Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Third

After Yu Fanghe and Lin Shoujuan left, Tian Chixing smiled and said: "It's hot and stuffy in there, let's come out to cool off." Except for the big guys carrying the bed, there is no one around now, Yu Peiyu just didn't know who he was talking to, but saw Tian Chixing smiling and waving to him, he knew that Tian Chixing had found out After finding their hiding place, cold sweat broke out on the palms of their hands in shock. Zhu Lei'er sighed, and murmured: "Others say fat people are useless, why is this fat man so powerful?" She hadn't finished speaking when someone got out, Yu Peiyu tried to hold her back, but it was too late, this little girl was more courageous than anyone else.

Tian Chixing didn't seem to have thought that the person peeking in the dark would be such a gentle and pretty girl, and he couldn't help showing surprise on his face. Zhu Lei'er had already walked in front of him, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "There are so many delicious things, what's the point of eating alone, can you share some with me? My saliva is almost drooling." While she was talking, she reached out for a big apple and began to eat it. Tian Chixing stared at her for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?" Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "A kind and funny person like you, why should I be afraid of you?"

Tian Chi Xing said: "Didn't you see me kill people?" Zhu Lei'er said: "A great hero like you will never kill a little girl, I am very relieved." Tian Chixing laughed and said: "Interesting and interesting, I never imagined that at such a young age, your mouth is sweeter than that old fox of Grandma Hu, and it's so delicious. It really looks like my daughter." Zhu Lei'er smiled and said: "It's not bad to be your daughter, I have good food every day, and I'm not afraid of being bullied, but it's a pity..." Tian Chixing smiled and said: "It's a pity that it's useless for you to flatter me. I have already seen that there is another person hiding with you. Why doesn't he come out? Is it because he is afraid?"

Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "You think he's afraid of you? Do you know who he is?" Tian Chixing squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "You are young, don't tell me you already have a lover." Zhu Lei'er stared and said: "You must not talk nonsense. Although my fourth uncle is handsome, he has a fierce temper. Even my third uncle is a little afraid of him." Tian Chixing said: "Who is your third uncle?" Zhu Lei'er said leisurely: "You know him, you mentioned his old man's name just now." Tian Chixing was stunned, and said, "Is it Feng San?"

Zhu Lei'er smiled and said: "That's right, he is very powerful, I think you know it very well." Tianchi Xingzhang laughed and said: "Interesting and interesting, Fengsan's brother hides in the stove and dare not see anyone, but asks the little girl to come out and brag for him, I almost burst out laughing." Now that Yu Peiyu is still hiding her face, Zhu Lei'er is not surprised, Yu Peiyu is definitely not such a timid person, there must be a reason for him not coming out. But Zhu Lei'er couldn't think of the reason, she just stared at Tian Chixing and said: "How dare you be so rude to my third uncle and fourth uncle?"

Tian Chixing laughed and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of Feng San? If I'm also afraid of Feng San, it would be a joke." Zhu Lei'er has never seen anyone who is not afraid of Feng San's name. She was startled when someone in the brick oven laughed and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of Feng San? Without Feng San, that would be a joke." The laughter was also shrill, exactly the same as that of Tian Chi Xing, suddenly heard, it was like the echo of Tian Chi Xing's words. Zhu Lei'er was even more surprised, the person who spoke was definitely not Yu Peiyu, but if it wasn't Yu Peiyu, then who was it?Yu Peiyu was obviously the only one in that furnace.

Hearing this laughter, Tian Chixing was also taken aback, forced a smile and said: "You dare not come out, why do you learn how to speak like me?" The man in the furnace also smiled and said: "You dare not come out, why do you imitate me?" Tian Chixing said: "You... who are you?" At this time, not only could he not laugh, but his voice became hoarse. The voice of the person in the furnace immediately became hoarse, "You... who are you?" Tian Chixing was stunned for a while, then laughed and said, "I'm a bastard, a big bastard, I have nothing but learning how to speak from others."

The man in the furnace also laughed loudly and said, "I'm a bastard, a big bastard. Apart from being able to imitate other people's speech, I have no other skills." Tian Chi Xing said: "The most shameless and shameless people in the world are the echoers in Echo Valley." The man also said: "The most shameless and shameless people in the world are the echoers in the Valley of Echo." No matter what Tian Chi Xing said, this person still said the same thing, not only did not miss a single word, but also learned it perfectly, Zhu Lei'er was surprised and funny, but when she thought of every word she said, if Some people also said that it was really uncomfortable.

Seeing that Tian Chi Xing was sweating profusely, he hissed, "If you dare to imitate me again, I will kill you." The man also hissed: "If you dare to imitate me again, I will kill you." Tian Chi Xing said: "You...you..." His giant elephant-like body suddenly flew into the air, like a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, and he was sucked into the carriage of the big carriage. Then the carriage drove away immediately, and the dozen or so big shirtless men also carried the big bed—following like flying, as if they were afraid of being chased by some evil spirits.

Zhu Lei'er was stunned, and there was no more sound coming from the chest. She was stunned for a while, then walked over step by step, and softly called, "Fourth Uncle, are you still inside?" No one answered in the furnace, and Yu Peiyu seemed to be no longer inside. Shocked, Zhu Lei'er jumped over quickly, stretched her head to look into the furnace, and saw Yu Peiyu's eyes widened, looking at her. Only then did Zhu Lei'er heave a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I thought it was someone else just now, but it turned out to be your trick, Fourth Uncle. This trick is really wonderful, it scared the fat man like he saw a ghost."

