Chapter VII

On the day when Lingzhi went out with Shengchang and others, Fang Min found a free time, and quietly came to the "Sifang Well" lane, the familiar lane, the slippery bluestone slab, the blue tile and white wall presented in front of him, Fang Min walked slowly all the way, on the side of the "Sifang Well" platform, still surrounded by laundry, washing vegetables, carrying water, rubbing ice powder, and people enjoying the coolness, everyone chatted while doing it, and left after washing things, and then came another batch, so the well platform became a place for everyone to exchange gossip news, all kinds of voices mixed together, lively and noisy, Fang Min approached an old laundry woman, helped her pour a bucket full of water into the laundry basin, and then squatted down and chatted with her:

"Auntie, do you know a family surnamed Fang that once lived in this alley?" Fang Min asked.

"Oh, that was a long time ago, I wonder what happened to his house? All the people were killed, and it was cruel to see. The old woman said as she washed.

"In the past, there was a lot of trouble in this lane, and the yin qi was too heavy, so I didn't dare to go out at night." Another woman who was washing vegetables leaned over and said.

"And then?" Fang Min asked.

"Later, this surnamed Fu came, and he lived in it without fear of heaven and earth, and married a few aunts and wives to live a better life." The old woman in the laundry said.

"How can this surnamed Fu live in?" Fang Min asked puzzled.

"If you have money, use the money to buy off the squire, and then remove the seal." The woman washing the vegetables said.

"What's the origin of this surname?" Fang Min asked.

"Judging from his face, he is definitely not from our ancient city, but he is very rich, and the government has something to do with him." The old woman in the laundry said.

"I heard that he also took over some of the Fang family's business." The woman who washed the vegetables continued.

Fang Min was about to continue inquiring, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching, turned his head to look, and saw Fu Guards walking by the well with two mercenaries, and walked straight towards the alleyway. I haven't seen him for many years, this guard has been a little blessed, took off his military uniform, put on a long shirt, and with the treacherous of a businessman on his face, when he passed by the side of the "Sifang Well", he looked at a group of busy people, frowned, turned his face and walked straight home. Fang Min lowered his head and gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, watching the Fu guards walk by, and the old woman gently reminded him that this was the surname Fu, and he was not even afraid of ghosts, everyone couldn't afford to mess with them, and generally saw the Fu guards hiding away. Seeing the guards walking away, Fang Min chatted with the two women for a while before slowly leaving the "Sifang Well".

Fang Min never expected that his own enemy, Fu Guard, would live in the old mansion in a grand manner, it was really an old revenge that had not been avenged and a new hatred had been added, and at this time, he couldn't wait to cut the Fu Guards with a thousand knives to solve the hatred in his heart. What Fang Min didn't expect was that Lingzhi was involved with Fu Guard's nephew, if he hadn't taken Lingzhi away in time that night, Lingzhi would have entered the old mansion, and he didn't know what kind of harm he would have suffered.

After Fang Min returned home, he took out a pistol from the bottom of the box, and while wiping and trying, he planned how to find Fu Guard's revenge, and when he heard Lingzhi push the door back, he quickly put the gun back away, and then came out to see Lingzhi, only to see her walking upstairs depressed, Fang Min followed her upstairs.

"What's wrong? Not having fun? Fang Min asked tentatively.

"Sheng Chang is leaving, uncle, I haven't figured it out yet, how can Sheng Chang's family live in our old house?" Lingzhi asked with a frown.

"Sooner or later, Lingzhi, don't think about it yet, and I'll tell you when I figure it out." Fang Min said.

"Uncle, I always feel that the Shengchang family has an enmity with our family? But I don't think Shengchang is that kind of person? Lingzhi blurted out, which surprised Fang Min.

"Sheng Chang is not like that kind of harm, but his family is difficult to say. Ganoderma lucidum, no matter what you encounter in the future, you must be brave and strong, and living is more important than anything else. Fang Min said earnestly.

Lingzhi walked to the window as if she didn't understand, supported her forehead with her hand and looked at the river, and fell into contemplation for a while, Fang Min saw this, and told her to be tired after a day of playing, rest early, and then go out of the room and go downstairs.

