Ouyang Rong is in a good mood.

One of the four great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Although he only knew the slender mute woman and the Taoist priest He Maoqiu for one night, they only had a superficial acquaintance with each other by passing water and chatting.

However, this was the first person Ouyang Rong saw and got to know after his main consciousness came to this world.

Or.

He once thought that the mute girl, the Taoist master, and the unknown master were the "fellow fellows" who fell into the well with him.

From the time I climbed out of the Pure Land Palace to now, the time has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ouyang Rong's eyes seemed a bit like a world away.

In front of the stone table where the slender mute woman sat, there was only one intact stone bench, and the other two were lying crooked on the lawn.

After the young magistrate entered the inner courtyard, he did not ask Xiu Du and other courtyard stewards to follow him, and wandered here alone.

He rolled up his sleeves, bent down and straightened the two stone benches, wiped the weeds on the bench surface with his sleeves, and landed on one of the stone benches with his buttocks.

Ouyang Rong's face showed concern, and he asked softly to the delicate mute girl opposite who seemed to be bowing her head inwardly:

"The girl just nods and shakes her head.

"How about food, clothing, food and clothing in this hospital?

"Is there anyone bullying you?

"Are the hospital administrators competent?"

The slender mute woman, who lowered her head so that her face could not be seen, said "Ah" without nodding or shaking her head.

I don't know if I am listening to someone.

Ouyang Rong waited for a while, but saw no response.

There was a cold atmosphere at the table, and no one responded to the enthusiasm.

His expression was not too awkward and he was calm and composed.

It's just a rare meeting, so I wanted to exchange a few words and ask about He Mao Qiu Lao Dao.

But seeing the slender mute girl's cold and repulsive look, Ouyang Rong closed his mouth that was about to open.

He smiled and couldn't help but take a second look at the slender mute woman.

Judging from her behavior in the Pure Land Palace, she must not be deaf.

Deafness and muteness generally coexist.

Because I became deaf when I was young, I lost the ability to learn language. There is no problem with my vocal cords.

As for the slender mute woman in front of her, since she can understand words, she is definitely not this kind of person.

It looks like acquired muteness, maybe due to damaged vocal cords or something.

Ouyang Rong sat aside and basked in the sun for a while, then took a look at the sky and stood up to say goodbye.

Before leaving, he turned around and muttered a few words:

"The girl looks pretty good, so I shouldn't need to add anything to help her.

"But if you have any difficulties in the future, you can go directly to Xiu Du Tuo or Xiu Hair Monk. I will tell them about you before I leave later..."

The slender mute woman buried her head and listened hard, taking note of every word he said, even the slightest concern in his words.

She cannot speak, but her memory has been very good since she was a child.

At this moment, behind the slender mute woman and next to another stone table, Ajie's figure has disappeared.

It turned out that while Ouyang Rong was talking to the mute girl, Ajie, who was sweating profusely, stood up silently and walked backwards away from the stone table that was very close to the slender mute girl.

Although the Qi machine is still locked by her at all times.

But Ajie felt that it would never be wrong to leave the opponent's absolute best area to get up close and personal with the sword.

And the farther away the better, at least you can buy half a breath of reaction time.

Especially the first sword.

Sometimes when swordsmen with similar spiritual energy cultivation levels compete with each other, the biggest advantage or disadvantage lies in the first sword.

Wenjian is like a business with extremely low error tolerance.

In addition to the abundance of capital, how to allocate it rationally and use it wisely is also extremely important. The latter two will decide the difference on the first sword of this meeting.

Ajie knew the truth clearly.

In this regard, we have become more and more careful with our budgets, even spending every penny.

Can……

Ahead, the slender mute woman turned a deaf ear to this.

She sat motionless on the stone bench, showing no intention of turning around to stop her.

Ajie's face became increasingly ugly.

At this moment, the stone bench where the slender mute woman was sitting was under the shade of a small tree.

I heard the man get up and leave, gradually walking away.

The mute woman raised her head, facing his back under the bright sunshine, and uttered a seemingly meaningless syllable:

"ah."

Just like the reaction when Ouyang Rong climbed up to the wellhead in the Pure Land Palace, she raised her little face below and stared blankly.

Maybe he heard the response from behind.

Ouyang Rong raised one hand over his shoulder without looking back, his cuffs fell off, and he waved his slender wrist.

Left this inner courtyard.

The slender mute woman silently watched Ouyang Rong's relaxed figure disappear.

She stared straight ahead. Far behind her, the swordsman named Ajie silently retreated with his sword in hand, until he slowly stopped in a corner of the inner courtyard.

They have already opened a distance of ten feet, and if they go further back, they will hit the wall with their backs.

Ten feet is almost enough to escape the greatest danger.

However, Ajie was not happy at all.

Because it wasn't until this moment that he discovered one thing.

The slender mute woman without a sword did not seem to be using her sword to attack him, but seemed to be... a warning to block him.

In addition, what made Ajie's face become more solemn was that before the slender mute woman was not exposed, Ajie did not realize that he had been targeted at all.

It was not until later that he was about to take Ouyang Rong's life that this powerful energy was belatedly but clearly revealed.

Throughout the entire process, she had no intention of using her sword to attack or take the lead.

In other words, as long as a certain young county magistrate was present, the slender mute girl's attention was not on Ajie the whole time.

This is...what a contempt and humiliation.

The inner courtyard was silent.

Of course, this kind of silence is relative and exclusive to a certain type of people.

In the yard, there were about a dozen injured, old and disabled people from the Beitian Alms Home, basking in the sun and waiting for their meals, plus a bunch of children who were their childhood sweethearts who disturbed them from time to time.

The atmosphere was far from quiet, it was extremely lively.

However, the atmosphere between the mute girl and Ajie, who were sitting and standing at opposite ends of the inner courtyard, was deathly silent.

They didn't even move at all, like two statues.

Ajie felt that the oncoming afternoon breeze was very cold.

A slight chill came from the sweat-soaked temples, scalp, and neck.

After watching the young county magistrate leave, the slender mute woman calmly turned around.

Finally he took a look at the one-armed swordsman.

The two looked at each other in silence for a while.

Ajie shook her head gently at her.

The "Yue Niang" was put down from his arms and replaced by wearing it on his waist.

The remaining palm of his left hand was resting on the hilt of the sword.

Then quietly turned around, took a long way around the stone table where the mute girl was, and followed Ouyang Rong as he left.

However, a slender mute girl stood in Ajie's way.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified again.

The slender mute woman lowered her eyes and glanced at the sword on the waist of the young man with a broken arm.
