"Where am I?"

Zhang Chaozhong felt a little dazzling in front of him, but the sunlight passed through the window and landed on his eyelids. When his eyelids moved slightly, Zhang Chaozhong slowly opened his eyes and found that he was in a strange bedroom.

He was not lying down, but lying down, and the injuries behind him were still aching, which immediately reminded him of what happened last night.

"I'm not dead? Did they capture me alive?"

Zhang Chaozhong's face gradually became a little strange.

He forced himself to hold his body up and planned to see through the window to see clearly. In the yard outside, a familiar figure was practicing swordsmanship, if this was considered a sword technique.

"Why didn't Boss Ning die? What's going on?"

Zhang Chaozhong fell into deep thought and couldn't figure out why he could survive in the situation last night, even Ning Qi was alive, and where did the two guys who were chasing him go?

Squeak.

When the door opened, Bei Xiao walked in with a basin of water, placed it at the head of the bed, and said to Zhang Chaozhong: "The master said that the injuries on your back still need to be cleaned, but he said that you can do it yourself. After cleaning it, come out to drink porridge."

After Bei Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left, but after leaving the door, he felt a little strange. Why did that guy look so familiar? He seemed to have seen him somewhere?

Zhang Chaozhong felt this feeling, and he naturally didn't know that Bei Xiao was the beggar he saved from Kuang Yun's hand. The difference between Bei Xiao at that time and now was too big. However, from Bei Xiao's words, Zhang Chaozhong could learn an accurate news that he had indeed survived. Although he had no memory of everything last night, in order to know this, he quickly cleared the wounds, put on the blue cloth shirt that Bei Xiao brought to him and walked into the yard.

.

Bei Meng held her chin and looked at Ning Qi practicing sword boredly. Seeing Zhang Chaozhong coming, a hint of curiosity suddenly appeared in Bei Meng's eyes.

"woke up?"

Ning Qi stood with his sword, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile.

"Um."

Zhang Chaozhong wanted to speak but stopped, so he glanced at Beixiao and Beimeng.

"You two go out to play."

Ning Qi waved his hand.

Beixiao and Beimeng looked at each other and knew that their master had something to say to this guy, so they reluctantly left the yard and went to the store.

After the two left, Zhang Chaozhong bowed to Ning Qi and said, "Boss Ning, I don't know what happened to me last night, why can I live, even you..."

"I don't know very well. After you fainted, they left."

Ning Qidao.

"Um?"

Zhang Chaozhong looked at Ning Qi blankly.

“It’s really dangerous to say…”

Ning Qi sighed.

"This... I'm really sorry, almost causing Boss Ning to fall into danger. Those guys shouldn't let me go easily, I'll leave now."

Zhang Chaozhong's face turned red and he quickly bowed.

When he left, he bowed to Ning Qi solemnly: "Thank you, Boss Ning."

If anyone had seen such a scene, he would probably not dare to keep him here. If Ning Qi stayed, he would naturally thank Ning Qi. As for how he survived, he could only find clues in the future.

In-store.

"Master, who is that guy?"

Bei Meng asked curiously.

Beixiao's ears also stood up.

"You forgot Zhang Chaozhong who saved you?"

Ning Qi smiled.

"Is it him?" Bei Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he felt a little regretful. Zhang Chaozhong was also his savior. To be precise, Zhang Chaozhong directly rescued them. Although it was because of Ning Qi that he took action, he saved it after all. He failed to recognize the other party this time and thanked him.

The meaning made Beixiao regret it.

"You were still young at that time, so it was normal that you didn't remember."

Ning Qi smiled.

He paused, "The iron material is coming quickly. Beixiao went to help me see. The quality of the iron material was a bit low last time. If it was the same as last time, I would tell the third brother not to send it here."

"good."

Bei Xiao nodded and turned around and left the store. Seeing this, Bei Meng said to Ning Qi: "I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he quickly followed Bei Xiao and disappeared on the corner of the street.

Perhaps the third brother's iron material this time was really the same as last time. He didn't deliver it until the evening, and Beixiao and Beimeng didn't come back either.

Ning Qi sat in the store until seven or eight o'clock, and there were no pedestrians on the street, so he slowly closed the store.

In the following days, Beixiao and Beimeng had no news.

"Xiaoqi, the captain here has sent someone to find it. As long as Beixiao and Beimeng are still nearby, they will definitely be able to find it. Don't worry."

Chen A-san walked into the silk shop and headed towards Ning Qi Road.

"Brother Chen, they are already so old. What danger can they have? If you can't come back, you must have been delayed by something."

Ning Qi smiled.

Chen A San was a little strange, Ning Qi didn't seem to be worried about the two little babies at all.

Just like Liningqi persuaded him that Chen Huan would definitely come back on weekdays, she was always so confident. After Beixiao and Beimeng disappeared, Ning Qi lived the same life as usual, and there were not much changes. The only difference was that there were fewer and fewer matchmakers coming to the door to talk about marriage. However, many people brought their children to the door to learn the skills of sword making because of the disappearance of Beixiao and Beimeng.

Ning Qi politely declined using the excuse of his ancestors.

In a blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed.

Twenty years ago, Chen A San was almost seventy years old. After these twenty years, he had passed away and almost became the oldest person in Qingshi Town. His wife Chen was originally more than ten years younger than Chen A San, but he left on the night of last year's winter.

Ning Qi helped the funeral, because Chen A San no longer had the energy to organize the funeral, and the business in the store was basically taken care of by the helper hired by Chen A San. Chen A San was fine, so he stood at the door of the silk shop with a cane and looked at the corner of the street. Most of the shops on this street had changed their bosses, some of whom had inherited their father's business, and some did not do it after retirement, and transferred the store to others, but everyone knew that Chen A San was looking at the corner of the street, waiting for his son to come back. In private, many people would talk about Chen A San's unfilial piety when they were chatting.

The son guessed that the other party might have died outside. Ning Qi has been in Qingshi Town for more than 40 years. When he came, he was in his prime and was in his 18 years old, but now he is in his sixties. In addition to practicing swords for a short time every day, his business has become a half year, and he only starts making swords every six months. Perhaps because of this reason, there are not as many people coming to buy swords as before. Most people have heard that Zhang Chaozhong, one of the four masters, has died in somewhere and has not appeared for more than ten years.
