In Kyoto, in an old courtyard house, the ground is covered with layers of withered yellow leaves.

"Sir, we have checked all the first-line and second-line areas in Yanxia, and used all the intelligence forces of the security department, but for more than a year, we have not found any traces of news about the Dragon King."

A woman in a gray tight-fitting cheongsam bowed her head slightly and preached respectfully to an inch-haired white-haired old man sitting on the Taishi's chair.

Night Rose was tall, her beautiful face was solemn, and her dark eyes were full of light, but she still couldn't hide the sadness, and couldn't help but speak: "The Tianji Operation a year ago, so many members of the Dragon Palace died and no one survived, which shocked the world!" Under an explosion of that magnitude, the entire area of buildings is blown up, and the chances of the dragon king surviving may also ......."

"Rose, you are one of the closest people to him, don't you know better than I that he is going to die?"

The white-haired old man stopped Night Rose's words.

"At the age of eighteen, he entered the School of Tactics and Strategy, won the first place for four consecutive years until graduation, and was proficient in various combat skills, ambulance and medical care, astronomy and geography and other comprehensive abilities... During his time in school, he has never met an opponent and occupied the first place with excellent results! ”

"At the age of twenty-one, he entered the battlefield of Eastern Siberia, officially participated in the war and led the team, and received a baptism of artillery!"

"At the age of twenty-two, he used his asymmetrical strength of twenty people, under unfavorable circumstances, to annihilate 567 elite enemy troops with white blades, and after this battle, he shocked the whole world and made the heads of state exclaim! All of them are given the honorific title of the god of war of the young man in the hot summer! ”

"At the age of twenty-three, he led the remaining survivors' subordinates to establish the "Dragon Palace" in a secret group, as the most powerful, powerful, and secretive absolute sharp knife force in our hot summer! ”

"In the third year of the year, he eliminated the large-scale rebellion in Western Europe and annihilated 352 enemies!"

"At the end of the autumn of 05, he killed the illegal evil forces that invaded our country and killed the three leaders of the team!"

"In the winter of '07, he turned the tide, defused the time bomb that threatened Kyoto, and maintained the dignity of my hot summer!"

"In the year of '07, he ...... again"

The white-haired old man became more and more excited, very excited!

"After so many years of life and death experience, what kind of combat mission, it is that his Dragon Palace has not participated! Heaven and earth can be described as omnipotent, dominating the world! ”

"Although it is said that he had already applied for retirement approval before he participated in Operation Tianji a year ago, and he is no longer a member of our army, I can still tell you clearly that Rose is still the strongest blade in my hot summer!"

"Even if he is really as you guessed, the Dragon King is really dead, I will order you to bring his body back to me and grant me a glorious burial!"

The white-haired old man's deep eyes shone brightly: "What's more, as my dragon of the hot summer, how could he die!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Night Rose saluted the white-haired old man again, and said solemnly: "Even if you look for another year, five years, ten years, no matter life or death, you must find the Dragon King and bring him to you to return to life!" ”

………

In Xiangshi, the cold wind in winter is howling!

Nearly minus or two degrees Celsius cold and low temperatures, the whole city is shrouded in a cold winter.

In the slum of the Southern District, at the entrance of Zheng Kee's steamed bun shop.

People covered tightly with thick cotton jackets buy hot steamed buns and soy milk, and use heat to dispel the cold and temperature.

There is only one young man's dress, which is incompatible with this winter, short-sleeved shorts and slippers, which makes people surprise that he is not cold?

"Alas, I said big tiger, you, just wear a jacket to keep warm!"

Grandma Zheng doesn't know how many times she has persuaded this young man named Dahu.

But Dahu always refused with a smile: "Don't use grandma, we don't feel cold, this dress is so thick, but I feel uncomfortable and suffocating, and it also affects things." ”

With that, he continued to knead the dough and work hard.

On a rainy night a year ago, Grandma Zheng found a young man who had fainted at the door of her bun shop, and the kind-hearted Grandma Zheng rescued him into the house.

When the young man wakes up, he seems to have lost his memory, he doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know where his parents are, and he doesn't know why, he will appear in the slums of Xiangshi City.

Grandma Zheng called the police, and the police only made a simple record, and the young man did not have any documents or anything like that, and he could prove his identity, so he did not arrange a place to live, and only said that if the identity of the young man was found, he would notify him again.

