"Your mother is our little sister Nineteenth Sister!" Shi Liu added.

"Nineteenth sister? Doesn't my mother have a name?" Qiqige asked.

"Yes... but your mother didn't think it sounded good, so she asked us to call her Nineteenth Sister. We were not allowed to call her by her name."

"Uncle, what's her name?"

Qiqige's eyes lit up and he became interested.

"My nickname is Cuihua!" Shi Liu said calmly.

Qi Qige covered his mouth with a round fan to avoid laughing out loud.

This name has such a local flavor. I think of my mother's magnificent demeanor in my memory. When paired with this name, I have an inexplicable feeling. No wonder my mother has never said this name.

"...After that night, I fell asleep for three days, and when I woke up, I was already a slave. I stayed in that family on the grassland for two years before I found an opportunity to escape..."

"What I wanted to do was leave the grassland and go back to the vicinity of Qianji City to look for people. Unfortunately, I didn't make it. I was hungry and fainted on the way."

"Later, I was taken into Hongyan Mountain by a passing knight. It turned out that he was a farmer in the mountain..."

Shi Liu raised his eyes and looked at Qiqige and said, "You should know what will happen next."

Qi Qiqi said: "What I know is only some records in the case files. They talk about how uncle, how did you organize the farmers in the mountains and the nearby herdsmen to form a horse team to roam around Hongyan Mountain, that is, the famous Hongyan Horse Thief."

Rise up.”

"But, I don't know how you, uncle, got in touch with my mother..."

"Wrong, it was not me who contacted your mother, but your mother who contacted me... That year, when I had just established myself in Shiyan Mountain, someone sent me a letter, and it was your mother.

...After that, after a while, someone came to see her off, and at the same time brought my reply back, but never revealed her current whereabouts."

"It turns out that my mother has never told you her identity." Qiqige said in surprise.

"Only now do I understand the reason for this." Shi Liu's expression was serious and heavy.

"Back then, after we got separated that night, she was also brought to the grassland by the grassland people. Later she grew up on the grassland. She found me, but she didn't intend to tell me where she was. There was only one reason, that

It’s just that her body was damaged... The night she was taken away, she was poisoned. The poison was not fatal, but it was always damaging her life span, so she didn’t know when she would die..."

"No wonder my mother takes medicine every day, and no wonder my father becomes depressed every once in a while." Qi Qiqi suddenly understood. Now she matched what Shi Liu said with many of her previous experiences, and realized that she had overlooked many details before.

Come to think of it, it's impossible that his father didn't know that his mother was poisoned. He must have tried every means but could not completely remove the poison.

My mother's short lifespan may be due to this poison.

"I think your father must have tried his best. There is no cure for that kind of poison. Originally, he could only live for five or six years at most. But in the end, Nineteenth Sister lived many more years. Mostly because of the medicine.

Because of that." Shi Liu sighed again.

"Uncle, where were the other people back then?" Qiqige asked.

His mother was suffering so much. Thinking of the things he saw when he was a child, Qiqi Ge felt very depressed. His mother had been taking medicine all the time, and it must be very hard to live.

"A few of the other people were contacted one after another, and some disappeared completely. Just like the big brother, they can't be found. It's been so many years. Maybe they are no longer alive."

Shi Liu didn't have high expectations. In the troubled times back then, it was not easy to survive in the dark night and get separated among the soldiers.

Those sad emotions have long gone away from him. They were once painful, but now they don't matter anymore.

"Let the past be past. If we are destined, we might meet again in the future... Qi Qige, please tell us about your visit to Hongyan Mountain this time. Why did Qinggeltai send people to arrest you?"

Shi Liu didn't mince words and said it directly.

"It's really Qing Ge Tai who is looking for you." Qiqi Ge was confirmed by Shi Liu. Even though she had already targeted Qing Ge Tai before, there was still a trace of luck before she got the confirmation.

mentality, but now, this trace of luck has been completely shattered.

"His letter is here."

Shi Liu took out Qinggeltai's letter directly.

Since this matter involved his niece, he no longer had to hide it. In turn, he had to help Qiqige seek justice.

Qiqige picked up the letter paper and began to read it.

While Qiqige was reading the letter, Shi Liu stared at her, sighed slowly and said: "You look very much like your mother. When we separated, your mother was not very old, but her eyes were...

The nose is exactly the same as yours."

Shi Liu's words made Qiqige miss her mother again. Two years later, whenever she was vulnerable, she wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms and cry.

After her mother passed away, she no longer loved her relatives so wholeheartedly, and she had to bear all the injuries she suffered by herself.

"Who was responsible for my mother's poison back then? Uncle, have you found out?" Qiqige raised his head and asked.

"No, I still don't have enough strength. The inside story of this matter is very deep. Unless I look for the internal files of Qianji City, but I can't do it. I'm afraid your mother can't do it herself, even if she can use the power of Iron Teeth and Golden Tent.

, but it still doesn’t work, Daqi’s internal files belong to the royal family’s secret guards, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to check them.” Shi Liu said with self-blame in his tone.

He has tried his best, but no matter how powerful he is, he is just the leader of a horse thief. The reason why he has not been wiped out is because he is in a chaotic place and occupies a barren red rock mountain. No one is free to take care of it.

It's just him.

In terms of true strength, he is not very strong, and it is even more impossible for him to contact the hidden guards of Da Qi.

"So, if you want to solve the mystery of that year, it's best to check the internal files of the Yinwei?" Qi Qiqi asked.

"right!"

"If that's the case, maybe I can find a way." Qiqige said in a deep voice.

"It's best if you have connections. If we can find out who harmed us and your mother, then I can rest in peace even if I die." A hint of joy appeared on Shi Liu's face.

"Moreover, let's not talk about the archives. Let's talk about what I know about what happened back then... It's not over yet, there's still revenge to be taken!" Shi Liu continued.

"It wasn't until later that I realized that the person that my eldest brother killed on the street was not me, but his substitute. And that person has now left Qianji City and gone to Licheng!"

"What! That man is not dead and went to Licheng. Isn't that the fiefdom of Prince Nan?"
