Nanlin Bamboo Demon

Chapter 36

It was already late at night when Wei Fu returned to the inn.

Before Wei Lin rested, Wei Fu walked to the door of Wei Lin's room and knocked on the door, "My lord, I'm back."

The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and Wei Lin had inexplicable emotions in his eyes, looking very tired.

"Where did you go?" There was no question in the words, only concern.

"I just went to relax and let you worry, I'm sorry..." Wei Fu showed his big white teeth and showed Wei Lin a standard smile.

Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in, I have something for you."

Wei Fu followed Wei Lin into the door, and Gu Nianran and Gu Yi also came out of their respective rooms when they heard the voice of talking, and joined Wei Lin's room.

Wei Lin took out the small silver pot from his arms and handed it to Wei Fu. Wei Fu went over to look at it, "Didn't Mother Lu give you this? Why did you give it to me?"

"The ghost car took Wu Chao away... Before he left, he told Xiaoyi that your father's remains were behind a spring on Lanye Mountain... So I went to look for it..."

"Find... found it?" Wei Fu's voice trembled a little.

"Well, it's in there."

Wei Fu tightened his grip on the small silver pot, "Have you put it in here..."

"Well, I decided on my own, and I don't want you to see...your father's..."

"Thank you son!" Wei Fu cupped his fists, "Thank you!"

"Weifu..." Wei Lin's tone was a little helpless, he didn't want to be thanked by him, "I...just want to see you as happy as before...but I...seem too selfish..."

"Brother Wei Fu, but Ghost Che didn't say where your mother's remains are..."

All three of them got goosebumps from Gu Yi's "Brother Wei Fu", and they all looked at him as if they were aliens.

Gu Yi didn't pay attention to it at all, and still said to himself, "I have no parents since I was a child, not my second brother, I don't know how many years I have been dead! I didn't cultivate the human form by myself, I was born by others, so it can be seen No one wants me after I was born. Either they are all dead, or they don’t want me!"

"Xiaoyi..." Gu Nianran called softly.

"So I still envy you very much. At least I was loved by them and have their memories. I don't even know what they look like, let alone whether they are dead or alive. Although, now you know that your parents were murdered Dead, you must be very sad, sad, and angry. But...but...but is your life just enough? Don't you..."

"Stop! Stop, stop! What a mess, do you think I'm so useless? Will I lose my life? No! I'm just a little sad these two days, you still Don't allow me to be sad!"

"You... Didn't you run away from home for two days..." Gu Yi asked timidly.

"Run away from home? Young master, what did you all tell him?"

"Young Master Gu Yi, we didn't say anything to him, I guess, it's probably Xiao Yi's own guess." Gu Nianran responded while stroking Gu Yi's head.

"Wei Fu, I have a guess about your mother's remains."

"What guess?"

"I guess, your mother didn't get her soul sucked by the ghost car."

"Why do you say that?"

"I have observed around the place where your father's remains were found. Outside the spring is a cliff, and below the cliff is the sea. The current is extremely fast, and there is no possibility of surviving if you fall. Your father's remains are in the cave behind the spring, but your mother is not there. It can even be said that there is no trace of her bones. So I guess, she may not have been sucked by a ghost car."

"You mean, she was killed by others?"

"No, she was not killed by the ghost car, but it is probably related to the ghost car, otherwise, the ghost car would not admit that he killed your parents... I am just guessing, there is no basis." Wei Lin looked at it carefully after finishing speaking. Everyone, indicating that they are really guessing, "I guess, she fell into the rapids."

"In other words, my mother didn't lose her soul?"

"I suppose so, if my guess is correct."

Wei Fu's legs were a little weak, and he supported the table next to him with his hands, "Really? Mother should have been reincarnated too... I don't remember me for a long time."

"Weifu, I'm just guessing, don't be too..."

"I can accept the worst result, there will be no worse result, right?"

"Unfortunately, Yan Emperor's 'Reincarnation Book' is not allowed to be borrowed by outsiders, otherwise, you can check it out."

"Ah... let's talk about these things later!" Wei Fu raised his voice vigorously, proving to everyone that he was fine, "Now that I have my father by my side, I am satisfied! By the way! What are your plans next, my lord?" ?”

Wei Lin still felt that Wei Fu made him worry, but he couldn't think of anything to help him. Seeing him pretending to be strong, Wei Lin could only smile helplessly, "We plan to go back to the mountains."

"Go back to the mountains? Something happened?"

"Because Nianran said that he wanted to learn swordsmanship, so I wanted to take him back to the mountains to find my husband for advice, and I will go to Tingyuan by the way."

“Oh… Got it! So when do we leave?”

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Then... I'll go to sleep first, I'm so sleepy." Wei Fu yawned exaggeratedly after speaking, afraid that no one would know how "sleepy" he was, so he went out and went back to his room.

"Young Master Wei Fu... is he really alright?" Gu Nianran said while looking at the doorway where there was no one in sight.

"I can't do anything..." Wei Lin frowned, his eyes filled with anger towards himself.

"Brother Weifu... He, he will adjust himself! I'm still waiting for him to argue with me!" Gu Yi ran back to his room after finishing speaking, and closed the door.

The room suddenly became quiet, only Wei Lin and Gu Nianran were left.

Gu Nianran walked to Wei Lin's side.

"Wei Lin, with you by his side, maybe it's already a kind of help." Gu Nianran gently put his hand on Wei Lin's shoulder, "The days when he doesn't have his parents to accompany him are all about you and your family Those lonely years spent with him. For him, his parents are the past, and you and your family are his present and future. Do you understand what I mean?"

"But... After all, it's different from my parents..."

