Chunfengcuo

Chapter 16

"Hahaha……"

In the deep stream where the clouds and mist were piled up, a hoarse laughter suddenly sounded, mixed with curses, which aroused waves of echoes and scared away several birds in the mountain.

"Shen Wumeng, I will definitely come to you again!"

The sound came from the bottom of the valley.The leaves that have fallen in the valley for many years piled up and rotted on the ground, almost two feet high.Ren Sanfa was lying on the rotten leaves, surrounded by snakes, and many insect poisons were continuously crawling from all directions.

He grabbed a fat centipede, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.The stench filled his mouth, but he didn't even frown.

When I fell into a deep valley that day, there was a thick layer of rotting leaves on the landing, and I was lucky enough to save my life. Both legs were broken, and several ribs were also broken by the protruding rocks in the mountain.In the past few days, he has been eating snakes and insects for a living, waiting for the broken bones to heal.

"When I leave the valley, it's your time of death! Hehe... Shen Wumeng, just wait for me, hahahaha..."

He caught another poisonous snake and bit it off. While chewing, he fantasized about various scenes of revenge and laughed wildly.

The golden red sunset shrouded the locust forest outside Pingliang City, and also dragged long shadows behind the two horses that were meandering.

Bai Yan rode his horse and walked ahead, with his head lowered, his face still full of worry.

That day, she fell into a torrential rain and passed out. When she woke up, she had left the Temple of Earth and was lying on a bed in an inn.

When she was in a daze, she saw a young man sitting by the window holding a scroll and waiting. Just as he called Mr. Su, the man had put down the scroll with a smile, and walked towards her with the boiled soup on the table. "Miss Bai, you are mistaken, I am Muzhe."

She was startled, endured the dizziness and questioned, only to find out that Su Weiming insisted that her brother send her back to Duhuo Villa.She was stunned for a while, knowing that Su Weiming must be afraid that if he walked with her again, it would make her even more sad when the poison happened, so she let the Second Young Master Su escort him.She sadly took the bowl and forced herself to swallow the bitter soup.

Su Muzhe was not in a hurry to urge her to leave, and stayed in the inn for more than ten days, until Bai Yan's wind and cold were completely cured and her body was recuperated, before setting off for Pingliang City.He was calm by nature and held the defense between men and women, Bai Yan also had a heavy heart, so during the journey, the two of them only had a few conversations, and the rest of the time they walked silently.

The two turned a corner, and a black stone manor suddenly came into view.

In the past, the lawn in front of the gate was always full of medical seekers, but now there are only weeds growing wildly, and the black gauze lanterns under the eaves are even more dusty.Feeling sad for a while, Bai Yan got off the horse, walked up the stone steps and knocked on the door. With a push, the door opened by itself, it turned out that it was only ajar.

Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice when he entered the door, and called several servants by their names, but the surroundings were quiet and no one responded.

Su Muzhe also felt strange, fearing that Bai Yan might make a mistake, he also dismounted and followed Bai Yan to the depths of the villa.

Wherever the two passed by, there were scattered broken furniture and porcelain on the ground, as if they had been looted.Bai Yan's intuition was not good, so he rushed into the living room and took a look, and sure enough, all the valuable items had been removed, the doors and windows were broken and crooked, and even the roof tiles were pierced with several large holes, making the whole place a mess.

She was speechless and speechless.On the day she and her uncle were taken away, Ren Sanfa didn't take a single stitch from the villa.Looking at the situation, most of the servants in the village disappeared from their masters, so they took their belongings and fled away.

"Uncle treated them well during his lifetime, but they...but..." Recalling the tragedy of Bai Wuchang's death, she couldn't continue.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Su Muzhe glanced around the room, but couldn't even find a candle.He sighed secretly, and said softly, "I'll go into the city to buy some candles and food as an emergency. I'll call the craftsman to repair the doors and windows tomorrow."

Bai Yan was already at a loss and helpless, upon hearing this, he glanced at him gratefully, and thanked him with sobs. "You and Mr. Su are both kind-hearted people." Suddenly, he thought of Su Weiming's body being poisoned, and his heart ached like a twist. "It's a pity that a good man, why, why is there no good reward?"

