Chapter Thirty-Six: Where Is the Jade?
His wife's beautiful face gradually aged in front of him, for the old man, that scene is a pain that can never be forgotten, he was thirty-two years old that year, his family was quite solid, the high hall was alive, the children were complete, and his wife was only twenty-eight years old.
In the blink of an eye, she was no longer beautiful, more like a fifty-year-old woman, with an ugly scar on her face and white hair on her sideburns, which shocked him. He felt even more guilty, he wanted to appease her fright because of her appearance, but he never thought that one day he would see her body in the river.
"Luo, Luo Yong's family, you, you are from Luo Yong's family, how did you become like this?"
"How so?"
"Ahh
“......”
The uninformed people in the village gradually stayed away from the ugly wife, and in order to prevent others from knowing that the holy relics in Mochizuki Town were things that demanded people's lives, the old elders did not allow Luo Yong to tell such a fact, and the county order at that time did not allow anyone to interfere with his political achievements.
So the wife can only silently endure the fingering of others, but under Luo Yong's comfort, the wife still feels a little warm, at least everything she does is worth it, as long as this home is still there, it is enough for her.
However, when Luo Yong suddenly woke up from a nightmare one day, he was even more startled when he saw the ugly scar on the face of the person in his arms, but he never thought that his wife, who would wake up at some point, saw Luo Yong's disgusted expression and turned around to hide his face and cry.
Luo Yong hurriedly comforted him, just when he thought that his wife who had quieted down was fine, he never thought that the next day would usher in a bad news.
"My wife died, in a dry well outside the city. ”
The old man said flatly, the tears in his eyes had dried up, and his eyes had become dim, and his eyes were empty.
"It's all because of this life-threatening thing, which took my wife's life. ”
He finally told the truth, but in the calm narrative was anger and remorse.
Angry at Silvermoon for taking his wife's life, remorseful for not being brave enough to tell the truth to the others.
The old man at this moment looks very pitiful, at least in Jiang Yusen's eyes, like a down-and-out man with a bleak evening, mourning his deceased wife all the time.
However, in Jiang Yusen's eyes, the old man was only pitiful, and the next sentence broke the sad atmosphere.
The hot bowl was already a temperature that people could adapt to, and the dry wood in the stove next to it was jumping and screaming, and the howling cold wind blew open the closed doors and windows.
Chen Yan and Jiang Yusen walked over one after another, and when the biting wind was blocked from the solid wall, another sentence made the old man who seemed to be sitting suddenly move.
"You just ...... Say, what?"
The old man looked at Chen Yan at the door, his dry eyes blinking slowly, and the vibration was difficult to hide.
"Everything in this world is about equal exchange, feelings, growth, money. In this family, you not only have a wife, but also children and parents, why is it not them who save you but your wife, who is not related by blood...... Outsiders?"
Chen Yan said lightly, approaching the old man at the table step by step, there was no human emotion in his cold eyes, his real eyes were empty, condescending,
"It wasn't Silver Moon Radiance who killed her, nor you, but your family. ”
"Nonsense!
"Is it really me talking nonsense? Isn't it your work to use so-called feelings to cover up your selfish and ruthless behavior? ”
"You...... You ......" The old man trembled with anger, pointing to Chen Yan in the distance and was speechless.
"Deep down in your heart, you know these things, but you subconsciously deny them, because you want it to be like this, don't you?
————
It was as if a hammer had hit the position of his chest, and the qi that had been stagnant in the depths of his throat suddenly opened up, and Luo Yong saw a pair of black eyes.
In the deep and endless abyssal black cold pool, Luo Yong seemed to see the faces he once had, his wife who walked into the house in a red wedding dress, and the face that turned red because of her shyness.
Shocked, hesitant, and at a loss, but at the last moment it condensed into a relieved smile.
"It turned out to be ......"
After a long silence, Jiang Yusen soothed the old man's eyes,
He ...... He's dead. ”
"Where's the jade?" Chen Yan asked, scanning the contents of the room around, but he didn't find any sign of the Silver Moon's Radiance.
It's just that Chen Yan is very indifferent in Jiang Yusen's eyes at this moment, and there is no emotion, just like the sword in his hand is a ruthless weapon.
"Great, sir, you...... Nothing to say?"
Jiang Yusen looked at him, looking a little timid, as impermanent as usual, but in his heart he was shocked by Chen Yan's disregard for life.
The latter just glanced at him coldly, and then said,
"My mission is to find the jade, at any cost! If you can't find the Shine of the Silver Moon, none of you people in Mochizuki Town will survive!"
"You!" Jiang Yusen looked at him, shocked, he knew the ruthlessness of those people, but he didn't expect to threaten himself at the cost of a city delay.
"Where is the jade?" Chen Yan approached him, pressing step by step, he no longer had the patience to look for and wait, these boring people and things had consumed too much of his time, and now all he wanted was the result.
Jiang Yusen met his gaze, and for the first time made a silent resistance in front of this captain, but ...... He is not Tao Zikite after all, and this is not the time for Chen Yan to tolerate him.
At this moment, Chen Yan is like a hungry lion on the grassland, he will not miss any prey passing in front of him, and he will never tolerate any animal provocation.
"I said, where is the jade!"
Chen Yan's hand was on Jiang Yusen's neck, and the cold voice carried a chill in the latter's ears as if it could be blown into ice.
The condescending coercion made Jiang Yusen breathless, at this moment, Chen Yan was like a hellish Shura, he could take the lives of the people in this city at any time, Jiang Yusen believed that he could do it.
The palm of his hand climbed up Luo Yong's neck, ripped off the jade pendant he had been wearing on his chest, and handed it to the person in front of him.
"This is the jade pendant you wanted, Lord Chen. ”
Ordinary green jade, and there are defective cracks, as if it can be broken at any time, Chen Yan took the jade suspiciously, and Luo Yong's body temperature remained on it.
"Go back and inform the people in Mochizuki Town to pack their luggage, and if I don't come back tomorrow night, you will take these people all the way east, the faster you go, the better, do you hear clearly?"
"Why? Lord Du Wei cares about the life and death of these fools!" Jiang Yusen said with a sneer.
