"Xiaolian~"

As the master of the woodcutter walked in front, he suddenly felt that tonight was a little different from usual, perhaps because the temperature had dropped a little, so he asked, "How long have you been with me?"

"It's been a year since I returned to my master's words. Xiao Lian's words were also simple, so he thought about it and answered.

"Have you been following me for a year?" muttered to the old man who was chopping wood.

"Yes, master. Xiao Lian replied in the affirmative.

A year?

Speaking of which, today is the season of 'white dew', and winter will begin in two months, when the weather will drop and the temperature will be even lower.

At this time, the master who chopped wood also remembered something, "Xiaolian, this will be your birthday in a few days, right?"

"Yes, master. Xiao Lian replied simply.

Speaking of his birthday, it was only about once, and this birthday was told to him by the old man who sent him.

Even if it was only once, it was on this Yang Mansion, and the master who chopped wood pulled all the workers in the boiler room to celebrate Xiaolian's birthday together.

Then, when Xiao Lian was asked at this moment, he also answered quite simply.

After all, the only person in the world who moved him so much was this master who chopped wood.

The master who chopped wood also asked about his birthday intentionally or unintentionally not long after Xiaolian came to Yang's house.

Xiao Lian also thought about it briefly, and then told the old man about his birthday, and also told the master who cut wood.

In this way, when he learned of Xiao Lian's birthday, the master who cut wood also counted his fingers, and only then did he learn that his birthday was a few days away.

teamed up with several workers in the boiler room to secretly prepare a birthday banquet for him in private, so when the birthday really came, Xiaolian also enjoyed his own special birthday banquet.

This time, Xiao Lian was so happy, he was jumping and jumping at the birthday banquet, completely like a child who got New Year's money, and his heart didn't know where to go.

However, this is also the happiest time for him, and it is also the biggest surprise he has received in his life, from birth to today.

So naturally, this boiler room and this wood-chopping master are equivalent to Xiaolian's second relatives, and this Yang family is also equivalent to his second home.

In this way, the workers in the boiler room should do their best.

"Time flies so fast, you just entered the Yang family last year, you just became my apprentice, and this year you are already a celebrity in the entire Yang family, and the changes are really fast. The master who chopped wood sighed, his eyes couldn't help but tremble, and he recalled the bits and pieces that had happened in the past year......

From the lack of spring and autumn to the cold winter of summer, there have been too many things that have happened in the past year, witnessing the growth process of Xiaolian, and also witnessing the change of the workers in the boiler room to Xiaolian's ideological and subjective consciousness.

At this moment, the master who chopped wood stopped moving forward, turned his head to look at Xiao Lian, and also looked up and down, as if he was looking at a little boy who was already able to take charge on his own, standing in front of him, his expression was still that innocent and kind, but his heart was already mature.

Yes, in this year, Xiaolian is not afraid of the preaching of the workers in the boiler room, nor is he afraid of pain, and he is not afraid of suffering, as if he has a heart that is extremely different from his age at this moment.

That's a sign of maturity, and it's also a sign of not being afraid of wind and rain.

Now Xiaolian is already the right-hand man of the master who chops wood, and he is also the diligent little expert of the people under the boiler room.

Although in many ways, Xiao Lian also behaves like a child, but this does not affect Xiao Lian's image in the heart of the master who chops wood.

Yes!

Tears overflowed inexplicably from the corners of the eyes of the master who chopped wood, and he also recalled those bitter points, and he would unconsciously laugh from his heart.

"Master, are you crying?" Xiao Lian didn't understand, he only knew that at this moment, the corner of the master chopping wood was overflowing with crystal clear tears, which for him, was the expression of 'crying'.

This is also what I learned from the workers in the boiler room after coming to Yang's house.

"Huh?!"

The master who chopped wood was a little overwhelmed by Xiao Lian's words, "Silly apprentice, it's not crying for the teacher, it's happy for the teacher." She patted him on the back of the head as well.

"You're already in tears, don't cry, are you still happy?" Xiao Lian muttered in a low voice, looking at the old master who was chopping wood with a blank face, and he was also confused for a while.

"Haha~"

The master who chopped wood also smiled, "The weather is not early, so let's go back and rest early! As if I saw the expression on Xiao Lian's face, I didn't know whether to laugh at him for not understanding, or at him for being too innocent?

"Hmm, the old master speaks a little strangely today, and he always doesn't understand!" Xiao Lian tapped his little mouth with his finger, and even the expression on his face became more confused.

However, then I heard the voice of the master who was chopping wood, and I also responded: "Here, master." "Maybe the master who chops wood is right, and he will naturally understand it in the future.

After that, Xiao Lian locked the door of the boiler room with the master who cut wood, and also added a simple taboo to the door.

