Jiangnan

When he received the killing order issued by the Wulin League, Ren Pengfei had already stepped into Yunnan and was rushing towards Dali. Zhou Motan's wedding was approaching, so he had to put aside his business, lest he be late for the wedding banquet.

The killing order issued by the Martial Arts League this time offered a reward of up to a thousand taels of silver, comparable to that of Feng Jiaojiao who had killed dozens of people. Smiling, the Wulin League will offer such a high price this time, most of them are out of shame, after all, people actually ran out of the Wulin League general arena!

The person who was killed was Bai Chuan, the head of the Qingshan School. In Ren Pengfei's impression, this old head didn't have much ability, and he couldn't even get acquainted with him in the Jianghu. The reason why Ren Pengfei knew the existence of this person was because Because as the lord of the first city in the Central Plains, he is inextricably linked with the Jianghu. If you want to do well in the Jianghu, you must know yourself and your enemy. A sect, what is its status in the rivers and lakes, and who are their heads, so as not to offend people without knowing it.

If the head of such a small sect was really killed on weekdays, it is estimated that it would not attract much attention.But this time he actually died in the residence of the leader of the martial arts, and he was killed when Zhou Motan, the son of the leader of the martial arts, was about to get married. What's more, this person was obviously arrested, and he was about to be tortured, so he actually ran away at this juncture!

In the residence of the martial arts lord, when most of the heads of the various sects were present, a little prisoner who didn't know much about martial arts just ran away under their noses. It doesn't matter what crime this person committed, in short, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, no matter if he is caught alive or dead!

Ren Pengfei didn't personally experience this incident, but after reading the killing order and sending someone out to inquire about it, he could guess the matter pretty well. Although the reward of a thousand taels of silver was an extremely attractive amount, Ren Pengfei didn't take it seriously at all. He, the city lord of the first city in the Central Plains, doesn't pay much attention to these silver coins; second, he is away from home this time, and he only intends to settle everything quickly, and he doesn't want to involve any more trouble; Xiaojiang's young man was also quite unlucky, and no matter why he killed Bai Chuan, it would be really unlucky for the whole martial arts world to be offended by the matter of his work unit.

To be caught by the government is at most risking one's life to one's life, and to be surrounded and suppressed by people in the rivers and lakes. Those people play tricks in the name of justice, but they can teach people to survive but not die.

To be honest, Ren Pengfei understands the filth in it better than anyone else after being in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he never reveals it, so as not to become the target of public criticism and bring disaster to the family.

Ren Pengfei didn't pay attention to the matter of offering rewards and hunting. He changed cars and horses at a post station to rest and set off again.

To go to Dali, there are water and land routes to choose from. If you take the water route, you will go to the port, take a boat straight up to Dali, and then change horses and rush to Diancang Mountain. During this period of time, people in the rivers and lakes must have set many traps to arrest Xiao Jiang along the way, and it would be more troublesome to go by land, so they had to change to waterways.

On the way from a small county under the rule of Dali to the entrance of the Erhai Coast, the carriage disturbed a child passing through the street. Ren Pengfei's men rushed out to hug him and stabilize him. Ren Pengfei lifted the curtain and asked: " Are there any injuries?"

"Go back to the city lord, nothing happened."

"Leave some silver taels for the children, let's set off quickly."

"Yes."

After a short stay, the group of people continued on their way, but they didn't know that a bloody, unkempt man appeared at the place where they had just stopped, looking around anxiously, frightening the surrounding people and running around without knowing it.

This person is Xiao Jiang who escaped from the residence of the leader of the martial arts alliance. During the past few days, he was almost caught several times along the way, and escaped with his jaw-dropping agility, but he was injured by a hidden weapon flying out during his escape. , there are still a few throwing knives buried in his body now, and every time he moves, they will continue to penetrate, making his wound unable to stop bleeding on its own, let alone heal, and the blood flow makes his lips turn white.

