After locking the gate of the mountain hall, Xiao Xingyu carried the little aunt on his back, and Zhang Moyan walked down the mountain with a flashlight.
In the quiet and vast night, green peaks are clustered together, and the starry sky rises. The ancient mountain hall is like these rolling mountains like waves, standing still under the unchanging universe, waiting for the day that bestows glory.
"Xingyu, thank you for coming to save me." The little aunt lay on the back of Xiao Xingyu's neck and said softly.
Xiao Man'er had never been so well-behaved before. He suspected someone was influencing him. He glanced at the person, and their eyes met. He raised his head and said nonchalantly, "If it weren't for my damned temper, I wouldn't care about you."
The little aunt didn't understand what moral integrity was, but she felt that Xiao Xingyu's tone was reluctant, and she was afraid of angering him again, so she leaned on his shoulder and stopped talking.
Zhang Moyan walked beside him for about ten steps and suddenly said, "Thank you for your integrity."
The voice was neither high nor low, but it scratched people's hearts like a cat's paw.
The atmosphere became a little subtle. The little aunt straightened her neck with a precocious gossipy expression on her face.
Zhang Moyan coughed lightly, shone the flashlight on the steps below, and changed the subject: "Teacher Xiao, how did you know we were here?"
"You told me yourself." Xiao Xingyu said it so easily.
Zhang Moyan was stunned: "I told you myself?"
"Yes," Xiao Xingyu glanced at the bewildered woman, "Did you tell me that you and Man'er watched a horror movie called 'Forbidden Land'?"
Zhang Moyan nodded: "Yes."
"I asked you where you were, and you said you couldn't tell me where this place was?"
"oh……"
"You even let it slip yourself that you said 'xia' instead of 'return home'."
“…” So he noticed it, what a keen observer…
"And the most important thing."
"What?" Zhang Moyan stopped, and Xiao Xingyu also stopped.
"You're panting," he said.
Zhang Moyan's ears felt like thunder had exploded, pricking her like a wooden stake. Xiao Xingyu leaned in closer to her, lowering his voice in a venomous tone, "I didn't say what kind of wheezing you had, why are you so nervous?"
Zhang Moyan's face flushed red, but the man moved even closer.
"Although, almost!"
Zhang Moyan was about to faint. She really didn't have the ability to remain calm like him.
The man in the darkness laughed, pulled away, and walked down calmly and leisurely: "Let me ask you, if we haven't been climbing the mountain all the time, why are you so out of breath?"
Zhang Moyan's expression (??;)
If I don't catch up with him, I will lose sight of the road ahead. I have no choice but to pretend he never said anything and catch up with him.
"Teacher Xiao, I found that the names of your family members all seem to contain water! Mumu, Sasa, Maner, Guotao, Weijiang, and the names of the ancestors on the monuments just now, is there any meaning behind them?" He tried hard to find a serious topic.
"This is a long story. To put it simply, water can conquer fire, and our Xiao family has heavenly fire to conquer." The road was a bit steep, so Xiao Xingyu slowed down his pace.
Zhang Moyan was puzzled. Skyfire? So mysterious?
"What is heavenly fire?" To light the way for him.
“It’s the competition.”
"Oh," he said, not quite understanding. "Who is your family's competitor? ...Can you tell me?"
Xiao Xingyu looked up and gave her a look of disappointment: "You should have guessed this. Isn't that the only family that can compete with the Xiao family in terms of azure porcelain?"
Zhang Moyan looked ignorant.
Xiao Xingyu hissed curiously, "Didn't you get to know me thoroughly for this interview? It seems your understanding isn't very complete! No wonder you can't get me."
Zhang Moyan blushed: "Teacher Xiao, please don't say that. I will understand it later."
"Oh," Xiao Xingyu, "I'll wait and see."
Zhang Moyan continued the conversation, "The name of the first ancestor on that stele was a bit ambiguous. So... you and this family have been enemies for a long time?"
Xiao Xingyu kicked a small stone in front of Zhang Moyan and replied casually, "About nine hundred years!"
Zhang Moyan was choked with shock. "Over nine hundred years! Oh my god... where is your rival?"
"It's the Geng family from Hangzhou. Oh, right," Xiao Xingyu paused, "Haven't you met Director Geng of Huarui Hospital? He's from the Geng family!"
The Xiao family’s arch-enemy...is Dean Geng’s family?
Zhang Moyan felt that there might be some parts in her brain that were broken, otherwise why couldn't she figure out some things?
"But aren't Dean Geng and you good friends?"
"yes."
"But you just said... your two families have been enemies for over nine hundred years."
"yes."
"Then you..." Zhang Moyan asked puzzledly, "Then why are you still friends with Dean Geng?"
Now she understood why Ms. Meng said that Xiao Xingyu was going to be put into a pig cage when she saw him going to find Geng Jun.
"Are you stupid?" Xiao Xingyu asked as a matter of course, "It's so hard to see a doctor these days. Knowing a doctor is really important!"
He spoke in such a serious and sophisticated manner that Zhang Moyan was petrified.
"You all have the character 'water' in your names. Could it be because the Geng family's surname has the character 'fire' in it?"
"Smart, that's why."
Zhang Moyan felt like she was not only petrified, but also about to break apart: "Is this true?! How could this be…"
Xiao Xingyu turned his head and said with understanding, "So childish, right?"
Zhang Moyan didn't say anything, and if she didn't say anything, her words wouldn't count.
