Jiang Chuting sent a letter to Jiu Chongtian, and then continued south according to what Yuan Xi said.

Lin Zhi was satisfied enough not to be chased away by him, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Naturally, he went wherever he was going.She takes care of Xing'er meticulously every day, leans close to Jiang Chuting every now and then, helps him with things, gives him water, helps him into the carriage... In short, as long as he senses what he needs, he responds immediately.

Although most of them will be silently rejected, he is not discouraged.

Because the children are too young to be tired by boats and cars, they are not in a hurry along the way, and often stop the carriage halfway to have a rest, look at the scenery, and have something to eat.

That day they stopped in a forest, Wei Jia was too lazy to move, huddled in the carriage to eat, Jiang Chuting stood beside the carriage to breathe, Lin Zhi took Xing'er to pick flowers beside him.

From time to time, Xing'er's happy laughter came from one big and one small.

Jiang Chuting couldn't help turning his head to take a look.

During this period of time, Lin Zhi played with Xing'er, fed him, bathed and dressed him, and slept together. No matter how noisy Xing'er was, he was not angry, and he was patient and careful.Apart from not knowing the truth, Lin Zhi and Xing'er get along like father and son.

Lin Zhi had a few wild flowers randomly planted by Xing'er on his hair, and smiled and turned his head to cough a few times.The injury on his body has dragged on for too long, and it has never healed, and he has to take medicine every day.

Sensing Jiang Chuting's gaze, his eyes lit up, he waved at him, then picked up Xing'er who was spinning around at his feet, and walked over.

Lin Zhi talked to him with a smile on his face: "Are you leaving?"

Jiang Chuting didn't answer, just took Xing'er and got into the carriage.

Lin Zhi puffed his cheeks and followed suit.

The carriage continued to move forward, Xing'er leaned on Jiang Chuting's arms, turned his eyes a few times, and suddenly raised his face and asked Jiang Chuting, "Father, where is mother?"

Lin Zhi's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, his heart arose, and he turned his head away, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.

Xing'er slept with him last night, he couldn't bear to ask Xing'er about his mother.Xing'er is a little girl, since she was born, she only knew Jiang Chuting's father, how could she know so much, she was confused by his question.

Unexpectedly, this little guy was aroused by him to ask for knowledge at this time.

Jiang Chuting's first reaction was to look at Lin Zhi, probably knowing what was going on.

Before he could speak, Wei Jia narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said seriously, "You idiot Xing'er, your mother is right here."

As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi's eyes were wide open, Wei Jia was always in a daze, how could he still play tricks?

Xing'er tilted her head in doubt at first, but then seemed to be very satisfied with the result, happily threw herself into Lin Zhi's arms, and cried out sweetly: "Mother, mother, mother, you are my mother."

Lin Zhi hugged him, the corners of his mouth twitched several times, his face was about to smile: "Okay, okay, good boy. Don't bark."

Xing'er hugged his face affectionately, rubbed back and forth, and kissed him several times: "Mother, mother!"

"Hahaha..." The scene fell into absurdity for a while.

Lin Zhizheng was embarrassed, turned his eyes inadvertently, and happened to see the silent curve of Jiang Chuting's lips, as soft as water.

Lin Zhi was almost stunned: "Chuting, you laughed."

There is no indifference and alienation, just like when they were together before, he always showed such a beautiful smile to him.

Lin Zhi stared at him without moving, for fear of missing a single cent.

When Jiang Chuting heard his words, the corners of his mouth fell slowly, his smile changed from flat to disappearing, and then he looked straight ahead and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable, and his mood suddenly became depressed.

Although Lin Zhi hated his mother, he had been secretly paying attention to her situation.The court's investigation was extremely intense, and it was determined to eradicate the Lin family. Not only did the test medicine kill people, but also some other problems that had been covered up in the past were also dug out.Lin Xi pushed his subordinates to come forward to take the blame, but her whereabouts are secretive and have not been found so far.

With Hong Yufei here, she will definitely take care of his mother's safety and will not let her have trouble.As for him...he must be doomed, I don't know how many days he can live in this kind of life.

