"I don't know if Brother Chen has slept, so let's come back tomorrow......"

It's night, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. Xie Tuo, the little fat man who was in high spirits in the council hall during the day, was standing hesitantly outside Xie Chen's room at the moment, reaching out several times to knock on the door, but finally fell down with a low sigh.

"Is it Xie Tuo? Come in. Suddenly, Xie Chen's faint voice came from the room, but it startled Xie Tuo at the door.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you haven't slept yet. As the door opened and closed, Xie Tuo's round face was piled up with a wry smile.

There was no light in the room, the bright moonlight sprinkled through the window paper in the room, and Xie Chen could be vaguely seen lying on the quilt piled up, with a pair of eyes like cold stars in the night sky, staring at Xie Tuo.

"Knew you were coming, waited for you. After a while, Xie Chen finally retracted his gaze and raised his hand to point to the chair next to the bed, "Sit down, you really have the surname to stand it, and you only came to me now." ”

"Yes. Xie Tuo nodded silently and limped to the edge of the bed and sat down. The two brothers, one in bed and the other under the bed, were relatively silent in this moonlit room.

After a long while, Xie Tuo finally broke the silence, "Brother Chen, didn't the third uncle come?"

"Here I am, but I happened to be asleep. Xie Chen nodded slightly, he naturally knew what his father was doing. It's just that he hasn't figured out how to explain it to his father, so he can only pretend to be asleep first.

There was silence again, apparently both of them thinking about their own thoughts.

"Huh-!" After a long time, Xie Tuo suddenly let out a long breath and raised his head, "Brother Chen, during the day in the council hall, why didn't you let me tell me about the back mountain, but instead let me propose to compete with Brother Hao? You also know that in that mountain fire, Brother Hao is the most suspicious, right?"

"Yes, it's just a suspicion, but do you have any evidence?" Xie Chen smiled, his cousin really had the same suspicion as himself.

"Evidence?" Xie Tuo was stunned and shook his head dejectedly, "Brother Hao is so shrewd, how could he leave evidence?" However, except for the three of us yesterday, there was no fourth person who went up the mountain at all. It's not him, is it really Tianhuo?!"

"You're right, I'm sure there are definitely not a few people in the family who doubt this. ”

"But why did he ...... third uncle" Xie Tuo was anxious when he heard this.

Again, there is no evidence. Xie Chen interrupted Xie Tuo's questioning and directly said the answer, "If there is no evidence, then everything is just speculation." Xie Hao is the only son of the Great Elder, and you don't know the status of the Great Elder in the family. If the suspect is identified without any evidence, it may immediately lead to infighting in the family, and in serious cases, even divide the family. ”

Xie Tuo was silent, he thought he had thought enough. But I didn't expect that the frail and sickly cousin in front of me, who had always needed to be taken care of by himself, thought so far.

"If he dared to do so, he must have made a careful arrangement, so it was almost impossible for us to find any evidence in our favor. Even if you continue to cheat during the day, I am afraid that in the end, he will never get the punishment he deserves. ”

Xie Chen looked at the little fat man sitting on the edge of the bed thoughtfully, in his memory, he had never seen Xie Tuo's expression so solemn. Come to think of it, being killed this time has also made Xie Tuo grow a lot.

"Then what should we do?, do you just let him continue to be free?!" The little fat man Xie Tuo's eyes suddenly shot two indignant expressions, "In Pingyue, he pretended to be and bullied me, I can bear it." But this time, he almost killed you, Brother Chen. Originally, I thought that no matter what, we were all brothers, and we grew up together, so we should at least have some feelings. However, I didn't expect him to be so vicious!"

"Friendship is not fake, but the heart of man changes. Xie Chen smiled indifferently, Xie Tuo is young after all, although he is more mature than children of the same age due to the early death of his parents, he is also more able to hide his heart. But compared with Xie Chen, a person who had been among horse thieves since he was a child in his previous life, there was still a big gap.

"He doesn't care about brotherhood, and we don't have to worry about it. That's why I want you to try against him, why? Don't you want to fight him?"

"Don't want to?!" Xie Tuo raised his crooked eyebrows and sneered, "I dreamed that if my innate aptitude was even a little higher, I would have beaten him so much that I didn't even know his mother!"

"If you want to, isn't it appropriate for me to give you this opportunity? You can beat him up in front of all the clansmen and tear off his hypocrite mask. ”

"If only that's the case, of course. The problem is ......" Xie Tuo's face fell, and he said extremely reluctantly: "The problem is that I can't beat him!"

Xie Hao is recognized as the "first person of the same generation" in the family, although the innate qualifications are not considered to be the best talents, but looking at the entire Wushi Town, there is no one of his peers who can surpass him. Because of this, after Xie Tuo proposed the competition today, the Great Elder did not hesitate at all, and nodded directly.

"Then what if I say that I can let you defeat Xie Hao in three days?"

