Chun Yu Bingbing sat on a chair on the corner of the street, watching the two old men alone over there, salvaging clues to solve the puzzles of the recent puzzle from the long river of memories. A sanitation worker picks up garbage bags in the wind, and an elderly couple walking around is stopping to rest.

A little boy came over and suddenly asked, "Why is he crying when the uncle's beard is old?" Chun Yu Bingbing glanced at him and sighed: To put it simply, it is blown by the cold weather, it is complicated to say, it is difficult, the tears of an old man, it is difficult to say that it is complicated, but when I see the tears wet, I don't know who I hate.

The little boy looked no more than seven or eight years old, and he probably couldn't understand the complicated answers. But Chun Yubing answered his question very formally. It is unusual for such a young child to appear here at such a late hour. Chun Yu Bingbing only glanced at him, didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, patted the position next to him, and motioned for him to sit here.

People are social animals who are good at being alone but crave companionship, and when they warm the loneliness of others, they actually relieve their own loneliness.

"Sister, are you waiting for someone?" the little boy sat down next to him.

"Sister?" Chun Yubing was stunned for a moment, smiled, and nodded, you guessed right. Rhetorical question: "What about you? Why did you come out alone so late?"

"Isn't that my sister?" the little boy looked at her and said seriously, "You're so old, can I still call you sister?"

Chun Yu Bingbing felt a tingling pain in his legs, was slightly stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "If I get married earlier, it will not be strange to raise a son as big as you." ”

The little boy laughed, and his eyes were actually cloudy, and he held a slender syringe in his white and tender little hand, proudly: "You look so young, if we met ten years earlier, it would be good for you to be my wife." ”

"It's a pity. Chun Yubing said: "I mean the person you met is I, who I grew up in a medicine jar since I was a child, and I won't tell you the truth, I am immune to hallucinogenic drugs, and neurotoxins and hemolytic toxins have no effect on me." Rhetorical question: "I wonder if you are immune to paralytic toxoids?"

"What do you mean?" the little boy looked at her with alert eyes, and suddenly found that there was a little spider lying on the back of Chun Yubing's hand, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, and said, "You, what did you do to me?"

"You should be asking what this little thing is doing to you. Chun Yu showed him the spider on the back of his hand.

It was a beautiful spider with black skin on the back of the painting, with a body the size of a little thumb and a belly, and it looked small and exquisite.

The little boy's face changed drastically, and under the street lamp, it looked like it was green, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Is this a Siamese tabby spider?"

Chun Yu Bingbing nodded and said, "When biting, it will release a paralyzing toxoid, which makes people feel nothing at all." ”

"So you already know I'm not a child?" asked the little boy in horror.

"You might as well ask more constructive questions while you still have to speak. Chun Yubing said: "For example, since I have already seen you coming, will my companions have also noticed your accomplices?"

"You three are fishing?"

"We're chatting and trying our luck. ”

The 'little boy' was speechless, a ho-ho sound came from his throat, and his eyes were full of despair and fear.

"We know that those who want to find us will not give up. Chun Yu Bingbing slowly took the syringe in his hand, touched his head gently, and continued: "That person is no longer what it used to be, it seems that his goal is getting bigger and bigger, and he must not want the old experience to become a stumbling block for him to climb up, so he will get so many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to come out to solve the old friends who know his details, Lao Lu remembered that there was a person in the city who had a lot to do with that person, so he deliberately came out to try his luck." ”

Under the effect of the paralyzing toxin, the 'little boy' began to have difficulty breathing, his eyes were red, his whole body was stiff, and he made a pleading expression in pain.

Chun Yubing looked at him indifferently and continued: "It's just that I didn't expect to catch such an interesting fish, I thought that no one dared to do the lack of virtue of raising skins in the vinegar jar, but I didn't expect that there was still you as the inheritor in the Twelve Phases, and it was a pity to let you die like this." ”

Li Muye and Xiaofen stood on the terrace of the antechamber of a building and looked down, watching every move of the people below, and every word that Chun Yubing said came to his ears through wireless communication. Although Xiao Fen already knew that the little boy was fake, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What is a vinegar jar skin keeper?"

