Song of Less Danger
Chapter 13 Rain Lianjiang
The peach blossoms in Qinggang are gradually blooming, and the patches are like a sea of pink snow, and the city is also ushering in the first large-scale market in spring.
In order to celebrate the safe reincarnation of the new year, the market is held on the vernal equinox. People in the city go out with their companions, from day to night, and the lights don't fade until Xu time.
There is still no news about Xuanwu and Master.It's useless for Zheng Laoge to be anxious, he can only wait in Qinggang.He stayed in the small pharmacy for another day during the day, and when he came out with a dirty face, it was already dark outside.
He heard the hustle and bustle downstairs, and went to the railing to see that the street was brightly lit, people were coming and going, there were all kinds of stalls on the side of the road, vegetable and fruit snacks, jewelry pendants, painted clay figurines, shouting one after another.
Attracted by the excitement, Zheng Laoge lay on the railing and watched intently for a long time, and couldn't help turning around and jogging to a room door to knock, "Shaowei——"
It took a while for the door to open from the inside.Shaowei stood in front of him, but at night he was fully dressed, "What is it?"
Zheng Liaoge didn't pay attention to these details, and directly held his wrist, "There is a market downstairs, hurry up, let's go and have a look."
With an excited face, he led Shaowei and ran downstairs.Shaowei hesitated to speak, Shen Shen was dragged downstairs together by him.
In the front hall, Bai Long was sitting in front of the cabinet to settle the accounts. Seeing this, he shouted to the two of them, "Where is the young master?"
"Go to the market."
Bai Long then put down his work and followed.
Zheng Laoge and Shaowei walked in front, and Bailong swayed behind, not disturbing the two children when they went shopping.
Zheng Laoge looked left and right, and even a small wooden rabbit carving made him curious.There are many people on the street, he is afraid that he will be separated from Shaowei again, so he holds Shaowei's hand all the way.There were countless couples of men and women coming and going, and the two of them walked hand in hand in the middle, and they didn't violate the harmony at all.
Bailong followed far behind, eating a bunch of glutinous rice balls he bought casually, looking at the backs of the two of them, he muttered in his heart.
"Shaowei, look at this little bird." Zheng Liaoge was very interested in a brightly colored blue lacquered wood carving bird on the toy stand. The vendor picked up the bird and pushed a wooden shaft under the bird's buttocks. He fluttered himself.
Zheng Laoge lowered his head to look for coins in his pocket, but the money over there had already been handed over.The little bird was brought over and put into his hand, Shao Wei turned around, "Let's go."
Zheng Laoge cherished putting the little bird in the small bag, jumped to Shaowei's side and talked with him with a smile, looking very happy.Shaowei occasionally responded with a few words, but most of the time he listened in silence.
A drop of water fell on Zheng Laoge's face.It was sunny during the day, but it rained lightly at night for some reason.
The rain was falling, and the tourists on the street began to disperse slowly.Zheng Laoge was a little disappointed, so he turned around and called Shaowei, "Shaowei, let's go back too..."
A lavender oil-paper umbrella covered it, blocking the falling rain.Zheng Liaoge raised his head and saw Shaowei leaning towards him with an umbrella in his hands. After glancing at him, he turned around and handed the money to the umbrella vendor, and then said to him, "Let's go."
Zheng Liaoge chased him and walked side by side with him, the umbrella was not big, and the two of them were very close to each other with their arms close to each other.
"Shaowei." Zheng Liaoge lightly held Shaowei's cuff and looked up at him, "Aren't you having fun coming out?"
They walked across the arch bridge, the river was gurgling, and the raindrops fell on the water, creating countless ripples.Large and small lanterns strung up long light spots along the river bank, illuminating the wet bluestone bricks on the roadside.The lights are full, like fog on the water.
Shaowei stopped.
"You once said, 'The living are more important'." He said suddenly, "So you don't want revenge anymore."
Zheng Laoge was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this, and looked at him with some puzzlement.
Shaowei held an oil-paper umbrella for him, his dark eyes looked at the river, and the lights flickered in his eyes.He whispered, "Why?"
Zheng Liaoge was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I used to... I hated it too, I hated them for taking everything from me. I don't understand why I have to live like this when I have nothing left."
"But later I discovered that hatred made me forget who I am." Zheng Liaoge also looked at the lights on the river, "Forgot my parents, my brother, and why I survived... .”
