Chapter 9: Revisiting the Old Place (Part II)
The moment the short sword on Jia San's waist was slowly unsheathed, he immediately heard a faint voice in the distance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Young Masterβ"
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, Jia San frowned, this hesitation will become the most regrettable thing in Jia San's life. Jia San slowly let go of his hand, smiled at Chu Zhongcheng, turned around and walked towards the broken temple.
"Why did the eldest young master run here?"
A family member was followed by several big men, the big men were burly, and there was a fierce aura on their faces, judging from their appearances, there should have been several lives under their hands. If there was no blood on his hands, that kind of look should not be so ruthless. If there are hundreds of lives in his hands, then his appearance should be no different from ordinary people, although Chu Zhongcheng is young, he is also extremely proficient in this middle doorway.
At that moment, Chu Zhongcheng didn't want to say more, turned around and walked into the crowd, only then gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence:
"Let's go. β
"The head of the family has been looking for the eldest young master for a day, but he ......"
Seeing that Chu Zhongcheng was walking extremely fast, the family Ding was stunned, and when a few big men also left his side, the family Ding hurriedly caught up. Walking to Chu Zhongcheng's side, Jia Ding noticed that Chu Zhongcheng's neck was covered with beads of sweat, and after a closer look, Chu Zhongcheng's face was sweating like pulp, and his upper and lower lips were trembling.
After walking a few steps like this, Chu Zhongcheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was weak: "Ah Liu, are there any carriages or sedan chairs with you?"
Jia Ding Ah Liu frowned, but he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect in his voice: "The second master asked you to move more, although the eldest young master is very generous on weekdays, but the second master specially ordered it, and the little one dare not disobey the order." β
After walking two more streets, Chu Zhongcheng stopped, his legs trembled, and Ah Liu's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly supported him. Ah Liu knows that the eldest young master likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move on weekdays, and his body bones are extremely poor, don't look at the long body, but even his skinny monkey can knock him down with one punch. It's just that what's going on today? It stands to reason that the eldest young master shouldn't be so tired, he only went out of the house for two or three hours, and he didn't bring any servants, so he thought he would sneak away to those flower streets and willow alleys, and he didn't dare to let the second master know, why did his body and bones seem to be hollowed out one afternoon?
Ah Liu remembered that Chu Zhongcheng had mentioned two days ago that there was a Peugeot Red Silk in Fengqin Building, isn't it......
So Ah Liu leaned close to Chu Zhongcheng's left ear, lowered his voice and said: "Big young master, is you too happy today?" The little one has already advised you to take care of yourself, the second master scolded Xiaohong for the first time yesterday, I really can't imagine what the second master looks like when he scolds people, but seeing that the little red circles are red, I think the second master scolded a little hard. Hey, now the eldest young master can help the second master, the eldest young master must take care of himself......"
When Chu Zhongcheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he just saw that person, it should be Sikong Gu's subordinate, although the informant's intelligence did not record the appearance of this person, and the person with such a strong martial arts force could not be noticed by those old rivers and lakes.
"What are you hiding...... Sikong Gu, no wonder the second uncle is so anxious to scold, what do you want to do?"
Chu Zhongcheng tried to think about Sikong Gu's true purpose, but he remembered the tall man just now, the short sword, the smile, and the man's martial arts were also unfathomable...... Is there such a person in the rivers and lakes? If so, why is his name not known? And why are he willing to be driven by Sikong Lonely?
