Chapter 33: The Dark Side of the Heart

In the distance, there was a familiar street, and the word blacksmith seemed to be written on the sign in front of a shop, but it was not clear in the night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I can't wait, I didn't expect Chibata's brother to come back so soon!"

Hou Xiaobai's heart trembled when he thought of this, he was just a scum in this city at this time, and he had no qualifications to enter the heavens, unless he immediately broke through the tenth layer and entered the inner gate, he could be safe and sound.

"That's the Border Guard!"

Although he didn't care about it on weekdays, he learned from Chi Duan's boastful mouth in the evening that in a few days, his brother would be rotated and stationed in the city.

When the time comes, you don't have to think about your fate, you will definitely be bullied to death by Chi Duan and others, and you won't be able to turn over for the rest of your life!

Thinking of this, Hou Xiaobai's heart was already as dark as ashes, but he didn't want to be restrained, he still had a chance to turn over, as long as there were enough pills and money now!

"Uncle Li! Help me one last time! ”

His gaze looked at the familiar blacksmith shop, and his eyes seemed to glow green.

Hou Xiaobai's body squatted and jumped, and he had already jumped on the eaves, deliberately tied some cotton cloth on his feet, quietly like a cat, without making the slightest sound.

He carefully removed the wooden bolt from the edge of the window, very skillfully and lightly.

"Squeak."

A slight sound of wood squeezing was so small that only Hou Xiaobai himself and Xu Fei, who was hiding behind another house, could hear it.

Seeing the black figure roll into the window, Xu Fei stood up and stared at the blacksmith shop.

"Turns out, his goal is here!"

Hou Xiaobai walked into the room lightly, although it was gentle, but the speed was not slow.

On the second floor, there are only two small rooms and a small compartment for storing precious iron.

Hou Xiaobai walked straight to the small cubicle, he knew that there was money and things hidden by Lao Li.

There were some materials in the compartment, which seemed to be disorganized, but Hou Xiaobai quietly moved away a seemingly heavy piece of iron, revealing the scene below, a hollowed-out partition with a box inside.

"The last time I catch a big one, I won't come back again!"

Hou Xiaobai thought silently in his heart, but his hand was not slow, and he opened the simple lock in three or two clicks.

Through the hazy moonlight, the objects inside were also revealed one by one, stacked silver taels, and neat jade coins.

Lao Li has been striking iron for many years, with superb skills, and in recent years, he has even been responsible for some logistics maintenance of the border guards, which is the coffin book he has saved over the years, and it is also a dowry for his daughter.

Hou Xiaobai was a little entangled in his heart, after all, Lao Li treated him well on weekdays, if he took everything at this time, did he do something? But the news of the rotation of border guards after those days was really real.

He simply took a heart and directly served the small box with the pot.

"Ding~"

Unexpectedly, there was a cotton thread connected to the bottom of the small box, the box was taken, and as soon as the cotton thread was pulled, a crisp and loud bell suddenly sounded in Lao Li's room!

"Ahh

Hou Xiaobai's heart trembled, although he came to steal a few times, but he took some broken silver from the shop on the first floor, and he knew that there was still a mechanism here, so he panicked for a while.

"Who? Who's there! ”

Lao Li had already gotten up and was coming here angrily, his hurried footsteps stepped on the plank, making a clanging sound.

Hou Xiaobai suddenly looked like a frightened beast, picked up the box and went straight to the window in a panic, eager to escape immediately.

"Daddy?" Li Yuelian was also woken up at this time, she listened to the footsteps in the house, and shouted worriedly.

"Don't worry, daughter, there are thieves in the house, I'll come when I go!"

Lao Li comforted his daughter, but his speed became faster and faster, and he rushed straight to the compartment.

He has been striking iron for many years, and he is invincible to ordinary people, and he is also a cultivator, otherwise it would be impossible to settle down here, and even have a relationship with the logistics of the border guards.

Hou Xiaobai panicked, the speed was fast, and he fled directly through the window, Lao Li also chased after him, jumped out of the windowsill with him, and the two ran one after another, and soon disappeared into the night.

Xu Fei also followed, and between the light of his steps, he floated away, keeping a distance, but he was not discovered.

Soon, Lao Li caught up with Hou Xiaobai, although his physical fitness was not as good as that of a young man, but over the years, his use of Zhenyuan had reached the level of proficiency like a hammer in his hand.

"Little cub, I knew it was you!" Lao Li's tone was very hard and full of anger.

Hou Xiaobai's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but kneel, at this time they had already left the city and arrived on a meadow, without the shelter of the house, the moonlight was very bright.

"Uncle Li, I, I was wrong! I can't help it, if I can't break through to the tenth layer, then I'm dead! ”

His voice was crying, tears streaming down his cheeks, and the box in his hand was lowered to the ground.

"Smack!"

Lao Li slapped Hou Xiaobai in the face fiercely, although he was doing nonsense on weekdays, but this time, he actually took the dowry he prepared for his daughter!

"You brute! Who told you to rely on your own talent on weekdays, and wantonly bully them, can't you calm down and earn money by yourself! ”

Hou Xiaobai cried again, he knelt down and hugged Lao Li's thigh, looking like he was beating and scolding, but Lao Li had nowhere to start.

He lost his parents when he was young, and he grew up on help on weekdays, and Lao Li would take care of him on weekdays.

"Forget it, let's go! Go far away, just don't be found by them! ”

It's not that he is unwilling to help Hou Xiaobai, but he has more than enough heart and strength, the money in the small box seems to be a lot, but if he wants to break through the tenth layer in a short time, he must buy the poison removal pill that is only available in the inner door to ensure that he can take enough pills.

His daughter is married to the son of Yangfu, if the dowry is too small, it is inevitable that she will be wronged, and Hou Xiaobai is just an outsider, compared with the two, of course Lao Li will not give up his daughter's happiness for him.

When Hou Xiaobai heard this, he also understood the extraneous voice, and in his tearful eyes, a trace of cruelty was emerging.

He quietly puffed up Zhenyuan and slapped Lao Li's lower abdomen hard.

"Poof!"

Lao Li couldn't reach it, and was slumped on the ground by a palm, spurting some blood from his mouth.

"You! Livestock...... Bear! ”

He raised his fingers tremblingly, the palm was heavy, and he had no strength to resist.

Hou Xiaobai stood up, with tears and snot on his face, but he didn't see the sadness at all, and his eyes were full of madness.

"Old thing! Just help me once! Why can't you just help me once! ”

His voice was hoarse after crying, but it had a high-spirited momentum, as if it was the right thing to help him between his words.

He approached slowly, Lao Li's eyes were full of resentment, the young man in front of him had changed greatly, or rather, this was his true face, hateful, he couldn't see through it earlier.

Hou Xiaobai raised his palm, Zhenyuan agitated, and slapped it directly at the people on the ground.

"Huh"

A sound of breaking the air came, and a purple glow penetrated his palm, piercing the true yuan he urged like a balloon.
