Chapter 125: The Refinement of Life and Death
Xue Mingyang rubbed Chu Lingfeng's head: "I don't know if you are a good daughter or a good sister, but you must be the best lady in the world." And none of them have the right to question you, because they have done nothing for you. And other people, no matter who they are, are not in a position to question you, and I believe that no matter who encounters something like yours, it is impossible to do better. ”
"I know." Chu Lingfeng closed his eyes: "I'm sleepy again, I'll sleep for a while." If this Mo Han is capable, he will be able to make some big noise tomorrow, and tomorrow night, Liqiu should come to us. ”
"I estimate that we don't have to wait until tomorrow night, as long as Mo Han is fierce, Liqiu will naturally come to us." Rong Ruo said: "Li Xian is a very shrewd person, she must also know who Mo Han is, and know what to do to make him back down." Once Mo Han behaved more ruthlessly and resolutely than normal, then she would naturally guess that there was someone behind him. ”
"But so what?" Chu Lingfeng said coldly: "I have already told Liqiu that for her, her son is important. But to me, my brother is just a word. If she didn't believe then, she should believe now. What's more, I just saved the life of Wanli Changfeng, he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, at this time, even if Liqiu touches me, will he believe it, and say it. ”
Chu Lingfeng said that he was ruthless, and he was full of use of Wanli Changfeng, but Xue Mingyang knew the bitterness in her heart, and seeing that she was indeed a little tired, he lifted the quilt up and covered it: "Okay, don't say much, taking care of your body is the key." It's true that you saved the wind for thousands of miles, and we hurt him. Just acting, he'll understand. ”
However, Chu Lingfeng hadn't closed his eyes yet, and Li Qiu actually went to the door first.
"Calendar sacrifices." Xue Mingyang really couldn't have a little respect for this mother-in-law. Of course, the politeness on the face still needs to be asked: "It's so late, is there anything going on with the sacrifice?" ”
"Calendar sacrifices?" Li Qiu sneered: "I thought you would call me mother-in-law." ”
"The priest laughed." Xue Mingyang smiled and said, "Lingfeng hasn't called you a mother yet, where did I come from, mother-in-law." What's more, my house still has a spiritual seat with my mother-in-law. The Chu family treats her. The attitude is similar to that of the previous sacrifice, when she left the Chu family, she didn't ask for anything. He also paid a large sum of money just to take away his mother's spiritual position. ”
Xue Mingyang's words pierced Liqiu's heart like a needle, and she was silent for a while. Only then did he look back: "She's okay." I heard that she was injured yesterday trying to save Changfeng. ”
"I was stabbed in the back, and there was poison on the knife." Xue Mingyang said a little coldly: "Maybe the desert is too windy and sandy, and she is dizzy when it blows." It's just a pity that because the poison was detoxified in time, there was no danger to life. ”
"It's good if the poison is cured." Li Qiu first said a word, and then realized what Xue Mingyang was talking about, and said with a sinking face: "Even if I can't recognize her." Am I going to think about her death? In any case, she is also my daughter. ”
"Let's be honest. If you hadn't said this today, I wouldn't have seen that she was your daughter. Xue Mingyang thought about Chu Lingfeng's torment in the past few days, thinking about the grievances she had suffered in the Chu Mansion, even if she could restrain herself from maintaining peace on the surface, the anger in her heart could not be restrained.
Li Qiu had no intention of having a verbal dispute with Xue Mingyang, she originally wanted to go in and see Chu Lingfeng, even if she had no feelings for this daughter, she felt guilty, not to mention, she saved Wanli Changfeng, just for this, she couldn't help but be touched in her heart.
But during the time when the two were talking, Chu Lingfeng didn't make a sound, and when he looked in from the door, the bed curtain was lowered, and he could only see a figure lying faintly on the bed, which seemed to be lying on his stomach, asleep, and not moving.
"Lingfeng just slept, because she was afraid of the pain of the wound, so there were some sleeping ingredients in the medicine she was given, if you are worried, let's come to see her tomorrow." Xue Mingyang didn't want Liqiu to get close to Chu Lingfeng at this time, what good words could she have, that kind of hypocrisy, for the sake of the long wind, even if Chu Lingfeng heard it, it would only increase the sadness.
