Dark night, bright red blood, cold corpses and helpless children.

When Ding Jun and Lu Tage rushed over, they saw this scene. The crowd of onlookers had already surrounded the Lin family. Four or five people reported to the officials, but only one person stepped forward.

Under the light of the fire, Lu Tage could clearly see the eye-catching red dress.

"It's a sword wound. He just died not long ago. He suffered a lot of torture before he died." Dongfang Bubai stood in front of the crying child lying on the ground with his arms folded, his tone so calm that it was cold.

The boy was trembling all over, choked with crying, unable to speak anything, the fire and the crowd dispelled his fear, but increased his helplessness.

Dongfang Bubai actually stood there watching him cry.

Lu Tage frowned slightly, and stepped forward to help the child up.

Dongfang Bubai stretched out his hand to stop him.

The man looked coldly at the children on the ground, just looked at them coldly, and then slowly said, "How long do you cry, they are all dead."

Lu Tage looked at Dongfang Bubai in shock, it was the first time he heard someone talk to a child who lost his parents like this.

The man in red didn't look at him anymore, he just kicked Lin Pingzhi with the toe of his boot, "Do you want to continue crying?"

"...he's only eight years old." Lu Tage didn't understand what Dongfang Bubai meant, and stood in a stalemate with the man in red, disapproving.

"So what about eight years old? I was only in my early ten years old when I lost my parents and joined the divine religion, not to mention he has enemies." Dongfang Bubai motioned to Lu Tage to see the sword wounds on the two corpses of a man and a woman on the ground and said, "I was still in my early years. I was wondering why I met Zuo Lengchan here, but now I understand. He has the same purpose as us, but what Zuo Lengchan did was a little more extreme."

"Zuo Lengchan..." Lin Pingzhi raised his head, his face was still full of tears, but he gritted his teeth word by word, "Did that Zuo Lengchan do it?!"

Dongfang Bubai snorted.

If it weren't for Lu Tage, a guy who doesn't fit in with God's religion, Dongfang Bubai originally planned to seize the sword manual and kill the whole family. Have a sadistic hobby.

According to Lin Zhennan's character at noon today, when Zuo Lengchan came to ask for the sword manual, he would only hold the cassock with both hands faster than facing himself. Logically speaking, Zuo Lengchan should at least give it a good time if the other party is obedient. Not so.

The man turned his eyes around Lin Pingzhi again, feeling a little emotional.

Lin Zhennan's old fritters must have thought that someone would come to snatch the sword manual if it was exposed. I'm afraid he started packing his things in the afternoon and planned to leave. He just wanted to ensure his son's safety to the greatest extent. He probably sent the child to another place in advance to escape the catastrophe. .

Dongfang Bubai looked at Lu Tage and Ding Jun again, and said, "Not only Zuo Lengchan, but also a group of elite disciples of the Songshan Sect. You are not a good enemy, and you will not be able to repay it overnight."

The boy couldn't help trembling as he looked at the bloody corpses of his family members on the ground.

There were chaotic footsteps and noise behind him, Dongfang Bubai glanced back, saw that he was dressed as a government official, waved his folding fan and said, "Some grievances will never be repaid in a lifetime, some vengeances will take a lifetime to avenge, and some vengeances, whether to repay or not to repay , between your thoughts."

He left without saying anything, without stopping.

Lu Tage looked at the officials rushing up, fell silent for a while, then knelt down and patted the child's head.

"If you have something to do, go to that inn." He raised his neck to indicate the place where the three of them lived not far away, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

As soon as the words fell, the boy finally couldn't restrain the sadness and fear in his heart, hugged the arm of the young man from the Western Regions with both hands, and cried loudly.

The last one who hugged him and cried was Wan Yankang.

Lu Tage was no longer at a loss this time, and he even rubbed the child's limp hair with ease, and explained to the immature child in a low voice, "It seems that the big brother just meant, you can go to him to teach you martial arts Help you avenge."

