Just remember

In the punishment room of Anhualou, Ge Shiqi had been tied up for three days and three nights.

The righteous brothers would take turns to interrogate him, or tortured him with water, or needles, or like the wicked Ge Shishi, stripped him naked, and whipped the most painful places with the thinnest and toughest whips.

This was the first time Ge Shiqi had seen Ge Shishi's methods, and his surprise even outweighed his pain.

But these people, without exception, all failed.

The answers Ge Songxiang got were all the same—it was indeed a simple miss, and nothing suspicious was found.

The assassination of Hua Zhan failed, which was Ge Shiqi's first miss since he opened the sword.

This was a complete failure, because according to him, he didn't even find Huazhan's hiding place, and lost him halfway, so the tracer really became a wisp of smoke, scattered in the vast rivers and lakes.

Anyone could miss it, but it shouldn't be Ge Shiqi, and what's even more unbelievable is that he hardly brought back any useful information.Ge Songxiang was not suspicious, but almost sure that Ge Shiqiu had lied to him. However, this confirmation was only intuition, and he was resisted by Ge Shiqiu's heartfelt performance over the years, which made him a little confused for a while.

The wheel battles lead to nothing.

In the end, Ge Songxiang personally went to the punishment room and brought the man out.

Due to the order of the head of the sect, the righteous brothers did not kill them after all. After half a month of cultivation, they are still a lively young man.

Of course, Ge Shiqi himself seems to never have a relationship with the word "fresh".

This kind of indifference and maturity beyond his age, Ge Songxiang likes to be a knife, but it is boring to be a disciple.So he prefers to let Ge Shiqi be the knife.

Three days later, Ge Shiqi received a new mission, and the target was Jin Chenyu, the young owner of the Golden Thread Villa.

Ge Shiqi didn't know Jin Chenyu, or no matter who he was going to kill this time, he would complete the task as quickly as possible to win back Ge Songxiang's trust.

He has no relatives in this world, nor does he need any.

Except foster father.

In the evening ten days later, Ge Shiqi appeared on the courtyard wall of the Golden Haunch Villa.

When the familiar voice entered his ears, Ge Shiqi thought he was hallucinating until he saw that face.

Still the same, with staggered toasts and peach blossoms on his face, if the person opposite hadn't changed from Huazhan to Jin Chenbi, he almost thought he was still in Baijiashan.

Jin Chenbi is the youngest son of the old owner of the Golden Haunch Villa. He has no future, but he doesn't cause any trouble.His yard is adjacent to Jin Chenyu's, so from Ge Shiqi's position, both sides can be seen at a glance.

Last time he felt that Chun Jin was at ease, but this time his evaluation was changed to frivolity.

Ge Shiqi felt bored for the first time.

He thought, maybe Chun Jinran is still the same Chun Jinran, only himself has changed.

Disappeared together with hesitation.

Last time he missed Hua Zhan because of this, and this time he will definitely not let Jin Chenyu go.

However, Nachun Jinran and Jin Chenyu didn't seem to have much friendship, because several times, Jin Chenyu frowned dissatisfied because of the laughter in the courtyard next door.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chun Jinran over there came out to go to the latrine, and Jin Chenyu here finally went to bed.

Ge Shiqi narrowed his eyes, quietly took out his dagger, and prepared to sneak in.

Unexpectedly, someone was faster than him.

Jin Chenyu, who was sleeping soundly, didn't notice at all, and was killed with a knife.

Ge Shiqi quietly watched the whole process.

In the early morning, the witch hazel villa was turned upside down.

Chun Jinran, the only outsider, was accused of being the murderer, and Lao Zhuang wanted to kill him to pay for his life.

For a moment, Ge Shiqi even wanted to jump off the wall and take him away.

However, Chun Shaoxia didn't need his help.

First, he persuaded the old farm owner to believe the suspicious points with his three-inch tongue, and then pulled out the cocoon, and finally found out the murderer at noon.

The old owner was furious and immediately took it down.

Ge Shiqi didn't care about the murderer's life or death, and he was even very grateful to the murderer, because in this way, Jin Chenyu not only died, but also justified his death.Most likely, the employer would still pay the Anhualou, because no matter from reason or fact, he didn't have to bother to clear himself of the suspicion of buying a murder. When he was happy, he wouldn't mind using money to stop the Anhualou's mouth.

From the moment he found out that Jin Chenyu was dead, Ge Shiqi could leave, and he didn't know why he still lay on the wall, watching Chun Jinran run around, reasoning and looking for clues.

broad daylight.

