The carriage moved slowly on the official road.

In the rickety carriage, Zhang Fatman, who had eaten a lot of wine and food just now, couldn't help but hang his head, and a loud snoring sound was even and deafening from his nostrils.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and looked at the young man lying in the middle of the carriage with interest.

At the moment his eyes were closed, his face was pale and bloodless, and he looked like he was asleep.

However, if he was able to fall asleep in the thunderous snoring of Zhang Fatzi, Ye Feng would not believe it.

It's just that this young man looks good-looking, and even a little quiet, no matter what, I can't imagine that he will be the most terrifying killer among the famous "cold-blooded thirteen killings" in the rivers and lakes, the poisonous snake!

Ye Feng looked at his calm face, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

Fate is really impermanent, the last time he first saw a poisonous snake in the desert, the poisonous snake was still a killer who took other people's money and was bent on assassinating him.

Unexpectedly, today he became a wounded person who could not move under serious injuries, and he became a bodyguard to escort him along the way.

The world is really a bit ironic.

Ye Feng was thinking about it, but the poisonous snake with his eyes closed suddenly opened his mouth and asked coldly: "What are you always looking at me for?

His face was not strange, and he was even a little handsome.

At this time, the viper opened its eyes.

Seeing his eyes, Ye Feng couldn't help but shiver.

It doesn't look like a person's eyes, pale yellow eyes, slender pupils, and it's really a pair of poisonous snake eyes!

The weirdness and murderous aura in these eyes made people shudder.

Ye Feng smiled reluctantly and said, "No, it's nothing." ”

The viper's eyes stared at Ye Feng for a long time, and there was a lazy meaning in his voice: "It looks like you're curious?"

Ye Feng smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I just think that the last time I saw you in the desert, you still came to deal with our assassins, but now you have become friends who fight side by side with us, it's really unpredictable!"

When the poisonous snake heard this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Yes, it is indeed unpredictable. ”

Ye Feng blinked, and couldn't help but ask, "I'm a little strange, why are you helping us?"

The poisonous snake glanced at him, and said lightly: "What's so strange about this, it's just a business, Tang Da can afford it, and I will work for him." That's all. ”

Ye Feng stared at the poisonous snake, shook his head and said, "That's not right. If it's just a business, I don't think all the killers in the world will take this business. ”

"The target of this business assassination is the Sword Saint, who is the Sword Saint? That is a myth in the martial arts, maybe no killer in the world can be sure that he can succeed with one blow, let alone that he can escape with his whole body. ”

"Without a life, no matter how high the asking price is, there is no meaning, such a trade-in that erodes the old capital, but anyone who has a little brain, and is not a madman, I am afraid that no one is willing to do it. But you knew that the object was the Sword Master, but you still accepted it without hesitation, I'm afraid it's not just for money, right?"

The poisonous snake looked at Ye Feng and suddenly asked, "Do you think I look like a fool without a brain, or a delirious madman?"

Ye Feng shook his head, of course he wasn't.

The viper smiled self-deprecatingly: "So when I knew that I was going to assassinate the Sword Saint, of course I would be afraid of death, and I was terribly afraid." So now you can guess why I took such a business?"

After talking for a long time, he didn't say anything, and threw the question back to Ye Feng.

Ye Fengwang

The poisonous snake said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, the relationship between you and Tang Da is not like an ordinary employer and a killer, but it looks like a ......."

The viper asked, "What is it?"

Ye Feng said: "Friend!"

Hearing these two words, the poisonous snake was obviously stunned for a moment, and something seemed to light up in his eyes.

But soon, that little light disappeared, and it dimmed again, and his face showed a look of gloom, and he said, "Friend, I'm just a killer, and a killer can't have feelings, so how can he have any friends?"

Ye Feng looked at the poisonous snake in front of him, although his words were ruthless, but it seemed to be trying his best to hide something, under the indifferent appearance, there was also a hot beating heart.

At this moment, Ye Feng's heart swelled with a sense of déjà vu, the poisonous snake in front of him was very similar to a friend of his before, Tang Qiu!

The same indifferent appearance, the same with a burning heart longing for friendship.

It's just that Tang Qiu has borne his father's blood feud since he was a child, and he has been surrounded by hatred all his life, and he lives for revenge. From childhood to adulthood, there is only continuous martial arts practice, only endless loneliness and darkness.

Ye Feng let him see the warm friendship for the first time, and was the first and only friend in his short life.

So, what has happened to the viper, and why does he behave so coldly and yet yearn for friendship?

Ye Feng was curious.

After listening to Tang Qiu's story in Ye Feng's mouth, the poisonous snake was silent, perhaps he also felt the same and empathized with the pain and desire in Tang Qiu's heart.

After a long time, he asked lightly, "Do you really want to know the story about me?"

Ye Feng nodded.

