The winter solstice is snowy, and the mountains are white. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoYuling Pass more than ten miles away, a mountain called "Luoyanling" on the south slope, there is a mound, there is a long cemetery road in front of the mound, on both sides are pine and cypress, lush, look very solemn.

The cemetery road is close to the ancient post road in the mountains, and the ancient post road is also covered with ice and snow, and there are several deep rut marks.

Two carriages came up on the post road, huh, a shout, two carriages stopped at the fork in the road connecting the post road and the cemetery Yongdao, and three young people jumped out of the car, they were Liu Sange, Nan Bu and Xiao Lizi.

Under the cypress tree of Yongdao, a huge stone tablet is erected, the spine of the stone tablet is covered with ice and snow, and the inscription on the tablet reads: The rebuilding of the tomb of Liu Gongren Kuan, the secretary of the ministry. Liu Sange and the other three stood in front of the stele to read the inscription, for Liu Sange, every time he went to the grave of his parents to worship, he had to study and read it several times, trying to find the clues of the murderer of the whole family from the inscription, but unfortunately, every time, he looked at Wen Xing and sighed, and found nothing. The whole inscription is complete, and he can recite it like a stream, carefully considering the words, but there is no trace of the enemy. The full text is as follows:

On a certain day of a certain year, Liu Gongrenkuan, the secretary of the ministry, resigned due to illness, left Beijing and returned to his hometown, with a total of 12 family servants, when he arrived at the ancient post road under the Yanling Ridge in the south of Yuling Pass, he was suddenly ambushed by seven killers. Most of the Liu Gong's family are women and children, three loyal servants, quite brave, struggling to resist, how can the killer martial arts be strong, cut down the loyal servants, slaughter women and children, blood stained withered grass, life is barren gang, next to the ancient post road, screaming for a long time, it is like a slaughterhouse. At this time, the white horse warrior passed through here, the road was uneven, drew a knife to help, because he was outnumbered, the strong man waited for the opportunity to save Liu Gong's infant son, flew on the horse, broke through and fled, seven killers, in hot pursuit, there were good archers in the inside, shot three arrows in a row, the white horse was hit by an arrow, neighed and died, the strong man fell from the horse, still from the bloody battle, nine knives in the body, unfortunately died. Seven killings searched for Liu Gong's infant son, wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no trouble, but the world evaporated, disappeared, so he was unwilling, searched the mountains and forests, climbed Luo Luo to pick and choose, and finally found nothing, helpless, and left with hatred. So far, Liu Gong's family, old and young, have all died under the killer's knife, and Liu Gong's young son is missing, and his life and death are unknown. Who are the seven killings? The big thief and the killer? There are different opinions, and there are doubts. Three days later, Liu Gong added ten new graves on the difficult place, the remains of the eleven members of Liu Gong's family were properly buried, the graves were properly arranged, arranged in the order of the elder and the youngest, and there was a wooden tombstone inserted in front of the grave, indicating the identity and name of the deceased; three miles away from the place where the white horse warrior was killed, there were also two more graves, one was the white horse green mound, the other was the strong man's green mound, according to the rumors of the mountain fathers, the two grave repairers were the same person, and the coffins used for burial were also purchased by the grave repairers. Yu secretly thought: The grave repairer must be the deceased relatives and friends of Liu Gong before his death, Liu Gong is from Daoxiang Village, Tiantai, eastern Zhejiang, and has no relatives and friends in northwest Zhejiang, and the grave repairer purchased a coffin three days after the incident, gathered craftsmen, and came to bury the corpse and build the tomb. Half a month later, Yu Fang began to hear the news and came, rebuilt the cemetery of Liu Gong and the White Horse Zhuang, the tomb was not moved, did not alarm the spirits, strengthened the cemetery, set up a tree monument, increased the repair of the Yongdao, cultivated pines and cypresses, solemn and dignified, and was loyal and good. Yu faced the green mound, the liver and intestines were broken, and the emotions were in the middle, and the words were expressed. Woohoo lamentation, the autumn of slaughter, grief and indignation, hanging my best friend, a glass of thin wine, how can the love be worthy, Liu Gong is honest, upright, worried about the world, caring for the common people, walking straight, jealousy and hatred, opening the ghost of crime, it is inevitable, then suffered a catastrophe, almost to the door, the rest of the heart is angry, it is difficult to sleep, the way of heaven is obscure, ordinary people are unpredictable, good and evil are rewarded, there will be a time, the clouds open and the fog is gone, the water falls out, the song cries and hopes, and the blood is returned to blood. The sun is slanting in the west, the twilight is all over the wilderness, chatting about preparing for thin laying, sacrificing to the souls of injustice, Fu Wei is still paid, and the gods are blessed.

The inscription is: the original inscription of Ouyang on a certain day in a certain year.

Reading the inscription, Liu Sange's tears were like springs, and Nan Bu fell and wept with Xiao Lizi.

Xiao Lizi stayed by the carriage, and Liu Sange and Nan Bu carried food boxes and offerings, stepped on the ice and snow, walked into the road, and came to the tomb of Liu Renkuan and his wife.

