The Xiao family's mansion under the moonlight looks a little bleak, the previous head of the family has just died, the actual controller behind it has been reduced to a prisoner, and the new owner is resolute and tough. The people in the mansion were all huddled in the house, and it was night, and no one was walking outside.

The heavy eaves are layered on top of each other, blending deep and shallow into the night, and in the end, only a strong silhouette remains.

Xiao Shiyu stood by a lake, the weeping willows on the shore of the lake were lightly fluttering, swaying from time to time with the night wind.

On the shore of the lake is the most secluded and exquisite courtyard of the mansion, where countless generations of Xiao family heads once lived.

The main house in the courtyard is where Chu Xiaoyue recuperates, since Xiao Shiyu returned strongly, he has placed Chu Xiaoyue here without question, even if Xiao Baiqiao knocked on the side and mentioned the irregularities several times, he turned a deaf ear.

"Still not sleeping so late?"

The girl was wearing a long dress made of flint silk, with a soft white cloak and a fur collar tudded around her white chin, which looked very cute.

Xiao Shiyu turned to see her coming over, his eyes lit up, and then he frowned, "It's not good yet, why did you run out by yourself?"

"I thought that someone who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran outside my door to stand up for midnight, waiting for me. ”

The corners of Chu Xiaoyue's mouth were curled, and she looked at him teasingly with her eyes, smiling like a little fox who had only eaten sweet grapes.

The boy didn't take her at all.

"I've just recovered, so don't blow the wind and go in and talk. ”

"Don't, don't. Chu Xiaoyue hurriedly waved her hand, "I've been lying down for several days, my neck is about to be broken, and there is no wind here, I want to breathe!"

Seeing the young man's obviously disapproving look, the girl hurriedly said, "It's really okay, this wound looks serious, in fact, it's all bluffing, I've slept for so long, and I don't know how much I have taken the elixir, I'll be fine for a long time, this will be completely okay to go up the mountain to fight the tiger." ”

Xiao Shiyu's eyes were bright, and the three big words "Are you sure?" were written.

Chu Xiaoyue nodded heavily, and stretched out a small arm, bent it, and put on a very powerful posture.

"You. He shook his head with a smile, pulled down her arm, straightened the cloak again, patted the stone bench beside him, and said, "Then sit down for a while." ”

The girl jumped up with joy, and was startled to see the boy, and saw her come in two steps, and sat down on the stone bench, which was a little high, and she had her hands on the side of the stone bench, and her two calves dangled back and forth.

The moonlight was soft, and the two of them sat quietly by the lake, neither of them spoke, as if they were thinking about something.

Chu Xiaoyue looked at this lake, and remembered that she used to be by the small lake behind the dormitory area of Tongtian Academy, and she also teased Xiao Shiyu in a wicked way.

Before you know it, it seems like a long time has passed.

The boy has grown up, experienced life and death, walked through grievances, and became more calm.

The sun rises and the moon sets, spring goes to autumn.

It seems that thousands of years have passed like this, and in this land, generations of people have been born and died, and the years have never shown mercy to anyone.

In the middle of the night, Chu Xiaoyue took out a small wine bottle the size of a small arm and touched Xiao Shiyu's arm.

"Would you like a drink?"

The boy took it, uncorked the bottle, and a mellow smell of wine came out at once.

The spicy liquor slid down his throat, and the cavity was scorching.

It was the first time he had drunk alcohol, and the smell of alcohol made his eyes hot.

It took him a while to swallow the hot mouthful.

"Xiao Shiyu, are you unhappy?"

The girl's voice was soft, like a breeze blowing through his heart.

"No, you're getting better, I'm happy. ”

The girl smiled, and two small pear vortices loomed.

The boy reached out a hand and gently rubbed the top of her hair.

Chu Xiaoyue looked at him in a crisp black robe, simple but dignified, which well highlighted his good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, which was extraordinary at first glance.

"You're pretty handsome. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, his ears were red, and he turned around a little uncomfortably, and then he didn't know what he remembered, and poured another sip of wine.

"Your jade pendant is also very good. ”

The jade pendant is black jade, with a complex Xiao character engraved on it, and gorgeous animal-shaped characters carved around it.

The young man paused and laughed, "My jade crown is pretty good, too." ”

Chu Xiaoyue looked at his head, the delicate jade crown tied up his black hair, a simple and atmospheric style, he was still very imposing when he wore the college robe before, but now with this gorgeous jade dress, it is a little more concise and less valuable.

This jade crown was given to him by her, and he has been wearing it for so many years.

Chu Xiaoyue said with a smile, "That is, you are up and down, or this jade crown is the best-looking." ”

The boy smiled and said, "I think so." ”

The night breeze blows with the cool smell of water and the fragrance of plants and trees.

Chu Xiaoyue slowly faded her smile, was silent for a long time, and said, "You know what I want to say, right." ”

The black costume, the jade pendant of Xiao Zi, what else can't she see......

It's just that she doesn't know how far he's gone during the time she's been in a coma.

Have you successfully returned to the clan?

Did you kill Zhao Pinsheng?

Got stuck in the way?

Did you get what you wanted......

Chu Xiaoyue looked at him, and the young man's eyes looked at the weeping willows by the lake in the distance, with a gloomy expression.

"I killed Xiao Jinqing. ”

"Oh, Xiao Jinqing, he is Zhao Pinsheng's son, and it is really a big trouble to keep him. The girl thought for a moment and whispered.

"yes...... He is the son of Zhao Pinsheng. Xiao Shiyu's voice seemed to come from the sky.

"He is the son of Zhao Pinsheng and the son of my aunt, and he has the blood of the Xiao family......"

His last blood relative in this world was killed by his own hands.

Chu Xiaoyue opened her mouth, wanting to comfort him with something, but she was still speechless.

"Heh......" Xiao Shiyu chuckled lightly and raised his head to take a big sip of wine.

The hot liquor slashed down his throat like a big hand, grabbing his neck.

One loved one kills another, and in order to avenge his loved one, he kills other relatives.

This blood-stained knot can only be untied until the last person remains.

No, it can't be unraveled.

This dead knot will always remain there, in the bottom of the young man's heart, with scars, imprints, and the word pain written crookedly.

She looked at the young man with a deep distress in her eyes.

"Do you regret it?"

Do you regret your revenge?

Do you regret killing Xiao Jinqing?

No.

He has no regrets.

Thinking of Xiao Jinqing's cowardly and vicious face, he gritted his teeth hatefully.

Xiao Jinqing has been the head of the family for nearly three hundred years, but he doesn't want to carry forward the Xiao family, ignoring the family's bloodline, allowing Zhao Pinsheng to mutilate the descendants of the family, slaughter the elders of the Xiao family, exclude dissidents, and suppress the clansmen. Although he didn't do it himself, as the nominal head of the family, he was so tolerant and conniving, he was acting for the tiger......"
