When people are immersed in something, time often passes quickly.
For example, in this Hongmei Villa, several months passed in a hurry, and neither Meng Xiuyuan nor Song Qingshu noticed it.
Among them, Meng Xiuyuan searched for the White Ape and Snow Valley every day during the day, and practiced martial arts at night, and lived a very fulfilling life.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was completely immersed in sweet love. He only cared about his deep affection with Zhu Jiuzhen all day long. He naturally hoped to stay here as long as possible.
During this period, Meng Xiuyuan wanted to ask Song Qingshu to return to Wudang Mountain several times, but his good nephew had a beautiful woman in front of him, so he couldn't bear to do it.
How many days?"
The weather is getting colder like this, and the end of the year is coming soon.
In the past few months, Zhu Changling's family had behaved normally, and there had never been any signs of plotting anything. They had only been treating the two of them warmly, which seemed a bit flattering.
It stands to reason that no matter what conspiracy they have, they should be ready and start taking action within a few months.
Since nothing happened, it meant that they probably didn't have any bad intentions towards Meng Xiuyuan.
This warm reception and the operation of offering magical skills are just to win over Meng Xiuyuan and join the big ship of Wudang Sect.
After thinking about this, Meng Xiuyuan felt more at ease and started doing his own thing.
…
On this day, Meng Xiuyuan returned from outside the village, but still could not find any trace of the "Nine Yang Magic".
Instead, he returned to the room, opened the door, and saw Song Qingshu holding a beaded hairpin in his hand, silently lost in thought.
Under the candlelight, Song Qingshu looked at the pearl hairpin, his face was full of deep affection, and his eyes were so sticky that he could almost pull out his hair when he was in love.
Meng Xiu saw this and secretly thought something was wrong, so he quickly brought up the old matter again:
"Ahem, Qingshu, you should pack up and prepare to go back to Wudang in the next few days.
The weather in the Kunlun Mountains is unstable. It's easy to go on the road now when there's no wind or snow.
If it's too late and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, it will be too late for you to leave..."
As expected, when Song Qingshu heard Meng Xiuyuan mention this matter, his expression immediately changed:
"Uncle Junior...I, I don't want to leave.
You haven't left yet, so what's wrong with me staying here for another two months?"
When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head silently in his heart, secretly sighing that this boy had indeed succeeded.
Originally, Meng Xiuyuan only wanted to let Song Qingshu get in touch with Zhu Jiuzhen and let him taste the pain of love. After getting along for a long time, he gradually saw his true face and learned a lesson.
But I didn't expect that Zhu Jiuzhen was not very young, but his acting skills were really superb, and he deceived Song Qingshu to death.
A few months later, Song Qingshu, who had always been extremely intelligent and thoughtful, not only failed to see the true nature of this "bad woman", but instead fell deeper and deeper into it.
Looking at the current state of him and Zhu Jiuzhen, I'm afraid they are not far away from confiding their hearts to each other and making a lifelong commitment to each other.
Meng Xiuyuan understood that it would be too late for this stupid boy to realize it on his own, so he had to interrupt.
After all, considering the character and personality of Zhu Changling's family in the original novel, Zhu Jiuzhen is indeed not a good match.
As the first disciple of the third generation of Wudang and the son of Song Yuanqiao, Song Qingshu had a special status, and his marriage was widely implicated.
If he were really allowed to marry a woman like Zhu Jiuzhen, he would most likely be ruined in the future, and the entire Wudang Sect would probably suffer disaster and humiliation as well.
"Qingshu... let me tell you directly.
That Zhu Jiuzhen is really not a good person, unlike what you see on the surface.
I initially let you come into contact with her just to lend her a hand to temper you.
"The more beautiful a woman is, the more she will lie to others." I thought that with your intelligence, I could figure it out.
But I didn’t expect that I would still have to tell the truth after all.
If you believe me, then go back to Wudang."
Meng Xiuyuan also felt a little uncomfortable when Song Qingshu, who was the same age as him, spoke in this tone.
It was just helpless that he couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he could only act roughly.
Unexpectedly, when Song Qingshu heard this, he actually asked:
"But Uncle Master, how did you know?"
"What?" Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand.
"I mean, uncle, how do you know that Zhen'er is not a good person?
Obviously you and her haven't spoken much during these days.
How did you learn about her personality?"
Song Qingshu looked straight at Meng Xiuyuan with very firm eyes.
"This..." Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised by the question and couldn't answer for a while.
Song Qingshu has been with Meng Xiuyuan since he was a child. He has seen all kinds of miraculous things about Meng Xiuyuan and has always believed in what Meng Xiuyuan said.
That's why Meng Xiuyuan said such nonsense before.
Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu suddenly began to "question authority" for the sake of love.
This actually defeated Meng Xiuyuan's army, because he really couldn't produce evidence at this time.
Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan remained silent, Song Qingshu felt more confident and continued to say forcefully:
"Uncle Junior, I know your first impression of Zhen'er was not good.
That day, she allowed the dog to bite people, which was indeed inappropriate and seemed a bit cruel.
But Junior Uncle, Zhen'er is just a little arrogant as the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, young and ignorant, it's not her nature.
After Uncle Zhu's reprimand at that time, he had completely repented.
Over the past few months, I have spent time with her day and night, and I have come to know her best as a person. In fact, she is the most gentle and kind-hearted in nature.
Don't talk about anything else, just look at Uncle Zhu, a man from a famous family who is kind, righteous, and repays kindness. Will the daughter he gives birth to be a treacherous and evil person?
