Could it be that it is still a supernatural world?
Chi Yuxian looked at the woman in red who was obviously frightened in front of him, and couldn't help but secretly speculate.
However, judging from the other party's reaction, it shouldn't be a ghost.
"you……"
The woman in red was really startled by Chi Yuxian. In the bright moonlight, she suddenly met a man in black wearing an umbrella on a sunny day. Anyone would be shocked.
It wasn't until the woman in red exited that Chi Yuxian gave a slight reaction, but it was just a little cold.
"It turns out it's not a ghost."
After that, he lowered his eyes, bypassed the woman in red and continued walking forward.
There was no one around, and when the other party saw his reaction as if nothing had happened, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the other party's black back, the woman in red raised her hand and touched her throat, which was still bleeding, and breathed a sigh of relief.
*
Chi Yuxian really didn't take this matter to heart. He probably thought that the other party was just dressed up in a special way, maybe to scare people.
As long as he does not believe that there are ghosts in the world, he will not meet ghosts.
After returning to the inn, Chi Yuxian simply washed up and went to bed to get ready for rest.
Most likely because he was in a good mood today, he sat on the edge of the bed, unfolded the blue light screen, and started typing.
What he wrote this time was not long, only one or two hundred words, and he sent it out after finishing it.
I don’t know what the system returned.
Chi Yuxian thought as he raised his hand to open today's reply.
Sometimes he would be surprised by the intelligence of the system. After all, it was a mini-game that he personally designed, so he knew exactly how good it was.
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but he always felt that this reply contained some personal emotions, but he couldn't remember who it was, he just felt familiar.
Chi Yuxian frowned and gave up after thinking for a moment without understanding.
He closed the light screen, yawned, and then fell on the bed and fell asleep.
1. No words at all at night.
The next day, Chi Yuxian, who always liked to sleep in, got up early in the morning.
He first ate a bowl of somen noodles downstairs - a small portion, and then went for a walk on the street.
The surrounding vendors were shouting, and some of the breakfast stalls were busy at this time, with the aroma of various breakfasts wafting around.
Winter is approaching, and there are still people selling candied haws on the streets.
Chi Yuxian's eyes moved away from the red candied haws that looked sour and sweet.
He came out not to buy anything, but to wait and see, hoping to find a job--it wouldn't be appropriate to call it a job, just to perform on the street.
When it's time to play with the knife - Chi Yuxian's steps suddenly stopped, and he stopped in place for a moment to think.
His knife seemed to be broken.
This is good, even the only way to make money is gone.
Chi Yu sighed silently, frowning and not knowing what to do.
To be a bodyguard? He thought seriously, but it seems that rich people don't need him to be a bodyguard. There should be no shortage of people at home.
The road to making money has collapsed before it even started.
Is it possible that he was born with nothing to do with money? No matter how hard I try, I can't hold a few cents in my hand.
Thinking of this, Chi Yuxian's mood suddenly dropped, and he even felt like there was a dark cloud above his head following him.
People passing by would occasionally raise their eyes to glance at the man in black standing on the side of the road with his head slightly bowed. He had eyebrows drawn into his temples and his facial features were deep. He looked very tough, but he didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Perhaps aware of the surrounding gazes, Chi Yuxian lowered the edge of the umbrella slightly, covering most of his face.
He continued walking forward, and there was a tea stall not far away. Since it was morning, there were not many people at the stall. There were two or three tables scattered here and there. Judging from their clothes, they must be hawkers or the like.
Perhaps because he wanted to attract the attention of his accomplices, the speaker deliberately raised his voice, which was completely different from his pretentious and mysterious appearance where he seemed to lower his voice so as not to be heard.
"The daughter of Old Chen's family in the east of the city came back last night!"
After hearing this, the faces of the people around him changed drastically, as if they had heard something incredible.
"Isn't Miss Chen already..." A middle-aged man next to her with a cloth on his shoulders lowered his voice, "Is she dead?"
"That's what's strange about this!"
Chi Yuxian passed by this tea stall. He was originally not interested in this matter, but unfortunately the other party spoke so loudly that it was difficult for him not to hear him.
According to the other party's description, Lao Chen's buried daughter crawled out of the grave wearing a red dress and knocked on the door in the middle of the night.
The familiar clothes successfully made Chi Yuxian stop in his tracks. His face, which was covered by the umbrella, was slightly condensed and a little serious.
So, did he still see a ghost last night?
Chi Yuxian recalled the scene last night and frowned. After all, the other party's reaction at that time was not like a ghost, but more like he was startled.
When he thought about it, he stopped thinking about it. In his heart, what the vendor said was just a trivial matter and not worth worrying about.
