It was a stormy night.

Earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded in the gloomy night sky one after another, shaking the whole world to a white striking. It also shook the people in the house.

Wen Xiaoyun held on to the fire fold, and with the help of the lightning light that appeared from time to time, he carefully lit the candles on the candlestick.

The orange flames flickered and flickered, illuminating her mud-stained face.

She let out a long exhale and sat down.

Looking up, the fierce raindrops crackled against the thin window paper, and it seemed that it would smash into the house in the next second.

She was a little glad to think that it was good enough that the housekeeper was kind enough to take her in, otherwise it would have been miserable tonight.

She raised her hand to unbutton her placket, wanting to take off her mud-covered clothes and put on the clean clothes that her master had kindly prepared for her.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a sharp knock on the door.

Wen Xiaoyun quickly buttoned the button again, stood up, and looked at the closed door vigilantly.

"Who?"

However, the people outside didn't mean to answer, but banged on the door even harder!

Wen Xiaoyun looked at the old door that had been knocked into the mountain, and couldn't help but take half a step back in horror.

The one who allowed her to live here was the owner's little apprentice, and he could only find an old utility room for her.

The doors and windows are in disrepair and are not strong. I can't withstand such a ferocious collision from outsiders.

Sure enough, within two blows, the dilapidated wooden door was kicked open, and two middle-aged men with fierce expressions rushed in.

One of them rushed to Wen Xiaoyun in two steps, grabbed her neck without saying anything, and dragged her outside like a dead dog!

"You brute! We kindly took you in, and you will take revenge! Look at Lao Tzu if you don't peel your bones and skin, chop them up and feed them to the dogs! ”

Wen Xiaoyun's current body is only eighteen years old, and his body is thin and thin, he can't withstand the strength of that person at all, his neck is strangled red, and he almost can't breathe.

She desperately grabbed the man's big iron hand and shouted in a dumb voice, "What are you talking about? I haven't been out of the house, I don't know anything-"

Another man saw that Wen Xiaoyun dared to resist, and slapped her in the face, "The stinky bastard who was picked up by the thief dog, why did you let that little sixth son who didn't have long eyes bring in the door?" Look at Lao Tzu who didn't skin you alive! ”

The two men dragged her through the long corridor and dragged her into the main house at the end of the corridor, and threw her to the ground with a hard blow.

This knocked Wen Xiaoyun into a daze, and she felt that her shoulder blades were about to be shattered.

It took a while for her to steady her breath and raise her head to examine her surroundings.

This is supposed to be a living room, with a beautiful wood-grain floor on the floor and a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls.

Above the room, there are several groups of desks and chairs. Sitting in front of Wen Xiaoyun was a young man.

Twenty-one or twelve-year-old, dressed in white, plain and clean than snow. The most eye-catching thing is his face.

Wen Xiaoyun had never seen such a beautiful face.

He wore a lotus white jade crown on his head, and his long black hair was neatly tied up, and there was no messy hair. Wearing a plain robe, the texture is light and elegant, the fabric is of high quality, and the workmanship is fine. Holding a whisk made of Xiangfei bamboo, he wears a pair of pure white satin boots at his feet. Amazingly, there was dirty muddy water everywhere outside, but his boots weren't stained in the slightest.

Of course, the most amazing thing is his inhumane face.

The skin is as white as jade, the long eyebrows are as deep as dai, and a pair of phoenix eyes are shining brightly. is obviously a plain dress, but he shows an otherworldly dignity on him.

Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a navy blue warrior costume, with a serious expression and sharp eyes. With his right hand pressed on his waist, it seemed that as soon as someone approached his master without permission, he would draw the blade hidden at his waist and cut him off the spot.

Wen Xiaoyun frowned and secretly looked at the environment in the room.

In the huge hall, there was nothing else except the man in white in front of her, the warrior guard in navy blue clothes, and the two men who escorted her in.

Could it be that the man in white is the owner of this house?

Wen Xiaoyun frowned suspiciously.

The little apprentice who had sheltered her and lived here before, clearly said that he was the sixth apprentice of the master. She thought that the owner of this place would have to be forty or fifty years old, but she didn't expect to be so young.

