"I, I remember." A timid voice reached the ears of Chen Yuan and Gu Ming, and a boy about nine years old emerged from the crowd.
"What?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.
"The person who took me away from my mother had a long scar on his face. There was no eye on the right side, just a black hole." The boy said, "My mother was washing clothes by the river, and I was hiding in a tree in the distance. , I called my mother to come to me, and my mother responded and suddenly screamed. I jumped down from the tree in a hurry and saw my mother lying on the ground with such a person standing next to me. He walked up to me, and I fainted and woke up again. When I arrived, I was already locked in an iron cage." He glanced at Ji Tongcheng, "Then my uncle passed by the cage and paid to rescue me."
"How do you remember it so clearly?" Chen Yuan asked.
"I've been here for seventy-six days. I'm counting the days. I want to find my mother. Uncle Ji said that he has sent someone to look for her."
"If he is a good person, why haven't he been found after more than seventy days?" Gu Ming asked.
"I don't know the name of my family's place. I just remember that my parents said we Wangzhuang, our Wangzhuang when they were chatting." The boy cried, paused and sobbed: "Uncle said that there are no less than a hundred Wangzhuang in Nanqi. There are about ten of them in one state, so you have to look for them one by one."
"Who is the person he was talking about?" Chen Yuan asked Ji Tongcheng.
"Ning Qiang Gambling House, Zhu Qiang." Ji Tongcheng replied with a trembling voice.
"I'm going!" Gu Ming said and he was already out of the courtyard wall. His movements were so fast that Chen Yuan was also a little stunned. Secretly muttering: No wonder you two are brothers.
When Dai Er came, it was already getting brighter, and the east was turning white. There were many children sleeping on the floor in the hall. With Lingyun Palace's Qinggong, even if he brought one person here, it wouldn't take that long, just because he came in two carriages, and there was also a car of young women on the carriage. There were fifteen or sixteen people in the small carriage. . I saw Dai Er jumping into the wall and shouting that it's here. He ran inside and pointed behind him excitedly. When he turned around, he found that there was nothing. He woke up the sleeping children for nothing. He seemed to remember something and cursed. : "It belongs to his grandfather! Find someone to open the gate!" After saying that, he flew out of the courtyard wall. Soon after, a "drive" sound was heard outside the courtyard wall, and a carriage was heard turning the corner and heading towards the gate.
Chen Yuanqu raised his right finger and plucked his eyebrows, and said to the little boy just now: "Um, smart boy, can you open the door?"
"Yes, my room is on the right side of the door." The little boy responded.
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand toward Ji Tongcheng, who immediately shouted: "Wang Pin!" Wang Pin immediately ran over, took out an exquisite kit from his arms, and respectfully held it in his hands and presented it to In front of Ji Tongcheng. Ji Tongcheng grabbed the kit, tremblingly opened it and threw it down. The key slipped down. The smart boy grabbed the key and ran out as fast as he could. Then Wang Pin immediately ran over and stood in his original position. It seemed that as long as Master Ji had no other orders, he would always stand here. Chen Yuan had to rest assured about this bitch.
The sound of the heavy door opening could be clearly heard in the North Courtyard, waking up the other half of the village for the crowing rooster. The second waist is good, as is the legs. I have been running back and forth between the south gate and the north courtyard for more than ten times. Every time I go to the north courtyard, I look back and see that the army has not followed me, so I run back again, "Hurry up, hurry up!" I urge twice and walk again. In his head, without realizing it, he disappeared again with a "swish" sound. He was already impatient to be able to take off Ji Tongcheng's mask in front of the poor children who had been deceived. He would take the initiative as soon as possible and smash this bastard to death with two punches. I don't know how many times later, fifteen or six women dressed in gorgeous clothes finally came in together with Dai Er. The difference is that Dai Er's face is full of excitement, but the faces of the women are all full of sadness and resentment, and most of them are dull and numb.
