In the corridor of the Zhou family's mansion, it was very quiet.

Perhaps because there were no windows or doors in the corridors, the noisy cries of the market streets seemed to be out of the clouds, and the mansions in the courtyard were completely undisturbed and clean.

But although it is clean, if it is too much, you can't smell a trace of fireworks, and you can't see a touch of sunshine, it will make people feel a little lonely - especially at this moment when the two of them are walking silently one after the other.

Bai Yi raised his eyes and looked at the young man in the yin and yang robe who was walking half a step in front of his right.

The boy was thin, half a head shorter than the white clothes, and he looked like he had just reached the age of bundling his hair. Perhaps it was because the boy was still young, and although the contours of his face were similar to those of the master of the family, he did not have their charm—that is, the boy did not look like a person with a cold temperament and a cold attitude.

And this made Bai Yi, who was unwilling to be lonely, open his mouth.

"Ahem. Wang Manxiu coughed and smiled at him: "Your Zhou family is really good, there are both seven heroes and three saints, today is really an eye-opener for Xiaosheng." ”

The young man was slightly stunned, immediately raised his head sideways, pursed his lips and responded, "Your Excellency...... The seniors have won the prize. Today's seniors, I ...... The younger generation is also admired. ”

"Hahaha, you don't have to be so polite to Xiaosheng. Bai Yi saw the restraint of the young man, and smiled: "Today, Xiaosheng is so taken care of by the head of the family, if you want to be polite, it should be polite." ”

After saying that, Bai Yi brushed his sleeves and bowed his hand, and said in a greeting: "See Zhou Gongzi." ”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Don't be, the seniors just call me Zhou Huan and Zhou Huan." ”

Bai Yi raised his lips and smiled, and also said: "Then, please don't have to be restrained, and call Xiaosheng's name the best." ”

The young man pondered for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Wang Manxiu?"

Bai Yi smiled lightly, and said lightly: "Zhou Huan." ”

The boy blinked, smiled, and his face was a little shy. When he first met Wang Manxiu on the Yin-Yang Stage, Zhou Huan heard the rumors, thinking that this white cloth was just a villain who didn't know what to do, and his own family led the wolf into the house to teach him some rules; This back and forth made Zhou Huan completely unsure of what attitude to talk to this white cloth.

However, now that Wang Manxiu spoke politely and was willing to take the initiative to close the distance with him, he finally let the stone in Zhou Huan's heart fall to the ground. It seems that the people in this strange sect whose skills are close to Dacheng are not all indifferent and indifferent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huan was no longer as restrained as before, and his usual hippie smile appeared on his face, looking up at Bai Yi, and said curiously: "Wang Manxiu, who are you? Say it in advance, don't answer that it is an ordinary person......! The head of the family, Zisha Tianmen, how can there be ordinary people!"

Bai Yi smiled and replied softly: "Actually, the rumors about me in Meng Yue City in the past two days are not too outrageous. ”

The young man was taken aback: "Hey, you are really the Xuanshi of the Military Martial Dragon Mansion?"

“...... No, this is nonsense. Wang Manxiu shrugged helplessly and said, "I mean, the 'Pingshui White Clothes'. ”

The boy nodded thoughtfully as he walked.

He raised his hand, cupped his cheeks and thought for a moment, and muttered in a low voice, "Pingshui is white...... Pingshui ...... Why do you always feel so familiar?"

Although Zhou Huan's voice was soft, Bai Yi, who was only half a step away, could hear what he said.

Wang Manxiu raised the iron sword in his hand slightly, stopped his steps, turned his hand and said softly: "By the way, Zhou Huan, I have something to ask for." ”

The young man was stunned, and immediately stopped and turned around, and said a little nervously: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it first, if you want me to go with Brother Yi and you to help the family tomorrow morning, forget it...... I don't want to see that old monster who is neither male nor female anymore!"

"Haha, no, no, it's not such a big deal. Bai Yi laughed a few times, took half a step forward, leaned over slightly, and said, "I just want to ask, can I ask you to help me take a tour of this Zhou's compound before I go to the secluded room?"

Wang Manxiu turned his face sideways, and then raised his eyes to look at the top of the corridor that was more than a foot tall: "I'm ashamed to say that in a big mansion like the Zhou family, Xiao Sheng is really a little lonely and unheard of, and I haven't seen it much...... So I thought, can I open my eyes today?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Huan had already raised his hand and patted his chest, and said arrogantly: "Hey! That's it! What is this! No problem! Let's go!"

Bai Yi smiled, and just wanted to flick his sleeves to say thanks, but he was pulled away by the young man.

......

Along the way, Zhou Huan was full of enthusiasm, his mouth seemed to be as if he didn't need to stop, and he introduced the decoration style of his home to the white clothes, floor by floor, and room by room as he walked. The Zhou family attaches great importance to yin and yang, and also attaches importance to metaphysical feng shui, and some seemingly ordinary layouts and furnishings are actually in line with the yin and yang doctrine of 'negative yin and yang' and 'seeking good fortune and avoiding evil'.

Bai Yi, who was very enthusiastic, only knew a rough idea of metaphysical feng shui, but when he heard what the young man said, he nodded again and again, no matter how complicated Zhou Huan spoke and how difficult the terminology used, Bai Yi's face always looked like relish.

The decoration of the house was almost finished, and Zhou Huan began to talk about the family history again. He said, our Zhou family has a history of 800 years, which is a hundred years longer than the real Dragon Guozuo. In the past 800 years, the status of the Zhou family in Qimen has always been pivotal, and at one time, it was the dominant and dominant leader for hundreds of years - now it accounts for one of the three saints and seven heroes, and it is like a cloud in the sky compared with the general Qimen family, but if it is compared with the Zhou family a hundred years ago, it is actually like that, it is not unprecedented.

