Chapter 49: Tenderness

Shizhen is a small town outside the Wugui Mountain, and most of the people in the town rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on collecting medicinal materials and hunting wild beasts on the periphery of the Wugui Mountain, and they can get by.

Russell came to Shizhen with her parents when she was a child, but her parents died before she was ten years old, but fortunately, the neighborhood took her in, ate a hundred family meals, and guarded the small courtyard left by her parents to survive.

She thought that in her life, she might find a suitable man to marry in the future, have two children, and live an ordinary life. Until that night three years ago, the man covered in blood appeared in the courtyard of her house.

The man fell straight and straight in the courtyard, covered in blood, Russell was very frightened, but instead of asking others for help, he dragged the man under the grass shed in the courtyard.

By the faint light of the candlelight, she could see the man's delicate face, white with a bewitching beauty, completely different from any man she had ever seen in Stone Town, as if she was born superior.

At the age when love first opened, I don't know what a heartbeat is, or whether it is a sight. A weak woman actually cleaned the blood stains and bandaged the wounds for him in such an absurd situation.

When the man woke up the next day, she stayed by his side and stayed awake all night.

Bi Xie, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, smiled very kindly, he was an evil monk, he was out of the house, and he didn't know when he would die in a foreign country, so of course he had to laugh if he escaped death.

Russell also smiled, she was happy that a life was preserved, and it was such a handsome life.

Bi Xie told her that he was a merchant who was walking in the mountains of no return to collect and sell medicinal herbs, and that he met robbers on the way, was injured, and tried his best to escape here, landing at her home. He said that he was seriously injured and needed to recuperate here for a while, and when he recovered, he would repay her for saving her life.

Russell thought about it and agreed to the strange man's request, she had lived alone in the yard since she was a child, and although the neighbors were kind to her, they were not relatives after all.

Now that a stranger has broken into her life, she is a little at a loss, but she gladly accepts it.

After that, for half a year, she took good care of Bi Xie, and Bi Xie got better little by little. On the day Bi Xie left, he put a healthy pill in the bowl where she drank water, and left her with enough wealth for several lifetimes of wealth.

But Russell felt stunned in the face of wealth that he had never seen in half his life, and sat at the door of the small courtyard every day, wanting to see that figure again.

Gradually, there began to be various rumors in Shizhen, saying that Luo was a wild man, and after the man had enough, he dumped her, leaving her alone to go crazy and sit at the gate of the courtyard every day.

Rumors grew, and the people of the town began to turn away from her. She would explain at first, but then she gradually became numb, and the neighbors who used to be warm and friendly to her also changed their faces one by one and stayed away from her.

On this day, Russell hung the faded sheets on the beams of the room, set up a stool and walked up, and just as she was about to end her life, the earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums sounded outside the small courtyard.

Russell seemed to hear the familiar voice calling his name in a trance, and jumped off the stool in a panic and rushed out of the yard.

In front of him, there was a handsome man in a brocade robe, the face she had been thinking about for a long time, and behind him, the phoenix was gilded, and the gongs and drums shook the sky.

"Ah Su, I'm here to marry you!"

Russell only felt that this was the happiest moment of her life, and that face with a tender smile under the sun was her destiny in this life.

……

In Shizhen, now the largest and most luxurious courtyard, there lives the famous Bi Lao family. Mrs. Bi was just an orphan in Shizhen, and after marrying Mr. Bi, she lived the life of a rich wife, carefree, which made countless girls in the town indignant.

A year ago, Mrs. Bi also gave birth to a daughter to Master Bi, which can be described as a family and prosperity.

But at this time, there was no peace in the Bifu.

Bi Xie had already changed into clean clothes outside the town and forced himself to look normal, but his pale face was still seen by Russell at a glance that something was wrong.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Russell stepped forward in a panic and helped Bi Xie around, at a loss for a while.

Bi Xie smiled softly with difficulty.

"Ah Su, I'm fine, but I met robbers on the way and was a little frightened."

"Then the husband will come into the house and rest, and I will go and prepare a hot soup for you."

Bi Xie looked at the panicked Russell in front of him, the tenderness in his heart was completely released, he reached out to hold her weak and boneless little hand, and shook his head.

