Chapter 50: Knife light

Taking into account the body of Chu Mu, Xie Tingyue's party was slightly slower and did not hurry. I did not expect the possibility of meeting Xie Tingri and others again. After all, the other party was in its prime and the car and horse would be too slow.
On this day, when the road suddenly rained heavily, the coachman flew up and finally found an inn.
In the wild countryside, the road is muddy and difficult to walk. I can't see a figure for a long time. The specifications of this inn ... I can also guess that it is not a luxury hotel.
"There is no way to stay in heavy rain." Looking at the broken door that did not exist, Luli sighed, "The place is quite big."
The outlying part of the city, the land price is cheap, this inn is obviously self-built, occupying a large area. It is different from the inn in the city, it looks like a separate house for wealthy people. There are walls and doors. Rundown.
Qin Ping held an umbrella to his master and shouted, "Ma'am, let's go in!"
The first rain in spring was not the same as in previous years, and it was not gentle at all. The raindrops crackled and fell. It was like a heavy rain in the summer afternoon, and the sound was very noisy. Others could not hear it without speaking.
Xie Tingyue checked the blanket on Chu Mu's body again, and nodded solemnly: "Um."
In February, the rain is heavy, but the temperature is not high, the mist is caught in the cold and cold, and it is a coldness to blow on people. Xie Tingyue can't stand it, let alone Chu Wei who is frail and sick?
"Madam, that car—"
Qin Ping Huiwu, when he was in a strange place, the first thing was to watch out for vigilance, listen to the six roads, and look in all directions, and as a result, he saw familiar things.
Xie Tingyue looked over and closed her eyes and sighed.
Several people in the industry were all careful and thoughtful, without losing sight, and looking at that direction, they knew what was going on.
Lu Li smiled: "Such a coincidence, your elder brother is also there!"
"Not only," Chu Mu slightly bowed her head, "the Rou girl, I'm afraid she's also there."
A quick contact on the road did not affect everyone's observation. At that time, the road was congested and the traffic was inconvenient. Many people simply stopped and rested. No matter Xie Tingri or Rou girl, it was impossible to walk on their own feet. far.
A few people didn't need to confirm which car was in a bunch of carriages. Now they see familiar vehicles, and they were not far from Xie Tingri and Rou girl, and some facts could be guessed.
Xie Tingri's schedule was delayed because of the woman.
I'm afraid I will meet again at this inn today, and Yan Hong must be there.
A few people walked in front of the corridor, and the innkeeper trot greeted him with a smile on his face: "Guests come from afar, the shop is not entertained!"
"Anyway," the Qin Ping lord said in reply, "please ask the shopkeeper to open some rooms for us."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "It's not that the villain deliberately embarrassed him, but this day suddenly changed, and the shop was crowded. At that moment ... the number of rooms was limited, and only two rooms were available."
"It's OK to have two rooms," Qin Ping reckoned. The master and his wife would be one, and Lu Gongzi would be fine. "What about ordinary rooms?
He and his followers are not particular about it, so the girl-in-law Ginkgo is a girl's house, there is a separate room, there is no ... separate her for a separate space, everyone can take care of it.
"Everything!" The shopkeeper looked at the other party without being picky, and immediately smiled, leading his head, "Guys, please!"
The three of Xie Tingyue followed the path of goodness and went forward. The three men quietly glanced at the place where others could not see.
In such a large place, such a large inn, there are three floors up and down. Even if there is a heavy rain to stay, how many guests can there be in the wilderness? There are only two houses left ...
"That's it--"
The shopkeeper called the man to open the two door to the room next door, and led Xie Tingyue and others to enter the room to check the room: "The house is cleaned every day to ensure cleanliness and hot water is available at any time. The guest shouted, but this meal ... A few excuse me, the shop has not many customers on weekdays, and there are only two helpers under the kitchen. Today, there are many customers, and it is inevitable to greet them. Later, guests are invited to take a convenience and come downstairs to choose with everyone.
Chu Mu could not agree, Lu Li answered with a smile: "Okay! The shopkeeper looks at the arrangements!"
