Chapter 6: Knowing the Dead
"You are?"
Mu Zifeng raised his head suspiciously, looking at the woman in front of him.
"It's really you! Brother Zifeng. How did I end up here? Did you save me?"
"You were poisoned by that giant reckless one, I brought you back, the poison has been removed, you are fine, but you need to rest for a few days, heal your injuries, and restore your spiritual power. But, girl, we don't seem to have met, and you call me so intimately that I don't even know who you are. ”
Mu Zifeng was stunned, the woman in front of her was a little familiar, but she really didn't seem to know her.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zifeng, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Five years ago, after my uncle's accident, we haven't seen each other again. ”
The woman's pale face smiled, and she said softly.
Mu Zifeng approached, sat down, stared at the beauty in front of him, the appearance of that smile, he thought about it, and said in surprise: "You are Zhou Wanqing!"
"You remember, you've forgotten me for so long, alas!" said the woman, slightly resentful.
Mu Zifeng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "No, it's just that after so many years, your appearance has changed so much, I didn't recognize it for a while."
"Uh-huh, I guessed it, just teasing you. But after all these years, you still look the same as before. ”
Zhou Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled.
He continued to speak: "I already recognized you when you killed that demon beast and saw you, but at that time, in front of those two people, I couldn't tell your identity. How have you been doing all these years? And how did you come to this Foothill Mountains?"
"It's so-so, life is still good, there is nowhere to go after my father dies, I want to come here to experience it, a little cultivation, so that I can use it to protect myself. ”
Mu Zifeng replied with a smile.
Zhou Wanqing sighed and said sadly: "I'm sorry, I made you think of something sad, uncle's matter, I also heard about it, a few days ago, the Mu family sent a message that my uncle died a few days ago because he lost his cultivation and was sick for many years." ”
"It's nothing, I've figured it out, life and death are fateful, and it's hard to change. It's just that the Mu family has a saying, which surprised me. Mu Zifeng smiled bitterly.
"Brother Zifeng, do you know, I heard that Grandpa Mu reached an agreement with the ancestor of the Mu family in order to let his uncle resume his cultivation and continue to be the head of the Mu family, and then Grandpa Mu had no news. ”
"Why haven't I heard?"
"I also overheard what my father and a few guests said, in short, several ancestors of the Mu family should have agreed. But after that, the Mu family didn't have any news about you and your uncle, and my father went to look for my uncle, but there was no result, and he was prevaricated by your second uncle. ”
Mu Zifeng thought to himself: Yes, my father and I were probably sent to that small bungalow by him at that time.
looked at Zhou Wanqing, didn't answer, nodded and waited for the following.
"Suddenly, the news was sent that my uncle had passed away and that a new head of the family was to be appointed. I was worried at the time, but now I'm relieved to see you. ”
"The new head of the family, my second uncle?"
Wanqing nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that in a few days, he will officially become the head of the family and hold a banquet." ”
"Don't talk about that, Wanqing, why did you come here? ”
Mu Zifeng sighed and asked with a chuckle.
"I come here every few days to practice, and today I met the two of them and was invited to join, because I had met that Liu Gongzi a few times before, he was from the Liu family, and Zhou Min was my cousin, so I agreed. Zhou Wanqing replied.
Then he added: "However, in the periphery, there are generally no low-level and mid-level demon beasts, and except for the demon beasts that live in groups, there will not be so many, I don't know why? ”
"Of course, there will definitely be no such situation on weekdays, but today you are with a member of the Liu family, so this kind of thing will happen, think about it carefully. ”
"You said that Liu Wanzhou made a ghost, so did you follow behind all the time, and then came out to save me? But why did you only save me, but not Zhou Min?"
Wanqing was puzzled, but a smile spread across her face when she said that.
Mu Zifeng looked at her smile, and had to smile bitterly and said, "Because Zhou Min is not worth saving, that kind of person, it is not a pity to die." And I liked what you did at the time, so I took a shot. ”
Wanqing glanced at him in disappointment, and then said: "I also found out his killing intent towards Zhou Min, although I don't like this cousin either, but I won't kill her so cruelly, right?
"I think he should need someone to help him prove that Zhou Min died of the demon beast, and it also means that he is trying his best to protect it, it just so happens that you are a good witness, but I am curious why you killed Zhou Min?"
Mu Zifeng lowered his head, revealing contemplation.
continued: "Although this matter has nothing to do with me, but Liu Wanzhou probably already recognized me as a person who must be killed, I think he has guessed that I saved you from the demon beast, and I know that I found out that he deliberately killed Zhou Min, and you are also in his plan, this matter still needs to be clarified." ”
"I've always heard that the two of them love each other, and they had a marriage contract before, but now this has happened, and Liu Wanzhou has always given the impression of a gentleman with good manners, but now he personally buried his lover in the mouth of the demon beast. It's unimaginable, Brother Zifeng. ”
Zhou Wanqing sighed, obviously shocked by a usually righteous and awe-inspiring person who did something behind his back to kill his lover.
"As a woman, you should not believe the surface of the men around you. Always being on guard against others is also a kind of responsibility for yourself. Wanqing!"
Mu Zifeng said to Zhou Wanqing.
"Brother Zifeng, you don't have to worry about this, except for you, I have always been very indifferent to other men. ”
The corners of Zhou Wanqing's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes stared at Mu Zifeng.
Mu Zifeng didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow his head and smile and touch his forehead.
Changed the subject and said: "Oh, this meat is almost baked, Wanqing, I'll help you get some, your body needs to be replenished." ”
After that, he was busy avoiding Zhou Wanqing's gaze and went to prepare food.
Zhou Wanqing looked at the young man in front of her, still as before, with a delicate face and clean eyes, she couldn't stand the teasing, covered her mouth and laughed.
Thoughts drifted to the time when the two first met.
"Feng'er, come over and see you, this is your Uncle Zhou. ”
Mu Yetang said to Mu Zifeng behind him.
The little Mu Zifeng stepped forward cautiously. Bow down and say, "I've seen Uncle Zhou." ”
A little girl's head poked out from behind her, and the middle-aged man surnamed Zhou touched her head dotingly, and said to her: "Qing'er, don't make trouble, go over and say hello to your Uncle Mu." ”
The little girl looked at it curiously, thinking: what a good little boy. walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Mu is good!"
The two men laughed and said to the two children, "You two, go out by yourself for a while, we have something to discuss." ”
The little girl directly took Xiao Mu Zifeng's hand and ran outside.
Xiao Mu Zifeng broke free of her hand and said solemnly: "My father said that men and women can't kiss each other, so they can't hold hands like this." ”
The girl laughed and said, "That's a man and a woman, we're children now, there's no such thing." ”
The boy asked suspiciously, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course, I won't lie, what's your name, my name is Zhou Wanqing. ”
"My name is Mu Zifeng, I'll take you to see our Mu family. ”
"Okay!"
Xiao Mu Zifeng took the initiative to take her hand, and the Mu family was full of them playing.
"What are you thinking, so obsessed?"
"Ah, nothing!"
Mu Zifeng, who was holding the barbecue, looked at it suspiciously, and the woman's face gradually turned red.
