When to kill and how to kill, Zhu Da did not answer, nor did they discuss it. After saying that, the two of them quietly watched the fire burning, adding firewood, grass and coal from time to time, waiting for the old man to burn to ashes.

After cooling a little, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun gathered the burned ashes and put them into the clay pot. They kowtowed a few times to the incinerator place before they got on the horse and left. Perhaps something was wrong. Yuan Biao's mount was restless and mournful. After it was completely incinerated, it became quiet.

After returning to the village, I found that an elder in charge was waiting outside the village. The first one to meet Zhu Da’s father Zhu Shitou.

"Xiao Da, should you do a ritual? You can't let Master Yuan go like this." For those who grew up in the hinterland of Datong and have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire, it is difficult for them to understand this kind of treatment and practice of taking life and death indifferently, and they always feel that they should do it according to the rules.

"Dad, we are going to do this. Master Yuan's spirit in heaven must be annoyed. Do it according to his last wish!" Zhu Da replied calmly.

Zhu Shitou frowned and was about to say something again, Deng Kai, who was rushing to the side, grabbed him, shook his head and said, "You are not used to it. Many people in the army do this, don't compete."

"Dad, I'll go back with Qingyun today. Everything is as usual here, and there is no need to mess with any memorial rituals." Zhu Da was not in the mood to explain more.

At this point, no one was arguing. Zhu Shitou and Li Zongqi left tightly, going to prepare for the things they took for Zhu Da. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not urge him, but instead followed everyone to Hebian New Village.

Not long after, under the escort of Deng Kai and another strong man, Zhu Shitou walked out with a bag. He looked cautious. No one knew that the bag was not an ordinary thing, and some people speculated whether it was gold, silver, jewelry, etc. inside.

"Son, I'll give you all the money. I've earned it this month. You must be careful on the way." Zhu Shitou reminded him worriedly. Perhaps because of his mood, his voice was quite loud, and everyone heard it.

Zhu Da nodded and took the bag. He glanced around. Many people paid attention to this place. There were strangers, acquaintances, some were curious, some were not very natural, and some were talking in a low voice. Zhu Da could guess what he said. It was just that the new village by the river had made a lot of money, or why was he careless in doing things? Don’t you know that if you don’t show off your money, you will cause trouble? Some people even showed a greedy look naked. There is no law in rural areas and towns, and this money must be obtained by those who can do it...

The reason for this is to prevent people from attacking Baibao Village. After it flourished, it naturally became a fat person in the eyes of all forces. The forces on the surface were checked and balanced, but it was difficult to prevent those who wanted to attack secretly, especially those desperate people who did not follow the rules. Zhu Da used the method to take the money away openly, and it was difficult for people to catch the rules.

If you block the road and rob money or gather people to loot, you must find rules or make sure that the money is there. This makes many people difficult to deal with. It is not that you have not followed Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, but the outcome is often bad. If there are fewer people, you will be killed, and if there are too many people, you will not be able to keep up.

Put the money in the bag, and the horses were already full. Before getting on the horse, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun carefully checked the saddle and bridle and weapons. Zhou Qingyun even carefully counted the arrow branches. When doing these, both of them were a little sad because these were all skills taught by Yuan Biao.

The jar of the ashes was carefully wrapped and a hay pad was added. Then it was placed on the horse. The residual heat of the ashes had not yet dissipated. I felt this warmth, and I felt really complicated.

"Dad, uncles, I'll go back to Zheng's family first, don't worry about anything. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. I have already understood this principle."

After saying this, Zhu Da immediately clasped his fists and left, while Zhou Qingyun had a gloomy face and no movement. When they rode away, Zhu Da's father and everyone around him looked at each other. What Zhu Da said just now made everyone a little surprised. It shouldn't be what a person of this age said, but it was so natural.

"How old have you seen through life and death? I'm afraid I haven't even touched a girl." Deng Kai curled his lips and said, but after he finished speaking, he shook his head and said in a lower voice: "Did you kill too many people?"

"Old Deng, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing, I'm muttering."

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not run wildly, but they did not jog like normal business trips, and they did not even run in the same direction. The two stopped from time to time, and even turned to the path on the side of the road. If they were seen, they would only feel that the two teenagers were playing and making trouble. But if someone followed behind them, they would be exposed in the circle. The road on the official road was naturally safe. Those paths were all familiar to Zhu Da and the others. If they followed them rashly, they would only be plotted.

