The fat old man pointed at Bai Cheng and laughed, laughed for a long time, shook his head again, and said, "Say, what do you ask?"

Bai Cheng stood up and asked in his ear, "Grandpa Zhang, have there been any shady people in the door recently?"

The fat old man thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Lately, that's not true." ”

Bai Cheng showed a look of disappointment on his face, then rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang is joking with me again." ”

The fat old man smiled bitterly and said, "I still can't hide it from you kid." To be honest, there haven't been recently, but a group of people have come to the New Year, hiding in the mountains and not leaving, almost half a year. ”

Bai Cheng's eyes flashed and asked, "How many people are there, and where are they?"

The fat old man didn't speak, dipped his fingers in the soup on the plate, made a few places on the table, and wrote a few numbers.

Bai Cheng remembered all these locations, and Zhengse said: "The grace of helping hands, the disciple will not dare to forget." ”

The fat old man wiped off the soup on the table, and said angrily: "You kid I watched you grow up, and what kind words do you say." ”

Bai Cheng smiled, didn't speak, pulled Lin Su up, and said, "The disciple still has some things to do, so don't bother your old man first." ”

The fat old man nodded and said, "If you have something to do, hurry up and get busy, now the mountain is not very peaceful, you have to be careful about that." ”

Bai Cheng nodded, turned and left the pine forest.

Sending the two away, the fat old man called out the middle-aged fat man, cleaned up the leftovers on the table together, washed up, and then went into the house to sleep.

The fat old man may have been very sleepy, so he dipped himself on the bed, and in a moment, the snoring sounded.

After another stick of incense, his snoring grew louder and louder, and he seemed to be asleep.

The middle-aged fat man couldn't sleep for some reason, and finally couldn't help it, gently uncovered the quilt, slowly stood up, and tiptoed to the door, holding his shoes in one hand and gently pulling the deadbolt with the other.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him snort, and a spirit on his body stood in place, and after a while, he saw that there was no movement, so he slowly looked back and looked, it turned out that the fat old man turned over.

He patted his chest, let out a sigh, turned around and was about to open the door, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say vaguely: "To be a man, you still have to have a clear conscience, otherwise you won't even be able to eat." ”

The middle-aged fat man made a loud "buzz" in his head, and the muscles on his face stiffened, and he turned his head tremblingly, and pleaded in a low voice: "I, me, me."

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly stopped, and it turned out that the fat old man had not woken up, but was just talking in his sleep.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, sweating like pulp, and then touched his forehead, his head was full of cold sweat.

After standing in place for a long time, he wanted to turn around and open the door again, but for some reason, he didn't have half the strength in his hands, so he could only let out a long sigh, put down his shoes, uncovered the quilt, and fell asleep again.

What he didn't know was that after he lay down, a smile appeared on the face of the fat old man beside him.

Leaving the pine forest, Bai Cheng and Lin Su were still walking slowly towards the front mountain in the night.

As he walked, Bai Cheng suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Lin, the younger brother has something to ask for." ”

Lin Su has been by Bai Cheng's side these days, knowing that he is resolute, although he has experienced many hardships and dangers, but he has never opened his mouth to beg for someone, at this time, he suddenly heard him say the word "begging", his face couldn't help but change, and said: "You and my brother, what else do you say to ask for words." ”

Bai Cheng sighed and said, "Brother Lin, although you haven't made it clear. But the younger brother knew in his heart that you were willing to wait for me in Qingyang Mansion for another reason, not to catch me back to Wudou Midao. ”

Lin Su was still stunned, opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Bai Cheng continued: "Although the younger brother has known Brother Lin for a short time, he knows that the eldest brother has always been informal, and he swears an empty oath, but he is afraid that he will not be able to stop the footsteps of the eldest brother, and he dares to guess that Brother Lin has another purpose for following the younger brother. ”

Lin Su also sighed and said, "I have no ill will towards my brother. ”

Bai Cheng said: "Brother Lin has taken great care of the younger brother along the way. Otherwise, Brother Lin's skills are unpredictable, and if he really had malicious intentions towards his younger brother, I wouldn't be alive today. It's just that I really don't know why Brother Lin is following me. ”

Lin Su was silent for a while, and said, "Last time in the Jinsha River, Senior Brother released a water dragon to seriously injure you, which was actually not his intention. He also regretted it afterwards and should not have dealt you hard before the matter was clarified, and he should have apologized to you in person. It's just that as a senior brother, he still has affairs to deal with, and he can't stay in Qingyang Mansion for a long time. I took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Qingyang Mansion and apologize to you on his behalf. ”

Bai Cheng said: "Don't make a move, don't let it go, Mr. Jin is too polite." ”

Lin Su also continued: "It was only after seeing my brother that I found out that you were injured more seriously than I thought, although I don't know how to recover well, but you hurt the foundation." I know that this matter can't be revealed with a few words, so I took advantage of the situation to stay by your side, planning to find an opportunity to repay this favor for my senior brother. ”

Bai Cheng said: "Mr. Jin is glorious, Brother Lin's conscience is hard, and the younger brother admires it very much, but this matter is not Mr. Jin's fault, and Brother Lin really doesn't have to stay by my side." ”

Lin Su also said: "Cultivators, everything must be worthy of their hearts, and this matter is always to give you an explanation. Let's not talk about this for a while, why did you suddenly find out about it?"

Bai Cheng said: "Little brother has one thing that needs to be borrowed from Brother Lin, and he didn't dare to bring it up without knowing Brother Lin's attitude. ”

Lin Su also said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Bai Cheng said: "I don't know if the eldest brother has brought a life-seeking plate?"

Lin Su also smiled: "The guy who eats has always carried it with him. ”

Bai Cheng said: "In this case, please bring the life search plate with me, and follow me to find out all the thieves hidden in the mountains." ”

Lin Su also frowned, and said: "My life-seeking plate can only check the place within a radius of three or four miles, and this Taiyi Mountain is a hundred miles away, I'm just afraid."

Bai Cheng interjected and smiled: "Taiyi Mountain is more than a hundred miles in radius, but we don't need to look for them all, we only need to go to a few places." ”

Lin Su also asked, "Do you know the place?" and immediately reacted, "Is this the place that the old man said just now?"

Bai Cheng said, "Not bad. ”

Lin Su was still dumbfounded, and said, "His old man is just a cook, how can he know these things?"

Bai Cheng sighed and said: "Taiyi Mountain is deserted for a hundred miles, hiding in this place and still wanting to eat, you can only go to the back kitchen through Neiying, he has been in charge of the back kitchen for decades, how can he not know how many more people there are?"

Lin Su also asked, "Even if he knows how many more people there are, how can he know where these people are?"

Bai Cheng said: "You have to use dishes and chopsticks to eat, he only needs to look at the degree of solidification of the oil stains on the dishes and chopsticks, he knows how much distance there is, although Taiyi Mountain is big, there are not many places to hide people, and a little calculation will know where these people are hiding." ”

Lin Su also sighed: "I see, I see, brother, I really have a long experience." ”