Ten tombs, arranged in an orderly manner, the tomb located in the middle is surrounded by a huge stone, elegant and tall, it is a joint burial tomb, and the tombstone is engraved with "the tomb of Liu Wu, the wife of Liu Gongren, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu"

Third Brother Liu stared at the inscription on the tombstone: Ouyang Yuan stood on a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day. Who is Ouyang Yuan? Where is he now? The grave was erected 25 years ago, about shortly after the death of his family, Ouyang Yuan rushed to Luoyanling to fund the construction.

The remaining nine graves, according to the tombstones, two are their brothers, two are sisters, and the rest, one is a nurse, one is a maid, and the other three are male servants, a family of eleven, all of whom died, and the only one who survived was himself.

Who are the killers? Twenty-five years later, will I be able to find them? Will the blood debt be paid with blood, and this wish will be fulfilled?

Liu Sange doesn't know, he doesn't know that he has to look for it, and he has to spend his life to find those enemies in front of and behind the scenes to repay the blood debt.

Liu Sange and Nan Bu silently swept away the snow on the offering table in front of the grave, put wine, flesh and fruits, and lit incense and candles. Both of them fell on the snow in front of their parents' graves, mourning and weeping, and after a long time, they began to wipe away their tears and get up.

Third Brother Liu secretly decided in his heart that the first major thing he had to do in this life was to find the murderer and repay the blood debt.

Then, Liu Sange and his entourage went to the White Horse Mausoleum three miles away.

There, there is also a long cemetery road next to the ancient post road, the pines and cypresses on both sides are lush, and there is also a huge stone tablet under the pine tree at the intersection, Liu Sange and others stop to watch, entitled "The rebuilding of the tomb of the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the white horse" , the article is short and concise, the whole article is as follows: a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, the heroes of the rivers and lakes white horse strong, passing through the Luoyanling Ancient Post Road, saw the seven killers slaughtering Zhongliang, angrily pulled out the knife, fought with the bandits, and took the gap to save the orphan of Liu Gong, flew on the horse, rushed out of the encirclement, and then the white horse was killed by an arrow, and was caught up by the seven kills, the strong man was brave, and the bloody battle was to death. The seven killers wanted to kill Liu Gong's orphan, but they couldn't find him. It shows that the white horse warrior is witty and not an ordinary person. Such a heroic martyr is rare in the world. Yu Xin admired, chatted about preparing for Bo Di, sighed and sighed, and sang a long song to the sky: white horse heroes, unknown heroes, friends of Pingshui, draw swords to help, sacrifice their lives in bloody battles, save orphans, although they are still alive, they are full of Changhong, Fu Wei is still paid, and the gods are blessed.

The inscription is: the original inscription of Ouyang on a certain day in a certain year.

This inscription, Liu Sange can also memorize it backwards, but every time he comes here, he will still look at it carefully, and every time he reads it, he will be enthusiastic, and he admires the heroic feat of Engong Baima. At the same time, he asked himself: What is the name of the Champion White, who is the Hero's clan, what sect does his martial arts belong to, Is his family still alive? Does his family know that he has died? How should I repay the Warrior White's life-saving grace?

Similarly, Liu Sange doesn't know anything, he doesn't know that he has to look for it, find the benefactor's relatives, and say thank you, that is the second big thing he has to do in his life, he wants to spend his life looking for the benefactor's relatives, and use his life to repay the kindness.

With tears in his eyes, Liu Sange stepped on the snow with Nan Bu down, passed through the long road, and came to the tomb of the white horse hero, and Xiao Lizi stayed at the intersection to watch the carriage and horses.

There are two graves here, one is the "Tomb of the White Horse" and the other is the "Tomb of the Mighty White Horse". The tomb of the white horse warrior is tall and elegant, surrounded by huge stones, a tombstone in front of the grave, engraved "the tomb of the white horse warrior of the rivers and lakes", the side of the stele is still "a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, a wild goose Ouyang Yuan Jingli". The tomb of the white horse is slightly smaller, similar in shape, and is positioned at the back to show the master and slave.

Liu Sange and Nan Bu poured on the table in front of the grave to display wine, flesh and fruits, insert incense and light candles, and worship sincerely.

He secretly prayed in his heart: Wang Engong is in the dark, guiding him in this life and this life, and can fulfill the two wishes of revenge and gratitude.

As for whether these two wishes can be fulfilled, Third Brother Liu really has no bottom in his heart, and he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, and to this day, he doesn't even have a clue.

Now, what I know is nothing more than the scene that my father-in-law Bai Yilin saw, the seven killers, the leader is called "Baimao Feng", and there is a white horse strong man who flashes by, in addition, it is the content recorded in the two inscriptions of Ouyang Yuan. Ouyang Yuan rushed to the foot of Luoyan Ridge half a month later when he heard the news, and at that time, most of the records in the text were rumors, mixed with feelings, and their authenticity is to be discussed, but Ouyang Yuan may have known the background of the disaster, and from the two inscriptions, he faintly revealed that he seemed to know about his father's death; and three days after the incident, the kind-hearted man who rushed to the scene to bury the corpse, why was the news so well-informed? Could it be that he had always followed behind his parents and had foreseen a dangerous future? Who was he? Twenty-five years later, is this kind-hearted man still there? He definitely knows a lot more than Ouyang Yuan, maybe Ouyang Yuan also knows a little bit about this person. First, where do I start?

