Chapter 18 Chapter 17 The Mysterious Old Woman

At the entrance of the alley, there was a red note for rent. Fu Hongxue walked over, and saw the white-haired old woman standing at the entrance of the alley, staring at him with a pair of sly and disgusting eyes. The old woman did not appear to be his friend either. Fu Hongxue said: "Please make way." The old woman said, "Why do you have to give way?" Fu Hongxue said, "I want to go back." The old woman said: "I heard that you think this place is not good, and you have already moved. Where are you going back?" Fu Hongxue said, "Who said I've already moved?"

The old woman said, "I said so." Fu Hongxue frowned and said, "Who says I think this place is bad?" The old woman said: "It's not that you think this place is bad, it's that this place thinks you are bad." Fu Hongxue finally understood, so he didn't say anything, and there was no need to say any more. The old woman said: "I have delivered your baggage to the grocery store next door, and you can pick it up anytime." Fu Hongxue nodded. The old woman said: "There is still this ingot of silver, you should save it to buy a coffin for yourself."

She was already holding an ingot of silver in her hand, but at this moment she suddenly threw it out forcefully. Fu Hongxue could only reach out to pick it up. He didn't catch it. As soon as the silver flew out of the old woman's hand, it was suddenly hit back by something. One ingot of silver suddenly turned into dozens of needles. If it wasn't for something that flew over in mid-air that knocked it back, even if Fu Hongxue survived, this arm would definitely be useless. Now the silver needle is hitting the old woman herself. The old woman who had to lean on the wall when she was walking unexpectedly jumped up, flipped over in the air, and had already landed on the ridge of the roof.

She has revealed her hiding place and is ready to slip away. Unexpectedly, there was already someone waiting for her on the roof. Ye Kai had also skimmed onto the roof at some point, with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile. The old woman's face changed, and her sly eyes showed fear. She is not blind, of course she has already seen that Ye Kai is not an easy person to deal with. Ye Kai smiled and said, "Old lady, why did you suddenly become younger?" The old woman laughed twice and said: "It's not that you are young, it's that your bones are light. When I see a little white face like yours, my bones will become extremely light."

Ye Kai said lightly: "I heard that if the old man drank human blood, he would become younger." The old woman said, "You want me to drink your blood?" Ye Kai said: "Didn't you also drink Leleshan's blood just now?" The old woman grinned grimly and said, "That old man has too much wine in his blood, it's better to drink your blood." With a wave of her hand, two silver threads flew out from her sleeves, wrapping around Ye Kai's neck like a poisonous snake. The weapons she uses are not only strange, but also vicious. But Ye Kai is specialized in dealing with all kinds of vicious weapons.

He turned around suddenly, as if he felt something dark from his sleeve.With a ding, the silver thread suddenly disappeared. The old woman's bird-claw-like hands also seemed to stiffen suddenly. Ye Kai put his hands behind his back again, stood there, smiled and said: "What treasure do you have, why don't you use it together, so that I can see it." The old woman stared at him and said in a squeaky voice, "You... who are you?" Ye Kai said: "My surname is Ye, my name is Ye Kai, the leaf of the tree leaves, I am happy to open." He smiled again, and continued, "It's a pity that when I'm happy, you won't be happy."

The old woman didn't say anything anymore, she flipped up in the air again, and flew three or four feet away. Unexpectedly, as soon as she fell down, she found that Ye Kai was looking at her with a smile, like a little fox. The old woman sighed and said, "Okay, it's so easy." Ye Kai smiled and said: "It's not that lightness skills are good, it's just that the bones are light." The old woman smiled wryly, "It seems that your bones are lighter than mine." Before she could finish her sentence, the bird-claw-like hand suddenly attacked Ye Kai four times.

Her moves are equally strange and mysterious. But Ye Kai is specialized in dealing with all kinds of mysterious moves. His shot is neither strange nor weird.But very fast, unbelievably fast. As soon as the old woman's hand came out, she felt something stroke her veins lightly. Then she dropped her hands, unable to lift them up again. Ye Kai still stood there with his hands behind his back, smiling more happily than before. It's a pity that when he is happy, others are always unhappy. The old woman sighed and said, "I don't know you, why are you against me?" Ye Kai said: "Who said I want to fight against you?"

