For Xu Mulin, he can face any situation of his own and solve it calmly, but Xu Mulin cannot face Xu Qingjiu's pain, no matter what the reason is. Previously, Xu Mulin was trapped in the guilt of hiding something from Xu Qingjiu, and just wanted to confess the truth to Xu Qingjiu. However, Xu Mulin tried to confess to Xu Qingjiu the truth that Xu Enze mentioned to him when they were in Ziqingtang. But after learning that Xu Qingjiu had also been running away from the past, Xu Mulin secretly decided not to mention anything about Xu Qingjiu's past from now on.

But at this moment, facing Xu Qingjiu's initiative to mention it, and listening to Xu Qingjiu's words that seemed to be very relaxed, Xu Mulin knew that Xu Qingjiu didn't want anyone to think that he was still stuck in the bad luck of the past. But Xu Mulin understood and felt it so truly. Xu Mulin, who had always been calm, could only stand there in panic, not daring to easily comfort him, and even less willing to cooperate with Xu Qingjiu in pretending that everything didn't matter.

"Qingjiu...I...I..."Xu Mulin didn't want Xu Qingjiu to feel his long silence, so he opened his mouth randomly but didn't know what to say, so as not to bring more intense pain to Xu Qingjiu's long-unhealed wound.

"Senior brother, please take me out for a walk tomorrow. Wuzhou is much more lively than Meizhou. We had been staying in Ziqingtang with Master before, and we were almost like monks and Taoists."Looking at Xu Mulin's stunned look, Xu Qingjiu regretted that he had not spoken more gently, so he had to continue to make amends. Xu Qingjiu remembered what Xu Mulin said to him in the broken house that day, and understood that the things he had suffered in the past were not It was his own fault. He knew that with these people around him, his future would get better and better, but Xu Qingjiu felt that it might still take some time. Maybe with a longer time, those pains would eventually fade away. Xu Qingjiu felt Qingjiu never felt that he should make everything pass faster by spreading his pain to others, so from beginning to end, Xu Qingjiu only suffered it silently.

"......"

"Senior brother, are you okay?"Xu Qingjiu knew that the walls had ears, so he leaned close to Xu Mulin's ear and whispered:"Let's find out the news while walking around, okay?"After saying that, Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin who was still looking at him and said nothing, so he could only continue:"Thanks to the owner of the village for his birthday in two days. We are all invited to stay. We have to prepare a gift for him, otherwise It’s not appropriate either. Senior brother, what kind of gift do you think is appropriate?"

"Qingjiu, I will give you whatever you want. Maybe some people can’t do that...."

"What do I want? What I want may not be suitable as a gift to the owner of the village." As he said that, Xu Qingjiu frowned and scratched his head,"Let's go outside tomorrow and take a look. Fortunately, brother Jichu gave us a lot of money to prepare for it. The gift is not too shabby. What do you think, senior brother? Senior brother, just take me out for a look. I have to finish my work and go back to Tianzong. I don’t know when I will have a chance to come out again. Seeing that Xu Mulin was still unmoved, Xu Qingjiu had no choice but to step up his offensive.

"Whatever Qingjiu thinks is good, I will take you there tomorrow. You can choose whatever you want, or whatever you want. Senior brother will buy it for you."Seeing Xu Qingjiu's expression relaxed, Xu Mulin did not want to take the initiative to talk about those painful things anymore, and chose a non-verbal way, hoping to give Xu Qingjiu some comfort,"I think of your birthday. At that time, I only cooked a bowl of noodles for you, but now it looks very shabby.

Xu Qingjiu retorted without the slightest hesitation:"How shabby is it?" The noodles cooked by my senior brother are hard to find."

"Yeah?"Xu Mulin remembered the joke he told Xu Qingjiu that day,"It seems that when we open a store in the future, we will definitely make a lot of money. Qingjiu must not count money every day until his eyesight is turned."

"So good, so good."Xu Qingjiu briefly imagined that scene, and felt that there was a lot of hope for the future. His eyes suddenly shone, and he seemed to have seen the money falling.

Xu Mulin was amused by Xu Qingjiu's look, as if he was helpless. He teased and said:"How come a place as quiet and quiet as Ziqingtang makes Qingjiucai obsessed with it like this? Although Master is not serious, it seems that he is not like this, and I am even less like this."

"Originally we could go to the village at the foot of the mountain to find something to do and earn some money to spend, but since we were banned by the leader, we only have a little money every month and live in such a tight situation....Call...Things must turn to the extreme. Besides, what's wrong with being obsessed with money? If we had only relied on our little money along the way, we would have gone to the streets to beg like little Qin Yue."

"No, senior brother is here."

Xu Qingjiu felt that she had to agree,"Yes, there is no need to beg. My senior brother and I can practice martial arts and perform on the streets. The legendary things like crushing big rocks on the chest and swallowing swords. This is a good idea, and it should be possible. Can make a lot of money.