"If I am blinded by hatred in the end, will that be what my parents and brother want to see?" Zheng Liaoge looked at Shaowei, with a bit of bitterness and confusion in his smile, "I always think about these questions, but never The answer. So, I don't know how to answer you."
Shaowei stood silently under the umbrella, his hands clenched into fists by his side.The rain gradually picked up and wet his shoulders.
Zheng Liaoge raised her hand to cover the back of his hand, and gently pushed the umbrella towards him.Shaowei seemed to be coming back to his senses, and met his gaze.
Zheng Laoge always looked at him so intently and seriously, with a smile on his face, as if being with him was such a happy thing.Those eyes are like snow-white stars, always shining with light, and the people in the eyes are also shining brightly.
Shaowei looked into his eyes Dingding, his eyes moved down, and fell on those soft and pale lips.He seemed to be bewitched, and for a moment he had nothing else to think about, only this person in front of him.Thin, fair and clean, wrapped in a dark thick robe, soft from hair to neck, the familiar slightly bitter medicinal fragrance has surrounded him countless times, the fragrance is like a growing vine, gradually wrapped around his whole body.
The umbrella surface is tilted, and the water drops line up and roll down.Shaowei lowered his head, their noses were about to touch each other, and they breathed warmly alternately.
Zheng Laoge blinked lightly, forgetting to breathe.
The rain obscured their figures.The heartbeat in the ear overwhelmed the sound of raindrops falling into the river, Zheng Laoge felt dizzy, and then closed his eyes.
At that moment, Shao Wei seemed to wake up from a dream, and Huo Di pulled away.Raindrops flew from the edge of the umbrella, wet his hair.
He could almost be called flustered, and the figure who turned and left fled like a loser.Zheng Liaoge was left alone holding an umbrella stupidly, looking at the direction he was leaving at a loss.
The boy sprinted all the way in the rain, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and punched a tree on the side of the road.
He was drenched like a dog drowning in the water, his breathing was heavy and undulating, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.The image of Zheng Laoge closing his eyes occupied his brain, making his blood almost boil.
Shaowei forced himself to adjust his internal breath, and when he closed his eyes, he flashed Zheng Laoge's smiling face, and the white figure holding the sword in the nightmare, under the sword was the dead soul of his father, and beside his ears was the scream of his mother.
He was gasping for breath, squatting slowly on the ground, weeping in pain with his fingers resting on his forehead, let the rain wet his whole body, and remained motionless for a long time.
The night is like a curtain, silently enveloping his lonely figure.
Linlang Porcelain Shop, Bailong sent Zheng Laage back to the door of the room.If Zheng Laoge felt something, he turned around and asked, "Bailong, what's the matter?"
Bailong looked at him with a hesitant expression on his face, Zheng Liaoge guessed what he wanted to say, blushed for a while, "...just say what you want to say."
"Young master, do you really like that wild boy?"
"He's not a wild boy, his name is Shaowei."
"That kid's origin is unknown, but he appeared next to the young master out of nowhere, and he refused to even say where his home is."
Zheng Liaoge whispered, "He has no parents, so where did he come from?"
Bailong had a big prejudice against Shaowei, so Zheng Laoge had no choice but to comfort him before sending him away. He went back to the room alone and closed the door.
He brought back the purple oil-paper umbrella, wiped it clean with a cloth, and stood it by the door.The room had already put hot water for him, Zheng Liaoge tied up his long hair, took off his clothes and entered the tub, slowly sat in the hot water, and took a deep breath.
He looked at the rising warm water mist, and the sound of rain outside the window was very quiet.He lowered his eyes and silently counted his heartbeat, feeling a little fast.
After bathing, Zheng Laoge changed into clean clothes, sat by the bed and wiped his hair.He was restless, and after drying his hair, he didn't lie down as usual, but got up and walked from the window to the corner, and then slowly walked from the corner to the window.
The packet on the table reveals a small wing.Zheng Laoge went over and took out the blue wooden carved bird from his bag, held it in his palm and looked at it for a while, then ran to the bed with the bird in his arms, and wrapped himself in the quilt.
Zheng Laoge couldn't fall asleep, so he curled up under the blanket and played with toy birds.It wasn't until the night was dark that he finally felt sleepy and fell asleep holding the little bird.
At dawn, Zheng Liaoge suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He should have slept a little longer, but for some reason he woke up early today.Zheng Liaoge dazedly sat up from the bed and stayed there for a long time. He simply had nothing to do, got up, washed his face and changed his clothes, and went downstairs to make breakfast.
