Chapter 2: Life and Death

Prosperous places are always mixed, and how much unknown darkness is hidden under this prosperous scene. How many poor people are there running around to stay alive?

Today's weather in Feixiong Prefecture is exceptionally sunny, cloudless, with a slight breeze from time to time, and there are bursts of fragrance in the wind.

In a dilapidated courtyard in the southeast area of the state city, a simplely dressed figure was busy by the fire.

The bitter smell of herbs wafted from the jar on the stove, and the figure turned to add some water to the jar, which turned out to be a tall young man.

Looking at his appearance, he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are painted with Zhu, but his face is stiff, and his eyes are even more sorrowful.

"Boss~!Boss~!" A hearty and lazy voice sounded from outside the broken wall, and then I saw a sturdy figure climbing over the wall, and the figure was as swift as a monkey.

"Qin Fang~, you be quiet, my godmother just fell asleep, what are you arguing about, what about Xiaoyue?" the young man frowned slightly.

"Oh!" the monkey-like figure stood still and smiled, with bright eyes and bright teeth, with that strong face was a little heroic, but the lazy smile with a cynical expression gave people an endless lazy feeling, but that expression made people unable to get angry no matter what.

Seeing the appearance of the young man, the tall young man sighed softly: "Alas... Don't make a fuss, the boss is still like a child. ”

"Boss, you don't know, it's a big scene, the eldest son of the state lord has returned to the city, guess what he rode back, oh my God~! It's a three-eyed winged tiger beast, mother, if Lao Tzu has such a one, he won't fascinate all the chicks in the front street~!" Qin Fang's eyes were full of longing, and the corners of his mouth were drooling unconsciously, as if he was about to fascinate a beautiful woman.

"Okay, okay, got it, what about Satsuki?" the tall boy looked helpless.

Qin Fang was obviously still reminiscing about what he had just seen, and said casually: "Yue Shao went hunting, that grand scene is too wasteful not to hunt, it is estimated that he will come back soon, maybe he can have a big meal today."

"Oh, what about you, why don't you help him?" said the tall boy, slowly.

"Don't mention it~!I went to Qingfeng Temple today, I want to ask for Fu Shui for my godmother, those Taoist priests are too doggy to look down on people, I begged for two whole hours, and I didn't give any of them, it's too hateful~!" Qin Fang spat and continued, "When I learn advanced martial arts, I must teach this group of miscellaneous hairs a good lesson~!"

"Who does Qin Shao want to teach a lesson?I will definitely help you~!" A tattered boy walked in, his face full of dirt was not enough to hide his smart eyes, and a pair of delicate eyebrows brought out a strong bookish atmosphere.

"Yue Shao, why did you do this? didn't you fall into the ditch by mistake, this will damage the reputation of our Xiongzhou Shuangxia" Qin Fang said seriously.

"That's right," the bookish boy replied helplessly: "It's a pity that there is no award~!"

"What's the matter, isn't your nose naturally smarter than a headwind dog, don't you smell a stinky ditch?" Qin Fang was very surprised, he knew that the bookish boy had a different nose from an ordinary person since he was a child, as long as he wanted to smell it, no matter how subtle the smell was, he could smell it. It's more than the upwind dog, which is famous for its scent tracking.

"I just jumped when I smelled it," replied the bookish boy.

"Why?!" Qin Fang stared at the boss with a puzzled look.

"I didn't expect the ditch to widen and white. The bookish boy gave him a blank look and said as he cleaned up his body.

"I had a great idea in mind. After hearing the bookish young man's tone, Qin Fang hurriedly changed the topic.

"What's the idea?" said the bookish boy for a moment.

"Hehehehe, the idea is, let's dig the tunnel in the house outside the city~!" Qin Fang said with a smile.

"Why?" asked the bookish.

"That way you can run out of town when you're being chased, and you don't have to jump into a stinking ditch to hide. And in the future, we will become big thieves, and if we provoke officers and soldiers, we will just run away. Qin Fang said proudly.

"How can you change to a thief today, didn't you want to become a hero yesterday?" said the bookish young man in surprise.

"You don't understand, yesterday's is called a dream, and today's is called reality~! Don't worry, even if we are thieves, we will definitely be thieves who rob the rich and help the poor, how can I take you to the ditch~!" Qin Fang said with an oath.

"Okay, don't make trouble, you guys come here, I have something to say," said the tall boy with a hint of majesty in his calmness.

"Boss?" "Brother wrong?" Qin Fang and Yue Shao glanced at each other, and said in unison, "What's the matter?"

"Let's go to the hut and talk," after speaking, the tall boy led the two to the hut.

After entering the house, the tall boy solemnly closed the doors and windows, and after making sure that there was no one around, the tall boy slowly sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Qin Fang and the two felt that something was wrong, although the three of them usually had some secrets, they were not so solemn, and they all put away their usual hippie smiling faces and sat down like young men.

"Huh~!" Looking at the inquiring eyes of the two, the tall young man exhaled lightly before saying seriously: "Qin Fang~!Nanliuyue~!, today I want you to promise me a good thing." ”

Qin Fang and Nan Liuyue were shocked when they heard this, this eldest brother had never said things so solemnly since they met.

"Big brother, what's the matter with you?" Qin Fang didn't dare to joke anymore.

"I was selected by the city lord military division to be a chess piece to enter the Qingfeng Temple, to do a confidential thing, I am afraid that I will die for a lifetime, even if I succeed, it is estimated that what awaits us afterwards will not be the glory and wealth promised by the military master, and I will go to the Qingfeng Temple at this time tomorrow. I'm running out of time," said the young man.

"Big brother~!" "Wrong brother~!" Qin Fang and Nan Liuyue were shocked, and their anxious expressions were beyond words.

