After knowing that his parents died, Ming Shuhui had been in this house for three days, in addition to someone coming to deliver food on time every day, grandpa Minglang would also come to see him in the afternoon.

This room is not big, and the decoration in the house is very simple and simple, but there are all kinds of daily necessities, which is very suitable for the taste of Ming Shuhui.

Grandpa settled Ming Shuhui in this room, the windows and doors here are all made of pure metal, and it is difficult to destroy them by external forces, more precisely, Ming Shuhui should be locked up here. Ming Shuhui knew that his grandfather was afraid that he would be in danger of going out, so he simply went with the situation and stayed.

During these days, Ming Shuhui felt very uncomfortable. I just returned to the Saibu altar some time ago, and for the first time I saw my grandfather, who was often mentioned by my parents, I was supposed to enjoy the happiness of being together as a family, but I didn't expect that this happiness only lasted for a few days, and my parents, who got along amiably day and night, died inexplicably in the line of duty.

Ming Shuhui was immersed in grief all day long, recalling the scene when her father taught her to practice, her mother played with her, and the family was happy together, Ming Shuhui could only cry silently.

It's not that Ming Shuhui can't escape, but he doesn't want to go out anymore, he is afraid of seeing strangers, he thinks of his relatives being separated from life and death forever, he is tired, and he has no appetite every day, and he just thinks about the good times with his parents.

"Shuhui...... Don't worry, your master has already gone to investigate, even if we use all the power of the Western Martial Altar, we will find out the murderer!" Grandpa would say this to Ming Shuhui every time he came, but this would not relieve the pain in Ming Shuhui's heart at all.

Probably less than a month, suddenly one day, the person who had been delivering the food since the morning did not come, and in the afternoon, the grandfather did not come.

Ming Shuhui waited until the evening, and there was still no one to see him, although Ming Shuhui was not very hungry, but he wondered in his heart, normally this would not happen.

The night passed, this night was very quiet, surprisingly quiet, Ming Shuhui could even hear his heartbeat clearly in this quiet night, which was very painful for him.

Early the next morning, Ming Shuhui didn't wait for dawn, he got up and packed up, and he was ready to go out.

Ming Shuhui took apart the table in the corner of the room and found the two thinnest nails along the legs, he had been paying attention to these nails for a long time, and he had already thought about its purpose. The nails were long and soft, and he easily pulled them off.

Ming Shuhui put the two nails together, inserted in the door lock of the house, although the doors and windows are strong, but the lock is very ordinary, after several temptations, Ming Shuhui quickly poked the lock open, which is also what his parents took him to learn in the perennial adventure of the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to use it on his own door lock today.

Ming Shuhui pushed the door out, the sun was warm, but the things in front of him were very unfamiliar, he didn't remember how his grandfather brought him here, because he had just learned that his parents had died, and his mind was in chaos, and he was lying on the bed in this room in a daze.

Ming Shuhui wandered the streets like a walking corpse, and he wanted to concentrate on remembering how the Xiwu Altar should go, but he was in a trance from time to time.

Although the "Liberation Dragon Society" is not too far, Ming Shuhui wandered for a long time to find it, and it was already evening. Ming Shuhui came to the main entrance and noticed that there was something strange here, the martial arts hall should be crowded at this time, but now it is empty.

Ming Shuhui will walk into the martial arts hall, there is no one inside, he hurriedly entered the martial arts arena through the small door, and found nothing, Ming Shuhui turned from strange at the beginning, to worry and fear, he faintly felt that something had happened in the Xiwu Altar, and it was a big deal!

Just as Ming Shuhui walked out of the "Dragon Liberation Society" and was about to go to another place to check, an extra sword suddenly appeared from behind and put it on his neck.

"Don't move!" said the man behind the sword, coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I ......" Ming Shuhui was taken aback, but then calmed down and asked rhetorically, "I'm from this martial arts hall, why can't I come here?"

The man who made the sword still put the sword on Ming Shuhui's neck, and he slowly moved to the side and looked at Ming Shuhui's face.

"Shuhui!" the man hurriedly put away his sword and exclaimed excitedly, "Great, you're fine!"

