In the small courtyard where Ye Dang listened, the boy in short shirts and the old liar were each sitting on a chair and stool. After the discussion in the main hall, they returned to the small courtyard. At this time, no one looked at anyone, and they all looked up at the sky.
But what is there to see on this horizon? Eleven placed a plate of peanuts brought back from the previous banquet at their feet, and then went back to the house to rest alone.
Ye Dangting stretched out his hand and was about to grab a few pills and put them in his mouth. The boy in a short shirt beside him suddenly said: "What on earth did you say on the boat that night?" Hearing Lin Manliu's question, Ye Dangting raised the peanut in his hand to himself.
"I've said it before, of course it's the methods to get out of trouble in the villa..." That time I went to Yangzhou to look for leaves and bamboos. After meeting, the two took a boat into the lake, and then fought.
The explanation that Ye Dang heard at that time was that he did not accept the other party's proposal, so the two parties disagreed and started fighting.
But looking back, everything corresponds to what was proposed at the time. All the weapons stored in Yijian Villa were handed over to Quexie, and then the village was closed behind closed doors until everyone returned this time.
The only difference was that he had his own pulse cut off... How could Lin Manliu believe that this was really all that was discussed that night?
The boy in a short shirt spoke up: "Then why did Quexie attack several times, seemingly to embarrass the Villa, but with the intention of rescuing the siege?" Ye Dang listened to the silence, and Lin Manliu spoke again: "So what exactly did you discuss that night? , Why do you need to do this?" As the young man spoke, he looked at the old liar's right hand that was already hidden behind his back.
Ye Dang heard a long sigh and placed the peanuts in his hands between the two of them.
"Indeed, I just talked about the way to get out of trouble..." However, contrary to what he explained at the time, it was he who put forward these opinions himself, and it was Ye Chengzhu who held the objection.
Following the random fluctuations of the old liar in front of him, Lin Manliu watched the peanuts being placed in different positions by him.
First, three pellets were placed side by side, then another pellet was placed in the direction of the young man in a short shirt, and then another one was placed very far away, still beside the young man.
The last one was slightly larger and was held in Ye Dangting's hand, and he did not put it down for a long time.
"In the previous situation, the villa was like these three pills side by side. There was Xunhan Mountain to investigate, and Wenjian Lake was blocking the way!"
"And we can still mediate all these changes, first get rid of Xunhan Mountain and then move to Wenjian Lake, but after that there will still be people like the Slaughter Evil Sect who are eyeing it, so the villa needs to be prepared to bury the name of Hidden Sword!"
"Now that I have everything I have imagined, can the truth be revealed to the world?" Ye Dangting glanced at the boy in a short shirt.
Lin Manliu shook his head. Whether it was Lu Fengbai's question, or the conversation between the old liar and Ye Chengzhu, or the sudden arrival of the Treading Snow Marquis... these things were telling the boy in short shirt that everything was not over yet. Finish!
And it's not like Yijian Villa can escape easily just because it wants to. Lin Manliu said aloud: "Mr. Mo's worries before have finally come to light. Just as Mr. Qinglan said, we can't escape..." Ye Dang agreed with the young man's analysis.
"Hmm" said. Then the largest peanut in his hand quietly fell... and fell straight into the three peanuts side by side!
The three peanuts placed first were smashed into all directions, and even the peanut in the center was almost smashed to pieces.
Ye Dangting said: "And this is the key to breaking the situation!" Lin Manliu looked shocked at first, and then looked up at Ye Dangting as if he had figured out something.
"So all these preparations were never to prevent Xunhanshan, Wenjian Lake, or the Evil Slaughter Sect?" The old liar must know the inside story. He has been preparing for today and even the future from the beginning. prepare for?
Ye Dangting did not rush to answer, but picked with his bare hands. He picked up the remaining few peanuts that were still intact and put them into his mouth.
At this time, the door behind the two people opened quietly, and the woman in black walked out slowly. Ye Dangting did not look back, still chewing the few dusty peanuts in his mouth.
He said in a vague voice: "This is Yu's explanation..." Eleven walked to the side of the two of them. Lin Manliu was about to stand up and give up his seat, but his master pushed him down again.
Then she walked a few more steps, and finally sat down on the ground beside him, lifted the plate of peanuts and put it between her knees.
Ye Dangting reached out his right hand that he had previously lost behind him, and Eleven took it. By the moonlight, no matter who the three of them were, they could clearly see the scars on the wrists.
The theory of broken veins is indeed true and true. The layout of chess is just like this, hidden for thousands of miles. Eleven said softly: "I know what you mean, but why hide it from everyone?" Ye Dang pointed to Lin Manliu with his left hand and greeted him with a smile: "There are as many disciples in the village as Manliu, smart and You are too obedient to lie to others..." Eleven covered his face and smiled, and lightly punched Ye Dangting on the arm with one hand.
Lin Manliu didn't reply. In this situation, he just had to bear with this tactic of insulting people in different ways!
Although a real man lives in heaven and earth, he still needs to be able to bend and stretch! When it's time to bow your head, bow your head. When you should be patient, be patient.
Looking back, if you want to make great achievements, you will not be shabby at all! This thought went through the young man's mind several times, and he just took it for granted.
