"Didn't you hear any sound?" Chen Ke's heart suddenly sank.
The gray-haired mouse is not an ordinary person. His small shabby house is only a few steps away from Chen Ke's temple. If he hears the cry for help, he will definitely find out the situation.
The gray-haired mouse shook his head and said, "No, but there is a bit of a stranger smell around."
If there is no call for help, then it is an acquaintance.
Chen Ke was a little worried. Sister Qin didn't have many acquaintances in the capital.
Except Chen Ying who is greedy for wealth!
The gray-haired mouse suggested: "Ask the banshee. Her territory is all around this place. She may have seen where Sister Qin went."
Chen Ke felt that this was the only way to go. He turned around and was about to go. The gray-haired mouse wanted to go with Chen Ke. Chen Ke asked him to recover from his injuries and went back to see the banshee alone.
After walking for six or seven miles, Chen Ke returned to the place where he often saw the banshee.
"Sister Fairy, are you still there?" Chen Ke shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the night.
"Little brother, you miss me, so prepare to come and accompany me." The banshee's voice sounded behind Chen Ke, and Chen Ke turned around in shock.
Chen Ke didn't hear the footsteps of the banshee. The demon was really scary. She walked without making any sound, and she didn't know when she was behind her!
"I want to ask you something. Did you see a woman and a child passing by nearby?" Chen Ke asked.
The banshee's eyes were full of charm, and she said with a thin nasal voice: "But today I met a few, heading towards your home. When they came back, they did bring a woman and a child with them. Little brother …Do you want to take a rest with me?”
The Chen Ke family that the banshee mentioned was the ruined temple where Chen Ke lived. After losing the memory of Old Man Li, the banshee only thought that Chen Ke's home was in front.
"We'll talk about it after the break. Do you remember what they looked like and what they were wearing?" Chen Ke felt even more nervous.
The banshee said: "Remember, they are dressed in black and look ugly. They are not as handsome as you, little brother. They went to the mountains to the north."
When Chen Ke heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Chen Ying and others sent Sister Qin away, and they were also going south. Why should they go north to the mountains.
There is indeed a small barren mountain to the north.
What can you do?
Even if you have never been there, you can still guess that it is a place where people are killed.
Chen Ke felt a little uneasy and did not dare to think about the consequences that Sister Qin and the others would face.
Chen Ke thanked him and went to the mountains to the north.
The banshee watched Chen Ke run away and slowly walked into the forest without chasing him.
The hill to the north was not far away, only more than twenty miles away. Chen Ke ran quickly and came to the barren mountain.
There was a trail on the mountain with mixed vegetation. Chen Ke walked along the trail, no more than a hundred feet away, when he found a small earth bag.
New soil.
Chen Ke's pupils shrank suddenly and he immediately dug into the soil with his hands.
The clothes were exposed, and Chen Ke felt a pain in his heart. They were Sister Qin's clothes.
He dug out Sister-in-law Qin from the soil. Sister-in-law Qin was stabbed in the abdomen, and blood flowed all over her body, mixing with the soil.
"Sister-in-law Qin, sister-in-law Qin!"
Chen Ke yelled and pinched Sister Qin's people.
Sister-in-law Qin opened her eyes faintly. When Chen Ke saw this, he was about to hold Sister-in-law Qin to see the doctor.
"Next...next." Sister-in-law Qin said weakly.
When Chen Ke heard this, he was shocked again. He immediately pulled out Mrs. Qin and went to dig the soil again. There was a child underneath.
"Xiaobao!"
Chen Ke was filled with grief. He touched Xiaobao's nose with trembling fingers, but found that there was no longer any breathing.
he died.
Chen Ke took out the candied haws wrapped in oil paper from his arms with trembling fingers. His voice was a little hoarse: "Xiaobao, brother Chen Ke bought you candied haws. Don't sleep... Please, don't sleep!"
"The candied haws on ice is so sweet... If you don't wake up, I will eat them all!"
Chen Ke's eyes were red, he hugged Xiaobao and put his head on Xiaobao's cold chest.
"Ho!"
A hand suddenly grabbed Chen Ke's arm. It was Sister Qin's face that was as pale as paper and covered with mud.
"It's...Chen! Ying!" Sister-in-law Qin held Chen Ke's hand and refused to let go: "For Xiao...Xiaobao, report to the official!"
Sister-in-law Qin's head drooped and her eyes did not close.
"Sister-in-law Qin! Sister-in-law Qin..." Chen Ke pushed Sister-in-law Qin and then Xiaobao: "Wake up, I haven't built a house for you yet, and I haven't repaid your life-saving kindness yet!"
"howl!"
In the barren mountains, where there were many wolves at night, I heard the sound of a living person and came over.
"go away!"
Chen Ke's eyes were red and he glared at the wolves standing not far away.
The wolves seemed to sense that this person was not easy to mess with, so they stayed far away and did not dare to come forward. However, they did not leave, looking for opportunities.
"Sister-in-law Qin, I will help you take revenge!"
With red eyes, Chen Ke broke off an arm-thick tree from the side and used it as a shovel to dig deep into the original pit. He buried Xiaobao and Sister Qin in it.
Fill in the soil one by one.