"Don't speak, listen to me, this matter is extremely confidential, and it is absolutely not allowed to be revealed to the outside world, even you can't, so what you know today, you have to forget tomorrow, what I want you to promise me is to take good care of my godmother, and no matter what happens to me, don't avenge me, and don't come to Qingfeng Temple, Qin Fang, you are one year older than Liuyue, you have to take care of Liuyue and Godmother after I leave" Jin Hao slowly instructed.

"Big brother, don't go~!Let's escape, escape to a place outside of Feixiong Prefecture," Qin Fang said urgently.

"It's late, how smart is the city lord's mansion uncle, at the same time as we were chosen, we were forced to take the slow (sexual) poison, and if we escaped, we would not only die, but also affect the godmother" Jin Hao showed a wry smile on his face.

"Why don't I go and ask the money boss and ask him to help intercede, how can I say that his father is also the leader of the Sea Wolf Gang, and I have a very good relationship with Qin Shao and him. Nan Liuyue hurriedly said.

"It's useless, how can the gang people get along with the state capital? The money gang leader? He won't offend the state capital for his son's friend. Kim shook his head.

"However, we can't just watch the wrong brother send you to death~!" Nan Liuyue said anxiously.

"Don't worry, maybe things aren't as miserable as I analyzed, maybe I'll be able to change to a half-official position afterwards, which is better than what our brother is now," Kim said with a smile.

Although Jin Hao said this, the two knew that it was almost impossible for Jin to make a mistake in judgment with Jin Hao's calm and mind, and this was just to comfort the two.

"But... The two of them reluctantly said again, but at this time, a sudden sound of skirts rubbing outside interrupted the conversation between several people, and the voice was very soft and slow.

"It should be that the godmother is awake, I can't let her know about it, if the godmother asks me about me during this time, she will say that I will help the faucet and will not come back in a short time" After instructing the two of them, Jin Hao turned around and said again: "Okay, don't look like you are parting from life and death, the medicine is about to boil, today it is Xiaoyue's turn to feed the godmother, Xiaofang will also go to help, go quickly, the medicine should be cold in a while." With that, he pushed the two out of the hut.

After Qin Fang and Nan Liuyue came out, they happened to see their godmother trembling and moving her body, wanting to pour medicine for herself, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Mother, why are you up, we are here to do it" Nan Liuyue hurriedly said.

"Mother is fine, it's not comfortable to lie down all the time, come out to move, rest assured, my mother can do it herself" The godmother of the three was pale with a hint of weakness.

"No, no, come in, let's pour the medicine, you hurry up and go in and rest" Qin Fang was also very nervous about his godmother's body, and the two of them couldn't help but say that they helped Lan Gu into the house.

When they entered the house, the two unconsciously glanced at the hut in the corner, and there was more worry on their faces, fortunately their godmother Lan Gu didn't notice it, and thought that the two of them were worried about their own condition.

The two of them waited in the house until Lan Gu drank the medicine and fell asleep again, and then slowly withdrew. When they returned to the hut, they found that Jin Dian had already left, thinking that they were afraid that the two would be sad or unwilling to accept the scene of separation, so they secretly left, looking at the empty house, but the two of them were not in a good mood.

"It's time to give this to the wrong brother. Nan Liuyue said while touching a yellow talisman, Qin Fang glanced at the things in Nan Liuyue's hand, and understood Nan Liuyue's thoughts at this moment, the talisman was made by her mother, and she didn't know where her mother got a cloth full of talismans and made that talisman, because there was only one, and the three of them fought for it, and then it was the mother who gave it to the youngest Nan Liuyue. It seems that Nan Liuyue wants to leave her mother's blessing to her eldest brother.

"Moonless?"

"Huh?!"

"Aren't we useless, no one even wants to be a thug with that little effort? Looking at the talisman in Nan Liuyue's hand, Qin Fang said slowly.

"Yes~!The wind splitting knife technique we learned, the name is very majestic, but you and I both know that it's just a third-rate kung fu, and when you meet one, no, you meet half a master, not to mention splitting the wind, it's almost the same as being split. Nan Liuyue was also emotional.

"Hey, this kind of roadside kung fu is really useless, in vain I was happy when I learned it, but now when I use it, I don't use it at all. We're going to have to think about it. Qin Fang said dejectedly.

"Qin Shao, what do you want to do?" The two grew up together since childhood, and Nan Liuyue knew Qin Fang very well.

"I can't go on like this, I want to go out and wander, I'll leave when my mother is well, I want to learn peerless martial arts to protect you." Qin Fangyi said seriously.

"Qin Shao, to be honest, we thought of it together again. How can the two heroes of Xiongzhou be separated~!When the mother is settled, we will go together. Nan Liuyue said firmly.

"Yue Shao, how about you say that we should also go to Qingfeng Temple, I heard that becoming a Taoist priest can not only learn advanced martial arts, but also have a good offering" Qin Fang asked.

"Don't dream, you can go if you say go?, don't forget who begged at the gate of Qingfeng Guan for two hours today, and was coaxed out, and besides, Brother Jin said that we were not allowed to go" Hearing Qingfeng Guan Nanliuyue, he unconsciously thought of what happened today, and his tone was not very good.

"It's me who is not good~!Don't mention it, I feel angry when I think about it, ah~!I won't grab the medicine today, you can go, I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself when I see Old Man Zhu's hateful appearance, and I will spill my anger on his head. Qin Fang said.

"I'll go, I'll go, Master Qin, you can dissipate your anger" After speaking, Nan Liuyue turned upside down, and the wind ran out.

"I want to sleep~!" Qin let out a strange scream and fell asleep~!

In the shadows not far away, listening to the conversation between the two, Jin Hao sighed lightly and ran straight towards the City Lord's Mansion.
