Chapter 21 Chapter 5 First Contact

one a deep mountain. In the clouds in the mountains, there is a wooden house. Fu Hongxue brought the wind chime back here. Although Fengling didn't hurt her vitals, she was not seriously injured. Fortunately, Fu Hongxue was indeed a master at healing, so on the seventh day in the wooden house, Fengling was able to get out of bed and do anything. Feng Ling was woken up by a very rhythmic sound of chopping wood. When she woke up from a trance dream, she found that the sound of howling wind last night had gradually begun to disappear in the deep mountains, but there were waves of firewood chopping outside the wooden house.

Fengling knew that Fu Hongxue had started chopping firewood again, so she got out of bed, put on a dressing gown and walked out, leaning against the eaves pillar outside the door, watching Fu Hongxue who was concentrating on chopping firewood. He split the wood in a very strange, very efficient, and very graceful manner, and his movements were not quick, and the ax he used was not good enough, but when the wood split under his ax, it was like sparks in a chain of firecrackers. Feng Ling looked at him, as if he was a little crazy. It was only when he stopped to wipe his sweat that he realized she was standing by the door. At this moment, beads of healthy sweat from exercising had already appeared on his face again.

"Did you sleep well here?" Fu Hongxue bent down to arrange the chopped firewood. "What do you say?" Feng Ling smiled, the smile that suddenly bloomed on her pale face was like a plum blossom suddenly blooming in the white clouds. Fu Hongxue turned his head to look at her, and seeing her smile, he suddenly realized why he brought her here inexplicably. Because she is lonely. Although she was smiling, she laughed so lonely and lonely. ——Isn't loneliness always accompanied by Fu Hongxue? ——Then he suddenly finds a woman who has the same loneliness as him, and of course he will "accept her".

——Since the existence of human beings, have many loves not come from "loneliness"? Chen Wu was still lingering in the mountains, and Feng Ling's person was in the fog. She looked at Fu Hongxue who was holding Da Chai and said, "What do you want to eat today?" Fu Hongxue had already started to leave, but after hearing her words, he stopped and looked at her suspiciously. "What do you want to eat today?" Feng Ling said with a smile, "I'll cook for you." "You?" Fu Hongxue said, "Can you cook?" "Don't forget I'm a woman."

"I haven't forgotten." Fu Hongxue said, "It's just that I can't connect you with the kitchen." "Are you afraid that I will poison the food?" She stared at him. "Cook it!" Fu Hongxue turned and walked towards the kitchen. When his back disappeared at the kitchen door, Feng Ling smiled again: "After you have eaten, you will realize how wrong your concept is." two Stir-fried bacon with scallions, fried spicy chicken with scallions, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a pot of steaming clear chicken soup made Fu Hongxue eat four bowls of rice in a row.

Looking at the empty plate with only vegetable stains left, Fu Hongxue's eyes showed admiration. "A friend of mine once said something. At first I didn't quite believe it, but now I realize that he is right." Fu Hongxue said, "He said that whether a woman can keep a man or not depends on how she cooks. Crafted." Feng Ling smiled. "Are you complimenting me?" she said, "or are you taking advantage of me?" Fu Hongxue's face was still so indifferent and lonely, his eyes were still looking at the wind chimes, but a hazy figure appeared in his pupils.

A slender figure that seems to be far away, but also seems to be close in front of the eyes. A figure as long as a morning star, but clearly visible like starlight. Cui Nong. What a familiar yet unfamiliar name. Thinking of her, Fu Hongxue's eyes once again showed a look of pain, the veins on his left hand were bulging again, and the teeth in his tightly closed lips were already pushing tightly together. He reluctantly focused his eyes on Feng Ling's face, and when the veins on his left hand disappeared a little, he said word by word: "I never take advantage of people, regardless of men or women." He said.

Although his voice was very calm, the pain in his eyes grew stronger. He didn't seem to want her to see him, so as soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the kitchen step by step with his unique footwork. Feng Ling's eyes did not follow him, she waited for him to walk out of the door, then slowly stood up, and slowly cleaned up the leftovers on the table. At this time, the sunlight outside the window has driven away the morning fog, and the unknown birds in the mountains have stopped on the trees, chirping non-stop. At this time, Ye Kai outside Lhasa was ready to go to the "Monkey Garden" to explore.