"Sister Yanqi!" One of the four little girls in front of Chen Yuan was full of joy and threw herself into the arms of the woman who came in first. The woman is indeed beautiful. The sad look on her face not only does not affect her beauty, but also adds a bit of melancholy. Her pale face and sickly face make her even more pitiful. She lovingly stroked the braided little head in her arms, her eyes slowly becoming hollow, as if she was stroking her former self from a distance.
"Ask your sister what kind of family she married into!" Dai Er gasped, his chest heaving. He didn't know whether he was angry or tired from jumping back and forth.
"Sister! This weirdo beat uncle like that! He also said that uncle is actually the enemy who caused the destruction of our family!" The little girl huffed and pointed towards Chen Yuan.
Yanqi came back to her senses, raised her head and glanced at Chen Yuan. Her eyes were very complicated. In just a short moment of exchange, they actually changed several times. Chen Yuan was a little confused for a moment.
"Is it fake, sister?" the little girl raised her head and asked. At this time, many eyes in the hall were staring at her, because not only the four people in the same hospital with her knew her and had seen her.
"Who would know who he is after being beaten like this?" Yanqi said lightly, not answering the question.
"This..." Dai Er was a little stunned, "You just have to say yes or no! Is there such a thing?" Dai Er was a little anxious, rushed up to squeeze Chen Yuan away, stood behind Ji Tongcheng, and stretched his hands to his nose He pinched the two swollen cheeks in front of him and pulled them from side to side like tearing paper. Ji Tongcheng's eyebrows were revealed. "What about now! Yes or no?" Dai Er asked.
Yanqi took a quick glance, her eyes brightened, and she opened her mouth to speak, but quickly shut up and lowered her head.
Chen Yuan saw clearly, what was she afraid of? In this current situation, what is she still worried about? When I was about to ask, I heard a "bang" sound, and a person flew in from outside the east wall. He was thrown to the ground sideways, with his face facing the hall: there was a long scar on his face, and there was no eye in his right eye, which was a black hole. . A figure followed closely behind, placing a foot on the stomach of the lying person. The chest moved up and down with the breathing of the person under his feet, like a sparrow holding on to a swaying twig.
"Going into the city to arrest someone and coming back so late is showing off!" Dai Er immediately mocked Chen Yuan after asking Chen Yuan where Gu Ming had gone.
Gu Mingli ignored him, bent down to pick up Zhu Qiang and walked towards Chen Yuan. "Yes, Xiao Ming, just the two times you did just now are enough for three or five trips back and forth." Chen Yuan also asked with a smile.
"Hey! Unlucky! I killed a gang easily." Gu Ming sighed.
"..."
"..."
"I went to the gambling house to catch this guy. He was studying a dead man on the table with a group of people. He was talking nonsense about what happened to the master of Yixiaotang." Gu Ming said, Dai Erchenyuan Looking at each other, they knew that the members of Yixiaotang had discovered the gang master whose throat was cut by Chen Yuan. Then I heard Gu Mingdao: "I was in a hurry, so I opened the door and went in, saying, 'You guys are busy first, I can borrow this person for use.' After I said that, I clicked on Zhu Qiang's acupuncture point and picked up his collar and was already going out. Those people didn't go. Those who were busy with them actually surrounded me. I think the person who died is not important in their gang." Chen Yuan then discovered that Gu Ming, who usually doesn't talk much, actually made more tantrums than Dai Erbu. let. He smiled and listened to Gu Ming say: "These people showed their weapons to me first. When I think about it, it is not a good thing to be with these things, especially with the person whose throat you cut. "After that, he threw the person in his hand at Ji Tongcheng's feet.
"Then what?" Dai Er was fascinated by the story.
"Then I was about to leave after taking care of them. When I was walking out the door with this thing in my hand, I stepped on the ground and broke the bluestone. Guess what?" Gu Ming still pretended.
