Entering March of the lunar calendar, the weather has completely warmed up, but the wind will still make it a little cold in the morning and night, but as a prelude to summer, this is also the best time.
In Longwo Village near the main road, in addition to the original department stores, there are now three more restaurants. Although Yulong Mountain is still under development, there is a sign of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Alliance Headquarters, which still attracts many tourists. , but the undeveloped sky and scenery are far more attractive to many people than the famous scenic spots.
Therefore, many people have started small businesses. In addition to mountain goods, this restaurant is also the first thing that the villagers think of. Not to mention, the business is not bad, especially some people in the county, who are willing to eat here even if they have nothing to do.
Today is the 15th, a cloudy day, lacking the brightness of a full moon night, but the thin clouds and light moon also have a unique charm.
Today is still the weekend, so the lights in the three restaurants are brightly lit, and the stoves in the kitchens are always on fire, and it doesn't quiet down until late at night.
At this time, in Binghou's restaurant, a guest opened the door and walked out. He leaned on the wall and retched a few times, then staggered across the road again, and walked into the restaurant where Zhao Yang's family was as if going home. alley.
He seemed to be extremely drunk and kept walking while holding on to the wall. Sometimes he would stop and lean against the wall to rest. But when he approached Zhao Yang's house, he looked around warily, and then acted like a mouse. Quickly rushed to the door.
In just a few breaths, the door to Zhao Yang's house was quietly opened!
He pushed the door open bit by bit, and when it was big enough for one person to go in, he stepped in lightly, and then quickly looked around. He knew that there were four or five ferocious wolf dogs in Zhao Yang's house.
He quickly locked the location of the kennel. There was indeed a very majestic big dog lying inside, but the strange thing was that it looked up at him and then lay down again. Not only did it not bark, but it seemed not to care about him!
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, and he hesitated to take out the anesthetic needle in his hand. Of course, for him, he was most afraid of hesitation. Therefore, for safety reasons, he was still going to give the big dog a shot - the other dogs were not seen, maybe they were in another home.
As soon as he moved his hand in his pocket, the big dog immediately became alert. There was a threatening whine in his throat, and he quickly stopped moving, then looked at it, and uttered a few very vague syllables from his throat
At this time, someone moved around in the room, although it was very light, but for someone like him. Naturally, he couldn't hide it, and then the door opened, and an old lady with silver hair but not an old face came out and stood at the door. Sighing: "Xiaoqiu, we meet again!"
This person is Mrs. An.
The man she called Xiaoqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at her warily, although her tone sounded calm. But how could he not hear the suppressed anger like a volcanic eruption?
Mrs. An added: "After so many years, your soul song level doesn't seem to have improved much. Even comforting Xiao Hei is so troublesome"
While she was talking, another man walked out of the room, it was Zhao Yang. He put a down jacket on her body and said, "Cold, don't catch a cold."
Xiaoqiu¡¯s eyes flashed, she moved to the side, avoided the corner, and said coldly: ¡°Do you know I¡¯m coming?¡±
As he spoke, he quickly looked back and listened, but he didn't hear any unusual noise, which made him feel a little relieved - for him, in such a quiet night, if there was any unusual movement, it would happen after a few days. He can detect it from a hundred meters away!
He carefully observed the situation in the courtyard and found that only Mrs. An came out. He looked at their faces, then looked at Zhao Yang and asked, "Are you Zhao Yang?"
Zhao Yang patted the head of Xiao Hei who ran over, ignored him, and just stood quietly beside Mrs. An.
Mrs. An looked at him with calm eyes, but for some reason, Xiao Qiu had the urge to avoid it because of the glare!
Time seemed to have frozen. Xiaoqiu curled up the corner of his mouth, smiled softly, took out a sheathed short knife from his arms, looked at it, and said: "It's because of this soul-eating knife that you know I've been here, right?" ? I didn¡¯t expect that I was so lucky to find such a high-grade soul-eating knife!¡±
Mrs. An tightened her grip on the down jacket, then lowered her eyelids and said, "You are going further and further down the wrong road"
Xiaoqiu smiled sarcastically and said, "Don't you already know this? Isn't this what you have always thought?"
Mrs. An shook her head indifferently, paused for a moment, and then said: "I think I know what you are doing here, but before that, can you tell me a question?"
Xiaoqiu has been cautiously talking aboutListening to the commotion outside, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right, but if it was like this from the beginning, how could it get to where it is now?"
Mrs. An's breath tightened, and then she held on to her down jacket. Zhao Yang rubbed her back to calm her breathing, and she calmed down slightly and said, "We'll talk about the beginning later. Tell me, you found it yourself." Are you here under the instructions of others?"
