Chapter 290: Paying for Life Without Regrets

As the night wore on, the shadow of the moon disappeared into the light of dawn, and beside the trickling river, Lin Qi was leaning against the stones and falling asleep.

At this time, as a ray of light from the early morning shone on Lin Qi's face, a trace of warmth gradually penetrated the cold air on Lin Qi's body, and he shivered and woke up.

When he woke up, Lin Qi only felt a headache, like a nail kept drilling into his brain.

"Ah...... It hurts. ”

Lin Qi screamed softly, hugged his head and patted it, and after getting used to the headache, Lin Qi stood up with his body, and when he saw the broken wine jar at his feet, he remembered what he did last night.

"The stamina of this wine is so great. Lin Qi said as he remembered the pain of the day.

He remembered what he had seen during the day, the son of the aunt who saved his life was actually Xiao Feng who died in his hands.

"Maybe it's really just a coincidence?"

Lin Qi said to himself, so that he could also get some comfort.

"I'm still going back to take a look, maybe it's really just a misunderstanding, that's just my guess. ”

With this thought, Lin Qi decided to go back, he washed his face by the river, tidied up his bags against the river, and after tidying up, Lin Qi left the place.

This place is not far from the village, and it should not take long to reach it with Lin Qi's footsteps, but at this time, Lin Qi feels that this section of the road is extremely long, and every step requires a lot of strength to fall.

At this time, Lin Qi didn't know, he didn't know what kind of result he would get if he went, if that guess was the truth, how he would face it.

In such a state of mind, Lin Qi's speed naturally couldn't be faster.

But just as Lin Qi hesitated, his divine sense suddenly sensed a familiar sense of crisis from the sky behind him.

This feeling made Lin Qi numb all over, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and he knew that this instinctive alertness meant that a great crisis was coming towards him.

Lin Qi immediately jumped into the weeds on the side of the road, but fortunately, the weeds on the side of the road were very deep, and Lin Qi hid in it to completely cover his figure, and he would not find anything in the air.

After hiding, Lin Qi suppressed his breathing again, suppressing the breath all over his body to the extreme, even if someone passed by Lin Qi, he would not find it.

Hiding in the grass like this, Lin Qi's eyes looked at the sky.

Not long after, with the sound of the wind, two shadows gradually appeared from the sky, and as soon as the shadow appeared, it made Lin Qi frown and wrinkle.

The ones flying in from a distance were actually two guards!

"Damn, how can there be a guard here, does it mean that my whereabouts have been exposed?"

Lin Qi couldn't help but get nervous when he was shocked, and suppressed the aura on his body a lot, after all, all the guards were not bad, and he needed to be careful.

After a while, the two straight faces on the side of the sky gradually approached, and at this time, Lin Qi noticed that the two face guards had black ribbons tied around their arms.

And one of the guards was holding a black box in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Qi also wondered about the purpose of these two people.

Are they here to patrol, or have they been notified to search for me?

Lin Qi thought so, after all, the village chief before had found out his identity, and it was possible that he reported it.

However, Lin Qi thought about it again, if he really received a report from the village chief, it would not be just the two of them who came to besiege him.

The leader was puzzled, and Lin Qi watched the whereabouts of the two people.

The two guards he saw actually fell towards the location of Qingyun Village, which couldn't help but make Lin Qi's heart even more nervous.

Lin Qi hid in place and didn't intend to act rashly, and after the two guards fell for half an hour, Lin Qi saw that the two guards had come back so quickly.

And the black wooden box in the hands of the two people who came back was gone.

"What the hell did these two do? Why did they leave so quickly, well, I'd better go to the village and find out the news. ”

Thinking so, Lin Qi came out of the grass, and he walked quickly back to the village, at this time, many old people in the small village came out, and they gathered in front of the door in twos and threes and were talking about something.

But before Lin Qi walked in, those people stopped talking, and Lin Qi didn't come forward to ask what he saw, he went directly to the aunt's house that saved him.

After a while, Lin Qi walked to the door of the aunt, but at this time, Lin Qi had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He walked slowly into the courtyard, where there were many noisy footprints, and the mule in the shed was gone.

Lin Qi was puzzled, he walked into the hut, but the doors were open, but there was no one in the house, Lin Qi walked in slowly, he shouted a few times.

"Auntie, auntie, are you there, auntie?"

called a few times but did not respond, but when Lin Qi was puzzled, he noticed that the road fell on a small wooden box on the table, which made Lin Qi feel shocked.

It was the wooden box in the hand of the guard!

"Well, why is this box here?!"

Suspicious, Lin Qi stepped forward quickly, the wooden box was open, and a knife was lying quietly in it.

The sharp knife was cold, and the blood stains on it hit Lin Qi's eyes, causing Lin Qi to stay on the spot for a while.

That knife Lin Qi is naturally familiar with, and it is exactly the blade made by Wei Xiaofeng!

And there was a small note written in the box.

"The Relic of He Feng, the Purple Guardian"

Lin Qi felt a surge of blood in his heart, and his throat was sweet, leaving a line of blood on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect that this aunt was really Xiao Feng's mother!

Why, fate plays tricks on itself like this, allowing himself to kill his benefactor's son, and making himself shameless.

But on the contrary, his life was given up by others, and he couldn't die.

Let yourself experience the greatest torture of your mind in this world.

"Why save me, why save me!"

