Zhong Liying looked at Sima Hongyan in surprise and said, "Miss Sima is right, someone poisoned our whole family. Later, I learned that my family had been hit by the colorless and odorless 'Gong Swallowing San', which caused their whole body to be sore, so they had no power to fight back, so they were slaughtered. ”

Shi Jinyan said: "How does Miss Zhongli know what kind of 'devouring gongsan' is in your family? As soon as the words came out, Zhong Li Ying was displeased, and Shi Jinyan hurriedly explained: "Miss Zhongli, don't misunderstand, I don't doubt your words. I was thinking that such a strange poison was not easy to find, and I was just curious that the girl was so young that she could find such an important clue. ”

Zhong Liying sneered and said, "Since the poet girl has already guessed the answer, why do you want to ask knowingly? ”

Sima Hongyan said at this time: "Not bad! It must be recorded in the Book of Heterocysts. ”

was broken by Sima Hongyan, and Shi Jinyan smiled silently.

Zhong Liying secretly pondered: "This Sima Hongyan is straightforward, and he doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks. Even this Ban Lingruo is also bold and straightforward, what do you have to say. Only this poet seems to be gentle and elegant, but the city government is the deepest of the three. ”

Zhong Liying continued: "I did find out the 'Swallowing Gong San' from the Book of Strange Bags, and the symptoms of my family's poisoning back then were the same as those recorded in the book. After this poison poisons people, there is no abnormality on the surface, and only when people use their strength, they will feel weak all over, especially for those who know martial arts, and the damage is even more serious. The book said that it was as if someone had taken all the bones out of his body, and he couldn't stand. ”

Ban Lingruo said angrily: "There are still such vicious drugs in the world, which is really harmful. ”

Zhong Liying said: "The only drawback of this poison is that it does not stay in the human body for a long time, only about two or three hours, and once the time passes, the medicinal properties will automatically dissipate. But just a few hours are enough for my family to suffer this catastrophe. Speaking of the tragic death of her family, Zhong Liying couldn't help but shed tears.

Ban Lingruo also felt sad, took out his handkerchief, and stuffed it into Zhong Liying's hand.

Zhong Liying nodded in gratitude, and continued: "My brother, who was two years older than me, was young at the time, and we didn't know what was going on at home. It was my mother who hid us in the secret room of the study to escape this catastrophe. Later, we hid until the next day, and when someone found out that something had happened to my house, my brother and sister escaped through the back window in a panic. My brother was afraid that those people would not let us brother and sister go, so he changed his name and surname with me, pretended to be a beggar, and fled to Yanling. ”

Sima Hongyan suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Just killing the whole family for a book, this kind of vicious person really shouldn't let them live in this world!" ”

Unexpectedly, his life experience would cause Sima Hongyan to be so emotional, and Zhong Liying was slightly surprised.

Sima Hongyan glanced at her and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, in fact, my father also died in vain. I'm still trying to find out how to find the murderer! ”

Hearing that Sima Hongyan had the same misery as himself, Zhong Liying suddenly felt like he was connected to his fate. couldn't help but say: "Then Miss Sima must have been very bitter all these years?" ”

Sima Hongyan was silent, and after a while he nodded slightly.

Zhong Liying was reluctant to use Ban Lingruo's clean handkerchief, so he only wiped it on his face with the back of his hand, and said, "But fortunately, after arriving in Yanling, my brother and I came to Tianling Mountain." The mountains and forests here are dense, the local products are abundant, and the mountain is the territory of the Xiao Ling Sword Sect of the Yanling Jianghu faction, we think that such an enemy should not dare to come here to make trouble, so we settled here. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "This is a good way for you. It's really not easy to be found hiding here, and if we hadn't stumbled into it by mistake this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have thought that this place would be inhabited for the rest of our lives. ”

Zhong Liying said: "Yes, we thought the same way at the time. However, as soon as we arrived at Tianling Mountain eight years ago, the people of the Xiao Ling Sword Sect had already discovered us. Because I don't know where my brother and sister come from, the Xiao Ling Sword Sect also monitored us for a long time at that time. Later, they may have seen that we were young and had never done anything excessive, and then they stopped sending people to keep an eye on us. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Then what have you brothers and sisters lived on for so many years?" ”

