The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed Sixiang Town a piece of gold, in this piece of gold, Master Zhang turned his head to look at the little boy with tears on his face, thinking of the snake that Keji put into the bed, and his heart suddenly felt a wave of disgust. He turned around, forced himself to calm down, and shouted, "Come, bring this bastard, bring it back." He pointed to Keji, who was in tears, and then, with his hands behind his back, barely holding back his trembling legs, he pretended to be calm, and walked back surrounded by many servants.

When he returned to his room, Master Zhang looked at no one around, and suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and he was paralyzed all of a sudden. "Bang bang bang!" A few crisp knocks on the door suddenly remembered, Master Zhang's heart trembled, and he said later, "Who?" "Master, it's me, Zhuang Lie." A voice rang out outside the door.

Zhuang Lie is the first person among the martial artists under him, he is very skilled, and he is extremely loyal, so Master Zhang also regards him as a confidant, and he usually sends Zhuang Lie to complete things that are inconvenient for him. Zhuang Lie entered the room, and when Master Zhang looked up, he saw that Zhuang Lie's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his arms were still tied with white bandages, and blood was faintly oozing. Seeing him like this, Master Zhang couldn't help but whisper, "Go back to the treasury and get five taels of silver, and you can rest well in the next few days." ”

Zhuang Lie thanked him, and seeing that Master Zhang's face was gloomy, he understood in his heart, and took a few steps forward, "Master, are we just going to forget it?" Master Zhang squinted, "If you can't beat others, what else can you do?" The sick man, the murderous aura is very heavy, in his eyes, he doesn't seem to put a few lives in his eyes, this person is okay, although fierce, but after all, there is only one person, there are so many of us, but we are not afraid, but there is another person, can put down all of you in a few breaths, this kind of character, have you heard of it? ”

Zhuang Lie replied resignedly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Master, no matter how powerful they are, aren't they also folded under the master's hands." Since they have gone up that mountain, it must have been the result of going and not returning. When Master Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and glanced at Zhuang Lie, "If you don't eat the toast, then you will eat the penalty wine, in these four towns, there is no one who dares to give the old man such a face." ”

Zhuang Lie replied repeatedly, "Yes, the lord is one of the best people in our four townships, and if the emperor is here, he has to give the lord some face." But......" he said hesitantly, "what if they come back?" Master Zhang got up, stretched out his hand and struck Zhuang Lie on the head with a thunderbolt, "When have you ever seen someone come down from that mountain alive?" Zhuang Lie covered his head and hummed, "Master, master, villain, villain just said just in case, just in case." ”

"What if, what if!" Master Zhang was obviously very angry, and he walked around the room angrily, "Even if there is really a case, what fool do you think will exchange the five hundred years of He Shou Wu for the life of a slave?" Do you think those two look like idiots, or are you an idiot? "The five-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu is worth no less than 5,000 gold. And a slave like Keji, who doesn't have much strength, can only do some light chores when he buys it back, especially in the mixed area of Sixiang Town, a slave is only a few dozen taels of silver, and a thin person like Keji can give ten taels of silver, and the seller is already happy.

Zhuang Lienuo answered, and after a while, he hated and said unfairly, "But master, although I said so, the tone in my subordinates' hearts was really aggrieved." In these four towns, we are all walking sideways, when have we been so pressed by others, there is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, those two are really hateful. Master Zhang raised his eyebrows and responded, "It's not like this in my heart, it's just that those two people are no different from dead people, and this breath can only be swallowed." ”

Zhuang Lie responded, took a few steps forward, and said softly, "Master, although those two people are gone, but Keji, it's not still in our hands, in the final analysis, he is the ultimate source, if it weren't for him, how could he attract those two." Master Zhang's eyes flickered, and after a few breaths, he said, "Zhuang Lie, what do you want to do?" Zhuang Lie held his breath and said, "Master, Ke Ji that kid, it is really unforgivable to dare to offend you like this, we should also make an example of a hundred people, and show other subordinates well, no one can afford the consequences of daring to offend the master." Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Lie reached into his arms and took out a bag of things, "Master, I have a pack of snakes and scorpions, when the poison is poisoned, the poisoned person is like being stung by a snake and scorpion, and he is in pain, but he cannot die for a while, and after seven days, he will not die until his internal organs rot and die." ”

Master Zhang was silent, for a long time, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his fat face, and he only heard him say softly, "Master, I have always been kind to people, and I really couldn't do this before, but what you said is right, if you don't stand up, there will be more and more people who dare not do things well in the future." Hands and feet ......" became louder and lower, until it was inaudible.

Keji was brought back, and was still in a small, dark, dirty, and smelly room, which had no sunlight all year round and was rarely cleaned, so that there was a musty smell everywhere. He fumbled, swept out an open space with his sleeves, and sat down. It's just that he doesn't dislike this place at all, "One more day, one more day, another day, I can leave here, and I don't have to suffer anymore." Keji thought stupidly, and didn't know how long it took, he fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up again, the sky was already bright, and he had a long rise to a lazy waist, and suddenly he was stunned, I don't know how long it had been, and he hadn't slept until dawn.

