C130 It Was a Blessing in Disguise
No matter what, Xiao Nanfeng couldn't suppress his emotions at this moment. He couldn't believe that this crystal clear little girl in front of him was actually deaf and mute. A person who always lamented the injustice of the heavens might as well come and take a look at this girl's current condition. Perhaps they would still feel very happy.
Xiao Nanfeng still didn't know what kind of place this was, and who had rescued him. He looked around and found that this young lady was dressed differently from the others. Apart from her bright eyes, she also wore some special jewelry on her head. It seemed that she was not a Han.
If he could not get an answer, it would seem like he really did not know anything. The lady smiled and looked at him, then turned around to continue cutting the vegetables. Xiao Nanfeng was thinking about how to distribute the vegetables when he suddenly thought of a question. When he asked her just now, she could clearly hear him because she turned around.
This way, things would be much easier to handle. This girl's hearing would most likely be a little impeded. But it was not to the extent that she would be deaf. Xiao Nanfeng tentatively called out, "Miss?" As expected, the girl turned her head around. Xiao Nanfeng heaved a sigh of relief. Everything was easy now. He sat up and cleared his throat to ask, "May I know your name?"
When Xiao Nanfeng asked this question, he wished he could slap himself in the face. There was no way he could answer this kind of question! The girl also had an apologetic look on her face. Xiao Nanfeng smiled awkwardly and continued, "How about this, I'll say something. If you think it's right, just nod. If it's not right, just shake your head, okay? "
The girl finally understood what he meant. Xiao Nanfeng asked the first question with satisfaction. "Excuse me, are you the only one here?" The girl smiled and shook her head. She pointed at herself and then at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng also smiled and asked, "Are you the person who saved me last night?" The girl shook her head. She did not do anything extra. It seemed that she did not want to reveal too much.
Or rather, she didn't know anything. Xiao Nanfeng thought for a while and continued to ask, "Is the person who saved me last night nearby?" The girl frowned, but shook her head.
Xiao Nanfeng found that whenever he asked about that person, the girl would shake her head. This way, he wouldn't know anything. Xiao Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "This place is very close to Gusu City, right?"
After a moment of hesitation, the girl shifted her gaze from Xiao Nanfeng's face to the window. The window was half open, and one could see the vegetation outside the window at a glance. However, these were tall trees, and nothing else could be seen.
Xiao Nanfeng's gaze also shifted over there. At this time, the girl poured the dishes into the pot. After a while, a plate of dishes was stir-fried. The girl's technique was very skillful, and it seemed that she often cooked at home.
When Xiao Nanfeng saw the delicious food, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He hurriedly walked out of bed. At this time, he suddenly realized that his legs could not move. He broke out in a cold sweat and lifted the blanket. His legs were still growing on his body, so he heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment. . . Another question came. What exactly was wrong with him?
When the young lady saw him lift the blanket, she was shocked and quickly went forward to cover Xiao Nanfeng with the blanket. Xiao Nanfeng grabbed the girl's wrist. He said in a stern voice: "Who is it? Who exactly is the one who stopped the acupuncture points in my legs? "
The young lady was so frightened that her face turned red and her whole body couldn't help but tremble. Seeing the innocent look on the young lady's face, Xiao Nanfeng felt a little embarrassed. He slowly let go of the young lady's hand. Only then did he realize that there was a large bruise on her wrist.
Xiao Nanfeng sighed guiltily. "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I was just worried! There are still many things waiting for me outside. I can't just lie here. "
The girl seemed to have seen through his intentions, but there was nothing she could do. She could only return to her stove, but that hand could no longer hold the shovel!
Xiao Nanfeng could not bear to see the girl grab the shovel again and again, and it struggled to break free again and again. He sighed and said, "This matter is really too important. It concerns the lives and destinies of hundreds and thousands of people. If I can't get out now, then I really can't imagine what will happen in the future. So. . . "
He did not want to continue. Because telling a girl all this was useless. This girl might not understand anything, or perhaps she was just an ordinary cook.