At this time, Ma Kongqun in Wanmatang had discovered that Fu Hongxue was missing. three The pillows were still plump, and there was no sign of sunkenness at all, and the mattress showed no signs of being slept on, not to mention the quilt, which was of course properly folded aside. "When I passed by here in the morning, I found that the door was not closed." Gongsun Duan said to Ma Kongqun, "I yelled outside the door for a long time, but there was no answer, so when I came in, I found that there was no one in the room." Ma Kongqun was deep in thought. "I think Fu Hongxue probably left last night." Gongsun Duan said, "If we send someone to chase him now, we will definitely be able to catch up."

"Chasing." Ma Kongqun said with a cold face, "No one can leave Wanmatang like this." "yes." Gongsun Duan turned and left, leaving Ma Kongqun alone in Fu Hongxue's room. Although the sun in the morning is not warm, the heat has begun to increase. The sunlight shines through the gray paper window and projects on Ma Kongqun's face, clearly delineating the wrinkles on his face. Wrinkles are not shame, but glory. Every wrinkle on his face represents the dangers and hardships he has experienced in his life, and it seems to tell others that no matter what happens, he will never be knocked down.

He didn't even think about making him bend over, but his eyes were peaceful, and there was no compelling edge. ——Is it because the long series of hard years have worn away his sharpness? ——Or because he has already learned to hide his edge? —or had he already died once? Now his eyes were staring at the bed that no one had slept in, and at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. "Are you safe? Boss Ma." As soon as Ma Kongqun turned his head, he saw a person sitting at the door. Sitting in a wheelchair, Xiao Bieli was looking at Ma Kongqun with a strange expression, as if he was a little surprised, but also a little puzzled. "How long has it been since we met?" Ma Kongqun suddenly asked Xiao Bieli, "Ten years?" "Ten years." Xiao Bieli sighed: "The years are like white clouds and dogs, and in the blink of an eye, we have not met for ten years." He stared at Ma Kongqun.After a while, he said again: "Ten years of wind and frost have left no marks on your face. You are still exactly the same as ten years ago, and even your hair hasn't turned white." "People only get old when they feel old in their hearts." Ma Kongqun said. "So you still feel young in your heart?" "Kandong Wanmatang, the reputation of the sky is so high, how many people rely on it to support it, can I feel old?" Ma Kongqun suddenly sighed: "Can I grow old?" "But I seem to remember that the 'Kandong Wanmatang' was destroyed ten years ago." Xiao Bieli stared at him, "Why did it appear again today?" Ma Kongqun's peaceful eyes suddenly shot a sharp light, Staring at Xiao Bieli: "Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you in ten years, why do you believe those rumors?" "Rumors in the world?" Xiao Bieli met the stern light in his eyes. "Only villains can spread rumors." "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said, "Then only villains would listen to rumors?" Xiao Bieli also laughed: "That's too bad, when a gentleman tells a lie, he cheats the dead without paying for his life." "Once in a while, it doesn't hurt too much." Ma Kongqun said with a smile, "Do you think so?" "One cannot be two." Xiao Bieli said, "How can we try this kind of thing a second time?" "Fortunately, I also know that you never like to try it a second time." Ma Kongqun waited until his laughter died down a little, and then continued: "'The end of the world is like a neighbor', I don't think this sentence is enough. Use it on us." "Oh?" Xiao Bieli asked, "How do you say it?" "We live so close, and we are life-and-death friends, you can bear not to see me for ten years, how can you convince me of this sentence?" Ma Kongqun laughed again. Xiao Bieli suddenly raised his head and let out a long sigh. Ma Kongqun didn't understand why he sighed so much at this moment, so he asked, "Why did Brother Xiao sigh so suddenly?" "Ten years have never made you old, but they have made you suffer from amnesia." "Amnesia?" Ma Kongqun looked puzzled. Xiao Bieli suddenly looked down at his legs: "Boss Ma actually forgot that my legs are disabled." He raised his head, stared at Ma Kongqun, and said: "If my legs can walk like flying, I will definitely come to visit Boss Ma." Of course Ma Kongqun understood what he said, so after a slight change in his face, he immediately laughed. "Since brother Xiao already has the intention to blame the crime, how can I know the meaning without hearing the