Seeing that this young man was helpless, lost his memory and homeless, only with a jade pendant shaped like a tiger hanging around his neck, Grandma Zheng called him a big tiger and kept him in the bun shop temporarily.

The big tiger does not live in vain, he helps Grandma Zheng work in the shop on weekdays, he is honest, diligent and honest, especially his learning talent is quite good, Grandma Zheng has been doing steamed buns for decades, he watched it for less than a few days, and he was proficient in learning.

Now Zheng Ji Bun Shop, Dahu can replace Grandma Zheng and be responsible for all kinds of breakfast production alone.

Although the big tiger is good, in more than a year of getting along, Grandma Zheng also found some strange behaviors in him!

For example, I often look at the sun in a daze, my hands are scratching on the ground, and even once Grandma Zheng went to the toilet in the middle of the night, and heard the dream words from the big tiger's room, and shouted in an anxious tone What to go quickly, there are dangers and other inexplicable strange words.

Grandma Zheng listened to it the most, and what she remembered was that in the big tiger's dream, she repeatedly mentioned one, like the name of some organization: "Dragon Palace".

In her spare time, once Grandma Zheng asked Dahu, is the "Dragon Palace" mentioned in his dream the one in Journey to the West?

After hearing these two words, the whole person seemed to be stupid, his eyes were suddenly dull, and his expression gradually became distorted, as if he thought of some terrifying picture: "Dead, all dead!" There was a lot of blood, and it was all my brother's blood......"

The big tiger, who was originally good, instantly became such a shocking appearance, which scared Grandma Zheng a lot!

Fortunately, Dahu gradually recovered his demeanor, and Grandma Zheng never dared to mention the two taboo words "Dragon Palace" again, for fear that Dahu would have any changes.

Grandma Zheng thought that it would be good if the police could find Dahu's family one day and take him home with peace of mind.

……

The business of Zheng Ji's steamed bun shop was busy early in the morning, and there were no customers until nine o'clock, and he got up from four o'clock to the current big tiger before he put down the rolling pin in his hand and stopped.

"Hey, wash your hands and get ready to eat, Brother Big Tiger."

A cheerful and soft girl's voice shouted!

With the sound of chirping wheels, a young girl with long black hair and a pink jacket appeared when she was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

Her name is Zheng Yingying, and she is Grandma Zheng's only granddaughter!

Although Zheng Yingying was born beautiful and beautiful, with a typical Jiangnan girl charm, she was in a car accident in the first year of junior high school, and her parents died, and Zheng Yingying's legs were paralyzed and unable to walk.

The big tiger who was hungry couldn't wait to sit down, pick up the bowl and eat!

"Hey, eat slowly, Big Tiger."

Seeing the big tiger gobbling up like this, Zheng Yingying couldn't help but pout.

"Yingying, it's a blessing to be able to eat, it's good to eat more, you can't dislike your big tiger brother! Besides, if the big tiger does things seriously, he has to be full. "Grandma Zheng said that Zheng Yingying is not.

Zheng Yingying looked aggrieved, and even hurriedly explained: "Grandma, don't talk nonsense, I don't think I'm a big tiger brother!" It's just that he eats so quickly and doesn't digest his stomach well, so I'm worried about him. ”

Zheng Yingying hurriedly put vegetables in the rice bowl of the big tiger, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, eat more and come to Brother Big Tiger, it's hard work." ”

Grandma Zheng smiled bitterly: "Alas, you girl, you are really ......"

"cold weather, boss, hurry up and make some bowls of hot noodles for our brother to eat!"

At this time, a few young people came in from outside the store, and this ass sat down to occupy the stove for warmth, and their attitude was very bad and shouted!

"Well... It's coming soon, wait a minute. ”

Grandma Zheng knew the purpose of these young people, got up and cooked the noodles in the pot, took out five hundred yuan from the drawer, sent the noodles and money to the table of these young people, and said softly: "This month's cleaning fee, a few heroes will order it." ”

"It's not enough, it's still four thousand and five, hurry up and get it!"

A young man at the head took the five hundred yuan in his pocket, ate the noodles and urged.

Grandma Zheng was stunned and puzzled: "This, how... Four thousand and five missing? ”

"It's that the price of your family's cleaning fee has increased, and from this month onwards, you will be charged 5,000 per month."

The young man at the head said impatiently.
