With the darkness of the night, Liu Duan took Liu Shuibi all the way through several streets and alleys in Liusha Town, until in front of an old and dilapidated temple, Liu Duan was relieved to let Liu Shuibi rest inside.

At that time, Liu Duan lit a fire in the temple and prepared some food, after all, after returning from the field for a few days, Liu Shuibi was sluggish, and she had not eaten enough for a few days, Liu Duan knew that she was tired and hungry at this time.

"Thank you......" Liu Shuibi said while chewing on the cold steamed buns, crying.

"Sister Shui, you're thirsty, I'll get you some water......" Liu Duan showed a very concerned look about Liu Shuibi, and smiled slightly.

"Thank you......" Liu Shuibi still repeated what she had just said, but the tears in the corners of her eyes were dripping more and more.

"What the hell is going on......" After all, he didn't go with Lu Huan and Liu Shuibi, Liu Duan was very concerned about the safety of Xiao Tian and Su Jia, and couldn't help asking, "Listen to them, you took the men and horses to hunt down Brother Xiao and Miss Su...... In the end, what happened to the result......"

Liu Shuibi chewed the steamed bun and choked for a long time, and then said silently: "I chased it for almost a month, and I chased it all the way to Plum Blossom Villa...... Who would have thought that that kid had learned peerless swordsmanship and had the help of a mysterious master, and my master couldn't settle the ......"

"Then, why is it only Sister Shui, you came back, and you didn't see your brother Liu Jinquan......" Liu Duan continued to ask with concern.

"My brother is missing, and Master doesn't want me anymore......" At the mention of this, Liu Shuibi seemed to be extremely sad and lonely, buried her head under her dirty knees, and said sadly, "I am now alone, back to this Liusha Town...... The former prosperity is gone, and the vast majority of the goshawk faction has also left because of this, and now only I am left...... I'm the only ...... left."

Looking at Liu Shuibi's sad appearance, Liu Duan's heart softened - to be honest, Liu Duan's growth is so big, and he has never had a love for a woman, but seeing Liu Shuibi's pity tonight, Liu Duan's heart has a faint feeling of compassion.

"It's all Xiao Tian and Su Jia, it's all the two ......of them," Liu Shuibi continued to cry, "If it weren't for them, so many things wouldn't have happened in Liusha Town...... Without them, my brother wouldn't have disappeared...... If it weren't for them, my master wouldn't have left me......"

"Are you blaming the two of them......" Liu Duan thought about it, then calmed down and said, "But in the eyes of the people of Liusha Town, the two of them are heroes......"

"It means that what my brother and I did before was heinous in your eyes, right......" Liu Shuibi looked very dazed in front of right and wrong, and cried.

"I didn't mean that......" Liu Duan found himself a little confused when he spoke, on the one hand, he was his best brother, and on the other hand, he was the woman he was caring about now, and he didn't want to let go of either side.

"I know, like Xiao Tian Sujia, you regard me and my brother as wicked people...... "Liu Shuibi continued to cry, "I also know what my brother and I used to do...... Anything is good, whatever you think, in your eyes, I am just a woman who deserves it, and this is the end I deserve......"

"Why do you say that? Everyone has a good and evil side, and the key is that you can't be depressed because of a momentary downfall......," Liu Duan continued to care.

"We're back—" However, while Liu Duan was comforting Liu Shuibi, a few sturdy men came back outside the temple, and it seemed that they were very good brothers with Liu Duan.

"Oh, you're back...... Liu Duan came back to his senses, turned around and asked, "How is the situation outside today, it's nothing serious, right?"

"Today's law and order situation is good, after the disbandment of the 'Goshawk Faction', many people have returned to their ......respective homes," one of them reported, "It's just a few people who are causing trouble in the town, as well as those bandits from the original Zhu Yi faction, taking advantage of the fall of the Liu Jinquan brothers and sisters, to wantonly oppress the people......

"Didn't you stop it?" Liu Duan couldn't help but ask with concern when he heard this.

"Of course there is, but with our manpower, it's not enough at all......," the other continued, "Brother Liu Duan, I know that you want to revive the 'Goshawk Faction' and gather righteous brothers to protect this town...... But now that the personnel have just been disbanded, everything is a mess, Xiao Shaoxia and Miss Su have only been away for a month, and many situations here are still very complicated, and they can't be solved in a day or two......"

