Ai Zhao may be high blood pressure, his blood is spurting thin, much stronger than the black dog outside just now, fortunately, Li Hongji blocked the sheet draped behind him on his chest, and there was not much blood on his body, most of it fell on the kang, and half of the brocade was soaked hot.

Maybe he was too nervous just now, Li Hongji was too fierce, and Ai Zhao's entire head was almost cut off, leaving only a trace of skin adhesion on the back of his head.

Li Hongji didn't care about Ai Zhao's body, he took off the sheet on his chest, wiped the blood stains on his hands and knife, and touched the padded jacket of his jacket for a while, found wet stains, and wiped them with the sheet, and then threw the sheet away, standing alone in the dark in a daze.

Ai Zhao's revenge is avenged, but he does not have the slightest sense of happiness # in his heart, but there is a faint sense of loss, since he came to this world, except for being close to Gao Guiying in Hulu Mountain, he doesn't seem to have enjoyed a day.

Now that Ai Zhao is dead, the hardships he endured in prison are revenge, and he should be happy, even if he is still in Ai Mansion now, he can't raise a glass to celebrate and sing, at least there is a trace of happiness, but Li Hongji can't be happy at all.

If Ai Zhao dies, will he be able to live a good life?

Let's not talk about the end of the world, he and Li Guo are almost unknown now, and even eating and living in restaurants are problems, are they destined to only have fun in suffering?

Thinking that Ai Zhao was a person, lived in a high-walled compound, and there must be a lot of silver hidden in his home, Li Hongji suddenly became excited, although he didn't know where Ai Zhao hid silver, but Ai Zhao's bedroom must have some odd silver.

Li Hongji re-lit the fire, found the candlestick, lit the candle, and began to rummage carefully in the bedroom, God has eyes, in Ai Zhao's bookcase, found a cloth bag, there are two ingots in the cloth bag, each ding is fifty taels, he smiled unceremoniously, and took out five or six taels of broken silver from Ai Zhao's jacket pocket, and also stuffed it into his arms.

He originally wanted to set fire to Ai Mansion, but in Ai Zhao's bedroom, except for the bloody brocade quilt, there was nothing to ignite, and now there was snow outside, even if it was ignited, this house could not be burned out, maybe it would be self-defeating, and the fire attracted the nursing home of Ai Mansion, so the gains outweighed the losses.

Li Hongji stuffed the waist knife into the scabbard, held it in his hand, swaggered out of the main gate, and then disappeared into the backyard.

The pentagonal flying claw was still there, Li Hongji climbed the wall along the rope, and saw Li Guozheng standing motionless in the shadow of the tree, and did not speak, so he put away the flying claw, pinned it to his waist, turned over and jumped off the wall.

Li Guo walked a few steps and helped Li Hongji up, "Second uncle, how is it?" ”

Li Hongji said in a low voice: "It's successful, Shuangxi, don't speak, let's go quickly, and get out of the city before dawn." ”

Although Li Guo couldn't see the blood stains on Li Hongji's body clearly, he found that Li Hongji's voice was a little out of shape, and his breathing was rarely very short, so he didn't ask too much, and according to the prior agreement, he went to the west of the city along Ximen Street.

Now it was ugly, and the gate had not yet been opened, even if the gate was opened, and they did not dare to go out of the city through the gate, and the two stopped at the southwest corner of the city wall.

Li Hongji untied the rope around his waist, tied a knot around the battlement of the daughter wall, and then threw the remaining rope down the city.

There were no more superfluous words in the darkness, the two climbed the rope and went down the city in turn, Li Hongji rubbed his astringent eyes, identified the direction, and headed west.

Mizhi County, Li Hongji is very familiar with it, when he was a post boy before, he has not been to the county seat, and he plays with fox friends and dog friends in his spare time. The West Gate was his way home, and even if it was night, he could easily find the wooden bridge over the Wuding River by the light of the snow.

At this time, the snow on the small bridge is at least half a foot thick, and the surface is a thick layer of ice.

Li Guo had no intention of appreciating such a snowy scene, the cold wind outside was biting, blowing his face painfully, and his heart was so nervous that it was like a blood collapse, he just followed behind Li Hongji, and crossed the Wuding River with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

In the west of the Wuding River, there is no big river to block it, and there are mostly uneven ridges, as if they were deliberately made to grow crops like this when they manually ploughed the ground, but at this time the field was covered with thick snow, but it was flatter than a woman's lower abdomen.

This road to Lijia Station, Li Hongji can recognize it with his eyes closed, but human life is on his side, he doesn't dare to be careless, if the people of Ai Mansion get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and unintentionally find Ai Zhao's body, report to the government, with Ai Zhao's influence in the county government, it is not impossible for the officials to start chasing at night, and then stay away from the county seat first.

They ran wildly through the snow until a glimmer of dawn appeared in the east, which reflected the snow on the ground, and everywhere was a hazy white.

Li Guo turned his head to look at Li Hongji while running, "Second uncle, let's slow down and rest, it's almost dawn, if you meet passers-by, look at us, don't treat us as thieves!" ”

Li Hongji felt a little tired, ran for half a night, and stepped on the thick snow, his legs were so sore, he had already lost consciousness, it was okay to run for his life just now, but now he is relaxed, his legs are not like a part of his body, and he is not controlled by his brain at all, it is estimated that Li Guo is not much better, "Double happiness, then let's walk slowly, meet the market, eat some early first!" ”

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the surrounding forms could not be seen clearly, and Li Hongji did not dare to say anything about the killing of Ai Zhao, lest the wall have ears.

I ran for too long just now, and now I feel the heat all over my body, and the two of them loosened the padded jacket on their upper body a little, and the cold wind poured into it, and the body was comfortable, and the person was much more sober.

