Eating and sleeping are two basic physiological needs of human beings.
People often say that a person is blessed if he can eat and sleep.
This is true.
Since practicing martial arts, Li Yu's health has been getting better and better. Not only has his appetite greatly increased, but he can also fall asleep quickly at night and sleep soundly. He will never suffer from insomnia, snoring, drooling and other problems.
.
After eating, he practiced breathing and breathing skills every day. Li Yu lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep within a dozen breaths.
I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by some slight strange noises.
As a senior martial artist, Li Yu can be said to have a sharp ear and eyesight. Although this voice is not obvious, it cannot be hidden from him who still maintains a trace of vigilance while sleeping.
The sound came from outside, including subtle footsteps and faint voices.
As soon as Li Yu thought, the black tiger sword appeared in his palm.
He stood up, slowed down his steps, walked quietly, and came to the window to look out.
It was dark and windy outside, and a dark figure was carrying dry firewood back and forth and stacking it on the windows and doors, looking very sneaky and sneaky.
There was another dark figure standing guard at the door, holding a bright sharp knife in his hand.
"Firewood."
Li Yu focused his eyes and pondered for a moment, then an unknown fire surged out of his heart. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he felt a little itchy at the root of his teeth.
Blocking the two exits of the window and the door with dry firewood is obviously going to kill him!
When the fire starts burning, even if it doesn't burn him to death, the smoke alone can kill him alive!
To take a step back, even if he managed to escape after struggling for a while, he would definitely be exhausted and covered in injuries.
But then, don't forget, there are still two people guarding outside!
The two of them were holding swords, and they were obviously not good friends. In this case, if he had not practiced martial arts and was still the same Li Yu, how could he still be alive?
Li Yu rubbed the black tiger scabbard in his hand, his expression calm, but his eyes flashed coldly.
I have been busy burying corpses and practicing martial arts all day long, just thinking about living my small life without provoking anyone. Now someone actually wants to burn him alive!
How much hatred and resentment is this?!
Creak——
Li Yu walked slowly to the door, opened it suddenly, and jumped out in a flash.
"No, Dakui, hurry up"
The person guarding the door was startled when he saw Li Yu coming out. He stabbed Li Yu in the chest without hesitation with the sharp knife in his hand, and at the same time opened his mouth to warn.
Li Yu's reaction was faster, and the Black Tiger Sword was not even taken out of its sheath, but he hit the opponent's mouth directly.
Bang!
Before the man could finish speaking, his mouth was full of blood and several of his teeth were knocked out. He screamed in pain and fell down dizzy.
The warning sound alerted another person, who was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Li Yu snatched the knife from the man on the ground and swung it. The knife turned into a flash of cold light and flew out, piercing the thigh of the man in the distance.
"Ah - legs, my legs"
The man fell down and screamed, but Li Yu, who rushed over quickly, slapped his mouth full of blood with his backhand:
"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, I will cut your tongue!"
The man's gaze touched Li Yu's seemingly calm, but actually full of cold eyes. He trembled excitedly and closed his mouth obediently.
Li Yu was not polite and struck him on the neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious.
After a cup of tea, inside the Yi Zhuang, a dim yellow light emitted from the oil lamp, illuminating the dim and blurry room. Two people were tied tightly and huddled in the corner, with their heads hanging down.
To Li Yu, these two people looked familiar. They were clearly the two men who followed Steward Huang when he went to Wong Tai Sin Temple before.
"Could it be Butler Huang who wants my life?" The shadow of Butler Huang flashed in his mind, and Li Yu's heart moved slightly.
Li Yu found a bench and sat in front of someone, and made a big show of his face towards the person.
Snapped!
The sound is crisp and loud.
When the other party opened his eyes in a daze, Old God Li Yu said quietly: "Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to trouble me?"
This man was about thirty years old. He felt that his whole face was numb from the pain, his mouth was swollen, and even his nose was bleeding. But looking at the cold-gleaming cow-ear sharp knife in Li Yu's hand, he
Although he felt hatred in his heart, what was more, he was filled with fear. Hearing this, he stammered:
"Brother Li, my name is Qi Dashuan, and his name is Zheng Kui. They both live in Dahegou Village. Butler Huang asked us to kill you this time."
Because a few of his teeth were knocked out, his speech was still a bit leaky.
"Oh?" Li Yu played with the sharp knife in his hand, glanced at him, and asked casually: "What did Butler Huang say to you guys?"
Qi Dashuan stammered: "Butler Huang Huang didn't say anything. He just asked us brothers to kill you. He said it was just in case, to eradicate the roots."
“Eradicate the roots?”
Li Yu smiled and said, "Is this really weird? I didn't sleep with his wife, and I didn't dig his ancestral graves. Why would he kill me for no reason?"
Qi Dashuan said with a smile: "I really don't know about this."
Li Yu stared at him and said nothing.
However, Qi Dashuan's scalp was numb from being stared at. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that the sharp knife in Li Yu's hand was getting closer and closer. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he tried his best to squeeze out an ugly smile on his face.
After a pause, Li Yu asked again: "Besides you two, who else knows about this?"
"To be honest, Brother Li, only Butler Huang and the two of us know about this matter. We have done this kind of dirty work several times before, so we are quite familiar with it."
Qi Dashuan said, and begged again: "Brother Li, I also know some secrets about the Huang family. I still have three taels of silver at home, and I also have a distant cousin who is beautiful. As long as you let me go, I promise
."
He is not stupid either. He has said everything he needs to say. If he doesn't think of another way, Li Yu will have to kill someone and silence him!
Li Yu waved his hand and interrupted him: "There is no need to talk about other useless things. Tell me your so-called secret."
Qi Dashuan perked up and said quickly: "That's right. I once drank with the concierge in the backyard, Old Liu Tou. He drank too much and didn't keep his mouth shut. I heard him say one thing. He said that Mr. Huang's
There is a very strange house in the backyard of the mansion, and no one is allowed to get close to it. Even our master’s favorite second wife wanted to get closer once, and she was whipped.”
"Old Liu Tou fell into a trance one night. When he got up, he saw the house open and a weasel or an old weasel with a white beard and fur running out."
An idea flashed in Weasel Li Yu's mind, and he suddenly remembered what happened at Wong Tai Sin Temple a few days ago. Vaguely, a guess slowly took shape in his mind.
