Frost Habitat and Cold Moon

On a breezy morning, by the pond reflected in the shade of bamboo, Chen Jishuang was lying on a bamboo rocking chair, watching Suzaku Zhou Yuheng feed the fish in the courtyard of Cuihuang Nanzhu.

"Hey, Suzaku." Chen Yushuang bent down, picked up a small stone and threw it at him.

"Huh?" Zhou Yuheng turned back to answer him, and grabbed the stone he threw.

Suzaku changed her attire again.Different from the previous Qingzhu Suyi, in the past few days, he frequently tried various brightly colored clothes.

Today he is wearing a luxurious purple shirt.The dark lines of the creeper embroidered rose pattern are shining brightly in the sun.The outer white gauze smock without gusset slightly covered this layer of light.

The broken crystal hair crown and gemstone girdle of the same color are like the finishing touch, which further highlights his outstanding temperament.

Rich people!

It's so dazzling.Chen Jishuang hastily raised his hand to cover the dazzling light.The momentary loss of consciousness actually made him forget what he wanted to say just now.

After a moment of distraction, Zhou Yuheng walked up to him.

The scent of rosewood mixed with musk, as Zhou Yuheng raised his hand to the stone in front of him, it was blown over by the wind.

"What's the matter?" The voice was as gentle as my own.

With a gentle smile on his face, Zhou Yuheng gently crushed the stone in his hand: "But because I have a straight hair, I got into your eyes again?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Chen Jishuang was sweating profusely.

——Why did he think of this again?

Chen Yushuang hurriedly changed the topic: "Actually, it's because I think that I have eaten too well recently, and my walking voice has become more powerful, so..."

"You think this residence is not good, so you want to change to a new one?" Suzaku took out the abacus and fiddled with it gently, "It is enough for the two of us to live in a courtyard with three entrances. Le'an Town in the western suburbs of the city has A house...buying a land deed, storage fees, moving money...a rough calculation, 5000 taels is enough."

"You might as well go grab it!" Chen Yushuang clicked his tongue. He still owes a whole body of foreign debts, so he has no money to buy a house and move. "Rich man, you want my life!"

——Oh, no, it was my own topic that was diverted.

Chen Yushuang spoke again, with a pleading voice: "I have gained a lot of weight, recently, every time I move, I can hear the fat trembling.

You see, I'm already almost fine, can you let me exercise properly? "

"There's a new batch of shipments from the shipping side recently, and there's also a shortage of manpower. Why don't you make a trip to Qinglong to carry the shipment for three to five days, and exercise your muscles?" Suzaku put away the abacus, and took out the bag that he carried with him. Account book, "Let me record your name first, the ICBC of six or seven dollars a day is just used to offset the account."

"Suzaku, you are going too far! You look at me like this every day, do I still have a little freedom?" Chen Jishuang slapped his chair hard, but when he saw Zhou Yuheng narrowed his eyes and took out his abacus again , sat back obediently.

"I'm afraid of you. I said, can you settle the account?

Suzaku, you have changed!I think back then you were indifferent to the situation, you were such a gentleman as jade.

Look at you now.

Ever since she made the words to keep me, she has become more and more mercenary...but she can't leave me!I'm so sorry for you... I can't be more grateful.

You are entangled in educational affairs and spend a lot of money every day, do your best and let the little ones go! "

The drunken gaffe that day was simply regarded as the worst failure in Zhou Yuheng's rigorous and self-sufficient first half of his life.

After sobering up, Zhou Yuheng was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with fur that had been fried for several days.

This can be regarded as his painful foot, and now it is brought up by Chen Yushuang again.

"Heh." Zhou Yuheng raised one corner of his mouth and chuckled.

Chen Jishuang was covered with goose bumps all over his body.

"You are brave." Zhou Yuheng untied the long whip "Jinghong" from his waist, and there was a crisp "snap". The wind of the whip brought wind marks, and the grass was turned up to its roots. Together with the vegetation, it was blown by the flying dust. , sent to heaven.

"I'll help Qinglong Envoy loosen his bones."

When the servant came to pass the news to the visitors, this was the scene he saw: Qinglong Chen Jishuang was chasing after the long whip, like a frightened rabbit running away in a hurry, galloping all the way.

The long whip is like a lead wire pulling a kite, leading Chen Yushuang, and at the end of the long whip, it flutters up and down like a butterfly piercing a flower or a fallen leaf chasing the wind.

After playing to the fullest, Zhou Yuheng called the servant to come forward to convey the visitor's intention, while he himself washed his face and hands, and handed over the long whip to his subordinates to put away.

"Chen Ranhuai, the protector of the right, is here to visit, and please see the Azure Dragon Envoy by name." The servant bowed and handed over the card.

