The poisonous insects have already found them, and it is not far from the time when the disciples of the Su Ri Sect are found.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear that the raging fire would burn on the mother and daughter. After the meal, Luo Que, Wei Xinglan and Xue Fengyi bid farewell to this place, but the woman didn't say much. It is to say goodbye.
Qi Feng looked up at them, a pair of small hands were tangled together helplessly, her face was bulging, and she was unhappy at first glance.
The woman tapped her head lightly, and said to Luo Quin: "I have two horses in the backyard, you may be able to use them, one is the one I rode when I brought Feng'er into the city, and the other is... The man left behind."
There was a trace of bitterness on her face, without thinking too much, "that person" naturally refers to the husband who abandoned his home and left.
"Ma'am, you must not. You keep this horse. The mountains are high and the road is far away. If there is no horse, it will be difficult to enter the city." Xue Fengyi said.
The toxins on his knees were completely detoxified, and now he can move freely, but the wound is a little itchy, probably because the flesh is growing.
The woman smiled softly and said: "It's okay, there are often caravans passing by on the road, and sometimes they will pick up the mountain people along the way."
Xue Fengyi waved his hands again and again, saying that refusal is refusal, and if he were to go back on his word, it would turn the sea into a mulberry field.
Luo Que also frowned, she could see that the life of these two people was not easy, if they were in short supply for a while, maybe they could sell the horse for some money.
However, under the persuasion of several people, the woman went straight to the backyard and pulled out the two horses that were eating hay. One black and one white were very beautiful, and the black made it blacker, and the white whiter.Black horse saddle, white horse silver saddle, two pairs of eyes are really smart.
The woman who brought the horse out put her face on the black horse's mane, and raised her hand to stroke its mane, muttering to herself, "This is the horse he left behind. I will come back to lead the horse someday, but I can't wait."
Luo Que and Wei Xinglan were silent and did not speak, they just looked at her silently.
The woman laughed, even the dress of a peasant woman couldn't hide her elegance, she said: "I was originally the daughter of the Liu family in Pingxi City, that day he came riding this black horse, trampling on flowers like With the fragrance of flowers on his body, he drove away those young people without taking out his sword. I fell in love with him at first sight, and I followed him resolutely, regardless of my parents' obstruction."
The black horse whose mane was stroked by her lowered its eyes, as if it was also looking at her.
"He has a lot of enemies. He wanted to put me on Mount Song and ignore him, but in the end he broke the handle of the knife. He retreated to the Jianghu, and I naturally followed him. But unexpectedly, when the enemy came, he had no choice but to use force again. Now that I think about it, It's just a nonsense to lie to me." Speaking of this, the woman was a little choked up, her downcast eyes were wet, but she insisted not to let the tears fall.
She then sighed, "Feng'er is five years old. He must have been away from home for five years. I don't know if he is still alive. At first I thought you were here to seek revenge, but then I thought, maybe I was thinking too much." Now, take this horse with you."
Feng'er stood watching from a distance, wondering if she had listened to the woman's words, her almond eyes blinked.
Luo Que and Wei Xinglan had no choice but to take the two horses, but they had nothing else, and they couldn't offer anything valuable in exchange.
Before leaving, Luo Que had no choice but to leave a short whistle for Qi Feng, which was a gadget she often carried by her side to summon Flying Eagle.
Holding the eagle whistle in her hand, the girl looked up at Luo Quin, and there was a little joy in her eyes. She couldn't put it down and asked, "Are you still coming?"
Luo Que was silent for a long while, then nodded in a soft heart, but whether she will come again is uncertain, she lowered her eyes to look at the short emerald green whistle, and said: "If something happens in the future, you can take it with you. Take this to Qingfeng Island to find me."
The long-haired child looked at her ignorantly, his almond-shaped eyes were round like cat rocks, and his little jade-white hands tightly clenched what was in his hands, "Where is Qingfeng Island?"
"On the sea to the east, there are boatmen ferrying to Anping Ferry." Luo Que said flatly.
The girl smiled suddenly, as bright as the stars in the sky, although she didn't understand, but the slightly rounded jaw still lowered a little, and said with a smile: "Then I will definitely take good care of this... small whistle."
The woman standing behind her smiled sweetly, raised her hand and brushed her temple hair behind her ears, and said with a smile, "Take care, you three."
