In mid-July 1917, Lin Fengjiao, Huang Sheng, Qiusheng and others killed Shi Jian, the head of Maoshan, and the Maoshan faction issued a wanted warrant for the three of them.

In late July 1917, many strange people and strangers in the "Taoist Supplies Exchange Meeting" in Chen Village, Xujia Town, were lured by the heavy profits on the wanted list of Daomen, and went to the Dashuai Mansion together in a vain attempt to arrest Huang Sheng, but they were defeated and all of them were killed. The major sects shook.

At the beginning of August 1917, in order to obtain cultivation resources for his disciples, the Master of Yuan Gu in Jindansan, Miaojiang, infiltrated the Great Marshal's Mansion, and was discovered, fighting with Huang Sheng, half of the Great Marshal's Mansion collapsed, most of the servants were killed and wounded, and the Master of Yuan Gu and Huang Sheng were both defeated, and the Master of Yuan Gu fled. As soon as the news came out, the whole door was in an uproar. The various sects began to really pay attention to Huang Sheng.

On August 8, 1917, the governor of the provincial capital announced a crusade against Huang Sheng on the grounds that Huang Sheng had murdered Xu Dashuai and conspired to usurp the throne.

On August 13, 1917, the former captain of Xu Dashuai's personal army, and now the director of the Xujia Town Supervision Bureau, defected, in a vain attempt to cooperate with the provincial army.

On August 15, 1917, when the full moon was spent, the provincial army attacked, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses in Xujia Town struggled to support, and the key event, 18 mysterious people suddenly appeared, with their fierce and fearless style, greatly impacted the provincial camp, it was night, the provincial army was defeated, and the morale of the army in Xujia Town was high.

On August 18, 1917, strange people came to the aid of the provincial army, and the provincial army attacked again. At that time, a fire broke out in the Marshal's Mansion, Huang Sheng and other relevant personnel all disappeared, and the army of Xujiazhen surrendered under the leadership of Xiao Bu, director of the Public Security Bureau.

When it was, someone in the Dao Sect estimated Huang Sheng's whereabouts, but the sky was chaotic and could not be calculated.

The wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed.

Huang Sheng and the others never appeared again, and the Daomen searched for a long time but didn't find it, and slowly, this matter faded away, only some people with ulterior motives were still tirelessly looking for Huang Sheng, Lin Fengjiao and others.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Happy Town, located at the junction of Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, because of its remote location, the war and strife outside have not affected here for the time being, so the people here are simple, no coastal areas are open, and they are relatively peaceful.

However, because of its remote location, the economy here is underdeveloped, and the people live in the upper and lower levels of food and clothing, and the houses are basically mud houses.

Early in the morning, a young man dressed in gray and a short suit, riding a tan horse, walked through the dirt and stone streets, and stopped not far from a roadside vendor selling rouge gouache and ornaments.

In front of this roadside vendor, there are two beautiful young girls, who pick and choose and joke with each other.

One of them, wearing a lilac pattern shirt on the top, a red skirt on the bottom, and silver earrings on the ears, has a delicate appearance with a hint of coquettishness.

The other, with a white skirt, a goose egg face, picturesque eyebrows, and a smile like a flower.

When the young man stopped his horse, he noticed that the two women were only playing and did not notice him, so he made a "shhhh

The two girls really noticed him, gave him a blank look, as if they didn't see him, and turned their heads to look at the rouge gouache.

The young man refused to give up, rode to the two women, and said to the woman in lilac with a flattering smile, "Fleur, take you on horseback shopping." ”

The woman in white raised her head, squinted at him, and said, "It's so cheeky to ask a girl on the street." ”

When the young man heard this, he said funny, "I didn't ask you out, why are you so nervous, Fleur." ”

The lilac-clothed woman known as Fleur finally spoke, and glanced at the young man, "You, it's rude to talk to Miss Ben without getting off the horse." ”

Don't look over the shoulders.

The young man suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Yes, happy to forget." ”

So saying, he got off his horse and leaned over to Fleur.

Looking at these rouge gouaches, the man smiled and asked, "Fleur, do you use these things too?" ”

When the woman in white heard this, she lifted it with the young man and asked him, "Is it strange that a woman is proud of those who please herself?" ”

When the young man heard this, he looked at Fleur, cheeky, and smiled, "No wonder my heart is beating so fast?" So you have a crush on me? ”

When Fleur heard this, she stopped talking to the woman in white, turned around, and angrily accused the young man, "I'm not ashamed, when did I say I liked you?" ”

"Sixteen years ago!" The young man looked at Fleur tenderly, but replied without pause.

