Xiao Shijiro

Chapter 23 Thunder and Lightning Twin Gods (1)
A faint mist shrouded Daming Lake.

The autumn scenery of Daming Lake is always so beautiful, whether it is in the daytime or at night, especially when there is fog, it is as beautiful as a picture in a child's dream.

Shen Bijun's makeup building is right by the lake, as soon as she opens the window, the lake is full of autumn colors. Even when she was a child, she knew how to appreciate the always bleak autumn colors on the lake. This is her No matter where you are, you will never forget it.

So after she got married, she often came back here.

Every time she came back, when she was about to get home, she couldn't help poking her head out of the car window. As soon as she saw the small makeup building, she would feel a sense of warmth in her heart.

But now, the makeup building is gone.

The neat roof ridge next to the makeup building is gone.

nothing left!
The ancient, huge, beautiful Shenjiazhuang, which seemed to never be destroyed, has really turned into a piece of rubble now!
The two gates made of oak and newly painted this year have turned into two pieces of burnt wood, which still seem to be emitting wisps of residual smoke.

Shen Bijun felt that he suddenly became like this smoke, this fog, light and light, with no support at all, as if he might disappear in the wind at any time.

Who set this on fire?

What about the people in Zhuangzi?Have they all been murdered?Who did this?
Shen Bijun didn't cry, not even tears.

She seemed completely numb.

Then, an old and kind face gradually appeared in front of her eyes, with pale hair, a three-point majesty, and seven-point kind smile... "Isn't even her old man gone?"

Shen Bijun suddenly rushed forward.

She had forgotten her injured foot, she had forgotten the pain, and she didn't know where the strength came from. The shop guy wanted to hold her, but he didn't.

Her men had rushed past, lying in the rubble.

It wasn't until her body touched these cold rubble that she really accepted the cruel and terrible truth.

She finally burst into tears.

The shop clerk walked over and stood beside her, full of sympathy, but he didn't know how to comfort her. After a long time, he murmured, "This is the case, I think it's better for the girl to go back to the shop first. No matter what, it’s better to discuss it with that gentleman first.”

He sighed, and then said: "Actually, that gentleman is not a bad person. He refused to send the girl back, maybe he was afraid that the girl would be sad when she saw this situation."

It's fine if he didn't say these words, but Shen Bijun cried even more sadly.

Not thinking of the young man with big eyes, she was in enough pain, thinking of him, she wished she could throw her heart on the ground and crush it to pieces.

"Even this shop guy believes in him and can understand his painstaking efforts, but I... I have received so many benefits from him, but instead of trusting him, I want to scold him instead."

She just wished she never said those nasty things.

If Xiao Shishilang came now, she might fall into his arms, confess to him, and beg him to forgive.

But of course Xiao Shishilang won't come now.

The person who came now was not Xiao Shishilang.

In the darkness, someone suddenly coughed a few times.

The shop assistant felt a chill rising from his back, and couldn't help shivering Lingling.

These coughs came from behind him, but he never heard the footsteps of someone approaching. The coughing person seemed to appear from the mist all of a sudden.

How could anyone come to such a place in the dark and foggy night?

He couldn't help but want to look back, but he really didn't dare, he was afraid that when he turned around, he would see a new ghost in the fire pit who had been burnt to death.

Just listen to Mr. Shen Bi said: "Who are you two?"

She didn't know when the crying stopped, and she had stood up, her bright eyes were staring at the shop assistant's back.

He never imagined that this delicate beauty would have such courage.At this moment, not only was there no sign of fear, but her expression was calm, and no one could see that she had just cried bitterly.

But she didn't know that Shen Bijun was very self-reliant and never wanted to shed tears in front of others. Just now she cried bitterly. Firstly, it was because of excessive grief, and secondly, it was because she didn't regard this shopkeeper as a person at all—the shopkeeper, the driver, the girl... Although they are all human beings, their existence is often ignored by others, so they often unintentionally hear many secrets that others cannot hear.

When a wise man seeks out secrets, he seeks them out first.

To them, the word "secret" means "extra money".

He only heard the man cough twice before slowly saying: "Look at the girl paying her respects here, does it have something to do with the 'Golden Needle Shen Family'?"

This man spoke softly and calmly, and he was obviously a very well-mannered person.

Shen Bijun hesitated, finally nodded, and said, "That's right, my surname is Shen."

The man said: "What's the name of Miss and Taijun Shen?"

Shen Bijun said: "Her old man is me..."

Having said that, she suddenly stopped talking.

