Xianyu asked

Chapter 25
There is no calendar day in the mountains, and the year is unknown when the cold is gone.

Before you know it, it's the end of the year.Lijia Village has been very lively in recent days. Couplets have been posted in front of every house, and red lanterns are hung high to celebrate the New Year with joy.

Today is the last day of classes in the village school, and the teacher will go home after the last class, and the next class will be after the spring of next year.

Huaying ran out of the school, grabbed a boy in a thick cotton coat, and asked, "Li Si, did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

"I forgot"

The boy named Li Si had a runny nose and a not-so-intelligent look on his face as he faltered and replied.

Hua Ying immediately curled her lips when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly, "Do you still want the bamboo horse? Today is the last time I go down the mountain, how about this, you get your things ready, and I'll wait for you at the entrance of the village after dinner later , don’t forget to come when the time comes.”

"Yes! I want it! I'll definitely bring it to you tonight, and we'll see you at the entrance of the village!" After saying that, Li Si ran home, hurriedly getting ready.

After he left, Huaying didn't stay here either, but rushed towards the entrance of the village.

Along the way, she couldn't help feeling envious when she saw the noisy scene of every household in the village decorated with lanterns and festoons.

At this time in previous years, Huaying would play with her friends from the same village. This year is different. There are only her and her senior sister on the mountain. The master has not come back yet, so it is deserted.

Thinking that this year should be more lively, she planned to make some firecrackers to celebrate, but without saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, firecrackers could not be made, so she had to go to Li Si to replace some.

Li Si's family sells goods, and his father often goes to the town to buy various goods and sell them in the village.

Huaying didn't have much silver in her hand, and the few taels of silver she got from the white robe Taoist robes were taken by her early to buy books.So, penniless, she had no choice but to exchange things with Li Si with some handmade small objects.

Besides Li Si, she would often exchange things from other children in the village.Such as snacks, vegetable seeds and the like.

There is nothing wrong with changing it to something else, these little hairy kids in the village can't get any unusual items.

There were a lot of things missing on the mountain, and Qin Xiangzhi still had some spare money left by her master, which was used to buy rice and oil, and bought some winter clothes for Huaying.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, it is really unreasonable not to be able to buy some New Year's goods.

In fact, Huaying has been thinking about how to get some money recently, so she can't just wait for Master to come back.

At first, she thought of a way.

Sell ​​vegetables, take the surplus vegetables grown in your own vegetable garden to the market and sell them, but how much are the vegetables worth?She went to the market once and only sold a few copper coins, but she just gave up.

Later, Huaying heard that medicinal materials were valuable, so she thought about growing some medicinal materials and selling them.However, the seeds of medicinal materials are hard to find, and they are not available in the village or nearby markets. She inquired about it and found out that only the medicinal materials shop in the town sells seeds.

The seeds were temporarily unavailable, so she shifted her mind to the mountains again.

There are many wild medicinal herbs in the mountains, Huaying thought that maybe she could try to transplant and cultivate them.However, this matter must wait until after the beginning of spring. Now that the mountains are covered with heavy snow, wild herbs are extremely difficult to find. At least she will have to wait until the snow melts before she can officially start her plan.

After leaving Li's Village, Huaying went all the way back to the mountain, but nothing happened.

In the past two months, there has been no movement at the Flying Fox Sect, and I don't know if they are planning something. Anyway, the two teachers and sisters are safe and sound, and everything is fine. There is nothing to be unhappy about.

Pushing open the door of the small courtyard, walked to the front of the corridor, unloaded the schoolbag made of cloth, followed the sound to the door of the senior sister's room, and gently buckled it.

"Sister, are you in there?"

The weather has been very cold this month. Although the two have been eating and living together to keep warm, Huaying is still cautious before entering Qin Xiangzhi's room. If you rush in rashly, you might run into something you shouldn't see.

"Junior sister, come in quickly."

Soon Qin Xiangzhi's shout came from the room, Huaying pushed the door open and entered, closed the door behind her back, and walked in slowly.

Inside the house, Qin Xiangzhi was wearing only a single shirt, sitting cross-legged on the bed, as if she was practicing meditation.

