Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 173 Life and Death
"What's wrong with reading the "Diamond Sutra"?" Li Chongyang smiled, pretending to be puzzled, then tilted his head and said: "I didn't know that the second sister cared about me so much, and made people stare at me all the time!"

"Yeah, I keep people staring at you..." Xue Wanhua turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile, "You say you don't believe in Buddhism, but I think you still know Buddhist scriptures very well! That's why you didn't ask the monk to recite to save the dead." The "Rebirth Mantra", but the "Diamond Sutra" for exorcising ghosts and demons..."

Staring at Li Chongyang, Xue Wanhua sternly said: "A black-hearted person like you actually knows to be afraid. It's really strange! Li Chongyang, kill Mu Feng, do you have nightmares every night and can't sleep?!"

Li Chongyang's eyes flickered, and he was not surprised at all, but said lightly: "Who told you these words? Gu Sixiao!? Wanhua, we grew up together, childhood sweetheart, but you trust a girl of unknown origin like this, Don't you feel sorry for our friendship?!"

"Friendship? If you still have a conscience, and you still care about friendship, would you still do this kind of thing?! Li Chongyang, it's not the first time you've been pocketed! Even if you're discovered, so what? How could you do this? You are cruel and merciless, and set fire to Mufeng?!"

Asking loudly, Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice: "You said that the origin of Hua'er is unknown, but let me tell you, she is not a girl of unknown origin, but has a lot to do with you - everything you are today and everything is because of you. She came! If you want to be serious, you have to thank her!"

Li Chongyang was stunned by Xue Wanhua's words.This passage was not what he expected.

"What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, who is Hua'er? Today's Gu Hua'er, whose surname is Li! She is the daughter of General Li, whom your parents tried their best to protect—you were adopted by my father because of her Li family! It's a pity that my father didn't think about it, the loyal servant is actually a black-hearted white-eyed wolf!"

"From the Li family?!"

Loathing his own life experience, Li Chongyang never mentioned the Li family, but he was very clear about the Li family. From childhood to adulthood, Xue Wen had expressed emotion in front of him more than once.

"It turns out—it's like this..." He chuckled twice, with ambiguity, "Father-in-law really has a long-term love, and he treats the daughter of his ex-lover better than his own daughter. I don't know what the mother-in-law in the world will think... "

"Li Chongyang, you finally stopped pretending!" Hearing Li Chongyang's sneer, Xue Wanhua regained her composure, "You don't have to admit it today, I have already caught the murderer you sent to kill Mu Feng—maybe , you hope to confront him more!"

"No need to confront!" Li Chongyang smiled, raised his eyebrows, and he smiled strangely, "You want to hear me admit that I sent someone to kill Mu Feng, then I will admit it! Yes, I was the one who set people on fire, Burn Mu Feng to death!"

A blast of thunder rolled across the sky, overwhelming Li Chongyang's words, but amidst the thunder, Xue Wanhua could still hear his answer clearly.

Maybe she didn't really hear it, but her heart heard it.

Glaring at Li Chongyang's distorted smiling face, Xue Wanhua slowly said after the thunder had subsided: "Okay, you can be considered a man if you dare to do something! Li Chongyang, since you have admitted everything, it will be easy..."

"How easy? What do you want to do?" Li Chongyang sneered, took a step forward, looked at Xue Wanhua, and asked with a smile: "In this wild suburb and deep mountain, you know that I am the murderer of your husband, how can you?" How about it? Twist me to the yamen? Or pray to your Buddha to accept me?! Ah, neither..."

Li Chongyang smiled, leaned over, and looked at her, "Wanhua, do you still remember what happened four years ago? At that time, a businessman from other places bought the building next to Xueji Jinlou with a little money. The shop, brazenly said that it was going to open a golden building that was bigger than Xue Ji and forced us to collapse—do you still remember what happened to him in the end?!"

"I'm missing..." Xue Wanhua murmured in a low voice.

"Yeah, I don't know where to go. In fact, it can also be said to be a famous lake with dead bodies - I remember that time you said that the businessman was very evil, and you should teach him a lesson..."

The clasped hands began to tremble, and Xue Wanhua said shyly, "You asked someone to kill him?"

"Yes! It's me—" Li Chongyang laughed mockingly, "I was the one who came out, but you dare to pat your chest and say, you didn't know anything at the time?! Wanhua, in fact, you know everything, you know me Find someone to teach the businessman a lesson, and you know that I paid the money from the tent in another name. But at that time, you pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if you didn't know anything..."

He raised his head and smiled, "We were so good back then, we sang and harmonized, it can be said that we are a perfect match, but since when did we become less close!?"

"Close? Your deliberately flattering, duplicitous nature, how can we really get close?!" Xue Wanhua sneered, "Li Chongyang, don't make excuses for yourself anymore! Your nature is like this, you are a black-hearted wolf... ..."

After a pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "I only wish I didn't find out earlier, and I personally sharpened the minions for you, a black-hearted wolf."

"That's right, you gave me the chance..." Li Chongyang smiled lowly, "You gave me the chance tonight."

Xue Wanhua was taken aback, turned around abruptly and retreated towards the apse, shouting as she retreated: "Come here!"

