Although Shi Feng was sent back to the county government office after finishing the trial of the so-called "case" for Wen Liunian, he has been paying attention to what's going on here, and even sent a team of government officials over to help - after all, a The small town has been troubled by ghosts for more than a year, but the government has not acted for a long time. At least I have to bear the crime of dereliction of duty, and I still have to try my best to win back some favors.
Wen Liunian did not refuse anyone who came, so he immediately sent the yamen servants to the medical clinic in the town, and respectfully invited the old doctor with a white beard to the inn.
When the people heard the news, they were concerned, asking if it was because the Lord was sick
"It's not an adult, it's a little baby I picked up." The dark guard leaned against the door of the inn with his sword in his arms, letting the sun rise all over his body, his expression was cold, and he was as handsome as ever.
The people just thought it was an abandoned baby picked up by everyone on the road, and they didn't think it was strange, so they asked a few more questions and then dispersed. The town is very small, and there are not many things to talk about after dinner, so this can naturally be counted as one, and it quickly spread all over the streets and alleys.
The old doctor stayed in the inn for a whole day and night, but instead of curing the little baby, it seemed that his condition became more serious, because the next day, the other two doctors in the town were also invited away by the yamen servants, and even the little boy who picked herbs The servant also followed along, saying that the doll seemed to be suffering from some serious illness, had a fever all the time, and cried like a milk cat, and it seemed that it was about to be overwhelmed.
Although it is just an abandoned baby picked up, it is also a human life. When people mention it again, they will inevitably sigh, complaining that their parents only care about giving birth and not raising them. If they had not been abandoned, maybe they would not have died so early.
On the third day, the doctors all went back to the clinic. When someone asked about it, they said that the baby might not survive these two days, and they only hoped for a good pregnancy in the next life.
Another day later, Wen Liunian was reading a book in the bedroom at dusk, when there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the window, a white figure was forced to the corner by the hidden guards, and he lost the wind after a few moves. I saw a woman in her twenties with quite upright facial features.
"Is it your child?" Wen Liunian walked down the stairs with the baby in his arms.
The woman didn't know where the strength came from, as soon as she pushed the hidden guard away, she rushed over, hugged the baby into her arms, and hurriedly pulled the quilt away.
"He's fine." Wen Liunian said, "Miss, don't worry."
The little baby clasped his hands together, looked at her with a smile, his cheeks were puffy, and he looked half sick.
Tears welled up in the eyes of the woman, holding the child close to her face, her lips trembling slightly, she refused to let go for even a moment.
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, girl, come in and sit down." Wen Liunian turned slightly to make way for her.
The little baby yawned lazily and dozed off with his eyes closed.
The woman hesitated for a moment, but followed.
After entering the room, Mu Qingshan took the doll, put it in the small cradle and cuddled it to sleep.
"What is the relationship between the girl and this child?" Wen Liunian poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.
The woman bit her lower lip, but still did not speak.
"Willing to send the child here shows that the girl still believes in me." Wen Liunian said, "If that's the case, why don't you just explain the matter clearly? If there is indeed something hidden and the girl has difficulties, I will naturally adopt this child , let him grow up without worrying about food and clothing."
The temptation of this condition is not small. Looking at the little face sleeping soundly in the cradle, and thinking about the days of eating and sleeping in the mountains, the woman finally said: "This is my son."
"What's going on?" Wen Liunian's voice was very soft.
"My real name is Lan Xue. I used to live with my aunt in Yunhua City in the south of the Yangtze River." The woman said, "Two years ago, there was a sudden disaster at home. A group of villains came. They chopped down the door without any explanation in the middle of the night. The whole family of my aunt and my husband died tragically. Under the knife, I was the only one who escaped by pretending to be dead."
It was another massacre, and the room was silent. Wen Liunian sighed in his heart: "Miss, do you know who the other party is?"
"After the gang of thieves left, my aunt was still breathing, and she insisted on letting me go to Qijue Country in Moxi, saying that my mother might be there." Lan Xue said, "And said that if you see my mother, tell her Be careful, Qingqiu."
"Who?!" Wen Liunian suddenly stood up.
The rest of the people also looked at each other, this...
Lan Xue was taken aback, and said after a long time: "Qingqiu."