In the past, every day before dawn, he was called up to work, and he kept working until the time of the lamp at night, when the old man Zhang was mean, he only gave two porridges a day, almost every day, Keji went to bed hungry and woke up hungry.

Until one day, because Keji was tired and hungry, he accidentally knocked over Master Zhang's tea bowl, Master Zhang was furious, called Zhuang Lie and a few people, and put himself into the kennel, in which there were dozens of half-human-high wolf dogs, each of which had a long tongue and extremely sharp teeth. It wasn't until three days later that Koji was released from the kennel, and by that time he was covered in bruises, with signs of dog bites all over his body, and even more bones on his legs and stomach.

Soon after, the people who cleaned the kennel found that there were some wounds scattered all over the bodies of dozens of big wolf dogs in the kennel, and these wounds were all crescent-shaped, faintly, which seemed to be the tooth marks of a certain type of animal.

Later, the next person who cleaned the room for Mr. Zhang, suddenly fell ill, and the manager temporarily sent Keji over to clean the room for Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang went back to the room to sleep without drinking at night, and as soon as he pulled the quilt, suddenly a small turquoise snake ejected up, and rushed to the door of Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang was frightened, his feet were soft, and he was able to avoid this little snake, and then called people again and again, Zhuang Lie and others swarmed in, all kinds of swords, axes, tables, chairs and benches, all smashed to the little snake, the little snake, Naturally, it was chopped into mud and dust, and Master Zhang wiped the cold sweat on his face, and suddenly there was a kind of horror of thorns in his back.

He was angry and said in a cold voice, "Take Keji to the street for me, and I will let them know in front of everyone that I will betray me!" "Squeak!" With a bang, the door suddenly opened, and the light that came immediately shot Keji couldn't open his eyes, and then a voice sounded, "Keji, after today, they will come to pick you up, my lord is merciful, I have been doing things here for so long, and I specially gave you a good meal today." Then the man put down his meal and left. Ke Ji was stunned, he hadn't eaten it for a day and a night, he turned his head and looked, and the plates of food seemed to be very fragrant and delicious.

The golden black fell in the west, the jade rabbit rose in the east, and the towns of Sixiang were already brightly lit, and among the largest mansions in the towns of Sixiang, the big red lanterns raised their flags high, exuding a hazy brilliance. Master Zhang sat on the Taishi's chair, picked his teeth, looked at Keji who was kneeling at the bottom and smiled, "Keji, you see it's so late, do you still expect them to take you?" Let me tell you, in this world, there is no good thing for no reason, and there will be no good people for no reason, everything that is good for you must have other purposes. ”

He sneered, "Besides, you think that anyone can go up the mountain behind our four towns?" Two outsiders who don't know the so-called don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, and dare to go up the mountain in such a stunned way, hum! Old Man Zhang's fat face shook and shook, and he drew a mockery, "Just look at it, these two people, no matter how strong their martial arts are, as long as they go up the mountain, they won't be able to come down." ”

Ke Ji had been keeping his head down, Huo Ran raised his head, stared straight at Master Zhang, his eyes were cold, Master Zhang glanced at Ke Ji, and said disdainfully, "You still don't believe it, have you heard of anyone who can go up the mountain and come down?" I tell you, no! Not a single one! When Keji heard this, his eyes seemed to be out of breath, his eyelids slowly drooped, and his head, which had been held high, slowly lowered.

Master Zhang looked up to the sky and laughed, in the laughter, there seemed to be indescribable comfort, after a while, he stopped laughing, "Keji, you are really bold, you dare to ...... Hum! Master Zhang seemed to think of the turquoise in the futon again, his face turned red, and he scolded loudly, "Little rabbit cub, come on, drag me out, and beat me to death!" ”

Zhuang Lie took the lead in responding, grabbed Keji's thin shoulders, like an eagle catching a chicken, lifted Keji's whole person up, and with a force on his hand, Keji was still at the door. Koji closed his eyes, waiting for the dense rain of sticks and fists that followed. It's just that his body sank, and he didn't hit the imaginary wall alive on the ground, but was held up by a soft thing. He couldn't help but open his eyes, and what caught him was the pale and thin young man from yesterday.

The young man helped Keji up and smiled, "Your name is Keji, right?" Sorry Keji, I'm a little late. Koji's eyes widened, and suddenly, tears fell from her eyes. Ye Jianan stood up, turned to face the shocked Master Zhang, "Master Zhang, right," he threw the thing in his hand casually, and it was still in Master Zhang's arms, poor that Master Zhang, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and a black thing came to his face, he screamed, and hit it casually, but it was empty, and the thing was falling into his arms. His hand shook and he was about to throw it away, but suddenly he heard Ye Jianan's lazy voice sound, "Five hundred years of He Shou Wu." He trembled in his heart, but the reaction was fast, his legs knelt down, his hands picked up the placket, and immediately put the thing that was about to fall on the ground, in the placket, when he looked down, he saw that the thing was about a foot long, russet, shaped like a mallet, the surface was uneven, the rhizome was complete, and at a glance he Shou Wu knew that it was the vintage of He Shou Wu.

