Chapter 106: Repaying a favor
has indeed changed.
It started as sporadic rain stars falling, and after a while it got bigger and bigger.
Jiang Ran and his party made some twists and turns and packed all the corpses around them onto the cart.
One car is not enough, and Jiang Ran is indeed well prepared.
It took three carts to collect all the named corpses from Wuxin Gui Mansion and Zuodaozhuang.
This is not a good thing for others.
But for Jiang Ran, this is life-saving medicine.
Although most of them were not killed by Jiang Ran...
but the system never said that it had to be someone who killed them in order to receive the reward, right?
At least I haven't said it in the past, just take it there and give it a try first.
There is another section...
the young owner of the village is still missing.
I don’t know if he is still in the Valley of Rebirth.
Jiang Ran didn't look for it either.
After all, the situation in the Valley of Rebirth is not suitable for exploration.
Now that it's raining, the difficulty is doubled.
Moreover, the further you go into the Valley of Life, the heavier the fog becomes. If you can't find anyone when you look back, and if you are trapped in it again, then the gain outweighs the loss.
After thinking about it again and again, I made other plans.
Then he decided to lead everyone back.
It's just that the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
Jiang Ran, Li Tianxin and Gui Shisan each pushed a cart.
It's okay for now, but if the mountain road becomes slippery for a while, it will be difficult to push the car.
Wouldn't it be a pity if one or two bodies were lost?
Liu Wenshan was supported by Ye Jingshuang and Shi Miao.
Although his body was far from being able to walk without being carried, it was still a bit difficult for him to walk another twenty miles in the rain.
Therefore, the group of people first left the Valley of the Past, and then decided to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
Shelter from the rain is not difficult to find.
Not far from the Valley of Rebirth, there is a cave.
It's what Jiang Ran got from visiting the spots in the past two days.
At that time, Jiang Ran also discovered a bear here.
He had no intention of killing, and since he had business to do, he got rid of him.
Who would have thought that this bear didn't know whether to live or die, and went deep into the Valley of Life to find Jiang Ran, only to see it trapped in it, unable to find a way out, and invaded by miasma, causing it to suffer terribly.
Jiang Ran couldn't bear it and took action to help him escape.
Now if I want to find a place to take shelter from the rain, this cave is just right.
He led everyone there in a familiar manner.
However, this cave is not spacious, and the three carts cannot fit in, so they can only be placed outside to find a place to hide them.
Afterwards, everyone walked into the cave one after another.
The smell in here is not pleasant.
After all, it was a cramped place, occupied by wild animals, and filled with all kinds of strange smells.
Jiang Ran led everyone to sit down, and several people looked at each other. Li Tianxin was the first to speak:
"Have you been busy with this for the past two days?"
This question was naturally directed to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded lightly:
"I asked Lord Chang before and knew that there were three places that were quite dangerous, so I checked them out myself.
"It's just that of the three places that Lord Chang mentioned, only the Valley of Rebirth is the most suitable, occupying the most dangerous place. Natural location.
"As for the haunted village, it's just a legend. I waited there all night, let alone ghosts... There are no ghosts.
"As for Yinlongpo... there is actually an ancient tomb underneath.
"The soil in that place was soft, there were traps underfoot, and there were rats digging holes. Someone passed by, and the soil couldn't bear their weight, so they fell in." "Under the Yinlong Slope... is an ancient tomb
. ?"
Liu Wenshan was surprised when he heard this: "
I don't even know about this.
"Do you know what dynasty it is from? "
Li Tianxin also became interested: "How about we go for a trip in two days? "
"If you want to go, just go by yourself. "
Jiang Ran smiled and said, "But that place has been looted long ago. " Moreover, the method is not just that of a field mouse, it is like plowing a field, leaving no grass growing wherever it passes.
Li Tianxin was moved: "Is it the government? "
"Nine times out of ten, you're right. " "
Jiang Ran said: "The former county magistrate once went to investigate Yinlongpo, but he didn't mention a word about the specific situation, and he refused to allow anyone to set foot on Yinlongpo..." "I
see. Li
Tianxin suddenly realized: "I'm afraid that people will find out. It's a pity... it's a pity." "
His face was indeed full of regret.
He seemed to be very disappointed that he could not dig graves.
Ye Jingshuang looked at this and that. He didn't know when Jiang Ran had made so many friends. ?
