Chapter 32: Silence

Xi Jue made trouble for several days, exhausted himself, and finally calmed down after giving Xi Shuangli a well-dressed mound, and as if he had changed a person, he began to bury his head in four books, either reading books or practicing swords, even Xi's father and Xi's mother were a little worried, did Xi Jue have something wrong? In fact, the reason for this is very clear to Mu Zixian, and he and Xi Jue are the same. Only by working hard to become strong can you protect the people around you and protect the people you love. Mu Zixian was immersed in medical pharmacology all day long, with a faint smell of medicine on his body.

And there is one less person in Mufu, that is Lu Qiong, who ran away from home before. Before leaving, Lu Qiong sneaked into Mu Zixian's room and pressed a letter with a hairpin, telling Mu Zixian that he had contacted his father's old friend and was going to join him. In this way, Lu Qiong was basically not in much danger, and Mu Zixian and Mrs. Mu were also slightly relieved. And Mu Liang didn't seem to have worried about Lu Qiong, although he seemed to be in a hurry to return to the hidden capital, but once he returned to the hidden capital, he buried his head in the mansion, and just used one or two sentences to explain Lu Qiong's affairs, as if it was none of his business. Mu Zixian always knew that his father was cold-blooded, even if he didn't want to admit it, but that's the way it was. Over the years, Mu Zixian has also found that his father seems to be busy with something other than official business, but he will always be dumped every time he secretly follows his father.

In fact, Mu Liang was not interested in Lu Qiong's affairs, especially after her father lost his usefulness. Rushing back to the secluded capital in a hurry not only gave Xi's father and even the emperor an illusion that he was very affectionate and righteous, but also because there was an order from above, he had to go back to deal with it immediately.

And Long Xuanjing, who was far away in the Dragon Kingdom, was drunk that night, but after getting drunk, he returned to his original coldness, but it seemed to be even colder than before.

Tanyun Mountain.

Xi Shuang's body had almost recovered, Elder Qingyuan had long since lost his shelter, and Xi Shuang was driven by Elder Qingwu to mess with Leng Mo.

She still remembered Elder Qingwu's cold face, and looked at her with disgust, "What Qing Yuan picked up can't eat and drink in vain!" , go to the kitchen with that kid! As he spoke, Elder Qingwu brandished a rattan whip and whipped him on both arms without mercy, but fortunately, Leng Mo appeared in time and pulled her out of the encirclement and pulled to the kitchen.

Xi Shuang is used to eating in Xifu, and the coarse tea and light rice here are still acceptable, but how could she have suffered such a grievance before, not so much that the whip hurt Xi Shuang's arm, but rather hurt Xi Shuang's self-esteem, she always knew that she was superfluous, but Qingwu's repeated reminders made her heart like a thousand ants gnawing, her eyes gradually moistened, and she was full of tears.

"Are you alright?" Leng Mo glanced at Xi Shuang, Xi Shuang lowered his eyes and shook his head. Leng Mo couldn't help but take Xi Shuang's hand, lifted her sleeve, and there was a long blood mark, because there were spikes on the rattan, and blood had oozed out in some places. That whip even made Leng Mo, who was used to being beaten, bruise, let alone look at Xi Shuang, who had fine skin and tender meat.

Leng Mo took out a small medicine bottle from his waist and gently sprinkled the white medicine powder on Xi Shuang's arm, Xi Shuang was in pain and subconsciously withdrew his hand, but Leng Mo grabbed her hand tighter. "Bear with me." Leng Mo glanced up at Xi Shuang, and met Xi Shuang's eyes, Xi Shuang couldn't see the waves in his eyes, and even felt that his eyes seemed to be wrapped in something, very godless. Before he could observe carefully, Leng Mo lowered his head in the next second, and concentrated on applying medicine to her, and from time to time he blew with his mouth to relieve the pain. The person in front of him seemed to have changed into Xi Jue's appearance, Xi Shuang quickly withdrew his hand and pulled down his sleeves in embarrassment. There are some things that I can't bear to recall, and when I recall, Xi Shuang is afraid that he will not be able to control the tears that he finally hidden.

Leng Mo was stunned at first, and then sat down in front of the stove and put the firewood into the stove. The firelight reflected his face, which was very good-looking, and Xi Shuang couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. The heroic sword eyebrows, some godless Danfeng eyes, and the high bridge of the nose seem to be carefully carved from heaven. Suddenly, Long Xuanjing's face was reflected in front of Xi Shuang's eyes, strange, how could this cold silence look six or seven points similar to Long Xuanjing? Xi Shuang shook his head, there are more people in this world who look alike!

