Hanzhou, known as the city in ancient times, has "the key canal of Shu Province, the hole of the Beijing" since ancient times, and the Sanxingdui ruins of the famous Yaoer are located in its territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hanzhou Rice Market is five miles away in the western suburbs of the city, and after arriving at the rice market, the largest and best location of Xu's Rice Market, of course, is easy to find.

In the afternoon, the sky changed abruptly, and the clouds were tumbling with thunder, and bursts of dazzling lightning pierced the sky, and in a short time, the rain poured down, washing away the pedestrians in the market.

A long-bodied young man braved the wind and rain, strode casually, stopped in front of Xu's rice line, looked up at the eye-catching signboard with gold letters on a black background through the heavy rain curtain, looked happy, and muttered: "It's really easy to find, it's here!"

He stepped forward quickly, reached out and clasped the knocker of the closed door, then wiped the rain from his head and face, and stood quietly under the eaves of the door. After a long while, no one came to open the door, so I strengthened my hand and knocked a few more times.

With a sound of "Ahh

"This little brother, I'm disturbed!" the young man arched his hand, "In Xia Shen Lingxiao, may I ask if Mrs. Zhu and her party have arrived?"

"Oh, it turned out to be Shen Shaoxia!Please come in!Please come in!" It seemed that the guy had already known his intention, and he smiled and asked each other.

Shen Lingxiao nodded, twisted the hem of his wet robe, and walked into the door quickly.

The guy looked out of the door into the torrential rain, and asked suspiciously, "Shen Shaoxia, sir, are they...... Didn't I come with you?"

"Well, I'm alone. Shen Lingxiao's face was grim, "Please lead the way, I want to see them." ”

Shen Lingxiao held the oil-paper umbrella given by the guy, and silently followed him into the courtyard that had been washed clean by the heavy rain, on both sides of the courtyard were warehouses stockpiling all kinds of rice, and the blue brick house with two simple log pillars in front of the door was opposite, and the door was open, which seemed to be housing.

"Old lady, master, Mrs. Fang, Yin Daxia, Shen Shaoxia is here!" the guy shouted as he walked briskly.

As soon as the words fell, a group of people quickly poured out of the gate, waiting under the dripping eaves.

Yin Tianjin braved the rain and came out of the crowd, stepped forward and shook Shen Lingxiao's hands with both hands, and said happily: "Senior Brother Shen, you are here!" The probe looked behind him and asked in amazement: "What about the head and the owner?"

Shen Lingxiao stopped and glanced at him, then quickly glanced at the row of happy and doubtful eyes under the dripping eaves, sighed, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the door.

When everyone saw that he was drenched as if he had just climbed up from the water, his robe was tattered, and his expression was abrupt, and a sense of foreboding arose.

A twenty-seven or eight-year-old blue-robed fat young man greeted him, arched his hand and said, "Under Xu Liangshan." Shen Shaoxia has worked hard all the way, please come in!" he said, affectionately pulling his sleeve and inviting him to a pear wood chair in the hall, and let him sit down and rest.

Shen Lingxiao refused to sit down, waved his hand and said, "I'm wet, just stand!"

"Xu Qing, quickly find a brand new robe and take Shen Shaoxia to change clothes!" Xu Liangshan hurriedly turned around and ordered the guy.

"Don't ...... Brother Xu, don't worry about it!I'll do it after wearing it for a while!" Shen Lingxiao excused.

"Alas, Shen Shaoxia, you just look down on me like this!" Xu Liangshan feigned anger.

Shen Lingxiao couldn't refuse, so he had to change his clothes.

He had never worn a brocade robe in his life, and felt that although the brocade robe on his body was silky and smooth, the waist was too large, and the length was not enough to measure, which was far less comfortable than the coarse sermon robe he wore on weekdays.

"It's really spiritual! It's so handsome!" Miss Zhu looked at the effect of the robe she had sewn by herself on him, which was very different from the effect on her husband, and admired it in her heart.