"Wait--that broken temple, isn't there any clue in that broken temple? If the three of them are really Sikong Gu's subordinates, then there must be a mystery in this broken temple. But his mind turned again, "No, no, I was exposed to Sikong Gu too early, those people may know me, if there is really some mystery, I am afraid that there will be nothing left at this time." β
Chu Zhongcheng thought about it, but there was only a gloom left in his heart, plus he was so frightened by Jia San, and now his whole body was almost paralyzed on Ah Liu. Chu Zhongcheng's body is huge, but Ah Liu is as thin as a monkey, how can he support his whole body as the eldest young master? So the master and servant fell to the ground, and those big men obviously did not react, they saw Ah Liu holding Chu Zhongcheng, and heard Ah Liu's whispered words, and naturally thought that Chu Zhongcheng was just "weak in body and bones". Who would have thought that now Chu Zhongcheng's whole person is spread on Ah Liu's body like mud. When he took them to reach out to help, Ah Liu had been pressed to the mud ground by Chu Zhongcheng's fat body, and everyone helped the master and servant up with all hands and feet, but Chu Zhongcheng's eyes were sloppy, and he didn't have half of his spirit, like a dead man.
Whether it was those burly men or Ah Liu, who felt that his body and bones had fallen apart, they would not have thought that Chu Zhongcheng was only thinking about one thing now: who was that letter, the person who asked him to wait in this broken temple for Shen You's friendship?
In the ruined temple, Xiao Yanagi was looking at the stone Buddha lying on the ground. The head of this stone Buddha is long gone, and half of its arm is still sunk into the ground, looking at it, it is no different from ten years ago, except that the cobwebs are thicker. It's just that he often crawled around on it at the beginning, unless there was no food, Sikong Gu would never let her beg on the street, after all, since Koyanagi remembered, he accompanied her in this broken temple. Every winter is the coldest season, he will also hide behind the stone Buddha with her, burning "firewood", after all, at the end of summer, the two have begun to pile those branches, small wooden blocks and other things in the broken temple, so that they can have a little warmth when it snows.
When the snow melted, the two of them hugged each other, and a few times Xiaoyanagi wanted to throw his whole body on the small stove, but he pulled her into his arms again.
At that time, did he also regard me as a relative? Koyanagi looked at the trace behind the stone Buddha, which was left by the fire, and could not be erased unless the stone brick was destroyed as well. Thinking of the "Sikong Lone" now, what do you want to call him? Brother Lonely?
"Because I'm an orphan, it's good if you call me Brother Lonely, you see, the word 'Lonely' should be written like this. β
I still remember the smug expression on the dirt floor outside the ruined temple when he taught himself to read. At that time, he stole a few books from nowhere, and according to the plaques in the streets and alleys of Jiangning, as well as the sentence reading method that he got out of nowhere, he actually knew the contents of those books.
"Then I'm also an orphan, but why does Brother Gu call me 'Xiaoliu'?"
What was your expression at that time? At that time, I must have had a meal that I didn't have enough to eat, and I don't know if there was a next meal, right?
But why do you think about it now, at that time, when you asked him any questions...... Are they all smiling?
Leaning against the wooden door, Xiao Liu looked at the pine tree that was very tall and very high, and only wanted to be able to see the top under the tree, but now he stood here, and he could see the spire at a glance, but he was no longer half happy.
"Am I changing, right? Why didn't I grow taller and not grow much......"
Not far away, Jia San, Guo Si and Si were all staring closely at Xiao Liu and the surrounding situation. The two naturally didn't understand the girl's thoughts, and they were not interested in knowing Sikong Gu's past, but seeing the girl's frowning brows and tears flashing in her eyes, a sense of blockage suddenly arose in their hearts.
It's like a dagger that suddenly gives birth to seven emotions and six desires.
And when the tears slowly dripped down, Jia Sanguo Si's brows also began to wrinkle, as if the tears were not dripping on the stone steps, but on their hearts.
"Ah Si, the difference between the young master and the master, I have already figured it out. β
Guo Si shook his head and made a silent gesture again, and Jia San didn't say a word again, but those two pairs of eyes didn't dare to look at Xiao Liu's face anymore.
"Because I like willow trees. β
His voice was light, not as clear as water. He had just learned a few words, let alone any martial arts, and even said that he had nothing of value on his body, his clothes were dirty and torn, and his feet were torn and old with two straw sandals......
But his smile was very real.
