In a restaurant somewhere in Shattered Leaf City, Jiang Fan and Lu Wuye were sitting quietly at their respective tables.

Jiang Fan closed his eyes slightly, half-lying in front of the table, playing with a small and delicate white jade cup in his hand.

Lu Wuye sat across from him, looking down at the ancient book he was half-holding in his hand.

The two of them seemed to be unaware of each other's existence, each doing their own thing, and neither of them bothered with each other.

After a long time, the white jade cup that Jiang Fan was playing with suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Syllable!

The small and delicate white jade cup fell to the ground, and it shattered in an instant, as if a drop of water had exploded on the ground.

"It's been three days!"

Jiang Fan seemed to be talking to himself and as if he was telling Lu Wuye, who was sitting opposite him.

"What should I do? I didn't want to do that!"

Jiang Fan looked down at the white jade cup that fell to the ground and shattered, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Lu Wuye still didn't react at all, still looking down at the ancient book in his hand, without a trace of expression on his face.

However, if someone takes a closer look at it at this moment, they will find that Lu Wuye's hand holding the ancient book moved slightly.

"It's late at night, it's time to turn off the lights. ”

Jiang Fan suddenly raised his head and said something inexplicable to the window.

It was obviously early in the morning, but Jiang Fan said that it was late at night and it was time to turn off the lights.

Lu Wuye, who was sitting at the table, suddenly put away the ancient book in his hand after hearing Jiang Fan's words, and slowly stood up.

"What? are you going to see tonight's night?"

Seeing Lu Wuye suddenly stand up, Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

When Lu Wuye heard Jiang Fan's words, he casually put the ancient book in his hand into his waist and said indifferently: "Although the night is deep, the light may not go out." ”

After speaking, Lu Wuye pushed open the door and walked out.

Jiang Fan looked up at Lu Wuye's departing figure, and a faint trace of killing intent flashed in his narrow eyes.

If Lu Wuye hadn't been in the same place with him, then he would have killed Lu Wuye a long time ago.

is also an executioner, why pretend to be so high?

Do you think that if you carry an ancient book with you, others will look up to it?

They are all people who crawl out of the mud, and no one is cleaner than the other.

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

In the early morning of autumn, there is already a faint coolness in the air.

Most of the early risers on the streets are small traders and peddlers.

In order to make a living, these people tend to get up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs.

Almost every day, I get up early and run around late to survive.

"Boy Zhang, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Why don't you take care of her at home?"

Old Lady You, who got up early in the morning to set up a vegetable stall, looked at Zhang Xiaozi who passed by in front of her stall with a burden, and asked softly.

"Granny You is early, she called me up, and now she is sleeping at home!

Zhang Xiaozi's name is Zhang Qiao, and he is a cookcake seller, and his family has been doing this for generations, so he is also well-known in Broken Leaf City.

"You lazy, don't be in the midst of blessings, she is afraid that you will sleep too long and delay your business, so she woke you up so early, otherwise you would have woken up so early and called you up. ”

Granny You glanced at Zhang Qiao and scolded with a smile.

Granny You is already very old, and I am afraid that there is no one older than her on the whole street.

She has been setting up a vegetable stall here for many years, and it can be said that she has witnessed the growth of many people over the years.

Zhang Qiao is one of these people, so Granny You has always treated him as a junior, and often teaches him as an elder.

For this, Zhang Qiao naturally has no dissatisfaction.

Although Granny You is old, she is very respectable on this street, and even her father is very respectful to her.

It is rumored that Granny You is actually an official family, and the reason why she appeared here is just to live for her old age.

But whether this rumor is true or not, the people here always have a respect for the well-informed Granny You.

"The lesson of my mother-in-law is that the boy will never forget her goodness, and will definitely be good to her for the rest of his life. ”

When Zhang Qiao heard Granny You's words, he hurriedly smiled and nodded.

He has always been very concerned about his daughter-in-law.

After all, it is difficult for a person to find someone who understands him.

Bang!

Zhang Qiao, who had just turned his head to finish talking to Granny You, suddenly bumped into a person head-on.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry. ”

Zhang Qiao looked at the man in black who was hit by him, and apologized again and again.

The man in black didn't say anything when he heard Zhang Qiao's apology, but just smiled at Zhang Qiao.

Although the man in black was smiling at Zhang Qiao, Zhang Qiao didn't feel much warmth, he just felt a deep chill surging up his abdomen.

Zhang Qiao, who was a little puzzled, looked down, and when he saw his abdomen that had been pierced, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face became bloodless.

"You ......"

Zhang Qiao only said this lonely word, and then staggered to the ground.

Until death, Zhang Qiao's face was full of incomprehension.

He really couldn't figure out why this man was going to kill himself because he accidentally hit him.

At the moment when he completely lost consciousness, Zhang Qiao suddenly thought of his daughter-in-law who was still waiting for him at home.

Thinking of this, he suddenly squirmed with some struggle.

But the fatal blow of the man in black had already robbed him of all his life.

Therefore, Zhang Qiao only struggled for a while and completely lost his breath.

"Hey, what is Zhang Boy doing lying on the ground?"

Granny You, who had just laid out the dishes, looked up and saw Zhang Qiao lying alone on the ground.

Granny You, who was a little puzzled, stepped forward, and when she walked close to Zhang Qiao, she found that Zhang Qiao had already fallen in a pool of blood.

The bright red blood had already stained the ground, like a bright red carpet spread on the ground.

"Zhang boy!

Granny You looked at Zhang Qiao, who was lying in a pool of blood, and couldn't help but scream loudly twice.

When she saw that Zhang Qiao still didn't react, Granny You realized that Zhang Qiao was dead.

"Someone, someone! Someone's hurt here. ”

Granny You turned around and shouted loudly in the street.

Those who got up early to do business heard Granny You's shout, and they all stopped their movements and looked at this side in unison.

When they saw the bridge that had fallen to the ground, they immediately rushed over.

"Oh no, dead man!"

"What's it called? Don't you think about saving people. ”

"Where's Dr. Song? ”

A group of people gathered around Zhang Qiao's corpse, some screaming in panic, some helping to call doctors, and some standing there helplessly and in a hurry.

Granny You stood in the crowd, looking at Zhang Qiao's corpse, and her previously kind and kind face suddenly became a little cloudy.

It seems that this is the resurgence of turmoil, and she just wants to find a quiet place to recuperate.

But it's such a simple thing, but it's so hard to achieve.

"Old woman, I've already run to this little town, why can't I get rid of these things?"

Granny You looked at the dead Zhang Qiao and muttered to herself.

The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, it seems that some things cannot be avoided if you want to.

"Now that you're in it, I'm not welcome, old woman, and I'm going to kill people on my territory, no matter who you are, I'll definitely make you pay. ”

Granny You raised her head and scanned the crowd, and said secretly in her heart.
