Chapter Twenty-Eight: Acquaintance at First Sight
"Yes! What a coincidence!" Ji Nuan didn't wait for Cheng Xiaorou to answer, and took the lead in speaking.
Tang Yanyan noticed Ji Nuan's existence at this time, all his attention was on Cheng Xiaorou just now, and then he realized that there were still so many Duxi disciples.
Jiang Yu saw Ji Nuan and asked excitedly, "Miss Ji, why are you here?"
Ji Nuan said perfunctorily: "I, by chance, I just happened to meet them and came here together."
"Okay, you didn't tell me when you came to find Senior Sister yourself, I was kicked out to find you by Old Man Tang, are you too selfish." Tang Yanyan made a look of grievance.
Ji Nuan didn't want to tell Kano about it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaorou relieved the siege, "Okay, since the junior brother is here, why don't we eat together first!"
When Tang Yanyan heard this, he immediately sat down next to Cheng Xiaorou excitedly, originally Ji Nuan was opposite Cheng Xiaorou, the two sisters Ruqin and Rumu sat on her right hand, Zhu Changqin and Li Qingyuan sat on her left, and Jiang Yu saw that the table next to her was also full, so she had to sit next to Ji Nuan.
Zhu Changqin was even more displeased, and when he saw Tang Yanyan picking up the vegetables, he immediately pressed it with chopsticks, and Tang Yanyan changed another dish and he held it down again, and Tang Yanyan couldn't bear it anymore after repeating it several times.
"Senior brother, what do you mean"?
"I'm sorry, our dish is only for six people, so you might as well go and eat it next to you"!
"Senior sister, look at him". Tang Yanyan suddenly looked at Cheng Xiaorou coquettishly, with a face full of grievances.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaorou immediately said: "Don't make trouble, there is still something to do after eating!"
Zhu Changqin had no choice but to give up when he heard her say this, but he just looked at Tang Yanyan with unkind eyes, but Tang Yanyan glared back at him triumphantly.
A few people finished their meal in a seemingly harmonious environment. After the meal, Ji Nuan knocked on Cheng Xiaorou's door, "Senior sister, are you there?
Cheng Xiaorou opened the door and welcomed her in and sat down, poured her a glass of water and asked, "Senior Sister Ji has something to say, I'll listen!"
"Well, I'd like to take a look around, I probably won't be with you for a few days." After thinking about it again, Ji Nuan felt that it was better to look around to find a way back, than to wait.
"You're going to find out about the monk's disappearance?
"No, senior sister, you misunderstood, this matter will be solved smoothly with you, I just want to find a place that is very important to me."
"Where, do you need my help"?
"I don't know where that place is, but I'm going to find it so I can go back."
"Go back"?
"Senior sister, there are some things I can't say clearly, but you have to believe me, I won't harm you no matter what."
Cheng Xiaorou took her hand and said softly: "How could I not believe you! I'm just afraid that you won't be safe alone, since you have already decided, then go! Remember to pass on the sound to me if there is anything."
"Thank you, senior sister". Ji Nuan showed a knowing smile, walked to the door and suddenly reluctantly turned back, nodded and left after smiling gently at Cheng Xiaorou.
At night, Zhu Changqin and Cheng Xiaorou wandered on the street with a few disciples, and there were no passers-by on the street. The streets were unusually quiet, except for the occasional barking of dogs, except for the occasional barking of dogs, except for the sound of the cold wind howling.
"Senior sister, we've all gone around and found nothing, so it's better to go back first."
Tang Yanyan was cold and sleepy, originally Zhu Changqin thought he was cumbersome and didn't want him to go with him, but he wanted to come out with Cheng Xiaorou. Cheng Xiaorou couldn't resist him, so he let him go, and Jiang Yu also stayed with them in order to protect his safety.
Ru Mu said disdainfully: "If you are tired, go back first, if you are timid and afraid of things, you can only be a burden here."
"That's it, if you don't come, you have to come, if you encounter demons in your practice, it's not enough for people to eat," Ru Qin said, showing even more disdain.
Tang Yanyan immediately retorted: "What do you two little boys know, I was afraid that you would freeze and put forward the suggestion, I really don't know the hearts of good people."
Ru Mu continued to strike: "Cut, it's obvious that I'm afraid of death."
Cheng Xiaorou immediately comforted: "Okay, don't talk about it, if you are tired, go back first!
The three of them said in unison, "No." Obviously, everyone was not worried about her alone, so they all had to shut up. Cheng Xiaorou shook her head helplessly and continued to move forward. Snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and a few people met Zhu Changqin and his party later. They wandered the streets all night, finding nothing and nothing happening.
"Ahh I'm so sleepy." As soon as Tang Yanyan returned to the inn, he yawned heavily, stretched his waist and touched his bed almost with his eyes closed, and he couldn't care about others at this time.
Zhu Changqin said with concern: "Senior sister, you should also go back and rest first."
"Okay, senior brother, you too." Cheng Xiaorou also went back to her room after speaking.
Everyone went back to their rooms one after another, and the night was a busy day.
Ji Nuan rested all night in a ruined temple, and it seemed that someone had been staying by his side. But when he woke up, except for a dilapidated Buddha statue in the house, there was only a pile of leftover firewood.
