Chapter 120: Identifying the Body
The East China Sea was not too far from Yangzhou, and by the time Huo Qingxin and Wen Linglong arrived, Wen Zhe from the Medicine King Sect had already arrived there before them.
A group of people were at the foot of the fishing village by the East China Sea, and when Ji Chen saw Huo Qingxin suddenly appear, his heart suddenly understood, knowing that she was still relieved to ask Wen in the end.
This time, Wen Zhe also brought a lot of manpower to find Wen Xun's whereabouts together.
At this moment, their movements quickly attracted the attention of the local county lord.
The local county lord heard that an important elder in the Medicine King Sect was missing, so he also sent some people from the county to help Wen Zhe and his party find someone together.
Wen Zhe did not tell the county lord who the missing person was, after all, Wen Xun's identity was special, and if the news of his disappearance was known, it would inevitably cause an uproar in the rivers and lakes.
It's just that right now, after Wen Zhe and the others came to the East China Sea, they have already inquired in the fishing village nearby, and someone has seen Wen Xun appear near here, and they have also determined that Wen Xun did go to sea with the sunken fishing boat before.
Now, except for the vast sea in front of him, there is no news about Wen Xun.
When Ji Chen and Feng Yang rushed to the East China Sea two days ago, they immediately rented a fishing boat and went out to sea under the leadership of a local fisherman.
They went to sea this time and sailed far away, but they didn't find Wen Xun's whereabouts, but they unintentionally found the rare medicinal materials that Xiao Banping asked Wen Xun to come to find.
The intricate fishing village in the East China Sea was panicked because of the arrival of Ji Chen, Wenzhe and others, as well as many searches for days.
Huo Qingxin and Wen Linglong were not idle, and went out to look for them every day.
This fishing village in the East China Sea is located on the land by the sea, and there are countless fishing villages around the coast, which does take some time to find from village to village.
And because of the proximity to the sea, every day when the sun sets, every house in the village is closed and does not leave the house.
Therefore, this radius of dozens of miles, before nightfall, has fallen into a dead silence, like an empty city.
This also made Wen Zhe and his party look for Wen Xun's whereabouts, and became very passive.
In this East China Sea, there has been a legend since ancient times.
Legend has it that if anyone wanders outside after nightfall, they will be swept away by the ghosts and gods of the sea.
Therefore, the fishermen in this neighborhood have been deeply influenced by this legend since ancient times, and no one dares to walk around the village at will after dark.
What's more, some time ago, someone saw Wen Xun haunting the village after the sun went down.
A few days later, Wen Xun had an accident when he went to sea, which undoubtedly confirmed the truth of this legend.
But such rumors, how could Wen Zhe, Ji Chen, and even Huo Qingxin believe it.
It's just that as the days go by, the longer he stays in the East China Sea Fishing Village, the more disappointed Huo Qingxin's expectations become.
They searched almost all the large and small households in the vicinity, hundreds of households, and dozens of villages, but they found no trace of Wen Xun.
In the end, Huo Qingxin had to think about the worst, perhaps, Wen Xun had really sunk to the bottom of the sea together with the fishing boat in that storm.
Wen Xun, I'm afraid I'll never come back...
Just as the search team was getting discouraged, finally, in the last village they had found, a message came.
Wen inquired, I found it...
While fishing on the shore, a body washed ashore by the sea was found.
The clothes on the body, as well as the things that are worn with him, all show the owner of the body, which is Wen Xun.
When Huo Qingxin arrived at the fishing village, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
At this time, the last rays of the sunset, shining on the shore, fall on the wet sand, and also fall on ... On the shore was a corpse covered with a white canvas.
Huo Qing looked at the person who was covered with a white cloth and lay motionless, his mind was in chaos, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
When Wen Linglong, who came later, saw this scene, she couldn't accept it and fainted directly.
Ji Chen and Wen Zhe, who were already waiting there on the side, both had heavy faces and frowned.
Although Huo Qingxin was trembling involuntarily, his face was surprisingly calm.
Slowly walked towards the corpse, even if this was Wen Xun's corpse, she would not believe it until she saw it with her own eyes!
When Ji Chen saw her walking over, he also hurriedly walked over.
He knew that Huo Qingxin was pretending to be calm, when her hand was about to touch the white cloth.
Ji Chen took the first step, first held her very cold hand, and spoke.
"Don't look at it, the body has been soaked in seawater for several days, it's be... Unrecognizable. ”
He was afraid that Huo Qingxin would not be able to bear it if he saw it.
Huo Qingxin's eyes had been staring at the person covered with a white cloth on the ground, and he secretly clenched his fists.
He replied lightly, "I don't believe it, he just left, unless I saw it with my own eyes!" ”
Even if in front of her, the shoes on the feet of the lying person and the white robe embroidered with a cloud-like pattern on the lower body were all Wen Xun's clothes, but she still didn't believe it!
When Ji Chen heard her say this, he also felt that the trembling hand in his hand was secretly exerting himself.
He knew that if he didn't let Huo Qingxin see it with her own eyes, she wouldn't give up.
Raising his eyes and looking at the few people standing around, at this moment, Wen Zhe was nodding slightly to him, and motioned for Huo Qingxin to take a look.
Only then did Ji Chen let go of the hand he was holding...
Huo Qingxin, who had regained his freedom, faced his unrestrained hands now, but he didn't dare to lift the white cloth.