Lingzhi only felt that there were many doubts in her heart, according to her heart, she had a good impression of Shengchang in her heart, and Shengchang was also affectionate to herself, if it wasn't for the fact that she followed Shengchang to the "Sifang Well" that night, and her uncle suddenly ran out to stop it, there would be no more doubts. What kind of people is Shengchang's family? Why did you live in your old house? Why didn't Sheng Chang get along with his family and chose to leave? These questions have been lingering in Lingzhi's mind, and he can't figure out a clue, especially when he heard Shengchang say that he was leaving, he only felt that he was beating the drums in his heart, and he wanted to keep Shengchang from leaving, what reason did he have? If you don't keep it, how will you find out about his family situation in the future? The most important thing is that Sheng Chang is gone, I don't know if he will come back? How much affection he has in his heart, Lingzhi really wants to know from Sheng Chang, but can he ask him in person? Wouldn't you be laughed at?

Lingzhi had to admit that every time he saw Shengchang and Fengying together, when he saw them talking and like-minded, he would feel that he was a little lower, and his knowledge and knowledge were not as good as theirs, and he was envious in his heart, thinking that maybe Shengchang and Fengying were a good match, he was just a dressmaker, and his family background was too far apart, maybe Shengchang's affection for himself was just out of a man's protection of women, and he didn't go to his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have put aside this qiē and wanted to leave the ancient city. It seems that they are all too careful.

Thinking of this, Lingzhi couldn't help but shake his head, turned around and lowered the window, walked to the bed, put down the mosquito net, then took off his shoes, turned off the light, and went to sleep in the mosquito net.

For a few days, Shengchang didn't come to the cloth shop, Fengying couldn't go out of the house because of his mother's illness, Hong Shun was also busy preparing to go back to Shanghai School, and only came from time to time, Ganoderma lucidum and osmanthus were still busy in the store as before, Boss Hong dialed the abacus to count the payment, and the abacus beads made a crisp sound from time to time under the plucking of Boss Hong.

Sheng Chang quietly prepared his outfit in the room, he planned to tell Uncle Sù when he left, so as not to be interrogated by his uncle repeatedly, in fact, Sheng Chang knew that he was now dispensable in the eyes of his uncle, and he was no longer as close to each other as when he ran away and hid in the past, and he studied in Guangzhou School for many years, in addition to sending him money on time, his uncle did not ask too much, Sheng Chang was also happy to act according to his own wishes, without restraint, so I believe that when he left, his uncle would not care too much.

Sheng Chang sorted out his belongings, and suddenly remembered the stack of leaflets he had placed on the plaque at the gate of the house, and he left, these things could not be left here. Sheng Chang pushed open the window and looked around the courtyard, and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he walked out of the room, came to the gate, took out a bench from behind the door and put it in front of the door.

"What are you doing here?" The Fu guard looked Sheng Chang up and down and asked.

"No, I found that there seems to be a word on this plaque, so I'm curious and want to see what happened." Sheng Chang hurriedly stuffed the flyer back into it, and found this excuse to prevaricate.

"You kid is really bored and has nothing to do, and you're full. The school is about to start, you can also collect snacks and make some preparations for going back to the school as soon as possible. The guard said as he walked back to his room.

Seeing his uncle enter the house, Sheng Chang's hanging heart was relaxed, thinking about it, he still didn't take it for the time being, and then found a gap in the dead of night to take it.

Feng Ying's mother was lying at the head of the bed, her father sat in front of the bed and accompanied her, Feng Ying walked in with the freshly boiled medicine, her father stood up and got out of the way, Feng Ying sat on the edge of the bed, and said while blowing on the medicine bowl:

"Mother, drink it while it's hot."

"The medicine is too bitter." The mother frowned and said.

"I know you're afraid of hardship, no, I've prepared candied fruit for you." Fengying took out a bag of preserved fruits from her pocket and said.

"How can the medicine cure the disease if it is not bitter, the medicine that Fengying boiled himself, you can drink it." Daddy said, standing aside.

"Come, I'll feed you." Feng Ying picked up the medicine bowl in one hand and stirred the medicinal soup with a spoon in the other, and fed her mother while blowing.

