Returning on a Snowy Night [Martial Arts]

In the quiet town, when the first ray of sunlight came down through the branches, Murong Xiu walked back slowly from the alley, holding a pile of various snacks and cakes in his hands—all gifts from neighbors.

Although he has been mentally like a child since he became obsessed, he has the aloofness of a martial arts master on the outside, which can scare some townspeople who don't know the truth, but his abnormality obviously cannot be hidden from the nearby neighbors.

Ever since Murong Xiu moved in, no matter whether it's the loving uncle or the big girl and the young daughter-in-law who haven't left the court, everyone loves this beautiful young man who is unfortunately stupid, and they have to give him a share of any delicious food at home. .The children also loved to surround him, but unfortunately they only dared to look at him from a distance because of his strong aura.

Ye Jin was practicing in the yard, when he saw Murong Xiu coming back, he nodded to him and continued practicing.Ye Jin is very focused when practicing, unless something unexpected interrupts him, he must finish all his homework before stopping.

Murong Xiu went to the stone table in the yard and sat down, put the cakes piled up on the table, and watched Ye Jin practice while eating.After Ye Jin punched, he bent his knees slightly and squatted into a horse stance.At this time, he seemed to be standing still, but in fact his body was moving slightly, and the true energy in his body was constantly circulating, but others couldn't see it.

Murong Xiu watched the sweat flow from his cheeks, neck, arms and other parts, and was transpired into a white mist by the full of energy and blood. Suddenly, he felt dry mouth: This posture really makes people unable to bear the daydream... Unknowingly, all of Murong Xiu's movements stopped, his eyes slid down the sweat to the two plump semicircles, and then completely stared at him.

He felt an impulse driving him to get closer, so he stood up obediently, leaned over quietly, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to poke it...Ye Jin suddenly felt something touch his buttocks, and he was really angry in shock After a moment of stagnation, he grabbed the troublemaker's wrist reflexively, and lifted him in front of him.

Just about to get angry, when he saw Murong Xiu's innocent and pure eyes like a child's, he immediately vented his anger, and could only choke out one sentence for a long time: "Don't make trouble!"

Murong Xiu withdrew his hand, and nodded like a good baby to express his understanding, then stepped aside.

However, after a while, a strange feeling came from behind him. Ye Jin looked at his nose, nose and heart, and said silently in his heart: Martial arts practitioners should have nothing outside their minds, and should not be distracted by worldly things... But someone Obviously don't understand the meaning of enough is enough, the nonsense is getting more and more excessive.

Feeling that he would lose his belt if he continued, Ye Jin finally made a breakthrough, picked up the brat who made trouble, and planned to take him back to teach him a good lesson.

Ye Jin carried Murong Xiu back to the room and put him on the bed, and stared at him fiercely. However, Murong Xiu had already understood the nature of a paper tiger and had no intention of it—if Ye Jin could really teach him a lesson, someone would obviously It's impossible to be so arrogant.

Murong Xiu and Ye Jin stared at each other for a while, then they were attracted by the tassels hanging from the bed curtain above their heads, and they stretched out their hands to fiddle with them.Seeing his childish movements, Ye Jin sighed secretly, reached out and stroked his head lightly.

Murong Xiu was drawn back to his attention by his movements, and tilted his head to look at him.Ye Jin didn't talk nonsense, put him in a posture with five hearts turned to the sky, sat down cross-legged himself, put a palm on his back, and used his kung fu to warm and nourish his body.

As soon as Ye Jin made this movement, Murong Xiu immediately obediently sat still.As if knowing that this would be of great benefit to his recovery, only at this time Murong Xiu would never make trouble.

In fact, at the beginning, Ye Jin just had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and wanted to see if he could recover his sanity, but after a few times it seemed to be very effective. Now Murong Xiu can understand most of the words and can do Out of response, just still won't say.Ye Jin simply used his true energy to warm and nourish his body according to the three meals a day.

Ye Jin let the zhenqi circulate in Murong Xiu's body for a few weeks, then withdrew his energy and returned to his body. He opened his eyes and saw that Murong Xiu had his eyes closed and his head tilted to the side. snore.Ye Jin couldn't help but help him lie down, and covered him with the quilt.

