Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 439: One Kill at a Time
--revenge--
She wanted to break her head, but she couldn't figure it out: Was it because Hu Qi had concealed himself so well before that he didn't notice it? Or was something happening in the middle that made him suddenly look like this?
At this time, she only hoped that Toto had left the temple. After all, he was so brave that no one could match him. How could he die so easily in the hands of those men in black!
She couldn't think about it, and she didn't dare to think about the worst outcome!
She kept forcing herself to tell herself that Toto must still be alive! She must recover from her injuries and find him as soon as possible!
Moreover, she also wanted to ask Hu Qi face to face how long he had been playing tricks on her! How many things he had concealed!
She took off her shoes and socks and found that her ankle was swollen like a steamed bun.
Just at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, which sounded like a large number of people.
Lu Ning was startled, walked to the temple door and looked out:
There was a vast expanse in the distance, and the mountains and rivers were wide and long. At the foot of the barren mountain, a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers appeared, carrying a coffin.
Lu Ning was startled and couldn't help but wonder: How come someone from the government office came here carrying a coffin?
Who is the person lying in the coffin? Why not be buried in Sanshang instead of being buried in this ruined temple?
Seeing them getting closer and closer.
Lu Ning couldn't let Lu Ning think too much. She didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend, so she decided to hide first and observe for a while.
But she looked back and saw that there was no place for her in this ruined temple that was leaking from all directions!
At this time, the magistrate of Longyou County had already gone up the mountain with his government servants to support the coffin. Yu Fengjin, dressed in plain clothes, followed at the end of the team with a solemn expression.
Although knowing that Lu Ning was still alive made a stone in his heart drop to the ground. But Toto's tragic death made this stone in his heart smash a hole in his heart.
He has known Lu Ning for a long time, and he is very clear about the relationship between Toto and Lu Ning. Although he does not know exactly what happened at Xuanqing Temple last night. Chinese website
But seeing Toto's body and the tragic scene at Xuanqing Temple, he could imagine that Lu Ning must have experienced an extremely terrifying and heartbreaking night.
She must have watched Toto being hacked to death, but for some reason was unable to rescue him and could only escape. This incident made her feel more uncomfortable than letting her die!
She hurts, he hurts even more!
But he knew her pain, but he couldn't accompany her in his true identity and help her share the pain, which made him blame himself.
But then she thought about it, maybe the person she didn't want to see the most right now was herself! Maybe in her heart, the harm she had done to her was no less than the harm caused by Toto's death.
After everyone entered the ruined temple, the government officials carefully placed the coffin on the ground. This sandalwood coffin was particularly conspicuous among the thin-skinned coffins.
To these government officials, this was just an extremely ordinary corpse. It was the same as they had seen many times before, and they didn't have much emotion.
But Yu Fengjin took out the handkerchief and wiped the coffin, murmuring in her heart: "Brother Toto, sleep well! I will take you home!"
He sighed, and when he stood up, he found that in the corner of the ruined temple, on the straw next to his feet, a piece had collapsed, and there was a blood stain next to the collapse.
His eyes were blazing and he immediately asked: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, does anyone come here on weekdays?"
The county magistrate curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "As you can see, the wind is leaking everywhere, it is far away from the village, and it is a village, and homeless people are not willing to come here!"
Yu Fengjin pointed to the blood stains on the straw and said solemnly: "This is the evidence that they have been here!"
The officers and soldiers beside him looked at each other in shock and had to walk around the ruined temple, but found nothing.
The county magistrate sighed and said: "I can understand your mood. But you have also seen that you can see the whole place at a glance, and there is no hiding place at all. Even if the woman really came, she must have left!"
Yu Fengjin's urgent gaze suddenly fell on the coffins.
He walked over and was about to open it, but was immediately stopped by the county magistrate: "Do this
Inappropriate! Although they are all lonely ghosts who died in a foreign land without anyone claiming them, they can be regarded as resting here. It would be bad for them if you open the coffin and let them see the light! Besides, no woman dares to enter.
Here, let alone hiding in this coffin!"
Although Yu Fengjin had doubts, she still had to let go.
Seeing his sad expression, the county magistrate quickly reassured him: "Don't worry, I have ordered my men to search the whole city with the portrait. If you are worried, let's go to the mountain and look for it again!"
While he was hesitating, an officer and soldier ran in: "Let me report to Mr. Gu, outside the door we found the hoofprints of a horse coming here, and a bunch of hoofprints of a horse leaving. The horse was running towards the town!"
"Why did they go to the town?" Yu Fengjin and the county magistrate looked at each other.
The officer and soldier scratched their heads and said carefully: "They must have been seriously injured and have to go back for treatment!"
"Let's go, let's catch up!" Yu Fengjin rushed out the door without saying a word.