The mother looked at Fengying, and then looked at the master, obediently drank it one sip at a time, Fengying wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, put down the medicine bowl, took out the candied fruit and fed it to her mother, and her mother ate the candied fruit and showed a gentle smile.

"If only you could be there for me every day." Mother said.

"You are really getting older and more confused, Fengying grows up, he will always get married, how can he keep it for the rest of his life." Daddy said.

"Don't marry too far when you marry, and you can come home from time to time to visit." Mother said.

"Look at you, here you are again, anxious to let me marry all day long." Fengying said with a frown.

"By the way, the last time the flower matchmaker gave you a blind date, I haven't seen you say, what the hell is going on?" The mother asked Feng Yingdao.

"It's okay. I don't know if people like me? Fengying stood up, picked up the medicine bowl and walked out, just wanting to avoid her mother's nagging.

"My daughter is so beautiful, and she has stayed in the ocean, how can anyone else be picky." The mother chased after her.

"Don't be too anxious, you've lost our family's proportion, take your time." Daddy persuaded his mother to say it himself.

"If Fengying doesn't have a family, she will definitely have to run out, a girl's family is away all day long, how worried I am, this time I finally came back, I can't let her go again." The mother nagged.

"When you're well, let's find a flower matchmaker to ask about the situation. You just drank the medicine, don't think about it, lie down and sleep first. Daddy said.

The mother lay down to rest with the support of her father, who put down the mosquito net for her and turned to walk out of the room. Fengying sat under the flower gallery in the courtyard, holding a fan in her hand, thinking about what her mother asked just now, she couldn't help but think of Shengchang, although she talked to Shengchang very well, but she always felt that Shengchang had no affection for herself, every time she quietly saw Shengchang looking at Lingzhi affectionately, she understood the reason, but she didn't want to break it, and only in this way could she get better in front of her father and mother, and save the trouble of blind date. And the last time I went to Tieshanxi to play, when I heard Sheng Chang say that he was going to leave the ancient city, I was surprised, and I didn't understand why Sheng Chang wanted to leave the ancient city and leave Lingzhi, and I always felt that Shengchang seemed to have something to hide.

After returning from Japan and staying in Guangzhou for a while, Fengying came into contact with the ideas of new women, and the lifestyles of new women such as Lin Huiyin, Lu Xiaoman, and Zhang Ailing made her change her view of life, and felt that women were no longer tools for marrying and having children when they grew up, but to have their own thoughts and live their own values. I only returned to the ancient city because I received a letter from home, and after staying for a while, except for having fun with Shengchang Lingzhi and them, the rest of the time was still the same, and what I was most afraid of was that my father and mother talked about blind dates, so when I heard that Shengchang was leaving, I didn't hesitate to leave with Shengchang.

Hong Shun didn't have anything to clean up, Mrs. Hong helped prepare properly, just thinking about bringing some ancient city specialties to relatives in Shanghai, what moldy tofu, peach blossom tempeh, aged dishes, Tianyin Gong tea, etc., Mrs. Hong asked Hong Shun to run all over the street to buy and separate the bags, and kept telling Hong Shun who the bags were given to and which relatives those bags were sent to.

"Mother, I know." Hong Shun said helplessly.

"This is the last time you will carry something, and when you come back from studying, you won't have a chance to go again, so the relatives over there have to take care of it." Mrs. Hung said.

"Lingzhi and Osmanthus both hope that when I come back, I will bring them more new tailoring books." Hong Shun blurted out.

"You've been playing together a lot during this time, do you have any snacks for Lingzhi?" Mrs. Hong asked.

"Mother, we are all five of us playing together, how can I confess to others?" Hong Shun said.

"Two men and three women, there is no zài to compete, I think Shengchang and that Fengying are very compatible, you choose Ganoderma lucidum or osmanthus, I have no opinion with your father." Mrs. Hong approached Hong Shun and said.

"Mother, you really miss your daughter-in-law and want to go crazy." Hong Shun said with a smile.

"Don't look for me outside, I'll just look at the Ganoderma lucidum and osmanthus flowers." Mrs. Hung said.

Hong Shun looked up helplessly and sighed, and then said that he was going to the store to have something to do, so he pulled out and walked out, Mrs. Hong knew that her son was avoiding her, so she had to shake her head.