He steamed two baskets of steamed buns, cooked a pot of porridge, and ran up to the second floor to knock on the door of Shaowei's room when it was almost done, "Shaowei, get up and have breakfast."
As usual, he knocked twice symbolically and pushed the door open, but when the door opened, he froze.
There is no one in the room.
All familiar traces seemed to disappear overnight.The bed was neat and clean, but empty, except for a string of cross-neck goose jade pendants beside the pillow.
Zheng Laoge walked over and picked up his jade pendant.He looked at the empty bed in a daze, then realized after a while, turned around and ran out of the room.
He went to the door of Bailong's room and knocked a few times but there was no response, "Bailong?"
The movement attracted other hidden guards of the Zheng family who were resting, and Zheng Liaoge asked, "Has Bailong gone out?"
The dark guard replied: "Young master, the boss went back to his room to rest after having some supper last night, and he hasn't gone out."
Zheng Laoge immediately pushed open the door.I saw that Bailong was sleeping on the bed, and he didn't show any sign of waking up due to such a big movement.
"Bailong." Zheng Laoge shook the white dragon, "Bailong?"
The dark guard also came up, and immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the situation, stepped forward to check Bailong's eyes and breath, his face changed, "It's a drug."
Zheng Laoge stood by the bed, holding the jade pendant, silent.The dark guard confirmed that Bai Long was fine, and said to him, "Boss is just in a coma, but it will take another hour or three quarters to wake up."
After a while, Zheng Liaoge asked softly, "How many of us are there?"
"Four people went out, and there were only three people in the shop except the boss."
"You and one person take care of Bailong." Zheng Laoge said, "The other two and I went out of the city to find someone."
He quickly changed his clothes, got on his horse and went out of the city with two hidden guards.The streets at dawn are dark blue and foggy. Although the rain has become lighter, it is colder and more soaked in bone marrow.Zheng Laoge put on the cloak and hat, wrapped his collar tightly, and his heart was beating heavily.
Life in Qingshan is leisurely, so the master sometimes teaches him how to ride a horse so that he can take him to farther places to play.Zheng Laoge didn't expect that one day this ability would be used to chase people, and he didn't know what to think for a while.
He hurried quickly, afraid that Shaowei would have left the city too far.But even if you catch up with someone, what will you say?Ask him why he left alone?Ask why Bailong was drugged?Still asking, why did you run away suddenly when you were in the market?
Or ask, your injury is not fully healed yet, why do you not cherish yourself so much?
After dawn, the gates of the city have been opened, and the outside of the city is covered with rain and fog, and all the peasants entering the city are everywhere.
The official road leads to the south, and Fushan is on the other side of the river to the north.Without even thinking about it, Zheng Laoge rushed towards the pier.
The closer to the river, the colder and heavier the drizzle.Zheng Liaoge was shivering from the cold wind, and the guard next to him said: "Young Master, let's go back! The two of us will definitely catch that kid back!"
"No." Zheng Liaoge coughed, his voice was low, "He wants to leave, I won't stop him... just want to ask some questions."
The pier was far away from the official road, and they galloped all the way until the city gate disappeared and they arrived at their destination.
There was no one on the pier in the early morning, and Zheng Laoge saw that familiar figure from a distance, with one foot already on the boat.
"Little danger!"
Zheng Laogele stopped the horse, got off the horse awkwardly, and shouted anxiously, "You are not allowed to go!"
Shaowei, who was about to board the boat, was very surprised when he heard the voice, and turned around.He was still wearing the clothes he had when he went out last night, carrying a black knife, and didn't even have a bag on his back, so he planned to leave so lightly and without saying a word.
Zheng Laoge chased to the pier, the brim of his hat was covered with raindrops, and his whole body was covered with a layer of moisture. He was shivering in the cold in the spring, and he ran panting like a poor and stubborn kitten, "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? "
Shaowei looked almost dumbfounded, the boatman urged him behind him, as if he had never heard of it, he just looked at Zheng Laoge: "What are you doing here?"
"Because you left without saying a word." Zheng Laoge was very anxious and angry, "What is this?"
Shaowei avoided his gaze, "I should go back."
"Is it okay for me to send you off?"
"I do not need."
His tone was too cold, which made Zheng Laoge look puzzled and hurt.Shaowei turned around and walked to the boat, Zheng Laoge subconsciously followed him two steps, looking at his back in despair, "Shaowei, can we meet again?"
