ten steps one kill

Fortunately, Duan Changya has good luck this time - if a person is born with unique blessings and smooth sailing, even fortune will favor him more and often stand on his side.

For example, this time, when he didn't know how to respond, someone came forward to save him from the fire.

This person is Chang Zhao, the chief disciple of Duan Qichang, the head of Tianji Sect.

With a smile on his face, Chang Zhao spoke instead of him and said, "You are all the young master's friends in need, and you have helped me a lot this time. We should prepare bouillon and entertain you on behalf of the young master."

Fang Wuxiang was the first to wave his hand again: "Thank you for your kindness, but I am still in a hurry to see my friend, and I am about to say goodbye."

Mu Xue glanced at Fang Wuxiang, and then said: "The hall master has an order, I have to accompany him, it is inconvenient to go away, I will eat Young Master Duan's wine next time."

Chang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's really a pity, it seems that I can only thank you two next time." After saying that, he turned his gaze to Liu Hongfeng.

Liu Hongfeng's eyes also kept following Chang Zhao.

Last night, he had a quick meeting with this person at the place where the murder case took place, but unfortunately at that time the night was dark and the surroundings were in chaos, he really couldn't see the other person's face clearly.Now that this person came to his door on his own initiative, he naturally would not let it go, and took advantage of the bright sunlight to scrutinize him carefully.

Chang Zhao was wearing a simple and expensive light shirt with a long sword on his back. He was tall and tall. From a distance, he looked like an older Duan Changya.It's a pity that his look is far from the latter.Duan Changya had always been serious, but Chang Zhao always had a smile on his face, his eyes were narrowed into two crescent-like slits, and there were light and imperceptible creases at the corners of his eyes, which seemed very kind at first glance.But if you look at it for a long time, you will see that his smile rarely changes, and it is somewhat deliberate, sticking to his face like a humble and polite mask.

While Liu Hongfeng was thinking about it, Chang Zhao had already asked, "I wonder if the three of you are willing to honor me."

His eyes swept over Liu Qian and Jin'e, and finally landed on Liu Hongfeng, waiting for the latter's answer.

Liu Hongfeng also raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said: "Brother Chang, don't take the kid's words to heart. Jin'e and I are both ordinary people in the market, so we can't make it into the hall of elegance. I think it's better to forget it."

Chang Zhao said: "Wherever you are, heroes don't care about their origins. Since you are the young master's friends, you are the distinguished guests of Tianjimen."

There was still a half-smile on his face.

Liu Hongfeng looked around from the corner of her eye, and saw that the Tianji Gate next to Chang Zhao was also looking at her, but it was a pity that these people were not as reserved as Chang Zhao, with suspicion and disgust written in their eyes.

Liu Hongfeng is too familiar with such cold eyes. He has been living on the streets since he was a child. Because of his humble background, he has never had the opportunity to join a famous and decent family. He has learned all his martial arts from everywhere.Stealing a teacher is a big taboo in martial arts, worse than stealing money. In these years, everyone shouted and beat him like a mouse crossing the street.

He is too familiar with the virtues of the children of the aristocratic family. These people look down on the three religions and nine streams from the bottom of their hearts. In the face of a common enemy, the two sides can still work together to fight together. Once the enemy disappears, the relationship between the two parties will return to the original point.

Not only he could see it, but Jin E beside him could also see it.

Jin'e echoed him and said: "Little girl is short-sighted. This is the first time she has seen the scene of the world. She is terrified. How dare she bother you. Besides, I am a woman, and I am not as wise and skilled as you knights. I have exhausted all my strength right now. I want to take a rest, if you want to show your love, why don't you come to Yingge Tower to gather again some other day."

She felt that the gazes cast on her changed one after another, some became sharp and indifferent, as if seeing a scourge, while others became full of interest, as if they were about to tear off her clothes with their eyes.

Liu Qian clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally moved her steps, approaching Liu Hongfeng's side.

