Evil Cannot Prevail over Good
The little girl was dazed and almost woke up, but was coaxed to sleep by Peng Wu again.
After settling the little girl down, Peng Wu turned around and saw her two lost and found baby sons. She couldn't help but shed tears. The mother and the three children hugged each other and cried.
After calming down a little, Peng Wu asked the children if they were hungry. The youngest son said he was hungry, so Peng Wu took him to the kitchen to make supper. The eldest son took the initiative to stay and look after his sister.
"Mom, the island owner grandpa is back, and an aunt jumped into the water." The youngest son said to Peng Wu.
Feng Ming had secretly informed Peng Wu about Mo Yan's return. Peng Wu suspected that the aunt her son saw jumping into the water might be Su Liang, and her face showed worry. Although her children were back, they were still on Xingluo Island and couldn't get away. She believed Gu Ling's promise, but still felt uneasy and didn't know what would happen next.
"Mom, is Dad asleep?"
Peng Wu came back to her senses after hearing this, looked at her youngest son, and saw him eagerly waiting for an answer, and sighed in her heart. She never had any feelings for the man who forced her to beat and abuse her, only hatred deep in her bones. The only regret that Peng Wu had after that man left was that she could not kill him, even though he was the biological father of her two children.
But for Peng Wu, her only relative on the island was her son, and that man had nothing to do with the three of them. Apart from feeling disgusted, Peng Wu did not feel sorry for the children because she would take good care of them. They might need a father, but they did not need a father with such a bad character.
Since meeting Gu Ling and Feng Ming, Peng Wu had hope, and now she was just waiting for the opportunity to take her children back to the Peng family, which was her real home, with her real relatives.
"He's gone." Peng Wu did not lie to her son and told the truth calmly, "They were afraid that the island owner would come back to harm them, so they all ran away."
The child could not understand this and his eyes turned red, "Will Dad come back?"
Peng Wu had never let the children see the humiliation and abuse she had suffered in the past, because she did not want to cause psychological harm to the children, so she knew that the father in the minds of the two children was not a bad person.
Peng Wu shook her head, "They will not come back, and we will leave in the future."
"Dad doesn't want me and my brother anymore." The child was very sad.
"Don't cry for someone who is not worth it." Peng Wu, who was always the most gentle to children, showed a stern look, "For that kind of person, just treat him as if he doesn't exist. If he abandons you, you should abandon him too."
The child was frightened and stopped crying instantly. He stared at Peng Wu blankly. After a while, he stood up from the small stool, went behind Peng Wu, and stretched out his little hands to hug her legs, "Mom won't abandon us, right?"
Peng Wu turned around and hugged her son, "Of course not. It's okay, don't be afraid, wait a few days, mom will take you home, there are great grandfather, grandparents, and uncle at home."
The child had never heard Peng Wu mention the Peng family, and couldn't help but curious, "Where is grandpa's house?"
Peng Wu smiled, "It's far, far away, it's beautiful, and it snows a lot in winter."
The child's eyes lit up, "My brother and I want to go to a place where it snows in winter!" Because Peng Wu told them about snow, the child yearned for it.
Peng Wu continued to cook. The child asked about the Peng family, and Peng Wu talked about the most beautiful past in her memory.
Midnight snacks are the best. Peng Wu took the youngest son back to the room and called the eldest son to eat together.
"My sister is still sleeping." The eldest son just sat down and heard his younger brother say, "Brother, mother said that father doesn't want us anymore!"
The eldest son pursed his lips and said, "I know."
"Mom also said that she would take us to grandpa's house in a few days! Grandpa's house is great, it snows in winter, and Taigong is a very powerful general!" The youngest son was very excited.
The eldest son looked at Peng Wu, and Peng Wu nodded gently, "Yes, we will go home in a few days, back to our real home."
...
Feng Ming had been waiting in the octagonal pavilion until the second half of the night, when he saw Gu Ling come back.
"Prince, are you okay?" Feng Ming asked. He wanted to know if Su Liang was captured by Mo Yan.
Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "What he captured was a substitute, Yan Shiba pretending to be him, and there are other hostages."
Feng Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the one captured is not the master, it's fine. As for the others, we will find a way."
"Mo Yan released the three children in the cave, and Sheng Yue has sent them to Peng Wu." Gu Ling said.
Feng Ming's face lit up, "That's great! Even if there are still hostages, as long as the children are released, it will be much better."
"You go find Peng Wu and ask her to prepare and leave before dawn." Gu Ling said.
Feng Ming's face was shocked, "If she only takes the children, I'm afraid she can't leave? It's not safe on the road."
"Let my master escort them." Gu Ling said, "I'll go find them, and you go to help Peng Wu pack up and prepare."
"Yes." Feng Ming took the order and left the octagonal pavilion with Gu Ling, heading in the same direction.
…
In the cave, Mo Yan and Sheng Yue waited a little longer this time than last time. Yan Shiba emerged, choked on the water, struggled with her hands, and sank again.
Sheng Yue jumped into the water to save Yan Shiba without waiting for Mo Yan's instructions, and quickly pulled her up.
