Suning nodded and looked at him, "You mean, I still have to thank you?" Liu Yanqing frowned, how did he feel that no matter what he said to Suning now, he couldn't make sense now, "You know I won't mean that, I just want you to go back with me and go back to the capital." Or is it because you don't want to go back because of their business, but what does this matter have to do with you, if you really talk about it, you can't stop it. ”

Su Ning was silent and didn't speak, and Liu Yanqing continued, "My brother can say anything, and he is like that." Have you ever wondered what if he lied to you? What should you do then? Suning pursed his lips, Liu Yanqing did make sense, but how could this be possible. She shook her head, "No way, he could have sent his mother out when I was there before." ”

Liu Yanqing was stunned, "Send it out?" Where to go? All I know is that my mother has been recuperating at home all the time. Suning looked at Liu Yanqing, "What you said is true?" Liu Yanqing nodded, Suning took a deep breath, and couldn't believe what Liu Yanqing said, "How is this possible, obviously I was sent away by Liu Zhengsheng because I was protecting me, why is it like this now, recuperating?" Where would she get something? ”

Liu Yanqing said, "When I went back, I saw my mother lying on the bed, and she couldn't even speak. My brother found a miracle doctor to treat him for a long time, but he didn't get better. When I went back, it seemed to get even worse. Suning was startled and hurriedly looked at Liu Yanqing, "What did you say?" More serious? How could this be, when I was still here, she was in good health, why has it become so serious all of a sudden, what kind of disease? ”

Suning asked, but Liu Yanqing couldn't speak. Suning hurriedly ran home, and Liu Yanqing followed behind her. When the two entered the house, Suning began to pack his things. Liu Meilan stood to the side and looked at her, completely unaware of what happened to make Suning like this. Seeing Liu Yanqing coming in, he asked, "Second uncle, what's wrong with you, what happened, why did you pack up your things as soon as you came back?" ”

Liu Yanqing didn't know how to tell Liu Meilan about this matter, so Suning said to Liu Meilan while cleaning up, "Lan'er, clean up, let's go out." With that, she put what she had just cleaned up on the table. Liu Meilan nodded, and began to clean up. They didn't have a lot of things to bring, and they packed them after a while. As soon as he walked out of the door, he met Xu Dang, who was waiting at the door.

Suning looked at Xu Dang, not knowing what to do. Xu Dang raised his chin, "I'm here to find Liu Meilan, I want to give something, don't delay you." Suning nodded, turned around, and said to Liu Meilan, "Lan'er, your master is looking for you, and my mother will go down and wait for you first." Liu Meilan nodded, and then Suning and Liu Yanqing left together, leaving only Xu Dang and Liu Meilan, who were still standing in place and did not move.

It wasn't until Xu Dang sighed that Liu Meilan asked, "Master, what do you want to give me?" When she said this, Liu Meilan was still a little excited. Although she didn't know why Suning suddenly had to take her with her. However, Xu Dang was able to give her something, it must be to test the things she had learned before. In addition to this, Liu Meilan couldn't think of anything else that could be given to her.

Xu Dang looked at Liu Meilan's face, and was very reluctant in his heart. However, Liu Meilan is just like no one, and I feel that she is still a little excited. A baby with no conscience, Xu Dang casually complained in his heart. Handing her the things in her hand, Liu Meilan took the things, "What is this?" She was about to open the thing to see what was inside, but Xu Dang stopped her, "I'll show it when you go down the mountain." ”

Liu Meilan sighed, Xu Dang nodded, and then left without saying anything. Liu Meilan glanced at his back and decided to ask Xu Dang what happened when he came back. Now there are other things to do, thinking of this, Liu Meilan quickly walked down the mountain. When he got to the bottom of the mountain, he was the only one with Suning. Liu Meilan walked up to Suning, "Mother, why are you the only one here second uncle?" ”

Suning said, "I'm looking for a car." Liu Meilan nodded and didn't say anything more. The two didn't wait long, and Liu Yanqing's carriage arrived in front of them. Suning and Liu Meilan got into Liu Yanqing's carriage. Because Liu Yanqing had instructed, the man walked the same way he came and went without asking anything. In the car, none of the three spoke to each other. The candlelight in the middle flickered and flickered, as if it was about to be extinguished.

