After coming out of Li's house, Tang Bailing felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Mu Zi's hatred is boring, but she is even more boring than her. In other people's stories, she should actually be a dispensable little character, but who knew she was forced to this point.
More than two hours had passed. When she saw Tan Wushuang, the little fat man was preparing to enter Li's house.
"Sister Mu!" Tan Wushuang looked delighted, "Are you back??"
Tang Bailing looked at the simple fat man in front of him, and suddenly felt that the person he felt most sorry for along the way was him.
"Well, I'm back...it's been two hours, why didn't you leave?"
"I'm afraid something will happen to you."
This sentence almost made Tang Bailing cry. The friendship she had tried so hard to get from Mu Zi was actually found in the person in front of her. It turned out to be this feeling of being cared about. She had never experienced it since her uncle died.
Tan Wushuang asked: "Have you found the person?"
Tang Bailing nodded: "Found it."
"Then...what did you ask?"
"Asked."
"What's next?" Shen Jing didn't even ask what happened.
Tang Bailing smiled miserably and asked, "I am a person like this. If you follow me, what are you insisting on?"
Tan Wushuang scratched the back of his head: "I just think... we are our own people. You shouldn't... No, you should let go of those hatreds. I know it's a thunderbolt to persuade people to be generous, but... Jiu Ye, after all He's your grandfather."
Tang Bailing nodded and said, "Let's go for a walk by the river."
"It's so late, why don't we go back to the inn?"
"I don't want to go back."
The river breeze was a bit cool at night. Tang Bailing sat on a stone by the river, looking at the river, feeling a little lost. Tan Wushuang caught a wild duck from somewhere. It had just been stripped of its feathers and internal organs, and was roasting it on a simple campfire.
After roasting for a while, Tan Wushuang sliced off a piece of meat, wrapped it in reeds and sent it to Tang Bailing. He said with a smile, "Sister Mu, eat something. We haven't eaten much today."
Mu Zi took the duck meat but did not eat it. She turned to look at Tan Wushuang. This little fat man was running around with her. In the past few months, he had lost more than ten kilograms. What used to be a small round face can now be seen with some strong lines. Such a man would be quite handsome if he lost weight, right?
"You..." Tang Bailing wanted to ask Tan Wushuang something, but he hesitated.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Have you...ever thought about what would happen if one day you find out that you have been cheated?"
"Being cheated by someone?" Tan Wushuang couldn't figure it out. "Who was being cheated by?"
In a sense, among the many children in Chaolan Valley, the one who is most similar to Amber is Tan Wushuang. He is also very good at eating, very simple, also has no ideas, and is also not very bright.
"You always thought it was true, but in the end you found out it was false. For example, after a long time, you found out that you were being used."
Tan Wushuang thought for a while and asked, "Sister Mu, do you want to say that you have been using me?"
Tang Bailing was so surprised that he laughed: "Huh?"
Tan Wushuang smiled: "I know you have been using me to get close to Li Fenglan and the others through me. I know all this. I am not a fool."
"Then why are you willing to be used by me?"
"Didn't I say that we are our own people, although you may not agree with it. But I still hope that you can be with us in the end... I don't like trouble, I just like the excitement of big guys. When the things outside the valley are over, I still hope that all of us can return to live in the valley. Although I tried every means to escape last year, after I came out, I found that this world is not interesting. I have not seen any beauties, nor have I met any No matter what big things we live, they are far less wonderful than Li Fenglan and the others. But I am content. I know that wandering into the world will lead to death, so isn’t it good to live? Why are you seeking death? If you stop hating us after using me, then I It’s worth it
Got it. "
Tang Bailing smiled bitterly: "I understand what you mean... but I don't belong to you. The Mu Zi you want may not be available... Wushuang, please promise me something."
"What's up?"
"If one day you find out about my plan, I hope you will show mercy to me that day."
"Sister Mu, what are you talking about? How could I hurt you?"
"Yes, you will not hurt Mu Zi, but I am different."
"Sister, why can't I understand you anymore?"
"It's nothing, don't think about it."
…
Li Fenglan woke up before dawn the next day. During this time, she was traveling alone. She was very alert and never fell asleep. Before dawn, there was the sound of getting up from the next room. He knew that the four money guards were about to take action.
The four money guards did not wear the iconic black clothes today, but put on ordinary outfits. From their appearance, they could not be distinguished from the locals.
Li Fenglan followed them all the way and watched the four people buy a lot of fruits and vegetables at the pier, put them in backpacks, and boarded a ferry. Li Fenglan also dressed up a little and followed on the boat. There were many people on the boat, mostly small traders.
The direction of the boat was towards Jiulian Village. Following the waterway for a while, Li Fenglan followed the people on the ferry ashore and saw Jiulian Village in front of her. Although Jiulian Village is a water bandit's nest on the surface, it is actually similar to Shuangye Village, with people living there and doing business. However, most people are engaged in water banditry, and a small number are serious people.
The water bandits have a good relationship with ordinary people. They are all fellow villagers. They are just one group of poor people relying on another group of poor people to survive. Not only Jiulian Village, but also several other water bandit villages, this is also the case.
After getting off the boat, Li Fenglan followed the four money guards at a short distance and saw them randomly looking for an open space. They actually found an open space in the market and started selling vegetables.
Li Fenglan found a teahouse not far from them, ordered some breakfast and tea, and secretly observed them while eating.
Those four people really sold vegetables honestly. When someone came to buy vegetables, they acted very familiar. It seemed that this was not the first time they did this.
