Two corpses that were burned to the point of being unrecognizable were buried in the soil.

Qiu Jiang put down the shovel, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at the small grave in front of her. The sign read "The Tomb of the Qiu couple in Lanting" on it.

The wind blew the leaves rustled, and the afternoon sun fell down hotly, pouring the wine from the jar into the soil, and the wine quickly evaporated.

She just knelt at the grave, one after another, upside down.

The midsummer is steaming, and the aroma of wine makes people dizzy.

She counted silently in her heart, and when she counted until 3,296, she finally couldn't hold on, and her eyes flashed and she fainted.

When I woke up again, I was already on a hardwood bed.

The room was lit with ice musk incense, and occasionally the melodious sound of bells and drums came from afar, as if they were in a fairyland.

Qiu Jiang slowly got up and saw his feet wrapped in gauze. She didn't know what medicine she was applying, it was a little cold and unspeakable.

She drew her slippers and pushed open the door. Outside the door was a secluded courtyard. There was a huge sycamore tree in the middle of the courtyard. There was a short table under the sycamore tree, and a guqin was placed on it.

There is nothing else other than that.

The courtyard gate was closed and the wall was towering. It was reflected in Qiu Jiang's eyes and a wave of turmoil arose.

A scar in my memory burst without any warning, and my body became cold.

Qiu Jiang walked around and finally returned to the guqin. Then she found a piece of paper pressing under the guitar with a word written on it - "Play".

What does this mean?

The other party wants her to play the piano?

Qiu Jiang thought about it, sat down in front of the piano, debugged the strings for a few times, and played the song "Bodhi Pure Heart Song".

After the song was finished, the gate of the courtyard opened from outside. Two young girls in silver armor walked in and bowed to her and said, "Please come with us, girl."

Qiu Jiang got up and followed them out.

Outside the yard is a dense bamboo forest, which is very shady during the Little Summer Day. Walking in it, you can feel the breeze blowing on your face, the light fragrance is full, and it is indescribable to feel comfortable.

After walking through the path covered with smooth pebbles, a corner of the Red Building suddenly appeared in front of it. There is a small waterfall behind the building, about thirty feet high, falling down, forming a bay of streams, winding around the Red Building, ding ding dong dong, quite interesting.

There were a few green lotus leaves floating on the stream, and the girls in silver armor took Qiujiang to step on the lotus leaves. Qiujiang was a little confused, but after stepping on it, they found that the lotus leaves were fake and carved. They were lifelike and replaced the bridge they should have, making them unique and interesting.

After passing through the stream, there are twelve-level white jade steps, and the Red Building is above it. The building is two high and covers a wide area, with green tiles and red eaves and red pillars, which are so exquisite.

There was a stone table in front of the door, and there was a game of chess on the table. Half of the chess was played, and it seemed that the black piece was about to win.

There was also a piece of paper under the chessboard, which read "Explanation".

Qiu Jiang didn't talk much nonsense. After pondering for a while, he picked up the white zi and took a step.

With a click, the door of the Red Building opened.

The girls in the silver armor made a gesture of invitation.

Qiu Jiang walked into the building alone, and the girls in silver armor closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, the light suddenly dimmed. Qiu Jiang narrowed her eyes. When she opened it again, it was pitch black inside and she could not see anything.

She walked forward tentatively, and suddenly seven clusters of fire lights rose from the ground, and seven oil lamps lit up at the same time, forming a formation of the Big Dipper on the ground.

The bright fire light made Qiu Jiang look pale.

She clasped her hands tightly on her side, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.

With two whizzing sounds, a row of arrows suddenly shot out from both walls. Fortunately, she reacted very quickly and immediately retreated to the door. The arrows shot her where she was originally walking.

Is it a mechanism? Qiu Jiang frowned secretly, looked up at the four walls, and looked like a big mouth in the swaying light, waiting to swallow her in one bite.

Since that's the case...then...

Qiu Jiang hit out with a palm, and the seven oil lamps were shattered at the same time. While it was dark, she flew up, whirled a few times, and jumped onto the opposite stairs while stepping on the seven oil lamps.

A burst of applause rang out, as if coming from the upper floor.

Qiu Jiang rushed up without thinking.

The bright light suddenly came over, and Qiu Jiang raised her hand to block her eyes. I have to say that sometimes when the light is used well, it is also a weapon for killing people. If someone takes this opportunity to attack, she will definitely not be able to avoid it.

