Chapter 20, Zhong Yulou

Mo asked at the entrance of the town, tied the horse, and waited for about an hour, Feng Jianniang at least rushed back, and the corners of Mo Wen's mouth raised lightly: "Jiao Niang, did you meet them?"

Feng Jianniang turned over and dismounted, nodded and said: "Childe, I have truthfully told Xiao Pingnan about the situation here, they originally planned to enter the town, but now they have changed their route and went straight to the city." ”

Mo Wen took a deep breath: "That's good, this can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Old Man Ling at the beginning." ”

Feng Jianniang led the horse: "Childe, you are waiting for Jiao Niang in the inn, why did you run out." ”

Mo Wen smiled bitterly and said what had just happened: "The shopkeeper kicked me out on the grounds that it was full, it seems that we are going to sleep on the streets today." ”

Feng Jiaoniang was stunned: "How can this be reasonable, I'll go to the store now!"

Mo Wen waved his hand: "Forget it, they are all businessmen, and they are helpless, if it really doesn't work, let's find a sheltered place to rest for the night, and if it doesn't work, let's just rush overnight." ”

Feng Jianniang gave up at this time, looked around and said, "Childe, look over there, is there an earthen house? It seems that it should be uninhabited." ”

Mo Wen followed Feng Jianniang's fingers and looked over: "Heh, there is no endless road, let's go forward and take a look." ”

Feng Jianniang walked quickly, and when she arrived at the door, she found that the iron lock was tied several horizontally and vertically: "Childe, let's leave the horse here and use light skills to go in." ”

Mo Wen sighed slightly: "Jiao Niang, since there is a lock on the door, there should be an owner, let's break in rashly, I'm afraid there will be trouble." ”

Feng Jianniang pursed her lips: "Hey." ”

Just when he was in a dilemma, an old man walked slowly on crutches: "Where did the two of you come from?"

Mo Wen turned his head: "Uncle, I am a foreigner, passing through here, the inn is full, originally saw that the earthen house seems to be uninhabited, so I came to see, and when I saw that the lock on the door should have been inhabited, I did not dare to enter rashly without permission." ”

The old man nodded: "This family originally lived in an old woman, but a few years ago, there was a famine, and the people were gone." ”

Mo Wen was stunned: "Then this lock ......"

"Hey, after the old woman died, this house was left to her descendants, but unfortunately, people went away, and her descendants were only locked but never inhabited. ”

"I see, thank you for telling me!"

Mo Wen arched his hand, led the horse and was about to leave, but the old man spoke again: "This son stays." ”

"What else does the old man command?"

"How dare you, look at the son's gorgeous clothes, he must be the son of a rich and noble family, he didn't dare to speak, but this day is getting late, and there are a lot of strong people in the town, it's really not safe, if you don't dislike it, there are still two empty rooms in the little old man's house......"

Mo asked and was overjoyed: "Can the two of us live in my father-in-law's house?"

"Hehe, the little old man is alone, and he didn't dare to stay as a guest, but the son has a good face, so he spoke rashly. ”

Mo Wen took a step back and arched his hand: "Thank you, uncle, just ask for a place where you can shelter from the wind and rain!"

The old man smiled slightly: "Please come with me, two of you." He flicked his wide sleeves and walked forward.

Mo Wen was about to follow, but Feng Jianniang grabbed Mo Wen, a little hesitant: "Childe, let's hurry overnight, it's almost there." ”

Mo Wen patted the back of her hand: "Jiao Niang, you look at the sky, I'm afraid it's raining at night, let's stay for one night." ”

After speaking, he strode after the old man, and when he arrived at the most remote corner of the town, the old man opened the door: "Childe, please, the two rooms on the east side have been empty, but it is a little messy, Childe, please." ”

Mo Wen walked in: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Mo Wen pushed the door and walked in, the room was already covered with thick side dust, and it seemed that it was already uninhabited, Mo Wen shook his head: "Jiao Niang, I'm really not good at cleaning up the house......"

Feng Jianniang stood at the door for a long time and didn't move, Mo Wen was a little surprised: "Jiao Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Feng Jiaoniang heard the question, came back to her senses, glanced out of the door, walked into the room and cleaned up, half an hour's work was barely able to live in people, Mo Wen leaned back, and muttered: "This old man is kind-hearted." ”

Feng Jianniang cleaned up almost completely, closed the door and sat down at the table, and Mo Wen also sat up: "Jiao Niang, don't you have to clean up the room?"

Feng Jianniang shook her head: "No need, I'll live in one room with my son." ”

Mo was stunned for a moment, frowning: "Jiao Niang, do you have something to hide from me?"

Feng Jianniang raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Wen: "Childe...... I...... I'm just not so sure. ”

Mo Wen stood up and walked to Feng Jianniang's side: "Jiao Niang, what are you not sure about?"

"Childe, that old man is a little weird today. ”

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows: "What's weird?"

"Childe, didn't you see a tattoo on the old man's forearm?"

Mo Wen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really hadn't paid attention to it: "What about the tattoo?"

Feng Jianniang bit her lip: "Childe, I'm not sure, that tattoo seems to have been owned by a mysterious sect in the rivers and lakes more than a hundred years ago." ”

"More than a hundred years ago?"

"Yes, this sect is called Zhong Yulou, the reason why it is said to be mysterious, is only because few people in the rivers and lakes know its existence, and Jiao Niang also occasionally knows some of this sect in an ancient book, and it is also related to Gongzi. ”

Mo Wen felt a little strange in his heart: "Have a relationship with me?"

"Childe, whether you want to admit it or not, the evil king Qin Xiangtian is your father. ”

Mo Wen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, Feng Jianniang said: " Childe, this is also what I saw in ancient books, thirty years ago, the evil king Qin Xiangtian started from scratch, founded the evil king palace, since then there are many disputes with the various sects, this Zhong Yulou is one of them, the evil king at that time the sect was newly established, in urgent need of Liwei, but this Zhong Yulou bore the brunt, the evil king was angry and killed Zhong Li, the owner of the Zhong Yulou, and since then also with the Zhong Yulou to take over the indissoluble enmity, until more than 30 years ago, the Zhong Yulou suddenly disappeared, this is to give up. ”

Mo asked in his heart: "So the old man is from Zhong Yulou?"

Feng Jianniang nodded and shook her head: "Childe, the slave family doesn't know, but it is recorded in ancient books that there will be a lotus flower engraved on the forearm of any disciple of Zhongyulou......

Feng Jianniang didn't say any more, but Mo Wen already knew in her heart: "So, is that old man from Zhong Yulou?"

"Childe, Jiao Niang didn't dare to confirm it, but she just saw a corner, if she could see the whole picture, she would have persuaded Childe to leave!"

Mo asked his head, and after a long time, he said: "Jiao Niang, if the destiny of heaven wants me to die, I have nothing to do." ”

Feng Jianniang bit her lip and said, "Childe, if this old man really wants to be unfavorable to Childe, even if Jiao Niang dies, she will never let this old thief hurt Childe!"
