Chapter 11 The tenth murder

Ye Kai stood in the dark, under the starlight, like a stone statue, a cold stone statue. Ma Fangling also saw him, struggled immediately, rushed over, threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, cried bitterly, couldn't even utter a word. Ye Kai didn't speak either. At such times, consolation and persuasion are superfluous. He just took off his long gown and put it on her body wordlessly. At this moment, Fu Hongxue had already grasped his knife, turned over, and stared at Ye Kai, his eyes didn't know whether it was anger or embarrassment. Ye Kai didn't even look at him at all.

Fu Hongxue gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I'm going to kill you!" Ye Kai still ignored him. Fu Hongxue suddenly swung his knife and rushed towards him. Although one of his legs was crippled, even though his leg was still bleeding, but when he stretched out his body, he was still as nimble as a bird and as fierce as a tiger or leopard. No one can imagine that a cripple can act so swiftly and swiftly. No one can describe the speed and power of this knife! "I'm going to kill you!" No one can describe the speed and power of this knife, the light of the knife has already slashed towards Ye Kai like lightning.

Ye Kai didn't move. Before the light of the knife struck, it suddenly stopped. Fu Hongxue stared at him, the hand holding the knife gradually trembled, turned around suddenly, bent down, and vomited suddenly. Ye Kai still didn't look at him, but his eyes showed sympathy and pity. He knew this boy better than anyone else, because he had also experienced the same suffering and pain. Ma Fangling was still crying. He patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "You go back first." Ma Fangling said: "You...you won't see me off?" Ye Kai said: "I can't see you off."

Ma Fangling said, "Why?" Ye Kai said: "I still want to stay here." Ma Fangling bit her lip hard and said, "Then I too..." Ye Kai said: "You must go back, sleep well, forget what happened today, and tomorrow..." Ma Fangling looked up at him, her eyes full of expectation and longing, and said, "Will you come to see me tomorrow?" The expression in Ye Kai's eyes was very strange. After a long time, he said slowly, "Of course I will visit you." Ma Fangling held his hand tightly, tears slowly flowed down again, and said sadly: "Even if you don't go, I don't blame you."

She turned around suddenly, covered her face and ran away. Her cries were drowned out by the gust of wind in the blink of an eye. The sound of horseshoes has also gone away, and the world has returned to silence, but the earth is like a frying pan, under which there is still an invisible and inaudible flame burning, tormenting its people. Fu Hongxue vomited until his whole body was bent. Ye Kai looked at him quietly, and when he finished vomiting, he suddenly said coldly: "You can still kill me now." Fu Hongxue bent over, rushed a few steps, picked up his scabbard, and rushed forward.

He rushed a long way in one breath, and then stopped, looking up at the sky, exchanging blood and tears on his face. His whole body seemed to be about to collapse. But Ye Kai also followed him, was behind him, looked at him quietly, and said coldly, "Why don't you do it?" Fu Hongxue's hand holding the knife began to tremble again, and he suddenly turned around, glared at him, and hissed, "You must force me?" Ye Kai said: "No one is forcing you, you are pushing yourself, and you are pushing too hard." His words were like a whip, lashing Fu Hongxue heavily.

Ye Kai continued slowly: "I know you need to vent, you must be much more comfortable now." Fu Hongxue clenched his hands tightly and said, "What else do you know?" Ye Kai smiled and said, "I also know that you will never kill me, nor do you want to kill me." Fu Hongxue said, "I don't want to." Ye Kai said: "Maybe the only person you really want to hurt is yourself, because you..." Fu Hongxue's eyes revealed pain, and he suddenly shouted, "Shut up!" Ye Kai sighed, but continued, saying: "Although you consciously did something wrong, these things are actually not your fault."

Fu Hongxue said, "Whose fault is it?" Ye Kai stared at him and said, "You should know who it is...Of course you do." Fu Hongxue's pupils were shrinking, and he suddenly said loudly, "Who are you?" Ye Kai smiled again, and said lightly: "I am me, my surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Kai." Fu Hongxue said sharply, "Your real surname is Ye?" Ye Kai said: "Your real surname is Fu?" The two stared at each other, as if they both wanted to see into each other's heart and dig out the secrets in each other's heart. It's just that Ye Kai is always relaxed and calm, but Fu Hongxue is always tense like a taut bow.

