Chapter 8 Seventh time, the sky is full of dark clouds

The windows were closed, and the room was very dark. When the raindrops hit the roof and the windows, it was like drums and thunder, and thousands of horses galloping. Ye Kai sat obliquely, stretched his legs, looked at his worn-out boots, sighed, and murmured, "It's raining heavily." Xiao Bieli carefully turned over the last domino, stared at it for a long time, then turned around and smiled and said, "It rarely rains in this place." Ye Kai pondered, and said: "Maybe it's because it rarely rains, so it's very heavy all at once." Xiao Bieli nodded, listened to the sound of rain outside the window, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, saying: "This rain is really not at the right time."

Ye Kai said: "Why?" Xiao Bieli said: "Today is the day when they come to the town once a month to buy needles, thread and pollen." Ye Kai said: "They? Who are they?" Xiao Bieli had a smile in his eyes, and said: "Among them, there is always one you really want to see." Ye Kai understood, but still asked: "How do you know that I really want to see her?" Xiao Bieli smiled and said, "I can see it." Ye Kai said: "What do you think?" Xiao Bieli caressed the dominoes on the table, and said slowly: "Maybe you don't believe it, but I can always see a lot of things from it."

Ye Kai said: "What else did you see?" Xiao Bieli stared at the dominoes, his face gradually became heavy, and his eyes revealed a gloomy look. He said slowly: "I also saw a dark cloud, covering the Wanmatang. There is a knife in the dark cloud, dripping blood..." He suddenly raised his head, stared at Ye Kai, and said in a deep voice, "Did some ominous murders happen in Wanmatang last night?" Ye Kai seemed to be stunned, and after a long time, he forced a smile and said: "You should change your career to tell fortunes for others." Xiao Bieli sighed and said: "It's a pity that I can only see other people's disasters, but I can't see other people's good fortune."

Ye Kai said: "You...you didn't read it for me?" Xiao Bieli said, "You want to listen to the truth?" Ye Kai said: "Of course." Xiao Bieli's gaze suddenly became very empty, as if he was staring into the distance, and said: "You also have a dark cloud above your head, obviously you also have a lot of troubles." Ye laughed and said, "I seem to be a troubled person?" Xiao Bieli said: "These troubles may not be yours, but you are born as a person, as if you have many other people's troubles entangled with you, and you can't get rid of them."

Ye Kai seemed to be a little forced to laugh, and forced a smile: "Is there a knife in the dark cloud?" Xiao Bieli said: "Because you have many noble people in your life, no matter what happens, you can turn bad luck into good luck." Ye Kai said: "My lord?" Xiao Bieli said: "A nobleman means someone who likes you and can help you, for example..." Ye Kai said: "For example, you?" Xiao Bieli smiled, shook his head and said: "Most of the nobles you hit are women, such as Cui Nong!" He looked at the bead flower on Ye Kai's lapel, and said with a smile: "She was waiting for you last night, why didn't you go find her?"

Ye Kai laughed, and said: "The head of the bed is full of money, and the strong man has no face. Since he will be kicked out sooner or later, why should he go?" Xiao Bieli said, "You are wrong." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said: "Women in this place may not all worship money." Ye Kai said: "I would rather they be like this." Xiao Bieli said, "Why?" Ye Kaidao: "This way, there will be nothing to worry about, and there will be no worries." Ye Kai said: "That's right." Xiao Bieli said: "Do you mean that those who have feelings have troubles?"

Ye Kai said: "That's right." Xiao Bieli smiled and said: "You are wrong again. If a person has no worries at all, life may not be interesting." Ye Kai said with a smile: "I'd rather sit here, unless there are no guests here during the day." Xiao Bieli said: "You are an exception, you can come whenever you want, and sit for as long as you want, but I..." He suddenly sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm old and my energy is exhausted. When it's time to sleep, I feel like I'm about to collapse." Ye Kai said: "You haven't slept yet."

Xiao Bieli smiled sadly, and said leisurely: "The old man is always reluctant to sleep more, because he knows that there is not much time left, not to mention that I am a night owl." He picked up the crutch beside the chair, put it under his ribs, stood up slowly, and suddenly smiled again: "Maybe the rain will stop at noon, maybe you will see her." Xiao Bieli has already gone to the small building. He stood up, only to find that the hem of his gown was empty, and both legs had been cut off at the knee.How did the legs get cut off?for what? Anyone can see that if he is not a very ordinary person, why would he come to this deserted town to do such a disgraceful business?

Does he want to use this to hide his past, is there really a mysterious power that can predict other people's disasters? Ye Kai was contemplating, and when he saw the dominoes on the table, he couldn't help but walked over and reached out to touch them.Suddenly, he realized that the dominoes were not bones, but made of pure steel. Only the sound of dry coughing could be heard faintly from upstairs. Ye Kai sighed, feeling that he was really a very mysterious person, every word he said seemed to have some kind of very mysterious meaning, every thing he did seemed to have some kind of very mysterious purpose , even the small upstairs where he lives may hide some secrets that no one knows.

