The rain was falling, and the changing climate in the mountains made the sky already slanting and drizzling in the evening.

Every now and then it rains like this drizzle is still worth a little celebration for people living in the mountains, when the harvest is not good, those mushrooms after the rain can not only fill their stomachs, but also take out some money.

But these are no longer important to Xue Xiucai, maybe he would be excited for the sake of hunger and exchange for money when he was a thief before, but he was going to set off to catch the exam the day after tomorrow, Tian Ruoqing gave him some silver taels during the day, plus a little savings in his usual life, it was enough to save some money along the way, so at this time he was preparing for the upcoming exam under the candlelight, regardless of the wind and rain outside the window.

"Knock knock, knock knock. His finger tapped on the wooden door of the courtyard, and there was a knock that was not hurried.

"Here we go!" Putting the book on the table, he held up an old oil-paper umbrella, came to the courtyard gate, pulled out the bolt and opened the courtyard door.

I saw a young man standing outside the courtyard, and his clothes had already been soaked by the rain.

"Brother Guiqing! Come in. ”

He Guiqing had actually left in the evening, and since the letter had already been handed over to Tian Ruoqing, there was no need to wait, after all, the red yarn test of the sect was almost here, and the purpose of this downhill experience had been achieved early this morning, He Guiqing felt that it was better to go back and prepare earlier. However, the weather is not beautiful, the climate in the mountains is changeable, it rains when it reaches the mountainside, the sky is dark, the road is getting muddy, and you can only return along the same road.

"Come, drink some hot water. Don't blame me for my brother's nagging, I won't let you go in the evening, but Brother Guiqing insists on leaving, I will change the wet clothes for a while, I will bake for you, in case of a cold, it will not be good"

"Thank you, Brother Xue. He Guiqing held a bowl of hot water and said gratefully.

"Brother Guiqing is polite to me. Xue Xiucai turned around and went to the outhouse to pick up some dry firewood, but the air was humid and the storage time was long, so he didn't pick out a few for a while.

The sound of a "pop" bowl breaking came from inside the house.

"You have to pay for the broken bowl, I don't have many good bowls. Xue Xiucai said while carrying dry firewood. But no answer came from inside the house.

"Brother Guiqing, you can't really get sick and catch a cold, right? Xue Xiucai walked into the house worriedly.

In an uproar, the dry firewood in his arms was scattered all over the place, and Xue Xiucai looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

"Tian... The owner of the farm?"

At this moment, the owner of Tianjiazhuang was standing in the house, pinching He Guiqing's neck with one hand and lifting him in the air, with an indifferent expression. On the other hand, He Guiqing, his face was purple and blue, his legs were in the air, and his hands tried hard to break the big hand that was clenched on his neck, but the other party's tiger mouth was like an iron tong, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't move at all.

Suffocated and frightened, He Guiqing didn't want to break this big hand anymore, but grabbed it in the air, wanting to grab the air around him and pour it into his lungs.

Consciousness had begun to drift, saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes began to roll slightly upward.

"What are you doing, Master of the Grange? This is my friend. Xue Xiucai ran to the owner of the farm, wanting to save He Guiqing, but before he could get close, the owner of the farmland raised a kick at will and kicked Xue Xiucai away.

Boom! Xue Xiucai, who flew up, fell heavily to the ground.

"Are you going to die?" He Guiqing, who didn't have the slightest strength, thought desperately in his heart.

The owner of the farm glanced at Xue Xiucai with disdain, and then said to He Guiqing: "Boy, if you want to blame it, you will blame your own bad life. ”

"Daddy, what are you doing here?" a woman's exclamation came from the door.

"Ruoqing?" Hearing the sound, the surprised farmer quickly put down He Guiqing, and quickly closed his hand behind him, as if everything was not done by himself.

"Ahem. Vomit.. Ahem, cough, cough. He Guiqing, who was lying on the ground, finally felt the presence of air, and desperately wanted to suck it into his lungs, but every time he took a breath, he would keep coughing and retching, but fortunately, there would always be a trace of air flowing into his lungs.

"Brother Xue, are you okay!" Tian Ruoqing picked up Xue Xiucai, who was lying on the ground and moaning in pain. Then he anxiously shouted to the owner of the farm: "Dad, what's going on?"

The owner of the farm looked at a loss: "Ruoqing, I 。。。。。 Staring at Tian Ruoqing for a moment, thinking twice, he finally sighed.

"Well, that's it, I'm going to leave after tonight. Then he said to He Guiqing: "Boy, in Shimoda Jikun, seeing that you have only just arrived in the martial arts realm, you can barely be regarded as a martial artist, and it is estimated that you will not have heard of it." Let me know today that the letter you sent is especially important to me, and anyone who knows about it will not be able to live. Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Xue Xiucai, "Including you, by the way, your parents, I killed them, I can only blame them for their bad luck back then, and they all accidentally heard something they shouldn't have heard." You two aren't going to be fools. ”

Tian Ruoqing and Xue Xiucai's faces were full of incredulity. Surprised, shocked, and angry, these expressions kept changing on Xue Xiucai's face with Tian Jikun's words.

"Daddy... Dad, you tell me it's not true, you're joking, aren't you?" Two lines of tears slipped out of Tian Ruoqing's eyes.

"Ruoqing, you and your father will leave after tonight. I'll talk to you about the rest of the matter. ”

"Bastard!" Xue Xiucai roared angrily, got up and pounced on Tian Jikun, Tian Jikun's figure was slightly on one side, Xue Xiucai pounced in the air, and slapped Xue Xiucai on the back with a palm.

"Poof!" blood spurted out of Xue Xiucai's mouth.

"Brother Xue!" Tian Ruoqing saw this scene and quickly crawled towards Xue Xiucai.

Tian Jikun also ignored Xue Xiucai, whose life and death were unknown, and turned to He Guiqing to prepare for him to finish.

"Yo he, it's lively enough~"