Yu Peiyu still stared at her blankly, without even blinking. Zhu Lei'er was taken aback again, and said, "Fourth Uncle...why don't you speak?" She stretched out her hand to touch it, and Yu Peiyu's hand was as hard as a piece of wood. Zhu Lei'er's hands were also frightened, and she dived in, only to see that Yu Peiyu's whole body was stiff, her eyes were straight, and she was also touched by someone's acupuncture points. Looking at the back corner of the brick oven, a hole had been dug out at some point, and gusts of wind blew in from the hole, Zhu Lei'er couldn't help shivering. Fortunately, the person who taught her acupuncture points was Mr. Feng San, so she knows a little bit about acupuncture techniques from all schools and schools in the world. She immediately patted Yu Peiyu's acupoints and said, "What's going on with Fourth Uncle? Has anyone been here?" Yu Peiyu was stunned for a long while before letting out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Yes, someone has been here, but is this person a human or a ghost? I don't even know." It turned out that just when Yu Peiyu was about to go out, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind silently and touched his acupuncture points. Zhu Lei'er lost her voice: "Did that hand come in through this hole?" Yu Peiyu said: "Exactly." Zhu Leier said: "He made a hole in the wall right behind Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, don't you even hear a sound?" Yu Peiyu sighed: "I didn't hear anything. Although the bricks used to make stoves are extremely strong, they look like tofu under the hands of this person." Thinking of the astonishing strength of this kind of palm, Zhu Lei'er couldn't help gasping, "Then what?" Yu Peiyu said: "Then I felt someone came in from this hole." Zhu Lei'er was surprised: "But the hole is only about the size of a teacup, how could he get in?" Yu Peiyu smiled wryly, "He naturally used the bone shrinking technique." "Bone Shrinking Skill" is not a particularly great skill, but if a person can shrink his body so that he can get in and out of such a small hole, it is very remarkable. Zhu Lei'er was stunned for a while, then said: "Then he started to talk like Chi Xing that day, didn't he?" Yu Peiyu said: "Not bad." Zhu Lei'er said: "What does this man look like, fourth uncle must have seen it." Yu Peiyu shook her head and sighed, "I didn't see it." Zhu Lei'er opened her eyes wide and said, "He's right next to Fourth Uncle, and Fourth Uncle can't see him? Could it be that he's still able to hide himself?" Yu Peiyu said: "I couldn't turn my head to look at him at all, I just felt that he slipped in from the hole all at once, and slipped out again all at once." Zhu Lei'er laughed and said: "Sliding in all of a sudden, then slipping out again, is he a fish?" Yu Peiyu sighed: "To be honest, even if a fish is in the water, it is not as flexible as him. This person's body is like a puff of smoke, and no one can figure it out." Zhu Lei'er frowned and said: "Judging from Tian Chi Xing's tone, this person seems to belong to 'Echo Valley', but I have never heard the name of Echo Valley before from my third uncle. Tian Chi Xing is not even afraid of my third uncle. Why are you afraid of this person like a snake? Yu Fanghe just gestured to Tianchixing, could it be him?" Yu Peiyu's complexion changed, and she murmured: "Echo Valley? Echo Valley! Where is this Echo Valley?" Zhu Lei'er smiled and said: "Even if I know where Echo Valley is, I will never go there. I just hope that I will never meet someone in Echo Valley again in this life. If there is someone who follows me all day Beside me, no matter what I say, he will repeat it with me, even if I am not mad at him, I am afraid that I will go crazy with anxiety." She didn't even dare to think about it any longer. The thought of such a person in the world gave her goosebumps all over her body, as if a snake had wrapped her neck. At this moment, another groan was heard from outside. Zhu Lei'er immediately clenched Yu Peiyu's hand again, and looked out from the furnace, only a man with blood on his face staggered up from the rubble. His body twitched, his hands covered his face, if it weren't for his beard, no one would recognize him. Zhu Lei'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered in her ear, "This is Xiang Dazi, he is not dead yet." Yu Peiyu was about to go out to take a look at his injuries, when she suddenly noticed that his eyes flickered, and he kept looking around, his expression seemed very secretive. At this time, there was no one in the surroundings, and the remaining smoke in the ruins was blown away by the wind. The prosperous Lidu Town had turned into a desolate ghost town. Xiang Dahuzi suddenly giggled, a man whose nose and ears had been cut off could still laugh, it was really surprising. It was fine if he didn't laugh, but this smile cracked the wound open again, and