After frowning and glancing at her husband, she quietly stared at Shen Lingxiao for a moment, and sighed in her heart: "If you can marry such a gentleman in this life, you will die immediately, but you will be willing......! Hey, I really shouldn't have listened to my father's arrangement and mistakenly married this ruthless and unrighteous ugly monster Xu Liangshan who was full of money and only had money in his head......"

From the perspective of a bystander, from the bottom of his heart, Xu Liangshan is not really unworthy of Miss Zhu. Although he is a little fatter, his facial features are not ugly, and he is a good match for Miss Zhu, who is usually beautiful and slightly plump. In fact, Zhu Dongfan is also very discerning, since he handed over the business here to this beloved son-in-law, he has done a good job.

"Tea!" Xu Liangshan's shout interrupted Miss Zhu's reverie.

"It's so gentle and elegant, and it's lovely...... Ah, even drinking tea is so handsome!" Miss Zhu sighed in her heart.

In fact, Shen Lingxiao, who was already hungry and thirsty, drank that bowl of tea in one go, how could there be any elegance at all?

Mrs. Zhu approached lightly and asked timidly, "Shen Shaoxia, when will they arrive?"

Shen Lingxiao hurriedly stood up, grabbed her sleeves with both hands, and said softly: "Madame......'s condolences! It's already dead!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Zhu was stunned when she heard this, her face turned pale, she closed her eyes and was about to fall soft, Shen Lingxiao and Xu Liangshan hurriedly supported her.

There was a "bang", followed by the cry of a child.

Shen Lingxiao turned his head to look, but saw Shuzhen fall to the ground on her back, she had already fainted, and Rui'er, who was holding her, was hurting her hand and was struggling to sit up, crying.

Fang's mother and daughter next to her hurriedly leaned over, Fang Ru hugged Rui'er up, and Mrs. Fang held Shuzhen horizontally with one hand and pinched her with the other.

Everyone was busy for a while, Fang woke them up, and Xu Liangshan hurriedly ordered several family members to send Mrs. Zhu and Shuzhen's mother and son back to the bedroom to rest.

Shen Lingxiao briefly described the situation of the decisive battle in the villa to Mrs. Fang's family and Yin Tianjin, but omitted the section on his assassination of Qiu Ling and the Sha brothers, and only said that everyone desperately protected him and Senior Brother Ling Kong and escaped, because Volley was injured, and he was afraid that no one would be able to escape after the enemy caught up, so he fostered him in a farmhouse.

Yin Tianjin was stunned to listen, and suddenly clenched his fists with a "gurgling" sound, and said with red eyes: "I shouldn't go! I should leave ......."

Mrs. Fang whimpered: "It's all because of us that so many people such as Senior Brother in Charge and Master Zhu Zhuang were killed...... With such kindness, how can the family of the slut repay it?!"

The Fang brothers and sisters supported their mother left and right, crying silently.

Along the way here, Shen Lingxiao has always felt guilty. He understood that the reason why he was able to escape from the village was because the master and the others exchanged their lives, and that the killing of Qiu Ling and the Sha brothers, and the luck of getting the antidote and surviving, was the blessing of the ancestors of Qingcheng and the gods of the master. It was only here that he suddenly realized his mission.

After a few days of great danger and grief, his mind has become calm and calm, and his nerves have become as tough as a steel wire.

"Since the incident has happened, it is useless to be sad and sad!" He patted Yin Tianjin's shoulder, then turned his head to look at Mrs. Fang's family of three, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we are all still alive!

Fang Ru's heart jumped inexplicably, feeling that as long as he was there, the treacherous escape road would no longer be so frightening, so he smiled and wiped away his tears.

"Brother Xu, I'm so hungry, can you find something to eat?" After a day's uneaten, Shen Lingxiao was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, so he was honestly unwelcome.