It was a silent signal that he was willing to give up a meal of meat for the sake of loyalty.Liu Hongfeng had nothing to repay such touching affection, she could only stretch out her arms to embrace him, put her five fingers on the top of his head, and rumpled his hair even more.

Chang Zhao waited until the three of them stood still, and then said, "Since that's the case, I won't force anyone to do anything. Everyone has been running around all night, so please take a good rest."

Liu Hongfeng bowed his hand and said, "Goodbye."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Duan Changya, met the other's dull gaze, and squeezed his eyes without warning.

The corners of his eyes are low, and when he squeezed, he drew a few fine lines on his temples, which piled up and stretched out, revealing a charm in his agility.

This is his unique skill of stealing lessons from prostitutes in his spare time. The blue is better than the blue, and even women feel a little ashamed when they see it.

His winking eyes crossed the crowd, passed many cold eyes and contempt, and cast them accurately on the target.

He is very satisfied with his results.

He turned around, swung his sleeves and walked away, leaving Chang Zhao and the others behind.Those sharp gazes with malicious intentions were like arrow clusters, whistling to catch up with his back, but they faltered halfway before touching his spine.

He has seen many cold looks, but it doesn't mean he will take them to heart.

His spine was straight, as if protected by a shield and mail, without fear.

What protected him was not the shield and mail, but the suffering he had suffered.Suffering is like a ferocious beast, which either completely destroys a person, or is subdued by him. His claws are worn off, his fangs are pulled out, and he turns into a loyal guard, bowing his head to accompany him.

He is a victor who has overcome suffering, so his appearance is particularly dazzling when he walks in this world.Even if he put on a pitch-black burlap shirt in order to disguise himself as a villain, it still couldn't conceal the fire on his body.

It was also the first time Duan Changya saw such fire.

His eyes kept chasing Liu Hongfeng's back, and he was able to see it for a while. It was not until Chang Zhao called him for the third time that he suddenly woke up, and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chang Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little older than Duan Changya, but he still treated him like a master and servant, bowed and said, "Young master, since the idlers have left, follow me back as soon as possible."

Duan Changya shook his head and said, "Go back first."

Chang Zhao looked surprised: "Aren't you going back with us?"

"Not following."

"But the master is still waiting for your news."

"Just tell him there's no need to wait."

Chang Zhao was greatly surprised. He joined the Tianji Gate in his early years and has been following Duan Qichang, and has dealt with this young master for many years.In his impression, apart from practicing martial arts, Duan Changya doesn't listen to anything outside the window. On weekdays, he cherishes words like gold, and doesn't even say a word, let alone provoke disputes and conflicts.This man poured all his thoughts into the sword, as pure as a piece of white paper.

Therefore, he really did not expect that Duan Changya would make his own claim at this moment and disobey the Sect Leader's intentions.

Chang Zhao forgot one thing - just because the white paper is white enough and pure enough, the words written on it are extra black, extra clear, extra vigorous and powerful.

Duan Changya's appearance when he rebelled was like black and white, he was more vigorous than ordinary people, and he had already set off in a blink of an eye, chasing after the three of them.

His footsteps were as fast as his sword, leaving people unprepared, leaving only a resounding order that pierced Chang Zhao's ears:

"Tell him, I'm going to treat my friends to meat."

Duan Changya's footsteps are very fast, compared to the exhausted Jin'e and the wet Liu Qian, his speed is much faster.The three of them hadn't walked far, or even got rid of the hustle and bustle of the crowd, when Duan Changya's shadow emerged quietly along the rugged mountain road.

Duan Changya is tall, and his shadow casts a long shadow on the ground.But the long shadow is still upright, and even the wind-blown hair on the temples is very neat.This person seemed to be born with a gravitational force, which pressed the surrounding air firmly.

Jin'e was the first to turn her head, showing a look of complete surprise: "Master Duan, why are you here?"

