Leng Qing saw that there was someone in the room, and was startled as well. She dropped into the room, and without caring about the pain, she asked in a trembling voice, "Who?"

Di Qing said, "Me." Then he remembered that the child didn't know him so he couldn't help but laugh.

When Leng Qing heard the laughter, she sighed and said, "Oh, so it's not a ghost. You scared me to death."

Di Qing laughed and scolded, "You are the little devil, why are you here in the middle of the night?" Disturb from this young master's good dream. "

Leng Qing pursed her lips and said: "Daddy didn't come back, the old master smashed up the house, and there was another dead person in Fourth Uncle's house. I was afraid, so I ran out to see if the old god had returned."

Di Qing said, "Nonsense, what old deity? Where did your father go? Left you alone at home. "

When she thought back to what the official had said earlier in the day, Leng Qing said in a low voice, "The lord officials said that my father killed someone and committed suicide in the prison. They lied to me!"

Di Qing was startled as he thought to himself, "So his father killed someone. This child is really pitiful. His mother died, and his father committed suicide."

When he thought of how he had wandered the world to avoid being pursued by the officials, how one was in exile and the other had lost his home, he felt sorry for the other. He waved his hand and said, "Come over. Don't be afraid.

Leng Qing was overjoyed. "Big brother, you're a good person. Your father was already very bad during the day. I still have a headache from the beating. Boss has a lump in his throat …" As he spoke, he walked towards the Mud Splitting Wood.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Don't go over there!"

Di Qing's vision blurred as a person rushed into the door.

Di Qing subconsciously swung her arm and yelled, "Who is it?"

The person stretched out his hand to grab Leng Qing and said, "You want to die, child?" He waved his hand to block Di Qing's wooden stick.

Di Qing only felt a sharp pain as the wooden stick flew out of his hand.

The man put Leng Qing against the wall, turned to Di Qing and said coldly, "Who are you? "How dare you be disrespectful to this old man!"

Di Qing was still in a daze, he had been practicing his martial arts since childhood and had some knowledge. Seeing how this old man had such a great strength with just a casual wave of his hand, he could not help but admire the old man in his heart. He cupped his fists and bowed, respectfully saying, "My surname is Di, my name is Han, I have been reckless just now."

Hearing his respectful tone, the man coldly snorted. He turned around and lit up a fire. Squatting on the ground, he fumbled for something. With his other hand, he took out a leather bag and continuously picked up items from the ground and put them into it.

Leng Qing vaguely saw him wearing a grey robe and bamboo hat. Her voice was cold and familiar as it turned from shock to joy. You are a deity, did you come back to help me find daddy? "

This old man was Murong Duo. He had come back to collect the hidden weapons that he had dropped during the fight with the free and unrestrained child yesterday. All the hidden weapons were made of hundreds of times refined, and the poison on them was even rarer. Ordinary people would die the moment they came across one.

Initially, he did not have any hope of getting his hands on it. However, if he wanted to refine the hidden weapon again, he would need a few years to concoct the poison.

He was known for selling medicine for many years, and was known for his countless doctors. Although the medicine shop was empty, and even the officials who tried to make trouble for him had been reported to come to check every day, they were patrolling outside the door, but they did not dare to barge in without permission, not to mention the common folk of the city.

Therefore, other than the poisonous needle that was unable to find the Free and Unrestrained Child, Murong Duo had collected all of his other hidden weapons. He was overjoyed for a moment, stood up and said to Leng Qing: "Little child, your father will not be able to come back. Just now, if you were to encounter this hidden weapon, you would have lost your life. Earlier, you saved this old man once, and this old man also saved you once.

Leng Qing felt that with his powers, he would definitely be able to find his father. She tugged on his sleeve, then raised her head and said, "Grandpa god, can you help me find my father?"

Murong Duo was overjoyed, but he didn't struggle free. Instead, he bent over and said, "Your father is in the magistrate court." After that, he gave a brief summary of what he had heard last night. Although he had not seen it personally, the general situation was exactly the same. He then said, "Don't look for it.

Although Leng Qing was young, she understood that something had really happened to her father. She held back her tears and said: "You are an immortal, why didn't you save Fourth Uncle and my father?"

Murong Duo sneered: "Why should I save them?"

When Di Qing heard this, he became exceptionally angry. He had seen Murong Dufu and thought that he was an otherworldly expert. He had never expected him to be so cold and merciless!

Di Qing could not hold back her anger any longer and shouted, "Senior's martial arts are outstanding. Even if you resent that old man for his greed, how can you not save the two innocent and virtuous people of the Qi family? "It really was all in vain, hehe …"

Murong Duo turned around and glared at him. He raised his palm like a knife and said with a warm tone: "What are you sneering at? In this world, who didn't suffer as much as he did? How could there be only one family? You can only blame them for not being able to protect you. With your righteous attitude, how did you end up in such a sorry state? "Ignorant youngsters truly boast shamelessly."

