Chapter 430 There is another bowl of rice on the table
The dark green python robe was made from the skin of a little loach after it ascended to the Nascent Soul. It was a robe that Zhenjun Jiejiang spent a lot of money and hired experts to secretly create.
Gu Can no longer held up her sleeves with her hands, and was no longer the devil in the world who made countless letters Hu Yexiu feel inscrutable. She opened her hands and jumped on the spot, "Chen Pingan, you are so tall, I still
I think after we meet, I will be as tall as you!"
But the middle-aged man never spoke.
Everyone in Chishui City who was watching the excitement on the street did not dare to breathe. Even Lu Caisang, who was as unruly as Gu Can, felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
Chen Pingan said: "I want to see my aunt, is that okay?"
Gu Can said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with this? My mother often talks about you. Chen Ping'an, why are you so outspoken?"
Chen Ping'an said: "I'll wait for you at the ferry. You and your friends should finish eating crabs first, and then take me to Qingxia Island."
Gu Can chuckled and said: "Don't care what they do, just let it dry. Let's go, let's go, I will take you to Qingxia Island. Now my mother and I have a big house to live in, which is much richer than Mu Ping Lane."
Well, not to mention a carriage, even a small loach can come in and out. You said how big the road is and what a magnificent house it is, right?"
Chen Pingan asked: "Don't let anyone say hello to Fan Yan, Yuan Yuan and the others?"
Gu Can shook his head and said, "No need, these fair-weather friends are nothing."
Chen Pingan stopped talking and just glanced at it behind Gu Can, the "little loach" that he had caught in the fields.
Now it has appeared in human form, and it looks like an ordinary young woman. However, after taking a closer look, its pair of golden eyes with erect pupils can let the monks detect clues.
When Chen Ping'an glanced at it, it was one of the five true dragon descendants of Lizhu Cave that even Liu Zhimao didn't pay attention to in Shujian Lake. This time it didn't take a step back like it did when they first saw it, but its eyes were still lowered.
It seemed that he did not dare to look at Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the ferry.
Gu Can quickly followed, glanced at Chen Ping'an's back, thought for a moment, and asked Lu Caisang to go talk to Fan Yan and his gang, and then asked Xiao Niyi to bring the woman who was the Golden Elixir Earthly Immortal Assassin.
Lu Caisang hesitated to speak. Gu Can's eyes were cold. Lu Caisang snorted coldly and left the place.
Gu Can then swaggered after Chen Ping'an. He was very happy. The sleeves of his two python robes were fluttering, and the cold wind was blowing.
If she hadn't met Chen Ping'an, the woman would have died today, and it would not be a joke to kill the Nine Clans. They would definitely be reunited together in the underworld.
When Gu Can saw Chen Pingan passing the carriage, he still didn't stop. Gu Can shouted: "Chen Pingan, don't you want to take the carriage?"
Chen Ping'an did not stop or turn around, "I have my own feet, and I can keep up with the carriage."
Gu Can asked Little Loach to take the assassin to a carriage, and he followed Chen Ping'an to the Qingxia Island ship at the ferry.
Along the way, Gu Can neither asked Chen Pingan why he slapped her twice, nor told him about his power in Shujian Lake. He just chatted with Chen Pingan about interesting things about Longquan County that he had heard from hearsay.
But as he got closer to Shujian Lake, Gu Can became more and more disappointed.
Because just like he ignored his gang of friends, Chen Pingan didn't say a word to him from beginning to end during the journey. But what surprised Gu Can the most about Chen Pingan was that he didn't seem to be filled with raging anger.
That kind of state, but absent-minded. To be precise, Chen Ping'an's mind was immersed in his own affairs, which made Gu Can relax a little.
What Gu Can was most afraid of was that Chen Ping'an didn't say a word, met him, slapped him twice, and then left without saying a word.
We will never see each other again in this life, and if we meet again by chance in the future, we will be just strangers.
When boarding the ship, Little Loach followed behind with the Jindan woman. Gu Can asked cautiously: "Chen Ping'an, or should I let the assassin go? I'm in a good mood today, so it doesn't matter if I let her go."