The old woman said, "Then what do you want?" Ye Kai said: "I just want to treat you to a glass of wine." The old woman was startled, and said, "Bring me a drink?" Ye Kaidao: "It's rare for me to invite someone to drink. It's a pity to miss this opportunity." The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "Where can I drink?" Ye Kai laughed and said, "Of course it's Xiao Bieli's store, where you can pay the bill." Fu Hongxue held the knife tightly in his hand. He was still standing there in the same posture as before, without even moving.

But his pale face was flushed with excitement. The old woman jumped down from the ridge of the roof, head down, and walked past him foolishly. Fu Hongxue didn't look at her, but suddenly said, "Wait a minute." The old woman stopped and waited, as if suddenly becoming very obedient. Fu Hongxue said: "I have killed someone before." The old woman listened. Fu Hongxue said, "I don't care about killing one more." The old woman's hands were already shaking. Ye Kai also rushed over and said with a smile: "Killing is like drinking, only the first glass is the most difficult to drink, if you can drink the first glass, of course you don't care if you drink a few more, but..."

Fu Hongxue said, "How about it?" Ye Kaidao: "Killing people is like drinking alcohol. If you drink too much, you will gradually become addicted." He looked at Fu Hongxue, smiled and continued, "It's better not to be addicted to this matter." Fu Hongxue said coldly, "I don't want to kill you." Ye Kai said: "You want to kill her?" Fu Hongxue said: "I originally only killed two types of people, but now there is one more type." Ye Kai said: "Which one?" Fu Hongxue said, "Those who want to kill me." Ye Kai nodded and said, "She wanted to kill you just now, but you want to kill her now, which is fair." Fu Hongxue said, "Get out of the way." Ye Kai said: "I can get out of the way, but you can't really kill her. Do you understand?" Fu Hongxue said, "Why?" Ye Kai laughed and said, "Because she didn't really kill you." Fu Hongxue looked at him, his pale face seemed to have gradually become transparent. After a long time, he said word by word: "Who are you? Huh?" Ye Kai laughed and said: "You all know who I am, why do you still ask me this sentence?" Fu Hongxue said, "I want to ask more clearly, just because I owe you something." Ye Kai said, "What do you owe me?" Fu Hongxue said, "I owe you my life." He turned around suddenly, and continued slowly: "I will pay you back this debt sooner or later, and you can ask me for it at any time." He took a step with his left foot first, followed by his right foot, which seemed to be heavier. Ye Kai suddenly felt that his back looked similar to Xiao Bieli's, and he also looked so lonely, so lonely. Maybe his situation is more dire because he has only one way to go. A road of no return. There is wine on the table. Ye Kai filled a cup for Xiao Bieli and another cup for the old woman, and said with a smile, "How is this place?" The old woman said: "Not bad." Ye Kai said, "Where's the wine?" The old woman said: "Not bad." Ye Kai said: "Then you should be grateful to me. If it wasn't for me, how could you come here to drink?" The old woman said, "Why not?" Ye Kai smiled, and then said: "This is a man's world. Although 'Heartbroken Needle' Granny Du is a well-known martial arts master, she is a woman." The old woman blinked and said, "I'm Granny Du?" Ye Kai said: "When I saw the heartbroken needle in Lele Mountain, I already thought it was you." The old woman sighed and said, "Good eyesight." Ye Kai smiled again and said, "But I have no intention of avenging him." The old woman said, "Oh?" Ye Kaidao: "I just want to ask you, why did you kill people for Wanmatang?" The old woman said: "Do you think I killed Wan Ma Tang for him?" Ye Kai nodded. The old woman said: "Because I was beside me at the time, and I was an old woman, so I must be Granny Du?" Ye Kai said with a smile: "Isn't this principle very simple?" The old woman said: "Of course Granny Du is not a man." Ye Kai said: "Of course not." The old woman suddenly smiled, very strangely. Ye Kai said: "You think this is ridiculous?" The old woman said: "It's only a little ridiculous." Ye Kai said: "Which point?" The old woman said, "I'm not Granny Du." Ye Kai said: "Aren't you?" The old woman smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being Granny Du, but it's a pity that I'm a man." Ye Kai was stunned.This old woman is really a man! She took off a delicate mask from her face, unbuttoned her skirt, and straightened her waist. The old woman suddenly turned into a thin, dry middle-aged man, and