Little Li's Flying Dagger c22

Zhang Sheng Qi lies on his sofa, looking at the pot over the fire, brewing bird soup.

It抯 snowing outside again, but inside it抯 warm as the Spring.

He closed his eyes, wanting to take a nap. Suddenly, he heard a noise, as the pot rolled over and broke.

Shocked, he opened his eyes, a man in black appeared in front of him. No one knows where he came from.

Although Zhang Sheng Qi has retired for a while now, his kung fu is still in top shape, yelling loudly, 揚athetic little robber. How dare you come to my place!�

As he spoke, he got into fighting position, about to attack this man in black.

At this moment, a light appeared in front of him.

Zhang Sheng Qi did not see where it came from, or even what kind of weapon he used. Only that five blood marks appeared on his chest.

The Plum Flower Bandit has reappeared!

At tea parlors, bars, everyone talked about this among themselves.

Who抯 his next target?

*Note: Mt. Song is the mountain where Shaolin抯 located. Nan Yang抯 a city, but I have no idea where.

Xiao Jing抯 footsteps are also light, not making a noise as he touches the ground, yet just as he entered the courtyard, Reverend Xin Hu in the abbot抯 room yelled, 揥ho is it?�

Xiao Jing stopped outside, bent over, and said, 揝tudent Xiao Jing, I have something to report.�

There are only three people in the abbot抯 room. Xin Hu, Xin Jian, and Bai Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Jin doesn抰 dare to say too much useless stuffs. As he entered the room, he bowed again and said, 揟he Plum Flower Bandit has reappeared!�

Xiao Jing continued, 揟hree days ago, the former bandit Zhang Sheng Qi was suddenly killed, his valuables stolen. The only marks on his body is are blood marks of a plum on his chest.�

Xin Jian and Bai Xiao Sheng looked at each other, both looked extremely pale.

After who knows how long, Xian Hu sighed. 揘ow that the Plum Flower Bandit has reappeared, maybe Li Xun Huan wasn抰 lying after all.�

Bai Xiao Sheng looked at Xin Jian, did not speak.

Xin Jian walked slowly to the window, looking at the snow outside. 揃ut this might also proved that Li Xun Huan IS the Plum Flower Bandit!�

Xin Hu said, 揚lease explain.�

Xin Jian said, 揑f I were the Plum Flower Bandit, knowing someone is going to die for me, I抎 stay low for a while. Otherwise, wouldn抰 I have just saved Li Xun Huan?�

Bai Xiao Sheng nodded. 揧ou抮e right. The only reason for the Plum Flower Bandit to appear now is to clear Li Xun Huan of all crimes. If I were the Plum Flower Bandit, I would also never do this.�

Xin Hu said, 揑n that case, what are your suggestions?�

Xin Jian said, 揑f Li Xun Huan isn抰 the real Plum Flower Bandit, then his associates wouldn抰 be doing this for him.�

Xin Hu also stood up and walked over to the window. 揥ho抯 guarding Li Xun Huan right now?�

Xin Jian said, 揑t抯 second brother抯 students Yi Rui and Yi Chen.�

Xin Hu said, 揟ell them to come here.�

Mixed Vegetables Pot

Cooked Centerless Vegetable

In addition to the 4 dishes and one soup, he also wanted 1.5 kg of high quality Zhu Ye Qing(type of wine), as if Shaolin temple is a high quality Capital City vegetarian resturant.

No matter who sees this list wouldn抰 know whether to laugh of cry. But Xin Hu simply said calmly, 揓ust do as he says.�

Xin Jian immediately said, 揃ig brother you...�

Xin Hu cut him off, 揑f Li Xun Huan doesn抰 eat, neither can fifth brother. His health has been deteriorating the past year or so. He doesn抰 have the stamina to go without food for too long.�

Xin Jian looked at th floor. 揃ut if we do this, then wouldn抰 it prove that Li Xun Huan is controlling us?�

Xin Hu抯 eyes sparkled. 揑 already have a plan. So who cares if he gets his way for a couple of days.�

Ah Fei lied on the bed.

It抯 been four hours. He just lied there, not moving, as if his whole body turned into a stone.�

He simply waits.

Because by not moving, he can save his energy. He needs energy to get food, and need food to survive, to combat nature.

Several times, even the most cunning wild rabbits thought he was just a stone. Once, he was so weak and hungry he had no energy left. If that wild rabbits didn抰 jump on top of him, he might抳e died of hunger.

Another time he played dead for two days before a wild dog came to him.

This type of patience and endurance is not a natural talent, it came only after countless practice.

At first, he抯 not very good at it. He can抰 help but shrivel himself up. But now, he doesn抰 feel anything anymore. As long as he feels that there抯 no need to move, he won抰 move an inch.

When Lin Xian Er came back, she though he抯 already asleep.

Her clothing today is quite strange, a plain grey cloth, covering all parts of her body.

She went to get some information, and had gone for four hours.

As Ah Fei suddenly sat up, which really scared her. But then she smiled, 揝o you抮e just pretending to be asleep, wanting to scare me?�

Li Xian Er combed her hair, then bit her lips. 揧ou don抰 like me?�

Ah Fei shook his head.

Lin Xian Er innocently looked at him, then went over and kissed his cheeks. 揧ou抮e so good.�

Ah Fei stood up, and asked, 揧ou have news?�

She shook her head. 揝haolin has always been very cautious on matters. They must observe for a long time before taking action. They抎 rather not do something than to do something wrong.�

Ah Fei said, 揃ut it抯 been six days.�

Lin Xian Er said, 揗aybe they don抰 believe that the Plum Flower Bandit killed Zhang Sheng Qi, because the Plum Flower Bandit always does a string of crimes, not just one at a time.�

Ah Fei thought for a long time, then said, 揃ut they抣l have to believe sooner or later. I抣l make them believe.�

Lin Xian Er said, 揅ome with me. I抣l show you a place.�

揥here?�

揧our second victim.�

It抯 nighttime. The snow has melted. Their clothing has been changed, so no one noticed them.

Lin Xian Er suddenly pointed at the sign of a pawn shop. This is a big pawn shop, with a big sign that says 慡hen Ji Pawn Shop�.

Ah Fei said, 揥hat抯 so special about this sign?�

Lin Xian Er did not respond, only pointed at another sign on a restaurant. 揕ook at this one.�

This restaurant抯 business is very good. Both floors are full of customers. The sign says 慡heng Ji Restaurant�.

Actually, every five or six shops on this street seems to have the 慡hen Ji� name. And they all seem to have great business.

Lin Xian Er said, 揂ll these are opened by Third Brother Shen.�

Ah Fei said, 揘ow where are we going?�

揥hy?�
