Sweet as candy

Before the morning light hit the eaves, Xue Shiji got up lightly.

Xi Fu was curled up under the quilt and still sleeping soundly. Xue Shiji pinched his face lightly, picked up his clothes and closed the door.

The villagers all make their living from farm work and do not sleep too much. The woman in the neighboring house has already boiled hot water. When she saw him go out, she smiled shyly and pointed him in the direction of the hot water.

Xue Shiji thanked her for her kindness, and after hastily washing up, he walked towards Xiao Lang's courtyard.

A small table was set up in the courtyard, and Xiao Lang was checking a letter with him.The green tea leaves are tumbling in the white porcelain bowl, and the steam is curling up.He picked it up and took a sip, then looked up at Xue Shiji who was striding in: "Woke up so early."

"I had a good rest last night." Xue Shiji begged for a cup of tea: "What are you looking at?"

"News from Xuzhou." Xiao Lang handed him the letter: "Look at it."

"Flower pickers?" Xue Shiji hurriedly glanced over a few lines, and said in surprise, "No way, the county government over there in Xuzhou is so useless that even a flower picker can't be caught?"

"The thief's martial arts are good. Xuzhou's policemen have been circling with him for almost a month, and they didn't even catch a shadow." Xiao Lang said: "It is said that the flower picker stole some things from the girl's house. People started to attack, but the news has already spread, and people in Xuzhou City are in panic, so I want to ask people from the Wulin League to help solve this matter."

Xue Shiji folded the letter paper and stuffed it back to him, propped his chin and said, "But it would be too much for you to go. Besides, the matter here hasn't been resolved yet, so who's going to make up your mind if you leave?"

"It's closer to Xuzhou, so it's more convenient for me to go." Xiao Lang glanced at him and said with a smile: "The leader said that another person will be sent here for the matter here. As for you, the choice is in your own hands. Whether to stay or not?" Next, follow me to Xuzhou, it's up to you."

"Of course I want to be with you." Xue Shiji said without even thinking about it: "I think I have to tell Leader Song sometime, let him treat me as your oil bottle, and I will follow you wherever you go, just don't Thinking about letting me accept other people, if he wants me to follow Liang Pian again, I will do it alone!"

Xiao Lang had a headache and said: "I really don't know if I should thank you for showing your loyalty to me or should I pull the leader to stop kicking your ass?"

Xue Shiji grinned heartlessly, and before he was happy for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he realized: "Ah, I know!"

Xiao Lang was able to calmly deal with his surprise: "What's wrong?"

Xue Shiji looked suddenly enlightened, and leaned in front of him: "I know why the leader appointed you to go, I just remembered, Xuzhou, Xuzhou! That's a well-known rich man with gold and silver everywhere! Xiao Big brother, does President Song want you to win over the officials there so that they can spend some money in the next martial arts conference?"

Really nothing can escape this guy's eyes, Xiao Lang smiled lightly and said: "Did Shi Ji forget that the royal family and the government will never participate in the matters of the martial arts conference? But it is half right, the leader this time I was asked to go to Xuzhou because I really wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the local rich businessmen and gentry about the martial arts conference."

Xue Shiji showed a look that I knew, tilted his head and said sympathetically: "So, it's time for you to betray your appearance again, Brother Xiao, if the daughters of those rich merchants know that you are going to go there, they will definitely want to swallow you alive ……Why!"

Xiao Lang calmly withdrew the palm he had slashed out horizontally, his eyes moved up and down his neck with warning, Xue Shiji repeatedly begged for forgiveness, and Xiao Lang said: "It seems that you have been too free recently, if you have the time to tease me, why don't you follow everyone?" Let me go to the village to visit those lonely mothers-in-law, I heard that they all like you."

Xue Shiji made a silent gesture with a bitter face, and Xiao Lang wanted to tease him a few words, but seeing Xifu running over, he decided to save him some face in front of the children, so he gave up.

Xue Shiji had no brothers, so he was happy seeing Xifu. He picked up Xifu and bumped it a few times, which made the child giggle. He thought of a question: "Then let's go, what about these two people?"

