On the fifth day of moving to the dock, the caravan that should be ready left the dock under the order of Xun Kuang, Xu Ji boarded the bow of the ship and looked, only feeling sad, he came alone, went alone, no one knew his heart, and no one knew his story. There is no need for more people to know the way, Xu Ji thought so, and turned his head back to the cabin.

And he absolutely didn't know what was a little girl on the dock cursing with red eyes, this girl was obviously Miss Yining who left that day.

Seeing that the boat was far away, the little girl seemed to have made a decision, turned back and untied the little horse tied to the horse stake, turned over and got on the horse, the horse was not a mortal thing, it seemed to be extremely spiritual, and the little girl on the horseback galloped away without waiting for the little girl on the horse's back to signal.

Xu Ji didn't know what to do, and Yin Ning didn't know what he wanted to do for each other, but he was almost wrong.

In fact, Xu Ji hates the trip to stay on the ship, even if the waterway may be faster and easier, but the scenery that Xu Ji sees every day is the same flowing water and green mountains, which is really a little boring, fortunately, every time he goes to the dock, he will dock to make some food and water supplements, but he also has time to walk on land, although Xu Ji was born in the Jiangnan water town in his previous life, but unfortunately he still can't swim until he dies, so he can't talk about liking water, this time the dock they docked at is under the jurisdiction of Anle.

When Xu Ji first heard the name of this place, he immediately had a tangled expression, could it be that this was the fief of Liu Da'er's son later? Of course, at this time, Anle is not very famous, and prosperity is not to be said, but it is because it is not too far from Wancheng, but the journey of one day and one night looks pretty good.

Of course, since it is repaired, it must be the whole caravan to rest in batches, otherwise there are a lot of caravan ships, and this kind of dock will definitely not be able to berth so many ships.

Taking advantage of this short period of two hours, Xun Kuang, the nominal leader of the caravan, came to see Xu Ji again, he brought Xun Yu's letter, and glanced at Chen Zhi before leaving, and said meaningfully: "Although the guard of Gongzi has good kung fu at hand, I am afraid that two fists will be difficult to defeat four hands after all." ”

Xu Ji didn't answer, but just arched his hand and signaled thank you for the reminder.

Xu Ji opened the envelope, which was written by Xun Yu half a month ago, and most of the content was written about the current situation of Yingchuan and asking Xu Ji if he needed anything. After reading the letter, Xu Ji told Chen Dao: "Uncle Zhi, don't leave the sword, I guess, it won't be long before a gift comes to the door." ”

Chen Zhi just nodded and didn't say more, and Xu Ji, who was kneeling behind the case, also chuckled, it's been half a month, the letter has arrived, and the killer should have arrived, right?

It was night, Xu Ji was reading in the cabin at night, Chen Zhi just sat aside and didn't say a word, there was only the sound of water waves around, but the night of the water town that was originally calm and peaceful was now awe-inspiring.

Suddenly, there was an extremely small but extremely harsh and abrupt metallic sound, Xu Ji raised his head and smiled lightly at Chen Zhi: "Come, go and entertain us, lest our guests think we don't know how to be polite." ”

Chen Zhi also smiled, and replied: "Young master, sit down, Uncle Zhi will find some fun for you to come back." "Anyway, he lifted his sword and came out, his back was as thick as a mountain, Xu Ji didn't go out together, of course he clearly knew that his little trick was not as good as a killer's quick knife, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble to them, so he would simply look like a master of the world.

In less than half a pillar of incense, Chen Zhi had already returned to the cabin, and there was no one else around, Xu Ji frowned and asked, "Dead man?" ”

Chen Zhi nodded, and Xu Ji asked again: "What about Xun Kuang?" ”

Chen Zhi was still silent and shook his head to show that he didn't know, and then sat back in his seat with a bad face, Xu Ji frowned and looked at Chen Zhi, and then sighed: "Uncle Zhi, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Zhi looked up at Xu Ji, and there was confusion in his eyes that he had never felt before: "Young master, am I right or wrong?" This life is buried in my hands, I ......"

"Troubled times, human life, but Erer. If you don't kill him, he will kill you, and if you want to live, you can only accept it, we have no choice. Uncle Zhi, you and I are just ants struggling to survive, let's think so much if we can live! Xu Ji rudely interrupted Chen Zhi's words and said such a thing.