"
Chen Pingan paused slightly, but still did not stop and continued moving forward.
Gu Can clearly noticed Chen Pingan's anger and...disappointment at that moment.
It's just that Gu Can doesn't understand why he said and did this... But on Chen Pingan's side, it was wrong again.
So Gu Can turned his head, put his hands in his sleeves, kept walking, twisted his neck, and looked at the woman coldly.
It was all because of this stubborn mother-in-law who came forward to assassinate him today that he made Chen Ping'an angry. He really deserved death, even if he punished the nine tribes!
Arriving at the bow of the ship, Chen Ping'an stood still and looked at the distant lake scenery alone.
Gu Can felt aggrieved and resentful and wanted to get closer to Chen Pingan, so she had no choice but to stand a few steps behind him. She actually lost the confidence to stand side by side with Chen Pingan.
At this moment, the assassin woman, who finally felt like she had a glimmer of hope, knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Pingan, "Please let me go. I know you are a good person and a compassionate living Bodhisattva."
, please tell Gu Can, let me go this time, as long as you don’t kill me, I will build an archway and a temple for your great benefactor in the future, and offer incense and kowtow to your benefactor every day, even if the benefactor asks me to treat you as Gu Can.
You can be a cow or a horse..."
The little loach moved its fingers slightly.
Gu Can smiled instead, turned around, shook his head at the little loach, and let the assassin kowtow to beg for mercy, while the ship's plank banged.
Chen Pingan tremblingly took off the sword gourd and took a big sip of wine. Then he turned around, but instead of looking at the woman who called him a good person and a living Bodhisattva, he looked at Gu Can and asked: "Why not just kill
Got her?"
Gu Can said with a serious face: "Just killing her won't work. There are too many people in Shujian Lake who like to seek death. Chen Pingan, you may not know that in our lawless Shujian Lake, I will only kill whoever kills me. Then
But he is really a bodhisattva with a huge heart. He will give tens of thousands of wild cultivators in the mountains and swamps, as well as the lakeside cities that are dependent on the various island owners, and make them look down upon and laugh at them."
Gu Can was probably afraid that Chen Pingan wouldn't believe him, so he turned around and asked the little loach, "Is that so? I didn't lie to Chen Pingan, did I?"
The most lawless little loach in Shujian Lake nodded timidly.
The woman could become a golden elixir, and dare to assassinate Gu Can. Of course she was not stupid. She chewed out the implication of the life-saving straw in an instant. Can she be killed? She felt like she fell into an ice cave.
, when he lowered his head, his eyes wandered uncertainly.
Chen Pingan looked at her and asked: "If I could guarantee that I would kill you and everyone related to you would survive, what would you do?"
The woman raised her head with tears in her eyes, "I know you are a good person, why can't you let me go too? I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have assassinated Gu Can. I promise to take the initiative to detour when I see Gu Can in the future. Please
Save me, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, please!"
Chen Pingan said slowly: "If you succeed in the assassination today, and Gu Can kneels on the ground and begs you to let him and his mother go, will you agree? Just answer me sincerely."
The woman wiped away her tears and said: "Even if I am willing to let Gu Can go, the sword cultivator from the Zhu Ying Dynasty will definitely kill someone, but as long as Gu Can begs me, I will definitely let Gu Can's mother go, and I will come forward to protect her.
Good to that innocent woman, I will not let her be bullied."
Gu Can smiled brightly.
Of course he knew that this woman was talking nonsense to survive. She couldn't say such lies. Gu Can was not surprised at all, but what did it matter? As long as Chen Ping'an was willing to nod his head and not be angry with himself,
It's no big deal if you let one or two of these ants go. Not to mention the life of her golden elixir earth immortal, it doesn't matter even to her nine clans. These original intentions, promises and cultivation are all worthless.
Gu Can didn't care about the ants at all, just like this time he deliberately took a detour to the banquet place, wasn't it just for fun? To tease these guys who mistakenly thought they had a chance to win?
