C129 (1/2)
Hearing that, Zou Da's heart felt as if it was being pierced by a knife. The second scenario was to be executed in secret.
He didn't want Xiao Jiu to die like this, so what could he do to prevent Xiao Jiu from dying?
The middle-aged man shook his head. He looked at the glass in front of him and said to Zou Da, ”Go back first, it's best if you don't get involved in this matter. If you do, you can remove the seal and reopen it in a few days.”
Zou Da wanted to see Xiao Jiu. He shook his head and rejected the middle-aged man's plea to meet Xiao Jiu.
Zou Da could only drag his exhausted body back home.
Zou Da didn't think at all for three days in a row and had lost a lot of weight on his body. It was hard for him to fall asleep without drinking any wine every night, and his mind was extremely dejected. The two old grannies felt their hearts ache, so they asked him a question but didn't say anything.
Seeing Zou Da so dispirited, he thought that Zou Da was worrying about something and advised him not to take it to heart. He had already asked, if there were really no other options, they could reinvest in the sect and help him set up a new house in the next two days.
How could Zou Da dare to tell his father about this? He could only agree and try his best to not let him worry his too much. Just like that, another week passed.
A little beggar came to the Zou family to look for Zou Da, saying that Old Beggar had something to talk to him about. Zou Da tried his best to hurry to Zhi Hua Temple, but Old Beggar didn't dare to recognize him when he saw Zou Da.
The young man who had been full of energy a few days ago now had his eyes sunken in. His face was charred yellow and he had a face full of stubble. He looked like a 50-year-old man. He immediately said a few words of concern.
Zou Da asked the beggar if there was anything he could do for.
The beggar said it was about Xiao Jiu.
Zou Da immediately became spirited, and somewhat excitedly waited for the Old Beggar to finish.
The Old Beggar wailed, saying that he remembered, Xiao Jiu was a Ue-kok People, and was of illustrious background. She had a mysterious profession in the Ue-kok called Ninja.
Among them, the most famous were two schools. One was Ihor, the other was A'He Liu, the biggest clan in A'he was from was Mochizuki Family, and Xiao Jiu was a descendant of a side branch of Mochizuki Family.
Zou Da had heard of Ninja before, but he had never seen it before. The Ninja he remembered from the past was only wearing a tight black suit with a mask on his head. He carried out a secret mission with a ninja blade.
He asked how Old Beggar knew?
He actually had such a deep understanding of ninjas, and even knew that Xiao Jiu was a side branch of the Mochizuki Family.
The Old Beggar said that when he was young, he participated in a war of resistance and fought evil spirits. However, he was different from the soldiers, he attacked them secretly and worked together with those hidden experts to kill the evil spirits that came to China.
In order to achieve victory in this war, Ue-kok was used in every possible way. All the ninjas of every sect were dispatched, and there was enmity between the two. In order to cooperate for the war, the Old Beggar and the Ninja had fought many times.
He said that the Ninja may look like an ordinary person, just like a passerby, but hidden.
Zou Da said that Xiao Jiu was only around twenty years old now, and she would not be here when the time of the war was right.
The old beggar said that it was indeed impossible at that time. That woman came here two years ago, when she had sneaked over here with some of the ninjas.
During this period, Old Beggar and the few monks from Zhihua Temple had teamed up and fought a battle with the ninja, killed a few, and ran away a few. Xiao Jiu was amongst those who were running away, so she had an impression of her, but she couldn't recall who she was at the moment.
Zou Da's eyes turned red, what's the use of saying all this now, Xiao Jiu has already been captured, she might be executed in secret.
The old beggar said that it would be better to capture him. Such a person should not be here to begin with. Since he was here, he should know that if he was found, he would be dead.
He once again comforted Zou Da with a few words of advice, telling him to practice the Mad Dog Fist properly, his martial arts must not be wasted. The proverb was that he would not practice the Ten Day Pine for one day, and not for a hundred days.