Chen Zhi still didn't say a word after hearing this, just silently bowed his head and pondered, Xu Ji said again: "I haven't killed anyone with my own hands, and I haven't even seen the scene of murder with my own eyes, maybe I am more unbearable, more scared and more panicked in the face of these than you, but I know that we are the same as them, everyone's life is equal, we are all in order to live, but there are always times when we have to kill people, because they want us to die." I don't think I'm right, I don't think they're wrong, we're just trying to live, and there's no right or wrong to live, because every life is the same. ”

At this point, Xu Ji paused slightly, and continued to speak: "Uncle Zhi, you and I are ordinary people in the world, we are not born noble, we don't have thousands of family wealth to squander, we are all the same wandering rivers and lakes, although the place outside the court is not like the court everywhere, it is more direct than there, swords and soldiers meet, we want to live, only stronger than others, whether it is our heart or ability, do you understand?" Ji has never pretended to be superior, this is nothing more than because Xu Ji knows that he is not worthy, Xu Ji is not strong enough, just a speck of dust between heaven and earth, there is no need to think so much without strength. Uncle Zhi, whether you can cross this hurdle or not depends on yourself, and all you can say is here. ”

After that, Xu Ji got up and left the cabin, leaving Chen Zhi alone with a dejected appearance.

Chen Zhi seemed to have a dream, in which he slashed down four or five black-clothed and masked killer-looking people with sharp blades in his hand, looking at their vicious eyes before they died, looking at their hideous faces under their scarves, Chen Zhi felt afraid. In the dream, he captured a man in black, but just as he was about to press him to go somewhere, the man in black actually hit his head on the mast, Chen Zhi was stunned at that time, he saw the mocking smile on the face of the unknown dead man, gradually distorted into a grimace, as if he was laughing and intimidating, Chen Zhi suddenly felt as if he had fallen into the abyss, surrounded by the unknown tone of the ghostly spirit, but he couldn't make a sound and couldn't move. It was the first time Chen Zhi felt such a deep fear, as if he had fallen into a ghost.

Suddenly, there was a little light in the dense darkness around him, which came from a familiar feeling, and Chen Zhi struggled frantically towards it, and the moment he saw the light, he woke up.

Chen Zhi found that he was still staying in the 2nd cabin, and not far from his side was Xu Ji, who was standing upright with his hands, Chen Zhi slowly sat up, patted his face vigorously, and then asked, "Young master, here, how long have you been asleep?" ”

Xu Ji's face remained unchanged, but he turned around and looked at the sky outside: "Twelve hours, Xun Kuang fed you a soothing soup, and you actually drank it all in a daze." There was always such an awkward sense of depression in his tone, and of course Chen Zhi knew that this was his unscrupulous young master and couldn't help laughing. Chen Zhi replied angrily: "The young master can laugh if he wants to, Chen Zhi is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and this is just the same once in his life, if the young master doesn't laugh, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." ”

Xu Ji turned around, with a deep banter in his eyes: "Oh? Then I have to remember carefully, I can't let Uncle Chen repay you in the future. I asked Xun Kuang how he felt about killing people for the first time, and he said that he hadn't eaten well and slept well for a month, and I don't know how long it would take for our Uncle Chen to recover from it? ”

Chen Zhi lowered his head and thought about it, and when he looked up again, his eyes had become resolute again: "Uncle Zhi naturally doesn't take a month, and when he recognizes the reality, Uncle Zhi will understand." ”

"Very good, Xu Ji didn't believe you Chen Shuzhi, let's go, go eat something, I haven't eaten all day, I guess you are also hungry and panicked, let's drink two cups, since the matter has passed, more interesting is still to come." Xu Ji patted Chen Zhi's upper arm and said.

Well, why don't you pat your shoulder, because Xu Ji found that he could only pat his upper arm..................

Not far away, Xun Kuang walked towards him, with a very kind bright smile on his face: "Childe, uncle, let's get off the boat and eat something together?" I hunted a lot of fresh meat today. After saying that, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, Xu Ji's childish face also showed a smile, and he glanced behind Chen Zhi: "Uncle Zhi, let's go." Chen Zhi nodded and did not speak.

