Chapter 4: Dawn
The small town of White River.
The streets, where there are many businesses and shops, are full of wind and fire, and the shouting is continuous.
"Baked cakes, baked cakes, delicious baked cakes!"
"Come and see, come and see, authentic Pu'er, authentic good tea!"
"Divination, if you calculate accurately, give a few taels, and if you don't calculate, you won't give money!"
Of course, in this lively street market, in addition to the shouting, there are also some neighbors, chatting about some recent events in the teahouse tavern.
Yuelai Building.
Wipe a few cups of tea.
Gossip.
Don't smell deeply.
"I heard that Mayor Li's son seems to have been killed!" An old man in a gray shirt whispered to a few friends around him.
"I also heard about this matter, it is said that he has lived in Liu's iron shop for a long time, and it seems that a young man named Sun Yan did it!"
"Then he is miserable, not only is he miserable, but it is estimated that the Liu family will also suffer!"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily!" At this time, an old man who seemed to know a little bit of the inside story chuckled lightly and suddenly said.
"Oh, Lao Zhang, that's what you say!" The old man in the gray shirt looked suspicious, as if he was interested, but he asked.
"Don't you know? It's the other day when the immortals came to us! ”
"You know, didn't you just choose Mayor Li's son and send him to cultivate immortals?" The gray-shirted old man said, "But what does this have to do with this? ”
"What's the relationship, heh, it's a big deal?" The person named Lao Zhang couldn't help but sneer, and continued: "The immortal chose not Li Ba alone, but two people, and the remaining one is Liu Hu, you say, there is the protection of the immortals here, how can there be something wrong with their family?!" ”
"I see!"
“……”
At this moment, in the same teahouse, not far from the old man's conversation, on a teahouse, a young man with a hat and a black robe, after hearing the words of the old man, his eyes suddenly flashed a trace of brightness, and then, this person got up and paid the silver and left the teahouse!
On the way, he intentionally or unintentionally avoided a few patrolling officials and guards before returning to the inn where he lived, and he soon closed the doors and windows, and then slowly took off his hat in a careful way!
And this person is - Sun Yan!
Slowly lying on the bed, looking at the sky above this room, for a long time, Sun Yan's expression seemed to have strong doubts, but under this doubt, it made him sigh softly......
"It seems that going to the teahouse to find out the news is a wiser decision, but I don't know very well, why did he do this, is it related to the immortals? Otherwise, why hide it from me, he was chosen by the immortals?! Sun Yan muttered, in his eyes, for some reason, there was a faint uneasiness!
"Now, if I want to find out the truth of the matter, I must see him again!" Talking to himself, Sun Yan should be a little tired, immediately emptied his mind, and his eyes gradually closed, but before he could fall asleep, a chaotic sound suddenly came into his ears!
This made him moved, got up directly, and attached his ears to his door, he listened carefully, and suddenly heard the footsteps of several people, but in this footsteps, there was this inn - the voice of the shopkeeper, and although the shopkeeper spoke very quietly, Sun Yan's ears were more keen!
"Yes, yes, this is the person in the portrait, he has been living here for two days!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't harbor the fugitive, it was all an accident, you should take him away quickly!"
"Two more days, I'll treat you well!"
Hearing this, if Sun Yan didn't know what was going on, then he was an out-and-out fool, at this point, he no longer hesitated, his eyes turned slightly, and he immediately set his eyes on the window of this room!
……
In the blink of an eye, night is coming!
Now that it is about to fall into the cold, although the air conditioning is not pressing, it is still a little unbearable, so after nightfall, the people in Baihe Town turned off the lights very early and fell asleep!
However, just after the middle of the night, in a dense grass, a thin figure slowly appeared, and he looked left and right very carefully, and then he saw a direction, and began to move forward quickly by the night......
After a while, I came to a place called Liu's ironware shop.
He looked at the blacksmith shop, was silent for a moment, and then climbed in through the window, a little sneakily!
This ironware shop is not big, but it has two rooms, one is where Liu Hu's father lives, and the other is where Liu Hu lives, and the figure crawled into Liu Hu's room!
But as soon as he entered, it was as if he had been discovered by the people inside, and he only heard a strong voice, and suddenly shouted in horror: "Who is it!!" ”
"Liu Hu, don't call, it's me!"
