Chen Yuan was galloping in the alley with Ji Tongcheng, who had been unconscious for a long time, under his armpits, and Dai Er, who followed closely behind, occasionally helped to lightly support, Chen Yuan didn't want to do this physical work, but Dai Er insisted: "You carry him in front of you to run, I will help you support you in the back, your light work is not under me, in case I run away, I can't catch up." ”

Seeing that he was about to leave the city, Dai Er suddenly remembered something, learned an eagle's cry, and saw a figure standing on the top of the city gate building, clearly reflecting the dark outline on the full moon, and the slender figure carrying a round of silver moon "swish" came to the front of him, and the voice arrived before people: "Why are you so long today!" ”

"Hey! It's not ......," Dai Er said as he pointed to Chenyuan.

"Brother Yuan!" The visitor's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "Why are you?" Then look at Daiji: "How are you with this thing." ”

Now the second generation was full of incredulity, and his eyes were bigger than cow eggs: "What! You two know each other! ”

Both of them ignored Dai Er, and Chen Yuan came back with a smile: "Oh, Xiao Ming, long time no see." After speaking, he bared out a mouth full of snow-white and neat teeth.

Gu Ming was called Xiao Ming in front of Dai Er, he looked a little embarrassed, and just about to say something, he heard Chen Yuan say: "Is Uncle Du still tough?" Gu Ming's face turned red, but he still stubbornly arched his hand: "My father is fine, but my brother is worried." ”

"What? Your father's original surname was Du, Du Ming! Dai Er roared wildly, startling several night owls on the city wall.

"Shut up!" Gu Ming was very angry, and his name was changed at that time.

"That's right, loneliness and loneliness mean the same thing, Gu Ming and Du Ming are the same, but these two names are not as good as Dugu Ming, they are still a compound surname, what do you think of Xiao Ming?" Dai Er learned Chenyuan to bare his teeth, and learned to call him Xiao Ming by Chenyuan.

Gu Ming's hand had reached out to the back of his head, and he was about to grasp the handle of the knife, gritting his teeth and looking at Dai Er's eyes, as if he was looking at a dog that had a bubble of urine on a person's leg and was jumping around the person in circles, he really wanted to beat him.

"Haha, Xiao Ming, how did you know this rammer?" Chen Yuan was so annoyed by Dai Er's appearance that he forgot that he still had the richest man under his arm, and fell to the ground with a "bang", falling out with a half-muffled snort, and the second half of the sound was because he still had to pretend to be unconscious, so he couldn't help it.

Being called ramming goods one after another, Dai Er was a little unbearable, and was about to open his mouth, only to hear Gu Ming say: "Brother Yuan, this is the brother I told you when you came last time, the master and apprentice of Lingyun Palace, Dai Er." ”

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder, his body is much more fierce than his master." Chen Yuan said. "I saw that he would be the true legend of Lingyun Palace, and I asked him just now that he was here, and he said he wouldn't tell me about this thief." Chen Yuan smiled again.

"Thieves?" Gu Ming glared at Dai Er suspiciously, knowing that he must have done something brainless again.

Dai Er was a little panicked, and shouted: "What are you staring at Lao Tzu, come and listen to ......" So the spit flew sideways and told the ins and outs of the situation, and when he described that he was taken by Chenyuan's sword, he was even more a little whiskered and stared, quite unconvinced.

Gu Ming ignored him after hearing this, and went straight to Chen Yuan and said, "Brother Yuan, what can I do?" Let's do it together. ”

"What's together? Even if you two know each other, you don't know if what he said is true or not! What are you doing together? Daiji jumped to his feet in shock.

Gu Ming didn't answer immediately, turned to Dai Er, and said to Dai Er with a straight face with a seriousness that he had never felt before: "As long as what he said, it is true." Seeing that Dai Er was still about to stiffen his mouth, he said firmly: "My trust in him is still above you." ”

Dai Er opened his mouth, didn't make a sound for a long time, and his throat seemed to be stuck by a mouthful of old phlegm, uh-uh, he couldn't stop talking, so he had to blush and close his mouth. stared at Chen Yuan hatefully, his eyes revealed a bit of resentment, like a woman who had been robbed of her lover. Chen Yuan was stared at and shuddered, and said to Gu Ming: "Okay Xiao Ming, you have to admit that this brother is a good man like you, no wonder you two can be called brothers." Both of them were a little cramped in this sentence. Chen Yuan said again: "Then let's go together, see how I prove it to this brother, otherwise his second brother will kill me in an hour." Then he turned his head and smiled at Daiji; Isn't that his second brother? ”

"As long as you still want to kill Brother Yuan, let's join forces to see if we can keep him." Gu Ming sighed.

"Oh, does my brother Gu also have someone to serve?" Dai Er teased.

