Chapter 54 I Really Don’t Care
"You and her have no grudge against each other, but you once suspected the relationship between her and me."
Qi Hanzhou said awkwardly.
He felt that he was really strange. He clearly hated Yun Fu's unreasonable behavior and temper before, but now, Yun Fu had no reaction when she heard the three words "Song Lingyun", and he felt uncomfortable again.
It was as if something was being lost, and he was eager to prove that he hadn't lost it yet.
"She and I are just brother and sister, there is no other relationship."
Before, no matter how Yun Fu made a fuss or asked questions, Qi Hanzhou was too lazy to explain to her.
Now, he wants to take the initiative to explain this matter.
Yun Fu, however, didn't care at all: "Oh, what's your relationship with her? I don't care. You don't need to explain so much to me. Why don't you tell me what the grudge is between you and the Fifth Prince?"
Comparing the relationship between Qi Hanzhou and Song Lingyun, Yun Fu wanted to know what kind of hatred he and Chu Qiyu had that made Chu Qiyu spare no expense and hire killers from the Shen Gui Men to hunt him down.
As the person who had protected him from the two little ghosts from the Ghost Gate, Yun Fu felt that she had the right to hear this story.
"I……"
Qi Hanzhou wanted to explain more, for example, Song Lingyun's brother was a good brother who had been through thick and thin with him.
He adopted Song Lingyun as his adopted sister so that his good brother could leave with peace of mind.
For example, the rumors circulating outside are all false, and he has never had any feelings for Song Lingyun.
But Qi Hanzhou could tell that Yun Fu really didn't care, so he stopped embarrassing himself.
"Chu Qiyu had molested Song Lingyun before, more than once. Song Lingyun came to me and begged me to save her..."
At the beginning, the Qi family was still the same Qi family, and he was still the high-spirited and righteous general - Qi Hanzhou.
He found Chu Qiyu and gave him a good beating.
"Something unexpected happened when we started working on it."
"What accident?" Yun Fu asked curiously, blinking her watery eyes.
This topic is much more interesting than whether they are siblings or not.
"I also heard it later. Chu Qiyu hurt the foundation of a man." After all, Chu Qiyu was the emperor's most beloved prince. No matter how angry Qi Hanzhou was, he could not destroy Chu Qiyu's life and turn the prince into a eunuch.
It was such an accident.
Yun Fu suddenly realized, "No wonder. You destroyed his lifeblood. He's such a petty person, so shouldn't he remember you for the rest of his life?"
Qi Hanzhou thought she would take the opportunity to mock him for the stupid things he had done for Song Lingyun, which had caused Chu Qiuyu such a big trouble.
But no.
From beginning to end, Yun Fu never took the initiative to mention the name Song Lingyun.
Only if you really don't care will you not even mention it.
Qi Hanzhou vaguely understood something in his heart.
——
The further northwest the team went, the more desolate the cities they passed through became.
The areas affected by the floods are not limited to the towns and villages along the Heisha River.
Instead, the waters in the entire northwest region have more or less suffered from flood disasters caused by heavy rains.
Areas that originally had little rainfall were hit by heavy rain and rainstorms one after another. Towns and small villages built near water bodies were completely unprepared to deal with floods, resulting in serious damage.
Along the way, Yun Fu and her companions encountered wave after wave of victims displaced by natural disasters.
If she can help, she will lend a hand.
But her power alone is really limited.
I can save one person, two people...
But it cannot save the endless waves of disaster victims.
The only way to survive was to let them go to the Black City.
"The Lord of Black City and the Third Young Master Cui of the Cui family are providing disaster relief. If you go over there, you might still have a chance of survival."
Some leave their hometowns to seek a living, while others are unwilling to leave their hometowns where they have lived for many years.
The small village that Yunfu and her friends passed by today was located on the riverside and there were still many villagers living there.
Because the bridge upstream was washed away by the flood, Jiang Cheng led people into the village to inquire whether there was any other bridge nearby that could cross the river.
Yun Fu stopped the carriage by the river bank to rest for a while.
Not long after they stopped, they heard strange noises coming from the river bank not far from them.
Yunfu couldn't hear clearly, but she heard the noisy sound of cowhide drums and the sound of incantations like "Mimimahong, Mimimahong..."
The three little kids were attracted by the movement over there.
Qi Nian lay on Yun Fu's knees, staring with her big black eyes and asked, "Sister Yun, what are those people doing for fun?"
Yun Fu gently hooked her arm and picked up the white, tender, pink and sticky little ball she had raised: "Come on, I'll take you to see it."
"Sister Yun, let's go too."
Qi Yu pulled Qi Mo along and followed.
Qi Hanzhou said nothing, but followed Yun Fu and the three little kids silently with his long legs.
Then I saw the open space on the shore.
Seventy or eighty villagers were kneeling.
Everyone knelt down towards the river.
By the river, a simple altar was built with wood.
There was an old woman standing on the altar. Her face was covered with messy patterns, there were several black feathers stuck in her head, and she was holding a cane with several white bones hanging on it.
At this moment, he was holding up his cane and chanting a spell towards the sky that Yun Fu could not understand.
And in the direction the old woman was facing, two adult men were carrying a child who was tied up.
Yun Fu frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling.
This situation doesn't look right.
"Qi Hanzhou, hold Xiao Nian'er for a moment. I'm going to take care of something."
"Yun Fu, what's wrong?" Qi Hanzhou took Qi Nian and asked.
Knowing that Qi Hanzhou couldn't see, Yun Fu briefly explained to him, "Some kind of sacrificial ritual is going on here. I suspect the object they're using for the sacrifice is a child."
Yun Fu's eyes swept towards the child being lifted up on the shore, and she added, "That child is still alive. I have to go save him."
If we haven’t met, it’s fine.
But now that she has encountered it, I can no longer pretend not to see it.
The child looked to be about the same age as Qi Mo. He was stripped naked and had messy totems painted on his body. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
After Yun Fu finished speaking, she leaped onto the altar that was half a person's height.
The old woman was halfway through the ceremony when she looked up and met Yun Fu's gaze. She immediately raised her cane and pointed it at her. Her cloudy, yellow eyes were filled with cruelty: "Who are you? Who told you to come up here? Get out!"
Yun Fu stared at the child, too lazy to pay attention to her at the moment. She raised her hand, grasped one end of the cane, and with a force, threw the person off the altar.
"Get out of here first. I'll settle the score with you later."
