It was late at night, the lights in the Mu family's mansion were brightly lit, and the elders of the Mu family gathered together, all with solemn expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Directly opposite them, Jiuye Mu Shangbin put down the spear in his hand and slowly sat on a Taishi chair with the support of a junior from Changfeng Tower.
"I'm old and I don't have the strength to fight with you anymore," Mu Shangbin whispered, his voice a little old and weak, "When I left such a big family behind and fled to Lan Valley, I should have thought of what happened to the Mu family. "
Mu Fan took a step forward and shouted: "Mu Shangbin! You have nothing to do with the Mu family now! No matter the kindness or grudge before, let's wipe it out! Please leave Qingzhou! You are not allowed to have any contact with my Mu family forever!"
"I agree with half of what you said. For so many years, it's really bad for you to have a relationship with me. I can't ruin your family just because of my selfish desires. But, half of what you said is wrong: leave Qingzhou. Hum, although I no longer have anything to do with the Mu family, Qingzhou is still my home, and my granddaughter is qualified to live here. You said it before, we have no relationship, so why are you embarrassing my granddaughter?"
"How many people has Mu Zi killed in the years since he joined Yeyu Xiaozhu? When she returns to Qingzhou, will the Jianghu people blame us for this? I call you Uncle Jiu for the last time, please do your best. Stop harming us all!"
"Weakheads!" Mu Shangbin yelled, "When did the Mu family become so cowardly as you?!"
The words were full of disappointment.
Mu Shangbin came to Mu's house this time for no other reason than to find a place for Mu Zi.
He knew everything about what happened to Mu Zi, and he knew his granddaughter's current situation. She would definitely not be willing to take her back to Chaolan Valley. Thinking about it, she could only keep her home in Qingzhou.
The Mu family was caught in the middle and felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, people in the Jianghu community criticized them, which forced them to distance themselves from Mu Zi, just as Mu Zi's family was massacred a few years ago. On the other hand, they couldn't afford to offend Changfeng Tower. Although they only had a few people here today, if Mu Shangbin was really injured, there was no way Mo Changfeng would commit suicide himself.
After being pretentious for a long time, the Mu family finally agreed to Mu Shangbin's request.
Master Jiu is getting older and can no longer withstand the hardships. It is not easy to achieve such a result.
With Mu Zi's temper and character, he simply cannot accept the kindness of others.
Early the next morning, with the wound still bleeding, she got up and continued to clean up the ruins. He Nannan from Chaolan Valley couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried, so he had to follow her to clean up.
Tang Bailing, who had been exploring Qingzhou all night, leaned against a broken wall and watched the pale Mu Zi struggling to clean up the ruins.
"Who are you angry with?" Tang Bailing asked, "With the injuries you have now, you will die if you keep doing this."
"Let me remind you," Mu Zi, who had been silent, finally spoke, but his answer was wrong. "There are many people who want to kill me now. I am too lazy to care about what you want to do, and I will not stop you. Destiny has decreed, what are you going to do? If you follow this path, you will have to bear the consequences.”
"What you said is right, but no one said that the road can be changed... Master Jiu is not in good health, and he does not plan to go back to Chugu this time. We don't have much money, we can only buy a small house, and we have no ability to spend it. You can use the money to hire someone to clean up your place and build a house for you. I don’t want to be tit-for-tat with you, I just want to advise you to come with us. When you recover from your injuries, we won’t stop you from doing anything you want to do.”
After finishing speaking, he added: "We have negotiated with the Mu family last night, and they will not bother you again. Originally, Master Jiu wanted to come over and have a look at you, but the old man has been working hard these days and his back hurts badly. I really can’t get out of bed.”
Tang Bailing walked over and placed a note on the stone beside her: "This is our address. We will be living there during this period. If you want to come, you are always welcome...Nannan, let's go."
He Nannan was a little embarrassed: "But...Sister Tang, Sister Mu's injuries..."
Tang Bailing sighed: "Nan Nan, then you should stay with her. When she recovers from her injury, she will come to us. It's not far away anyway."
When He Nannan heard what Tang Bailing said, she was very excited.
Very happy: "Okay!"
As soon as Tang Bailing walked away, Mu Zi finally couldn't hold on any longer, and she lay in a row on the ground. He Nannan hurried over to help her up.
"Sister Mu, just rest first, at least until the injury is healed."
Mu Zi didn't want to owe anyone a favor, but now she couldn't even move her fingers, so she had no choice but to let He Nannan help her into the tent.
In the next few days, Qingzhou was peaceful and uneventful.
Originally, after learning that Mu Zi, or Scarface, was in Qingzhou, many people who had enemies with him began to gather in Qingzhou. But news came out from Changfeng Tower that Mu Zi was from Changfeng Tower. At this time, those who wanted to come and kill Mu Zi in an open and honest manner had stopped, but they did not give up and hired some killers to cause trouble for her.
As we said before, this world is not just a killer organization like Ye Yu Xiaozhu, there are also many small organizations.
Fortunately, Tang Bailing's assassination skills were very good, and he quietly solved a lot of troubles during his time in Qingzhou.
