"Why did Boss Song send you to me?" Sun Li frowned slightly, "Could it be that he didn't let you be in charge?"

"The owner, it's no wonder that Boss Song is here, I asked for it myself. Wei Xiaobao hurriedly explained that at this time, he had already learned Sun Li's identity from Song Daquan, so his figure was very low.

"Why?"

"Is this......" Wei Xiaobao scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I heard Boss Song say just now, it was the owner who recommended me to be in charge, I thought about it, I didn't have much ability, and I was really ashamed to let the owner value it so much." It just so happened that there were fewer things in the store today, so I came over to play for the owner to relieve my guilt. ”

"Huh. Sun Li smiled, and quickly concluded to the Wei Xiaobao in front of him, this is a clever and very caring person, who dares to seize any opportunity and work hard to climb up.

There is nothing wrong with this, after all, "the water flows to the lower place, and the people go to the higher place", everyone wants to be better, as long as they don't violate their bottom line.

"Okay, since you dare to recommend yourself, then you must know the location of the Xu family, take me there. Sun Li didn't delve into this Wei Xiaobao's motives, and asked directly.

"Okay, boss, come with me. Wei Xiaobao walked towards the front neatly, and Sun Li followed behind.

After nine twists and eighteen bends all the way, I walked for more than a stick of incense, and finally arrived at the place. What catches your eye is a slightly dilapidated shop, with two dark and shiny wooden boards hanging on both sides of the door, I don't know how many years old, with the words "Grace of dripping water" written on the right, and "Repay with a spring" on the left.

Sun Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the pair of planks seriously for a while, and he already knew why Xu Youcai often said that his father taught him that "the grace of dripping water should be repaid with a spring", and it turned out that the source was here.

Alas, Sun Li sighed lightly, and then strode in.

The shop was obviously closed, and it was arranged as a mourning hall, which was plain white, and it looked particularly heavy in the dim light, which made Sun Li a little out of breath.

There are very few people, after all, the Xu family is fleeing, there are few relatives, and there are naturally not many filial piety, but occasionally a few people who know Xu Youcai's father come to take a look, cry a few times, and comfort a few words.

And Xu's father couldn't stand the blow of losing his son in his later years, and was bedridden in the house on the side, and now in the mourning hall is a friend of Xu's father, who is in his forties, and is constantly bowing to the people who come in.

Then three men in their fifties, dressed as shopkeepers, walked in, sighing and talking.

"Old man Xu, but a good person, I didn't expect this kind of calamity. ”

"Yes, yes, I really don't know how Old Man Xu can stand it. ”

"Alas, this matter, it's really not a long sight. Originally, Old Man Xu took out all the family funds, so he scraped together a thousand taels of silver, secretly bought a Daoyuan card, and sent Xiao Xu into the mountain to cultivate immortals, hoping that he would have a good future, but he didn't expect that the immortals were not cultivated, but he lost his life. Moreover, if you are dead, you can't even see a corpse, but it's over with a personal notice, so that Old Man Xu can only get a well-dressed mound, alas!"

"Alas. The three people who came in kept sighing, walked towards the person who presided over, saluted each other, and then in front of Xu Youcai's tablet, they lit three incense sticks and inserted them in the incense burner. Then he saluted again with the person who presided over and paid the gift money.

The person who presided over the book wrote down in ink: Zhang Ji shopkeeper next door, gift money and silver tael, street king Ji shopkeeper, gift money and silver one tael......

After the recording, the three people who came in looked at each other, sighed and turned to leave, and suddenly the mourning hall became cold again.

Sun Li looked at this scene, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the person who presided over, and the person who presided over looked at him with some feeling, and asked, "Are you?"

......

On the other side of Ping'an County, there is also a white affair going on, which is much more lively than the Xu family.

In front of the gate of the Chen family, there are large clusters of white cloth flowers, and there is an endless stream of people hanging filial piety in front of the door, all of whom enter the mourning hall of the main hall and cry loudly, some are old, some are young, and those who cry are grief-stricken, crying and howling, "This old man who killed a thousand knives, the fourth young master of the Chen family is such a good person, why did he let you accept it." This kid is a noble man in the future, unspeakably expensive, God, you are really jealous of the talent......"

