Chapter 85: Uninvited Guest
Another "also".
Chi Yue took out a pack of tissues from his coat pocket, asked him to wipe his tears, and asked, "Did you have a conflict with Chi Anying?" β
"Hmm."
"Why?"
"She wants to go back to Source City." Ji Yunyan did not mention the conversation that night, only the reason for their disagreement and conflict.
Chi Anying and her boyfriend who live in Yuancheng proposed to break up because of a dispute, and after coming to the Taoist temple, she remembered the other party's goodness and was reluctant to separate from him, so she wanted to go back.
But Ji Yunyan disagreed.
First, the man's parents don't like Chi Anying, they always like to pick on her thorns, and she may not be happy with that person; Second, he has experienced roadblocks and robberies, and he thinks that there are too many uncertainties on the road and is unwilling to let her take risks.
"What about you?" Chi Yue didn't comment on Chi Anying's private life, only cared about his thoughts: "Do you want to go back to Source City?" β
"I don't want to."
Ji Yunyan wiped the tears from his eyes.
He wrinkled his eyebrows slightly: "Sister Ying can live with them, but I can't." That family couldn't tolerate me, and I could only share a house with strangers when I returned to Source City, and it was not convenient for me to live. β
"Where did you live before?"
"Stay in a tent."
"Chi Anying doesn't care about you?"
"She can't handle it." If he had followed Chi Anying to live at her boyfriend's house, her boyfriend's parents would have been even more tired of her.
Chi Yue was really convinced.
She saw it more thoroughly than him, and Chi Anying clearly chose a man and gave up on him: "Then you don't care about her." β
Chi Yunyan smiled bitterly and said "um".
Ever since Chi Anying indicated that he was not in his future plans, he knew that sooner or later they would part ways.
She'll fit into that home.
And he ...... will become an outsider.
He lowered the depression that was about to come out of his eyes, and his clenched fists gradually loosened: "But I don't worry about her going alone." β
"You go back and ask her, and if she's sure she's leaving, let her come with us next month."
"Well, thank you, sister."
"Little things." It's just a drop-by.
Chi Yue pulled up his coat, his eyes fell on his red eyes, sighed silently, and then called him into the house.
A burning fire warms a room.
They closed the door, shielded themselves from the cold wind howling outside, and sat on their knees at the fire, chatting to pass the time.

In a blink of an eye, to the end of next month.
The night before I was ready to go to Qingyang for an appointment, the Taoist temple that had not seen outsiders for many days ushered in uninvited guests with evil thoughts.
When the bell on the string rings, everyone is enjoying the roast rabbit meat, which is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a rich aroma.
"Someone's coming." Wen Qizhou, who was the first to catch the sound of the bell, raised his eyes to look at the crowd and motioned for them not to speak.
The main hall fell silent.
The sound of bells and indistinct exclamations reached their ears clearly, and they immediately put down their supper.
"Xiaoqi, you take Xun Song into the basement." Ming Zhangsan walked to the bookshelf in two steps and opened the door to the basement.
Yun Qi didn't dare to delay, picked up Xun Song on his side with one hand, took the candle and lighter and hurried into the basement.
He said, "Master, be careful. β
"Hmm." Ming Zhang told him a few words, closed the door, and crossed the threshold of the main hall with the others with a serious face.
He casually picked up a long stick and asked Wen Yaxian and Xie Changxiao to follow him to the right, while the rest of the people followed Wen Qizhou to the left, approaching the main hall in an outflanking manner.
Wen Qizhou has no opinion.
In order to avoid startling the snake, he did not mean to turn on the flashlight, but relied on the Taoist temple for a long time and had a certain understanding, and walked slowly forward against the wall of the corridor.
Chi Yue, who was half a step behind, stood on tiptoe slightly, holding a gun full of bullets, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment to avoid being attacked by the other party in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
And the Chi Anying sisters and brothers who followed behind them, one with a knife and the other with a stick, made sufficient preparations before the crisis came.
The four of them swept over the strings that surrounded the wall at twice the usual pace, narrowing the distance between them and the main hall little by little.
Suddenly, the light of a flashlight flashed.
Ninety figures standing in front of the incense burner, like them, divided into two groups and approached in the direction they had come.
"This one looks eerie." Someone rubbed his arms twice, staring at the light of the flashlight, not daring to look around.
"What's weird?"
"It's hard to say." The young man turned his head to look in the direction of the main hall: "I always feel that the idol in there is staring at me. β
"How is that possible? You're thinking too much. β
"Really!"
"Hush." The tall man laughed: "Even if he stares, what? Can he still climb out and stop Lao Tzu? β
The young man did not answer his disrespectful words.
He said, "Are you sure that the people who live in the Taoist temple have supplies?" Don't bother for half a day, you won't even see a grain of rice. β
"Lao Tzu has been squatting for two days, what do you say?" He and his younger brother had been on the mountain for two days, and they originally wanted to find a wooden house or cave as a base, but they happened to discover the existence of this Taoist temple.
He smelled the smell of barbecue at that time, so he didn't rush in, but squatted outside the Taoist temple for two days before calling someone to grab it.
"Okay." The young man did not question him anymore, and was bent on staying away from the main hall with the statues: "Let's go quickly." β
"You're too small."
"Speaking of which, I think of ......"
The person at the front was about to tell a terrifying story about the Taoist temple to the young man, when a pair of men's sneakers suddenly appeared in the light of the flashlight around the corner.
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could be sure whether there was an owner on the shoes, the slender figure suddenly broke into view.
A strong wind blows in the face.
Those who failed to respond in time were grabbed by the collar by Wen Qizhou and slammed into the wall.
There was a "bang" sound on the back of his head, and he was dizzy for a while, and he raised his eyes with the pain, only to see a dagger refracted with cold light, nailed towards his neck.
Blood slid down the walls.
The light of the knife brushed Wen Qizhou's cold eyebrows, and he pulled out the dagger that pierced the man's throat, picked up the flashlight that fell to the ground, and hit the light at the other party's three accomplices.
When he did it just now, Chi Yue noticed that the three of them didn't have guns, so he took out the dagger like him, so as not to startle the snake.
She set her sights on the strongest man, swinging her dagger and trying to stab him in the heart, but the man was so agile that he pulled out a fruit knife as he dodged.
They both want each other to die.
Chi Yue leaned back, dodged the fruit knife not far from her neck, and took the opportunity to kick him in the wrist.
When he was unsteady and retreated, she pounced on him with a dagger, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a fierce look in her eyes.
Then he struck his chin with his elbow, pressed the hilt of the knife and dug into his flesh, and when he let out a muffled grunt of pain, he drew his dagger and slashed at his fragile neck.
The next second she solved the tall man, the sister and brother who held the long stick and dagger also sent the remaining two back to the west.
"Bangβ"
A gunshot rang out from the right.
Chi Yue, who didn't know who was shooting, was worried that something would happen to Ming Zhang, so he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Let's go over and take a look." β
