Xia Mingzhong's reputation as "North Knife" spread far and wide, and almost everyone on the road didn't know about him.
Even if he has other plans in mind, if someone pays him to hire him, he will still choose the most suitable task to do.
It's just that I no longer accept life-threatening situations.
Jiang Xian said: "Strange, are you short of money? Why are you going out more and more recently?"
Xia Mingzhong said: "My mother asked me for money last time, and the amount she asked for was quite large. Seeing that she was anxious, I thought I would make more orders while I have nothing to do now."
Jiang Xian asked in confusion: "Auntie's daily expenses for food and clothing are the simplest. How could she need so much money for anything? What happened? If it's not enough, I'll bring some from home for you to use first.
With?"
Xia Mingzhong scratched his head and said: "I don't know, she didn't say anything and I didn't ask any more questions. But I guess it must be the relatives of her mother's family. I heard that my uncle's business lost some money. I guess my mother wanted to help.
Help your uncle."
Jiang Xian said: "Hey, you don't live a very prosperous life, so why do you put others first in everything?"
Xia Mingzhong said: "My mother is old, but she just wants to be a sister. I can't say anything to her anymore. Just let her do whatever she wants." He said with a casual look on his face: "Not to mention the past.
When I was young, I was learning swordsmanship outside and had no place to stay. I even lived at my uncle's house for a while. I must remember this kindness and it is reasonable to help."
Jiang Xian said: "Well, you are too tired during this period. You must pay attention to your body no matter what. How can we do business later if your body collapses? What do you think, Boss Xia?"
Xia Mingzhong agreed with a smile and said: "I'll have another order later tonight. Come back tomorrow morning and I'll almost have all the money."
The next day, it was already past breakfast when Xia Mingzhong came back, and Jiang Xian left two steamed buns for him. Seeing him wolfing them down, Jiang Xian took out a letter and handed it to him.
\_/c\_/o\_/m
"The letter was sent from your hometown. Your mother should have asked someone to help write it." Jiang Xian said, "I just received it too."
Xia Mingzhong put down the half-eaten steamed bun, opened the envelope, and frowned after reading the letter. He silently picked up the leftover steamed bun and continued to bite it full of thoughts.
Jiang Xian said: "What's wrong?"
Xia Mingzhong looked at Jiang Xian, pointed to the letter on the table, and said, "Take a look."
Jiang Xian opened the letter, read it carefully, and said solemnly: "It's okay if it's an emergency, but now I'm afraid it's not okay to fill up this bottomless pit."
Although Xia Mingzhong was silent on the outside, he was unhappy in his heart.
Jiang Xianchao comforted him and said, "We haven't been back much recently. How about I go home with you and have a look? If you have any questions, we can talk to you face to face."
Xia Mingzhong swallowed the last piece of steamed bun, raised his head, swallowed a few mouthfuls of tea, and said, "Go back and take a look today."
Jiang Xian didn't waste any time, went to Mr. Mo Yun to ask for half a day's leave, and immediately set off with Xia Mingzhong.
In a hurry, Xia Mingzhong and Jiang Xian stepped into the house. It wasn't until they reached the backyard that they saw Xia's mother carefully picking up eggs.
Xia Mingzhong looked at the chicken coop and saw that there were not many eggs in it. He said, "Why are there only so few chickens left at home? Didn't there be more than a dozen when I came back last time?"
Xia's mother said: "Uh... I brought some chickens to your uncle's house."
After saying that, the three of them entered the house, Xia's mother was busy boiling water and making tea. Xia Mingzhong took out a stack of banknotes from her arms, put it on the table, and said: "Mom, A Xian asked for leave today, so we just
Those who came back together can't stay too long, and they have to rush back before night." He looked at his mother's stooped body, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, and said: "I need help with my uncle's family affairs, but don't be too tired yourself.
"
"I will send the remaining money back in a few days."
Xia Mingzhong wasn't much of a chatterbox, so the two sat for a while before leaving. Before leaving, Jiang Xian looked back at Xia's mother and saw her carefully putting away the stack of banknotes on the table, wiping her tears, and changing them.
Send them out with a smile on your face.
When Jiang Xian returned to the academy, he was busy reviewing his homework. He had to stay up late to make up for all the missed homework. There were exams in the academy soon, and he didn't have much time to stay with Xia Mingzhong.
After Xia Mingzhong completed the task, he was alone. (The next page will be more exciting!)
I had nowhere to go, so I suddenly remembered that my uncle's home was on the outskirts of Beijing, not too far from the academy.
He changed his clothes, went to the street to buy some food, and decided to visit his uncle's family.
When I arrived at my uncle's house, I saw that my aunt was wearing gold and silver. Even the fabrics on her young cousin were worth a lot of money. Xia Mingzhong remembered that his mother had lived a simple life and was still worrying about his uncle's family even at an old age. Now he
Only when I came to see it with my own eyes did I know what happened.
His heart was full of anger, so he sat in the hall and waited for his uncle to come back.
The uncle didn't come back until midnight. When he saw Xia Mingzhong sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why is Mingzhong here? When did he come?"
Xia Mingzhong asked with a cold face: "Shouldn't I come?"
The uncle said: "How could it be?! You have almost never been to your uncle's house since you grew up. Of course, your uncle is looking forward to your coming. How can you say you shouldn't come?"
Xia Mingzhong continued to ask: "I wonder how my uncle's business is doing now? Is there anything I can help with?"
The uncle sat on the chair next to him, tilted his body slightly towards Xia Mingzhong, and said: "The business will be doing well, and it will be no problem to support the family, so you don't have to worry about uncle." He sighed again and said: "That's right.
Your mother, if you're okay, go home and see her more often, and spend more time with her, it's not easy for her to be alone at home."
