Is the little monk enlightened today?
Chapter 113
One day, Lu Li was playing outside alone. His Uncle Fanyin made him a small wooden sword, which made him very happy. He held it all day and refused to let it go. He even found a rope to carry the wooden sword behind his back like an adult. , like a little chivalrous man, with a clear chivalrous heart, and it will be another legend in the future.
The adults in the room were talking together, and Lu Li was tired from practicing swordsmanship, so he wanted to go inside to ask for a glass of water, but when he heard that they were still talking, he squatted outside the door and stood guard, suppressing the pain in his mouth. dry.He wanted to wait for the adults to finish talking before he went in.
You Fan brought back a document from Master Yan Liu, but what was written on it was not under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Wulin. Logically speaking, he, the leader, could ignore it, but the location in the document was a familiar name. ——Xiaoyao Palace.
"Does it mean that the owner of the Xiaoyao Palace killed the eldest son of the current Shangshu?"
Lin Yan looked at the records above and was shocked. This matter is not only related to Chaotang and Wulin, but also related to Xiaoyao Palace?
"What exactly is going on?"
You Fan began to explain.
The incident happened half a month ago. The eldest son of Shangshu traveled around the archipelago. He once settled in Qiushui City and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of haze with travelers.He was originally a man of poetic and scholarly spirit, and he made friends to travel with him, and he also prepared his ideas for the imperial examination in the near future.In the first two days, he was in a happy mood and didn't think about leaving, but since he got into a dispute with someone in the boat and died in Jiang He the next day, not only that, but his friends also had accidents one after another, all of them died in the same place. There was quite a disturbance in Qiushui City, not from the people in the city, but from the officials in the capital.
This Qiushui City is originally a place outside the world, and it is also the place where the Xiaoyao Palace lives. Most of the residents on the island come from the families and relatives of the disciples in the Xiaoyao Palace. Therefore, after all, the origin of Xiaoyao Palace is also unpredictable. No one wants to have anything to do with this mysterious sect. Over time, Qiushui City has become a small city alone, free from the constraints of the Central Plains government. I heard that the island currently has its own There is a written system, so when Shang Shu heard that the eldest son was killed, he knelt down in front of the emperor for three days and three nights before he got permission to personally lead people to investigate, and he must find the culprit of the murder.
"What does Xiaoyao Palace say?" Yu Gui asked.
"It seems that there is no explanation, just let Shangshu check it himself until he is satisfied." You Fan laughed, "You also know that the little palace master's temper is not his fault, so he must be fearless in everything."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this is indeed the boy's style. .
You Fan knocked on the table and said: "But it's been half a month, and nothing was found at all. It seems that there was a conflict between Shangshu and Xiaoyao Palace. I heard that they brought people to break into Xiaoyao Palace two days ago. They didn't get beaten out of Qiushui City lying down."
"Why?"
"They suspect that the murderer is in Xiaoyao Palace."
As soon as this person said it, everyone was worried about the IQ of this Shangshu.
You Fan continued: "It's not uncommon for him to break into Xiaoyao Palace without permission. I heard that after his eldest son arrived in Qiushui City, he met the maid of the owner of Xiaoyao Palace while boating, and fell in love with her at first sight, and then directly Start the pursuit. The person who had a dispute with him on the boat that day is the owner of Xiaoyao Palace!"
"So Lord Shangshu has always remembered this matter. If he wanted to check the Xiaoyao Palace up and down, the elders in the Xiaoyao Palace would definitely not let him go. The two sides started fighting. Of course, how could they fight?" Can you pass Xiaoyao Palace? When you go back, you will cry bitterly with the little emperor."
Everyone laughed, thinking that the little emperor should also cry bitterly and change the book, right?
"Two days ago, he came with an imperial decree, saying that the martial arts affairs belong to the Wulin League. Let me check it out and give this old minister the truth, so that he can resign and return to the field with peace of mind."
Lin Yan was dissatisfied: "This emperor! Push the matter to us again!"
"Then when do you plan to get up?" Yu Gui asked.
"I can go tomorrow." You Fan said, "This time I feel that I need to ask the medical staff for assistance, or ask Fang if he would like to go with him. Can he perform an autopsy?"
"Don't worry, he is also specializing in the art of human body recently."
Lao Luo's tone made people feel a little creepy.
In the end, everyone decided to stay with the Dharma protectors and stay in the wind and rain, while A Fang and the calligrapher went back with You Fan.
After discussing the matter, I realized that there was already a small figure squatting outside the door, his mouth was white with dryness, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, but his expression was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the adults to finish speaking talk.
"Ali?"
Lu Li walked obediently to You Fan's side to hug him, and asked in a low voice, "Can I, can I go in?"
Only then did Lin Yan remember that he had just let him practice martial arts alone in the yard. The sun was so hot today, and he must have been thirsty for a long time. He couldn't help but said distressedly: "In the future, if you need something, come directly to us, you don't have to be like others."