"Oh. Then please come in and meet me." Zhou Yuheng wiped his hands on a piece of plain white silk cloth, then patted Chen Yushuang's head comfortingly, got up and went back to the room to change clothes.

——Bastard Suzaku, you only picked on my right leg.

Chen Jishuang pressed his right leg with his hand, his face turned pale.

Since his right leg was injured and his internal organs were seriously injured, his body skills are indeed a little worse than before.

However, it would definitely not be teased by Zhou Yuheng with a whip like a mouse.

Zhou Yuheng seldom used force outside, and when encountering internal competitions, most of them just waved his whip lazily, and immediately surrendered.It is recognized as the worst martial arts among the four envoys.

Looking at it now, his martial arts were unexpectedly high.He is one of the few people who has not found out the depth of martial arts in the teaching.

What is he going to do to contact him in recent days, which has reversed his willful performance in the past?

Chen Jishuang pinched his brows with some headaches.

The reception hall of Cuihuang Nanzhu Outer Courtyard.

The protector on the right, Chen Ranhuai, served by the servant, quietly sipped tea, waiting for the arrival of the master.

He was white all over, and his whole body seemed to be drained of spirit, haggard and lifeless.

Holding tightly in his hand is a one-foot-square nanmu box.On top of the box lay a portable sword.

There were six burly men standing behind him, on the left, on the left, one look at his slightly protruding temples, one could tell that he was a well-accomplished internal martial arts master.They guarded Chen Ranhuai in the circle.

Chen Ranhuai seemed to be blind to and deaf to everything around her, and only drank tea to herself.

"The soup is bright in color and has a mellow aftertaste. Good tea." He murmured.

Stretch out your hand to pour the tea soup in front of you along a half-arc shape.

"Your protector likes it, so you might as well take some back." Zhou Yuheng changed into a plain white robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and his hair was partly loose.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the sword in Chen Ran's arms, and he measured it calmly. He walked over without saying anything.

With her head lowered and her hands clenched tightly on her sleeves, Chen Juishuang followed Zhou Yuheng and entered the lobby step by step.

Breathing can be heard in the whole hall, solemn and solemn like a mourning hall.

"No need." Chen Ranhuai replied lightly.He looked at Chen Yushuang indifferently from under his half-drooped eyelids, "I'm here to ask something."

Zhou Yuheng took the main seat.Chen Yushuang avoided Chen Ranhuai's sight, and sat on Zhou Yuheng's left hand side and Chen Ranhuai's oblique side.

"Long time no see, Chen Yushuang. How are you doing recently?" Chen Ranhuai took the bowl of tea that the tea boy re-served, shook off the froth with the tea lid, took a sip, and greeted: " Judging by your ruddy complexion, you must be doing well."

"TOEFL." Chen Jishuang didn't look up at him, but said politely with no expression on his face, then lowered his head again, staring at the "Mieying" dagger resting on his knee.

"Since the last time I saw you come back in blood, I have been worried day and night. Fortunately, you have a good fortune. I brought some supplements, I hope it will be beneficial to your recovery." Chen Ran said lightly by his arms, He gestured to one of the six guards behind him to present him with a gift.

On the side, Zhou Yuheng's attendant had already stepped forward and took the things.

Chen Yushuang had no choice but to raise his head. He subconsciously avoided Chen Ranhuai's direct gaze. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he just followed the etiquette, leaned slightly on the chair, and replied numbly: " Qinglong doesn't dare to be the one, so I have to worry about the right protector."

"The right protector is really too polite. Naturally, I can't afford Qinglong's food and clothing here. I first thank the right protector for Xiaoshuang's concern." Suzaku unfolded the paper fan, slapped it casually, and said a few polite words with a smile , turned the subject, and brought the topic back: "What is the right protector asking? Why don't you just say what you want."

Chen Ranhuai shifted his gaze from Chen Bashuang to Zhou Yuheng, and paused for a moment, showing some doubts on his face.

However, he didn't look at it for too long, and put his eyes back on the wooden box in his arms, curled up his fingers and picked the wooden box, and then spoke with difficulty:

"My senior brother...Li Mingshi, did he leave any words before he left?"

"I..." Chen Jishuang's face was blank.

In fact, he can recall every detail exactly: how he bypassed layers of guards and found his way into Li Mingshi's solitary residence in the back mountain, how he hid himself on the beam of the house, and waited until the gentle young man opened the door, Walk in, and kill with a clean knife.

But he never understood the meaning of Li Mingshi's last action.

Li Mingshi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes were full of understanding.

He didn't struggle, but with the last bit of strength, he gently pushed Chen Yushuang outwards towards the door.

—He wants to...let me go?

