Mirror toss

Seeing Ximen Chuuxue with a calm face, Lu Xiaofeng got his own answer without asking any more questions, but, "The reason? Why can't I remember anything, obviously that night..."

Swallowing the following words in time, Lu Xiaofeng was dripping with cold sweat from Ximen Chuixue's stare, well, he was quick to talk, how can he talk about the things in the room like this?What's more, the protagonist is Ximen Fuxue.

Looking at Lu Xiaofeng coldly, Ximen Chuuxue said, "The properties of the medicine affect each other."

Ximen Chuuxue's explanation was too simple, but both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou understood it. Although they are not good at medicine, they still know some common sense.Many medicines produce and restrain each other, and different combinations can produce different effects.But now, Qiao Chennan's body conditioning medicine and some of the aphrodisiac medicine in the water have come together to form a new medicine, making Qiao Chennan not remember what happened that night at all, not amnesia, because it was never a memory.

"Wait a minute, so you already knew this result?!" He should have known about this situation when Xiao Nan slept for too long or Ximen Chuuxue might check Xiao Nan's physical condition after the cloud and rain.That's still so calm?Could it be that he misread everything and Ximen Chuuxue didn't care at all?

"Remember it or not, it's no different from me." After saying this, Ximen Chuuxue pushed the door into the room with the medicine in hand, and closed the door in front of the two of them, refusing to enter was very obvious.

The sun was shining brightly, and the corridor was half shaded, with faint golden spots jumping in the half of the shadows, quiet and joyful.In the courtyard, the green bamboos are dripping with green color, and the branches and leaves are quietly stretching alone in the sunshine.The wind blew up and burned my body a bit.

"Hua Man Lou, actually, it's not that difficult to accept a male Mrs. Ximen, right?" Lu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes and smiled relieved with the sun shining on his face.

"Yes." Hearing that Lu Xiaofeng finally stopped being entangled, Hua Manlou's smile deepened, "Especially when Mrs. Ximen is still our friend."

"Haha, you're right, this is a great event worth celebrating. Let's go, Huamanlou, let's go drink!" After speaking, Lu Xiaofeng took the lead to walk out of the courtyard, Huamanlou shook his head lightly, helplessly following.

The two came to the hall, found an empty table in the corner and sat down, Lu Xiaofeng called Xiao Er to order food, and when it was finished, they also ordered two jars of the best old Huadiao wine in the shop, and they would never go home if they were not drunk means.Not long after, the food and wine came up one after another, and when the last dish was served, the waiter in the shop delivered it.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the last dish, and stopped the waiter who had already turned around and was about to leave, "Hey, waiter, did you send this dish to the wrong table?"

The shop waiter turned around, took a careful look at the dishes, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng with doubts, "That's right, guest officer."

"Wrong." Lu Xiaofeng tapped the plate with chopsticks, pointing out the truth, "I ordered Drunken Chicken with Osmanthus, and this is Duck with Osmanthus."

"It's from the same root, so why bother?" The shop waiter who had been lowering his head suddenly raised his head, the look in his eyes was different from the humbleness just now, with a deep smile, "Since we are the same kind, the guest So what if the officer spares the life of that poor chicken?"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Xiao Er suddenly, his eyes glowed with a special brilliance, it was the joy when he saw a friend, "Sikong Zhaixing!"

Sikong Zhaixing didn't try to deny it. In fact, he came to find Lu Xiaofeng. After Lu Xiaofeng called his name, he jumped over the stool and sat down. He took out an empty bowl and put it on the table. Poured a bowl full and began to eat and drink.

"The rivers and lakes are not peaceful recently." While eating, Sikong Zaixing suddenly sighed.

Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lips and smiled, took a few sips of Huadiao directly from the jar, "It's really not calm."

"I do not like."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "So you hid."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded and admitted simply, "That's right."

"You're a thief, and hiding is what you're good at."

Sikong Zhaixing sighed, the expression on his face was like that of a parent who is worried about the poor growth of his child, "So it is."

"Originally?" Lu Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, "What about now?"

"Now?" Sikong Zhaixing sighed again, his expression turned sad, but he couldn't find traces of his true sadness on his face, "Now I'm not sure."

The hand holding the wine jar paused, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Sikong Zhaoxing, and said firmly, "You have been found."

Nodding his head again, Sikong Zhaixing quickly put the food into his mouth, while continuing to put on a sad expression, "That's right."

