Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 253 Midnight White Clothes
Li Wenxuan was lying on the bed. Although he was a little tired, he couldn't help thinking about the day's affairs. He felt that it was natural to be weird, but when he asked himself, he always felt that the woman wearing the bamboo hat didn't seem to have any malice towards him. It really seemed like he was having trouble with himself because of the things on the street, but after thinking about it again, it didn't seem to make sense.

Li Wenxuan tossed and turned on the bed for a while, feeling a little uneasy, still worried that someone would come to make trouble at night, so he quietly climbed out of the window, checked around for a while, and found that there was indeed nothing wrong Only then did I go to sleep peacefully.

Li Wenxuan was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt itchy on his cheeks, as if someone was scratching it with something, so he stretched out his hand to grab it involuntarily. Sure enough, he caught something in his hand. Dazed, but startled in my heart, I immediately woke up.

It turned out that what Li Wenxuan was holding was a piece of cloth. The cloth was hanging down from the bed frame, and it was falling on Li Wenxuan's face. .

Li Wenxuan definitely didn't have this thing on the bed before going to bed. He thought that his lightness skills and hearing skills were good, but who could play tricks and hang these things in front of him in his sleep?
Taking a second glance, Li Wenxuan saw that there seemed to be something written on the cloth, so he turned on the lamp and went to the bed to observe carefully.

I saw a line of words written on the cloth: "thin, ungrateful, lustful and obscene"

When Li Wenxuan read this line, he groaned angrily, and thought to himself: "Although I am not a hero, I am not a bad person either. To whom have I been ungrateful, and to whom have I been lecherous? The prankster is really It's too much!"

Li Wenxuan got angry, and pulled the cloth strip from the bed frame, only to find that there was an extremely thin silk thread connected to the back of the cloth strip, and the silk thread went all the way to the outside of the house. Now Li Wenxuan knew why he hadn't noticed this before. There must be someone pulling the silk thread outside while he was asleep, so that the cloth strip fell down.

Intentionally or not, Li Wenxuan glanced at the cloth again, and saw the handwriting on the cloth, although it looked square, but there was still a lot of elegance in the movement of the writing, most likely it was written by a woman handwriting.

Li Wenxuan thought: "Could it be that I accidentally offended someone? And this person is a woman?"

Li Wenxuan is confused now, thinking to himself that he just lightly touched the girl on the street, although it was intentional, but it really didn't hurt her, and he didn't intend to take advantage of her on purpose, so why should she be poor? Chasing and beating fiercely, pestering him like this, and slandering him with evil words?Li Wenxuan sighed for a while.

Waking up in the middle of the night with a start, Li Wenxuan's mouth was parched. Seeing that the tea brought by Xiaoer last night was still on the table, he didn't think it was from the previous night, so he immediately poured a cup and drank it.

After all, Li Wenxuan just woke up, so he didn't pay much attention to everything, he didn't look at the tea, let alone smell it, he took a sip of tea into his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he immediately sprayed it all over the floor. yes.

Li Wenxuan coughed non-stop, the tea not only spewed out of Li Wenxuan's mouth, but even came out of his nostrils, and even the eye sockets were moist, but the eye sockets were naturally choked tears.

Li Wenxuan groaned in his heart, coughed for a while, and finally healed, but the pungent pain in his mouth and nose still made him very uncomfortable. Li Wenxuan poured another cup of tea, and saw a layer of green things floating on the tea. , what is not mustard?
Li Wenxuan's first reaction was to bring the waiter from the shop, because he brought the tea, but after thinking about it again, forget it, it's not appropriate to shout at him in the middle of the night, maybe it's the same as the situation in the restaurant Similarly, the woman in the bamboo hat did it in secret, the waiter in this shop probably doesn't know it.

First woken up by the cloth strips, and then stirred up by the tea mixed with mustard, who can fall asleep?

Li Wenxuan sat on the bed in a daze, still puzzled by these things.

