There were so many people missing all at once, and the courtyard was empty as if there was a world missing.

The sunset over the desert has sunset, and darkness has swept over the land.

Lin Xiangdi sat quietly in the room, silently wiping his knife with a piece of suede.

He never imagined that one day he would carry a knife with a cold light and slash and kill people. The reddish blood was like a nightmare, appearing in front of his eyes all the time, and behind that bloody light was a pair of dead eyes.

Is this what life was like in ancient times?

In order to survive, Ru Mao drank blood, and for the sake of profit, took people's lives. He sighed and recalled his former life, comfortable and warm. Don't worry about your life, don't worry about safety, the times are safe, and the sky is clear.

There was a knock on the door outside, and you didn't have to think about it to know that it was Zuo Bai.

Lin Xiangdi put the knife on the table and invited Zuo Bai into the room.

Zuo Bai sat down with a dark face, put one hand on the table, the other on his lap, and did not speak for a while.

Lin Xiangdi opened his mouth and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

Zuo Bai shook his head and sighed, "I'm just here to discuss with you, what to do with the remains of your brothers?" ”

Lin Xiangdi nodded and said, "I won't tell you, I'm also thinking about it." Entering the soil for safety is the best policy. We will hold another memorial service to comfort the dead. ”

Zuo Bai asked with some doubts: "What will you chase?" ”

Lin Xiangdi explained: "A memorial service. Remembering the deceased and mourning deeply. ”

Zuo Bai asked: "This is the first time I've heard of it. So what to do? ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will gather all the people and bury your brothers. I'll take care of the rest. ”

The next morning, all the remaining people sat or stood silently beside the body. Not far away, beside the sand dunes, a pit had been dug by several brothers. Several people who went to buy the coffin had also pulled the coffin from Jieyang Country overnight.

Zuo Bai instructed everyone to put the body into the coffin, then put it in a rope, and slowly put it into the pit.

When everything ended in everyone's silence, Lin Xiangdi beckoned everyone to sit together, and let the iron egg with crying eyes like peaches sit beside him.

He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, today we buried Lao Tie and your brothers, and our hearts are very heavy. Although I have not been here for a long time, I really like the intimate life here without distinguishing between you and me. We have a special farewell ceremony today, and we have a memorial service for our deceased brothers. ”

Everyone looked left and right, not understanding what Lin Xiangdi meant.

Lin Xiangdi said: "One of us thinks of something about your brothers, say it, and let us miss him together." ”

The first to speak was Zuo Bai, who said, "Let me tell you something about Lao Tie." Back then, I suffered a disaster and fled all the way from the capital, originally wanting to flee to Jieyang Kingdom, but I strayed into the Ecstasy Land on the way, and there was no food and water. Just when I was desperate, I met Lao Tie, who gave me the water in the kettle, led me out of the ecstasy, and let me live here for a long time, and also promoted me to be a military advisor. He is a very good man, although we are bandits and robbers, but he is also for many brothers to have a bite to eat, and he values love and righteousness. This time, Brother Lin had actually predicted the danger, but I misjudged the situation and caused heavy casualties. I'm sorry Lao Tie, I'm sorry for all brothers. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Bai left tears and whimpered several times.

His crying aggravated the sadness, and everyone wept along.

The one who cries the most is the iron egg.

She cried and said, "I'm sorry for Lao Tie. For as long as I can remember, I've complained to him about why I don't have a mother. I never called him daddy, I just called his name after the crowd. He never annoyed me, he was so kind to me, and he was obedient to me. Once, when he was drinking with Brother Zuo, I overheard that I was not his biological daughter. I picked it up from him. But for so many years, he has been like a daughter to me. Before I could repay him for his nurturing kindness, he was gone. ”

Lin Xiangdi patted Tie Dan's shoulder and comforted: "Lao Tie's spirit in the sky will know your heart." ”

The short memorial service ended in tears for everyone.

Before the end, someone suddenly asked: "Brother Zuo, Brother Lin, are we just watching Lao Tie and them die?" ”

Someone chimed in: "Yes! We can't let the Persians ride on our heads and. ”

"We owe them revenge!"

