August 15, the autumn festival month.

In the twilight, on Qili Ancient Street in Sioux City, there was a thin boy who had just returned from school.

In the well-located old tavern on Qili Old Street, the girl named Tsing Yi has not yet learned the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but according to the custom, a table full of small and medium-sized food, peanuts, radish, and lotus root have also made a few plates.

After doing all this, the girl Tsing Yi sat back on the chair behind the counter, and looked out with her hands on her cheeks.

Familiar footsteps sounded, and every step seemed to be smashed on the tip of the heart, trembling.

Every day, she deduced from the sound of footsteps the good and bad mood of the person she scarcely dared to face.

Today is slower than usual, heavier than usual.

When the footsteps stopped at the door of the tavern, the girl Tsing Yi lowered her head and trotted over to take the boy's schoolbag.

The boy's surname is Zhou, and his name is Ran.

Zhou Ran glanced at the sumptuous dinner on the table, but turned around and went upstairs.

Tsing Yi didn't dare to call him, and she didn't dare to say anything, she stood behind the counter again, supported her chin with her hands, and watched the crowd of people coming and going outside, and she didn't greet a few people who came in occasionally. Anyway, those people won't stay long after seeing the price, and if they meet a bad temper, they may scold a few words if they are crazy about money.

There are fewer and fewer old shops on Qili Ancient Street, and this old tavern called Jin Guichun more than two years ago can still be regarded as one. The foul-mouthed old Su Cheng occasionally remembered this and came to the tavern to drink a few sips. Since the little boss took over the tavern, the old taste that old Sioux City liked is still there, but the price has gone up. I don't know where the little boss got some strange medicinal wine, and the cheapest bottle dares to sell for thousands, and it is said that the most expensive bottles cost tens of thousands.

Qili Street is a famous attraction in Sioux City, and there are countless tourists who come and go every year.

The most profitable business is to sell cheap souvenirs, such as Jin Guichun, an old shop, with a signboard can also attract a lot of business, but unless the brain is caught in the door, who will spend so much money to buy a bottle of medicinal wine in the scenic spot that does not know whether it is true or false?

In less than half a year, Jin Guichun has declined from the door to the door, if it weren't for those uninformed foreign tourists who would be curious to walk in, Jin Guichun's door might have been overgrown with weeds.

Qili Old Street is a golden treasure land, and there are many pairs of eyes staring at each shop. After Jin Guichun's business plummeted, many people waited for the tavern to close down that day so that they could buy it from the little boss. After waiting for more than two years, Jin Guichun was still half-dead, but he didn't fall.

At ten o'clock, the old street was lit up.

The food on the table was already cold.

Zhou Ran stood by the window, his gaze slowly extending from the old street under his feet, and finally looked at the infinite starry sky at the end of his sight.

The night is as cool as water, and the autumn breeze blows.

The full moon falls on thousands of homes, and the teenager is independent.

"It's been almost three years!"

Zhou Ran whispered to himself, his eyes a little lonely.

When he came to Sioux City, he was only twelve years old, and at that time, he did not feel as lonely as he felt today except that the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was really cold.

"Come out with me!"

Zhou Ran came downstairs and said coldly.

Tsing Yi glanced at Zhou Ran in surprise, but he didn't dare to ask more, closed the door of the store, and quickly followed.

At this time, the evenings are already cool.

Tsing Yi followed behind Zhou Ran, unhurried as if walking, but after a few steps, the figures of the two disappeared from the ancient street.

Walk through the old streets, walk through the fields, and finally come to the Lingfang Mountain outside the city.

On this uninhabited mountain, Zhou Ran suddenly said, "Shoot!"

Tsing Yi was stunned, but she didn't dare to hesitate, and slashed at Zhou Ran with one palm.

Zhou Ran unusually didn't answer, and let that palm fall on his chest.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood arrow spit out, Zhou Ran took a few steps back, and finally fell down with his head up.

"Young Master!"

Tsing Yi's face turned pale in an instant, and she wanted to go over to help Zhou Ran up, but she was so frightened by the cold eyes that looked at her that she knelt down directly, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.

Zhou Ran retracted his gaze and looked at the starry sky with his hands: "Are you still so afraid of me?"

Tsing Yi shrank his body, still not daring to speak.

"You're actually trying to kill me, aren't you?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said, "There are many people who want me to die, how old are you?"

Zhou Ran chuckled twice, waved his hand casually, and there was an extra figure behind Tsing Yi out of thin air.

"Your name is Van Kui?"

The rickety man immediately knelt down: "Yes." ”

"Are you willing?"

Fan Kui put his hands on the ground, and buried his head deep in the ground: "Fan Kui is willing to respect the young master as the master, eternal life and eternity!"

"Eternal life and eternity are all right. ”

Zhou Ran turned his head sideways and said with a smile: "When I can kill you one day, I will set you free." ”

Tsing Yi and Fan Kui didn't speak, and there was a cold silence on the mountain.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the stars are shining.

Zhou Ran, who was lying down, sat up suddenly, his legs crossed and his knees, and closed his eyes.

Fan Kui and Tsing Yi got up and retreated into the distance, the two did not dare to make a sound, they could only communicate with their divine thoughts, for fear of disturbing the people who settled on the mountain.

"Old thing, your bones aren't much harder than mine!"

"If I don't come out again, you're going to die!"

"Hmph, he may not be willing to kill me!"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that it won't, just the five of us have lived until now, and I don't want to watch you die. ”

Tsing Yi sneered all over his face: "Why don't you wait for him to kill me before coming out? ”

"Then he'll kill you and me together!"

Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Fan Kui meant.