"I have something to talk about. Water, drink later."
After speaking, he asked You Fan to put him down, and trot in to drink water by himself, without the need for others to worry at all.
Yu Gui said, "Take Lu Li there tomorrow."
"Huh? Why?"
"A frog at the bottom of a well is not as good as an eagle of a thousand miles."
You Fan smiled and nodded.
As soon as Lu Li knew that he was about to travel far, his face rarely showed yearning. He grabbed You Fan's sleeve and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Of course I'm going to play."
The little monk picked up the child and ran up and down the yard with him on his back, just like Master Liaokong who had amused him when he was young.Lu Li seemed to like this kind of feeling very much, every time he played like this, he could always really laugh out loud.
The calligrapher who was drying the medicine in Shanshui Medicine House had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard Afang tell him that he was going to Qiushui City.
"What's the matter? Is there an old enemy of yours in Xiaoyao Palace?"
The bookmaker actually nodded.
"It's a long memory. If you don't mention Xiaoyao Palace, I'm afraid I'll forget it."
"What's the story? Tell me quickly."
"Let's go and talk to you carefully."
So Afang could only hold back his curiosity.
The next day, the four of them took their children and rushed to Qiushui City together in a big boat.
Lu Li stared at the surface of the water in a daze, but it wasn't the expression of longing and love, but an indescribable sadness that leaked from his eyes. This made You Fan, who was holding him, suddenly think that the day they picked up When we arrived at Lu Li, there was a big river not far away, and the undercurrent in the mountains was silent, just like the river is peaceful now.
"Ali."
You Fan yelled several times before Lu Li came back to his senses. He lay on top of him, closed his eyes, and grabbed his collar tightly, not daring to move.
Yu Gui patted his head, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to disturb the child.
After a whole morning, Lu Li's mood finally improved.
But in the blink of an eye, Afang was the one who went bad.
The dignified direct disciple of "Wang Wen Hui Chun Shou" and "Extreme Medical Sacred Hand" is holding a wooden barrel at this time, throwing up in a daze, a sum of money is handed over to him, and he decides to go back to Shanshui Medicine House to let him develop it Medication to counteract seasickness.Otherwise, if I want to take him to travel around the rivers, sun and moon in the future, I am afraid that this person would rather die than come out.
"vomit……"
Encountered a strong wind and waves on the road, he slapped the boat directly, almost making A Fang faint.The sudden dizziness was not because of his seasickness, but as if something was hitting the hull of the boat.
You Fan put Lu Li in a safe place, and he and Yu Gui went out to have a look, only to find that in front of the boat was a huge monster, more like a monster in the sea and river, at least six feet long, with two long black beards around its mouth , with a face like a loach, a fat and strong body, with sharp claws in its mouth, it can devour several people in one bite. At this time, it seems to have gone crazy, resisting the entry of outsiders, and you can vaguely see the island not far away.
"I heard that there are many strange beasts in the sea, and it seems true." Yu Gui said, "The world has given it a strange name, and it is called the local fish."
You Fan smiled when he heard it, "What else should I pay attention to?"
"This kind of fish has been raised by its owner since childhood. It eats the same food as humans. When it grows to a certain extent, it can live in the sea by itself, and it can also play a defensive role. You can see that it has black skin, which is invulnerable to swords and guns. , a mouthful of teeth can directly leave all the bones we chew, it is a cruel thing."
"Hey, what are we going to do then?"
You Fan also thought that Fu Yunzheng was not afraid of the world in his hands, if he was dealing with invulnerable things, or in the water, he would have no chance of winning.
"It is impossible for Xiaoyao Palace not to send people to greet it. Only when the owner who raised it appears and uses their specific passwords and methods can it calm down. If you enter rashly, you will usher in more schools of local fish."
Seeing that its attack was getting stronger and stronger, causing the ship to sway, and Afang inside fainted, the bookmaker hurriedly shouted: "Don't watch the fun, think of a way."
Lu Li hugged the bookmaker tightly in fear and refused to let go, his face turned pale.
The landhead fish began to bite the big boat with its sharp teeth, and with one bite, the bow of the boat was lost by half.
"..."
The leaky boat began to gradually enter the water, wet the shoes, and if it was bitten again, it would definitely sink the boat. You Fan had no other choice but to draw his sword and attack. Do your best to deal with this tyrannical headfish.
The turbulent waves on the nearby water bank were stirred up by this movement, and the fat body of the landhead fish made the movement very loud. The fish settled in other places heard the sound and swam over one after another. One of them seemed to be very smart. Fan and Fan came with such a sudden momentum that they almost bit You Fan's ass with one bite.
"Ah hoo..."
At least a dozen land-headed fish surrounded their boats. Even though You Fanyu had high martial arts skills, there was no foothold on the sea, and it was even more difficult to use all of their skills. Moreover, they were not familiar with water, so they would always be at a disadvantage. party.
