Thousands of years

Ever since I was young, I have been under the protection of my parents. I have never been wronged like this. Looking at Lei Peng who was standing there with a whip in his hand, Lin Ruoqing bit her lower lip, looked at him with hatred, and scolded him countless times to death. Abnormal, but dare not say a word.

Lin Ruoqing stayed up all night, the cold and fear and the burning pain from the wound on her body accompanied her through the most terrifying night in her life. She had never looked forward to Zhan Zhao or Bai Yutang's appearance like now.

It was just dawn, and Lin Ruoqing saw that Lei Peng hadn't woken up yet, so she thought about running away: the government didn't know when they would find her, she would be tortured to death by this pervert if she stayed here.

Standing up gently, the whip wounds all over her body were painful, and Lin Ruoqing couldn't help shedding tears. She gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound, and slowly moved towards the door.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a hoarse voice came: "Where are you going?" Lin Ruoqing shrank back in fright, and said tremblingly, "I'll relieve myself." "Then you come back soon, I want to eat." Lin Ruoqing thought in her heart Resentment said: You beat me like this and expect me to cook for you, not afraid that I will poison you to death.After all, he didn't dare to speak out, nodded and went out.

After going out, Lin Ruoqing didn't know the way, so she found a random direction and staggered forward enduring the pain. Every step she took brought a huge pain from the wound. Before she had walked far, her arm was suddenly pulled up by a person behind her. She saw Lei Peng's anxious and panicked eyes: "Don't leave, what should I do if I leave?" Lin Ruoqing sighed in her heart, it seemed that she couldn't run away today.

Lin Ruoqing gradually noticed that Lei Peng was relatively quiet during the day, and he even relied on Lin Ruoqing a little bit. In his intermittent narration, Lin Ruoqing roughly understood his experience: it turned out that Lei Peng fell in love with a brothel named Wenxiu in his early years. The woman wanted to spend all her family's wealth because of her, but the woman saw that he had nothing to squeeze, so she climbed up the high branches again. In anger, Lei Peng killed Wenxiu and began his escape career.It was also after that that his brain began to become abnormal, and he would attack every once in a while, killing the woman with the word Xiu in her name as Wenxiu.

Lin Ruoqing looked at the man in front of her, and realized that without that long scar, this man should be called handsome, but it's a pity that his life was ruined in the hands of a woman, alas, it's not worth it.Lin Ruoqing forgot how cruel this man was to her last night, and began to sympathize with him.

While cooking at noon, Lin Ruoqing hid the whip while Lei Peng was not paying attention, she didn't want to be whipped by this pervert again at night.

"The flower picker?" Chu Tianyi raised his eyebrows when he heard these four words, clapped the folding fan in his hand, and said with a sneer, "The government of the Great Song Dynasty is too useless, catching even a small flower picker It’s going to be such a big fight.”

"The search and arrest in the capital is so strict, should we postpone our search for someone?" Jiang Luoyun, who was on the side, spoke cautiously. "Why should we delay? If we don't hurry up and find someone, not to mention the chaos in the palace, even the flower pickers in Kaifeng City may come to ruin our affairs. Tell them to be careful to avoid the eyes and ears of the government and search secretly. Be sure to find someone as soon as possible." Chu Tianyi said irresolutely.

"Yes." Jiang Luoyun agreed, and raised his head to glance at Chu Tianyi. Chu Tianyi's eyes were full of expectation when he looked into the distance.Do not know why?Jiang Luoyun faintly hoped in her heart that she would never find that person, then she bowed her head and quietly retreated out.

It was late at night when Zhan Zhao dragged his exhausted body back to his room. He put Ju Que on the table, poured himself a cup of tea that was already cold, raised his head and drank it, then raised his hand suddenly The cup in his hand flew out of the door.Unexpectedly, he didn't hear the sound of the cup falling to the ground, Zhan Zhao smiled: "Since Brother Bai is here, why do you need to hide?"

"Smelly cat, you have good hearing. Fifth Master, I just arrived too." Bai Yutang walked in casually, holding Huaying in one hand and the cup in the other, put the cup on the table, and sat down at the table without any hesitation. down.Zhan Zhao saw that although Bai Yutang was as unruly as ever, the seriousness on his face made his heart sink. He also sat down and asked, "Brother Bai, is Miss Lin's whereabouts?" She didn't answer, but looked at Zhan Zhao, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhan Zhao, let me ask you, what is Lin Ruoqing's background?"

4. Escape

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and the scene of Lin Ruoqing appearing out of nowhere immediately appeared in his mind. He asked in confusion, "Brother Bai, why do you ask such a question?" Bai Yutang took out a small frame of portrait from his pocket, and handed it to Zhan Zhao. With the faint candlelight, Zhan Zhao could clearly see that the person in the painting looked exactly like Lin Ruoqing, but the person in the painting didn't look like the Central Plains people's attire and the charm in his eyebrows and eyes was not like Lin Ruoqing's.

