Chapter 19: A Silent Farewell

Tonight's night seems to be a bit long, and the town of Three Rivers seems to be very quiet.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the occasional few unknown birds flew by, casting dappled shadows.

There are a few night cats that come out to forage for food, and they are happy with the quiet environment at night, and the high night dark wind means that they are better able to catch their prey.

A black cat, walking cautiously on an ordinary courtyard wall, spotted a krait snake that also chose to come out at night to feed.

A hunter-prey drama is about to unfold.

The black cat tensed its body, its limbs landed lightly, and it was not noticed by the opponent, and in this case, the figure of the black cat seemed to be integrated with the whole night, so it did not have to worry about being discovered by the opponent.

Squatting down slowly, his body was already attached to the ground, his limbs were about to exert force, and he was about to jump up to hunt when he was startled by a sawdust flying diagonally.

It had to change its plan, climb the courtyard wall as fast as it could, and jumped out of the courtyard unwillingly after yelling twice at a figure.

There was a big man chopping wood in the yard, holding an ordinary woodcutter in his hand, repeating boring movements mechanically.

There was a table next to him, and on the table was covered with a wooden basin, and next to the wooden basin was a bowl of water, which was already full of sawdust, and it was certain that he could not drink it again.

It seems that the big man has been chopping firewood for a long time, and there is a pile of firewood neatly stacked against the wall in the yard, and the courtyard wall is not very high, but if the wall is so high a pile of firewood, it will naturally seem a lot.

The big man didn't know why he was chopping all this firewood, as if he was worried that the firewood would not be enough to burn.

His chopping action was not elegant, and even seemed very rough, he roughly picked up a complete piece of firewood and put it on the stake in front of him, then roughly chopped it down, and finally threw it violently on a pile of chopped firewood next to him.

All the movements are very rough, and it is difficult to produce any beauty, but his whole set of movements does not come out too loudly, as if he is trying to restrain himself, giving people the feeling that even if someone is sleeping in the house, he will not be disturbed in the slightest.

The big man chopped for a long time, and he didn't know where he found so much firewood to chop, but he knew that this courtyard could only hold so much firewood, and it seemed that one more would crush the wall next to it.

After chopping firewood, the big man began to clean the broken wood chips in the yard, and the wood chips left over from the chopping so much firewood were not so easy to clean, so he cleaned very carefully, and it was hard to believe that such a strong man would do this kind of thing.

Dahan casually lifted the wooden basin, and a black dress was covered under the wooden basin, and the strange thing was that the dress did not match Dahan's figure, and it didn't seem like he was wearing.

The big man put his clothes in the wooden basin, held the wooden basin in his left hand, walked towards the outside of the shop, gently pushed open the door of the shop, and then closed it gently.

There is a small stream not far from the shop, and the water in it is very clear, which can only be regarded as a diversion of the three rivers, and does not flow to Taiyin Mountain, so the townspeople usually dare to wash their clothes here.

The stream flows downwards and there is no need to worry about drinking water, and as for whether there are residents downstream, it is clear that no one will think about such a thing.

Linjuxuan.

"Who?" Zhang Cheng felt the movement, and suddenly opened his eyes from the bed and said, this young man is obviously very smart, even if he encountered this kind of terrifying situation, he didn't scream, just opened his eyes and asked softly, and didn't make other movements.

At this time, it is getting late, most people have already fallen asleep, and if there is a person in their room quietly at this time, it will definitely make people scared half to death.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask you something. A man in white standing next to the bed smiled and said that it was good that he didn't laugh, and this smile was even more terrifying.

Zhang Cheng was indeed very nervous, but he still couldn't help but shout, this person was able to come to his room quietly, and he could naturally kill himself easily, but he didn't rush to do it, it seems that his target is not himself, since he is not specifically here to kill himself, it means that he still has a chance.

Zhang Cheng nodded to show that he understood, and did not say anything else, nor did he make other superfluous movements, which made the man in white very satisfied.

"Xu An, I want to know this person. The man in white then asked.

"I remember, are you the one who attended the conference today? What does it seem to be called?" Zhang Cheng suddenly reacted, although he was in a coma from the beginning to the end of the conference, he still recognized the man in white.

"My name is Changgen. That's not what I'm talking about!" said with a smile, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong, and added in an accentuated tone.

"Yes, yes, you are Changgen, who won the first place?" Zhang Cheng patted his head when he heard this, and then sat up from the bed and said, looking very interested, making people feel that he was a little unclear about his situation.

"Don't mention it, the one who won the first place was the big man, called Chengwu. You... Do you want to die?"

“... What are you doing here?"