Prince Yi also claimed to be his father a close friend? Is it true or false? He paid a huge amount of money to hire me to arrest the murderer, is it a sincere move? Or does he have ulterior motives? When dealing with people like him, it is not enough to keep one more heart, but to keep a few more eyes, perhaps, he also knows the truth about the murder of one or two fathers, whether it is true or not, Prince Yi is of course an important clue, at least one of the important people who are close to the truth. However, this old fox can't tell whether it's true or not, so don't fall for him.

Let's start by looking for Ouyang Yuan and well-wishers, only by finding them can we uncover the inside story of the incident, peel off the cocoon, get close to the truth of the incident, and solve the mystery of the whole incident.

The Good Samaritan is a shadow, hard to find. Yandang Ouyang Yuan, with a name, a surname and a place of origin, it shouldn't be too difficult to find him.

Twenty-five years later, are they both still alive? Third Brother Liu is really a little uncertain......

Liu Sange thought about it, suddenly, the wild lynx Erhei screamed three times in succession: meow, the cat flew in the bushes, shooting at the third brother like lightning, where the second black passed, the snow powder flew among the bushes, Liu Sange was shocked, there was a situation, he pressed the hilt of the sword, the long sword was already in his hand, Nan Bu fell after all, he was a few beats slower, and then pulled out the long sword, the first thing Liu Sange thought in his heart was that Nan did not fall, he could not leave and not fall, he was afraid that there would be a mistake, he was afraid that the love he had just found would be gone, he didn't know if he could withstand the blow of the second love, he raised his sword and condensed, and scanned the surrounding situation carefully, and then, his eyes were staring at the intersection of the cemetery road, and he didn't know whether to fly to the place where Erhei called the police, or did he guard the south to ensure her safety? Then he took the lead in rushing to the Yongdao crossing, Liu Sange was just a little under his feet, Huo Lala, from the south does not fall overhead, flying in front of the head, this hesitation, it was just a moment of effort, suddenly, the intersection came from the little plum "ah" a scream, they were like two big birds, flying to the intersection, only to see the little plum with his left hand covering his chest, his right hand holding half of the sword pulled out, fell on the snow next to the carriage, a figure wearing a white cloak, in the forest mang, no trace, the branches in the forest shook for a while, the snow coughed and fell.

Third Brother Liu said: "Anan, you save Xiao Lizi, I'll come when I go." ”

Saying that, he raised his breath and ran down, chased down, and ran out of the jungle in front of him, the branches have been shaking, the snow has been coughing and falling, the killer has entered the realm, and he can't catch up for a while, Liu Sange secretly thought: No, don't have an accident if Nan doesn't fall, he has to give up the chase, turn around and run back, and after a while, he has come to the bolted carriage, Nan Bu asked: "Brother, where is the killer?"

Third Brother Liu said: "Run, so fast." ”

Nan Bu choked up and said: "Who killed Xiao Lizi, why did you kill Xiao Lizi, did she provoke you by recruiting you, the murderer of a thousand knives, this son and you will never be good." ”

Third Brother Liu asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Lizi?"

Nan Bu said: "Dead, no help, her heart was shot through by a branch, the killer's internal skills are very good, look, this is the branch that nailed the little plum to the ground." ”

Nan Bu was holding a branch in his hand, the branch was only as thick as a chopstick, stained with blood, and there were two dead leaves attached to the fork.

Without strong energy, it is absolutely impossible for a thin branch to penetrate the chest cavity and insert it into a person's heart. What's more, Xiao Lizi's kung fu is not an ordinary person.

Third Brother Liu looked at this branch and knew the weight of the opponent, the opponent's kung fu was between himself and himself, and in the future of this chase and fight, who died and who lived, there was no way to speculate, perhaps, the final outcome depends on luck.

The two of them went down the mountain to buy a coffin shroud, called a stonemason hired worker, and buried the little plum in the Liujia cemetery, the stone tablet is engraved with the "tomb of the loyal servant Xiao Lizi", after the third brother Liu discussed with Nan Bu Down, in order to keep it secret and not expose the line of the South Bu Fall, the payment was actually "Yandang Ouyang Yuan Jingli", I don't know how Ouyang Gong felt after seeing it.

That night, they stayed at the Changhua Inn.

Winter nights are warm, couples talk at night:

Third Brother Liu said: "Anan, it's dangerous for you to follow me, are you afraid?"

Nan Bu said: "What do you mean?"

Third Brother Liu said: "I want to send you back to the South China Sea." ”

"Don't go. ”

"I'll pick you up when I'm done with my revenge. ”

"When you take revenge, I have become an old woman, and you let me stay alive and widowed!"