blood flowed out again, but he didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and he kept laughing. Although the laughter sounded terrible, his person looked more like a living ghost. Zhu Lei'er unconsciously held Yu Peiyu's hand even tighter. I only heard Xiang Dahuzi giggling and saying: "Yu Fanghe, Yu Fanghe, even if you are worse than everyone else, you are still not as good as me, Xiang Dahuzi. You have worked so hard, but in the end it was still a waste of work, but let me I picked up a bargain." While he was talking, he jumped into the pit. Zhu Lei'er was both surprised and happy, and said: "It turned out that he had found the thing, but he knew that even if he handed it over, he would still die, so he hid it quietly, the pit was full of broken pieces anyway. Stones, mud, if he buries them in any corner, no one will see them." Yu Peiyu's eyes also lit up, at this moment only Xiang Dazi's crazy laughter came from the pit, Yu Peiyu and Zhu Lei'er sneaked out and swept to the edge of the pit. I saw Xiang Dazi sitting in the mud like a child, his whole body was dripping wet, holding a small iron box tightly in his hands, and laughed loudly: "This is mine, this is mine!" , the time has come for me to raise my eyebrows to the bearded man..." Zhu Lei'er couldn't help but sneered and said, "But it's too early for you to be happy now." The bearded man jumped up like a mad tiger, but when he realized that the boy standing on it was actually the young man who had defeated the Nurenist, his body immediately shrank back, hugged the iron box even tighter, and said in a trembling voice : "You... what do you want?" Zhu Lei'er said: "We don't want to do anything, we just want to get this box back." The bearded man hurriedly hid the iron box behind his back, giggled and said, "Box? What kind of box is there?" Seeing his appearance, Zhu Lei'er thought it was ridiculous and pitiful, she shook her head and sighed: "It's useless, no matter where you hide now, it's useless." Xiang Dazi jumped up again, and roared: "So what if there is a box? This is mine. I bought it with a nose and two ears. If anyone wants to take it away, he must cut off my chest first." head." Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "Do you want us to chop off your head? That's not a difficult thing." The bearded man glared at her angrily, and hissed, "You..." His eyes suddenly turned upwards, and his body suddenly twitched. Before he could say the second word, he fell to the ground on his back. Zhu Lei'er jumped down, probed his breath, shook her head and sighed: "He's dead, this person is actually dead, I really can't imagine that there are people in this world who will be angered to death." Yu Peiyu sighed: "If you suddenly push a person down from the peak of joy, no one can bear this kind of excitement, let alone the injury he suffered is not serious." Zhu Lei'er pouted and said, "But you can't blame me, I can't give him such an important thing." Yu Peiyu smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, I really can't blame you, it can only blame his greed." Seeing that the big bearded man was still clinging to the box with both hands, refusing to let go, Zhu Lei'er pulled his hand with the shovel, and murmured: "I want to see what's in the box, Is it worth it for these people to die for it?" There was only a bamboo card and an account book in the box. The bamboo tablet is a very common bamboo tablet, it is just a cloth bag engraved on it, and the engraving is also very clumsy, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any preciousness. The account books are very ordinary account books, exactly the same as the account books kept in ordinary grocery stores, and there is not even a word on it. Yu Peiyu and Zhu Leihe were stunned. Zhu Lei'er was stunned for a while, then sighed, "Just because of these two ghosts, Yu Fanghe did not hesitate to set fire to an entire town, and many people even sacrificed their lives for it, isn't it a hell of a thing?" She threw these two things on the ground heavily, and wanted to step on them with her feet. But Yu Peiyu picked it up from the ground again, and said, "Anyway, these two things are hard-won for us, so you might as well keep them as a souvenir." Zhu Lei'er smiled wryly and said, "What do you commemorate? Commemorate this bearded man? If I had known this, I might as well have let him take the box away." Yu Peiyu said: "In my opinion, Lingtang would never hide two worthless things so carefully. Maybe we can't see its value now." Zhu Lei'er said: "But what is the value of a blank account book?" Yu Peiyu could only smile wryly, because he couldn't answer either. Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, if you think it's a pity to discard it, you can keep it for yourself. I don't want to hide such a big volume of waste paper on my body. Girls are so wimpy and look like A big fool." Yu Peiyu smiled and said, "No matter how you look at it, you won't look like a fool." He actually hid these two wastes on his body, and pushed the corpses of those people into the pit, and buried them with the dug out mud and sand. Zhu Lei'er sighed, and said with a smile: "Fourth Uncle's heart is so kind, I don't know which girl will be so lucky to marry such a gentle and kind person as Fourth Uncle." Yu Peiyu also wanted to smile, but she couldn't. He thought of Lin Daiyu, and then Jin Yanzi, and couldn't help but sighed, and said sadly: "It's best for anyone not to be with me, Otherwise, it's just bad luck." Zhu Lei'er blinked and said, "What does Fourth Uncle mean by saying that, does it mean that he doesn't want to take me away with him?" Without waiting for Yu Peiyu to speak, she lowered her head and said, "Although I am alone and have nowhere to go, if Fourth Uncle is afraid of burdening me, I dare not force Fourth Uncle." Yu Peiyu patted her on the head and said with a smile: "Little girl, you can't be so thoughtful. Besides, even if Fourth Uncle doesn't want to take you with you, there's no way you can't change your mind after hearing what you say." Zhu Lei'er immediately raised her head and smiled, "Then, where shall we go now?" In fact, Yu Peiyu herself is now homeless, with nowhere to go. He pondered for a while, then murmured: "I don't know if people in Tangjiazhuang have discovered Tang Wushuang's disappearance, and if Jin Yanzi is still there?" Zhu Lei'er said: "Does Fourth Uncle want to visit Tangjiazhuang?" Yu Peiyu said: "It's good to go and have a look." Zhu Lei'er clapped her hands and said with a smile: "That's great, I've heard that the Tang Family Manor is very fun." Suddenly there was a burst of noisy voices, mixed with the cries of women and children, it was obvious that Yu Fanghe had released the residents of Lidu Town back. Zhu Lei'er immediately took Yu Peiyu's hand and ran out in a circle. After arriving outside the town, the breath of the earth gradually became fragrant, and there was no more blood and burnt smell, but the mournful cry could still be heard faintly. Zhu Lei'er suddenly said: "Fourth Uncle, do you think that Yu Fanghe will really compensate Lidu Town for the loss?" Yu Peiyu sighed: "This person is in a hurry to establish a reputation as a chivalrous man, so how could he break their trust?" Zhu Lei'er said: "But who can compensate for their mental suffering? If a person's home is destroyed, even if you build a better house for him, he will still suffer. of." Yu Peiyu said softly: "But no matter how deep the trauma is, it will heal, no matter how deep the pain is, it will gradually fade away after a long time. Only happy memories can last forever. It is for this reason that people can live .” Zhu Lei'er smiled sweetly and said, "That's right, if a person can never forget those painful things, it would be too boring to live." At this time, the sun has risen, and although the autumn flowers and trees have begun to wither, the rice fields beside the road are still golden, and the world is still full of life. What flower fragrance in the world can compare with the fragrance of ripe rice? Zhu Lei'er took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm still alive, I'm still young, the world is so big, and there are places I can go everywhere, so what pain do I have?" She opened her arms and ran out against the wind. Seeing her smile, Yu Peiyu's mood unknowingly brightened, but at this moment, a painful moan came from the paddy field. One gasped and said, "Young people really shouldn't be in pain, only old women like me can..." Every word she said seemed to be very difficult. When she said this, she coughed violently again, and she couldn't even speak any more. Yu Peiyu and Zhu Lei'er were startled when they heard this voice. Zhu Lei'er ran back and held Yu Peiyu's hand, staring at the straw over there, and said, "Grandma Hu, is that you?" Grandma Hu coughed for a long while before panting, "Yes, it's me, kind young masters and ladies, can you pour a bowl of water for my dying old woman? I can't even walk anymore." Zhu Lei'er rolled her eyes, suddenly laughed, and said loudly, "You old fox, do you think we'll fall for your tricks?" Grandma Hu tremblingly said: "My good girl, it's true this time, please...my mouth is so dry it's cracked, and the damn sun is getting bigger and bigger." Zhu Lei'er took Yu Peiyu's hand and said: "Fourth Uncle, let's go, don't talk to this old woman, whoever talks to her will be in trouble." I saw Grandma Hu's blood dripping face suddenly protruding from the golden ears of rice, and immediately fell down again, hissing: "Young Master Yu, I know you are a kind person, I just ask you to give me some water." , I am grateful to you even after I die." Yu Peiyu suddenly pulled away Zhu Lei'er's hand, turned around and ran out. Zhu Lei'er sighed, and said: "Listen, old woman, my fourth uncle has already