Mountains have trees and trees have branches

Chapter 28
Mu Xiliang had been busy all day, and didn't come back until the lights were about to turn off at night.

Qing Huan went to his room to see him, he seemed very busy, his white shirt was casually tucked into his military trousers, his sleeves were rolled up indiscriminately, and he was flipping through the documents on the table.

Qing Huan knocked on the door and walked in.

"I came back so late, have you eaten yet?"

From the outside, Mu Xiliang looked normal, not as if he was injured.

Qing Huan suddenly remembered his swollen wound yesterday.

Qing Huan raised her hand to caress his shoulder and said worriedly, "Is your injury healed? If you work so hard, what if the wound recurs?"

Mu Xiliang looked back at her, and said indifferently, "I was just pressed by a piece of wood, and I'm not you, so it's not a wound."

After a pause, he suddenly turned his head to look at her, and said with a smirk, "Why, guilt?"

He was teasing her, but Qing Huan's brows were frowned, and she really looked guilty.

Mu Xiliang was startled, put down the document in his hand and looked at her seriously, "Qing Huan, is there something on your mind?"

In the past, even if she was really guilty, she would be stubborn and never give in.

Qing Huan shook her head and whispered, "I was the one who hurt you, if it wasn't for me..."

She insisted on ingeniously testing his abilities, otherwise, Mu Xiliang wouldn't get hurt trying to protect her.

"Fu Qinghuan, you are enough, don't do this with me!"

Mu Xiliang was a little displeased, and gave her a hard look.

Apologizing for this made it seem like he and she were very different.

"Even if you're not my sister, I'm an old man, can I watch you get hurt? Besides, you were hit by a piece of wood, what's the matter? If the piece of wood hits you..."

He thought for a while, then immediately shook his head and said, "No, I'm in good health, just smash it!"

He patted his chest with a proud face, Qing Huan couldn't help being amused by him.

Thinking of Liangsheng, Qing Huan asked, "Brother Xiliang, I want to ask you a question. The other day you went to sweep up the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain. Are all the bandits dead?"

Mu Xiliang frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

Qing Huan panicked and covered up, "That's right, I heard that there were bandits in Qingfeng Mountain again, and the youngest son of the blacksmith shop in the city died in Qingfeng Mountain. I just feel strange, isn't there no bandits in Qingfeng Mountain?" ?”

Mu Xiliang's expression tightened, "Who did you listen to?"

"That's right, I heard from my classmate that the youngest son of the blacksmith shop has been missing for several days, and the body was found today. I heard that the death was terrible, and it was done by bandits."

The expression on Mu Xiliang's face was cloudy and uncertain.

He raised his head and thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Although it was annihilated that day, when the battlefield was cleaned later, one person was missing, and the second master of Qingfeng Mountain disappeared."

Qing Huan's eyes flickered slightly, "That is, he went back?"

Mu Xiliang didn't know what he was thinking and didn't speak.

After a long while, he turned around and picked up the phone on the table to give some instructions, probably to investigate the matter thoroughly.

When he finished speaking, Mu Xiliang put down the phone, and when he turned around, Qing Huan was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

He walked up to Qing Huan and met her eyes, "What are you thinking, are you afraid?"

Qing Huan raised her head to look at him, but did not speak. Mu Xiliang rubbed her head, "With me here, you can rest assured. Back then, I was able to destroy Qingfengzhai. Clean it up. So you don't need to be afraid."

After a pause, he smiled, "Don't you have confidence in me?"

Qing Huan looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed.

"Okay, you haven't answered the question I asked you just now, have you had dinner tonight?"

Mu Xiliang rubbed his stomach, "I took a couple of casual bites, and I don't even remember what I ate."

Sun Yingquan is the highest-ranking spy since the establishment of the Mu Family Army.

As soon as this incident happened, he might be in this state for the next month.

Qing Huan frowned and said, "That can't be done. What if you're starving? Brother Xiliang, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat on time, or your brain will go on strike."

Mu Xiliang nodded and glanced at her, "I'm really hungry when you say that. Why, do you want to make supper for me yourself?"

Facing Mu Xiliang's teasing eyes, Qing Huan blushed, "I, I can't do it! But I can ask Mrs. Ah Qing to cook it for you!"

Mu Xiliang looked disappointed, "You can't? My mother didn't teach you to cook?"

Qing Huan laughed a few times, "I taught it, but I didn't learn it."

She wouldn't tell him that it was the aunts in the kitchen who begged her not to go into the kitchen again, and she could put any conditions for it.

Seeing her guilty look, Mu Xiliang gave a sneaky smile, "Qing Huan, you don't know how, you were kicked out by Mrs. Ah Qing and the others?!"

"No!!"

Qing Huan retorted subconsciously, and when she saw his smirk, she knew she had been fooled.

She said bitterly, "People care about you with good intentions, but you play tricks on them! If you are hungry, I will not care about you!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. Mu Xiliang laughed loudly from behind, "Qing Huan, you must learn before you get married, or your husband will hate you!"

Qing Huan was extremely angry, turned around and gave him a hard look before leaving the door, and slammed the door behind her.

"If I come to care about him again, I will be a puppy!"

After yelling at the door, Qing Huan went back to her room angrily.

Now that the existence of the bandits has been confirmed, Qing Huan has planned for several days to go to Qingfeng Mountain.

The night before leaving, Lao Zhang couldn't help but said, "I said, do you really dare to go to Qingfeng Mountain alone? Let's not talk about the Taoist priests, they are bandits. Don't girls be afraid of you alone?"

Qing Huan raised her face and smiled at Old Zhang, "Isn't it because of you, you promised me that you would protect me."

"I promised you that I would protect you, but what if I can't do anything about the advanced methods, what should you do?"

This question stopped Qing Huan.

"Then, what to do then?"

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said seriously, "You really don't know how you summoned me?" Qing Huan shook her head with a cute expression on her face.

Lao Zhang sighed, and said, "Well, no matter what, it's better to have more strength to protect you than to fight alone. Try it now and see if you can summon others."

"Oh."

Although Qing Huan was a little embarrassed, she still followed Lao Zhang's words.

It's just that she worked hard on the spot for a long time, but she didn't even see a shadow! !

Lao Zhang pulled her over and said, "You can't do this. Come and tell me, what do you do every time you summon me?"

"That's right, every time I'm in a crisis, I feel that I might be doomed. As soon as I get scared, I think it would be great if someone came to save me, and then you show up."

"Okay," Lao Zhang nodded, came behind her and touched her shoulder, "Now, close your eyes."

"Empty your mind and imagine yourself being chased by a ghost."

Qing Huan closed her eyes and frowned slightly, she seemed to be in a situation.

"Now, call loudly in your heart for someone to protect you. The feelings must be sincere."

As Lao Zhang said, he slowly let go of Qing Huan, stepped back to the corner of the house and stared at her closely.

At first, the room was calm as usual, and nothing weird happened.

Suddenly, Qing Huan's body began to glow.

Gradually, some tiny whirlwinds began to gather around her.

The whirlwind revolved around her, and slowly, a demon with the appearance of a tengu gradually appeared in the whirlwind.
