"Let's go. Don't thank you for saving your life. ”

Qin Ke looked at the inn that was gradually engulfed by the fire, patted the shoulder of the last merchant rescued from the fire, and sighed a little helplessly.

There were not many who were really burned to death, and when Qin Ke and Bai Qi rushed in to save people, the billowing smoke had already taken away the lives of many merchants, but fortunately, some people followed Lao Pang to the roof of the building, and they escaped the catastrophe.

The merchants who had escaped death stood in the open space in front of the inn in twos and threes, their tear-stained faces illuminated by the firelight, and the gradually sinking night overwhelmed everyone.

Picked up a life, but things also got bigger.

The more than 30 cavalrymen who fled back will inevitably return to Taishou as quickly as possible to inform them of everything that happened here, and how could this father, who had lost his beloved son, let go of Qin Ke, the enemy who killed his son?

"I'm leaving, you guys should go quickly, the farther you go, the better, it's best to go to Mo's house and Jingwu...... As for his family, it is impossible for him to find them with his hands and eyes for a while, as long as he lives, there is always a chance to go back to see them. ”

It's like himself, as long as he lives, there will always be a chance to see the master again.

After saying this, Qin Ke looked at the boss who was holding the body of the boss, crying desolate like a lone wolf, and couldn't bear it for a while.

In fact, he also thought that if he had made a move earlier, would the result be different? Would there have been fewer deaths? Just like when he met the mountain bandits in Black Eagle Ridge at that time, in fact, if he and Abu had made a move earlier, they might have been able to fight side by side with Shen Darttou and Shi, and they would not have died.

It's just that Gao Yishui has comforted him countless times after that, no matter whether he makes a move or not, many tragic things will still happen eventually, even if he meets it every time, he can stand up for the first time, but if the mountains are full of fires, how much can he extinguish with this bucket of water?

"Young man. At this time, the businessman Lao Pang came over, "Thank you Shaoxia for today's events." It's just me...... I'm afraid I can't accompany Shaoxia to Mo's house, this bear skin, just take it as my apology, you can keep it yourself. If you really want to exchange some money, you can go to the Mo family's Ji School Palace and find a buyer surnamed Zhang Mingyanling, I have an old relationship with him, and I believe that the bid will never be low. ”

Qin Ke squinted slightly, looked at the old man with a lot of black ash on his face, and asked strangely, "Why is this?"

Lao Pang raised his hands respectfully and raised his hands forward, and said: "If such a thing happens, I know that trouble will definitely follow, but if I want to spend the rest of my life in the Mo family or Jing Wu, ignoring my wife and children, I can't do it after all." I still have some ancestral business in the countryside, although not much, but it is a piece of land, as for whether I will be caught, everything depends on the will of God. ”

Qin Ke was silent for a while, looking at Lao Pang's eyes full of sincerity, he really couldn't say anything against it.

"This place of peace is my home. Qin Ke remembered the classics that his master asked him to recite when he was a child, and there was such a sentence in it, which he still never forgets.

He thought about it, but still handed the burden wrapped in the demon bear skin to Lao Pang's hand, and comforted: "Since you have already paid, we should be both silver and goods, how can there be any reason to get it back, don't be too pessimistic, after all, those cavalry have only seen me and Bai Qi, maybe you will be fine...... If the rumors pass, and you find a suitable buyer to sell the bearskin, your son will pay the dowry, won't he?"

Lao Pang looked at Qin Ke gratefully, and was about to kneel down almost immediately, but Qin Ke held his arms.

"Shaoxia, Lao Pang is here...... Thank you Shaoxia!" Lao Pang didn't know whether it was surprise or excitement, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes for a while.

When Lao Pang left, Qin Ke looked at the fire that had already lit up the sky, and the crowd that was gradually thinning, and silently walked under a big tree.

Chu Gou was sitting there, staring blankly at the small sharp knife in the boss's hand that had been inserted into his chest, and the tears no longer flowed from his tear-stained face, only a sloppy expression remained.

A few hours ago, the proprietress pointed at his head and scolded him as a "pig dog", and he always had to refute, and even fought for it, and the boss treated him like a conscientious uncle, he was such an easy-going, such a simple person.

Last night, he was still sitting at a table with the boss drinking and chatting, and the boss kept rolling his eyes and twisting the boss's ears from time to time while coming over, telling the boss not to get too drunk......

And the boss just frowned, waved his hand, and began to babble again, saying: "Since your father entrusted you to me, I am half your father, and it seems that I have to find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, otherwise if you are a bachelor in the future, I will not be able to explain to your father." ”

Chu Gou looked disdainful, his ambition in his heart was very big, where would he be satisfied with finding a daughter-in-law in this countryside for a hasty life? He felt that he would definitely join the army in the future, galloping on the battlefield, and maybe he could become a general, just like the Jingwu God of War...... What's high? Hmm...... can also be inferior to the god of war, at least be a partial general. By then, won't all the pretty girls have to line up to rush to him?

