Chapter 6 Fifth Elegy

There are no plum blossoms in Wanmei Villa. It is now April, and the peach blossoms and rhododendrons are blooming on the hillside. Facing the mountains full of flowers, Huamanlou almost didn't want to leave this place anymore, his serene face suddenly had an indescribable brilliance, just like when a girl in first love sees her lover. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "I don't want to spoil the scenery, but when it gets dark, Ximen Chuuxue won't see any visitors." Hua Manlou said: "Even you don't see me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't even see the Heavenly King."

Hua Manlou said: "What if he's not here?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He must be here, he only goes out four times a year at most, and only goes out when killing people." Hua Manlou said: "So he only kills four people at most every year." Lu Xiaofeng said: "And those who should be killed are the ones who should be killed." Hua Manlou said: "Who should be killed, and who decides whether they should be killed?" He suddenly sighed, and said: "You go to him, I'd rather wait for you here." Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything more, he knew this person very well.

No one has ever seen Hua Manlou lose his temper, but if he decides on something, no one can change his mind. Facing the mountain full of flowers, he continued slowly: "When you see him, you'd better try my method first, and then try yours." There were no flowers in the room, but it was filled with the fragrance of flowers, soft and faint, just like Ximen Chuuxue. Lu Xiaofeng leaned on a soft chair made of long green wings, looking at him.The wine in the cup was light blue, and the snow-white clothes on his body were light and soft. The sound of the flute, which is softer than the spring breeze, seems to be very close, but also seems to be far away, but the person who plays the flute cannot be seen.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said, "Have you ever been really troubled in your life?" Ximen Chuixue said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Are you really satisfied?" Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "Because my requirements are not high." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you never begged anyone?" Ximen Chuixue said, "Never." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So someone came to beg you, but you refused to agree?" Ximen Chuixue said, "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "No matter who is begging you, no matter what it is begging for, you will not agree?"

Ximen Chuixue said: "What I want to do, I don't need others to ask me, otherwise it doesn't matter who I am." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if someone wants to set fire to your house?" Ximen Chuixue said, "Who will burn my house down?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Me." Ximen Chuuxue smiled.He seldom smiled, so his smile always seemed to have an indescribable irony. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I came here this time to ask you to help me with something. I promised others that if you refuse to go out, I will set fire to your house and burn it clean." Ximen Chuuxue stared at him, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I don't have many friends, at most there were only two or three, but you have always been my friend."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's why I came to beg you." Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "So whenever you want to burn my house down, you can do it, and it doesn't matter where you start from." Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, he also knew this person very well. The words spoken by this person are like arrows shot out, and they will never look back. Ximen Chuixue said: "There are rosin and diesel in the warehouse behind me. I suggest you start burning it from there, preferably at night. That kind of flame must look beautiful at night." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked: "Have you ever heard of Datong and Dazhi?"

Ximen Chuuxue said coldly: "I heard that there is no question in this world that they can't answer. Do they really know everything about the world?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't believe it?" Ximen Chuuxue said, "Do you believe it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I asked them what method to impress you, they said there is no way, I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that they really understand you." Ximen Chuuxue looked at him, then smiled again, and said, "They were wrong this time." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "It's not that you have no way to impress me!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What can I do?" Ximen Chuuxue smiled, and said, "As long as you shave clean, whatever you want to do, I'll go with you." Friends may not recognize Lu Xiaofeng again if they see Lu Xiaofeng again. This person who had four eyebrows now only has two. Where he used to grow a beard, it has become as smooth as a newborn baby.It's a pity that Huamanlou can't see it. Of course he couldn't see Ximen Chuuxue who came with Lu Xiaofeng, but he smiled and said, "Master Ximen?" Ximen Chuixue said: "The building is full of flowers."

Hua Manlou nodded, and said, "I only hate being disabled in the lower body, so I can't see the demeanor of a contemporary swordsman." Ximen Chuuxue stared at him, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency really can't see?" Huamanlou said: "The owner must have heard that although Huamanlou has eyes, he is as blind as a bat." Ximen Chuixue said: "Can you hear my footsteps?" Just like Dugu Fang, he couldn't help but ask this question.He is equally conceited about his lightness kung fu and swordsmanship, and his lightness kung fu is really worthy of his pride.

