Chapter 101: Rejection

How should Xiao Fengnan's behavior be evaluated?

I like to draw women, and it seems that it doesn't hurt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info like to sneak into people's boudoirs at night, and do nothing just to paint women, which is shameless and perverted. But even when people were bathing, he dared to peep secretly and draw it, and Hua Lianyue basically judged that he was simply looking for death.

Hua Lianyue thought gloatingly as she looked at the half-drawn bath picture in her hand.

In fact, the woman in the painting only shows a curvaceous back and half a soft side face. Her black hair was messy on top of her head, and only a few long, mischievous strands of hair were wet on the side of her neck. She lifted her jade arm lightly and picked up a large handful of water splashes, and countless water droplets fell into the sparkling water like raindrops.

Beside her was a large bush of blooming wild roses, their petals blooming softly in the moonlight. Through the picture scroll, Hua Liyue seems to be able to smell the fragrant fragrance of flowers.

It was supposed to be a very beautiful, very seductive scene. The scar on the beauty's back that almost split her in half from top to bottom adds a bit of hideousness to this extremely beautiful picture.

It was this shocking scar that made Hua Lianyue recognize the identity of the woman in the painting, who was the only female shopkeeper in the six doors, Yin Che.

Hua Lianyue still remembered the origin of the scar on Yin Che's body, which was left when she hunted down the five ghosts in Pengcheng, and she almost lost her life in Pengcheng that time.

Fortunately, Hua Lianyue and her father Liu Yiliang happened to be guests in Pengcheng at that time, and the owner of the family had received the favor of Yin Che's father, so he begged Liu Yiliang to come to the rescue. It was also at that time that Hua Lianyue and Yin Che met, and naturally knew everything about the scar on her body.

Suddenly, Hua Lianyue's heart moved, and she asked: "No, you said that she chased and killed you all night that day, why did she stand opposite you and talk to you in the Merlin today, but she didn't recognize you?"

Xiao Fengnan was stunned for a moment, when he was in Meilin during the day, he didn't recognize Yin Chelai for a while. It was only after the fact that he suddenly remembered that she was the woman who was so fierce.

So he said with some uncertainty: "It was the dead of night at that time, although she chased me for half the night, but because of the distance, I didn't dare to look back, and she didn't see me clearly." ”

What would happen if Yin Che knew that it was Xiao Fengnan who peeked at himself bathing that night? Hua Lianyue made up one hundred and eight ways to die in Xiao Fengnan's brain, and all of them were extremely miserable.

After a shudder, Hua Lianyue rolled up Yin Che's portrait, put it in her sleeve pocket, and said without refusal: "This one will be given to me, lest you take it, and it will lead to death in the future." ”

Xiao Fengnan smiled and didn't make a sound. After he saw that Hua Liyue had put away Yin Che's picture scroll, he rummaged through the pile of picture scrolls like a mountain. Her hair is messy, the corners of her mouth are tightly pursed, her eyes are focused and stubborn, and she swears not to give up until she achieves her goal.

Xiao Fengnan hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and walked away. He opened a large mahogany chest in the corner of the room, and there was a box of picture scrolls inside, and he pulled out a scroll from it. walked up to Hua Lianyue and handed it over: "Are you looking for this?"

Hua Lianyue was turning her head over and was about to bury herself in the pile of paintings, and when she heard the words, she raised her face suddenly. She snatched the scroll from his hand and opened it without saying a word.

After just one glance, she jumped off the bed and said with a solemn expression: "I don't know and don't want to care about the others, but if this pair is accidentally spread, it will kill people, and it must be burned." As she spoke, she had already hurried to the menorah, and she drew the scroll in her hand close to the flickering orange flame......

"Is Brother Xiao here?"

As soon as the tongue of fire licked the scroll, the door was pushed open with a creak. Chu Yun helped the pale Li Ruolan to stand at the door of the house. A bitter cold wind rushed in, and the scorching flames that rose up swayed and licked towards Hua Liyue's fingers.

Hua Lianyue screamed in surprise, and in a panic, she threw the half-burned scroll to the ground. Xiao Fengnan, who was sitting lazily on the bed and didn't move, stood up suddenly, he stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Is it hot?"