Then they suddenly heard a very strange sound at the same time, as if it was the sound of a horse's hoof stepping on the mud, or as if a butcher was chopping meat. The voice was originally very soft, but the night was too quiet, and the ears of the two of them were too sharp.And that's where the wind blows from. Ye Kai suddenly said: "I didn't come here to find you." Fu Hongxue said, "Who are you looking for?" Ye Kai said: "The person who killed the flying spider." Fu Hongxue said, "Do you know who it is?" Ye Kai said: "I'm not sure, I'm going to find out now."

He turned over and ran a few feet away, then stopped again, as if he was waiting for Fu Hongxue. Fu Hongxue hesitated, but finally chased after him. Ye Kai smiled and said, "I knew you would come." Fu Hongxue said, "Why?" Ye Kai said: "Because everything that happened here may have something to do with you." Fu Hongxue's people tensed again, and said, "Do you know who I am?" Ye Kai smiled and said, "You are you, your surname is Fu, and your name is Fu Hongxue." The wind was blowing, and the noise had stopped. Fu Hongxue tightly shut his mouth and stopped talking, and kept the same speed as Ye Kai.

His qinggong and agility are very strange, very light, and unexpectedly very graceful. When he performed lightness kung fu, no one could see that he was a cripple who was injured. Ye Kai had been paying attention to him, and suddenly sighed, "You seem to have been practicing martial arts since you were born." Fu Hongxue kept a straight face, and said coldly, "What about you?" Ye laughed and said, "I'm different." Fu Hongxue said, "What's the difference?" Ye Kaidao: "I am a genius." Fu Hongxue sneered, and said, "Geniuses die quickly." Ye Kai said lightly: "It's a good thing sometimes to die quickly." Fu Hongxue's eyes showed pain again. "I can't die, absolutely can't die..." He kept shouting in his heart. Then he heard Ye Kai suddenly let out a soft cry. The strong wind was suddenly full of bloody smell again, and the bleak starlight illuminated a pile of dead bodies. In this prairie, human life seems to have become worthless like cattle and horses. A big pit was dug next to the corpse, but it was not deep, and there were seven or eight shovels beside it. It was obvious that after they killed someone, they were about to bury the body, but they found someone coming, so they retreated in a hurry. Who is the murderer? No one knows. It was Murong Mingzhu and his nine young swordsmen who were killed.Murong Mingzhu's sword has been drawn, but these nine people were murdered before even drawing out their swords. Ye Kai sighed, and murmured: "Shoot so fast, so viciously!" If it is not an expert in killing, how could there be such a quick and vicious shot. Fu Hongxue clenched his hands tightly, as if he was getting excited again, he seemed very afraid of seeing dead people and blood. Ye Kai didn't care. He suddenly took out a rag from his body, with a button attached to it. This rag was made of the same material as the clothes on Murong Mingzhu's body, and the buttons were of the same shape. Ye Kai let out a long sigh and said, "It really is him." Fu Hongxue frowned, obviously not understanding. Ye Kai said: "I took this piece of rag from the flying spider, and he still held it tightly until his death." Fu Hongxue said, "Why?" Ye Kaidao: "Because Murong Mingzhu is the murderer who killed him! He wants to tell others the secret." Fu Hongxue said, "Tell you? Want you to avenge him?" Ye Kai said: "He didn't want to tell me." Fu Hongxue said, "Who does he want to tell?" Ye Kai sighed and said, "I also wish I could know." Fu Hongxue said, "Why did Murong Mingzhu kill him?" Ye Kai shook his head. Fu Hongxue said, "How could he be in that coffin?" Ye Kai shook his head again, Fu Hongxue said, "Who killed Murong Mingzhu again?" Ye Kai murmured, and said: "I only know that the person who killed Murong Mingzhu did it to silence his mouth." Fu Hongxue said, "Shut up?" Ye Kaidao: "Because this person doesn't want others to find out that the flying spider died in the hands of Murong Mingzhu, and he doesn't want others to find Murong Mingzhu." Fu Hongxue said, "Why?" Ye Kaidao: "Because he is afraid that others will find out the relationship between him and Murong Mingzhu." Fu Hongxue said, "You can't guess who he is?" Ye Kai suddenly stopped talking, as if he had fallen into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "Do you know that Yun Zaitian went to look for you this afternoon?" Fu Hongxue said, "I don't know." Ye Kai said: "He said he went to look for you, but when he saw you, he didn't even say a word." Fu Hongxue said, "Because he's not looking for me at all!" Ye Kai nodded, and said: "Yes, of course he is not looking for you, but who is he looking for? - Xiao Bieli? Cui Nong? If he is looking for these two people, why would he lie?" The wind is getting stronger. The yellow sand is all over the sky, the weeds are