Chen Pingan said slowly to Gu Can: "I don't think it's wrong if you kill her on the street. It's okay to kill her here. You can kill her again when you get to Qingxia Island."
Gu Can was stunned for a moment.
Chen Pingan asked: "What did you call her when she was on the street?"
Gu Can thought for a moment, "Auntie."
Chen Pingan asked: "Why should I call you mother?"
Gu Can said dullly: "She's also an aunt."
Chen Pingan murmured: "A family must be neat and tidy, and a family must be reunited."
Gu Can's eyes suddenly turned red and he lowered his head, "Then what do you want me to do? Kill her or let her go. So that you won't be angry or get angry and stop ignoring me like this. Chen Ping'an, tell me, I
Do it.”
Chen Pingan turned around and said, "It's up to you. I went to Qingxia Island to see my aunt, and I may leave after I finish talking."
Chen Pingan stopped talking.
Gu Can gritted his teeth, his eyes were moist, and he clenched his fists.
Gu Can and Xiao Ni Loach had the same mind. Without Gu Can's words, Xiao Ni Loach took the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal like a chicken and took him to a secret room in the cabin and imprisoned him.
Chen Ping'an always stood at the bow of the boat.
During Gu Can's visit, she went to the top floor of the building. She was so upset that she threw all the cups on the table. The ladies were trembling with fear. They didn't know why the little master, who was smiling all day long, was so irritable today.
Little Loach stood aside, also feeling a little aggrieved and depressed.
Gu Can raised his head, stared at the little loach, laughed, and said triumphantly: "Little loach, don't be afraid, Chen Ping'an is just angry with me. He always did this when he was a child. After making him unhappy, no matter how I followed him
He says nice things from behind, but doesn't like to take any notice of him.
I am exactly the same as today. But every time I see my mother or me being bullied by neighbors and small town villains, she will still help us. After that, I will cry and make trouble again, Chen Pingan
I'm sure I won't be angry anymore. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have those two sniffles anymore. That's my biggest magic weapon, you know? Every time Chen Ping'an helped me and my mother, whenever he saw me sniffling, he would
He would lose his composure and start laughing, and every time after that, he would never be angry with me again."
The little loach nodded.
Gu Can and the cat himself realized why it took a step back when it was on the street.
It's really scary.
It is a kind of awe and fear that touches on its fundamental principles.
Perhaps even Chen Ping'an himself, the entire Lizhu Cave, and now Gu Can's master, Jiejiang True Lord Liu Zhimao, don't know the reason.
Because this little loach is very different from the golden carp that Li Er put in the Dragon King's basket, and the five-legged snake in Song Jixin's yard. Being able to successfully capture the little loach is such a huge undertaking.
Opportunity is Chen Pingan's own opportunity! It was the only opportunity that Chen Pingan seized by himself in Lizhu Cave, and he had the opportunity to hold it firmly in the palm of his hand! But Chen Pingan relied on his true heart to give it to him.
Gu Can, who licked his face and begged Chen Ping'an for the loach due to the resonance of his heart, was giving away the opportunity himself and turned it into Gu Can's own great opportunity.
But this does not hinder the little loach, Chen Pingan is still half of its master!
Although Chen Pingan is definitely unable to control the little loach that is already in the Nascent Soul realm, the little loach would only dare to take action against Chen Pingan unless his current owner Gu Can gave him a death order.
Gu Can suddenly lay down on the table, "Little loach, apart from my mother, only Chen Ping'an is really willing to give me all his best things. When I was not a kiln worker, I became a kiln worker."
After that, Chen Pingan was like this. As long as he had a little money on hand, he would not be willing to buy it himself. As long as I was greedy, he would not frown and even lied to me that he had made a lot of money. I later heard from Liu Xianyang
I only found out after I let it slip. Little loach, tell me, why is Chen Pingan angry?"
The little loach shook his head.
Gu Can turned around, leaning his head on the table, holding his hands in his sleeves, "Then how long will it take for Chen Ping'an to be angry this time? Well, I don't dare to tell him about these cardigan girls now, what should I do?"
