The bright moon sits on the ground

Nie Chi would occasionally ask the boy to deliver things.

Outsiders cannot enter the Shenyun Pavilion at will, so they usually stand outside the valley and wait.

There are some books, food, and silver in the bulging bag, and sometimes other things.

The boy will buy a hot roast duck in a nearby restaurant in advance, pack it and bring it here. It is said that the manager is afraid that he will not be able to keep up with his nutrition when he grows up, so he specially ordered it.

Nie Qiu told the boy last time that he doesn't want to eat meat recently.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, Nie Qiu didn't say the reason, and Nie Chi didn't ask, either, but this time the boy followed his instructions and didn't go to buy roast duck, but just bought some portable desserts for him. he.

Nie Qiu stood in front of the valley and took the bag from the servant, chatted for a while, and sent them away.

He weighed the heavy bag in his hand, and with his head down all the way, he skillfully walked through the bamboo forest and into the valley.

Actually, Nie Qiu doesn't miss the Nie family at all like he told Chang Deng.

He really didn't think much about it, and he only thought about it occasionally when other people mentioned his family.

But the feeling of nostalgia is strongest when Nie Chi asks his servant to deliver things.Nie Qiu told them how he had been living recently, what new moves he learned, and won the top spot in the competition. After the precipitation settled down, the valley was quiet, only he was chattering in the sky and the earth, while the rest of the people looked at him seriously, listening to the trivial or interesting trifles in his mouth.

What others said was right, and Nie Qiu knew it well, since he came back from exterminating bandits, his whole body was like a bow stretched tight.

While talking with the boys, he suddenly felt his eyes sore, and the choked sobs in his throat were suppressed, and he really wanted to cry, or he was wronged to seek comfort.

But Nie Qiu didn't do that, he didn't say it, he didn't write a letter to Nie Chi, he just swallowed it silently.

The Nie family is the Nie family after all.

Although his memory is blurred, and Nie Chi's occasional concern will give him illusions, Nie Qiu understands that it is the strict family rules of the Nie family that have nailed him to the bone, and the hexagrams that shocked the world urged him to bear the burden of his age. Things that should not be undertaken.

So he just sighed lightly, and stopped talking there, not to mention the rest.

Time will dilute everything.

When Nie Qiu returned to Shenyun Pavilion, Wen Wu was practicing sword not far away. Seeing him coming, he put down the sword in his hand, wiped the bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead, and asked unsteadily: " How did you come back so quickly this time?"

"There's nothing to say."

Nie Qiu raised his hand and shook the bag in his hand, "Want to eat?"

He has always disliked sweets, and Nie Chi never noticed it. Every time, he asked people to buy them according to what children usually like to eat. Nie Qiu was also reluctant to open his mouth. .

Fortunately, Wen Yunshui himself and his apprentices basically like it, and Chang Deng and Yin Qingqing are the kind who would reach out for two yuan if Nie Qiu asked, so even though Nie Chi prepared a lot of sweets for him , It will be divided up by everyone in one day, and when Wen Er thinks it is not enough, he will go to grab Wen Wu's hands.

Wen Wu retracted the iron sword into its sheath with a backhand, strode over, and answered Nie Qiu with skillful movements.

As soon as he put his hand into the cloth bag that Nie Qiu had untied, he felt the collar at the back of his neck tighten, and that force was pulling him back.

Wen Er appeared behind him unknowingly, took the first piece with a smile, put it in his mouth, then let go of Wen Wu's hand, and thanked vaguely: "Thank you, Junior Brother Nie."

"Brother Wen Er." Nie Qiu said, "Why don't you give some more to others."

Brother Wen Er, who still had peach blossom scum on his mouth, had not had time to answer, and Wen Wu pushed him away, blocking Nie Qiu like a hen guarding its cubs... The sweet in his hand, he said earnestly: "Here He, maybe there will be no one left in the yard before he returns, and they all went into his stomach."

"This statement is wrong, I will still leave a piece for Master." Wen Er was full of magnanimity.

