Returning on a Snowy Night [Martial Arts]

The largest restaurant in Luoxia Town, Wangjianglou, is doing business as usual today.

It was past noon at this time, and in an elegant seat by the window on the second floor, two guests were sitting there quietly drinking tea. The hair, the brows are straight, and he is resting his chin in one hand in boredom; the other is dressed in white, wearing a veiled hat on his head, so he can't see his face.

At this time, there were a lot fewer people coming to eat, and half of the ten tables on the second floor were empty, and most of the occupied ones were guests who had nothing to do and came to chat.So Xiao Er took a break, sat behind the counter and observed the surrounding customers, and listened to their nonsense by the way.

At this moment, a scholar sitting on the west side was flaunting news to the person sitting opposite: "Say, Situ Xuerou, the number one beauty in the Jianghu, met the eldest son of the Lantingchi family, and the two of them had such a good look..."

"Wait!" The chunky and dressed man on the opposite side interrupted him, questioning: "Isn't the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu the fairy Murong of the world's number one village? How did she become Situ Xuerou? ——Situ Xuerou Even though she is stunning, she is far worse than Fairy Murong!"

His companion was obviously scratched to the itch, and immediately retorted: "Brother, your news is out of date! Murong Ruo was murdered by gangsters a month ago, and now everyone has been buried in the ground. dead!"

After finishing speaking, she sighed for this beautiful woman who had disappeared, and continued: "The number one beauty in the rivers and lakes naturally becomes Situ Xuerou..."

"What? Fairy Murong is dead?" The short and fat man was obviously very saddened, "Who would have the heart to do such a murderous thing for such a beauty?"

"Hi! Who can tell what's going on in Jianghu?" The scholar sighed and shook his head.

"Tell me... before the number one beauty in Jianghu was killed...was someone...hehehe..." the short and fat man suddenly lowered his voice, and after finishing speaking, he winked at the scholar.

"Hush...Shut up!" The scholar was obviously taken aback by him, looked around for a while, saw that no one noticed them, he was relieved, turned around and whispered to his companion: "You don't want to die? Dare to organize Murong Xiu's sister in the southwestern land, are you afraid that Fei Wei, the number one farmer in the world, will come out of nowhere and give you a knife?"

"Hehe... how could such a coincidence..." The short and fat man obviously didn't care, he picked up the wine glass on the table and was about to drink it, but the glass suddenly split into two neatly from the middle, and the wine spilled all over him.

"Ahhh..." The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed shrillly, and fell out of the seat with a plop.

The scholar opposite him was also terrified. He leaned back and was about to fall, so he quickly reached out to grab the table, but the whole table fell down on him. It was split into two neat halves silently.

The man scrambled out from under the table, cupped his hands in panic, and hurriedly said: "This, this senior, I just met this person by chance, and I have no friendship with him. He spoke rudely...with me. It's nothing to do with me...if you want to question me, senior, you can go to him, don't come to me..." After finishing speaking, he ran out the door as if fleeing for his life.

Seeing his companion running away without loyalty, the short and fat man felt even more desperate. With a plop, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying, "Grandpa, please! ... woo woo woo..."

After kowtowing for a while, he still felt that it was not enough, and slapped his face again, adding a bit of "richness" to the already swollen face.

After tossing like this for a while, seeing no one was paying attention, the man tentatively moved a few steps towards the door, and seeing that everything was safe, he immediately scrambled and fled out the door.

Immediately there were several dull heavy objects falling to the ground and miserable howls, presumably this person was in a hurry to escape, accidentally stepped on the air, and rolled down the stairs.

In the private seat by the window, Murong Xiu picked up his cup and took a sip, his eyes glanced at the silver handle that Li Xiaoyao secretly held in his hand through the curtain.

Li Xiaoyao, who was worried that Murong Xiu would violently commit murder and planned to impose a small punishment first, but did not have time: "..."

"Worried that I will kill someone because of such a trivial matter?" Murong Xiu put down his teacup and said something lightly, which was immediately exchanged by Li Xiaoyao for two dry laughs.

He was not embarrassed when he saw through his plan, so he casually threw the silver coin in his hand to Xiao Er, which was regarded as compensation for the tables and chairs and the meal money of the escaped guests.

If it was Murong Xiu a month ago, Li Xiaoyao was not worried at all that he would kill someone because of a trivial matter, but now it is not necessarily the case... How should I put it, although the Murong Xiu in the past seemed cold and difficult to get along with, Li Xiaoyao Knowing that he just has such a personality, he is essentially a good person who believes in doing unto others as you would have them do unto others, and that all beings are equal, so Li Xiaoyao can laugh and curse in front of him to his heart's content without worrying that he will get angry.

But now Murong Xiu... Li Xiaoyao wanted to glance at him quietly. For some reason, it always made people feel creepy. He's a good man, otherwise he wouldn't just lightly punish those two idlers who didn't know what to say.

