Wanting to find out about Liuxiang Tingxue, the two naturally didn't plan to run away, and followed these people to a big house, which was more magnificent than other houses, and it seemed that the big brother of the horse gang lived with a big beard.

The leader of the squad rushed into the room and said, "Big brother, someone brought it." ”

Inside: "Come in." ”

The two of them were pushed into the big house.

The bearded man Chengming was sitting on a chair covered with unknown animal fur, and when he saw two people coming in, he frowned and said, "Who is singing during the day?"

"Me."

"Me."

Yuan Ye and Liuxiang Weiwei exited almost at the same time, and then looked at each other in embarrassment. It was a big trouble if I didn't make a confession beforehand.

The bearded man shook his head and said, "I mean, who sang that passion grass"

Yuan Ye chuckled in his heart, could it be that this guy wanted to use this kind of question about passion grass to narrow the distance between him and them, and then do something wrong. She tugged at the sleeve of Liuxiang Weiwei's coat and said to herself, "I sang it." ”

"Where did you learn this song?" surprised the two of them, and the bearded man asked her to sing it again in a daze, but asked where the song came from.

Yuan Ye said: "I learned it from my mother." ”

"Your mother" The bearded face was shocked, "Where is your mother, is she called Xue Liunian?"

Yuan Ye nodded: "That's right, my mother is Xue Liunian." She is now deceased. ”

"Passed away" The bearded man was very shocked, "How did she die she was not as old as me, how could she die so early"

Yuan Ye said angrily: "Back then, you went to our house every day to harass me, and my mother was so disturbed that she had to take me to Binhai City. She neither likes anywhere nor adapts to life there, but doesn't want to come back and be harassed by you. can only die in a foreign land. ”

The bearded man simply admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be so pressing, I should give her time and let her accept me slowly" said the guilty edict, and there were tears in the bearded man's eyes.

At this time, Liuxiang Weiwei naturally understood that this bearded man was one of Yuan Ye's mother's suitors back then. And it seems. I still can't forget Aunt Xue. During the day, they intercepted the convoy, probably hearing Yuan Ye's singing, so they escorted them over.

Wait for the bearded love xù gradually stabilized. Liuxiang Weiwei asked: "Uncle bearded, fourteen years ago, did a lingering fragrance listen to the snow came here?"

When the bearded man heard a few words from Liuxiang Tingxue, he immediately looked at Liuxiang Weiwei with a vigilant gaze.

Yuan Ye hurriedly said: "Don't try to deny it. We saw in our cell that he had died fourteen years ago on his way out. Did you kill him?"

Cheng Ming nervously defended: "I didn't, I didn't kill Brother Xue, he left the plateau by himself, he left." He never came back. ”

Yuan Ye and the two knew that Liuxiang Tingxue died in Liuli City, and the culprit was Liuxiang Fourth Master, of course, it could not be killed by this bearded man. But after all, he had imprisoned Liuxiang Tingxue, and he had the opportunity to be a scoundrel. How can you let it go

Yuan Ye said deliberately: "You killed him, of course he can't come back, or wouldn't you be a ghost?"

The bearded man became excited, and his excited beard was shaking: "I didn't say that I killed Brother Xue, it was really not my hand, you don't want to be a scoundrel and a good person"

"Good man" Yuan Ye is also angry with the beard, if he hadn't come to the door every day to beg for persecution, his mother would not have taken him away from home, and died in a foreign land, "A horse bandit said that he was a good person, who believed"

The bearded man was questioned by Yuan Ye with a mouth full of but irrefutable, and under his anger, he actually hugged his head and cried: "I didn't kill Brother Tingyu, I really didn't, I didn't attack him, I escorted him out of the wilderness and plateau safely, I persuaded him to go home and not go out again, but he didn't listen, he didn't listen"

Yuan Ye and Liuxiang Weiwei exchanged glances, what is the situation This bearded man actually knows that Liuxiang Tingxue is in danger

"Why did you persuade him not to go out, you know that someone wants to kill him" Liuxiang Weiwei said excitedly.

The bearded man was asked by Liuxiang Weiwei, and became vigilant: "I didn't say it, I didn't say anything." ”

Yuan Ye took advantage of the situation and said: "You said, your meaning is already very clear, you know that someone wants to kill him, and that person entrusts you to kill him first." Your conscience found out, and you didn't do it, but you sent him out of the wilderness and let others kill him. The person who entrusted you is not the fourth master of Liuxiang"

"How do you know" The words rushed out of his brain, and the bearded man realized his recklessness, "No, no, no, I didn't entrust me, and I didn't plan to murder Brother Tingxue"

Yuan Ye was furious, walked to the bearded table, slapped it heavily, and said: "You bearded, why are you so black-faced and cold-hearted, you listen to Brother Xue one by one, if you really think of him as a brother, how can you let him be murdered by others, and he will not avenge him Zhaoxue for fourteen years, are you worthy of calling him Brother Xue?"