"You see, there is an enemy who is secretly staring at us, that person's martial arts have entered the realm, not under me, I am afraid that you will have an accident, I am really afraid. ”

"I'm also afraid, I'm afraid that you will have an accident, do you want me to be alone all day long for you? Since I like you, your business is my business, I want to share it for you, you have to have three long and two short, is it interesting for me to live, can you still live when I am alive? Nan Bu said it very softly, but very resolutely.

Third Brother Liu held her tightly in his arms, speechless for a while, he said: "If you want to follow me, you must agree to two conditions for me." ”

"On what terms?"

"First, I'm going to teach you a set of martial arts, and you have to learn this set of martial arts in three months. ”

"What martial arts?"

"The essence of Kunlun swordsmanship: the thirteen styles of the wordless true scripture. ”

"What's the benefit of learning?"

"These thirteen styles are mainly defensive, supplemented by attack, and learned the thirteen styles, even the top masters in the world can't hurt you within two hours, and if you are not careful, you may fall under your sword. ”

"Okay, I'll learn, of course. I don't want to die yet, as soon as I die, what will you do if you forget me? What if you go and marry a girl again, I am under Jiuquan, and I will not be alive and angry!"

Liu Sange said with a smile: "If you talk a little childish, you can die even if you die!"

Nan Bu said: "You can't believe a man's words, when it's good, I will coax you to turn your head, turn around, and see a fresh and beautiful girl, so I will forget all the words I have said." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "What nonsense." I can tell you, the thirteen styles of the wordless scripture are not easy to learn, and you have to work hard. ”

"Don't be scary, don't you, isn't it possible that there is a knowledge that is more difficult to learn than the medical skills of the South China Sea. ”

Third Brother Liu said: "That's not the same thing. ”

Nan Bu asked, "What is the second condition?"

"The second condition is: when I am not there, I am not allowed to treat anyone under any circumstances. The trap on the rivers and lakes is impossible to prevent, for fear that you will fall into the trap of thieves. ”

Nan Bu asked: "If that person dies if he is not treated, I am not allowed to treat him." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "Yes, not allowed. ”

Nan Bu said: "Then are you still Third Brother Liu! Third Brother Liu has become a cold-blooded animal who can't be saved when he sees death." What if I don't say yes?"

Liu Sange said: "Go back to the South China Sea." ”

Nan Bu listened to his tone very resolutely, there was no room for negotiation, and he secretly thought in his heart, it seems that it will not work if he does not agree, you let me see death and not save me, it will not be done, and then I will talk about it, so he prevaricated: "Okay, okay, yes, yes." ”

Third Brother Liu said: "It's not that I'm hard-hearted, it's that the rivers and lakes are too sinister." ”

Nan Bu muttered: "You look at the rivers and lakes too darkly." ”

Liu Sange said: "Some people's hearts are just black." Anan, you don't understand the rivers and lakes, and there is nothing more dangerous than not understanding the rivers and lakes. ”

Nan Bu didn't take his words seriously at all.

＊＊＊

The flying thief Ding Piaopeng is now relaxed, and after the deadly 300,000 taels of silver bounty wanted warrant was canceled, it was as if he had unloaded a burden, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The people on the rivers and lakes died because of him, whether rich or poor, they were paying tribute to him, he felt a little embarrassed, the more sad and grand the ceremony of memorial to the soul, the more he felt ashamed, in fact, I didn't die at all, this is not fooling the people, he really wanted to write a notice to tell everyone: I, Ding Piaopeng, did not die at all, but died of a few impostor murderers.

Thinking about it and holding back, it was not a joke, and he would be scolded to death by the third brother. Besides, even if you write a notice yourself, who will believe it!

I heard that the memorial activities of the Four Seas Dart Bureau are the most pious, the gate holds a "soul returns" of the soul flag, all the dartmen, executioners, coachmen and coolies, male servants and maids, all arms tied with black yarn, next to the wall in front of the door, the mighty flag embroidered with the four golden characters of the "Four Seas Dart Bureau", since the opening of the mountain, always fluttering high under the blue sky, but now, it is also under the flag at half-mast. Not only the Beijing General Dart Bureau, but also all the branches across the country have been announced by Pegasus, for a period of one month, a grand memorial, no exception.

Listening to the third brother, Cui Da'an and his wife thought that the two heads hanging on the south city gate were themselves and Xiao Er, and they were willing to risk the death penalty, so they secretly went to pick them off late at night and found a hidden place to bury them.

The Four Seas Dart Bureau is near the Temple of Heaven, Ding Piaopeng drove the carriage to the door of the Four Seas Dart Bureau during the day to go around, sure enough, the spirit flag fluttering under the gatehouse, the flag of the dart flag was half-mast, and the dart players in and out of each arm were wrapped in black veil, and their faces were solemn, and even the two stone lions in front of the door were also draped in black veil. I heard that in order to thank him for saving his life at the toddler bridge, the overlord whip Cui Da'an also set up a mourning hall in the inner house to enshrine his spiritual position, which was really a bit crying and laughing for Ding Piaopeng, and he felt more and more uneasy.