He was referring to Xifu and Mu Yunyi. Xiao Lang frowned, and before he could speak, Xifu became anxious when he heard it, and twisted his body to get off Xue Shiji.

He rushed over and hugged Xiao Lang's leg with perfect precision, the tears in his eyes quickly condensed into a puddle: "Brother Xiao, where are you going? Don't leave Xifu behind."

Xue Shiji was most afraid of seeing women and children shed tears. Once the Happy Gold Doudou fell off, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He put his hands on his legs and watched Xiao Lang coaxing the children stiffly.

Xiao Lang sighed, squatted down and looked directly into Xifu's eyes, and wiped away his tears with his sleeve: "Xifu, don't cry, Brother Xiao and Brother Xue just have something to go out, you and Brother Amu Stay here first, Brother Xiao will send many people to protect Xifu."

Xifu shook his head stubbornly: "No, Xifu just wants to follow Brother Xiao."

Xiao Lang was speechless for a moment, Xifu was frightened by the silence again, and asked with a small voice, "Is there something wrong with Xifu? Brother Xiao told me, I will change it. I will be obedient, brother Xiao, don't hate Xifu." blessing."

He is just a five-year-old child, he can't even speak, but he promises that he will be good in the future, and begs Xiao Lang not to leave him alone.Xiao Lang looked at his so well-behaved appearance that made people feel distressed, his heart was all tangled up.He hugged Xifu, patted his junior comfortingly and said: "Brother Xiao didn't mean that, Xifu did nothing wrong, you are very good."

"But Brother Xiao is leaving." Xifu choked and said, "Brother Xiao doesn't want me anymore."

"I won't want you." Xiao Lang said softly, "Why would Xifu think so?"

Xifu's fair face flushed red, and his chest heaved violently: "Father and mother just told me to let me stay in the water tank obediently, and they will come to pick me up soon. But, but they don't like Good luck, none of them came to pick up Xifu, and now Big Brother Xiao doesn't want Xifu either..."

Xiao Lang felt great pain in his heart, hugged the fragile body in front of him tightly, and said softly: "No, no, Xifu, your parents love you very much."

"But they didn't come to pick me up." Xifu said stubbornly, "Because I'm not good, my parents don't like me anymore."

Xue Shiji's eyes were also red, and he couldn't listen to Xifu's introspection anymore, squatting on the bed and touching his head, he said, "Don't say that, Xifu is good, your parents love you very much, they did it for you. To protect Xifu, I handed you over to us."

Xifu stopped crying and turned around to look at him in confusion.

Xue Shiji said: "Because your elder brother Xiao's martial arts is very high, your parents heard that he is powerful, and want you to become as powerful as him, so they entrusted you to our care."

Xifu looked at Xiao Lang suspiciously, and asked for confirmation: "Really?"

Xiao Lang paused, and Xue Shiji winked desperately across from him, telling him not to make the child sad.

"Yes." Xiao Lang patted his head lightly, and said softly, "Brother Xiao is just afraid that it will be too hard to go out, and Xifu will be tired if he follows Brother Xiao."

Xifu hurriedly said: "No! I'm not afraid of getting tired, I promise!"

Xue Shiji hugged him distressedly, Xiao Lang knew that the child's stickiness to him might not be able to disintegrate in a short while, so he sighed and acquiesced to take him on the road.

Xue Shiji leaned over to discuss with him in a low voice: "Don't worry, little fat man will be watched by me. What about the other one?"

Xiao Lang glanced outside the wall and thought, the other one is more sensible than this one, so it should be easy to talk about.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yunyi immediately refused: "I will go with you."

Xiao Lang suddenly had a headache, but he still persuaded him with good words: "It's safe here, our people will guard you. Your injuries are not healed yet, I am not as good as Shi Ji, and the doctor can take good care of you. It is not conducive to running around with us. Rehabilitation."

Mu Yunyi said indifferently: "The doctor has explained everything that needs to be explained, and I can take care of myself."

