September Eagle Flies (1): The Down-and-Out in the Jianghu

September Eagle Flies—The Fallen in the Jianghu

The narrow ancient path was dense with forest, and the clatter of horse hooves kicked up trails of dust.\
He crouched behind a woman with a fragrance as soft and wandering as flowing clouds, riding swiftly, his clothes fluttering, while a cluster of glinting blades thrown far behind gradually faded into the wind.\
If it weren't for this woman of flowing, cloud-like fragrance, he would probably have already died under the blade of that scar-faced foe.\
But the trap set by his enemy had made him suffer greatly. His right hand, famed across the world for its swordplay, was severed at the wrist tendons by that enemy. His life was spared, but his right hand was nearly crippled, leaving him with a lifelong regret.\
Who would deny it? If it were an ordinary person, one would just have to accept fate. But for a renowned swordsman of the Jianghu, to end up with a ruined right hand, how tragic was that?\
But later, where did that woman go? In his memory, it was all a blur.\
He sighed sadly, examining the shocking scar on his right wrist, his heart even more sorrowful.\
Is it despair? Is it hopelessness? Or…\
Even he didn't know. The days fluttered by like butterflies between his fingers, and what remained in memories was not necessarily the fragrant-haired woman.\
Yet he clearly remembered that after he was seriously injured, he leapt across rooftops, but broke through a tile and fell, landing directly into a woman's bathing tub. Hearing her panicked scream, he painfully jumped out, not even having time to apologize before fleeing. Far away, he heard her high-pitched voice shout: 'You filthy rascal, where do you think you're going? If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!'\
But then, how was he later saved by a horseback-riding woman?\
'Xiao Ke, what are you thinking?'\A clear, melodious voice broke his memory, and before him appeared two smiling faces.\
The two were siblings, a brother and sister; the guy was named Chen Chong, the girl Chen Juan.\
In the 'Tianlong Gang,' these two siblings were his best friends, while everyone else didn't call him by his given name and was used to calling him Xiao Ke.\
He was the younger brother of Ke Longfei, the leader of the 'Tianlong Gang,' and could also be said to be the second-in-command of the gang today.\
Upon seeing them, Xiao Ke smiled: 'Come on, I was just worrying that I had no one to have a drink with.'"Pavilion, fine wine.\ Originally, this should have been a very happy occasion, but this is the place where Xiao Ke flows with loneliness.\ Chen Chong sat down across the table from him. Chen Juan smiled, her little dimples on her face always pure and beautiful, and softly said, 'You… are thinking about that girl named Xinyue again?'\ Xiao Ke chuckled lightly and poured wine for them, saying, 'Not at all.'\ Though he said that, the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.\ Chen Chong raised his glass and said, 'Xiao Ke, as the second-in-command of our gang, you should be powerful, commanding, and able to call the shots...'\ Somehow he had brought up such an awkward topic.\ Chen Juan glared at him, and he immediately stopped speaking.\ Xiao Ke gave a wry smile and said, 'Brother, don't make fun of me. I'm afraid being the second-in-command isn't very impressive at all!'\ Chen Chong said, 'Are you still angry with the gang leader's wife? She's your sister-in-law. Stop arguing with her!'\ Xiao Ke sighed and stayed silent.\ Chen Chong added, 'But then again, she humiliated you in front of so many people, and your older brother didn't even say a word. I would be furious if I were you!'\ Chen Juan smiled gently and said softly, 'Xiao Ke, don't think too much. After all, we're family. There isn't that much hatred, right?'\ Xiao Ke said, 'Right, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on! Drinks!'\ One cup of wine finished, the intoxication gradually increasing. Perhaps it isn't the wine that intoxicates, but the heart itself is already drunk!\ Chen Chong smiled as he filled Xiao Ke's cup and said, 'This wine is strong and flavorful. Come, let one drink relieve a thousand worries, another cup!'\ Xiao Ke held his cup and said, 'You didn't used to like drinking, so why today...'\ Chen Chong's eyes sparkled, full of warmth, and he said with a smile, 'With a good friend like you, Xiao Ke, I Chen Chong naturally have no choice but to drink along!'\ The two exchanged smiles, and the scent of wine grew even stronger.\ Chen Chong clicked his lips and said, 'Xiao Ke, is your right hand still able to wield a blade after two years? I really hope your unrivaled swordsmanship, the "September Eagle Soars", can once again appear in the world!'\ Xiao Ke's face tensed, and he put down his cup, saying sadly, 'Now this hand can't even lift a bucket of water. I'm practically useless—what right hand sword are you talking about!'\ Chen Juan said, 'Xiao Ke, don't lose heart. If the right hand can't, you still have your left hand!'"Chen Chong also sighed and said, 'Are you still holding a grudge against your sister-in-law? So what if she calls you useless? You are still your Xiao Ke, the indomitable Xiao Ke, right?'