However, there is no principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. After all, Tang Bailing is not invincible and cannot keep an eye on Qingzhou City every day.
It snowed in Qingzhou. The snow was very heavy. In less than half a quarter of an hour, there was already a thick layer of snow on the ground.
Living in a tent in this weather is very difficult.
Mu Zi was sitting in the tent, with a thick blanket spread under him and quite thick clothes on his body. Medicine was boiling on the small stove. He Nannan found a lot of straw from somewhere and spread it on the tent outside.
So, it was quite warm inside the tent.
After working for a long time, He Nannan ran into the tent in a panic to check the medicine on the stove. Read the book
"It's okay, okay, I almost got over it."
After filling a bowl of medicine, He Nannan blew a few breaths of cool air, handed the medicine bowl to Mu Zi, and said with a smile: "Sister Mu, drink the medicine."
Mu Zi stretched out a finger and gently opened the medicine bowl. She looked at the girl in front of her with an innocent smile on her face, feeling a little confused.
He Nannan was even more confused than she was: "Hey? Sister Mu, don't you take medicine?"
Although Mu Zi didn't talk much these days, she still appreciated the fact that He Nannan took care of her and drank medicine.
"Let me ask you, what is your name?"
"My name is He Nannan, and my father's name is He Qing. I heard he was also a hero in the past."
"Are all of you children in Chaolan Valley as naive as you?"
He Nannan smiled sheepishly: "That's not true. They all say that Hu Hu and I are the more naive ones in the valley. Have you seen Hu Hu? She is that silly girl who likes to wear yellow."
Mu Zi's eyelids were drooped and he was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me these days."
"Ah," He Nannan looked very excited, "Sister Mu, are you thanking me? That's great! Sister Tang also said that you will never say thank you to anyone."
Mu Zi had no special reaction and said calmly: "I don't have the ability to return favors to others right now, so I want to say thank you. You go, don't stay here anymore."
"But your injury is not healed yet."
Mu Zi didn't say anything, lifted the quilt from his body, and stood up unsteadily.
He Nannan hurriedly helped: "Sister Mu, what are you going to do?"
Mu Zi picked up his spear, took two deep breaths, endured the pain in his body, and walked out of the tent. He Nannan also followed out.
Mu Zi looked at the heavy snow in the sky and said to He Nannan: "I have already thanked you, and we have settled the matter. Let's go. If you stay, you will die."
He Nannan asked: "What do you mean?"
Mu Zi turned to look at her and suddenly smiled. There was both happiness and relief in this smile. She inserted the spear at her feet: "I didn't expect to feel the kindness of others before dying... Your name is... He Nannan, right? Okay, Nannan, thank you for taking care of me these days, I know , some feelings of kindness will make both parties feel uncomfortable just by saying them out loud, but I still want to say it... Even if a person is about to die, he will be kind to his words. If I am lucky enough to survive, I really want to try to make a few friends. Completely forget the past and say no
I must still want to find a husband or something... Let's go, they are coming to kill me. "
As she finished speaking, rapid footsteps began to be heard deep in the snow. There were a lot of people. Judging from the sound of footsteps, there should be more than a dozen people.
He Nannan realized what had happened and said hurriedly: "Sister Mu! Come with me!"
"I'm tired and can't walk... I can't persuade someone with your personality to leave. Let me put it another way. Go and ask for reinforcements. The two of us can't defeat these people."
"I can't leave you here alone! If anything happens to you, Master Jiu will scold me."
"It's better to be scolded than to die."
Mu Zi held the spear firmly and held it at his side: "Go, if you come back late, I will really die."
He Nannan gritted her teeth and said loudly: "Sister Mu! Just hold on, I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he ran towards the distance.
After He Nannan left, Mu Zi breathed a long sigh of relief. The gun in his hand was a little weaker, and he murmured to himself: "As expected... I still don't want to owe any favors."
Those people were already in front of her, and under the snowy light, she could see those people clearly. Although he is a killer, he is definitely not the killer of Yeyu Xiaozhu, because people from Yeyu Xiaozhu will not be so amateur.
She raised her spear, not intending to surrender.
After a few days of rest, Mu Zi's injuries healed a little, but only a little. Just blocking two long knives caused the wounds on her body to reopen. To make matters worse, at this time, her stubborn disease broke out, and her whole back was in pain, which was so painful that she couldn't stand.
At this moment, Mu Zi gave up, she didn't want to torture herself anymore.
Let go of the spear, close your eyes, and accept your fate calmly.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman's voice.
"Don't touch Sister Mu!"
Mu Zi opened his eyes again and smiled bitterly: Silly girl, why did you come back to die?
He Nannan was also trained by Chen Yan. Although his swordsmanship is not as good as that of Jade Amber, he is still very good at fighting, comparable to Fu Xiaohu.
Just now, He Nannan ran far away before she realized that she had been deceived by Mu Zi. With Mu Zi's current physical condition, it was impossible for him to survive until the reinforcements arrived. This was simply because he did not want He Nannan to die together.
This simple-minded little girl figured it out and came back without hesitation.
After all, Mu Zi couldn't hold on anymore and his body fell among the rubble. The moment she lost consciousness, she tried her best to say: "Run... idiot..."
