Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

In August of the 19th year of Yuanxi, the summer was scorching, and Zhiming was tired.

At this time, Lin Zhen will be sixteen in four months, Xiao Ling will be fourteen in mid-August, and Qin Yun is two years younger than Xiao Ling.

Has been in the village for six years.The disciples under Lin Wu's sect live in peace, and they still live the days of practicing kung fu in the morning and practicing art in the evening.

But on this day, senior brother Lin Zhen came out of Lin Wu's room with a solemn expression.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Xiao Ling, who had been waiting outside for a long time, stood up from the railing, worried.

Lin Zhen sighed: "The third uncle passed away."

Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, he had heard about Lin Xiang, the third uncle who didn't live in the village, it was said that he was a romantic, wandering around Huajie and Liuxiang all day long, not a good thing.He asked: "What's going on?"

Lin Zhen was a little hesitant, as if it was hard to say, "Well... Master said it was... Hualiu disease..."

Xiao Ling understood, but he was much calmer than the elder Lin Zhen, he said with a smile: "karma!"

"A Ling, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Zhen dragged Xiao Ling a few steps away from Lin Wu's room door, a little reproached.

Xiao Ling: "Who doesn't know about the Third Master Uncle? The trouble with Hua Liu is also his own fault."

"It's fine if you talk to me like that, don't say it in front of Grand Master's door, you know?"

Xiao Ling also didn't find the appearance of Lin Zhen's mother-in-law annoying, but found it very interesting.He lazily replied: "Understood. Senior brother, do we still have to arrange the funeral of senior uncle?"

Lin Zhen shook her head: "Uncle Master broke up with the Zhuang Li several years ago, and it was because of this illness... But Uncle Shi seemed to have a child before he was alive, and Master planned to take him to the Zhuang Li."

Xiao Ling chuckled: "Child? Who is the mother?"

Lin Zhen said in a low voice: "It seems to be the top card of some building. I grew up in a brothel when I was a child. After the top card died, it was sent to my uncle's house. I don't know who it is."

"Tsk tsk." She was really merciful.

"Anyway, this kid is so pitiful." Lin Zhen looked sincerely, "We will treat him well when he comes."

Xiao Ling didn't take this matter to heart at all, in his opinion, that child is a little bastard from a brothel, a generation of ants, can he share Lin Zhen's love with him?

However, the facts proved that Xiao Ling was wrong.

When Lin Zixi came, Lin Zhen had already taken a nap and was practicing sword in the yard.Lin Zhen and Xiao Ling were together, sitting on the railing, waving a cattail fan, watching Lin Zhen's upper body naked, dripping with sweat.

After finishing a set of sword skills, Lin Zhen stopped to wipe his sweat, when he heard an old man's voice: "Is Master Lin Ci there?"

Both looked towards the door, and saw an old grandfather and a child standing at the door. The child was about eleven or twelve years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of watery eyes. He was born very delicately, just like a porcelain doll. .He stared blankly at Lin Zhen who was a head taller than him, as if dumbfounded.

Seeing that the other party was looking for Grand Master, Lin Zhen asked, "Grand Master is taking a lunch break in the room, but Master got up and is in the study. Are you..."

The old man made a bow, "Little master, this old servant is Lord Lin Xiang's servant, and he brought my young master here."

Lin Zhen just remembered this, looked at the timid Lin Zixi, and asked softly, "What's the name of the younger brother?"

"Zixi..." Lin Zixi's voice was soft and gentle, like a little girl, "My name is Lin Zixi..."

The tenderness in Lin Zhen's heart was like water poured on the ground, "Zixi, I am Lin Zhen, and I will be your elder brother from now on. Don't be afraid, I will take you to find Master right now."

Lin Zixi's eyes were bright, and when he smiled, his eyebrows were curved, his cheeks had two dimples, and his long eyelashes fluttered like a fan.

When Xiao Ling saw Lin Zhen being so gentle towards Lin Zixi at first, he was already very displeased, but in the end, this displeasure directly turned into jealousy.

Because Lin Zhen said, "Zixi, you look so good-looking."

When Lin Zixi came to Linjiazhuang, he thought it was just a group of fellow students, but unexpectedly brought about many changes.

Xiao Ling has a eccentric personality, no one gets close to him except Lin Zhen, and Lin Zixi is not only good-looking, but also gentle and well-behaved, which is loved by many people.Lin Zixi had just entered the village for two months, and the senior brothers were gloating about "Xiao Ling has fallen out of favor, and now Senior Brother Lin likes Junior Brother Zixi the most."

