Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strange Old Man
The old mansion was wide and deep, and the fight hidden in the shadows did not stir up much movement. Dense and muffled sounds did not disturb the moonlight.
The winter night is long, and the warm kang head is the happiest place. If there is nothing important, who is willing to stay in the cold wind of this cold night, who will care about the unusual in the deep house. But there was such an idler, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and actually held a wine jug, hidden in the dark place on the roof, watching every move below.
Suddenly, the man jumped up, pierced the night sky with a clear roar, and slowly fell from the roof, and in a few ups and downs came to the courtyard where the fight was fighting.
Shocked by the long roar, the man in black suddenly separated, staring straight at the person who came and did not answer.
The person who came was an old man with gray hair, about sixty years old, and I saw him drinking wine and looking at the two of them with a smile, and said, "Little thieves, you dare to go wild in the old man's place?"
As he spoke, he suddenly burst into shape, and swept to both sides with lightning strikes.
The men in black were both alert and quickly retreated. But the old man's palm wind was avoided by them, but the arrows that could rush out of his sleeves arrived in front of them. In the thrill, the two of them did not change their shapes, and narrowly dodged the arrows, but their scarves were taken down by the arrows at the stall where they were dodging.
"Hahaha, we can only talk if we show our true faces!" The old man seemed very happy, and even more proud of his newly successful move.
The face towel fell, revealing a familiar face to both of them.
"It's ...... you"
Seeing each other's faces clearly, the two of them were stunned. Different voices, but the same intonation, the same surprise.
"You ......"
Again, they spoke in unison, but this time, the two of them stopped talking in unison.
The two black-clothed men were none other than Mo Langyue, who came to Beijing, and the other was Xiao Chengfeng, who appeared in Guiyunzhuang a few days ago.
Seeing each other, the two of them were shocked in their hearts, and their eyes changed to explore each other, but the look of surprise on their faces only flashed briefly and then calmed down.
Mo Langyue didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and the other party's surname was Xiao, which is worth exploring.
When the Xiao Mansion was robbed, it seems that no one escaped. On that day, Qin Gu and the others planned to rob the law field to save people, but at that time, they were on an errand with Jinyi Guard, and there were 500 good hands, and they did not succeed after a bloody battle. On the contrary, the agitated supervisor immediately gave an order, and dozens of people in the poor Xiao Mansion were killed by random arrows on the spot. Isn't it strange how could there be a person surnamed Xiao?
Mo Langyue silently looked at Xiao Chengfeng, and Xiao Chengfeng didn't look at him carefully.
Seeing Mo Langyue, the shock in Xiao Chengfeng's heart was not small. It is no accident that he came here, if there is no connection, who would run to an almost abandoned mansion in the middle of the night, is it a black light blind moon view?
I saw two handsome young men, and they also had different expressions, each with a ghost fetus. The old man couldn't help laughing.
"It's actually two young men, and they seem to know each other, so it's much easier to do. The old man seemed to think for a while, and then said, "Tell me, what are you doing in the old mansion?"
Mo Langyue and Xiao Chengfeng couldn't help but glance at each other, but neither planned to answer.
"Dumb?"
After waiting for a while, the old man saw that they were still reluctant to speak, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "If you don't keep quiet, then the old man will take you to see the official.
Seeing that there was no way to shirk at this time, Mo Langyue had to step forward, clenched her fists respectfully, and said: "Please don't misunderstand, uncle, just now the junior was chasing a burglar, and he broke into the house after chasing him, which is really offensive." ”
"Is that so?"
The old man didn't seem to believe his words, and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Mo Langyue said "yes" righteously!
The old man's expression was obviously disbelieving, but he nodded indifferently. Then he turned his head to Xiao Chengfeng and asked with a smile: "What about you?"
Xiao Chengfeng smiled and said humbly: "Uncle said that he laughed, how can it be exactly the same here." Of course, the younger generation is not chasing people, but ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that the younger generation was alone but was suddenly chased and blocked, but his skills were not as good as others, so he could only run away. I didn't expect to be chased into this house, and I asked the old man not to be surprised if he was offended. ”
Listening to these two people, a strange look gradually appeared on the old man's face. He looked at Mo Langyue playfully, then at Xiao Chengfeng, and suddenly let out an 'oh', and then said seriously: "After talking for a long time, Lao Er can be regarded as understanding, you two just broke in by mistake." One is chasing people into the house, and the other is chasing people into the house in a panic, don't you say?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Xiao Cheng hurriedly responded as if he was delighted.
The old man smiled: "In this case, the old man is strange, did the two of you discuss wearing night clothes together?"
Xiao Chengfeng stepped forward with a smile and said, "Uncle, look at this midnight, it is good for the juniors to sneak out of the door by dressing like this, otherwise you will not be able to see the juniors." ”
"Boy, what are you doing sneaking out in the middle of the night if you don't sleep well?"
"Uncle, of course it's something ..... can't say. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Chengfeng seemed a little embarrassed, and his expression was ambiguous and he didn't dare to look directly. But at the moment when he lowered his eyes slightly, he secretly glanced at Mo Langyue, and saw that he had been staring at the old man, and he didn't seem to listen to what he said.
"Can't you really say?"
"Absolutely can't say!"
The old man turned his head to look at Mo Langyue, Mo Langyue's eyes flickered, but he still nodded.
"That's good!" the old man sighed impatiently, smiled, and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, and I'll let you go back." ”
"Thank you......"
"Don't, don't rush to thank you first, Lao Er still has something to say. You can go back, but tomorrow you have to go to the Lu Ji Teahouse in the north of the city, where Lao Er will wait for the two little brothers. If you don't stop overtime, then wait for the city to be wanted!"
After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for a reply, he jumped on the roof lightly, and disappeared into the darkness in an instant. It seems that he is not afraid of them not breaking the appointment at all.
When the old man walked away, Xiao Chengfeng looked back at Mo Langyue for a long time, and suddenly said: "Brother Tai's young skills are really good, it's not simple!"
"Brother Tai is not a simple person!"
After saying that, Mo Langyue smiled slightly, nodded at Xiao Chengfeng, and jumped on the roof and headed towards the west.
Xiao Chengfeng stood in the courtyard for a long time, and he felt bored, so he also dodged and left.
In the dead of night, I don't know how many secrets have been hidden in this huge old mansion, but now there is little life, and I don't know how much can be left.