The boss saw his careful thoughts, and laughed: "Are you still thinking about joining the army? Just the three-legged cat kung fu you learned from the passer-by, I'm afraid that you can't even beat an ordinary sergeant when you join the army, and you still want to be a general?" There are thousands of troops on the battlefield, eyes are full of knives and guns, and there are dead people all over the ground, you kid don't pee your pants!"

Of course, Chu Gou refused to admit defeat, and stubbornly said that as long as he went to the battlefield and held the sword, he would naturally not be afraid.

Then the boss laughed, plopped on his arm and fell drunk.

And now, he was really scared to pee his pants, and the boss and the boss lady had left him forever.

Qin Ke approached him and said softly, "Bury them well, and you should leave quickly." ”

In fact, he saw the boss take out the sharp knife from his arms, and he also had the opportunity to go up to block it, but he still didn't make a move, although he was just a passerby, but he also knew that the boss inserted the sharp knife into his chest, and how much courage he mustered up to die with the boss's wife, and how desperate he was.

At this time, death is a kind of sustenance for him.

Qin Ke saw that Chu Gou was motionless, sighed, took out a book from his arms, squatted down and handed it over, "Here you go." ”

Chu Gou looked at him blankly: "What is it......?"

"Yuan Gongzi found it. Qin Ke glanced at the corpse not far away, although it was indeed simple for him to kill with a sword just now, but he never thought that the merchants who escaped from the inn were full of resentment, and without saying a word, he picked up stones or tables, chairs and benches and rushed up and smashed them, and now the corpse looks miserable, and this book was also dropped at that time.

"I have recorded some of his practices, I heard that you want to join the army in the future, if it is true, then this should have some effect on you. ”

Chu Gou's eyes suddenly became a little lively, he looked at the book in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his absurd and unrealistic fantasies, and subconsciously stretched out his trembling hand, wanting to hold this book.

It was only halfway through, but he stopped, bit his lip and stood up suddenly, he stood in front of Qin Ke and knelt down violently, knocking his head with a bang.

Qin Ke was a little overwhelmed by his actions, and hurriedly reached out to help: "What are you doing? ”

"Not thanks. Chu Gou's eyes were firm, and he wiped his dirty face vigorously with his blood-stained cuffs, but the dirty face was not wiped clean, and it was dyed scarlet, "Hero, I know that your cultivation is high, so many people are not your opponents, I don't want this thing, you can accept me, I can treat you as a cow and a horse, as long as you can pass on something to me in your spare time......"

Qin Ke looked at Chu Gou dumbfounded, he didn't expect him to say this, and said in a daze: "Where does this start? I'm not much older than you, and I'm still an apprentice, where will I teach any disciples?" Besides, I won't stay in the Tang Kingdom for a long time, you get up quickly, don't worship, I can't be your master!"

"The hero doesn't look down on me, I know. Chu Gou gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't ask the hero to be my master, I just want to be a servant by your side, serving tea and water, washing and cooking, I can do everything, as long as you say a word, even if I let me block the sword for you, I am willing, just ask you to take me." ”

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "I don't look down on you, and I don't need a servant, I can do what you say." ”

Chu Gou grabbed Qin Ke's sleeve reluctantly, and said, "Hero, I have this secret book now, even if I start practicing tomorrow, it is impossible to find a way to practice without guidance, but I really want to be a cultivator, I don't want to be so sloppy for the rest of my life...... The proprietress died, and all I knew was crying next to me, and when the knife came to me, I only knew how to beg for mercy...... The boss is dead, I can't even cry, I've had enough of this wretch!"

Where has Qin Ke ever seen such a situation, his qi and blood cultivation was enlightened by Zhuge Wolong, and the exercises and Xunfeng's techniques complement each other, how should he teach others?

Moreover, it was not smooth sailing for him to go from cultivation to enlightenment at the beginning, and it took three years for him to get a glimpse of the door, which was also due to his special physique and talent.

"I really can't. Qin Ke could only forcibly stuff the book slip into Chu Gou's hand, "After all, qi and blood cultivation is not as demanding talent as spiritual practice, you practice according to this book, you can always get started in time, take care!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.

But at the moment when he just took a step, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head suddenly, only to find that Chu Gou was holding the sharp knife that the boss had just used to commit suicide in his hand, and put it on his neck.

"Hero, no matter what, I'm with you. Chu Gou said hoarsely: "If you don't want me, I will die in front of you!"

The blood from the sharp knife that had just been pulled out of the boss's chest was still warm, but the edge was cold against his skin, making his hairs stand on end.

Of course, he was afraid of death, and the commotion in his crotch had been helping him recall the fear he had before.

But now he is even more afraid of living!

It's better to live in a nest than ......

He closed his eyes, exerted a slight force in his hand, and gradually felt a tingling pain from the tip of the knife......