Xiao Ke took a long, hard sip of his wine.

Chen Chong said, 'Maybe she just scolded you without meaning to? You know, when someone is arguing, they are in a bad mood, and what they say naturally wounds others.'

Xiao Ke did not speak further and lay face down on the table, falling asleep.

A cup of unfinished wine was knocked over by him, spilling across the table and dripping to the floor.

Chen Chong looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and let out a deep sigh, saying, 'Drunk, can it really make you forget your troubles?'

Chen Juan's eyes rippled, and she murmured lightly with complaint, 'I hope when you wake up, you will never have so much sorrow again...'

Outside the window, the night sky sparkled with a few faint stars. A gentle breeze blew in, and the light flickered and struggled, as if trying to follow the wind.

When Xiao Ke woke up, he felt dizzy as if his head would split, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and thought, 'Who said getting drunk can ease a thousand worries? It only adds more chaos...'

The scene from a few days ago surged in his mind like a tidal wave, overflowing and overwhelming, filling him with sorrow.

He did not know why, over some trivial matter, the wife of the Tianglong Gang leader—his sister-in-law Liu Jinfeng—took the opportunity to exaggerate, tearfully accusing Xiao Ke in front of his eldest brother Ke Longfei of being disrespectful to her. Then, she viciously said, 'A cat without claws can still be cute and meow a few times. But you, a clawless useless person, what can you do? If it were me, I would have long smashed my head against the wall to avoid this shame...'

Xiao Ke felt bitter and aggrieved, tears streaming down his face, but Ke Longfei snorted coldly, 'Stop it, no more embarrassment here...' followed by a long, deep sigh, distant and lingering.

