Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 179 In this world, there is no room for conscience in high places

The sky was dark, the heavy snow was getting more and more violent with the strong wind, and the sky and the earth were vast.

Xu Yuanchang landed in front of the gate of the courtyard halfway up Bailin Valley, touched the head of Xue Li, who was shaking his head and tail and came to greet him with great energy, waved to the red willow tree swaying in the wind and snow, and greeted Liu Xianfeng who was staying in the red willow boudoir at the foot of the mountain. Say hello.

It was so windy and snowy that there was no need to bother coming.

He was busy raising a basin of dry firewood in the main room. When the flames rose and the cold air in the room dissipated, he placed a large copper pot with mountain spring water on top of the fire.

Outside the open courtyard door, there was a knock on the door and Yu Fengwu's gentle and gentle greeting.

"I'm here to ask for a cup of tea, so I won't disturb you."

"Yu Dao is friendly and elegant, please come in quickly."

Xu Yuanchang smiled and welcomed Yu Fengwu into the main room, washed his hands, grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them into the copper pot, then went to the next door to get some pieces of glutinous rice cake made by Gouwa's family, put two pieces on the tongs and roasted them slowly. Treat your guests like a redneck.

Yu Fengwu was wearing a set of coarse clothes, and her pretty face was reflected in the firelight, making her look even more beautiful.

There is nothing more cruel and dark than this.

She didn't want to be disturbed, but those people didn't.

Grilling over firewood, a unique countryside experience on a snowy night.

"Qi Zaixing is having a drink with you today. Does he want to ask for your help to jump him out of the fire bed of the foreign affairs department in the courtyard? Does he not want to 'monitor' Jiang Tangtang?"

Maybe we still can't be friends?
Yu Fengwu stared intently at the glutinous rice cakes on the tongs, her smile unchanged, and she said, "It's been a long night, and I'm going to tell you a story from a long time ago, just for fun. I was only a little over eight years old at that time."

This was the first time that he looked at a woman's side profile so carefully that he could clearly see even the fine hair on her face.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Drinking a big bowl of hot tea and eating glutinous rice cakes with charcoal dust removed from the surface, your mouth is full of crispy rice.

However, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, her family made all the chickens, ducks and rabbits she raised into food for her to eat.

Seeing that Xu Yuanchang was very patient in baking the glutinous rice cakes until they swelled, and then turned over and continued baking, she was interested. She took the tongs and learned to bake glutinous rice cakes, chatting and asking for advice on how to make glutinous rice cakes.

They are people from two worlds, and their concepts are very different.

She will hold grudges for the rest of her life.

She lives in the countryside and grows vegetables, but she has plenty of eyes and ears and is well-informed.

When she was a child, she liked to raise chickens, ducks, silkworm babies, beautiful red fish, and a cute little rabbit with snow-white fur and red eyes. She fed alfalfa, cabbage, carrots, etc. every day, and looked at the chickens, ducks, and rabbits. She is growing up day by day and she is very happy.

After Yu Fengwu finished one piece of glutinous rice cake, she took two more pieces from the table and put them on the fire tongs, chatting about things while roasting them.

Xu Yuanchang raised his head and looked at the gentle and beautiful woman next to him, and asked knowingly: "You know that Jiang Tangtang was plundering, raping, and committing crimes in Huanyun Mountain?"

How could the other party speak so lightly?

Flip both sides of the glutinous rice cake several times until it becomes brown and puffy, and the aroma fills the air. The tea in the copper pot is also boiling.

Since then, she has never had any pets or friends.

She didn't understand why she wanted to raise a friend with her own hands when there was obviously no shortage of food in the family. Yes, when she was young, she regarded chickens, ducks and rabbits as friends to play with and talk to about everything, so she killed them. Cooked and made into food?
He also forced her to taste it herself.

She cried and refused. After being fed a few mouthfuls, she vomited until she was in a daze.

Because she doesn't deserve it.

At this time, the deeply buried past was tragically dug up, and she needed to face the reasons that caused her heart to be broken, and piece it together bit by bit, enduring the fear and pain.

"So, you understand why I didn't stop Jiang Tangtang's killing, because I couldn't stop it, and the forces behind him wouldn't allow it. I told you this story because I don't want you to do the stupid thing of using the mantis as a chariot. It's useless. You will take advantage of it. life."

Yu Fengwu turned to look at Xu Yuanchang, her eyes reflected the blazing fire, charming and cold, the smile on her face remained, and she said: "They will only change the talents they think are worthy of transformation according to their ideas.

“No matter how cruel, bloodthirsty, or bottomless that person becomes in the future, they will need enough tools from the Fourth Floor to do so, and they will do whatever it takes, even distorting human nature.

"Because releasing the evil of human nature is a shortcut to break through and advance to the fourth level. It is the result of their many years of trying. In their eyes, the benefits are enough to control the fourth level masters they have trained. They are not worried about backlash, because all who dare to Those who resisted died quietly.”