The girl touched the bruise on her wrist and sighed. However, she was unable to say anything. She walked to the table at the side and took out a brush and a piece of paper from the stomach of the table.
Xiao Nanfeng was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that such a simple young lady would also know how to write. When he saw the words, he was shocked again. These words were simply the handwriting of calligraphy masters.
Although Xiao Nanfeng had not read many books, he could clearly see what kind of words were good or bad. It seemed that the girl's handwriting was really good. Xiao Nanfeng had almost forgotten what was written on this piece of paper.
The girl solemnly put the paper in front of Xiao Nanfeng again. Only then did he come back to his senses and asked in surprise, "What do you mean I only need to stay here for 24 hours? Could it be that after 24 hours, everything will be resolved? "
The young lady nodded and continued to write on the paper, "Your acupoints only need 24 hours to be unlocked. There is no other way. " Xiao Nanfeng shook his head with a bitter smile. "Then why did your master do this? Since he saved me, he should not be on their side. If that's the case, then my goal should be the same as his! "
The girl stopped writing and put away the brush and paper. She pointed at the food on the table and looked at Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng touched his stomach. There was no point in getting angry with this girl. He pointed at the table of food and made an eating gesture. The girl happily walked to the table. Her footsteps were somewhat light.
She brought the food to Xiao Nanfeng one by one, but she did not prepare anything. Xiao Nanfeng handed the bowl and chopsticks to the girl and said, "Come, let's eat together. This is made by you, of course you should eat first. "
The girl placed her hands in front of her chest and hurriedly shook them. This feeling. . . It was like Xiao Nanfeng was a rich young master, and the girl was their family's maidservant who could not eat at their table.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned and put down the bowls and chopsticks. "If you don't eat, I definitely won't eat either! I won't make things difficult for you with everything else, but I definitely won't allow anyone to feel inferior in front of me. Everyone is the same. Why are some people born with a sense of superiority?"
The girl's eyes were shining, but the corners of her eyes seemed to be moist. She shook her head and walked to the door. Xiao Nanfeng looked at her back. He seemed to have seen Dugu Ming again, but this time he realized that there was a fundamental difference between their backs. Dugu Ming's back looked more graceful, but this girl looked very simple.
Perhaps it was because they had been in contact for a while, so their views had changed. Xiao Nanfeng said again, "Then I will eat first, and you can eat later, right? If this is not possible, Xiao Nanfeng said. Then I will not eat either!"
Xiao Nanfeng's words had indeed worked. After eating two bowls of rice, he left a lot of dishes in front of the girl. The girl seemed very careful. She looked at Xiao Nanfeng with her big watery eyes and showed a shy look. She slowly picked up the rice bowl and started to eat.
Xiao Nanfeng looked at her eat with satisfaction and then felt relieved. He looked at the scenery outside the window, but his heart had already flown to the Gusu City. Now it was basically certain that Dugu Kuang and Dugu Xiu were together. Apart from that, there was also a very young and terrifying expert who joined forces with them.
This kind of cooperation had basically reached a flawless level. Anyone would be a famous figure in the martial arts world, let alone joining forces. Apart from these three people, Xiao Nanfeng had a feeling that there was a very powerful force supporting them from behind. Otherwise, this wouldn't have been carried out so smoothly.
Things had become more difficult to deal with than ever. Xiao Nanfeng really wanted to go out, but what could he do now that he had gone out? He only hoped that Murong Ke had already rescued those people. If that was the case, everything would be much easier.
No matter how powerful Dugu Kuang was, he would definitely not be able to withstand the joint attack of over a hundred martial arts masters. Furthermore, no matter how powerful the forces behind him were, they would not be able to fight against the entire martial arts world!
Now, the key to all the problems was Murong Ke. Xiao Nanfeng had a complicated feeling for Murong Ke. He never hoped that Murong Ke would become his enemy one day, but reality told him that this matter would come sooner or later.