Thinking back now, it is still hard to let go. His heart aches, and tears once again roll down. Looking at the cold, lonely night sky, Xiao Ke sighed softly and thought secretly, 'A man should not shed tears lightly, so why am I always so fragile? Back then, I helped my brother establish the Tianglong Gang, going through countless hardships. Now it has risen in strength, reputed as the richest gang in the Jianghu. If I could step away now and live my own life, that would not be impossible.'Firstly, it would not seriously affect my elder brother's career, and secondly, it would prevent further discord between uncle and aunt, avoiding estranging the brotherly bond.”\ Thinking this way, Xiao Ke felt his mood relax considerably, much more at ease, and then got up to push the door and walk outside.\ Walking aimlessly along the winding corridor, immersed in the cool night, everything around was blurry, which only added a bit of unease.\ This huge Tianlong Gang headquarters, solid as a fortress, was usually bustling and prosperous, but at night, it was serene and elegant—what fear could there really be?\ The thin chill of the night inexplicably brought a hint of eeriness, and Xiao Ke could not help but shiver.\ Suddenly, not far off in a flower bush, a human figure swept past like the wind. Xiao Ke just happened to see it and quickly hid.\ He saw the shadow moving lightly and carefully along a path, seemingly very familiar with the place. After turning a courtyard, it arrived in front of a row of luxurious rooms.\ This was none other than the bedrooms of Ke Longfei and Liu Jinfeng. Who was this person who could find their way here?\ Xiao Ke's heart tightened, thinking silently: “My elder brother went out yesterday and won't return until tomorrow. This person is definitely not my brother, yet sneaking here—what are they up to?”\ While pondering, the figure in black glanced around before gently pushing open the door and slipping in like a ghost.\ It was already deep into the night. Liu Jinfeng was sleeping alone; how could the door have been left open?\ Xiao Ke was puzzled. After a moment, seeing no movement inside the room, he felt something was strange. Gently, with caution, he inched closer, hesitating whether to knock and ask.\ A strange person sneaks into Liu Jinfeng's room in the dead of night, yet there's no sound. Could Liu Jinfeng be asleep so deeply that he had fallen victim to this thief?\ Alarmed, Xiao Ke was just about to knock and shout when he suddenly heard a rush of wind behind him, startling him. Before he could dodge, there was a “bang” behind his head. A heavy blow struck him, his world spinning, and he collapsed unconscious.\ How long passed, he did not know. Xiao Ke felt another pain over his head with a “bang” and woke up in shock, letting out an involuntary cry: “Who hit me?”Opening his eyes, he saw that the surroundings were brightly lit, yet he found himself disheveled and lying on top of a woman in pajamas—and this woman was none other than his sister-in-law, Liu Jinfeng.\ Xiao Ke was utterly shocked, his mouth agape, his face pale with fear. He looked at the crying Liu Jinfeng and stammered, "Th-this… what… is going on…"\ An elderly voice, strained with anger, said, "Xiao Ke! You… you… how could you commit such a wrongful act!"\ When Xiao Ke turned around, he saw several people standing behind him, all with stern looks. The one speaking was Long Bo, usually the kindest to him. Long Bo held a wooden stick in his hand, clearly the cause of the pain on Xiao Ke's head—it was evident Long Bo had hit him.\ Another person said, "Th-this… what exactly happened?" The question came from Xue Yintian, the third-in-command of the Tianlong Gang and Xiao Ke's sworn brother, who seemed equally confused and had obviously rushed over upon hearing the commotion.\ Long Bo stomped his foot and sighed, his expression gloomy, but he did not speak.\ Xue Yintian glanced at Xiao Ke, immediately understanding the situation. His face changed, and he repeatedly stomped his feet, complaining bitterly, saying, "This… this is terrible. Xiao Ke… you, sigh! What am I supposed to say?"\ Xiao Ke was at a loss for words, and said, "Brother Xue, it's not… like that…"\ However, Xue Yintian ignored him, stepped forward to persuade Liu Jinfeng to stop crying, and finally, with a dark expression, he addressed everyone: "Tonight's incident is very serious. Fortunately, no concrete facts were established, but it is still disgraceful. Everyone present must not disclose this to anyone, otherwise, there will be severe punishment. The remaining matters will be dealt with when the gang leader returns tomorrow. That's all for now. Everyone, go back and rest!"\ Saying this, he called Long Bo to stay, while the others left the room.\ Xiao Ke felt a surge of confusion in his heart. He knew he had been framed but was helpless. He felt increasingly cold inside and thought, "I was knocked out at the door; someone must have tried to set me up by placing me on Liu Jinfeng, which caused her to wake up and scream. When Long Bo and the others rushed over, seeing this scene, they were naturally shocked and angry, so they didn't hold back and hit me on the head, which ironically woke me up…"\ Indeed, what Long Bo said matched what Xiao Ke was thinking, only he, of course, knew nothing about the black-clothed man's involvement.Xue Yintian listened and frowned deeply, sighing, “Xiao Ke, I don't know what you are thinking, but after all, she is your sister-in-law. Sigh! Things have reached this point, it's already irreversible, but no matter what, Long Bo and I will definitely plead for you tomorrow…”

Long Bo sighed, “I heard that you drank a lot during the day, is that true?”

Xiao Ke nodded, saying nothing. He knew that regarding the fact of catching someone in the act, no explanation would make any difference.

Long Bo said, “That's it, the so-called alcohol can cloud one's judgment. No wonder I called you at that time and you didn't respond, just dazed and immobile. So I got anxious and hit you with a stick. I wonder, why would you, as a kid, drink so much?”

Suddenly, outside the window, it became unusually dark. A chill spread through the shadows, and Xiao Ke felt as if ice had seeped into his heart, shivering in the cold.

The flowers scattered on the ground withered hastily in the dark corners of the night.

The next day, Ke Longfei's rage was predictable. His face turned bright red, and he jumped angrily like a tiger. Several witnesses froze like wooden statues, not daring to breathe.

Xiao Ke didn't say much in explanation because he knew that no matter what he said, no one would believe him. Just as Long Bo said, alcohol can cloud judgment. Moreover, Xiao Ke had quarreled with Liu Jinfeng the day before yesterday. Who could guarantee he wouldn't take advantage of drinking to seek revenge?

In fact, he already knew in his heart who had harmed him. No matter how much he explained, this person wouldn't let him off.

In the end, according to the gang's first rule: those who disgrace women shall be killed without pardon!

Ke Longfei looked at Xiao Ke, his eyes full of emotional entanglement. After a long silence, he uttered a sentence, “The prince breaks the law, the common people are punished alike!”