A groundhead fish is very fierce and violent, attacking ships frequently, and they are really invulnerable as Yugui said, and they don't even know how to attack effectively. The ship will sink in a while, and it will really become a mouthful at that time It's time to eat!
Under the extreme anxiety, a long horn sounded, the lingering sound continued, and the melody was clear, which seemed to have a soothing effect.It made those ground fishes close their mouths tightly, and swam obediently into the sea water, without any traces suddenly appearing.
I saw a small boat coming in the distance, two figures, one green and one red, stood on it, and the melody came out from the bamboo Xiao in the hands of the man in green.
The small boat came gradually, as if it was an old acquaintance.
The figure in Tsing Yi on the boat was tall and handsome, a bit more mature than when we met back then, even though his face remained the same, his temperament was different.
"Forgive me, leader, I am a bit of a protector of the poultry, even when I see strangers."
The most important thing is that this person actually gloated when he opened his mouth!
The red-clothed maid behind him hurriedly pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Palace Master, please stop joking. The leader and leader came from a long distance, we should treat them with courtesy."
"Well, of course." The owner of Xiaoyao Palace lifted a bag of things on the boat and said, "Didn't I bring the most famous Hongxia pastry in our Xiaoyao Palace? Qing Nu, I'm not treating you politely." Of?"
Young girl: ...
As the name suggests, Hongxia Cake matches Qiushui City, and it is one of the most unique cakes on the island, which is unique elsewhere.But this is only the taste that the people on the island are used to, but it is so spicy that no one else can bear it. Is this considered a courtesy? !
My palace lord!
You Fan coughed twice, and said: "We appreciate the kindness of Palace Master Xiaoyao. The most important thing right now is to bring us into the city. This boat won't last long. We don't want to become water people as soon as we come to Qiushui City."
"This is the occasion, isn't it?"
"..."
Qing Nu hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of the Palace Mistress, and whispered: "The Great Elder is going to scold people when he goes back."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace curled his lips, and had no choice but to say to the people on board: "Then let's go back here."
He slid the oars, but he had no intention of carrying anyone back.
"Palace Master, her ship is about to sink."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace waved his hands and explained: "The small boat is only for two people. You are all martial arts masters. Not far away is Qiushui City. You can use lightness kung fu to see the beautiful scenery in the sea."
"..."
The bookmaker who had just come out with A Fang on his back was stunned when he heard this. Those two could fly, but he couldn't just swim over, right?
The water level was getting higher, almost below Lu Li's knees, Yu Gui picked him up, You Fan grabbed the bookmaker A Fang, and carried them to the small boat of the owner of Xiaoyao Palace, while he and Zi Jin performed lightness kung fu together. Flying across the sea, for them, it is difficult to use light work at sea, but it is not impossible.
To the edge of Qiushui City, compared to when it came, it is now in a slightly embarrassed state.
The young girl quickly took out the prepared medicine and handed it to the bookmaker: "Take it quickly."
"This is?"
"The island's unique seasickness medicine is very helpful for foreigners."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace also asked: "I don't know who this is? It is worthy of the second brother's concern?"
You Fan was taken aback at home, second brother?
These two people seem to have Xie's surname, so what is the relationship?
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace folded his fan lightly, and explained with a smile: "I think my second brother Xie has never mentioned it to you. Our ancestors are related by blood. According to seniority, he is a generation older than me, but according to age, We are of the same generation, so I call him Xie Erge."
This is a friend of the bookmaker when he was young. The two had a connection in their ancestors. The year the bookmaker left the palace, he came to live in Qiushui City for a year. At that time, the little palace master was more naughty than now, and the two often quarreled. Fighting, the bookmaker also received a lot of scolding from his parents for this, obviously every time it is this little bear who picks things up!
Xie Yiyi replied without any emotion: "...Xie Ju'an, did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you acting weird?"
The bookmaker's words made Palace Mistress Xiaoyao close her fans, and the two people behind them were secretly smiling, saying that their faces were mature, but their minds were still so young.
"Hmph, this is just the way of hospitality in Xiaoyao Palace!"
The past was unwilling to be brought up again, so the owner of the Xiaoyao Palace finally adjusted his expression back, but the young girl quietly inserted a knife at the side: "The palace owner is losing his temper, our usual way of hospitality is definitely not like this, everyone believe me That's fine."
"Young girl!"
The little maid had no choice but to stick out her tongue and shut her mouth.
Seeing A Fang's pale face, Yu Gui said, "Entering the city first, let's not mention other things for now."
The smell of sea water is really unbearable.
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace immediately ordered: "Young girl, take them to the three gardens to rest."
"Palace Master..."
"Aren't you going soon?"
The young girl could only mutter and lead the way.
Where are these three gardens?
It was originally a small inn in Qiushui City, which specially entertained people who came to live on the island, but because of the rules in the city, few people could come here to play, so this inn was abandoned all the year round, and it seemed to be in decline.It was also opened half a month ago to entertain the eldest son of Shangshu.
