A barren hill outside Puyang City.

A small bag of earth, freshly piled out of loess, stands on top of the mound, with a small wooden plaque on it, apparently a new tomb.

A young man knelt in front of the grave, dressed in linen, with red eyes and a sad expression, while beside him another man sat on the ground and sang softly.

"Do you say you have no clothes? Seven.

It's not as good as the clothes of the son, and it's auspicious?

How can you say that you have no clothes? Six.

It's not as good as the clothes of the son, safe and burning? ”

The melodious singing accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano echoed in the mountains and forests, filling the air with a faint sense of sadness.

After a long time, the sound of the piano and the singing slowly stopped, and the man who stroked the qin put away his piano, walked to the man who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone and persuaded: "Brother Jing Ke, my aunt has gone, if there is a spirit in heaven to see my brother grieve so much, I am afraid it is not what my aunt wants." ”

The young man kneeling on the ground was silent for a long time.

Pieces of fallen leaves fell from the sky, and the yellow and gray fallen leaves gathered into a clump on the earth, rustling and fluttering with the autumn wind, revealing a bit of gloomy color.

After a long time, Jing Ke said astringently: "Gradually leaving my brother, my mother worked hard to raise me, but I can't be filial to my mother, I really ......."

This pianist is a native of Yan country, his name is Gao Yuanli, he is a friend of Jing Ke, he likes to travel all over the world to make friends, and he happened to visit Jing Ke from Taoyi a while ago, and caught up with Jing Ke's mother's funeral.

Gao gradually left the gentle voice and soothed: "The deceased is gone, the living should work hard, why should my brother be like this?" I think that I have invited my brother to travel the world with me many times, and now that my aunt is gone, isn't it the time for my brother to show his great talents? ”

Jing Ke shook his head and sighed: "Having said that, I want to keep filial piety for my mother for three years, and this matter of traveling the world will be talked about after three years." ”

Gao Yanli nodded, and said with great admiration: "Brother Jing Ke really deserves to be the most affectionate and holy person, which makes the little brother ashamed." ”

Jing Ke slowly stood up and said to Gao Yuanli: "Brother gradually leave, let's go." ”

Jing Ke's home is located in a small village about ten miles outside Puyang, this village looks quite dilapidated, the village has few residents and most of the houses are dilapidated, although it is still noon, it gives people the feeling of sunset.

A little black dog jumped out of nowhere and barked at the two of them, looking quite vicious.

Jing Ke, who was in a bad mood, frowned, raised his foot and wanted to kick, the little black dog was startled and hurriedly jumped aside.

Jing Ke snorted and walked forward with Gao Yuanli.

Who would have thought that after just two steps, the little black dog rushed up again, still barking at the two of them.

Jing Ke's brows furrowed even more, and he simply picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it heavily on the puppy's forehead.

Jing Ke's hand was quite strong, and this time he directly smashed the puppy to the ground, and there was a small wound on his forehead.

The puppy screamed and ran away.

Gao Yanli watched all this from the side, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Why does Brother Jing Ke have the same knowledge as this beast? ”

Jing Ke snorted and said, "I can't even support my old mother in the family without illness and disaster, it's really a waste, I can't think of being so bullied by this beast now, how can I bear it?" It needs to be taught a lesson. ”

Gao gradually left and laughed dumbly.

After walking a few more steps, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of the two of them, the courtyard wall was only as high as the waist of the two of them, and standing on the side of the road, you could easily see a few dilapidated houses in the small courtyard.

This is Jing Ke's home.

The two were about to walk into the courtyard door, when suddenly there was another sound of wao.

Jing Ke and Gao Yanli were both stunned, and turned their heads to look at the same time, only to find that the puppy that had just been beaten away by Jing Ke brought several dogs of different sizes, barking at the two of them in unison, in an extremely vicious manner.

Seeing this, Gao Yanli couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Jing Ke, you beat the small ones, but now the whole family has come to you for trouble." ”

Jing Ke smiled calmly, and suddenly took out a dagger from his waist.

"Gradually leaving brother, cute and eating dog meat?"

The dog meat is fragrant.

Jing Ke and Gao Yanli sat in the courtyard, one person with a dog's leg, nibbling very fragrantly, and the juice overflowed with the aroma.

Gao Yanli gnawed on the dog's bones and said vaguely: "I don't know where Brother Tai wants to go after guarding filial piety?" ”

Jing Ke threw away the dog bone in his hand, fished out another dog bone that was obviously much thicker, and said while gnawing: "There is nowhere to go for the time being." ”

Gao Yanli also threw out the dog bones that had been gnawed clean, and said with a smile: "If Brother Jing Ke doesn't dislike it, why don't you go to Yan Guo?" Although the younger brother is not talented, he still has some industries in the Yan Kingdom, with Brother Jing Ke's ability, you and I will join hands, are you afraid that you will not be able to do a big business? ”

Jing Ke was also a little moved after hearing this, but after a while, he still shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't want to hide that I am leaving my brother, I am going to Handan and my party." ”

"Handan?" Gao Yuanli's eyes widened in confusion.

Jing Ke nodded and said: "Today's Zhao State is the overlord of the world, and the treatment of the Northern and Southern Army of Zhao State is also said to be excellent. ”

Gao Yuanli's expression moved slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction quietly flashed from his eyes.

