Madame Tang closed the window and paced back and forth in the room, with an anxious look on her face, as if she was waiting for someone. The table is beautifully lit on the tabletop, and the table is supported by slender high lampposts. The small round iron plate on the lamp hangs high, and the small flame of the lamp is red and yellow. Mrs. Tang was dressed in satin loose sleepwear, and her fat body became more and more huge. On the dimly lit wall, a diagonal figure occupies half of the wall.

Today, Master Tang went out with his entourage and the military steward, leaving Mrs. Tang alone in an empty room. This old man Tang went out twice in three days, and he was like this all year round, and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but feel resentful. and made a private appointment with his childhood sweetheart and lover Mu Qi, and the old relationship between the two rekindled and concealed it for a long time. This night, she was waiting for him to arrive in her heart.

Just as Mrs. Tang was waiting impatiently, she was pacing anxiously in the room. I heard a low cry of pain outside the window. The sound was mixed with the chirping of cicadas, faintly entering the house. Mrs. Tang's sensitive ears twitched, and she chuckled a few times in her heart. Stunned for a moment, she hurried to the window, bit her lip nervously and hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pushed the window open. She leaned out half of her body and looked around, and there was silence outside the window in her eyes. Tonight's hot and boring weather, there is not a trace of wind, and there is not a trace of shadow.

I heard people screaming in pain, why didn't I see half a figure? Did you hear it wrong? …… She thought to herself, how can this Muki still have a future? Isn't there something important to miss the appointment? If it's still late, I'm afraid it's going to be dawn again...... Mrs. Tang looked suspicious and thought to herself while looking out the window. She slowly closed the window again, and as soon as she turned around, she only let out a soft "ah" call, and her face froze there in horror. But I saw that Mu Qi stood behind her with a smile in the dark light. The cold and handsome face is cold-eyed, and the smile is a proud smile.

"Ouch, I'm scared to death! You deserve to be scolded! Mrs. Tang stared at him blankly, and was stunned for a long time in the face of him, and finally came to her senses. He patted his chest with his hand, and said coquettishly, "Brother Qi, in the middle of the night, you came in quietly." The soul of the sister is going to be scared away by you! ”

Murky is fair-skinned and thin-skinned, pale in the light. His smiling cold eyes seemed to express infinite tenderness. He couldn't help but say, and pulled her into his arms. Only lips to her ear, tenderly and sweetly, "Yin'er, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss it very much." It's true, if you don't see it for a day, it's like every other autumn. ”

Madame Tang was close to him, her head was close to his chest, and she could hear Mu Qi's rapid heartbeat. And his lips were close to his ears, and a wave of heat hit him. The heat wave sandwiched the hot weather, which made her comatose. At this moment, the slender and shrill sound of "meow ,......", and a cat meow came from outside the window.

"Is my precious cat outside the house?" Mrs. Tang heard the meow of the cat, and a white hand gently pushed Mu Qi away. She muttered to herself as she approached the window, reaching out to push it open again. Pricked up his ears to listen carefully, a pair of small eyes swirled, and he glanced out the window several times.

Murky silently approached her, and followed the window to glance out. The two of them observed for a long time, but they did not see the shadow of the cat, and there was no movement outside at all. And after that cat meow, except for the sound of cicadas, everything returned to silence. Mrs. Tang closed the window and muttered to herself, "For some reason, tonight, I always feel like there is a sound outside." Weekdays are not like today. There is always something strange that cannot be explained. ”

"Yin'er, didn't you say that our precious daughter has a cat? Xu is that the cat has no sleep, and wanders around here at night. Murky smiled and patted her on the shoulder, soothing her irritability, and said, "It's fine." With Brother Qi here, what are you afraid of? ”

He mentioned the daughter of the two, that is, the daughter of the Tang family. There was an inexplicable trace of injury on his face. For many years, until today, I have not recognized my biological daughter, and I have an indescribable feeling in my heart. He and Mrs. Tang planned to go back a few times. Just wait for the opportunity to remove Master Tang and Song Lian, the Tang family's wealth will fall into his hands, and he will recognize his blood relatives with his own daughter. This long-term and entangled wait once made him unbearable.

"Brother Qi, this cat's meow is like a precious daughter's cat. It's just that someone seemed to be screaming outside the window before, and Yin'er didn't listen carefully, so she was scared. When Brother Qi came, did you hear it? Mrs. Tang saw that Mu Qi hung her head and said nothing, as if she was falling into thoughts. Mrs. Tang expressed her doubts, and she looked at him in a stunned daze with a pair of eyes looking at the answer.

Murky came back to his senses and listened to her ask about things outside the window. Seeing that she was stunned and looked at him, he hesitated for a moment before he spoke frankly, "When I entered the mansion before, in the darkness, the vigilance of people who practice martial arts. Not far from your house, there seems to be a shadow, and I feel that there is a hidden weapon, but in fact, it is to scare away the person. The man was wounded and escaped with a small effort. ”

"Huh?!" Mrs. Tang couldn't help but be surprised when she heard him. She looked nervous and worried, "This, who is hiding outside the house?" You won't find out about our affair, will you? This, if this is known by the master, how can the two of us live..."After worrying for a while, he complained again, "You are so good at light work, why don't you catch that person?" If you let go of a way to live, won't it make the two of us fall into a dead end? ”

"The reason why I didn't capture that person is that I just don't want to make a big deal out of the situation in this house. Sister Yin, don't panic and don't be afraid. The man was wounded and fled, and he did not dare to come back. I didn't enter your room before, and I didn't grab any handles. What are you afraid of? Why worry? Mu Qi looked disappreciative, and sneered on his cold face, "That evasive skill can be seen, but it is just a useless person." If you meet again, you will never be left behind! ”

"Brother Qi, you said that this person is ordinary, could it be that stinky girl?" Mrs. Tang squinted her eyes, her brain turned to suspicion, and she said to him with a shrewd expression, "That stinky girl stayed in the tea shop so well, she was willing to go back to the house a few days ago." This anomaly is suspicious. Although the stinky girl can order three-legged cat kung fu, she doesn't dare to be strong in front of capable people. But she is a bold girl, and I heard that she has been wild since she was a child. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, maybe she has no sleep at night and turns here. Mrs. Tang yawned as she spoke, and pinched her sleepy eyes with her hand. He said in a low voice, "This harmful girl, if you don't get rid of it for a day, it's a scourge!" ”

"I'm afraid of what she's a yellow-haired girl?! It was pitch black, and the man's black clothes were one with the night, and he fled quickly. I didn't intend to chase it, and I didn't see it. Seeing her suspicions, Mu Qi raised his eyebrows and sneered before recalling, "If it's really as you guess, it's the yellow-haired girl." She can't escape her fate after all! ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she nodded lightly and smiled unsatisfied. looked at him and said seriously, "Brother Qi, last time, Yin'er asked you to find the "Jingyang Secret", how did you find this?" ”

"A few days ago, I was sleepy and couldn't get out. The matter has been put on hold for the time being. Now that the matter has been solved, we can continue to pursue it. Mu Qi stared at one place, and when he mentioned this matter, his face was complicated, and he seemed to say in a heavy voice, "This secret is pursued, Mu Qi I feel, it is difficult to go to the sky!" After being silent for a long time, he said with a firm expression, "But no matter how difficult it is, you must find it!" ”

Seeing his firm expression, Mrs. Tang showed a look of relief. She stared into his eyes, then turned to the lamp. The faint pale yellow flame of the lamp jumped, like the flame in Mrs. Tang's heart.