The others also left Yizhuang like the wind and quickly followed the horse's hoof prints to catch up.
When the group of people walked away, a black figure fell gently from the roof.
Mu Qianqian looked around and ducked into the temple.
When she took a quick look, the temple was empty, her heart sank.
She quickly put down the baggage on her shoulders and shouted around: "Lu Ning? Lu Ning? Where are you?"
I shouted several times but no one responded.
Mu Qianqian fell down on the haystack, and said to herself in panic: "Oh my god, could it be that Lu Ning left me and left alone? But where can she go with all her injuries? It can't be there.
Revenge, right?"
While I was thinking wildly, a strange sound suddenly came from the temple.
Mu Qianqian's face froze, and all the hairs on her body stood up.
She turned her head very slowly and discovered that the lid of a coffin in the corner was slowly moving.
She broke out in a cold sweat and her teeth kept chattering. She wanted to run away, but her legs no longer obeyed her.
She covered her mouth in horror, looked at someone in horror, and slowly sat up from the coffin.
"Oh my God, ghost! Help!" Mu Qianqian, who had always been bold and bold, was so frightened that she started to cry loudly.
"Who are you calling a ghost?" came an extremely weak voice.
Mu Qianqian was startled, thinking that the voice sounded familiar. She immediately stopped crying and turned around to look around.
Lu Ning, who was bloodless, disheveled and with blurry eyes, was slowly crawling out of the coffin.
"Why is it you! You scared me to death!"
Mu Qianqian shed tears and immediately ran over, helped Lu Ning out of the coffin, and helped Lu Ning sit down on the grass beside him.
Lu Ning leaned against the wall and said out of breath: "After I woke up... I saw the officers and soldiers chasing me. I couldn't move, so I had to hide in the coffin..."
Mu Qianqian took out the scissors and cut her clothes open while complaining: "You are such a brave woman! You even dare to drill into a coffin. Is there any place in this world that you dare not go to?"
Lu Ning twitched the corners of his lips and said expressionlessly: "The dead are all bones, what else is there to be afraid of?"
Knowing that Lu Ning was in a bad mood, Mu Qianqian said eloquently: "I didn't abandon you on purpose. I thought you were so seriously injured and there was no food or drink here, so I rushed back to the city risking my life.
Stole... no, no, bought some medicine, clothes and food and came back!"
Lu Ning picked up a piece of clothing and saw that the sleeves were worn white and the elbows were patched, so he put it down silently - it was obviously stolen.
Seeing that Lu Ning was too silent, Mu Qianqian continued to talk while applying medicine to Lu Ning's wounds: "Actually, I came back a long time ago, but when I saw officers and soldiers in the distance, I drove the horse away and hid myself.
I went up to the roof and waited until they left before coming down."
When the medicine was sprinkled on the wound, Lu Ning gasped in pain, and a thin layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.
Mu Qianqian was so frightened that she panicked: "Does it hurt? I'm sorry, please bear with it!"
"No...it's okay
Son!" Lu Ning closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth and said, "Go on, leave me alone..."
However, the huge pain caused her to faint again.
Mu Qianqian was startled. She reached out to check her breathing and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Lu Ning had just fainted.
She pushed Lu Ning, and when she saw that she was completely unconscious, she actually laughed: "That's great, then I can let go of my hands and feet, and you won't feel the pain!"
With that said, she rolled up her sleeves and began to deal with Lu Ning's wounds.

After giving Lu Ning good medicine and changing her clothes, it was already late at night.
Mu Qianqian had no time to eat the cheated food, so she lay down on the hay and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but in a daze, she heard a noise, and then she was covered with a piece of clothing.
She groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Lu Ning wiping a long knife, carrying it behind her back, and walked out the door.
"It's so late, where are you going?" Mu Qianqian sat up, yawned, and asked lazily.
Lu Ning froze, turned around, and gave her an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry for waking you up. You go to sleep quickly, I'll go out to do some errands and I'll be back in a while!"
Mu Qianqian nodded and was about to lie down and continue sleeping when suddenly she remembered Lu Ning's behavior and jumped up.
She rushed to Lu Ning in the blink of an eye and blocked her way: "You... you are not going to take revenge, are you?"
Lu Ning frowned, secretly clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth: "Those people killed my brother No. 100, and then... killed Toto, how could I not take revenge! After I leave, you leave quickly
Come on! This matter has nothing to do with you and cannot be implicated!"
Mu Qianqian opened her hands, grabbed the doorframes on both sides, and said hurriedly: "No, you can't go! This is all Hu Qi's conspiracy. Those people are just following orders. Now, you kill them with your own hands.
Hu Qi, you have already avenged your brothers, why do you need to go again!"
Lu Ning's face darkened, and he said solemnly: "I watched Toto die under the sword of those people, and I will not let anyone go!"
