    Cha Jun is dead, Feng Ping is dead, Laidong is dead, Cao Shan is dead

    Two nights ago, a fire broke out in Cha Jun's house. The mud-brick house was burned into ruins, and they were burned into a pile of ashes.

    Several villagers who live nearby saw with their own eyes that the missing Feng Ping and his friends did go to Cha Jun's house that night. Zhang Kai's Tavern on East Street also testified that they planned to have a hot pot meal in the evening and bought some wine and food.  Perhaps it was the accidental fire that caused the hot pot that led to this tragedy.

    But was it really just a fire?  It's not that simple.

    The villagers heard the sounds of fighting, screams, and roars They knew what was happening there, but no one went to see what was going on. First, Zha Jun and his gang were harming the village.  Bullies usually bully them enough and there is nothing to help them; secondly, they don¡¯t want to get into trouble.  So when the fire broke out and the flames shot into the sky, there was still no one to put out the fire.

    When the fire stopped, no evidence of the murder could be found. Only the charred broken wall with large dark red bloodstains silently told the truth of that night.

    Five lives at a time!  In just two days, this murder and arson case has caused an uproar in Goodtown.

    Unlike some border cities, Goode, which is close to the sea and has many fields, is not disturbed by ferocious animals and has warriors stationed there for a long time. Therefore, it has always had good public security. Even if the trade ships bring a high flow of people, there are usually only some sneaking around and fighting.  Murder and arson have not been seen for a long, long time. Even during the famine period when people starved to death, there was no murder case.

    And now, five lives!  The biggest case ever in Goodtown!

    Who did it?  Who in these four villages and eight villages doesn¡¯t know that Zha Jun¡¯s gang of ruffians are fierce and powerful, and they are protected by the government officials To be killed like this, that guy is too fierce!

    With such courage and force, it seems that a warrior should have done it, but if a warrior killed him, he would not need to set fire to the house to hide his identity.  So it was done by civilians, who exactly?  Every villager is talking about it, and there are already many rumors. Some say it was done by a coolie at a certain dock, and some say it was a sailor from a certain ship After all, Zha Jun and others have too many enemies, and there are really countless suspects.  Come.

    "We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't panic, just do your autumn harvest work well. Don't be unable to pay the public food by then, then you will be in big trouble."

    Mayor Chen from the government said that the Inspector General Wu Ai happened to go out of town with his guards in the past few days, but when he comes back, everything will come to light!  At the town market, Mayor Chen said emphatically in front of the villagers: "If he is not a righteous warrior, no matter who he is, this guy is dead! He will be punished by Dongrao law.  , kill for life!"

    ¡°In fact, how can the government care about the lives of a few civilians?  Especially when there is no public grievance at all.

    "Well done!", "If I knew who did it, I would definitely erect a monument to him!", "That scoundrel Zha Jun should have died long ago."

    Many villagers and dock coolies applauded secretly, and even waved their arms and fists in excitement. He is really a great hero who eliminates harm for the people!  As soon as he heard the news that Zha Jun and the others were dead, Luo Tai burst into tears and couldn't hold back his tears.

    Zha Jun and the others were beaten up by a warrior a year ago. Many people believed that it was the warrior who passed by again this time. They really hoped that the warrior could kill all the bullies in Gude!  For a while, other local gangsters did not dare to cause trouble, fearing that someone would suddenly kill them.

    Although there were a lot of discussions, many people vaguely knew, and Luo Tai vaguely knew, that it should be that person who did it. Cha Jun and the others would die sooner or later, but that person just quit his job at the dock and was going to die in Giant Rock City.  There are fresh scars on that man's face, it can't be anyone else

    ¡ª¡ª

    The whistle sounded long and loud, the woods on the coast were full of autumn, the grass and trees were covered with a layer of golden yellow, and the autumn leaves on the ground were piled up in clusters; the osmanthus tree was blooming brilliantly, and the petals were pale yellow and fragrant, flying and falling one by one.