He can't stay in Beijing anymore, go, go to Nanjing to see Wang Xiaoer, and then go to Suzhou with Xiaoer, go to the grave of the little peach girl, and burn a pillar of incense. Thinking of the little peach girl, he wanted to cry, what a good girl, he finally found someone he liked, originally, he should have taken her away and flew away, but he was afraid of this and that, and lost the last chance, so that the two lovers were separated by yin and yang, and they could not get together again, which was the biggest regret in this life.

Hey, I can't think about it, I'll go crazy if I think about it again, let's go to Nanjing to relax, Wang Xiaoer set up a small inn by the Qinhuai River, I don't know how it happened.

＊＊＊

The Confucius Temple by the Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in Nanjing.

Confucius Temple around the shops are lined up, row upon row, a bay of green water flows in front of the Confucius Temple, that is the Qinhuai River, there is a painting boat on the river, there is a silk bamboo song and dance in the painting boat, the lights are brilliant all night, the singing and dancing are leveled, on both sides of the Qinhuai River in this area, there are also countless inns and hotels Qinglou gambling halls, this area of the Confucius Temple has become an excellent place for fun, the flow of people is surging all day long, and the stream is endless.

Wang Xiaoer bought a large mansion at the west end of the Confucius Temple, which is close to the Qinhuai River, with beautiful scenery, quiet in the middle of noisy, and quite comfortable. This kid is clever, and after a little decoration, he recruited a few guys and set up a Shunfeng Inn. The inn has a good business and can earn a few dollars a month.

Wang Xiaoer naturally didn't dare to show his true face, he put on the makeup of a middle-aged man, alias Chen Jiashan, sitting behind the counter, watching the travelers coming and going from the south to the north, listening to them speak various local dialects, he felt very interesting, and sometimes learned a few words casually. The guys think that Boss Chen is easy to talk to, and it is also good, but it is strange, Boss Chen is so rich, why is he single? Is he sick? He said that his home is in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and he has not seen him go home, nor has he seen people from his hometown come to visit him, which is a little weird.

Wang Xiaoer heard from his buddy that a notice was posted at the head of the city, and the famous flying thief Ding Piaopeng was caught and beheaded, and his accomplice Wang Xiaoer was also beheaded, and two heads were hung on the city tower in Beijing for public display.

Wang Xiaoer was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and he also went to see the notice, and after reading it, he covered his mouth and was happy, knowing that Wang Xiaoer no longer existed in the world, and his sins were written off. It's really not a thing, it's still iron-faced, what about God Catch, ** hair, talking like a fart dog thing!

However, Lao Tzu has to keep a low profile, and he has to pretend to be middle-aged every day, so that no one can recognize him, things on the rivers and lakes become fast, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

He was happy, but found that every household in Nanjing had all provoked the spirit flags, writing "The soul returns", "The heroic soul is immortal", "I love the fluttering peng", "Ah Si returns", wow, it is all a eulogy to mourn Brother Ding, hey, why no one mourns me, I also sacrificed heroically, it's really a little unfair, but he is still happy, Brother Ding is a fucking hero, when he is not afraid of death, why is this kid so bold. I'm not like him, when it comes to life and death, he doesn't fucking get angry, and I'm scared to the core.

However, it's really exciting and exciting to think about those days.

Although the tourists who came to stay in the hotel were in a hurry, they all scolded the world and corrupt officials indignantly, and expressed deep sorrow for Ding Ge's death.

Wang Xiaoer paced down the corridor, and these days, travelers talk about Ding Piaopeng and sometimes about himself. Someone said: "Wang Xiaoer is only seventeen years old, I heard that he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he cut off his head, it's a pity." ”

"I heard that no one has even done it, and the young man is dead, isn't that in vain!"

Wang Xiaoer really wanted to interject and say, "That's not right. He has been a man, this year in Huai'an, he slept with a foot bath girl, why hasn't he been a man. You've never been a human being. ”

The passenger said: "The officials even kill children, it's really bad." ”

Wang Xiaoer said in his heart: "I'm a child, Lao Tzu is the owner of Shunfeng Inn, and there are six or seven people under him, what a fucking nonsense!"

Not happy to hear this, he went for a walk near the Confucius Temple.

Anyway, when it comes to Ding Piaopeng, no one doesn't give a thumbs up, and when it comes to himself, there is only sympathy and pity, as if he is a waste. Everyone doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for me, Ding Piaopeng wouldn't have died under Lang Qi's knife long ago, Ding Piaopeng's bravery, how to say it, I also have a share.

After five or six days, there were fewer and fewer spirit flags, and the travelers in the inn began to talk little about the flying thief Ding Piaopeng.

Ten days later, the conjuring banner is extinct, Ding Piaopeng is tired of talking about this topic, life is still going on as usual, farming the land, working part-time, doing business, eating with the mouth, making money if you want to eat, there is nothing more important in the world than these two things.

