The cry of the baby in the bamboo basket immediately left the old man with no time to take care of anything else. He hurried towards the basket, pulling out a small piece of cheese from his bosom as he walked.

The hungry and crying baby opened its little cherry-like mouth very obediently and sucked the piece of cheese. This situation suddenly made Xin Chaihu sad, and the thrilling scene a few days ago vaguely appeared in front of his eyes......

The incident happened three days ago, in a mansion in Jiaxing, Jiangnan.

Early in the morning, Xi Xin, the chief teacher of the house, led a group of nurses to practice their fists and feet in the backyard as usual. Suddenly, with his ears, he heard several screams from the gate of the mansion in front of him!

Xin Chaihu, who was experienced in the rivers and lakes, immediately felt that the situation was not good, so he ordered two nurses to rush to inspect it, and then immediately dispatched a group of nurses under him to rush to support. He was still relieved that the owners of the inner house were still in his heart, so he hurried to greet them.

Stepping lightly into the inner house, Xin Chaihu immediately sensed an unusual silence. This is absolutely wrong! Xin Chaihu was so alert, he immediately smelled a hint of danger from the unusual silence in the house!

Sure enough! He looked around the inner mansion at that time, and there was hardly any living mouth—several masters and several personal maids were all curled up on the ground in blood, and they all died of exhaustion! In a hurry, Xin Chasing Tiger had no time to care, he flashed into the bedroom of his master Ni Liang in a few steps, and searched everywhere extremely nervously......

After a while, Xin Chaihu suddenly found that in an inconspicuous place, there was a baby's swaddling clothes! He hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and picked up the swaddling clothes wrapped in the young master from the ground, thinking: Fortunately, in the chaos, the thief did not realize that the young master had been lost!

At this moment, in the halls, courtyards and other places outside, there was already a chaotic sound of blade collision, and at the same time, countless fighting sounds also sounded. Immediately afterward, he heard many frenzied screams and voices of despair and begging for mercy......

When this matter started suddenly and there were many enemies, Xin Chaihu knew that with his own strength, it would be extremely difficult to save even a glimmer of life from the Ni family. When he was in a hurry, he suddenly found that the master Ni Liang's fingers seemed to be faintly pointing to a place!

He looked at his master's pale fingers, and suddenly his heart was like a mirror—that dark grid in the corner! This is a secret that his master had told him earlier: if something happens to the house, you can act cheaply.

Xin Chaihu felt that now should be the time when he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he no longer hesitated, immediately opened the dark compartment, and took out a brocade forging package. Then he quickly found a piece of cloth from the cage, wrapped the young master in his back, and fled from the roof at once......

The moment he flashed through the roof, Xin Chaihu's corner of the eye noticed intentionally or unintentionally that there seemed to be two other figures crouching in the hidden place at the corner of the eaves! However, in the face of extreme danger, he really had no time to care about anything else, so he had to let all kinds of strange signs pass by.

The next day, after Xin Chaihu temporarily fostered the baby in a farmhouse outside the city, he sneaked into the city in disguise to find out the news. In the afternoon, he learned from a friend in the rivers and lakes that his master Ni Liang had offended a rich man in Jiaxing City before, and that person was a distant relative of You Duoxun, the head of the North Hell Pavilion.

Xin Chaihu felt the kindness of the master's family, and decided to escort the young master south to Fuzhou Mansion to join his relatives alone. Shen Yixi, the new general judge of Fuzhou Mansion, is the uncle and cousin of the master Ni Liang. Earlier, on the way to work, Shen Tongju had visited his cousin, so Xin Chaihu knew about him.

……

Seeing that the young master in the bamboo basket was drowsy again, Xin Chaihu hurriedly packed his bags and continued to hurry forward with a thick branch. Night in the mountains came early, and it wasn't long before the dark night fell, and it became more and more difficult to see the road through the mountains and forests.

Xin Chaihu's ears are very good, but his eyesight is average, of course, this is related to the fact that he had a serious illness before. The road was hard to see, so he had to keep exploring the road with tree branches, barely trying to buy as much time as he could.

The reason why he is so anxious is because he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows very well that the enemy will never give up easily, and after the leper dragon, there may be a toad or a leper dog waiting for them in front!

Because of the rain that had just fallen in the afternoon, the deep twilight in the mountains and forests was as heavy and pitch black as a huge piece of black iron......

Rao is eyesight is poor, Xin Chaihu relies on the excellent ear power beyond ordinary people, but it is not difficult to notice - some subtle abnormal sounds that appear in the forest on the side of the road from time to time! He knew very well in his heart that there were still young people in the forest who wanted to do bad things, these people were either little thieves who wanted to rob the road, or they were night watchers of the Grimace Division.

More than 20 miles in front of Xin Chasing Tiger, there is a small acropolis "Shushi Town" on the side of the mountain. At this time, most of the townspeople closed their doors early and began to rest, and the whole town was left with only the watchtower guarding the mountain pass and the "Nightless" tavern in the southeast corner of the town.

Although the "Never Sleeps" tavern is located in a small town on the side of the mountain, its business has always been thriving. This is mainly due to the fact that an official road half a mile away is full of traffic and people all year round. On that official road, from time to time, there are businessmen who come and go, porters who run freight on behalf of them, and officials who go to work pass by here, and they all need to find a nearby place to rest and rest, so the "Nightless" tavern often becomes the best choice for these people.

It seems that this tavern is indeed a comfortable and convenient pleasant place, but tonight, there is a faint smell of unusual air in the "never sleepy sky". In the high-class box near the back door of the tavern, from time to time there were some "Lian Jiazi" dressed in night clothes and with vigorous looks hurriedly coming in and out......

In a remote corner of the tavern lobby, an old man was enjoying half a pot of turbid wine alone with a plate of peanuts. He wrapped a circle of cloth around his eyes, and leaned beside him an extremely dilapidated erhu, apparently a wandering old blind man who made a living from his performances.

Listening to the chaotic footsteps coming from the side of the high-class box, the old blind man shook his head lightly imperceptibly, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth......
