(213), nocturnal travel under the moon

The position of the moon represents a certain period of time, and it is also the reason why Mo Ye watched the moon this time, but when she looked up, she saw that under the silver glow of the rising moon, a black figure quickly swept over the wall of the old mansion, and Mo Ye's heart couldn't help but shrink for a moment.

She didn't think that the black shadow that was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the shape might just be a startled cat, because even the images captured in that moment alone were enough to see that it had erect limbs, and a set of night walking clothes that were taut on the body because of the fine and tough weaving characteristics, although black, could refract a slightly cool moonlight from a certain declination angle in the process of moving.

It may be that before coming to Kyoto, Master had told her some words and revealed some secrets that she had never mentioned before, so that since she came to Kyoto, she has been vigilant consciously or unconsciously. So the first time she saw this unnamed night walker breaking into the old mansion, she could easily feel fear in her heart.

However, when Mo Ye's gaze went beyond the change in mood and naturally followed the moving figure, the figure suddenly squatted on the tile ridge of the kitchen, and the jar covered with rope nets in his hand caught her attention, and after looking closely, she quickly calmed down.

The night walker on the tile ridge also found Mo Ye, but he still didn't move, if it wasn't for Mo Ye finding him at the beginning, his eyes followed here, his motionless black figure could almost merge with the gray roof tiles, making it difficult to detect.

In fact, Mo Ye saw that the night pedestrian was the result of a mistake. Fortunately, the reason why pedestrians were going high on the courtyard wall of the old mansion at night was not to rob the house, so Mo Ye's accidental collision was not dangerous.

The things that the Night Walkers were carrying also made Mo Ye roughly guess the purpose of his trip. At a time similar to yesterday, there was a person who had made a leap of kung fu, but who was carrying a big burden in his hand; Judging by what his gaze is pointing at, he should have discovered himself. However, he didn't make any next move, as if he was waiting for someone, which already showed a thing.

"That big brother on the roof of the kitchen, you have something to bring...... Younger brother? Mo Ye took the initiative to ask.

Although there is the exercise of academy life, as long as he is mentally prepared, Mo Ye's ability to speak is still very strong. But today, after all, she is facing others in this way, and this person probably already knows her identity, but she doesn't know anything about the other party. Such a confrontation had to make her jealous when she spoke.

In fact, the man squatting on the roof was also hesitating. It seems that the person he is waiting for is not at home, and there are only two people in this house, one old and one young. For those who don't know martial arts, the rhythm of their breathing and the severity of their footsteps can be perceived and distinguished in the eyes of him, a nocturnal master, in the confines of this simple old mansion.

But the most obvious thing is that he has been squatting on this roof for a long time, and there is no movement in the house. At this time yesterday, he had just landed on the kitchen ridge when someone in the house noticed and rushed out.

When the night walker heard what Mo Ye said, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he still didn't move.

Even if Mo Ye's words indicated his location, it didn't look like he was guessing; Even if he did bring something. The large jar he was carrying in his hand was indeed a decoction for the young man with eyes as bright as stars under the house. But among the four people in this old mansion, he only recognized one as the successor.

Mo Ye saw that he was unmoved, and she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, but she was at least sure of one thing because of this sentence, that is, this night walker was really here to deliver things, and he was also a person who had to deliver things.

Such a person is not an enemy and does not pose a threat to himself, but he cannot be considered a friend of himself at all. However, as long as they are not enemies, the relationship between friends can be cultivated slowly. One of the big points now is not to let the conversation cool down. Even if it's just yourself at this time, the other party listens.

"Oh...... The uncle on the roof, just now the younger brother crossed the seniority...... "Mo Ye reopened the conversation, and regardless of right or wrong, he held up the other party's seniority. The tone became playful.

Sometimes there are only two ways to pry open a smother's mouth, to insult one's dignity and honor, or to elevate others at the expense of one's own honor. Obviously, the latter is a more friendly way, and in the face of non-hostile people, Mo Ye will not choose the former anyway.

"Did you give me that thing in your hand like it did last night?" Mo Ye spoke again, in addition to the change in title, the expression of the meaning of the second half of the sentence was more detailed, and on the whole, it was actually a repeat of the sentence he said when he first spoke.

The words had already been said very clearly, and Mo Ye had said it twice, if it weren't for the night walker who had determined that the person who took over could only be that person, he might have decisively handed over the things in his hand to the young man under the house.

However, it is precisely because of his strict observance of the orders of his superiors that he has been able to maintain a record of not making a single mistake in the tasks he has carried out in the past five years, and he will not change the orders he believes in the slightest today. Although the young man's identity is special and his personality is smart and calm, he has a good impression in his heart.