As he was talking, everyone couldn't help but glance at it, and they found Liu Shuibi sitting on the ground very weak.

"Why is this woman here?" Soon, these people cast bad looks at Liu Shuibi, as if they regarded her as an enemy, and reprimanded her on the side.

"Well, she's ......" Liu Duan wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

And Liu Shuibi seemed to have expected it, and when she heard these words that seemed to attack herself, she just clasped her hands and feet on the side and was silent.

"How can a woman like you still have the face to stay in this place......" Sure enough, one of the brothers said very unceremoniously, "It is because of you and your brother Liu Jinquan that Liusha Town has become what it is now...... Just like Brother Liu Duan said, you have oppressed the people, done all kinds of evil, and made this Liusha Town into a miasma; you had wiped out the Zhuyi faction and hoped that you would live a good life for two days, but you didn't want you to intensify and do countless bad things, which is simply unforgivable!"

This sentence sounded very mean, Liu Shuibi heard it, and his heart was extremely painful, and he curled up in the corner and did not dare to make a sound, and the tears in the corners of his eyes continued to flow.

"Crying, now I know that I cried......" The other person looked at Liu Shuibi's tearful appearance, and did not pity the jade at all, "You have done so many things that have lost your conscience before, why don't you want to think about how many tears those people who were oppressed by you?" Now that the general trend has gone, I know that I was wrong, and it is too late to regret it......"

"Okay, don't talk about it......" Not only Liu Shuibi, but even Liu Duan couldn't listen anymore, and wanted to dissuade him.

However, these people still don't seem to be able to keep their mouths, Liu Jinquan is not there, they seem to have sprinkled all their resentment over the years on Liu Shuibi, a poor and down-to-earth woman now.

"I haven't said enough yet...... "A righteous man continued, "and several of my brothers died at your hands because of the battle between the Goshawks and the Vermilion Wings...... And you brothers and sisters, but you still look like you are unforgiving, continue to corrupt the atmosphere, do all the bad things, and turn this Liusha Town into a terrible situation, don't you brothers and sisters feel ashamed?!——"

When Liu Shuibi heard this, she didn't dare to raise her head anymore, buried her head deeper, and even wanted to cover her ears. And she herself kept shedding tears, at this time she was like a rat crossing the street, under the accusations and abuse of everyone, she looked so pitiful and downcast......

"And that's not all, think about what you did a few months ago...... someone continued.

"Okay——" Finally, Liu Duan couldn't listen to it anymore, stood up and yelled.

Liu Duan's roar didn't matter, and the scene was suddenly quiet. But these people's eyes were still on Liu Shuibi, as if the anger of hatred had never disappeared.

After Liu Duan scolded, he calmed down a little, and then said slowly: "Sister Shui is now sad and depressed, my brother and master have left her one after another, even if she has made many mistakes before, it is all in the past...... She's a girl, is she worthy of you big men treating her like this?"

There was silence at the scene, but everyone did not change their views on Liu Shuibi because of Liu Duan's words.

Finally, a brother who was better with Liu Duan stood up and said, "Brother Liu Duan, do you want to protect this vicious woman......

Liu Shuibi didn't make a sound, nor did she raise her head, and her back was under the stone Buddha statue, looking so pitiful and miserable.

"I'm not protecting her, I'm taking care of her......," Liu Duan straightened up and said, "I know that she and her brother have done all kinds of bad things, oppressing the people of the town, and looting the people's fat and ointment...... But now that she has experienced the grief of the loss of her loved one, I believe she has already known that she was wrong, can't you give her a chance to mend her ways?"

"Change? The nature of the country is easy to change, not to mention that she is still a woman, how can you change it......" Finally, these people also lowered their mouths a little and said calmly.

"Please believe me, give Shuimei time, she will definitely be able to repay all the sins she did before......" Liu Duan stood up and said for Liu Shuibi, "With me by her side, I will teach her ...... well"

Liu Duan said that, in fact, the most essential purpose was to help Liu Shuibi relieve the siege. But Liu Shuibi never cheered up on the side, just buried her head lower, and didn't even dare to look at Liu Duan's back.

"Okay, let's believe in Brother Liu Duan, you ...... for the time being" Slowly, everyone believed Liu Duan's words, and the leader said, "It's just for Brother Liu Duan's face, let's give this woman a chance, if she can really repay the sins she did before......"

