Chapter 124: A fire breaks out in the courtyard
Lan Fengtian also began to look at this very quiet small garden, the forest is forested, but most of them are more than a hundred years old, the branches and leaves are at least five zhang above the ground, there are not many hiding places, the houses and walls are built very high, even if it is a first-class light skill master, it is difficult to come and go at will, come and go freely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Experienced night walkers would never easily break into such a place. What's more, living here is the world's number one swordsman Xue Yiren.
I found a small door in the corner, and all four walls were covered with half-withered green vines, so that more than half of this door was submerged in the rattans, and it was difficult to find if you didn't pay attention. The iron bolts on the door are rusty, and it looks like they haven't been opened for years, but a closer look reveals that a lot of the rust on the bolts has been scraped to the ground, and the marks are very new.
Chu Liuxiang stopped talking, but kept staring at the lock on the door.
Then he didn't know where he found a very long wire, and gently picked it in the keyhole, only to hear the sound of "grid", and the lock had been opened.
Xue Yi said: "I also know that this kind of lock is definitely not difficult for night walkers with light inspections, but it is just a matter of talking about a gentleman." ”
Lan Feng sneered, Chu Liuxiang pinched Lan Feng's soft smile and said, "It's a pity that there are not many gentlemen in this world, but there are many villains." ”
Xue Yiren also realized that he had lost his words, coughed dryly twice, opened the door first, and said, "Xiangshuai, Lan Yatou, do you want to take a look at the yard next door?" ”
Chu Liuxiang said: "I really have this intention, please ask my seniors to lead the way." He seemed to be very interested in this rusty iron lock, and actually took advantage of Xue Yiren's first walk out of the door, took the sheep by the hand and hid the lock in his arms. Lan Fengtian pretended that he didn't see it, and followed Xue Yiren into the first step.
I saw that the courtyard next door was also very quiet, and the architecture of the house was similar, but the fallen leaves in the courtyard were not swept, and the dust in front of the window stained the paper, which seemed to have an indescribable desolate and desolate meaning.
Xue Yiren's eyes swept over the dust and fallen leaves, and there was an angry look on his face—anyone could tell that this place had not been cleaned for at least three months.
Chu Liuxiang was secretly amused in her heart: it turned out that the slaves in Xuejiazhuang were the same as in other places, and the kung fu was only done in front of the master's eyes.
There was a wind blowing, blowing all over the courtyard and the fallen leaves were flying.
Lan Feng leaned into the fallen leaves and said, "This courtyard is empty?" ”
Xue Yiren coughed twice more and said, "This is the residence of my second brother Xiaoren. ”
Chu Liuxiang said: "What now? ”
Xue Yidao: "Now...... Ahem, my brother has always been informal, that's why people dare to be so presumptuous. ”
This sentence is very skillful, but it says three things.
First, Xue Xiaoren still lives here.
Second, the subordinates didn't take this "Second Master Xue" to heart, so no one cleaned this place.
Thirdly, he also said that the relationship between their brothers is very estranged, and if he often comes here, how dare the people be lazy? How could that door be locked?
Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Xue Erxia is afraid that he rarely lives here recently. ”
Xue Yiren "snorted" and sighed again.
"Hmph" is to express dissatisfaction, but sighing is to express regret.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside, and someone exclaimed, "Fire ...... The horse shed caught fire ......"
Although Xue Yiren was calm, anger still shot out of his eyes, and he sneered: "Okay, good, good, someone came to steal the sword the day before yesterday, someone came to assassinate yesterday, and today someone actually came to set fire, is my Xue Yiren really old?" ”。
Lan Fengtian said softly: "Autumn and winter things are dry, if you are not careful, there will be a firelight, not to mention that the stable is full of straw ......"
In fact, Chu Liuxiang and Lan Fengtian both knew in their hearts whose masterpiece this was—the "Little Fire God" They saw Chu Liuxiang come in for so long and there was no news, how could they be willing to wait outside in peace.
Xue Yiren smiled reluctantly, and before he could finish speaking, suddenly another exclamation and commotion came: "The kitchen is also on fire...... Be careful in the backyard, it's the fire that was set out, chase. ”
The "Little Vulcan" set fire to the original technique was not very clever, but it was still discovered by someone.
Chu Liuxiang sighed secretly, only to see that Xue Yiren's face was completely bloodless, as if he wanted to go out to chase the arsonist in person, and it was inconvenient to leave Chu Liuxiang alone.
Looking over the high wall, you can already see the flickering flames.
Lan Fengtian and Chu Liuxiang exchanged a look, and Lan Fengtian said softly: "Senior, I'll accompany you to take a look."
Chu Liuxiang continued: "Senior, you just go to take care of the fire, and take a stroll here, Xue Erxia may come back by chance, and I can talk to him." ”
Xue Yiren stomped his feet and said, "In that case, the old man will be absent for a while." ”
He took two steps, and suddenly replied: "If there is any rudeness in the younger brother, Xiangshuai doesn't need to be polite to him, just teach him a lesson." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled, smiling mysteriously.
Lan Fengtian followed Xue Yiren and left.
