"Are you sure you're going to smash the pharmacy?"

The thin boy still looked smiling, looking very harmless to humans and animals.

Splashy Panhu swallowed his saliva, forced his composure, and glared: "Lao Tzu is very sure! What are you going to do!?"

"Oh... All right. ”

Ye Feng responded lightly.

Ye Feng's figure flashed, and the truncated hoe handle in Shuigenniang's hand on the side had already reached his hand, and then he "teleported" behind Pan Hu again.

"Poof".

The wooden hoe stabbed straight into Pan Hu's heart, piercing the skin in half.

The young man's series of actions are like flowing water, from opening to killing, the whole process takes less than a breath.

Pan Hu's eyes widened as he looked at the small piece of wooden stick that emerged from his chest, and let out two faint "hiccup" sounds in his throat, and finally fell to the ground.

"Don't blame me for not drawing my sword, I'm just afraid that your blood will dirty my sword. ”

Ye Feng looked at the fat tiger on the ground with round eyes, and said lightly.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Shuigen Niang behind him, and saw that she still maintained the posture of holding the hoe handle just now, so he stepped forward and patted her arm gently, full of apologies:

"Shuigen Niang, I frightened you, it's just that this Pan Hu is very greedy, and he really can't be left behind, otherwise there will be trouble. ”

The boy tugged at the woman's sleeve, a little worried, for fear that the bloody scene before her would scare her out of something.

Shuigen Niang was pulled twice, and finally came back to her senses, but her eyes were not as flustered or overwhelmed as Ye Feng imagined, but surprisingly calm and calm.

The woman glanced at Pan Hu's corpse on the ground, stepped forward and bent down, dragging the corpse with great effort, and said to the young man: "Xiao Langzhong, this corpse can't be placed here, many people have seen Pan Hu come out of the city with me, I don't have anything, I'm afraid that it will affect you in the future." ”

Ye Feng frowned when he heard this, stopped Shui Genniang, who was dragging the corpse, and then dragged Pan Hu's corpse towards the small river in the field like a chicken, and directly threw the corpse into the river.

Shuigen Niang, who looked directly, was stunned for a while, and couldn't believe that the young man's thin body had such great strength.

"The river is so fast-flowing that it won't be long before the corpses are washed downstream, don't worry. ”

Ye Feng returned to Shuigenniang and explained softly, picked up the two ingots of silver on the ground, stuffed them into the woman's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law, Shuigen is also seven or eight years old, you can find a private school for him early with this money, and the other children will be left behind in the future." ”

The woman looked at the two silver ingots in her hand and hesitated a little, she felt that Ye Feng had killed Pan Hu just now in order to save herself, and she shouldn't have reached out to ask for the silver taels, but thinking about the skinny son Shuigen at home, she still took it hard.

Without thanking Dai De, the woman couldn't stop shedding tears from the corners of her eyes, and she swore in her heart that she would definitely repay Ye Feng, a benefactor, in the future.

————

Back in Thousand Caves City, it was already night, Ye Feng sent Shuigen Niang home safely, first went to the pharmacy to take a look, saw that the pharmacy and the teahouse had been closed, and finally hurried back to the small courtyard.

In the fence courtyard, Ma Yu "Ma Lao" was holding a mahogany cane in his arms, and was sitting on a small bench face to face with Shen Ting, who was wearing a white dress, playing Go with the help of an oil lamp.

Shen Daoling was not in the courtyard, but seeing that the windows of his house were still lit with oil lamps, he thought that he should be researching some new prescription.

Hearing someone push the door, Shen Ting, who was in white, glanced sideways at Ye Feng, who was standing at the door, put down the chess pieces in her hand, pulled up her skirt and stood up, and returned to the earth house without saying a word.

The fairy wind bone Ma Lao was kneading a chess piece in his hand, and the old man looked at Ye Feng quietly with a warm smile on his face, as if he was waiting for something.

Ye Feng looked at Ma Lao's gentle eyes, smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head, he also felt that he didn't say hello in advance when he came back so late, which was indeed a little unreasonable.

The young man walked into the courtyard with a hard head, picked up his clothes and sat on the bench where Shen Ting was sitting before, and said to Ma Lao with a smile: "Grandpa Ma, this game of chess is not too enjoyable, boy, I will accompany you to finish." ”

The young man looked at Ma Lao expectantly, waiting for Ma Lao to fall.

But Ma Lao still didn't say a word with a smile on his face.

He stared at Ye Feng's eyes quietly for a long time, then coughed twice and slowly spoke: "Ahem, cough, cough~ Although I don't know any martial arts, old man, I have always had an innate ability." ”

Ma Lao raised his hand and tapped the tip of his nose, and while cleaning up the chess pieces on the chessboard, he said casually: "Another day, the bloody qi on your body today is too heavy to play chess." ”

Ye Feng was horrified in his heart, and the young man looked at Ma Lao, who was silently cleaning up the chessboard with a calm expression, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Ye Feng lowered his head and frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I killed the person who should be killed!"

After saying this, the young man's expression suddenly became a little solemn, as if he was planning to debate with the old man regardless of his seniority.

The white-haired old man unhurriedly put the black and white pieces into the chess game, looked up at Ye Feng twice, and saw the young man's serious face, the old man knew that the young man thought he was blaming him for killing someone.

