At this time, it was the tenth spring of Hongjia, and Qi He kowtowed to their parents in front of their graves.

After getting up, he carefully took the corner of the clothes of the strange young man he met for the second time, and called him in a low voice, "Master." ”

Lin Zhi held his hand in his palm and said with a low smile, "I didn't plan to be your master. ”

The child's body stiffened, and his hands were still cold when he was wrapped in the warm palms of the young man, and he did not speak.

"You are not suitable for raising Gu, and I can't teach you, but I will let others teach you, and I will let you learn a lot."

Lin Zhi said that the clouds were light and light, and he was very determined.

The art of witchcraft is not spread to the outside world, and it requires talent and hard work, not everyone in the village can do it, let alone pass it on to outsiders, and Qi He's situation is not suitable for becoming a Gu master.

From the moment he read the information, Lin Zhi decided to let him go down another path.

"You can call me brother."

This body is seventeen years old, Qi He is eight years old, and the difference between them is nine years, and they are not yet at the point where they call their uncle or godfather.

Around this, Qi He still insisted on the original title.

"You are my master."

It turned out that this person was a Gu master, although his father was not good at martial arts, but he liked things in the rivers and lakes very much, and when he talked about Gu Sect, Qi He thought of his father, and his gray eyes became more and more dim.

The title of 'elder brother' made him feel very uneasy, this man could have many younger brothers at any time, maybe he would be so excited to take the others away in the future, or maybe he would just forget about him on a whim.

The master and apprentice are different, and everyone in the rivers and lakes attaches great importance to the bond between master and apprentice.

Qi He pursed his lips, which were a little blood-pale and white, he had already done this, he couldn't lose this life-saving straw.

Lin Zhi smiled, whatever Qi He called him.

The night is deep and heavy, soaking people's bone marrow and making them cold.

Qi He heard his laughter, wrapped in the new clothes that Lin Zhi had asked him to change, and felt the heat.

Lin Zhi looked at the child who was obediently led by him and didn't ask anything, lowered his head and asked him, "Don't you ask me where I will take you, aren't you afraid?" ”

He thought that Qi He would shake his head, because Qi He looked very strong, and the pain of the Gu poison was not an itch, not long after he left the Qi family that day, he heard the news of the accident of the little son of the Qi family, and the child who made a decision in such a short time and could bear the pain would definitely not be easily exposed.

However, Qi He nodded, raised his head and whispered, "I'm afraid." ”

"I'm afraid that Master won't come to pick me up, I'm afraid I'll be deceived, I'm afraid that Grandpa will wake up and hear the news and think I'm also dead."

Qi He's eyes that lost their luster were still black and white, even if he couldn't focus, he still looked in the direction of Lin Zhi with his senses.

"But it's useless to be afraid, I will try not to become a burden to Master."

Even when he was talking about fear, there was no panic on the child's face, and he tried his best to show composure, but after all, he was only eight years old, and he couldn't hide his kung fu at home, and he still revealed his uneasiness.

He is too well-behaved and sensible, full of precociousness that has been tempered by the changes of the world, and he has hopes and prayers for not being abandoned in the subtleties, which makes people unbearable.

Even if such a child is a stranger, it will make people feel pity, not to mention that this is a juvenile version of the lover's fragments, and the emotions in Lin Zhi's eyes are getting softer and softer.

He pinched Qi He's white and tender face, and said, "You won't be a burden to me." ”

He stroked the broken hair on the side of the young man's sideburns, and his voice was gentle but hidden cold: "Don't worry, those who do bad things will be paid with blood." ”

Qi He didn't know what the master looked like, but at this moment, the vague outline in his mind became clearer, like a flower that bloomed very well but hid poisonous thorns, Qi He was not afraid, and even had some strange peace of mind.

The lonely moon hung high, and the falling light lengthened the shadows of the master and apprentice.

There was a curfew in the city, and Lin Zhi didn't plan to take Qi He out of the city at night.

He had already changed to an inn to book a room, and when he was about to walk to the door of the inn, Lin Zhi squatted in front of Qi He and hugged him.

The eight-year-old child is already very weighty, and Lin Zhi is not hard to hold.

Qi He was frightened by Lin Weaving's sudden movements, and was a little overwhelmed.

He has grown up, and his father will not hold him anymore, only his grandfather will occasionally pick him up and weigh him, and suddenly he is picked up by the still strange master, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Keep your head down, pretend to be asleep, and don't let anyone here see the abnormality in your eyes."

Lin Zhi whispered in his ear, although those people in the rivers and lakes have almost left, some are still in the city, and the murderers behind the Qi family's affairs may also have left people here.

Qi He understood his master's intentions, tried to relax his body, and buried his head on Lin Zhi's shoulder to avoid being seen by others.

Lin Zhi carried the child into the inn, only the running hall was dozing off in the store at night, and the running hall saw that it was a guest who had paid the room fee and had a good appearance, and greeted him, and heard that the guest wanted hot water, and he was happy to run errands.

"Take a hot shower in a moment, change your clothes, and we'll leave tomorrow."

After Lin Zhi entered the room, he put Qi He down and talked about tomorrow's plan.

Qi He sat on the bed in a regular manner, nodded obediently, and still didn't ask where to go.

Lin Zhi took the initiative to inform: "Let's go to Wucheng." ”

Qi He's eyes were a little dazed: "Wucheng? ”

Qi He has seen the geographical chronicles, starting from Chunyi, Miaojiang and Wucheng are two directions.

"I'm going to do a personal business."

