Huo Zuo came back soon after.

When he arrived home before and after the summer, he was wearing a breathable long linen shirt and holding You Yiman in his hand. Shen Yigong waited in front of the door early when he heard the news, and when he saw Huo Zuo, his heart sank, thinking that Changyu was ordered to take him to the suburbs, and he must have known the final outcome even if he was in the field.

You Yiman and Huo Zuo hugged each other at the door, and put them on their cheeks like Westerners. Before parting, she glanced at Huo Zuo's apprentice: "Yo, look at this child, the longer he grows, the taller he gets, it's really good." What do you think I'm talking about? Xiao Huo, you should thank me for giving you the opportunity to bring this apprentice back. ”

Huo Zuo took off his hat and handed it to Mother Xu, just between Shen Yigong and her: "You were in a hurry to wait for me to settle accounts with you about that last time, right?" ”

"What are you going to do, I don't know what you're talking about. Settle accounts with me? If they help you, you still have to talk to me harshly. In this way, I brought this little brother to my store to play in two days. You Yiman turned his head as he spoke, looked at Huo Zuoleng's face, and deliberately smiled at Shen Yigong, "Good nephew, is it still a child?" ”

"You Yiman, you're enough."

Hearing Huo Zuo say this, she stopped talking and waved her hand at him with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't laugh at your apprentice." Let's go! ”

And he went out.

Huo Zuo heard the sound of the car at the door, and said to Shen Yigong: "Don't look at it, I really want to go and take you next time." ”

"That's not what I meant."

"If you want to move, the master doesn't disagree, and he's going to be an eighteen-year-old anyway." Huo Zuo seemed to be in a good mood and could make a few jokes. He glanced Shen Yigong up and down, and commented: "The knife is practiced every day. ”

"The disciple doesn't dare to slack off."

The two of them walked to the practice room together. Entering the house, Huo Zuo flexed his wrist, took off the double knife and Shen Yibow, and said, "Wear protective gear." ”

Shen Yigong took a leather cushion with a rope on the left and right and tied it to his throat, and then also held the bladeless knife and set up a position in the center.

The two figures of the master and apprentice moved, and the two knives collided together with a "bang-" sound. With force on the shoulder, the waist and hips were twisted, from top to bottom, the knives of the two of them slashed left and right very quickly, and the knives of the two collided together again and again, and quickly separated. Shen Yigong gradually couldn't resist Huo Zuo's offensive, but he still held his breath and stormed over, Huo Zuo was calm, stepped on his calf with one foot, and kicked him in the abdomen with the other foot.

This time it was fierce enough, Shen Yigong's whole body took a few steps back, and finally he wanted to lift the knife again, Huo Zuo waved the blade and landed on the tip of his nose, looking at him from top to bottom: "Get up." ”

Shen held back his strength and rushed over again. Huo Zuo's knife became heavier and heavier, and his speed became faster and faster. Shen Yigong was once again beaten to the ground. He still stretched out his blade, and his tone remained unchanged: "Get up." ”

Arms, shoulders, legs, waist and abdomen, the strength of Huo's left lower hand did not converge at all, and Shen Yigong was bruised. There was another round of fighting, he pressed Shen Yi's bow arm to the ground, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he still said: "Get up." ”

As long as Huo Zuo didn't stop, Shen Yigong would stand up again and attack him no matter how painful it was. Huo Zuo hit him in the stomach with a knife handle, and the young man vomited blood, and the man suddenly reacted, and the two knives fell to the ground, and his whole person took a step back.

Both of them were panting at this time, Shen Yigong held the knife and refused to let go, and when he saw Huo Zuo retreating, he hurriedly shouted: "I'm fine, I can continue to fight, Master!" ”

Afraid of his reproach, he stood up. Huo Zuo closed his eyes and pointed to his neck: "Count it yourself, there are a few knives on the neck." ”

Shen Yigong hurriedly took off the leather rope around his neck, and there were four horizontal lines on it.

"How could it be ......?"

