Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Silver Chrysanthemum

Who said heroes have no tears? It's just that heroes never cry in front of others. Li Yuanwai and "Ghost Catcher" did not cry when they saw Ershao Yan's body, but it made people feel more sad than tears. Li Yuanwai couldn't control himself even more, muttering to himself almost demented. "Second Young Master, I don't know if it's right or wrong for you to do this, but I know you're not willing to leave like this. Why? Why don't you give our friends a chance? You can't trust us? Damn, you are so stupid! Even if you are going to die, you should show us a way, so that we can find out the person who secretly harmed you! 'Xiao Dai' has followed your sister-in-law, and now the key lies in her alone, and we will definitely find out the results for you. You wash away your grievances, your heroic spirit is not far away, help me to protect me..." Qian's old man was crying, and he was even more sobbing.

After all, "Ghost Catcher" is much older than Li Yuanwai and has stronger self-control, but he also has a sad face. The feelings of young people are relatively unrestrained, so Li Yuanwai said angrily to himself. Older people have deep feelings and are not easy to express, but everyone knows that the sadness in "Ghost Catcher" is no less than that of Li Yuanwai. This is also the difference between the age of nineteen and the age of forty. "Dishen House" is a tea house. "Ghost Catcher" and Li Yuanwai have been waiting here for three days. For three days, "Kaishou Xiaodai" followed Young Mistress Yanda and never came back.

The two of them felt like Xiao Dai was a kite with a broken string, and they put a lot of effort into flying it into the sky, but they never came back. "I'm going to find him." Li Yuanwai stood up. "Where are you going? To Junshan? Although Young Mistress Yanda said to go back to Junshan, 'Xiao Dai' is not staying. If she finds signs of going a long way, she will definitely notify us." "I'm afraid Xiaodai will fall for that woman." "She didn't know that Xiaodai was with us." "Really? You old man, don't forget that I was also in the dark at the beginning, but the man in the hat and she don't know about it?"

"Perhaps she already knew that you and Er Shao are friends." "It's impossible. Er Shao and I rarely meet each other. She wouldn't know about it. Even if she knew that there were me and Xiao Dai, she had never met us and didn't know us. How could she know?" Recognize me at a glance?" "Come on, my member Wai Li, when you smile with your gold-lettered signature 'Awesome', unless you are blind, everyone will know that you are in person." "If that's the case, the people in the dark may know that Xiao Dai is with us, so I don't know if there will be any accidents with Xiao Dai's stalking?"

"Don't worry about this, Xiaodai is the famous 'loach' and is very slippery. It would be an accident if he followed others and was discovered." "There will be no accident, so why is there no news at all?" "Ghost Catcher" also began to worry. The dead are raised. It's an unbelievable thing. Unless this person didn't die at all, otherwise everyone who died would be resurrected, and the world would really be in chaos. Yan Huo, Young Master Yan returned to "Back to Yan Villa." Needless to say, everyone in the huge village couldn't believe it.

When the news came out, people in the Jianghu couldn't believe it, especially those who had gone to mourn him, they couldn't help but laugh. Father Qian should be the happiest, because "Huiyan Villa" has an owner again. According to Young Master Yan himself, he was attacked by a masked man on his way out to visit friends years ago. This man's skill is so high that it is really difficult to find few people in the world who can compete with him, so he was captured and locked up in a prison. In an unknown manor for a year.All my clothes were taken away by the masked man, and the headless body was transported back to my home.

The funny thing is that one year after his death, the masked man released him back unscathed. "Ghost Catcher" and Li Yuanwai were quite surprised by this incident. They were also speechless in astonishment. Young Master Yan avoided visitors, and everyone who came to visit returned disappointed. Fortunately, "Ghost Catcher" and Li Yuanwai got more information from Daddy Qian than anyone else. "The young master is crazy." "Ghost Catcher" and Li Yuanwai were dumbfounded. "After the first young master came back and found out about the second young master, he was very excited, and then he heard that his only son had died, so he went crazy like that. Now he is delirious and doesn't know anything. I really don't know what happened to the Yan family. What kind of evil has been committed, and the village is full of gloom. Hey - where did I start!"

