The vicious villain is pretending to be weak again

"Okay, okay, I must make it clear." Heping rubbed his face vigorously, trying to recall the things about Phoenix Mountain in the past few years.

"The appearance of the mountain ghost was after the flood four years ago. At that time, there was a flood in the south. We also passed by many victims... Hey, it was so hard at that time..."

Sighing peacefully, he finally revealed the matter of the mountain ghost in Phoenix Mountain.

In fact, at the beginning, everyone went into the mountain as usual. The women went outside to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables, while the men formed a small team in groups, hoping to hunt some meat. At that time, every household would Hope is pinned on this Phoenix Mountain.

But batch after batch of people entered the Phoenix Mountain, but never came back.

The Phoenix Mountain that they used to rely on in the past has become a ghost mountain that can eat people.

During that period of time, Bai'an town was full of white affairs, Cao county magistrate ignored the obstruction and led a group of people into Phoenix Mountain.

Peace remembers that day, it was raining.

County Magistrate Cao disappeared for seven days, and when he came back, his already thin face was deeply sunken.

He came back alone.

With tears in his eyes, he said that the mountain ghost was rampant, and that Phoenix Mountain had become a ghost mountain.

Everyone is convinced, every household is jealous of this Phoenix Mountain, and dare not take an inch closer.

Hearing this, Cao Hede's expression was a bit ugly. He had already recalled that what Heping said was very different from what his father said.

Are there really mountain ghosts in it?

He wanted to ask, but closed his mouth again.

Bringing up the past, the peaceful mood has calmed down a lot, but it is hard to hide the loss.

"I don't want our family's Ah Fu to be rich and powerful, but I just want her to come back safely, if..."

Speaking of this, Heping closed his eyes tightly in pain, not daring to say any more.

Cao Hede let out a foul breath, and he also knew that this matter was very difficult.

"This matter can't be delayed any longer. Let's go into the mountains to find someone as soon as possible."

After the words fell, a chuckle came from behind him.

The young man who had agreed to ignore him was leaning against the door, under the dim light, 'he' had narrow shoulders, long legs, and a tight waist, misty rain and cold waves between his eyes, and his sharpness was beginning to show in the blink of an eye.

"The two of you went into the mountain like this, just to die, besides, your father's people will come soon, if you don't leave, no one will be able to save the little girl."

Cao Hede's eyes lit up, he was a little excited.

"Brother Lin."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go."

'Lin Jiang' crossed his arms and raised his chin impatiently.

Behind him was still the wooden-faced 'Niu Er'.

Cao Hede's eyes were sour, and he hurriedly chased after him. For some reason, he always felt that Brother Niu was kinder today than usual.

Heping also wanted to follow, but the woman grabbed her hand forcefully.

She shed tears, her eyes were firm yet fragile, and she shook her head pleadingly.

do not go.

Heping stopped in his tracks, the soles of his feet seemed to have taken root, and the dense branches were entangled with the floor, making him unable to move.

He squatted down and hugged the woman into his arms forcefully.

In fact, there was one more thing that he didn't tell the Young Master.

Four years ago, his wife was also taken captive by the mountain ghost, but he didn't dare to say anything. When he risked his life and went into the mountain to find her, she had already had her tongue twisted and passed out.

What happened inside, he didn't know.

Whenever it is mentioned, it is just tearing open the bloody wound, which only adds to the sadness.

Fortunately, they still have children and this family.

four years ago.

Peace buried her head on the woman's neck, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, which was the guilt and helplessness after the painful struggle.

He didn't tell Cao Hede the truth.

Last night, someone arrested the children in the family, not only Ah Fu, but also her younger brothers and sisters. They sent a letter with only one request.

Deceived Shaodong's family into Phoenix Mountain.

Although he didn't know the reason, he finally made a choice.

He secretly thought.

sorry……

sorry……

I'm sorry... Young Master...

.

The night will pass, and the day will dawn.

The man arrived as promised.

In the gazebo several miles outside Bai'an Town, facing the morning sun, the young man was sitting in the pavilion, with mountains stretching behind him. She was sitting in the octagonal pavilion, boiling water and making tea, feeling very comfortable.

The moment he saw his face, Magistrate Cao's expression turned ugly.

"It's you."

Jiang Lingyi raised her eyes and smiled, and raised her hand to signal County Magistrate Cao to take a seat.

In this desolate place, for the sake of his son, the county magistrate Cao came here alone, he really loves his son like his life.

"Master Cao, please sit down."

"You are really brave." Magistrate Cao looked around Jiang Lingyi coldly, only the guard called 'Niu Er' kept walking.

"Lord Cao loves his son with all his heart, which is admirable." Jiang Lingyi pursed her lips and poured a cup of tea on her own.

"What exactly do you want?"

County magistrate Cao stood outside the pavilion, hearing the words, Jiang Lingyi's mocking sideways eyes swept over him.

"Master Cao doesn't know why I came here, or...you trust your master so much that you can cover the sky with one hand?"

She no longer had the smoothness and dandyism she showed on weekdays. At this time, she was holding the cup with her bare hands, her brows and brows were cold, and County Magistrate Cao lowered her face, and slowly clenched her hands tightly.

"My son regards you as a friend, how can you..."

"Maybe Master Cao has forgotten that I am not the one who is really full of evil."

Jiang Lingyi looked indifferent, without any guilt.

It was she who deliberately approached Cao Hede, it was she who specially arranged for Cao Hede to know about the Phoenix Mountain three days ago, and it was she who kidnapped the Heping family and tricked Cao Hede into Phoenix Mountain.

All this was just to threaten his father.

Cao Rongsheng may be a small ring of evil in Phoenix Mountain, but he deserves to die too.

Jiang Lingyi's voice was piercingly cold.

"Now make up for the mistakes, maybe you can save your son's life."

Magistrate Cao's lips trembled, his face was pale.

He had expected such a day long ago. Four years ago, he purposely let Cao Hede go to study everywhere incognito. For four years, he never saw him.

They lived in peace for the past four years, so he let go of his guard and asked him to come back.

Unexpectedly...he was still involved.

"If it is handed over, Hede and I will inevitably die."

Magistrate Cao gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down. His knees sank and he knelt down, discussing the conditions with Jiang Lingyi.

"Lin, Lord Lin, the matter of Phoenix Mountain is definitely not what I wanted. It was just forced by others and I had to do it. I have a defense map of Phoenix Mountain in my hand, but I have only one request... After the matter is completed, send us away .”

He also knew what terrible deeds he was doing these years. Fortunately, he secretly wrote down the defense of Phoenix Mountain, so that one day he could use this defense map to fight for a way out for himself.

He has already prepared a way out, as long as he and his son leave with the money, the Southern Song Dynasty is so big that it will not be easy for others to find them.

Jiang Lingyi remained silent for a long time, and slowly put down the teacup and said.

"Tell me, are the people who died in Phoenix Mountain like you, able to bargain with those people when they were dying?"

Magistrate Cao's pupils shrank suddenly, and Jiang Lingyi lowered her eyes, looking at the face born of the rich life, her voice was calm.

"Before dark, I want to see what you said."

"Then my son..."

County magistrate Cao hunched over, his belly almost stuck to the ground, Jiang Lingyi looked away and said calmly.

"After the matter is completed, someone will take you to see him."
