When night falls.

The rain, which had stopped for more than three hours during the day, began to flutter and sway down from the gloomy sky, but compared to the long-awaited downpour yesterday, today's rain is like the kind of light rain that is caused by the Qingming season.

The rain is mixed with the gentle and cool mountain wind, and the light rain ripples in the air with the wind.

After saying goodbye to her brother-in-law in a hurry, Xiaoman quickly went down to the mountain gate of the village, and then found that on the bench she came out of before, as Shen Zhu said, there was no trace of Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing, but her empty vegetable basket was put on one end of the bench from the ground.

"Xu Gongzi, where have they gone?"

Xiao Man couldn't help but let out a muttering to herself, and walked out of front of the mountain gate directly, and then she began to investigate around the mountain gate, until she walked out about half a mile to the left of the mountain gate, she saw a tall figure with the appearance of a scholar, who was rushing to the village from the rain curtain.

Xiao Man stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Gu Gongzi, where have you been, I thought you went down the mountain, by the way, where is Xu Gongzi?"

Gu Xueqing heard that the other party came to her, and she didn't know how to answer, first of all, because her voice was also very delicate, belonging to an extremely gentle female voice, and she probably had to reveal her identity as soon as she spoke;

Seeing that Gu Xueqing opened her mouth slightly, a little eager to speak and stopped, but didn't know how to speak, Xiaoman smiled softly and said empathetically: "Actually, Xiaoman has known for a long time, Gu Gongzi...... No, I should call you Miss Gu, but I won't tell anyone else about it, so you can rest assured. ”

Gu Xueqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw that the other party really saw through her disguise at the beginning, but since the other party had made her words clear, she didn't have to pretend to be a dumb person anymore, and replied bluntly: "I...... I just came here to take a look at random, as for Xu Yan, he ......"

"Huh?"

Seeing that Gu Xueqing was still a little stumbling, Xiao Man asked with a smile: "Miss Gu, what's wrong with you, can't you say where Xu Gongzi went?"

Gu Xueqing is not the kind of person who is good at lying, it can be said that she and the Xiaoman in front of her are half-hearted in terms of honesty, and they definitely have a fight, so when she began to think about what reasons she should find to hide from the other party, in fact, the reasons she thought of in her heart, even she felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Xueqing hesitated for most of the day, but after all, she couldn't find a suitable reason, so she said bluntly: "That...... Xu Yan had something to do for the time being, and he left temporarily, but he should be back soon. Without waiting for Xiao Man to say anything, Gu Xueqing changed the topic and said: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's get out of here first, otherwise we will get wet later." ”

Seeing that she was reluctant to say Xu Yan's whereabouts, Xiao Man's heart was full of curiosity, but she was not reluctant, she just smiled and hummed, and then said: "Since this is the case, then let's go to the village to avoid the rain, and by the way, wait for Xu Gongzi to come back, and then we can go to my sister's place together, Aunt Yin and my sister have already promised you to enter the village." ”

Gu Xueqing is not very good at polite communication, although her personal survival and independence are very strong, but after the departure of the Lotus Sect, all the way to Jixiang, she is actually just following behind Xu Yan, no matter what problems the two face, she is basically based on Xu Yan's opinions, so when she needs to face this completely unfamiliar communication, her own shortcomings are exposed at a glance, and she can't adapt to it at all. So in the end, she just nodded slightly to Xiao Man beside her, and followed the other party into the stockade, without saying anything more.

However, after Xiao Man, who was walking in front, entered the village, she suddenly turned her head and said to Gu Xueqing with a smile: "By the way, I have to thank Miss Gu and Xu Gongzi for giving my brother-in-law a pill when they were in Qiulu Village before, which cured him of the stubborn disease that he had suffered from for many years. ”

When Gu Xueqing heard this answer, her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, and she asked curiously, "That pill is effective for your brother-in-law's illness?"

Xiaoman replied with a smile: "Yes, my brother-in-law said that his illness has been completely cured, and not only that, he also managed to walk all the way to the village on his own, and now it is estimated that he should have gone to my sister's house, and he also said, when I meet you and Xu Gongzi, I must thank you well." ”

When Gu Xueqing heard this answer, she smiled bitterly in her heart, because she had also taken the poison avoidance pill, but it had no effect at all, the Gu worm that had just been planted in her heart was still alive and well, and even on the first night she rested, it affected her to have an extremely intimate accident with Xu Yan, and when she thought of this, even if Gu Xueqing pretended that she didn't care on the surface, but in fact, when she got along with Xu Yan, she still had a lingering feeling of shadow.

Gu Xueqing paused for a moment before smiling and replied: "In this way, that's the best, in fact, at the beginning, we could only have the attitude of giving it a try, and we didn't think that the pill would really be effective, and in addition, this credit is also the credit of Xu Yan alone, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

When Xiaoman heard her say this, he thought that she was just modest, so he didn't continue to get involved in this topic, but just replied with a smile: "Miss Gu, you are too modest. ”

......

In the village of Qi Township, in the wooden house where Xu Yan and Xiaoman had stayed for some time at the same time, the silver-haired Aunt Yin's grandmother had already stood up from the recliner.