"He has not completely isolated Dingshi Zhu from this world, what has happened in the past few years, I know everything to the three inside. He who let me tell you that your temptations can be put away. ”

"He still wants to take care of me?"

"You have confessed the Lord, and surely he cannot kill you. ”

Fan Kui looked at Tsing Yi and sneered: "But with that person's ability, it is not difficult for you to live or die." ”

Tsing Yi's face changed slightly, and he snorted lightly and did not refute.

"The one who said that Ding Shizhu didn't know why, and it seemed that he had become one with this little master. ”

Tsing Yi was shocked: "How can Dingshi Zhu ......?"

Fan Kui looked at Tsing Yi with an emotionless look and continued: "As long as he is willing, he can know what we are thinking at any time, do you dare to be smart again?"

This time, Tsing Yi looked at Fan Kui with a look of horror in his eyes: "Then aren't we eternal slaves?"

Fan Kui slowly cracked his mouth and smiled: "You can still die!"

The sky was slightly bright, and before the rooster crowed, Zhou Ran slowly came back to his senses from the depth.

It is said that Qili Ancient Street has a long history of 1,000 years, but the oldest house is only more than 300 years, which is Jin Guichun.

The owner of the old tavern did not return, but the door was open.

Chen Qi sat in the lobby of the tavern, staring blankly at the direction of the door. At her feet lay a stretcher, covered in a blood-stained white cloth, and the protruding silhouette looked like a fat person.

Chen Qi's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was haggard, and the deputy director of the Supervision Department, who had just been transferred, looked at the little boss who finally came back and said:

"The third one!"

Zhou Ran didn't look at Chen Qi, but Tsing Yi said, "Throw it out!"

After speaking, Zhou Ran climbed the stairs and went upstairs.

Tsing Yi looked at it curiously, pouted, and threw it out with his backhand on the stretcher.

A blood-stained white cloth was blown by the wind and floated aside, and a mutilated corpse was exposed to the rising autumn morning sun.

It was a middle-aged corpse, his abdomen had been hollowed out, the left half of his face was bloodless, there were several clear tooth marks on the exposed cheekbones, and the pain and fear before death were fixed on the intact right side of his face.

"You!"

Chen Qi stood up abruptly and roared at Zhou Ran in a low voice: "Do you really see death and don't save it?!"

Zhou Ran said: "They deserve to die. ”

"They deserve to die by the law, not in the mouths of brutes. ”

Zhou Ran stopped, looked down at the last two stairs, and when he spoke again, his tone still seemed to be calm, but it was a little colder than before: "Since your law can sanction it, why did you come to me?"

Chen Qi said hoarsely: "Are you waiting for their family to die before you make a move?"

Zhou Ran turned his head to look at Chen Qi and said, "No!"

"Why?"

Chen Qi asked loudly: "Don't forget, you are ......"

"Shut up!"

Zhou Ran drank in a deep voice, his face became gloomy, he glanced at Tsing Yi coldly, and his voice faintly said angrily: "Send off!"

Tsing Yi was startled by Zhou Ran's eyes, and immediately trotted to Chen Qi's side: "You hurry up!"

Chen Qi stared at Zhou Ran's back, extremely angry in her heart, but helpless, she looked at the tower deeply, turned around and left.

The people of the Supervision Department who were hidden in the shadows appeared silently, and quickly gathered the body that had been thrown out.

Chen Qi was parachuted into Sioux City from the Ministry of Supervision of the Imperial Capital, and only after taking office encountered this difficult special case, three people died in a row in just five days, not only did she not catch the brute, but most of her men were injured. After being pointed out, she will find this place and ask Zhou Ran to help. She had thought that someone from the military would be able to help, but she was wrong.

It's like when she saw Zhou Ran for the first time, she didn't believe that this little guy who looked like a high school student would be a member of the military, and she didn't believe that a person who was a military person would watch the tragedy happen again and again and turn a deaf ear.

Even if all three of them deserve to die, the murderer is a brute!

There were still a few steps to walk out of this Qili Ancient Street, the expression on Chen Qi's face changed again and again, and then he turned around and returned to Qili Ancient Street.

Zhou Ran stood on the second floor, watching Chen Qi walk past the door of the tavern, watching her walk step by step to the end of the ancient street, watching her grit her teeth and enter the coffin shop after a few hesitations.

Zhou Ran retracted his gaze and began to write.

Writing is the best way to calm the mind.

In the next half month, the people from the Supervision Department did not come to the old tavern again, and the deputy director who had just been transferred was said to have been transferred away because of his great achievements, and she was replaced by a little-known young man.

The young man's name is He Qingzhi, who once served in a special unit of the military, and now has the rank of lieutenant colonel!

He Qingzhi was very excited, and after receiving his fate, he hurried to Sioux City.

But after entering the boundary of Sioux City, the new deputy director of the Supervision Department did not go to the Supervision Department to report for the first time, but came to Qili Ancient Street.

Dressed in a brand-new military uniform, he shoulders the shining school star.

He Qingzhi stood with his feet side by side, his face flushed with excitement, and he saluted the person in front of him who was much younger than himself:

"Hello Chief!"

From the moment He Qingzhi entered the door, Zhou Ran had a black face, and when He Qingzhi finished speaking, he pointed to the door and said, "Don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future, don't look for me if you have something, now, get out!"

He Qingzhi didn't know how to provoke Zhou Ran, but he didn't dare to move.

Zhou Ran saw that he didn't move, so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the person out.

Zhou Ran went upstairs, squinted his eyes and looked at the coffin shop in the innermost part of Qili Ancient Street, and said coldly: "I've been waiting for so long, I can't wait for this time in the end?"

(Don't collect, don't vote, hum! Now me, you love to ignore it! In the future, I will come to play often!)
