After a long time, the spring cold gradually receded, and soon it was Qingming, first a little bit, and then gradually dripping, and the rain just kept falling.

It was still raining today, but under the willow tree, there was still a man holding an oil-paper umbrella waiting there. Su Lingshi got up very early today, every year during the Qingming Festival, she has to go up the mountain to worship, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are also parents, in her heart, those two amiable faces are parents. Unlike previous years, there is an extra bouquet of flowers and some melons and fruits in front of the half-father's grave. She knew that Ling had come. So, after she had finished her prayers, she waited under the willow tree again.

The dilapidated town originally had a name, called Dongning, which was taken from the meaning of Hongding Boning in the East China Sea.

The sea god returned to the east through the evil wind, and the waves hit the stone wall of Tianmen open.

She is very familiar with the sound of rain here, the spring rain is continuous, to the autumn rain, from a child to a girl, how long will it take to listen to it? But she always never gets tired of listening to it, like Yinling, Su Lingshi likes everything here, flowers and trees, blue sea and blue sky, even if it is a broken wall, she and Yinling can play for a long time.

Of course, she didn't wait for Yinling, but a strange guy suddenly appeared in front of her, who didn't hold an umbrella, and was tall and didn't like to talk, grinning over there, only to hear him whisper: No.

I was disappointed. But after only a moment's effort, the man made a gesture and said respectfully: "Girl, Xiaosheng passed by the treasure land, but his family is poor and can't afford to buy an umbrella, girl, can you let me in and hide from the rain?"

Before Su Lingshi could answer, the man said to himself, "Thank you." The tall figure was suddenly as agile as a monkey, and he got under his umbrella. Su Lingshi said secretly: What a disciple. Just wanted to attack, there was a thunder in the sky, and the rain became a little irritable, pouring like a lot, much bigger, and I couldn't bear it, so I had to say: "Childe is polite." ”

The guy was tall, a head taller than Su Lingshi, Su Lingshi's hand holding the umbrella was not high, the guy had to bow his head short, and after a while, the man said: "Girl, I'm tired of holding an umbrella, why don't I hold an umbrella for you?" ”

Su Lingshi said coldly: "No need. ”

The man had already snatched it, and instead of holding an umbrella, he shook her hand and left, and the man smiled sheepishly: "It's so soft." No, Xiaosheng's hands are shaking, no offense. ”

Su Lingshi hurriedly retracted his hand and scolded, "Shameless disciple!" After speaking, he walked away without looking back. I heard the sound of squirming footsteps again, and a voice came: "How is it, Xiaoxiao, but Sister Yin?"

Su Lingshi's heart sank, stopped, and said secretly: Sister Yin, there is only one family surnamed Yin in this dilapidated town, and there is only Ling'er except for the deceased father-in-law.

Then the voice of the hateful disciple rang out, and he was heard, "It's not true. ”

Mao Qingwei said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao's light skills are so good, and it took almost half an hour for me and Long Yu to fall behind. ”

Long Yu said: "Your reconnaissance disc found a beautiful woman, and he is so good at light work." It's been so long, you haven't noticed it, this guy is an animal that thinks in the lower body, as long as there are beautiful women, the emperor is not suitable for him. Okay, it's not Sister Yin, let's continue to hurry, don't delay the trip, in the past two days, my right eyelid has been jumping, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen, and it is likely to be related to Sister Yin. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao smiled: "Wait, I'll return something." ”

Then Su Lingshi saw a nymphomaniac-like face again, and ran over strangely, the man held the umbrella on Su Lingshi, and said, "Girl, I am so offended, I hope you don't take it to heart." The surname is Chen, Erdong Chen, Chen Xiaoxiao, the dawn of the morning, we are destined to meet again. ”

Su Lingshi said, "Wait." ”

Chen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and said with a lewd smile: "Girl, don't be anxious, I'll come here to find you again at the third watch tonight." Now my two brothers are watching here, and I can't let go. Of course, if you can let it go, I don't have a problem. Why are you staring at me? Didn't you want me to wait?"

Su Lingshi wanted to scold the past, but it was about Yinling, so she had to suppress her anger and said, "What is the name of Sister Yin that person just said?"

When Chen Xiaoxiao heard this, his brain was running rapidly, and it was really stupid to preface another beauty in front of a beautiful woman, he only sighed and said: "Yinhua! The silver flower of honeysuckle is our good friend, but the name is very vulgar, and the person is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the girl." "Hehe, the happiness is all compared, I said that she is not as good as one ten-thousandth of you, you are not happy to die? Chen Xiaoxiao is crazy and obscene.

