Capture the Jade

Chapter 40: (two)

The blood couldn't stop at all, let alone more than an hour, it would be dead in half an hour.

He said anxiously: "Go back to the shore first! Let's go!"

When they were talking, Mrs. Qi always looked nervous, but Tian Yunde's expression became more and more strange. The boatman nodded, got up and ran back, but Tian Yunde suddenly bent over and picked up the chain on the deck. Hit the boatman head-on.

The boatman was caught off guard and fell all over the place. Tian Yunde rushed forward with a single stride, and made up for the second, third, and fourth...

Peng Yugui was stunned, and the voice was heavy and unspeakable, like the sound of a drumstick beating and breaking a drum. When he realized that Tian Yunde's next target was himself, he hurriedly dragged his mother back.

"You're crazy!" he whispered.

However, Tian Yunde was obviously red-eyed and ran straight towards them.

There is the river behind. Staying on the boat may not be able to beat Tian Yunde. The only way to escape is to dive, but Sheng Baojiao is still standing behind Tian Yunde. She is obviously frightened by this scene. .

Just after this hesitation, Tian Yunde has already rushed to the front, and the mother said sharply: "You lunatic! Cui'e, tell him to stop!"

Peng Yugui lowered her shoulders and slammed her head into Tian Yunde's chest. This time it was urgent and heavy, Tian Yunde groaned in pain, and fell to the side.

Peng Yugui dragged A-Niang across Tian Yunde's side, ran to Baojiao in one breath, and was about to bend over to pick up her sister when the back of her head suddenly suffered a severe pain.

With a bang in his head, Tian Yunde won't catch up so quickly, he can only do it—

A-Niang said to her heartbreakingly, "You poisonous woman! I'll fight with you!"

Qi Cui'e pulled her neck and shouted, "Tian Yunde, help me, she's about to kill me!"

Peng Yugui desperately tried to stand up, but her head seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, the back of her head was wet and cold, and something warm was coming out. She finally got up, but her feet were too soft to stand.

I only heard A-Niang screaming mournfully, "Dalang, take Baojiao and run away!"

It was this roar that stimulated the remaining strength in Peng Yugui's body, and when he reached forward with his arms, he couldn't look back, hugged his howling sister, and staggered to his feet.

He now has no choice but to find something in his hand as soon as possible to fight back. They were injured and the boat was still far from the shore. If they dived, neither brother nor sister would survive.

He was staggering looking for things like iron tools, when a familiar dull sound came from behind, thump, thump, thump, every time it seemed to hit his brain.

Peng Yugui's heart twitched into a ball, Baojiao screamed in his ear, unable to tell whether it was fear or disgust, he grabbed a broken jug beside his feet, and roared furiously, "I'll fight with you guys. !"

The blood on A-Niang's head was already blurred, but her arms were still clinging to Tian Yunde and Qi's feet.

When Tian Yunde and Qi Cui'e also knocked him down, the scene in front of him could not be seen clearly, and the pain at the bridge of the nose was unspeakable, like a broken bone.

In a trance, she felt that Baojiao touched her face with her little hand, and cried out of breath: "Brother, Brother..."

Suddenly those little hands left his face, and someone carried Baojiao away from him.

Baojiao's legs fluttered vigorously above his head, and she cried even louder.

Qi Cui'e panicked: "What should I do, if this child continues to cry like this, it will attract people sooner or later."

Another person dragged Peng Yugui to the side of the boat. He reluctantly raised his head and said with a dying breath, "Please... let Bao Jiao go..."

The man didn't say a word, and Peng Yugui subconsciously grabbed the deck with his fingernails, because it was too tight, there was a screeching sound along the road.

"She's still young..." he groaned, "...don't know anything..."

"Please, please let her go..."

"She won't, remember..."

Tian Yunde moved for a while and seemed a little hesitant.

Qi Cui'e realized that Tian Yunde was soft-hearted, and stammered: "All, you have come this far, what are you doing crazy, not to mention that this child already remembers things, just doesn't remember things, who doesn't know Baojiao around here? Take this With the child by your side, anyone will know that it is the Peng family that we harmed. You, you hurry up, I, I am afraid. "

Tian Yunde finally left Peng Yugui behind, got up and walked in the direction of Qi Cui'e. Peng Yugui realized what Tian Yunde was going to do, and twitched all over in fear.

Baojiao's cry got closer, and Tian Yunde carried her over.

She wept bitterly: "A brother... A brother..."

