Chapter 30 The 30th reunion after a long absence

The wind is colder. Ye Kai walked out facing the wind, and the cold sweat on his body was blown by the wind, like ice beads. He really didn't dare to stay in that hall. He is not afraid of ghosts. But there seemed to be something more terrifying than ghosts hidden in the hall. There was more drumming in the distance. The third watch has passed. In this ancient city, there are few lights, no matter where you go, it is dark. If it's summer, maybe you can find one or two places to drink and eat late at night. Too bad it's still spring. Maybe it's because there is absolutely no alcohol to drink now, so Ye Kai suddenly felt like drinking two glasses.

He sighed and walked out of the side alley, really not knowing where to go, he didn't even sleep tonight.There is no place to feel. At this moment, someone suddenly heard with a smile: "I know a place where there is still drinking, will you follow me?" Although there is starlight, the alley is still dark. A man with big sleeves fluttering is walking ahead. Ye Kai followed behind. The people in front never looked back. Ye Kai never asked, let alone catch up. The people in front didn't walk fast, but they were very familiar with the streets and alleys here. Ye Kai followed him around seven times and eight times, even the direction was almost impossible to distinguish, he saw a high wall in front, and the courtyard inside seemed to be very deep, the man flicked his long sleeves, and unexpectedly crossed the high wall lightly.

Not only is this person extremely high in lightness kung fu, but his body skills are also extremely beautiful, even Ye Kai rarely sees such a high level of lightness kung fu. It was also dark inside the high wall, and there was a burst of refreshing fragrance floating in the cold wind. Under the starlight, the branches and horizontal shadows are full of plum blossoms. Ye Kai followed over the wall and found that this place was the Lengxiang Garden he had visited when he first arrived in Chang'an. After that mysterious and brutal battle, the former No. 1 garden in Chang'an was deserted.

There is not even a light, only the cold wind blowing the flower branches, making a sound like a sigh. Who is sighing, and for whom? Is it for the ghosts who died here? Lengxiang Garden, the winding path leads to seclusion. The people in front seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, Ye Kai followed him around seven times, passed through a door, and came to a small courtyard. There was no one in the yard, no light, no sound. The door is open. The man walked over and opened the door, but he stepped aside and said, "Please come in." Ye Kai didn't go in. The man said: "Aren't you going in?"

Ye Kai said: "Why should I go in?" The man said, "Someone is waiting for you inside." Ye Kai said: "Who?" The man said: "You will know when you go in and have a look." Ye Kai said: "Aren't you going in?" The man said: "The person is waiting for you, not me." His voice was very strange, and his face was covered with a silk scarf of the same color as his clothes. Ye Kai stared at him, suddenly smiled, and said with a smile: "You know I can recognize you, why don't you want to see me?" The man seemed taken aback, and lost his voice: "You...you recognize me?"

Ye Kai sighed and said, "If I don't recognize him, I'm not only blind, but also an idiot." The man lowered his head and asked softly, "Why?" Ye Kai said: "You don't know?" The man's voice was softer, "Is it because you already have me in your heart?" Ye Kai didn't answer, and the expression in his eyes suddenly became very strange again. Whatever the look meant, at least it wasn't in denial. The person finally raised her head and lifted the silk scarf off her face, and the starlight shone on her face. In such a still night, with such starlight, her face looked as beautiful as a plum blossom elf, a fairy in the sky.

Her eyes are more beautiful, but they seem to carry a kind of resentment and sentimentality that cannot be narrated to others. She stared at Ye Kai, and said softly: "I really should know that you can recognize me, because even if you turn into ashes, I can still recognize you." Her voice is also beautiful, as beautiful as the soft wind blowing across the earth in the evening of spring. Such beautiful eyes, such a beautiful voice, who else but Shangguan Xiaoxian? Ye Kai was also staring at her, and said, "But you hope that I don't recognize you." Shangguan Xiaoxian nodded.

Ye Kai said: "Why?" Shangguan Xiaoxian hesitated, and said: "Go in and have a look, and you will know why." Ye Kai said: "Aren't you going in?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "I can wait outside." Ye Kai said: "Why are you waiting outside?" Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled and said: "Because after you go in, you must also want me to wait outside." She smiled not only sadly, but also mysteriously. She is really a mysterious woman who always does something unexpected. Ye Kai didn't ask any more questions. Because he knows her well, no one can ask what she refuses to say.

The door was open, making a "squeak" sound from the wind. Ye Kai finally walked in, into the darkness... There are still stars outside, and it is darker in the room. Ye Kai couldn't see anything, but heard a burst of very light breathing. Sure enough, there were people in the house. "who is it?" No one responded, and even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped. Since this person was waiting for Ye Kai in the room, why didn't he answer Ye Kai's words? Could this be Shangguan Xiaoxian's plot again? Could this place be another trap? Otherwise, when she brought Ye Kai here, why would she refuse to meet him in her true colors?