fetched water for you, because his heart is so kind, but if you still want to harm him, I will cut off your tongue Come, so that you can never lie again." As she spoke, she jumped into the rice field. I saw Grandma Hu curled up in the straw like a dog, covered in mud from the field, her lips were dry and cracked, she seemed to want to smile when she saw Zhu Lei'er coming, but as soon as she grinned, she His head was covered in cold sweat from the pain, he held his head in his hands and coughed for a while, then said in a trembling voice: "My good girl, can't you see that my old lady is dying? Why should I lie to others?" Zhu Lei'er didn't expect her to become like this, she was stunned for a while, then shook her head and sighed: "If you had known that you would end up like this, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to lie." Grandma Hu said sadly: "I did this on my own, and I don't blame others, but if I hadn't been so old, I wouldn't have become like this no matter how badly I was injured." Zhu Lei'er knew that it was not just a traumatic attack, the most important thing was that Mr. Feng San forced half of her strength in that small building. People who are half the younger will never be able to support it. She has lived to such a great age, it seems that she doesn't even have a relative, if she dies here, there will be no one to collect her body. Zhu Lei'er couldn't help feeling that she was a bit pitiful. But after a long time, Yu Peiyu hadn't come back yet, and Zhu Lei'er couldn't help becoming anxious again. She craned her neck to look, stomped her feet and said, "There must be someone else walking on this road, even if you are already thirsty." Damn, why didn't you find someone else to pour water for you, but you found us?" Grandma Hu sighed: "Maybe it's because my old lady has done too many sins, so she doesn't trust anyone." Zhu Lei'er said: "Then why are you so relieved of my fourth uncle?" Grandma Hu said: "There is a kind of man in the world who can make women feel at ease when they see him. He is this kind of man. Although my old lady is old, she is still a woman after all." Zhu Lei'er couldn't help showing a smile, and said: "Anyway, you do have some discernment." Grandma Hu gasped for a while, then suddenly said, "Why do you call him Fourth Uncle? In fact, he is about the same age as you." Zhu Lei'er broke a piece of rice and played with it in her hand, but said nothing. Grandma Hu glanced at her secretly out of the corner of her eye, and said, "If I were as old as you and met this kind of man, I would never let him go. No matter what method I use, I must marry him, and I will never Call him fourth uncle." Zhu Lei'er laughed again, and said, "Do you think I'm ready to marry?" Grandma Hu said: "Why not? Someone is already a mother at your age." Zhu Lei'er looked down at the ears of rice in her hand, lost in thought. The sun shone on her face, her eyes were shining, and her bright red dimples were also shining, it seemed that she was indeed no longer a child. Don't children who grow up in suffering often mature faster than others? Zhu Lei'er suddenly felt that the old woman was not very annoying. But she didn't see that Grandma Hu's mouth was split open and her wounds were bleeding profusely in order to say these few words. This old woman who has become a fine old woman naturally knows that the young girl in love loves to hear the most, that is, Others say she has grown into an adult. But why did she work so hard to please Zhu Lei'er? Yu Peiyu finally came back and brought back a bamboo tube full of water. There were beads of sweat on his forehead again, which showed that it was not easy to get this tube of water. Grandma Hu said happily: "Thank you, thank you, my wife has long known that you are a good man, son." Yu Peiyu didn't say anything, just put the bucket of water in front of her. Grandma Hu struggled to get up to get it, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even pick up a bamboo leaf. Zhu Lei'er said: "Be careful, if you overturn this bucket of water, no one will take it for you again." Grandma Hu panted, "I know...I know..." Before she finished speaking, the bamboo tube fell from her hand, if Zhu Lei'er hadn't caught it quickly, all the water in the tube would have already spilled on the ground. Zhu Lei'er stomped her feet and said, "I told you to be careful, didn't you hear?" Grandma Hu trembled and said, "I... I never thought that she would become so useless. It seems that she is really dying..." As she spoke, tears flowed from her old eyes. Zhu Lei'er shook her head and sighed, knelt down and put the bamboo tube on Grandma Hu's mouth, Grandma Hu immediately held the bamboo tube like a baby holding a breast, and drank loudly. Seeing her like this, Zhu Lei'er couldn't help laughing and said, "Fourth Uncle, do you think she looks like..." Before he finished speaking, his smile froze suddenly, he