Chapter 22 The 21st round of revealing the true feelings

Xiao Shishilang and Shen Bijun were brought into a room. At this point, they can no longer be separated. They only admit that they are husband and wife. The room is naturally very comfortable and exquisite, everything is placed where it should be, and there is absolutely nothing missing that should be there. Anyone who lives here should be satisfied. But Shen Bijun just stood there, not moving.No matter how delicate the things in this room were, she was unwilling to even touch them with her fingers. It seemed to her that everything in this room was under the spell of a demon, and if she touched it, she would go mad immediately.

After a long time, Xiao Shishilang turned around slowly, facing her, and said, "You sleep, I will guard here." Shen Bijun bit his lip and shook his head. Xiao Shishilang said softly: "You look very weak, we must not fall down now." Shen Bijun said: "I... I can't sleep." Xiao Shishilang smiled and said, "You haven't slept yet, how do you know you can't sleep?" Shen Bijun's eyes slowly moved to the bed. The bed was huge, gorgeous and very comfortable. Shen Bijun shrank back suddenly, his lips trembled, and wanted to speak, but after trying several times, he couldn't utter a word.

Xiao Shishilang looked at her quietly and said, "Are you afraid?" Shen Bijun nodded, then shook his head again. Xiao Shishilang sighed, and said, "Are you afraid of me?... Are you afraid that I will become like those people?" Tears suddenly came to Shen Bijun's eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm really scared, very scared. I'm scared of everyone here, I'm scared of everything, I'm scared to death, but..." She suddenly raised her head again, fixed her tearful eyes on Xiao Shishilang, and said, "I'm not afraid of you, I know you will never change."

Xiao Shishilang said softly: "Since you believe in me, you should listen to me." Shen Bijun said: "But...but..." She rushed over suddenly, threw herself into Xiao Shishilang's arms, hugged him tightly, and cried bitterly: "But what should we do? What should we do? Are we really going to live here for the rest of our lives, with those... those ...these people lived their entire lives?" Xiao Shishilang's face also turned pale, and he said slowly: "There is always a way, don't worry, there is always a way." Shen Bijun said: "But you are not sure."

Xiao Shishilang's eyes seemed far away, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I'm really not sure." He quickly added: "But we still have hope." Shen Bijun said: "Hope? What hope?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Maybe I can think of a way to break the curse of Mr. Tian." Shen Bijun said: "How long will it take? Ten years? Twenty years?" She raised her head and said with tears, "Please, please let me do one thing." Xiao Shishilang said, "Say it." Shen Bijun said: "I beg you to let me go to the devil's ceremony, I am willing to go, don't say you want me to stay here for ten or twenty years, even if you ask me to stay one more day, I will go crazy."

Xiao Shishilang said: "You..." Shen Bijun didn't let him speak, and then said: "Although I am not your wife, but...for you, I am willing to die. As long as you can live well, it doesn't matter what you call me." These words, she had already decided to hide them in her heart forever, until she died—— But now, life has become so humble and hopeless, and everything in the world is so far away from them, what else does she worry about?Why can't she reveal her true feelings? Xiao Shishilang felt the blood in his body suddenly boil, and couldn't help hugging her tightly.

It was the first time he hugged her. At this moment, honor and disgrace, life and death, have become insignificant. Life seems to exist just for this moment. After a long time, Shen Bijun let out a breath slowly and weakly, and said, "You...you agreed?" Xiao Shishilang said: "If you want to go, I should go." Shen Bijun suddenly raised his head, almost shouting, "You—" Xiao Shishilang gently covered her mouth, and said: "You have a family, relatives, future, and hope, and you should be alive. But what about me? I'm just an insignificant tramp with nothing, If I die, no one will care."

The tears in Shen Bijun's eyes flowed out like a spring again, wetting Xiao Shishilang's hands. Xiao Shishilang moved his hand away from her mouth, gently wiping away her tears. Shen Bijun said sadly: "It turns out that you don't understand my heart, you don't understand at all. Otherwise, how could you say that no one cares about you after you die? If you die, I...I..." Xiao Shishilang said softly, "I understand everything." Shen Bijun said: "Then why did you say that?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Although I said that, I'm not really going to do that devil's sacrifice!"