Duan Changya said in a calm voice: "You have done me a favor, and I should repay it."

"Okay," Liu Qian grabbed the words, "Are you here to invite us to eat meat? I want to eat braised pork, steamed pork, white cut pork, pearl meat balls..."

As Liu Qian spoke, she looked up at him, her big and round eyes were full of enthusiasm, as if she saw a table full of Chinese people.

Duan Changya frowned slightly, and said: "...I will do my best to satisfy."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qian was slapped hard on the back of the head: "You little brat, you are not afraid to eat yourself into a meatball."

"I want you to take care of it!" Liu Qian jumped violently, but she was so thin that she couldn't reach the back of this annoying ghost.

The annoying ghost turned to the visitor, immediately raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled brightly: "Chang Ya, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Liu Qian muttered to the side: "Say it as if you knew he would catch up..."

"Of course I know."

"why?"

"Because he must be reluctant to part with me." Liu Hongfeng said and winked again, "Is that right, Chang Ya."

This time his winks were no longer in the way.

It's just that Duan Changya's footsteps suddenly slowed down.

"It's too late to regret it now," Liu Hongfeng immediately went to grab the other's arm and happily put it in his arms, "If you come, you will be mine, and if you come, don't even think about leaving."

Liu Qian couldn't help feeling sick again.

He deliberately walked a little slower, avoiding the beast that robbed the men in broad daylight, and returned to Jin'e's side, pressing his cheeks against the soft skirt, while burrowing into the other's arms.He has practiced many times in the carriage, and he is already familiar with playing the role of his son without any effort.

Liu Hongfeng poked behind him from the corner of his eye to make sure that Liu Qian was separated from him, then released Duan Changya from his claws, narrowed his eyes and said, "Actually, I have something to ask you."

Duan Changya said: "But it's okay to ask."

Liu Hongfeng put away his joking look, and asked, "If that dwarf's background was pitiful enough, would you let him go?"

"No." Duan Changya just shook his head: "Although his life experience is tragic, the crimes he committed are unforgivable. No matter what he says, he must be killed."

"In that case, why do you have to ask?"

"In order to make people like him no longer appear in the Jianghu."

Liu Hongfeng was stunned: "But Dongfengtang's wealth and status today are all accumulated by the blood and sweat of the miners. There are thousands of people like him in places you can't see. What can you do? "

Duan Changya said: "There is always a lot that can be done."

"For example?" Liu Hongfeng asked inquisitively.

Duan Changya thought for a moment, then said: "For example, the foreman tricked him into going down the well because his life was not worth the load of gold and silver. If there were rules and regulations to punish the murder of money, the foreman would not dare to be so presumptuous. His The family members and the foreman are also cowardly because they are greedy for money, but if the people are not poor and poor, they will not devour their own flesh and blood for the sake of money."

Liu Hongfeng said: "If you don't abide by the rules, it's because of the collusion between the government and businessmen, covering the sky with one hand. The abject poverty is because the imperial court is fatuous, exploiting the people all over the world, and enriching private pockets. There have been many injustices in the world since ancient times. In today's world, the world is longer and the night is long. How could it be you? power can illuminate."

Duan Changya didn't refute, but said flatly: "If I can't, no one else can."

"Because you are the heir of Tianjimen?"

"Because I carry this sword on my back."

His tone was very flat, not as if he was taking an oath, but as if he was explaining the facts that should be taken for granted.Such ignorant and arrogant words spit out from his mouth without any disharmony.

Liu Hongfeng stared at his sharp eyebrows, and said: "I knew you were different from those decadent children from aristocratic families. This martial arts conference is just like your idea."

Duan Changya nodded and said, "It is indeed my proposition."

"Really?" Liu Hongfeng was surprised.

Duan Changya continued: "Today's martial arts rules are all ruled by famous families, and most of the children of famous families come from the families of officials and merchants. This cycle goes on and on, like a pool of stagnant water floating up and down. For example, my Tianji sect has been in business for hundreds of years, and it is still today. , has shown signs of exhaustion."