Gu Can shed tears, "I know that Chen Ping'an is different this time. In the past, others bullied me and my mother, so when he saw it, he would feel sorry for me. So no matter how ignorant or angry I am, he will not
He doesn’t recognize me as his younger brother, but it’s different now. My mother and I are already living a very good life. He, Chen Pingan, will feel that we can live a good life even without him, Chen Pingan, so he will continue to be angry.
, he will never pay attention to me again in this life. But I want to tell him, this is not the case. Without Chen Pingan, I will be very sad. I will be sad for the rest of my life. If Chen Pingan doesn't care about me, I won't stop him.
Looking at him, I just told him, if you dare to leave me alone, I will become a bigger villain, I will do more bad things, and you will be able to do it.
You can hear Gu Can’s name in Yezhou and the Divine Continent of China!”
Gu Can stretched out his hands and covered his face.
This was the second time that Gu Can showed such a weak side after arriving at Shujian Lake. The first time was when he spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with his mother on Qingxia Island, and they also talked about Chen Ping'an.
The little loach was emotionally involved with Gu Can, and all the joys and sorrows followed, and it also shed tears.
————
The building boat finally arrived at Qingxia Island.
When getting off the boat, Chen Pingan took out a jade token and handed it to the little loach. Chen Pingan said in a deep voice: "Give it to Liu Zhimao and tell him to keep it first and return it to me when I leave Qingxia Island."
I'll tell him one more thing, don't let me see him when I'm on Qingxia Island."
When it took over, it was like a child grabbing a handful of red-hot coals. Suddenly, a scream resounded through the sky, and it almost transformed into the true form of a dragon hundreds of feet long. It wished it could smash the Qingxia Island Ferry to pieces with one claw.
Just when it was about to throw it away, Chen Pingan said expressionlessly: "Take it!"
The little loach was filled with fear, and despite the severe pain, she still clung tightly to the strange jade plaque with the words "I am good at cultivating Haoran Qi" and went to look for the True Lord Jiejiang.
There were already people waiting at the ferry, all of them groveling and flattering Gu Can.
Chen Ping'an said to Gu Can: "Please tell auntie, I want to have another home-cooked meal, as long as there is a bowl of rice on the table."
Gu Can nodded vigorously, as long as Chen Ping'an was willing to sit down and eat, he asked an old monk's housekeeper from Qingxia Island to go to the house to inform his mother that instead of big fish and meat, just prepare a table of ordinary home-cooked meals!
Gu Can led the way, while Chen Pingan walked aside, walking slowly.
Gu Can thought that Chen Ping'an wanted to have a meal when he got to the house. He wanted to hang out for a while, so he deliberately slowed down.
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "I have been in Chishui City these days, asking you and Qingxia Island about things. I asked many people and listened to many things."
Gu Can lowered his head and said, "I guessed it."
Chen Ping'an added: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to say it out loud at the dinner table, so I don't dare to say it. So before I meet aunt, I may say more words that you don't like to hear. I hope you like it or not."
, no matter whether you think it is nonsense or not, just listen to me first, okay? After I finish speaking, you can then speak your mind. I also hope not to be like that assassin, don’t worry about whether I like it or not.
Listen, I just want to hear what’s in your heart, just say what you think.”
Gu Can hummed, "You talk, I'll listen."
Chen Pingan said slowly: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Gu Can suddenly stopped.
Chen Ping'an also stopped. In the eyes of all the curious monks on Qingxia Island, he was a "middle-aged man" with a depressed look. His face could not be revealed, but his eyes revealed a person's heart. That kind of fatigue, helpless
cover up.
Back then, the straw-shoe boy and the little slug child were so anxious to say goodbye in Mud Bottle Alley. Apart from Gu Can's big bag of locust leaves, besides being careful about Liu Zhimao, there were still such older children who had to take care of themselves.
Apart from his mother, Chen Ping'an didn't have time to say many things.
