At dawn, Li Ji had not returned. Xia Bai went to check in his father's room, but Xia Shiyu did not come back, and the bowl of chicken soup was placed on the table untouched.

What are these two guys doing?

Suddenly, I heard the noisy footsteps outside, as if the Flying Snow Gang was running back and forth, and I heard someone shouting: "Something's wrong, there's an accident!"

Xia Bai walked out of the courtyard quickly, and saw several gangsters talking to each other in the field.

She stepped forward and asked a leader-looking person, "This big brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing that it was Xia Bai, the leader hurriedly gave a salute and said, "I just heard the news, last night, there was a shocking case in our town, several rich families were wiped out, and more than 40 people died. ”

Xia Bai said: "Is it a robber who committed the crime?

The leader said, "No, it's not a robber, and these families have lost no money or goods." The perpetrators are likely to seek revenge. I heard that there was a two martial artists of the Xue family, whose hearts were taken out, and the murderer shot cleanly and neatly, and his martial arts were extremely high. ”

Xia Bai's heart jumped, and his face gradually turned pale.

She froze and asked, "What are the names of the two martial artists of the Xue family?"

The leader said: "Those two martial artists are also well-known in our Baili Town, one is called Feng Yidao, and the other is called Hua Tianrong. I heard that they were seriously injured yesterday when they were fighting with people in the street. Oh, by the way, I heard that it was a child who injured them, alas, a young man with such ability, how could he be the son of an ordinary family, and perhaps the teacher of the other family was angry and destroyed them all. ”

Xia Bai reluctantly smiled and said, "Yes! A person with a family and a good mouth can't easily make enemies with others. That one...... You guys...... Have you seen me and my father?"

The leader said, "Mr. Li and Mr. Xia? I've also just changed shifts. Did they go out early in the morning?"

Xia Bai shook his head and returned to the courtyard without belonging.

This sitting is half an hour. Finally, the familiar sound of footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.

Li Ji came back, still holding two large jars of wine.

Xia Bai looked at him and said, "You...... Why are you going, going out in the middle of the night?"

Li Ji smiled and put the wine jar on the table, and the wine jar was well sealed with mud.

He said: "I chatted with you last night, when it comes to osmanthus wine, the more I think about it, the more greedy I am, Zhenxi Wu shopkeeper tavern has authentic Jiangnan osmanthus wine, and his shop is open all night, I couldn't help but get up, so I went to his tavern and bought these two jars of wine." ”

Xia Bai's eyes widened and he said, "Just to be hungry for wine, you ran to buy wine in the middle of the night? I really convinced you! However, even if you buy wine, it won't take so long, where did you go?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "I went to Lao Wu Tavern, there were no customers in his shop, so Lao Wu was pouring himself a drink, and he drank this osmanthus wine." I couldn't help it, so I also asked for three catties, added a few pickled vegetables, and drank and chatted with him, and before I knew it, the sky was dawning. ”

When he spoke, Xia Bai smelled that there was still a slight smell of wine in his mouth, and snorted: "You said before that Lao Wu is also from Jiangnan, and sure enough, he met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and the two drunkards must be very happy when they drink." ”

Li Ji said: "It's not bad! Old Wu is also very good." Originally, he didn't sell these wines, but only kept them for himself to drink, and seeing that I was a fellow countryman, and I could talk about it, he cut off his love and sold me two jars. ”

Xia Bai looked at his expression and saw that he was doing as usual, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

I only heard Li Ji say again: "There is another matter." On the way back just now, I saw a lot of officials and officials hurrying to the east of the town. This inquiry, hey! It's amazing, several families in Baili Town have been washed in blood, all over the house have been beheaded, and some people have even had their hearts gouged out! It's terrible, it's terrible! I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Baili Town, and the government is busy now. ”

He patted the two jars of wine, and said: "I wanted to go and see the excitement, but it was inconvenient to hold the wine jar, and I was afraid that you would be worried, so I had to come back first." Listening to the discussion of the gang in the Feixue Gang, the few families who were killed turned out to be ......" He lowered his voice and said, "It seems to be the group of young people who fought with Long Yan yesterday." ”

Xia Bai nodded and said, "I've asked Brother Bangli, and it's similar to what you said. ”

Li Ji's eyes widened and said, "You know everything? Then I won't say it in vain? I still want to see you surprised! But then again, this thing is really a coincidence, Long Yan fought with people yesterday, and today those people were all killed, who did this?"

Xia Bai looked at him and said, "You have this ability, you can't do it, right?"

Li Ji's eyes widened and he said, "You...... I really wanted to beat up those two martial artists, but I didn't want to kill them, let alone kill people, am I that kind of person?"

Xia Bai sighed and said, "Okay, I believe you, you are not that kind of person, you can't do this kind of thing." It's just that this matter is too strange, and I always ...... in my heart."

She glanced at her father's door, and her face was worried.

