Chapter 18: A Rainy Night
Approaching evening, the city was no longer clear as it was earlier, the air was gradually dull, and half of the dark clouds had already shrouded the sky over Dayuan Mansion City before it became late, and the city was a little depressed, and the sky was much darker than usual.

After a while, the rain was pouring down.
In the east courtyard of the Li Mansion, Li Yun'er and Li Mu, who were originally frolicking in the courtyard, were felt that the air was slightly moist, and before they could react, the rain poured down, and the two hurriedly ran into the hall, but their clothes were still slightly wet.
"On this day, why is it raining suddenly?" Li Mu slapped the rain on his body that had not yet soaked into his clothes, looked at the thousands of rains under the gloomy sky, and subconsciously took two steps back. There was some congestion in my chest for no apparent reason.
"Young master, wipe your body and go in for a cup of tea. Xiao Cui's voice sounded behind Li Mu, he turned around, Xiao Cui handed over a face towel, Li Mu took it, wiped his body and walked into the hall. Lin Rusheng really sat on the side and said something to Li Yun'er, who was wiping her hair with a face towel, while Yue Xiaofei didn't pay attention to him, so he solved the refreshments that Xiao Cui had just brought up, this guy didn't seem to have eaten enough, and stuffed something into his mouth as soon as he had something.
"I said, I'll go home and see what your kid is doing with my sister, my Li family doesn't seem to have invited you over. Li Mu threw the face towel on the table with one hand, leaned over and sat on the chair opposite Yue Xiaofei, and cocked Erlang's legs and said to Yue Xiaofei with disgust.
Yue Xiaofei just gave him a look and continued to work hard to eat the pastries.
"Xiao Cui, bring me the snacks, I'm hungry. Li Mu didn't get annoyed when he saw that Yue Xiaofei's attention was all on the dim sum and ignored him so much, he just held his cheek with one hand and commanded with a smile.
"I'm X, this hand is a little ruthless!"
Yue Xiaofei stuffed something in his mouth and spoke slurredly, but his expression alone made Li Mu very refreshed, and Yue Xiaofei really didn't expect Li Mu to be despicable and shameless to such a point, if it was someone else, Yue Xiaofei would definitely not care, but this is Li Mu's home, he is the second son of this family, and it is really not his turn to talk nonsense about what people want to do. So he could only grasp the plate where the snacks were placed, and looked like he didn't want to let go.
"Second son, if you're hungry, Xiaocui will prepare other food for you, okay?"
Yue Xiaofei's reaction Xiao Cui also saw it, especially the action of grabbing the snack plate that made her laugh for a while, so she suggested that Li Mu stop teasing Yue Xiaofei.
"No need, it won't bother you, I'll just love a few snacks on that plate, bring them to me and eat them." Although Xiao Cui said so, Li Mu still didn't plan to let go.
Yue Xiaofei gritted his teeth a little when he heard what Li Mu said, and suddenly turned his head and winked at Li Yun'er.
Li Yun'er on the side originally talked with Lin Rusheng about not having classes for a long time, and agreed to let Lin Rusheng teach Li Yun'er some more books and poems in a few days, but was soon attracted by Yue Xiaofei and Li Mu. Li Yun'er naturally didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and she also pretended not to see the look that Yue Xiaofei gave her.
"You're not kind!" shouted anxiously, Yue Xiaofei knew that Li Yun'er saw her eyes but deliberately didn't react, knowing that she was waiting for the two of them to make her happy with the mentality of watching the excitement, she gritted her teeth and pretended to be very pitiful and continued to look at Li Yun'er, her eyes were like a little beast begging for protection.
As everyone knows, Yue Xiaofei was in Li Yun'er's death hole, she couldn't see others looking at her with pitiful eyes on weekdays, she originally planned to watch the excitement, she looked at Yue Xiaofei's eyes, and her heart softened suddenly, and she turned to Li Mu's eyes as vicious as when she faced Li Zhishi that day.