He focused on Shen Bijun, and continued word by word: "I will never allow you to go either!" Shen Bijun said: "Then...then are you going to spend your whole life here?" She lowered her head and continued softly: "With you, even if I live in hell, I won't complain, but here... here is more evil than hell, more terrifying than hell!" Xiao Shishilang said: "Of course we have to find a way to get out of here, but we must not use that method." Shen Bijun said: "Why?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Because if we did that, the result would be even more tragic."

Shen Bijun said: "Do you think Mr. Tian will not keep his promise?" Xiao Shishilang said: "I think this is just a trap. Not only does he want us to die, but before we die, he also tries to play tricks on us, torture us, and make us miserable!" With anger in his eyes, he continued: "I think he is not only a devil, but also a lunatic!" Shen Bijun stopped talking. Xiao Shishilang said: "If we are willing to sacrifice our loved ones and beg him for mercy in order to live, he will not only let us go, but will also mock and ridicule us." Shen Bijun said: "But you are not sure, are you?"

She obviously wasn't holding out hope yet. Most women are more optimistic than men, because they don't see so deeply and far. Xiao Shishilang said: "But I'm sure he's a lunatic. What's more, the method he said is full of contradictions. Just imagine that if a person wants to live for himself, he will not hesitate to sacrifice his wife. Isn't it obvious that he wants to live for himself?" His life is more important than his wife's, since he values ​​his own life the most, he should use his life as a sacrifice, since he has already sacrificed his life, why should he beg others to let him go?" He seldom spoke so much. When he said this, he paused for a while before continuing: "If a person is dead, what magic can hold him?" Shen Bijun was silent for a while, then suddenly held Xiao Shishilang's hand tightly, and said, "Since we have no hope, we might as well die now!" "Death", no matter what anyone says, is a very painful thing. But when Shen Bijun mentioned "death", her eyes became extremely bright, and a strange blush appeared on her face. "Death" seemed to her a very exciting thing. She leaned her head on Xiao Shishilang's shoulder, and said faintly: "I don't know what you think, but I have already felt that living is painful, and only 'death' is the best relief!" Xiao Shishilang said softly: "Sometimes, death is indeed a relief, but it is only the relief of the cowards and the weak! Not to mention..." His voice suddenly became very firm, and said: "It's not time to die yet, we must at least try first, can we escape?" Shen Bijun said: "But what the owner said is also very reasonable. In the eyes of others, we are no different from ants. As long as a small stone is used, we can be crushed to death." Xiao Shishilang said: "It's not easy to escape, so I have to do three things first." Shen Bijun said: "Which three?" Xiao Shishilang said: "First, I have to wait until the injury is better." He smiled, and continued: "That Tiangong obviously doesn't want me to die too soon, he has already treated my wounds, and I don't know what kind of magic or medicine he used, anyway, it works very well, I want to live again In a few days, my injury may heal." Shen Bijun took a deep breath and said, "I hope so." Xiao Shishilang said: "Second, I have to find out the magic and secrets to crack him first." Shen Bijun said: "Do you think that the secret is really in this villa? Do you think he didn't lie about it?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Everyone has a tendency to gamble, and lunatics especially like to gamble, so he will definitely leave a loophole on purpose, betting whether we can find it or not." Shen Bijun sighed, "What's the third thing?" Xiao Shishilang looked out of the window and said, "Did you see those two people in the pavilion?" The remnant game just now is over, and the two old men are drinking and chatting.The old man in red clothes took the hand of the old man in green robe and pointed at the chessboard, obviously trying to persuade him to play another game. A person who has lost chess always hopes that there will be a second game until he wins. Xiao Shishilang said: "I always think these two old men are very special." Shen Bijun said: "Special?" Xiao Shishilang said: "If my guess is correct, these two must also be martial arts masters who have long disappeared in the Jianghu, and they are much more terrifying than Lei Yu and Long Feiji." Shen Bijun said: "So, you want to find out who the two of them are first?" Xiao Shishilang sighed: "I only hope that they are not the two people I imagined, otherwise, we may not be able to break through just