It was finally dawn, and when he heard that the waiter at the inn had gotten up to work, Li Wenxuan pushed the door open, jumped in front of the waiter, and said, "Xiaoer, I have something to ask you!"

The little girl didn't expect that Li Wenxuan jumped all the way, and came directly in front of him. He thought that this person was not simple, so he nodded and bowed immediately, and said: "Uncle Li has any orders, but it's okay to say, is there something wrong with the small shop?" , let Uncle Li dissatisfy you?"

Li Wenxuan sneered: "Satisfied, I am very satisfied, just follow me to see!"

Li Wenxuan held the waiter in one hand, flew into his room, showed the cloth strip and the tea on the table to the waiter in the shop, and said, "Look, what's going on here?"

The waiter in the shop was illiterate, and he didn't see anything wrong with the cloth, but when he picked up the teacup and smelled it, he sneezed immediately and said, "This...what's going on?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I still want to ask you, this tea was brought to me by you, why did you add mustard to it to harm me?"

The little girl pulled the flesh on his face and said, "I...I don't know, what I sent was tea, how could it be this... Besides, the shop doesn't have mustard."

Li Wenxuan pretended to be angry, and slapped the table hard, using a force of ingenuity in his hand, the table was not damaged, but the teacup was immediately shaken to a height of more than two feet, Li Wenxuan clapped his hand again, and lifted the cup Holding the teacup in his hand, without spilling a drop of tea, he said, "Okay, it's not hard for me to believe you, you have to tell me the truth, who ordered you to entertain me here?"

The little girl showed distress and said, "This..."

Li Wenxuan scolded: "Why, don't you say it? If you don't say it, I will force you to say it!"

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he put on a posture, and wanted to pour down the cup of tea mixed with mustard.

If this is poured down, will it be dizzy?Seeing that Li Wenxuan's kung fu is very good, he can fly around by himself, and even make the teacup jump up like a trick, so he begged for mercy immediately: "I say! I say!"

Li Wenxuan was amused, and said in his heart: "I'm just scaring you, even if you don't say it, I can't really tell you." However, his face was still very serious, and he said: "Okay, you say it, but you must be true. , if I find out which sentence is lying to me, I will still drink this 'good tea' for you!"

The waiter in the shop kept nodding his head and said, "Then... that was yesterday afternoon, a young gentleman came to the shop..."

Li Wenxuan interrupted him and said, "Slow! What are you talking about, a young gentleman? Isn't it a woman with a bamboo hat?"

The Xiaoer seemed completely unaware of the woman wearing the bamboo hat, and asked in a daze, "What bamboo hat, what woman? I haven't seen it before."

Although Li Wenxuan didn't really believe it, but seeing his demeanor didn't look like a fake, he said again: "Forget it, forget it, you can continue talking."

The waiter agreed, and continued: "The gentleman gave the shop five taels of silver, saying that as long as we take good care of you, sir, the five taels of silver will be ours. Seeing that we have so much money to earn, we immediately He agreed, and he also gave us a painting, which shows the sword on Uncle Li's waist, let us take a closer look at you, and welcome in the person who is holding this sword."

Li Wenxuan said: "Is that painting on your body? Show it to me."

But the waiter in the shop said: "That painting is on the shopkeeper's body. It was held by the shopkeeper yesterday, and he has been waiting for you in front of the door for more than an hour!"

Li Wenxuan couldn't help feeling very helpless, and sighed: "Forget it, you go out, I don't blame you for this tea thing, I just scared you, I'm really sorry."

The waiter in the store also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out slowly, but stopped after taking two steps, and turned around and said, "Uncle Li, I have one more word to say."

Li Wenxuan asked: "What's the matter, tell me."

The waiter said: "Uncle Li, the tea in your room should not be spoiled by the minister."

Li Wenxuan felt strange and asked, "Why do you say that, do you know who did it?"

