Tanhualu

Shaozhou is close to the boundary of Jiangnan, and the scenery here is somewhat similar to that of Jiangnan in the winter and spring seasons.

Yang Jin was galloping on the horse, and countless mountains and waters, flowers and trees suddenly passed by before her eyes, and they were all thrown behind her where she could not find them.She couldn't help but recall the time spent in Wanyue Villa many years ago, from New Year's Eve to the first month, and then to the beginning of spring.

The plum blossoms here are also like those in Wanyue Villa, right?The plum blossoms all over the mountains, like guards, protected the entire Wanyue Villa.

A feeling related to nostalgia gradually filled Yang Jin's chest.

Jiansu Villa is also lying in a mountain depression.The difference is that if Wanyue Villa is a paradise comparable to a fairyland, then this place is more like a human fortress with both offensive and defensive capabilities.In other words, it was more like a dormant giant beast, just waiting for the moment when the prey approached, then jumped up, pounced on it, and then swallowed it into its belly.

Yang Jin didn't know why she had such a sudden feeling, maybe it was because she chased all the way but failed to catch up with Shi Han, and she already imagined in her heart that Shi Han was in deep danger at this moment.

So she told herself silently: Even if it is a dragon pool and a tiger's lair, Shi Han must be guarded comprehensively, even if it requires a life-and-death struggle, she will not hesitate.

He Nishang's entourage had already rushed back to the village in advance to report the letter.

He Nishang thought that every time he went out and returned home, the butler in the village would wait for him at the door.Unexpectedly, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of the gate of Jiansu Villa from a distance.

It's Daddy!

He Nishang was very surprised——

It's good for daddy to pamper him, but he has never greeted him personally like this.I think the old man lost his temper, he hadn't seen him for many days, and he missed him very much.

He Nishang was sure of his guess, and couldn't help being in a good mood, so he whipped his horsewhip hard and galloped in the direction of Jiansu Villa.

Yang Jin also has good eyesight, she met He Pu once, and of course she recognizes this man when she sees him again.

She flattered and followed behind He Nishang, thinking about what might happen next, how she should deal with it, and how to help Shihan come out smoothly.

Her horse was getting closer and closer to He Pu, and He Pu's facial features became more and more clear...

Yang Jin frowned suddenly: Why, He Pu's gaze seems to be fixed on him all the time?Moreover, that gaze...is that strange?Could it be related to Shi Han?

Thinking of Shi Han, Yang Jin's concern became confused, and he felt that there was something terrible hidden in He Pu's gaze, so his brows were tightened even more.

Thinking wildly like this, the group of people was already getting close.At a distance of two feet away from He Pu and his entourage, He Nishang reined in the reins first, turned over and jumped off the horse, no longer caring about the horse, and happily ran to He Pu in front of him, and climbed onto He Pu He smiled and said, "Daddy! Daddy! Don't you miss your daughter too much? You just stay here anxiously, and you must see your daughter come back to be happy?"

Being entangled by He Nishang, He Pu smiled amiably and meaningfully, and said, "Yes! As a father, I miss my daughter very much!"

As he said this, his gaze had already focused on Yang Jin who was standing alone in the distance.

"Are there any guests?" he asked again.

He Nishang heard the words, left his father behind, turned around and pulled Yang Jin over, Yin Yin introduced: "Father, Ah Jin came all the way from Beijing to celebrate your birthday!"

"Ah Jin?" He Pu said slowly, his eyes never leaving Yang Jin's face.

"Ah Jin is Yang Jin! His name is Yang Jin! Do you still remember him? He was the one who saved my daughter's life and protected her all the way! You must not forget him!" He Nishang chattered excitedly.

In this situation, Yang Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and cup his fists to salute: "He... He Zhuang Zhu, hello!"

She originally wanted to call him "Uncle He", but when it came to her mouth, she changed the name.

He Pu gave a "hmm" as a promise, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"It's a guest from afar, Yang Xiaoxia, please talk inside." He Pu gave way.

"Don't dare," Yang Jin said hastily, "You can just call me Yang Jin."

"Forget it." He Pu pondered.

He suddenly thought of something, turned to He Nishang, raised his face and said, "How did you do what you were asked to do?"

