Chapter 7: The Eve
Looking at Che Zhenshan's tall back gradually moving away, Lin Kong was very conflicted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He found that behind Che Zhenshan's kindness, there seemed to be an unknown face hidden, which may be the reason for Lin Kong's hesitation.
For a person who couldn't see clearly, Lin Kong felt that proper precautions were necessary.
Closing the door and listening to the footsteps in the courtyard from time to time, and the sound of "whooshing" wind, Lin Kong's heart was extremely confused.
Lin Kong stood up several times and walked to the door, intending to hand over the beads to Che Zhenshan, but in the end he retreated.
"I didn't hand it over just now, if I hand over the beads now, will Che Zhenshan believe me?" Lin Kong felt that if he handed over the beads now, even if Che Zhenshan believed him on the surface, he would secretly think that he had stolen it, and he had a bad heart!
"Alas! Never mind. This kind of hoodoo, even if it cannot be exchanged for gold and silver, and it cannot see the light, it will be a scourge to carry it with you sooner or later, and it is best to find an opportunity to throw it away. After thinking about it, Lin Kong finally left the beads, ready to find an opportunity to quietly throw them away and help Che Zhenshan eliminate this hidden danger, so as to repay Che Zhenshan's kindness.
After making up his mind, Lin Kong didn't think much about it, found a long strip of cloth, wrapped the beads around his waist, and went to bed by himself no matter how he tossed outside.
It was easy for this man to fall asleep as soon as he was careful not to have distractions, and it was not until it was dawn that Lin Kong was awakened by the chirping of birds.
Chefu is like nothing happened, Che Zhenshan is like the past, practicing in the backyard early in the morning, and the subordinates are busy one by one, doing their own things, as if everything that happened last night is just a dream.
Lin Kong raised his wrist, and the bruised place only left a light red mark at the moment, as if he was in the wrong posture when sleeping, resulting in poor blood flow, a little soreness, and no pain.
"Have I really eaten psychic fruit? That green plant, is it really its branches? "Even if he really took the psychic fruit, it must have been after falling off the cliff, but at that time, Lin Kong was in a coma, who helped him take the fruit?
Lin Kong remembered that after he woke up, he only had the half of the black snake's body in his hand, and there was not even an ant around him except for the green onion-like thing, and what happened during the coma became a new mystery.
"If you have a chance, you must go back to the Falling Dragon Cliff to have a look." After thinking about it for a while, Lin Kong felt that if he wanted to find out the truth, he had to go back to that rock to find clues.
However, now is not the time, he must urgently find Steward Wu and ask for some medicine to treat bruises, to cover up his miraculous recovery power, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble.
Having this unimaginable resilience, on the bright side, may bring unexpected good fortune, and from then on, you will soar and live a rich life, and you will no longer have to be bullied.
On the contrary, if those with bad intentions are discovered, maybe he will become a medicine in the Dan furnace and be cut by a thousand knives, because he is still just a lowly slave.
Although Lin Kong is only thirteen years old, his life experience is more bumpy than many adults, he knows the cruelty of this world, and he understands the truth of the strong eating the weak, before there is absolute strength, any unexpected surprise can turn into a tragedy in an instant.

Steward Wu lived in the first room of the West Wing, close to the main hall of Chefu, and he was making tea when Lin Kong arrived.
"Knock knock!"
Lin Kong knocked lightly on the door three times, and did not walk in directly because the door was open, nor did he make a sound to disturb, and he was extremely polite.
"Lin Kong!" Steward Wu raised his head when he heard this, and his face was surprised: "Is there anything wrong with looking for me so early?" ”
"Wu Laozao, my little wrist twisted, and I came to ask for some medicine to reduce swelling and stasis, and I bother you!"
"Seriously? Let me see. Hearing that Lin Kong's wrist was injured, Steward Wu hurriedly put down the teapot and stepped forward to check: "Sprains can be big or small, and if you don't make trouble, you will fall into old diseases, don't be careless." ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the lord has already seen it, and said that it will be fine if you take some medicine here, and it is not serious. Lin Kong was afraid that Steward Wu would see his wrist, so he hurriedly put his hand behind him.
"Oh, since the master has seen it, it must not be a big problem, you stay here for a while, I will send the tea to the master first, and I will help you get the medicine when I get back."
"Okay, thank you Elder Wu!"
"Hmm!"
Steward Wu nodded with satisfaction, strode out of the door with tea, and soon came to the backyard.
During this period of time, the backyard is the practice place of Che Zhenshan, except for Steward Wu, no one is allowed to enter without authorization, so the trivial things such as serving tea and water will fall on Steward Wu.
"Sir, the tea is ready."
"Well, put it on the table." Che Zhenshan was full of steaming heat, slowly stood up, and said, "There's nothing to do here, let's go busily." ”
"Yes."
Steward Wu put down the tea and retreated, but as soon as he took two steps, he seemed to think of something again, turned around and said: "Master, Lin Kong said that his hand was sprained, and he was looking for medicine to reduce swelling and stasis, and he said, ......"
"Oh, I told him to come to you." Before Steward Wu finished speaking, Che Zhenshan interrupted him and said, "Go back and get him a few pieces of anti-stasis cream to heal, this child's body is very strange, not so fragile as it seems, you can rest assured." ”
After Che Zhenshan finished speaking, he drank the tea by himself, and after two cups of stomach, he found that Steward Wu had not left, and asked strangely, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Master, when Lin Kong was looking for the old slave just now, he knocked on the door and was found by the old slave, I suspect ......"
"Do you suspect that he has practiced martial arts?" Che Zhenshan put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and asked, "You must be too careful, Lin Kong's meridians are not smooth, how can he have practiced martial arts?" ”
The old slave was also very puzzled, but his steps were indeed very light, almost silent.
