Chapter 9

Xi Cang vaguely felt that the sad story in Hua Ruomeng's mouth was very likely to be related to Master, so he asked cautiously, "Can I hear this story?"

Hua Ruomeng only said, "This story is very long."

"I can listen to you speak slowly."

"Unexpectedly, although the young master is young, he has a lot of patience."

Living with someone with Master's temperament, it's impossible not to have good patience. Thinking of Master, Xi Cang's slightly serious face finally showed a trace of warmth, "As long as you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen anytime."

The beautiful figure on the couch seemed to move, but the tone was a little low, "I have never seen a person with the surname Xi in the past ten years. I don't want to or don't want to. In fact, I deliberately avoided this surname. After so many years Yes, the slave family thought that the past had disappeared, but now that I saw you and heard the surname Xi again, the slave family realized that some things have been carved into the bone, and it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist if you can’t see it on the surface. , Now recalling the past, I realize how idiotic, how stupid, how pitiful, how pathetic and hateful I was.”

Xi Cang is very sensitive to the word ten years, because his memory only started ten years ago. Now that she also mentioned ten years ago, it seems that this matter is probably related to Master.Hearing her sad words again, I couldn't help but say, "There will always be some good memories in the past, right?"

"Hehe..." Hua Ruomeng laughed mockingly, "Those beautiful memories are nothing more than a dream woven by lies and betrayal."

It seems that this story is indeed not very pleasant to listen to, but Xi Cang really wants to hear it, but hearing her tone, it is not easy to ask too closely for a while.

Hua Ruomeng sighed again, "It's been ten years in the blink of an eye, and it's fate to meet you, Mr. Xi again. Since Mr. Xi is interested in this story that has been dusty for ten years, I might as well tell you about it." Well, maybe it will be a kind of relief for the slave family after telling it."

Xi Cang couldn't ask for it, "I am willing to listen carefully."

"20 years ago..."

"Isn't it ten years ago?"

"This story from ten years ago must start with 20 years ago."

"Sorry, please continue."

Hua Ruomeng finally spoke slowly.

"Twenty years ago, the family of the slave family underwent great changes. An originally happy and happy family was looted overnight by gangsters. They didn't even let the parents of the slave family beg for mercy, and the younger brother of the slave family who was just one month old was in the slave house. When he was about to encounter the evil hands of gangsters and was desperate, that man appeared. He was like a hero who fell from the sky to save the slave family from fire and water. From that moment, his chivalrous and heroic demeanor was deeply imprinted on the slave family when he was still young. Since then, I have decided to use my whole life to repay his life-saving grace."

"Who is he?"

"His surname is Long, and his name is Long Zhan. You should be familiar with this name."

Xi Cang shook his head and said honestly, "I've never heard of this name, is he famous?"

Hua Ruomeng was a little surprised, not knowing whether to say he was innocent or ignorant, "He is a well-known figure in the Jianghu, his character and martial arts are even more convincing to both black and white in the Jianghu, you have never heard of it? Is it possible? Did you come out of the deep mountains?"

"Before I came to Suzhou, I did live on the mountain."

Unexpectedly, it was right, Hua Ruomeng smiled and said, "Then you must have a master with extraordinary kung fu?"

"how do you know?"

"You also said earlier that you have no family, and just now you said that you have been living on the mountain, but you have a good kung fu, so there must be an expert behind you who is guiding you."

Although the master has never instructed himself, but the master should be an expert, so Xi Cang nodded, "That's right."

"Then you went down the mountain this time, is it also your master's instruction?"

"You also know?"

Hua Ruomeng laughed again, very happy, "Young master is also an honest person, if you didn't have master's order, how could you go down the mountain alone?"

"How do you know that I went down the mountain alone?"

"Did the servant guess wrong?"

Xi Cang paused, "No, you guessed right."

"The plots of this river and lake story are roughly like this, so it's not unusual to guess right."

Xi Cang didn't want to go too far, "But I can't guess your story at all."

"It's not surprising, because I've never guessed it right myself."

"what's next?"

"Then the slave family was adopted by Long Zhan. He wanted to adopt the slave family as a righteous daughter, but the slave family did not agree, because the slave family had already had other thoughts about him. For the next ten years, he taught the slave family how to learn literature and martial arts, and took care of him. With meticulous attention to detail, my family's admiration for him is getting deeper and deeper, but it's a pity that there is never a trace of my family's shadow in his eyes."

Xi Cang is still ignorant about emotional matters, and doesn't know how to comfort him for a while.

"Young Master, are you laughing at the slave family?"

"No, I was just thinking, who is this Xi He?"

Hua Ruomeng seemed very unwilling to hear this name, because when she heard this name, her tone became a little cold, "He is a man, but he is a man who is more beautiful than a woman. He is Long Zhan's younger brother. He He is also the love rival of the slave family, and the only person whom the slave family has ever hated in this lifetime."

"what do you mean?"

"Everyone in the Jianghu regards Long Zhan as a hero, a hero, and they all look up to him, knowing that he only loves wine and not beautiful women, but in fact, no one knows that the reason why he doesn't love beautiful women is because he only loves his unique one. , as beautiful as an exile's younger brother."

