Yu Wu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a strong desire to survive, and he begged desperately: "Brother Wu, save me, save me!"

Hearing him crying for help, Brother Wu grinned. His strength is extremely strong, but it is not comparable to a little girl like Chun'er. Seeing that he used his arms together, he roared in a low voice, and actually pulled Yu Wusheng up.

The frightened Yu Wu rolled around on the damp deck a few times before he stabilized himself. Chun'er had already pounced and said anxiously, "Brother, are you okay?"

Yu Wu hurriedly took off the remaining rope from his waist and threw it away from afar, only then he raised his head tiredly and said hoarsely: "Don't worry, my brother is fine!"

The man surnamed Wu squatted down in front of Yu Wu, he still had half of his tattered clothes in his hands, his gloomy eyes stared at Yu Wu tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Stinky boy, you actually hid under the boat with a weak heart, does the death of those two people really have anything to do with you?"

Yu Wu half-hung his head, smiled bitterly, and said in a dumb voice: "Brother Wu, thanks to your care these days, if you also want to get those rewards, just take me." But I didn't kill anyone, even if it was against the official, I said the same thing, I didn't kill anyone. ”

"Reward?" Brother Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the ugly scars on his cheeks twitched slightly, looking extremely hideous.

He raised his head to look at the rolling dark river, and said proudly: "I also spent a lot of money back then, even if my family is surrounded by walls now, I didn't take these rewards in my eyes. Boy, if you kill someone, I'll hand you over even if you don't have a reward. If you hadn't killed anyone, I'd have saved you, even if it's a thousand dollars. ”

"Brother Wu, brother, he didn't kill anyone, he really didn't kill anyone...... Actually, I killed them, I killed them!" Chun'er grabbed Brother Wu's sleeve in horror, and her little face was covered with stains and tears.

Yu Wu scolded sharply: "Little sister, shut up, you can't admit what you haven't done." Have you forgotten how your father died? He just shouldn't have been tortured and confessed to the crime indiscriminately before he was sentenced to death. ”

"But, it's ......." Chun'er twisted her fingers and peeked at Brother Wu, whose face was sinking like water, and the horror in her eyes was pitiful.

"Wait, don't talk!" Brother Wu suddenly raised his hand, he listened vigilantly for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "Someone is coming again, if you believe me, come with me." He was the first to stand up and quickly disappear into the shadows of the deck.

"Brother, what should I do?" Xi'er wrapped her arms around her arms and looked at Yu Wu beside her with a look of horror.

Yu Wu hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely said: "I believe that on this ship, only Brother Wu will not harm me." Let's go, let's follow. ”

.......

The last shimmer of light in the sky had vanished, as if it had been splashed with thick ink, leaving only darkness. The stars that had fallen in the past were gone, and there was only the sound of the whistling wind in my ears. Hua Liyue was running on the deck of the black hole, she didn't know where she wanted to go, she only knew that she had to escape as soon as possible.

Her long hair fluttered at the back of her head, tangled with the bitter wind. There was nothing at her feet, and every foot felt like she was in an endless abyss. She breathed heavily, the cold, piercing breath running down her nose and into her body, as if to freeze her internal organs into ice cubes.

She didn't dare to pause, because she didn't know what was hidden in the darkness, she just wanted to fight with all her strength to escape from this endless darkness that suffocated her. She looked around blankly, but found that she had been running for a long time, and she didn't see a single figure. The noisy cargo ship was dark and silent at the moment, and everyone seemed to disappear out of thin air.

The fear in Hua Lianyue's heart grew, and she looked around blankly and helplessly with her arms around her, like a trembling little beast.

"Knock knock!" suddenly came a heavy knocking sound from all directions, and the sound seemed to hit her heart, and each blow made her heart hit her chest with it.

"Ah Hui, Ah Hui, where are you?" she covered her ears and opened her mouth to call, but found that her voice seemed to be blocked by something, so she could only close one by one in vain, but she couldn't make a sound at all.

"Yue'er, Yue'er, wake up, you're having a nightmare!"

Hua Lianyue suddenly opened her eyes blankly. But she saw Liu Hui, who she couldn't find in her dream, looking at herself with anxiety on her face. Stunned, she found that there were lanterns hanging under the porch, candlesticks burning on the table, and the bright flames finally dispelled the gloom in her heart.

"Knock knock!" someone knocked on the door firmly and patiently.

Feng Qi asked in a vigilant voice, "Who?"

An unfamiliar male voice came from outside: "An old friend, asking to see the former Lord Huo of Meiling County." ”

"Old friends?"