After some hesitation, she forced herself to finally reach out.
trembling to the white cloth, and then slowly lifted, as soon as I saw the white cloth gradually exposed, messy hair, and then flesh and blood, has been unrecognizable face...
What had been suppressed in Huo Qing's heart, after seeing that face, she suddenly couldn't control it, she covered her mouth and ran to the side and vomited violently.
In the days she has been here, she has not eaten much because she is worried about Wen Xun.
So the things that are spit out are all sour water, and there is nothing to spit out at all.
Ji Chen, who was on the side, followed distressedly, patted her on the back, and followed.
At this time, Huo Qingxin's tears had already come out, and he couldn't stop trembling.
Ji Chen knew that she would be difficult to accept for a while, but he didn't believe that this corpse was Wen Xun.
Although he had a grudge against Wen Xun and was jealous of the relationship between him and Huo Qingxin, he didn't want Wen Xun to die anyway.
At this time, the person who vomited and convulsed all over his body muttered to himself.
"It's not him ... Impossible... It's not him ... It's not him ... ”
Listening to these words, Ji Chen had to say ruthlessly while his heart ached.
"When we arrived, we found not only the wind on this corpse, but also this...
As he spoke, Ji Chen took out something from his sleeve.
Huo Qingxin heard the prestige, and after seeing that thing, the eyes that were already moist and red were like beads with broken threads, and tears slowly flowed down.
That was a few years ago, and she had embroidered half of Wen Xun's purse.
At that time, she didn't know how to be a female red at all, and the embroidery was very rough, but the purse hadn't had time to embroider yet, and so many things happened later.
He took the thing in Ji Chen's hand in a daze, and his tears were still flowing.
Even if she saw everything and heard everything just now, she still didn't want to believe it, but at this moment, after seeing this purse, even if there were thousands of people in her heart who didn't want to admit it, she couldn't change the truth of the facts.
Wen Xun is really no longer there, in order to find medicine for her, he came here in person, followed the fishermen out to sea, and buried his life in this way.
After all, he died for her...
Pulling her aching chest, Huo Qingxin slowly stood up and staggered to walk back, but as soon as she took two steps, a fishy sweetness erupted from her mouth.
Then, Huo Qingxin passed out straight to death.
Ji Chen, who was behind him, saw it, and hurriedly rushed up and caught the fallen person, but then, his eyes couldn't help but become stunned!
Not only him, but even Wen Zhe on the side, as well as all the people at the scene, were horrified, watching the changes in the person who was held in Ji Chen's arms.
I saw that Huo Qingxin's hair gradually turned white from the top of his head!
In less than a few minutes, Huo Qingxin's black hair turned white.
Who sees such a change without being horrified and shocked.
Is this what it is called, a white head overnight?!
Ji Chen didn't expect that Huo Qingxin's feelings for Wen Xun were so deep!
This trip to the East China Sea, once again, has changed the fate of many people.
Ji Chen took Huo Qingxin to prepare to return to Yangzhou and go to find Xiao Banping, while Wen Zhe returned to Gusu with the body of Wen Xun, who was unrecognizable and had already been exhausted.
After waking up, Wen Linglong also washed her face with tears all day long, and followed Wen Zhe back to the Medicine King Sect.
Wen inquired about the news of his death, but Wen Zhe didn't tell the world, for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
After returning to Yangzhou with Huo Qingxin, Ji Chen found that Xiao Banping had already left the place where they lived.
Ji Chen had to stay and take care of Huo Qingxin, who was silent all day long.
And Feng Yang and Li Yong, who returned to Gusu and did everything well, were also sent by Wen Zhe to protect and take care of Huo Qingxin.
They were all worried that Huo Qingxin would not be able to withstand this blow and that something would happen again.
After all, Wen Xun's greatest wish is that Huo Qingxin can live safely and soundly.
Ji Chen refined the medicinal materials he found from the East China Sea into medicine according to the recipe that Xiao Banping had explained before, and gave it to Huo Qingxin.
However, Huo Qingxin seemed to have lost the consciousness of living, and refused to take the newly refined new medicine.
No matter how Ji Chen comforted and persuaded her, she was just indifferent.
Seeing that her body was getting weaker and weaker, at this time, Wen Linglong, who had been sad for several days, came back from Gusu.
Seeing the person lying on the bed at this moment, his face was as white as paper, his head was full of white hair, and he was weak and wheezing, Wen Linglong was heartbroken at the same time, and at the same time, she blamed Huo Qingxin for not caring for her body like this.
Holding back the grief in her heart, she pretended to be angry.
"How can you be worthy of him if you don't eat or drink like this, and you refuse to take medicine!"
The person lying on the bed just opened a pair of blank eyes slightly, and did not react at all.
At this time, Wen Linglong continued.
"He is looking for medicine for you, and he went to the East China Sea! The way you look now, how can you bear the medicine he bought in exchange for his life, and how can you be so cruel! ”
Finally, hearing this, Huo Qingxin's long eyelashes flickered slightly.
At this time, in the house, Ji Chen, Fengyang, and Li Yong were all watching from the sidelines, and no one spoke.
While everyone was sad that Wen Xun left, they were feeling distressed for Huo Qingxin.
In fact, Wen Linglong was specially invited back by Ji Chen to the Medicine King Sect.
No matter how much they think about Huo Qingxin, they are all a group of big men, and at this time, there may be only one person who can empathize with her and be able to persuade her.
And this person is only Wen Linglong!
