Chapter 4: Whitewater
Under the old willow tree, a pinch of loess, a wooden tablet, and a kneeling figure.
Long.
"It's time to go. A voice came softly from beside him.
Ou Feng came back from his trance, took a deep breath, and kowtowed deeply three times towards his parents' grave.
He got up and didn't pause for the slightest, but turned and left.
Zhou Ling'er looked at Ou Feng's thin and firm back and slowly left, Ou Feng's shadow on the ground under the sun, it seemed that every step was taller, and the anti-Buddha could be compared to Yun Xiao if he kept walking.
Village.
Li Erhu and the three of them were sitting quietly on the side, drooping their heads and being silent.
Ou Feng saw the bloodshot eyes of the three of them, and Ou Feng knew that this night was the most gloomy and helpless day in their lives for all of them.
Sitting down quietly next to the three of them, looking at the ruins of the village, Ou Feng patted Li Erhu's shoulder next to him, looked at the three of them and said, "This blood sea of deep hatred, we will definitely take revenge!"
Li Yu raised his head and glanced at Ou Feng without a look, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Seeing that the three of them were still silent, Ou Feng rushed up from his chest, got up and stood in front of the three of them, raised his palms and swore an oath.
"I, Ou Feng, swear again, within five years, if this revenge is not avenged, I will definitely commit suicide here!"
Hearing Ou Feng's sonorous and powerful voice, the three of them raised their heads and looked at Ou Feng in front of them, and there was gradually a divine light in their eyes.
"I, Li Yu, swear again, within five years, if this revenge is not avenged, I will definitely commit suicide here!"
"I, Li Lei, swear again, within five years, if this revenge is not avenged, I will definitely commit suicide here!"
"I, Li Erhu, swear again, within five years, if this revenge is not avenged, I will definitely commit suicide here!"
As the three of them took vows one by one, the sadness and decadence wrapped around their bodies gradually dissipated.
The four of them hugged each other tightly.
At this moment, the four teenagers did not know that they had formed a deep brotherhood that would never exist again in the years to come.
Baishui Town, located on the border of Qingzhou. There are twenty or thirty towns large and small within a radius of several hundred miles, and Whitewater is located in the center of these towns.
As a hub town within a radius of several hundred miles, Whitewater is also the most prosperous town, with trading shops, large and small gangs set up here.
On the way to Baishui Town, during the conversation with Zhou Ling'er, Ou Feng and the four of them were surprised to learn. Zhou Ling'er's father is in Baishui Town, and he is also one of the two largest gangs within a radius of hundreds of miles, the hall master of the Hall of Justice. And the other one who can go hand in hand with the Hall of Justice is the Wild Wolf Gang.
The Hall of Justice was established by Zhou Yan, Zhou Ling'er's father.
Zhou Ling'er's father, Zhou Yan, was originally a famous dart master. Because of his bold personality and his penchant for making friends, he gradually had the prototype of the Hall of Justice and gradually developed into what it is today.
The Wild Wolf Gang was founded by several groups of horse thieves in order to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government, and after its establishment, they burned, killed, and plundered everywhere, doing all kinds of evil, and gradually grew to the point that the government was helpless against it.
Because they are the two largest gangs within a radius of hundreds of miles, the Righteous Hall and the Wild Wolf Gang control eight or nine towns respectively, just because of the prosperity of Baishui Town, neither side wants to give in, but because the difference in strength is not large, they can only negotiate with the two sides to manage Baishui Town together. Although there are frictions from time to time, they still try to keep them under control.
Whitewater, Church of Justice, inside the hall.
The middle-aged man in white on the first seat was listening to the report of his subordinates with a grim face. When he heard that his daughter Zhou Ling'er was missing, a mysterious aura burst out of his body uncontrollably, and the people in the audience retreated again and again.
"Mobilize the whole hall and find it for me!"
Hearing the roar of the hall master, the figures in the audience hurriedly bowed their heads, did not dare to stop at all, and quickly retreated backwards.
At sunset, Ou Feng and the others finally arrived at Baishui Town after a day's trek over the mountains and mountains.
