Chapter 4 Take a gamble

"Today's harvest is good, this pheasant has some weight. ”

As soon as Li Chenfeng, who was carrying a pheasant, returned to his residence, he was shocked by the scene in front of him, and the small stool was lying on the straw mat covered in blood.

When the small table saw Li Chenfeng coming back, he cried: "Brother Feng, the small table is no good, I've been waiting for you to come back, come over quickly." ”

Li Chenfeng dropped his things and ran over, looking at the small stool full of blood and sticking to the dirt for a while, Li Chenfeng's throat was speechless as if it was stuffed, and his hands held the white fist of the small stool.

When it touched the little stool's clenched fist, the little stool tightened and then opened its eyes, and relaxed again after seeing that it was Li Chenfeng.

Li Chenfeng, who leaned over the small stool beside him, grinned, and said weakly: "Brother Gouzi, I really want to eat the food you cooked...... What are we going to eat tonight, the best thing you have eaten is the food you cooked, cough cough~ Can you give me more next time, I wanted to buy some fatty meat......" said and raised his arm, released his clenched fist, and a copper coin lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

Li Chenfeng took the copper coin, and before he could speak, the arm of the small stool hanging in the air hung down, Li Chenfeng looked at the small stool with his eyes closed, and scolded with a smile with red eyes: "You know how to eat, that time is not the most you eat, hurry up, I have to eat roast pheasant tonight." ”

"Hurry up... Hurry...", he couldn't stop crying as he spoke.

The little beggar on the side cried loudly when he saw that the little stool was gone, especially the small table, the two were of the same age, like biological brothers from childhood to adulthood, how could he accept the departure of the little stool for a while, the old beggar on the side didn't say anything, just leaned on the door frame and took a sip of wine, and then left with a sigh.

At night, everyone sat in front of the iron pot, looking at the pot of fragrant chicken, and lost their appetite, and the old beggar on the side ate with relish, and the angry small table was squeezing their eyebrows on the side, but they were all ignored.

Li Chenfeng was a little depressed, got up and left, came to the grave of the small stool, looked at the fresh soil, an inexplicable emotion made the tip of his nose sour, rubbed his nose and lay on the edge of the grave, looking at the starry sky, which was not seen in the sky full of haze before. I have been in this world for a while, from the beginning of not accepting it to now, I have been used to it, the little stool is my closest people, and the family is no different, but the little stool is gone forever, and I can't do anything, this world is completely different from the previous world, there is no law here, what is the difference between the life and death of these people and ants.

A smell of wine pulled Li Chenfeng back in his thoughts, looked up and saw the old beggar squatting aside, Li Chenfeng didn't squeeze anything today, reached out and took the old beggar's wine gourd and poured it hard, surprisingly the old beggar was not stingy, just calmly looked at the stars in the sky, and had a different temperament from usual.

Li Chenfeng threw the wine gourd back to the old beggar, glanced at him and said, "Is this the so-called Jianghu people?

The old beggar looking up at the starry sky also lay on the ground, picked up the gourd and poured a sip of wine and said: The rivers and lakes, the strong decide the rivers and lakes, and as a weak, it is worse than being a ghost. ”

Li Chenfeng glanced at the old beggar thoughtfully, got up and left.

In the inn in the town, the man with the knife on his back said to the folding fan: "Childe, the master asked us to come this time to catch the murderer, so that the son can have a chance to make a name in the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that there will be trouble during the day." ”

The fan boy didn't think so, but he still said patiently: "Uncle Zhang, this Qinghe Town is under the jurisdiction of our Xu family, and it's just a little beggar, even if he dies, what can he do." ”

Zhang Dao looked at Li Jian on the side helplessly, and after seeing that the other party had been closing his eyes to recuperate, he had to sigh helplessly and didn't say anything more.

Xu Danxing, the head of the Xu family, is a five-grade martial artist, the so-called three products and four products are masters, one product and two products are everywhere, when Xu Danxing got rid of a demon and settled in this Huihuang City, he also became a famous chivalrous warrior in the local area, Xu Danxing only got a son in middle age, so he named his son Xu Yi, because it is a single seedling, so it is particularly spoiled.

