The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks exerted enough energy to slash at Lin Shao with a single blow, but in the blink of an eye, the person in front of him suddenly disappeared. Losing support, he staggered forward tens of meters, leaned on a short wooden post, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Lin Shao said to the remaining bandits who were still eyeing the tiger, "I didn't want to do it, but you are too difficult. As long as you sincerely let our carriage pass, I will not care about you, otherwise... ..."

The square-headed and broad-faced man at the head snorted coldly: "You beat our fourth brother like this, and you still want us to let you go? Let you be buried in this forest today."

Immediately, he turned his head and ordered, "Lao Liu, Lao Qi, Lao Ba, you three go to stop the carriage, and don't leave a single one alive."

The three bandits immediately turned around and flew away in the direction of the carriage.Lin Shaodeng felt furious immediately, and after throwing out a few hidden weapons, he drew out the soft sword from his waist and flew to the three people to block their way.

The gangsters were ruthless and aggressive, and Lin Shao gradually became powerless.Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, the square-headed, broad-faced man raised the barbed hammer at his waist and charged towards Lin Shao's back.

Lin Shao didn't have time to dodge, he felt a burning pain in his back, turned around and pulled out the soft sword from his waist, cutting off the iron chain of the hammer.The soft sword is no more than two feet wide, soft and thin like a cicada's wing, glowing with a cold light.It has always been used only by those with deep internal strength, and the internal strength penetrates the sword body, making it as soft or hard as you like.

Lin Shao was not fond of fighting, and guessing that the carriage had gone far away, he pretended to be seven points with three points, dragged the bandits back, threw a bullet, and disappeared into the bushes.

Because Mrs. Ye was frightened during the day, she rested early under the care of the little girl.

Ye Yun read the book under the lamp for a while, feeling impetuous, threw the scroll and walked back and forth in the room, listening to the movement outside the door from time to time.

Although the waiter in the shop has been arranged, if the young master surnamed Lin comes to look for someone, he will bring him to the guest room.But he was also worried that Lin Shao didn't know which family he was staying at.

After thinking about it, it was midnight, so Ye Yun had to sleep.In a daze, a black shadow walked to his bed, and before he could exclaim, his mouth was covered.Lin Shao's hoarse voice was next to his ear: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

Lin Shao let go of his hand, licked the corner of his mouth at him in the dark, and laughed at himself: "I didn't want to wake you up."

Ye Yun only felt that her hanging heart finally had a place to settle, and couldn't help but grabbed Lin Shao's clothes and asked, "Are you okay? Why did you come back so late? Are you injured?"

Lin Shao avoided the serious, and said with a smile, "It's just that the bandits are too difficult to deal with. It's okay. It's just that the outer robe is torn. You have to lend me one tomorrow."

After hearing this, Ye Yun ignored Lin Shao, jumped out of bed and lit the lamp, took it to the bed and asked, "Where is it broken, show me."

Under the candlelight, Lin Shao's back was stained red, and a hideous cut could be seen under the broken cloth strips.Lin Shao turned his head and smiled at him: "Look at you, if you insist on lighting the lamp, it scares you."

After staring at the wound for a while, Ye Yun fixed her eyes on his face: "You can find a doctor for you."

Lin Shao saw that Ye Yun's eye circles were red, and the eye sockets were full of water waves, so he put his palms up and spread them to his chin.

Ye Yun was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Shao hurriedly moved his hand away, coughed a few times, and concealed it unnaturally: "No...it's not a big deal, I have Jinchuang medicine with me, so there is no need to call a doctor."

"Then I'll get you a basin of water to wash your wound." Without waiting for Lin Shao to respond, he hurried there.

Lin Shao lay prone on the bed, covering his face with one arm, and said in a muffled voice, "Hey... hey, everyone said I can come by myself, and I can get..." Ye Yun didn't speak, Rubbing the cloth strip over his wound, the sharp pain hit again, Lin Shao gasped, and stopped talking about applying the medicine himself.

"Madam Ye wasn't frightened today, right? Those mountain bandits are so courageous, they robbed and looted!" Lin Shao, who was determined to accept Ye Yun's care calmly, began to chat with him.

Ye Yun responded vaguely and concentrated on cleaning for him.

Fingers caressed his back, it was numb, Lin Shao twisted his body uneasily, and continued: "Don't worry, you will be fine in two days after taking the medicine. Fortunately, when I went down the mountain, Master prepared a... ...."

After saying a few gossips, Lin Shao fell asleep in a daze.

When Ye Yun was about to bandage him with good medicine, he called him a few times.He also just hummed a few words, rubbed his pillows, pretending that he didn't hear and didn't want to open his eyes.

Ye Yun had no choice but to bend down and gently prop up his chest with one hand, and with the other hand, he passed the bandage around his chest to his back, and then passed it through his shoulders, and tied a knot to finish the job.

"Don't do this in the future." After completing this series of actions, Ye Yun's nose was already dripping with sweat, and he stared at the sleeping Lin Shao for a while before saying something softly.

The night wind in September blows the leaves rustling, and the projection shakes on the windows.