"You're really outspoken."

"That's the truth, and it's useless to cover it up. I hope to take advantage of Mo Xiejian's opportunity to find the master, select talented people, recruit them under my command, and together with me clean up the world and revitalize the martial arts world."

"Your plan is good, but you are not afraid that some good talent will win the first place and take the Moxie sword into his bag, so as to take the lead and set up another sect, shaking the position of Tianjimen?"

"No, because it must be me who comes out on top."

Liu Hongfeng was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "No wonder you gave up the chairmanship so generously, so you had the confidence to take it back."

Duan Changya nodded: "In terms of swordsmanship, no one in today's martial arts world can beat me."

"You convinced your father with this sentence?"

"I'm not good at arguing. Fortunately, His Royal Highness lobbied for me. That's why the three famous families jointly organized this martial arts conference. I will never allow people with ulterior motives to destroy it."

Liu Hongfeng stared at Duan Changya for a long time before asking: "Is the sword on your back very heavy, heavy?"

Duan Changya met the other party's gaze, his eyes froze, and he asked back, "Do you want to try?"

"No," Liu Hongfeng shook his head immediately, "You have too much burden on your sword, I feel physically and mentally exhausted just looking at you, and I'm carrying the world on my shoulders, as if my shoulders are about to collapse."

"Is that why you don't wear a sword?"

"Yes, so I don't wear a sword, and I won't worry about the rise and fall of the world and the decline and victory of martial arts."

Liu Hongfeng's tone suddenly revealed a bit of sadness.

One is as firm as a rock, and the other is as insignificant as floating clouds. The distance between them is as far away as the distance between the sky and the earth, and it is as difficult to reach.

Duan Changya asked again: "Since that's the case, why did you help me chase the murderer?"

Liu Hongfeng smiled: "Of course it's to chase you after you. It's strange. Haven't I emphasized enough times? Then I'll say it again."

Duan Changya: "..."

Liu Hongfeng leaned a few steps closer to the target, almost touching the other's shoulder: "Chang Ya, I am deeply impressed by your ideals, and even love you a little more than the day before, not only admiring you I admire your mind and talent even more, and I am deeply attracted by you all the time, what should I do?"

Duan Changya quietly hid aside: "...you can figure it out."

Liu Hongfeng posted it again: "Go slowly, so that I can appreciate your figure carefully."

The man who was being pursued sighed, and said: "You don't have to act on me. Although I don't have many friends, if you help the good man, you will be my friend Duan Changya. Yan Xu"

Liu Hongfeng was stunned for a moment, only felt a chilly wind passing through his chest, this man's gaze was as cold as iron, reflecting his thoughts clearly.

He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the other party affectionately: "What I said to you is not acting, every sentence is sincere. I can prove it to you right now, beauty Duan—"

"...No need."

"Little Yaya~"

"..."

Duan Changya stopped talking to him, but walked faster.

No matter how gloomy it is at night, the Huichuan Riverside is still a magnificent sight during the day.With the sound of the wind and the sound of the water, the Longyin waterfall pours from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, just like the Milky Way pouring from the nine heavens.

Hearing is sound, seeing is fine. Heaven and earth have never experienced sorrow and joy, nor do they know how to pity the rise and fall of the world, the ups and downs of ups and downs.

Liu Qian walked between such a world.

Looking at the two figures in front of him going further away, he felt more and more flustered in his heart, but his feet were getting harder, so he couldn't help biting his lips tightly.

Jin E, who was walking beside him, noticed his nervousness, turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qian complained: "These two guys are walking faster and faster, and they don't even think about you and me following behind. They really don't know how to be sympathetic."

Jin'e said softly: "It's okay, I'm not tired, but you are starving, hold on for a while, let's go faster, and we can eat meat sooner."

Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said: "...I'm just talking, I'm not really greedy, and I won't eat myself into a meat ball."