Su Muzhe had already stepped out of the room, turned around in surprise and said, "Miss Bai, what did you say?"

Bai Yan suddenly came back to his senses, impulsively, and wanted to confide the truth to Su Muzhe. When the words came to his lips, he remembered that he had promised Su Weiming that he would never tell others about Su Weiming's poisoning, so he held back and concealed: "No, nothing, I just thought of Uncle."

Unexpectedly, Su Muzhe didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left quickly.

Seeing him walk away, Bai Yan finally burst into tears after holding back for a long time. "Mr. Su, you... how are you doing now? Mr. Su..."

When all hope is close to shattered, the only thing she can do is to kneel and prostrate, worship the gods, and beg God for mercy.

The Su Family Ancestral Hall was dark and cold.

Su Weiming held three sticks of incense sticks, with a respectful and solemn expression, knelt down to pay homage to the ancestors' spiritual tablets, burned the incense, and then slowly stepped out of the ancestral hall.

The light outside is completely opposite to that inside the ancestral hall.The morning light poured out of the clouds and fell on the roof tiles and trees of different heights, shining brightly.He saw the familiar long purple shadow under the tree at a glance.

Shen Wumeng folded her arms and faced him without making a sound, just staring at him quietly.

Su Weiming sighed softly in his heart.Since returning to Xiaozhu from the Land Temple, Shen Wumeng has been as quiet as a deep pool, rarely speaking, but just staying around him every day, watching him silently.It seemed as if just seeing him was enough.

He didn't know if this was the way Shen Wumeng liked Mu Zhe over the years.Time did not allow him to think deeply, because within a few days after returning to Broken Sword Xiaozhu, he noticed that his physical strength was weakening day by day.

The turquoise color on the eyelids has disappeared unknowingly, because the poison has been transferred to a deeper place.From time to time, the bases of both ears ached faintly, and the ear strength was not as good as before, and the nose could not smell the fragrance of flowers lingering in the air in the early morning.Perhaps soon, he will lose his eyesight, and he will no longer be able to look at Shen Wumeng silently like now...

He smiled lightly, approached Shen Wumeng, and invited Shen Wumeng to have breakfast at the Broken Sword Hall like every day after returning to Xiaozhu.

Ge Shanfeng and Shu Shanlei have already led their disciples into their seats. Seeing Su Weiming and Shen Wumeng coming together, they have been used to the sect master going in and out with this beautiful man for several days. porridge.

Su Weiming looked at everyone, except Guan Shanyu's apprentice, He Fanghuan.Since he was pretending to be his younger brother, he naturally had to put on the posture of the head of the sect, coughed and said with a smile: "Where is Guan Guan's disciple? Why can't he be seen?"

"Fang Huan is probably still feeding Senior Brother Guan medicine?" Shu Shanlei mentioned Guan Shanyu, his complexion darkened involuntarily.

I don't know how much ginseng and bear bile have been used. Guan Shanyu's injury has been stabilized, but he has never woken up. Dressing, eating, going to the toilet, and trivial matters need to be taken care of by others, that is, he is more breathless than a dead person.

The mood of the people present also became very heavy, and they lost the interest of chatting.

As the meal was coming to an end, a disciple on duty suddenly ran over in a hurry, bowed to Su Weiming and said anxiously: "Sect Master, Junior Brother He just drove the carriage and took Manager Guan away. Manager Guan went to seek medical treatment, but we couldn’t stop him.”

Everyone in Xiaozhu was shocked and put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Shu Shanlei screamed nonsense, got up and wanted to chase him out. "Senior Brother Guan was injured so badly, how could he withstand the bumps!"

"Let him go!" Su Weiming stopped Shu Shanlei with a smile, thinking in his heart whether Shen Wumeng would take him around to seek medical treatment after he became poisoned.But whether it will or not, he will eventually turn into a pile of flesh and blood corpses in front of Shen Wumeng.

Only in this way can Shen Wumeng be completely desperate.Although he knows better how cruel this is to Shen Wumeng.

The guilt and pain that had been suppressed in his chest for many days suddenly surged up, and he took several deep breaths in succession to keep the grief from floating on his face.Glancing at Shen Wumeng beside him, the latter was looking up at the beam.