Every time he sees blood on his body, he has the manic urge to kill, but he bears it down. After Bai Chuan's incident, Xiao Jiang has faintly realized that killing is wrong.

Xiao Jiang didn't know how he came to this small county town, and then hid in the alley and adjusted his breath in pain. While half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear a voice that made him nostalgic, so he no longer cared about his physical injuries. He came to the place where the sound came from as quickly as possible, but he didn't see the person he was thinking about day and night, except for the civilians on the street who saw his scary appearance and kept running away.

where!where!where!

Xiao Jiang ran around anxiously, and inadvertently met the eyes of a child who was hiding in the corner of the street. He was the child who was almost hit by Ren Pengfei's carriage just now.After looking at Xiao Jiang with red eyes in surprise and fear, he suddenly realized what Xiao Jiang was looking for, so he stretched out his hand and pointed out the direction of Ren Pengfei's carriage.

"He, they went over there..."

Before the child finished speaking, Xiao Jiang's figure had disappeared in front of his eyes, and the child couldn't help being stunned.

Ren Pengfei didn't expect that someone was chasing them from behind. He hurried all the way to get to the port before sunset, and finally arrived at the destination at the scheduled time. Then he asked his subordinates to contact the boatman, and soon rented a boat. After driving the carriage to the boat, Ren Pengfei asked the boatman to start the boat quickly, while he got into the small room on the boat to sleep.He has no internal energy, and the several days of rushing has almost exhausted his physical strength, so he must take this opportunity to take a good rest.

About two or three hundred meters after the boat left the port, a dirty figure finally ran to the place where Ren Pengfei had just stopped. He didn't care about 300, 21, and when he caught him, he asked: Where is the person, where is the person!

Even though Xiao Jiang was faster than a horse, he was dragged down by the serious injuries on his body, and he lost a lot of blood, so he slowed down a lot, and he almost couldn't stand up several times. He just persisted until now with the eagerness and perseverance in his heart.

The people on the shore saw that Xiao Jiang was so anxious, and Ren Pengfei and his party were the ones who rented the boat this day. .”

Xiao Jiang looked at the small black spot on the river, threw off the person in his hand, and jumped into the water with a splash, which scared the people on the shore enough, thinking that he couldn't think of jumping into the water to commit suicide.Just as he was about to go into the water to save people, Xiaojiang reappeared and swam desperately toward the direction the boat left.

It's just that the speed of Xiaojiang's paddling is not as fast as that of people who grew up by the river and really know how to swim. They pull Xiaojiang back after two or three strokes in the water.

"Little brother, no matter how fast you are, you can't go as fast as a boat. You might as well rent another boat and catch up!"

But Xiaojiang was too stubborn and strong, the person who held him in the water almost drowned, so I had to persuade him first, and then told him that the person who rented the boat mentioned that he was going to Diancang Mountain, if he was really in a hurry, If you rent a horse and drive overland, you can definitely catch up.

When Xiao Jiang heard this, he turned around and swam back, ignoring the water all over his body, he dragged his wounds to look for the horse, but he really saw a middle-aged man riding a horse towards the port, his eyes lit up, and he jumped on him and threw him out of the water. Pulled off the horse's back, turned on the horse by himself, the horse was frightened and disobedient, ran forward a few steps indiscriminately, kicked and raised its front hooves vigorously, Xiao Jiang was almost thrown off several times, finally gritted his teeth and got off the horse, staring for a while with red eyes the horse.

Somehow, the frightened horse behaved honestly, and Xiao Jiang finally got on the horse before the middle-aged man who had been robbed came back to his senses and ran over to take back his horse. He rode the horse and galloped towards the only road leading to Diancang Mountain.

Perhaps no one expected that Xiao Jiang, who had finally escaped from the main altar of the Wulin League, would turn around and head straight for Diancang Mountain. The people who came out to block the way were much faster than before when they were evading hunting and hiding, and they arrived at the foot of Diancang Mountain in just one night.

