Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

"General, here!" A group of people at the foot of the mountain searched around for something, until a shout alerted the others who were immersed in the search.

Everyone gathered around holding torches, and saw a wooden board and carriage brocade stuck in a gap between huge rocks on the river bed.

An Jinran's eyes suddenly became sharp when he saw the brocade cloth, and he picked up the brocade cloth with his sword. The pattern on it clearly belonged to his Protectorate.

"Come here!" he shouted.

"My subordinates are here!" Two muscular guards stepped forward and said respectfully, clasping their fists.

An Jinran glanced at the two of them: "Do you know how to swim?"

The two men looked at each other and said, "Report to the general, we are from the south and grew up in the water."

"Take off your clothes and get into the water." An Jinran only gave the two of them four words. Without saying a word, the two people immediately began to take off their helmets and armor. They took off their shoes, socks and clothing to keep out the cold, leaving only a piece of clothing to cover up their shame. He jumped into the water.

The temperature in December was frighteningly low. Even if you wore a coat, you would feel chilly all over. The temperature in the water was even more chilly. However, it took the two guards half a quarter of an hour to rise from the water and emerge from the water. At that time, one of them was holding a white object in his hand, and the other had already swam to the shore.

He was undressed and first reported: "General, there is a corpse at the bottom of the river. The corpse is face down. The subordinate cannot exert any strength. It looks like it is a man."

At this time, another guard also swam up and threw the white object in his hand to the ground. An Jinran saw the white face change.

"Treading on the snow!" Sheng Huaian recognized the white mass. He squatted down and lifted it up to check. He saw that the kitten had been dead for an unknown period of time. It was swollen like a ball after being soaked in the water. The once beautiful mandarin duck eyes were now gray. There is no life at all.

Sheng Huaian's heart sank to the bottom following the cat's death. He looked at the rushing river and felt the coldness spreading from the soles of his feet to his limbs, and his whole body was as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old ice cube.

An Jinran also recognized this cat. Texue had kept it beside An Jinshu for so long, how could he not recognize it? He patted Sheng Huaian on the shoulder: "It's just a cat. I haven't seen my little sister's body. She Definitely still alive."

Sheng Huaian glanced at the body of the white cat in his hand. Yanyan's pet appeared at the bottom of the river. He died so miserably. What about Yanyan? Is there any hope of survival?

The man from the bottom of the river was quickly fished out. The man was swollen and his face was so swollen that he couldn't look straight at it. An Jinran had more than ten years of experience in identifying corpses on the battlefield. Even though the man had been soaked and looked like no one, he still recognized him. This person is not from the Protectorate.

He groped around on the other party's body, first he found a banknote, and then he found a jade pendant. The amount of the banknote was not small, and the quality of the jade pendant was also excellent. Neither of these two objects could be what the person in front of him could do. Sheng Huaian's eyes lit up when he saw these two objects: "Let me take a look."

An Jinran carefully spread the banknotes flat on the stones on the ground, and then handed him the jade pendant.

Sheng Huaian didn't think dead people and things were unlucky at all, so he took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

"The texture is soft and soft, and there is a slight warm feeling in the hand. Through the light, you can see the green silk texture inside the jade pendant. The jade pendant is made of a ring and has patterns engraved on it. It is mostly a woman's object, but there are few jade pendants of this texture in circulation on the market. It is warm. Jade is rare, and even if a noble family had it, they would never give it to others as a bargaining chip so easily."

An Jinran also saw that the jade pendant was worth a lot of money and was obviously not something ordinary people could have: "What do you mean, brother An?"

Sheng Huaian and An Jinran looked at each other and said in unison: "From the palace."

Sheng Huaian nodded: "It's just a guess, but I can't confirm it yet. It's just that the carving technique and texture of this object are similar to those of imperial tribute."

An Jinran had already calculated in his mind. He picked up the jade pendant and the banknotes on the ground and handed them to his deputy, saying, "Hurry back to Kyoto and ask your parents to carefully investigate the origins of these two items."

The deputy said yes, picked up his things and left in a hurry.

An Jinran and Sheng Huaian looked at the endless river and already had a direction to look for. Since they knew that the person fell into the river, they followed the river downstream. They could always find clues along the way, even if they died. , the two of them also have to bring the body back.

