Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Early in the morning, Ru Ge was making biscuits in full swing! She wiped the sweat from her forehead, the dough needs to be kneaded very vigorously, ah, the biscuit shop is becoming more and more famous, and more and more customers come here for its name, she must make better and better biscuits Eat, so that people will not feel that the name is not worthy of the name, and it can attract more repeat customers. Ru Ge laughs while kneading the dough, it turns out that hard work and success can bring such great happiness! Dao Liexiang pushed aside the curtain of the inner room. The hangover head made her dizzy and want to vomit. She leaned against the door and looked coldly at the little girl in red clothes who was making sesame cakes with flour on her face and humming a little song happily.

It's just a pancake maker. With snow, if you don't work as a girl in a brothel, it's still a lowly job. Ru Ge found her, and greeted her with a smile, "I'm awake." Dao Liexiang's eyes were dark. Ruge continued to knead the dough: "You seem to have drank a lot of wine yesterday and vomited all night. Now your head must be hurting. There is a bowl of hangover soup on the table. You should drink it and you will feel better." When in Pinhualou, Girls often get drunk, so making hangover soup has become a skill that every girl must master. Dao Liexiang stared at her: "What's your name?"

Ruge glanced at her, smiled and said: "Hey, you are not very polite. Also, I took care of you last night, you seem to have forgotten to thank me." Dao Liexiang sneered: "You deserve it too?!" "boom!" A ball of fire exploded on Dao Liexiang's body! She was caught off guard, and a big hole was burned out in her clothes, and she couldn't help shouting angrily: "Who is it?!" Lei Jinghong Shiran walked to Ruge's side, and teased: "Why, tell you not to talk to this bitch, just let her die drunk on the street, but you didn't listen, you regret it now."

Dao Liexiang glared at him angrily and said, "Stinky boy, do you really want to die!" Ru Ge began to spread oil on the dough: "Could you please go out and talk, these biscuits need to be made in a hurry, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the first group of guests." Lei Jinghong laughed loudly: "Haha, with Master Ben here, how can Xue and you still sell biscuits?" He took out a handful of banknotes and put them on the table, "Master bought this biscuit shop!" Ru Ge stared at him like a monster. Can't help shaking his head. and shouted—

"Snow──! Get up!" The snow seemed to fall from the bed... "Get up!! Get up!!!" Ru Ge performed the magic sound ear-piercing magical skill and shouted to Xue. The white clothes were draped lazily on her body, her long hair was a little messy, Xue Xue walked out sleepily, and said lazily, "What's wrong?" Lei Jinghong and Dao Liexiang were fascinated by it. The dawn's sunlight reflected Xue's skin as if it were transparent, and his lazy appearance was like a white flower just blooming in the morning wind. He was so beautiful that he seemed to turn into a fairy at any moment.

Ruge said helplessly: "Xue, please take your friends away, I need to make biscuits quietly." She didn't want to smash the signboard of Xueji Biscuit Shop. Xue yawned: "Oh, I see." Then, she waved to Lei Jinghong and Dao Luxiang, and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go outside to play." That day. The business of Xueji Shaobing shop is very good. Because there are two masters performing arts outside the shop.Women use knives, which are deadly and fierce; teenagers use firearms in a variety of ways, which are more exciting and beautiful than fireworks during festivals.The two were merciless when they fought each other, which was much more interesting than the meek fake gestures of ordinary entertainers, which aroused the applause of the onlookers!

Wow, what a fantastic performance, the tangy and tempting aroma of biscuits. People in Ping'an Town enjoy fighting while eating sesame seed cakes. It's delicious, it's delicious, it's beautiful, it's beautiful! Lei Jinghong and Dao Liexiang have since become frequent customers of the sesame seed shop. The two still disliked each other, but Xue didn't know what method Xue used, and the two finally stopped being tense and ready for a decisive battle at any time. today. Xie Xiaofeng said quietly: "Sister Ruge, why does that big sister always have a gloomy face as if she is going to get angry, she looks terrifying."

Dao Liexiang on the other side of the room suddenly glared over, making the child tremble with fright. Ru Ge snickered: "She must be in a bad mood." Xie Xiaofeng leaned close to her ear, and asked in confusion: "But why is she always in a bad mood?" Ruge said: "Maybe it's because she can't let go." Xie Xiaofeng was even more surprised: "What do you mean you can't let go?" Ru Ge thought about it and said: "For example, if something is not yours, no matter how hard you try, it is still not yours, but you would rather die to make it yours, but no matter what, it will not become yours."

