Guan Shaoqi's men were quickly restrained. Except for Guan Shaoqi, everyone else was beheaded. Guan Shaoqi himself was tied up and thrown to the ground. After doing this, before Jade could go up to grab someone, another figure came out of the woods.
Judging from the man's pace, it seemed that he didn't know martial arts, and his body was not in good shape. He started breathing heavily after walking a few steps.
The man was wearing a pair of ill-fitting night clothes, with a black cloth covering his head, and only his eyes were exposed. He took off his mask in front of Guan Shaoqi. Since his back was to Jade and Bai Shuyu, they did not see his face.
Then, the man's voice rang out: "Do you know me?"
His voice is relatively soft among men, and does not sound tough at all.
Hearing this voice, both Jade and Bai Shuyu guessed who this person was. For a moment, the two people were stunned on the branch of the tree.
Guan Shaoqi raised his head vigorously, looked at the tall nose and dark blue eyes of the man in front of him, and said with a sinister smile: "Baby of the Bai family, I didn't expect that I fell into your hands!"
"Let me ask you, where is Li Fengyao hiding?"
Before Guan Shaoqi could reply, he heard a shout from afar.
"Second brother!"
Jade didn't notice that Bai Shuyu had already jumped off the tree branch and rushed towards the man.
Bai Zhonglian looked at his third brother who was rushing over, with a bitter smile on his face, and asked lightly: "Shu Yu, why are you here?"
Bai Shuyu didn't reply. He rushed to Bai Zhonglian and punched him. Bai Zhonglian did not know martial arts. He still had the sequelae of poisoning when he was young. His body bones were much weaker than ordinary people. Bai Shuyu knocked him to the ground with one punch.
When the dead men of the Bai family saw the two young masters fighting, they were stunned for a moment, not knowing who to help or whether to break up the fight.
Jade helped them solve the problem. She had already taken Bai Shuyu's arm.
Bai Shuyu rarely loses his composure. At this moment, he is staring at Bai Zhonglian on the ground. The emotions in his eyes are very complicated, including sadness, anger, and a hint of touch after meeting brothers.
Bai Zhonglian did not stand up from the ground, he still smiled: "This punch is also deserved. However, Shu Yu, we will talk about the family matters later, we still have things to do."
Over there, Guan Shaoqi had already bent over with laughter.
"Hahahaha! Brothers killing each other, you Bai family have so many jokes."
Bai Zhonglian stood up from the ground and continued to ask Guan Shao Qi.
"Let me ask you again, did you kill my parents?"
Guan Shaoqi was stunned for a moment: "It seems that you have found out. Yes, I killed him."
"It seems that you deserve to die."
Bai Shuyu and Jade were stunned when they heard the conversation between the two. Does Bai Zhonglian mean by this...
Guan Shaoqi asked again: "So, where is Li Fengyao?"
"You should give up this idea, I won't tell you."
Bai Shuyu suddenly asked loudly: "Why do you hate the Bai family so much?!"
Before Guan Shaoqi could answer, he heard Bai Zhonglian say: "That year, there were three guests from the Jiahua Department. One was you, the other was my adoptive father, Bai Ruoyun, and his friend Wu Qingyan. Wu Qingyan and you They all fell in love with Yale, the sister of a knife maker. There is no custom in the Jiahua tribe that girls should not marry outside. On the contrary, they like to marry Han people because most of them are very rich. Yale did not fall in love with you, she fell in love with you. You married Wu Qingyan, and the two got married in the Jiahua tribe. Not long after, Yale became pregnant with a child. Because of this, you held a grudge and took advantage of the sandstorm to slaughter half of the people in the Jiahua tribe. Wu Qingyan was also killed by you. Killed. Unfortunately...my adoptive father and Yale escaped. Soon after, Yale gave birth to a baby boy, but she died in childbirth...I was that baby, I am not a child of the Bai family."
Guan Shaoqi said sadly: "What's the use if you know it? Who in this world believes in you?"
"I don't need anyone to believe it. It would be nice for myself and my family to know the truth. My adoptive father and my father both regard you as a good friend, but you did this kind of thing. Even if the Bai family was in trouble later, he The body is also getting weaker and weaker
, but he still sent people to the Western Region to inquire about your whereabouts. It didn’t stop until he died..."
Bai Shuyu was shocked by these words. He didn't know where his second brother went after he left home. He didn't even know that he took away some of the dead soldiers. After returning to Bai's house from Songshan that day, he drank for several days and was drunk for several days. He kept himself locked in the house and had no contact with anyone. When he woke up again, he was already standing in front of his sister's grave, and his second brother had already left.