"That Qingqiu in Donghai?" Wen Liunian asked again.
"I don't know." Lan Xue said, "After my aunt finished speaking, she took her last breath. I have never met my mother in all these years. I only know that she is in a foreign country, but I don't know that she is in Qijue Country."
"May I ask the name of Lingtang?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Shu Caixuan." Lan Xue said.
Wen Liunian's eyes lit up slightly, Caixuan
"I was brought up by my aunt since I was a child, and I know very little about my mother. I only know that she is good at martial arts, so I learned some kung fu." Lan Xue looked gloomy, "But I still can't protect my family."
"So the girl is planning to go to Qijue Country?" Wen Liunian asked.
Lan Xue nodded: "The government can't control the affairs of the Jianghu. I was pregnant for a month at the time. In order to leave a bloodline for my husband, I planned to go to the Qijue Kingdom to find my mother first, and then talk about revenge after giving birth. It's just that When passing through this Yaojia Town, I found that someone has been following me."
"The murderer from that night?" Wen Liunian frowned slightly.
"Yeah." Lan Xue nodded, "Maybe they deliberately let me go that night, so they followed me all the way, so as to find mother's trace."
The little baby started to babble and cry, before Lan Xue could pick him up, the dark guard brought a bowl of rice porridge and handed it to Mu Qingshan to feed him a little bit.
"Thank you sir." Lan Xue was grateful.
"Miss, you're welcome." Mu Qingshan smiled, "This little doll is very obedient, everyone likes it very much."
"Yes, yes." The dark guards nodded one after another, and they still liked being peed all over!
"So the girl didn't go to Qijue Country again?" Wen Liunian asked.
"As long as you hurry, you will inevitably be exposed." Lan Xue said, "So I found a way to hide in the mountains and gave birth to this child there."
"Miss is suffering." Wen Liunian said, "But what else do you know? It's best to tell them all, so that we can seek justice for you."
"Does your lord know who Qingqiu is?" Lan Xue asked.
Wen Liunian nodded: "I heard some news before, it is said that he is the leader of the East China Sea cult."
"But I don't know." Lan Xue said, "My aunt almost never mentions my mother, she treats me like her own child, and the family lives in an ordinary and stable life. Before that night, I never knew that there was such a way to destroy the family Resentment. My aunt left before she finished speaking, and I wanted to go to the Qijue Kingdom to find my mother, and I wanted to find out what the bloody hatred was behind this."
"That girl probably didn't know me before." Wen Liunian said, "Why are you willing to send the child here?"
Lan Xue's eyes were red: "Last month, he fell ill, so I had to venture out of the mountain, pretending to be a foreigner and go to the hospital to seek medical treatment, so I survived." How long can such a small doll last
"When I was in the medical center, I heard big guys saying that you are a good official, and that you will come to Yaojia Town in a while, and that there are martial arts masters accompanying you all the way." Lan Xue said, "I also thought about it before. I gave my child to someone in the town, but I was afraid of attracting thieves and harming the family instead, so... "
Wen Liunian said: "So you gave it to me at a risk?"
"My lord, forgive me." Lan Xue knelt down on the ground with a puff.
"What are you doing, miss?" Wen Liunian hurriedly helped her up.
Lan Xue burst into tears and said: "I also have nothing to do, thinking that the adults are honest and upright, and there are experts around, the other party should not be able to hurt the adults, so I sent the child here."
"It's right to send it." Wen Liunian said, "If you don't send it, you will be considered guilty."
"Is that gang of thieves still in the city?" Zhao Yue asked.
"I don't know." Lan Xue shook her head, "Since I hid in the mountains, I have never come out again. I only go out at night to steal some food. I am afraid that the government will search the mountains, so I found some white gauze to pretend to be a ghost." Yue said the voice The lower it is, after all, stealing is not right no matter what the reason is.
The baby was full and fell into a deep sleep again. Wen Liunian picked him up and handed him to the woman's arms: "It's getting late, girl, let's rest here for a night, we'll talk about things tomorrow."
Lan Xue nodded: "Thank you, sir."
Zhao Yue booked the entire inn, but there were still two vacant guest rooms. After Lan Xue carried her son back to the room, the rest of the people also went back to rest. Zhao Yue poured a cup of hot water for him: "You know just now Who is this Miss Lan's mother?"