Seeing that Xue Mingyang had no intention of getting out of the way, Li Qiu didn't insist, and changed his deputy official appearance and said: "Since it's okay, I'm relieved, I know that her senior brother has good medical skills, and I think you will take care of her." ”
Xue Mingyang nodded: "That's nature, at this point, although you can rest assured, I will naturally take good care of Lingfeng." I heard that something happened to the long wind, and as long as the sacrifice takes care of him, he doesn't have to worry about it. ”
mentioned the long wind, Li Qiu's face was even heavier: "You don't have to worry about the long wind." But you'd better not go out these days, everyone knows that you are friends with Changfeng, and at this juncture, I don't want you to cause me trouble. ”
Xue Mingyang nodded in response, and said lightly: "We don't want to get involved in the matter of Wolf Castle, if it's just this matter, you can rest assured." ”
Li Qiu knocked Xue Mingyang, turned around and left, Xue Mingyang also went back to the room, sat down at the table, and looked at Chu Lingfeng through the bed curtain.
This night, except for Xue Mingyang and a few others, everyone was very busy.
The long wind did not return overnight, the sacrifice did not return overnight, and Mo Han did not return overnight.
But it's not so easy to find out one thing, at least, it's not something that can be done overnight. And it is much easier to pour dirty water on the head of a person who already carries a black pot.
Money can make ghosts grind, Mo Han is a veteran in this area, and the next morning, he found an eyewitness.
The eyewitness was the grandson of an elder in the clan, who was usually excellent in character and learning, and had a good reputation among the clan, so when Patriarch Mu and the others saw him appear to correct the long wind, they were all surprised.
Chu Lingfeng couldn't go out, Xue Mingyang and Rong Ruo had been told by Liqiu to stay in the room honestly for the past few days, so only one of Rong Ruo's subordinates stood far away to watch the excitement, and when they came back, they told them again.
"That man's name is Liang Guang, and he is the grandson of the eldest elder in Wolf Castle, and Elder Liang is very respected by the clan, and that Liang Guang. He is different from Mo Han, he is recognized as honest and courteous. Rong Ruo's subordinate said: "He said that he passed by yesterday and saw a long wind killing people. Then I was frightened at the time, and when I ran away, I accidentally hit my head and fainted. I didn't dare to say it last night, but when I went back and thought about it for half the night, I felt that this matter must be said, otherwise I would be sorry for the innocent dead clansmen. ”
"Let the elder's grandson come out and testify?" Rong Ruo smiled when he heard it: "This trick is not new, but people are looking for it well." This Liang Guang insisted that it was made by the long wind. Then his grandfather is naturally on the side of his grandson. As an elder, there are always supporters, this time. Even if it's a sacrifice, there are evenly matched opponents. ”
"Not really." Xue Mingyang said: "The same words, these different people say it, and the effect is very different. Ten people believed Mo Han's words. The words of the elders. There will be a hundred people who will believe. ”
Because Wanli Changfeng lived in the Wolf Castle, everyone still arrived in the Wolf Castle on this day, and they quarreled for a long time, and finally, Mo Han said cruelly: "Since Wanli Changfeng can't prove that he is innocent, then go to the desert to test, and let God tell everyone whether he is innocent or not." ”
Li Qiu's face changed at that time: "Mo Han." Do you know what you're talking about? ”
"Of course." Mo Han said proudly: "I know that everyone looks down on me, I haven't done anything for Wolf Castle in half my life. But this time, I hope to do something for the clan. You can't let someone like Wanli Changfeng stay in the wolf castle, in that way, the next victim doesn't know who it is. ”
"Desert trials are a custom in Wolf Castle." Rong Ruo explained: "The ignorance is very good, but it has continued. According to the rules of Wolf Castle, if someone is wronged and cannot be decided, they will tie a person to the sand, and after a sacrifice, cut the person's wrist to let the blood flow into the yellow sand, and awaken the desert god. If the man is innocent, the god of the desert will rain down nectar. And if that person is guilty, he will bleed and die. ”
Chu Lingfeng and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and said half-loudly: "There is also this kind of thing, isn't the reason why the desert is a desert is precisely because there is very little rain, what is the difference between this and directly killing?" ”
"Actually, there is not much difference, but there is still a difference, especially the area where Wolf Castle is located is an oasis, and the rain is quite abundant, if you are lucky, it will rain for a day or two. Although the wrist of the person who was tied up would have his wrist cut, the wound was small enough to last him for a day. Rong Ruo said: "Of course, in fact, even if there is no wound, if you bask in the sun and don't give water to drink, you can die of sunburn in two days." ”
"I really didn't expect Wolf Castle to have such customs." Xue Mingyang said: "It seems that Mo Han really wants to go out, this can be regarded as forcing the long wind to a dead end." ”
"No, he also paid for it." Rong Ruo said: "Because the desert trial is indeed a life of nine deaths, it is not that anyone who wants people to go there. Those who bring it up also have to pay the price. Whether it is a long wind and good luck, it is a nectar from the sky. Or he was unlucky, he died in the desert, and three days later, he had to sacrifice to the god of funding, it was not a kowtow, Mo Han was going to be rewarded with his life. ”
For a while, there was a silence, half a sound, and Chu Lingfeng said: "This thing is really easy to use." ”
Mo Han used his life to fight for the life of the long wind, this time, I am afraid that no one will have a way back.
