As soon as Xiaodong left the courtyard, he met several people head-on. Two outer disciples, leading two handymen, their faces are a bit familiar, their names, I really can't remember them for a while, Xiaodong has been dawdling in the past few months, and has no contact with other people, these days things are going on again. Many, really did not remember these people one by one.
"Junior Brother Yun? Where are you going?"
Although outer sect disciples and direct disciples are not the same thing, but on weekdays everyone is polite and polite, and there is no direct disciple who wants to bully others by relying on his status. Maybe there are other sects, but there are few people in Huiliu Mountain Yes, there are few right and wrong, but there has never been such a thing.
"Go for a walk."
The two outer disciples looked at each other, and the one in the dark gown stepped forward and said softly, "Junior Brother Yun is not injured, right? You have..."
Xiaodong took advantage of the situation to look down, and there was a mass of blood rubbed on the front front at some point.
He was not hurt.
Having not slept all night, Xiaodong is always a little slow thinking about things at the moment, even if someone pricks him with a needle, it may take a while before he asks, "Who pricked me?"
Seeing the bloodstains, he felt nervous for a while. Of course he himself was not injured, but senior brother carried him on the back yesterday, and senior brother Jiang also carried him, could it be that they were both injured
Then he remembered that the blood might belong to Lin Yan. Eldest brother cut off one of Lin Yan's fingers yesterday, when he was so close, the blood splashed on his body, but it was dark at that time, let alone didn't see it, just saw it, who cares about it.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not injured, maybe I accidentally got it on."
The outer disciple nodded and said, "It's fine since the younger brother is not injured. However, the road has been slippery these days, and it's extremely difficult to walk, and the way down the mountain is blocked, so the younger brother should not go far."
Xiaodong thanked them with a nod, and seeing the two outer disciples leading the handymen walking over, suddenly remembered something.
One thing he shouldn't have forgotten.
"that… "
People who had gone a few steps stopped to wait for his question.
Xiaodong asked: "Old Crow, how is it?"
Xiaodong didn't realize until now that he didn't know Lao Ya's proper name and surname. He heard people call him that, so he followed him. Now that I mentioned it seriously, I still can only call out the old crow.
The two outer disciples glanced at each other, both a little dazed. Or a handyman who followed him tentatively said: "Old Crow? Is that the handyman in the firewood house, Old Tan?"
Xiaodong didn't even know if his surname was Tan, but he should be doing odd jobs in the woodshed.
"He's dead." The handyman said with a look of fear: "The neck was broken. Someone found it at the bridgehead at dawn, and it was frozen hard."
The other guy next to him felt something was wrong and tugged on his sleeve, and this guy remembered and took a look at Xiaodong.
His face was pale, and any stronger wind would have blown him away.
Wouldn't it be frightening
The two outer disciples were also a little annoyed, they just met by chance and greeted each other, but they didn't expect to cause such trouble. If it really frightens and annoys people, the one behind who doesn't wink and can't speak will definitely not do well, even the one with the two of them watching from the side will suffer.
The master is not afraid, but the elder brother is the one who speaks best. He attaches great importance to his junior brother, and he follows him all day long, not as if he is with his junior brother, but as if he is with his son. These outer disciples may not all take Xiaodong seriously, but there is absolutely no one who dares not to treat senior brother Seriously. If you really think that senior brother is a good old man with no temper, or that a gentleman can bully him, then he is totally wrong.
Holding his breath, he didn't dare to let go. When he looked up, he saw someone coming towards him. He was wearing a long gown with a white background and blue borders embroidered with silver thread. Because he was walking in a hurry, the front of the gown was turned up, and the sleeves could be seen from a distance. It looks like a crane with its wings spread.
It's true that you can't talk about people during the day and you can't talk about ghosts at night. Just now, I was muttering in my stomach that this person is difficult to deal with, and he came so soon.
Except for Xiaodong, everyone else suddenly became respectful in front of Mo Chen, even breathing became a little cautious.
"Eldest senior brother?" Xiaodong asked, "Why are you here?"
Mo Chen nodded slightly to the few people who stood aside like quails with their heads shrunk, then lowered his head slightly and asked Xiaodong: "Did you find the thing?"
Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but the conversation between him and Xiaodong was not the same as usual.
The outer disciples next to him could hear it clearly.
This eccentricity has been so blatantly and undisguised, so those who have no backing can only
Xiaodong shook his head and said, "It's not in the house, I want to go out and look for it."
Mo Chen didn't make a sound.
But he knew better than Xiaodong. If you can't find it in the house, I'm afraid it will be hard to find that little pendant. Huiliu Mountain is so big, finding this pendant is no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
But what Mo Chen was thinking in his heart at this moment was exactly the same as what Xiaodong was thinking just now.
No matter what, he has to help Xiaodong find the pendant. If he can't find it for a day, it will be two days, and if he can't find it for a year, it will be two years.
He still remembered that time when he came back, Xiaodong was so sick and drowsy that he didn't look like a boy in his teens, when he changed his clothes, he lifted him up and let him lightly They were all shocked. In those few nights, he and Jiang Fan took turns to watch over the junior brother. After feeding the medicine and water, he meditated beside him. I don't know why I can't calm down, I always have to open my eyes to look at him, and even touch his wrist pulse to make sure he is breathing, so that I can feel at ease. Even though he knew it in his heart, he was lying under the wide and thick quilt, the quilt was flat and there was no ups and downs at all. If he didn't look carefully, he thought it was empty under the quilt.
"The mountain is not very peaceful today. I don't know if there are still people sneaking into the mountain gate. The master sent a message that everyone should not go out today, so as not to cause any trouble again."
What the senior brother said is reasonable, and Xiaodong also knows that this is a big deal. Whether he was attacked or the old crow was killed, it would definitely not be all. There might be more and bigger troubles on the mountain than this.
"The door of your house is broken, you should live in a different place for the next two days." Mo Chen said, "You can live with Jiang Fan if you want, and you can live with me. My place is more spacious."
The observers didn't dare to interject a word, and no one could know what was muttering in their stomachs.
Is it so easy to live there, big brother? Although it is said that the senior brother favors the junior junior brother, it makes people jealous, but none of them would dare to change any of them with the junior junior brother. The master is lazy, and it's not a year or two since the senior brother acts as a teacher. They usually don't dare to breathe when they see the elder brother. If they really live under the elder brother's nose, how will they live in fear? I can't even get through the day. (to be continued)
