The knife he swung was only halfway down and stopped, the thief's face became distorted, his hand that was covering the blood reached out and grabbed Wei Ran's upper arm, the eye socket with the broken arrow was shocked, and the pupil orbit of the black hole was still focused on Wei Ran's body, the thief fell to the ground, and his palm slowly slipped down, leaving a bloody stain on the woman's arm.

Being hugged in a trance, the frightened Wei Rongyan desperately refused to struggle, her eyes were still on those eyes, one was bloody and black, and the other was cursing, even if the owner stopped breathing, the pair of eyes did not give up and looked at Wei Rong.

"Rouge!" The person who came called in a deep voice, Wei Yuan turned his head in a daze, and met a pair of warm eyes, he opened all the blood in the basement, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.

"Mu..."Wei Mingyan fainted in an instant.

After being sent home, Wei Rongyan didn't dare to be alone on weekdays, not even going to a dark place, the Wei family was brightly lit every night, but even if Wei Junche and Wei Zhenting took turns to wait for Wei Rong, it was difficult to change her nightmares every day.

Finally fell asleep, Wei Rou fell into a deep nightmare again, there were several people around in the dream, she couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, Wei Rouge slapped one of them on the shoulder, the other party turned around, he had a dagger stuck in his neck, there were three blood marks on his face, looking at Wei Rouge in a daze, the man raised his bloody palm and stretched it out to Wei Rouge.

The frightened Wei Rouge hurriedly retreated, bumped into another person, that person also turned around, he was covered in blood, his hollow eye sockets rubbed a broken arrow, the only remaining eye looked straight at Wei Rouge, the blood of the two soaked the ground, in a sea of blood, many bright red human heads slowly surfaced, they were all people who died under Wei Rouge's arrows, countless pairs of bloody hands stretched out to the woman inch by inch, to drag her into this infernal hell.

"Don't! Let go! Wei Wei cried and struggled, desperately trying to get rid of the hand that was grasping on his body.

"Yan'er, it's me..."Guo Mushen called in a low voice.

Slowly opened his eyes, Guo Mushen's figure appeared in the dim world, Guo Mushen heard Wei Junche mention Wei Ming's situation, and he couldn't rest assured that he would come over to take a look.

"It's all over, you're home." Guo Mushen hugged Wei Rong'er and comforted her, "Uncle Wei and Brother Wei are here, I will also guard Yan'er and not leave, no one can hurt you anymore." ”

"It's not." Wei Rongyan cried and shook his head, "I killed people, killed many people, I have their blood on my hands, my sins can't be washed away, they want me to pay for my life, I can't escape..."

As long as she closed her eyes, Wei Wei could see those who were taken away from her life, and she couldn't get rid of it at all.

"Rou'er, they are all thieves who kill innocents indiscriminately, and many of them can be saved because of you." Guo Mushen said.

Wei Rongyan still shook his head, "But I still killed a lot of people, I remember every person, every face is imprinted in my brain, and those who turn into unjust souls will follow me for the rest of their lives." ”

"Rou'er, you misunderstood." Knowing what Wei Rong'er was really afraid of, Guo Mushen explained, "Their dream of entering Yan'er is to have something to say to Yan'er, not to hold a grudge against Yan'er. ”

The puzzled Wei Rongyan looked up at Guo Mushen, "What did they say?" ”

"Those bandits have done a lot of evil, they have borne too many lives in their lives, although they have been rescued by Rou'er to stop killing, but the sins of the past are too heavy, causing them to lose their way and wander the world after death, it is difficult to set off on the other side, they don't want to be ownerless and lonely souls to find Rou'er, I hope you can help them again."

"Really?" Wei Mingyan was suspicious, she had never heard what Guo Mushen said, "How am I going to save them?" ”

"It's not hard." Guo Mushen continued, "I once heard a monk say that as long as someone is willing to light a sky lantern for them to guide the way, and then play the Tibetan scriptures for them overnight, and wash away the sins of this life for them, they will be able to rest in peace. ”

Hearing the hope, Wei Yuanyan's expression was a little happy and quickly lowered, "But I can't play the piano, and I can't hide the scriptures..."

"Silly rouge, I will, no, you will."

