Chu Lan saw the corner of the red robe and hurriedly followed, because in the entire Qingxi Town, even women would rarely wear a big red robe, so most of the red clothes in this corner were embroidery thieves.

Chu Lan used the ape flying body method, like an ape on the eaves of Qingxi Town, leaping and moving. Always keep a five-foot distance from the big red robe in front of you. The other party's body is also very strange, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the inner treasury and steal so many jewels, and the distance between the two of them has never become smaller, but has become larger and larger.

Chu Lan was anxious, but she was helpless, so she could only watch the distance between the other party and herself getting farther and farther away.

The big red robe hunted in the air, which did not affect his speed in the slightest, and his beard was almost mixed with his messy hair, no one could have imagined that such a rough man could show off such delicate peony flowers.

The two of them left the village with its scattered houses and ran towards the wilderness in the mountains behind.

They traveled at a rapid pace for half an hour, and they could go out for dozens of miles.

Finally, the man in red stopped on a low hill in front of him, and then slowly walked towards the small raised mounds of earth of different sizes.

Seeing him stop, Chu Lan finally narrowed the distance and slowly landed here.

The man in red didn't seem to know that someone was chasing him behind him, and he turned a blind eye to Chu Lan's existence. In his eyes, there is infinite warmth, as if the prodigal son who has not returned home for a long time has finally seen his relatives.

Chu Lan didn't draw his sword, but just followed him silently, keeping a safe distance, so that even if the other party suddenly attacked, he could defend in time.

The man in red slowly walked towards a few small mounds, and gently stretched out his hand to caress them, muttering something in his mouth, as if caressing the tender cheeks of his own children.

Chu Lan looked creepy beside him, he thought that this person was a thief with strong martial arts and meticulous work, how could he talk about it, most of these mounds were other people's graves.

No, no, thinking of this, six bleeding figures appeared in front of him again, with a terrifying death and a sad look in their eyes.

He came back to his senses and counted the mounds, which were exactly six graves.

Is this a coincidence? Apparently not.

The man in red muttered a few words beside each of the mounds, and then kissed them one by one, as if to say a final goodbye.

When he had done this, he sat down slowly, and sat down on the dusty earth, leaning against a small mound, and took out a sackcloth shoe and a mass of red silk thread.

He said slowly, "Would you like to hear my story?"

Chu Lan's face was solemn, and he did not agree, nor did he deny it.

The man in red slowly spoke to himself.

"My name in the rivers and lakes is Baihuasheng, formerly known as Liu Hanlin, when I was twenty years old, I became a small kung fu, and I also had a beautiful and virtuous wife Liu, since the spring breeze is the most proud, perennial outside to make some friends in the rivers and lakes, drinking all day long, so unhappy, but the good times did not last long, I was framed because I killed the heir of a yamen executive after drinking, I was angry, and I killed the man's house overnight, but I was ambushed and buried in the fire. ”

Liu Hanlin said this, and suddenly pulled his hand on the earlobe, and a face full of beard was slowly ripped off by him.

When Chu Lan saw his true appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little like vomiting.

Because this face no longer looks like a human face, the facial features are difficult to distinguish, the whole face is like charred black charcoal, the bone stubble is exposed, and the face is full of minced flesh, but it is obviously a long time ago, and there are no abscesses.

It's like being slashed flatly, and then being scorched on a fire. The nose and mouth are all black holes, but a pair of eyes don't know how to protect them, and they are still very bright.

Liu Hanlin looked at Chu Lan's shocked look, and he didn't care, but smiled, and continued while embroidering the flower shoe with his head down

"Do you think I'm more of a dead man?"

Chu Lan nodded, "I can't imagine that you can survive such a serious injury." ”

"Yes, life is so magical, I didn't expect to survive, but I not only survived the fire, but also learned the good kung fu of embroidering the blind with a flying needle from an embroidery mother-in-law. ”

Liu Hanlin continued, "With my current appearance, I can't go back to see my wife, and then I studied the art of cross-dressing, which is why I have the name of a hundred people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Chu Lan didn't speak, not wanting to interrupt the other party, just waiting for him to continue.

"I have been wandering for more than ten years, and I have done a lot of things that are not on the table, but what I didn't know at the time was that on the day I was surrounded by fire, my wife was about to tell me the news of her pregnancy, but I waited for a long time that day, just waiting for a bad news, I died, and there were no bones left."

"I can't imagine her pain at that time, but I didn't expect that he could be so strong as a weak woman, she did not remarry, but took care of my parents alone, and raised three children. ”

Liu Hanlin said, tears dripping on the peony that was being embroidered in his hand, no one knew where the tears came from with such a distorted face, his facial features that could no longer be distinguished.

