Anthology of Gu Long: The Prodigal Son of Border Town

Chapter 36 The Sword Without Sheath (2)
But the dead man turned out to be Zhang Laoshi who was still talking to him just now.

He lay quietly in the coffin, the oil apron on his body had finally been taken off.

This honest man who has worked hard all his life has finally rested in peace.

But he was still in the town just now, and he was obviously still wearing the oil apron, why is he lying in the coffin now.

What's even more strange is that Chen Daguan, Ding Laosi, Boss Song, and shopkeeper Hu from the street food store were all in the coffin.

These people were all in the town just now, how could they all die here suddenly?

When did you die?
Touching their chests, everyone was frozen and stiff, and had been dead for at least ten hours.

They have all been dead for more than ten hours.

If they had been dead for more than ten hours, who were those people who talked to Ye Kai in the town just now?

Ye Kai looked at these corpses, but there was no surprise on his face, instead he smiled, as if he was very satisfied with himself.

Could it be that this matter was in his expectation?
Since a person dies, of course there is a fatal reason.

Ye Kai checked the fatal wounds of these people carefully, and suddenly dragged them all out of the coffin and hid them in the tall grass behind the temple.

Then he put the coffins back to their original places.

But he himself still refused to leave, and actually skimmed up to the roof, hid behind the roof and waited.

Who is he waiting for?

He didn't wait for a long time, and saw a horse galloping from the grassland. The horseman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a high hump behind him. It was actually "Golden Backed Camel Dragon" Ding Qiu.

Of course Ding Qiu didn't see him, he rushed to the front of the temple, suddenly got up from the saddle and flew up to the wall.

The coffin was still placed in the yard, and it didn't look like it had been touched.

Ding Qiu looked around, but there was no one around.

This is a good opportunity to set fire.

So he set fire to it.

Setting fire also requires skill, and he is an expert at this. Once the fire is lit, it burns very quickly.

He was the one who brought these coffins, and he was the one who burned them.

Why did he work so hard to bring these coffins and set them on fire?

The sun has risen very high, but it is still some time before sunset.

Ye Kai has returned to town.

He had to come back, and suddenly he found himself so hungry that he could have swallowed a horse.

The fire in Guandi Temple has been burning for a long time, and now the fire is small, and it is still emitting thick smoke.

"How did the fire in Guandi Temple start?"

"The lame man must have started the fire again."

"Someone saw him sleeping on the god table in the temple with his own eyes."

A group of people gathered in front of the fire and discussed, including Chen Daguan, Ding Laosi and Zhang Laoshi.

Ye Kai didn't find it strange at all, as if he had already counted on seeing them here.

But he didn't expect to see Ma Fangling.

Ma Fangling also saw him, and immediately showed a strange expression on her face, as if she was thinking about whether she should greet him or not.

Ye Kai had already walked towards her, and said with a smile, "Hello."

Ma Fangling bit her lip and said, "Not good."

Today she is not wearing red, but white, and her face is also pale, she seems to have lost a lot of weight.

Could it be that she suffered from insomnia for two consecutive nights?
Ye Kai blinked and asked again: "Where is the third boss?"

Ma Fangling stared and said, "What are you asking him for?"

Ye Kai said: "I'm just asking."

Ma Fangling said: "You don't need to ask."

Ye Kai sighed, smiled wryly, "Then I won't ask."

Ma Fangling still stared and said, "I want to ask you, where did you go just now?"

Ye Kai laughed again, and said, "Since I can't ask you, why do you ask me?"

Ma Fangling said, "I'm happy."

Ye Kai said lightly: "I also want to tell you, but it's a pity that some things men do are inconvenient to say in front of women."

Ma Fangling bit her lip, and said bitterly: "It turns out that what you did was all shameful things."

Ye Kai said: "Fortunately, I don't know how to set fire."

Ma Fangling asked, "Who set the fire?"

Ye Kai said: "What do you guess?"

Ma Fangling said: "Have you seen that Fu?"

Ye Kai said: "Of course I saw it."

Ma Fangling said, "When did you see it?"

Ye Kai said: "It seems like yesterday."

Ma Fangling stared at him, stomped her feet fiercely, her pale face turned red with anger.

Chen Daguan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I don't know if he will go to the third boss..."

Ma Fangling sneered, "He can't find it."

Chen Daguan said: "Why?"

Ma Fangling said: "Because I can't even find it."

Why did the third boss suddenly disappear?Where did you go?
Someone was about to ask, but at this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, which interrupted their words.

A shiny black black horse came galloping from outside the town.

Immediately sat a tall man like an iron tower, with a bald head, bare chest, black satin embroidered bloomers with gold flowers, leggings that caught the waves, and shoes with pointed shoes. He didn't lift the rein with his hands, but he was holding a flagpole as thick as a bowl.

On the flagpole more than four feet high, there is still a person standing.

A man in bright red clothes, with his hands behind his back, was standing on the head of a pole. The horse was running fast, but his man was motionless, and he seemed to be more stable than standing on flat ground.

Ye Kai only looked up, then couldn't help sighing, and murmured: "It's really early for him to come."

Wu Zou has already galloped into the town, and everyone can't help but look up, both surprised and happy.

Everyone has already guessed who this person is.

Suddenly, the healthy horse neighed and stopped.

The man in red still stood with his hands behind his back, motionless on the pole, raised his face and asked, "Have you arrived yet?"

