Xiao Qi didn't open the package completely, just revealing the neatly folded collar, he held the package in front of Gongsun Ling with trembling hands, and kept pointing to the lower release of the collar, signaling Gongsun Ling to check.

Gongsun Ling only glanced at it slightly, because she knew that there were two words embroidered on this position: lotus lotus. At that time, when Sister-in-law Lin gave the skirt to Gongsun Ling, she also mentioned it to Gongsun Ling, and her name was embroidered on it.

This skirt was the only trip that Lao Lin and his wife went out to ten years ago, when the two stayed in Wu County for half a month, Lao Lin specially led her to the tailor's shop. The material of the skirt is not even medium, but for the poor people who live in poverty, in the eyes of Sister-in-law Lin, it is already a luxury like silk and satin.

Because she often has to go to the field to farm, Sister-in-law Lin is reluctant to wear it on weekdays, only on the festive days of the New Year's Festival, she will take it out and put it on, every time she wears it carefully, she is afraid of touching the dust, sticking to the mud, and hooking the silk.

Of course, it is impossible for Gongsun Ling to know these things, when Sister-in-law Lin gave her a dress, she just said that she was old, and the style and color of this skirt were no longer suitable for her to wear.

"Xiao Qi, you let me see this name...... Gongsun Ling snorted, grabbed Xiao Qi's arm excitedly, and looked him up and down, "Could it be that you know the owner of the skirt?" Is your name Lin Qi......?"

Xiao Qi nodded tremblingly, babbling in response, and his face under the mask was already full of tears. Gongsun Ling immediately pulled Xiao Qi's left hand, although there were also several scars around his wrists, but the black mole was obvious at a glance.

Gongsun Ling was overjoyed, and subconsciously wanted to shout, she wanted to call Chu Poyu and Qingfeng, and wanted to tell them that she had finally found the son of Lao Lin and his wife, but unfortunately no one shared it with her at this time.

In addition, looking at Lin Qi's current appearance, joy did not stay in Gongsun Ling's heart for too long. Then it turned into an indescribable discomfort and helplessness. Lao Lin and his wife were worried about their son who had been thinking about them all the time, and before going out, he was still a scholar who could read and write, but now he was not only disfigured, but he couldn't even speak.

Gongsun Ling remembered the entrustment of Lao Lin and his wife when they said goodbye to the Lin family. remembered their melancholy at that time, so she didn't think about anything else, and it happened that she was about to leave Luoxia Valley at this time, so she didn't say a word, and pulled Lin Qi out. It's just that Lin Qi ran a few steps behind Gongsun Ling. But suddenly shook off her hand, ran back with the package in his hand.

Gongsun Ling was inexplicably startled, looked back blankly, and immediately chased back. When she took Lin Qi's hand again and wanted to go out, Lin Qi seemed to have roots under her feet, and it took her a lot of effort to pull him.

And Lin Qi saw that he couldn't shake off Gongsun Ling's hand, so he simply knelt down directly. His move frightened Gongsun Ling immediately let go and was stunned for a moment. Gongsun Lingcai went to help him and explained in a low voice, "Xiao Qi, you get up quickly, I just want to send you home, don't be afraid, I don't want to hurt you, you get up quickly." ”

"Porphyry...... Porphyry ...... Heh......" Lin Qi was anxious to speak, but he couldn't say anything, so he slapped himself angrily. Holding his head and crying, he joined in. From time to time, he pulled his hair, his eyes full of tears, and looked at Gongsun Ling longingly, hoping that she could read it.

Pity. Gongsun Lingyi wanted to leave Luoxia Valley, she didn't notice the look in Lin Qi's eyes, and she didn't have time to ponder Lin Qi's thoughts at this time, so she only cared about persuading him to get up. It's just that no matter how much she says, Lin Qi just refuses to move. In the end, he almost fell to the ground.

And after Lin Qi listened to Gongsun Ling's words about the Lin family, he suddenly pushed hard and pushed the defenseless Gongsun Ling to the ground. And he took advantage of this gap to get up and immediately escaped from Gongsun Ling's sight.

Gongsun Ling snorted in annoyance, got up and chased after her, but after turning a corner, she didn't catch up with Lin Qi, but met Wen Rushi head-on.

Gongsun Ling was about to retreat to avoid it, but it was too late, because Wen Ru had already walked towards her, and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Gongsun, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?" It's cold at night, be careful not to provoke typhoid fever. ”

"If it's a girl, it's so late, haven't you also slept either?" Gongsun Ling turned around and asked, although the lantern and candle under the eaves were dim, she still didn't dare to face Wen Ruye's eyes.

Wen Ru smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "After dinner, when I saw Xiao Qi busy cleaning up in the kitchen, he kept frowning, and seemed to be very uncomfortable. ”

At this time, Gongsun Ling smelled an unpleasant smell of bitter medicine, and only then did he see the steaming bowl of steaming but black-looking things in his hand, "Is Xiao Qi sick?" How did he get it like this? What was the injury on his body? Has he always lived in the Valley of Luoxia? ”

Gongsun Ling had no time to think too much, and in front of Wen Rushi, she couldn't hide too many thoughts at all, and she also wanted to know the truth. She remembered that Lao Lin and his wife had said that their son had disappeared when he was out on an errand, and it had been four years since then.

Wen Ru frowned, recalling the past, "I don't know the specific situation, I only remember that three years ago, when Yi brought him back, he was almost dead." At that time, he was covered in blood, and his tongue had been pulled out, and there was nothing good on his body, but all wounds. It took Yi five days, almost sleepless, to save him. ”

Gongsun Ling was stunned, remembering the twisted scar he saw on Lin Qi's wrist when he rolled up his sleeve just now. And although Lin Qi has always worn a mask, she can't see what the mask's face looks like, but the mask covering the whole face can't hide the scars on his face.

What kind of person would torture a person so viciously! Gongsun Ling clenched her fists, imagining the picture that Wen Ru had just described, she couldn't wait to kill the culprit who tortured Lin Qi and kill him quickly!

And Wen Ru looked at Gongsun Ling, who was a little distracted, so he gently pushed her, "Miss Gongsun, are you okay?" It's too late, your injuries haven't healed yet, so it's better to go back to your room and rest early. After Gongsun Ling came back to her senses, she told her again, and then turned around and left with peace of mind.

Gongsun Ling took a step forward, patted Wen Ruye's shoulder, met her clear and kind eyes, and begged, "If it's a girl, I'll go with you." (To be continued.) )