When He Nishang heard the words, his face immediately collapsed, and then he said helplessly: "Daddy, are you talking about the owner of Shizhuang? You don't know, I really went to invite her, but who would have thought that she is a quick-tempered person, so please let me go first." coming……"

He Nishang spoke halfway, but suddenly stopped, with his mouth half-opened, looking at He Pu's expression, blinking his eyes and saying: "Master Shizhuang, she...isn't she here yet?"

Yang Jin on the side, when he heard this, his heart sank immediately.

He Pu slipped a glance at Yang Jin's slightly changed expression, and then snorted at He Nishang: "Who was the one who boasted to Haikou to relieve father's worries? I don't even know how to hire someone!"

He Nishang was also a little dumbfounded, "No way! We rushed all the way back from the middle of Beijing non-stop, and there is only one road from the capital to Shaozhou... Could it be that we passed the owner of Shizhuang? She, she didn't Could it be that he lost his way and lost it in the forest?"

The corners of He Pu's mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped her with a sullen face, "What nonsense!"

He Nishang also knew that his guess was outrageous, but this matter is too strange, right?

"Father, the owner of Shizhuang is not...difficult, right?" She wanted to say "something unexpected", but when she thought that Yang Jin might be more anxious, she changed her words abruptly.

She hurriedly turned to Yang Jin again and said, "Ah Jin, don't worry! I'll send someone to look for Master Shi, she will be fine! If you are so anxious to find her, you won't be able to find her!"

The expression on Yang Jin's face was even uglier, and he subconsciously turned his head to observe He Pu.

He Pu's expression is very interesting.He looked at Yang Jin very gently, but when he turned to He Nishang, he returned to his previous solemnity.It made Yang Jin think that he was hallucinating for a while.

"What nonsense are you going to do again!" He Pu scolded He Nishang, "Let's go in and talk!"

"But daddy, Master Shizhuang..." He Nishang was puzzled.

He Pu glared at her: "Before you arrived, the letter from the owner of Shizhuang had already arrived, saying that her business in the village needed to be taken care of urgently, and she couldn't attend the banquet as scheduled."

After he finished speaking, he said coldly to He Nishang: "If you point at you to do things, it's a mess if you don't do everything!"

Yang Jin was the one who got the biggest response to these words.

Not only did He Nishang know Shi Han's whereabouts, but also knew that he had done a bad job, so he stuck out his tongue in secret, and followed He Pu flatteringly, chattering about what he had seen and heard along the way, and the birthday gift he had prepared for He Pu, trying to dissuade him. My father's anger.

Yang Jin had countless thoughts in his mind in an instant.

She couldn't trust this He Pu, so she couldn't believe what he said.

Isn't Shi Han's destination here?There will never be any "business in the village" that is more important than coming here!Think about how determined Shi Han was before he left.So, is there really any "Letter from Master Shizhuang"?

Yang Jin felt extremely uneasy in his heart, this Jiansu Villa, the owner of He Puhe Villa, was full of strange and inexplicable things.Could he... have already harmed Shi Han?Or, imprison Shi Han somewhere in the village?

Yang Jin became more and more frightened, her heart was in a state of confusion, so she didn't follow the others.

It wasn't until she felt that the atmosphere was rather weird that she jumped out of her messy thoughts and realized that she was the only one standing there alone, while the rest of the people had already stepped into the gate of Jiansu Villa.

He Pu and He Nishang, father and daughter, looked back at her side by side.

He Pu didn't say anything.

But He Nishang said anxiously: "Ah Jin! What's wrong with you? Come in quickly!"

Yang Jin pursed her lips, still a little hesitant in her heart.

He Pu put his hands behind his back, as if he was patiently waiting for Yang Jin to come over.

But He Nishang was afraid that Yang Jin would just turn around and leave, so he ran back in a hurry, pulled Yang Jin, and said, "Go in quickly! Oh, when you arrive at my door, you have to go in and have a cup of tea, right?"

Yang Jin couldn't stand her pestering, so he had to reluctantly follow her in.

"Daddy! It's the first time for Ah Jin to come to our house, so let's treat him well!" He Nishang pulled Yang Jin and said coquettishly to He Pu.

He Pu smiled dotingly, and said: "For father, I have already prepared the kitchen."

"Daddy is the best!" He Nishang cheered.