At night, Guo Mushen removed all the candles in the courtyard, and the darkness that covered it made Wei Mingyan frightened, and she tightly grabbed Guo Mushen's clothes and shrank beside him.

"Don't be afraid, everyone will come, they need Rou'er's help." Guo Mu stroked Wei Yuan's hand.

Wei Mingyan nodded, lit the white sky lantern, the faint lonely lamp slowly rose, the faint candlelight swayed in the air, only a faint point, but in the exhaustion of the darkness, after the sky lantern, there was a graceful qin sound in the ink night, the gentle sound of the qin is like a trickle of spring water, light feathers falling, calm and sweep the dust.

"Rouge." Guo Mushen said while stroking the qin, "The extradited souls will turn into stars and hang high, illuminating the way forward for the world to atone for their sins, you now see if there are more stars." ”

The night sky is full of stars, Wei Xiangyan counted them carefully one by one, the Xuanyin was lingering, winding around the ears, Wei Mingyan's eyes twinkled with the stars, and he gradually fell asleep.

Wei Junche, who had been beside him, came over and put on a velvet blanket for Wei Rong, and said, "Since Yan'er is asleep, the second son doesn't need to play again." ”

"No problem." Guo Mushen didn't stop, smiled and replied softly, "If the sound of the piano can change the sound of the piano for a good night, it is worth it." ”

February is approaching, the Yue Jin court issued an official document to the whole country to collect taxes, to increase the number of taxes paid once a year, the amount is twice the original, the provinces and cities are miserable, but if the tax can not be paid, the court will send troops to take it, saying that it is to take, it is no different from robbing, the city guard has no other way, but to put the burden back on the people.

Xiazhou is relatively wealthy compared to other provincial capitals, Guo Tianqiong quickly gathered the tax and silver, arranged to send it to Wangcheng Yuedu, recently there were occasional bandits on the road to intercept the silver, Guo Tianqiong in order to be safe, let Guo Mushen and Wei Junche escort together, Yuedu is not too far from Xiazhou, and it is only ten days away.

Guo Mushen has only been gone for two days, Guo Tianqiong received a letter from the city guard of Yangping City, Lincheng, saying that they had found the den of the silver thieves, but Yang Pingcheng's troops were thin, and he heard that there was a guard army in Xiazhou, and wanted to ask Guo Tianqiong to help jointly suppress the bandits.

This matter is very important, if the bandits can succeed and recapture the tax silver that was robbed before, it can alleviate the urgent needs of the provincial capitals, Guo Tianqiong and Wei Zhenting discussed, and decided to personally bring the guards together with Guo Muyu to Yangping City to suppress the bandits.

The night they left, Wei Xiangyan slept until midnight and got up, and found that the light left for his father was out, just lit, he heard a sound in Wei Junche's house, Wen Manping and the child were still at his parents' house and had not returned, and there was no one else at home.

"What people!" Wei Mingyan shouted sharply, raising his bow and arrow to aim at the thief.

The man turned around, his face couldn't be seen clearly, the moonlight shone on his clothes, this outfit was a bandit! Wei Rongyan was frightened, the hand holding the bow trembled slightly, the arrow flew away, and the thief took the opportunity to take a cloth bag and escaped.

Wei Rouge, who blocked the door, intercepted with a horizontal bow, the other party took out a dagger and cut off the bowstring, and quickly used the dagger against the back of the bow, cutting along the bow arm to attack Wei Rouge, Wei Rouge raised his forearm to block his attack, the edge of the short knife swung head-on again, Wei Rouge hurriedly leaned back to dodge, and when he stood up again, the person had already run out of the room.

She quickly grabbed a sword in the room and chased after her, seeing that the thief was about to flee, Wei Rongrou threw out the scabbard to stumble the other party's footsteps, followed by the long sword pursuit, the thief retreated sharply, the tip of the sword crossed the chest, the clothes were cut, reflecting the dim candlelight, and vaguely saw that the clothes worn under the coat dressed by the thieves were somewhat familiar, the patterns and colors, like the official uniform that Wei Junche usually wears.

At this moment, the thief didn't want to run away again, and attacked with a dagger, as if his purpose had changed, and he wanted to kill Wei Xuan.
