CHAPTER XVII

The place was chosen by Zhou Zhi, it is said that it is the only one unique, and he only heard Zhou Zhi boasting along the way, and Xie Jianmian signaled that he was listening from time to time.

"Let me tell you, that place is on the outskirts of the city, and in the spring it is full of mountain flowers, and all kinds of butterflies fly non-stop, which is beautiful. There are also small waterfalls, which are clear and cool, and there are many wild fruits. The most important thing is that no one knows, quiet, I found out myself, I haven't told anyone, you are the first, be content. ”

"Well, yes, thank you Zhou Zhutou." Xie Jianmian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and nodded perfunctorily. Then he thought of something, smiled and said, "But...... It's quiet and not easy to find, what does Zhou Zhutou want to do? Well? ”

Zhou Zhi really put away his mouthful of tirade, glanced at him, shook off the hand he had pulled up, and walked forward.

Xie Jianmian, who was in a good mood behind him, laughed, followed quickly, hummed an unknown tune to surpass Zhou Zhi, and walked extremely briskly. But after a few brisk steps, Xie Gongzi, who didn't know the road, stopped at the corner and hesitated, and had to wait for the catcher behind him to lead the way.

After waiting for a while, he didn't see Zhou Zhi coming up, Xie Jianmian turned around in confusion, but saw Zhou Zhi stopped in front of a dilapidated mansion, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xie Jianmian had no choice but to turn back, and Zhou Zhi stood in front of the door in a daze as if he hadn't seen him.

It seemed to be a courtyard with a large family, the wall was extremely wide, larger than any house he had seen in Jinzhou these days, the dark gate was closed, and a plaque made of nanmu was hung, and the word "Zhou Zhai" on the real gold plaque could be vaguely seen.

This must have been a very prominent family in those days, but for some reason it had been abandoned for many years, and the majestic door was full of scorched black burned by the fire, and the grass beside the stone steps in front of the door was half a man's high, drowning out the glory.

For some reason, Xie Jianmian felt that he smelled a bloody breath, which made him feel a little unspeakably depressed.

Zhou Zhi felt the pressure on his shoulders, subconsciously shook a little, broke free from the deep and endless memories, and turned his head to meet Xie Jianmian's inquiring gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

Xie Jianmian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes to make sure that this person's soul was in place, and asked hesitantly.

"It's nothing ......" Zhou Zhi pinched his eyebrows hard, he didn't stretch his frowning brows for a moment, he was silent for a moment and then spoke, "Look at this family, more than ten years ago it was the most prominent business in Jinzhou, self-made, several generations of accumulation, how many people who climbed the power and became noble flocked to it back then, and the people who stammered could line up from the door to the end of this street, but what could it be." I don't know who I offended, and they all died overnight, leaving only a piece of ashes. ”

When Zhou Zhi said this, there was a faint mockery in his eyes, but his lips were pursed extremely tightly, he didn't even notice it, but these all fell into Xie Jianmian's eyes.

Xie Jianmian said tentatively: "I see that this plaque says 'Zhou House', and you are also surnamed Zhou ......."

In just a moment, the solemnity and exhaustion on Zhou Zhi's face were wiped out, and the raunchy and only angry Zhou Yu was about to come back, the ridicule in his eyes was replaced by pickiness, he glanced Xie Jianmian up and down, and said: "According to this, the owner of Liuyun Villa is still surnamed Xie." ”

Xie Jianmian's expression suddenly became very strange, Zhou Zhi's heart trembled, and an incredible guess flashed, and before he dared to think about it, he heard Xie Jianmian speak.

“…… That's my dad. ”

Zhou Zhi: "......"

He knew early on that Xie Jianmian's origin was not simple, and he would definitely not be the son of an idler, but he didn't expect it to be like this. He turned out to be the son of the owner of Liuyun Mountain Villa, the real "Gongzi Xie".

This is not an unsightly identity, what was this little thief hiding before, Zhou Zhi was puzzled, but after thinking about it, what is Liuyun Villa, the number one force in the rivers and lakes, such a loud signboard, such a big tree, but the owner's son's martial arts are like this, if he mostly has to hide it.

Yesterday, his subordinates turned into bigwigs in the world of rivers and lakes, and Zhou Zhi felt that this psychological gap was a bit big.

He said sourly: "It turns out that it is really Gongzi Xie, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"By the way, I admire Ling Zun very much."

"He." Xie Jianmian tugged at the corners of his mouth disappreciatively, "It's just an old-fashioned man who can only practice martial arts, Zhou Zhutou, you really have no taste." It is better to admire him than to admire me."

"Admire you for something. Poor kung fu? Stealing chickens and dogs? Still is...... Hook up with people casually? ”

Xie Jianmian sighed and sighed: "Didn't you find that I was better than you?" ”

"Found found, found found." Zhou Zhi couldn't hold back a smile, and raised his hand to smooth the soft and long black hair of the person next to him, "But since you are the son of Lord Xie Zhuang, why haven't you studied kung fu well?" ”

"I don't want to learn. When I was a child, as soon as my father asked me to practice martial arts, I cried in my mother's arms, and with my mother as a backer, my father didn't dare to force me. Xie Jianmian raised his thin eyelids to face the sun, and the contours of his side face shone brightly, "Besides, I have learned light skills well, and if I can't beat it, I'll run, and if others can't catch up with me, it's okay." ”

This tone is very in line with Mr. Xie's style of acting, and Zhou Zhi didn't feel the slightest surprise, but he was a little worried about the owner of Xie Zhuang.

