"What is this? What the is this? On that rainy day, Cai Qianqing stood in front of the Li family ancestral hall and asked his high-spirited father, "Master Li!" Master of the Li family! You tell me, what is this? You tell me! Where did the demon come from? You tell me! Where did the devil come from? ”

"Rebel! Unfilial! The old man of the Li family stepped forward and shook Cai Qianqing a few times, and ordered him to kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall to admit his mistake.

Cai Qianqing gritted her teeth and continued to argue loudly.

It was raining heavily that day, thundering was fierce, and the day turned dark because of the dark clouds that covered the sky.

Cai Qianqing was pressed by the four family members and knelt in front of the ancestral hall until he fainted, after which his father announced that he had lost his qualification as the heir of the Li family.

After the weather cleared, the villagers forgot the tragedy that had just happened and continued to live their chaotic days, and the remaining property of the Xia family was distributed to the villagers by the Li family according to the original plan, and the villagers shouted that the Li family was righteous and merciful, and it would prosper forever.

Cai Qianqing watched from afar, standing under the tree that hanged the old lady of the Xia family, and said sadly: "Since the Xia family has demons, and since the Xia family has brought disaster, why are you still so happy to take away the things of the Xia family?" Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? ”

They are not afraid, because man does not perish for his own sake.

It was also on that day that Cai Qianqing made a decision, he was going to go out, walk around, see the outside world, and most importantly, he must go to Shanghai.

Then Cai Qianqing disappeared, and after a year and a half of disappearance, he returned to his hometown.

Cai Qianqing stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the road monument with the words "Li's hometown" written on it.

Finally changed its name, but the villagers still can't easily get rid of their verbal habits, often calling themselves Xia Li Township, and outsiders can't change it, even if the road monument has changed, the Xia family is gone, and the Li family is prosperous, they still say when they ask for directions: "Excuse me, how to go to Xia Li Township?" ”

What an irony for the frog at the bottom of the well and the blind.

But at this time, Cai Qianqing had no hatred in his heart, and he only had one thing when he came back, that is, to return his name and surname.

"On that day, the master of the Li family took the whole family to wait in the ancestral hall, and I still clearly remember that the villagers also stood outside, pointing at me, and saying bad words to me, saying that I was a disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous person." Cai Qianqing said this, but he chuckled lowly, "How ridiculous, a group of demons, a group of murderers accuse an innocent person, is this the so-called law not to blame the public?" Or is it moral decay? Or am I really a demon? ”

Shen Qingmeng was silent, just looked at Cai Qianqing.

Cai Qianqing got up: "If I become a demon and can change something because of this, then I'd rather be." ”

After that, Cai Qianqing walked out of the house, stopped, turned around and saluted: "Miss Shen, thank you, because I met you, Cai did not turn that precious past into a fictional story." ”

After Cai Qianqing finished speaking, she said again: "Thank you!" ”

Shen Qingmeng got up: "Mr. is polite." ”

"I'm leaving." Cai Qianqing turned to leave, "Miss Shen stays." ”

Cai Qianqing left, Shen Qingmeng stepped out of the osmanthus house, stood at the door, and watched him open the courtyard door and leave slowly.

"Sir, walk slowly." Shen Qingmeng said slowly after the courtyard door was closed.

Just as Shen Qingmeng turned around and was about to enter the house, she saw something out of the corner of her eye, and she turned around sharply and looked at the osmanthus trees in the courtyard.

Shen Qingmeng was stunned, because the osmanthus blossomed.

I don't know why, the moment I saw the blooming osmanthus flowers, Shen Qingmeng's tears welled up.

It turns out that there really is such a person in the world who will be looking for you no matter what happens.

Even if what he was looking for was just another person who was similar to himself.

However, the osmanthus blossomed, and everything was enough.

After waking up again, Tang Anshu opened his eyes and asked Benzoin: "Have I gone crazy?" ”

Benzoin hurriedly shook her head: "No, don't worry." ”

Tang Anshu breathed a sigh of relief, only then looked around and asked, "Where are we?" ”

"In the hole." Benzoin smiled bitterly, "Just get up and take a look." ”

Tang Anshu propped up his body, got up and saw a sandy beach, and looked up to see a well-like heavenly cave above his head, the sun shone down from the cave, half of it was sprinkled on the beach, and the other half was reflected in the water.

Tang Anshu turned around again and saw that there were two cave passages behind him, but it seemed that the traces of man-made holes were very heavy, and there were still a lot of broken wooden stoves and the like left under the beach.

Tang Anshu suddenly remembered: "What about the Gu adjutants?" ”

Benzoin filled the bonfire with firewood: "I don't know, the water washed us all away, and when I woke up, I found you still unconscious." Speaking of this, Benzoin paused and whispered, "Thank you, I know you saved me, and the last thing I remember is that I was scared silly when I saw the Sea King Scorpion." ”

After speaking, Benzoin's eyes fell on her hand, because when she woke up, she found that Tang Anshu was clutching her wrist, and she also used a lot of strength to break it.

It was also at that moment that the distrust of Tang Anshu in Benzoin's heart suddenly disappeared.

"Drink some hot water." Benzoin picked up a bowl and handed it over.