Di Qing was at a loss for words. She thought about her current situation and felt that it was exactly because of the fight, but even if she was affected by it, if she were to encounter such an evil thing, she would have no reason to do anything. She raised her head and said, "If I let the evil people kill me, won't they be taking responsibility for my chivalry? If I am present, even if my blood sprays all five steps, I will definitely be called an evil person. "

If Murong Duo was so angry that he would have already killed him with a single palm, how would he be willing to argue with him? However, he had just retrieved the concealed weapon and was in a good mood. He saw that although Di Qing had torn down her clothes to cover her body, her posture was majestic and she was talking without fear under his cold gaze.

He looked at Leng Qing who was still holding onto his robe, looking miserable and weak. He could not help but think about what had happened to him when he was young. He said gently, "Child, your father will hurt you if you have a good fortune, but at the end of the day, you will hurt yourself. You don't have to be sad."

As she spoke to here, a petite and light figure seemed to appear in front of her, and she seemed to be calling out, "Brother Du, quickly come catch me. Woo woo … * You're bad... You're bad... I fell, but you didn't come to help me. " Letting out a long sigh, Murong Duo felt dejected.

The little girl of the past was now high up in the sky, behind a screen of political authority. Every word and action was related to the rise and fall of this country, and she could no longer return to the innocence of the past.

Murong Duo sighed and said: "When you grow up, there will be a day when you will understand that it is impossible to always ask others to help you when you are in trouble. If he wanted to live the life he wanted, he could only rely on himself. The road ahead is still very long, child. Life is more difficult in this world, you better pray for yourself. " His body swayed, his cold arms shook slightly. The room turned dark, and Murong Du shook the fire extinguisher and floated away.

Leng Qing called out, "Grandpa Immortal, Grandpa Immortal …" After continuously yelling a few times, he knew that Murong Duo wouldn't come back and he cried on the ground.

Di Qing hugged him gently, feeling pity in her heart. After comforting him for a long time, Leng Ning gradually stopped crying and asked, "Big brother Di, why don't you tell me why the deity didn't save father and Fourth Uncle?"

Di Qing smiled bitterly. He had listened carefully from Murong Duo's words. That old man Leng was greedy for small advantages to help the evil, and most likely had been harmed. As for why he did not save the Qi family, he did not know either.

He placed Leng Qing on the wooden board and said, "Little brother, there are some things that you don't understand yet, and I don't understand either. But you need to always remember, you are a boy.

Cold Blue walked to the door. The street was quiet. It was midnight.

A tall building in the distance was decorated with lanterns and decorations. It was bustling with activity. Waves of laughter and strings of bamboo floated in the wind. He had been walking through the streets selling chestnuts, and he knew that this was the largest Wachel Jade Inn in the city.

After staring blankly for a long time, Leng Qing said softly, "Brother Di, look at the people over there. They don't need to sell chestnuts, don't need to find your father, don't need to be afraid of others stealing his money, and they won't be slapped by the officials either, right?"

Hearing his ordinary tone, Di Qing walked over and saw that his face was filled with hatred and malice, which was not in accordance with his age. Leng Qing continued, "Brother Di, why do you think this is all happening?"

Di Qing had nothing to say. After a long silence, she went back to her bunk and lay down, thinking, "Let this child be quiet."

The moonlight was like water as a chilly wind assaulted his senses. Leng Qing stood alone at the door as she stared blankly at the pitch-black streets, as if she was lost in thought.

Murong Duo's cold and heartless nature, the vicious nature of a snake and scorpion, the greedy and vicious despicable behavior of the men, and the vile and dishonest way in which Old Lord Leng treated benefits with indifference made it seem as if his young heart had suddenly understood something, but it also seemed as if he hadn't understood anything at all.

When Diqing woke up, Leng Qing was already asleep beside him, the tears still fresh on her face. The sounds of all kinds of business outside the window reached his ears. The sun was shining brightly, and it was a good sunny day.

Di Qing stretched lazily and patted the cold shoulder, calling out, "Little brother, little brother, wake up."

Leng Qing sat up, and said in shock, "What?"

Di Qing's heart ached when she saw that Shi Yan was also panicking while he was sleeping. She said, "Little Brother, I am going now."

Leng Qing did not know why, but it was as if she met a family member when she saw him. She felt a sense of familiarity and whispered, "Brother Di, where are you going? "Can you accompany me to the government office to collect Daddy's corpse?"

