Chapter 22 (2/2)
When Xiaodong looks at him, he also looks at Xiaodong.
At that moment, Xiaodong is stiff, and has a guilty conscience of peeping at the bag.
Do you know that he may be sent away?
However, he could not see any clue from the elder martial brother's face. He could only see that his blue cloak was wrinkled and dirty.
The elder brother nodded at him with a smile that made him familiar and reassured.
Master, they took a bath, changed their clothes, and came out to talk to the people. The master asked them what they had done in the past two days and how they were preparing for the Spring Festival on the mountain. Elder martial brother Jiang's answer is in order. Master, they did not go far, but they had already prepared for the Spring Festival on the mountain.”There's only one thing,” said elder martial brother Jiang, hesitating for a moment. He told the master truthfully: ”there is a disciple who has been missing for several days, and everyone says he has not seen him. I've been looked for, but I haven't found it. ”
The master asked, ”which one is it?”
”It's Kenji.”
The master didn't ask much, only said, ”I'll talk about it later.”
Xiaodong is not familiar with other disciples. For one thing, their residence is not here. They are a little far away. They don't practice in the same place. Secondly, these disciples are not free, and many jobs have to be done by them.
But the elder martial brother's eyebrows moved slightly. He looked up at Jiang Fan and Chen Jingzhi.
If other people Mo Chen will not be so concerned, it is Chu er.
After Chen was injured, Mo Chen felt that he was afraid that he could not get rid of Chu er. He wanted to ask people to find out, but he couldn't find anyone at that time. I thought he had a ghost hiding in his heart, but he couldn't find anyone for so many days. He was afraid that he was no longer on the mountain.
Will he leave the mountain for this?
What did you do? Does younger martial brother Chen know?
Chen Jingzhi still lowered his head and lowered his eyes. When he heard the name of Chu Er, there was no movement, as if he did not care about him at all.
That's not right.
Chen Er came out of the house of younger martial brother Chen that day. They knew each other even though they had no important relationship. When he heard that the whereabouts of the people he knew was unknown, there was no movement from younger martial brother Chen, which was obviously wrong. His performance was too unnatural.
When the master came out of the room, Mo Chen asked Jiang Fan about it.
”Who's the one with Chu? Did you say anything? ”
”His roommate is Liu Huilin. I have already asked. Chu er's belongings were still there, and he did not take away the silver he had saved. It didn't look like he was fleeing down the mountain. But he did not show up for days. Liu Huilin and his colleagues are also worried about whether he fell off the cliff because of the heavy snow. Otherwise, he would not be able to stay outside because of his kung fu
”Is there anything more or less in his objects?”
Jiang Fan shook his head.
In fact, he also agreed with Liu Huilin's conjecture.
Chu Er probably had an accident because of the sudden snowstorm that day. It's very dangerous to return to the mountain. If you don't say anything about it, there are several places on the steep cliff. If you step on it and fall down, it will disappear. Where can we find people in such mountains and seasons? There's no place to look for the bones. It's possible to wait for the spring flowers to bloom and the ice and snow melt, but it's meaningless to look for it at that time.
”Keep your eyes on it. Don't be careless.”
This is true. There have been such things on the mountain before. It's not from their sect, it's the hunter on the mountain. When they don't have food at home, they come out of the snow and want to get some game back. They fall down to the cliff and die. They don't find anyone until the snow melts next year.
But Mo Chen always feels that things here are not so simple.
Younger martial brother Chen usually does not associate with others. What did Chu Er go to do with him that day? But Mo Chen wants to ask him, he has disappeared from sight. Is this a coincidence?
Having said this, Jiang Fan said with a smile: ”the elder martial brother should go to see the younger martial brother, too. If you are not here for two days, he doesn't think about food and tea. He looks at Lun Jianfeng all day long. He is really eager to see. He is afraid that you and master are frozen and you are hungry. I don't know why he came back here
Mo Chen also thinks about his younger brother. The rest of the family don't have to worry about it. Only the younger martial brother, who is young and weak, can't help but worry.
”Then I'll see him.”
In fact, Xiaodong has a lot of words to say to his elder martial brother.
He didn't know whether all the scenes he saw in his dream were true. He wanted to exaggerate that his elder martial brother was good at swordsmanship and asked whether his master was really defeated by Master Liu in sword playing.
He also wanted to ask Do you know if the master is going to send him away.
But the more I want to know, the more timid I am. I'm afraid the answer is the worst.
Mo Chen saw his younger brother standing by the bridge from afar. The snow was all over the place. He was wearing a thick coat and wrapped from head to foot. He looked like a fat cotton ball.
Feet on the snow, every step made a creaking sound. Xiaodong heard someone coming from afar. He could tell who it was at that moment.
”Elder martial brother.”
”It's so cold, how can you stay here in a daze? Go inside and talk. ”
After entering the room, without waiting for Xiaodong to speak, the elder martial brother took something out of his sleeve: ”this is for you.”
”This is For me? ” Xiaodong looked up in surprise.
Mo Chen put the translucent quartz stone monkey into his hand: ”on Jianfeng, there are only stones except ice and snow. This is carved by me with a knife. It's not good. Take it and play.”