weeping, the sky is like a black jade studded with diamonds, brilliant and beautiful, but the earth is gloomy and sad. Occasionally a horse neighed or two in the wind, but it made the field even more lonely and vast. Fu Hongxue walked slowly in front, and Ye Kai followed slowly. There seemed to be a strange distance between the two of them, but there seemed to be a strange connection. There are lights in the distance. Fu Hongxue suddenly said slowly: "One day, either you will kill me, or I will kill you!" Ye Kai said: "One day?" Fu Hongxue still didn't look back, and said word by word: "This day may come soon." Ye Kai said: "Maybe this day will never come." Fu Hongxue sneered, "Why?" Ye Kai let out a long sigh, staring at the darkness in the distance, and slowly said: "Because we might all die at the hands of others!" Ma Fangling lay on the pillow, the pillow was already wet with tears. Until now, she still couldn't restore her emotional calm. Love and hate were like two powerful hands, which were about to tear her heart apart. Ye Kai, Fu Hongxue. These are two strange people. The prairie was originally lonely and peaceful, but since the arrival of these two people, everything has changed horribly. No one knows how terrible this change will develop. Who are these two people?Why are they here? Thinking of that night, on the yellow sand, under the starry sky, she curled up in Ye Kai's arms. Ye Kai's hands are so gentle and sweet, she is ready to give everything. Bo is he did not accept. She said that when she wanted to go back, she only wanted to be left by him, even if he left her with violence, she didn't care. But he just let her go. He looked so cunning, so hateful, but he let her go. Another night, under the same starry sky, on the same yellow sand, she met a completely different person. She never thought that Fu Hongxue would do such a thing. He seemed to be a silent and lonely child, but suddenly he became a beast. What caused him to change? Whenever Ma Fangling thought of this incident, Ma Fangling's heart immediately began to ache. She had never seen two people so different, and yet it was strange that they should suddenly be equally haunting to her. She knew that her life would definitely change for these two people. Her tears flowed down again... There were heavy footsteps on the roof, and she knew it was her father's. Ma Kongqun lives above his daughter. Originally, every night, he would come down to see his daughter, but these two nights, he seemed to have forgotten. He hasn't slept for the past two days. This kind of heavy footsteps will not stop until dawn. Ma Fangling had also faintly seen the worries and fears in his father's heart, which she had never seen before. She also has a lot of troubles and fears in her heart. She wanted very much to comfort her father, and she wanted him to comfort her. But Ma Kongqun is a strict father. Although he loves his daughter, there always seems to be a big distance between father and daughter. Where is the third aunt?Why didn't you go to accompany him these two days? Ma Fangling quietly jumped out of the bed, barefooted, covered with clothes, facing the bronze mirror with rhombic flowers, stroking her hair. "Should I talk to my third aunt, or go to the town to find him?" She couldn't make up her mind, all she knew was that she must never stay in the house alone again. Her heart is really messed up. But at this moment, she suddenly heard a rush of horseshoes coming straight from the pasture. Just by hearing the hooves of the horses, one knew that the horse coming must be a fast horse selected from a thousand, and the rider on the horse must be a master of Wanmatang. It was so late at night, if it wasn't for urgent matters, no one would dare to disturb her father. She frowned, and heard her father's stern voice: "Did you find it?" "I found Murong Mingzhu." This was Yun Zaitian's voice. "Why didn't you bring them?" "He has also been murdered. Master Hao found his body four miles away and was hacked to death." There was a moment of silence upstairs, and then I heard the wind of the clothes flapping down from the window. The sound of hooves sounded again, and they galloped away. Ma Fangling suddenly felt a surge of fear, Murong Mingzhu was also dead, she had seen this arrogant young man in gorgeous clothes, yesterday he was still so alive, but tonight he has turned into a corpse. And the horsemen, two of whom had taught her how to ride when she was a child. Who will be next?Ye Kai?Clouds in the sky?Gongsun Duan?her father? All the people in this place seem to have a shadow of death hanging over their heads. She felt herself shivering, opened the door quickly, and ran out barefoot. The planks of the corridor were as cold as ice. The third aunt's room is on the left at the end of the corridor. She knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response, and she knocked harder, but there was still no response. It's