Chapter 74: Assassination in the Night
Meng Chuanqing saw that the water chain was a little unnatural, and opened her mouth to persuade: "You haven't done anything wrong, why do you care what I think of you?" [Full text reading.]
"I ...... Don't you think I'm hypocritical? After all, I used to be able to save everything. ”
Meng Chuanqing said: "When you saved me, I wanted to ask, is there any sad past for a person to save people so desperately and selflessly, otherwise, how could she sacrifice herself like a saint? Everyone has a selfish side, if even this right is lost, it must not be the real self." I think that you are the most real now. ”
"Thank you, it was really warm to talk to you. The water chain smiled warmly.
The two were talking, and saw a sedan chair coming from the street from a distance, Meng Chuanqing couldn't help frowning, "Is it her?" glanced at Huo Chunqiu in the Flying Dragon Introduction, thoughtfully.
Huo Yanhua got out of the sedan chair, her face was solemn, and she directly lifted her skirt and entered the flying dragon to lead her to Huo Chunqiu. Within a moment, Huo Chunqiu came out with her, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. The brother and sister sat in a sedan chair and left.
When Meng Chuanqing entered the house, he listened to Nan Wushi: "That girl said that Mrs. Huo was seriously ill, so let Chunqiu go back and see her." I'm not the kind of person who is unreasonable, so I gave Huo Xiaozi a few days off. In that case, you'll be busy. Nan Wushi glanced at Meng Chuanqing meaningfully, and went straight upstairs.
"Seriously ill?" Meng Chuanqing was a little puzzled, how could it be so coincidental?
Huo Chunqiu's departure did not have much impact on Feilong Yin, and everyone was still busy with their own work, so it was not comfortable. Zhuang Fulou seems to plan to live here for a long time, he has nothing to do every day, except for practicing swords and reading books, that is, helping Shui Lian run errands. After a few days, they have been peaceful.
At noon the next day, Shui Lianhuan was about to close the stall and go in for dinner, when a young man came in the dust and knelt down in front of her. Shui Lianhuan helped him up, and after careful questioning, he learned that the young man's mother was seriously ill, and the doctor within a radius of 100 miles had no one to save him.
"Where is your home?"
"The town of Luohe. The young man's words made Shui Lianlian surprised and made Zhang unable to speak. How far Luohe Town is, this young man really has perseverance.
"Divine doctor, please, go and save my mother. She's really dying. The boy cried a handful of snot and tears.
Shui Lianlian couldn't bear it, and felt that the patients in the town were almost treated, so he packed up his baggage and left with the boy. Behind him, Zhuang Fulou looked at the backs of the two, his tense face soothed, and he seemed to be relieved.
He is bent on protecting the water chain and wants her to stay away from the flying dragon to cause this dispute, but he doesn't know that it is difficult to disobey the will of God. The catastrophe led by the flying dragon was already doomed in the dark, and no one could escape from what it should face.
After Huo Chunqiu went back with Huo Yanhua, he saw Mrs. Huo who was seriously injured in bed. Hit hard by the Remnant Yang Sword, Mrs. Huo's injuries were quite serious, and she could barely get out of bed. In addition to daily pranayama, she also took a lot of tonic medicine, but it has not improved. Huo Jinshan hired several doctors for her, but they were helpless.
Huo Chunqiu thought of the miraculous doctor water chain, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Huo refused after hearing it, refusing to let others see a doctor for herself. She knew in her heart that her injuries could only be treated by people in the martial arts with profound skills, how could ordinary doctors understand?
Huo Chunqiu always felt that Shui Lianhuan was not an ordinary doctor. So, despite their mother's opposition, the brother and sister secretly went to the flying dragon to find the water chain.
"Mother said that ordinary doctors can't save her at all, and I hope that little doctor really has some skills. Huo Yanhua had also heard of the name of the miracle doctor, but she was still a little worried.
"Oh, sister, don't worry, that little miracle doctor is amazing. Huo Chunqiu didn't have much to do with Shui Lianhuan, and his trust in her was based on the long queue like a dragon during the free clinic.
"Huh, isn't that the miracle doctor you said? She's leaving here?" Huo Yanhua lifted the sedan curtain and just saw Shui Lianhuan walking by. On that day, after a quick glance at the flying dragon, I still had some impressions of her.
Huo Chunqiu got out of the sedan chair and stopped the water chain. Knowing that she was about to leave Wuling Town, she hurriedly said, "Can you see a doctor for my mother before leaving?"
"No!" Huo Chunqiu said before he spoke, and the young man rushed to say: "I invited the divine doctor, so naturally I went to see my mother first." ”
Huo Yanhua was a little strange, glanced at him, and suddenly said, "You really asked a divine doctor to see a doctor?"
The young man's eyes flashed, and he said toughly: "Of course! Why else should I invite her to go?"