Shaowei replied bluntly: "I don't want to meet with you."
"I......"
"I told you not to follow me—"
Before he could finish his angry words, a guard beside Zheng Laoge suddenly fell down with a muffled sound!Everyone was too late to react, only to see an iron needle hidden weapon flying from nowhere pierced the guard's throat, a cluster of blood spurted out, and the guard fell to the ground.
Shaowei turned his head abruptly.
Another guard immediately flew towards Zheng Laoge, "Be careful, young master!"
Two ghostly shadows flew over, the guards took Zheng Laoge behind him and drew his sword to fight back, one of them attacked his vitals with a knife, the move was fierce and deadly, the other covered him from behind, suddenly his sleeves trembled, and the sky filled the sky The black mist exploded!
At that moment, Shaowei instinctively ran back and shouted: "Don't put the poison!"
The guard reacted very quickly, and immediately turned around and hugged Zheng Laoge, protecting him to death, and his back was completely exposed to the enemy.
Zheng Laoge heard the sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh and blood, and it was close at hand.The guard trembled all over, and then his breath gradually weakened.
"Subordinate...the guard is not good enough." The young guard said with difficulty, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth into Zheng Luge's collar, "I'm sorry...young master. "
Shaowei stood stiffly in place, unable to take another step.Those who came were his elder brother, Nie Yin, and his master.
Behind them, a group of figures silently appeared from the forest and surrounded the two people by the pier.The boatman didn't know when he jumped into the river and fled, leaving a small boat alone hanging on the river, no one cares about it.
Zheng Laoge's mind went blank for a long time before he realized that in the blink of an eye, the two guards died in front of him.He still remembered their names, one was Lu Xin and the other was Yan Xiao.Lu Xin is younger than him, and likes to talk to him, bring him delicious food, and sometimes complains to him about how tired she is from practicing martial arts, and her body is covered in bruises and bruises.Yan Xiao was taciturn, and often stood alone in front of the shop at night, and when he saw him, he would seriously call out "young master".
"Xuanwu, how did the hidden guards of our Zheng family get together?"
"Master and Madam are kind-hearted, and they have taken in many homeless children. Some of them have good foundations, so they teach them martial arts self-defense. Later, the young master wanted to form a secret guard, and many people who were adopted by the Zheng family volunteered to follow the young master. I will be taught martial arts by the young master himself."
"you too?"
"I was abandoned by my father in the mountains when I was seven years old. I was almost eaten by wolves. It was the young master who saved me. The young master gave me food and taught me martial arts. My life belongs to the Zheng family."
Zheng Laoge touched the guard's neck with trembling fingers, the pulse there had stopped beating, "Yan Xiao... Yan Xiao?"
The body was lifted and thrown aside, Zheng Liaoge was pulled up from the ground, his hat slipped off, and cold rain fell on his hair and cheeks.Like picking up a kitten, Nie Yin stared at the pale and trembling Zheng Liaoge, a strange smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Zheng Tingxue's younger brother." He laughed uncontrollably, with an unrestrained and crazy look, "I see where are you hiding?!"
Zheng Liaoge was drenched by the rain, his whole body was damp, and his hair stuck to his wet and cold forehead.He heard a man's voice, "Nie Shaowei, after all these years, you have finally become something."
His heart sank and ached, and he only hoped that all this was a nightmare, and he would wake up from the dream when the rain stopped.
The masked man let out a deep laugh: "Disciple, why don't you see you happy after seeing Master and brother?"
Shaowei stands like a solidified statue on the misty pier.His fingers were trembling, and he couldn't even hold the knife steady.The rain also drenched him, and the drenched clothing stuck to his skin, creating a chill.
"Tie it up and take it away."
Zheng Laoge was forced to kneel on the ground, his hands were pulled behind his back and tied with ropes, his feet came to him, and he squatted down slowly.The masked man stared at him with interest, and pinched his chin, "It doesn't look like your brother at all."
Nie Yin raised his foot and was about to kick, but the man stopped him lightly, "Brother Nie, why do you do this to a child."
He waved at Shaowei again, "Teacher, don't you want to talk to your friend?"
Zheng Laoge knelt on the ground and was crushed immobile, but his eyelashes trembled when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to look aside.Before he could turn his head, his jaw was broken.The masked man smiled, let go of his hands and stood up.Immediately afterwards someone came over and sealed his eyes and mouth with a cloth.The world is completely plunged into darkness.

