Murder

The patrolmen couldn't stay any longer, so they bid farewell to Sima Feng and others and returned to the government office.Ah Si asked Sima Feng why he didn't go with him, Sima Feng smiled and said, "It's chaotic over there, so it's meaningless to go there. Besides, the child was taken away at the gate of the government office, and now there's a lot of chaos at the gate, what can you tell?" ?”

He still walked forward: "Since the patrolling brothers have left, it is inconvenient for us to visit the victims. Yongbo, you go to the victim's side to find out and don't disturb them. Ah Si, let's go find the kid."

Everyone agreed, and quickly dispersed and walked away.Ah Si leaned forward: "Which child are you looking for?"

"The one who said he saw the woman in red. How old are you?"

"Three-and-a-half years old, not very clever. Just now the big brother of the policeman said that people are a little dumb, maybe they are frightened, and they can't speak well." Ah Si continued, "Where can I find it?"

"It's in Pujia Village outside the city, let's go."

After riding the horse for a few steps, looking back, the children who were playing on the road just now were taken home by the adults.The atmosphere in the city was a little panic, Sima Feng and Ah Si walked all the way to the city gate, except for a few children occasionally playing in the deserted alleys, and there must be adults to accompany them, on the avenue where people come and go is a child I can't see it anymore.He and Ah Si were new faces in the city, and even the patrolling soldiers scanned them vigilantly, as if they were looking at two potential prisoners.

Because of what happened in the city, the inspection of the city gate became more stringent.When the two of them reached the city gate, they saw many carriages leaving the city blocked on the road, unable to advance or retreat, and the soldiers guarding the city were checking the carriages one by one.

Sima Feng looked at a car that was being inspected.A black cirrus cloud was painted on the car, and the person standing beside the car was Shao Jinjin, the owner of Wuyan Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master Shao." Sima Feng hurriedly got out of the car and approached, saluting respectfully.

Shao Jinjin is about forty or fifty years old, and he is in good spirits. After recognizing Sima Feng, he greeted him immediately: "Young Xia Sima, long time no see. I heard that Hero Sima has passed on the position of Patriarch to you?"

Sima Feng nodded: "Yes."

"Then I will call you Patriarch Sima from now on." Shao Jinjin laughed.

Sima Feng said a few words, "I'm ashamed and ashamed." At this time, Captain Zhao jumped out of the car and cupped his hands at Shao Jinjin: "Pavilion Master Shao, I'm sorry for wasting your time. We're done checking, and you can start your journey." gone."

Shao Jinjin nodded, and was about to greet the groom to set off, Captain Zhao added: "Mrs. Shao's complexion is very bad, I wonder if she is feeling unwell?"

"I brought her here to see a doctor in Rongqing." Shao Jinjin whispered, "It's an old problem, especially in spring. Thank you Captain Zhao for your concern."

After bidding farewell to Sima Feng, Shao Jinjin got into the carriage.The curtains at the front and back of the carriage were tightly drawn, only whispers could be heard from inside, it was Shao Jinjin who was talking to his wife.

"Who is Pavilion Master Shao's wife?" Ah Si couldn't help asking after they left.He had heard about the fame of Wuyan Pavilion, and knew that Shao Jinjin was a well-known hero in Jianghu, but he only vaguely remembered his wife as a notorious heroine.

"Ms. Shao's name is He Ling, from Zhaomei Feng." Sima Feng said in a low voice, "Back then, 160 people from Zhaomeifeng were killed by evil ways, and only He Lingling survived. She was rescued by Shao Jinjin, He was seriously injured, lost all his martial arts, and suffered from incurable diseases."

Ah Si's eyes lit up: "Zhao Meifeng? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"How do you have the opportunity to hear these secrets about the world?" Sima Feng cleared his throat, looking at the slow-moving team, "I'll tell you the details, young master."

"Master, do you remember?" Ah Si smiled and said, "You are not Master Chi."

Sima Feng: "..."

He was pissed off by Ah Si.The so-called which pot does not open which pot to lift.

Chi Yebai on the island sneezed again.Qing Yuanzi grabbed his hand: "Why do you keep spraying all the time? Have you caught a cold?...No wow."