"I'll help you!" Xi Shuang got up and walked towards Leng Mo, squatted beside him, picked up a piece of firewood, followed Leng Mo's appearance, and carefully put it into the stove. The firewood was "crackling" and burning, just like the fireworks of that day, and "I want to see the fireworks in the world with you for a lifetime" was still lingering in Xishuang's ears. The fire in the hearth seems to be dancing around freely, but it is only confined to the hearth, where is the real freedom? Xi Shuang couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the stove fire and being stunned.

Leng Mo looked at Xi Shuang, who was facing the fire, her long eyelashes were dyed golden yellow by the firelight, and those watery peach blossom eyes made people lose their defense. Looking at Xi Shuang so closely, Leng Mo found that the little girl in front of him was like an elf, although there was a trace of gloom in her eyes, but she couldn't hide the clarity inside. Looking at it, Leng Mo forgot to add firewood to it. Seeing that the fire was getting smaller and smaller, Xi Shuang came back to his senses in an instant, and was about to ask Leng Mo the reason, but he met his unpredictable eyes, but Xi Shuang saw clearly this time, Leng Mo was not blind, but his eyes seemed to be covered with thin silk, he should be invisible, but looking at his behavior, it didn't seem to be completely invisible. Xi Shuangzheng wondered, Leng Mo quickly turned his head, added firewood to the stove again, and pretended to be calm, but the blush on his face had betrayed him, but Xi Shuangzheng wondered about his eyes and didn't find it.

Leng Mo tried not to look at Xi Shuang, but Xi Shuang's gaze was fermenting hotly in his heart, the defense line in his heart had been shaken, and seeing that it was about to fall apart, Leng Mo quickly stood up, "The firewood is almost gone, I'll go and chop some more." The voice was still the same cold, but it trembled a little, and he walked into the courtyard without looking back. Xi Shuang looked at the abundant firewood next to him, and wondered for a while, isn't there still a lot of firewood?

Xi Shuang followed an apple from the stove, leaning against the door, more than ten meters away from Leng Mo, she wanted to verify her guess. She held the apple in her left hand, if Leng Mo had an eye disease, according to Xi Shuang's judgment, ten meters should be the limit, but a normal person should not say ten meters, even if it is twenty meters, what the other party is holding in his hand can at least be seen, at least which hand is holding something can be seen. "Leng Mo, what do you see I have in my right hand? I can chop wood for you! Xi Shuangchong shouted coldly, lowering Leng Mo's defense, but his eyes kept following Leng Mo, and he watched his every move.

I saw Leng Mo frowning, to be honest, he couldn't see anything, there was a white mist in the direction of Xi Shuang's voice, and everything in front of him was hazy, not to mention that Xi Shuang was standing so far away? Leng Mo suddenly remembered something, threw down the axe in his hand, and ran in that direction, getting closer and closer, Xi Shuang's silhouette became clearer and clearer, and at this time, Xi Shuang had already guessed nine times out of ten, and also ran to Leng Mo, worried that he would fall.

"Your right hand, the bleeding has just stopped, this will tear the wound!" Leng Mo hurriedly lifted Xi Shuang's sleeves, and was relieved to see that the wound had no traces of tearing.

Xi Shuang looked cold and anxious, and his heart was warm but also a little sympathetic. Suddenly, she seemed to understand a little, why Leng Mo was always alone, unwilling to say a word to others, and unwilling to stay for a moment longer, maybe he didn't want others to discover his eye disease and find his fragility! is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet. Xi Shuang secretly made up his mind to study a way to cure his eyes, of course, before he had an idea, Xi Shuang decided to cooperate with Leng Mo to act, since he didn't want people to know, she pretended not to know.

It's almost noon, Leng Mo is concentrating on cooking in the kitchen, usually he is alone in this place full of oil smoke, but now with Xi Shuang's company, the kitchen work is no longer so boring. Seeing Leng Mo's final closing action, Xi Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to help Leng Mo deliver the same dish to Lingfeng Pavilion, and Elder Qingwu's meal had already been sent to take it. The kitchen is still a long distance away from Lingfeng Pavilion, although Xi Shuang is only carrying one basket in his hand, he is already sweating profusely, and his steps are heavy, while Leng Mo is still carrying three baskets with light steps, and even the beads of sweat are only a little bit.