Wang Xiaoer is still running the Shunfeng Inn well, he doesn't dare to cause trouble, he cherishes this peaceful and comfortable life very much, this is the happy life he dreamed of in his fugitive career. In the past six months, he has been born and died, and he has learned to be content and grateful, which is God's favor for him. If you don't do it well, and if you cause trouble again, you deserve it.

Wang Xiaoer is a person who likes freshness, so he chose the business of doing inns. You can see all kinds of people in the inn, different looks, different clothes, and you can also hear the local dialects of the travelers from the south to the north, he likes to listen to the travelers' speeches, the local dialects, strange and strange, the southern dialect really can't understand, the more south the more difficult to understand, Wenzhou, Guangzhou, the birds and flowers, listen to a confused account. Most of the northern dialects can be understood, and the most straightforward and easy to understand is still Northeast dialect.

On that day, two northeasterners came, with the smell of garlic, one tall and thin, with a pale face, like a zombie, and a sword, and the other of medium stature, with a face as yellow as gold, as if he had liver disease, with a sword, and a bow and arrows on his back. The pale-faced, thin, tall man said to the yellow-faced man: "Goldfish, you go to the counter to pay, I have run out of silver." ”

Xiao Erxin said: It's too exaggerated, what a golden fish, it clearly looks like a hepatitis patient.

The golden fish said: "Bai Tiaozi, your silver ticket should also be cashed, the silver on my body is enough for a day or two." ”

Xiao Erxin said: The wild white striped fish of the Yangtze River is delicious, and the belly and thin and tall face are generally white, I don't know if it is his real name or nickname.

Bai Tiaozi said: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow." ”

The two of them muttered in front of the counter, Wang Xiaoer sat behind the counter and grinned, interesting, one of these two people is called Jinyu, the other is called Baitiaozi, they really look a little similar, look at the appearance of these two people, it doesn't seem to be serious, it seems to be mixed in the rivers and lakes.

They asked for a secluded room, and ordered a few drinks and food, and asked the man to bring them to the room.

After a while, the man brought the food and drinks to their room. At night, Wang Xiaoer wanted to ask the two guests what else they wanted, he could have asked the guy to do it, but at that time, the guy was busy entertaining the guests, and he couldn't take a break, so he went by himself.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw that the lights were on in the room, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no sound in the house, so I thought the two of them were asleep, so I walked to the door and listened carefully, only to hear the whispers inside, but I couldn't hear what was being said at all.

It seemed that the goldfish and the white stripe were not good people, and they were too secretive, and he wanted to turn away, but he was curious, so he tiptoed and the cat went under the window to eavesdrop.

I only heard the golden fish whisper: "The boss said that No. 3, No. 4, No. 6, and No. 7 died in three years, which is too strange." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Who is the killer? Do it more professionally than our buddies, leaving no traces." ”

Xiao Erxin said: It seems that these two masters are professional killers, no wonder they speak sneakily and don't look like good people.

Jinyu said: "The boss suspects that it is Third Brother Liu." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Third Brother Liu?!"

Wang Xiaoer has a Geden in his heart, what's the matter, has something to do with the third brother?

Jinyu said: "Think about it, it's not who he can be, who can kill these four killers and walk so cleanly! Do you remember, two months ago, our brothers, plus Lu Taosha, the three of them were about to kill the black fat man in the wild, but they made a trip to bite the gold halfway and stirred up the situation, the kid's sleeve arrow was really fucking amazing, so scared that Lao Tzu straightened his eyes, he was really stunned, it was the boss, and it was enough to choke when he touched this person. If we hadn't walked fast, I'm afraid that this guy who eats would have been around his neck a long time ago. He pointed to his head and said, "I think that kid may be Third Brother Liu, believe it or not, Brother Bai?"

Bai Tiaozi said: "Believe, why don't you believe it, Third Brother Liu caused us not to do this business, and the buyer is not happy, the balance of this business has not been paid so far, and he said that he wants our shadow killer to compensate for the loss." The reasoning is also true, the boss feels that he is at a loss, and he doesn't want the final payment, this matter is not over, it is enough to rely on. Hey, mention him upset, come, let's have a drink. ”

As soon as the cup rang in the room, the two of them grunted and dried the cup, followed by the sound of smacking their lips and eating.

Bai Tiaozi said: "Third Brother Liu is only in his twenties, the boss suspects that Third Brother Liu is Liu Renkuan's son, and from the time calculation, yes, he is here to avenge his family." ”

Jinyu said: "Revenge for the family, how do you say this? Could it be that 25 years ago, Liu Renkuan's family of 11 was killed, and it was the boss who did it? I heard that Liu Renkuan's infant son was rescued by a stranger, could it be that the grass was really cut and not rooted, and the spring breeze blew and gave birth again!"