Jiang Ran glanced at her and then remembered that he hadn't introduced her yet, so he pointed at Li Tianxin and Gui Shisan and introduced them to her.
And when she heard the words 'Ghost Thirteen' After that, his expression suddenly changed.
After pondering for a moment, he asked softly:
"Wuxin Ghost Mansion...what happened? "
Gui Shisan frowned slightly. Now he already knows what happened to Hong Maple Leaf's family. He
knows what those demons and monsters who left Wuxin Ghost Mansion did...
Faced with the question of Ye Jingshuang, the suffering master, he hesitated for a long time. , then said:
"I really can't disclose anything about the situation in the house.
"This is an iron rule...
" But after I leave, I will tell the master of the house everything about the Hong Maple Leaf family.
"I believe the master of the palace will give you an explanation."
Having said that, Ye Jingshuang did not continue to ask.
If it were before today, naturally he would not give up so easily.
But now she has learned from Tong Wanli that the chaos in Wuxin Gui Mansion has been planned by Tianshangque for a long time, and it may be a conspiracy.
If so, Wuxin Guifu may also be a victim in this incident.
Even if I could blame them for their lax supervision, other than that, it would not help.
Whatever you say now is just a waste of words.
In the final analysis, it is Tong Wanli who is to blame for the Hong Maple Leaf family's disaster.
Tong Wanli was dead and his heads were beheaded by Jiang Ran.
This matter ends here.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly felt empty, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
It happened that Jiang Ran's eyes fell on her at this time and asked:
"Shuang'er, what are your plans for the future?"
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran and suddenly smiled:
"I want to stay by your side.
" As soon as he said this, everyone, including Shi Miao, looked at Jiang Ran.
Li Tianxin's eyes narrowed, rolling back and forth on Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang's bodies, with unclear meaning.
Jiang Ran was also stunned:
"Why?"
"Repay the favor."
Ye Jingshuang said softly:
"Brother Jiang, you have helped me out of trouble again and again. Without you, I would have been dead long ago. Time.
"Now he is helping me plan and set up a plan to avenge the blood feud.
"When Tong Wanli died, I finally had an explanation for my parents and the Ye family who died in vain.
"There is no way I can repay this great kindness. I am willing to always be by your side, bring you tea and water, and take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation. Repay this favor.
"Miss Ye has a clear sense of grudges and grudges, which is admirable. " "
Before Jiang Ran could speak, Li Tianxin raised his eyebrows and said,
"However, you have always been well-dressed and well-fed, and you were born in a noble family.
"I'm afraid that I can't take care of myself, right? How can I take care of others?"
"Huh?"
Ye Jingshuang gave Li Tianxin a strange look:
"Brother Li, why did you say this? Things in this world, before you have ever been exposed to them, naturally No one can.
"But I can't always learn. I am determined to learn, so why can't I learn? "
Li Tianxin was silent for a moment, finding that it was hard for him to refute this.
Then he glanced at Jiang Ran and said,
"Can you bear to let such a delicate girl serve you all the time? "
It's none of your business. " "
Jiang Ran rolled his eyes at him.
"..."
Li Tianxin had the urge to draw a knife and kill.
But after fighting Li Tianxin, Jiang Ran looked at Ye Jingshuang:
"Have you really thought about it? "
Yes. " Ye
Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran and said,
"Brother Jiang, are you unwilling to take me in?" "
That's a strong statement. " "
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"As for repaying a favor, I don't think it is necessary. However, if we are traveling together in the world... this is something we can only hope for. "
Okay." "
Ye Jingshuang didn't worry about whether to repay her kindness or not. After hearing what Jiang Ran said, she nodded immediately:
"Then let's travel together in the world! After finishing speaking ,
he did not forget to look at Li Tianxin:
"Look, Brother Jiang doesn't even need me to serve him. It seems that I don't need to learn more." "
..."
Li Tianxin drew his knife and wanted to kill one more person.
Finally, he curled his lips and said,
"None of my business..."
He held the knife aside and turned to look at the raindrops outside the cave.
Liu Wenshan looked at Li Tianxin and then at Ye Jingshuang, with a bit of confusion on his face.
Finally he shook his head and didn't ask for any explanation. He just said:
"It's naturally good for you to travel together in the world... But before that, , you should still go back to Hong Maple Leaf’s house. "
Ye Jingshuang glanced at Jiang Ran and asked for his opinion.