*
After walking down the whole street, I couldn't find even a place for performing arts, let alone an escort agency.
Chiyu's heart felt cold. It was clearly a sunny day, but it felt like he was standing in an ice cellar.
He raised the edge of his umbrella and looked at the sky. It was blue and blue, with only one or two clouds floating on it.
As if he really couldn't find a job, the young man in black lowered his eyes, his sharp features being completely obscured by the shadow of the umbrella.
The worst case scenario is to move bricks.
However, this idea was not successfully implemented - Chi Yuxian looked at the familiar figures in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that the world is really small.
Otherwise, how could we meet Huamanlou every day?
The other party is like an NPC that issues tasks. As long as you get close to the other party, you will get rewards.
This thought was interesting, and Chi Yuxian couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.
Huamanlou, who heard the commotion, asked helplessly: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," he suppressed the smile on his face, and then looked at the well-dressed man in white, "This is not good."
Chi Yuxian was talking about how he invited him to live in Baihua Building after being put out of a dilemma by the other party.
Although they had dinner together, they didn't stay overnight. How many days had they known each other? Are you going to live in the other person’s house?
Even though Huamanlou took the initiative, the other party was indeed warm and hospitable, but Chi Yuxian still felt that it was a bit troublesome for the other party.
He refused so decisively, without even the slightest hesitation.
But from Huamanlou's perspective, they have known each other for half a year - even though they only communicate through parrots, they are still considered acquaintances, right?
It's a pity that Chi Yuxian doesn't know this, and still feels uncomfortable about the possibility of troublesome flowers.
At the beginning, he could have separated from Lu Xiaofeng because he was worried that he would cause trouble to Lu Xiaofeng later, but now he was even more reluctant to agree to Hua Manlou.
Chiyu stood idle under the tree, next to the bustling restaurant, and opposite to the flower shop, dressed in white clothes that were not stained by dust.
"I have nothing to repay you, it's not fair to you."
As he spoke, he pulled off the money bag from his waist: "Here, there isn't much money in it. You can't even hear it when you shake it."
After listening to his words, Hua Manlou raised the corners of her lips and softened her eyebrows a little.
However, Chi Yuxian ended up living in Baihua Building. The reason was very simple. The other party just said that Lu Xiaofeng also had a room in Baihua Building.
People like Lu Xiaofeng who like to cause trouble can live in Baihua Building, why can't he?
"Will Lu Xiaofeng cry when she hears this?"
Chi Yuxian raised his eyes and looked at Huamanlou, who still had a smile on his face. After hearing his question, he smiled brightly: "No."
He answered very firmly, as if he knew Lu Xiaofeng very well. In fact, it's almost the same. They are good friends.
The wind was blowing gusts, and it was getting late, so Chi Yuxian went back to the inn to pack his things and keep up with Huamanlou.
He only has one night left in the inn room he rented, so there's nothing wrong with leaving early.
However, even if he couldn't see, Huamanlou could still imagine the expression on Chi Yuxian's face: it should be a little regretful, but also regretful about the rent money, although it was not much.
It was almost as he imagined. Chi Yuxian was really worried about the rent money. The money was not much for Huamanlou, and was even the same as dust on the ground, but for a poor person like him, it was a huge sum of money. huge sum of money.
"Let's go."
The sun was setting in the west, and the orange-yellow sunlight fell all over the earth, making Hua Manlou's white clothes with dark patterns shine brightly.
There aren't many free things in Chiyu, not even a package.
He held the umbrella in one hand and the long-broken knife in the other - this knife could no longer be used. He held it in his hand not out of nostalgia, but purely for show.
At least no one would provoke a person with a knife for no reason, right?
Facts have proved that there really is.
On the path leading to Baihua Tower outside the city, there were many people standing in front of the two people dressed in white and black, all with fierce looks.
Chi Yuxian thought at first that these people were not here for him. After all, the people who came to compete with him were all the same person, and he had never been so "popular" before.
But Huamanlou is a kind person and is not an enemy to others, so no one will come to find him unhappy.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid these people really came here for Chiyu.
"I don't seem to have offended you."
Chi Yuxian only had time to say such a sentence. The next moment, the person blocking them had already raised the weapon in his hand and charged at him.
The other person seemed to know Hua Manlou next to him, so he avoided hurting him.
But Huamanlou would not stand still and take action immediately after hearing the noise.
Unlike people like Chi Yuxian who don't know the full-screen moves of internal force, he is already considered a master, but because he doesn't kill people, he is still a little constrained compared to those extremely vicious people.
With a "bang", Chi Yuxian blocked a strong man's meteor hammer with his scabbard. The opponent's strength was so strong that he was shaken back several steps.