Huo Yanhua said: "You said that you came from Luohe Town, but the clothes on your body are bright and bright, and you don't look like a person who travels far away. Besides, why don't you carry a burden when you go out of the door so far?"
Huo Yanhua pointed out the flaws in the young man's body. Shui Lianhuan suddenly understood, stared at the boy and said, "Why did you lie to me?"
When the young man saw the three people in front of him looking at him with fierce eyes, he suddenly felt a little empty, and honestly said: "It was a son who asked me to trick you into leaving here, and he gave me twenty taels of silver." ”
Shui Lianhuan was surprised: "What does that person look like?"
"He was a tall young man, skinny, and he looked quite grim. ”
"It's that kid!" Huo Chunqiu couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Why is he so lacking!"
"Who?" Huo Yanhua looked at him.
"It's Big Brother. "Shui Lianhuan understands Zhuang Fulou's intentions.
They are all thinking about each other, and they don't want each other to be involved in the unknown catastrophe of the Flying Dragon. He tried his best to trick himself into leaving, because he knew that he would not leave easily, and only a patient could shake her. "Senior brother, you are thinking about me, have you ever thought about yourself, why am I not worried about you?"
"You go back and tell that boy that I have left Wuling Town. He won't embarrass you. The water chain told the boy to leave. After that, she went to Huofu with her brother and sister.
The water chain left, and Meng Chuanqing had no idea. After he finished his work in the backyard, he saw Zhuang Fulou sitting at the table talking to a young man, and vaguely heard the conversation of "I left, I worked hard for you", as if he was telling the young man to do something.
He didn't think much about it and went straight to the kitchen, but he didn't expect it to be empty. Flip open the lid of the pot, grab a steamed bun and nibble on it, lately, he has always been hungry very fast.
When Raussangxin came in through the window, she saw Meng Chuanqing with her back to the window, and she watched quietly as the man nibbled on steamed buns one by one. It wasn't until Meng Chuanqing finished eating one and reached out to grab the second one that she suddenly stepped forward and pressed Meng Chuanqing's hand with the lid of the pot.
Although Meng Chuanqing had already found out about her arrival, he could only pretend and hurriedly shouted: "Scalded!"
A different color flashed on Lao Sangxin's face, took off the lid of the pot, and said lightly: "You have already eaten three steamed buns today." ”
Meng Chuanqing covered his red hands, blew on his breath, and said, "It's clear that it's taking, where is there stealing." ”
"Are you a pig, eat so much!" said Lausanne.
Meng Chuanqing looked at the cold-faced woman in front of him, and was silent for a while. This Raussan heart is not kind to himself, and he is directed at me everywhere, and he thinks that he has not been wary of me. For the sake of temptation, he shot so viciously that he did not hesitate to burn me. With such a strong sense of defense, sooner or later she will see through it, and it seems that she can't get too close to her.
"The soup in your pot is almost mushy!" Meng Chuanqing didn't want to be scolded by her in vain, and her black nature was exposed, which successfully caused Lao Sang's heart to turn his head. Then taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he grabbed two steamed buns and ran away.
Behind him, Raussang's face turned pale, and he said to himself: "Tonight, I want a definite result! Everyone here can't let go!"
In the evening, Lao Sangxin came to Zhuang Fulou's room and personally delivered a bowl of soup. Zhuang Fulou was pleasantly surprised, he was not guarded, he drank it directly, and fell into the room the next moment.
Soon after, the inn closed, and Meng Chuanqing closed the door.
"Wait!" a woman's voice came from outside the door, which made Meng Chuanqing stunned. If you heard it right, that voice just now was my sister?
He didn't say anything, and then heard the woman say, "Boss, it's getting late, can you keep me staying here for the night?"
At this time, Meng Chuanqing had already affirmed that the person outside was his sister Meng Chuanxin. He was all too familiar with that voice. It's just that why is my sister here? The wind was gusting outside, and Meng Chuanqing really couldn't bear to let Meng Chuanxin stay outside for too long, so he had to open the door and let her in.
Meng Chuanxin's white clothes had been stained with a lot of dust, her hair was messy, floating behind her ears, her face was pale, and she thanked Meng Chuanqing after she entered the door. Meng Chuanqing saw that her sister was so haggard, she was extremely sad, and she couldn't wait to step forward and hug her immediately.
Meng Chuanxin glanced at him and said, "Little brother, I'll rest here for one night and then leave." She took out a piece of silver and handed it to Meng Chuanqing.
Meng Chuanqing settled down, held back his sadness, happily accepted the silver, and said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare a room for you." He didn't dare to confront Meng Chuanxin head-on, he was afraid that Meng Chuanxin would recognize him. Now, it's not the time to recognize each other.
Meng Chuanxin went upstairs with Meng Chuanqing, and happened to meet Lao Sangxin.
