Life is as short as a spring dream

Chapter 25 Pointing to the smoke tree in the former village

Ren Pingsheng narrowed his eyes and watched the direction where Ouying and Du Yu left, without saying a word.Hua Manzhu came over and looked at him questioningly.Ren Pingsheng lowered his head and smiled, patted Hua Manzhu's head: "Go back to the house."

Hua Manzhu obediently entered the room, and just sat down for a while, and kept twisting and turning on the chair.Ren Pingsheng sighed, put down the scabbard he was wiping, pulled Huamanzhu past him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hua Manzhu sat on Ren Pingsheng's lap, with his back facing him, faltering and hawing.Ren Pingsheng became impatient, and gently twisted Huamanzhu's waist with his left hand: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Brother," Hua Manzhu pressed Ren Pingsheng's hand, and turned his head slightly, "You...do you...do you want Yingying to..."

He couldn't go on, he had this idea a long time ago, but his senior brother has always been upright, if it wasn't like this, he didn't know if he would be angry if he thought so.

Ren Pingsheng was taken aback for a moment, then slowly closed his arms, letting Huamanzhu's whole body stick to his arms, with his chin resting on Huamanzhu's shoulder.

"Yes." He didn't hide it either.

Huamanzhu didn't speak.Ren Pingsheng waited for a while, then tightened his arms again, and said in a low voice: "You think I'm too much?"

Hua Manzhu shook his head.

"As Du Yu said, everyone in the world can be used by me." Ren Pingsheng's voice was still very low, "I don't know where Du Yu's revenge will be reported, but he will not kill Yan Pinyu."

"And me," Ren Pingsheng raised his head, turned Huamanzhu to face him, "otherwise, I have no chance to do anything."

Hua Manzhu looked straight at Ren Pingsheng, and slowly stroked Ren Pingsheng's face.

He said softly, "Is it necessary to embrace this hatred?"

Ren Pingsheng didn't speak, his eyes were a little empty.Hua Manzhu hugged Ren Pingsheng's shoulders, buried his head in Ren Pingsheng's neck, as if he was talking to himself: "Brother, I have always wanted to find a place where there are mountains, forests, birds and trees, and a large lake. Two people, light a fire and cook, fish and joke..."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and hugged him back: "Okay."

After these things are settled, Senior Brother will take you to find such a place to live our own lives.

They hugged in silence, and the wind was blowing outside the window, bringing with it the chill of early spring.Ren Pingsheng looked at the sky, it seemed that it was going to rain.

The waiter who delivered breakfast knocked on the door.Ren Pingsheng touched the back of Hua Manzhu's head, and kissed him lightly on the ear.Huamanzhu stood up, as if she hadn't asked anything just now, opened the door with a calm expression, took the breakfast and set it up.

Congee and side dishes, steaming hot.Ren Pingsheng was a little hungry, and was about to move his chopsticks, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the closed door.Ren Pingsheng frowned and stood up abruptly.

It's Ou Ying.

Huamanzhu stood by the door, Ouying's eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying.She ran very fast, rushed into her room, and quickly rushed out again, as if she had taken something.

Passing by Hua Manzhu, Hua Manzhu called her, but she turned a deaf ear and ran out of the small courtyard.

Hua Manzhu turned his head to look at Ren Pingsheng, while his senior brother was still looking in the direction of the backyard with a scary expression on his face.

Du Yu was standing at the end of the corridor, just watching Ou Ying run out without moving.

"Let's go." Ren Pingsheng looked directly at Du Yu, but he was speaking to Hua Manzhu.

Hua Manzhu didn't say anything, followed Ren Pingsheng out of the door quickly.

They didn't look back at Du Yu again.

Your so-called revenge does not know the way of killing people, I will not take it.But Ren Pingsheng knew that since he released Ou Ying, he would not come to block his way.

He didn't want to kill Yan Pinyu, nor did he stop Ren Ping from doing it.Whether it was because he was extremely confident in Yan Pinyu's skills, or just because he didn't want to do it himself, Ren Pingsheng didn't have time to think about it.

Outside the gate of Yan Mansion.

Ouying stood coldly, several guards in front of the door had already drawn their knives.

Ren Pingsheng and Hua Manzhu were standing behind her, she didn't seem to see them.

Two of these three people lived in the mansion a few days ago, and the guards in front of the door knew each other.It's just that Ou Ying's eyes are very scary at this moment, and the atmosphere is weird, they dare not let this former distinguished guest in hastily.Those on duty couldn't decide what to do, so they sent someone in to report quickly.The messenger hasn't come back yet, but Yunying has come out.