The waiter hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't know, how would I know, but I saw that the young man was very nice to Mr. Li, saying that you would come to stay in the shop, and it would take a lot for us to just clean up the house." Look, even the quilts are brand new, and they said that you were exhausted all the way, in case you would not sleep well, so they specially burned sandalwood to calm the nerves for you before!"

Li Wenxuan's mood at this time was really indescribable, he sighed, and said again: "Okay, I see, what does the little gentleman you mentioned look like?"

The little girl said: "It looks like...it's hard to say, but it's white and clean, and looks quite thin."

"White and clean, and quite thin?" Li Wenxuan let Xiaoer go, but he was always thinking about the appearance of such a person.

Li Wenxuan thought to himself: "The woman wearing the bamboo hat and this young man are one person or two, or is she disguised as a man? From the tone of the waiter in the shop, this young man seems to be very good to me, but the tea is still very good. What's going on? Could it be that these are two people, one is good to me and the other is not good to me?"

Li Wenxuan really didn't understand, so he had to continue on the road, but with the lessons from yesterday, Li Wenxuan was naturally careful in every possible way along the way, but it was a coincidence that he didn't even see a tea shop on the way, so naturally There are no women wearing bamboo hats, or young men with thin skin and tender flesh come to make trouble.

Fortunately, Li Wenxuan was good at it. He caught two pheasants and roasted them on the way. Although it filled his stomach, the journey was too peaceful. On the contrary, he felt empty and bored.

In the evening, there was another town in front of him. This time, Li Wenxuan didn't look for the ruined temple. He asked someone directly to find out where there was an inn. After he understood the way, he wandered in front of the inn and waited for others. Hook yourself.

Sure enough, when Li Wenxuan reached the front door of the inn, the shopkeeper came out with his back foot, and welcomed Li Wenxuan in very politely with exactly the same words as yesterday.

After yesterday's torment, Li Wenxuan was no longer in a hurry to dismantle the owner of the inn first, and he didn't say much. After entering the room, he saw that it was still the same as yesterday, everything was clean and new. There is also a faint fragrance in the room from the bedding, but today the fragrance is not from sandalwood, but from many herbs placed in front of the window.

Li Wenxuan didn't recognize the name of this herb, but the scent was very pleasant, and he was even more curious about the woman wearing the bamboo hat and the young man with delicate skin and tender flesh.

In the evening, the waiter in the store brought the footwashing water again, Li Wenxuan said with a smile: "Your inn treats me really well, the five taels of silver must be earned, isn't it?"

The shop waiter didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded and smiled immediately: "Yeah, it looks like there's nothing left to run away... Huh? Uncle Li, how do you know?"

Li Wenxuan pulled the little girl to sit aside, took out his Qingshuang sword, and said, "My sword is not bad, it is exactly the same as the picture, right?"

The little girl just nodded, but didn't speak.

Li Wenxuan said: "Let me ask you, is it a girl or a young man who gave you money to take care of me?"

The little boy seemed to have a hard mouth, and he stood still and didn't answer.

Li Wenxuan had no choice but to scare him even though it was not his intention, so he waved the Qingshuang sword in front of him, and suddenly pulled out the sword less than half a foot, the cold light of the Qingshuang sword had already shone heavily on the whole room, making people feel ashamed. shudder.

The little girl said "Damn!", if Li Wenxuan hadn't held him up, he would have fallen to the ground.

Li Wenxuan said again: "How about it, can you tell me now?"

The little girl swallowed her saliva, her eyes never leaving the Qingshuang Sword, as if she was afraid that Li Wenxuan would take the opportunity to give him a blow, and said slowly: "That man...that man is a white-clothed scholar."

Li Wenxuan couldn't help saying: "Scholar in white clothes? Why is this a scholar again?"

The little second continued: "It's a white-clothed scholar, white-clothed, white-booted, and white-haired. People look very energetic, just like a little fairy."

Li Wenxuan asked: "Does he look white and tender, and also quite thin?"

The waiter said, "Yeah, yes, Mr. Li, how did you know?"

