Chapter 103 Unspeakable Sadness
Ma Ben hugged the breathless chrysanthemum and walked into the cabin. Shen Xue disappeared in the cabin. On the board, there was the ragged Snow White skirt stained with a little red plum. Xingju's body gradually became cold and stiff in his arms. Her head was pierced by ruthless bullets. Ma Ben did not dare to look at her face. The bloody face was not as plain and calm as her usual. Some were just resentment and unwilling.
He remembered that in the station in Qianfo Town, he jokingly hugged Xingju in his arms. She was like a scared beast and was embarrassed all over. At this moment, she was motionless in his arms. The horse's tears flowed quietly, flattened Xingju, took off her clothes, and put her face, and then the horse bowed. He choked and said, "Miss, this trip is also sailing for you... Xingju, I'll take you back to Qianfo Town." He walked into the cab and skipped a group of black bats over Ziyang City. The strange laughter of the two vampire kings came one after another. Far away, there was a dense gunfire, which was a duel between the night warrior and the evil forces in the dark. Ma Ben wiped the tears on his face and firmly believed that he wanted to find Feng Junyang, reorganize his detective office, and become a person like Long Fei. The small ship left the shore quickly, galloping on the water, roaring, leaving a deep water mark, venting its owner's resentment.
The water is still smooth and safe. The forces of vampires and zombies temporarily stayed in Ziyang City, but he knew that soon, maybe tomorrow, they will unconsciously spread out, and people who don't know where they will be quietly attacked...
When the boat arrived in Yuanshan Town, the sky was getting brighter and the water was empty, and there was no prosperity of boats coming and going in the past. The distant mountains with developed fisheries are difficult to recover after being severely damaged by the plague. He sighed that everything was so real and everything was like a dream.
When you get to the pier of the distant mountain, you can see a black awning boat floating down with the water in the distance, and someone still began to fish! Ma Ben felt somewhat comforted. After all, returning to a normal life requires a person to take the lead, and psychological reconstruction is the most important.
He slowed down the boat, docked, then boarded the boat and shouted at the awning boat: "Hey! You are so early today!"
There was no response on the awning ship. Ma Ben took a closer look. There were neither fisherman nor ospreys in the black canopy boat, which seemed to be an empty boat drifting along the water.
"Alas!" He sighed.
The black canopy floated over, but it was blocked by the horse-running small ship.
"It's really troublesome." The horse bent down and hooked his hand to pull the awning boat away.
At the moment of possession, he saw a man lying in the cabin of the awning boat. The man turned his head in and his feet out, and the horse ran to look at his face. He was so shocked that he almost released the black tent boat!
Isn't it handsome? He looks straight like a dead man!
Ma Ben held the starboard of the awning boat hard to prevent the awning boat from being washed away by the water. After holding on for less than two minutes, he felt that it was really helpless. It could not save people, but also took a lot of effort. He loosened the port of the boat, jumped into the water, and pushed the awning boat to the dock.
He couldn't wait to pick up the handsome upper body and call him. Only then did he find that he was soaked and cold all over, which was very similar to the state of Xingju. He did not give up his hand to probe his handsome breath, and Ma Ben's heart fell to the freezing point. Feng Junyang's appearance seems to have just been hurt by others. If he can advance an hour or a few minutes in advance, he may not become like this. Ma Ben muttered, "Feng Junyang, I'm late."
Ma Ben's grief is unparavehemented. He picked up his handsome and cold body and walked into the cabin, where there was his companion, friend, and the unjustly dead star chrysanthemum. He put Feng Junyang and Xingju side by side. He didn't dare to look at it again. He returned to the cab, drove the ship to the fastest, and rampaged on the water.
His mind was blank until a few moments. He asked himself: Who are you? He thought that all this was a dream. At dawn, he returned to the dock of Qianfo Town. Two good friends in the cabin stretched out and stood up, walked to the board and said lazily, "It's weather today! Ma Ben, where are you going to take us to travel?"
What else should I do when I go back to Qianfo Town? Qianfo Town, without phoenix dance, without star chrysanthemum, without Feng Junyang...
But the ship has arrived at the dock of Qianfo Town. It seems that he still hopes to return here, and there is another person on the dock who seems to have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Ma Ben! Ma Ben!" The man shouted, sitting in a wheelchair, waving his hands vigorously.
Ma Ben slowly landed the boat, but he did not dare to go out and face this person.
"You come down and run! I've been waiting for you all day and night!"
"Xiao He..." Ma Ben stood up feebly and walked to the boat board. Xiao He also looked listless, his hair was messy, and his eyes were deep in his thin face.
"Ma Ben, what's wrong with you?" Xiao He asked anxiously. He saw Ma Ben** on his upper body, with blood under his chest.
"Xiao He..." Ma Ben stopped talking. He put down the small ladder on the ship and pushed Xiao He's wheelchair up. When he arrived at the cabin, Ma Ben choked and said, "See? They are all there..."
"Who! Who is it?" Xiao He was so frightened that he dared and didn't want to say that person's name.
"Feng Junyang, Xing Ju..." Ma Ben's blood-red eyes sparkled with light, and he said in a hoarse voice.
"How could he die! What on earth did you encounter?