"Hmm. Li Muye pondered for a moment and explained: "It is a person in the color character door of the old Jianghu Golden Review, the juggler sucks the stolen child in the vinegar jar from birth to feed, feeds the placenta of the animal, and lets him maintain the appearance of the child, but does not let him grow up, after adulthood, this person stops developing, and can be placed in the jar to bluff people, in the old Jianghu Twelve Phases, this passerby is called a boneless skin man." ”

"This is more cruel than a brute!" Xiao Fen said in surprise, "This person is so pitiful. ”

Li Muye said with a serious expression: "Jianghu people can't be regarded as ordinary people, there is nothing pitiful or pitiful, this Jianghu can't accommodate too many sympathetic feelings, if Chun Yu's eldest sister is defeated, do you still think this person is pitiful?" and said: "When I was a teenager, I followed Li Qizhi to wander all over the world, and I heard that in the past, there was a door to make animals, and children were wrapped in the skin of dogs or monkeys to raise, and they made money or stolen from various performances, which sounds more cruel, but that is the way some Jianghu people live." ”

Xiao Fen shook his head and said, "It's terrible, these people are simply out of conscience!"

Li Muye said: "Any way of survival is not simply good and evil can be summarized, their choice to become a devil is not necessarily voluntary, but no matter what objective reasons, once they make a choice, they can only go one way to the dark, what they need is just a full stop, not cheap sympathy and childish anger." ”

"Uncle, I can understand the reason, but I still can't accept the existence of such a person in this world, this person who makes people is really terrible. ”

"Water into the sludge, although clear but also turbid, people into evil, although righteous but also treacherous. Li Muye said: "Actually, it's not just these evil people, as long as the people who have lived in that big dye vat, whether it's me, or Brother Ye and your father, they can't be judged by simple good or bad, unless the world is turned upside down, otherwise we will never be able to wash it away." ”

"No, no, at least I know you're not like them. Xiao Fen was firm: "You have feelings and righteousness, and you will not use the skills you have mastered to hurt the innocent." ”

"You also said so. Li Muye said with a smile: "People like me and Brother Ye are chivalrous factions in the rivers and lakes, not for the purpose of simple survival, although they have been infected, they still want to retain a little bit of human flavor, in this regard, it is actually right that Mr. Li refused to accept me as a beginner." ”

Xiao Fen said: "I have heard you mention this person surnamed Li more than once. ”

Li Muye said: "He is the leader of my entry into the rivers and lakes, and has taught me many ways to survive in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Is this person dealing with Uncle Ye and my father to kill people?"

"Maybe, but not really, I think he wants to put on an attitude of those who follow me and those who oppose me to show Lao Ye and Lao Lu. ”

"The troubles of the Taiping Society have not been solved, and there is another master of Qizhi, who is in the rivers and lakes, and is indeed not only romantic and chic. Xiao Fen sighed: "I now understand more and more why my dad is so opposed to me being with you." ”

"Will you regret it?"

"No, there's nothing to regret. Xiao Fen shook her head resolutely and said: "Now I want to run our business well, and I have to prove to him that my choice is not wrong." ”

"Lao Ye and your dad are ready to do it, let's go down and prepare to finish the aftermath. ”

••••••

The north wind blew, a garbage bag was rolled up, and the sanitation worker chased after it with a basket. The elderly couple walked upwind, and almost at the same time, the sanitation worker's basket grabbed the garbage bag.

With a pop, the bag burst open, and the smoke and dust rose and drifted towards Ye Hongyou and Lu Yuan.

The man of the elderly couple took out a lighter and lit a cigarette and took a puff of the smoke that exploded.

Ye Hong and Lao Lu watched the smoke and dust drift over, the cigarette butt towards the smoke, and a playing card flew out of Lao Ye's hand to accurately cut off the flame of the cigarette. But Lu Yuan slapped his stomach and spewed out a big sip of beer in the face of smoke and dust.

The two walked through the smoke side by side, Lu Yuan walked towards the sanitation workers, and Ye Hong faced the two elderly couples.

The woman dressed as an old lady flipped her wrist and flashed a dagger, and Ye Hongyou's playing card flew out and slashed at the woman's wrist. The woman screamed in pain and threw away the dagger. Ye Hong had an extra handful of playing cards in his hand. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, the man turned around and fled.

"Shen Hongbin, do you think it's because your legs are fast, or my hands are fast?" Ye Hong said in a loud voice behind him again.

The sanitation worker looked at Lu Yuan, gritted his teeth and said: "Fat Lu, count your fate, Xiaoqiu's subordinates didn't want your life, but don't be complacent, sooner or later someone will clean you up." ”

"At least not your turn yet. Lu Yuan said: "Shen Hongyun, do you think you have a chance to see that day?"

Ye Hong said again: "I haven't seen you for many years, that's how your brother greets old friends?"

The sanitation worker gritted his teeth and said, "The surname is Ye, how did you recognize it?"

Ye Hong said again: "Wang Baoshu has undergone plastic surgery, and Qiu Xuehua has also undergone plastic surgery, it is not unexpected for you two to change their faces." ”

Lu Yuan said: "We know that someone is playing a big game of chess, do you two know what he wants to do?"