Looking up at the towering mountain top, Xiaojiang's blood-stained face, and his bloodshot eyes, which were not able to rest for many days, showed no confusion about the way ahead, and all the pain on his body was nothing, from the beginning to the end , all have only one firm belief to find his Jiangnan.

Nothing and no one can stop him until he finds it.

Xiao Jiang got off his horse and galloped towards the top of the mountain.

The blood on his body was so conspicuous that countless people recognized him as Xiao Jiang who was ordered to kill by the Wulin League. The amount of 1000 taels really made people jealous, and this person was right in front of them now——

In the past, Xiao Jiang could hide in order to escape, but now, he only has the hope of finding in his heart, and he can no longer see everything else, people blocking the way, and hidden weapons of swords and swords with distorted light and shadow. God meets Buddha and kills Buddha!

When the blood flowing from his body and other people's blood stained him like a bath of blood, Xiao Jiang came to the top of the mountain.

Peng Fei, the director of the first city in the Central Plains, has come all the way. How could Zhou Yan not come out to greet him in person? After exchanging a few pleasantries in front of the gate, someone came to report that Xiao Jiang, who had been ordered to hunt down and kill him, was going to the head of the court. He came from the direction of the altar, and the knights of the rivers and lakes who tried to intercept him on the way were either dead or injured and unable to move.

Zhou Yan, who had never put Xiao Jiang in his eyes before, was shocked, and Ren Pengfei couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Zhou Yan said coldly: "Where is this person at this time?"

Zhou Yan's men were sweating, and his face couldn't hide the panic: "Going back to the lord, he was very fast, but it took only a cup of tea, and he had already killed halfway, and the younger one rushed back all the way to report the letter, which has already delayed a lot of time, I'm afraid—— "

At this time, a scream suddenly came from the front and cut off his words.

Ren Pengfei stared, and saw a figure in the distance who was thrown into the sky by something, and then fell heavily. When he fell to the ground, there was a dull sound, which seemed to be heard from a long distance away.

Zhou Yan stepped down, the person had already flown out, Ren Pengfei didn't move, after losing all his internal strength, the last thing he wanted was to get ahead of others, he would rather hide honestly and avoid all things that might provoke his upper body, not to mention that he is now It's just a guest, if the host doesn't ask for it, if you act rashly, I'm afraid it will overwhelm the host and cause criticism.

When Zhou Yan landed, the rumored Xiao Jiang finally appeared in front of Ren Pengfei. Looking from a distance, he only saw a bloody figure, but he didn't see his face clearly.

This person fought the enemy all the way to the general arena of the Wulin League. The people in the world may have mixed martial arts, but it is impossible that there is not a real master. He was injured and almost exhausted, but he was able to walk out safely with a long gun in his hand, and Ren Pengfei had to look sideways.

At the same time when Ren Pengfei cast his probing eyes on this man, this man seemed to have sensed his eyes and looked straight at him over the people who gradually gathered and surrounded him heavily. Ren Pengfei's heart felt inexplicable when he met each other. palpitate.

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Zhou Yan's martial arts are unquestionable. His martial arts are so strong that he can detect every move of his opponent just from the flow of air without using his eyes. At this moment, he felt that this young man named Xiao Jiang was obviously stunned. for a moment.

He thinks this is a good time. Although he is old and strong in martial arts, he has never let down his vigilance when facing the enemy. He thinks that it is better to take advantage of the opponent's laxity than to take risks easily without finding out the opponent's depth!

So when he stood not far from Xiaojiang, he didn't make a move immediately, but observed how powerful this Xiaojiang was, but Xiaojiang suddenly stopped attacking, and when Zhou Yan made a move, Xiaojiang's figure just flashed, and then Disappearing in front of his eyes, Zhou Yan's palm barely touched Xiao Jiang's back, but because of this palm, Xiao Jiang's speed was a little faster.