Su Lingshi said secretly: Ling'er is wandering outside, it is possible not to use her real name, but it is really nonsense to say that her beauty is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of mine. Presumably, what they were looking for was not Ling'er. Thinking about it like this, he only held the umbrella and walked away without looking back.

Chen Xiaoxiao shouted: "Girl, tonight, at the third watch, don't forget, I'm waiting for you under this tree." ”

Su Lingshi ignored him, and walked away without looking back.

Su Lingshi returned to her home, since Yinling left for the first time, she opened a hotel, brewing wine and cooking, it was her unique job, but it was difficult for everyone in the town to protect themselves, who would go to her to eat here? However, the villagers in this township can't let the little girl starve to death, every once in a while, there are always some people who come to buy wine and eat, and with some snacks, Su Lingshi will not be unable to live.

Su Lingshi sighed for no reason, all these years, everyone has been very tired, right? It doesn't matter, bear with it a little longer, as long as Ling'er delivers the money, those people will naturally leave. Su Lingshi shook his head again, a terrible thought always lingered, what if those people didn't keep their promises? Ling'er's ten years of suffering, the ten years of suffering of the people of Dongning Town, wouldn't it be in vain? No, she tried her best to comfort herself, she would definitely not, they would definitely keep their promises, she comforted herself wordlessly.

Suddenly, the front door of the restaurant at the door was pushed open, and she greeted it with a smile, only to find that there were more than a dozen completely unfamiliar faces. The first person said: "Boss, serve some good wine and food, more than a dozen men are waiting to eat." ”

Su Lingshi shouted at the top of his voice, "Okay, wait a moment." With that, he first set about moving the table, putting together the four square tables into one, beckoning the people to sit down, and then walked to the back kitchen.

It's definitely not from Dongning Town, it's been more than half a month since the last time the general came, and in the past half a month, no outsiders have stepped into this Dongning Town, what are they doing here? Su Lingshi couldn't help but be vigilant.

She made about fifteen dishes, mostly vegetarian dishes, and only three meat dishes, and she went to the cellar to move a few jars of wine for those people to eat and drink. The first person said: "It's really a good craft, Yinling didn't lie to me." ”

Su Lingshi chuckled in his heart and said, "Childe knows Yinling?"

The man said: "Don't just know, I still want to ask her to be my wife, the bride price of 100,000 taels has been given, but the person has run away, do you think I'm in a hurry?"

Su Lingshi said: "Ling'er took 100,000 from Gongzi?"

The man said, "I don't take it, I'm willing to give it." I am a ranger of the Linjiang Immortal Ranger Troupe, my name is Qin Yun, these are my brothers, I heard Yinling say, she has a sister in Dongning Town, not to mention the beauty of the person, and the cooking skills are even better. ”

Su Lingshi naturally knew what Yinling wanted money for, it must be close to home, and there was still a shortage of silver, those people said that if it was 10 million taels, it would have to be 10 million taels, and it would not be enough to have a penny! She got straight to the point and said: "Ling'er is not here." Su Lingshi naturally knew that the other party was coming, and he wanted someone to come.

The man's face was slightly unwilling, and he asked, "Has she ever been back?"

Su Lingshi nodded. The man said, "Then do you know where she went? Don't worry, I have no ill will towards her, and if she is reluctant to marry me, I will not force it, but I can't rest assured that she will say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

Su Lingshi saw that his eyes were sincere, not like deliberately pretentious, and said: "In the western suburbs of Dongning Town, there is a Zhuangzi, I only know that Ling'er went there a few days ago, and as for whether she is still there now, I dare not guarantee it." It was so dangerous that no one dared to go except Ling'er. So, even though I knew she was there at first, I didn't dare look for her. ”

The man smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

More than a dozen people were full of wine and food, leaving a hundred taels of silver to leave, Su Lingshi saw so much silver for the first time in his life, and he was a little at a loss for a while, seeing those people walking away, Su Lingshi said: "Gongzi really wants to go to Zhuangzi in the western suburbs? ”

The leader stopped and turned his head and said, "Don't worry, our brothers are also licking blood on the blade, although the empire still doesn't pay attention to us, but we have also made a lot of trouble." ”

Su Lingshi suddenly had a strange thought, why? Why do you want to compromise with those people? They said that 10 million is 10 million? 10 million, you can afford to invite many big people, right? If you spend all this money to invite the masters outside, can't you drive them away? The empire doesn't care about us, there will always be a ranger with a sense of justice! Alas, I'm a dead brain, why didn't I think of it the day Ling'er came back?

