Chapter 57: Meeting
Zhu Mingyu understood why the two girls were angry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This book has been published for more than 50 years, and the yellow-mouthed children know what the ending is."
Li Fenglan was a little surprised and asked, "It's been more than 50 years?"
Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "Yes, but this book is not very good, the evaluation is not high, and the person who wrote the book is not a martial artist, so there are many fallacies."
Li Fenglan said: "It's just a script, it's just wonderful, so what's the more serious?"
Zhu Mingyu asked Li Fenglan and Jade to wait for a while, he turned around and went back to the house, and after a while took two books out.
"Look at this."
Li Fenglan took the book, only to see three words written on the cover, "Legend of Breaking Demons".
Zhu Mingyu said, "This book was written by a smiling scholar, but it is not finished yet. He himself said that there are three volumes, the upper, middle and lower, and this is the upper middle volume. The next volume, it's estimated that it will take a year and a half to come out. The smiling scholar was offered a bounty two years ago."
Li Fenglan asked, "Reward? Why do you want to reward him?"
"Hmph," Zhu Mingyu said with a sneer, "The middle book was released two years ago, and after it was published, it disappeared. Then the friends on the rivers and lakes pooled money to reward him, and they didn't want his life, but they just arrested him and finished the next book."
"Did you catch him?"
"I caught him, I heard that he was drinking flower wine in the Yangzhou painting boat when he was found. Now imprisoned in a beautiful manor on the shore of West Lake, I can't finish writing and won't let me out."
Li Fenglan nodded and said, "This kind of person is indeed quite hateful...... worse than you."
Zhu Mingyu shrugged and said nothing.
Jade moved a chair and sat next to Li Fenglan, and the two of them read it with relish.
This method of killing time is effective, and before you know it, the sun is setting. The words on the book gradually blurred, Li Fenglan stretched and said, "Let's read it tomorrow."
Jade nodded, ready to go back to the house.
At this time, Jade's ears suddenly moved, and she said, "Someone is coming."
Li Fenglan looked at the gate of the courtyard, and a woman dressed in white walked in.
The woman looked young, but her expression and posture did not look like that of a young woman.
Li Fenglan felt that her body was smart, like being electrocuted.
The woman didn't speak, just smiled slightly. Li Fenglan stared into her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
Ask while knowing the answer.
The woman said, "You're a big girl."
At that moment, Li Fenglan felt that her eyes were a little sour, but she still stabilized her emotions and slowly asked, "Li Fengyao?"
The woman tilted her head and said, "Call me by my name?"
Li Fenglan opened her mouth, but the word still didn't come out.
Jade looked at Li Fenglan and Li Fengyao, she shook her head secretly, maybe Li Fenglan's guess was true. Li Fengyao may really not be her mother, and there is no resemblance between the two.
The woman was still walking forward, and Jade suddenly blocked in front of the two of them, and said coldly, "Just stand there."
Li Fengyao stared at the jade in surprise, and after a while, she suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "I see."
Li Fenglan asked, "What is this?"
Li Fengyao shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I heard that you were injured a few days ago."
"Not dead."
Li Fengyao nodded again: "I originally prepared a lot of things to talk to you, but after meeting you, don't say those words, you don't look like a person who likes to be hypocritical."
"yes...... When you threw me into the Asarashi Valley, how old was I?"
Li Fengyao thought for a moment, "Probably...... Trimester? I don't remember exactly. Let's get down to business."
"What can you offer?" Li Fenglan is unambiguous and goes straight to the point.
Li Fengyao replied, "There is nothing I can provide you with, and I have been hiding myself all these years."
"I don't want information."
"And what do you want?"
"Money."
Li Fengyao couldn't help but laugh again, and said, "You are very direct, how much do you want?"
"The more the merrier."
Li Fengyao took out a stack of papers from her sleeve, took two steps forward, handed it to Jade, and said, "This is five thousand taels of silver tickets."
"That's all?"
"Only?" Li Fengyao was surprised, "Girl, don't you know how much this is?"
"Not enough for what I'm going to do."
"That...... For my mother, I can only persuade you to save some flowers."
Hearing the words "for the mother", Li Fenglan clenched her fists tightly. She asked again, "That half of the map, did you give it to the Bai family?"
"Yes, it's my sincerity."
"It's not just sincerity, if the Bai family doesn't help you avenge the revenge eighteen years ago, then this half of the map is the death hole of the Bai family."
"Yes, that's smart."
"What about the second half?"
"Lost."
"You...... It's not just about revenge."
"What? What other purpose do I have?"
"You want them all dead, don't you? No matter how many."
Li Fengyao frowned and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this revenge? That's my whole purpose."
Li Fenglan didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Li Fengyao was right, isn't revenge just killing all the enemies? The difference is that Shen Xiangzhi and himself both know that it is unrealistic to kill everyone, because no one knows the specific number of participants that year. Now she is putting on a posture of only looking for trouble from those behind the scenes, and those involved are not to blame.