"Li Mu, what are you doing, you like to bully people so much?"
"I, I bully, I'm your brother, my brother, you want something to eat, and you're still helping outsiders?" Originally, Li Mu was still smiling at how Yue Xiaofei planned to struggle, but Li Yun'er's sudden roar made his smile stiffen suddenly, and the tone of his mouth was a little unbelievable.
"Who is an outsider! Brother Xiaofei saved Yun'er's life! You can be regarded as Yun'er's brother! But what about you? Don't think I don't know that you have been gambling outside! Otherwise, why did I come back to see me after so many days? I'll go and tell my mother! Not only are you gambling outside, but you even forgot your father's birthday! You are not filial son!"
Li Yun'er said and pulled the hem of the dance skirt and was about to walk out of the door, but Li Mu was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and stopped in front of her.
"Good sister, my brother knows it's wrong! Don't tell my mother about this. β
Originally, Li Mu planned to die and not admit it, but seeing Li Yun'er getting up and walking out so crisply, he couldn't help but panic, if Mrs. Li knew about these things, whether he admitted it or not, he would have to take off a layer of skin in the end.
"Who told you to bully people? Now you know how to beg me?" Li Yun'er didn't plan to go out anymore, just stood in front of Li Mu with her waist crossed and stared at him.
"Yes, yes, my brother knows it's wrong!" Li Mu bowed his head in front of Li Yun'er, and gritted his teeth when he turned to look at Yue Xiaofei, "Eat, eat, eat!
"That's pretty much it. Li Yun'er didn't care how reluctant Li Mu was to say something, she could only help this, and then Li Mu grabbed her shoulder and turned around and stuck out her tongue at Yue Xiaofei again, and then returned to her seat and sat down.
"That's right, Dad's birthday is coming, and I really don't know what to send to Dad's birthday. Li Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in the chair and no longer looked at Yue Xiaofei's annoying face, scratched his head and was a little worried.
"You're already very happy if you don't block your father!Where is it like a big brother, I don't know if my big brother will come back this year, I miss my big brother a little bit......" Li Yun'er said and lowered her voice, her head was also lowered and her mouth was pursed, I don't know what to think, Xiaocui also stepped forward and touched her back and bent down as if comforting herself.
"Yes, how great the eldest brother is, he is the pride of his father. β
Li Mu's face suddenly became a little ugly when he heard her words, but he quickly recovered, got up and said in a calm tone, and then walked out of the room.
The atmosphere in the room was a little strange all of a sudden, Yue Xiaofei was also at a loss, looking at Lin Rusheng's eyes full of doubts, but this time Lin Rusheng didn't explain anything to him, just sighed lightly and shook his head, waved his hand to signal not to ask again.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the family gradually lit a fire outside the door, and a gust of wind hit and the rain blew into the hall, and suddenly lightning and thunder roared, and the courtyard flashed with electric light and fire.
Li Yun'er seemed to be frightened, threw herself into Xiao Cui's arms and hugged her, sobbing softly, Xiao Cui was actually scared, but she still touched Li Yun'er's hair and comforted her like a sister, because Xiao Cui knew that Li Yun'er didn't cry because of this sudden thunder.
Yue Xiaofei didn't eat anymore, the light of lightning outside the house flickered on his face, and he listened to the sound of the hurried rain thoughtfully.
Just when the city of Dayuan Mansion was shrouded in a sudden heavy rain, a county town hundreds of miles away was also covered by heavy rain.
At this time, there was only one room in a private house in the city with a light on, and a man and a woman sat at the dining table in the room with their faces exposed, and the table was full of dishes, and the two of them did not mean to move their chopsticks, but they were very nervous when they sat there.
The man at the table was a fat man, but he had no intention of tasting his favorite meat in front of him, and from time to time he twisted his sleeves to wipe the sweat left on his face, and the woman sitting opposite was his wife, and he was also nervously pinching the handkerchief in his hand at this time, and his fingers were white because he was too hard.
