Chapter 20: Going Home Without Ji (Revised)

The noise penetrated from outside the village to inside the village, just like the sea rising tide and the waves slowly slapped towards each other... But the abnormal thing was the He family courtyard - the outside was full of chaos, and the noise of adults and children became louder and louder, but the courtyard was silent...

Erya and He Gui looked at each other, and a dark cloud floated across their hearts... Erya thought for a moment and said decisively: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to see what happened in the dark first!"

He Gui suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, nodded slightly, and the two left the courtyard and sneaked into the night...

Ma Liu frowned at this time - there was a whistle sound in the He family compound, but he did not listen to the noise in the compound, which proved that the group responsible for cleaning up the servants above and below the courtyard was not wrong, but the group responsible for abducting He Gui encountered trouble... He looked at the battalion of soldiers who had moved from Taiyuan garrison to surrounded Dongzhuang, slightly relieved the anxiety in his heart. Ma Liu's face showed a hint of hideousness under the dark moonlight: "Hmph! He Gui, see how you escaped from the four nets this time..." He called the garrison captain who was commanding the soldiers: "Light up the torch to prevent He Gui from sneaking into the people..."

The fire rose, and the people of Dongzhuang who were pulled from the couch were slightly frightened. There was not a thief in front of him who came to rob. In front of him were soldiers from Taiyuan Vilar. Someone muttered in his heart: "Oh! I don't know who attracted the thieves in the village, which made the ward sect fight, but it scared us and the common people. Look at these soldiers like wolves and tigers, it seems that they will lose money, but their lives are of great importance after all..."

Ma Liu ignored the soldiers, Ding Ruyi, harassed the neighbors of the east and west, and led his dozens of his subordinates to the He family courtyard. Behind him, the captain followed him, licked his face and smiled charmingly: "Master Six! Here..."

Ma Liu thought for a moment: "The less people know about arresting He Gui..." He turned to the lieutenant and said, "You lead the troops to suppress the people again. The most important thing is to block the surroundings. You can't let the old thief run away!" Seeing that the lieutenant said nothing, he ignored him and left alone.

As soon as he entered the gate of the He family courtyard, a black shadow flashed out: "Sixth Master! Xiao Hei and the others were in trouble..."

Ma Liu's eyes flashed with a faint light and he snorted coldly: "What happened?"

The black shadow couldn't explain clearly, so hesitated for a moment: "The terrain is not familiar, so please ask Master Liu to see it in person..." As he said that, he led the way in front of him.

Ma Liu said no more and followed him. As he walked, he asked, "The people in the courtyard..."

The person who led the way replied carefully: "There are all 113 people in the front yard, and they are all clean!"

Ma Liu snorted coldly: "Then is only the old man He Gui who escaped?"

"It should be!"

"Hmph! It seems that the old master did not underestimate this guy. If I hadn't been to bring me the military soldiers to the garrison, I would have done it again with just a few trash!" Ma Liu scolded dissatisfied.

The person who led the way did not dare to speak, but just stepped up...

When they walked away, in a room behind them, He Gui, who had just held his breath and listened carefully to Ma Liu and others, finally couldn't help but groan... Erya was shocked and looked down. He Gui's mouth had blood oozed, and then he couldn't bear it anymore. He coughed a few times, leaving a mouthful of blood in his mouth...

Erya quickly checked He Gui's whole body carefully - there was a knife in his kidney on his back... Erya's face was filled with anxiety and she whispered: "When did you get injured?"

He Gui smiled bitterly and said intermittently: "It seems... I'm old - I'm not going to be too tiring when I drink some wine... I should have avoided the key points, but I was still hung up by that kid... I didn't expect that my old friend who had been with him for decades would really live up to his reputation as a "giant crocodile". His methods were so spicy, but I felt sorry for these more than a hundred mouthfuls..."

Erya's face was gloomy - the experience of fighting on the line of life and death told him that He Gui had not had much time... He turned his face slightly, preventing He Gui from seeing his expression and slightly red eyes. He Gui suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Are you a little sad?"

Erya didn't say anything...

He Gui chuckled gently, gasping slightly: "Hmph! Life is like a flash of time. I came out to explore at the age of sixteen and saw everything. Although I have not passed by sixteen, I have all suffered and enjoyed all my hardships and happiness..." He said here, his voice slightly astringent, "My father told me that this life will only be sixty years, let me live a good life-assincere... but the one whom I am most sorry for in this life is him..."

Erya suddenly interrupted in a quiet voice: "I am here to pick you up home..."

"You?" He Gui was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "I said why did I feel so friendly... It turned out that my family came... Home is such a good place - ten miles of peach blossoms, beautiful mountains and rivers, whatever you want... It's just too frustrating, like a living coffin..." His eyelids became more and more powerless, and he slowly wanted to close... but he was energetic.

Erya saw that his voice was already low, but she still tried hard to support her. The corners of her mouth moved, and she bent down and put her ear against his mouth, but heard his subtle voice panting: "I only have two treasures in my life... I have given them all to you in my arms... Take good care of them... I really hope that my father, my elder brother will scream Wuji again..." He coughed a few times, and smiled narrowly, "The happiest thing is that you were cheated - in order to let you learn cooking from me, that bullshit yin and yang energy is really useful... Ginger is still so spicy..." As he slowly muttered, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed...

