004-Alone Sorrow (II)

Hongwei was frightened by these words, and immediately froze in place, and the tears fell down as if they were broken. Bai Zhi sighed again and again, and persuaded: "Those who should be broken should be broken early." Otherwise, it's you who will be sad and sad. ”

Hongwei was silent, only raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, but she didn't know that the tears couldn't help but stop, how to wipe them away? In the end, she kicked the tree next to her in annoyance and shouted, "You are still crying! What are you crying for!" Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped her and took a red jade gourd from his arms, and there was a "Mu" character engraved under the gourd, which was very clear. Bai Zhidao, in today's Haiqing Mansion there is a place called Hanging Casting Haimen, this jade gourd is the object of the owner of Hanging Casting Haimen, which was obtained in his early years. With this gourd as proof, if she Hongwei has any trouble, she can ask them for help. Bai Zhi was no longer able to enter the rivers and lakes in his life, so he decided to give this thing away.

Hongwei pinched the gourd and looked at it over and over, and asked, "Did they kill people?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "They don't kill people, but they sell the weapons they use to kill." ”

"That'...... Are they fierce?"

Bai Zhi laughed and said, "Girl, as long as people walk and sit up straight, why should they be afraid of that?"

Hongwei received it in her arms stupidly, and when she looked up, she laughed again and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai." ”

Bai Zhi waved his hand and motioned for her to practice martial arts by herself, but he hesitated, walked a few steps and turned back, but there was an extra delicate short sword in his hand that was only a foot long, and came to Hongwei to signal her to look. Hongwei was curious, just because that short sword was Bai Zhi's favorite thing, and she had seen Bai Zhi play with it several times, but she had never seen him use it. Baili Mountain is the oldest in Baizhi, and Hongwei has nowhere to inquire. Now at a closer look, the sheath of this short sword can be described as very beautiful, the red paint on it still looks red, and there is a turquoise jade on the front and back. At first glance, it looks like it's the girl's thing. Hongwei smiled and asked who the short sword was.

Bai Zhi stroked the scabbard, his face still looking hesitant. In the end, he also seemed tired of struggling in his heart, so he twisted his head away and handed it to Yu Hongwei and said, "I'll send you." For self-defense. ”

Unexpectedly, Hongwei immediately laughed, took the short sword and said, "Haha, this thing is worth a lot of silver!"

Bai Zhi listened to the sound of "tsk" and said: "How can you sell it for self-defense? You girl! Alas! Don't touch that blade, it's poisonous." ”

Hongwei was so frightened that she almost threw away her sword, and asked Bai Zhi why she gave her a poisonous little sword. Bai Zhi said: "Either how to call self-defense? Although it is not to seal the throat with blood, but ......" He paused, thought carefully for a moment, and then changed his words: "In short, this little sword can only be used for life-saving purposes." Do not use this sword against the living unless absolutely necessary. ”

Hong Wei thought to herself that she couldn't deal with the living, but she still had to deal with the dead? Although she really thought so, she didn't want to ask any more, so she just asked Xiao Jian if he had a name, Bai Zhi thought for a while and said, "Poison Moon." ”

In the last few days, Bailiquan took on the role of master. Bailiquan got up at Junzi Lake every day, and waited until Hongwei lazily woke up at Chenshi, and Bailiquan grabbed her ears and reprimanded her. But she always overslept, and Bailiquan had to ask Qingfeng to prick a needle in her thigh when she got up to wake her up to practice. On the last day, she didn't have the courage to say goodbye to everyone, so she packed up her baggage and took the dates to set off before dawn.

When I opened my eyes, the sky in the east was dark, and the sky in the west was still dark. The snow-capped peaks farther away are stained with a faint golden red, and they are extremely far away. There were half-human-high weeds all around, and the wind seemed to send the cry of a wild wolf, and Hongwei led the horse to take a few steps and looked back. When it was daybreak, everyone would be busy picking up the bride, and no one would remember if she was absent from the game again. Hongwei looked at the familiar birch forest and finally cried sadly, as if she had never been wronged by this. Zao'er seemed to be fed up with her crying, so she kept walking forward, dragging her step by step faster and faster, not asking her to look at the Baili Mountain behind her. Hongwei stubbornly got up and scolded: "Stinky jujube! I've fed you for more than ten years in vain, you really have no conscience, I should have slaughtered and eaten you a long time ago!"

Zao'er ran forward as if she was not satisfied, and dragged her to the ground, and when Hongwei fell, she actually turned back and raised her hooves around Hongwei. So she sat alone on the grass and cried until dawn, and when she wiped her tears, her face was a little tingling from the wind. She shouted Zao'er, walked over quickly, got on the horse's back and told it to go away, she cried and said that she would never go back! When she was angry, she raised her hand and hit Zao'er! Zao'er slapped her a few times, and seemed to be angry, so she spread her hooves and ran for more than 30 miles in one breath. When Hongwei turned around, she didn't even know where she was. It's just that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the yellow vastness is connected with the sky. She was so small and insignificant, that she felt inferior to a white cloud in the sky.