Ye Kai looked at the narrow and sloping stairs, and suddenly smiled again. He thought the place was really interesting. noon. Sure enough, the rain stopped, and Ye Kai walked across the muddy street to the grocery store diagonally opposite.The boss of the grocery catcher is a very optimistic middle-aged man with a round face, no matter who he sees, he always smiles. When others want to pay a few cents less and grab two more handfuls of beans, he always smiles and says, "Well, let's forget about it, anyway, we are all neighbors in the neighborhood." His surname is Li, so others call him Li Sloppy.

Ye Kai recognized Li Mahu, but forgot to check if the grocery store sold needles, thread and pollen. At noon, it is also the time when everyone is eating, so there are always few people in the grocery store at this time. Li Mahu was dozing off on the counter as usual. Ye Kai didn't want to disturb him, and was looking around, when suddenly he heard a car rattling and horse neighing, a large carriage speeding across the long street. The body is as black as a mirror, and the eight horses pulling the cart are also well-trained horses. Ye Kai recognized that this car was the one who came to pick him up to Wanmatang yesterday, who is sitting in this car now? He was about to rush out to have a look, when someone behind him said with a smile: "It must be that Wanmatang's aunt and eldest lady are out shopping again, but I don't know if they want eggs today." Ye Kai laughed and said, "They're not the shopkeepers in the kitchen, what do they want eggs for?" When he turned around, he found that Li Mahu had woken up at some point, and was looking at him with a smile, and said, "You don't understand, women wash their faces with eggs, and the more they wash, the younger they look." Ye Kai laughed and said, "Does your wife wash her face with eggs every day?" Li Mahu pursed his lips and said with a sneer: "Her, even if she washes her face with three hundred catties of eggs every day, she still has orange peels all over her face—and dried orange peels." He suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled again, and said in a low voice: "But those two from Wanmatang are really beauties like daffodils, sir, if you are lucky enough to..." Suddenly a child's voice was heard outside the door and said loudly: "Li Mahu, what are you chewing on?" Li Mahu glanced at the door, his face immediately changed, and he smiled apologetically, "It's nothing, I'm thinking of making candied haws for you, young master." A child stood outside the door with his hands on his hips, staring into his black eyes, and his clothes were redder than candied haws. Although he is young, he is not small in style. When Li Mahu saw him, his face turned pale with fright. But when he saw Ye Kai was also in the store, his face turned pale with fright, and he turned around and wanted to slip away. Ye Kai immediately chased him out, grabbed his braid, and said with a smile, "Don't say you're a little tiger, even if you're a little fox, you won't be able to escape." Little Huzi seemed a little anxious, and said loudly, "I don't know you, what do you want me for?" Ye Kai said: "Didn't you recognize me in the morning? Why don't you recognize me all of a sudden now?" Little Huzi blushed and wanted to scream again. Ye Kai said: "Be obedient and obedient, I will buy you as many candied haws as you want, otherwise I will tell your father and fourth uncle that you were lying this morning." Little Huzi was even more anxious, blushing, and said, "I... what did I lie about?" Ye Kai lowered his voice, and said: "You fell asleep long ago last night, you didn't come out at all, and you didn't hide under your sister's horse belly, right?" Little Huzi rolled his eyes, giggled and said, "That's just a favor I want to help you." Ye Kai said: "Who taught you to say that?" Little Huzi said: "No one, it's me..." Ye Kai lowered his face and said, "If you don't tell me, I have no choice but to take you back and hand you over to your father." Little Huzi's face turned pale with fright again, as soon as the child heard about his father, he immediately became honest, lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll tell you if I tell you, my third aunt taught me to say it." Ye Kai was taken aback, and said: "Your third aunt? Is it the person who dragged you away this morning?" Little Huzi nodded. Ye Kai frowned and said, "How does she know that I was with your sister last night?" Little Huzi pursed his lips and said, "How do I know? Why didn't you ask her?" Ye Kai had no choice but to let go of his hand, and the child immediately fled away like a smoke.After fleeing to the opposite side of the street, I turned around, made a grimace, and said with a smile: "You can ask her, but you can't hug her like my sister, or my father will be jealous." Before he could finish speaking, his people had slipped into a silk shop on the corner of the street. Ye Kai frowned, thinking. This incident was obviously out of his expectation. Who is the "third aunt", and how did she know what he did last night?Why do you want to save him? He couldn't figure it out, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw the third aunt coming out of the silk shop opposite. She is still dressed very simply and elegantly, she is dressed in white clothes like snow, neither makeup nor decoration, but she has a charming charm that makes people drunk without drinking. When Ye Kai looked