Jiang Ran pondered for a moment and said,
"I will go to another place tomorrow and will give you an answer when I get back. "
He is going to ask Xiang Lin.
The clues to ask Xiang Lin are too obvious. It clearly shows that there is a problem, and it is probably to invite you to the urn.
Since he is inviting you to the urn, Jiang Ran always has no reason not to go.
Not only does he want to go, he also has to let the young man go. The owner of the village will also go.
However, after this experience in the Valley of the Past, I guess this person will no longer believe in Perennial.
By then, he will probably have to spend a lot of money.
Nothing happened after that, but Jiang Ran Gui Shisan asked Gui Shisan what the names of the people in Wuxin Gui Mansion were and whether there were any rewards.
Gui Shisan was really familiar with the origins of this group of people. He
casually said that Jiang Ran was the only one here. Then a prompt appeared.
However, some of these people had bounties on them, and some did not... Among
the eight people in Wuxin Ghost Mansion, a total of four people had bounties on them.
They were five thousand treasure mirrors. Two, Liao Chengfeng five thousand five hundred taels, Zeng Quanli four thousand taels, Guan Zisheng two thousand taels. Needless to say
, Baojing and Liao Chengfeng, Zeng Quanli is the sallow face, the little old man who jumped into the stream that day. As for
Guan Zisheng, Jiang However, they only met once.
He was the unlucky guy who was thrown out of the mist before and had his head chopped off by Jiang Ran.
Apart from them, there were not many people with names in Zuo Daozhuang.
There were six people in total.
The reward was not much, the highest was only seven hundred taels, which showed that it was not a good deal.
Jin Sanding and Madam Wu were not easy, but the problem was... they were punched away by the treasure mirror at that time. , the appearance of Yang and Yue Jun attracted the attention of everyone present.
Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang went to find Tong Wanli first, and when no one noticed these two people, they ran away first.
This matter Jiang Ran thought about it and felt that he should scold Li Tianxin for being a cheat.
He told him to keep watch, but he followed him.
Fortunately, even so, Jiang Ran's gains from this trip were not real. Small.
Far better than the one at the Cangzhou Prefecture Heroes Association.
Also worth mentioning is the Second Lord of Yangyue.
There is no bounty on these two people.
At least no one present has heard of this matter...
Jiang Ran responded to this He had expected it, so he was not discouraged after hearing this, because he still had a sword-catching order. The
Jin Chan Dynasty also had a sword-holding division.
It is impossible to say that these two people were in the sword-holding division and were on the list.
Regardless of whether this idea is right No, anyway, just in case, just go back and ask the person in charge of the sword. In
this way, there is no need to push all three carts back.
If we directly cut off the heads of these ten people, a car would pull them back. If this is not possible, it would be enough for one person to carry two heads.
However, this latter suggestion was refuted by Li Tianxin.
Except for Ye Jingshuang, everyone disagreed, so Jiang Ran had no choice but to give up.
Of course, since Li Tianxin was so active, Jiang Ran had to express his feelings, so the job of pushing the cart was left to him.
Nothing was said after that. It rained all night.
Everyone finally found a way to light a fire to keep warm. Even though Jiang Ran and others were highly skilled in martial arts, Liu Wenshan was still a weak scholar.
He had just recovered from a serious illness. If he continued to work for such a night, he would probably die before dawn.
The next morning, the rain stopped.
While everyone was still awake, Jiang Ran couldn't bear to see Tong Wanli and all the corpses without bounties on them, so he fed them to the beasts.
Then he simply lit up a fire and burned them all.
After Liu Wenshan woke up, everyone got back on the road.
When he reached the entrance of the Valley of Rebirth, Jiang Ran paid special attention to the traces on the ground.
I found a series of footprints heading outside, it shouldn't have been too long.
Probably the young village owner.
He probably found a place to take shelter from the rain in the Valley of Rebirth. After the rain stopped this morning, he walked in front of Jiang Ran and his group.
After Jiang Ran thought for a while, he decided to take the first step.
The young village owner suffered such a big loss here, and he might go back and seek revenge directly on Chang Nian.
Even though Jiang Ran had never promised Dao Wuming to protect Chang Nian, but in the past few days in Benma County, Chang Nian had obeyed his words, and he should not have been harmed by the young village owner because of this.
He immediately greeted everyone and explained the whole story.