In less than half the morning, the four baskets of vegetables were sold out, and the four of them returned to the ferry and took the boat back.
In order not to arouse their suspicion, Li Fenglan did not take the same boat back with them.
Li Fenglan has reason to believe that this Jiulian Village may be related to nineteen years ago.
Li Fenglan wandered around the village for a long time and roughly explored the topography of the village.
Jiulian Village is located on an independent island by Poyang Lake. The island is not large, only the size of a village. Fortunately, the terrain is flat and the river embankments are strong, making it quite suitable for living. Read the book
The so-called Jiulian Village is the base camp of the water bandits. It is located in the center of the island. It looks quite large from the outside. The entire village is surrounded by a wooden fence, which is about three meters high. There is a watchtower at regular intervals with manned handles on the tower. She ran to a place farther away and took a look. There were many buildings in the village, and the people inside were very tight and well-prepared.
She was not planning to do anything to Jiulian Village at the moment, and she would take the ferry back to Shuangye Village near noon. Who knew that this time on the boat, I would meet an acquaintance.
Mu Zi.
Li Fenglan quietly hid in the stern of the boat and kept glancing at Mu Zi out of the corner of her eye. Mu Zi stood at the bow of the boat, seemingly preoccupied and did not notice her.
When the boat arrived at the Shuangye Village Ferry, everyone got off the boat one after another. Li Fenglan quietly followed Mu Zi. Although he guessed where she would go, she still followed her just to be sure.
Sure enough, Mu Zi went to the yard where she committed the murder, but this time she didn't go in, but watched from a distance.
Li Fenglan was hiding in a tall sycamore tree with lush leaves, and she was wearing green clothes, which made her well hidden.
Standing high, she can see more things. For example, now, she can see "Mu Zi" and Tan Wushuang who are also hiding around the house.
…
Tang Bailing knew that with Mu Zi's nature
Ge, she will definitely come to Shuangye Village again.
Either don't do it, or do it forever. Since you want to do it, it's better to kill it and eliminate future troubles forever. Mu Zi's thoughts are known to almost everyone in Yeyu Xiaozhu.
In fact, since nineteen years ago, Ye Yu Xiaozhu's behavior is no longer the same as before, killing everyone's family at every turn. But since Mu Zi joined, this habit of killing people has returned. At first, the big boss and Chen Zijue interfered with this kind of prostitution, but the bosses who spent money were happy and occasionally gave more rewards, so the big boss stopped stopping it.
Because of this, Tang Bailing knew very well: Mu Zi could not get back together with Changfeng Tower. She had too many lives on her hands, so many that no serious person would accept her.
Tang Bailing also understood one thing: she couldn't pretend to be Mu Zi all her life. The disguise during this period had already made her feel disgusted. The long-term nervous tension has made her thinking a little fragile. Recently, she can no longer accept things that "scare herself". Last night at Li's house, if it had been before, she wouldn't have been so panicked.
If you want to end it, let’s do it today.
After Mu Zi appeared, Tang Bailing said to Tan Wushuang, "Wushuang, go south and guard that street."
Tan Wushuang asked, "Sister Mu, what are you going to do?"
"Just listen to me."
In fact, it was just to get rid of Tan Wushuang. This little fat man had done too much for himself. There was no telling what would happen later, so there was no need to let him risk his life.
Tan Wushuang believed in Mu Zi very much. After nodding, he quietly went over there.
Looking at Tan Wushuang leaving, Li Fenglan was a little confused: What did Fatty Tan do there? Apparently, it was to get rid of him?
After Tan Wushuang walked away, Tang Bailing did something that Li Fenglan couldn't figure out - she walked out and stood in front of Mu Zi like this?
Li Fenglan felt that things were getting interesting.
Mu Zi looked at Tang Bailing with a sneer and asked, "Aren't you going to hide anymore?"
"We still have to hide," Tang Bailing replied, "but before that, there are some things that need to be resolved between you and me."
"You are a minor character," Mu Zi's voice was emotionless, "I can just die peacefully, why waste so much of my time and energy?"
"I am not just a minor character. In your heart, killing me is like stepping on a weed."
"Yes, you know this very well."
"Hmph, you need to be able to do this first."
After saying that, Tang Bailing turned around and started running towards the dock, with Mu Zi chasing after him.
The direction the two were chasing was exactly the opposite direction from which Tan Wushuang had left. Tang Bailing was trying to stay as far away from Tan Wushuang as possible.
Just when it seemed interesting, Li Fenglan couldn't understand the current situation. She originally thought that the two were working together, and that the previous chase and fight were staged for Tan Wushuang, but now that there was no audience, why were the two of them working so hard?
Tang Bailing just ran away and didn't seem to want to fight, but Mu Zi's murderous intention had not changed from the beginning.
Li Fenglan doesn't really want the two of them to fight to the death now. There are some things she hasn't figured out yet. But she had no power to restrain the chicken and could not stop the fight. In desperation, she had no choice but to go to Tan Wushuang.
Tan Wushuang was hiding in the darkness on the street corner, apparently thinking that he was not exposed.
Li Fenglan quietly landed behind Tan Wushuang, and Tan Wushuang didn't notice until the two were still two steps away.
"You're at your level, and you're still keeping a close eye on me?"
Tan Wushuang jumped up in fright. When he turned around and saw Li Fenglan, he patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Li Fenglan?? Are you really here?"
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes: "Let's talk about this later. Come with me."
"Where to go? Sister Mu asked me to guard here."
"That's to get rid of you. Come with me. Your sister Mu may die later."