If it was someone else, they might have already quit. But Ye Kai didn't. He suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart that even he couldn't explain. A gust of wind blew by, and with a bang, the door suddenly closed. Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't. It was even darker in the room, and it was true that he could not see his fingers, but the sound of breathing sounded again. The sound of breathing, which had been in the front, had now receded into the corner of the room. Why did he want to withdraw? Is it because he is also afraid? Ye Kai took a deep breath and said: "No matter who you are, since you are waiting for me, you should know who I am."

no answer. Ye Kai said: "I'm not a vicious person, so you don't have to be afraid of me at all." While he was talking, he had already walked over. He walked very slowly. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew towards him. He didn't see anything, but he could feel that only Daofeng could be so cold. He couldn't see the knife either. ——The invisible knife is the one that kills. Who is this man and why should he be killed? The knife wind is not only cold, but also urgent. Ye Kai's figure flashed, and suddenly he shot like lightning, and grabbed the man's hand. Cold hands. Of course he couldn't see this hand, but he could feel it, so he could grasp it. True martial arts masters all have a strange, unexplainable feeling, just like the instinct of a wild beast. The man's hands were shaking, but he still refused to speak. Ye Kai's hand also trembled suddenly, because he had vaguely guessed who this person was. He smelled the man's breath. Everyone has his own special breath, and he will never forget this person's breath. Even if I die, I will not forget. At that instant, the man had shaken off his hand and retreated into the corner of the room. This time Ye Kai didn't push him any further, in fact, his whole body was already stiff, like a block of wood. He never thought that this person would be here, let alone that this person would kill him. Cold sweat had begun to trickle down his forehead. "I'm Xiaoye." He tried his best to control himself: "Can't you hear my voice?" Still no response.The sound of breathing is more rapid, as if full of fear. Ye Kai gritted his teeth, instead of going forward, he stepped back step by step, backed to the door, turned around suddenly, and pulled the door hard. The door opened as soon as it was pulled. He rushed out, but Shangguan Xiaoxian was actually still waiting in the yard. Seeing his expression, her eyes were full of sympathy and concern, and she came up to him and asked, "Do you already know who is in the room?" Ye Kai nodded, clenched his fists, and said, "Why don't you light the lamp?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "I'm not in the house." Ye Kai said: "You don't have a fire book?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "I have." Ye Kai said: "Since there is, why didn't you give it to me just now?" Shangguan Xiaoxian didn't answer this question, but silently handed the fire pocket to him. Ye Kai immediately rushed in again, lighting up the torch. There was a person standing in the corner of the room bewilderedly, unexpectedly it was Ding Linglin. Ye Kai finally saw her and finally found her. No one can describe how he feels at this moment, and no one can imagine. But Ding Linglin suddenly yelled crazily, pointing to the fire folder in his hand, and shouted: "Fire...fire..." Seeing the flames, it was as if she had suddenly turned into a frightened and wounded beast.She shrank into a ball, trembling non-stop, her beautiful face was distorted by horror, she kept yelling, "Fire...fire..." She only saw the fire, but not Ye Kai.She didn't seem to recognize Ye Kai anymore.The fire was extinguished immediately, and the room was dark again. Ye Kai's heart also sank into the darkness, the boundless darkness.After an unknown amount of time, he quietly backed out again, and silently returned the fire bag to Shangguan Xiaoxian. Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled wryly and said: "Do you understand now, why I refused to give you the booklet just now?" Ye Kai was speechless. Shangguan Xiaoxian sighed: "She escaped from the fire cave, she was so frightened, but... But I really can't think that she doesn't even recognize you." Ye Kai was sad, and asked after a long time: "Where did you find her?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "It's right here." Ye Kai said: "When did you find it?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "After she escaped from the fire cave, she must have hid here, but I didn't find her until tonight." She lowered her head and said again: "I know you will feel very sad seeing her like this, but I have to bring you here." Ye Kai said: "You..." Shangguan Xiaoxian interrupted him, saying: "I didn't want you to know that I brought you here because... because..." Ye Kai said: "Because of what?" Shangguan Xiaoxian lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before she said sadly: "I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't want you to thank me for this matter, maybe it's because I'm afraid." Ye Kai said: "Afraid?" Shangguan Xiaoxian looked even sadder, and said: "I am also responsible for her becoming like this. I am afraid that you will blame me and hate me... I am even more afraid that after you see her, you will ignore me from now on." Ye Kai said: "But you still brought me here." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "So I don't know what I am doing?" The starlight shone on her face, and she shed tears.Anyone should be able to see how contradictory and painful she was. Ye Kai didn't seem to be able to see, and suddenly walked to the middle of the yard, turned three somersaults, stood up, stood up straight, took a long breath, and straightened his clothes. Who breaks off and falls on the snow. He picked it up, took off one, put it on the skirt of his clothes, and then walked back, suddenly smiled at Shangguan Xiaoxian, and said, "Guess what I want to do now?" Shangguan Xiaoxian looked at him in surprise, seemingly in a daze. Ye Kai said: "I want to find a place to sleep." Shangguan Xiaoxian was even more surprised, said: "Now you want to go to bed?" Ye Kai nodded, and said, "I have something to do at noon tomorrow, so I must recharge my energy." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "You...can you sleep?" Ye Kai said: "Why can't I fall asleep?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "But Ding Linglin..." Ye Kai said: "No matter what, we have finally found her now, and other things can wait until later." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "Can you rest assured that she is like this?" Ye Kai smiled and said: "The head of the Money Gang is here to protect her, so I have nothing to worry about." Shangguan Xiaoxian looked at him as if he had never seen anyone like him before.Such people are really rare.No matter who encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely be very upset and worried, but after three somersaults, he suddenly put all his worries far away. Shangguan Xiaoxian sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that even if you have a big trouble, you can put it away at once." Ye Kai said: "There is nothing worth worrying about in this world." Shangguan Xiaoxian sighed: "You are really a very lucky person." Ye Kai did not deny it. Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help but asked again: "Tomorrow noon, what do you have to do?" Ye Kai said: "I have a date." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "What date?" Ye Kaidao: "Gufeng and Duoerjia made an appointment to meet at Yanping Gate at noon tomorrow." Shangguan Xiaoxian frowned and said, "This is their date, you..." Ye Kai interrupted her and said: "Now that Duoerjia is dead, this date becomes mine." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "Do you want to take this opportunity to find the lonely peak?" Ye Kai said: "Yes." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "Every day at noon, there are countless people entering and exiting Yanping Gate. How do you know who is the lonely peak?" Ye Kai said: "I will always find a way." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "What method?" Ye Kai smiled again, and said, "I don't even know it now, but I can figure it out when the time comes." He smiled and said again: "There is nothing unsolvable in this world, right?" Shangguan Xiaoxian could only smile wryly. Of course, there are many places to sleep in Lengxiang Garden, but Ye Kai actually left as soon as he said it. Shangguan Xiaoxian watched him go out, and couldn't help but said loudly: "You go to sleep by yourself, but you want me to protect her here for you?" Ye Kai waved his hand with a smile, and disappeared. Shangguan Xiaoxian couldn't help sighing again, and said with a wry smile: "Now I know why he doesn't have any worries, because he can always give his worries to others." This is indeed Ye Kai's skill.If he didn't have this kind of ability, he would have been killed by a headshot by now. In the third day of junior high school, in the morning. Ye Kai strode into the courtyard.His clothes were dirty and wrinkled, and he hadn't showered for at least a few days.His hair was disheveled and the flowers on his lapel had withered. What happened to him recently, if it were someone else, he would not be able to survive.But when he came into the yard, he looked radiant and full of energy, as if he had just made a fortune and won the number one prize. It was very difficult to find someone more handsome than him. Shangguan Xiaoxian was leaning against the window, looking at the expression on his face, she didn't know whether she wanted to cry or laugh. Ye Kai strode over and said with a smile, "Morning!" Shangguan Xiaoxian bit her lip and said, "It seems to be getting late now." Ye Kaidao: "Although it's not early, it's not too late." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "It seems that you must have slept soundly." Ye Kai laughed and said, "Slept like a dead person." Shangguan Xiaoxian said with a wry smile: "I never thought that you could actually fall asleep." Ye Kai said: "When I want to sleep, even if the sky falls, I can still fall asleep." Ding Linglin also fell asleep, and also fell into a deep sleep, but she was still holding a knife in her hand. Ye Kai said: "When did she fall asleep?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "I don't sleep until dawn." There is a soup bowl on the table, but it is empty. Ye Kai said: "It seems that she also ate something." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "After eating a bowl of stewed chicken noodles, I am willing to go to bed." She smiled wryly, and said again: "Fortunately, she finally fell asleep, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get in." Ye Kai said: "Why?" Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "No matter who walks in, she will kill with a knife." Ye Kai said with a smile: "No matter what, it is always a good thing to be able to eat and sleep." Shangguan Xiaoxian sighed: "It's a pity that I can't eat, and I can't sleep. I really don't have such good fortune as you." She rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked again: "Have you figured out a way?" Ye Kai said: "I haven't started thinking about it yet." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "When are you going to start thinking about it?" Ye Kaidao: "We'll think about it when we get to the city gate." Shangguan Xiaoxian smiled wryly, "You are not in a hurry at all." Ye Kaidao: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I have always believed in this saying." Shangguan Xiaoxian said: "What do you want to do now?" Ye Kai said: "I want to eat a big bowl of hot stewed chicken noodles."