There is no small theater today, so thank you for reading the text!Special thanks to Nine Hundred Eight!ヽ( ̄ω ̄( ̄ω ̄〃)ゝ
In order to celebrate the safe reincarnation of the new year, the market is held on the vernal equinox. People in the city go out with their companions, from day to night, and the lights don't fade until Xu time.
There is still no news about Xuanwu and Master.It's useless for Zheng Laoge to be anxious, he can only wait in Qinggang.He stayed in the small pharmacy for another day during the day, and when he came out with a dirty face, it was already dark outside.
He heard the hustle and bustle downstairs, and went to the railing to see that the street was brightly lit, people were coming and going, there were all kinds of stalls on the side of the road, vegetable and fruit snacks, jewelry pendants, painted clay figurines, shouting one after another.
Attracted by the excitement, Zheng Laoge lay on the railing and watched intently for a long time, and couldn't help turning around and jogging to a room door to knock, "Shaowei——"
It took a while for the door to open from the inside.Shaowei stood in front of him, but at night he was fully dressed, "What is it?"
Zheng Liaoge didn't pay attention to these details, and directly held his wrist, "There is a market downstairs, hurry up, let's go and have a look."
With an excited face, he led Shaowei and ran downstairs.Shaowei hesitated to speak, Shen Shen was dragged downstairs together by him.
In the front hall, Bai Long was sitting in front of the cabinet to settle the accounts. Seeing this, he shouted to the two of them, "Where is the young master?"
"Go to the market."
Bai Long then put down his work and followed.
Zheng Laoge and Shaowei walked in front, and Bailong swayed behind, not disturbing the two children when they went shopping.
Zheng Laoge looked left and right, and even a small wooden rabbit carving made him curious.There are many people on the street, he is afraid that he will be separated from Shaowei again, so he holds Shaowei's hand all the way.There were countless couples of men and women coming and going, and the two of them walked hand in hand in the middle, and they didn't violate the harmony at all.
Bailong followed far behind, eating a bunch of glutinous rice balls he bought casually, looking at the backs of the two of them, he muttered in his heart.
"Shaowei, look at this little bird." Zheng Liaoge was very interested in a brightly colored blue lacquered wood carving bird on the toy stand. The vendor picked up the bird and pushed a wooden shaft under the bird's buttocks. He fluttered himself.
Zheng Laoge lowered his head to look for coins in his pocket, but the money over there had already been handed over.The little bird was brought over and put into his hand, Shao Wei turned around, "Let's go."
Zheng Laoge cherished putting the little bird in the small bag, jumped to Shaowei's side and talked with him with a smile, looking very happy.Shaowei occasionally responded with a few words, but most of the time he listened in silence.
A drop of water fell on Zheng Laoge's face.It was sunny during the day, but it rained lightly at night for some reason.
The rain was falling, and the tourists on the street began to disperse slowly.Zheng Laoge was a little disappointed, so he turned around and called Shaowei, "Shaowei, let's go back too..."
A lavender oil-paper umbrella covered it, blocking the falling rain.Zheng Liaoge raised his head and saw Shaowei leaning towards him with an umbrella in his hands. After glancing at him, he turned around and handed the money to the umbrella vendor, and then said to him, "Let's go."
Zheng Liaoge chased him and walked side by side with him, the umbrella was not big, and the two of them were very close to each other with their arms close to each other.
"Shaowei." Zheng Liaoge lightly held Shaowei's cuff and looked up at him, "Aren't you having fun coming out?"
They walked across the arch bridge, the river was gurgling, and the raindrops fell on the water, creating countless ripples.Large and small lanterns strung up long light spots along the river bank, illuminating the wet bluestone bricks on the roadside.The lights are full, like fog on the water.
Shaowei stopped.
"You once said, 'The living are more important'." He said suddenly, "So you don't want revenge anymore."
Zheng Laoge was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned this, and looked at him with some puzzlement.
Shaowei held an oil-paper umbrella for him, his dark eyes looked at the river, and the lights flickered in his eyes.He whispered, "Why?"
Zheng Liaoge was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I used to... I hated it too, I hated them for taking everything from me. I don't understand why I have to live like this when I have nothing left."
"But later I discovered that hatred made me forget who I am." Zheng Liaoge also looked at the lights on the river, "Forgot my parents, my brother, and why I survived... .”
