Chapter 81: Searching for Someone

"She ......" Xiao Yunyin showed hesitation, he was obviously reluctant to mention that sad past, but after hesitating again and again, he still sighed and said, "As you know, she used to be one of the Seven Swords of Mount Tai like me, and she was the pillar of the Mount Tai faction. Seven years ago, the Three Swords Sect suspected that the head of Jintai had killed their head Zhuo Ming, and led the crowd to the Taishan faction to retaliate. In order to protect the Taishan faction, our Taishan Seven Swords fought to the death with the people of the Three Swords Sect. The battle was devastated in the dark, and many people died. Afterwards, I survived by luck and began to look everywhere for Qingshu's trace, but I couldn't find it anywhere, no one alive, no corpse dead. At first I thought she was wounded and hiding, or that she had pursued the enemy to a distant land, but after I waited for a long time, she still did not return. The more I waited, the more disheartened I became, and finally I had to accept the fact that she had died. After saying that, he sighed again.

"Did you find her body later?" Zhao Zheng asked intentionally.

"No, although this is the cemetery I built for her, it is actually empty, just a few pieces of her clothes are buried as a substitute." Xiao Yunyin shook his head and said.

"Since her body has not been found, it cannot be proved that she is dead, maybe she is still alive in this world, and it is better for the seniors not to give up completely."

"If it had been a few years ago, I would have thought so, but after all these years, I don't have that kind of dreaming anymore. If Qingshu is still alive, she will definitely return to the Taishan faction, how can there be no news for so many years. Even if she was captured by the Three Swords Sect, the Three Swords Sect would definitely use her to blackmail the Taishan Sect, and it would not be so peaceful. ”

"People are not as good as heaven, maybe Senior Xie didn't come back because he encountered some special things. There are many things in the world that we often can't guess. Maybe one day, she'll suddenly appear in front of you. ”

For this kind of whimsical words, Xiao Yunyin just smiled bitterly and didn't take it seriously.

"It's a pity that I came a few years late, and I didn't have the opportunity to meet my predecessor Xie, and I couldn't see her women's demeanor, which is really a pity in my life." Zhao Zheng changed his words and sighed at the cemetery.

"If you want to see her, I have a scroll here, and I've been carrying it with me all these years to see things and think about people." Xiao Yunyin said as he reached out to his waist, untied a bundled painting scroll from it, and spread it out to show Zhao Zheng.

As the scroll rolls down, the image of a woman in the painting is revealed in front of Zhao Zheng's eyes, the construction method of this painting is very detailed, the painting is vivid, the woman in the painting itself is also extremely beautiful, the jade hand is holding a sword, and there is a certain sword style of the starting style, which is very feminine and does not let the taste of the eyebrows.

Zhao Zheng looked at the face of the woman in the painting, looked at it blankly for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "I seem to have seen the person in the painting!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was Xiao Yunyin's turn to be surprised.

……

Three days later, at the boundary of Jumu County, Nangan Province, a ray of light broke through the sky, and the speed was extremely fast, and it flew out of the distance in the blink of an eye.

There were two people who broke through the sky, and one of them was gone. Xiao Yunyin, while the other person is Zhao Zheng. With Zhao Zheng's ability, he naturally does not have such skills to fly in the sky, and Xiao Yunyin is actually the only one who is really responsible for the volley.

Xiao Yunyin stepped in front of the sword body, using his feet to continuously pour strong and deep internal force into the sword body, and at the same time reached out to grab Zhao Zheng behind him, so as to prevent the latter from falling from the sword body.

The reason why the two of them left in such a hurry had only one purpose, that is, to find the missing Xie Qingshu!

Three days ago, Zhao Zheng claimed to have seen the person in the painting, Xiao Yun was thinking about his deceased wife, so he naturally couldn't let go of this clue, so he ruthlessly digged into the bottom of it. Zhao Zhengzhi replied to everything, claiming that he had seen the person in the painting in this place two years ago, Xiao Yunyin was quite excited when he learned about it, as if the person who fell into the water had grabbed a life-saving straw, and immediately stepped on the sword and ran with him to find someone, all the way here.

