Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 9 Loyalty
"Wow-wow-", the crows cry under the moon, the night wind shakes the trees, the barren mountains and wild temples are empty.

But this is where Li Xing lives. Unable to afford the rent in the city, he passed by the ruined temple to avoid the rain during a certain mission, and was attracted by the ruined temple at that time.

After several inquiries, it was found that no one claimed it, so he simply occupied this ruined temple as his own foothold.

With stumbling steps, Li Xing pushed open the gate of the ruined temple.

The starlight penetrated straight down through the damaged roof, illuminating the temple where some god or Buddha was enshrined.

But at this moment, the temple has been dilapidated, the gods and Buddhas have fallen, and only half of the adobe remains, so there are few people, and the bricks and tiles are broken, which does not cover the rainy season.

With difficulty, Li Xing bid farewell to Lan Yingying's gracious invitation, took the plaster and a first-class Tsing Yi from her, dragged his tired and bruised body, and left the Lan's compound. After leaving the city, I walked slowly for a few kilometers and came to the deserted forest on the edge of the city.

Although the small temple is broken, it has a rare peace. It is an exaggeration to say that there is a sense of home here.

Li Xin cautiously looked around the ruined temple, and then at the incense ash he had sprinkled in front of the ruined temple gate, making sure that no one had come here while he was away, and then he walked leisurely into the gate.

There is a simple bed and a few pieces of furniture in one corner of the temple, but Li Xing dismisses it.

Slowly to the back of the broken statue, there is an inconspicuous small door hidden there.

Crouching down and opening the door, Li Xing got in with difficulty, and slowly climbed into his real lair along a passage that only accommodated half-squatting.

This is a basement, a safe haven that Li Xing spent a lot of time building for himself.

Except for him, almost no one can find this place, and all his belongings are stored here.

After simply tidying up the items he brought back, Li Xing took off the clothes that were soaked with his own blood.

Then I checked my wound briefly. Although I don't understand medical knowledge, just looking at the appearance, the bandage is very good and professional!

Feeling empty in his stomach at this moment, he skillfully took out the supplies that had been hidden away for a long time, took out a dry biscuit, poured cold water on it, gobbled it up, and hastily filled his stomach. Crooked, fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was more solid than ever!
When Li Xing woke up again, the sun was already high, and the wound on his body was a little itchy, as if he was growing flesh.

Miss Lan is quite generous, this is indeed the best Jinchuang medicine!
The hunger in his stomach was really unbearable, so Li Xing picked up another piece of dry biscuit, and crawled out of his secret room while chewing.

When I came to the ruined temple, I simply arranged the beds, tables and chairs used as a cover, as if they were inhabited, and then went out to the creek not far away.

This creek that eventually flows into the big river is also the main reason why he chose to customize this place as his own occupation point.

After a simple grooming, Li Xing keenly heard the shouts from afar.

"Master Xing, Master Xing!"

It's Little Six!Isn't there news so soon?

Li Xing was stunned. The thing that was arranged only yesterday has been answered so quickly. Is this guy so reliable now?

Li Xing tidied up his clothes, and walked back to the ruined temple in a leisurely manner.

"I'm here!"

For his own waiting, Xiao Liu was not angry, but raised his hands with a smile.

"Master Xing, do you see what good things I brought you?"

I saw Xiao Liu was holding two oil paper bags in his left hand and right hand, and he knew it was a good roasted chicken and marinated vegetables just by smelling the aroma.

At this moment, the glutton in Li Xing's belly just blew, and it came just in time!

A smile climbed onto Li Xing's face, he pushed open the gate, led Xiao Liu into the ruined temple, wiped the tables and chairs casually, and asked Xiao Liu to sit down.

Xiao Liu smiled and opened the oiled paper bag he was carrying.

A few taels of pork head meat, half a roast chicken, and some peanuts, melons and fruits were placed in front of Li Xing. They were still slightly hot, and the aroma was very attractive.