Chen Zhi's face became more and more cold, as if he had suddenly matured since he left the cabin. Xu Ji felt a little big, but he didn't say much, so he had to put it aside for the time being, but he secretly wrote it down in his heart.

Xun Kuang took the lead, and the three of them got off the boat together, and the uncle in front suddenly asked, "The son and the second young master seem to have a good relationship?" ”

Xu Ji was a little stunned, he didn't understand who this so-called second young master was for a while, and then he knew that it was Xun Yu who he said, so he replied very respectfully: "Uncle Xun is a lie, Wen Lie acknowledges that Wen Ruo treats him as a friend, Wen Lie is shallow in learning, and he doesn't dare to make friends." This not very sturdy and bold uncle let out a hearty laugh, then turned around and glanced at Xu Ji meaningfully, and then said: "Xun Kuang has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and you are only seen in your life at such an age. Interesting, interesting. With that, Da Lang smiled and turned his head to continue to lead the way.

Xu Ji is also crying and laughing, who would have thought that his cautious handling of things would make people feel smooth, although he and Xun Yu are indeed close friends, but in the eyes of others, most of them are representatives of the powerful, don't they just want to end up with such a reputation, who knows that this uncle actually has an attitude of thinking that he is a treacherous person, which really makes him cry and laugh.

There was no conversation along the way, and after walking less than a dozen steps, I saw a few Xun clansmen rising a fire by the open water, and they had already set up meat to roast, there seemed to be a lot of types, Xu Ji had already seen a deer leg grilling on the fire, it was sizzling, and there were many hares and pheasants on the side. These clansmen saw Xun Kuang and immediately beckoned them over, the three of them sat down by the bonfire, it was already approaching night, the sky was gradually darkening, and a deputy said to Xun Kuang: "Brother came so late, if it weren't for the quick start, I'm afraid there would be no so much meat." ”

Xun Kuang Ha smiled, pointed at Xu Ji and Chen Zhi and said: "The people entrusted by the second son to take care of, Xun Kuang can't be lazy, how can this kind of rare thing of getting off the boat and driving meat not call them together?" The person who looked like a deputy also gave a salute, turned his head to Chen Zhi and said, "I saw that this little brother was very athletic last night, so I should give a toast to show my admiration." ”

Chen Zhi returned the salute: "Chen Zhi is far inferior to you, I really want to fight for my life, I am afraid of your opponents." ”

Xun Kuang patted Chen Zhi's shoulder and smiled: "We are people who walk the rivers and lakes to lick the blood, and naturally we only want to kill with one blow, Uncle Zhi, you have not been baptized by the rivers and lakes, otherwise where are these opponents." The man who looked like a deputy also smiled heartily: "Ha Luha, what my brother said is that we are all wild people in the rivers and lakes, and we have never practiced martial arts seriously, if this little brother really has our experience, I am afraid that only my brother can overpower him." ”

Xun Kuang pretended to be angry: "You can only talk about the three-legged cat kung fu, dare to say such things?" Uncle Zhi learned to fight in battle, and we have always been fighting in the rivers and lakes, how can we compare without entering a door? Your brother and I are only afraid that it is not the enemy of the uncle to the three. After that, he laughed first, and the few people sitting around him also laughed. Chen Zhi rarely blushed a little: "Brother Xun looked at Chen Gao, Chen has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, yesterday Fang knew that the way to fight and kill was all on the three words of fast, accurate and ruthless. ”

Xun Kuang showed a satisfied smile on his face: "It's good that Uncle Zhi can see through, in troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard, if you want to live, you naturally have to be stronger than others." Let's not talk about this, come on, come on, go get wine, and have a good time today! ”

Everyone was also cheering and drinking, Xu Ji looked at Chen Zhi's slowly soothing face and glanced at Xun Kuang gratefully, this uncle had an indifferent look, and smiled at Xu Ji, Xu Ji was speechless.

This unscrupulous old guy, he clearly saw through everything and didn't say it directly, Xu Ji thought so, grabbed a rabbit leg and bit it hard, and swallowed it hard with the liquor, and then the spicy tears were about to come out, and the Jianghu man really just paid attention to the strong wine.

People are like wine, wine is like people, the strong ones have a unique flavor, the strong ones go straight into the spleen, and the warm ones are like fire.