Tang Anshu looked at the bowl: "You found it here?" ”

Benzoin nodded: "There are a lot of things over there, bowls, plates, jars and the like, it seems that those Ming soldiers planned to stay here for a long time when they came back then, by the way, there are still a few skeletons over there, judging from the clothes, they are similar to what we saw in the underground lake before." ”

Tang Anshu, under the guidance of benzoin, walked to the corner of the beach and looked at the bones buried in the sand.

Tang Anshu looked at it and said: "It seems that we are not far from Jinling Jian, these skeletons are wearing light armor, plus the things left here, maybe they are scouts who are exploring the way." ”

After speaking, Tang Anshu pointed to the two artificially dug caves: "You see the traces of the cave entrance, it is from the inside out, that is to say, they are carved out from the inside out, to dig this cave not only takes time, but also requires a lot of manpower, so, Jinling Jian should not be far from here, have you rested?" ”

Benzoin got up and said, "Rest." ”

Tang Anshu picked up his thousand machine bags: "Without further ado, let's go, we have to go to the Gu adjutant." ”

After Benzoin followed Tang Anshu into the cave, she stopped talking many times, and finally asked, "I'm curious, why are you doing this?" ”

Tang Anshu asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Benzoin said: "You yourself said that you have no interest in Jinling Jane, and you stepped into this trap at the beginning, just because of your master's orders, but you have already learned from Sun San that everything was designed by your master, why are you still willing to take risks?" ”

Tang Anshu replied without thinking: "If I don't take risks, who will help Sun San?" ”

Benzoin walked a few steps quickly: "You know, Sun Sanyuan didn't even let you go in his plan, and he didn't plan to let go of anyone who came to find Jinling Jian." ”

"I'm not just doing this to help Sun San." Tang Anshu said as he walked, "If I don't help him, Snake Heart Island will become a real hell, and then Yongcheng, what about after Yongcheng?" No one knows. ”

Benzoin paused, "It sounds like you're a good man, and I thought all the earthly faces were selfish bastards. ”

When Tang Anshu heard this, he felt that Benzoin seemed to be a little disgusted with the profession of earth physiognomy, but he didn't ask, but said: "What kind of person I am, I don't know what bad people will do, what good people should be like, and I don't want to study it." ”

"Research?" Benzoin couldn't help but smile, "Good people and bad people can see from the way they act, what is there to study here." ”

Tang Anshu stopped, his childhood memories trying to escape from the prison in his mind, he closed his eyes and tried to suppress it.

Benzoin sensed his strangeness and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, let's go." Tang Anshu opened his eyes and took a deep breath, "Sun San used to be a pirate, killing people and doing all kinds of evil, he is a bad person, right?" ”

Benzoin said, "Yes." ”

Tang Anshu said again: "Later, in order to protect himself, although Sun San was bewitched by my master, occupied the Snake Heart Island, and built a prison, what he did was also an evil deed, right?" ”

Benzoin said, "Of course. ”

Tang Anshu stopped: "And now Sun San, in order to atone for his sins, tried his best not to let the corpse wind be brought back to the world, and began to rebel against my master in his own way, this is a repentance, the prodigal son turned back, so, is he a good person now?" ”

Benzoin thought for a moment and replied, "Count." ”

"Count?" Tang Anshu said lightly, "Maybe we haven't been brutalized by Sun San, who was a pirate in the past, but what about those who have been brutalized by him?" Even if you know that he is doing good deeds to atone for his sins now, you won't think he is a good person, so do you think Sun San is a good person or a bad person? ”

Benzoin was silent, she really didn't know, she never thought about it.

Tang Anshu said with a smile: "Good and bad, good and bad, if it can be defined so simply, Buddhism will not have the six realms of reincarnation, because just one of the six realms confuses how many saints." ”

Benzoin decided not to continue the topic, and instead asked: "Hu Shen is your master, and now I want you to deal with him, can you do it?" ”

Tang Anshu replied: "I am doing this now, I am repaying my kindness." ”

Benzoin was puzzled: "Repay the favor? ”

Tang Anshu said: "He is my master, he rescued me from the sea of suffering, I always believe in my heart that he is by no means a great evil, so I want to understand what he has spent so many years laying such a tedious and nuanced puzzle for?" Why is he so obsessed with Ling Jian? ”

Benzoin shook her head: "I still don't understand." ”

Tang Anshu said: "If it is not me, others will never be able to understand, just like those who have a deep hatred of blood, others persuade them to let go of their obsessions, just because they can't empathize, if they have the same experience, the words of others who persuade them to be magnanimous must not be able to speak." ”

Benzoin listened to Tang Anshu and looked at his back, in fact, since Tang Anshu drank the pig lung soup she cooked, she had already looked at this place differently. Although, like Gu Feng, Sun San, and Le Zhengxian, she felt that although Tang Anshu was smiling at all times, she actually didn't trust anyone around her, but at the critical moment, he was defenseless against his allies, which could be seen from the fact that he and Qiu Gubo were just exchanging messages through messages.

Moreover, Tang Anshu seems to be fearless, desireless, and desireless.

Was he born this way, or was he through something before?
