The pain became more and more clear, and the forehead bumped into something in the bumps.

Clutching his head and opening his eyes, he saw the car curtain being blown open, and the moist and cool wind rushed in.

At this time, the sky will be bright, and the showers will first rest.

It was still too early at this time, the entire city was still asleep in the thin morning mist, and the ancient road full of weeping willows was silent.The wheels are spinning, the willows on both sides of the long street brush against the roof of the car, and occasionally the rain falls from the branches, making a slight ticking sound.

I retracted my head from the car window, a little dazed, how could I be in the car.

He turned his head to look again, even more at a loss.

What about the East?

Leaning over to lift the curtain, the driver was dressed in black, holding the reins in one hand and a knife in the other.Of course I knew who this was, and I felt a little relieved when I saw him. I asked, "Commander Mu, where is the leader?"

"Are you awake?" He didn't answer me, "There are dry food and water in the baggage in the car, you can take them to eat."

I didn't move, but I still asked, "Where's the leader?"

"Black Wood Cliff."

"Then why am I here?"

"The leader ordered me to take you out of Dingzhou first, and he will arrive later."

"why?"

Commander Mu glanced back at me, and for some reason, he froze strangely the moment his eyes fell on my face, and then explained: "During the seven days you were locked in the dungeon, the surname Xu in the Saintess' Courtyard Your maid identified you, and Zhu Han, the guard staying in Elder Mo’s courtyard, also said that he had seen you come to Elder Mo’s courtyard, but because of the distance, you had disappeared when he chased him, so he thought it was a moment of blindness. You didn't say anything. Therefore, everyone knows that you murdered the holy lady. After waking up, the holy lady became emotional and insulted the leader many times. She also asked the leader to hand you over. She wanted to kill you with her own hands. The leader refused ,and……"

He hesitated for a moment, looked at me with a strange expression, and didn't continue.

"And what?" I asked, untied the bag by the way, looked down, there were some pancakes and steamed buns, and a large water bladder made of cowhide.

"Furthermore, Miss Suyun, who served the leader in the inner courtyard, said that you often sleep and rise together with the leader. Recently, the leader has favored you even more than the seven wives in the backyard. It is precisely because of this that he refuses to kill you... So the teacher The hall masters and the ten elders in the hall also started to quarrel, one by one blocked in the Chengde Hall and refused to go back, saying that the sect master shouldn't...should not risk the world's disgrace for a lowly male favorite..."

I was silent for a moment: "What did the leader say?"

Commander Mu looked at me even more strangely, staring at me, then he turned his head a little bit unbearably, I didn't understand why he looked at me like that, so I asked again while unscrewing the water bag: " What did the priest say?"

"The leader said that you are not a male favorite."

I paused for a drink of water, lowered my eyes and smiled, feeling warm in my heart.

"The leader said, you are not a male favorite, but the wife of the leader."

"puff--"

I sprayed Commander Mu's face with water.

Commander Mu wiped his face expressionlessly, turned his head angrily, and ignored me.

I seem to be able to see the silence in the Chengde Palace when the leader said these words, and the thunderous appearance of those elders with gray hair and staid life.

Holding the water bag to calm down, I rubbed over and asked, "When will the leader catch up with us?"

"As many as five days, as little as three days."

I nodded, thinking of something else, and said: "Elders, you can put it aside for now. If the holy lady doesn't kill me, I'm sure she won't give up. So what is the leader going to do?"

Ren Yingying was brought up by him alone, so he must feel a little uncomfortable when he got to this point?

"The leader asked me to go to the mass grave and find a random corpse, paint my face, and then tell the holy lady that Yang Lianting is dead."

I smacked my tongue: "The holy lady definitely doesn't believe it."

"The leader said, whether she believes it or not, Yang Lianting is dead anyway."

I was startled, and pointed to my nose: "Yang Lianting is dead, so who am I now?"

Commander Mu glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, then looked away with pain on his face, and said with difficulty: "The leader said... said... you will take your husband's surname from now on, Dongfang Yang."

I:"……"

I opened my mouth, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, I weakly crawled into the car, thinking that I must have smashed my head just now. I should go back and sleep again. What happened? Hysteria?

Halfway up the climb, I noticed something was wrong with the clothes I was wearing.

