Shi Meiyan glanced left and right. x

"What could be of value here?"

Shen Linfeng looked at the wall that was blown by the wind, and the slag was constantly falling down. On the dilapidated wooden door, a couplet that had long since lost its color was blown by the wind.

In this situation, I really can't imagine anything of value here.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Linfeng's mind.

"Maybe we can find clues in those bows and arrows. ”

"Bow and arrow?"

The two of them climbed into the courtyard wall again, bows and arrows all over the ground shining with stars in the moonlight.

Shen Linfeng picked one up from the ground, and the body of the arrow was a few points heavier than an ordinary bow and arrow. The tip of the arrow shone brightly, apparently made of stainless steel.

How could such a weapon be possessed by a gang of bandits?

Shen Linfeng took a closer look and found that there was no logo on the bow and arrow, which couldn't help but disappoint him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a soft noise outside the courtyard gate.

Shen Linfeng and Shi Meiyan's hearts froze at the same time, and he put his finger to his lips and signaled Shi Meiyan not to make a sound.

Shen Linfeng approached the door step by step along the wall, only to see a long figure outside the door reflected on the ground. His arms were raised as if he were holding a stick.

Shen Linfeng grinned and jumped onto the wall.

The person outside the door was clumsy and full of silver hair. A wooden stick the thickness of an arm in his hand was raised above his head, probably to see that no one had come out of the courtyard. So he poked his head out from time to time, and then quickly retracted it, looking very funny.

"Uncle, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night, why are you running here with a stick?"

This sudden sentence made the frightened old man almost fall to the ground. Just as he looked up, Shi Meiyan quickly flashed out the door, and then snatched the wooden stick from the old man's hand.

"Miss Meiyan, don't hurt him!"

The old man struggled to get up from the ground, and he looked at the two people in front of him vigilantly.

"You're here with Hua Gongzi?" the old man asked, pointing at Shen Linfeng.

Shen Linfeng recognized the old man in front of him, who was the forest of Huazhi that he led the people to greet at the entrance of the town in the evening.

"Old man, you're right, we did come with Hua Gongzi. ”

The old man's vigilant eyes relaxed a lot, and he patted the dirt on his body as he said, "You don't eat and drink in the front yard, what are you doing here?"

"We just wanted to know more about the bandits. ”

"What is there to know? Those peach blossom thieves who have been stabbed by a thousand knives have already been killed by Hua Gongzi. ”

"Fart!" Shi Meiyan suddenly shouted.

The old man was obviously taken aback by Shi Meiyan, and he stared at his wrinkled eyes, not knowing what to do.

"Peach Blossom Thief? My father is upright and sits straight. You haven't done anything unreasonable in your life, and you actually call him a peach blossom thief?" Shi Meiyan was emotional, if it wasn't for Shen Linfeng to stop her, it is estimated that she would be able to stab the old man in front of her with a sword.

"You, you, what are you?Peach Blossom Thief, is it your father?" the old man's face began to tremble. He looked down left and right, apparently looking for the stick he had just lost.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that. Peach Blossom Village actually left you a remnant. The old man raised his stick and made a gesture to beat.

Although Shi Meiyan was angry, fortunately, she was still rational and did not do anything with this old man.

"My father was a general in the dynasty, and he was only exiled here because he was demoted. You blind people......"

"Ahh

Shi Meiyan jumped onto the wall, and the old man held a wooden stick and scolded.

Shen Linfeng hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, he didn't dare to guarantee that Shi Meiyan would always tolerate it like this. If she really stabbed the old man to death with a trembling hand, it would really be unreasonable.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from the depths of the alley.

Immediately afterward, a figure gradually appeared.

"Hua, Huagongzi?" the old man said breathlessly.

But Shi Meiyan lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"She's right. Huazhilin pointed at Shi Meiyan and said.

"What do you mean?"

"Her father is not a peach blossom thief, and the death of the people of Yongyuan Town was not committed by Peach Blossom Village. ”

"Huh?" the old man was obviously surprised, and his wide open mouth did not utter a word.

Shi Meiyan raised her head and looked at the Forest of Transformation, she did not scold angrily, let alone draw her sword at the Forest of Transformation.

A tear burst out of his eye, followed by a burst of control. She squatted on the ground and cried, crying out all her grievances and sorrows.

"What, what the hell is going on?" the old man still couldn't believe it. How did the demon who originally killed the people of the town become a general of the Celestial Empire?

The forest of transformation took out a waist card from his waist.

"This is her father's relic, the waist card given by the first emperor. Only generals who have won many battles are eligible. ”

The old man collapsed to the ground with his legs limp, he didn't believe Shi Meiyan's words, but he was convinced of the Forest of Transformation.

"Iniquity, iniquity......"

The faint flame of the oil lamp kept beating in the center of the square table, Shi Meiyan's eyes were red from crying, and the old man looked depressed. Although the forest of transformation was not like the two of them, his expression was also solemn.

"Old man!" Shen Linfeng was the first to speak.

"Why did you think it was ......" Shen Linfeng really couldn't think of how to call this vain general, so he set his eyes on Shi Meiyan.

The old man let out a long sigh.

"More than a month ago, a few townspeople in the town went to Peach Blossom Mountain, not far from here, to hunt for game. When they climbed the mountain, they found that there was an extra cottage out of thin air. And there are many strong men with big swords on their waists coming in and out. ”

"When the two men came back, they immediately ran to my yard to understand the situation, and I was very anxious. Think about it, if there is such a group of people in the mountains out of thin air, what else can they be if they are not bandits?"

"From that day on, I had people patrol the town all day. But...... Something unfortunate happened. On that day, nearly 100 masked men poured into the town, killing people and robbing things when they saw them. And children, women ......" At this point, the old man could no longer cry.

"So, you think my father sent someone to do it?" Shi Meiyan scolded angrily.

"I couldn't think of anyone else at the time, there weren't many people in our town. But since the discovery of the stockade, a few strangers have appeared every once in a while. So, when it happened, the first thing I thought of was your Peach Blossom Village. ”
