Although the handkerchief is just an ordinary object, it is Yiyun's personal belongings, so it is stained with Yiyun's aura. With a small spell, you can follow the aura to find its owner.
When they first robbed Xingqing Prison, they relied on this little magic to find Yu Qin in the criss-crossing Xingqing Prison.
The handkerchief was suspended in the air and slowly flew towards Baihai City. It seemed that Yiyun had entered Baihai at this time, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as she is still alive, she is already very lucky. After all, if a weak woman has to rush from Xingqing to Baihai, it will take half a month. The hardships are self-evident.
What worries Yiyun the most is that something unexpected will happen to her on the road, and there will be nothing she can do about it. Since he was about to enter the city, it was naturally inconvenient to cast the handkerchief spell, so Huang Shan grabbed the handkerchief in his sleeve and walked by feeling the direction the handkerchief wanted to fly.
The city wall of Baihai City is getting closer. There is an old saying: "If you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains, if you rely on the water, you will eat the water." Baihai is built next to this big lake, and naturally the lives of the people are inseparable from this big lake.
Fortunately, although the color of this lake is a little weird, it is very rich in products. In addition to various kinds of fish, there is also a kind of pale white algae called snow jade, which is a specialty of the White Sea and can be used to make a precious spice. It has always been a tribute item. It is rare and well-deserved. Most local people depend on this snow jade for their survival.
But if you want to transport the snow jade out, you still have to rely on caravans. Baihai City is surrounded by lakes on three sides, and only the east side has a commercial road that can lead out. This is the one at the foot of Lichuan Mountain.
So since the Lichuan Mountain commercial road was intercepted by ghosts, local officials were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
Day by day, snow and jade accumulated in the city, but they could not be sent out, and materials from outside could not come in. The people's life became increasingly difficult.
...In Baihai City, in a silk and satin shop, bright red, navy blue, goose yellow or multi-colored fabrics hang down from a high-hanging beam. A woman who is over forty years old, but still has her charm. Standing in the shop, looking at a young girl in tattered clothes, she looked helpless.
The girl has a delicate figure and a very good face. She is probably a daughter of a noble family, but her clothes are so shabby for some reason. This young woman is Yi Yun who came all the way north from Xingqing.
At this time, she was in a foreign country, helpless, and worried about her father's illness. She was haggard and haggard, just like a begonia destroyed by the night rain, with a pitiful beauty.
She struggled for a long time and then said to the woman in front of her: "Madam, I went to see the Ma family, but they thought I was ragged and looked down on me, and they wouldn't even let me in. So I thought, could I go in? I can't borrow any clothes from you. I'll try again." The woman glanced at Yiyun with pity, and readily agreed, saying, "Good boy, I'm really embarrassing you. You came all the way here for your father. Come on, it's really hard on you." Yiyun shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, my father gave birth to me and raised me, this is what I should do." The woman nodded happily, then turned around and entered the back room of the shop, but did not take out her clothes. Instead he took a measuring tape.
Yiyun asked doubtfully: "Auntie, what are you doing?" The woman said gently: "What can you tell me about borrowing clothes? I'll make you a set while my eyes are not yet dim. There are so many fabrics in this shop, you can choose whatever you want." One piece. A beautiful child like yours deserves the best-looking fabrics." Yiyun hurriedly refused: "Forget it, aunt, since your husband was also killed by that ghost, you can only live on these fabrics. !" Speaking of her husband, the woman finally sighed, put down the measuring tape, and her eyes moistened unconsciously.
She quickly covered her eyes with her hands and was silent for a long time. Yiyun felt very sad and advised: "Auntie, it doesn't matter. Your husband and my father are suffering from the same disease, and they can be cured. I came from Xingqing to Baihai, so of course there is a cure. As long as I wait for those If your friends come over, they will be able to save your husband." The woman wiped her tears and said, "Them? What is their relationship with you? They are just ordinary friends. My child, you are kind-hearted, but you don't know that people in this world are sinister. Most of these people are unreliable. Even if they are willing to try their best to help you, they are definitely asking for something." After saying that, she looked at Yiyun. Yiyun was a little panicked, and she happened to understand a little bit of what the aunt said. Asked why, he became silent.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the silk shop, the sound was urgent and seemed to be very urgent. The woman recovered from her sadness and immediately responded: "What's the hurry? It's coming!" But before she could get close to open the door, the door of the shop was kicked open, and a man had a lump on his forehead. The man with the huge scar stood at the door. Looking at his fierce appearance, you knew that he was definitely not a good guy.
The man who came to the door today certainly did not do good deeds. He is the gangster leader in the nearby area. He has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. He has been on the streets for many years and is a well-known bully.
Besides, there was also his uncle who worked as a clerk in the government. The government always turned a blind eye to him and let him go as long as no lives were lost.
The man was standing at the door, and the aunt could tell who he was at a glance, and she immediately lost color and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that the woman was frightened, Yi Yun quickly stepped forward to help her, while looking at the visitor in panic, feeling at a loss what to do.