※※※

Three plates of delicious dishes carefully cooked by Miss Zhu herself, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, most of which were killed, and after eating three bowls of rice, Shen Lingxiao's spirit suddenly grew, and his thoughts became active.

"Senior Brother Yin, the enemy will not give up, we have to have a plan as soon as possible. Shen Lingxiao took a sip of tea and said to Yin Tianjin, who was sitting beside him.

"I also know that staying here is definitely not a long-term solution!" Yin Tianjin scratched his cheeks, "I originally wanted to meet you before making plans, but now, the head of the sect has been killed, and I have no idea for a while...... Senior Brother Shen, what do you think we should do next?"

Shen Lingxiao turned his head to look at Mrs. Fang, and saw that she and a pair of children were looking at him blankly, he sighed secretly in his heart, and still asked, "Auntie, do you have any good places to go?"

Mrs. Fang shook her head and asked, "What about you?"

"No!" Shen Lingxiao also shook his head.

Everyone was sad and the atmosphere was very depressing. Yin Tianjin frowned, his fingers lightly tapped on the coffee table table, trying his best to think.

Shen Lingxiao thought about it while breaking the dullness: "Qingcheng Mountain can't go back...... Chaotian Fort couldn't go back for a while...... Find an inn to live in, but it's okay for a short time, but it's not good for a long time......"

Mrs. Fang suddenly interrupted: "Senior nephew Shen, I have a lot of valuable things on me, even if it is a guest house, it will not be a problem for three years and five years!"

"Having said that, it's still not good!" Shen Lingxiao clasped his arms in his hands, "It's inconvenient not to say it, it's still very unsafe." Besides, the inn is full of people coming and going, and it is easy to be exposed. ”

"Senior Brother Shen, I think, it's better for us to find an inaccessible place to live in seclusion!" Fang Ru interjected.

"Yes, yes, it's better to be a sister!" Fang Yi agreed.

"This is a good solution, but where should we go?" Shen Lingxiao scratched his head.

"Just find a deep mountain and old forest and build a thatched hut!" Fang Ru was in the mood of a little girl, and she was excited when she thought of being able to get along with her family and her favorite Shen Lingxiao and the gentle Senior Brother Yin day and night.

"It's good," Yin Tianjin rubbed his nose, "It's just that that it will inevitably be isolated from the world, how can I find out the news of the master and Chaotian Castle?"

The crowd was silent.

"I think, it's better than this," Shen Lingxiao bit his lower lip, "Let's go to Kongtong Mountain!"

"Kongtong Mountain?" Yin Tianjin and Mrs. Fang were both stunned, "Why did you go so far?"

Shen Lingxiao said: "I want to tell Kongtong about the death of the head of Broken Hongzi first, and when this matter is over, we will find another way." Auntie, Senior Brother Yin, do you think well?"

Yin Tianjin bowed his head and said, "That's okay." ”

Mrs. Fang hesitated: "Can ...... The head of the Broken Rainbow Sect died because of our incident in Chaotianbao, if we go, what face will we have to deal with the Kongtong faction?...... I think if you want to go, you should go by yourself, and we will find another way. ”

Shen Lingxiao hurriedly said: "Auntie, now that the matter has come to this, do you think that face is important, or is life important?"

Mrs. Fang's face turned cold, and she said angrily: "I don't believe it in Bai Xiang, if I don't go to its Kongtong Mountain, I won't be able to save my life!"

Shen Lingxiao's face was embarrassed, knowing that he had spoken inappropriately, and said, "Auntie, this is definitely not what the little nephew meant...... The little nephew meant: The enemy has been planning for a long time, and he will not give up until he kills everything, and Aunt Yin and Senior Brother Yin are both important people in Chaotian Castle, how can they not be cautious?...... In today's situation, Shu is bound to be full of their eyes, and we naturally go as far as possible!"