Erya was born again. She had experienced countless deaths before, and gradually looked down on life and death. At this time, when she saw He Gui passing away, she still couldn't help but feel sad... He stroked He Gui's half-closed eyes with his hand and helped him close. But she cursed in her mouth: "Old man! You have not completed my mission..." She looked down at the old man who had been with him for two months, but could not say anything below... He widened his eyes with his sluggish eyes.

The water vapor in it gradually dissipated, and then he could easily reach into He Gui's arms and took out a book of books, writing several Zhong Wang Xiaokai: "Taotie Delicacies"! He didn't open it, put it in his arms, took a deep breath, tightened the military spear in his hand, came to the yard, and released a wisp of fireworks... Then he turned around the house and said to He Gui Xuxu: "I told my family to welcome you back... Those little caterpillars will help you cook! Letting you see your lies is also a genius creation!"

Erya whispered in the room for a while and turned around and gently brought the door up, and walked towards the courtyard...

In the courtyard, Ma Liu lowered his head and looked at the wound of the deceased. He raised his head and said coldly: "There are not only old men... they are capable, they are veterans!"

He turned his head and ordered a dozen subordinates: "I will ask the soldiers outside to enter the courtyard, and I will definitely sort out the two of them for me!"

Suddenly, an old voice interrupted: "No need... I'm here!"

Ma Liu and others turned around and looked at him. Who else could anyone else be He Gui...

Ma Liu grinned: "Hmph! Silly old man... You are here without a door to hell! Guys... are working! The old master is going to live!"

The old man stood there without saying a word, but looked at the dozen people who were gradually approaching him coldly, and a faint chill in his eyes...

"Living? Haha..." The old man's desolate smile showed infinite sadness... He put away his laughter, and walked closer to the killers, "Are you also captive dogs?" He ridiculed his lips, and his hands were not idle at all. Several killers clearly saw the other's hands slowly attacking him, but felt that his body was out of control. A severe pain came, and then he howled unconsciously and silenced to the ground...

Ma Liu was frightened to find that the other party was like a devil. He clearly saw the old man's hands slowly handing to his companion, but his companion did not move at all, and was willing to be killed... He felt that his face seemed to be together and he had difficulty breathing...

"Shouldn't the killer be firm in his mind? Why are you so pussy?" The old man's demeanor is lazy...

Ma Liu was frightened to find that apart from himself, more than a dozen people had fallen to the ground, crying in pain... His pupils were shrinking sharply, and he could no longer bear the strange situation, so he wanted to escape... But the old man had already paced towards him, his heart was immediately heavy, and he could no longer take steps.

"Do you want to run away? I treat you so kindly and don't give you face..." The old man said a playful word, but Ma Liu became even more heartbroken...

Suddenly, Ma Liuyi roared hoarsely, feeling that his body could be controlled... The old man was stunned - this person could actually escape from the control of his own yin and yang! His face was abruptly cold, and the sharp blade in his hand had slowly swung out. When Ma Liu felt that he was so close to death, he just felt a chill on his face: "Speak out what I want to know... you can go back!"

"What's going on outside?"

"I'll move the soldiers from the garrison..."

"Why listen to you?"

"Those wines were originally tributed to the palace... I had the receipt given by the owner of the manor, so I falsely accused him of being involved with the thief..."

"Who is behind the scenes?"

"Chen...ah! You are not the owner of Manor He..." Ma Liu, who was originally dull, suddenly shouted in horror, and a kind of pressure immediately interrupted his words.

The other party groaned and slowly withdrew from the yard, "Haha! Tell your master, remember to have nightmares..."

Ma Liu slowly fell down, the courtyard was already hell, and the rest of the people no longer knew what blood was or what flesh was...

postscript

"The mission failed?" The master's face turned pale.

Erya didn't say anything, but slowly took out the book in her arms and put it on the table: "He Gui asked me to take care of two things..."

"Why are you valuable?" The master pondered for a moment, "Wei, 'he', 'women', 'ghost', and 'ghost'. After all, he still regards himself as the descendants of the Wei family!" He slowly opened the title page, "Taotie, an ancient divine beast, is greedy for delicious food. I have been greedy since I was a child, but my father and brother are not good at cooking, and finally abandoned my family and ran away... I am unfilial. I am greedy for insects and greedy for myself..."

The teacher smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Wuji went out just because he loved to eat, and luck made people! Take care of two things? One is naturally the book he learned in the kitchen, which makes you accept his mantle... What is the other?" As he said, he flipped through the book in confusion, but a Xue Tao signature floated out...

Erya grabbed from the air: "Peach Blossom Dock outside Taohua Creek, peach blossoms are reflected in each other..." Before he finished reading, the teacher smiled faintly and said, "It's a surprise for you, I know it..." Without waiting for Erya to ask, he continued: "If you fail this mission, I will punish you to fulfill Wuji's wish, go out to experience it, and open a world-famous delicacy..."

In front of Wei Wuji's tomb, the worshiper was sad: "My father told you to live to be sixty because he only gave you time before he was sixty to let you be free. After he was sixty, he asked you to come back as a teacher and will take on your responsibility. Who knew that my father's words would come true..." He sighed.

The peach blossoms scattered on the grave, like a confession, like a sad song...