Due to the delay on the road, they did not enter the city that night, and found a family to stay in a quiet small village.

Lin Zhi ran into the master's kitchen and fiddled for a long time, his hands were scalded, and excitedly brought a large bowl of noodles over, and put it in front of Jiang Chuting.

"Chuting, there's nothing delicious here, so I can only cook noodles for you." Lin Zhi looked at him with bright eyes, "Try it."

Xing'er let out a wow, and clapped her little hands: "Mother is so amazing!"

Lin Zhi didn't bother to correct this address, so he smiled and patted his head.

Jiang Chuting glanced at it, probably because the noodles were not reconciled, the noodles were broken after cooking, and the green vegetables and diced green onions were added, and a layer of oily flowers floated on the surface, which was not as horrible as imagined.

Lin Zhi observed his reaction, his face was filled with urgency and anticipation, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes.

Jiang Chuting was stared into silence for a moment, and said politely: "Thank you." Picking up the chopsticks, he tasted one first, and then picked another one for Xing'er to eat.Apart from the taste being a bit bland, it's not unpalatable.

Xing'er gave Lin Zhi face very much, and ate with great relish.

Lin Zhi was delighted, although he knew that the reason why Chu Ting moved his chopsticks was probably just to avoid wasting food.

It was late at night, Wei Jia and Xing'er both fell asleep one after another, Jiang Chuting stood outside the house, bathed in the moonlight, rubbing a green ring-shaped jade pendant with his right hand, lost in thought.

There were footsteps approaching behind him, Jiang Chuting only glanced at it with the end of his eyes, and put the jade pendant into his arms without turning around to look.

In the silence of the night, Zhixian Lin said: "Chuting, I remember you said that you came to me to solve a problem." Zhizhi Lin said every word very lightly and carefully, as if if he sensed that he was angry, Just stop talking immediately.

Jiang Chuting didn't respond, so he continued: "Can you tell me, is this matter resolved?"

Lin Zhi didn't expect Jiang Chuting to answer, but he didn't expect to hear his answer.

"No."

Lin Zhi was overjoyed, and then asked: "Then... when will it be resolved?"

Jiang Chuting turned his head to look at him, then said softly, "I don't know, it depends on the situation."

"Is it important? Can you tell me and let me help you?"

Jiang Chuting withdrew his gaze, his eyes scattered in the air, and said, "No need."

At this point, Lin Zhi consciously stopped talking about this topic.

Just when he thought tonight's conversation was over like this, Jiang Chuting suddenly asked him: "Lin Zhi, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

"Me? I haven't thought about it." Lin Zhi felt a little flustered when he asked this question, kicked a small stone under his foot, forced a smile and said, "Anyway, I will be where you are."

Jiang Chuting paused, and said, "You should have thought about it.

Lin Zhi quickly answered, "There's nothing to think about, either stay with you or die."

Jiang Chuting stood quietly for a moment, closed his eyes and said: "There is only one life, you decide whether you live or die in the future." After saying that, he turned and went back to the room.

Lin Zhi stared at his back in ecstasy, half understanding what he said, confused.

Is it true that Chuting is going to separate from him after finishing the matter as he thought?What should he do?

Two days later, they arrived in Jiaxing City, where the folk customs are open, and the girls are bold and enthusiastic. Jiang Chuting and Lin Zhixing are outstanding. Walking on the road, the girls who came towards them threw several silk handkerchiefs on their bodies to express their admiration. It means that Wei Jia also has a share.

They covered their mouths and snickered and ran away, Lin Zhi snatched the silk handkerchief from Jiang Chuting's hand with a dark face, and crumpled into a ball angrily.

Jiang Chuting only glanced at him and continued walking.

Lin Zhi was a little taken aback by the look, and stopped his movements.That's right, he is not Chuting at all now, how can he have the qualifications and stand to eat this kind of vinegar?

Lin Zhi felt resentful, and quickened his pace to keep up with him.

In a courtyard in the east of Jiaxing City, Lin Xi was furious at Hong Yufei who was kneeling in front of him: "You still dare to stop me, I will kill you with one knife, believe it or not?!"

