Text Chapter 483 - Origin and Extinction (I)
"Don't frame people out of thin air."
An Yu lowered his head, his messy hair coiled on the top of his head, knotted in many lumps, and buckled the dirty mud in his nails.
Ling Muhan sat down on the straw informally, took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, and there were some things densely recorded on them, handed them to An Yu, and smiled and didn't speak.
An Yu swallowed his saliva, licked his chapped lips, and took it tremblingly with his shackled hand.
He is familiar with the handwriting on it, and for decades, the two have always mixed together, and even the few hairs under each other's armpits are very clear.
"He never thought you would do this to him."
Ling Muhan played with the ring in his hand and successfully attracted An Yu's attention.
An Yu's face was very pale, and the big tears were also low.
"I'm just taking money from people, doing things for people and eliminating disasters for others."
An Yu's words were very calm, and the head that had been lowered was buried deep between his legs at this time.
"I never thought of killing him, but I have come to this point, and it can be said that it was all killed by that woman!"
Woman? What woman?
An Yu clenched his fists, and the chains of the shackles crackled, but all the grief and anger turned into a sigh.
"I think adults may know something at this time, and I am also a dying person, so I have nothing to fear."
Ling Muhan sat up straight, knowing what he was going to say.
"Can you bring me a glass of water?"
Ling Muhan looked left and right and saw no one coming, so he reluctantly got up, swayed out and brought a basin of water.
An Yu drank the water, put down the cup, and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth.
"Ni Dasheng and I have known each other since childhood, and he and I are both fatherless and motherless, and we were thrown into the broken temple early, leaving us to fend for ourselves."
An Yu paused and continued.
"I was a few years older than him, and I also saw that he was cute, so I picked him up and fed him, at that time I was also unable to protect myself, begging for food every day to bring back and share a little with him, although the days were much harder, but at that time, I was still happy."
A smile appeared on An Yu's face.
"I went to the market one day to steal people's money and was found and chased, fortunately an old gentleman rescued me, asked us if we were willing to live a good life, we were naturally willing, so the man took us back, naΓ―ve we thought that we could live a good life, no need to eat and dew every day, but I didn't expect this to be just the beginning of the tragedy."
Thinking of this, An Yu's face was very painful.
"The old man is a habitual thief, training the children in the same room to steal in the city, and there is a task every day, if it is not completed, the few will be starved, and the more will be beaten, and the children in the same room dare not speak out! But we children live in dire straits every day, enduring hunger and verbal abuse. β
An Yu's face became more and more painful.
"I have rough skin and thick flesh, it doesn't matter if you beat me, you can bear it for me, but if you beat him, I feel very distressed, and finally one day, the old man got drunk, and came to make it difficult for us little beggars.
As if he didn't want to recall those events, An Yu's face gradually turned red, and he had long since lost his original paleness.
"The old man took him aside, stripped off all his clothes, ravaged him fiercely, and beat him all over his body, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, and while the old man was asleep at night, I stoned him to death, that was the first time I killed someone, blood splashed all over my body, I could even imagine that I was covered in blood, he was not afraid to see me like this, he wiped the blood beads on my face with his sleeve, I took him to the river and took a good bath, and then the blood stains were gone."
An Yu raised his head and looked at the roof, where a little sunlight was streaming down some crevices, and the dust in the air was flying around.
"I ran away with him to the city of Xiang, and when we escaped, a group of our children divided the money in front of the old man, which was really a huge amount of money for us children, so we settled there, went into the mountains, built a small thatched house, and lived in isolation."
An Yu's face was very satisfied, like a delicious child who had been given delicious candy.
An Yu remembered something and sighed again.
"But later, after a short time, someone suddenly burst into our house and threatened us to do things for him, and if he didn't agree, he would publish all the sins we had committed back then, and we were forced to do our lives."
Ling Muhan frowned: "Do you know what that person thinks?" β
An Yu shook his head, he didn't know, "Every time that person comes, he is wearing a mask, and he can't see clearly, but there is a strange fragrance on his body." β
Strange scent?
"And what have you done for this person?"
Ling Muhan asked again.
An Yu snorted his lips.
"Well, I'm dying, so it's okay to say it."
An Yu lowered his head and thought about it, "That is, tying up a lot of women, and killing people......"
Thinking of this, An Yu's face was very painful, and his face was wrinkled.
"But you want me to help you remember?"
Ling Muhan stood up, "That old man Wang was also killed by you!" β
He fell to the ground, his whole body trembling.
ββ¦β¦ Over the years, every time I slept in my dreams, I would dream that the people I had killed had come to ask for their lives......"
An Yu raised his head, "Please give me a good time!" Let me go see him quickly! β
Ling Muhan shook his fan, this prison was too stuffy, even if he didn't move, it was very uncomfortable to sit here.
"No hurry...... You answer me a few questions first, and I'll give you a good time. β
Ling Muhan shook his fan, "Why did you hide in the cave after killing that Ni loudly?" Also, you said that you haven't said why you want to kill Ni so loudly. β
An Yu raised his head suddenly, "Didn't the adults already know?" Why are you torturing me? β
The corners of Ling Muhan's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't speak.
An Yu's face was like ashes, and he said this with difficulty.