"I don't know about the others, but Mr. Wei Fu is such a cheerful, straightforward and optimistic person now. It must be because of your company and love that he can grow up so naturally..." After finishing speaking, Gu Nianran felt that the word "natural" The son seemed to be using it incorrectly, afraid that Wei Lin would not understand, and then said, "It's like Fan Yu, if he was rescued by your father and brought to your house at that time, then the tragedy today will be the same." There would be no...not even...ghost cars would be released."

"I understand what you mean, but, I hope, he can share some of the sadness in his heart with me. Over the years, he has always understood my thoughts... But I, it seems that I have never noticed his sad and lonely side... I What this big brother... is really a failure."

Gu Nianran put his hand down, "Take your time, the wound on Mr. Wei Fu's heart will heal one day with the passage of time... If it can't be cured, it can definitely scab..."

"if…"

"what if?"

"If there is a person who can express all his pain and suffering without reservation...or, if he can fully read his pain...that would be great..."

"Young Master Wei Fu will meet, one day, he will meet." Gu Nianran said with a smile, "Just like I met you."

Wei Lin didn't expect Gu Nianran to say such a sentence suddenly, and stared at Gu Nianran with his eyes open and blinking, "What did you say just now?"

Gu Nianran smiled, and the depths of her eyes were full of tenderness, "I always feel that God treats me very well. For a person like me, my mother sacrificed her life to let me survive... 20 years without disease or disaster. After so many years, I can still meet you who loves me so much." Gu Nianran stretched out his hand to caress Wei Lin's cheek as he spoke, and in his impression, this seemed to be the first time he touched Wei Lin's face, which was different from his own, somewhat Rough, probably because I often practice swords in the sun.

Wei Lin held Gu Nianran's hand, his eyes flickered, "You said, you mean..."

Before Wei Lin finished speaking, Gu Nianran pulled out her held hand, leaned forward slightly, and hugged Wei Lin, "I mean, you're fine...don't blame yourself anymore, don't feel like a failure, You are really good... Wei Lin, you are really good..."

Wei Lin didn't know what to say, so he could only respond to these words with a tighter embrace.These words are like a warm current flowing through the cold ice. Although they cannot thaw, they are enough to save lives.

At this time, in the government office.

"My lord, the arrest warrant has been drawn up, and I will send someone to post it all the way early tomorrow morning, and report it to the Imperial City as soon as possible."

"Um…"

"My lord, you just took office in the stubborn city, and you have received this kind of case. Is it luck or misfortune..."

"You talkative, what's wrong with you, if you have a case, you will handle it! If you have a prisoner, you will take it! If you have no business, you will deal with it! Why are there so many nonsense and worries, are you tired?"

"My lord, it is because of this that those in the imperial court sent you to be the mayor of this stupid country."

"What kind of country, can you speak, anyway, people call it 'Jiancheng', okay, anyway, people call me Cheng~Lord~"

The guard didn't answer their lord's words anymore, and started another topic, "That scholar named Lu Xian is the one who reported the fake imperial envoy, how are you going to report it?"

"How to report? What to report? Of course not to report! He has just finished the spring exam, so I will give him a good name? It's no wonder if he doesn't become a thorn in the side of others! You said you have been with me for so long, why is your head not bright! If you enter the palace, you won't survive a month."

Guard:  …

When the two were quiet for a while, the guard outside came in to announce that Lu Xian had come.

"Villain Lu Xian, see Mr. Wang."

"Don't kneel, don't kneel! Hurry up and speak quickly, red tape takes time and trouble."

"My lord, do you dare to ask if the person pretending to be an imperial envoy has been caught?"

"No, tell him to run away."

Lu Xian made no secret of his disappointment.

"You boy, are you so shameless in front of me! At least pretend!"

Lu Xian was stunned for a moment, "Dare to ask, sir, how to pretend?"

Lord Wang: ...

Guard: Hehe, Mr. Wang Shifeng is good everywhere, if you want to save face, you can take his life!I have to give face!I really don't know what the old men are doing with such a good face.

The guard couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Sun Zhirong! What expression do you have! What are you doing!"

Mr. Wang clearly saw the white eyes of the bodyguard Sun Zhirong, and couldn't hold back his growl.

Sun Zhirong said perfunctorily as if it was commonplace, "I know my mistake, but my lord will atone for it."

Yes, only this one word of bowing your head is needed, and Lord Wang will not pursue it any further. Sun Zhirong understands this lord thoroughly.

Lu Xian: "...Xiaosheng still has something to do...I'm afraid to resign first."

Wang Shifeng: "Let's go back, let's go, even though we haven't caught that fake imperial envoy yet, don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, I won't give up catching him!"

Lu Xian bowed slightly: "My lord, please."

"Well, let's go."

The next day.

When Wei Lin and the others walked out of the city, they saw "Wanted Criminals" notices posted all over the street, with paintings of Fan Yu and "Coroner" on them, as well as a "half-human, half-cat" who couldn't tell what it looked like. monster.

"Can they be caught like this?" Gu Yi muttered in a low voice.

"It's impossible to catch him, but this lord is really efficient, good at means, and a good official!" Wei Fu said.

"Brother Wei Fu, how do you know he is a good official?"

"Generally, don't the government have to wait for several months to do things? You only look at it for a few days, and the arrest warrant is posted. Isn't such an official who works hard to catch criminals a good one?"

"Well... that makes sense."

The three of them wondered again, why didn't Gu Yi bicker with Wei Fu?Why is it "reasonable"... What's wrong with this kid? !

The three chatted and left the city, walked with their swords in their hands, and soon returned to Wei's house.

As soon as he landed in front of the door, he heard "Ah!" falling from the sky, Wei Mu once again failed to fend off his sword magnificently, and appeared in front of everyone in the appearance of a fried parrot.