Hong Yufei's face was pale, and she insisted: "Patriarch, there are people chasing us everywhere outside now, you can't show your face."

"I can't show up, so you lock me in the house all day long and can't go anywhere?? Do you think I'm a prisoner?" Lin Xi was so angry that her eyes were red, pointing at her, "Hong Yufei, who do you think you are?" Ah? You are just Lin Xuan's dog, dog! What right do you have to interfere with my freedom?"

Hong Yufei had already suffered countless similar scoldings along the way, her eyes were numb, and she said in a low voice: "If you want to die, you will have no freedom."

Lin Xiyang slapped her hard: "You still talk back?!"

There was a slap mark on Hong Yufei's face, she closed her eyes and said, "If you get angry, please stay there, I'll go out and find out about the situation."

Lin Xi laughed sarcastically and said, "What else is there to inquire about? This is retribution. The Lin family is over, completely over. This is your retribution for killing Zi Que! Lin Xuan's great ideal is about to come to an end... Ha Ha ha!"

Hong Yufei raised her face, looked at her with a frown and said, "Patriarch, you are from the Lin family, the daughter of the old patriarch, how could you..."

Lin Xi's face turned gloomy for a moment, and she interrupted him with a growl: "I am the Lin family? I am her daughter? When you killed Zi Que, why did no one think about who I am?! You have lied to me for nearly 20 years, and I Still foolishly listening to her words and helping her fulfill her so-called last wish, she is a vicious and disgusting woman! The hatred of killing her husband is irreconcilable, why should I still read her?! Now everything in the Lin family is in vain, I am happy It's too late! I just want her to have no peace under the Nine Springs!"

Hong Yufei took a deep breath and had nothing to say to her.

Ever since Lin Xi knew the real cause of Yun Zique's death, she really went crazy. She didn't care about the Lin family's affairs before, but now she completely stays out of it, and deeply hopes that everything in the Lin family can be destroyed quickly.

Just for a man.

When Lin Xuan was alive, he probably never thought that such a day would come.

Lin Xi grabbed her collar: "You don't care about anything now, you just need to find Lin Zhi. If I want to leave, I will take him with me!"

For Lin Xi, Lin Zhi was the only one who was still awake in his mind.She wants to take Lin Zhiyuan overseas to another country.Even if she died, she would not allow Lin Zhi to get involved with that man again!

It was getting dark, and Lin Xifan didn't eat, she wandered around the room a few times talking to herself, and sat by the bed with a dark square box in her arms.

Slender fingers caressed the box, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "In the future, I will definitely protect you."

It was unrealistic to bring a coffin with him on the way to escape, so Lin Xi could only reluctantly cremate Zi Que's bones, and now the box contained his ashes.It is also Lin Xi's spiritual support, and he will hug and talk for a while before going to bed every day.

Putting the box beside the pillow as usual, Lin Xi fell asleep in a daze.

Until she was awakened by the sound of swords clashing, Lin Xi sat up in shock and found that Hong Yufei was fighting with a man in black in the room.

Subconsciously, Lin Xi wanted to hug the box and shrink into the bed, but when she stretched out her hand, she found it was empty.

The box is gone.

It was held by the man in black.

Lin Xi immediately rushed out of bed desperately, trying to grab the things, Hong Yufei was startled and furious: "Get out of here!"

"Give it back to me, you give me back Zique!" Lin Xi didn't listen at all, ignored her obstruction, and rushed straight between the two.

In the chaos, a burst of thick white smoke rose from the room, and Hong Yufei hurriedly grabbed Lin Xi and retreated.As the white smoke subsided, the man in black disappeared.

Lin Xi hugged her head and screamed, as if her soul had been sucked away, her body softened, and she fell to the ground: "Zi Que, Zi Que...Zi Que is gone..." When she closed her eyes, she passed out like this up.

……

The man in black flew all the way to the outskirts of the city with the box, and stood by a rushing river.

He looked hesitantly, thought of something after a long time, still let out a low sigh, opened the wooden box, and sprinkled the ashes inside into the water.