Three people and two horses galloped away, the sound of horseshoes sounded far away, and finally disappeared completely.
After walking away, Luo Que suddenly said: "I still feel a little strange why they have Bubulian."
"Do you still have that porcelain bottle?" Wei Xinglan asked with his head turned sideways, holding the reins tightly with both hands.
Holding the rein with one hand, Luo Que took out the porcelain bottle from his collar, and threw it towards Wei Xinglan.
Wei Xinglan received it securely, and carefully looked at the bottle that once contained Bubulian, rubbing his fingers on the flat bottom print, "Could it be that Mrs.'s husband is a disciple of Konghai Temple who has returned to vulgarity, and he just fell in love, so he pretended to be A knight and his wife live together?"
Luo Quin: ...
This person really dared to think that it is possible that everyone in the world is as good at speaking as she is.
After listening for a while, Xue Fengyi, who was sitting on horseback, said in a deep voice: "Konghai Temple does not accept disciples who practice with hair. If you want to return to the vulgarity, you need to use up all your strength. You must not use this force to do evil."
After exhausting the skill, if you want to practice again, it will be more difficult than the first experience, let alone hide from any enemies.
Luo Que glanced at Wei Xinglan, wondering if her face hurt from the beating.
Wei Xinglan gave a feigned "Oh", his expression didn't change at all, his skin was really thick.
After riding for a while, Luo Que suddenly reined in her horse and stopped. She frowned, turned her head and looked at the way she came, "Not good."
"What?" Wei Xinglan was puzzled.
"Don't you think this road is too quiet?" Luo Qun said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xinglan frowned, only now did he realize that the road along the road was indeed too quiet, and the mountains and forests on both sides were completely silent, as if all the mountain insects and beasts had disappeared.
They looked at each other, and although they didn't say much, they formed a tacit understanding after being together for a long time, and they all turned around and rode away.
City Lord Xue, who couldn't look at him, was stunned for a moment, only felt that the wind around him seemed to be spinning in a circle, as if he had turned his head, and thought that these two people obviously couldn't bear to give in to each other, and they choked each other all the way, why did they suddenly I have a tacit understanding again, I really feel sorry for the blind old man.
The horses, one black and one white, galloped along the narrow road covered with sand and gravel, and stepped on the horseshoe marks left when they came.
……
In the farmhouse, a group of bearded men dressed in coarse linen kicked open the closed door with their swords.
The bowls and dishes fell to the ground and shattered into a piece of broken porcelain.
The woman who was packing up the dishes froze in place. She swallowed silently, resisting the chattering of her teeth, and asked, "What do you guys do?"
Several people looked at her coldly, the leader only said: "What about others."
As soon as the words fell, the woman immediately understood who they were looking for, and her heart rose tightly to her throat. Suddenly, her mind went blank. Lie down in the house, the big brothers wait here for a while, and the servants will go in and wake him up."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the room, resisting wiping the sweat from her hands on the sarong.
After raising the curtain, Qi Feng who was sitting in the room immediately raised his head, with a hint of worry in his almond eyes, and said, "Mother..."
Just when she was about to ask, her mouth was suddenly covered by the woman, and she purred twice, like a cat.
The bamboo whistle in his hand was thrown out of his hand immediately, and fell to the ground with a snap.
Qifeng wanted to take a look outside, but before she poked her head out, she was held down by the woman.
She was stunned for a moment, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that her mother's face was pale, her thin red lips had been bitten out of blood, she stared blankly, her phoenix eyes were wide open, she didn't know what happened.
The woman squatted down and reopened the wine cellar that had been dusty for a long time, and the dust suddenly rose up, fluttering in the sunlight.She took a deep look at Qifeng, and with a cruel heart, she dragged and dragged the struggling little baby into the wine cellar.
The wine cellar is under the wooden floor, and very people can see that there are still things hidden underneath.
The temples were already wet with sweat, the woman pursed her lips tightly, and hurriedly pulled out a small wooden drawer on the dressing table, and stuffed a dark object inside into Qifeng's hands, which were also stained with sweat go up.
Qifeng was holding the dark thing, and couldn't recognize what it was for a while, she just looked up at her helplessly, wondering why she was talking and laughing just now, why suddenly someone came and smashed it After eating the bowl, my mother panicked like this.
She whimpered, and became sad for no reason. Tears were like beads, pattering down, dripping down her chin into the collar, soaking a large piece of fabric.
