The side door of the Zhou house.

The open space beside the wall outside was covered with a blood-stained white cloth, surrounding a group of servants.

There was another blood-seeking white cloth next to it. Several maids squatted, lifted up the corners, held the dead maid's broken arms, and couldn't help crying.

It's dead...

Not even a coffin...

Two corpses and two white cloths, they were so simple that they were a little pitiful.

Fang Hong went out of the door, turned around, glanced at two white cloths: "My senses can't smell blood, it seems that I have been dead for a long time?"

I saw the white cloth covering the maid's body.

The broken arms were exposed at the corners, as if they were bitten by wild animals.

Fang Hong remembered the next door next door, where the five-year-old child in the family was taken away by a wild beast - this world is truly impermanent.

"I guess someone has informed the deceased's family."

"They just need to pay a few taels of silver."

For the Zhou family, this is not a problem, it can be settled easily.

There is a grievance here, and it is also a waste of time.

If the family of the deceased disagrees... they would rather not collect cash than ask for an explanation. If they make trouble in front of the village chief, they will only be dealt with by the officials at will and will be perfunctorily dealt with.

Fang Hong didn't watch the fun, so he raised his foot and walked back.

While it was still dawn, I bought half a pound of meat and a small bag of fruits and vegetables.

There are few pedestrians along the way.

Stone roads become dirt roads.

The scene on both sides has changed from neat bungalows to a vast golden field.

I saw smoke rising from the cooking stove.

Men and women who go to the fields to do farm work return home.

Old man Liu under the elm tree tells stories to the children.

"Today, let's tell a story about Wu Xiucai's case and eliminate the harm for the people."

Old Man Liu said happily, and when he saw Fang Hong, he waved: "Xiao Fang, come and listen?"

Fang Hong arrived in front of him: "There are only a few stories that have been tossing and turning, and I've been tired of hearing it."

“…”

Old Man Liu's face turned dark.

A boy surrounded him, seeing the fruits and vegetables in Fang Hong's hand, his eyes lit up. Qiqiai Ai came over, and it was Liugou, a boy next door.

Wang Liugou raised a finger: "A melon, you are my grandfather!"

"Eat it, eat it." Fang Hong was tired and threw a melon over.

Seeing this scene, the children around Old Man Liu opened their mouths wide and were all shocked. Then they rushed over and looked at Fang Hong with their eyes excitedly, timid, shy, or expectant shouting:

"Hello grandpa!"

"Grandpa Fang Hong, I want to eat melons too!"

"Grandpa Fang is so beautiful, so young... I only need half a melon, I will call him grandpa... If not, I can take a bite!"

The children were so excited, chattering and crowding together.

Fang Hong was inexplicably in a good mood and checked the number of people, with a total of twelve children.

Take out six melons from the bag and divide them into two halves.

Every child can eat fruits and vegetables.

Now, grandpa shouted more enthusiastically and louder.

Old Man Liu's eyes twitched and he remained silent.

Call me grandpa, there is a melon to eat... Old Man Liu is actually a little moved, but looking at Fang Hong's young face, he really can't speak.

A few moments.

The elders who heard the sound brought their children home.

The sound of beating and scolding and crying soon came to Fang Hong's ears... Strangely, there was no cry of Wang Liugou next door, only the woman's crying: "My strength, my son, how could this happen?"

Wang Liugou raised his little face and said, "Mom, why are you crying?"

The woman looked up and picked up Liugou, as if she was holding it tightly with all her strength. Liugou couldn't breathe and was so scared that she cried: "Mom, don't hit me, I really didn't recognize you!"

Dongdong.

A knock on the door sounded.

Fang Hong pushed open a crack, stood at the door, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Dali?"

The woman lowered her head and sobbed, holding the six dogs.

The house is silent.

Sometimes a trace of rice smell comes.

The dishes cooked in the pot were still steaming. Liu Gou rubbed his stomach and timidly said in a low voice: "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Boil rice."

The woman stood up with a blank expression and continued cooking.

At this time.

She looked at Fang Hong and said, "Dali and the lady from the master went out hunting. They were bitten to death by a leopard, and they almost implicated the lady from the master."

Wang Dali was dead... Fang Hong frowned and put down the melon in his hand.

It seems that the open space outside the side door of Zhou's house was covered with two red-dyed white cloths, one of which was covered with Wang Dali's body.

In this world... Fang Hong looked at the woman and didn't know how to comfort her.

The boy Liugou, who was standing in the house, was shrouded in silence, depressed state, and subconsciously felt afraid and dared not say anything.

Only the woman was cooking with a spatula, and the sound of clinking sounds made.

"Fang Hong, sit down and eat something." The woman greeted her as usual, with no expression on her face, as if she was numb and stiff, and shook her head and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot that you had eaten in the martial arts training ground... In the past, when Dali didn't go to the Zhou family, she would have to compete with you for food every day."

"Da Li is gone."

"You're not here anymore."

"Only six dogs left." The woman fed the boy with food, her eyes were empty and she muttered, which scared the boy so much that she trembled several times. She still didn't understand the meaning of her brother's death.

A few moments.

Fang Hong closed the door lightly and returned to the wooden house.

Upon hearing the news of Wang Dali's death, Fang Hong understood the importance of martial arts: "In Daqian, everything is inferior, but only martial arts are of high quality!"

Fang Hong restrained his distracting thoughts.

Run the power, activate the qi and blood, forming a circle of trajectories around the body.

Unconsciously, the qi and blood continue to penetrate the internal organs, like fire, gradually burning, becoming more and more tough and firm.

The next moment, the coolness grew again, like drinking a bowl of ice water in the hot desert, and the internal organs suddenly became comfortable and transparent.

This is a sign of a breakthrough.

The fifth layer of acquired nature, in which the five internal organs are intact, is to integrate qi and blood into the five internal organs: "At this stage of martial arts, it is a bit extraordinary... However, the qi and blood in my body are quite strong, and it will take two or three days to completely integrate into the five internal organs and spread throughout the body, copper and iron bones."

Fang Hong was not in a hurry.

He sat on the stone pier, tempered his qi and blood again, and his heart beat like a drum.

...

Wang Sangou's voice came from outside the house, as well as the indignant words of neighbors and comforting words. Fang Hong pushed the door out and saw Wang Sangou's face full of blood and his clothes became torn, as if he was rolling around on the ground, stained with soil and grass chips.

"What's going on?"

Fang Hong was confused and wanted to go back to the house, but ignored it.

But when I think of the past scenes, I think of the people in the county government saying that they are comparable to martial arts scholars.

Being low-key and developing silently does not mean being afraid of hands and feet.

"Forget it, I have been taking care of you for many years, and I can't watch it coldly in my opinion or reason... If nothing happens, I'd be too conscience." Fang Hong thought to himself, walked up and looked at Wang Sangou's injuries.

On the ground.

Neighbors hear the sound.

Wang Sangou wiped the blood from his face: "My son was not bitten to death by a leopard! The wound that the tiger and leopard bite was not that small!"
