24: Murder pays for life, debts are repaid

There was still a corner of the moon left, hanging from the treetops. The starry sky has disappeared without a trace. In the eastern sky, a touch of fish belly white is faintly revealed. As soon as you see it, you know that the long night is over, and the sky is about to dawn.

In the courtyard of the Lejia mansion, a little dew is condensed on the bluestone slabs paved on the ground.

Cheng Li walked barefoot through the courtyard, and the feeling of stepping on the cold dew made him get rid of the last trace of sleepiness.

This small courtyard is just one of the corners of the Lejia mansion, which is specially used to entertain guests. The place is not big, but it is very nicely furnished. Around the courtyard and on the walls, there are many flowers and plants.

The faint floral fragrance blows with the breeze and blows to the face. Take a deep breath and it will be refreshing.

Cheng Li, who had already finished washing, put on his boots in the corner of the wall, and then swept up the wall and looked at it. Immediately, I suddenly found that the city of Hangzhou was more beautiful in the early morning than at dusk.

What about West Lake? How beautiful should the West Lake be in the early hours of the morning?

As soon as a thought came to him, Cheng Li did not hesitate. He got dressed and didn't lead the horse, just walked over the wall and walked all the way out of the Le family mansion.

It didn't take long for Cheng Li to come to the shore of West Lake again. He walked slowly along the road beside the lakeshore, admiring the fresh and intoxicating scenery of the lake and mountains as he went.

Suddenly, I only heard the sound of "Nai~" splashing, and in the depths of the willow shade by the lake, a small boat came out in response. At the stern of the boat is a young girl with a paddle and a shawl with long hair. He wears a pale green shirt and has a jade hosta stuck in his hair. It seems to be Xie Xiaoqing.

Xie Xiaoqing drove the boat to the shore, smiled and shouted, "This guest officer, have you eaten breakfast?" The custodian is satisfied. ”

Cheng Li was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay." I really didn't eat breakfast. What's that snack on board?"

Xie Xiaoqing deliberately straightened his face and said, "There are two kinds of dim sum. One is plate knife noodles and the other is wontons. What do you want?"

Cheng Li also straightened his face and said, "I don't want either of them, and now I want to eat xiaolongbao." ”

Xie Xiaoqingqi said: "But there are no xiaolongbao here." ”

Cheng Li couldn't hold it back any longer, laughed loudly and jumped into the boat, reached out and pinched Xie Xiaoqing's face, and said, "Why not?

Xie Xiaoqing stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Oh, people are not coming." Little brother, you are so bad, you actually laugh at other people's faces for being xiaolongbaozi. ”

Cheng Li burst into laughter again. asked, "Xiaoqing, why are you here? ”

Xie Xiaoqing said with a smile: "If I say that we have a soul in our hearts, and we all want to go together, I want to come to see the West Lake at this time, little brother, do you believe it?"

Cheng Li said: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you're already here anyway." By the way, you don't really have pandao noodles and wontons on this boat, right? Then let's go to the small hotel yesterday and have an early meal first. ”

Xie Xiaoqing agreed, rocked the boat, gradually left the shore, and headed towards the small restaurant located near the broken bridge yesterday.

Boating on the West Lake, the lake and mountains are beautiful. Cheng Li is relaxed and happy, and his mind is open.

But at this moment, a very spicy shout sounded like thunder, breaking the tranquility of the early morning in West Lake.

"Found it! It's him! It's the two of them!"

Cheng Li frowned, withdrew his gaze to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and followed the sound. It was discovered that a whole seven or eight Barracuda speedboats were being outflanked by the water from all directions. On each ship, there were six or seven strong men with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and tangled muscles.

The wind blows the lake, and the speedboat rises and falls, but these big men are like nails, firmly nailed to the bow of the boat, and do not move at all. It can be seen that they are all people in the martial arts, and they have practiced kung fu very well.

Xie Xiaoqing also saw these people. She was slightly taken aback, and she was about to avoid it in the boat. But in an instant, two speedboats approached first. Several big men on the boat raised their hands at the same time to throw out the thick hemp rope with iron hooks, and hooked the dinghy at once. Suddenly, Xiaozhou was like a flying insect that fell into a spider's web, unable to move again.

Immediately afterwards, several other speedboats also approached, and in the same way, they threw out their iron hooks and hooked the boat. A man with a particularly tall and strong body, full of muscles, and two strange tumors on top of his head, and another man with a horse's face, jumped into the boat.

The two of them shouted in unison, "What a pair of dog men and women, I finally found you." Go back with us immediately to confess the guilt!" Needless to say, they each made a move, and they grabbed Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing.

Cheng Li frowned and waved his hand. Although he didn't use the "Jizo Tribulation", with his strong physical fitness that was infinitely close to the third awakening, even if he just raised his hand casually, he still had a strength of several hundred catties. Although the martial arts of these two great men are not bad, how can they resist them?

In an instant of snapping their fingers, the two big men felt the strong wind blowing on their faces, and the skin was painful. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly returned their arms to parry. "Bang~" After a muffled sound, the two big men couldn't help themselves, and fell sharply backwards at the same time.

If it's on flat ground, it doesn't hurt. At most, it hurts to fall in the ass. But now they're on each other's boats. How much room for maneuver can a small boat have? These two people stepped on the air in one step, and when they boarded, they "ordinary~" fell into the water of West Lake.

The big men on the other speedboats saw the two leaders fall into the water, and they all screamed one after another. Half of them jumped into the water to save people without thinking. The other half subconsciously reached out to their waists, felt out the sharp hand axes with flashing essences, and approached Cheng Li and Xie Xiaoqing menacingly. He kept shouting and scolding, but no one dared to step forward seriously.

The water of West Lake is actually not too deep. In a matter of moments, the two big men who had fallen into the water had been rescued. There were no injuries on his body, but his clothes and hair were soaked, and he was dripping with water, which made him look very embarrassed.

The horse-faced man seems to have a great temper. After suffering such a big loss, he did not restrain himself at all, but became more and more angry, and roared: "You two dog men and women, how dare you still commit murder?

Cheng Li snorted softly, his eyes calm. Xie Xiaoqing hurriedly grabbed him, smiled at the big men of the Thunderbolt Hall, and said, "Uncles, what are you doing here? We are ordinary people who have always abided by the law. How dare you offend you martial arts people. Are you looking for the wrong person?"

The big man with two tumors on his head shouted, "That's not wrong at all. I'm looking for you two dogs and men! I've killed six brothers in our family, including the third, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth! If we don't look for you, who else can we look for?"

Xie Xiaoqing was stunned and said, "What are you eighty or ninety? By the way, who are you?"

The horse-faced man sneered: "Still pretending to be stupid? We are all members of the Lei family. I am the seventh Lei Wu of the Lei family, and he is the second brother Lei Chou. ”

Xie Xiaoqing snorted and said in surprise: "You are Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall?"

The big man with the tumor on his head gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, we are all from Thunderbolt Hall." Hmph, you dogs and men, dare to say that you haven't seen our family's third Lei Yin yesterday, the eighth Lei Wei, the ninth Lei Shen, the tenth Lei You, the eleventh Lei Xu, and the twelfth Lei Hai?