When everyone was in a daze because of Xiao Jiang's sudden disappearance, Ren Pengfei clearly felt a gust of wind with a strong smell of blood rushing towards him. He wanted to hide, but in fact, he didn't even have time to move his feet. A blood-stained hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Ren Pengfei looked at the man in front of him in a daze, his red eyes wide open, but the strength in his hands became heavier, almost crushing his hand bones, causing him to frown in pain.

Also because of Ren Pengfei's imperceptible painful expression, the hand that grabbed him suddenly eased a lot, and then, the blood-stained face of the person in front of him suddenly opened his mouth, smiled silly, and said hoarsely :"Fool……"

Along with the voice overflowing, there was a long thin streak of blood. I don't know when he was injured internally. It looked very serious, and the blood streak at the corner of his mouth was flowing more and more.

Ren Pengfei stood still, Xiao Jiang tilted his head slightly, grinned wider, and said, "Idiot! I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot!" The hoarse and rough voice kept repeating. The blood gushed out faster, but he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, as if as long as he was in front of Ren Pengfei, all pain would disappear.

Ren Pengfei looked at this person without blinking, so strange but so unforgettable.His eyes couldn't see anything else, and his ears were buzzing constantly. At some point, someone seemed to be beside him and asked, "City Master Ren, do you know this person?"

Ren Pengfei blinked his eyes slowly, and shook his head lightly: "No, I've never seen it before..."

What he said made Xiao Jiang's squinted eyes suddenly open, and the repeated voice became louder and weaker: "I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot——"

Who is laughing loudly, very harsh.

"You are indeed an idiot, you ran to the door to die yourself!"

"There is no one more stupid than you!"

"Hahaha!"

Countless people wanted to pull Xiao Jiang away, and countless fists landed on him, but his hands were firmly grasping Ren Pengfei, and his eyes were fixed on Ren Pengfei, so red that he was about to bleed.

I don't know who swung a meteor hammer and smashed it hard on Xiao Jiang's arm, with a crisp sound, his hand finally let go, but the other hand refused to give up and stretched out again, and the result was the same crisp sound. With a loud noise, both hands hang down feebly...

After the strength on his wrist was released, Ren Pengfei seemed to be able to breathe finally, turned his head, saw that Zhou Yan had already stood beside him, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm a little tired. take a break."

Zhou Yan didn't doubt that he was there, so he immediately asked someone to bring Ren Pengfei in.

Just when Ren Pengfei turned around to leave, seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Jiang dragged his hands and tried to crawl over with difficulty, but was pulled back by one foot by the people around him, watching him getting closer and closer to him. For the people far away, Xiao Jiang couldn't bear it any longer, and roared into the sky. This sound pierced the sky. The shrill and desperate sound shook people's ears and made Ren Pengfei stop, but he continued on without turning his head.

Looking at his receding back, Xiao Jiang, who was being dragged further and further away, spattered out a mouthful of blood, instantly staining the cold ground red.

"Jiangnan—" The voice was already hoarse, but regardless of the tearing of the throat and the blood stains on the face, he desperately called the figure who was far away.

"The scent of garden flowers...the letter is still shallow...the most jade...the building...the first warm...mengjuechun...quilt...Jiangnan...still far away..."

He remembered everything he said and everything he did to him clearly, but why didn't he look back at him, why?

"...Jiangnan...is still far away..."

He searched hard and finally found it, but he left without looking back.

When the dream woke up, he disappeared without a trace. Now the dream has woken up, and he is determined to leave.

Countless people surrounded him and finally completely blocked his sight. His whole body was already numb with pain. When he closed his eyes, a blood-red teardrop slipped from the corner of his eyes and dripped down.

Ren Pengfei heard his Jiangnan, but pretended not to hear, and closed his dark eyes wearily in a place where others could not see.

The servants of the Zhou Mansion took Ren Pengfei into the guest room, and asked him if he had any other orders, did he need to wash up?Ren Pengfei declined one by one, saying that he just wanted to rest. After the servants retreated and gently closed the door for him, he looked at the closed door, but Ren Pengfei just stood there and didn't move for a long time.