Xiao Lang said: "But the environment here is more conducive to your self-cultivation. If you need to find me for anything, just talk to the people here, and they will contact me."

"Then what am I going to do for revenge?" Mu Yunyi said, "Didn't you say to tell me when I get well? You can also choose to tell me the answer now, and I will find them myself."

One big and one small, each one is more difficult to deal with.Xiao Lang wailed in his heart, what kind of organization is the first-line popular, you are alone and brazenly want to seek revenge from them, isn't it a thousand miles to send someone's head?

He could only coax Mu Yunyi with the tone he used to coax Xifu before: "I know you are eager for revenge, but firstly, your wounds have not healed, and secondly, there are many people on the other side, and you don't know their details, so there are many dangers. A gentleman takes revenge ten times." It's not too late, the Martial Arts League has some connections with your enemy, I see that you have practiced martial arts, you can take care of yourself, raise your body and join the Martial Arts League, and you will surely get revenge in the future."

This person even threw out the Martial Arts League to lure him. If ordinary people heard the name of the Martial Arts League, they might be excited to join this backing mountain on the spot to seek shelter, but Mu Yunyi's thoughts were far from that.

Those rebels who chased and killed themselves did not find their body for a moment, so they couldn't feel at ease for a moment. At this moment, they must be searching for traces of themselves, and this place is too close to the place where they fell, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time.

These martial arts decency are incompatible with the first-line prosperity, and the sect is torn apart due to civil strife. Those people will never take the initiative to approach the forces of the martial arts alliance for a while.But compared to the mixed martial arts league, Xiao Lang, the candidate for the martial arts leader, is more conducive to his search for news.

Besides, he is a person with amnesia now, what reason does Xiao Lang try to reason with a idiot with amnesia?

Mu Yunyi silently glanced at Xifu, who was watching the fun while sucking candy, and pointed, "Then why can he go?"

Xifu, who was called by the name, was surprised, and quickly turned his head and fell into Xue Shiji's arms, pouted his buttocks and tried hard to reduce his sense of existence, praying that Brother Xiao would never abandon himself because of Brother Amu's words.

Xiao Lang: "..."

You are such a big person, why do you still care about children?

Seeing this, Xue Shiji rubbed Xifu's little arm, lightly bumped Xiao Lang's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Hey, it's agreed, they are both going, I will only take care of the children, the older ones This is up to you."

Xiao Lang: "..."

Mu Yunyi saw that his expression was loose, and continued: "I will take care of my body. Although I am not good at martial arts, I can still help you with small things. I don't know anyone here. I can only feel at ease when I follow you." some."

Xue Shiji smiled and said, "We didn't rescue you so that you could work as a laborer for us. Besides, what are you going to do for us? Do you know how to wash clothes and cook?"

Xiao Lang coughed, signaling him not to hurt others.

Mu Yunyi, as a first-line young master, apart from practicing martial arts since she was a child, she can be regarded as being spoiled and raised.He had never even touched what Xue Shiji said, but when he looked at the helpless Xiao Lang, he suddenly thought of something.

"I can teach you how to play chess."

"What?" Xue Shiji and Xiao Lang were both startled, then Xiao Lang's eyes lit up and he began to think seriously, while Xue Shiji laughed loudly and said, "Brother Xiao's chess skills? Amu, you are really brave! "

Xiao Lang gave him a blind eye in a wordless way: "Is it funny?"

Xue Shiji was not afraid of him, he held his belly and laughed so hard, Xiao Lang moved away from him in disgust, and said to Mu Yunyi: "If you insist on following, then go together. But we have three chapters, follow us, revenge You must not be radical, if you act impulsively on the way, I will ask you to leave."

Mu Yunyi nodded, and Xiao Lang said again: "You don't need to pay attention to what Shi Ji said, he was just playing with you. About playing chess..."

He paused, and said: "Last time you said that you don't know many characters, how about this, you teach me how to play chess, and I will teach you how to read, okay?"