Jin E smiled and said, "You are still growing, so it's only natural to be greedy, so don't feel ashamed."

Liu Qian's cheeks flushed red, he hurriedly lowered his head, trying to hide the panic on his face.

He hangs out with Liu Hongfeng on weekdays. Although Liu Hongfeng treats him well, he can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and he never said such warm words to comfort him.

Jin'e is different.

Yesterday in the Nightingale Song Building, Jin'e's face was covered with a thick layer of rouge and powder, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of charm, and her gestures were full of charm. It's a pity that children can't read or see through. They only think that she is rigid and alienated .But at this moment, her face was covered with dust, the color of the rouge faded, revealing her original appearance, her undrawn eyebrows and eyes stretched slightly, like the treetops blown by the breeze, making Liu Qian's heart flutter, often Can't help but peek at her appearance.

Jin'e was not annoyed, and let him look at her enough. Liu Qian was intoxicated by the faint, natural fragrance on her body, and an indescribable nostalgia grew in her heart.

Liu Qian looked at it for a while, smelled it for a while, her cheeks became hotter, and she finally couldn't help asking: "...Why are you so nice to me?"

Jin'e showed surprise, but quickly stretched her eyebrows and replied: "Since you call me mother, I should naturally love you well."

Liu Qiandao: "That's just a joke, it's not real, besides you are still so young..."

Jin E chuckled and said, "Thank you for your praise, but I'm not young anymore. In terms of age, it's okay to be your mother."

Liu Qian rolled his eyes, raised his hand and pointed forward, and said confidently: "What's the use of age, you see that guy is not young anymore, he's still not serious."

Jin'e laughed out loud this time, and her laughter was clearer and clearer than the sound of returning to Sichuan water by the roadside.

She said: "Mr. Feng has many difficulties. He often says what he doesn't mean, but he misses you very much. Xiaoqian, you are a good boy. You must accompany him well."

"Of course I know," Liu Qian raised her cheeks, "If it wasn't for thinking about how conscientious this guy is, who would follow him around and suffer."

Jin'e smiled, nodded, and put a hand on Liu Qian's shoulder.

Liu Qian felt his nose sore and his cheeks unbearably hot, his slender hands were so soft, with just the right amount of warmth in his palms, he couldn't help but want to get closer, to throw himself into her arms, He hugged her tightly and buried his face in her arms.

He has never seen the appearance of his biological mother, and he has never thought of looking for it. Behind the wind and moon in Huajie and Liuxiang, there are countless babies who have been drowned and strangled to death. It is a great luck for him to survive, and he has never expected more.He didn't want a scene to end, but a few mother-in-law yells broke his heartstrings.

Fate in the world often comes so suddenly and so unreasonably.

Liu Qian lowered her head to her chest to hide her flushed cheeks.Jin'e turned her head to look at him, and accidentally saw a shiny ornament hanging around his neck.

It was a round piece of jasper, with an unsophisticated and thick emerald color, which he randomly buried in the skirt of his clothes, and fell between the two collarbones. You had to look carefully to see the outline clearly.

"What a beautiful jade pendant." She praised.

"Oh, you're talking about this?" Liu Qian's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled the jade pendant out of his neck, and took it off with both hands, "This is the amulet I've been wearing since childhood, do you want to see it?"

Before Jin'e could refuse, he offered the jade pendant with both hands, eagerly waiting for the other party's response like offering a treasure.

Jin'e took it, raised it up to her eyes and examined it carefully, the jade pendant was in the shape of a pair of butterflies, and the two pairs of hollowed-out butterfly wings met at the tips, just forming a circle.There are many patterns on the butterfly wings, but the carving is uneven, the butterfly on the left is larger, the butterfly on the right is smaller, and the wing of the butterfly on the left covers half a circle. Although it does not affect the integrity, it is still a flaw that cannot be ignored.

