immortal venerable, and first fight and split.

"That's good. I hope you will always be rotten in your heart for the conversation between us today. Especially him, you must never know!"

There was no reaction to Mu Yun's agreement or repentance at all, Fang Yanxiao said the last sentence forcefully, and left in a hurry.

The cell door was quickly locked again.

The food on the table was almost completely cold.

Mu Yun slowly raised the bowl and chopsticks, ready to eat, when a thin Sanhua came out from nowhere in the corner, timidly looking at the meat and vegetables on his plate, salivating yet timidly.

Mu Yun gave it a plate and vegetables, and then sat far away, expressing his sincerity that he would not hurt it.

The cat blinked, but did not dare to approach him, and shook its head to express its gratitude.Just started to gobble up a meal.

In Fufeng mountain stream, next to a pine forest and clear pool, there is a secluded small building in the mountain. It is quiet and quiet, and it is a place for Mu's parents to retreat and retreat.

At this moment, the wind is bleak and the mountains are foggy.A sad figure cheered up, walked outside the building, and flew a last letter upstairs, waiting to be sent.

After a while, fragments of the letter floated back from the window and landed on Mu Xi's shoulder lightly.

His face was slightly stiff, and he quickly said respectfully: "Uncle, calm down. It was because I failed to help Jingyao that I let him..."

The people in the building, who lost their son in old age, were very sad and angry: "Mu Xi! Have you forgotten how the Mu family took you in and promoted you to the status you have today? You can't be a fairy, so you rely on Do you persecute your cousin in this way?"

"No, it's not. I don't have one." Mu Xi knelt down in panic, the pain in her heart was hard to add.

Old Mu said without hesitation: "Then why didn't you persuade him?"

"Xiaoyun...Jingyao hurried to Kuocang Mountain without meeting me. I have no chance to persuade you..."

"Nonsense!" Mu Lao was furious in the building, slapped the table and said, "I don't care what method you use, rescue Mu Yun, save him back, and continue to inherit the position of the immortal! This is all the glory of the Mu family, you must do it .”

"I've already asked the Immortal Venerable to come forward and pay attention to this matter, but...he is in seclusion again." Mu Xi replied powerlessly.

Mr. Mu didn't understand, and said cruelly: "Hmph, how can outsiders do their best? It seems that you really hope that Mu Yun will never come back, don't you?"

"No!"

"Listen, Mu Xi, if Mu Yun has anything good or bad, get the hell out of the Mu family! You are never allowed to come back! I told you since I was a child, don't covet a single cent of him... Now it seems that he is really raised A white-eyed wolf."

"Uncle... how can you say such heartbreaking words?"

All kinds of blows are not as painful as the pain at this moment, Mu Xi can only feel the buzzing in his ears, and the sad grievances have turned into boundless despair, making him unable to see the light in front of him.

He has always been steady, but at some point, he left in a daze.When he returned to Mu's house, the table was full of books and documents. He used to take these things for granted, after all, his kindness is as heavy as a mountain, but now he only feels irony in his eyes, eh!It was as heavy as a mountain...and he couldn't breathe.

Just when he was sad, a flying letter flashed in front of his eyes. Mu Xi took the paper and looked at it carefully, and found that it was Luo Qingchen's reply.

When I opened it, there were only two lines: "People are not dead. I can't."

"Cough cough cough..."

Mu Xi was so angry that his pulse surged up. After the dry cough, there was a trace of blood in his throat. He suppressed it secretly, and then started to save people with his usual expression.