Chen Pingan raised his head and looked at the top of Qingxia Island, "After that little slug left my hometown, I left soon and started walking around the world. There were bumps and bumps like this, so I was very afraid of one thing.
I'm afraid that the little slug will turn into you, and I, Chen Ping'an, was the kind of person we disliked the most back then. He was a big man who liked to bully women who had no men in the family. Those who were stronger would bully that woman.
My son drank wine and kicked a child who was passing by, causing the child to roll all over the floor. So every time I think of Gu Can, the first thing I do is worry about the little slug in a strange place.
, whether you are living well or not, the second thing is to worry about whether the little slug that holds the most grudge will gradually become stronger and more capable, and then you will be in a bad mood.
The kind of person who kicks a child and doesn't care whether the child lives or dies, whether the child will die of pain, or whether it will be saved by Chen Ping'an. After returning home, the child's mother was distressed and had to go to Yang's shop to spend money.
I have to pay a lot of copper coins to get the medicine, and my livelihood will be even more difficult for the next ten days and a half. I am very afraid of this."
"But I can't blame others. I blame me. After I returned to the small town from Sui Dynasty for the first time, I walked around for the second time. I obviously wanted to go south to Laolong City. Why didn't I rather give swords to people more slowly? Why didn't I
I'm willing to take a detour and just delay it for a few months. I also want to see that little slug and see with my own eyes whether he and his mother are doing well, instead of knowing through some news that their lives are safe and they seem to be fooling around.
It’s pretty good, so I thought I’d go there later. When I can survive and give that little slug more things, it won’t be too late to go see him.”
"Walking around the world, taking responsibility for life and death, you killed Qingxia Island to worship, killed your senior brother, and killed today's assassin. As long as I, Chen Ping'an, am present, if you don't kill or can't kill, I will help you kill! No matter how many people like this come,
, I will kill them all. I will kill every one that comes. If there are ten thousand, if I can only kill nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, I will only blame Chen Ping'an, whose fists are not strong enough and my sword is not fast enough! Because I promised
You, promised me, protecting that little slug is the most natural thing for me, Chen Pingan, and there is no need to reason, there is no need at all!"
"But you, Gu Can, have a thousand and ten thousand reasons to tell yourself, tell me Chen Ping'an, saying that Shujian Lake is such a dirty place, and the world is like a bird. If I don't kill people to establish my authority, others will
Come and kill me. These are not the reasons for you, Gu Can, to kill innocent people indiscriminately. There are so many people who died inexplicably, and people who don’t even know the reasons. After killing them, you, Gu Can, can live with your heart. I, Chen Pingan,
I can't get through. I would think, there are so many people, dozens, hundreds, just dozens, hundreds of little slugs that followed Chen Ping'an, a mud-legged guy in Mud Bottle Alley, just a few dozen.
Hundreds of clay-legged kiln workers. Then so many people died. Chen Pingan, who was about to starve to death in Mud Bottle Alley and was unwilling to knock on the door, walked through Mud Bottle Alley over and over again and did not die.
That little slug that was kicked by a drunken bastard is still alive."
Chen Pingan stopped talking and patted Gu Can beside him on the shoulder, "Let's go, Auntie is still waiting for us. No matter how difficult the road is, we have to go."
The two walked side by side.
Chen Pingan said slowly: "I, Chen Pingan, don't want to be a moral saint, but if we don't become that kind of moral saint, it doesn't mean that we can't be reasonable at all."
"I don't care if others are unreasonable or unreasonable. I want to take care of you, Gu Can. I will try to see if it is useful. After my parents died, I lost all my relatives, Liu Xianyang, and you Gu Can.
, you two are my relatives. The world is so big, a small town
Over there, I only have two relatives, you and Liu Xianyang. If the sky falls anywhere else, I can ignore it. But even if the sky does fall, as long as it hits you, I, Chen Pingan, no matter how powerful I am, will do it.
Go and try to carry back the fallen sky! Even if you can't carry it back or pick it up, then I, Chen Ping'an, will help you get justice even if I die!"
Back then, I was in Lizhu Cave.
