Chapter 51: The Howling Wind of Sorrow
The grave was dug overnight and the body was buried overnight.
It rained in the mountains and the ground was very muddy. She knelt in the rain and used a knife to carve "Tomb of My Loving Father Yi Bingfeng" on the tombstone bit by bit.
Jiaoran was completely immersed in the fog.
She suddenly began to doubt why she was living and who she was.
She has no father or mother, and her mother and father are the people she loves most in this world. But now she has been betrayed by the people she loves most, and her mother wants to kill her. In her mother's heart, perhaps she is just a pawn.
She regretted taking on this task. If she had not gone to the Governor's Mansion in the beginning, if she had not met Mu Jin in the beginning, if -
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Who should she hate?
A Niang killed A Dad. She hated A Niang's ruthlessness towards her, and hated her cruelty towards A Dad even more. Should she kill A Niang? How could she do this? Killing the mother who had raised her for more than ten years with her own hands, even an animal would not do it.
How her sword pointed at the man who had raised her in his arms and big hands.
She chased after her to feed her, scolded her not to eat anything carelessly, and would hug her to sleep when it thundered at night. She rested her head on her arm and smelled the mother's scent on her body, a smell that made her feel that she would no longer be afraid even if she died.
She was so weak. She had killed her father! As a daughter, how could she face him? She wanted to avenge her father.
The complicated and misplaced grudges instantly became a sharp blade piercing her heart. No matter which direction she pulled the knife, she was in endless pain.
Just now, she fought against hundreds of people alone, carrying her father's body on her back. Zhu Su said that her ability came from the wonderful realm of fish and dragons, a place far beyond the mundane world, so she was asked to reduce the killing as much as possible. She hit them with the back of the knife, but did not kill or injure many people.
Now that the battle had subsided, she felt a tightness in her chest and a feeling of vomiting.
Perhaps it was because she was overwhelmed with grief and anger, and was almost exhausted, which was beyond her body's endurance.
She wanted to hate her mother and kill her.
The scene of her killing her father with a knife in the back was clearly engraved in her mind.
But now, she was even more disappointed with herself because she realized that she could not kill her mother.
In this world, she only has her mother as a relative.
She looked up at the sky in confusion, the rain soaking her clothes and face.
How should she go on the road ahead?
"Where should I go?" The drizzle rustled all around, and sadness was immersed in the endless night and foothills.
Her heart was as cold as the rain.
After going through so much trouble to get back home, she thought her mother would be overjoyed to see her and her father would listen to her complaints. But now, when her mother saw her... it was ridiculous. She actually wanted them to kill her. As for her father, he became a corpse and could no longer listen to her complain about the troubles of a little girl.
The man who had once troubled her, tortured her and made her unable to sleep well every night, and made her heart beat fast, was her mother's biological child.
She didn't know who to blame for a moment.
Blame Mu Jin? He took away A Niang's care and protection for her.
Blame her mother? For more than ten years, she never treated her as a daughter.
She felt more sad than hateful.
Sadly, her entire life has been a joke.
The night is dark.
Yuan Jianlu bandaged Mei Wan'er's wound and burned some firewood to keep her warm.
Mei Wan'er's face was red just now, but when the damp firewood started burning, the thick smoke choked her so much that she lost even her shy expression.
"Put on your clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."
Mei Wan'er covered her mouth and nose, "Can't you find some dry firewood?"
"Miss, do you think I can find it just by looking for it?"
"Forget it, let's go call Jiaoran. She must be soaked." Mei Wan'er looked at the night sky worriedly.
As he was speaking, a series of low cries were heard in the vast night. The cries were full of grievance and sadness, helplessness and despair, and those who heard them burst into tears.
Mei Wan'er stood up and said, "Go and comfort her. She has been crying intermittently for so long. My wound is too deep. I can't see the rain after cleaning it."
Yuan Jianlu said he wouldn't go. "How could he cry himself to death? I've never seen anyone cry themselves to death."
Mei Wan'er tutted her words and said dissatisfiedly, "How can you be so cruel?"
"I'm cruel? I'm cruel?" Yuan Jianlu pointed at his nose. "If I were really cruel, I would have just ignored everything and just slipped away."
Deep in the caverns lay Bu Yue and Xu Mengchou, seemingly arguing over something. Yuan Jianlu became even more annoyed when he heard this. "One after another, no one is safe." During the chaos, the foreign woman had appeared to aid them, and Bu Yue had even cheered her on. That was the beginning of their internal strife.
Zhuxing was sleeping unconscious with serious injuries beside the fire. Mei Wan'er took off Yuan Jianlu's coat, folded it up and placed it behind her head, then checked her wound again.
"What are they arguing about? They just fought side by side, escaped from two groups of people, and even brought back a seriously injured and a dead man. Isn't that a good coordination? Why are they arguing now?"
Mei Wan'er shook her head, "Who knows."
Yuan Jianlu glanced at the unconscious woman and said, "I'm afraid it's because of her. Her name is Zhuxing."
Mei Wan'er asked him to come closer. "From what I see, that woman is interested in Jiaoran's senior brother, but Jiaoran's senior brother, the one called Bu Yue, has a special liking for this woman."
Yuan Jianlu couldn't help but praise her, "You do have some accomplishments in matters of men and women. It's a pity that if you put this skill into practice, it would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."
Mei Wan'er became angry when she heard this, and immediately hugged her injured arm and stopped talking.
The two people were arguing louder and louder, and apart from their names, nothing else could be understood.
"What do you think that is? It's not something a Central Plains person would say."
Mei Wan'er was still angry, "Who knows?"
"It sounds like Nanzhao, what do you think?"
Mei Wan'er asked, "Oh, you can understand Nanzhao language?"
"Could it be that they are also thinking about how to find that rare secret book?"
Mei Wan'er snorted, "If there really was a secret technique, they would have practiced it long ago. Look at that old monster tonight, he can only survive by sucking human blood. If Gao Shanshou had some method of immortality, how could he have waited until now without practicing it?"
Yuan Jianlu's eyes lit up, "How clever! I just realized that you are really shrewd. In other words, the secret book is still not in Huiyingmen's hands."
"I didn't say that. It's all speculation."
"At least your reasoning is quite reasonable. When we caused trouble that day, it turned out to be a complete failure. We didn't steal anything, and many of our allies were captured."
Mei Wan'er sighed, "If there really were some secret manual of immortality or peerless magical skills, it wouldn't be the place for a lowly disciple like us."
"Who is it?"
A figure flashed out as Jiaoran roared.
It can be seen that his lightness skills are not bad and he is a first-class master. He has been hiding until now, and Jiaoran just discovered his whereabouts.
Seeing that it was Chai Che, Jiaoran slowly stood up. She had an idea and realized that she and Chai Che had no friendship or grudges with each other, so there was no need for him to try to get any information from her. Chai Hui's appearance in Huiying Inn meant that the people in the Chai family had already known that Mu Jin was hiding there.
Jiaoran sneered, "Second Young Master Chai is in such a good mood, hiding here to listen to a woman crying?" She was in a very bad mood at the moment. When she saw Chai Che, she couldn't help but get angry. Moreover, when she wanted to take her father away just now, Chai Hui tried to stop her and pulled her onto the horse.
No one in the Chai family is normal. Even Mu Jin has become so dirty and despicable after staying there for a long time.
Just as she opened her mouth, a sharp wind blew towards her.
In the drizzle of the night, there is a gust of wind, the sound of the wind is sharp and fierce.
The direction of the attack was even more domineering, heading straight for Jiaoran's vital point.
