It has been a month since Jing Fei woke up, and when he woke up, he only felt a splitting headache, which was more serious than the sequelae of the previous two times, and he closed his eyes and adjusted the sea of consciousness that had been waiting for a long time before he opened his eyes again.

Wait a minute...

Dark blue gauze tents?

Only then did Jing Fei realize that the room he was in now was no longer the small courtyard of Zhang Jingchang's house, but his own courtyard.

Knowing the outlet, Zhang Jingchang squatted on the steps of the door and smashed the dry tobacco pole, Zhou Zhixuan and Li showed that the two brothers Li Liang were boxing on the side of the courtyard, General Huang squatted beside Zhang Jingchang and wagged his tail and looked at the three little ones who practiced boxing, and from time to time quietly turned his head to look at the small pond in the corner of the small wall, the back of the thunder crocodile was fixed with animal tendons A small wooden bed, Li Sanqiu leaned on the side of the wooden bed and looked at the candle in the small pond in a daze, Aunt Li was lying on the chaise longue next to the plum tree embroidered with a shyster shoe, and occasionally smiled and looked up at Brother Qiu in a daze.

Zhang Jingchang sensed the movement in the room and knew that Jing Fei was awake, so he said without looking back:

"Aunt Li left you food, go eat it yourself when you wake up." ”

Jing Fei closed his eyes again in response, and he couldn't guess that Aunt Li's family moved to the county seat to prevent the incident from happening again a month ago, Chengping County has three third-order monks Zhang Jingchang, Hu Dongxu, and Zhao Mingde, and there are even county orders Gao Jin is unfathomable.

Outside the door, General Huang snorted, Jing Fei's thoughts drifted back to a month ago, when Zhang Jingchang asked the seniors how to deal with the two people, the seniors never answered, and finally could only let the two go, just when the two turned around, they suddenly knelt down to the seniors with excited expressions, and knocked their heads three times before leaving, and at the moment when the ghost-faced woman kowtowed and raised her head, Jing Fei was surprised to find that the woman's bloody face had been restored at some point.

Jing Fei didn't know what the identities of those two people were, why they robbed people, from the ins and outs of the whole thing and some details, it is not difficult to see that the seniors have some kind of relationship with those two people, as for the various relationships, the seniors will not ask if they don't say it, and they dare not ask.

Thinking about it, Jing Fei actually fell asleep, this night, the autumn wind swept the leaves, this night, the bright moon rose from the tall building, this night, Jing Fei did not fall asleep or dream.

Fifty miles is a small town outside the west gate of Hanyuan City, although it is a small town, but its scale and prosperity are not much more than some county seats, it is said that a long time ago there was only one inn and a few wine shops, because of the proximity to Hanyuan City, it gradually has the current scale.

The bitter water well is a well and also a tavern, a few pillars, a few wooden planks hastily built of a semi-open wooden shed, and the carved small buildings around it seem a little out of place, the simple slightly shabby tavern is overcrowded at this time, the door is scattered with a few squeaks, as if they will fall down at any time, the stool is long shirt and short shirt, narrow sleeves are forbidden, several people are crowded on a stool, saliva splashes pointing to the world and talking about the past and the present, as long as you stretch your neck a little bit, you can see a well built of flowers and stones behind the wooden shed.

Anyone who knows about the dry water well will think that this place is simple, if the age of the bitter water well is about the same as the fifty miles, speaking of the ancestors of the tavern shopkeeper is still the first few founders of the fifty miles, when the well was dug out of the well the water was cold and clear but with a faint bitterness, but then the ancestor came out of nowhere to a secret recipe for winemaking, which led to the later bitter water brewing.

Bitter water brewing, soft in the mouth, falling belly like drinking ice springs, as for the aftertaste, of course, it is bitter, the world is bitter but likes to be bitter in the bitter and bitter. I don't know when a saying began to circulate in the bitter water well, saying that it is okay to drink more bitter water, and after a long time, the bitter days will not be bitter.

There is no way to verify whether this is true, and no one will really use bitter water to do the absurd thing of using wine to eliminate bitterness, anyway, since there was a business of bitter water brewing bitter water wells, it has never been deserted for thousands of years.

Lu Xun is a frequent visitor to the bitter water well, every time he and his colleagues return to Hanyuan City after a mission, as long as they stop by to drink a few bowls of bitter water brew, at first Lu Xun didn't think that there was anything special about bitter water brewing, but drinking too much became a habit, and the reason for not saying it may be the reason for these drinkers who love bitter water brewing inside and outside the tavern.