The river was swift and carried away the ashes, and soon there was nothing left.

The man in black was muttering something, with his right hand erected in front of his chest, he bowed several times in the direction of the rushing river, and then flew away.

He returned to a secluded courtyard in the city, strode in and took off his mask. He saw a young and handsome face, only seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear eyes.

In the courtyard, there was a boy about his age who was guarding a young man in a wheelchair beside him.

The man was only 25 or [-] years old, and he was wearing a dark blue dark-striped wide-sleeved shirt. Under the night, the material had a soft luster like deep-sea pearls, giving it a low-key luxury.He had a straight nose, a pale and handsome face, and a pair of narrow, beautiful black eyes that were lonely and cold. When Yuan Xia came in, his expression didn't show any fluctuations, he just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him.

Yuan Xia said: "My lord, the matter is settled."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Lu Zhao whispered, his expression was very calm, but Yuan Sang beside him said angrily: "Hmph, this is just the beginning. The Lin family members are all very bad. Dude, how many people on our island have been killed! They should all be crushed!"

He still had to say, but was stopped by the always good-tempered Yuan Xia: "Okay, don't say it."

Yuan Sang was startled by him, and his eyes widened: "Why so loud? It scared me to death."

Yuan Xia immediately softened his tone and said, "I mean it's getting late, take the lord back to the room to rest."

"Oh."

"No, I'll do it myself." Lu Zhao turned the wheelchair in one direction by himself, and a red string was tied on his right wrist on the roller, which made his complexion fairer.In a low voice, he said to the two people beside him: "After a day of exhaustion, you all should go back and rest."

Yuan Xia and Yuan Sang watched his leaving figure together.

Yuan Sang lifted his chin and said, "Shouldn't you be very happy to be the lord of Penglai Island, the only noble person chosen by heaven in the past 200 years, all the islanders must submit to him, if it were me, I You can wake up with a smile in your dreams. But why have you never seen him smile? Why do you think this is?"

Yuan Xia glanced at him, and then said: "Who said you have to laugh to be a human being? You don't have to laugh if you don't want to laugh."

"I always feel that he is not happy at all." Yuan Sang was still immersed in his own thoughts: "He has been wearing a marriage rope, he must want to get married, but I haven't seen him eager to anyone on the island... ..." Yuan Sang pushed Yuan Xi's arm and said: "Why don't we find him here, lest he always look deserted and lonely. But it has to pass our test, lest we meet again A vicious woman like the Lin family. Hmph!"

Yuan Xia couldn't help but said: "Take care of yourself first, and just make fewer mistakes."

They lived on the island for a long time and were completely isolated from the outside world. They didn't understand anything when they came out this time. If it weren't for Lu Zhao, they would make people laugh to death with their jokes.Under Lu Zhao's patient guidance, they changed into clothes without ethnic totems to hide their identities, learned to exchange pearl spirit grass for money to buy things, and learned to integrate into the outside world and communicate with people normally. .

Yuan Sang has always been very strange, also the first time he came out of the island, the Venerable Lord is better than them and knows more, Xin Dao is indeed the one chosen by the gods.

"Did I say the wrong thing? When did I say the wrong thing?" Yuan Sang yelled unconvinced, and then asked after thinking of something: "Whose ashes did you steal today? Lin Xuan's? Why didn't you bring it back and let me sprinkle it out too?" Out of anger? Oh no, the Lin family is around here? Why don't you kill them together? You, hey, don't go, you haven't answered my question..."

Yuan Xia really didn't want to talk to him, covered his ears and went back to his room.

Yuan Xia, as the most gifted young man of his generation on Penglai Island, has superb martial arts and a very kind heart.One day when I was out shopping, I saw several men chasing a crying woman and almost took her away.Seeing him repeatedly begging him for help, the woman said that she was robbed by bullies, so Yuan Xia naturally couldn't ignore it, so she beat them up and taught them a lesson, and saved the woman.The woman was grateful to Dade and fled in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished shopping, trouble would come to my door.

He was surrounded by about twenty men armed with long sticks, looking menacing.The leader was the one who had been taught by Yuan Xia, and he roared angrily, "That's him! Give it to me!"

