225. The death of Xiao Ying

Of course, the red-headed rope was bought, but the penny that was bought for the red-headed rope was robbed.

Nangong Jin ran wildly on the road to Anyang. This head rope has never returned to him, or should it be said that Yingying has never asked him for help since returning home. This is the first time, 100,000 urgent!

By the time Nangong Jin arrived outside Anyang City, it was already the early morning of the third day. Before dawn and the gates of the city were not opened, the horses fell to the ground with a long neighing because of the galloping of the day and night.

Nangong Jin did not break into Anyang City, but first went to the outside of the city, the land temple of the year. Because he knew that if there was a message left for him, the warbler would definitely stay there.

Outside the city, the land temple has long been deserted, among the weeds, Nangong Jin lit the fire and searched carefully, and sure enough, there were three very small words written on the stone platform at the temple gate - Wind Valley.

The Wind Valley is in the mountains west of Anyang City, and it is inaccessible. From early morning to afternoon, Nangong Jin searched carefully in this narrow canyon. Gradually, traces of swords were found in the jungle that was trampled on, which made Nangong Jin even more nervous.

"Warbler!" The sound echoed through the canyon, and each cry seemed to startle the birds and beasts of the jungle. "Warbler!" Nangong Jin followed the traces of the increasingly fierce fight to find Xiao Ying's traces, and the ominous premonition lingered.

Blood marks and severed limbs slowly appeared all around, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, but Xiao Ying could never be found. When he saw the first corpse, Nangong Jin's heart tightened. So, in this ten zhang radius, the corpses were searched one after another. The corpses were all dressed in the costumes of the Jincheng Dart Bureau, and it was obvious that each corpse had been mended with knives. Leave no mouth alive!

"Warbler ......!" Nangong Jin shouted loudly over and over again, not knowing whether to be happy or anxious. Maybe she's not there, maybe, maybe she's hurt and hiding. "Warbler!" Nangong Jin continued to shout.

It was getting late, the wind was blowing, and the trees seemed to echo with a rustling of promises. "Warbler!" Nangong Jin never saw Xiao Ying, so she simply flew up the tree and looked at it from the tree.

In the distance, under the boulder, a lone figure lay on the ground.

"Warbler!" Nangong Jin rushed forward frantically, the closer the distance, the more familiar the lonely figure became, also wearing the clothes of the Jincheng Dart Bureau, the blood penetrated the soil around him, and it had turned brown. Nangong Jin trembled and called softly, "Yingying? "No response. Gently turning over the figure lying on the ground, Xiao Ying's face was covered with blood, and her eyes were closed and silent.

Nangong Jin picked her up and shouted anxiously: "Yingying, Yingying, wake up!" It's me, Wang Qin! Wake up, warbler! Thinking of something, I hurriedly checked her pulse, but there was no .......

Nangong Jin panicked, hurriedly flattened her, pressed her chest and patted her face like crazy, "Yingying, Yingying, don't sleep!" Wake up, wake up! Warbler! "It's a pity that all this was in vain, because her body was already cold.

Night finally came, the moonlight shone on Xiao Ying, and her face was even paler. For a whole hour, Nangong Jin was always doing futile things.

Xiao Ying is dead! The little girl who was struggling to survive with him in Yunmeng Mountain was so quietly gone. Nangong Jin hugged her tightly, with tears in her eyes, and whispered in her ear: "Yingying, Yingying, I'm here, I'm here......." ”

I said that I would protect her for the rest of my life, how could this be! Why is this happening?! The warbler was waiting, she was waiting, but she didn't come! Until the last moment, it didn't come! Didn't come!

"Yingying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......!" However, the three words sorry are so pale and useless, and guilt and remorse come like a tide in the face of these three words. "I'm sorry......." Nangong Jin hugged Xiao Ying, and there was only a cold ball in her arms. "I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry ......."

Nangong Jin always hugged her tightly, as if she was afraid that she would never see her again if she loosened up for half a minute, but she was no longer .......

The wind was blowing in the woods, and the moonlight lit up the canyon, which was unusually cold. After a while, Nangong Jin finally slowly stood up and walked out of the valley.

