Qining tried his best to help Eve detoxify twice. When Eve was covered in sweat and almost exhausted, Qining felt that he had successfully completed the task.
The burning feeling in Eve's body has disappeared, which makes Qining very relieved.
"Is it much better now?" Qining asked Eve softly: "Do you want to do it again?"
Eve was tortured for a while, her whole body became weak, and she said with hatred: "Get out." She pushed Qining away, and Qining smiled. Although she scored twice, she felt relaxed all over her body, and she did not have any physical strength due to her efforts to detoxify. Although he was weak, he felt energetic and said softly: "Are you hungry?"
Eve just huddled in the hay, pulled her clothes to cover her body, and said nothing.
Qi Ning knew that this was quite a consumption, and even he felt a little hungry in his belly. He said softly: "I will go find you some food first, and then find you a pair of shoes. You can rest here for a while, I will be back soon." .”
Eve turned her head and glanced at Qining, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
Qining put on his clothes, held the cold blade, and then walked out the door quietly, closing the door behind him. As expected, the wind and rain outside had stopped, only the eaves were still dripping with raindrops, hitting the ground with a ticking sound.
There was deathly silence all around, and it was already midnight. Qining knew that even if there were people in the compound, they should go to sleep at this time.
A large kitchen like this is naturally indispensable in a large house. She is hungry now. Eve is afraid that she has not eaten for a long time, and coupled with the physical exertion, she must be unbearably hungry at this time.
The courtyard of this large house is scattered and very grand. Qining walked lightly inside the house while thinking about where the kitchen should be located.
There seemed to be no one in the courtyard, and it was so cold. Suddenly, I saw a flickering light not far away. It was moving. I couldn't help but move closer. From a distance, I saw a man holding a lantern in his hand. He was wearing a green shirt and was walking smoothly. He walked forward along a small stone path, with his body slightly hunched over. Not far behind him, there was a figure, some distance away, walking very slowly, and in the darkness, Qining couldn't see the figure clearly for a while. .
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and saw several people walking towards the man in green clothes. The first person was walking very fast. Qining ducked behind a rockery and looked over, only to see a person. The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was leading several people towards the man in green shirt. Before he got close, the middle-aged man had already said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyao, is it... is it Xiaoyao?" His tone sounded unusually excited.
However, they only saw the man in green shirt holding the lantern pushed aside. The figure following him had already quickened his pace and stepped forward. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother, you are always good!" His voice was actually choked with sobs.
Qi Ning was curious, but when he saw the middle-aged man hugging the figure, he cried bitterly: "Xiaoyao, really Xiaoyao, good brother, you... Where have you been for so many years? Do you know , for so many years, I have thought about it day and night, hoping to see you again."
The man named Xiaoyao was also very excited and said: "Brother, it was my fault that I left you without saying goodbye. I have been thinking about my eldest brother all these years."
When Qi Ning heard this, he immediately understood that these two people might be brothers, but they had been separated for many years, but they reunited here tonight.
It's just that the distance is quite far, so I can't see the appearance clearly, but I feel that I have heard the carefree voice somewhere.
"Brother, you really miss me." The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "It should be a happy thing for us brothers to meet each other. Why are you crying like a girl?" He let go of Xiaoyao, thought of something, and replied He turned around and said: "Brother, these are all my guests. We all get together to drink and talk about martial arts. Hahaha, brother, although I like to dance with swords and guns in recent years, I have not made any progress. Back then, your martial arts were inferior to mine. Yes, over the past few years, we have definitely made great progress."
The people behind them all stepped forward to hold their hands, and one of them already smiled and said: "Master Lu is being humbled. Everyone knows the reputation of Master Lu of Fengjian Villa. When it comes to martial arts, he has made rapid progress in these years. Looking at it, Xichuan, I’m afraid there are not many people who can rival him.”
However, Village Leader Lu's face darkened, his voice became cold, and he said calmly: "Gang Leader Hong, if you say this again, we won't even be friends."
Gang Leader Hong was startled, but Villa Boss Lu had already said in a deep voice: "Everyone, from now on, no one is allowed to call me Villa Boss. I, Lu Shanghe, have only helped my brother take care of Fengjian Villa these years. Now the real owner is back. , naturally the property must be returned to its original owner.”
Everyone was shocked, even Qi Ning was puzzled.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the Fengjian Villa these people were talking about should be this mansion. The name sounded a bit like a river and lake. It seemed that he had broken into Fengjian Villa by accident, and this Lu Shanghe was in Xichuan. He seems to be the number one person.
"Brother, if you say that, I will turn around and leave now." Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't want to come over and disturb eldest brother, but since eldest brother sent people to find him, I... If I don't come over again, I'm afraid that eldest brother will blame me."
