More than thirty miles away from the city, there is a peach forest. Jingxuan said to Xiang Yan, "This peach grove was planted by Deputy Gang Leader Yang. By bypassing this peach grove, you can reach Deputy Gang Leader Yang's village."
The three of them turned a corner along the peach forest and saw a donkey pulling a flatbed cart in front of them. A woman was lying on the cart, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was lying on the woman crying. The three of them walked to the car, and Jingxuan said, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Bei Jinyi put her finger under the woman's nose to feel her breath, and shook her head at the two of them. Jingxuan said again: "Little sister, what is your name? Where is your home? Who else is there at home?"
The girl raised her head and said, "My name is Shi Hongshi. I live in the mountains with my father and mother. One day, Grandpa Cheng went to see my parents, and they asked me to go outside to play. Later I heard a loud noise in the house. There was a movement, and when I went back to the house, I found that my father was dead and my mother was seriously injured. My mother and I took my father's bamboo sticks and walked in the car for several days. When we got here, my mother... and... again... ..." Shi Hongshi choked up and couldn't speak any more.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Shi Hongshi talked for a long time without saying any useful information. Jingxuan asked: "Where did your mother originally plan to take you?" Shi Hongshi said: "Mom originally planned to take me to find Sister Yang." Jingxuan asked again: "What is Sister Yang's name? Where does she live?" Shi Hongshi shook his head. Said: "I don't know, I haven't seen Sister Yang before."
Shi Hongshi's appearance was extremely ugly, with his nostrils pointed upward and his mouth wide, revealing two big front teeth. His face looked like a vicious person. Next to Shi Hongshi was a green, smooth green bamboo stick.
Xiang Yan's heart moved and he asked Shi Hongshi: "Little sister, what is the name of Grandpa Cheng who is looking for your parents?" Shi Hongshi said again: "I don't know, I haven't seen him before." Jing Xuan said: "This is not far away from Deputy Yang. The gang leader’s village is not far away, they should be here to see deputy gang leader Yang, let’s take her to see deputy gang leader Yang!”
The three of them took Shi Hongshi through the peach forest and came to the courtyard of a large village with red doors and white walls. This village was very quiet. Jingxuan went up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door slowly opened and two girls in black walked out side by side. The girl on the left bowed and said: "Everyone has come to the village, what are you doing?" Jingxuan said: "Jingxuan, a disciple of Emei, together with his junior sister Bei Jinyi and his junior brother Xiangyan, asked to see Deputy Gang Leader Yang about something." The girl said: "Everyone. It's hard work coming from afar, so please come to the village to serve tea." He said, leading the way.
Two girls led everyone into the living room and served tea. Jingxuan asked: "I wonder where Deputy Gang Leader Yang is?" The girl who answered before said: "It's a bad luck for you guys, the lady is entertaining guests." Xiang Yan's head twitched and asked the girl: "Excuse me, Miss, where is Deputy Gang Leader Yang?" Who are you entertaining?" The girl smiled and said, "The young lady is discussing important matters with the elder in the study."
Bei Jinyi said: "Chang Lao? When did your gang have an elder named Cheng? Is he newly promoted?" The girl smiled and said: "Chang Lao is the supreme elder of the Beggar Clan. He is the grandfather of the young lady. He has retired. It’s been many years, and I don’t know why I came to see you this time.”
Xiang Yan was greatly disturbed: "Senior Sister Jingxuan said that the leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi, became obsessed with practicing kung fu. He took his wife and daughter to the mountains to look for good medicine to cure his illness, and handed over the affairs to deputy gang leader Yang. This Shi Hongshi happens to be named Shi, and it seems that The way she and her mother are heading, they should have come to join Deputy Gang Leader Yang, is she the daughter of Gang Leader Shi?"
"Shi Hongshi said that Grandpa Cheng went to find her parents, and then her father died and her mother was seriously injured. Could it be that Grandpa Cheng killed and injured her parents? Today another elder came to see Deputy Gang Leader Yang, suspected of beating him. Grandpa Cheng, who fatally wounded Shi Hongshi’s parents, and Mr. Chang, who came to see Deputy Gang Leader Yang, are both surnamed Cheng, and they are both old men. Are they the same person?"
"Could it be that Deputy Gang Leader Yang no longer wanted to be the Deputy Gang Leader, so he asked Elder Chang to assassinate Gang Leader Shi? But before Shi Hongshi's mother died, she brought her daughter to join Deputy Gang Leader Yang. Mrs. Shi seemed to trust Deputy Gang Leader Yang. If so. Deputy Gang Leader Yang asked the elder to kill Gang Leader Shi. Will Mrs. Shi bring her daughter to join Deputy Gang Leader Yang? The young lady said that the elder has been living in seclusion for many years. Could it be that the elder is unwilling to be lonely, so he plotted against Gang Leader Shi and then came to plot against him again? Deputy Gang Leader Yang, trying to control the Beggar Gang?"
The more Xiang Yan thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "If Grandpa Cheng, who is suspected of killing Shi Hongshi's parents, and Chang Chang, who is now looking for Deputy Gang Leader Yang, are the same person, then we will be in big trouble today - if Deputy Gang Leader Yang wants to be the official gang leader , we just threw ourselves into the trap; if the elder is unwilling to be lonely and wants to control the Beggar Clan, then he killed the leader and deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, how should he explain it to the Beggar Clan disciples? Will he frame us and say that we killed him? Deputy gang leader Yang?"
Xiang Yan took a breath and calmed down. The top priority was to find out whether Grandpa Cheng, who was suspected of killing Shi Hongshi's parents, and Elder Chang who came to see Deputy Gang Leader Yang were the same person.