He followed Shen Wumeng's line of sight to look carefully, and it turned out that there was a spider busy spinning and weaving a web in a very inconspicuous corner on the beam.

What's so cool about this?Not understanding why, he shook his head.

After the meal, Su Weiming watched the disciples practice for a while, then returned to the Tibetan Jiange.

He slowed down as he passed the flower garden.

It was early autumn, and the grass in the garden was no longer as green as it was in midsummer. The stalks in the pond were half withered, and the green cover was withered, but the nameless flowers on the bank were in full bloom, reflecting the mandarin ducks swimming in the pool. , colorful as brocade.

This might be the gorgeous autumn scenery that he will be able to see in the last year... Su Weiming stood by the wind, sighing with emotion, the man's temperature had quietly approached him.

"... Mu Zhe, I have something to tell you." Shen Wumeng's voice was low, more like talking to himself.

"Huh?" Su Weiming turned around, but only saw Shen Wumeng's tall back.The man went straight to the edge of the pool and was fascinated by the couples of mandarin ducks on the water.

Su Weiming waited for a while, but didn't hear the following, only felt that Shen Wumeng was a little abnormal recently, smiled, walked to Shen Wumeng's side, found a rock to wipe off the dust, and sat down. "Master Shen, what do you want to say to me?"

"I..." Shen Wumeng had obviously been thinking about it for many days, but when it came to this moment, all of them had turned into a thousand thoughts, and he didn't know where to start.

It was his dream ending to be able to meet the person he yearns for day and night.However, facing the familiar smile on his face, he couldn't find the feeling of beating his heart before.What flashed in front of his eyes from time to time these days were all the bits and pieces of getting along with Su Weiming.

Happiness, anger and laughter, there is no cover.Tears flow silently on a rainy night, Baiquan sees life and death together, drunk with love under the moonlight...

At this point, he can no longer lie to himself.Countless times, I had the urge to leave Xiaozhu and look for Su Weiming.But what happens after you find it?

Tell Su Weiming that the person he likes now is no longer Muzhe, but Weiming?Don't say that Su Weiming wouldn't believe it, even he himself couldn't accept it.Even if Su Weiming believed him, he would never accept a person like him who sees things differently and wants to change.

He was so preoccupied and entangled in his chest that he was almost pushed to the verge of suffocation.When he saw that spider, he suddenly felt that he had lived the same life as this spider for the past 20 years.

In the layout of silk spinning, it is oneself who is finally trapped in a square inch.When he was young, he commanded all the heroes to dominate the situation, but now he even lost the courage to chase the one he loves?Shen Wumeng, when did he become so timid, cowardly and useless?

He lowered his eyes and stared at the wind-blown waves on the surface of the pool, and finally sighed and said slowly: "Mu Zhe, there is something that I have hidden from you for many years. Originally... I didn't want to mention it again, but it's better to say it. .Even if you will hate me after hearing this and try to do something to me, I will not fight back, and that is my own fault."

Su Weiming thought that Shen Wumeng wanted to confide his lovesickness to "Mu Zhe" for many years, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be calm, and said with a smile: "Master Shen was joking, you have a lot of love for Broken Sword Xiaozhu." I can only help you, how can I repay my kindness with revenge?"

"Mu Zhe, you don't know, I──" Shen Wumeng turned around, and was about to tell the other party that he was the person in Merlin back then, when he saw the thing in Su Weiming's hand, he suddenly stopped talking.

It is a clay mandarin duck that has just taken shape, its eyes and tail have not yet been pinched.

Su Weiming was also a bit bored waiting just now, and there happened to be a few mandarin ducks swimming around his feet, so he was full of childlike innocence, so he pinched a mandarin duck to pass the time.Seeing Shen Wumeng staring at the mud mandarin duck without speaking, he shivered, thinking that he did not look like a sect master in charge of Xiaozhu, so don't be caught by Shen Wumeng.Putting down the muddy mandarin duck, he coughed and said, "Master Shen, don't you have something to tell me? Please tell me."

Shen Wumeng didn't seem to hear it, and looked down at the muddy duck, his thoughts had flown to many years ago, and his chest hurt slightly.At the beginning, he wished to regard Muzhe as a taboo since he was a child; he ignored Muzhe's crying and begging to insult him, but now he not only wants to expose this secret cruelly, but also tells Muzhe that he is in love with Weiming again now, but Muzhe is called Weiming. How can you hide your feelings?

