Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 136 Chaotian Temple

"I saw that she was so young, sitting alone on the bus late at night, so I asked her what her name was..."

"She said her name was Lin Yunduo, she was five years old, and she wanted to go home to see her parents. Her mother once told her that if she took bus No. 6 and stopped at six stations, she would get to her home..."

Duoduo was grinning foolishly, but Lin Jianming and Song Qingwei were so worried that they could hardly breathe.

Shen Siyuan's words seemed to bring them back to the past.

"When she was talking, she held her head with both hands. I saw that there were hideous wounds on her neck and there was a huge gap. I was really worried that her head would fall off..."

"Then she lowered her head because she was sad, and her little head really fell off..."

Hearing this, Song Qingwei looked at Duoduo's neck again, while Lin Jianming looked puzzled. His eyes fell on Duoduo's neck, and then he noticed that there was a thin blue line on her neck.

Duoduo herself did not feel sad. She struggled to get off her mother's legs, and pulled her head off again with both hands.

"Hehe, I'm so awesome." She said proudly.

Such an action seemed very strange and terrifying, but everyone present only felt sad, even Ruan Hongzhuang.

Lin Jianming covered his chest with his hands and stared at the criss-crossing, hideous wounds on Duoduo's neck.

As a former policeman, he understood what had happened almost immediately.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was overwhelmed by the huge grief. He felt dizzy, weak all over and almost unable to breathe.

"Beast...beast..."

He cursed in anger.

Seeing this, Song Qingwei hurried forward to comfort and calm him down.

When Duoduo saw this, she quickly put her head back on her neck and asked worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"No...I'm fine..."

Lin Jianming covered his chest and gasped, but he held back his tears.

Seeing the wound, he knew better than Song Qingwei what Duoduo had experienced.

He held Duoduo in his arms and buried his head in her tender shoulders.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's Daddy who's sorry for you... Please forgive Daddy..."

The huge grief completely overwhelmed him, and he just kept apologizing mechanically.

Ruan Hongzhuang was also secretly wiping her tears, but then she saw Shen Siyuan looking calm, and leisurely picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, so she pouted in dissatisfaction.

Shen Siyuan reached out his hand, held her hand, smiled slightly, and then said: "Just listen to what I have to say first, there is plenty of time for you to reunite."

Song Qingwei was the first to react and quickly pulled Lin Jianming.

"I'm sorry, that's rude." She said, wiping her tears.

"It's nothing, it's understandable." Shen Siyuan said.

Then he continued speaking.

"Duoduo was kidnapped by a murderer. We don't know what happened to her afterwards, but the murderer was indeed inhumane and killed Duoduo with an axe..."

"After Duoduo died, he buried her on a remote river bank. If you want to collect her body, I will tell you the exact location..."

Lin Jianming also recovered by now and listened carefully to Shen Siyuan's narration.

Hearing this, he quickly said, "This is definitely necessary. How can we let Duoduo's body be left outside?"

Shen Siyuan continued, "I felt sorry for her, and she was well-behaved and sensible, so I took her in as my protector and promised to help her find her parents, so I made this trip to Xiajing..."

"Huh? Guardian?"

When this word came out, the couple were surprised.

Shen Siyuan smiled and said to Duoduo: "Duoduo, show your parents how powerful you are."

Upon hearing this, Duoduo immediately struggled out of Lin Jianming's arms.

She likes this, just like a child who has a new toy or delicious food, she will always show off in front of her parents, hoping that the adults can be happy with her.

But she walked a little further away, and suddenly blue flames appeared all over her body. She seemed to have turned into a fire baby, but her clothes were not affected at all.

Then the Nether Fire Firefly flew out from her chest, like a sharp sword, dancing around her up and down, making bursts of whistling sounds, which looked extremely intimidating.

Lin Jianming and his wife opened their mouths in surprise, and so did Ruan Hongzhuang, with a glittering look in her eyes. But it wasn't over yet, as Duoduo suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed at the void, and an oil-paper umbrella appeared in her hand.

I saw the blue flame on Duoduo's body spreading upward along the umbrella handle and then covering the entire umbrella.

At this moment, the pine and crane pattern on the umbrella seemed to come alive. The crane flew up and down around the umbrella, and you could even hear the sound of the crane's cry.

Lin Jianming and his wife both exclaimed in surprise.

Because this oil-paper umbrella looked too familiar to them.

Shen Siyuan signaled Duoduo to put away her magical powers, and then continued: "This is another purpose of my coming to Xiajing this time, which is to ask about the origin of this oil-paper umbrella of yours."

"Where did the umbrella come from?" Lin Jianming looked at Shen Siyuan in confusion.

Shen Siyuan nodded and said, "This umbrella is extraordinary. It has been protecting Duoduo from harm and allowing her to exist until now. So I hope you can tell me the origin of this umbrella."

The couple looked at each other, and Song Qingwei slowly recalled, "This umbrella was given to us by an old Taoist priest when we were still married and we went to a Taoist temple for a visit. It was raining heavily, so he gave us this umbrella."

"What Taoist temple? Where is it located?" Shen Siyuan asked.

Lin Jianming recalled and said, "It seems to be called Chaotian Temple, located in the western suburbs of Xiajing. We haven't been there for many years, and we don't know if it's still there."

"Thank you. I'll go over and take a look." Shen Siyuan put down the cup in his hand and was about to stand up.

"Hey, are you leaving now? Stay and have a quick meal." Lin Jianming said hurriedly.

However, Song Qingwei looked at Duoduo, her eyes full of nervousness and reluctance. She thought Duoduo was going to leave with her.

"Don't bother you for now. Duoduo has finally found you. You should have a good reunion." Shen Siyuan said.

Lin Jianming and his wife were delighted to hear this.

Then he said: "Then Mr. Shen, please leave your contact information."

Shen Siyuan shook his head and said, "Don't bother, Duoduo knows how to find me."

Lin Jianming and his wife looked at Duoduo, and Duoduo smiled smugly.

Then he suddenly pointed to a doll on the table next to him and asked, "Mom, can you give me this doll?"

This is the Xiajing silk figurine, a traditional folk art unique to Xiajing.

The head, face and hands of the "silk man" are made of silk, and the clothes, materials, ornaments, accessories, props, etc. from top to bottom are mostly made of high-quality silk and gauze.

The Juanren doll in front of him was dressed in Peking Opera style, with bright colors and was very beautiful.

Song Qingwei was stunned and nodded quickly. Lin Jianming took it directly and put it into her hand.

This silk figurine actually belonged to my grandson Taotao, but he didn’t like it after buying it, so he just left it here and didn’t take it back.

Duoduo took the Juanren doll and immediately handed it to the void beside her.

"Doudou, this is for you."

Then, in front of the surprised eyes of Lin Jianming and his wife, a little girl appeared out of nowhere, followed by another slightly bigger one.

"Thank you, sister." Doudou took it happily.

It turned out that while they were talking, Doudou was lying beside them, thinking about the doll.

Doudou took the doll in his hand and looked at it carefully, then handed it to Shen Siyuan.

"Sweet potato pot, please help me put it away."

Shen Siyuan didn't hesitate and reached out his hand, and the Juan doll disappeared in his palm.

Then he turned to the couple and explained, "They are also my protectors."

Then he said to the two little guys, "Let's go."

Xiaoyue and Doudou immediately hid their figures, raised a gust of cold wind in the house, and rushed towards the sky.

Duoduo chased to the door, raised her head and waved her little hands towards the sky.

Lin Jianming and his wife looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.

Then it was Lin Jianming who came to his senses first and respectfully escorted the two out the door.
