Chapter 183: A Promise

When I arrived in the town, I asked Zheng Changqing's home where it was, passers-by had heard of Zheng Changqing's bad name, but the people who knew that his family lived there did not, and asked more than ten people, only one of them took him to turn left and right, and came to a dilapidated house in a narrow alley to ask, only to see that the walls had collapsed, the tiles were scattered, and from the broken window to the inside, it was full of weeds, and it was obvious that no one had lived in it for many years.

The passer-by said: "Zheng Changqing moved out four or five years ago, leaving this dilapidated house here and no one to take care of it. Li Yihang asked: "Do you know where he moved there?" Passers-by shook their heads, Li Yihang thanked him, and thought: "Zheng Changqing should still be in the town, he doesn't live at home, he must live in relatives, friends or inns, look at his well-dressed appearance, it is estimated that he has made a fortune, and the place where he lives will not be too bad." ”

At the moment, he went to the two slightly larger inns in the town to look for it, and they all said that he had not seen Zheng Changqing come to invest in the store, Li Yihang had no choice but to ask if he had seen Zheng Changqing when he met people on the street, everyone shook their heads and shook their heads, and they were busy for a long time to no avail, and they said that he might have made a special trip back to visit his father, and after reading it, he left, so he had to return to Changyuan Town dejectedly.

A few days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zhanpeng led the villagers to Li Yihang's house for the holiday, everyone talked about the past, they were all embarrassed, everyone didn't want to mention the fire that night, but somehow, chatting and chatting, they turned back to this matter, and in the past few years, everyone has expressed their opinions.

Everyone was talking loudly, and a fourteen or fifteen little boy also said: "Brother Yihang, on the night of the fire in your house, I just got up to put the thatch, and suddenly saw a person on the street, stumbling from the direction of your house, only to see that the clothes on his back were on fire, but he didn't go to extinguish it, he was very panicked, I didn't know that there was a fire in your house at that time, I was very surprised to see him like this, so I was very impressed." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, and Li Yihang hurriedly asked: "Xiaobao, have you seen what that person looks like, how tall and short, fat and thin?" The Xiaobao said: "On the big night, I can't see clearly, a very thin person, who looks like a young man." Li Zhanpeng asked: "Xiaobao, why didn't you say it at that time?" Xiaobao said: "No one came to ask me, you were all very busy at that time, and no one listened to what you said." This is a very important clue, Li Yihang was quite excited, and asked: "Is his back on fire?" Xiaobao said: "Yes, absolutely not mistaken, I still thought to myself: 'Why doesn't he extinguish it when he catches fire, isn't he afraid of pain?'"

A neighbor said: "The weather is still very hot before the Mid-Autumn Festival, that person must be wearing the same as we are now, just a single coat, since it is on fire, then there will definitely be a scar on the back, Yihang, you will find a suspect in the future, as long as you see whether there are fire scars on his back, you can lock the real murderer." Li Zhanpeng's old father and son said: "Yes, this person walked in such a hurry, he must have done something heinous, he was afraid of being discovered, and ran away in a hurry, so that he didn't even have time to extinguish the fire." Everyone agreed in unison, saying, "Yes, it must be so." ”

Li Yihang sent everyone away, lay on the ground mat and looked at the bright moon in the sky, thinking: "Xiaobao said that the person is a young man, Zheng Changqing's son is in his twenties, so it coincides, but a young person, how can he have such a strong internal force to kill people without seeing blood, this is very contradictory, it is really a headache." I thought again: "Zheng Changqing's move happened in the days before and after my family was wiped out, which is really full of all kinds of suspiciousness." He thought again: "If it was really his son's doing, Zheng Changqing couldn't be so bold and dare to come back and appear in front of everyone, wouldn't that be causing trouble himself?"

Just thinking about it, someone suddenly shouted softly: "Brother Yihang," it was a woman's voice, Li Yihang quickly stood up and looked, only to see a delicate face poking out from behind the corner, two big eyes and bones were spinning, Li Yihang could see clearly under the moonlight, and shouted happily: "Xiaoqian, it's you!" The girl was his childhood playmate Chen Qian, Chen Qian said: "Brother Yihang, it's me." Li Yihang said: "Xiaoqian, come into the house and sit down and eat some candy." Chen Qian said: "I'm not going in, Brother Yihang, let's go out for a walk." Li Yihang said: "Okay!"

Came to a hillside that used to come often, the two sat silently, as if they didn't know each other, one looked at the woods, the other still looked at the moon, after a long time, Xiao Qian said softly: "Where have you been in the past few years?" Li Yihang said: "I went to find the enemy." Xiao Qian asked: "Have you found it?" Li Yihang said: "Not yet, Xiao Qian, how are you lately, I haven't heard from you for a long time." Xiaoqian didn't answer, biting her lip, Li Yihang looked at her, only to see her eyelashes curling up like a curtain, her face was much thinner than before, and after a while, I just heard her say: "It's nothing, it's still the same as before, Brother Yihang, when you come back this time, do you plan to stay at home for a long time and don't go out anymore?"

Li Yihang sighed and said: "Who doesn't want to live a stable life, but I haven't avenged my revenge, so dare to have such extravagant hopes, live for a few days, I plan to go out again to see if I can find the slightest clue." Xiao Qian said: "Then when will you come back?" Li Yihang lowered his head and wrote with his fingers, and said: "I don't know when I will come back, and I don't know if I will come back." ”

Xiao Qian was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Brother Yihang, my father wants to marry me to a family in Nanchang City, but I have never agreed. How could Li Yihang not understand, but at this time, what promises could he give her, and what hope could he give her? In the four years of the rivers and lakes, he has countless scars on his body, and he will see the king of Hades several times, and the days to come will be more dangerous and unpredictable, the more and more martial arts are practiced, and the dangers she faces are more and more, let her wait to follow her, which will undoubtedly make her frightened all day long, and she will not only be able to give her happiness, but also may bring her into the abyss of pain, no, she must not harm her!

Xiao Qian's eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his answer, Li Yihang didn't dare to look at her, and finally thought that he couldn't deal with it in silence, so he mustered up the courage at the moment and said with a heart: "Xiao Qian, I can't give you a future, I can't give you happiness, you, you don't have to wait for me, when you meet someone with good conditions, you will ......" Before the sentence was finished, tears welled up in Xiao Qian's eyes, and a drop fell on the soil, and said poignantly: " I don't want the future, I don't want to be happy, as long as you make a promise, if you don't come back, I will wait for you for the rest of my life, and if you die, I don't want to live alone. ”

Li Yihang listened to this earth-shattering words, couldn't help but be shocked, but also greatly moved, I didn't expect Xiaoqian to be so affectionate for herself, she left home for four years, rarely thought of her, went home for more than ten days, although there was also a plan to see her, but in the end did not take action, to see her to find herself, is already deeply uneasy, now listening to her words, not only ashamed, but also excited, looking at her slightly trembling shoulders, how much he wants to twist her into his arms, but he can't do this, can't ruin the happiness of this kind and beautiful girl for a lifetime。
