The rain on a cold day in January was hazy in previous years, but the rainstorm in front of him made Li Moyi feel shocked and amazed.

His wounds were washed by the rain, and the flesh and skin were turned open, showing a miserable white color, and the slightest red stain had just seeped out, and it would be washed away by the rain immediately.

After walking in the rain for such a long time, he was exhausted, although he tried to hold the sharp knife, but still could not calm his trembling hands, both of his palms were cut by the thief's single knife, the wound was actually very deep, and now it had already cracked under the rain, this pain in the heart, had made him feel numb.

When the figure rushed in front of him, he saw the scars on the man's chin and neck.........

Sure enough, it was Wanzu's group that caught up.........

Li Moyi didn't flinch at all, because he knew that he couldn't run away, his physical strength could no longer support his escape again, and it was difficult to even resist, so when the black-shirted man pointed the tip of the knife at his heart, he decisively gave up resistance.

The man in black saw that Li Mo lowered his hands, but his cold face did not have the slightest expression, and the rain fell down, as if it was smashed on a 10,000-year-old stone sculpture that was like an immovable.

But at this moment, another person wearing a straw hat rushed out from the side, kicked Li Moyi's heart, and kicked Li Moyi out like a sandbag.........

"Whoop!!

As soon as Li Mo landed in a puddle of water without feet, a small amount of turbid rain rushed into his mouth and nose, and he, who was already suffocated by the kick, was immediately choked by the rain, his whole face was black and red, and his eyes were full of red silk.........

His lungs were burning as hot, and his vision was blurry and shaking, as if he was going to die and fall in the next moment.

Li Mo tried hard to keep breathing, but his lungs were like pressing against a huge mountain, and it took a long time to breathe, he breathed heavily, coughed desperately, and rain, tears, and snot gushed out with sticky red stains, and this feeling was ten times stronger than the pain on his body......

He blinked his eyes hard, squeezing the tears out of his sockets, and his vision became slightly clearer, and he could see the man's face clearly, the white skin, the obvious double eyelids on the face, it was the little white face that walked with the man in the black shirt.

He tried to raise his head, but the little white face pointed at him and scolded angrily: "You despicable dog thief, not only robbed the ancestor and imprisoned the two of us in a coffin, but now you are still ......... And it hurt my senior brother like this......... This account has to be settled with you kid today!! ”

Li Mo knew that this little white face saw that the thief was dying, and he was afraid that he had imposed all these sins on himself.

But this little white face didn't want to think about it, and said that the thief was seriously injured, even if he Li Moyi was not much better.

However, Li Moyi didn't intend to explain anything, these people were ruthless, they didn't have the slightest mercy, they would do whatever it took to achieve their goals, and they killed innocents, Li Moyi was resolutely unwilling to stand on the same front with such people, and the right to explain should be a superfluous word.

Li Mo finally recovered his strength, and saw that the little white face rolled up his sleeves, and wanted to rush over and beat himself, secretly holding the knife in his hand, as long as he dared to rush over, Li Moyi didn't mind leaving some traces on his white face.........

However, the man in the black shirt stepped out to stop the little white face, and said in a low voice: "Childe, senior brother is important, there is no need to entangle with this dog thief, let's take it back first."

Li Moyi always felt that this black-shirted man was disgusting and kind, and he also had an indescribable kindness to him, but he knew that the little white-faced man seemed to look down on the black-shirted man very much.

Sure enough, when the little white face heard this, he pointed to the black-shirted man's nose and scolded: "When does this son want you to point fingers at this slave!!"

It was not the first time that the man in the black shirt had been reprimanded by Xiao Baimian, he only frowned slightly, but Xiao Baiyan snorted coldly and said, "Since you feel so sorry for this dog thief, you are responsible for taking him back........."

The man in the black shirt didn't reply, but walked over to Li Mo, Li Mo hid the knife back in his belt, and then he was in pain, and he was carried on the shoulder by the man in black shirt.

“……… Hmph, not to mention the ancestors who were robbed before, now they dare to seriously injure my senior brother, even if I don't kill you, the master and his old man will pick your skin!! Little White Face said intimidatingly.

