Chapter 245

Shopkeeper Yu drank a mouthful of tea and continued, "My daughter Bi He and Jin Feng's younger sister Yin Feng encountered the bandits of Xi Cui Mountain during their autumn excursion and were taken away by a strong person. Fortunately, the coachman escaped with his life and sent us a message. When we reported it to the authorities, we gathered our family members and went to rescue them. We thought it was already too late, but we didn't expect that the two of them were rescued by two disciples of the Dalin Temple and escaped the prison ahead of us.

However, the two secular disciples who saved my life have disappeared without a trace. "

Speaking up to here, Shopkeeper Yu stole a glance at Zhang Xiaohua, but Zhang Xiaohua kept his head down and remained unmoved.

Shopkeeper Yu continued, "When our two families brought our daughters back home unharmed, naturally we would be endlessly grateful to the benefactors who saved our lives. But it was a pity that we made a mistake and brushed past our benefactors. It made us parents very remorseful, so a few days ago, our two families discussed going to the most famous Shaolin Temple outside the city to burn incense to thank the Buddhist disciples for their kindness to us."

Saying this, Shopkeeper Yu couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaohua again.

Zhang Xiaohu naturally noticed all this, but he didn't point it out and just patiently listened.

Shopkeeper Yu continued, "The Shaolin Temple is quite a distance from Lu Town. When our two families arrived at the Shaolin Temple, we saw that the temple's doors were tightly shut. Only then did we know that the Shaolin Temple seemed to have been attacked by burglars who stole things from the temple. I waited for a day, but still didn't open the doors to welcome the incense. Virtuous nephew must know that this old man's jade shop doesn't open for a year, but if it does, it will last for three years. But the Li Family's tailor shop is different, so the Li Family was somewhat anxious to come back. This old man just happened to have a distant relative next to the Shaolin Temple and hadn't visited for a long time, so he took the opportunity to visit him. As a result, this old man's family separated from the Li Family.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't move, but the killing intent in his heart instantly rose.

Shopkeeper Yu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "After this old man came back, before I even entered the door, I heard the bad news. The Li Family's property was burned and the family of three was nowhere to be found. This old man hurriedly went to the ruins of the Li Family and sent people to search, but there was no trace of them. After listening to the neighbors, I knew that on the night before yesterday, several strong men suddenly broke into the Li Family and kept saying that they were looking for the two girls. Someone immediately reported it to the government. and when the government sent people came, the strong arrogantly said said that they were people from Xi Mountain and they were doing business here and people shouldn't interfere. How could those weak shrimps from the government? How would they dare dare to say a word?

A few strong men carried a few big bags and left. Before they left, they even burned down the Li family's residence. "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't bear it anymore. She slapped the table next to her and the table collapsed, making Shopkeeper Yu tremble.

Zhang Xiaohu scolded, "Xiaohua, sit down. It's too late to go now since it happened the day before yesterday. Let's listen first."

Shopkeeper Yu trembled as he said, "Heroes, please calm down. This old man also heard from the gatekeeper that on the night the Li family was attacked, a few people also came to this old man's house. They turned this old man's house upside down and left angrily when they couldn't find anyone. This old man thought that these people must also be looking for my daughter. Yesterday, this old man had already sent my daughter to a safe place."

After Shopkeeper Yu finished speaking, Zhang Xiaohu asked, "Shopkeeper Yu, are you sure it was done by the bandits of Xi Cui Mountain?

And there were no corpses of the Li Family in the courtyard of the Li Family? "

Shopkeeper Yu said affirmatively, "Yes, it was done by them. The Li Family has always been generous and has a good reputation in the Four Trees area. How could there be any unnecessary grudges?

Moreover, those people kept saying that they were from Xi Cui Mountain and even came to my house to search. Comparing it with the encounter ten days ago, the result is self-evident.

In addition, I have already searched the ruins of the Li Family more than three times, but I really didn't find any corpses. Presumably, the bandits took away not only money, but also people. "

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and asked, "There is one more thing. Shopkeeper Yu, may I ask how to get from Lu Town to Xi Cui Mountain?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yu quickly shook his head and said, "Two heroes, I heard that there are hundreds of bandits in Xi Cui Mountain. If you go there rashly, you will definitely suffer losses. It's better to be prepared. It's better to gather the brothers in your sect and go there together. If you can cooperate with the government and send soldiers, you will be more confident."

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Yu, you worry too much. We are just curious. Maybe the bandits in Xi Cui Mountain will leave the Li Family on the way. We will look for them along the way and try our luck."

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Yu didn't say much and told them in detail.

Then, the Zhang brothers said goodbye and were about to go out. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly turned back and asked, "Shopkeeper Yu, may I ask why you call this place Four Trees?"