What he meant, of course, was: as the leader of this gang, I must abide by the law; even if you are my brother, I cannot pervert justice to shield you.

After saying this, he suddenly coughed violently a few times, as if in deep inner anguish.

Xue Yintian, however, couldn't hold back, saying, “Leader, I think he must not be killed!”

Ke Longfei raised his head and stared at him, “Why?”

Xue Yintian said, “This matter concerns the reputation of our gang. If we execute the second-in-command, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and investigation, providing meddlesome people with an excuse and likely leading to numerous hypothetical situations detrimental to the gang's reputation.”"Moreover, this matter concerns the lady's honor, so I think it can be punished privately, but it is not necessary to execute Second Master!"

Long Bo said, "Leader, Second Master has indeed made considerable contributions to our gang, which everyone can clearly see. So it's a matter of balancing achievements against faults. But this time the situation is serious, and none of us wanted it to happen. Since you, Leader, can act impartially, both morally and reasonably, I also think it is the right approach. However, as Second Master said, this matter does concern the reputation of our gang and the Leader, so it must be handled with caution. I do have a suggestion, though — I wonder if the Leader is willing to hear it?"

Ke Longfei stopped and said, "Go ahead!"

Long Bo said slowly, "Although the gang rules and discipline should not be taken lightly, considering the bigger picture, fortunately, currently only a few of us know about this matter. We can refrain from killing as punishment, but we cannot avoid punishment entirely. Therefore, I believe it might be better to let Second Master voluntarily leave the gang. In that case, I think it could be more beneficial for both sides..."

Xue Yintian said, "This method is wonderful, combining both benevolence and justice. That way, the matter won't spread, the gang's reputation remains intact, and Second Master will be treated most appropriately. We will have nothing to object to. Leader, please consider this carefully!"

The others quickly agreed.

Ke Longfei pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone is deliberately pleading on his behalf, we will follow your suggestion and let him voluntarily leave the gang tomorrow. But all of this was caused entirely by my unworthy younger brother, and I apologize to everyone for the inconvenience!" Saying this, he clasped his fists in a bow, showing sincere intent, which surprised everyone and they reciprocated respectfully.

Finally, Ke Longfei whispered to Xue Yintian, "The fewer people who know about this, the better. As for those who shouldn't exist, just handle them as you see fit!"

His words carried deep meaning, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

Xue Yintian exhaled sharply and nodded, "Understood!"

Thus, the few so-called eyewitnesses disappeared from this world forever that very night.

Lying in bed, young Ke felt as if his mind were in a tangle and thought, "That person in black is so familiar with this place, he must be someone from our gang. But who could he be? And yet he tried to help her set me up. Now everyone thinks I am utterly wicked. What is even more unexpected is that my brother doesn't trust me either. Sigh, how tragic!"I have devoted so much effort to the Tianlong Gang, and now I have ended up like this!”

Xiao Ke felt a wave of desolation in his heart and couldn't help feeling deeply saddened.

Outside the window, a full moon shone in the sky, and a few night hawks were circling high above. A few sorrowful cries, carried by the cold moonlight, drifted through the window, bringing a sense of loneliness that spread across the floor.

Suddenly, a few gentle knocks came at the door, followed by a tender voice saying, “Xiao Ke…”

It was Chen Juan, her face full of smiles, warm and serene like the moon.

There was no light inside the room. Xiao Ke turned over and sat up, smiling faintly: “Why are you here so late?”

Chen Juan softly said, “Isn't it all for you, Xiao Ke? I heard from my brother that they won't kill you, they just… they just want you to leave the Tianlong Gang.”

Xiao Ke sighed deeply and remained silent. He looked at her face for a long while before asking, “Xiao Juan, do you believe in me?”

Chen Juan said, “I do!”

Her eyes shone in the darkness. Suddenly, she grabbed Xiao Ke's hand and said, “Xiao Ke, I… I…”

Warmth filled Xiao Ke's heart as he said, “Thank you for believing in me!”

Finally, Chen Juan couldn't hold back and tears streamed down her face: “Xiao Ke, I can't bear to be without you. Why don't you take me with you tomorrow?”

Suddenly, she threw herself into Xiao Ke's arms and cried.

Xiao Ke shook his head with a sigh: “Xiao Juan, don't cry…”

But Chen Juan cried even harder, like pear blossoms falling in the night rain.

