Chapter 35: The Mystery of the Black Fan

Guiguzi, who was invisible, said: "Master Li, I have merged with the trees next to you, so you can't see me at all." Do you want to take a closer look?"

Fan Li approached the place where Guiguzi disappeared just now, stretched out his hands and touched it gently, and magically touched Guiguzi's shoulder.

Fan Li said: "Uncle Shi, I touched it, but I couldn't see anything, it's amazing!"

Guiguzi said: "Hahaha......"

Another month passed.

In the Water Curtain Cave, Fan Li and Guiguzi played a game of Go that was about to end.

Fan Li said: "Finally, I can draw with Uncle Shi again, it's really not easy!"

Guiguzi said with a smile: "Haha, Master Li's nephew, a few days ago, I let you have six sons, so that you can draw with me." I never thought that I would let you have four sons today, but you were also tied by you. It seems that your chess skills have been improving rapidly recently!"

Fan Li also smiled: "Uncle Shi...... Did you deliberately let me do it so that I could reflect my teaching level!?haha!"

Guiguzi snorted and said, "You ghost clever ......"

Fan Li slowly stood up, hugged his fists and saluted: "Uncle Shi, thank you for your hard work recently." I've been in your "water curtain cave" for more than a month. I didn't dare to disturb anymore, so my nephew said goodbye......"

In this way, after Fan Li said goodbye to Guiguzi, he packed his baggage and returned home.

After eating the dinner made by his mother, Fan Li lay on the bed and said: "In the past month or so, I have learned my uncle's "Yin Fu Chess Game Skill", "Five Escape Stealth Skills", "Guigu Divine Skill", and chess skills have also improved a lot. This Uncle Guiguzi treats me as well as my own father. In the future, I will definitely make a career, and I will not fail his hard teaching. However, when it comes to the word "live up", ......"

Fan Li turned over and over, and said in his heart: "When it comes to the word "live up", I must not let down Xuelian, she is so good to me." Hey, for the past month or so, I've been practicing every day and missing her. I wonder how she's doing, are you thinking about my ......?"

Fan Li sat up, picked up the Huadiao wine on the table, took a big sip, and then lay down again.

Then, Fan Li turned over again and said, "Ah! I really can't sleep, I really miss Snow Lotus." But what if she's bathing again? Oh, I can't care about that much, let's go......

After a while, Fan Li came to Xiao's mansion and quietly jumped onto the roof of Xiao Xuelian's room.

Slowly picking up a tile, at this time, I saw the table in the room. There is a black folding fan with the words "Happy and not annoying" written on it.

Fan Li said in his heart: "Strange!?How can there be a man's fan in Xuelian's house!?"

Then, Fan Li picked up two more tiles. Suddenly, she found that Xiao Xuelian was sleeping groggily on the bed with a man with dark skin and three-dimensional facial features.

Fan Li couldn't bear to look directly at the earth and said, "This ...... It can't be true, it must be me dreaming...... I want to go home...... Go home and get some sleep and wake up......"

Then, Fan Li slowly put down the tiles and was about to leave the Xiao Mansion with light work. However, due to Fan Li's chaotic thoughts, he actually stepped on the air from above the gate of Xiao Mansion and fell to the ground.

At this time, Fan Li's legs, hands, and the corners of his face had broken skin and were bleeding. But he was so distraught that he didn't feel a trace of pain. It's just that the feeling of heartache has long gone beyond the pain of the body.

Fan Li slowly stood up and walked aimlessly.

Suddenly, Fan Li stretched out his right palm and slapped his face hard. This slap made a bruise on his face, but then he just smiled bitterly: "Hahahaha...... Why is it that such a heavy palm doesn't hurt as much as my heart...... ridiculous!

In this way, Fan Li walked as if crying and smiling, and gave himself a palm from time to time.

After a while, Fan Li unconsciously walked to the "Wenfu".

Fan Li glanced at his heart and said, "How did you come to the eldest brother's house...... or hurry up, I'm ...... like this now."

At this moment, a young man with bright eyes and a lively and enthusiastic demeanor happened to walk into the gate of the "Wenfu".

Unexpectedly, after seeing Fan Li, he shouted: "Master, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time, come and play at my house?"

Fan Li said: "Wen axe...... No, I happened to be passing by, let's do it another day......"

That's right, this young man is the younger brother of "Wen Chong", "Wen Axe", and he is already thirteen years old at this time.

Wen Axe smiled: "Master, it's rare for you to come once, I can't let you run away this time!

Fan Li said: "Is your brother at home?"

Wen Axe said: "It's so late, of course it's here." ”

Fan Li said: "Okay then......"

Wen Axe took Fan Li to Wen Chong's room, and when Wen Chong saw Fan Li, he immediately said in surprise: "Brother Yi, you are here! I haven't seen you for two months, where have you been? What's wrong with you......?"

Because it was outside the gate, it was relatively dark, and Wen Axe did not find Fan Li's injuries. But in the house, under the light of the oil lamp, the wound was very clear.

Fan Li said: "Hey, I'm not in the way, this matter is a long story...... Big brother, do you have Huadiao wine? I want to drink, I want to get drunk! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight......"

