Chapter I
"But first building ordinary tiles, and then covering them with small pieces of colored tiles, is the ingenuity of the second brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Huang Lu said with a smile.
Huang Xing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "What about Dad?" β
Steward Huang owed: "The old man and the lady are all in the flower hall, the eldest young master, the little young master, Mr. Adam, please." β
He is really a very attentive housekeeper and impeccable. The entire Huang family mansion is a very gorgeous mansion, impeccable. Even Master Huang and Mrs. Huang are impeccable masters. They were majestic and kind, did not despise a wild man of unknown origin like Adam, thoughtfully arranged a guest room for him, and interrogated him a few words before arranging, and the balance was just right. They asked their two sons about what they had seen and heard about the trip, and they asked for warmth, the lord was more serious, and the wife was more loving, both of which were just right.
But Adam always had the feeling that he was stepping into a world made up of wort, and these were fake, deliberately designed backgrounds to fulfill a killing game.
But he doesn't know where the next killing machine will come from.
The guest room arranged for him by the Huang family is good, neat and comfortable, and there is a huge oak tree outside the window, of course, it is the kind that does not use branches and leaves to make terrible knife techniques. There is a nice little garden under the trees, and there are colorful pheasants walking proudly in the garden.
Although this is not a palace, as far as Adam is concerned, it is almost the same.
The dinner served by the servant was a plate of kohlrabi, a plate of cloud tofu, a plate of oyster sauce beef, a plate of chicken, a plate of duck, a bowl of seasonal vegetables and three fresh soups, a bowl of somen noodles under sour pickles, a plate of five-kernel cakes, a plate of candied fruit, and a pot of amber "Co-Glue" wine.
The dishes are not rare in the mountains and seas, but they are clean and well-matched, and the taste and heat are well controlled, and Adam feels that even if it is the palace, it is nothing more than that.
There weren't too many dishes for each dish, because it was just for him to eat. According to the rules of the Huang Mansion, everyone eats and takes it to their own rooms, and rarely sits together unless they have a big banquet. Adam is obviously not qualified to be a "banquet guest".
Adam understood, but also felt lonely.
Fortunately, after dinner, Huang Xing came to see him and asked him, "Is the food still to taste?" β
"It's delicious," Adam finished the whole pot of wine, and his pride and spirit were high, "It's a pity that there is no suitable dessert." β
Huang Xing's eyes flashed with a smile: "How to call a suitable dessert?" β
"Tibetan flower cake." Adam gestured to him, "The bottom is fluffy and soft, and the top is slippery and transparent, and the transparent one hides a piece of sugar inside, and you can see it, and it is made of a very bright color, and the sugar skin is soft, and the sugar heart inside is hard." I sometimes deliberately eat less food and eat it too, especially the piece of sugar. β
Huang Xing's eyes showed a very strange, very strange look: "The cake you said, I have it at home, and I will make it." But what is the name of your hometown and where is it? β
"Wheat Country. It's here to walk north for more than ten days. β
"It's so strange...... Huang Xing lowered his head and thought for a while, "I must go and see it one day." β
And then he was gone.
Before leaving, he told Adam to sleep well, not to worry about him, and not to go to his room to protect him. "I've gone home, and there are a lot of homes and nurseries for me to send." Huang Xing said, "Some of them are indeed my brother's people, and some of them only listen to me. I'll tell them to stand guards. β
Adam had no choice but to go to bed alone.
But Cocull burned his head, and he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, his mind full of yellow black hair, starry eyes, a white neck in the collar, and a smile at the corners of his mouth.
The futon seemed to be roasting him on a red-hot iron plate, and Adam jumped up and slapped his head:
He's stupid!
He doesn't go to Huang Xing's room, but he can go to Huang Lu's room!
Cover your face and spy on Huang Lu, maybe you can pull Huang Lu out of the bed and force him to confess the truth?
He never thought of such a clever plan, and it seems that wine can really inspire people.
Adam said to do it, tear a piece of cloth - uh, the cloth here is the master's quilt blanket or something, how bad it is, weigh it, or pick up the pillow towel on the pillow, even the head and face wrap it to count, take a self-portrait in the mirror, the effect is actually good.
He Shi Shiran went out, stepping lightly on tiptoe to open the evening breeze, the nurses were more dumb than wheat, and he easily bypassed.
In front of it is the door of Huang Lu's house.
Adam paused slightly, and came to his senses a little: after arriving in the world, he encountered the first such life-threatening event, and there was always an indescribable mystery behind it. The core person of such a mysterious event, his door is really so easy to enter?
