Chapter Twenty-Five: Turning the Tiger Out of the Mountain


Hu Zhun sat in front of the vanity mirror, his eyes squinting slightly, comfortably enjoying the feeling of ten delicate fingers shuttling between his hair.

How long has it been since he's realized what it's like to tie his hair?

A year?

Two years?

No, not for that long, in the dream, he lay in the green arms every night, letting her fingers run gently through the ends of her hair, pulling the long black hair into a perfect bun.

But dreams always have to wake up, and the taste of waking up is so uncomfortable, because every time you wake up from a dream, it is a moment of transition from happiness to despair, and it always reminds yourself that this happiness is fake, like a bubble, which bursts with a slight poke.

But now, Green Qiao was real, although it was only ten fingers, but he didn't care, because he knew that it was her, the temperature between her fingers, her voice, all ironed his empty shell-like heart, filled it, and made him feel that he was alive, and no longer a soulless shell.

"Official, you have gray hair."

Midori's fingers stopped, and her voice was full of pity, "It's been a hard time, haven't you?"

” "If you're not here, I'm miserable, but now that you're back, I can get through no matter how hard things are."

He reached for the two warm little hands, but she dodged them, "Midori," he smiled softly, "You're still as naughty as ever." ” There was a knock on the door outside, and the green hand disappeared in his hair, Hu Zhun frowned, got up and walked over to open the door, and when he saw the long figure outside, he was a little surprised, he thought he would not come, after all, now their identity is not just a relative, he is an official, and he is a "suspect" who is being investigated by the government.

"Cousin."

Hu Zhun turned sideways and let Liu Xujiao into the room, before that, he glanced hurriedly at the dresser and found that the two hands were long gone, and his heart was a lot more steady.

"I thought you weren't coming."

He spoke his mind truthfully.

Liu Xujiao sat down on the chair and said in a faint voice, "I also thought that I wouldn't come to you again, but what day is today, have you forgotten?"

” "Grandfather's death day, how could I forget."

"He loved hibiscus the most when he was alive, and I knew that there was a large area of hibiscus outside Xin'an City, so I wanted to go there to pay tribute to him, and I don't know if my cousin would be willing to go with him."

"Xujiao, you don't have to be so polite, I won't get used to it."

"Then you're willing to go with you?

Hibiscus is shining, sooner rather than later, I still have to go to the street to buy some paper money, so let's go.

Liu Xuzhu still didn't look at him, he stood up and walked towards the door, Hu Zhun felt a dull pain in his heart, he followed closely behind Liu Xuzhang, closed the door and walked out.

Seeing that the two of them were walking away, Jiang Xixi just walked out of the shadows, she looked left and right, and her body slipped into Yunhu Academy.

She didn't stop in the front yard, she went straight to the backyard, and saw that there was a lock on the door of the house, she quickly took out a wire from her pocket, drilled it in the keyhole, and soon, the lock made a crisp "click" and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xixi walked into Hu Zhun's bedroom and found that it was not like a man's residence alone, except for the bookshelf full of books, there were almost no other objects, not even a wardrobe, and the only few clothes were neatly stacked at the head of the bed.

Jiang Xixi walked to the dresser, picked up a broken comb on it, and looked at it carefully, but it was just an ordinary wooden comb, and there was nothing special about it, so she looked at it for a while, put the comb down, and walked back and forth in the room, carefully looking at every item in the room.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew and swept over her legs, making her feel a chill from the inside out.

Jiang Xixi froze, why did this wind blow on her calves, and after a few spins in her mind, she suddenly squatted down and looked under the bed.

It was a black mess, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but she vaguely felt that there was some unknown and unspeakable secret hidden behind the blackness.

She reached inside and ran her fingers around under the bed, but nothing touched.

Jiang Xi did not give up, her body moved inside, her arm stretched straight, and once again reached into the darkness, this time, her fingers seemed to touch a hard thing, her body trembled, and her fingers were retracted.

For some reason, a sudden fear rose in her, always thinking that the thing would rush out and bite off her finger.

Since being locked up under the pagoda by Jing Yunlai for so long, Jiang Xixi has an instinctive fear of the dark, and for so many days, she has slept with the lamp on, not daring to stay in the dark for half a step.

Therefore, when faced with the chaotic darkness under the bed, she hesitated for a long time, and finally retreated.

She stood up and was about to go to the courtyard to investigate again, but at this moment, there was a "Gada" sound from under the bed, followed by a long sigh.

"Who's there?"

Jiang Xixi turned her head suddenly, her heart seemed to be caught by a hand, she couldn't jump, she stared at the bed, and didn't know whether to walk over for a while.

"Let us out."

A whisper mingled with a roar rushed into her ear.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Xixi desperately suppressed the fear in her heart, she pulled out the sword from behind her back, grasped it tightly in the palm of her hand, and walked towards the bed again with bated breath.

When she got to the bedside, she leaned down like last time, her sword pointing inside, squinting her eyes desperately trying to see what was inside.

But the darkness was so heavy, so dense, like a board blocking the front, no matter how hard she tried, her eyes couldn't penetrate it.

Suddenly, there was a flash in the darkness, and Jiang Xixi immediately felt a tingling in her heels, as if something had gotten into her shoes, and she was just about to turn back, but her back was hit by something as hard, and a small stone rolled to the side, and she didn't move after a few turns.

"Blue sky, I thought Yunhu Academy was a thief, but I didn't expect it to be you, girl."

A crisp voice sounded outside the door, Jiang Xixi quickly got up from the ground, she turned around, and saw Zhusheng lying on the other side of the courtyard wall, looking at herself with a smile.

"I don't, it's Xun'er's book here, I'll help him find it." was caught by someone, Jiang Xixi's face turned red in an instant, she casually found a reason, but she stammered and didn't even believe herself.

Zhu Sheng's eyes narrowed even more, "I know, but," she looked back outside, "Mr.

Hu is coming back, do you want to hide?"