anyone could tell that she was a man. Ye Kai suddenly realized that his eyesight was not as good as he imagined. The man smiled and said leisurely: "Do you still want to check whether I am male or female?" Ye Kai sighed and said with a wry smile: "No need." The man said: "Of course Granny Du is not a man." Ye Kai said: "Of course not." The man said: "Then of course I am not Granny Du." Ye Kai said: "You are not." The man said: "Of course Le Leshan was not killed by me." Ye Kai can only admit that everyone knows that the "heartbroken needle" is Granny Du's unique hidden weapon! The man said, "I didn't really kill Fu Hongxue either." Ye Kai could only admit that Fu Hongxue was still alive. The man let out a long breath, raised his glass and drank it down, and said with a smile: "It really is good wine." He finished his glass of wine, stood up, turned and walked out. There seemed to be a sneering smile in Xiao Bieli's eyes again, and he said with a smile: "Please visit me again next time." The man also said with a smile: "Of course I will come. I heard that this place can pay bills, but I can't rent out those shabby houses." Ye Kai suddenly called out: "Ximen Chun." The man turned his head immediately. He still had a smile on his face, but when he turned around, his expression changed. A smile has reached Ye Kai's face. When he is happy, others are usually not too happy. The man obviously wanted to smile again, but the muscles on his face were almost completely stiff. Ye Kai smiled and said: "Since the wine is good, why don't Mr. Ximen drink a few more glasses before leaving?" The man stood there, looking at him. After a long time, he sighed and said with a wry smile: "Of course I don't have to ask who you are now." Ye Kai said: "Indeed, it is no longer necessary." The man said: "However, I want to ask you, are you a human being after all?" Ye Kai laughed. He suddenly felt that his eyesight was not much worse than he imagined. He laughed loudly and said: "The disciples of Thousand Faces Demon Sect really have strange moves and subtle disguises. I should have seen it long ago." Ximen Chun sighed, "It's not too late for you to see it now." Ye Kaidao: "Of course Granny Du is not a woman, let alone an old woman, otherwise others would have guessed it all at once?" Ximen Chun said: "It makes sense." Ye Kai said: "Then who is she?" Xiao Bieli suddenly smiled again, and said flatly: "It may be you, or it may be me." Ye Kai pondered, and said: "It may also be..." He suddenly jumped up and said loudly: "I see, Grandma Du must be him." Ximenchun sighed again, and murmured: "It's a pity that it may be too late for you to understand now." Fu Hongxue walked into the grocery store slowly. He had never been in this grocery store, nor had he been in any grocery store. He doesn't live in the mortal world, he has another world. There is nothing but hatred in that world. Li Mahu was lying on the counter, dozing off again, as if he had never been awake. Fu Hongxue walked over and knocked on the counter with the handle of his knife. Li Mahu was startled, and finally regained consciousness, and saw Fu Hongxue's pitch-black knife. The scabbard was pitch black, and the handle was pitch black, but there was still bright red blood on the blade! Li Mahu's face turned pale with fright, and he said in a daze, "You...what are you going to do?" Fu Hongxue said, "You want my burden." Li Mahu said: "Your burden... Oh, yes, here is a burden." Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and quickly took the burden out of the counter with both hands. Of course Fu Hongxue only used one hand to pick it up.His other hand was still gripping his knife tightly. Gongsun Duan has died under this knife!Who is next? Maybe even he doesn't know it. He turned around slowly, saw the eggs on the shelf, and suddenly asked, "How do you sell the eggs?" Li Mahu said, "Want to buy?" Fu Hongxue nodded. He suddenly discovered that the feeling of hunger was sometimes even stronger than hatred. Li Mahu looked at him, shook his head, and said, "No, I can't sell you this egg." Fu Hongxue also understood that all the doors in this place had been closed in front of him, even the door of this grocery store was no exception. If he must buy it, of course no one can stop him. But he is not this kind of person. The object of his wrath was not an old woman, nor the owner of a small grocer. The moonlight has faded, and there is a coolness in the wind. Is there really no room for him here? He held his knife tightly and carried his burden—he was living in another world. No matter what people in this world treat him, he doesn't care. Unexpectedly, Li