As a native of Yan State, how could Gao Yuanli have a good impression of Zhao Guo, who had just taken away a large piece of land from Yan State? Therefore, when he saw that his friend wanted to defect to Zhao Guo, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

But this is Jing Ke's personal matter after all, and Gao Yanli can't say anything, but the atmosphere between the two of them inevitably becomes a lot duller.

At this moment, a loud scolding suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Jing boy, you are a murderer, you actually killed all the dogs of the old woman's family! What a bastard thing! ”

The two turned their heads to look, only to find that an old woman was jumping and angrily pointing at the two and scolding.

Jing Ke and Gao Yuanli's bodies were stiff, and they involuntarily put down the dog bones they were holding in their hands.

In particular, I patronized and ate so well that I forgot that the dog actually has an owner......

What's even more excessive is that Jing Ke and Gao Yanli killed all four dogs, and now they are all eaten in their stomachs.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Seeing that the old woman was so angry that she couldn't stop scolding, Jing Ke frowned, and said to the old woman in front of her: "Aunt Meng, didn't you just eat a few brutes of yours?" I will pay you back. ”

"Compensation?" Aunt Meng crossed her hands on her hips and sneered: "I want to see how you will compensate for this murder today!" ”

Jing Ke snorted and said, "Naturally, I used money to compensate, is five hundred wen enough?" ”

Aunt Meng sneered and said, "Who will you send with five hundred wen?" A thousand texts! ”

"Six hundred!"

"Nine hundred!"

"Seven hundred!"

"Eight hundred!"

"Seven hundred and fifty!"

"Bring it!" Aunt Meng stretched out her calloused hand.

Jing Ke shook his head and touched the money bag on his waist, but he felt empty.

Jing Keleng paused for a moment, and then remembered that in order to give his old mother a funeral, he had spent the last bit of money in the family.

Jing Ke coughed very embarrassedly, and said to Gao Yuanli in front of him: "Brother Yuanli has copper coins here?" And borrow some from me first, and I'll pay it back another day. ”

Gao gradually spread his hands and said helplessly: "Please forgive Brother Jing Ke, the younger brother is also shy in his pocket." ”

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Aunt Meng, and the spicy Aunt Meng suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and started the scolding mode again.

"Okay, you Jing family boy, after talking for a long time, the relationship is a pastime for the old woman? What a bastard boy, no wonder Ru Niang died and couldn't live in peace......"

Jing Ke's face changed, Huo Ran stood up, stared at Aunt Meng viciously and said, "Auntie, what did you just say?" ”

Aunt Meng was stunned by Jing Ke, and subconsciously took a few steps back, but immediately screamed again: "Come on, this Jing kid killed the old woman's dog, and now he is going to commit murder to the old woman!" ”

With Aunt Meng's screams, an old man ran over with several young people: "Mother-in-law, what's going on?" ”

These people are none other than the old man and son of Mrs. Meng's family.

Aunt Meng jumped to her feet and scolded, scolding Jing Ke for being a little more stinky than the stones in the pit, and finally shouted at Jing Ke: "Jing family boy, if you can't compensate this dog's money today, the old woman will smash your broken house!" ”

Jing Ke was furious and shouted, "You dare? ”

The old man of the Meng family and a few young descendants were not the masters who could bear it, so they immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Jing Ke, I see that you are looking for a fight today!" ”

Jing Ke laughed angrily, pulled out the dagger in his hand, and said coldly: "I want to see who dares to enter my house today?" ”

If it were ordinary people, I am afraid that they would be cowardly at this time, but the old man of the Meng family and several descendants of the family have all joined the army and fought, where will Jing Ke be taken into account?

Meng Laohan shouted angrily: "Let's go up together and beat him!" ”

Several juniors immediately held the wooden sticks and the farm tools in their hands, and smashed them towards Jing Ke without a head.

Seeing this, Gao Yanli's heart suddenly moved, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly pulled out a thin sword from the piano, and said loudly: "Brother Jing Ke, I'm here to help you!" ”

The two walked side by side, ping pong and the Meng family's father and son.

A moment later, a descendant of the Meng family suddenly screamed, and the whole person staggered back, and a deep wound had been stabbed in his chest, and the whole person was not alive.

"Murder !!" The next moment, the screams of the Meng family's aunt resounded in the sky.

Jing Ke was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pulled the sword with blood on it: "Hurry up!" ”

An hour later, the two had escaped from the village, free from the pursuit of the angry Meng family father and son.

Gao Yanli said to Jing Ke with a guilty face: "Brother Jing Ke, the junior brother didn't investigate the accidental killing of others for a while, but he caused trouble for Brother Jing Ke. ”

Jing Ke sighed, shook his head and said, "Brother Gradually Leaving is acting for my righteousness, how can I blame Brother Gradually Leaving?" It's just that today's incident happened, but I can't stay here. ”

A smile flashed at the corner of Gao Yanli's mouth, and he lost no time in saying: "Brother Jing Ke, it's better to go to Yan Guo with Gradually, and it is better to make up for one or two Yuanli." ”

Under Gao Yuanli's strong persuasion, Jing Ke pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go to Yan Country with my brother who is gradually leaving!"

A moment later, a descendant of the Meng family suddenly screamed,