Xiao Ke's face turned pale as he gently held her trembling body, still silent.

The moonlight remained, and the night breeze quietly passed by.

The next day, before leaving, Xiao Ke went to see Ke Longfei: “Brother, do you really think I would do such a thing?”

Ke Longfei's face showed pain, but he didn't answer.

Looking at his face, Xiao Ke felt a chill in his heart and overwhelming sadness, but his expression showed nothing: “Brother, I know I've wronged you. I've embarrassed you. Now I'm leaving, and I might never return. Take care of yourself!”

Turning away, tears streamed down his face.

Outside the Tianlong Gang gate, Chen Chong and his sister were already waiting for him.

Xiao Ke gave a bitter smile: “You handle things well, I'm leaving!”

Chen Juan's eyes were red, clearly from crying.

Chen Chong held his hand tightly, his jaw clenched, and after a long pause finally said two words: “Take care!”"Xiao Ke did not look back, nor did he dare to turn around. Behind him, Chen Juan's cries gradually faded away.\ Walking alone on the street, he felt an indescribable sorrow and desolation in his heart. A patch of moonlight cast his lonely figure onto the ground, full of melancholy.\ The night lights had long fallen asleep in dreams, yet the only one wandering alone was him, walking the world by himself.\ At this moment, from a nearby dark corner, a figure suddenly appeared, painfully asking, 'Are you really just leaving like this?'\ Hearing his voice, Xiao Ke felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, saying, 'Big brother, don't worry about me. I still have a few friends in the martial world. I haven't visited them for a long time, and this trip is just as good a chance to see them. But I have to tell you one thing!'\ Ke Longfei asked, 'What is it?'\ Xiao Ke replied, 'Be careful of the people around you!'\ Ke Longfei sighed and said, 'Sorry, little brother...'\ Xiao Ke smiled and said, 'It's no big deal. Big brother, goodbye!' After saying this, he strode toward the outskirts of the city, his steps suddenly becoming unusually heavy.\ Perhaps in his heart, he still hoped Ke Longfei would show a bit more concern, and maybe that would truly satisfy him.\ But Ke Longfei said nothing more, only letting out a helpless sigh in the darkness.\ Xiao Ke could no longer hear him, because he had already walked far away.
In the vast world, where was he heading?
Perhaps even he did not know where he was going. In his confused mind, the image of that woman, delicate and fragrant like drifting clouds and water, suddenly appeared.\ Xiao Ke sighed quietly and thought, 'I am so obsessed with her, but would she remember me?'\ A cup of light wine carried endless sorrow.\ After finishing three cups of wine, someone came to find him—a very handsome man.\ Xiao Ke did not know him, but had heard of him: Gongzi Yi, the most charming and gallant young master in the martial world.\ Gongzi Yi sat across from him, a smiling expression that was truly captivating.\ Xiao Ke looked at him and also smiled, raising his cup: 'Come, drink!'\ As the wine poured into the cup, a fragrant aroma filled the air.\ Gongzi Yi praised, 'Good! Chen Nian Fenjiu aged three pots—the wine is excellent!'\ Xiao Ke couldn't help but compliment, 'Gongzi Yi truly is a remarkable person!'Young Master Yi raised his cup and drank it all in one go, then poured another glass and smiled lightly: “I dare not call myself a master. Compared to your 'September Eagle Flight' swordsmanship, that is simply like a small magician facing a great one. As the saying goes, 'September Eagle soars proud in the sky, renowned across the world,' such is the heroic spirit!”

Listening to this, Xiao Ke felt a sting in his heart and couldn't help but glance at the conspicuous scar on his right wrist, saying, “When you come, is it not just to say these things?”

Young Master Yi's expression was strange, and he chuckled: “Xiao Ke, with your peerless 'September Eagle Flight' swordsmanship, became famous as a young man, but I later heard that your right hand had been crippled. Alas! It's regrettable. Considering your contributions to the Tianlong Gang, they are indeed remarkable, yet I also heard that you voluntarily gave up everything and left the Tianlong Gang, is that true?”

Xiao Ke did not answer.

Young Master Yi said: “As the second-in-command of Tianlong Gang, how mighty you must have been—getting wind when you wanted it, rain when you wished. Yet you unexpectedly gave up power, wealth, and women—things everyone desires—and chose to leave quietly. This is somewhat hard to believe and thought-provoking!”

