Inside the inn, what Yi Hongyan didn't know was that Yingping was actually pretending to sleep.
After hearing the sound of his adoptive father going out, Yingping sat up and walked to his adoptive father's bed to shake Yiyi who was sleeping soundly. He said excitedly: "Yiyi! Yiyi! Get up! Brother will take you hunting." !”
Yiyi was still a little angry, so she reluctantly opened her hazy eyes and muttered, "Hunting...? Didn't daddy not let you go out?"
"I've observed it. Your father has gone out at sunrise every day for the past two days and will come back around dusk. Let's go out secretly to look for the gown so he can't find it."
Yingping said proudly, as if everything was in his hands.
Yiyi was extremely reluctant to go, but there was nothing she could do about this living treasure brother, not to mention that she was a little scared to stay alone in this unfamiliar inn.
There was no other way, so Yiyi had to change her clothes and leave the inn with Yingping.
Yingping hurriedly walked out with his sister. But just when the brother and sister were about to step out of the inn door, they heard the waiter calling them to stop——
"Hey - hey - young ladies, where are you going?"
Seeing that the waiter wanted to stop him, Yingping was very puzzled. He didn't have a good temper, so he choked: "Who do you think you are? Are you in charge?"
Seeing Yingping's unkind tone, the waiter didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "The master's father said that he asked me to help keep an eye on the master and the young lady today. They are not allowed to go anywhere."
It turned out that Yi Hongyan was extremely worried about Yingping. Before leaving, he threw some copper coins to the waiter and asked the waiter to stare at Yingping.
"Did he give you money or allow you any benefits? Let you stare at me like this?"
"This...this...hehe...if you receive money from others, you always have to help others."
The waiter felt a little embarrassed when Yingping saw through it.
Yingping was a little helpless at first, but then his eyes rolled around and he immediately smiled and said: "I see, second brother, don't worry, my sister and I will go to the village ahead to meet a friend, and we will be back soon! Later! "If my father asks about it, tell me that we went to play at Brother Ye's house."
After that, he took out a few copper coins from his sleeves and threw them to the waiter.
Although the waiter is greedy for money, he still hesitates because he cannot be loyal to others when he is entrusted by others.
Yingping understood what the waiter was thinking, so he took out some copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the waiter.
After all, the waiter saw the money and stopped to stop him.
So Yingping took his sister and walked happily towards the small village.
...
Ye Changshan was watching his father give him the "Thousand-Character Classic" at home when he suddenly heard Yingping's voice coming from outside -
"Changshan—Ye Changshan—where do you live? We are here to find you!"
Ye Changshan put down his book when he heard the sound. When he went out, it turned out that Yingping was taking Yiyi Mancun to look for him from house to house.
Seeing this, Ye Changshan waved his hand quickly. Yingping couldn't help but feel happy after seeing Ye Changshan's figure. He pulled Yiyi, who was already out of breath, to run wildly and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Changshan welcomed the brother and sister into his home.
After briefly greeting the Ye family and his wife, Yingping pestered Ye Changshan and begged to take them hunting.
Ye Changshan felt strange and asked: "Didn't your adoptive father not let you come out? Why did you come here anyway?"
"My foster father has gone out to do some errands. He won't be able to come back for a while. My good brother, you see I'm already here, so just take me there!"
Yingping's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Changshan sincerely.
Ye Changshan looked at Yingping and then at Yiyi. I saw Yiyi with a familiar look, closing her eyes and shaking her head helplessly - this is telling Ye Changshan, I have seen too many battles like this, you can't beat him, just obey!
Helpless, Ye Changshan had no choice but to pack up his hunting gear and water bag and take the brother and sister up the mountain.
…
In an inn in Yongcheng, not far from Panxian Village, a man wearing Northern Wei Dynasty costumes was staying in Room No. 1. After a while, the door of the guest room was pushed open, and a woman also dressed in Northern Wei Dynasty clothes walked in.
"Do you understand?" the man asked expressionlessly.
"It's clear, let's go to the southwest. There is only one small town in the southwest, so they must be going there!" the woman replied respectfully.
"Are you sure it's them?" The man was a little worried.
"It's probably them, a middle-aged Hu man with two boys and girls."