"If I am blinded by hatred in the end, will that be what my parents and brother want to see?" Zheng Liaoge looked at Shaowei, with a bit of bitterness and confusion in his smile, "I always think about these questions, but never The answer. So, I don't know how to answer you."
Shaowei stood silently under the umbrella, his hands clenched into fists by his side.The rain gradually picked up and wet his shoulders.
Zheng Liaoge raised her hand to cover the back of his hand, and gently pushed the umbrella towards him.Shaowei seemed to be coming back to his senses, and met his gaze.
Zheng Laoge always looked at him so intently and seriously, with a smile on his face, as if being with him was such a happy thing.Those eyes are like snow-white stars, always shining with light, and the people in the eyes are also shining brightly.
Shaowei looked into his eyes Dingding, his eyes moved down, and fell on those soft and pale lips.He seemed to be bewitched, and for a moment he had nothing else to think about, only this person in front of him.Thin, fair and clean, wrapped in a dark thick robe, soft from hair to neck, the familiar slightly bitter medicinal fragrance has surrounded him countless times, the fragrance is like a growing vine, gradually wrapped around his whole body.
The umbrella surface is tilted, and the water drops line up and roll down.Shaowei lowered his head, their noses were about to touch each other, and they breathed warmly alternately.
Zheng Laoge blinked lightly, forgetting to breathe.
The rain obscured their figures.The heartbeat in the ear overwhelmed the sound of raindrops falling into the river, Zheng Laoge felt dizzy, and then closed his eyes.
At that moment, Shao Wei seemed to wake up from a dream, and Huo Di pulled away.Raindrops flew from the edge of the umbrella, wet his hair.
He could almost be called flustered, and the figure who turned and left fled like a loser.Zheng Liaoge was left alone holding an umbrella stupidly, looking at the direction he was leaving at a loss.
The boy sprinted all the way in the rain, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, and punched a tree on the side of the road.
He was drenched like a dog drowning in the water, his breathing was heavy and undulating, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.The image of Zheng Laoge closing his eyes occupied his brain, making his blood almost boil.
Shaowei forced himself to adjust his internal breath, and when he closed his eyes, he flashed Zheng Laoge's smiling face, and the white figure holding the sword in the nightmare, under the sword was the dead soul of his father, and beside his ears was the scream of his mother.
He was gasping for breath, squatting slowly on the ground, weeping in pain with his fingers resting on his forehead, let the rain wet his whole body, and remained motionless for a long time.
The night is like a curtain, silently enveloping his lonely figure.
Linlang Porcelain Shop, Bailong sent Zheng Laage back to the door of the room.If Zheng Laoge felt something, he turned around and asked, "Bailong, what's the matter?"
Bailong looked at him with a hesitant expression on his face, Zheng Liaoge guessed what he wanted to say, blushed for a while, "...just say what you want to say."
"Young master, do you really like that wild boy?"
"He's not a wild boy, his name is Shaowei."
"That kid's origin is unknown, but he appeared next to the young master out of nowhere, and he refused to even say where his home is."
Zheng Liaoge whispered, "He has no parents, so where did he come from?"
Bailong had a big prejudice against Shaowei, so Zheng Laoge had no choice but to comfort him before sending him away. He went back to the room alone and closed the door.
He brought back the purple oil-paper umbrella, wiped it clean with a cloth, and stood it by the door.The room had already put hot water for him, Zheng Liaoge tied up his long hair, took off his clothes and entered the tub, slowly sat in the hot water, and took a deep breath.
He looked at the rising warm water mist, and the sound of rain outside the window was very quiet.He lowered his eyes and silently counted his heartbeat, feeling a little fast.
After bathing, Zheng Laoge changed into clean clothes, sat by the bed and wiped his hair.He was restless, and after drying his hair, he didn't lie down as usual, but got up and walked from the window to the corner, and then slowly walked from the corner to the window.
The packet on the table reveals a small wing.Zheng Laoge went over and took out the blue wooden carved bird from his bag, held it in his palm and looked at it for a while, then ran to the bed with the bird in his arms, and wrapped himself in the quilt.
Zheng Laoge couldn't fall asleep, so he curled up under the blanket and played with toy birds.It wasn't until the night was dark that he finally felt sleepy and fell asleep holding the little bird.
At dawn, Zheng Liaoge suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He should have slept a little longer, but for some reason he woke up early today.Zheng Liaoge dazedly sat up from the bed and stayed there for a long time. He simply had nothing to do, got up, washed his face and changed his clothes, and went downstairs to make breakfast.