Zhong Liying said: "At first, we hunted some small beasts in the mountains and picked some fruits for a living. Later, my brother hunted too much, and often had some leftovers, so my brother secretly went down the mountain once a month to sell some animal skins and meat in exchange for some food and clothing. ”

Shi Jinyan said at this time: "It seems that the Mo family can find you, but your brother was overheard after coming down the mountain. ”

Sima Hongyan also said: "That's right! It is estimated that the Mo family has been looking for you for a day or two. Even I suspect that among the people who harmed your whole family back then, someone from the Mo family was among them! ”

Zhong Liying stood up with a face full of resentment, but he didn't expect his suspicions to be consistent with what Sima Hongyan said.

Sima Hongyan patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, after today's incident, I just think that the Mo family is very suspicious, but I can't be completely sure, there will be a chance to investigate slowly in the future." ”

Zhong Liying sat down again, and asked Sima Hongyan uneasily, "You just think they are very suspicious?" Just because they can find me? ”

Sima Hongyan shook his head and said, "That's not true. The main reason I suspect them is because they are going to kill you today. ”

Ban Ling didn't understand the mystery and asked, "They want to kill Miss Zhongli because they are afraid that Miss Zhongli will leak their despicable deeds, sister, how can you think that they may be those people in black?" ”

Sima Hongyan didn't answer and asked, "Little sister, you fought with that Mo Qiufeng today, what do you think of his martial arts?" ”

Ban Lingruo recalled and said, "The martial arts are extremely high! If it weren't for the Ninth Prince joining forces with me, it is estimated that I would not have been able to pass thirty moves in his hands! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "That's right! Coupled with that Li Jiuniang and that Mo Shao, if you don't mind Miss Zhongli, if the three of them join forces, I'm afraid it will be no effort to capture your brothers and sisters alive. But why did he disagree with each other, so he suddenly attacked the killer and harmed Zhong Likang? And when they didn't get what they wanted, they didn't think about killing Miss Zhongli? ”

Shi Jinyan continued: "Are they afraid that Miss Zhongli will find out that the murderer of her family has come to them for revenge?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "This can only be guessed!" Another point, Mo Qiufeng's body was poisonous, but the dart he injured Zhongli girl was non-poisonous, which showed that Mo Qiufeng didn't want to kill Zhongli girl. But Mo Shao is different, not only did he sneak attack and kill Zhong Likang, but he stabbed Zhong Li's girl from the back of the heart I can see clearly, it is by no means an obstruction, but a killer. That's why I was forced to stop him from behind a tree. Therefore, I think Mo Shao's eagerness to take Miss Zhongli's life is not quite logical. ”

Zhong Liying asked extremely puzzled, "What does this mean?" One wants to kill me, and the other doesn't? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "It is the two diametrically opposed practices of these two people, so I have a guess!" Mo Qiufeng doesn't kill you because he wants to get what he wants from you. And Mo Shao wants to kill you, but he wants to keep some secrets. As for what the secret is, I can't think of any other reason than the fact that I hurt your family. Perhaps, this Mo Shao is the man in black who once participated in it! ”

Although Sima Hongyan's conjecture is bold, it is also reasonable. Shi Jinyan didn't expect this, and couldn't help but secretly praise Sima Hongyan's insight.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Zhong Liying said: "It's okay now, but Miss Sima, the reminder you gave me today is very crucial, thank you so much!" If I get revenge for your help in the future, I am willing to repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse. ”

Sima Hongyan said with a smile: "Miss Zhongli said this, I didn't help you anything, it's just a matter of facts, and it will depend on you for revenge in the future." ”

Zhong Liying nodded, although Sima Hongyan said lightly, Zhong Liying's gratitude to her in her heart was sincere.

Sima Hongyan said again: "Miss Zhongli, you were only ten years old when you left home, and you have lived in Tianling Mountain for eight years, and it seems that you have not worked hard in the past eight years. Today I saw that you fought against Na Mo Shao, and you didn't fall behind at all, you want to take revenge, and if you practice hard, he will definitely not be your opponent in the future. I think the breakthrough of your family feud can try to start with this Mo Shao. ”
