"Zijin, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time." A gentle and calm voice sounded behind Tian Zijin. She turned around and felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhou Qing, I'm sorry! I saw a familiar person just now. " The person Tian Zijin was facing was Zhou Qing, whom Nie Li had been looking for. Tian Zijin's expression made Zhou Qing feel a little strange. His eyes were gloomy, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.
"Is he someone you know?" Zhou Qing continued to ask.
"Wasn't I kidnapped before? I was saved by someone. I met him just now. " Tian Zijin didn't hide anything. Perhaps it was because she was so happy that she felt that it wasn't a big deal to talk about it.
"Is that so? Then we must thank him properly. "Zhou Qing's face turned happy as he said happily, as if he could empathize with Tian Zijin's happiness.
"I don't know! I only asked for his name. "After Zhou Qing said this, Tian Zijin suddenly realized that she had forgotten to ask for Nie Li's address.
"It's fine. As long as he's in Cloud Sea City, Uncle Tian will definitely be able to find him. By the way, what's his name? " Zhou Qing asked bit by bit. Under his smiling face, there was a hidden jealousy that no one knew about.
"His name is Nie Li." After Tian Zijin finished speaking, Zhou Qing muttered a few words to himself. However, his lowered head hid a ferocious face.
"Then let's return to the mansion first!" After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he pulled Tian Zijin's hand and left. He turned around and looked in the direction Tian Zijin was facing, as if he wanted to see that person. The light shone on the side of his face, making it half bright and half dark, so his expression couldn't be seen.
Nie Li, who was sitting in the carriage, fell into a deep sleep after returning to the Fang Residence. On the other side of the Tian Residence, in the study, the middle-aged man from last time was sitting opposite Zhou Qing. He had a kind appearance, and one would have a good impression of him at first glance.
"Uncle Tian, the other party is starting to lose control." "At this time, it would be strange if Fang Tong could still hold it in. Are we going to poop on his head? Poop? Piss. "
"But, uncle, I suspect that the Ghost Mansion from before was caused by Fang Tong." Zhou Qing sat upright and still in a humble posture. The man opposite him leaned back in his chair and slumped down.
"There's no doubt about it. It's definitely him. He just wanted to make a show of force, but this Liu Ming is too disappointing. Bring Zijin out to play these few days. Her uncle usually treats her very well. Now that he's like this, it's inevitable that she'll be sad. "
"Alright." Zhou Qing wanted to say something but hesitated. He originally wanted to tell Tian Lei about Nie Li, but with Tian Lei's character, he would definitely try to recruit him. At that time, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Nie Li.
"Get out! I want to rest. "Seeing that Zhou Qing did not speak, Tian Lei ordered him to leave. Zhou Qing knew what his rest was. After Zhou Qing left, Tian Lei moved a bookshelf in the study and pushed open the secret door. The tunnel was complicated, and Tian Lei came to a remote hut. It was a completely different world inside.
There were clothes, tables, beds, and cabinets. However, the most eye-catching thing was a few women and a tombstone in the room. They were all wearing undergarments and underwear. Their figures were beautiful and their appearances were beautiful.
A lewd smile hung on Tian Lei's lips. He hugged a woman and moved his hands up and down. However, these women did not resist or shout. It was as if they were bodies without souls, allowing Tian Lei to carry them to the bed.
The red gauze was gently wrapped and the curtain was slightly covered. Clothes fell to the ground, the bed swayed, and decadent sounds filled the air. The blending bodies were sweating. The strange thing was that these women had a flower tattoo on their white backs.
Early the next morning, Nie Li rubbed his head. He drank too much last night, and after the hangover, he had a splitting headache. He sat cross-legged and meditated. After a few cycles, Nie Li felt much better. He put on his clothes and got out of bed.
Pushing open the door, he saw heavy snow outside. The world was vast. He didn't expect it to snow at this time. The last time it snowed was a long time ago, a few days before his father passed away.
Wrapped in the black cloak, Nie Li walked around the courtyard. The black cloak was covered with falling snow. The biting cold wind made Nie Li's eyes dry.
"It's snowing!" Fang Tong walked to Nie Li's side. "Yes! There's a lot of snow this year. "Nie Li touched it gently with his hand. It turned into water droplets on his fingertips and fell into the snow.
"Next year will be a good sign." Fang Tong held the pillar in the corridor and led Nie Li to the garden in the courtyard.
"If a good sign needs to be predicted in this way, then it's too cold." The snow here buried his father, buried his home, buried his way back, and covered his pure heart.
"A timely snow indicates a good year. Next year's good luck will always be next year. However, this snow will bury many people. This year is destined to be sad." Fang Tong also sighed. Two servants brought in a stove, a pot of water, a teapot, and two teacups.
Fang Tong put the pot on the stove. After a while, the pot spouted steam. Fang Tong opened the lid of the teapot and put it on the cold stone table. Then she poured in a few cups of hot water and put the pot on the stove.