Seeing the crumbling signs on the facade, You Fan sighed: "I never thought he would hold grudges like this."
"Leader, please don't mind." The young girl hurriedly said good things, "The palace master is also a child at heart, as for why you don't invite everyone to live in Xiaoyao Palace, the main reason is to not damage the reputation of Bafang Fengfeng and Wulin League. Got it, I don't know what to say in front of the emperor, so please forgive me."
"I don't forgive you." You Fan rubbed his nose, "We obviously show mercy to him, but he is very merciless to us."
The young girl made a bitter face: "Leader, the Great Elder is too old to bear the anger of the Palace Master."
"Okay, okay, just talking about it, we didn't intend to settle the old score this time, and leave after solving the matter of Shangshu's eldest son."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young girl's heart returned to her stomach, and she said happily: "Although the inn is not newly built inside and out, I have replaced all the things in the room with my own hands, and I guarantee that they are all new. There is no dust at all. I will arrange some servants to come over later, and they will serve you all in the past few days."
"No need, we can ask the waiter in the store if we need something."
"Alright."
Qingnu brought them in, and it was really clean and tidy, and they prepared good food for washing dust, which was very appropriate.
Back in the Xiaoyao Palace, the Great Elder was talking about the truth, while the Palace Mistress beside him was silently gnawing on melon seeds, feeling very depressed.
In fact, after coming back from the land, after experiencing those things, the palace lord has improved a lot compared to before in all aspects, but seeing the old man again this time inevitably touched the sad things, and he couldn't let go of it for a while.
"Great Elder, sit down and drink some water first, and leave the Palace Mistress alone."
"Alright alright."
The Great Elder with his hands behind his back, unwilling to drink water, just walked out slowly.It's been a long time since I've been angry with this brat, and my throat isn't as good as it used to be, so I have to drink two sips of sour plum soup to moisturize.
"Everything is arranged?"
"Yes, they are all staying at the Sanyuan Inn for the time being."
"Young girl, am I being rude again?"
The young girl looked surprised, as if she was saying - the palace lord, you know?
"...But I just can't help it."
"You, there should be more important things to do." Qing Nu didn't like to talk about big things like the Great Elder, but pointed out the window and said, "What time is it now?"
The palace lord was startled, and immediately stood up on his back, Qingnu handed over the food box she had just brought, and he was gone for a while.
You ask, where is the little palace master going?Naturally, he ran to the back hill of Xiaoyao Palace, which was originally a place full of weeds, and few people paid attention to it.It was slowly tidied up more than a year ago, and it was planted with green bamboo and Berlin, which are far and near. Young girls love flowers. When they come together, they will quietly sprinkle some seeds on the ground. Spring and autumn come, and after half a year, they finally bloom. Woke up.At first glance, it is the ultimate beauty.
This place can only be enjoyed by two people.
On the mountain, there is a chic bamboo and wood hut, which seems to have the beauty of pavilions and pavilions, with the sound of water and pavilions, and the lingering sound is endless.
In front of the house, the big stone tables are neatly arranged, and they are all things for reading and learning. There is no shortage of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.There is also a ten-year-old boy who is sitting at the table, drawing and studying seriously.
He raised his head when he saw the figure approaching, and called out sweetly, "Thank you brother."
"Have you finished your homework for today?"
The master of Xiaoyao Palace reached out to touch his head, and then checked the schoolwork on the table. Everything was done very well. The boy squinted his eyes and waited for the compliment.
"Well, the painting skills have improved the most." The owner of Xiaoyao Palace took out the prepared snacks from the food box, and said with a smile: "Xiaobie, don't you want to be a painter in the future?"
"Think about it." Little Bie nodded and said, "Master can't see now, so I will draw all the things I see for him, and I will heal Master's eyes in the future. Thinking of the present day, I can also give him something to look at." think."
"Oh, who did you learn this great truth from?"
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace couldn't help being curious, this really doesn't seem like something a teenager would say, it's more thorough than what adults can read!
"I don't need to learn, the book will tell me."
Xiao Bie finished his snacks with a smile, and even flipped through the books for him.It's a pity that the little palace master was not as diligent and inquisitive as Xiaobie since she was a child, and she was even more troubled by the things in the book, so she could only close the book silently and asked, "Where is your master?"
"Master didn't sleep well last night. He just fell asleep an hour ago. Let's keep our voices down."
"Why can't I sleep well? Are my eyes hurting again? Or my legs and feet are numb?"
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace was a little worried, but the person in the room refused to let him arrange a maid or servant, and he could not leave a single person who followed him from afar, otherwise he would definitely turn his face.
"Neither of them." Xiao Bie shook his head, stroked his chin and guessed: "I don't understand, anyway, Master's health is fine recently, and I'll keep an eye on it."
"Bie is awesome."
"Where's Sister Qingnv? Why doesn't she come over?"
Xiao Bie looked behind the palace master several times as if looking forward to it, but after all she didn't see the figure of the elder sister, so she couldn't help asking.