Xiaoqiu sneered twice and said: "You don't need to know this!" He pointed his sword at the two of them and said: "You don't need to think about delaying time. If you cooperate, hand over the twelve secrets." Give it to me. For the sake of past friendship, I will let you go. If There are six people in the room now, all sleeping. If anyone wants to act rashly, humph, I advise you not to bet on me. You should know that even if you have a kind heart, the result will be the same!"
Mrs. An shook her head and said: "Don't you understand yet? The soul song can only be passed on to the people who are suitable for it, the people who should pass it on. You have not been tested from the beginning, and you are even less worthy of having it now!"
A fierce look flashed across Xiaoqiu's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are still like this, you have treated me like this from the beginning! Why? Why? In what way am I inferior to Shen Ke? It's not because he is your biological son, You should always be nice to him, and stick with him for any good things!"
Hearing him mention Shen Ke, Mrs. An swayed, and two lines of tears slid down her face. If Zhao Yang hadn't supported her, she almost fell to the ground!
Zhao Yang quickly asked her how she was. Mrs. An closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, patted Zhao Yang's hand to indicate that she was fine, and then said with a sad face: "Shen Ke, he is Xiaoyu's biological father."
Zhao Yang sighed slightly. No wonder Mrs. An's mood changed drastically when she mentioned that the knife was gone and asked them to pay attention to their safety a few days ago. And all this time, she didn't tell Xiaoyu's life experience, and he didn't ask, but now I just found out who Xiaoyu¡¯s father is, but I just thought there would be no good news
For a moment, Mrs. An managed to control her emotions. She looked at Xiaoqiu and said, "Okay, since you are willing to listen to me and mention our partiality, let me ask you, what do you usually use for food, drink, and clothing? Is yours better? When your adoptive father was alive, did he also love you more? How can you say that we are partial? "
Xiao Qiu laughed, pointed a knife at Mrs. An and said, "Don't make excuses for these small favors. Isn't this a smoke bomb used by you to cover up your kindness to Shen Ke? If it was really against me, why didn't you pass the soul song to him? Pass it on to me? How am I inferior to him? Am I smarter than him? Am I the fastest to learn everything?"
Mrs. An looked at him steadily for a while, then shook her head and said: "You are wrong. To whom the soul song is passed on, qualifications are one thing, but the most important thing is the characterit doesn't count when you are too young, you remember When you were ten years old, you went to your neighbor's house to steal bacon because the neighbor's rooster pecked your leg. You pushed it into the water and drowned it, and then falsely claimed that you saw it was Shen Ke who did it? That day, Shen Ke followed me Went to the mountains to collect herbs"
Xiaoqiu sneered and said: "Ha, just because of this trivial matter, you won't pass on my soul song. What do you know about a ten-year-old child? Aren't I afraid of causing your dissatisfaction?"
Mrs. An ignored him and continued: "After that incident, I gave you several opportunities, hoping that you would confess. You know the result yourself, so I won't say more Yes, this matter is not counted. It's a big deal. You have a stronger self-esteem. Even if you don't say it and quietly change it later, it doesn't matter. It's a pity When you were fourteen years old, the pretty girl from the village head Zhang's family almost hanged herself. She didn't dare to tell others. , do you think you did it flawlessly?"
Xiaoqiu stared at her coldly and said: "Have you finished? Do you know why I did such a thing? Isn't it forced by you? I like Xiaoya, can't you see it? But you still You promised her to your son! Have you ever considered my feelings? Ah!"
Mrs. An raised her head and said: "You still haven't admitted that you like Xiaoya, but does she like you? If she likes you, can we stop her? What is your character? You three are together every day, Xiaoya can¡¯t see it?¡±
Xiaoqiu pointed at Mrs. An and said angrily: "Shut up!"
Mrs. An shed tears again and said: "Since you like Xiaoya, you hate me and Shen Ke, but why don't you let her go? What a good child"
Xiao Qiu smiled sinisterly, clapped her hands with the scabbard, and said, "If you want to blame her, blame her for not knowing how to appreciate someone. Blame her for only liking that pretty face of Shen Ke but not being able to see my sincerity!"
Mrs. An couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and said angrily: ¡°Beast!¡±
Xiaoqiu turned cold, pointed forward with the knife, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, I will give you another chance, go and get the secret book, I will let you go, otherwise, who am I and what do I do? You must know it too!¡±
Zhao Yang then answered: "Who you are and what you do, these are not important. Now that you are here, don't leave!"
Xiaoqiu's brows jumped, and she observed and listened attentively. After finding no abnormality again, she calmed down, pointed at Zhao Yang and said: "Now take out the secret book, and if you cut off one of your hands, I will spare your life." Life!"
Mrs. An turned around, looked at Zhao Yang, and said solemnly: "Zhao Yang, you are the nineteenth generation successor of my Soul Medicine Sect. Now you come to clean up the door and clear away the filth for our Soul Medicine Sect!"
