Chapter 16 The Sixteenth Chapter: A Stranger at Night

Walking close to the bamboo forest, the skinny man who was walking suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Your Excellency is Mr. Pei Da who will serve as the chief executive officer of Jiangnan Green Forest, right?" These twenty words came out of his mouth, and the pitch did not change. At this moment, it sounds even more like coming from the nether world. Pei Jue was stunned for a moment, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and he thought to himself: "Why do these two people also know my name? Could it be that they are also the opponents of that magic hand Zhan Fei, who came to harm me?" Looking up, I saw the frightening cold eyes of the skinny man, Sure enough, it was full of viciousness, and I couldn't help feeling chills in my heart. I almost wanted to deny it, but when I changed my mind, I thought to myself:

"Pei Jue, Pei Jue, have you really lost your former courage? Have you really become a coward who can only sigh? Even if you are going to be killed by these two people today, how can you do such a bad thing?" , despicable attitude!" Thinking of this, the blood boiled again in his heart, he raised his chest, and said in a loud voice: "That's right, I'm Pei Jue. I don't know if the two of you are summoned late at night. What can I tell you?" At this moment, he has completely ignored the matter of life and death, so that he no longer has any fear. The shrinking attitude just now is gone now Also swept away.

The ugly and cold face of the skinny man who was walking forward twisted slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "Your Excellency is young, but you are about to become the leader of countless martial arts heroes in the Jianghu. It is really gratifying and congratulatory." Although he said "Congratulations", his tone was still full of coldness. Chill, there is no half of the meaning of congratulating people. He paused for a while, before Pei Jue could answer, he saw a slight gesture of his hand and said to himself: "Boss Leng, why don't you come to see the future leader of Jiangnan Green Forest."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Jue felt a blur in front of his eyes, and another skinny man who was walking far behind him suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, with a cold face, he said slowly: "Your Excellency is young, but you are about to become the leader of countless martial arts heroes in the rivers and lakes. It is really gratifying and congratulatory." Turning his eyes, he looked at another skinny man, and said: "You and I really should meet this future leader of Jiangnan Green Forest." He repeated exactly what the skinny man had said earlier, Pei Jue couldn't help being taken aback, wondering what kind of mystery these two strange figures with blank faces were up to.

He was full of surprises and doubts in his heart, but he saw the eyes of "Boss Leng" slowly turn to his face, and said: "To tell you the truth, my two brothers came all the way from afar just to see what kind of person is this leader who overwhelms all the martial arts masters in the south of the Yangtze River?" Another skinny man continued coldly: "Now that I see you, Your Excellency is indeed very heroic, like a dragon and a phoenix among men." When these two people spoke, no matter whether they meant joy or compliment, their tone was completely cold and unchanged, so no matter whether they No matter what you say, people will involuntarily feel an unspeakable chill when they hear it.

Although Pei Jue was a very intelligent person, he couldn't help being at a loss as to the intention of these two people at this moment, and he didn't know how to answer their words at all. The cold sneer on the corner of the "Boss Leng" suddenly retracted, and he said with a more gloomy expression: "However, I am Lengkumu—" He intentionally paused his words slightly, and glanced at Pei Jue, but seeing that there was no sign of fright on Pei Jue's face because of the word "Lengkumu", he couldn't help but He was very surprised: "Could it be that he has never heard my name, or does he really have special skills, so that he will not be afraid of me?" Then he continued:

"I, Leng Kumu, have something to ask. Your Excellency has been honored as the leader of Jiangnan Wulin this time. I wonder if he was elected by fellow Jiangnan Wulin?" His tone was much gentler than before, but he didn't know that Pei Jue had never heard of the word "Lengkumu" when he first entered the Jianghu, so he didn't have the slightest hint of the name that people in the Jianghu would be displeased with. A state of fear. Pei Jue was stunned by one of them, but he heard the other skinny man also smile from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "I, Leng Hanzhu, also want to ask you something. Your Excellency has been honored as the leader of Jiangnan Wulin this time. If you were not selected by Jiangnan Wulin Xiangdao, then it is your skill; it has convinced all the heroes in Jiangnan Wulin. , so there is no need to ask for their consent?"