Peng Yugui was so frightened that he wanted to vomit. Even if he died immediately, it would not be more desperate than this moment. He was like a dying fish flipping in vain on the deck, just begging Tian Yunde and Qi Cui'e to have the last bit of conscience.

"aunt…"

Baojiao seemed to realize something, and her cry grew sharper: "Brother!"

Peng Yugui did everything he could, but he only wanted to move a little, and there was a strong **** smell in his throat, a man who was seriously injured, how could his body be controlled by his consciousness, and when he finally moved to Tian Yunde's feet: " Please, let it go..."

Before he could finish his words, with a plop, Bao's tender crying stopped abruptly.

There was a cool mist on his forehead, it was a splash of water.

Peng Yugui's ears fell silent, as if a sharp blade had been inserted into his heart, his internal organs were shattered in an instant, and he was completely mad.

He opened his mouth wide, and his throat made a grunting sound. Every time he took a breath, his body shivered with pain.

Baojiao is only five years old, he shouted in his heart: God, please open your eyes, please give me a way to survive, take my life, as long as she survives.

Tian Yunde didn't seem to expect that Peng Yugui would burst out with such power all of a sudden, so he hurried to catch up from behind. Before he could make another fatal blow on the back of Peng Yugui's head, Peng Yugui fell headfirst into the river.

When Peng Yugui regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the bank of an unfamiliar river, with the stars above his head shining brightly, the sound of water waves coming and going next to his ears, and the cool night wind, sending a distant Sanskrit sound, and across the waterfront, the moon in the distance could be faintly seen. The mountains stand under the color.

He twitched lightly, causing a severe headache at once.

Don't you die? He tried to identify where he was, the bridge of his nose and the back of his head were painful, but his torso was numb, and he barely moved, only to find that there was something in the left arm.

He stuck his neck and looked down, and by the starlight all over the floor, he found that it was a black, round, wet head.

His heart sank, and he turned over with difficulty, only to realize that it was his younger sister Baojiao. His arms were no longer conscious, but he was still holding Baojiao tightly. Baojiao's body was already stiff, her small body curled up in his arms, her face was so quiet, as if she used to sleep peacefully in A-Niang's arms.

Peng Yugui's lips began to tremble, she hugged her sister's cold body tightly, and burst into tears.

***

It was half a month after Peng Yugui woke up again. He was seriously injured and almost died. It was a young monk from a Buddhist temple on a nearby mountain who rescued him.

There are only two monks in the Buddhist temple. The old monk was merciful and not only took in Peng Yugui, but also buried Xiao Baojiao's body.

The two monks had pure temperaments. Because they suspected that Peng Yugui was being hunted down by the enemy, they never told anyone about his whereabouts. Peng Yugui had to be raised for a month before getting out of bed. In addition to the injury on the head, the bridge of the nose was also broken.

During his recovery, he heard intermittently about the appalling massacre.

The Tian family was lucky enough to escape, but their wealth and silk were looted. Shusheng Peng and his wife died tragically, and there was no chance of the Peng family's siblings surviving.

The county magistrate was snobby and snobbish, seeing that it was only a commoner who suffered, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After a month of investigation, there was no result, and he claimed that the Peng family was harmed by the rioting refugees, and the case was hastily closed.

Peng Yugui listened numbly, knowing that even if she went to the government to complain about grievances, the other party would only be perfunctory. The Tian family had already fled Yuezhou, and the government would never go to great lengths to send people to pursue them in other places. The Shi and his wife have changed their faces, and there may never be a day when they will be arrested.

Peng Yugui couldn't wait, he wanted to kill the pair of beasts with his own hands. Afraid of revealing his whereabouts, he begged the old monk and the little novice to keep the secret for him. The two of them understood his difficulties and agreed.

On the day she left the Buddhist temple, Peng Yugui stood dumbfounded in front of her sister's tomb for a long time, took out the rattle she made in the temple, bent over and inserted it in front of her sister's tomb.

After crying bitterly, he left the small solitary grave in the green mountain and valley, and turned back down the mountain three steps.

"In these years, I have been looking for the whereabouts of the Tian family, while trying to make a living." Peng Yugui's eyes were full of scarlet bloodshots, "Not long after I left Yuezhou, I was lucky enough to meet a Luoyang businessman named He En. He just lost his beloved son in 2003. Seeing that I was smart and honest, and having read some books, he recognized me as his adopted son and asked me to do business with him. During my stay in the He family, I met a strange man in the world. I saw that man. He was very skilled. He tried every means to be his teacher. He practiced hard for several years, and secretly learned a magic trick. Five years ago, He En's health was deteriorating. Seeing that I was quite talented in business, I had to bear the name of his dead son before I died. , officially turned me into a child of the He family. Since then, my name has been changed to He Mingsheng."