"Mr. Master," Wen Xiaoyun decided that he couldn't just sit still, stiffened his neck to stand up, and bowed to the man in white, "I am a passer-by in Xia, thanks to the kindness of your little apprentice, seeing that the heavy rain is coming, and there is no place to live in the mountains and forests, so I am allowed to stay and live in Xia." It's just that when I got home, it was already late at night, and I didn't want to disturb the lord's house anymore, so I didn't have time to talk to you. If you have caused trouble to the host family by staying overnight, you can apologize and leave now. ”

When the man who came in with Wen Xiaoyun in the back heard that Wen Xiaoyun was going to run, his eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his leg towards Wen Xiaoyun's waist and kicked it, "Do you still want to run?" You're fucking beautiful! ”

This time, Wen Xiaoyun had already prepared, covering her numb arm and dodging, which could be avoided.

"Master," Wen Xiaoyun glared at the man in white fiercely, and reprimanded sharply, "I just borrowed it for one night and didn't do anything, why should I be treated so rudely by you?" ”

The man in white frowned slightly, and waved his hand to the ding-like man, "Fourth brother, calm down, let me ask him a few words." ”

The man called Fourth Brother stiffened his neck, and he was unconvinced and argued, "Bai Gongzi, such a big thing happened-"

He was only halfway through his sentence when his companion tugged at his sleeve and shook his head towards him to signal not to contradict him.

The fourth brother barely swallowed the rest of the words and stood aside angrily.

Wen Xiaoyun's eyebrows raised slightly.

How could she listen to the man in white, who didn't look like the master here?

As if seeing her doubts, the man in white slowly stood up, waved his hand at her and saluted her, and said politely, "This brother is also a guest here." With the master here, he has been a chess friend for many years. This time, I came to an appointment to talk with the Lord's family. Originally, tonight was the last night of the retreat of the head of the family, and tomorrow was the time to have a discussion with the master family. Speaking of this, the expression of the man in white suddenly became sad, "I don't want to have an accident before I fall asleep." I had to invite everyone in this house out one by one. ”

Wen Xiaoyun opened her eyes in surprise, "Meaning, accident? Could it be that there was a murder? ”

The man in white looked at the direction of the left window with a worried face, "Not bad." The owner of this manor, surnamed Feng, is named Sancho, and is also known as Luomu Jushi. It is my Fengming Dynasty Danqing Master, who has been living in seclusion here. There were no other servants and stewards in the manor, only the two husbands and wives of the Fallen Wood Lay and six disciples.

It was the fourth brother and the third brother among the six disciples who brought you over just now.

Because of the sudden rainstorm tonight, the fourth brother and the third brother were afraid that the drainage of the Danqing Courtyard in the backyard would not be smooth, so they went to check, but they didn't want to witness the assassination of the Luomu monk. Now the eldest brother and the sixth brother are taking care of Mrs. Feng, who was so excited by the bad news that she fainted to death. The second brother and the fifth brother had already ridden to report to the official and ask the people from the yamen to come over. ”

Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun's face suddenly turned pale.

She had long thought that she might run into a murder soon, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Hearing this, the fourth brother finally couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward and grabbed Wen Xiaoyun's neck, and yelled angrily: "Don't give Lao Tzu this garlic!" The third child and I could see clearly that the doors and windows of the room where the teacher was retreating were intact, there was no ** at all, and outsiders couldn't enter at all. But the teacher was stabbed to death with a knife, and you are the only one in this courtyard who can penetrate the wall and enter the room without being disturbed by the secret room! When we saw you come out of the mud out of nowhere, I thought something was wrong. Because of the face of the sixth child, I pity you and ask you to live in the firewood room to avoid the rain, but I don't want you to take revenge and kill my teacher, such a wolf-hearted pickled villain, Lao Tzu hates to eat you alive, a thousand cuts! ”

Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun suddenly felt five thunderbolts.

Oh no, I didn't expect her to be so panicked casually before, and it became a bottomless pit here, and she had to kill herself.
