Suifang

Shocked after a meal

Shen Zhuang blinked her eyes, looked at Liushuang and Xiao Mubai, ignored the frowning face poking at the bank of the rice, then fell on Mochou, and said:

"Are you the girl who robbed Brother Xiao?"

Fu Tanzhou summoned his disciples and ordered: "Cook a few dishes and send them to Fu Tan's room."

each have their own thoughts

Xia Suijin quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice and said:

"I'm stuffed"

Then, he dragged Yu Fang and fled.I met Yan Xi on the road, Yan Xi laughed so hard that he fell down and said:

"Fu Tanzhou came to me this morning and asked me how to get along with my long-lost son. Haha, I don't know! Although I have several sons, they are not close to me, so I just talk nonsense. I didn't expect him It really did hahaha."

Xia Suijin: "..."

The martial arts conference is approaching, Fu Tanzhou is getting more and more busy, and has no time to care about Fu Tan.Xia Suijin took advantage of the loophole and sneaked into the quiet room with Yu Fang. Seeing three bowl-thick iron chains locking Futan, he couldn't help sighing secretly: What kind of father-son love is this!

Futan was sitting on a thick blanket, playing with a lifelike puppet.

The puppet was carved very realistically, its hands and feet could be twisted, its facial features were exquisitely outlined, and it seemed to be grinning.There are characters engraved on its back, and Xia Suijin recognized the word "Tan".

Fu Tan looked up at the two of them, and greeted them very familiarly:

"Lord Ren, and Ah Fang, who came so sneakily, wouldn't they want to kill someone to silence them?"

"No, no, you can't die, I still expect you to tell me something useful." Xia Suijin squatted in front of him with a smile, and said calmly and clearly:

"Fu Lian, where is Qiu Fei?"

Fu Tan was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that he doesn't have this name in Youbandao Island. I mean 'Chai Longjin', where is Chai Longjin?"

"Hee hee, I'm also embarrassed, I don't know this person."

Yu Fang said: "He lied, he knew it."

Fu Tan: "...can you shut up? It's fine if you turn your elbows out, and you're still betraying me."

When it comes to the word "betrayal", it sounds a bit wronged.

Yu Fang's face was cold, but Xia Suijin's eyes flickered.

Xia Suijin smiled, and said: "Come on, tell me the truth. What is the purpose of you pretending to be Futan and sneaking into Qianfu Villa? Qiu... Chai Longjin hides so deeply that I can't catch him, but you, the fish caught in the net , if you don’t want to suffer from flesh and blood, just obediently confess.”

"If you can't catch Chai Longjin, you will take it out on me? Lord Ren, I thought highly of you earlier."

"No, no, I'm actually very dull. If you don't say anything, I can only lead a hundred thousand sailors to sink the bandit island, and you will have nothing to say when the time comes."

"Don't scare me, you haven't even figured out the details of Bandit Island, how dare you act rashly, Lord Ren?"

"you……"

"That's right, I came from a bandit island, but what's the matter? I didn't steal or rob, and more importantly, I still know the plan of Futan and the others. How dare you do anything to me? ——Prince Xixi Ren is a smart man." Humans would not do such a stupid thing as murder and silence. Since my life is safe, why should I be afraid of you?"

Xia Suijin took out a silver needle as thin as a cow's hair from his sleeve, and said, "I'll give you one night to think about it. I'll come to you tomorrow morning."

Then slowly stabbed the silver needle into the back of Futan's neck

The silver needle melted into the flesh without knowing it, but Fu Tan frowned, there was a black color between the brows, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Enjoy it."

He smiled treacherously, and made a gesture to leave, but the next moment, Futan said eagerly:

"Punishing God Valley."

The legs that had just stepped on the window sill stopped, he turned his head and grinned, and said relaxedly: "Is that right? Keep talking."

"Fu Sui has researched the magic circle to bring the dead back to life, and wants to revive Shen Zi. The life gate that activates the magic circle is the Son of God."

"... Who is Fu Sui?"

"He is a doctor on Fuzhou Mountain, and he admires Shen Zi very much."

"Then you came to Qianfu Villa to rob Shen Zhuang?"

