"Later, we analyzed it together, and suspected that it was Mrs. Xie and her son who killed those two people for money, and then fled by boat."

"How do you know that mother and son are going to kill?" Seeing Xiao Wenxuan's dark face, he asked without a shadow.

"Our suspicions are also well-founded, Xie Pozi's man was a famous pirate in this neighborhood before, and that woman also followed him at sea and killed an unknown number of people. Later, her man was caught and beheaded by the government, and the mother and son fled here. ”

Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Wenxuan's face gradually turned cold, one lip was tightened, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his tone made people shudder.

"Where are the people buried?"

The old man looked at Wuying at a loss: Why is this person so afraid of people? You won't kill yourself in a fit of rage, will you?

Wuying knew that the old man was afraid, but in fact, he was also afraid of the master's scene.

"Trouble the old man to take us there." Shadowless whispered to the old man.

The old man hurriedly took them to his mother-in-law's house. In less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Xie's house arrived. To be precise, this is no longer a home, but a pile of ruins.

The old man led them to the foot of the hill in the backyard of Mrs. Xie's house, where two new graves stood in front of them.

Xiao Wenxuan ordered Wuying to call the others, and he stood in place in a daze, motionless. He didn't believe that Ling'er, who he had been looking for for so long, would die here, and he didn't believe that Wei Huai'an's skills would kill two ordinary villagers.

"What were they like when they came to the island?"

Xiao Wenxuan's gloomy voice lingered in the air as if it was about to take people's souls, making the old man tremble all over, and he had to hold on to the trees around him so that he would not fall.

"They...... Their clothes were torn...... Thin face...... It seems to be a little unsteady when walking...... At first glance, it looks like a ...... who has suffered a little."

"Alright, there you go." Xiao Wenxuan couldn't bear to listen any longer, and waved weakly.

As if he had been granted amnesty, the old man ran down the hill with a rolling belt.

When Wuying gathered all the people and arrived, Xiao Wenxuan raised his head and ordered: "Raise the grave." ”

Yes? Everyone looked at each other and looked at Wuyin together.

Without a shadow or speaking, he drew a dagger from his body and took the lead in planing, and everyone hurriedly did the same when they saw it. These men fought first-class and dug graves faster than others, and in a few moments, two corpses wrapped in straw mats were dug up.

Xiao Wenxuan swallowed the tears in his eyes and walked over to the small corpse that had been burned beyond its mask. The corpse had been burned to the point of black charcoal, and it was impossible to distinguish its appearance.

Xiao Wenxuan looked carefully, the height and body size were about the same, the body was slightly curled up, there was no trace of struggle, it seemed that it was burned after death.

Xiao Wenxuan checked the corpse, and there were no obvious wounds, could it be that he was burned to death after being knocked unconscious?

Xiao Wenxuan felt a dull pain in his chest, and when his eyes fell on the corpse's ears, Xiao Wenxuan reached out and touched the black ash on the earrings, revealing the orange-red color of agate.

The moment he saw this agate earring, Xiao Wenxuan's face changed greatly, his whole body trembled, and suddenly his throat was slightly sweet, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, and then his eyes turned black, and his body shook a few times and fell backwards.

Wuying, who was following him, knew the relationship between Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling, and had long prevented the master from knowing that Su Muling was killed and couldn't accept it, so when Xiao Wenxuan was about to fall, he held Xiao Wenxuan in time and helped him to the root of the tree.

"Lord Wang? Rajah? ”

Xiao Wenxuan didn't answer, and two lines of tears flowed from his closed eyes.

This pair of agate earrings was worn by Xiao Wenxuan when she last saw Su Muling, so Xiao Wenxuan recognized it.

Xiao Wenxuan also wanted to find evidence from the corpse to prove that Su Muling was still alive and that the deceased was someone else, but this pair of agate earrings was not something that ordinary fishermen could have.

Xiao Wenxuan dug the grave and did not get the news of Su Muling's death, but confirmed Su Muling's death with his own eyes. Xiao Wenxuan couldn't accept this fact, he was so grief-stricken that he almost fainted.

Wuying had no choice but to forcibly give him pills that helped calm his nerves. When Xiao Wenxuan fell asleep under the effect of the drug, Wuying put him on his back, leaving two people to guard, and everyone escorted him back to the boat.

In the evening, Xiao Wenxuan woke up.

Sitting up from the bed, he seemed to be ten years older. In just a few hours, there were a few more strands of gray hair on his sideburns, his cheeks were sunken, his face was bloodless, the whole person was languishing, and the dazzling peach blossom eyes on weekdays had lost their former light like withering.

Wuying, who had been guarding the bedside, hurriedly poured a glass of water and sent it forward: "Childe, drink some water." ”

Xiao Wenxuan looked at him stunned and was silent for a long time.

Wuying didn't know what to do, so he had to put the cup down and persuaded softly: "Lord, this is the case, the prince also asks for condolences, Miss Su...... is still waiting for the prince to decide. ”

"Help me up." Shadowless hurriedly stepped forward to set him up.

Xiao Wenxuan was no longer able to support his body, and the whole person leaned on Wuying's body, his two feet were like rootless duckweed, which made people feel so distressed that they couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Shadowless took two steps, no longer asking for his opinion, and turned around and carried him on his back. Behind them a crowd followed, torches in their hands, to show them the way.

