Until late at night, it was already dark and there was no light on the Zhuangzi, and the poultry in the village's house seemed to be afraid of the cold winter, hiding in the nest and not moving.

There was no sound on the silver-covered village, only the little boy was still looking at the roof with his eyes open.

Soon after, the little boy lifted the quilt and got out of bed, slowly dressed, gently pushed the door open and came out, and then gently closed the door. He looked at the hut in front of him, and his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he thought of how good Li Laosi and the woman had been to him before. The scenes of the past flashed in his mind again and again, and he thought of the scene when he first arrived here and saw the woman and Li Laosi......

It's been two years now, but everything has changed. The little boy thought of the moment, Li Laosi and the woman were going to sell him to the royal family that was like hell. He listened to the young master's words in the Wang family and didn't believe it in a thousand ways, but when he thought of the scene when he returned home, his slightly swollen eyes flowed tears at one time, and the scars left by the young master of the Wang family on his body were less than one ten-millionth of the pain in his heart.

The reason why a seven-year-old boy can persist in the Wang family until now, the only motivation in his heart is because Li Laosi and his wife are usually so kind to him and take meticulous care of him. He thought that although he didn't have much money to be a scholar, he did what he could for the family and did everything he could.

The little boy's only belief at this time that supported him to walk down scarred fell to the ground, he didn't know what to do, the only thing he thought of was to escape, just like he had left the imperial capital, away from this Zhuangzi.

He didn't think about what would happen to this Zhuangzi Li Laosi and the woman after he left.

Also for a seven-year-old boy where to think of these.

The little boy kowtowed three times in front of the hut and walked in the opposite direction of the town. His footsteps left one footprint after another on the snow-covered road, but they were covered in snow as soon as they opened.

In the early morning, the chickens on the Zhuangzi have already begun to report the beginning of a new day to the people in the Zhuangzi. Normally, at this time, the little boy had already started to make porridge on the fire and make breakfast for Li Laosi and the woman, but today there was no sound.

The fourth child and the woman got up and felt the difference from the past.

"It's also bitter, this kid is going to Master Wang's mansion today, but fortunately, I heard him say that Master Wang's family treats him well. You go and wake up your child, and after breakfast, go with him. The woman said with a sad look on her face.

Li Laosi walked in the direction of the little boy's house, but it was already empty, so he shouted in panic.

"Little Wind...... Little Wind ....... It's gone. ”

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly came and touched the already cold bedding, and said in a panic.

"How is that good...... How is that good...... You go to the Zhuangzi and look for it......"

Li Laosi went out and searched for a long time in the Zhuangzi, but there was no trace of the little boy for a long time.

"How is that good...... How should I explain to Master Wang......"

“......”

The little boy walked in the snow for two days and two nights, looking at the scene along the way, his eyes lost the sparkle of the past.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the little boy looked at a lone bird in the tree, and his thoughts flew into the distance like a bird.

It watched the sunset from the trees that stained the sky, and it was desperate at this time. It doesn't know where its desperation comes from. It wanted to spread its wings like an eagle, and it flew desperately for it, but it didn't realize how ridiculous it was until it flew over the stream and saw the reflection in the water. It appears in a different place every day, repeating the same life, and it doesn't know where to go next. Because it felt like it was in a cage, trying to fly but standing still. It wanted to end its life, when it mustered up the courage to crash into a big tree, and it fell under the tree, but it was still alive only with a wounded wing. It wanted to flap its wings to fly, but it couldn't move the wings that allowed it to fly in the sky, and then it remembered the past.

The little boy remembered a sentence he had read in a book when he was a student at the academy

'If you don't have the power to change the world, you should go with the flow.' ’

yes, we've finally become the same person we hated at the beginning.

The little boy's eyes suddenly regained their former luster and became more determined.

The little boy was already hungry, and he looked at his surroundings, the wide road was covered with snow, as if it was an official road. But now that the snow is falling, there is still a little shadow of people on the road.

The little boy on the official road seems to be a point on this long road, so small.

The little boy looked at a straw hut not far away, and there were only two or three tables in it, and the little boy walked over there, and when he came closer, there was only one little servant busy there.

"Go, go, I'm freezing to death on such a cold day, and I don't give you anything to eat. The little boy looked at the dusty servant and said in disgust without a trace of blood on his face.

"If any guests are eating here, give me the rest. The little boy said.

"Hehe, what you think is quite beautiful, this cold day, if you want to wait here, just wait. Don't wait until you're dead and no one collects your body, and I'm going to have to go through the trouble of dragging you out. When he heard this, the little boy found a remote corner and crouched down and curled up, so unobtrusive.

When night had completely fallen, and two lanterns had been hung outside the hut, as if the only light in the radius of a few miles, two figures came from a distance, dressed in black, and completely blended into the night.

It wasn't until a glimmer of light outside the grass hut illuminated their figures that the little maid greeted them and said with a smile.

"What do you want to eat objectively, the small shop is the only place within a radius of a few miles to rest. ”

Both of them wore felt hats, and their hats were long and slightly bowed, and they couldn't be seen, one of them said.

"A pot of warm wine, two catties of beef. ”

After saying that, he found a table and sat down.

They glanced at the busy little guy and began to talk.

"This mission..... Are you afraid?"

"Afraid, we are doing the days of licking blood from the knife edge, what can we be afraid of, but this time we are ....... to Ye Lao Hey, I don't know what to do. ”

"Don't talk about those things that you don't get, think about your wife and children. The Lord said that when this task is completed, the child will be able to worship the marquis. You don't have to live our life of trepidation. ”

"Why do you say the Lord has to kill Ye Lao ......?"

"Shhhh

"Anyway, whether we succeed this time or not, I don't think we have any way to live, so why talk about it. ”

"You're pretty open-minded......

"That's not to blow to you, I studied in the academy when I was a child, and my husband praised me for being smart, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't open the pot at home, I wouldn't have ......."

“......”

These are probably the two killers who talk the most, and their owners have a lot of headaches for this, but there is nothing they can do just because they are the two best at it.

Then the servant brought two plates of beef and a pot of freshly warmed wine, and the two of them stopped talking.

Because of the darkness of the night, they did not notice the little boy curled up in the corner without a sound. At this time, the little boy who was huddled in the corner listened to all this, and did not dare to make a sound at all, and buried his head lower as if thinking about something.

Soon after, the two of them walked off into the distance. When the little boy saw the two of them walking away, he also got up and walked in the opposite direction while thinking, at this time the little boy looked at the little boy who was far away and shook his head and said.

"After waiting for a long time, there are still two slices of beef on the table and gone, it is a strange person. ”

At this time, the snow is even heavier, and I want to bury all the roads. The little boy did not know how long he had walked, and then he fell to the ground in the darkness of hunger and cold.

A few miles away, a team of men and horses with torches galloped towards here.