them." endure. Shen Bijun has learned patience since childhood. Because in her world, everyone thinks that the first thing a woman should learn is patience. If a woman cannot endure, she is a sin. So Shen Bijun also thinks that "patience" is a woman's duty. But then, she suddenly felt that many things were simply unbearable. In such a place, she could barely survive a day. Now, four or five days have passed. She wasn't dead, and she wasn't mad. Only then did she realize that patience is purposeful and conditional. People can endure almost everything for the sake of their loved ones. Especially women. Because most women don't live for themselves, but for their loved ones—for her husband, for her children. In the past four or five days, Shen Bijun suddenly felt that he seemed to have grown up a lot... The courtyard is almost square, just like the "siheyuan" in Beijing. As soon as you enter the gate and pass through the courtyard, you will find the hall. There is also a yard behind the hall, which is usually called "patio". On both sides of the patio, there are two rows of wing rooms. The back row of rooms was used by the master as a boudoir bedroom for himself and his concubines. There is also a small courtyard next to it, which is the residence and kitchen of the servants. Lei Yu lived in the wing on the east side. He, his two "wives" and four maids occupied a total of four bedrooms and a small hall. The remaining two rooms are where Long Fei lives. Long Feiji is a very strange person, he has no interest in women, nor in wine, he just likes to eat, and he eats a lot. When he ate, he didn't ask whether he was eating chicken or duck?Doesn't matter if it's delicious or not?I just kept stuffing all kinds of things into my stomach. The strangest thing was that the more he ate, the thinner he became. In the row of houses on the west, there are five doors that are always closed. It is said that the two mysterious old people lived in these five houses. But Xiao Shishilang never saw them go in, nor did he see them come out. Xiao Shishilang and Shen Bijun live in the remaining two rooms in the west wing, one is a bedroom and the other is a dining room. Every day when it was time to eat, someone would bring the food. The dishes are exquisite, and there is wine. The wine is very mellow and a lot, enough to get seven or eight people drunk. Drunk can escape many things. Here, Xiao Shishilang seldom sees a completely sober person. In the past few days, he has been familiar with everything here. What the master said is true, as long as you don't go out of the scope of this house, you can move absolutely freely, no matter where you think, no matter what you want, no one will interfere. But since he drank the wine that day, Xiao Shishilang has never seen his master again, and it is said that he rarely shows up at ordinary times. If a person has to deal with more than a dozen beautiful concubines, one day is too short, so where is the time to do other things? After breakfast every day, Xiao Shishilang wandered around, as if he was interested in everything, and greeted everyone with a smile. Except for Lei Yu and Long Feiji, he rarely saw other men. The girls who came in and out also seemed to be very interested in his big shiny eyes. Whenever he looked at them with a smile, their smiles became even sweeter. As soon as Xiao Shishilang left, Shen Bijun closed the door tightly. She is not afraid of being alone. She has spent most of her life in loneliness. Now, it is the fifth day. The dinner dishes are roasted pork with bamboo shoots, scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, sliced ​​chicken with hibiscus, fried three dishes, a large plate of smoked sausage and sauce belly, and a large bowl of bok choy meatball soup. It is the master chef in the north who is on duty in the kitchen today. Shen Bijun was in a slightly better mood, because she already knew that Xiao Shishilang liked to eat northern tastes, and these dishes were just to his liking. She was going to have a drink with him. Usually, as soon as the food is delivered, Xiao Shishilang almost follows him in. When eating, he always talks a lot. No matter what he said, Shen Bijun liked to listen. Only then would she forget for a moment her fear and gloom, what a horrible place this was, and how miserable their experience was. But today, the food was cold, but Xiao Shishilang hadn't come back yet. In fact, she has had many such experiences. Since the second month of marriage, she often waited until the food was completely cold, and reheated it several times, but Lian Chengbi hadn't come back yet.For almost twenty-eight days in a month, she ate alone. She was quite used to it. But today, her mind was very disturbed. She picked up the chopsticks several times and put them down