Li Ji said: "What are you worried about? It's not our doing! With the virtue of those people, it is only a matter of time before they will be punished. I guess they offended someone before, and they were invited to clear the scene, but it was just a coincidence. Where's your father? Invite him out and let him taste this authentic Jiangnan osmanthus wine. He has been here for so many days, but he is afraid that he will not be used to drinking the spirits of the north, and only me, a good son-in-law, is worried about changing his taste. ”

Xia Bai shook his head and said, "I'm worried about this! Daddy didn't come back overnight, and I don't know where he went." ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you come back all night?" He went out with Gang Master Sun yesterday, what did he do?"

The two guessed for a long time, but they didn't know what to do.

Fei Xue helped two maids come in to serve breakfast, carrying two large trays, which were mutton pot sticker dumplings, fried beef patties, crispy fried scallion oil pancakes, shrimp stewed noodles, poached eggs in sugar water, and sweet juices of vegetables and fruits.

Although Li Ji had a supper, he still couldn't help but have a great appetite when he saw these foods. He sat down, picked up chopsticks, sandwiched two mutton dumplings for Xia Bai, put another one into his mouth, chewed a few bites, and praised repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious! Feixue Gang Chef's skills are really good!"

Xia Bai frowned, reluctantly ate two dumplings, stewed noodles with chopsticks, drank a cup of sweet juice, and stopped eating.

Seeing his expression, Li Ji shook his head and said, "I said, what are you worried about? ”

Xia Bai sighed and said, "I'm worried that his martial arts are too high, and I'm afraid that others will make mistakes and do something terrible." ”

Li Jileng paused for a moment, suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that you are worried that your father will kill someone! Don't worry, our father will not! He is not that kind of person." ”

Xia Bai said: "Of course I know. But now that he is old, it is difficult to say what his heart is. I think back to when he went out last night, he didn't look good, and I was afraid that he would find those families because of the dragon smoke. ”

Li Ji thought for a while and said: "If you say that you can find someone to settle accounts and beat those two martial artists, it is possible, but Daddy will never kill people." Besides, even if your father kills someone, when did he take out someone's heart? That's not his old man's habit. This kind of bloody and dirty thing has always been taboo for him. ”

Xia Bai said: "That...... It's hard to say, yesterday Long Yan received a heavy blow to the martial artist surnamed Feng in the chest, maybe Daddy will also return a tooth for a tooth, and give that Feng martial artist the same way. ”

Li Ji frowned and said: "This is the same as I thought, I originally planned to give the man surnamed Feng a slap in the chest, not to kill him, but to let him taste the power of the Li family's palm." Still, Daddy...... It should still not kill. At this point, the tone was also a little hesitant.

Xia Bai said angrily: "You are a person who has no idea, I thought that you would comfort me and refute every doubt I had, but even you yourself can't make up your mind!"

Li Ji was stunned, unconsciously chewed the dumplings that had just been stuffed into his mouth, and said, "I...... What's wrong with me?" he tried to swallow the dumplings, and said, "You have wronged the dead, and I don't know if our father did it or not, I just speculate as usual, our father would not do such a thing." ”

Xia Bai said angrily: "Okay, okay, you can eat your dumplings!"

Li Ji rolled his eyelids and looked helpless. He hadn't eaten enough yet, and he wanted to eat more, but seeing that Xia Bai was unhappy, he didn't want to eat too happily. He picked up a piece of scallion oil cracker and wanted to put it in his mouth, but he felt that this thing was too loud to chew, Xia Bai was afraid that he would be even more unhappy when he heard it, so he changed a chopstick stewed noodles, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it quietly.

When Xia Bai saw him like this, he was angry and funny; when he thought of his father, he was troubled, and he was unsatisfactory. She stood up and said, "I'm going to call Long Yan to get up and eat." ”

Just two steps away, the door of the West Wing House opened, and Li Longyan came out with a water cup. He grunted and spat in the pool in the courtyard. After looking at the table full of breakfast, he said happily: "Hey, it's so hearty to be early today!"

Xia Bai said: "Come here, let me see your injuries." ”

Li Longyan said: "It's already much better. Walking over and unbuttoning the placket on their chests, Xia Bai and Li Ji saw that most of the blackness had been eliminated, and it was really much better.

Seeing that his grandfather was not there, Li Longyan asked, "Grandpa hasn't gotten up yet?" If you don't eat these early, it will be cold." ”

The couple glanced at each other, and Li Ji said, "Grandpa and Grandpa Sun have something to do when they go out, you can eat first." ”

Xia Bai remembered that there was still half a pot of chicken soup boiled last night, so she went to Xia Shiyu's room to bring out the bowl of chicken soup, went into the kitchen, poured the chicken soup into the original pot, and reheated it.

Li Ji had breakfast with his son, and suddenly felt much more relaxed, he picked up the scallion oil pancake, munched on it, and said: "Son, tell you one thing, the group of boys who fought with you yesterday were all beheaded at night and all died!"

Li Longyan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, right? Who did this?"

Li Ji said: "Where do I know?" Most of the murderers are angry for you, what expert friends do you have?"

Li Longyan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "How can I have such a friend, Wang San and Cui Wu don't know any martial arts." ”

Li Ji said: "I think so, you have only been in Baili Town for a few days, who can you know, let alone such a master." That's weird. He thought to himself, could it really be that his father-in-law had itchy hands?