Liu Duan nodded and said firmly: "Believe me, you will definitely be able to-" Liu Duan's words were very firm.

"That's okay, let's go ......" Finally, everyone stopped staying here to make things difficult for Liu Shuibi, turned around and left the temple......

It wasn't until these people had left for a long time that Liu Duan sat down next to Liu Shuibi again, looked at Liu Shuibi's sad appearance that had not shown his head, and slowly persuaded: "Okay, they are gone......"

Liu Shuibi was silent for a long time, then slowly choked up: "Those people ...... It's all your brothers...... Is that ......."

"Ah......" Liu Duan replied with a wry smile, "Before Brother Xiao left, he advised me to make more righteous and upright friends...... These people are all brothers with a sense of justice in the former 'Goshawk Faction' and 'Vermilion Wing Faction', and I have always had a good relationship with them since the Vermilion Wing Faction was wiped out......

Liu Shuibi was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "You go, I don't need you to accompany me......"

"What did you say?" Liu Duan didn't hear Liu Shuibi's words clearly, and asked in surprise.

"I said you go, just like those men who left me...... Liu Shuibi still didn't raise her head, and cried silently, "Just like they said, I am a woman who is unforgivable, I have done all the bad things, and I should have ended up like this...... I don't need you to pity me, this is my due retribution, you shouldn't quarrel with these best brothers of yours in order to protect me......"

"I didn't pity you, nor did I protect you......" Liu Duan heard this, and said excitedly, "Sister Shui...... No, Abi, I wish I could call you that, now that you are at a low point in your life, your brother and master have left one after another, I don't want to see you alone...... Yes, they are right, you and your brother have done a lot of bad things, but who hasn't lived in the dark past? They don't trust you, I believe in you, Abi, and believe that you can turn over and repay everything you used to ......."

"Why are you ......" Liu Duan said this, Liu Shuibi slowly raised his head, his already crying eyes glanced sideways, and he muttered in a choked voice, "Why are you ...... To be so good to me......"

"I ......" Liu Duan couldn't answer for a long time, looking at Liu Shuibi's crying eyes, he said hesitantly, "I just don't want to see Abi you look so depraved, I hope you can change your evil and return to the right and repay everything you have done...... Because I have always believed that you have always been a very gentle girl, and your heart is still kind......"

"You're ...... Believe me so much......" Now the only person who cares about him is Liu Duan, Liu Shuibi slowly moved her gaze and said with tears in her eyes, "I didn't tell you that when I was chasing Xiao Tian and Su Jia outside, I used so many despicable means......"

"I've said it all, those are all in the past...... Liu Duan continued to say patiently, "Even if no one else in this world believes in you, I always believe in you......"

"Thank you...... Thank you......" Liu Shuibi continued to cry with red eyes, she was very fragile at this time, and regarded Liu Duan as her only support now, and asked silently, "Can I ...... Leaning on your shoulder......"

"When...... Of course you can ......" Liu Duan blushed and replied silently.

Liu Shuibi moved her body slightly, leaned her head on Liu Duan's shoulder, and then said slowly: "I really can't guess, what kind of person are you, your brother treats me like that, but you have always been very good to me...... By the way, since you and Xiao Tian are good brothers, why didn't you leave Liusha Town with him in the first place......"

Liu Duan thought about it, and then said with a longing in his eyes: "Because I have an agreement with him——"

"What agreement, what agreement......" Liu Shuibi continued to ask silently.

"Brother Xiao promised me that no matter what situation he encounters in the future, he will be by Miss Su's side......" Liu Duan put his hands on his knees and said with a smile, "And I also promised him to stay in Liusha Town and protect the people in this town......"

"How are you going to protect ......," Liu Shuibi continued to mutter.

"Since the elimination of the Zhuyi faction, there has been no peace in Liusha Town, especially when Miss Su injured your brother and escaped from Liusha Town, the town is even more chaotic, whether it is the goshawk faction or the remnants of the Zhuyin faction, they are all making trouble near the town, making the people's ......lives miserable," Liu Duan continued, "And I will make friends with the remaining brothers with righteous hearts in the assembly gang, and accompany me to revitalize the gang, maintain law and order, and protect the peace of Liusha Town......"

"That's why you ......" Liu Shuibi seemed to understand something, and said silently......
