Seeing the clouds

Chapter 66 Chapter 65 It’s a cool autumn day

The man named Gou Mao, nicknamed Goumao, changed into clean clothes in a corner room on the second floor, drank some water, and then sat on a stool to rest for a while.He is different from Wang Laosi. He is actually very disgusted with flattery from the bottom of his heart.But in life, many things are inevitable.At home, he still has a mother who needs to be supported, and young siblings who need to be raised. His father died young. If he cannot get ahead, how will his closest relatives survive in this dirty world?
But it's not that easy to get ahead. Compared with the group of people sitting downstairs drinking, no matter in terms of qualifications or ability, I have no advantage at all. If I want to climb up, the only way to climb up is to flatter others.

No matter how disgusted I am, what can I do to survive?

Who would choose to be a rat in the gutter rather than a shining hero?
Well, life is not shabby.

Gou Mao sighed, then heard a noise downstairs, and wanted to go out to find out out of curiosity.As a result, as soon as he opened the door, a sharp dagger struck at his neck.And just when the short knife was about to cut his throat, he felt as if he was pushed by something, and subconsciously leaned his body to avoid the fatal blade.

Goumao sat slumped on the ground. He realized that he had just passed death and broke into a cold sweat.The opponent was a little surprised by his extreme dodge, but had no intention of letting him go. The next moment, the sharp dagger struck again.Facing death, Gou Mao subconsciously closed his eyes and shouted: "Sir, spare your life. I, the villain, am also helpless in what happened today."

The tip of the knife stopped less than an inch away from Dog Hair's neck.

Gou Mao opened his eyes and found a man wearing a turban looking down at him. He immediately leaned over and kowtowed: "The villain's father died young, and my mother and younger siblings need to be supported by me alone. It's also hard to take this road." Because of the pressure of life, I have no choice. I have never taken the initiative to do anything to rob a girl. At most, I only took some money from others. This kidnapping was not my idea. I hope you can change my mind once. opportunity. I will definitely leave here, change my past, and beg for my life."

Although these words may seem like a person's excuse for his crimes before death, Gou Mao is indeed telling the truth.

Xu Dingzhou looked at the humble-speaking man in front of him, not much older than himself, and hesitated.

Normally, he would never have given anyone a chance to explain. If the blade struck, he would surely die.But for some reason, he felt very confused at this time. He even felt that he was no longer like himself. He was no longer the Xu Dingzhou who did things without any worries.

Xu Dingzhou touched Yu Gong on his waist and tried hard to find the answer.

Seeing that the person in front of him didn't respond, Goumao tried to say: "Hero?"

Xu Dingzhou said: "Where are the people, where did you take them?"

Goumao immediately replied: "In the third room up the stairs, I will take you there right now."

Xu Dingzhou refused: "No, I can go by myself."

This is good news for Gou Mao. Although his relationship with Wang Laosi is not close, they are just ordinary friends at most apart from their classmates.But Gou Mao knew that even if Wang Laosi deserved death for his crimes, he had indeed helped him a lot, and he really didn't want to fight with him.

Just as Gou Mao breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Dingzhou suddenly stopped, turned his back to Gou Mao and asked, "Do you know what to do next?"

Goumao leaned over and kowtowed again: "I understand, little man."

Then Xu Dingzhou quickly ran towards the target room. People in other rooms on the second floor also heard the sound and moved. However, they had just opened the door and were unaware of the external situation, when the speeding Xu Dingzhou stabbed his throat or heart and died. Not sure.

Wang Laosi in the room did not notice what was happening outside at this time. He leaned against the window, looking at the drizzle outside the window, concentrating on thinking about where to go to find his young master Song Tianzhuo.The next moment the door was opened, but Wang Laosi did not turn around. He thought that the person who came was Gou Mao who had changed his clothes, so he said calmly: "It's just a change of clean clothes. It's not so slow, right?"

The person who entered the room did not respond to him. Wang Laosi felt a little strange. He turned around with a smile and asked, "Why can't you speak even after you changed your clothes?"

The figure got closer and closer, but when Wang Laosi turned his head, what came into his field of vision was not the familiar dog hair, but a strange man wearing a turban.Wang Laosi was horrified, but before he could react, the short knife called "Little Waist" cut his throat, and blood sprayed. Wang Laosi tried his best to speak, but the easiest thing to do was usually , but at this moment it became the most difficult thing. He found that he could not say a word.He collapsed to the ground, and died just like that, with a happy dream.

After Xu Dingzhou killed Wang Laosi, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately walked to the bed and cut the ropes tied to Tian Tao's hands and feet, and then pushed the still unconscious Tian Tao hard.

