After Tang Zongjiu and a few people left Tianfeng Village, they rushed to White Lotus City.

When the wolf smoke came out of the wind village on the day, several people drove nearly half the distance.

Tianfeng Village is high, and the wolf smoke is billowing, which is very conspicuous.

"Young master, something happened!" Tang Yu also saw the wolf smoke.

A sharp light flashed in Tang Zongjiu's eyes: "Go!" Get back! ”

So, the four of them immediately ran towards Tianfeng Village, and the speed was nearly twice as fast as just now.

Suddenly, there was a flash of thunder in the sky, and the entire cloud layer began to gather, completely enveloping the night sky, and the air pressure around it gradually decreased, and the air around it seemed to be humid.

Tang Zongjiu rode his horse and galloped all the way, looking up at the sky from time to time.

A bad premonition comes from within.

"Driving ——!" Tang Zongjiu shouted with a whip.

Xiaoyou ran fast, and the trees on the side of the road were only remnants.

Soon, it began to rain in the sky.

"Driving ——!"

"Boom—" With a bang, lightning seemed to split the sky.

When Tang Zongjiu and the others came to a place less than a mile away from Tianfeng Village, they saw bloodstains.

At this time, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Looks like something really happened.

"Tang Yu went to the village, Shen Yi and Shen Er and I went to look around separately, and one of them could be saved!"

Tang Zongjiu said as he pulled up the reins and turned around.

The four of them dispersed in place.

The people of Tianfeng Village are not heinous, they are used to provoke themselves, but they can be punished with small punishments, but they are not guilty to death.

I came to Tianfeng Village today to find trouble, except for Tang Yu Shen Yi and Shen Er, there is no fifth person who knows about it.

Tang Zongjiu did not suspect Tang Yu and Shen Yi and Shen Er.

Then there is only one explanation, since this person learned that he and Shen Qi had left Beijing, he was preventing his own party from coming into contact with the people of Tianfeng Village.

So here's the problem.

How did the other party find out about this?

Tang Zongjiu didn't think that Emperor Wanzhen would publicize this matter, after all, the task of suppressing the water bandits was carried out in secret.

In other words, most of the people who can get this exact news are in the process of changing palaces.

While thinking about it, Tang Zongjiu heard the sound of weapons colliding in the distance.

Tang Zongjiu immediately galloped away towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Tang Zongjiu smelled blood.

I saw that Yan Zhanpeng was already covered in injuries at this time, and a man in black next to him fell to the ground and did not move, and there were several corpses of the Tianfeng Zhai brothers lying around.

Yan Zhanpeng's hammer was only half left, and his swollen eyes couldn't be opened normally at all.

The man in black in front of him raised his hand and stabbed down with a sword!

Tang Zongjiu kicked up a stone and shot it with enough internal force.

Only a "dang-" sound was heard, and the sword of the man in black was flicked away.

Yan Zhanpeng and the man in black turned their heads at the same time.

When Yan Zhanpeng saw Tang Zongjiu, Rao was such a tough guy, and he couldn't help but reddened his eyes at this time.

The man in black didn't expect anyone to come, he ignored Tang Zongjiu, and raised his sword again to stab Yan Zhanpeng in the chest.

Tang Zongjiu was a person, and at the same time he flashed his sword at the man in black.

The man in black had to turn to Tang Zongjiu and fight with Tang Zongjiu.

Yan Zhanpeng struggled to move himself to the corpse of his dead brother, he threw away the hammer and reached out to cover the brother's eyes.

Then, little by little, he moved his body to the corpse of another brother, and likewise, closed his eyes.

Until he moved to the last brother.

He removed the strip of cloth that was tied to the man's forehead.

The rain slapped on Yan Zhanpeng's face, and the strip of cloth, which was originally yellow, had now been soaked in blood and turned orange.

No matter how much the blood stains are washed away by the rain, they can't be wiped clean.

Yan Zhanpeng's lips couldn't stop shaking, he closed Brother Cloth's eyes and tied the strip of cloth to his forehead.

They Tianfeng Village has been established for nearly 20 years, and in the past 20 years, they have taken in many homeless orphans, as young as 10 years old, and as old as 50 years old lonely and widowed old people.

They don't steal or rob, they do things for the imperial capital and the big families in the nearby cities like White Lotus, and get some commissions to get by.

The court knew about their existence, but it had been safe for twenty years.

I didn't think there would be a catastrophe today.

There are more than 150 people in Tianfeng Village, and Yan Zhanpeng doesn't know how many people can live besides him.

Yan Zhanpeng fell on the body of the cloth strip man and sobbed.

