Chapter 30: The Blacksmith's Shop
The wind howled, and in just a few breaths, the blue sky was blackened with ink, and the dazzling white light shone in the churning dark clouds, and the earth-shattering storm could not wait to descend on this world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liao Yuan quickly finished the tofu soup in the bowl, put down the chopsticks, and carefully smoothed out the folds on the linen clothes, and an indescribable color appeared in his eyes, as if he was ready to meet the most important thing in his life.
"You have time to tidy up your clothes, you might as well brush your teeth and wash your feet, if it weren't for the fact that I knew you were going to kill someone, I thought you were going to the cave room. Su Xiaoqi put a piece of de-thorned fish meat into his mouth, and the umami immediately filled his entire mouth.
Liao Yuan smiled and said seriously: "When was the first time you killed someone?"
"Just the other day. Su Xiaoqi took a sip of soup, and then said: "As a result, I couldn't stop killing anymore, and I killed five in a row." ”
"No, it's six. Su Xiaoqi put down his chopsticks, and there was a trace of sentimentality in his eyes.
Liao Yuan said: "I don't seem to have any burden when I see you." ”
Su Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and said, "I killed all the people who deserved it, why should I have a burden?"
Liao Yuan said: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night?"
Su Xiaoqi laughed out loud and said, "I dreamed that they would kill them again, they could kill them when they were alive, what are you afraid of when they die?"
"I don't think I think I do......"
"This man is the most ruthless man in the world, and he has the blood of innocent people on his hands. Slaughtering the master, taking away people's property, bullying men and women, is a thief who everyone gets and is punished!" Wen Ping's words echoed in Su Xiaoqi's ears, and Su Xiaoqi squinted and said, "Maybe it's because you killed too many people who shouldn't be killed." ”
Suddenly, a jumble of leaves rushed into the house in the wind, and the door creaked as if it were about to break free.
Liao Yuan looked into Su Xiaoqi's eyes and said, "I think I should kill you, a white-eyed wolf, Lao Tzu saved you." ”
"Good. Su Xiaoqi said perfunctorily: "You are a good person." ”
"Of course I am!" Liao Yuan said: "The slaughter of the master is because the sect that accepted me as an apprentice is oppressing the people behind their backs, and the abduction of women from good families is regarded as a plaything. He robbed people of other people's property because he blocked the road and robbed, and killed him for money. ”
Wen Ping's words, Liao Yuan obviously still remembered them, and he also knew that Su Xiaoqi would definitely have a pimple in his heart.
"What about bullying men and women?"
"Bullying men and women is because of ......" Liao Yuan was suddenly silent, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes, and he said after a long time: "I'll talk to you later." ”
With that, he got up and walked out of the inn.
The wind was roaring, and the trees bowed in submission, and the mournful wails drowned out in the wind, and with a click, a poplar tree smashed into the street.
The gravel splashed, and every household closed its doors and windows, just as Su Xiaoqi and the two walked out of the gate of the Guxiang Inn with their front feet, the back foot door was closed with a "bang".
"Do you know what the benefits are to killing people on a rainy day?" asked Liao Yuan, turning his head.
"Clothes don't get red with blood?"
Liao Yuan smiled and walked down the steps.
......
Walk out of the street and follow the path on the right, past several tiled houses, at the end of the trail is an old blacksmith shop, the only one in Guxiang Town that is still open.
Yan Gong is nearly 60 years old and has been on this little-traveled path for nearly a decade. He is old, and his rickety body can no longer wield a heavy hammer, and he only relies on the skill of needle-making, living a life of poverty, full of hungry meals.
I don't know when it started, there was an extra young man in his shop, and I don't know how many people regretted it when he followed the blacksmith who lost his craft, but the young man was not worried about the future at all, only to push and pull the bellows for Yan Gong, and from time to time buy pots of wine to honor this poor old man.
"Xiao Shui, bring me a coat. Yan Gong, who was half-lying in the rocking chair, rubbed his arms, the wind kept pouring into the room, once people get older, they will always be more afraid of cold than they imagined.
Just as the young man walked into the inner room, a sharp sword suddenly split through the pitch-black dome, thunder roared, and the raindrops of beans crackled down, blurring his vision in an instant.
In the impermeable rain curtain, two hazy figures slowly appeared, and the faces of the figures became clearer and clearer, Liao Yuan and Su Xiaoqi stood under the eaves of the blacksmith shop.
"You thought I would come?" Liao Yuan looked at Yan Gong coldly.
"I felt my eyelids flutter early this morning, and it's time for ten years. Yan Gong slowly stood up from the rocking chair.
Liao Yuan sighed and said, "I really didn't expect you to settle down in Guxiang Town. ”
A faint smile flashed at the corner of Yan Gong's mouth, and he said, "If Liang Fu's revenge is not avenged, you will never set foot in Guxiang Town for the rest of your life, how can I not come to this place?"
Liao Yuan's face was full of murderous anger: "When I think of you happily staying in the world for ten years, I hate it so much." ”
Yan Gong sighed sadly: "That incident twenty years ago was really a misunderstanding. ”
Liao Yuan said with anger in his eyes: "An old couple kindly treated you who were seriously injured and dying, but you cut off their heads, this is also a misunderstanding?"
Yan Gong said sadly: "They came to my room at night, I thought it was a bad intention, who would have thought that they were afraid of the cold to send me a quilt, and when I wanted to stop, they had already fallen to the ground." ”
Liao Yuan sneered and said, "What about their young children?
"If I take them with me, I will be dragged down and left alone, and it will be a great disaster if I grow up to seek revenge against me. Yan Gong sighed: "Sin, sin." ”
"Are the housekeepers and maids in the courtyard also a disaster?"
"If they are left behind, who else will not know who killed the Treasure Gourd Liangfu family?
Liang Fu is also a famous doctor, and there are many people who have received his favor, so I can only live a miserable life of fleeing all day long. Yan Gong sighed again: "Sin, sin." ”
"It's a pity that you didn't count that I hid under the bed, let alone that Liang Fu still had a pair of children who went out to practice medicine and stayed at the patient's house. ”
"How could I have thought that such a big fire didn't burn you?" Yan Gong lowered his eyebrows: "Sin, sin......"
Liao Yuan calmed down and said: "I think that at the beginning, I worked in the inn for more than ten years, I didn't have enough food and clothing, and I finally lived a stable life, and I was easily ruined by you." ”
Liao Yuan knows very well that anger, fear, excitement, and sadness will affect the play of strength, and only absolute calmness is the key to victory.
"It's a pity that your breath is too chaotic, and you may be the one who died today. Yan Gong put his hands in his sleeves and his head shrunk.
"What's more, it's still raining now, how much can your strength be exerted?" Yan Gong smiled and said, "You shouldn't be in such a hurry." ”