turned over and stepped back five feet, and the remaining half of the water in the can was splashed on Grandma Hu. Yu Peiyu lost her voice: "How are you doing?" Zhu Lei'er's face turned blue with anger, she stomped her feet and said, "This... this old woman is simply not human." Yu Peiyu was afraid that Grandma Hu would play tricks, so she kept paying attention to her, but Grandma Hu didn't seem to do anything. Yu Peiyu was surprised and angry at the same time, and said sharply: "What tricks are you playing again?" Grandma Hu said with a bitter face: "My wife's nails are too long, she accidentally cut Miss Zhu's hand." Before she could finish speaking, Yu Peiyu had jumped over to grab Zhu Lei'er's little hand, only to see that there was a bright red nail mark on the back of her Bai Shengsheng's hand. Yu Peiyu changed color and said, "Is there poison on her nails?" Zhu Lei'er nodded and said, "Yes." Yu Peiyu whispered: "Is this poison okay?" Zhu Lei'er lowered her head and said: "If I take this bit of poison, it will definitely be fine, but now she has cut my skin, the poison came in from the blood, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's just..." Yu Peiyu took a long breath, turned to face Grandma Hu, and said word by word, "What exactly do you want?" Grandma Hu said in a trembling voice: "My old lady really didn't do it on purpose, she really deserves to die, I'm really sorry for you, son, you...you kill me." Yu Peiyu said: "You know I will never kill you." Grandma Hu suddenly laughed loudly, and said: "Of course I know you don't dare to kill me, half of my old woman has been buried in the ground anyway, and this little girl still has a long life to live, it is too much to exchange her life for mine. Not worth it." Yu Peiyu said: "What do you want to come up with the antidote?" Grandma Hu said leisurely: "This is my old lady's life-saving trick. How could I put the antidote on my body? If I can't get the antidote within thirty-six hours, her little life will be over." Yu Peiyu wiped the sweat off her brow and said, "Where is the antidote?" Grandma Hu smiled and said, "If you obediently listen to my old lady, my old lady will naturally give you the antidote." Zhu Lei'er suddenly shouted: "Fourth Uncle, don't be threatened by this old woman, I..." She actually pulled out a small silver knife from her bosom and chopped it down on her arm. Yu Peiyu grabbed her hand and said in shock, "What do you want to do?" Zhu Lei'er said: "I'm afraid the poison has not been transmitted yet, as long as I cut off this arm, I won't die." Yu Peiyu paused and said: "Silly boy, since she is willing to come up with the antidote, why do you... why bother..." This little girl had the courage of "a viper bites a hand, a strong man cuts a wrist". He felt his blood rushing up, his throat choked up, and he couldn't even speak. Tears welled up in Zhu Lei'er's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Even if she is willing to come up with the antidote, how can I have the heart to let Fourth Uncle you be angry with her like this? Even if I lose an arm, what does it matter?" .” Yu Peiyu turned her head when she heard the words, forced a smile and said: "You don't hesitate to cut off a hand for Fourth Uncle, even if Fourth Uncle takes a little anger for you, what is it?" Grandma Hu suddenly clapped her hands and said with a giggle: "Women are affectionate and men are righteous. It seems that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are nothing more than that. My wife has not seen such a romantic drama for decades. gone." Zhu Lei'er blushed, stomped her feet and said, "You...you are not allowed to talk nonsense to my fourth uncle." Grandma Hu smiled and said: "Although you are scolding me, you must be very happy in your heart. Although my old lady didn't say that you are a natural couple just now, you are so happy that you forget everything. How can you be a ghost?" Will fall for it." Zhu Lei'er let out a cry, threw herself into Yu Peiyu's arms, and said in a trembling voice, "Fourth Uncle, don't listen to her nonsense." Yu Peiyu coughed a few times, and said with a straight face, "Where is the antidote?" Grandma Hu said: "My old lady also has a family. If you can send my old lady home within three days and three nights, her little life will be taken back." Yu Peiyu said: "Where is your home?" Grandma Hu said: "Hurry up and hire a cart. From now on, start walking eastward day and night, maybe you can make it in time. I will tell you when I get there." ※※※ Grandma Hu sat in the carriage, as if she was about to die, she closed her eyes and gasped for breath, and the saliva kept flowing down from the corner of her mouth. Zhu Lei'er stared at her fiercely, and couldn't help but said, "You hid in that rice field just to wait for us to be fooled?" Grandma Hu squinted and said with a smile: "I didn't mean that at first, but how can my old lady not eat