Chapter 5: Night and Morning

On the fourth day of the lunar month last year, the cold air that swept in from the northwest brought goose feathers and heavy snow. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Humane Yanshan snowflakes are as big as a seat, Li Mu has never seen a snowflake as big as a seat, but in his impression, last year's snow was the largest snow he had ever seen.

At the end of the day, he got up early. Breaking the ice to lift well water and making tea soup in the stove are the things Li Mu does most often before dawn in winter.

When the tea soup was boiling, Li Mu walked to the door and opened the door.

The sprinkling of snowflakes on his face made Li Mu suddenly feel the breath of winter. However, in the midst of that snowflake, there is a mass of things that makes people extremely concerned.

A snowball was piled up next to the threshold of the house.

It was a cold winter night, and it was still completely dark. No urchin came out to push snowballs so early. So Li Mu stepped forward and touched it.

He was stunned to realize that it wasn't a snowball, it was a person. Dressed in a snow-white mink fur, a girl curled up in a ball.

In this way, Li Mu met Ning Zhitong.

At that time, Ning Zhitong ran out of the night in a fit of anger because he resisted the Wang family's proposal to come to the door. Originally, she just wanted to threaten her father Ning Xibai. I didn't think about running away from home.

Unexpectedly, it snowed more at night, and Ning Zhitong, who rarely went out, got lost in the city.

Ningfu is in the west of the city, and Li Ji is in the east of the city.

Because of the heavy snow in the middle of the night, the people sent by the Ning Mansion to look for her did not find a little girl wearing a snow-white sable fur in the snow.

Ning Zhitong stopped and stopped in the middle of the night, stumbling. I walked like this for most of the night, and I was hungry and thirsty. At this time, because Li Mu got up early to prepare tea and soup, the lights that Li Ji lit up became the hope in Ning Zhitong's heart.

Ning Zhitong came to the door.

Li Mu just opened the door.

So Li Mu also saw her, and she also saw Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at Ning Zhitong's somewhat bruised lips, and felt an urge of pity for no reason. "Come in and have a drink. Li Mu said.

In the midst of the heavy snow, there is a warm lamp and a young man with a warm smile on his face.

The boy said he wanted to treat himself to a drink.

Although Ning Xibai has been warning Ning Zhitong all year round, he must be on guard against anyone or anything. But Ning Zhitong looked at Li Mu's smile, but he didn't think of his father's words at all. She took a step and walked into the Li Kee Teahouse.

Li Mu made her a cup of freshly opened tea. Tea is not a good quality, but it is steaming. Take a sip, and the whole body will also warm up. Ning Zhitong held the teacup in his hand, and his heart was full of warmth. So even with a smile, it warmed up.

It was that smile, on that coldest snowy night, that made everything beautiful.

A pair of bright eyes smiled like a moon. The rosy lips are pursed tightly because they want to be ladylike and smile without showing their teeth. Two pear swirls dotted on the white cheeks. It added a bit of cute and playful flavor to Ning Zhitong. I have to say that Ning Zhitong is very beautiful. When she laughed, it was like a pool of pure brew, which made Li Mu intoxicated

It was this kind of smile that captured Li Mu's heart at the first glance when Li Mu saw Ning Zhitong.

"Zhitong ......" Li Mu, who was asleep, recalled the time when he first saw Ning Zhitong, he muttered, turned over, and did not wake up.

There was only one crescent moon in the night sky, and the moonlight faintly shone on the earth, and also illuminated the dreams of the dreamers.

It was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful night.

If the fire didn't start, and the shouting and killing didn't come, maybe Li Mu would still be able to sleep until dawn. However, he was still awakened by the sound wafting in through the window.

"Yawn, what's going on?" Li Mu rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the window.

His room was on the second floor of the Li Kee Teahouse, in a utility room to the north. Half of the utility room is full of all kinds of miscellaneous items, and the other half is Li Mu's bed and the only window.

Blown by the night wind, Li Mu was a little more sober. He looked out the window and saw that the northwest fires were everywhere, reflecting half of the sky. The sound of human gongs is very clear in this quiet night sky.

"Gone to the water?" The first thing Li Mu thought of was that there was a fire somewhere in the city. It's summer, the weather is hot, and it's not once or twice that the city walks on the water. Looking at the location, the location of the fire is located in Dongjiao Lane, where there are post stations and embassies, but there are very few private houses.

The Qinglian Water Dragon Club is near Dongjiao Lane, so it should be no big deal.

Li Mu returned to bed and fell asleep.

At the end of the next day, the sky was shining with a little white light, and Li Mu got up early. As usual. Get up, wash up, and make tea.

According to the past, after three minutes, there will be more talents. Unexpectedly, the tea was not yet hot, and guests came to the Li Ji Teahouse.

Uncle Yao Ling, the Fang Zheng of Dongcheng Fang, took six Fang Ding and walked into the Li Ji Teahouse together.

"Wood, make a pot of tea, bring us some tea cakes to eat. Uncle Yao Ling's face was tired, and his spirit was also a little sleepy.