Liu Meilan kept staring at the candle flame and watched it dance little by little. I don't know how long later, the miserable cry of a woman suddenly sounded outside. Liu Meilan hurriedly pulled up the curtain to look. In the distance, the woman was kneeling on the ground and crying. At this time, Liu Yanqing also walked to Liu Meilan's side to look at it together. Maybe it's because of the moonlight, the woman's figure and face are very clear, Liu Yanqing frowned when he saw this.

Liu Meilan didn't know this woman, but when she saw Liu Yanqing's expression, she asked, "Does the second uncle know?" Liu Yanqing took a deep breath, "I don't know each other, I have asked the magistrate for help before." Then he went back to his seat and sat down. Suning looked at Liu Yanqing, "Is it the one you just asked, it's Zhao Dalang's family." Liu Yanqing nodded, Suning frowned, and sighed again.

Liu Yanqing looked at why Suning sighed, Suning shook his head, "The magistrate has beaten him with eighty sticks, and now he must have beaten people again." Liu Yanqing frowned, ready to leave. Suning pulled his sleeve on, "What are you doing?" Suning said, Liu Yanqing replied, "Of course it's to help, Lin Hu Chang shouldn't ignore this matter." Suning directly pulled the person back, "It's useless or forget it." ”

Liu Yanqing was about to say something, but Suning continued, "It's useless for you to go, it's better to sit and wait for Household Chief Lin to solve this matter." Liu Yanqing looked at the door, and Suning pursed his lips, "Don't look at it, the more you care, the harder he beats." When Liu Yanqing heard this, he instantly dispelled the idea of going out and sat back obediently. Liu Meilan glanced at the two of them, and then lowered her head again to look at the flickering candle flame.

The woman knelt on the ground, her heart hurting as if she had been caught. But she didn't cry for long, so she got up and walked to the house of the head of the forest. She hoped that the head of the forest household would take Liu Yanqing to her again to redress her grievances, but this time she was kidnapped and returned home before she could go to the head of the forest household. When she got home, she looked at the corpse on the ground and cried breathlessly. Zhao Dalang took a sip of wine and walked in front of the woman, "Do you dare to run?" ”

The woman shook her head, "Don't run, I won't run anymore, but Brother Zhao can't die." Zhao Dalang sneered, "It's just a girl, what's the good." The woman knelt in front of Zhao Dalang and said, "But that's the child of an official, an official, you can't kill your brother." Zhao Dalang didn't speak again, so he went back to sleep in his room. At this time, Zhao Niang suddenly spoke, "Mother, I want to hug." ”

The woman was stunned, stood up and ran to Zhao Niang to kneel down, and held Zhao Niang in her arms. "Mother's hug, recruit brother, mother's mother will take you away now." Zhao Niang didn't speak, and hugged the woman with both hands. But then, her arms fell because she didn't have the strength. When the arm fell, the woman's breathing stopped. After a long time, she gently shook Zhao Niang's body, but Zhao Niang didn't reply a word.

She didn't believe it and shook her body again. Still didn't answer, when he changed the position and hugged him. She saw that Zhao Niang's clothes were wet in a large area. She lowered her head and looked at her clothes again, and it was the same as Zhao Niang's position, but it was also wet. She put her hand on it, and when she picked it up again, it was all blood. "How, how could it be, how could it be, it would, it would be, it would be."

She picked up Zhao Niang's body again and shook it vigorously a few times, but Zhao Niang still didn't react. "Wake up, wake up and take you away, recruit brother." The woman shouted, her voice was very loud, and it made a noise to Zhao Dalang, who had just fallen asleep. Zhao Dalang opened his eyes and yelled towards the door, "What are you crying in the middle of the night?" Still want to run, do you think you can run? I can sleep, I can't sleep, what are you arguing about me, a crazy woman. ”

The woman didn't say a word, and kept looking down at Zhao Niang's corpse. Mother Zhao and Father Zhao happened to come back at this time, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them before they entered the door. The dim light illuminated the woman's back very thin, her hair was disheveled, and she was holding a child in her arms. If it weren't for the fact that they knew who this man was, they would have thought that someone had crawled out of the underworld to ask for his life.

