Ye Jingtang carried the package and walked back to Ranfang Street. It was already past dinner time.
Twenty days after leaving the capital, the old and dilapidated streets were completely unrecognizable. There were sheds everywhere and half-renovated pavements could be seen. The ground needed to be re-paved with green bricks. The old incomplete bricks had been pried open, and there were many potholes.
Standing water.
Jumping left and right on the street, I came to Shuanggui Lane. Before I got close to the yard, I heard from behind the wall:
"Wipe it well and eat only after wiping it."
"Gu."
"Huagu, I have grown round after eating all day long..."
"grumble……"
The familiar voice of the light-hearted sister, and the aggrieved moans of the birds.
Ye Jingtang smiled and walked quickly to the courtyard door. It can be seen that the courtyard is as clean as ever, the bonsai under the melon stand is lush and green, and the doors of the main room and the west wing are open.
Zhe Yunli is wearing a red top, a white pleated skirt with petals, and a double bun that is common for girls who have not left the pavilion. She does not look at all quaint, but more like a well-behaved and smart little girl, cleaning with a feather duster.
Tables and chairs in the main room:
"Uh huh huh~"
In the kitchen on the right, Luo Ning is wearing a green summer dress and an apron, wiping the dusty corners in front of the chopping board; her long black hair is waist-length, with a green hairpin in her head, and her exquisite waist and hip curves
, coupled with a face as delicate as jade, she looks like a beautiful little cook.
The big fluffy bird stood beside the rice vat, with its claws on the linen cloth and listlessly turning in circles to clean the vat.
When I came home from work, I saw mother and daughter tidying up the house diligently, with little pets helping beside them. It felt like...
I feel like I might be beaten to death by the leader of Pingtian!
When Ye Jingtang thought of Master Pingtian, all the distracting thoughts in his heart disappeared and he walked into the courtyard.
"grumble!"
As if he had received an amnesty, the bird dropped the rag and wanted to fly out, but was stopped by Luo Ning's look.
Luo Ning didn't look back, but her wiping movements were a little slower.
Zhe Yunli turned around, revealing his energetic little face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Jingtang holding a bandage in his right hand, frowned, and hurriedly ran to the door:
"Cousin Jing, why are you injured?"
Luo Ning, who was originally cold and cold, turned around immediately when she heard this and saw that Ye Jingtang's right hand was wrapped as if it was broken. Dignity and worry flashed in her eyes. She put down the linen and came to him:
"What's the matter with you?"
"I took care of some small things this morning and had a fight with someone."
Ye Jingtang walked into the house, took out a jewelry box, and threw one to Xiao Yunli.
Zhe Yunli took the jewelry box and just looked at Ye Jingtang's injuries and complexion carefully.
Since Luo Ning met Ye Jingtang, she has never seen Ye Jingtang suffer a loss. Wingless Owl, Zhou Ying, Jian Yuhua, etc. basically all have the same set of tricks. The scene of coming back with bandages is the first time she has seen them.
Luo Ning wiped her hands on her apron, picked up Ye Jingtang's right hand, and pinched the phalanges:
"Who are you fighting with? Can you beat me like this?"
Nightmare Hall was completely fine, it was just a bit of skin damage on the back of his hand, but the Queen was very considerate and bandaged it up to make it look like a crippled hand.
Seeing the rare concern in Luo Nuxia's eyes, Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment and pretended to be in pain:
"I had a fight with the people from Tiefuling. Hiss - it hurt a little."
Seeing this, Luo Ning suddenly became much gentler and ordered in a blink of an eye:
"Yunli, go buy some rice first, and I'll check on your cousin Jing's injuries."
"okay."
Zhe Yunli's eyes were also quite concerned. After carefully looking at Ye Jingtang's right hand for a few times, he carried Niao Niao and ran out of the door.
Luo Ning took Ye Jingtang to the main room, sat down in front of the bed, put Ye Jingtang's right hand on his thigh, and took out the wound medicine.
Ye Jingtang sat down on the bed and watched Luo Nuxia removing the bandages worriedly. He felt that he was going to be beaten later. He thought for a while and hugged Luo Ning with his left hand.
Luo Ning, who was looking for medicine, sat up a little straighter, and a flash of embarrassment suddenly flashed in her eyes. Before she could speak, Ye Jingtang said seriously:
"Give me a hug. Don't get angry when you hug me. You must be willing to admit defeat."
?
Luo Ning gritted her teeth, feeling that this little thief was completely heartless, but in the end she followed the bet, suppressed her anger, and continued to remove the bandages:
"It's now like this, but you still haven't forgotten the frivolous woman. Really... have you met the Angry-Eye King Kong?"
"I met his brother Cheng Laoer."
Luo Ning blinked her eyes, she had never heard of this person before, she frowned and said:
"Cheng Laoer is also a top expert?"
"No, just a street gangster."
"The street gangsters were beaten like this? Are you drunk and can't you stand still?"
"I didn't draw the knife, I hit him with my fist."
"..."
Luo Ning raised her eyes, very baffled:
"Tiefuling is a Henglian sect. You hit someone with your fist? Has the knife been removed?"
"I just wanted to try out how domineering Heng Lian Kung Fu is. He was so powerful in Jianghu, but in the end I beat him to the ground."