Ming Shuhui turned his head, this person was a young man, with dark skin, simple appearance, and a strong figure, and he was very excited to pull his arm, it was the second senior brother Wan Shulou in the junior of the Xiwu Altar.

"Senior Brother Wan!" Ming Shuhui met an acquaintance by chance, and suddenly had a little reliance in his heart, "Hello!"

Wan Shulou pulled Ming Shuhui, looked carefully back and forth, laughed happily, laughed and laughed, Wan Shulou suddenly squatted on the ground and cried, and the more he cried, the more painful he became, and the more he cried, the more sad he became.

"Senior Brother Wan, what's wrong with you?" Ming Shuhui stepped forward to help Wan Shulou, "Why are the people in the martial arts world gone? Is there an accident?"

Wan Shulou cried hysterically, and nodded slowly while crying, Ming Shuhui realized that something was wrong.

"Xiwu Altar ......" Wan Shulou cried for a while before he stopped and said in a choked voice, "Xiwu Altar...... was robbed, and the door was almost destroyed, except for the disappearance of the altar master and a few junior brothers, the rest of the people suffered mishaps......"

When Ming Shuhui heard the news, he suddenly had a "boom" in his head, feeling that the world was spinning, he was unstable on his feet, and he could fall down at any time, he hurriedly held the door frame with his right hand, and pulled Wanshulou with his left hand, barely supporting it, and in a few days, relatives and friends were killed one after another, which was a devastating blow to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

Seeing this, Wan Shulou regretted telling him the news in such a hurry, originally Ming Shuhui's parents had just died, and now that his grandfather was missing again, he was afraid that Ming Shuhui would not be able to bear such grief.

Wan Shulou comforted and persuaded Ming Shuhui, but Ming Shuhui couldn't listen to it, just stood in place, his mind was empty, as if his soul had been drained.

"I'm fine......" After a while, Ming Shuhui rubbed her face vigorously with her hand before finally speaking, "What was it like at that time?

"I ...... I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I might not be alive......" Wan Shulou sighed and said, "The gang leader originally sent me to follow the Cao gang leader of the Dachuan Gang out on a mission, but because I forgot something in the martial arts, I came back to pick it up last night, and I happened to meet my master Yang Zhongping......"

"My uncle didn't have an accident?" asked Ming Shuhui.

"Luckily, there is no ......," Wan Shulou replied.

"Then my aunt ......," Ming Shuhui asked again.

Wan Shulou slowly lowered his head, Ming Shuhui was silent, he recalled that since he returned to Xiwu Altar, although the days were not long, but his aunt Ming Xiaoqing took the most care of him, and also made him feel the warmest, just now Wan Shulou said that something happened in Xiwutan, Ming Shuhui probably guessed that his aunt had been killed, but he confirmed the news with his own ears, and his heart couldn't help but be full of grief.

"You go on...... Ming Shuhui waited for a while before continuing to ask, "Was my uncle there at the time?"

"Master wasn't there either. Wan Shulou also continued, "He just went out all morning, and when he came back, something happened to the Xiwu Altar, so he didn't know who the murderer was, he only saw the scene afterwards, this murderer's martial arts are extremely strong, and his means are domineering, which is beyond our imagination." ”

Ming Shuhui nodded, if the murderer was not strong in martial arts, with the masters of the Western Martial Arts Arena, how could he wash the martial arts altar in one morning.

"When I came back last night, Master found someone to deal with the scene. Wan Shulou continued, "Master seems to be calm, but I know that he must be in great pain. ”

"Yes...... "My parents always say that my uncle is resolute and resolute on the outside, but he is actually very delicate on the inside, and my aunt is ...... away."

Ming Shuhui thought of these relatives around her, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, and she couldn't go on.

"Is this related to the death of my parents?" asked Ming Shuhui after a pause.

"I don't know about this, and I have a lot of questions in my mind. Wan Shulou shook his head and said, "The top priority now is to find the altar master and the other missing people from the Seibu Altar. ”

"Where is my uncle now?" asked Ming Shuhui again.

"It's a long story......," Wan Shulou hesitated, but after thinking about it, he briefly said that Minglang was looking for someone to go to Dongwu Altar instead of Ming Shuhui.