She closed the lid of the pot and gently shook it in her hand. Then she got up and poured out the yellow tea with a strong tea fragrance. The sizzling sound of melting was so weak that it couldn't be heard in the whistling wind and snow.
"Brother Fang, why did you pour out this pot of tea?" Nie Li saw Fang Tong pour out the tea that he had been waiting for a long time. He couldn't help but feel pity and asked.
"This tea is picked from the mountains in the north. Cloud Sea City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. This tea grows on this mountain and is called Cloud Sea Tea. There are good and bad Cloud Sea Tea. The good ones grow on the mountainside. There are no people there all year round and the temperature is extremely low. "
"But this good tea also has its own shortcomings. Because of the environmental problem, it needs to be quickly shaved after picking to maintain its original fragrance. But the tea farmers here can't stay on the mountain for so long. So they go to the mountain and wrap the tea with soil. This way, it can maintain its original essence. "
"Therefore, when people drink this Cloud Sea Tea, they first boil it with hot water to wash away the dirt and release its fragrance. Then you can drink it. " Fang Tong said while pouring hot water. She also poured a cup for Nie Li. The fragrance of the tea complemented the wind and snow.
"I didn't expect this tea to be so difficult to get." Nie Li put the teacup to his mouth and took a sip. Although it was hot, it left a fragrance in his mouth. There was an indescribable taste. Maybe the hard work of the tea farmers and the soil that maintained their lives gave it a different taste.
"But even so, people can always taste a different taste from this tea. Taste it carefully. Some people say it's soil, some say it's rain, some say it's frost." Fang Tong looked at Nie Li's thoughtful expression and also took a sip.
"Brother Fang, what taste do you taste?" Nie Li asked. He was curious whether Fang Tong's taste was the same as his.
"I taste the tea. No matter what others say, it has the taste of heaven and earth after being irrigated by the wind and rain and nourished by the earth. But it is still tea. Even if it is wrapped in soil, it will be the real tea after it is washed away." Fang Tong said without hesitation. He wasn't as gentle as the others. He drank tea and tasted tea.
"Good tea is wrapped in soil, but white bones are pressed under the snow." Nie Li sighed and took a sip of the tea. He was afraid that it had been left for too long. It was cold and refreshing.
"There is no need to hide things. The purpose is from the beginning. It will not change no matter how you put on it. When everything is uncovered, you will find that it is still the same. "Fang Tong said something that Nie Li did not understand.
"Haha, you are still young. You will understand these words in the future." Fang Tong laughed. Nie Li nodded. Looking at the heavy snow outside the pavilion, he remembered his father's words.
He also said that he was still young and would understand in the future. If this maturity requires sadness and pain to understand, then it must be endured. It will come sooner or later. It is just a matter of time. Nie Li felt that he had already started.
"The person I asked you to kill last time was Tian Lei's brother-in-law. I think you must have heard it from outsiders." Fang Tong looked at Nie Li's eyes that were looking into the distance. They were like broken stars, waiting for the light to fall.
"I know. It was a warning to Tian Lei." Nie Li knew about the fight between Fang Tong and Tian Lei. They had been fighting for so many years.
"Not only for this, but also to take back the territory. These years, Tian Lei arranged for his confidants to eat away at the Cloud Sea Gang. Last time when you killed Xie Peng, Xie Peng's subordinates immediately took over and surrendered to Tian Lei."
"The reason I asked you to kill Liu Ming was to intimidate Tian Lei and also to take back some territory. Today, Bai Lu went out for this." Fang Tong told Nie Li about the triad, which showed her trust in him.
"I think there is something fishy about this." Nie Li put the tea on the table and stared at Fang Tong.
"What's fishy? Tell me." Fang Tong was also interested to hear Nie Li's opinion.
"Didn't I say before that the person who tipped me off was a person named Zhou Qing? If he knew so much, he must be a member of the Cloud Sea Gang. I once asked him about Xie Peng's base."
"What if this person was aiming for Xie Peng's base from the beginning? He knew about the conflict between me and Xie Peng and wanted to use me to kill Xie Peng. If he succeeded, he would let the person he arranged in advance take over. If he failed, he would definitely make the next move."
"Now that I think about it, Xie Peng's subordinates didn't side with you, but with Tian Lei. I suspect that this Zhou Qing is Tian Lei's man." Nie Li sorted out the matter from beginning to end and found many suspicious points. He hurriedly said his own opinion.
"If Zhou Qing is really Tian Lei's man, then it's easy to deal with. We can settle all these accounts together. " Fang Tong crushed the teacup. The sharp porcelain pieces pierced Fang Tong's palm, but he didn't care.
Nie Li hurriedly stood up and took out a handkerchief from his bosom. This handkerchief was given to him by Tian Zijin. After he washed it last night, he had been carrying it with him.
Suddenly, Fang Tong grabbed Nie Li's wrist. The snow in the air seemed to have gotten heavier.