    After killing Cha Jun and five lives, his mood was very peaceful, just like the autumn scent floating in the air, it was a kind of harvest.

    But Wu Ai appointed Zha Jun as the "Captain of the Xiangyong Brigade". Now that these Xiangyong have been eradicated, it is equivalent to a slap in the face and it is a major case. Xin Lie and old man Jino both know that when Wu Ai comes back  We will really investigate thoroughly later.  I don¡¯t want things to change. After all, the Inspector General has too much power. As long as Xin Lie is the most suspicious, he will be deemed to have done it regardless of whether there is direct evidence or not.

    So Xin Lie advanced the departure date and left in the evening!

    Old man Jino knows someone and has entrusted him with the "Golden Valley" cargo sailing ship.Xinlie boarded the ship, provided meals and worked as a handyman, and only needed 1 tael of silver for travel expenses.  Xin Lie pretended to be an ordinary farmer who went to the giant rock to work and make a living. He didn't say anything about preparing to take the warrior examination. You must know that two taels of gold is not much, but it is not much.

    Because he left in a hurry and kept a low profile, only old man Jino, boss Zhang Kai, and the Jiang family brothers and sisters came to the pier to see Xin Lie off.

    "When you get on the boat and arrive at the Rock City, you have to be careful about everything, do you understand?"

    The wrinkles on old Jino's face deepened again, "Be careful with everything." Xin Lie couldn't remember how many times he heard him say this. The old man had endless instructions, as if this journey was not worth being happy about.  , but rather worrying.

    "Yes, I know." Xin Lie nodded. Jiang Wan asked Jiang Wan to help sew a dozen stitches on the wound on his forehead. In order to cover it, he put on a blue forehead band. He was wearing clean cloth clothes that had been washed white, and his shoulders were slanted.  Carrying a cloth bag full of clothes and luggage, although he looked like a poor boy from the countryside, he had an air of heroism about him.

    There were no outsiders around. Xin Lie took out a large bag of copper coins from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and said softly: "Manager Jino, these money were taken from Zha Jun and the others. You can return them to the original owner. I think that Wu  Ai will continue to find people to collect protection fees. The money can cover it for a while, but" He frowned, but what should he do next?  Although there are hateful and hateful people there, there are also many honest people like Luo Tai.

    "Don't worry about it." Jino sighed, but there was nothing he could do. "The Inspector General controls one side" was not an empty talk. He didn't want to blame Xin Lie for killing someone impulsively. He only asked: "Remember, be patient  "

    However, what the old man didn't expect was that Xin Lie, who had always been well-behaved, shook his head and interrupted him decisively: "Manager Jino, I don't like to cause trouble or overestimate my abilities, but I won't tolerate it anymore!" He smiled.  Laughing, he continued: "You didn't tell me, but I've heard that there are different levels of strength among warriors. If everything is tolerable, then there will be higher ones after the higher ones. How long can I endure it!? Why don't I just die in ancient times?  Dezhen?"

    After all, it is the nature of youth!  Jino couldn't help but let out a long sigh, which attracted Zhang Kai and others who were a few steps away to look over. The old man said: "But Xin Lie, things in the world are not as simple as you think, let alone what you think will happen."

    "Of course I know." Xin Lie refuted him again, with firm eyes, "But I will work hard to fight, change, and realize it! Just like now."

    Jino nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking, but his wrinkles tightened, and he still spoke earnestly: "Xin Lie, promise me, no matter what changes you encounter, you will accept it calmly take care of yourself.  "

    "Well! Manager Jino, thank you for your care over the years. I will never forget it. Thank you!"  To separate

    Jino also hugged him tightly, and reluctantly let go after a while. He kept murmuring: "Take care of yourself, be careful with everything, be careful with everything"

    "Boy, pay attention to safety, everything comes second, life is the most important!" Zhang Kai bared his big yellow teeth and said what he thought was the true meaning of life, and said solemnly: "If you meet that warrior named Sota, tell him  , Gude¡¯s wine is the best in the world!¡± Xin Lie nodded with a smile and hugged him: ¡°I will do it.¡±

    "Xin Lie." Jiang Peng called out without saying anything. Xin Lie and him hugged each other, both of them well aware of each other's reluctance. Jiang Peng smiled and said, "I really want to go with you" But he  His parents and sister needed to be taken care of by him, the older boy. Xin Lie patted him on the shoulder. Brothers understood everything.

