"You... know each other?"

Wang Fugui turned to look at Shangguan Yuxi.

"I don't know."

Shangguan Yuxi quickly denied it.

After saying that, he looked at Old Man Li with a puzzled expression.

"Little girl, you are not from our Huangyan Village."

After a long while, Old Man Li muttered to himself.

"no."

Shangguan Yuxi shook her head.

Looking at the weird old man in front of her, Shangguan Yuxi really couldn't figure out when she had seen him.

"Shangguan Zhanjun, who are you?"

After a long while, Old Man Li looked at Shangguan Yuxi and asked.

A pair of cloudy eyes seemed to be looking at others through the person in front of them.

Wang Fugui looked at the two of them with a confused look.

He couldn't understand a word of what these two people were talking about.

However, when Shangguan Yuxi heard this name, her body trembled suddenly.

"Yes...it's my father."

When Shangguan Yuxi heard this name again, she felt a pain in her heart.

"It looks like, it looks like, it's really similar."

As Old Man Li spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

This was something Wang Fugui didn't expect.

"Uncle Li, what happened?"

"How do you know Yuxi's father?"

Wang Fugui asked.

"Son, your father... he died miserably."

After saying that, Old Man Li burst into tears.

"You...you know my father..."

Shangguan Yuxi looked at Old Man Li in shock.

"I know, of course I know."

"It's all my fault. I can only watch from a distance and can't do anything to help."

"They dragged your father out of the cabin. Outside, a group of people kicked and beat him."

"They didn't know what they wanted to know from your father. Your father wouldn't tell you, so they pulled out his nails."

"After struggling for half a month, I still couldn't ask anything. In the end, the group of people seemed to have completely lost their patience, so..."

When Old Man Li said this, he broke down in tears.

"Just what?"

Shangguan Yuxi continued to ask.

At this time, her body was shaky and it seemed that she would fall down in the next moment.

Wang Fugui saw this and quickly supported her.

"In the end, your father died on a tree outside the cabin."

"They seemed to have lost their temper. When they saw your father dying, the group of people were frightened and ran away without a trace."

Old Man Li said, wiping the tears on his face with his shabby sleeves.

"It's the tree outside the door. I'll take you there."

With that said, he turned around and walked out the door.

Shangguan Yuxi followed him staggeringly.

"Here it is, this cedar tree."

As Old Man Li spoke, he walked forward and stroked the tree carefully.

The cedar tree had grown very thick at this time, and it didn't look like it did back then.

"This is where Mr. Shangguan died."

Old Man Li muttered to himself.

Wang Fugui stepped forward and came under the cedar tree.

Under the tree, he found some candles and incense ashes.

And there are rotten apples.

"Uncle Li, this..."

Wang Fugui looked puzzled.

It's a bit strange to see these things in this wilderness.

"I put it there."

Old Man Li breathed out slowly, and then squatted down under the tree.

"Mr. Shangguan is a good man. When I was herding sheep in the back mountains, I accidentally stepped on the air and fell off the cliff."

"It was Mr. Shangguan who saved my life when he went out for exploration and carried me out of the mountain. I received medical treatment and saved my leg."

Old Man Li said and rubbed his leg with his hand.

"But I can only watch them torture Mr. Shangguan. I can't do anything."

"There were many of them, and I was only one person. I could only witness the whole tragedy, but I was unable to save Mr. Shangguan."

"Over the years, I have come here every month to pay homage to Mr. Shangguan. Although I know that he is no longer here and it is useless for me to do this, I just want to comfort my heart with this."

Old Man Li said and wiped the tears that came from his eyes with his hand.

At this time, Shangguan Yuxi had completely lost her mind.

She could no longer hold on to her shaky body and fell to the ground.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you, and I will not let the enemies of the past go unpunished."

Shangguan Yuxi was so angry that she knelt under the cedar tree and swore.

"Yes...it's Zhao Dahu."

Looking at Shangguan Yuxi's back, Old Man Li finally spoke.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuxi's shoulders shook suddenly.

"I recognized him, it was him. I was hiding far away, but I could see clearly that it was the person he was leading."

Old Man Li continued.

…

Half an hour later.

Shangguan Yuxi has sorted out her emotions.

She carefully put away the rubber notebook.

"let's go."

At this time, Shangguan Yuxi's eyes flashed with determination.

It can be seen that in this half hour, she had a lot of ideological struggles in her heart.

The three of them walked together and returned along the way they came.

With the guidance of the old sheepherder, the three of them took the shortcut back to the village.

"Yuxi, what do you do?"

The two have met twice, but Wang Fugui is not very clear about Shangguan Yuxi's origins.

Along the way, he had some guesses about Shangguan Yuxi's identity, and he became more curious.

"I'm a public official."

Shangguan Yuxi didn't explain that much and spoke simply and neatly.

Wang Fugui was stunned.