so late, why is Third Aunt not in the room? She went out through a door at the back, the courtyard was silent, and the lights in Third Aunt's window had been turned off. The starlight shone on the pale window paper, she pushed hard, and the window opened, she called softly: "Third Aunt." Still no response. There was no one in the room at all, and there were two big pillows piled up in Third Aunt's quilt. The wind blows across the yard. Ma Fangling suddenly couldn't help but shivered. She suddenly discovered that everyone in this place, except herself, seemed to have some secrets. Even her father is the same. She never knew about her father's past, and never dared to ask. She raised her head, and there was a huge figure on the window, and then she heard Gongsun Duan sternly said: "Go back to the room." She didn't dare to turn her head to face him, everyone in Wanmatang, no matter who was up and down, had some fear of Gongsun Duan. She tightened her skirt, lowered her head, and hurried back, as if she heard Gongsun Duan sneering at the third aunt's window. After closing the door forcefully, Ma Fangling's heart was still beating. There was another sound of hooves outside, and they galloped away. She jumped onto the bed, pulled up the quilt, covered her head, and suddenly her body was shaking non-stop. Because she knew that something tragic would happen again in this place, she really didn't want to see or listen to it anymore. "...I shouldn't have been born at all, and I shouldn't have lived in this world at all." Thinking of what Fu Hongxue said, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She couldn't help asking herself: "Why did I have to be born? Why was I born here?..." Fu Hongxue's pillow was also wet, but he was already asleep. He didn't cry when he woke up, and he swore that from now on, he would never cry again. But his tears flowed down in his sleep. Because his conscience can only overcome hatred in his sleep, telling him what a shameful thing he did today. Revenge, originally the oldest of all human acts, is almost as old as procreation. This behavior, though unapproved, is dignified. Today he offends that dignity. When he was crying, he was in a dream, a terrible nightmare. He dreamed that his parents were bleeding, struggling in the ice and snow, calling out to him for revenge. Then he suddenly felt a cold hand reaching into his bed, caressing his bare back. He wanted to jump up, but these hands held him gently, and a gentle voice whispered in his ear: "You are sweating." His whole body suddenly collapsed - after all, she came. dark. The windows were closed, the curtains were drawn, and the room was as dark as a tomb. Why does she quietly appear in the darkness every time, and then slowly disappear in the darkness? He rolled over, trying to sit up. But she held him down again! "what would you like?" "Light on." "Don't turn on the lights." "Why? I can't see you?" "No." She bent down and pressed on his chest, with a soft smile: "But I can assure you, I am by no means an ugly woman, can't you feel it?" "Why can't I see you?" "Because if you know who I am, your expression will inevitably change when you see me in other places. We must never let anyone see the relationship between me and you." "But……" "But I will always let you see it in the future. After this matter is over, it doesn't matter how long you want to see me." He didn't say anything more, his hands were already busy looking for the buttons of her clothes. She grabbed his hand again. "Don't move around." "why?" "I have to rush back." She sighed: "I just said, I will never let others know about our relationship." He is sneering. She knew that a man would always be very angry when he was rejected at such a time. "I have endured here for seven or eight years, enduring pain, pain that you will never imagine, what am I doing for?" Her voice gradually became strict: "I am waiting for you to come, to wait for your revenge, our whole life, This is what I lived for, I never forgot, and you must never forget." Fu Hongxue's body was suddenly cold and stiff, and the bedding was soaked in cold sweat. He wasn't here to have fun. She gave herself to him for nothing but revenge! "You should always know what a terrifying person Ma Kongqun is, plus his helpers." She sighed again: "If we can't succeed in this blow, I'm afraid we will never have a chance in the future." "Gongsun Duan, Hua Mantian, and Yun Zaitian, the combination of these three people is not terrible." "I'm not talking about them. Hua Mantian and Yun Zaitian didn't participate in that incident at all." "Who are you talking about?" "Some people who dare not show their faces, until now, I have not found out who they are." "Maybe there's no one else at all." "What kind of heroes are your father and your second uncle? How dare you act recklessly against Ma Kongqun and Gongsun? What's more, their wives are also heroines..." Speaking of