Another "ye".
Chi Yue took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, asked him to wipe his tears, and then asked, "Have you had a conflict with Chi Anying?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"She wants to return to Source City." Chi Yunyan did not mention the conversation that night, but only stated the reasons for their differences and conflicts.
Chi Anying broke up with her boyfriend who lived in Yuancheng due to a dispute. After coming to the Taoist Temple, she missed the good things about him and couldn't bear to be separated from him, so she wanted to go back.
But Chi Yunyan disagreed.
Firstly, the man's parents don't like Chi Anying and always like to find fault with her, so she may not be happy if she follows that person; secondly, because he has experienced robbery on the road, he thinks there are too many uncertainties on the road and is unwilling to Let her take risks.
"What about you?" Chi Yue did not comment on Chi Anying's private life, but only cared about his thoughts: "Do you want to return to Source City?"
"In no mood."
Chi Yunyan wiped the tears from the end of his eyes.
He frowned slightly: "Sister Ying can live with them, but I can't. That family can't tolerate me. When I return to Origin City, I can only rent with strangers, and my life is not convenient."
"Where did you live before?"
"Living in a tent."
"Chi Anying doesn't care about you?"
"She can't control it." If he stayed with Chi Anying at her boyfriend's house, her boyfriend's parents would be even more disgusted with her.
Chi Yue is really convinced.
She saw it more clearly than he did. Chi Anying clearly chose a man and gave up on him: "Then leave her alone."
Chi Yunyan smiled bitterly and said "Yeah".
Ever since Chi Anying stated that he was not included in his future plans, he knew that sooner or later they would part ways.
She would fit into that home.
And he... will become an outsider.
He suppressed the depression in his eyes, and gradually loosened his clenched fists: "But I don't trust her to leave alone."
"You can ask her later. If she is sure she wants to leave, let her set off with us next month."
"Well, thank you sister."
"Little things." It's just a way.
Chi Yue gathered her coat, her eyes fell on his red eyes, she sighed silently, and then asked him to come in.
A burning fire warms the room.
They closed the door to block out the cold wind howling outside, and sat on their knees in front of the fire, chatting to pass the time.
*
In the blink of an eye it’s the end of next month.
The night before I was going to Qingyang for an appointment, the Taoist temple, which had not seen outsiders for many days, welcomed an uninvited guest with evil intentions.
When the bell on the string rang, everyone was enjoying the roast rabbit, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a rich aroma.
"Someone is coming." Wen Qizhou, who was the first to catch the sound of the bell, raised his eyes and looked at the crowd, signaling them to stop talking.
The main hall suddenly became quiet.
The sound of bells and unclear exclamations reached their ears clearly, and they immediately put down their midnight snacks.
"Xiao Qi, take Xun Song into the basement." Mingzhang walked behind the bookshelf in a few steps and opened the door to the basement.
Yunqi didn't dare to delay, so he picked up Xunsong beside him with one hand, took the candle and lighter and hurried into the basement.
He said: "Master, be careful."
"Yes." Mingzhang told him a few words, closed the door, and crossed the threshold of the main hall with the others with a serious face.
He casually picked up a long stick and asked Wen Yaxian, his wife and Xie Changxiao to follow him to the right, while the rest followed Wen Qizhou to the left and approached the main hall in a outflanking manner.
Wen Qizhou had no objection.
In order to avoid alerting others, he did not turn on the flashlight. Instead, he leaned against the wall of the corridor and walked forward slowly, relying on his long-term experience in Taoism.
Chi Yue, who was half a step behind, stood on tiptoes slightly, holding a gun loaded with bullets in his hand, and carefully observed the surrounding environment to avoid being attacked by the opponent in the darkness.
And the Chi Anying sister and brother who were following them, one with a knife and the other with a stick, were fully prepared before the crisis came.
The four of them passed the thin rope surrounding the wall at twice the usual speed, gradually closing the distance to the main hall.
Suddenly, a flashlight flashed.
The ninety figures standing in front of the incense burner, like them, divided into two groups and approached in the direction they came from.
"This one looks eerie." Someone rubbed his arms twice and stared at the light of the flashlight, not daring to look around.
"What's so spooky?"
"It's hard to say." The young man turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall: "I always feel like the statue inside is staring at me."
"How is that possible? You are thinking too much."
"real!"
"Hey." The tall, strong man laughed: "So what if he stares? Can he still crawl out and stop me?"
The young man did not answer his disrespectful words.
He just said: "Are you sure the people living in the Taoist temple have supplies? Don't waste a long time, you won't even find a grain of rice."
"I've been squatting for two days, what do you think?" He and his brother walked up the mountain for two days. They originally wanted to find a wooden house or cave as a base, but they happened to discover the existence of this Taoist temple.
He smelled the aroma of barbecue and did not rush in. Instead, he squatted outside the Taoist temple for two days before calling for help.
"Okay." The young man didn't question him anymore. He just wanted to stay away from the main hall where the statues were placed: "Let's go faster."
"You are too cowardly."
"Speaking of which, I remembered..."
The person walking at the front was about to tell the young man a scary story about Taoist temples. When his flashlight shined on the corner, a pair of men's sneakers suddenly appeared.
He stopped talking, and before he could confirm whether there was an owner on those shoes, a slender figure suddenly came into view.
A strong gust of wind hit my face.
Those who failed to respond in time were grabbed by the collar by Wen Qizhou and slammed against the wall.
There was a "bang" sound on the back of his head, and he felt dizzy for a while. He endured the pain and raised his eyes, only to see a dagger reflecting cold light being driven towards his neck.
Blood slid down the wall.
The light of the knife brushed across Wen Qizhou's cold brows. He pulled out the dagger that pierced the man's throat, picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground, and shined the light on the other's three accomplices.
When he started, Chi Yue noticed that the three of them didn't have guns, so he took out daggers like him, so as not to scare the snake.
She focused on the strongest man and tried to stab him in the heart with her dagger, but the other man was extremely agile and he also took out a fruit knife while dodging.
They both want each other dead.
Chi Yue leaned back, dodged the fruit knife not far from her neck, and took the opportunity to kick his wrist.
When he became unstable and stepped back, she rushed forward with the dagger in her hand, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a stern look.
Then he struck his chin with his elbow, pressed the handle of the knife and drove it hard into his flesh. When he groaned in pain, he pulled out the dagger and slashed towards his fragile neck.
The moment she finished off the tall man, the two siblings, holding long sticks and daggers, also sent the remaining two to their deaths.
"Bang──"
There was a gunshot from the right.
Chi Yue, who didn't know who was shooting, was worried that something might happen to Ming Ming and the others, so she frowned and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
