Chapter 13 Exploration
Since ancient times, the battle of the rivers and lakes is nothing more than a secret book of divine skills, a secret treasure for the ages, and its effect is nothing more than to help people achieve great martial arts, reach the peak forever, live forever, and be invincible. But after a long time of open and secret fighting, no one has ever really been the hegemon forever, and it is normal for the generation to change. Countless martial arts masters, either seeking immortality, or looking forward to becoming immortals, no matter how bad they are, they have to find a way to start over again.
Zhou Song also thought that she could be much smoother than in her previous life, she could easily cover the sky with one hand, and her future regrets could be over, this is God helping her.
But when Tuo Lanya and Aunt Su took their last breath in front of her, she knew that there were so many of the best of both worlds. In her previous life, she devoted herself to practicing martial arts and winning the world in martial arts, but unfortunately she lost countless people around her, and even her own origin was not clarified, and she was reborn, she was dedicated to protecting the people around her and crusading against traitors and ghosts, but she still failed to resist the disaster.
Destiny is indisobedient, in this life, should she make up for her regrets, or let her be tortured again?
Zhou Song picked up the sword, but she was not as sure as before, what was reflected in the cold light was not herself, but Ye Xingchuan's face, which should have seen all the treacherous and still righteous faces, had been dyed with the anger of revenge.
The sword was re-sheathed, sealing the sorrow of the present, and when it was unsheathed, it would be the time for her to cut off the treacherous schemes.
"In 1499, Yuelang's family was in an inn in Baiyujing, two traitors broke in, killed Yue Baili, raped Tuo Lanya, Yue Lang escaped, and then ......"
Ye Xingchuan took an account book and read.
"Then one of them took Tuo Lanya home as a side room, and gave birth to a daughter, named Zhou Song."
Zhou Song calmly took a sip of tea and answered.
Ye Xingchuan paused and changed the topic: "This account book was found when I went home, and my mother never told me that there was such a thing." ”
"Is Brother Ye's family doing business?" Xiao Bei asked.
Ye Xingchuan shook his head: "No, the accounts are not clearly written in this account book. ”
"Since it's an account book, why do you record the murder of the Yue family?" Xiao Bei was puzzled.
"I don't know, but there is a payment at the back, 'written in the winter of Yungui 1510'."
1510, it has been eleven years since the Yue family was killed, and in this year, the princess Xiao Yan disappeared, and Ye's father died unexpectedly.
"Most of Yue Lang's letters are the agreed meeting time with others, and they are also ...... in 1510," Ye Xingchuan pondered for a moment, "Maybe it was Miss Yue who contacted my father and helped her find the real murderer of the year." ”
Xiao Bei nodded: "It should be like this, Brother Ye, you also said that Ling Zun used to be fast, but why did Miss Yue find Ling Zun?" ”
"Miss Yue was adopted by her grandfather when she was young, and she should have known her at that time."
"Perhaps, it is very likely that they had already found out the real murderer at that time, and as a result, the real murderer was detected, so they designed to murder Ling Zun." Zhou Song added.
"Although the account books and attributes are not written, it seems that the matter has come to light now." Xiao Bei shook his fan and said slowly, "The rest is to find out the murderer of my aunt." ”
"Dayan City has been checking here for a few days, but there are no clues, I will go back to the village tomorrow to see if there is anything missing." Ye Xingchuan proposed.
The crowd nodded, but did not say much.
"This is my mother's business, what are you doing here?"
On the second day, Ye Xingchuan saw that Zhou Song was neatly dressed and followed behind him, so he asked angrily.
"My body is in your hands, don't worry."
"Isn't this all your doing?"
The two soon arrived at the village and searched the house carefully, but unfortunately, there was nothing but some daily necessities.
Ye Xingchuan packed up his belongings and said that he would go back to Lao Ye's house in the neighboring village to check, and let Zhou Song stay and guard.
Zhou Song sat casually on the kang, closed his eyes, and recalled Ye's mother's death and the situation in the room.
That night, Zhou Song and Xiao Bei were sitting on the tree outside the room chatting, no abnormality was found, and there were no traces of invasion and fighting in the room......
Thinking about it, Zhou Song opened his eyes and locked on the little cub who was peeking outside the door.
The little boy outside the door saw Zhou Song open his eyes, turned around and ran. Zhou Song got up and grabbed him in three or two steps.
"Boy, what are you looking outside the door?" Zhou Song effortlessly lifted the little boy's collar and asked.
The little boy dodged his eyes, closed his mouth tightly, and did not utter a word.
"Speak quickly, or I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish."
Zhou Song threatened. The little boy still didn't speak, and his eyes kept glancing at the Ye family's house.
Zhou Song immediately understood that this was someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!
She put the little boy down and ran back into the room, only to see a thin man rummaging through boxes and cabinets, as if looking for something.
"I'm going to see what you can find."
Zhou Song stood silently by the door, observing the man, but after looking at it for a long time, the man didn't come up with anything.
Seeing that there was no gain, the man sneakily prepared to leave, and as soon as he turned around, he ran into Zhou Song head-on.
"Oh, this, isn't this Ogawa? Why are you back......" As soon as the man saw her, he greeted her tremblingly, and ran to the side.
