I am fish

"What? Killed by Sun Mingyi's remnant party? Uncle Dong was also their murderer?" Ah Xun just woke up from a coma when he heard the news that Alai and Xiaoshi were dead. Blood oozing, the bowl containing the decoction in his hand was knocked over on the bed, splashing the quilt with the medicine juice, "Why did Sun Mingyi's remnant party kill them! They are just servants of the Xie family!"

"Well, I don't know about that either." The maid who told her couldn't answer her question, "I also heard Mr. Xie and others say this... Girl! Girl! Where are you going! The doctor ordered you to stay in bed rest!"

Ah Xun didn't care so much, he lifted the quilt, put on his shoes, grabbed a jacket at random, and rushed outside.

"Although there are many risks, the only thing I can rely on now is her face." Xie Taixing stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back. After returning, the sadness between his brows has not been relieved. Bad thing."

Mr. Yunmeng, who was sitting at the desk, said: "I have observed this slave for a while. Although this slave is difficult to tame, it breaks the bond of friendship. As long as you are optimistic about Mrs. Xiao, you will not be afraid that she will not submit."

Xie Taihang: "Xiao's bleeding has stopped now?"

Mr. Yunmeng looked at him with scrutiny.

"If she died, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity?" Xie Taihang added.

Ever since Mr. Yunmeng revealed his plan to assassinate Wei Zizhuo, Xie Taixing always felt a little bit overwhelmed by him, being led by the nose.Although he pulled the thread from that big man to Xie's house, Xie Taixing always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xiao is fine. The prince has already..." Mr. Yunmeng was talking when suddenly the door of the study was knocked open. Ah Xun rushed in from among the servants, and asked Alai and Mrs. Xiao after entering the door. of the matter.

Xie Taixing was very angry when he saw Ah Xun rushing in: "What can I say about the death of a pair of lowly slaves. Look at your disheveled clothes!"

"Father!"

Xie Taixing turned to Mr. Yunmeng who was sitting beside him and said, "So, let's do as we said before."

"Yes." Mr. Yunmeng cupped his hands and left, Ah Xun asked:

"Father, don't you think this matter is weird? Uncle Dong died in our Xie Mansion, how did Sun Mingyi's remnants kill people without showing any traces? If this is the case, wouldn't everyone in our Xie Mansion be in danger? And you really only put Alai Are they slaves? Ah Lai, after all..."

"Shut up! The rest of Sun Mingyi's party will only clean up as his father, so you don't have to ask about this again!"

Xie Taixing's tough attitude made Ah Xun a little puzzled, Xie Taixing quickly changed his attitude, and sighed: "I didn't expect this, I didn't expect this villager Sun Mingyi to gather a group of high-ranking people to make trouble, Killing people. I am still investigating where the Xie family gap is. Your brother who was eager to chase slaves accidentally fell off his horse and was injured. He was unable to send the annual gift to Dongchun. Place it somewhere. It happened that a lot of things happened before the New Year's Eve, and my father was just upset."

Ah Xun comforted him: "Father, don't worry, I'll ask Cheng Yi, maybe I can find some clues. About the annual ceremony... I remember that Uncle Dong used to have a fellow countryman who delivered goods in a sports car. In four days, his driving skills are still flat and chopping. I'll go and find out, maybe I can invite him at a high price."

Xie Taihang nodded slightly, and Ah Xun asked again: "Father, where are Alai and Xiao's remains now? You must have been busy with your affairs recently, and you must have no time to take care of them. The funeral of their mother and daughter will be arranged by your daughter."

"Their bodies have fallen off the cliff with the carriage, and they can't be found."

"This……"

"Okay, you go."

When Ah Xun came out of Xie Taihang's study, he happened to see heavy snow covering the sky.

Even though it was the middle of winter in a famine year, the flower branches and grass in the flower garden were still neatly trimmed, and most of them were made by A Lai.

Ah Xun stopped in the flower garden, feeling disappointed.

Unexpectedly, Alai and the others died like this, and they couldn't even find their bodies.Who will prune the flowers and branches for the Xie Mansion when the branches and leaves are luxuriant next spring?

……

A Lai still wakes up on the lonely boat.

