Relief

Xie Zhixu bent down and got in, kicked a pile of weeds and branches, the airflow was blowing from a direction that was dark and dark, he walked forward a few steps, and kicked something at his feet against the rock wall to make a crisp impact sound, unlike The dead branches of wet wood picked up by wild animals for their nests.

He fumbled to pick it up, making use of the faint light at the entrance of the hole, and found that it was a pine stick with one end blackened, which seemed to be used for lighting, and the grease cotton wrapped in it had been burnt.

"Second Senior Brother?" Xie Zhixu called out tentatively to the depths, and waited for the air to flow into the cave to hum in response.

There was a trace of water vapor in the wind.

Does the cave lead to the lake?Xie Zhixu drew the sword guard in front of him and continued to penetrate.

The cave is formed naturally, with seven bends and eight twists, no route at all, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow, sometimes high, sometimes low, some places can only be crawled through, and extend in all directions, connecting with countless other pores, it seems that the whole mountain is in the shape of a honeycomb .

Fortunately, the wind in the lake has not been broken. If you go in the direction of the wind, you can vaguely hear the sound of the waves of the lake hitting the cliff.The honeycomb-shaped cave is a good sound collector. Xie Zhixu walked through the interior of the mountain and could hear the wind and grass outside the mountain.

There is a faint light ahead, and the mountain road has come to an end.Xie Zhixu was exhausted, and rushed over in one go—the sky was shining brightly, and the moonlight filled the cliffs. He stepped on the ground, and the waves roared under his feet.

Xie Zhixu quickly climbed onto the rock at the entrance of the cave, grabbed the slippery moss with one hand: "???!!!"

"Ahhh-"

In the process of falling rapidly, I only had time to glance at the cliff standing near the water. There was no grass growing on the rock skin. The criss-crossing stone roads inside the mountain led to this place. There were countless large and small holes on the cliff face, which looked like dense black eyes under the moonlight. .

Immediately afterwards, it was shot into the waves and was disturbed by the current.

There was constant humming in the ear drums, Xie Zhixu groaned in his heart, tasted a bit of sweetness in his throat, stuck the crevice of the reef with the clean sky, pushed aside the turbulent water and slowly approached the shore.

When he got out of the water, his body was so heavy that he could only drag it. Xie Zhixu fell on his back in the shallows, with the lake stones as big as pigeon eggs on his back in a panic.

Lying on the back and looking at the cliff, I feel more majestic and majestic, oppressing the water surface as if about to topple over, even the countless eyes on the cliff are watching the bean-sized visitors on the shallows, which makes people feel chills.

Xie Zhixu fell on the beach and didn't want to move anymore. The grievance and depression suppressed in his heart surged up at this moment, and he opened his mouth and shouted weakly: "Senior brother—Second senior brother—where are you...I'm so tired. I haven't eaten, brother, let's enjoy the meal...Help me, my bones are broken...Brother—brother—come out quickly, I saw you..."

After shouting, I also felt bored, and waited for the surging blood in my chest to calm down, and slowly turned over while supporting the sword.

Suddenly, the hair on his back stood upright, as if there was a spying sight in the dark.

Xie Zhixu drew his sword and turned around, the clean sky and mirror-like smooth sword body reflected countless deep caves, and it stopped on a protruding stone platform - the moonlight was like water, draped on the man's gray robe, I know Chang's wheelchair was parked on the edge of the stone platform, with his head down, his brows and eyes hidden in the backlight, a shadow.

Xie Zhixu gave a jolt: "Second Senior Brother!"

The wheelchair turned upside down and sank into the cave behind him.

Xie Zhixu immediately chased after him. There were protruding stones on the cliff that could be grasped and set foot on. It was not difficult to climb, but he just rubbed his hands with muddy blood, and he looked very embarrassed.

He grabbed the edge of the stone platform and climbed up. In front of him was a relatively open cave. It looked not deep on the surface. There was a fire in the cave, and the light was bright. A stone bed was dug inside and covered with haystacks. Throwing it in the corner, Feng Zhichang set up a pot on the fire and was cooking something.

Xie Zhixu was seduced by the aroma of the food, and salivated over it—it was a pot of jerky porridge, although it wasn't much, it didn't seem like one person could finish it all.

"My God, brother, you are such a good person!" Xie Zhixu was very moved, "Can I have a bowl!"

A creature slid across the instep.It was Feng Zhichang's black scaled snake, grinning at Xie Zhixu.

