Su Qing saw the heavy mahogany door closed, walked up the stone steps and comforted Lu Sanchuan: "Zhang Ge has retired to the rivers and lakes for some years, and now he should live a plain and harmonious life. For those who have experienced bloody storms, stability is the most desired. In that case, let's go and ask the others first. ”

Lu Sanchuan knew in his heart that based on the current situation, it was most likely that Zhang Ge and Liu Qiang belonged to him, and Liu Qiang had come out of the bamboo forest, and his whereabouts were uncertain, so he naturally couldn't find them. Although Zhang Ge was close at hand, he couldn't see it.

He walked down the stone steps silently, looked left and right, and saw that the wall was only more than a foot high, and secretly thought: If I sneak in at night, it is not impossible, but in this case, how can I explain my intentions? Besides, with the high martial arts of Zhang's predecessors, if I am regarded as an intrusion thief and forced with all my might, how should I deal with it?

His eyes were blank, his eyes quickly turned left and right, and he really couldn't think of a way, so he had to say: "It's not early, let's go to Shiyan first, and then make plans." ”

The two turned over and got on their horses.

Lu Sanchuan rode on the back of the horse, staring at the fluttering mane on the horse's neck, thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly stopped his horse and turned his head to look at the short Dongli Villa.

Su Qing also stopped, looked at him and wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sanchuan's expression was serious, his eyes did not blink, as if he was making a difficult decision, "Miss Su, please go to Shiyan alone to rest first, and when I find out, I will go to you." ”

Su Qing said: "But when you knocked on the door..."

Lu Sanchuan didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he drew out his long sword, and pointed a sword at his chest, and blood splashed everywhere.

Su Qing screamed, as if the sword was cutting into him. She loosened the reins with both hands, stretched out her ten fingers and grabbed Lu Sanchuan, "What are you doing!"

Lu Sanchuan didn't answer, endured the pain, threw the long sword aside, leaned over the horse's back, and the blood flowed down the saddle. He kicked on his heel and drove his horse towards the East Fence Villa.

Su Qing finally understood his thoughts, although his heart was like a knife, and his tears were also murmuring, but since he had such intentions, he couldn't stop it, so he had to get off the horse, pick up the long sword that was discarded by Lu Sanchuan, pull some hay to wipe off the blood stains on the blade, insert the sword back into the sheath, get on the horse and leave.

Lu Sanchuan is also ruthless to himself, and that sword will almost hurt his internal organs, but if he doesn't do it realistically, it may be difficult to make Zhang Ge believe it.

The horse carried him to the gate of the East Fence Villa, and at that time he was already weak, and struggled to dismount, but his left foot was not very hooked in the saddle, and the whole man was like a rotten log, and fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately the ground was a soft soil, and it was not very painful to fall on the ground.

He used his hands and feet at the same time, slowly climbed up the stone steps, exerted his last breath, and finally came to the front of the main door, raised his hand and was about to tap the door, but he lost his strength, his right hand fell, and he slammed on the threshold with a soft sound.

The child was sweeping the floor in the front yard, and when he heard the slight noise, he thought it was an illusion, so he ignored it and continued to sweep the floor.

When the door was opened, the child let out a scream.

Zhang Ge's daughter, Zhang Minxi, was playing chess with Xu Bu in the backyard, and when she heard the exclamation, she immediately threw herself into light work, came to the door in three or two steps, and held the child in her arms, "Jia Le, what's wrong?"

Jia Le hid in Zhang Minxi's arms and shivered, raised his hand, and pointed out the door.

Coco Zhang looked up and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Lu Sanchuan lay outside the door, not knowing life and death. On the originally gray ground, a bloody path suddenly appeared.

Xu Buyi had already arrived, and when he saw this scene, he immediately understood: the person who passed out was probably retaliated against, and although he escaped by chance, he was seriously injured. The horse had brought him here for some reason. When he fell from his horse, he finally had some sense, and when he saw a house, he wanted to come and call for help, but he was so injured that he fainted before anyone could do it.

Coco Zhang was busy: "I don't know brother, take this person to the East Chamber, I'll inform my father!"

Xu didn't know that he had always obeyed her, so he immediately picked up Lu Sanchuan and went straight to the East Chamber.

Although Knorr is a four-foot child, he is also sensible, took a few breaths, wiped away his tears and snot, ran to the utility room to get a bucket and a mop, and cleaned up the blood stains in front of the door.

Since Zhang Ge retired, although he occasionally practiced swordsmanship or cultivated internal strength, he had the right to rest and recuperate, and he no longer competed for fame and fortune as before. Most of the time, he is in the study, or read the Four Books and Five Classics, so as to teach the knowledge of Jiale Taoism, or learn the art of flowers and tea.

Zhang Wenxi knew Zhang Ge's habits, rushed straight into the study, came to the table and grabbed Zhang Ge's sleeve, and said with a worried expression: "Dad, someone... Someone..."

When a guest came to visit, Zhang Ge still held the book and sat upright, "Didn't I tell you, if there is a visitor, just say that I went to Fujian to meet the guest, and I did not explain the return date." ”

Zhang Wenxi shook off his hand, stomped his foot, and said: "No! Someone was seriously injured and fainted at the door! I asked my brother to take him to the East Chamber, you go and see!"

"What?" Zhang Ge frowned, put down the book and hurried to the east chamber.

Xu didn't know that he had put Lu Sanchuan on the bed, but he didn't know what to do next, so he just stood by the bed, waiting for Zhang Ge, and after a while, Zhang Ge entered the house, glanced at Xu Ming, and ordered: "I don't know!