Qi Ning frowned, feeling that Xiaoyao's voice was becoming more and more familiar. He carefully looked at the figure and outline of the man, and felt a sense of déjà vu. However, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"I heard someone said that you have returned to Xichuan, so I sent people to look around." Lu Shanghe laughed and said: "Someone came to report before, saying that you will definitely come to meet me tonight. Brother, I have been waiting here for a long time. These days All of them are well-known martial arts celebrities in Xichuan. By inviting these people here, I want everyone to clear your name, brother. From now on, the eldest brother will return Fengjian Villa to your brother. You are the owner of Fengjian Villa. "
The people behind him obviously knew nothing about this. Some people were already surprised and said: "Lu Zhuang... Mr. Lu, could it be... could this be Xiang Xiaoyao, the young master of Fengjian Villa?"
Lu Shanghe laughed and said, "Yes, this is my sworn brother Xiaoyao."
Xiang Xiaoyao smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for eighteen years, and my eldest brother has made friends with so many famous martial arts figures."
"Xiaoyao, it's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk. I've already prepared a banquet. I'll make sure I don't get drunk tonight." As he spoke, Lu Shanghe took Xiang Xiaoyao's arm and walked into the room. Several other people also came. They crowded in with smiles.
The courtyard soon became quiet. Qining came out from behind Jiashan and saw a house not far away. The house was lit with lights and was as bright as day. The group of people went there.
Qining was thinking in his mind, trying to remember where he had seen Xiang Xiaoyao, but the more anxious he was to think about it, the more confused he became for a while.
He hesitated for a moment, making sure that there was no one around, and then he quietly approached the house. Since these people were all people in the world, their ears and eyes were naturally sharp. Qining was extremely cautious and quietly touched the side of the house. He saw that there was an open door in front. There was a window with one side open, and he touched it lightly.
The lights in the room were brightly lit at this time, as bright as day. Qining couldn't look around to avoid being noticed. After just a few words of greeting, several people seemed to have sat down, and Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "Everyone, today is the day. My brothers have reunited for the first time in eighteen years. We don’t care about anything else. We will all get drunk tonight. If anyone can get my brother drunk, I will reward him with a thousand taels of silver."
Qi Ning thought that Lu Shanghe was not weak at all, and one thousand taels of silver was not a small amount.
Xiang Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Brother, I'm just kidding. My drinking has been getting worse and worse over the years, and it's no longer what it used to be."
"Oh?" Lu Shanghe said with a smile: "Brother, do you still remember that when you and I killed the Six Ghosts of Badong, we each drank four full jars of wine afterwards, and ended up sleeping on the road."
"How could I not remember?" Xiang Xiaoyao sighed: "That was more than 20 years ago. We were young and frivolous back then, but now... my eldest brother has also grown old."
"I am already forty-eight." Lu Shanghe also sighed: "In two years, I will be fifty. My brother will be forty-three this year, right?"
Xiang Xiaoyao smiled and said: "It turns out that eldest brother still remembers."
"How can I not remember? I still remember that it will be your birthday in one month." Lu Shanghe said: "Xiaoyao, if you still regard me as your eldest brother, you must ask your eldest brother to help you organize your birthday this year. Eighteen years Brother, I have always missed you and always wanted to do something for you, but...!" At this point, his voice was choked with sobs.
"Lu Villa... Mr. Lu, as far as I know, Fengjian Villa was called Chengying Villa back then. Later, he sealed his sword and retired to the old man, and Chengying Villa was renamed Fengjian Villa." A voice said slowly: "Excuse me. I venture that since then, the reputation of Fengjian Villa has faded, and the world has almost forgotten this name. Later, it was Lu Daxia who made Fengjian Villa famous in Xichuan again. Today's Fengjian Villa is completely different from what it was back then."
Lu Shanghe said in a deep voice: "What does Master Feng mean?"
"Dark Master Lu, you know that I have always been outspoken." Sect Leader Feng said solemnly: "Dark Hero Lu, you are now the leader of Xichuan Wulin, and many people follow your example. If Master Lu hands over Fengjian Villa today, … Hehe, leave it to this Brother Xiang, I’m afraid it will shake the Xichuan Wulin.”
Lu Shanghe said sternly: "Master Feng, I invite you here because you are upright and fair. But if you say this now, aren't you trying to sow discord between my brothers?"
I only heard the voice of Gang Leader Hong saying: "Daxia Lu, it is precisely because of the straightforwardness of Sect Master Feng that he said this. The master of Fengjian Villa is no longer the sole responsibility of Daxia Lu. This is a brand. Daxia Lu is eager for justice and justice." , uphold justice, and this is why Fengjian Villa has become a place that everyone respects. It is related to the Xichuan Wulin. Before making a decision, Master Lu must first think about the Xichuan Wulin."
This man's voice was very excited and he spoke impassionedly.
Qi Ning frowned, thinking that Lu Shanghe seemed to have a very deep brotherly relationship with Xiang Xiaoyao, but these people were obviously worried that Lu Shanghe would give up his position as the owner of Fengjian Villa.
Suddenly, Xiang Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Famous celebrities, don't think too much. I came back today just to see my eldest brother. I didn't have any other ideas. When I handed over Fengjian Villa to my eldest brother, I never thought about coming back again. Sword Villa belonged to the eldest brother before, and it will also belong to the eldest brother after that." After a pause, he said: "I gave the Chengying Sword to the eldest brother back then. With the Chengying Sword in hand, no one dares to doubt the identity of the eldest brother."