Zhao Zheng appeared in front of the cliff when Xiao Yunyin was mourning his deceased wife, and he had seen the missing Xie Qingshu. All this seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, Zhao Zheng did it on purpose. He did know where Xie Qingshu was, and taking Xiao Yunyin to find Xie Qingshu was an important task, and after it was completed, it would allow him to gain a lot of benefits.

"Whoosh! Touch! ”

The fast-flying sword rubbed a circle of air waves in mid-air, and these air waves exploded in mid-air, the sound was like thunder, and the birds perched on the trees in the distance were startled.

As he flew, Zhao Zheng kept his eyes on the forest below, which was part of Jumu County and was surrounded by many trees called Jumu, which were large and multi-purpose, and many people in the area made a living from cutting down them.

Flying and flying, he suddenly found that the terrain below matched a terrain and landform in his memory, and he immediately cheered up, and his heart also hung up. After flying for a while, he caught a glimpse of a wooden house in the forest, and without hesitation, he hurriedly said: "Senior, stop, that's where I met Xie Qingshu's senior." ”

If what he expected was right, Xie Qingshu, who had been missing for many years, should have lived in this wooden house and changed to another identity.

Xiao Yunyin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the foot in front of him suddenly increased his strength, causing the sword under his feet to tilt downward, and he plunged headlong. Falling in mid-air, he moved again, skillfully adjusting the direction of the tip of the sword, and led the two of them all the way to the vicinity of the wooden house.

When they got closer, the two of them fell to the ground together with their swords. Xiao Yunyin raised his finger and pulled it casually, and the sword immediately flew back into the scabbard on its own, returning to silence. He walked in front, turned his head to Zhao Zheng and asked, "Do you recognize it clearly, is this here?" ”

"It's not bad for the younger generation to remember the surname, so I shouldn't be mistaken." Zhao Zheng said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll ask the family first to see if I can get any clues, if there are no clues, then ask around." Xiao Yunyin said hurriedly.

The two discussed the countermeasures, walked to the door of the wooden house together, Xiao Yunyin came forward and knocked on the door a few times, at first a few times did not get a response from the people in the house, he knocked a few more times, and then a timid voice came from the house: "Who are you, why are you knocking on my door?" ”

Listening to this voice, it turned out to be a female streamer, who seemed to be the housewife of the family.

"I'm sorry to take the liberty of visiting. The two of us are from the Taishan faction, and we have come here to inquire about some things, and I hope you can open the door and see you. Xiao Yunyin said politely.

"I'm just a village girl, I don't know anything, what's the matter, you better ask someone else to inquire." The woman in the room said vigilantly.

"Only your family knows about this matter, so we came here specially to make it convenient and don't shirk it. If you can do me a favor, I will be rewarded. If you're worried that we're bad guys, you can dispel that concern, and I'm sure you've seen what we did when Edgeworth was in the air just now, and if we were going to do you any good, we wouldn't be polite here. Xiao Yunyin said sincerely.

This is also true, if Xiao Yunyin wants to break into the house, he can do it by hooking his fingers.

The woman in the house was not a stupid village girl, and after hearing this, she hesitated for a moment and opened the door.

Hearing the sound of the door, Zhao Zheng fascinated his eyes and stared at the crack in the door, witnessing this important moment.

The crack in the door grew wider, revealing the inside of the house in the bright sunlight outside. The woman who opened the door stood behind the door, looking at Zhao Zheng and the two vigilantly.

Seeing this woman's appearance, the faces of the two people outside the door all changed to varying degrees, especially Xiao Yunyin, whose changes were even more drastic, and his body trembled a little.

"Qingshu!" Xiao Yun screamed silently, looking at the woman in front of him blankly, he never expected that he could really find the long-lost lady here.

