Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 12 Behind the Back

The slightly swaying lantern reflected the dead silence in the blood-stained courtyard. The still-dead people rolled and moaned on the ground with their stumps in their arms, and the broken walls were still collapsing into debris.

Chen Yuan staggered on the ground, her hair was in a mess, she wiped off the blood from her mouth, and stared fixedly at the figure standing among the corpses, the wood carving in her hand was lifeless, with several lines cracked.

"It's not dead"

Forcing himself to take a step, the standing figure at the other end of the field of vision swayed and trembled, as if the pain returned, and sat down in the pool of blood with a bang, with the only remaining hand instinctively touching the empty left arm.

"Where are the hands?"

Li Yuanshan remembered something again, stopped looking for that arm, looked at the bright red eyes all over the ground, and muttered.

"Oh, that's right... I'm here to kill... to kill... Liu Hui... where is your son, he killed my son..."

Chen Yuan leaned against the wall and approached a few steps. He had probably heard what Liu Yuanwai said before.

"...Liu Boyuan is cowardly, he shouldn't have that courage."

The man sitting paralyzed over there just muttered, his eyes swept around, Mr. Liu was lying in a pool of blood without blinking his eyes, a deep gash in his back stretched obliquely from the back of his neck to his lower back, and he was silent.

The man looked at Yuanwai Liu who was not moving, his murmured words were a little vague.

"My son and that woman are both engaged... His son intervened, why? They have a good relationship... Friends... I can rest assured... In the morning, I ate with me at home I only went out for breakfast, and in the afternoon there were no people...why did they disappear...my heart hurts..."

He lowered his head to look at the blood on his hands, and some memories flashed before his eyes as if yesterday.

The high-spirited young man Xunxian asked.

Insufficient qualifications are sent down the mountain, wandering around in the world of mortals, meeting the sweetheart, having the idea of ​​starting a family and starting a business, having children, and establishing a family business.

The baby who was in the swaddle grew up slowly, and when he was a toddler and whispered, he was slapped on the palm of his hand by his husband, and he pouted his small mouth aggrieved, and gradually turned into a handsome young man in his eyes.

If there is no accident, he will stay with his wife for the rest of his life until he dies.

The resurgent memory stopped, and Li Yuanshan tried to stretch out his only hand to hold it back, but it finally disappeared in his eyes, his body shook, he closed his eyelids and wailed "Ah--", he bent his body against the ground, hoarse cried out.

Chen Yuan looked at him, never thought that a man would cry so sadly, the crying lasted for a while before gradually subsiding, Chen Yuan called him, but seeing no response, she wobbled and approached him.

The man knelt on the ground, his forehead touched the ground, motionless, dead.

And over there, Yuanwai Liu also died.

One risked his life to avenge his son, and the other tried his best to protect his son. These are two fathers.

There was a touch in Chen Yuan's heart, but the tense nerves finally relaxed when the other party died, and the exhaustion and pain pressed down like mountains and seas, suppressing that touch.

The whole person shook a few times, his feet went limp, and he fell down among the corpses all over the floor. In the shaking field of vision, he vaguely saw the old man in ragged clothes running towards him clutching his stomach, and there were also many people coming from the courtyard. Approach carefully.

Chen Yuan closed her eyes, and darkness swept in.

……

Consciousness returned to a dark color, I don't know how long it took, the warm breath shone on the face, and the under the eyelids were warm red, the severe pain in the body woke Chen Yuan up, and the smell of wound medicine filled the room.

He slowly opened his eyes, the bright sunlight was pouring into the open window and shone in front of the bed, there was a little noise outside, footsteps, talking, when he was fully awake, recalling what happened last night, he endured the pain and sat up , in sight, on another bed in the room, a crazy old man in ragged clothes, with his limbs stretched out, was sleeping soundly.

"Master."

If the old man didn't come suddenly last night and divert the man's attention, I'm afraid he wouldn't have the chance to lie here.Seeing the old man sleeping soundly while scratching his messy hair occasionally, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile, got off the bed, and saluted respectfully to the old man on the bed.

Seeing that the old man was still sleeping, he didn't wake him up, and staggered to open the door, wanting to see what was going on outside.

The door opened with a creak, and the guard outside saw the figure at the door, subconsciously took a step back, and one of them ran away in a hurry, as if to call for someone.

The remaining guard arched his hands respectfully.

"I have seen Mr. Chen."

Chen Yuan understood what these people were thinking in her heart. The group of merchants and theater troupe people knew that he knew magic spells and talked to the errands with such an attitude of respect and distance, so she nodded her head and said "yes", and then looked at the courtyard. .