at her, she also glanced at Ye Kai with a pair of bright eyes like a god, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and she seemed to smile at Ye Kai. No one can describe the smile. Ye Kai seemed to be a little crazy, and after a while, he realized that there were still two eyes staring at him beside her. These eyes were originally clear, but now they are shrouded in a layer of mist, a layer of veil. Is it because she didn't sleep well last night?Or because she just cried? Ye Kai's heart jumped again, very fast. Ma Fangling looked at him tenderly, and secretly winked at him. Ye Kai nodded immediately. Only then did Ma Fangling lower her neck and secretly smiled, a red cloud flew over her face. They don't need to talk. He already understood her feelings with just a wink; he already knew her meaning with just a wink. Why should they talk? The small building was silent, and the scattered dominoes on the table had been cleaned up by someone. The window was open, but the room was still dark. Ye Kai sat down on the original chair again and waited quietly. He understood what Ma Fangling meant, but he really didn't understand what that "third aunt" meant. Ma Kongqun's wife had passed away, so a man like him would certainly not lack women by his side. Only a woman like her is worthy of a man like him. Ye Kai had guessed her identity, but he couldn't understand what she meant. Especially that smile. Ye Kai sighed, and didn't want to think about it anymore... If he thinks about it any longer, he will feel sorry for Ma Fangling. But that smile is unforgettable. What are they doing now?Did you buy eggs at the grocery store? Does a woman really look younger after washing her face with eggs? Ye Kai concentrated his attention and tried his best to think about some irrelevant things, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't do without the two of them. Fortunately, at this moment, the door was gently pushed open. Of course it was Ma Fangling. Just as Ye Kai was about to stand up, his heart sank. It wasn't Ma Fangling who came, but Yun Zaitian—Ye Kai secretly sighed, knowing that it would be very difficult to see Ma Fangling again today. Yun Zaitian was obviously surprised to see him here, but since he has already entered, how can he go out again? Ye Kai suddenly smiled and said: "Did you come to find Miss Cui Nong? Do you want to ask her why you gave this pearl flower to someone else?" Yun Zaitian coughed dryly twice, but without saying a word, he found a chair and sat down. Ye Kai laughed and said, "It's only natural for a man to find a woman. Why don't you go in?" Yun Zaitian's expression had gradually regained his composure, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm here to find someone, but not her!" Ye Kai said, "Who are you looking for?" Yun Zaitian said: "Fu Hongxue." Ye Kai said: "Why are you looking for him?" Yun Zaitian sullenly refused to answer. Ye Kai said: "Is he still staying in Wanmatang?" Yun Zaitian said: "It's gone." Ye Kai said: "When did you leave?" Yun Zaitian said: "Morning!" Ye Kai frowned and said, "Since he left in the morning, why didn't I see him come back to town?" Yun Zaitian also frowned, and said, "Where are the others?" Ye Kai said: "The others haven't come back either. There is nowhere to go here. If they come back, I will definitely see them." Yun Zaitian's expression changed a little, he raised his head, and glanced at the small building. Ye Kai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Boss Xiao is upstairs, do you want to ask him?" Yun Zaitian hesitated, then suddenly stood up, pushed the door and walked out. At this time, a dozen large carts pulled by mules were slowly walking up the long street from outside the town. The carts were loaded with coffins, and each cart contained four brand new coffins. A hunchback with a pale complexion was wearing a brand-new set of blue clothes, riding a black donkey, and walking beside the carriage. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had been lying in a coffin all year round and could not see the sun. Whoever saw so many coffins being brought into town could not help being surprised. Yun Zaitian was no exception, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are these coffins sent?" The hunchback looked him up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, "Looking at the way this old man is dressed, could it be that he is from the Wanma Hall?" Yun Zaitian said: "Exactly." The hunchback said: "These coffins are also going to be sent to Wanmatang." Yun Zaitian changed color and said, "Who asked you to send it?" The hunchback smiled apologetically, "Of course he was the one who paid. He ordered a total of 100 coffins, and the shop is processing them day and night..." Yun Zaitian didn't wait for him to finish, he rushed over, dragged him off the horse, and said sharply, "What kind of person is that?" The hunchback's face became even paler with fright, and he stammered, "Yes...it's a woman." Yun Zaitian was startled, and said, "What kind of woman is she?" The hunchback said: "It's an old woman." Yun Zaitian was startled again, and said: "Where do you come from, where is this old woman?" The hunchback said: "She also came with us, and she's just... lying in the coffin on the first car." Yun Zaitian sneered and said, "Lying in the coffin, could it be a dead person?" The hunchback said: "He's not dead yet, he just lay down to hide from the rain, and must