Chapter 64 [Flying Knife in Dawn]
Fan Zhou asked again: "Brother Fang, are you going to tell him this in the future?"
Hearing this question, Fang Taihe didn't hesitate, he nodded and said: "Well, when I am old and dying, I will tell this child everything."
Fan Zhou was not surprised by this.
Although what Brother Fang has done these years is not good, and it is not upright at all, but the other party's actions can be regarded as "upright" from the beginning to the end.
Fan Zhou responded and then asked: "Oh, what's the child's name?"
Leaning back, he breathed a sigh of relief, Fang Tai patted the swaddle in his hand, and smiled softly:
"His original name was not clear, and even his surname was unknown, so I had to use Fang's surname to name him Fang Chang. I hope he can live a longer, longer life and grow old safely. Don't be like these people in Jianghu..."
The two fell into silence again.
They were silent and swept away the food on the table. Fan Zhou shouted to the waiter who was cleaning the table not far away:
"Second brother!"
"Come on~!"
"Check out, and give me ten more boiled eggs."
"Okay~ Wait a minute, officer~!"
Fan Zhou settled the bill, and then stuffed Fang Taihe with eggs to eat on the way. He still has something to do, Brother Fang has to go on his way, and the two parties need to separate again not long after meeting.
"Brother Fang, don't know when we will meet again this time. You just need to remember that there is always a younger brother, Xiaozhou, in the rivers and lakes."
Hearing this, Fang Taihe laughed freely:
"I will definitely remember, Xiaozhou. But I don't need to look far away from life and death, and I won't go far away. I will live next to Xingqing Mansion. If you miss me someday, you can come to me to talk about the past—you have What's your plan?"
When it comes to the road ahead, Fan Zhou feels that he is young, and even his words are full of youth and hope:
"Of course I will continue to wander in the rivers and lakes. Next, I am going to go to the south. I heard that there are good mountains and rivers, rice, rice, soup and fish. There is a special scene. The government over there is much more relaxed. It belongs to the people of the rivers and lakes. ideas."
"Treasure."
The two sides bid farewell.
...
When the old man Fan Zhou woke up from his dream, it was still dark.
There is only myself in the house, and the autumn night cool breeze sneaks in through the cracks in the door and windows, so that the temperature in the house is not noticeable.
The pillow was already soaked, it was tears gushing out from my sleep.
"Hehe, I'm old, I'm really old, maybe this is the 'teenage thing about dreams in the middle of the night'..." Fan Zhou laughed at himself, then said a few words to himself, completely lost sleepiness.
He got up from the bed, pulled one side of his robe over his body, sighed, and began to recall.
The place where Big Brother Fang lives in seclusion is actually in a nearby town. He has visited several times later, but when he visited this time last time, Big Brother Fang had already passed away.
I heard that he had an emergency and left without even a last word.
But for this, Fan Zhou was very envious.
Brother Fang lived quite comfortably in the second half of his life, with shelter from the wind and rain, a place to shelter, and a child to die for him.
I just don’t know how that child is doing now…
The last time I went to that town, I heard that he had sold his family property and left, maybe he also entered the rivers and lakes... Sigh, don’t think about it, I am now dying.
Hehe, what can I do with this look...
Fan Zhou simply put his robe aside, turned the pillow over, and continued to lie down and sleep.
...
…
This time was quite rewarding. From the memories of the old man, he knew the past of the original adoptive father, the origin of the man in black who visited several times, and some clues about the original parents.
In front of the Earth Temple, Fang Chang cupped his hands and said to the land next to him:
"Thank you for your help this time, the Lord of the Land. I have already learned what is needed. The matter is over, so I will bid farewell."
"Shangxian, don't be polite, this is just a little effort, go slowly." Hearing Fang Chang's words, the land lord hurriedly replied.
Then Tu Tu leaned on the standard crutches and watched the tall man turn a corner not far away before lightly tapping the end of the crutches and returning to his mansion to rest.
Fang Chang has a good impression of the name of the firm.
When passing by Huaifeng Mansion, I have seen a signboard with these two characters, but the door is locked, and there should be no one inside.
In his spiritual perception, he had just obtained the opportunity he had foreseen before going down the mountain this time.
It turned out not bad, everything went well.
He is ready to continue, and continue to return to the cliff in Yunzhong, waiting for the next opportunity. Fang Chang had a premonition that the next time he went down the mountain for this matter, he would be able to put an end to his original body's obsession.
His calculation level is not high, and it is even more hazy when it comes to himself. Only when the opportunity comes, will it suddenly become clear.
But at this time, there is still something to do.
Can't leave here.
Fang Chang walked along the street in a certain direction.
Before falling into the dream, he had observed the old man surnamed Fan, and saw that a calamity was coming for him today.
Since Fan Zhou provided clues, it can be regarded as beneficial to himself, so let's take action and help him end this disaster.
It was close to morning at this time, but the rooster hadn’t crowed yet, which was when people slept the deepest. Even the street vendors who get up early every day to operate are still fast asleep.
Of course, it is also a good time to do things.
Not far away, a group of people came in a file. They held torches, wore black clothes and masked their faces, and the steel knives in their hands gleamed coldly under the flames and moonlight.
Fang Chang leaned against the tree and looked at them.
Then he took out his straight-backed jade table knife from his pocket, and twirled it in his hand. It is small and narrow, compared to the steel knives in the hands of the people in front, it looks like a toy in terms of size and material.
"go."
Raising his hand, he threw the small jade knife into the air, and Fang Chang yelled softly.
The warm color flashes in the air.
Almost at the same time, the group of people masked in black and holding fire with steel knives in the early hours of the morning screamed out almost at the same time.
"ah!"
"who!"
"who is it!"
There was chaos, and they hurriedly reached for their pants.
In the panic, most of the men in black chose to stretch out their hands to complete this action, and many torches and steel knives fell to the ground.
The torch illuminated the ground, and also revealed the reason for their reaction—
Many short strips of cloth were scattered on the ground.
A moment ago, they were complete belts, but they were cut into dozens of pieces at the same moment. These belts were completely broken and could not be connected again.
The instigator completed the task, quickly came to everyone, stopped for a while, and pointed the blade at them, as if to let these people see the body clearly, and then the small jade knife disappeared.
"Which friend is in person, please show up and see!"
The leading man in black reacted quickly, grabbing his trousers with only one hand, and did not drop the steel knife in his hand. He looked nervously into the darkness, waiting for movement in the direction of the jade flying knife.
Thank you for the dogs of Chi, Incompetent Daoist, Grapefruit Tea Not Sweet, Chichi, etc.