Without any chains, the solitary boat she was lying on was connected to a slightly larger boat in front of her at the end, and a man with a gaping mouth was standing at the bow of the boat, holding a long pole and singing loudly.

Alai recalled that she passed out when the iron fork was pulled away from her shoulder alive. When she woke up, the two sides of the river were closed, and the river was much narrower. It seemed that she was about to reach her destination.

A piece of hemostatic plaster was roughly applied to the wound, and the pain was still unbearable, and the pain of broken ribs continued to torment her.

The open-mouthed man dropped the long pole and jumped directly off the boat. The bitterly cold river water submerged his knees. Without realizing it, he dragged the two boats with his bare hands to the rough wharf built on several logs, picked up Alai and threw him onto it.

The open-mouthed man left without saying anything, and the two boats were floating on the river without any attachments.

Ah Lai was in pain and cold, curled up on the empty Luoxue pier.

I woke up several times and wanted to find a warm shelter from the wind, but I didn't have the strength to move.

In a trance, she seemed to be embraced by her grandmother, and rough hands gently ran through her hair, leading her to enlightenment in the simple backyard of Xie Mansion, teaching her to read and understand, and explaining Lao Zhuang.

Dao can be Dao, very Dao; name can be famous, very famous.

Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Named, the mother of all things.

Therefore, always have no desire to observe its beauty; always have desire to observe its beauty.

……

"Aunt..."

A Lai hugged her tightly, and the flying crystal hexagons soon covered her small body.

Tears fell from the corners of the eyes and were frozen into ice.

She felt warmth in hallucinations several times, and the warmth was on the other side of the river. She was very happy to cross over, hungry, and eager to dig out a roasted sweet potato to eat.

Ah Lai suddenly stopped in the middle of her run, and she saw her mother standing on the other side of the river and waving to her:

go back.

I couldn't hear my mother's voice, but I could only tell what she was talking about from the shape of her mouth.

Go back, you didn't deserve this.

When Alai was confused, three fingers landed in front of her eyes. She was terrified and couldn't help shouting.

This shout woke her up, and she was still lingering in the ice and snow.

Pain wakes you up and hurts your heart.She knew that if she continued like this, there would only be a dead end.

"anyone there……"

She can't die here, she still has a lot to do.

"Is there anyone! Help me..."

The continuous yelling made her throat feel as if it had been severely scratched by a rough stone, and when she couldn't say a word, she finally heard something different.

There was a carriage coming through the wind and snow, and Alai didn't know who lifted it up, and who poured her a big bowl of water, all she knew was that the bowl of water saved her life.

Before falling asleep again in the warm carriage, a thought came to mind:

It must be Xie Taihang and Mr. Yunmeng.

Since they tried their best to get me to lie dormant beside Wei Zizhuo, they definitely wouldn't let me die.All the torture was just to make me suffer and be obedient.

These beasts.

Knowing that she would not die, Alai quickly fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hard plank bed, covered with a torn quilt, and her blood-stained clothes were replaced with loose linen .

There are no curtains at the corner of the bed, and there are not even any decorations in the room. There is only a simple bed and a pot of charcoal fire in the corner.

The wounds on her body had been treated more carefully, and the ends of the oversized wound on her shoulder were stitched together with black thread.Alai was slightly surprised, remembering that his mother had told her about this suture technique. It is said that different suturing techniques should be used for different parts of the wound, and the wound can heal quickly after suturing.

Ah Lai tried to sit up. Although the pain in his ribs and shoulders was still unbearable, he was finally able to walk freely.She pushed open the door of the hut, and outside was a messy courtyard full of dead leaves.There is no elegant landscape in the courtyard. There is only a thin white-headed old man standing in the courtyard. His thin single clothes are blown close to his body by the cold wind. The sparse hair on the top of his head is less than the messy beard. This person is like a skeleton without a trace of flesh and blood.He held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and read them carefully with both hands, as if he didn't notice that anyone behind him was looking at him.

Alai thought he was ridiculous, dressed like this and stood reading in the cold wind, as if possessed by a demon.She didn't remind him, just sat there and looked at him, wondering if he was a miracle doctor who knew how to suture.