"Xiao Meng, how can there be any guests?" Lao Sang looked at Meng Chuanxin and became defensive. She had never seen this eldest lady of Wulin Village, but she could see that this woman was also stunning. Who is this person, and will it affect his plans?
"yes, the last one. Meng Chuanqing coped.
Meng Chuanxin was also as careful as a hair, and felt the breath of a martial artist on Lao Sangxin's body, but she had never been nosy, she just glanced at Lao Sangxin lightly, and followed Meng Chuanxin into the house.
"Little brother, have you ever seen this person?" Meng Chuanqing cleaned up the room, and as soon as he turned around, Meng Chuanxin asked him with a portrait.
Looking at the portrait of himself and Meng Chuanxin's eager eyes, Meng Chuanqing almost blurted out that sister, but he still held back at the last moment. He took the portrait, looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but smile. This must have been drawn by my sister herself.
The two of them have had a deep relationship since childhood, often learning from Danqing, exchanging pen and ink, and their calligraphy and painting have already reached the peak. Meng Chuanqing on the painting, whether it is demeanor or appearance, is completely integrated with the real person and has no flaws. It's just that, sister, what you paint is the most real me in your mind, how do you know that I will reveal this truth in front of others? So, you must have worked hard to find it, right?
Seeing Meng Chuanqing smiling, Meng Chuanxin asked eagerly, "Have you seen him?"
"I haven't seen it. Meng Chuanqing returned the painting to Meng Chuanxin and said, "This portrait is too wrinkled, many people must have seen it." I haven't found it yet, so I guess I can't find it. Meng Chuanqing shook his head and sighed, and slowly walked out of the room.
"Wait. Meng Chuanxin stopped him at the moment he closed the door, "You go and prepare the four treasures of the study room for me." I'm going to draw a new one. Meng Chuanqing was dumbfounded, he just wanted his sister to give up looking for him......
Meng Chuanqing gave the four treasures to Meng Chuanxin, and went back to the room to rest. Along the way, he was thinking about whether to recognize Meng Chuanxin. He didn't want to expose himself so early, but he didn't want Meng Chuanxin to worry about him. Seeing Meng Chuanxin running around looking for him and losing a lot of weight, he actually felt a sense of guilt. His sister treats him so well, how can he deceive her?
Thinking like this, I unconsciously arrived in front of my room. He opened the door carelessly, and the oncoming sword qi quickly made him unable to dodge. Just as he was about to fight back, a person suddenly flashed behind him and pulled him aside.
Meng Chuanqing leaned against the wall, watching Nan Wushi fighting with the black-clothed assassin in the house, and his heart was inexplicable. This black-clothed man has excellent swordsmanship, one move and one style, ruthless and resolute, and he looks like he wants to put the other party without death. He was sure that this man had not fought with him, so why did he come here?
The man in black turned around and danced his sword, and the sword light spread out in the room like a candle cut glass, and in an instant, the house was in a mess. Nan Wushi was not an empty-handed enemy, she jumped off the beam with a sword in her hand, and slashed at the man in black, with strange moves, comparable to him.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?" Surprised by Nan Wushi's martial arts, Meng Chuanqing had a strange feeling in his heart, as if this swordsmanship was familiar. Nan Wushi used an ordinary sword, and the sword body was faintly glowing with blue light, which seemed to be caused by internal forces. In this way, the sword becomes sharper. While resisting the opponent's long sword, it also forced him to retreat.
The man in black jumped back suddenly, holding the sword in both hands, giving birth to a phantom, and the three swords were combined into one, hitting Nan Wushi's chest directly. This move surprised both Nan Wushi and Meng Chuanqing.
"How is this move so similar to Lao Sangxin's swordsmanship?" Meng Chuanqing muttered to himself. On that day, Lao Sangxin and Zhuang Fulou fought in the alliance leader's mansion, and he had seen Lao Sangxin use the same trick. Could this man have something to do with Laussang?
Nan Wushi suddenly put down his sword and shouted, "Mo Tiandu!" The man in black was stunned for a moment, and continued to swing his sword at her.
Nan Wushi kept dodging, and countless thoughts had flashed through his mind. This person must be Mo Tiandu! That day, at the foot of the farmer's mountain, she fought with this person, and every move showed the shadow of the original. At that time, he and Raussan Xin seriously injured her, and she still remembers it vividly. He directly attacked Xiao Meng, obviously he came prepared, could it be that the purpose of Lao Sangxin's coming here was actually for Xiao Meng?
Thinking of this, Nan Wushi's eyes suddenly became fierce, she was desperate to protect Meng Chuanqing, and waved her sword to block it, preventing the other party from approaching the door. And Meng Chuanqing, who was outside the door, muttered, "Mo Tiandu, why is this name so familiar?"
"Ahh......h