Bai Tiaozi said: "Shhh, tap, be careful that the wall has ears." Don't talk nonsense, we don't say that, don't worry about what you shouldn't do, don't say what you shouldn't say, this is the rule of our industry. ”

Goldfish said: "Yes." But the work assigned to us by the boss is too mysterious, and he wants us to find Li Youzhong, the disciple of Qilian Sword God Qi Daye twenty-five years ago. The boss has a heart problem, and that is Li Youzhong, and the more Li Youzhong has no news, the more the boss's heart is not at peace, how can Li Youzhong disappear? What has he been doing all these years? This is what the boss is anxious to know. Let's think, Li Youzhong is here, he should be frightened, he is in a place, let's survive, what else can I do. It's been more than 25 years, and you don't know whether the surname Li is dead or alive, how do we brothers know. said that his hometown was in Wuxi, and the boss himself went to it a few times, but he didn't find it. Recently, I heard that Li Youzhong was a monk in Zizhu Temple in the south of Wuxi City, and his legal name is Fumo Monk, maybe he is hidden in the temple, but in fact, it is all hearsay, and there is no basis at all. You can't find it, but you told our brothers to look for it, where to find it, really. ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Brother, you say something useless, at that time, why don't you say it in front of the boss, and make some useless things behind your back." ”

Jinyu said: "Brother Bai, can you say it, if you want to say it, it will abolish your martial arts at best, and maybe it will be death at worst." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Don't say it, brother, let's do our best, if we can't find it, we will go back to our lives, and the boss can't do anything to the two of us." ”

Goldfish said: "We really don't understand, what are you looking for Li Youzhong, he was only seventeen or eight years old at the time, and he had a hairy child, and now he should be forty and zero, and he can still toss a famous name." ”

Bai Tiaozi said: "Perhaps, Li Youzhong knows who killed Liu Renkuan's family, and if he kills Li Youzhong, he will cut off the clues of the killer, and the ever-changing Third Brother Liu just wants to take revenge, and he can't find the door, so the boss will have peace of mind." Let's try our luck, it's best to find Li Youzhong, go back to report to the boss, the boss is also happy, he will take care of it himself; Come on, let's have another drink. ”

Goldfish said, "Okay." They toasted again.

Goldfish asked, "Brother Bai, where are we going tomorrow?"

Bai Tiaozi said: "Zhenjiang." ”

Goldfish smiled, "Great. The White Lady floods the Jinshan Temple, take a look. ”

Bai Tiaozi also smiled: "Fahai Monk's robe retreats from the tide of anger, it's very fun." ”

I can't imagine that these two weirdos will chant a few crooked poems. Wang Xiaoer under the window listened carefully with bated breath, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he tiptoed out again.

When he came to the front hall of the inn, he sat on a chair behind the counter and thought, who is that boss? Is it the old demon wolf of a nest of wolves in Yinshan? No. I've never seen the golden fish and the white strip myself, what are they doing? Does Third Brother Liu know that someone is plotting against him behind his back? Is it useful to calculate Third Brother Liu? Ten flying thieves Ding Piaopeng are difficult to compare with Third Brother Liu, I don't want to worry about the sky. However, when you meet Brother Liu, you have to say hello to him, as the saying goes: open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.

Early the next morning, Goldfish and White Strip came to the counter to settle the bill, and after paying the fee, they stepped onto the two fast horses that the shopkeeper had brought from the stable, and slowly left.

Wang Xiaoer really wanted to follow the two of them secretly and go to Wuxi to see what was going on, but he couldn't leave. Since last night, Wang Xiaoer's heart has calmed down for a long time, and he tossed it again, where is Third Brother Liu, where will I go to find him, and tell him all the things I overheard. It would be nice if Brother Ding was here, it has been a month since I broke up with Brother Ding in Nanjing, and the mansion of Shunfeng Inn is still the silver from Brother Ding, and Brother Ding is really a friend.

In the evening, a middle-aged businessman who was driving a car came, the man was delicate and lean, with three locks of slight beard, dressed in a brown shirt, a long sword hanging from his waist, a burden on his shoulders, and black cloth shoes on his feet, jumped down from the carriage, and the man went up to meet him and asked, "Big brother lives in the hotel?"

"Yes. The middle-aged merchant handed the whip to the man and said, "Don't forget to feed and drink the horses, clean the carriage too, and tip separately." ”

The guy said, "Okay, thank you, big brother." So he drove the wagon to the stables.

The middle-aged businessman entered the front hall of the Shunfeng Inn, Wang Xiaoer sat behind the counter reading a novel, and when he saw a guest, he didn't care. The middle-aged businessman walked straight to the counter and said to Wang Xiaoer: "Hey, it's getting more and more unruly, my uncle is here, and I pretend not to know him." ”

Such a familiar voice, such a familiar figure, Wang Xiaoer rubbed his eyes, calmed down, patted his head, and recognized that it was the flying thief Ding Piaopeng, so he responded casually: "Ouch, my uncle is here, no wonder a magpie is calling today, it turns out that the distinguished guest is here." Xiao Er hurriedly put down the book in his hand, came out of the counter, took Ding Piaopeng's hand, shook it, was very happy, and personally arranged him to the room in the inner courtyard. It is a small courtyard, three rooms, a small patio, the patio is the place where Xiao Er practices martial arts, the back door is facing the Qinhuai River, and the environment is extraordinarily quiet.