The bed in the inn was not big, and Lin Shao spread his arms and legs on his stomach, making Ye Yun who was lying on the inside feel that his breath was close to his ears.Close your eyes, Ye Yun's frown furrowed in your mind for a while, his slightly trembling eyelashes for a while, and his slightly parted dry lips for a while.

I tossed and turned several times, but couldn't fall asleep.It was almost time to take out the ancient sayings of Confucius and recite them silently.

Lin Shao moved his body, stretched his hand into his quilt, squeezed his shoulder, slid down his arm until he held his palm, and then said in a vague voice: "Hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow will be more Hurry up."

At first, Ye Yun's mood was like an ownerless boat bumping in the middle of the lake before the summer storm, bewildered and at a loss.Only then did he settle down, and soon fell asleep.

Indus Lane in the early morning is quiet and quiet, only occasionally there are a few shouts from early risers.

The woman who has not slept all night is sitting in front of the mirror, and the little girl combs her hair.

"Ma'am, there are two white hairs, shall I pull them out for you?" the little girl said in surprise.

"No need, just keep it, as you get older, your hair will naturally turn gray."

"Madam is still young!"

The woman smiled, motioned the little girl to stop talking, brushed her hair in front of the mirror, and told the little girl: "When Yue girl wakes up, give him half a bowl of porridge and a bun, and coax her to go to the little girl to go to bed." Play in the garden for a while. If you ask, just say that I went to Defangzhai to buy fruit for her."

The little girl Nuonuo agreed.

Tongfu Inn is Zhou Zijian's property in Xijing City. Its location is not superior. There are only fifteen guest rooms. The empty backyard is used to store goods. The inn only accepts merchants who have business dealings with Zhou Zijian.

When the woman arrived, Zhou Zijian was already waiting at the door and welcomed her up to the second floor.

The door of the private room on the second floor was open, and the white-bearded old man stood in front of the window like an ancient pine.

"Brother, the sister-in-law of the Lin family is here." Zhou Zijian said.

"Come on, girl from the Dou family is a rare visitor, please sit down." The old man took the lead and sat down at the round table.

"I've seen elder brother, the injury on elder brother's leg has healed?" The woman bowed to the old man with white beard and sat down at the round table.

"It's just an old disease, the Dou family girl has a heart."

"Sister Lin, back then..." Zhou Zijian couldn't wait to ask.

"Zijian, go downstairs and bring me my tea set." The old man interrupted Zhou Zijian's questioning.

"On the street a few days ago, I saw a girl from Dou's family leading a little girl, but I didn't recognize it for a while." The old man stroked his white beard.

"Well...it's the little girl, already nine years old." The woman replied with some hesitation.

"That's a good fortune. There is a mother who knows the cold and the hot by the child's side."

"Brother, brother Lin and Shaoer... are you okay?"

"After Lin Er left, Shao'er was raised by me in Lushan. I climbed up and down and was very lively. I taught him martial arts, but I didn't bury him." Zhuan, "It's just that there is no one to take care of me. I'm just a bad old man and a handy Zijian, and I wronged him."

The woman's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Girl from the Dou family, Zijian has been investigating the affairs of the Lin family for many years. Back then we searched the entire Lin family but couldn't find you. I never expected to meet you again." The old man glanced at the woman, fell silent for a while, and continued Said, "After all, you have remarried. I don't want Zijian to bother you about this matter. I just hope that you can tell what happened back then, so that Zijian can find the real culprit and let go of his worries. "

At that moment, the entire room was silent, and Lin Zijian brought the tea set from downstairs.

The white-bearded old man gave Zhou Zijian a wink, signaling him not to speak.He skillfully started to warm the cup and wake up the tea. The water was slowly poured into the teacup, and a cup of dark black tea soup with a slightly burnt smell was placed in front of the woman.

"Brother, is Shao'er also in Xijing?"

"Shao'er went to Nanyang County and didn't know about it." Zhou Zijian answered first.

"Shao'er always thought that his mother, like his father, was involved in that case. He didn't mention it when he got to Lushan, and he didn't let us mention it again." The old man sighed.

"I...I don't know how this happened, it shouldn't be like this." The woman's tears fell down all at once.

"Sister-in-law Lin, that person was insane back then. A dozen or so members of the Lin family were killed without blinking an eye. How can this kind of person be punished quickly?" Zijian looked at the woman and uttered these words bitterly.

"I really don't know...I don't know anything..." The woman repeated this sentence over and over again, even when asked how she escaped, she kept silent.

Seeing that the sun was shining brightly in the middle, the room was still unbreakably dull.

"Zijian, send Miss Dou's family home." The white-bearded old man put down his teacup and stood in front of the window again.

At this time, the woman no longer had the dignity she had when she came, and walked back in a daze.

"Brother, why don't you let me ask my sister-in-law of the Lin family?" Zhou Zijian asked in confusion.

The white-bearded old man was silent for a while, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said: "That man didn't even spare a servant boy who was twelve or thirteen years old, how could the girl from the Dou family escape?"

"This......"

"Go and find out who the girl from the Dou family married." The old man rubbed his forehead, "I think her surprise is real. Hey..."