"I want to know who Xu An is?" Chang Geng asked through gritted teeth.

"I don't know, who knocked me down at the beginning of the conference. Zhang Cheng said with a blank face.

"It's because you've fallen that I'm asking you. ”

"Do you know who did it?"

"Of course I know, I'm here to ask the man. ”

"Who is it?"

"Xu An, do you believe that I will dig a pit at the bottom of the mountain and bury you in it for sixty years?"

"I really don't know who he is. Zhang Cheng looked at the elder and was about to get angry, and quickly replied.

"Oh, I don't have long eyes with this sword. After speaking, Chang Geng took out the sword, shook it twice, and said with a smile.

It was an extremely light sword, with an extremely thin blade, giving people the feeling that it could be easily broken with a little force, but Zhang Cheng could definitely see that it was definitely not an ordinary sword.

"Yes, I don't have long eyes with this sword on my back. ”

Suddenly, there was a voice at the door, the voice was very flat, but it made Chang feel a great sense of crisis.

Chang Geng didn't notice when this person was standing there, there were two masters of Shen Yan and Shen Guan in the two rooms next door, and even they didn't notice the changes here?

"The juniors are so offended, just here to ask something, just kidding, just kidding..."Changgen put the sword into the scabbard, and then raised his hands above his head and slowly turned around.

Since the two old men have not discovered the existence of this person until now, it is naturally impossible for them to offend others, and if they really want to fight, they will not have time to save themselves.

The man didn't speak, turned around slowly, and then walked straight downstairs, without even saying a threatening word, as if he was very confident and didn't dare to do it again, what kind of strength does it take for a strong man to have such confidence?

The moment the man turned around, Chang Geng's eyes naturally caught the sword on his back. "This is a broken star!" Chang Geng's heart stirred up a huge wave.

"You kid is a little interesting, huh!" Chang waited until the man walked away, turned around and looked at Zhang Cheng with difficulty, and said with a smile, still deliberately controlling his voice when he spoke, and did not forget to turn his head and look behind him again.

"I don't know, who is that person?" Zhang Cheng was even more depressed than Chang Geng at this time, because Chang Geng blocked his vision by the bedside, so Zhang Cheng only heard the voice, and he didn't even see the figure clearly.

"Pretend, you go ahead and pretend for me! Your life is big, I don't dare how, good night. Chang Geng gritted his teeth angrily, and was about to explode, when he suddenly remembered the person just now, and deliberately shouted loudly to the door, and then walked out of the door.

Zhang Cheng sat on the bed in a daze, thinking about how to deal with it, it should be the best way to run out of Lincheng at this time, but Chang Geng and they were also in this restaurant, and they must be paying attention to their actions.

I couldn't run and there was no other way, so it seemed that I had to wait for dawn to hurry up, and they didn't dare to do anything when there were so many people in the city, so they put on the quilt and began to sleep, as if nothing had happened.

After washing his clothes, he put them in the yard and began to dry, then took a pile of firewood and walked towards the kitchen.

There was still some soup left in the pot, he lifted the lid and looked at it first, and then subconsciously frowned, it was obvious that the taste of the soup had become a little bad after a long time.

The big man put the firewood at his feet, picked up the wooden scoop and began to fill the soup and poured it out, brushed the pot and looked carefully at a piece of beef on the stove, he looked very seriously, it seemed that what was placed there was not a piece of beef, but a treasure chest, and he was thinking about how to open it.

After a long time, Dahan sighed helplessly, picked up the kitchen knife from the table and cut it down on the beef, it can be seen that Dahan's knife skills are not very skilled, if it is used to kill people, it may be fatal, but it is very jerky when used to cut beef.

After a while, the big man put away the kitchen knife, looked at the pile of raw meat pieces on the table, frowned slightly, and didn't think about anything more, walked to the stove and started to make a fire.

Ignite the firewood he brought, fill the pot with a pot of water, and then put the cut meat pieces into the water to boil, and the water in the pot overflowed, the big man picked up the water scoop and scooped some out, and when all this was done, he covered the pot and sat in front of the stove and stared carefully at the firewood inside.

After a while, the big man added another piece of firewood, then took a bowl, stood up, opened the lid of the pot, and spooned a spoonful of soup, and after tasting it, he seemed to be not satisfied with the taste, and poured the soup into the swill bucket next to him.

Then I found some seasonings that I couldn't name, and tasted them one by one.

'Ahem...' The big man covered his mouth and coughed a few times in pain, although he was in pain, he still tried his best to control his voice, this should be pepper noodles.

After tasting them one by one, he added several seasonings to the pot that he couldn't name, and then sat quietly in front of the stove.

It was a quiet night.