this, her own voice was already choked up, and Fu Hongxue couldn't make it anymore. After a long time, she continued: "Since your father's tragic death, many people in the world have been wondering, who can put these two unparalleled heroic couples to death?" "Of course no one would think of Ma Kongqun, a beast with a human face and heart!" His voice was full of anger and hatred. "But besides Ma Kongqun, there must be other people. I came here mainly to inquire about this matter. Unfortunately, I have never seen him have any contacts with the masters in the Jianghu. Of course, he himself is even more secretive. It was never mentioned.” "You have been investigating for seven or eight years, but you haven't found it out. How can we find it out now?" "Now we at least have a chance." "what chance?" "There are other people forcing him now. When he is cornered, he will naturally pull those people out." "Who are forcing him?" She didn't answer, but asked instead: "Did you kill those thirteen people last night?" "no." "Where are the horses?" "No." "Since it's not you, who is it?" "I was just wondering." "You can't think of it?" Fu Hongxue pondered, "Ye Kai?" "This person is indeed very mysterious, and he must have a purpose in coming here, but he definitely did not kill those people." "Oh?" "I know who he was with last night." Fortunately, the room was very dark, and no one could see Fu Hongxue's expression—the expression on his face was really strange. At this moment, a sound of "grid" on the roof was suddenly heard. Her complexion changed, and she said in a deep voice, "You stay in the house, don't go out." After finishing these eleven words, she pushed open the window and walked out through the window. Fu Hongxue only saw a slender figure flash, and it disappeared in an instant. There are already four people drunk here, and all four of them are very experienced horse masters in the Wanma Hall. They used to get drunk often, but tonight they got drunk very fast and very hard. Seeing the sudden tragic death of thirteen living companions, seeing one terrible disaster after another, how could they not be drunk? When the fourth one fell down, Ye Kai was walking in from a door behind with his clothes up. He has been here for a long time, and he just went to make conveniences once. He drank a lot of wine, so there must be many times of conveniences, but it seems that his time of conveniences this time seems to be too long. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Bieli beckoning to him from the corner of his eye, and he walked over. Xiao Bieli seemed to have some mystery in his smile, and said with a smile: "Someone asked me to hand over something to you." Ye Kai blinked and said, "Cui Nong." Xiao Bieli also blinked, and said, "Are you always so smart?" Ye Kai smiled and said: "It's a pity that I will become an idiot in front of the woman I like." He took a piece of paper tied into a wishful knot from Xiao Bieli. On the lavender paper, there was only one line written: "Did you give the pearl flower to others?" Ye Kai gently caressed the bead flowers on the lapel, as if he was a little crazy. Xiao Bieli looked at him, suddenly sighed softly, and said: "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely fight with you." Ye Kai laughed again, and said: "No matter how old you are, you are definitely not the kind of man who is willing to fight for women." Xiao Bieli sighed, "You misread me." Ye Kai said: "Oh?" Xiao Bieli said: "Do you know how my two legs are broken?" Ye Kai said, "For a woman?" Xiao Bieli smiled bitterly: "By the time I know that woman is just a bitch, it will be too late." He suddenly showed his face again and said: "But she is definitely not that kind of woman. She is much cleaner than all the women we have seen. Although she is here with me, she has never betrayed herself." Ye Kai blinked again and said, "What is she selling?" Xiao Bieli smiled and said: "What she sells is a man's problem that the more he can't buy it, the more he wants to buy it." Pushing open the second door, there is an aisle, a very wide aisle, with rows of tables and chairs beside it. At the end, there is another door. If you can't knock on this door, you have to wait in the aisle. Ye Kai was knocking on the door. After a long time, there was a response from the door: "Who is knocking?" Ye Kai said: "Guest." "Miss doesn't see any visitors today." Ye Kai said: "Where is the guest who kicks the door down? See you?" There was a silver bell-like laughter from the door: "It must be Young Master Ye." A little girl with big eyes smiled and opened the door, and said, "It really is Young Master Ye." Ye Kai laughed and said, "Am I the only one of your guests who can kick down the door?" The little girl rolled her eyeballs, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "There is one more." Ye Kai said: "Who?" The little girl said: "The donkey who came to grind the mill for us."