again. She could almost see through her eyes, but she still couldn't see Xiao Shishilang's shadow. Xiao Shishilang never asked her to wait, what happened today? Did something terrible happen to him again? In a place like this, anything can happen. Shen Bijun suddenly realized that he was so dependent on Xiao Shishilang and missed him so deeply that he could hardly leave him even for a moment. The hibiscus chicken slices were frozen, even the soup was completely cold. Shen Bijun gritted his teeth, opened the door quietly, and walked out quietly. This is the first time she has left the house. Every seven or eight steps on the corridor, there are palace gauze lanterns hanging.She suddenly found someone leaning on the railing, looking at her with a smile. It's a thunderstorm. Shen Bijun wanted to go back, but it was too late. Lei Yu was already greeting her with a smile, wouldn't it be too rude for her to back away at this time? Under the light, the pockmarks on Lei Yu's face seemed denser and deeper. Every pockmark seemed to be smiling at her, the smile was so ambiguous and hateful. Shen Bijun nodded reluctantly, trying to rush past him as soon as possible. She must go to Xiao Shishilang. Lei Yu suddenly stopped her and said with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?" Shen Bijun said: "Yes." Lei Yu said: "Today, Lao Gao is in charge. It is said that he was originally the master chef of 'Lu Ming Xiang' in the capital, and his craftsmanship is very good." Shen Bijun said: "Oh." Lei Yu said: "Although this yard is not very big, if you are not accompanied by someone, you will get lost. If the girl accidentally breaks into the owner's house, it will not be fun." Shen Bijun said with a straight face, "Who is the girl?" Lei Yu said, "It's not a girl, it's Madam?" Shen Bijun said: "Hmph." Lei Yu smiled and said, "Madam, do you know where your husband is now?" Shen Bijun's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "You know?" Lei Yu said: "Of course I know." Shen Bijun forced himself to look better, and said, "But I don't know where he is, I was just looking for him." Lei Yu said leisurely: "In my opinion, it's better not to look for it, because it will be troublesome if you look for it." Shen Bijun's heart skipped a beat again, and he said, "Why?" Lei Yu laughed even more hatefully, and said, "You want me to tell the truth?" Shen Bijun said: "Of course." Lei Yu said: "You know, there are many beautiful little girls here, all young and lonely, and your husband is not an ugly man." He squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Although madam is beautiful, but I have eaten delicacies from mountains and seas for a long time, and I want to change my taste..." Shen Bijun was already trembling with anger, and couldn't help saying loudly: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Lei Yu laughed and said, "You don't believe it? Shall I take you to see it? Although that little girl is not as beautiful as you, she is younger than you. As long as a woman is young, a man will have an appetite." Shen Bijun was so angry that even his lips trembled. Lei Yu said: "I advise you, it's better to take things lightly. The people here take this kind of thing very lightly, just like eating rice. If he can find another woman, why can't you find another woman?" Man? Anyway, everyone is looking for fun, and if the two are evened out, they will feel better." His eyes were narrowed into a line, and he stretched out his hand to pull Shen Bijun, saying: "Come on, there is no need to be ashamed, anyway, sooner or later, you will inevitably have to go with others..." Shen Bijun didn't let him say the following word, but suddenly slapped him across the face. Lei Yu didn't seem to expect her to move so quickly, and was stunned. Shen Bijun hid his hands in his sleeves, stared at him, and stepped back step by step. Lei Yu covered his face with his hands, and suddenly said with a smirk: "You are toasting and not eating fine wine. When you get here, even if you are really chaste and strong, you can't help but you don't follow, and you can't escape." He pushed forward step by step. Shen Bijun shouted: "Stop, if you take one more step forward, I will kill you with golden needles!" Lei Yu was startled, and said, "Golden Needle?" Shen Bijun said: "Since you have traveled around the rivers and lakes, you must have heard of the Shen family's golden needle, which seals the throat at the sight of blood, hits a hundred times, are you sure you can avoid it?" As expected, Lei Yu stopped and said, "Who are you from Taijun Shen?" Shen Bijun said: "I am her granddaughter..." Before finishing this sentence, she had retreated into the room and closed the door with a "bang"! There was no movement outside the door for a long time, and the thunderstorm seemed to have been really scared off by the Shen family's golden needles. Shen Bijun leaned against the door, panting continuously. Her heart was hurting, so painful that she almost forgot her fear and anger. "...She is younger than you...As long as a woman is young, a man has an appetite...Your husband is looking for another woman...Do you want me to take you to see..." These words were like needles piercing her heart. Although Xiao Shishilang was not her husband, for some reason, even if she knew that Lian Chengbi had another woman, she would not be in such pain as she is now. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I never believe it... He will never do such a thing!" But why hasn't he come back yet? There are a total of more than thirty girls here, all of whom are beautiful and good at smiling. Only one of them never smiled at Xiao Shishilang, or even looked at him. The girl's name is "Su Yan". Xiao Shishilang is now lying on Su Yan's bed. Su Yan's head was resting on Xiao Shishilang's broad chest. Her eyes are closed, her eyelashes are very long, and the corners of her eyes are upward. It can be seen that when she opens her eyes, she must be very charming - as long as a woman has a pair of charming eyes, it is enough to conquer a man. What's more, she is also beautiful in other places. Even though she was covered by the quilt, she could still see that her legs were beautiful, her body was firm and elastic, but her lines were soft, neither too plump nor too thin. The room was originally very quiet, but at this moment, there was a burst of soft laughter like silver bells. There are many kinds of women's smiles.Most women can only laugh with their mouths. Their laughter is just a sound, and some people's laughter can even make a lot of goosebumps.Women who can smile with facial expressions are rare. If they can smile with eyebrows, eyes, and nose, when a man sees this kind of woman smiling, he will often see that his eyeballs are about to protrude. There is also a kind of woman who can laugh all over her body. When they smile, they not only have various expressions, but also smile at you with their chests, waists and legs. If a man meets this kind of woman, he has almost no other choice but to bow down under his skirt and surrender obediently. Su Yan is this kind of woman. Her chest heaved, her waist twisted, her legs rubbed. Xiao Shishilang was not a wooden man, he couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?" Su Yan said: "I'm laughing at you." Xiao Shishilang said, "Laughing at me?" Su Yan said: "You, it's not honest to have such a beautiful wife." Xiao Shishilang also laughed, and said, "Which man is honest?" Su Yan chuckled and said, "Some people say that a man is like a teapot and a woman is a teacup. A teapot must be matched with several teacups." Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "The metaphor is wonderful, who did you hear it from?" Su Yan said: "Of course the man said it, but..." She put up half her body, stared at Xiao Shishilang and said, "All the girls here are very beautiful, why did you pick me?" Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "If a person wants to steal something, of course he has to choose the best one." Su Yan bit her lip and said, "But I haven't even glanced at you, how do you know I'll fall for you?" Xiao Shishilang said: "The more prudish a woman is, the easier it is to be baited. Men understand this truth." Before he finished speaking, Su Yan had already jumped on him, pestering Buyi and said: "What, you say I'm a prudish? Do you think I'm going to sleep with someone casually? To tell you the truth, Lei Yu wanted to seduce me, and he already It's crazy to think about it, but I get angry when I see the pockmarked face on his face." Xiao Shishilang suppressed a smile and said, "What's wrong with pockmarks? Nine out of ten pockmarks are pretty, and some women really like pockmarks! Besides, when the lights are turned off, they're not all the same." Su Yan slapped him lightly, and scolded him with a smile: "I originally thought that Leimazi was already bad enough, but who knew you were even worse than him." Xiao Shishilang said: "The men here probably don't have a single good thing except Long Feiji." Su Yan said: "Not bad at all." Xiao Shishilang said: "What about the two old men? Apart from playing chess, they probably don't have any other interests, right?" Su Yan curled her lips, and said with a sneer, "Then you are wrong. These two are old but not old. Except for the ones left by the owner, which of the girls here has not been bullied by them?" Xiao Shishilang said, "Where's Lei Yu's wife?" Su Yan said: "Those two coquettish foxes were sent to the door by themselves." Xiao Shishilang said: "Is Lei Yu willing to wear a