The order wouldn't change, but the kindness made the Night Walker take a step back. He slipped off the ridge of tiles, and at the moment when his toes were in the air, his body somersaulted, like a swallow hiding from the rain into a wooden beam under the eaves, and then stretched out his hand and hooked it towards Mo Ye.

Mo Ye was surprised by the skill of the night walker, and when he saw his gesture in a daze, he was happy again. Although he didn't speak, he was able to allow and actively cooperate to shorten the distance between the two, which was already a kind of communication progress.

Mo Ye walked quickly to the eaves and raised his head slightly. Because of the distance, she could finally see the face of the night walker, but this vision was only limited to the upper half of the face, but this already made Mo Ye feel very good.

The night walker had quiet eyes, overturned with a pair of bushy eyebrows, and the bridge of his nose was high, half obscured by a black cloth covering his face. Mo Ye tried to simulate his lips with the outline embodied on the masked black cloth, and faintly felt that this person had a tough face, even if it was very different from the group of literati in the academy who recited classics day and night, it would not be as demonized as the legendary night walker.

"You are staring at me like this, your eyes are motionless, but your eyes are not stagnant, do you want to see my appearance by looking at me?"

The night walker who stepped on the beam and held the wall suddenly spoke, and an unfamiliar voice with sand came, which frightened Mo Ye's heart.

Mo Yegan laughed twice, pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard a "bang" from the front yard, as if the gate was suddenly pushed open. It may be that the force of pushing the door is too great, and the sound of the door hitting the courtyard wall and being bounced back soon came from the front yard.

This change made Mo Ye swallow back the words that he was about to speak. Her eyes naturally looked in the direction of the front yard, and her feet moved slightly, wanting to go to the front yard, but she was hesitating.

"The other two people in your family are back." The night walker on the beam seemed to see Mo Ye's worries and concerns, and actually took the initiative to speak, but his brief words could really directly solve Mo Ye's heart disease at this time.

Mo Ye's slightly outward footsteps moved back after the night walker's words fell, she looked up at Fang Liang again, and asked curiously: "This uncle, do people who practice martial arts have this kind of ability?" ”

The Night Walkers hesitated for a moment and did not answer the question, but said calmly, "Please call your master here." ”

After thinking for a moment, he still explained: "Originally, the things I brought could only be handed over to Jiang Chao, but he was drunk today, and I can only entrust the other three people in this house to your master." ”

The night walker's first sentence had a tone that could not be questioned, but because of the explanation in the later sentence, the momentum in the previous sentence was weakened a lot, so Mo Ye couldn't help but say a question that he had been questioning in his heart since just now.

"Shouldn't this thing have been given to me in the end? Why can't you just give it to me? Mo Ye paused for a moment and then added emphatically: "If neither my master nor Uncle Jiang are at home today, or one day in the future, won't you change this practice?" ”

The night walker's gaze was calm and calm, he didn't speak again, but when he saw that Mo Ye was still standing in place waiting for his answer, he raised one hand, stretched out two fingers, and swung left and right in the air.

He seemed to be saying that he would not answer Mo Ye's question, but associating his eyes with his movements seemed to be denying something.

Seeing this, Mo Ye had to sigh softly, and without saying anything more, he trotted to the front yard as he said. She didn't see it, and when the night walker who was bent over the beam looked at her back, his dark eyebrows raised, and he looked helpless.

Walking into the back door of the house, through the hall to the front yard, Mo Ye felt a strong smell of wine coming to his face, and then saw Lin Shan helping Jiang Chao, who was walking and shaking, into the room next to the right hand side of the main house, Qu Xia holding the lamp on the side.

Then there was the sound of Jiang Chao's body falling heavily on the bed, because the words of the night walker just now had a bottom, so it was not difficult for Mo Ye to guess that the practice of hitting the bed with his body was caused by his uncontrollable behavior after being drunk.

After Lin Shan let Jiang Chao go to bed, he quickly left the house, and the matter of taking care of the drunk man had been taken care of by Qu Xia. The more he went to the back, the harder Jiang Chao's wine strength became, and the heavier the person became, until he dragged him home, Lin Shan, who had run a few places in the afternoon and met a few friends, already felt a little tired.

Lin Shan, who came out of the house, saw Mo Ye staring at him, thinking that she was going to talk about drinking again, so he said one step in advance: "He is the one who drank this time, but I only drank three or two cups today, which is not counted." ”

Mo Ye didn't expect the master to come back, and the first thing he said to himself was this. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood why he said this, and couldn't help but giggle.

Lin Shan saw Mo Ye smiling happily, and then he felt as if he was a little too worried, so he argued: "You look at me, there is something in your eyes, aren't you ready to count me down?" ”。 (To be continued.)