Mrs. Fang sighed faintly, turned her head to look out the window, and her heart was as chaotic as the complicated rain.

"But teach me that Fang Yi still has a breath of air, and he will definitely find these thieves to take revenge!" Fang Yi suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth.

Shen Lingxiao grabbed his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, revenge, of course we have to take revenge! It's just that now we are alone, let alone going to kill the enemy chieftain, just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they will take our lives! You say, if we die in a daze like this, wouldn't it be too unworthy?"

Fang Yi swallowed his saliva hatefully and slowly sat back.

"So, we have to hide, to avoid this period of storms. Shen Lingxiao's expression was solemn, "But now, we have no good foothold in Shudi." Even if there is, it is easy to be discovered by the enemy, and it will affect other people's ...... Zhu's family is a good example, it's really guilty!"

"If we go to Kongtong, won't we be in trouble with others?" Madame Fang interjected.

Shen Lingxiao smiled and said: "Kongtong Mountain is far away, the enemy may not have so many manpower, and it is also widely spread over there;

Yin Tianjin's face relaxed, and he nodded: "Senior Brother Shen is right......! Master, I think it's up to Senior Brother Shen's idea!"

Mrs. Fang was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay! Tomorrow morning, let's go!"

"No, without further ado!" Shen Lingxiao shook his head and shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Later, I will ask Brother Xu to arrange dinner, and then leave!"

"Ah!" Fang Yi was not mentally prepared, and was very surprised when he heard this, "Senior Brother Shen, the heavy rain hasn't stopped yet, and it's getting dark, why are you in such a hurry?"

Shen Lingxiao said leisurely: "I have heard those heroes in the rivers and lakes say that the rainy night is full of joy and dripping! I have wanted to give it a try, junior brother, are you also interested in giving it a try?"

Fang Yi straightened his chest and said proudly: "Of course!"

Yin Tianjin looked at Shen Lingxiao's serious expression, then at Fang Yi's excited expression, and smiled silently.

Mrs. Zhu suffered because of her own family, and her husband was also tragically killed, and the other party's wife complained, claiming that she was not feeling well, and did not come out to see her off. Shuzhen originally wanted to follow them to Kongtong Mountain, but Mrs. Zhu sneered and said that she could go, but she had to leave the Zhu family's flesh and blood Rui'er. Shuzhen thought that she was originally a member of the Zhu family, and how could she give up her own flesh and blood, so she had to give up.

The Xu couple holding the umbrella and Shuzhen, who was holding Rui'er and wearing a robe, sent Mrs. Fang and her party out of the door, Xu Liangshan ordered Xu Qing to send a bag of silver taels, Mrs. Fang resolutely refused, he had to give up.

Shen Lingxiao took Xu Liangshan's hand and said sincerely: "Brother Xu, don't say much if you're polite." There is only one thing: I am afraid that the enemy will find this place sooner or later! This group of people is led by two strange guys, one tall and one short, and their methods are vicious, and you must be careful! If they do find them, you will insist that they have never seen us. ”

Xu Liangshan pretended to be casual and smiled: "Isn't there a royal law? Don't worry, on the border of Hanzhou, they don't dare to do anything wrong!"

Shen Lingxiao patted the back of his hand and admonished: "Be careful! Don't fight with them, it's important to protect yourself!"

Xu Liangshan's heart was cold, and he smiled forcefully: "Brother Shen, don't worry, I will take care of it." ”

Miss Zhu watched Shen Lingxiao about to get back on the horse, and wanted to seize the last opportunity to pull his hand and admonish him, glanced at the stern and disdainful gaze of her husband beside her, and hurriedly retracted her hand.

Shen Lingxiao saw Shuzhen's reluctant expression, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, touched Rui'er's little head, smiled and said gently: "Rui'er, listen to your mother!

Ruier hated being touched on his head the most, so she turned around and ignored him, and whispered in her mother's ear: "Mom, he's a bad person, let's ignore him!"