"You?!" Liu Hu was a little familiar when he heard the sound, but soon he reacted, with some surprise, and immediately lit a candle around him, and then after the light was lit, he finally saw the person clearly, but at this moment, his puzzlement was a little heavier, and he couldn't help but doubt: "Sun Yan?!" ”
"Well, that's me!" This person is naturally Sun Yan.
"Didn't you leave here? What do you want to do when you come back? Didn't know you were wanted out there! Liu Hu frowned and said quickly.
It's just that when he heard Liu Hu's slightly impatient words, Sun Yan had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, he didn't answer Liu Hu's words immediately, but just looked at Liu Hu's eyes, as if he wanted to see something......
"What's wrong?!" Being stared at by Sun Yan like this, Liu Hu asked in some surprise.
"Nothing! Just wanted to tell you something! After a moment of silence, Sun Yan said.
"What's the matter?!" Liu Hu was stunned for a moment, but there seemed to be something more in his eyes.
"Before!" Sun Yan was silent again for a while, and his expression seemed to be a little complicated: "I have a guess, I don't know, should I say it......
"Guess? Hehe! Liu Hu's expression moved, as if he was a little unclear, but he walked to his door, smiled, and said: "You even think this is speculation, I think, or wait until you figure it out, and then say it, right?" ”
"Do you believe me?" Suddenly, Sun Yan asked.
But this question reached Liu Hu's ears, and his body was shocked, as if he had no answer to this question!
But what is unexpected is that right now, around Liu Hu's room, there is a rapid gathering...... In fact, the station was full of officers and soldiers, as if they only needed a certain order, they would rush up and capture Sun Yan!
……
Inside the house.
Sun Yan looked left and right, his eyes were very bright, as if he already knew something that he might not know...... In the end, he fixed his gaze on Liu Hu, then sighed and said, "It seems that my guess can't be done without saying it!" ”
"Still!" Suddenly, Liu Hu directly interrupted Sun Yan's words, and in the midst of complexity and entanglement, he seemed to speak: "Still, don't say it!" ”
Sun Yan was silent, and his eyes did not leave Liu Hu.
Now, facing Sun Yan, Liu Hu took a deep breath, and then smiled coldly, as if the honest and honest side of him suddenly disappeared, on the contrary, he showed a sinister appearance, which made Sun Yan's heart tremble, as if he had a feeling of recognizing the wrong person!
"You?!" Sun Yan only said this one word, and Liu Hu seemed to have lost his patience, and immediately knocked on his door twice in a row!
"It's weird...... Yours is not in good health! As soon as the words fell, before Sun Yan could react, outside Liu Hu's window, the light of countless torches suddenly lit up, and at the same time, Liu Hu, who was at the gate position, opened the gate in an instant, and then his figure moved, and then quickly retreated, and then, in the blink of an eye, he closed the door again!
In this whole process, Liu Hu was extremely cold, and the speed was also very fast, as if Liu Hu had designed it a long time ago!
At this point, this room, it seems that only Sun Yan is left, but for Sun Yan, the predicament is not only that, now to observe, it can be found that in Liu Hu's room, except for the wall, almost all the exits, including the location where Liu Hu came out, were stared at the wooden plank, therefore, this is simply a dead end!
And Sun Yan in the room, watching Liu Hu leave, was still silent......
……
At this time, outside the house.
In front of the group of officers and soldiers surrounding the house, there was a big fat man wearing a high-grade black official uniform, he was Li Ba's father, the mayor of Baihe Town-Li Ao!
And he, after seeing Liu Hu appear from the house, rolled his eyes and immediately asked Liu Hu, "What's going on inside?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Hu pretended to tremble, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "Go back to the mayor, I've already taken the bait!" ”
"Good!" Li Ao's expression showed a little ruthlessness and extremely strong hatred, and almost at the moment he said this one word, he shifted his gaze to the surrounding officers and soldiers, as if he was signaling something!
Of course, these officers and soldiers have been with Li Ao for a long time, how can they not know what he means?!
Therefore, at this moment, they did not hesitate to start the action, only to see a part of the people, quickly from the rear, picked up a few boxes of oil, and immediately splashed it on the room, and then another group of people, but they threw all the torches that were originally lit into the room, and for a while, the fire seemed to render the night sky!
Looking at this fire, Li Ao's hatred seemed to gradually rise with this fire, and he thought brutally in his heart: "Kill my son, I will let you, there is no corpse!" ”
Liu Hu's eyes also reflected this fire, and he looked very calm, but from the depths of his expression, there was still some inexplicable color!