"It's not burned. Hua Lianyue shook off his hand and said, "You stay away from me." ”

Xiao Fengnan knew that he was not being welcomed at the moment, and he was not angry, so he had to say angrily: "I have here the scalding cream made by the wise master, but do you want to use some?"

Hua Lianyue rolled her eyes and said, "I don't need to." "This guy is both good and evil, and his hobbies are so weird and unique, it's better to have less contact.

She secretly hid her hot fingers in the palm of her hand, walked quickly to Li Ruolan, and complained in a low voice: "Sister Ruolan, why don't you rest well, and get up and walk around again." ”

Chu Yun explained: "Madame couldn't sleep at all because she was worried about the young master's safety. Master Wise has been messy and has no time to take care of us, so we want to come to this Brother Xiao to discuss it, and see if there are other ways to think of it. ”

Li Ruolan glanced at the bathtub in the room, which was almost hot, and there were wet water stains all over the floor. In addition, Xiao Fengnan, who was disheveled, had a red and pink face, and her hair was slightly messy.

Such an ambiguous scene that is easy to make people think of is wrong, which makes Li Ruolan's eyes flash a hint of discoloration. She lowered her eyes and said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that the door was not tethered, and Chu Yun opened it with a light knock, causing you to almost burn." ”

"No, no, they all said it wasn't hot. Hua Lianyue said with a haha.

At this moment, a few more beast howls were faintly heard from nowhere. Li Ruolan shuddered, and she couldn't care about the abruptness, she moved lightly, came to Xiao Fengnan, and begged: "Xiao Zhuangshi, you have always been chivalrous and courageous, can you help me go outside the temple to find the whereabouts of the jade book again, after all, he is just a child, if there are three long and two short, I really can't explain to the master." If Xiao Zhuangshi can help find him, my lord will definitely pay him a lot of money. ”

Xiao Fengnan had already returned to his previous indifference, he sat at the table, lifted the brown crockpot on the table and poured a bowl of cold water for himself, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he said lightly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mrs. Yan, and I can't afford to have such a reputation as chivalry." As for what kind of heavy reward, it has to be spent on life. Now the beasts on the mountain are a little unusual, and even I dare not rashly go out of the mountain gate at night. If there is anything, please ask Mrs. Yan to discuss it with Master Wise and Master Huo tomorrow!"

He refused without hesitation!

Although Li Ruolan knew that her request was too much, for the last glimmer of hope, she still turned her eyes for help to Hua Lianyue.

Under Li Ruolan's earnest gaze, Hua Lianyue hesitated. She knew how important Yan Yushu was to Li Ruolan, and she also knew that if it was a night, Yan Yushu's chances of survival would become more and more slim.

But she also knew how vicious and terrifying those wolves were in the snow. What's more, the night is dark now, and I don't know how many hungry beasts are snooping outside the temple. She has no right to force Xiao Fengnan to take risks again for the sake of Li Ruolan.

What's more, in the afternoon, the monks of the entire monastery followed her, almost searched the mountain, and did not find Yan Yushu's whereabouts. Hua Lianyue now seriously suspected that Yan Yushu should be with Yin Che, after all, the time of their disappearance was so close. Unfortunately, this is just her conjecture, and there is no solid evidence to prove it.

There was silence in the room, save for the occasional crackling sound of burning candles. Li Ruolan lowered her eyes and happened to see a small section of the picture scroll burned at Xiao Fengnan's feet. The rest of the scroll has turned to black ash and is almost muddy when it is soaked with water. On the remaining paper stick, the woman's face is still faintly visible, her starry eyes are slightly closed, and there is a little rouge mole on her eyebrows.

Li Ruolan was slightly stunned, and in an instant she seemed to hear her heartbeat intensifying. At this time, Xiao Fengnan's feet inadvertently moved, and just stepped on the paper stick, and the face of the woman in the painting immediately turned into a ball of sludge. She clenched her fists quietly, sharp nails almost piercing her palms.

Li Ruolan raised her eyes and stared straight at Xiao Fengnan, who looked indifferent, and the only remaining luck in her heart gradually disappeared. She looked sad and said, "I remember that five years ago, Xiao Zhuangshi was just a thin boy, but he was not afraid of life and death and saved my life from the wolf's mouth. Unexpectedly, five years later, that hot-blooded teenager became so ruthless. ”

Xiao Fengnan's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he seemed to touch a distant memory. He paused again, and then said, "It turned out to be you, the little girl who was chasing the phoenix tail butterfly." ”

Five years ago, Li Ruolan was only twelve or thirteen years old, isn't she just a little girl!