cuckold?" Su Yan said: "Although Lei Dazi is showing off his power in front of others, but seeing the two of them, he dare not even fart." Xiao Shishilang blinked, and said: "Lei Yu is young and strong, and knows martial arts, why should he be afraid of those two bad old men?" Su Yan suddenly stopped talking. Xiao Shishilang said: "These two old men's martial arts are better than thunderstorms?" Su Yan still didn't speak. Xiao Shishilang said: "Do you know their surnames? What's their name?" Su Yan said: "I don't know." Xiao Shishilang smiled and said, "When did they come? You should know this, right?" Su Yan said: "I don't know, they were already here when I came." Xiao Shishilang said: "When did you come?" Su Yan said: "It's been several years." Xiao Shishilang said: "How did you come here?" Su Yan forced a smile, and said, "Isn't it just like you, coming here in a daze." Xiao Shishilang said: "You are still young, do you really want to spend your whole life in such a ghostly place?" Su Yan sighed, and said: "Since we've arrived here, we have to accept our fate." She leaned on Xiao Shishilang again, and said in a tired voice: "Everyone is happy, why are you talking about this kind of thing? Come..." Just as Xiao Shishilang put his arms around her, he suddenly cried out in pain. Su Yan said: "What are you doing? Cramp?" Xiao Shishilang panted, and said, "No...no, it's my injury...the injury hasn't healed yet." Su Yan blushed, bit her lip, poked his nose with her hand, and scolded with a smile: "I picked you here and there, unexpectedly, I picked you, a short-lived sick ghost!" Shen Bijun sat at the dining table with his head down, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried. The food on the table did not even move. Xiao Shishilang knocked on the door for a long time before it opened. Usually, whenever Xiao Shishilang comes back, Shen Bijun will have a smile like a spring flower on his face. But today, she kept her head down, and only asked softly, "Have you eaten outside?" Xiao Shishilang said: "No, what about you?...Why don't you eat first?" Shen Bijun said: "I... I'm not hungry yet." She lowered her head, filled a bowl of rice, placed it lightly in front of Xiao Shishilang, and said, "The dishes are getting cold, you can eat whatever you want... These dishes are all your favorites." Xiao Shishilang suddenly felt that as long as she was there, even this place would be filled with the warmth of home. Shen Bijun also filled half a bowl of rice, and sat beside him and ate slowly. For some unknown reason, Xiao Shiguanglang suddenly felt a little apologetic in his heart, as if he wanted to find something to say, but he just didn't know how to say it. It's also like a husband who has done something wrong outside. When he returns home, he always tries to be as gentle as possible. The less the wife speaks, the more sorry the husband feels. Xiao Shishilang finally said: "In the past few days, I have measured the front and back of this yard." Shen Bijun said: "Oh?" Xiao Shishilang said: "I always feel that there are more than twenty-eight rooms in this place. There should be at least thirty rooms. Unfortunately, I have searched and searched, but I can't find where the two extra rooms are. ?” Shen Bijun was silent for a while, then said softly: "There are a lot of girls here, and the girls' mouths are always faster, why don't you ask them?" Xiao Shishilang finally understood why she was angry. It turned out that she was jealous, jealous for him. As long as it is a man, it is always very pleasant to know that a woman is jealous of him. Xiao Shishilang also felt sweet in his heart. He had never felt this way in his life. It took a long time before he decided to tell the truth. He smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to ask, but unfortunately I didn't ask anything." He suddenly continued: "But the tighter their words, the more it proves that they must be hiding something, that there must be some ulterior secret here, as long as I know this, that's enough." Shen Bijun was silent for a long while, and then said softly: "Aren't you going to ask them again?" Xiao Shishilang stared at her, and said slowly: "I will never go again." Shen Bijun lowered his head even lower, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. She didn't want to laugh at first, but this smile came from the bottom of her heart, how could she hold it back? Seeing her smile, Xiao Shishilang felt hungry, quickly removed the rice in the bowl, and said: "The little girl has already asked, tomorrow I should ask the old man." Shen Bijun said sweetly, "I think...you will come back earlier tomorrow than today." Before she could finish her sentence, her own face turned red. It is a headache for women to be too jealous, but if women are not