Xie Zhixu had already smashed the pot and smashed it, and he was not afraid to pat the snake on the head, and said to Feng Zhichang: "I came here alone, I didn't tell anyone, really. I just wanted to help you."

With a cold face, Feng Zhichang picked up the bamboo stick leaning against the wheelchair, and kept Xie Zhixu from the rice cooker at a safe distance.

It was Liuliu's bamboo stick, because she didn't know kung fu, the husband gave her one for self-defense, the mechanism in the stick was bloody, Xie Zhixu surrendered with both hands.

The man on the stone bed rolled twice on the spot, humming.

It turned out that he was gagged, and his face was illuminated by the flames, whoever it was if it wasn't Liang Ting.

Liang Ting stared at Xie Zhixu, sobbing in her throat, as if she wanted to say something.Xie Zhixu took a look at Feng Zhichang, seeing that he didn't respond, so he went over to remove the cloth ball for Liang Ting.

Even though Liang Ting was in peace, his expression was so proud that he couldn't beat him. The main reason is that Chang and Liu Liu didn't seem to use rough methods when they kidnapped and transported him.

"Who are you!" Liang Ting's voice was still hoarse, "Does a mere kidnapping require so many accomplices? Heh."

Xie Zhi humbly said that I know you and you don't know me, which shows which of us is more like a kidnapped hostage, and we really don't suffer or cry.So he smiled kindly at Liang Ting: "Young Master Liang, my surname is Xie, you don't remember me? I gave you your antidote."

Liang Ting was a little surprised, looked him up and down, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "I was dressed in rags, I almost didn't recognize him."

Xie Zhixu: "..."

Liang Ting provocatively said again: "It turns out that you are a team. It's really a big game of chess. First, one of them will threaten me, and you will show up at the right time to gain my trust, and then lurk by my side to wait for the opportunity to strike. Oh, it's a pity that you were caught I refused, so I didn’t succeed! ——Hey, that dumb guy over there! Who are you and why did you kidnap me? I advise you to explain clearly as soon as possible, otherwise you will only be an unknown corpse when the officers and soldiers round up and strangle you. Already!"

Xie Zhixu endured it, but he couldn't hold it back, and said: "Master Qiu, you should be nicer to yourself." Then he stuffed the cloth ball back into Liang Ting's mouth.

The meat porridge in the pot was cooked, and the warm fragrance was overflowing, and there were gurgling sounds in the belly of the cave one after another. This was Xie Zhixu, and that was Liang Ting on the stone bed.

Before the meal was served, I knew that Chang had no intention of untying Liang Ting, but he had prepared two sets of tableware, and Xie Zhixu had reason to believe that the other set was reserved for Liu Liu.If there is no accident, they should meet here tonight, but the accident is that Liu Liu may have been watched by Wu Li.

It is known that Chang and Liuliu are excellent food friends, one eats like a cat with a very small appetite, and the other eats fast and large like a storm.

"I can do it too, really!" Xie Zhixu assured Feng Zhichang, "I didn't eat a bite of food today, I'm so hungry, I can lick the pot clean and you don't have to climb down the cliff to wash it!"

Feng Zhi often filled half a bowl for himself, and took it to the stone platform to eat to show his dislike for Xie Zhixu.

This pot of porridge was very delicious, maybe it was because Xie Zhixu was so hungry, he made sacrifices to the Wu Zang Temple, and then remembered that Liang Ting hadn't eaten yet.The hostages can't be starved to death first, Xie Zhixu raised his index finger to Liang Ting with a bowl in his hand and made a silent gesture: "Master Biao, you have to think about whether to talk first or eat first, I will give it to you." In the blink of an eye, if you miss the meal in order to express a few words quickly, you can only count yourself as unlucky if you starve to death."

Xie Zhixu hadn't discovered before that he also had the eloquence to threaten others, and sure enough, people discover talents in concentrated contradictions.

He said Mr. Qiu and Mr. Biao, and he really stunned Liang Ting. He probably didn't know what to say for a while. As soon as Xie Zhixu tore off the cloth ball, he wolfed down the bowl with his mouth in his mouth. I almost ate the bowl too.

After finishing the meat porridge, Liang Ting smacked his lips in disgust: "Why doesn't there be any salty taste——"

Xie Zhixu gagged his mouth, the cloth ball was soaked with his own saliva, Liang Ting's face showed a disgusted expression of retching but not being able to vomit.

Alas, Xie Zhixu shook his head, it made you treat yourself better, why can't you see the situation clearly.