"If that's the case, then it's kind of interesting. Don't alarm him yet, as if he doesn't know anything, but the old man wants to see how many secrets he is hiding. ”
"Master, could that thing be ......?"
"It shouldn't have anything to do with him, after he fell asleep last night, the old man sent someone to search again, but he didn't find it."
"And who would it be?"
"You don't have to worry about this, tomorrow I will take Lin Kong and Che Wu to the barracks, it is estimated that I will stay in the barracks for a while, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you, and you must not let outsiders know about the theft."
"Sir, don't worry, the old slave will handle the affairs of the house properly, and there is no need to worry about it."
"Well, there's really nothing to worry about with you in the old man, if there is nothing else, you can go down first."
"Yes!"
Watching Steward Wu walk out of the backyard, Che Zhenshan sat down again, picked up the teacup and pondered silently.
"The whole mansion, the only people who know about that thing are the insider and Steward Wu, and the rest of the people haven't even seen the secret room, is it ......" Che Zhenshan's face became more and more cold as he thought in his heart, and in the end, he showed a trace of murderous aura.
"This thing is related to the lives of tens of millions of people, no matter who steals it, the old man will never allow it to appear in front of the world."
Thinking of this, Che Zhenshan couldn't help but clench his fists, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Come on, send an order to Jiang Zhou, from now on, send someone to find it secretly, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, it must be found." ”
"Whoa!"
"Oh, also, send two people to monitor Steward Wu and Lin Kong, and if they find anything abnormal, report it to the old man immediately."
"Whoa!"
The person who was called into the backyard by Che Zhenshan was actually the house slave that Lin Kong had seen since he woke up that day-Laifu.
If Lin Kong saw this scene, then he would have to re-examine Chefu.
It's a pity that Lin Kong didn't know anything about it, and after getting the anti-stasis cream prepared by Steward Wu, he turned around and returned to the guest room.
In the following days, Chefu was unusually calm, Che Wu may have been preparing to travel, but did not show up, the black cat and the bald mouse also disappeared, and everything up and down the house was the same, and there was no clue at all.
If there is one thing that is different, it is that Lin Kong always feels that there are a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, even when he eats and sleeps.
"Could it be that Che Zhenshan became suspicious of me and secretly sent someone to monitor me?" Lin Kong had a bad premonition in his heart, and he felt that this was the case nine times out of ten.
Lin Kong originally planned to throw the beads into the pit when he went to the toilet, but in the end he didn't dare to act rashly.
Time passed quickly, and in a flash it was time to go to the barracks.
Unlike those countries that were at war, Lan Lingguo did not have any large troops stationed in the city except for the city guards.
The reason is that the city is too small to accommodate so many troops, there is really no way, and there is the fear that the soldiers will disturb the people and affect the people's livelihood, so the military camps are far away from the city.
There are three cities in Wucheng County, in addition to Gufeng City, there are also Baimu City and Wuyun City. The three cities are the smallest, but also the most important. Because it is bordered by the Baiyun Sea in the east, the wilderness in the south, and the Burning Heaven Kingdom in the west, its geographical location is very special.
The Baiyun Sea is vast and boundless, reaching the western part of the Lingyun Continent, there are many islands on the sea, bandits are rampant, and many people dare not go to sea alone, for fear of encountering pirates.
The wilderness is complex, adjacent to many countries, with high mountains and dense forests, countless poisonous snakes and beasts, and it is said that there are also demon beasts, which are regarded as forbidden areas for mortals.
As for the Burning Heaven Kingdom in the west, that was the focus of Lan Lingguo's precautions, not only because the Burning Heaven Kingdom was far stronger than Lan Lingguo, but mainly because the people of this country were ruthless and courageous, and they were never restless.
Therefore, Wucheng County stationed most of its troops in the territory of Gufeng City, and the location of the Kurosaki Army camp was located in the Langqi Grand Canyon, which was not far from the border with the Burning Heaven Kingdom.
Langli Grand Canyon is nearly a month's distance from Gufeng City, the road is rugged, uneven, very difficult to walk, even if the horse is fast, day and night, it takes more than ten days to go back and forth.
I don't know what Che Zhenshan thought, and he didn't prepare a carriage for Che Wu, but only brought a few war horses, and let Lin Kong and others follow him on the road.
Needless to say, the parting scene was unavoidable, Mrs. Che couldn't help but burst into tears, reluctantly, and repeatedly advised.
But what made Lin Kong speechless the most was that Che Wu actually brought the black cat with him, and he really regarded it as a god who came back to life, and he kept it with him all the time!
In addition to this, he was accompanied by a house slave named Laifu and five guards with knives.
A group of nine people and nine horses, with a mule full of goods, left Gufeng City and went straight to the camp of the Kurosaki army.
As soon as they left the city, a one-eyed man dressed as a man hurriedly ran into the Dechun Building in the west of the city.
"My lord, it's out of town! Out of town! The one-eyed man came to the private room on the second floor, panting, and stood outside the door to report to the house.
The private room was very quiet, and after a while, a hoarse voice came out: "Got it, go to Manager Liu to receive the reward." ”
"Multi-...... Thank you, sir! ”
The one-eyed man looked happy and was about to retreat, but the hoarse voice sounded again: "Slow! ”
"What else do you have to say?"
"How many people are there and how many guards do they bring?"
"Lord Hui, in addition to Che Zhenshan's father and son, there are two house slaves with him, accompanied by five guards with knives, and a mule with camel goods."
"Very well, there's nothing for you here, let's go down."
"Yes!"
The one-eyed man ran downstairs and let out a long sigh of relief, only then did he realize that the clothes behind his back were soaked with cold sweat and felt cold.