After a period of pain, these people quickly retracted their expressions, took out the gift money that had been prepared a long time ago, handed it to the Chen family housekeeper on the side, and said respectfully, "This is to buy some paper money for Chen Sishao, a little bit, not a tribute." ”

"Hmm. The housekeeper nodded expressionlessly, and then gestured to the guys on the side to write it down: the shopkeeper of the charcoal shop, Xiao Baijian, silver thirty, and the county master, Lu Guoyu, silver fifty......

At the same time, in the house on the side of the mourning hall, there were three people sitting.

Among them, Chen Hui, the county magistrate of Ping'an County, that is, Chen Xuan's father, sat on a wicker chair with a frown, his face cold. Chen Ying, the son of the Chen family, sat beside him, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Chen Fafa, the second son of the Chen family, sat in the corner with his eyes closed, his face without joy or sorrow, as if he was contemplating and as if he was sleeping.

After a long time, Chen Hui spoke, broke the silence, and asked the eldest son Chen Ying on the side, "Has Xuan'er returned from Jinhua Mountain?"

"I'm back, I personally went up the mountain to pick up the fourth brother yesterday, but the fourth brother looked a little bad. ”

"What's wrong with it?" asked Chen Hui coldly.

"The fourth brother's whole body is scorched, as if he has been struck by lightning, and there is a big hole in his abdomen......" Chen Ying whispered.

"So, Xuan'er did die unexpectedly? So the people of Jinhua Mountain, the Xuan'er was killed by demons, is it indeed possible?"

"It should be true. Chen Ying nodded slightly, "I have inquired, in the Jinhua Mountain, there was indeed a big chaos a few days ago, with heavy casualties. It is said that the mountain lord surnamed Nayue has decided to close the mountain and hide in the world, and now many of the outer disciples have been dismissed. Moreover, I heard that the demon who made trouble before was transformed by a child in the mountain, and there was some conflict with the fourth brother. That's why the fourth brother was poisoned. ”

"Is the demon dead?" Chen Hui asked suddenly.

Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, and then replied with some hesitation, "It seems to be ...... No. ”

"Huh?" Chen Hui's slightly cloudy eyes suddenly sharpened, and the unique momentum of his official position exploded, "No?!"

Chen Ying's body trembled slightly, and he nodded with an ugly face, "It's true." ”

"Didn't Jinhua Mountain claim to be a great sect of cultivating immortals, how could it not even deal with a demon? That's not what they said at the beginning!" Chen Hui was very dissatisfied.

"Like...... It seems that because the demon is too tricky, it is said that the mountain lord surnamed Yue led a group of elders who did not surrender, but he himself suffered a lot of injuries, so he was escaped by the demon. ”

"It's all rubbish!" Chen Hui grabbed the teacup in his hand, and then slapped it against the table as hard as a slap on the table.

With a "snap", the teacup shattered, the tea splashed, and blood flowed from Chen Hui's hands.

Chen Ying's body trembled slightly, and he said a little fearfully, "Father, you ......"

"I'm fine!" Chen Hui raised his bleeding hand, stopped Chen Ying's words, and said in a deep voice, "Since that Jinhua Mountain can't deal with the demons, we will help them deal with it." I don't believe that in this county, hundreds of arrests are fast, and I can take down the murderous Jiangyang thief, the vicious horse thief who slaughtered the village and exterminated the clan, and I can't take down a single demon?

Didn't Lu Zhutou in the county government keep saying that he had immortal arts, and that would be the best, so he sent him to find the traces of the demon, and once he found it, he would not die well. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask the county for a warrant to make the Black Flag Army stationed there move, and I don't believe that the demon can still compete with the army?"

"By the way, what's the name of that demon?" After talking for a while, Chen Hui suddenly remembered something, and then opened his mouth to ask Chen Ying.

"Sun ...... Sun Li. Chen Ying looked at his father's expression and replied cautiously. And Chen Fa in the corner slowly opened his eyes, and then flashed slightly.

Sun Li!
