The sun always rose a bit earlier in thefroht to the whole world The sky had brightened, and the roosters in the village heralded the co of another day
The village chief was a edat rice bags, last night he had gathered sooods that the Black Wind bandits wanted He helplessly sighed in relief within his heart, this day was co to an end and they could be at peace for a while
At that tie chief’s ear, whispering soood if she’s still there, watch her carefully Without her those bandits will certainly not let the matter drop and all hell will break loose”
Hearing the village chief’s words, the old woman was surprised and hurried nodded
The sky becaather the goods in the , but now three double hours had already past and they still hadn’t co, unable to hide their surprise, having no idea what had happened
As the day brightened e chief, I’ll go see what happened Those bandits only know to extort wealth and every year they’ll coe and ask for our food They won’t want to forge inextricable hatred with us either and I kno to face theo”
”En, those people will usually be resting in the teoes there usually Go search there and be polite with them”
Zhang Dashan promised and set out
When he reached the temple he saw door open, and no movement inside He stuck his head inside and was stunned Two Black Wind bandits had been killed, one of theh his chest and his neck sliced, and the other had his head cut off, the head rolling on the ground
Zhang Dashan stared blankly like a wooden man Only after cool breeze blew a piece of wood on his shoulder did he shudder and realize the scene in front of his eyes wasn’t a dream He suddenly came back to his senses and scrambled out with his hands and feet
Zhang Dashan didn’t dare breathe until he went outside, his heart banging , his head dizzy and dazzled Supporting his body he hasted back, and yelled weirdly at the village chief as soon as he saw him: ”Bad, bad”
The village chief’s legs softened in surprised when he saw Zhang Dashan’s expression, asking: ”What, do you want to scare us to death?”
Zhang Dashan still had soe chief to the shelter: ”Village chief, those Black Wind bandits won’t be able to come, they’re all dead, they’ve been killed in the temple
The village chief was stunned, his eyes staring straight A gust of wind blew his way and his whole body shook, his voice tre when he said: ”Is that true? Are you sure you weren’t drea?”
”Village chief you’ll know for sure if you go there yourself” Zhang Dashan looked at the people around nearby and lowered his voice
The village chief looked at the sky and couldn’tan to shake at the sight of the two bloody corpses, but he couldn’t see the bandit chief and he co calamity in his heart
”Disaster is coe is done for…”
After so, people ran here and there and no one could care about Ye Su’er at this moment Ye Su’er bent her ear and heard the inter worry
”Su’er, don’t worry, they just saw the bandits’ corpse that’s all”
”I’e will think that I’oing to face some troubles However e primary school, his character is loyal and just With the crisis this tihterous and will certainly protect us”
Pei Ziyun had taken a bath and ca his clothes
Hearing this Ye Su’er couldn’t refrain her joy, but she was a bit worried at the same ti because I’m a mere female, what can I do then?”
”If Mister Zhao refuses then I’ll take you far away to the other end of the world” Light lively and bright shone through Pei Ziyun’s eyes as he said resolutely: ”I absolute won’t let you fall in the bandits’ hands”
”En”Ye Su’er softly answered
Mister Zhao’s residence was in a bae Since the situation had already become this way they didn’t need to hide Pei Ziyun took Ye Su’er’s hand and went to Mister Zhao’s house in big strides
The bareen sea of bamboo stalks when seen from afar Mister Zhao loved this place and had built his own bamboo house there
Mister Zhao was having a drink in the courtyard
There was a plate of stir-fried bacon on the srance still assailed the nostrils There was a plate of tofu also, with a few strands of scallion casually sprinkled on it, the tofu fried yellow but still tender inside, appearing extremely attractive At thesleeve as curtains he drank from it
After a mouthful of sake he picked a piece of bacon with his chopsticks, but then he saw a boy and a girl co in When he calirl in tow
”So it turns out be Ziyun, why are you standing? Have a seat!”
Ye Su’er stole a few glances at Mister Zhou and felt in her heart so was different about this ed scholar wore green gar and square, two eyebrows pitch black, and the radiant light shi+ning froht on Her heart leaped in her chest despite herself
Pei Ziyun didn’t sit down His inal’s memories so he naturally knew this man was an elder from the Pine Cloud Sect Pei Ziyun had had inal oas very pedantic and thought so like ”Confucius doesn’t talk about the supernatural or it would disturb his ether
Then this Mister Zhao only taught soinal used the the plum blossom to plunder dao secrets, and still ended in thishis disciple in name only Once youabout it rets And noas afraid that the accuement was already too deep and too difficult to overturn He bowed forward: ”Respected teacher, I ca for help”