"Young girl has something to do today, she won't be here until a few days later."
"Ah? Is something wrong?"
Xiao Bie pursed her lips, thinking that it would take several days to see her sister.
"Eat first, I'll call your master."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Bie tidied up obediently, and then prepared the food in the food box.Brother Xie walked into the room lightly. In that room, there was a mahogany wheelchair with disheveled hair on the person, apparently just waking up.
"Nightmare last night?" Palace Master Xiaoyao asked softly.
"It's just a momentary depression."
"Humph."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace seemed to dislike his intentionally concealed tone, walked over to help him tie up his hair, and said, "Come out for dinner."
"Take Xiaobie down the mountain in the next few days."
"What are you doing? You want me to come and take care of you in person?"
The man smiled softly: "How dare I? It's just that Xiaobie lives here with me all year round, which is not so good for his growth. Besides, I also want to meditate alone, and you can come up to accompany me when you have nothing to do."
"My majestic Palace Master, how can I be fine for a moment?"
"Oh? You mean to come up with me all the time?"
"..."
The master of the Xiaoyao Palace made a special effort and almost tore off a strand of his hair.
"Take care of things under the mountain and try not to let them know that I'm here."
"Don't want others to see your miserable appearance?"
"Yeah." The man nodded very sincerely: "I still want face."
The palace lord muttered in a low voice: "With me here, who would dare to tell you what to do?"
The man didn't answer, just tilted his head slightly, and put his hand on his. Under the light, it was visible that it was a pair of eyes that had been wrapped in white cloth.
The next day, the Palace Master took Xiaobie down the mountain and made an appointment with You Fan and the others to meet in the river where Shang Shu's eldest son died.
When the people of Qiushui City saw the palace lord coming, they raised their hands to welcome them, very happy, as if the emperor of the Central Plains had come in person.It seems that what the outside world said about this time is not false, Xiaoyao Palace seems to have become their center.
Both of them were holding the child in their hands, and the two children were staring at each other. Lu Li didn't like to talk very much, while Xiao Bie didn't dare to talk to others because he rarely went down the mountain. The two just looked at each other quietly. The first meeting.
The painting boat that had the accident that day was still parked on the river, and beside the bank of the lone boat, this place has been surrounded, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
"Is the body still on board?"
"I had someone pile up ice cubes on it and temporarily freeze his body in a wooden coffin."
"Let's go aboard and have a look."
Looking at this posture, one could tell that the palace lord's visit was related to the Shangshu case not long ago, so everyone didn't dare to talk too much, they only hoped that the murderer could be found as soon as possible.Someone was discussing in a low voice: "Qiu Shui City has never been polluted by the world. We all only concentrate on our own lives. If he didn't come in with his identity that day, it would be our fault in the end!"
"That's it!"
"In the future, I should advise the palace master not to let those officials in again, disturbing our clean life!"
It seems that although the eldest son of Shangshu is talented in poetry and writing, he also forcibly entered Qiushui City because of his identity. His father has caused so many troubles, which has already aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people.
On the boat, Yu Gui put Lu Li on the prow of the boat, and entrusted the guards on the boat to watch. Xiao Bie was very interested in this quiet little brother, so he whispered to him to thank his brother, "You guys go to work. , I'll talk to him."
"Oh? Stop joining in the fun?"
"Come on, follow him."
Xiao Bie took out some snacks with a playful smile and ran over.
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace ordered the four guards who watched the boat to pay attention to the two children, so that there should be no mistakes.
Entering the painting boat, A Fang opened the coffin, and saw that although the corpse inside had been frozen, the body had already shown a dark purple color and was swollen, so it was difficult to examine.
He first asked: "How do you explain the operations on your island?"
Only then did You Fan remember, and added: "Sixth Master Yan only conveyed the emperor's measures, but he didn't say how this young master died."
In this regard, the owner of Xiaoyao Palace spread his hands and said: "I'm not a murderer, where can I find out?"
"..."
The other four looked at him silently.
There was a light sound from the boat, and the young girl opened the curtain, walked in quickly, held a booklet in her hand, handed it to A Fang, and explained: "This was recorded by the Great Elder some time ago, everyone It can be seen."
"I can't think of a little maid who looks more useful than you!" A Fang glared at the palace master, as if he was dissatisfied with what happened to him yesterday.
"It's not the responsibility of the Palace Master, can I still do everything?"
"Humph."
Afang didn't want to talk to him quickly, he just wanted to finish the body examination as soon as possible and disembark early, the fear of fainting yesterday still haunted him tightly.
The bookmaker angrily grabbed the little braid of Palace Master Xiaoyao, and said: "Xie Ju'an, I think you need to clean up, don't you?"
I have never seen a calligrapher so impetuous in his strokes. The long-term wind and rain life has polished all his temperament. Even though he has withdrawn from the ranks of calligraphers now, he has never changed. It seems that the little palace master used to A lot of tossing his second brother.