Luo Ning opened her mouth, not knowing what to say:
"You are a master of swordsmanship, and you have the nerve to feel complacent when you deal with ordinary thugs and injure your own hands..."
Before he finished speaking, the bandage was untied, revealing the back of his right hand, showing the injury...
Fortunately, Ye Jingtang came back in time. If it had been a few hours later, the wound would not have been found.
?!
Luo Ning was frightened for a long time. Seeing such a result, Liu Ye's eyebrows suddenly stood up. She raised her eyes to look at the Night Jing Hall, and her eyes gradually filled with anger:
"Night Terror Hall!"
Ye Jingtang quickly hugged the angry Luo Nuxia tightly:
"I promised not to be angry. I was indeed injured. It's just that the medicine is powerful and heals quickly."
Luo Ning gritted her silver teeth, threw the medicine bottle aside, and looked away:
"Have you hugged me enough?"
If Ye Jingtang let go, he would probably get beaten up. He must not have hugged him enough, so he changed the subject and said:
"By the way, when I hit Cheng Lao Er today, I punched him, and the skin on his forehead cracked like porcelain. Do you know what kind of skill this is?"
Luo Ning fluttered her eyelashes and turned around:
"porcelain?"
"On the ice, the spider web patterns created by punching down with your fist don't feel like horizontal kung fu at all. Do you think it could be the 'golden scale pattern'?"
Luo Ning's stunning face showed solemnity, and she was remembering seriously when she suddenly frowned and said coldly:
"hand!"
Ye Jingtang was also thinking, and subconsciously slid down a little, and touched something very plump. Seeing that Luo Nuxia was angry, she slid up again:
"Don't be angry if you didn't pay attention."
Luo Ning held the sword on her waist with her hand, her eyes threatening Ye Jingtang for a moment, and then she continued to think carefully:
"Xue Baijin said before that after mastering the Golden Scale Diagram, the skin on the whole body will be as strong as dragon scales and indestructible... The description is very different from what you said, so it shouldn't be the case."
Ye Jingtang doesn’t think someone like Mr. Cheng is capable of practicing the Dragon Song:
"That's probably Qi Men's martial arts. When his brother 'Raging Eyes King Kong' comes looking for a fight, I'll give him a good beating and study it carefully."
Luo Ning glanced at the big hands on her waist. She wanted to be angry but couldn't, so she looked like an iceberg and asked again:
"You haven't hugged me enough? How long will it take?"
"Let's finish talking."
Ye Jingtang turned to look at Luo Ning and asked:
"Is there anyone else from the Pingtian Sect in the capital?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Yesterday, an official was killed by someone from the Pingtian Sect..."
"impossible."
Luo Ning shook her head solemnly: "I just arrived today at noon, and the few incense owners I brought with me are staying outside the city. I am still in the city, and Xue Baijin cannot hide it from me and arrange for people to come to the capital to cause trouble."
Ye Jingtang thought for a while and said: "That means someone deliberately framed it. The murderer used Nanshan Tie Gua Zhang Henggu's Youshen Palm, but no one from the Black Yamen or the Punishment Department saw the problem. Did Zhang Henggu have a defected apprentice?
?”
"Youshen Palm..."
Luo Ning recalled for a moment: "You Shen Palm is Protector Zhang's unique skill. It has only been taught to Xue Baijin and his disciples, and I don't know it. Several of them are in Nanxiao Mountain. There is no way that there are other people in the world who know this skill. It must be because of watching
wrong."
Ye Jingtang was dubious: "Baifa Di confirmed that he is You Shenzhang. Are you sure he is not one of your people?"
"Absolutely not. I know all about the arrangements of the Pingtian Sect. Matters involving the capital city are all about hatred. There is no way that an outsider in the world can take control... Where is the body? I'll go take a look. You must be wrong.
Already."
"It's in the Yamen morgue. You can sneak over there with me at night and find out the clues to the forged palm skills, so I can explain it to the government. Otherwise, the blame will have to be put on Master Pingtian."
Luo Ning naturally wanted to see is to believe. Just as she was about to stand up and prepare, she found that her hands were still on her waist and she took a deep breath:
"Even if I abide by the bet, there must be a time limit. We can only hold each other for a quarter of an hour every day. Once Qiu Tianhe regains his freedom, we will be clear and we will owe each other nothing."
Ye Jingtang nodded: "Okay, as long as Luo Nuxia is happy." She said and took out a hairpin box and handed it to her.
Luo Ning glanced at the delicate hairpin box and originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it for a moment, she looked at the small package next to her:
"Who are you buying the other jewelry for?"
"I bought it for a female friend I know well, but I can't wear it myself."
?
A flash of suspicion flashed in Luo Ning's eyes, and she turned her head to look at the package - there were four more items... There were four women outside...
Ye Jingtang was a little funny: "Don't think blindly, it's just a meeting gift you brought back. Didn't I also buy something for Yunli? If Luo Nuxia doesn't like it, just give it to Yunli. I think she likes it very much."
"What am I thinking about? You...it's not like I don't know your little thief's temperament, and it has nothing to do with me..."
After Luo Ning muttered something, she put the hairpin box aside and stopped talking...
