Looking at his senior brother, he became increasingly puzzled: "Senior brother, what exactly do you want us to do with? You didn't bring us here to catch toads, did you?"
"If you want to play, four people can play 'Ma Diao' at the inn, right?" Ma Diao is actually the ancient form of mahjong.
However, if one person is missing, the three people can still play. This is called "Chan Diao". It is called "Chan Diao" because, according to legend, the golden toad has three legs.
Although no one has actually ever seen a three-legged toad, that's what everyone thinks these days.
In fact, in the other world where Fu Hai used to live, many merchants displayed golden toads with three legs at the front of their counters to attract wealth and good fortune.
Fu Hai only found out about this when he was in elementary school and happened to see a golden toad on display in a shopping mall. "Of course not," Fu Hai pointed to the stone house, "Actually, actually, that..."
Xia Yuelan slowly widened her eyes. Her senior brother's hesitant and embarrassed manner gradually aroused her womanly instincts.
"Senior brother, you...you didn't bring another girl to stay here, did you?" she said, somewhat jokingly. No matter how she thought about it, her senior brother wasn't that kind of person.
However, it seems that this kind of senior brother can only lead her to think in this direction.
Seeing that his junior sister had already guessed, Fu Hai simply hummed in agreement. "Senior brother, you...you..." Xia Yuelan froze there.
She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her in the bright sunshine, chilling her to the bone.
Although when she saw her senior brother's copy of "The Young Hero's Adventures in Heaven," which was already being printed, she thought it would be better to accept both Touma and Setsuna, two good girls.
but now.
They discovered that their senior brother had been secretly bringing other girls to live in their home.
She felt a strange pain in her heart, as if a piece of her heart had been inexplicably ripped out.
She must be a very beautiful and charming girl, right?
Otherwise, why would my senior brother secretly hide her in the back mountain, in this home that belongs to them, behind their backs? "She is indeed a girl!"
Fu Hai knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, or rather, since he had brought them here, his intention was not to hide it any longer. "I hope you can meet them first." Xia Yuelan lowered her head.
She, who was always so carefree, suddenly became depressed for some reason. It was as if dark clouds had suddenly obscured the bright sunshine.
This once scenic back mountain no longer held any allure or beauty in her eyes.
It made her a little unhappy.
Fu Hai opened the door of the stone house a crack: "She's inside." Qiu Ying, her face calm, went inside first.
Xia Yuelan lowered her head, her small hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her dress.
The senior brother was willing to carry these girls up the mountain on his back. How incredibly beautiful they must have been?
To be able to charm her senior brother so easily, she must be an incredibly beautiful vixen, right? Even though she hadn't met her yet, she already disliked her.
But if that woman is really beautiful enough to bewitch her senior brother, she... she can't argue with her.
The more she targets him, the angrier her senior brother will likely become. In that case, wouldn't she be the villain?
"Mingming? My senior sister and I are both quite pretty, aren't we? Why is my senior brother so captivated by that fox spirit from outside the mountain?" Lost in thought, she almost bumped into Sister Youying's back. "Is it her?" Sister Qiuying asked softly.
"Yes!" came her senior brother's voice, "It's her." Xia Yuelan finally couldn't suppress her curiosity.
She quietly stepped out from behind Sister Qiu Ying, wanting to see just how beautiful this vixen who had captivated her senior brother really was. She also decided that she would greet her properly.
At most, we can find a way to get rid of them later. She looked closely: "Senior brother, what's this?"
She looked at the strange marrow lying on the stone bed used for resting inside the room.
Even more strangely, within this pure white, delicate body, starlight was gathered. The starlight, formed from countless tiny specks, pulsated within her chest cavity like a heartbeat.
I was just imagining a stunningly beautiful woman with flawless skin and delicate features inside. But what I saw was a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
“She is Ye Liuxiang,” Fu Hai explained. “Don’t let her appearance fool you, she is actually…”
"Wait, wait!" Xia Yuelan raised her hand, gesturing to her senior brother to let her catch her breath before speaking, and then took deep breaths.