A day later, Su Lingshi dispelled this thought.

The Linjiang Immortal Ranger Troupe, thirteen people, all hung on the stone stele workshop at the gate of Dongning Town, and none of them survived. Disgustingly, none of their corpses were complete, or missing arms, or legs, and some even the entire lower half of their bodies were gone, as if they had been severely bitten by wild beasts.

The old man Cui, who was already in the old days, said to the residents who were watching the excitement with a strange expression: "Hurry up and take it, these days, don't walk around." They are addicted, and we can't say we're going to suffer too. Alas, they usually don't come to town, and everyone is safe, but every time something happens, it's a big deal, and this is another thirteen lives. ”

Su Lingshi said: "Grandpa Cui, what do you mean by them?"

Old man Cui said: "Who else can there be? Guys from the western suburbs! Five years ago, there was also a group of people who came to Dongning Town by chance, saying that they wanted to get rid of them, and they died worse than these people in front of them! Alas, I don't know what happened to Xiao Yinling. ”

Old man Cui urged again: "You young people, take more shoulders, dispose of the corpses of these people, and go home early, don't go out these days, especially at night." Wait for the limelight to pass. ”

People who like to watch the excitement don't like to watch the bloody excitement at all, and in an instant, only a few brave young people are left to clean up the scene.

Su Lingshi also dispersed, feeling uneasy in her heart, Ling, these days when you are away, you face such a group of people every day? She really can't rest assured, at the end of the day, she has no intention of doing anything, and she closed the store early, the hotel door is hidden, and the light is dim, shining on the face of a woman who is holding a wine jar and drinking.

After drinking a jar of wine in a panic, he felt a lot more courageous, and when the sun almost set, Su Lingshi changed his clothes and walked to the western suburbs.

Dusk, dusk came for a long time, there was a faint color glow in the west, the glow was very beautiful, the sun was still golden, the golden sunshine, the light red color glow, shining on the way to the western suburbs. There are trees on the road, tall trees, and flowers, all kinds of flowers, yellow, white, purple, all kinds of different colors, different varieties of flowers compete with each other, there is also a lake on the road, a huge lake, the lake is very quiet, the lake water is very clear, occasionally a few blisters appear, that is the breath of the fish at the bottom of the water, the lake surface occasionally has a few ripples, that is the leaves fall on the surface of the lake.

Heaven and earth are filled with intoxicating aromas.

Su Lingshi had hardly been to the western suburbs, she never expected that there would be such a wonderful scenery in the western suburbs, but Yinling's life and death were uncertain, even if she was still alive, what kind of torture was she suffering?

It wasn't until the sun had completely set and the afterglow of the setting sun was gone, that Su Lingshi saw a huge Zhuangzi in front of him, and the Zhuangzi suddenly lit up and lit a candle at once. Su Lingshi didn't know where to sneak in, so he had to crawl on the ground, slowly approaching inch by inch.

Suddenly, I heard a human voice: "Those people were really stupid last night, the eldest sister stabbed them with her own hands, and even said some stupid things, why do you want to marry the eldest sister?" Are you stupid?"

The other person said: "Yes, they have been bitten like this by several Venerables, and they even said that they would take Yinling away. But then again, those thirteen people are also considered men, and they bite like that, and they don't beg for mercy. ”

Su Lingshi said secretly: Thirteen people, it must be Linjiang Immortal, there are three people, who is the eldest sister? Who is the Venerable? Su Lingshi was far away, she didn't listen carefully, the sentence "marry the eldest sister" was even more vague, she immediately held her breath, didn't dare to pant loudly, and didn't dare to continue to climb forward, for fear of being discovered by those two people.

One said: "After the great general came before, most of the Venerables left, leaving only five Venerables, and they thought that our Zhuangzi defense was empty, that is, they did not know the power of the Venerables. ”

Another said: "That's, especially the Wolf Venerable, who is fierce and unsurpassed." However, it's very good for us, in the past, when the Lion King Venerable was still there, we were not allowed to go to the town to harass, but now the Lion King is gone, and the Wolf Venerable is in charge, but I promised the brothers, the town can eat whatever you want, people can kill at will, girl, hehe, grab it casually. It's just that after the eldest sister came, the Wolf Venerable seemed to change his words again, and the matter was put aside. Damn, that woman didn't know where she came from, and as soon as she came back, she became our eldest sister, and ruined the good things of the brothers!"