The wound on the lower abdomen that had already healed was aching again, and the hand couldn't help stroking the painful place, and the past happened again.

I never thought that he looked stupid, but he still remembered every word he said, and he recited the entire obscure sentence after only listening to it once.

If you need someone to accompany you after being alone for a long time, why do you still go to find him after you have seen the hustle and bustle of the world after finally getting out of the valley?

Ren Pengfei didn't understand, it was like he decided to redeem Huaining but never saw her again, and only sent someone to send a letter to let her good birds live elsewhere. He thought it was for her good, but Huaining replied with his letter. The precious beaded hairpin that was once given to her showed that they had broken up with each other, and they were never seen again.

Ren Pengfei walked slowly to the chair in front of the window and sat down. He sat for several hours until sunset, when his subordinate knocked on the door and told him that the dinner had been delivered.

Xiaojiang, who was locked up again, did not die, but he was only half a step away from death. Not only was he covered in blood, his limbs and bones were also broken, and he was thrown on the wet and smelly ground like garbage, lying there , motionless, only a trace of breath remained.

People in the martial arts did not take his life right away, but regarded him as a wedding gift for Zhou Motan, the son of Zhou Yan.

Bai Yan didn't hear about Xiao Jiang's break-in to the main altar of the Wulin League until the evening. When she knew that Xiao Jiang had been beaten to death and locked up in the dungeon, she had already instinctively rushed out of the house. Her elder brother Ye Qingcheng was even faster. With one step, he blocked the door with his body to block her way.

"Junior Sister, do you want to sneak away and let him go again?"

Bai Yan was startled, and looked at Ye Qingcheng with a livid face.

Ye Qingcheng glared at her: "That Xiaojiang killed Master, it was your father-killing enemy, you don't want to take revenge, so forget it, but you still want to let him go, aren't you afraid that Master will die in peace?"

Bai Yan's face was pale, her body was weak, and she didn't know what she said: "No...Senior Brother...No...No..."

Seeing her in such pain, Ye Qingcheng couldn't bear to be harsher, grabbed her arm and led her into the house: "Junior Sister, it's late at night, you go to rest, Senior Brother will accompany you."

Bai Yan's heart was too confused, she let Ye Qingcheng lead her into the house helplessly.

When Ye Qingcheng helped her make the bed and turned around to tell her to sleep, he found that she was crying silently.Ye Qingcheng couldn't help being distressed, and reached out to help her wipe away tears, when he was about to touch her, he suddenly heard her crying: "Senior brother...Xiaojiang wouldn't do such a thing...it must be him, what did he do to Xiaojiang first... "

Ye Qingcheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, a cold and gloomy mood instantly occupied the whole atrium, Bai Yan continued to say: "Brother, Xiao Jiang was injured so badly...he will die...I don't want him to die..."

Ye Qingcheng endured and endured, and finally resisted the urge to slap her awake. He widened his eyes and scolded fiercely: "Fuck you, Xiao Jiang! What kind of drug did he give you to make you feel like this? Do you still remember? He killed your father, killed your own father, and you still speak for him and want to save him, you are obsessed by ghosts, aren’t you! "

Bai Yan's eyes were full of tears, her voice was so choked up that she couldn't say a complete sentence: "Senior Brother..."

Ye Qingcheng was so angry that he slapped his palm on the bed, Bai Yan resolutely turned around and left at this moment, Ye Qingcheng looked at her walking away in disbelief, his eyes were tearing apart.

He was so angry that he lost all reason, and when Ye Qingcheng woke up, he found that the little junior sister whom he had always loved and cherished in his heart was lying naked under him, and his voice was already hoarse and his eyes were swollen from crying.

The remorse and guilt that surged up in his heart only stayed in his heart for a moment, and then gradually dissipated. No matter what, he finally got it, didn't he?

From then on, he loved her even more, cared for her, and made up for her with his whole life.