In fact, he could also directly help the child to avenge his revenge, but after weighing the pros and cons, he might as well help him worship Dongfang Bubai as his teacher.

Although I don't know Dongfang Bubai's considerations for recruiting apprentices, it's just that this child can't support a bodyguard agency where all the bodyguards and servants have been killed. An eight-year-old child has no power to survive and protect himself. If he is begging along the street, he may be taken away by traffickers existence of weakness.

Dongfang Bubai is a proud person, at least he will not kill an eight-year-old child and use the excuse of teaching him martial arts, his pride will not allow him to do so.

Therefore, following Dongfang Bubai, Lin Pingzhi is absolutely safe in a short period of time.

What's more, the Jade Heart Sutra he gave this child is also quite good in martial arts. Even if the child's talent is mediocre, Dongfang Bubai only wants to classify him as a subordinate instead of taking him as an apprentice, it is enough to become... well, according to Wan Yankang's The ability of the world's quacks can be counted, and it is not a problem to be a middle-class quack.

Ding Jun watched this scene and shook his head slightly.

Ever since he was infected with Ice Cicada Gu, Lu Tage has been in charge of Hongshui Banner's general affairs and arranging tasks for his disciples all year round. After so many years, it has become a habit to take care of others.

Speaking of it, this is what he should do as a master.

"Let's go." Ding Jun said when he saw the people from the government surrounding him.

Lu Tage nodded, seeing Lin Pingzhi let go of Ding Jun's words obediently, and sighed after a moment of silence, the more he liked the child.

"If you like him, it's okay to accept him as an apprentice." When walking back, Ding Jun suddenly said, "I see that your system is quite capable. Since it can send us here, it's not a bad idea to take this child away." Difficult."

The people from the Western Regions laughed when they heard the words, and shook their heads and said, "Thank you, Master, it's just that Tage doesn't want to accept apprentices yet."

Ding Jun glanced at him, and after a while he realized what Lu Tage was thinking.

Taking in apprentices means not only dealing with Hongshui Banner's affairs but also teaching apprentices, making him three points busier than before, and reducing the time spent serving him.

"...as a teacher, I won't give you tasks anytime and anywhere," Ding Jun said.

Lu Tage said in his heart that he did not often give him tasks, but in the original world, Master, you are not in good health, and it is not convenient for the junior sister to be clumsy. Look at your hair now compared to before the apprentice left. Quite a lot.

But in the face of Ding Jun's very strong self-esteem, Lu Tage said, "It's Tage who doesn't want to leave Master."

"Ridiculous." Ding Jun stopped in his tracks, "You have healthy limbs, you are skilled in martial arts and you are not sick, weak, and stupid. How can you still be childish at this age?"

"Master." Lu Tage said, under the dim candlelight in the corridor of the inn, his eyes were soft, his brows were gentle, and the smile on his lips was the opposite of firm persistence. People from the Western Regions still inevitably have a slight rise in the end of the Central Plains dialect. The voice is soft but serious, "I live for you."

The last time he said this was when he was seven or eight years old and just worshiped under Ding Jun.

At that time, Ding Junquan thought it was a child's joke, he didn't take it to heart, and only responded lightly.Now that the years are retrograde, more than ten years have passed, and the old memories overlap with the current scene. The young child has become a young man, and his expression is no different from the past.

It was as if something suddenly boiled up, making him short of breath for a moment.

"boom."

"..." Lu Tage touched the tip of his nose that was a little sore from being bumped, and looked at the closed door in front of him, with an unavoidable look of doubt.

Did he say something wrong... He actually provoked Ding Jun to lock him out?

Looking at the quiet corridor and the closed door of the Dongfang Bubai House, the people from the Western Regions innocently sat down against the pillar with their swords in their hands.

Sure enough, Master's habit of not wanting to sleep in the same room is still there, it seems that tonight he really can only sleep in the corridor.