"So what now?" Rong Ruo said: "Did you agree to the sacrifice?" ”
"Li Xian didn't want to agree, but she couldn't help it." The subordinate said: "Although the sacrifice has a noble status in the Wolf Castle, there is still the castle master and the eight elders, as long as the majority of people agree to pass, the sacrifice will not be possible." What's more, even anyone can say that they don't believe in the desert trial, and the priest can't help but believe it, she has proposed such a trial before, and she has removed the trouble of her own henchmen. ”
In the eyes of the first spirit wind, this is an extremely stupid thing, but in the eyes of the people of Wolf Castle, it is a guide given by the gods when mortals cannot judge.
In fact, not only Wolf Castle, there are many backward places with similar things, which seem unbelievable to outsiders, but they have been passed down from generation to generation, and no one can change them.
Chu Lingfeng turned his neck and said, "What kind of desert trial, is to find death, even if you are lucky, you have to go to half a life." So I think Liqiu will never let the wind go. She must let him run. ”
"But with my understanding of the long wind, he will never run, and he can not be killed, he is that kind of person." Xue Mingyang said: "What's more, even a person like Mo Han who he doesn't look down on is not afraid of death this time, will he still be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
"He's really not afraid of death, but Liqiu is afraid." Chu Lingfeng said: "Wait, Liqiu will definitely prepare everything for Wanli Changfeng to leave first, and after she can't persuade Wanli Changfeng to leave, she will think about the whole thing again, and then, maybe she will come to us." ”
It is said that knowing the mother Mo Ruozi, although Chu Lingfeng has not been in contact with Liqiu, he also knows a little about this person. The organs are exhausted, suspicious and suspicious, and they are indifferent and cold to everyone outside of the long wind.
Chu Lingfeng smiled faintly: "No matter how powerful Liqiu is, he is just a frog at the bottom of the well who stays in Wolf Castle all year round. Leaving aside the relationship between mother and son, I can't think of anything, I won't be able to fight her. ”
If you don't have scruples, you won't be soft-hearted. If you don't care, you don't mess up.
Saying smug words like this, but there was no feeling of smugness at all, Xue Mingyang and Rong Ruo listened, only feeling a little sour in their hearts, but they didn't know what to say to comfort.
And at this time, in the house of the long wind, Liqiu had already put a package on the bed and said, "I have already arranged it, you will leave tonight." Don't tell anyone, your mother and Xiaomei are there, I will tell her. ”
"Let's go?" Wan Li Changfeng really questioned with a face: "Why do you want to go, I won't go, if I go, won't I admit to murder." ”
"If you don't go, do you want to die in the desert?" Liqiu's voice was very cold: "Mo Han, that kid doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked, he would rather die than drag you into the water, the desert trial, it rains when you think you are innocent, don't be stupid." The people of Wolfsburg will not go out of the desert, you will go far away, you will never come back for the rest of your life, the world outside is vast, you are also a frequent runner, it is not difficult to survive. ”
Wanli Changfeng looked at Liqiu, as if he had never looked at her carefully, half a sound, and finally sighed: "Godmother, I know you can't bear me, but this time, I can't listen to you." I won't leave, let me carry this slander and steal my life, I can't do such a thing. ”
Li Qiu naturally knew how stubborn his son was, what he said was good and honest, and what he said was stupid, so he was angry at the moment, pointed at him for a while, and said in a tough tone: "Changfeng, whatever you said before, I left it to you." But this time, you have to listen to me...... If you don't go......"
Liqiu gritted his teeth: "I'll let your mother and sister bury you together." (To be continued......)
