Yuanshan City is the only city within a radius of two hundred miles.
There are many copycat villages in the surroundings. Usually, only when you need to purchase supplies, you will travel to Yuanshan City.
Those who have lived in Yuanshan City for a long time are some powerful families or forces.
The young man in front of Xiao Zhan is named Shi Lei.
I heard from him that his mother gave him this name because she wanted him to be as hard-working as a stone.
Shi Lei lives in Yuanshan City.
Xiao Zhan and Shi Lei walked forward side by side and asked as they walked:
"Does the person you killed have any grudge against you?"
Shi Lei nodded and said truthfully:
"That man's name is Hu Ao, and he also lives in Yuanshan City."
"His father and my father have never dealt with each other. Three years ago, my father died at the hands of his father."
"Originally, the grievances between our parents had nothing to do with Hu Ao," Shi Lei suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth:
"But that bastard actually brought someone to bully my mother while I was away! Not only did he break my mother's legs, but he also told my mother to get out of Yuanshan City."
"I don't dare to take action in Yuanshan City because his father is the housekeeper of the Lu family, and Hu Ao has become the eldest son of the Lu family."
"So, I deliberately had an argument with him and then lured him outside the city."
"Then I laid an ambush in that valley and attacked him by surprise."
Xiao Zhan said "Oh" and said nothing more.
Shi Lei, on the other hand, secretly glanced at Xiao Zhan from time to time.
Because he didn't understand why Xiao Zhan could still give him a strong sense of oppression without any mecha triggering device on his body.
He couldn't guess Xiao Zhan's strength at all.
Without the cooperation of the mecha, Shi Lei could only travel a hundred miles in a day.
Xiao Zhan was not in a hurry and kept chatting with Shi Lei along the way.
The next evening, Xiao Zhan saw a huge city.
This city was made of unknown materials, and exuded a cold metallic sheen.
Shi Lei's expression became solemn.
Because at the gate of the city, there were two burly men with beards, who looked exactly the same, and had fierce looks on their faces.
Shi Lei lowered his voice and said to Xiao Zhan:
"These two brothers are the subordinates of the eldest son of the Lu family. They usually play well with Hu Ao."
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"So, they're waiting for you here?"
Shi Lei shook his head subconsciously:
"They shouldn't know that I lured Hu Ao out of the city."
While talking, the two big men had already seen Shi Lei and strode towards this side.
Shi Lei's expression suddenly became serious.
He looked at Xiao Zhan, lowered his voice and said:
"Just pretend you don't know me, otherwise they will beat you too!"
As he spoke, Shi Lei put his hands behind his back and quietly took off the mecha trigger bracelet on his wrist.
"Shi Lei! Stop!"
The two bearded men roared and then surrounded Shi Lei.
One of them stared at Xiao Zhan and asked:
"Who are you, with Shi Lei?"
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head:
"I'm not familiar with him."
"Then get lost!" The big man glared at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"Not only do you look ugly, you also sound bad."
The two brothers looked at Xiao Zhan at the same time.
Shi Lei took the initiative to speak at this time:
"Luo Dashan, Luo Dahe, why are you trying to stop me!"
These words brought the two people's attention back to Shi Lei.
"Shi Lei, have you seen Hu Ao?"
Shi Lei shook his head and said:
"I did not see it."
The two brothers immediately frowned.
Hu Ao told them that day that they would find an opportunity to kill Shi Lei.
Then Huao disappeared.
They didn't really care about Hu Ao. The main reason was that the eldest young master of the Lu family wanted Hu Ao to do something, and Hu Ao was not here now.
That's right, in the eyes of the eldest young master of the Lu family, they are not as good as Hu Ao. As for what Hu Ao has been secretly doing to help the eldest young master of the Lu family, the two brothers don't know.
When Hu Ao disappeared, the eldest young master of the Lu family became angry and gave an order to Luo Dashan and Luo Dahe, telling them to find Hu Ao within five days.
Seeing that Luo Dashan and Luo Dahe had something wrong on their faces, Shi Lei exhaled a breath and asked:
"If there's nothing else, I'll go home first."
Luo Dashan frowned and looked at Shi Lei.
They followed Hu Ao, bullied Shi Lei many times, and knew that Shi Lei did not have a mecha.
Therefore, Hu Ao's disappearance must have nothing to do with Shi Lei.
Thinking of this, Luo Dashan snorted coldly:
"Shi Lei, I'm warning you, if you know Hu Ao's whereabouts, you must tell us as soon as possible, otherwise, you know what will happen."
After saying that, the two turned and left.
A cold light flashed in Shi Lei's eyes, and then he said to Xiao Zhan:
"Are you going to my house as a guest?"
What he meant by this was that he was actually not very willing to let Xiao Zhan follow him again.
After all, he didn't know the details of Xiao Zhan, and his mother was the only one at home.
Xiao Zhan seemed not to understand what he said, but smiled and nodded:
"Okay, let's go to your house and have a look."
Shi Lei was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and took Xiao Zhan into Yuanshan City, then turned through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a very remote place.
Most of the courtyards here are low and dilapidated, and the people who live there are also on the lowest level of this distant mountain city.
At this time, in one of the courtyards, a woman with gray hair was sitting in a daze.
"Mom! I'm back!"
Shi Lei shouted and quickly walked to the woman's side.
