Chapter 40: Teamwork
"Thank you so much girl, in Xia Xiaoyao Valley Zixuan, the girl's life-saving grace will be rewarded in the future." Zi Xuan bowed his hand and thanked sincerely.
"There's no need to say thank you, our people in the Shadow Pavilion do things, they only value the reward and don't care about the courtesy, we don't save people in vain, Lin Shaoxia owes us a life, and we have to pay it back." Ji Wushuang said with a smile.
"Shadow Pavilion." Zi Xuan showed a sudden expression, as if he understood the identities of these people.
"Brother Zixuan, what do you mean by Shadow Pavilion?" Lingsha asked puzzled.
"It's a killer organization." Cheng Pu whispered in Lingsha's ear.
"In this case, if there is a dispatch in the future, no matter whether you go up the sword mountain or down to the sea of fire, just come to me Zixuan." Zi Xuan nodded.
Ji Wushuang glanced at Zi Xuan with silky eyes, covered his mouth and chuckled: "That's not good, the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, if there is something, we will go to Lin Shaoxia for help, here, a few please." Ji Wushuang pointed to a bedroom and said.
Lin Fan, who was meditating, heard familiar voices coming from outside the door, these sounds made him feel relieved, and he slowly got out of bed. As soon as he landed, the door was opened, and a small purple figure rushed over, and then gave him a big hug.
"You stupid, you're so worried, it's okay." Lingsha looked at Lin Fan with a concerned expression and said.
Lin Fan scratched his head in embarrassment, this brutal girl's sudden concern made him a little at a loss. Looking at Zixuan, Jiang Yun and the others smiled and said, "Senior brother, you're back." The voice was a little sad, it seemed that during the time of separation, I had suffered a lot of grievances, and when I saw my brothers and sisters, I seemed to have found support.
"It's obviously a waste, and he prefers to cause trouble." Jiang Yun glanced at Lin Fan with disdain, pursed his lips and turned around and walked out.
Cheng Pu strode close to the room, wanting to check Lin Fan's body, but was preempted by Su Rong, she patted Lin Fan's body gently, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine, holding Lin Fan's face with both hands, seeing that he had lost a little weight, her eyes were filled with tears and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Before Lin Fan could speak, he was first pulled by Lingsha's ears, and said coquettishly: "You dare to ignore me!" ”
Cheng Pu made a round, then put his arm around Lin Fan's shoulders and walked out with him, and said with a smile: "Let's go to Hangzhou, the senior brothers are back, dare to bully you, let's fight back one by one!" ”
"Lin Shaoxia, don't forget our agreement, if there is anything, I will go to Xiaoyao Valley to find you." Ji Wushuang and Zi Xuan were talking about something, and when they saw Lin Fan leaving and staring at his back, they admonished.
Lin Fan turned around and solemnly saluted Ji Wushuang, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, I won't forget, Sister Wushuang, no matter what, thank you for your rescue, and keep it in mind." ”
The group left the small courtyard, and when they passed by a flower garden, Lin Fan bowed to a newly built tombstone, mourned for a moment in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, third brother, I left, although I didn't use my real name when I bowed, but I recognized your brother, and I will bear all the sins you have made in the past.
Lin Fan and the others did not go straight to Hangzhou, but under his leadership, they went to the den where he had been to hide the children. During the period of recuperation, he was concerned about the condition of this group of children all the time, but he was seriously injured and had no power to go over to rescue him, and Ji Wushuang and the others did not want to take care of this idle matter, after all, Lin Fan could not give any benefits.
After many days, everything is the same as before, but the stone gate has long been empty, a few people have inquired nearby, Jiang Yun found a vacant land, the floating soil on the ground is loose, it seems that it has been excavated not long ago.
Lin Fan and Jiang Yun Lingsha were guarding here, Zixuan and Cheng Pu went to a nearby farmhouse to borrow tools, and returned with shovels after a while, several people were digging, Lingsha let out an exclamation, only to see that the slender arm was exposed, and then digging deeper to see the whole picture, the owner of the arm was the body of a seven or eight-year-old young girl, and the body had been slightly decomposed at this moment.
Digging down further, dozens of children's corpses suddenly appeared, Ling Sha's eyes were full of tears, and his expression revealed indignation, but Lin Fan smiled miserably, this scene was actually he had already expected. If I had calmed down, prepared more thoroughly, and rescued these children in one go, would this scene not have happened?
Don't get the protagonist's illness if you don't have the protagonist's life.,What qualifications do you have to play personal heroism.,Thinking about solving this matter alone.,The result of recklessness is just to make things worse.,Even the glory of the king of the game that I once played.,It's not the king of one person.,It's the glory of the team.。
Lin Fan's gaze swept over Lingsha Zixuan and the others, these people in front of him are his own team, since his ability is limited, don't think about being in the limelight, let's be a supporting role honestly.
came and went, and before he knew it, dusk had arrived, Lin Fan followed Cheng Pu back to Hangzhou, ready to report the situation to Ling Yan to catch his head, and when he came to the city gate, Lin Fan subconsciously stopped, and everything that happened that night appeared in front of him again, Lin Fan tightened the knife in his hand, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, the senior brothers are here this time."
