After nearly an hour's walk, Zhou Xiaoba finally arrived at Lane 72 in the single city, at this moment the sky was completely dark, the blurry fog "soared" up, and Zhou Xiaoba vaguely saw many people coming.

These people were in groups of three or four, walking through the fog, seeing that there were people in front of them, they were all communicating in a whisper, Zhou Xiaoba frowned, according to the previous situation, the residents of Lane 72 were just dark, and they lit oil lamps from door to door, and it was dark today, and there were at least half of the people traveling, which made him feel that something was wrong for a while.

At this time, Zhou Xiaoba saw a familiar figure, pulled it over, and asked, "Aunt Niu, where are you going?"

The woman who was called Aunt Niu was a little shocked when she saw Zhou Xiaoba's face, "You are ...... Xiong", as soon as the word "Xiong" came out of her mouth, Aunt Niu's face was obviously flustered, and then she changed her words, "No, nothing." ”

Leaving the words in a hurry, Aunt Niu was pulled over by another woman, who ignored Zhou Xiaoba behind her, and said secretly, "Mother Niu, let's go! We can't mess with the affairs of the Xiong family!"

After that, a few people left, Zhou Xiaoba heard it clearly, I am afraid that the whole alley may not be able to find a second surname Xiong, he can't help but have a worried look on his face, seeing that the situation should be something wrong with Lao Xiong, thinking of this, he hurriedly asked the two men who walked in, "Two uncles, has anything unusual happened in the alley recently?"

Hearing the words, the two looked at him together, but after seeing his face clearly, the two hesitated slightly, neither of them spoke, there was a faint hatred in their eyes, and they directly shook their heads and turned to leave, leaving Zhou Xiaoba who was still in place.

Obviously, no matter who these people are, they have the meaning of alienating him, and Zhou Xiaoba doesn't plan to ask anything about these people, so he straightened his thoughts and ran along a small road.

About three quarters of an hour, the trail has come to an end, and finally a closed concierge is revealed, the wooden plaque above and the door are still side by side, but the door has been renewed, and the plaque has the appearance of falling at any time, the two are extremely mismatched, Zhou Xiaoba complained, and pushed towards the door.

It's just that the door was locked tightly, and he was stunned for a long time, before there were footsteps in the house, and a vigilant voice came after a long time, "Who?"

Familiar words, familiar people, but the difference is one word, listening to the hard tone of the person in the room, Zhou Xiaoba's heart was turbulent, and the tip of his nose was a little different.

According to the past, Xiong Zhao basically lived in the alley scolding, but this is also for Zhou Xiaoba, as for those alley people, whether they are widows or singles, Xiong Zhao has never looked down on anyone, but has a better attitude than Zhou Xiaoba.

But along the way, the alley people didn't say a word about Xiong Zhao's words, and their attitude was even more obviously spurned, and everyone was gone, even if Zhou Xiaoba did something that couldn't be put on the table, but that wasn't until now, when he heard Xiong Zhao's words at the root of his throat, he knew that something big must have happened during the time he left, all in all, Xiong Zhao must have suffered a lot of crimes.

Zhou Xiaoba was stunned for a long time, and two more sentences came from the room, undoubtedly the same as the previous question, three "who" in a row, but unfortunately there was no answer.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoba had completely fallen into deep thought, and he didn't care about the last two sentences at all, until the sound of departing footsteps came from the house, he reacted, and hurriedly said, "Old Xiong, open the door." ”

"You, you're ...... Coming back?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiong Zhao in the room was stunned, and the meaning of his words was extremely excited, but he was quickly suppressed, and his tone changed a little strangely.

Maybe Xiong Zhao still can't let go of the shelf next to Zhou Xiaoba, maybe this man doesn't want to show his fragile side, but Zhou Xiaoba has long been used to it, and Xiong Zhao, who pretends to be strong, is only in front of him.

An orange light rose in the room, Xiong Zhao opened the door, Zhou Xiaoba hugged him deeply, and walked in the door, Xiong Zhao was a little stunned by his actions, and he didn't react for a long time, just a slight hug, Xiong Zhao's heart turned upside down.

Even Zhou Xiaoba himself didn't know why he made this move, according to the past, Xiong Zhao fell like this, he should be sarcastic to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and now he feels weird.

The scene was deadlocked for a long time, and after Xiong Zhao returned to normal, he brought two jars of cellar wine and put them on the table, and the two did not speak, and each lifted the lid of the wine jar.

The fragrance of wine wafted up all over the time, and in the firewood pile outside, Xiao Hei was a little nervous, these days in a hurry, it couldn't even fill the gap in the stomach, smelled the fragrance, and the slender snake body has been slowly swaying back and forth, but it didn't crawl forward.

Since entering the alley, Zhou Xiaoba has instructed Xiao Hei not to scare people, so far Xiao Hei has been following in the dark all the way, obviously now that he is home, the owner has not let him in.

Xiao Hei didn't sneak in, but kept pouring the dry firewood sticks outside the door, and there was a "bang" sound all the time, for fear that the movement was not big enough, hearing the sound, Zhou Xiaoba remembered to forget something, and then stood up and threw the Biluo sword on his back to Xiong Zhao, with a smug face, "Appreciate it?"

After speaking, he hugged Xiao Hei in, then picked a jar of spirits and threw it in, this is not a palace, if you want to eat meat, you can't eat meat, but the wine is enough.

With a pop, half of Xiao Hei's body in the jar was excited, as if he was stimulated by something, his little head stood up straight, and after a long while, he drilled down again, and undoubtedly finally raised his head violently.

The eyes the size of a small black pea stared directly at Zhou Xiaoba, seeing the master gulping wine, as if he was not convinced, and then poked his head in.

It's just that it doesn't know what wine is, so it drank most of the liquor out of the jar, and then crawled out slowly, and before it could be proud, its body lay in the jar.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoba hurriedly pulled it out, and after soaking it for a while, it became a snake medicine wine, and then looked back at Xiong Zhao's stunned appearance, presumably this old guy had never seen such a long snake, he was proud in his heart, and explained, "This is a spirit snake, don't bite, how about it, old bear, I'm not doing well during this time?"

Xiong Zhao was suddenly asked by him, a little unsure of how to explain, thought for a while, looked at the slender sword in his hand, the entire scabbard was light blue, and then pulled out a sword body, glanced at it lightly, saw the edge, and his heart rose again, but it showed that it was extremely calm, and he said solemnly, "As far as I know, this sword should be a woman, I gave you, right?"

"That's right!" Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoba was very happy, if Xiong Zhao knew how beautiful that woman was, he would definitely be able to envy him to death. Xiong Zhao paused for a moment and continued, "That's right, no matter how you look at this sword, it's a child's thing, the book can say it, the swords are all secretly sharp, simple and precious, your sword is brightly colored, it's definitely not a treasure, maybe it's a lady who teased you." ”

"Come on, it's up to you, this is the sword of our Empress Jiang Kingdom, if she hears it, she won't punish your clan. ”