Ji Nuan leaned against the stake and fell asleep, feeling that his neck was extremely sore at this time, he rubbed it a few times and got up, and found that there was already a light snow outside the house.
She walked into the snow like this, and her face hurt from the cold wind, but these still couldn't stop her from longing to go home.
Gradually, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and she was already in the suburbs, and there was no one around, not even a place to shelter from the snow.
The snow on the ground quickly piled up, and she stepped on it with a 'snort' sound, and suddenly heard the sound of a piano in front of her.
If someone plays the piano, there must be a place to avoid the snow, and although she is in a hurry to go home, she can't freeze to death in this wilderness right now.
I didn't go far, and what appeared in front of me was a red gazebo, and under the red gazebo sat a red back. He was playing leisurely, ignoring the snow and the biting wind.
Ji Nuan couldn't see his appearance, but judging from the back, this person had a beautiful posture, long hair and waist-length, and he must be a woman.
Ji Nuan stopped at a meter away and asked, "Can this girl let Ji Nuan avoid the snow here, I'm really sorry to disturb the girl's purity."
"Ahem...", a violent cough sound, Ji Nuan knew that he was not a woman.
"I'm sorry Childe, I thought ...". Ji Nuan knew that she had said the wrong thing, and turned around to leave, how could she be embarrassed to continue to stay for such an embarrassing thing.
"Come in, girl, the snow is too heavy, be careful of catching a cold." Mo Yun got up and looked at last Ji Nuan's back.
Ji Nuan hesitated for a moment and walked over. The man in front of him is slender, white-skinned, and affectionate, and he looks three points more beautiful than a woman.
"Childe, it's Ji Nuan who is abrupt, I'm really sorry."
"Ji Nuan, but the disciple of Duxi Meifeng"?
"Yes, Childe knows me, why don't I remember Childe." Ji Nuan touched her head in confusion, she didn't remember who he was, but her appearance added a little cuteness.
"I don't know, but I've heard your name, it's cold, I have wine here to warm up, girl want to try it"? Mo Yun shook the wine in front of her eyes, and the smile on his face was like the March sunshine warming people's hearts.
"Thank you for your kindness, Ji Nuan doesn't drink, I'm really sorry."
Mo Yun didn't force it, and after taking a sip alone, he coughed again, "Ahem..."
"Childe is not well, it is better to drink less, I have some medicine here to replenish qi and blood, if Childe does not dislike it, you can try it."
Ji Nuan handed over a medicine bottle, which was brought to her by Cheng Xiaorou after being stabbed by Yu Man before, and she kept it on her body.
"The girl has ever heard of a person, his name is Mo Yun." Mo Yun didn't take the medicine bottle, but asked about himself.
"Mo Yun, but Sect Master Mo Yun of Qinzhou, I heard about it yesterday. The world said that he did nothing and was not worthy to be in charge of Qinzhou."
"What does that girl think"?
"I don't know him, how can I speculate, but since he is the sect master, he must not be as unbearable as the world says."
"Hehe, the sect master, it's just a title, a person who has been abolished and cultivated and expelled from Dusk Creek is naturally disgraced by the world."
"Childe knows him"?
"Don't you know, do you want to know why he was abolished and expelled from the school?"
Ji Nuan didn't have much interest in Mo Yun's affairs, but the matter of Duxi and the heavy snow didn't mean to stop, and the two were in the same place, so it would be really embarrassing if there was no topic to talk about. Besides, she didn't want to sweep away people's interest, and then replied: "If the son is willing to tell him, Ji Nuan will naturally listen."
Mo Yun talked about everything that happened five years ago, and before he knew it, it was past noon.
Ji Nuan listened to the whole story, and only felt that the people of Duxi were too extreme. She didn't expect that Song Wangchen didn't intercede for Mo Yun at all, but with his temperament, he didn't go to the cold spring to turn the snake demon out and kill him.
"Does the girl also think that Mo Yun deserves it"?
"How come, I think Zhizhuzun is too pedantic, and he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. In fact, demons and humans must be good and bad, since she has never hurt anyone, why do you have to put her to death. It's just that this Mo Yun is the only one who understands Dusk, but it's a pity that he didn't end up with a good ending in the end, which is really sad."
"In the past few years, you are the only one who thinks that Mo Yun is right, for thousands of years, every demon in the Xianmen has been punished, and no one has ever cared about right and wrong."
"Yes, it turns out that Duxi is the same, no wonder Song Wangchen is so ruthless."
"Ruthless, I see that the girl misunderstood, Mo Yun never blamed him, but he was the only person I admired."
"You are Mo Yun, why are you talking to me about this?" Ji Nuan only reacted at this time, fortunately he didn't slander him just now.
"Exactly, the girl regrets saying so much with me"?
"How could it be?" A righteous person who dares to risk the world's inaction, she admires from the heart.
"Haha... , the girl is really different from ordinary people, no wonder she can enter his heart."
Ji Nuan was a little puzzled, and was about to ask again. A carriage stopped outside the pavilion, and Mo An jumped out of the car and saluted Mo Yun: "Sect Master, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, we should go back."
Mo Yun looked at the snow in the sky and nodded, and then said to Ji Nuan: "Miss Ji, it seems that this snow will not stop today, or the girl will leave with Mo Yun?"
Ji Nuan looked at the heavy snow, then at Mo Yun, nodded and got into the carriage with him and left.