A hand slapped on his shoulder, Cheng Pu seemed to see his strangeness, and whispered in his ear, the voice was not loud but powerful, which made people feel extremely relieved.
At the door of the broken temple that leaked on all sides, there was a beggar in rags squatting, who was bored and bowing his head and scratching the itch, a pair of official boots came into his eyes, and the beggar's movements looked up, and after seeing the person clearly, he grinned and showed his yellow teeth, and said with teasing: "Who is my Tao who is noble and lowly to step on the ground, this is not a lackey of the imperial court... Ahh ”
Under Ling Yan's cold mask, she couldn't see the slightest expression, her eyes looked directly at the beggar, and she replied tepidly: "Little brother, please tell the leader of your gang, Ling will come to visit tomorrow, and if you have something important to talk to the leader of your gang, please also ask the leader of the Xu gang to see your face." Then he turned and left.
After Ling Yan left, the beggar restrained his expression, his face was a little more jealous, he staggered to his feet, walked around the four circles, and saw that no one quietly disappeared into the dark, as if he had gone to report the news.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Fan and the others went out of the inn, ate hot noodle soup in front of the breakfast stall near the mansion, and waited for a while after finishing the meal, and saw the gate of the mansion open, Ling Yan walked out with a few attendants escorting a few beggars, followed by the servants, carrying several coffins and grinning teeth.
"Let's go, it's time to put this matter to an end." Zi Xuan got up and settled the meal money, and greeted Ling Yan, the two of them were not polite when they met, they hugged each other and saluted, and then the two parties joined together and walked towards the territory of the beggar gang.
Entering the alley at the corner of Hangzhou, a large number of beggar disciples stood on the side of the road in two rows, and had been waiting here for a long time, this group of people stood here, and even the air became turbid, Lingsha smelled this peculiar smell, frowned and pinched her nose with a look of displeasure.
At the end of the alley sat a ruined temple, when everyone walked in, Lin Fan glanced around, in the center of the temple stood members of the beggar gang, each holding a wooden stick or a big stick, led by a middle-aged man with cold eyes and protruding forehead, wearing a tattered shirt full of patches, with a wine gourd hanging around his waist, holding a bamboo stick, and sitting in the middle with a cloak, obviously the leader of the beggar gang, there was an offering table in front of him, which was temporarily used as a table.
On the right are a dozen men dressed as fishermen, each holding a harpoon in his hand and poking it on the ground, and the stars are surrounding an old man sitting on a wooden pier with white hair. On the left are members of the Giant Whale Gang, and Zhuo Lengchan and Zhuo Yilong are also among them. Zhuo Lengchan sat on the table and chair he brought, and Zhuo Yilong stood obediently behind his chair.
"Big brother..."Lin Fan saw Zhuo Yilong, blurted out speechlessly, Zhuo Yilong also saw Lin Fan at this time, he looked at Lin Fan with a complicated gaze, nodded slowly for a while, but did not answer.
"Ling Yan, the imperial court regards martial arts people as a thorn in the flesh, we have never been in contact with each other, what is the matter with today's appointment? If you weren't a person in the rivers and lakes, we wouldn't see you today, how did you say you were a lackey of the court? Are you here today to visit as a Jianghu person, or are you trespassing as a lackey of the imperial court? The leader of the beggar gang said unceremoniously.
Ling Yan walked in front of Lin Fan and the others, and replied indifferently: "Naturally, I came to visit your gang as a person from the rivers and lakes, thank Xu Fengnian and Xu Gang Leader, and Zhuo Leng Chan Zhuo Gang Leader is willing to go to the appointment to meet." As he spoke, he bowed to Zhuo Lengchan.
Lin Fan couldn't help but snicker, the name of the leader of this beggar gang was really unbearable, and it made Lin Fan a little dramatic in minutes, as if he had gone to the wrong theater.
"Zhuo Moujian is in the city of Hangzhou, naturally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, although the imperial court issued a decree in the early years, no longer interfering with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but since the letter said that there is something to talk about, this face still has to be given." Zhuo Lengchan got up to salute back, and then looked at the person opposite with some displeasure, and asked, "But what does Ling Zhutou mean by calling the people of the Four Seas Gang?" Could it be that you are here to mediate? ”
"Hahaha, Zhuo Lengchan, don't be mistaken, the old man heard that there was a lively watch today, and he came uninvited, and the grievances between us are not something that the court can mediate. However, if you are willing to give in and give up the territory of Hangzhou, the old man should not consider giving up. The old man of the Four Seas Gang smiled heroically and said defiantly.
"Since I didn't invite you, Tian Duya, you are cheeky at your age." Zhuo Lengchan sneered.
"Zhuo Lengchan, I'm afraid you forgot what kind of place this is, this is not your territory, is the old man coming or leaving, is it your turn to restrain you?" Tian Duya was not annoyed, and still said with a smile.