have fallen asleep afterwards." In the first car, there was indeed a coffin with a false lid, leaving a gap for ventilation. Yun Zaitian sneered, let go of the hunchback, walked over step by step, and suddenly made a lightning strike and lifted the coffin lid... Sure enough, there was a person in the coffin, but it was neither a woman nor a living person! In the coffin lay a dead man, a dead man. This man was dressed in black clothes, with a green beard, the blood on the corner of his mouth had congealed, and his face was distorted. Other than that, there were no other injuries on his body, obviously he was injured by internal force. Die from the internal organs. Ye Kai stood high on the stone steps, happened to see his face, and couldn't help but shouted: "Flying spider!" Of course he was not mistaken, this corpse was indeed a flying spider. The flying spider is dead here, what about Fu Hongxue, Le Leshan, and Murong Mingzhu? They had left Wanmatang at the same time, how could the corpse of the flying spider appear in this coffin? Yun Zaitian turned around slowly, stared at the hunchback, and said word by word: "This person is not an old woman!" The hunchback trembled all over, reluctantly nodded, and said, "No...no." Yun Zaitian said: "Where is the old woman you are talking about?" The hunchback shook his head and said, "I don't know." The driver of the second car suddenly hissed: "I don't know, I was in front." Yun Zaitian said: "How could you walk ahead?" The coachman said: "This car was originally the last one, but later we found out that we were going the wrong way, so we turned around and the last car became the front one." Yun Zaitian sneered and said, "No matter how it changes, the old woman will not become a dead man. What do you think is going on?" The hunchback desperately shook his head, and said, "The villain really doesn't know." Yun Zaitian sternly said, "If you don't know, who would?" With a flash of his figure, he shot out suddenly, his five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed the hunchback's right shoulder lute bone. The hunchback was originally as thin as a wind ball hanging on a bamboo pole. When Yun Zaitian made a move, he suddenly stopped shaking, and his footsteps slipped. He was already behind Yun Zaitian's right side, and he turned his palm and slashed Yun Zaitian's shoulder slantingly. bone. Not only did this move become faster, but also the timing and position of the move were extremely accurate, and the palm style was also extremely strong and powerful. Just by looking at this shot, one can tell that he has been working on these palms for at least thirty years. Yun Zaitian sneered and said, "Sure enough, there are two tricks!" With these six words, he has changed his posture twice, and he has made five moves with his fists! His kung fu is known for light and quick changes, this time his body moves, although he hasn't fully shown his power, but the sudden and rapid changes of his moves are already hard to resist. The hunchback laughed, and said, "Okay, sure enough, you have some tricks!" Amidst the laughter, his body suddenly turned like a spinning top, and he flew into the sky, onto the opposite roof. As soon as he attacked with one move, he changed his move as soon as he said he wanted to, and left as soon as he said he wanted to. His movement skills were surprisingly fast. It's a pity that his opponent is the "Yuntian Flying Dragon" who is famous all over the world for his light achievements! His figure flew up, and Yun Zaitian's person jumped up like light smoke, his five fingers were like eagle claws, and he grabbed the hump on his back. With a "hiss", a piece of the brand new blue cloth shirt on his back was torn off, revealing a dazzling golden light. Then, there was another "choking" sound, and three cold stars burst out from his golden hump, hitting Yun Zaitian's chest urgently. Yun Zaitian let out a clear whistle, and turned over in the air, "pushing out the window to look at the moon and flying clouds", and the person was already on the other side of the roof. Rao is because of his exquisite lightness kung fu and extremely quick movement, the three cold stars just brushed past his clothes. Looking at the hunchback again, it was already outside the seven or eight roof ridges, and the golden peaks on the hunchback flashed again, and they were no longer visible. Yun Zaitian jumped down, but he stopped chasing him. Cold sweat appeared on his livid face. He watched his figure disappear, and suddenly heaved a long sigh, and murmured: "I never thought that the 'golden-backed camel god' Ding Qiu It will appear in the frontier again." Ye Kai also sighed, shook his head and said, "I never thought it was him!" Yun Zaitian said in a deep voice, "You also know this person?" Ye Kai said indifferently: "I don't know how many people are in the rivers and lakes?" Yun Zaitian stopped talking, but his face was serious. Ye Kaidao: "This person has disappeared for more than ten years, why is he sending so many coffins all of a sudden? Could it be that he is also related to your enemies?" Yun Zaitian still didn't speak. Ye Kai asked again: "Could it be that he killed the flying spider? What was it for?" Yun Zaitian glanced at him, and said coldly: "I originally wanted to ask you this question." Ye Kai said: "You ask me, who should I ask?" He suddenly smiled, moved his eyes to the end of the long street, and murmured: "Maybe I should ask him."
