Chapter 1: The Yi Family
Dongzhou City is located in the Jiangnan region of China and has a long history. Coupled with its good geographical location and developed economy, it is a bustling metropolis that blends ancient charm and modernity.
It was the middle of summer evening, and the sky was drizzling and foggy, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a thin veil.
A pickup truck pulls off the highway and stops at the intersection.
A young man with a travel bag in his hand got out of the car, he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of khaki pants underneath, which looked quite thick at first glance. It's weird, it's not too hot to dress like this in the summer.
His hair was also a little long, as if it hadn't been taken care of in a long time, and it was a mess. He has a scruffy beard and looks very downcast.
But if you look closely, you will see that he has a very special pair of eyes. Through the ends of his forehead, you could see the unyielding light in his eyes.
This is Yi Xi, who has just returned to Dongzhou City, he raised his face, felt the rain in his hometown, and suppressed the emotion in his heart.
He waved his hand and said to the driver of the pickup truck, "Thank you, brother!"
The driver of the pickup truck waved his hand: "It's okay, no one has a hard time when they go out, anyway, it's on the way." I'm going to go first, I'm going to deliver it!"
With that, the car drove away.
Yi Xi is really grateful to this driver's eldest brother, because he is already penniless. Without this ride, I really don't know when I will be able to come back.
Why did Yi Xi get mixed up so badly? There is a reason for this, and it has to start with his father Yi Shanxing.
Yi Shanxing loves adventure, and because of his extraordinary skills, he has been recognized by a mysterious organization in the world. HUNTER is the English name of this organization, which means searcher, and is generally translated as hunter. This organization undertakes a variety of missions, including dangerous operations such as searching for missing persons, rescuing hostages, protecting important people, and emergency rescue.
This had a huge attraction to Yi Shanxing, so he left his wife and children behind and joined this organization called "Hunter", he completed five S-class missions, and finally became a hunter with his own code name.
Hunters who complete five S-Class missions can take a code name for themselves, and the hunter organization will engrave this code name on the medal and issue it to individuals. This medal is a symbol of the hunter's status.
Yi Shanxing gave himself a code name called "Shaking Mountain Yi". When he happily returned home with the medal, his wife said that she was fed up with this man who did not care about his family and wanted to divorce him.
Yi Shanxing failed to keep his wife in the end. After the divorce, he went abroad again to continue his adventurous career.
Yi Xi grew up with his grandfather, his father rarely came back, and he would only return to China once every few years, and his mother never appeared, and he couldn't remember what she looked like.
In this way, he grew up to the age of seventeen without his own father and mother, and that year, his loving grandfather died. His father took him with him and guided him on the path of a hunter.
The Yi family is a martial arts family, and his grandfather passed on all the "half-step collapse" of the family to Yi Xi. Therefore, his skills are better than his father's.
Yi Xi completed five S-class missions at the age of twenty and earned his own code name "Lizard".
He didn't bother to think of any code name for pulling the wind, so he turned his name upside down, which was also his nickname since he was a child. When he was studying, his classmates called him that.
Thinking of his classmates, Yi Xi thought of his student days again, and remembered the summer ten years ago, when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, but his father wanted to take him abroad. And he was sad because of his grandfather's death, and he felt that he would not get a good result in the college entrance examination, so he agreed.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the personable high school student has become a twenty-seven-year-old down-and-out young man.
Just half a year ago, my father received a call and returned to China, as for the reason, Yi Xi didn't know.
However, it didn't take long for bad news to come from China, my father was seriously injured in southern Xinjiang and died.
Yi Xi was blindsided all of a sudden, and this hit him no less than his grandfather died ten years ago. He left behind the task he was carrying out and returned home desperately.
Because of this reason, Yi Xi was expelled from the hunter organization, and he had to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages, which cost the father and son many years of savings.
Yi Xi didn't complain about the unkindness of the Hunter Organization, because because of him, the mission failed. The important person who was originally protected by Yi Xi died in an accident.
This has seriously damaged the reputation of the hunter organization, and Yi Xi is deeply sorry for both the hunter organization and the parties involved.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in Yi Xi's heart, his relatives are the most important, he flew directly to southern Xinjiang, but he didn't even see the last side of his father, only a box of ashes.
In the absence of relatives, the body was cremated!
Enraged, he went to the local police station to report the case, and the police quickly found out that the cremation of the body was in accordance with the deceased's request.
Of course, in this matter, the relevant personnel did have illegal operations, and they quickly arrested a group of people, and the punishment that should be punished can be regarded as giving Yi Xi an explanation.
But this is not what Yi Xi wants, not only does he want to know why his father's body turned into ashes, but he also wants to know why his father changed from a living person to a cold corpse.