Xu Yi has been afraid of hardship since he was a child, so he is still a first-class martial artist, this time the news from Qinghe Town reminded Xu Danxing of some old things, it just so happened that he was already old, seeing that his son's strength was low, how to inherit such a big family business in the future, Xu Danxing thought of a plan, just took advantage of this case, sent two henchmen with Xu Yi to help Xu Yi catch the murderer, claiming that Xu Yi caught it, and it was good to make a reputation, step by step to play his son as a chivalrous warrior, and this family business will be handed over with peace of mind in the future。

On the second day, Li Chenfeng came to the town early, looking at Xu Yi who came out of the inn with a folding fan, staring like a prey, Xu Yi in the distance only felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help shaking his body, the two people next to Xu Yi also felt something, and their eyes swept towards Li Chenfeng, except for the emptiness, there was no one there, and the two of them sighed in surprise.

Li Chenfeng also wanted to avenge the little stool this morning, but after seeing Xu Yi and the three of them, he retreated, not to mention whether he could beat Xu Yi, just the two behind Xu Yi, Li Chenfeng had the same feeling as looking up at the mountain peak, and he had to find another way to take revenge, otherwise he would not only not be able to take revenge but also gave his life in vain.

After leaving, Li Chenfeng came to the temple where Zhang Yuanwai and others died, in addition to the blood stains on the ground, the bodies of Zhang Yuanwai and others had already been placed, Li Chenfeng searched along the temple to no avail, he was angry for a while, and kicked on the wooden pillar of the temple, Li Chenfeng, who was powerless for a while, lay on the ground in pain, covering his feet and inhaling cool air, frowning in pain Li Chenfeng was attracted by the hanging beam on the top of the temple.

Li Chenfeng stood up regardless of the pain, and it took a lot of effort to climb onto the narrow cantilever beam, as expected, there were really footprints on the dusty cantilever beam, Li Chenfeng reached out and picked up the dirt on the edge of the footprints, thinking about where it came from, Li Chenfeng, who had thought for a long time without a clue, slipped under his feet, fell off the cantilever beam, and his body lay on the ground in a large shape, Li Chenfeng, who was rubbing the dirt between his fingers, put his fingers next to his nose and sniffed, and then seemed to understand something, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.

At twilight, the afterglow of the setting sun made the surrounding mountains even more colorful, Li Chenfeng looked at the mountains not far away, quickened his pace, and after a lot of effort, a field of wild lotus flowers that was close to withering appeared in front of him.

After pinching some soil with his fingers and smelling it, Li Chenfeng determined that the soil on the cantilever beam came from here, at the beginning in the temple Li Chenfeng was puzzled by these black soils, in Qinghe Town, I didn't hear where there was black soil, after rubbing these dirt with his fingers, the particles were obviously more delicate, and there was a trace of fishy smell and lotus root smell in the nose, just in the previous memory, there was really such a place, it was this wild lotus field, because of the remote location, so few people knew here, and the previous self also came here by chance, it was summer, so there was a lot of water here at that time, because the previous dog was afraid of water, I didn't wander around here too much, until today I think back to it.

Li Chenfeng saw that he had found the right place, so he stepped on the silt and walked deeper, as Li Chenfeng went deeper, the silt that was still a little soft began to become solid, and the sky slowly darkened, when Li Chenfeng completely walked out of the lotus land, he stopped, in front of him was a stone wall, there was a hole in the cliff of the stone wall, Li Chenfeng climbed up with the raised stones, Li Chenfeng who climbed to the entrance of the cave lay on the ground panting, tilted his head and looked at the dark hole, his eyes were a little hesitant, after resting for a while, Li Chenfeng took a big breath and then spit it out again, got up and walked towards the depths。

The space in the cave is not narrow, Li Chenfeng's current height of one meter seven can still leave a lot of space in it, Li Chenfeng can only grope his way forward in the swarthy cave, after slowly traveling for a distance, there is a trace of light in front of him, Li Chenfeng unconsciously sped up his pace, and after completely stepping out of the darkness, a tunnel full of torches appeared in Li Chenfeng's eyes. Through the bright firelight, he could see many traces of artificial excavation on the wall, which made Li Chenfeng surprised how many talents had mined the tunnel!

After walking along the torch for a while, a burst of water sounded, Li Chenfeng also came to a wide space, the scene in front of him surprised Li Chenfeng, the whole space can be seen above the sky full of stars, the stream flows down along the stone wall, forming a Wang pool of water below, according to the flow direction of the pool water should all flow into the underground river. There is a wooden bridge above the pond, Li Chenfeng stepped across the wooden bridge, and an independent space was presented in front of him. It's better to say that it's a space than a room, the usual furniture is fully used, and in the middle, Li Chenfeng can see the iron pot that is still burning.
