Chapter 95: Late Night Rain
shhhhh--

The festering cow hoof was placed on the bench. The man took a sidelong glance at it, then chopped it a few times with a rusty long knife, which made the old farmer next to him frown and tremble with fear.

If someone else was so careless, he would have kicked the person out of the way long ago, but Yue Er's cooking skills were well-known in the area. His cuts seemed rough but were actually very precise, and no matter how he cut, he would not hurt the flesh and tendons inside.

This is a truly capable person. If it weren't for the well-known "accident" back then, people like him would never have ended up living as idlers in this remote place.

"Yue Er."

The old farmer squatting under the eaves and smoking a pipe asked, "The New Year is coming soon. Are you still celebrating it in the village this year?"

Yue Guanshan raised his eyes when he heard the voice and said with a smile: "Where else can I go if not in the village? When the New Year comes, I will come to your house. Will you be kind enough to give me a bowl of dumplings?"

"Hey, what's a bowl of dumplings?"

Having lived in the same village for several years, the neighbors all understood his temper, so the old farmer spoke with less scruples:

"But if you ask me, there are no fathers and brothers who are not wrong in the world. Why should you be angry with your family? You should go home earlier and -"

boom!
The sound of a knife chopping rang out, and a blood spot immediately appeared on the white cut surface of the cow's hoof on the stool. Yue Guanshan seemed not to notice and raised the knife again -

"Hey, hey, hey! No more talking! Be gentle!"

The old farmer's face twitched with distress: "My family's ten acres of land depends on this cow! It's really sloped, I have to jump into the river!"

Snapped--

The rusty knife hit the bench.

The old farmer took two puffs of his pipe before he recovered. The smoke lingered for a long time and he let out a long sigh.

"Speaking of the Yu family, I have seen them before. They were a girl, very pretty, riding a pony and carrying a spear, looking very impressive. I still remember that side of her."

"..."

"It's strange, when I came back from the fields at noon, I saw a man and a woman riding horses in the drizzle on the roadside. They looked just like they were in a painting. The man was okay, but the woman reminded me of the girl when I saw her from afar. They were both carrying guns and riding horses. Just one look at them made me remember them."

Yue Guanshan listened silently, then put the repaired cow hoof on the ground and said calmly: "The Yu family uses lances, not guns. The lance is longer than the gun. Don't confuse them in the future, sir."

"Can humans still use the spear?"

The old farmer was shocked and stretched out his hand to gesture, "The spear I saw this afternoon was longer than the horse, more than ten feet long. If the spear is this long, then the halberd——"

"how long?!"

"More than ten feet, half of it is still hanging on the horse, it looks scary."

"..."

His heartbeat, which he hadn't felt for many years, began to beat again. Yue Guanshan suppressed his uneasiness and asked, "Master, where did you see those two?"

"On the official road, riding south - hey, Yue Er, why are you walking, have you finished your repairs?"

Breaking into the slanting drizzle, Yue Guanshan walked quickly, with an uncontrollable excitement in his heart coupled with a vague foreboding premonition.

There is a spear heading south.

Is it her? Is she still there?
If she really wasn't dead, then why did she suddenly come back this time...

Boom——

The night rain that I missed five years ago seems to be late today.

Bang bang bang.

After knocking on the door for a while, footsteps were heard in the martial arts hall. When the door opened, the person inside poked his head out impatiently and said:

"Are you here to become my disciple? Come back after the New Year. My master Zhang will not accept disciples before the New Year."

Outside the door, the young man with slightly damp clothes smiled dazzlingly and said, "Could this senior brother please go in and report to me? I am very sincere."

"Big? How big? Bigger than the sky?"

Seeing how handsome and heroic the newcomer was, the martial arts disciples inside felt disgusted subconsciously. They were about to sneer at him and send him away, but they saw the young man move aside and a veiled and plump woman like a gourd walked forward.

"Senior brother, are these enough as the apprenticeship fee?"

The woman shook a stack of banknotes in her hand at him, and her voice was so gentle that it seemed to be able to hook into people's hearts, making the disciple's heart flutter instantly.

"Are you here to become my disciple as well?"

"That's right~"

"Alright, for your sake, Senior Brother, I'll go in and report this."

As he spoke, he walked quickly, but he had already made up his mind to ask the master to keep the girl instead of the boy. This way, he would be the first to get the moon, and his happy days would not be far away.

Not long after.

A man and a woman were led into the main hall. Zhang Zhichen, dressed in rich attire, sat on a high seat and immediately stared at the stack of banknotes in the woman's hand.

Very sincere!

"cough--"

He started with a cough, and said in a strong voice: "You two want to join my Zhang family martial arts school?"

"Exactly."

"Then let your senior brother introduce it to you first."

After saying that, the disciple who led the two in immediately came up to the girl and enthusiastically introduced the history of the martial arts school and Master Zhang's reputation and status in the martial arts world.

"Brother, there is no need to introduce me. I already knew about it before I came here."

