knife cut mountains and rivers

After the conversation in the bell tower, the relationship between Fucheng and Zhou Xuanyi reached a freezing point, and even Jinling felt that they were unusual.Fucheng used to run to the ruined temple every day, quarreling with Zhou Xuanyi in a few words, and showing off his tricks every meal, Jinling often felt that she had raised two stupid sons.

Fucheng hadn't come to the ruined temple for three days, he didn't care about Zhou Xuanyi, and he didn't come here to heal Zhou Xuanyi's injuries.

Jin Ling could see that there was something wrong with the relationship between the two, but couldn't figure out why.

When Jinling entered the room, Zhou Xuanyi was leaning on the bedside reading a book, a lock of hair was hanging from his ear, he had been in bed for too long, that hair was a fish that slipped through the net, but it suddenly brought Zhou Xuanyi back to life, even though he was still Cold and distant, but no longer cold and hard like a thin china doll.

"Did you two quarrel?"

Zhou Xuanyi raised his head and said, "Forget it." The conversations between him and Jin Ling were always gentle.

Jin Ling put the concoction on the low stool in front of the bed, and said, "Why?"

Zhou Xuanyi felt that Jin Ling might know something, and said, "I went up to the bell tower with him."

"...You are very kind." Jin Ling sighed.

It only needed one sentence, and Jin Ling understood in her heart that after following Fucheng for so many years, she had a delicate mind, and her understanding of Fucheng must surpass that of Zhou Xuanyi.This person in Fucheng looks carefree, and usually he won't be really angry no matter how he is hurt, but there is a forbidden area in his heart, and this area is untouchable.Fucheng is like a piece of iron that has been tempered thousands of times, isolating all attempted touches from outsiders.

Even if Jin Ling was given ten guts, Jin Ling would not dare to ask about Fu Cheng's past.

"But his temper comes and goes quickly, and he will be fine in a few days." Jin Ling said so, feeling anxious in her heart, and she couldn't figure out what Fu Cheng was thinking.

Zhou Xuanyi was quite indifferent to feelings. After the conversation in the bell tower, he thought he would not think about Fucheng anymore, but when he looked at the concoction on the bedside, he suddenly remembered the peanut candy in Fucheng. It is delicious.Inferior and sticky candy is a rare good thing in Fucheng's childhood. What has Fucheng experienced?

When Fucheng didn't come on the first day, Zhou Xuanyi was very indifferent. When he didn't come on the second day, Zhou Xuanyi didn't care. On the third day, Zhou Xuanyi came to his senses. These two idiots are really stubborn when they get angry.

How to coax?Zhou Xuanyi had a bunch of memories of murders and autopsies in his mind, but he couldn't dig out any memories about deceiving people. He didn't know how to write these two words.

Zhou Xuanyi put down the book, feeling a little melancholy.

After three days of recuperation, Zhou Xuanyi felt that his health had improved a lot. The flow of true energy in his dantian during meditation made people feel very safe. Zhou Xuanyi suddenly thought that if Fucheng would not come back, he would fly away when his falcon healed up. Now, when I went back to the ruined temple, what was my mood when I saw people go to the empty building.

Just thinking about it, Fucheng returned to the ruined temple that day.In fact, it wasn't that he never came back. After all, Zhou Xuanyi's life was very important, but every time he came back, it was late at night, and Zhou Xuanyi was sleeping soundly, so he didn't know about it.

Fucheng is not such a person who disregards the overall situation. He knows that the relationship between himself and Zhou Xuanyi cannot be broken immediately, and there are still many questions to be investigated afterwards. It is not Fucheng's style to let go, and he will hold back his temper, so this The first time I went back to the temple was more or less meant to make peace.

Fucheng was willing to come back, Jin Ling heaved a sigh of relief, and cooked a sumptuous lunch by himself.Jinling obviously knew better than Zhou Xuanyi how to make Fucheng happy. As soon as the dishes were served, Fucheng laughed, "Babaoji? Are you going to get married today?"

Before Zhou Xuanyi came to the ruined temple, Jinling didn't cook very much, she only went to the kitchen to see how she felt, and it was already rare to cook some home-cooked dishes casually, let alone a big dish today.

Jin Ling knocked on Fucheng's bowl and said: "You don't know how to say nice things, my aunt is in a good mood today, so why don't you be happy to make Babao chicken."

"All right, all right, I wish you a good mood tomorrow." Fucheng scooped out a spoonful, the chicken was wrapped in glutinous rice and shrimp, and with the rich Shaoxing wine, the mouthfeel was pleasant!Shrimp and Shaoxing wine are rare ingredients in Bailu City. Jinling bought them from the back kitchen of Taibaiju Restaurant even with threats.

Zhou Xuanyi was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, so he had no obvious reaction to this dish, and he hardly spoke while eating.

Jinling chatted with Fucheng cracklingly, the atmosphere was a bit weird no matter what.

