It was almost noon, and many people were already storming with smoke. Lin Chong rode the thin horse and slowly came back. He pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard, led the horse in, and tied it to the horse shed. The yard was not big, and a locust tree occupied one-third of the yard. Under the shade of the tree, there was a stone bench, stone table, and several fallen leaves were laid on it.

Lin Chong carried the basket and pushed open the wooden door in the hall. Under a gap, a black shadow sat inside and turned his back to him. He hesitated and alertly floated on Lin Chong's face. He lowered the basket gently and reached out to touch the hoe that was leaning not far away. The black shadow inside suddenly moved, turned his face sideways, as if he had already discovered the person outside the house.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't see your teacher's figure anymore?"

"Master..." Lin Chong expressed his surprise expression, slowly pushed open the door, raised his feet and walked in a few steps, and saw the familiar back pouring tea and drinking, "Master, how did you know... I'm not dead."

Putting down the teacup, Zhou Tong turned around, his eyes full of care. He smiled and walked over and patted Lin Chong on the shoulder with his arms strongly, "It's fine...you...you're suffering."

Lin Chong's nose was sore and his eyes were slightly red. He knelt down in front of the old man, his voice choked, "Master... it was Lin Chong who made you shame." Then, he kowtowed.

A boot was stretched out and separated in the middle. Zhou Tong helped him up, "I have been competing for fame and fortune for half my life, and I have been determined to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I have commanded thousands of troops, and finally I have a false position. So I have no idea what face is. When you were in trouble, you didn't know about it. When you knew it, you have already gone to Liangshan. In this way, are you blamed for your teacher?"

"Disciple... How can you blame the master? It's because the disciple is useless." Lin Chong shook his head, the past seemed to be hard to describe.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Tong seemed to be unwilling to mention it again, so he pulled him down. The two chatted for a long time. In his words, he tried his best to use a reassuring tone, hoping that Lin Chong would come out of Zhang Zhenniang's figure and find a new life.

However, his enlightenment did not play the role as scheduled. Lin Chong stared at the empty teacup and choked and said, "Zhen Niang died for Lin Chong's chastity. If Lin Chong let it go, it would be a huge problem. Every day I would go to Zhen Niang's grave, talk for a while, and make some food. Even if the disciples knew that to outsiders, they looked like a madman and a fool, but I just wanted to talk to her. I had never said anything before, Lin Chong told her, even if she could no longer hear it..."

The sad and sad words echoed in the small room. The dignified man cried bitterly, rubbing his hair, "Disciple... is so bitter in his heart."

"It's hard... I know that you are in pain." Even though Zhou Tong has experienced so many storms, he can't help but feel sad when he sees his beloved apprentice crying like a child.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Lin Chong gradually stopped and wiped away his tears, "Master laughed... Today, Master comes over, Lin Chong should make a meal for Master."

As he said that, he went to the earth stove next to him and made a fire to cook.

Seeing the smoke rising and Lin Chong who was washing rice, Zhou Tongping recovered and said to him: "Are you now a coach at the Dongjishi Factory?"

Lin Chong froze for a moment, continued to rub the rice grains, without saying a word, just nodded. Zhou Tong sighed and said, "The East Factory is too heavy and it is not a good job. I want to advise you not to stay there again, okay?"

"Master..." Lin Chong stopped and hesitated for a moment. He said, "I used to listen to you in everything I said, but Lin Chong would make a decision once. The Admiral of Dongchang avenged his bloody revenge for his disciples and allowed his disciples to have a new job. He could walk in the world openly. This kind of kindness cannot be paid by the disciples."

He continued, "You are often said that you should be grateful for your kindness. Now my disciples are doing it according to your teachings. Besides, you can sweep the graves and talk for Zhenniang every day... The disciples are already satisfied."

"But the Dongchang is actually doing something that is angry and resentful." Zhou Tong's voice was raised, and then he stood up, "Disaster relief, the people of the villages and villages around Liangshan kill the ministers in the court. What are you doing with such a yamen?"

Lin Chong continued to dig the rice, and the voice came.

"Disciples will still stay there. Master is not inside and do not know the real situation, so it is inconvenient for them to say more. However, when the disciple teaches every day, I originally hated those eunuchs who came out of the palace. But when they see them practicing what their disciples teach very carefully, no matter how wind and rain, they never stopped, the disciple softened and asked one of the eunuchs who came out of the palace why they worked so hard. The man said: He wants to be a man with integrity, not want to be disliked, not want to be killed like an animal, he wants to earn a life and live."

"So, the disciples don't want to leave anymore, and they don't want to look at them with their original gaze."

Lin Chong looked at Zhou Tong with a tough tone, "Everyone says how hateful the eunuchs are, but first of all, they are the same person."

The sun was getting thick outside, and when we walked into the house, the two of us reflected.

His words were loud and loud, and he raised his head on the other side and sighed deeply.

Zhou Tong turned around and left, "My teacher faintly touched the threshold to reach the level of a master, so he had already left the imperial boxing gym to teach and prepare to walk around the world tomorrow. Look, I originally wanted you to walk with you, but now it seems that you have found the way you want to go, so let's go forward boldly. Master is watching you behind you. If you do evil, Zhou Tong will be the first to kill you."

He walked to the threshold and turned around, "The East Factory is unpopular. There is already a rumor in the world. They have already started preparing. Perhaps your Dong Factory Admiral also knows that you should do it yourself."

Lin Chong chased after him, looked at Zhou Tong's back, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to say goodbye. From beginning to end, neither of them said a word.

It was still bright outside. Zhou Tong walked to the street for some reason and looked at the bustling people coming and going, stood in his foot for a moment, and felt depressed, angry, and suddenly roared.

"Get out of your mother's world."

People who have passed by turn their heads to look at him.

Like an old lunatic.

………

In the palace, a place where the sun cannot shine.

In the corner, a group of eunuchs pushed an eunuch who had just entered the palace and pushed an eaves under the eaves. The leader smiled gloomyly, regardless of the other party's begging for mercy, took out a silver-handled knife from his arms.

"Jinzhong, I have never offended you all. Please let the young one go. If you have any filial piety, the young one will do whatever you need to be filial to you." Li Jinzhong looked at the cold knife and was so scared that he collapsed on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

The eunuch holding the knife sneered, squatted down, shaved the blade on his face, "We don't dare to ask for your filial piety, because someone above can't stand you."

Immediately, the eunuch scolded: "Hold him down, Eunuch Cao said that this person was castrated by himself outside, and he might not be clean. Let us clean him again."

Then, seven or eight strong eunuchs pressed Li Jinzhong down, took off their palace robe and exposed their lower body. The eunuch holding the knife glanced at him and sneered: "It's really not castrated. You know, this is a death sentence. Come on, let's help you."

The cold knife cut it down, Li Jinzhong glared and screamed heart-wrenchingly.

The guards around him heard the sound, looked at it, then shrank back, and stood back to their posts, as if nothing had happened.

With a puff, Li Jinzhong fell to the ground, lay in blood, watching his feet crossing the top of his head and leaving.

He gasped, gritted his teeth, and rubbed the things that fell from his crotch.
