Night was falling.

Late nights in Wing An Town are quiet and peaceful.

At this time, I saw a black shadow rushing forward under the cover of night, and stopped at the gate of a large compound, and the plaque at the gate prominently wrote two big characters - Tang Mansion.

The black shadow looked left and right, then jumped into the compound.

The Tang family is also a big family in Yong'an Town, but a long time ago, the Tang family was just an ordinary family with a little-known name, until the son of the Tang family married the daughter of the Xu family, and this became popular.

As the saying goes, it is good to enjoy the shade under the shade of a big tree, and in a few years, the Tang family has become one of the big families in Yongan Town, and the daughter of the Xu family who married into the Tang family is Xu Zijie's sister.

The black shadow wandered around the Tang Mansion lightly, as if he was not very familiar with this place, and after some time, he finally stopped at the door of a room.

Although the moonlight is a little hazy, you can still faintly see the face of the black shadow, handsome and slightly decadent, he is Xu Chen.

Smack!

Xu Chen knocked on the door three times gently, perhaps for fear of disturbing the other people in the house, and the force he used to knock on the door was extremely light.

"Who?"

A girl's voice sounded in the room, with a hint of laziness in her voice, but there was no sound of getting up.

Xu Chen didn't answer, and knocked on the door three more times, only then did he hear a slight sound of footsteps and impatient nagging.

"Oh! Mother, I knew it was you, I just left and came back, I remembered everything, I won't be able to go in the future!"

With the sound of talking, the door creaked open, and a handsome face appeared in front of Xu Chen's eyes, it was Tang Yan.

Maybe she thought her mother was back again, Tang Yan didn't take care of her makeup, her hair was messy, and the buttons on the top of her nightgown were not completely buttoned, and her beautiful and fair collarbones were exposed like this, exuding an alluring atmosphere.

As soon as she saw Xu Chen outside the door, her originally tired eyes suddenly lit up a lot, and she said in surprise: "Brother Xu Chen, why are you?"

"Hmm!"

Xu Chen didn't know what to say, so he had to nod slightly, and when he saw that Tang Yan was a little disheveled, he motioned Tang Yan with his eyes to button the button first.

Who would have thought, Tang Yan at this time also suddenly realized this problem, her hands suddenly covered her chest, her red lips were pursed high, and her clear eyes stared at Xu Chen, that kind of delicate anger, as if she had met a flower thief.

Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry!

As he spoke, they turned their bodies and turned their backs to Tang Yan.

Tang Yan quickly fastened the buttons and said softly, "Hmph!

Although there was disdain in her tone, her face was full of shy smiles, she pulled Xu Chen's clothes with her hand, and motioned for Xu Chen to go into the house before talking.

Walking into the house, Tang Yan led Xu Chen to a round table and sat down, and asked softly, "Brother Xu Chen, I have heard everything about you." How dare you stay in Yong'an Town!"

Xu Chen sighed, looked at Tang Yan's delicate face, and asked, "Do you also believe that Uncle Wu was killed by me?"

Tang Yan smiled bitterly, "Of course I don't believe it, if I believe it, I can still lead you to my room?"

"yes!"

Xu Chen nodded, "Since I didn't kill him, then I have to find the real murderer, not only to avenge Uncle Wu, but also to clear my name." ”

At this time, he suddenly paused, his face full of sorrow, "But, but I have no place to stay now, think about it, the only person I can trust is you, so ......"

"You have a conscience!"

Tang Yan answered, perhaps because she heard Xu Chen's stomach gurgling, she blinked and said, "Brother Xu Chen, are you hungry?"

Xu Chen lowered his head embarrassedly, in fact, the main purpose of his coming to Tang Yan today was to find something to eat.

When he escaped from Xu's Mansion, except for the "Splitting Void Sword Decision" that he had always brought with him, he only had a steel sword without a scabbard left. But nothing can be exchanged for food.

Of course, even if he had a silver ticket on him, I am afraid that he would not dare to swagger through the market in Yong'an Town, he expected that the swordsman of the Xu Mansion would definitely keep tracking his whereabouts, so he had to find a hidden corner and stay in a dull place for a day, only waiting for late at night before he dared to come out, naturally he was already hungry.

Tang Yan saw Xu Chen's shyness, hurriedly left the room, went straight to the kitchen of the Tang Mansion, secretly retrieved a box of pastries, and put them in front of Xu Chen.

After not eating for a day, Xu Chen was already hungry, and when he saw the food he hadn't seen for a long time, he couldn't care about eating at all, and ate it in small bites.

Tang Yan, who was sitting opposite, looked at it with a smile, but her eyes revealed distress.

It's been ten years, and the person she has been thinking about has finally returned, but now it has ended up like this. Think about what an unruly teenager he was back then, at this time......

"Alas!"

Tang Yan inadvertently took a breath of conversation.

Xu Chen heard the sigh, raised his head, and found that Tang Yan was looking at him stupidly, probably realizing that his eating appearance was extremely ugly, he glanced at the other party, and said, "What are you looking at?"

"You're a big man, you're afraid of others looking at you!" Tang Yan replied playfully.

Xu Chen was speechless, so he had to divert the topic and say, "Hmm...... I'll be gone in a moment. ”

When Tang Yan heard this, there was a trace of loss in her eyes, but she knew that Xu Chen was a strong seed, and she had been since she was a child, so she didn't say anything, but silently took out a small star made of bone from the cuff.