Shopkeeper Yu was stunned. After a long time, he came to his senses and said, "It seems that a long time ago, before Lu Town, there were Four Trees here.

This is also what I heard from others. "

Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Well, not bad, a good place, a good name."

Shopkeeper Yu was even more surprised. Why was this boy's thinking so strange?

He didn't know that Zhang Xiaohua had already made up her mind at this time.

Shopkeeper Yu sent the two of them out, but he didn't leave. Instead, he took the two of them to the Li Family's house. Sure enough, it was in ruins. Even some of the neighboring houses had been destroyed.

Since Shopkeeper Yu had already searched, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua didn't delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Yu, they rode the date red horse and left.

When Shopkeeper Yu saw the date red horse that the two of them were riding, his heart was even more tense. He secretly thought that perhaps Old Li still had hope.

Of course, he was also a little relieved. If the Li Family could come back, his daughter could also return home with peace of mind. She didn't have to be worried outside.

Then, he thought of his daughter Bi He and Li Family's Jin Feng. They were childhood sweethearts. But when they grew up, why couldn't they be innocent?

Seeing that Li Jinfeng had two friends with such strong martial arts, he wouldn't be bullied in the future. He was really a good candidate for a son-in-law. But why didn't his daughter and Li Jinfeng meet each other's eyes?

If not, he was the shopkeeper of a jade shop. His thinking wasn't just for show!

The Zhang Brothers rode out of Lu Town. Along the way, neither of them spoke a word. They came to visit in high spirits. They didn't spend the money and were in a depressed mood.

Speaking of the Li Family's tragedy, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think of her relationship with Li Jinfeng. From the time they met to the time they became friends, Young Master Li had always maintained a good friendship with this youth from the countryside. He didn't attack or despise him. In the future, when they became literate, they had a teacher and a friend relationship. This made Zhang Xiaohua feel the warmth of friendship. During the New Year, Li Jinfeng didn't greet Zhang Xiaohua and came to visit. He even put himself in the position of Zhang Xiaohua's friend. He was waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to get along well with her temper. Now, the Li Family had suffered an unexpected disaster. Li Jinfeng was still far away in Ping Yang City and didn't know about it. But even if he knew about it, what could a weak scholar like him do?

Ask the authorities for help? Go to Yu City?

Ask the Misty School to help?

Every path was blocked by Li Jinfeng!

As Li Jinfeng's friend, Zhang Xiaohua felt a sense of responsibility. Since the Li Family needed her strength and she had the ability to help them, what was there to hesitate about?

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua called out, "Second Brother."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohu also called out at the same time, "Xiaohua."

Zhang Xiaohua saw this and said, "Second Brother, you go first."

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "Xiaohua, I think you and I are thinking the same thing.

Li Jinfeng is our friend. He is very kind to us. He is different from Yu Deyi and others. His family is in trouble. If we don't help, not only will we be wronged as friends, but even our martial arts will be in vain. "

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking. Second Brother, since that's the case, let's split up. You go home and inform your family. As for me, I'll catch up with Xi Cui Mountain and see if I can save the Li family."

"Don't!" Zhang Xiaohu stopped her and said, "You said the opposite. You should go back to the Guozhuang House and tell them the news. I will go to Xicui Mountain."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Second Brother, I will naturally listen to you on normal matters. However, today, you have to listen to me on the matter of saving someone. You have just started cultivating your internal energy, so how can you be my match?

It will be more convenient for me to go. "

Zhang Xiaohua's words were very true. In the morning in the square, although Zhang Xiaohua did not fight with Sun Yiding, the martial arts he showed was not something Zhang Xiaohu could compare with. Even if Zhang Xiaohu knew that his Ethereal Magic was definitely better than the Reckless Bull Strength, he had just started practicing it. Distant water could not cure present thirst.

But if he let his brother go to Xicui Mountain like this, he would not be at ease even if he gave ten thousand reasons.

In his eyes, Zhang Xiaohua was still a child who needed his protection.

The two argued for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua said angrily, "Second Brother, what are we doing? Li Jinfeng's parents and sister are still alive. Time is very precious. We should go to Xicui Mountain as soon as possible. How can we face Li Jinfeng if we keep wasting time here?"

Later, Zhang Xiaohua said again, "Since Second Brother is not at ease, I will go. Second Brother, your martial arts are limited. To be honest, with your current martial arts, you can't even go up Xicui Mountain. What are you going to do?

Forget it. Let's go together. You can keep watch outside. I will use my Lightness Skill to go in and see what the situation is like. "

Zhang Xiaohu also thought for a moment and said, "That's the only way. Anyway, we have big brother and sister-in-law at home. We also left enough money for them. They won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Besides, big brother has a descendant now. The Zhang Family will continue to have descendants. Let's go to Xicui Mountain together!"
