As the long night comes to an end, a trace of turbid fish belly white emerges from the eastern sky.
The group finally survived until dawn in the dilapidated Earth Temple.
On the stormy night in the past, everyone didn't sleep all night, and everyone seemed to be in a trance and haggard. The sky had cleared up a long time ago, but it was still chilly, with a thin layer of white mist covering the mountains.
During the conversation with Luo Xiangxue, Xu Feng accidentally learned the truth about the Liujiazhuang murder case. The real murderer they had been chasing for twenty years turned out to be living under the Zixia Peak of Zhongnan Mountain. This was his dream. Unexpected.
What shocked him even more was that the man named Luo Lin turned out to be Luo Xiangxue's father!
Things in this world are too bizarre, yet so cruel!
In order to prevent everyone from seeing what he was thinking, he could only pretend to be calm, but his heart was already in a state of chaos. This cruel truth weighed on his heart like a heavy stone, making him almost breathless.
And the way he looked at Luo Xiangxue now became more and more awkward. Although the father Luo Lin described by Luo Xiangxue had the same name as the real murderer who murdered Liujiazhuang, there was currently no conclusive evidence to prove that they were the same person. After all, there are too many people with the same name and surname in this world.
Before seeing Luo Lin in person, all assumptions were just guesses. At the moment, it was inconvenient to ask Luo Xiangxue more about her father's family background.
Xu Feng shared the remaining rations in the bag with everyone. Everyone drank cold water to satisfy their hunger, and their bodies felt some heat.
Liu Ruyan said to Luo Xiangxue with concern: "Xiangmei, you are already wet. It's better to change your clothes before going on the road. Be careful of catching the wind and cold!" As he said this, he looked at Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian. His clothes were all wet, so he said, "Uncle Xu and Uncle Lei, please change too!"
Luo Xiangxue looked at him and nodded silently, her eyes full of warmth and touch.
Xu Feng looked outside the house and said, "What my nephew said is that everyone should go change quickly and don't catch cold!" After saying that, he stood up, picked up the sword and baggage, and walked out of the house with Lei Zhentian. The two of them walked toward the bushes behind the house. Walk inside.
After Liu Ruyan watched the two people go out, she said to Luo Xiangxue: "Xiangmei, it's so inconvenient for you to be a girl. Just change clothes in this room. We'll wait for you outside!" After that, he picked up his long hair. The sword and the baggage turned and headed outside.
Luo Xiangxue agreed and stared at his back for a long time. After he turned the corner of the room, she untied her own baggage and took out a pair of dry clothes to change into.
She took off her coat, leaving only a small and thin underwear on her body. The underwear was already a little wet, so she took off her underwear as well, leaving only a bellyband. Looking down at her curvaceous body, white chest, and tight belly, she suddenly drowsed, her face heated up, and her eyes showed a hint of shyness. She was already a mature girl, and she was no longer a mature girl. That young and ignorant little girl.
She quickly put on dry clothes, untied her long rain-wet hair, held it in her hands and rubbed it, then tied a red headband, stuffed the wet coat into the bag, picked up the long sword and baggage, stood up and walked out of the house. .
The three people outside had also changed their clothes and were waiting there. The three of them immediately walked towards the big tree where the horses were tied not far away.
The strong horses were pacing under the trees and shaking their bodies. The hair on their bodies was already soaked and steam was rising from their mouths.
Everyone came to the horse, stretched out their hands to comb the horse's mane, and took out towels to wipe the horse's back. The strong horse hissed softly, as if he was greeting its owner.
A heavy rain last night made the mountains muddy, and thick fog blocked the mountain roads. Visibility was extremely low, and we could only see a few meters ahead. Under such circumstances, traveling was extremely inconvenient.
Liu Ruyan suddenly said to Luo Xiangxue: "Sister Xiang, it rained last night, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Brother Liu. Don't worry!" She grinned softly at Liu Ruyan.
"That's good. I was worried that you would catch a cold. Fortunately, the rain stopped. Otherwise, we would not have been able to travel this morning. Hey, you have suffered so much with me along the way. I really can't bear it!" Liu Ruyan was silent for a long time. , looked at her meaningfully.
Luo Xiangxue rolled her eyes at him, couldn't help covering her mouth and laughed, and said angrily: "Brother Liu, you're here again, don't say that again in the future, I want to follow you around the world, I am willing to do so, I don't think so at all. It's bitter, we have walked so many places and seen such beautiful scenery, I feel so happy!" Her eyes were shining and she looked to the sky, as if she was longing for something.
Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian packed their bags and saw the two young people talking to each other. They felt happy in their hearts and had happy smiles on their faces. At the same time, Xu Feng was secretly worried. If Luo Xiangxue's father was really the real murderer of Liu Ruyan's family, then their relationship would be over!
When the truth is revealed, how should they face it and where should they go?
Although he was filled with worries, he did not dare to show it on his face, so he had to pretend to be nonchalant.
Xu Feng looked at the official road in the distance. The thick fog had become lighter than before, but the sky was still gloomy and the air was full of biting chill.
Lei Zhentian said: "It seems that after walking out of this wilderness, there should be a market ahead. We can't delay, everyone should get on the road quickly!"
Everyone got on their horses and rode slowly toward the official road ahead. Because the road was muddy, the horse's hooves did not move very fast, and there would be a splash of muddy water with every step.
The group of people walked leisurely for a while, the morning mist caressing their faces with coldness and moisture. Lei Zhentian coughed slightly from time to time. Xu Feng was worried that he was very tired from the long journey, lest his old illness would relapse, and asked with concern: "Lei Zhentian How do you feel, brother? Are you okay?"
Lei Zhentian smiled slightly and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I'm fine. Maybe I got caught in the rain last night and caught the wind and cold. It's okay!"
Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue were also worried about his health. In the fierce battle with the enemy at Flying Eagle Castle, although he killed the enemy with his own hands and was considered the winner on the surface, he also suffered serious internal injuries and his internal strength was also exhausted. He suffered a lot, and it was obvious that his body had not fully recovered.
Liu Ruyan looked worried. In fact, when Xu Feng asked Luo Xiangxue about her family background last night, he suddenly showed a strange expression when he heard her father's name. He also noticed something fishy at the time, but he just couldn't figure it out. Why did Xu Feng show such a surprised look?
He secretly felt that there might be something behind this matter, but it was just in front of everyone and it was inconvenient to ask.
Even if Xu Feng knew the man named Luo Lin, he wouldn't be so surprised. Is there any deeper secret between them? Friend or foe? Or is there some ulterior relationship?
These questions piled up in his heart like an unsolvable knot. He decided to find an opportunity to ask Xu Feng for advice in person.
Everyone marched along the official road for an hour and finally walked out of the wilderness. Suddenly I saw a tall stone tablet erected on the roadside in front, with several large red characters engraved on it: "Yangpingguan".
Everyone took a closer look, then looked around at the scenery, and saw a village appearing in front of them. The village was not big, but from a distance, there were about ten families with green tiles and gray eaves, and each family had erected on the roof. A barrel chimney.
Everyone glanced at each other and knew that they were already at Yangping Pass in front of them.