Yan Shiba didn't have the strength to stop Sheng Yue from touching her this time. Sheng Yue supported her and patted her back heavily. She spit out a few mouthfuls of water, began to cough, and gasped for air, looking very embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yan looked disappointed, and there was still no warmth in his eyes, but he asked coldly, "How about this time?"
After a while, Yan Shiba took a breath and answered, "I didn't see it."
Mo Yan's face darkened, "I don't believe it!"
Yan Shiba looked at Mo Yan coldly, "You don't know what the hell is down there, and I don't know either. Now I'm risking my life to explore the way for you. If you don't believe it, just go down by yourself! I don't know how to respond. Well, I tried my best this time, but the white light didn’t appear again! Maybe it only appeared once a day, maybe it only happened at a certain time every day!”
Mo Yan snorted coldly, "You are deliberately stalling for time, waiting for Gu Ling to save you."
Yan Shiba nodded, "That's right. I don't have any strength in my body right now. I want to rest. I can't go on anymore for the time being."
"I thought you didn't want Gu Ling to fall into my hands." Mo Yan said coldly.
"Of course, my brain is not flooded. But these are two different things." Yan Shiba frowned, "First, I tried my best, but I didn't find anything new, which is true. Second, I don't want to leave, I don't want to die, even if It’s true that you really want to force me to leave, and I also want to say goodbye to my man. You don’t think that the road through time is open for me, and I can still choose not to go in, right? The situation can only mean that I haven’t seen the opportunity to leave yet.”
Mo Yan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the last two sentences, "Su Liang, don't play tricks."
"Anyway, if you don't believe what I say, then you have nothing to say." Yan Shiba stood up and wrapped himself in the quilt on the small bed, "Even if you want to kill innocent people to force me to go down again, wait for me After my body has fully recovered, I am now very cold, tired and irritable.”
Without saying a word, Mo Yan walked towards Yan Shiba and put his hand on her shoulder.
Then, Sheng Yue saw Yan Shiba disappear from his eyes again.
Mo Yan turned around and asked Sheng Yue, "Do you think what she said is true?"
Sheng Yue replied respectfully, "She is a very smart person. I think her words may be true or false."
"How can I make her leave willingly?" Mo Yan asked Sheng Yue as well as himself.
Sheng Yue sighed slightly, "I'm afraid Gu Ling will show up tomorrow. Now Su Liang should be waiting for Gu Ling to save her, and will not be willing to explore the way for the master. Perhaps, when the master catches Gu Ling, Su Liang will He was really obedient.”
Mo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is the only way."
Sheng Yue asked if it was necessary to search Gu Ling's location.
Mo Yan shook his head, "No. We will guard the forbidden area and wait for him to show up. If we go to find him, we may fall into some kind of trap."
"Master's words make sense." Sheng Yue nodded.
"Master, I'm here. You can go and rest. Come back at dawn. I've worked hard for you these days." Mo Yan said.
"To be on the safe side, my disciple will rest here. If he leaves the forbidden area alone, I'm afraid he will be caught or killed by Gu Ling." Sheng Yue said.
"That's fine." Mo Yan nodded.
…
Peng Wu had just finished supper with his two sons and was about to wash them and tell them to go to bed quickly. The younger son's head was starting to pound a little bit.
Seeing Feng Ming suddenly appear, Peng Wu's eldest son looked wary, but immediately recognized him, "Uncle Feng, didn't you leave a long time ago?"
Peng Wu told the two children that Feng Ming was one of their own and had helped her a lot.
Feng Ming smiled at the two children, and then quickly said to Peng Wu, "There is no time to say too much, the prince asked you to leave Xingluo Island tonight. Get ready now, bring more clothes for the children, and bring as much food as possible. "
Peng Wu was stunned for a moment, "Should I take my children? I don't know the direction, and I don't know how to sail a boat. And now I have three children. If I encounter a storm at sea..." This is a very real problem.
Feng Ming shook his head, "Your Majesty went to the next door to make arrangements. Someone will escort you, so don't worry about that."
Peng Wu looked happy, "Really? That's great, thank you! Thank you so much!" Then he asked Feng Ming if this would delay Gu Ling's business.
Feng Ming shook his head, "No, you don't have to worry. The prince must have considered what he decided. If you stay, you may be captured by Mo Yan again and use it to threaten us."
When Peng Wu heard this, he immediately went to pack his luggage.
Both children were a little confused. Feng Ming walked over, rubbed their heads, and told them to rest assured that someone would escort them to their grandfather's house.
"Who is the prince?" Peng Wu's eldest son asked curiously.
"You should have seen him. He is a beautiful, god-like person." Feng Ming smiled, "And he is very, very powerful."
The eldest son thought for a while, "The one who went to meet our master that day... Sheng Yue is not our master, he is a bad guy. Is he the uncle who went to meet him in the cave that day? He is the most beautiful person I have ever seen!"
Feng Ming nodded, "Yes. He has been thinking of ways to save you."
"I knew that such a good-looking uncle must be a good person!" said the youngest son.
Feng Ming smiled, "That's not necessarily the case."
In the house next door, Gu Ling was discussing with Qiu Cong and Lao Mu who should leave.
