Chapter 840: The Sustenance of the Heart
When Nangong Songchen died, the entire Lankui City was also under martial law, the purpose was to prevent the killing from happening again, and Lin Tian was forced to suspend this plan, and quietly returned to the small nest to which the Wang family belonged.
And Wang Zutian, who separated a wisp of spiritual sense to track Lin Tian, completely lost Lin Tian's information after he killed the five spies of the Divine Machine Gate, although his strength was above it, but if it was replaced by tracking and anti-tracking, which was quite skillful, it would still be trivial, after all, what the Divine Machine Gate is best at, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, this is a good dish.
Although it was the middle of the night and many of them were asleep, the tight time still made them give an order, and the armed forces of their respective families were quickly assembled in a short period of time.
Then each family separated a small group of people to cooperate with the city guards to defend the city, and a large number of people were on standby, and when the sky was slightly bright, the armed forces of the four major families began to investigate the whole city, and all suspicious people were imprisoned and waiting for unified interrogation.
Especially the small courtyard near the Wang family, because the news came from the City Lord's Mansion that the identity of the owner of this courtyard was unknown, and his strength was profound, and it was suspected that it was the highest-level spy of the Shenji Gate in this place, so the three families who heard the news all looked sad.
As long as anyone with a little brain can see that the order issued by the Zhou family now is not so much to capture the only remaining spies of the Divine Machine Gate, but to use this opportunity to weaken the armed power in their family.
Away from the small courtyard near the Wang family, although the master is a new face, but several strong people with strength in the Taixu Realm have a relationship with this person, and when he entered Lankui City, he was already noticed, and now he didn't expect the Zhou family to use this order to let them send high-end force to eliminate this person.
Although there is all reluctance, but if you still want to live in this city, then no one dares to disobey the orders of the Zhou family, this operation, the first of the four major families to control the armed forces are all unified to the scene, and the four powerhouses of the Taixu Realm led the children of the family to quickly surround this place.
But when they broke down the door, the courtyard was empty, and all the furniture in it was present, but there was no one to see in the huge courtyard, and in fact, everyone present did not know that before the matter leaked, the owner of this place had already taken advantage of the night to go out of the city.
Because his mission here had been completed, a big news needed to be sent back immediately, so when Lin Tian broke the roof and rushed out, he had already escaped from the city.
The entire Lankui City was instantly chaotic because of this incident, the usual harmonious scene was gone, a large number of warriors and monks without background were all gathered together in this catastrophe, nearly 100 people were sent to the City Lord's Mansion for trial, and on the same day, there were about twenty bloody heads hanging in front of the city gate, and the official notice stated that these people were secret agents sent here by the Shenji Gate.
As for the remaining sixty or seventy people, they never came out again, and after the three families of Zhang Zhao and Wang saw this, instead of taking a breath, the expression of the master of the family became more and more intense.
Are the more than 20 people who died really the spies of the Divine Machine Gate? No, some people and even the people of the three major families have secretly investigated their identities, after all, they also sent out olive branches at that time, but they were rejected by others, and now they are dead here, and a discerning person can guess what is going on at a glance.
As for the remaining sixty or seventy people, if they are expected to be good, they must all be hidden by Zhou Jiaxue now and become their own secret force, so as to better control Lankui City.
For three whole days, the people of the peaceful Lankui town were panicked, and the city gate was closed, and no warriors and monks could leave, and they were only forced to participate in the investigation and interrogation, and in the past three days, Lin Tian, who was the leader of this matter, had nothing to do in the night woods every day, studying and studying this snoring orangutan who slept today, and sat in the small cabin on the edge tomorrow to discuss martial arts with Wang Zutian.
When I was not in a panic, I sat in the center of the wild woods, closing my eyes and recuperating just to listen to this natural sound.
As early as two days ago, Lin Tian discovered a very interesting phenomenon, in the past, when the sun set on the West Mountain, Wang Yiran should have been outside the city to enjoy the red maple forest full of mountains, but after this assassination, the family specially stipulated that he was not allowed to go out, and now he only hid here and played music silently, and of course Lin Tian became her frequent visitor.
If it were according to the past, this Miss Wang would never calm down and play here, even if the music played was a little sad, but since Lin Tian became her listener, this little girl's music seemed much more cheerful, and the time of meditation every day was getting longer and longer, and naturally the relationship with Lin Tian was also higher.