Xi Cang was curious, "Can men also love each other?"

The figure on the bed suddenly sat up, fell down and walked straight towards the outer room, and then the crystal curtain was gently lifted by a pair of jade-like catkins.I saw her wearing thin clothes, a pink and white Yunyan Qianshui shirt with double butterflies and embroidered petals, which made her snow-white skin more fat like jade, and her bun was slightly loose, adding a sense of laziness Meaning, charming feelings, the originally very gorgeous appearance now has a kind of weak and sickly beauty, which makes people feel pity and deeply fascinated by it.

"Is your home beautiful?" Hua Ruomeng looked at him after finishing speaking, but found that his expression didn't change at all, so she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows.

"It's beautiful." Xi Cang praised in a flat tone.It's just that no matter how beautiful a person is, he can't compare with the master in his heart.

Hua Ruomeng stared at him in a daze, and suddenly laughed again, but there was a hint of sadness in the laughter, and after a while, she gradually stopped smiling, "You really look like him, your expression looks exactly like him now! "

"with who?"

"Dragon War!" Hua Ruomeng fiddled with the crystal curtain with her slender fingers, with an expression lost in memory, "That night, I broke into his room and took off my clothes one by one in front of him. Ask him, 'Am I beautiful?' He also said, 'I'm beautiful.' But his expression was exactly the same as yours just now, you all said I was beautiful, but there was no room for me in your eyes."

Xi Cang was speechless because what she said was the truth.

Hua Ruomeng let go of the crystal curtain weakly, turned around and lay down on the couch again, "I'm exhausted, my lord, please go back!"

"Can I come back tomorrow to hear your story?"

"Then let's see if the slave family is interested in it tomorrow."

Although Xi Cang really wanted to listen to it all at once, she couldn't force others to do so. After saying hello, she left her room.

Ziqiao was not there, and no one helped him lead the way. He walked out of Nuoda's back house with his vivid memory, but almost bumped into someone at the corner.

"Barbarian!" The person who almost bumped into him was the arrogant Mr. Mei Qi. He pretended to brush off the clothes on his chest, "You barbarian, don't you have eyes when you walk?"

"I didn't bump into you." Xi Cang walked around him after speaking, not wanting to compete with him at all.

"You said you didn't hit him, so you didn't hit him?" Mei Qi naturally wouldn't let him go easily, grabbed his back clothes and continued to pester him, "My son just said that you hit him, are you not convinced?"

Xi Cang turned his head and slapped off the opponent's hand, and continued walking forward.

Mei Qi shook her hand that hurt from being slapped, and yelled angrily, "You really offended me this time!" Unfortunately, she didn't have a sword in her hand. Seeing him walking farther and farther, Mei Qi simply picked it up from the ground. A stone was used as a hidden weapon and shot towards his back vest.

Seeing that the arch was about to come out, but the sound of breaking wind came from behind, Xi Cang only slightly moved half a step to the right, not wanting to catch up with him at all, but suddenly another figure appeared outside the arch, looking at her defenseless He looked like he was going to be caught by a hidden weapon.In desperation, he tapped his toes lightly, and suddenly moved forward a foot, his right hand caught the stone as quickly as lightning.

The person who came was Ziqiao, and she came to chase Mei Qi.Don't want to just turn into the arch, when she saw a tall figure suddenly attacking herself, she was so startled that she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Xi Cang threw the stone away, saw her patted her chest to suppress her shock, and apologized, but did not explain the reason.

Mei Qi, the chief culprit, could clearly see from behind them, he stuck out his tongue secretly, if it wasn't for that savage, he would have gotten into trouble, it's good that Ziqiao isn't angry, she can compare to that girl Cuizhu when she gets angry Even more of a headache.

Zi Qiao saw the person clearly, she just shook her head, and seeing Mei Qi standing there far away, she knew there was a reason for the incident, "Master, are you going back?"

"Exactly."

"Then I'll send you off, son."

After Ziqiao finished speaking, she winked at Mei Qi again.

Mei Qi pretended not to notice, and ran away in a hurry.

Ziqiao had no choice but to send Xi Cang all the way to the main gate.

"My girl seems to like the young master very much. When the young master is free, remember to come to the Bieyuan often."

"I'll come back tomorrow."

Zi Qiao didn't expect him to speak directly, she was taken aback for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, he had already walked away, looking at the umbrella in her hand, she sighed.

The snow was still falling, it was getting late, the long bluestone road was paved with a thick layer of snow, and there was only his figure in the empty snow-white alley, moving forward firmly step by step.

Although Xi Cang's footsteps were steady but hurried, he was worried about Master.Although the life down the mountain was more exciting than on the mountain, it always made people feel uneasy. I had to leave Master temporarily when I was doing business, but once I left, I always cared about him.This uneasy mood made Xi Cang decide that as soon as the matter was over, he and his master would go back to the Sleepless Mountain. After all, the peaceful life before was suitable for them.