There were gags along the way, and the fairyland-like valley in Zhou Zhi's mouth soon arrived, but it was just ...... Xie Jianmian stared at the scene in front of him, frozen in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

I saw that there was no grass growing in the valley, bare and yellow, big is really big, wide and boundless, but the flowers can't find a flower, and the butterfly doesn't even have a shadow, and it is 108,000 miles away from the wonderful place described by Zhou Zhi, if you want to say which one fits, it is probably desolate and quiet.

Xie Jianmian rolled his Adam's apple and choked out in the middle of the night: "This is what you said...... It's really good-looking. ”

The vision was too psychedelic, and Rao is Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly and said, "I wasn't like this last time." ”

"When was the last time?"

Zhou Zhi: "...... Two years ago. ”

Xie Gongzi's words were sharp, and he grasped the lifeblood at once. He really wanted to slap Zhou Zhi back an hour ago, so that he could listen to what he said. But after all, it has come and gone, and although it doesn't look very elegant, it's enough to take a walk.

"Forget it, so be it." Xie Jianmian kindly decided not to care about it anymore, and if he came, he would be at ease, after all, it was Zhou Zhutou's heart, and it was difficult for him.

Zhou Zhi touched his nose embarrassedly, trying to save the face he lost two years ago: "...... Then I'll take you for a walk. ”

Before the words fell, a "rumbling" thunder sounded, and the sky that had been a sunny day just now suddenly became gloomy, gray clouds covered the sun, and the surroundings were as dark as the sunset.

Zhou Zhi suspected that he should not go out today, and the place where he wanted to offer treasure would collapse like a living person, and he just swore that the weather would improve and thunder rolled in his eyes, afraid that God would embarrass him.

A few muffled thunder rolled, the pouring rain fell instantly, it stands to reason that the spring rain is as expensive as oil, no matter how much rain in the Qingming season, it can't crackle like this, it is comparable to the downpour that covers people's faces when they are caught off guard in the middle of summer.

Ignoring the loss of face, Zhou Zhi took off his coat, covered the heads of the two of them, and ran forward with Xie Jianmian in his arms. At this point, it would be impossible to go back, so I had to look for any caves nearby where I could shelter from the rain.

Xie Jianmian was caged under his robe like a chicken cub by Zhou Zhi, and his warm and powerful arms were close to his back, but after all, his clothes couldn't resist the rain, and no matter how carefully he protected them, it would only be wet for a moment.

Zhou Zhutou led people to choose a secluded and uninhabited place, and now he suffered retribution, and he couldn't find anyone to find a home.

Fortunately, there is a cave not far away, which is not wide, and it is enough for two people to go in and rest.

Before the late spring, the weather was already a little cool, and after the heavy rain, it was a little wet and cold. The clothes were soaked, and the cold stones were wrapped around the body, which was really a little cold.

Zhou Zhi put down the hand holding his coat, drained the rain vigorously, and his eyes swept over Xie Jianmian's body during his movements-the rain-soaked clothes were drenched on his body, his thin and narrow waist was submerged under the tight waist seal, and his slender limbs were looming, with the breath of grass and spring rain, swept into the entire narrow cave in all directions.

Zhou Zhi's throat was a little tight, and the hot air poured in instantly, and his body, which was still cold just now, seemed to be boiling at this moment. He looked away unnaturally, and saw that Xie Jianmian was shivering from cold, and subconsciously wanted to wrap him tightly from head to toe with his coat, but before he could take action, he remembered that he was also soaked, and he really couldn't tell half of his clothes to Xie Gongzi.

"Is it cold?"

“…… Not bad. ”

Xie Jianmian's mouth was hard, and he was reckless while shaking.

Although this cave is small, fortunately there are a few plants that I don't know what they are in the cave, maybe the growth space is too narrow, they are all short and weak, very pitiful, but the fire should be enough.

Zhou Zhi pulled up the dry branches and gathered them together, and picked up two sharp stones and knocked them for a moment, a few wisps of sparks appeared, and the branches were ignited instantly, and the warm light suddenly enveloped the dark and cold cave and dispelled the invading cold breath.

"You go over there and sit down for a while." Zhou Zhi pointed to the burning fire, and couldn't help but say again, "It's shaking like something, it's not cold." ”

Xie Jianmian didn't plan to get along with himself, so he obediently moved over and roasted the fire contentedly, until the temperature of his hands gradually rose, Zhou Zhi was still standing in the place where he was, and he didn't mean to come and sit at all, Xie Jianmian shook his clothes that were still a little sticky, and asked, "Why don't you come and bake it?" ”

Zhou Zhi, who had been thinking about the ape since Fang Cai, sat down by the fire slowly, separated from Xie Jianmian by a person.

Xie Jianmian glanced at him strangely, surprised at how Zhou Zhu's head was drenched in rain and became so chattering.
