in the world of murder

Chapter 19

Just after the seventh day of the lunar new year, teaching resumed on the mountain.The joy of the Chinese New Year was quickly washed away by the class. The Lantern Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the foot of the mountain.

Fugui thought of a way, asked for leave and went down the mountain to sell things.When he came back in the evening, he learned from his seniors that Xi Zhen had won the ringleader this time.

He was a little surprised, and went to look for Xizhen with the snacks bought at the foot of the mountain.

Xizhen's courtyard was tidied up, two lanterns were hung in front of the door, and clusters of stone vines in the corners covered the wall, which indicated prosperity.Xi Zhen stayed in the room alone, the room was brightly lit, he was leaning on the rocking chair, flipping through books and eating at the same time.

"I brought you the five-flavor preserved fruit from Chengdongtou, come and taste it." Fu Gui entered the room and sat down at the Eight Immortals table.

Xi Zhen put down the book, showed him the dried meat in his hand, and said, "I'm already eating it."

Fu Gui was surprised, "Where did you come from?"

Xi Zhen was quite proud, "Xie Li went down the mountain and bought it for me."

"Eldest senior brother?" Fu Gui rolled his eyes, moved to Xi Zhen's side, and said, "I also heard that you won the championship today."

Xi Zhen raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows swaying, "It's nothing, I just want to say, how could Xie Li disobey me."

Fu Gui smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, she looks like a witch who is a disaster for the country."

Xi Zhen lifted her chin proudly.

After the new year, although there are still two occasional snowfalls, the grass and trees under the mountain have sprouted green shoots, which are crisp and fresh, which is eye-catching.

The first class that morning was Go.The class didn't matter much, the students were staggering and drowsy.Xi Zhen pulled Xie Li who was in front of him to talk to him, and wrote several ways of writing a word in his palm.

Suddenly a man came in from outside, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, holding chess scales and chess pieces, walked up to the top, and put the things on the desk.

Xi Zhen looked up and frowned tightly.That person was none other than Xuan Yunhuai who had been demoted to be a servant disciple.

Xie Li followed his gaze and said, "He is related to Master Han, and is now Master Han's teaching assistant."

Xi Zhen sneered, "This is Jiuyi Mountain, not their Xuan family's education."

Master Han, who taught Go, was the one who fooled around in the Tibetan scripture building, and Xi Zhen didn't think much of him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't attend this class." Xi Zhen put the book on the table, Xuan Yunhuai heard the movement and looked over here.But he just took a look, and then looked away, with a gloomy air all over his body, as if he was really an ordinary book boy.

Xi Zhen showed disgust on his face, he thought for a while, then pulled Xie Li up again, "You are not allowed to go either!"

The two ran out of the school under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xuan Yunhuai was still the same, only looking at Xi Zhen's back with those gloomy eyes.

Xi Zhen led Xie Li to skip class, and ran across the row upon row of houses, across the deserted Sun Moon Terrace, across the long bluestone brick road, and ran all the way to Xiantian Cliff.Xi Zhen was as enthusiastic as a ball of fire, Xie Li looked at him, and felt that Jiuyi Mountain, which has lived for so many years, had a rare bright color.

There was no one on Tiantian Cliff, so Xi Zhen ran up, and the wind blowing from the cliff made his robe rattle.

There is a green pine on the edge of the cliff. The crown of the tree stretches out of the cliff, and the branches are vigorous and straight.Whenever it snows, the canopy of the green pines is covered with a thick layer of snow particles, and occasionally a gust of wind blows the snow particles into a fog.

Xi Zhen sat down on the edge of the cliff, swinging his feet back and forth.Xie Li sat beside him, looking towards the valley.The snow hasn't melted yet, and the mountains in the distance are still covered in silver.And in some places, the grass and trees have sprouted new shoots, and the fresh and tender green color breaks the dullness of winter at a glance.

Xi Zhen suddenly turned his head and looked at Xie Li.He looked at Xie Li's profile, his slender eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, his bones were very beautiful, with high browbones and deep-set eyes.When the tails of the eyes are drooping, there is no reason for a cold Bodhisattva appearance that shows pity for all living beings.

Xi Zhen suddenly approached Xie Li and gently kissed his eyes.Xie Li subconsciously closed his eyes and felt Xi Zhen's slightly cool lips.

"Xie Li," Xi Zhen said suddenly, "If I push you down now, then no one will compete with me for the position of direct disciple."

Xie Li opened his eyes and looked at Xi Zhen.Xi Zhen knelt in Xie Li's arms, holding his face, and asked, "Do you dare to jump down? Are you willing to jump down for me?"

Xie Li looked into Xi Zhen's eyes and said softly, "I don't want to."

Xi Zhen frowned, his eyes drooped, and there was a kind of coquettishness in his pity.

"You are a liar," Xi Zhen said, "You lied to me when you said you liked him."

Xie Li laughed, he pinched Xi Zhen's chin, bit his lips, and said in a low voice, "You are the one who lied to me, you didn't give me anything, you just wanted me to die for you."

Xie Li lowered his head, sucked his lips, and ravaged him wantonly.Xi Zhen didn't hide either, and put his arms around Xie Li's neck, giving him a green response.

