Dust of the past

Who are they that Qiu Si is talking about?

A family that can compete with the Duanmu family, and it's also Situ Ningbing's family?

Could it be that it is one of the four major families in China?

As mentioned earlier, the four famous families with compound surnames in China are not simple families.

One is: Ouyang Shilu Realm, the second is: Yuwen Family, the third: Situ Family, and the fourth: the dark Duanmu Family.

These four major families are all in the land of dragons and tigers, and it can be said that they are thriving in China.

Is Situ Ningbing a member of the Situ family?

It turned out that Situ Ningbing was kidnapped by the "Seven Evils" when she was very young and started her training career as a killer, and she had never met her relatives again for so many years.

The family has long thought that the daughter who was taken away is no longer alive...... Even the cemetery was built for Situ Ningbing.

Situ Ningbing has returned to her home since she became the killer of the Seven Evils, and she can come and go freely.

It's just that she just stopped to look at her relatives from afar...... Never told them that their daughter was not dead......

So when Qiu Si said this, Situ Ningbing's face changed.

"Godfather, don't say ......"

"I said I didn't want them to be sad for me anymore...... Since I've been dead in their minds for so many years...... There's no need to go back and grieve them again. After Situ Ningbing finished saying this, she turned around and walked away.

But Qiu Si couldn't help but sigh.

"This girl...... Hey!"

——

After Li Tian woke up, his injuries recovered relatively quickly in the past two days.

Now I can walk preliminarily, but sometimes there is a slight pain in my chest.

And in the past two days, Li Tian rarely saw Situ Ningbing, as if when he woke up, Situ Ningbing rarely came.

This couldn't help but make Li Tian a little disappointed, and secretly lined her heart: did she really care about what she said at that time?

The weather is nice and sunny today.

Li Tian slowly walked out of the courtyard and stood in the courtyard.

Li Tian, who has lived here for a few days, also roughly understands the living habits of Qiu Si, this old man who used to dominate the underworld, has to be in the main hall every day, chanting and chanting Buddha for a period of time.

Maybe it's because he repented because he killed too much when he was young, or maybe because Qiu Si began to believe in Buddhism......

Li Tian walked around the courtyard, but he didn't find Situ Ningbing's figure, and slowly walked out of the courtyard with his injured body.

But there was still no sign of her outside.

Standing there, with his back against the wall, Li Tian was inexplicably disappointed......

His eyes looked at the emptiness outside, and the big poplar tree next to him was still blowing down some fallen leaves with the cold wind.

Li Tian suddenly felt that there was no trace of "him".

The rickety, deaf old man.

Yes, since the last time he suddenly taught Li Tian (Rashomon: Nine Styles) in the cave, it seems that he has not appeared.

Is he really gone? Gone?

Li Tian was suddenly alone looking out of the empty courtyard, and he still vaguely remembered the desolate back of the rickety old man staggering and sweeping the floor, but now? His person had completely disappeared.

Raising his eyes and looking at the direction of the tree-lined back mountain, the direction of the back mountain is not very far from here, Li Tian looked at it like that.

Maybe that old man with hatred will really not appear again!!

But who is he? Is he a member of the Duanmu family, one of the four major families in China?

It should be, if he wasn't a member of the Duanmu family, how could he know so much about the affairs of the Duanmu family. And it will also be the trick of the Duanmu family (Rashomon: Nine Styles).

Thinking of what the rickety old man had asked him to do, Li Tian was a little depressed.

"Duanki Kuroaki ......"

"I heard the old man say that the name of the person who harmed him was Duanmu Heiming...... Who is Duanmu Heiming?"

While Li Tian was thinking silently, a slight coughing sound suddenly appeared in the place behind him.

When he turned his head to look, he saw Qiu Lao's tall and burly figure standing behind him, smiling.

"Hate the elderly. Li Tian shouted.

Qiu Lao walked over with steps.

"How's it going, are your injuries getting better?" Qiu Si asked with concern.

Li Tiandao: "It's almost good." ”

"Young people's bodies are just good. Qiu Si Ha said with a smile.

Li Tian also smiled.

"Old Qiu, there's something I want to ask. Li Tian suddenly stared at Qiu Sidao and said.

Qiu Sidao said, "What's the matter?"

"It's the rickety old man sweeping the floor in front of your door. When did he meet you? And Qiu Lao, are you familiar with him?" Li Tian wanted to learn about the benefactor in Jiao himself (Rashomon: Nine Styles) through Qiu Si in front of him.

After all, if it weren't for the rickety old man, they would have all died in this small courtyard yard, where there is still such leisure time to chat here.

Hearing Li Tian suddenly ask, Qiu Si's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"You ask the dumb uncle?"

"He seems to have disappeared since the day they came...... Even I don't know where he went. Qiu Si in front of him suddenly sighed and said.

Yes, the rickety eccentrics did disappear from that day.

Of course, Qiu Si in front of him would not know the secret between that dumb man and Li Tian...... Because the dumb uncle once asked Li Tian to promise him that he was not allowed to talk to others about everything he saw, Li Tian kept his mouth shut tightly and did not tell what happened in that inexplicable cave that day.

"Oh. Li Tian replied lightly.

"But Old Qiu, how did you get acquainted with that dumb man in the first place?" Li Tian couldn't help but ask there.

"Why do you suddenly care about him?" Qiu Lao said as he looked at Li Tian in surprise.

Li Tian smiled faintly: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." ”

Qiu Lao didn't ask too many questions, thought about it and suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, the dumb uncle can be regarded as a poor old man. ”

Li Tianyi was stunned: "Why do you say that?"

"I remember when I saw him, he was covered in blood, the blood coming out of his ear and throat was ugly and disgusting, and he was lying on the side of the road like a dead dog that no one cared about, and from that time on, I took him in. ”

"After saving him, I realized that his ears and throat had been destroyed by the enemy and he had become a deaf and mute...... Since then, he has been crazy, sweeping and sweeping outside the door every day with a broom, and it has been so many years......"

When Li Tian heard Qiu Si say this, he couldn't help but be stunned: Could it be that it was really his own brother who killed the rickety old man back then? That person named Duanmu Heiming?

"Didn't the old man tell you about the past?" Li Tian couldn't help but ask again.

Qiu Si shook his head.

"Nope!"

"Since the day I rescued him, his voice has been completely broken, and he has not spoken a word, and occasionally he can only scream a few words in a hoarse voice, and as for hearing? ”