Gu Ming ignored it and said to Chen Yuan: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

"Outside the city, Houjiachuan."

"Okay, I'll mention it to my brother."

"No, I'll do it myself, it's not heavy."

"Brother, don't be polite, you've mentioned it all the way, no matter how light it is, it's weird and tired."

"It's okay, it's just a small thing."

……

Dai Er watched the two of them fight for Ji Tongcheng who was unconscious, his eyes were straight, angry and funny. Say loudly: "Alright! I got it! After that, he grabbed the back of Ji Tongcheng's neck, slapped him in the face, and scolded: "Get up and go by yourself!" You're still faint and addicted, you're still addicted! When who doesn't know you're awake! I can't hear you snorting, and I can't smell your pee! Master Ji, who had been scared to pee, immediately swollen his face, and fell to his knees crying and slammed on the ground: "Grandpa spare your life!" "There is blood in the mud in the ground and mud in the forehead. Knowing that he couldn't die anymore, Chen Yuan was here to kill himself, this bearded man was originally facing himself, he pretended to be unconscious and wanted to find a chance to slip away, he didn't want to have another person, he was actually a mutual friend of the two, he could hear it when he woke up, the bearded man was called Dai Er, and he was a person from Lingyun Palace. What kind of behemoth is Lingyun Palace? He spent a lot of money to invite a master's smile, in the eyes of Lingyun Palace, I am afraid that it is not even a fart, at most it is half a fart, or half a stinky fart, and it will not make a sound. Such a person seems to be a little afraid of the one who carries a single knife, but the one who carries a single knife trusts Chenyuan unconditionally. Casually one person is going to die, three together. Dead, dead through.

"Don't be like this, master, how can I stand this." Chen Yuan said coldly.

"No, no, Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen, you are my master, I will be your dog in the future, you let me go, I will never do evil again. You null my martial arts and break my legs again! Please, I confess, I have done many evils, and I will be condemned by all of you. As long as Grandpa, and these two grandfathers, spare my dog's life, I will never do evil again in the future. "Uncle Ji no longer has any majesty, and he no longer has the illusion of escaping.

"Yes, you don't have to prove it, you admit it." Chen Yuan curled his right finger and picked his eyebrows, sighing rather boringly.

"! It's all true! "Daiji's beard stood on end, almost bursting his chest." "Slap" is another slap, poor Uncle Ji's mouth is full of broken teeth, because his face is so swollen that the two faces are closed together in front of his nose, and he can't spit it out. Dai Er still didn't understand his hatred, he clenched his palms into fists, and his palms were full of blood, and he was about to smash this miscellaneous piece to death with a punch. Chen Yuan kicked away this fatal punch, just like Dai Eryi kicked away the single palm that Chen Yuan slashed at Ji Tongcheng's eyebrows not long ago. "Stop me!" Dai Er's eyes widened angrily and shouted.

Chen Yuan was silent, looked at Ji Tongcheng and said slowly: "I won't kill you, but there is one condition." ”

"Grandpa! Don't say one condition, ten hundred deserve it! It's just ......" said and stopped, looking at the bearded man who had been protecting his life before, and now he had to die, and then looked at Gu Ming.

"Don't worry, I promise, they won't kill you either."

"Fart! I didn't say yes. Dai Er snorted violently, and before the words fell, he was about to shoot towards Ji Tongcheng, Gu Ming hurriedly strangled Dai Er's neck and whispered in his ear, Dai Er gradually calmed down, and only panted and looked at Chen Yuan.

"My conditions are very simple, go to Houjiachuan, you personally tell the truth to everyone inside, while you haven't harmed yet." Tatsu Yuandao.

"It should be, it should be! This is the first step in my repentance, and grandpa will do it myself if he doesn't say it! "Ji Tongcheng kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Houjiachuan, less than 30 miles west of Yincheng, is a small Zhuangzi, only fifty or sixty households. But the road from Yincheng to the capital is not as spacious and flat as Houjiachuan. Just because of the richest man in the silver city, the house is here. The people in the village are not strange, they think it is strange that only rich people do not like to eat meat, they love to eat wild vegetables. The houses in the city are good and lively, and if you don't live in it, you love to live in the countryside. Although he lives in the township, the richest man's family is not simple at all. The largest household, which accounts for nearly half of the size of the whole Zhuangzi, has a high courtyard wall, and the residents of the same Zhuangzi, the two houses stacked together are not as high as the half of the courtyard wall, not only high, but also thick, there are small and half thick city walls, there are small houses at the four corners of the courtyard wall, and all four are lit up, and it seems that there are people on duty at night. In the middle of the south wall is a vermilion lacquer gate, and there is a lock in the door. Generally with such a structure, then there is either a big terror in this courtyard, or there is a big wealth, or there is a big secret. It's not that you don't want something inside to come out, or you don't want something outside to get in.