People passing by stalls on the long street saw that the situation was not right, and they all fled to avoid it.Yuan Xia only had the freshly bought cakes in his hands, without any weapons. Standing in the middle of the crowd, he slightly raised his voice and said, "Is there any reason for you to rob women? I won't fight you, I'm in a hurry."

He came out to buy food, Yuan Sang and the others were still waiting.

But who would listen to him, more than 20 people held sticks and threw them at him ferociously.

It was absolutely fine for Yuan Xia to beat them, but the Lord said that no one should be killed, so he has been paying attention to propriety, and has not used heavy hands, just thinking about getting rid of them, for fear of getting into trouble.

But these people were so rampant that they beat him to death. Yuan Xia was entangled by them, unable to dodge, was hit on the head with a sap, and staggered back a few steps while dizzy.

The unstable body was caught off guard and crashed into a solid and powerful arm.

Someone held him up, and knocked back those who wanted to continue besieging, and the stick with thick arms was easily taken away.

His moves were fast and accurate, with ease, those people couldn't get close immediately.Yuan Xia was surprised, and turned to look at the person who helped him. He was a very good-looking young man with black hair like ink and elegant eyes.

He hurriedly said: "Thank you, young master."

Jiang Chuting had brought Xing'er and Wei Jia downstairs to have breakfast, but when he heard the commotion outside, he came out to take a look, and then bumped into this scene.

Jiang Chuting asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Yuan Xia immediately explained clearly in a few words: "They robbed the women of the people, but I stopped them, and now they are coming down to take revenge."

Jiang Chuting understood, and handed him over to Wei Jia to help him aside.

Then Yuan Xia saw that he didn't even have a sword, his hands were neat and unrestrained, his clothes were as graceful as a fairy, and he didn't see how hard he was, he cleaned up all these hooligans/hooligans in three or two strokes. .

The people who were hiding from the crowd couldn't help applauding.

Knowing that they met a ruthless character, these bullies didn't dare to put another fart, and they walked away.

The blood on Yuan Xia's head flowed into his eyes, making him very uncomfortable.Jiang Chuting then took him back to the inn, let him wash with water, and then applied medicine to his wound.

Jiang Chuting warned: "Don't touch water to the wound for the next two days."

Yuan Xia nodded, grateful to him: "Thank you for your help, young master, I will remember everything you said."

Since leaving the island, he has seen all kinds of people, both good and bad, but this is the first time he has met someone like Jiang Chuting who seems to exude gentleness in every strand of his hair. He can feel it just by being with him for a while. To the warmth like a spring breeze.

Jiang Chuting put away the medicine bottle and looked at him for a while. The child looked about the same age as Lin Zhi. He looked calm, but his eyes were clear and innocent. After thinking about it, he smiled and asked, "Can you tell me?" Me, your martial arts moves are actually very powerful, why don't you use them?"

Yuan Xia was not surprised to be spotted by him, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Zun...my master ordered us not to cause trouble. I'm afraid I can't control it and accidentally kill someone, so I just..."

Jiang Chuting nodded: "I see."

They chatted happily here, Lin Zhi sat and watched with Xing'er in his arms, his mouth was flattened, his whole body was almost drowned in vinegar.

Lin Zhi was no stranger to Jiang Chuting's ability to save people, so he took Xing'er and waited at the door of the inn, thinking that after he solved it, they could have dinner together.

Who knows... bringing it in is bandaging and chatting, and he can't have the slightest opinion, he can only swallow bitterness in his heart.

It's still going on there.

"My lord, you can call me Yuan Xia."

"Your surname is Yuan?"

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chuting smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this surname is rare."

Yuan Xia said, "Isn't it rare? Many people in my hometown have this surname."

After Yuan Xia finished speaking, he suddenly stood up from the stool and said, "I have to go, the master is still waiting for me."

Jiang Chuting stood up, and Yuan Xia said again: "We will temporarily live in the nearby Jinse Courtyard, and you can come and see us when you are free. I have something to do, so I will leave first."