"What's going on?" Dai Er was completely entranced.
"In the backyard of Ning Qiang Gambling House, the entire yard was hollowed out." Gu Ming said, "The stone slab I stepped on was the entrance at the end."
"Yes!" Chen Yuan said.
"What is it?" Dai Er was completely confused.
"What's missing in the middle has been made up." Chen Yuan said.
"What are you talking about! I'm so anxious." Dai Er scratched his chest.
"The children here have not been harmed yet, or they have been harmed but do not know the truth. The girls in Zhenchun Yuan and the disabled children begging on the roadside have been harmed and know the truth." Chen Yuan said , looked at Gu Ming, who was nodding, and Dai Er, who was still confused, and said, "Then where are those poor children who are learning the truth and who are being tortured?"
"Yes, my brother guessed it right. When I first entered, I could hear screams and wails." Gu Ming nodded.
"Yes, the children whose legs have been sawed off and whose eyes have been gouged out are brought into the city to beg by several people during the day and taken to a ruined temple outside the city at night. I have been following this for several days. But the children are not always the same. As soon as their legs were amputated, they would be dragged out to beg, and they had to let them grow the wounds to the same size. So I have never found out where they were when the wounds were growing just after they were mutilated." Chen Yuan said, and then Then he asked: "Where are the children?"
"I thought about it and didn't know what to do, so I just got rid of all the guards inside, and the child was still inside." Gu Mingdao.
"Has it been dealt with completely? Don't stir up trouble." Chen Yuan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, brother. After I learned that the guards were all members of Yixiaotang, I made a special trip to destroy their main gang. Although the gang is small, there are actually two gangs in this silver city, one in the east and one in the west. , that’s why I’m late.” Gu Ming said.
A shrill scream cut through the dawn, and the sky was filled with red clouds like blood. Light is about to shine on the earth again. Light will definitely come after darkness, but who can shine in their world? Is there light after their darkness?
Everyone followed the sound, and Yanqi covered her face and squatted on the ground. Her hands were too strong, and her beautiful face was scratched with red fingerprints. She stood up tremblingly, her eyes were red, her lips were bitten with blood: "It's him, it's him, it's him!" After saying that, she staggered over and beat Ji Tongcheng's chest like crazy with all her strength. With. But how much strength can she have? The two swollen flesh on Ji Tongcheng's face did not even tremble.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?" Dai Er grabbed Jian Man's hand.
Yanqi's body softened and she sat on the ground, lost her mind and said: "I thought you were in the same group."
The three of them looked at each other, confused. Yanqi's eyes were empty and she didn't know where she was looking, and she was talking like she was gibbering to someone: "I thought it was just like the previous times, it was his new way of playing. If we sneak away, we will be caught and beaten. After a while, once I ran out of the city and got on the carriage. I felt relieved and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was still sitting in a familiar room and familiar bed. Looking at the smiling evil ghost, behind him stood the coachman driving the carriage." When he mentioned the evil ghost, he came back to his senses and glanced at Ji Tongcheng, with fear still in his eyes. He trembled, as if he wanted to shake off those fears, and then said: "He likes to torture us like a cat playing with a mouse. Every time he teases us, we have less thoughts of escaping. When we see that we can't escape, we want to invite someone. Rescue me, or ask someone to report it to the official. For the first time, I told a very sympathetic guest about my experience, and he said that he would report it to the official for me and rescue me. I watched him go out with great hope, and a quarter of an hour later he So they came back with the people. They were not official servants, but evil spirits. When they saw my face changing from full of hope to feeling like I was struck by lightning, they laughed for half a quarter of an hour, and then tortured me together until midnight." Yanqi's tears had already stopped. After crying, he said in a dumb voice: "Later, I carefully selected two people and told them what happened to me, but they still brought evil ghosts. Naturally, I was tortured twice more, and the last time I was tortured I pulled out all the toenails on my feet." As he said this, he slowly pulled off his shoes and socks. The toenails were not fully grown yet, only half grown. "I have also thought about telling everyone that I can't have all the guests arranged by him. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to withstand his torture a few more times. I want to live." Yanqi paused: "Later I told I met two people, both of whom said they would find a way to rescue me, but they were never heard from again. It seemed that the person who was an evil spirit came to test whether I had given up the idea of escape, and the third one probably hadn't figured out how to torture me yet. Yanqi let out a long breath after saying, "After that, I never told anyone again. I admit it, I only hope for a miracle to save me, such as thunder from the sky killing the evil ghosts and the others at the same time, or the earth shaking. A hole could just swallow them up, just like a landslide could just bury them. I can only hope in this one-in-a-billion fantasy, I must live." Yanqi said firmly.
