Returning on a Snowy Night [Martial Arts]

"Since I came back this time, this place has really changed a lot!" Ye Jin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar street with emotion, and then said with a little doubt: "I don't know which rich man thinks of it in such a place? Building roads and doing business in a remote town? Aren’t you afraid of losing your fortune?”

After hearing this, Murong Xiu felt a little guilty. Of course, the shopkeeper Song from Linglong Pavilion was responsible for these things.At that time, I had a hot head, so I called Shopkeeper Song here, but I didn't expect that he actually discovered a rare mineral nearby.Shopkeeper Song understood the importance of smooth roads, so he decided to build a road connecting several medium-sized towns around him without further ado.

However, is this movement a bit loud?Murong Xiu looked at the few pedestrians on the street, and felt even more disturbed—now all the strong laborers are going to build roads for the new Mr. Song, and even the women have gone to the construction site to cook. How can there be anything on the street at this time? people?

I wanted to establish a business here, originally I couldn't bear Ye Jin to do some chores every day, but now that I think about it, if Ye Jin is willing to show his strength, even if he just leaves this small town, his achievements today are far from what he is now—— If what Ye Jin likes is a peaceful life, wouldn't he be self-defeating instead?

But now that things have been done, it is impossible to transfer the energetic storekeeper Song back.

Murong Xiu felt that since he was reborn, he always did some inexplicable and self-contradictory stupid things... No, he was not very smart in his previous life, otherwise how could he be used by someone with a heart and cause such a bleak end!

Murong Xiu was doing self-criticism in his heart, Ye Jin waited for a long time and didn't hear his reply, so he couldn't help but looked over strangely.Only then did Murong Xiu come back to his senses, and reluctantly said: "Maybe it's for the benefit of the village, not for making money..." Yes, this property was prepared for Ye Jin, and even if it cost him to death, Murong Xiu would grit his teeth and support it .

Ye Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and laughed at himself: "Ye has fallen into a cliché—if it is as the owner said, this Song Yuanwai is a generous righteous man who never forgets his elders. How rude!"

Murong Xiu asked side-by-side: "Brother Ye, don't you think his actions are too disturbing to the people?...Nowadays, only one out of ten people stay in the town with peace of mind, so that the streets are deserted and there are few pedestrians..."

Ye Jin wondered: "What is the owner talking about? In the past, although the townspeople were at home at ease, their daily income was barely enough to make ends meet - now Song Yuanwai hires people to build roads, although they are tired from work, the money they earn is not enough.

It is several times that of the past, which is a good thing! "

Only then did Murong Xiu heave a sigh of relief, Ye Jin looked at him and felt a little suspicious in his heart.Before he could think about it, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers, and the two followed the sound, only to see a newly opened restaurant in front of them. Unlike other places where there were few people, there were many spectators around here, almost covering the street. blocked.

I saw a smiling and friendly shopkeeper walking out from the inside, bowing to the crowd and saying: "Today, the shop is open, and all dishes and drinks are discounted. All the folks who come to join us will give each a box of Baochunlou specialties." pastry!"

Everyone applauded, the shopkeeper waved his hand behind him, and there were a few waiters carrying pastries neatly placed on the tables on both sides of the gate, the crowd rushed over immediately, and several waiters greeted everyone to line up , shouting "Don't squeeze, everyone has a share!", and then dutifully maintained order on the sidelines.

Seeing that the door was vacant, the shopkeeper graciously led the distinguished guests who had come to watch the ceremony to enter. At this time, he had to admire the contacts of shopkeeper Song. Before even a word on the industry here, some businessmen came here to inspect it.

Ye Jin looked at a large-scale restaurant at the head of Mingyue Town, and couldn't help but proudly said: "Master Murong, why don't we join in the fun too?" As he said, he dragged Murong Xiu into the door before he could answer.

Most of the people in the town were poor, and most of them were waiting outside the door to receive pastries, and almost no one came in to eat, so the two of them were discovered by the shopkeeper as soon as they entered the door.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Murong Xiu, he immediately apologized to several distinguished guests, called someone over to say hello, and rushed forward to greet him, when he was about to blurt out "Master", Murong Xiu quickly gave him a wink, the shopkeeper's Glancing at Ye Jin, he immediately said cleverly: "You two guests, please come inside!"

Leading the attentive two people to an elegant seat, the shopkeeper still stood still, acting as the waiter himself, and asked with a smile on his face: "What do you two want to eat? This shop has West Lake vinegar fish, sweet-scented osmanthus three non-stick, Wuwei Smoked Duck...Roasted Chicken with Chestnuts..."

