Chapter 69 Cheng Deyi
After listening to Su Jing'an's words, Xiao Lian and the boatman stood up and saluted, "Receive the order."
The boatman seemed to be leaving, but Xiao Lian stood there. Su Jingan looked at Xiao Lian and asked, "Do you have something to do?"
Xiao Lian said, "My daughter has always felt unhappy in recent days. I wonder if the amount of the antidote is insufficient?"
Su Jing closed her eyes, "I understand."
Xiao quickly bowed and left.
"Sect Master, please take medicine." A beautiful maid came in from outside with a tray.
Several beautiful maids knelt down one after another, one took out the medicine bowl from the tray and raised it over his head, one carried a bowl of water on the tray, and the other carried a golden bowl on the tray.
Su Jingan drank the medicine, frowned, rinsed his mouth with the water from the bowl, and spit it in the golden bowl. A beautiful maid standing next to him quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with the brocade hand in his hand. Su Jingan touched the maid's hand holding the brocade hand, and touched the maid's chest twice, and said, "You all go out, I'll sleep for a while." The maid giggled twice and retreated with the others.
Wen Xuan grinned and thought to himself, "Who is this!"
Wen Xuan felt the cuffs being pinched began to move towards the door, so he followed him and left the room with the maids. Lin Yan left the yard gate, obviously trying to walk towards the door, but next to a pool of water, he saw Xiao Lian whispering with the boatman.
Wen Xuan sank the cuffs of Lin Yan, and the two stopped. Wen Xuan grabbed Lin Yan's cuffs and headed towards Xiao Lian.
As I got closer, I heard Xiao Lian say, "Senior Brother, my life is just like this. I don't want to be a good person. I just want to live without pain and die without pain. As for the others, what does it have to do with me!"
Chuanjia said, "Xiao Lian, I have contacted those two young masters several times. They are not as arrogant as the sect leader said. Don't do evil, don't violate the law of heaven!"
Xiao Lian snorted, "Senior Brother, what ecstasy medicine have you taken! We grew up with our adoptive father. We have never done good things and have done bad things many times. Why? After a few days of going to Lin, we changed our sexual desire?"
The boatman looked a little embarrassed, "Xiao Lian, I don't want to deceive myself, nor do you want you to do evil again. Let's leave Su's family."
Xiao Lian's face showed a desperate expression, "The adoptive father used medicine to control me. There was no antidote. I was just a walking corpse. I died after only three days of bleeding from seven orifices. Where should I go with you? Don't use your cheap feelings to bribe me. I don't like you." Xiao Lian changed his contempt expression and asked, "Do you know who the adoptive father is in the Lin family? Is his news accurate? I saw Wen Xuan last night and found no trace of Linghua."
"Xiao Lian, give up Linghua. Don't kill anyone anymore." The boatman was almost crying. He stretched out his hands to hug Xiao Lian, but was pushed away by Xiao Lian.
"With Linghua, I can detoxify my own poison and get the benefits from my adoptive father. Wen Xuan must kill me!" Xiao Lian gritted his teeth and looked a little ferocious.
The boatman left dejectedly. Wen Xuan was carried by his sleeve and walked out of the gate with the boatman. The guards and monks guarding the gate scolded the boatman, "Go away quickly! Don't block the way here."
The boatman bowed and walked with a sad face.
The boatman first turned into an alley near the Su family, then turned to a fork in the alley, and then turned a few more turns before walking to a dilapidated wooden house. The door was not locked and opened with a slight push.
The boatman entered the house and wanted to close the door, but found that the door could not be closed.
Someone held his wrist and sent it into the room. The door closed itself. The boatman was shocked and fell to the ground in a hurry and asked loudly, "Who!"
Wen Xuan left Jue and looked at the boatman with a smile, "Banjia, do you want me to sing another song for you!"
Although the boatman was surprised, he was not as frightened as before. He got up and bowed to Wen Xuan and said, "Young Master Wen." He then bowed to Lin Yan, who had just passed by Wen Xuan, and said, "Young Master Lin."
Lin Yan held the sword in his hand and stood in front of the boatman, "Nail?"
The boatman nodded shyly. He seemed to have plucked up the courage and looked at Lin Yan, saying, "If the second young master doesn't dislike it, can you have a cup of tea in the humble house?"