"I" bearded man was choked by Yuan Ye, couldn't say a word, and was embarrassed to hug his head and cry again.

"What do you dare to say that you didn't take the murderer's money, you took the money and was shut up, let your brother be killed, you spent the money in exchange for your brother's life, not only did you not have the slightest repentance, but also spent it frankly, you are a person like a pig and a dog."

Faced with Yuan Ye's sonorous questioning, the bearded man was completely relieved, embarrassed and indignant, so he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Suddenly, he raised his head sharply and said: "Bold, when will it be your turn to question me, you are a prisoner I captured, and you still dare to question me, come here, pull me down and lock me up, lock me up"

Yuan Ye sneered: "Shut down, shut down, you forced my mother to die in a foreign country, let my brother be murdered, and now you have to arrest me and lock me up." You are an ungrateful, treacherous, white-eyed wolf who betrays his friends and betrays his lord for glory."

"Don't say it" The bearded man slammed his fist on the table, and the table shattered.

In this situation, the subordinates still can't see the problem These two girls are very important to the eldest brother, where do they dare to take advantage of the mind, respectfully invite the two into the cell, and then lock them up. He also sent two futons very carefully for the two of them to sleep on the floor. Where would the former prisoners be treated like this?

Yuan Ye spread the futon on the hay and said to Liuxiang Weiwei: "Sleep, it seems that we are not in danger for the time being, you sleep inside, I sleep outside, you can wake me up if there is any movement." ”

Sleep until midnight. Liuxiang Weiwei couldn't sleep anymore, scratching and scratching, itching all over, and Yuan Ye next to her turned over and went to sleep.

The next morning, Yuan Ye saw Liuxiang Weiwei staring at the dark circles and scratching all over.

"Sister Wei, what kind of disease are you ha" Yuan Ye looked worried, could it be that this group of horse bandits did something on the quilt

Liuxiang Weiwei said weakly: "I'm about to be bitten to death." Don't you have fleas in your quilt?"

Yuan Ye stretched out his hand and scratched his back and said, "I didn't feel itchy just now." When you say that, it seems to itch too. When he lifted his clothes, he saw the red bumps that had been bitten all over his body, "What is this, we herdsmen are accompanied by cattle and sheep all year round." There are many fleas in the hair of cattle and sheep, and being bitten by fleas is nothing at all, but it is uncomfortable to be bitten by a gadfly, which is called itching. Don't just listen to the lyrics in the novel, what is written in the blue sky and white clouds, and ride a horse and herd sheep with a thin leather whip in your hand. That's a superficial article. Underneath the clothes, there are fleas that can't be caught. ”

And so on until the afternoon. The bearded man finally mustered enough courage to recruit the two again.

As soon as they met, Yuan Ye asked, "Have you figured out what to do?"

"What to do," the bearded man looked strong and dry.

"Of course, it's to help correct the culprit and avenge Liuxiang Tingxue. Fourteen years. Are you going to let him die without turning a blind eye?"

The bearded man shook his head resolutely: "No, I can't correct it, I can do anything else for you." It just can't be corrected. ”

"Are you afraid that you will spit out the benefits of others, so how much money do you collect from him? Spit it out, spit it out, it's over, I'll compensate you for spitting out. ”

The bearded man still shook his head: "It's not about money, I can't say, I can't say." Let's go, let's go, don't come back. ”

finally met a witness, how could the two give up their beards and let them go, but they didn't leave.

The bearded man's subordinates saw that even the bearded man was a little afraid of these two women, so they naturally dared not be rude, and found a comfortable guest room for the two, and entertained them with good food and drink.

In addition to grinding the beard to death every day, Yuan Ye and the two asked him to testify and accuse Liuxiang of murdering Liuxiang Tingxue. The rest of the time is to visit the horse bandits' village.

After learning more about the living conditions of the horse bandits, Yuan Ye and Liuxiang Weiwei were shocked.

Horse bandits, the previous concept was to burn, kill and loot, eat meat and drink wine in large bowls, and be happy in the rivers and lakes, women are all robbed, or they are also female horse bandits in their own gang.

But the actual situation is that Mrs. Ma Bandit Zhai, the bearded wife who pursued Yuan Ye's mother, is a researcher of the ecological environment of the wilderness plateau, an environmental expert, an environmental protection volunteer, and a doctoral supervisor of ecology at a university. In a year, I spent two months in a university dealing with teaching tasks, one month communicating with foreign counterparts and participating in various seminars, and the rest of the time was spent on the wilderness plateau, sometimes taking students to collect information and conduct research on the spot, and sometimes accompanying the bearded man to gallop on the wilderness plateau. Life can't be arbitrary.