The worry in the woman's eyes dissipated, she nodded with a smile, and then looked at Xiao Zhan who walked into the yard.
"Shi Lei, who is this?"
Shi Lei did not tell the truth, but explained:
"Mom, this is a friend I just met."
The woman frowned slightly, looked at Shi Lei and asked:
"What have you been doing these days?"
Shi Lei exhaled a thick breath.
"Mom, I...I..."
Facing his mother, Shi Lei still couldn't continue to tell the lies.
He lowered his head and said:
"I killed Huao!"
The woman was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, her expression changed, and she urged:
"Shi Lei, go pack your things immediately, let's leave Yuanshan City!"
Shi Lei shook his head:
"Mom, don't worry, no one knows about this!"
Shi Lei's mother looked at Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Shi Lei continued at this time:
"If I leave Yuanshan City, Hu Ao's father will definitely doubt me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was suddenly kicked open.
Then I saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe walking in.
He put his hands behind his back, looked gloomy, and asked coldly to Shi Lei:
"Shi Lei, where have you been these past few days?"
Shi Lei felt his heartbeat accelerate rapidly.
He gritted his teeth and said:
"I want to go to the mountains to find source grass."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly:
"It's a fool's errand for a waste like you to want to have a connection with the mecha's triggering device!"
"Hu Ba! Get out, you are not welcome here!" Shi Lei's mother shouted with red eyes:
"Get out of here!" 33
Hu Ba glanced at her with a sneer, and then said calmly:
"Do you have the ability to drive me away?"
"You mother and son are still alive, so you should be grateful for my kindness."
"I didn't kill you, it's just my generosity."
After hearing this, Shi Lei's eyes suddenly turned red, his fists clenched tightly, and his nails dug into his flesh.
Xiao Zhan, who was standing behind Shi Lei, saw that Shi Lei's mecha trigger bracelet had appeared in the palm of his hand.
It seemed that Shi Lei couldn't help but take action.
"Hmph!" Hu Ba frowned into the character 'Chuan'.
"Shi Lei, it's best that my son's disappearance has nothing to do with you, and you'd better pray that nothing happens to my son. Otherwise, regardless of whether it has anything to do with you or not, I will let you die without a burial place!"
After saying that, Hu Ba turned and left.
From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Xiao Zhan.
Shi Lei was obviously relieved.
It seemed that he knew very well that he would never be Hu Ba's opponent.
Shi Lei's mother looked at Xiao Zhan at this time and said slowly:
"Since you are Shi Lei's friend, let's have a casual meal before leaving."
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"Forget it, I'll say a few words to Shi Lei, and then I'll leave."
Saying that, Xiao Zhan gave Shi Lei a look.
Shi Lei nodded and followed Xiao Zhan outside the courtyard.
Xiao Zhan looked at Shi Lei with a smile and asked:
"You didn't buy your mecha trigger bracelet, did you?"
Shi Lei was silent for several seconds, then nodded and said:
"I stole it from the Lu family."
Xiao Zhan said "Oh":
"Did you get anything important from Huao?"
Shi Lei's eyes widened and he subconsciously took two steps back.
Xiao Zhan smiled.
Hu Ao was just a follower of the eldest young master of the Lu family. How could the eldest young master of the Lu family be so concerned about Hu Ao's whereabouts?
Therefore, either Hu Ao knew some secret about the eldest young master of the Lu family, or there was something very important about Hu Ao.
Shi Lei was silent for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said:
"I know you have no ill intentions towards me."
Shi Lei sighed:
"Since you want to know, I can tell you, but after listening to it, you should pretend that you haven't heard it before. Otherwise, you will be killed."
Shi Lei lowered his voice a little:
"The eldest young master of the Lu family captured several first-level forgers, locked them up, and forced them to refine mechas."
"But because of the tight pressure, the quality of these mechas is not very good."
"And Hu Ao is the person responsible for selling these mechas."
Xiao Zhan was a little curious:
"Isn't it okay to sell it openly?"
Shi Lei shook his head:
"A foundry is the most noble profession in the world. Even a first-level foundry has a very respected status."
If the eldest young master of the Lu family arrests these first-level casters, it will arouse the anger of all casters.
When the time comes, I'm afraid those powerful forgers will not let go of the Lu family.
After all, the foundry master has the widest network of contacts.
Xiao Zhan smiled:
"Have you ever thought about exposing this matter?"
Shi Lei nodded solemnly:
"I discovered this when I went to steal the mecha from the eldest young master of the Lu family."
"I know, I can't tell anyone about this."
"Otherwise, my mother and I will both die!"
Xiao Zhan said 'hmm':
"It seems you are not too stupid."
"But you're not smart enough either."
"You'd better listen to your mother, pack your things now, and take your mother away from Yuanshan City. The further away the better."
Shi Lei was stunned:
"Why?"
Xiao Zhan chuckled:
"You think too simply."
"The eldest young master of the Lu family must find Hu Ao."
"You should understand that you would rather kill the wrong person than let go. If Hu Ao still can't be found, he will definitely send someone to arrest you."
"When the time comes, I will use your mother to question you."
"You can't handle it."
Shi Lei's expression changed.
Xiao Zhan smiled and waved his hand:
"Take your mother out of Yuanshan City."
Some people died, but not completely...