"Who could find you?" Lu Xiaofeng expressed surprise at this.

"A group of men all dressed in black." Sikong Zhaixing sighed and became even more sad, but he didn't hear the movement of picking vegetables in his hand for a moment.

The light in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes moved slightly, and he became lazy again in an instant, "Are you sad to be found by someone? Or is it a man who found you sadly?"

"All."

"So, you need me to comfort you?"

Sikong Zhaixing finally stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Lu Xiaofeng quietly, feeling even more sad, "Lu Xiaofeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect your brain problem to be more serious."

After eating the food indifferently, Lu Xiaofeng said lazily, "I can't help it, I want to cure myrrh."

"Then how about I give you a medicine?"

"What kind of medicine?"

Sikong Zhaixing glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, poured some wine from the bowl on the table, and wrote three words with his finger. ——Qiao Chennan.

These three words made Lu Xiaofeng's breath stagnate, and also made Hua Manlou, who had been drinking and pouring herself, stop laughing and become serious, "What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Xiaofeng scratched out the words on the table, and said in a low voice, "Look elsewhere, there are too many people talking here."

The three of them did not go to the back yard but went out to find other places. After all, it was not good for Qiao Chennan to be nervous before the matter was clarified, and it was not good for Qiao Chennan or for them.

"Lu Xiaofeng." Sikong Zaixing looked at the bustard who was walking out with her waist twisted and her hips swaying, and sighed, "In this respect, you always make me envious."

Going to brothels at night is not a problem, as long as you have money.But the daytime is another matter, everyone knows that Qinglou doesn't pick up customers during the daytime, let alone welcome guests who don't need a woman happily, but Lu Xiaofeng did it, and even made the old bustard's heart happy Make sure you don't get disturbed.

"Many people are as envious as you are." Lu Xiaofeng sat leaning against the window without a shape, "Do you know Qiao Chennan?"

The dishes on the table are not inferior to those in restaurants, Sikong Zaixing took a few peanuts before he spoke, "If it was just your friend Lu Xiaofeng, then I wouldn't know, but he is someone close to Ximen Chuuxue, how could I not know ?”

"Is it related to Xiao Nan?" Hua Manlou frowned slightly, with a serious face on his face.

Sikong Zhaixing looked at Huamanlou, and suddenly sighed, "Not only is it related, but it is also related. A few days ago, those men in black used some method to find me and offered to make a deal with me." .”

The worry on Hua Manlou's face became more serious, "What deal?"

"Let me steal someone."

Sikong Zhaixing's words caused the whole room to fall into silence, and after a long time, Lu Xiaofeng calmly said the truth that all three of them knew, "They asked you to steal Qiao Chennan."

"Yes."

"You didn't answer." If he answered, he would not reveal the customer's information. This is Sikong Zhaixing's professional ethics.

"No, I'll take it." Sikong Zhaixing gave an unexpected answer, "I want to see what kind of person Ximen Chuuxue attaches so much importance to, and whether he has supernatural powers like three heads and six arms."

"You said you wouldn't reveal information about your employer."

"There is an exception to everything."

"Then what's the exception this time?"

"The employer is dead, and the dead person cannot continue to be my employer."

"Dead? Who killed it?"

"Another group of men in dark clothes."

"Are they here to kill or find someone?"

"I thought it was murder."

"But then you find out you were wrong."

"Yes, I was wrong, they are also here to find someone."

"And I'm looking for you too."

"Correct."

"They also want you to steal someone."

"Yes."

"It's also Qiao Chennan."

"Yes."

"You didn't agree."

"You guessed it right this time, I refused."

"But they attach great importance to Qiao Chennan, and it is impossible to give up simply."

"So, they wanted to grab me and force me to submit."

"But they forgot that you are Sikong Zhaixing."

"Yes, they forgot that I am Sikong Zhaixing." Who is Sikong Zhaixing?To be a thief, and for a thief, escape is always the best.

"You escaped."

"Right and wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I ran away but caught up with them after they thought I had run away."

"what have you found?"

"Why do you think I'm bound to find something?"

"You wouldn't be here if you didn't find something."

"This time I admit that you are right, I discovered something."

"what's up?"

"I found that they mentioned a location many times in their words."

"where?"

"The land of Bashu."

45. Lu Xiaofeng Roll

"The land of Bashu?" Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, and unconsciously stroked his beard with his fingers. He always liked to stroke his beard when he was thinking about things, "Did you continue to follow?"