However, this kind of irregular withdrawal is difficult to judge and follow. No one follows this time. After walking a long way, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun rushed on the official road. The war was dense in the sky, but the business trips on the official road were very calm, and few people even went to see it. Over the years, everyone has become accustomed to it. The Mongolian tribes are invading the border, which is also the north side of the wall. Occasionally, there are small groups of people who dare not go deeper. If they are frightened again, they will not do business and live a life. Why not pay attention to it?

"It's really annoying." Zhou Qingyun glanced at the beacon in the sky and said in a muffled voice. Zhu Da knew that his partner was not upset about this.

It was already a little late when we left Baibao Village. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not go straight to Zheng Family Museum, but took a little by little and went to a cart shop next to the official road. This was the stronghold of Shengping Salt Stage back then. After all, the Yang family and Qin Xiucai did not turn against each other on the surface. Some resources can still be used interoperably. Moreover, there are fundamental rules in this place. If you live here, you don’t worry about being plotted. Of course, you should be careful.

I have already become familiar with the roads when I came here, and the room was long-sold. It was a wood-room next to the warehouse. It was better to be secluded and safe, and there was a way out to go.

After entering the house, according to Yuan Biao's experience, he first checked the places he should check, such as confirming whether anyone had come through secret notes, such as checking for any holes on the wall, and then prying open the two bricks under the bed. The two bricks were hollowed out, with some gold and silver jewelry wrapped in oil paper, which were all seized during hunting. Many spoils were not concentrated in one place and would be stored separately. This is one of the strongholds.

"Did your master think about today that most of the existences in various places have been taken out?" Zhou Qingyun said while sorting out gold and silver.

Zhu Da was silent for a moment before answering, "I would die early when I thought about it, but I didn't expect it was today."

After eating the cakes and pickles I carried with me, it was already dark. Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not fall asleep together, but instead were on duty. According to his own judgment, it would be rotated for about one and a half hours. This would make people very tired, but it was very safe. It was related to life and death. It would be comforting behind. This was also Yuan Biao's teaching. If you don't rest in a place that you feel completely at ease, you must stay alert and not relax.

However, Deng Kai and Xu San were also dissatisfied with Yuan Biao's request, saying that it was only possible to use it when doing it on the grassland at night and running around in a mess. It would be a bit too much to observe such strict rules in the hinterland.

Zhu Da asked Zhou Qingyun to sleep first. He picked up the knife and sat at the door. His left hand slowly slid past the knife handle to the scabbard. Zhu Da had already formed a habit. This slow and monotonous action was his timing unit. After counting it, Zhu Da would change shifts with Zhou Qingyun.

After the lights were blown out, the room was very quiet. After nightfall, there were no guests coming to the inn on the roadside, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Only the cries of beasts and owls could be heard.

Both of them breathe very long and smoothly, and it is difficult to hear clearly in a slightly noisy environment, but Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are very sensitive, and similar sounds will be discovered soon. They are already very familiar with each other. When they hear this breathing rhythm, they know that Zhou Qingyun is not asleep.

"Zhu Da, I have seen Zheng Yong many times. The lower plate is very stable and I must understand martial arts." After a moment of silence, Zhou Qingyun spoke.

"Old Zheng hired a famous teacher for his son. Zheng Yong himself experienced many battle scenes, not weak hands." Zhu Da replied. Compared to people close to him, he knew more about all kinds of people around him. Zhu Da was also interested in news that others thought was insignificant. As the leading figure of Zheng Jiaji, he knew more.

Zhou Qingyun on the kang was quiet for a while and said in a depressed voice: "Why did he do so ruthlessly? I saw the body of the murdered woman once, and her whole body was torn to pieces. It looked like she had been gnawed by a wolf, and her flesh was much less. Why did the demons and beasts not expect it to be human?"

"He is not a human, he is a beast!" Zhu Da had also seen the tragic scene described by Zhou Qingyun. Of course, he didn't believe it was a monster, and he felt that wild beasts could not do this. But he was a little lucky in his heart. He thought that some beasts such as wolves or leopards would do this. He was not familiar with it, but he didn't expect that it was really done by humans, and it was so close to him. Thinking of Zheng Yong's help and appease the family of the victims, Zhu Da felt chill all over. Some people could be so cruel. The so-called "human-faced and beastly heart" is really real!

The two of them couldn't calm down. After experiencing those things in the day, how could they be quiet? But the two of them didn't know how to express their nostalgia for Yuan Biao. They were too close to each other, which made people at a loss.
