Chapter 4 Butterfly

"Can I have a name?" She looked at him eagerly, "You will be my master from now on, please give me a name." "Name?" he repeated, a little absent-minded, as if he didn't understand what she meant, when he saw a cicada, dead in the snow and ice, hiding on a tree hanging.Icicles envelop it like amber and set it among the branches. Didn't the cicadas stop singing in autumn?But no one could understand why this one lived until the cold and windy winter, and made its coffin with a piece of exquisite and translucent ice, just like an ice sculpture carefully carved by a jade craftsman.

Su Muzhe stared at the cicada for a long time, then said thoughtfully: "Or you can call it a name like Bing Chan, Xue Bing Chan." He gave her a first name and a last name at the same time.This surprised her, but she was also a little disappointed, because he didn't give her his last name. Maybe, she would rather be called Su Bingchan. However, he didn't give her the surname Su like he did to his other servants. Does this mean that he respects her and doesn't treat her like an ordinary servant? Bingchan smiled gratefully, and buried her face in the snow-white fur collar he put on for her.

She drinks the horse for him, and he redeems his body for her.He gave her a name, but asked for her soul. What kind of entanglement? Su Mu felt cold and turned over in his dream. There are water drops on the face, is it the tears of Bing Chan?He opened his eyes, but couldn't help but close them immediately.Still dreaming?How could you see exposed beams and cobwebs? At the same time, he felt very hard and cold under his body, and his limbs ached everywhere. Moreover, there was wind blowing from all directions, and there was a "swiping" sound of sweeping the floor. He finally opened his eyes, how come?I was actually lying in a pavilion, lying on a bench in the pavilion!

What about Zhuyeqing?Those drunkards, even, what about the bar in the south of the city?Could everything that happened last night be Nankey Yimeng? The sound of "sweeping" was approaching. It was the uncle cleaning the park around the city. He looked at Su Mu kindly and said, "Young man, go back to sleep. It's very cold here." Su Mu sat up and shook his head vigorously, a little dizzy, the stamina of "memory" was really strong.He gradually remembered everything from last night, he drank with Zhuyeqing, saw a sad story in the crystal ball, the more the crystal ball talked, the more he drank, and finally passed out.Then, after he was drunk, did he come to this gazebo by himself, or did Zhuyeqing throw him here?

"Master, how far is it from Chengnan Bar?" "Chengnan Bar? I haven't heard of it." The uncle shook his head and continued to scan all the way.There was a wind, and the fallen leaves that had just been swept away were blown away again, and they flew back. Su Mu stood up and walked out of the city, feeling in a daze. Xue Bingchan walked into the Su residence. It is not the same as what Su Muzhe said: there are three hundred people in the Su residence, and none of them is a woman.In fact, there are many servants in the Su residence. Sweeping the courtyard, pounding rice and doing laundry are all tasks performed by women.It's just that, in Su Muzhe's mind, he never regarded these women as women.

In his heart, apart from gambling and swords, he never even regarded anyone as a human being. That's why, apart from being ruthless by nature, it's also because he has a friend with supernatural powers—the female snake Zhuyeqing. In Zhuyeqing's previous life, the characteristics of a woman were not very obvious, her face was abrupt, her movements had a fishy smell, and she walked in a zigzag shape. In order to wrap herself around this flamboyant body, she wished she could wrap herself into a bun from head to toe. Strictly, only one face was exposed. Zhuyeqing gave him a mirror, old and uneven, and she let him look at all the people in the mirror, and then people changed their appearance, nothing more than snakes, rats, insects, wolves, tigers and leopards, Zhuyeqing herself is a snake-like person.The waist is too soft, but the eyes are slack and unable to concentrate. When talking, they can't control themselves from looking around, and the neck and neck are so flexible that it is annoying.

"I am a man who has cultivated a thousand years of snake essence. Although I am not a real person, I am much nobler than those who have a human form but a snake heart," Zhuyeqing said. "I am willing to help you because you are a real person." Su Muzhe looked at himself in the mirror, he was handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, it was still Su Muzhe. He couldn't help feeling proud. With this mirror, he has added three points of confidence when dealing with opponents, because any animal has the unchangeable animal nature before his transformation, and the defects of that nature flow in their blood, dooming them to failure .

