Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 137 Hibiscus
After breakfast, the guests went back to their rooms and didn't stay outside for long.

However, Jiang Li and Meng Jue took advantage of the shopkeeper's free time to inquire about the location of the Qiu family.

“The Qiu family is not far from our inn.

All you have to do is walk along this road, turn left and walk about 200 steps, then turn left again and walk about 100 steps. The family with two stone lions standing at the door is the Qiu family.

But it’s not safe outside. No one dares to stay outside now. You must be careful if you go out.”

Shopkeeper Zhou kindly reminded.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. We will be careful."

Jiang Li paid for accommodation and meals, then took Meng Jue and left along the route indicated by Manager Zhou.

The two men first turned left and walked more than two hundred steps, and sure enough they saw a fork in the road. They followed the shopkeeper's instructions and turned left again and walked about a hundred steps.

Sure enough, not far away I saw a courtyard with two stone lions standing at the door.

Jiang Li and Meng Jue walked to the door and knocked.

As expected, no one answered from inside the door.

But the two knew that there was someone in the house.

"Uncle Qiu, Aunt Qiu, we are here to help Miss Qiulan deliver a letter. Please open the door!"

Jiang Li shouted towards the door.

After a while, a woman who looked to be in her thirties opened the door cautiously.

"Are you really here to help our Lan'er deliver a letter?" Mother Qiu asked half-doubtfully.

"Here is the letter, you'll know when you take a look." Jiang Li handed the letter directly to Qiu's mother.

A hand stretched out from behind Qiu's mother and took the letter first.

After taking the letter, the person behind the door said "please wait a moment" and then slammed the door shut.

Jiang Li was not in a hurry. She was confident that as long as they read the letter, they would believe in her.

Fortunately, she was smart and did not let Qiu Lan write anything in the letter that would reveal her identity.

Only at the end of the letter did he write that he asked someone to take the letter home, but he did not specify who it was.

She was not going to reveal their identity as monks easily.

Soon, suppressed crying sounds were heard from inside the house.

The couple opened the door and welcomed Jiang Li and the others in.

"I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate. Please come in and sit down."

Mother Qiu wiped her tears and welcomed the two into the hall.

The Qiu family’s yard is not very big, but it is very clean.

The yard is very well maintained and you can tell at a glance that the people who live here are people who know how to live.

As soon as the two entered the house, they heard a child crying.

"I'll go check on Xiao Hu. Headmaster, please take good care of the two distinguished guests."

Father Qiu asked her to go and get busy, and he took Jiang Li and Meng Jue to sit down.

Jiang Li looked in the direction where the crying sound came from, "That child..."

"That's my second child who was born last year. His name is Qiuhu and he's one year old this year.

Lan'er doesn't know she has a brother yet. If she knew, she would be so happy."

When Mr. Qiu talked about his daughter, his eyes were red.

It can be seen that both Mr. and Mrs. Qiu love their children very much.

The emotions revealed when talking about Qiu Lan didn't seem fake.

The two talked for a while.

Father Qiu has been asking about Qiu Lan's situation in Wanfa.

Jiang Li also picked up some of the things he knew and told them to Qiu's father.

Knowing that his daughter was fine, Father Qiu felt a little relieved.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Li said to Father Qiu:
"Uncle Qiu, do you have anything to tell Miss Qiulan? We can bring it back for you when we go back."

"Yes, you two sit for a while. I'll go into the house to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I'll be back soon!" After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

Just at this time, Mrs. Qiu came over holding her fat son.

"This is what Qiu Lan asked me to bring back." Seeing Qiu's mother coming out with the child in her arms, Jiang Li took out Qiu Lan's silver lock on his own initiative.

When she saw the little silver lock, Qiu's mother's eyes became red again.

"This is Lan'er's little silver lock. She has been wearing it since she was a child."

I hold it in my hand cherishingly and touch it again and again.

"Miss Qiulan was afraid that you two wouldn't believe us, so she took this silver lock as a token of trust."

"We believe it, we believe it!" Mother Qiu grabbed the small silver lock, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"I just don't know how you two know our Qiu Lan?"

Jiang Li told Qiu's mother what he had said to Shopkeeper Zhou.

Knowing that the two of them worked in the kitchen of Wanfa Sect, their attitude became closer.

Father Qiu came back with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and discussed with Mother Qiu how to write back to their daughter.

We haven't seen each other for two years. The family has a lot to say to our daughter, but I guess it will take a while to finish this letter.

Jiang Li didn't say anything and let Father Qiu write the letter while she talked to Mother Qiu.

Soon, she turned the topic to the recent events in Xiaofu Town.

Originally, Qiu's mother didn't want to say anything, as if she was worried about something.

It was not until Jiang Li pulled Qiu Lan out that Qiu Zhong finally let go.

She finally learned the secret hidden in this town.

"What a sin! It's really a sin!" Mother Qiu said the word "sin" twice and began to tell Jiang Li a story.

The protagonist of the story is a girl named Furong.

This girl is a famous tofu beauty in the town. She is beautiful and is pursued by countless men.

Furong's family had high standards and wanted to find a good family for their daughter, so they were not in a hurry to arrange a marriage for her.

Who knew that if you stayed for a while, something bad would happen.

The Zhao family in the north of the city had a son who was accepted as a disciple by an immortal from the Mingyang Sect, and was taught personally by him.

The Zhao family suddenly became famous in Xiaofu Town, and became more famous than the Qiu family.

After all, although Qiu Lan of the Qiu family was able to join the Wanfa Sect, he was only an outer disciple and was not comparable to a direct disciple.

Not to mention that the master that the kid from the Zhao family worshipped was a combined cultivator from the Mingyang Sect.

Although the people living in the town are all mortals, they still know a thing or two about the realm of monks.

The cultivators in the fusion stage are truly powerful enough to move mountains and fill the sea. They are just a bunch of mortals, and they can be killed by just a sneeze.

The people of the Zhao family became completely arrogant and acted arrogantly everywhere in the town, and even started to rape women.

This Furong was snatched away by the Zhao family.

The father of the young man from the Zhao family took the lead in snatching Furong back. He first insulted Furong and then wanted to force her to marry him.

Furong pretended to agree and hanged herself when she returned.

"Before Furong died, she dyed her clothes and shoes red with her own blood, and even hanged herself in her bloodstained red clothes with her last breath.

I still remember the day when Furong hanged herself. The red moon was in the sky. That night, all the cats and dogs in our town barked like crazy for the whole night..."

"On the seventh day after Furong's death, the entire Zhao family was slaughtered and their bodies were cut into pieces, leaving no body intact.

The next to die were the other two families who helped the Zhao family oppress Furong. Ever since the Zhao family became rich, those two families had been accomplices and helped the Zhao family do many bad things.

Three families were wiped out in succession, one of which was the Zhao family. This matter was so big that the mayor had to write a letter to the Wanfa Sect for help.

I originally wanted to let the immortals from the Wanfa Sect take Furong away, so that even if the boy from the Zhao family came back in the future, there would be an explanation.

I didn’t expect that even the immortals from the Wanfa Sect couldn’t do anything to Furong…”

Jiang Li: "Are you sure that the murderer is really Furong?"