For the sake of Liu Xianyang, Chen Ping'an tried, even if he wanted to die, he wanted to get justice for Liu Xianyang.
Now in Shujian Lake, Chen Pingan felt that just saying these words had exhausted all his energy.
A different experience.
Chen Ping'an just sat there alone, like a dog on the side of the road.
"If I didn't know you Gu Can and you broke the news in Shujian Lake, I just heard about it and wouldn't care about it. I wouldn't come to Chishuicheng or Qingxia Island because I, Chen Pingan, can't take care of it.
Chen Ping'an's ability is so great. I didn't take care of the wedding ghost's mansion. I saw those sword cultivators in a county in Huang Tingguo, but I didn't take care of it. I took care of it in Jiaolonggou. I lost Mr. Qi's gift to him.
My Shan Zi Seal. In Old Dragon City, I took care of it. I pierced the abdomen of a monk. In this world, if you are reasonable, you have to pay a price. But it is the same if you are unreasonable! The one in Jiaolong Valley
The old Jiao was almost leveled by the sword cultivator, and Du Mao beat him half to death! They are like this, just like you Gu Can, live well today, tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Next year and the year after tomorrow?! You can make other people's families stay together today?
Yuanyuan, tomorrow others can ask your mother to accompany you and have a happy reunion down there!"
"If I could, I just want to know that there is a little slug named Gu Can living at the end of Mud Bottle Alley. I don't want to give you that little loach at all. I just want you to live over there in Mud Bottle Alley.
, as long as I return to my hometown, I will be able to see you and your aunt. Whether your family is a little rich or I, Chen Pingan, am rich, you two can afford good-looking clothes and delicious food.
, just live a peaceful life like this."
Approaching the brightly lit mansion, it was as good as a prince's house.
Chen Ping'an's eyes darkened and he said softly: "I've already finished speaking, and I don't have the energy to say anything else, so when we get to the dinner table, you say what you want to say, and I will listen."
Gu Can raised his arm and wiped his face without making a sound.
The mansion is very big. After passing the gate, it takes a long time just to walk to the dining area.
When Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold, he took off the face that Zhu Lian had carefully crafted and revealed his true face.
A woman in luxurious clothes stood at the door of the lobby, looking forward to it. When she saw Chen Pingan next to Gu Can, her eyes suddenly turned red. She quickly walked down the steps and came to Chen Pingan. She carefully looked at her figure.
Chen Ping'an, who had grown much taller, had mixed feelings for a while. He covered his mouth and said a thousand words, but he couldn't say a single word. In fact, deep down in the woman's heart, she felt extremely guilty. When Liu Zhimao came to visit, he said something about the little loach.
After the incident, she became vicious. As long as she could save the opportunity for Can'er, she hoped that the neighbor boy in Mud Bottle Alley who had helped her and her son for many years.
Death counts.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Auntie."
The woman choked up and said: "Okay, okay, my family is living as well as Can'er, so this is better than anything else." She quickly entered the house. The steward on the island spoke in a hurry, so Auntie had to cook two dishes.
, the rest are all helped by the people in the house, but they are all cooked according to the taste of our hometown, it must be an authentic home-cooked dish, Chen Ping'an, you won't be used to it."
Chen Pingan said: "I'm sorry, auntie."
The woman glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Pingan stopped talking.
The mother and son, as well as a person whom neither mother and son would regard as an outsider, entered the house together and sat down.
Although it was a home-cooked meal, it was still extremely rich and filled a large table.
The woman also prepared the rarest Xianjia Wutiao wine in Shujian Lake, which is different from the so-called Wutiao wine and Yunni sold in the wells in the city.
The woman filled Chen Pingan's glass of wine, but Chen Pingan could not stop her no matter how hard she tried to dissuade her.
In fact, Gu Can, who doesn't like to drink, especially Gu Can who never drinks at home, also asked her mother for a glass of wine today.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and poured a glass.
There was a large round table, with the woman sitting at the head seat, Chen Pingan sitting with his back to the door, and Gu Can sitting on the seat between them.
