At dawn, the carriage stopped in front of the old inn where Ma Jingguo had visited many times. Ma Jingguo got out of the carriage and reached out to Li Howin who was following closely behind Ma Jingguo.
Chao Yanmei said, "Chief, Wen Qianbei sent a message saying that everything is ready."
Ma Jingguo said, "I don't want to wait any longer, I want to save shifu within three days."
Chao Yanmei nodded and said, "I will ask everyone to be prepared."
Ma Jingguo stepped into the main entrance, and Ma Jingguo stopped advancing. He listened to the soft guzheng melody resounding throughout the inn. Ma Jingguo is very familiar with this sound. As he approached the person sitting behind the light green curtain, his heart beat faster and faster. Ma Jingguo stepped onto the stage and stood in front of the people behind the curtains.
Ma Jingguo said, "Open the curtains."
The two men opened the curtains, and sitting in front of Ma Jingguo was Mu Dishi looking at him with a smile while playing the guzheng.
Ma Jingguo's heart was pounding. He approached and knelt in front of Mu Dishi on one knee. He smiled and said, "Xiao shushu." He stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Dishi's hand.
"Please let go of my hand."
Ma Jingguo blinked and looked at his hand. The hand he was holding was not the hand of Mu Dishi, but the hand of a young woman. Ma Jingguo quickly pulled his hand away. He looked at the woman coldly and asked, "Who taught you the Guzheng tune?"
Young woman, "I taught myself."
Ma Jingguo took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and said, "To tell the truth, this gold ingot belongs to you. If you tell lies, everyone on stage, including you, will die." He looked at the young woman. "Who taught you the Guzheng tune?"
Young woman, "Wen da ge, in Wu Village."
Ma Jingguo asked, "This Wen da ge, is he very handsome, with long silky black hair. He has a pair of phoenix eyes and his martial arts is also very high, right?"
Young woman, "No, he is a handsome man, but Wen da ge is not good at martial arts."
Ma Jingguo asked, "How come?"
Young woman, "Wen da ge is a one-armed man. "
Ma Jingguo said, "Can you take me to see him?" He took out his money bag and put it in the hands of the young woman. "Take me to see him, this bag of money is yours."
The young lady agreed to take Ma Jingguo to Wu Village, not far from Li Village. Ma Jingguo feels very familiar with the environment setting. The layout of the small house looks like Ma Jingguo and Mu Dishui's home in Tianshan.
The young woman said, "Wen da ge lives here." She looked at Ma Jingguo. "Can I leave now?"
Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "Thank you mienu."
Ma Jingguo happily walked into the house, into the kitchen, and placed a basket of food that he had brought earlier by the stove. He began to wash the vegetables.
Li Howin asked, "Yuan jiejie, what is the chief doing? This is the first time I saw the chief cook happily."
Yuan Chaomei said, "Don't bother him."
It took Ma Jingguo nearly three hours to cook all the dishes that Mu Dishi liked to eat. He carefully put the dishes with two bowls of rice on the table. He sat patiently waiting for Mu Dishi.
As time passed, and there was no sign of Mu Dishi, Ma Jingguo became angry and asked everyone to find Mu Dishi. When it was dark, there was no sign of Mu Dishi returning home. Yuan Chaomei also told Ma Jingguo that there was no sign that Mu Dishi was living there.
Yuan Chaomei, "I'm sorry, we searched everywhere, and even the people in the village confirmed that Wen da ge comes and goes like a ghost. I don't think this person is Mu gongzi."
Ma Jingguo said, "Chaomei, I'm not crazy, I knew that the person living here is xiao shushu." He looked at Yuan Chaomei. "The guzheng tune played in the inn was the one xiao shushu taught me to play when he was practicing the Killer Strings. In this world, there are only two people who know this tune. One is me... the other is xiao shushu..."
Yuan Chaomei, "Chief, but everyone said that the person living in this house is a one-armed person. If it is a one-armed person, that person is definitely not Mu gongzi."
Ma Jingguo knew that there was a high possibility that this person was not Mu Dishi. He personally collected Mu Dishi's bones from the Mu treasure cave. He stood up and began to take his followers away, because he knew he had to save his shifu.
