Chapter 96: Nightmare (11)
Ma Duxue caught up with Zhang Dali and asked to go together, saying that it was because the horse staff drove Zhang Dali away, and she fell out with her father, so she ran away from home in a fit of anger.
However, Zhang Dali didn't think so, he had other thoughts, and directly rejected Ma Duxue's request. However, Ma Duxue still did not give up and followed him for a long time. It's just that Zhang Dali ignored her along the way, and finally drove her away.
Ma Duxue ran away from home for the first time, Zhang Dali was reluctant to go with her, and she had nowhere to go, so she had the cheekiness to return to Mafu.
After hearing this, the horse clerk patted the head of the bed and scolded, "This Zhang Dali is really not a thing, and I let you come back alone at night, and I am not afraid that something will happen to you." ”
"Daddy, don't talk about it. He may have been so ruthless because he was afraid that he would not be worthy of me. Ma Duxue stopped crying, wiped her tears and explained to Zhang Dali.
"Baby girl, don't cry. Tired, right? Why don't you take an early break? The horseman asked with concern.
"Hmm......" Ma Duxue nodded in a choked voice.
The night is getting darker and colder, the north wind is blowing louder and louder, and slowly the sky is snowing, and the rain is getting bigger and bigger like goose feathers.
Ma Duxue sat alone in front of the window, with a brazier next to her to keep warm. She looked at the heavy snow outside the window through the window, worried about Zhang Dali.
On the other side, Zhang Dali struggled forward against the goose feathers and heavy snow. Suddenly he stopped, and in front of him was a desolate clearing, even though it was covered in snow, everything here was so familiar.
There was a land temple that had been abandoned for many years in the vicinity, and Zhang Dali walked in, the roof of the land temple was in tatters, and heavy snow drifted in through the hole. He found a clean place to hide from the snow, spread straw and make a fire, and slept all night. Early the next morning, he left.
The whole land was covered with heavy snow overnight, and the white and silver covered in a picturesque place. Zhang Dali walked out on the snow, and he would make a "creak" with every step he took...... The sound of ...... creaking.
Zhang Dali stopped in one place, and when he looked back, only his footprints were left on the white snow.
There was a raised mound of earth in front of me covered with snow, which looked like a white steamed bun. Zhang Dali "plopped" and knelt on the ground, kowtowing three times in a row. After kowtowing, he knelt down and climbed to the stake in front of the mound, and stretched out his hand to sweep away the snow that covered the stake. I saw the words "Tomb of Yang Xiaojuan, the mother of Yang Yuan's father", written on the wooden stake, and this tombstone was written by someone he later found.
Zhang Dali took out a few fruits from his salute and placed them in front of the tombstone, lit incense and kowtowed a few more times. By this time, his eyes were full of tears.
"Father, mother, in three days it will be your sacrifice day, and then I will kill the horse crew and avenge you." Zhang Dali sprinkled paper money and sighed.
"But......" Zhang Dali choked up, and after he scattered the last of the paper money, he lay down on the grave by the snow and continued, "Miss Ma, she is a kind person, and she is not like his father. She doesn't look at me coldly because of my appearance, and she seems to be in love with me. And I'm ...... I fell in love with ...... too."
That night, the reason why Zhang Dali treated Ma Duxue like that was because he knew that even if Ma Duxue did not dislike his ugliness and humble status and was willing to run away from home for him, he still couldn't let go of revenge, which made him face Ma Duxue.
Zhang Dali leaned on the grave and talked to his parents for a long time, but no matter what he said and asked, no one answered.
Three days later, it snowed heavily outside, and the horseman stood outside the study, looking at the snow scene in the night, and felt a sense of déjà vu inexplicably.
Suddenly, the horseman heard someone shouting, "It's on fire...... It's on fire......", he followed the sound and saw that it was already in flames. He was about to go and see what was going on, but he was pulled from behind.
"Are you...... Zhang Dali? The horseman looked back at the visitor and asked uncertainly.
The man shook his head, took off the hat from his head and said, "Have you forgotten this face?" ”
"This ...... Aren't you Zhang Dali? How did you get back? The horseman asked, puzzled.
"Do you take a closer look? I owe you this face. The man raised his voice and shouted.
After approaching, the horse member looked at it carefully, and said affirmatively, "You are Zhang Dali, I have seen your face before." ”
"Huh...... It seems that you are really a noble person who forgets things. The visitor said with a sneer.
"Why are you here now? Is it for the money? The horseman asked contemptuously.
"Money? Is money so important in your eyes? Have you never done anything in your life that you regret? The visitor asked sharply.
"Regrets? The only thing I regret is letting you in, and causing Twilight to be like this. The horseman replied in the same voice.
"If you think about it carefully, what hurtful things did you do today last year." The visitor glared angrily at the horseman and said, that look was like a vicious wolf that could tear the horseman apart at any time.
"You...... You...... You are Yang Wei. The horseman staggered back a few steps and exclaimed.
"Looks like you're finally remembering." Yang Wei (Zhang Dali) said with a wicked smile.
"You...... What do you want to do? The horseman asked scaredly.
"Last year today, you killed my parents, and today I will take your life to avenge them." Yang Wei pulled out the big knife from his back, pointed the tip of the knife at the horseman, and said sharply.
"It's been almost half a year since you came to my Ma Mansion, why are you only here to take revenge now?" The horseman asked in horror.
"Wait until you get to the Netherworld and see my parents before asking." After Yang Wei finished speaking, he raised his knife and slashed down.
The horseman took refuge in time, and the broadsword only cut through his clothes. Seeing this, he quickly turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, "Someone, help?" ”
But no matter how much the horsemen shouted, no one came, and in a panic he ran back to his bedroom. After running into the bedroom, he immediately locked the doors and windows, leaning against the wall and panting.
The horseman looked through the window and did not see anyone outside. He was a little relieved, sat down and poured a cup of tea.
Tick Knock ...... Tick Knock ......
Outside the horseman, it was obvious that something red was dripping into the cup, and the originally transparent boiled water inexplicably turned red. Probably because of the panic just now, he found that the table was full of bright red blood.
The rider closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked up. When he opened his eyes, he saw four people hanging from the beams, and the horseman was so frightened that he fell from the stool to the ground.
Although their flesh and blood were blurred, the horsemen still recognized who they were. They were the same people who set fire to Yang Wei's parents last year, and Yang Wei infiltrated Mafu under the alias Zhang Dali to find them.
"What do you really want? I'll give you money, I'll give you all the money, please let me go. The horseman looked out the window at the figure that suddenly appeared, and pleaded as he stepped back.
"What if you're rich? Will that get my parents' lives back? Zhang Dali kicked open the door with all his might, walked in and said?