This is the largest household in Ji Tongcheng's house, and it is not strange in the township - rich people, you can't protect yourself tightly. At this moment, the small half of Zhuangzi is brightly lit, that is, Ji Tongcheng's house. This big mansion is divided into more than 20 small courtyards, and at this moment, all the people in each courtyard are gathering in the banquet hall of the north courtyard, which is as big as four or five ordinary people. The head of the house gave an order, and asked the servants to bring those who slept and did not sleep, as long as they were still panting, to bring them here, although the face of the master of the house was already a little unrecognizable, or it could be said that he could no longer see his face, and the whole ass grew on his face. If it weren't for everyone's confirmation from the clothing, body shape, and waist accessories, this is the head of the family, and he would definitely laugh for a while. In a short time, all the people in the house arrived. Wu Yang was crowded with the house, and there were more than a dozen big men standing on the periphery, with unkind faces, who were the evil slaves of Ji Tongcheng. There were fifty or sixty children in the middle, both boys and girls. The oldest of these children was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was a pair of twins, who looked only three or four years old, and were held by a little girl of eight or nine years old.

"Begin, as I teach you." Chen Yuan gently stroked Ji Tongcheng's back, the latter's neck shrunk, gave a cold shiver, and said in a trembling voice: "Wang Pin, tie up all the family members first." "Okay, sir!" The servant who was called Wang Pin stood out from the dozen or so big men on the periphery, and he had already taken small steps to get the rope. It seems that this is Ji Tongcheng's chief lackey, he really takes him as the master, no matter how the master's face changes, how the years change, how wrong the situation is, it can't change Wang Pin's loyalty to the master, he can smell the master's smell and can make it clear who he is loyal to. In less than half a moment, Wang Pin had already tied up the two of them quickly, and some people were not like Wang Pin, and found that the momentum was not right, and the two of them had quietly moved slowly towards the person holding the gold owner hostage, and moved to the front with great difficulty, and suddenly jumped up to attack. It's just that the leaping figure stopped as soon as it reached midair, and fell stiffly to the ground, smashing with a muffled sound. Chen Yuan didn't make a move, but it was Gu Ming who took out two peanuts in his arms and hit the acupoint of the person who jumped up. When he was done, he took out two more and threw them into his mouth, chewing them, and watching. This is when drinking on the roof of the building and waiting for the second generation, eating the leftovers. There were also two big men who turned their heads and wanted to run, just like these two people, and fell to the door with two thuds, unable to move.

The children were frightened, and a bold little boy looked up and asked, "Who are you?" Why hit uncle? ”

"Uncle?" Without waiting for Chen Yuan to speak, Dai Erxian couldn't sit still: "We beat him, aren't you happy?" ”

"Uncle is a great man! You guys hit uncle! You're the bad guys! "The little boy was really bold.

"Those in this Zhuangzi are those who have not yet been harmed, or those who have been harmed, but have not yet known the truth." Chen Yuan turned his head and whispered to Daiji.

"Good! What a great guy! Dai Er's chest began to rise and fall violently again, and the back of Ji Tongcheng's head was a slap: "Tell Lao Tzu!" Hurry up! Ji Tongcheng was stunned, and it was easy to stand firm, and he said tremblingly: "Children...... You, you are all orphans that I have adopted, but I am the one who made you orphans. After Ji Tongcheng finished speaking, all the children in the audience looked at him fixedly, their faces full of doubts. You're fucking plain talking! I almost didn't understand, don't talk about children! "Dai Erzhao is another slap in the back of the head." Yes, yes, yes......" Ji Tongcheng only continued to speak, turned his head and said: "Your parents, family members, I killed them!" Now the children understood, some of them were frightened, some were confused, some were incredulous, but they didn't suddenly realize.

"I don't believe it!"

"Nonsense!"

"Uncle is a good man!"

……

Suddenly, the immature shouts came and went, believing that Ji Tongcheng was the child of the "good uncle" who adopted them, and it was almost all of them. Chen Yuan said: "Children are quiet, listen to me." The shouting was louder.

"Don't make any noise!" Daiji yelled. The child is a child in the end, it is useless to speak softly, and when he is a little frightened, he is immediately quiet.

"Whoever has been harmed by you, point it out." Chen Yuan said to Ji Tongcheng. After Ji Tongcheng called a few names, four twelve or thirteen little girls came out of the crowd, and a little boy who looked like he was just ten years old, walked closer.

"There's also a boy!" Dai Er asked shouting, but Chen Yuan was silent.

"Who are you?" Dai Er asked the boy.

"I'm a pet." The boy replied innocently, with wide eyes. Daiji's pupils shrank suddenly, he had heard this not long ago, and looked at Chenyuan.

