Lin Zhe's mind went back to that year.

That year, he was seventeen years old, the age of the rainy season. But for him, there is no flower season and no rainy season in his life. Some just want to survive and eat a mouthful of food.

An ignorant young man, in order to survive, for that mouthful of food that can fill his stomach, there are many such people, he is just one of the vast sea of people.

Both parents are dead, and he is alone.

Heaven is fair, and if you have a wall in front of you, it will also open a window for you.

This is what we often call hope.

Lin Zhe's hope came from a little maid who hired his master, and the little maid was called Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is two years younger than him, although she looks ordinary and looks ordinary. But she is kind-hearted and treats him very well, and often secretly sends him some leftovers, so that Lin Zhe, who is growing up, can develop normally.

Xiaoyan is a lively girl, but every time she sees Lin Zhe gobbling up the food she sent, she just sits there, quietly looking at Lin Zhe, and shows a smile from time to time.

After two years of dating, Lin Zhe has become accustomed to having her, although he is now physically strong and can eat the wages he earns, but he still likes the food sent by Xiaoyan, although it is still the leftover from the owner, but the food is secretly brought by Xiaoyan, it feels different, and later he knows that this feeling is called happiness.

Xiaoyan has also grown up, her appearance has become more beautiful, and her figure has also grown.

The two came together very tacitly, no need for words, no need for confession, it came naturally.

Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and the words of the ancients are reasonable.

Lin Zhe was quiet in happiness, and bad luck followed.

One afternoon, when he was waiting for Xiao Yan, he waited for the news that Xiao Yan had fallen from the building.

Lin Zhe didn't believe what he saw at that moment, but Xiao Yan's cold corpse was lying there. Xiao Yan was disheveled, her face was sad and angry, her eyes were wide open, and there were traces of blood in the corners of her eyes.

She didn't blink an eyelid.

The master declared to the outside world that Xiao Yan accidentally fell from the stairs by himself, and he expressed regret, for the sake of the master and servant for many years, he gave ten taels of silver to Xiao Yan's family, reflecting his generosity.

Although Lin Zhe is young, he is not a stupid person, Xiao Yan was untidy when he fell, his clothes were torn, and there was a pinch mark on his neck, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Lin Zhe knelt in front of Xiao Yan's grave, the Si people had passed away, and only the loess remained, and he was lonely and low.

Lin Zhe's heart was very painful, his hands were deeply inserted into the soil, Xiao Yan's smile kept flashing in his mind, and the strong man shed tears, except for when his parents died, he cried, no matter how big the difficulty was, he gritted his teeth and persevered, without tears, this was the most he shed since he could remember.

He has always regarded Xiaoyan as his wife, although at most he held hands and hugged him, just waiting for him to save enough money and go to the door to propose. Xiao Yan was also waiting for him to come to the door, so he knew that Xiao Yan would leave him now.

He muttered, "Yan, go slowly, I'll accompany you right away......"

He used all his savings to buy a long, sharp knife.

One dark night, he entered the compound, which was the home of Xiao Yan's master and the owner he was employed, he went into the master's room and said only one word to the frightened master: "If you kill Xiao Yan, then you must also die." ”

He waved his long knife and slashed it down one by one, I don't know how long it took to chop, and when the people in the yard heard the screams and rushed over, their owner was no longer alone, it became a pile of minced meat, and Lin Zhe was still chopping it.

The house was full of red, covered in blood, and Lin Zhe's red eyes made people feel bold.

After killing people, Lin Zhe did not escape, except for vomiting, he was in a happy mood, and he helped Xiaoyan take revenge.

Murder pays for life, and he was sentenced by the government to be beheaded.

He didn't have a trace of fear of death because he could go to see Xiao Yan, who was waiting for him.

Many times, people who don't want to die, die.

Many times, people who want to die, don't die.

Lin Zhe did not die, he was taken to a secret place and forced to train.

"Your life is no longer yours. Now it belongs to our master, and you can't die if you want to......" said the man who trained him.

The man had said a lot, had trained them for five years, and he had never seen these people for what they really were. All the instructors were masked, showing only one pair of eyes.

He remembered that there were fifty people in their team, and they learned a lot here, martial arts, writing, stratagem, the art of war, doing business, and so on. In addition to eating and sleeping, they are all studying.

The team members fight each other, and the loser only dies.

Five years later, he was the only one left, and he finished training.

When the master finished saying that sentence to him, he began his life in Tianhe Town......

After nineteen years and eight months of waiting, the order finally came.

So what does his master want him to do?

Who is his master?

Lin Zhe couldn't think of it.

He thought of Xiao Yan, his retreat every afternoon was the happiest time, at this time he could think quietly about Xiao Yan, no one came to disturb him, he remembered that Xiao Yan said to him: "Zhe, we will have a child in the future, if it is a daughter, we will call her Lin Yan, if it is a son, we will call him Lin Yiqiang." ”

"Why?" He asked at the time.

"Oh, that's stupid. My name is Zhang Yiyan, and if I am a daughter, I will use your surname and my name, so I will be called Lin Yan; If it's a son, just use the word in my middle, boy, you have to be physically strong and powerful. So it's called Lin Yiqiang, do you say it's good! Xiao Yan looked at Lin Zhe with an expectant expression.

"Of course, you have the final say in our family, hehe." Lin Zhe smiled happily.

Xiao Yan patted him lightly, leaned on him with a smile, and her face was full of happiness.

The two sat on a rock on the mountain, and the setting sun stretched their shadows.

Although the son was not born to him and Xiao Yan, when he had a son, what he thought of was to fulfill Xiao Yan's unfulfilled wish and named him Lin Yiqiang.

Lin Yiqiang was sent away by him, this is his concern, his sustenance, and from his body, Xiaoyan's life is continued.

He can die at any time, but he wants to give Lin Yiqiang the best protection.

He has arranged for one hundred and three people to secretly protect Lin Yiqiang, these people may be beggars, shopkeepers, or traders......

They have only one mission, to protect Lin Yiqiang's safety.

He didn't tell Lin Yiqiang about these things, and he didn't need to say it, just let him grow up freely and happily.

The gate was open, and scattered snowflakes drifted in with the cold wind, and when they met the bonfire, they instantly turned invisible.

Lin Zhe sat quietly, waiting for the next order.
