Hearing him say this, Su Muwan was very curious, "Why can't you send it to the official?" ”

"The benefactor didn't know, in the past, the people of this black wind village often came down to rob some passers-by, and our villagers couldn't get used to their rampant and domineering, so they went to the local parents and officials to ask him to deal with these bandits, but they were beaten up and said that we framed good people." The village chief smiled bitterly and told the reason.

Su Muwan's face was full of anger: "There are still such parents and officials!" Since being an official is not the master of the people, what is the use of him! ”

"If the benefactor is out of my village, don't say this to outsiders, in the past, Xie Da accidentally leaked to us, saying that there are still people behind him to support them, so don't mention the matter here when the benefactor is outside, I am afraid of causing trouble to the benefactor."

The village chief persuaded bitterly, he was afraid that Su Muwan would be angry for a while and provoke people who should not be provoked.

"Someone behind you?" Su Muwan muttered to herself.

Why did a little bandit leader dare to say such a thing, and let his parents and officials protect him in turn, what is the reason.

At this time, Mo Yan suddenly shouted: "Childe, the ancestral hall seems to be on fire!" ”

Su Muwan hurriedly turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw bursts of black smoke coming out of the sky above the ancestral hall.

Could it be that the thieves escaped?

Su Muwan hurriedly led people to the ancestral hall, and when she arrived, the ancestral hall had already been burned down.

There was a young man holding a torch at the door, with blood stains on his face, and his expression seemed to be sad and resentful, and he looked a little crazy.

Seeing him, Xiao Lei shouted: "Nanqiao!" What are you doing! ”

It turned out that this was Nanqiao, who didn't know when he walked away from Xiao Lei's side, after he heard Xiao Lei's voice, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and his eyes began to have focus.

"It's Xiao Lei, I killed Xie Da and Xie San just now, the knife was inserted into their chests, and a lot of blood spurted out at once, you didn't see it, they begged me all the time, begging me not to kill them."

Speaking of this, Nanqiao suddenly began to laugh until he choked on laughter and coughed.

"Ahem, ahem! How funny, it turns out that even if they kill so many innocent people, they will be scared when it is their turn! You say it's ironic or not! ”

"Why are you doing this, Nanqiao?" Xiao Lei stepped forward and shouted at him.

"Why? Xiao Lei, your hands are still clean, don't get your hands dirty just because you killed the thief, but I, I'm already dirty all over my body, so why not get dirty! Don't worry, I've avenged both of us, so forget about it and start over! ”

Nanqiao said word by word, and then his gaze turned to Su Muwan.

"Are you the good guy in Xiao Lei's mouth? Haha, in this world, there are really few good people, today your kindness to me, I can't repay it in this life, in the next life, in the next life, I will definitely repay you by making a cow and a horse! ”

After speaking, he turned his head and walked step by step into the burning ancestral hall behind him, shouting as he walked: "Grandpa, Nanqiao has come to see you with the person who killed you, don't dislike Nanqiao for not being clean." ”

The fire was raging, and in a short time he was swallowed up by the fire dragon and disappeared into the flames.

Xiao Lei was about to rush in to save him just now, but he was caught in time, and at this time he stood in front of the raging fire and muttered: "Nanqiao, why are you so stupid!" ”

Seeing this, Su Muwan had already guessed most of the situation in her heart, but she could only sigh secretly.

In the end, this young man avenged himself before leaving, so for him, this is also a relief from a short and painful life.

In the next life, I hope that he will come cleanly, leave cleanly, and will always be a young man like a breeze.

The ancestral hall was originally made of wood, so this fire was finally burned clean and became a ruin.

Xiao Lei grabbed a handful of ashes from the ruins, tore off a piece of cloth at the corner of his clothes, and carefully wrapped it.

He decided that no matter where he went in the future, he would take it with him, so he would let Nanqiao accompany him to live again.

Seeing him like this, Su Muwan didn't say anything and touched his head.

Xiao Lei suddenly looked up at Su Muwan, and asked seriously with serious eyes: "Childe, can I follow you in the future?" I have no relatives, and you have helped me to take revenge, so I will stay by your side to repay the favor. ”

Seeing that Su Muwan didn't respond, he was a little anxious, "I can do any job, I used to study medicine with my father, my voice was made by my own medicine, I will have a lot of things, please let me stay by your side." ”

"You may encounter a lot of dangers if you follow me, aren't you afraid?"

Su Muwan didn't want to take him with her, it was better for such a child to stay with her and spend her life peacefully.

Xiao Lei shook his head, with a resolute look on his face, "I'm not afraid, my life is yours now, if one day I can die for protecting you, it can be regarded as my death." ”

Su Muwan saw the seriousness and expectation in his eyes, and couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

"Please give me another name!" Seeing that Su Muwan promised to let him stay, Xiao Lei begged.