After these few days, she has more or less understood the dangers of people in the world, and also learned to "speak only a few minutes when meeting people, and keep a few words when you speak".

The origin of these two people is unknown, their whereabouts are strange, she is seriously injured, and the remaining less than [-]% of the [-]% of martial arts, how can she not be more careful.

The man waited for a while, but did not hear the following, and then slowly continued: "Could it be that the young lady is Mrs. Lian?"

Shen Bijun pondered, and said: "I have just asked the names of the two of you, why did you refuse to tell me?"

She felt that she said this sentence very smartly and appropriately, but she didn't know that asking such a question was like admitting her identity.

The man smiled and said, "It's really Mrs. Lian, please forgive me for being rude."

Before he finished speaking, the shop assistant saw two people walking out from behind him.

The two are tall and short, one strong and one thin.

The taller one has a majestic body, his face is like the bottom of a pot, and he is holding a big iron gun with a handle three feet longer than his body upside down. The red tassel on the tip of the gun is flashing, and he looks really majestic.

The short one was thin and withered, with a sallow complexion, and even when he was not sick, he looked sickly. He used a pair of rare foreign weapons, and even Shen Bijun couldn't name him.

These two people were dressed in exquisite clothes, but at the moment the clothes were wrinkled and stained with mud and water, as if they hadn't taken them off for several days.

As soon as the two came out, they bowed to Shen Bijun with a very respectful manner.

Shen Bijun immediately retracted his bow and returned the gift, but his eyes were fixed on them, and he said, "The two are..."

The short one said first: "Under Thunder Mantang, it's from Taihu Lake."

When he didn't speak, everyone thought he must be the one who spoke just now, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was like a bell, as if he regarded everyone as deaf.

The tall one went on to say: "My surname is Long and my name is Guang, with a flash of cursive characters, Madam, please give me some advice."

Although this man is tall and burly, his speech is gentle and gentle, completely different from theirs.

The clerk stared straight at him, and felt that the saying "You shouldn't judge by appearance" was absolutely correct.

Shen Bijun showed his face and said: "So it's Lei Daxia and Long Erxia..."

It turns out that Lei Mantang and Long Yishan are in love with each other, and they have always been inseparable from Meng, and Meng is inseparable. People in the Jianghu call them "the twin gods of thunder and lightning".

"Taihu Thunder God" Lei Mantang is good at using a pair of "Thunder God chisels", with exquisite moves, no matter whether in water or on land, he can operate smoothly, and he is born with amazing supernatural power, which can be said to be undue bravery.

Long Guang is known as "a flash", so he is naturally a master of lightness kung fu.

The two dominate Taihu Lake, and their chivalrous names spread far and wide. Although Lei Mantang has a fiery temper, he is eager to fight for justice, and he is a first-class hero in the Jianghu.

Although Shen Bijun had never seen them, he had heard of them for a long time. Now that he heard the names of these two people, he calmed down a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

But the smile disappeared after a flash, so Peng Pengfei and Liu Yongnan also have the reputation of being chivalrous, but their actions are worse than animals.

Thinking of this, how could she still laugh?
Long Yishan bowed and said: "It's nothing to be called a lowly name, and the word 'Xia' is absolutely unbearable."

Shen Bijun forced a smile, and said, "The two of you have come from Taihu Lake, but you don't know what's important?"

Long Yishan sighed, and said: "I came all the way here to pay Mrs. Tai's birthday, but unexpectedly... I came a step late."

"It's a step late" heard the five words in Shen Bijun's ears, it was like a thunderbolt struck in mid-air, shaking her soul away.

She originally wanted to ask them if Mrs. Shen was also killed?

But how dare she ask out?

Lei Mantang said: "We came here two days ago."

This sentence seems to have not been finished, but he has stopped, because he himself knows that his voice is too loud, and he has always seldom said unnecessary words.

Shen Bijun held back his grief, and asked: "Two days ago... Could it be that this place already..."

Long Yishan nodded sadly and said: "When my brother came, there was already a fire here, and there were many casualties, I only regret that my brother came one step later, even with all his strength, he still couldn't put out the fire."

He looked down at the water stains on his clothes, it was obvious that they were stained during firefighting, and he had not slept for two days, so he didn't even change his clothes.

The words "death and injury everywhere" really made Shen Bijun angry and sad, but since there are "wounded", there must still be people alive.

She still had hope in case of an emergency in her heart, and hurriedly asked: "But who are the injured?"

Long Yi said: "Back then 'Ludong Siyi' happened to be guests at the residence, the hero and the third hero were unfortunately killed, the second and fourth heroes were also seriously injured."