Chen Ke stepped on the soil with his feet and inserted the broken wood. "Sister-in-law Qin, if it weren't for you, I would have been eaten by a fish. Don't worry, I won't let you die in vain. Chen Ying will pay the price! No matter if he is an immortal master or not, Does it have anything to do with Ansheng Palace?"
Before, Bai Huwei also said that the consort Chen Ying had a close relationship with An Shenggong, but Chen Ke no longer cared.
He even wanted to twist off Chen Ying's head with his own hands to pay homage to Sister Qin and Xiaobao.
It's obviously a couple, why should it be so cruel and inhumane!
"It's not like they're already separated. Their mother and son will no longer have any influence on you. Why are they still like this!"
Chen Ke turned around and went back. Several wolves followed him from a distance. Chen Ke walked to a big stone, raised the stone with one hand, and threw it at the wolf.
"Ouch!"
Two of the wolves were hit and fell to the ground howling. When the other wolves saw this, they were so frightened that they immediately dropped the wolves on the ground and fled into the barren mountains.
Chen Ke walked out of Xiaohuangshan with a cold face. It was getting late. Chen Ke ran towards the city gate, which was already closed.
Chen Ke was sitting at the gate of the city, crossing his legs and practicing. He wanted to wait until the gate opened tomorrow and then go to Chen Ying's house to take a look.
After practicing, Chen Ke looked around at the sleeping beggars guarding the city gate, and he suddenly thought of a good idea.
Chen Ke took out the broken silver from his arms and shook a beggar awake.
"Little brother, why are you pushing me if you don't sleep at night?"
The beggar said dissatisfied.
Chen Ke said: "I have some money here, and I want to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I can give you the money here."
"Oh." The beggar was no longer sleepy and said immediately: "Sir, please tell me. If I know, I will tell you."
If you can't tell it, you have to make it up.
Chen Ke said: "Have you been begging at this door these days?"
The beggar said: "Yes, many brothers are here."
Chen Ke perked up and asked again: "Then you see a few people in black clothes going out of the city. They should come back in the afternoon or evening! They don't look good, and they should look more fierce."
The beggar scratched his head and said, "There seem to be a few people who leave the city in the morning and come back before the sun sets. They do look a bit fierce, and we don't dare to ask for money from them."
"Then do you remember what's easy to identify about them?" The beggar shook his head and tried to think: "They are fierce."
"This young man, I remember, I said you could give me some money?"
A beggar next to him came over with a smile. He had just overheard the conversation between Chen Ke and the first beggar, and he wanted some money.
Chen Ke said: "Yes, but you have to tell the truth."
The beggar said: "To tell you the truth, before the house was ruined, I was also the accountant. Although I don't have a photographic memory, it is not difficult to remember a few vicious-looking people."
Chen Ke put some broken silver into the beggar's hand: "Speak."
The beggar told the characteristics of several men in black. One of them had a mole at the left corner of his eye, and another man in black had a three-finger-long scar on his forehead near the center of his eyebrow.
"Thank you!" Chen Ke divided the money in half, gave half to the beggar who just asked the question, and half to the beggar.
"Don't worry, young master, if I see them again in the next few days, I will let you know," the beggar later smiled and took the money.
Another beggar also said: "Me too."
Chen Ke looked at the beggar who called himself Mr. Accountant and asked, "What do you tell me?"
The beggar smiled and said, "I see you every day, little brother, when you go out of town at night and come into town in the morning. I have already remembered you."
"Okay, if you can know about them, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to find me." Chen Ke took out some silver from his arms and said, "Go buy some good clothes so you can enter the city! By the way, my name is Chen Ke !”
"Remember it, sir, don't worry, I won't forget it." The beggar in charge said with a smile.
The beggar next to him said quietly: "It's good to have read a book. You can also make money by being a beggar."
After practicing all night, the city gate was already open before dawn. Chen Ke immediately walked in, causing the soldier who opened the door to take a second look.
"I am a servant of Jingzhao Mansion. I have business to do. Don't panic." After Chen Ke explained, he quickly ran into Jingzhao Mansion.
Chen Ying is the consort and lives in the princess mansion.
Chen Ke knows where Princess Jinde's palace is.
He ran to the princess mansion. It was still dark. Chen Ke took a run from the wall of the backyard, jumped up the wall and entered the princess mansion.
At this time, no one got up in the Princess Mansion, and Chen Ke quietly walked around.
There was anger hidden in his heart, but he remained calm and looked around with cold eyes, unable to find anything unusual.
Unable to stay longer in the princess mansion, Chen Ke climbed over the wall and left.
Chen Ke did not leave, but stood at the door of the princess mansion.
When the sun came out, the gate of the princess mansion opened, and a young man wearing gray-blue clothes was seen standing at the gate. The guard immediately went over to chase him away.
"This is the princess's mansion, leave now."
Chen Ke's eyes were cold and bloodshot, and his voice was a little deep: "I want to see Chen Ying."
"Be brave, you can mention the name of the consort!" The guard raised his hand and was about to slap Chen Ke.
Chen Ke grabbed his hand and applied a little force, causing the guard to cry out in pain.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
"I want to see Chen Ying. He has to go to the Yamen today. He won't fail to come out!" Chen Ke tilted his head and looked at the guard. When he saw Chen Ke's eyes, the guard's back felt cold.