"No, I have never stopped tracking." He, Sikong Zhaixing, is not a hero, he is just a thief, he likes to care about everything, so it is natural to know what made him suffer before he can plan.

"Then you lost it?"

"Lu Xiaofeng." Sikong Zaixing looked at Lu Xiaofeng, with a half-smile on his face, "You are insulting me." A thief, whose tracking skills are basic, if he lost track of him halfway, then he is Sikong Zaixing Xing just packed up and went back to his hometown to go back to hermitage, what else is there to do?

Lu Xiaofeng didn't apologize, not even a trace of apology could be found on his face, he still smiled foolishly, "But you are indeed lost."

Unexpectedly, Sikong Zhaixing was not angry, but nodded in agreement with Lu Xiaofeng's words, very straightforward, "You're right, I'm lost."

"Why did you get lost?" This sentence did not imply any accusation, but simply expressed his own doubts. Just as Sikong Zhaixing thought, Lu Xiaofeng also had confidence in Sikong Zhaixing's tracking technology, but In this way, Sikong Zaixing actually lost track, enough to get a glimpse of the opponent's ability.

Sikong Zhaixing began to recall that time, "I followed them all the way, and I followed them into a mountain in Bashu. The whole mountain was full of trees, towering trees, the branches were entangled with each other, and the sky could not be seen, so it was easy to get inside Got lost. But I followed them until they entered a cave."

"The cave?"

"Yes, there are many caves there, they look almost exactly the same, they entered one of them, but when I entered, they disappeared."

"Disappear? How can people disappear for no reason?"

"Yes, people don't disappear for no reason, let alone a group of people. But they just disappeared, from the time they entered the cave to the time I entered the cave, they disappeared completely."

"There is no other exit?"

"There is no other exit."

"There is no secret channel?"

"At least I can't find it."

"That means it's still possible?"

"Indeed, but you can't find it either."

"But there is one person who will definitely be able to find it."

Sikong Zhaixing didn't ask who it was, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't say who it was, because there was no need, and everyone present knew who that person was.After falling silent, he quietly drank some wine before Sikong Zaixing spoke again.

"After leaving the cave, I went down the mountain to find the local people and asked some questions. I learned that the forest on the mountain existed a long time ago. Their ancestors, grandparents' grandparents... It seems that the forest has been with the mountain from the very beginning. Appeared, and has not disappeared due to any accident for countless times. I also learned that that forest has a name that has been handed down since ancient times—Shensilin, a very beautiful name, right?"

After taking a sip of wine, Lu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement and said, "The woods that even gods will miss are really beautiful."

"But compared to this name, the locals are more willing to call it another name-the forest of the dead."

Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were stunned. Compared with the previous name with a beautiful meaning, this name was so straightforward that it showed their disgust and fear of the forest.

"They call it this name, because the forest can eat people. Many villagers go in to chop firewood and never come out. Some lucky villagers come out intact, but they have to bear the fear of his companion disappearing in front of their eyes. They said that they were talking and talking a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, the people around them disappeared. At first, no one believed it, but gradually, more and more people disappeared, and they had to believe this. The seemingly absurd fact, even, they have seen bones, and now, no one dares to enter that forest."

Sikong Zhaixing's words elicited a silence in the room. Lu Xiaofeng drank the wine in silence, but his eyes couldn't hide his deep thought. He finally found a clue about the group of people, but he became more and more confused when he looked at the flowers in the fog. Who is it?What does the phenomenon of cannibalism in the forest have to do with them?Why are they looking for Qiao Chennan?And why did you want to kill Qiao Chennan?In this series of things, why is Qiao Chennan so important?

"I've heard of this forest." Hua Manlou, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, causing Sikong Zhaoxing and Lu Xiaofeng to look curiously, "I've heard elder brother mention this place before. That was seven or eight years ago , the eldest brother was passing through Bashu, because the goods were light and the time was short, so he decided to abandon the main road and pass through the mountain when he passed a mountain. It was night, and the caravan rested in the woods. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, a few people were missing. At first, I thought it was a solution to the emergency. After waiting for a long time, I realized that something was wrong and started searching in a team of two. When the agreed gathering time, more people disappeared. Amidst everyone's doubts, some people came back one after another, and brought news that their companions disappeared out of thin air."