    "Brother Xin Lie" Jiang Wan's almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and the two braids were slightly swayed by the sea breeze.  Why does she feel so uncomfortable when she thinks about his future?  I hope he passes the exam and becomes a warrior, because that is his dream, that is his world I don't want him to pass the exam, I don't want him to become a warrior, because that is not her world

    Jiang Wan lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and said softly: "You must take good care of yourselfDon't skip meals to save money, don't skip buying clothes, don't"

    "Wan'er." Xin Lie interrupted her, knowing the girl's thoughts, buthe kept a straight face and prevented himself from speaking in a gentle voice: "Listen to your brother."

    "Well, well" Jiang Wan choked and nodded, tears still welling up. She raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes, trying to remember his appearance, and choked again: "And your wounds,  Remember to clean it, the stitches can be removed after five days, wuwu" She finally couldn't help crying.

    Just as Xin Lie was about to say something, everyone heard an urging shout from the "Jingu": "The ship is about to sail, the gangplank is drawn, hurry up!"

      "Here we come!" Xin Lie responded loudly, then bent down and hugged the big yellow dog that followed the brothers and sisters. It was wagging its tail and panting slightly with its head. He stroked its head and said:  "You have to be obedient and protect your master" He stood up and smiled at Jiang Wan: "Wan'er, you often tell me, no matter how your life goes, you must always live happily, okay?"

    "Okay, okay!" Jiang Wan nodded desperately, tears falling one after another. She opened her arms and hugged him. She didn't let go until the urging sound came again. The clothes on Xin Lie's chest were already soaked with tears.  After a while, she wiped away her tears and smiled with difficulty: "You too, you have to have a happy life!"

    Jiang Peng hugged his sister's shoulders and comforted him. Jino and Zhang Kai said nothing. Under their gazes, Xin Lie strode onto the wooden sailboat "Jingu". The wind seemed to carry the breath of a foreign land, and the smell of his hometown  The smell is dissipating.

    Seeing Xin Lie boarding the ship, the coolies carrying goods back and forth in the distance shouted in surprise. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the Jingu. That boy really went to the giant rock!  I really went to the Rock!  !  Could it be that he really went to take the warrior assessment?  ?  Could it be that he would really become a warrior!  ?

    "I want to go to Giant Rock in the future because I want to be a warrior This is my dream."

    Perhaps it was in his ears, or perhaps in his heart, a childish voice suddenly sounded, but it shocked his heart to the point of suffocation. Luo Tai, among the coolies, had a confused face, and an idea kept coming to his mind. He also thought, stand on that  Boat¡­¡­

    "And Jino and others know that maybe this is the last time they see Xin Lie. No matter whether he becomes a warrior or not, he will stay in the giant rock. Because of those five lives, he can't come back to Gude.  From the moment he stepped onto the ship, they were already in two different worlds.

    The sailors put away the gangplank and untied the cables. Several huge white sails had already been raised high. When the sea breeze blew, the Jingu set sail!

    "Goodbye!" Looking at Xin Lie standing by the deck railing, Jino was in tears, Zhang Kai grinned, and kept waving and saying goodbye.

    "Xin Lie, goodbye!" Jiang Peng also shouted, his voice trembling.

    "Brother Xin Lie, goodbye!" Jiang Wan's clear voice almost broke, her heart ached, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

    Watching the boat go away, the big yellow dog was wagging its tail, walking around, and barking: "Woof, woof, woof!"

    The figure on the shore was getting further and further away, and his face was getting blurry. Xin Lie waved his right hand vigorously, his eyes filled with hot tears, and shouted: "Goodbye, goodbye!"