Yuan Xia left in a hurry, but after a while, Jiang Chuting saw Yuan Xia's bulging money bag on the stool.

Open it and see that it is full of top-grade pearls and gems.If it is converted into silver, it is not a small amount.

Jiang Chuting immediately took it up and chased it, wanting to return it to him, but he didn't see him at all. After this chase, he went directly to the Jinse Bieyuan that Yuan Xia said.

Jiang Chuting stepped up the stairs and reached out to knock on the door.

Not long after, someone came to open the door, but the person who came was not Yuan Xia, but a handsome young man with rounder eyes and fairer skin.

He only opened the door with a gap of one person's width, and his face was full of vigilance: "Who are you looking for?"

"Yuan Xia." Jiang Chuting handed him the purse, succinctly said, "Just now I helped him bandage his wound, and his purse fell."

Seeing that it was indeed Yuan Xia's, Yuan Sang reached out to pick it up subconsciously. Jiang Chuting nodded and said, "Farewell."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yuan Sang finally came to his senses, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a more polite tone than before: "Wait, don't leave, come in and have a cup of tea!"

Jiang Chuting politely declined: "Thank you, but I won't go in and disturb you."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Yuan Sang had already heard Yuan Xia roughly talk about what happened just now, and knew that Jiang Chuting was the good man who helped him, so he immediately grabbed him: "Come in and sit down, or I'll trouble you to run , We are so sorry."

"I……"

"Come on, come on."

The hospitality was hard to turn down, so Jiang Chuting had no choice but to follow him in.

"Young master, you can just call me Yuan Sang. The master is afraid that something will happen to Yuan Xia's head injury, so he sent him to see a doctor, so I will entertain you. Don't be disgusted."

After arriving at the flower hall, Yuan Sang served him tea, and Jiang Chuting lifted the lid of the cup. There were a few green leaves in the tea, which were fragrant, but they didn't look like tea leaves.

Yuan Sang laughed and said, "This is called Qingerye, don't worry drink it, it's good for your health."

The people on their island live a long life, and they are not all gods as the outside world says. The most fundamental reason is that men, women, and children drink this brewed tea as water, which has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.This kind of thing can only grow out of their spiritual soil on Penglai Island.

Jiang Chuting smiled, took a sip, it was sweet and refreshing, very unique.

Yuan Sang stared at him and said: "Young Master, do you like it? If you like it, I'll make some for you to take home and drink."

He was so enthusiastic, Jiang Chuting hurriedly said: "No need."

Yuan Sang suddenly frowned and asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Is it not good?"

"It's delicious, but..."

Yuan Sang laughed again immediately: "It's good if you like it, young master, please wait a moment, I will come right away."

Without waiting for him to refuse after speaking, he ran away in a hurry, Jiang Chuting was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Sang didn't come back after a long time, Jiang Chuting wanted to leave, Xing'er and the others were still staying in the inn, he came out just to return the things, he didn't expect to chase here and delay for so long.

He had concerns in his heart, but it seemed inappropriate to say goodbye like this.

There was no servant nearby to help pass the message, so he just stood up and walked out of the flower hall, trying to find someone first.

After walking a certain distance, I suddenly heard two soft coughs from a man coming from a room.

are you sick?Jiang Chuting thought for a while, then took a few steps forward, facing the closed door, said in a very soft voice, "Excuse me, I'm here to deliver something to your residence, thanks..."

With a bang, the crisp sound of the teacup falling to the ground and smashing suddenly came from inside, interrupting Jiang Chuting's words.

Before Jiang Chuting could respond, Yuan Sang suddenly walked around from the corridor on the right, and was surprised to see him appearing at the door of Lu Zhao's room.

"Young master, why are you here?"

Jiang Chuting briefly explained to him, and Yuan Sang quickly handed him the wrapped things, not daring to delay his time, and said, "Then I'll take you out."

Before leaving, Jiang Chuting couldn't help but glance back at the still closed door.

He has good hearing, and he heard the trembling breath of the person inside.

Jiang Chuting faintly felt a little weird, but he didn't think too much about it, and left at a quicker pace.