Man is always the spirit of all things. As long as Su Muzhe knows what kind of animal his opponent is, he can guess where the animal's innate fatal injury is. They are either bluffing, or pretending to be powerful, or greedy and conservative, and easily lose the big because of small things, or they are too happy to make big mistakes. Advancing blindly... He saw through them, so soldiers came to block them, cover them with water and earth, and let the opponents lay out mysteries, but he had his own clever plan to meet them. But this time Taishan Grand Competition is unusual, the top players in the gambling world are gathered here, he has already detected that there are at least ten people who are just like him, they are out-and-out people.He is equal to all of them, completely blind to their faults.Therefore, he has absolutely no certainty of victory.

The world is an infinite circle, and the ultimate principle is circulation.When humans and animals are compared in terms of intelligence, humans win; when humans are compared with humans in terms of intelligence, it may be just the opposite, the person without humanity wins. Today's Su Muzhe wants to be the most ruthless and sexless person in the world, and practice martial arts with no love and righteousness in the world. He lingered on the edge of the Wei River, chanting nonstop: "The Immortal throws six chopsticks, facing the corner of Mount Botai." This is Cao Zhi's poem "Immortal Chapter", which is about the game of six games.From this, Xue Bingchan knew that Su Muzhe was worried about Dabi's affairs, and at the same time, this worry let her know that he had no confidence in victory.I met Su Muzhe because of Bosai back then, but now, do I have to leave because of Bosai again?

Xue Bingchan shuddered... Su Mu shuddered, not daring to think about it.He knew that what followed was the scene he saw in Zhuyeqing's crystal ball: he whipped Xue Bingchan, and Bingchan drank Wangqing San for him... He dare not think! The story of Su Muzhe and Xue Bingchan in his previous life shocked and moved him.In the past, he owed her so much and failed her so much, that's why he had all kinds of tribulations in this life.Unless she remembers all the past and forgives the sins he committed against her, his debts will be paid, his sins forgiven, his luck will be good, and his sins will be over.