Looking at the slowly falling rain curtain through the patio, she sighed slightly, such a gray scene, it looks more or less desolate, however, unlike the sky at this moment, in her eyes, which were already very cloudy due to old age, there was a flash of sharpness that was immersed in her heart, and she didn't know how many years had not been revealed.

She whispered to herself: "Girl, the reason why things have evolved to this point today is that you took the blame from the beginning, don't blame grandma for being too ruthless to you." ”

......

After Xu Yan knocked the man surnamed Yan off the roof with one palm, he also followed the other party to the patio, and after he condescendingly said this to the man surnamed Yan embedded in the ground, he planned to raise his foot and trample the other party to death.

However, Zhong Yun, who witnessed all this happening, saw Xu Yan's lover who wanted to kill, and immediately screamed: "Don't kill him, please don't kill him, kill me if you want to kill, the cause of all this is on me, I want to intercept and kill you, he is innocent!"

After Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but exude a sneer on his face, and he didn't bother to argue with him at all, but just asked the man surnamed Yan: "If you want to die happily, tell your true origin, of course, you can also choose to keep silent like those who have died in my hands." ”

When the man surnamed Yan heard Xu Yan say this, he was already seriously injured, but his face was still full of resentment, and he said coldly: "If you want to kill, you will kill, and you still want to talk from my mouth, you are too naïve, besides, even if I can't kill you, there will naturally be someone to avenge me in the future." ”

Xu Yan didn't care about the other party's threat at all, but nodded in approval, and said in a calm tone: "Then you go to die, I'll wait for them to continue to send people's heads!"

After the words fell, Xu Yan had already lifted his feet, and was about to completely solve the man surnamed Yan in front of him, but before he could really fall, in front of the already shattered wooden house, there was another voice that sounded somewhat familiar, and suddenly rang from his ears.

I heard someone say to him: "Engong, it's really you!"

After Xu Yan heard the voice, he naturally turned his eyes to the source of the sound, and immediately saw that the person outside the door was a middle-aged man who opened a tea stall at the entrance of Qiulu Village. Without waiting for Xu Yan to answer him, Shen Zhu walked into the wooden house, but after he completely walked through the door and came to the courtyard, he found the scene inside the house, which made him feel a little shocked.

First of all, the most striking thing is undoubtedly this old wooden house, which has existed for hundreds of years, it no longer has the complete appearance of its former state, but has become full of holes, and on the entire roof, it can be said that it has really become a piece of armor, only a rafter remains, and in addition to this, the patio is full of broken tiles.

Shen Zhu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, his lips trembling but he couldn't speak, but then, he heard a voice that he hadn't heard for two years and a month.

"Xianggong, is that you?"

The sound came from a corner in the courtyard, on the side near the gate, which was equivalent to behind the position where Shen Zhu was standing at this moment.

After hearing the voice, Shen Zhu did not hesitate, and immediately turned his head to look at Zhong Yun who made the sound, but immediately, he saw the latter's pale face, and saw thick blood stains on the clothes on her chest and the corners of her mouth.

When Shen Zhu saw his wife like this, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Lady, are you...... What's wrong with you, how can there be so many blood stains on your body, and what is going on with all this in front of you?"

Zhong Yun naturally recognized Shen Zhu in front of her, although the other party's body was already thin and skinny, completely different from two years ago, but after all, the other party was her rightful husband, and he had lived with her for a long time, so it was not difficult for her to recognize the other party.

When Zhong Yun saw his father-in-law ask, a trace of fierceness flashed directly in his very good-looking eyes, and he said to Shen Zhu hatefully: "All this in front of me, and why I am injured, Xianggong, you shouldn't come to ask me, but should ask this scholar standing next to you." ”

When Shen Zhu heard the other party say this, he looked at Xu Yan, but Xu Yan just glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything.

Shen Zhu saw that Xu Yan was silent, and he also felt a little embarrassed, so he was embarrassed to speak, so he could only withdraw his gaze and smile bitterly at Zhong Yun and said, "Lady, you said that these are all done by Engong......? How is this possible, Engong also saved my life yesterday and resolved my illness, he is a good person, how could he be so cruel to his wife for no reason?"

When Zhong Yun heard Shen Zhu call Xu Yan Engong before, she still didn't know why her husband called the other party Engong, but after she heard Shen Zhu take the initiative to say this explanation, she finally understood the reason, "No wonder when I was fighting this scholar in the bamboo forest yesterday, the Gu worm that had been planted in my body for more than ten years suddenly died, it turned out to be a good thing that this scholar did." ”

Zhong Yun looked at Xu Yan, who couldn't see the depth of his face, and said resentfully: "It turned out to be you, it was you who ruined my hope of reaching a higher level!"

When Xu Yan heard Zhong Yun's voice, he ignored it, but asked indifferently to Shen Zhu in front of him, "What, does the pill I gave you have any effect?"