After dinner, Jin Ling rushed to wash the dishes and scurried into the kitchen, refusing to come out. She had tried it, but don't say she was dishonest. In such a difficult moment, whoever loves clings to others.

Jinling took an unusually long time to wash the dishes, Fucheng cleared his throat, and asked, "Is the injury healed?"

Zhou Xuanyi replied: "It's almost there."

The conversation between the two ended here.

The two of them froze for a while, about half a stick of incense, and even Jin Ling couldn't get out of the kitchen.At this time Song Xiaochuan suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

He entered the ruined temple only to realize that the atmosphere seemed wrong, and it was too late to turn around to leave, Fucheng had already called him, "Here we come."

"Ah..." Song Xiaochuan felt a little weird, turned his head slowly, and said with a fake smile: "They are all here."

"Come and sit." Fu Cheng greeted.

Song Xiaochuan moved over in embarrassment, at the four corners of the table, Fucheng and Zhou Xuanyi were sitting face to face, Song Xiaochuan could only squeeze between them.

Song Xiaochuan laughed dryly and said, "What are you talking about?"

Fu Chengdao: "Chat."

... How does this make people accept?Song Xiaochuan's subsequent conversations were all blocked by this sentence.Jin Ling hugged the cat nest in the kitchen, peeking here secretly, feeling sorry for Song Xiaochuan silently.

Song Xiaochuan froze in place, really wanted to dive under the table, he held back for a while, his face was almost purple, and asked: "Is there any clue about that peony handkerchief?"

As soon as he said this sentence, Song Xiaochuan felt that he was right, what a suitable topic this is.

Fucheng hasn't come to the ruined temple for three days, so he must have investigated it privately, but right now he doesn't seem to have any intention of speaking, Zhou Xuanyi glanced at him, and asked: "Based on what you know about Yan Shaokang, do you think Yan Shaokang would like it?" what kind of person?"

Zhou Xuanyi's words were obviously asking Fucheng, but Fucheng obviously didn't intend to answer the conversation, and the topic that was finally raised couldn't just be dismissed, Song Xiaochuan could only bite the bullet and continue in a low voice. "I don't know about this..."

Jin Ling felt that it was too unfair to leave Song Xiaochuan there alone, so she walked out of the kitchen with the cat in her arms, sat opposite Song Xiaochuan and asked, "Are you all chatting?"

Zhou Xuanyi continued: "Guess?"

Song Xiaochuan said: "Be gentle...Jinling, you are a woman, you should know the relationship between men and women best. Guess what kind of woman Yan Shaokang likes?" Song Xiaochuan decided to throw this hot potato to Jinling.

"Brother Yan has a woman? Why didn't I know?" Jin Ling rolled her big round eyes and said, "But if you ask me to guess, I can probably guess it. Yan Shaokang doesn't like to talk, and keeps a straight face all year round. , like a zombie according to my words. If that girl is also a cold face, what can they talk about together? Is there a longer time for each other to talk to each other?" Jin Ling felt more and more reasonable as she spoke, and finally He patted the table and said: "The girls he likes are either gentle or lively, so that their personalities can complement each other."

Zhou Xuanyi nodded, Jinling thought the same as he did, but there are so many gentle and lively girls in the world, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.Zhou Xuanyi said: "Leaving aside the occasional encounters on the street, if he wants to get in touch with a woman, he can only use what channels."

Song Xiaochuan thought for a while and said: "He doesn't go to Baihua Street. The places he often goes to are medical clinics and pharmacies, or he goes to the mountains to collect herbs. I guess that girl is also doing this job, otherwise Yan Shaokang is a doctor. The idiots have nothing to talk about."

After Song Xiaochuan finished speaking, he added: "Of course this is just a guess."

Fu Cheng suddenly interjected: "I have investigated the medical clinics and pharmacies in the whole city, and there is not a single woman who meets this requirement." Fu Cheng has his own way of checking people, and he has been using various channels for the past few days. Girls, but there is no effective harvest.

Zhou Xuanyi also naturally took over the topic and said, "Yan Shaokang is a cautious person. He chose the pharmacy where he often goes to meet the Grand Duke. I don't know if he is deliberately leaving clues for you."

Jin Ling and Song Xiaochuan exchanged glances, thinking that my aunt is amazing, isn't this a communication?

Zhou Xuanyi glanced at Fucheng, and the two exchanged glances for a short while, and said, "He should take good care of his woman and not expose her to any danger, so he hasn't revealed her existence to you, The Hall of Rejuvenation is in the South City, so she should be in a place far away from the South City, such as the North City. Of course, this reason is far-fetched, and whether you can find it depends on luck."

It is a needle in a haystack, and we can only use a little bit of known information to slowly push back. The effect must be bad, the progress must be slow, and there may be a wrong idea from the beginning, but there is no better way at present, and this is the only way with.

