wrong song

Chapter 26 Camellia

It was the first time Zhong Wan was described like this, and his mind went blank for a moment. He was always eloquent, but now he didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Shen Shen was about to touch his forehead again, he slapped Qian Yuan's hand aside as if awakened from a dream, and said in a low voice, "...I want you to do something right."

Shen Chen seemed to have practiced kung fu for more than 20 years in vain. He didn't hide, and he didn't dodge. Just so unsuspectingly, he hit the palm of his hand, and there was a "snap", which was so crisp and loud that it was a little scary.

Tang Xunwen looked back at them this time and looked at them suspiciously. He saw that the two people were close to each other, but their faces were far away from each other. It was a bit inexplicable, but Zhong Wan turned his head at the last moment when he turned his head. , abruptly opened the distance between him and Shen Shen.

Fortunately, Chen Jinxin's house is close at hand, and no one cares about such small episodes.Only Zhong Wan was thinking about it, and he was inexplicably concerned.

When he hit Shen Chen's palm just now, he fully thought that the man would avoid him, so he exerted a lot of strength.For a Qianyuan like Shen Chen, this shot was lighter than flirting, but Zhong Wan remembered that when he was a child, he was naughty and would be caught by Wan Fangyuan and beat his palm at every turn. I felt ashamed, and it wasn't until I was beaten up and became a habitual offender that I gradually felt better.

He is very considerate and considerate of himself and others. He feels that such a good boy like Shen Chen should not have been slapped much when he was a child, but he doesn't know what to think about being picked up by his cheap master today.

Chen Jinxin took them one by one to the inner room and sat down.In the room, Shen Chen and Tang Xunwen were quite prestigious in the martial arts, he didn't dare to take the main seat, he just sat beside the crowd, his hands on his knees wringing tightly.

Tang Xunwen took a look at Shen Chen, seeing that he was still as cold as usual, and had no intention of being a good person, so he had no choice but to turn his head and say to Chen Jinxin gently: "Master Chen, you see that even the owner of Shen Shen is here now, and this matter will definitely be resolved." It’s a turn of events. Right now, two of the four famous schools of martial arts are here, why don’t you tell me what happened, so we can think of a way.”

What he said was sincere, and if Shen Shen didn't know this great Kunlun disciple very well, he might have thought that he was a bodhisattva out of all the weirdos in Kunlun.

Hearing Chen Jinxin's warm comforting and soft guiding voice, and sitting beside him as motionless as a mountain, most of the breath he held in his chest has disappeared, leaving only endless sorrow and anger.He couldn't help wiping away his tears, his voice trembling: "Heroes, gods, gods, don't believe what I'm about to say next. This villain has experienced everything personally. It's half false, I..."

It was the first time for Shen Yuan to see a middle-aged man crying so aggrieved, and he couldn't bear it, so he took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him.Seeing the sympathy in his eyes, Chen Jinxin cried even more fiercely. Regardless of his manners, he took the handkerchief and wiped it on his face indiscriminately: "Thank you, young hero. Alas, you want to teach me to practice this for the common people." People with evil skills are also about the same size as you, how could there be such a difference."

He choked up, and just spoke intermittently and stammeringly.Fortunately, everyone present here is smart and transparent, adding to what he said, and pieced together a complete bizarre mystery.

***

What Chen Jinxin's parents regret most is that he cannot be named "Qian" or "Jin".The two of them heard from an old Taoist priest somewhere that they had to give their son a jewel-like name, and not use the cheap names of "dog" and "cao'er" in order to make a lot of money in the future.

This poor and lowly couple, who were afraid of poverty, naturally followed suit, so Chen Jinxin, a grass-roots man, had such a name full of "gold".

When Chen Jinxin grew up, he was really competitive, and he transformed himself into a well-known silk merchant in Yangzhou.His parents died early before seeing their son's beauty, leaving him with no place to be filial, so they built a Futian courtyard in Yangzhou and took good care of it.Within a year, his reputation for compassion and love for the people spread.

However, Chen Jinxin feels that all this is not enough.When he was a child, his mother told him that it would be best for him to be able to absorb the nobility of his name and divide it into Qianyuan, so that he can get promoted and make a fortune in this place full of mediocrity, and become a blockbuster.

But Qianyuan is rare, how can it be so good.More than ten years later, Chen Jinxin is still a moderate everywhere.This wish failed, so he wanted to fulfill another last wish of his mother - to be an official.

Looking at the scenery, the businessman is actually a lowly, treacherous, and dishonest person in the eyes of nobles. Hundreds of years ago, he couldn't even wear silk clothes on the street.Although Chen Jinxin lived in a mansion, embraced a good wife, and even tasted the ecstasy of Kunze when he was young, what he wanted most was to be an official.