Tian Tao gradually woke up under Xu Dingzhou's pushing, but her head was not yet clear.She rubbed her head and turned to look at the unfamiliar Xu Dingzhou.The bad memories of her father being beaten and seriously injured on the street and being knocked unconscious and taken away all came to Tian Tao's mind.Tian Tao was very angry, and she didn't know where the fierceness came from, and punched Xu Dingzhou suddenly.

Xu Dingzhou stretched out his left hand to catch Tian Tao's fist, and then immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to save you."

Tian Tao looked at this unimpressive man wearing a hijab and frowned: "Help me?"

Xu Dingzhou nodded: "Do you remember the three men who had dinner at your house at noon?"

Naturally, Tian Tao had a deep memory of Zhang Chuechu, Zheng Baiyu, and Li Jingxiong. She nodded and said, "Remember."

Xu Dingzhou continued: "The one with the double sword is down there delaying us; the one who looks cynical should go find a doctor for your father; and the remaining stupid one is protecting your father and the old man in your restaurant. .”

Tian Tao's pupils were erratic, trying hard to digest the information conveyed by the man in front of her. After a few breaths, she suddenly grabbed Xu Dingzhou and asked: "My dad...how is my dad?"

Xu Dingzhou shook his head: "I don't know yet. The situation was urgent at the time. We were afraid that something would happen to you, so we didn't dare to wait too long, fearing that things might change if we were too late. So we hurried over to save you."

Tian Tao let go of her hands holding Xu Dingzhou's shirt, her eyes lonely.But then she thought about it, instead of adding to her sorrow here, it would be better to go back and take care of her father as soon as possible.So Tian Tao looked at Xu Dingzhou and asked, "Can you take me back now?"

Xu Dingzhou nodded: "Okay, just wait for me here."

After saying that, Xu Dingzhou ran out of the room, leaned on the railing on the second floor, and looked towards the first floor.At this time, the battle on the first floor was extremely fierce. Several corpses were already lying on the ground. However, the siege by the disciples of Zhaixing Tower continued. Zhang Yue fought hard and his whole body was stained red with blood.Xu Dingzhou looked at the tall figure and realized that when he entered the building before, he saw the look in his eyes and went straight to the second floor to save people. He didn't think much about his strength.Although most of the people from the Star Reaching Tower who are fighting with Zhang Yue downstairs are low-level warriors in their early second or even third grade, there are indeed a lot of them. Even if he is standing below now, he may not be able to handle it better than Zhang Yue. The land is more calm.

This solid basic skill, sharp sword attack, and strong Qi.Could it be that the information he had received earlier was wrong? This guy is not a playboy at all, but a real young talent?
No wonder he arranged to go upstairs to save people and stay downstairs to stop the enemy; no wonder Uncle Li gave him the stupid bus...

But the situation was urgent and I had no time to think about this.Xu Dingzhou calmed down and whistled downstairs.

The originally extremely dangerous situation below was interrupted by this whistle. Almost everyone was attracted by this whistle, except Zhang Chuo.He turned his back to Xu Dingzhou and did not turn around. He just raised his left hand and gave a thumbs up. Then he stretched out his index finger and threw it towards the restaurant door. Then he started charging towards the crowd again without stopping for a moment.

Xu Dingzhou understood what he meant. He immediately ran back to the room where Tian Tao was and said to Tian Tao, "Let's leave now."

Tian Tao looked at him and asked: "Is it just the two of us?" Xu Dingzhou walked towards the window. He walked quickly and replied as he walked: "Yes."

Tian Tao saw his actions and stood up and walked towards the window: "What about the young master downstairs? Should we leave him here alone?"

Xu Dingzhou rolled out the window and said without looking at her: "He asked us to leave first. You don't have to worry about him, he will be fine."

Tian Tao stopped talking and followed him out of the window.The second floor of the restaurant is not very high, but for a person like Tian Tao who has no martial arts foundation, jumping off will at least result in the loss of arms and legs.

Xu Dingzhou looked at Tian Tao and said: "I know there is a saying that men and women cannot be intimate, but the situation is urgent now, so I can only offend you more, sister."

Tian Tao has a straightforward temperament. At this time, she is still thinking about her injured father at home, so she doesn't care about the relationship between men and women: "It's okay, it's important to go home."

Xu Dingzhou nodded, turned around and bent his knees, indicating that he would carry Tian Tao downstairs. Naturally, Tian Tao jumped onto Xu Dingzhou's back without any ink.Tian Tao is a northerner woman. She is tall and stands on the ground. She is about the same height as Zhang Yue and slightly taller than Xu Dingzhou.If others saw the scene of Xu Dingzhou carrying Tian Tao on his back, they would find it somewhat... strange.