Nie Qiu had just been depressed. Although the two of them were chattering as usual, it made him dizzy, so he simply stuffed the paper bag containing the sweets into Wen Wu's hand, and said casually: "Then all Take it."

After finishing speaking, he pressed his temple, said "I'll go back first", and left in a hurry.

Holding the bag of sweets in his arms, Wen Wu looked at the back of Nie Qiuyuan, and suddenly felt that the paper bag in his hand was very hot, like a hot potato. His upper and lower teeth collided, and he quickly stuffed the paper bag into Wen Wu. In the second arms, he asked doubtfully: "Did the people from Nie's family say something to Nie Qiu just now? I feel that he is a little depressed. Or are you too annoying?"

Wen Er's complete eye slanted, and a sentence came out of his mouth: "You are annoying."

Having said that, Wen Er did not chase after the victory as in the past, teasing him, the youngest junior, but waved his hand, said nothing, and dragged Wen Wu back.

Since Nie Qiu chose to stay alone, there was naturally a reason for him.

It's useless to persuade anyone at this time, it's better to wait for him to calm down.

As others, they could only quietly stand behind him.

As Wen Er thought, Nie Qiu gradually calmed down when he returned to the courtyard.

He first regretted whether his tone just now was too aggressive, and then regretted why he really stuffed the bag full of sweets to Wen Er. Every time he saw the person sent by Nie Chi, he would always come back. Share the sweets he got with Chang Deng and Yin Qingqing.This time it was good, it was all given to Wen Er, and the master and sister didn't get anything.

When Chang Deng and Yin Qingqing saw him coming back, although they didn't ask anything, Nie Qiu still felt a little guilty and guilty, so he took out two more miscellaneous books from his bag and gave them to them as a way to comfort himself.

When eating at night, Nie Qiu felt depressed and had no appetite, so he didn't go.

Yin Qingqing put the food on his table, just saying that he would fill his stomach when he felt hungry.

Nie Qiu complied.

He first leaned on the couch and read the book that Nie Chi brought him for a while, only to feel that the black characters in front of him were twisting and twisting like snakes on the white background, and he forced himself to calm down and read word by word to understand what was written. What is it, the words and sentences are pieced together but read in a cloud.

After finally entering the state, the sky became dark, so Nie Qiu put down the book to light a candle, and it took only a short time for a stick of incense. When he came back, he couldn't read it anyhow like before.

Glancing at the food on the table, there were meat and vegetables, Nie Qiu felt a little nauseous when he saw it, and he didn't have the slightest thought of using chopsticks.

So Nie Qiu lay down on the couch again, looking up at the beams of the house.Above the flickering candlelight, the dim light illuminated a small part of the darkness, and the remaining large area was all huddled around, staring at the people beside the candlelight.

Contain frost, drink fire.

Nie's family, Nie Chi, family rules, hexagrams.

Thieves running around, blood all over the place, dim sky.

Shenyun Pavilion, Changdeng, Yin Qingqing, Wenwu, Wen[-], Wensi, Wenyunshui...

Countless thoughts began to brew in the darkness.

Night is the best time for sad spring and autumn, Nie Qiu repeated those memories over and over again in his mind, and went backwards.

I don’t know if it’s because the last memory stays on the moonlit night when he won the first place in the competition: Wen Wu knocked over the table; Chang Deng shrugged his shoulders with a smile; the corners of Yin Qingqing's mouth twitched, she wanted to laugh but she didn't...

In short, Nie Qiu finally fell asleep holding a book that he had only read a few pages.

This was the night he hadn't seen in a long time without a nightmare to follow.

The dream is clear and clear, it is the Shenyun Pavilion under the rising sun.

The fiery red clouds dispersed and sprinkled the afterglow of the morning sun on the ground. At this time, the disciples of Shenyun Pavilion had already woken up and practiced martial arts for a long time, and the warm sun was hitting their bodies. They just wiped the sweat off their faces and continued to do what they had to do .