strings? It should be punished, it should be punished." Ma Kongqun said with a smile: "Let me punish myself enough today." "I don't dare to punish you." Xiao Bieli smiled: "I haven't had a good drink in ten years, let's drink enough today!" Four Stepping on the dewdrops from last night, thinking of the conversation with Su Mingming this morning, Ye Kai couldn't help but smile. "It's getting slightly brighter now, we can set off." Su Mingming said to Ye Kai. "Please use odd numbers, not even numbers." Ye Kai said with a smile. "Odd number? Even number?" Su Mingming was at a loss: "What does this mean?" "It's me, not us." Ye Kai said. "Me?" Su Mingming finally understood what he meant: "You want to go alone?" "I don't think so, it's for sure." Ye Kai said: "This is not going to the market, there are so many people." "Because it's dangerous, two people are required to go there, so we can take care of her!" Su Mingming said: "Besides, the goldfish may have gone to the 'Monkey Park' last night, so I have more responsibility to find her." "Then you shouldn't go." "why?" "If people from 'Monkey Garden' threaten you with goldfish, what will you do?" Ye Kai said. "I……" "I'm different." Ye Kai laughed: "My heart is sometimes made of iron. When it should be hard, I will never soften my heart." "But you go alone, what if there is any danger?" Su Mingming looked at him with concern. "There will be no danger." Ye Kai said, "Because I am visiting." "pay a visit to?" "Yes." Ye Kai said: "Instead of climbing over the wall, it's better to enter through the gate grandly." Although the dew had soaked Ye Kai's shoes, he didn't care because he could already see the gate of the "Monkey Garden" from here.sunny. Ye Kai walked to the gate of the "Monkey Garden", only to find that the wall was very high, about five or six people high, and the gate that was locked at first was now open. Looking in from the outside, you can see a nine-curved bridge in the courtyard, and the flowing water under the bridge is shining golden against the sun. There is a small octagonal pavilion outside the end of the bridge, and two people are playing chess in the pavilion. Although the faces of these two people can't be seen clearly from a distance, Ye Kai can be sure that these two people are Zhui Fengsou and Yue Granny from the appearance. Granny Yue supported her forehead with one hand, and held a chess piece with the other hand, she didn't put it down for a long time, as if she was thinking hard about the way of chess. Zhuifengsou looked at her with a smile, with a look of complacency on his face, and also a look of "see how you play this move".Seeing these two people, Ye Kai smiled again. He strode in, walked through the gate, walked up the Jiuqu Bridge, and walked towards the Octagonal Pavilion with a leisurely expression. The wind blows the leaves, the flowing water whimpers, the fragrance of flowers flutters, and the world is peaceful and quiet. Zhui Fengsou and Yue Granny looked so relaxed and content, but as soon as Ye Kai approached them, he suddenly felt a sharp and menacing spirit, as if approaching two sharp swords out of their scabbards . ——A magic weapon must have vigor, and a martial arts master with unique skills, and a person who regards human life as nothing, must also carry this vigor. Granny Yue held a chess piece in her hand and was thinking about it. Zhuifengsou raised his glass with his right hand and slowly sipped the wine in the glass. Judging by his expression, his chess strength was obviously much higher than that of Granny Yue. After the glass of wine was finished, Granny Yue's chess piece hadn't dropped yet, Zhuifengsou suddenly looked up at Ye Kai, passed the wine glass in his hand, and lit a strange jug on the stone table. ——This means that no one will not understand, he wants Ye Kai to pour wine for him. "Why should I pour wine for you?" If it were someone else, even if they didn't yell, they would turn around and leave, but Ye Kai remained calm and actually picked up the jug. Although the jug has been picked up, the wine has not been poured out. Ye Kai slowly turned the spout of the jug to the wine glass, as long as he tilted the jug a little more, the wine would pour into the glass, but he just didn't move. Zhuifengsou's hand also paused in the air, waiting. Ye Kai didn't move, and neither did he. Granny Yue was holding a chess piece in her hand, and she suddenly stopped moving. It was as if the three of them were suddenly captured by some kind of mysterious magic, their lives were taken away by the magic, and they became "dead" people.The heaven and the earth also suddenly froze at this moment, and they all became "dead".