Feng Qi looked back at Liu Hui, who was sitting next to the soft collapse, his eyes full of doubts.

Liu Hui raised his eyebrows and looked down at Hua Lianyue, who had just woken up from a nightmare.

Hua Liyue struggled to sit up, and she raised her hand to stroke the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears. After thinking for a while, he whispered to Liu Hui: "Open the door! If you are looking for trouble, you will not be so polite." ”

Liu Hui hooked his lips and smiled, and said calmly: "You have thought of a place with me!" He bowed slightly at Feng Qi, and Feng Qi immediately pulled the door bolt neatly and let in the fierce Brother Wu.

"It's you!" Hua Liyue didn't expect to meet her old acquaintance Wu Qingfeng on this ship.

Liu Hui also remembered the scar on his cheek deeply, and immediately remembered that he was the former son of the Marquis of Huaiyang who took Ye Wushuang to escape the pursuit and lived in seclusion in Meiling Town.

Wu Qingfeng grinned, hugged his fist at Liu Hui Hua Lianyue, and said: "I haven't seen each other for many years, Lord Huo and Hua Zhuai have actually become husband and wife, congratulations, congratulations!"

Liu Hui and Hua Lianyue didn't expect that after many years, they would actually meet him on this cargo ship. Hua Lianyue took a closer look at him, and saw that he was wearing the coarse cloth jacket that boatmen wore most often, and was covered with a waterproof oil jacket and oil pants. The beard is scruffy, and there are a few more fine lines at the corners of the eyes, which looks a lot of vicissitudes.

"Brother Wu came to visit suddenly, but what's the matter?" Liu Hui had asked unceremoniously, although he didn't know why Wu Qingfeng suddenly appeared, but looking at his expression, it didn't seem that he was here to catch up with the past. Of course, they are already a few faces, and they can't talk about any friendship.

Wu Qingfeng also said unceremoniously: "The matter is urgent, I don't go around in circles with Master Huo, I'm here for a little brother." However, this matter is not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, so please meet me first and then talk about it in detail. ”

In everyone's stunned eyes, Wu Qingfeng strode to the window, pushed the closed window lattice, and leaned out. carried Yu Wu and Xi'er, who were hanging outside, into the house.

After seeing Yu Wu's face clearly, Hua Lianyue's expression froze, and she said in surprise: "It's you!"

After Yu Wu stood firm, the first thing he did was to kneel down at Hua Lianyue, and after kowtowing a few times in a row, he said, "Please atone for the young lady, this matter is ........"

Before he could say anything, Wu Qingfeng on the side was already impatiently said: "Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, it's not going to be like a mess outside, and I don't know how long it will be quiet here, you pick up the important words first and tell Lord Huo and the young lady." ”

Liu Hui also understood a little when he saw this scene, the frightened young man in front of him was the Yu Wu they were looking for. He frowned, and said sharply: "I want to hear what you are doing, you want to set a trap to frame my wife." ”

Yu Wu lowered his head in shame and whispered: "It's because I am eager for revenge, and I want to be crooked for a while, so I will do such a stupid thing......"

It turned out that Yu Wu and Xi'er were originally a pair of brothers and sisters, and their father broke into a family business in his early years. Five years ago, their father offended the villain because of his business, and was secretly framed for a life lawsuit.

And Xi Zhizhou tortured their father because of the benefits of the other party, their father was a businessman with no background, and he couldn't bear the pain, so he was beaten and sentenced to a decisive execution.

Their mother shouted injustices everywhere, but was ruthlessly refused, and let Xi Zhizhou's entourage break their legs with a stick, and finally died in hatred at home. Without the protection of their parents, how could their siblings keep the inheritance left by their father. Within three years, it was plundered by greedy clansmen.

The two siblings are full of hatred for Xi Zhizhou, who ruined their family, so they decide to infiltrate Xi Mansion and want to avenge their parents. After some tossing, Xi'er became a rough maid in the outer courtyard of Xi's mansion, and Yu Wu also became a buddy in the Xi family's shop.

It's a pity that when the prefect of Xi usually goes in and out, there are countless official guards around him, one of them is a rough girl in the outer courtyard, and the other is a little guy, who can't get close to Xi Zhizhou's side at all, and it is not easy to take revenge.

However, although Xi'er is young, the ordeal has made her shrewd, and she saw that Li Ruxiang was ambitious and would never be willing to be mediocre when she was in the outer courtyard. So Xi'er deliberately got close to her. Sure enough, Li Ruxiang hooked Xi Zhizhou's soul with means, successfully entered the inner courtyard, and became the girl in Mrs. Xi's room. Of course, Xi'er, who has always been well-behaved and obedient in front of her, was also brought into the inner courtyard by Li Ruxiang as a confidant.

