While sending Wanfu to the village, Yiyami went to see the progress of the workshop. The workers in the workshop worked very quickly and were working overtime very attentively.
Yi Yami nodded and explained to Old Lady Yi. Old Lady Yi also felt sorry for Wanfu and said that the child's coming could serve as a companion for her.
Wanfu stayed in the Yi family's yard.
…
A few days later, Gu Beijian had nothing to do, so he invited Yang Zeju, Yi Yami and the other two to go to Lvjia Village to see how the workshop was being built.
It was fine when I left, but when I came back, there was a strong wind and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily.
The three of them took shelter from the rain in a dilapidated temple.
"Oh my, what a horrible weather! It was cloudless when we went out, but why is it suddenly stormy?" Yang Zeju said as he patted the rain off his body.
"That's right." Fortunately, Yiyami had a flint with him. He used the straw in the ruined temple to light a fire, and then several people felt a little warmer.
At this time, five or six beggar-looking people rushed in. When they saw them, they pretended to be stunned, and then began to get close to them. "Where are you from and where are you going?" asked a dark-skinned man in the lead.
"It's raining heavily, let's take a break. I'm sorry if I occupied your territory." Yiyami said.
"Is the carriage at the door yours?" asked the leading man in black.
"It's ours. What can we do for you?" Gu Beijian spoke at this time.
Gu Beijian felt that these people came with ill intentions.
"Who is Gu Beijian?" asked the dark-skinned man.
"Brother, stop talking nonsense and kill them all. Don't worry about who Gu Beijian is..." said another tall and thin man.
"Even murder needs to be confirmed, right?" the dark-skinned man said unhappily.
When Gu Beijian heard that these people were coming to kill him, he became amused.
"I'm so scared. Can you tell me which hero wants to kill me?" Gu Beijian said in a mean way.
Yi Yami silently picked up the fire stick on the ground, and Yang Zeju also picked up a thick piece of firewood.
"You don't need to know who it is. It's someone you've offended!" The dark-skinned man replied, "Give me your life!"
The next second, the knife went straight towards Gu Beijian's face.
Tian Qing blocked the knife with a sword. Not sure who sent the other party, he said, "Master, you go first. I will cover you."
"I leave it to you, Tianqing, Yiyami, Brother Yang, let's run!" Gu Beijian pretended to be in a panic.
Yi Yami was puzzled. Why didn't he just beat them down? What was going on?
I saw a knife slashing towards Yi Yami, and Gu Beijian pulled her away. "What are you daydreaming about? Is this the time to be daydreaming? Run!"
The three of them took shelter around the pillars of the ruined temple.
While dodging, Yiyami's bronze shovel hairpin fell into the pile of straw on the ground, but she didn't notice it.
Tianqing quickly dealt with the killer and only suffered minor injuries.
The dark-skinned man was injured and escaped.
Tian Qing was about to chase him, but Gu Beijian stopped him and said, "Who knows if this will be the last time the men in black will come."
Tianqing took the order. The few of them looked at the corpses all over the ground, felt it was unlucky, and quickly left the dilapidated temple.
As they walked out of the ruined temple, Tian Qing quickly searched for their bodies and any important information...
Back in town, everyone went back to their own homes. On the way, Yi Yami and the others had helped Gu Beijian figure out who might have done it. Since Gu Beijian had offended many people, he didn't know who had sent them. So he decided to let it go for now and let the county magistrate investigate.
Gu Beijian followed Yi Yami back to the shop, and Yi Yami went back to the backyard to freshen up.
Yi Yami touched her hairpin as usual, but she couldn't find it, it was empty.
Yi Yami's face suddenly turned pale. With trembling hands, she felt around her head again, trying to confirm that the hairpin was gone. Her heartbeat quickened, and countless possible scenarios flashed through her mind—the hairpin might have fallen in the dilapidated temple, or it might have fallen just as she was about to mount her horse.
"My hairpin...is missing." Yiyami's voice was filled with anxiety that was hard to conceal.
"What hairpin? Are you talking about that ugly bronze shovel hairpin of yours?" Gu Beijian, who was sitting in the room, glanced at her head.
Yi Yami nodded.
"Don't worry, we'll go get it back together." Gu Beijian said firmly.
The two quickly discussed the plan and decided to return to the previous route and search every corner carefully.
"Why can't I find it?" Yiyami searched for a long time.
"If it really doesn't work, then forget it." Gu Beijian said.
"No, that hairpin is very important to me!" Yiyami refused.
"Forget it, we really can't find it. Let's stop here today. You go back first, and I'll send Tianqing and a few others to look for it along the way." Gu Beijian replied.
Yi Yami looked at the sky and had to give up.
"Then you must ask Tianqing and the others to help me find it!" Yi Yami said, holding Gu Beijian's hand.
Gu Beijian had never seen her so panicked before, so he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find it back for you!"
Yi Yami nodded.
…
At Wang Deli's home, a dark-skinned man was handing a hairpin to Wang Deli.
"I want Gu Beijian's head, why do I need a hairpin?" Wang Deli said a little angrily.
"I'm sorry, our mission failed. The man next to Gu Beijian is very skilled in martial arts and we can't beat him. I think this hairpin is very valuable, so I picked it up from the ground. It may help to ease your loss a little." The dark-skinned man rubbed his hands helplessly.
"Didn't you say that you never fail when killing people?" Wang Deli took the hairpin and took a look at it. He felt that it looked familiar. Later he remembered that he had seen it on Yiyami's head.
"We've never failed before, but the people we killed before were ordinary people who had no chance to fight back. This time, it was because the bodyguards around Gu Beijian were too powerful..." the dark-skinned man explained. "And this time, we suffered heavy losses. Several of my brothers died..."
The dark-skinned man returned to the ruined temple, intending to take the emblems from his brothers, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find them. Apparently, someone had already taken their emblems away. He searched everywhere before finally finding the hairpin.
"Hurry up and deal with those bodies, otherwise you will ask me to deal with it again. You really are..." Wang Deli rolled his eyes impatiently.
"If you add some more money, I will find a few more brothers. This time I guarantee that the body will be dealt with properly. I don't believe that we can't catch Gu Beijian alone!" suggested the dark-skinned man.
Wang Deli thought carefully and said, "This is the last time. If you can't do it, you don't have to come back to report. I will give you half of the money first, and then I will give you the other half after you kill Gu Beijian."
The dark-skinned man felt bad for the man's stinginess, but thinking it was his own fault, he just endured it. "Okay, I'll kill him and come back to talk to you."
Wang Deli waved his hand and the dark-skinned man retreated.