Lin Chengyou was in a complicated mood. It turned out to be the case. When he sent someone to Luoyang to inquire about the details of the "Xiaoyao Sanren", he also inquired about He Mingsheng's identity, but from the household registration of the He family, there was nothing wrong with He Mingsheng. In this way, he did not investigate further.

"When I found the Tian family, it was already two years ago." Peng Yugui's mouth cracked open, showing a devilish smile, "They did such a bad thing, but they didn't get the slightest retribution, since God refused to do so. Do it, then let me do it!"

Peng Yugui's nose was broken and his face was broken, and he deliberately made himself fat over the years. When he first met Tian Yunde in a hostel outside Chang'an, Tian Yunde didn't recognize him at all.

He sat at the table next to him and listened to Tian Yunde and his servants talking, only then did he know that Tian Yunde went to Yuezhou every year to buy Liaoling. Not only that, but Tian Yunde also always went to Taozhi Ferry. The new concubine Rong was Tian Yunde in Taozhi. The beauty that Ferry met by accident.

After hearing a few words, Peng Yugui wanted to eat his flesh and sleep his skin on the spot. It seems that Tian Yunde was not at ease because he didn't deliver the fatal blow that year. He is still alive, and he will definitely strike first.

After following Tian Yunde for a few days, Peng Yugui successively brought Tian Yunde the most vicious ghosts in the vicinity. Tian Yunde was entangled by all kinds of strange ghosts every night, and couldn't help but talk nonsense.

After hearing Tian Yunde's nonsense, Peng Yugui realized that the reason why Tian Yunde was afraid of his wife was because Qi Cui'e wrote down what they had done back then and hid it somewhere. If Tian Yunde dared to take her words, she would let the world know what he was .

When Tian Yunde was tortured into a trance, Peng Yugui asked Ji to write the **** word "Peng" at the bottom of Tian Yunde's cup. As expected, Tian Yunde was so frightened on the spot that he didn't go to Yuezhou to buy cloth, and fled overnight. When he returned to Chang'an, Tian Yunde had not been tired of eating fine food all these years, and he had already gotten the headwind.

After solving Tian Yunde, it was Qi Cui'e's turn, so there was Qi Cui'e's suicide, so there was the letter of confession full of "I am a dog".

"But how is it enough to just kill them?" Peng Yugui's eyes slowly slid across everyone's faces, "Is it too cheap for them to die like this? If it was you, what would you do?!"

Everyone was silent because no one could give an answer. Lin Chengyou looked at Peng Yugui dumbly, his expression more complicated than usual.

Although Peng Yugui was inquiring, he obviously had his own answer.

"Of course these are far from enough. For me, the moment the Tian family died is the beginning of revenge." Peng Yugui twitched her nose and laughed happily, "I detained the dead souls of this pair of jackals and tortured them every night. They, like mud, knelt before me and begged me to spare them.

"I asked Tian Yunde, why didn't you spare us back then? I grabbed Qi Cui'e's hair and asked her if she had any regrets over the years? My aunt treated them well, and my grandfather gave them money to help them tide over the difficulties. Baojiao was only five years old at the time, and before the accident, she sipped her 'uncle and aunt', and when they threw her into the water, did they ever feel the slightest bit of unbearable?!"

There was blood in his eyes, like he was crazy.

Accompanied by his accusation, the night wind also began to mix with whining sounds, which at first sounded like someone was crying.

"It's fortunate that there are such wonderful sorceries in the world." Peng Yugui's eyes flashed with tears, and she giggled, "Torai Qimang leads the way, I can torture them without panic. I dig their tongues, They cut off their hands. No matter how many times they are reincarnated in the future, they will all be born with mutilated appearance. Unfortunately, I am not good at learning skills, and I don’t know that there are still demons under them. cut off."

Every time he said a word, Peng Yugui's ferocious facial features stretched a little. When it came to the end, he looked at his hands with a confused expression: "I can stop after the last time..."

"Can you really stop?" someone said.

Peng Yugui was stunned, and slowly raised his eyes.

"Your target is the Tian family, but you have also started to use sorcery to harm others, haven't you?" Lin Chengyou looked at Peng Yugui thoughtfully, "You killed Qingzhi with sorcery, and Yao Huang with rotten grass. Juan Erli just accidentally bumped into your disguise, and you are also regarded as the target of murder. You first hid the bag of poisonous needles, and tonight you want to dig out her heart in the name of corpse evil, if it really calls you Get it, your viciousness and ruthlessness have almost caught up with the Tian couple."