Seeing Xue Bingchan, he would definitely say "sorry" to her immediately.She might be surprised, but he would ask her to finish listening to the story about Wangqingsan and Meng Potang, and then sincerely ask for forgiveness, give him a chance to start over, let him make friends with her, and start from scratch.During the relationship, she will slowly remember everything, and will forgive Su Mucha in the previous life because of the Su Mu in this life, so his bad luck will end from then on.He will not be complacent when good luck comes, he will share it with her, and repay what he owed her in this life double, as long as she is willing to accept... He seemed to see Xue Bingchan smiling with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't tell whether the one smiling in tears was the gentle and gentle maid Xue Bingchan from the past, or the shrewd and capable female president Xue Jingli? Su Mu came to the Bingchan Building early. Unexpectedly, yesterday's enthusiastic and enthusiastic sales lady changed her usual professional smile, her face was covered with frost, and she looked at each other coldly: "You really dare to come? You caused me to be scolded by Manager Xue! What kind of sales manager?" ?Our manager Xue found out after a phone call. Your factory has no plan to buy a house at all, and you have been fired, and you are still cheating people around with your business card. It is a 'clear deception'. I don’t call the police. It’s too much for you Save face. Don't come here to embarrass yourself again!" From childhood to adulthood, he has been declining, but it was the first time that Yu Su Mu was scolded so badly by someone. He was sweating profusely, ashamed, and wished he could just find a crack to get in. The lady also said: "Manager Xue has ordered that she will not see you, and she will never allow you to step into the Bingchan Building again, otherwise she will immediately call the police and arrest you." Really underestimated Xue Bingchan.As soon as she saw the business card, she already guessed that there is no sales manager in charge of buying a house, and when buying such a big deal of 20 sets, at least a deputy general manager should come forward.It was rare for her to be careful, and actually did a research in advance according to the phone number on the business card.He is so cautious and decisive in doing things, and his efficiency is so high, no wonder he can be the general manager of a real estate company.How is the distance between me and her so different? Su Mu feels desperate, why can he see Xue Bingchan?Simply even the road ahead is blocked.If I had known earlier, I might as well have said it with a clear heart, now it is good, before we have left such a bad impression when we meet, what chance is there to redeem it? I simply don't know how I got out of the Bingchan Building, it's so embarrassing and embarrassing! A burst of weeping Xun melody came, as if it came from the ground. Is it the groaning of countless innocent souls who cannot be reincarnated, or the unreconciled long songs of unsuccessful demons crying in the wind? However, in fact, it was just a recording at the corner of the square. Zhuyeqing was performing arts there again. This time, she disguised herself as a gypsy girl, with colorful hair, messy skirts, ears, noses, navels, jingling sequins, stars, keys, snakes, It looks painfully gorgeous. There is also a kind of prophetic pain on her face, as if she is sympathetic to others, and also seems to be preached by a believer—she is selling astrology poker cards to passers-by. You can get the answer to what you want by knowing your own zodiac sign. There are many onlookers.Who doesn't want to know what's in the future?In the vast sea of ​​people, no sooner or later, you only met him and fell in love with him, is it fate or coincidence?Is it flying to Yanfu or doomed? Everyone wants to know. Su Mu stepped forward, listlessly, and said hello: "Hi." Things were too bad, and he didn't expect her to help him, but it would be nice to ask for a drink. But Zhuyeqing ignored her, as if she didn't know her, and didn't seem to hear her.Without turning her head, she just explained the marriage to an employer with a glib tongue: "Don't worry, lady, you said that you have been in love with your boyfriend for three years, but you have always stayed on the boundary line between a friend and a lover. There is a reason for this, and I will tell you everything. You see, your birthday is November 6th, a Scorpio, and his birthday is April 23rd, a Taurus..." "Hey, I woke up today and found myself in the gazebo, did you throw me there?" Su Mu asked. Zhu Yeqing turned a deaf ear to it, and Gu Zi talked endlessly: "... Taurus originally means the House of Wealth, such a person puts the value of money above everything else, sacrifices everything for profit, is suspicious, and it is the most difficult to enter the love mode , you must first give him a sense of economic security before he considers things like feelings that are full of variables..." "I asked the old man sweeping the park. He said that there is no place like Chengnan Bar. What the hell did you take me into last night?" "...and Scorpio means 'transformation' in Arabic. A typical pessimist always sees the world with pessimistic eyes. He feels sad and hurt before he gets emotionally involved. How can such a person feel hurt? Will you have the courage to take the initiative to show love? Therefore, it is very important who takes the initiative first when people of these two constellations are in a relationship..." Such eloquence and eloquence made the mediocre old lady nod her head again and again with a look of admiration on her face, she barely bowed down to Zhuye Qingna and shouted, "Master, save me!" "Hey, did you listen to me?" Su Mu felt annoyed. It was obvious that the snake man provoked all this, but now she was killed, and she seemed to be fine. She didn't even have a word of comfort, which was too dishonest. However, before Zhuyeqing could answer, the fortune-teller was in a hurry. She was fascinated by Su Mu's repeated interruptions, and she was very dissatisfied with Su Mu's repeated interruptions: "I want to queue up for fortune-telling, why are you arguing?" Su Mu was about to make trouble, and he had better get into a fight with someone to vent his depression, so