The summer days are so hot and humid that you can't feel the coolness even in the afternoon.

(Zhang Erjia's backyard)

It's been an hour, and Zhang Awei is still standing motionless in the middle of the courtyard, practicing holding the gun and aiming. Xiao Kui sat under the eaves of the door sluggishly, holding a fan and fanning the wind could not stop the sweat from dripping down in strands.

"I said Ah Wei, can we rest for a while? You've been practicing for more than an hour, and I'm tired of you. Xiao Kui fanned the fan, and she almost didn't have the strength to speak.

"No! I'm going to keep practicing. ”

"Okay, okay, then you continue to practice. I'll go out for a walk~" said Xiao Aoi stood up with difficulty. "I've been sitting for so long, and my butt is numb."

(Backyard Kitchen)

"Aunt Ming~ Is there anything cool to eat for me, I'm dying of heat!" Xiao Kui looked around and didn't find anything to relieve the heat, so she turned her head and shouted to the courtyard.

"Hey~ It's coming!" Aunt Ming was cleaning in Young Master Awei's bedroom, and when she heard someone in the kitchen shouting for her, she hurriedly put down her work and rushed over.

"What does Miss Aoi want? I just didn't hear clearly in the house. Aunt Ming rushed to Xiaokui's place, and she had just cleaned up the dust that had fallen on her body in the room before she had time to wipe it.

"Aunt Ming~ Is there anything to eat here to quench your thirst! It's too hot to stand it. Xiao Aoi said, wiping the sweat from her head again.

"Oops! Not really. If the lady can't stand the heat, go back to the bedroom and lie down, there is a mat in the bedroom, and you won't feel the heat when you fall asleep~" Aunt Ming was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Xiaokui.

"Wait. Aunt Ming, do you know any cooler places outside the house where you can escape the heat? ”

"Outside the house?"

"Yes, outside the house." Xiao Kui looked at Aunt Ming expectantly.

"Nope." Aunt Ming simply put down the two words and turned around and left.

Aoi was left where she was, and after thinking for a while, she decided to go to the street to have a look.

(b)

"Popsicle~Selling sweet popsicles~5 cents a piece~"

"Boss, bring me one!" Aoi walked to the popsicle stand and took out five cents.

"Okay~ Come, you take it." The boss quickly pulled out the popsicle from the box and handed it to Aoi.

"Thank you" Aoi took the popsicle and thanked the boss.

Aoi was about to put a popsicle in her mouth, when she looked up and suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her.

"Hua Gong!" Aoi shouted at the man.

I saw that the man looked back, and did not seem to find the owner of the voice.

"Hey~ here!" Aoi raised the popsicle in her hand and waved it in greeting.

Only then did Hua Gong see Xiao Kui next to the popsicle stall and walked over to her.

When Hua Gong approached, Xiao Kui looked at it and saw Hua Gong holding two packets of medicinal herbs in his hands. Xiaokui was puzzled and asked, "Who are you taking medicine for, and who is sick?" ”

"Oh, it's my master. Recently, he kept babbling about a stomachache, and I came over to grab some medicine for the old man. ”

"You still have a master! I thought your kung fu was taught by your father~ Anyway, why didn't you see him last time I went to you? Aoi was slightly surprised and took a bite of the popsicle.

"He went out some time ago and only recently came back." Hua Gong replied.

"Anyway, your master can't accept female apprentices~ Take me to meet him! I also want to learn kung fu~" Xiao Kui said and bumped Hua Gong's shoulder.

"I'm afraid it won't work. He only took me as an apprentice. ”

"So you're still your master's only seedling. So what did you rely on to get your master's favor? Aoi said and took another bite of the popsicle, looking like she wanted to hear the story.

"Not because of me, actually. When I was in my mother's womb, my father and mother apprenticed for me. Speaking of which, my master is still the lifesaver of our family! Hua Gong's eyes were full of reverence and gratitude for his master as he spoke.

"A lifesaver?" Aoi tilted her head slightly in curiosity, and then took a big bite of the popsicle.

"Hmmm! In the early years, my family offended the other family because of business problems, and my mother met someone from the opposite family on the street, and I was still in my mother's womb at that time. Fortunately, I met the master to save me, otherwise there might not be me today. ”

"Then your master must be a good person!" Aoi listened and took a bite of the popsicle.

"Of course!" "Don't say it, I'm going back to make medicine for the master." Hua Gong turned his head and left, and Xiao Kui hurriedly followed.

"Why are you still following me?"

"I said, I want to see your master, I'm serious!"

Actually, Aoi is really serious. The time this time here has made Aoi feel more and more uneasy, everything around her seems to be normal and safe, but she doesn't know when everything will change. Xiaokui knows very well that if you want to protect yourself, you must have a skill. Even Ah Wei can shoot now, but he still doesn't know anything, this feeling is too unsteady.

Xiao Kui followed Hua Gong and walked to the mouth of the alley next to the Drunken Immortal Building. I saw Hua Gong suddenly stop, his eyes becoming more and more unstable.

"What's wrong?" Aoi asked.

"Strange, what about people?"

"Who?"

As if he hadn't heard Xiao Kui's words, Hua Gong suddenly quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Silk Village.

(c)

"Master!" Hua Gong returned to the silk village and hurriedly walked to the backyard. As soon as I arrived in the backyard, I met my master Jiang.

"Master, the beggar is gone......"

"Calm down, I'm about to talk to you about this. I have already received reliable news that the beggar has been captured by Qin Song's people! ”

"What? Then he is exposed! ”

"I think the situation may be worse, I think Qin Song's side should also have an accident!"

Xiao Kui stood behind Hua Gong from beginning to end, listening to the master and apprentice, you and me, and was confused.

"Who is this?" Only then did Master Jiang notice Xiao Kui behind Hua Gong.

"Oh, this is Gao Qingkui, Miss Gao. Now he lives in Zhang Erye's house. ”

Master Jiang suddenly became excited when he heard the name Gao Qingkui, and asked, "Miss Gao, is your father Gao Zhi, and your mother is Fang's." ”

"How do you know? Do you know my mom and dad? ”

"Of course we know, we are comrades! I heard that all the Gao family was killed, but I didn't expect their daughter to be alive! The more Master Jiang spoke, the more excited he became, and tears gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Hua Gong had never seen the master so emotional, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, it's happy." Master Jiang wiped the corners of his eyes. "Don't even stand and talk, come and sit!" As he spoke, the three of them walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as she sat down, Xiao Kui couldn't help asking, "Just now you said that you and my parents are gay?" What comrade is it? ”

"Huh? It seems that your parents never mentioned it to you. Master Jiang paused and said, "Your parents and I are actually from the Red Banner Army. We are comrades of the underground guerrillas! ”
