Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Death of His Parents
The servants in the palace ran back and forth, all of which were nervously carried out. Li Lang's gaze never left the room in front of him, his fists clenched, and his nervousness was overflowing.
Ling Pingyang walked over, a hand on his shoulder, as if to reassure him, Li Lang patted his hand and looked at him in a daze: "Senior brother, today's birthday of my father, but ......" Li Lang did not continue, everyone understood what he was going to say. It was supposed to be a birthday, but it could have become a sacrifice of death.
The flames soared into the sky, lighting up the night and illuminating the sky red, but it made Li Lang's heart completely darken.
When the house in front of him was burned to the frame, a blackened pillar collapsed, raising a cloud of charred dust, and the fire was finally extinguished. Li Lang couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed in and went to find the two figures he was familiar with.
Ling Pingyang followed in, waving the dust in his hand, but saw two blackened corpses on the bed. His heart sank, and his face darkened. Dongfang Yunrui and the others also saw this scene and sighed silently.
Li Lang had no expression on his face, he walked over step by step, walked to the bedside, but suddenly collapsed to the ground, reaching out to touch the two bodies, but when he reached out to the air, he paused, his eyes were red, his movements were stagnant, but he still slowly covered his hand on it, he lay on the blackened bed frame that had been burned, and muttered to himself: "Father, mother." ”
There were no more superfluous words, but everyone present was moved.
Ling Pingyang stepped forward to help him up, but he couldn't help him. He sighed: "Xiao Lang, my uncle and aunt have passed away, what we have to do is to find out who killed them, put away the grief first, and go to find the murderer with my senior brother." ”
Li Lang was silent and did not answer.
Ling Pingyang had no choice but to continue to convince him: "Xiao Lang, you weren't like this before, where is your pride and your courage." How can my uncle and aunt want to see you so decadent?"
Li Lang looked at the anxiety between his eyebrows and smiled: "Senior brother, this is my father and mother, they are gone, they are gone, what do I want to do with this pride." "Although Li Lang has rarely gone home since he went to the Medicine King Valley, he is his biological parents after all. Some people, even if they ignore it wishfully, but once they really leave, those warm feelings will really emerge and you can't ignore them.
Murong Qingxue looked at Dongfang Yunrui, and he nodded. walked up to Li Lang and said, "Brother Lang, I understand your feelings. The most painful thing in the world is life and death, you can be sad or decadent, but after this, you have to stand up. What we have to do is to give the dead rest in peace, and to find out who harmed them. Are you right?"
I don't know if Li Lang listened to it, there was a trace of emotion on his face, but it was hidden under the sadness, and he could hardly detect it.
"Qingxue, you're right, it's just that it's not difficult. I want to be what you think I want to be, but how can I accept that things are wrong in one day? I'd rather die at this time. ”
Murong Qingxue sighed and shook her head, she had experienced her relatives dying in front of her, so she understood Li Lang very well, she squatted down and looked at him seriously: "Brother Lang, you can't say that." If it is you who die today, then it is your uncle and aunt who suffer. How can you bear to leave the pain of this white-haired man to a black-haired man? I understand you, watching a loved one die in front of you, the pain of the heart cannot be expressed in words, as if the heart is dead. But as long as we live, their hope is there. I believe that although my uncle and aunt are dead today, their hearts are at peace. When they left, their favorite son was by their side, so they would have no regrets. ”
Li Lang knew in his heart that Murong Qingxue was comforting him, but he was also telling the truth. has grown so big, and I have always had a knot with my mother, but today it has been untied, and it can be said that there is no regret, sighing faintly.
Murong Qingxue saw that he was moved, so he relaxed a little. It's just that he thought of a suspicious point, so he asked, "Brother Lang, can you hear their cries for help today?"
Li Lang was stunned and shook his head. Ling Pingyang also shook his head: "Xiao Lang and I were drinking in the room, and we didn't hear anything unusual, if it weren't for the noise of the servants in the courtyard fighting the fire, I guess I wouldn't know about it." ”
Murong Qingxue said: "Yun Rui and I didn't hear it, we just rushed over when we saw a fire." His eyes turned to look at Dongfang Juechen, and Dongfang Jiechen waved his hand again and again: "I fell asleep quickly today, and I was also woken up by the noise." ”
But isn't it strange that there is no cry for help when a fire breaks out in the house? No matter how strong a person's perseverance is, how can he withstand the burning pain of the fire?
Dongfang Yunrui lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "That is a possibility, the second elder of the Li family was stunned or killed first, and then the murderer set the fire." ”
It's really possible.
Li Lang clenched his fists, and a cold look appeared in his eyes: "No matter who dares to hurt my father and mother, I will not spare him." ”
Although the young man in the past suddenly had such an expression, although he was very surprised, it was not surprising that he was in love.
Just as a few people were pondering in the room, the sound of fighting suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and several people hurriedly ran out of the door.
In the courtyard, a man in black was surrounded by servants, and the two sides faced each other with swords, and it was obvious that the servants of the Li Mansion had a slight advantage. The man in black looked like he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he didn't take these servants seriously at all.
Seeing that all the servants were beaten to the ground, Li Lang ordered all the servants to retreat, jumped into the air, and directly attacked the man in black. The man in black didn't expect a person to suddenly appear, but there was still a sneer in his eyes, and he didn't seem to take him seriously. It's just that he regretted it in the next second.
The young man who fought with him had a cold face on his face, and his attack was extremely sharp, which caught him off guard. Even if he held a long sword in his hand, he couldn't resist his bare hands.
Li Lang already has profound skills and strange moves, coupled with hatred in his heart, he has no reservations. The bottomless look in his eyes made the man in black feel a kind of fear in his heart, and he couldn't help but mess up his moves, and he was knocked to the ground in a few rounds.
If it was before, Li Lang would definitely spare someone's life, after all, there were never any dead people under the Medicine King Valley. It's just that the person in front of him is the murderer who killed his parents, how can he still be calm. At that moment, he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the man in black retreated step by step, but in the end there was no way to avoid it, so he had to fight to the death. Li Lang jumped forward and slapped him with all his might. The man in black closed his eyes tightly, ready to die.
He didn't die, Dongfang Yunrui was in front of him and restrained Li Lang.
"Get out of the way!" Li Lang roared.
Dongfang Yunrui didn't care about him, just said: "Are you going to kill him, or do you want to know the instigator behind the scenes?"
Li Lang was stunned and slowly put down his hand.
Ling Pingyang stepped forward and said: "Xiao Lang, Dongfang is right, this person, don't kill him first, wait until we find out the mastermind behind the scenes, when the time comes, what you want to do, senior brother will help you." ”
Li Lang took a step back, the chill on his face did not fade, but it was clear that he agreed.
