Immortal sword edge

As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens, and a few stars hang on the dark blue sky.

The bowls and chopsticks on the table were neatly arranged. The simple three dishes and one soup were not very rich, but they were steaming hot and full of aroma.

Mrs. Xu knocked on her crutch hard, and said angrily: "You son of a bitch, you son of a bitch! You know how to roam around all day long, and you don't even know to come back for dinner! Axue, let's eat first, don't wait for him, When he comes back to see how I deal with him, I must starve him!"

Looking at the dark night outside, little Ximen frowned and advised, "Wait a little longer, maybe he will be back soon." With his body, he would definitely not be able to bear a hungry meal, although he often bullied him , but what he maintains most is also him.

Mrs. Xu sighed, and the room fell silent again.

"Bang bang!" The loud knock on the door echoed over the small courtyard, and Mrs. Xu stood up all of a sudden, cursing unceremoniously, "Little bastard, you still have the guts to come back!" Although she scolded fiercely, she still Without stopping at all, he fumbled towards the door.

"Mother-in-law is eating, I'll open the door." Xiao Ximen slipped past her and quickly ran to the yard.

In such a night, with her eyesight, she couldn't see things one meter away at all, and she could only hear everything. There was a "squeak", which was the sound of the wooden courtyard door being opened, and a voice full of air came from the door, "Grandma Xu!"

Mrs. Xu was slightly disappointed in her astonishment. She stood by the door leaning on a cane, her back bent, and her whole body bent deeply, "Why is Mayor Qiao here?"

Then, a series of footsteps came towards this side, among which a woman shouted sharply: "Mrs. Xu, is your little Baoer back?"

Granny Xu's heart tightened, and she said: "It's gone, that little bastard has gone somewhere, and he hasn't come back yet."

"How can this be good, how can this be good..." The woman kept saying, her voice was filled with tears.

Mrs. Xu became even more nervous, her withered hands stretched forward in vain, her cloudy eyes were out of focus, "Aunt Zhang, what happened? Did my kid get into trouble? Mayor Qiao?"

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Zhang had already burst into tears, crying and saying: "It's gone, your little Baoer and my daughter are all gone, and I haven't seen anyone since I found it, woo woo... .”

Mrs. Xu swayed and fell to the ground. Little Ximen had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly passed through several people to help him, but he was only a child after all, and his strength was still weak. Fortunately, Mayor Qiao helped out.

Mayor Qiao helped the old woman sit on the stool, and said comfortingly: "Grandma Xu, don't worry, maybe the two children are just hiding somewhere and playing and forgot the time, or maybe they got lost, not necessarily Something happened, you must take care."

Mrs. Xu trembled her lips and said nothing. Hot tears flowed from her dull eyes and dripped onto the dark table.

Aunt Zhang patted her thigh and howled, "Although my daughter is young, she grew up in Ping'an Town. She can walk through every alley and alley in the town with her eyes closed. How could she get lost! Besides, we I searched everything inside and out, but I didn’t see anyone, so it’s not an accident, so what!”

"Okay!" Mayor Qiao scolded, "Stop saying a few words, don't you think it's not messy enough?"

"What are you talking about!" Aunt Zhang cried bitterly: "I'm just such a girl, if something happens to her, I won't live anymore, woo woo..."

The man who had been silent all this time hugged the crying woman, sighed and said: "Mayor Qiao, forgive me, she was just too worried, our husband and wife are just such a daughter, and we are reluctant to say even a serious word on weekdays." , Now that she is gone, we are really scared..." After speaking, this resolute man also choked up, his eyes were red.

Mayor Qiao pulled off his beard and was about to speak when a clear and clear child's voice suddenly interjected: "What's going on? How did you find out that they don't know each other? Can you tell me what happened?"

Mayor Qiao glanced at Xiao Ximen in surprise. He was indeed a disciple taught by Mr. Ling. Although he was still young, he was not unusual.

Mrs. Xu's half-blind eyes were dull and lifeless, and the tears in her eyes never stopped, and the wrinkled face was full of sorrow and despair that was so thick that it was carved into the bone.

Mayor Qiao felt sore, sighed and said, "Second brother of the Zhang family, tell me."

The man wiped his face heavily, agreed, and said: "My daughter-in-law went out with a group of children in the town at noon, and didn't come back at dinner time. Her mother was worried, so she went out to look for it. I searched around the town and outside the town but found no one, and then I found out that the baby in the town had returned a long time ago. The girl was in a hurry, and asked one by one from house to house, and finally got it from Feng's boy. I heard that my daughter had a quarrel with someone, and she went to the grove in a fit of anger. When they were about to come back in the evening, your little Baoer was a little worried, so she went to find my daughter. They all thought that the two of them had already returned , who knows that there is no one left until now."

"I found a few people and searched in the small woods, but I still couldn't find anyone, so I came to your house to ask, but I didn't expect that Xiao Baoer didn't come back, alas!" Mayor Qiao sighed heavily.

