As soon as Xu Ting finished her words, someone outside spoke to her: "God is good at life, so naturally he doesn't want you to die. Your parents are alive in heaven, and they don't want to see you go down a dead end."
Xu Ting was startled. She reached out to draw the sword on her back out of habit, but failed. There was another faint smile outside the window:
"Your sword is with me."
Xu Ting then recognized the voice of a young man and walked up to open the door.
The people outside then walked in with their hands behind their backs. It was the young man who returned her sword a few days ago. He was holding his chest and back straight, his energy was as solid as a mountain, and he was holding a sword in his hand, which was Xu Ting's "Autumn Water Sword".
.
Seeing her astonishment, the young man smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't charge you any money this time. I agreed to buy one and get one free."
With that said, he put the sword on the table.
Xu Ting said in a trembling voice: "Who...are you?"
The young man said: "It's not like you haven't seen him before. Of course he is a little beggar. My name is Feng Zhou. I beg for food on the street with my bald brother. I do some good things to help people in need, such as helping the old lady cross the street.
, brought the lost child home, and retrieved the sword of the girl who had lost it. They are known as the 'generous and heroic duo' on the street, do you understand now?"
Xu Ting asked him: "How did you get this sword?"
Feng Zhou said: "Haha, it's a long story. My bald brother did a good thing today. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He ran out and went crazy. He didn't come home in the middle of the night. He has a lot of strength. I'm afraid he wanted to give Master Yu Qian
To take revenge, I went to Wuqinghou Mansion to cause trouble, so I went there to look for him. I saw a few officers and soldiers at the front door, so I wondered if it was my brother who hung it on the wall with a small rope and climbed over to play. If so, under the wall over there
What should I do if there is a deep pit? At this moment, something was thrown out of the wall, and it turned out to be this sword. Do you think it was a coincidence?"
After saying a few words, Xu Ting's face turned red and white.
She knew in her heart that this handsome young man had been present from the time she entered the Marquis Mansion to the time she escaped, and he also saved her. This young man was not only a strange person, but also had a chivalrous heart and noble conduct. He was truly a gentleman in the world.
So he jumped on the trap but didn't fall into it. When he escaped from the Hou Mansion, he was thrown out by a pair of invisible hands. It seemed that he was the one who helped. In addition, the stone lion jumped up to catch people in the middle of the night. All the things that happened to this young man when he was selling his sword.
It was weird, and when it was connected with what happened tonight, Xu Ting understood it no matter how stupid she was.
Feng Zhou's face was indifferent, but Xu Ting was full of gratitude. She wanted to say it, but she didn't know how to say it. Judging from his behavior in the past two days, it was clear that he was helping me, but he refused to say it clearly.
Real people don't show their faces. Since he is unwilling to tell this, I can't force him to admit it... Thinking of this, even though Xu Ting was full of tenderness and extremely grateful, it was difficult to express it.
Feng Zhou pointed at her hand: "You seem to have a bruise there. I have medicine for treating trauma here. It's very expensive. Just apply it and it'll be ready immediately. If someone else wants to use it, it costs ten taels of silver a time, so you don't have to pay."
Firstly, the bald man and I live in your house, and the rent has not been paid. Secondly, I only charged two cents each time for delivering the sword, and twice four cents. You gave too much yesterday, and there is still some left..."
He was doing calculations in his mouth, and with a flick of his right hand, he took out a basket from nowhere. He took out a small basket and placed it on the desk. He reached out and took out a small paper bag. Watch him open the paper bag.
Xu Ting stretched out the back of her hand, let Feng Zhou apply the medicinal powder, pressed the paper on it, and rubbed it gently.
When Feng Zhou took off the paper, not only was the wound completely gone, but the redness and swelling were all gone. When he moved, he could bend and stretch freely, as if his hand had never been injured.
Xu Ting couldn't bear it anymore. The tenderness of a girl deep in her heart surged out as she was surrounded by extreme gratitude. It turned into tears and flowed out like a fountain.
Feng Zhou saw her crying, shook his head helplessly, sat in front of her and said: "Tonight, the girl is really too reckless, not to mention that Wu Xi will not let you go, and even if Wu Xi is killed, what do you think?
Will your Majesty, your Majesty, rest in peace under the Nine Springs?"
Xu Ting was stunned and looked at Feng Zhou with her beautiful eyes, asking: "Isn't Wu Xi the murderer of my parents?"
Feng Zhou sighed in his heart and told her that Shi Heng was the murderer behind the scenes.
Because this girl's worldliness is really shallow, and she has zero experience in the world, she probably feels the same as most people, thinking that it was Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei, and that Zhao Gou was just a fool.
So in her mind, Wu Xi was the murderer of her whole family, while Wu Qinghou Shi Heng knew nothing.
As long as Xu Ting kills Wu Xi, she can avenge her parents.
Since she is so simple, why bother telling her these things? Even if she does, she may not understand.
Thinking of this, Feng Zhou smiled and said: "Wu Xi is naturally a murderer, but what your parents hope is that you will not be blinded by hatred, live a good life, and live a long life, be safe and happy. This is what all parents in the world hope for.
expectations.”
After Xu Ting heard him say "live a good life", her heart moved. She couldn't help but glance at Feng Zhou, and her heart felt like a deer.
But he suppressed it immediately.
After all, revenge is most important right now.
She thought about it again, and the young man in front of her directly said that she was reckless. He obviously treated her like a family member, and she couldn't help but feel closer to Feng Zhou.
Now that he felt at ease, he asked, "You said you are living in my house now, is that true?"
Feng Zhou nodded and said, "Of course it's true."
He started from the death of his parents to the incident of moving into the Xu family's house last night. He briefly talked about it. Naturally, he omitted Dingxing County's dealings with the White Lotus Sect. As for how he could acquire such magical powers, Xu Ting
He knew the rules of the world and didn't ask too many questions.
Xu Ting also told Feng Zhou about her own experience. It was nothing more than that she was valued by the master of the Xiandu sect at her grandmother's house. He took her to the mountains to practice martial arts, gave her careful guidance, and came down to Beijing after she became a master of martial arts.
Feng Zhou couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
Even though the Ming Dynasty was prosperous and powerful in the world, from the court to the people, good people still suffered and bad people were rampant.
Feng Zhou originally wanted to find a breakthrough. Before he entered the officialdom, he took care of Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others, so that he would not have to use official methods to act after entering the officialdom.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, Xu Ting appeared in front of me. She came to Beijing with deep hatred and hatred. She happened to be a reckless and ignorant little girl, who could be used as a sharp arrow to stir up the storm...
…
But the bald man woke up and looked out the window. It was already bright. He slowly got up, went to the yard, stretched out, and felt very comfortable.
Last night, Feng Zhou said he was going out at night and refused to take him with him. He was a little angry. But when Feng Zhou left in the middle of the night, he still held Feng Zhou's arm and said, "Good brother, just take me there!"
"
Feng Zhou said: "It's dangerous tonight, it's better for you to stay at home..." Seeing the bald man curl his lips, Feng Zhou continued: "As long as you sleep well, I will come back tomorrow and teach you a trick or two, so that you can deal with bad guys easily in the future.
.”
After hearing this, the bald man nodded happily, stopped pulling Feng Zhou, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
It was just the first time he slept alone, and he was alone in a house. The wind was roaring outside, so he was frightened and trembled all over, for fear that a ghost might come out.
In the end, he finally fell asleep. After he woke up and moved around a little, he felt a little hungry. He touched the ingot of silver in his waist. Thinking of the delicious food in the morning market, he walked out of the door excitedly.