"Is there any news about the young mistress?" "Ghost Catcher" asked. "When the eldest young mistress left that day, Mr. Qian, you were also there, and she hasn't heard anything back until now. I think she would rush back if she knew that the young master was not dead. I really can't figure out why she thought the corpse was the eldest Young master, isn't this another big joke." "Father, do you know that your youngest mistress knows martial arts? And is there anything unusual about her recently?" Li Yuanwai asked again. "I haven't heard of the eldest young lady being able to use martial arts before, and I don't know how she can do martial arts. She didn't care much about things in the village before, but it can be seen that she is a good woman. The daily life of the eldest and second young masters It was all taken care of by her. From the day she saw the body of the eldest young master, her whole person changed, as if she was a different person, and she didn't say a word all day. Then she took the young master to the small North Street, as servants, we think she may be afraid of seeing things and thinking about things. As for other places, I don't see anything abnormal."

"In your opinion, would your second young master really do something like rape your sister-in-law?" "Ghost Catcher" asked. "The two young masters were all brought up by my old money. It is absolutely impossible for the second young master to do such a thing. Yes, the eldest young mistress is recognized as a great beauty, but the second young master has always treated the elder sister-in-law like a mother." Go respect her, every servant in the village can see it, if it is said that the second young master would rape the eldest young mistress with a knife, I would not believe it if she was killed."

"Kaishou Xiaodai" is going crazy. He has been wandering around in this mountainous area for four days. This mountain area is not big, but it is very high, just forty miles outside Pingyang County. The whole mountain is full of strange rocks and cliffs everywhere. The locals call it Black Mist Mountain. Just because it is surrounded by a layer of black mist all year round. Everyone nearby knows it, and it is not easy to enter the mountain, because it is easy to get lost in it, and only those who know the path well can get out with confidence. Xiaodai couldn't imagine how he was tricked into this place.