A moment after Ma Jingguo took his men and left, a weak and pale sick man walked to the small house. He sat down the bamboo basket on the ground and stared at the four different dishes on the table. He walked to the table and slowly removed the plate covering the food with his right hand. The first dish is garlic tofu, the second dish is mustard green with pork belly, and the third dish is vegetable stir-fry. The weak and pale man slowly walked away.
Not too long after the sick man left, another man walked in and sat down. He picked up the bowl of rice and the chopsticks, and began to eat the leftover food left by Ma Jingguo.
An old woman ran over, "Ah Wan...Ah Wan…"
The man turned to look at the old woman. Wang Biming smiled and said, "Wu ayi, what's wrong?"
The old woman said, "Someone is here looking for Wen da ge."
Wang Biming said, "Wen da ge should be here."
The old woman said, "I haven't seen him."
Wang Biming said, "He should be home soon. You see, he has already cooked for me."
The old woman said, "Ah Wan, Wen da ge only has one arm, don't treat him badly."
Wan Biming smiled and said, "I have never treated him badly, he has always been bad to me."
The old woman smiled, "It's true what you said, it's late, I'm going to bed now."
The young woman rushed into the inn. She went straight to Ma Jingguo. She was panting heavily. She thought, if she brought the big news of Wen da ge has returned home, Ma Jingguo would give her more money. She said, "Chief leader, chief leader, Wen da ge is home. Wen da ge is home."
Ma Jingguo didn't look at the young woman. Instead, he pulled Li Howin into his arms and kissed Li Howin. After they parted their lips, Ma Jingguo looked at the young woman.
The young woman said, "Wen da ge is home."
Ma Jingguo said, "Look lady, I have better things to do. You leave before my men kill you." Ma Jingguo continued to kiss Li Howin.
One of the guards grabbed the young woman's hand and dragged her towards the door. The guard sternly said, "Get out."
The young woman raised her head and stared at the pale sick man. She shouted, "Wen da ge!"
Ma Jingguo turned his head and looked at the door, only to see those icy phoenix eyes flashing past him. The type of phoenix eyes that when the person stared at you, it made your back chill. Ma Jingguo forcefully pushed Li Howin to the ground and rushed towards the door. Wen da ge's agility skill is very fast, maybe faster than Ma Jingguo. Ma Jingguo's fingertips only touched the smooth silky hair of Wen da ge.
Ma Jingguo ran along the dark streets, chasing Wen da ge who was running on the roof, hoping from house to house. His eyes were fixed on Wen da ge. Then he quickly flew up to the rooftop and started chasing Wen da ge. The two chased from the roof to the other roof. At the end of the last house, Wen da ge rose from the rooftop, threw three golden needles at Ma Jingguo, and then jumped out of the house. Ma Jingguo quickly grabbed the three golden needles with his hands, and flew down the rooftop, but there was no sign of Wen da ge.
Ma Jingguo desperately searched around the area. Ma Jingguo shouted, "Xiao shushu…Please come out…Xiao shushu…I really miss you…please come out." He knelt on the ground. "Xiao shushu, please come out. I just want to see you."
Wen da ge walked slowly towards the small house. He spat out blood. When he was about to fall, Wang Biming hugged his waist to prevent him from falling. Wang Biming said softly, "Dishi…" He wiped the blood from Mu Dishi's lips with his handkerchief. "You know very well that you should not use your inner energy. Are you injured elsewhere?"
Mu Dishi didn't answer.
Wang Biming said, "Seeing with your own eyes, are you willing to accept it now." He looked at Mu Dishi pale handsome face. "Dishi, no one in this world loves you more than I love you. He said he will love you a hundred times more than I love you, but within a year he has forgotten you."
Mu Dishi pulled away Wang Biming's hands.
Wang Biming said, "Follow me back to Tibet. We can live peacefully raising cattles and sheeps."
Mu Dishi said coldly, "Wang Biming, you are still alive because you saved me. You only have ten years to live. You should spend it wisely instead of trying to convince me to go back with you."
Wang Biming, "I would rather stay by your side for ten years, and let you kill me at that time, at least it's worth it."
Mu Dishi looked at Wang Biming coldly, "Whatever." He pushed away Wang Biming's hand and disappeared into the back forest.
Wang Biming stood there watching Mu Dishi disappeared into the woods. He sighed, "You can come out now."