The strength of Hua Chun Jue is running steadily in the Chi Ye Bai meridian, without any stagnation.His pulse was steady and he didn't seem to be sick.

"Someone misses you." Qing Yuanzi asserted, "That doll Sima Feng misses you."

Chi Yebai: "...Master."

Qing Yuanzi: "Oh, okay."

Qing Yuanzi was a little unhappy.He really liked Sima Feng, but Chi Yebai didn't like to mention it, and he didn't like to mention it, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.

The two masters and apprentices had enough food and drink, and sat cross-legged on the cliff to exercise their kung fu.Qing Yuanzi sat opposite him, with a candle burning between them.The sea breeze whizzed past the sea and the cliff, but the candle's flame remained unshakable and stable, it was protected by the true energy of the two of them.It's just that at this time, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is soupy, and it's weird to light candles under the scorching sun.But this candle is not for lighting, it is a tool for Qing Yuanzi to test Chi Ye Bai Hua Chun Jue's skill.

The sound of waves hitting the rocks was heard from afar.That sound was also like the waves of the sea, rolling and rolling, seemingly endless, and full of power forever.

Chi Yebai closed his eyes and practiced his skills, and opened his eyes again after walking for two small weeks, and found that the flame of the candle was more intense than before, and it was burning happily.Qing Yuanzi pressed one finger on the ground, Chi Yebai felt the ground was slightly hot, the candle dangled and couldn't stand steadily.He quickly reached out to support it, but found that the wax block under the candle had a small opening, and two tightly closed small leaves were coming out of the small opening, growing rapidly at a visible speed.

Chi Yebai: "..."

He raised his head to see Yuanzi, and Qing Yuanzi opened his eyes just in time, and was very happy to see the seedling growing out, "Isn't Master amazing?"

Chi Yebai: "Excellent."

Qing Yuanzi: "...Your doll is not fun. Admire a little more! Worship a little more! Just...just say something like Sima Feng usually talks to me."

Chi Yebai opened his mouth, but he still couldn't speak.How Sima Feng praised Qing Yuanzi, he could naturally remember at any time, but he really couldn't imitate that tone.Qing Yuanzi succeeded in showing off his skills, but he didn't get the expected praise. He was a little disappointed, so he reached out and pulled out the seedling and threw it away.

"Master, can you really not remember what happened when I was a child?" Chi Yebai cleared his throat, recalling the characteristics of Sima Feng's pronunciation when he was usually hanging on his back and arms, "It is impossible for me to ask my parents , They won’t talk about it. It’s not good to ask Sima Feng and Aunt Uncle Qing, after all, they are not a family. Master, only you can help me.”

Qing Yuanzi frowned and pursed his lips. After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief: "It's not like learning."

Chi Yebai: "...Oh, Master."

"Master can't tell." Qing Yuanzi patted the back of his hand, rarely showing the demeanor of an elder, "But Master can tell you with certainty that what happened to you when you were young were small things. It's just that you always remember too much. Too much, and I don’t know how to sort it out. It accumulates and accumulates, and finally explodes. Since you can’t remember, then don’t force yourself to think about it. It’s very hard, and if you return to the previous state, what should you do? ?”

"...You and Sima Feng said exactly the same thing." Chi Yebai pretended to be coquettish but failed, and then returned to that expressionless look, "You should be masters and apprentices."

Qing Yuanzi stared at Chi Yebai and blinked.He wasn't quite sure if his little apprentice was jealous, or whether he was jealous of himself or Sima Feng.Qing Yuanzi didn't know how to deal with these things, so he rubbed his head: "Okay, Master, I'm going to pick vegetables. I'll cook something delicious for you tonight."

Chi Yebai nodded, knowing that it was impossible for Qing Yuanzi to tell him about the past.But what Qing Yuanzi said is worthy of scrutiny: he didn't say that nothing happened before, he only said that what happened before was "little things", he didn't say that he didn't know, he only emphasized "can't say".

Qing Yuanzi hopped away, and before leaving, he suddenly turned his head to remind him: "Don't go into that dark room of yours."

Chi Yebai: "I have a way to get out."