In addition to the eldest brother, many of the wives of the other second and third leaders are intellectual women who are disgusted with life in the big city, return to nature, and fall in love with the wilderness plateau, of course, the largest proportion is the local women of the wilderness plateau. However, no matter where they come from, none of them are robbed, they live arbitrarily, happily and lovingly.

In the face of such a horse bandit Zhuangzi, Liuxiang Weiwei can only use two words to describe her feelings.

Yuan Ye sighed with emotion: "Although these horse bandits have a lot of spirit seeds, but without a purple spirit concubine, you don't have to fight their ideas." ”

"Me"

After a month of soft grinding and hard foaming, the bearded man sent Liuxiang Weiwei to kneel, and refused to testify against Liuxiang Fourth Master. In desperation, the two had no choice but to leave the horse bandit manor.

The bearded man almost set off firecrackers to send them off. The horse bandits reluctantly bid farewell to the two, and the horse bandits were responsible for sending them safely to the nearest town. While playing, the two took the herdsman's vehicle to the deep plateau, Yuan Ye's home.

Seeing the small village that had been absent for nearly ten years, Yuan Ye excitedly rushed into the village, but he didn't see any villagers.

Follow the familiar streets and find your own house.

The closed door and the thick fallen leaves piled up in front of the door announce that this is an empty fast.

The blind old woman of the neighbor was still sitting in the doorway basking in the sun.

"Mother-in-law, where have all the people in the village gone" Yuan Ye asked the old woman.

The old woman said slowly in a tone that has not changed for thousands of years: "The young people are gone, they have gone to the city, the children are in the school, the old people have gone to graze, in June and July, the water and grass on the plateau are beautiful, the flowers are blooming, the women are going to beat flowers to make spices, and the mountains are dazzling."

The old woman's eyes were blinded by dazzle when she was young, so no matter who she talked to or what she said, it would eventually come down to dazzle.

Yuan Ye has always felt that the tone of the old woman's speech is very suitable for talking about horror accidents, and the unhurried tone seems to be slowly verifying the witch's death.

Pushing open the gate of his house, there was a thick field of persimmon tree leaves in the yard, which had been piled up for more than ten years, and it creaked when he stepped on it. Yuan Ye stretched out his hand to support the trunk of the persimmon tree in the courtyard, and a soft warm current flowed into the body along the arm, and the comfortable feeling made Yuan Ye seem to see himself swinging under the persimmon tree, grandpa roasting mutton, mother making a leather jacket, and her face was full of happiness.

Liuxiang Weiwei looked up at the huge persimmon tree, which had small green fruits, and could imagine how cute the orange lanterns would look like in autumn.

Suddenly, Liuxiang Weiwei's pupils shrank, and she seemed to feel that the persimmon tree was trembling, and the speed visible to the naked eye was that the leaves of the tree paused.

"Yuan Ye, what are you doing" Liuxiang Weiwei was shocked.

"Ah" Yuan Ye suddenly woke up from a comfortable dream, "What, Sister Wei"

Liuxiang Weiwei pulled the original leaf and said, "Look at this tree." ”

"This is the persimmon tree, and when I was young, it was like this." Yuan Ye said blankly.

"I'll let you open your eyes."

Yuan Ye opened the spiritual eye, and the persimmon tree was flowing with cyan spiritual energy, and then looked down at his body, the cyan spiritual energy was disappearing towards the dantian, and he instantly understood what was happening.

No wonder the persimmons on this tree are particularly delicious, it turns out that they have such a strong spiritual power.

Yuan Ye pulled out two small stools from the room, one for Liuxiang Weiwei and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, my spirit seed is going to attack again." ”

"The tree has a new color"

Yuan Ye nodded.

"How much white jade is there to fill the sky?"

"Not much."

"If we find the fire fox blood, let's go back to the Fragrance Garden."

Yuan Ye shook his head: "Where is the fire fox so easy to catch." ”

Not long after, the thirst of the original leaf spirit seed flares up as promised, and she trembles and thinks, this is the twelfth color, and if there are three more, she can completely get rid of this great aunt.

Holding the white jade in his hand, he frantically absorbed spiritual energy, and after the hunger and thirst were relieved, Yuan Ye rested for a while, went to the sheepfold in the backyard to dig out the box that had been handed over to the shortbread, opened the box, and took out the animal bones, and the lowest layer was placed with the white jade of the sky.