Shuzhen thought that Shen Lingxiao heard it, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, this kid is born, don't worry about it! Rui'er, Uncle Shen hugged you that night! Turn around and say goodbye to your uncle." ”

Rui'er turned around, but she just stared at Shen Lingxiao with a pair of dark eyes, but she didn't speak.

Shen Lingxiao smiled and said in a low voice, "Take care!" turned around and jumped on the horse.

The five men rode northward in their robes, and disappeared into the misty and rainy night after a while.

※※※

In the middle of the night, Xu Liangshan in the tent refused to fall asleep, so he had a few exquisite side dishes and drank most of the Jian Nanchun in the wine pot on the table.

"Master, the young grandmother hasn't slept yet! she asked me to advise you to drink less wine and go to bed earlier. A girl who looked like a maid appeared at the door of the tent and said softly.

"Get out of here!" Xu Liangshan glared angrily at the maid.

The maid was so frightened that she took a step back and ran away with a puff of smoke.

Xu Liangshan's face was cloudy, and while muttering to himself, he poured himself a drink, and it didn't take long for the whole pot of Jian Nanchun to be drunk.

He staggered to his feet, blew out the candle on the table, and staggered out the door.

People in the world have both a bright side and a dark side, just like the gorgeous lotus flower, but its roots grow in the filthy mud.

Human nature is a thing that is between good and evil. In the daytime, it is usually fine, and the evil spirits are shining, but at night, under the fig leaf of the dark night, the evil side of human nature often grows.

Shuzhen, who was asleep, suddenly woke up, she felt as if someone had come into the room, so she sat up and was about to light the lamp, when she suddenly felt the smell of wine coming to her nose, and then she was tightly pressed by a big hand.

"Silence!" the man whispered.

"It's you?!" said Sook-jeong's voice muffled.

Xu Liangshan saw that she heard her voice, so he simply let go of his hand and sneered: "If you have a kind of shouting, you can call it out loud! Hmph, let everyone know, see if it's good for you or for me?"

"What do you want to do?" asked Sookjeong, huddled at the head of the bed, in a trembling voice.

"Hehe, do you still need to ask? pretend to be innocent with me? Xiaolang-goods!" Xu Liangshan smiled lewdly, and reached out to touch her.

"You dare to ?!...... Take away your dirty hands!Do you know who I am?I'm your aunt!" Shuzhen struggled with shame and anger.

"Hahaha! Auntie, my father-in-law's bones are not cold, you little slut is eyebrow-eyeing with the surnamed Shen, thinking that Lao Tzu is blind?

"If you still have your father-in-law in your eyes, please let it go quickly! Tonight's incident is as if it never happened!" Shuzhen knew that it was useless to struggle, so she calmed down and said coldly.

"Hehe, tell you! Now, Zhu Dongfan's old guy is dead, and everything about him, including you, belongs to me, Xu! I advise you to be obedient! I promise, except that I can't give you a name, I will definitely treat you well!" Xu Liangshan was so good that he pressed her under him.

"If you dare again, I'll die for you!" Shuzhen struggled desperately.

"Hmph, if you want to die, I have no choice, but I promise, when you die, I will definitely treat your precious son well!" Xu Liangshan threatened.

Sook-jeong stopped struggling, tears rolling down her face.

Xu Liangshan slowly put on his robe, twisted Shuzhen's cheeks unsatisfactorily, and was pushed away by her slap.

Xu Liangshan was not angry, got out of bed gently, patted Shuzhen's buttocks under the quilt, and smiled proudly: "Little baby, I have to go back to accompany the yellow-faced woman, so I can't accompany you." Good boy, I'll come back tomorrow night!"

Sook-jeong turned her back in anger.

"Tonight's matter, if you dare to say it, be careful of your little evil animal's life!" Xu Liangshan's tone was cold, and Shi Shiran walked out of the room.