Is it so comfortable that you can sit and fall asleep in broad daylight?Ye Jin caressed his peaceful sleeping face, and thought softly: I hope this can really cure you, get well soon... He thought, trying his best to suppress the little bit of reluctance in his heart: no matter how nonsense Ah Xiu is, Ye Jin has already developed deep feelings for him, and he still cherishes and tolerates him more. When he thinks that this person will talk to him politely and distantly after he recovers, and he will no longer have the intimacy he is now, it feels like a piece of his heart has been dug out. Yep, empty and uncomfortable.

Ye Jin exited the door lightly, feeling a little complicated.There are a few little brothers who used to be in the gang, and Murong Xiu has such an outstanding appearance, Ye Jin can basically confirm that he is the current owner of the world's No. [-] village.

It stands to reason that knowing his identity, handing him over to his subordinates and relatives will be more beneficial for his recovery from his injuries. After all, the wealth and power of the No. [-] Village in the world are not comparable to him, a humble man.

However, as the owner of a village, Murong Xiu appeared in this small town alone. However, the owner of the villa has been missing for so many days, and they have not seen them come out to look for or release news, and the whole village is quiet.

Not even one of his subordinates has come to the town to inquire until now, all kinds of abnormalities have to make people think in the direction of conspiracy.Now Ye Jin is still not sure who is trustworthy in the village, so naturally he can't send the person who was finally rescued back to the tiger's mouth in a daze, so he has to hold back for the time being and ask for news slowly.

It would be best if the person could be completely cured. He would handle these matters by himself.

Right now there is one more urgent matter, that is, the Black Sand Gang needs to be resolved urgently.Ye Jin always wanted to find time to deal with those people, but he was afraid that he would leave as the only force, and the Black Sand Gang took advantage of the opportunity to come in and take revenge on everyone in the Salesian.

But if you don’t go, you’re too passive, and when the Black Sand Gang gathers a strong force, they will come directly to surround the Salesian. With so many hostages in hand, it will be too easy to deal with Ye Jin and others.

Therefore, after discussing with the master, Ye Jin decided to move the children in the courtyard to a safe place first, and then Ye Jin left.As for Murong Xiu, he might have to take them away together.

On the bustling wharf, a cargo ship was berthing on the shore, and a dozen sturdy men were carrying sacks to unload like ants.

One of them was very eye-catching: this man was carrying three or four times as much cargo as others, but he was walking like flying. With his help, half of the cargo on the cargo ship was unloaded in a short while.

This person is Ye Jin. Because he is worried about Murong Xiu's safety, Ye Jin will take him with him whenever he is a little far away. Given Murong Xiu's clingy temperament to Ye Jin, if he stays in Salesian In the courtyard, I am afraid that the people who will be tossed will be turned on their backs.

At this time, Murong Xiuxiu was sitting in a restaurant not far away, wearing a gauze hat on his head, and a bowl of steaming chaos in front of him.

Murong Xiu had to help Ye Jin with work at the beginning, Ye Jin would not let him do it, so he coaxed him to put him in this chaotic stall, and seeing his unhappy face, he specially chose someone who could let him see himself Afraid that he would be hungry, he asked for another bowl of chaos for him to eat by himself.

At this time, another tall guest dressed as a businessman came in, this person sat down at the table diagonally opposite Murong Xiu, and greeted the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, here is a bowl of Chaos!"

"Okay! Wait a moment, guest officer!" The stall owner happily replied, and started to work in front of the stove.

The new guest lowered his head to pack his bags, but secretly condensed his voice into a thread, and said to Murong Xiu: "Master, the nail in the villa has reported your disappearance back to the Black Jade Palace. There has indeed been a change in Yan Jiuzhou recently. I have sent several people to investigate your whereabouts, and I have also sent a lot of eyeliners around Zhuangzi, I am afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack Zhuangzi..."

Murong Xiu calmly stirred half a bowl of chaos, and the sound transmission interrupted him: "Yan Jiuzhou was born with a rat gall, as long as I live for a day, he will not dare to play Zhuangzi's idea, let Commander Xu pay more attention." .”

"Yes."

"Has the news of my insanity spread?"

"According to the master's order, the news has reached Yan Jiuzhou's ears, and he has no suspicion."

"Okay, let the spies sent to the Black Jade Palace closely monitor Yan Jiuzhou's every move. Once he leaves the Black Jade Palace, immediately ask Commander Xu to contact the Hujiabao to send troops to attack. He must destroy his stronghold in one fell swoop."