"Whose pet are you?" Chen Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"I'm my owner's pet." As he spoke, he walked to Daiji, slowly hugged Daiji's buttocks, called out to the master, and then began to untie Daiji's belt with his immature little hands.

Dai Eryi pushed the child over, looked at the child's face full of grievances and doubts, and asked Chen Yuan in a trembling voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"He not only harmed the little girl, but also the little boy." Chen Yuan whispered to the two of them in a hoarse voice: "This little boy is different from everyone, he has a separate courtyard, he has been trained like this since he can remember, he has to greet adults like this, adults will be happy, he will be rewarded, there will be food." He doesn't even know what a pet is, he doesn't know what the owner means, he hasn't even been out of this yard since he was a child, in his cognition, the world is only so big, and the end of the earth is the courtyard wall of this house. He has no knowledge, no thoughts, no right and wrong, little understanding of joy, sorrow, and sorrow, and no glory or shame. Chen Yuan choked up a little: "He was really trained by Ji Tongcheng to be a pet, an upright pet." ”

The little boy looked at Chenyuan who was talking with a puzzled face, he didn't understand what Chenyuan was talking about, but when he heard the word "pet", he walked towards Chenyuan happily, and opened his immature arms to hug Chenyuan's ass. Chen Yuan touched the boy's head lovingly, and with a slight press of his middle finger on Baihui, the boy fell asleep.

"What about the four of you?" Dai Er asked the four-and-a-half-year-old girl standing in front of him again.

"I volunteered to serve my uncle, a great kindness, and there is no retribution, if it weren't for my uncle passing by to rescue me, I would have died under the bandits' knife with my mother. I'm of no use, I won't do anything, I can only repay it like this, as long as my uncle doesn't dislike it. Said the eldest of the four.

"Me too, my uncle bought me on the side of the road so that I would no longer be hungry and tormented." The other person complied.

"I was a little hesitant to repay my uncle like this, but after the enlightenment of Steward Wang, I decided." The third person said.

"Yes, I didn't want to repay my uncle like this, I can go out in the future, do laundry and cook for people, sew and mend things, I know a little piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I can even go to the city to be a singer, and I will give Uncle Ji a pension in the future." The last girl said: "But Steward Wang said, how can I have raised me for so many years in vain, and if I don't repay the master, I won't want to go out." The old man is kind enough to let me go, and he won't let me go. The girl sobbed.

"Which son of a bitch's butler Wang?" Daiji asked in a rough voice.

The girl looked back at Wang Pin, who had already tied everyone up at the outermost, and then she was standing there, crying even more.

Dai Er wanted to scold something, but Chen Yuan opened his mouth and asked the four of them, "How old were you rescued by your uncle?" ”

"I was nine years old when my mother was killed by bandits, and I am fourteen this year, and it has been five years." One replied. "Very young, four or five years old?" One person is not sure. "Seven-year-old" and "eight-year-old" replied the other two.

"Will you recognize the villain who killed your parents, or the gangster who sold you on the street, when you see you again?" Chen Yuan asked.

"I don't know." The eldest replied.

"I don't recognize it...... I was too young and scared. Another said.

The other two shook their heads as well.

All three were silent, and the room was full of people who thought their uncle was a good man. On one side are the "good people" who have "nurturing grace" for them, and on the other side are three strangers, especially the bearded strangers, who don't look like good people no matter how they look, and the uncle still has a swollen face. Yes! Uncle is very rich, and he must be targeted by these three gangsters! It wasn't enough for them to rob us, they must have tried to trick us out and sell us again.

The oldest people didn't recognize the enemy, let alone the rest. How can the children believe it, the three of them are at a loss for a while. Dai Erchang sighed: "You stupid girls, you are about to be killed by your good uncle, and you don't know it." ”

"How come, in a few days, I will be passed on to a family in Waizhuang as a daughter, and with the portal, I can still marry in the future." A girl's eyes were full of longing.

"Hey......" all three sighed at the same time.

"Just like Sister Yanqi, she married a good family, her husband and wife are loving, and I heard that they both have children." The girl whispered again.

Dai Er and Chen Yuan suddenly stood up a few straighters when they heard this, glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Do you recognize Yanqi?" ”

"All four of us recognize each other." The little girl's eyes widened and said, "Sister Yanqi is from the same yard as us, and she is the eldest and most beautiful of the five of us, and she is usually very good to us." After a pause, he said: "It's just that I was picked up by my uncle one day two years ago, saying that I found a family for my sister and was willing to marry us maids from big families." ”

"I'll pick it up!" As soon as the words fell, Dai Er had already crossed the east wall and walked out of the courtyard, leaving only Chen Yuan, who opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, and Gu Ming, who was confused.
