Go Home

There was a rich native from Langzhou on this ship, named Niu Dading, this time he planned to go to Hushuang City to celebrate his uncle's birthday. The journey was boring, so he hired a storyteller to tell stories along the way. The more you listened to him, the more he looked forward to martial arts, and the more he was eager to meet a few people in the world.

"Master Niu." The ship mate smiled on his face, "There is a hero who got on the boat late and there is no room to live in. I wonder if you can still—"

"Can you!" When Niu Dading heard the word "hero", his eyes were shining, and he put on his shoes and walked out, "I don't know where the hero is?"

"This is this one." Xiao Er quickly stretched out his finger to him.

Niu Dading looked along, and saw a man standing on the bow of the boat carrying a big ring of gold swords. He was seven feet tall and majestic. Suddenly wept with joy, and such a great **** came, not to mention that it was a place to go to the house, even if it was in ten or eight places, there were some.

So before Ah Liu could figure out what was going on, he was invited into a guest room by a group of people smiling. There are eight treasures and precious fruits on the table, the bed is piled with beautiful silk and satin, and there are veils.

"Are you satisfied with the hero?" Niu Dading asked hopefully.

A Liu sat on the luxurious bed, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "This Xiongtai, you are very righteous!" Compared to the last grey cabin just now, it was really heaven and earth.

Niu Dading chuckled, feeling as if he had become a member of the rivers and lakes, and even his back was even more straightened.

On the bottom of the cabin, Xiao Lan lay on the hard board, closing his eyes and resting.

The door of the house was half opened, and there was a light footstep, but no figure was visible. Only when you move your gaze a few minutes down can you meet a pair of eyes—a pair of eyes that are extremely inconsistent with the thin body, revealing vicissitudes and weirdness.

Is a dwarf.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Lan's tone was calm.

The dwarf said: "My aunt asked me to protect the young master."

"Protect me?" Xiao Lan snorted, noncommittal.

The dwarf asked again: "Where is the young master who is going to catch?"

Xiao Lan replied: "It's gone."

The dwarf frowned: "Run?"

"It's okay." Xiao Lan closed his eyes, "it's never too late to look for it in the city of frost."

The dwarf hesitated: "How can the young master decide that he will definitely go to Frost City?"

Xiao Lan did not answer him again.

Seeing that he was upset, the dwarf didn't ask any more questions, and slipped out the door again.

With the slight sound of footsteps getting farther and farther, Xiao Lan loosened the fist that had just been clenched, his brows darkened.

A month later, Wushuangcheng.

"Second master." Lin Wei came back from the outside, carrying wine and meat in his hands, and a small bamboo basket with pastries. The puff pastry was lit with red and bright birthday peaches and pine Tao, saying that there is a rich man in the city for his birthday. Everyone passing by the mansion will receive a basket of birthday cakes.

Lu Zhui said, "Is there any whereabouts of Ah Liu?"

"There is no mark left by him in the city." Lin Wei said, "Xu Shi hasn't arrived yet."

Lu Chai nodded, stretched out and got up from the soft couch, planning to wash his hands and eat pastry.

"But it's also a little weird." Lin Wei said again, "Aliu is by water. It should be faster than us, so why is there no news until now?"

Lu asked, "Are you worried that Xiao Lan will be disadvantageous to him?"

Lin Wei hesitated and nodded.

Lu Zhui picked up a piece of cake in his hand and asked, "For so many years, have you ever thought about leaving Ah Liu to Chaomu Ya?"

Lin Wei didn't even have to think about it: "Often." It's annoying to get upset on weekdays... His brain hurts. Not only did I think about throwing it, I even thought about gagging it before throwing it away, otherwise I will become a ghost in the future, and I guess I have to stand on my bedside and continue talking, then who can bear it.

Lu Chai smiled and said, "But for so many years, you haven't lost it, but you have been called by him. Therefore, some people are born with good fate and cannot be jealous."

...

The surname of the old man who wants to live in the city of Huoshuang is Li, and there is a nephew in Langzhou called Niu Dading. It is said that his family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and is very rich.

But looking at the birthday banquet in three days, this wealthy relative didn't even see a single figure. The dispatcher Ding craned his neck at the gate of the city and waited, but there was no carriage coming, so he was worried in his heart. Don't make trouble on the road.

Mrs. Li sighed and told her not to be ostentatious and keep a low profile. Dressed in silk and silk, with a big belly, and accompanied by a dozen yellow golden nanmu boxes, the robbers would rob him if he didn't.

"Sneezes!" Niu Dading sneezed as he was chanting, smiling at A Liudao, "You see, brother Xian, this is Wushuang City."

With a big knife on his shoulders, Ah Liu stood in front of the city gate with his legs crossed, surrounded by a circle of family members, he was extraordinary and majestic.

Xiao Lan: "..."

"Go!" Ah Liu put his arm around his shoulder and said boldly, "Let's enter the city!"

