Chapter VII

"Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, a veritable second fool, look at the thick padded jacket you're wearing, is this the hot time?" Lao Wang slapped the handle of the knife on the head of the subordinate, and the subordinate was scolded and didn't dare to refute, only hated the shopkeeper Li, he did have a nickname called Silly Qiu, but he didn't want others to call him a fool, there was still a difference.

"So, there is only one possibility, and that is that the cheats are in his hands, and he is lying. Lao Wang looked at the inn again and said, "Let's find another place to rest first, pretend to leave, the bright one can't work, let's come to the dark, as long as we don't get caught, even the secret master has nothing to say." When everyone is asleep in the dead of night, let's come again, and when the innkeeper asks, we will know. ”

"But what about that kid and that master of mysticism? One of his men asked

"Have you forgotten the rules of the Holy See? Once you enter the Holy Church, you are not an ordinary person, you must cut off all earthly conditions and practice with peace of mind, and you must not interfere in the affairs of mortals without authorization. According to the rules of the Holy Sect, do you think that mystic master will take care of our business? Lao Wang said, saying that he no longer ignored a group of subordinates who were there to pat the horse and praise his boss for his clever plan, but rode on the horse and ran away, and several of his subordinates saw this, and also got on the horse and turned the horse's head, and followed his boss out of front of the inn, ready to find a hidden place first, and then come to the inn at night.

The night in the north is as cold and quiet as ever, the wind is whining, blowing through the streets, blowing on the eaves, and blowing into the dark corners where the moonlight does not shine, but it can't blow away the sorrow between the old king's eyebrows, he and his men have been waiting here for a long time, if someone passes by here at this time, then they can only see a blurry black shadow, it is also a coincidence, these were originally rampant rampant ruffians in the countryside to steal chickens and dogs, people are suspicious, and then they are really desperate, taking advantage of the imperial conscription to catch the last carriage to the front line of Qingzhou, thinking that they will be mixed for ten or eight years, and they can receive a pension when they come back, and they did not want to be soldiers for a few days,Then follow the master to fall into the grass together,Re-do the old business of climbing over the wall and picking bells,That's naturally familiar,Find a hidden place to cat,Wait for the lights out and fall asleep to do it,And this is the closest to the corner of the inn's backyard Li shopkeeper's room,As long as you turn over the courtyard wall, you can see the window in the backyard of the inn,From the crack in the backyard wall, you can see two blurred figures reflected in the window paper,They are getting together,As if chatting about something。

"Captain Wang, you said that these two people can talk for half an hour, right? Why haven't the lights been turned off yet? Brother, in the middle of the night, they are all going to freeze outside. One of the small black shadows moved, it should be one of the Blood Wolf Gang's men.

"Otherwise, let's rush in and tie up the meat ticket. Another voice said.

"It doesn't matter if you rush in, when the time comes, you will annoy the mystic, will you block it or me? Now, we can only wait patiently. Another somewhat majestic voice said, this should be Captain Wang.

Not to mention that Captain Wang is cats in the corner here, shivering from the northwest wind, and the bedroom of Boss Li inside is as warm as spring. I saw Boss Li sitting on the rocking chair in the middle of the room, shaking and shaking, very leisurely, didn't say anything, just looked at the teapot on the stove next to him bubbling white, as if falling into a memory, Lian Chen knelt in front of his legs, and called him at this juncture must have something to explain, after all, the man in front of him who seems to be greedy for money and profit but timid as a mouse is the adoptive father who has raised him for 12 years, although he has not taught himself any great ability, and he has no ability to teach himself basic reading and literacy, but the grace of a meal is unforgettable, not to mention that it is twelve years of day and night, every day according to the instructions, teach himself to treat others, in fact, he has long been like his own father and son。 But I lowered my head and waited for a long time, but I didn't see him speak, I thought that my adoptive father had something important to tell him, but I didn't expect to let him kneel down first as soon as he came in, and it has been half an hour now.

"Sanya, how long have we been together?" Boss Li finally took his eyes off the stove with green and white smoke, and turned his head to look at Sanya, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Dad, it's been twelve years since then. Lian Chen replied flatly, not knowing what Boss Li was doing when he suddenly asked about this. When he was very young, he just could speak, and as soon as he began to remember, Boss Li told him that he was not his biological father, and he could not call him father, but Lianchen always insisted on calling him father. Maybe from the beginning of adopting this child, Boss Li knew that one day he would leave him, he had his own life, his own future, how could he be here to accompany him such a down-and-out martial artist to live a mediocre and ordinary life? Yes, he was also a high-spirited teenager, but later the bad luck and misfortune fell from the sky, and the muscles and veins were abolished, so he could only be an honest small businessman. He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so unexpectedly. Lian Chen originally thought that he would live in such a confused way, and live one day at a time, until the fortune teller who passed by that day said his real name and saw his life experience, he knew that his life was predestined as early as when he was born, even if his parents made arrangements for him, but after all, he could not escape the will of fate. His life path is also destined to be different from others.