"Aren't you afraid that it will be the same game again this time?" Dai Er asked.
"If it was still a game this time, then he would have paid too much. He wants to enjoy the game, so how could he suffer like this?" Yanqi said, "I was a little hesitant because people often like to torture others. , I would like to be tortured more or less. But after I saw him, I was sure that the thunder! It fell on them after all!" Yanqi suddenly said loudly, pointing to Zhu Qiang lying on the ground. , laughed sadly. "Because of him! It's impossible for him to get even a little bit hurt just to play games with the evil spirits!" Yanqi roared without even taking a breath: "We are the unjust souls who were fried and roasted in hell. ! He is the ghost holding us against the bottom of the pot with a steel fork, and holding a fire stick to make the fire burn brighter!"
"That's him! The bad guy! Where is my mother! Where is she? What did you do to her!" The smart boy is small and has short legs. After opening the door, I ran back and saw Zhu Qiang lying on the ground. He rushed towards him and smashed his fists on him. He was still sobbing until he was picked up by Dai Er, who was still in his arms. Throbbing.
"Who among you was captured by him?" Dai Er asked, but no one answered.
"Although I wasn't captured by him, he was watching over us in hell. After Ji Tongcheng said he found a good family for me, he took me to the gambling house in the city. Ji Tongcheng's true colors were revealed and he was completely destroyed. After us, we let Zhu Qiang play with us, like flowers. Some sisters were tortured to death! Zhu Qiang would not let himself be harmed even a little bit. People in hell called him 'Mirror' "Sir," because no matter who hurt him, he would return it intact, just like looking in a mirror. Even their hall master was no exception. One time, their hall master accidentally scratched him. With a flick of his forearm, he drew his sword without saying a word and carved an identical wound on their hall master's forearm. Their hall master actually didn't even move and let him do whatever he wanted." Yanqi took a breath and said again. : "You can imagine what kind of nightmare it would be for people like us who are inferior to animals in his eyes." Yanqi seemed to be in a trance again: "There was a sister who was in too much pain when she was tortured by him, and her nails were scratched On his back, he actually turned his sister over and peeled off the entire skin on her back." After speaking, he shook unconsciously, "One sister pulled out a strand of his hair during the struggle, and he was actually alive. My sister's hair was pulled out and her flesh and blood were all mixed up." Yanqi cried again: "Even when he was chasing another sister, he accidentally fell and hit his knee, and even gouged out that sister's patella, and then said Send it somewhere while it's hot, someone seems to like the disabled so they can sell it for a good price!" Yanqi fainted from crying. Among the group of women behind him, a woman wearing a gauze walked slowly over. She slowly opened the thick gauze on her head, and a scarred bald head appeared in front of everyone. She didn't say a word, she just burst into tears, but it was worth a thousand words and any accusation.