…………

…………

When I walked a little further, I saw two people I had never seen before making a simple stretcher out of branches and clothes, carrying the thief, and a man beside him was holding a large straw hat woven with bamboo strips like a big turtle shell, to protect the thief from the wind and rain.

The thief was covered with a dry blanket, and although his whole body was still shaking, he had regained consciousness.

Seeing that the man in black shirt was carrying Li Mo over, the thief beckoned with difficulty.

…………

…………

Li Moyi's head was lowered, he felt vaguely uneasy, raised his head slightly, and saw that the thief was staring at him desperately, and then raised his hand with all his strength and gave Li Mo a punch!!

"Peng!!"

Li Mo felt a pain in his heart, and his already tired body almost fell to the ground.........

"You kid has a good heart, you're vicious!! He left me, the wounded, and ran alone......... If it hadn't been for the juniors and disciples arriving in time, you would have almost succeeded in your kid's trick......... Run, I'll see you run again!! ”

I don't know if it's because his body is too weak and tired, Li Moyi's ears are faintly chirping, but he still heard the thief's scolding full of resentment.

He wanted to explain it briefly, wanting to tell the other party that he was not running away and leaving, but looking for firewood to save his life, but looking at the thief's expression and eyes, Li Moyi just sneered, and secretly said that he seemed to have really become the farmer among the farmer and the snake.........

The thief didn't expect Li Mo to defend himself for a while, and pointed to the pocket that the man in black shirt was holding, and the man in black immediately understood, so he handed the pocket to the thief.

Li Mo spat out a mouthful of red foam, and no longer looked at the thief he had saved with great difficulty.

At this time, the man with the straw hat next to him spoke: "Let's go out of the valley first, and then go back to make a living."

The thief punched Li Mo one by one, as if he had exhausted his strength, he just nodded, and the group walked in the direction of Tanikou in the rain.

The man in the black shirt was silent, without any words, his body was as strong as iron and stone, as if he had inexhaustible strength, and carrying Li Moyi was as easy as carrying an empty cloth bag.

However, seeing that Li Moyi's body was still flowing red stains, he seemed to be a little unbearable, and adjusted his posture slightly, so that Li Moyi could stand up straight, and the red liquid no longer went down, so Li Moyi stopped the red stains slightly.

…………

I don't know when the heavy rain will stop, and after walking for half an hour, the team finally got out of the valley.

Not far in front of them, there was a dilapidated Yechengshan Temple, and these people were worried about the thief's injury, so they walked into the Yechengshan Temple and raised a fire to take shelter from the rain and warm themselves.

At this time, Li Moyi discovered that the two people carrying the stretcher turned out to be tall older women, with thick hands and feet, dark complexion, and high bulging mandibles under the temples.

I don't know where the sacred is enshrined in this wild mountain temple, the statue has long been dilapidated, and I can't see a specific appearance, the hall is empty and dry, and after the fire is raised, it is extraordinarily warm.

The two female warriors had to treat the thief's wounds and inform everyone that the thief needed a quiet environment to recuperate, and the others went to the side hall for the time being.

…………

…………

The black-shirted man lit a fire in the side hall, and then he resisted Li Moyi, and when the little white face saw it, he kicked Li Moyi away, as if he was kicking a rabbit dog in the water.........

The middle-aged man who had just sheltered the thief from the wind and rain did not stop him, he took off his straw hat, and showed his long gray hair, three long beards, and a clear and solemn face, which was very decent.

The middle-aged man leaned close to the fire, baking the wet sleeves and trouser legs, steaming up bursts of white mist, seeing the black-shirted man's brows furrowed, he smiled and spoke.

"Tanzhong, I know what you think......... But you must know that although this matter has not yet been clarified, it is an indisputable fact that the senior brother looks like this, and these things are not something you and I can decide, and you should also know that this kid is not an ordinary person, if he seizes the opportunity, he may use some means to deal with us........."

The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, but Li Mo heard it clearly, thinking that this black-shirted man named Tanzhong really didn't look like a wicked person, he had some protection for his injured self, and he did not spare his hand in the carriage before, but he was forced by the situation at that time, and he didn't know anything, and Li Moyi also had a clear conscience.

Tanzhong heard the middle-aged man say this, just bowed his head silently, and then put Li Moyi up sideways, put it on the edge of the fire again, untied the wine bag on his body, and handed it to Li Moyi.