The woman in the room, although she is wearing very ordinary clothes, her eyebrows and face are exactly the same as the woman in the painting. Xiao Yunyin and Xie Qingshu have been together for so many years, and the two are husband and wife, so it is naturally impossible to admit their mistakes.

The woman was really taken aback when she heard Xiao Yunyin call herself like this, and took a step back, her face showing a panicked expression.

"Qing Shu, Qing Shu, after so many years, why don't you go back to the Taishan faction to find me?" Xiao Yun faintly said in a lost voice.

"Who is Qingshu, I haven't heard of this name, you seem to have recognized the wrong person." The woman panicked.

"Qingshu, don't you recognize me? I'm your father-in-law! ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, my father-in-law is called Chen Niu, but it's not you."

"Who is Chen Niu?"

"Chen Niu is Chen Niu, he is my father-in-law."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun stood on the spot, his face changed sharply, and he re-examined the woman in front of him with another look, judging from the appearance, this woman is indeed Xie Qingshu, but her temperament and eyes are completely different, as if she is another person. This made him muttered in his heart, like falling into a fog.

"Are you Xie Qingshu or not?" Xiao Yunyin muttered.

"I'm not." The woman said categorically.

"And who are you?"

"My name is Chen Hua."

"Chen Hua?"

"Yes, I'm Chen Hua, so please don't call me anything Xie Qingshu. I don't know you, and I don't want to deal with you, so let's go. The woman who called herself Chen Hua said boldly, put her hand on the door, and made a gesture to close the door.

Xiao Yunyin suffered from lovesickness for seven years, how could she be willing to part with her mother again, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to block the door, refusing to let Chen Hua close the door. He talked about what had happened in the past, trying to evoke the memories of the lady, but the old flowers and rice didn't enter, and he couldn't listen to a word at all.

One of the two wanted to close the door, and the other stopped it, and Zhao Zheng could only stand next to him and be in a hurry, and just when this dispute was over, another person rushed over.

"Who are you, why are you spreading wild in front of my house!" The newcomer shouted angrily, rushed all the way like a whirlwind, and reached out to grab Xiao Yunyin's sleeve.

With Xiao Yunyin's skills, he could have easily pushed this person away, but he didn't do it, but stepped aside and fixed his eyes to see this person's appearance.

This person has a short stature, looks very rough, looks not young anymore, has bulging arms muscles, and obviously has the strength to handle, but he doesn't look like a martial artist. On his back, he carried an old axe, and in the distance lay a large bundle of wood, which looked like a woodcutter.

As soon as she saw this person appear, Chen Hua immediately rushed to the back of this person with tears in her eyes, and said in shock: "Dead man, you are finally back, this person doesn't know what's going on, I have to say what Xie Qingshu is I, and he is my father-in-law." ”

"Don't be afraid, lady, I will protect you, I will see who is farting here!" The woodcutter spoke very hard, and took the axe off and held it tightly in his hand. Don't look at the age of this axe, but the blade is bright and sharp.

He shook the bright axe and threatened: "You two get out of here, if you stay in front of my house and be presumptuous, don't blame me for the axe in my hand for being unkind!" ”

Hearing the lady in the past call a stranger Xianggong, Xiao Yunyin's face suddenly became ugly, her brows furrowed deeply, and her eyes were even more focused on the woodcutter. Anyone can see that there is a deep secret in this. After a long while, he adjusted his mood and said patiently: "Don't get excited, this brother, we are not bad people, and we are not here to find trouble. ”

"That's a nice thing to say, I'm not here to find trouble, so what are you two trying to do with my wife?" The woodcutter asked angrily.

"We are all from the Taishan faction, and we are actually here to find people. Seven years ago, the Taishan faction had a fight with other sects, and I participated in this fight with my mother, Xie Qingshu. Because the fight was too chaotic, my wife and I were separated in the fight. After the fight, I looked around for a trace of the lady, but I couldn't find her. I heard from this little brother three days ago that he had seen my lady here, and that's why I came here. Xiao Yunyin also regained his senses at this time, and slowly explained the purpose of his coming here.