"Asu, I don't have to rest, can you sit in the courtyard with me? I want to sit in the yard with you right now and soak up the sun. ”

"Okay, husband, Ah Su will accompany you, whatever you want, Ah Su will accompany you." Russell's eyes were already filled with tears, and his words were choked.

Bi Xie lay on the bamboo chair, and Russell on the side made him tea, and fed him some fruits and pastries from time to time. After a while, the maid took their crying daughter out again, Bi Xie personally picked up her daughter, looked at the little pink face in the swaddling clothes, and looked at Russell with red and swollen eyes next to him, but looking at him with a smile, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled his heart.

……

After Wang Ping and Lieshan Qianqian cleaned up the battlefield of the red-haired ghost He Teng, they followed the trail all the way to find the whereabouts of Bi Xie, at first they could barely judge the direction by relying on the slightest trace, but as the tracking progressed, the two could find more and more traces.

It's not that Bi Xie fled far away and relaxed his vigilance, but that he couldn't hold his seriously injured body anymore and didn't want to waste time on meaningless things, so Wang Ping and the others quickly tracked them all the way to the outside of Shizhen.

"That's it, big brother, the breath will stop here, he should still be in the town." Lieshan Qianqian said.

Wang Ping nodded, the owner of that aura had completely stopped hiding his traces at this moment, and in the eyes of a master like him, it was as dazzling as a lantern in the night.

"Let's go, go and meet this old man of mine."

The two walked all the way to the gate of Bifu, but the ordinary people on the street didn't seem to be able to see them, and they were still doing their own thing.

Just as they wanted to break through the door directly, a purple shadow stood in front of them.

Wang Ping frowned slightly, looked at the beautiful figure in front of him, and said with some doubts:

"Miss Ling'er, what do you mean by this? The people inside are people in the evil way, disciples of the Earth Scorpion Gate, why do you want to stop us? ”

Zi Ling'er's cold face did not fluctuate, and patiently explained:

"There are indeed evil monks in it, but not everyone is an evil monk, I just want to give mortals a chance to warm up before parting."

"Give an evil monk such an opportunity, I can only say that Ling'er girl is really innocent and pure, if he takes this opportunity to kill innocents indiscriminately, what should you do?" Wang Ping had a coldness in his eyes.

Zi Ling'er hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then continued:

"I happened to be here a while before you, and I learned some more specific information, most of the evil monks may be extremely evil, but not everyone is like this, I don't know why the school palace kills all the evil monks indiscriminately, and I am not qualified to evaluate. But as far as I know, the mistress of the house is a kind enough person. ”

At this time, the courtyard door of Bifu opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of it, and two servants followed him with a large pile of daily necessities.

The middle-aged man shouted on the street: "My wife said, these old clothes and quilts are not used in the house, so they will be distributed to the neighbors."

Ladies and gentlemen, those who lack clothes and bedding at home are here to receive them. ”

Suddenly, a group of people gathered in front of Bifu on the street, lined up one by one, waiting to receive it.

"Mrs. Bi really remembers us folks, on weekdays, we send food and clothes, some people are sick and look down on the doctor, and Mrs. Bi has to pay to help the doctor see a doctor."

"Yes, yes, Master Bi and Mrs. Bi are both good people, I think they should set up a shrine for the two of them."

……

Wang Ping looked at the scene in front of him, his face calm.

"Maybe some evil disciples are not a bad person, and they haven't done anything that hurts heaven and reason, but the person in this courtyard definitely doesn't belong to this category, I saw him murder with my own eyes, hurting the innocent, I am the one who witnessed it."

Zi Ling'er was silent, and she didn't know how to continue for a while. In her hometown, there has never been such harmony between neighbors, the various tribes fight each other, everyone in the tribe is a competitor, although she is of noble birth and is protected under the umbrella, but she is used to seeing that kind of chaos and blood, and in the face of such peace, she involuntarily wants to guard it for a while.

"I'll give Miss Ling'er this face, and after sunset, I'll take his life. Let's go. ”

"Okay, big brother."

Wang Ping is naturally not afraid of Bi Xie escaping, that breath of life is already in his last years at the moment, and it may be extinguished at any time, even if he doesn't do it, Bi Xie won't be able to last a few hours.

"Thank you!"

Zi Ling'er pursed her lips and whispered towards Wang Ping's back.

The white-clothed figure did not look back, and disappeared around the corner with the purple-striped white-clothed figure beside him.
