Chapter 20: Fragments

In the dark night, the silence was gloomy and gloomy, the cold wind howled coldly, and from time to time you could hear the rustle of the leaves in the wind, the snowflakes were still sparsely floating, and the cold mountain road was attached to a layer of snow white. A dark shadow quickly rushed into the gate of Hongyuan Villa, silently.

The candlelight in the room flickered, and Li Muyang sat in front of the bookcase, writing something upset. Paper balls were thrown one after another. At this time, the candle flame on the bookcase shook violently, Li Muyang's brows tightened, and sure enough, the next moment, he saw a person in a black cloak appear in front of him, and a cold air was released in his eyes.

Li Muyang dropped the pen in his hand, and the ink splashed onto the white rice paper, blooming with inky black flowers.

"I am really bold, and I dare to come to me blatantly. ”

The black cloak was not only not deterred by Li Muyang, but also sat down, leisurely picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, as if in his own home, Li Muyang was the guest, and the cold tea entrance said quietly, "When the owner of Li Zhuang stays up late with candles, doesn't he like to drink hot tea? Or, is it that the subordinates are not well taken care of?"

Li Muyang pulled up a sneer, "To put it bluntly, I don't like others beating around the bush the most on weekdays. ”

"Oh, don't like to beat around the bush?" Black Cloak sneered and slammed the teacup on the table, "So he broke into the Hengshan faction without permission, blatantly stole treasures, and seriously injured Li Zifeng and set himself on fire?!"

Li Muyang snorted coldly, and the corners of the black cloak's mouth hooked up a faint murderous aura, "Fortunately, Li Zifeng is fine, otherwise, with Ouyang Ze's temper, I would have to step on your Hongyuan Villa." ”

Li Muyang glanced at the black cloak with cold eyes, and said gloomily, "The strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, don't think that you can point fingers at Hongyuan Villa because of your identity and power!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Muyang felt a suffocating murderous aura attacking, but in an instant, the cold fingers had already choked his neck, and the face of the black cloak was close in front of him, accompanied by a cold voice, "Do you think that with your current strength, you can fight with me? Do you think that you can get rid of me with the seal and order the martial arts? Li Muyang, what you think is too simple, right?"

Li Muyang's face was red, his brows were tightly locked, the suffocation feeling in his neck became more and more obvious, he held the arm of the black cloak with both hands, and still couldn't get rid of the deadly threat, so he had to slow down, "Respect the anger, there is something to say." ”

The black cloak withdrew its cold murderous aura, and Li Muyang coughed a few times before he felt that he had returned from the brink of death.

Seeing Li Muyang's submission, the black cloak smiled with satisfaction, "I like this attitude, Master Li, don't forget, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous, and one is lost." ”

Li Muyang sneered helplessly, "You are not far away, and you sneak in against the wind and snow, just to tell me this?"

"Otherwise?" the black cloak smiled evilly, "this place is not a good place to stay long, and I should go." As he spoke, he looked at the blue and white porcelain teapot on the mahogany round table, which had already cooled, "The weather is getting colder, let's drink hot tea at night! ”

The words landed, and before Li Muyang could react, the black cloak flew away without a trace, and the teacups and teapots that had been moved had also returned to their original places, as if they had never moved.

Li Muyang snorted coldly, he knew in his heart that the black cloak ventured here, what he wanted to say and what he wanted to do, it would never be so simple, at this time, there was a figure floating in, like a ghost, it was the floating shadow acting in secret, the floating shadow saw Li Muyang, but put away his uninhibited appearance in front of Li Shijie, but looked respectful, "Don't worry, my subordinates have sent someone to chase after him." ”

"Good. ”

But all this was seen by Li Shijie, who was hidden in the dark.

The snowflakes finally stopped at noon on the fourth day, and the trees were covered with snow and ice, shining as bright as crystal in the sunlight. The sprinkler in the courtyard is 'brushing' the snow.

In the inner room of the Dan room, the medicinal fragrance is comfortable, the charcoal fire is booming, Li Zifeng is half leaning on the soft couch, his face is still pale, thinking of the decoction he just entered, his stomach turned over the river and the sea, with a stuffy pain in his chest, he wanted to cough but couldn't cough it out, and a slight feeling of suffocation gradually hit.

