Mortal Mirror

Lu Yun solemnly told Li Ergou an infuriating news: Wang San and Zhang Kui were ambushed at their doorsteps after separating from everyone yesterday. Now, both of them are seriously injured and may be disabled for life.

Hearing this, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel furious. "It must be the work of Ximen Shang," he said, suppressing his anger.

Lu Yun nodded and said, "It's most likely him. This man is narrow-minded and will never let go after suffering a loss. Brother Gou, you must also be careful."

A deep look flashed in Li Ergou's eyes. After a moment, he took out a gold brick weighing about a hundred taels from his pocket and said in a deep voice, "This matter started because of me, implicating the two brothers. Give this gold to them, let them recuperate well, and tell them to rest assured that their grievances will never be in vain."

His eyes were as firm as a rock, but his tone became more and more calm.

Lu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't expect Li Ergou to be so loyal and righteous. His admiration for him grew even deeper. He couldn't help but sigh, 'Brother Gou, ah, Brother Gou, I, Lu Yun, will definitely follow you to the death in this life.'

He didn't say any more and turned to leave.

Li Ergou strolled in the yamen. Many people whispered behind his back, and some even avoided him inadvertently, as if he were a plague, afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.

Li Ergou naturally didn't care. As soon as he returned to his room, he heard someone knocking on the door and saying, "Sir, there is a person claiming to be Big White Elephant who wants to see you."

Hearing this name, Li Ergou felt a warmth in his heart for no reason and quickly said, "Let him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said, "No, I'll go find him myself."

At this moment, he felt happy, and his depression was swept away, as if his closest family member had come. Walking out of the door, he quickly saw Big White Elephant walking back and forth in the hall.

He walked over and couldn't help but say, "Hey, kid, are you waiting for me?"

When Big White Elephant saw Li Ergou, he was extremely excited and immediately ran over. Without saying a word, he hugged Li Ergou tightly. After a while, he said, "I missed you so much."

The picture at this moment was frozen, like a big bear hugging a little chick, which was very funny.

Li Ergou patted his back and said, "What are you doing? Everyone is watching. Don't I need face?"

Big White Elephant smiled, but Li Ergou saw a flash of uncontrollable sadness in his eyes. For a moment, he felt that Big White Elephant seemed to have something on his mind.

However, after being influenced by the yamen for many days, he had become good at keeping his composure, and then said, "Let's go, let's go eat first, and we'll talk while we eat."

Big White Elephant didn't hesitate and just nodded in agreement.

The people in the yamen were all surprised. They didn't know who this Big White Elephant was, but he dared to be so close to Li Ergou. It was really amazing.

After all, with Li Ergou's current reputation, no one dared to be so intimate with him.

Big White Elephant looked at the eyes of the people around him and said softly, "Ergou, it seems that you are doing well. I have to ask someone to notify you to see you, which scared me a lot.

Tell me, what position do you hold in the yamen now?"

Li Ergou smiled slightly and did not hide anything, "Now I am considered a small official, just a deputy constable."

"What the heck," Big White Elephant widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "What's the situation? You're kidding me, what earth-shattering thing did you do? It's been less than a year, this is too scary.

Deputy constable, this is a well-known official position in Kushui County. No, you have to treat me to a big meal."

Li Ergou laughed and only felt that this kind of Big White Elephant made him even more intimate, so he said, "No problem, let's go to Yuanyang Restaurant to eat the best things."

Yuanyang Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Kushui County, is famous for its peerless famous dish called Yuanyang Soup.

This Yuanyang Soup is made with mandarin ducks as the main ingredient, supplemented by eighteen kinds of rare delicacies, and carefully cooked using a unique secret method. Its delicious taste can be called peerless, so it is famous far and wide.

On the second floor of Yuanyang Restaurant, standing by the window, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of a street, and the atmosphere of human life is nothing more than that.

Now Li Ergou is not short of money, so he waved his hand boldly and ordered a table of Yuanyang Restaurant's signature dishes, and this Yuanyang Soup is naturally among them.

Before long, the wine and dishes were all served. Li Ergou and Big White Elephant clinked glasses and drank together. Li Ergou couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, the dishes at Yuanyang Restaurant are indeed good, but this wine, how can it compare to the flavor of Tiangou Town? It's still that Forget-Worry Wine, its taste is really unforgettable!"

Big White Elephant looked at the outside with a heavy heart and smiled reluctantly, "Hey, there is no real forgetting worries in the world, it's just deceiving yourself."

Li Ergou looked at him with bright eyes and said, "What's wrong? If you have something on your mind, tell me quickly. When did you become so nagging?"

Big White Elephant smiled bitterly, opened his mouth, and after a moment, he said, "Ergou, I'm leaving. I'm here to say goodbye this time."

"Leave!" Li Ergou's eyes showed surprise, and he was also a little reluctant. He really didn't expect that Big White Elephant would also leave him.

Big White Elephant nodded and said, "Yes, leave, maybe it's the kind of leaving forever."

Li Ergou was slightly stunned, always feeling that these words were a little wrong. He tentatively said, "I don't understand, where are you going, is it far away?"

Big White Elephant picked up the wine bowl on his body and drank it all in one gulp, as if he had some courage, "Well, maybe I will die."

His eyes suddenly became bright and looked at Li Ergou.

Li Ergou's heart "thumped", and he immediately understood that this matter was not simple. He quickly asked, "If you still treat me as a brother, tell me what happened. I'm not bragging, I still have some energy in this Kushui County."

Big White Elephant shook his head and said, "Okay, I also hide it from you, it's meaningless, nagging is not my character. Ergou, I'm going to kill someone, kill a heinous person."

Li Ergou's heart moved, and he guessed it was almost right. He saw his eyes narrowed slightly and said excitedly, "What happened, tell me first."

Big White Elephant finally showed a sad look in his eyes and said, "Ergou, now my family is ruined."

Li Ergou's heart "thumped", and he felt inexplicably sour, but he still didn't speak, just nodded, letting Big White Elephant continue to speak.

Big White Elephant slowly said, "Isn't it near the end of the year? My sister went to the shop to buy cloth, wanting to make a beautiful dress, but she was seen by a young master who happened to pass by. That person coveted my sister's beauty and kidnapped her.

Three days later, when my parents saw my sister, she was already a cold corpse. My parents were angry and went to this person to reason, but they didn't want to be beaten to death by this person's men.

I hate it, my family is ruined, blood feud, if this revenge is not avenged, how can a man survive between heaven and earth.

So I came to say goodbye to you, I'm going to kill that guy, but I heard that person is very powerful, I'm afraid I will not return, although I don't know if I can avenge, but I must go, if you are a brother, don't persuade me."

Li Ergou couldn't see anything on the surface at the moment, but his heart was already surging, and he was very angry.

His voice was icy cold, with endless killing intent, "Who is that person?"