Xia Mingzhong sneered and said, "You know she has a hard time, but you still have the nerve to ask her to raise so much money for you?"
The uncle looked confused and asked: "What do you want to raise money for?"
Xia Mingzhong asked: "Do you think I don't know?" He took out the letter, slapped it in front of his uncle, and said: "How can she, a peasant woman, get so much money to give you? It would be difficult if it was really because your business failed.
Life is just that, but what I came to see today is that your whole family is dressed in silk, gold and silver. How can you look like you are in the least bit difficult?!"
The uncle quickly read the letter and cried out: "Mingzhong, are you sure that what is said in this letter is what your mother meant? Have I ever asked your mother for money? No matter how much I am worse than a beast,
You won’t embarrass your own sister like this. How can these amounts be borrowed money? It’s clearly just extortion from the lion’s mouth, right?”
Xia Mingzhong's heart tightened, but he heard his uncle say: "You'd better go home and ask your mother if you encountered any local snakes who came to the house to do evil and extort money?"
My uncle was still chattering there, saying nothing more than "You run around outside all day long, how can your mother, a woman, stay at home alone?" and the like.
Xia Mingzhong didn't care to listen to what he said, and hurriedly got up to leave and rush home.
We drove faster and reached the village late at night.
The candles at home were still on. When Xia Mingzhong walked to the door, he heard the noise inside. He kicked open the door and saw a group of unknown people.
There were about seven or eight strong men with sinister faces and fierce expressions, and they were shouting something unknown.
He walked all the way to the backyard, only to see his mother kneeling submissively, watching the chickens he raised being arbitrarily captured, and even the eggs he had saved on weekdays were all taken out at this moment.
The leader of the thug inside was still cursing at Xia's mother. This time Xia Mingzhong heard it clearly. The thug was cursing: "You old man, if you don't come out with the money, I won't be able to save your son's life!"
Xia Mingzhong suddenly felt dizzy. He, Xia Mingzhong, the dignified Xuli "Beidao", everyone in the world would be frightened when they heard his name. Many tough and tough people, after meeting him, Xia Mingzhong, completely disappeared in this world.
world.
Over the years, he had been paid to do things for people, eradicated evil, and killed evil, but he never thought that one day he would see his mother being bullied by evil people until he was unable to resist.
He knew the leading villain, it was none other than the person he let go before.
The man who knocked down Jiang Xian and Shen Hui with his horse on the street, and later kidnapped Shen Hui in the back hill of the academy...
Update\./New~~
He probably knew where the money his mother asked for had gone these days.
Seeing Xia Mingzhong's sudden return, Xia's mother hurriedly ran to Xia Mingzhong and said hurriedly: "Go quickly, go Mingzhong quickly."
Xia Mingzhong's eyes turned red, and he asked his mother softly: "This is our home, why should we leave. (The next page is more exciting!)
?”
Xia's mother said helplessly: "Mingzhong, they said they knew you and Ah Xian, and that you were in the academy. They told me that you offended important people outside, so you had to come home..."
The gangster didn't seem to expect that Xia Mingzhong would come back suddenly. There was a trace of panic on his face. He turned to stare at the way out and was about to leave, but he didn't see that the Nullah Knife was already ready to move.
At this moment, Xia Mingzhong had forgotten everything. Before the villain could react, he only heard Xia Mingzhong say, "Your life must stay here today."
As Xia's mother screamed, the villain's head was neatly chopped off with a nullah knife.
Blood splashed all over Xia Mingzhong, and even his face was stained with blood.
This was the first time that he took a life in public.
In the past, when he took on missions, he always killed without leaving a trace and moved without leaving a trace.
Beidao kills people and never shows up.
"Tomorrow?!" Xia's mother called him tremblingly.
At this time, Xia Mingzhong did not realize the seriousness of the matter. He only insisted that if others dared to bully his mother, they would not be able to stay in this world.
He sent his mother to his uncle's house overnight and returned to the academy.
It was already early the next morning when we arrived at the back mountain of the academy. Jiang Xianchen came to the back mountain after reading, and Xia Mingzhong was washing himself in the spring water.
The originally clear and transparent spring water was now mixed with blood and shining with a dazzling light.
Xia Mingzhong looked calm and calm, and carefully washed his hands with water. The blood on his face had dried. He turned to look at Jiang Xian and said, "Are you finished class?"
Jiang Xian's fingers tightly grasped the book in his arms, and the paper in the book was scratched and wrinkled. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m His lips were pale and frightened.
Said: "Did you kill someone? Did you... kill someone again?"
Xia Mingzhong remained calm and said: "Yeah."
Jiang Xian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice changed, and said: "Didn't I agree... not to do this kind of thing again?"
Xia Mingzhong didn't say anything, and Jiang Xian sat slumped for a while. He had to go back to the academy because he had to rush to morning classes.
When we returned to the academy, there was already a lot of discussion. A classmate whispered to Jiang Xiandao: "The godson of Mr. Jia, a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, was killed last night. It's strange to say that he ran away without incident.
The farmer was hacked to death at his home."
Another classmate corrected him: "If you're not stabbing me to death, I'm going to kill you with one knife." He also made a gesture on his neck: "Click, the head and body were separated, and blood spattered three feet!"
"Hey, they say a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If you can't kill anyone, you have to kill this guy. Now Mr. Jia is probably using all means to catch this absconding murderer!"
When Jiang Xian heard this, his face turned pale. He turned around and ran to the back mountain. When he saw Xia Mingzhong, he pulled up his sleeves and said: "The one who got into trouble and died was the godson of Mr. Jia, a wealthy businessman in the capital. Now Mr. Jia
We have used all our connections to arrest you. You can’t stay in the capital anymore, so hide away!”