Li Wenxuan didn't say any more, seeing that Li Wenxuan didn't ask any more questions, naturally he didn't want to stay in front of Qingshuangjian, so he sent another pot of tea, took the things and left on his own.

Li Wenxuan looked at the pot of tea that was delivered, and couldn't help but think of what happened last night, so he poured a cup of tea very carefully, dipped it with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and tasted it, but he didn't notice anything unusual .

Then Li Wenxuan looked at the top of the bed, the roof, and even checked the front, back, left, and right sides of the inn, but he was still worried. He vaguely felt that this time it was replaced by a white-clothed scholar, and he would definitely come up with other weird things at night. To find a way to rectify yourself, you have to be extremely careful.

Li Wenxuan made up his mind to go out and stay awake tonight, so he will sit on the sidelines and wait until he finds out who that person is.

Li Wenxuan lay flat on the bed at night. Seeing that he had been waiting for nearly two hours, but there was still no movement, he got thirsty, so he got up and drank two cups of tea, and then lay down again.

The time waiting for people is most boring, and Li Wenxuan didn't want to be idle, so he practiced according to the marrow washing scriptures, laying down and doing exercises, and practicing like this, when Li Wenxuan used the marrow washing scriptures to detoxify in the past, he used this The method of breathing, and even if you don't sleep all night, with this breathing and breath adjustment, you won't be too tired the next day.

Li Wenxuan just lay there quietly, looking from the side, it was no different from falling asleep.

About half an hour later, a burst of very light footsteps sounded in the inn.

Because it was already late at night, and everyone in the inn was soundly asleep, the footsteps might not be noticeable to others, but to Li Wenxuan at this moment, he could hear them clearly.

Li Wenxuan felt ecstasy in his heart, and said in his heart: "Come, you can count it! It doesn't matter whether you are a human or a ghost, I will ask you to show your prototype today."

While Li Wenxuan was overjoyed, he remained calm, for fear that the other party was an extremely powerful person, and if he saw that he was pretending to be asleep, it would be very bad if all previous efforts were wasted.

Sure enough, the footsteps were directed at Li Wenxuan, and as he walked closer and closer, he slowly arrived at Li Wenxuan's door, and heard a few slight "creaks" and the door latch had been pushed open by the man with something. up.

Opening the door, entering the room, and closing the door again, everything was very light, Li Wenxuan also sighed to himself: "If I didn't pretend to be asleep on purpose, and entered my room as lightly as he did, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be aware of it." .”

Li Wenxuan's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help squinting one eye, sneaking a sneak peek at what the man was going to do, first because of curiosity, but because he was afraid that he would suddenly attack him.

Late at night, whether there is a moon tonight or not, the room is very dark, Li Wenxuan only saw a white shadow, which is the white-clothed scholar mentioned by Xiaoer, but when it comes to his face, he really can't see clearly.

I saw the white-clothed scholar looking around the room, then gently opened the teapot, and saw that Li Wenxuan had drunk most of the tea in it, he suddenly felt very relaxed, heaved a long sigh of relief, and relaxed again. Shoulders and ankles twisted, it must be very exhausting to walk lightly like this, but it was also strange, as if he was not afraid of waking Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan was wondering, when he saw the white-clothed scholar walking towards him, Li Wenxuan panicked, and immediately closed his eyes, not daring to peek any more.

Li Wenxuan's ears were pricked up, he only heard that the person came to the edge of the bed, paused for a moment, and then felt that there was an extra person sitting on the bed, naturally it was the white-clothed scholar.

If Li Wenxuan made a sudden attack at this time, the white-clothed scholar would definitely not run away, but Li Wenxuan was very curious about what kind of trick he was going to play tonight, so he held back, didn't move him for a while, and waited and watched.

The white-clothed scholar sat beside Li Wenxuan's bed for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about, which made Li Wenxuan suffer, he didn't move, his body was itchy and he didn't dare to scratch his eyes, so he could only endure it.
