Sweet as candy

The rain has no intention of stopping.

Xue Shiji sat at the door of the room with his head propped up, watching the rainwater fall from the eaves to the ground, splashing up and down, his eyes were empty and fixed.

Why hasn't Brother Xiao come back yet?

Just as he was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard, Xiao Lang saw him squatting at the door, and was taken aback for a moment: "Shi Ji, what are you doing here?"

Xue Shiji stood up: "I'm waiting for you. If you don't come back, I'm going to the Kongshan faction to find someone to beg you."

"What nonsense." Xiao Lang said with a smile: "It rained heavily, and the road was delayed, what did you ask me for?"

Xue Shiji took out a letter: "Oh, it's the Yang family who sent an invitation card, saying that they are going to hold a new famous sword conference, asking if you can do me a favor."

"Famous Sword Conference?" Xiao Lang frowned, and took the letter from his hand: "Let me see."

Xue Shiji said: "Didn't they hold it just once two years ago? Why did they hold it again so soon? The Yang family has a lot of money."

"I still have some things here, I can't get away from it." Xiao Lang glanced at him: "How about you go?"

Xue Shiji said: "Me? I'm not suitable, I'm stupid, what if I say the wrong thing when I go to such a big occasion?"

This is indeed a problem that Xiao Lang is worried about.

He thought for a while and asked, "What is Shi Daxia doing recently? Is the boxing class going well?"

Shi Jingtian, who became famous in the first battle of the martial arts conference, opened a boxing class in a town not far away.He has visited it a few times, and it is full of young and energetic children, with their small fists waving vigorously.

Xue Shiji said: "It seems to be pretty good."

"This time, please trouble Daxia Shi to go there on behalf of the Wulin League." Xiao Lang entered the door, took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a clever reply: "I will go and tell him, timing, there is another matter, I want you to do it for me."

Songyu gave him the address of Fu Yan's study, but there were too many things in the league that restrained him, so he couldn't go to interrogate him himself.After thinking about it, only Xue Shiji could trust it.

Xue Shiji came over with his ear, Xiao Lang whispered a few words, Xue Shiji nodded slightly while listening: "Don't worry, leave everything in my hands."

He never cared whether his luggage was packed properly when he went out, so he went to talk to Song Shuyan before leaving.In the end, he was stopped, and he had to add a few clothes and dry food before giving up.

Song Shuyan knew that it must be important for Xiao Lang to send him out alone, so she was delicate and thoughtful, so she didn't take the initiative to ask, but only told him to pay attention to safety.

Five days later.

The setting sun dyed half of the mountain red, and Fu Yan walked side by side with a group of classmates on the road.Everyone was talking and laughing, and after passing a corner, several people said a few words to him and waved goodbye.

Fu Yan answered with drooping eyelids, turned and walked in the other direction.

The alley was quiet, with clusters of slippery moss growing at the base of the walls.Fu Yan had suffered a few times before, fearing that if he was not careful, he would fall down, so he could only slow down his pace and scan his feet carefully with his eyes.

He saw no danger at hand.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, a huge force suddenly came from the side, pulling him to the side.

His face was pressed hard against the wall, huddled into a ridiculous shape.Someone twisted his arm with one hand, covered his eyes with the other, and said in a rough voice: "If you want to live, don't make a sound."

Fu Yan's hands were twisted behind his back, and he felt pain for a while.He couldn't move, and he didn't know who he was offending, cold sweat dripped down his forehead one by one.

"who are you?"

Xue Shiji turned around and walked towards a more secluded place, while lowering his voice: "You don't need to know this. Next, I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. If you dare to lie, your head will be twisted next, obviously? clear?"

After speaking, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it, he exerted some strength.

"Hiss—" Fu Yan took a breath, and quickly said, "I understand, you say it, you say it."

"Are you Fu Yan?"

Fu Yan hesitated for a moment, Xue Shiji lifted his arm up again, and he immediately yelled like a pig: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Holding back his tears, he asked back: "... this brother, no, this strong man, can I ask, what is the enmity between you and me?"

He asked himself that he was very polite in his dealings with others, and his classmates in the school were also willing to talk to him, so he shouldn't be able to make any enemies.

"Are you asking me?" Xue Shiji sneered: "The person you should ask is Ji Hua, right?"

"Ji Hua?" Fu Yan was stunned: "What does this have to do with Ji Hua? You mean, he made you do this to me? Impossible, Ji Hua and I have always been brothers..."

Siblings?People who love brothers and sisters will not go back to visit each other for so long after their death?

But the doubt in his voice didn't seem like a fake, Xue Shiji squinted his eyes, and looked at the back of his head as if searching: "Don't you know, Ji Hua is already dead."

The figure in his hand froze suddenly, and Fu Yan could hardly feel the pain coming from his body in an instant: "What did you say...?"

"I said, he is already dead." Xue Shiji let go of him, turned him around with one hand, and saw that he really had an expression as if struck by lightning: "You really don't know?"

For the convenience of movement, his face was covered with a black cloth.But at this time, Fu Yan was not in the mood to investigate his real identity. Instead, he grabbed his arm excitedly and asked, "Why? When did it happen? Who killed him?"

Who are they interrogating whom?The identities of the two suddenly changed, and Xue Shiji shook his hand away: "It's been almost a month since he left. Since you are his senior brother, how come there is no one to notify you?"

"It's been a month..." Fu Yan's face was pale: "Impossible, he was fine before I left, why did he die suddenly?"

"I was just about to ask you this." Xue Shiji snorted coldly: "Did you introduce a place to work to Ji Hua before?"

"Why are you asking this?" Fu Yan was startled, and said, "You think I killed him?"

Xue Shiji said coldly: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Fu Yan said excitedly, "Ji Hua and I have always been very close, how could I harm him!"

"Then you have to explain clearly what kind of job you introduced him to." Xue Shiji grabbed his collar and looked straight into his eyes: "You know, Ji Hua is dead How miserable, he didn't even leave a whole body!"

"No...no..." As if he couldn't accept this reality, Fu Yan pushed him back violently, and then stood there in a daze, shedding a few tears in a daze: "No, no..."

"I don't believe it, you take me to find him." He grabbed Xue Shiji again: "I want to know what happened."

Xue Shiji frowned and looked at him for a while. Fu Yan lost control of his emotions, and his voice was hoarse.

"Okay." After thinking for a moment, Xue Shiji agreed, "But you have to promise that you will not cause me any trouble on the way, and you must cooperate with me in answering my questions. Otherwise, I will throw you down at any time."