But the two of them had no time to think much at this time. Xu Dingzhou jumped from the second floor to the first floor with Tian Tao on his back, and then quickly ran towards Tian's wine shop.

In the Tian family's wine shop, Zheng Baiyu, Li Jingxiong and the old man surnamed Tao were guarding Tian Tao's father, Tian Ye.Zheng Baiyu had just asked the local doctor to come over and check. The doctor said that Tian Ye was alive and well, but had suffered some trauma and needed to rest for a while.But it is finally good news for the three of them. The only thing they need to worry about now is Tian Tao's safety.

Waiting is always unbearable. Zheng Baiyu was on pins and needles. He wanted to go out countless times, but because there was no one to guide him and he didn't know where the Star Building was, he had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, Xu Dingzhou didn't keep the three of them waiting for too long. He ran all the way with Tian Tao on his back and finally returned to the wine shop.When the three of them saw Tian Tao and Xu Dingzhou coming in, they were all pleasantly surprised, and their hearts were relieved.

As soon as Tian Tao entered the door, she ran towards her father Tian Ye. Seeing her father sleeping peacefully, she turned to the three of them and asked, "Is my father okay?"

Zheng Baiyu replied: "The doctor said it's nothing serious. He just suffered some trauma and will be fine after resting for a while. Sister Tian Tao, are you injured?"

Tian Tao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Zheng Baiyu and said, "I was not harmed in any way. I, Tian Tao, will never forget the life-saving grace of the three young masters. I still don't know the names of the three young masters and how to call them."

Zheng Baiyu said: "My name is Zheng Baiyu, the one sitting over there is Li Jingxiong, and the one who followed the man at the door to save you is my cousin Li Huizhi."

Tian Tao nodded and said, "I remember."

Then Zheng Baiyu said to Xu Dingzhou standing at the door: "That person standing at the door, what is your name?"

Xu Dingzhou took off his scarf and said, "Xu Dingzhou."

Zheng Baiyu continued to ask: "Where is my cousin named Xu?"

Xu Dingzhou stared at him and replied: "My surname is not Xu, my surname is Xu Ding."

Zheng Baiyu waved his hand. He was not interested in the other person's last name at all. He was just worried about his cousin's safety now: "I don't care what your last name is... let me ask you where is my cousin?"

Xu Dingzhou was quite unhappy with Zheng Baiyu's question that had nothing to do with politeness, and he didn't want to talk to him.Fortunately, Tian Tao spoke: "Master Li asked us to come back first. Master Xu Ding at the door said he should be fine."

Zheng Baiyu glanced at Xu Dingzhou. Although he didn't know the specific situation of his cousin, since the person named Xu Dingzhou said that he was fine as a person present, it should not be a big problem.

So except for Tian Tao who ran to the back room to change into clean clothes, everyone else continued to wait for Zhang Chuo's return with their own moods.

About half an hour later, when Zheng Baiyu saw that Zhang Yue had not returned yet, he couldn't help but stood up and said to Xu Dingzhou: "Xu Dingzhou, can you take me and Da Shitou to find my cousin?"

Xu Dingzhou was also a little worried, so he nodded in agreement.Then Zheng Baiyu said to Li Jingxiong: "I'll leave the big stone to you here. I'm worried about my cousin's condition, so I followed him to have a look." Li Jingxiong nodded and said: "Okay."

Just when Zheng Baiyu was about to leave the restaurant, Tian Tao suddenly grabbed Zheng Baiyu's sleeve.Zheng Baiyu was not prepared for Tian Tao's sudden move and turned to look at the woman who had just escaped.

Tian Tao looked hesitantly at the young man in front of him who seemed to have a crush on her. After a while, he solemnly said: "You must come back safely with Mr. Li."

Zheng Baiyu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry!"

Then Xu Dingzhou took Zheng Baiyu to the restaurant just now.

At this time, the doors and windows of the restaurant were wide open, and the building was unusually quiet. There was no longer the noise during the melee. The only sound of pattering rain outside could be heard, which was completely different from before.

Zheng Baiyu immediately rushed into the restaurant, followed closely by Xu Dingzhou.After entering the restaurant, what they saw was countless broken tables and chairs, and numerous corpses lying on the ground.

The liver and marrow were running wild, it was terrible to see.

Zhang Yue, who they were most worried about, was holding a long knife, and his mask obscured his true face, so his expression could not be seen.He sat on the bench but remained motionless, like a statue, unaware of life or death.

Don't you see Qinghai head, since ancient times no one has collected the bones.New ghosts annoy the wronged old ghosts and cry, and the sky is cloudy and rainy and wet and chirping.

If you want to say it, give it up.I wanted to give it up, but I said it was a cool autumn.