Such a piece of flawed jade is destined not to sell for a good price.

Liu Qian didn't understand, but just showed off in a courteous tone: "It looks good, I know this jade must be priceless, but I want to keep it for myself and not sell it to others."

Jin'e didn't respond to his words, just looked at the jade pendant in her hand, opened her eyes wide, and remained silent for a long time.Seeing it, Liu Qian saw that a tendon was bent again, and said without thinking, "Although it's not for sale, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Jin E finally turned her eyes to him and asked, "Why is there a scar on this jade?"

Where her thumb had rubbed, a sudden scratch just passed the wing of the big butterfly on the left.

"I don't know, it's always been like this anyway. Liu Hongfeng told me that this scar was left by Da Die to protect Xiao Die, and it's an auspicious sign."

After Liu Qian finished speaking, she found that Jin'e was still surprised, and she couldn't help but thumped: "That beast didn't lie to me, I'll go and settle accounts with him—!"

"No." Jin E hurriedly pressed Liu Qian's shoulder: "Young Master Feng is right, this is indeed an auspicious sign."

"Oh," Liu Qian stopped, retreated to Jin'e, lowered her head and peeked at Jin'e from the corner of her eye: "Then... I'll give it to you."

Jin'e's expression has returned to her usual appearance, she shook her head, and said softly: "No, you'd better wear it, let it bless you to grow up safely."

As she said that, Jin E bent her knees, squatted down in front of him, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and hung the jade pendant back around his neck.

She moved cautiously, as if she was afraid of hurting the child in front of her.

The jade pendant had fallen back between Liu Qian's collarbone, but Jin'e's hand was still hanging on the side of his neck, and her slender fingertips gently stroked his cheek.

"Xiao Qian..."

"Ok?"

"In the future, you will also become a handsome adult, just like Mr. Feng."

Liu Qian was stunned, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm not like him, I... I like beautiful sisters. At least I have to be like Young Master Duan, but if Young Master Duan is entangled by him, it may be too late It's..."

Hearing his nonsense, Jin E finally laughed softly: "You are still a child, don't just imitate adults."

"I didn't say anything nonsense," Liu Qian argued, "I can hear everything in the brothel, I've seen everything, and I understand everything."

The expression on Jin'e's face froze, and her hand retracted as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Liu Qian realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately waved her hand and said: "I mean... there are often villains haunting the brothel, if someone bullies you in the future, please tell me. I will deal with him." Seeing that Jin'e was still not happy He added in a hurry, "...Although I still have to rely on that beast for help now, when I grow up, I will never let you be wronged. When the martial arts conference is over, you can go with us, okay... "

Jin'e looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "If everything is safe, it's not too late to make a plan."

"Yeah." Liu Qian nodded and said nothing.

He secretly thought in his heart that he probably said too much just now, which made Jin'e silent.He used his spare time to move forward, seeing Liu Hongfeng chasing steadily while Duan Changya dodged, he immediately recognized a truth - talking too much would be tiresome.

He didn't want to offend Jin'e, so he simply bit his lip and didn't speak anymore.

The two walked side by side, and Jin'e put her hand on his shoulder again.And he lowered his head again.

There was no difference between the posture of the two of them.

But what he didn't know was that Jin'e's gaze towards him had changed. When he was deep in thought, his eyes were filled with deep melancholy, like a bottomless pond, silently drowned him.

From childhood to adulthood, Duan Changya has never been short of money in his pocket, nor has he been short of money in his stomach.Walking the rivers and lakes, exchanging money for meat, for him, it is really easier than breathing.

However, the scene in the town made him dumbfounded.

The street market, which was still bustling and noisy yesterday, was unexpectedly quiet at this moment, and not a single shop was open.Occasionally someone passed by, but they all stuck to the base of the wall, lowered their heads to hide their faces, and walked in a hurry, as if the ground under their feet had turned into red-hot iron, and if they stayed for a while, the soles of their shoes would be ignited.