The poisonous snake let out a long breath and said, "Actually, my story is nothing special, it is very ordinary and ordinary in this troubled world. I was an orphan, a little beggar for as long as I could remember, wandering and starving. ”

"I don't know who my parents were, I don't know if they abandoned me, or if they died in war or famine, but in my memory I was alone in this world, never feeling a trace of warmth. ”

"Speaking of which, I do have one thing that is different, and that is that my eyes have been like this since I was a child, and they don't even look like a person's eyes. So, wherever I went, it would cause a commotion among the people, who felt that I was not human, called me a snake demon, feared me, avoided me, and even bullied me and drove me away. ”

"Once, I was beaten to the point of dying, with several broken bones in my body, and I was lying in a mud pit after the rain waiting to die. And all this is only because the people in this village believe that I am a monster and will bring disaster to the whole village, and they do not think that I am just a frail ordinary five-year-old child. ”

The viper recounted these painful pasts, reaching out to caress the old scars on his body, curled up as if he had returned to the past, and he had become the bullied five-year-old boy lying in the mud with bruises and waiting to die, his eyes full of pain and despair.

Ye Feng could also feel from his eyes what kind of situation he was in at that time, and there was also an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

But suddenly, the gloom of pain in the serpent's eyes was swept away, and they were filled with sunny hope, and he continued: "Just when I thought I was going to die this time, and secretly rejoiced that I could finally get rid of all the torture and sleep peacefully, I met the man who changed my life from now on. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"

The poisonous snake smiled and said: "No one knows what his real name is, only that his surname is Zhu, and everyone who knows his deeds calls him Zhu Dashan."

”

"Zhu Dashanren?" Ye Feng repeated, this name was very unfamiliar, and he had never heard of it before.

The viper nodded and said, "Not bad." It is said that he was once very wealthy, and his ancestors left thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of family wealth, but it is a pity that several generations of people have been blessed with shallow lives and died in a short life. ”

When he reached his generation, he thought that his ancestors were not virtuous and could not be blessed by God, so he began to do good deeds desperately. He built bridges and paved roads, was kind and charitable, helped the poor, donated to the victims, and spent the thousands of family wealth left by his ancestors in the past few decades. ”

However, he did not feel sorry for the money at all, even if he went from being rich to being poor now, clothed and vegetarian, he had no complaints. The only thing he left behind was the big mansion of his ancestors, not for anything else, but to take in those orphans who wandered around and were lonely and helpless after the catastrophe. ”

Ye Feng nodded, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, such a kind person is really rare in the world.

Viper continued: "That year, he met me on the way, who was seriously wounded, and brought me back to the mansion. From then on, like the other orphans there, I had a place to live, food, clothes to wear, and a real home. ”

Ye Feng looked at the satisfied expression on the face of the poisonous snake, and it was not difficult to imagine the joy and gratitude in his heart that a child who had suffered a lot and had no support, suddenly had a home.

However, he still asked: "Then your martial arts were also taught by this Zhu Dashan?"

The poisonous snake shook his head and said: "Zhu Dashan doesn't know martial arts at all, he really has no power to restrain the chicken, and the kung fu of my three-legged cat is all taught by a man in black." ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "The man in black?"

The viper nodded and said: "At that time, I was about seven years old, and I had been to Zhu Dashan's place for about two years, and one night I forgot the hour because of playfulness, and I didn't return to the mansion after dark, and I was worried that I would be punished after I went back, but on the hillside behind the mansion, I met a man in black. ”

"This man in black said that I was a genius in bones, talented, and a natural martial arts wizard, and I was too young to understand at the time, but he showed his kung fu, and he broke a small tree on the side with his bare hands, which opened my eyes, so I wanted to learn martial arts with him. ”

"After that, I sneaked to the hillside every night without everyone else, and studied martial arts with him, and I studied martial arts for ten years, and I didn't even know who he was. It wasn't until ten years later that one day he suddenly told me that my martial arts had become a small success, and he asked me to help him kill people. ”

"It turns out that this man in black is a killer on the rivers and lakes, specializing in collecting money from people and killing people. But this time he missed and was injured, and he had no choice but to hope that I could help him complete the task. This is also my repayment for his ten years of teaching. ”

Ye Feng was stunned: "You agreed?"

The poisonous snake smiled bitterly and said, "How could it be?" At first, I naturally resolutely refused, but I couldn't withstand his persuasion for many days, and at that time, a big event happened to happen. For many years, in order to raise our group of orphans, Zhu Dashan people have been unable to make ends meet, owed debts to others, and have been pursued many times, and they have no choice but to sell the last big house to pay off the debts. ”

"This big mansion has been the home of our orphans all these years, and it is the last bit of property of Zhu Dashanren, and nothing can be said to let it be sold. In desperation, I had to make an agreement with the man in black, and he would pay me a high amount of money, and I would kill for him. ”

"Originally, I thought that after doing this time, I would use the money to pay off the debts for Zhu Dashan, keep the big house, and save the homes of all of us. I did it only once, and from then on, I washed my hands and never did anything like this again. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Who knows, things will develop far beyond my imagination!"