Fleur immediately retorted, "There is no medicine doctor for lying, I didn't know how to speak at that time." ”

The young man immediately smiled and said, "Your heart speaks! ”

The woman in white couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a prickly voice, "If you don't buy something, don't get in the way of us, okay?" ”

As soon as the young man heard this, his eyes rolled, and he was about to fight back against the woman in white, but unexpectedly, a crisp girl's voice came from behind them, "Shame, shame, the fifteenth brother wants to chase the girl, and he doesn't buy anything for others?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they all turned around, and saw not far behind them, a little girl of eight or nine years old, with a lovely appearance, with two sheeptails, smooth and delicate skin, wearing clothes of good texture, with a red rope on her chest, and a triangular yellow charm tied to the red rope.

She was looking at them with a smug expression.

When the two women saw the little girl, their faces were full of joy, and they waved at her, signaling her to come over, and at the same time, Fleur asked with a smile, "Lan Xin, is that you?" Come here. ”

The little girl, known as Lan Xin, nodded, and trotted to the middle of the two women.

The woman in white gently pinched Lan Xin's little face, and asked with a smile, "Little Lan Xin, why are you free today?" Didn't you say that you were going to study books recently? ”

"Reading is so boring, I sneaked out." Lan Xin looked left and right, like a little fox, and then whispered.

"Oh, so you absconded! Be careful I tell your parents. The two girls hadn't spoken yet, and just now after eating Lan Xin's fifteen, they pointed at Lan Xin and said with a wicked smile.

"Humph! Just say it! Who's afraid of whom! "Lan Xin is a wild girl, not to be outdone, she stares at fifteen with her head held high.

"Really? Okay, then I'll go talk about it now. If your parents knew that you had skipped class again......... Fifteen looked at Lan Xin and smiled.

Lan Xin was obviously a little panicked, her eyes rolled, and she said, "You won't see my dad anyway." ”

Lan Xin's family came to this town five years ago.

After arriving, he bought a house facing the street and started a rice shop for a living.

Rice shops buy and sell at a low price, no matter the famine year, they do not take the opportunity to raise prices and reduce prices, so that the people in the town are full of praise, and in the past few years, they have gained a lot of good reputation.

It's just strange that this rice shop only comes forward to run two women's families.

One is Lan Xin's mother, the proprietress of the rice shop, and a very tasteful young woman who calls herself Xu Ting.

Another woman, also in her twenties, is called Qian Mary, dressed in a trendy manner, although her appearance is not as good as Xu Ting, but she also has a unique taste, in the simple folk customs, relatively feudal happy town, is an unconventional existence.

Furong's eldest brother Bian Guoqiang, the only doctor in the medical hall in Happy Town, a good person who hangs a pot to help the world, and is kind and charitable, has always had a soft spot for Qian Mary, and he runs to patronize the business of the rice shop every once in a while, and the drunkard does not mean to drink.

It's a pity that the man is affectionate, and the woman has no intention, and Mary Qian didn't react to this, but it made Furong's eldest brother almost lovesick.

However, the frequent purchase of rice is not without gains, but it makes Lan Xin, the only daughter of the rice shop owner, very close to them.

In addition to these two people, the rice shop also has a loyal and resolute guy named Huang Tianding.

Three years ago, the proprietress Xu Ting found a good family for Huang Tianding in Kuaihuo Town, helped him marry a wife, and bought him a property in Kuaihuo Town, and purchased a rich dowry.

A year ago, Huang Tianding gave birth to a son named Huang Shouzhong.

But this is not the strangest thing about this family, the strangest thing is that Lan Xin's father, the so-called head of the family, shows up very rarely, so little that he can count it by hand.

They also asked Lan Xin, and Lan Xin said that his father was always reading at home and was reluctant to go out.

As for more, I can't ask from Lan Xin's mouth, every time I talk about it here, I just talk about it left and right, or I just said that I went home and ran away.

After a long time, the more they stopped asking, they secretly guessed that there might be something unspeakable.

But I can't say that it's ugly.

There was once a ruffian in the town who wanted to bully this outsider and extort some money, but it provoked Lan Xin's father, and that night, seven or eight ruffians were broken hands and feet, and lay in the infirmary of Brother Furong for more than half a month, and since then few ruffians have dared to make trouble in the rice shop.
