As soon as Mr. Mu closed his eyes, he never opened them again, and he didn't tell the truth of the situation until he died, let alone reveal his identity and life experience, and who was sacred.

Hearing that the old gentleman had passed away, the two apprentices Huang Bipo and Yang Xue rushed in crying and kowtowed, Bai Wei and I coaxed for a long time before finally calming the two down.

Subsequently, according to Mr. Mu's instructions to the two disciples before we came, the news of his death was not made public, but the two disciples, Bai Wei and Yang Sheng, and the three of us escorted the old man's body out of the town, and buried it very simply in the cemetery outside the village, and the grave where he was buried was the one that Bai Wei and I had 'buried' before.

I remember that night was a clear sky, but the old man's coffin had just fallen into the ground, the dark clouds closed the moon and the stars in an instant, the sky and the earth were instantly dim, and the surrounding area was dark and there were no fingers, and after more than ten seconds, the thick clouds finally drifted away with the breeze again, and the closed coffin lid was quietly opened by someone at some point, and Mr. Mu's peaceful body was gone......

"Master, go all the way...... Master, go all the way...... Master, go all the way......"

The brother and sister shouted three times in a row, bowed again and again, and then continued to bury the empty coffin, and after everything was in order, they took us back to the paper shop.

Seeing that the two of them looked down, their eyes were full of hesitation, I asked the two: "Mr. Mu has passed away, what are your plans next?" ”

The two brothers and sisters shook their heads, and then Yang Xue replied: "The master had instructions before leaving, and the two of us can do it, so we don't have to worry about it, and since the master is no longer there, the paper shop in Dongtuo Town is no longer there, and my brother and sister will also leave, and there is no need to come back in the future, we will meet again......

After the two finished speaking, they entered the house and began to pack their luggage, and seeing that the New Year was approaching, where could the two of them go in the deep winter, so Bai Wei and I wanted to stay, but the two insisted on leaving, Bai Wei and I didn't say anything more, and finally watched the two brothers and sisters lock the door of the paper shop, and after leaving on a motorcycle, the three of us went on the road and returned to Huangjiagouzi.

On the way, the three of us were silent, pondering Mr. Mu's deathbed confessions.

After a long time, Bai Wei opened his mouth in a deep voice: "It turns out that he has been paving the way for us......"

"What did you say?" I asked.

Bai Wei glanced at me, and said: "I'm talking about Mr. Mu, although I don't know what kind of master he is, but if I think about it carefully, since he entered the WTO more than 20 years ago, he has undoubtedly been silently guiding us in a certain direction, as if he is paving the way for us, so that we can complete a certain thing that he wants to do, but he can't do it himself, just like in a game of chess, and you and me, Yang Death, Huang Bipo and Yang Xue, and even my brother who was playing alone with him in his dream, we are all chess pieces in his game of chess." ……”

After Bai Wei finished speaking, she began to ponder again, and after a while, she heard Yang Die speak, and asked inexplicably: "So in this game of chess, is this mysterious old Mr. Mu holding black or white?" ”

For a while, Bai Wei and I didn't know how to answer Yang Die's words, so we could only be silent all the way.

Fortunately, when we got home, the stalemate silence was finally broken, as soon as we pushed the door open, we saw a burst of laughter in the yard, the Huang family uncle with a plaster cast on his legs was sitting in a wheelchair, and was chatting with the white dragon and the fourth child who were also sitting in a wheelchair, Meng Xinxue snooped at the side and swept the white dragon quietly listening, Zhao Danian, who came to deliver pork, was also listening to a few people talking and laughing, and Xiaofei and the third girl chased a chicken all over the yard, and the fourth son, Xiao Sanzi, also dragged a broom, and rode in the back to chase after him, and looked at the middle hall, It was Chen Guosheng who was wearing an apron to help the old lady of the Huang family busy in front of the stove, and the old lady shouted two words into the house from time to time: "You wait, wait......"

Who's in the house? Listening carefully to the shouts coming from the house, it dawned on us that -

"Are you going to starve Lao Tzu to death? I knew that Lao Tzu was living in the hospital, but he couldn't come! ”

It was Mao Xiaofang who shouted, and at this moment he was lying on the kang with Erlang's legs crossed steadily, waiting for everyone to cook and send him into the house.