All of this... is it an unforeseen disaster?
Bai Shuyu resented his damn father even more: Why didn't you tell your family that your second brother was Wu Qingyan's son in the first place? If so, is there still such a thing?
"I won," Guan Shaoqi didn't care about his situation. "I ruined his son's life. I won too much. Even the Bai family was half destroyed by me. You Bai family will never do it in the future. Only Bai Xueyan died."
Bai Zhonglian shook his head: "I disappoint you, Xue...my sister is not dead, she is still alive."
At this time, not only Guan Shaoqi, but also Jade and Bai Shuyu were in shock.
Bai Zhonglian ignored the shocked people and continued: "When you were traveling with my father and the others, you deliberately concealed your identity. In fact, my father had already found out your family background. You are not alone. Your parents are still alive. , there are still many children in your clan."
Guan Shaoqi suddenly started to tremble, and panic began to appear in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Boy! Our account! Don't involve my family!"
Bai Zhonglian shook his head: "No one has anything to do with you. It has always been your wishful thinking. You massacred my people, killed my parents, and now you are harming the Bai family... You told me that you are not harming your family? As long as If you reveal Li Fengyao's location, I will let your family go, but you... must die."
Guan Shaoqi couldn't wait to say: "In my arms! There is a map! It's the Li family's underground palaces in various places! I don't know where she is, and I can only rely on these underground palaces to contact her!"
Bai Zhonglian took out a roll of something from Guan Shaoqi's arms, opened it, looked at it, nodded and said, "It seems like this is it."
After saying that, he turned to look at Bai Shuyu: "Shu Yu, I know you hate him too, but can you trust me with his life?"
Bai Shuyu remained silent.
Bai Zhonglian took a steel knife from the hands of the dead soldier on the side and stabbed it fiercely into Guan Shaoqi's arms. The grudges of more than 20 years ago have finally come to an end.
After killing the person, Bai Zhonglian seemed to have not yet struggled out of the confusion of revenge. He stood there blankly holding the bloody steel knife.
Bai Shuyu asked: "You just said...sister is still alive?"
"Yes, still alive."
"Where is she?!"
Bai Zhonglian shook his head: "Shu Yu, don't go see her... I will take good care of her."
Bai Shuyu's anger suddenly rose again: "She is our Bai family! She should stay in our Bai family!"
Bai Shuyu had resentment towards Bai Zhonglian, but he just didn't say it. Now that he knows that his sister is alive, he doesn't want his sister to have anything to do with this person anymore, and he can just settle down with his destiny from now on. Let’s just pretend that the brotherhood that we had for so many years never happened. Without Bai Zhonglian, the Bai family would not have ended up like this.
Bai Zhonglian said: "Shu Yu... although she is not dead, but... she is crazy..."
Bai Shuyu lost his mind for a moment, and Jade hurriedly asked: "Are you crazy?"
"She went crazy after learning about that incident. It's just that you, Shuyu... drank all day long and didn't see her during that time. The Bai family was everything to her, and that lie drove her crazy. Even though I have found out the truth, I told her the truth, but she still couldn't wake up. Forget it, Shu Yu, don't see her again, I'm afraid she will be stimulated again. Don't worry, I will take good care of her for the rest of my life..."
Bai Zhonglian returned the sword to the dead soldiers and said to them: "You can follow the Third Young Master back. You don't have to follow me anymore."
Bai Shuyu suddenly grabbed Bai Zhonglian's collar. He was so angry that it was the first time he was so angry at his second brother.
"I said she is from the Bai family! She is not yours! Don't you understand?! Tell me where she is! It's all because of you...it's all
because of you! My sister wouldn’t be like this without you! Even if you don't tell me, I still have a way to find her. It's just the difference between you telling me personally or me finding it myself. "
After talking about it, Bai Shuyu felt like he had no strength.
They had been fooled to this point by a lie. Li Fengyao didn't have any secrets of the Bai family at all. He was plotted by Li Fengyao. Everything Li Fengyao did made him mistakenly believe that there was such a thing. Speaking of which, he also bears part of the responsibility. It's just that when things got to this point, he wanted to find someone to vent his anger, and Bai Zhonglian happened to be this person.
Jade separated the two people forcefully. She was now the most sober one among all the people present.
Bai Zhonglian was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, come with me."
Ever since Bai Zhonglian left the Bai family with the dead soldiers, Bai Xueyan had been secretly taken with him. They went to the Western Regions first, and then returned to the Central Plains after figuring out all this. She has experienced hardships along the way. Bai Xueyan is a weak woman after all, and it is not easy for her to survive until now.