Seeing this, the little white face was about to be embarrassed again, he blushed, and scolded to Tanzhong: "Are you drinking and drinking your brain stupidly!" Didn't Mr. Don't You Mean That You Just Said Clearly Enough!! ”

Tanzhong turned a deaf ear to this, just stubbornly carrying the wine bag, Li Mo glanced at the little white face, did not hesitate any longer, took the wine bag and poured it out.

Most of the rice wine is brewed in this year, the degree is very low, the entrance is light and soft, but the stamina is very strong, although the shochu technology has been very mature, but ordinary people still like the taste of rice wine.

Li Mo was already hungry and thirsty, and as soon as this rice wine was in his stomach, most of his whole person recovered his vitality, so he nodded towards Tanzhong to express his gratitude.

The little white face was about to speak again, but he heard the unhungry gentleman say: "Beika, you are also a little restless, and someone else will also say a fair word, if it wasn't for Tanzhong just now, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss in this Li Mo's hand........."

When Li Mo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, and glanced at the book without hunger, the latter smiled meaningfully, obviously seeing Li Moyi's intention to hide the knife in the water, waiting for an opportunity to stab Xiao Bai's face.

Tan Zhong was also silent for a while, only lowered his head, obviously he also knew Li Moyi's intentions, so he went over to carry Li Moyi.

When the little white face heard this, his face was quite disdainful, but he was not hungry for the book, so he just muttered in a low voice: "Just him?" This dog thief is not even as good as a happy dog now, how can he hurt me? ”

Although he said this, there was still a faint trace of vigilance in his eyes that he despised Li Moyi.

Shu Bu Hunger chuckled, his eyes swept over Li Moyi's belt, neither breaking it with words, nor forcing Li Moyi to hand over the knife, as if everything was under his control, no matter how Li Moyi fluttered, he couldn't make the slightest splash.

At this time, in the main hall, the two female warriors had already cleaned up their wounds and were about to put a special medicine on the thief, and the thief ordered: "There is a seal in my cicada bag, you can take it out and use it."

One of the warriors nodded, and went to the pocket, but when she opened it, her expression was a little glazed.

"Big brother......... Inside........."

The thief frowned and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

The warrior reached in and grabbed a handful of dry sawdust like grass and other things that ignited fire.........

…………

…………

The heavy rain outside the temple finally stopped.

Shu Bu Hunger and Little White Face visited the main hall of the broken mountain temple and confirmed that the thief's injuries had stabilized, so they decided to continue on their way.

Under Tanzhong's several maintenances, Xiao Baiyan no longer embarrassed Li Moyi, and when the thief saw Li Moyi again, there was less hostility in his eyes.

Although he and Li Moyi had fought with their lives, Li Moyi did not treat him as a backing in any way, but when he found that his leather bag was full of fire-starters, and found that Li Moyi did not run away, but went out in the rain with his injuries, trying to make a fire to save him, his attitude towards Li Moyi eased a lot.

This may be the acquaintance of Shengsheng, Li Moyi held him hostage, although he hated Li Moyi, but when he found out that Li Moyi couldn't help but cast spells to save him, he would easily change his opinion of Li Moyi's whole person.

Li Moyi naturally didn't know anything about the changes in the thief's heart, and now he basically figured out the ins and outs of the Shizi shipwreck case, and the only thing left was to find out the person behind the scenes.........

After solving this matter, first establish a new identity in the city of Liling, and continue to do so in the future.........

…………

…………

In the investigation of cases, there is a saying that "motive is king", and the motive of committing the crime is also a crucial element in solving the case.

Li Moyi didn't know much about cicada poison, but judging from Ning Xuan's symptoms before, cicada poison seems to have a long incubation period, which means that even if Wanzu presents cicada poison to Hezhong, he doesn't need to board the cruise ship.

But Wanzu finally boarded the ship, which also shows that in addition to presenting cicada poison to Hezhong, Wanzu should have other intentions, if it is just to present cicada poison to Hezhong, then the cicada poison in advance is to appear on the Shizi's cruise ship to increase his own suspicion.

So what is the other purpose of Wanzu on the ship?

Was it involved in the death of other scholars?

In any case, Wan Zu is now the most critical and suspect person in this case.