Xie Xiaofeng scratched his head: "I don't understand." Ru Ge smiled: "You are still a child, you will grow up when you can understand." Dao Liexiang's body was stiff, and her lips were pursed into a line. At this moment, Lei Jinghong walked over leisurely, and said with a smile to Xie Xiaofeng: "I heard that you are the grandson of Duan Lei Zhuang Xie Houyou?" Xie Xiaofeng puffed up his chest: "Yes! I am Xie Xiaofeng!" "Well, not bad," Lei Jinghong nodded, "You are already very imposing at such a young age..." Xie Xiaofeng smiled happily.

"It's a pity, why were you born in Duanlei Village?" Lei Jinghong rubbed his chin and sighed. Although Xie Xiaofeng was not very sensible, he could hear the sarcasm in his words, and said angrily, "What did you say?" Lei Jinghong grinned: "Little brother, let me test you. Do you know why Duanlei Village can gain a foothold in Ping'an Town, and the Wudao City in the World has always given way to it despite its great power?" How can a nine-year-old child answer this question. Ruge hugged Xie Xiaofeng into his arms, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, go directly to Dao Liexiang, don't bully children."

Lei Jinghong grinned, his plump and slightly pouty lips were like fresh orange petals, with a delicate fragrance. But Xie Xiaofeng broke free like a song, raised his head and said: "Because my grandfather and father have been righteous heroes all their lives, people in the world admire and admire us, so the city of Wudao under the world also respects us very much!" Ruge smiled: "Xiaofeng said it really well." Dao Liexiang looked out the door, a glint of haze flashed in his eyes. Lei Jinghong sat on the table, slapped his hands and laughed, "What a good answer! It's a pity that the truth is not like this at all!" His eyes seemed to glance at the indifferent Dao Liexiang intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "The City of Wudao in the World does not respect Duanlei Village, but Lie Huozhuang. Duanlei Village is just a bright mirror placed under the eyes of Wudao City in the World Xie Houyou knew exactly how many weapons the Dao family made, how many friends from the world came, how much money they earned each year, and how many new babies were born. Villa." Lei Jinghong stretched his waist: "Duan Lei Zhuang is just a dog of Lie Mingjing, poor Dao Wuxia is still so scared that he can't wait to lick Xie Houyou's ass, it's so funny!" Xie Xiaofeng rushed over, gritted his teeth and beat him hard, and said in a hateful voice: "You scold my grandfather and my father, I will beat you to death!!" His strength was not even enough to tickle Lei Jinghong. Lei Jinghong grabbed the child's fists, and smiled cutely and amiably: "Is it true, just go back and ask your grandpa to find out." Xie Xiaofeng bit his lips tightly, and ran out angrily like a gust of wind!He is going to find grandpa, he will let grandpa teach this bad guy a lesson! Ru Ge stared at Lei Jinghong: "Don't you feel ashamed of bullying a child like this?!" Lei Jinghong didn't seem to hear it, and stared at the gloomy Dao Liexiang with a hippie smile: "Look, a child is more hot-tempered than you, so why not change the name of Tianxia Wudao City to Tianxia Wuluocheng!" Dao Liexiang sneered. Her hand slowly loosened the red incense knife beside her. Turning his head, there was mockery in his heroic eyes. She whispered: "Lei Jinghong, don't think that I really don't know your plan." Lei Jinghong raised his eyebrows. Dao Liexiang said: "Your father, Lei Hentian, is arrogant and conceited. For many years, he has been planning to replace Lie Mingjing, but it is a pity that the two aristocratic families advance and retreat together, and the world is full of harmony. There is no chance for you to show your fists. You just want to stir up a dispute between Tianxia Wudao and Liehuozhuang, so that you can take the opportunity to create a storm." Lei Jinghong laughed loudly: "Is that so? I'm afraid some people think they are smart!" Dao Liexiang ignored him and continued to look outside the door, waiting for Xue's return. She won't be fooled by Lei Jinghong, and she won't be provoked by him to draw swords at each other again. The eldest brother said that directly ignoring Lei Jinghong's words as farts is the best counterattack against him! Lei Jinghong folded his arms and smiled: "Haha, can Dao Wuxia endure being subdued under Lie Huo Huozhuang for a long time? I'm afraid there will be changes soon!" Ru Ge looked at them. My heart suddenly felt very chaotic. Clear blue sky. White clouds. The sun is bright, but not too hot. It just happened to be the day of offering incense, and suddenly there were many more people in Ping'an Town. "Aunt Xiang, be careful." A little girl with a double bun carefully supported a delicate young woman with a slightly protruding belly. The young woman smiled softly and charmingly: "It's okay, I can do it alone." The girl Huan'er frowned and said: "If