"Yingying, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry." Nangong Jin looked at Xiao Ying in her arms, feeling guilty and blaming herself, trying her best not to let tears flow, and muttered in her mouth, "Shall I send you home?" No, you don't want to go home. By the way, I can feed you. Then I'll take you away, where are you going? Where do you want to go? Why don't we go somewhere that no one has ever been? Yingying, you speak. ”

Nangong Jin's eyes became gentle, as if Xiao Ying in her arms was just asleep, and the moonlight was cold all the way.

The day was getting brighter, and the long-abandoned earth temple outside the city. Nangong Jin sat at the gate of the temple, holding Xiao Ying in her arms, and never let go. The small temple that allowed two people to squeeze to shelter from the rain back then has long been too small to accommodate the current two people.

"Yingying, I'm really useless, I can't walk." After walking all night, Nangong Jin's voice was full of weakness, "Do you remember?" It was here back then, you were hungry and dirty, ....... Suddenly laughed, "Look at you, you're dirty now, too." By the way, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go buy you clothes. What color do you like? Red? Is red good? ”

Nangong Jin took off his clothes and put them on the ground, put Xiao Ying on his clothes, and said happily: "At most, in a quarter of an hour, I move very quickly, ......." The smile on his face dissipated, and he looked at Xiao Ying and said guiltily, "I'm going to let you wait for me again......." ”

Fortunately, the city gate has been opened, and Nangong Jin's speed is indeed very fast, dressed in red inside and out, not only that, but even bought a set of head noodles, and the shopkeeper thought he was buying a wedding dress, and specially sent a hijab.

Nangong Jin took these and a water bladder of clear water, and returned to the Land Temple. Pretending to be relaxed, he said, "Yingying, I'm going to undress you." To say, you were naked when you were a child, I have seen it too. Oh, I couldn't tell it was a girl at the time. But now ......, why don't I marry you? Otherwise, I've seen it all, you won't be able to get married? ”

Nangong Jin wiped her face with water first, and carefully took off her clothes layer by layer, but she was stuck to her body by dried blood. The wounds on her body were shocking, Nangong Jin couldn't bear to look at it, she held back her tears, trembled her hands, carefully washed it with water, and put on the newly bought red clothes. Do all this, take the red head rope from her bosom and tie her hair.

"You really look good in red." Nangong Jin seemed to be tired, rubbed her chest and sat down close to her, and casually threw Xiao Ying's changed clothes aside. The sound of the clothes falling to the ground was strange, Nangong Jin was stunned, and reached out to take the clothes back.

There was a mezzanine, and in the mezzanine was something wrapped in a handkerchief, stained with blood. When I opened the handkerchief, there were a few letters inside, and the recipient was Wang Qin.

"For me?" Nangong Jin looked at Xiao Ying who was lying on the side and asked, "Then I saw it?" "Pick up a letter and look at it.

The letter was only a piece of paper, but the words were small and full. The letter, which was probably written at the end of last year, begins by saying, 'You must have forgotten.' Every time it's like this, I bet I won't get a present, but I'll go there anyway, maybe? ’

Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment. Forgot? Forgot, gifts! He said that no matter the birthday or the New Year, as long as it is a festival, he will give a gift to Yingying and put it under the brick under the feet of the land father-in-law in the land temple. Nangong Jin turned his head to look at the abandoned land temple, and after a while, he got up and walked to the statue of the land father, the brick under its feet was empty. Without much effort, the brick was removed, and under the brick was a wooden box covered with copper, which was not placed in it back then.

He lifted the red bricks around him and took out the box, opened it, and the box was full of letters!

The box contained every letter Xiao Ying had written to him for more than ten years, but it had never been sent. Nangong Jin suddenly burst into tears. Send? Where to send it? He never told her whereabouts. For several years, she was simply missing.

I finally understood why the letter in Yingying's package was only a piece of paper, full of writing. Because, this box is almost full. Here are more than ten years of Xiao Ying, hundreds of letters! But never again! There won't be any more!

Nangong Jin picked up the small box, sat back next to Xiao Ying, kept wiping the tears that couldn't be contained, looked at Xiao Ying and didn't know what to say, and after a long time, said softly: "I'm sorry......." ”

Remember, in the mine of Yunmeng Mountain, there is no day, there is no tomorrow, and only death is liberation. But you have to live! Because, if you give up yourself, the warbler will die! Once, Xiao Ying was the only reason for her to live.