In the dead of night, when the moon was covered by black clouds and the sky was silent, the guards outside the dungeon were lying on the ground staggeringly. Several men in black stood in front of Xiao Jiang, who was breathing faintly. People who looked exactly the same in appearance and clothes were placed where Xiao Jiang had been lying.

In just a cup of tea, the man in black disappeared as silently as when he came. In the dungeon, another Xiaojiang was also lying dying on the cold and wet ground.

The next day is Zhou Motan's big day. After the bride welcomes her and pays her respects, she is not sent to the bridal chamber, but goes to the martial arts competition stage with all the martial artists who came to drink wedding wine to watch the villain Xiao Jiang being tortured.

Xiao Jiang, who was dressed in black, smelly and bloody clothes, was tied to a wooden pole, his body was limp, and he didn't say a word, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.There are piles of dry firewood underneath, Zhou Yan sits high on it, glances at the newcomer beside him with satisfaction, looks up at the sun, the time has come, as soon as he raises his hand, someone immediately pours oil on the firewood, and waits for him to put his hand down , The lighted torch was thrown into the firewood pile.

The bride's hijab had been removed, and the scene in front of her made her cover her nose and mouth in a little shock. Zhou Motan, who was dressed in red and facing the wind, reached out and patted her on the back, as if silently comforting her.

Ren Pengfei hid in a corner, and the people in the stands had various expressions, some sympathized, some disdained, some watched the show, and some didn't think so, but they didn't know what kind of face he was?Ren Pengfei didn't look at the people on the stage from the beginning to the end, and when the torch completely engulfed them, he turned and left.

When the people on the stage were burnt to a pile of ashes and the people in the audience scattered, Bai Yan ran down the stage with her hair disheveled, crying until she passed out, and Ye Qingcheng, who was standing silently behind her, came up. Carry her back.

The breeze blew past, blowing up the dust that hadn't been cleaned up in time, and scattered it around, as if someone was sighing silently, it was just a farce.

Ferry City——

A carriage stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary mansion, and the servants who had been guarding outside were about to go up to greet him, but the people in the carriage rushed down impatiently, and before they could see clearly, they had already disappeared Outside the door, there was only a faint fragrance left.

When this beautiful figure that does not conceal her youthful appearance hurriedly appeared outside a hut, everyone who saw her lowered their heads and called softly, "Mrs. Hua."

"Where are people?"

"Inside the house, still asleep."

Immediately the door opened with a creak, and the charming woman walked into the room and walked straight to the bed. First, she looked at the face of the person on the bed. After washing, the face was almost like hers. Trembling.After she managed to stabilize her heartbeat, she signaled to the others, and someone immediately stepped forward and unbuttoned the sleepy man's shirt, and carefully turned him over to face them, with scars of different sizes all over the body, the woman's eyes were reddish.

"Three inches below the shoulder blade..."

The madam muttered silently, compared them carefully with her hands, then took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out the liquid in the bottle on the place where the comparison was made on her back, and wiped it lightly with a silk scarf a few times, soon, a lotus-shaped red birthmark gradually appeared. emerge.

Looking at the birthmark, Madam couldn't help but threw herself on his body and wept vigorously.

"Mother, mother finally found you!"

Seeing the child's wounds all over his body and his pale face, the woman's heart was pierced like a knife. She gritted her teeth and said vigorously: "Use the best medicine, ask the best doctor, he must be cured, he must be cured!"

When the rain is the most abundant in February, a carriage drove slowly through the long bluestone corridor in the misty rain.At the deepest part of the corridor is a towering and majestic city tower. On the nine-meter-high gate of the tower, the three characters "Du'e City" on a black background soaked in rainwater are vigorous and powerful.

When the next person knocked on the door of the study, Ren Pengfei was discussing some important matters in the city with his subordinates inside.

If there is something important to explain to his subordinates, Ren Pengfei has always told his subordinates not to come and disturb them if it is not necessary, but now that the matter is at an important point, he is interrupted, no matter how cautiously he knocks on the door, it will also attract Ren Pengfei displeasure.