And Xie Juan continued to spread his hands: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I am very normal now."
"Be careful to be beaten by me!"
"You can't beat me if you don't have martial arts, just a little~"
"..."
Afang was holding the knife, and there were buzzing bickering sounds in his ears, so he grabbed the knife viciously and said: "I will make you think what is normal later."
The master of Xiaoyao Palace closed his mouth, and the bookmaker didn't dare to disturb him.
A sudden gust of wind blew outside, making the boat sway. Lu Li was afraid of water, but the swaying of the boat and the absence of familiar people around him made him turn pale and dare not move.
Xiao Bie noticed his strangeness, so she walked over quietly, took his little hand, and asked, "Are you seasick? I have medicine here."
Surprised by this sudden intimacy, Lu Li waved his hand and slapped him directly.
The guards thought it was the two children having a conflict, so they quickly moved closer, and Xiao Bie gently told them to go away, so as not to scare them.
Lu Li silently looked at the boy who was a few years older than himself, some words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, those are little brother guards, they are here to protect us, not bad people."
Xiao Bie deliberately brought some snacks over in an attempt to reduce his defensiveness, but Lu Li was not someone who would let his guard down just to eat, so he still looked at him without saying a word.
"I don't take medicine for seasickness, eat some dried fruit that brother Xie gave, it's just sweet and sour, try it."
Xiao Bie stretched out his hand involuntarily, Lu Li paused, and before he could refuse, there was a different taste in the corner of his mouth, which was the most special kind since his life, so that he never forgot it in the years to come.
"My name is Xibie, and they all call them Xiaobie. Of course, I secretly named myself. You can also call me Si Nian."
Lu Li hadn't touched much on classics and history, so he tilted his head and asked, "Missing?"
"Haha, everyone will hear it as 'Missing'." Xiao Bie pulled him to sit down on the small stool at the bow, and explained carefully: "This is a sentence from the pre-Qin "Xiawu", which was written in Wan Si's year. , Blessed by the heavens. It means protection and blessing, not only for myself, but also for my master."
Lu Li still looked away a little, not even used to the enthusiasm of strangers.
Xiao Bie approached closely, stuffed him with some dried fruit, and asked enthusiastically, "Now it's my turn to ask you, what's your name? Did you come with those big brothers?"
"uncle."
Lu Li said that he usually called him uncle directly.
"Oh, it's better to call me brother." Xiao Bie quietly leaned closer: "That's the only way to please people."
Lu Li shook his head incomprehensibly, what do you like?There are not many concepts in his blank mind.
"Okay, listen to me from now on, call me brother."
"elder brother."
"good."
Xiao Bie patted his head, as if he had taken advantage of it invisibly, Lu Li quickly dodged after he realized it.
"You haven't told me your name yet?"
"Land from."
"Xiao Li?"
"Ali."
Xiao Bie didn't pay attention to listening to him repeating this sentence, instead he started talking to himself: "Combining our names means parting!"
After he finished speaking, he thought about it again, and continued: "It is also good to reunite after parting."
Lu Li didn't understand what he meant. He just paid attention to the dried fruit in his hand. He didn't feel it until he ate it. After eating it, he felt the sweetness. It made people want to eat more.
And the first and last names of the two are destined to many things.When he thought of today's scene, he didn't know whether it was sour or astringent.
"Come, come, let's eat together, and then listen to me."
Xiao Bie was very good at grasping Lu Li's thoughts, he didn't tell his greedy eyes, but moved the stool over again, this time, Lu Li didn't move away again.
Compared with the children outside who have food to share, the adults inside are extremely anxious.
It wasn't until another three cups of tea passed that A Fang looked up from the wooden coffin. There were some offal with a strange smell on the table, one of which was very black.
"Cough cough..."
Yu Gui Momo took three steps back, fearing that he would lose control of his saber later, so he slashed at it casually.
With a smirk, A Fang brought the things on the table over and said, "After his death, his body fell into the water. There are many things that cannot be found on the surface."
"What things?"
"Don't retreat further and further back! Come on, come on, the previous point can be seen more clearly."
It's not to blame everyone's cleanliness, it's because the smell is too strong, it's really hard to get close.
"Just stand there and talk." Yu Gui reminded very seriously.
"Okay, okay." Afang stopped walking, picked up one piece with a stick, and said, "There are traces of rust on it, and this is a part of the heart."
On the part of the heart that has changed color, there are scattered brown and yellow objects. After the inspection just now, Afang can be sure that it is rust.
"This is the reason for his death." A Fang stopped what he said, and turned to ask the owner of Xiaoyao Palace: "I heard that Master Shang Shu forced his way into Xiaoyao Palace before. I don't know why? Or do they all think that this young master is drowning?" dead?"
"This is what you said." The palace lord said, "The body he brought himself could not be tested. In the end, because the body of his young master was fished out of the water, he said that it was the young girl who had an affair with him. Pushed by dispute."