Eating a meal is of course your favorite dish. It is most comfortable not to be disturbed by others. But when you go out, how can you do what you want? Occasionally must be casual.
Xie Tingyue looked away and saw the footprints on the mud outside through the window.
The men's footprints came all the way from the west, the heels rushed in, the toes rushed out, and the steps were heavy, but it was not clear because of the heavy rain. Many of them were not visible, only the two in front of the window. It's very obvious.
The shopkeeper over there has finished saying: "Guests can just stay at ease and tell them at any time. I'll let the second two get hot water and go to the dust!"
Lu Li looked at the room well, covered his lips and yawned, and waved Xie Tingyue: "I can't do it anymore. I used to sleep."
Xie Tingyue responded, and sent Qin Pingren to clean up the arrangement. When the hot water arrived, he rolled up his sleeves and helped Chu Mu to scrub and dress himself.
After getting along with each other for a long time, he took care of Chu Mu for a considerable amount, but he was a little absent today.
Chu Mu held his hand: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, huh?"
Xie Tingyue's eyebrows: "I just ... I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I feel like something is wrong."
"It takes mentality to deal with it," Xie Tingyue Lachu Mu went to bed. "Mrs. sleep first."
Xie Tingyue thought he couldn't sleep, but he didn't know if the quilt was too warm or Chu Mu's embrace. He felt awake.
When she woke up, she saw Chu Mu's face close to her and almost fell out of bed.
It is more and more habit to sleep in a bed, and he is also more and more self-relieving. From the previous ‘well water does not violate river water’, until now, he has broken into Chu Mu's quilt almost every time and wrapped around people ...
Chu Mu is also very good-tempered, and every time he condone, never push him away.
And that eyelash, isn't it a bit foul!
Chu Mu did not wake up.
Xie Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to explore Chu Mu's forehead.
Fortunately, there was no fever.
"lady……"
While Xie Tingyue was changing her clothes, Chu Mu woke up and said, "What time is it?"
Xie Tingyue quickly wrapped up his lining: "It's almost time for dinner. You wait, I'll come over and help you right away."
Chu Mu put her arms on her arms and watched Xie Tingyue changing clothes with a smile, and said, "Mrs. come slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
The rain was heavy outside, but the light was not dark. Chu Mu could almost see Xie Tingyue's body lines through her clothes, and her skin was firm and smooth.
He always knew ... Madam was very nice.
Xie Tingyue didn't know that she had been seen through. She quickly dressed and turned around. She walked to the bed casually: "I help you dress."
Compared to his shyness, Chu Mu was generous to a state, revealing his body without blushing.
He even stretched his arms and his legs ... forked to facilitate Xie Tingyue's movements.
Xie Tingyue: ...
I did n’t feel anything before. He was used to taking care of people. Everyone was a man ... but I do n’t know when it started, and suddenly there was something awkward in my heart. Every time, I would be slightly embarrassed.
But he is all like this, Chu Mu is still unmoved!
It made him even more angry.
Why are you so disappointed! Why Chu Mu can stay indifferent!
Xie Tingyue gritted his teeth, and did not know who to blame, so he could only compete with himself.
Chu Mu looked at it, and the smile on her lips was deeper.
"Let's go."
Xie Tingyue quickly sorted everything out and pushed Chu Mu out.
The result was just around the corner and Xie Tingri was met.
Xie Tingri, as always, is entangled with the soft girl.
"... So long, my heart, don't you know?"
The girl Rou is long and soft, and her voice is soft: "I just know it, so I can not speak out. I don't dare to ask for the position of my son, who is worthy of a better person."
"You are the better person!"
"My son wouldn't speak like this. When my cousin saw it, he would have misunderstood again."
"Just right, he doesn't want you, I'll take you away!"
"My son ..."
Xie Tingyue: "Cough."
He didn't want to hit him in the face, but Chu Mu's wheelchair was too loud, turning around to avoid it, and turning around too late.
Xie Tingri heard her voice turn around and saw Xie Tingyue for a moment, her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't seem to understand why the other party appeared here. But only for a moment, his eyes became savvy, what just happened ... he saw everything?
