During this period of time, Ma Fuquan and his men have been searching for Feng Qingzi's hiding place. This manor outside the city was previously guarded by yamen runners in shifts every day. It was only in the past two days that Ma Fuquan withdrew all the manors in order to set a trap for Feng Qingzi and see if he would return to this place in the dark so that he could catch him in one fell swoop!
Even if Jian Ning had not used the submachine gun in the armory before, he would have brought people to the manor to take a look that night. After Jian Ning used the submachine gun and did not bother to reply to his message, he immediately led people out of the city with Captain Guan. Halfway through, he heard the sound of submachine guns and rushed over.
Ma Fuquan and his companions rushed to the backyard and saw Blind Liu and Luo Junxian, who was beaten to a pulp. He was about to go up to Blind Liu and ask him something when Jian Ning came out with an energy-saving lamp and stopped him, "Don't disturb Uncle Liu. He's injured and needs to recuperate for a while."
"You're injured too? Are you okay?" Ma Fuquan saw blood on her chest and stepped towards her. "What's going on? Aren't you taking your weapons?"
Jian Ning pointed towards the front yard and said, "Let's go over there and talk in detail."
Ding Youtian was receiving an IV drip. She didn't want Captain Guan and his runners to see her, so she led everyone to the east room in the front yard. She told them, "We originally came in to rest and use the restroom, but we didn't expect Feng Qingzi to come back and beat up Uncle Liu. He also accidentally injured me, but fortunately I managed to kill him. You can just take the body away and the matter will be over."
Ma Fuquan knew that what she said was not true, and also knew that she was avoiding Captain Guan and the others, so he nodded cooperatively and ordered his constables to carry out Luo Junxian's body, preparing to ask her the truth through the electronic screen later.
"Have you found that child?" Jian Ning thought about how Feng Qingzi had taken away his body and how his soul almost dissipated. He couldn't help but think of the boy whose body was also occupied by Feng Qingzi.
"Not yet." Ma Fuquan said, "The county government office caught fire that night, and then someone broke into the prison. The next day, Feng Qingzi's body was also stolen. Although the news was suppressed, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Perhaps fearing retaliation, several families moved out of the county the next day and their whereabouts are unknown. We have asked the rest, and none of them are the ones we are looking for."
Jian Ning was worried about Ding Youtian who was still receiving an IV drip. He disregarded his own safety and stepped forward to protect Xiu Gu's body, which was equivalent to protecting her.
She did not forget that while he was worried about Xiu Gu's physical safety, he was looking for her soul everywhere.
If he hadn't stepped forward to block the sword, she would be the one lying on the kitchen chopping board receiving treatment.
"If you can't find him, then don't look for him for now. Feng Qingzi has been reduced to ashes and will never be able to harm anyone again. Hanging Luo Junxian's body on the city gate tomorrow will also appease the people. Maybe the relatives of those children will see it and tell their parents, and they may move back in the future. Let's just leave it at that for now."
Jian Ning looked tired. She glanced at Ma Fuquan, who understood and said, "Okay, if you're all right, we'll leave. I'll take a day off tomorrow and go back early."
"Wait, something's up." Jian Ning said, "I almost forgot. When you come back tomorrow, just bring Lao Liu with you. Have him go straight to my place. I need to talk to him about something."
"No problem, I will definitely bring the person back to you."
"Mrs. Jian, are you sure you don't need to go to the city with us to see a doctor?" Captain Guan asked out of concern when he saw that she looked unwell.
"She is a doctor herself. She saved my life from the brink of death." Ma Fuquan smiled and said, "Call the brothers, let's go."
In the backyard, Blind Liu was still sitting on the ground meditating and regulating his breathing. After Jian Ning sent Ma Fuquan and the others away and came to the backyard, she saw white mist rising from his head. She couldn't help but think of the golden light bursting out from Ding Youtian's body.
Ding Youtian is just a weak man who can't even tie a chicken. Why can't Feng Qingzi possess his body? Even if she turns into a ghost, she can't get close to him.
What is the reason for this?
She couldn't figure it out!
Back in the kitchen, Jian Ning saw that Ding Youtian looked better than before, but he still hadn't woken up. Perhaps it was because he hadn't been doing farm work during this time, and she had been secretly treating him with a mixture of distiller's grains and medicinal food. Blind Liu also understood pharmacology, so it's possible he had also treated him before. Looking at him now under the lamplight, his eyebrows were like ink, his face was like the Mid-Autumn Moon, and he seemed even more handsome than when Jian Ning first met him.
She couldn't help but stare blankly...
She didn't come to her senses until she heard his mumbling in her ears. He frowned and kept shouting, "My lady, don't go, don't go..."
In the past, Jian Ning hated hearing him call her "wife", but now when she heard him calling her "wife", she felt inexplicably sweet in her heart. However, when she remembered that he was calling Xiu Gu instead of her, she felt a little lost.
After a while, she saw sweat on his forehead and took out a handkerchief.
"Wake up, wake up quickly, can you hear me?" Jane Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. It seemed that he had a nightmare. She didn't notice that her voice was much softer when she called him.
"My wife!" Ding Youtian suddenly sat up, then fell down again holding his chest. Jian Ning was startled by him and hurriedly bent over to check his chest injury.
"Be careful, don't move around, and it'll take a few days to heal."
Ding Youtian was obviously stunned for a moment, then she realized that her tone was too intimate, so she lowered her eyelashes and changed the subject.
"But I dreamed about your wife," she asked him.
"Um."
"I dreamt about her...what did she say?"
Ding Youtian thought carefully. The dream was still in his mind when he woke up, but he had forgotten it completely in the blink of an eye.
"I can't remember. I forgot it all at once." He said, then looked at Jian Ning, staring at her intently, and suddenly said, "That's great."
"What's so good?" Jane Ning's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"It's great that the girl is back again."
girl?
Why did she dislike listening to his gossip about girls? Jane Ning's face darkened and she was about to say something when Blind Liu came in with his tattered Pingjin sail.
"Master, are you okay?" Ding Youtian turned his head to look at him, "Where's that evil guy? I seemed to hear him call Master..."
"Shut up!" Blind Liu interrupted him. "You have so little confidence in this old blind man? You have to wait for him to take a sword blow, don't you? How about it? Does it feel so cold all over?"
Ding Youtian forced a laugh: "You stinking blind man! You can even reach the sky, but you won't teach your son... You, you are so secretive, you are not worthy of being a teacher."
"Did I hide anything? Did I give you the booklet? Can you tell what's going on?"
"Well..." Ding Youtian turned to look at Jian Ning, "I don't understand the booklet. My wife can see the Taoist priest moving in it. Why don't you teach me..."
Jian Ning glared at him and interrupted him, "Uncle Liu knows I'm not your wife, so stop talking nonsense."
Blind Liu chuckled and said, "I only know that you are not Xiu Gu, but I don't know if you are his wife. I can't say for sure, and I dare not say anything."
Jane Ning's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head, like a heavy ear of wheat.