Murong Xiu said without hesitation: "Come here for a roasted chicken with chestnuts." The shopkeeper simply agreed, and asked Xiao Er to order the cook to prepare it.Ye Jin watched the conversation between the two, feeling more and more suspicious in his heart: something was wrong with Murong Xiu ever since he entered the door, the shopkeeper seemed to know him, but he pretended not to know him; A series of famous dishes is mixed with a home-cooked dish, which always gives people an abrupt feeling.

The two were indeed matching codes.Roasted chicken with chestnuts is a dish that Ye Jin cooked for Murong Xiu, and the shopkeeper obviously knew it. He reported this dish just now to ask Murong Xiu if this person is the one who will take over the property of Mingyue Town in the future. He answered affirmatively.

"Shopkeeper, may I ask, but the owner of this room is that Song Yuanwai who built the road?" Ye Jin couldn't figure it out, so he asked tentatively.

Knowing Ye Jin's identity, the shopkeeper didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, your guess is too correct, it can't be him! ——Song Dong's family said, wait until the industry here is established, my God! Merchants from all over the world will definitely flock here, and it will be impossible if there is no room for a high-end hotel reception. No, let the villain open this Baochunlou!"

Murong Xiu glared at him dissatisfied: Just ask what you want and answer, what nonsense!Don't you know that the more you talk, the easier it is to reveal your secrets?The shopkeeper didn't understand the deep meaning of the boss this time, and stood there blankly, not knowing what he did wrong.

Ye Jin looked at the interaction between the two calmly, and basically affirmed that the two were master-servant, so he pretended to sigh: "This Song Yuanwai really has a unique vision! He actually thought of buying a property in such a remote place. It's different from ordinary people like me!"

"Guest officer, you don't know! The ancestors of our host family are from Mingyue Township. They escaped from the famine decades ago... Later, they made a lot of money in business, so they wanted to come back to benefit the village and build bridges and roads. Earning money, who would have discovered a rare vein of minerals in the back mountain, or how can you say that good people are rewarded..."

The shopkeeper and Murong Xiu are worthy of being masters and servants, and the reason they made up is similar, which sounds pretty bluffing at first.But Murong Xiu didn't feel relieved, he was annoyed at the moment why he had to call such a talkative shopkeeper over, it was about to reveal his secrets in the blink of an eye, but it was obviously too late to regret it at this time.

Out of the corner of Ye Jin's eyes, he caught sight of the expression on Murong Xiu's face. He was secretly amused, but he said with a look of surprise on his face: "This is amazing! My family's ancestors have lived in Mingyue Town for generations, but I have never heard of anyone with the surname Song. My family—that's how ignorant I am!"

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard this, and his stomach exploded: How long have you only moved to Mingyue Town?Dare to say that our ancestors have lived here for generations!Don't be afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!But it would be a fool to say this, and I knew he was making up nonsense at this time, so I had to bite the bullet and deal with it, and I couldn't help crying in my heart: This ancestor is also a difficult master!

"This... the boss's matter, the villain is actually not very clear... I have heard people say this, but I don't know whether it is true or not..." The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "I am making you laugh... "

Ye Jin got the answer he wanted, so he didn't make it difficult for him, he smoothed things over and let him go down, the shopkeeper immediately called a waiter to serve him, but he didn't dare to show his head.

In fact, if the shopkeeper insisted on what he said before, Ye Jin would not be sure if the matter was true or false, but when the man heard him say that his ancestors lived here for generations, he immediately overturned the previous statement. I knew immediately that he was lying.

When Murong Xiu saw that the shopkeeper left without opening the door, he felt relieved, and hurriedly asked Ye Jin to order some dishes, and ordered a pot of Yubing Shao, and the two began to eat.

During the banquet, Murong Xiu was chatty like never before, chatting with Ye Jin all over the world, thinking that he had forgotten about it, Ye Jin asked suddenly: "This is the owner's property, right?" ?" The chopsticks in Murong Xiu's hand fell to the table with a snap.

Ye Jin didn't seem to notice his gaffe, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked casually, "That member of the Song Dynasty must also be the owner's subordinate?" Murong Xiu didn't say a word, looked at There is a repressed and dangerous temperament, in fact, the mind has gone blank after being frightened.

Murong Xiu always remembers the last time when Ye Jin got angry because of being deceived, and this time he lied to him again, will Ye Jin lose trust in him again, will he be angry...or feel that his life has been disturbed and monitored up?If he knew that this property was prepared for him, would he feel that his dignity was insulted?

Murong Xiu made up a lot of things in his brain in an instant, and the more he thought about it, the more he became afraid, and he lost his normal thinking ability.

Ye Jin observed Murong Xiu calmly, and the two of them had been together for a long time, at this moment he vaguely saw a little embarrassment and guilt from Murong Xiu's well-disguised face.

He felt that Murong Xiu was a little helpless and pitiful at this moment, so he couldn't help but soften his heart, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "The last time the owner came to Mingyue Town was for this property, right? Why didn't you say it clearly?—— Ye Mou is not the kind of narrow-minded person who would not treat the whole town as a private territory..."