He closed his eyes deeply.

"Master Shen?"

"... Muzhe, go ahead, I want to be alone for a while."

"This..." Today's Shen Wumeng is too weird.Su Weiming stared at the man for a while, still unable to figure out the man's mind, and saw the nursing courtyard passing by from a distance, so he couldn't wait by Shen Wumeng's side anymore, so he returned to the Tibetan Sword Pavilion by himself.

It was night, and the autumn wind was bleak and dark.The silver man is far away, illuminating the several cornices on the top of the Tibetan Sword Pavilion.

Su Weiming was sitting on the roof in a fluttering green dress, stroking the Yaoqin resting on her lap with her fingers carelessly, drawing out a few voiceless tones.

The galaxy is shining brightly tonight, and this kind of beautiful scenery will never be seen again after he loses his eyesight.He smiled wistfully, pushed Yaoqin away, lay down slowly, and looked up at the thousands of stars in the night sky.Suddenly, my heart moved, and I turned my head——

Shen Wumeng had already stood on the narrow eaves of the dragon's head at some point, her purple robe and long hair were blown away by the wind, like a celestial being flying in heaven.His gaze was still quiet and deep, staring at Su Weiming.

After staring at Shen Wumeng for a while, Su Weiming waved his sleeve and gently brushed the roof tiles beside him, and said with a smile, "Master Shen, you also have Yaxing Night Tour? Come and sit."

Shen Wumeng didn't make a sound, his body swayed slightly, and he floated close to Su Weiming, and sat down beside him.

After meditating by the pool during the day until dusk fell, he finally made up his mind and planned to talk to Su Muzhe tonight.He had warned himself not to get close to him just now, but when Su Weiming's starry eyes reflected a smile and looked at each other, he seemed to be in a trance as if he had seen the person who toasted to him under the moonlight that night. People, involuntarily walked over.

As he approached, a faint scent of wine wafted into his nostrils.

"... Have you been drinking?" He glanced at the corner of Su Weiming's eyes, and it turned out that he was flushed after drinking.

Su Weiming chuckled lightly: "It's rare to be in a good mood tonight, so I had two drinks."

Shen Wumeng was silent for a long time, he couldn't bear to ruin the little guy's good mood tonight, but the matter must be resolved one day, he whispered: "Mu Zhe──"

"Stop talking!" Su Weiming interrupted Shen Wumeng suddenly.

A good night is like water, and the beautiful scenery is present, he doesn't want to hear Shen Wumeng calling him "Mu Zhe" over and over again, ruining the warm atmosphere of this moment.He laid his hands behind his head leisurely, looked sideways at the people around him and said with a smile, "Shen Wumeng, I will only watch the night scene tonight, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the daytime tomorrow."

Suddenly hearing his name spit out from the other party's mouth, Shen Wumeng's last calmness disappeared.Deep in my memory, only Su Weiming ever called him by his first name.At this moment, the aroma of wine floated, and the smiling face of the person in front of him also overlapped with the person in his mind in the starlight.His heart fluttered, and he slowly lowered his head as if bewitched.

"Hmm..."

The two figures rolled down on the roof tiles together, the entanglement of lips and tongues was so familiar that Shen Wumeng forgot everything, he only knew how to kiss Su Weiming's wine-scented and hot mouth, and swallowed the body fluid overflowing from the corners of each other's lips, Follow the other party's impatiently moving Adam's apple and trembling collarbone all the way down to explore...

"!!" Su Weiming unconsciously swung his arm and hit the strings, and a clang shattered the deep and intertwined panting of the two.

Shen Wumeng suddenly woke up from the confusion and fascination, straightened her upper body, turned her head sharply, and faced Su Weiming's glaring red marks on his neck and chest facelessly.

Su Weiming was still immersed in the surging emotion, his face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, he grabbed Shen Wumeng's sleeve, and said hoarsely: "What's wrong?"

With his back facing him, Shen Wumeng tried his best to suppress his heavy and scorching breathing, and it finally calmed down after a while.He turned around and took the Yaoqin, picked up Su Weiming again, floated down the roof, tapped his toes lightly on the railing of the corridor, jumped down the corridor, and walked into Su Weiming's bedroom with the person in his arms.