The three masters sat together in the small courtyard for a long time, saying nothing. Before the banquet tonight, Senior Sister Ji Ting rearranged the boy's hair, saying that it would look better if it was cleaner.
At this time, there was not a single messy hair on Lin Manliu's forehead. All of it was combed back firmly and finally tied into a bun.
"Bean Paste Bun". Because of this, the moonlight reflected on the young man's forehead actually shone slightly?
Ye Dang heard a voice saying: "Now that Master Lin has finished asking questions, he should take a rest early..." Lin Manliu didn't seem to notice anything and grinned: "Is there something that the old liar didn't explain clearly? , now you want to fool me and Master together?"
"Our little Manliu should go to bed early. If he doesn't sleep at night, he won't grow taller!" Eleven said. Okay, Master said so... The boy in short shirt stood up immediately and did not forget to slap Ye Dangting on the butt several times.
"Hey, go back and take a nap! Master, get some rest early!" After Lin Manliu finished speaking, he ran towards the exit of the small courtyard without even waiting for Ye Dangting behind him to react.
Looking at the young man's leaving figure, Ye Dang laughed and cursed.
"Actually, Man Liu... isn't too obedient!" The woman in black next to him hugged his right hand and repeated softly: "That's good, that's good..." Ye Dangting looked at that place Lin Manliu seemed to have thought of something when he closed the courtyard door again.
He suddenly said: "Do you know why I didn't mark it clearly when Yourong said we would leave letters to each other?" Eleven
"Huh?" I asked, waiting for his next words. Ye Dangting lowered his voice and said: "Because long before that, I wanted you to ask me in person..." The woman in black then rolled her eyes at him and responded: "The glib tone... it's scary to hear Are you panicking, are these your hard-to-get tactics?" Ye Dangting tilted his head and moved closer to Eleven, who did not avoid it.
"But judging from the final result, it's still a success!" Looking at it from another perspective, isn't this also a hidden secret?
...The boy in a short shirt walked out of Ye Dangting's small courtyard and walked alone on the path in the backyard.
Lin Manliu passed through several courtyards, and from time to time there were some subtle sounds of joy. It seems that the brothers and sisters in the village haven't had enough fun yet, so they plan to invite a few friends to chat all night in the small courtyard where they are resting.
When he wanted to turn to the fork in his courtyard, he found a person sitting cross-legged not far ahead. It was that young Taoist priest, Zhou Mo...
"Master Zhou is here, isn't he waiting for me again?" Lin Manliu took the initiative to strike up a conversation this time. After all, Zhou Mo was always looking for something to do with him when they met several times before.
It can be said that no matter what happens, he will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and no matter what will happen, he will not stay in the backyard.
"Did Young Master Lin think too much and really think that Xiaodao and I are deeply entangled with you?" Zhou Mo closed his eyes and said aloud, clasping his hands on his knees.
If Lin Manliu hadn't known what this person was doing and showed it to other disciples in the villa, they would have thought he was a serious Taoist priest.
"Then I won't disturb Zhou Taoist Master Qingxiu. Get some rest early. See you later!" Lin Manliu said goodbye. But the boy in a short shirt had not taken a few steps toward the fork in the road.
The young Taoist priest behind him spoke again.
"It won't take long, Shaoxia Lin will definitely go to Southern Xinjiang with Master Lu, right?" Lin Manliu stopped and looked sideways behind him.
"So what?"
"I shouldn't have said this, but I still want to warn Young Master Lin. If possible, he will stay in the villa..." Zhou Mo spoke slowly, word by word, and in the end he looked a little embarrassed.
Then the young Taoist priest began to cough out of thin air. Lin Manliu wanted to step forward to investigate the situation, but Zhou Mo raised his hand to block him, and the young man had to stop.
The young Taoist priest seemed to be wiping the corners of his mouth with his other sleeve. After several movements, he clasped his hands back on his knees again.
Lin Manliu had never seen Zhou Mo in such a situation. Therefore, the young man had already made a rough guess about his previous words.
It would not be a good thing for him, Lin Manliu, if he were to start a trip to Southern Xinjiang again this time. The young man in a short shirt raised his hand and saluted the young Taoist priest in front of him, making an unseemly Taoist gesture.
Lin Manliu said aloud: "I would like to thank Taoist Master Zhou for his kindness in advance, but this trip to the west, I have to go..." Zhou Mo looked at him, his face was a little pale, but the sarcasm on his face was still there.
"Or for 'peace of mind'?" Lin Manliu looked into the distance, where Ye Dangting's small courtyard was located.
"Well, since the predecessors have sacrificed their lives to act, the younger generations should do their best!" Zhou Mo looked at his eyes and said sarcastically: "What does other people's actions have to do with you? What does what others want do to you? "
"Master Zhou has already answered for me before..." The boy in a short shirt spoke out. After hearing this, the young Taoist priest waved his sleeves, stood up and left.
Lin Manliu stopped where he was and said jokingly: "It seems like Master Zhou is still waiting for me?" The boy in a short shirt didn't lower his voice, and even raised it intentionally.
Zhou Mo, who hadn't gone far, froze in his steps. He wanted to turn back but couldn't save face, so he had to continue walking forward.
It wasn't until the young Taoist priest could no longer be seen that Lin Manliu continued walking towards his small courtyard.