"That's right! Avenge! ”

Zuo Bai saw that everyone's emotions were getting more and more excited, so he stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet first. He said, "This revenge will be avenged." It's just that this wave of Persians has firearms in their hands, which is not easy to deal with. It's okay to fight with knives, but their firearms are so powerful, we need to think about it again in order not to increase casualties. ”

Someone said, "What else to consider?" Lao Tzu took this life, and he also wanted to avenge his dead brothers. ”

Zuo Bai said: "It was Xiao San'er who went to put the sentry that day, did you know the origin of these Persians?" ”

A brother sitting on the side stood up and said to Zuo Bai, "I know. The earliest stepping point was when I went with Xiao San'er. These Persians came from the country of Jieyang. ”

Zuo Bai asked, "Have you ever seen where they live in Jieyang Kingdom?" ”

He replied, "Yes." In the town bordering the country of Jieyang and Wuci, in a hotel called Kuailuge. ”

Lin Xiangdi patted his thigh and said, "It's good to know the place." I suspect they must have returned to Jieyang this time. It is estimated that there are still people in Jieyang Kingdom to answer them. ”

Zuo Bai asked, "How do you know?" ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "Because the person I killed said before he died that he was still waiting to carry our heads to receive the reward. ”

Zuo Bai stroked his beard and said, "Even if you know the place, it's not easy to kill them." ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "We sneak in at night and attack while they are sleeping. ”

Zuo Bai shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." After a fierce battle with us, these people must have been on guard against us going after us. There will definitely be someone to guard the night. What's more, if you do it in the place of Jieyang Country and get caught, it's not easy to do. ”

All of a sudden, the crowd lost their minds.

Lin Xiangdi thought for a while and said, "Why don't we lure the enemy deeper?" ”

Everyone was busy asking what kind of trick was it?

Lin Xiangdi said: "This is kept secret for the time being. Let's go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will know. ”

Everyone asked to participate, but Lin Xiangdi did not agree. Zuo Bai persuaded everyone to go back first, and then make a decision after he and Lin Xiangdi discussed it.

After everyone was persuaded by Zuo Bai to go back, Zuo Bai pulled Lin Xiangdi into the room, closed the door and asked, "What do you mean?" What exactly do you want to do? ”

Lin Xiangdi sighed and said, "Lao Tie has a life-saving grace for me, and this revenge must be avenged." But I can't let everyone die, I can go alone. ”

Zuo Bai hurriedly stopped: "Are you crazy? You don't even know how many people are behind them, are you going to die? ”

Lin Xiangdi suddenly got up, bowed to Zuo Bai and said, "Master, I've been thinking about what I'm practicing the sword technique for after I killed people yesterday. At today's memorial service, I heard so many heartfelt words from everyone, and I finally figured it out, for a love. Family, love, friendship. I'm here for these true feelings. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Bai was silent. This is also the doubt that he has been practicing swords and swords for many years, he has gone too far and forgot why he set out.

He asked, "Tell me what you think?" ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "It is obvious that so many people will be suspected when they enter the Jieyang Kingdom, not to mention, the Persians may have sent people to keep an eye outside the city gate." But when a person goes in, it is not so conspicuous. I'll go and find out if they still live there. If yes, I'll live in it too. Wait until nightfall, solve them one by one. ”

Zuo Bai said bitterly: "No." A person is weak and can't work. ”

Lin Xiangdi said, "Master, don't worry. I'll be careful. If I really can't do it, I'll come back silently, won't I? ”

Zuo Bai didn't worry about him going alone after all. After he returned to his room, he put on his sword and sat at the window staring at the door of Lin Xiangdi's room. He planned to follow behind Lin Xiangdi and back him up.

In the afternoon, there was no one in the courtyard.

Lin Xiangdi quietly came out of the room. It seems that he has changed his disguise.

He put on a normal farmer's hat, got a pair of old shoes out of nowhere, put on a dusty dress, and walked out of the room.

Zuo Bai saw that the time was about the same, so he followed his camel away.

It is about two hours away from the border town of Jieyang Kingdom. Along the way, Lin Xiangdi didn't find Zuo Bai and followed him not far away. He thought about his own thoughts and walked on the vast desert.

As the sun was about to set, he finally saw the town's gates.

He tied the knife to his back, and he couldn't see it at all when he put on his clothes. It's like an ordinary peasant, when he gets to the city gate, he gets off his camel and forgets to go in without taking his eyes off it.

The soldiers guarding outside the city gate kept glancing at him.

The soldier hesitated, but stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?" I haven't seen you. ”

Lin Xiangdi nodded frequently to the soldiers, and said humbly: "Official, I am a farmer who lives far away, and I heard that my sister is sick and came here to visit. ”

The soldier looked him up and down again and asked, "Who is your sister?" ”

Lin Xiangdi said: "Old Li's family." I got married two years ago. ”

The soldier didn't say anything more and let him in.

When Lin Xiangdi walked away, Zuo Bai also followed.

The soldier asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zuo Bai smiled and said, "Buy medicine." ”

The soldier asked, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy?" ”

Zuo Bai said: "We have an epidemic over there, and my family has to get it." I came to Lang Zhong and grabbed some medicine. ”

The soldier said to himself: "No wonder so many coffins were taken away yesterday, it turned out that there was another epidemic epidemic." ”

Lin Xiangdi walked in front and looked around.

In the Green Pavilion, a Persian came out.

Lin Xiangdi applauded in his heart: I really got it right by me.