"By the time you react, you'll be dead. This is the knife, and the knife is not just for you to hide in its sheath. The man hid the look on his face, didn't ask Shen Yigong to take a closer look, turned around and sat down on the rattan chair. Shen Yigong's heart sank to the bottom, thinking that men still have to mention the suburbs.

Huo Zuo lit a cigarette and smoked it, waited for the smoke to dissipate, and said to Shen Yigong, "In two days, there will be a hall in Huangpu, which is the sixteenth shop on the side of Suzhou Creek." ”

Hearing the name of the place, Shen Yigong hurriedly raised his head.

Huo Zuo said: "There are a few thorns, you know better from there." ”

"Yes."

"Pack up tomorrow and stay there for the time being, you don't have to come back."

Shen Yigong picked up the knives on the ground, Huo Zuo lay on the rattan chair and said, "Let's open the blades, remember, it's only three things." ”

It's no more than three.

Until Shen Yigong walked out of the practice room, Huo Zuo didn't say anything else. It's time for the knife to be sharpened, it can't be like this all the time, and it's time to really see blood. Huo Zuo put the cigarette in his mouth and looked at the roof alone.

Within a few days, Shen Yigong packed up his things and returned to the Suzhou Creek, he knew that Huo Zuo's arrangement was nothing more than to understand these things between their master and apprentice. It's been a year, and a year ago he still remembers how his mother died on this cold ground. When he came back, the entrance to the casino hall by the Suzhou Creek was still there, and he took the sharpened knife with him, and when he walked to the door, his steps hesitated slightly.

Is it time for him to kill?

But after this hesitation, he still stepped on the steps and asked, "Is Brother Sheng here?" ”

Revenge must be avenged, and every time he practiced the knife throughout the year, he remembered the face of this old bastard in his mind. This incident sustained him to continue to hold on after being injured and beaten.

He had to know why he picked up the knife. He followed Huo Zuo to wait for this day, waiting for him to be able to knot the other party with his two double knives.

Because of the name of the Blue Dragon Club, the owner of the gambling hall soon came. Shen Yigong led people to stand in the front hall. Seeing Brother Sheng again, the other party obviously didn't recognize him, he only knew that it was someone from the Qinglong Society, so he hurriedly came up and handed him a cigarette: "Brother is going to come sooner, why don't you come sooner, where is it worth your special rush to come over in such a remote place." ”

That's the face, it's this rotten person. It was he who kicked him in the head that night, and then grabbed a handful of change from his money bag and threw it into the mud.

Shen Yigong raised his eyes and looked at his face: "Brother Sheng, I haven't seen you for a year, you don't know me anymore." ”

The man's face froze suddenly.

"Yes." Shen Yigong took out a few copper coins from his pocket and took a deep breath. He warned himself over and over again in his mind that this was the day you were waiting for, and that it was time for them to pay off their debts.

He slowly sprinkled those copper coins on the ground in front of his brother, squeezed out a sneer, and imitated Huo Zuo's usual expression: "When I picked up the money, my face was covered with mud and blood, of course you can't recognize it at this time." ”

Shen ...... Shen Yigong. ”

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and pretended to say loudly: "Your gambling hall will be counted as the entrance of the Blue Dragon Club from today." ”

Of course, Brother Sheng will not be afraid of this stinky kid in front of him, but as soon as the name of the Blue Dragon Society comes out, even if he is not afraid, he can only say in a trembling voice: "Okay!" No problem! I...... I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you! ”

Shen Yigong looked at his cowardly and disgusting face, and after a few hesitations, his hand finally pressed on the knife, and he was ruthless in his heart, and said: "Since someone is in charge, then you don't need to be the boss." ”

The other party knew that if Shen Yigong came, he would never be good. The blood of the boy's parents stuck to his hands, saying nothing that could not be washed clean. His mind turned quickly, and without saying a word, he knelt down neatly and begged for mercy first: "The previous thing was that I was sorry for you, I was a beast, I shouldn't be, but I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child to support, and there is no way to do these things." ”

Shen Yigong had already raised his knife at that time, but when he opened his mouth like this, his hands couldn't help but tremble again.