"See it?" Wen Liunian said, "Godfather didn't even notice."
"Because I'm close to you." Zhao Yue scratched his nose.
Wen Liunian pouted, why can't it be you who get close to me.
Can't even talk about love.
"Who is Shu Caixuan?" Zhao Yue held him in his arms.
"I don't know who Shu Caixuan is, but I do know that there was a maid named Caixuan beside Baihe back then." Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue frowned slightly.
"I also learned about this name from a little story book earlier." Wen Liunian said, "It is said that he has a lot of punches and kicks. When he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he repelled many unruly disciples. Later, When we arrive in Wangcheng, the rumors will still show up with this name from time to time, it is said that he and Bai He are sisters, and the two are very close."
Zhao Yue's heart moved, and a thought suddenly flashed through.
"If this Miss Lanxue's mother was really Caixuan back then, maybe she would know a lot of inside stories." Wen Liunian said what he thought in his heart, "Perhaps there will be one less mystery about King Daming."
Zhao Yue nodded hesitantly.
"Tomorrow morning we will discuss with our godfather." Wen Liunian put his arms around his neck, "Look, it seems that even God is helping us."
"Are you sure it's a help?" Zhao Yue pressed his forehead against him, "Some things, maybe it's better not to know than to know."
"So it's good to go with fate, investigate if you have clues, and continue to be happy if you don't have any clues." Wen Liunian said, "This is called being happy with the situation."
Zhao Yue smiled: "Correct."
Wen Liunian lay on his shoulder and yawned: "I'll talk about it tomorrow, sleep now."
Zhao Yue called for hot water, wiped his body for him, and then tucked himself into the bed: "I lost weight."
"Really?" Wen Liunian was surprised, stretched out his hands to pinch his stomach, and then pinched his buttocks.
"Yes." Zhao Yue said, "I used to be fleshy, but recently my waist has become thinner."
"Then eat more tomorrow morning." Wen Liunian made up his mind.
"It's not that you eat less, it's that you worry too much." Zhao Yue hugged him into his arms, "I don't want you to be so tired."
Wen Liunian agreed perfunctorily, and then thought seriously in the dark that tomorrow morning he must eat three golden and crispy big fires, plus double portions of braised pork.
They ate banquets in their dreams all night, and the next morning until the sun rose three poles, their bedroom was still quiet. Zhou Dingtian blew his beard, stood up and planned to call someone, young people have to limit their mischief, and they didn't even come to eat breakfast.
"Senior Zhou." Lu Zhui hurriedly blocked him, "Why don't I order another bowl of bean curd?"
"Go tell him to come down." Zhou Dingtian pointed upstairs.
"Shall I go?" Lu Zhui had a bitter face, so it's better not to, in case you see something you shouldn't see, besides, you might be beaten by the boss.
"If you don't want to go, I will." Zhou Dingtian walked upstairs.
While gnawing on the steamed buns, Mu Qingshan stretched his neck curiously.
"It's going to be eaten in the nose." Shang Yunze shook his head.
Mu Qingshan said: "I want to see it too."
Shang Yunze's face darkened: "Don't watch this kind of thing!"
Mu Qingshan let out a muffled "Oh", lowered his head and continued to eat the buns.
Just want to see.
Shang Yunze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he filled a spoonful of oil tea and blew it cool to feed it.
"Little Liuzi!" Zhou Dingtian pushed open the door.
Wen Liunian screamed and rushed back to the bed in an instant.
Zhou Dingtian quickly closed the door, the dark guard came late and didn't see anything, so he scratched his head, how could senior do this, close the door after reading it by himself, we must protest.
"Senior?" Seeing his colorful expression, Lu Zhui was also a little puzzled, what did he see, just now he glanced at it, the head seemed to be neatly dressed and sitting at the table, doing nothing.
Zhou Dingtian calmly turned and went downstairs: "Let's go, go back to eat."
Wen Liunian sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, shocked and said: "Why did my godfather come in when I was about to take a bath?!"
Zhao Yue helped him pick up the clothes on the ground, and comforted him, "It's not a big deal."
It's not a big deal, but it's scary, so whoever it is. Wen Liunian's heart was beating wildly.
Be sure to put a big lock on the door next time!