Sheng Chang watched the servants take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, thinking about how to say goodbye to Lingzhi before leaving, especially in the face of Lingzhi, he is always difficult to leave, since he grew up, Shengchang has never touched the feelings of men and women, I didn't expect that since I met Lingzhi, I was deeply attracted to her, her smile, a coquettish and disgusted Sheng Chang couldn't help but want to protect her. But after thinking about it, if you stay in the ancient city for Lingzhi, and then start a family, it is just a small life of "one acre and three points of land", and the big deal will help your uncle do business, but this kind of life is not what you want, how can a manly husband sit at the door of the house and live a mediocre life. Shengchang yearns for the kind of blood-boiling days in Guangzhou, although it is bloody and bloody, always risking his life, but the kind of yearning and longing for a better life will always make people desperate to invest, as long as everyone works together, I believe that the status quo will be changed soon, if you sue sù Lingzhi this qiē, I believe she will understand, and when she goes to Guangzhou to stabilize dìng down, she will come to pick up Lingzhi in the past, and go to the beautiful new life together. Thinking of this, Sheng Chang only felt full of confidence and fullness. At this time, I saw my uncle Fu guard walking into the door with a domestic mercenary.

"A bunch of garbage, you can't do this thing." Fu Guard said angrily as he walked.

"It's too careless, I haven't encountered it before." The domestic mercenary followed the guard Fu and said.

"You go and inquire first, what is the origin, you have to find a way to pave this road, and then you can do things later." The Fu guard stopped, turned to the mercenary and said, the domestic mercenary nodded, turned around and ran out of the door.

The Fu guard lowered his head and thought to himself, but he didn't think that he was colliding with Shengchang head-on, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Shengchang, and said angrily:

"If you're idle all day, go and help me take care of the dart game."

"I won't go to your dart game, I'll be domineering all day long." Sheng Chang said as he turned and walked away.

"You kid, don't know what to do, I didn't do this qiē for you, these family properties will be enough for you to enjoy the next life in the future." Fu Guard said angrily.

"Keep it to yourself." Sheng Chang turned around and said.

"I think you're really stiff in your wings, don't come back if you have the ability." The Fu guard said loudly.

"I'm going to support myself, I won't live on you forever, and I don't want to live on you." Sheng Chang said.

"I really raised a white-eyed wolf, if it weren't for your father's sake, believe it or not, I would have beaten you." The Fu guard raised his fist and said.

"That's all you can do." After Sheng Chang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door.

Guarding Fu watched Sheng Chang walk out, took a hard breath, and turned around and walked into the living room.

Shengchang walked aimlessly on the street, was found by Hong Shun, who came out to buy things, Hong Shun saw Shengchang's listless appearance, so he came over and pulled him, Shengchang saw that it was Hong Shun, only to cheer up, the two of them talked while walking, and when they arrived at the head of the blessed bridge, they saw Fengying standing alone by the bridge in a daze, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to call her, and the three of them chatted together again, and then made an appointment to go to the cloth shop.

Lingzhi and Osmanthus were very happy to see the three of them coming together, and Osmanthus put down the work in their hands and said to them:

"No wonder I heard the cry of the joy sparrow in the morning, it turned out that you had made an appointment to come together."

"Seeing that you all seem to have something on your mind, what's wrong?" Lingzhi asked.

"It's nothing, maybe it's reluctant to separate, Shengchang is leaving tomorrow, I'll mention yì, let's give Shengchang a trip together today." Hong Shun said.

"I'll arrange it, let's go to the small restaurant at the Big River Inn." Osmanthus said.

Everyone unanimously agreed, after closing, the five people came to the small restaurant together, the restaurant owner and the shopkeeper saw that it was a few of them, and beckoned to take them through the aisle, and went straight to a table facing the river stone railing to sit down, the scenery here is very beautiful, the whole building complex of the Qinglong Cave can be seen at a glance across the river, especially the lotus pavilion located on the bank with a circular arc convex like a dragonfly standing at the turn of the river, the river flows to the lotus pavilion as if it was dumped by the style of the lotus pavilion, and involuntarily lowered its head and turned the corner to the east. The figure of the Qinglong Cave is clearly reflected on the river surface, and the buildings on the bank are reflected in pairs, the Zhusheng Bridge is still majestically across the river, and under the illumination of the setting sun, the "Kuixing Tower" shines brightly. Eating by the stone fence near the river is like being in a painting, and Shengchang's lonely mood has also begun to improve.