the fat meat that is brought to her mouth." Zhu Lei'er stared at her for a long while, and then smiled, and said with a smile: "You will regret it one day when you treat me like this." If she said these words viciously, it would have no effect on people like Grandma Hu, because Grandma Hu has heard such words too much, and now she has ignored them and can't listen to them at all. But when she said this, the smile on her face was so sweet and cute that Grandma Hu couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart, and forced a smile: "Actually, not only should you not hate me, but you should also be grateful to me. " Zhu Lei'er said, "Thank you?" Grandma Hu smiled and said, "If it wasn't for me, how would you know how much he cares about you?" Yu Peiyu coughed loudly again, and suddenly said: "What kind of hatred do you really have with that Yu...Yu Fanghe?" Grandma Hu didn't answer first, stared at him a few times, and asked, "Your surname is Yu, and your accent is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Does it have anything to do with him?" Yu Peiyu only felt a pain in her heart, and said loudly: "How can I have the slightest relationship with that kind of person." Grandma Hu smiled and said: "Then I can tell you that if this Yu Fanghe had not suffered from amnesia, he must have changed. Now this Yu Fanghe may be someone else pretending to be." All the blood in Yu Peiyu's body rushed to the top of her head. This sentence was exactly what he wanted to shout out loudly at all times, but he didn't expect it to come out of Grandma Hu's mouth at this moment. He clenched his fists tightly and his nails pierced into his palms, so he could barely control his excitement, and said indifferently: "How could he be impersonated by others? Who will believe this sentence?" Grandma Hu sighed, and said: "I also know that no one will believe this, but it is true." Yu Peiyu said: "Oh?" Grandma Hu said slowly: "Twenty years ago, I did meet Yu Fanghe once, but instead of doing anything wrong to me, he saved my life." Yu Peiyu said: "Saved... saved your life?" Grandma Hu said: "When he rescued me, he might not know who I am, but when he knew I was Grandma Hu, he didn't mean to regret it. He just advised me to offend less people in the future." She shook her head and sighed, and said: "There are really not many good people like him now. If he mentions this matter, even if my wife has no conscience, she will not embarrass him. I don’t know about this, but I thought it was true that I had some kind of hatred with my old lady, do you think this is a strange thing?” Zhu Lei'er blinked and said, "If this Yu Fanghe is really someone else's impostor, that would be really interesting." While she was talking, she secretly looked at Yu Peiyu, but Yu Peiyu's face seemed to have put on a mask, completely expressionless. Zhu Lei'er rolled her eyes and said again: "Since you already know this secret, why don't you try to expose it?" Grandma Hu sighed, and said: "Don't think that Yu Fanghe is easy to deal with. Although he is a fake, in my wife's opinion, his martial arts are much higher than that of the real Yu Fanghe." Zhu Lei'er said: "But he never made a move." Grandma Hu said: "It's because he never fights, so it's scary. Even if my old lady has nothing wrong with her, she wouldn't dare to fight someone like him." Zhu Lei'er laughed and said, "Could it be that his martial arts is still higher than your top ten masters?" Grandma Hu said: "People in Jianghu are very scared when they see the heads of those great sects, don't they?" Zhu Lei'er said, "Yes." Grandma Hu said: "But these big masters are also very scared when they see ten of us old guys?" Zhu Lei'er smiled and said, "Even if you're not afraid, you must have a headache." Grandma Hu sighed: "But the ten of us are not as powerful as others imagined, that is to say, there are people beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky. My old lady never dared to underestimate anyone, so she was able to live until now. " Zhu Lei'er said: "Then Yu Fangheguo is also a master, why should he bow down and invite Daoist Nu to come here and be angry with him?" Grandma Hu said: "Maybe it's because he doesn't dare to reveal his identity, for fear that others will see his origin from his martial arts. For a person like him who wants to do big things, what's the point of being idle?" 朱泪儿道：“难怪他只不过向那大胖子作了个手势，那大胖子立刻就放过了他。” 胡姥姥神色忽然紧张起来，道：“他比的是什么手势？” 朱泪儿苦笑道：“可惜我也没有瞧见。” 胡姥姥默然半晌，喃喃道：“最近莫非天气变了，所以那些久已不见天日的老怪物，也都想出来透透气了，看来以后的日子只怕要越来越不好混啦，我老婆子这次如果能够不死，还是躲在家里享几年清福吧……” 她眼皮渐渐阖了起来，似已睡着。 朱泪儿目光移到俞佩玉身上，俞佩玉竟也闭起了眼睛，朱泪儿叹了口气，将车窗支开一线，往外面望了出去—— 天气实在好得很。 好天气总是令人觉得懒洋洋的，路上简直没什么行人，也听不见什么声音，只有那赶车的挥舞着马鞭，发出一连串很有节奏的“劈啪”声，两匹水油油看不到杂色的健马，也跑得正欢。 朱泪儿瞧着那不时舞起的丝鞭，瞧着那八只几乎已像腾空飞了起来的马蹄，瞧着瞧着，地面上忽然变了颜色。 李渡镇四周并没有什么繁荣的市镇，现在连李渡镇都已变成一片废墟，俞佩玉又怎能在仓猝之间，找来如此神骏的马，如此漂亮的马车？就连车厢里的坐垫，都是用缎子制成的。 这种马车就算在省城里，也只有豪富大户人家才坐得起，怎么可能跑到穷乡僻境中来拉生意。 朱泪儿立刻悄悄摇醒了俞佩玉，悄悄道：“这辆马车是哪里找来的？” 