he simply put on an arrogant look and deliberately found trouble: "Is it so clever? I will also draw a card to figure it out. After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, drew one of the playing cards in his hand, and said, "Come on, what is it for me?" The cards were turned over, and before they could see the face of the cards, Su Mu suddenly felt that his hand was empty, and the card had already ignited and ignited spontaneously, and blue flames came out.Su Mu was startled, and quickly let go. The cards were still in the air, and before they fell, they were already burned to ashes, turned into a cloud of green smoke, and drifted away. Everyone was in an uproar, and Su Mu felt his heart shake, and all thoughts were lost.At the moment, I just wish I could turn into a puff of green smoke and disperse with the wind. The people in the high-rise buildings and squares in front of me suddenly receded like a tide, and what was forced in front of them was a huge fire, passing through the vicissitudes of a century of vicissitudes, and burning vigorously in Su Mu's heart... Nuan Pavilion embroidered quilt, jade pillow and bead curtain.Xue Bingchan was lying on her back on the flower bed, unconscious, as if she was in a deep sleep. Su Muzhe came in and used a straw dipped in nectar to spit it mouth-to-mouth to keep her alive. Then, he made her sit upright, palms together, and began to practice. It has been more than half a year since Bingchan has become a "martial arts media".In the past six months, Su Muzhe had to clean up all her board and lodging by herself, because she was his psychic who practiced kung fu and depended on his existence.In other words, she is him. He has become the only medium for her to communicate with the outside world. In addition to her being his "army matchmaker", he is also her "biological matchmaker". Xiao Zhoutian had just practiced his skills for a week, when suddenly he heard commotion outside the house: "It's flooded! It's flooded!" He raised his head suddenly, and saw the flames shooting up to the sky outside the window, brightly reflecting the night. The old servant knocked on the door in panic: "My lord, it's not good, it's flooded!" Su Muzhe hurried out with his clothes on, and asked loudly, "Where did the fire start?" "It's the wine shop. Someone lit the wine shop!" In the light of the fire, there was only the sound of the wine urn exploding. The wind helped the fire to burn even more fiercely. Seeing that it could not be saved, it was already approaching the wing room.Su Muzhe made a decisive decision: "Don't save it, block off the Wending Tower immediately, and don't let the fire spread." "Aspiration Building" is the warehouse of the Su Mansion.All the valuables of the Su family are here, including the collection of gambling equipment that Su Muzhe has collected from all over the country over the years-others can be burned, but the set of Yuzi Go played by Yiqiu during the Warring States Period; The game where the prince was killed by the crown prince because of his struggle for power; King Wuqiu Shou of the Han Dynasty "waited for the imperial edict with five good characters" to present the emperor's five characters... which one is not unique and invaluable? Su Mu covered everything, looked down on the world, and considered himself the supreme martial artist, so he named his treasure house "Wending Building", which means "Winning the Central Plains".As early as the beginning of its establishment, it has followed the pattern of yin and yang and five elements. The brick house, stone gate, copper wall and iron wall have no trace of wood entanglement. Just keep pouring water on the wall to prevent it from being overheated and burst, and it will not be destroyed. At present, all the servants pulled their clothes and stomped their feet, evacuating, splashing water, busy and orderly.Su Muzhe ran around commanding, calm and unhurried, but did not see that when the fire illuminated the western sky, there was an unseasonable butterfly, flapping its wings, hovering over the fire field for a long time, and finally flew away... It was not until the middle of the night that the fire gradually extinguished.Although the wing of the winery was completely destroyed, fortunately no one was injured, and more than half of the frightened horses and livestock were recovered. Although the loss was huge, it was limited after all. Su Muzhe ordered everyone to go to the inn in the town to rest first, leaving only a few mature servants with high martial arts skills to guard the "Wending Building", and told them to set off fireworks immediately to report if there was any change. Nothing to say all night. When it was cold the next day, Su Mu covered the storeroom and took out the gold and silver. He dispersed most of his family members and took the coins to make a living by themselves.A small half stayed behind to rebuild their homeland, while they lightened their furs and horses, temporarily avoiding the comeback of their enemies. It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly remembered: Xue Bingchan was still on the scene of the fire and hadn't been rescued, and she died together with the Su Mansion, completely wiped out... "Retribution, retribution." Su Mu murmured, heartbroken like burning.Xue Bingchan died in the fire like this, not even leaving her ashes.She donated the last drop of blood for the Su family.Su Muzha, how cruel? ! Su Mu felt cold.The memory of his previous life came up little by little, and every time he remembered it, his confession became more serious.For what he did to Xue Bingchan in the previous life, no punishment can be too much in this life.He really should have sent himself in front of Xue Bingchan, and let her be cut into pieces. At this moment, he saw a heartbroken figure—Xue Bingchan came out of Bingchan Building. "Xuebingchan!" Su Mu yelled, and rushed across the street without thinking, grabbing the sleeve of Xuebingchan who was about to get into the car. "you listen to me--" "Who?" Xue Bingchan shook off her sleeves, her face full of displeasure. The security guards immediately surrounded them to protect their Manager Xue. They looked at Su Mu like they were looking at a dog on the side of the road: "Who is it? If you don't make an appointment at the office, what are you doing here?"