"Ludong Siyi" is also surnamed Shen, originally a distant relative of Jinzhen Shen's family, every year on Taijun Shen's birthday, the four brothers must come on time with a big gift, but this time they came late for some reason, and unexpectedly caught up with this time In a catastrophe, Shen Tiansong, the most powerful hero in martial arts, was murdered.

Shen Bijun not only recognized the four brothers, but also knew them very well.

She bit her cherry lips, and then asked: "Apart from Shen Erxia and Shen Sixia, who else was injured?"

Long Yishan shook his head slowly, and sighed: "Except for the two of them, there is no one else."

Although he said as if "no one else was wounded," he clearly meant: "no one else lived."

Shen Bijun couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered: "My ancestor... ancestor..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.

Long Yishan said: "Shen Tianju and Shen Tianzhu are on the boat over there, why not Madam also go over there to rest, and then we can make a long-term plan."

On the shore of the lake, as expected, the shadow of a boat can be vaguely seen.

Shen Bijun looked into the distance and nodded slowly.

Long Yi flashed: "Madam, can she still walk?"

Shen Bijun looked at his legs and let out a long sigh.

Lei Mantang suddenly said: "I'm nearly sixty this year, if Ma'am is not too presumptuous, how about I help Madam go?"

Shen Bijun suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Although her voice is weak, it has a majesty of its own.

Lei Mantang stopped involuntarily, and stared, as if feeling very strange.

Shen Bijun bit his lip, and said slowly: "Shen Erxia and Shen Sixia are really on that boat?"

Lei Mantang's sallow face turned red all of a sudden, and he said angrily, "Could it be that Madam can't trust my brother?"

Shen Bijun muttered: "I...I just..."

Her own face was also a little red. It is really rude to distrust others. If she hadn't suffered a catastrophe, she would never have done such a thing.

Long Yishan smiled lightly, and said: "Madam has undergone a tragic change, she should be more cautious, besides, Madam never recognized my brother."

Although he said these few words politely, there were thorns in his words.

Shen Bijun blushed, and sighed: "I...I definitely didn't mean that, but... I don't know if the injuries of Shen Erxia and Shen Sixia are serious? Can we talk?"

Lei Mantang said with a sullen face, "Since you are not dead, why can't you speak?"

Long Yishan sighed: "Shen Sixia has never closed his eyes for two days, and he has never closed his mouth. He keeps chanting a person's name over and over again."

Shen Bijun couldn't help asking: "Whose name?"

Long Yi flashed: "Of course it's the murderer's name."

Shen Bijun trembled all over, and asked word by word:

"The murderer...is...who?"

Who is the murderer?

Although these four words were spoken so lightly and so slowly, the voice was full of resentment, and the shop assistant couldn't help shivering when he heard it.

Lei Mantang said coldly: "Madam doesn't trust my brother, even if I tell you who the murderer is, Madam may not believe it. It's better to go and see for yourself."

Long Yishan smiled, and continued: "There is no one around here, maybe Madam can feel relieved when she is on the boat."

His people looked rough, but they spoke fiercely.

The meaning of this sentence is to say: "There is no one around here. If we have any ill intentions towards you, it will be the same here. There is no need to wait until the boat."

No matter how ignorant Shen Bijun is, she always understands this sentence, not to mention that she has no doubts about these two people now, even if she has, she can no longer refuse such kindness.

She sighed, looked at her feet, and said slowly: "But...but how dare I work for you two?"

Lei Mantang let out a "hum", thrust Lei Gong chisel into his belt, and suddenly turned around and walked to the carriage, only to see that with a light pull of his hands, the entire carriage had been dismantled.

The horse pulling the cart hissed and was about to gallop forward.

Lei Mantang grabbed a piece of wood with one hand, and held the wheel with the other. The horse kicked and struggled, but couldn't move forward.

The shop guy sticks out his tongue, how can he shrink back?He never dreamed that this short, skinny, unremarkable dwarf had such astonishing supernatural power!
Shen Bijun was also secretly surprised, and saw that Lei Mantang had already walked over with the wooden board, put it in front of her, and said with a straight face: "Madam, how about using this wooden board as a sedan chair and letting my brother carry it?"

This man is so powerful, he is afraid that he can knock down Shen Bijun with just one finger at this moment, but he still holds back his breath and has such a thoughtful plan for Shen Bijun.

Not only did Shen Bijun no longer have the slightest doubt at the moment, but he felt that Caicai had been too rude to them just now, and he was really indescribably embarrassed.

She feels that there are still many good people in this world after all.

