Halfway through the journey, Xiao Zifeng didn't let Erhu see him off.
Erhu watched Xiao Zifeng's wheelchair getting further and further away. He saw several large packets of medicine and a small bottle with the name "Golden Chuang Medicine" written on it.
Xiao Zifeng's leg is actually healed, he knows this.
Erhu looked at the two marks on the ground, and his mind went back to that night a few years ago.
At that time, those in charge of these streets were not the Black Tiger Gang, but a gang called the Evil Leopard Gang.
People in gangs bully men and dominate women, and use loan sharks to force people to sell their children and daughters.
Some people want to sue the government, but the government is not a place for ordinary people to redress their grievances.
Anyone who goes there will have their legs broken that night.
This is a threat and a warning.
Until one night, more than a dozen major members of the Evil Leopard Gang who committed the most heinous crimes disappeared overnight.
Yes, just disappear.
There were no signs of a fight, and not even any of the family's money was stolen.
More than a dozen living people disappeared completely overnight.
No trace or clue can be found.
As for leaving the city in the middle of the night, are you kidding me? The city will be closed at night.
The people guarding the city are not those from the government. This is a borderland, and those responsible for guarding the city are soldiers. The opening of the city gates is the responsibility of some generals.
That's not something a small gang like the Evil Leopard Gang can achieve.
That night, Erhu saw Xiao Zifeng coming out of the yard of the leader of the Evil Leopard Gang.
He didn't understand at the time and thought Xiao Zifeng was going to give gifts.
A few days later, news came that a dozen people from the Evil Leopard Gang had disappeared.
Erhu only felt a bit frightened.
When Xiao Zifeng left, there was nothing there, compared to the kidnapping, assassination, and body dumping that others had speculated.
As a witness, he thought more...
"Tiedan, come here!"
Erhu waved to Tiedan.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Tiedan ran over in a hurry.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave it to you. Do your best, do you hear me?"
Erhu patted Tiedan on the shoulder.
"Brother, what do you want to do in person? How about I help you?"
When Erhu heard this, his eyes darkened and he kicked Tiedan on the butt.
Tiedan almost fell to the ground after being kicked.
"I need your help when I go to Chunxiang Tower."
Tiedan showed a lewd look.
"I heard that a group of girls from the south came to Chunxiang Tower. They are called Yangzhou Slim Horses. They are very moist."
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, showing a look that every man could understand.
"Brother, don't worry, I can handle everything here."
Tiedan watched Erhu's leaving figure, waiting for Erhu to completely leave his sight.
"Someone come over here, I have something to do..."
………
"This is the golden sore medicine."
Zhao Xuanluo looked at the medicine bottle in front of her. She had already taken the healing elixir, and the effect was much better than the ordinary folk medicine for sores.
However, she did not reject Xiao Zifeng's kindness.
"By the way, what do you do?"
"Killer! Otherwise I wouldn't be hunted down."
"No wonder, it seems we are ready to run away."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Xuanluo asked doubtfully, wasn't the person who chased her last night killed?
"The biggest gang in the city is sending people to look for you, and even offered a reward of one thousand taels, life or death."
"What? One thousand taels! I can't earn this much even if I work for a year, what kind of gang are they?"
"Golden Knife Gang."
"I haven't taken any orders against this gang."
Xiao Zifeng felt something was wrong and asked again.
"You have no grudge against this gang."
"No."
"That would be interesting."
………
As the sun sets, Brother Tiger carries his bag and wanders around the world.
Looking back at the city where he had stayed for almost ten years, he looked back at all the ups and downs of the past, as well as the white legs of Chunxiang Tower.
He couldn't afford to offend the Golden Knife Gang, a big gang in the city.
Xiao Zifeng was like a master in a playbook, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
One thousand taels of silver was tempting, but he still felt that his life was more important. After traveling in the world for many years, he could become the leader of a gang. The main thing was his self-awareness and caution.
No matter how capable they are of accomplishing great things, those guys who always want to give it a try and become a master will mostly have grass on their graves three meters high.
Finally, he waved to the city as a final farewell.
Walking on the road, I found a familiar figure in front of me.
Erhu shouted tentatively.
"Iron egg!"
"who?!"
Tiedan was startled by the sudden shout and looked behind him in fear.
"Brother Hu, it's you, why did you come up behind me?"
Tiedan looked at Brother Hu with tears in his eyes.
Brother Hu also wanted to ask this question. He ran first. Why did this guy run in front of him?
"Why did you leave the city?"
"Brother Hu, aren't you leaving the city too..."
After saying this, Tiedan thought to himself, do you really think he is stupid? Who goes to Chunxiang Tower in broad daylight?
Brother Hu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"How about we come together so that we can have someone to take care of you in the future."
"Let's go, together."
"Oh, it's just a pity for those brothers."
Brother Hu sighed.
"There's nothing we can do, Brother Hu. If they all run away, the Golden Knife Gang will immediately discover a problem, and they won't be able to leave at that time. They won't be reasonable. They can't all die. Someone has to live."
Brother Tiger went down the stairs.
"It's better to die than to live. Let's burn some paper for these brothers when we have the opportunity in the future."
After saying that, the two of them shouldered their burdens and embarked on a new journey...
………
At night, a large group of people came to the sparsely populated Laoguan Street, everyone gathered around a lonely courtyard.
Because in recent years, it is said that Laoguan Street has bad feng shui and is often accompanied by the howling of evil spirits. Many people have moved out one after another, except for the people in the yard in front of them.
"Master Wu Hall, this is it."
The speaker was a man in his 20s, speaking respectfully to a man next to him with a beard and a scar on his face.
"Well done, I will burn the reward for you."
The man's eyes were full of greed, and so were the dozen or so people behind him.
"Okay, okay, burn..."
Before he finished speaking, Lord Wu suddenly drew his sword.
When the man's perspective changed, he saw his entire body and a neck with nothing on it.
So did the dozen or so people who came with the man to share the reward, but they were all quickly cleared away by the people led by the Wu Hall Master.
A dozen people with greed, confusion, doubts, fear...
Turned into a cold corpse.
"That woman was so cruel. She actually killed everyone who led the way."
Hall Master Wu murmured, thus giving a name to the deaths of these dozen people.
Then Hall Master Wu led people over the wall and entered the courtyard.
After walking only a few steps, there was a click. Someone seemed to have stepped on something?
Phew…
Three people were nailed to the wall with several wooden spears.
"It's a trap..."
Before he finished speaking, one person stepped back because he was frightened.
I don’t know what I stepped on again.
As a result, a burst of dazzling light suddenly erupted, and intense heat enveloped everyone who entered the courtyard.
The explosion was like thunder, waking up nearly half of the city.
Laoguan Street is like daylight at this moment.
Xiao Zifeng pushed the wheelchair and murmured in a low voice: "Saltpeter, white sugar and charcoal will make Ivan the fire tree and silver flower."
Zhao Xuanluo, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the violent explosion in the distance and swallowed. Such a violent sound made her unable to hear clearly what Xiao Zifeng was saying?
All he wanted to know now was what kind of hidden master was the one who saved her. This would definitely require martial arts training.
She looked up at Xiao Zifeng.
"You are not some old monster magician who has lived for hundreds of years, and you are here to tease me."
Among practitioners, only magicians can cause such huge celestial phenomena while living far away.
She attributed the violent explosion to a kind of earthly fire from the sky.
"No, I just used ordinary people's tricks."
"Ordinary people? Small tricks?"
Great doubts swirled in Zhao Xuanluo's heart. Ordinary people are like this. Is it too late for her to go back and be an ordinary person now?