Xiao Lan rubbed his temples, and was dragged by him to stagger, and he couldn't understand why this person could not only get into the upper room, but also get a rich man to be the big brother.

A Liuda swaggered into the city, feeling that Dad was really good to him. The arranged errand not only has wine and meat, but also satin clothes. When I arrived at the Li Mansion, I was even more dazzled. I wanted to steal the gilt decorations in the guest room. After touching it for a long time, I finally reluctantly let it go back, full of regret.

In the second half of the night, a thin rain and snow fell in the city.

Ah Liu jumped off the courtyard wall and lowered his voice beamingly by the door: "Father!"

Lin Wei opened the door and yawned: "My son, your father is opposite."

"..." Ah Liu was dissatisfied, "Why do you live in the main house!"

"Because it's quieter here." Lu Chai walked down the steps in his clothes, "Why did you enter the city so late?"

"Come on, Dad, let's come in and say." A Liu pushed his shoulders, "It's cold outside."

"Looking at your flamboyant appearance, 80% is something good?" Lin Wei also followed.

Holding the hot tea, Ah Liu was quite contented, and talked about the experience on the way. This time Niu Dading and his party got off the boat from Yanhe Wharf. If he changed to normal, he would definitely take the official road, but this time, since he was accompanied by martial arts heroes, he would naturally be arrogant and walk the mountain road. Not counting, but also to take the remote trails, deep mountains and ridges with dead trees and rotten grass, and no bandits will be sorry for the tattered cottage and graveyard.

"So all this way, you're fighting bandits for him?" Lu asked.

Ah Liu nodded: "No, one after another like leeks will delay entering the city until now."

"It's not surprising that you can do this kind of thing." Lin Wei patted him on the shoulder, "but have you ever thought about why Xiao Lan would be willing to follow along? This is not like his temperament."

"I don't know." Ah Liu scratched his head, "I am wondering myself."

"Send someone to look up the bottom of Li Yuan in this city." Lu Zhui ordered, "Be careful not to startle the snake."

"Yes." Lin Wei nodded.

"As for you," Lu Zhui looked at Ah Liu, "Continue to follow Xiao Lan. If there is a woman looking for him these few days, even if you just ask for directions on the street, you must tell me."

"Don't worry." Ah Liu patted his chest, "Wrap it on me!"

"Tomorrow, member Li will have his birthday, the inside of Li Mansion should be very messy." Lin Wei said, "Should I sneak in and have a look?"

Lu Chai nodded: "Okay."

In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, firecrackers sounded all over the city, and it took a full half an hour to stop. The blue smoke also stained the clear winter fog with a sulphur smell.

There were a lot of people in Li's house, and the front hall was so packed that it was almost impossible to move. The gifts received were filled with three warehouses, and the outside was still being sent in continuously. A Liu squatted on the roof and said, "Goodbye, so much money."

"Why, want to grab it?" Xiao Lan asked.

"You just want to grab it." Ah Liu swallowed and looked away from the yellow and white thing. "My father said, I want to be a good person."

Xiao Lan said: "Your dad sounds really good."

Ah Liu was immediately alert: "Not bad, I can't give it to you." That is my father.

Xiao Lan: "..."

"Where are you going to find the surname Lu?" Ah Liu asked again.

Xiao Lan shook his head: "I already said that your father's disappearance has nothing to do with that surnamed Lu, and it's useless to find him."

"Then I have to ask face to face before I know." A Liudao, "Otherwise, I'm not at ease."

Xiao Lan lay back on the roof, staring at Liuyun in a daze.

"Say, where are you going to find the surname Lu?" Ah Liu asked again, as if he wouldn't stop without hearing the answer.

Xiao Lan said, "I'm looking for him to do something."

Ah Liu wondered: "Huh?"

Xiao Lan closed his eyes: "If I say another word, I will kill you."

"No." A Liu forcibly shook him up and said angrily, "You fooled me all the way to Frost City, but didn't help me find my father?"

Xiao Lan flew a punch without expression and knocked him off the roof.

Ah Liu lay on the corner of the wall dying, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Lin Wei quietly fell on the roof, looking at the Li family mansion not far away. People come and go, like the three teachings and nine streams, it is difficult to find out what is abnormal. But if it's just an ordinary old man, he can't explain why Xiao Lan would be willing to follow Niu Dading all the way to live in this house.

After noon, there was a wind in the sky, and the people on the street wrapped their cotton robes and hurried home. A child dressed as a cotton ball, ran all the way to the back wall of Li's mansion, looked around and saw that no one noticed, it actually jumped on the ground and flew into the courtyard.

Lin Wei touched his chin and followed him secretly.

Later, Lu Chai frowned: "Dwarf?"

"Yes." Lin Wei said, "I entered the Li Mansion from the back wall, as if I knew Xiao Lan very well. But I was worried that I would be discovered if I got too close, so I didn't hear what they were talking about."

"Dwarf..." Lu Chai sighed, "It seems that I have been away from the rivers and lakes for too long."
