Chapter 021: The Water Country Killer
Guide Mansion is a strange place, it is located in the heart of the Central Plains, rich in products, simple folk customs, but because there is no danger to defend, the four countries have repeatedly competed, and they have not really occupied this place.
After the discussion of the four kingdoms in the ninety-third year of Zhemeng, it was decided to give this place to Hongxian for the purpose of studying and cultivating immortals, although Hongxian was the lord of the city and did not live in the city, he still lived in his hometown Zhefang, and handed over the Guide Mansion to the second disciple Hua Zhong to govern.
After Hua Zhong served as the governor, he guided the people to be good, turned the people into learning, engaged in all kinds of industries and became rich, and those who practiced wisdom and achieved success, in the past 12 years, although the four countries often had conflicts in the left, but the Guide Mansion became more and more prosperous.
In previous years, the place where the younger brother and the eldest concubine traveled north was also a place that the nobles of all countries were keen to yearn for - Zhefang. This is the place where Hongxian teaches Hui Neng to practice, a hundred years ago there was only one ancient Zhe, a thatched hut, now the Zhe trees are everywhere, the pond flowers are everywhere, the pavilions are endless, the pavilions are even the sky, it has already become the first choice for the world to practice Hui Neng.

Every day, endless waves of water flew backwards, and the brothers had not yet adapted to the boat, and they were dizzy along the way, and they were struggling not to squeak. In the evening of this day, the food and fresh water in the cabin were exhausted, the boat slowed down, and the bow of the boat sounded Second Uncle You's happy voice, "Two sons, in front of Suzhou City, we are going ashore, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't forget to bring that rectangular bench."
For many days, Xiao Wen seems to have changed as a person, although he is no longer noisy to find his mother, but the silence makes people look more worried, Chen Che cheered up and wanted to take his younger brother to the most lively place in Yuzhou City to play, so that his younger brother was happy.
Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, the most solemn festivals in Middle-earth, so solemn that most of the world's disputes, hatreds, and calculations can be suspended for a few days, it is a festival of reunion and peace, and every household is bringing out the best food, new clothes, decorations and other items to pray for the new year.
In the bustling crowd, there was a small child holding his mother's hand, pretending to take the biggest step, as if he was competing with his mother again, and walked past Xiaowen's side one by one, and soon melted into the crowd on the street.
Chen Che couldn't move his steps anymore, he saw Xiao Wen's tears welling up in his eyes in his blurred vision, tears rolling down his cheeks like clear lines, and in the afterglow, he saw the stupid girl's gently twitching shoulders, and there was a helpless sigh from Second Uncle You in his ears.
Under the nest, Chen Che panicked for a long time, and now, there is finally a piece of Qingming filled into his heart, slowly drying his eyes, although he didn't understand how this Qingming appeared, but an oath has been pierced in his heart: endure hatred, accumulate strength, remove smoke and fog as soon as possible, avenge his mother, let everything be clear!

"Two little princes, let this seat be easy to find, you can deceive the seventh sister at such a young age, hehe", the woman who laughed coldly through the cold wind is the Capricorn Si Ming Shui Songxiang of the twelve zodiac signs of the water country, this woman is a master of the Shan Hao level, good at poisoning, ruthless, always maverick, come and go without a trace.
"Don't stay still, for the sake of the side that hugged you when I was a child, I will tell you a piece of news, your mother has been subdued, and the emperor is benevolent, so people have buried her. Shui Songxiang lightly opened her lips and ruthlessly said a fact.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang in his head, and the two Chen Che brothers knelt on the ground weakly.
"Quick, wash up, you guys get some more sap, hey, damn red bees. Although the two brothers were stung into pigs' heads, they were still recognized by their mothers at a glance, "Don't be afraid, I've already asked Su Yatou to chase those pesky red bees." ”
"Huh, are you?" a big-faced woman came in from outside the door, and her mother looked at her suspiciously.
"Ugh... Hehe, Hui Niangniang, I'm a plain girl, the honeycomb has been removed by me and thrown into the water, don't be afraid, your highnesses. The girl washed her face and smiled.
"You stupid girl, you're stupid. The mother couldn't cry or laugh, and kindly blamed her, and suddenly her eyes froze, and she looked at Su Yatou solemnly, "Although you are a little stupid, your loyalty is not fake, it is good for you to change your name to a stupid mother in the future!"
"Okay, okay, whatever my mother asks me to call, I'll call it?"
"That's not what I mean, if one day...... Alas, you promised me that never... Be a stupid girl and ...... for me Alas!" Mother and dear son were heartbroken, and said strange things sadly.
The scene of the mother's worries was shattered in the cold wind like a bubble, and Chen Che's ten fingers entered the flesh, and his heart was like a knife.
Shui Songxiang sat in front of the carriage, dressed in black, and her eyes lightly picked at the two stunned children, allowing the two children to stand there trembling.
"Brave minions, keep your dog's life for the time being. After Shui Songxiang finished speaking, she patted the two of them, and the two of them, who had stiffened for some reason, coughed violently, and panicked to protect Chen Wen, who had fainted.
This scene at the root of the north wall of Suzhou City did not attract people's attention, and people were still immersed in the joy of welcoming the New Year. Chen Che was in great grief, and faced the predicament in front of him, thinking of this, even if he was reluctant in every way, unwilling in every way, he was also unable to do so, and unconsciously his clenched fist touched a ball of paper in his pocket, Chen Che had an idea, and opened his mouth to shout.
"Aunt Ten, don't move, you take a look at this first!"
Chen Che only had a piece of paper on his body, which was still used to wrap steamed buns in the shiphold, and he took it out in a hurry, and the experienced Shui Songxiang moved the soft whip in his hand, and the paper ball was shattered into confetti, and there was a bloody mark on the back of Chen Che's hand, and the blood instantly stained the sleeve red.
"County Lord, please let us go. ”
"The child is innocent!"
When Stupid Niang and Second Uncle You saw Shui Songxiang committing murder, they quickly grabbed Chen Che and begged Shui Songxiang to stop.
"Hahaha, Aunt Ten is so timid?" The injury on the back of his hand did not make Chen Che frown, but he saw a glimmer of hope.
"I know that the imperial uncle will definitely use the people of the water country to arrest me and my brother, I don't take the people of the water country seriously, but I only guard against you, because my father often said that the ten commanders are the most capable people under the lord of the water country, how can I not make a little preparation. Chen Che said unhurriedly, Shui Songxiang was also overjoyed when she heard that the imperial brother had praised herself so much, and involuntarily bent the corners of her mouth.
"The paper you broke just now is actually a piece of waste paper, I wrote a lot of them with charcoal, and there are more than one book collections, and there is only one sentence on each piece of paper: Shui Songxiang who killed my brother. Chen Che paused for a moment and looked at Shui Songxiang, because these were all made up by him, so he must be calm, and he must not let the other party see the slightest inappropriateness.
Shui Songxiang thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "So what?"
"This is the bottom one, and you can tell by the indentation what I've written. In fact, the paper had already been shattered into confetti, and there was nothing to see at all, Shui Songxiang only glanced down at the confetti, and at this moment, Chen Che quickly picked up a broken pottery pot by the wall, and without waiting for Shui Songxiang to react, he smashed it on his head, and then held a sharp pottery shard against his throat.
"After I die, the book will be revealed to the world, even the young son of the royal family will not be spared, you have paid to the emperor, I believe that the emperor will definitely look at you differently. ”
There was a trace of confusion in Shui Songxiang's eyes, this child's approach really startled her, and she was so ruthless, which was the practice of a doll in her teens, so she had to soften her heart and persuade: "My aunt never said that she would kill you, just go back to Kaijing with me, and put down the pottery shard." ”
"Returning to Kaijing is also a death. Chen Che pretended to be silent for a while, then said, "Three days, I want to spend the last New Year with my brother for three days, and then take my brother back with you, otherwise, you can take my corpse back."
Looking at Chen Che's resolute and tragic eyes, Shui Songxiang sighed and spit out two words: "One day!"