When he arrived at the grave again, Wuying put Xiao Wenxuan down. Xiao Wenxuan knelt in front of the corpse, tears blurring his eyes:

"Ling'er, it's me who is not good, I'm late. I shouldn't have let you go alone, what kind of country, what rebellion, the country is dead, I can still find a way to take it back, but you are gone...... Where do you want me to go up and find you? Ling'er, I know that you have suffered and suffered along the way, and you have been killed by others. Don't worry, I will not let go of those who hurt you, and when I catch those two people and let them pay for their blood debts, I will accompany you again, and we will never be separated again. ”

Xiao Wenxuan struggled to get up after speaking, took a few steps back, and said weakly: "Burn, the bones are collected, I want to take them away." ”

The people were commanded, and in a moment they set up a fire. "Shadowless, you go find someone to draw the picture of the mother and son. From now on, a reward of thousands of gold will be offered. ”

"Yes." Wuying handed over Xiao Wenxuan to Fang Ping, and led people to do the most important thing at the moment.

In the evening night sky, red flames burned, swept up and down with the power of the sea breeze. The fire burned the branches and "crackled", as if telling the mood of this time.

The fishermen on the island, who were watching from afar, were again talking about each other, speculating with each other about the origin of this group and the relationship between the dead people.

An hour later, the ship was offshore again.

……

On this night, on another small island not far away, Su Muling and Wei Huai'an, who were considered "dead", were lying in the cabin stolen from the Xie family and enjoying a rare night since they went to sea.

A few days ago, at Mrs. Xie's house, they both fainted after eating Mrs. Xie's drugged meal. Mrs. Xie took Xie Lin to the firewood room where Wei Huai'an was kept, handed the knife to Xie Lin, and let him finish Wei Huai'an.

Xie Lin took the firewood knife, panicked, he looked at Wei Huai'an and didn't dare to step forward. After a while, Xie Lin looked at his mother-in-law in embarrassment: "Mother, I haven't killed anyone...... I don't dare...... Otherwise, let's throw him into the sea. ”

The mother-in-law rolled his eyes hatefully: "Why did I give birth to such a useless person as you, I think your father was a famous pirate king all over the world, who heard your father's name and trembled with fright?" You don't even have a cold hair from your father, so do it quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night. The mother-in-law scolded Xie Lin, who was still hesitating, and urged.

After Xie Lin was scolded by his mother-in-law, he mustered up the courage to walk towards Wei Huai'an with a firewood knife. After all, it was the first time to kill, Xie Lin was very nervous, he looked at Wei Huai'an, who had closed his eyes tightly and had a face more delicate than a woman, and raised the firewood knife in his hand with some trembling hands......

Suddenly, Wei Huai'an opened his eyes, and then his body moved, and the whole person rose from the ground. I saw him quickly turn behind Xie Lin, and a knife came fiercely on the back of his neck, Xie Lin snorted, his hands let go, his legs bent and fainted to the ground.

The moment the firewood knife landed, Wei Huai'an stretched out his foot and spun a beautiful arc on the back of the knife, and the knife fell steadily into Wei Huai'an's hand.

Everything happened so suddenly, and before the woman could even scream, Wei Huai'an put a firewood knife on her neck.

"You dead mother-in-law, you want to kill me. Say, "Where is the girl?" What did you do to her? ”

The mother-in-law didn't expect things to change so quickly, she had a cold blade on her neck, and she had to tell the truth: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, that girl is in the house well, and we didn't treat her well...... You, you let me go, we're just a poor man, we're ...... We don't dare anymore. ”

"Let you go? Give me the antidote first, or I'll kill him first. ”

Dare to calculate him, Wei Huai'an hates to turn out the mother and son of this wolf ambition right now.

"The antidote is there, in ...... In my house. ”

The mother-in-law couldn't think of how Wei Huai'an could wake up so quickly, the medicine she gave was very effective, and as long as she ate a few bites, it was enough to make people fall asleep for seven or eight hours.

"Let's go."

Wei Huai'an escorted his mother-in-law to the room, and the mother-in-law opened a cabinet, found a medicine bottle from it and carefully gave it to him.

Wei Huai'an opened the cork with one hand, poured out a pill from it, ordered the mother-in-law to open her mouth, threw one directly into her throat, stared at her and swallowed it, observed it for a while, and then poured out another pill and took it herself.

"Let's go, take me to the girl."

The mother-in-law still had a firewood knife around her neck, so she had to follow him obediently.

In fact, with Wei Huai'an's martial arts, there is no need to threaten her with a knife at all. It's just that Wei Huai'an is disgusted with her people and the fishy smell all over her body, and he doesn't want to touch her in the slightest, so he uses a firewood knife to sway her.

The two came to the room where Su Muling was locked up one after the other, and Wei Huai'an saw Su Muling lying on Xie Lin's bed, still asleep. With a cold glint in his eyes, he struck the back of his knife on each of his mother-in-law's knees.

only heard two crisp sounds of "pop", the mother-in-law's two kneecaps were shattered, and the mother-in-law collapsed to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain.

Wei Huai'an kicked her into the corner of the house, and the mother-in-law's head hit the wall heavily and she didn't move.
