blood contract

……

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of banquet. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Xiaodouzi persuaded Mr. Chen to take Zhizhi back to his old house.

The three of them sat around the dining table. Qi Feng and Xiaodouzi looked at Zhi Zhi, who had not spoken for a long time, and the room fell into a long silence.

Afterwards, Qi Feng told Xiaodouzi that Zhizhi wanted to accept a precept, but as expected, Xiaodouzi decisively refused.

"Sister Zhizhi, it is very dangerous for you to hold the ring now. Once you are searched, our plans for several years will be in vain."

Zhizhi lowered his eyes and said nothing.

It's not that she doesn't understand the truth, but the words Liu Rufeng said to her always linger in her ears and she can't get rid of them.

Seeing her silence, Xiaodouzi sighed, and then said: "I gave the Najie to Brother Qi just because I thought you would trust Brother Qi more."

"As for the reason why I chose Beast Claw today instead of you, I don't want to say it now."

Bang!

Zhizhi slapped the table and stood up, "Don't you want to say it or don't you want to tell me? Are you afraid that I will betray you? Am I that untrustworthy?... Just answer me!" She was emotional and vented her dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, she is not an ignorant person. Is it so difficult to tell her? She hopes Xiaodouzi can trust her.

Xiaodouzi raised his eyes and looked at Zhizhi with an extremely sincere gaze, "If we didn't trust, we wouldn't live under the same roof. Sister Zhizhi, we will definitely solve your matter. As for my matter, I am now I really don’t want to say…”

After saying this, Xiaodouzi stood up and walked slowly into her house.

Looking at Xiaodouzi's slender back, tears suddenly welled up in Zhizhi's eyes. Looking around, the place that was once full of joy has become so strange now.

Qi Feng's eyes wandered between the two of them, and he took Zhizhi's hand, "Let her say it now, it will undoubtedly rub salt on her wounds! Give her some time!"

Zhizhi withdrew her hand, pushed Qi Feng away, and staggered toward her room, muttering to herself: "Give her time? Who will give me time?"

~~

The next morning, Xiaodouzi opened the door and saw Qi Feng still sitting at the dining table, his hands covering his messy hair, and his eyes were black and blue.

One look revealed that he had been up all night, depressed and sitting there all night. After seeing Zhizhi's locked door, he walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water.

Qi Feng saw Xiaodouzi's bloodshot eyes and knew that she had also stayed up all night.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "She went out early in the morning. She didn't say where she was going..."

Xiaodouzi said "Oh", raised his head and drank the water in the glass.

"You...don't blame her. Maybe she heard something she shouldn't have heard. For a moment...hey, it's better to let her think about it quietly."

"I blame her for what she did." Xiaodouzi chuckled: "That thorn has already pierced her heart. Now she can't listen to anything she says. It's useless for us to talk more. With Sister Zhizhi's temperament, I'm afraid Let's find a way by ourselves. What we have to do now is to solve the matter before she makes it big and let her feel at ease."

Qi Feng stood up suddenly and asked, "Do you have any idea?"

Xiaodouzi nodded, sat down at the table, took out a few pieces of paper filled with words and explained, "Hit the snake and hit the seven inches. Now the seven inches is him."

Qi Feng looked at where Xiaodouzi was pointing, "Liu Rufeng?" He asked in confusion: "What does this matter have to do with him? Although he has some talents, he is nothing extraordinary."

He didn't understand why Xiaodouzi kept paying attention to this kid.

"If my guess is correct, he was the one who planned all this."

"What?" Qi Feng stood up suddenly, his eyes full of surprise, "You mean, he was the person behind the sale of the branches in advance until you were forced to choose the items last night, and then made us have a grudge against each other? "

Xiaodouzi nodded, "I thought a lot last night, and I always feel that everything is weird. Think about it, not long after Sister Zhizhi's incident in Qianxi Tower, Li Sheng asked Mr. Chen to sell Sister Zhizhi in advance. Isn't this right? His reaction speed is as fast as a melon in his head."

After thinking about it, Qi Feng felt that what Xiaodouzi said was reasonable. According to Li Sheng's style of doing things, he might not take action on this matter until the man left Shapu Town. Now, he had controlled Zhizhi in advance and had planned his follow-up moves. He was obviously well prepared.

This time, he and Xiaodouzi were caught off guard by the attacks that followed one after another, and they also developed a grudge against Zhizhi.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was not a trick that Li Sheng could think of. "When you say so, it's true."

"Li Sheng's methods of quarantining and disgusting me are just for immediate interests and cannot be put on the stage. But Liu Rufeng has a much bigger plan... I believe that in time he will be able to replace Mr. Chen."

Hearing what Xiaodouzi said, Qi Feng was furious. He couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and smashed the table in front of him with one punch. "Humph, I really underestimated this kid. This Liu Rufeng was so ambitious back then!" When we were at Shilin Pond, Li Sheng failed to harm you and hurt him, but he blamed you for it. If I had known this, I should have killed this guy then."

Looking at the broken water utensils on the ground, Xiaodouzi sighed secretly and wanted to buy new water utensils!

"That's just his certificate of surrender. But it was precisely because of that time that I saw this person clearly, and I have to thank him for showing his fox tail at that time." Xiaodouzi said quietly while turning the pen in his hand.

Her intuition told her that Liu Rufeng wanted to use this matter to get rid of her. He really looked up to me when he attacked me as a six-year-old child!

Thinking of this, a murderous intention flashed through the depths of Xiaodouzi's eyes.

"No wonder you tell me to be careful about him every time." Qi Feng rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and wiped it on his neck.

Xiaodouzi stopped spinning the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "The one who knows me is Brother Qi. How sure are you?"

"This person's cultivation level is lower than that of Li Sheng, but he is stronger than Han Yan and Wang Rongyu. He is 90%, but if Han Yan and Wang Rongyu are added, he is probably not even 10%." Qi Feng analyzed.

Xiaodouzi pursed his lips and smiled: "Han Yan, you don't have to worry, he will never appear again. As for Wang Rongyu, I will go and get rid of him."

Hearing this, Qi Feng's eyes flashed with surprise. I thought it had been a while since I saw Han Yan. Looking at Xiaodouzi's indifference, he understood.

"Good job." He raised his thumb and immediately asked, "Where can we do it?"

Xiaodouzi said leisurely: "I heard that when Liu Rufeng's parents were alive, he was very obedient to his mother and liked to be influenced by his father. So he made money by telling storytelling and dramas on weekdays. In his free time, he and Wang Rongyu went to Cui Tea House to listen to a song every night. Then I went to the Lilac Lane Red Wine Kiln to report to Li Sheng about the day's affairs, and then returned to his hut. So... this is where we started!" After saying this, he inserted the pen in his hand into the paper on the ground.

"West City Hill Cemetery. Why is it here?"

"Because his parents are buried here."

Qi Feng was startled, then smiled and said: "You are so considerate, this is to reunite the family!"

Xiaodouzi raised his little face and blinked his big watery eyes, "He makes me feel uncomfortable, and I make him feel bad!"