"I hid in that cave and wanted to dig up his body and take him back, and now that I am wanted everywhere, naturally I can't show my head, as for ...... Why did I kill ...... He...... It's because he betrayed his master early, and I originally wanted to let him live, but he wanted to kill me despite his feelings for many years, and he also missed for a while, so he ended his ......"
"Who is that woman?"
An Yu smiled bitterly: "Naturally, it is the woman next to him, he actually violated the rules for the sake of that woman, and wanted to run away, he knows how much my heart hurts!" A few years ago, he married the Ni clan in order to get rid of me, and now, he even wants to kill me for the sake of that good friend...... You say, what would you do if it were you? β
Ling Muhan sighed, "The thing in your hand was handed over by that woman, come to think of it, you are also literate, you have also seen it, I probably didn't expect him to do this to you!" β
What was written on the paper was the crime that Yu had committed over the years, the time, place, motivation, and details of the crime.
"About ...... It's retribution, I don't blame him...... I knew I was sorry to die if I did something like that to him. β
Ling Muhan patted the straw on his clothes, "You have a good rest today, and the trial will be held tomorrow, and you can also see Ni Dasheng." β
Ling Muhan stretched out his hand and brushed his hair, fixed the hairpin, and walked out, and the official on the side also came over at this time and locked the door.
Ling Muhan walked in front of Bai Qiangsheng's prison.
"It's really funny, the dignified son of the richest man in Baicheng has ended up like this!"
Ling Muhan saw the stars on Bai Qiangsheng's white clothes again, and heard that Qin Liusu kicked him hard today, so he naturally understood.
"Ke Ling, I'm afraid I won't be able to be humane in the future!"
Ling Muhan flicked his sleeves, broke a bite, and walked out of the prison door.
The sun is just right outside, the breeze is blowing, and there is no more stuffiness inside.
Ling Muhan stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones around, and yawned lazily and left.
After a while, when he arrived at the house, he told the shepherd boy not to be disturbed, and covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.
In the peach orchard, Old Madam Ling heard that Ling Muhan led people to rush into the Bai Mansion, and her heart was pinched, and when she heard that her son had returned safely, her heart was also relaxed.
"Hongxiang, do you know why your master suddenly rushed into the White Mansion with someone? And cut off the fingers of the white mountain? β
Hongxiang didn't dare to say it, for fear of stimulating Old Madam Ling, and afraid that if she didn't say it, Old Madam Ling blamed her, and she was in a dilemma for a while.
"Why are you so sluggish, why don't you tell me about it quickly!"
Hongxiang was startled by the sudden raising of the voice of the old lady Ling, and hurriedly half-squatted down.
"Back to the old lady's words, the slave maid also heard that the reason why this old man led people to rush into the White Mansion is because...... Because ......"
"What the hell is the reason for?!"
Old Madam Ling leaned against the edge of the bed and yelled.
Hongxiang was frightened.
"Because, because...... Because Liu Gongzi was arrested by this young master of Baifu......"
"What?!"
Old Madam Ling was so shocked that she almost fell out of bed, "What did you say?" The old man went to the White Mansion for that man......"
Before she finished speaking, Old Madam Ling fainted, so frightened that Hongxiang hurriedly pinched Old Madam Ling's middle and tossed for a long time, before she woke up leisurely.
Hongxiang brought over a glass of water, holding the special pill prescribed by Xu Langzhong in his hand.
"Old lady, let's finish the medicine first, and then we'll talk."
"What kind of medicine do you take, our Ling family is about to be cut off! You might as well let me die! β
Old Madam Ling was angry, and her tone was a little rushing.
Hongxiang pursed her lips aggrievedly, "Old lady, your body is your own, if you don't recuperate, how can you think of countermeasures?" β
Old Madam Ling thought about it, felt that what Hongxiang said was very reasonable, took the medicine again, took it, and lay down on the side of the bed for a while.
Looking at Hongxiang's busy figure, Old Madam Ling had a plan.
"Hongxiang, you are not too young, when you are at this age to get married, do you have any favorite people?"
Hongxiang had followed this old lady Ling for so many years, how could she not know her thoughts, lowered her head, and pretended to be shy.
"The words of the matchmaker of the parents, now, the slave's family is no longer there, the old lady is like the reborn parents of me and the shepherd boy, everything depends on the old lady's arrangement."
Old Madam Ling was very satisfied, beckoned her hand and took Hongxiang's hand, rubbing it carefully.
"Hongxiang, I also treat you as my own girl, if you get married, I will also accompany the dowry, I look at that Liu Gongzi is also very good, it looks like a strange child, if you are together, you will naturally be happy, are you willing?"
Hongxiang was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down, "The slave is naturally willing." β
She has also seen this Qin Liusu a few times, not to mention that this appearance is impeccable, it is also very good to talk about being full of talent, except for the family background is a little pale, the rest are not able to find thorns, not to mention, with the identity of her own maidservant, she is even more climbing.
Old Madam Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down to sign the red incense.
"I think, this Liu Gongzi can't stand a lot of grievances today, so let's take a look at him with supplements, which can be regarded as a contact relationship."
Hongxiang went down in response, and the smile on Old Madam Ling's face suddenly went down.
"I don't know if this person can send the letter."
Old Madam Ling muttered in her heart, and seeing that Ling Muhan didn't know what he was busy with and didn't come to see her until now, she was a little depressed in her heart, and called her subordinates to close the door, pull down the curtain and fall asleep.