Mother Zhao walked in quickly and slapped the woman on the head, "What are you crazy about here, don't go back to sleep." As soon as the words fell, she saw Zhao Niang in the woman's arms. Zhao Niang's body was all wet and wet, and the woman's hands were still red with blood. You don't have to think about it to know that all this blood is on Zhao Niang's body. Mother Zhao suddenly regretted that she had just beaten her, but she couldn't turn back now.

Father Zhao followed in, he saw Zhao Niang in the woman's arms, and asked, "What are you?" The woman looked at Zhao's father, "Dad, didn't the county magistrate beat eighty sticks today, why did you take your mother out." Zhao's father was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, the woman chuckled, "The official said, it's because I didn't take a good look at Zhao's brother, so I let the magistrate see it." It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been. ”

When Zhao's father was about to speak, Zhao's mother suddenly interjected, "It turns out that you know everything, I thought you knew everything." The woman didn't speak, and Zhao's father hurriedly pulled Zhao's mother away when she saw this. He always felt that there was something wrong with the woman tonight, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Mother Zhao, who was pulled by Zhao's father, was still struggling, and she beat Zhao's father's hand down, "What are you arresting me for, am I wrong?" ”

Father Zhao glanced at the woman, and then looked back at Mother Zhao, "You are about to leave, say less." Mother Zhao sneered, "Joke, do you think I'll be afraid of her?" She said, Zhao's father sighed and explained, "It's not that you're afraid, it's that you didn't see that her hands were full of blood, and you don't know who hit her." What are you talking to her now, people are also angry now, so it's good if you don't say a little less. ”

Mother Zhao sneered again, "Why, if you say that, she is still ready to beat me." The trouble is dead, but it was just a few hits to the girl. It's just such a trivial matter, and I went to tell the head of the household. Now the head of the household doesn't care about our family, and she will be in charge of the county in the future, if she goes to the county magistrate if she has something in the future, it won't be enough, I think it's good to beat her, and relieve her anger. Zhao's father slapped Zhao's mother in the face, "Shut up." ”

Mother Zhao covered her face and looked at Father Zhao in disbelief. Father Zhao was looked at by her like this, and he panicked, worried about whether he was too heavy. Mother Zhao didn't say a word, and directly raised her hand and slapped Zhao's father, "You dare to hit me now, huh?" Zhao's father covered his face and took Zhao's mother into the room. Mother Zhao scolded along the way. The voice was not only high, but also turned over the genealogy of Zhao's father.

The woman listened to Zhao's mother's scolding and looked towards Zhao Dalang's room. Just now, he just yelled, and he shut himself up. Now that Zhao's mother is so loud, she doesn't care about him. The woman sneered, really. She took Zhao Niang into her arms and gently touched her head, "Brother Zhao, my mother will go to you immediately, okay." She said very quietly, and in a trance, she seemed to hear it.

Zhao Niang agreed beside her, and the woman smiled. She had been sitting on the floor, whispering over and over again the songs she had learned from her mother to coax the children. On the carriage, Liu Yanqing kept thinking about what would happen to the woman. Without noticing at all, Suning, who was sitting next to him, was staring at him. Liu Meilan looked at Suning, then at Liu Yanqing, and saw that no one cared about them, so she took out what Xu Dang gave.

