Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Chapter 103: Helping in times of need

When Zuo Feng turned around, he happened to see Uncle Tian's smiling face, and the look he looked at him seemed to have profound meaning, which made Zuo Feng a little surprised.

But Zuo Feng pointed at the people inside with an unchanging expression and asked: "Didn't you say the fourteenth Silver Guard? Why are there fifteen of them?"

Uncle Tian obviously did not expect Zuo Feng to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly and said: "There is a person there who is the newly adopted son of Dongjun, the governor of the county. Besides him, he happens to be the 14th Yin Guarded.”

As Uncle Tian spoke, he pointed toward the courtyard with his hand. The person he pointed at was the sturdy young man wearing a silver mask that Zuo Feng had felt familiar before.

Hearing that this sturdy man wearing a mask was the newly adopted son of the county governor, Zuo Feng couldn't help but become more interested and couldn't help but stand outside the door and take a few more glances.

"We are practicing martial arts here, please don't disturb us."

Someone inside noticed the two people outside the door. One of the Silver Guards looked unhappy. When he saw Uncle Tian inside, his expression softened slightly, but he still spoke with a dissatisfied tone.

Zuo Feng also felt embarrassed, and finally couldn't help but glance at the masked man again, and then hurriedly left the courtyard with Uncle Tian. Not long after the two of them left, they heard a heavy door slam. Apparently those people had closed the courtyard door.

Although Zuo Feng was extremely curious, he also saw that Uncle Tian seemed to want to continue on this topic intentionally. Zuo Feng instinctively felt that this might be a troublesome matter, so he simply suppressed his strong curiosity and deliberately stopped asking.

The two of them actually walked forward in silence for a quarter of an hour in this strange atmosphere. Just when Uncle Tian couldn't help it anymore and wanted to continue talking, a petite figure suddenly appeared at the end of the path.

When this petite figure appeared, Zuo Feng's face immediately showed a trace of softness. Then this petite figure came quickly and jumped into Zuo Feng's arms.

"If Tiantian doesn't cry, isn't my brother back?"

The person who came was none other than Zuo Feng's sister Zuo Tiantian. At this time, Tiantian's face was full of tears. While crying, he beat Zuo Feng's chest with his small fists. It took a while to stop crying, but he still said with sobs.

"Brother, where did you go? Dad was injured by bad guys, and they bullied me."

Zuo Feng lovingly stroked his sister's hair and whispered, "It's okay, brother is back. Who bullied Tian Tian? Brother will never let go of those who hurt dad."

Uncle Tian interjected from the side: "Those people are ordinary little gangsters. The guards of the mansion have already taken action to deal with them when they arrived. It's just that they were too erratic in their actions and did not leave any survivors, so they were not traced. The person behind the scenes.”

Zuo Feng didn't care too much about this, because he could guess the person behind the scenes with his knees. While helping my sister wipe the tears on her face, I checked my sister's injuries.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng said in surprise: "Hey, sister, have you started practicing?"

My sister didn't care at all about Zuo Feng's surprise, and said casually: "I don't know, I can suddenly feel that my body can absorb spiritual energy."

Uncle Tian seemed to remember something at this time and said: "Ever since Tiantian was injured, she has begun to improve. Although she is only at the second level of the strong body stage, she does not seem to know any skills at all. We have also looked for I gave her some exercises to practice, but she couldn't practice them at all, but her cultivation was slowly improving at a certain speed."

After listening to what Uncle Tian said, Zuo Feng looked at his sister with some surprise. Shen Die once said before that her sister's physique is not that she cannot practice, but her constitution is too special. She can only practice by finding suitable techniques. But now she can continuously improve her strength without using techniques. Don't say Zuo Feng didn't listen. However, from Uncle Tian's tone, he didn't seem to understand the reason.

At this moment, Zuo Feng finally understood why the city lord Anxiong paid so much attention to his sister. After hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng said to Uncle Tian on the side: "Uncle Tian, ​​I want to take my sister home first."

Uncle Tian nodded slightly and was about to speak when suddenly another woman's voice sounded: "Why are you taking Tiantian away just after you came back?"

Hearing this voice, Zuo Feng couldn't help but frown. He had already recognized that the speaker was the eldest lady Anya. He turned around and said with a wry smile: "Miss, thank you for taking care of my sister during this time."

"Who cares about your thanks? Just get out of here if you have nothing to do."

Zuo Feng shook his head helplessly. Although this unruly young lady was unforgiving, she had a good heart. Zuo Feng's words of thanks were not polite, but came from the bottom of his heart.

He bowed slightly and saluted Anya, then turned back to say hello to Uncle Tian, ​​and pulled his sister back to the way they came. When Tiantian left, he didn't forget to turn around and wave goodbye to Anya. When Anya's eyes fell on Tiantian, she still showed a trace of reluctance, but then she forced a smile.