After hearing this, Ming Shuhui was very surprised that his grandfather would do such a thing, a generation of grandmasters with a superb status in the lower martial arts, would actually do this kind of trick of dropping bags, and erase the memories of others, so that the entire martial arts world could deceive this young man together.

Ming Shuhui was surprised at the same time, but also very angry and guilty, her parents told her since she was a child that she couldn't do anything to be sorry for others, but this time, Ming Shuhui owed this nameless boy too much.

"Where did you find this person?" asked Ming Shuhui.

"One day, the altar owner brought two beggars, one big and one small, and the big beggar we entertained well, and gave some money to send away, and the little beggar stayed, it was he who ......" Wan Shulou also felt that this thing was not done properly, so his voice became smaller and smaller.

"How can this be reasonable!" Ming Shuhui was a little annoyed, "Dongwu Altar is not Longtan Tiger's Den, why can't I go? I have to find a beggar to pretend to be me!"

"Now that the matter has come to this......," Wan Shulou persuaded, "it doesn't help to say this, it's better to find someone." ”

Ming Shuhui also felt that the most important task now should be to find the grandfather and the survivors of the martial arts first, and then discuss other things in the long run.

"Uncle escorted that person to Tobu Altar?"

"Yes, it should have left early this morning. ”

"Okay, they can go to the Tobu Altar to ask for help, and when this matter is clarified, I will go to the Tobu Altar to exchange him back. ”

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's go our separate ways, I'll go east to see if I can catch up with my uncle, if I catch up with him, I'll go directly to the Tobu Altar, and I don't need anyone else to replace me." Ming Shuhui continued, "You go to contact the eight major gangs, the more people we have, the more efficient we are." ”

The two of them had made up their minds, so they acted separately.

Ming Shuhui traveled eastward, and after walking for a few hours, he suddenly realized a very serious problem - he didn't have a penny on him!

As the saying goes, "a penny is hard to beat a hero", not only can he not take the bus, but even eating is a problem, and his current embarrassment is really difficult to move an inch.

He can only stop and go, where is the best free meal, but most of the time is to pick up leftover food, in the past, he followed his parents to the rivers and lakes, never worried about eating and drinking, but he didn't expect that now, money has become the biggest problem.

At noon that day, Ming Shuhui wandered the streets, and a wave of fatigue and hunger came to him, and he was so tired that he could only sit on the corner of the street to rest.

"Little brother. A person walked over and accosted, "Alone?"

Ming Shuhui looked up lazily, the person who came was dressed in overalls, tattered and sloppy, although his face was clean, but his skin was rough and dark, he smiled when he spoke, and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth when he smiled, which made people feel ugly when they looked at it.

Ming Shuhui really didn't have the energy to talk to him, so she only nodded slightly.

"Little brother, are you hungry?" Yellowfang continued to talk.

Ming Shuhui didn't answer anymore, just leaned against the wall to rest.

"Is there a job you can do, can you make money!" Huang Ya saw that Ming Shuhui did not answer, and continued to ask persistently.

Ming Shuhui half-opened his eyes, glanced at Huang Fang, and thought: If you don't do anything, you will definitely starve to death if you don't have money in your pocket, so it's better to listen to what kind of work it is.

"You ......," Ming Shuhui said weakly.

"Look at you're hungry. Huang Fang reached out and picked up Ming Shuhui, and said with a smile, "Let's eat our stomachs first." ”

Huang Ya said, taking Ming Shuhui to a nearby noodle restaurant and asking for a bowl of beef ramen and a side dish, Ming Shuhui gobbled up the noodles. After eating three bowls of noodles in a row, Ming Shuhui finally patted her stomach and ate her fill.

Huang Ya said that he would take Ming Shuhui to meet someone, and then discuss the work.

They came to a nearby alley together, there was a mahjong parlor with no sign in the depths of the alley, Huangya walked in alone, and after a while brought out a person, this person also looked dirty and sloppy, the cheekbones, eyebrow bones, and upper and lower jaws were very high, but the nose was very low, there was a very obvious scar on the bridge of the nose, and the whole face seemed to collapse to the middle, which looked very strange.

Yellow Fang dragged the short nose, the low nose had a cigarette in his mouth, and a wad of change in his hand, and walked out of the mahjong parlor very impatiently.

"Fourth brother, it's him. Yellow Fang pointed at Ming Shuhui and said to the short nose.