Murong Cheng opened the window and saw the entire Gusu. Such a beautiful scenery was really exciting. In the past, very few people could come to this place because this was the guest zone. Only Shen Dongyang could come to this place.
But every year, those who spent a certain amount of money in Five Phoenix Brothel would also have the opportunity to bring their family here to see the scenery. More than a hundred people were touched by the beautiful scenery, but none of them were happy at this moment. This building was really too tall. If they wanted to jump down from these windows, it would be no different from suicide.
But if they didn't go out from here, then no one knew where the exit was. Other than that inclined pillar, there was nothing else here.
Murong Cheng finally shifted his gaze back to the inclined pillar. He looked at this pillar from left to right. Sure enough, this pillar was connected to the one downstairs. Because the location was the same, and Qin Xie's angle seemed to be similar, it seemed that this thing was most likely the exit.
But where was the exit? There was no entrance to the pillar. Obviously, the entrance had yet to arrive. This was because looking up, the pillar was connected to the top. Then how could he go up? Now, it was difficult for everyone. Because they could see the stairs on every floor before, or they could see the stairs after going through a difficult journey.
But it was different this time. Because this time, they weren't really sleepy. The biggest problem was that there were no stairs. It was very easy to go up, but what if there was no stairs at all? They were currently in such an awkward situation.
Murong Ke tried to attack the pillar from different angles, but it did not seem to work. He suddenly thought of someone. Where did Shen Donghui go after he rushed into Five Phoenix Brothel?
Could it be that such a living person had disappeared into thin air just like that? No, it must not be like that. Since the Five Phoenix Brothel could only enter and not exit, Then he must be hiding somewhere in this building, or perhaps there must be another way out of this building.
This way must lead to a certain place. This place should be the exit, or the gathering place of those people. When he thought of Dugu Xiu being that kind of person, Murong Ke's heart ached. After all, he had a relationship with her elder sister Dugu Ming. Even if they were young and ignorant, they still had feelings.
Now, the Dugu family had become the most despised family in the entire martial arts world. This made people's wrists ache. Murong Ke looked at the wine jars. He seemed to be more interested in the wine. Seeing that everyone was at a loss, he walked to the jar and opened it.
The aroma of wine instantly filled the entire floor. Many people were attracted by the aroma of the wine. It seemed to be a good wine. Murong Ke did not wait for the crowd to come. He poured wine into a bowl by his hand for the whole night and drank it in a gulp. After drinking it, he laughed loudly and said: "What a good wine!"
Wu Daozi also became interested after hearing this. He asked for a bowl and said with a smile. "It is really a good wine that I have never tasted in my life! Looks like it has been more than twenty years, right?"
Those who understood wine generally knew the age of wine. Many people also impatiently walked over. For a moment, they actually forgot that they were in such a predicament. This was like a group of friends gathering together to chat and drink.
After the group finished drinking, they opened another jar. When they opened the fifth jar, the observant Murong Ke suddenly realized that the lid of this jar was different. Just now, the lid was filled with dust. Although there was also dust on the lid, it was clearly much less. Moreover, there was no dust around the lid.
This meant that the lid had been moved by someone, and in order to not reveal any traces, the lid had been deliberately covered with a layer of dust. This method was naturally very effective. Murong Ke was the only one who had discovered this among the many people here.
He excitedly filled the wine jar and looked inside, only to find that it was still wine. He put the bowl into the jar in disappointment. After drinking a bowl of wine, he felt that there was nothing different about the wine.
Perhaps it was because he thought too much. He comforted himself so much that the group of people used it again. One bowl for one bowl for one bowl. In a short while, the jar of wine was drunk.
Wu Daozi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not enough. Who stole this jar of wine to drink more? How could it be finished so quickly? I haven't drunk it yet! "
Murong Ke glanced at the wine jar and indeed saw the bottom. However, those few jars of wine just now could indeed be drunk by everyone. Why on earth was that? He thought of a possibility and hurriedly reached his hand into the jar. After taking it out, he reached his hand towards another jar. A confident smile surfaced on his face.