"Master, is this too dangerous?" Ying San heard that Murong Xiu was going to use himself as a bait, and couldn't help asking worriedly.

Murong Xiu smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, except for Yan Jiuzhou himself, the rest of the Black Jade Palace are useless things. The two join forces, and I won't be afraid of him if there are ten more Yan Jiuzhous!"

Seeing that his master immediately regarded Ye Jin as his own, Ying San couldn't help but anxiously said: "Ye Jin just met by chance, how can master be sure that he can be trusted?"

When Murong Xiu heard the words, a gentle expression appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "If even Ye Jin can't be trusted, there will be no one in this world who can be trusted!"

Hearing this, Ying San had a strange look on his face: Don't you just pretend that you haven't recovered and hang around in the sales center because you don't trust Ye Jin?Why do you seem to have more trust in him now?

Could it be that the master has known this person for a long time, and this time he came to Mingyue Town to find him? ——But it’s not right, Ye Jin clearly looks like he doesn’t know his master at all, and he has never seen the two of them in contact before... In other words, since you believe in Ye Jin so much, why don’t you just explain it openly and honestly, maybe everyone can understand it. How about perfecting the follow-up plan?

Speaking of which, Murong Xiu's subordinates are still very efficient. Although the master didn't tell the purpose when he went out, he still found them within two days.

At that time, Murong Xiu hadn't recovered his sanity yet, but his vigilance as a master was still there. When he saw Ying San hiding from a distance, he shook his head expressionlessly at him.

This instinctive pretentious action successfully deceived Ying San, allowing him to instantly imagine a series of inscrutable purposes of his master, obediently hiding them, and beckoning others not to reveal them.Even after seeing Murong Xiu's various actions to break through the lower limit, he only thought that the master was pretending to be crazy to hide himself, and there must be a deep meaning behind it.

It wasn't until Murong Xiu regained his sanity a few days later that he secretly recruited him and told him about his situation that he knew that he had misunderstood, otherwise this silly child would have thought that the owner of his villa had never been insane from beginning to end!

Various thoughts swirled in Yingsan's mind for a while.Murong Xiu knew that his behavior must be very strange in Yingsan's eyes, but he definitely couldn't tell his subordinates about his complex feelings of cowardice, so he coughed lightly and changed the subject: "What's wrong with Miss?"

Hearing the master's question, Yingsan immediately threw away a series of small thoughts, and replied seriously: "Miss and the doctor I met by chance, the two of them have already escaped into the forest next to Guyue City, and the doctor named Gan Ping is quite capable. , Yingyi and the others haven't made a move so far, it seems that two people are enough to deal with the three thieves."

"Oh?" Murong Xiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. Gan Ping had a brief contact with A Ruo for a few days in his previous life. He was a good young man. They were hunted down together.

I thought that this time the shadow guard would have to take action no matter what to save those two people, but I didn't want to belittle him.Thinking about it, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Since this is the case, let Yingyi and the others continue to watch over them, and must ensure the safety of the two of them."

After Ying San responded, Murong Xiu suddenly asked: "Does the No. [-] Village in the World have property nearby?" Ying San was stunned, and replied: "No, there is only a restaurant in Qiushui Town, which is twenty or thirty miles away. , and the operating conditions are not good.”

"It's too far away!" Murong Xiu dissatisfied: "Send a letter to shopkeeper Song, asking him to hand over the affairs at hand to the deputy shopkeeper during this period of time, and then go to the cabinet to pay 1 taels of silver—no matter what, it must be in Mingyue Town will buy the next property and arrange a suitable location for Ye Jin."

"This...isn't that good?" Ying San tried to persuade him.That is shopkeeper Song, the big shopkeeper of the Linglong Pavilion, which is making money every day. Using the analogy of the imperial court, his status is equivalent to the prime minister of a country!If you don't agree with each other, you send someone to this remote town to become a local shopkeeper from scratch, just to arrange an errand for Ye Jin. Isn't it afraid that people will be scattered?

Besides, in Mingyue Town, a remote village without even a decent two-story building, what kind of industry can stand here?If it wasn't really impossible to do business here, why would the shopkeeper of the village open the restaurant in Qiushui Town!

Murong Xiu knew the concerns of his subordinates, so he explained: "When the property here is established, shopkeeper Song will naturally be transferred back to Linglong Pavilion to continue to be a big shopkeeper, and this place will also be taken care of by others. A salary equivalent to [-]% of the bonus here."