Lu Xun and his entourage walked into the crowded tavern, the dark blue brocade clothes carried a bit of dust and slaughter, and the green jade waist plate on the waist was engraved with the words of the Divine Protector Mansion.

The arrival of the four people only caused some drinkers to look up, and there were people who came and went at the foot of Hanyuan City, and there were all the people who were high-ranking officials, nobles, three sects, and nine ranks, and even the city lord of Hanyuan City would not feel so surprised.

Lu Xun beckoned to the shopkeeper who was dexterously shuttling through the crowd:

"It's not bitter, let's have a pot of bitter water, four bowls. ”

The tavern has always had only three people, one shopkeeper and two guys, one of the guys is called Ah Ku and the other is called Bu Ku, Bu Ku is responsible for hospitality, Ah Ku is responsible for brewing, it is hard to imagine that there are only three people in such a prosperous tavern.

Bu Ku turned his head to look at it, squinted his eyes and smiled:

"Yo, it's Lord Lu, okay, please wait. ”

Lu Xun and the four of them glanced in the tavern and couldn't find an empty seat, and one of the long-faced men complained:

"This shopkeeper is too picky, can't he build a few floors and make it spacious? ”

Lu Xun patted the long-faced man on the shoulder and said:

"Don't complain, some drinks are good, I heard that the scale and layout of this tavern is set by the ancestor of the shopkeeper, although I don't understand what is particular about it, but you know that you have a lot of hands when you look at the gold-lettered signboard that has been precipitated for thousands of years. ”

"Hey, how much attention can this be, just sell feelings?"

"It's not that simple, the bitter water well must have something to do with it if it doesn't dry up for thousands of years, I heard that every ten years, the shopkeeper will invite a formation master to tinker with it. ”

"It's really fake, how I've never heard of it. ”

The four of them chatted word by word, and soon the wine was not bitter, Lu Xun took the water and wine and handed over a gold cake, and the eyes that were already half-squinted suddenly smiled into a slit.

Divide the bowl, pour the wine, drink together, and quietly taste the aftertaste of the bitter water brewing without words.

"I've been drinking this wine for decades, the more I drink it, the more I taste it, I remember that I didn't drink this bitter water brew for several years when I went out on a business trip earlier, and I rushed here overnight after I came back, and when a bowl of bitter water brewed my stomach almost fucking cried, haha!"

It was four middle-aged men with rough faces who were walking.

Lu Xun poured wine for a few people and said with a smile:

"That's terrible, the criminal leader, you will be promoted after the New Year, and you won't be able to drink bitter water and burst into tears. ”

Leaning on the pillar, looking at the clouds through the gap in the plank, the head of the torturer sighed:

"What kind of promotion is far away, leaving Hanyuan City is also a descent, but it's you, your performance is in the eyes of several of us, when I leave, you will be the next head, the third son is the youngest, the old horse is not in tune, you have been brothers for so many years, you can help more. ”

After that, he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Lu Xunde's shoulder, Lu Xun felt a little awkward, he didn't like this kind of intimate behavior very much, and he could only understand it when he thought that the torture leader was about to be transferred away.

"The head of the sentence ...... relieved. ”

Lu Xun had just said half of his words, and suddenly found that the huge spirit yuan on the shoulder of the torture head instantly sealed all the spiritual veins around him with lightning speed, and then a tingling sensation spread throughout the body, Lu Xun stood in place with a wine jug in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, he rolled his eyes and looked at the torture head in disbelief as if asking why he suddenly shot at himself.

"Let's go, go back to your life first, let's go back and find a quiet day to talk about these things slowly." ”

The torture head put the wine bowl in his hand to the corner of the table on the right hand side and took the lead out of the tavern, Lu Xun felt that he was like a marionette at this time, and he couldn't help himself, put down the wine jug and walked out of the tavern with the footsteps of the torture head.

The executioner's choice of timing and means was very delicate, so that no one in the entire tavern noticed the abnormality just now, and the four of them walked out of the tavern along the long street until the east gate of the town before the imperial envoy left the flying boat.

After traveling 500 miles, the flying boat stopped in a dark valley, the valley was rocky and grassy, the cold wind swept across the ground, blowing up a few wisps of fine sand, revealing the dry white bones below, and the thin white mist mixed with the pungent miasma cast a layer of desolation and danger over the valley.

"It's a place to bury bones, I remember that the last time I came here to execute the thieves of the sacrificial hall were buried there, but I didn't expect to come back this time to bury my brothers who were born and died together for more than ten years. ”

The torture head pointed to a small raised mound not far away, and his voice was full of emotion and vicissitudes.