She glanced at the three of them and whispered something to the person on duty, and the guard nodded and listened.After speaking, Yunying turned around and left, putting away all the previous courtesy.

The guard cleared his throat, ordered his subordinates to put away their knives, and bowed to them: "Ma'am, please come in."

Ouying walked away without saying a word.Yunying passed on the message, of course the guards had to obey orders, but Yunying didn't look like entertaining guests, he had some doubts in his heart, so he couldn't help but sized them up a few more times, but he didn't stop him after all.

You can't interfere with the master's affairs, just be obedient.

After entering the gate of the mansion, no one came to stop them.Ren Pingsheng pulled Hua Manzhu away from Ouying and chose another path.The person who just went to inform Yan Pinyu didn't have time to see Ren Pingsheng and Hua Manzhu, and even if Yunying knew, she would definitely not tell Yan Pinyu.That's fine, Yan Pinyu didn't know they were coming, Ouying's chance, or their chance, was greater.

Ou Ying roughly remembered the main courtyard where the birthday banquet was held at that time, but she didn't know where Yan Pinyu lived, so she walked in that direction.Ren Pingsheng explored the way, but hid first.

Not long after, Ou Ying also arrived, and Yan Pinyu's lieutenant stood outside the door, a little at a loss.

He couldn't afford to offend this girl, but he could tell from the looks that she was here to find fault, so he was in a dilemma right now.

"Where's Yan Pinyu?" Ou Ying asked bluntly.

"..." Calling Yan Pinyu's name was the first time I heard it in the whole city of Yangzhou. The lieutenant general couldn't help but frown and said: "The general ordered that if the girl comes, let me take the lead." Girl go to the lake."

Ouying remained silent, and the general had no choice but to make a gesture of invitation: "Please, girl."

Yan Pinyu seemed to have known that she would come, although he had given orders first, but the murderous look made the general hesitate.

Yan Pinyu was indeed by the lake.The lake in this mansion has some magical powers. General Yan has always stayed here recently.

He turned around to look at Ou Ying, waved his hand and screened off the lieutenant general.Ren Pingsheng looked around quietly, not a single hidden guard was there.Could it be that Yan Pinyu was waiting to single out against Ou Ying?

Intuition told Ren Pingsheng that Yan Pinyu was not prepared to ambush either.This person has an arrogant temper, he should really just want to be quiet.Ren Pingsheng said in his heart, God help me.

Ou Ying approached Yan Pinyu step by step.

"He is your father."

"Yes, it is the father who left your mother alone and died in difficult childbirth."

"When I found you, your adoptive parents told me that when the woman was in so much pain, she was still calling Yan Pinyu's name."

……

He is your father.

Ouying's mind was buzzing.When she was very young, she asked Du Yu where her parents went.Du Yu said, dead.As for how he died, he has been refusing to tell her.

Later, when she grew up, she stopped asking this question.Yunshuilou has made countless enemies, maybe the parents died at the hands of the enemies.She thought, no matter who it was, uncle must have taken revenge.

But today my uncle said, you should avenge your mother's revenge yourself.

Yes, I should do it myself.

This person, always abandon?Dump your wife?

Ou Ying didn't bother to give him a specific charge.

Yan Pinyu looked calm: "Yingying."

"Don't call me." Ouying paused.

Yan Pinyu closed his eyes: "You are my daughter."

Ouying's heart twitched, and she smiled: "I know."

"I..." Yan Pinyu paused, and said with some difficulty, "I'm sorry for you."

Ou Ying tilted her head, her originally innocent action now looked extremely weird.

"Excuse me? What about my mother?"

Yan Pinyu sighed: "Your mother...that was an accident..."

"Accident?" Ou Ying took two steps forward, very close to Yan Pinyu.

"Yingying, the matter between me and your mother is a long story..."

"Do you know this?" Ou Ying raised her hand, holding a dagger in her hand.

"Uncle said, you gave it to my mother. When my mother died, she only had this dagger with her."

Yan Pinyu didn't know what to say.

This dagger seemed to cut through 17 years of time at once, bringing the past to his eyes.

"Du Juan, that dagger of yours is not very handy, here is this for you, try it out and see if it suits you."

"Give it to me? Thank you, Brother Yan!"

"Why are you being polite to me? Silly girl."

That girl with bright eyes and white teeth back then had similar eyebrows and eyes to Du Yu's. She didn't like to use swords, and always stuck a slightly longer dagger in her boots.