"I'm not leaving." Qiu Cong frowned, "I've come all the way here twice, but nothing has been accomplished, and I've left you and Jing'er alone. How am I going to explain to Xiao Liang when I go back?"
"Grandpa, escorting Peng Wu, mother and son away is the business of the moment, and it is also a very important matter." Qiu Jing said seriously.
Qiu Cong frowned, "You just want me to leave so that no one will talk about you anymore, right?"
Qiu Jing shook his head, "Of course not, it's because grandpa has the most experience in living at sea and has the highest martial arts skills. After all, there are three children and a woman, and they need a safe person to protect them. Grandpa is the safest person to do this."
When Qiu Cong heard this, he didn't refute. He looked at Gu Ling and said, "You decide. If you think it's safest for me to leave, then I'll listen to you!"
Gu Ling nodded and looked at Qiu Jing, "You come too."
Qiu Jing was stunned for a moment, "Me? That's not possible! I have to stay and help!"
At this moment, they all know that Su Liang, who was captured by Mo Yan, is Yan Shiba's disguised substitute, but they are still not optimistic about what will happen next.
Lao Mu knew why Gu Ling made such an arrangement and advised him, "You two, just go back. You have been guarding Kashyapa City for so long before and haven't been able to go home during the New Year. It's time to go back and have a rest. Now the family is also We need someone to guard us. We can’t fight Mo Yan head-on here for the time being, and it’s useless to have too many people.”
Qiu Cong retorted, "Lao Mu, you can't go home for the New Year either?"
"I don't have any grandchildren. Xiao Gu is my apprentice, and your apprentice is Xiao Liang." Lao Mu shook his head.
"That's it." Gu Ling said, "You pack them up as soon as possible, take them with you, and go directly back to the capital after landing."
Qiu Jing took Gu Ling to the door alone, "You don't think you made this arrangement because I have a grandpa, a sister, and a fiancée, so nothing can happen to me?" Relatively speaking, Lao Mu and Cheng Yun were not similar. Relationships with loved ones.
Gu Ling shook his head, "No, it's just that three children need at least two people to escort them. One old and one young are the best combination. Your grandpa has the most experience at sea. But if Chengyun goes with him, it will be unsafe for both of them to do things. I don't trust them." . I also need Master to stay and help, and your grandparents are the best choice."
Qiu Jing frowned, "Okay, you've convinced me. If that's the case, then I'll leave with grandpa. What happens next..." He sighed and patted Gu Ling's shoulder, "I believe you, No matter what trouble you encounter, there is a solution, but be careful and remember that Su Liang and Nuannuan are waiting for you at home. "
"Nonsense." Gu Ling left after saying that.
Qiu Jing shook his head, "Really... If you can't say something nice, I will file a complaint with Su Liang when I get back."
There was not much time, and there might be trouble if they couldn't leave before dawn. Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing quickly packed their luggage and went next door to pick up their children.
Feng Ming held the little girl, Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing each carried one on their backs, and Lao Mu and Cheng Yun also escorted them to the beach.
Gu Ling followed secretly without showing up, to ensure that they left safely.
When they arrived at the place where Qiu Cong and the others landed, it was almost dawn.
A boat was pulled out from Tandong, and Peng Wu and the children were sent aboard first and asked to sit down.
"Uncle Feng, aren't you leaving?" Peng Wu's eldest son asked Feng Ming.
Feng Ming smiled and said, "If you still have something to do, leave as soon as you finish. I will go find you then. Listen to your mother and take good care of my sister on the way."
"Okay!" The twins nodded in unison.
Qiu Jing looked back and didn't see Gu Ling. He sighed and got on the boat with Qiu Cong.
Lao Mu and Cheng Yun waved on the shore, and their boat quickly left and sailed into the vast morning fog, gradually disappearing.
Lao Mu and Chengyun also quickly left the coast. They knew why Gu Ling didn't show up. It was for safety reasons. It was risky for them to get together. They might be captured by Mo Yan using magic weapons.
…
The sun rises, dispersing the fog on the sea, and the sky becomes brighter and warmer.
The twins fell asleep, and the little girl woke up. Peng Wu coaxed her, and she soon stopped crying.
Peng Wu carried her child out of the cabin and looked at the rising sun in the east. When she turned back, she could no longer see Xingluo Island in her sight. After so many years, she finally escaped from that devil's cave. For a moment, it felt a little unreal, like a dream.
Qiu Jing took the child over and told Peng Wu to take a nap as well. Only after he had a good rest would he have the energy to take good care of the child.
Peng Wu thanked him again, then lay down beside his two sons and fell asleep.
Qiu Jing stood on the bow of the boat holding the little girl, holding her little hand, pointing at the birds flying in the sky, and teaching her to say, "flying birds."
The little girl's voice was crisp, "Feifei!"
Qiu Jing started laughing and turned around to see Qiu Cong smiling too, "I can finally go home. Whoever rushes to hug Nuannuan will be the one I'm in a hurry with!"
Qiu Jing turned back and glanced in the direction of Xingluo Island with firm eyes, "I believe evil will prevail over good, and Gu Ling will be fine."
