Ke Zhixi couldn't see the road, so he sat in a carriage with Chu Cheng and Su Yu.

Su Yu is small, looking at Ke Zhixi who is always trembling and afraid, along the way, he didn't even say a few words to Chu Cheng.

Chu Cheng was deeply bored, stared at Ke Zhixi, who was sloppy in front of him, and opened the conversation.

"Uncle Ke, when you were blind, why did you remember to open a coffin shop? This is not an easy task to polish the coffin. ”

Ke Zhixi listened to the crisp and pleasant voice, and thought that it was the county lady who was traveling with him.

He lowered his head a little embarrassed: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, I'm afraid I'll scare you like this." This cover-up action made Chu Cheng ashamed.

Chu Cheng's voice softened: "The world is full of people, Uncle Ke doesn't have to be inferior." Although you can't see with your eyes, you can make a coffin and paper man, and I can't learn those things if you teach me! ”

Her words made Ke Zhixi stunned.

Ke Zhixi said: "Madam is smart, this kind of work must be learned." It's just too shoddy, so it's better not to learn. ”

Chu Cheng bowed slightly: "Just listen to Uncle Ke." ”

After the conversation, Ke Zhixi let go a lot, he raised his head and said to Chu Cheng: "Actually, I used to just do white things, and I couldn't be a coffin paper man or anything...... After I became blind and my life was struggling, an old friend used to find a relationship and took me to the coffin shop to work, and over time, I learned by myself. Not only to make coffins, but also to make paper people, white flags, and shrouds...... I bought the wax paper money or something from somewhere else, and I really don't know that. ”

Chu Cheng asked, "What about the previous owner of the coffin shop?" ”

Ke Zhixi replied: "The boss died of illness the year before last, and the coffin shop was taken down by me, and I couldn't make much money, so I couldn't make a living." ”

Chu Cheng glanced at Su Yu beside her, she coughed, and asked, "Uncle Ke, in fact, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”

"It's okay, you ask."

"You and Li Zhongyi back then...... Really have a great relationship? ”

Ke Zhixi was speechless for a moment.

He took a long breath and sighed, "Okay, it's great." He and I have been neighbors for many years, and we have similar interests, whether it is drinking or gambling, we can play together. When my mother died of illness, Li Zhongyi guarded me every step of the way, for fear that I would worry about what would happen...... Later, he said, 'Old Ke, if you die, I will raise your father and your brother for you.' Thinking of this, Ke Zhixi lowered his head gloomily, "Now my father and my brother are sick and dying, and I am the only one left to survive in the world." ”

The sincere promise between brothers has now become a phantom.

Ke Zhixi felt something, and couldn't help but say: "Madam, I, Ke Zhixi, have no culture in my life, and I haven't studied for a few days. The only poem I can memorize is what Li Zhongyi taught me back then, guess what? ”

Chu Cheng shook his head.

She remembered that Ke Zhixi couldn't see it, so she hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's not 'bright moonlight in front of the bed'?" ”

Ke Zhixi's pale face showed an intriguing smile: "It's a green mountain where bones can be buried, and he is sad when it rains at night." and Jun Shishi are brothers, and they are married to the future life. ”

"This is Su Xian's "Two Songs in Prison" written by Su Xian to his brother, with a neck couplet and a tail couplet." Chu Cheng said subconsciously.

Ke Zhixi was slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect Madame to even have such a remote poem. ”

Chu Cheng smiled and said: "Su Xian's poems are known to everyone. ”

"Madame is modest."

Ke Zhixi sighed: "I didn't know what this poem meant at the time, and I specially found a Xiucai to help write it down and explain it." Later, when I found out what it meant, I thought, I'm afraid that the friendship between me and Li Zhongyi is the same...... But now that I think about it, I just feel ironic. ”

He had a sneering smile on his face, and his two dark eye sockets looked particularly eerie.

Chu Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Ke, what kind of poisonous insect can make you blind?" ”

Ke Zhixi's body trembled slightly: "It is a poisonous insect near Tongchuan, which is day and night, and it is rarely seen in ordinary times." But that day, I just ran into ...... Later, the eye disease was so severe that it couldn't be cured, and if it wasn't dug out, it would rot on the face and people would die, so I hired a doctor with an iron spoon...... Hard-to-pull it out. It hurts, it hurts...... It hurts to think about it now. ”

Chu Cheng and Su Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, she hurriedly said, "Don't think about the past." ”

The carriage sparkled, traveling to the suburbs of Qingyuan County, the weather became more and more stuffy, the dark clouds were heavy, the heat on the ground was mixed with the strong wind, mixed with the fishy dry soil, like cold and hot.

But Yang La really couldn't sit still, he stopped the carriage, rubbed his buttocks and got down, and said to Gu Jingtong and Chu Cheng and the others: "Take a break for a while, it's really a sore back." ”

Su Yu naturally understood that it was not easy to drive, and said, "Yang Zhutou, why don't you let me drive later?" ”

Yang La waved his hand again and again: "How can you let a child come, go and sit down." ”

Chu Shen touched Su Yu's head: "Rest if you can, it's not good to be too tired at a young age." ”

Su Yu wanted to say something more, but Ke Zhixi on the side was stunned: "You can drive a carriage at such a young age?" Chu Cheng explained, Ke Zhixi sighed and said: "Then it is indeed necessary to find out his life experience quickly, life is already unsatisfactory, how can he continue to fall into the quagmire." ”

Chu Cheng glanced at Ke Zhixi and felt that although he looked terrifying, he had a good heart, no wonder Li Zhongyi was willing to befriend him.

