Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 35 35. Beheading
Li Yuan knocked on the door a few times, but did not continue, but waited patiently.

He stepped back a little, taking the opportunity to look at the house in Baiyun Alley of Yinxifang.

There is no high-end feeling, just an ordinary house with black tiles and white walls, which is a bit plain.

The ground is pitted and muddy, and there is no floor or the like.

The nongzi is not wide, even a little cramped.

However, the distance between the houses seems to be a little dense. After going out the door and taking two steps to the side, you will arrive at the neighbor's house.

However, such an ordinary residential area already belongs to the mid-range residential area in Yinxifang.

Like yesterday's steward, he still lives in a wooden shed, which is poorer than Xiaomofang. The only good thing is that he can walk to the main road of Yinxifang not far away, so it is convenient to buy things.

Li Yuan was thinking, when he suddenly heard a soft "creak".

But the side door opened.

He turned his head slightly, only to see a gorgeous girl with rouge and powder coming out from the next door, yawning.

"0~1" floated beside the girl, and she glanced at him arrogantly, then went away without looking again.

This made Li Yuan a little dazed.

Could it be that the girl saw through at a glance that he was a country bumpkin who didn't belong here?
However, seeing the girl walking out, combined with what he saw while lying on the railing of Tianxiangfang last night, Li Yuan was sure that the law and order here was indeed better than that of Xiaomofang.

Dressed up so beautifully and still walking out, and there are ordinary people wandering on the street in the middle of the night, the law and order is already many times better than that of Xiaomofang.

After a while, the door of the room where Li Yuan was waiting was opened.

The person who opened the door was a strange woman dressed as a maid, who looked quite attractive.

The servant girl glanced at Li Yuan and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Yuan handed over the breakfast box from Yichan Pavilion, and said with a smile, "My name is Li Yuan, and I'm here looking for Brother Cai Ze. Please go and inform me."

The maid glanced at the breakfast box, stepped forward to take it, and said politely: "Wait a minute, the master hasn't woken up yet."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "No rush."

After a long time, a young man who had changed into a yamen uniform came out, saw Li Yuan standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, here you come, sit inside."

Li Yuandao: "Yuan knew that Brother Cai had a lot of affairs during the day, so he didn't dare to bother him, but he just got the money together, so he came here to submit it."

As he spoke, he took out two prepared small bags, one containing 10 taels of small silver ingots, and the other containing five silver beans.

Cai Ze took the two bags, looked at them, and said with satisfaction, "You got them together so quickly?"

Li Yuandao: "I went into the forest yesterday and beat people to death. I was lucky. I caught a wild boar and just sold it for some money."

Cai Ze nodded and said, "Brother Li is a capable and up-to-date person. This matter will be settled for you within five days by Mr. Cai. After five days, you can come to me to get your residence permit."

"Thank you, Brother Cai!" Li Yuan saluted sincerely, and then said, "If Brother Cai has nothing to say, I won't bother you anymore."

After Li Yuan's operation, 30 taels of silver became 7 taels.

He feels distressed, but these are money that should be spent.

If this is saved and the matter fails to be completed, it will be too late to regret.

Back in Xiaomofang, Yan Yu looked at her man's red eyes, and the smell of alcohol and rouge all over his body, said nothing, boiled water silently, helped him take a bath, and put him to bed for a while.

Just as Yan Yu was about to do the laundry, his wrist was grabbed violently.

Lady Yan turned her head.

Li Yuan was holding her hand.

The two looked at each other, and Li Yuan said, "Sister Yan, I haven't slept with other women."

"Yeah..." Lady Yan showed a joyful smile. Even though the winter had not yet passed, spring seemed to have been born in those bright and shining apricot eyes.

After a short silence, Lady Yan said coquettishly, "How can there be such a stupid man as you who don't sleep after spending money?"

After all, the little lady seemed to be really happy. She took out the changed clothes, half-embraced the wooden basin, and took Aunt Wang to the river to wash.

Li Yuan slept until evening, got up, ate dinner, and prepared to go out for a walk.

He walked into the courtyard and glanced at Xiaomo Mountain in the distance, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

He went hunting in the mountains two days ago, but he didn't see Xiao Huang.

One must know that in the past, Xiao Huang would always follow the scent to find him.

Even if he was in the little ink workshop, Xiao Huang would come down quietly by touching the mountain road.

But it's been a long time, and Xiao Huang hasn't appeared yet.

Li Yuan sighed deeply, remembering how Xiao Huang tried his best not to let him go forward, and then gave the warning in time and turned to run away.

This is a favor owed to a beast.
As for going back to the mountains to find Xiao Huang, forget it.

He will never go to the remote mountains and old forests that are inaccessible.

This is a lesson learned with Half-Life.

He walked for a while, and suddenly a middle-aged man came out tremblingly in front of him.