她本以为俞佩玉是在装睡，谁知俞佩玉竟真的睡着了，她摇了半天，俞佩玉才睁开眼睛，眼睛里还是充满睡意。 朱泪儿更着急，用力摇着他肩膀，道：“四叔，你醒醒，我看这辆马车一定很有问题。” 俞佩玉道：“问题？什么问题？” 他像是努力想将眼睛睁开，但眼皮却似乎比铁皮还重，刚张开一线又闭了起来，嘴里也含含糊糊，连话都说不清。 再看胡姥姥，竟已睡得打起鼾来。 朱泪儿全身都凉了，反身推开车窗，大声道：“赶车的大哥，我人有点不舒服，想吐，你停停车好么？” 那赶车的回过头来一笑，道：“你好生睡一觉，就会舒服了。” 他这张脸本来又黑又红，此刻一笑起来，红红的皮肤，忽然自嘴角裂开一条缝，就像是用刀割的一般。 接着，他面上看起来很健康的皮肤，竟一块块落了下来，露出了一张青糁糁的、死人般的脸。 朱泪儿大惊之下，用力去推车门，谁知两只手竟已发软，只觉这扇车门像是铁铸的，用尽全力也推不开。 那赶车的咯咯一笑，又回过头赶马去了。 朱泪儿大呼道：“你们究竟是那条线上的？想将咱们怎么样？” 那赶车的不再理她，却将马鞭打得更响，马跑得更急，这时朱泪儿也已觉得眼皮渐渐沉重起来。 她倒在车座上，用力咬着嘴唇，想保持清醒，又自怀里抽出了那柄小银刀，紧紧捏在手里。 她现在自然已知道俞佩玉和胡姥姥都已被一种无色无味的迷药所迷倒，而她自己却因为体质和别人不同，对各种药力的抵抗力都比较强些，所以直到此刻，还算能勉强保持清醒。 但清醒又有什么用呢？她非但救不了俞佩玉，连自己都救不了，这样清醒，倒不如索性晕睡过去反倒好些。 她更猜不出这辆马车究竟是谁派出来的，莫非又是俞放鹤？但俞放鹤又怎会知道他们还留在李渡镇附近。 朱泪儿喃喃道：“一定是俞放鹤，因为除了俞放鹤外，更不会有别人。” 忽然间，她又发现不时有一缕淡淡的白烟，自车顶上一条裂缝中飘下来，一飘下来，立刻就被风吹散。 朱泪儿屏住呼吸，站到车座上，以掌中的银刀用力去拨那条裂缝，但她两条腿也已发软，手上一用力，再也站不稳，“砰”地跌下。 谁知就在这时，车厢顶上的那块板子，竟也忽然滑开了一线，原来这车顶上竟还藏着复壁机关。 朱泪儿咬紧牙，再爬到车座上，伸着头往里面瞧。 只见那上面竟像是个小小的阁楼，里面像是塞满了东西，而且旁边还有一点火星在闪着光。 朱泪儿用银刀去拨了拨，火星就落了下来，竟是根银色的线香，这时只不过燃去了一小半。 就这么样小半截，竟已将胡姥姥和俞佩玉两个大人迷倒了，这迷香制作之妙，实非江湖上一般下五门的绿林道所用之迷香可比。 朱泪儿弄熄了香头，将剩下来的半截香藏了起来，又将手伸进去，想看看上面塞满了什么东西。 只觉这东西软绵绵的，像是棉花，又像是肉。 朱泪儿长长吐出口气，用力将那板子一推，只听“砰”的一声，那东西已落了下来，竟是个活人。 她再也想不到这人竟是银花娘。 ※※※ 朱泪儿知道银花娘已落入俞放鹤手里，现在，她既然也在这马车上，这马车已无疑正是俞放鹤派来的。 看来俞放鹤实在是个不好惹的人物。 朱泪儿叹了口气，想问问银花娘是怎会被塞在这马车顶上的，但银花娘也已晕迷了很久，连呼吸都已变得很微弱。 适时马车却颠簸得越来越厉害，像是已走上了山道，过了半晌，车厢里骤然黑暗了下来。 等到朱泪儿再推开车窗往外瞧时，已什么都瞧不见了。 只觉车声隆隆，回声震耳，车身像是已驰入一个很黑暗的山洞里，但转过一个弯后，前面忽又出现了点点火光。 朱泪儿眼珠一转，也倒在车座上。 马车骤然停下，一阵脚步声奔了过来，有人勒住了马，有人将赶车的那人扶下了车，还赔着笑道：“大师兄这趟辛苦了。” 赶车的人原来还是“大师兄”，难道竟是俞放鹤的掌门弟子么，但江湖中人人都知道，放鹤老人从来也没有收过徒弟。 这大师兄只冷冷哼了一声，什么话也没有说，态度显然十分倨傲，但别人却似已见惯了，还是赔着笑道：“不知大师兄可将二娘找回来了么？” 只听“吧”的一声，说话的人竟似挨了个耳光。 那大师兄冷笑道：“我是否将她找回来了，与你又有何干？” 那人挨了个耳光，竟还赔着笑道：“是是是，小弟下次再也不敢多嘴了。” 那大师兄“哼”了一声，道：“车里有三个人，是我带回来献给教主的祭礼，二娘也在车子里，将他们都抬下来绑到祭台上去，知道么？” 他嘴里说着话，人已走了开去。 朱泪儿暗暗忖道：“这大师兄怎地对他的同门也如此凶恶，听他的口气，原来银花娘也是和他们一路的，却不知他们的教主又是谁呢？” 她并不知道银花娘本是天蚕教下，但却已知道这些人和俞放鹤并没有什么关系了，她心里不禁更是吃惊。 无论如何，俞放鹤做事总还有许多顾忌，落在俞放鹤手里，总还比落在这些人手里强得多。 这时车门已被打开，四五个人都挤到车门口来，身上还穿着银缎紧身衣，脸色看来却和常人有些不同。 其中一人又高又瘦，白里透青的一张脸，连一丝肉都没有，看来就像是一具活骷髅。 朱泪儿胆子虽大，瞧见这人也不禁打了个寒噤，瞧过一眼，就立刻闭起眼睛，只听这些人纷纷道：“二娘怎地也好像受了伤了？难道就是这三个人伤她的么？这三人又是什么来头呢？” “你瞧这老太婆，连鼻子都没有了，怎能伤人？” “但这小姑娘却长得真标致，只可惜小了两岁。” 一阵令人作呕的笑声中，朱泪儿只觉一只冷冷的手在她脸上轻轻拧了一把，她几乎忍不住要吐了出来。 只听一人道：“你们还不动手将他们抬走，若被大师兄知道，谁吃得消。” 这人说话的声音，正是方才挨耳光的，朱泪儿眯着眼偷偷瞧了瞧，才发现这人原来就是那活骷髅。 听到“大师兄”三个字，立刻就没有人笑得出了，一个人已将俞佩玉从车厢里往下拉。 另一人道，“二师兄，咱们难道也要将二娘绑到祭台上去？” 那活骷髅竟是二师兄，冷冷道：“这是大师兄的吩咐。” 那人迟疑了半晌，叹道：“二娘平时最得教主的欢心了，这次怎地也出了纰漏，像她这样的人，难道也会犯下什么不赦之罪么？” 只见这山洞四面都插着火把，闪动的火光，将山洞里各式各样的钟乳，映得五光十色，七彩艳丽。 山洞的中央，正生着四大堆火，火堆中有块很大的青石，想必就是他们说的“祭台”了。 外面已是深秋，但这山洞里却温暖如春，朱泪儿已热得流汗，也弄不懂这些人为何要生这么多火，难道他们特别怕冷么？ 到后来她才发现，每个火堆旁，都围着十来个雕刻得很精致的银匣子，匣子里不时传出一阵阵奇异的声音，宛如蚕食桑叶，“沙沙”作响，开始听的时候还不觉怎样，听到后来，朱泪儿只觉毛骨怵然，全身发痒，就好像有无数条小蛇在她身上爬来爬去一样。 但山洞里的人并不多，连那活骷髅二师兄，也不过只有六个。 这六人将朱泪儿他们抬到祭台上，用一根银色的绳子捆了起来，就垂手肃立在一旁，谁也不敢再说话。 过了半晌，只见那大师兄从一只七色的钟乳后走了出来，身上也换了件银光闪闪的长衫，手里还拿着柄折扇，远远看过去，倒也风度翩翩，可是等他走到近前，等火光照上他的脸—— 莫说是人，就算是鬼魅也不会比他这张脸再可怕的了，他的脸本来不瘦，但脸上的肉却也不知道被什么东西咬下了一大半，左边半个鼻子还是好好的，右边半个鼻子却已不见，上面一块肉还是好好的，下面却连皮都没有了，露出一块块灰中带青，青里带白的骨头。 他的一双手竟也已只剩下四根手指，右手三根，左手只有一根，其余的六根指头也已不知被什么东西啃光了。 这人看来就像是在一群饿狼的嘴里被救下来的。 但别人对他却似畏惧已极，一见他走过来，六个人都垂下头去，连看都不敢看他，赔笑道：“大师兄的吩咐，小弟们都已遵命办妥。” 这大师兄“哼”了一声，毒蛇般的目光，在祭台上四个人面上扫了一眼，忽然阴恻恻一笑，道：“这些人也该醒了。” 他嘴里说着话，“刷”的打开了折扇，在这四人的脸上各各扇了扇，朱泪儿只觉一股异味传来，令人作呕。 但她的头脑却立刻清醒，再看俞佩玉、胡姥姥也吃惊地睁开眼睛，只有银花娘还未回过神来。 这大师兄目光又是一扫，咯咯大笑道：“想不到名满天下的胡姥姥，今日竟也会落在我桑二郎的手里。” 他这句话刚说完，胡姥姥和俞佩玉的神情竟都已镇定下来，朱泪儿面上却故意作出惊吓之态，大声道：“你是什么人？咱们怎会到这里来的？” 桑二郎也不答话，却用折扇指着她鼻子道：“你就是销魂宫主的女儿么？” 朱泪儿道：“你既然知道我是谁，就该赶快放了我，免得后悔。” 桑二郎冷冷一笑，道：“好个伶牙俐齿的小姑娘，但你若再说一个字，我就敲下你一颗牙齿来。” 朱泪儿倒真真不敢再逞口舌之利了。 在怒真人、君海棠等人面前，她无妨气气他们，只因她知道这些人自持身份，心里纵然恼怒，也不会将她怎样。 可是这桑二郎却是什么事都能做得出来的，在这些人面前，她就犯不上吃这眼前亏了。 桑二郎又用扇子指了指俞佩玉，道：“你就是俞佩玉？” 俞佩玉道：“正是。” 桑二郎盯了他半晌，狞笑道：“果然是个小白脸，难怪本教教下三位堂主都对你着了迷，少时我若不让你这张脸变得和我一样，就算我对不起你。” 俞佩玉淡淡道：“阁下只望天下人的脸，都变得和阁下一样，是么？” 桑二郎目中立刻射出了凶光，忽然一个耳光掴在俞佩玉脸上，嘶声道：“你以为我这张脸天生就是这样子的么？告诉你……我我本来……” 他实在太激动，竟连话都说不下去了。 胡姥姥叹了口气，道：“可怜的孩子，你一定受过了'天蚕噬体'之刑，才会变成这样子的是么？我老婆子可以想得出你以前一定俊俏得很。” 桑二郎喘息着冷笑道：“究竟还是胡姥姥见多识广，竟连本教的天蚕噬体大刑都知道。” 朱泪儿忍不住道：“什么叫天蚕噬体呀？你脸上的肉难道都是被天蚕啃光的么。” 桑二郎阴森森笑道：“你用不着问我，你自己立刻就要尝到这滋味了。” 胡姥姥大呼道：“这姓俞的和这小丫头同我并没有什么关系，我老婆子和天蚕教也没有什么过节，你要将他们两人弄死，可不能将我老婆子也算上。” 桑二郎两眼一翻，无论胡姥姥再说什么，他都只当没有听见。 胡姥姥长叹了口气，说道：“俞佩玉，俞公子，你不是很聪明的么，这次怎会叫了辆恶鬼拉的马车来。” 俞佩玉也只有在暗中叹息，那时他心里只惦念着朱泪儿的安危，竟没有留意到这马车很奇怪。 朱泪儿瞧着他这模样，眼睛也湿了，咬着嘴唇道：“我知道四叔这全是为了我，若不是我，四叔也不会上当的。” 俞佩玉勉强笑道：“这不关你的事，只怪我竟未想到天蚕教是绝不会放过银花娘的，她……” 突听银花娘大喊道：“桑二郎，你怎么将我也绑在这里了？快放我下去。” 她功力失去后，体力实已比一个全不会武功的人还要脆弱，别人都已醒了很久，她却直到现在才醒过来。 桑二郎背负着双手，冷笑道：“二姑娘，现在你还想对我发威么？” 银花娘怒道：“姓桑的，你莫忘了，你只剩下一口气时，是谁救了你的？” 桑二郎道：“不错，是你救了我的，但若非你在教主面前说我调戏你，教主又怎会令我受那天蚕噬体的苦刑？” 他目中又射出了凶光，冷冷道：“何况你这次背叛了教主，谁也无法再救你，但你若能和我一样，也能将天蚕大刑挨过去，我念在昔日之情，也会给你生路。” 银花娘一张脸早已吓得扭曲起来，颤声道：“你算了，教主就是我的爹爹，他怎会要我受那样的酷刑。” 桑二郎冷笑道：“不会么？” 银花娘嘶声道：“他自然不会的，你快放了我吧。” 桑二郎沉着脸，道：“你可知道，自从你瞒着教主，偷了销魂宫的藏宝，教主已令我在暗中盯着你了，在李渡镇外那坟场中，你若肯俯首认罪，束手就缚，也许还会罪减三等……” 他顿了顿，接道：“只恨你竟仗着外人之力，来与本教对抗，由此可见，你实已早有了背叛本教之心，你此刻还有何话说？” 银花娘失声道：“在那坟场中，原来只不过是你在捣鬼？” 桑二郎道：“自然是我，若是教主自己，你还活得到现在么？” 银花娘恨恨道：“我早就知道你不是人，你果然是个畜生。” 桑二郎狞笑道：“但现在你却已落在畜生手里了，你以为你能逃得过本教的追踪，其实我一直在李渡镇外等着你，直到你在大火中被俞放鹤属下抓住，我将你救了出来，为的就是要你也尝尝我身受的滋味。” 他得意地大笑着接道：“但是我却也未想到这三个人竟会自己送上门来，这姓俞的那时失魂落魄，瞧见我就像瞧见救星似的，却不知我正是他的催命鬼。” 朱泪儿叹了口气，道：“现在我才知道原来是这么回事，原来这只不过是你的运气不错而已。”