"Bailong, why did you and Dao Chang Mao come back?"

As soon as I came over, I hurriedly asked in surprise, and Bai Long smiled at Bai Wei and replied: "Of course we have to come back, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, we can't spend the New Year in the hospital, right?" ”

Seeing Bai Long talking and laughing and his face was ruddy, obviously there was no big deal anymore, we were all very happy, especially Bai Wei, seeing that my brother was finally discharged from the hospital, not to mention how happy we were.

In order to prepare for tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone is busy and hot, although Yang Death and Bai Wei have just returned, of course, they can't be idle, so they rolled up their sleeves and planned to go into the middle hall to help cook.

Before I could go into the house, Meng Xinxue suddenly got up and grabbed me from the side, I was stunned, and then I heard Xiaoxue say: "You come out with me first, I have something I want to talk to you about alone......"

When I said this, Meng Xinxue, who was smiling a second ago, looked extremely serious, and I suddenly realized that there were still some things between me and her that had not been resolved.

Why does Meng Xinxue know more about my background than I do? Since she came back this time, we have been so busy with the affairs of Nanzhaozhuang that I have forgotten to take a moment to talk to her alone.

At this time, Meng Xinxue had already walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard, and the white dragon glanced at me and said with a smile: "Go, it's time to untie the knot." ”

I nodded, and hurriedly followed.

When I went out, Meng Xinxue took me to a small corner where no one was around, watched the moonlight and sat faintly, before asking, "Little Liuzi, how much do you know about my life experience?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and replied: "I only heard some of Bailong's words, I heard that you also started to build a foundation since you were a child, and when you were seven or eight years old, you entered the Tianxin Sect to study, and later after practicing in the mountains for a few years, you officially worshiped Luo Qiuping, the head of the Tianxin Sect, as a teacher, and at the age of twenty, you entered the Tianzhu Mansion and the Five Armies of the Protectorate, and officially became the right-hand man of the White Dragon......"

Meng Xinxue nodded, and asked again, "What about other than that?" What else do you know about me? ”

"This ...... I don't know......"

I shook my head, but I saw Meng Xinxue, who had never shown a smile, suddenly smiled slightly, stared at me and said indifferently: "Little Liuzi, I am your sister." ”

"What?"

When I heard this, I let out a 'pop' in my heart, and I was dumbfounded in an instant.

Meng Xinxue was still smiling, and replied, "Do you remember when we first met, we were also here......

I was dazed, thinking carefully back to that time, Meng Xinxue came with Yang Death, and the purpose of coming here was to catch Bai Wei, and she also fought with us.

I only heard Meng Xinxue say: "At that time, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the grandson of the old man Ma Sanshan, and I specially said something to you when I left, do you still remember?" ”

"Remember, you said that our surname Ma is not a good thing," I replied, "I have never forgotten those words, and I have been thinking about what our old Ma family has offended you about, and when you mention the Ma family or my grandfather, my face is full of disdain......"

"Because I hate, hate being abandoned by your Ma family back then." Speaking of this, Meng Xinxue's eyes were red, and she said: "To be precise, I have no blood relationship with your family, I have been an abandoned baby since I was a child, and then Ma Junwu and Ma Junling saw me in the barren mountain when they rescued your mother Xinu when they went down the mountain, and I was saved." Since then, I have been taken by Ma Junling's side, regarded by him as his own, and also stayed in the Jiguan Mountain outside Sanhe County for a period of time, but then because I was too young, I was transferred by Ma Junling to your grandfather Ma Sanshan, and then the old man of Sanshan fostered me in the familiar Tianxin faction. When I became an adult, my master Luo Qiuping explained the reason to me, and told me that if I had the opportunity in the future, I must repay the kindness of the Ma family of the Demon Slaying Dragon Clan, but ...... But I hate ...... I hate my father Ma Junling, why did he abandon me? I hate your grandfather Ma Sanshan for forcing my father to death! I hate you whole Soap Mountain people! ”