Xiao Ke sneered: “And then?”

Young Master Yi said: “Then, of course, I deeply regret it for you! The half of the world you painstakingly conquered, you just gave it all up for nothing. Don't you feel heartbroken?”

Xiao Ke sighed: “Some things are actually burdens. Once you let go, it becomes a kind of relief. Don't you think so?”

Young Master Yi sighed heavily: “Alas! I just can't understand. If it were me, no matter what, I would take back what belongs to me!”

He sighed three times in a row, as if he had lost his own treasure. He stood up and looked at Xiao Ke, his eyes flashing with light, full of infinite regret.

Xiao Ke did not notice, because he was drinking, and when he put down the cup, Young Master Yi had already left the door and walked away.

Then, Xiao Ke saw a man with a face full of scars.

The man rushed in like a hunting dog, looking around like a hound, and finally fixed his gaze on Xiao Ke. A strange smile appeared, as if a dog had seen a delicious bone.

Xiao Ke, of course, was not a bone, but the moment he saw the man, his expression changed. Because the man with the scarred face was the enemy who had severed the tendons in his right hand, causing him immense suffering.Xiao Ke and his brother had searched for him for many years, yet in the end, they could not find him. So how could he appear here now?

There was no time to think further before the scar-faced man, eyes glowing, came to stand in front of him. Placing one foot on a bench, he sneered, "You really are lucky, huh? Still alive?"

Xiao Ke looked very frightened. "You… what do you want?"

The scar-faced man laughed heartily. "Look at you pathetic fool! What happened to your so-called September Eagle Flying technique? Come try to chop me!"

Xiao Ke trembled with anger, yet he was powerless.

The scar-faced man grew even more arrogant, laughing with spittle flying everywhere, almost losing his teeth.

A few patrons drinking in the hotel, seeing the situation, sensed trouble and panicked, rushing out. The shopkeeper secretly cursed his misfortune, hiding in a corner and trembling, too afraid to make a sound.

Just as the scar-faced man laughed his hardest, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Ke was also smiling—more chillingly than himself. His eyes widened. "You… still smiling at the moment of death?"

Xiao Ke said, "I was thinking, if I could slash you even once, I'd probably smile even more happily!"

Suddenly, a knife appeared in his hand, a wide-bladed, thick-edged sword that a farmer would use to chop firewood.

Seeing it, the scar-faced man laughed, completely dismissing him. Puffing out his chest, he said, "Come on! Slash me! I don't believe your right hand is crippled and you can still…" Before he could finish, it was as if a chicken egg suddenly got stuck in his throat. His eyes bulged, as if he were seeing a demon in broad daylight.

But in his pupils, it wasn't a demon that flashed—it was a proud eagle spreading its wings high in the sky—but by then, he could no longer see it.

Because he suddenly felt an icy pain in his throat, and a final gasp leaked out one last line: "September Eagle flies proudly through the sky, its glory known across all lands."

These words were a reflection of Xiao Ke's fame. Since his right hand was crippled, he had disappeared from the martial world, no longer remembered. Hearing them now coming from the scar-faced man's mouth stirred his emotions, invigorated his spirit, as if he had found his former self again.

Xiao Ke looked at the small circle forming on the scar-faced man's Adam's apple, blood streaming out, emanating some heat. He let out a deep sigh and said, "One must never underestimate their opponent, or else death is inevitable!"This is a lesson that many people keep repeating, often only annotated in the flow of life's blood, and by the time they regret it, it's too late. That night, the wind stirred the grass, causing many blooming red flowers to fall. The flowers were blood-red, a deep purplish red, shockingly grotesque. A ground full of loneliness, a ground full of desolation, no good mood could be picked up anymore; the fallen flowers gradually vanished in the wind, turning into boundless rain, soaking his heart. Because that very night, Xiao Ke heard an unfortunate and terrifying piece of news: the leader of the "Tianlong Gang," Ke Longfei, had suddenly passed away! With a 'bang', the wine glass fell, splashing wine, soaking the grayish ground. — — — — — — Perhaps, Little Town of Seven Jars could not come out. It should have been a short story with colors of joy, humor, and laughter… but when a person is sad, there is only tragedy. Perhaps thinking back to when writing Little Town of Seven Jars, soaring was present, and even was the first to talk to him… now? Heh heh heh, ah… hahahaha! Little town, joy? Laughter? Can you write that?
