Chapter 18: Getting Out of Trouble
The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold, the old man's eyes wandered, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the past: "Seven years ago, I was quick to talk and caused a big disaster, and when I woke up, I had regrets for life. For the rest of my life, I can only achieve peace if I avenge the blood hatred of the Lin family and keep the last bit of blood. ”
"You were the party to the theft of the tribute?" Shui Qingxiang reacted immediately.
"Hehe, you can find out about the theft of the tribute back then, and it seems that you know a lot. Yes, I was one of the guards who escorted the tribute back then, but I didn't expect that I was just drunk and lost my words, but I became the handle of a gang of gangsters, who used this to blackmail me, forced me to steal the tribute, and destroyed the Lin family. The old man's tone was filled with deep chagrin.
"But I don't understand, aren't all the guards who escorted the tribute dead? The dossier reads, 'The tribute was stolen, and none of the people who escorted it survived.' Shui Qingxiang couldn't believe the words of the old man in front of her.
The man showed a look of disdain: "Hmph, is it difficult to die without proof?" They only need to see as many corpses as the escorts, hand them over to burnt corpses, and no one will doubt them. ”
Shui Qingxiang suddenly realized, "Then you guys aren't dead." Butcher Zhang, Master Qian, the old bustard of Yichun Courtyard, Yundao people, and others, were all guards who escorted the tribute back then? ”
No wonder they haven't been able to find any clues for so many years, these people have long expected that they can't find clues in the official mansion, so they have been incognito for so many years. Everyone thought that there was no proof of death, who would have thought that they would play a game of self-theft.
Thinking of this, Shui Qingxiang laughed: "You said it so well, what is it to avenge the blood feud of the Lin family and uphold justice, in fact, the real purpose is nothing more than to make a glass lock for Qianmo." If you are really as clean as you say, why did you collude with your colleagues to do these things back then? If my guess is correct, Qiu Hu's mother and son should be the only bloodline of the Lin family. ”
Shui Qingxiang's words were really powerful, and the old man who had just returned a picture of victory suddenly turned white, his face twitched, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes: "You don't have to provoke me, and you don't have to provoke the relationship between me and their mother and son." I saved the lives of their mother and son at the beginning, and now I am also helping them avenge them, I want the Qianmo glass lock, but it is also their Lin family's thing, and it is only right for me to get it back for them. ”
"Uncle Yan, don't tell her so much, let's bury her." Qiu Hu's mother stood beside Shui Qingxiang with a tool, obviously a little impatient.
"Haha, that's right. We buried her first, and left here at night with the Qianmo glass lock. ”
Shui Qingxiang's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and her heart said, why is she so unlucky, not long after she crossed over, she was going to die again, is this the shortest-lived traverser in history?
Shui Qingxiang was pushed out of the door by two people, and was about to be taken out of the courtyard, Shui Qingxiang said to Qiu Hu's mother: "Anyway, I'm going to die, I still have a money bag on me, and there are some silver taels in it, you can take it." Also, there was a small toy in the money bag, which was given as a gift to Huzi to thank him for the glass of water he gave me to drink. ”
Qiu Hu's mother didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she saw Qiu Hu's eyes looking at Shui Qingxiang, she searched for a money bag from her body. Sure enough, in addition to some scattered silver taels, there was also a strangely shaped gadget inside, which looked like a toy.
Shui Qingxiang saw that Qiu Hu accepted the toy, and her heart suddenly relaxed.
Then Shui Qingxiang was taken to a vacant lot in the suburbs, but she didn't expect that watching the thin old man Yan dig a pit is indeed a good hand, and it didn't take long to dig a big pit that was enough to lie down in a person.
Look here, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are shady, and the environment is not bad.
Shui Qingxiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This place is not bad, it can be regarded as a feng shui treasure, I don't know if I will travel to another world when I lie in it.
It's not that she didn't think of resisting, it's just that her hands and feet are tightly tied by ropes, and she can't free her hands at all, and looking at Old Man Yan like that, he is obviously a practitioner, and his force value is not weak.
Besides, there is also Qiu Hu's mother as a helper, even if Shui Qingxiang has confidence in herself, she can only wait and see what happens in this situation.
"Actually, I still don't understand a little, your Lin family obviously has a blood feud with them, how can they unite to take revenge? Also, if you really want to get revenge, why wait seven years? Shui Qingxiang tried her best to delay the time, hoping that the plan in her heart could succeed.
However, Old Man Yan didn't seem to be planning to explain anything to Shui Qingxiang anymore.
"Do it, bury her!"
"Please wait......"
"Tong-", the middle-aged woman didn't seem to want to listen to Shui Qingxiang anymore, and kicked Shui Qingxiang into the freshly dug soil pit.
His grandmother dropped, Shui Qingxiang scolded in her heart, she was probably the most unlucky and saddest traverser in the world.
At that moment, a low whistle was heard, and it was very peculiar, like the cry of a deer or a fox, and it was not like any sound that the world had ever heard.
Shui Qingxiang was overjoyed in her heart, and finally came.
The whistle was a gift from Mizuharuka to Torako, and she made a toy by herself because she had nothing to do and nothing interesting to pass the time.
I thought that I could use my own inventions and creations to earn the first pot of gold in this world like other time-travelers, but I didn't expect that after the whistle she designed came out, no one bought it.
They said that the whistle was too loud and too high-pitched, and that it could make the neighborhood uneasy when it was blown, so it has been unsold until now.
Fortunately, he is about to be a fast catcher, and Shui Qingxiang plans to recommend this whistle to the county magistrate, maybe it can become a well-known good commodity in the future, but unfortunately it didn't work out, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time.
As soon as this whistle sounds, the people around him must be able to hear it, he came from the scene of Yun Daochang's death before, if others hear this whistle, maybe they will be saved.
Even if you don't have someone coming right away, you can at least divert their attention.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiu Hu's mother heard the whistle and knew that it was coming from home, her face immediately became nervous, she threw away the tools in her hand, and said to herself: "Huzi." ”
He turned around and ran home.
Seeing this, Shui Qingxiang immediately kicked with her foot, and then a swallow turned over and jumped out of the pit.
In fact, from the beginning, she has been trying to break free from the rope on her feet, and she dragged it all the way for so long that she didn't break free until the moment she entered the pothole.
Lao Yantou accidentally fell to the ground, but quickly stood up again and fought with Shui Qingxiang.
Shui Qingxiang originally wanted to break free of the rope in her hand, but unfortunately before she could break free, Lao Yan's hands like iron tongs pinched Shui Qingxiang's neck.
Shui Qingxiang instinctively resisted, but she couldn't break free from the control of his hands, and it could be seen that this old man was a ruthless guy.
Shui Qingxiang felt that it was difficult to breathe, so she could only hear a muffled sound behind her, and Old Man Yan fell to the ground.
Shui Qingxiang looked up, and a person who surprised her appeared in front of her.
