Chapter 298: Nightfall Mound Tales (1)
This soft sound was particularly clear in the silent banquet hall, and everyone stopped discussing and looked at Ye Yurou with an embarrassed face.
Facing everyone's ghost-like eyes, Ye Yurou was flustered with her hands and feet, and her eyes were fluttering. Her arm trembled unconsciously, and she hurriedly lowered her body to pick up the silver spoon that had fallen to the ground.
No one else knew the reason, but Xu He knew the relationship between Shen Linfeng and Ye Yurou. Seeing the embarrassing scene, he hurriedly said: "Of course he knows, otherwise it is impossible for Miss Meiyan to enter and leave the Command Hall at will." ”
Shen Linfeng nodded. Now the key question is, what exactly did the two talk about in the house when the woman was assassinated for the first time?
Since the reason can't be solved, everyone doesn't bother to bother with it.
Shen Linfeng was the first to get up and say goodbye, and Ye Yurou's body on his side moved, as if he wanted to leave with him. But as if remembering something, the slight side of the body was straightened again.
Shen Linfeng pretended to turn a blind eye and walked towards the gate.
As soon as he left the Command Hall, Shen Linfeng instantly felt a lot more comfortable. Although the banquet hall was luxuriously decorated, it made him feel tightened in his chest.
It didn't take long for Xu He to also walk out of the palace gate.
"Old Xu, is this neighborhood a clean place?" Shen Linfeng put a hand on Xu He's shoulder, looking very close.
From this trip to the forest, the affection between the two has also increased a lot. Especially Shi Ting's long talk that night also made Xu He have a good impression of the young man in front of him.
Xu He rubbed his chin in thought.
"There it is!" he pulled Shen Linfeng and pointed to the southeast corner of the city.
"In the southeast corner, there is a raised mound. There was a hundred-year-old tree growing there, and Hua Gongzi felt that the scenery was unique, so he built a pavilion on top of the mound. Speaking of this pavilion, it really wasted a lot of thoughts. The ...... that was built Hey, hey, don't go!"
Shen Linfeng listened to Xu He's words and walked all the way to the southeast. The location of the mound was easy to identify, and the hundred-year-old tree could be seen from far away Shen Linfeng.
The mound is not very large, but it is very well built. It is surrounded by a white stone guardrail, and a white stone staircase winds upwards.
When you reach the top of the hill, a thick tree rises from the ground. The trunk is rough and covered with grooves of varying shades. Branches spread out in all directions, as if to envelop the entire mound.
The pavilion is located underneath the ancient tree, and the four nanmu columns are carved with many exquisite patterns.
Shen Linfeng seemed to be able to imagine it. When the weather warms up, the leaves are shady. At that time, if you sit in this pavilion, drink a glass of wine, and feel the breeze blowing, it must be very refreshing.
Shen Linfeng jumped on the top of the pavilion and looked out of the city, although it was dark, the stars in the sky also had a unique charm. Turning into the city, the streets are brightly lit. On both sides of the river, there are still unreturned city residents, who are chatting with wine glasses in their hands, or drinking and fist-fighting, so that it is not lively.
Shen Linfeng simply lay on the spot, and the wine gourd was full of fine wine exuding an intoxicating aroma.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from below the gazebo. Shen Linfeng got up to watch, and saw a woman in white walking towards the mound with a bamboo basket in her hand.
She walked in a hurry, but she was also very careful. Every few steps you take, you look back.
Shen Linfeng recognized this woman, she was Shi Meiyan who made a big fuss in the banquet hall tonight.
Shi Meiyan walked through the gazebo, as the four corners of the pavilion were hung with lanterns. Therefore, it was difficult for her to find Shen Linfeng at the top.
Shi Meiyan faced southeast, and she took out the things in the bamboo basket in turn. Due to the obstruction of her body, and the sky was too dark. Shen Linfeng didn't see what was in her bamboo basket in the end.
Immediately after, a ball of fire flickered. Shi Meiyan's face flickered, and a crystal tear slowly slipped from the corner of her eye.
"Dad, my daughter is useless, I still couldn't kill the one surnamed Lin tonight. But don't worry, as long as Yan'er still has a breath of air, she will definitely take the life of the dog surnamed Lin with her own hands. After speaking, Shi Meiyan knelt down directly and kowtowed three times in a row.
"Would the girl like to hear a story?"
Shi Meiyan was startled by the sudden words, and she hurriedly turned around, her eyes staring at the top of the gazebo.
"Who? Who's up there?"
"The girl need not be alarmed, she is just an idler passing by here. ”
"Since you have a story to tell, please come out and see it. ”
Shen Linfeng moved his body into the darkness again.
"Storytelling is naturally based on words, so what's the matter if you don't see each other?"
"Hmph, I don't dare to show my true face, and I guess I can't tell any good stories. After speaking, Shi Meiyan picked up the bamboo basket and was about to leave.
"I'll talk about mine, and the girl can't listen to it, so she can leave on her own. ”
Shi Meiyan scoffed at his words, raised her legs and left.
"There was once a girl who saved my life......"
Shi Meiyan didn't pay any attention to what Shen Linfeng said, she walked down the steps with steps.
"But I killed her father......"
Shi Meiyan stopped and sneered: "An ungrateful person is not as good as a beast!"
"Her father is the master of the Demon Church......
"What did you say?" Shi Meiyan frowned, obviously having heard of the Demon Sect as well.
He relied on the strength of the Demon Sect, robbed the people everywhere, and forced the good to become prostitutes. Then all of them bought green houses for men's entertainment, and some were even under the age of twelve or thirteen. What do you say should be done with such a person?"
"Hmph, heinous and heinous, ten killings are difficult to resolve the hatred in my heart. ”
"Well, I did kill him. ”
Shi Meiyan finally turned around, and she looked in the direction of the gazebo.
"But then...... It was his daughter who saved my life. ”
"So, does her daughter know that you killed her father?"
"Know!" Shen Linfeng raised his neck and took a sip of wine, the aroma of peach blossoms in the wine gourd came to his face, and it never dissipated for a long time.
"What happened later?" Shi Meiyan couldn't help but ask.
"Later, it's gone!"
"Gone?" Shi Meiyan was a little incredulous.
"That's the story you're going to tell me?"
"Haha...... It's not the story that's all about. It's the question I'm going to ask you. ”
"Oh, tell me about it. ”
"If this girl were you, would you avenge your father, and whoever killed your father, would you consider the people to be heroes as your own enemy?"
Shi Meiyan was speechless, he never thought that the other party would ask her such a question.
"This ......," she remembered the few terrible words that Shen Linfeng had just said.
Abducting and selling young girls and forcing them to become prostitutes.
Sooner or later, those who can do such evil deeds will suffer retribution. And the person who killed him was also chivalrous and righteous, doing the right thing for heaven. ”
