"Senior, please speak. ”

Shi Xiaofei said respectfully.

"In case you go out and die unfortunately, how will you repay me for saving your life in the future? Don't tell me anything that the kid can't repay, only in the next life to be a cow and a horse to repay this great kindness, Lao Tzu doesn't believe this!"

Xia Fan suddenly put on a stinky face, and said to Shi Xiaofei with an unkind face.

"......" Shi Xiaofei looked stunned, perhaps puzzled by Xia Fan's inexplicable change of face, and couldn't help but feel worried at the moment. "I don't know how the seniors want the juniors to repay?"

"You see, since you don't want to owe me a favor, I have no intention of stopping you from dying. Xia Fan grinded his nails nonchalantly. "So we calculate it code by yard, and we don't owe each other in life and death from now on, what do you think?"

“...... But according to what the predecessors said!" Shi Xiaofei was silent for a moment, and looked at Xia Fandao with complicated eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person after all. Xia Fan said with a meaningful smile. "As long as you throw something out that interests me, I'll repay you for this life-saving grace, how about it?"

“...... Senior, could it be that you also took a fancy to the "Heaven Thief" that I was carrying?" Shi Xiaofei's face suddenly appeared with a touch of sadness.

"Phew, what do you mean by fanciing? Look at your heartbroken little expression that is not a good person, it makes me feel like a negative person. Xia Fan retorted with a dark face. "Besides, how can the matter of being a senior be called a fancy? Is this called a fancy? If I really want the treasure things hidden in your arms, Lao Tzu has already taken them, so why bother to talk to you about it!"

"That's the senior, you're ......"

Shi Xiaofei, who was caught by Xia Fan and sprayed, was instantly stunned, could it be that he misunderstood his predecessors?

"I don't care, it's okay if you want to leave anyway, but you must pay back the kindness you owe me first. Xia Fan pursed his face and snorted.

"This... Seniors, as long as there are things on the juniors that you are interested in, you can take them, but the things in the juniors' baggage and "Heaven Thieves" can't be given to you. Shi Xiaofei gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe, apart from these two things, do you think you have anything I'm interested in?" Xia Fan said with a disgusted expression. "Besides, you're not a girl, do you still want to make a promise......?" Spare me. ”

"Senpai, I see. Who knew that Shi Xiaofei's face suddenly turned correct, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly. "It turns out that you are making things difficult for me for no reason, in fact, in order to prevent the juniors from leaving to die, right?"

"Hehe, how could I be such a boring person. Xia Fan turned his back to Shi Xiaofei and said in a disdainful tone.

"The kindness of the seniors and the juniors have it. Shi Xiaofei said solemnly. "But in any case, the juniors have already decided that they will not cause any more trouble to the seniors. ”

"Well, then you pay back the kindness you owe me first. Xia Fan shrugged.

"Senior, you said before that as long as I can come up with something that interests you, you will let me go, right?" Shi Xiaofei's expression did not change.

"That's right. Xia Fan said.

"That junior has a story I want to tell my seniors, if my seniors are interested, can you let me go?"

"Your little brain is spinning pretty fast. Xia Fan gave Shi Xiaofei a thumbs up. "If your story really interests me, I can't let you go, of course, as long as you don't give me a whole story about the bad sales of the draft. ”

Shi Xiaofei didn't care whether he understood the strange words in Xia Fan's words or not, but sat on the steps in front of the door, he untied the strap of the burden on his chest, and then carefully put the burden on his knees and thighs and slowly opened it, gradually revealing a square wooden box inside.

He reached out and stroked the wooden box, his face showing a deep look of nostalgia.

"Senior, do you know what this box contains?"

"Another box?"

"It contained the ashes of my adoptive father. ”

“......”

"In the third year of the Great Jin Dynasty, there was a drought in many places in the north, and my parents were forced to leave their hometown in order to survive, and fled with my young sister all the way to Yunzhou in the south, but in the end I was only eight years old when I lived to Yunzhou. ”

"But how can an eight-year-old child survive without his parents and family? In the most desperate time of my life, my adoptive father appeared, and he taught me to learn Chinese and calligraphy, and he taught me martial arts, and taught me the craft and skill of stealing, yes, my adoptive father was a thief, and I was a thief who was raised by a thief......"

"Although my adoptive father and I are thieves that everyone despises and hates, we also have our own principles of stealing, at least we will never stretch out our thief's hand to good people, until a few months ago, Jiangzhou came out of the news of the appearance of "Heaven Thief", the adoptive father who was drunk and dreamed of death in the past suddenly changed his normal state, and solemnly asked me to find out the whereabouts of "Heaven Thief" with him, and told him all the secrets of his life experience. ”

"It turns out that my adoptive father was a disciple of the hidden sect in the rivers and lakes, but my adoptive father committed a foolish thing when he was young and was expelled from the sect by abolishing martial arts, and how did the adoptive father who grew up in the sect forget the sect, although he lived in a mess in the years to come, but he always fantasized about returning to the sect in his heart, and the news of the appearance of "Heaven Thief" undoubtedly gave his adoptive father a chance, as long as he can dedicate "Heaven Thief" to the sect, maybe the sect can open up to him and re-incorporate. ”

"In the end, my adoptive father and I went through life and death to get the "Heaven Thief", I thought we could leave smoothly, who knew that the news leaked on the way, the adoptive father whose martial arts were abolished in order to let me escape, deliberately used himself as a bait to lure away the pursuers, and my adoptive father and I said to me before parting that even if he died, he would bury his ashes in the back mountain of the Star Picking Tower. ”

"So...... In order to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish, the younger generation desperately escorted "Heaven Thief" to the Star Picking Tower, because without "Heaven Thief", the people in the Star Picking Tower would never allow the adoptive father's ashes to be buried back to the Star Picking Tower. ”

Shi Xiaofei is not a good storyteller, his stories are bland, simple, and even boring.

But his tone is full of strong emotion, which makes a simple story unconsciously immersive.

The story ends.

Xia Fan was silent for a long time.

What attracted him was not the story, but Shi Xiaofei as a person.

Although Shi Xiaofei is a thief with a tainted identity, it is undeniable that he is a thief with affection and righteousness.

It's easy to see what "Heaven Thieves" means.

But in the face of the huge treasure that everyone in the rivers and lakes dreams of, Shi Xiaofei not only did not swallow it privately, but desperately wanted to fulfill his adoptive father's last wish.

Isn't such a rare and precious character worthy of Xia Fan's respect?

So he got tangled.

Does he want to pull Shi Xiaofei or not?

Because he knew very well that once he made a move, it meant that he would say goodbye to the comfortable and secluded life of seclusion completely.