As she spoke, the haunting eyes and eyebrows under the veil smiled and looked at the high seat: "Who in Guanzhong Jianghu doesn't know the Zhang family?"

Others thought this was just a compliment, but Zhang Zhichen took it seriously. He looked pleased with himself, but he said modestly:

"I am just accepting the compliment from my friends in the martial arts world. You can worship me as your master, but you'd better really want to learn my martial arts. Don't respect me as a righteous demon slayer like others do. If you come here for my reputation, you are not really here to learn martial arts."

"..."

Hearing this, the woman under the veil smiled and said, "Master, you are worrying too much. I am here with all my heart."

Now it was time to talk about the gift of tribute. Zhang Zhichen turned his gaze to the young man who had been silent since he came in and asked, "You two came here together, what is your relationship?"

"It's irrelevant. We just met on the road and wanted to become my disciples, so we came together." "In that case."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Zhichen, who had wanted to ignore his disciple's request before, suddenly became casual. He thought that he was just a fat sheep, so he could just get rid of the other one. If he stayed, it would easily cause trouble.

"I've already checked his body when he came in. He's not a good candidate for martial arts training. Let him go back."

"..."

The young man looked unwilling, but the martial arts disciple who led the two in directly stretched out his hand and pushed him, saying, "Hurry up and leave. You want to practice martial arts when your bones are in such a mess? Go back to farming as soon as possible."

"Everyone in Wanren Mountain says that my physique is one in a million, and you actually say that I can't do it—"

"Wanrenshan still talked about you, why don't you say that Zhen Qianqiu praised you and wanted to take you as a disciple?"

"No, we just appreciate each other—"

"Go away now!"

"..."

After driving the man away, Zhang Zhichen couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Young people nowadays like to brag."

"Yes~ I look at him the same way."

After a while, the martial arts disciple who had chased the man away came back and walked up to the woman impatiently, smiling warmly and saying, "Junior sister, we are all family from now on, why are you still wearing a veil? Take it off and salute the master."

Zhang Zhichen, who was sitting in the seat of honor, also put down his tea and looked at the woman who was reaching out to take off her veil with some anticipation in his heart.

moment.

When the disciple of the martial arts school saw the true face of the smiling woman in front of him, his eyes slightly opened and his heartbeat slowed down.

'How can I, xxx, have such good fortune in the future?'

After finally coming back to his senses, his smile was so attentive that he was almost becoming a bootlicker. He wished that his master would set a date for the wedding right away.

"Master, look, my junior sister is so beautiful..."

He turned his head and suddenly saw that the master sitting in front of him had a terribly stiff expression on his face. His excited tone could not help but lowered:
"Master?"

"..."

"Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well."

His new junior sister said to the abbot with a bright smile.

"Yu——"

Woohoo——

Bang——

Suddenly, there was an exaggerated sound of wind approaching outside the door, and then the door was broken and nailed to the ground. The martial arts disciples turned their heads and saw a two-meter-long spear halfway into the ground. The tail of the spear was still humming and trembling. Soon after -

A slender white hand grasped the spear and made it still. It was the junior sister who turned her head and smiled at him:

"Silly Junior Brother, why don't you run away?"

"..."

Boom——

The rain was getting heavier, but it couldn't cover the noise in the martial arts hall. Wei Mingqi was leaning on his dragon blood spear outside the door, not worried about the safety of the people inside at all.

During these five years, with the growing strength of Yu Qing himself and his subordinates, he could have avenged his family a year or two ago.

But this woman kept dragging her feet and not coming.

She said that she would let her enemies prosper and then make them suffer the same pain she suffered in the past?

Maybe a little.

But in the final analysis, he felt that it was women who were afraid.

What was he afraid of? He was afraid of losing his goal of revenge, and he was afraid of returning to the nightmare place he had five years ago.

She is not actually strong.

If he was really strong inside, he would have led people to do great things on his own, and would not have waited for this so-called young master to leave the palace.

She always says he is a child, but isn't she one too?
If she was allowed to follow her temper, who knows how long it would take. Being stubborn all day long is not a good thing, so Wei Mingqi had to force her to come this time.

Come and be her support, hand in hand, take her to each family, let her vent her anger, and let the thorns in her heart melt.

Only in this way can she relieve her depression and live a good life in the future.

As for the innocent people who might be harmed...

Wei Mingqi asked himself, aren't they innocent too?

Standing in the heavy rain, Wei Mingqi looked up at the gradually darkening sky, immersing his thoughts about Xie Beiling in it.

soon.

The martial arts school disciple ran out in panic, turned around and saw that the killer had not caught up, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go out to report to the Yue family -

"what!"

The young man standing in the rain curtain, looking up and letting the heavy rain wash over him, slowly lowered his head and grinned at him coldly:
"Brother, come out."

"..."

A few moments.

The girl in green skirt covered in blood came out, without even looking at the blood on the ground, she just walked quietly to stand beside the young man.

After a while of rain, a hand reached out and grasped her soft hand. The warmth dispelled the indifference on her face.

"Let's go."

"The next one."