"You kid is rich, how can you put out this pile of things?"

"Look at what you said! Master Xing, I didn't hear that you were injured, and I was thinking about repairing you!"

Did the news spread so fast?Li Xing asked himself his whereabouts yesterday, and it didn't seem too deliberate. How could it have been passed into the ears of these thieves in such a short period of time?
"Who told you I was hurt?"

Li Xing frowned and asked instinctively.

"Who else? City guards!"

Xiao Liu replied nonchalantly, obviously, Chengwei was also one of his sources of information.

Li Xing thought about it, shrugged his shoulders, put aside his distracting thoughts, grabbed half of the chicken leg with his bare hands, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in two or three bites.

"Tell me, is there any news?"

"Hey, Master Xing, you don't know how hard we have been looking for these two days!"

Wait, two days?
Li Xin was stunned: "You said two days?"

Li Xing repeated it again.

"Yeah, it's been 2 days since you came to see me!"

isn't it?
I actually fell asleep for two days!
Only then did Li Xing understand the reason why he was so hungry.It seems that he still underestimated the impact of excessive blood loss on himself...

Li Xing secretly warned himself that he must never be so careless again!A teacher who does not forget the future, you still need to be cautious when going out!
"Then what did you find out?"

Xiao Liu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said truthfully.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that after you gave the order, we mobilized the brothers to inquire. Recently, there have indeed been a lot of new faces in the city..."

"Many of them look like they smell like blood!"

"But the Golden Swallow you're looking for, we've only listed a few suspected targets, but we haven't locked their identities, so shouldn't this be reported to you?"

It's good to have a goal, it's better than being a headless chicken!

"Good job!"

Li Xing patted Xiao Liu's shoulder affectionately.

"This little thing can't disappoint you, Master Xing, but..."

Xiao Liu hesitated to speak, "We also inquired about something, it seems to be about the city lord and the Lan family..."

"Is there any role for the city lord in this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Xiu was slightly surprised, but he still patted his chest, touching the wound, and couldn't help grinning a painful expression at the corner of his mouth, and then said to Xiao Liu with a big grin.

"Check it out, maybe there will be some unexpected gains!"

Having said that, Li Xing suddenly paused, turned around pretendingly, took out a jar containing 2 catties of wine from under his bed, and put it on the table.

"With delicious food, how can there be no good wine to accompany it!"

While speaking, he opened the seal on the wine jar with his palm, and the tangy aroma instantly poured into the nostrils of the two of them.

"Wow, drunk in the spring breeze!"

Obviously, Xiao Liu is not uninformed, and he can understand the origin of this wine just by smelling it.

"Enen, if you have meat and wine, you should enjoy your friendship and enmity."

Li Xing slapped the wine jar on the table.

"drink!"

Xiao Liu was not too polite, he couldn't wait to lift the wine jar, almost bringing it to his mouth.

But after a little thought, he still stopped, put down the wine jar, and said to Li Xing with a smirk.

"Master Xing, why don't you have two bowls, I still want to taste this wine carefully!"

"Unambitious guy!"

Li Xing sneered, he knew that the kid in front of him just thought wine was expensive, but he still took out two wine bowls from the corner, wiped them pretendingly, and blew, as if he had already blown away all the wine bowls on them. dust.

Fill up two bowls, "Let's go!"

Li Xing clinked bowls with Xiao Liu, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

"Ahem, cough, fragrant wine, spicy wine!"

Li Xing's heroic Jianghu spirit satisfied the young man's longing for the Jianghu. At this moment, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a little pride in his heart.

The two shared a sip of wine and a sip of meat, and after a while, Xiao Liu became drunk.

He kept patting his big chest and said to Li Xing.

"Master Xing, don't worry, we travel the rivers and lakes relying on loyalty! No matter what you want to do, with our friendship, I will definitely help you!"

"Loyalty! Loyalty! Walking in the rivers and lakes, righteousness, the word righteousness comes first..."
