Chapter 42 Broken Promise
"Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."
Xigou missed these words very much.
To be honest, he did once flirt with a rich woman and felt the charm of a mature woman.
Hmm, endless aftertaste~~
Of course, he refused to admit defeat and shouted: "You know nothing, why do you have to work hard when you can win lying down? Fang Zhixing, you have been working hard all your life. I'm different. I can still do it lying down." win!"
Fang Zhixing dismissed it.
It is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself. Your destiny should be in your own hands.
Winning is not really winning, it is just taking advantage of the winner.
It was noon in a blink of an eye.
One person and one dog walked out of the Cheng family compound and went out to eat.
"Young man, please stay."
As soon as they walked out of the alley, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came up to them.
Fang Zhixing looked at the other person carefully. He had a big belly and well-dressed clothes. He was definitely not a beggar.
"Uncle, is something wrong?" he asked.
The middle-aged man waved and said, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal and let's chat."
Fang Zhixing showed a vigilant expression and said: "I don't know you. I don't dare to go to dinner with you. What if you blackmail me?"
The middle-aged man spread his hands and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I just want to ask you something. Come on, I'll take you to have a good meal."
Fang Zhixing was still timid and did not dare to go. He stretched out his hand and said, "You can give me money."
Seeing this, the middle-aged man took out ten large coins from his pocket and put it in Fang Zhixing's hand, and asked, "You are Master Cheng's apprentice, right? You live in the Cheng family compound, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.
The middle-aged man asked: "Did you see Mr. Cheng yesterday? Where has he been?"
Fang Zhixing was suddenly startled and hesitated: "I, I can't reveal the secrets of Master Cheng, otherwise I will be beaten."
The middle-aged man immediately took out another ten big coins and stuffed them into Fang Zhixing's hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay. If you don't tell yourself, who knows you leaked it, right?"
Fang Zhixing lowered his head, as if he thought about it, and replied: "Yesterday, Master Cheng stayed at home and also went out."
The middle-aged uncle asked: "Is he at home that evening?"
Fang Zhixing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "In the evening, um, I don't know exactly. I went out to eat at that time."
The middle-aged uncle looked disappointed and asked: "Then, have you ever heard Master Cheng mention Uncle Chen?"
"Uncle Chen..."
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "I seem to have mentioned it several times."
"Oh, what did he say?" The middle-aged uncle suddenly became excited.
Fang Zhixing replied vaguely: "He said that Uncle Chen is Lord Rabbit. I don't understand what that means. Why is he called Lord Rabbit?"
The middle-aged uncle's expression was slightly stiff. He patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and said seriously: "You know this and I know it. Don't tell anyone, especially Master Cheng. Do you understand?"
Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.
The middle-aged uncle turned away and blended into the pedestrians on the street.
Xigou watched and asked in surprise: "Who is this person? Why are you asking about Cheng Tianen's whereabouts?"
Fang Zhixing was also very curious, so he sent a message: "Let's follow him and have a look."
One man and one dog followed him slowly.
With the thin dog around, it is impossible to follow the scent and lose it.
About half an hour later, the middle-aged man entered a large courtyard with two stone lions at the door.
Fang Zhixing looked up and saw two large gold-lacquered characters written on the hanging plaque. He didn't recognize them.
So, he stopped a passerby and asked about the owner of the house.
"Wocao, I'm sorry this is the Chen family!"
Xigou was speechless and wondered: "The Chen family is investigating Cheng Tianen, what do you mean?"
Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, then suddenly trembled, his expression turned playful, and he pondered: "Could it be that the Chen family suspects that the person who killed Chen Yusheng is Cheng Tianen?"
“(⊙o⊙)…”
Xigou was stunned, never expecting that things would develop in this direction.
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was reasonable.
He said: "Chen Yusheng is a great python realm warrior. Looking at the entire Xiaoqinghe market town, the only person who has the strength to kill him is indeed Cheng Tianen. Haha, no wonder the Chen family suspects that he is the murderer!"
Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed.
Seeing this, Xigou asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you want to tell Cheng Tianen about this?"
Fang Zhixing shook his head and said: "Don't be anxious, just wait and see what happens."
In this way, day by day passed.
Cheng Tianen stayed at home all day long, practicing and recuperating every day. His body recovered better and better, and the muscles on his body increased visibly.
Cheng Tianxi went out early and came back late, wondering what he was busy with.
In a flash it was seven days later.
That morning, Fang Zhixing felt that the time had come. He walked up to Cheng Tianen and said, "My hero, I have cultivated the first level of Tieshan Kung to perfection. Do you think you can teach me the second level?"
Cheng Tianen raised his eyebrows. He had been focusing on his own recovery these days, but he didn't pay much attention to Fang Zhixing's practice progress. He asked, "How is it? Have you awakened any explosive skills?"
Fang Zhixing replied truthfully: "Yes, it's called Tieshanbo."
"Tieshanbo, it's this explosive skill!"
Hearing this, Cheng Tianen was neither surprised nor happy, and said calmly: "Tieshan Kou is one of the common explosive techniques, but to be honest, this explosive technique is relatively common and has a greater disadvantage in actual combat."
Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "For explosive skills of the same level, are there any advantages or disadvantages?"
"certainly!"
Cheng Tianen said carefully: "Although there are many kinds of explosive skills, the scenes where we use explosive skills are mostly involved in battles. If an explosive skill cannot effectively kill the enemy in actual combat, it is worthless. of."
"The iron mountain support is only suitable for close combat, and you must ensure that you can entangle the enemy before you have a chance to confront the opponent."
"If you encounter those warriors who are faster and more flexible, your iron mountain support will have no use at all."
After hearing these words, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but think deeply.
Then he said: "Thank you for the reminder, hero, and please teach me the subsequent techniques."
Cheng Tianen paused for a moment and replied: "Let's talk about it in a few days. I am currently in a critical period of recovery and cannot be distracted."
Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, I'll be fine if I wait a few more days."
So, this wait lasted seven days.
Fang Zhixing went to Cheng Tianen again, but was rejected by him again.
The reason is still the same. He is recovering and cannot teach him.
Fang Zhixing returned to the room, his face already gloomy.
Xigou was surprised and asked: "What does Cheng Tianen mean? Why does he refuse to teach you?"
Fang Zhixing glanced outside the door and saw Cheng Tianxi coming out, sitting under the eaves, and talking to Cheng Tianen.
"Small dog, go and eavesdrop." Fang Zhixing said.
The thin dog slipped out in a hurry.
The next moment, he heard Cheng Tianxi ask: "Brother, why don't you teach him? Didn't you say that he is a martial arts wizard?"
Cheng Tianen sighed: "It's not that I don't want to teach him, but I want to observe his character more. I always feel that this kid is a bit..."
