"Zhou Xiaoba, you dare!"

Countless alleys cross and follow, and there are stalls and shelves in front of the doors of each family in the alley, except for a few snow surfaces that have formed ice slag, they are all empty, obviously last night the blizzard washed all the doors and shops in Lane 72 in the single city.

With a cold wind, it rushed towards Lane 72, and finally arrived at a brewery.

The door was half-open, the cold wind blew and creaked, the half-open door was weathered all year round, corroded badly, and seemed to be very heavy, under the pressure of a large cold wind, finally the door was overwhelmed and hit the wall at once, and there was a feeling of wood breaking.

Suddenly, the light of the dawn outside the room was like honey splashing water, and the orange and yellow were scattered in the room with great dignity, which made the dim room have more light.

"Look, the doors are broken, and the people have been around for a long time, can't you make my old man feel at ease for a while?"

The three people in the room, namely the two who were commensurate with the master and servant on the snowy mountain yesterday, and a middle-aged man with a thick beard, seemed to be full of thick questioning voices in the room, and the atmosphere was a little urgent.

The middle-aged man is not only stout but also has a powerful voice, although his clothes are ragged, but he has several layers inside and out, enough to keep warm in winter, he must have been in the army when he was young, a rough man, not at all like a business mold, and the reality is true, it is difficult to imagine.

The person who was called the name was naturally the poor young master in the snowdrift yesterday, and behind him, stood Shanshan, who was thickly wrapped in cotton clothes, and her little face didn't know if it was caused by the cold or nervousness last night, a little red, her eyebrows were lowered, she was pinching her little dirty hands, she didn't dare to gasp, and her demeanor was like that of her little daughter being scolded, for fear of disturbing the two masters and discovering her existence.

............

"Hey, I said Lao Xiong, the wine in the capital is delicious, a glass is absolutely poured, I know that you love to drink the most, or I will buy wine every day in the capital and find someone to send it back to you, how about it, how about it?"

I don't know how long the two stalemate, and finally Zhou Xiaoba smiled bitterly and held the leftover thin wine in his hand, shook it a few times in front of the old bear's eyes, looking very serious, and finally raised his eyebrows and poured it into his mouth.

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man was not more angry with his behavior, but leaked a look that he had long been accustomed to, and seeing his funny and naughty appearance reminded him of a certain past event in his mind, but dissipated a little anger.

However, he still did not agree with him, but snatched the jar of wine from his arms and drank it in one gulp.

Half a jar of thin wine in his stomach made his face a little ruddy, but he still didn't mean to get drunk.

"Hehe, the old bear is really a good amount of alcohol. ”

Zhou Xiaobahan smiled and picked up a jar full of wildflower wine behind him and handed it over, "Old Xiong, I'm in a good mood today, the two of us don't want to get drunk." ”

Zhou Xiaoba is always mischievous on weekdays, turning bricks and prying tiles, peeking at women taking a bath and changing clothes, but he was caught not once or twice, and his reputation has long been spread in Lane 72.

Even Shanshan looked at him smiling, and felt sorry for Xiong Zhao, although his heart was extremely weak, but on the surface, he posed, his mouth was closed, and he didn't see it.

"Zhou Xiaoba, with your ghost ideas, I can't guess it, let's say, how good is this thing. ”

"That, old bear, I still say the same thing, I will definitely go to the capital, even if I don't take the army's horse convoy, I still have to go. ”

Zhou Xiaoba was afraid of angering Xiong Zhao again, so he had to tone softly, with a smile on his face, and he also regretted it in his heart, if he secretly left a letter, he would have slipped out a long time ago.

Last night, a group of military uniformed horse convoys came from outside the single city gate, and the clothes and armor should be Jiang Guo's troops withdrawn from the border, which is said to be escorting a nobleman, and some people say that it is a troop that went home to visit relatives after a truce, these convoys were stationed a few miles away from the city gate yesterday evening, saying that they are very low-key, but it is better to avoid suspicion.

In any case, Zhou Xiaoba will not give up this golden opportunity, whether it is to send each other or visit relatives, this army will definitely return to the capital to resume his life.