"How many are you? This is a newly repaired product from my house, and this is the first time I have used it today. The shopkeeper said.

"It's so beautiful, you don't have to eat here, you can be full just by looking at the scenery." Lingzhi said.

"Then we don't have to order food, just drink some tea." Fengying quipped.

"Alas, alas, we're here to eat, don't order, beware of the store coaxing us away, Xiao Er, don't you say?" Osmanthus said.

"A few young ladies joked, I saw a few of you chatting happily together last time, so I will arrange this elegant point for you today, so that you will not be disturbed by others. If you want to be trustworthy, you don't have to order the food yourself, I have arranged it for you, and the portion and the dishes will ensure that you are satisfied. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"That's fine, just don't forget to get us some wine, we're going to get drunk today." Hong Shun said.

"Yes, if you are drunk, you will not return." Sheng Chang said.

"Okay, you guys have some tea first." After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and walked into the house.

"Shengchang, last time I heard you say you were leaving, I didn't expect it to be so fast." Fengying asked.

"Well, I really don't want to see my uncle's face! Actually, I don't want to leave you, but if I stay any longer, my uncle will let me go to work in the dart game he opened. Sheng Chang said while secretly looking at Lingzhi.

"I want to leave too, but my mother has not been well when she is sick, so I have to stay for a while." Fengying said.

"My father and mother have prepared my bags, and I will leave in a few days." Hong Shun said.

"You've been walking, only me and Lingzhi are left, it's so boring, when will you come back?" Osmanthus said.

"I graduated and came back in half a year, and I won't be going anywhere." Hong Shun said.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a large tray, put all kinds of dishes on the table, put down a pot of wine, and then put the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses in front of everyone.

"You use it slowly, just greet me if you have something." The shopkeeper finished speaking and left.

Osmanthus poured wine for everyone one by one, and Hong Shun picked up the wine glass and said:

"Brother Shengchang, I admire you, you are a person who has the courage to do great things, compared to you, I am ashamed."

"Brother Hong Shun, don't say that, everyone has the freedom to choose their own way of life. Your choice is not the right one. Sheng Chang said as he clinked glasses with Hong Shun and drank the wine in the cup.

"I know my shortcomings, but it's hard to change, especially when my father and mother nag, I lose my backbone." Hong Shun sat down helplessly and said.

"I can't blame you either, you are your father's only son, and your father must want you to stay by your side." Lingzhi reassured.

"Each of us is different, so we can't all just walk like I said." Sheng Chang continued.

"After you leave, I may have to leave after a while, but I have to appease my father and mother first." Fengying said.

"Fengying, you don't know how much I admire you, a woman dares to wander outside, don't look at me as usually bold, but if I am allowed to walk out of the ancient city alone, I really don't have the guts." Osmanthus said with a smile.

"Sheng Chang is to pursue the dream in his heart, I am to pursue my own value, and Hong Shun is to fulfill my father's wish. The three of us all went out for different purposes. Fengying said.

"Shengchang, since ancient times, good men have ambitions in all directions, my father also left my mother like this, I grew up drifting with my uncle, and I heard my uncle say that my father is also a hero outside, so I respect you." Lingzhi raised his glass and said.

"After the three of us leave one after another, you and Osmanthus will take care of each other." Sheng Chang said.

"Don't worry, Lingzhi and I have long been sisters who have intersected in life and death." Osmanthus said.

"Fengying, I also toast you, you have brought me and Osmanthus a lot of novel ideas." Lingzhi said.

"When I get back, I'll bring you some new clothes." Fengying said.

"Then I don't need to bring Shanghai, and in the future, the store will add Guangzhou clothes styles, if Fengying goes to Japan, you might as well bring some Japanese styles." Hong Shun said.

"After you leave, don't forget about us, remember to come back to see us." Osmanthus said.

"Trust me, I'll be back. Let's make a decision today, and then we must get together again and drink together. Sheng Chang raised his glass and drank it all.