"What a bastard! Ling Chi is too cheap!" The corners of Dai Er's eyes almost burst and his teeth almost broke before he said this. If he hadn't been holding a child, his fingers would have been inserted into Zhu Qiang's Tianling Gai. Most of the children in the field believed it now. Some fainted on the spot, some stood still with their eyes open and did not speak, and some collapsed on the ground crying for their parents. Smart Baby struggled to get out of Dai Er's arms, bit the culprit Ji Tongcheng's thigh, beat him in the stomach with her small fists, and cursed the big liar while beating him. Chen Yuan and the first three girls who had physical contact with Ji Tongcheng all sat down on the ground. The girl who was in Yanqi's arms was also trembling and biting her lips.
"Xiao Ming, unblock his acupuncture points. I have something to ask him." Chen Yuan said slowly, and Gu Ming shot another peanut towards Zhu Qiang.
"Why don't you get up and wait for me to come and carry you!" Dai Er said angrily, and after speaking, he spat a mouthful of phlegm accurately on Zhu Qiang's face. Zhu Qiang didn't move.
"Aren't you a mirror? Come on, look at me, come on!" Dai Er said, taking a step forward and crushing Zhu Qiang's ankle with a "click" sound. Zhu Qiang remained motionless.
"Oh, little Zamao can bear it!" Dai Er said, rolling up his sleeves and getting ready for a cruel blow. Chen Yuan saw something was wrong: "Wait a minute." He walked closer and took a look at Zhu Qiang, who was lifeless, and then squatted down and raised his wrist. After a moment, he frowned and said, "I'm paralyzed." Gu Ming was also surprised when he heard this. , Yue Dao looked closer and frowned.
"You're too cruel! You didn't ask any questions!" Dai Er complained to Gu Ming, blowing his beard and staring.
Gu Ming said nothing, but looked at Chen Yuan with the same inquiring gaze, slowly shook his head, and his brows furrowed deeper.
"It's useless now. What's the use of bringing up a loser." Dai Er was dejected.
"It's still a little bit useful. He just can't move or speak, but he still feels it." After saying that, he gave a burst of energy to Yanqi who fainted from crying, and looked at the beautiful woman who woke up leisurely, and said: "Your ordeal is over, let's celebrate a little." After saying that, he grabbed the lapel of Zhu Qiang's clothes, threw it out the door, and said, "Go outside, don't scare the children."
The sparkle in Yanqi's eyes was even brighter than when Dai Er had just completed the Lingyun Palace Mental Technique. She rushed to Zhu Qiang in two steps, pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it into his throat, but stopped less than an inch away. . I thought in my heart that I was so impulsive that I almost killed him in one go. That would be too cheap. If nothing else, there were other sisters. Finally, he moved his hand and stabbed Zhu Qiang's intact eyeball hard, gouging it out and piercing it like a hawthorn on a hairpin. He laughed heartily twice: "You evil ghost! It's today too!" After saying that, he lifted up his sleeves and said, "I just knocked over the candle, and your arm was burned by the wax tears, and there wasn't even a mark. You used a soldering iron to burn my entire arm, leaving no trace of it!" Everyone looked at such a beautiful woman with such a ferocious arm. Only the little bit of white that was not burned showed through, telling the story of this original It's an arm like a jade lotus root. After Yanqi finished speaking, she bit off the hawthorn from the hairpin and spit it aside. Another hairpin pierced Zhu Qiang's shoulder and dragged hard along his arm to his wrist. Zhu Qiang's skin was torn and there was a deep blood groove on his arm, as if a child had eaten corn cobs in two rows.
Such a cruel punishment made all the girls brought by Dai Er excited. They stared intently and clenched their fists. The bald woman trembled and ran there, knelt down in front of Zhu Qiang's head, screamed like crazy and pulled out Zhu Qiang's hair until it was all bloody and bloody. More and more people moved and surrounded the place. It was so chaotic that it was difficult to see the people in the middle and hear everyone's voice. All I can smell is blood, and I can hear joy.