Zhan Zhao's expression could not be seen clearly in the dancing candlelight. After a while, he raised his eyes to Bai Yutang and asked, "Where did this portrait of Brother Bai come from?" It was obtained from the hands of strange people, and those people have been looking for the person in the painting in the capital." Zhan Zhao's complexion changed: "The strangely dressed person that Brother Bai said is a person in black clothes and a scimitar on his waist. People?" This time it was Bai Yutang's turn to be surprised: "You know?" Zhan Zhao replied, "Zhan has noticed that there is such a group of people, but he didn't know that they were looking for Miss Lin." "Zhan Zhao, said After waiting for a long time, do you know the origin of Lin Ruoqing? Why would such a strange person seek her?" Bai Yutang was a little impatient.

Zhan Zhao looked into the distance, reflecting the candlelight, his beautiful eyes looked deep and blurred, and he slowly told Bai Yutang every detail of his acquaintance with Lin Ruoqing. "What?" Bai Yutang jumped up from the chair, "Isn't the origin too weird? Could it be some kind of magic?" "You can only find out if you find Miss Lin." Zhan Zhao looked away and looked at Bai Yu Tang: "Brother Zhan is in trouble." Bai Yutang smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, stinky cat, leave it to me, Fifth Lord."

Lin Ruoqing was afraid that Lei Peng would fall ill again, so she hid behind the Buddha statue as soon as it got dark to prevent herself from appearing in front of his eyes. Then Lei Peng couldn't find someone to vent his anger on, so he smashed the already dilapidated things in the temple Over and over again, when he was tired, he nestled in a corner and fell asleep.

Lin Ruoqing didn't dare to come out, every wound on her body hurt so clearly in this silent night, it stimulated her nerves, she was shivering from the cold, no matter how she curled up into a ball, it didn't work, in this cold winter months, there was no With a little heating, Lin Ruoqing, who was afraid of the cold, felt that she was about to freeze to death. After staying up late in the night, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she knew that she had a fever.

It was just dawn, and Lin Ruoqing woke up Lei Peng with force, and asked him to call for a doctor. Lei Peng said that he never went out during the day, so he shook his head and refused to go. Lin Ruoqing begged him hoarsely: "If you don't go, I will die soon. I'm dead, so no one will cook for you." Lei Peng hesitated, Lin Ruoqing's throat was so sore that she couldn't speak, and only her eyes were pleading.After a long time, when Lin Ruoqing was about to give up, Lei Peng stood up, adjusted the torn cotton robe on his body, and walked out the door.

In Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Ce walked into the study room with a stack of case files. This was a murder case that happened in Xiangzhou Mansion three years ago. The victim was a brothel woman with numerous knives in her body. The girl's friend is named Lei Peng, and she has not been arrested yet, and the girl's name is Wenxiu, who also happens to have the word Xiu in her name.The figure of Lei Peng described by the witnesses in the file is very similar to that of the flower picker. What is even more pleasing is that there is a portrait of Lei Peng in the file.Bao Zheng looked at the portrait for a long time, so he ordered to go down and make a photocopy of the portrait, and he was wanted in the city.

Lei Peng really invited a doctor. The doctor was startled when he saw Lin Ruoqing like that. He only prescribed some medicinal materials to reduce the fever and said that it was hard to say whether he could be saved, so he left in a hurry.

Lin Ruoqing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body was still cold except for the cold, her teeth were trembling from the cold, she took out some broken silver with trembling hands and asked Lei Peng to grab medicine for her, after Lei Peng left, Lin Ruoqing soon went to bed. Lost consciousness.

In front of the gate of Kaifeng mansion, Zhan Zhao, who had just returned to the mansion from outside, heard someone saying something to the yamen guard at the door, he stopped, and heard the man say in his ears: "It's the man in the portrait, but the face is full of scars. It was a long scar, so scary." Zhan Zhao stepped forward to ask clearly, and after learning that the man might be Lei Peng, Zhan Zhao snatched the horse brought over by a yamen servant without saying a word, jumped on it, Galloped all the way.

Arriving at the barren mountain in the east of the city, Zhan Zhao got off his horse and walked towards the mountain temple lightly. According to the doctor, Lei Peng still had a woman as a hostage, so he had to be careful.

The door was open, and Zhan Zhao walked in with a firm grip on the giant gate, seeing a mess, the incense burner, tables and chairs were all scattered on the ground.Zhan Zhao heard faint breathing coming from the corner, walked up to him, and saw a woman in green leaning against the wall, seemingly unconscious.After seeing her face clearly, Zhan Zhao was shocked, that person was Lin Ruoqing, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to push her, and called out: "Miss Lin." Tilted on her side, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to support her, the place where it started was scorching hot, saving lives was of the utmost importance, Zhan Zhao leaned over to pick her up, and wanted to turn around and walk out the door.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "Let her go." Zhan Zhao straightened up and looked at the person at the door. He was tall and burly, with a shocking long scar on his face. Just came back from the outside.Zhan Zhao was afraid that Lin Ruoqing would be hurt in the fight, so he put her down again, and then he looked at Lin Ruoqing with sharp eyes.