The five of them chatted while eating, and before they knew it, the shopkeeper lit candles for them, and lit the lanterns hanging in front of the window.

Sheng Chang drank too much, his head began to be a little groggy, and after a while he fell asleep on the table, Lingzhi sat down for a while, saw that Shengchang did not wake up, worried that he would catch a cold, Hong Shun pushed Shengchang, Shengchang woke up in a daze, so Hong Shun decided to send Shengchang home together, so that his uncle would not be unhappy and angry with him, so Hong Shun helped Shengchang to walk in front, Lingzhi three people walked behind, and five people walked towards the "Sifang Well" alley.

After Fang Min took stock of the He family's accounts in the afternoon, he returned home alone, and saw that Lingzhi had not come back, guessing that he was playing outside with Osmanthus and them again, so he made some food casually, and while eating, he remembered that he saw Fu Guards in the laneway of "Sifangjing", especially when he thought that Fu Guard's evil face actually lived in his old house, his heart was furious, and he didn't even want to eat.

Fang Min put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked into the back room and took out the hidden pistol, found the cloth and wiped it vigorously, thinking to himself, why not take advantage of the darkness at this time to go to the "Sifangjing" alley, the one named Shengchang must be with Lingzhi and them now, it is best not to let Lingzhi and them get involved, this opportunity is just to avoid at the moment, and he can also go alone to pay the guards, although he has not entered the old mansion for so many years, he is very familiar with the terrain inside, and he can seize the opportunity to shoot the result of this guard, Revenge for the family.

Thinking of this, Fang Min found two empty bottles in all directions, filled them with lamp oil, twisted the lid tightly, tied the bottles around his waist, and then loaded the bullet into a pistol, pinned it behind his waist, put a lighter in his pocket, picked up a black cloth towel to cover his face, and then quietly walked out of the house with a pair of ropes in his hand, and walked towards the "Sifang Well" laneway along the stone path by the river.

Fang Min came to the gate of the old house, looked around to see that there was no one, then threw the end of the rope with a hook to the door plaque, the rope was firmly hung, Fang Min tried carefully, and then a fitness along the rope climbed the door sign, just stood firm and listened to a swishing sound, only to see a stack of paper falling, scattered in front of the door, Fang Min held his breath and did not move, waited for a while and did not see any movement in the courtyard, jumped lightly, climbed into the courtyard wall, and hid along the root of the wall to observe the scene in the courtyard.

Recalling that more than ten years ago, Fang Min and his cousin Fang Xuan used to play in this courtyard, leaving their joyful laughter under the flower corridor and by the well platform, and the old lady always sat in the main hall and watched them chase after each other. I remember that once the two of them quietly stole a pack of gunpowder and came out, ready to hide and play with firecrackers, but they didn't expect to be discovered by the servant, so they buried the gunpowder under the flower gallery, and then killed and refused to admit it. Later, when the two grew up, they participated in the Northern Expedition together, and the family, men, women and children reluctantly sent them out of the door, who knew that this walk turned out to be a parting of life and death.

Fang Min thought of this, his heart was full of anger, although his cousin Fang Xuan should not have too much to do with the third aunt, but if it wasn't for this guard to get in the way and instigate the bad, Fang Xuan would not have been framed, he was also implicated, the whole family was buried in the sea of blood, he had to escape from the mountains, and lived incognito with Lingzhi, all the qiē he experienced was thanks to this guard! If this revenge is not avenged, how can you deal with the relatives under Jiuquan.

Fang Min saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he untied the two bottles full of lamp oil from his waist, opened the lid, and fell along the corner of the house to observe the movement.

I saw the Fu guard come out of the back room fiercely, followed by a servant, and the Fu guard asked the servant to go out to help him buy a bottle of wine and a few appetizers as he walked, and then sat on the Taishi chair in the main hall, holding a pu fan in his hand and fanning him coldly. As soon as the servant walked out of the gate, he saw the leaflets at the door, and hurriedly picked them all up and returned to hand them to the guards.

"Where did it come from?" The Fu guard asked in horror.

"I don't know, I picked it up at the gate." The servant replied cautiously.

"It's going to lose its head, go ahead and burn it all for me, and don't leave any traces." The guard told the servant.