Ren Pengfei lowered his voice and asked through the door, "What's the matter?"

The voice from outside the door was extremely cautious, "City Lord, someone wants to see you."

Ren Pengfei couldn't help but concentrate: "Who?"

As the lord of the first city in the Central Plains, there was an endless stream of people who came to see him every day. Unless necessary, he would not go to receive him in person, otherwise the mere reception would exhaust him to death.And the servant guarding outside the study room is not only trustworthy, but also has been with him for more than five or six years. He is familiar with every habit of him, and knows that unless the visitor is prominent or important, he should not come to inform him. The person in charge can deal with it casually.

Now that he heard the message from his subordinates directly, Ren Pengfei couldn't help but wonder which important person would come to visit him early in the morning.

The people outside the house paused for a moment before answering: "City Master, the person who came here didn't give his name, and the steward couldn't recognize who this person is."

Another frown appeared between Ren Pengfei's brows: "I don't know the identity of the visitor, so you came here to report?"

The voice outside the house became more urgent: "City Master, this person is so weird that no one can stop her. Anyone who approached her fainted out of nowhere. If she didn't know the way, she would probably force her way into the inner courtyard."

"What?" Ren Pengfei's eyes froze, he stood up from the chair, and immediately someone ran to open the door of the study with sharp eyes.

Ren Pengfei approached the servant who came to report, and asked, "Where is this person now?"

"In the Luoshui Pavilion in the front yard."

Ren Pengfei stepped out of the house, and continued: "How many people are here, are they male or female?"

"Two people. The one who broke in was a woman in her thirties, carrying a child on her back. The child was wrapped tightly, so I couldn't see clearly."

"Woman?" Ren Pengfei paused, something fleeting in his eyes, "What did she say?"

The servants who followed him hurriedly shook their heads: "City Master, this woman seems to be unable to speak, and she keeps gesticulating all the time. It takes a long time for everyone to understand what she wants to say."

Hearing this, Ren Pengfei couldn't help but slow down, just as the servants were suspicious, he started striding towards Luoshui Pavilion again.

When Ren Pengfei saw the person standing in the pavilion with a small figure on his back to hide from the drizzle, he stopped unknowingly. He guessed right, the person who came was the only disciple of Grandma Ghost, who once brought Ren Pengfei and the others together. The dumb girl who has entered the valley of all evil.

Dumb girl raised her head and saw Ren Pengfei standing in the drizzle. She couldn't help pursing her chapped lips, and reached out to caress the strap wrapped around her body.

Ren Pengfei took a few steps closer to her, and finally saw the pale and unconcealed exhaustion on Mute Aunt's face. He clenched and loosened his hands by his side, and waved back behind the other people guarding the courtyard. Step into the pavilion.

Just when Ren Pengfei was hesitating whether to ask why the dumb aunt came to him, whether it was the order of the ghost mother-in-law, or whether the ghost mother-in-law remembered something and planned to continue to torture him, the dumb aunt lowered her head and loosened the straps wrapped around her body. , and then turned his back to Ren Pengfei, motioning for him to catch the person on his back.

Ren Pengfei had no choice but to keep his words in his stomach first, and reached out to pick up the child on Dumb Aunt's back. When the child's body fell into Ren Pengfei's arms, his first thought was, how light it was.

She couldn't help but lower her head to look at the child in her arms, only to see tightly pursed pale lips and a pointed chin, and a face no bigger than a palm was mostly covered by long black hair.

The dumb aunt leaned forward, stretched out her hand and brushed aside the hair covering the child's face, so that the child's face was fully exposed in the air, took a last deep look, and caressed the little face with nostalgia, the dumb aunt looked up at Ren Pengfei , there was a little light of hope in his eyes.

Ren Pengfei didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the child's small face, even though it was as pale as paper, even though it was emaciated, the child's delicate features could still be seen.

Ren Pengfei's hands trembled uncontrollably, and after a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "This is... what's going on..."