"Let's go!" the man said calmly.
The woman did not dispute this statement, picked up the baggage and followed the man out quickly.
…
The waiter hummed a little tune and worked happily. He was in a very good mood today. The father and son were really generous. They got two small sums of money from each visit, which was worth several days of reward! This unexpected windfall made me feel really refreshed, and I didn't feel tired at all when I started working. But just as he was happily doing this work, suddenly a breathless sense of pressure poured in from the top of his head and extended along his spine to his body, making his back numb!
The waiter looked up and saw two men and women with swords hanging on their waists staring at him sternly. Feeling the look in his eyes like a giant looking down on an ant, the waiter couldn't help but tremble.
"Two... two guests... do you... need to stay in a hotel or..." the waiter asked in a trembling voice.
The woman ignored the waiter's words and asked coldly: "Have you ever seen a middle-aged man dressed as a foreigner with two children, a boy and a girl?"
"Please, may I ask who you two are..."
With a "pop" sound, the woman put the sharp sword in her hand against the waiter's neck, which frightened the waiter so much that he almost peed his pants.
Darling, before this money is spent, my life will be lost!
The waiter was already timid, so he immediately dragged out all the news about the Yi family, his daughter and Ying Ping——
"Then, those three people lived in Room No. 3 of Tianzi... The Hu man went out at about nine o'clock... and the boys and girls accompanying him also went out afterwards..."
"Then where did they go?"
"Hello boys and girls, I seem to have gone to the village ahead and said that I was looking for a friend named Ye... Most of the people in that small village were named Wang, and there were not many people named Ye. It was easy to find... That Hu man, I really don’t know where I’m going...please don’t kill me...don’t kill me..."
The man and woman looked at each other, ignored the waiter, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After confirming that the man and woman left, Xiao Er collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all strength. He reached out and touched his crotch, which was slightly wet.
…
After some exploration, a man and a woman came to the small village where Ye Changshan was located.
Sure enough, as the waiter said, there is only one family named Ye in this village. After finding out the address of Ye Changshan's home, the man and woman looked at each other silently, then walked towards Ye Changshan's home with their swords in hand.
…
Ye Changshan was walking halfway when he touched his waist and realized that he had forgotten to bring a knife. So he could only ask the Yingping brothers and sisters to stay where they were and wait for him to get home. Yingping was impatient, so he agreed and urged Ye Changshan to go back quickly.
Ye Changshan trotted all the way back home and found that his door was half open, so he felt something was wrong. He quickly opened the door and found his father and mother lying on the ground. They struggled to get up but had no strength to get up. The saliva flowing from their mouths was mixed with traces of blood. When his father saw Ye Changshan coming, he used all his strength to wave to him feebly. A weak and weak sound came from his mouth——
"Quick - gown - go - go quickly -"
Seeing this, Ye Changshan didn't care about anything else, so he hurried over and tried to help his parents up.
But at this moment, he was suddenly slapped by a powerful palm on the back of his neck, and immediately felt the world spinning. Then Ye Changshan's limbs became weak and he fell to the ground forcefully, coughing feebly. Before Ye Changshan could react, his body was turned over heavily by a boot, and the blurry figures of two men and women appeared in sight.
"Where is the boy?"
The frosty voice of the woman wearing the sword penetrated into Ye Changshan's ears, making him feel extremely cold.
Ye Changshan instantly understood that this man and woman were here for Yingping. This boy, who was gorgeously dressed and spending a lot of money, appeared in the remote mountain village of Panxian. He must be hiding from someone! However, Ye Changshan was a kind man and could not give Yingping away.
Ye Changshan endured the severe pain and replied: "I am a hunter in this village. I am the only son in the family. I don't know anyone else..."
The woman frowned slightly. She seemed not to say too much to Ye Changshan, so she walked towards his mother with her sword in hand.
Ye Changshan suddenly realized something, and was about to speak in panic.
But the woman moved too fast! A dazzling sword light flashed by, and before he could see it clearly, the woman was about to put the sharp sword into its sheath, but there were a few drops of blood on the blade.
"mother--!"
Ye Changshan shouted desperately, but to no avail. His mother just lay weakly in front of him, no longer alive.