One time when Xiao Ling was eating, he heard someone speak loudly, his eyes became sharp instantly, he threw the bowl and chopsticks, and gave that person a vicious look.

The disciples under Lin Wu's school seem to be in peace with each other, but in fact, there have been conflicts for a long time, and the biggest conflict is Xiao Ling and the other brothers-I am afraid that the only ones who don't know about this matter are Lin Ci, Lin Wu and Lin Zhen .It's not that Xiao Ling is so domineering, as long as you don't mess with him, he will never recruit you. To be precise, he ignores you and ignores your existence, but if you are considered by him as wanting to replace him in Lin Zhen If you don't have the position next to you, then he will target you in every possible way.

Qin Yun has a deep understanding.When he was six years old, he was sent to the Lin Family Village by his widowed mother who was about to remarry. He was lonely and full of the pain of being abandoned by his mother. Fortunately, Senior Brother Lin comforted him and he was able to walk out of the shadows.However, he provoked Xiao Ling for some reason, and every time he was with senior brother Lin, he could see a look of anger on Xiao Ling's face, and then he frequently found fault in life, and even suffered pain in a competition between the masters. The killer almost killed him, and then threatened him not to get any closer to Lin Zhen.

So the day Xiao Ling threw the bowl, he stood in the corner, saw all this, and secretly worried for Lin Zixi.

In fact, Lin Zixi is not as docile and pleasant as outsiders see, at least towards Xiao Ling, he is full of hostility.Although he was polite and courteous to Senior Brother Xiao in front of people, as if he was being slaughtered by Xiao Ling, but behind people he blatantly provoked Xiao Ling, ridiculing him.

Everyone has their own true colors, which are often revealed when faced with their own loathing.

Just like Xiao Ling seems indifferent and doesn't care about everything, but in fact he tries every means to torment those who are close to Lin Zhen.

Obviously, Lin Zixi was more difficult to deal with than everyone Xiao Ling had dealt with before.Naturally, Lin Zhen still shared the same room with Xiao Ling, but Lin Zixi came to Lin Zhen every day, bringing the snacks he made in the kitchen, and would prepare one for Xiao Ling every time, but it was just for show.

Sensitive as Xiao Ling, he can see that this junior is not ordinary to Lin Zhen, different from the admiration of other juniors, Lin Zixi's flattery towards Lin Zhen is more like admiration.

When Lin Zhen praised him for his good cooking skills, he would lower his head shyly, and his whole face would turn red;

When Lin Zhen was busy and couldn't take care of him at any time, he would show a sad look in his eyes, and then wait outside the room for Lin Zhen to come back;

When Lin Zhen was practicing, he was watching from a distance, his eyes were shining brightly—just like Xiao Ling himself.

Xiao Ling gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had nothing to do with Lin Zixi.Although Lin Zhen still treats him unchanged, Lin Zixi always makes him uncomfortable.

Finally one day, he saw that old man getting drunk in a shop by the side of the street. He was so old, drank like mud, babbling about something, he could only hear him calling Lin Zixi by his baby name.

"Huaner... Huaner..."

Xiao Ling had a premonition that there was something hidden about this matter, so he helped to pay for the drink, sat down, and chatted with the old man intermittently, unexpectedly, it revealed Lin Zixi's amazing past.

"Did Uncle Third love Junior Brother Zixi very much?" Xiao Ling asked a random question out of boredom.

Unexpectedly, the old man burst into tears, tears filling the gaps in his face, "Lin Xiang... he is not human!"

Xiao Ling was taken aback, the old man was the servant of his uncle, he always called himself an old slave, but he didn't expect to call his former master by his name when he was drunk today, which shows his dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with Lin Xiang? Is he treating Junior Brother Zixi badly?"

"Lin Xiang...he...he owes a whole lot of debt! Eat! Drink! Whoring! Gambling! He owes a whole lot of debt!" The old man suddenly became emotional and choked up. Unable to bear it, the voice lowered, "What a crime... Huan'er has such a father, what a crime..."

"How did you pay off the debt?"

The old man was trembling all over, weeping uncontrollably: "That bastard Lin Xiang...sold Huan'er to...sold to...that old man Cheng Guocheng...do...do...do..." I couldn't continue, and looked up again. He took a swig of wine.

