The black-robed man is unpredictable, and every time he finds a clue, he drops the chain at a critical moment. The only thing I learned from this trip to the woods was the murals found in the tree hole, and the connection between it and Shezhen Cave and Li Village. And these were exchanged for Zhu Hongyuan and Yu Fei who were almost poisoned to death, and they were obtained by ignoring themselves every day.

Long Yang's heart was full of mixed feelings, full of indescribable emotions, and he felt so tired. Not only physical fatigue and fatigue, but also mental tiredness.

Long Yang lost his father at the age of five, and he was still too young to understand why his mother cried and fainted. After that, he became sensible, and he said that he was the only man in the family.

At the age of eight, he apprenticed to learn art, and with Jin Shan, a seemingly crazy person, Longyang learned to be self-reliant and self-reliant. At the same time, he also learned a lot of knowledge and skills from Jin Shan, and he was full of confidence that he would find his father's whereabouts with his own ability.

At the age of eleven, his mother and stepfather left him for no reason, and he became a lonely man, a lonely man, a man worse than an orphan.

If it was really an orphan, Long Yang would die of that heart. But there is hope, but it is thousands of miles away from him, far away.

Long Yang believed that his parents and stepfather were not dead, and they should not be able to meet him for special reasons, Long Yang confirmed and convinced. He worked hard, struggled, and never stopped for his goal.

Knowing the murder of the patriarch Jin Ren, Long Yang was hit harder. Jin Ren is the only person he has left, and his death has undoubtedly left a heavy mark on Long Yang's heart.

Long Yang has been working hard for this, from finding out the reason for the disappearance of his parents to the series of changes in Jin Village, he has never stopped. He has always been sure that he will be able to solve all these mysteries, find his parents, and avenge Jin Village.

But at this time, he had some doubts about his ability, some wavered his confidence, and some doubts about his own approach.

The bowl on the table was filled with wine, and it was as calm as water. It is like knowing the mind of someone who drinks it, and it does not dare to be alarmed, even if it adds a trace of disturbance.

The round windows rarely let in the early winter sunlight, and the faces of the people in the house shine obliquely, driving away the haze in the house.

Since Zhu Hongyuan came here, Long Yang didn't say much, just stunned. Zhu Hongyuan didn't bother Long Yang, but waited quietly.

Winter is coming, it's a little cold, you should drink some wine to warm up.

"Brother, take a bite!" Zhu Hongyuan picked up the wine bowl and, as usual, faced his brother, who was much younger than himself. Invite with wine, with words to words, with affection for friendship.

"Hmm!" Long Yang agreed, but his hand did not pick up the wine glass. He picked up a plate of vinegar and drank it from the saucer.

"Longyang!" Zhu Hongyuan shouted, but Long Yang had already drunk all the vinegar in the dish and didn't notice it. I have never seen Long Yang so unguarded and absent-minded, Zhu Hongyuan is worried.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

What's wrong? These three words Long Yang has said countless times, but he has not waited for the answer every day, he doesn't know what's wrong, who can know what's wrong?

What happened to the parents?

What happened to my stepfather?

What happened to the patriarch?

What happened to Jin Village?

What the hell is wrong with me?

"Ahh ~" Long Yang suddenly hugged his head and shouted loudly.

"Longyang! Longyang! Zhu Hongyuan immediately got up and came to Long Yang's side, grabbed his hand, and held it in his own hand.

Eighteen years old, five years of rare happiness, thirteen years of painful experience, full of questions and confusion, after frustration and danger, Long Yang could not control his feelings, pouring out the bitterness in his heart.

Silent tears flowed, Long Yang did not control his emotions, and vented to his heart's content in front of his eldest brother.

"With me here, everyone is here, don't worry!" Zhu Hongyuan comforted Long Yang.

"I'm fine." Long Yang stopped his tears, and the time was shorter than Zhu Hongyuan imagined.

Zhu Hongyuan knew why Long Yang suddenly burst out of his emotions, but he couldn't understand Long Yang's harvest so quickly. In just a short moment, Long Yang stopped his tears and returned to his original state.

In fact, Long Yang had to be like this, there was always danger around him, and he didn't allow himself to be so indulgent. There is pain, there is time to vent, but only for a while, for a while. He can't let his guard down, he can't ignore danger, he can't ignore the people around him. Therefore, he can only suffer for a short time, and he can only have someone he believes in present.

"It looks like I'm going to call you brother, you're better than me." Zhu Hongyuan can be regarded as understanding Longyang, this brother is not ordinary people, he is really stronger than himself, and he is much stronger than himself in controlling his emotions.

"Drink!" Long Yang finally picked up the bowl and was bored by himself.

Zhu Hongyuan actually had something to ask Long Yang, but he held back and never mentioned it. He just accompanied Long Yang, bowl by bowl of dry wine, poured it after drinking, and poured it again after drinking.

"Brother Zhu, I know you came to comfort me, thank you!" Long Yang seemed to be drunk, and his face was flushed.

"It's just that I drank too much, you should be fine!" Zhu Hongyuan pointed to Long Yang's face and said with a smile.

