Ruyi shook her head: "I don't know. But it must be some kind of poison that disturbs the mind. Just imagine, this poison enters the sister-in-law's head and causes her to hallucinate, allowing her to go to the kitchen without realizing it.
She took a kitchen knife and killed her husband who was sleeping next to her. Who would doubt his wife? The farmer brother must have been unprepared. After the sister-in-law killed the eldest brother, she dismembered him, then cut open her own belly and cut off the eldest brother’s body.
He sewed his head in. Finally, he walked to the latrine and hanged himself..."
Bai Qinghan stopped and trembled all over: "Mr. Ji has no grievances against them, so why would he kill them? Could it be that he thought that we would stay in this room at night, and this deadly poison was used to deal with us?"
"
Ruyi thought for a while and said: "It is possible. But based on what Mr. Ji said before, I don't think he is eager to harm me. He may just want to stimulate me by killing this couple."
Bai Qinghan said angrily: "You are a black-hearted person. If I want to see him, I will definitely not make it easy for him!"
Ruyi smiled bitterly and said: "It's good to see him. You and I plus Da Lan will never suffer too much in a fight. But you also know this along the way that he will never show up to talk to you.
Beat him, he was very thoughtful and hid in the dark, using poisonous insects and tricks to hurt people... By the time we found out, only the body was left, and he had escaped, and we don't know where he went. It's easy to hide with open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows.
We must be careful next time.”
Bai Qinghan nodded and said: "He won't even let strangers go. From now on, we have to avoid towns and go to the mountains. This way we won't hurt others."
Ruyi nodded: "Yes. But thinking about it from another perspective, our strategy was successful. At least it means that Mr. Ji is following us, and my sworn brother and the others are safe for the time being."
The two discussed for a while, sighed again, buried the bodies of the farmer and his wife alive, erected tombstones, and left the village before dawn.
I used Qinggong all the way to the north, eating wild fruits and game when I was hungry, quenching my thirst with water from streams and springs, and resting in ruined temples and deserted villages when I was tired. I was tired but had a little fun.
They deliberately avoided towns and villages, using the mountains and forests as cover, and traveled carefully. After walking for two days, they could not see any trace of Mr. Ji.
With Bai Qinghan by his side, Ruyi felt very satisfied.
Under the night, taking advantage of the starlight, Bai Qinghan was half lying on the grass, holding a piece of dogtail grass in the corner of his mouth, opening his mouthpiece lightly, and sang an extremely ancient song - distant mountains, distant mountains, far away; stars
, stars, far away. Grain Rain, Grain Rain, tides; Bailu, white dew, boundless.
His voice was not loud, and his distant voice floated under the vast starry sky and on the grass where the breeze moved.
Ruyi also lay on the ground, closed her eyes, and listened to him singing quietly. This was the first time she heard him sing so focused, and the first time she saw him so calm.
When he closed his mouth and swallowed the trembling end of the sound, he was surprised to realize that tears were already oozing out of the corners of his eyes.
Thousands of years have passed since he last heard this song. This song is often sung by Chang Yi...
He fell into memories with the singing, and he seemed to really see Chang Yi's smile and feel the warmth from Chang Yi's palms.
"It's so nice." Ruyi said lightly. "I really didn't expect that our Mr. Bai has such ability. Who taught you such a nice song? When you are free, I will teach you too.
Can you teach me?"
Ruyi's voice pulled Bai Qinghan back from the endless memories. He turned his head and looked at Ruyi, the expectant eyes, the bright eyes, the fragrance that intoxicated him...
He blinked his eyes, calmed down, and put all the memories into his heart. Changyi, Changyi, it's time to pass. Ruyi is what he really wants, and what he should grasp...
He stretched out his hand, gently held Ruyi's hand, and said, "I'll teach you what to do. If you want to hear it later, I'll sing it to you again."
