Linluo sunset

After tossing for a while, Xu Siting finally lit the fire, waved to Zhou Mu, and said, "Come here and dry your clothes."

Zhou Mu had an angry expression on his face. He sat down by the fire and took off his clothes. Words such as "little man", "despicable" and "broken" popped out of his mouth indirectly. The voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to fall. To Xu Siting's ears.

Xu Siting loosened and clenched his fists several times before suppressing the anger in his heart, and sat aside far away, ignoring him.Originally, when the two first set off from the capital, I still had the mentality of getting along peacefully, so I tolerated his habitual pranks along the way, but this time he was too willful!

Zhou Mu took off his dripping clothes, and sat by the fire with his bare arms cursing. Although it wasn't cold in the suburbs in summer, it was still a bit chilly, so he felt even more aggrieved—there was something wrong with this person, how could he just get angry? Throw yourself in the river!Sneezing while scolding, suddenly saw Xu Siting walking towards him again.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Mu stared at him.

Xu Siting took off his coat expressionlessly and gave it to him.

Zhou Mu was not polite, took it and wrapped it around his body and continued to stare at Xu Siting.

Xu Siting sighed: "In the future, you are not allowed to go to that kind of place again."

"What's bothering you, sir, going to the brothel?" Zhou Mu was furious, and he finally saw the old bustard, but before he could say anything, Xu Siting rushed in with a dark face, carried himself and walked out , and threw himself into the moat, saying it was to wake himself up.

Xu Siting was at a loss for words, and didn't know how to refute. He only knew that when he heard that he had gone to Chu Garden during the day, his lungs would explode.

Zhou Mu didn't bother to explain to him, but sneezed one after another. Xu Siting was getting more and more annoyed when he heard it. It was wrong for him to throw him into the river, but he had let him scold him for so long in silence. Refuse to go back to the inn.

Reaching out to touch Zhou Mu's clothes, it was still damp, so he waved to Zhou Mu: "Come here!"

"Why?" Zhou Mu looked wary.

Xu Siting did not speak, but glanced at the river not far away.

Zhou Mu was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall, why did he provoke such an inexplicable person, who treated him very well when he first came out of Shengjing, who knew that he would turn his face when he said it!Although he was unwilling in his heart, he finally stood up and sat next to Xu Siting, with an awe-inspiring look on his face, thinking that he would kick him twice at the worst, and return it back ten times when he has practiced kung fu well! !

To Zhou Mu's surprise, Xu Siting neither scolded him nor beat him this time, but stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.

Zhou Mu was stunned at first, then surprised, and finally flew into a rage: "What are you doing with the surname Xu!"

"Either follow me back to the inn, or be hugged by me." Xu Siting's voice was calm: "I came out this time by order, if you catch a cold, I don't have time to spend time with you."

Zhou Mu broke away from his arms, took the half-dry and half-wet clothes and put them on his body, and threw Xu Siting's outer robe to him.

Xu Siting looked at his back, and felt a little throbbing in his heart for no reason. Zhou Mu's shoulders were thin and his skin was fair, and the way he wrapped himself in a black robe just now was unbelievably alluring.

Although Zhou Mu finally went back to the inn, he took a hot bath, took a big quilt and wrapped him up, but he still caught a cold. The next morning Xu Siting waited downstairs for a long time but did not see him coming downstairs, so he went to push him. When he opened the door, he was sitting on the bed coughing.

Seeing Xu Siting entered the room, Zhou Mu rolled his eyes weakly and fell on the bed, thinking that I would delay your trip, it's better for the two of you to go our separate ways!

Xu Siting sighed and went downstairs to find a doctor for him.

Even though the doctor said it was a cold, Zhou Mu hadn't recovered after lying on the bed for five days. He was listless and didn't eat.

Xu Siting was very anxious, he felt that a small place was a small place, how could he not even look down on the wind and cold, even though he routinely went out every day to inquire about Wuhuan Palace and Dragon Veins, but he was always absent-minded, so he simply ran back after inquiring about half of it that day , thinking to quickly take Zhou Mu to a big place to see a doctor, and if this drags on, he won't get sick.

As soon as he got to the second floor of the inn, he saw Xiao Er leaving Zhou Mu's room with a lot of eaten dishes.

"Is he willing to eat?" Xu Siting was overjoyed, he pulled Xiao Er and asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Er nodded honestly: "This young master eats at this time every day."

"Every day?" Xu Siting gritted his teeth, pushed the door open and walked in, and saw Zhou Mu sitting at the table with his legs crossed, picking his teeth. He still looked weak in the morning.

"Uh..." Zhou Mu was taken aback, and a pained expression instantly appeared on his face.

"Stop pretending!" Xu Siting's face was quite ugly, and his tone became a bit more aggressive: "I'll just throw you into the river! You have the right to torment me like this! You are not childish!"

Zhou Mu was stunned by his yelling, and when he realized it, he was also angry: "Master, please stay! I only met you when I was unlucky!"

Xu Siting's heart twitched when he heard the words, he turned around and slammed the door and went out, went back to the house, took his luggage and rode his horse all the way south, never wanting to see that heartless little liar again.

Zhou Mu wrinkled his nose, and lay on the bed hugging the quilt, feeling confused. He finally left, should he celebrate by setting off a cannonball?