The bald man immediately said: "Here we are."

The man in red asked, "Did you come out to welcome us?"

The bald man said: "There seem to be several."

The man in red asked, "What kind of people are they?"

The bald man said: "It still looks like a human being."

Only then did the man in red nod his head, and murmured, "Today's weather is really nice, it's really the weather for killing people."

Ye laughed and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you can only kill a few birds on it, and people can't kill them."

The man in red immediately lowered his head and stared at him.

Looking from below, it can also be seen that he is a very beautiful young man, with a pair of eyes that are even brighter like spots of paint.

He was high above, staring at Ye Kai, and said sharply, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Ye Kai said: "You."

The man in red said, "Do you know who I am?"

Ye Kai said: "Could it be that you are Lu Xiaojia who kills without batting an eye?"

The man in red sneered, "At least you still have some eyesight."

Ye Kai laughed and said, "Thank you."

The man in red asked, "Who are you?"

Ye Kai said: "My surname is Ye."

The man in red said: "Is it you who they invited me to kill here?"

Ye Kai said: "It seems not."

The man in red sighed, and said coldly, "It's a pity."

Ye Kai also sighed and said, "It's a pity."

The man in red said: "You also feel that it's a pity?"

Ye Kai said: "A little bit."

The man in red said: "After I kill that person, I will kill you again, okay?"

Ye Kai said: "Excellent."

He actually seemed to be very happy.

The man in red raised his face and said coldly: "Whoever said he looks like a human is really blind."

The bald man said: "Yes, the slave is blind."

The man in red asked, "Is there someone surnamed Chen here?"

Chen Daguan immediately rushed forward and said, "I'm next."

The man in red said: "Where is the person you asked me to kill?"

Daguan Chen apologized and said with a smile: "Hero Lu came too early, that person hasn't arrived yet."

The man in red lowered his face and said, "Go call him, let me kill him quickly, I don't have time to wait here."

From the way he spoke, it seemed that it was an honor to die at his hands, so it should have been waiting here to be slaughtered long ago.

Even Chen Daguan felt a little dumbfounded when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Since the hero Lu is here, why don't you come down and sit down first?"

The man in red said coldly: "It's cool up here..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a "crack", and the flagpole as thick as a sea bowl suddenly broke.

The man in red waved his arms, and he looked like a red bat with wings, hovering and falling.

Everyone's eyes were straightened, and Ma Fangling suddenly clapped her hands and said, "It's so easy..."

As soon as she finished saying these three words, she found that the man in red had landed in front of her, stared at her with wide eyes, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

His eyes were black and bright.

Ma Fangling's face seemed to be a little red, she lowered her head and said, "My...my surname is Ma."

There was another "bang", and the broken half of the flagpole fell down at this moment and hit the roof ridge. If it fell again, it was about to hit several people in the head.

Unexpectedly, the big man jumped up and bumped the flagpole with his bald head, knocking the flagpole four or five feet away, and threw it far behind the ridge of the roof.

Ma Fangling couldn't help but smiled again, and said, "This man's head is so hard."

The man in red said: "Your head should be as hard as his."

Ma Fangling blinked and said, "Why?"

The man in red said: "Because there is still half of the flagpole, and it will hit you on the head soon."

Ma Fangling was stunned.

The man in red said with a sullen face, "Why did the flagpole suddenly break? Could it be you who did the trick? As soon as I saw you, I knew you were not a good thing."

Ma Fangling's face flushed again, this time from anger, she was still holding a whip in her hand, and suddenly she whipped the whip towards the man in red.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man in red stretched out his hand, he grabbed the whip and said with a sneer, "Okay, you are really courageous, you dare to fight with me."

As soon as his hand was moved back, Ma Fangling couldn't help but fell to this side. She just wanted to reach out to slap his face, but when she stretched out her hand, she was also caught by him.

Ma Fangling's neck was flushed red, she gritted her teeth and said, "You...will you let me go?"

The man in red said: "Don't let go."

Ma Fangling said, "What do you want?"

The man in red said: "First kneel down and kowtow to me three times, then crawl on the ground twice, and I will spare you!"

Ma Fangling cried out, "Don't even think about it!"

The man in red said: "Then you don't want me to let you go."

Ma Fangling gritted her teeth, stomped her feet and said, "Ye, you...are you a dead person?"

Ye Kai sighed, and said leisurely: "There is indeed a dead person here, but it's not me."

Ma Fangling said bitterly: "Who are you?"

Ye Kai smiled, but raised his head, looked at the opposite roof and said, "You were the one who interrupted the flagpole, so why do you want others to suffer for you?"

Everyone couldn't help but followed him to look over, the roof was empty, not even a shadow of a ghost.

But suddenly something was thrown out from behind the eaves, and fell to the ground with a "poof", which turned out to be a peanut shell.

After a while, another thing was thrown out, but it was dried longan skin.

The face of the man in red seemed to have changed, he gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that ghost is here too."

The bald man nodded, suddenly shouted, jumped seven feet high, swung half of the flagpole in his hand, and threw himself on the eaves.

Just hearing the sound of the wind, the whole house seemed to be knocked down.

Unexpectedly, a light blue light suddenly flew out from behind the eaves, and after a flash, the flagpole broke again.

The bald-headed man shot empty all of a sudden, his whole body fell down, and fell heavily to the ground.