"Sir, are they really coming?" the woman finally could not bear the suppressed silence, and asked the fat man in a trembling voice.
"Don't say more things that shouldn't be said!" said the fat man, so frightened that the woman shuddered and did not dare to speak again.
The fat man was holding an envelope in his hand at this time, and the fat man's hand trembled slightly when he remembered what was written inside, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and threw the envelope out of the open door.
"Damn, who are you scared of! It's almost time and there is no movement, someone must be making a joke about Lao Tzu! Pour wine!" The fat man looked at the envelope he crumpled in the aisle outside the door viciously, and beckoned the woman to pour wine.
"Yes, yes, someone must be joking. The woman was still terrified, and tremblingly picked up the flask and poured wine for the fat man, who took it all and began to take up his chopsticks and eat.
Outside the house, there was also thunder, and the rain was furious.
After three rounds of drinking, the fat man's face was a little red, and his frightened expression disappeared without a trace at this time, and he didn't know what fear was at this time, looking at the nameless fire of the woman who was still frightened, and slapped the table and scolded loudly!
"What are you afraid of! Who doesn't care who he is! I'm here to beat him! Pour wine!"
"Yes, yesβ" the woman replied resignedly, filling the fat man with wine.
"Damn! what a fucking frustration!" the fat man drank down, still scolding the woman.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through, and the candle flame in the room was silently extinguished.
"It's coming, it's coming!" the woman was so frightened by the sudden darkness that she broke down and couldn't help but scream.
"What's coming!What's the ghost called?!Don't light the lights yet!What's coming?" The fat man scolded, his neck stiffened, and he scolded loudly.
"What she said was, we're coming. β
A laughing voice sounded in the ears of the fat man and the woman, and the fat man suddenly turned into a cold sweat, and his mind woke up instantly, and he turned his head sharply.
Just at the moment, a thunderbolt flashed outside the house, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by electric light, and a masked face appeared in front of the fat man, and the eyes with a smile were strangely blood-red.
"Hell!" the fat man collapsed in fright, turned around and ran directly outside the door, but was hit by the door, and his head hit the ground and blood flowed, and he still crawled on the ground under the pain, looking at the dark room with fear.
A woman's scream came from inside the house, and the fat man turned around and still crawled, when suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of him, and the fat man raised his head tremblingly, and a pair of emotionless eyes looked at him, as if he were looking at a dead man.
The fat man was also so frightened that he couldn't help screaming, and the owner of those eyes directly threw the fat man's back collar into the heavy rain out of thin air, and the fat man was thrown into a pig-like scream.
"Ahh
"Come, give you a chance, don't you want to make a move, come and save your wife, and when I save you, I'll let you all go, what do you think?" the man in black proposed easily.
"Please, let me go, I don't know anything!" the fat man rolled in pain in the rain, tears and snot mixed with the rain on his face, very embarrassed.
"Well, I gave you a chance. β
The man in black sighed, the short sword in his hand pressed the woman's neck and slid gently, the blood sprayed like rain, the man in black got up and lifted the woman's body down, the corpse rolled down the stairs into the courtyard, the blood quickly dispersed in the rain, the thunder and lightning flashed, and the fat man saw that his wife did not close her eyes, full of resentment.
"Ah!!h
The man in black shook off the blood from his dagger and leaped forward, his figure slicing through the rain.
"Dead fatty, where are you going?"
A laughing voice rang out behind the fat man, who turned his head sharply, and the figure in black leaped above him, his dagger pointed straight at his eyes.
Dingββ
A metal crash sounded in the rain, and the fat man holding his head slowly opened his eyes, leaving a warm heat in his crotch, and the fishy smell was quickly diluted by the rain, but he ignored the fact that he was frightened and incontinent, and looked ahead with his head in a daze.
A long sword flew out of nowhere, and it was now brutally stuck on the ground in front of him, and the rain flowed down the slightly trembling blade, and the sword spike at the end was blown by the sudden wind and danced wildly in the rain.