Adam's footsteps paused slightly, and then moved on.
Whatever!
The wine is still burning in the veins, the starry eyes are still flashing in the mind, the pride is strong, and the sword mountain and the sea of blood are also going.
This time someone stopped him.
Adam wields a knife.
The knife was in mid-air, and it stopped.
Under the blade are the eyes of the stars.
The eyes of the stars seemed to be angry, helpless, laughing, angry, and asking him, "What are you doing?" β
Adam's knife hung down.
Huang Xing turned around and left.
Adam followed, as if there was a thread on his body that held him.
Huang Xing turned around, looked down, and looked at his knife: "This is your knife?" β
Be.
"It's just a hatchet."
Be.
"Can you show me?" Huang Xing stretched out his hand.
The hand is like a slender flower in the night, as if a gust of wind can't withstand it.
Adam shook his head: "The master said that you can't give it to others." After thinking about it, he hurriedly explained, "It's not that I am reluctant to give it to you, I am afraid that I will disobey the master's words, which will be unlucky and cause you to suffer." β
Huang Xing smiled, retracted his hand, and looked at his knife again: "It's like a treasure light restrained, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary firewood knife." β
Adam only Nono agreed.
Huang Xing put his hands behind his back: "You came to stare at my eldest brother, afraid that he would come out and kill me?" β
That's right.
"Not really." Huang Xing sighed, "I thought about it and thought about it, but I always felt impossible. There must be another secret in there that we haven't discovered. It can't be the big brother who killed me-"
He was only halfway through his words, and in Huang Lu's room, someone swept out, and his body was so fast, like a light smoke.
Adam and Huang Xing glanced at each other quickly and followed.
But seeing that Huang Lu was walking like a ghost, bypassing the nursing home outside Huang Xing's house, the light work was so good, Huang Xing and Adam had lost his trace for a while, but he finally appeared in front of Huang Xing's bed.
Raise the knife and slash downwards at the neck of the person on the bed.
Luckily, there was no one on the bed at all.
Huang Xing followed Adam out, and the quilt on the bed was rolled up, as if someone was there.
Huang Lu's knife slashed into the air.
And Adam was already shouting: "Kill! Someone killed the little master! The guards outside had been warned by Huang Xing, and they raised their vigilance, and they all rushed over, and the light of the torches shone into the room like lightning.
This is called inviting the king into the urn and catching the traitor in bed.
The strange thing is that the traitor has been caught, but Huang Xing suddenly grabbed Adam's wrist and ran away.
If the wheat dared to grab Adam's wrists like this, Adam had a hundred ways to avoid them and cut off their wrists.
Huang Xing's kung fu is really not very clever.
But when he grabbed it like this, Adam just couldn't avoid it.
Because he is Huang Xing.
The brine points to the tofu, one thing and one thing, and Dang doesn't know why he can't take Huang Xing.
Huang Xing pulled Adam to the corner and asked, "I didn't dream, did I?" β
No, my wrist hurts...... It hurts a little bit.
"But it can't be!" Huang Xing shook his head, "Big brother doesn't have any reason to kill me!" I didn't dare to go over, I didn't dare to ask him why! β
Adam sighed and said softly: "I shouldn't say this, but maybe your eldest brother was not born to your parents, so you are qualified to inherit the family business, and he knows about it, so he wants to kill you." β
He guessed very reasonably, but Huang Xing shook his head vigorously: "Impossible! No way! β
Adam was a little angry: "Why? β
"Because I'm a girl." Huang Xing said word for word, "I was raised as a boy since I was a child, but it is impossible to inherit the family business by crossing the eldest brother." My parents wanted a boy to inherit it. β
Dang looked at Huang Xing, looked at his eyes, his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to untie the crown of his hair.
Huang Xing's feet moved, as if he wanted to escape, but he stopped.
It's as if for him, Adam also has some kind of magic in him, as long as Adam stretches out his hand, he can't avoid it.
The mountains and rivers are far away, the clouds break through the moon, and how to avoid each other.
The hair crown was untied, the black hair was scattered again, and Huang Xing stood slender in the night, like a month and a catastrophe agreed in the previous life and the next life.
The birds on the branches fluttered their wings, and the sound in the courtyard became louder, and suddenly it was quiet again.
At the loudest sound, there was a voice inside that said, "It's good that the master is hereβ"
Huang Xing hurriedly took a step back, turned around, and swept towards the courtyard.