Gu Can turned to her mother and said, "Before eating, I want to say something to Chen Pingan."
The woman was a woman who was good at observing words and expressions. She had already noticed that something was wrong, but her smile remained unchanged, "Okay, you guys chat, and after you finish drinking, I will pour the wine for you."
Gu Can drank the wine in one gulp, stretched out his hand to cover the glass, indicating that he would not drink anymore, turned to Chen Pingan and said: "Chen Pingan, how do you think I, Gu Can, can protect my mother? Knowing that my mother and I are here
Qingxia Island, how many times did one of them almost die?"
The woman's heart trembled, her expression was stiff, she sat in her seat, with her hands under the table, twisting the corners of her clothes hard.
Gu Can continued: "Only kill those people who tried to harm me? Where is the person behind the killer assassin? Where are the sneaky bad guys hiding further away?"
"Shall I go over to them one by one and say hello to them first? Tell them that I, Gu Can, am very powerful, and the little loach is even more powerful, so don't come to provoke me, or I will beat you to death?"
"Do you think those assassinations on Qingxia Island were all done by outsiders? The enemy is looking for death?"
"Do you think it's impossible that Liu Zhimao, my good master, arranged it? Hidden among those murders?"
"You, Chen Pingan, might say that there may not be one. Yes, it is indeed the case. I will not lie to you, saying that Liu Zhimao must be involved! But I only have one mother, and I, Gu Can, have only one
My life is on my side, why should I bet on that 'maybe'?"
Gu Can stood up and said angrily: "Chen Pingan! You are going to beat me to death today, and I will never fight back. But before I am beaten to death by you, I have to tell you that I, Gu Can, did nothing wrong! Even if I am wrong
, I don’t admit it either! I won’t change it either! I won’t change it in this life! I won’t change it even after I die!”
Gu Can's face was ferocious, but it wasn't the resentment he used to have against the person he looked at. Instead, he was the kind of person who hated himself, hated the entire Shujian Lake, hated everyone, and felt extremely wronged by not being understood by the person he cared about most.
"In this place, I am seeking skin from tigers. If I don't peel off their skins and wear them on myself, I will freeze to death. If I don't drink their blood and eat their meat, my mother and I will die of hunger and thirst! Chen
Ping An, let me tell you, this is not our Mud Bottle Lane. It won’t be just those disgusting adults who come to steal my mother’s clothes. The people here will eat my mother until she has no bones left.
She is worse off than dead! I won't just meet a drunk bastard in an alley, and he just doesn't like me and kicks me in the alley!"
"Do you know how scared I am here?"
"Do you know how much I hope you can be by my side and protect me like you did before? Protect my mother?"
"Chen Pingan, you don't know!"
"You can only hit me and scold me!"
In the end, Gu Can's face was full of tears and she sobbed: "I don't want you, Chen Pingan, to come to Shujian Lake to visit our graves next time you see me and my mother! I still want to see you, Chen Pingan..."
Gu Can whimpered and walked out of the house, but did not go far. He sat down on the threshold.
Chen Pingan sat where he was, raised his head, and said hoarsely to the woman: "Auntie, I won't drink anymore. Can you serve me a bowl of rice?"
The frightened woman quickly wiped her tears, nodded, and got up to bring Chen Pingan a bowl of rice. Chen Pingan stood up, took the bowl of rice, put it gently on the table, and then sat down.
There is another bowl of rice on the table.
Back then, at someone else's house in Mud Bottle Alley, Chen Ping'an was still a younger child than Gu Can is now, and he also had a bowl of rice on the table.
Chen Pingan raised one hand, trembling a little. In the end, he did not pick up the chopsticks, but took out a book from his arms and placed it next to the bowl of rice.
A book is an old and yellowed boxing manual.
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and smoothed it gently.
It accompanied him through thousands of mountains and rivers, saw all the wonders of the world, and witnessed all Chen Pingan's joys and sorrows.
I have read through it so many times and it is still neat and tidy with almost no wrinkles.