When the man put his body on the bed, Su Weiming somewhat understood what Shen Wumeng was doing, he didn't say a word, only a bit of sadness flashed across his heart, but he couldn't hide a vague expectation.

The deadline is approaching, let yourself obey the most primitive and faithful desire in your heart, and have a final tenderness with Shen Wumeng.In this way, can Shen Wumeng remember him forever?Even though he knew that in Shen Wumeng's eyes, he was just a substitute for his younger brother Mu Zhe...

Seeing Shen Wumeng stretching out his hand to him, he smiled, and waited for Shen Wumeng to undress him, but the man's fiery and trembling hand just fell on his face and gently stroked it. His brows and eyes immediately moved away.

"Mu Zhe, it's getting late, go to bed early..." Shen Wumeng extinguished the candle for him, turned and walked out.

Su Weiming was stunned, "You, don't you want me?"

Shen Wumeng's back froze slightly, but he didn't stop, and walked out of Su Weiming's sight, leaving him with a soft sigh: "Mushe, you've drunk too much, stop thinking about it, go to sleep."

Su Weiming stayed there for a long time, and finally stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, and smiled wryly——Shen Wumeng would rather suppress his desire than take advantage of the opportunity to blaspheme his beloved when he was drunk.

Only his noble and innocent younger brother is the true love in Shen Wumeng's heart.And he is nothing...

Shen Wumeng came out of the hidden sword pavilion, walked faster and faster, almost without touching the edge of the pond, and jumped into the water, startled the mandarin ducks living deep in the remnant lotus into a commotion.A few guards who were watching the night in the distance also heard the movement, approached and saw that it was the door owner's friend, although they felt strange, they didn't question him, and walked away talking in a low voice.

The jet-black hair covered the surface of the water, chaotic like thoughts.He picked up a handful of pool water and put it on his face.The water in the pool was so cool that it finally cooled the heat in Shen Wumeng's body.He lowered his head, looked at his broken and shaking reflection on the water, and sighed.

Almost, I couldn't control it just now, and made a big mistake again.

He really shouldn't stay by Mu Zhe's side anymore... Shen Wumeng closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again in an instant, flashed a flash of coldness, and plunged his left palm straight into the water.

A small snake was pinched three inches by him, and he lifted it out of the water and threw it ashore. The snake twisted and stopped moving.Under the starlight, the snake scales are colorful, obviously very poisonous.

Shen Wumeng frowned slightly, and without thinking about it, returned to the shore and walked slowly.

The surface of the water gradually calmed down, and a cluster of ruined lotus leaves in the middle of the water suddenly moved, revealing a ferocious blood-red face.

"Shen Wumeng, you're going fast!" He gritted his teeth and sneered, squinting his one eye, and cast his gaze at the hidden sword pavilion hidden in the night in the distance.

The starlight in the sky is gradually dimming and fading, the sky is blue-gray, and the long night is coming to an end.

Several houses located in the secluded area of ​​Xiaozhu suddenly burst into flames. The autumn was dry, and the fire quickly became bigger and spread to the surrounding houses.

"The kitchen is flooded, hurry up! Quickly!" The guard who was watching the night hurriedly woke up the servants, and everyone beat the gong and rushed to the kitchen to put out the fire.

Ever since Shen Wumeng left, Su Weiming was full of worries and couldn't sleep.Faintly hearing the noise of people outside the pavilion, he turned over, and suddenly saw a figure of a man vaguely reflected on the window paper that was reddened by the flames.

"Master Shen?"

He yelled, and realized that the figure of that person was not like Shen Wumeng. He froze, and just sat up, the wooden window was already shattered.One person flew into the room and slashed at Su Weiming with his palm.

An ugly face covered with sarcoma and dripping blood was even more creepy when illuminated by the fire.

This monster is not dead!He even chased Broken Sword Xiaozhu!Su Weiming was so shocked that he forgot to dodge.

"Be careful!"

Ziying jumped out suddenly, waving her sleeves to block Su Weiming's bed.

The two palm winds met in mid-air, and there was a muffled "bang", and half of the wall on the side of the bedroom suddenly collapsed, and countless bricks and tiles fell.