Bai Zhonglian will not be too far away from Bai Xueyan. No matter where he goes, he will find a way to place her first.
Outside a small farmyard ten miles away, the dead soldiers did not follow them into the village, and Bai Zhonglian had already taken off his black clothes.
He put his hand on the door knocker and said to Bai Shuyu and Jade: "Wait a minute... try not to irritate her."
Jade nodded, Bai Shuyu said nothing, he pulled Bai Zhonglian away and pushed the door open fiercely.
In the courtyard made of blue bricks, a woman in simple clothes was sitting in the middle of the courtyard. She was holding a baby who had just turned one month old in her arms and was smiling and teasing her. The child is very obedient and does not cry or make trouble.
Bai Shuyu looked at this woman blankly, tears instantly filling his eyes.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman looked towards the door. When she saw the person coming, she smiled brightly: "Shu Yu, Jade, you are here."
It seems as if they have never been separated, as if they are still in the Bai family now.
Jade walked over quickly and asked, "Sister Bai, you..."
Bai Xueyan didn't wait for Jade to finish what she said. He took her hand and said with a smile: "Come, take a look at your nephew. The little guy has not been so noisy recently. In the past month, it was so noisy that people couldn't sleep every day. Jade , did you and Shu Yu come together? Did you leave the child at home? Your mother looks fierce, can you take good care of the child? "
Jade was speechless when he asked this question.
Before Feicui could say anything, Bai Xueyan said to herself: "Mom said she would come back when she went to grandma's house. She hasn't been home for half a month... Hey, come back and look after the child for me. , this little guy is torturing me to death."
Bai Shuyu felt that his steps were a little frivolous and he didn't know how he got to Bai Xueyan. He squatted down and looked at the child in Bai Xueyan's arms. Black hair, black eyes, nothing like Bai Zhonglian, not even like Bai Xueyan.
Bai Xueyan looked at Bai Shuyu, and the expression on his face became serious: "Shu Yu! The teacher told me that you skipped class again, right? Wait until your elder brother comes back and see how he deals with you! You are already married to Feicui, so you can't behave. Are you better? If you make me, my younger brother and sister, angry, look at how I will deal with you!"
Bai Shuyu looked up at Bai Xueyan, who was looking sulky. Tears finally flowed down his face. He tried to control his emotions and said, "Sir, you have already punished me. I will not skip classes in the future, nor will I feel sorry for Jade."
Hearing what Bai Shuyu said, Bai Xueyan changed her face and patted Bai Shuyu on the head, just like she did to Bai Shuyu when she was a child. Read the book
"Shu Yu, be good. My parents are not here. My sister will take care of you...ah, it's almost noon. You two should stay and eat."
In fact, it was almost dark.
Bai Xueyan put the child into Bai Zhonglian's arms, got up and walked to the kitchen. Jade wanted to follow, but was stopped by Bai Zhonglian.
"Jade, let her go on her own...don't go against her will."
Jade had no choice but to give up.
In the kitchen, Bai Xueyan skillfully selected vegetables and cut meat, as if she often did this, and she didn't look like the eldest lady of the Bai family at all.
Bai Zhonglian looked at it
The child in his arms said to Bai Shuyu and Jade: "This is not our child. Our child just came out of the Bai family a few months ago and disappeared... This child was on our way back a month ago. She picked him up and regarded him as her own child."
Bai Zhonglian's voice was very low, trying not to be heard by Bai Xueyan.
Jade whispered: "Her time is messed up. The past, present, and things that haven't happened yet are all overlapping together. However, those bad things have been filtered out, leaving only good memories. Brother Bai, is that so? ?」
Bai Zhonglian nodded: "If... you accidentally mention those bad things in the past to her, she will go crazy and break everything she can see... So I don't want you to see her, I'm afraid she will think of it again. What."
After most of the day, Bai Xueyan prepared a sumptuous "lunch". Miss Bai's craftsmanship is good, or in other words, the Bai family siblings' craftsmanship is good. Compared with Bai Shuyu's food, Bai Xueyan's food is more fireworks.
The only imperfection in this meal was that Bai Boju's family of three (in Bai Xueyan's imagination, Bai Boju was already married and had children) were not there, and by the way, Bai Shuyu and Feicui's children were not there either.
After the meal, the two said goodbye to Bai Xueyan. They wanted to go home early while "it was still early." Bai Xueyan tried to persuade them to stay for a while. Finally, Bai Zhonglian said, "There are not so many rooms at home," and Bai Xueyan let go. The two of them go.