They all remained silent, only attacking Chi Yuxian with great hatred, as if they must silence him this time.
While dealing with the opponent's attack and copying the opponent's moves, Chi Yuxian was very busy for a while.
It's a pity that his sword was broken, and even if he copied the opponent's moves, he didn't have the weapon to use them.
With just one scabbard, he was quickly defeated by the opponent's sharp weapon.
Chi Yuxian raised his eyebrows, his deep facial features looked particularly gloomy at the moment, and his body seemed to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
"careful."
Hua Manlou heard the sound of the blade cutting through the air, and came to Chi Yuxian's side in the blink of an eye, reaching out and pulling him to avoid the fatal blow.
"Thanks."
Chi Yuxian's physical strength was not as good as those of martial arts practitioners, and he was already out of breath.
Who is this person? Why is he not impressed?
Could it be that he is the original enemy?
But after searching the memories in his mind, Chi Yuxian couldn't find any enemies related to the original person.
What's more, the original person seems to have never left Huizhou. If there were enemies, how could he be allowed to live to be more than 20 years old?
Chi Yuxian looked very bad, as if he had been kicked for no reason while walking on the road.
The other party obviously wanted to kill him, but he didn't even know how to provoke him.
"Damn it!"
He cursed in a low voice, his mood quickly sinking.
Hua Manlou, who was beside him, noticed it and frowned almost imperceptibly.
These people's deadly attacks also worried about Hua Manlou, so it took a long time.
This cannot continue.
The two of them thought so in their hearts at the same time.
Chi Yuxian let go and threw away the scabbard that had been damaged by various weapons.
His eyes were piercing, and the outstretched fingers were slender and white, as if they were made of finely carved white jade.
A clear finger? !
The person on the opposite side changed his expression when he saw his sword being taken away by the other party.
Doesn't it mean that this is just an ordinary person without any identity? Why is he not only together with Hua Manlou, but also connected with the rumored Lu Xiaofeng?
"withdraw!"
He gritted his teeth and glanced at Hua Manlou, who was guarding Chi Yuxian's side.
The Hua family can't afford to offend him now, so they have to find another way to deal with this person.
As soon as this word came out, the people who were attacking Chi Yuxian and Huamanlou just now quickly put away their weapons and left, taking with them those who were knocked to the ground by them.
In just a few breaths, the group of people in Wuyangyang disappeared completely.
"Are you injured?"
Hua Manlou stopped her hand, looked sideways in the direction of Chi Yuxian, and listened carefully to what was going on around her.
"No."
Chi Yuxian shook his head, his face a little pale.
Taking advantage of the other party's blindness, he openly raised his hand to cover the wound on his left wrist.
The wound was not deep, and he dodged it in time. It was just that the man holding the sword cooperated too well with the accomplice next to him, and he was accidentally injured by the other party.
Coming down this time made Chi Yuxian understand what the real world is. When fighting against those who came to compete, most of them had the idea of making friends with force, so they did not kill them.
But the people this time are not like those before, let alone so many.
It is surprising to be able to copy other people's martial arts very quickly, but compared with the killers who have been walking around for so many years, Chi Yuxian, who has never been exposed to martial arts before, is still not enough.
After realizing this, Chi Yuxian exhaled slowly, and the fingers covering the wound were stained red with blood.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out and accurately grasped the top of his left wrist: "I heard it."
There was no smile on Hua Manlou's face at this time, her face was still so gentle, but her expression was slightly serious.
After he said that, he stretched out his other hand, and with a little force, he pushed away Chi Yuxian's hand that had been holding the wound.
Scarlet blood stained Hua Manlou's white jade-like fingers, and the extreme contrast between red and white made Chi Yuxian unable to help but stare.
"Fortunately, the injury is not deep. Let's go back and bandage it."
After Hua Manlou found out the situation, he let go of his hand, not caring that his hands and white sleeves were stained red with blood.
There were waves of pain in his wrist, but Chi Yuxian didn't feel any sadness, but instead felt a little excited.
His eyes were glued to Hua Manlou's hand, and he suddenly felt a little thirsty. The injury on his wrist was so small, and he always wanted it to be more serious.
Sensing the change in his mood, Chi Yuxian pressed the corners of his lips slightly, pretending that nothing happened and responded to Huamanlou.
"Um."
He seemed to have inadvertently raised his hand to press the wound on his wrist, and blood instantly overflowed. The black sleeve next to his wrist was soaked in blood, showing a dark red color.
The pain brought back his senses, but it wasn't enough.
Hua Manlou sighed softly, but didn't say anything.
After returning to Baihua Building, he bandaged the injury on Chi Yuxian's wrist: "Don't get wet these days."
"good."