Did he die voluntarily, or did he anticipate such a day?

why? !

However, these words, I have no way to say to anyone.

Not even now.

Chen Jishuang opened his mouth, facing Chen Ranhuai's expectant eyes, murmured for a long time, finally closed his eyes, and replied cruelly: "My condolences."

"Really." The sharp corners of the box made Chen Ranhuai's hand red, but he pressed the box harder into his arms as if he didn't feel any pain: "It seems that he walks very fast."

In fact, when he saw Chen Yushuang's blank expression, Chen Ranhuai knew the answer in his heart, but he still couldn't help it, and asked again like a masochist: "The incision is very neat, he didn't suffer much, right?" ?”

"The right protector, please take care of yourself." Zhou Yuheng interrupted him, got up and stood beside Chen Yushuang, and put his hand on Chen Yushuang's shoulder.

"Yeah! Take care of your body and just survive." Chen Ranhuai smiled self-deprecatingly, let go of the wooden box in his arms, moved his hand to the sword body on the wooden box, and carefully traced the pattern on the scabbard with his hands. pattern.The pattern is the word "Mo Li" carved in ancient script: "I only know you in the sect. Chen Yushuang, can you bother me to send my senior brother's...and the matching sword back to the former residence of Qingcheng Mountain? "

"I'm sorry, I..." Qinglong Chen Yushuang was about to refuse.

But I heard Chen Ranhuai quietly added: "I discussed it with the leader. He agreed."

——Then this is not a request, but an order.

Chen Yushuang smiled wryly in his heart, but as usual, he was about to stand up and take orders.But before he could stand up, Zhou Yuheng pressed him down forcefully.

Zhou Yuheng put away his folding fan and walked up to Chen Ranhuai.His usual gentle face became extraordinarily serious and serious: "It's best not to make fun of the edicts casually. I haven't received any orders from the leader here."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "command".Then he returned to the gentle and normal state of "smiling three-pointed at people" in the past, opened the folding fan and waved it, and continued slowly: "Is there anyone in the teaching who doesn't know the right protector? I'm afraid the right protector will climb up and shout, and some of them will People, one after another, are willing to go through fire and water for the right protector.

What's more, is this kind of good thing that is conducive to the exchanges between the two factions?

I'm not talented, I would like to write a letter for the right protector, and personally send it to Qingcheng to express my condolences, hoping for the right protector's approval. "

"Zhou Yuheng! You!" Chen Ranhuai finally shattered the mask of calm on his face.

For a moment, emotions such as resentment, unwillingness, grievance, and resentment exploded on his face.

He was so angry that he trembled all over, he gritted his teeth until there was a "gritter", drew his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed Zhou Yuheng in the chest.

Zhou Yuheng restrained his smile and looked at him with some sadness.Just stand where you are, neither hiding nor evading.

Chen Jishuang was the first to grab "Mie Ying" and stand in front of Zhou Yuheng.

However, before he could make a move, he stretched out a hand from the side, and lightly clamped the blade, without seeing how much force he took, he took the sword and put it back into the sheath.

"Self-fighting among the same sect is prohibited in the church, please respect yourself as the right protector."

The six guards bowed in unison to salute.Although it is exhortation, the gesture cannot be refused.

"Okay, Suzaku. It seems that you are determined to protect him?" Chen Ranhuai gritted his teeth and glared at Zhou Yuheng.

"For Ling Ci's sake, protect the law and take care of your body. ——We all have people who need protection, so why not give each other some retreat."

Chen Ranhuai's face suddenly changed.He held the sword back in his hand several times, until the pattern was deeply imprinted on his palm... In the end, he still let go weakly.

"You won." Chen Ranhuai hugged the sword and the box tightly in his arms again, got up and walked out: "The Vermilion Bird envoy has worked so hard, be careful what you know is not human, and you will be sad if you end up fetching water from a bamboo basket."

Zhou Yuheng looked in the direction where Chen Yushuang was, and saw that Chen Jushuang was still guarding himself in front of him, smiled slightly, and replied: "I am willing, and I am willing to do so."

The pace of Chen Ranhuai's progress obviously stagnated.He turned around and finally met Chen Jushuang's eyes for the first time.

Chen Yushuang turned his head away unnaturally, but his defensive posture did not relax at all.

However, Chen Ranhuai suddenly forced a smile: "Chen Jishuang, you have to take care of yourself."

After speaking, he turned around again and looked up at the high hollow window lattice in the living room, where there was a finely carved picture of the summer moon and lotus pond.

There is water and there is moon.

The moon shadow swayed and the water rippled.

He looked carefully.Suddenly, without even saying hello, he left quickly.

Following him came out the six big men surrounding him.