"Brother Xu Chen, do you remember this?" Tang Yan's eyes were confused, as if recalling the past.

Xu Chen looked at the little star in Tang Yan's hand, and couldn't help but think of the past, when he was still the true young master of Xu Fuzhen, although he was not very old, he was talented and intelligent, and no one in Yong'an Town knew about it.

At that time, he had an extremely close relationship with Tang Yan, and even people in the house joked that the two of them were a natural pair.

This star was given to him by Xu Chen at that time, and when he saw this thing at this time, although he was very moved, thinking about the current situation, he was even more sad.

Xu Chen's eyes lowered, nodded casually, and didn't say anything.

Looking at the young man's more lost face, Tang Yan didn't persuade anything, but just admired the stars in her hand, although she had seen it hundreds of times, thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, but from the smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth, it could be seen that she still hadn't seen enough, and she still loved it to the extreme.

After looking at it for a moment, she suddenly said softly, "Brother Xu Chen, do you remember what you said when you gave it to me?"

Xu Chen shook his head, it has been more than ten years, and he was still young at that time, how could he remember.

Seeing this, Tang Yan's delicate face twitched slightly, and she said slightly angrily: "You said that I am as clear and gentle as water." ”

"Really?"

Xu Chen was puzzled, how could he say such a sensual thing back then, and said casually: "Unlikely, you were like a tomboy at that time, how could I say such a thing!

"Fart!"

Tang Yan scolded loudly, originally immersed in the past, but at this time, her apricot eyes were round, completely ignoring her beautiful image.

Xu Chen was also stunned, and said helplessly: "As for it?"

Tang Yan stood up, sighed, pointed to the stars and said, "Why not, look! You also carved a hexagram on it at that time, you said that in the gossip hexagram represents water, you also said...... You also said that you would protect me for the rest of my life. ”

Probably out of shyness, Tang Yan put the little star in front of Xu Chen, and covered her red cheeks.

"Oh, yes? Hehe, it seems that I was quite knowledgeable back then. ”

Xu Chen laughed at himself, and at the same time casually glanced at the little star in front of him.

This little star is extremely white, it seems that Tang Yan has always been with her, and she must have taken good care of her, which inevitably moved Xu Chen's heart.

The stars are engraved with three lines of two short and two long, which are one yin and two yang, which represent the exchange of hexagrams in the eight trigrams.

Not only for cultivators, but even for ordinary people, such a pattern is extremely ordinary, but for some reason, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly froze, and he even forgot to eat the pastry in his hand, he gently picked up the little star and looked at it carefully.

Seeing Xu Chen's expression of such seriousness and devotion between her fingers, Tang Yan mistakenly thought that Xu Chen remembered the scene in the past, she slowly put down her hand and said more softly: "Brother Xu Chen!

However, in the past half a day, Xu Chen still didn't look up at her, Tang Yan was angry and angry, snatched the star from Xu Chen's hand, and gently bit her lower lip and glared at Xu Chen, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Xu Chen hurriedly said, "Yan'er, you can show me again." ”

"Don't give it!"

Tang Yan said coquettishly, "You gave it to me, this is mine, I won't give it to you!"

Saying that, she was still smiling, at least she knew that Xu Chen still cared about this star very much, and she cared about this star, that is, she cared about those memories.

Who knows, Xu Chen's face sank, and he said seriously: "Yan'er! I have something to do! The pattern on this star is somewhat similar to the pattern that Uncle Wu left on the ground before he died. Show me and I'll give it back to you later. ”

When Tang Yan heard this, she was even more angry, it turned out to be her own wishful thinking just now!

However, angry is angry, she knew that this matter was very important to Xu Chen, so she gasped and threw the star on the table, and said angrily: "Hmph! I knew you had forgotten!"

Perhaps because of his excitement, Xu Chen ignored Tang Yan's expression at all, reached out and picked up the star, and gestured with his fingers while looking at it.

Tang Yan, who was originally very angry, puffed out her mouth and glanced at Xu Chen with her eyes from time to time.

However, when she inadvertently saw Xu Chen's left hand, her heart twitched suddenly, and she knew it was pain.

She naturally didn't know about Xu Chen's severed finger, and Xu Chen's severed little finger all the time, if she didn't observe it carefully, ordinary people wouldn't care, so this was the first time she found out.

Tang Yan looked at it stupidly, slowly stood up, and came to Xu Chen's side, her eyes flashed with crystal tears, and she stretched out her white hands and touched it, only a month has passed, and there is still a scar on the broken finger.

"Brother Xu Chen, how did you get this?"

Tang Yan asked in a trembling voice, "Does it still hurt?"

Who knows, at this moment, Xu Chenqian raised his head, his eyes were full of excitement, he looked at Tang Yan who was full of distress and said, "Yan'er! I know, I know!"

Tang Yan felt inexplicable, "What do you know?"

Xu Chen may have been too excited, so he stood up suddenly and hugged Tang Yan, "Yan'er, thank you, I finally know the meaning of the word 'dust' in Uncle Wu." ”

Although Tang Yan didn't know what Xu Chen understood, she felt extremely happy and gently leaned her head on Xu Chen's shoulder.