She led Su Yu to get out of the car and move her muscles.

The place looks very desolate, with a mountain wall on the left and a large dense forest on the right. I don't know why, Chu Cheng always feels familiar here.

Su Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Madam, one mile further forward is the Pingshan that Lord Lin took you to that day, this place has many and very large forests, and it stands to reason that it also belongs to the scope of Pingshan." ”

"Pingshan?" Chu Hui's face changed, "Isn't it that mass grave?" ”

Su Yu sighed "hmm" and didn't answer.

Ink clouds darkened half of the sky, trees danced wildly in the wind, and the weather changed.

Gu Jingtong took a sip of water and hung the kettle on his horse: "Let's go, this day looks at the twilight and is heavy, I'm afraid it's going to rain." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of lightning struck a bright light, and the heavens and the earth were white. The lightning was followed by a rumbling thunder that seemed to roll overhead, and then it exploded violently and deafeningly.

Su Yu trembled in fright.

It was too late, but it was too fast, and the carriage and horses were frightened by the thunder, raised their front legs and raised their heads and neighed, trying in vain to break free from the reins, and galloped forward like a lightning speed.

"Ke Zhixi is still in the carriage!"

Chu Cheng was shocked.

There was an exclamation from the carriage, and Gu Jingtong told Chu Hui: "Follow Yang La and wait here, don't run around!" Then he flew on his horse and took two other officials to save Ke Zhixi.

As soon as Gu Jingtong walked on his front foot, large pieces of raindrops crackled and fell, falling on the muddy ground, splashing clouds of dust.

Yang La covered her head with a sidecar and wiped the rain on her face: "Madam, quickly find a place to hide." ”

Chu Cheng raised her sleeves to protect Su Yu, and saw a big tree in the forest not far away: "Go under the tree!" ”

The three of them ran under the tree together, and Chu Cheng saw the other horse walking in a panic in the rainstorm, and she couldn't bear it, so she turned around and ran back to lead the horse. As soon as she took the reins of the horse, she heard a scream of "ah" behind her.

Yang La shouted: "Stop-"

Through the torrential rain, but seeing a crazy woman with a shawl and a shovel taking Su Yu away, Su Yu struggled, but it was completely useless. The mad old woman was obviously very familiar with this terrain, and despite the torrential rain and muddy potholes on the ground, she ran extremely fast, and in a few blinks, she shook off Yang La.

Chu Cheng was horrified, that crazy old woman was obviously the one she met last time!

The madman had no form, he almost killed Lin Boqin, and now he has taken Su Yu hostage...... Human life is at stake, Chu Cheng can't take care of it at this time, so she turns over and gets on her horse to chase after her.

The mad old woman burrowed into the depths of the dense forest, and she was very nimble.

The eyes of the people hit by the rainstorm could not be opened, the horses' vision was blocked, and the four hooves accidentally tripped over the dead branches that fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Chu Cheng's kung fu was excellent, she supported the ground with her right hand, and she rolled a few laps in the muddy water, and a harrier turned over and continued to chase the crazy old woman.

Yang La, who was far behind, rubbed his eyes, probably because he had seen the flowers......

The crazy old woman didn't expect Chu Yu to chase after her, she let out a "lotus" roar in her throat, clamped Su Yu under her armpit, and strangled her tighter. Su Yu struggled desperately, and broke her arm with his hand, but it was like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and he cried: "Let go of me!" Let me go! ”

Chu Cheng saw that the figure of Yang La behind her was almost invisible, and there was no one around, she wiped the rain in front of her, her toes were a little, her body shook slightly, and she stepped on the trunk of the tree twice, and went up and down a few times in the treetops, and her body was like an arrow from the string, and she arrived in an instant.

The crazy old woman felt that her eyes were sparkling, and she was stopped in her way.

"Let go of him!"

Su Yu didn't expect Chu Ji to chase after him so quickly, he hurriedly shouted: "Madame, save me!" ”

The crazy old woman took Su Yu two steps back, and the shovel in her hand was raised.

In that way, I don't know if I want to shoot Chu Yu to death, or I want to shoot Su Yu to death.

Chu Cheng naturally didn't allow her to hurt people indiscriminately, so Su Yu closed her eyes, immediately pulled out of her body, stepped forward and slapped the crazy old woman's armpit with her left hand, but the crazy old woman was in pain but still didn't let go.

Chu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, ordinary people couldn't stand this kind of pain at all, but they didn't expect this crazy old woman's willpower to be so strong. She had no choice but to go around behind the crazy old woman, and when the crazy woman saw her go around to the back, she turned around and was about to slap her with a shovel, but she couldn't compare to Chu Hui's movements, and before she turned around, she was slashed by Chu Cheng on her right shoulder with a hand knife. This time it was extremely painful, the crazy old woman raised her head and screamed, let go of Su Yu, Chu Cheng's eyes were quick, her right arm was fished out, and Su Yu was steadily fished into her arms.

In the rainstorm, Chu Yu held Su Yu in one hand and stood straight.

The crazy old woman also seemed to know that the person in front of her was not easy to mess with, she covered the sore spot, "Hehe" screamed twice, turned around and ran.

It seems that there is not a rock under her feet, and the mad old woman is tripped over, as is the rag shoe on her left foot. But instead of picking it up, she dragged her body and fled into the dense forest.

The rain was raging, the ashes were blank, and the woods became particularly blurred in the rain. But in such a vague situation, Chu Hui's gaze just fell on the foot of the crazy old woman's shoes.

Her eyes tightened, and she shouted, "Stop!" ”