The fire gradually faded away, but a small hill rose up where they once stood. The hill was so small that it seemed like a small thing was buried. In front of the small hill was a small stone tablet carved with a sword, with the following words engraved on it:

The tomb of Yanyan’s beloved pet in the snow——

The distant conversation gradually faded away: "Brother An is indeed a scholar, and he treats an animal so kindly."

"It is a life after all. It is tragic to die in the cold river, not to mention that Yanyan loves it. I don't want Yanyan to be sad when I do this..."

The weather turned sunny in the evening, and after a day of rain, we finally saw some sunset as the sun set.

An Jinshu squatted on the stone steps in front of the house, holding a roasted black thing of unknown origin in his hand. His teeth were black when he gnawed on it.

The cow egg next to her was the same as hers, Zheng Huan was holding the black thing and chewing on it.

While gnawing on the eggs, he looked up at An Jinshu and asked, "Beautiful sister, are you blind?"

After he finished speaking, Tan Santou gave him a look and said, "How do children talk?"

Niudan shrank his neck and said softly: "I'm sorry, beautiful sister."

An Jinshu smiled softly, looked ahead without focus and said to Tan Santou: "It's okay, old gentleman, he is just curious and has no ill intentions."

When Tan Santou saw that An Jinshu didn't care, he turned his back to sort out the herbs.

"I'm not blind, I can't see because I was injured." An Jinshu said to Twisted.

Niudan thought for a moment innocently: "I understand, beautiful sister can see after her injury is healed, so why does Aunt Yang say you are blind?"

"Aunt Yang?" An Jinshu murmured, "Who is she?"

"That's Aunt Yang from the village chief's family." Niudan took a bite of the black stuff in his hand and said everything he heard: "Aunt Yang told others in the village that the beautiful sister is blind, and she also said that it's a pity that she has a pair of blind eyes. She has such good looks, and she also said that although the beautiful sister is blind, she doesn’t mind it, and said she wants to marry the beautiful sister to the bastard as his wife.”

An Jinshu:..........

What is this?

An Jinshu called Tan Santou in the courtyard: "Does the old gentleman know about this?"

Tan Santou really didn't know about this, so he replied that she didn't know, and said that he wanted to go out and inquire, so An Jinshu heard the sound of him leaving on crutches.

"Beautiful sister, where did the immortal brother go? Why didn't I see the immortal brother?" Niu Dan looked around and saw Gu Qingchen and asked no longer curiously.

An Jinshu shook her head and said she didn't know. She really didn't know. After she finished her meal at noon, the other party gave her a handkerchief and then took it away and disappeared. It had been more than half a day and she couldn't even see her figure.

"Niu Dan! It's time to eat!" Mrs. Chen next door called Niu Dan home from the other side of the wall. When she saw An Jinshu, she smiled and said hello: "The little beauty is here too, but you have to come to Auntie's place to eat something."

Seeing her calling her little beauty An Jinshu found it difficult to adapt, so he smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law Chen, please call me Yanyan from now on. My parents at home call me Yanyan."

Mrs. Chen chuckled: "Okay, okay, I couldn't ask you when you were unconscious. Later, you woke up and forgot to ask. Now I always know how to call you, so Yanyan is coming to Mrs. Chen's house." Make do?"

An Jinshu smiled and declined: "No, Mrs. Chen, I'm waiting for my brother and the old man. Besides, I'm not hungry just after eating these sweet potatoes."

Only then did Mrs. Chen see the dark thing in her hand. She frowned and said displeasedly: "The level of Tan Santou's roasted sweet potatoes is still so bad. Okay, then you just wait. If anything happens, I'll be next door." Remember to call me."

"Beautiful sister, I'm going home for dinner." Niu Dan said goodbye to her.

"Go." An Jinshu said gently, followed by the sound of Niudan running out of the yard and Chen's voice scolding him.

The surroundings were empty. An Jinshu took a bite of the sweet potato, which was a little cold. She hated this feeling of silence, so she tentatively called out to the surroundings: "Gu Qingchen?"

No one responded to her. Just when An Jinshu was about to get up and go back to the house, two words came from above her head: "I am here."