"I'm not drunk." Long Yang smiled, looked at Zhu Hongyuan opposite, and smiled sincerely and happily.

"Then I'll give up my life to accompany Yoko!" Zhu Hongyuan hugged the wine jar and poured it into his mouth.

The wine jar was taken down by Long Yang, and the spirits in the jar almost shook out. A pungent smell of wine emitted more violently as the wine shook, so that the small room could no longer hide its smell.

"I also know you have something to ask me." Long Yang put down the wine jar and said to Zhu Hongyuan seriously.

"There's something, but I don't ask." Zhu Hongyuan's wine was already seven or eight points, but he was very sober and didn't talk nonsense.

"You don't ask, but I'm going to say. You came for three things: one was that I met the stele and the stronghold in the woods; the second is a daily thing; The third is Li Yang's matter. ”

When he heard Long Yang list three things separately, Zhu Hongyuan suddenly stopped talking, and he was silent. Long Yang saw that he was not because of the first two things, but because of Li Yang.

"Say it!" Zhu Hongyuan sighed deeply, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.

Seeing Zhu Hongyuan light a cigarette, Long Yang suddenly realized that Zhu Hongyuan had rarely smoked before, and he had only seen it a few times. It seems that it was before a major action, or when there was great confusion, that he involuntarily lit a cigarette.

"Don't ask about the stele, it's that kind of situation, I don't think you want to get in touch with it." Long Yang glanced at Zhu Hongyuan after speaking, and saw that he didn't react, so he continued.

"What I encountered in the woods was a tree hole, and there was a very important clue in it, related to my hometown. I don't want to say more, and you'd better not ask. After Long Yang finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Hongyuan again, and found that he didn't say anything, so he continued again.

"In order to save you and Yu Fei, I was poisoned by the same poison as you, and I inadvertently extracted Tiantian's soul and brought it into my blood realm. Later, he brought her back. As for why she is like this, I don't know. "Speaking of every day, Long Yang is a little weak-hearted. Because he couldn't defend himself at all, he couldn't give a reasonable answer, so he had to tell the truth and reimburse him.

"As for Li Yang, I feel a little unusual." Long Yang saw that Zhu Hongyuan had been smoking, and did not intervene and complain about himself, so he continued to talk about Li Yang's situation.

"What's unusual?" Zhu Hongyuan finally accosted him.

"It stands to reason that the place where Yu Fei was poisoned is not far from the stronghold of the black-robed man, as long as he goes forward, he will pass through that place, why does he say that he is lost. Also, he was a little nervous when he answered my question, and seemed to be hiding something. Although Li Yang is Zhu Hongyuan's apprentice, Long Yang does not taboo these, he truthfully says his thoughts according to his own observations and thoughts.

"Well, what else?" Zhu Hongyuan did not express his opinion, and continued to ask Long Yang.

"Also, since he has already lost his way, how could he find the place where you were poisoned so accurately, instead of looking for Yu Fei?" Long Yang once again threw out a question.

"I didn't know that you had already found the stronghold of the black-robed man, so I don't know what happened next. But I was skeptical, as I could tell from what he said in the office. After all, I am his master, I know him, he was not such a muddy person before, unless there is a hidden secret. ”

"Also, when I was poisoned, he gave up on me and moved on. If it weren't for my careful eyes, it would have been impossible to put it in the past. Zhu Hongyuan continued.

"I also put you where you were and continued to walk?!" Zhu Hongyuan's reason didn't make sense, and Long Yang raised objections.

"If you don't understand the situation, you will inevitably have such questions. You don't know Li Yang's personality, according to his style of life and work, he will never put his comrades in danger, not to mention that the person who was poisoned is me? Actually, you should be aware of my initial thoughts. ”

"I perceive?"

"Yes. Do you remember I asked you something? ”

"What's the matter?"

"I asked you what to do with Li Yang? You say let him stay there and keep an eye on what's going on in the west? ”

"Oh, I remember." Long Yang remembered that in order to deal with the sudden attack of the black-robed man, he deliberately left Xiao Li in the group of beggars in the east, and this matter was still approved by him.

"But after the merchant left us, the west has become dangerous and abnormal, why didn't Li Yang inform us in advance?" Zhu Hongyuan continued to take a cigarette and took a puff as he spoke. He was not drunk, and there was a glint of wisdom in his eyes.

"After we came to the Zheng Mansion, why didn't he give warning, and why was he late when we were fighting?"

"This?" Long Yang was really scratching his head, he didn't notice these abnormal situations, and he didn't suspect his own people. What's more, that person is Li Yang, and he is Zhu Hongyuan's apprentice!

"Do you doubt Li Yang?" Long Yang couldn't help but ask.

"I don't have proof, but his behavior is really suspicious."

"These alone are not enough to confirm that Li Yang is an internal ghost, do you have any other suspicions?"

"You said the word inner ghost, it seems that you have a judgment."

Not only did Long Yang not want to believe it, but Zhu Hongyuan didn't want to believe that Li Yang was his apprentice, but there were too many abnormal things, and he had to face the reality.
