Above the stars

The lighter has a bronze shell, 60% new, with a skull inlaid on the body.

The raised parts of the skull were polished smooth, and even the color faded by more than half, turning into a mixture of black and yellow.

Lian Feng reached out and took the lighter, looked at it for a while and then asked aloud: "Is this brought by one of our own?"

It would be meaningless if the lighters brought by Bian Zhenxin himself or his group of boys fell during the fighting.

They are looking for the murderer, not who was killed.

After all, the body was lying straight in front of them.

"Probably not." Chen Hu said aloud: "This kind of windproof lighter is rare now, and it is even rarer in this Hate Mountain gathering area. I can be sure that this is not the Bian Shenshi who smoked cigarettes, but never I have never used a lighter like this.”

"As for other black robes, it is even less likely that there are such good things. Even if there are, they would have been given to the Lord God Envoy long ago."

If you take the initiative to give, that is filial piety.

If you are passive, you don't know how to appreciate others.

Anyway, good things must belong to the Lord God, which is why the members of the Flame Shrine desperately want to be promoted.

When you reach a certain high position, you will be qualified to accept "filial piety" from others.

Bian Feng nodded and did not take Chen Hu's tea talk of "slandering" Bian Zhenxin to heart. This is how it is on the ruins. The weak eat the strong, and the weak pay tribute and surrender to the strong. Isn't this a natural thing?

"Then there is an explanation." The winger pondered for a moment, and said aloud: "Bian Zhenxin's strength is not weak, and he can be regarded as a first-class master in this Hate Mountain gathering area. But, he was stabbed by someone"

Thinking of his son's tragic situation, Bian Feng felt his heart twitch.

It hurts!

"How many people in the entire Hate Mountain gathering area can kill him with one blow?" The winger looked around, and finally landed on the corpses that were gathered together, and said: "Besides, there are still people around him." There are many people in gray robes and what kind of force can kill so many people silently?"

"Look at the injuries on their bodies. Some were killed by gravity, and the Hate Mountain gathering area was divided into two by sharp weapons. Who has such great strength? Who has such sharp weapons? "

"Look at those wounds again. I am worried that they are not completely dead, and many of them were directly wiped on their necks. Who is so cruel and cruel?"

The winger threw the lighter in his hand and said: "One day, I will give you one day and I want a result."

Chen Hu took the lighter, bowed and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely investigate the matter clearly. Brother's blood must be repaid with blood."

The winger nodded, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have lived in the city for a long time, and I haven't tasted the taste of barbecue for a long time."

"."

Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

——

"Are these men's clothes?" Phoenix asked aloud, holding up the blue jeans and black sweatshirt in his hand.

"They are men's clothes." Tang Bandi nodded and said. "We don't have women in our family, how can we have women's clothes?"

"But." Fenghuang still wanted to say something more, but thinking of his current situation, he immediately nodded obediently and accepted, and said, "Okay, then I will wear men's clothes. This is the first time I have worn men's clothes since I was a child." Woolen cloth"

"It's my first time too," Tang Bandi said.

"Huh?" Fenghuang looked at Tang Bandit. Is he driving?

"This is the first time my clothes are worn by women." Tang Bandi explained.

"Oh." Fenghuang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang Bandi, it's my honor."

"Don't be too honored, I can't wear it anyway. Little Fatty can't even wear it, so I'm planning to give it away," Tang Bandit said.

"."

Phoenix stopped talking.

Phoenix didn't speak, and Tang Bandit didn't know what to say.

So the two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The atmosphere was subtle and more awkward.

"Do you want to watch me change clothes here?" Fenghuang asked when he saw that Tang Bandit still didn't leave.

Tang Bandi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this woman to make such a rude request to him.

He looked into Phoenix's eyes and asked expectantly, "Is that okay?"

"Of course not."

"oh!"

Tang Bandit responded, turned around and walked outside.

When Tang Bandit came out, the old man was sitting in the yard drinking tea from a big enamel cup. The little fat boy was shirtless and smashing rocks in the yard. When he hammered down, the big rock split into two. Then he picked up the hammer and knocked on the corners.

Bandit Tang rolled up his sleeves and was about to go up to help. The old man shouted: "You brat, come here."

"Smelly boy" is the code name of the Tang bandit, while Xiaopang is the "idiot" and "rice bucket".

Tang Bandit walked up to the old man and asked: "What? Are you still worried?"

"Can I rest assured? Do you know how serious this is?"

"Know."

"Then you really want to protect her?" The old man said with hatred: "What if she sells us?"

"What's the point of selling her to us? If we are really found, will the people of the Flame Shrine listen to our explanation? Shouldn't they be buried together? The current situation is that we must die together and live together."

"But it's too conspicuous to have such a girl around now. If such a big thing happened to the Flame Shrine, the outsiders will definitely be investigated. What if they find us? What if someone attacks her again? What should I do if I have bad thoughts?"

"A young boy like you, who has never eaten any good food or seen any women, thinks she is beautiful. He is attracted by her beauty. Others are not fools. Can they not see that she is beautiful? Beauty is a disaster. Beauty is a disaster. Huoshui, I’ve been saying this in front of you and Xiaopang all day long, why don’t you take it to heart at all?”

Xiaopang raised his head and said with aggrieved expression: "I take it to heart."

"Smash the rocks. What does this have to do with you?"

"Oh." Xiaopang threw the stone even more aggrievedly.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Tang Bandit looked at the old man, raised his knife and lowered it, and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"

"Well, speaking of it, she didn't do anything wrong. The only fault is that she looks so good-looking and doesn't look like someone from our old land. It's too difficult to hide her identity."