When the middle-aged man saw Li Yuan, he hurriedly accompanied Xin Xin to step forward and shouted, "Brother Yuan."

Li Yuan took a look, isn't this Uncle Cai?
Uncle Youcai is Tian Bao's father, why did he come to find him?
Uncle Cai stepped forward, and a big man's eyes turned red, "Brother Yuan, Ah Bao won't let me tell you, but I..."

"What's the matter, Uncle Cai?"

"A Bao. When he came back yesterday, he was beaten up. One of his eyes was poked and blinded. He was lying at home."

"what?!"

After a while.

Li Yuan came to Uncle Youcai's house.

On the ground, the tall and thin boy's right eye was wrapped with a bandage, and there was blood on the bandage. When he saw Li Yuan approaching, he stared at Uncle Youcai anxiously, and shouted: "Who told you to tell Brother Yuan?" of! Who let"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "What happened?"

Tian Bao immediately calmed down and said, "Brother, it's nothing."

"Am I not going to say anything?"

"No Brother, it was just that he was robbed by three people when he came back.

The three people asked me where I got the money for selling wild boars, and I said I deposited it in a bank. They looked for the receipts, but they couldn’t find them, so they beat me up, and I was blinded at that time.
But hey, one of the three got scratched in the face by me, it's not good
They also asked me where you were and what your name was, but I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything that I wouldn't betray Brother Yuan. "

Li Yuan's expression moved slightly.

Sure enough, as long as there is some profit, people will be targeted.

That whole wild boar can be sold for a lot of money. No one in Xiaomofang has been eyeing it, but someone has been eyeing it.

"Recover well."

Li Yuan took care of him, then turned back, took five catties of meat from home, and handed it to Uncle Youcai.

When he left, Tian Bao's voice came from behind him.

"Brother Yuan, when I get better, I will follow you."

Li Yuan paused, and said, "Heal your wounds first."

Two days later.

Li Yuan hunted a wild boar and pushed it out of the mountain with a cart with great effort.

He went to Hengwu Restaurant with ease, and after picking up 30 taels of silver, he rested for a while, ate a bowl of noodles, and then pushed the cart back the same way.

The way he went back was not the official way, but a small way to take a shortcut.

On one side of this trail is a field of yellow reeds, and on the other side is a small dark forest, with few houses in front of and behind it.

Li Yuan asked clearly, this is also the path Tian Bao took a few days ago.

At this time, the sky was gloomy, and the waning moon just came out.

Pale moonlight illuminates the road.
Li Yuan walked forward quickly.

Suddenly, he stopped because he caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the nearby woods.

Immediately afterwards, another one came out from the side and the back.

The face of the approaching figure was still red, with some bloodstains, as if he had been caught.

The person walking in front smiled and said, "I'll just say it, they will come again. This time it won't be missed."

The other two laughed and said nothing.

Li Yuan looked at two "2~3" and one "3~4", he was startled, and said in a panic: "Three, you guys"

The man walking in front said: "Spend some money, keep safe, this time we brought a knife."

The man behind said: "If the money is gone, you can make it again, but you only have one life."

The person on the side didn't speak, but approached with a knife in a look of hatred.

The three of them got closer and closer.

Li Yuan shivered.

The person at the front walked up to Li Yuan and was about to threaten him.

Suddenly, Li Yuan directly took out the hatchet stuck in his waist with his right hand, and when he went up, he slashed fiercely.

The man froze for a moment, and hurriedly raised his knife to strike.

Bang! !

The raised knife was directly smashed open by Juli.

Hearing only a "crash", the hatchet chopped off the head obliquely.

The two people on the side and behind were stunned. The person behind didn't see clearly and thought he had made a move, so he rushed forward with a knife, but the person on the side was startled, turned around and ran away.

Li Yuan chopped off his head, took another step forward, turned around to see the person behind him clearly, turned over and stomped, rushed out like an arrow, slashed the person's knife away, and swung it out again.

Another bloody head flew up.

Seeing that there was another person running away, Li Yuan inserted the hatchet into the mud casually, turned his left hand and grasped the big bow behind his back, and took the arrow with his right hand, and nocked the arrow.

The bowstring is taut like the full moon.

Bang!
As soon as the sound was heard, the fleeing man in the distance fell down in response, an arrow pierced through the back of his neck and came out from his throat.

Li Yuan put back his bow, drew the hatchet, rushed forward to make a repair, and cut off his head from the neck to avoid showing the arrow wound.

Then, he quickly dragged the three corpses one by one, put them into the prepared sacks, quickly poured some stones, tied the wounds, then ran to the river bank, and threw them into the river far away from the reeds.

After throwing it away, he threw three more knives into the river far away.

This river is not shallow, if it enters the water, it will be impossible to be discovered for a while.

After doing this, Li Yuan threw the cart on the road, and quickly hid in the small forest next to him. After waiting for half an hour, seeing no one, he walked out again and returned with the cart.