The boat is not big, and it was originally used for swimming in the lake.

The arrangement in the cabin is naturally very clean. There are comfortable soft couches on the left and right sides, and there is one person lying on each of the soft couches.

The person on the left had a pale face, and was moaning with his eyes closed. His body was covered with a silk quilt, and Shen Bijun couldn't see where he was injured.

But this person is Shen Tianzhu, the duplicity in the "Ludong Four Righteousnesses", but there is no doubt about it.

The person on the right had no blood on his face, stared blankly at the cabin ceiling, and said seven words over and over in his mouth: "Xiao Shishilang, you are so ruthless... Xiao Shishilang, you are so ruthless!" ..."

The voice was full of resentment, but also full of fear.

Shen Bijun sat there, listening to it over and over again, that gentle and beautiful face suddenly became indescribably terrifying.

She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Xiao Shishilang, I will never let you go, I will never let you go..."

This voice and Shen Tianju's babble echoed each other, making it even more creepy.

Lei Mantang said bitterly: "Xiao Shishilang dared to do such an outrageous thing. Everyone can punish him. Don't say that Madam will not let him go, and we will never allow him to get away with it!"

His voice was loud, but Shen Bijun didn't seem to hear a single word.

She stared blankly into the distance, and kept saying that sentence over and over in her mouth: "Xiao Shishilang, I will never let you go!"

Long Yishan suddenly winked at Lei Mantang, and with a flash of figure, he was already outside the cabin. Although this person is tall, his lightness skill is so high that he is indeed worthy of the word "Yi Shan".

After a while, I heard a scream from the shore of the lake.

The miserable cry sounded like that of the shop assistant. It was sharp and short, and it was obvious that someone had strangled his throat as soon as he cried out.

Lei Mantang frowned, stood up slowly, and pushed open the cabin.

But seeing a flash of a figure, Long Yishan has already skimmed the bow of the ship.

Lei Mantang scolded softly: "Who is following you?"

Long Yi flashed: "Who is there? Are you dazzled?"

Although he said so, he couldn't help but look back.

When he turned around, he saw a pair of shining eyes!

This pair of eyes was behind him, less than three feet away from him, staring at him coldly.

Long Yishan's lightness kung fu is so high that he is already a first-class skill in the Jianghu, but he didn't even know the shadow of this person following him.

Lei Mantang's face also changed color, and when he fell down, he had copied the fine steel Lei Gong chisel that had hit the acupuncture points of his body with two double strikes in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

This yell was like a thunderbolt, and the tea in the teacup on the table was so shaken that it splashed out.

Shen Bijun couldn't help being moved by the shout, and slowly turned his gaze away.

I saw Long Yishan retreating into the cabin step by step, his face was full of horror, although his right hand had grasped the hilt of the soft sword on his belt, he never dared to pull it out.

A person stuck to him like a shadow, he took a step back, and this person followed him a step further, with a pair of sharp eyes staring coldly at his face all the time.

I saw that this man was not very old, but he already had a beard, a short knife was inserted obliquely in his belt, and he was holding a dead body in his hand.

Lei Mantang said angrily: "Second brother, why don't you make a move yet?"

Long Yishan's teeth chattered, but he still didn't dare to pull out a sword.

This man is holding a dead man in his hand, and he can still follow behind him like a shadow, making him completely unaware.

It's okay for others to be on the outside, only Long Yishan can understand the horror of this person's lightness kung fu, at this moment his palms are already drenched in cold sweat, how can he draw his sword?
Lei Mantang stomped his feet and rushed forward.

Suddenly Shen Bijun said loudly: "Wait a minute, this person is my friend..."

She didn't expect that the one who followed Long Yi in was the man with big eyes, seeing him suddenly at this moment, it was really like seeing a relative.

Lei Mantang was startled, but finally stopped.

Long Yishan took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair with a "poof".

Xiao Shishilang never looked at him again, walked over slowly, put down the corpse he was holding in his hands, his eyes seemed reluctant to leave Shen Bijun's face any longer.

Surprised and delighted, Shen Bijun couldn't help standing up, and said, "You...how did you come here?"

As soon as she stood up, she was about to fall again.

Xiao Shishilang supported her, smiled sadly, and said, "I don't know how I came here."

Although this sentence was said indifferently, Shen Bijun naturally knew the true meaning in it.

"Although I wronged him, even though I scolded him, he is still worried about me..."

Shen Bijun didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Although he didn't dare to think about it any more, he still couldn't help feeling a sense of warmth in his heart. The face that had become so scary just now became gentle again.