Today, as usual, the two of them played and listened to each other, such a scene has lasted for several hours, the slanting sunset is about to fall, and the maple leaves in the wild woods are desolate under the illumination of this residual sun, and there is also some strange atmosphere in this charm.
After a long time, Lin Tian, who slowly opened his eyes after a long time, looked at the face that was slightly sad in the face of the country, but his heart was throbbing uncontrollably at this time, and an unspeakable factor slowly rose from his mind, brewing in his heart.
"Brother Wu, do you know what I like for Maple Leaf?"
Wang Yiran, who had been silent for a long time and was secretly sad, slowly raised his stunning pigment head at this time, looked at Lin Tian with relieved eyes and whispered.
"I don't know why, but I think she must have a different meaning to you."
After hearing this sentence, Lin Tian, who had only pondered for a few breaths, said this sentence, and Wang Yiran, who also listened to this sentence, had a rare smile on his slightly sad face, but this smile was so bleak and sad in Lin Tian's eyes.
"I'll tell you a story."
"There was once a beautiful woman, because her family was poor, so her beauty brought her only disasters and nightmares, but not a trace of happiness."
"In the village, she was bullied by everyone, if it weren't for her father being a martial artist, I'm afraid this woman would have become someone else's side house, once a son of a family who passed by here, because he was thirsty and came to the door to ask for water, the two who came to open the door were thrilled because of that encounter."
"The son of the family is not like others, he likes to take advantage of the tricks, the two slowly met because of the meeting, and then it was a natural thing, and when the son of the family returned to the family, he overcame the public opinion, and finally took the hard-working woman home one day with a rich dowry."
After saying this, Yiran's face seemed to have a look of memory and longing, paused slightly, and then sorted out her thoughts and continued: "After returning home, the days passed, and the woman was also pregnant, and one day, because of changes in the family, the woman had to return home, because her mother was seriously ill in bed and could not get up."
"It just so happened that her father-in-law was busy with family affairs in the past few days and couldn't accompany her, and this understanding woman didn't complain at all, just looked at her with a smile."
"After the last day, her father-in-law asked the strongest second brother among his brothers to escort her home, and everything was so peaceful when she left, and it was even full of warm smells."
When Yiran said this, the expression on his face suddenly paused, and then he was filled with a sadness again, and even a faint mist could be seen in those big smart eyes, and then he said again in that slightly choked tone: "But who knows that the parting here actually represents the most sorrowful separation between heaven and man, and when they returned to the family, they were attacked in a forest full of maple trees, and her second uncle desperately rescued her, but the strength of the enemy is so profound, at this most critical juncture, Sitting in the carriage, she suddenly gave birth to a healthy baby girl."
"The safety of the child took her life, at that time, because the site was relatively simple, she encountered the dystocia that women were most afraid of encountering, the child was born, and the second uncle, who had almost lost his vitality, was still there to protect his sister-in-law, and finally family reinforcements came."
"But apart from the baby girl, there was no living person in the room who could stand up."
At this time, after speaking of this, Wang Yiran's whole person seemed to be like the body of someone who had been extracted of his essence in an instant, and the whole person seemed extremely powerless and weak, and Lin Tian, who had listened to this story quietly, also fell into a long silence.
He understood that this was Wang Yiran thinking that he was pouring out his life experience, that hard-working woman must be her mother, and the second uncle who guarded until the last moment of the year should be the righteous father, because when he was born, he didn't even see his father.
The maple forest she goes to every time should be the place where she was born, because it is only there that she can feel her mother's unique breath.
Although Yiran's father is a very qualified father, and he is also a head of the family who understands righteousness and has a strong sense of justice and bearing, Yiran, who has lost her mother since she was a child, has never experienced even a day of maternal love, but because of her heartache, her father has always been hidden in her heart and only exposed.
Today, because of some past events, she finally couldn't help but tell the man in front of her who was very conflicted to say this sentence hidden in her heart.
Lin Tian can understand this feeling very well, and even in empathy, he can deeply understand the grief that a person who has lost his mother faces every day.
At this time, a thousand kinds of pity rose in his heart, so he got up quietly, and then sat beside him and slowly hugged the delicate body that hid his face and cried in his arms, as if this was the only way to give her endless courage to face all this.
The scene was so beautiful for a while, Lin Tian and Yiran, who were intoxicated with all their hearts, didn't notice that a face full of sneers in the distance looked at them with extreme malice, and then turned around and disappeared into the dense woods.