He wanted to say goodbye to his past once and for all and start over.

Su Muwan pondered for a moment, then opened her mouth and gently spit out a few words: "Qingfeng, from now on, you will be called Qingfeng." ”

Just think of it as a young man, living as comfortable as the breeze.

With the new name, Qingfeng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then remembered what he had taken out of the mountain.

"Childe, look! This is the letter I picked up from Xie Dawu. ”

Su Muwan took it, opened one of them, swept it with ten lines, and opened another one, so that after reading a few letters, she frowned tightly and was silent.

Seeing this, Mo Yan was very anxious and asked, "Childe, what does this letter say?" Do you know who is behind Xie Da? ”

Su Muwan casually gave him the letter and asked him to read it for himself.

When Mo Yan finished reading it, he could hardly believe his eyes.

It turned out that these letters were written by the local parents to Xie Da, and one of the letters stated that as long as Xie Da paid a certain amount of silver to the government every month, he could justifiably ask passers-by for tolls, and the government would not send anyone to interfere.

The remaining letters were the amount of money that the two of them had agreed to pay.

Collusion between officials and bandits! Such a thing was unintentionally broken by them!

"Childe, this, are we going to take care of this matter?" Mo Yan asked, no matter what he did, he only listened to Su Muwan's orders.

No matter what, Su Muwan was also a little entangled in her heart, but thinking about it, if there were still people in Qingcheng who were suffering the same pain as the people in this village, she couldn't say the word "don't care".

She is not a bodhisattva, but she can't bear to see death without help, so she can only choose to do as much as she can while keeping herself safe.

"Tube! It's just that this matter still needs to be carefully discussed, so we will continue to hurry to Qingcheng to see what is going on! ”

Su Muwan asked Xiaoliu and the others to pack their luggage and went to the village chief to say goodbye.

"Village chief, after we left, if someone asked about the people in Heifeng Village, you said that a group of merchants passed by, and at night, two fires were set to burn the Heifeng Village and the ancestral hall clean."

Su Muwan told her that she was afraid that her parents would not be able to receive Xie Da's money from the official recently, so she sent someone to investigate and cause trouble to the villagers.

Speaking of which, it is still the young man of Nanqiao who is decisive, and just now Mo Yan told Su Muwan that the Black Wind Village on the mountain was also burned by Nanqiao.

He is going to burn all the sins of a stockpile and take them away with him.

The village chief nodded cautiously, "The benefactor must pay attention to his safety, I have already sent someone to repair the road in front of which was destroyed by the thieves, and your group is just ready to go on the road." ”

Su Muwan thanked him, and was about to get into the carriage and leave, but the villagers came spontaneously, put some dry food, specialties and other things on Su Muwan's carriage to express their gratitude, and finally watched her leave.

On the carriage, Su Muwan turned her head to take a look, this small village was located at the foot of the mountain as she saw it for the first time, but at this time, the smoke rose, which finally made people's hearts feel a little warm.

On the road.

Because Qingfeng was still young, Su Muwan asked him to sit in the carriage with him.

Fortunately, the carriage was large enough that it did not appear crowded with four people at this time.

"Qingfeng, you said that your voice was made by yourself, what's going on?"

Su Muwan still remembered what he said to himself before.

Qingfeng had been told Su Muwan's true identity by Xiao Liu before, but he felt that no matter whether she was a man or a woman, she was his benefactor, and this heart of following and repaying her kindness would not change.

So he looked at Su Muwan and replied respectfully:

"Princess, Xie San is a good man, especially like men with good voices and beautiful faces, I am afraid that he will have any evil thoughts about me, so I used some of the prescriptions my father taught me to prepare a few flavors of medicine, after eating, not only will I be thin all day long, but my voice will be hoarse all year round."

"There is such a medicine? Your father wants to come to the doctor. ”

Su Muwan had never heard of such a drug, which could also change a person's body shape and voice.

"My father used to be the first person in Jiangnan to have medical skills, but no matter how clever his medical skills are, he can't save them." Speaking of his relatives, Qingfeng lowered his head, and his face was a little lonely.

Xiao Liu felt a little sorry for him, and quickly changed the topic: "Qingfeng, we thought you were just a ten-year-old child, but we didn't expect you to be thirteen, you have to grow up quickly." ”

"The kind of medicine I take will make people stop growing temporarily, and if I don't take it anymore, I will slowly grow taller." At the mention of his height, Qingfeng blushed a little.

As soon as he said that he was thirteen, even Mo Yan, who had always been calm, was very surprised, because looking at his figure, he was a child.

"It's okay, I believe that Qingfeng will definitely grow very tall in the future." Su Muwan touched his head and comforted.

Qingfeng felt her gentleness and made up her mind that in the future, she would not only grow taller and practice medical skills diligently, but also learn martial arts from Mo Yan and them, so that she could protect Su Muwan.