Fortunately, no one attacked.

Qiu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, but when she got used to the light and moved her hand away, she saw the scene in front of her, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley-

There were two people tied in the room.

On the left is a short and fat man in his early forties, with big belly and half bald hair, looking honest; on the right is a beautiful woman with a pair of watery apricot eyes, and she also has a three-point charm when she doesn't smile.

When the two of them saw her, they all showed horror. They shook their heads desperately and signaled her to leave quickly.

Qiu Jiang's feet were as if they were nailed to death at the entrance of the stairs and could not move at all.

because……

These two people are none other than the boss and the boss's wife of Qiu's family's wine house - her nominal parents - who should have been burned to death.

For a moment, blood all over his body surged up toward his head.

Qiu Jiang took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the two of them.

No one showed up to stop it.

She walked smoothly to the Qiu couple and untied their acupoints: "Dad...mother...why are you...who are here?"

The Qiu couple had troubles. They had urged her to leave with their eyes before, but now they were free but stopped talking. They were just gray-faced, embarrassed and scared.

Qiu Jiang reached out and helped them up one by one, and slapped off the dust from their clothes - doing what her daughter should do, finally raised her head and looked around.

The second floor was also empty. It seemed that this exquisite elegant house had been vacant for a long time, but she didn't believe that there was no one else.

The other party arranged so many links and arrested the Qiu couple, just to see the moment when the lies were exposed. How could such a wonderful scene be reluctant to not watch? So, it must be hidden somewhere.

However, looking out at the empty space in the house, there was no place to hide.

Qiu Jiang's eyes flashed slightly and she walked.

From east to west, once; from south to north, once, each step is the same distance.

She suddenly rushed towards the west wall.

Seeing that the wall was about to be hit by her, the whole wall suddenly moved away with a click, Qiu Jiang hit the empty space and fell into it.

Falling on the side of a pair of shoes.

The shoes are pure black, square-mouthed, plain and simple. But in the eyes of those who know the goods, they know that they are made of tribute brocade from Yuxifang. A single pair of shoes costs less than half a year for ordinary people.

Qiu Jiang sighed secretly: It's a waste of resources to wear such good shoes on the feet of a person who doesn't walk.

——This person who doesn’t walk is naturally Feng Xiaoya.

Qiu Jiang raised her head and saw Feng Xiaoya sitting on the slide rod, looking at her quietly.

His two followers who were like shadows - Meng Buli and Jiao Buqi - were not by his side.

What made him so confident?

Qiu Jiang did not get up, and kept the posture of lying on the ground and looking up, asking timidly: "Why save me? Why did you bring me here? Why did you catch my parents?"

Feng Xiaoya smiled.

His eyebrows and eyes were gloomy, but at this moment he smiled, his eyes became particularly gentle and agile.

"Didn't your parents burned to death? How could they appear here?"

"They are pretending to die."

"Oh? Why?"

"There is a powerful enemy who comes to seek revenge, so I just pretend to die and escape from the world."

"Since that's the case, why don't you pretend to die together? Are you not afraid that the other party will not find your parents and attack you?"

"Someone has to come out to clean up the mess. That enemy is still a bit principled and will not attack the younger generation."

Feng Xiaoya muttered, and her smile became deeper and deeper: "I'm so eloquent. This statement is indeed reasonable. Unfortunately, your parents are not as clever as you..."

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qiu and his wife. Sure enough, both of them lowered their heads in shame.

In my ears, Tingfeng Xiaoya said leisurely: "But no wonder they are. Because when they arrived at the next stronghold, the connector they met was dropped by me."

In other words, Feng Xiaoya sent people to the next stronghold one step ahead, pretending to be a jointman, and getting the words of the Qiu couple?

But...how is it possible?

How could he know this plan in advance? And how did he find out everything in such a short time?

unless……

Qiu Jiang looked at the sky outside the window in horror. It was bright and the rising sun was hanging. It was clearly the most standard noon in early summer, but maybe it was another day?

"Did you find it?" Feng Xiaoya saw her thoughts and nodded, "Yes, you have been fainted for three days and four nights. Today is the fifth day of the sixth month."

Qiu Jiang bit her lower lip and stopped talking.

The reason she fainted in the cemetery before was because she found someone was secretly surveillance, so she pretended to be dizzy. Unexpectedly, the other party really made her unconscious. Not only that, she also slept for three days.
