The two had a full meal, and most of the seven or eight dishes on the table were settled.Yu Lie stopped his chopsticks and watched Jing Zhao eat.

"What do you think brother Zibin will do in the future? I really want to break up with brother Shi Yi..." Jing Zhao hadn't finished speaking when there was a loud bang outside the door.

As if some giant object had been smashed against the door, Jing Zhao subconsciously felt that the quality of the door was not bad.

Yu Lie exchanged glances with him, got up and went to open the door.I saw a little boy crooked at the door, dressed in ragged clothes, obviously he hit the door.

Soon someone came over and grabbed the boy rudely, apologizing: "You two are really sorry, our wild boy is ignorant, ran around and bumped into you, the shop will pay for it here."

Yu Lie glanced at the boy huddled behind the store, and felt that there was something weird about it, but he couldn't put it into words.

He was about to go back to continue eating, but he saw Jing Zhao stepping forward, ignoring other people's resistance, pulling the boy over, and rolling up the boy's sleeves in public, his arms were covered with scars from the beating.

The weather was very cold in winter, and the boy wore so many clothes that he could cover his injuries tightly.Xu Shi has been abused like this for many years, and the scars on it are all dark in color.

"Your Excellency, what are you doing?" The shopkeeper's expression was obviously not good, he stepped forward and said gloomily.

The boy looked to be eight or nine years old, and he didn't struggle when Jing Zhao grabbed his wrist, looking like he was being slaughtered.

Jing Zhao said coldly: "This child is not your own, it is probably bought."

"This is my private matter, please don't worry about it." At this moment, it has been exposed, and the two thugs behind the store are about to come forward to snatch him.

Although Yu Lie didn't know why Jing Zhao was so angry for no reason, it was not difficult to save a child. According to his usual temperament, he should be smooth-tongued and then paid off with silver, and he would never make such a fuss to the point of conflicting with others.

He stood beside Jing Zhao, and said to the shopkeeper, "You abused children, and are you still trying to bring them back?"

The store owner was furious: "I told you it's a family matter! This is my store, are you just robbing other people's children in broad daylight?"

Jing Zhao shook the boy's hand, lowered his head and asked him, "You can tell yourself, do you want us to take you away?"

The boy looked at Jing Zhao with clear eyes and nodded.

Jing Zhao raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper, "Did you see it?"

The shopkeeper pointed at the boy and yelled, "You white-eyed wolf! See if I don't deal with you, come on!"

Each of Yu Lie and Jing Zhao subdued the two thugs with a flick of their fingers.

Jing Zhao said disdainfully, "With this little ability, what should I do?"

The shopkeeper looked at this and that, they were all the people with the highest martial arts in his shop, "Hey, my lord! Cheng Chengcheng, you can take them away if you like, they are clumsy and weak, they are useless! "

"Don't worry about it." Jing Zhao took the boy back to the private room, Yu Lie also followed in, and slammed the door behind him.

The boy was suddenly in a quiet and comfortable environment, a little nervous.Jing Zhao poured him a cup of tea, "Drink some tea first, and you can eat whatever is on this table... What's your name?"

The boy's voice was still very immature, trembling, "They bought me from the traffickers, but the shopkeeper doesn't like me, and usually just calls me a cheap name."

After hearing this, Yu Lie felt that the child was very pitiful, "You don't remember the name your parents gave you, do you?"

The boy shook his head, "I don't remember."

Yu Lie looked at Jing Zhao, and saw that there was a complicated look in his eyes, which he had never seen before, but what was on his mind?

Jing Zhao touched the boy's head and said with a smile, "Then brother, can I get you one?"

"Okay!" Hearing that he could have a new name, the boy nodded happily and replied happily.

"Hmm..." Jing Zhao turned his head and began to think, he looked outside for a while, and then at Yu Lie for a while, murmuring for a long time, but couldn't come up with a result.

Yu Lie ate some food, "There's no ink in my stomach, did you remember the name?"

"Hush!" Jing Zhao squinted and feigned anger, "Ah! I know!"

He turned his head and patted the boy on the shoulder, "Let's call it Fengsheng, which means life in a desperate situation. From now on, everything will be fine."

"Fengsheng..." the boy repeated several times, and said with a smile, "Thank you brother."

"Well, good boy." Jing Zhao also looked at him with a smile, then stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hands, and moved the rice bowl in front of him, "Eat, Brother Jing Zhao invited you."

With a move of Yu Lie's fingers, the chopsticks touched the edge of the bowl and made a jingling sound, "Did you lie to the child in broad daylight?"

"Don't expose me." Jing Zhao curled his lips, "Fengsheng, don't talk to him from now on, this brother Yulie is a bad guy, he comes out wearing a white mask at night to scare children."

Yu Lie smiled and watched him making funny faces to tease Fengsheng. After playing with each other for a long time, Fengsheng giggled loudly.