"you can say it this way"

"Where is the real Futan?"

Futan suddenly evoked a meaningful smile, looked down at the puppet in his hand, slowly stroked the puppet's smiling face with his fingers, and said: "There is no truth, only me, the fake."

Xia Suijin was stunned, could it be that...?

"Futan died 16 years ago."

At this moment, Xia Suijin felt his mind was blank and his ears were buzzing.He leaned on Yu Fang's shoulder unconsciously, and asked again:

"Then... who do you take orders from? Fu Sui or Chai Longjin?"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the question was stupid.Fu Lian has said so much, if he leaks out, only Fu Sui will be damaged.As for why Chai Longjin made this move and what purpose he wanted to achieve, we don't know.

The truth he guessed before was too narrow, and now, they have all become pawns in the chess game, and Fusui is probably one of them.This game of chess is too big, it not only holds martial arts, but also plans the whole world.

Xia Suijin staggered out of the quiet room.The sun was so scorching that he couldn't open his eyes. At this time, a female disciple passed by with a food box. He thought that Fu Tanzhou was so busy day and night, but he insisted on taking time off to cook in the kitchen and put the food in the well-prepared food box. In the food box, I ordered my disciples to deliver it, and it was the same for three meals a day.

Sometimes he himself finds it strange that Fu Tanzhou is such a shrewd person, why has he never doubted Fu Tan's identity?It wasn't until Yan Xi reminded him that he realized that Fu Tanzhou was just deceiving himself and others.

Yanxi recalled an old incident:

"It was Ching Ming Festival. Fu Tanzhou was drunk and fell down on the shallows of the lotus pond. He told me that he was a warrior on Fuzhou Mountain, and his duty was to protect the patriarch. The word 'guard' is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. Climb to the sky, just like that day when he guarded the patriarch's daughter. At the same time, his wives Shen Zi and Fu Tan were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and none of them survived. Fu Tanzhou has been guilty for 16 years, and he still can't let go. It’s fake, but I still can’t help but take it seriously, in fact, it’s just to make my heart feel better.”

Xia Suijin felt even more uncomfortable when he heard it, and when he thought of the puppets in Fulian's hands, as well as the quiet room wooden horse, revolving lantern, kites and other ten kinds of objects with the word "Tan" written on them, his heart became even more chilling.

God has always been like this, never treating good people kindly.

……

At very late at night, Fu Tanzhou hurried back to the quiet room after only drinking a bowl of rough tea. He saw Futan curled up on the blanket and closed his eyes. He thought he was asleep. He said:

"Master Fu"

Fu Tan Zhou paused in the gesture of spreading the quilt

"How long are you going to tie me up like a dog?"

Fu Tanzhou said: "You are a warrior of the Fuzhou clan, and your duty is to protect the clan."

"Why, you also want me to go on the road of no return?"

"You should protect Shen makeup"

"I don't! When I have a wife and children, I will tell them: You are my darling and my life. If anyone dares to hurt a finger of yours, I will chop off his whole family and feed them to the dogs."

"—Stubbornly obsessed!"

Fu Tanzhou threw down the quilt angrily, and suddenly rushed forward.

Fu Lian hurriedly backed away and said, "You, what do you want to do—"

Immediately after

"--Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

In the dead of night, a heart-piercing howl suddenly sounded in the quiet room.

Recently, Mo Chou often went to Shenshui Pavilion to play while leaning on crutches.

At first, Shen Zhuang didn't like this woman who snatched Brother Xiao away, so she always lost her temper at her and yelled at her:

"—You return Big Brother Xiao to Sister Liushuang!!"

After yelling many times in a row, Mo Chou never got angry. Instead, she said to her kindly: "Xiao Mubai is human and has his own likes and dislikes. He likes me. Are you going to force him to leave me? Jiang Pan likes me very much. You, but if Jiang Pan's big brother hates you so much and asks you to return Jiang Pan to the Jiang family, will you be happy?"

"But! But, Sister Liushuang also likes Brother Xiao very much..."

"Twisted melons are not sweet. Xiao Mubai doesn't like Liushuang, and he won't be happy with Liushuang. You only care about your sister Liushuang, but you don't care whether Xiao Mubai is happy or not. This is partiality! "

The always unreasonable Shen Zhuang was persuaded.But she was extremely unwilling and said, "If you don't like it now, you will like it later."