The short-nosed fourth brother looked Ming Shuhui up and down and pursed his lips.

"It's still a child, skinny like a monkey, no, no. The fourth brother waved his hand again and again and said.

"Don't you look at him pitiful? Look at this child, how difficult it is to be alone. Yellow Fang persuaded.

"How old are you?" asked the fourth brother.

"Fifteen years old. Ming Shuhui replied truthfully

"What about your family?" the fourth brother asked again.

"It's all dead...... Ming Shuhui still answered truthfully.

"No, no...... Where are you going...... "The fourth brother insisted.

Seeing that the fourth brother still refused, Huang Ya pulled the fourth brother to avoid Ming Shuhui and walked to the corner. Ming Shuhui was already full of food and drink at this time, and his physical strength was abundant, he was concentrating on his luck, although the two of them spoke very softly, they could also be heard clearly.

"What's the matter with you? What a good chicken, you can just put it away?" said Huangfang in a low voice.

"What's the matter with you? How old are you, how old can you do it? In the future, the Daoist will find out, what do you think of us?" the fourth brother retorted.

"I don't care what other people think, I know money!" said Yellowtooth disdainfully.

The two continued to argue for a while, and Ming Shuhui probably understood that the two of them were not well-intentioned and must have wanted to use themselves to make a profit.

After arguing for a while, the two men returned.

"What's your name, kid?" asked Yellowfang.

"My name is Ming Shuhui. There are very few people in the rivers and lakes who know themselves, so Ming Shuhui didn't hide it, and directly told them his real name.

"My name is Yao Yu, you call me Brother Yu, this is Sun Ming, the fourth in the family, everyone calls him the fourth brother. Yellow Fang introduced.

Ming Shuhui nodded and greeted the two.

"We originally wanted to go to Province H, where there is a construction site to recruit workers, and we can get more than 10,000 yuan a month, and it was originally scheduled that three people would go together, and one person would not go temporarily, and now there is one less, do you want to go together?" Brother Yu still asked with a smile.

Ming Shuhui thought to herself: I want to go east, H Province is just in the east, and there are these two people along the way, so I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, why not.

"Okay, Brother Yu, such a good thing, I can be considered a bargain today!" Ming Shuhui pretended to be stupid and agreed.

"That construction site doesn't recruit people from unknown sources, especially if you are so young, so when people ask you who you are in the future, you will answer that you are the fourth brother's own brother, your name is Sun Liang, ask you how old you are, you will say that you are eighteen, remember?" Brother Yu instructed.

Ming Shuhui nodded desperately, and when the two saw him so stupid, they didn't pay much attention to it, so they took Ming Shuhui on the road together.

Along the way, Ming Shuhui really didn't worry about food and accommodation, although the arrangement between the two was not particularly good, but compared to the situation of being hungry a few days ago, it was much better, which made Ming Shuhui very satisfied with his decision.

Ming Shuhui has been pretending to be stupid, and the vigilance of the two has gradually disappeared, Ming Shuhui still has time to move freely every day, and can go around to find out about Yang Zhongping and Xiwutan, but still found nothing.

During the period of traveling east, Ming Shuhui intentionally or unintentionally heard the research plan of the two people, it turned out that they were really going to find a construction site to work, and then work on the construction site for a while, and then find an opportunity to kill Ming Shuhui, disguise the body as a construction site and suddenly encountered an accident, the general engineering contractor did not want to get into trouble, and was unwilling to let the police intervene, and the deceased's "brother" was still there, so he could give money privately, so that the two would be able to make a lot of money.

Ming Shuhui was secretly surprised when she heard this, she didn't know how many people had died under these two people, and they dared to blatantly search for targets on the street.

Knowing the other party's plan, but the other party didn't know him at all, Ming Shuhui followed these two people with more peace of mind.

After a few more days, the three entered the territory of Province H.

On the evening of this day, the three of them had eaten, bought daily necessities at the supermarket, and were about to go back to the hotel to rest, and they could reach the construction site after walking for another day.

On the way back, the three of them turned an alley, the alley was very narrow, and when they were about to walk out, there was a person blocked in the alley.

"I've finally found you two......" said the man with his hands on his chest and a grin.