On an isolated island away from the lights of the busy city, the moonlight is particularly bright and radiant as the night gets darker.

Feng Zhi often faces the vast undulating surface of the lake, his gaze falls far away, and his back is peaceful.

Xie Zhixu walked up to him and sat down. He also looked in that direction and saw the lights shining on thousands of households in the distance.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Zhixu asked, "The Liang family or the Qiu family?"

Xie Zhixu can often taste a lot of meaning from Feng Zhichang's silence. His current silence is because he doesn't want to communicate with himself.

"Liang Zhen woke up this morning furious, and has reported to Zhizhou to send troops to search the city. When I left, the officers and soldiers were checking the carts on the street. They were afraid that you would transport Liang Ting out of the city," Xie Zhixu said, "I know you want Liu What does Liu stay here for? You want to deliver a letter to the Liang family, exactly the same as what the kidnappers did 13 years ago. You repeat all this, to witness with your own eyes what choices the Liang family and the Qiu family will make this time. I guess Right?"

Fengzhi Chang's jaw moved, and frost flashed in his eyes, beautiful and dangerous.

"I also guess that in the past 13 years, you have been confused about whether the love of parents in the world is given to their children unconditionally. It is said that tiger poison does not eat children. How can there be such a mother? Knowing that The child was kidnapped, but he didn't rush, neither rescued nor notified the government. How can there be such a father who ignores the child and doesn't notice the disappearance for more than a month, leaving the child to suffer alone. You Originally, there may be an answer in your heart, that is, you are unlucky, or you have done something wrong in your previous life, and you have such parents. But when you return to the old place of Suzhou after many years, you find that you are born with a lack of parental love in your heart. You have a son who loves you in every possible way, who treats you like a treasure and protects you like an eyeball. There is only one Mr. Liang in Suzhou City who was born to be the moon on the clouds. It's not worth mentioning that Liang Ting looks so ridiculous in front of him. If this Liang Ting is another son who suits his wishes, that's all. Even the most disliked disabled voice is exactly the same. Why is he so lucky?"

Xie Zhixu sat for a while, feeling pain in the bones of his body, so he lay down half-body, his calf dangling from the edge of the stone platform and shaking slightly: "If it were me, I would also want to stand in front of these parents and force them to answer this question."

Feng Zhichang didn't leave, but leaned against the back of the wheelchair and listened quietly to what he continued.

"I thought you just wanted an answer, and didn't care if it was given by someone else or you got it yourself, so I invited you to go on a spring outing. For Patriarch Liang, the love he gave Liang Ting came from 13 years ago Guilt, this guilt is for you, not for this imposter. For Mrs. Qiu, it is impossible for her to have a natural love for the son born of this forced marriage, and she herself is still suffering from chronic pain. The environment is suffering, how can you expect her to have extra love to share with others. As for the fake Liang Ting in the cave, isn’t he the most innocent? How big was he 13 years ago, but he made a comeback The most pitiful victim in the world. In order for him to imitate you perfectly, did the Qiu family tamper with his voice? In order to prevent this secret from being leaked out, how many Chen Guoer did they kill and how many jujube graves were built? These blood debts are endless. If not, the final burden will be on the shoulders of 'Liang Ting', making him think of the lonely yellow paper in the jujube mound every year yesterday, remembering that although he has neither enemies nor conceived jade, he has become the most damned in the eyes of the second senior brother. the third kind of person."

Xie Zhixu paused, and finally said: "I thought I had already found the answer for senior brother."

The fire in the cave gradually dimmed, Xie Zhixu lay on the wet and cold rock, the starry sky hanging in front of him was so bright that he could touch it, but he couldn't lift his heavy and tired hands no matter what.

Feng Zhichang's shadow moved, and he took out a brocade pouch from the bottom of his sleeve. He lowered his head slightly to search in the brocade pouch, his side face was always bloodless white, and after a while, he took out a medicine jade bottle.Two thumb-sized black pills poured out of the bottle, one was handed to Xie Zhixu, and the other was swallowed by himself.

In Fengzhi's life where he was often unable to speak, he seemed to have realized many behavioral signals that could avoid verbal disputes and achieve his goals efficiently.

For example, how to make people believe that the things given by the poison master are not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence.

It was the same when I gave the fourth child honey balls as snacks before, lack of trust in people, and lack of people to trust him, so Xie Zhixu felt that Feng Zhichang was very pitiful, so he ate it with Feng Zhichang's hand took pills.