Li Mu answered, and brought the tea soup first. "Uncle Ling, where did you go to the water last night?

Uncle Yao Ling took a cup of tea and sighed slowly, "If we go to the water, the people of our own Water Dragon Club will deal with it, and they won't let us stay all night." ”

"Oh, isn't it water?"

"No! there are thieves attacking the embassy!" said Uncle Yao Ling with a hint of disbelief.

When Li Mu heard this, he was also stunned.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the conversation between Mao Golang and Bu Yanjun yesterday. Messenger of the South Seas, Shark Pearl of the East China Sea. The embassy is the residence of the envoy, so what those thieves want must be that tribute!

"What kind of thief, so bold?" Li Mu was a little curious about who the people who attacked the embassy were.

Uncle Yao Ling blew on the tea soup, took a sip, and then said: "Ghost knows where so many people come from, all of them can do martial arts." That's a group of people in the black press, I don't think there is a hundred or eighty, and there is this number. Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked the fangs of these squares in the city to go to support overnight. ”

"Huh?"

"Otherwise, how can it be said to be an attack?"

"Then what happened later, did you repel them?" Li Mu was also very curious about the so-called thieves. Because he thought of the strangers on the street in the last two days. Those people knew by their faces and physique that they weren't from Honshu, and most of them were carrying long strips of packages and boxes. It must be a weapon.

"Of course. When Uncle Yao Ling mentioned this, his eyebrows fluttered. "Wood, you know. Those thieves attacked at night, and it was difficult to resist them with the strength of the embassy alone. But who would have thought that this would be a bureau! Martial Arts Academy Grandmaster, Ning Xibai, Bu Yanjun. The Martial Arts Academy and two of the thirteen leaders joined forces to arrange it, what a big game! I almost wiped out those people!"

"What!" When Li Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked all over his body, and he was leisurely fascinated.

"Hehe, I'm scared. I was scared to death. Unexpectedly, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, the thieves lost their armor and ran away!" Uncle Yao Ling finally waited until the tea soup became cold and took a sip beautifully.

At this time, Li Lie had also gotten up, and he brought the hot tea cake from the kitchen. "It's as if you did it. As he spoke, he placed the tea cake on the table.

Uncle Yao Ling didn't like to hear this, "I said Lao Li, you can't say that." We eat the food of the house, although the martial arts are not as good as those grandmasters of the martial arts academy, and even less than the thirteen leaders, but we are always eating this mouthful, and we will not run away from what we should do. “

"Heh, I don't know you Lao Yao yet, oh, you have worked hard this night, I invite you to this breakfast. "Li Lie is not a person who can't do business, so he pushed the boat down the river and gave Lao Yao a favor.

The two chatted about gossip, and Li Mu looked at the sky. Go out to Mr. Su's school.

Mr. Su's name is Su Benchang, the word Shengping, and the number is painted as an idle layman. Born in a family of poetry and books, but unfortunately when he was young, the elders of the family were involved in the case of Yuwang's rebellion and were investigated and punished. So he had to leave the city and move to Yinlian County.

Because of this incident, Su Benchang was also implicated, even if he was famous in the literary world, he was not allowed to enter the ranks. So Su Benchang when he was young was also depressed.

When he is middle-aged, he can be considered to see a little. He borrowed the space of his home and opened a private school. In addition to being able to collect some bundles to supplement the family, he can also be regarded as benefiting the neighborhood. Most of the children in Chengdongfang have opened and learned words in Mr. Su's school.

Mr. Su's school was renovated from his original home. It is located in the easternmost part of the city, near the Quli River outside the city. This location is relatively remote, and the traffic is a little inconvenient, but it is better than the elegant environment. For this reason, Mr. Su also took a nickname, called Painting Xian Yaxu.

Li Mu trotted away from home to the school. Because he wakes up early, he is often the first to arrive. However, after being taught by Bu Yanjun yesterday on the method of qi induction, Li Mu wanted to try to combine exercise with qi training. In the process of running, the breath is controlled by the breathing method recorded in the method of breath induction.

When Li Mu ran before, he had never tried to adjust his breathing rhythm. I tried it today, but I was in a mess. The originally familiar journey, but today, it took a lot of time, and I was even more red-faced, almost out of breath.

"Hey, wood, why are you so late today?" Zeng Xiaopu saw Li Mu at the door of the school, and immediately came up to say hello loudly.

Li Mu pushed him away with some disgust, "You puppy, I haven't settled accounts with you yesterday!"

"What are you doing with me, I didn't do anything to be sorry for you!" Zeng Xiaogou argued.

"Cut, let's go, I'm annoyed. Li Mu pretended to be impatient and waved his hand.

Zeng Xiaopu put his face over and said with a smile: "Don't, I originally wanted to have good news for you." I'm going to leave like this. ”

"Your Ning Zhitong is here. ”

"Huh, Zhitong, she's here?"

"Yes, I brought a fairy. What does that look like...... Gee...... It's so Peugeot!" Zeng puppy looked fascinated. "I said wood, you must introduce me!"