Qing Yuanzi: "What way?"

Chi Yebai: "Anyway, there is a way."

Seeing that Qing Yuanzi was suspicious of Dou Di and ran away, Chi Yebai walked down the cliff alone and got into the shady dense forest.He really wanted to know why such a weird thing as "Night Hunting" appeared in his memory, and finally couldn't help it, sat in a shelter from the wind, and closed his eyes.

The room was built with him by the eccentric "Mr."It is stored in Chi Yebai's head, storing all the memories of Chi Yebai since his birth.

They were all put away according to time, in that endless room, on the endless shelves.

Chi Yebai stood in front of a bookshelf.Compared with other bookshelves, the volumes on this bookshelf are really pitiful.Chi Yebai casually took the next volume and opened it. Unlike other books, this book didn't contain a word, and it was full of black air.

During that time, he was blindfolded and couldn't see anything. Then he was rescued by the "Mr.", and he couldn't remember many things clearly.

There was still light in the room, and the young Sima Feng was standing not far away, the lotus lantern in his hand was warm and bright.He looked at Chi Yebai with a smile.

Chi Yebai felt more at ease.He lowered his head, closed his eyes and fell into the chaotic darkness.

There were panicked voices, and the sound of horseshoes coming one after another.

In the darkness, Chi Yebai clenched his hand tightly.His short, slender fingers grabbed a branch in front of him, and the branch had rough thorns, which hurt him a little.Because of his young age, he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him through the dense bushes.

The black air wrapped around him tightly.He suddenly felt cold and frightened.The fear, like a giant beast suddenly sprang out of the darkness, threw him to the ground.

Chi Yebai heard his immature voice shouting.The sound of arrows piercing the sky approached from a distance, and he ran crazily in the darkness.The low branches slapped on his face and body without stopping.

I dare not stop.

The giant beast was chasing after him.Chi Yebai galloped desperately, and the cold night air poured into his chest, making him gasp and ache—but suddenly stood still.

The behemoth disappeared.Black air came out endlessly, and he stood alone, blind and deaf.And before he completely lost consciousness, a childish voice shouted at him from a distance.

Chi Yebai broke free from the black air violently, his heart was beating wildly, and his back was covered in sweat.He was still standing among the densely packed bookshelves, and the booklet in his hand fell to the ground without a sound.The sound of slow footsteps came from nowhere, approaching him step by step.

——"...Master...Master Chi..."

Chi Yebai's head hurt so much that he was about to vomit.He picked up the books and stuffed them randomly on the shelf.The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the room, every step seemed to be stepping on his heartbeat.

——"Master Chi! Run!"

He suddenly pushed the bookshelf beside him, and rushed out quickly.He had never heard that child's voice, at least he had no impression: it wasn't Sima Feng, it wasn't Ah Si, it wasn't anyone he knew or anyone he knew.

The footsteps behind him suddenly became hurried.The man was running after him.

At the other end of the room is Sima Feng who is still holding a lotus lantern, Chi Yebai is full of fear: he is suddenly afraid of this room and his own memory.

"Sima... Sima!" He yelled frantically, "Sima Feng! Help me!"

The lotus lantern in the child's hand suddenly shone brightly, and the next moment, the tall Sima Feng stood in front of him, holding him firmly in his arms.

"I want to go out...take me out, hurry up!" Chi Yebai tightly grasped the sleeve of the person in front of him.The room suddenly became dark, and only Sima Feng had a warm light, resisting the pressure from all sides.

"Okay. I'll take you out." Sima Feng whispered to him, then bowed his head and kissed his lips.

The lips pressed up were soft, and Sima Feng seemed to be still smiling.He gently rubbed his ears with his fingers, and the hot feeling flowed quickly from the place he touched to his whole body.Chi Yebai heard the river flowing eastward under the bridge across the Yulan River, and saw the flowers of the crabapple tree beside the pool in the other garden falling wildly.

The dark room disappeared.He slowly opened his eyes, in front of him was the glare of sunlight and the shadow of tree trunks.A green-shelled beetle crawls slowly over a young leaf.

Chi Yebai covered his slightly hot face and let out a low sigh.
