Chapter 16: Ancient Mansion in the Mountains

"Thanks to my aunt's help. ”

"It's just a small thing to do with your hands, and after so many years, it's rare that you still remember it. Ning Xiu looked at the gentle girl in front of him and spoke.

This is Liu Ying, her father was a big bastard who drank and gambled, and he even lost all her school tuition back then. Ning Xiu still remembers the little girl who was squatting in the corner of the campus and crying with pear blossoms and rain, and he later helped her pay the money. I didn't expect the other party to remember it until now.

And Liu Ying has also grown from the yellow-faced and skinny clown duck back then to the beautiful white swan now. And I heard that her career is also developing very well now, and at this time she seems to have become the focus of her classmates, and her every move naturally attracts everyone's attention.

Everyone was either direct or pretended to be unintentional, but their attention was focused on Ning Xiu.

"I heard that my aunt opened a company in the magic capital, and I always wanted to go to the door in person to thank me, but I have been delayed by things, and I am really embarrassed. In fact, it's not that Liu Ying doesn't want to visit, it's that she doesn't know the address of Ning Xiu's mother's company at all.

However, Ning Xiu didn't mean to say it at all.

"Don't bother, I think my mom has forgotten about it. ”

Huang Hao's ears were sharp, and after hearing Ning Xiu's conversation, he deliberately said loudly: "Yo, I can't imagine that the old classmates are deeply hidden, the family used to open a big company, why don't you introduce it to the classmates." ”

Liu Ying didn't expect that her behavior would cause trouble to Ning Xiu, so she couldn't help but turn around and glared at Huang Hao angrily.

Huang Hao shrugged his shoulders and said it was none of his business.

Looking at the gathered gaze, Ning Xiu stood up and chuckled: "My mother's company is not big, but it makes a few hard-earned money, which is not as good as everyone." If there is something else to do tonight, I will go first, and this glass of wine will be regarded as a punishment. ”

But even so, Huang Hao didn't mean to stop at all, only to see him speak: "Ning Xiu, you're not interesting enough, the old classmates finally got together, and you are leaving." Is it because my family runs a big company and looks down on us classmates?"

When he said the word "big company", he deliberately accentuated his tone, with a strong sense of ridicule, without concealing it at all. He didn't believe that Ning Xiu's mother opened a big company in the magic capital, in his opinion, it was just Liu Ying who deliberately said this to support Ning Xiu.

"I'm really in trouble. Ning Xiu looked at Huang Hao, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The other party has repeatedly provoked and provoked, even if the person with a good temper has to be angry.

"It's fine if you really want to go, but it's not okay to punish alcohol. Our classmates have already said in advance that if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return, whoever goes first will settle the bill. Huang Hao first glanced at everyone, and then slowly spoke.

This was originally just a joke between classmates, and no one would take it seriously.

But now that Huang Hao has said it so formally, it is difficult for others to say anything.

Ning Xiu looked at everyone and suddenly fell silent.

One second, two seconds.

With each trace of time, the curvature of the corners of Huang Hao's mouth increased.

The rest of the people were worried, unbearable, or ridiculed, and so on, Ning Xiu looked at the faces in front of him, and suddenly felt a little strange.

It's still the same city, it's still the same people, but when we see each other again, it's two worlds.

"Good. ”

Ning Xiu looked at Huang Hao, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to be smiling.

......

The scene was instantly cold.

No one expected Ning Xiu to answer like this.

In their imagination, Ning Xiu may be annoyed and angry, and refuse in anger, may be gags and fooled to get by; and may bow his head and admit his mistakes to win sympathy.

But they never thought that Ning Xiu would say "good" so lightly.

As soon as the smile on Huang Hao's face was raised, it completely froze, he was stunned, and after a long while, he reacted, and shouted at Ning Xiu: "Okay, then please hurry up and check out." ”

Huang Hao thought that Ning Xiu was just talking big, but who knew that he didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"Hmph, don't try to fool around. ”

Huang Hao snorted coldly and walked out, and the rest of the people also followed behind slowly, watching the excitement is not a big deal, anyway, no matter what the result is, it is none of their business.

"Box 1075, how much is it in total. Ning Xiu looked at the beauty at the front desk and said.

"Wait a minute...... A total of 37,682 yuan. ”

"Okay. Ning Xiu said and took out the check he had received earlier from his pocket and handed it to the front desk.

The front desk cutie took the check and just wanted to check the authenticity of the check and the account balance of the drawer. But when her eyes were aimed at the name of the biller, the whole person suddenly stood up, which made the staff on the side stunned.

"Mr. is a friend of Manager Su?"

Looking at the beautiful woman at the front desk in front of her, Ning Xiu also felt confused.

Manager Su: That woman seems to be surnamed Su.

Ning Xiu nodded, didn't bother to explain, and said, "Is there a problem with the check?"

“...... No, no, there's money left......"

"The rest of the money, you give it back to your family Manager Su for me, everyone has fun. ”

Ning Xiu turned around and smiled at the group of classmates as he spoke, turned around and left without looking back, leaving a group of people messy in the wind.

......

The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing away a little of Ning Xiu's drinking.

Look at the crowd around you.

He glanced down at the time, hesitated, and finally decided to return to the Taoist temple.

Under the bright moonlight, Ning Xiu walked alone on the quiet mountain road.

As he walked, he suddenly felt a hint of coldness.

At this time, it is the dog days, and no matter how cool the night breeze is, it is impossible to make people feel cold.

Ning Xiu shuddered, and the residual bit of alcohol completely dissipated. He looked up and saw that the trees on the mountain were covered in a layer of silver at some point.

No wonder he felt so bright before, he looked down at his clothes, and unsurprisingly no longer his original casual clothes, but a scholar's robe.

He took a few steps forward, and an old mansion came into view.

The stone steps are covered with fine white snow, and the plum trees on both sides are swaying, and the red plums are sprinkled.

There was a faint light coming out of the room.

It shows that this is not a deserted house.

A flash of realization flashed in Ning Xiu's eyes, and he walked up without the slightest hesitation, grabbed the knocker with his hand, and knocked on the door.

Bell bell bell ~

The knock on the door rang out in a very rhythmic way.

Knock knock~

A very rhythmic sound came from the ancient mansion at the same time.

Ning Xiu stood in front of the door, waiting patiently, and quietly held a talisman seal in the palm of his right hand.

His face was calm, but his heart had already set off waves.