"I...I'll go out for a bit." She turned and ran out of the stone house. Fu Hai and Qiu Ying exchanged a glance and followed her out.
Xia Yuelan gazed at the scenery outside the mountains, her chest heaving.
After a while, she reached into her clothes and pulled out a porcelain bowl.
"Senior brother, what did you bring into the mountains?" Xia Yuelan shouted, smashing a bowl.
The bowl smashed on the ground with a clang. Shattered!
Luckily I brought a bowl with me, otherwise I would have had to run back to find another bowl to smash.
Fu Hai couldn't hold back any longer and started hitting his junior sister on the head with a flick of his wrist: "You even brought a bowl to smash? You even brought a bowl to smash? You eat the food from the mountains, use the food from the mountains, and I never see you doing anything. You're just idle and lazy, and you still have to smash a bowl for no reason?"
"You smashed all the bowls in the house! You even smashed bowls! Your junior sister was screaming in pain from the smashing."
"Senior brother, you can't blame me for this. Look at the strange things you brought back from outside the mountain!"
Xia Yuelan covered her head and ran away: "I thought you brought back a fox spirit, but it turns out you brought back a White Bone Demon."
"What the hell is this thing? Senior brother, you didn't bring back anything good, and you didn't bring back anything bad, but you brought back something that's neither human nor ghost... Wait, wait a minute."
The girl finally remembered something and grabbed her senior brother's hand that was about to smash her head: "White Bone Demoness?"
"Senior brother, did you bring back the White Bone Demoness that everyone's been searching for all over the mountains? I'm telling you, senior brother, you've gotten yourself into big trouble. You should turn yourself in right away."
"No, no! You can't just turn yourself in... No, you should quickly go and turn yourself in to Miss Butterfly; she's easier to talk to. ... Oh no, this is a serious matter; even she might arrest you..."
The thought of her senior brother committing such a serious crime immediately threw her into a panic.
Chapter 45 is actually kind of cute?
"Did you really not hear what I just said?"
Fu Hai said irritably, "Didn't I already say? She's Ye Liuxiang?" "Ye Liuxiang?" Xia Yuelan was still a little disappointed. "What's that?"
Suddenly it dawned on him: "Ah, Ye Liuxiang? That chivalrous thief Ye Liuxiang? Wasn't she supposed to be an old woman who had lived for decades?"
After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "That's right. After living for decades, you die and turn into bones." Fu Hai thought what she said made sense... Bullshit!
"She is the chivalrous thief Ye Liuxiang, who comes out to right wrongs for three years every ten years or so."
Fu Hai said, "She killed the young leader of the Fei Hong Gang. But this case of the Ganhu serial killer has nothing to do with her; she was framed by the Fei Hong Gang."
"The Fei Hong Gang wanted to avenge their young leader, so they framed her. Now it seems that the real culprit behind the Ganhu serial murders may actually be related to the Fei Hong Gang."
He gave a brief explanation.
Xia Yuelan finally understood: "Senior brother, you knew she was framed, so you secretly rescued her and brought her up the mountain?"
“I didn’t want you to worry at first, so I didn’t tell you,” Fu Hai said. “But Lingyue found out first, and Ye Liuxiang might be hiding in the mountains for a while, so I thought it would be better to let you know.”
Xia Yuelan opened her mouth: "Oh, suddenly I feel that it's not so bad."
It's better than my senior brother actually bringing back a beautiful and alluring vixen who bewitches him, isn't it?
"Let me see, let me see again!" Xia Yuelan slipped back into the stone house. "Don't open the door too wide, she can't be in the sun during the day," Fu Hai reminded her. The three of them re-entered the stone house.
Xia Yuelan stared at the "Hundred Bones Heroine" figure on the stone table, which seemed to glow with phosphorescence, for a while. "Is she a monster? How can she live when she's just bones?" Fu Hai shook his head. "I don't know! I haven't been able to say more than a few words to her yet."