"No!" The flesh on Peng Yugui's face twitched, "I am different from these two beasts, and I have my own difficulties."

Lin Chengyou paused, and the corner of his mouth slowly revealed a hint of irony.

"I have difficulties!" Peng Yugui's eyes were scattered, and she barely maintained her composure, "Qingzhi and Yao Huang should have died a long time ago, Juanerli, Juanerli—if ​​she tells what she sees, you will find me soon Go, I don't want to succumb to the law, because then I can't go back to Yuezhou."

He said in despair, "I want to go back to Yuezhou, to Taozhi Ferry, and to the place where my family lived."

Lin Chengyou looked at Peng Yugui's hideous face, and felt sad in his heart. This sorcery can quite hurt people's hearts. As long as they are infected, no one can keep their nature. He opens up, kills the first one, there will be a second, a third... In the future, whenever his vital interests are violated, Peng Yugui will habitually use killing to solve the problem.

"Everyone in this world has difficulties." Lin Chengyou sighed, "But when you swing the butcher's knife at innocent people, you can't go back to Taozhi Ferry.

Peng Yugui's eyes were sharp, and the right palm suddenly turned, and the fingertips became bright and dazzling, shooting a long line of silver.

The long line shot straight to Lin Chengyou's throat, but Lin Chengyou didn't dodge or avoid it, Teng Yuyi's pupils shrank, she knew this thing, it was as thin as rain, but it was unusually sharp, and if you touched it, it would kill you.

"Be careful." She dragged Lin Chengyou aside, "This thing can kill people!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou was already prepared, he tilted his head to the left, the silver chain in his right hand flicked, but he backhanded out the window. Then he got short and dragged Teng Yuyi into the room.

Peng Yugui was suspicious. Could it be that Lin Chengyou took the wrong direction in a panic? It's too late to think about it, it's serious to escape the window as soon as the silver chain on the neck is loosened.

The silver wire in his hand can cut gold and iron, as long as he escapes first, it will be too late to cut the silver chain around his neck when he goes outside.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the window, the silver frost-like moonlight suddenly changed color, and a large golden wing poked in along the window, which seemed to be half a zhang wide. To Peng Yugui's neck.

In a panic, Peng Yugui shot out the silver thread on his fingertips. He only hated that the silver thread was small, but the wings were too broad. The moment they touched, only a few feathers were shaved off. The giant claws grabbed it, and there was a heart-piercing pain on the neck.

Seeing that the blood was about to splash three feet, Peng Yugui felt a chill in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his collar was being pulled, and Lin Chengyou dragged him back into the room. At the same time, a talisman was ignited in his right hand, and he flew towards the monster.

"Come here uninvited, do you want to die?"

The monster was scorched by coals of fire, screaming and backing away.

"It's the young master in golden clothes." Lin Chengyou quickly put a few talismans in front of the window, turned around and instructed everyone, "We have to deal with corpses here, so you can follow me to the small Buddhist hall."

He said to Teng Yuyi again: "Juesheng and Qizhi will come over immediately. As long as you don't leave this door, the corpse evil will not want to break in within a short time."

Teng Yuyi was sweating profusely, staring at Lin Chengyou without saying a word.

"Don't worry." Lin Chengyou glanced at her, "I will definitely do what I promised."

Only then did Teng Yuyi nodded in satisfaction, and crouched beside Peng Yugui to check the silver wire in his hand.

"He was badly injured."

Peng Yugui's neck was dripping with blood, and was panting in pain. Lin Chengyou tore off a piece from the inner sleeve, squatted down and pressed it on Peng Yugui's wound, and said to Teng Yu, "Press it."

Just as Teng Yuyi took out her veil, seeing that Lin Chengyou had already pressed it down first, she had no choice but to tuck the veil back into her arms, taking over and pressing it down heavily.

Lin Chengyou freed his hand, took a pill from his waist purse and tried to stuff it into Peng Yugui's mouth.

Peng Yugui's face was as pale as paper, she carefully avoided the pill, and smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to hurt anyone just now, I just wanted to escape, but Shizi is right, what I did has deviated from the original intention, I can no longer do it. I deceived myself, everything is my own fault, I have more to die for, and the prince doesn't have to save me."

Lin Chengyou stuck Peng Yugui's jaw, put the pill into his mouth without saying a word, then took away the silver wire in Peng Yugui's hand, got up and said, "I'm only responsible for investigating the case, not for judging whether you are good or evil. Save your life, everything There is room to turn around.”