Lu Xunding quietly looked at the depths of the mist in the same place, and he could speak after getting off the flying boat, but what could he say, quibbling for mercy? As early as when he went out on a mission this time, he had a faint bad premonition, and when the bitter water well tavern was restrained by the torture leader, he already knew that his identity was revealed, and what was the place of the Divine Protector Mansion, since he dared to do it directly, it showed that he had already determined his identity.

Of course Lu Xun didn't want to die, but at this moment, his mood became low and sad with the words of the torture head mixed with the depression in the valley, thinking back to his body, it seemed that he had only been the most open and honest in the years when he was undercover in the Divine Protector Mansion, but behind this scenery, the gloom, sadness, and walking on thin ice could be said to anyone.

If he could endure it a little more, the high-flying county official would not have died, the little official would not have to flee if he did not die, and he would not have met the people who gave up his body if he did not flee, and if he thought about it carefully, his ending was good, the send-off wine was drunk, and the send-off person was beside him, so he didn't have to worry about throwing the corpse in the wilderness, he believed that after his death, the head of the sentence should set up a simple tombstone for himself, what should be written on the tombstone? One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred; the killer should have feelings; Sister Juan, you still owe me a night of tenderness; the bitter water brew is actually not delicious; the walls of Hanyuan City are really fucking ugly......

The head of the torture looked at Lu Xun, who was standing in the wind, with a complicated look in his eyes, he felt that God was unfair, why did he give a brother to himself and finally send it away by himself.

No matter how bitter the water is, it is not bitter, and it is not as bitter as the mood at this time.

"Do you regret it?"

The torture head asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Lu Xun pondered his epitaph so engrossed that he didn't pay attention to the torturer's questioning.

"What other unfulfilled wishes do you have?"

"Wish?Sister Juan used to say that she wanted to see the real grassland, and she was going to take her to Qingping Grassland after this errand, but now it seems that she can't go, there is some money in the cabinet by the bed in my room, help me bring it to Sister Juan, and tell Sister Juan that she doesn't need to put things in her clothes, she is actually in good shape......"

Sanyi and Lao Ma didn't want to listen any longer, they bit their lips and turned their faces away, the joints of the torture fist rattled, and they gritted their teeth and said word by word:

"Anything else?"

Yes, of course there is, but what is the use of saying so much when people are going to die, what you want to fulfill is called a wish, what others do for you is called a long-cherished wish, and what you want to do for your grandmother, Lu Xun looked at this claustrophobic valley and suddenly felt very irritable.

"It's gone, just..."

Halfway through the words, I only heard a muffled snort, followed by the sound of a broken skull, a small golden seal converged the dazzling golden light flew up from Lu Xun's forehead and returned to the hand of the torture head, Lu Xun's eyes widened and looked at the sky in a daze, his ears, nostrils, and the corners of his mouth kept leaving blood, and dense cracks began to appear on his body from his forehead, and the white light in the cracks seemed to hide a ghost, and after a few breaths, the white light dimmed, and Lu Xun looked up to the sky and slowly fell, and the bloodshot pupils reflected not the blue sky and white clouds, but the misty half of the black cliff。

Two hours later, the flying boat pierced through the fog and left, and there was a lonely grave in the valley, and a line of words was engraved on the stone tablet in front of the grave:

"In the next life, drink bitter water again. ”

A ghostly figure appeared in front of the grave at some point, and the visitor glanced at the inscription and sneered:

"The dragon is full of souls, and the afterlife of bullshit. ”

After speaking, the figure twisted for a moment, and then disappeared.

A moment later, three figures came out of the depths of the valley, and it was the three Torture Heads who had left two hours ago, and the Torture Heads looked at the newly erected lonely tomb and said lightly:

"Did you see the person just now?"

The youngest third son, whose lips were red and white, said with red eyes:

"It is the bitterness of the well. ”

The torture head finally looked at Lu Xun's grave and left without looking back.

"Let's go, I'm still waiting to be restored. ”

As the sun set, the fog in the valley grew thicker and thicker, and soon even the lonely grave was no longer visible.

Three days later, the little two who were in charge of the reception of Kushuijing changed one person, and it is said that the previous little er's identity was suspicious and was taken away by the Shenhu Mansion for investigation, and the person left and stayed, and the business of the Kushuijing Tavern was still the same.

Five days later, all the counties and counties of Hezhou Province were closed at the same time, and the next day the city gate was opened, and one after another flying boats broke through the air, and the people in the city pointed and did not know what had happened.