Master Zhang carefully held this He Shou Wu, and under the candlelight, he looked at it carefully over and over again, Ye Jianan couldn't help but say loudly, "Are you optimistic?" Master Zhang hesitated, "There is no doubt that this is He Shou Wu, but how do I know that this is a 500-year-old vintage?" ”

Ye Jianan, who was a little impatient standing on the side, pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "The nouveau riche, I don't even understand this, He Shou Wu is the elixir of the world, every hundred years, a pale golden stripe will be born, if you don't believe it, you can ask the doctor to take a look." "Master Zhang heard the words and took a closer look, and found that there were five pale golden horizontal stripes on He Shou Wu, and next to the five pale golden horizontal stripes, there was a faint slight horizontal stripe. He was so happy in his heart that he rubbed it carefully in his hand.

I only heard Ye Jianan say impatiently, "Master Zhang, since you got He Shouwu, then we will take Keji and leave." Master Zhang waved his hand, still fiddling with He Shou Wu in his hand. The disdain on Ye Jianan's pale face became even more intense, he didn't look at it, turned to Keji's side, and held Keji's hand, "Let's go, get out of here." When he got out of the door, Ye Jianan looked back at Keji and said, "It's getting late, at this time, it's the most suitable time to drink wine and eat meat, by the way, have you ever drunk?" ”

Ye Jianan took Ke Ji to find an inn casually, Ye Jianan almost didn't eat for a day and a night, and immediately beckoned the shopkeeper to serve a table full of dishes, Ye Jianan pulled Ke Ji to his side, "Sit on my side, come, Ke Ji, eat this, it's fragrant." As he spoke, he reached out and took a bowl of pig's trotters and placed it in front of Keji.

Keji stared at the bowl of fragrant pig's trotters in front of him, and without saying a word, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the pig's trotters in front of him, held it to his mouth, and bit it like a wolf, regardless of the greasy juice flowing down the corners of his mouth to the placket. Ye Jianan gently patted his back with one hand and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly." The two finished eating the dishes on the table like a storm, and Ye Jianan said with a smile, "I can't see that although Keji is small, he has a big belly and can hold so many things." Keji looked at the pile of bones on his desk, seemed a little embarrassed, and shrank back, and his head gradually drooped.

Ye Jianan's heart suddenly suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "A manly man, you must be able to bend and stretch, you must be full of food, and when you are full, you will have the strength to beat the people who bully you one by one, but have you ever fought?" Ke Ji raised his head and looked at Ye Jianan's pale cheeks, his dark eyes were like stars in the night sky, and he nodded heavily. Ye Jianan laughed, "Wait a few days, I'll teach you to fight, you know, I'm very good at fighting, ...... before"

Ye Jianan paused, remembering what happened before, he scratched his hair and changed the topic without a trace, "By the way, Keji, where are you from?" ”。 I saw Ke Ji looking at Ye Jianan and shaking his head. "Do you remember your parents?" Ye Jianan continued to ask. I saw Ke Ji nodding slightly, the two looked at each other, and Ye Jianan asked, "Then do you want to go home?" Keji nodded. Ye Jianan asked again, "Then do you know how to go back?" I saw that Keji was silent for a long time, neither nodding nor shaking his head, and after a long while, he shook his head.

Ye Jianan felt a big headache, this Keji couldn't speak, and he didn't know where he was from, just remembering his father and mother, this person was vast, but where could he look for it. Suddenly, Ye Jianan felt that his sleeves were sinking, and when he turned his head, he saw Keji kneeling in front of him, pulling his sleeves with both hands. Seeing Ye Jianan looking at him, he turned to Ye Jianan, "Knock knock!" He kowtowed.

Ye Jianan was startled, and hurriedly helped Ke Ji up, but saw that Ke Ji's forehead had broken the skin, and there was faint blood flowing out. He hurriedly took out a bottle of gold creation medicine from his bosom and applied it to Keji on the wound on his forehead. Ye Jianan said softly, "Keji, there is no need to be like this, even if we see other people, we will save them." It's not early, so it's better to rest early. He turned his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, open a room." ”

The two entered the room, Ye Jianan put himself on the bed, and said comfortably, "It's so comfortable, I haven't slept comfortably for several months." Keji silently walked to the corner of the room, and Kazui was about to sleep, but Zhenyan hurriedly grabbed Keji, "How do you sleep underground?" Seeing this, Ye Jianan also got up and walked over, pulling Keji to sit on the bed, "Today, you will sleep here." Keji struggled to stand up, but was firmly pressed on the bed by Ye Jianan and couldn't stand up.
