Xiaodong waited and waited, but later in the night, it was getting colder and colder, Aunt Qi gestured for him to rest, and he asked Aunt Qi to rest, but neither of them went in the end. Aunt Qi brought him a thick dress. I don't know who it is, but it's not Senior Sister Linglong's. It's wide and long, but it's very thick and warm. Xiaodong sat there wrapped in such a dress, thinking about things out of his mind, and leaned there for some time, staring in a daze, until he heard footsteps around him, and then realized that he had fallen asleep.
Annoyed in his heart, he opened his eyes and was about to get up when the person standing beside him gently touched his head: "Don't worry, it's all right now."
As soon as Xiaodong opened his eyes, he saw senior brother standing beside him.
"Eldest senior brother!" Xiaodong got up too fast, the long jacket that didn't fit him slipped off, Mo Chen stretched out his hand to catch it for him.
"Brother, are you okay? Are you injured?"
There was no blood stain on Mo Chen's body, it seemed that he was still calm and composed, as usual.
Xiaodong breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked cautiously, "Then... has anyone chased him?"
Mo Chen didn't speak.
Xiaodong thought, probably he shouldn't have asked this question. Lin Yan came here in the middle of the night, doing something shady, most of which involved the secrets of the sect, so it would be too rash to ask.
It's probably inconvenient to say that after chasing the senior brother, if not chasing, then I shouldn't have to ask this question.
Seeing Xiaodong's cautious expression for fear of getting into trouble, Mo Chen's heart felt inexplicably sore, afraid that the little junior would think wildly again, so he said softly: "I didn't catch him, she ran away."
Xiaodong said in his heart that he shouldn't have asked.
Mo Chen glanced at him, the twists and turns and complexity of it, I can't tell my junior brother.
The one who came yesterday was not the real Lin Yan at all, when Mo Chen grabbed her, suddenly his palm was empty, what he grabbed was just a piece of skin.
He was so stunned that he didn't make a move immediately, and the thing that was wrapped in the skin who didn't know whether it was a human or a demon took the opportunity to escape.
The real Lin Yan was probably plotted against before going back and forth to Liushan. The human skin was tanned by medicine, so it didn't look like it happened in a day or two.
Thinking about it can't help but make people not afraid.
How could he tell his junior brother about this, it would definitely scare him out of his wits. In the past few days, Lin Yan had talked face-to-face with the junior brother, and even had tea and dinner together. Even Mo Chen felt terrified and loathed when he recalled it, the junior brother must have been terrified.
"The door of your house is broken, you will live in my side for the next few days." Mo Chen put the thick clothes on Xiaodong again, turned around and walked out, Xiaodong hurriedly followed behind.
This cotton robe is really too long, Xiaodong drags the hem on the ground wearing it, he lifts the hem with his hands, his legs are short, but now he is burdened by the unfit clothes, the eldest brother walks too fast , Xiaodong walked faster and faster, almost had to trot all the way to keep up with him.
I don't know if it was because he heard the chaotic and hasty footsteps behind him, Mo Chen slowed down and turned his head to take a look.
Xiaodong didn't know why, and looked at him suspiciously with open round eyes.
Mo Chen handed him a hand.
Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to hold the hand that the senior brother extended.
The pace of the big brother behind was not so fast, and Xiaodong could keep up.
Jiang Fan hurried over from the other end of the corridor, saw the two of them from a distance, and hurried over.
"Eldest brother, the master told you to go there quickly, and asked the younger brother to go too."
Mo Chen was a little surprised: "Let Xiaodong go too?"
Jiang Fan nodded, hesitant to speak when looking at Xiaodong.
Xiaodong didn't notice any strangeness in Brother Jiang's expression. He just thought that it must be something important for the master to ask the elder brother to go there.
But why did you ask yourself to go too
Xiaodong thought, Master knew that he almost died last night, so he told him to go there
Or, the master knew the reason why Lin Yan approached him yesterday
In the short few steps, Lu Xiaodong changed his mind a lot, but he never thought of the reason why the master asked him to go, even Mo Chen didn't know.
Seeing the disciples coming in, Li Fulin rarely lost his usual smile. He is usually very kind, and he doesn't put on airs to his disciples. But now is not the time to joke.
He really couldn't relax.
"Xiaodong, come here." Li Fulin waved to the young apprentice, motioning him to sit closer.
Xiaodong hesitated.
Although the master is very kind to him, and the brothers and sisters are courteous and friendly, there are still some rules that must be observed. When the master was around, Xiaodong was the last to start, so he must be sitting in the farthest and last seat. Now that the master asked him to sit there, wouldn't he sit at the top in front of the brothers
But now who cares about this with him
When Xiaodong sat down, he felt quite uneasy.
Li Fulin also noticed that he was wrapped in an obviously ill-fitting cotton robe, which looked a little funny, like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes.
The little apprentice was still a half-grown child.
"Did you not get hurt last night?"
Several people have already asked him this question, even Aunt Qi, who can't speak, asked him with gestures, Xiaodong almost gritted his teeth and swore that he was really fine.
"Eldest brother came in time, Lin Yan not only failed to hurt Xiao and me, but lost one of his own fingers, the hand holding the sword! Even if she ran away, the hand that wanted to hold the sword again in the future But it will be difficult."
He didn't know that the real Lin Yan had died long ago, Li Fulin glanced at Mo Chen, knowing that he didn't share the truth with his junior brother, he was relieved.
"What's wrong here?" Li Fulin saw a red mark on Xiaodong's neck, and his heart tightened.
That piece of human skin last night made Li Fulin dare not let go of any subtleties. The other party’s methods were seen as demons. Li Fulin checked the discarded skin and made sure that the person who peeled it should be the same person. living.
What if the little apprentice got caught in some secret trick? This must not be taken lightly.
"I'm really not hurt, master." Xiaodong wished he could swear to the heavens. He didn't feel any pain in his neck. What if he was really hurt
But he couldn't see anything wrong with his neck, and there was no mirror in front of it.
Xiaodong raised his hand to touch it, but he didn't feel any swelling or broken skin, it was fine.
Then his face changed.
What about the pendant he keeps hanging around his neck? It was the only relic of his parents, and Xiaodong never left it with him day and night, but now his neck is empty, and the pendant is gone. (to be continued)