"Come on, send Xingju back..." Ma Ben felt difficult to say a word. He pushed Xiao He's wheelchair to a safe place and said silently, "Stay with him for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Purple bamboo forest. I think Xingju has never left the purple bamboo forest in her life. If she suddenly puts her somewhere else, she will not be used to it. The purple bamboo forest has good scenery and quietness, which is the best place for her. I really regret why I took her away..."
Xiao He dares not ask any more questions.
Qianfo Town in the morning is still dead. There are three or two fishing boats on the water, and the fisherman's song is sad and low. In such a morning, the summer sun is also cold. The ship quickly drove to the last time Xingju took Ma Ben and Feng Junyang into the purple bamboo forest, and the horse stopped the boat.
"Is it right here? This place is desolate and lifeless, not suitable..." Xiao He said, "The purple bamboo forest is still in front. I know how to get in."
"Have you been here?" Ma Ben asked in surprise.
"I've been here." Xiao He said with a little guilty.
"What are you doing here?" Ma Ben asked warily, "Xing Ju said that this place is so busy that it is not easy for outsiders to come in. How can you come in?"
"I take medicine..."
"You are a Western doctor!" Ma Ben was a little angry, "Xiao He! What else are you hiding from me?"
"I've really been here, but..." Xiao He was a little flashy.
"Are you with Ziyi? If purple clothes want to attract ghosts, you will be used as bait in the middle? Be fooled by ghosts?" After saying that, Ma Ben suddenly felt that what he said could not stand back. He patted his head and said fiercely, "I'm confused by you!" Tell me the truth now, or you will die when I find out!"
"Ma Ben, it's true that I was taken advantage of by ghosts. I want to leave this small place and show my ambitions and spread my reputation. Ghosts are taking advantage of my psychology, so I let me do those stupid things. But I tell you, I was not used by purple clothes. There's just one thing I have to say. Please help me think about why.
"You say, but don't make it up!"
"Ma Ben, do you remember that Feng Junyang took Wu Qianhe to my clinic for surgery? It was the day when Feng Junyang was taken to the market by Commander Wu as a grave robber to kill him. Wu Qianhe was stabbed by a dragon dart. When he came to my clinic, I did the operation to suture. At that time, I asked Feng Junyang, who is this woman? Feng Junyang said that it was his fiancee.
"Then, when we talked about my clinic, I said that I hadn't had an operation for a long time, and no one believed in Western medicine. Feng Junyang told me that after curing that woman, I could become famous. He said that that woman was Commander Wu's daughter, Wu Qianhe! At that time, I took the taken out flying knife and killed Wu Qianhe with a knife!"
Ah? Why did you kill Wu Qianhe?" Ma Ben was shocked.
"You know, I have been an orphan since I was a child. Growing up in Luban Temple, the host of the temple once told me that my enemy was Commander Wu, and he killed my whole family. Therefore, as soon as I heard Feng Junyang say that she was Wu Qianhe, the daughter of Commander Wu, I couldn't help doing it. In fact, I don't know Commander Wu, but I have been indoctrinated by the host since I was a child. I want to kill Commander Wu and kill his whole family!"
"Strange, did you say that the host in the temple told you the enemy? And instill your thoughts of revenge? Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to the four empty and compassionate? As a host, how can I instill such an idea in you? Isn't it possible for you to kill people when you grow up? Xiao He, you didn't lie, did you? Ma Ben felt a little surprised.
"The host is still alive. You can ask him." Xiao He said solemnly, "It's useless to lie to you. You are a detective. Then I told you, I stabbed Wu Qianhe, but I saw a skull coming out of Wu Qianhe's body and bit me with my mouth wide open! I just felt black in front of me and fainted..."
"Stop!" Ma Ben waved his hand impatiently, "Is it scary to make up a ghost story? At least you are a Western doctor and have received advanced Western education. Don't you feel ashamed to say these words, huh?"
"I'm telling you truthfully now. If you don't believe it, you can ask Feng Junyang. He saw me in a coma at that time."
"Then you wake him up. I can't wait for him to wake up and tell me the truth! Don't make up this paragraph. Just say, how did you get into the Purple Bamboo Forest?
"After I fell into a coma, I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found myself in the purple bamboo forest. And..." Xiao He looked at Ma Ben and didn't dare to say.
"Go on!"
"Moreover, I saw you... and your father... also in the Purple Bamboo Forest!"
"Nonsense! When did I go there?" Ma rushed to say angrily.
"No, aren't you poisoned? Ziyi took you to the Purple Bamboo Forest to poison you. Have you forgotten?
"I'm confused! I didn't know I've been here. After the car caught fire, I woke up in the wet river**.
"Yes, Ma Ben, I'm telling the truth. As for how to enter the purple bamboo forest, I know nothing like you. However, I can be sure that I have seen purple clothes before. Xiao He recalled, "Zi Yi also recognized me. I guess the three of us were robbed by her apprentice. She recognized me, so she didn't poison me.
"Where did you meet?"
Luban Temple. Where I grew up. At that time, a woman often came to the temple to see me. She didn't talk much and was very kind. Every time, she sent a lot of food, clothes, and took money to repair the temple. The host has a good relationship with her, and she sends it far away every time.
"Is this woman in purple?"