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Let me owe such a love, but I am the one who should not be saved the most." ”

Recalling that time, Xiao Feng's appearance when he begged for mercy under his sword, thinking that he was indeed concerned about his seriously ill mother, but his sword was merciless.

The angry sword is a mistake, and it cannot be repaid in the rest of your life.

If he didn't kill Xiao Feng with his sword at that time, but left with Senior Brother Fusheng, then would the leader of the Mask Guard take the potion and turn into a Kunshou Guard, Senior Brother would not die, Fusheng would not die, and he would not be here again and experience the purgatory of human affection.

Just as Lin Qi was remorseful, he heard a few heavy footsteps behind him, and Lin Qi turned around and saw that the person who came was the aunt.

At this time, the aunt's face was haggard, there were still two lines of tears left on her face, and even her hair was a lot grayer, as if the aunt had aged a lot in an instant.

The aunt didn't lose her temper when she saw Lin Qi, but said to Lin Qi calmly.

"Young man, you're back, it's good to come back, it's time to eat, let's go out and eat first." ”

As if nothing had happened, the aunt turned and walked into the kitchen, bringing out a few small bowls.

Today's cuisine is abundant, or indeed too rich for a poor man in the countryside.

There are not only fish and meat, but also mountain delicacies and matsutake mushrooms, these dishes are far beyond the limit that a person like her can bear, Lin Qi looks at these good dishes, but he has no appetite.

The aunt set the dishes in order, then took out the wine glass and poured it over, and she put the wine glass on the upper table, and then placed the wooden box on the upper table.

She looked at these dishes with blank eyes, and her mouth seemed to be talking to herself and to Lin Qi.

"My son, his favorite thing to eat is fish and meat, but he rarely eats fish and meat in his life. He said that there is a kind of mushroom, a very rare mushroom, called matsutake mushroom, I don't know where he got it, but he has been saying in my ear since I was a child that the biggest dream in my life is to eat matsutake once. ”

Listening to the aunt's slightly trembling voice, Lin Qi only felt like a fish in his throat and felt heavy.

"But I am not a good mother, and I will not be able to let him fulfill such a wish in my life. ”

As she spoke, tears flashed in the corners of her eyes, and what Lin Qi saw stopped talking.

......

"You know what? My son, dead. ”

Her voice was calm about it, and her appearance seemed calm, but Lin Qi knew that her pain had surpassed her sadness.

Lin Qi couldn't answer, he sat opposite the aunt, his head lowered and couldn't say a word.

The aunt also raised her head and looked at Lin Qi and said.

"The person who killed him is the same as you, with the same face, the same clothes, the same sword, and the same appearance near the cliff of rebirth.

Listening to the aunt's words, Lin Qi's heart tingled, and he raised his head and said slowly.

"I'm sorry, although I know that no matter how much I apologize now, you are my savior, and my life and death are up to you. ”

Lin Qi has always done things like this, just to be worthy of his heart.

If you kill the wrong person, then you can only be worthy of your heart by paying for your life with your life.

After saying that, Lin Qi suddenly knelt in front of his aunt, and he handed out the sword in his hand and put it in front of his aunt, only in this way could he repay the blood debt he owed.

"Kill me, avenge your son, I know that this anger cannot be quelled, and my life was picked up by you, and you should take it back. ”

At this point, Lin Qi lowered her head deeply, waiting for the aunt to complete her revenge.

Lin Qi waited, waiting for the cold blade to cut off his neck, this moment seemed so long, as if time had been frozen after this moment.

After waiting for a long time, it was really a long time in Lin Qi's feelings, but the sword never fell, but the aunt said softly and calmly

"I can't kill you. ”

In just a few words, Lin Qi was surprised, and he raised his head with doubts in his eyes.

There is revenge and revenge, and it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, why is there no trace of killing intent in the eyes of this aunt in front of her?

"Why? I killed your son, I deserve to die!"

The aunt shook her head gently, her eyes glancing at the black box on the seat with loving eyes, and her voice made Lin Qi's heart shake.

"I can't kill anyone, I can't kill anyone, I have accumulated good all my life just to give my son a blessing. Now although my son is dead, I can't take revenge, and if I kill you, the yin virtue I have accumulated for my son will be empty. ”

The aunt slowly stroked the box with her hand, and her sad voice pierced Lin Qi's heart.

"If you kill someone for revenge, there will be the seeds of hatred that will be left behind, and that hatred will be passed on to the next person, and there will be another avenger, and so on and so on, and hatred will never be erased. ”

Listening to the aunt's words, Lin Qi's heart was shocked.

Are you reluctant to take revenge? Is there really anyone in this world who doesn't want to take revenge?

"Why, why not take revenge, how painful you should be if you don't take revenge. ”

The aunt just stared at the wooden box, and there was no more attachment in her eyes.

She didn't answer Lin Qi's words, but Lin Qi stood up, and he drew his sword and pressed it into the aunt's hand.

"Kill me and avenge your son!"

The aunt was indifferent, just looked at Lin Qi, and at this time, Lin Qi watched the light in her eyes gradually disappear, and her body fell weakly all of a sudden.

After she fell, the aunt began to cough at a distance, and as she coughed violently, she kept coughing up blood.

Seeing that the aunt suddenly fell ill, Lin Qi leaned down, and as soon as he probed his senses, he immediately found that her life was like a candle in the wind, and it would be extinguished at any time.