To follow is to follow in the footsteps of others.When Xiao Dai confirmed that the young mistress went in, he certainly followed in without hesitation. He was also afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it if he lost it, and it was getting dark. If you want to withdraw and quit, you can no longer discern the way you came. So he turned around in this black mist for four days like a blind man turning a millstone. Fortunately, there are some fruits in this villa that can satisfy hunger and thirst. He really couldn't imagine how long he would be trapped by this haunted mountain. He also knew that he could go out with one foot, but it was only a matter of time. He just couldn't hold back his temper and slowly looked for a way out, because he knew that there must be many things waiting for him to do outside, and Yuanwai and "Ghost Catcher" must have wished to gnaw him alive at this moment. It's night again. Looking at the bright moon, Xiaodai was tired, thirsty, and even more hungry. I really couldn't figure out how I could be so unlucky. After more than ten days of horseback riding, although I didn't use my two legs, the skeleton of my whole body was almost shaken apart.When I arrived at the field, I wanted to find an easy job, so I asked Yuanwai Li to sell stinky tofu under the sun, and I hid to the side to do the idle business of "watching the wind and tracking", and I just drank two days of old wine comfortably, Unexpectedly, the Young Mistress of Yanda took him to this ghostly mountain like a monkey, and walked around for four full days.The two legs almost didn't break because they had to find a way out.Think about it, if he knew that he would sell stinky tofu, wouldn't the matter of "following the wind" fall on Yuanwai Li, so now it's his turn to watch the moon and rub his legs. One miscalculation, the whole game is lost, let alone Xiaodai's uselessness. Looking at the round moon, I couldn't help but think of Yuanwai Li's round face.When I think of Yuanwai Li's face, I also think of his smile. It seems that the moon is also laughing, smiling so narrowly. It also seems to be telling itself that the dumb people even have dumb names, which is a fact that they will never be able to admit. The moon is like a big cake, I really want to take a bite. When a man is very hungry, his power of association becomes absurd. "Kuaishou Xiaodai" is this kind of thinking now. The dark shadows of the mountains, the dark rocks and strange rocks. His eyes looked out hungry, as if everything was pitch black. No! It's not pitch black. Because Xiaodai found the sparks, right in the interlacing of strange rocks. His legs moved again, fast. Where there is fire, there must be someone. Some people say, hey...there must be something to eat. Xiao Dai has already hummed a song happily, as if he has seen several hunters around a fire, and on that fire is a roast boar, or goat, and of course wine. If he had known that the fire was started by the two people on the opposite side, Xiaodai would rather be blind than find out for the rest of his life. Where there is fire, there must be someone, yes. Where there are people, there must be food, not bad. The problem is that what is grilled on the grill is not boars or goats, but two legs—two human legs. Xiaodai vomited, and all he vomited was acid water. Those two people were like being poured out of the same mold, equally ugly and equally scary, their faces were as pale as white paper, their eyebrows were protruding, and the white teeth in their two big mouths were even more like saws. "You're here, but it's late. You've finished eating all the delicious food, and that's all that's left." The man on the left looked at Xiao Dai and said in a sinister manner. The words spoken are weird, and the voice is flat and monotonous, which makes the ears feel even more chilly. Xiaodai didn't answer, so what can you ask him to say in this situation? He really doubted whether these two people were still alive, and the atmosphere created by such a place and such a scene was so strange. "Why don't you speak? Do you know that Ah Da and I have been looking for you in this mountain area for two days?" Another person said even more sinisterly. "Brother 'Cannibal' Zawtooth?" Xiaodai asked blurted out as he remembered. "Good eyesight, little brother, although Ada and I don't know who you are, you can tell our names at a glance, um, not bad... hehe... not bad, it must be good." Si Yuyan kept looking up and down at Xiao Dai, and laughed strangely. I don't know if the series of "not bad" really means that Xiao Dai has good eyesight, or if it means something else. "What's the reason? You seem to be waiting for me here on purpose." "It's just taking you out, of course it's taking you out in the stomachs of our two brothers." The second child said with a "light" and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Following the other person's swallowing movements, Xiaodai seemed to have really entered the person's stomach. "How do you know I'm here? Who is the person who told you? Even if you want to eat me, at least you should tell me the reason? 