His night clothes have become extremely awkward.

Time to go, Ge Shiqi thought.Although I don't know why, I feel a little sad.

"Hey, on the wall—"

Chun Jinran's voice suddenly came from below.

Ge Shiqi was shocked. His first thought was to run away, but his body didn't listen. Fortunately, he immediately realized that he was still covering his face at the moment, and after a tossing morning, the Golden Hazel Villa began to work non-stop. The funeral of the owner, there is no one else in this secluded place.

The four eyes met, and the atmosphere was delicate for a while.

"You were here last night." It wasn't a question, but a certainty, even with a trace of... resentment?

Ge Shiqi remained silent.

Wearing black night clothes and a black cloth mask, even if you want to deny it, you really can't say it.

"Jin Chenyu was killed, you must have seen it too."

Now that the above recognized it, Ge Shiqi simply acquiesced to the end.

But what Chun Jinran said next made it impossible for him to keep silent: "Then why didn't you speak up when I was wronged!"

This accusation came as a matter of course, and it was justified, so strong that Ge Shiqi actually had a moment of introspection, thinking about how wrong he was.

However, he soon discovered that this accusation was simply absurd.

Taking the risk of being identified for a person who is not relatives or relatives, no, any night walker who suddenly jumps out of someone's house is not suspicious, but the person who comes must be unkind, okay? He can point out the murderer, then what next? Explain to get yourself out?

Ge Shiqi was full of inexplicable emotions, but in the end, there was only one sentence——

"Why should I speak for you?"

"We're friends." Chun Jinran didn't hesitate, and wasn't even excited, as calm as if he was describing something that a three-year-old child knows.

However, it was this naturalness that made Ge Shiqi even more depressed.

Fortunately, Chun Jinran seemed to have tasted his clumsy tongue, and without waiting for a response, he said everything: "I saw you in Baijiashan last month. Huazhan said you were his friend, but you have a weird personality. , I don’t like to meet people, so I didn’t say hello to you. But not saying hello doesn’t mean no friendship. You are a friend of Huazhan, and I am also a friend of Huazhan, so we are also friends. Friends are wronged, you can obviously It is injustice to stand up, but keep silent, and it is rude to talk to me for so long without taking off your mask, tell me, which one have I wronged you."

Chun Jinran spoke too fast, and Ge Shiqi couldn't keep up. After listening to it, he forgot the first two, and in the end he only remembered the last two.

Let's not talk about it for now.

But it really reminded him——

"Since I'm covering my face, why do you think I'm the person you said you met on Baijia Mountain?"

Chun Jinran smiled slightly, his eyes flickering: "A mosquito passed by me, and I couldn't tell the male from the female, but a dear friend passed me by, even if it was wrapped into rice dumplings, my eyes can also disguise his disguise." Peel off the layers."

This is indeed a skill, Ge Shiqi thought, but it doesn't seem to be so powerful that it is earth-shattering.

So why does Chun Jinran seem to be sitting on the whole world with a proud expression?

This question was not answered until Ge Shiqi left the Golden Hazel Villa, and had a drink with Chun Jinran, who had also bid farewell and left, in an unknown inn until the next dawn.

Ge Shiqi was drinking alcohol for the first time in his life, but Chun Jinran was so drunk that he was only slightly tipsy.

Chun Jinran said that you are a liar by throwing wine, you are obviously not drunk after a thousand cups, but you say you can't drink.

Ge Shiqi has no place to argue for his injustice.

Then Chun Jinran fell asleep at his desk.

Ge Shiqi didn't feel sleepy, but imitated the other party's appearance and put his upper body on the table.

With his ear to his arm and his face to the drunkard, Ge Shiqi was not sleepy, but quietly admiring the man's foolishness in his hazy drunkenness.

So silly, drool has soaked the sleeves.

Mingming said that he was very restrained and never got drunk with his friends, but when he turned around, he became a puddle of mud.

But this mud is white and red, very beautiful.

The more Ge Shiqi watched, the more fascinated he became, he leaned over and pecked his slightly parted lips.

It was only later that Ge Shiqi realized that it was called stealing incense.

As for why others stole it full of fragrance, but what he stole smelled like alcohol. According to Hua Zhan, it was a punishment from God.

Who told him to plan other people's land secretly.

Ge Shiqi didn't like Hua Zhan, every time the other party spoke, he wanted to throw a knife at him.

Kehuazhan's sword is faster.

So he can only practice more diligently in the repeated depression, hoping that one day he will be proud.

—Of course, these are all many years later.