"Why are you here?" Xie Tingri immediately held his back with a firm posture, holding his hands behind his back. His elder brother's style was full. "Don't listen to gentlemen, don't you understand this simple truth? "
The wicked pleaded guilty first, and was quite skilled at hitting a rake.
Xie Tingyue's very sincere suggestion: "If you talk about confidentiality and you don't mind listening to others, you'd better find a quiet place."
In this broad daylight, public space, you act in a grand manner, and you blame others for not being polite, what about your face?
Xie Tingri narrowed his eyes.
It is strange that he can see Xie Tingyue's eyes, but he has a mother in the past. He does n’t need to intervene in many things. They ca n’t see both sides in a year. He never treats Xie Tingyue personally. He thought Xie Tingyue would give him somehow. Some face, respect his brother, who knows that this cheap guy is so surly, and makes him lose face in front of Rouer!
"The teeth are sharp and the woman's posture is no wonder that the mother will let you go out and marry him as a boyfriend," Xie Tingri snorted. "Since you are married, you should IKEA and IKEA. You should be aware of everything and not show up outside. No shame! "
On the day that Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu became married, Xie Tingri did not return, but he could not know who Xie Tingyue's husband was. At present, Xie Tingyue was pushing a wheelchair. A sick man was sitting in the wheelchair. Guessing the identity of the other party, Xie Tingri didn't even look at Chu Mu, and his eyes slipped with contempt, as if someone in a wheelchair was dirty, he looked down on it.
Just when Lu Li was awake, I walked over to meet the two of Chu Mu and saw this scene.
Eyes almost fell out.
The atmosphere was tight, and he couldn't speak easily, only secretly winking with Chu Mu: I said, you brother is afraid that you are not a fool, do you know how to do it on the surface?
Chu Mu's smile was very profound, and he took a look at Xie Tingyue: Madam, I will recognize whoever he is. This man, Mad Dog, has anything to do with me?
Xie Tingyue didn't admit it.
"My brother said," Xie Tingyue looked at Xie Tingri with a smile, "This IKEA room is IKEA. It's well behaved. It's great to want to come to the Li family."
The member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Changfeng, is a clean and honest person, and has a very good reputation. There is an only daughter in the family, who has been married to Xie Tingri.
In saying this, others do n’t understand, but Xie Tingri understands that this is threatening him!
This family relationship is very important, you must not lose it!
Of course, you can't lose face in front of Rouer.
Xie Tingri no longer entangles with Xie Tingyue, and immediately ends the topic quickly, reminding the threat by the way: "While marrying a wife, learn more about three virtues and four virtues, be wise and savvy, and not show off the benefits of tongues outside. go!"
Girl Rou's brow is light, her voice is low and soft, and she is full of posture: "Did I trouble Xie Gongzi ..."
Xie Tingyue: Hehe.
That side of the road pushed Chu Mu downstairs.
Their upper room is on the second floor, and there is a gentle on the side of the stairs, which is convenient for wheelchairs.
The inn is very quiet, almost no sound except rain.
Lu Li stooped slightly and whispered in Chu Mu's ear: "Did you find it?"
Chu Mu's jaw head, eyes narrowed, and quickly swept across the space upstairs and downstairs: "Too quiet."
Man-made silence, no movement can be seen on the bright side, in fact someone seems to be guarding in secret, and--
"No one has been down on the third floor."
Don't talk about people, no sound.
The shopkeeper said before that the rooms were full and there were only two rooms left. Why was there no movement on the entire third floor?
The two got a wink and had ears next to the wall, so it was inconvenient to continue the discussion.
The environment is different. If they do n’t know what they are, what they can do now is to continue to observe and pay attention, and raise their vigilance.
Sitting downstairs for a while, the shopkeeper came out to greet the dishes.
The dishes are simple, but fortunately, the amount is large enough, light and palatable, and filling the stomach is not a problem.
"Well, this unlucky weather, seeing that there is only a little left on the way home, I was stuck!"
The guests at the next table asked for a bowl of wine and frowned.
He had a moustache, and he was standing in his new year, shaking his legs with his arms, and he didn't look very seated.