"Originally they suspected that it was an excuse made by internal fighting, but within half a day when they decided to set off and walk, everyone witnessed that half of the personnel disappeared before their eyes. They were still there one moment, and the place where they stood the next moment was gone. Empty. No bloodstains, no corpses, just disappeared, life and death are unknown. Later, the eldest brother took people to search and rescue, and even tied ropes to each other, but some people were still missing. Since then, the eldest brother has never returned to that place, He said that that forest is the weirdest place he has ever seen, and he warned us that if we pass by occasionally in the future, we would rather not go in."

Hua Manlou's words made Lu Xiaofeng even more silent. Although the big brother of the Hua family values ​​business and despise martial arts, his courage is admirable. Even he said the warning that he would rather not go in, which is enough to show how weird the forest is. up.However, no matter how weird it is, it is impossible for Lu Xiaofeng to give up this clue. Both Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng understand this matter.Hua Manlou would say it because he had heard it before.

The weather in July and August is always unbearable, especially for Qiao Chennan, who is used to living with air-conditioning, the sun makes him dizzy, and he can't wait to soak himself in cold water all the time To escape the summer heat, but the reality does not allow, so he can only lie on the stone table of the gazebo to enjoy the cool air, even though the wind blows up, it can be hot, especially when he is wearing long clothes and long sleeves, wrapped tightly so that there is no wind, It made him even hotter.

In the quiet yard, only some insects chirped more hotly. Two figures appeared in Qiao Chennan's drowsy sight. Lie down on the cool table, very lazy and lethargic.

Seeing Qiao Chennan's series of reactions in his eyes, Lu Xiaofeng was dissatisfied, "Qiao Chennan, I don't think I'm ugly enough to give in. Why do you dislike him so much?" When he saw him, he shrank like a withered flower. What's the meaning? !

"You're not so ugly that ghosts and snakes give in." Qiao Chennan, who was lying on her stomach, murmured feebly, "But when I see you, I feel even hotter."

"Who do you see who doesn't think it's hot in this weather?" How could it be his fault that it's hot?Obviously it's the weather's fault, okay? !

Turning his head lazily to look at Lu Xiaofeng, his tone remained unchanged but he still expressed the word resolutely, "Master."

"?" Lu Xiaofeng raised a question mark in both eyes.

Sighing all the contempt in one breath, Qiao Chennan looked at Lu Xiaofeng with hopeless regret, "Lu Xiaoji, Lu Xiaoji, calling you a little chicken definitely didn't belittle you, how could you be a phoenix with your brain? ?”

Firmly pressing the tic-tac-toe on his forehead, Lu Xiaofeng felt that it wasn't just that Qiao Chennan felt hot when he saw him, he felt even hotter when he saw Qiao Chennan, his temperature rose from inside to outside, and his heart beat faster, making him angry.

"Pfft——, Lu Xiaoji, I didn't expect there to be people with discerning eyes who can see through your essence at a glance."

The ruthless teasing made Qiao Chennan turn his eyes away, and saw a thin and thin man standing beside Lu Xiaofeng, dressed as a mistress, but his eyes were full of cunning, dark and seductive.

Seeing Qiao Chennan's scrutinizing gaze, the man jumped across the edge of the gazebo into the gazebo, circled around Qiao Chennan a few times, and finally stopped in front of Qiao Chennan, "Sikong Zhaixing."

Qiao Chennan also got up from the table and stood still. He was not surprised to hear Sikong Zhaixing's self-report, but he felt a sigh of finally seeing him. After all, this is also an important person. "Qiao Chennan."

"You are a thief."

"Everyone knows it."

"I heard you have nothing you can't steal."

"Removing the word "heard" is the truth."

"is it?"

"really."

"Then have you ever stolen Lu Xiaofeng's treasure?"

"baby?"

The eight teeth of Qiao Chennan's smile glistened in the sunlight, and his narrowed eyes stared straight at the mustache that Lu Xiaofeng was stroking. Just laughing and laughing made Lu Xiaofeng's hands tremble, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

This Qiao Chennan likes to tease him, and Sikong Zhaixing likes to watch him suffer. The two of them are just like each other. Will getting together be the beginning of his disaster?At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng felt deep remorse, he really shouldn't have let these two meet.

Sikong Zhaixing patted Qiao Chennan on the shoulder, "I really like you."

"I like you a lot too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the combination of the two whose ultimate goal was to make Lu Xiaofeng feel deflated successfully met at this moment.Under the sun, Lu Xiaofeng with a stiff smile felt that he should actually follow Huamanlou to Hua's house to find Brother Hua's detailed information about the forest.