I heard some old people in the alley say that there are traders who specialize in providing cultivation items in the capital, and there are even big factions in the cultivation world, and he will definitely find a way to practice when he goes to the capital, avenge his parents, find out the cause of the murder, and protect Shanshan from being wronged and get ahead!

Thinking of this, it is even more important to go!

Since Zhou Xiaoba can remember, it was the night of the murder, the sky was full of blood, and the entire village was slaughtered by bandit-like people, he was only two years old at the time, and he got into the kennel, or his own larger Shiba Dog died for him.

To this day, he still remembers Shiba Inu's warm, cold body as if it was right in front of him.

Eventually, a group of caravans passed by and found children under Shiba Dog's armpits, breathing unstoppable.

By chance, he was adopted by Xiong Zhao, the leader of the caravan with no children and no daughters, and since then, Xiong Zhao has not been in business, but has taken the caravan to Lane 72 and raised Zhou Xiaoba, and the people of the caravan are also accustomed to the life of Lane 72, and they have settled in this alley, ending the life of wandering merchants day and night.

Because he was still young at the time, Zhou Xiaoba was so frightened that he often had nightmares, and the memories in his mind were often fragmented, if it weren't for the family tree left under the fire, I am afraid that he would really have the surname "Xiong".

Everyone rarely mentions this matter, even if Zhou Xiaoba often asks, they feel that they are all making up some nonsense to pass themselves, so they will give up.

Later, when Zhou Xiaoba was eight years old, he went up to Cangshan to play, frolicked and naughty, forgot to return home, and it snowed heavily at night, and when he hurriedly returned, he met Shanshan, who was still crying in swaddling clothes.

......

Shan Cheng is a small city, there are only seventy-two lanes inside, in a remote area, few outsiders enter, let alone go out from the inside, it is even more difficult to get to the capital, from the book to see that the single city is more than 180 miles away from the capital.

Fifteen years have passed, and he has not had a chance, and now even if he is in the nest of the military camp, he has to go out, but now Xiong Zhao is in difficulty.

"Boy, even if you have the guts, remember to keep to yourself when you get to the capital, don't be naughty, and remember to write me a letter when the time comes, and come back to me obediently to support my old age, hey, I can only go with you now......"

Xiong Zhao, who has been immersed for a long time, has a slightly sour voice, although Zhou Xiaoba and Shanshan are not biological flesh and blood, but family affection can still cross any factor, not to mention that Xiong Zhao has never married a wife and had children......

At this moment, Xiong Zhao's words fell, but they were diametrically opposed to his thoughts, not only was he not much excited, but he was a little depressed, but he also knew that he must not be nostalgic for this place in this life, for a better life, for the truth, for revenge, for Shanshan, for himself, for Xiong Zhao, who was close to him, for everyone in the village!

He was carrying too much on his back to escape.

Reluctant not to think about something sad, the three of them chattered for a while about ordinary and ordinary homely words, which made Xiong Zhao feel a little better in his heart, and he didn't continue to roll.

After a long time, Zhou Xiaoba and Shanshan packed their bags, hugged Xiong Zhao deeply, said goodbye to the door, and saw the broken wooden door, "Old Xiong, do you remember to repair the door, if you don't, remember to find the second uncle, otherwise you will freeze to death in the middle of the night, but you don't need me to support the elderly." ”

Parting is always sad, Zhou Xiaoba could only hold back the tearful parting words, and glanced at the freshly washed Shanshan, "Let's go! Shanshan, the young master will take you to the capital to play." ”

The cold wind is still cold, although Shanshan is only nine years old, but she knows more than other people's children, knowing that this time they will not be able to come back for a long time, as soon as they think of the kang they slept with the young master, they can no longer hold back the sense of nostalgia, and tears have been rolling.

When the two crossed the threshold, they seemed to turn their heads and shouted in unison, "Dad, goodbye!"

This dad can be called, Xiong Zhao was stunned, even if he is so strong on weekdays, he can't help this sentence at this time, his eyes are uproaring, and he washes his face.

"Old bear, don't cry too badly!"

Leaving the last sentence, Zhou Xiaoba had no scruples, and ran away with Shanshan, as if he didn't want to cause more tears, and he didn't turn his head back until he disappeared from Xiong Zhao's sight.