Seeing Ding Piaopeng, Xiao Er was like seeing a relative, and after making tea, the two chatted, and Xiao Er overheard the conversation between the golden fish and the white strip yesterday, word for word.

Ding Piaopeng asked, "Who is the boss of the golden fish and the white stripe?"

Xiao Er said: "I don't know." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "They want to find Li Youzhong, the disciple of Qilian Sword God Qi?"

Xiao Er said: "That's right. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Do you know who the Qilian Sword God Qi Daye is?"

Xiao Er said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "I heard that more than 20 years ago, Qi Daye fought invincible opponents all over the world with a single knife, and that was the number one martial arts master in the world in the previous generation. ”

Xiao Er asked, "Where is he now?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "It is said that he has long since retired, and some people have seen him in Qilian Mountain, saying that he has become a horse wrangler, driving horses, living in water and grass, living a free and easy life, and he has long been tired of the bloody wind and rain of the rivers and lakes, and he has ignored it." ”

Xiao Er said: "Then his disciple Li Youzhong is also very powerful in martial arts, right?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "I don't know. It seems that Li Youzhong is an insider of the Liu family's bloody case, and someone wants to kill Li Youzhong. ”

Xiao Er said: "Yes." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "This Li Youzhong later became a monk in Wuxi Zizhu Temple, and his law name is Fu Demon. ”

Xiao Er said: "Yes." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "The third brother must also want to find Li Youzhong." To take revenge, Li Youzhong must be found. ”

Xiao Er said: "I think so." ”

Ding Piaopeng pondered: "Yes, I want to help the third brother and go to Li Youzhong." ”

Xiao Er said: "What are you looking for him?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "Give the third brother a surprise, what the third brother wants most now is Li Youzhong." ”

Xiao Er said: "But I don't know what this person looks like, how to find it?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "As long as Li Youzhong is alive, he can find it." There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. ”

Xiao Er said: "I want to follow Brother Ding to find Li Youzhong." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Don't talk nonsense, I still have to take care of you with you, but it gets in the way, you can be your boss." ”

Xiao Er said: "I'm really useless, even Brother Ding looks down on me." If I find Li Youzhong, how can I tell you. ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "You don't have that good luck. If you really find it, you can go and tell the brothers at the Nanjing branch of the waterway, and they will quickly pass the news to the third brother Liu. Ding Piaopeng told Wang Xiaoer the code of the joint of the waterway.

Wang Xiaoer said: "Okay, I want to fight for breath, compare with Brother Ding, see who finds Li Youzhong first! See who is more capable than who!"

Ding Piaopeng laughed and said, "Okay, then let's compare." ”

Wang Xiaoer said: "If I find Li Youzhong first, you will have to listen to me in the future." ”

Ding Piaopeng said: "Okay, listen to you." ”

"Really?"

"Of course. ”

"Words don't count, turtle bastard. ”

"Okay, gentleman's words, it's hard to chase the horse. Ding Piaopeng asked, "What if you lose?"

Wang Xiaoer said: "Then I'll listen to you in my life, okay?"

Ding Piaopeng said: "I don't think it's very good, isn't that the same as nothing?"

Wang Xiaoer said: "What do you want, you still want me to listen to you in the next life, you are not my father! I will not listen to you in the next life, listen to my father." ”

Ding Piaopeng thought about it and said, "Okay, that's it." He then asked, "Where did the goldfish and the white strip leave today?"

Xiao Er said: "Zhenjiang." I heard that Li Youzhong is a native of Wuxi and has also been a monk in Wuxi, and their destination must be Wuxi. ”

Ding Piaopeng originally wanted to go to Suzhou with Xiao Er and pay respects to the grave of the little peach girl, but now, he changed his mind, Huo Di stood up, and said, "I have to catch up and see what those two thieves want to do!"

Xiao Er grabbed his hand and said hurriedly: "Brother Ding, why are you in a hurry, how can you say that the wind is rain, it is not easy for our brothers and sons to meet, stay for two days and then leave, you want to do this, I will have something in the future, and I will not tell you again." ”

Ding Piaopeng saw that Xiao Er was really anxious, tears rolled in his eyes, and he almost fell off, so he had to sit down and said: "You also know that it was the third brother who saved my life, and now that the third brother has something, how can I stand by and watch, I want to help him fulfill his wish of revenge in secret." ”

Xiao Er said: "The third brother has also saved my life many times, I understand this truth, but I don't care about a day or two, anyway, I won't let you go, you have to stay for one night." ”

Ding Piaopeng thought about it too, and promised not to leave today, but to leave tomorrow. Xiao Er broke into tears and laughed, and was busy greeting his buddies, arranging wine and food, and entertaining his uncle who came from afar.

While the two were drinking and chatting, Xiao Er told Ding Piaopeng that he was the owner of Shunfeng Inn, now known as Chen Jiashan, who was one year old today Chinese New Year's Eve and was from Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Don't export your real name, lest you reveal your secrets.

Ding Piaopeng smiled: "I understand, shopkeeper Chen." ”