At dawn, Li Hongji inspected the surrounding environment, they ran at least twenty miles in the middle of the night, and suddenly glanced at Li Guo, and found that he was sweating profusely, and the sweat from the collar formed a circle of mist on all sides of his head, like auspicious clouds on Penglai Island.

"Double Happiness, look at the ...... above my head"

Li Guo only glanced at it, and was immediately shocked: "Second uncle, you ...... How do you have auspicious clouds? ”

"Haha......" Li Hongji knew that Li Guo certainly couldn't see the top of his head, and he didn't break it, so he half-jokingly: "It may be that the Buddha is taking care of us." ”

"Second uncle, I ...... in Aifu last night"

"Double happiness, let's not talk about this first, beware of others eavesdropping!" Li Hongji was calm, walked about three or four miles, hurriedly ate some hot tea in a tea shop for breakfast, and walked for another morning, about noon, before going to the hotel.

Lying on the warm kang, Li Guo swept away his tired look and hit Li Hongji's end, "Second uncle, have you seen Ai Zhao?" What did you do to him? ”

"Kill!"

"Killed?" Li Guo suddenly widened his eyes, his face turned pale sharply, his lips moved, and he looked around again, and saw that there were indeed only their uncle and nephew in the room, so he asked, "Really killed?" Didn't you meet the nursing home of Aifu? ”

"He wants to put me to death, and how can I spare him?" Li Hongji patted his chest and smashed a few nails of silver into a clang, "This is the silver of Aifu, it can be regarded as making amends for me!" ”

"Silver?" Li Guo forgot his fear for a while, and turned his attention to the silver, "Second uncle, how much silver did the Ai family give?" "Instantly realized that something was wrong, Ai Zhao was killed, how could the Ai family return the silver to Li Hongji? A smile froze on his face.

"Haha, it's not much, it's just over a hundred taels!" Li Hongji took out the two ingots from his chest and shook them in front of Li Guo's eyes, "In addition, there are still some broken silver!" ”

"So much? We have made a fortune, hey, the Ai family is really rich! Li Guo asked for the two ingots, put them in his mouth and took a bite, "It's silver, enough silver." ”

"Of course it's pure silver," Li Hongji said with a smile: "Double happiness, with this silver, what should we do next?" ”

"Hmm...... Eat a big meal first, hey, I knew that there was so much silver, I didn't drink spicy soup at noon, drank wine, drank distilled wine, that kind of wine is really delicious, and it can warm up the body, half a catty stomach, and I don't even need to light a charcoal brazier, second uncle, with this silver, we don't have to hide from Ai Zhao, it's a big deal to pay him back the silver, but it's only five taels ......."

"Hahaha......" Li Hongji almost burst out laughing, "Double happiness, we really don't have to hide from Ai Zhao - in this world, there is no Ai Zhao anymore." ”

"Hehe...... Li Guo came to his senses, smiled wryly, and scratched the back of his head with his hand, "I forgot that these silver are Ai Fu...... Second uncle, you will talk about entering Aifu, lest I make any more jokes! ”

Li Hongji coughed lightly, and explained in detail what happened after entering Ai Mansion, "Double happiness, you said that Ai Zhao ate too much wine at night, why did he still sleep alone?" He had always felt strange, if there was a woman in Ai Zhao's bedroom, in order not to leak the information, he could only kill him.

Li Guo knew Ai Zhao's thoughts, so he could only talk nonsense, "Probably because the woman dislikes the strong smell of wine on him!" He still cares about the silver, "Second uncle, with this silver, do we still want to escape?" ”

The attachment of the Han people to their home, Li Hongji has seen a lot in the novel, even if it is a ranger like Li Guo, it is the same, he sighed slightly, "Double happiness, I also want to stay at Lijia Station, but don't forget, my lawsuit has not been eliminated, how did this silver come about, Ai Zhao was killed, are the Ai family and the government willing to give up?" Sooner or later, they will find out about us, and if we have another lawsuit, who will save us then? ”

Li Guo's face turned red, "Second uncle, I listen to you in everything, I will go wherever you say," paused and asked, "Where are we going?" ”

"Ganzhou, if you want to go, go farther." Li Hongji has long thought about it, with this silver, plus the treasure in his arms, he can be a rich man in his hometown, but in this troubled world, can he keep this status as a small people? Let's not talk about the lawsuit, the mob that has appeared in Shaanxi can make him a rich man?

Not to mention that he is clothed, he is the King of Qin in Xi'an and the King of Fu in Luoyang, and he has not become a lamb to be slaughtered one by one in the chaos of the people?

Having money is a sin, in this troubled world, the rich man is like a beautiful woman without any ability to protect, anyone can come up and strip her naked, the more beautiful she is, the greater the attraction to the disorderly people.

If you want to survive, you have to accumulate strength step by step, and only with strength can you protect yourself.

"Ganzhou is Ganzhou, I listen to the second uncle." Li Guo touched the two ingots again, and then reluctantly returned them to Li Hongji, "Then what should we do now?" ”

"Have a good rest first, leave tomorrow later, and then go home after dark, I will take Jin'er to Ganzhou together."

"That's okay, second uncle, when you get to the entrance of the village, you go to pick up your aunt, I'll go home and clean up, and then go to the village entrance to meet."

After Li Hongji and Li Guo broke up, it was already a dead time, and when this bit of water turned into ice, there were no pedestrians in the village, so he quietly went to the back of his house and prepared to wake up Han Jin'er through the window.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the room, at this time, Jin Er hadn't slept yet? Li Hongji wanted to see what Han Jin'er was busy with, he put his ear close to the window, but the voice was too small to hear really, except for Han Jin'er, there seemed to be a man's voice.

Don't......
