Chapter 148
The two returned to the city at noon.
The two demons, the tortoise and the rabbit, took the other demons who had hidden before and cleaned up the corpses in the city.
"Master, you are back. We were worried to death."
The tortoise demon rushed to Lin Jinyan as fast as possible and showed his courtesy.
Lin Jinyan glanced at the direction outside the city and told the two demons, the turtle and the rabbit, "You go back to Qingfeng Mountain and hide for a while. The large army of the Demon Suppression Division will soon arrive. There may be a big purge. Remember not to show up during this period, let alone cause trouble."
The two demons nodded heavily, "I understand, Master."
"Go quickly." Lin Jinyan waved her hand, signaling them to evacuate as soon as possible.
At the same time, Lu Ren seemed to remember something, and rushed in one direction without saying hello.
When he arrived at the door of the inn in his memory, it had already turned into a pool of blood.
Although the body was gone, the blood that had not yet dried up on the ground seemed to tell the tragic scenes that had happened here not long ago.
Lu Ren walked in with a solemn expression and gently pushed open the door that locked Li Yingzi.
At this moment, Li Yingzi was huddled under the bed with a pale face, as if she had fallen asleep, with very obvious tears in the corners of her eyes.
It should be that after she woke up, she found that her parents were not around, and she saw the bloody scene on the street outside. The little girl couldn't bear it for a while and burst into tears.
I guess she was tired of crying now.
Lu Ren carefully carried her out, and tore a piece of cloth from the bed and covered her eyes to prevent her from waking up halfway and suffering unnecessary mental shock again.
Walking out of the inn, he saw Lin Jinyan standing across the street and watching him quietly.
"Who is she?"
Lu Ren explained softly: "A friend's daughter."
Lin Jinyan sneered: "People like you also have friends?"
"Aren't you also my friend?"
"........" Lin Jinyan was speechless.
She looked at the little girl in Lu Ren's arms, and her eyes rarely showed a bit of tenderness.
"How about... you come and hold it?"
"I don't... you..."
Before Lin Jinyan finished speaking, Lu Ren had already stuffed Li Yingzi's petite body into her arms.
After holding her firmly, Lin Jinyan glared at Lu Ren unhappily.
The latter laughed: "Very light."
"Is that what I mean?"
Lu Ren looked at Li Yingzi subconsciously hugging Lin Jinyan's smooth and white neck, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Fortunately she is not a boy."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, I really envy her!"
Lin Jinyan was a little puzzled.
The girl had just experienced a tragedy that was like purgatory on earth, where did the envy come from?
It was not until the two walked side by side for a short distance that she finally realized what Lu Ren meant by what he said just now.
"Envy alone is useless."
This time it was Lu Ren's turn to be stunned.
What did she mean by saying this?
Did she mean that he had the intention but not the courage to act?
Lu Ren looked at the back close at hand and rubbed his hands secretly.
Lin Jinyan was aware of his every move, but she was unmoved. She just said three words lightly: "Do you dare?"
Lu Ren frowned, feeling quite strange.
Lin Jinyan didn't seem to be threatening him, but deliberately encouraging him with provocation.
After a moment of silence, he didn't take any action after all, but walked side by side with Lin Jinyan with a calm face.
"Remember when I left the county city, Lin Yongning said you had something important to deal with and couldn't get away?"
Lin Jinyan said "um" lightly, without a direct answer.
"In fact, I guessed it a long time ago. You should have been confined by the Lin family, right?"
"How do you know..."
Halfway through the words, Lin Jinyan realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
She shook her head gently and said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Indeed, the Lin family has confined you. This is a family matter. I shouldn't ask about it, and I have no right to interfere."
Hearing this, Lin Jinyan's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"If that's the case, why do you mention it?"
"Because that was before, but it's different now."
"What's different?" Lin Jinyan continued to ask.
Lu Ren smiled and said, "Your identity is different."
Lin Jinyan suddenly stopped, looking a little stunned, and there was a hint of expectation.
"Why?
"
"Because you saved me! From today on, you are my savior. With this identity, I should take care of your affairs!"
Lin Jinyan stared at him for a while, and finally shook her head in disappointment: "My affairs have nothing to do with you."
"Is the Lin family forcing you to get married again?"
Lin Jinyan did not answer, but quickened her pace.
"Passed." Lu Ren reminded loudly behind her.
"What?"
Lu Ren pointed to a house on the side of the road: "This is Li Yingzi's house, you passed it."
Lin Jinyan took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.
The two stepped into the yard one after the other.
Lu Ren shouted: "Li Zhuang?"
Soon, a sturdy man came out of the house wiping his tears.
"Why are you crying? "Lu Ren asked.
The moment Li Zhuang saw Lu Ren, his emotions, which were on the verge of collapse, could no longer be restrained.
An eight-foot-tall strong man knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"Mr. Lu, my...my daughter is missing!"
After he was controlled by the poisonous insect, he witnessed all kinds of chaos and tragedies in the city in his consciousness space.
He even raised the butcher knife uncontrollably and killed several people.
When he regained consciousness, he finally found his seriously injured wife, but found that his daughter was nowhere to be found.
After he bandaged his wife's wound, he was heartbroken when he thought that his daughter might have been killed.
Lu Ren smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Who do you think this is?"
He stepped aside and motioned Lin Jinyan to walk a few steps in.
Li Zhuang first looked at Lin Jinyan and felt that she looked familiar. Then, he saw the girl in Lin Jinyan's arms.
"Yingzi! It's Yingzi! My daughter is still alive, thank God!"
Li Zhuang burst into laughter, feeling extremely excited.
Lin Jinyan handed Li Yingzi to the other party and gently reminded: "The child was frightened. When she wakes up, she must be properly guided and comforted so that she can get out of this nightmare as soon as possible."
"I understand, thank this............" Li Zhuang didn't know how to address her, glanced at Lu Ren, and tentatively shouted, "Mrs. Lu?"
Lin Jinyan hadn't gotten angry yet, but Lu Ren couldn't hold it anymore.
"Li Zhuang! What are you shouting? This is Lord Lin!" He corrected seriously.
"Oh... I understand, you haven't gotten married yet, look at my head, it's really stupid. ”
Lu Ren: “.........”
“Anyway, Master Lu, Master Lin, you saved my daughter’s life, and I cannot repay you enough. If you don’t mind, why don’t you let her worship you as her godfather and godmother?”
Lu Ren said: “Isn’t this inappropriate?”
Lin Jinyan nodded slightly, and the word “good” came out of her mouth.
Lu Ren: “???”
He couldn’t help but feel suspicious: What’s going on with Lin Jinyan? Could she be possessed by Wang Min?