After hearing this, Murong Xiu seemed to have been pardoned in an instant, his lost language ability came back in a blink of an eye, and he said awkwardly: "I'm just afraid that this action will disturb the purity of Brother Ye and Senior Shen, Brother Ye just don't blame me..."

Ye Jin laughed and said, "What is the owner talking about? This town does not belong to the next person—even if I want to be clean, I can't force the whole town to live in poverty like me!"

Murong Xiu smiled shyly and said: "I'm offended by a villain, I punish myself with a drink as an apology!" Then he poured a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

The atmosphere calmed down in an instant, and after a few more glasses of wine, Ye Jin suddenly asked, seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, the mine veins here are so well hidden, and Ye Mou lived here for several years without finding anything. How did you find out that the owner of the villa is thousands of miles away?"

When Murong Xiu heard this, he became tense again instantly. Ye Jin saw his hand slightly paused with sharp eyes, and saw that the man returned to his expressionless face.

Ye Jin suddenly slapped his forehead and said in a daze: "It's just that I have little knowledge! ——The owner of the villa has such power, and he has an inseparable relationship with the owner of the Pavilion of Truth Listening who knows all the news in the world. It's not surprising to know this!"

Murong Xiu was tossed and tossed by him, his heart was raised and then let go, he just felt like sitting on pins and needles, and after a few perfunctory words, he started to retreat.At this moment, news came from Zhuangshang, saying that there seemed to be something wrong with the young lady, and he asked him to go back and have a look, and Murong Xiu took advantage of this to escape.

Seeing that Murong Xiu received the letter from Feiying, Ye Jin's expression turned serious, and he no longer thought about probing. He asked concerned, "What's wrong? Can you help me?" Murong Xiu also calmed down at this moment. , then smiled at him and said: "It's not a big deal, I can handle it!"

Seeing that Ye Jin was still a little worried, he comforted him a few more words, and then left him with the reason of "Brother Ye needs to take care of him here", rode on a fast horse, and rushed back to No. [-] village in the world.

Ye Jin sent Murong Xiu away, and when he turned his head to see the leftovers on the table, he just felt lost.

Ye Jin stayed for a while and then checked out the Baochun Building. There were still few pedestrians on the street, but it really made him feel a bit bleak at this moment.

But now that Murong Xiu is not around, it is just for him to take care of the relationship between the two of them.In fact, Ye Jin found out that Murong Xiu had an inexplicable nervousness towards him very early on, especially when he was injured, the panic and helplessness that he wanted to replace with his body often made him terrified.

In addition, Murong Xiu's connivance towards him is even more weird: Ye Jin asked himself that if he was treated like that by a man other than Murong Xiu, even if he was a good brother who died and made friends, he would not be able to help but have the urge to kill. Not to mention the self-recommended pillow seat later.Is anyone really willing to sacrifice like this for a friend?

Ye Jin once suspected that Murong Xiu also had feelings for him, but if that was the case, why did he refuse to tell each other frankly, and when the two were happy, they had an expression of extreme reluctance?

At this time, he still remembered the scene when he first met Murong Xiu. It would be even more unreasonable to appear here alone to investigate the mine veins of Mingyue Town.Also, why does he cry when he sees himself?Why is he wary of everyone but trusts him so much?If it was because he saved him, but at that time Murong Xiu had already lost consciousness, and the first person he saw was also Master...

In fact, Ye Jin had a vague feeling that Murong Xiu had known him a long time ago. If he came to Mingyue Town to find him, then everything seems to make sense... But how is this possible?If the two had known each other for a long time, how could he have no impression.Moreover, my memory from childhood to adulthood is intact, and there is no possibility of amnesia.

The more Ye Jin thought about it, the more confused he became. He always felt that Murong Xiu had a big secret to hide from him, but if he asked directly, he would definitely not be able to find out.

Ye Jin pondered for a while, and the doubts in his heart not only did not ease, but became more and more serious. He was about to give up helplessly, when suddenly the scene of Murong Xiu pretending to be indifferent to cover up the embarrassment flashed through his mind, and an idea popped up: Could the distance he showed when he was close to him be just to cover up his embarrassment?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Jin couldn't help feeling hot: the first time the two of them had a very tragic first time, but he used his own strength, and he didn't clearly express his heart to Murong Xiu, how could he admit that he had feelings for him?

However, Murong Xiu proposed to himself the double cultivation, isn't it a veiled confession?It's ridiculous that I never understood it!Ye Jin knew that his thoughts were too taken for granted, but no matter what, he would not be reconciled if he didn't ask clearly.

Thinking of this, Ye Jin could hardly restrain his excitement, he was about to chase after Murong Xiu, and thought of the group of children in the nursery, so he couldn't hold back.