The whole small inn was empty, seeing that there were people from the water country, the shopkeeper hid early, and in the dim light, Chen Che was quietly analyzing something with Second Uncle You and Stupid Niang, and after the two listened, there was a rare joy between their eyebrows.
That night, the night of the last day of Zhemeng's 116th year, every family finished Chinese New Year's Eve, and people fell asleep with the joy of waiting for the New Year, along with the whole Suzhou. Outside a small hotel in Nancheng, You Erma was holding the stupid girl, Chen Che was carrying Chen Wen on his back, two west and two east, running desperately, until the last street in the east city gate, Chen Che stopped, put down his younger brother on his back, pulled the thick cotton clothes, bent over, and gasped for white air.
"Aunt Ten, don't get me wrong, my brothers came out to pick up a cannonball, and Aunt Don't work to protect it. ”
On the second floor, the woman in Xuanyi sat on the railing, one leg hanging in the air and swaying gently, with a chuckle hanging on her shiny and small red lips.
"It's good to know that I can't run away, I want to see what rescue soldiers these two slaves can bring to the two highnesses!"
"You mean that Stupid Niang and Second Uncle You ran away, hateful! Don't let me see them again. After listening to Chen Che's words, Shui Songxiang snorted contemptuously again, and then watched the two children who walked like snails back to the hotel step by step.

In the 117th year of Zhemeng, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, but Shui Songxiang was about to go crazy, a child was tied to the pillar in front of him, and the whip of "beep horn" was about to ring over the sound of firecrackers outside the door, and each whip was slammed on the child's not strong body, but the child still gritted his teeth and insisted, not even a soft snort, and the angry Shui Songxiang sat on the chair, looking at the dummy disguised in Chen Wen's clothes on the bed, and was so angry that he spit out a sip of tea on the ground.
"Good boy, I went to the toilet with my little hall a few times in one night, it turned out that a stupid lady had already dug up the back wall of the toilet and stole it from His Royal Highness, quickly say, where did they flee?"
"I don't know, I don't know. Chen Che replied hatefully.
There is a window in the front row of the small building, a small crack has been opened, and a pair of sharp eyes behind the window are watching all this from afar, the person exudes the unique aura of a spiritual level master, he clenched his fists several times, and he let go as if he remembered something, after a long time, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and closed the window door with a "snap".
"Brother Che, hehe, I want to rest for a while, can you take care of this body?"
"Do you think this is fatigue driving? You're tired of me, huh. In the sea of wisdom, Chen Che glanced at Chen Che with disdain, "I want to possess it for a while, but with my weak consciousness, it is estimated that if the three whips go down, we will both have to finish playing, alas! ”
"I know this word, amazing! You are the boss in the fight, how many people do you compare to?" He only read Chen Che's intellectual memories, and these life memories seemed to have been thrown away by him.
"The champion of the whole dormitory, those guys, one is fiercer than the other, haha, I remember when I received the award, I watched my sheets slowly rise in the middle of the balcony, I grabbed the award bottle tightly, and I was so excited, alas, I didn't say anything, I was full of tears. Chen Che said that it took a long time to notice Xiao Chen Che's disdainful expression.
"Alas, I don't believe in my brother's strength, right, there are city champions and runners-up among my roommates, if it weren't for the fear that my wife would be angry, there would be no chance for them to come out......"
Listening to his explanation, Xiao Chen Che's expression became even more disdainful, a person who was afraid of even his wife, it seemed that he couldn't count on it.
