Chapter 43: Rain and Winter Chill [ask for monthly ticket]

"Dead--dead, hum--"

The spring rain suddenly became heavy, the jade trees rustled, and amid the continuous sound of resistance, the red waves subsided for a moment, and then there was a mournful and coquettish voice:
"Master, if you don't call more sisters from now on, I won't receive you."

There was a slight groan from the couch.

"Didn't you say that you have the best kung fu and can easily defeat ten men at night?"

"Master, you are not ten men, you are ten cows. In all these years, I have never seen a demon-slaying pestle as strong as yours."

Most of the words spoken by women in a happy place were flattering, but this coquettish voice sounded sincere and even a little awed.

bang bang.

A gentle knock on the door interrupted the aftertaste of the war.

Snapped!
A crisp, trembling sound.

"Go out, and call the best people in your building next time."

"hiss--"

As she walked, she let out a slight hissing sound. The woman with disheveled hair and clothes covered her collar, lowered her head, opened the door and walked out.

After a while.

"Master Hou."

The old man in yellow shirt walked in and lowered his head to the back of the person getting dressed on the couch: "The man came back and said we rushed him too much."

"You're not even qualified to be a dog."

He kept getting dressed and asked in a low voice, "Such a simple thing, but you messed it up twice in a row. And what's going on with Wei Mingqi?"

"…It's just a rumor."

The old man said in a reserved tone, "The evil one seems to have some connection with Concubine Shi. It is said that she and the Queen Mother had a conflict."

There was a sound of clicking one's tongue on the bed.

"How old is he? His taste is not bad. It's a pity that he is such a fellow traveler - has Shi Fengque gone to visit his parents today?"

"It's in the West Mansion."

"It's easy to deal with once we get out of the palace. Those useless people are useless. If we delay any longer, Wanren Mountain will come to its senses. You and Zhaoming will deal with them tonight. If everything goes well, we will leave tomorrow."

"Yes--"

Busy streets.

Shi Fengguan was carrying his luggage and thinking about his future destination.

In fact, there is no need to think about it. Apart from the capital, there is no other place in the world that she is familiar with, so it doesn't matter where she goes.

She wouldn't have been so confused.

If her aunt goes with her and she has family members by her side, she can find a place to practice martial arts in peace. When she enters the secular world or becomes the champion, she can bring her aunt into the secular world without any worries and experience the prosperity of this world.

But the changes were too fast, and her aunt was unwilling to go with her, so she didn't know where to go. She even doubted whether she could really stay there peacefully for ten years after she got out.

wrong.

Hasn't she been alone since her parents passed away? Why didn't she feel lonely before? Why did she suddenly feel empty now?
Is it because of loss of faith?
Shi Fengguan's blank mind couldn't figure this out, but she knew that she should leave the city. When the sun sets and the city gates are locked at night, the results that should have been settled will change.

"Mingqi, eat..."

A familiar voice came from a distance.

Shi Fengguan came back to his senses and found that he had walked to Pomegranate Lane without realizing it. After a moment of panic, he wanted to go back.

'Will there be a chance for us to meet again after this departure?'

As soon as the thought came to his mind, his long legs fell down.

"The Wei guy is really a good friend."

Although such romantic thoughts should not be entertained, and more than ten years is not too long, Wei Mingqi is so capable of causing trouble that I heard that he has been targeted by Cang Liangye. It is hard to say what will happen to him in ten years.

What if she were to enter the martial arts world, or become the best martial artist, and come out to have a drink with him again, only to find that the grass on his grave is too tall—

Then this love will be owed for a lifetime.

As she was thinking, she went to buy some wine, and then her legs and feet involuntarily stepped into the courtyard. Ignoring the playful look of the woman in the green dress, Shi Fengguan walked straight to the young man:

"drink wine."

"nerve."

"drink wine."

"Who are you? Even the gods can't help me when I'm practicing martial arts."

"drink wine."

"..."

There was a strong sense of perseverance in Ying Mei's peach blossom eyes, and there was an indescribable stubbornness in her voice:

"Mr. Wei, have a drink. This is the last meal."

"..." Damn, it sounds like the last meal before execution.

But Wei Mingqi was quite surprised that Feng'er could come before she left. After all, she was the first one he met in Xifu, a colleague?

"Mrs. Yu, pick up some dishes——"

"Oh, okay."

"..."

It was still the same small side room from two days ago, the two of them were lying on the bed, drinking silently - they really didn't say a word, occasionally raising their glasses and clinking them.

boom.

He drank another full glass of wine.

Wei Mingqi drank to his heart's content, and the key point was that he didn't need anyone to urge him to drink, he just raised his glass and drank it all. Although there was no bragging or chatting, the atmosphere was quite good.

"The last cup—"

He said the first words he said tonight, his voice smelling of alcohol: "If you're any later, the gate will be closed. Finish your drink and get out."

"..."

Opposite him, Shi Fengguan, whose eyes were like peach blossoms and whose face was even more ruddy, stared at him for a moment, then drank it all in one gulp without even clinking glasses.

"gone."

She put down the cup and got up from the couch, but she didn't turn around immediately. Instead, she stared at him again:
"If we can meet again, I will tell you everything. If we never meet again, don't blame me for being thick-skinned. It's your fault that you are so friendly with the surname Wei."

"Help me take good care of my aunt--"

"..."

The door of the house was closed and then shut again.

Wei Mingqi lay on the bed and reflected on himself: Was he too nice to his friend? Should good people be pointed at with guns?

And help her take care of her sister-in-law——

Who is her aunt? Shi Fengque? If it's Aunt Shi, then she can be taken care of appropriately.

But it seems that Aunt Shi didn't go with her either. Feng'er's future will be so miserable. She will be alone even though she has a treasure. Who knows where she will hide in the future.

If it were him, he would rather——

wrong!

Wei Mingqi jumped off the bed, rushed into the yard, jumped onto the wall and looked around, but did not see Shi Fengguan.

"What's wrong--"

The people in the main house and the next door came out at almost the same time. Xie Beiling subconsciously looked up at the sky, but there was no trace of any flying birds.

Rumble!
The gloomy night wind and rumbling thunder seem to indicate that winter rain is coming.

"Mother Yu, where's your spear?"

"Give--"

A long weapon wrapped in black cloth was thrown from the wall. Wei Mingqi took it and was about to jump over the eaves, but a man in green blocked his way.

"Where to go."

The voice was calm, not a question, but it had a bit of the demeanor of a parent who was waiting outside the house late at night.

"..."

Wei Mingqi scratched his head, not sure if he was overthinking it, but just in case he said:
"Go see if you can pick up any rare items from the four spirits."

"I do not want."

"Ok?"

"…I mean, it's too late, I'm with you."

Just as she finished speaking, another ripe apricot came over the wall, pointed at the sky and blinked: "If Beiling goes, I'll go too. I'm afraid of thunder when you two are away."

"..."

It is naturally the safest to follow two martial arts masters. Wei Mingqi was about to nod but then he thought of someone and changed his words:

"Go to the front court of the West Palace and see if Concubine Shi has returned from her visit. I'll chase her away. She's drunk, and we can't let anyone take advantage of her."

"You've drunk too much, why don't you let me--"

"It's okay."

Wei Mingqi interrupted Xie Beiling's suggestion and smiled with his white teeth showing:
"If you drink enough wine, the master will be useless. My boxing skills are as high as the Ten Thousand Ren Mountain."

Boom——

The sky is angry and rain falls, bringing a cold winter.

　It’s Monday, and I’m asking for some monthly votes and recommendation votes to help me get on the list.