Unlike Huaying, a young junior who has just started, Qin Xiangzhi has been practicing internal exercises in addition to practicing external exercises every day. Although she doesn't know what level she has reached, she only learns from the inside when she practices. Judging from the astonishing aura that emanates from the outside, it seems that he has already accomplished something.

Huaying was very envious of this, but following Master's instructions, she did not practice the exercise called "Qingpili".

No, that exercise should actually be called "Qingbo Gong".

Huaying has learned a lot of new characters since secretly listening to classes at the Lijia Village School at the foot of the mountain. Now, except for some relatively uncommon words, she has learned most of the commonly used characters, and she has already left the scope of illiteracy.

Now, only waiting for the master to teach her new exercises, she can officially start to practice inner strength.

"Junior Sister, what's new at the foot of the mountain today." Qin Xiangzhi got up and got out of bed, and asked while putting on her clothes.

Huaying shook her head first, and then said: "Mr. has gone home for the New Year, and I don't have to go down the mountain to study for a while."

"That's fine. I've been staying on the mountain recently. Every time you go down the mountain, I don't feel at ease." Qin Xiangzhi nodded, and pulled Huaying to sit by the bed. I will take action later, and you will stay by my side and never leave."

"Sister."

When mentioning the Flying Fox Gate, Huaying felt a little uneasy. If the two of them did not show up, they would not be able to live in peace. It was like a big stone was hanging in her heart, unable to land for a long time.

I really don't know when it will be killed suddenly, so I was caught off guard.

Seeing her worry, Qin Xiangzhi touched Huaying's head, and softly comforted her: "Don't think too much, if they dare to come again, Senior Sister will definitely protect you."

"En!" Huaying nodded heavily.

In the afternoon, after dinner, the two of them stayed in the room to rest all afternoon.Now it's cold and I can't go anywhere, I'm very bored, after chatting a little, I fell asleep until evening.

Huaying woke up and saw that the senior sister beside her was still sleeping, she didn't disturb her, she got up carefully, put on her shoes and walked out of the room.

There was light snow outside, the cold wind was blowing, and the path in the forest was completely white.

Huaying wrapped herself in the cotton-padded coat, breathing hot air from her mouth, and walked down the mountain along the snow-covered path.

Although the senior sister asked her not to go down the mountain again, she remembered that she had an agreement with Li Si, thinking that nothing would happen if she only went for a short while, so she hurried to Lijia Village.

When the firecrackers are ready, I will give my senior sister a surprise.

The snow-covered road in the mountains is slippery, and it is not easy to walk. Huaying had just walked down the mountain in the dark, and was about to speed up her pace a little, when she suddenly noticed something unusual at the foot of the mountain.

It was snowing heavily under the mountain, and it was still snowing at this time, with snowflakes flying all over the sky.

The road in the forest has long been covered with snow. However, the path that should have been white and beautiful is now dyed bright red.

I saw dozens of hundreds of corpses dressed in black and green clothes scattered everywhere, some with different heads, some with severed limbs, and bright red blood stains all over the road like spots. The white snow was mixed together to form a thick slush, and the whole road was like mud.

White, mixed with blood, and the black corpse dotted on it like ink dots, formed a strange picture.

However, among the many corpses, there was a woman in a blue shirt, holding a blood-stained silver sword, standing with her back facing the mountain road.

The cold wind can't move, and the white snow is stained with blue silk.

The woman lightly waved the long sword in her hand, and the blood on the blade splashed a red line on the snow like raindrops, leaving no trace, as if it had never been stained with anything.

Withdrawing the scabbard, the green-clothed woman turned around, passed the mountain of bloody corpses around her without seeing anything, moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked straight forward.

The vermilion lips parted lightly, and the voice was as light as water.

"Master Master"

Huaying didn't seem to have recovered from the terrifying scene in the distance, her young face was full of shock, and she didn't stumble and make a sound until the woman in the green shirt approached.

That night, her young heart was greatly shocked, and an idea sprouted in her heart.

My master and senior sister are actually big murderers?