It was precisely in this way that she was destroyed step by step and turned into a disgusting version of herself.

And there are countless geniuses who die on the way to being changed.

Masters who can successfully set foot on the fourth floor will enjoy the glory of success and fame.

Xu Yuanchang did not dare to look at her, and pointed at the smoking tongs: "The glutinous rice cake is burnt, please pay attention."

Yu Fengwu quickly took out the fire tongs that were inserted into the fire, slapped and blew out the flames burning on the glutinous rice cake, quickly turned the glutinous rice cake over, and continued the topic:

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. I don't want to lose you as a friend who eats grilled glutinous rice cakes with you. "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles." Put away your conscience, and from now on , when you get out of this door, put on a few more layers of 'mask' on your face, and all the laws and rules are for the people below, otherwise things will get messed up, and that won't be good for anyone."

It was rare for her to say so many heartfelt words, as a friend.

After leaving this door, she won't say another word. Life or death is none of her business.

Xu Yuanchang reached out and took out two glutinous rice cakes that were burnt on one side and browned on the other. The skin was thick and he was not afraid of being burned. He scratched each other with the burnt sides, scraped off the blackened part, and handed one to Yu Fengwu.

In this world, there is no room for conscience in high places.

He just does himself.

After eating the glutinous rice cake, the two of them looked at each other and smiled teasingly.

Yu Fengwu twisted her waist and went out, casually breaking the soundproofing ban she had set, and stepped into the dark snowy night.

Xu Yuanchang watched the woman who had revealed part of her true face disappear. He closed the door of the main room, leaned against the door, looked up at the roof for a long time, and finally shook his head with a smile.

Two pieces of glutinous rice cake in exchange for a meal of truth, a good deal.

The next morning, when the wind stopped and the snow subsided and the sun rose, Xu Yuanchang sat at his desk in the study to calculate the extremely complicated formation diagram that Zhao Jun had entrusted to him.

Through the open window, you can see Liu Xianfeng in the yard, pushing snow particles into the snowdrifts to have a "snowball fight", yelling and having a great time.

This is what Liu Xianfeng should be like, playing like crazy.

Treat play as practice and be happy and carefree.

Yu Fengwu walked through the snow to the yard, carried a bamboo basket to the vegetable field to push away the thick snow, chop a cabbage, two radishes, then fetched water, washed vegetables, chopped firewood, and was busy preparing for lunch.

Liu Xianfeng "obediently" followed her around.

Xue Li took the opportunity to escape.

They are snow particles, not snowballs or snowballs.

Xu Yuanchang spent more than an hour organizing the array diagram into nine palaces, numerical arrays, numerical sequences, matrices and linear equations. He had to carefully calculate and disprove it step by step. Maybe there was something wrong with the numbers filled in it.

If you use wrong numbers as the basis for calculations, you will only get deeper into trouble and waste a lot of time and energy.

Put down the pen and put the array diagram away.

Come to the kitchen and help cook together, talk and laugh.

Liu Xianfeng's face looked like a little cat, and she walked out and said, "Qi Zaixing is here. I'll pick him up."

Yu Fengwu put on an apron and laughed and scolded: "You just want to be lazy. It's not like he has no feet and he can't walk down by himself."

Liu Xianfeng laughed and ran fast.

Qi Zaixing visited the Bailin Valley Mid-Levels Courtyard for the first time, and what he saw was a bit scary.

The woman cooking with her sleeves tied up turned out to be shopkeeper Yu, who rarely appeared at Heiji Inn. It was said that she was a powerful swordsman in the late Sanzhonglou who frequently drew her sword to kill people.

At this time, the posture of holding the spatula was as skillful as a chef's.

Brother Xu sat under the kang and lit the fire.

"Lao Qi, let's eat something together."

Xu Yuanchang stood up and greeted the guests warmly, without treating the cook as the shopkeeper.

"No, no, I'm not hungry."

Qi Zaixing waved his hands desperately, with panicked eyes, pretending not to recognize Shopkeeper Yu.

He was afraid that he would be chopped up and turned into a plate of old bacon.

Xu Yuanchang caught Liu Xianfeng who was trying to escape and started a fire. He walked out of the courtyard with Qi Zaixing, who was feeling uncomfortable, walked around casually in the snow and gave some detailed instructions.

For example, you should keep your mouth shut and don't talk about Bailin Valley's cook or anything about Jiangtangtang to outsiders.

You can go wherever you like, no one will control you, and you don't have to work for a free monthly salary.

After the three-year period is over, go back to the inn and courtyard, and so on.

Qi Zaixing handed over his hand and was grateful. He didn't dare to stay here, it was too scary, and running away would be like leaving.

Brother Xu kindly invited him to have lunch.

"Chef Yu is so pretty, is she so scary?"

Xu Yuanchang muttered, turned around and walked back. The identity of his cook was a bit scary.
