Chapter 13: Revenge
Li Anyue trembled and read the letter over and over again, trying to confirm whether it was wrong, tears had blurred the content of the letter, but now her world was blurred.
How can this be, my mother is not my mother, I am the daughter of a general, so how did my father and mother die? Who are those people? Did they kill Li Anyue's biological parents, and now they killed her mother? Why? Why?
Li Anyue wiped her tears and picked up the red purse, which was embroidered with a phoenix with gold thread, noble and magnificent. Li Anyue poured the contents of the purse into the palm of his hand, it was a jade Buddha made of jadeite, the color was green and transparent, it was a rare ice jade, and it was also a valuable thing to look at now.
"I heard that more than ten years ago, the whole province was killed because of the fire caused by fireworks on the day of the Lantern Festival, so to speak......," Lin Yuanqing muttered as he looked at the letter.
"It's not a fire, it's a door." Jin Susu answered. "Old man, do you think it will be the same as what happened to us that year?"
"Most likely, it's all the same means, the same cruelty."
"Master, did you notice anything when you went to the village that day?" Li Anyue gradually calmed down, and folded the letter and the eight characters of his birthday little by little and put them in his arms.
"When I went there, the village was already in ashes, but I found that the people who had been charred were not in the same terrible condition as the fire, so I thought ......"
"Those people were killed before the fire."
"Master, these people have committed such a serious crime, is there no one to care?" Li Anyue trembled in disbelief.
"According to the letter, your father was the emperor's favorite general in Tianyang Country back then, and after he was wiped out overnight, the imperial court still didn't say anything, and even let this matter sink into the sea, which proves that this murderer may have great power, so that the emperor has nothing to do with him, or even the emperor is deceived by him."
"Also, Yue'er, when I went to your house, there were only two corpses, it seems that your mother and your stepfather belonged to them, and you didn't see your sister, is your sister still alive?"
Is Su Yulan still alive? Li Anyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard it, although she had no feelings for her, but if she was still alive, her mother would have descendants.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Li Anyue remembered that the weather was cold, and the body of the master and the master was not suitable to stay outside for a long time, so she got up and went back.
At night, Li Anyue lay on the bed, constantly rubbing the letter in her hand, combing what happened in her mind over and over again, and some of her previous doubts after understanding her life experience were gradually solved.
I remember that when I first returned home after being reborn, Li Meifang said to myself that her identity was more noble than the people around her, at that time I was still thinking about whether my father was the young master of a big family, and I didn't expect that he was actually the general of Tianyang Kingdom, and Li Meifang was always very accommodating to herself, I used to think that it was just a mother's love for her daughter, but now I think about it in addition to pampering and respect, because according to my identity, I am the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and Li Meifang is only my own nurse, So every time she has a conflict with Su Yulan, Li Meifang always stands on her side for no reason.
And in the past month, Li Meifang's performance has been a little unusual at times.
A month ago, Peach Blossom Village.
"Mother, there is another candy gourd seller at the entrance of the village, and Lan'er wants to eat it too." As soon as she finished lunch, Su Yulan pestered Li Meifang to buy sugar gourds to eat.
Li Meifang didn't speak, just frowned and went into the room to give her a penny, and sat at the table alone and sighed from time to time. Su Yulan ran out happily when she got the money, and glanced at Li Anyue proudly before going out.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Li Anyue naturally didn't like a child's thing like a sugar gourd, and she didn't bother with her, but she found that Li Meifang always frowned deeply during this time, and sighed from time to time.
"Yue'er, do you want to eat sugar gourds too?" Li Meifang saw Li Anyue coming over and wanted to get her money.
"No, mother, Yue'er doesn't want to eat it." Li Anyue pulled her to sit down, "Mother, aren't you happy?" ”
"No, no, maybe I'm tired."
"Mother, you have to rest more, don't get tired of your body, I'll do the housework." Li Anyue knew that Li Meifang didn't want to tell her the reason, so she didn't ask more.
"Yue'er." After a while, Li Meifang took Li Anyue's hand and said, "During this time, there are a lot of strangers in the village, don't run out if you're fine." ”
Li Anyue said that Li Meifang also noticed that in the past, there was basically only a caravan passing by every month, and now there are merchants selling all kinds of small things to the village almost every day, and there are occasional pedestrians who spend the night, and the usually quiet small village is inexplicably noisy, although Li Anyue feels strange but can't figure out why.
"Mother, don't worry, Yue'er is so old, she won't be abducted."
"Anyway, stay at home if it's okay, no matter what anyone asks you, you just don't care." Li Meifang still had a worried expression, and went out by herself after speaking.
Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that Li Meifang noticed that the village was inexplicably noisy during this time, maybe because of this, and most of the people who came to the village came to inquire about the news.
