Chapter 79

The next day, Hua heard an invitation from Su Bendao, inviting her to go outing in the countryside.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the sun was starting to become venomous, Hua Ting didn't want to go, but thinking of Su Bendao's visit yesterday and today's invitation, he should have something to ask her, so he agreed.

Xue Ling must have followed Hua Ting, the two of them got into the carriage and raised the curtain to see Ouyang Ji sitting in the carriage.

"Why don't the two sisters go out with Zicun?"

Ouyang Ji smiled gently, but Hua Ting felt a chill down her spine.

Xue Ling didn't think it was necessary to bring Ouyang Ji with him, but instead persuaded Ouyang Ji to stay.

"There are many things going on in the house, it's not safe to leave Hua Yaoting alone, the third brother might as well go back."

Ouyang Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said contemptuously, "Don't worry, let alone a whole day, even a whole month, a whole year, he didn't have the guts to mess around."

Hua Ting lowered her eyelids and leaned on the pillow. She knew Ouyang Ji's temper, and as long as she was sure, no one would be able to persuade him. It would be better not to say anything.

Seeing that Ouyang Ji had made up his mind to follow, Xue Ling stopped trying to persuade him, and closed his eyes and dozed off together.

Ouyang Ji, who was left out in the cold, curled up one leg expressionlessly, put his arm on his knee, and looked at the receding street scene outside the car window in a trance alone.

Hua sounded at first with his eyes open wondering what Su Bendao was looking for her for, but as the carriage swayed like a cradle, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Xue Ling fell asleep faster than Hua Ting, snoring like a lullaby.

Ouyang Ji looked back at the two guys who were drooling and sleeping next to each other, with a flash of resentment in his eyes, he took the cloak and covered them.

After leaving Peach Blossom Town and walking for half an hour, the carriage stopped at the foot of Honolulu. Ouyang Ji woke up Juezhu and got out of the carriage first.

After Hua Ting got off the car, a man dressed as a servant stepped forward immediately, "Is this little lady surnamed Hua?"

"Who are you?" Xue Ling looked coldly.

The servant said politely, "Young Master Su ordered the villain to wait for Miss Hua here."

"Lead the way ahead..." Hua Ting said, the servant agreed and walked sideways in front.

Huating followed all the way to the pavilion at the foot of the mountain. Su Bendao, who had been waiting for a long time, got up to meet him, and his expression tightened when he saw Ouyang who was following him.

"Master Su, let's talk while walking."

The gazebo with air leaking all around is not a place to talk at all, not to mention there are two little tails following behind, Hua Ting reached out to Honolulu, and Su Bendao happily followed.

In Honolulu, the temple of Tanxiang is very popular. Some believers have built a mountain road to facilitate pilgrims to go up the mountain to offer incense. The gentle stone steps extend from the foot of the mountain all the way to the temple at the top of the mountain, which is very convenient for people to climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery.

The mountain road is not very wide, and Suben Road and Hua Ting are walking side by side. There is no room for other people on both sides. When someone coming down the mountain comes, Su Bendao immediately makes a way out of the way. Very comfortable.

After walking for a while, Hua Ting turned around, Xue Ling and Ouyang Ji were only three or four steps behind, if she said something to Su Bendao, she would definitely be heard.

Su Bendao was at ease, as if he had nothing to do with Hua Ting, but simply wanted to ask Hua Ting for an outing, when he found Hua Ting looking behind him, he opened his mouth and said.

"Little lady, there is a tea stand over there, let's sit down and have a rest."

Huating looked up and saw a pergola halfway up the mountain. There are several tables under the pergola, which should be places for tourists to have tea and rest.

Su Bendao entered the awning first, ordered a pot of herbal tea, and picked a seat in the back to greet Xue Ling and Ouyang Ji behind him to take their seats.

After taking a few sips of herbal tea, Hua Ting's dry throat felt much better. Seeing that there was a stall selling pastries, she got up and went to pick out two plates of pastries and came back.

Xue Ling picked up a piece and tasted it, and found it delicious, then picked up another piece and stuffed it into Ouyang Ji's mouth.

Ouyang Ji always looked worried, he took a bite of the pastry as if he was biting an enemy.

After resting for a while, the four of them continued to climb the mountain. Xue Ling, who ate the most pastries, suddenly ran back holding his stomach.

Hua Ting didn't have time to chase, so she had to stand on the stone steps and watch, and found that Xue Ling ran to the woods behind the tea stand.

Not long after Xue Ling ran away, Ouyang Ji, who had only eaten a piece of pastry, stared at Su Bendao with knife-like eyes, and ran towards the direction where Xue Ling disappeared, clutching his stomach.

Hua Ting couldn't tell that Su Bendao had tampered with the pastry.

"Why is Mr. Su like this?"

Su Bendao apologized, "Forgive me, little lady, but Su has no other choice."

With that said, Su Bendao stretched out his hand forward, Hua Ting and Su Bendao continued to climb the mountain side by side.

"Master Su, please tell me what's the matter."

Temporarily getting rid of the two little tails, Huating went straight to the topic.

"Su hopes that the little lady will stop investigating..."

Hua was startled when she heard the words, stopped and turned to look directly at Su Bendao.

"What does Mr. Su mean by this?"

Su Bendao took out a paper bag from his sleeve pocket and opened it. Inside was a handful of black ash.

"Some things will leave traces once they are done, and these traces are often the most deadly. Su hopes that the little lady will listen to Su's persuasion and kill Ouyang and so that the world can be peaceful."

Hua Ting was horrified, "Young Master Su thinks I killed Zi Cun...why?"

"There's no reason, it's just that he shouldn't live in this world. If the little lady wants to live safe and sound for the rest of her life, listen to Su's advice and kill him. Otherwise, the little lady will lose her life sooner or later."

Hua Ting looked at Su Bendao with a serious expression, she was sure that Su Bendao was not joking, but how could she kill Ouyang Ji.

"Impossible, I won't kill Zicun even if I die, so leave."

After the words fell, Hua Ting went straight down the mountain, her back was firm, but her footsteps seemed to be fleeing.

Su Bendao watched Hua Tingdao off, heaved a long sigh, and quickly followed Hua Tingdao.

"I'm doing it for your own good. It's definitely not because of any personal grievances. But there are some things that I haven't figured out yet. What is certain is that Ouyang and this person are extremely dangerous. There is no better way to protect the little lady than to kill him." no problem.

So, Hua Ting, I ask you to think carefully, if you change your mind, you can come to Qingyuan to find me at any time, and I will definitely find a way to make him less painful..."

Hua Ting turned a deaf ear, went all the way down the mountain and climbed into the carriage, ordering the driver to drive back home immediately.

There were three people when they went there, and only one when they came back. The coachman looked up the mountain and saw two people running down the mountain halfway up the mountain.

Hua Ting, who was sitting in the carriage, also saw the two people on the mountainside through the window, but still urged the driver to drive away in a hurry.

Back in her room, Hua Ting took out the bag with cloth strips and went around the room, but couldn't find a suitable place to hide it. Suddenly, a picture flashed in her mind.

Remove the bed post of the carved bed to reveal the hollow interior of the bed post. Hua Ting tie the bright yellow rags into a long rope and hang it inside the bed post, then sew the top of the cloth strip with thread, wrap the thread around the tenon of the bed post and embed it into the tenon in the slot.

This was discovered by the original owner by accident, but it was just a discovery. The original owner was as simple as a piece of white paper and had no secrets at all, so such a hiding place was nothing to her, but it was too much for Hua Ting at this time. Useful.