Sure enough, after a while he talked to Xie Tingyue's side: "How many are foreigners? We are used to eating things here?"
He pointed to a plate of green fruit on the table.
This is the characteristic of Qingxian. The surrounding area is very popular. The taste is a little weird. Many foreigners are not used to it.
Xie Tingyue smiled: "It's fine."
"That's the kind of love, I think a few people are extraordinary, come to our Qingxian at this time, certainly not for fun, right?" Moustache is a familiar, "My surname Yuan, Ming Chengcheng, is a local, if a few Mind, make friends? "
He didn't say that the information was also very obvious. Xie Tingyue had already guessed that he was a local. As for making friends-the other side also said that they look extraordinary.
Xie Tingyue quickly thought that she was so slick and somewhat familiar with her temperament. Looking at the other person's dress, she seemed to be a business person.
Lu Li is an official in the dynasty. His official schedule is not easy to communicate with outsiders. Chu Mu also has his own mystery, and Chu's family is strong, and there are many conveniences to speak out, but he is not particular about his side, but he can also test it by the way.
"Good to say, we are here to do some small business." Xie Tingyue smiled.
Yuan Zhengcheng stroked his palm, his eyes lit up: "It's good to do business, I'm doing business outside! It's no coincidence that you said fate, I didn't expect to stay in the rain, and I can still know my friends!"
Xie Tingyue asked, "I don't know which line your business is doing?"
Yuan Zhengcheng: "We are close to Suzhou and Hangzhou in Qingxian County. We have a lot of production. I do n’t have much capital. I just want to do silkworm business. Rice is also done.
silkworm? So coincident?
Xie Tingyue smiled: "The surname Xie, the second line in the family, there is not much way to come, but also look at it casually, looking for opportunities, but I heard that the quality of silkworm in Qingxian County is very good. If boss Yuan does this business, if he doesn't mind --causal talk?"
"Yes!" Yuan Zhengcheng's eyes were bright. "You're right to find me in this business. Who is familiar with silkworms in Qingxian? You don't want to go to Xiao's house. The scholar is fooling around with his own little lady. How can there be so many ways for us to run outside all year round? That silly scholar will only read dead books. The young lady is delicate and tender. How can you do business? Fortunately, you met me. Otherwise they must have been deceived by this group! "
When Xie Tingyue heard the word "Xiao", his heart jumped.
Last name Xiao.
At home, the debtor is the Xiao family in Qingxian. Does it have anything to do with silly scholars in this population?
He has turned out the deed of that year, and it can be seen that it was established many years ago. The pages are yellow, and the content of the letter is not exhaustive. He only said that the Chu family gave certain shelter each year, and the Xiao family paid according to this. . As for what kind of asylum is, what is the remuneration given, and how to measure it, there is no specific figure, but looking at the current account flow, it was indeed a huge sum.
He asked Chu Mu, and Chu Mu was unknown.
Chu Mu really didn't know. I have been sick in bed in my last life, I did n’t have the energy to pay attention to the things around me, I did n’t marry a wife, and I have never encountered the dilemma. He only knew that after the same point in time, my uncle was slain for official duty, saying it was corruption. bribery. There is no fish in Shuizhiqing. This kind of encounter will be encountered by anyone. He thought that an uncle had offended someone, and someone started it intentionally. But in this life, I have a dilemma, and it is inevitable to open up my mind. Is it ... something related?
"Oh? Xiao family? Is it such a big name, is it great?"
Xie Tingyue seemed to inquire. He was thinking, in Qingxian, what is so special and needs the protection of the Chu family. At that time, what energy did the Chu family cover?
Yuan Zhengcheng spoke very densely, and immediately patted his thigh: "No! This was a bandit before, the least concerned about it, everyone was named Xiao, and now the government is well-managed and honest, there is still a little bit of domineering style, this is it The generation's homeowner is stupid. He can't do anything except read books. He also blindly directs. Recently, I heard that the farmer said that the weather was bad, and people were busy collecting silkworms. The books were not read! The silkworm came out now. It ’s so bad, is n’t he just making a fool! Hey, I ’m still young! I ’m not the same, there is no way I ca n’t find in Qingxian and even Suhang! I do n’t raise silkworms myself, but this one I know all the silkworm farmers in the circle! "
Xie Tingyue smiled, and listened quietly.