Duan Changya tried to talk to him several times, but all ended in vain. Even though he was well dressed and looked like a high-class customer, no shopkeeper opened the door to greet him.

Only a wild dog passed by him.

The terrain on the island was sloping, and the wild dog climbed up along his feet until it reached the end of the stone steps, and then slowly turned its head and glanced at him.

The wild dog had a half-finished meaty bone in its mouth, and its eyes were quite haughty.

Liu Hongfeng narrowed his eyes, staring at the mighty figure of the wild dog, and murmured: "Is it my illusion? Did it snort just now?"

Liu Qian also raised her head, and her voice was almost crying: "Even dogs have bones in their mouths, but we can have birds in our mouths."

The wild dog walked away with the bone in its mouth, leaving the four stunned people behind.

Duan Changya touched the jingling silver in his pocket, raised his eyes and looked far away, trying to find an open shop.The wind that passed through the city blew on his face, as if blowing across a calm water, leaving a few undulating wrinkles between his brows.

He stopped outside the door of a tavern, took a deep breath, put his knuckles on the door, and knocked loudly three times.

He poured his inner energy into this knock, concentrating on his fingertips, and the sound of the knock was sonorous and powerful, even if he stood ten feet away, he could hear it clearly.

However, there was no response from the archway that was just a short distance away.

He knocked three more times, and then three more times. The old door trembled slightly, shaking off some thatch on the eaves, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves also swayed from side to side, but there was still no one in the room. Answer the door.

Liu Qian stood beside him and asked, "Is there really no one inside?"

"No," Liu Hongfeng shook his head, rubbed his chin and said, "It just rained heavily last night. You can see that there is still a layer of wet mud on the bluestone board in front of this door, and there are still footprints on the surface of the wet mud."

Liu Qian still did not give up, and asked: "So?"

Liu Hongfeng explained patiently: "The direction of the footprints is only in, not out. Unless the people in the yard fly out with wings, there must be someone inside. Unless the people inside are all deaf, they must have heard the sound of knocking on the door."

"Oh." Liu Qian reluctantly responded, and then turned his attention to Duan Changya for help.

Duan Changya shook his head and said, "The store doesn't want to open the door, so I have nothing to do."

Liu Hongfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "It turns out that there are things in this world that Mr. Duan can't help."

Duan Changya said: "Of course, you are still standing by my side as an example."

Liu Hongfeng opened his mouth into a circle, looked at the other party as if looking at a monster, and said after a while: "My long life, you praise me like this, it seems that I have to stay by my side wholeheartedly."

Duan Changya sighed, and said: "You have to give up and I will have nothing to do with you, but it's a pity that you stay by my side, you can only starve with me."

"It's nothing to be hungry," Liu Hongfeng put on an awe-inspiring attitude, "I am willing to share weal and woe with you, to be together forever, to be forever together...Xiao Yaya, have you seen my sincerity?" Island; Xi; alone; home.

Duan Changya: "I only saw that wild dog folded back and made some strange noises."

Liu Hongfeng: "..."

Liu Qian saw the two flirting with each other, chirping at each other, angry at each other, and ran between the two with a brisk walk, and said angrily: "I don't care if you two are willing to starve, but I can't let sister Jin'e suffer too. Come on, think of a way."

Liu Hongfeng looked innocent: "There is no way, you see, this door is old, and the lock pin is useless, otherwise, if you kick it open, the people inside must answer the door tremblingly, crying and burning meat for you." .”

Liu Qian rolled her eyes and said, "How can that be possible? I'm a good person, how can I bully this store just for eating meat? What kind of bad idea did you come up with?"

Liu Hongfeng spread his hands and said, "Look, if you want to be a good person, you have to endure more troubles than if you are a wicked person. Don't blame me for having bad ideas. That's how the rules of the world are."

Liu Qian glared at him, then leaned back to Jin'e's side, pouted and said, "Even so, I can't be a villain."