Chi Yuxian listened quietly, looking like a good student.
"those people……"
While Huamanlou was packing her things, she wanted to ask.
Before he finished speaking, Chi Yuxian answered him first: "I don't know them, and I don't know what provoked them."
After he finished speaking, he added: "It should be like this."
Huamanlou naturally believed in him. After all, he would write down what he did every day. Although not everything was remembered, most of the important things would be mentioned.
At least in the past six months, I haven't noticed anything wrong with what the other party has done.
Chi Yu couldn't figure it out and sat there racking his brains.
"Forget it if you can't remember."
Huamanlou sat down and poured a cup of tea: "They probably won't let it go."
Thinking of the ruthlessness of the other party's attack, Chi Yuxian nodded and acknowledged what he said.
"Next time when I come here," the young man in black rubbed the fine cloth on his left wrist with his fingers, "see if I can stay and ask alone."
"They won't come to Baihualou."
Hua Manlou said: "I just noticed that they seemed to be trying to avoid me when they made their move. They must be afraid of the Hua family."
"It's the Hua family after all."
Chi Yuxian seemed to be joking, and his tone was relaxed, as if he didn't take this matter that threatened his life to heart.
"So, the next time they take action will be when I am alone," he yawned, his sharp eyes half-squinted, "or when you are not around."
"So, then I will definitely be next to you."
Hua Manlou said, lowering his eyebrows and sipping the tea in his hand.
He looked very natural when he said this, and did not notice that Chi Yuxian's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.
Those dark eyes seemed to be filled with mud, and as long as a living creature entered, they would immediately sink into them.
"Always hiding is not an option," he said.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to check."
"This is too much trouble for you."
"No trouble."
"still me……"
"We're friends, aren't we?"
Hua Manlou's rhetorical question made Chi Yuxian speechless, and he suddenly didn't know what words to use to refute the other party.
They are friends, so there is no question of whether it is troublesome or not. On the contrary, he should be grateful that he has Huamanlou as a friend.
"Thanks."
After a moment of silence, the young man in black clothes sitting in the darkness spoke, his voice a little hoarse, and his pale face looked gloomy, as if he was not interested in anything.
Hua Manlou smiled lightly, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he got up and went out.
Chiyu, who was left in the hall, did not move, still sitting there.
He lowered his head, and his long hair fell on his shoulders, and because of his movements at this time, it slid down to his chest, blocking half of his face.
By the time Hua Manlou came back, the young man in black who had been silent had already buckled the fine cloth that had just been bandaged around his wrist until blood started to leak out again.
It's just that this time Chiyu caught sight of Huamanlou's figure in his peripheral vision and quickly stopped. This time, he was not noticed by the other party.
"What's this?"
Huamanlou placed the long object in his hand on the table and answered the other party's question: "Open it and take a look."
Chi Yu raised his eyebrows and reached out to unwrap the cloth strips wrapped around it.
A knife appeared in front of him. The scabbard was dark and plain, with only some simple patterns carved on it.
"knife?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Huamanlou with a surprised expression.
"Um."
With a loud sound, Chi Yuxian pulled out the knife with a little force. The silver-white blade dazzled his eyes. It was as white as snow. It was extraordinary at first glance.
"Isn't your knife broken?"
"I can't accept it."
Chi Yuxian pursed his lips, closed the knife with a snap, and put it on the table: "It's too expensive."
He already lives in Baihua Building, how can he accept such precious things from the other party?
Although he didn't know much about these weapons, the knife looked very valuable at first glance, and it didn't look like something from an ordinary weapons shop.
"No matter how valuable the thing is, if its owner has no use for it, it will just gather ashes if left there."
Hua Manlou raised his hand, pressed the knife and pushed it in front of Chi Yuxian: "Take it, I have kept this knife for many years, and I don't need it."
"It's fate to find a good master."
The other party said this with a very firm and unquestionable tone.
Chi Yu moved his fingers idle on the table, his eyebrows lowered, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"I have nothing to repay you for."
he said seriously.
"There are too many flowers and plants in the Baihua Building. It's hard for me to do all the work on my own. Why don't you help me take care of them in the future, as a way of repaying the favor."
Huamanlou smiled and said.
This deal was a sure profit for Chi Yuxian, giving him the illusion that he was eating soft food.
"oh."
He tilted his head and finally put the knife away.
"This knife is called Chasing the Moon." Hua Manlou frowned, "Master Shi Chui once forged a snowflake knife, but I think this one is more suitable for you."
The blade is slightly curved, but the arc is not as large as an ordinary knife. The blade is sharp and as thin as a willow leaf. It really looks like a crescent moon.
It looks like the moon but is not the moon, so it is called chasing the moon.