Wen Chong said: "Ah Axe, you go and get wine, I will accompany my righteous brother to drink it tonight, we won't get drunk and won't return!"

Fan Li held Wen Chong's hand with both hands and said, "Okay, big brother, we won't get drunk and won't return!"

In this way, the three of them drank wine, and Fan Li recounted all his experiences with Xiao Xuelian in recent months.

"Happy and boring!?Black fan?Could it be that he is a "black fan gambling bully" and is not tired ......?" Wen Chong exclaimed.

Fan Li said: "The eldest brother is saying that this man is the "black fan gambling bully" rumored in the rivers and lakes? I seem to have heard of this person's name before, but I have never seen it. Hey, it's all because I was too affectionate, I didn't expect it to be him!"

Wen Chong said: "However, I am just guessing, and I don't dare to make full judgments. I heard that this "black fan gambling tyrant" has opened large and small "gambling houses" in various countries and raised many thugs. It is used to maintain the order of the "gambling house", and also to collect and lend "usury" to gamblers, so as to seek huge wealth. ”

Fan Li said: "This person is really hateful, just like Xuelian's father, he specializes in making this kind of black money!"

Wen Axe said puzzledly: "What is "usury"?"

Wen Chong said: ""Usury means that when the gamblers have lost all their money, the thugs of the gambling house will deliberately lend money to the gamblers to continue gambling. Their "usury" is a roll-on interest, and if you don't pay it back on time, it will get bigger and bigger. Until the gamblers can't afford it, the thugs will force them to sell their houses and fields, and sell their children and daughters to pay them back. If the gamblers refuse to sell, the thugs will beat them up until they commit suicide or are killed. ”

Wen Axe said: "Wow!? This gambling house is so terrible, I never dare to go to that kind of place in my life!"

Wen Chong said: "Well, it's good for you to know these things early, so that you can save yourself from making mistakes in the future, and you can't extricate yourself and regret it!" Wen Axe listened. Hurriedly nodded.

At this time, Wen Chong found that Fan Li was drinking wine depressedly, as if he was missing Xiao Xuelian and was distracted.

Wen Chong called Fan Li, and Fan Li said unconsciously: "What's the matter? Big brother ......"

Wen Chong said: "I really don't understand this Xiao Xuelian, the last time you told me about her, you were so excited and happy." How did it become like this this time? In terms of appearance and character, how can you compare to that black-hearted "happy and not annoying"!?"

Wen Axe said: "Yes, I don't understand, not to mention that the master has saved her life before! I think, could it be some misunderstanding? Could she have something unspeakable?"

As soon as Fan Li heard the words "unspeakable", he immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, there must be something unspeakable hidden in Snow Lotus!"

As soon as Fan Li said this, he whispered again: "However, I saw it with my own eyes......!

Wen Chong said: "Brother Yi, you still don't speculate, find a day to ask her face to face, wouldn't it be good......"

Fan Li said: "Yes, yes, I must make it clear to her, otherwise I can't let go of my heart at all......"

Wen Chong hurriedly opened the topic and said, "Well, then don't think nonsense first, let's talk about your uncle "Guiguzi", right?"

Fan Li said: "Guiguzi ......?"

Wen Chong said: "Yes, he is the originator of the Zongheng family, facing the trend of the world, as well as the crisis of the survival of the Chu State!

Fan Li said: "Oh, my uncle said that since the faint monarch of our "Chu State" cannot be assisted, then you can choose "Yue Kingdom". Because the "Yue State" has always been not in harmony with the "Wu State", if the "Yue State" can be assisted well, the "Wu State" can be restrained. In this way, my "Chu State" will not lead to the risk of destroying the country in the future!"

Wen Chong clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay! I am worthy of being the originator of the Zongheng family, and finally someone can break through the doubts in my heart." ”

Fan Li said: "Well, not only that, but Uncle Shi's martial arts are really mysterious and unfathomable......!

Wen Chong said: "But what?"

Wen Axe said: "This Guiguzi, the more you talk about it, the more divine it becomes, so much that I really want to see it!"

Fan Li said: "Okay, if I have the opportunity, I will take my eldest brother and Wen Axe, and you will all go to visit my uncle together." However, my uncle asked me not only to practice martial arts, but also to go to Qi to compete on the third day of the Lunar New Year in the coming year. If you win, you can get The Art of War. ”

Wen Chong said: "Yes, you can't optical martial arts, the art of war is also very important! "The Art of War" is in the Qi Kingdom? Could it be that Sun Tzu is a descendant of Sun Wu?"

Fan Li said: "That's right, Sun Wu's descendants are called Sun Chi, too many people want to get this "Sun Tzu's Art of War", so he wants to use this competition to resolve disputes and find capable people to give "Sun Tzu's Art of War". ”

Wen Chong said: "Well, then tomorrow I will go to Yue Guo with Wen Axe first, and after you get the Art of War, you will come to Yue Guo to find us." When the time comes, we will assist King Yue together and break into a great career together!"

Fan Li said: "Okay, no problem, everything is up to the eldest brother." But, in that unfamiliar place in Yue Kingdom, how can you get the reuse of King Yue!?"