Pei Jue sighed secretly, thinking: "Actually, why do I agree with this matter?" He said in a muffled voice, unable to speak. I saw Lengkumu and Lenghanzhu sneer together, put their hands behind their backs, raised their heads slightly, their eyes were all looking at the sky, but they said coldly: "My brother's question, please answer quickly, so that my brother can... Hehe, hurry up and pay homage to Your Excellency." A gust of wind blew by, and Pei Jue felt that his cheeks were hot, as if he had a fever, but his hands and feet were cold. He was stunned for a long while, wishing that Wu Mingshi would stand beside him and answer for him. What the two said, they hated themselves for their clumsy tongue, for a moment, their hearts were filled with shame, and they thought:

"Pei Jue, Pei Jue, your skills are not amazing, and you have no reputation. Why do you want to be the leader of Jiangnan Wulin? No wonder people will come to question you." He was originally a very kind and upright person, at this moment he only thought that he really shouldn't be the chief executive, but he didn't think of what these two people would use to question him, so he only felt ashamed, but not angry Meaning, he let out a long sigh in secret before he was about to speak, but the Lengkumu suddenly lowered his eyes, and said coldly: "Since your Excellency is unwilling to answer my brothers' words, it must be because my brothers are not worthy to speak with the future chief executive of Jiangnan Green Forest."

Leng Hanzhu also lowered his eyes slowly, and said coldly: "Actually, you don't have to think too highly of yourself. Although my two brothers are neither the leader of the martial arts nor the leader of the bandits, they are still young and young like you. I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, but I have the cheek to close the door." , the ignorant child who claimed to be the chief scooper of the Jiangnan Green Forest is slightly better." Pei Jue raised his sword eyebrows, but he felt furious in his heart, and said loudly: "What kind of boss position, you guys think it's very rare, but I don't even want to do it at all, why do you insult me ​​like this? Could it be that I offended you in some way?"

