Chapter 39: The Mystery of Life
"Ah, I'm fine. Bai Li raised her head and glanced at Yu Chong, a trace of panic in her eyes fleeting.
Yu Zhong thought to himself: "It seems that I have said it, this white girl is also a person with a story." β
"Come on, Yu Gongzi, let's toast you again. The crowd gathered around Yu Zhong to toast, interrupting his thoughts.
The feast lasted until the end of the day, when the crowd staggered away.
"Yu Rong, you and your little sister take the gifts from the shopkeepers back to the inn first, it's already late at night, I'll give the white girl a ride." Yu Zhong said.
Yu Rong responded, his left hand and right hand were full of a large pile of porcelain gifts, and there were still a few boxes hanging on his chest.
"Little sister, you can help me get it!" Yu Rong shouted from behind.
"Big brother only let you take it, and didn't let me take it, hehe. The two of them counted each other down as they walked away.
"White girl, I'll take you home, I can't let you walk alone at night so late. Yu Zhong made a gesture of please. Bai Li didn't speak, and walked in front silently.
At night, there was silence, and occasionally dogs barking could be heard coming from the houses. The two walked side by side, but they didn't speak, they were quieter, and the rest of the silence seemed to hear the heartbeat of himself and Bai Li, fluttering and undulating.
"Yu Gongzi, do you want to know who I am?" Bai Li suddenly broke the silence, looked at Yu Zhong with hazy eyes and said.
"The white girl also said. Yu replied, in fact, he has always been curious about Bai Li's life experience.
I saw Bai Li looking at the bright moon in the sky, two lines of bright light flashed out of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks, and the two red lips touched slightly, and said, "Can I call you Brother Yu?"
"Of course you can, the white girl might as well say it directly. Yu replied.
"Brother Yu, have you heard of the Bai family's massacre ten years ago?" asked Bai Li.
Yu Zhongzhong's heart tightened, after this reminder, he remembered the Bai family manor that had stayed overnight, the desolate and dilapidated mansion, and the strong white pear tree in the courtyard, no wonder he always had an intuition, the name of this white girl seemed familiar, thinking of this, Yu Zhong couldn't help asking: "White girl, are you ......?"
"That's right, I am the only daughter of the Bai family and the last survivor. When Bai Li said this, her tears were already uncontrollable, and they slipped down like pearls, soaking through her clothes.
It was a murderous autumn night, the leaders of the martial arts alliance were plotted by a group of mysterious killers during the day, and thirty-two people were brutally slaughtered, only Bai Li, who was in the middle of the year, was rescued by an old servant Uncle Cheng who risked his life. Since then, in order to avoid pursuit, they have been living incognito in this Jingzhou city, and the two have relied on each other for their lives.
Until recently, Uncle Cheng was seriously ill, and it was difficult to treat the medicine, and he knew that he would die soon, and when he was dying, she must not take revenge. But the tragedy of his childhood family is vivid, and Bai Li has never forgotten this hatred.
"It turns out that the white girl's life experience is so miserable. Hearing that Bai Li was actually the daughter of Bai Jun, the leader of the martial arts alliance who was tragically destroyed ten years ago, Yu Zhongzhong was also shocked.
Now that Uncle Cheng has passed away, there are only two words left in Bai Li's heart - revenge.
"Is there anything I can do to help the White Maiden?" Yu Zhong asked.
"I want to find out the real culprit, and I want to avenge our Bai family. Bai Li's lips were bitten by herself, and a little blood oozed from them.
Although Bai Jun became famous when Yu Zhong was still young, he also heard about his chivalrous deeds from his family, he broke into the rivers and lakes with one knife and one sword, punished the evil and eliminated the evil, acted chivalrous and righteous, and was selfless, respected by the people in the rivers and lakes and the martial arts gang, and was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance.
"White girl, have you ever thought that the truth that you couldn't find out back then is changing now, and it's even more difficult to find out. Yu Zhong knew that it might be hard to say this, but it was a fact that had to be faced.
"Brother Yu, I know that Uncle Cheng has been tracking down the truth about my father's murder all these years, and he must have found out some clues, but he didn't tell me because he was afraid that I would seek revenge. Bai Li said.
"If that's the case, Uncle Cheng must also have his troubles, after all, you are alone, and blind revenge will only harm yourself. Yu Zhong sighed at Uncle Cheng's good intentions.
"I know that the road ahead is difficult, but if I give up, who can come to show the snow for our Bai family, and how can my father turn a blind eye in the spirit of the sky. Bai Li said hatefully.
"If the girl doesn't give up, I am willing to help the girl find out the truth of the bloody case that year, and give justice to the old seniors. Bai Li's tragic life experience has already aroused the chivalrous heart in Yu Zhongzhong.
"Brother Yu, my family's affairs actually have nothing to do with you, so why should you get involved in this matter. Bai Li looked at Yu Zhong with tears and said, she actually knew in her heart that with a powerful helper like Yu Chong, the possibility of her finding out the real murderer would be greatly increased, but he was just a passerby after all.