"This?" Di Qing was rather hesitant, thinking, "When I face officials who evade my punishment, how can I have the right to send myself to the door?" Seeing the pleading look on his face, the other party didn't dare to refuse him. He didn't know what to say in response to the other party's request, so he remained silent.

Leng Qing thought that he was also afraid of his lord's ruthlessness and said, "Brother Di, don't make things difficult for us. Those men are furious, and I'm scared too. "

Di Qing's face turned red as she thought to herself, "I'm ashamed!" Having aroused his chivalrous heart, he said loudly, "Brother Di, I will just walk with you. Damn it, can you even be so fierce and eat people?"

Leng Qing was overjoyed. She jumped down to the ground and took out two steamed buns that she had taken from the table of the young girl in colorful clothes yesterday. She handed one to Di Qing and said, "Brother Di, this was given to me by a kind sister yesterday.

As he said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, but remembering Di Qing's words last night, he tried not to cry and continued, "But Daddy didn't come back yesterday, so I just messed around at home. Now I know Daddy will never come back."

Di Qing said, "Little brother, don't cry, this is good. What's your name? Let's go and collect your father's corpse right now. "

After Leng Qing said her name, the two of them sat down to eat their steamed buns. Then, they walked out of the manor side by side.

When he arrived at the yamen's entrance, two of the officials were standing on either side of a signboard, shouting, "Wa, you two stinking scum, what are you doing? "In a bit, stay behind and protect the lord when you return. Don't embarrass yourself here, and quickly scram to the side."

Leng Qing took two steps back as she looked at the two men each carrying a sword at their waist.

Di Qing answered, "We are from Old Lord Leng's family …" He pointed at Leng Qing and said, "This young brother is the son of Old Lord Leng. He is here to collect father's corpse."

The two officials looked at each other and said, "Wait a moment." He turned around and went in to report.

At this moment a crowd of people was rushing around the corner, and the pedestrians were making way for them. In the middle was an official, tall and handsome, with a moustache that covered his mouth, and a man in his forties. Wearing a brocade and embroidered group robe, a pair of gold lines smeared green boots.

When Di Qing saw this momentum, she retreated to the side and thought to herself, "This is the Great Guardian?"

The official glanced at Di Qing, saw his disheveled clothes, but he still looked strong and strong, and praised him: "What a man!" He spurred his horse forward and asked, "Who is this man? "Why are you here?"

The guard at the door quickly came forward and bowed: "Sir, these two are the relatives of the criminals who came to visit us." He turned around and shouted to Di Leng and Di Li, "Why aren't you kowtowing when you see the Lord Guardian?"

Seeing that Di Qing wanted to bow, he reached out his hand to stop her and scolded the eunuch: "You servants are used to being cruel and despotic, are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

The eunuch hurriedly kowtowed and said, "This humble one dares not!"

That lord humphed and glanced at Di Qing again before leading the crowd into the mansion.

Initially, he had wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for them by blackmailing the two of them for a few silver coins. But at this moment, he couldn't wait for the two of them to take Old Man Leng's corpse and leave. He then led the two of them to the death cell to retrieve it.

When Leng Qing saw the miserable state his father's corpse was in, she could not help but burst into tears.

When Gao Dazhi heard the news and came to know that the Lord Protector had returned, he thought to himself: "We need to deal with this old man's corpse quickly, and don't let any of his branches grow loose." After a few fake words of consolation, a prisoner pushed a broken cart over.

A few of them quickly placed Old Lord Leng's body on the cart. Seeing that Leng Qing was still crying, they started to get anxious and shouted at him.

Di Qing lowered her head and did not dare to say a word. She pulled on Leng Qing's collar and pushed the cart out of the mansion, heading out of the city.

Along the way, the pedestrians were pointing at each other, filled with sorrow and desolation. They were not in the mood to distinguish what had been said. When they arrived at the cemetery outside the city, Di Qing went to the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain to borrow two sets of iron tools. The two of them then buried Old Man Leng.

Di Qing only said that Leng Qing would definitely cry again. Who knew that Leng Qing would not cry from beginning to end. After he was done, he kowtowed and said, "Brother Di, I will not cry. I will never cry again!"

Di Qing didn't feel good. She felt that it would be better to just listen to him cry and have a good time. Just as she wanted to say a few words of consolation, Leng Qing's body swayed before collapsing to the ground.

Di Qing was quick with her eyes and hands. She grabbed Leng Qing with her arms and shouted, "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Leng Qing murmured, "Brother Di, I-I feel terrible." Di Qing reached out and touched his forehead with her hand. The touch felt like a burning flame. The child managed to suppress his pain. In addition to last night's cold, he was finally unable to hold on and fell ill.