"I was wronged at this point." Qing Nu explained: "During the few days they came, the Palace Master thought that I was the son of an official, so he specially patted me to say hello, so that they would know that Qiushui City is Xiaoyao City. In the land of the palace, you can't stir up trouble."
"Then you were entangled by him?" A Fang asked directly.
"It's his eyesight, don't blame me."
The young girl wants to cry but has no tears. At that time, the son-in-law was only fond of her face, and he couldn't forget it after seeing her. After learning her identity, he found Xiaoyao Palace.The two did meet on the river bank the night before his death.
"What did you say?"
A Fang couldn't stop the gossip in his eyes.
"It's just to make it clear to him. I don't love the official family in my life, and I won't leave Xiaoyao Palace because of it. I'm polite in every way, but I didn't expect him to be a literati. He is not ignorant of other martial arts, he was indeed slapped by me at that time. This also became a key point when Shi Wu did the autopsy, so he insisted that I pushed him into the river."
Everyone looked at A Fang again, only to hear him insist: "Believe me, the cause of death is definitely not drowning, but something like an iron nail went straight down his throat and into his stomach."
"Why did it stab into the heart again?"
"This is what I'm currently struggling with. Give me two more days."
The bookmaker also echoed: "The doctor also needs to rest, we will not rush you."
"You guys, what's the relationship?" Palace Master Xiaoyao asked half understanding, and was slapped by the bookmaker
The adults in the room were talking together, and Lu Li was tired from practicing swordsmanship, so he wanted to go inside to ask for a glass of water, but when he heard that they were still talking, he squatted outside the door and stood guard, suppressing the pain in his mouth. dry.He wanted to wait for the adults to finish talking before he went in.
You Fan brought back a document from Master Yan Liu, but what was written on it was not under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Wulin. Logically speaking, he, the leader, could ignore it, but the location in the document was a familiar name. ——Xiaoyao Palace.
"Does it mean that the owner of the Xiaoyao Palace killed the eldest son of the current Shangshu?"
Lin Yan looked at the records above and was shocked. This matter is not only related to Chaotang and Wulin, but also related to Xiaoyao Palace?
"What exactly is going on?"
You Fan began to explain.
The incident happened half a month ago. The eldest son of Shangshu traveled around the archipelago. He once settled in Qiushui City and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of haze with travelers.He was originally a man of poetic and scholarly spirit, and he made friends to travel with him, and he also prepared his ideas for the imperial examination in the near future.In the first two days, he was in a happy mood and didn't think about leaving, but since he got into a dispute with someone in the boat and died in Jiang He the next day, not only that, but his friends also had accidents one after another, all of them died in the same place. There was quite a disturbance in Qiushui City, not from the people in the city, but from the officials in the capital.
This Qiushui City is originally a place outside the world, and it is also the place where the Xiaoyao Palace lives. Most of the residents on the island come from the families and relatives of the disciples in the Xiaoyao Palace. Therefore, after all, the origin of Xiaoyao Palace is also unpredictable. No one wants to have anything to do with this mysterious sect. Over time, Qiushui City has become a small city alone, free from the constraints of the Central Plains government. I heard that the island currently has its own There is a written system, so when Shang Shu heard that the eldest son was killed, he knelt down in front of the emperor for three days and three nights before he got permission to personally lead people to investigate, and he must find the culprit of the murder.
"What does Xiaoyao Palace say?" Yu Gui asked.
"It seems that there is no explanation, just let Shangshu check it himself until he is satisfied." You Fan laughed, "You also know that the little palace master's temper is not his fault, so he must be fearless in everything."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this is indeed the boy's style. .
You Fan knocked on the table and said: "But it's been half a month, and nothing was found at all. It seems that there was a conflict between Shangshu and Xiaoyao Palace. I heard that they brought people to break into Xiaoyao Palace two days ago. They didn't get beaten out of Qiushui City lying down."
"Why?"
"They suspect that the murderer is in Xiaoyao Palace."
As soon as this person said it, everyone was worried about the IQ of this Shangshu.
You Fan continued: "It's not uncommon for him to break into Xiaoyao Palace without permission. I heard that after his eldest son arrived in Qiushui City, he met the maid of the owner of Xiaoyao Palace while boating, and fell in love with her at first sight, and then directly Start the pursuit. The person who had a dispute with him on the boat that day is the owner of Xiaoyao Palace!"
"So Lord Shangshu has always remembered this matter. If he wanted to check the Xiaoyao Palace up and down, the elders in the Xiaoyao Palace would definitely not let him go. The two sides started fighting. Of course, how could they fight?" Can you pass Xiaoyao Palace? When you go back, you will cry bitterly with the little emperor."
Everyone laughed, thinking that the little emperor should also cry bitterly and change the book, right?
"Two days ago, he came with an imperial decree, saying that the martial arts affairs belong to the Wulin League. Let me check it out and give this old minister the truth, so that he can resign and return to the field with peace of mind."