'Kill without teaching' is a little unreasonable?" "Of course, of course, I will tell you this. Otherwise, if you eat you and you die in it, you will make trouble for us and make our stomachs hurt. It's not worth it!" "Second brother, hurry up and finish, the more I look at this gentleman, the more itchy I become." "Ada, okay, okay, let me explain clearly, don't worry, don't worry." These "sawtooth brothers" were well-known villains in Huaibei area more than ten years ago. They are addicted to eating human flesh, and their actions are even more vicious and evil. Just when the righteous warriors of the martial arts were about to encircle and suppress them, they disappeared. I didn't know where to go, but I didn't expect to meet "Kaishou Xiaodai" in this Black Mist Mountain. "Little brother, well, I'd better call you Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Xiao, we brothers also follow orders, and of course it is our leader's order. Otherwise, why have I waited for you here for two days? So you Are you satisfied?" "Who is your leader?" "Hey! Hey! You don't need to know about this. In fact, even we don't know. How can I tell you this? Anyway... Anyway, when you get to Hades, you just need to say that it was my idea! The words are finished, How do you want to die, little man? Deep-fried? Fire-roasted? Or raw-fried? Let us know, and we will definitely do what you want." Growing up so big, Xiao Dai never thought that one day people would be able to entertain people in such a way, that someone would want to eat him. "I don't think it's useless for me to beg you, right? Well! Anyway, I'm starving too, 'cannibalism' let's see who ate who—" Before he finished speaking, he saw that a piece of palm force had reached the throat of the boss of the "Sawtooth Brother" like a meteor, and the quick movement seemed that the palm force had stopped there in the first place. With a strange cry, the boss reacted extremely quickly, and only managed to escape the sudden blow by flying back a long way. I saw him yelling angrily: "Second brother, second child, this husband is quite tough, be careful!" While the second child was stunned, "Kaishou Xiaodai" didn't chase the boss, but turned around, and attacked the second child again with a net-like palm force. Trying his best to meet the enemy, the "Jawtooth" second child has already pulled out a skull stick made of human bones, spun a round of light and shadow and sealed it towards Xiaodai. The boss who had just been forced to retreat also swept over like a gust of wind, holding two maces with both hands, and the spikes on the sticks were blue in the moonlight. Killed. "Kaishou Xiaodai" had a smile on the corner of his mouth, the knife in his hand stood up straight, and he cut straight forward, and kicked his left leg backwards in a weird way, a bit like a golden rooster standing alone. "Sawtooth" the second son saw that Xiaodai held the knife straight up, and before he could think about it, the skeleton cast iron pole in his hand was cut off abruptly, and the sound of breaking was heard, and the shadow of a palm had arrived Less than a foot in front of him, he hastily retreated, and his chest was cut in a dangerous situation. Stunned there, looking at the broken skeleton stick in his hand, the second child "Sawtooth" really didn't understand how the opponent's palm could cut through pig iron like a sharp blade, let alone how the opponent's hand knife could reach his eyes so quickly. But the boss was not so lucky, at the same time as Xiaodai was kicking behind his left leg, it was extremely unbelievable that Xiaodai's other hand had already cut off the seeds of his own head, although the mace in his hand was raised upwards He intercepted the ghost hand, but he couldn't dodge the kick. With a stagger and a mouthful of blood, the boss of "Zawtooth" has fallen to a seat a foot away. All of this happened quickly and ended quickly, only in the time of people blinking a few times. "You...you...who are you?" the boss "Zawtooth" said while coughing. Touching the back of his head, "Kuaishou Xiaodai" slowly said: "So you still bleed! I thought I had really met a ghost, um, it's easy to bleed, and if you bleed, it means you are alive. It’s not so scary to be a living person, because a living person can become a dead person, but a dead person cannot become a living person, right? Who am I? Now you think of asking who I am? Mr. Mrs., that’s not what you call me ?" Seeing Xiaodai's obedient expression despite paying cheaply, the boss "Sawtooth" choked out another mouthful of blood, gasping for breath, unable to even speak. The second child suddenly backed away with a strange expression, and said in horror: "Xiaodai! Are you 'Kaishou Xiaodai'?" "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my son, what's there to be afraid of, the cannibals are the kings of your pair, and I don't know how to cannibal, come on, since you know me, you should know me It’s the habit of saying, ‘Shoot with a sword, and you will never return.’ Now it’s time for me to ask you how you want to die, do you want me to do it for you? Or do you do it yourself?” "'Kaishou Xiaodai', 'Single-handed strike, no return'..." The sawtooth boss coughed and whispered. Suddenly, I figured it out, my face was already pale, and now I don't even have a trace of blood. No matter how cruel the "sawtooth" is, if you just tell others, you won't be vicious when you meet someone who is more vicious than yourself.Anyone in the rivers and lakes knows that "Kaishou Xiaodai" has no enemies, only friends, and the meaning of having no enemies means that everyone who is an enemy of Xiaodai is dead. They want people's lives all day long, but when others want their own lives, the feeling will be very different. What's ridiculous is that the two "sawtooth" brothers didn't know the evil star was in front of them, and they said that they were right and wrong, hurting others. "I think maybe now you will remember who your boss is? Well, can you tell me?" Xiao Dai squinted at the pair of twin brothers. "'Kaishou Xiaodai', did we tell you that we can leave this place?" The second child said with a glint of hope in his eyes. "Your request is a little too much. It is not an exaggeration to punish your past deeds and the bad habit of eating human flesh. Tell me! Anyway, I will consider the situation..." Suddenly, a little cold star hit the back of Kuaishou Xiaodai's head with the sound of breaking through the air. Lowering his head and twisting his body, Xiao Dai's arrow-like body shot towards the direction of the hidden weapon. Just as he was about to approach the boulder, a black shadow soared into the sky, and at the same time at least ten hidden weapons were covering Xiaodai together. The forward body kept the original speed, and the hands repeatedly slashed left and right, and a strong wind has completely shocked all kinds of hidden weapons that were about to approach without a trace. Xiao Dai has always been confident in his ability to chase people, but this time he is no longer sure.Because he found that the person in front of him was as light as a swallow, and his posture was very beautiful, and his speed was faster, he had thrown himself far, far away in the blink of an eye. The man was lost again. Even counting this time, it was the third time. Xiaodai was so angry that he really wanted to bump his head into the pile of rocks to death. I can't imagine how to explain this matter after meeting Li Yuanwai, not to mention that others will not believe it, even I myself don't believe it is true. The meaning of the four words "Kuaishou Xiaodai" is not just Xiaodai's quick hands, Xiaodai's feet are famous for being fast, just because "Kaishou Xiaodai" is not as good as "Kaishou Xiaodai", so That's why people call me "quick-handed little fool", not to mention "quick-footed little fool" to people who don't know how to study it, they think that their feet are fast because they can escape quickly. As expected, Xiao Dai returned to the original place, and the pair of "sawtooth" brothers had disappeared. When the sun just came out, Xiao Dai jumped off the boulder. He carefully searched back and forth on the ground where he was attacked by hidden weapons last night. He wanted to find those hidden weapons, just because he never wanted to be attacked in the open, and that person was hiding in the dark. . "The more you know about the enemy, the more chances you have of surviving." This is "Kaishou Xiaodai".Many people know the words of wisdom, and some people even tattoo these words on their bodies, chests or arms! There are a total of eleven hidden weapons, and Xiaodai had already counted them clearly the moment they touched them last night. Now the eleven hidden weapons are lined up on a flat stone under the rising sun.Four caltrops, three steel shuttles, two star darts, a throwing knife, and a chrysanthemum. This miscellaneous chrysanthemum seems to be made of steel sheet, a thin piece, the periphery is extremely sharp, and it is silvery white. Seeing this chrysanthemum, Xiao Dai was really a little dumbfounded. In the years of life in the rivers and lakes, I can't even count the people I met, but I have never even heard that someone's hidden weapon is made of a chrysanthemum. Others are relatively common, and there is no clue. Trying to figure out who the man in black was last night was a headache. But Xiao Dai smiled, because at least he knew. 1. After all, there are not many people in the world who can launch so many hidden weapons at the same time. 2. That person is a woman, but not Young Mistress Yanda, because she is more plump than Young Mistress Yanda. Although at night, the other party's figure is fast, but for a man, women are the most sensitive to him.Especially Xiaodai, even if you completely cover a person with a wooden barrel, he can still guess whether the person inside is a man or a woman just by feeling. Li Yuanwai once teased him that even if there is a puppy in the barrel, Xiaodai can guess whether the dog is a female or a male! Whether a person is smart or not is not determined by words. "Kaishou Xiaodai" actually hummed a song. The song was a good song, but he made up the lyrics. A woman is so plump and runs so fast. The hidden weapon technique is superb, and it can even throw chrysanthemums. Xiaodai is such a person, he has a lot of abilities, but others can't learn to have fun while suffering, so Xiaodai is Xiaodai. He left again, walking straight in the direction of the woman last night. Because he figured it out, the direction the woman was going in must be the direction the person was going out, and when people ran, they must always run towards the exit, if she was familiar with the environment. Yuanwai Li and "Ghost