He steamed two baskets of steamed buns, cooked a pot of porridge, and ran up to the second floor to knock on the door of Shaowei's room when it was almost done, "Shaowei, get up and have breakfast."
As usual, he knocked twice symbolically and pushed the door open, but when the door opened, he froze.
There is no one in the room.
All familiar traces seemed to disappear overnight.The bed was neat and clean, but empty, except for a string of cross-neck goose jade pendants beside the pillow.
Zheng Laoge walked over and picked up his jade pendant.He looked at the empty bed in a daze, then realized after a while, turned around and ran out of the room.
He went to the door of Bailong's room and knocked a few times but there was no response, "Bailong?"
The movement attracted other hidden guards of the Zheng family who were resting, and Zheng Liaoge asked, "Has Bailong gone out?"
The dark guard replied: "Young master, the boss went back to his room to rest after having some supper last night, and he hasn't gone out."
Zheng Laoge immediately pushed open the door.I saw that Bailong was sleeping on the bed, and he didn't show any sign of waking up due to such a big movement.
"Bailong." Zheng Laoge shook the white dragon, "Bailong?"
The dark guard also came up, and immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the situation, stepped forward to check Bailong's eyes and breath, his face changed, "It's a drug."
Zheng Laoge stood by the bed, holding the jade pendant, silent.The dark guard confirmed that Bai Long was fine, and said to him, "Boss is just in a coma, but it will take another hour or three quarters to wake up."
After a while, Zheng Liaoge asked softly, "How many of us are there?"
"Four people went out, and there were only three people in the shop except the boss."
"You and one person take care of Bailong." Zheng Laoge said, "The other two and I went out of the city to find someone."
He quickly changed his clothes, got on his horse and went out of the city with two hidden guards.The streets at dawn are dark blue and foggy. Although the rain has become lighter, it is colder and more soaked in bone marrow.Zheng Laoge put on the cloak and hat, wrapped his collar tightly, and his heart was beating heavily.
Life in Qingshan is leisurely, so the master sometimes teaches him how to ride a horse so that he can take him to farther places to play.Zheng Laoge didn't expect that one day this ability would be used to chase people, and he didn't know what to think for a while.
He hurried quickly, afraid that Shaowei would have left the city too far.But even if you catch up with someone, what will you say?Ask him why he left alone?Ask why Bailong was drugged?Still asking, why did you run away suddenly when you were in the market?
Or ask, your injury is not fully healed yet, why do you not cherish yourself so much?
After dawn, the gates of the city have been opened, and the outside of the city is covered with rain and fog, and all the peasants entering the city are everywhere.
The official road leads to the south, and Fushan is on the other side of the river to the north.Without even thinking about it, Zheng Laoge rushed towards the pier.
The closer to the river, the colder and heavier the drizzle.Zheng Liaoge was shivering from the cold wind, and the guard next to him said: "Young Master, let's go back! The two of us will definitely catch that kid back!"
"No." Zheng Liaoge coughed, his voice was low, "He wants to leave, I won't stop him... just want to ask some questions."
The pier was far away from the official road, and they galloped all the way until the city gate disappeared and they arrived at their destination.
There was no one on the pier in the early morning, and Zheng Laoge saw that familiar figure from a distance, with one foot already on the boat.
"Little danger!"
Zheng Laogele stopped the horse, got off the horse awkwardly, and shouted anxiously, "You are not allowed to go!"
Shaowei, who was about to board the boat, was very surprised when he heard the voice, and turned around.He was still wearing the clothes he had when he went out last night, carrying a black knife, and didn't even have a bag on his back, so he planned to leave so lightly and without saying a word.
Zheng Laoge chased to the pier, the brim of his hat was covered with raindrops, and his whole body was covered with a layer of moisture. He was shivering in the cold in the spring, and he ran panting like a poor and stubborn kitten, "Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? "
Shaowei looked almost dumbfounded, the boatman urged him behind him, as if he had never heard of it, he just looked at Zheng Laoge: "What are you doing here?"
"Because you left without saying a word." Zheng Laoge was very anxious and angry, "What is this?"
Shaowei avoided his gaze, "I should go back."
"Is it okay for me to send you off?"
"I do not need."
His tone was too cold, which made Zheng Laoge look puzzled and hurt.Shaowei turned around and walked to the boat, Zheng Laoge subconsciously followed him two steps, looking at his back in despair, "Shaowei, can we meet again?"