Whether it is the death of his biological father or Li Meifang's death, it should have a great connection with these people, according to the letter, these people are the same people, and they are cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, if it is for themselves, then it means that they may also be this group of people in the future. But why do you want to do it? Is there some secret in it? Master said that this murderer may have great power, so what is his purpose in doing this?
Li Anyue frowned and fell asleep thinking about it, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she was not a person who liked to think, and so many things at once made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Early the next morning, Li Anyue solemnly told her master and mother her decision, and as she thought, she was rejected as soon as she said it.
"No, Yue'er, you can't do this!" Lin Yuanqing put away his usual hippie smile and said seriously.
"Yes, your mother also said that she hopes you can live safely, it will be very dangerous for you to go out here." Jin Susu also persuaded distressedly.
"Master, Master, now I know that my biological father and mother and my mother who raised me for more than ten years were killed, and I was the daughter of a general but now I have become an orphan without a father and mother, I have the responsibility and obligation to find out the reason, it is Yue'er begging you." Li Anyue did not compromise at all.
"These people are ruthless, I'm afraid that you have already been discovered by them before you find out, if something happens to you at that time, what should you do with me and your sister?"
"Then how can I know that my enemy can survive and live in peace?" Although her soul is not from here, she has lived here for nearly ten years, and she has long regarded Li Meifang as her mother, even if it is not for her biological parents, how can Li Meifang, who has raised herself for more than ten years, let her die without knowing it?
"I, your sister, and your father and mother all hope that you can live safely and happily."
"Master, Master, you know Yue'er's character, and how can I live happily when I know such a thing, if Yue'er is such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I am afraid that Master and Master will not look down on Yue'er. Moreover, if my father and my two mothers died because of me, those people would definitely be investigated to the end one day when I lived, and then Master and my mother would definitely be affected by me one day. ”
"Yue'er, your master and I have lived to this age, and we don't care about this old life, but we can't watch you die."
"Master, don't worry, although Yue'er is not smart, she is not stupid, so she will not die in vain. Now those people probably don't know that I'm still alive, and even if they know that I'm still alive, they don't know my location, as long as I go in the dark, they won't find out, and even if I find out, even if I can't beat me, I can escape with Master's 'One-Step Cloud Piercing Method', Master, Master, you just let me go." ”
Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu glanced at each other and knew that they couldn't convince Li Anyue, their apprentice personality has always been reported and reported, even if they don't agree, one day she will sneak out, rather than not knowing her news and being in a hurry, it is better to let her go now.
Li Anyue saw that the master and the mother nodded, and immediately hugged them happily. "Thank you, Master, Master, I plan to leave after the New Year."
"So fast?"
Li Anyue shook his head and said that time was pressing, "While those people haven't discovered my traces, my movement will be more convenient." ”
"Yue'er, my sister is really reluctant to ...... you" Jin Susu wiped her tears and hugged Li Anyue into her arms.
Li Anyue's tears also burst out of his eyes, how could he be reluctant to let go of the two old men in front of him, but whether it was for himself or for themselves, he had to leave.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Li Anyue solemnly bid farewell to Li Meifang, and reluctantly said goodbye to her master and mother. At this time, a young man in a blue shirt stood in front of the bamboo building, although the clothes on his body were just ordinary cotton and linen texture, but with that handsome face, the whole person suddenly had a bit of the taste of a noble son. Thinking that he didn't know anything about the world outside, and it was easy for a woman to attract bad guys outside, Li Anyue thought that it was more convenient for a woman to dress up as a man.
"Yue'er, once you step into the outside world, you need to be careful everywhere, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, you have only focused on light skills over the years, and you don't practice martial arts much, according to your martial arts, it is more than enough to meet ordinary thieves, but if you really meet a master, you have no power to fight back, but fortunately, your light skills are better than what the master taught, if you really meet a master, you can still escape if you can't beat it, and when the time comes, you can run, don't be reckless, Master......"
"Oh, okay, Master, you've said these words no less than eight hundred times, Yue'er has already taken it to heart, don't worry." Li Anyue had a headache and hurriedly interrupted Lin Yuanqing's earnest teachings.
"Yue'er, this package contains dry food and a change of clothes, as well as some medicines for wind and cold and bruises, and this porcelain bottle contains the antidote refined by Shi Niang, just in case. These silver taels were brought by the previous escape from the world, I don't know if they are still useful now, so you can bring them with you. Jin Susu explained the things prepared for Li Anyue over and over again.
Li Anyue looked at the two old men in front of her, and the tears that she had held back came out of her eyes again. "Master, Master, your kindness to Yue'er is like the grace of recreation, please accept Yue'er's three worships!" As he spoke, he solemnly knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu also choked her up, and all the care was in that deep gaze. Li Anyue turned around and left in three steps, until he couldn't see it, and then wiped his tears and rushed towards Peach Blossom Village.
Standing at the secret base and glancing at the Peach Blossom Village that had been turned to ashes, and then at the road leading to Yongfang Town on the other side, Li Anyue flew towards the path.