It's her family, her life, she has to face.
Adam stayed for a while before catching up, only to see that Huang Lu had been tied up with five flowers, and Master Huang looked up to the sky and sighed: "What a sin!" What a wickedness! Unfortunately for the Huang family, the eldest son was possessed by a monster! β
If it weren't for the demon possession, how could a young prince who has always been humble kill his younger brother who has always been too late to protect, and if he didn't succeed once, he would come again?
Mrs. Huang began to cry: "I don't know...... It's all my ......."
is really a kind woman, when something happens, she always blames herself first.
Master Huang asked, "Is there a Taoist priest nearby who can exorcise demons?" β
Steward Zhuo immediately stepped forward: "The villain will go and invite immediately." "The voice was also heavy.
And then they all left.
Only some of the torch-bearers and Huang Xing remained. Huang Xing looked back at Adam, his face was very strange, and his lips moved, as if he had something to say.
"Little young master," Steward Huang turned back, humbly and solemnly, "Master, please go." β
Huang Xing closed his lips and left.
"Mr. Dang," a girl saluted Adam politely, "go and rest!" β
Adam returned to her room, but couldn't sleep.
He was a little tired, but he was no more tired than cutting a handful of wheat in the "wheat village". And the futon seems to be hotter than before. He was like a piece of bread that couldn't be baked no matter how it was baked, and it couldn't be turned properly when it was turned over and over.
He thought about Huang Xing's face when he turned his head, the lips that moved and closed.
Obviously, Huang Lu has been arrested and the truth has been revealed, how can they seem to be further apart than before.
It would be nice if Huang Xing was in front of him now, Adam thought, he would ask her-
There was a soft sound above, and a few tiles were turned over, and star-like eyes appeared there. She whispered to him, "Adam? β
"Wake up!" He happily called her.
She froze and smiled. The smile stretched and retracted. She beckoned to him and beckoned him to come up.
He hurried up the eaves.
The crimson sand were like blood and ice in the moonlight. Adam urged: "Are you good to talk about now?" β
"What?" Huang Xing was stunned.
"What do you have to say to me before the butler tells you to leave?" Adam reminded.
"Oh, yes, thenβ" Huang Xing said, "I want to tell you, I always pretend to be a man, because when I was a child, a fortune teller said that I would fall while dressing up, and the hairpin would stick in my eyes and die." That's why my parents didn't give me the opportunity to make up and use hairpins. β
It seems to be the truth, but it seems to be hiding something. Adam looked her in the eye, and she turned her head away. It's so close! The wind ruffled her hair and could reach his cheeks. But it's so far away, I can't touch anything I want to touch. Such as thousands of rivers and mountains, thousands of rivers and mountains.
"You said you asked people for directions, but they misheard." Huang Xing turned his back to him and asked, "What do you actually want to ask?" β
"Tide Valley." Adam Dao.
"What do you do when you find it?" Huang Xing asked.
ββ¦β¦ Capture the valley lord and bring him back, and if you can't do that, kill him and bring back his blood. Adam recited.
He recited as calmly as he could, but the resentment of the master when he commanded him finally infected him, and this resentment came out of the repeated words, like a poisonous spell handed by a ghost in the underworld.
Huang Xing shuddered: "When it dawns, you can leave." She seemed to be afraid of Adam's questioning, and said quickly, "Your business is very important, don't delay with us any longer." I'll pick you a good horse to send you away, and you'll have to promise meβ" Biting his lip, "you can ask anyone for directions, but don't mention the name of this valley in front of my family." β
"Why?" Adam had to ask.
"Because my family hates things like gods and ghosts," Huang Xing seemed to be ready to answer, and said faster, "That Gu sounds mysterious, I ...... I don't want you to be hated by my father. β
When it comes to the last sentence, it reveals sincerity. Her face quickly turned red and she sped away.
Adam stood for a long time in the direction she was leaving.
Maybe she'll come back and say another word to him?
That sentence must have been worth the night's wait.
But she didn't answer again, and Adam saw the sword.
A knife is brighter than lightning.
Adam's figure suddenly disappeared from under the eaves. He rushed in the direction of the knife, faster than lightning, but he was still too slow, afraid that he would be too late to save it.
Huang Xing dodged under the knife.
When she fell from the mountain peak, when she reached out to grab Adam's hand, her kung fu was not very good, but in just a few hours, she seemed to be under the touch of a ghost, and her steps were as light as a cloud, and she avoided several times under the knife of lightning.