If you want to find Yan Shaokang, Yan Shaokang's woman is the key, but it's hard to say whether this person is in Bailu City or not.So investigating this mysterious peony girl can't put too much energy into it.

The topic ended again, Zhou Xuanyi felt that this person in Fucheng was too awkward, and his only patience was exhausted, so he said to Song Xiaochuan: "My injury is almost healed, thank you."

Zhou Xuanyi was able to recover so quickly thanks to the bottles and cans that Song Xiaochuan stuffed over that day.

"Where is it?" Zhou Xuanyi said, Song Xiaochuan felt terrified, and said, "It's all thanks to Brother Yan, what do I know?"

Zhou Xuanyi continued: "I will move to your place tonight."

Zhou Xuanyi's simple words really scared Song Xiaochuan into a cold sweat. He could feel Fucheng's gaze even with his eyes closed. He invited people from Fucheng to his house without Fucheng's consent. Is Xiao Chuan still alive?

What's more, with Zhou Xuanyi's dead temper, after Song Xiaochuan dealt with him last time, he didn't want to have any contact with Zhou Xuanyi in his life.

"This..." Song Xiaochuan wanted to cry, there was not even a cup of tea on the table, and Song Xiaochuan had nowhere to put his hands and feet, and the words "bewildered" were written on his face, saying: "Is this a matter?" ..."

Song Xiaochuan couldn't say a fart for a long time, Zhou Xuanyi said: "Speak to Fucheng."

"Ah?" Song Xiaochuan looked at Fucheng again, wondering why he had to be involved in this mess, and silently asked Fucheng, what does this mean?The two broke up?

Fucheng frowned when he heard Zhou Xuanyi's words. He said something angry at that time, and Zhou Xuanyi really remembered it.Fucheng thought to himself, Song Xiaochuan's house is the size of a sparrow, it's strange that Zhou Xuanyi, a young master, can hold back his temper.

Fu Cheng nodded: "Well, it's settled, I will trouble you during this time."

Jin Ling covered her face with one hand, thinking that it's no wonder why Fucheng is so big and there's no one there, this person's brain must have been kicked by a donkey, will he die if he stops him?The words had already been spoken, and Jin Ling had no choice but to stop them.

No... What's the matter with Song Xiaochuan when they quarreled?No one notified Song Xiaochuan in advance, and Song Xiaochuan didn't want to invite an ancestor home.

"Boss, boss, I...isn't it appropriate?" Song Xiaochuan looked towards Fucheng as if asking for help, thinking to coax your ancestors back quickly.

"What's inappropriate? Is there someone in your family?" Fu Cheng looked at him suspiciously.

As far as this is concerned, how could Song Xiaochuan refuse? The news Song Xiaochuan received temporarily did not even have a chance to pack it up in a hurry. As soon as the four of them finished talking, they walked into Song Xiaochuan's house on the spot holding the quilt , which made Song Xiaochuan baffled.Song Xiaochuan was a little guilty, Zhou Xuanyi should have been a gentleman in the past, living in such a simple place is still a bit shabby.

Sure enough, Zhou Xuanyi frowned as soon as he entered the door.As soon as the door was opened, there was a smell of ink and damp.But except for Fucheng, Zhou Xuanyi acted very educated with others, he just frowned and didn't say much.

There was a book on the table that hadn't been put away yet. Zhou Xuanyi glanced at it. It was "Bailu Strange Chronicles" which specially recorded all kinds of anecdotes and strange things about Bailu City. What kind of vixen would steal his heart? , soldiers without heads and so on.The chapter that Song Xiaochuan didn't have time to finish was about a mysterious Taoist temple called Changchun Temple. According to the book, there is a strange well in Changchun Temple, which is cold in all seasons and frost can form in midsummer.The book also records that many people died in this well, and no one could come out of it alive.

Zhou Xuanyi just flipped through it casually, but Song Xiaochuan was terrified and snatched it from Zhou Xuanyi's hand.

Song Xiaochuan's movements were a little unnatural, Zhou Xuanyi frowned, and it wasn't because he was watching a live show, so why were he so nervous?

Song Xiaochuan piled "Bailu Qizhi" and other books on the table together in his arms and said: "They are all idle books, I will move to another place."

After Song Xiaochuan left, Zhou Xuanyi was the only one left in the study. Zhou Xuanyi looked around the small study. It really wasn't a good place. Even if it was a bachelor's room in Fucheng, it was facing south and well ventilated. Without sunlight, the smell of corruption and dampness lingers for a long time.

It is always uncomfortable to fall into a place like Liuyin Alley overnight from the proud son of heaven, and he has dispelled this discomfort in the ruined temple Jinling and Fucheng before.It's only when I'm alone again that I feel a little bit of loneliness again.

Zhou Xuanyi felt a little panicked, but he didn't want to admit that it was because of Fu Cheng.