"I often came back to see them, hiding from everyone's eyes, quietly handed her some money, some rice, but I didn't expect that after she didn't have any news of me, she wanted to dig a stove, she would rather starve than take anything from others, and every time she threw what I sent out the door. ”

"I was helpless, just to see them, knowing the temper of his wife and no longer bringing something, watching the three children grow up, I was really happy from the bottom of my heart, but not long after, Qingxi Town was put into the Kasa virus, and when I arrived, their family of six had all died, I still remember that she was embroidering a flower shoe in her hand, a peony that has not been embroidered. ”

Chu Lan saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and knew that he should have finished speaking, so he asked.

"Who was the man who calculated against you back then? Do you know now?"

"More than ten years ago, the head catcher of the Yamen, the current lord of Xuanhua Mansion, An Zeyang"

"So you killed him?"

Liu Hanlin was startled, raised his head, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is he dead?"

Chu Lan tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Pretend, you'll be just." It's not that you can touch it silently."

Liu Hanlin shook his head vigorously, "It's not me, I have already let go of my resentment, it was just because I was too young and frivolous, and I was just to blame for falling into this field." ”

"Then why did you intercept the dart of the Dragon Yuan Dart Bureau?"

"Because someone told me that the dart protected by Longyuan Dart Bureau is the antidote to the Kasa virus"

"Really?"

"Fake, I haven't even touched those things!"

"Do you have accomplices?"

"No, the man who told me about it was so good that I didn't even see the corners of his clothes. ”

"Then why did you run away when you saw Fan Wenxing that day?"

"Because I'm afraid my disguise won't escape his eyes. ”

Chu Lan's face turned pale, who was good and who was bad, he couldn't tell for a while, and his mind fell into a whirlpool again.

The victim of this theft was supposed to be the lord of Xuanhua Mansion, but he was the spreader of the Kasa virus in Qingxi Town. What is done is intolerable by heaven and careless of human life

There have been more than a dozen crimes in a row, and the red-clothed thieves who embroidered dozens of blind people actually committed the crime in order to find an antidote. It is a chivalrous and good thing to save people in danger.

Liu Hanlin sighed, "It's a pity, I searched for more than a dozen places and didn't find the so-called antidote, until I heard the movement today, ran to Qingxi Town to check, and found you, I know that even if I can't find it, I can't save the villagers, there are people who can save them!"

"Who!"

"You"

While Liu Hanlin spoke, the movements in his hands were not slow at all, and he quickly embroidered the exquisite and beautiful peony flower.

Chu Lan didn't understand what he was going to do.

is just pondering, then in this case, Liu Hanlin is probably just a chess piece, and the person who he has always thought to be an accomplice of the red-clothed thief is one of the real culprits.

And there is definitely more than one person behind it, and one of them also has the identity of easily approaching An Zeyang.

His appearance is just a better scapegoat than the thief in red, so it is logical that all this things are pushed on him.

Chu Lan's eyes were shining, and he had already grasped a line, and he already had a guess in his heart about who the few people behind this were, but there was not enough evidence yet.

Liu Hanlin had finished the last stitch, he bit the red thread with his teeth, and then smiled very heartily, it was a kind of laughter that let go of all the burdens.

He said, "Little brother, my story is over."

"Where was Yang Huan tied up by you?"

"I had tied him up in a cave, but this little girl was clever and she snuck away. ”

"Why did you arrest her?"

"Because I think Yang Husheng is An Zeyang's best friend, I want to use her daughter to blackmail him into telling him the whereabouts of the antidote. ”

He continued, "Little brother, I have done a lot of evil things in my life, and now I am going to accompany my family."

Chu Lan hurriedly said, "But there are still a lot of things I don't know!"

"But I don't know much more than you."

"And"

"And what"

"I've finished embroidering this last shoe."

As soon as he finished speaking, two embroidery needles had pierced his own eyes, and the last usable organ of his face was gone.

Blood flowed out of his eyes and dripped onto the embroidered shoe in his hand, and the peony flower looked even more delicate.

Liu Hanlin said, "Since then, our family has embroidered shoes to wear. ”

Chu Lan was worried for a while, not knowing what he was doing, "But your own pair hasn't been embroidered yet." ”

"I've been a dead man for a long time, I don't need shoes"

Liu Hanlin seemed to have lost his sense of pain, but smiled more heartily, "These two stitches are for those who are blind by my embroidery." ”

"These two stitches were given back to the man who died because of me. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out two more needles from nowhere, as if by magic, and pierced them on the temples on either side of his head.

"This needle is what I left for myself, father, mother, wife, son, daughter, I'm coming"

It was too late for Chu Lan to stop him, and the last slender embroidery needle had already pierced his own throat.

After suffering too much, there is no longer concern in Hongchen, and the only motivation for him to live is to find the antidote to the Kasa virus, and now that he has met Chu Lan, he can also trust this young man, therefore, now for him, death is the best destination.

For a person who is bent on death, even if you stop it, it doesn't make sense,

The thief, who had a rough life, but was more chivalrous than some dog-like people, finally fell, leaving behind an embroidered shoe on his right foot.

- and the last embroidered shoe!