Hua Manlou said: "As far as I know, there are at most four or five people in the world who can act completely silently, and the owner of the village is one of them." Ximen Chuixue said: "But you know I'm coming!" Hua Manlou smiled and said, "That's only because of the murderous aura on the owner!" Ximen Chuixue said: "Murderous?" Hua Manlou said indifferently: "When a sharp sword is out of its sheath, there must be sword energy. The owner has killed a few people in his life! How could he not have murderous energy?" Ximen Chuixue said coldly: "It's no wonder your Excellency wants to pass through the door, so it turns out that your Excellency can't stand my murderous intent!"

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "The beauty of flowers here is rare in the world. If the owner can appreciate more, the murderous aura will gradually disappear invisibly." Ximen Chuixue said coldly: "Although flowers are beautiful, how can they compare to the blood flowers when killing people?" Hua Manlou said: "Oh?" A strange light suddenly appeared in Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, and he said: "There will always be treacherous people who can't be killed in this world. When you stabbed their throats with a sword and watched the blood bloom under your sword, If you can see the brilliance of that moment, you will know that there is absolutely nothing comparable to that kind of beauty." He turned around suddenly and left without looking back. The twilight was hazy, as if a veil had been scattered among the flowers, and his person had suddenly disappeared into the twilight. Hua Manlou couldn't help but sighed softly, and said, "Now I understand how he managed to master that kind of swordsmanship." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Hua Manlou said: "Because he really regards killing as a sacred and beautiful thing. He has dedicated his life to this matter. Only when he kills is he truly alive. At other times, he is truly alive." It's just waiting." Lu Xiaofeng was deep in thought, and suddenly sighed softly, saying: "Fortunately, the people he killed should be killed." Hua Manlou smiled and said nothing. At this time, the boundless night suddenly enveloped the earth. Shuxing had just risen, and a crescent-like crescent moon was hanging on the treetops far away.There is still a fragrance of flowers in the wind, and the night is mysterious and beautiful. Hua Manlou walked slowly on the hillside, as if she had fallen into a mysterious and beautiful dream. But Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but said: "Why don't you ask me if this trip has yielded something?" Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I know you've already convinced him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know? How did you know?" Hua Manlou said: "He neither kept you nor sent you off, but you were not angry, of course because you have already made an appointment to meet each other." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You also know what method I use?" Hua Manlou said: "Of course it's my way." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Hua Manlou said: "Because he is ruthless, but you are sympathetic. He knows that you will never burn down his house. Besides, even if you do burn down, he won't take it to heart." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, smiled and sighed, and said: "No matter how good you are, there is one thing you will never think of." Hua Manlou said: "What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng touched the place where his beard used to grow, and said, "You guess slowly, and I'll tell you when you guess right." Hua Manlou smiled and said, "If I already guessed it, why do you need to tell me?" Lu Xiaofeng also laughed, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly noticed that Huamanlou's serene and peaceful smile suddenly became strangely stiff in an indescribable way. He couldn't help asking: "What did you find again?" Hua Manlou didn't answer, nor did he hear his words, but seemed to be listening to a mysterious voice in the distance, a voice that only he could hear. He suddenly changed direction and walked behind the hillside. Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to follow him, the night was getting darker, the stars and the moon had disappeared behind the mountain peak. Suddenly, he also heard an ethereal singing, with a touch of melancholy, heartbreakingly beautiful. The lyrics are also bleak, beautiful, and moving. It tells the story of a passionate girl who, before dying, tells her lover about the wandering and misfortune of her life. Lu Xiaofeng didn't listen to the lyrics carefully, because he thought Hua Manlou's expression was too strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Have you heard this song before?" Hua Manlou finally nodded and said, "I've heard someone sing it before!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who has heard it?" Hua Manlou said: "Shangguan Feiyan." Lu Xiaofeng often said that there are only twelve things in this world that he can completely trust, and one of them is Huamanlou's ears. Others sometimes misread what they saw with their own eyes, but Hua Manlou never missed it. Although he didn't say it out loud, the expression on his face told Lu Xiaofeng that the one who is singing now is also Shangguan Feiyan. How could this girl who had mysteriously disappeared suddenly appear here again?Why do you have to hide alone in this moonlit barren mountain and sing this sad and sad song? Who is she singing it to? Could it be that she, like the orphan girl in the lyrics, narrates the misfortune of her fate to her lover before she dies? Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask any more questions, because at this moment a little light suddenly appeared in the darkness. The singing came from the place where the lights flickered. Hua Manlou has stretched his figure and flew towards that side. Although he couldn't see the light of this solitary lamp, the direction of his flying was not wrong at all. The lights are getting closer and closer, Lu Xiaofeng can already tell that it is a small temple, and the person enshrining is a mountain god?Or land? At this moment, the singing stopped suddenly, and the world suddenly became indescribably empty and silent. Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Hua Manlou, and couldn't help but said, "If she was really singing to you, she wouldn't leave." But she is gone.The lights were still on, but no one could be seen in the gloomy mountain temple. The black-faced mountain god is holding a steel whip and straddling the tiger. Under the dim light, it seems that he is about to punish the traitors in the world with a whip and defend the injustice for the kind people. On the divine table with peeling paint, there is a dilapidated copper basin, which is filled with clear water, and a strand of black silk floats on the water. Hua Manlou said: "What are you looking at?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "There is a basin of water on the table, and there are a few hairs in the water." Hua Manlou said, "Hair?" The hair is soft and still has a girlish fragrance. Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's a woman's hair, there seemed to be a girl here just now, singing and combing her hair with this basin of water as a mirror, but now her person is gone." Hua Manlou nodded slowly, as if he had already thought that she would never wait for him here. Lu Xiaofeng said: "In this kind of place, at this kind of time, she is still in the mood to comb her hair, obviously she is a pretty girl." Hua Manlou said calmly: "Girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, who doesn't love beauty?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Isn't Shangguan Feiyan just a seventeen or eighteen year old girl?" Hua Manlou said: "She always loves beauty." Lu Xiaofeng looked at him and said tentatively, "Of course you touched her hair before." Hua Manlou smiled - there are many kinds of smiles, and what he meant by this kind of smile was to admit. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this her hair?" He believed that Huamanlou's fingertips were as sensitive as his ears. He saw with his own eyes that Huamanlou could tell the authenticity of an antique with a light touch of his fingertips. Hua Manlou had already taken the hair, and was stroking it gently with his fingertips, when suddenly there was a strange expression on his face, he couldn't tell it was joy?still sad? Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this really her hair?" Hua Manlou nodded. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since she was still here just now, and she can comb her hair and sing, it can be seen that she is still alive." Hua Manlou smiled again - there are many kinds of smiles, but his kind of smile couldn't tell if it was joy?still sad? Since she was here just now, why didn't she wait for him?If she doesn't know that he will come, who is she singing for? Lu Xiaofeng sighed secretly, and didn't know how to comfort him?Still pretending not to understand. There was a wind blowing in from outside the door, and the black-faced mountain god statue holding a steel whip and straddling a black tiger suddenly split from the middle, and a four-foot-long steel whip suddenly broke into eight or nine pieces. Then, the huge statue of the mountain god also cracked piece by piece and fell to the ground piece by piece. In the dusty atmosphere, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly found a person hanging in mid-air on the wall behind the mountain god statue. A dead man, the blood stains on his body hadn't dried yet, a pair of judge's pens were inserted through his chest, nailing him alive there, and the judge's pens fluttered two jute cloths like spiritual banners. "Blood for blood!" "This is an example of meddling!" The same two sentences were also written in blood, and the blood stains seemed to have dried up. Lu Xiaofeng didn't need to look at the dead man's face anymore, he already knew who he was. Dugufang! It's not Liu Yuhen, it's Dugu Fang, those who want to die are not dead yet, but those who don't want to die are already dead. Lu Xiaofeng said bitterly: "The statue has already been destroyed by someone's internal force, this dead man is placed here, waiting for us to see." Hua Manlou's face was pale, and he finally couldn't help asking: "Is it Shangguan Feiyan who died?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The one who died was Dugu Fang, I really didn't expect him to be the second one to die." Hua Manlou pondered, and said: "Why did he come here? Why did Shangguan Feiyan come here? Could it be that she was also murdered? Could it be that she has fallen into Qingyilou's hands?" Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and said, "You've always been open minded, but when you encounter her, why do you always think of the bad?" Hua Manlou was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Is it because I care too much about her?" yes!If you care too much, you will inevitably think about it, and if you think too much, you will inevitably have to dig into the horns. Therefore, the more people who love each other, the easier it is to misunderstand, and the more painful it is when they are separated. Lu Xiaofeng forced a smile, and said: "No matter what, she is still alive. If a person has a knife around his neck, how can he still sing such a beautiful song?" The singing was not very pleasant, because it was sung by Lu Xiaofeng. "Life is proud to be thoroughly enjoyed themselves, Don't make the golden cup empty to the moon..." He tapped the wine glass with his chopsticks and sang over and over again, only these two lines were sung. He sang once, Huamanlou drank a cup, and finally couldn't help but said: "I'm not saying that you can't sing well, but can you sing in two lines?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No!" Huamanlou said, "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I can only sing these two lines." Hua ManLou smiled, and said: "Others say that Lu XiaoFeng is amazingly talented, extremely smart, no matter what kind of martial arts he can learn, but you are really dumber than a donkey when it comes to singing." Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you think I can't sing well, why don't you sing yourself?" He just forced Huamanlou to sing, because he had never seen Huamanlou being so overwhelmed, and he had never seen Huamanlou drinking like this. The wine is not good, how can there be good wine in the mountain village store? But no matter what kind of wine, at least it's better than no wine, Hua Manlou suddenly drank it all in one gulp, and sang loudly: "Yun Yibian, jade shuttle, light and thin shirt, light frown and double snails. There are many autumn winds and gentle rains, and there are three or two nests of plantains outside the curtain. " This song "Long Lovesickness" was originally written by Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, in memory of his deceased wife, Empress Da Zhou. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly discovered that Huamanlou had really fallen in love with that mysterious and beautiful girl, and he never said it, just because of the deep love.He loves deeply just because he has never loved before. But what about Shangguan Feiyan? Her whereabouts were too secretive, and what she did was so strange that even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't figure out her intentions, let alone Huamanlou who was already in love? Lu Xiaofeng suddenly laughed and said: "Although I can't sing well, your singing is even worse. My singing can at least make you laugh, but your singing makes me unable to even laugh." Hua Manlou said: "So we might as well drink, we have wine today, let's get drunk today." They raised their glasses and suddenly heard someone say: "Which one is the young master Lu Xiaofeng?" It's late at night, people have dispersed, no one will come to this mountain village shop, let alone anyone who will come to look for Lu Xiaofeng. But this person came by chance, and he came to look for Lu Xiaofeng. Looking at his attire, he looked like a hunter in the mountains, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, and there was a roasted pheasant in the basket. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "Why are you looking for Lu Xiaofeng?" Orion put the bamboo basket on the table, and said: "Master Lu's aunt bought it specially, and asked me to bring it to Master Lu to drink." Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and said, "My aunt?" Orion also seemed to be startled, and said: "Are you Lu Xiaofeng, Young Master Lu?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said: "It's just that I'm neither the eldest master nor my aunt." Orion said: "There must be, there will never be mistakes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Orion said: "If that girl is not your aunt, why did you buy these pheasants for five taels of silver, and asked me to send them to you for five taels of silver, but..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How about it?" Orion looked at him out of the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile: "She said that Young Master Lu has four eyebrows, and I'll recognize him at a glance, but you seem to have only two eyebrows." Lu Xiaofeng kept a straight face, but he couldn't help laughing, and said, "When have you ever seen a person with four eyebrows?" Orion also laughed, and said: "I just wanted to take a look because I hadn't seen it before, but it wasn't all because of the five taels of silver." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What kind of person is my aunt?" Orion said: "It's a little girl." Lu Xiaofeng lost his voice and said, "Is it a little girl? At your age, is there any aunt who is a little girl?" Orion smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but she said that although she is not very old, her seniority is very high. She also said that she has a grandnephew named Hua Manlou, who is over fifty this year." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huamanlou, wanted to laugh, but was too embarrassed to do so. Hua Manlou smiled, and said, "That's right, I do have such an aunt." Orion was startled again, and said, "You are Huamanlou? You are over fifty this year?" Hua Manlou said: "I take good care of myself, so I look young." Orion couldn't help asking: "How to maintain it, I... can I learn?" Hua Manlou said lightly, "That's easy, I just eat fifty earthworms, twenty geckos, and three catties of human flesh every day." Orion looked at him, as if his eyeballs were about to fall off, turned around suddenly, ran out without looking back, and fled in despair. Lu Xiaofeng finally couldn't help laughing. Hua Manlou also smiled and said: "You are right, it seems that the little monster tells a lie, and indeed even the dead are deceived by her." When he was talking, he pointed to the window on the left with his chopsticks intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Xiaofeng's person flew up, flipped in the air, and opened the window again - a little girl with two braids was hiding outside the window and secretly smiling with her mouth covered. Shangguan Xue'er's eyes were still so big, and her appearance was still so obedient, but she couldn't smile anymore. Lu Xiaofeng grabbed her by the braids, pulled her in, and said: "This little monster will not only be my aunt, but also your aunt." Xue'er pouted, and said, "He's just joking, even if you can't take a joke, you don't have to take it out on his braids." Hua Manlou smiled and said: "Besides, he finally spent ten taels of silver to treat you. The pheasant tastes good. Even if you don't appreciate it, at least you should be more polite to him." Xue'er said sweetly, "It's still my nephew who has a conscience and finally said something fair." Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that a person with a conscience is still a generation behind a person without a conscience." He laughed and let go of his hand, Xueer immediately slipped from his armpit like a little fox. It's a pity that she couldn't slip away fast enough, Lu Xiaofeng grabbed her by the braids again, grabbed her back like a chicken, pressed her on the chair, and said with a straight face: "I have something to ask you, you'd better be old Honestly, don't lie." Xue'er blinked, as if she was wronged, and said, "I never told a single lie." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What you are saying now is a lie." Xue'er got angry and said loudly: "Since you don't believe even a word I say, why do you talk to me?" Lu Xiaofeng also knew how stupid it was to argue with this little monster, so he had to put on a straight face and said, "Let me ask you, why do you follow us all the time?" Xue'er said: "I didn't follow you at all, even if I wanted to, I couldn't keep up." This sentence is the truth. Lu Xiaofeng said: "How did you find us?" Xue'er said: "I knew you were going to look for Ximen Chuuxue, so you came here first!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You have been waiting here?" Xue'er said: "I've been waiting for a whole day, I haven't changed my clothes, I haven't taken a shower, my body stinks, if you don't believe me, come and have a look." Hua Manlou laughed again, Lu Xiaofeng could only cough a few times, and said, "What are you waiting for us?" Xue'er said: "Because I have a secret, I must tell you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What secret?" Xue'er pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry, suddenly took out a delicate golden swallow from her body, and said, "Look, this is what I found in the garden that night!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at it, but couldn't see what kind of secret it was. Xue'er continued: "This was given to my sister when my father was still alive. My sister always treats it like a treasure and hangs it on her body with a gold chain. I want her to lend it to me for two days. She refused to die, but now... now I picked it up on the ground." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe she accidentally dropped it on the ground." Xue'er shook her head vigorously, and said, "No way, it must have fallen down unintentionally when someone was moving her body." There were tears in her eyes, and she really looked very sad, even her voice was a little hoarse. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you really think your sister is dead?" Xue'er bit her lip, nodded vigorously, and said with a sob: "Not only do I know that she is dead, but I also know who killed her." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is it?" Xue'er said bitterly: "It's my unlucky cousin." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Shangguan Danfeng?" Xue'er said: "That's her, she not only killed my sister, but also killed Xiao Qiuyu, Dugu Fang, and Liu Yuhen." Lu Xiaofeng said: "These three people were all killed by her?" Xue'er nodded, and said: "I saw it with my own eyes. She and Liu Yuhen were in an inn room, talking and talking, and suddenly used her flying phoenix needle to kill Liu Yuhen with a single lift of her hand. And hid his dead body under the bed." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "Unexpectedly, Liu Yuhen, who wanted to die, died so quickly this time!" Xue'er said: "Feifengzhen is her unique hidden weapon. Seeing blood seals her throat, it is terribly poisonous. My sister must have been killed by her hidden weapon, but I don't know where she hid her dead body. gone." This sentence did not finish, her tears have flowed down. Lu Xiaofeng sighed again, and said: "What you said is really reasonable and reasonable, it's completely true, but it's a pity that I still don't believe a single word." Xue'er was not angry this time, but only shed tears, and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, you...you...you have already been fascinated by her." Lu Xiaofeng looked at her, but his determination was a little shaken, and he couldn't help asking: "She and your sister are also cousins, why did you kill your sister?" Xue'er gritted her teeth and said, "Who knows what she is doing for it? Maybe she has been hating my sister because my sister is smarter and prettier than her." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about Liu Yuhen? Didn't he always work for her loyally, why did she kill Liu Yuhen?" Xue'er said bitterly: "A woman like her who is more poisonous than a poisonous snake can even kill my sister. Who else can't she kill?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "I know you hate her, but..." Xue'er suddenly interrupted him, and said with a sneer: "You think I hate her because of you, and you think I'm jealous? Although she treats me well on the surface, she has been bullying me behind my back since she was a child..." Lu Xiaofeng also interrupted her suddenly, saying: "She is only nineteen this year, but you are already twenty, since you are older than her, how can she bully you?" Cher was speechless. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't bear it anymore, and said softly: "If you are really worried about your sister, you can rest assured now, because I know she is not dead yet!" Xue'er bit her lip, and said: "But when she killed Liu Yuhen, I did see it from outside the window with my own eyes, because I..." Her voice suddenly stopped, and she was stunned. That Liu Yuhen who had been hidden under the bed by Shangguan Danfeng unexpectedly reappeared. The night is foggy and misty, and the moonlight is hazy.Liu Yuhen was slowly walking in from the hazy moonlight, and walked into this small hotel. His ferocious and ugly face, seen under the moonlight, was even more indescribably hideous and terrifying. But his expression was very serene, and his voice was very soft, he looked at Xue Er and said: "If you have had enough fun outside, come back with me, the prince specially asked me to pick you up." Xue'er opened her eyes wide, and said in a stuttering voice, "You...you're not dead?" A look of sadness flashed across Liu Yuhen's eyes, and he said sadly: "Death is not always easy!" Xue'er said, "Where's my cousin?" Liu Yu said bitterly: "She also hopes that you will go back soon, you are still young, and it will not be too late to come out to play when you grow up; look at your cousin, now she wants to go wherever she wants, no one will care her." Xue'er looked at him, as if she was very scared, suddenly grabbed Lu Xiaofeng's hand, and shouted: "Please, don't let this person take me back, I'd rather be with you." Liu Yu said bitterly: "That will have to wait until you grow up, now you are still a child, adults have business to do, how can you follow along!" There was a car rattling and horse neighing outside, a carriage parked outside the door, it was the one that Lu Xiaofeng had also been in. Liu Yu said bitterly: "You'd better get in the car, get a good sleep in the car, and you'll be home!" Xueer finally left without even looking back. Lu Xiaofeng watched her get into the carriage, saw her pitiful appearance, couldn't help sighing, and murmured: "She is obviously a very cute girl, why does she always like to lie?" Hua Manlou had been sitting quietly, and suddenly said, "Everyone lies for a reason. Some people lie to deceive others, while others lie to deceive themselves." He sighed, and continued: "There are some more pitiful people who lie just to win other people's sympathy and want others to pay attention to her." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this because she lacked love and sympathy from others since she was a child?" Huamanlou said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said with a wry smile: "You're right, some people deserve to be forgiven even if they do something wrong, maybe I should have thought about them a long time ago..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found Liu Yuhen appeared outside the door again, looked at him, and said slowly: "Xue'er wants me to tell you something." Lu Xiaofeng was listening, and suddenly he noticed that there seemed to be a warm smile in the eyes of this terrifying person, and said: "She said she forgot to tell you that when you don't have a beard, you look better than when you have a beard." Much younger and much prettier." Lu Xiaofeng touched the beard that had just grown on his lips with his fingertips, he was stroking it all the way, from Yanbei to Shanxi, as if he only wanted his beard to grow back soon. Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You know I've never felt uncomfortable because I couldn't see, but now I really want to see what you look like after you shave off your beard?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It looks young and beautiful." Hua Manlou said: "Then why did you grow a beard before?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I'm already pretty enough, I'm afraid every woman in the world will be fascinated by me." Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You seem to be very angry these two days, are you angry with yourself?" Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "Why should I be angry with myself?" Hua Manlou said: "Because you feel that you are a little sorry for that poor, cute, and lying little girl, and you are a little worried. You don't know if she will be bullied and angry when she goes back."