Jing Zhao just came back and ate a few more mouthfuls, looked up and saw Yu Lie staring at him, and replied casually, "Am I good-looking?"

Yu Lie chuckled, and looked away at Feng Sheng, "How do you plan to deal with this child in the future?"

"Find him a reliable family, or find an errand that can support himself and be self-sufficient."

"Aren't you afraid of running into someone with a human face and a beast's heart again?"

Jing Zhao frowned and thought for a while, "Then... tell him that he can come to me anytime if something happens."

Yu Lie: "When it comes to errands, I think of a place to go. He goes to Jiang Yu's shop, and he should be able to work as an errand boy."

"Why do you miss her again?" Jing Zhao dragged his voice dissatisfied, and propped his chin angrily, "I just don't want Fengsheng to have anything to do with Pofeng."

Yu Lie raised his hand and rubbed his head, "What's the matter, just forget it if you don't like it."

Jing Zhao closed his eyes and raised his head again, and said flatly, "Do you know why I can accurately see that he was being abused? Because I saw my shadow in him."

Yu Lie was surprised, and his heart skipped a beat: "You mean...someone has bullied you like this before?"

Seeing Jing Zhao nodding his head, he lowered his head and said nothing, Yu Lie glanced at Feng Sheng who was sleeping soundly, he couldn't imagine Jing Zhao being bullied and beaten when he was young, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.

Yu Lie pursed his lips, took a deep breath restrained, and said softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Jing Zhao blinked and looked straight at him, not understanding what he was talking about, how long ago it was.

"Not on the body, but on the heart." Yu Lie said.

Jing Zhao smiled, adults speak differently, "Sometimes I have nightmares, and I go back to that time repeatedly..."

Yu Lie frowned, "Where are those beasts? I'll kill them."

"I've killed them all."

Jing Zhao said in a deep voice, his thoughts seemed to return to that night.Looking at Yu Lie, he had the courage to uncover the wound that he was reluctant to expose.

"When I was 11 years old, it was the leader of the pavilion who rescued me from the tiger's mouth. He threw me into the Pofengtang, and I learned some kung fu from other people, and I also started to practice. In two years, I was promoted to the second level of Jinxuan Realm. "

"When I was 13 years old, I went back and bloodbathed that teahouse, killing... seven or eight people," Jing Zhao said, his voice tense, "I don't remember clearly."

"It's okay, if you don't remember clearly, then don't remember clearly." Yu Lie said hastily.

Jing Zhao once told him that if it was not a last resort, he would rather hide that part of the past forever than reveal it.

He looked like a wounded animal now, licking his wounds.Those round eyes were filled with water, and they bent towards Yu Lie, making him shake his head.

Jing Zhao said with a smile: "It's over, I rarely have nightmares now. Well... this is your credit."

Yu Lie blinked, puzzled.It's more about being intoxicated in the eyes of the other party, unable to concentrate on thinking.

"Because I dream of you every day now!" Jing Zhao grinned.

After spending such a long time with Yu Lie, Jing Zhao also gradually realized that under his indifferent appearance, there is actually a heart that likes to escape—willing to fate, committing to the orders of his adoptive father, including feeling that he is not worthy of being accepted. he likes.

"You don't even know how good you are."

Yu Lie was slightly moved, not knowing that he was so important to Jing Zhao.Jing Zhao has already come out of the nightmare memories, how can he not get out of the predicament.

To tell the truth, the reasons for the composition of this predicament are also some ignorant excuses.

He has never seen clearly a hole in the predicament like now, the hole is so deep that it cannot be repaired or turned back.

Now I just want to hug Jing Zhao, even... kiss him, thank him for waiting where he is and not leaving.

The knock on the door interrupted Yu Lie's thoughts, the door was opened, and Liao Zibin's voice came: "Jing Zhao, Yu Lie, we are coming down."

The two of them parted their gazes at the same time, and turned to the door together.

Jing Zhao welcomed them with a smile, "Quick, come and sit."

"Thank you." Liao Zibin returned Yu Lie's clothes to him, then sat down, "Why do you have an extra child?"

"They were rescued." Jing Zhao briefly explained, and Liao Zibin was filled with righteous indignation, and praised them for doing a good job.

Liao Zibin winked, and Fan Shiyi immediately took out a heavy purse and put it on the table, "This is your expenses these days, don't worry about it."

Jing Zhao stretched out his hand to touch, "Is there too much?"

"It should be, you take it." Fan Shiyi said, "I still feel that these are missing."

Jing Zhao pointed at Yu Lie, "Don't be so polite, his family is rich."

Fan Shiyi and Liao Zibin also knew it well at this moment, they knew that Jing Zhao stayed at Yu Lie's house during the holidays, and it was not unusual for there to be countless merchants and eunuchs in Fengqing City.

To say that the official is as big as Fan Fuming, it would be strange for his son to enter the palace as a bodyguard.

"Take it." Yu Lie nodded to Jing Zhao, and Jing Zhao put it in his pocket very smoothly.