Cheng Guocheng is a wealthy businessman in Qicheng, already in his fifties, it is said that he is fond of good-looking boys, and his family has taken in four or five molesters.

Xiao Ling was startled, and vaguely guessed what Lin Xiang did to sell Lin Zixi to Cheng Guocheng.

"If Huan'er hadn't escaped...I just...just found it...Huaner...Huaner he...Master Cheng wouldn't let Huaner go...a crime—"

The old man's voice was drawn out, gradually becoming lonely, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his body fell down on the table.

Xiao Ling felt for the old man's pulse, he was already dead.

Standing up, leaving a piece of silver behind, he walked to the store and said calmly, "Use the money on the table to buy him a coffin."

Before the shopkeeper could react, Xiao Ling's figure disappeared in the crowd.

Three days later, Cheng Guocheng, a wealthy businessman, came to visit Linjiazhuang. Lin Zhen and Xiao Ling led the way for him. During the period, they passed by the lobby and happened to meet Lin Zixi who was working.

Lin Zixi's smiling face froze when he looked at Lin Zhen, and his whole face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.He threw down the broom, at a loss, and just stood there.

Cheng Guocheng's face was filled with joy in an instant, and he smiled obscenely. He stepped forward and threw himself into a hug: "My baby, you are so naughty, why did you come here?"

"Let go of me—!" Lin Zixi screamed, her voice was out of tune, and it sounded particularly shrill.

Cheng Guocheng's greasy face got closer and closer, and he kissed Lin Zixi directly on the cheek: "If you run away next time, I'll tie you to the bed."

Lin Zixi yelled, which alarmed many people to watch, Lin Zhen hurried up to hold Cheng Guocheng.

The lobby of Linjiazhuang was in chaos for a while, and Lin Wu also came out to make a rescue.

Only Xiao Ling stood quietly at the entrance of the lobby, with neither sadness nor joy on his face, watching with cold eyes.

What a scoundrel Cheng Guocheng was, when he talked about his wretched affairs, his face wouldn't blush and his heart wouldn't beat, and with a few words, he exposed Lin Zixi's old background.All the brothers were shocked, and looked at Zixi with complicated and unpredictable eyes.In the end, Lin Wu came forward to coordinate the matter and protect Lin Zixi.

Lin Zixi's heart was ashamed, and he looked at Lin Zhen quietly.

Lin Zhen will never forget the despair in his eyes at that time, all pride was shattered.

But Lin Zhen was also really shocked, and couldn't calm down, and couldn't say anything to comfort her, so she was ordered by her master to send Master Cheng out.

It was Qin Yun who sent Lin Zixi back to his room in the end.

Zixi was speechless all the way, his face was pale, and he was in a daze, until when Qin Yun turned to leave, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's Xiao Ling."

Qin Yun didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say, Junior Brother?"

"Xiao Ling did it, it must be him..." Lin Zixi's eyes were empty, but his words were extremely firm. He grinned miserably, "He is so cruel...Senior brother Lin must be disappointed in me..."

Qin Yun comforted: "Junior Brother, don't think too much, rest well, everything will be fine."

I don't know if Lin Zixi listened, but he turned around and walked into the room with desperate steps.

The next day, Lin Zixi was found hanged in the house.

The teacher was shocked, no one would have thought that a little junior who is usually so well-behaved and weak would be so strong and strong.

Seven days later, Lin Zixi was buried.

Lin Zhen was dressed in plain clothes, standing in front of Lin Zixi's former room, looking at the sky, a little haggard.

"Brother." Xiao Ling stood under the steps and called Lin Zhen.

Only then did Lin Zhen turn her gaze to Xiao Ling, but it was unprecedentedly cold, which made Xiao Ling's heart ache.

"Senior brother." Xiao Ling couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and walked up the steps, wanting to grab Lin Zhen's hand.

"Pa——" Lin Zhen smashed the pile of papers in his hand towards Xiao Ling.

Lin Zhen said coldly: "Xiao Ling, I don't want to see you." After finishing speaking, he ignored Xiao Ling who was stunned in place, and walked away.

This was the first time Lin Zhen called him by his first and last name.

From then on, that hearty man no longer called himself A Ling gently.

Xiao Ling picked up the pile of papers, and when he saw clearly that this was the letter he had written to Cheng Guocheng, he knelt down on the steps stiffly, with an unprecedented panic on his face, he couldn't believe that he couldn't make up for one Lin Zixi has only been here for two years!

It seems that the whole world is collapsing.