Junior uncle, I think you have misunderstood Zhen'er too deeply..."
Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but have a headache when Song Qingshu said "Zhen Er".
The gentle and kind-hearted Zhu Jiuzhen, the affectionate and kind-hearted Zhu Changling, sound a little funny inexplicably, but their family has really performed so well in the past few months that Meng Xiuyuan can't produce any evidence to refute Song Qingshu.
If he, like Song Qingshu, had not known their family in advance, I am afraid that he would have left the same impression in a few months.
He knew that it was not Song Qingshu's fault, but that he had underestimated the acting skills of Zhu Changling and his family from the beginning. At this moment, Meng Xiuyuan could not help but secretly think about how to find evidence, expose the true face of his family, and make Song Qingshu wake up.
But Meng Xiuyuan's silence made Song Qingshu feel more and more that he had persuaded him, so he struck while the iron was hot and said:
"Also, little uncle, you are too uninteresting.
I heard that when you went out to explore the world, you met a very beautiful heroine in white, and the two of them were so sweet holding hands.
Why do you want to object to my getting close to Zhen'er when you come to my place?"
Song Qingshu said this because he actually wanted to joke with Meng Xiuyuan, but after Meng Xiuyuan heard it, his face suddenly became serious and he hurriedly asked:
"Who did you hear this from?"
Song Qingshu was a little surprised when he saw Meng Xiuyuan's appearance, and said in confusion:
"That's the little girl named Zhou Zhiruo. After she was sent to our Wudang Mountains by Shopkeeper Dong of the Virtuous Business Gang, she told you all about your experience of saving their family.
What, is there something wrong with the other party?"
Meng Xiuyuan frowned even more when he heard this and asked quickly:
"Then Zhou Zhiruo was sent to our Wudang Mountains? Why didn't you tell me about this before?
What exactly is the situation? Please tell me more carefully."
Song Qingshu felt helpless when he heard this and said:
"It's not a big deal. You didn't ask, so I didn't tell you. There's nothing strange about it.
Probably not long after I met you at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Zhiruo, her parents, and a family of three were sent up the mountain by Shopkeeper Dong of the Virtuous Business Gang.
Grand Master happened to be out of seclusion at that time. I heard that these people were coming for you, so I personally met with Shopkeeper Dong.
I don’t know what they said, but I only know that it was Grand Master who took the initiative to leave Zhou Zhiruo on the mountain, and Zhou Zhiruo’s parents were also placed at the foot of the mountain, with disciples from our sect taking care of them on weekdays.
The little girl is too young and a bit shy. She often stays alone and doesn't want to talk, so we disciples of the Wudang Sect don't have much contact with her.
The things you said about saving her also came from Grand Master's mouth.
You don’t know that Master Tai was so happy when he found out about you and the ‘heroine in white’ that he said it was a pity that he didn’t know who he was from…”
Speaking of this, Song Qingshu subconsciously brought the topic back to himself, and said angrily:
"I don't know what the Master's attitude would be if he knew about the matter between me and Zhen'er.
Anyway, I definitely won’t be like you, little master uncle, who can deny it with just one sentence..."
When Meng Xiuyuan heard Song Qingshu's words, he felt angry and funny at the same time.
He didn't say anything that was not important. It was obvious that after he came to Hongmei Villa, his whole soul was taken away by Zhu Jiuzhen, and other things were forgotten.
But when it came to Zhou Zhiruo's matter, Meng Xiuyuan was indeed a little surprised.
At that time, he instructed Zhou Zhiruo's family to seek refuge with Shopkeeper Dong to make a living. In order to avoid being implicated in the Wudang Clan, he deliberately did not reveal his identity.
But I don't know how shopkeeper Dong guessed his identity at once, and even took the initiative to send Zhou Zhiruo's family of three to Wudang Mountain.
Fortunately, from what Song Qingshu said, there should be nothing wrong with the matter and no trouble.
At this point, Meng Xiuyuan could no longer persuade Song Qingshu, so he could only drop the matter for the time being.
…
In the following days, while Meng Xiuyuan was searching for the "Nine Yang Magic", he also began to pay attention to collecting some trivial information about the Hongmei Villa.
These included going to Zhu Changling's study at night to secretly check his account books, and asking the tenants of Hongmei Villa during the day about Zhu Changling's reputation.
It was not that Meng Xiuyuan wanted to target Zhu Changling, but after reading the original work, he was indeed curious whether the Zhu family of Hongmei Villa had done any evil before this.
Unexpectedly, only a few days have passed, and there has not been much progress in collecting evidence. On the contrary, there has been a breakthrough in the search for "Nine Yang Magic".
That day, Meng Xiu was traveling through a canyon when he suddenly heard the howling of wolves and the chirping of monkeys.
He didn't pay too much attention to it, because these two animals were often seen in the Kunlun Mountains.
But what he didn't expect was that even though he didn't take the initiative to look for it, the sound got closer and closer.
Only a moment later, a group of wild wolves were seen emerging from the forest, followed by a group of monkeys chasing them.
There are a lot of wild wolves and they are very fierce, but they suffer a lot from the monkeys.
Whenever they turn their heads and want to fight back, these monkeys will dexterously climb up trees to avoid them. When these wild wolves want to leave, these monkeys will chase them and hit them with stones they picked up.
I don’t know why the two parties have developed hatred, but they always look like they will never stop fighting.
When Meng Xiu saw this situation, his eyes lit up.
Just because this group of monkeys were obviously stronger and smarter than what he had seen in the Kunlun Mountains in the past, making them appear extraordinary.
