Nightfall.

In a wasteland north of the Zhangshui River, a bonfire was lit.

The night in mid-spring is charming. Last night's spring rain made the night sky exceptionally beautiful. I saw a Milky Way across the sky, full of stars.

The soft wind, with the scent of the earth, is intoxicating.

Yang Shouwen finally fell asleep to the distressed January, and lay down on the wolfskin mattress a little tired, closing his eyes.

Because of the baby girl's incident, Yang Shouwen and the two did not travel much today.

When night fell, they arrived at the banks of the Zhangshui River. However, it was already late and the Zhangshui ferry port was closed.

There were no villages around, and the wasteland was silent, except for the sound of the river flowing.

Here, it still belongs to Zhao Zhou.

After passing the Zhangshui, and then going to Xiangcheng, it can be regarded as entering the boundary of Xingzhou.

Gilda was already asleep on his side on his mattress, while Jade rested on a nearby tree. Yang Shouwen lay on the wolfskin mattress and soon fell asleep. However, he did not sleep soundly, and in the middle of his dream, he suddenly felt something approaching him. In his ears, the terrible sound of Dayu's eagle suddenly sounded, and he fluttered from the tree.

A cold light flashed in the corner of Yang Shouwen's eyes.

He stirred up a chilling cicada, reached out and picked up the baby girl, and rolled on the spot.

By the time he stood up, he was fully conscious.

A squeaky cry sounded in his ears, and he followed the sound to see a monkey under the paws of Dayu, and Abu Sijida stood by with a gun, looking at the monkey. There was a look of doubt in his eyes.

The monkey looked dirty. Under the coercion of Jeddah. Lying on the ground, he was pressed by Da Yu, and he didn't dare to move.

On the ground not far from the monkey, a two-foot short knife was thrown.

"Squeak!"

When the monkey saw Yang Shouwen, he immediately screamed.

Who knows what it's talking about? Yang Shouwen looked left and right, and the wasteland was empty, and there was no one in sight......

Jeddah gestured: Don't worry, no one.

Only then did Yang Shouwen relax his vigilance. Loosen the handle.

"Dayu, come here."

He stretched out his hand, and the big jade flew up and landed on his arm.

At this time, Jeddah walked over, picked up the knife from the ground, walked to Yang Shouwen's side, and handed the knife to Yang Shouwen.

Hey?

Yang Shouwen recognized at a glance that this was Ji Laoshi's Uzi steel knife, also known as Uzi sword.

The blade of the sword is thin and narrow, and the blade body presents a pattern vein like a silk weave. It also shows that the origin of this knife is extraordinary.

And on the tip of the knife, there are still blood stains.

This dirty monkey. Could it be......

Yang Shouwen squatted down and looked at the little monkey who was squatting on the ground, trembling and not daring to move.

"Yours?"

He placed the Uzi sword in front of the monkey, and immediately the monkey squeaked and cried out with his hands. It pointed to January in Yang Shouwen's arms, looking very excited. Yang Shouwen realized that January, who was crying because he was woken up just now, stopped crying at this time, and was looking at the monkey, showing a very cute smile.

What a monkey!

Zhao Yinian's golden snub-nosed monkey.

Yang Shouwen was already able to determine that this monkey was Zhao Yinian's monkey, and it was also the monkey that might have killed Peach Blossom.

How did it end up here?

Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen looked up at Jeddah.

Jeddah was also looking at him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Then you know, Zhao Yinian...... Where is your master? ”

The monkey stopped calling, his eyes questioning.

"Yinian, your master, short man, with a scar on his face, Zhao Yinian."

Yang Shouwen actually knew very well that he might not be useful when he said these words. Do you expect a monkey to answer your question? Can you understand what you're saying? Anyway, Yang Shouwen didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but look at the monkey and asked softly.

The monkey's reaction surprised Yang Shouwen.

It grabbed its neck with its little claws, and then fell to the ground with a poof.

"You mean, Zhao Yinian was strangled to death?"

"Squeak!"

The monkey was anxious, and pointed to the Uzi sword in Yang Shouwen's hand, as if he was begging.

Yang Shouwen pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Jida and said, "Big brother, do you have any melons and fruits there?" ”

Gilda nodded, turned and walked over to the Turkma, and pulled out two fruits from the package. That fruit should belong to something like a berry, anyway, Yang Shouwen can't be famous. Jeddah loves berries and sometimes picks unknown berries in the wilderness and takes them with him as a snack. This is also another preference of Jeddah.

Yang Shouwen handed the berry to the monkey, and he took it and put it in his mouth to chew.

January fell asleep again while lying next to Yang Shouwen, and the monkey slipped to January and squatted down after eating the berries.

It was like a kind father, gently patting the swaddling clothes on January's body, and then curled up beside January.

Yang Shouwen looked at the monkey's movements as if he was familiar with the road, and suddenly seemed to understand something, turned his head to Jida and said, "Ji is honest, not January's father!" ”

Zhao Yinian is January's father!

Almost as Yang Shouwen spoke, Jeddah also made a gesture quickly.

That's right, only such an answer can explain this series of actions of the monkey.

The monkey had been with him for a month before, otherwise he would not have done such a thing. This seems to have become a habit for monkeys. Yang Shouwen looked down at the short knife in his hand, and then at the monkey curled up at January's feet.

If January is not Zhao Yinian's child, how can Zhao Yinian let the monkey who is inseparable from him accompany January?

For a long time, Yang Shouwen thought that Ji Laoshi was the husband of Peach Blossom.

But now it seems......

Slowly, if Zhao Yinian is Peach Blossom's husband, why kill Peach Blossom? Also, the monkey said that Zhao Yinian was strangled to death, who was strangled to death, and when was he strangled to death? Also, why do monkeys haunt this wasteland?

A series of questions came and went in Yang Shouwen's mind.

"If Zhao Yinian and Peach Blossom are husband and wife, it is impossible for Zhao Yinian to kill Peach Blossom, unless Peach Blossom cheats.

But if Zhao Yinian killed Peach Blossom, what about Zhao Yinian? Why would he leave the monkey alone in the wasteland? If Zhao Yinian was strangled to death, who strangled him? When did you strangle him?

Also, if Zhao Yinian didn't kill Peach Blossom, who killed Peach Blossom? ”

The monkey was holding an Uzi sword, and the edge of this Uzi sword was very similar to the wound on Peach Blossom's chest.

In other words, Peach Blossom died at the hands of the monkey...... And among those tricksters, only Zhao Yinian can manipulate monkeys? (To be continued......)