This Yuan Zhengcheng is a little bit cunning, hiding something, but this is the character of a businessman and is for business, Xie Tingyue understands.
As for the Xiao family ...
Xie Tingyue also has his own thinking.
The spring flood that happened once in a century will be staged in Qingxian. He is a person who has lived once again and will know that it is normal. However, the scholar of the Xiao family dare to make such a decision based on the words of an old farmer. It is a very idea. People, by no means like Yuan Zhengcheng, are a silly nerd.
"Look for me in the silkworm business, I am the host!"
While talking, another voice came in, and it was Yan Hong.
Yan Hong smiled and sat at the table and looked at Xie Tingyue: "What business Xie Gong wants to do, silk or grass, medicine or cotton, no matter what, I can find it for you!"
He said that he had more confidence than Yuan Zhengcheng, and at the same time, he pointed out that Xie Tingyue was very horrible.
He is from Suzhou and Hangzhou himself. He has a large booth and his sisters ’" Emotional Support ". The influence is not ordinary. Many people who go out know it and give face.
Yuan Zhengcheng also recognized himself. Now he gritted his teeth and said, "Yeah, isn't this Yan Yan, don't you make a fortune outside, come to our little place to grab food?"
Yan Hong Zhengzheng said: "This statement is bad, the number of purchases and sales, and the narrow financial path. Never consider the size of the place. I look at Qingxian very well."
"It's not good to go out of bounds."
"Sale is everyone's trade, and the world is everyone's world.
The two caught on.
At first glance, the peers dismissed each other, and the two had conflicts before.
Xie Tingyue was quiet, and continued to think.
At this time, he also noticed another thing-Xie Tingri and the girl Rou, never went down.
The shopkeeper reminded me before that the meal would be out of date, and the two would not know it. If they do n’t come down, do you want to be hungry?
In some directions, Xie Tingyue is not as sensitive as Chu Mu and Lu Li, and has a slightly slower response. But now, she has also noticed something wrong.
Isn't it ... too quiet?
"boom--"
Lightning accompanied by thunder outside the window smashed over the ground, reflected on the face, full of coercion.
The first spring rain of this year, threatening the wind and the thunder, came fiercely, foreshadowing not only the flood, but also the more dangerous ...
Xie Tingyue caught the knife light from the window!
Danger is approaching.
For a moment, the eyes were so clear that even the noise of Yuan Zhengcheng and Yan Hong was small.
Rather than fighting, they should consider life!
Someone has a sword in hand. It's not as simple as taking it out. Who is the other person's goal? It was him Xie Tingyue, Chu Mu, or Lu Lu!
He didn't have time to remind him that the sound of ‘咻咻’ broke through the air, the cold light approaching with lightning, it was arrow rain!
"hide!"
Xie Tingyue only came and pushed Chu Mu away. He rolled aside and couldn't do anything.
The arrow shot into his clothes, nailed to the floor with his placket.
Fortunately, Chu Mu was okay, Qin Ping responded quickly, immediately pushed away the master, and ran away all the way, throwing aside, all three avoided the arrows.
Helpless arrow rain is too dense, hindering Qin Ping's footsteps, he could not come to help Xie Tingyue.
Chu Mu and Lu Li were in the corner of each person, watching Xie Tingyue very anxious.
"lady!"
"Thank you!"
Xie Tingyue couldn't move. Seeing that the arrows were coming again, all the sweat was coming down, and he tore the corners of the clothes, but the fabric was so strong that he couldn't tear it off.
The arrow is here!
"Mrs ." Chu Mu's eyes were stricken, and the palm of the hand sent out a hidden weapon, but unfortunately could not stop the arrow rain for a moment, but could not stop it forever.
More arrows have arrived!
Xie Tingyue gritted her teeth, and her voice trembled: "Please, please-you rip me open!"