After more than half an hour passed, the old man read the whole volume and chanted with his head held high:

"...So, my boy, let me tell you the old way. Listen to my plan, and I have no regrets. The sky is difficult, and it is called the mourning country. It is not far away, and the sky is not far away. Returning to its virtue, it is a big thorn for the people. .”

Listening to the verses in his song "Daya. What a Swing", A Lai was rebellious and uninhibited. He must have been a corrupt scholar who was frustrated in the officialdom.

Holding the bamboo slips in his hands, the old man seemed to have spotted Alai long ago, and asked, "Can you read?"

This bald donkey must be in the same group as Mr. Yunmeng, and Alai lazily ignored him with his chin propped up.

He went back to the room and took a bunch of bamboo slips out and threw them in front of Alai.

"This is all the information about Zhen Wenjun. You need to memorize it verbatim. I will ask you tomorrow."

"You guys made it up yourself?"

The old man didn't look at her directly, let alone talk to her, and went straight back to his room.

A Lai looked in through the broken and drafty window, and saw him continuing to read, sighing endlessly.

On the second day, the old man really came to Alai and asked her to recite it.

Alai opened his mouth and came, saying that the Zhen family was originally from the Pingcang family, and they were accidentally involved in a riot. In order to survive, her parents took her and fled into the mountains. She was also born in the mountains.Her mother died when she was two years old, and she and her father grew up dependent on each other...

These things about Zhen Wenjun's life experience don't seem to be fabricated out of thin air. If they want to deceive Wei Zizhuo, I'm afraid Xie Taihang and the others still need to hold some real materials in their hands.Most likely, they went to the old place to search and found some clues that Wei Zizhuo must also know.

After Ah Lai finished, the old man asked her to recite it again, and Ah Lai said again, with several words wrong, the old man snapped a bamboo slip down:

"You memorized these few lines wrong, how can you hide it from the eyes of the guards!"

A Lai was so beaten that he burst into tears, and said angrily, "Who tells the truth and sets up a defense so that it's verbatim? Only rote lies can say exactly the same!"

The old man was in a trance after being told, and stood there for a long time in a daze, then suddenly questioned her Confucian classics like a cannonball.The morals he asked were all the ones that his mother had passed her exams before she was ten years old, so Alai naturally answered them calmly and fluently, and even turned against the general.

Being refuted by the yellow-mouthed child, the old man seemed to have aged more than ten years, unable to speak and trembling, he left without hesitation.

Two days later, the old man disappeared. On the evening of the third day, a man and a woman arrived in a carriage.

The man looked to be no more than forty years old, with dark skin and a face like a stone, wearing a black light jacket, tall and tall, with a long scar from under his right eye to the corner of his mouth.This person exudes a cold air that is not easy to approach, and walks silently.

The woman was completely opposite to him. Her laughter was heard before entering the hospital. Her long dress was brightly colored like a peacock, and her real age could not be seen under her delicate and exaggerated makeup.From a long distance, she came quickly with a long skirt, calling the name "Zhen Wenjun".

"The prince said that he can't teach you, so you can skip the lecture notes and start learning intrigue and charm. I thought what kind of genius, but she is a shriveled girl." Pa wiped off the filth on her face, looked at her appearance carefully, and said, "Mr. Yunmeng really has a pair of poisonous eyes, and this face is well-born. As long as I have been trained by my concubine, I will teach men all over the world to look at you." It's a sight to behold."

"Mesmery?" A Lai suddenly felt bad when he heard these two words that had nothing to do with him, his face flushed slightly, and he waved the woman's hand away, "Alai doesn't need to learn any charms."

The woman's face darkened, and the man standing behind who hadn't said anything had sneaked up behind Alai at some point, grabbing the back of Alai's neck with one hand.A Lai felt numb all over his body and lost control of his legs, and immediately fell to his knees.

This man is so powerful, his whereabouts are silent and there is no way to catch his breath.

The woman sat lazily on the stone steps and nodded Alai's head: "What Alai, you have to remember that you are now Zhen Wenjun, Wei Zizhuo's savior Zhen Wenjun, understand? From today on I will be your adoptive mother Yueshi Ajiao, he is your adoptive father, Jiang Daochang. After your biological father died, you went down the mountain alone to make a living and lived with us all the time. This person 'Alai' and her mother Xiao were killed by the remnants of Sun Mingyi. There is no more Alai."