Xi'er knew that the opportunity for revenge had come, but before she could think of a way, Xi Fu made the decision to move her family to the capital. Xi'er was sold to the Xi family, so she will naturally accompany her. And Yu Wu was just a guy who took the monthly example, and he was soon fired, so he could only secretly follow and find a way to board the cargo ship.

Because, this is the only chance for their siblings to avenge their parents.

Xi'er also kowtowed a few times at Hua Lianyue, and cried: "Young lady, it's my fault, I shouldn't have had the vicious intention of framing you after I knew that you had a grudge against Aunt Xiang." Originally, I just wanted to blame you for everything, but I didn't expect that when I entered the house, I found that Mrs. and Aunt Xiang had lost their breath. I was confused for a while, and when I heard you calling outside, I was so distracted that I deliberately broke a teacup to bring you in, and then knocked you unconscious with an incense burner. and he has made a mess of the house, and has given the appearance of a thief......"

Wu Qingfeng just listened to them crying and didn't kill anyone, but he didn't know that they had actually moved to kill people, but they didn't have time to do it yet. He frowned, rushed forward, waved his hand and slapped Yu Wu's face.

Yu Wu was blinded, only to feel a buzzing in his ears, his cheeks quickly swollen, and a bloody breath spread from his mouth.

Wu Qingfeng pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded with a hideous face: "Good boy, it turns out that you really planned to kill people, but you were just preempted by others! Yu Wu covered his red and swollen cheeks, and he didn't dare to raise his head in shame.

Xi'er straightened her waist, protected Yu Wu, and said sharply: "Don't hit him, this idea was thought of by me, and it has nothing to do with my brother." Besides, we just planned, but we didn't start, and we really didn't kill them. ”

Liu Hui's expression was solemn, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. Although the girl in front of her looked immature, because she was eroded by hatred day and night, her eyes were full of anger. Only when facing Yu Wu will he show his former innocence and coquettishness.

Hua Lianyue also looked indifferently at the seemingly helpless brother and sister in front of her, she was not moved by their tears and begging for mercy. In her eyes, the brother and sister who did not hesitate to frame innocent people for revenge no longer deserve her sympathy and do not deserve her mercy.

She suddenly felt a little astringent in her throat, so she picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip before saying, "Listen to what you mean, the enemy is just that Xi Zhizhou, why do you want to attack his wife and aunt?"

Xi'er's eyes revealed a strange light, and she also let it go, so she simply raised her head and looked directly at Hua Lianyue, and said: "Because Mrs. is not a good person, there are also many aunts who died in her hands in the backyard. In the past, there was a Hongyu sister who was very good to me, but unfortunately she was favored by the lord to make a room, and only half a year ago, she was caught by her wife and the handle of her private relationship with a foreign man, and was ordered by the master to sink into the pond.

I secretly went to see Sister Hongyu at night, and she kept crying to me, saying that she didn't have a private relationship with a foreign man at all, and that it was completely her wife who framed her. She also told me that several aunts in the house who had accidents were all killed by Mrs. Secretly.

Since this wolf-hearted couple can harm others as much as they want, why can't I repay them the way they want to do it?"

Hua Lianyue frowned and said, "What about Aunt Xiang, she seems to be good to you, why do you even want to hurt her?"

"Aunt Xiang!" Xi'er hooked the corners of her lips and showed a sneer: "Hmph, I originally thought she was good to me, until one time, she gave me a few bites of the snack that Madame gave her." That day, my stomach hurt all night, and by dawn I was vomiting a mouthful of blood. At that time, I knew that Aunt Xiang was kind to me, but she used me as a tool to test drugs. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless to her!"

"There's something I've always been curious about!" Hua Lianyue asked with interest: "Originally, you wanted to kill Mrs. Xi and Aunt Xiang to blame me, so how do you plan to treat the real enemy?"

Xi'er slowly clenched her fists and didn't speak. Yu Wu looked at her worriedly, and whispered, "Little sister, little sister, what's wrong with you?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Xi'er's eyes, she actually chuckled softly, and said slowly: "I never thought of killing him, because death is too cheap for him." Only by taking away what he cares about the most, making him worse than death, and making him feel painful, can he avenge my father and mother. ”

Seeing her strange appearance, Hua Lianyue's heart suddenly jumped, and she immediately asked, "Have you already attacked him?"