This is very important, if it is murder, then the revenge of killing the father is not shared, and it must be avenged no matter what. But the police version is that Yi Shanxing was injured and killed by a wild animal attack while traveling in southern Xinjiang.
It's unacceptable to say this, why are you teasing me? My dad was a hunter, though not the same as the hunters who hunted for a living in the traditional sense. But ordinary beasts really can't hurt him, so to speak, Dad has the strength to beat tigers.
"Give me a knife and I can live the rest of my life in the forest!" is Dad's famous quote.
Would such a person die because of an attack by a wild animal? It's not easy, there's a conspiracy in it. He decided to investigate the matter himself.
Members of the hunter organization have to learn many skills, including detective skills, so to speak, every hunter is a good detective.
Yi Xi is the best among them, but after a period of open investigation and covert visits, he only found some superficial things. There seems to be a large, invisible hand that erases all traces.
Who called my dad? I don't know! Where did my dad last go? I don't know! There are so many places in southern Xinjiang that can be connected to wild animals.
Yi Xi has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of southern Xinjiang, even the southernmost Great Forest of Yohagu, and the local Aini people are very xenophobic, and he can't ask anything useful.
The money was about to run out, so he had to go back to Dongzhou City first to make plans. The family may have any clues, but he also knows that this is not very likely, because his father also flew directly from abroad to southern Xinjiang and has never returned to Dongzhou at all.
Yi Xi suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that Dad deliberately didn't leave any clues and didn't want Yi Xi to get involved in this matter?
Why? Yi Xi patted his head in pain.
"That...... Handsome guy, where are you going?"
A slightly timid voice interrupted Yi Xi's thoughts, pulling him back from his memories to reality.
At this intersection where Yi Xi got off, there were several electric cars that were soliciting customers. Soliciting by electric vehicles is forbidden because it is easy to get into traffic accidents. But because it is convenient, flexible and inexpensive, many people choose to travel by electric car. With this supply and demand relationship, electric vehicle solicitation is naturally repeatedly banned.
Yi Xi looked at the electric car driver who stepped forward to solicit passengers, a middle-aged man, wearing a pair of glasses, with an elegant temperament, and a very handsome man. Compared to the three meat-faced peers next to him, he doesn't look like he does this business.
Before Yi Xi could talk, the peers rushed up first. One of them grabbed the back collar of the handsome middle-aged man, pulled him hard, and threw him into the muddy ground, and the electric car also collapsed, smashing the awning. Three men punched and kicked him.
While beating, he also scolded: "Dog, Lao Tzu let you rob customers and kill you!"
They hit hard, and the middle-aged man screamed and screamed.
Yi Xi couldn't stand it anymore, his grandfather taught him since he was a child that those who learn martial arts should hoe the strong and help the weak, and not bully the weak. During this time, he has been holding his breath, just to fight and vent. He decided to make a move.
Carefully put the travel bag on the ground, patted it lightly with his hand, confirmed its stability, and Yi Xi turned around.
"Hey, stop fighting, fight me!"
Before the words fell, the person had already rushed forward and said hello, this was not a sneak attack...... Right?
The three of them were playing happily, and when they heard someone stopping them, they couldn't help but be very upset.
"Boy, what are you so ...... Ahh
One of them wanted to say a cruel word, but before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked, he rolled to the ground, tried to stand up, and the pain was so bad that he lost his strength. After a few struggles, he gave up.
If you don't give up, you can't do it, because after a few efforts, the other two have also been put down, and they are lying on the ground and croaking!
Compared to a martial arts master like Yi Xi who has practiced "qi", ordinary people are really too weak! Of course, he is very measured, and he doesn't hurt them when he hurts, so he can naturally stand up after the pain.
I was about to help the middle-aged man up, but I saw the middle-aged man holding his broken glasses and crying.
While crying, he said, "I'm sorry...... I didn't use it, I didn't protect you, I didn't take care of our daughter......"
Yi Xi couldn't help but be stunned, what is this development? Shouldn't you be grateful, and then give me a trip for free...... It's getting dark, why are you crying there?
Forget it, let's go back by ourselves! Although they scared the few goods lying on the ground, they didn't dare not pull themselves. But I don't have any money to give, isn't that extortion?
This is not in line with grandpa's education policy, you can't do this, it's better to rely on a pair of legs. He picked up his duffel bag and headed home.
didn't go far, but the handsome middle-aged man chased after him in an electric car.
"Wait...... Brother, where are you going? I'll take you. It was so rude just now, and I didn't thank you when I thought of the sad thing. ”
"If it's convenient, can you send me home, it's just ...... I don't have any money. Yi Xi is a little embarrassed, is this considered a coercion?
"It's convenient and convenient, how can you ask for your benefactor's money, where is your home?"
"Wuchengli Eighteen. ”
"Are you the Yi family?" The handsome middle-aged man's gray eyes couldn't help but light up.