"You?!" Xie Tuo was stunned, looked at Xie Chen in surprise, and then smiled bitterly, "Come on, Brother Chen, I didn't sleep for a long night, are you deliberately using me for fun?" You and the third uncle are the only people in the entire family who are really good to me, although I can't beat him, but disgusting him, you can still do it." ”

"I can. Xie Chen looked at Xie Tuo with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of seriousness and unquestionable.

"Can you ?!......" Feeling Xie Chen's gaze, Xie Tuo suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, after more than ten years of getting along day and night, he had never seen Xie Chen have such a firm tone and such a trustworthy gaze.

"This, you take it. Xie Chen didn't talk nonsense, he took out a few pieces of tissue paper directly from under the quilt and handed them to Xie Tuo.

"This is ......" By the moonlight, Xie Tuo could vaguely see that these pieces of paper were densely filled with crooked small characters, and some of the words had not even dried up the ink, obviously not long after they were written.

"Mixed Yuan Gong, a spiritual power cultivation method. Your roots are basically good, and if you cultivate according to the above exercises, you will achieve a small success in three days. If nothing else, you should be able to feel your own natal spirit. ”

"Sense, what do you feel?!" Xie Chen's tone was flat, but in Xie Tuo's ears, it was even more shocking than a thunderbolt! Feel the natal spirit?!Am I not mistaken? That's a special ability that can only be possessed by a genius whose innate spiritual power qualification can reach the eighth order or above!

"I just wrote it, the appearance is a little worse, but the above exercises are true...... Don't look at me with that kind of look, I'm not sick, I once had a little adventure, and I got this exercise by chance, and it ...... you I'll wipe it! What are you doing! Take it away!"

"Smack!", Xie Chen slapped a fat hand stretched out to his forehead directly.

The little fat man only felt a pain in the back of his hand, and was about to protest two sentences. Unexpectedly, at a glance, his body shook violently, and he looked at Xie Chen in disbelief.

"Brother Chen, your hand ......"

Under the moonlight, Xie Chen's palm, which had been burned beyond recognition and wrapped in bandages, was now exposed. The bandage that wrapped his palm was long gone, and by the moonlight, Xie Tuo could clearly see that Xie Chen's palm was as white as jade, and his fingers were slender, where was there still half a trace of burns?!

"You, this, this ......" The round head suddenly turned oval, seeing this scene, Xie Tuo had long forgotten what he wanted to say, and his mouth opened in surprise, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Oh, that's what you say. Xie Chen looked at his palm and said with a light smile: "When I write, I think the bandage is troublesome, so the surname Suo will be removed." It's good that you saw it, this time, you should believe that I had an adventure, right?"

"Believe, believe!" Xie Tuo nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Just kidding, Xie Chen's injuries were what he had seen with his own eyes, and even if the burns of that level were healed, I am afraid they would leave indelible scars. And where is there still a trace on Xie Chen's hands? Now if it is said that Xie Chen has no adventures, even Xie Tuo will definitely not believe it.

"Eh, Brother Chen, we are usually together, when did you have an adventure? Why don't I know?" Suddenly the little fat man thought of an extremely critical question.

"Is this...... Why are you still with me all day long? Why don't I see you when I or sleep? This exercise is for you, and you will be a genius quickly. Produced by Brother Chen, quality assurance, it's okay to beat Xie Hao after three days!Hurry up and take it back to practice well, don't bother me if you don't understand, there is no after-sales service!" Xie Chen was asked a little heart, hurriedly changed the topic, pushed the little fat man, and ordered the eviction. The adventure or something, it was completely made up by Xie Chen casually, where did he think about the details. The surname Suo didn't answer directly, and let this kid figure it out for himself.

"Oh......" Xie Tuo was so fooled by Xie Chen that the second monk was confused, and he didn't know why Brother Chen, who was fine just now, suddenly lost his temper? In desperation, he had to stand up in a daze, scratch his head and walk outside.

I rub, it seems that I will have to think of a more reliable adventure in the future, it is really troublesome, and I have to make it up with my brain...... After Xie Tuo limped out of the room, Xie Chen let out a sigh of relief, wiping cold sweat and secretly slandering.

"Brother Chen...... What the ......" At this moment, suddenly the door opened, and Xie Tuo's round head appeared at the door again.

"What's the matter with the dead fat man?!Don't disturb my sleep!" Xie Chen asked angrily.

"That...... What is this word reading?" The little fat man stood at the door with a face full of grievances, pointing to a dismantled and miserable word on the paper, and asked in a whisper.

"Bastard, you're a bastard!Eh, didn't I say there is no after-sales service?Why do you still ask?I don't know how to look up the dictionary!" Xie Chen glanced at the broken word and said impatiently.

"Oh, it turned out to be the word 'mixed', I thought it was 'three comparisons',...... This is written...... Alas, I was thrilled with a ......"

"Rub it, this kid, what is it all about?! Get cheap and sell well...... What's wrong with Lao Tzu's handwriting? I think it's pretty good......" Xie Chen's head was full of black lines.

"Whew!"

"Jian Jiu, what are you laughing at?" Hearing a sneer out of thin air in his mind, Xie Chen finally found a person to vent to.