Li Chongyang watched her keep retreating, did not step forward, just looked at her coldly in the dim light.

When she bumped into something, Xue Wanhua turned her head abruptly, saw the burly man behind him with a blank expression, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She dodged to the side, and asked sharply, "Did you bring the bastard who set the fire?"

The big man nodded, and casually threw the man in his hand on the ground.

Xue Wanhua stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that the man's face was sallow, his expression was sluggish, his eyes were closed, and he had passed out.

"Wake him up—Li Chongyang, your accomplice is here, don't say hello."

Li Chongyang smiled lowly, and actually greeted obediently, "Here we are..."

The burly man squatted down, and slapped down his palm like a cattail fan.

The fainted man woke up in vain, and when he found out where he was, he immediately panicked.

"Let go of me! Li, Mr. Li, save me..."

"He can't protect himself, how could he save you?" Xue Wanhua sneered.

Turning to Li Chongyang, she said in a deep voice: "Li Chongyang, you are right, I am not a good man or woman! Tonight, I did not intend to arrest you to the Yamen, nor did I pray to the Buddha to punish you, an unrighteous person—wait for God It's too late to open your eyes! Tonight, you will go to hell!"

"It's so ruthless!" Li Chongyang murmured, "I'm really scared to death! Wanhua, you specially hired people from the world to deal with me, so you're not afraid that word will spread and you, a big belly woman, will be put in prison? "

"If I'm afraid, I won't do it!"

Looking at Li Chongyang coldly, Xue Wanhua said in a deep voice, "First send the thief who set fire to hell to help you on your way..."

As she spoke, she turned around and gestured to the burly man.

The big man didn't speak, he bent down, grabbed the man's collar, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the man's throat was cut, and the blood splattered, the man didn't even make a sound, just stopped .

"Good kill!" Li Chongyang clapped his hands and giggled, "Thank you for helping me get rid of my troubles!"

Xue Wanhua sneered, but turned her eyes away, as if she didn't want to see the corpse, she retreated.

"Kill Li Chongyang—"

Backing behind the burly man, she shouted in a deep voice.

"Kill me?!" Li Chongyang laughed loudly, lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders, "Did you see him move?! Xue Wanhua, you are so funny, even looking for a killer..."

His voice froze, he stared blankly at the figure that disappeared behind the yellow curtain in the apse, and couldn't help but curse.

This damn girl has been a traitor since she was a child, and he only said a few words, and she actually let her know that this burly man is with him.

Really...

"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Hurry up and chase! Xue Wanhua must not be allowed to walk down the mountain alive today."

Seeing the burly man turn around, Li Chongyang hastily added, "Don't let those monks hear it!"

Thanks to the fact that Xue Wanhua wanted to do bad things in the first place, she didn't even bring her personal girl with her.Otherwise, I will spend more time tonight.

Looking up, in the flickering lights, the face of the Buddha statue brightened and darkened for a while, and even the eyes embedded with glass seemed to be shining like streamers, which made people feel frightened.

Turning his eyes away, Li Chongyang didn't dare to look any more, but he said in a low voice: "Buddha bless you, if I survive tonight safely, I will be rich and prosperous in the future, and the Buddha will reshape the golden body..."

Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Li Chongyang chased after him in big strides, and quickly chased into the darkness through the gate at the back of the hall.

"Boom..." A flash of lightning pierced the sky, and a clumsy figure slowly emerged from under the incense table of a Buddha statue with its back facing the apse.

Panting, Xue Wanhua ran a few steps to the entrance of the back hall, picked up the embroidered shoes outside the hall, put them on her feet, turned around and ran towards the front hall without hesitation.

An embroidered shoe fooled Li Chongyang and the two of them, but they didn't have much time to win.

Xue Wanhua held her belly, not daring to stay longer, and rushed down the mountain against the wind and rain.

She didn't dare to walk on the avenue, but only dared to walk on the path with few people, one foot deep and one foot shallow, staggering along the mountain road.

The heavy rain poured down, but within a moment, she was soaked through.Abdominal pain, throbbing pain.

Holding her stomach, Xue Wanhua gritted her teeth and endured, "My good boy, don't be afraid, mother will protect you—bear it a little longer..."

In the past few days, she has been overworked and physically and mentally exhausted, and now she is running fast in the wind and rain, and her body can no longer hold on.

Her lower abdomen hurt, and she vaguely felt something flowing out from under her body, sticking warmly to her thighs.

Although Xue Wanhua has never given birth to a child, she also knows that something is wrong.

Although he was running for his life, he had to stop at this time.

Looking around, Xue Wanhua vaguely saw a corner of the cornice, before she had time to think about it, she ran in small steps.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a dilapidated mountain temple.

I don't know when the incense was cut off, and not only half of the gate of the small temple was missing, but only half of the temple was left.

It flashed across the sky, and with that light, she could clearly see the hideous mountain statue on the altar that had lost both hands.

Gritting her teeth, Xue Wanhua lowered her body and gave a salute, "Forgive me for being rude, please ask the mountain god grandfather to protect my mother and son..."

After giving the gift, she crawled under the incense table in a short body, and she was already having abdominal cramps before lying down...