After taking a deep look at the praying phoenix squatting at the junction of light and darkness in the wine cellar, the woman slowly put her index finger on her lips. Her eyes were as gentle as water, restraining the anxiety and panic in her heart, and showing her best side. Leave it to your own children.
As soon as the boards were closed, they decisively separated the sight of the two.
Qifeng in the wine cellar only watched a large darkness coming around her head, and then she couldn't see anything. The wooden board on the top also separated the outside sound. ringing.
"Mom?" She called eagerly.
"Mother?"
"Mother, let Feng'er go out quickly."
"Mother, Feng'er is afraid of the dark."
……
No one responded, she seemed to be separated from this world, she only smelled a smell of dust, surrounded by wine jars of all sizes, all left by her father.
Naturally, this is what mother told her.
The sound outside stopped abruptly, and those people's footsteps seemed to stop for a moment, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and there was a bang, as if the mother's dressing table was split in half.
After tumbling for a while, the group of people left with heavy steps, and this time they really left.
……
The house was in a mess, and the three of them were still late.
Luo Que walked into the house with a cold face, and saw the woman who was worried about them not long ago was lying motionless on the ground, her chest was stained red, her lips had faded, and her face was ashen.
She was stunned for a moment, then squatted down to feel the woman's breath, and put two fingers on her already chilled side neck, as she expected, there was no way to save her.
Wei Xinglan walked in with the sword in his hand, and after looking around, he frowned and said, "It's not Su Rijiao."
There are knife marks and sword marks everywhere in this room, but there are no traces left by poisonous insects, obviously it was done by another group of people.
But if it wasn't Su Rijiao, who would it be?
And where were the insects and beasts along the way recruited by Su Rijiao?
Luo Que stood up, and suddenly realized that there was no sign of Qifeng in the house, she whispered: "Where is Qifeng?" After speaking, she searched the house, found the side room from the kitchen, and went back and forth After walking a few times, he still didn't see Qifeng.
"Miss Luo." The embarrassing Wei Xinglan called out from the master bedroom.
Luo Que left after hearing the sound, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the short whistle in Wei Xinglan's hand.
"She should still be here." Wei Xinglan said, while returning the short whistle to Luo Quin.
After many years of walking in the rivers and lakes, Luo Que seldom felt such flustered feelings. If she was really taught by Su Ri, she might have become a heinous sinner. When she lowered her eyes, she suddenly noticed a trace of movement under the table.
There is a thin layer of dust all around, and the mark drawn by the table leg is obvious, obviously it was moved over by someone.
It must not be that group of evildoers, if they were, they would have split the table in half.
Luo Que's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head to look at Wei Xinglan, only to see that the man was lying on the ground with his right ear pressed to the ground, listening carefully to the sounds below.
After listening carefully, Wei Xinglan raised his head and glanced at Luo Quin, and said, "I'll go out for a while."
She winked, and Luo Que didn't understand for a moment, thinking that the man had sand in his eyes, and said with a frown, "Don't let me blow it up for you."
Wei Xinglan: ...
Anyway, whatever she does now will make Luo Quin think wrong.
After being silent for a while, Wei Xinglan said again: "I'm going to clean up." After she finished speaking, she bent her index finger and tapped on the wooden board below her, implying that the outside was handed over to her, and this piece The plank is lifted by Luo Quin.
Luo Que was stunned for a while before he understood.
After Wei Xinglan went out, there was a rustling sound outside the house, as if water had been sprinkled all over the floor, the sound gradually became smaller, as if people were gradually walking away.
After there was no movement outside, Luo Quin lowered her eyes to look at the wooden board below, she knocked on it, and it was really empty.But she didn't know where to open the wooden board, so she tried a few more times with the sword. After prying open the lower wooden board, she saw the trembling child hiding underneath at a glance.
Qi Feng looked up at her, his eyes were blank, as if he had become a little fool, he was still holding something tightly in his hand, and his knuckles were turning white.
After Ding Ding looked at Luo Qun for a long time, she finally said in fear, "Sister Fairy, why are you back again? Where is my mother?"
Luo Que didn't know what to say, "She..."
"Your mother left first." Xue Fengyi outside the door said in a deep voice.
There was no sadness or joy on Qifeng's face, she just seemed to have never recovered, she nodded her head, raised the thing in her hand, and said: "This is what my mother gave me."