Jin'e put her hand on the top of his head and rubbed it, then turned to the other two, and said, "Young Master Feng, don't worry about me, I still have strength, let's try another one."

Liu Hongfeng immediately put on an obedient expression, and said, "Okay, just listen to my sister."

Duan Changya also nodded, and was about to leave.

"Hey, wait," Liu Hongfeng remembered the other party's bad deeds, and hurriedly stopped in front of him, saying, "Let me lead the way."

Together, the four of them took another step forward.

The wild dogs on the slope had finished gnawing their bones, and looked at their busy figures in a dull way.

Yingzhou Island used to be a deserted island. The island was shrouded in damp mist all the year round and was uninhabited. People on land called it Xianzhou.Later, someone discovered that the clear spring water on the island was suitable for forging iron and swords, so they reclaimed wasteland and settled down on the island.These people are the ancestors of the Yan family and the founders of the No. [-] sword casting village in Wulin.Later, people followed Yan's footsteps and moved to the island one after another, either to avoid the war, or to seek business, or to learn from teachers. Relying on these pioneers, Yingzhou Island gradually evolved into what it is today.

Wharfs, markets, high towers, and archways are all the results of a century of business accumulation, but it's a pity that it only takes one night.Then he returned to the deserted and desolate look before.

The four of them almost walked Yangliupo back and forth, and after being shut down countless times, they finally found nothing and turned back to the original place.

The wild dog left long ago, leaving behind a pile of bones, as if mocking the rumbling stomachs of the four.

Duan Changya turned his gaze to the mountain, as if he was thinking of other ways.If he turns back to Tianji Gate, all the disciples will not let the young master starve, but his friends may not be treated politely.

He looked at Liu Hongfeng's profile, wondering how to measure it in his heart, somehow, he realized that he didn't want to see this person being treated coldly, bowing his head and being humiliated.In his heart, it seemed that Liu Hongfeng should be dancing and shining like a ball of fire, burning the old and decayed things into ashes as his figure passed by, and the fire would burn brighter and more intensely by taking advantage of the situation.

Hot and uninhibited, it seems that this person should be like.

When he was hesitating, there was a creaking sound from the direction of the chaiyuan, the chaimen didn't move, but a crack appeared in the window next to it.

A small head protruded from the gap, casting a pair of curious eyes on him.

The owner of the gaze was a boy, hiding across the window, with half of his face buried in the shadows.

He looks about the same age as Liu Qian, but his complexion is darker, and his cheeks are full of deep and shallow freckles, which make his childishness more obvious.

Duan Changya met his gaze, and was about to start a conversation, but he waved his hand hastily, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture, then turned his head and glanced into the room.After confirming that there was no one behind him, he turned his gaze back to Duan Changya.

He struggled to open his eyes wide, looked at Duan Changya's appearance, and asked in a low voice, "Are you a hero?"

Duan Changya showed surprise: he was stunned for a moment, and just about to utter the words "I dare not be it" when another hand grabbed his shoulder fiercely.

It was Liu Hongfeng, the latter choked his words back, leaned closer to him, said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, you have found the right person, he is the indomitable hero Duan."

The child turned his gaze to Liu Hongfeng, narrowed his eyes, and showed a suspicious look: "Really?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, take a closer look at his appearance. His facial features are clean and straight, his teeth are red, his eyebrows fly into his temples, he is a model of a hero. If he is not a hero, no one in the world would dare to call himself such a hero. "

Liu Hongfeng spoke with confidence, without any guilt.After all, it was because the cowhide was not blown on him, and the face did not need the other party's efforts.

The child was really intimidated by him, and turned his eyes to Duan Changya again, but his tone was much more respectful, and he said cautiously: "Hero, are you here for a drink at my house?"

Duan Changya nodded and said, "Yes."

Liu Hongfeng added from the side: "Duan Daxia chased the murderer all night last night, and he was tired.
