It seems that the little apprentice is having a good time on Huiliu Mountain! They are all grown up.
Li Fulin was very pleased.
Therefore entrusting Gu to Gu, Li Fulin was really afraid that he would be entrusted. Now it seems that the little apprentice has started to grow taller, which shows that he takes good care of people. Although he looks skinny now, but according to his current appearance, he will grow an inch or two every year. In a few years, the little apprentice will grow into a nine-foot man like his uncle.
Xiaodong looked at the master's sleepwalking smile, and always thought it was a smirk.
"Go back, swordsmanship still needs a lot of practice. If there is anything you don't understand, ask your brothers and sisters more, and it's the same to ask the master."
Xiaodong nodded obediently.
Li Fulin couldn't help it, the obedient little apprentice was so annoying. In terms of talent, he already has a big apprentice who is too outstanding, so there is really no need to force all of them to be equally extraordinary.
"Come, come, this is for you. The master gave it to you alone. None of your brothers and sisters have it."
A bulging purse was stuffed in Xiaodong's hand, which was heavy. He thought the master had given him pocket money? But the red envelopes for the Chinese New Year have already been given. Although everyone needs pocket money, it is really useless on Huiliu Mountain. There is no place to spend money at all. Unless you go down the mountain, there is no place to spend money in the town.
In the end, when I turned my head and looked at it, I realized that what was stuffed in the purse was not copper plates or broken silver, but dried fruits. I don't know what kind of fruit it is, probably it was brought by the master from the mountain, and it is smaller than jujube. The pulp is sweeter than honey, and has an indescribable fruity aroma. Xiaodong gnawed all the pulp and was still reluctant to spit out the core. The core is also sweet, and it is as delicious as it is sucked in the mouth. This fruit is dried when eaten, it is either boiled and soaked in honey, or it is not known what kind of fruit it is, and I don’t know if the core can be planted in Huiliu Mountain
Xiaodong clutched the purse tightly with the fruit core in his mouth, Li Fulin smiled and winked at the little apprentice.
Mo Chen originally wanted to talk to his junior brother, but Jiang Fan hurried in from the outside and whispered in his ear: "Senior brother, we found Chu Er."
Mo Chen didn't show any strange expression on his face, and followed Jiang Fan out of the room.
Jiang Fan's voice was very low, and while walking with Mo Chen, he said: "It was found by the hunter who lived in Xiangbeipo. Xueda wanted to cut more firewood, but found a person in the snow, wearing a Huiliu mountain shirt. Clothes, and badges, they sent them."
"Have you seen it?"
Jiang Fan said: "After taking a look, the face, hands and feet were bitten by wild beasts, but I can recognize that it is Chu Er, and the waist card is also his."
Mo Chen entered the stone house, and on the stone platform was a corpse covered by sackcloth. Lifting the hem of the cloth and taking a look, Mo Chen was sure that the person who died was Chu Er.
"Does anyone else know about this?"
"Only the two gatekeepers know, and they brought it in. No one else knows. I will tell them not to talk nonsense."
The body was so cold that he was as hard as a stone, and it was impossible to tell when people died. In addition to those bite wounds, there were bump wounds on the body, and several bones were broken.
There was no sword trauma, and it seemed that he was not poisoned.
Jiang Fan tentatively said, "It looks like he stumbled and fell to his death?"
"Perhaps." Mo Chen always felt that it might not be that simple.
Because it was a coincidence.
Coincidentally, Junior Brother Chen injured his leg for some reason, so Chu Er happened to come in and out of him. Junior Brother Chen usually has no relationship with anyone, especially with these outer disciples.
Coincidentally, when Mo Chen wanted to find him and ask him what happened, he died. If no one who went up the mountain to cut firewood found out, after another two snowfalls, he might be covered even more tightly, and he might not be discovered until the spring warms and the snow melts.
Or it may never be found.
Jiang Fan was also a little confused.
He didn't think as much as Mo Chen.
This guy, Xiu Er, also took a letter to Huiliu Mountain. The relationship between the person who wrote the letter and the master was not good, but he had to give some face. Anyway, there are a lot of outer disciples, so the master left him behind. But Xiu Er's popularity is really not that good, this person is not talented, he does not practice hard, he only thinks about opportunism, and none of the outer disciples made friends with him, but there were only two who forged enmity .
Xuan Er also has a kung fu foundation in him, if he stumbled and fell to his death, he always feels that it is not so credible. Even the younger brother would not make such a mistake.
Could it be that he did something annoying again and was plotted against by others
It's not impossible.
But one of the most important rules of the Huiliu Mountain Gate is to strictly forbid the same sect to kill each other. No matter how bad Xu Er was, if the other disciples really did something to him, then this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and there must be no such ruthless person among the disciples on the mountain.
If there is such a person, then this person must be found.
"Do you want to report this to Master?" Jiang Fan asked softly.
"I have to report back."
It's just that the timing is not right now. Senior Liu and the nephew he brought are still on the mountain. If this happens, it might be the family scandal of Huiliu Mountain. If there are no outsiders, it is easy to check after closing the door. But now that there are people around, Mo Chen even has to think twice about the timing of reporting back to his master.
He really didn't want to associate Xiu Er's death with Junior Brother Chen, but right now, it seemed that he had to ask Junior Brother Chen about some things.
Today, after Junior Brother Chen practiced a set of sword techniques, the judgment and advice given by the master was too much. Junior brother Chen held an indelible hatred in his heart, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the gloomy and murderous aura in his sword technique.
If it continues like this, maybe he will go crazy before revenge.
Besides, how can he avenge him? Could it be that if you are successful in your studies, go back to the Chen family to kill your father and relatives
If he was asked to give up revenge, then the death of Junior Brother Chen's biological mother would be too unfair. Although others can't fully know the inside story, what they just heard is enough to guess 70% to 80% of it.
"Take care of this place first, and deal with it after I report back to the master." After a pause, Mo Chen added: "Don't let others find out, especially the younger brother."
Jiang Fan imagined what would happen if the younger brother saw this, and immediately felt chills, nodded his head hastily: "Don't worry, brother."
Mo Chen came out of the stone house and looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky. The mountain wind was bitter, and it made people feel chills.
No matter how difficult the things outside are, it wouldn't make him so bored, but if the matter of Xiu Er was really killing each other in this sect, it would be too uncomfortable. (to be continued)