"Ling Zun is an old-timer admired by Wulin, he died innocently, as a junior of the rivers and lakes, it is also a matter of duty to show Xue for him. Yu Zhong said.
"Brother Yu, are you serious? The road ahead is dangerous, and there may even be a danger of life. Bai Li looked at Yu Zhong with sparkling eyes.
How did she know that Yu Chong was a chivalrous person, the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and even the powerful Cao Taiwei was overturned by him, since he had promised something, how could he retreat because of danger.
"Miss Bai, if it's really like what you said, Uncle Cheng has already found out the clues, maybe we can go to your residence to find out, maybe we can find something. Yu Zhong said.
Bai Li thought for a while and said, "Brother Yu, you're right, why didn't I think of this, then let's go back and find out." After saying that, she was in a hurry, so she took the rest of her hand and ran.
Yu Chong blushed and thought to himself: "This white girl is worthy of being a child of the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't shy away from the difference between men and women. He secretly used his internal strength, and streams of true qi continued to pass through his hands.
Bai Li only felt that a warm current came from the rest of his hand, converging on the soles of his feet, and suddenly felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and he walked like a dragonfly dotting water, which was extremely labor-saving.
The two of them galloped in the moonlight, the grass and trees along the way swept back quickly, and the midnight mist condensed into drops of dew on their hair.
After a while, the two arrived at Bai Li's door.
"Brother Yu, we're here. Only then did Bai Li realize that he had been holding Yu Zhong's hand, his face was half red, and he quickly let go of his hand.
"Well, let's go in and check if Uncle Cheng has left any clues. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Yu Zhong went straight to the point.
The two opened the courtyard door and walked into the house where Uncle Cheng lived before his death, lit the oil lamp in the house, and the dark room suddenly lit up. It's a small house, and it can be described as a house with four walls, and if you want to hide something, you're afraid that you can be seen at a glance.
Yu Zhong looked around the house, and one of them was on the beams, which were covered with dust, and it seemed that he would not hide anything. Bai Li is ping-pong rummaging through boxes and cabinets on the side.
"Brother Yu, it seems to be a letter here. Bai Li took out a cloth bag from under the mattress, opened the cloth bag, and there was a letterhead lying quietly inside, she quickly opened it, leaned under the oil lamp and read it carefully.
The letter was crumpled and crumpled, as if it had been soaked with the tears of the person who wrote it.
"Li'er, when you read this letter, I was no longer alive, Ling Zun Bai Daxia had a life-saving grace for me, so I desperately rescued you from the Bai Mansion back then, I raised you all these years, and I have long regarded you as my own, I know that you have always had a heart of revenge for the Bai family, but how can I bear to watch you be eroded by hatred, and live in the shadow of revenge in pain. In fact, I have been secretly investigating the truth of the Baifu tragedy all these years, and there are already some clues, now I am seriously ill, I am afraid that I will die soon, if I am allowed to die like this, how can I go to see the white hero under Jiuquan, I can only leave this letter to you, there is also a book of martial arts secrets in the cloth bag, the superior sword method and internal strength method recorded on it are the brainchild of your father's life, I have taught you since I was a child is the above internal strength method, but I did not teach you the moves and knife techniques, but also for fear that you will be burdened by revenge, and be angryγ Uncle Cheng hopes that you can think carefully, don't blindly seek revenge by yourself, I will find out the clues, I have written to inform the owner of Liang Xiaotian of Tiger Roaring Heights, he is your father's best friend, if you really want to find out the truth of the facts, you can go to him. The choice is up to you. Uncle Cheng, the ...... is a must."
After reading the letter, Bai Li cried into a tearful person while holding the letter and the martial arts cheats in the cloth bag, and only then did she know that Uncle Cheng had good intentions.
Yu Zhong looked distressed from the side, and didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to gently pat Bai Li's shoulder, hoping to soothe the sadness in her heart.
"White girl, what are we going to do next? Yu Zhong asked softly.
Bai Li wiped her tears, cried, and said word by word: "I'm going to Tiger Roaring Heights to find Uncle Liang, Uncle Cheng said that he knew the clues of the bloody case that year." β
"Then I'll go with you. Yu Zhong looked at Bai Li and said.
Bai Li raised his head, looked at Yu Chong's firm and gentle gaze, and couldn't help but feel a hot feeling on his face, so he quickly avoided his eyes, and said in a bit of a panic...... Brother Yu...... Then let's set off on our way tomorrow. It's late tonight, so let's go back early. β
"White girl, at the beginning of tomorrow, we will see you at the gate of the city, it is late today, and the girl will rest early. After Yu Zhong finished speaking, he made a gesture, turned around and was about to leave.
"Brother Yu, I'll send you. Bai Li sent Yu Zhong out of the courtyard gate and watched him away blankly......
