Chapter 22: Surprise III (20 votes plus more)
"Who is it?" As soon as my question came out, a person's name came up: "Master Lei?" β
Shi Gong nodded slightly.
"How could it be......" I sat down slowly and poured myself a large sip of the tea I had poured for my master.
The tea was a little hot, and I was sweating slightly on my forehead.
At first glance, it seems plausible that the owner of Lei Zhuang's family was poisoned, and in a fit of rage, he went to kill the in-laws of the suspected enemy.
But you don't have to think about it to know that something is wrong, even I can touch the taste, will an old Jianghu like Lei Zhuang not understand? What's more, if you come up and don't ask to understand, you will kill if you do it-
"Could it be that you and Uncle Yan guessed wrong?"
No, I'll deny it myself. Shigong is a person, he can't say it if he is not completely sure, Yan San'er is so experienced in the rivers and lakes, both of them think that it is the owner of Lei Zhuang, it must be him.
"Someone can tell you if we're wrong."
Shigong turned his head to the door: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?" β
I didn't notice when the people came outside the door.
The man outside whispered, "It's abrupt, please forgive Senior Ji." β
As soon as the door opened, I stood up.
Shigong glanced at me: "I can't hold my breath so much, sit down." β
I...... I was just surprised.
The person who came was embarrassed, and his body was splashed with blood, and it turned out to be Yao Zhengyan.
"Please come in."
There were only two stools in the room, and I gave him my one, and he looked at me, pale and bloodless, and whispered, "Thank you, girl." β
How did this person keep up with us all the way? I lowered my eyes and poured my teaβyes, he must have not gone far near the Old Hejia Inn, and maybe he was hiding in the frightened and chaotic crowd. How conspicuous it was when a few of us entered the inn, it was not surprising that he could follow.
I poured tea for him, and although he was injured and embarrassed, he was polite. Stand up and take it.
Shigong only glanced at him and said, "You also practiced illusion?" β
Hey? Isn't this man a family of poisoners? How did you get involved with us?
"Naturally, I can't hide it from my predecessors. It's just one or two life-saving moves, if it weren't for that, my seniors would only be able to see my corpse in the inn today. β
"You just got outside the door, how much did you hear?"
"A few words."
"I can't interfere with the grievances between you and the Lei family, if you can find it here, the owner of the Lei Village will naturally be able to find it. Your life is still unstable. β
"May I ask my seniors, are all the people in Leijiazhuang really poisoned by Gu and killed?"
Shigong glanced at him: "Among the heads of several major families, only your Yao family is good at Gu poison." You are guilty of this crime. Lei Zhuang mainly pursues you, and others will never find out who he is not from. β
Yao Zhengyan was silent. But this person's cultivation skills are really good, and others don't want to see anything from his face.
"Senior, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this thing is not the Gu poison of our Yao family, how can I kill the people of Lei Jiazhuang!"
Master Gong glanced at me. I wanted to stay and listen to what they had to say, but I could only withdraw under the authority of my master.
I wanted to retreat to the courtyard and listen to what the master said. But when the door was about to close, Shigong said, "You go and accompany Lei Fang." β
I reluctantly answered.
The courtyard was dark and quiet, and the window of Lei Fang's house was still lit.
Yes, Lei Fang is not comfortable alone now.
But my heart is also messed up.
Good. Today I finally know one more thing. It turned out that after I died in my last life, I was buried not far from Leijiazhuang, but unfortunately I came and went so much, but I didn't know until now. And...... The place where I was born and raised is also there.
Why are the two booklets I copied myself in Leijiazhuang? Is it just because of the proximity to the water or something?
The sentence that Shi Gong said inadvertently during the day. Lord Lei had a holiday with me back then? What kind of festival is it? What can be remembered by the master must not be a small holiday, maybe, what kind of life and death grievances. The booklet of illusion in the Lei family village is really rare. If it's me. Never keep the things of your enemies in your home.
I walked across the courtyard and tapped on the door twice.
"Lei Fang. It's me. Did you sleep? β
Lei Fang's voice was hoarse: "You come in." β
The door was just closed, and Lei Fang sat at the head of the bed, clutching her sword tightly in her hand.
"Haven't slept yet?"
She shook her head and said a little sluggishly, "I can't sleep...... As soon as I closed my eyes, it was all blood, and there was ...... Their faces ......"
I slowly walked to the bed, saw that Lei Fang was not wary of me, twisted the hand towel to wipe her face, and helped her take off her shoes. She had dried blood on the soles of her shoes, and I thought of mine as well.
It's just that people can't take care of it now, so how can they have the heart to take care of shoes.
She was in a daze, and I leaned next to her to accompany her in a daze, and the two of them thought about their own thoughts.
"Xiao Sheng."
"Huh?"
"Do you remember, before the people of the Yao family came, we fell asleep together......"
"Naturally, I remember."
"I saw in a dream that the person surnamed Yao was bullying my sister, so I beat him, and later, we met your master Bai Wan......" I was still pondering Lei Fang's intention in saying this, but she continued: "I want to go into the dream again to see." β
I was a little surprised: "What are you looking at?" β
"I don't know, I always feel that what we see and know in our dreams seems to have some deep meaning. Maybe I can see my grandfather in my dreams and ask him what the hell is going on, maybe I can meet my sister and ask her where she is now......"
I was embarrassed for a moment: "You know, I'm not pushing you, but my dream technique is only half a bottle of vinegar, and there is a great risk, in case I don't get it right......"
"I can trust you, wasn't it okay last time. Moreover, Senior Ji is also here, and with him, nothing will happen. β
Lei Fang seemed to grasp this matter as a life-saving straw, I hesitated, but I also wanted to get more clues about the past, last time I dreamed that Shigong Yan San'er still had a master, I don't know who I will meet this time? Will you meet that Lei Zhuang owner? I thought about it and thought about it, and finally nodded.
"Good...... But wait until I think of a way. β
I folded the teacup on the table, took a cotton thread and held it, and put the candle in a different position, and the candle burned for a while, and the cotton thread would burn, tearing down the teacup, and then the jingle would surely wake us up from the dream, so that we would not be lost in the dream, and it would be difficult to wake up.
Lei Fang watched me toss and turn until we lay down together, and she still held her sword tightly, as if this would bring it into a dream.
My body was extremely tired, and I silently recited the mantra in my heart, only to feel that everything around me was gradually moving away, and the light, sound, and temperature were ...... It's all gone.
A voice next to him said, "Where is this?" β
I turned my head, and Lei Fang stood beside me with a blank expression, which is not surprising, I was originally dreaming with her. She glanced at me and suddenly understood, "Are we in a dream?" β
"yes, I just don't know, it's yours or mine."