Seeing Xu Qingjiu's eyes glaring, Xu Mulin hurriedly interrupted Xu Qingjiu's thoughts,"The more you talk, the more irrelevant it becomes. If master hears this, he will definitely despise you and ruin his reputation.""

"No way, Master will probably agree with my idea very much. After making money, he will also have money to buy wine, right?"

Listening to Xu Qingjiu's words, Xu Mulin also felt that they were very reasonable and had no way to refute, so he had to admit defeat and said:"Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Boss Xu."

Xu Qingjiu was very pleased with the title"Boss Xu" and felt very proud. All the bad emotions he had just now were swept away.

In this way, the two of them settled down in Longyin Manor. Zilai After that day, Xie Chi was probably busy entertaining guests and rarely showed up. Instead, he had his badge given to Xu Xu so that they could come and go freely. Although Xu Mulin was still quite wary of Xie Chi, seeing Xie Chi doing things Zhou Quan, after the two of them stayed in the village, they didn't bother them much. It seemed that they only used Longyin Village as an inn for Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu. Xu Mulin gradually became less indifferent to Xie Chi, and occasionally While rushing past the village, I would also respond to Xie Chi's polite words.

"Mr. Xu, why do you prepare food by yourself? Are the people under me not taking good care of me?"

"Mr. Xie is worrying too much. It’s just that Xu is used to eating porridge and side dishes, so he doesn’t want to bother the people in Mr. Xie’s house with such a trivial matter."

"Mr. Xu, please be polite. You two are my guests at Longyin Manor and you should be taken care of. How can you cause trouble?"

"These are all trivial matters, so Mr. Xie doesn’t have to worry about them. The affairs of Longyin Manor have been complicated recently, and Master Xie must have been very hardworking, but the more so, the more careful we have to be to prevent the good from getting mixed up."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Xu for the reminder. Then Xie won't delay Mr. Xu's meal. Xie also had something to do, so he went to work first. Xie Chi raised his hand and was about to salute and leave, but then he remembered something and reminded him:"The banquet will start at You hour tomorrow. Mr. Xu can finish his own business before coming back.""

"good. By the way, I haven’t thanked the manor owner for the waist badge yet, thank you very much."Xu Mulin saluted.

"Mr. Xu is so polite, just use it as conveniently as you can. Xie Chi returned the courtesy,"Xie went to greet the guests first. Mr. Xu, please forgive me if there is any inconvenience.""

"Thank you, owner of the village, for your permission."

When the people from Longyin Village brought food last night, they also brought a pot of wine. Xu Mulin indulged himself for a moment and allowed Xu Qingjiu to drink a little more. As a result, the wine was very strong and Xu Qingjiu was drunk. Not lightWhen Xu Mulin got up the next day, he went to prepare hangover soup for Xu Qingjiu, and made clear porridge to soothe Xu Qingjiu's spleen and stomach.

"Still dizzy?"Xu Mulin sat by the bed and looked at Xu Qingjiu who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Xu Qingjiu slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times quickly before saying:"I'm not dizzy anymore. Fortunately, my senior brother did it. Hangover soup, otherwise I would have to stay in bed today and not be able to go anywhere."After saying that, Xu Qingjiu slowly sat up.

"I didn't expect that wine to have such great stamina. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have let you drink it."Xu Mulin helped Xu Qingjiu sit up, then stood up and went to the table to get the porridge again,"Drink some porridge, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach later."

"It's okay. I'm seventeen. It's okay to get drunk occasionally. Senior brother, don't treat me like a child all the time."Xu Qingjiu took the bowl from Xu Mulin's hand. As soon as the porridge was in his mouth, Xu Qingjiu felt it was very sweet. His stomach, which was still a little turbulent just now, calmed down.

"You just celebrated your sixteenth birthday not long ago, why did you grow up to seventeen all of a sudden?"Xu Mulin followed Xu Qingjiu to the table, took Xu Qingjiu's empty bowl, filled another one and handed it over, looking at Xu Qingjiu and asked in a funny way.

"Yes, after you turn sixteen, you’re seventeen, right? Xu Qingjiu, who was busy eating porridge, still took time out and said proudly to Xu Mulin:"Senior brother, do you think what I said is right?""

"Hmm~ That’s right."Xu Mulin replied very sincerely.

With Xu Mulin's approval, Xu Qingjiu smiled more and more proudly. Seeing an empty bowl next to him, he quickly put down the bowl and filled Xu Mulin's porridge,"Senior brother, you can drink too. I'm sorry to have you busy all morning again"

"good."Xu Mulin took the porridge and took a sip, looked at Xu Qingjiu and added:"It is true that he is seventeen, and he is becoming more and more polite to his senior brother."