"Twelve years, how many twelve years can there be in life, Sanya, do you know why I have been making you kneel since you came in?" Boss Li stood up and looked at the child condescendingly, full of love and reluctance, there seemed to be something moist in his eyes to snatch out of his eyes, he was really old, and he was blinded by a little smoke.

The boy did not know, but asked his father to teach him. Lian Chen said respectfully.

"Because, tomorrow you don't have to call me dad anymore, letting you kneel for half an hour can be regarded as the grace of these twelve years of nurturing, and we don't owe each other, and you don't need to worry about it," Boss Li turned around, not wanting Sanya to see his moist eyes," I also do this to make you remember that you must be a person who has clear grievances and grievances, is decisive between right and wrong, and must not drag the mud and water, others are twice as good to you, you are ten times better to others, and if others want to be half evil to you, you must be a hundred times worse to others, to repay virtue with virtue, to repay grievances with straightforwardness, understand?"

"Got it, boy. Lian Chen didn't know what to say for a while, it turned out that his adoptive father was afraid that he would suffer outside the loss, so he let himself be like this, before leaving, he was not related to him, but he took care of him for ten years, teaching and paying attention to all aspects, thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude, bowed down, and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Even if you kid has a conscience," hearing the movement behind him, he didn't have to look back to know what Lian Chen was doing, and he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, "Okay, don't say more, there are things left for you by your biological parents under the stove in the front yard, you go and get it, I'm tired, you take the things and go back to the house, don't bother me anymore, my old man wants to be quiet." ”

Aren't there just a jade lock and a stack of flannel wrapped around his young self? Is there anything else? I wanted to ask again, but Boss Li had already pushed himself out of the room.

Looking at the closed door, the light in the room was also out, knowing that his adoptive father didn't want to see him again, Sanya turned around, cleaned up his sorrows, and hurried to the front yard, he was also very curious, what did his biological parents leave for him?

"Boss, it's time for us to do it, right?" Seeing a thin figure walking out of Boss Li's room, it was expected that it was the second junior who had walked the shit and entered the Holy Sect Gate, and the lights in the room were finally turned off, and several of his subordinates couldn't wait to come to Captain Wang, "Yes, let's go back after finishing our work, the brothers are frozen to death this day." ”

"No, wait. "The captain surnamed Wang actually wants to finish things early and go back early, but no, after all, this time is different from the past, there is a secret master of the Holy Sect upstairs, one is not good to offend him, no one present can please him, not to mention that he met "that person" this morning, I hope I was dazzled by the mistake, if this matter still involves people from over there, it will be very bad.

"Don't! Don't! Don't come! Don't come!" Captain Wang was muttering in his heart, but suddenly heard a muffled exclamation from Boss Li's house, listening to the voice, the people in the room seemed to see the most terrifying thing in the world. There was a pause, followed by another "ah-" like a wail before death, but as if the voice had been suddenly cut off by something, half a cut was missing, but there was no end note.

"Suffer, something happened!" Captain Wang was startled, but saw a black shadow rushing out of the side window, disappearing into the dark night, and hurriedly shouted, "Go, go in and have a look", greeted his subordinates, took the lead in taking a deep breath, and jumped into the courtyard. It is said that if such a thing happens, you should quickly retreat and stay out of the matter, but Captain Wang is concerned about the task, and he is afraid that the cheats will be lost, and although the black shadow just now is just a glimpse, it is faintly full of palpitating breath, which is an irrepressible bloody killing atmosphere, a bit like the "person" he met in the morning, in order to confirm the guess in his heart, he had to rush in. Besides, if it happened suddenly, Captain Wang couldn't afford to worry a lot. Their Blood Wolf Gang has been tracking down this secret book for more than ten years, and there has been no news for ten years, and now they are just a little eyebrows, if they suddenly cut off the clues, how can it be good? Do you wait another ten years? Thinking like this, when you enter the house, you can't see Boss Li's figure, only smell the smell of blood all over the house, on the kang, there are blood stains left on the window, and it is dragged into a long strip on the ground, which is strange, if the person "over there" did it, it only takes a knife to kill him, why make a mess all over the ground, and drag away the corpse?

"Boss, what about the people?" a few of his men finally caught up.