Yang Jin only felt that his head was as big as a bucket.

The dinner table.

"Mussels and thin wine are not respectful, Ajin don't dislike them." He Pu said modestly.

He followed He Nishang and called Yang Jin.

For that intimate "A Jin", Yang Jin was quite uncomfortable.And the dishes on the table made her feel even more uncomfortable: almost all meat dishes!

Yang Jin loves meat, especially all kinds of well-cooked meat.

Shi Han was worried that she would eat too much meat, which would affect her body growth, so in Hanshi Villa, although she could eat exquisite meat, she ate very moderately.But the dishes in front of her were not only cooked with authenticity and heart, but also enough to whet one's appetite just by looking at them, they were prepared according to her preferences.

In this way, Yang Jin couldn't help but feel suspicious: this He Pu, what kind of thoughts does he have?And why does he know his own taste so well?

Although the food was delicious, Yang Jin ate absent-mindedly because he had something on his mind.

He Nishang was obviously the one who seemed to be in the best mood. She looked at He Pu with a smile, and said, "Daddy really puts his heart into it. I only mentioned to Daddy once that Ah Jin likes to eat meat, so Daddy prepared so many delicious dishes." treat her!"

He Pu smiled slightly, and said: "Since Ah Jin is your guest, she should treat her well."

Yang Jin didn't relax because of the conversation between the father and daughter. She felt that the matter was by no means that simple.

What disturbed her the most was that He Nishang was pure-hearted and thought that Shi Han was the elder of his clan. He Pu was the lord of a village and a well-known figure in the world. According to common sense, shouldn't he ask himself a question? What is the relationship with Shi Han?Unless...unless he knows everything!

Thinking of this, the chopsticks in Yang Jin's hands were suspended in mid-air.

Seeing this, He Pu said gently, "What? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

The facial features on this face are very similar to He Nishang, no one would doubt that they are father and daughter.But Yang Jin felt that there was nothing awkward about it, it was an inexplicable feeling.

She shook her head cautiously, lowered her eyes and said, "It tastes good."

So continue to move the chopsticks.

She didn't see that He Pu stared at her, inadvertently revealing a moment of kindness.

At this time, seeing the butler of Sushan Villa brought a jar of wine, he respectfully said to He Pu: "Master, this is the bar you ordered just now?"

He Pu glanced at it, nodded, pointed to the table and said, "Put it here."

The butler put it down in response and withdrew.

He Nishang said in surprise: "Daddy, do you want to drink?"

He Pu said with a smile: "Seeing Ah Jin today, I feel like a good match for my father, let's have a few drinks with him."

"No! Daddy!" He Nishang stopped him.

But He Pu waved his hands disapprovingly and said, "It's just a few glasses of wine, it's fine."

There are many people in the Jianghu who like to drink, and there are many people who are good at drinking.Yang Jin was surprised by He Nishang's fuss.

But He Nishang turned to her and said: "Ah Jin, please persuade my father! He can't drink alcohol...he will feel uncomfortable for several days if he drinks alcohol!"

Yang Jin is a doctor, and he knows that some people are born with a constitution that cannot drink alcohol, and this cannot be forced.If you drink it forcibly, the light ones will suffer physically, and the heavy ones will be in danger of life.

She wanted to dissuade her, but He Pu raised her hand to stop her, "It's just a little wine, don't listen to children making a fuss!"

Yang Jin was slightly taken aback, thinking that if He Nishang is a child, am I not?

But He Pu had already opened the clay seal and filled two wine cups.

The mellow wine aroma hits the nostrils.Yang Jin had some experience with the contents of the glass, smelling the aroma of the wine, his eyes lit up, and he secretly thought it was a good wine.

"Come! Drink this cup to the brim!" He Pu pushed a wine cup to Yang Jin's face, while he raised the other.

Although this person is unpredictable, but in the end he is a person who is decades older than himself, so enthusiastic, it is not easy to refute face.Yang Jin had no choice but to hold up the wine cup, saying: "I am a junior, I should drink it up. Congratulations to the owner, please feel free!"

Seeing her serious expression, He Pu nodded slightly, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

He Nishang saw that the two of them drank all the wine in their glasses, and the whole person became nervous, looked up and down He Pu with concern, and couldn't help reaching out to cover He Pu's forehead, "Father, what are you doing?" What's the matter? Shall I help you to rest?"

