As soon as the Immortal Swordsman and Cheng Fei came to Yuancheng to trace what happened that year, someone took the initiative to find them and asked Cheng Fei to meet alone. As a kid who has been begging for many years, what enemies can he have in the world?
He was probably the murderer back then and had people keeping an eye on him.
If he made the slightest move, someone would be sent over there.
Cheng Fei led us to a "village" in the city. Most of the buildings in Yuancheng are masonry structures, mixed with prepared mud or clay.
This village is full of thatched houses and the living conditions are extremely poor.
Cheng Fei didn't let us enter the village, but walked around the village and walked into the mountains behind the village.
There is a forest behind the mountain, and a small river flows through the forest to the village.
The pond Cheng Fei was talking about was right next to the river in the forest. He remembered it so clearly because there was a special tree next to the pond.
The trees in the entire forest are green, but this tree is red from the bark to the branches and leaves.
Easy to remember and easy to find.
The pool he mentioned is still there, and there is water in it. The water is just deep enough to cover the feet. It is true that no one can drown unless he lies face down.
But there were no insects in the pond, only a few small fish and shrimps.
He had been poisoned for several days. If someone had deliberately thrown those bugs into the pool, someone might come to clean up the scene after he left.
Cheng Fei said doubtfully: "There were obviously a lot of bugs at that time, which was very scary."
"Look, see if there's anything like this in there." I took off the small bamboo tube and poured out the sleepy stuff inside to show him.
"Yes, yes! There is such a thing!" Cheng Fei said excitedly.
"That's right, someone deliberately put bugs in the pool and let them bite you."
"It must be the murderer of Jiang Nian and Shi Ying. He didn't even spare the children. It's so vicious!" The Fairy Swordsman said angrily.
"Cheng Jiangnian and Shi Ying were both killed. The other party had a hundred chances to kill Cheng Fei, but he didn't. I think... the problem lies with Cheng Fei."
"Xiao Fei? What could be wrong with Xiao Fei? He was only six years old back then!"
"Cheng Jiangnian and Shi Ying were killed by human hands. To kill Cheng Fei, there should be no need to use anything else. Just one knife. Why bother to transport him here and then throw him into a pool full of insects? Besides, he was not killed on the spot. There were so many bugs. If I guessed correctly, they must all be poisonous bugs. But not only was he not bitten to death, he woke up and walked back to his residence by himself. Isn’t this a problem? "
"But, but he was also bitten by an insect and almost died in his sleep."
"I estimate that among the insects in that pool, this one is the gentlest. You also know about the recent serial murders. I suspect that the murderer of the murders is probably the person who killed Cheng Fei's parents back then."
"What? You mean... could it be... that the other party is using the poison developed by Shi Ying to kill people?"
"That's right." Moreover, Cheng Fei's role was a special being that made the murderer unable to kill but unwilling to keep him alive.
"Doctor An, I have something to ask of you, and I won't hesitate to lose all my money." The immortal swordsman looked solemn.
"you say."
"Please ask Dr. An to take Xiao Fei in for a while until the murderer is captured or dead."
"Yes, but I didn't take him in, you took me in. I can't take him to the Lu family, but I can live in your house." Chasing the murderer is not something that can be completed in a day or two. Since I took this job, I Gotta get serious.
If the person who harmed Cheng Fei knew that he was not dead, he would definitely contact him again.
It is easier to see the murderer by staying by his side than by squatting on the roof and bumping into a mouse.
The Fairy Swordsman sent Cheng Fei back to the courtyard, and then went to the Lu family to deliver the letter for me.
I wrote to Alliance Leader Lu and Guard Jia, telling them that I would be staying outside for a few days and asking them to take good care of Yunzhou.
Xian Swordsman and Cheng Fei rented a house. They came to Yuancheng in advance and rented this cheap private courtyard. There was room in the yard to grow vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks.
It's just that they were not in the mood to do this. They had been running out all day long to inquire about all kinds of news.
Later, Cheng Fei was poisoned, and the Fairy Swordsman took him around to seek medical treatment.
After Cheng Fei fell asleep completely, the Fairy Swordsman saw the reward order from the Wulin Alliance and started a business of selling copied records.
He was originally a single and idle traveler. He was drunk now and drunk now, and he didn't have much savings. He emptied his family fortune to treat Cheng Fei's illness.
He frankly said that if money were not tight, he would not open his mouth. There was a young man in the yamen who was an old acquaintance of his. He could open the back door and take a look at the body for fifty taels.
Now that Cheng Fei's poison has been cured, their biggest expense is gone, and the remaining money is enough for the three of us to live in Yuancheng for a few days.
He went out again and again, buying big fish and meat, and it was like celebrating the New Year every day.
After eating for three days in a row, I told him to stop. Cheng Fei's stomach was still weak and he couldn't eat these. It was just me and him. It was too wasteful to buy so much.
I haven't gotten rid of the habit of eating less for the time being, and my stomach feels uncomfortable if I eat more.
The murderer did not arrive on the fourth day, but Yun Zhou and his guards Jia and Xin arrived.
There were several nursing staff from the Lu family following behind. Although they were wearing ordinary nursing uniforms, I knew that they were masters secretly trained by the Lu family.
"Why are you here? Something happened?" I was hoeing the ground in the yard, planning to try it out first and plant some crops that would sprout in a few days.
"Madam, the young master insists on coming, but we can't stop him. If we stop him hard, he's serious about it. Look." Guard Jia pointed to his swollen left eye, which was black and purple.
"Yes, if I stop my subordinates if I stop them, they may not be able to save their lives." Guard Xin's right face was swollen so much that his mouth was crooked when he spoke.
I sighed deeply and secretly scolded this follower for trouble, but I couldn't ignore the lives of guards Jia and Xin. I knew very well how serious Yun Zhoudong was.
The small courtyard rented by Xianjianke is only big enough for two people. When I come, my father and my son have to squeeze into one bed. Now there are seven more people, and they can't squeeze in at all.
The nurse from the Lu family unpacked their luggage and said that they came with tents and asked me to rest assured that they could sleep in the yard.
They set up tents and lit bonfires, just like camping.
The Immortal Swordsman asked Yunzhou who I was. The lie had already been revealed and I could only hide it as a fabricated identity for a short period of time. I said that I was once Yunzhou's secret guard and now I am his wife.
The Fairy Swordsman was stunned for a moment. After all, no similar incident had happened in the world of martial arts or in the court.
But since Yun Zhou is my master and husband, the Immortal Swordsman’s attitude towards him must be respectful.
There are two rooms in the courtyard. He and Cheng Fei live in one room, and I live in the other room. Now that Yun Zhou is here, naturally Yun Zhou and I live in one room.
As for the guards Jia and Xin, they wisely did not cause trouble to the fairy swordsman and built a simple bamboo shed in the backyard to live in.
There were ten people living in the small courtyard, and I didn't know if the people hiding in the dark dared to come out.
Ever since I moved into this courtyard, there have been two more people on a tree in the nearby woods.