So the old man twisted his beard under his chin, laughed heartily, waved his hand to the young man, and said, "Hehehe, don't think about it, I don't mean to blame you, because I believe that you will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and I know that you will never kill people easily because of yourself." ”

After speaking, Ma Lao put the chess stick on the chessboard, dusted off his sleeves, sat on the bench, and did not get up.

Ye Feng's face was overjoyed when he saw this, he hurriedly got up and went to the cauldron in the stove room to scoop some hot water and make a pot of tea, returned to the courtyard and poured a cup of tea for Ma Lao and himself, and finally sat back on the bench and looked at the old man quietly, waiting for the following.

Ma Lao took a sip of the teacup, turned his head to look at the vegetable patch in the small courtyard, his eyes were stunned.

After a long time, the old man sighed lightly, looked back at Ye Feng, and slowly spoke: "After escaping from Qingxi Town, are you bitter?"

Ye Feng didn't know how to answer for a while when he heard this, he didn't expect Ma Lao to ask himself such a question.

After a long silence, the boy shook his head slightly.

Ma Lao glanced at the young man's clenched fists with both hands, and the old man picked up the teacup and sent it to his nose to smell the tea, and said to himself: "Life is like this cup of tea." Bitter as tea, fragrant as tea. ”

The white-haired old man pinched the teacup in his hand and shook it, his eyelids drooped, stared at the tea in his hand, and said leisurely: "Half a cup of tea, watching the ups and downs of life." A quiet mind, see the cool world. Although there is heavenly cause and effect in this world, there are no absolutes in the world, and sometimes, it is good to have a clear conscience. ”

The old man looked up at Ye Feng with a smile and asked meaningfully, "You, have you understood?"

Under the moonlight, there was an indescribable complex emotion in the old man's cloudy eyes, including worries, doubts, and expectations.

Ye Feng lowered his head and gently rubbed the scars on the palms of his hands, savoring Ma Lao Fangcai's words in his heart, his brows furrowed more and more, as if something was dangling in front of him, and he could grab it with a stretch of his hand. But he stretched out his hand, but he didn't touch anything.

A light breeze blew, and only the white-haired old man with a slight back was left in front of the small table with a chessboard.

In the small porcelain cup on the opposite table, half a cup of tea was still gently rippling, and the young man who had been contemplating before had disappeared without a trace, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Ma Lao stroked his beard, nodded silently with a smile, and supported himself on crutches, while the old man rubbed his back with his hand, and walked to his room with a cough.

In the hut opposite the stove room, a cold girl dressed in white quietly looked at the empty small wooden table outside the house through the crack in the window, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, but she did not mean to turn off the lights and rest.

In the bamboo forest behind the fence yard, the thin Ye Feng stood motionless in the bamboo forest like a rock.

With a gust of wind blowing, a few emerald green bamboo leaves slowly fell, the young man slowly closed his eyes, held the sword in his left hand, and gently rested his right hand on the hilt of the Xuanmu sword, as if he was feeling some kind of mysterious and mysterious state of mind.

In the back basket on the ground not far away, the fat toad ingots carefully climbed out of the back basket and looked at Ye Feng, the dark frog eyes were full of worry, but he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he could only jump around the back basket restlessly.

At this time, Ye Feng fell into a situation that could be met but unattainable, but it was extremely dangerous: 'Epiphany'!

If great blessings fall from heaven, the young man can not only take this opportunity to eliminate a resentment in the depths of his heart, but even cultivate to at least improve a realm.

If you can't untie the knot and find your own faith, the young man is afraid that he will go mad and fall into the evil way, and even lose his life for it!

On the way to martial arts cultivation, opportunities and dangers are always equal to each other!

At the same time, in a deep mountain cave thousands of miles away, a man in green clothes wearing a simple long sword at his waist was giggling with three beautiful little foxes who had just cultivated into human shapes and wore tulle.

The man turned his head to look at the night outside the cave, withdrew his smile, put down the pai gow in his hand, got up and walked to the entrance of the cave, his eyes were full of worry and looked eastward, his expression was very solemn.

Seeing this, a thoughtful little fox hurriedly put down the pai gow in his hand, got up and came to the man's side, and asked cautiously: "Master, what are you?"

"You guys play first, I'll breathe. ”

The man waved his hand slightly, picked up the little red wine gourd on his waist, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and no longer paid attention to the little fox on the side.

Seeing this, the little fox hurriedly shut up, and stood aside respectfully waiting for the man's command, with a fluffy red tail sticking out of the gauze skirt behind him and shaking it gently.

The other two beautiful little foxes looked at each other suspiciously, although they felt a little inexplicable, but no one dared to speak, just quietly looked at the back of the man in Tsing Yi, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The cave that had been bustling and noisy before suddenly fell silent.

In a moment, there was a slight sound of slow footsteps from the depths of the cave, and with the sound, a petite fox with snow-white fur came out of the darkness.

The white-haired fox's golden eyes glanced at the three little foxes who had just been cultivated, and said, "It's none of your business here, let's go back to the nest to cultivate." ”

"Yes, Lord. ”

Several girls responded timidly, stood in a row and gave the little white fox a blessing, and then slowly retreated into the darkness of the cave.