Such delicate and complicated patterns and expensive and gorgeous materials are definitely not my clothes.

But even though it wasn't my clothes, I wore them so well, as if they were tailor-made for me.I looked at the embroidered pattern on the cuffs and neckline, and I was sure that it was done by Dongfang himself.

He raised his sleeve and sniffed it under his nose, as if he could still smell the oriental lavender rosin.

At this time, the carriage was passing through a village with smoke from cooking, with light green fields on both sides, dandelions scattered by the wind on the side of the road, and a few birds fluttering their wings and flying away from the branches, chirping.

The wheels turned unhurriedly, I touched the tight stitches of the clothes, and thought about what happened just now, but the absurdity in my heart disappeared.Dongfang Bubai has never disdained worldly views. He admitted the relationship between him and a man so naturally and frankly, without concealing or avoiding it, which moved me and was in awe.

My heart slowly calmed down.

At this time, I finally had time to identify the direction of the carriage, and Commander Mu kept driving the carriage to the south.My heart moved slightly, and I asked, "Are we going to Songshan?"

"No, go to Hengshan." Commander Mu replied, "Liu Zhengfeng, who has a good relationship with Elder Qu, invites heroes from all walks of life to gather in Hengshan to wash their hands in a golden basin and devote themselves to official careers. From now on, they will never ask about world affairs. The heads of the Five Sacred Mountains will go. Zuo Lengchan is no exception, so there is no need to go to Songshan again."

I nodded, the inexplicable death of Elder Mo and Elder Lu on Songshan Mountain has not yet been clarified, and the identity of the assassin who sneaked into Heimuya is also a mystery. Failure to catch it is always a big hidden danger. I don't want to solve Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian in the future, but die in the hands of others.

Commander Mu and I traveled for three days before we left Orangutan Beach and arrived in Dingzhou City.Commander Mu entered the city, spread out a map in both hands, and pointed to a back alleyway on the map: "Here is a three-entry house that belongs to our god religion. The leader ordered us to rest here for a few days, and wait He joins you and me and starts our journey."

"This is the best." I nodded hastily, without Dongfang by my side, I always felt that my heart was not in the right place, I was up and down, I couldn't even sleep well at night, and I started dreaming about my previous life again.

After finding the way, Commander Mu raised his whip to drive the carriage. The cold face that twitched when he saw me finally became a little more lively. He said happily: "Before departure, the leader personally used flying pigeons to meet the leader of the Qingmu Hall in Dingzhou. Send a message and ask him to help us take care of everything, and now I can finally take a good rest, sleeping in the car all day, my bones are about to break!"

I also smiled a little.

But when this smile came to the house, it froze.

As soon as Commander Mu parked the carriage at the door, a short, fat middle-aged man came out from the side door. The two of them looked at each other for a while without speaking. Commander Mu lifted up his robe slightly, revealing a corner of Heimu Ling.

Seeing Hei Muling was like seeing the leader, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down on the ground: "Jia Bu, master of Qingmu Hall, see the leader!"

Commander Mu jumped out of the car and helped him up, Jia Bu smiled and said, "Commander Mu, don't come here without any problems."

"Master Jia is also good."

The two exchanged a few words, I packed up the things in the car, and was about to lift the curtain to get out of the car, but as soon as I put my hands on the curtain, I opened it a little bit, and Jia Bu knelt down again with a "plop" Next, the voice was loud and authentic: "Jia Bu, the master of the Qingmu Hall, welcome the wife of the leader!"

My script was not ready yet, and I was shocked by his words, my foot slipped, and I almost split my fork.

Jia Bu was startled by the sound of me rolling out of the car. When he raised his head suddenly, what he saw was a tall man with his eyes almost popping out of the frame. Then he turned his head stiffly to look at Commander Mu, stammeringly said: "Master...Didn't the Master say Madam...Madam is coming?"

Commander Mu turned his head silently, looking around for the scenery.

Jia Bu's complexion changed and changed again and again. He looked at me who was smiling dryly, then at Commander Mu who was dodging his eyes, and finally led us in with straight eyes and sloppy steps.

"The teacher's wife is actually a man... a man... a man..."

I heard him muttering to himself all the way as if his soul was out of his body.