Hua Lianyue, who was silent on the side, moved in her heart, and also remembered the past incident that Xiao Fengnan mentioned on the cliff before. Unexpectedly, what he saved from the wolf's mouth was actually Li Ruolan.

"Yes, that girl was me back then!" Li Ruolan spoke, her voice seemed to tremble slightly. She smiled sadly and said, "I have never forgotten your life-saving grace, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity to thank you in person." ”

Indeed, in those years, Master Minghui liked to take him to travel all over the world, and it was rare to have the opportunity to return to the temple all year round. Li Ruolan couldn't wait for him to come back in the temple every day, so naturally there was no chance to see him again.

Li Ruolan looked straight into his eyes and said, "You helped me before, can you help me again now?" No matter what you ask in the future, neither the Yan family nor the Li family will refuse. ”

You must know that Li Ruolan's identity is the high-ranking prefect's wife and the eldest lady of the Li family on the rich side. Her promise is a symbol of endless power and wealth.

Hua Lianyue's heart jumped, and she secretly screamed badly. If Li Ruolan asks for good words, Xiao Fengnan may be soft-hearted for a while, so she will agree. But she used wealth and power to lure her, but she was afraid that it would backfire.

Sure enough, Xiao Fengnan smiled contemptuously, and said extremely coldly: "Mrs. Yan should know that she doesn't owe you anything." What Mrs. Yan promised, I am not interested in. He flatly refused.

Li Ruolan smiled bitterly, and two lines of tears gradually flowed out of her charming eyes. She suddenly raised her hand, wanting to give Xiao Fengnan a resounding slap. Her fingertips hadn't even touched his cheek, but he grabbed him sharply. His thick eyebrows frowned, and his eyes flashed with deep disgust: "Mrs. Yan, this move is too much!"

The tears on Li Ruolan's face fell like rain, as if she had been greatly wronged. Now even Hua Liyue felt that something was wrong with her. In her memory, Li Ruolan has always been gentle and lovely, and she has never been so strong.

"You bastard who can't save you......" Li Ruolan broke free from his confinement and rushed out of the door in embarrassment.

"Madam......" Chu Yun, who was also stunned, hurriedly chased out.

Li Ruolan ran lifelessly in front of her skirt, she just wanted to find a place where no one was there and lick her wounds alone.

At this time, who can understand her bitterness.

At that time, she was only twelve years old, and she went with her mother to the Fahua Temple to burn incense. I remember that the weather was excellent that day, with gorgeous wildflowers, colorful butterflies, birdsong and mountain springs everywhere.

When her mother entered the temple hall, she was attracted by a phoenix butterfly with black wings covered with golden patterns. She chased it all the way out of the temple gate and into the forest behind. The forest was quiet, full of large clumps of red wildflowers, and countless phoenix butterflies danced around them.

Butterflies and flowers have always been the little girl's favorite. At that time, she was full of joy and threw herself among the flowers, smelling this one, touching that one, and almost flew with joy. Unaware of it, a 'dog' with a tail between her legs quietly followed her, a pair of green eyes staring at her closely.

By the time she found it, the 'dog' was less than three paces away from her. "Dog, where did you come from? But you're hungry?" she was so innocent that she untied her purse from her waist and took out a piece of Poria cake and threw it to her.

Unfortunately, the 'dog' didn't seem to be interested in her poria cake, and it only touched it lightly with its nose and then ignored it, its dark eyes always swirling on her.

The girl has a natural love for furry animals, and even though the 'dog' in front of her looks a little ugly, she reaches out and tries to touch its head.

"Stupid, it's a wolf, not a dog. At that moment, he jumped down from the tree like a fairy and landed in front of her. No matter how ignorant the little girl is, she can tell the difference between a wolf and a dog. She was frightened, and hid behind him tremblingly, pulling at his belt and not daring to make a sound.

At that time, he was just hiding in the woods and resting, and he had no weapons in his hands. He could only pick a twig and wave it in an attempt to scare off the lone wolf that appeared out of nowhere.

At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was much taller than her. She hid behind him and listened to his shouting, and for some reason, felt unusually relieved. For some reason, she was sure that she would not be hurt if she had him.