something happens to you, Aunt Mei will definitely be so proud!" A little resentment stained the corners of the young woman's lips. She gently caressed her lower abdomen, thinking of her husband who had tenderly cared for her, her heart was filled with tenderness for a moment. At this time. The aroma of biscuits wafted in the air. Huan'er shrugged her nose, and suddenly thought of it: "Hey, I seem to have heard that there is a shop called Xueji Biscuits here. The biscuits they make are beautiful and delicious, and they are very famous!" The young woman still frowns deeply. Huan'er said: "Aunt Xiang, why don't we buy some sesame seed cakes back home, the young master might like to eat them!" Hmph, Aunt Mei cannot be the only one to please the young master. There are many people who come to buy sesame seed cakes in front of Xueji Gate. Huan'er protected the young woman and squeezed to the front, and shouted to a red-clothed woman who was so busy behind the tall basket, "Girl, please give us a catty of sesame seed cakes!" The young woman looked at the girl in red, feeling a little familiar in a trance, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she was so busy that she didn't turn her head around and couldn't see clearly. Ruge is so busy! Smelly snow!I don't know what I'm doing these few days, I leave early and return late all day long, and ask her to take care of all the things in the shop, and even give her a chance to exercise in the name of euphemism!Please, if you exercise again, she will be exercised until her limbs cramp! While wrapping the biscuits deftly, she greeted the next guest: "Okay! A catty of biscuits! Do you want sweet or salty, or mixed together?" As she spoke, she raised her head. Startled. Eyes blinked. The smile was like a flower that suddenly bloomed, and Ruge shouted in surprise: "Sister Xiang'er, is it you?!" That young woman with a slightly protruding abdomen, her eyes are as gentle and soft as a deer, and her smile is as charming and pitiful as a reed by the small river, isn't it the girl Xiang'er who sold her body for the burial mother and was later bought by Dao Wuxia! "I met Sister Xiang'er." During dinner, Ru Ge said to Xue. Xue was eating a piece of green vegetable, and she was so graceful that she seemed to be doing the most beautiful thing in the world. "Xiang'er? Do you remember?" Ruge looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he would have an impression of a little girl. Xue smiled cutely: "I only remember you." really. Ruge lowered her head in frustration. "What's wrong with Xiang'er?" Seeing that she seemed very disappointed, Xue pretended to be very interested. Ah, finally got a response! Ru Ge began to speak in detail. Holding her chin, Xue said with a smile: "That is to say, Dao Wuxia finally married Xiang'er as the fifth concubine. Very good, I don't have to wait on the girls in Pinhualou." Ruge said: "But, it's the fifth room aunt, how come Dao Wuxia has married so many aunts, he seems to be very serious." Xue laughed so hard that she fell down: "Isn't it serious to marry more aunts?" Ru Ge glared at him: "What are you laughing at, don't men like three wives and four concubines!" Xue made a vow: "I swear to God, I only like you in my lifetime!" Ru Ge gave him a white look: "I will believe you only when I am demented!" Xue looked at her: "Even if you are demented, I will still guard you." Unable to bear it, she patted the bristling hair on her arm, and returned to the topic just now── "However, I see sister Xiang'er's expression seems very sad. She just got pregnant, so she should be happy... Besides, her maid seems to have mentioned that Dao Wuxia just married a new aunt, how could this happen? Woolen cloth?" Ru Ge murmured, but when she looked up, she found Xue was looking out of the window in ecstasy, with an expression of uncertainty on her face. "Snow? What's wrong with you?" She had never seen him like this before, as if he had something on his mind, with worry in his eyes. Snow smiled. Ru Ge looked at him: "You always go out early and come back late these days, what's the matter?" Xue shook her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry." I hope that everything will not be as he expected, and that everything is just a miscalculation. The windows are open. The moon was suddenly covered by dark clouds. A dark red light flashed across the night sky. Xue's fingers suddenly tightened! Ping An Town. Shocking murder! At midnight two days ago, Xie Houyou, the well-known owner of Duanlei Village, was assassinated on his couch with a sword piercing his heart! Duanlei Village and Lie Huozhuang Village have always been friends, and Xie Houyou is one of Lie Mingjing's close friends, and they have very close contacts.Jianghu has always believed that Duanleizhuang was specially set up by Lie Mingjing next to Tianxia Wudao City, in order to prevent the sword family from continuously expanding their power. Xie Houyou was