In the East Wing, you can see the yamen servants everywhere, and there are also policemen walking around quickly. When Chen Yuan wakes up, a policeman brings two people over to invite him to talk.

It is impossible for Chen Yuan to really tell the other party about errands, spells, etc., so she probably picked it up. Go up to rescue and fight that person"... Such words are perfunctory.

The people in the troupe didn't seem to tell the people in the yamen these words. After listening to Chen Yuan's description, the catcher nodded and led the people away. Anyway, the real culprit is already dead, so how can we pursue it?After all, there was a motive. The son of the Li family was killed by the young master of the Liu family. The other party's motive for killing him made sense.

"Is your son awake?"

After the yamen left, Chen Yuan remembered about the charm of the talisman, so she looked at the nursing home beside her. The latter finally felt happy, nodded repeatedly, and replied respectfully: "Mr. My son woke up early this morning."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was easy to talk, the chatterbox of the nursing home also opened up.

"It's a pity that my master was killed by that person. If Mr. was not there, countless people in the house would have died at the hands of the other party. It's a pity that my master... well, the county magistrate is here today, and he is probably talking to Madam."

Chen Yuan didn't speak, just smiled at the nursing home, turned around and went back to the room.After standing for a long time, my body was still aching, so I went back to the house and sat down by the bed, only then did I see a black charm beside the pillow, and hurriedly called the nursing yard outside.

"Didn't it burn? Why are you still here?"

"This is not the one on my young master's bed." The nursing home thought for a while: "It seems to be on Li Yuanshan's body. Madam said that this thing is evil, so I should leave it to the husband."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan's expression was flat, and she thought someone had put a spell on him, but she already knew how to break it, so even if someone put a spell on it, there was nothing to worry about.

"Trouble brother, go ask your wife to prepare a few livestock for me, the bigger the better."

"Sir, Madam will definitely agree if you open your mouth. I don't know where the livestock are kept?"

"Just over there in the back kitchen."

After being sent away from the nursing home, Chen Yuan knew the current predicament, and she might encounter it again in the future, and she would not be so lucky like this time. The best way is to improve her cultivation.Just as he was thinking, the nursing home that he had left before came back, followed by Mrs. Liu.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked haggard. There was a thin young man beside her, who was her son.Lying on the bed for two months, skinny and ugly, with sunken eyes and sunken cheeks, she followed her mother in silently.

Before Chen Yuan could speak, the mother and son had already knelt down.

"Sir, please be respected by my mother and son."

The mother and son kowtowed, and the woman asked the son to make another salute. Liu Boyuan already knew what had happened from his mother, and looked at Chen Yuan with wet eyes.

"My benefactor, please accept the gift!"

After saying that, without hesitation, he kowtowed three times on the hard ground with a 'boom'.

"Get up." Being knelt and kowtowed, Chen Yuan couldn't find the right words for a while, and helped Liu Boyuan up with her own hands, "Your father tried every means to protect you. From now on, the Liu family will You have to bear it."

Liu Boyuan just nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard. He stood there with sobs in his throat.

"If I hadn't listened to that woman's sweet talk and hung out with her in a ecstasy, how could such a thing have happened..."

"This is fate."

The woman also shed tears and dragged her son to cry for a while before supporting each other to leave.

For one woman, two families were killed.

Ugh.

Chen Yuan sighed, although the young master of the Liu family said he was repentant, but he was so weak that he might not remember it in the future, and it would be nice to live past forty.Thinking about it, he saw that the master was still sleeping, thinking about improving his cultivation, and asked the nurse to lead the way to the back kitchen.

The alley at the back door was crowded with domestic animals. A few hens stuck out their heads restlessly in cages. A sheep was tied to the side and tilted its head to look around. There was even a big green cow flapping its ears, walking slowly. Chewing fodder.

'It's all about you. '

Asking the nurse to close the door and go to the kitchen to wait, Chen Yuan opened the chicken coop, grabbed a hen, pinched the neck of the chicken and used the mana.

cluck... cluck...

The gray hen struggled and neighed, its wings fell, and its plump flesh quickly shriveled.

The sky shines through the gaps in the clouds.

In the other direction of the city, at Li's mansion, there was a carriage slowly pulling up. A tender white hand rolled up the curtain, followed by a woman who got out of the carriage and drove away. The door plaque, looking back into the car, with an ambiguous expression.

"Tang Bo, this place will be ours from now on."

"Well, it's all ours, ours."

The curtain of the car was slightly opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with a long beard of half a foot, quite elegant, smiling and staring at his niece's pretty face, the latter rolled her eyes coquettishly, full of coquettishness.

If Mrs. Liu was here, she would definitely recognize that this is the county magistrate who just left her house.