Lin Zhi narrowed his eyes, on the day Qi He faked his death, Wang Gu lost his sense of heart control Gu.

There are only two possibilities for this, the Heart Control Gu is dead, or it has been parasitic in the human body.

So many people in the rivers and lakes gathered in Chunyi because of the Qi family's affairs, and those who need to control their hearts may take this opportunity to start, or they may have something to do with the Qi family's affairs, but they can't make a direct conclusion.

Lin Zhi didn't plan to do that, even if the Heart Control Gu couldn't be recovered, he had to figure out what was going on.

The traitor who stole the Heart Control Gu was also a good Gu cultivator in the village, a Gu master who raised Gu worms, and his body was different from ordinary people.

Lin Zhi used Gu worms to find the traces of the traitor, but he didn't directly come to the door to startle the snake, and he was still worried about Qi He, so he left something on the traitor's body that was easy to track.

The traitor had already left Chunyi alone four days ago, and Lin Zhi followed her to Wucheng and returned, and the rest of the day he went to the Nine Yuan Dart Bureau and spent some silver taels in advance.

This is Mrs. Qi's private property, and it is the property that Qi He should inherit.

Lin Zhi brought enough silver taels when he went out this time, and he didn't do it for daily expenses.

Walking the rivers and lakes depends on kung fu, and it is indispensable to play with money, Miao Jiang has always avoided the world, there are not too many contact points in the Central Plains, for Qi He's revenge in the future, it is also Lin Weaving's businessman nature, he is used to preparing in advance, and everything is indispensable for start-up capital.

Lin Zhi didn't hide this matter from Qi He, and explained the reason to him.

Qi He was stunned and nodded.

After hesitating for a while, he informed Lin Weaving of the location of the account office of the Nine Yuan Dart Bureau.

"My family's account book was put in my father's study by my mother, if the master finds it, he can see my mother's profits, just take the money according to that amount, I can't get it back for the time being, not to mention that I am already a dead person on the surface, the master takes a part of it, you don't have to explain to me, what is mine is the master's."

Qi He unconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes and wrinkled the edges.

"It's not a good thing to believe in people that way."

Lin Zhi leaned over, his voice full of pleasure.

He was happy not because of Qi He's flattery, but because he felt that Qi He's character was very interesting, and he was meticulous when he was young.

His sentence of taking money according to winning profits has different meanings in the ears of people with different temperaments.

It can be said that 'don't take more money', or it can be said 'don't take less money'.

Qi He shook his head and said, "I won't trust others casually, but Master is not someone else." ”

He didn't know where Lin Zhi was, so he could only look for direction with some hesitation, full of a sense of dependence.

There was a knock on the door of the guest room, and it was two guys who came to deliver water.

When there was a knock on the door, Qi He fell down and pretended to be asleep against the wall, and after the guys left, Lin Zhi bolted the door and Qi He sat up from the bed.

"Take a hot shower and go to bed, do you want me to help you undress?"

Lin Zhi led Qi He behind the screen, crossed his arms and asked.

Qi He shook his head again and again, because a little blush appeared on his pale face.

Even though he couldn't see, he was able to put on and take off his clothes.

It's just that he is not very familiar with the layout of the inn, and after groping for a while, he still whispers to Master.

Lin Zhi put him in the water, this wooden barrel is a big barrel, it is still a little deep for a child, Qi He stood on the edge.

After his eyes were out of sight, Qi He's other senses were magnified many times, especially his hearing, so he could hear the sound of the cloth rubbing against him, and he pinched the edge of the barrel harder and harder.

Qi He is not used to bathing with people, but he has no right to refuse, and he still needs the help of his master.

The temperature of the water in the barrel was too high, but Qi He felt that the body temperature of the adult behind him who was still a stranger made him resist it even more.

Lin Zhi saw Qi He's tense appearance, he didn't mind, he didn't like to share the bath water with others, even if it was a child, but the person in front of him was an exception.

He first helped Qi He wash his hair, felt the child's body gradually relax, and then used a cloth towel to help him wash his back, and let the child do the rest by himself.

Lin Zhi called two buckets of hot water, washed them and then took the child to the second barrel to soak them again.

The hot water dispelled the musty smell and coldness in the coffin, and feeling the presence of the master behind him, Qi He lowered his head, and his thick black and slender eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Your eyes, how did the doctor diagnose them?"

Although Lin Zhi knew that Qi He's eyes were a symbol of the condition of the soul fragment, and it would only be good if his heart was completely healed, but no one except him knew this, and it would seem strange if he ignored Qi He's eyes and didn't seek a way.

"They couldn't find a reason."

Qi He still remembered the warm touch of his grandfather's blood splashing on his eyelids, and when he woke up again, he couldn't see.

This made his situation even worse, Qi He desperately wanted to see it, but those doctors couldn't find the cause, and even said that it might be that his grandfather's blood contained toxins or internal forces, which blinded him.

Qi He knew that his grandfather had already been half-crazy because of the death of his uncle's family, and he loved him very much when he was sober, and he was very good to him, but this time he was stimulated so much and the internal injuries were even more serious, Qi He didn't want to attribute the responsibility of his eyes to his grandfather, and he didn't want the master to say bad things about his grandfather, so he simply didn't mention it.

"Master, will my eyes always be blind?"

Qi He looked up at Lin Weaving, with uneasiness in his voice.

The faint flame of the candle illuminated his young face, and panic was hidden in his gray eyes.

The little boy's hand gripped Lin Zhi's wrist, as if to get strength or an answer from him.

Or rather, some kind of promise.