He Pu dodged her hand unhappily, and said, "What nonsense! Why is being a father so unbearable?"

The other party was so enthusiastic, Yang Jin was still full of suspicion, but the feeling of guilt unconsciously arose.

She felt that whether it was out of courtesy or something else, she should ask a question with concern.

However, before she could utter half a sentence of "He Zhuangzhu, what do you think?", an astonishing discovery popped into her mind first——

He Pu's face gradually changed color because of the wine he just drank.

Drinking alcohol changes color, and everyone's physique is different, and the change of complexion after drinking alcohol will also be different, which is nothing surprising.

The strange thing is that He Pu's complexion is not like that of ordinary people, when it turns pale, it is all pale; when it turns red, the whole face is basically red.His face, however, is very obviously showing different shades of color.Moreover, those different colors contrasted with each other, and the difference in size and length could be clearly seen, very much like...healed wounds.

Yang Jin was stunned by this terrible discovery, and the first thing that came to his mind was, could it be that this Zhuang Zhu He has some hidden disease?

However, next, she suddenly remembered the medical case notes of Granny Yao that she had read in the past. There was such a medical case in it:

There was a poor man who accidentally fell into the valley while going up the mountain to collect herbs.The place where he fell was a snake den, in which seven or eight small snakes were nestled.Fortunately, he saved his life, but unfortunately, his face and whole body were bitten beyond recognition by those little snakes, and the bones on his face were injured in several places.Thanks to the skillful hands of Granny Yao, she healed and applied medicine to the man, and sewed up the wounds on his face and body with extremely fine needles.

After the man recovered, his appearance had changed a lot compared to before, but it would not ruin his appearance.However, since then, he can no longer touch spicy and stimulating food, especially alcohol, which is a taboo, otherwise the old wound will be extremely itchy, and the skin that has been sutured will also show a terrible hideous color.

The doctor's order that Granny Yao wrote down for that person in the medical notes is still vivid in her memory, but He Pu's face is still in front of her eyes.

Yang Jin's breathing was stagnant, and a thought more terrifying than He Pu's face at the moment suddenly jumped into her mind——

"My mother's surname is also Yang... Ajin, do you think we are destined for each other?"

"My mother passed away after giving birth to me..."

"For so many years, my father has only guarded my mother, and has never continued... Ah Jin, don't you say that the affection between my father and my mother is particularly enviable?"

These words flooded in all at once, making Yang Jin overwhelmed.

She stared desperately at He Pu's face in horror, shaking uncontrollably all over her body, trembling violently.

Can things in the world really be explained by coincidence or "fate"?

The young Yang Jin used to believe in the fate between people.However, what has she experienced?

Yu Wenkai, Shi Han, Yao Peilin, Yu Wentang, Yao Popo... all these people, how much of her encounter, acquaintance, and reunion with them was created by fate?

From the time she left Wanyue Mountain Villa and Xuanyuan Sect, and entered the rivers and lakes alone, how many times has she been foolishly deceived?

This kind of deception may have started earlier, as early as when she was born.

Although, the vast majority of people and things are well-intentioned to her, they have no intention of harming her.However, such a well-intentioned deception is actually hurtful.Because, as an insider, she is the one who is the key to tie these things together, and she is the one who doesn't know the inside story.

So what now?The one in front of him... He Pu, let's call him that, what kind of thoughts does he have about himself?Why did he do these things?

He is a well-known figure in the world, he is the lord of a village, he is dozens of years older than himself, will he be immature enough to know his own weakness, and still show it boldly?

Yang Jin is no longer that innocent child who has been tricked countless times, she has gradually learned how to face the deceit and deceit in this world.

However, regardless of He Pu's scheming and plans, all kinds of situations point to the same place, which is what Yang Jin wants to find out more eagerly——

He Pu, what is his real identity?

So Yang Jin became more sure that no matter what schemes He Pu had planned against her, she couldn't leave Jiansu Villa for the time being.There are some things that she must find out.

The author has something to say: He Jike, Pu Jijian, so...

There are many routines, and Xiao Yang gradually figured out the routines.

Kawen is stuck very badly, and now the main update of "The Third World" has a new mind, you can rest assured to jump into the pit.