"where? Brother, didn’t you realize that I was eating people and borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha?"Xu Qingjiu smiled, and then said in a low voice with some embarrassment:"Besides, if you don't serve senior brother a bowl, the pot will be bottomed out soon."

Listening to Xu Qingjiu's words, Xu Mulin just felt that he was in a good mood, or seeing Xu Qingjiu being so romantic, cute, and casual, Xu Mulin felt that he was in a good mood. After breakfast, the two of them went out to find out about Li Jihua. , around noon, Xu Qingjiu was attracted by the aroma coming from a restaurant, so the two of them did not return to Longyin Village and ate outside. Maybe the breakfast was too light, and Xu Qingjiu ate a lot for lunch. , after finishing the meal, Xu Mulin asked Xu Qingjiu to sit and rest for a while, so as not to be in a hurry to go out and get distracted easily. Xu Mulin went downstairs to check out first, and wanted to order another portion of the food that Xu Qingjiu just liked so much. He took the fried fish back for dinner in the evening. Xu Mulin also secretly walked a few steps into the kitchen to see how the fried fish was made. After that, he went back to cook it for Xu Qingjiu. When Xu Mulin succeeded in stealing it, he was satisfied. He carried the package upstairs, but when he opened the door of the private room, Xu Qingjiu, who was sitting at the table, disappeared. Xu Mulin hurriedly stepped in and wanted to look around. As soon as Xu Mulin entered the door, he felt someone reaching out from behind. A sword was placed on his neck. Xu Mulin was about to take action to subdue him when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Qingjiu in the corner near the door. Xu Qingjiu had fainted there. The familiar woman in red also held a sword. Xu Qingjiu's neck was so close to Xu Qingjiu's neck that Xu Mulin had to stop his movements immediately.

For Xu Mulin, it was no problem to restrain these two women who had fought before, but Xu Mulin was not completely sure. It was guaranteed that Xu Qingjiu would be unscathed. In addition, these two women stunned Xu Qingjiu but did not rush to kill him. Xu Mulin concluded that they must have exchange conditions.

"What do you want?"Xu Mulin said bluntly,"No matter what you want, let me remind you that if you hurt my junior brother, then don't even think about your life. Even if he loses one hair, it won't be enough."

"Don't worry, young master, I just want Xie Chi's life, but now Longyin Village is heavily guarded and we can't get in. I just want to ask the young master to lead the way."The woman behind Xu Mulin spoke first.

"Do you want to keep my junior brother as a bargaining chip in your hands? Until I bring you into Longyin Manor, kill Xie Chi and escape alive, and then let my junior brother go?"Xu Mulin asked coldly. Before the woman behind him could answer, Xu Mulin said indifferently:"It's impossible."

"That's the case..."

"I just said that if my junior brother loses even one hair, your life will only stay here."

Qiu Ji, who originally thought that his plan was perfect, now stood behind Xu Mulin and felt that the cold air around Xu Mulin was almost all over the room, especially where he was, and he couldn't help but feel chills standing on end, even more so. Don't dare to speak and say anything

"The only thing you can use to negotiate terms with me is your own life. Other than that, don't think too much about it."Xu Mulin ignored the sword on his neck and walked towards where Xu Qingjiu was. Then he looked at the woman in red and said,"The ground is too cold. If my junior brother gets sick from the cold, Xu will definitely..." It will also be blamed on you."

The woman in red who was threatened by Xu Mulin wanted to put the sword closer to the skin of Xu Qingjiu's neck, but after meeting Xu Mulin's sinister eyes, the woman in red felt that she could not move her whole body, let alone try to continue. Threatening the person in front of him with Xu Qingjiu.

Xu Mulin raised his hand to hold the sword-holding hand of the woman in red, took out the sword in her hand and threw it aside.

Xu Mulin picked up Xu Qingjiu who was lying on the ground, Putting it aside on the Grand Master's chair, he felt the pulse and breath of Xu Qingjiu's neck and confirmed that Xu Qingjiu was just drugged and fell asleep, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without their only bargaining chip, the two of them were thinking When wondering how to escape, Xu Mulin said without raising his head:"Antidote."

After receiving no response for a moment, Xu Mulin urged him again.

Qiu Ji had no choice but to tell the truth:"I didn't bring the antidote with me. The amount of medicine I administered was very small. He will wake up in a moment. Although you tried to stop me from killing Xie Chi twice, I didn't want to hurt you. I just wanted to take revenge on Xie Chi."

"Your matter has nothing to do with us. No matter how you want to seek revenge from Xie Chi, you have found the wrong person now."Xu Mulin said, his cold eyes reminding the two people in front of him,"After a moment, if my junior brother wakes up safely, then you can leave. If he does not wake up for more than a moment or feels any discomfort after waking up, Then don't even think about leaving this room today. Until then, it's best not to act rashly."