Luo Que recognized it as a knife handle just by looking at it. She recalled what the woman said not long ago, she said that after being with her, her husband broke the knife handle and retired to the world. Maybe this is the knife handle.
People in Jianghu regard weapons as life, without weapons in hand, they are like a half-dead person.The man broke the handle of the knife, Xu Shi really loved that lady very much.
She lowered her eyes, returned the handle of the knife to Qifeng, and said: "This is your father's."
Qi Feng blinked, then held the handle of the knife and looked at it helplessly. She squatted in the dark cellar, as if she had also turned into dust.
A scene suddenly flashed before Luo Quin's eyes. She seemed to have been hiding in a dark place, and there seemed to be someone else beside her. They held hands and cuddled together tremblingly. There is nothing, only the people around you can give the slightest warmth.
where is that?
It seems to be in a wooden cabinet, vaguely, and it looks like the wooden cabinet under the Buddhist altar on the Xixin Pagoda.
But why is she there, who are the people around her, and why is she locked there?
A sudden pain in her head forced her to regain her senses. The darkness in front of her eyes suddenly disappeared, and her eyes only met the ignorant and ignorant eyes of the girl in the wine cellar.
Luo Que stretched out her hand to hug Qifeng out, and said, "Yes, your mother left first, let us bring you along."
"Then where did my mother go?" Qi Feng asked anxiously.
Wei Xinglan's voice came from outside the door, "Your mother has gone looking for your father." She raised the curtain, lowered her eyes to see the wine cellar below, raised her eyebrows, and said, "There is wine. "
When bending over to take out the wine, she glanced at Qifeng and asked, "Can I get it?"
Qi Feng nodded, then shook his head after a while.
"Then can I take it or can't I take it?" Wei Xinglan asked, speaking slowly, with a trace of extremely rare tenderness.
Qi Feng blinked and had no choice but to nod again.
Wei Xinglan took a jar of wine casually. She patted off the mud and the thick cloth that sealed the jar, sniffed it with half-closed eyes, "Good wine."
It is indeed a good wine. At the moment of Kaifeng, the aroma of the wine immediately overflowed, refreshing.
Luo Que didn't know why she was in the mood to drink, so she just lowered her head and asked, "Do you know who the person who just came here is?"
Qifeng lowered her eyes, the starlight in her eyes seemed to have disappeared, her whole body sank, and she completely lost her childlike innocence. She shook her head again, then nodded again, and said after a while: "They It seems that he came to find Daddy."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Que knew that the person who came was really not from the Su Rijiao, but the gloom in her eyes still lingered, and she didn't feel at ease because of it.
She didn't dare to take Qifeng outside, for fear that she would see the bloodstain.
But the person carrying the wine jar said: "Let's go, your mother has gone far, and we have to hurry." After finishing speaking, he took Qifeng's hand and put the ignorant child Take out.
Holding Qifeng in one hand and the wine jar in the other, she turned her head and glanced at Luo Quin, "Excuse me."
Luo Quin: ...
The moment she lifted the curtain, she saw that the floor of the outer room was soaked, and the blood stains left behind were washed away.
Wei Xinglan turned his head innocently, and said to Qi Feng: "I wanted to clean it for you, but I overturned the water."
Qi Feng stared at it blankly, then nodded timidly, "If you say it was Feng'er who overturned the water, mother will not be angry."
Luo Que was speechless for a moment, only feeling an inexplicable soreness in his eyes and nose.
Her head suddenly hurt, and she seemed to remember something again. In the darkness, she seemed to push something away, and faintly saw the light of a sword flashing outside, accompanied by red and silver, and the silver one was the sword. Light, what is red is self-evident.
She flickered and leaned against Wei Xinglan's body. The man leaned closer to him shamelessly, his body was soft and smelling cold, and he said leisurely, "Oh, why are you throwing yourself into your arms?" Hug, I just tidied up a little bit, I didn't feel tired, so don't feel sorry for me."
Luo Quin: ...
Although Wei Xinglan didn't say anything serious, she didn't take a sip of the wine after opening the wine jar. When she walked out of the house, she poured down the wine jar in her hand, and the fragrant wine immediately flowed out and fell on the ground. A long mark was spilled.
"After drinking, it's time to go on the road." The laziness in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and she lowered her voice and said slowly.