After hearing this, Ying San breathed a sigh of relief, this other person must be Ye Jin.If this is the case, transferring Shopkeeper Song here is not only not banishment, but also a great trust: Is there any boss who will throw away 1 taels of silver, and you can use it for whatever business you want, and there is no requirement that it must be profitable. If you make money, you can still get [-]% of the bonus for nothing.Presumably with Shopkeeper Song's current status, such a challenge can only arouse his competitive spirit.

After Yingsan reported his business, he took the matter of Lianqiao being teased by the lady as a joke and told him.Murong Xiu didn't laugh, but sighed inwardly.

The ending of this girl in her previous life was not good. After she was dismissed by Murong Ruo and lost her trace, although she didn't blame her, she couldn't let her go. Frozen to death in the snow.

Coincidentally, the day she died happened to be the same day as my young lady.Thinking of this, he ordered Yingsan to say: "Send an order to Commander Xu, and when Miss returns to the manor to recuperate from her wounds, I will beat this girl ten times and let Ah Ruo go to watch the punishment—just say I said it, and let Fei Wei watch over her." Miss, she is absolutely not allowed to interrupt the execution!"

Ying San was very surprised when he heard that, Lian Qiao was always loyal and diligent in doing things, but his brain was not very flexible. The master always let such things go lightly, why did he become uncharacteristically severe this time?

Thoughts were turning in the shadow guard's mind, but he simply agreed. The master naturally has his reasons, as a subordinate, he just obeys orders.

Murong Xiu learned a lesson from this incident.Of course he knew that Lianqiao was innocent, and he also knew her loyalty. He had seen this in his previous life, and understood that she was no match for his young lady's endless tricks, so he didn't blame her very much every time Murong Ruo succeeded in running away from home.

But my connivance to her and A Ruo is the root cause of the tragedy: because A Ruo knows that his reckless behavior will not affect the people around him, so he never repents.

Now that I beat this girl ten times, although it is punishment, it is actually my love for her.Although this injury looks scary, it only hurts the flesh, and it will be healed after half a month at most.But this move can deter Ah Ruo, make her do similar things in the future, and be able to consider the consequences it will bring to the people around her. By the way, it can also give the silly girl Lianqiao a little memory. Think about things in the future, don't be so stupid brain.

Otherwise, let Ah Ruo go on messing around like this, let alone something happened to her, with the loyalty of this girl, she will probably be implicated and lose her life.

After Ying San took the order to leave, Murong Xiu looked at Ye Jin's figure back and forth on the pier, and couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration in his heart.I was so impulsive to go out in such a hurry!

Originally, he wanted to confirm that Ye Jin was safe, and then return to the village so as not to disturb him.Wait until you have dealt with all the hidden dangers and affairs of the previous life, and then find an opportunity to approach him slowly.As a result, the sudden madness disrupted everything. After Murong Xiu woke up, he found that he had unknowingly dragged Ye Jin into the muddy water of the No. [-] village under heaven.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends. This time, I must protect him no matter what!

After Murong Xiu finished thinking about his thoughts, he continued to stare at Ye Jin without blinking.How long has it been since I have seen such a healthy and lively figure of Ye Jin?During those ten years of being with the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, Murong Xiu would dream of Ye Jin every night. In the dream, Ye Jin was always skinny, pale, as thin and weak as a piece of paper, and the expression on his face was always It is forbearance, pain, despair, and desolation.

The only time Murong Xiu saw his sincere smile was when he died, but that smile became his eternal nightmare. Murong Xiu still can't help but shudder when he thinks about it.If he didn't have this opportunity to start again, he didn't know what he would be like!

He always wanted to know why Ye Jin sacrificed his life to save him.Whether that last smile was the relief from the hell on earth, the relief after saving someone, or... the joy after revenge, the answer to this question Murong Xiu may never know.

Although he didn't want to think about the possibility that Ye Jin had always hated him, he couldn't stop thinking about it - how could someone, after being treated like that, still get along with the executioner calmly?

But if everything is just a false pretense, it seems reasonable... The more Murong Xiu thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the internal energy in his dantian couldn't help but twitch.

At this moment, Ye Jin stopped to rest, turned his head and smiled brightly at Murong Xiu.Murong Xiu seemed to be healed, and returned from the cold hell to the warm world in an instant, and his mood returned to normal.