"Brother, can I still come here to play with Sister Anya in the future?"

"Of course, why do you ask?"

Tiantian asked as he walked, Zuo Feng answered with a smile, and then asked casually.

"But why does sister Anya seem to dislike you so much?"

Zuo Feng shook his head helplessly. He didn't even know the reason for this. If there was any way he had offended this unruly woman, Zuo Feng couldn't think of it even if he tried hard. But he couldn't explain clearly, but every time he saw this unruly woman, he subconsciously wanted to get away as soon as possible.

Anya stood there at this time, looking at the two figures, one large and one small. When her eyes fell on Zuo Feng's thin back, she seemed to be relieved and murmured: "You are finally back safely. "

After saying that, he ignored Uncle Tian who was secretly looking at him from the side, a blush flashed across his face, he turned and ran towards the other side of the path.

In the backyard of the shop in Zuojia Village, Zuo Feng and the fifth elder were sitting opposite each other with serious faces. After a long while, the fifth elder sighed slightly and said, "Hey, I didn't expect that they would not be alive to join us in the end."

The fifth elder is an old man about fifty years old. He is dressed in a long gown that looks like a shopkeeper. He has been in charge of this shop for a period of time. At this time, the old man seemed to be a little older. There were tears flashing in the corners of his wrinkled eyes, and the violent rise and fall of his chest could also show the old man's inner peace at this time.

"How are their funeral arrangements going?"

After a while, the old man asked in a hoarse voice.

Zuo Feng glanced at the five elders in front of him with a complicated expression and said: "Several elders are buried at the foot of the hillside outside the village, and other villagers who stayed behind are also buried by the river outside the village."

Zuo Feng did not tell the details of what happened after leaving the city this time, not because he did not trust the fifth elder, but because if he told them in detail, it would only increase the old man's troubles.

"Hey, you did the right thing. You can't let the villagers expose their corpses and be eaten by wild beasts."

Zuo Feng knew the old man's mood at this time. The remaining elders had all grown up with him since childhood. This feeling even surpassed the love he had for his master Teng Xiaoyun, so after Zuo Feng hesitated for a while, he changed the topic and asked casually.

"Why did I come back this time and find that the store's business was so bleak, it seemed like no one came at all, and there was dust everywhere on the counter."

Hearing Zuo Feng ask this question, the fifth elder sighed again and said: "Hey, this old shop really can't continue to operate."

Zuo Feng's heart moved, and a bad premonition lingered in his heart, so he asked eagerly: "What's going on?"

The fifth elder was obviously still immersed in sadness. He shook his head and said, "It's useless to tell you these things. It will only increase your troubles."

Zuo Feng was a little anxious, and his voice could not help but be raised a bit, and he continued to ask: "Come on, tell me, even if I can't solve it, have you forgotten my current relationship with the City Lord's Mansion?"

The Fifth Elder finally reacted when he heard Zuo Feng mentioning the City Lord's Mansion, and then spoke slowly and solemnly.

"Ever since the last time someone caused trouble in the old house and your father was injured, there have suddenly been several more local goods shops on this street."

Zuo Feng's heart sank, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed Na Zhang Yu, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen patiently. The fifth elder paused for a moment, then continued.

"Our shop is already very small, and it is located on such a side street. There are not many customers on weekdays. This time, suddenly there were four more shops selling mountain products at the entrance and end of the street. , after that we could barely get half a customer.”

The fifth elder slowed down and continued with some dejection: "It's a pity that the village chief's hard work, this shop will only be sold at a low price in a few days. Although the price is lower, at least it can provide some relief. The village is under pressure now. You also know that we have always relied on people to make a living. Now that people have moved into the city, it is impossible to get goods, and the money brought from the village has been almost spent. "

Zuo Feng felt relieved when he heard this. At this time, he and the City Lord's Mansion were in a neither awkward nor embarrassing situation. Having just rejected someone's solicitation, he turned around and shamelessly asked for help. Apparently Zuo Feng still felt conflicted from the bottom of his heart. After listening to the fifth elder's explanation, he realized that it was just "no money".

Although Zuo Feng is not rich now, he still has some assets, so when he heard this, his face softened and he said with a smile.

"Fifth Elder, if these are just the problems, I think they can be easily solved."

After saying that, Zuo Feng casually took a package next to him. There were a total of three packages in his hand, all of which Zuo Feng secretly took out from the Najing when no one was around before entering. After all, it was better to try not to let others know about his secret.

The fifth elder had naturally noticed the package beside Zuo Feng, but now he saw Zuo Feng's relaxed smile and handed the package to him. He also reached out for some reason and took it, but as soon as he took it, he was so heavy that he could hardly hold it.

"This, this is?" The fifth elder asked while looking at the package in surprise.