Leng Hanzhu stared at him blankly, as if he didn't hear what he said, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Boss Leng, can you hear what this lunatic who doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is talking?" Leng Kumu lowered his head, pondered for a while pretending to be contemplative, and said: "He seems to be questioning you, why did you say such unreasonable things to him just now." Leng Hanzhu turned his gaze, looked at Pei Jue sternly, and said: "Are you extremely dissatisfied with what I just said, then—Your Excellency must punish you." Although Pei Jue felt that he shouldn't be the chief executive, but in his life, he couldn't bear other people's contempt and insult. At this moment, he couldn't help but get angry, and Xuanmei said angrily: "I don't know you before. What is the purpose of you leading me here in the middle of the night and teasing me like this? Hmph, although you are boring, I don't want to talk to boring people." Turning around , strode back. Unexpectedly, he moved only half a step, and there was a blur in front of his eyes. This skinny, cold dry wood and cold bamboo, which are worthy of the name, are standing side by side to block his way. how the shape moves. Pei Jue stopped and said angrily: "You guys are getting old, but when you do things, you are like urchins. You don't say what you want, but now you block my way. What do you want to do to me? Please—" Leng Hanzhu sneered, cut off his words, and said: "My brother asked you just now, if you don't answer quickly, hehe, I'm afraid your Excellency will be promoted again." Lengkumu frowned as if puzzled, and asked: "He is now the chief executive of Jiangnan Green Forest. If he is promoted to another level, what is he promoted for?" Leng Hanzhu smiled coldly and said: "Upgrade to another level, and you will be promoted to the Jiuyou Difu to become the King of Hades." The dead wood and cold bamboo two people, twins of one mother, have been connected with each other since they were young. When they speak at this moment, they sing and answer, as if singing a double reed. If Pei Jue had been around the rivers and lakes for a long time, he would know that the behavior of these two brothers was unpredictable, and they were already well-known in the rivers and lakes. When people in the martial arts mentioned "Lenggu Shuangmu", no one would frown secretly. It's just that Pei Jue has just entered the rivers and lakes , and no one has ever told him these martial arts anecdotes, at this moment, he only feels that these two people are extremely disgusting, but he doesn't know that his life is at stake in the face of these two demons. He raised his sword eyebrows angrily, and shouted loudly: "Let me tell you, my martial arts can neither convince the Jiangnan martial arts masters, nor have they elected me to be the chief executive. I don't want to do it myself, but someone insists on asking me to do it. You If the two of you are jealous, you might as well call—" Leng Hanzhu sneered coldly again, cut off his words again, and said coldly: "Since your Excellency said so, that's great, but—" He paused again, turned his head and said: "Boss Leng, you are also a member of Jiangnan martial arts, do you agree with this 'Mr. Pei Da' to do it?" Where is our chief executive?" Lengkumu was stunned deliberately, then shook his head and said: "I'm a little reluctant." Leng Hanzhu said: "Then what should we do?" Lengkumu shook his head again and said, "Then what should I do? I don't know either." Leng Hanzhu made a sneer at the corner of his mouth desolately, and said: "You don't want to, and I don't want to, but someone insists on him doing it. It's really difficult. I think—Boss Leng, we just have to kill him." The tone is calm, and the tone is still without any ups and downs. Although he is talking about the life and death of another person, his tone is as if he is talking about family affairs. In his eyes, other people's lives seem to have no value. Pei Jue's heart trembled, but the cold and withered tree couldn't help shaking his hands and said: "It's also a bit inappropriate." Leng Hanzhu said: "What?" Leng Kumu said: "Isn't it a pity that you killed him at such a young age?" Leng Hanzhu said: "Then what should we do?" Lengkumu deliberately pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Mr. Pei Da, my brother wants to kill you. What do you think should I do? I think you should leave early. If you don't want to be the boss, my brother won't be killed. is you." Although Pei Jue didn't want to be used by the magic hand Zhan Fei to be the boss, but at the moment when he heard the words of Leng Kumu, he puffed out his chest and shouted loudly: "If you didn't say that, I would have decided to be the chief executive, but if you said that, I would have to be the leader today." Spreading his arms, he wanted to separate the two of them, and passed through the middle , who knows that the tentacles are cold and hard, like fine steel. He was startled inwardly, retreated back, but heard the cold withered tree smile coldly again, saying: "If you can push my two brothers away half a step, then my two brothers will not only let you go back to rest in peace immediately, but also when you formally assume the role of the chief executive officer of Jiangnan Green Forest, my two brothers will definitely come forward first." Come to congratulate, otherwise—huh!" He snorted coldly, and stopped his words. The dead wood boss Leng in "Lenggu Shuangmu" is indeed worthy of being a famous martial arts figure. Just now when Pei Jue reached out and touched his shoulder, he knew that this young man's martial arts were ordinary. He didn't even have any martial arts, although he was wondering how this person could become the chief executive of the Jiangnan Green Forest Road, but he no longer had the feeling of the young man's unpredictable and profound martial arts in his heart, so he is now alone. He said this because he already knew that Pei Jue had absolutely no possibility of pushing his figure. Pei Jue just made a touch, so why didn't he know that if he wanted to push these two away, he would be like a dragonfly trying to shake a stone pillar, but his nature would rather give in than give in, telling him to bow his head and admit defeat is absolutely impossible , at the Jianmei Pavilion, shouted loudly, stretched out his palms quickly, and pushed towards the Leng brothers. When the palms touched, he couldn't help being surprised again, it turned out that he actually felt that the bodies of the Leng brothers were no longer as firm as steel, but as soft as cotton, but there was no strength at all. Although I have put all the strength in my whole body into my palms, but when I use this strength on others, it seems like a stone sinks into the ocean, without even a single response. When I looked up, I saw the two Leng brothers with the same expression on their faces. There was no expression on his face, nor did he show any effort. He was startled and wanted to withdraw his palms, but the moment his palms touched his body, a sudden heat emanated from Leng Shi Shuangmu's body, which sucked Pei Jue's palms. Shocked, Pei Jue bent his right leg back and straightened his left leg. The force of pushing forward was replaced by force of retreating. Who would have thought that the heat would intensify several times in the blink of an eye, and Pei Jue felt as if his arms were placed in an oven, burning people's hearts hotly.The strength of my whole body, along with this gradually increasing heat, was invisible bit by bit. The stronger the heat, the weaker his strength, and even his legs became vacant, and he couldn't even stand firmly. The