There are only a few in the wooden house and a bed.
The two sat down, and the boatman looked for the clay pot at home, leaving only a few pieces of coarse tea. Wen Xuan saw it and said, "Coarse tea is digested, it is best to drink it now."
The boatman cooked coarse tea, served it in a coarse porcelain bowl, and served it to Lin Yan and Wen Xuan.
"The two young men, the humble house is simple and the greetings are not good."
"It's okay." Lin Yan spoke. Wen Xuan smiled.
Wen Xuan looked at the boatman without any malice, "What's your name? You can't always call you boatman, you should ask as soon as you get on the boat."
The boatman lowered his head slightly, "My name is Cheng Deyi."
Wen Xuan smiled again, "This child is so festive."
Cheng Deyi didn't even raise his head and said, "At the beginning, my family was poor, so I sent me to Changzhou Su's family to learn arts, and I had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Once, Master Su found out that I was beaten and didn't say anything, so he sent me to Lin's family to do nails."
"I have never seen you." Lin Yan suddenly interrupted him.
"Second Young Master, I am mainly responsible for burning fire and harvesting firewood under the kitchen. You have never seen me, it's normal." Cheng looked at Lin Yan timidly, lowered his head and continued.
"Who are you in Lin's family?" Lin Yan asked seriously.
"I, I, I will die if I say it." Cheng Deyi's tone became even more timid. His hands also held the hem of the clothes tightly, as if he could squeeze out the hem of the clothes.
"If you don't say it, I'll kill you now." Wen Xuan's mouth twitched, and a fierce aura rushed over.
"I, I said." Cheng Deyi glanced at Lin Yan with a look of her expressionless face again.
"I am in the Lin family, and I am mainly responsible for inquiring about the news about Sect Master Lin and Mr. Lin Zizhen." Wen Xuan thought for a while and asked, "Is there no Mr. Lin?"
Cheng Deyi seemed to confirm it in his memory and answered decisively, "No. Perhaps it is the task of other nails."
"Who should I contact with in the Lin family?" Lin Yan asked, with a sense of solemnity in his words.
Cheng Deyi's voice trembled, "I have been responsible for delivering the news to Muzhou Wharf before. It was only this year that I was ordered to contact Qi Nian, spread the news about Su's family and the news about Lin's family."
Wen Xuan asked Lin Yan, "Who is Qi Nian?"
Lin Yan turned his face and said, "Cui Yongchang's confidant." Wen Xuan nodded.
"Do you know the content of the message?" Lin Yan asked Cheng Deyi.
"I know the verbal message, but I dare not open it if it is written in the letter." Cheng said sincerely.
"Why did you appear at Muzhou Wharf if you don't go to burn the fire?" Wen Xuan asked. Cheng Deyi recalled and said, "That night, I received a message asking me to go to Muzhou Wharf in the middle of the night, and there was a prepared pleasure boat, so I could find a way to carry the second young master and report along the way. Someone exchanged news with me on the way."
Wen Xuan nodded, "Your face doesn't look like a nail, it's really suitable for a nail!" Wen Xuan said with a smile.
Cheng Deyi "punched" and knelt down in front of Lin Yan, kneeling down like garlic, "Mr. Lin Er, in the past few years, I knew that I should not do evil for Master Su. The Lin family is noble and has a noble character. I also want to be an innocent good person. Mr. Lin Er, forgive me!"
"Where is your family? Why are you the only one?" Wen Xuanshou asked seriously after laughing at his face just now.
"I went to Lin's family to do nails, so I told my parents that I went out to do business and never came back. This time, you two returned to Changzhou, so I could only come back with me. As soon as I saw that my parents had already died, my heart was cold." As he said that, Cheng Deyi cried, "I want to die very much, but, second young master, I think that in the Lin family, I still live like a human being. But, I, I don't want to make nails anymore."
"Pick it up, go back." Lin Yan pulled down a jade token from his waist and "find Xiaoyaozi."
Unlimited light flashed in Cheng Deyi's eyes, tears kept pouring out, and he kowtowed again, "Thank you, Master 2, Master 2!" He held the palms of the jade-shaped tablet in both hands, and covered his chest.