Although Xiao Lian didn't know what he was doing every time he saw the master chopping wood gesturing at the door of the room, he wouldn't ask, knowing that the master who was chopping wood would tell him one day, so he didn't plan to ask.

It's just that every time Xiao Lian also stood aside, looking at the action of the master chopping wood, which made him feel bored, and he fell asleep for a while.

In fact, Xiao Lian did not ask about the master who cut wood, from the first day when he came to Yang's house, he simply asked, but the master who cut wood replied with a smile;

Later, you'll know.

Since then, Xiao Lian didn't know what the master of chopping wood said, but he never asked again, even if he asked a few times, the answer of the master who chopped wood would always be only what to say.

"Alright. ”

After the master who chopped wood saw that the taboo on the door of the room was arranged, he simply clapped his hands, and then looked at Xiao Lian on the side, "Xiao Lian, if you are sleepy, you don't have to wait for the teacher, you can leave first." ”

Seeing the expression on Xiao Lian's face, he clearly knew that he was sleepy.

Although this has been said no less than a hundred times, Xiao Lian's answer is every time;

It's okay master, I'm not sleepy.

In this way, it is also in the eyes and hurts in the heart!

The master who chopped wood also shook his head helplessly, 'Hey~' let out a long sigh, raised his hand and touched Xiao Lian's head, with a helpless smile in his expression, "Xiao Lian, go home." ”

"Okay, master. Hearing the old master's voice, the small company commander stretched his waist, yawned, and followed behind the master who was chopping wood.

And the master who chopped the wood also glanced around, and then left.

The dim moonlight was extremely gloomy, revealing a hint of blood from time to time.

Up and down the Yang family's mansion, tonight is also destined to be an extremely unpeaceful night......

Even the previous master, as well as the little brother who delivered the medicine from the material pharmacy, were assassinated to death on the way back, and there was no trace of a fight left at the scene, as if it was like a sword piercing the roar, cutting the blood vessels in the neck of the human body, and the knife was fatal.

Not only the entire Yang family, but also the entire Demon Capital City, there were also assassinations of ordinary people in many places.

For a while, the entire Demon Capital City will also fall into a panic......

The next morning

When the Emperor of the Demon City heard about this, he was furious, and immediately issued a city-wide ban to thoroughly investigate the matter until it was found out who did this!

As a result, the ministers of the DPRK and China were very coke ovens for this, and they all talked about the killing of the city.

And this matter, so far, there is no progress.

......

The Yang family's mansion

Yang Zhenqiang also didn't sleep all night, but he was troubled by some troubles last night, which caused him to stay awake all night, and the circles in his eyes doubled.

In the morning, before dawn, they practiced spears in the courtyard, and the people who passed by also bowed their heads and greeted the master.

The rain and dew in the early morning are especially sweet, and the morning air is especially fragrant.

The people of the Yang family also began to get busy.

As for what happened last night, no one knows, and no one cares.

Soon, after breakfast, Yang Zhenqiang also packed up and prepared to set off to the top of Wumen Tianshan Mountain to fight the enemy to the death.

But he never thought that as soon as he walked to the door, before he stepped out of the gate of the Yang family, an old man blocked his way.

"Hello old man, is there anything wrong with you? if it's okay, I'm going to rush to save my wife and children now. Yang Zhenqiang held the red tassel gun, looked at the old man blocking the road in front of him with a puzzled expression, and he didn't come up with anything after thinking about it for a long time.

But on the other hand, if you don't rush to the top of the Wumen Tianshan Mountain to rescue your wife and children at this moment, if the other party does something reckless to your wife and children, then your own sin will be great.

At this time, Yang Zhenqiang's heart was also very anxious, he didn't dare to imagine what the other party would do to his wife and children, and he didn't dare to continue to imagine.

"You go yours, why do you care about me?" the old man said lightly and lightly about a matter that did not matter, and the dust in his hand was also deliberately played with by him.

The breeze blew gently, and the 'rustling~' also brought up a few fallen leaves, and the atmosphere on the whole field was extremely embarrassing.

Hearing what the old man said, Yang Zhenqiang planned to disturb the old man, but in the next second, the old man hit him with floating dust lightly, which made him retreat back again and again.

Seeing Yang Zhenqiang retreating, the old man put away the floating dust in his hand again, "Aren't you going to save your wife and children? I gave you the way, why don't you go?" He glanced at the other party, his eyes a little more light.

“......”

Yang Zhenqiang was also extremely speechless, he looked at the dust in the old man's hand, and recalled the scene when the old man knocked down the dust in his hand, which also made him feel a little afraid.

Who is this old man?

Why did the understatement just now make me feel so uneasy, as if death was peeping at me, and it was possible to take me away in the next second.