The man made no attempt to hide his obscene purpose and said straight to the point: "Ms. Feng, look at what you look like now. You are in your forties, have no heirs, and your husband is dead. You still have hope for this day." Sooner or later you will starve to death, why not come with me? Although you have no reputation, I don’t care if you have enough to eat and drink!" It turns out that although the woman named Feng is old, her charm is still there, and she is a bit shy. The woman's beauty has caught the man's eyes a long time ago. Now her husband is dead. If she doesn't come to the door and demand her, how long can she wait?
The woman cried loudly: "My husband is not dead, get out of here!" The man said harshly: "He is not dead? He has been unconscious for several months, what is the difference between him and a dead person? You still need to take care of him every day. It's better to die and be clean! Besides, what good is that guy? Can he give you a good life? But I can!" Yiyun looked at the man in panic and angrily shouted: "Where did you come from, you scoundrel? What nonsense are you talking about? It's really not good. Face! Don’t take a pee and take a look at yourself!” The man who was reading the book looked at Yiyun in surprise. After looking at it carefully, his eyes actually showed joy: “What a beautiful girl, with such skin and figure, I really don’t have it. I've seen a few of you, please give your uncle a smile." As he said that, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then stepped forward to grab Yiyun's arm. Naturally, Yiyun refused and resisted desperately. Then Aunt Feng would also be implicated when she saw Yiyun. , feeling even more anxious, he also rushed forward, and the three of them immediately struggled with each other.
Although there were two people on Yiyun's side, that man was a street gangster after all, and he was very strong. Yiyun and the two were no match for him, and they suffered a lot.
The man's eyes were also red at this time, and he no longer cared about who his opponent was. He made a round slap and wanted to slap it away.
That slap was so powerful and heavy that it took all the strength of the whole body to hit it, and at least the skin would be torn apart.
The man smiled evilly, slapped her down, and threatened: "This is what will happen if you disobey me!" The slap was aimed at Yiyun, making Yiyun scream, but this scream played right into the man's hands.
Yiyun was about to accept the burning pain on her face, but there seemed to be a flash of cold light in front of her eyes, and a ball of scarlet blood spurted out and fell on Yiyun's face. She also heard the dull sound of something falling to the ground.
Yiyun stared blankly at the blood splattered on her face and clothes. Then the man let out a miserable howl and ran out of the door as if he didn't even care about his life. Then a slender man ran up with a sword and killed him in the street with one strike. Kill the man.
This person was dressed in black. After killing the man, he showed no signs of panic. An Ran watched as the blood on the man gradually spread on the ground, and then the passers-by who saw this scene yelled and screamed and fled in panic.
After looking at it for a while, he slowly walked into the silk shop. When the woman surnamed Feng saw that the man in black was killing someone, she was too frightened to move. In her eyes, the man was just a bully who bullied the people on a daily basis. Although his crimes were really abominable, he had not yet caused any trouble. Although the man in black killed people as soon as he came, and he was so upright, the woman's heart, which only knew how to live a stable life in a small place, had long been raised in her throat.
When Yi Yun saw the man in black, she couldn't help shouting out with joy: "Xu Huaigu, you're finally here!" When Xu Huaigu saw Yi Yun, he had already changed his smiling face, and his gentle look was the same as when he suddenly started killing people. , it was already a huge difference, which made this woman who had never seen the world feel even more panicked.
The woman tremblingly pointed at the man who was dying outside the door, and her voice was trembling: "You...you killed someone." Xu Huaigu smiled: "The scum of the market, it is not a pity to die." The woman He was submissive and did not dare to say any more words.
Yi Yun looked at Xu Huaigu with eyes full of hope: "I knew you would definitely come!" Xu Huaigu said: "That's natural. If you promise to do something, of course you will do it." Yi Yun asked again: "What about the others?"
"They were still observing the situation from behind. I saw you were in trouble here, so I rushed over to help you." Yiyun nodded happily and said to the woman beside her: "Auntie, this is the friend I told you. We are here, they are all monks, they can definitely help us." When the woman heard the word monk, her eyes suddenly lit up, she quickly glanced at Xu Huaigu and said, "Are you a monk?" Xu Huaigu nodded slightly.
The woman looked at it for a long time, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and actually said: "Who else but a monk could kill someone like this? I should have thought of it a long time ago. Whether it is a ghost or a monk, as long as it has power beyond ordinary people, it will be killed. You take human life seriously." Xu Huaigu frowned and was surprised by the woman's words, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was some truth in it, and he couldn't help but look down on the woman.
Soon, word spread about the murder here. After hearing the news, people from the government came and quickly surrounded the silk and satin shop.
The uncle of the man who had caused trouble earlier had also arrived, but he only saw a pool of blood on the ground and a body missing an arm. He suddenly became furious and shouted: "Whoever killed him, I will never go around him." !" Xu Huaigu walked out of the shop with cold eyes and confronted the man face to face. He raised his sword with the tip of the sword facing the ground, and with one stroke of the sword, a long ravine formed on the road, and dust flew into the sky.
I only heard everyone exclaiming: "What a swordsman, that guy named Hu has kicked the iron plate!" The guy named Hu was the rogue who died.
The official clerk naturally didn't give up, but he was just surprised, and he still said righteously: "What's so great about swordsmen? Swordsmen can kill people at will, right? Then there is still king's law in this world!"