Xia Yuelan looked up: "Sister Qiu Ying, aren't you scared when you saw her?" Qiu Ying replied calmly: "I'm alright."
Xia Yuelan asked, "Do you think it was a good thing for Senior Brother to bring her up the mountain?" Qiu Ying remained calm and replied, "It's alright, I guess."
"Sister Qiu Ying, you're really calm," Xia Yuelan exclaimed. "Seeing her like this gives me the creeps. Even if you, Senior Brother, call her a heroine, who wouldn't mistake her for a demon or monster at first glance?"
Fu Hai looked down at the young heroine, lost in thought: "After looking at her for a while, she's actually quite cute."
Qiu Ying and Xia Yuelan looked down at the young heroine. Then they both turned their heads and looked at a certain young man.
Fu Hai continued, "She may know the real culprit behind the Ganhu serial murder case."
"If the real culprit isn't caught, no one will be safe during the Lantern Festival. Besides, it seems the Six Doors are starting to suspect they've been manipulated."
They might not search for her like this anymore.
Qiu Ying said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."
Xia Yuelan looked up: "Why not? If the Six Doors know they've got the wrong person, they definitely won't come to arrest her again, right?"
Qiu Ying shook his head: "Not to mention, this Night Fragrance Heroine looks like a demon or monster. 'Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts,' who would dare believe she is truly a good person?"
"Even if she is truly a good person, the Six Doors and many heroes in the city have already taken action and almost killed her. The feud has already been formed, who can guarantee that she won't seek revenge after she recovers?"
“Just based on this point, it will be difficult for the Six Doors and the heroes of this county who intervened that night to let her go.” Xia Yuelan said, “This, this doesn’t make sense. She’s not a bad person.”
"The Six Doors and Sister Butterfly were also trying to protect Anjun; everyone was a good person." She felt that what Sister Qiu Ying said was true, but she found it hard to accept that "good people were killing good people."
"Regarding this, I don't think we need to worry too much!" Fu Hai said. "Since Die'er... cough, Miss Die and the Six Doors and the heroes in the city know that the White Bone Demoness is very likely not the real culprit in the serial mummified corpse case."
"Then their top priority is to find the real culprit. We can't help Miss Butterfly and the Six Doors right now, so we might as well heal Miss Ye Liuxiang first."
"At that time, the two sides may well be able to cooperate."
Xia Yuelan looked up: "Senior brother, did you just call Sister Butterfly 'Butterfly'?"
"What are you thinking about?" Fu Hai said expressionlessly. "I'm talking to you about serious matters. What nonsense are you thinking about? And what about Die'er... Would Miss Die let me call her that? She's older than me, okay?"
Xia Yuelan turned to Qiu Ying: "Sister Qiu Ying, you heard it too, right? Senior Brother seemed to be talking about 'Butterfly'."
Sister Qiu Ying remained calm: "Anything called 'Die'er' is either what the master calls a maid, or what the parents call a child. Would Miss Die call our master 'father'?"
Fu Hai:
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuelan found it quite unbelievable.
It seems I really did mishear! ***
Xia Yuelan was kind-hearted after all.
Knowing that this Night Fragrance Heroine was clearly a righteous and chivalrous person, she was wrongly accused and injured.
Feeling compassion, he stayed to take care of her, even bringing a satin blanket from his own pavilion to cover her. Fu Haixian and Qiu Ying then walked together towards the front of the mountain.
"Sister Qiu Ying," Fu Hai asked, "her wounds seem to have healed completely, yet she still hasn't woken up. What do you think could be the reason?"
Sister Youying glanced at him: "Why are you asking me?"
Fu Hai said, "I think you know more than we do, Sister Qiu Ying."
"I'm not a martial artist with any rank, so how would I know so much?" Qiu Ying said calmly. "But I think that ordinary people cultivate by refining essence into qi."
"She is no ordinary person; she has no vital energy of her own and can only absorb the essence of heaven and earth."