"Then let's talk about it later when you like it. It's too early to mention these now."

Mo Chou was using crutches, and the backs of her hands were covered with bruises.Shen Zhuang pouted secretly, cut the palm of his hand with the hairpin, and dripped blood on the wound.

Mo Chou said, "Thank you."

Xia Suijin sat on a chair and ate melon seeds. Seeing that the two of them were sisters, she sighed, "I don't understand."

Liu Shuang, who was busy all day and didn't come often, became an outsider instead

After a few more days, the Shenshui Pavilion became even more lively.The eldest brother Jiang Liu and the second brother Jiang An of Jiangpan came to visit with a lot of local specialties, as well as candied fruit pickled by Mrs. Jiang herself;

"Your sister's life is worth hers, and the grievances and grievances will be wiped out! Besides, she can't remember anything, and killing her will not relieve her hatred. Why don't you do it after she recovers her memory?"

Once on Duantian Cliff, he saved Xue Chengbi's life, so Xue Chengbi had to agree.

However, why Xue Chengbi and Yu Mingchen are inseparable?

Xia Suijin thought anxiously, they won't be in love, right?

It was the tenth day of July, and the bustling Shenshui Pavilion was a mess of playing cards, throwing pots, flying kites, and guessing crossword puzzles. Xia Suijin had just walked over the stone bridge with a few dice when he saw Shen Zhuang and Mo Chou. Guessing punches, Liu Shuang stood aside and watched silently.

He couldn't help but said, "Ah Shui, why are you ignoring Liushuang?"

Poor standing there alone

Shen Zhuang pouted: "No, Sister Liushuang is looking for you."

"Find me?"

He was dragged to a remote place by Liu Shuang in a daze, seeing Liu Shuang's serious and cautious face, he was even more surprised: "So mysterious, what happened?"

Liu Shuang said: "The medicine you asked me to check has already been found."

Only then did he remember asking Liushuang a while ago if there was any medicine for softening bones. So, is there such a medicine?

"It is recorded in the classics that there is a kind of heart-eating grass growing on the cliff. If people eat it, it will corrode human bones and fester all over the body. It is very similar to Miss Mochou's illness."

"It should be more than that. What else is the use of the Heart-eating Grass?"

"Soften the bones and suppress the internal energy. The poison of the Heart-eating Grass lasts for 49 days. After 49 days, the poison will self-resolve, and the internal energy must not be used during the poisoning period, otherwise... the poisonous fire enters the heart, and there is no cure. The toxicity of this herb is very strange. Even a genius doctor can’t diagnose it.”

"... No wonder you can hide from the sky"

Xia Suijin turned her head, and at the swaying and rustling bamboo forest, Shen Zhuang lost in the boxing game, and was letting Mo Chou draw a little turtle on her face.

"On the 49th... When did Xiao Mubai save her?"

"I remember Brother Xiao mentioned that it seems to be the end of May."

"At the end of May, today is the tenth day of the seventh lunar month. If I guess correctly, the day of the martial arts conference happens to be the ninth day of No.40. Sigh, who do you think Mo Chou's real identity will be? I can't wait ..."

……

Shen Zhuang was tired from playing, so she lay in Mo Chou's arms and said, "You are so skinny, your bones hurt so much. Sister Liu Shuang's arms are much softer than yours."

Mo Chou is still veiled

"Will you leave Qianfu Villa when your injury heals?"

Mo Chou said: "I will leave the day before the martial arts conference."

"Then what if I miss you?"

Mo Chou smiled softly, the laughter was as soft as the spring breeze blowing on her face, she looked at her dotingly, and said: "If I leave, I will definitely take you with me."

Shen Zhuang's eyes widened in surprise

"Ah Shui, I want to save someone. That person is very important to me. I don't think there will be anyone more important than her in this world."

She asked ignorantly, "Is it more important than Brother Xiao?"

"perhaps……"

Mochou paused, then said:

"Xiao Mubai is very good. I have never met anyone better than him. It's a pity that he appeared too late."