"Then we can't just kill people." Tang Bandit said loudly: "If we do such a thing, what is the difference between us and those predators?"

"Didn't I do nothing? Didn't I convince you?" The old man said angrily: "But we have to think of a perfect solution, so why don't we just run away?"

"No." Tang Bandit refused and said, "If we run away at this time, wouldn't that be a guilty conscience? Originally, they couldn't find us, but now we run away...hey, didn't you jump out and admit that we did it?"

"You can't catch us even if you know it. Apart from anything else, when it comes to running skills, I consider myself second, and absolutely no one would dare to consider me number one." The old man looked proud and said, "But what you said makes sense. The Flame Shrine has a huge power, and another black-robed person died this time. If we really have a head-on conflict with them, there will never be peace in the future. Now that the matter has come to this, we can only be careful."

Tang Bandit nodded, looked at the old man and said, "Why did you tell her that?"

"Which one are you talking about?" the old man asked knowingly.

Tang Bandit's eyes narrowed and he said, "Talk about marriage. Why did you let her marry me?"

"What? You're not happy?"

"This is not something to be happy about. We have just met, and we don't have any understanding or any emotional basis."

"Okay, okay, don't make these useless excuses." The old man interrupted Tang Bandit's words and said to the point: "Don't you just think that you are a blind drifter from the old land, and that others are distinguished guests who came down from the new star? What do you think? I am worried about being rejected if I am not good enough, and I can’t save my face, so I don’t want me to mention it, right?”

"I didn't think so." Tang Bandit denied.

"Okay, okay, can you fool me with your little tricks?" The old man sneered and said, "If I don't mention it, do you think she will think about it? She will think about being with you in the future. ?”

"No." Tang Bandit said simply.

He is shameless, but he is honest.

"What about you? Do you think about it?"

"No."

He is honest, but also shameless.

"So what's the harm in mentioning it?" The old man smirked and said, "It doesn't lose a piece of meat, and it doesn't add a wrinkle. What's the matter? Of course it's better if it can be done. If it can't be done, at least it can be planted in her heart." A seed.”

"Seeds?" Tang Bandit looked confused.

Shouldn’t the seeds be planted in soil or meat? Why is it okay in my heart?

"You don't understand." The old man shook his head, looked at Tang Bandit and said, "But you will understand in the future."

"."

While having dinner, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Tang Bandit!" someone called outside the door.

"It's sir." Tang Bandit said.

While talking, he walked over and opened the courtyard door.

Because of the last incident, Fenghuang didn't want to have contact with strangers, so he went to the room to hide.

The husband came in with a wine gourd, smelled the smell of stewed meat in the room, and said with a smile: "It's better to come early than to come. Is this a stewed meat? I have caught up."

"Sir, please come in quickly." Tang Bandit respectfully invited him in.

"Mr. is here." The old man also came over to say hello to Mr., seeing the wine gourd in Mr.'s hand, his eyes lit up instantly, and said, "Sir, do you want to have a drink with me?"

The gentleman shook his head, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Bandit Tang saw Mr.'s expression on his face, instantly guessed what was on his mind, and said with a smile, "Mr. came just in time. I hunted a lot of prey today, and I'm going to send you a red-eyed rabbit there. You have a lot of family members, so you can Just make do with it for a few days."

The gentleman looked at Bandit Tang gratefully, and said with shame and anxiety: "To tell you the truth, brother Yousheng's legs and feet are inconvenient. You have been out hunting during this time. You also know that his temper is soft, and his shots are not good. So, I haven’t been able to bring back the prey.”

"I have eaten all the food in the house, and there is really nothing to eat today. I just want to exchange some food from you with the gourd wild fruit wine I brewed earlier."

"No need to change." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "You take this wine back and I'll ask Fatty to carry a rabbit over for you."

"No, no, no." Mr. waved his hands again and again, and said with a serious face: "If you don't accept this wine, I won't accept that rabbit either. How can there be such a thing as eating for nothing? It doesn't say that in the book."

"My husband taught me to read so many books and learn so many words. What's wrong if I give you a rabbit?"

"You don't have enough things to give?" the husband said with a face of shame: "Although I took you to read a few books and learn a few words, you have helped our Lao Huang family a lot these years. Our family's The children are not in good health, let alone good hunters. If you hadn't kept sending food and meat to our house, I'm afraid several of us would have starved to death."

Tang Bandit knew his husband's temper, so he said, "Okay, I'll trade the meat for your husband's wine. We just happen to be greedy for wine too."

"Okay, okay." The gentleman quickly handed over the wine in his hand.

Tang Bandit took the wine gourd, uncorked the bottle and took a sip. He praised it and said, "The fruit wine you make is excellent."

"As long as you like it, that's fine. When spring comes, I'll ask your brother Yousheng to pick more fruits, and I'll brew some more."

"Don't bother Brother Yousheng. His legs and feet are inconvenient. If you want some fruit, sir, I'll pick it for you. However, we have agreed that I have to share a pot of the fruit wine brewed."

"Share a pot. No, I'll give you half." The gentleman agreed repeatedly.

The husband left, taking Xiaopang with him.

Xiaopang left with a red-eyed rabbit.

Tang Bandit held the wine gourd and shouted: "Phoenix, come out and drink."

If you have wine today, you will be drunk today. If you have sorrow tomorrow, you will have sorrow tomorrow.

After drinking this pot of wine, I can cut off people's heads tomorrow.