However, as a close friend, Li Xiaoyao felt that Murong Xiu's changes before and after were definitely not due to his delusions, but something happened to him during this period of time!But what happened?

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoyao took a peek at Murong Xiu for a while again...could it be...it was because of Sister Murong—but it shouldn't be, Murong Ruo didn't see him like this in the few days after his death. Sadness is much less than before, right?

Li Xiaoyao glanced over like this, people who practice martial arts have keen five senses, and Murong Xiu is not a dead person, so he has already noticed it. He raised his head and gave Li Xiaoyao a warning look, reminding someone to restrain his behavior.

"Cough, that Murong..." Li Xiaoyao asked tentatively, "What have you been up to lately? Why don't you go out?"

Murong Xiu raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head to drink tea. ... This meant that he refused to say anything. Li Xiaoyao gave him a speechless look. Sometimes he even admired his ability to read the answer from Murong Xiu's eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You know, what is being rumored about you in the world?" Murong Xiu gave him a questioning look, and Li Xiaoyao immediately answered his doubts with interest: "Legends of the world: No. The owner of Yizhuang has newly acquired a stunning beauty, who is hiding in the villa, the owner treats her as a treasure, and loves her very much, every night...cough."

Li Xiaoyao coughed in embarrassment, but still didn't say the word night night Shengge.After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to avoid Murong Xiu's eyes. He didn't need to look up to know that Murong Xiu's eyes must be full of contempt at this moment.

"Do you believe it?" Murong Xiu said suddenly.Li Xiaoyao jumped up as if his tail was stepped on: "It's just a rumor in the market, how can you believe it? These ordinary people like to make up these things. How can the owner be a person who is obsessed with love?"

Besides, Murong Xiu himself looks like this, what kind of beauty can fascinate him?Wouldn't you be ashamed of yourself in front of him?

What Li Xiaoyao was embarrassed to say was that he believed it a little at the time.

After all, it is true that Murong Xiu did not go out for a month.It's all right if you don't go out, the housekeeper Lin is in charge of everything in the village, the business is also managed by his shopkeeper, and he doesn't even go to the top of the mountain to practice kung fu every day. This is something that has never happened before.

It was only after seeing him in real life today that I completely dispelled this idea - after all, no one can still have a creepy look on his face after playing songs every night, right?Besides, the younger sister was addicted to beauty just after her burial, Li Xiaoyao believed that Murong Xiu would not be able to do such a thing.

Murong Xiu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "It's Ye Jin." Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what he said was not the beauty hidden in Zhuangshang, but Ye Jin.

"What? Ye Jin is still alive!" Li Xiaoyao was extremely surprised.He also heard about Ye Jin being the murderer later, although he also felt a little bit of emotion at the time when he was pecked by wild geese all day long, and he felt sorry for the two who had done useless work, but he also admired his responsibility.

Originally thought that even if Murong Xiu would keep him to torture him, it would not be too much, but he didn't want him to live till now.I think it's because of him that Murong Xiu has lived in seclusion for a month!Tsk tsk, isn't this person tortured to the point of becoming inhuman?

Li Xiaoyao sympathized with him for a moment, then left.What he was more worried about was Murong Xiu, who indulged too deeply in hatred, fearing that he might go mad!

"He's dying." Murong Xiu said suddenly, Li Xiaoyao didn't know why, but he seemed to hear a hint of sadness in his tone, and felt even more disturbed.

He looked at Murong Xiu's face worriedly, and asked: "Murong, how are you feeling recently?" Murong Xiu glanced at him, knowing that he was secretly asking if there was something wrong with his exercises.

The kung fu practiced by Murong Xiu is very special, and it is very demanding on the state of mind. It is very easy to get mad when you are overjoyed, angry, sad, and hated. .

This is also part of the reason why Murong Xiu has kept his heart as still as water and his eyes expressionless all year round.Now, only a close friend like Li Xiaoyao, who can rely on his life, knows the fatal flaw of this technique.

Going mad... Murong Xiu thought about himself, many things happened in a short period of time, and his emotions were indeed a little out of balance, but there was nothing wrong with the operation of his skills, so he thought there was nothing serious about it.So he said, "I'm fine."

There are more things to worry about right now.Looking at the sky and thinking of Ye Jin who was still in the basement, Murong Xiu got up and prepared to leave: "I have something to do at the village, so I'm leaving first." Before Li Xiaoyao could respond, he had already walked out the door.

"Murong!" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly chased after him, Murong Xiu suddenly stopped, and asked something irrelevant: "Is there any news about the thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus in your pavilion?"

"What?" Li Xiaoyao was startled, and was about to ask a question, but Murong Xiu seemed to be just talking casually, and said, "It's nothing." What was he thinking?He laughed at himself, and without waiting for Li Xiaoyao to ask more, he had already practiced lightness kung fu and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the cultivation technique?" Li Xiaoyao, who was left behind, held his chin and muttered to himself.