Perhaps because of his diligence and dedication, in August this year, the official fortune finally fell on him.

"That kid is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looks very honest." Chen Jinxin said, "His parents are well-known doctors, and they all died in the epidemic this time. I feel sorry for him, I just helped. Two days later, he came to me with a book, saying that he found it from his parents’ belongings, and that it might be able to cure the sequelae of the epidemic. A high official can do it."

"At first, I thought, how could there be such a good thing. But a brave patient tried it without telling me. For an official position, I just... taught the exercises in that book."

Tang Xunwen frowned: "Can you show us that book?"

"...It's gone." Chen Jinxin shook his head annoyedly, "It's gone, it was snatched away by someone. Not only did that person snatch the book, but he also told me that the books contained evil skills that ordinary people can't practice. If people with weaker health practice, they will not live for a few days. I didn't believe it at first, but after two days, those old people... died. The boy who gave me the book also ran away."

"I stood in those old people's mourning halls, and I didn't dare to say a word, but I always felt that others were looking at me. Someone knew that this famous and good man, Chen Jinxin, was the culprit of the murder. A few days later, Yangzhou died again for no reason. A child, followed by a woman who just gave birth. Since then, I have been anxious every day. When I heard the sound of footsteps, I was so frightened that I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t dare to close my eyes at night. ..."

Tang Xunwen said: "So you are sick."

"... I was seriously ill." Chen Jinxin buried his face in his hands, "I was so sick that I almost passed out and almost died on the sick bed... How did I not die on the sick bed? The book thief came again yesterday She said that I caused a catastrophe for my own selfish desires and caused chaos in the martial arts world. Sooner or later, more people will die on it. She told me that I might as well apologise, and it's over..."

Zhong Wan gradually got a clue, thinking: "Zhen Gen was originally kept by Kunlun, no matter what, it shouldn't be in the relics of the two little doctors. I think there must be something wrong with that boy. Not only that, the book thief I also knew very well about Zhen Genben, and it must be another force coveting the "Eight Turns of Life and Death Sutra". The two fought, but unintentionally involved Chen Jinxin and the people of Yangzhou, what a crime."

Even so, he couldn't distinguish whether the two parties were enemies or friends for the time being. He turned his head to look at Tang Xunwen and Shen Chen, all of them frowned and looked solemn. Only Shen Yuan sat next to Chen Jinxin and hurriedly spoke words of comfort, as if I was afraid that he would think of committing suicide again.

Shen Shen asked: "What kind of person is the book thief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside the window, and the lightning flashed brightly, reflecting Chen Jinxin's face pale and terrifying.The torrential rain fell without warning, and the sky and the earth instantly became blurred.

Chen Jinxin shook violently, as if he was afraid that the lightning would strike him.After trembling for a while, seeing that the thunder didn't mean to come back again, I said cautiously: "Then...that's a woman, very petite, with a pair of cat-like eyes...she covered her eyes with a veil, I Out of sight."

He can say less and less, and the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.Chen Jinxin looked at the continuous rain curtain: "I don't know when the rain will stop, why don't you guys rest in the humble house today."

The rain at the turn of autumn and winter is full of cold, like melted ice water.Zhong Wan breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that the cold poison was about to move on his right shoulder again, so he hurriedly gave Shen Chen a hand, and went back to the room first to warm up.

Shen Chen took off his cloak and handed it to him, and he was not polite, and wrapped himself in it together with the heat from Qian Yuan's body.Qian Yuan was half a head taller than him, and the cloak was a bit long for him, and it was so dangling that it was almost dragged to the ground, so Villa Master Shen followed behind him, condescendingly helping him carry it.

The two walked along the corridor for a while without a word. Outside the corridor, the camellias were blooming just in time. The rainwater fell from the petals, dripping down at their feet with fragrance, and it seemed not so cold.

Zhong Wan suddenly remembered the matter of hitting his palm just now, and asked in deliberation, "Why didn't you hide when I hit you just now?"

Behind him, Shen Chen seemed to smile, and said, "I was busy doing business, so I didn't have time to hide."

Knowing that he was making fun of his own words, Zhong Wan snorted half-smiled, but heard Shen Chen say again with a laugh: "If you're doing your business well, you shouldn't hide from me."

Zhong Wan couldn't help but talk back: "Who is not doing business?"

His original intention was to ask Shen Shen to reflect on it, but who knows that the man is no longer what he used to be, his face is not flushed, his heart is not beating, and his voice is calm and confident, saying: "I didn't do anything serious."

Zhong Wan's face burned inexplicably, and suddenly felt that neither this nor that was true, so she pulled hard, pulled the cloak out of the hand of the person behind her, held it in her hand, and walked away angrily.