After rolling around on the bed for a long time, Zhou Mu sat up with a gloomy face, wondering if he was scared by Xu Siting, why did he think of him as soon as he closed his eyes, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go out and find a place to have a good drink as compensation Thinking about the oppression I have suffered these days, when I passed by the door of Xu Siting's room, I didn't know that there was no one in it, but I looked in by accident, and saw that Xiao Er was packing things.

"Hey, what is this?" Xiao Er took out something from the cabinet and looked at it: "Oh, the guest officer lost something."

"What?" Zhou Mu heard that when he entered the door, he saw that it was an ordinary gold hairpin, and he felt annoyed: "Cut, I don't know if I hooked up with a young lady to get it."

"Are the two of you going together?" The second boy said, "Please bring it to the guest officer." "Zhou Mu thought for a while and nodded in agreement, put the golden hairpin in his arms and went downstairs leisurely.

Not long after Zhou Mu had left, Xu Siting rushed back in a hurry, and Xiao Er was overjoyed when he saw him: "You came back to look for that gold hairpin, right?"

"You picked it up?" Xu Siting heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiaoer nodded: "Well, I didn't expect you to come back, so I left it to the young master who was traveling with you."

"Zhou Mu?" Xu Siting was shocked when he heard the words, "What about others?"

"Going out, I think it's going to the east." Xiaoer enthusiastically pointed to Xu Siting.

After thanking him, Xu Siting hesitated for a while, but still looked eastward.

There were not many but not many people on the street, but Xu Siting still saw Zhou Mu at a glance - squatting at the side entrance of Chu Garden like a little monkey.

"Bring something." Xu Siting walked up to him and stretched out his hand in a cold voice.

Zhou Mu was taken aback at first, and then saw that it was Xu Siting, so he began to habitually sing the opposite tune, rolling his eyes: "No!"

Xu Siting found that ever since he met Zhou Mu, he wanted to beat people up.

"Why are you staring at me!" Zhou Mu felt guilty and emboldened himself: "Didn't you still extort 500 taels of gold from me! This is a debt repayment with the golden hairpin!"

"That golden hairpin was given to me by my sister." Xu Siting tried his best to calm down his voice.

"My brother gave me my gold!" Zhou Mu disdainfully.

"My sister asked me to give my golden hairpin to my sweetheart." Xu Siting squatted in front of Zhou Mu and looked at him.

Zhou Mu felt terrified when he was looked at, so he pushed Xu Siting: "Look behind you." "What kind of tricks do you want to play again!" Xu Siting gritted his teeth: "If you don't return it to me, I will be impolite!" "When did you treat me?" Too polite." Zhou Mu pushed him impatiently: "Do you want to see it or not?"

Xu Siting turned his head and saw a red blood lotus painted on the wall behind him.

"What is this?" Xu Siting was puzzled.

Zhou Mu didn't speak, and dragged Xu Siting to a private room in a restaurant, and then said: "I guess it's Wuhuan Palace's way of contacting the congregation, Chu Wutian should come here."

"How do you know?" Xu Siting frowned.

"My brother told me about this blood lotus before." Zhou Mu poured tea for himself: "When Chu Wutian's father, Chu Huan, was the leader of the martial arts alliance, he secretly raised a group of dead soldiers Working hard for themselves, they rely on this blood lotus as a communication signal."

"Your brother is really related to Chu Huan?" Xu Siting's eyes darkened.

Zhou Mu sighed, walked to the window and pointed to Chu Huayuan to show Xu Siting: "My brother told me before that there used to be a very beautiful girl named Murong Zui in that building."

"And then you came to see?!" Xu Siting clenched his fists tightly: "Don't change the subject!"

"My brother had a relationship with her ten years ago, but then the girl disappeared, and my brother made many inquiries, but there was no news." Zhou Mu flattened his mouth: "I thought that since I passed by, I might as well go in and ask, who is it?" Knowing that I was interrupted by you inexplicably."

"Aren't you going to drink flower wine?" Xu Siting was overjoyed for no reason when he heard the words, but he still didn't forget his duty, and asked, "What does this have to do with the blood lotus?"

"Three years ago, my brother inadvertently found out that Murong Zui was actually one of Chu Huan's dead men. However, Chu Huan was already dead at that time, and there was no place to ask. My brother sent someone to look for it for a long time. Only then did I find some information about the group of dead men, including the use of blood lotus as a contact code, which was also known at that time." Zhou Mu frowned: "That's why I wondered if Chu Wutian took over the group of dead men. Gentleman, there will be some disturbance in Jiangnan in the near future."

"If I don't find it, what are you going to do alone?" Xu Siting asked suddenly.

"What should I do?" Zhou Mubai glanced at him and said, "I'm here to find my brother, not to help you investigate the case. Who told you to keep bullying me!"

Xu Siting was angry, thinking that I came all the way to investigate this because I wanted to clear your Zhou family's innocence!

"I asked the bustard in Chu Huayuan just now, but I still don't have any clues." Zhou Mu pushed Xu Siting: "I only know so much."

"Let's go back first." Xu Siting thought for a while, and said: "After going back, we will discuss countermeasures. I suspect that there are so many rumors about Longmai and your Zhou family in the world recently. They are all made by Chu Wutian. Even if we don't go Find him, and he will also find your brother."

"Aren't you leaving?" Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Xu Siting walked down with a "hum", and said: "I'm here to investigate the case, not to fight with you."

Zhou Mu sniffled, and went downstairs with him. For some reason, he felt that he was not so bored anymore. The summer night in the south of the Yangtze River... Well, it's quite cool~~