Aunt Dumb looked at the child sadly, and told him with gestures that the child was seriously injured, and she had tried everything she could but could not save her. I hope he can find a way to save this child.

"Where is the ghost mother..."

The dumb aunt's eyes were red, and she endured it for a long time before reaching out her hand and answering: "She's dead."

The three words "she died" really shocked Ren Pengfei, he stared blankly at the dumb girl, and asked after a long while, "How did she die?"

The ghost mother-in-law's poison and medical skills are so clever that Ren Pengfei almost made Ren Pengfei forget that she is still a person, a person who will suffer, grow old and die.Now that he heard the news of her death, he felt unbelievable for a while.

Enduring her grief, the dumb aunt told Ren Pengfei with difficulty that the ghost mother-in-law was first drained of her true energy, and when she was dying, her neck was strangled to death.

The dumb aunt mentioned that the ghost mother-in-law was drained of her true energy, which inexplicably reminded Ren Pengfei of the death of Bai Chuan, the head of the Qingshan School, eight months ago.Thinking up to this point, Ren Pengfei already understood most of it. During the time in the Valley of Evils, he saw that the ghost mother-in-law was very strict with that person. He would rather die at the bottom of the valley than let him go out. It's not that he doesn't stop, but that there is no way to stop him.

The child in her arms coughed suddenly, and the dumb aunt nervously took out a bottle from her arms, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into the child's small mouth. After seeing Ren Pengfei's slightly frowning eyebrows, she told him, This is the elixir she found from the ghost mother-in-law, which can prolong the life of the child, but now, there are not many pills left.

Ren Pengfei then carried the child to the courtyard where he lived, and asked the dumb aunt to follow behind him.During the period, he called his servants to invite the doctors from the city, and by the way, cleaned up the Ming Pavilion next door to Ningxuan.Ren Pengfei put the child gently on the bed when he walked into the room. Ren Chengfei, who had heard the news earlier, had already sneaked over, looking up and down the child on the bed curiously.

"elder brother!"

"Huh?" Ren Pengfei carefully covered the child with a quilt.

"You shouldn't be!" Ren Chengfei sighed deeply and patted his brother on the shoulder, "You actually let your daughter and my niece live outside for so many years."

If Ren Chengfei usually made such an inconspicuous joke, Ren Pengfei would definitely glance at him helplessly, but at this time, he just stared at the child lying on the bed speechlessly. Suspicion suddenly soared to [-]%.

He leaned over suspiciously, and carefully looked at the little girl's eyebrows for a while: "Brother, could it be that she is really your daughter?"

Ren Pengfei said indifferently: "How did you see that?"

Ren Chengfei looked up at him again, with his mouth open enough to swallow an egg.

Ren Pengfei reached out to help him close his chin: "Say!"

It took Ren Chengfei a while to recover his voice, pointing at the little girl and saying, "Don't you think she looks a lot like you?"

"Where does it look like?" Ren Pengfei looked down intently.

"The mouth, nose, and ears are quite similar. In short, it looks like...Brother, is she really your daughter?"

No wonder Ren Chengfei didn't believe it, even though his elder brother is the lord of the city, he has always kept himself clean, he is over thirty years old, and apart from having a close relationship with the famous prostitute Huaining in the capital, he has never been involved with any other women. Clear relationship, not to mention wives and concubines, not even a housemate.Just when Ren Chengfei was wondering if his brother, who was pure-hearted and ascetic, would live forever in old age, a five- or six-year-old daughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere, how could he not be shocked.

Ren Pengfei looked away from the child, sighed imperceptibly, and said to his younger brother, "Her name is Qingqing."

He didn't admit it directly, but after hearing what he said, Ren Chengfei also had a bottom line in his heart.

"Brother, who is the child's mother, why don't you take her back to the city together?"

Ren Pengfei didn't answer, just when Ren Chengfei couldn't bear to ask again, the doctor came.

The doctor who was on duty in Du'e City was naturally superb in medical skills.