The servant hurriedly walked towards the lower room with the leaflet, Fang Min saw that there was only one Fu guard in the main hall at this time, and God really helped him, so he got up and stood up and rushed into the main hall like a gust of wind, and pointed at the Fu guard with a pistol, Fu The guard was startled when he heard the movement, dropped the pu fan, and was about to pull out the gun on his waist, but Fang Min drank and said:

"Don't move, or I'll shoot."

"Who are you? Good man, if you have something to say, speak slowly," Fu said the guard in horror.

"I'm going to let you die today." Fang Min said as he ripped off the black cloth towel on his face.

"It's you! Hahaha, Fang Min, I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself. The guard Fu instantly changed from a frightened face to a smug face.

"There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and it is time for this account between us to be settled." Fang Min approached the guard step by step and said.

"Since I came to settle in the ancient city, I am not afraid that there will be such a day, even your house I dare to live in, what am I afraid of." Guard Fu said with a nonchalant expression.

"A wicked person like you, if he shoots you, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart." Fang Min gritted his teeth and said.

"I also know that my hands are stained with the blood of your family, and I can't wash them off in this life, come on, kill or chop whatever you want." The Fu guard spread his hands and said.

Fang Min pointed a gun at the Fu guard, and walked towards him step by step, at this time, Fang Min's mind came to mind the murder of his cousin Fang Xuan, the killing of his family, the escape from the mountains with Lingzhi, and the return to the ancient city incognito for a long time.

Fang Min walked to the Fu guard, pointed the gun at the head of the Fu guard, and was about to pull the trigger with all his strength, at this time the courtyard door was pushed open, Sheng Chang was supported by Hong Shun and walked in crookedly, Lingzhi, Osmanthus and Fengying followed behind them, Fang Min was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head to look at Lingzhi, the Fu guard took advantage of Fang Min's lack of attention, pushed away Fang Min's hand holding the gun with one palm, turned around and stood up from the Taishi's chair, and took out the gun on his waist and aimed it at Fang Min.

Hong Shun saw Fang Min, couldn't help but be taken aback, and then saw Fang Min and Fu guards both holding guns at each other, immediately stopped, Sheng Chang was awakened, and was also stunned by the admiration in front of him, Lingzhi who was walking behind saw Sheng Chang and Hong Shun stop at the same time, so he stepped forward, Lingzhi saw his uncle and Fu guards draw guns and confront, first startled, and then ran towards Fang Min, Sheng Chang woke up for a while, took off Hong Shun's hand, and quickly ran to Fu Guard, Hong Shun, Osmanthus, and Fengying were stunned at the same time, and stood far away in place.

"Uncle, why are you here? You're ......," Lingzhi exclaimed in horror.

"Lingzhi, this is the enemy who killed your father and our family, and my uncle wants to avenge our whole family." Fang Min gritted his teeth.

"What? Uncle, did you do this? Sheng Chang asked the Fu guard angrily.

"Yes, I did it. I think back then, Wu Dashuai's third aunt Taiyuan came to be good with me, but I didn't expect his cousin Fang Xuan to intervene, isn't it because she looks better than me and has more meritorious service than me? The third aunt never wanted to see me again. They were found out by me, I sued Wu Dashuai, and also took the scene to catch the rapist, hahaha, neither of them had a good result, and then Wu Dashuai sent me to kill your whole family, I fell in love with this mansion as soon as I came, although you Fang Min escaped by luck at that time, but I live here, I am not afraid that you will not come to me. The guard shouted viciously.

"Uncle, your hands are bloody, full of evil!" Sheng Chang shouted as he grabbed the hand of the guard with the gun.

"Sheng Chang, get out of the way, I'm going to kill him." Lingzhi shouted and moved Fang Min's hand holding the gun, pulled the trigger, Fu guards pushed Sheng Chang away, sideways dodge, only to hear a gunshot, the bullet hit the roof beams and pillars, Fu guards immediately shot at Lingzhi without hesitation, saying that it was too late and that was fast, Sheng Chang quickly ran over and stopped Lingzhi with his body, "horn" sounded, the bullet penetrated Shengchang's chest, Sheng Chang fell to the ground in response, and a stream of blood flowed out.