Everything changed from the moment she was sent home. I seem to have forgotten her, no, I should say that I think she will always be in Anyang, in Jincheng Dart Game, as long as you turn around, you can see her. Yes, every time. As long as she looks for her, she will be there, and she will arrive as quickly as possible. With an indifferent expression, dusty. Never thought about what she did for the sake of the agreement? What did you give up? Warbler, ah.......

"I'm sorry." Nangong Jin let her tears flow, and she couldn't wipe them off anymore. Every 'sorry' was exchanged for deeper self-blame and guilt, but apart from these three words, I couldn't say anything anymore.

The letterhead from more than ten years ago has been yellowed, and Nangong Jin tried several times, but never had the courage to open those letters. Xiao Ying was beside her, silent.

A day later, Nangong Jin entered the city again and bought a full set of longevity materials. Rejected the merchant's offer to help, drove the car alone, and returned to the Land Temple. At the moment of closing the coffin, he cut off a bundle of Xiao Ying's hair and put it in his arms, and half a day later, a new tomb was erected next to the Land Temple.

Nangong Jin leaned on Xiao Ying's grave, and beside her was the box of letters. At this time, it seems that I realized that I had not finished reading the letter I had read last time. After a long hesitation, he picked up the letter again and looked.

The letter was written in a trivial way. In addition to writing about him, Xiao Ou was also mentioned.

Xiao Ou is Xiao Ying's half-sister, and the two are only one year old. Yingying said that their sect came from southern Xinjiang a hundred years ago, and the people in charge were all women. And her mother, Xiao Mingliang, is the head of the Jincheng Dart Bureau and the head of the family. Although they open a game of darts, they rarely play darts, because they are actually in the killer business.

Xiao Ying is the eldest daughter and should succeed the head of the family. However, the Xiao family does not stand up, but chooses a successor among all the clan girls. There are twenty-seven clan girls in the Xiao family, and the best qualifications among these clan girls are Xiao Ying and Xiao Ou, if Xiao Ying had not been abducted back then, maybe Xiao Ou would not have had a chance.

The letter said that Xiao Mingliang was seriously ill, and the affairs of the clan had been shared by the clan elders.

Nangong Jin was taken aback. Is it ......? However, there was no further information in the letter. He hurriedly opened the other letters in the package and looked at them in order.

Everything gradually became clear, but Nangong Jin's face became colder and colder. The last letter was not finished, and the last sentence was written in a hurry, with a completely different handwriting, ink, and even content from the previous one, and was obviously added laterβ€”'She actually agreed!' Gull for the head of the house......

It's simple. Xiao Mingliang has been dying for a short time, but the position of the head of the family has not been decided. Xiao Ying and Xiao Ou both have their own supporters, and Xiao Mingliang asked the two to use their own way and decide to stay. Obviously, Xiao Ou's method is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if you press this, the people who died in the Valley of the Wind may all be Xiao Ying's supporters.

Nangong Jin's heart suddenly felt cold, and he stared coldly at the three words 'Wind Valley' on the stone platform in front of the Land Temple. If Yingying had time to come here and write this message, why didn't she run away? If the warbler knew that there would be a big war in the Valley of the Wind, why did she take people to the Valley of the Wind? Why didn't the sender just tell him in Winddale? Because, that man doesn't know about Winddale! Because, the warbler doesn't know either!

Nangong Jin became more and more calm. More than ten years ago, Yingying was just a little girl, maybe at that time, Xiao Ou knew here. Xiao Ou knew Wang Qin, so many letters, maybe Xiao Ou had secretly read one of them, she might not know that all the letters were in this box, but she must know that there was a person named Wang Qin, who was Xiao Ying's backhand. In the Valley of the Wind, only Xiao Ou knew that she was going to kill Xiao Ying there, and she left the word because she wanted to catch it all and leave no trouble!

It's Xiao Ou, and these three words were left by Xiao Ou. She didn't know that Wang Qin was Nangong Jin, otherwise it would be wisest to rush to the reputation of the Nangong clan and not leave a word to make herself nowhere to be found.

April 20? Why April 20? This day must be unusual for the Xiao family, and it is known to both Ying Ying and Xiao Ou. Now that the warbler is ......, Xiao Ou must get what she wants. For her, maybe Wang Qin is just an imaginary enemy, if there is, she will be removed, and if she doesn't, forget it; And most importantly - the position of the head of the house! The Xiao family is doing big things! That's why I haven't seen anyone else here for so many days!
