Both of them were silent, Lao Xu slowly lowered his head, still did not speak, Xiao Chen's eyes froze, and finally said: "Over the years, Master Xu has often felt guilty, that day, if he didn't fight with others, if he didn't go to Zuixian Lake to get water, and delayed the time to go back, maybe ...... Maybe we'll be able to save my wife and children, right?"

"You...... You ......"

At this moment, Lao Xu was even more suddenly startled, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, pointing at Xiao Chen, his expression was terrified to the limit, he staggered back and forth, and even kicked the bench and almost fell.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to help him, and said in a harmonious voice: "Master Xu doesn't have to be afraid, he is a disciple of Xuanqing Sect, and he is investigating the suspected case of the ancient village more than 20 years ago, and he will definitely not harm you." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a disciple of Xuanqingmen, Lao Xu calmed down, and looked at the white-clothed boy in front of him with some disbelief, no wonder he brought the fish back from Suzhou so quickly during the day, it turned out to be the "immortal" disciple above Xuanqing Mountain......

"You...... You ......"

It's just that at this moment, Lao Xu is still difficult to calm down for a while, the scene that was like Shura's hell back then, still haunts his eyes, every time he closes his eyes, he can see the dead villagers, and see the faces full of blood.

"I died so miserably...... I died a terrible death...... Help me...... I don't want to die...... Help me...... It's cold...... It's so cold in the underworld......"

"Ah...... Don't kill me...... Don't kill me!"

Suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, Lao Xu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, his face was extremely pale, and he kept chanting words like "Don't kill me" in his mouth, obviously temporarily losing his mind because of the old thing.

Xiao Chen was helpless, so he had to hold him down, and quickly applied a layer of Xuanqingmen's "Pure Heart Technique" to the top of his head, which made him slowly calm down.

After a long time, Xiao Chen spoke: "You can talk about it...... What happened back then?"

"...... of the year"

At this moment, Lao Xu seemed to have fallen into the memories of many years ago, scene by scene, and swept through his heart one by one.

After a long time, I heard him say slowly: "That year, I was twenty-eight, because I was obsessed with cooking, so I got married late, but I also had a child, during that time the village often made trouble, one day I came back from outside the village, I saw a few leopards rushed into the village, hurt a lot, the villagers were panicked, and there was a spotted leopard rushed to my house, I was scared at that time, but there were not yet full moon children and children in the house, just at the critical moment, I saw a figure rushing over, a few punches actually killed the leopard... ...”

Speaking of this, Lao Xu paused for a while before continuing: "Later, I learned that the benefactor's surname is Yang, named Yang Jin, and he passed by Wujia Village with his wife, and the husband and wife are only in their early twenties, and they are displaced from all over because they are fleeing the war, and they also have a child who is not yet a full moon......"

Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked, "Then what? What about the Yang family, have you ever told them where they came from?"

Lao Xu shook his head and continued: "They only said that they came from another country, Yang Jin should have practiced martial arts, and the village chief saw that he could kill the leopard with his bare hands, and he was kind, so he let his wife stay in the village, and with Yang Jin here, those beasts would no longer dare to enter the village to hurt people......"

"Alas......"

Speaking of this, Lao Xu sighed deeply and continued: "Yang Jin and his wife, not far from my house, every night, I always hear the baby crying, crying very much, I don't know what kind of crime a little baby has suffered, and later I learned that Yang Jin's lady has never fed the baby at all, she has never been pregnant, where did the milk come from?"

In other words, the baby was not born to Yang Jin and his wife. Xiao Chen frowned and asked.

"That's right......"

Lao Xu nodded and continued: "The child is so young, how can he not drink milk? My lady saw that the child was so small, where could she drink porridge......?

Speaking of this, Lao Xu let out a long sigh again, his eyes gradually showed fear again, and his voice became a little trembling: "Just a month later, I heard that a famous chef came to Suzhou, so I went to Qingzhou, as Gongzi said, the celebrity chef took out a Linyuan envy fish, I was young and vigorous at that time, and I couldn't be angry, so I went to Zuixian Lake to get a bowl of water, and made a bowl of clear water without fish, and it was because of this that the time was delayed, and when I returned to the village, it was late at night, that scene...... I can't forget ......."

At this point, his body trembled even more, his face became paler and paler, and his eyes were full of fear, and it was evident that he could no longer speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder: "Master Xu, don't be nervous, tell me, what you saw at that time, who the murderer was, and what kind of means did you use......

"I ...... I see, I see ......"

Lao Xu couldn't help but tremble again, and said in a trembling voice: "I saw the house collapse, the corpses all over the ground were in a mess, the blood was flowing like a river, everyone, everyone died...... Not a single one survived, everyone, all died......"

"Do you see who did it?"

"No...... No...... When I went back, everyone was dead......"

Lao Xu said tremblingly, his eyes became more and more cloudy, Xiao Chen could imagine the cruel picture of that night, and asked, "What about Yang Jin and his wife?

"No...... Didn't see ......."

Lao Xu shook his head dumbfoundedly and muttered to himself, "They, too, are probably dead...... A miasma spread in the village, and I couldn't even dig out my mother's body from under the rubble, so I had to leave......"

The events of the year are emerging little by little, but they are shrouded in layers of fog, Xiao Chen knows that he can't ask anything next, his life experience is still a mystery, but the only thing that can be determined now is that he is not from the ancient village.

The night was blurred, and after leaving some silver taels, Xiao Chen left the inn, counting the days, he had left Qingmu Cliff for almost a month, and he didn't know what happened to Shen Jing.

......

Two days later, he returned to the Aoki Cliff, only to see the murmuring water in the valley, the lush vegetation, the flowers, and the singing of a hundred birds, all of which were full of spring, and the valley was much warmer than when he first came.

Entering the depths of the valley, it happened that Shen Jing was refining medicine outside on this day, and when she saw him coming back, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

"Found it. ”

Xiao Chen nodded lightly, but at this time, for some reason, the matter in Qingzhou City made him feel a little heavy, so he simply stopped thinking about it, looked into the cave mansion, and asked, "What about Weiyang, how is she?"

"She'......"

Hearing him ask Hua Weiyang, Shen Jing's eyebrows gradually locked, and she slowly lowered her head, not knowing how to tell him, and finally shook her head gently.