"Yo! Elder Qingyuan has picked up garbage again! Hahaha! A disciple with a green jade pendant on his body looked at Xi Shuang mockingly, and flirted with the jade pendant from time to time, as if he wanted to show off his wealth with them, but Xi Shuang had seen the mutton fat jade and his own glowing Hetian jade pendant, and he didn't care about it. Seeing that Xi Shuang's eyes didn't have the surprise he wanted, the man was a little angry at first, then laughed, and then there was a malicious laugh in the Ling Feng Pavilion. Xi Shuang clenched his fists, wanting to step forward and reason with the well-dressed beast, but was held down by Leng Mo, Leng Mo shook his head, and signaled Xi Shuang not to be impulsive.

"Slow down." Leng Mo coldly spit out two words, and pulled Xi Shuang towards the outside of the pavilion, but was blocked by the man. The man laughed flirtatiously, "What is the senior brother anxious about?" The little junior sister is so handsome, why don't you stay and eat with the senior brothers and sisters? As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand to hook Xishuang's chin, but before he could touch it, he was beaten down by Leng Mo, "Don't bother." Leng Mo pushed the man away, pulled Xi and walked away without looking back.

"Leng Mo, that person ......" Xi Shuang looked at Leng Mo with a black face, and said timidly, that senior brother just now is simply a well-dressed beast!

"Ignore him. He is Sheng Ming, the eldest disciple under Elder Qingwu, and he is lustful. The two words of cold silence described Sheng Ming very appropriately, and there was still a little anger in his voice.

It is true that every day when Elder Qingyuan is away, they are very sad, Tanyuan Hall and Tanwu Hall Lingfeng Pavilion are simply two scenes, one winter and one spring. Elder Qingyuan accepted dozens of disciples under his seat, and specially built the Lingfeng Pavilion for them, while Elder Qingyuan only accepted three disciples, and the side hall of the Tanyuan Hall was more than enough for them to live in. It's just very strange that Elder Qingyuan has traveled all over the world all year round, except for a few Heart Sutras, he has never taught his disciples any martial arts and spells, so they are often ridiculed by Elder Qingwu's disciples, but they are helpless.

Xi Shuang's stomach suddenly "gurgled" uncomfortably, and she covered her stomach in embarrassment. looked at her with a look of embarrassment on her face silently, and the corners of her mouth actually hooked up a curvature, this smile made Xi Shuang can't help but think of Long Xuanjing, it really seems that I don't know how Long Xuanjing is now? Xi Shuang propped his head like this, looking at it and falling into a busy silence again. Somehow, those eyes would appear in front of him even if he didn't look at them coldly, and he swallowed his saliva and reminded himself to concentrate on stir-frying. These wild vegetables were pulled yesterday, and I guess they will have to look for them in the afternoon, otherwise they will go hungry.

"Let's eat it." Leng Mo put two bowls of white rice and a plate of wild vegetables on the table in front of Xi Shuang. Xi Shuang looked at the lonely wild vegetables on the table, swallowed his saliva, although it was simple, but the wild vegetables looked quite delicious, anyway, it was better than being hungry. One bite down, the wild vegetables are really delicious, Xi Shuang endured more than one bite after another, chewing slowly and coldly, looking at Xi Shuang, the corners of his mouth actually hooked up a smile again, in the past ten years, he basically hasn't laughed much, but in front of this girl, he can't help but show a smile that has been suppressed for a long time, but soon, he retracted his smile. Leng Mo sandwiched the wild vegetables into the double bowl of Xishuang, and finally had a temperature in his cold tone, "No one will rob you." Xi Shuang glanced at Leng Mo, immediately lowered his head to eliminate the food in the bowl, and said silently in his heart: "Why didn't anyone rob me?" You're not human! ”

"In the afternoon, I have to go to the back mountain to pick some wild vegetables." Leng Mo said while cleaning up the dishes that he didn't look at Xi Shuang, because those eyes were so poisonous that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"I'll go with you !!" Xi Shuang suddenly raised her little hand excitedly, she was still thinking about where to find some medicinal herbs, since Leng Mo was going to the back mountain, there must be a lot of herbs on the back mountain, and it didn't take much effort to get there!