In the past few days, I was strictly ordered by Elder Ming Su of Yaodan not to get out of bed, not to move, although a little bored, but after recuperation and medication, my consciousness has gradually cleared up, what should be remembered and what should not be remembered, all turned into fragments and poured into my brain, but this throat, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make any sound, not even the sound of the dumb person's 'babbling'.

A few days ago, he was so anxious that he tore off one side of the curtain, overturned the rice bowl, smashed the water bowl, knocked down the stool, threw the pillow, and even threw the quilt on his body to the ground, allowing the cold to invade. I felt a little happier in my heart, but in exchange for the crazy revenge of the unrecovered body, and the preaching of Elder Ming Su of Yaodan.

Today, he finally figured it out, and he didn't want to worry about the waiter cleaning up the mess he had caused over and over again, so he began to try to be quiet, quietly watching the people in the house come and go, and quietly letting Mingsu frequently check his pulse and tongue coating. Eat, drink, and sleep quietly. Finally accepted the fact that he couldn't speak.

But that's okay, Li Zifeng smiled bitterly, at least needless to say, what kind of pain he experienced on the night of the library with a short knife shining with a cold light, and how he desperately endured the suffocation when his cold hand choked his neck. And the owner of those hands was once the only person he could rely on except for his mother.

Li Zifeng's eyes were slightly red, he was young and ignorant at that time, and he always thought that his mother couldn't stand Li Muyang's ruthlessness and the white eyes of his family and left himself to commit suicide, and he used to hate it. But after experiencing the rush of the wind and the night and the despair, and the despair of being killed by his father, he seemed to understand something. What did the intermittent words I heard that night mean? And I am afraid that the only person who knows all this is the owner of Hongyuan Villa, the owner of the village, Li Muyang, the father who only has the meaning of blood!

Thinking of this, Li Zifeng's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred.

'Squeak', the door opened, and the cold wind in winter drifted in with a familiar breath, which made Li Zifeng feel at ease and timid, and there was a rare fragment in his mind that many years ago, Li Muyang led people to break into the Hengshan Sect Library at night and killed Ouyang Ze's wife and unborn child. Therefore, the peace of mind brought by this familiar atmosphere is gradually replaced by timidity and fear.

When he came back to his senses, Ouyang Ze was already sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at him quietly, with steaming porridge in his hand, the familiar fragrance of red dates was very tempting, Li Zifeng looked at it stupidly for a while, and then he reacted to something, and was about to get out of bed to say goodbye, but was pressed back by Ouyang Ze.

Just now I wasn't sure if Li Zifeng remembered everything, but with the reaction just now and the clarity in his eyes that was a little more clear than when he just woke up, Ouyang Ze couldn't help but smile relaxedly, but soon his eyes turned red again, and he choked up, "I remember that when the teacher first brought you back, you also fell asleep for a long time before you woke up, but after you woke up, you didn't say a word, and at that time, Elder Yaodan diagnosed you with amnesia." This accident... Seeing that you are seriously injured and unconscious, and your head is bandaged, the teacher is really afraid, afraid that you will never wake up again, afraid that if you wake up, you will forget everything here. ”

Li Zifeng opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he was succumbed by his sealed throat.

Ouyang Ze scooped a spoonful of porridge and sent it to Li Zifeng's mouth after making sure it wasn't hot, pretending to smile lightly, "Zifeng, don't be too anxious, Elder Yaodan said that you just lost your voice temporarily, and you will slowly recover in time." Do you remember? Back then, the teacher also used this bowl of red date porridge to make you speak. Drink it and maybe you'll be able to talk. ”

Li Zifeng desperately held back the tears in his eyes, and let Ouyang Ze send the sweet hot porridge into his mouth spoonful, greedily enjoying the warmth between master and apprentice. But the paper can't contain the fire, he knows that one day, his life experience will be revealed, what he can do now is to try his best to hide it, so that this warmth will last longer.