"Poof—"

The sound of a sword entering his body came, and the man in black was pierced through the heart by Tang Zongjiu's sword and died on the spot.

In the pouring rain, the strong man cried.

Tang Zongjiu's boots made a sound in the rain, and he walked up to Yan Zhanpeng step by step.

Yan Zhanpeng raised his arm to wipe away his tears, took out a stack of letters from his arms and threw them to Tang Zongjiu.

Tang Zongjiu took it, at this moment the stack of letters had been soaked with rain and blood, and he didn't know if the ink in it had melted, but Tang Zongjiu didn't care.

He put the letter in his arms and stretched out his hand to Yan Zhanpeng.

"Get up."

Yan Zhanpeng's eyes were soaked scarlet, and he didn't know if it was because of the rain or because of tears.

He stretched out his hand and shook Tang Zongjiu's hand.

Tang Zongjiu used his strength to pull Yan Zhanpeng up.

He whistled into the air, and Xiao You stepped in front of the two of them with its vigorous steps.

Tang Zongjiu put Yan Zhanpeng on Xiaoyou, "drove", and he flew towards Tianfeng Village with light skills.

Soon, the two came to Tianfeng Village.

At this time, Tang Yu, Shen Yi and Shen Er had already arrived at the stockade.

The stockade that was still alive and well before has now become a mass grave.

More than a hundred corpses were stacked into a mountain, and the entire ground of Tianfeng Village was covered with blood, and the smell of blood was so strong that it attracted all the beasts around it.

The first to appear were a few crows.

After Shen Yi drove the crows away, they fell silent for a while in front of the pile of corpses.

Yan Zhanpeng struggled to roll off Xiaoyou, he couldn't support his body at all, and he was about to fall to the ground.

Tang Zongjiu grabbed him and helped him slowly approach the corpse.

"Ah......" Yan Zhanpeng choked a little bit in his mouth every time he got closer.

He knows every person, every face, and knows the character of each of them.

There are bold, cowardly, organic, and honest......

But none of these people, when faced with death, flinched.

"Ah......h

Yan Zhanpeng's mind was full of the years he had spent with them, and all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows flashed as if they were a marquee.

"Ah......h

Yan Zhanpeng burst into tears and couldn't make a sound.

Why did he die?

Why are they all dead?

How can they all die like this?!

When Yan Zhanpeng took the last step, he pounced on these people.

"Ah————!h

He roared.

The cries of pain were drowned out by the thunder, and seemed so insignificant.

"Ah————!h

Yan Zhanpeng stretched out his arms and wanted to pick them all up, but he couldn't.

He was so badly injured that he couldn't even stand on his feet, so how could he encircle all these more than 100 corpses?

Yan Zhanpeng cried loudly, and the pain was unbearable.

At this moment, a cowardly voice suddenly appeared next to Yan Zhanpeng's ears.

"Boss ......"

Yan Zhanpeng turned his head suddenly.

It was a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.

"Xiaoyu?!" Yan Zhanpeng's eyes were moist at the moment, and he couldn't see anyone clearly, so he desperately wiped the water off his eyes.

The child's face was covered in mud, the skin on his hands was torn several layers, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Xiaoyu!!" Yan Zhanpeng staggered to Xiao Yu and hugged Xiao Yu who was trembling in the rain.

"Boss!" Xiao Yu cried violently, "Ah——! Boss, they're all dead——! ”

Xiao Yu's cry hit the softest place in Yan Zhanpeng's heart, and he also choked up.

But he could not be in pain, and the duty of a man told him that he had to hold up at this time.

"I'm here, I'm not dead, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here." Yan Zhanpeng comforted the young man.

After calming down for a while, Yan Zhanpeng turned his head to look at Tang Zongjiu and thanked the others: "Thank you for saving Xiaoyu." ”

Tang Yu shook his head: "It's his own cleverness that hides in the pile of corpses and pretends to be dead." ”

"Good! Good! Xiaoyu is smart and a brave child! Yan Zhanpeng sobbed with relief, and kept stroking Xiaoyu's head.

In any case, as long as there is one person alive, it will be a godsend of luck for Yan Zhanpeng.

Xiao Yu grabbed Yan Zhanpeng's clothes with both hands, and his terrible cry resounded in the sky.

The rain continued to crackle.

Tang Zongjiu and the four of them stood aside, not disturbing them, but just kept driving away the beasts that smelled blood.

It wasn't until Xiao Yu's crying gradually subsided and he fell asleep in Yan Zhanpeng's arms that Yan Zhanpeng got up.

But Yan Zhanpeng himself was also seriously injured, and some of the wounds even began to glow with thick water because of the rain.