Bai Yi was amazed when he heard it, saying that although he knew Qimen, he was not a Qimen person, and today in the Yin Yang Platform and Zisha Room, he felt that the Zhou family was an extraordinary Qimen family, but he didn't expect it to be so rare. Then, he was a bunch of praise words such as 'good life' and 'Qimen leader', and he scratched his neck embarrassedly when he praised Zhou Huan.

After talking about the glorious history of the predecessors and ancestors, I want to talk about the current family. Wang Manxiu saw the opportunity and said that he heard that Zhou Huan had been calling Zhou Yi 'Brother Yi' before, and that the two of them had a lot of respect for the head of the Zhou family in the Zisha House, so he asked curiously and asked the head of the Zhou family, what was the relationship between Zhou Li, who had always had a serious and cold face, and them.

In fact, Bai Yi knew it in his heart. Zhou Huan's mouth was fast before, and he couldn't help but call Zhou Li directly'd', what other relationship could it be. It's just that Wang Manxiu is slightly puzzled by the words and deeds of Zhou Yi and Zhou Huan, it seems that Zhou Li doesn't want the two to call them 'father', but to call them 'family heads'. is not a white cloth from Qimen, I don't know if this kind of behavior is strange in Qimen, so I asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this question came out, it actually made Zhou Huan, who had been smiling all the time, frown.

The young man's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but as if he didn't know whether to say it or not, he swallowed it back.

Wang Manxiu saw that he was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to divert the topic with a sentence of praise that 'the head of the Zhou family is full of luck, not angry and self-assured, good and oppressive, and worthy of being called the three saints', when he suddenly heard a cold female voice, which came into his ears.

"The head of the house is the head of the house. ”

A young woman carrying a basket of blood-stained blue robes stood behind the two.

Zhou Huan immediately turned around and exclaimed, "Ah, sister, why are you here?"

Wang Manxiu also turned sideways and made a compilation at Zhou Yun, who was dressed in a white border and black robe, with a dignified and atmospheric posture.

Zhou Yun bowed his knees in return, raised the bamboo basket in his hand slightly, and said to the young man: "The guests have already rested, I will go and send these clothes to the Huansha room and let Wang Ma help wash them." ”

Zhou Huan let out an 'oh-' and nodded. Wang Ma is the housekeeper, and the servants listen to her.

Bai Yi bowed his head, looked at the bloodstains on the Dao robe in the basket, frowned and pursed his lips: "I'm sorry...... I'm still a little heavier. ”

Zhou Yun blinked and smiled lightly: "No matter how heavy it is, it can't be as heavy as that heavenly thunder." ”

Man Xiu was stunned, and when he raised his eyes, the woman had already returned the salute lightly and left with the basket.

He blinked, touched the back of his head, and smiled wryly.

......

The Zhou family's mansion is five stories high, with a five-story main house, a four-story Tingfeng Pavilion, a three-story purple sand house, and dozens of rooms on the first and second floors. And Zhou Huan, who is enthusiastic and upright, heard that Bai Yi wanted to visit the mansion, so he wanted to open every room in person, and lead Bai Yi to observe it: from the study, guest room, to bedroom, tea room, almost all the big and small rooms, knocked on all the doors.

Except for one.

At first glance, it looks unremarkable, but it is made of yellow wood, which is no different from that of an ordinary guest room.

When passing by this door, Zhou Huan did not introduce it, nor did he perfunctory, as if he couldn't see this door at all, and directly pointed to the mahogany door twenty steps away. And when passing by this door, Zhou Huan's footsteps unnaturally accelerated, as if he didn't want to stay in front of the door for a minute and a half.

He seemed to think that since there was nothing strange about the door, as long as he walked quickly, Bai Yi would no longer care.

But he was wrong.

The white robe stopped in front of the yellow wooden door.

Wang Manxiu inhaled softly.

Turn around, step forward, knock.

"Excuse me. ”

Before Zhou Huan, who had already walked five steps, came back to his senses, the white clothes had already opened the door lightly.

In the house, there is a bed, a table, and a wheelchair.

In a wheelchair, there was one person.

A woman in a plain robe with a cloth belt around her eyes, a silk scarf around her neck.

The woman's face was pale, and her hands rested silently on the armrests of the wheelchair. When she heard the door open lightly, she only raised her head slightly, and did not 'look' at the place where the white clothes were.

"Hey, Wang Manxiu, why did you open the door by yourself!" Zhou Huan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly came over, and said in a low voice: "This room can't be opened, this room is ......"

Because the words have not fallen, the white clothes go first.

Zhou Huan hurriedly wanted to stop him, but found that in just an instant, the white clothes had disappeared from front of him and stood next to the wheelchair woman.

I saw Bai Yi bow slightly, leaned into the wheelchair woman's ear, and whispered something.

Then, I saw Bai Yi get up, walk beside him at least Nian, pat him on the shoulder, and chuckled: "It's okay, let's go to the dark room." ”

With that, he walked out of the unremarkable room.

The young man said 'um' in a solemn manner, raised his eyes to look at the wheelchair woman, carefully closed the door, and kept up with the pace of the white clothes.

Zhou Huan, who was confused, failed to catch a glimpse of the wheelchair woman's slightly trembling lips.

'The little carp is good. ’

The woman slowly looked up at the closed door, her empty eyes seemed to have a soul.