"One bow, one bow, you are a good boy, I know that I was not good at the beginning, I killed your father and forced your mother to death. My fault, it's all my fault. Brother Sheng said as he began to slap himself in the face, "You should kill me, I can't die well, I can't die well!" ”

"You stand up and talk again!"

"Where dare I stand up? I am a sinner, a bow, I will kowtow to you, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistakes! ”

"You stand up!"

After he said this, a few guys sent by Huo Zuo to follow him behind him rushed up and directly dragged Brother Sheng up from the ground. Brother Sheng also shouted when he saw this battle: "Please go around me, big brother!" Big brother, please spare me. ”

Shen Yigong shouted: "Let him go!" ”

As soon as those people let go, the man's legs were weak and he had to kneel down again. Shen Yigong finally stopped hesitating this time and went directly to the killer. He was resentful in his heart, why did his father and mother die at the hands of such a shameless wicked person? Even if he has a little shame, even if he is standing in front of himself......

Brother Sheng still wanted to forgive, but suddenly felt a cold in his lower abdomen. Then my throat hurt.

Shen Yigong moved a total of two knives, one was stabbed slowly, directly into Brother Sheng's stomach, the other knife went fast, and the blood slowly oozing out when he cut his throat. As he fell, the young man pulled his knife out of him with a frown, and said angrily, "Why are you such an animal? Why is it you, you are such a dog, who killed my father and my mother! ”

The people around saw the blood and scattered. The blood finally squeezed out the knife marks, splashed out, and sprinkled Shen Yigong's body. Shen Yigong retreated in pain, and when he reacted, the person had already lost his breath. He seemed to wake up from a dream, and stood there fixedly, not knowing what to do.

He thought for a moment, then turned to the brother who had come with him and said, "I'll leave this to you first." I...... I'm going to meet someone. ”

The bastard in the casino died, and the patrol didn't bother to care, and the body of the living brother fell on the ground in front of the hall, and the blood trickled down the steps and seeped into the mud. When Shen Yigong walked out of the casino, the sun outside in late summer and early autumn shone on his toes, he looked down at the blood on the knife, and muttered, "Mother...... I, this is to avenge you. ”

He returned to Huo's house in a daze, knelt in front of Huo Zuo and put the knife on his lap. Huo Zuo sat on his sandalwood Taishi chair, holding tea in his hand.

Shen Yigong said, "Master, from today onwards, I can kill people. ”

Huo Zuo didn't raise his eyes: "From today on, you don't have to be my disciple anymore." The great revenge is avenged, where is there any need for you to kill. ”

Shen Yigong raised his head and hurriedly said, "I can do it." I've had blood on my hands and won't be afraid anymore. ”

"It's just killing the enemy."

"Master?"

"I'll go to Xu's mother to get money in a while, and go back to my hometown to find a business, here in Shanghai, don't come again." After that, Huo Zuo put down the tea and stood up, "You are no longer my apprentice." ”

Shen Yigong panicked: "Master, Master, I can do anything, I have followed you this year, and I feel that I am still alive only when I am by your side." Master! ”

"Shen Yigong, I said it, it's not more than three. If it weren't for your revenge, I would have driven you away last time. ”

"Master?"

"This big Shanghai is full of brutes, you should be a good man."

"No, I'm not leaving!" Shen Yigong rushed over and hugged Huo Zuo's leg, "Even if it's just to make a dog for Master, I beg you...... Please, don't want me. ”

"Don't go crazy. Killing people is not child's play, killing ordinary people and killing enemies are two different things, and now that you have revenge, what are you still pestering me for? ”

"I ......"

"If you want money, I'll give you money, find a way to marry a wife in the future and live a good life, can't you?"

"I just want to stay with Master."

Shen Yigong's pleading appearance did not impress Huo Zuo in the slightest. Huo Zuo looked down at him, suddenly lowered his voice and asked him: "It turns out that you want to be by my side for revenge." So now...... And what are you for? ”

This question knocked Shen Yigong down. He raised his head and looked at Huo Zuo in a daze, and couldn't say an answer for a while.

It happened that someone came to report that Miss You was coming to urge her in the store. Huo Zuo's face changed, and he directly kicked Shen Yigong away, took his hat and put it on, and walked away without looking back.