Ji Tongcheng was already frightened and didn't say a word for a long time. He was trembling the whole time, and the sound of ticking was clearly audible. Chen Yuan wanted to move two steps away, but Ji Tongcheng knelt down and hugged his leg: "Grandpa, I have done everything I should do, let me live. All my family wealth will raise these children to adulthood, grandpas Let me live!" After saying that, he kowtows like pounding garlic. He knew that he was in danger, and even if Chen Yuan and the others didn't kill him, if his martial arts were ruined and he fell into the hands of these children, he would be worse than Zhu Qiang. Zhu Qiang is the second master of Yixiaotang, but if he has fallen into such a situation, he is not even as good as a fly.
"If I say I won't kill you, I will definitely not kill you. Don't worry about that." Chen Yuan said with a smile. "Continuing with the last question at that moment, why did you say Wu Xian's name? What is his relationship with you?"
"I said, you guarantee that I will live to the end of my life in good health." Ji Tongcheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sanxian always spits a nail, and everyone in the world knows it." He did not forget to flatter me: "If we can't guarantee it, Even if I die, I won't tell you." Ji Tongcheng said harshly. When people's fear ends, they slowly develop anger.
"You are not qualified to bargain with me." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Pop!" Another crisp sound made Ji Tongcheng collapse to the ground: "Do you think we can't find out if you don't tell us?" Dai Er said angrily. As he spoke, he lifted up Ji Tongcheng with his left hand, pointed at his Dantian with his right hand, and then his martial arts was abolished. Said: "If you don't tell me, Zhu Qiang outside is almost eaten by them. If you don't tell me, I will throw you over!"
Ji Tongcheng seemed to be stunned, his neck tilted, and there was no movement. Gu Ming's furrowed brows had never opened. When he saw this, he immediately jumped over, probed under his nose with one finger, and took another pulse. Finally, he tore open the lapel of Ji Tongcheng's clothes, looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Dead." He pointed one finger. The bulging blood vessels on his chest were already black in color, and he said, "Poisoned."
Chen Yuan pinched open the corner of Ji Tongcheng's mouth, which was gradually overflowing with black blood, and looked at the teeth on both sides, his brows were like Gu Ming's: "It's not poison hidden in advance."
"Then how did he get poisoned?" Dai Er was surprised and said, "He didn't eat or drink, and he didn't meet anyone along the way."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Then when was he poisoned?" Dai Er scratched his head.
"If you weren't poisoned on the road, it can only be here." Gu Ming still frowned and said softly.
"Here? Who here can poison him?" Dai Er looked around and said, "These are all poor children. If they had this ability, they wouldn't be here."
Gu Ming nodded and said: "No one has ever approached him here. Who could poison and kill people without knowing it under Brother Yuan's eyes?" After saying this, the three of them fell into deep thought.
A "clang" sound brought the three of them back from their brief trance. Something fell from the arms of the little boy who had been placed on the ground by Dai Er. The three of them followed the sound and saw that it was a key. After the little boy opened the door, he stuffed it into his clothes and then made a series of movements and slowly slid it away. come out. The three of them slowly looked away and thought about it again, how did they get poisoned? Suddenly Chen Yuan looked into the distance and shouted: "Wang Pin! Where is the person!"
When everyone looked at Wang Pin in the periphery, Wang Pin had already collapsed on the ground, leaning against the door, with black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, just like Ji Tongcheng. Dai Er jumped a few feet away and pulled open Wang Pin's clothes. The blood vessels bulging on his chest were already black. It is also the same as that of Ji Tongcheng.
"Hey! This guy is dead too!" Dai Er stood up in surprise, "Just like his master."
"I think it should be him. He was the only one who had been close to Ji Tongcheng and even touched him when he came up to deliver the key." Chen Yuan said.
"You underestimated him. He was afraid that Ji Tongcheng would reveal some secrets, so he poisoned him to death. Not only was he Ji Tongcheng's bastard, but he also watched over Ji Tongcheng's legs for his master, and he would poison him even if he had to sacrifice himself. Him." Gu Ming said.
