Taoxiang River lies in Yangquan City. It has a beautiful legend. When the river rises, the flow flows straight down from west to east, breaking down the river dam and swallowing up large areas of fields. Even if people rebuild the dam year after year, it will not help. But people's perseverance and perseverance finally moved Prince Yu from the upper world. He cast a spell to form five bends in the river, protecting the dam and avoiding flood disasters.
After hearing this legend, Ling'er kept thinking that the Hundred Poison God Sect was doing all kinds of mischief with its power, and her own power was too small, but as long as she didn't get discouraged and didn't give up, she would one day be able to defeat the powerful evil forces. .
"Dong-dong" the knock on the door sounded.
A delicate girl walked into the room carrying some soup. She is Dongfang Hong, the second lady of Dongfang Villa on the Taoxiang River. Dongfang Hong smiled and said, "Miss Ling'er, it's time to take medicine."
"Thank you, Sister Dongfang." Ling'er said gratefully, "Not only did you help me, you also took good care of me. ."
"You're welcome, it's fate that we met by chance. My sister looks much better than when she woke up this morning." Dongfang Hong sat down beside her bed.
Actually, Ling'er has always had a question in her heart, how a weak woman like Dongfang Hong who didn't even know martial arts rescued herself from the Hundred Poison God Cult, but she has never been able to find a suitable person. Opportunity to ask.
Linger took the soup and drank it.
"Dad said you suffered internal injuries. It's best to rest in the villa for two more days before going to Luoyang." Dongfang Hong said.
"The injury doesn't matter, I still want to get on the road quickly." Ling'er insisted. In fact, she was telling the truth. Her internal injuries were almost healed. Someone must have helped her heal them.
"Then at least rest here for one more night." Dongfang Hong really didn't want Ling'er to go on the road injured.
Suddenly, a maid ran in from outside and shouted, "Miss, something is wrong with the young master!"
"What?" Dongfang Hong rushed out of the house anxiously, Ling'er also followed.
There was a stretcher parked in the courtyard, with a body lying on it, covered with a white cloth, and there was still some blood on the white cloth.
"Brother" Dongfang Hong rushed over, fell on the body and burst into tears, "What's going on?"
Master Dongfang stood aside sadly, with tears streaming down his face.
A domestic slave said tremblingly, "The eldest young master went to Yihongyuan last night and never came back. This morning, the villain was planning to pick up the eldest young master, but when he passed by the alley, he saw the eldest young master lying on the bed. The ground is covered in blood, and he has been holding his breath for a long time." After finishing speaking, the slave lowered his head.
"What evil has my Dongfang family done? God wants to treat me like this?" Mr. Dongfang shouted sadly.
"Daddy" Dongfang Hong threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
"Hong'er, your brother's heart has been ripped out," Master Dongfang said sadly.
Dongfang Hong fell to the ground sadly.
Ling'er stepped forward and slowly opened the white cloth on the corpse, and sure enough, there was a wound on the heart of the deceased.There is now a big hole, and there is a lancet stuck in the forehead of the deceased, and the knife coat is obviously black. Ling'er was startled, took off the lancet, looked at the edge of the knife and said, "He was hit on the vital part of the head by a flying knife, killing him with one blow. There was not much pain at that time."
Dongfang Hong cried more and more and became sadder. , shouting, "Which cruel person did this?"
Ling'er thought to herself, "It's the Hundred Poison God Sect again. Could it be that Master Dongfang's murder is related to me?" Thinking of this, she swayed and took two steps back. Only then can I stand firm.
The eldest young master Dongfang passed away, and the entire Dongfang Villa was very busy.
They carried the empty coffin to the street, poured money into the well to buy water, and then used the water they bought to bathe the young master and then bury him.
Ling'er has always been by Dongfang Hong's side.
Dongfang Hong said with tears, "Although my eldest brother has a wife and six concubines, he has not left a son and a half for the Dongfang family, so why did he leave?"
"Sister Dongfang, my condolences." ." Ling'er comforted Dongfang Hong.
"My younger brother has been frail and sick since he was a child, so how can he continue the family lineage of the Dongfang family? I see my father is sad about this, and I am afraid that the old man will not be able to bear it." Dongfang Hong became more and more sad as he talked.
"Ling'er has never heard my sister mention the third young master. Why don't you let me diagnose and treat him?" Ling'er said.
"Thank you, sister." Dongfang Hong held Ling'er's hand and said gratefully.
"With good care, the third young master's health is still expected to recover." Ling'er said after diagnosing the third young master Dongfang Yan.
Master Dongfang is not optimistic. He said, "Yan'er was born with a dystocia and was born weak. He has consulted famous doctors, but there is still no improvement."
"Please give Master Dongfang a try." Ling'er's prescription," Ling'er said, handing a recipe to Master Dongfang.
"Thank you Miss Gan, I will let my servants get the medicine now." Mr. Dongfang said, "However, I believe in the theory of happiness."
The mourning hall has been set up. , seven young and beautiful women, dressed in linen and with white headscarves on their heads, were kneeling there.
Ling'er knew that they were the wives and concubines of Master Dongfang, but the strange thing was that there was no trace of sadness on the faces of these women.
After the worship service, Linger returned to the guest room.
At this time, Dongfang Hong knocked on the door and walked in with some things.
"This is my sword" Ling'er said in surprise.
"These are your things too." Dongfang Hong handed the sword and another black bag to Ling'er, and she said, "A lot of things happened in the villa, and I won't let you stay longer. "Oh my God."
"No, Sister Dongfang, I plan to stay a little longer to help the third young master recover his health, so that I can stay with you." Ling'er knew that Dongfang Hong must be very helpless now.
Dongfang Hong grabbed Ling'er gratefully and said, "It's been a tiring day. You should rest early."
"Yes." Ling'er nodded.
Then Dongfanghong walked out.
Linger was pleasantly surprisedStroking the sword, it was a family heirloom sword given to her by Ji Cangyu, and she thought she had lost it. Then she opened the bag and poured out the contents. Among them were her long-lost silver needle wallet and a few ball-shaped objects. Ling'er guessed that these were smoke bombs and thought, "These are not mine." She picked up another small cloth bag and opened it. She was shocked that it turned out to be the Lingxiao Gold Token inside
"What's going on?" Ling'er put the Lingxiao Gold Token and several other things into her arms and couldn't wait to ask Dongfang Hong. She saved herself.