Li Tianxin and Ye Jingshuang spoke at the same time, planning to act together with him.
Finally, Jiang Ran nodded to Ye Jingshuang and told Li Tianxin to push the cart carefully... If a person's head falls off, use his head to replace it.
Only then did Li Tianxin give up.
The Valley of the Past is not too far away from Benma County, less than twenty miles away, and the two of them were left behind almost in the blink of an eye.
After entering the county town, the two of them went directly to the county government office without any hesitation.
When he arrived, Jiang Ran felt relieved.
The county government is as calm as ever. If something happened all year round, this would never be the case.
The two of them did not go in from the front, but went around and climbed over the wall on one side to enter the county government office. Afterwards, Jiang Ran and Ye Jingshuang found the study room that they had always used with ease.
Listening from outside the door, there are two voices inside.
Jiang Ran frowned slightly and knocked on the door gently. Soon the study door was opened from the inside.
The person who appeared in front of Jiang Ran was an acquaintance:
"Dao Wuming?"
"Brother Jiang."
When Dao Wuming saw Jiang Ran, he immediately seemed to see a relative and said happily:
"I knew Brother Jiang was not a heartless person. , I didn’t expect that after you rejected me, you still came to protect Chang Nian.
"When I think of this, Xiaosheng feels ashamed in his heart. "
When Jiang Ran saw him, his mood was a little complicated:
"Have you finished your work? "
Yes, within a few days of the change, Xiaosheng ran hundreds of miles back and forth, and the matter was finally resolved." "
When Dao Wuming said this, he stretched out his arms as a guide:
"Brother Jiang, please come inside. "
While speaking, he glanced at Ye Jingshuang again and was slightly startled:
"Could this be Miss Ye from the Hong Maple Leaf Family? Ye
Jingshuang frowned when she heard Jiang Ran address Dao Wuming. When she heard Dao Wuming speak, she suddenly felt blessed: "Are
you the Wuming scholar?" "
That's right. "
Dao Wuming clasped his fists: "Have you ever heard of Xiaosheng? " "
...I met you when I was a child." "
Ye Jingshuang said softly: "When you came to the Ye family to visit our ancestors, you met your seniors. Looking at your current appearance, do you think you have mastered Tao Qi?
"If you don't hear Tao Qi... how can it be so easy to practice? "
"Now I just have a little experience."
Dao Wuming smiled:
"As the saying goes, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die. If you don't hear the Tao, you have to go against it.
"The important thing is... I don't see the Tao, Never see me.
"It's true that it's hard for others to do. It's just unreasonable martial arts.
" Xiangsheng has studied since he was a child and knows the truth best.
"The reason why I visited your grandfather at that time was because of this unfaithful spirit.
"Looking back now, it has been more than ten years since this happened.
"In the blink of an eye, the eldest daughter of the Ye family has become so tall and graceful." "
Not hearing Taoism is a unique Confucian skill, and it has its own profound truth."
Ye Jingshuang smiled and said,
"It is true that the seniors can cultivate it. It's admirable."
Only now did Jiang Ran understand why this martial arts was called Bu Wen Dao Qi.
It turned out to be such a sharp edge.
"Okay, stop chatting in front of the door."
Dao Wuming smiled and said,
"Come in and talk."
Jiang Ran walked inside and asked casually,
"Has anyone come to see Master Chang?"
Chang Nian took a look. The Tao has no name.
Hearing Dao Wuming laugh and say:
"You planned to kill people in Benma Town, and what you have done over the years has been exposed. Naturally, someone will come to seek revenge on him.
"But don't worry, the young village owner has already left when he sees me here.
"Whether I can come back from this trip is still in doubt."
"Where have you gone?"
After Jiang Ran asked, it suddenly dawned on him:
"He went to ask Xiang Lin?"
"Exactly."
Dao Wuming smiled: "Let's go I've been here for about half an hour."
Jiang Ran turned around and left after hearing this.
Dao Wuming was stunned:
"Where are you going?"
"It's none of your business."
Jiang Ran didn't look back.
Ye Jingshuang hurriedly hugged Wuming and then turned around to catch up.
Dao Wuming watched the two people hurried away one after another, and couldn't help but smile slightly:
"It's good to be young."
While talking, he took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Chang Nian:
"Give this book to him when he comes back."
"Yes."
Chang Nian quickly stood up and took it with both hands, with the utmost respect.