He had to be healed immediately, and there was no time left for Tang Zong to drink.

And just then, the rain finally stopped.

"These bodies must be cremated, or there will be an epidemic." Tang Zongjiu said.

Yan Zhanpeng nodded: "When people die, the lights go out, Tianfeng Village doesn't have so many rules, there is a wine cellar in front of it, and there is a lot of wine stored in it, which is enough to cremate these corpses." ”

The barrels have to be moved, the corpses have to be moved, no matter how you look at it, it is a big project.

"You go and rest." Tang Zongjiu said.

"I have to put my brothers' bodies in place and send them on their last ride." Yan Zhanpeng didn't move wine, but he had to get the bodies of his dead brothers in Tianfeng Village right anyway.

Yan Zhanpeng dragged his bleeding body, and he didn't move to take a look.

"This is Lao Wang, this is Xiao Ding, this is Uncle An, this is Lao Li......"

He recognized each of them, and then sprinkled the wine on the corpse from beginning to end, making sure that no one was missed.

"Originally, I said that we would go up to the mountains to hunt together for a while, and barbecue and eat together at night, but now I can only invite you to drink." Yan Zhanpeng said to the corpse.

He took out a handful of fire folds, and with a "click-" sound, lit a fire.

"If you are willing to wait for me, when Lao Tzu avenges you, I will go down to find you, if you can't wait, it doesn't matter, reincarnate well, the next life will ......" Yan Zhanpeng sniffed, "The next life ......"

For a moment, the fire burst into the sky, making a "crackling" sound.

"Afterlife...... We are still brothers, and when the time comes, we will practice martial arts well and never be bullied again! ”

Soon, the fire spread, burning more and more fiercely.

Yan Zhanpeng stood in front of the corpses, he withdrew his tears, the fire was imprinted in his dark eyes, and the orange-yellow fire flickered on his eyes.

An hour later, Yan Zhanpeng took Xiao Yu and Tang Zongjiu back to White Lotus City.

As soon as he entered the city, the news of the accident in Tianfeng Village had already spread.

"It is said that there are more than 100 corpses, and not a single one is alive."

"Oh my God, what kind of grievance is going to destroy the whole village?"

"I heard that I messed with someone who shouldn't be messed with."

"When the prefect sent someone, it seemed that the corpse was almost burned."

"Sure enough, this kind of Jianghu sect is really scary."

Tang Zongjiu and the others were drenched in the rain all night, and they were covered in blood and embarrassment, so they did not choose to walk from the main entrance, but walked over the wall and on the path.

As soon as he entered the back door, he collided with Shen Qi, who had just gotten up.

After Shen Qi got up, Su Fang entered the house and said that a guest had left the room, and the store asked us if we wanted a room?

It must be good to have a room, so Shen Qi went downstairs with Su Fang to book the room.

Shen Qi had just set the room when she returned to the backyard, and she didn't see Tang Zongjiu along the way, so she thought that Tang Zongjiu had gone out for something.

Unexpectedly, she expected to go out, expected that something would happen, but she didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Even Shen Qi had heard of the destruction of Tianfeng Village, and he was still a little surprised when he saw the six people who were fluttering in the wind at this moment.

"Am I missing something?" Shen Qi's gaze swept back and forth over several people, and then stopped on Tang Zongjiu.

At this time, Yan Zhanpeng couldn't bear it anymore, so Shen Yi took the people and Xiaoyu to the room that had just been set.

"Su Fang, Mama Li, Siwan, come and help!" Shen Qi shouted to the room on the second floor, "Shen San, go find the doctor." ”

"What's going on?" After Shen Qi finished speaking, he asked Tang Zongjiu.

"Last night......" As soon as Tang Zongjiu spoke, he was interrupted by Shen Qi.

"Ah, forget it, go freshen up, don't get sick." Shen Qi pushed Tang Zongjiu and walked into the house, "Go quickly, let's talk about something later." ”

"Okay." Tang Zong said with a smile.

After arranging Tang Zong's wine, Shen Qi came to Yan Zhanpeng's room.

Inside the house, Mama Li was taking care of the small ones, and Su Fang and Qin Siwan were taking care of the big ones.

Everyone was busy, and Shen Qi felt that she couldn't be idle, so she called Su Fang: "Su Fang, come, follow me to the kitchen." ”

Su Fang stopped what she was doing when she heard this.

"Go, go, go," Qin Siwan shook her hand, "The young lady's matter is important, I can do it alone here." ”

Shen Qi pulled Su Fang, who stepped out of the room: "Fangfang, let's go, you take me to cook ginger soup." After a while, the horses, Tang Yu, Shen Yi, Shen Er, and a few of them have to drink, don't they? ”

"Ah, yes." Su Fang responded.

