Bai Yin firmly told herself that the person in front of her was definitely not Ah Jin.
Even if his Ah Jin grew up, he would not look like this.
Coincidentally, Song Zhi, who had gone out to collect the charcoal, returned.
He saw the scene in front of him as soon as he arrived.
He was shocked.
This...
His footsteps suddenly halted.
When Lian Que saw Song Zhi, he knew that his chance to escape had come.
Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Yin was staring at him, he pushed her away and jumped in front of Song Zhi.
He caught Song Zhi from behind!
His fingers were locked around his throat.
Song Zhi was so shocked that he could not even scream. His body involuntarily leaned back.
The pot of charcoal in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
It landed on his foot.
"Ugh!"
That hurt!
Jing Rong immediately grabbed his guard's sword and pointed it at Lian Que. "Let him go!"
Lian Que replied, "I can let him go, but let me leave."
"Fine!"
He did not hesitate.
He was really worried that Lian Que would kill Song Zhi.
If that bookworm died because of this, they would become sinners!
But Bai Yin was unwilling. After all, Lian Que had broken free from her hand. If she had not been distracted, things would not have turned out this way.
He said, "You can't let him go."
He blocked the way.
Jing Rong shouted, "Get out of the way."
"But..."
"Don't tell me you want to exchange Song Zhi's life for his?"
Of course not!
Bai Yin clenched her fists. She was angry that she was distracted at this time. Forget it.
In the end, she could only retreat.
Lian Que threatened Song Zhi and walked towards the door.
Song Zhi's face was deathly pale.
When they reached the door, Lian Que whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I won't take your life. You just have to follow me to the alley entrance."
Strangely, Song Zhi trusted him.
The pale color on his face gradually disappeared.
He obediently allowed Lian Que to force him to the entrance of the alley.
Jing Rong, Bai Yin, and the rest slowly followed behind.
When they reached the alley entrance, Lian Que whispered in Song Zhi's ear, "Thank you!"
After saying that, she pushed him away and leaped up, disappearing into the quiet night.
When Jing Rong and Bai Yin caught up, they saw Song Zhi coughing violently while pressing his neck.
"Are you alright?" Jing Rong asked.
Song Zhi shook his head. "I … I'm fine, but … who is that person?"
"Not sure."
Bai Yin looked into the distance and said, "I'll go after them."
"Stop chasing." Jing Rong stopped him.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been distracted just now, I would have cut him into pieces."
"What were you thinking about?"
"I..." Bai Yin glanced at Song Zhi, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
By the time everyone returned to the old mansion, Ji Yunshu was already standing in the courtyard.
She picked up the sword that Lian Que had dropped.
He looked at it carefully.
There were some beautiful patterns embroidered on the sword hilt.
It did not feel cumbersome in his hands.
Seeing that they had returned, she quickly asked, "How was it?"
Jing Rong said, "He ran away."
"Fortunately, none of you were injured." Ji Yunshu asked Song Zhi, "Young Master Song, how are you?"
"I'm fine. It's just that my feet hurt."
He had been hit by a basin filled with charcoal.
As he said that, he suddenly remembered the charcoal and hurriedly ran over.
His heart ached as he picked up the pieces of charcoal.
They were all money!
He had completely forgotten about the danger he had just been in.
Jing Rong noticed the sword in Ji Yunshu's hand and asked, "Was this left behind by that person?"
"Yes. I think this sword is different from the usual ones. It's very light."
"Let me see." Bai Yin took it.
When he held the sword in his hand, a scene suddenly flashed in his mind.
A short person was standing in front of him, holding the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a sentence flashed in his ear, "Ah Jin, wait for me to grow up. I will definitely protect you. If anyone dares to hurt you, I will use this sword to fight them."
It was familiar, yet strange.
Jing Rong noticed that something was wrong with him. He had felt it strange when he saw that person just now.
He put his hand on Bai Yin's shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Bai Yin did not speak. She stared blankly at the sword in her hand.
Then, she silently walked away.
It was as if she had lost her soul.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu looked at each other.
'What's going on?'
After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.
Bai Yin held the sword in her hand and sat in the pavilion in the backyard.
She was in a daze.
Jing Rong walked over.
He could guess what was going on. He asked, "Are you remembering something from the past?"
Huh!
Bai Yin's face flashed with astonishment. She looked at him in surprise. "Why do you ask?"
"You told me before that you seemed to have seen that person somewhere. When you saw him just now, you were in a daze again, and now you're holding the sword he left behind and staring blankly. That's why I'm guessing that you might really know him."
"I really can't hide anything from you. You didn't tell Yunshu, did you? "
"No."
"That's good."
Jing Rong sat down opposite her. "Tell me, what are you remembering?"
Bai Yin looked at the sword in her hand. Her fingertip lightly stroked the surface. She said, "I won't hide it from you. I really feel that not only have I seen that person, but I'm also very familiar with this sword. It's like I've seen it before. I've even touched it before. It's just that my memory is fragmented."
"What are the specifics?" "When I picked up this sword, a figure suddenly flashed across my mind. It was the figure of a child. I also heard someone calling me … It sounded like he was calling my name. But in the blink of an eye, I couldn't remember his name. I don't know if my past … has anything to do with that person just now?
Or does it have something to do with this sword? "
"Let me take a look."
Jing Rong took the sword from her.
The hilt was engraved with exquisite patterns. However, because it had been wielded for so long, the patterns had been polished until they were very shiny.
"This sword is really light! Moreover, it's very intricate. It's definitely not an ordinary sword. "
"What did you find out?"
Jing Rong shook his head. "Nothing."
He prepared to give the sword to Bai Yin.
However, just as he was about to hand it over, the blade suddenly flashed.
It was this flash that made him realize that there seemed to be something engraved on the sword's blade.
"Wait! There's something on it. "
Jing Rong immediately took the sword and walked over to a lantern.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, the sharp blade glimmered with a faint pattern.
Jing Rong turned the blade around to examine it.
After a while, he finally saw the pattern engraved on the blade.
Bai Yin stood to the side.
She asked, "What is it?"
Jing Rong was shocked. "Peacock. The pattern on the blade is that of a peacock."
"Peacock?"