The other immediately silenced: "You don't want to die? Is the status of the eldest sister's head a casual statement? Only under His Holiness." I've heard that the eldest sister brought back a full 10 million taels of gold and 10 million taels, have you ever seen it? The lion king is still waiting for the money to start an incident! The wolf venerable is only temporarily in power, and he can't befriend the old lion king, so he has to keep the money to invite merit! But the eldest sister is also shrewd, and only gave 2 million taels, saying that after the rest is done, she will be able to see it. ”

Another person said: "Hmph, it's always bad for us!"

Su Lingshi was almost sure that the eldest sister in their mouth was Yinling, so she didn't care if Yinling joined them or not, and whether Yinling was making a careful plan, for her, it was enough to know that Yinling was safe.

She was overjoyed, so she crawled back, but she didn't want to die, and her feet seemed to be suddenly wrapped around something, she subconsciously thought it was a snake, so she subconsciously screamed.

When the two people who were keeping vigil at the gate of Zhuangzi heard this, they shouted, "Who?"

Su Lingshi gasped, remembering the tragic death of the thirteen people of Linjiang Immortal, where did he care if it was a snake or a vine at his feet, he stood up and ran away. But she doesn't know how to work hard, she is a really weak woman, how can she outrun two sturdy men, only ran out for less than half a mile, Su Lingshi was pressed under the two of them, and she couldn't move.

One of them said: "Hey, woman! I just said that the eldest sister has suffered our brother, and God will compensate us for one! Xiao Guo, you are still a boy*? Don't worry, I will eat meat and guarantee that you will have soup to drink." After speaking, he was going to tear Su Lingshi's clothes.

Su Lingshi shouted: "I am the elder sister of your eldest sister, if you dare to touch me, she will definitely not let you go!"

That Xiao Guo immediately pulled the man and said, "In case, it's really a big ......"

The man also hesitated slightly, and said: "Yes and no, just ask the eldest sister to find out! Hmph, if not, I guarantee that you will die even worse!"

Su Lingshi shuddered, what if it wasn't Yinling, wouldn't he be in danger?

It's dangerous!

Su Lingshi grew so big, she had almost never been so scared, and it was only a quarter of an hour to be dragged away by the two, but she felt that several years had passed, or even longer.

The beautiful moonlight, which is as black as ink, is like a cruel and ruthless executioner.

The relentless wind, the relentless blowing, stirred with the tense nerves that Su Lingshi was about to break.

A voice rang out, a familiar voice rang out, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief!

It was Yinling's voice.

Su Lingshi looked up, and then the moonlight, still saw that beautiful face.

The wind was still blowing, but it seemed to be getting a little warmer, and it wasn't cold on the face at all, but a little warm. Su Lingshi shouted: "Ling! Fortunately, you're fine, I can't rest assured, so I'll come and take a look." ”

Yinling's hand slowly stretched out, and suddenly a cold, cold voice sounded: "Yinling, I heard that she is your sister?"

Yinling's outstretched hand suddenly accelerated, only to hear the sound of "snap", Yinling actually slapped Su Lingshi's face, and then Yinling also said coldly: "I don't know her." ”

Su Lingshi's heart sank to the bottom of the lake all of a sudden, and she shouted hoarsely: "Ling, it's me! Lingshi, it's me!"

Yinling slapped him again. The cold, lifeless voice from before sounded again, "That's good, then I'll leave it to you." ”

Yinling took out a golden needle and said, "Venerable, rest assured, I will dispose of it properly." Then the golden needle in his hand swam away, and Su Lingshi's shout gradually became quieter, turning into a terrible shout, and the two people who were on vigil could hardly listen to it or watch it. Su Lingshi's tendons and tendons were actually singled out.

Yinling took out a bottle of medicine from her arms and said, "This medicine melts when it encounters blood, and it will slowly corrode your body until your whole body is completely corroded, and there are no bones left." ”

There was another hoarse shout.

Yinling said: "Throw it out, even if this outsider dies, he can't die in Zhuangzi, so as not to stain the eyes of His Holiness." Of course, whatever you want to do is up to you. The meaning couldn't be clearer, Su Lingshi didn't scream anymore, as if he had fainted in pain. Compared to the pain in the body, the inner struggle is even more incomprehensible.

Where would those two dare to have other ideas! Who knows if the medicine will corrode and spread to themselves?

Su Lingshi was hastily thrown out, and the two returned to the gate of Zhuangzi to keep vigil.

The night, the dark and heavy night, suddenly became a little more bloody.