Even though it was evening, the streets were still full of people, and the hawkers were constantly shouting. Li Lei and Li Erhu came to Baishui Town for the first time, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they looked up and looked around in surprise.
Looking at the shops and liquor shops on both sides of the street that still have some impressions in his memory, and recalling the scene when his father brought him here for the first time, Ou Feng couldn't help but feel a little sad. But it was only a moment, Ou Feng took a long breath and followed Zhou Ling'er to the center of the town.
The central area of Baishui Town is also the most prosperous street, where countless rich mansions of the Jianghu sect are located.
And in the middle of the street, a mansion with blue bricks and green tiles, from time to time there are dart masters dressed in white, with swords hanging from their waists, and the three words of the Hall of Justice embroidered on their chests. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters: Justice Hall.
Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of them, Li Erhu and the others opened their mouths in surprise, they couldn't have imagined that Zhou Ling'er was the daughter of such a big family.
At this time, the guards at the door also noticed a few people standing on the side of the street, and when they saw Zhou Ling'er in the middle, they hurriedly ran into the house to report.
Hearing the guard's report, Zhou Yan, who was anxiously wandering in the mansion, froze and hurriedly strode towards the door.
Walking to the door, I saw Zhou Ling'er standing on the side of the street at a glance, and hurriedly ran over, first checked Zhou Ling'er's whole body up and down, and after seeing that there was no major problem, his expression eased greatly, and he hugged the latter into his arms.
Father and daughter meet, after a moment of warmth. Hearing Zhou Ling'er introduce his life-saving benefactor, Zhou Yan only noticed Ou Feng and a few people who were standing cramped on the side at this time.
Looking at the few ordinary teenagers in front of him, Zhou Yan did not slack off in the slightest. hugged his fists again and again to thank him, and invited Ou Feng and a few people into the house.
Wait for the group to sit down in the lobby.
"Ling'er, what happened, why didn't your mother stay with you?" Zhou Yan asked.
Hearing her father's inquiry, Zhou Ling'er's delicate body froze, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Although Zhou Ling'er had prepared for the worst in her heart, she still had a trace of luck, hoping that her mother could escape from the pursuit like herself and return home safely. Hearing her father's inquiry, Zhou Linger already knew that her mother might have been unlucky.
Zhou Yan saw his daughter like this, his heart sank, and he could only comfort him. But at this time, Zhou Linger was already out of control, and when she thought of the past with her mother, she almost fainted. Zhou Yan had no choice but to let his subordinates take his daughter back to the room to rest first.
After watching his daughter leave, Zhou Yan held his forehead with one hand, rubbed his temples with the other, forcibly suppressed the depressed emotions in his heart, and said to Ou Feng and the others who were sitting in the audience.
"Can you tell me what happened? ”
Zhou Yan must find out who is so bold that he dares to touch his Zhou Yan's daughter!
When Ou Feng heard this, he straightened out his thoughts and started with Zhou Ling'er, who happened to meet in a coma in the mountains.
After hearing Ou Feng talk about a few people escaping in the mountains and wilderness, they were rescued by a mysterious hunchbacked old man, who killed several men in black with just a few pieces of rubble.
Zhou Yan was shocked in his heart, he thought that although he could easily kill those few people in black, he would never be as easy as the old man.
This old man is a master! And obviously more powerful than himself!
You must know that you are a mystic, although it is only a beginner in cultivation. But in this remote place, he is already one of the best masters, which shows the strength of the old man.
After listening to Ou Feng's narration, Zhou Yan also knew what happened to the former, and his eyes gradually softened when he looked at the teenagers in front of him.
"Do you know what the characteristics of those black-clothed people are?" Zhou Yan said, he wanted to start with these black-clothed people to see if he could find some clues.
Ou Feng thought for a moment and shook his head.
"But ......"
Just when Zhou Yan was disappointed, Ou Feng suddenly thought of something and spoke.
"I remember the leader being as fat as a drum and having a hideous scar that ran all over his face. ”
Hearing Ou Feng's description, a figure appeared in Zhou Yan's mind, and then his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Wolves!"