Mahu suddenly continued: "This egg cannot be sold to you, because the egg is raw, and you must not eat raw eggs." Fu Hongxue stopped. Li Mahu said: "There is a stove at the back, and there is a fire in the stove. Not only can you scramble eggs, but you can also heat wine." Fu Hongxue turned around and said, "How much do you want?" Li Mahu smiled and said, "Since you are a sensible person, young master, you can count twelve liang carelessly." Twelve taels of silver for a meal is really not a light blow. But no matter how much money there is, it can't fill the stomach, and the hunger is so unbearable. Li Sloppy is scrambling eggs and fried rice with eggs. The wine has been warmed up, and there are still some dried peanuts and tofu. "Peanuts and tofu are all free, and please drink as much alcohol as you can, forget it so-so." Fu Hongxue didn't even drink a drop of wine. He must be drunk when he drinks, but now is definitely not the time to get drunk. Li Mahu took the fried rice with eggs, looked at the wine in his glass, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, do you think this wine is not good?" Fu Hongxue said, "The wine is very good." Li Mahu said: "Even if it's not good, you should drink two cups so-so to relax." Fu Hongxue had already started eating. He was not afraid of poison in the wine. There are thirty-six ways to distinguish whether food is poisonous, and he knows at least twenty of them. It's just that if he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him. Of course, Li Mahu is not the kind of person who likes to force others. Fu Hongxue didn't drink it, so he drank it himself. He drank the warm pot of wine in one gulp, said with a wry smile: "In my conscience, I often wonder why there are so many people in the world who like to drink alcohol. This wine is really worse than poison." Fu Hongxue said, "You don't like drinking?" Li Mahu sighed and said, "I don't know how to drink at all, and now I'm almost drunk." He was indeed almost drunk, not only his face had started to turn red, but even his eyes had turned red. Fu Hongxue frowned and said, "If you don't know how to drink, why should you drink?" Li Mahu said: "If the wine is warm, it will go bad if you don't drink it." Fu Hongxue said, "So you'd rather get drunk." Li Mahu sighed: "Whoever wants to open a grocery store has to learn one thing first." Fu Hongxue said, "What's the matter?" Li Mahu said: "I'd rather suffer a little bit of trouble myself than ruin something." He sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "That's why only the most worthless people will open a grocery store. Those who open a grocery store not only can't marry a wife, they don't even have a friend." Fu Hongxue slowly picked up the rice, and suddenly sighed softly, saying: "You are wrong." Li Mahu made a "plop", sat down next to him, and said, "Where did I go wrong?" Fu Hongxue said slowly: "There is only one type of person in the world who truly has no friends." Li Mahu said, "What kind of person?" Fu Hongxue said, "I'm this kind." He raised his head, as if staring into the distance, appearing indescribably empty and lonely. He never had any friends, and I'm afraid he never will. His life had been devoted entirely to hatred, a hatred that could never be undone. But deep down in his heart, why is he always longing for friendship? Li Mahu looked at him with red eyes, and suddenly asked: "Isn't Mr. Ye your friend?" Fu Hongxue said coldly: "No." Li Mahu said: "But he seems to have regarded you as a friend." Fu Hongxue said with a sullen face, "That's only because he has something wrong." Li Mahu said: "Is there something wrong?" Fu Hongxue clenched the knife in his hand, and said slowly, "Everyone who takes me as a friend has faults." Li Mahu smiled wryly and said, "From this point of view, there seems to be something wrong with me." Fu Hongxue said, "You?" Li Mahu said: "Because I really want to be your friend now." His tongue grew bigger when he spoke, and he was indeed drunk very quickly, but isn't it true that drunken words are usually true? Fu Hongxue put down his chopsticks suddenly, and said coldly, "You don't cook this rice well." He didn't look at Li Mahu again, stood up slowly, and turned around, because he didn't want others to see the expression on his face. Li Mahu was still looking at him, at his back. His shoulders have receded, and it is obvious that he is very disturbed. A strange expression suddenly appeared in Li Mahu's eyes, and he slowly stretched out his hand, as if to pat him on the shoulder. At this moment, suddenly a cold light flashed! A knife had been driven into the back of his hand.