Occasionally, Nie Qiu would climb up a low mountain that is not so tall, or sit on the eaves and watch the sunrise quietly.

That was all he remembered about the dream that night.

From now on, there will be no peace.

Nie Qiu was woken up.

He pressed his forehead and slowly got up from the couch, feeling a little sore in his neck.

It was still dark, the red candle on the table had been burned out, and the wax oil like blood and tears had condensed in the dish. The room was pitch-black, and only the outlines of objects could be seen clearly. In the moonless night, there was no sound. throat.

There was a loud noise coming from a distance. Listening carefully, he could vaguely distinguish screams and the sound of swords.

Nie Qiu's head was dizzy and his consciousness was very fuzzy. It took him a while to react after hearing that sound.

He rolled over, grabbed the iron knife standing by the door, opened the window cautiously and turned out.

The situation in the valley can be clearly seen from the eaves.

Countless torches are burning, and the scorching flames are eating away at the darkness around them. They are so bright that they are dazzling, and they reflect strange faces of Nie Qiu, either expressionless or ferocious. Which kind, can make people sweat coldly on the moonless night.

Too many people.

Nie Qiu frowned, bent down, and tried to stick his body to the tiles.

Shen Yun Pavilion does not allow outsiders to enter, even if there is an enemy attack, they should be trapped by the natural formation formed by the bamboo forest, and then give the disciples of Shen Yun Pavilion time to react... No matter how you say it It shouldn't be like this.

Moreover, Master and Senior Sister did not wake him up.

The courtyard was pitch black, Chang Deng and Yin Qingqing were not there.

There are many people guarding beside the bamboo grove, and although Shen Yunge lives deep in the valley, it has a natural advantage, but because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to run away. In such a situation, it fell into a passive position situation.

Nie Qiu had a vague premonition in his heart, but he didn't want to think about it.

Chang Deng and Wen Yunshui are siblings, and he also said that if something happens, he can go to them.

Nie Qiu took a deep breath and decided to go to Wenyunshui's courtyard first to ask them what happened.

So he forced himself to calm down, first went back to the room, lit the already burnt wax oil, tidied up hastily in the dim and inconspicuous light, and took some wound medicine and other things.

Afraid of being discovered by others, Nie Qiu took it quickly, turned around and wanted to blow out the flames, but suddenly stopped in a daze.

He looked at the wooden table, his fingers trembling, and he almost dropped the things in his hands on the ground.

To be precise, he was looking at the plates of food that had cooled down on the table.

A grain of rice that should have been white and clear turned dark gray, but the soup condensed into an unnatural solid, with sporadic particles floating on the surface, like measles growing on a person's body... Every dish reveals something different unusual breath.

There is poison in the food.

Shen Yunge is an orthodox sect, but it does not compete with the world on weekdays, and there are very few enemies.

If someone takes out the silver needle to test the poison at every meal, I'm afraid they will be laughed at.

Nie Qiu didn't understand these things, and at most he dabbled in healing. Even if he saw it, he couldn't tell what it was. He only knew that it was something he had never seen before.

If it was an ordinary enemy attack, Nie Qiu was actually not too worried. After all, the master, Chang Deng, Wen Yunshui and other masters were there, and Chang Deng, Wen Yunshui and others still had the "five secrets of marriage" in the Jianghu. Good reputation, even though Yin Qingqing is still young, she has already made a name for herself, as well as Wen Yi, the famous "Luanzhan" sword used by Wen Yi is also coveted by many people.

Even Wen Wu, who often fights with him, is the fourth disciple in Shenyun Pavilion.

But if someone sneaks in ahead of time and puts poison in their meals... no, maybe they poison the water, then it will be troublesome.

Nie Qiu felt chills all over his body just thinking about it.

Perhaps this person didn't realize that he had no appetite, and left the dinner to dry for several hours, until the food spoiled in the hot weather, showing the clues.

In Shen Yun Pavilion, there were traitors from within, and they cooperated with the outside in this night to exterminate them.