When they heard the words seven years ago, Chen Niu and the woman who called herself Chen Hua were stunned for a moment, but this time it was the turn of the two of them to show that stunned expression.

Xiao Yunyin saw Chen Hua's expression, and immediately added: "The lady I used to say looks exactly like her, it is simply carved out of a mold, and even the position of the black mole is exactly the same." I'm sure she's the same person as my wife, but I don't understand why she won't admit it and lie that her name is Chen Hua. ”

"She, she's called Chen Hua, she's not a **! Get out of here, don't come to my house again! Chen Niu shook the axe in his hand and drove Xiao Yunyin away, but his tone was not as hard as before, obviously hiding something.

"Xianggong, don't rush him away first, let him finish his words." Chen Hua stopped the woodcutter, stepped forward, and asked, "You tell me more about what happened seven years ago, I want to hear it." ”

Xiao Yunyin nodded, and told the ins and outs of the future in more detail, starting from how he met the lady, and talked about it until the lady disappeared seven years ago. In the end, he also used the method of sound transmission to tell Chen Hua a birthmark on the mother's body located in an obscure part, and the location of this birthmark was only known to him, a person who was the prime minister.

Hearing the location of this birthmark, the look of surprise on Chen Hua's face became heavier, and she subconsciously touched the location, as if she also had such a birthmark.

After Xiao Yunyin finished speaking, he looked at Chen Hua deeply, his eyes were very complicated, including thoughts, doubts, and questions.

Chen Niu saw that the lady and Xiao Yunyin looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel angry, picked up the axe in his hand again, and said angrily: "You don't talk nonsense here, there is only Chen Hua here, there is nothing Xie Qingshu, you guys get out!" ”

"Xianggong, don't be like this, what he said is probably true. I can't live in a mess for the rest of my life, I have to figure out who I used to be, what I did, and why I ended up here. Chen Hua gently grabbed the current Xianggong, slowly snatched the axe, and put it under the wall.

"I don't care about those, I just know that you are my lady now." Chen Niu said sadly.

"Xianggong, don't worry, I have my own measure." Chen Hua raised her hand and gently held Chen Niu's hand, using a slight force in her hand to show her intentions.

Chen Niu nodded with a bitter face.

Chen Hua looked at Xiao Yunyin and Zhao Zheng, gestured at the door, and invited: "It's windy outside, it's inconvenient to talk, you two come in and sit." ”

The two finally got a decent treatment, arched their hands, and walked into the house together.

After sitting down, Chen Hua opened the conversation box and said: "At the beginning, I thought you were talking nonsense, but after listening to your story, I found that you really have a nose and eyes. Actually, I wasn't originally called Chen Hua, this name was given by me later. Seven years ago, for some unknown reason, I collapsed in this forest, seriously injured. When the husband found me, he rescued me, bandaged my wounds, and gave me decoction and medicine. He saved my life, and if it weren't for him, I would have died seven years ago. But although my injuries were healed, I could not remember what had happened before, why I was lying in the woods so badly wounded, that I had forgotten my name. I can't remember who I am, so I have to live here temporarily, and after coming and going, I have a good impression of Xianggong, so I am committed to marrying him. Although he was poor, didn't have much money, and was just a woodcutter, he had been very good to me all these years and I was very grateful to him. ”

Chen Hua said and glanced at Chen Niu with a bitter face, smiled, then looked at Xiao Yunyin, and continued: "You said that I disappeared seven years ago, which coincides with the time when I came here seven years ago, and as for other things, you are also very right. In this way, I may really be the Xie Qingshu you are talking about, and I used to be your wife. ”

These words finally solved the mystery completely, it turned out that Xie Qingshu lost her original memory because of serious injuries after the war seven years ago, forgot who she was, and married strangers. No wonder she has not been heard from all these years, and she has not returned to the Taishan faction to find Xiao Yunyin. (To be continued.) )