"Fangfang, you teach me how to cook ginger soup, I want to cook a bowl for the horse myself." Shen Qi said.

The two went to the kitchen.

"Miss, it's not difficult to cook ginger soup." Su Fang washed her hands and said, "Let's pick ginger first." ”

In private, Su Fang still calls Shen Qi "Miss".

Shen Qi nodded and washed his hands.

"How to pick?" Shen Qi looked at the table full of ginger and didn't know where to start.

"Miss, you see, it's dark yellow like this, it's not particularly big, it looks rough, the lines are relatively heavy, and there are no shoots, it's fine." Su Fang took out a piece of ginger and said.

Shen Qi took a closer look at it and picked a similar one from the side: "Is this okay?" ”

"Yes." Su Fang put the ginger in Shen Qi's hand on the board, "Then, slice the ginger." ”

"I'm coming!" Shen Qi volunteered, fixed ginger with one hand, and raised the knife with the other.

"Miss, you have to be careful, size doesn't matter, don't cut your hands." Su Fang admonished.

"I'll be careful......" Shen Qi bent down, his eyes staring straight at where the blade touched the ginger.

"Click-" and cut a slice.

"How many slices do you want to cut?" Shen Qi asked.

"Four or five." Su Fang said.

Shen Qi was engrossed in slicing, although it was only a few knives, aiming, fixing, and slashing, which was very exhausting for a person like Shen Qi who had never cooked.

Finally, the ginger slices are cut.

"Then let's boil the water again," Su Fang turned on the stove, "wait for the water to boil, and then put the ginger slices in it, and that's it." ”

"Is it that simple?" Shen Qi asked.

"Yes, it's not difficult to cook ginger soup, miss." Su Fang said with a smile.

"After that, I cooked every bowl of ginger soup in Tang Zongjiu, hehe." Shen Qi also said with a smile.

"Miss is really good to my uncle." Su Fang followed.

"Okay?" Shen Qi was a little bitter.

She is not good at Tang Zongjiu, or rather, this is far from enough.

She owes Tang Zong wine, and she hasn't paid it off, so what's better?

At present, all this is what she should do for him.

Soon, the water boiled.

Shen Qi picked up a bowl and poured boiling water into the bowl.

"Miss! Beware of hot hands! Su Fang reminded on the side.

But Shen Qi is really inexperienced, the posture of holding the bowl in her hand is wrong, she is obviously prepared, but the moment the boiling water is poured into the bowl, she is still burned.

"Ahh

Shen Qi snorted softly.

"Bang-"

The bowl shattered to the ground.

"Miss! Are you okay? Su Fang immediately became nervous.

"It's okay, it's just that your fingers may be hot." Shen Qi smiled bitterly.

She couldn't even make a bowl of boiling water.

"Slave and maid, look at it."

Su Fang shook Shen Qi's hand, and saw that the onion-like jade hand suddenly became red and swollen.

"The slave and maid will bring you cold water to flush it." Su Fang ran to the bucket on the side, took out a bowl of water, came to Shen Qi, and gently soaked Shen Qi's red and swollen fingers in the cold water for a while.

"How can I be so delicate." Shen Qi said, "Don't be too nervous, let's put the ginger slices in quickly, it will be cold after a while." ”

Shen Qi withdrew his hand, not caring at all about his burns.

She filled another bowl of boiling water, which this time didn't get burned again, and then rinsed her sliced ginger and put it in.

"Is that all right?" Shen Qi asked.

"It's good, you can drink it directly after serving it for a while, ginger soup to ward off the cold, you have to drink it while it's hot." Su Fang said.

"Let's go, let's go up." Shen Qi said.

When Shen Qi held the plate in her hand and stared at the bowl with her eyes, in order to prevent the ginger soup from spilling out, she walked cautiously, so she didn't notice Tang Zongjiu, who had finished grooming and also came to the backyard.

Tang Zongjiu saw Shen Qi holding a dinner plate for the first time, and felt novel, and her concentrated appearance was even more rare.

Obviously, Shen Qi couldn't notice the water stains under his feet.

"Shu Ning, be careful!" Tang Zongjiu reminded.

"Ahh Shen Qi's thoughts were all on the ginger soup, and he was startled by Tang Zongjiu's sudden sound, and stepped on the water stains, and the whole person suddenly fell backwards with unstable center.

"My ginger soup!"

Shen Qi's wrestling is small, and ginger soup is spilled!