Ren Sanfa was also shaken by the palm wind, he stumbled and retreated several steps before he stood still, looked at Shen Wumeng and said with a strange smile: "What? Are you happy to see that I am still alive? Hahaha!"

Shen Wumeng ignored him at all, and only looked at Su Weiming.Before he was in a state of confusion, he was walking aimlessly in the small building, and before he knew it, he returned to the vicinity of the hidden sword pavilion. Just as he saw a person leaping towards him from the place where the flames were soaring into the sky, he jumped up the stairs, and he hurriedly followed On the right, Ren Sanfa's palm was resolved in due course.

Seeing that Su Weiming was safe and sound, Shen Wumeng was still a little worried, and said, "Are you injured?"

"I'm fine." Su Weiming jumped out of the bed, raised his hand violently, the golden sword flashed coldly, and chopped a poisonous snake that was sneaking up to his head along the beam into several pieces.

After the two asked and answered, they actually regarded Ren Sanfa as nothing.Ren Sanfa was so angry that his face twisted, and suddenly he became proud, Jie Jie laughed: "It's fine now, just wait for someone to collect your body in a few days."

Shen Wumeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you say?"

"Master Shen, don't listen to his nonsense!" Su Weiming interrupted anxiously.

Ren Sanfa had already heard the clue, and laughed loudly: "Shen Wumeng, so your girlfriend hasn't told you yet? You were knocked out by me at that time, and your girlfriend ate a pill for you to save you. Qishang Wan. Calculated, the toxicity should have already started to take effect, and slowly, he will become deaf and blind, rotten all over, and finally become the same fate as that old bastard Bai Wuchang."

The more Shen Wumeng listened, the more frightened he became, recalling Bai Wuchang's pile of fragmented corpses, he always thought that he was tortured to death by Ren Sanfa, but it turned out that he died of severe poison!

But Weiming actually took the poison pill on his behalf? !

"It's the antidote!" He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and an invisible force hit the people about ten feet away.

Ren Sanfa's laughter stopped suddenly, and his whole body seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant palm, and his feet were lifted into the air from the ground, unable to move.Blood gushed out of his mouth, but he managed to squeeze out a few hoarse low laughs from his throat, and said viciously: "Qishang Wan was made by that old bastard Bai Wuchang, and the old bastard is dead. In this world, there is no There is no antidote for Qishang Pill. Shen Wumeng, I want you to watch your lover fester inch by inch and turn into pus and blood, haha──”

A suppressed roar tore through the dawn.Shen Wumeng turned pale, shook off Ren Sanfa, and walked out.

Su Weiming was startled, and hurriedly chased him out. "Master Shen? Where are you going?"

Shen Wumeng slowly turned around in the corridor, staring at the person standing in the misty blue morning light, finally said sorry in a low voice, turned around and started walking again. "I went to Duhuo Villa to look for Weiming... Muzhe, I'm sorry..."

"Don't go!" Su Weiming blurted out subconsciously, if Shen Wumeng saw Mu Zhe, his plan would be in vain.

He took a step forward and was about to persuade Shen Wumeng to stay when Ren Sanfa hit him hard on the back with two palms.Fortunately, Ren Sanfa was injured and could only use [-]% of his palm strength. Even so, Su Weiming's internal organs seemed to be shifted in an instant, and the blood in his chest was surging.

At the place where the golden light flashed, Ren Sanfa let out a long scream, his left arm had been cut off by the sword energy from the elbow down, he was also really fierce, he picked up his severed hand and jumped down to the hidden sword pavilion.

At this time, the fire in the kitchen was almost extinguished, and the guardian heard the sound of fighting in the hidden sword pavilion, and came to help one after another. Seeing Ren Sanfa's ugly and hideous description, everyone was startled, and took a little slow action.Ren Sanfa screamed and threw the severed hand to the crowd.

Under the rising sun, the blood spilled from the wound of the severed hand had a strange purple color.

A few people couldn't dodge in time, they were drenched in blood, and immediately felt pain and itching, they threw down their weapons in a hurry, screamed and scratched.The rest of the people all retreated one after another.

Ren Sanfa took advantage of the gap to break out of the encirclement and escape.