She lifted the cloth on it, and inside, Xu Dang put a total of two letters, two swords, charms, jade pendants, and some other things that should be used, all of which Liu Meilan had learned from Xu Dang. Hearing the voice from Liu Meilan's side, both of them looked at Liu Meilan's side. Liu Yanqing saw the things in Liu Meilan's hand and raised his eyebrows, "Lan'er, this is it, you can still use these things, who taught you." ”

Suning didn't speak, Liu Meilan smiled and replied, "This is given to me by my master, the person you saw just now." Liu Yanqing recalled the person he saw at the gate just now, and sighed, "It turned out to be him, you know what his name is and where he comes from." Liu Meilan shook her head, "I don't know about this, I only know that his name is Xu Dang, and he doesn't know where he is." ”

Liu Yanqing looked at Suning again, and Suning shook his head as well. Liu Yanqing rubbed his nose, "I don't see that he is from here, so I asked." Liu Meilan nodded, "When we first came, he lived next door to us. Liu Yanqing nodded and looked at Suning, "Lan'er will do this, do you know?" Suning shook his head, "How do I know what he teaches, just seeing the practice of boxing." ”

Liu Yanqing was stunned, "Practicing boxing? It's not just a matter of learning from you. Liu Yanqing said, Suning explained, "I can't play too much, and I can't teach much if I'm not in good health." Now I have learned a lot from Xu Dang, and I really have to thank you. Liu Yanqing nodded and didn't say anything more. Liu Meilan didn't speak, put all the things away, put them aside, and only took out the two letters inside.

By the candlelight, she saw that one was for her and the other was for Liu Yanqing. She was stunned, could it be that Xu Dang and Liu Yanqing couldn't get to know each other? But thinking of Liu Yanqing's expression just now, these two people don't seem to be particularly familiar. Seeing Liu Meilan frowning, Liu Yanqing asked, "What's the matter, what are you looking at?" Liu Meilan pursed her lips and handed the letter to Liu Yanqing, "Here you go." ”

Liu Yanqing raised his eyebrows, "Aren't these all given to you by your master, you give them to me?" Liu Meilan shook her head, "No, this is given to you by my master." Liu Yanqing frowned, took the letter, and brought back the candlelight. Later, by the candlelight, it was his name. "It's really a god", Liu Yanqing sighed and opened the letter to read. Looking at it, his eyebrows, which had just been calmed down, furrowed again.

Suning looked at Liu Yanqing like this, a little curious about what was written in it. She looked at Liu Meilan, "What did your master write in it?" She asked, Liu Meilan shook her head, "I don't know about this yet, I gave it to me just before I left, and I haven't even seen it." Suning nodded, and after Liu Yanqing read the letter, he nodded, "It makes sense, Lan'er, you found a good master, I'll listen to him." ”

Liu Meilan scratched her head and looked at Suning. Suning looked at Liu Yanqing, "What is written on it, why are you like this." Liu Yanqing put the letter away, "Nothing, you don't have to worry about Liu Wu's affairs, he will solve it." Liu Meilan looked at Liu Yanqing, "Second uncle, what will happen to my master?" I did all those things, my master won't be going in for me, will he pay for my father's life? ”

Liu Yanqing pretended to cough twice, "Ahem, I don't know this very well." Liu Meilan frowned, "How can this be, second uncle, aren't you also an official?" Liu Yanqing sighed and said, "Now that you know that you are afraid, you also know that he is your father?" You're not afraid? Liu Meilan replied, "Afraid? Why am I afraid? He bullied my mother first, and even ran out to embarrass people, just beat us, and didn't make any money. ”

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, Liu Yanqing looked at Suning, but Suning didn't speak. Liu Yanqing looked at Liu Meilan again, "Okay, I'll forget it, after you get to the place, don't tell others these words." Liu Meilan nodded, and Liu Yanqing thought again, if the child and Liu Meilan had the same temper, then the woman should not be mixed up like that, "Oh, by the way, you have learned everything that your master taught you before?" ”

Liu Meilan nodded, "I've learned everything." Liu Yanqing nodded, but he didn't worry about what Liu Meilan said. He looked at Suning, "How many masters has Lan'er worshipped." Suning thought for a while, "There should be two." Liu Yanqing nodded, and looked at Liu Meilan again, "Your mother embroiders clothes, when did you start your business?" I look at your ledger, and it doesn't look like it was written by someone your age. ”