Catcher" went to "Huiyan Villa" again. They wanted to see the crazy Young Master Yan, and they hoped to find something from him. Although Er Shao committed suicide, the cause of the incident was the disappearance of Young Master Yan and the rumor that he was dead.Of course, this is two things, and it has nothing to do with it at all, but the two of them just felt that something was wrong, a subconscious feeling. People who walk at night clearly know that there is nothing behind them, but they can't help but look back several times.This is the case with Yuanwai Li and "Ghost Catching", but they hope that they can really see something when they look back occasionally, even if it is a ghost. As soon as Father Qian led the two of them into the backyard, he found Young Master Yan running out of his room with disheveled hair, crossing the wall of the village, and rushing all the way towards the back mountain, shouting and laughing, slurred in his mouth talking. Member Wai Li wanted to move, but was caught by the "ghost catcher". "It doesn't matter, Eldest Young Master has always been running around like this since he went crazy, and he will come back by himself after a while." Father Qian sighed and hissed. "A person who has lost his mind, his martial arts are still there. Tie Butou, you see how fast young master Yan is. The two brothers of the Yan family are really the best in martial arts. Alas! One died, and the other went crazy... "Wai Li originally had a smile on his face, but when he mentioned the second young master, even if he wanted to pretend, he couldn't fake his usual smile, and said to "Ghost Catcher" in astonishment. Without answering, "Ghost Catcher" just stared at the direction where Young Master Yan passed away, thinking about something. After a few days of getting along, I somewhat understood this big head catcher who can catch even ghosts, but Li Yuanwai shrugged and didn't care. This is a spacious study, but messy. Accompanied by Father Qian, member Wai Li and "Ghost Catcher" casually browsed the surrounding decorations. "Ghost Catcher" looked at an unfinished painting of chrysanthemums on the table, but the ink stains were obviously old, and said to Father Qian, "Young Master Yan likes chrysanthemums, doesn't he?" It was only then that Li Yuanwai discovered that there were seven paintings of chrysanthemums hanging on the wall of this study room, ones in bud, ones with pistils emerging, ones in full bloom, white ones, yellow ones, and ones with splashed ink.Well-drawn. All of a sudden, it seems to be in a chrysanthemum garden. "Yes, the young master likes chrysanthemums very much, and also likes to draw chrysanthemums." Is it any wonder that a person likes chrysanthemums?Just like some people like to eat braised pork, some people like to eat fish. The investigators were skeptical about everything, Li Yuanwai thought it was a little funny, so he laughed. Strangely tilting his head, "Ghost Catcher" glared at Yuanwai Li, and said indifferently, "What's so funny? Da Yuanwai?" Startled, the member Wai Li stuttered and said: "Laughing... laughing...isn't it against the law? I just thought of your tone of voice, as if it's okay for people to like chrysanthemums. I wanted to laugh so I laughed." "Find something suspicious and investigate it to the end, especially some special people, things, places, and things. This is also my experience in handling cases for decades. You are young and ignorant, but remember to pay attention to everything around you. In the future, I won’t be fooled, if I don’t listen—” "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes, right? Big catcher, please forgive me! Just now I just smiled, and your uncle started training on the former three emperors and the last five emperors. Isn't this torture? People..." After taking over the unfinished words, member Wai Li smiled happily and talked like a cannonball. Waiting is tiring. After waiting for a day, Young Master Yan did not come back. Yuanwai Li and the "Ghost Catcher" had no choice but to return to Pingyang County fortunately. It was just when they left "Huiyan Villa".Young Master Yan is back. Things in the world are always like this, deliberately waiting, often can't wait for a result. It seems that there are beggars in any corner of any town. Not all beggars are members of the beggar gang, but where there are beggars, you can definitely contact people from the beggar gang. All the beggars within a radius of 300 miles in Pingyang County received a bamboo badge order from the "Honorary Chief Inspector". Once they found someone dressed like "Kuaishou Xiaodu", they would report back immediately. It's really hard to describe a person completely by dictation alone. Therefore, as long as any teenager in Chinese clothes in a radius of 300 miles in Pingyang County is on the street, he will meet at least five times a day—and be asked by others: "Are you a 'Kaishou Xiaodu'?" So all of a sudden everyone knew that "Kuaishou Xiaodai" had arrived near Pingyang County, which was not a big news. In the world of martial arts, all heroes are admired, and Kuai Shao is also admired. The name of "Kuaishou Xiaodai" is enough to be called a hero and a chivalrous man, so everyone pays attention to it, fearing that he will miss this famous person in the world.