After a long time, Xie Li stroked his cheek and whispered in his ear: "If you are willing to accompany me, I will jump down."

It was almost noon when Xie Li returned to his yard.Before entering the house, Cheng Lian ran to him in a panic and said, "Brother, something is wrong, the Lord of the Mountain told you to come over!"

Xie Li turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

According to Cheng Lian, after he and Xi Zhen skipped class, Master Han became furious and not only called the law enforcement elders, but also sued the mountain master.The Lord of the Mountain asks Xizhen for questioning, but Xizhen pushes all of them on Xie Li, saying that Xie Li took him to skip the class.

Xie Li pondered for a moment, then went to the school with Cheng Lian.There were many brothers and sisters surrounding the school, and when they saw Xie Li, they immediately dispersed and made way for them.Xie Li walked into the school, and immediately saw Xi Zhen standing on one side.

Xi Zhen raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at him, the kind of smile mixed with complacency, waiting for a good show.Xie Li lowered his eyes, and the smile in his eyes was fleeting.

The mountain master at the top sat upright, showing no expression, and only asked Xie Li, "Is what Master Han said true?"

Xie Li said: "The disciple did skip class."

The owner of the mountain nodded and said: "Then punish you to go to the mountain and chop twenty dead trees, as a warning to others."

The disciples outside started whispering, and Xi Zhen's expression also changed. He never thought that he would be punished so severely.

"As for Xizhen," Shan Zhu said, "you will be punished by copying the door rules ten times."

Master Han was still dissatisfied, but the mountain master gave him an indifferent look and had to shut his mouth.

The mountain master left, and the brothers and sisters gradually dispersed. Xi Zhen wanted to say something to Xie Li, but Xie Li ignored him and left on his own.

The mountains and forests are quiet, and there are still snow and dead leaves on the ground.Xie Li's robe was thrown aside, and he was only wearing a single shirt.He raised his arm high and then lowered it heavily, the ax struck the wood, and the muscles of Xie Li's body were faintly revealed following the movement.

Xi Zhen stood behind a tree and peeked, it was getting late, Xie Li just chopped the tree again and again, his clothes were drenched with sweat, the silk was tightly attached to his shoulders, showing more and more a Good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

A dead tree as thick as two people's arms fell down with a crash, and a few pine cones rolled down from it.Xie Li stopped his movements, and looked at Xi Zhen behind the tree with his eyes.

Shocked, Xi Zhen came out from behind the tree and smiled embarrassingly.

"It's getting late, I'll bring you food."

Xie Li held the ax in his hand, looked at Xi Zhen, that barbaric and domineering aura appeared on him again, making Xi Zhen daunted.

"Come here." Xie Li said.

Xi Zhen looked at Xie Li vigilantly, "You don't mean to hit me, do you?"

"I think..." Xie Li's gaze lingered on Xi Zhen as if it had substance, "I want to strangle you to death."

Xi Zhen was at a loss for what to do in his eyes, as if he felt offended by his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Master to punish me so severely." Xi Zhen muttered, begging Xie Li for mercy.

Xie Li looked at him heavily, then suddenly pulled him over and bit his neck hard.

Xi Zhen yelled and pushed Xie Li hard, "It hurts, it hurts to death!"

Xie Li let go of Xi Zhen, the wound on his neck saw blood, and the blood was red on the snow-white skin, Xi Zhen yelled more and more.

Xie Li lowered his head, licked the wound, and the tip of his tongue rolled the bright red blood into his mouth.

Xi Zhen was speechless all of a sudden, and his breathing became lighter, as if he was really going to be swallowed by Xie Li.

"Do you know it's wrong?" Xie Li said in a deep voice.

Xi Zhen nodded quickly and said, "I know I was wrong, so I won't dare next time!"

Only then did Xie Li let go of Xi Zhen.Xi Zhenzhen touched the wound on his neck with lingering fear, and saw Xie Li sitting on the fallen tree trunk resting, he also followed him, handed him the fox fur, and said: "Put on your clothes quickly, it's hot and cold. sick."

Xie Li just put it on casually, and said, "We will continue to cut down trees later."

"Still chopping?" Xi Zhen said: "It's almost enough, I haven't copied the school rules ten times."

Xie Li glanced at him, Xi Zhen immediately sat upright and said: "I brought you something to eat, you can eat something before continuing."

The sky was completely dark, only Xingzi sprinkled a little light through the shadow of the tree, Xi Zhen supported his head, watching Xie Li eating slowly.

Although Xie Li came from a poor family, he has learned all kinds of etiquette very well, and his every move is extremely elegant.

After eating, Xie Li will continue to cut down trees.Xi Zhen urged him to give up but failed, Xie Li asked instead: "Why don't you stay with me and atone for your sins."

This Xi really didn't want to, he muttered: "I haven't copied the ten times of the school rules yet."

Xie Li thought for a while, and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts? It's so late, you can't see the road clearly, the mountains are covered with trees, and you can't see a single person. You don't know how many ghosts hide in places you don't know Woolen cloth."

"How can there be ghosts in the mountains?" Xi Zhen frowned and looked at Xie Li, "You are so stupid, there are mountain gods in the mountains, how dare ghosts appear in front of the mountain gods?"

Xie Li paused, not knowing what to say for a while.