Ou Ying trembled a little, she was not a calm person, at this moment, her originally pure and bright world suddenly flooded with overwhelming hatred, her mind was in chaos.

"Yingying, listen to me." Yan Pinyu supported Ouying's shoulder.

"I don't want to hear from you!" Ouying yelled, "Because of you, my mother died in a foreign land, and I became an orphan without father and mother, but you are here to be your general, beautiful wife and beautiful family, okay? happy!"

"It's not like this!" Yan Pinyu grabbed Ou Ying and didn't let go. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. He reached out to take the dagger from Ou Ying's hand, but when Ou Ying dodged, Yan Pinyu only grabbed the sheath .Ou Ying pulled the dagger out of its sheath.

It has been 17 years, and the specially made dagger still glowed with a sharp cold light. Against the background of the lake, the father and daughter both squinted their eyes for a moment.

Ou Ying was only stunned for a moment, then she clenched the knife in her hand and stabbed Yan Pinyu's chest all at once.

Yan Pinyu could dodge, but he didn't move.

This angle won't hurt your heart.Even if Ou Ying poked his heart, he didn't know if he would have the heart to hide.

Ou Ying was weak, and Yan Pinyu grabbed her shoulder again. Although the dagger was sharp, it didn't penetrate very deep.But the blood still smeared out quickly, spreading slowly on Yan Pinyu's chest.

Yan Pinyu smiled wryly: "I'm the one who's sorry for you...you."

Ou Ying had never seen blood on her hands, she stared blankly at the redness spreading, her chaotic brain exploded, tears burst into her eyes, she didn't know why.

"Don't cry." The blood kept flowing, Yan Pinyu's face turned pale, "Yingying, don't cry."

He stretched out his slightly trembling hand, trying to wipe away her daughter's tears, but at this moment, Ou Ying's whole body suddenly slammed forward, and slammed the dagger deeply into Yan Pinyu's chest.

Yan Pinyu snorted and bent over in pain.

Ou Ying recovered from the shock, turned her head suddenly, and Ren Pingsheng was standing behind her.

He patted Ou Ying from behind.

"It's you." Yan Pinyu straightened up with a pale face, and pushed Ou Ying aside, "Du Yu sent you here?"

Ren Pingsheng drew out his sword, pointed at Yan Pin and said, "I am from Jishan."

Jishan?Yan Pinyu frowned, then suddenly smiled.

"It turned out to be Jishan. I didn't expect that he was still alive."

Ren Pingsheng stopped talking and swung his sword straight up.

Yan Pinyu was seriously injured and had no strength in his body, so he dodged Ren Pingsheng's sword.In such a situation, it was already very difficult for him to deal with Ren Pingsheng alone, Hua Manzhu rushed out again, the two attacked from left to right, and soon he was overwhelmed and retreated to the edge of the lake.

Ou Ying stood aside, completely stunned.

In order to see Ou Ying alone, the nearby guards were dismissed, Yan Pinyu was alone at this time, and it was very difficult.

Ren Pingsheng stabbed with his sword, Yan Pinyu lost too much blood, his footsteps were weak, he couldn't dodge in time, his shoulder was almost pierced.He struggled to retreat quickly, and was about to fall into the lake.

With a sound of "咻", a short arrow came through the air and went straight towards Hua Manzhu's back. Ren Pingsheng was startled, and quickly swung his sword to block it. The short arrow was so powerful that it shook Ren Pingsheng's arm .

Short arrows came one after another, Ren Pingsheng took a few steps back with Hua Manzhu in his arms, before he had time to look back.

It's Yu Qingxian.

Yunying rushed over quickly and stood in front of Yan Pinyu.

Ren Pingsheng was extremely angry: "Didn't Madam say that she wouldn't block the way?"

"If you kill him now," Yu Qingxian said unhurriedly, "you just blocked my way."

Ren Pingsheng clenched his sword tightly.

Yu Qingxian turned her head to look at Ou Ying, with an inexplicably sad smile, "So you are not Du Yu's daughter."

Ou Ying's expression was blank, this person was Yan Pinyu's wife, she should hate her very much, but she still didn't understand what she should do.

Yu Qingxian smiled again, and raised the volume: "He is going to die, why don't you come out?"

The surroundings fell silent, and after a while, Du Yu still came out.

Yu Qingxian looked at Du Yu without blinking, his eyes were full of love and nostalgia.

The author has something to say: I am almost done writing this story. Fortunately, no one will read it at all. Those who are willing to read it can be regarded as fate. Thank you all.