Zhou Song easily grabbed the man and smiled affectionately: "This uncle finally came to visit, why is he in such a hurry to leave?" I've forgotten about you. ”
"Me! I'm your Uncle Zhang, you don't remember me so soon? ”
"Uncle Zhang?" Zhou Song didn't know this man, and he didn't want to continue to be polite with him, so he grabbed the man's hand harder, "Uncle Zhang came over today, what are you looking for?" ”
"This ...... Didn't I hear that your mother is gone, so come and have a look? I'm ashamed that your father has been gone for so many years, and he hasn't helped you much. The man who called himself "Uncle Zhang" shook his head dejectedly, looking quite sincere.
didn't dwell on it for long, Ye Xingchuan came back, and when he saw Uncle Zhang, his eyes widened, and just about to say something, he changed his words: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zhou Song saw Ye Xingchuan coming, and smiled: "Uncle Zhang said to come and see, come and say hello - Uncle Zhang, you said that you came over suddenly, and there was nothing to entertain you, I haven't seen you for so long, why don't we find a place to catch up?" ”
Uncle Zhang saw that Zhou Song was so enthusiastic that it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed.
The three of them came to a small teahouse nearby, surrounded by a lot of poor peasants, who came to drink a few pots after work.
"Oh, Xiaochuan, I had a good relationship with your father back then!"
Without saying a few words, Uncle Zhang opened the conversation.
Uncle Zhang's name is Zhang Yao, and he and Ye Xingchuan's father, Ye Yong, do fast hunting, and among all the trappers that year, they had the best relationship. Ye Yong is an upright person, and in order to subsidize his family, he often collects ill-gotten gains, but Ye Yong not only collects it, but also helps the neighbors find chickens and ducklings every day, catches thieves and thieves, and has a good reputation.
"Five years ago, a woman in the Qinglou named Yue Lang came to your father, saying that she wanted to find out the case of the Yue family back then." Zhang Yao babbled and said, "Everyone knows about that case, but if you don't say it, I advised your father not to agree at the time, but your father should inherit it, and in the end he was killed by the Zhou family!" Alas, what a pity! ”
"After your father's accident, I didn't dare to be a fast catcher, it was also a thankless job, and I was targeted by the Zhou family in a daze, do you say it's unlucky?"
Zhang Yao sighed while ordering another pot of tea from Xiao Er.
"Uncle Zhang, that Yue Lang, are you familiar with it?"
"I'm not familiar," Zhang Yao's eyes rolled, as if he thought of something, "The old couple of the Ye family are kind-hearted, the farmer's life is not good, and they have to take care of those street children, what should be known to Lao Ye, the others are not very clear." ”
"Lao Ye is really not lucky, in this world, I don't let good people live......"
The sun was skewed, and it was close to dusk, so Zhou Song and Ye Xingchuan rushed to Dayan City.
"My father was born in a peasant family, and then he married my mother, and then settled in the city, and then my father died, and my mother took me back to my mother's house."
Ye Xingchuan walked and said to Zhou Song.
"It stands to reason that your family is not rich, where did you get so much money to settle your family business in the city?"
Ye Xingchuan shook his head: "Today I went back to my father's original home to check, it has become the territory of a group of beggars." ”
The implication was that he didn't find any clues, so Zhou Song asked him for the address, so he didn't say more.
Late at night, she lightly rolled down the window, and while everyone was asleep, she went to the abandoned Lao Ye's house alone.
"Ye Xingchuan, you don't dare to check, I'll help you check." Zhou Song thought to himself.
The beggar gang has a large number of people and is spread all over the country, and the strength varies from place to place, but the beggar gang hidden in a small village like this should still be mainly begging, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The village was silent in the middle of the night, and among the neatly arranged low houses, a broken thatched hut caught Zhou Song's attention. She hid behind a nearby tree, only to see several people of different ages sleeping outside the door.
She was about to approach when she felt a stick against her back, and then one of her whispered threats, "Don't move, or I'll beat you all over the ground." ”
Zhou Song hooked the corners of his lips and said almost simply: "This little brother, you misunderstood, I was just passing by." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to be beaten, just pay me and get out of here!"
"Good good ......"
Zhou Song's hand slowly stretched out to his sleeve, and the young man behind him used a little more force: "Don't think about playing any tricks." ”
Zhou Song nodded, then took out a handful of pepper from his sleeve and sprinkled it fiercely into the young man's eyes, taking advantage of the young man's choking dizziness, she grabbed the young man's stick, locked the young man's neck, and pressed him against the tree!
"It seems that your dog-beating stick technique still needs more practice." Zhou Song said with a smile, the young man was held down by her, and it was useless to break free.
"What the hell are you here for?"
"Come and see you beggar brothers." Zhou Song snatched the stick and threw it aside, "You are honest, I promise to take care of your food." ”
The young man saw that he couldn't fight Zhou Song, so he had to agree.
Zhou Song followed the young man to check the room, and dozens of people fell to the ground crookedly, covering their bodies with various rags and thatch, and the stench was terrible.
Zhou Song covered his nose in disgust and shuttled among the beggars who were sleeping crookedly.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her ankle and tripped her to the ground!
She fell heavily between a group of beggars, and the beggar who was pulling her ankle rubbed against her, pressing her tightly, touching and talking in her sleep:
"Where did this little lady come from, okay, I haven't tasted a woman for a long time......"
"You dare!" Zhou Song was annoyed, and bent his knees and kicked the beggar down.
I didn't think that the beggar dodged lightly, and smiled seriously: "Hehe, the little lady is quite strong, I like it!" ”
The beggar was surprisingly powerful, Zhou Song couldn't dodge it at all, and he resisted desperately but to no avail.
But the beggar touched his chest and scolded: "Fuck! How is it a man?! ”
Seeing that the beggar stopped, Zhou Song just wanted to push the beggar away, but he saw the beggar being beaten aside with a punch, and Ye Xingchuan was squeezing his fists angrily and standing in front of Zhou Song.
This dozen woke up all the beggars around, and when the young man saw this, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, why are you stunned? Catch them! ”
Before Zhou Song and Ye Xingchuan could react, beggars of all sizes rushed towards them, and they had nowhere to hide!