pain on his right arm was even more painful, as if countless roots had been taken out of the fire. Pointed needles, stuck in himself. It must be known that the injury on his right arm has not healed at all, although just now he forgot the pain in his arm due to fear and resentment, but at this moment when he feels it, he feels pain in his heart and bones. The cold and cold eyes turned on his face indifferently, and said coldly: "Why is it that Mr. Pei Da, who is about to be appointed as the leader of the Jiangnan Green Forest, can't even push the two of my brothers standing? Hmph, I don't think you're doing it right." He paused slightly, turned his gaze, and saw that Pei Jue's face was full of pain. Knowing that his "two poles profound art" had caused the young man to suffer incomparably, he sneered again: "Although my second brother has a bad temper, I, Leng Kuimu, am the kindest person in the world. Seeing Your Excellency in such pain, I really can't bear it. Alas——Actually, as long as Your Excellency swears that you will never be that kind-hearted person again, I will take care of you." Then I let you go back immediately, alas—this burning feeling is really uncomfortable." He sighed twice in a row, showing a look of pity and compassion, but Pei Jue heard it, but it was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. But he still clenched his teeth and never groaned.It is ten times more difficult for this stubborn young man to say a word of begging for mercy than to kill him. Leng Hanzhu sneered and said: "Boss Leng is afraid that you will be uncomfortably hot. Why do I, second brother Leng, bother to be a villain? I'd better let you cool down." Before he finished speaking, Pei Jue felt that the iron he touched suddenly turned into black ice. The whole body is also like being in an ice cellar. Suddenly, one cold and one hot, the difference between hot and cold was tens of thousands of times, Pei Jue fought a cold war, and the joints of his whole body seemed to be inserted with an ice needle, which was comparable to any torture in the world. It was a million times more painful, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it, although he knew he couldn't bear it for much longer. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead drop by drop, and then his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered for it, but his gaze was still staring at the face of the Leng brothers without fear. Above, Bio seemed to tell them: "Even though you can make me suffer physically, you can't make me suffer mentally. Even though you can kill me immediately, if you want me to beg for mercy, you will never think about it again!" Leng Gu Shuangmu also couldn't help secretly praising him in his heart: "What a tough guy." But there is more in his heart to get rid of this person's heart, and the internal force he sends out is even heavier. After another moment, Pei Jue thought to himself: "That's all." He seemed to see the face of death in front of him, and just as his head was pressed down on him, at this moment he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sadness in his heart, and he quietly fell in love with it. He closed his eyes and said in his heart: "Wen Qi, Lu Zhen, you don't know, I will never see you again." He sighed sadly. This stubborn young man is not afraid of death, but only feels that his life in this life is actually like this. It was short and plain, and there was nothing he could be proud of, but he didn't know that just this arrogance was enough to make him proud. What made it hard for him was that he felt that he owed a lot of people's kindness, and he would never be able to repay it. The figure of the fat man with three gold teeth in his mouth seemed to appear in front of his eyes again. Giving has made him unforgettable forever, but he doesn't remember those who persecuted him at all. It must be very unbearable for people to feel before they die, right?Especially when he is regretting the shortness of his life and thinking about the love of the world. Although he loves life, he refuses to give in to life, but silently accepts death. I don't know-- There was a sudden burst of silver bell-like laughter behind him, and an incomparably soft voice said clearly: "Uncle Leng, Uncle Leng, who are you chatting with? If I hadn't jumped up from the top of the forest and saw someone here, I really wouldn't have known you had come here." She sighed tenderly and said again : "The scenery here is really beautiful, there are small streams, bamboo forests, and a small bridge over there. At that time, I saw a sentence written by someone else, "Small bridges and flowing water." I was surprised. There are small bridges and flowing water everywhere. , what is there to sing about, who knows that the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River are really indescribably beautiful, ah! Uncle Leng, you guys are really enjoying yourself, and you actually came here to chat." This delicate voice was talking and laughing like pearls falling on a jade plate. Pei Jue, who was about to be in a coma, couldn't help being clear when he heard the voice, and turned his head away hard—— — Where the eyes moved, I saw a young girl in a green shirt standing quietly behind her, with a green scarf pulling her head, spring mountains as eyebrows, autumn water as eyes, the evening wind of spring night made her slender waist and limbs look like willows, with a pair of bright eyes looking at her. Seeing Pei Jue who turned his head, he seemed to be taken aback suddenly, and blurted out: "It's you!" As soon as this beautiful figure came into Pei Jue's eyes, Pei Jue felt as if someone had hit him in the chest, his mind became dizzy, and he almost forgot the pain he was suffering. At this moment, in the eyes of the two people who looked at each other, the sky and the earth seemed to have forgotten their colors. The flowing water in the creek no longer flowed eastward, the twinkling stars no longer twinkled, and even the brilliant round of The beautiful and bright moon has also lost its original brilliance. Because, in her eyes, she couldn't see anything but him, and in his eyes, she couldn't see anything else except her. The long years, the long parting, the pain of parting, and the painful lovesickness, at the moment when their eyes meet, they all have compensation. What a wonderful thing life is! The Lengkumu and Lenghanzhu looked at each other, each of them flicked their sleeves, and took three steps back.Mouth said: "Wen Qi, do you recognize him?" But the girl didn't listen to them at all, her eyes were still fixed on Pei Jue's face. Pei Jue felt the pressure loosen all over his body, his palms fell softly, and all the joints in his body seemed to be loose, and he could hardly support his body anymore, and he was about to fall to the ground, but he miraculously supported his body. Living. Because in the girl's eyes, there seems to be a kind of power that can make him give birth to incomparable courage. For these eyes, he is willing to endure all pain and eat all the pain. More than a year of homelessness, hunger, Cold, bullying, disappointment... He endured all of them because it was for her. She is Tan Wenqi who lives in Pei Jue's heart all the time, and makes Pei Jue live in her heart all the time. The moonlight, like the gold in a child's dream, gently reflected on her body. She moved slowly, walking towards Pei Jue step by step, and said softly: "It's you, it's you, it's really you." The voice was as soft as moonlight, and two drops of crystal clear tears came out dazzlingly, and slowly fell down along her delicate and flowery face. Do tears sometimes mean too much joy?