Xu didn't know the order, turned around and walked out of the house, only to cross the threshold, and saw Zhang Minxi coming head-on. He smiled slightly, and was about to say hello to Coco Zhang, but Coco Zhang passed by him as if he were ignoring it. Although he was a little disappointed, he just sighed lightly and quickened his steps to the kitchen.

Zhang Ge never opened his mouth to inquire until Lu Sanchuan's injuries were treated, and then he went to clean the blood stains on his hands, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

There were only Zhang Minxi and Xu Bubu in the room, and they all shook their heads.

Coco Zhang said: "I rushed to the door when I heard the call of Jia Le, and I saw this person lying outside the door at that time. ”

"Jia Le?" Zhang Ge looked up at Zhang Minxi, "Go find him." ”

Coco Zhang responded with a "okay", and strode out of the door with both hands.

Xu didn't know that his eyes followed Zhang Minxi, until Zhang Minxi walked out of the door, and he was still reluctant to leave.

Xu Buzhi is the son of Zhang Geyi's brother Xu Wencai, when Xu Buzhi was seven years old, Xu Wencai unfortunately passed away, Zhang Ge took Xu Buzhi back home, and made a partner with the three-year-old Zhang Minxi. It's been twelve years now.

How could Zhang Ge not understand Xu Bu's inner thoughts? Seeing him looking at the door stupidly, he said to him with a smile: "I don't know, I regret such a willful and good thing, and you will suffer in the future." ”

Xu Buyi naturally understood the meaning of Zhang Ge's words, and immediately came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly.

Coco Zhang found Jia Le, put her hands on Jia Le's shoulders, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Daddy wants to ask you, that is, about the person who fell at the door, you have to tell the truth." Don't be afraid, you know Daddy loves you. ”

Jia Le said "um", remembering what he saw when he opened the door, he still had palpitations, but he was still relieved to have Coco Zhang by his side. He followed Coco Zhang and entered the East Chamber.

Zhang Ge sat on the edge of the bed, his left hand and two fingers on Lu Sanchuan's vein, his eyebrows locked, obviously there was something wrong. When he saw Coco Zhang and Jia Le entering the house, he didn't think much about it, put Lu Sanchuan's hand back in the quilt, and waved to Jia Le.

Jia Le is the only person with a foreign surname and the only domestic helper. Despite this, Zhang Ge has always regarded him as flesh and blood, just let him do some light work, and after tea and dinner, he also taught him to read and practice martial arts.

In the eyes of Jia Le, Zhang Ge is as gentle and kind as his father. When he saw Zhang Ge waving to him, his worries disappeared immediately, and he ran to Zhang Ge's side in three or two steps, and shouted "Master" respectfully.

Zhang Ge stroked his head with a smile, looked at Lu Sanchuan who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and asked, "Tell me about this person." ”

Jia Le nodded, and was about to speak, glancing at Lu Sanchuan, but couldn't help but say "Huh?"

Zhang Ge said: "What's wrong?"

Jia Le raised his hand to Lu Sanchuan and replied, "I have seen this person." Not long ago, he knocked on the door and said that he wanted to see the master, but why did he suddenly faint from serious injuries?"

Zhang Ge's eyebrows tightened, and he immediately knew the roughly: I just took the pulse of this person, although this person's pulse was weak, it couldn't hide the torrential internal force in the body. But I saw that this person was young, with tender skin and thin fat, and he did not look like a martial arts practitioner at all. But Jia Le categorically does not lie, according to what he said, this person must be a person in the rivers and lakes, who asked for me but couldn't see me, so he wielded a knife and harmed himself in desperation.

Zhang Wenxi was not as thoughtful as Zhang Ge, and after listening to Jia Le's few words, he immediately decided that Lu Sanchuan was not coming from the right way, and hurriedly said: "Dad, maybe this person is not a good thing, let's leave him alone, throw him outside, and let him fend for himself." ”

Zhang Ge glanced at Xu Bu and asked, "I don't know, what do you think?"

Xu Buzhi looked at Zhang Minxi, and when he saw that Zhang Minxi was also looking at him, he suddenly trembled, lowered his head and said softly: "I think Sister Minxi's words are very reasonable." ”

Coco Zhang jumped up and down, obviously very satisfied, and shouted: "Dad, look, I don't know that my brother thinks so too! Let's throw him out quickly!"

Although Zhang Ge has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, his heart of benevolence and righteousness is still there, and seeing that Lu Sanchuan was injured and closed his eyes, it is naturally impossible to throw him in the wilderness. He closed his eyes and sighed, and said to Zhang Minxi: "How does Dad usually teach you." ”

Coco Zhang immediately stopped down, pouted, and said the four must not be one by one, "You must not see death without help, you must not bully the weak, you must not be untrustworthy, and you must not be deceived and deceived." ”

Zhang Ge said: "It's good to know, you guys go out first, I'll stay here, and when he wakes up, I'll ask everything clearly." ”

Coco Zhang let out an "oh", lowered his head, and ran out of the door extremely unwillingly.

Xu Buzhi also hurriedly followed, seeing that Coco Zhang took a big step, knowing that she was very unhappy, he didn't dare to speak, just followed silently.

When he arrived in the backyard, Zhang Minxi turned around sharply and shouted at Xu Zhizhi: "I don't know brother, how did you do it!

Xu didn't know that he was not good at talking, and when she scolded him like this, he didn't know what to do, and his tongue seemed to be knotted, "I... I... I..."

"Hmph. Coco Zhang snorted heavily, walked under the old tree, and sat on the swing.

Xu didn't know how to hurry over, grabbed the back of the swing chair, and gently pushed it.