The sound of gunfire alarmed everyone in the courtyard, several aunts and wives ran out of the room with children and servants, seeing this scene, they were all stunned, standing in place and not daring to move, Hong Shun Guihua Fengying couldn't help but say, together they rushed towards Shengchang, Lingzhi saw Shengchang fall in a pool of blood, panicked for a while, his eyes were in a daze, his hands trembled, and the guards were extremely angry and pointed their guns at Ling again and said:

"You little girl dares to kill my nephew, you can bury him with him."

Fang Min quickly pushed away Lingzhi, Lingzhi couldn't help but fall to the side, Osmanthus saw it, and hurriedly rushed over to pull Lingzhi, but he didn't want to be shot by the guards, "Ah" fell on Lingzhi's body, Hong Shun and Fengying turned around to help Osmanthus, and a stream of blood on Osmanthus stained his clothes red.

"Osmanthus, osmanthus." Lingzhi got up from the ground, took the hand of the osmanthus flower, and kept calling.

Hong Shun and Feng Ying held Osmanthus and looked at Fu Guards angrily, Fu Guards saw that they had lost their hands twice and killed Sheng Chang and Osmanthus by mistake, and they were shocked, Fang Min couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his gun to aim at Fu Guards.

"You beast, you kill innocents indiscriminately, you shouldn't have lived in this world for a long time, I will send you to Hades and let you go to the eighteenth layer of hell." Fang Min was furious.

"Hahaha, I'm going to pull you on this back even if I die." The Fu guard said with a hideous face.

Everyone saw the two of them confronting each other with guns, they all held their breath in shock, they didn't dare to come out for a while, the courtyard was silent, and time seemed to stop, both of them were angry and angry, their eyes were burning with rage, looking directly at each other, Fang Min pulled the trigger, and shot at each other with the Fu guards, only to hear two gunshots, Fang Min and Fu guards both fell to the ground.

"Uncle, uncle." Lingzhi rushed over hoarsely, picked up Fang Min, and cried vigorously, Fang Min opened his eyes slightly, looked at Lingzhi and said:

"Lingzhi, our family's hateful uncle has avenged you, and our whole family can feel at ease under Jiuquan."

"I don't, uncle, I want you to live with me, Lingzhi can't live without uncle." Lingzhi said crying.

"Uncle can die in our old house today, and he is also with our family. This old house is the root of our family, and I can't let anyone else live in anything, and whoever dares to live in it will be coaxed out if he becomes a ghost. Fang Min said word by word, which surprised the few aunts, children, and servants who were standing on the side, and hurriedly retreated back to the room to collect their things, preparing to escape.

"Uncle Fang, let's take you to Lang Zhong." Hong Shun came over and helped Fang Min and said.

"Uncle Fang, I have medicine at home, come to my house." Fengying said.

"No need, I can't do it, uncle, please you, Lingzhi has suffered a lot in the past, and it was not easy to live a normal life, and now I can't take care of her, I hope you can help me take care of Lingzhi." Hurry up and get out of here, the people from the police station will come over in a while, and while I still have some strength, I will burn down this old mansion and sacrifice the souls of our family. Go away. Fang Min urged.

"Uncle, don't leave me." Lingzhi cried.

Hong Shun looked at this situation, so he had to open the Lingzhi with Fengying, only to see Fang Min immediately take out the lighter, and after hitting the fire hard, he threw it towards the corner of the house with all his strength, and instantly saw a fire quickly ignited from the corner of the eaves, scaring several aunts, children, and servants, and they all shouted and screamed, pulling each other and running towards the gate, and fled out of the old house in a panic.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, several rooms had fallen into a sea of fire, thick smoke was billowing, Fengying felt that he would not be able to escape if he didn't leave, so he desperately pulled Lingzhi with Hong Shun, no matter how unwilling Lingzhi was forced, Lingzhi carried the crying Lingzhi to the door, Lingzhi kept turning back and shouting, still being pulled out of the gate by Hong Shun and Fengying, and disappeared in the dark "Sifangjing" laneway, the fire in the courtyard was out of control, all the houses were burning, and the raging fire rose into the air. Smoke in the shape of mushroom clouds swirls into the sky, lighting up the night sky of the ancient city.