She didn't know if she was going to Yinghe Mansion to find the family surnamed Xue, or if she was going to Haiqing Mansion to find the person who cast the sea gate in suspense to take her in as a little girl. Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help crying again. Crying and crying and feeling a little hungry, he touched some dry cakes from the horse's back and ate them, and almost choked while crying.

In the distance, a horse was slowly approaching, and on horseback sat a listless little brother looking around. When he saw Hongwei, he waved and shouted. Hongwei didn't see it when she was so preoccupied, she didn't notice it until the little brother ran closer, but it was too late, and she didn't have time to wipe her tears and startled the other party.

The young man looked about the same age as her, but he was dressed a little older, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and Hongwei scolded: "Look at what! Haven't you seen anyone cry?"

The young man hurriedly apologized, and said with some fear: "Little sister...... I just wanted to ask you for directions. ”

Hongwei was in a bad mood and said, "Ask quickly!"

The other party took a long breath and asked, "Does the young lady know how to walk Baili Mountain?"

Hongwei was excited, "Oh, so you're going to Baili Mountain?" then ......?" she said and looked back, only to see the vast wilderness, where to see the road? Could it be the will of God? Although she didn't know the road, she knew it! Immediately, her face turned clear and she laughed, and she couldn't help but say, "Let's go!"

The young man was puzzled, "Little sister...... Are you going to Baili Mountain?"

Hongwei was in a better mood and said with a smile: "Originally, it wasn't, but now it is!" said and laughed, thinking that if she returned to Baili Mountain at this time, Qingqi and they would be surprised or frightened, and they didn't even hear what the little brother next to them said. When she remembered, she turned around and asked him why he went to Baili Mountain, after all, he didn't look like he was buying saplings.

The young man didn't seem to understand what she was saying, so he only laughed and said, "I'm from Putangtan, and there is a grandfather Ma in our village, and he asked me to come to Baili Mountain to find Mr. Bailiheng." But Grandpa Ma was seriously ill and couldn't move, so they asked me to come to Baili Mountain. ”

"Oh, who is that Grandpa Ma? but Mr. Bailiheng's old friend?"

The young man shook his head and said that he didn't know, and then said, "Little sister, listen to me." Grandpa Ma was working in another old man's house. It's just that more than a dozen members of the old man's family were killed a year ago, and only this grandfather Ma was rescued. But he also spent a year in bed and woke up last month. He asked me to come to Mr. Bai Liheng to inform the old man of the murder of his family, so it was difficult to fulfill the marriage contract between Mr. Bai Liheng's son and the daughter of the old man's family, so Mr. Bai Liheng did not need to wait. When I say that, can the young lady understand?"

Hongwei immediately turned around and blocked the way in front of him, and asked sharply, "Where is the grandfather Ma you said working?"

"All I know is ...... Their surname is Xue. ”

Hongwei only felt her whole body tremble, and asked again, "All the people of the Xue family are dead?"

Seemingly frightened by her gaze, the young man was a little scared and said, "Yes, it's surnamed Xue." The neighbors of Master Xue's family helped them collect the corpses, and their family had no relatives...... It seems that he only has a marriage contract with Mr. Baili Heng in Baili Mountain...... So, when I say that, can the young lady understand?"

Baili Mountain was unprecedentedly quiet, and the hanging lanterns cast a crimson and serene light. The light mixed with the blood in the courtyard and became an extremely viscous color, and the pungent and disgusting smell kept coming with the wind. Just two hours ago, it was a lively courtyard. Now, only the slain is still lying on the dirt outside. In the lobby of the annex, the banquet is still there, and the red candles are still there, but the atmosphere has completely changed.

No one knows where they come from. Those who come kill without hesitation. Bai Zhi sat on the floor on one side of the lobby, and next to him were Qingqi and Bailiquan, although no one tied them with ropes, but no matter who they were, they couldn't move a bit. Bailiquan's eyes were still tied with the ribbon given by Hongwei, and he sat there quietly, as if he were asleep.

Today's bride, she sits upright, her red shoes are dusty, and her red skirt seems to squeeze out blood! Her hijab has not moved, hiding secrets that no one knows. She just sat there like that, for four hours from the time the men started killing. Beside her stood a man dressed in black, with his short knife hanging from his waist on the left, and something hidden under his cloak on the right. But the man's calm posture made Bai Zhi realize that they had come for a purpose this time, and they didn't know how long they had been calculating today's events. It's just that he doesn't know for what reason.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a man in shabby clothes and a knife jumped in. The first thing he said was "I can't find it!" and he shook his head as he spoke, very annoyed.

"Are you joking with us?" A middle-aged man with a beard walked in outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he twisted towards Bailiquan and said with a smile: "It's not easy to pry open the mouth of such a thin boy?"

"Let me come!" a thin man squeezed up impatiently, his two scimitars stained with undried human blood, and even his boots were stained red. But before he could make a move, the second person who came in turned to the bride and said, "The eldest lady is sitting firmly, and the Lord has not called you to put on a show." It's time for you to say something, right?"

The person next to the bride turned his head to look at him, and said, "The eldest lady's business has been done, and the people are here, so you can ask whatever you want." ”

The thin man smiled strangely, went up, grabbed Bailiquan's clothes, and shouted, "Tell me quickly, where did your old lady Zhiyang hide that treasure?"