Afterwards, Jia Bu didn't even come close to him, he dragged Commander Mu to practice martial arts every day, as soon as he saw me, he felt like he had seen a ghost, he directly used lightness kung fu, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

This makes me sad.

Medicine is applied to the feet every day, and the swelling has subsided recently. Except for some pain after standing for a long time, it is no longer a serious problem.But I still can’t go too far, so I’m so bored, I move a horse and sit at the gate of the house every day, looking at the alley with longing eyes, why hasn’t Dongfang come yet?

This alley is secluded and there are few people passing by. Usually I am alone, but when I brought Maza here this morning, there was a small person squatting on the threshold.

a child.

The child's face was covered in mud and blood, and the tattered clothes on his body could no longer tell the original color, and were rotten into strips.One of his legs was covered in blood, dried and stuck to it.A pair of frighteningly large eyes were opened on his thin face. He seemed to be frozen, unable to stand up straight, so he could only kneel on the ground, grabbing something with both hands, mixed with mud, and desperately pushing it to his mouth. Rise.

I poked my head out to see, and my heart skipped a beat when I knew what he was eating.

Jia Bu raised a watchdog, which was usually tied to the stone pier by the door, and leftovers were dumped on the ground for the dog to eat.It has been raining for the past few days, so Jia Bu took the dog in and kept it in the barn together with the horses.

The child is eating the dog's leftovers.

I watched him for a while, then turned around and went to the kitchen to bring some steamed buns and put them in front of him.

The child raised his head and looked at my outstretched hand and the steamed bun with those terrifyingly big eyes.

Fragrant, soft and warm steamed buns.

He cried when he reached out to take the steamed buns. The big tears were like the lingering rain in spring, soaking the steamed buns. With bitter and astringent tears, he gulped down the charity.

I looked at him silently, turned and went back.

Inside the door, Commander Mu saw everything, a little surprised in his eyes, and said, "You are kind."

I smiled sarcastically.

I have never been a kind person, and I seldom be kind to others. I regretted the moment I gave him steamed buns. I regretted thinking of myself, thinking of a long time ago, the one who was displaced by famine and war, begging all the way, struggling to survive of myself.

In the afternoon, I moved out of Mazar again, opened the door and saw that the child was still there.

He quietly hugged his knees, sitting on the muddy ground wet by the rain, with his head half-raised, his water-like eyes looking at the iron-gray sky and the trembling branches in the wind and rain.

Seeing that I moved to Maza and sat at the door, he glanced at me sideways and continued to stare at the sky.

I ignored him, and when it was late, I put away the Maza and went back. He took out the unfinished steamed buns, lowered his head, and took small bites. When the steamed buns became cold and hard, he opened his mouth to drink the dripping water from the eaves. rainwater.

I silently closed the door.

In the middle of the night, I was anxious, put on my clothes and went to the latrine, and when I came back, my mind moved, and I went to the door.As expected, the child was still there, and he looked up obsessively at the night sky filled with silver stars after being washed by the rain.

I sat next to him and said the first sentence to him: "What are you looking at?"

"The way home."

I raised my eyebrows: "Did you see it?"

He shook his head, and said very slowly in a childish voice: "I can't see it anymore, I don't know where my home is, I've been walking for a long time, there is no home here, and I don't know where I have gone."

I think this kid is a bit interesting, he is young, but he speaks old-fashioned.

"How old?"

"ten."

I looked at him suspiciously, he looked as thin as six or seven years old.

"what's your name?"

He turned his head and looked at me with clear eyes, his voice was very soft.

"Meng Xinghun."

I nodded, and was about to ask him something, when suddenly there was the sound of hunting above my head, I immediately looked up, as if I saw something passing by, it was he who was back!My heart suddenly jumped, and I immediately stood up and ran to the bedroom with big strides.

The bedroom is on the second floor. When I stopped at the door panting, I suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the room.

The door was pushed open and the lamp was turned on, but there was no one inside, and there was a piece of clothing on the ground.

A red coat soaked in blood.

The author has something to say:

Commander Mu: My heart is almost broken. (?_?)

Jia Bu: I was opened the door to a new world. (?_?)

Aunt Eight: I won’t say anything _(:з」∠)_