"What can I do! What can I do! Mayor Qiao, you know, I am just such a grandson, he is my life, he is my life!" Mrs. Xu wailed, then rolled her eyes and fainted past.

Panicked, several people quickly hugged the person who fell to the ground, and hurriedly carried her back to the room. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu was only temporarily overwhelmed with grief, and there was nothing serious about it.Mayor Qiao patted the table, and said decisively: "I still don't believe that there is no one to be found. It's just two children. Could it be possible that they can still fly into the sky? Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, don't cry, I will organize the manpower right now. Search through Ping'an Town, and find the two children!"

The three of them walked away in a hurry, and the room was quiet again, but the tranquility and warmth at the beginning were no longer there.

Little Ximen held the old man's dull and withered hand, with a solemn expression, and the depth in his black stone-like eyes that no one could understand, was hardly the look that a ten-year-old child should have.

This night, for the people of Ping'an Town, it was destined to be restless. Except for the old and the weak, women and children, all active men in the town were organized by Mayor Qiao, who turned the town inside and outside the town with a torch. But still did not find half of the two children's clothes.

When it was dawn, everyone had black eye sockets, and Aunt Zhang was hoarse from crying. The whole person was almost hugged by her own man to prevent her from being limp on the ground.

Everyone's footsteps were very heavy, and the search all night failed. Anyone with a brain knows that something must have happened, but they don't know whether the child is alive or dead.

Mayor Qiao ran around all night, his old face was even more tired, and his straight back was slightly curved.

After returning to the town, he did not go home immediately, but led a few people to Xu's house.Mrs. Xu collapsed all of a sudden, and there was a ten-year-old child at home, and it happened that Mr. Ling was not there, so he was really worried, so he asked some older women in the town to take care of him.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu has woken up, but she can't get up, her wrinkled old face is numb, and tears are streaming down her face. It seems that all vitality has been taken away, which makes people feel sour and worried.

The child with a cold face held her hand and stood upright, silently.

Mayor Qiao sighed and said, "Don't worry, take care of yourself. Although no one was found, it's not a bad thing. At least the two children must still be alive."

"Old mayor, don't you have any news at all?" A woman said with a worried face.

"In and out of the whole town, we searched even every mouse hole. We wanted to see people and dead bodies, but we didn't find the slightest trace of the two children. The most likely possibility is that they are no longer in Ping'an Town. "

"Ah?! Could it be that he was abducted by traffickers?"

Mayor Qiao shook his head, and said solemnly: "Not only the traffickers, but don't forget that there are also those bandits from Baoxian Mountain. They are even more suspect."

The women were dumbfounded. For all the people in Ping'an Town, the bandits in Baoxian Mountain were extremely lethal. After all, the tragedy of the Xu family couple seven years ago was a lingering nightmare for everyone in the town.

"This, this is impossible, aren't they only snatching pedestrians passing by? Why are they abducting children again?"

Mayor Qiao snorted coldly, his eyes turned red, "Those gangsters dared to openly kill people seven years ago, what else would they not dare to do?"

Granny Xu's muddy eyes suddenly became brighter, and she said tremblingly: "Bandits, Baoxian mountain bandits..."

Mayor Qiao bent down and comforted him: "Don't worry, I have already arranged manpower, and when the sky is bright, I will go to the county seat to sue the officials. Here it is, to avenge your son and daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Xu took the mayor's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandson, I don't want revenge, don't take revenge...I want my grandson, my grandson..."

Mayor Qiao's eyes were slightly wet, and he patted the back of her hand and said, "Okay, I will help you find your grandson and bring him back safely. Don't worry, take good care of yourself!"

Several women were also holding the corners of their clothes and weeping together, the atmosphere in the room was extremely desolate.

Although the master bedroom is the bedroom of Ling Xiao and Xiao Ximen, there is no trace of Ling Xiao's life here, and everything in the room is added according to Xiao Ximen's needs.

Under the dim candlelight, a brush dipped in ink wrote the last word on the snow-white rice paper. Xiao Ximen put down the pen, picked up the rice paper and blew gently, then folded it and put it in the envelope.

He carried the small cloth bag on his back, tied the white jade-colored dagger around his waist, blew out the candle and walked out with a whoosh.

At this time, the sky was already bright, a golden-red halo loomed in the sky, the sun was about to rise, and soon it would be a new day.

As the breeze blew, the mighty white wolf leaped over with a whoosh, its haughty head slightly lowered, and it was coquettishly rubbing against the child's soft body with a sweet fragrance.

Little Ximen stroked its white fur, walked to Mrs. Xu's door, and stuffed the envelope through the crack of the door.

The small body stood up straight, like a sharp sword with a faint sharpness, and the cold little face was expressionless, with an air of arrogance that no one could see through.

He took a last deep look at the closed door, turned and left with White Wolf without looking back.