killed. Why was he killed? Who was killed? It became a martial arts case for a while. Ping'an Town also immediately became a gathering place for people from the rivers and lakes. Xueji Biscuit Shop. Ruge's brows never loosened. I haven't seen Xiaofeng for a long time. I don't know if a child can bear such a big incident. "I think, 80% of those who killed Xie Houyou were people without swords in the world!" At the open-air wonton stall next to the biscuit shop, seven or eight rough men with various weapons were talking loudly and brazenly. "It makes sense! Xie Houyou was sent by Lie Huozhuang Village to monitor Tianxia Wudao. He must have discovered some big secret before he was silenced!" "Not necessarily. If Tianxia Wudao wants to strike, why not do it more covertly, killing people so ostentatiously is really not like Dao Wuxia's style." "Yes!" "Maybe it's a suspicious formation?!" "Hey, is there such a possibility? Lie Huozhuang saw that Tianxia Wudao was getting bigger and bigger, and found an excuse to get rid of it, so Xie Houyou became an unlucky ghost." "Wow! It's too cruel!" "Cruel?! Back then, Lie Mingjing's sworn brother, Zhan Feitian, died strangely. That was cruel enough! Zhan Feitian, god-like figures died so easily, what is Xie Houyou?!" "Shh, keep your voice down, I heard that there are spies from Qinghuotang in Liehuozhuang Village, they are all over the place, so be careful to take you back and peel and eat you!" "There is another possibility—" "what?" "It is said that someone saw Lei Jinghong, the young master of the Thunderbolt Gate in the south of the Yangtze River, appearing here. Could it be that he killed Xie Houyou, blamed Liehuozhuang and Tianxia Wudao, and wanted to take the opportunity to get into trouble!" "Yes! This possibility cannot be ruled out!" "..." "..." "Hahahaha!!! No matter what, there will inevitably be violent winds and waves in the rivers and lakes, brothers can keep their eyes open and wait for the good show!" "Hahahahaha──" "Girl!" Xue's hand made a move in front of the lost soul Ruge. Ruge blinked slowly: "Huh?" Xue took the baskets together and said with a smile, "Stupid girl, the biscuits have already been sold out, why are you so surprised." Ruge nodded, took the basket from him without a word, and walked into the shop. Then, she sat on the stool and continued to be in a daze. Xue leaned down and looked at her carefully: "Hey, if you have something on your mind, tell me, okay?" Ru Ge looked at him. After a while, he finally said, "Who do you think killed Xie Houyou?" Xue laughed, a little weirdly. "Who do you want to kill Xie Houyou?" Ruge's eyebrows twitched: "What do you mean? I hope that whoever killed Xie Houyou is the one who killed him? I hope that these things never happened!" Xue stared at her and sighed: "The thing has already happened. Do you hope that Lie Huozhuang did it?" "No!" Like a song of surprise. "Is there hope that there will be no swords in the world?" Ru Ge shook his head.Years of peace cannot be easily broken. "So, I hope Lei Jinghong did it?" Ru Ge still shook his head. If the Thunderbolt Gate in the south of the Yangtze River really did something like this, a bloody storm would be inevitable. Xue gently sat beside her, and gently hugged her shoulders. His voice was very soft: "Don't worry, someone will handle it well." "Feng'er, you will deal with Duanleizhuang's affairs." Fierce Volcano. Lie Mingjing stood with his hands behind his back. The evening sun made his white hair red. Zhan Feng stood behind him, his eyes were so dark that they turned blue, and the jewel in his right ear revealed a chill; his young body was upright and masculine, like a lonely god of war in the sunset. "Yes." He replied. Lie Mingjing turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, don't let me down." Zhan Feng lowered his eyes: "Yes." Lie Mingjing looked at him who was alienated and indifferent, his eyes were slightly startled, with mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't help but said slowly: "Feng'er, some things are much more complicated than they seem. Your father..." In the blink of an eye, faces flashed across his mind, as if a magic hand had stuck his throat, making him speechless. Zhan Feng said coldly: "Yes." He knows that many things are uglier than they appear. Lie Mingjing waved his hand: "Let's go." Zhan Feng withdrew. Zhan Feng's figure walked away. A gray shadow flashed in the bamboo forest. There was cruel ashes in Yi Lang's eyes, and he said to Lie Mingjing, "Can you rest assured?" Lie Mingjing closed his eyes. Shen Sheng said: "Trust him once." In the sunset. Zhan Feng walked to the lotus pond. This place can no longer be called a lotus pond. Before Ruge left the village, he ordered people to completely fill the pond with soil. No lotus. No lotus leaves. There was no water either. A piece of deserted land, it seems ridiculously absurd. Zhan Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