This is why the rivers and lakes have not made a big move against her until now. If the goal is to kill all the people involved, then they ...... I don't think I have a few months to live.
Li Fenglan thought to herself, anyway, the general direction is the same, and she can't fight the first void and the snake, and wait until the day when it doesn't make sense, and then think of other ways.
So she changed the subject: "You know Shen Xiangzhi."
"Yes, I hugged her when she was a child."
Li Fenglan said, "I don't have any problems, if there's nothing wrong, you can go."
Li Fengyao smiled, turned around and walked towards the gate of the small courtyard, took two steps, she turned her head again, and asked Li Fenglan, "Girl, do you know how I escaped back then?"
Li Fenglan didn't speak, she wanted to know, but she didn't want to ask.
Li Fengyao pointed to her face and said, "I scratched my face and lay down in the pile of dead people, so that I was able to escape. Now this face has used the White Bone Flesh Technique of Medicine Immortal Valley, and it took five years to soak in the medicine jar before it regained its human appearance. But...... I can't get it back to what it used to be."
Meaning: The reason why I don't look like you is because I have been disfigured.
Li Fengyao continued, "I didn't know I already had you. Girl, when you were born, I didn't feel comforted or moved at all. Or rather, all these years, I only have hatred in my heart."
Li Fengyao walked towards Li Fenglan, and this time Jade didn't stop her. She walked up to Li Fenglan, looked at her condescendingly, and then reached out and gently stroked Li Fenglan's cheek. Li Fenglan instinctively resisted, but her body didn't obey the call and didn't move.
"Back then, like you, I was overwhelmed by the country and the city."
As she spoke, she grabbed Li Fenglan's hand again and put it on her face. She used a lot of strength, and the fingers that she pinched Li Fenglan hurt, so painful that the corners of Li Fenglan's mouth twitched slightly. But Li Fengyao did not relax, grabbed Li Fenglan's hand and pressed it her cheekbones.
"I know you don't believe it," Li Fengyao's voice was cold and terrifying, "You touch it hard, here, although the flesh has grown, the scratches on the bones are still there, eighteen years, these scars are painful all the time!" It hurts to the bone marrow!"
Li Fenglan did feel it, and there were some bumps on her facial bones.
Li Fengyao finally let go of Li Fenglan's hand, but she was still staring at Li Fenglan's eyes.
"I don't expect you to recognize me, nor do I expect anyone to help me avenge me, but if you have the heart, you can find out who was behind the scenes
。 As for how many people I'm going to kill, I don't have to worry about you."
It seemed that the words just now went straight to her chest, Li Fengyao looked up at the night sky, let out a long breath, and said slowly: "In those five years, although the flesh on my face was growing, every moment, my face seemed to have countless ants eating my flesh and blood. Girl, I've been through this, teach me how to let those people go calmly?"
Li Fenglan looked at her, back then, when she got married, she seemed to be eighteen years old. After the family was slaughtered, her beloved husband died, and she disfigured her appearance, and endured it for eighteen years.
Li Fenglan asked, "Why do you think I can help you take revenge after eighteen years?"
"Because you are my daughter."
"So you thought I was going to be smart?"
"No," Li Fengyao shook her head, "so you don't have a choice."
Li Fengyao left, and this time she didn't look back.
The moon in the sky was very bright, and Li Fenglan also looked up at the sky.
Emerald asked softly, "Are you alright?"
"Emerald ...... I'm so scared."
Emerald gently stroked her hair and said softly, "What are you afraid of, Amber and I are both ...... Don't think about it, go to bed early."
Li Fenglan nodded, got up and went back to the house, walked to the door of the house, and found Jade following her, she asked with a smile, "You want to sleep with me tonight."
"Well, there's something I want to discuss with you."
But Jadeite's empathetic state didn't last long, and after an hour and a half, Jade regretted her decision.
"Li Fenglan, I beg you," Jade lay on the bed with her eyes closed, "Sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"But don't you want to know if the king of the hundred leagues is dead? That treasure knife sharpens Jin Duan Yu, the prince's martial arts are so high, that knife goes down, people are estimated to have two halves, right?"
Jade said helplessly, "The king of Baili has an iron robe to protect his body, and he can't die."
"But the iron robe has been damaged before, and now this one has been repaired, so I think it's a foreshadowing."
"He doesn't have an iron robe, he still has Donkey Kong seals."
"He's hurt inside."
"He's the most powerful villain, how can he write it after he dies now?"
"Ah, rewrite a character, isn't it easy?"
Jade turned over and covered Li Fenglan's mouth and said, "I'm going to talk to Zhu Mingyu tomorrow to read the middle book, don't guess, go to sleep quickly."
The reason why Li Fenglan was afraid was that Li Fengyao was completely out of control. Kill all the people who participated in the year? More than that, how did Qiao Fei die? How did Mo Changfeng get poisoned? Those enemies, she will kill. Those who could have helped back then but didn't, or didn't do their best to help, she would also be killed. Anger others, leaving no way back. Li Fenglan felt that Li Fengyao was already crazy.