jealous at all, wouldn't the men's fun be reduced a lot? On the sixth day, it was sunny. Xiao Shishilang walked to the front garden, only to find that the wall was very high, almost as high as five or six people, and the corner door that was originally open was closed and locked. Who locked the door?for what? In the eyes of Mr. Tian, ​​these people are no different from ants. Even if they escaped, they can be picked up with just two fingers, so why should they be guarded so tightly? There seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of Xiao Shishilang's mouth. At some point, the old man started drinking and playing chess in the octagonal pavilion again. Xiao Shishilang walked over slowly, stood beside them with his hands behind his back, watching quietly. The old man was so absorbed in the chess game that he didn't seem to notice anyone approaching at all. The wind blows the leaves, the water whimpers, and the world is peaceful and quiet. The expressions of the old people are also so leisurely. But as soon as Xiao Shishilang approached them, he suddenly felt a fierce and murderous aura, as if approaching two sharp swords out of their scabbards. A magic weapon must have sword energy. Martial arts masters with unique skills regard human life as worthless, and they must have a murderous look on their bodies! Xiao Shishilang faintly felt that these two people must have killed people for nothing in their lives! The old man in Zhu Yi held a chess piece in his hand and was thinking about it.The old man in green robe held his cheek with his left hand, raised his glass with his right hand, and slowly sipped the wine in his glass. Judging by his expression, his chess strength was obviously much higher than that of the old man in red robe. The glass of wine was finished, and the old man in Zhu Yi hadn't made a move yet. The old man in green robe suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Shishilang, handed over the wine glass in his hand, and ordered a strange wine jug on the stone table. No one would fail to understand what this meant. He wanted Xiao Shishilang to pour wine for him. "Why should I pour you wine?" If it was someone else, even if he didn't yell at him, he might just turn around and leave. But Xiao Shishilang remained calm, and actually picked up the flagon. Although the jug has been picked up, the wine has not been poured out. Xiao Shishilang slowly turned the spout to the wine glass. He only needs to tilt the wine jug a little more, and the wine will pour into the glass. But he just didn't move any more. The hand of the old man in green robe also paused in the air, waiting. Xiao Shishilang didn't move, and neither did he. The old man in Zhu Yi was holding a chess piece in his hand, but suddenly he stopped moving. It was as if the three of them were suddenly captured by magic, their lives were taken away by magic, and they turned into dead dolls. The shadows on the ground gradually shortened, and the sun was already in the middle. More than an hour has passed. None of the three moved, not even their fingertips.Everyone's hands are as steady as a rock. The shadow on the ground gradually changed from short to long. The sun is already westward. As long as Xiao Shishilang's hand trembled slightly, the wine would pour out. But three hours passed, and his hand was still as motionless as a rock. The expression of the green-robed old man was originally very serene, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, but now he has gradually changed, becoming a little surprised and a little impatient. Naturally, he didn't know Xiao Shishilang's difficulties. Xiao Shishilang only felt that the jug in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, as if it had become heavier than a thousand catties. His arms turned from soreness to numbness, from numbness to pain, as if being pricked by thousands of needles. His scalp felt like needles, and his clothes were soaked in sweat. But he still gritted his teeth, endured it, and tried his best not to think about it in his mind. Because he knew he must not move now. Although they didn't move at all, they were more dangerous than fighting with the sharpest sword. If the wine in the pot flows out, Xiao Shishilang's blood will probably flow out too. This is a duel of internal strength, concentration, physical strength, and endurance. It was a duel of absolute stillness. So this is also an unprecedented duel. Although this duel was dangerous, it was not intense, and although it was tense, it was not exciting. This duel started in the morning and continued for nearly five hours until dusk, but no one came over to take a look. People who live here only care about themselves. No matter what you are doing, whether you are dead or alive, no one will care about you.