And although the thief acted fiercely, his purpose was obviously only to protect his junior sister Wanzu, and the object of their defense was Wanzu's former employer, Hejia.

So why did the family chase after Wanzu?

Is there any other motive besides extinguishing the mouth?

After the ancestor boarded the scholar's cruise, he should have been instructed by the family, so who was the family instructed by him?

If it was instructed by the Hezhong family, why did he present cicada poison to Hezhong?

Wanzu didn't listen to the call, and the cicada poisoned Hezhongcheng, could it be one of the motives for the Hejia to chase Wanzu?

What is the use of the two gold and bronze keys obtained by Duo Niang and the thief?

…………

…………

Perhaps worried about the thief's injury, after leaving the valley, the group boarded the carriage and quickly headed in the direction of the division.

Thousands of threads were entangled in his mind, and Li Moyi also closed his eyes slightly along the way, constantly peeling off the cocoons by taking advantage of the time to recuperate, and pondered the breakthrough of this case in his mind.........

It wasn't until he arrived at his destination that Li Moyi came back from his contemplation.

…………

…………

After the ancestor is located in a village in the mountains outside the city of Liling, the master is also the owner of the village, there are many cottages in the coastal area of the northern country, the scale is large and small, the owner of the village plays the role of the leader, has the absolute authority to speak, after receiving the news, the people in the village are all waiting outside the village, and the carriage is taken in.

Li Mo glanced at it, there are many hanging floors and low wooden houses in this village, and the appearance is not much different from ordinary houses, the upper floor is inhabited, and the lower floor is raised with livestock.

If it was an ordinary prisoner, Li Moyi would have been thrown into the beast pen a long time ago, but Li Moyi is now a wanted criminal who everyone knows about, and he is involved in this case of the shipwreck of the scholar, and the book is not hungry and others will bring him to the front of the old man, the master of the village.

…………

…………

The old man is black, thin and shriveled, giving people a sinister and fierce feeling, and he can't tell the specific age, probably around fifty.

He was dressed in black cloth, with a turban wrapped around his head, and a waist knife on his shoulder, the handle of which had been sharpened to a round and smooth surface, as if it had become a part of his body, and most of the people in the stockade were barefoot, even the old man was no exception.

In front of him was a fire pit, and the remaining charcoal in it was still flickering in the wind, reflecting the face of the old man, and setting off the look on his face more majestic.

On the edge of the fire pond is a bamboo couch, on which are placed the things found from Li Moyi's body, which is the white mask that Ning Xuan gave to Li Moyi, and the big cold girl is shrinking in the corner at this time, her hands and feet are not restrained, and she is not embarrassed by it.

"Brother Li!!"

Seeing that Li Mo was fine, Da Han was also so surprised that his eyes wet, and he got up and threw himself into Li Moyi's arms, crying silently.

She is just a little girl who serves people, first the whole family was wiped out, and then went through hardships, at this time she was in the mouth of a tiger, and regarded Li Moyi as the only one to rely on, the cottage can be described as a fierce people, most of them are walking with knives, everyone is like a wolf and a tiger, she is an ordinary little girl, she is trembling all the time, after seeing Li Moyi, where do you care about the left and right.

Da Han was trembling all over, and as soon as Li Mo knew that she had lost her soul in fear, she also patted him lightly on the back and calmed down.

At this moment, a person came out of the next room, rushed to Li Moyi, and tore away the big cold.

Break through the air!!

immediately kicked the defenseless Li Mo in the mouth and gnawed on the mud.........

"You shameless person who doesn't know the height of the sky!! How dare you hurt Senior Brother!! ”

The speed of this kick was extremely fast, and there was a faint sound of breaking the air, and it hit Li Moyi's body firmly, Li Mo's abdomen ached, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a warm bright red.

He looked at the Wan Ancestor who suddenly rushed out and kicked him with all his might, but simply wiped the bright red from the corners of his mouth, and his expression was frighteningly cold.

"Wan Zu!!"

The old man of the master sighed, and the eyes of the ancestor showed a fierce light, but he still bit his lower lip and stepped aside.

"You all go out, I have something to talk to about this Li Shaoxia alone." The old man has never been the same, and everyone has to be ordered to retreat.