After Shen Zhu heard this, he immediately nodded and replied: "It's useful, it's very useful, after I took the pill given by Engong, although it was very painful for a period of time afterward, it cured me of a stubborn illness for more than ten years, Engong, you don't know, after taking your pill, I also spit out a worm from my body, which is as big as a little thumb." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Yun in the corner, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of sarcasm. He opened his mouth and replied to Shen Zhu: "Of course I know!" He paused and continued: "It is precisely because I know that there is a worm in your body that I gave you that pill, otherwise do you think your disease is so easy to cure?"

After Shen Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, after all, he originally had no hope for Xu Yan, and he never expected that Xu Yan would really be able to cure his stubborn illness. Without waiting for him to say anything, he saw Xu Yan suddenly at the corner of his mouth, showing a sneering smile, and asked him, "Do you know why there is this worm in your body?"

Shen Zhu asked curiously, "Why?"

"Enough!"

Zhong Yun, who was in the corner, was afraid that Xu Yan would tell the final truth, so she immediately stopped their conversation, and she said coldly to Shen Zhu: "Xianggong, don't listen to this scholar's nonsense, he is not a normal person at all, he is an executioner, he came to our township to kill me, how can you believe him!"

Although Shen Zhu's heart was full of confusion and confusion at this moment, after all, his heart was still towards his mother, so he turned his head to Xu Yan and asked, "Engong, is this true?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yan nodded directly and honestly and said, "It's true!"

Hearing this answer, Shen Zhu, who was still a little unconvinced, asked with a painful face: "Why is this, my lady has some deep hatred with Engong?"

When Xu Yan heard this, he replied in a cold voice: "I can't talk about deep hatred, but this matter, she intercepted me halfway first, and she also planted Gu worms in my cousin's body, you say, she still dares to treat me like this, why can't I kill her? Moreover, you are not curious at all, who is this man lying on the ground at this moment?"

Shen Zhu actually wanted to ask this question for a long time in his heart, but he didn't have time, but now after hearing Xu Yan say this, he couldn't help but glance at the man on the ground, and then asked, "Who is this person?"

Xu Yan sneered and said, "This question, you can directly ask your good wife." ”

Hearing that Xu Yan could say the three words of a good wife in an extremely heavy tone, Shen Zhu turned his gaze to Zhong Yun again, and Zhong Yun naturally didn't know how to open her mouth after seeing him look at herself, she couldn't tell her husband that this person was the lover she had secretly dated behind his back over the years.

Xu Yan saw that Zhong Yun looked like she was brewing words and wanted to find a suitable reason, but she didn't give her any chance, and said bluntly: "You may be a little sad to say it, this person is your wife's concubine who has secretly had fun behind your back for so many years." Without waiting for Shen Zhu to say anything about this, Xu Yan added fuel to the fire and said, "Besides, don't you want to know where this Gu worm in your body came from? I think in the entire Lingzhou territory, except for you, this lady, no one should be able to do this." ”

"You're lying!"

Zhong Yun couldn't help but let out a scream, and forcibly explained to Shen Zhu: "Xianggong, don't believe him, these are all made up by him on purpose to slander me, he just doesn't want to admit that he is an executioner, I ...... I'm your lady, how can I harm you!"

Shen Zhu was already in tears at the moment, for him, he really didn't know who to believe, from an emotional point of view, of course he was on his wife's side, but it came from his own deep rational consciousness, but he kept telling him that the scholar in front of him didn't lie to him, because why did the other party have to lie to him?

"Boom"!

Just when Shen Zhu was still in the pain of not knowing who to believe, there was a sudden burst of thick aura under his feet, which instantly skyrocketed.

Xu Yan felt this scene, his face was furious, and he immediately controlled the martial arts true qi in his body, gathered it in his hands, and then punched out the man surnamed Yan, who had been deliberately lying on the ground for a long time, but was secretly recuperating his injuries. However, even if his punch did successfully hammer the opponent's chest that had just gotten up, because Shen Zhu was too close to the latter, he still couldn't stop him from pushing Shen Zhu's back with a palm after the latter suddenly burst out.

"Poof!"

Almost at the same time, Shen Zhu and the man surnamed Yan spurted out a mouthful of scarlet blood from their mouths at the same time, and then, the bodies of the two rolled out in different directions.

Shen Zhu rolled towards Xu Yan in front of him, while the man surnamed Yan rolled towards the gate, and after that, the latter, who was seriously injured, still managed to roll out of the gate with the power of Xu Yan's punch under his own forcible luck.

The man surnamed Yan didn't stop at all, regardless of his injuries, he quickly got up from the ground and shot down the mountain, just about to escape from here, but before escaping, he still shouted to Zhong Yunlang in the house: "Yun Niang, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

Xu Yan saw that the other party was so treacherous at the last moment to use Shen Zhu to delay his actions, his face was extremely cold, he didn't care about Shen Zhu, who was already dying in his arms, and directly put the latter's body on the ground of the patio, and he quickly chased after him outside the door.

However, just as Xu Yan had just stepped out of this gate, and the man surnamed Yan was about to go down the mountain, at the bottom of the mountain, there was an incomparably strong and abrupt sword qi that burst towards the latter.

Then, this sharp sword qi stabbed the martial arts physique of the man surnamed Yan in the realm of the sixth rank without any accident.