Shaowei replied bluntly: "I don't want to meet with you."
"I......"
"I told you not to follow me—"
Before he could finish his angry words, a guard beside Zheng Laoge suddenly fell down with a muffled sound!Everyone was too late to react, only to see an iron needle hidden weapon flying from nowhere pierced the guard's throat, a cluster of blood spurted out, and the guard fell to the ground.
Shaowei turned his head abruptly.
Another guard immediately flew towards Zheng Laoge, "Be careful, young master!"
Two ghostly shadows flew over, the guards took Zheng Laoge behind him and drew his sword to fight back, one of them attacked his vitals with a knife, the move was fierce and deadly, the other covered him from behind, suddenly his sleeves trembled, and the sky filled the sky The black mist exploded!
At that moment, Shaowei instinctively ran back and shouted: "Don't put the poison!"
The guard reacted very quickly, and immediately turned around and hugged Zheng Laoge, protecting him to death, and his back was completely exposed to the enemy.
Zheng Laoge heard the sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh and blood, and it was close at hand.The guard trembled all over, and then his breath gradually weakened.
"Subordinate...the guard is not good enough." The young guard said with difficulty, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth into Zheng Luge's collar, "I'm sorry...young master. "
Shaowei stood stiffly in place, unable to take another step.Those who came were his elder brother, Nie Yin, and his master.
Behind them, a group of figures silently appeared from the forest and surrounded the two people by the pier.The boatman didn't know when he jumped into the river and fled, leaving a small boat alone hanging on the river, no one cares about it.
Zheng Laoge's mind went blank for a long time before he realized that in the blink of an eye, the two guards died in front of him.He still remembered their names, one was Lu Xin and the other was Yan Xiao.Lu Xin is younger than him, and likes to talk to him, bring him delicious food, and sometimes complains to him about how tired she is from practicing martial arts, and her body is covered in bruises and bruises.Yan Xiao was taciturn, and often stood alone in front of the shop at night, and when he saw him, he would seriously call out "young master".
"Xuanwu, how did the hidden guards of our Zheng family get together?"
"Master and Madam are kind-hearted, and they have taken in many homeless children. Some of them have good foundations, so they teach them martial arts self-defense. Later, the young master wanted to form a secret guard, and many people who were adopted by the Zheng family volunteered to follow the young master. I will be taught martial arts by the young master himself."
"you too?"
"I was abandoned by my father in the mountains when I was seven years old. I was almost eaten by wolves. It was the young master who saved me. The young master gave me food and taught me martial arts. My life belongs to the Zheng family."
Zheng Laoge touched the guard's neck with trembling fingers, the pulse there had stopped beating, "Yan Xiao... Yan Xiao?"
The body was lifted and thrown aside, Zheng Liaoge was pulled up from the ground, his hat slipped off, and cold rain fell on his hair and cheeks.Like picking up a kitten, Nie Yin stared at the pale and trembling Zheng Liaoge, a strange smile slowly curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Zheng Tingxue's younger brother." He laughed uncontrollably, with an unrestrained and crazy look, "I see where are you hiding?!"
Zheng Liaoge was drenched by the rain, his whole body was damp, and his hair stuck to his wet and cold forehead.He heard a man's voice, "Nie Shaowei, after all these years, you have finally become something."
His heart sank and ached, and he only hoped that all this was a nightmare, and he would wake up from the dream when the rain stopped.
The masked man let out a deep laugh: "Disciple, why don't you see you happy after seeing Master and brother?"
Shaowei stands like a solidified statue on the misty pier.His fingers were trembling, and he couldn't even hold the knife steady.The rain also drenched him, and the drenched clothing stuck to his skin, creating a chill.
"Tie it up and take it away."
Zheng Laoge was forced to kneel on the ground, his hands were pulled behind his back and tied with ropes, his feet came to him, and he squatted down slowly.The masked man stared at him with interest, and pinched his chin, "It doesn't look like your brother at all."
Nie Yin raised his foot and was about to kick, but the man stopped him lightly, "Brother Nie, why do you do this to a child."
He waved at Shaowei again, "Teacher, don't you want to talk to your friend?"
Zheng Laoge knelt on the ground and was crushed immobile, but his eyelashes trembled when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to look aside.Before he could turn his head, his jaw was broken.The masked man smiled, let go of his hands and stood up.Immediately afterwards someone came over and sealed his eyes and mouth with a cloth.The world is completely plunged into darkness.