Lin Yan was dissatisfied: "This emperor! Push the matter to us again!"
"Then when do you plan to get up?" Yu Gui asked.
"I can go tomorrow." You Fan said, "This time I feel that I need to ask the medical staff for assistance, or ask Fang if he would like to go with him. Can he perform an autopsy?"
"Don't worry, he is also specializing in the art of human body recently."
Lao Luo's tone made people feel a little creepy.
In the end, everyone decided to stay with the Dharma protectors and stay in the wind and rain, while A Fang and the calligrapher went back with You Fan.
After discussing the matter, I realized that there was already a small figure squatting outside the door, his mouth was white with dryness, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, but his expression was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for the adults to finish speaking talk.
"Ali?"
Lu Li walked obediently to You Fan's side to hug him, and asked in a low voice, "Can I, can I go in?"
Only then did Lin Yan remember that he had just let him practice martial arts alone in the yard. The sun was so hot today, and he must have been thirsty for a long time. He couldn't help but said distressedly: "In the future, if you need something, come directly to us, you don't have to be like others."
"I have something to talk about. Water, drink later."
After speaking, he asked You Fan to put him down, and trot in to drink water by himself, without the need for others to worry at all.
Yu Gui said, "Take Lu Li there tomorrow."
"Huh? Why?"
"A frog at the bottom of a well is not as good as an eagle of a thousand miles."
You Fan smiled and nodded.
As soon as Lu Li knew that he was about to travel far, his face rarely showed yearning. He grabbed You Fan's sleeve and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Of course I'm going to play."
The little monk picked up the child and ran up and down the yard with him on his back, just like Master Liaokong who had amused him when he was young.Lu Li seemed to like this kind of feeling very much, every time he played like this, he could always really laugh out loud.
The calligrapher who was drying the medicine in Shanshui Medicine House had a puzzled expression on his face when he heard Afang tell him that he was going to Qiushui City.
"What's the matter? Is there an old enemy of yours in Xiaoyao Palace?"
The bookmaker actually nodded.
"It's a long memory. If you don't mention Xiaoyao Palace, I'm afraid I'll forget it."
"What's the story? Tell me quickly."
"Let's go and talk to you carefully."
So Afang could only hold back his curiosity.
The next day, the four of them took their children and rushed to Qiushui City together in a big boat.
Lu Li stared at the surface of the water in a daze, but it wasn't the expression of longing and love, but an indescribable sadness that leaked from his eyes. This made You Fan, who was holding him, suddenly think that the day they picked up When we arrived at Lu Li, there was a big river not far away, and the undercurrent in the mountains was silent, just like the river is peaceful now.
"Ali."
You Fan yelled several times before Lu Li came back to his senses. He lay on top of him, closed his eyes, and grabbed his collar tightly, not daring to move.
Yu Gui patted his head, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to disturb the child.
After a whole morning, Lu Li's mood finally improved.
But in the blink of an eye, Afang was the one who went bad.
The dignified direct disciple of "Wang Wen Hui Chun Shou" and "Extreme Medical Sacred Hand" is holding a wooden barrel at this time, throwing up in a daze, a sum of money is handed over to him, and he decides to go back to Shanshui Medicine House to let him develop it Medication to counteract seasickness.Otherwise, if I want to take him to travel around the rivers, sun and moon in the future, I am afraid that this person would rather die than come out.
"vomit……"
Encountered a strong wind and waves on the road, he slapped the boat directly, almost making A Fang faint.The sudden dizziness was not because of his seasickness, but as if something was hitting the hull of the boat.
You Fan put Lu Li in a safe place, and he and Yu Gui went out to have a look, only to find that in front of the boat was a huge monster, more like a monster in the sea and river, at least six feet long, with two long black beards around its mouth , with a face like a loach, a fat and strong body, with sharp claws in its mouth, it can devour several people in one bite. At this time, it seems to have gone crazy, resisting the entry of outsiders, and you can vaguely see the island not far away.
"I heard that there are many strange beasts in the sea, and it seems true." Yu Gui said, "The world has given it a strange name, and it is called the local fish."
You Fan smiled when he heard it, "What else should I pay attention to?"
"This kind of fish has been raised by its owner since childhood. It eats the same food as humans. When it grows to a certain extent, it can live in the sea by itself, and it can also play a defensive role. You can see that it has black skin, which is invulnerable to swords and guns. , a mouthful of teeth can directly leave all the bones we chew, it is a cruel thing."
"Hey, what are we going to do then?"
You Fan also thought that Fu Yunzheng was not afraid of the world in his hands, if he was dealing with invulnerable things, or in the water, he would have no chance of winning.
"It is impossible for Xiaoyao Palace not to send people to greet it. Only when the owner who raised it appears and uses their specific passwords and methods can it calm down. If you enter rashly, you will usher in more schools of local fish."
Seeing that its attack was getting stronger and stronger, causing the ship to sway, and Afang inside fainted, the bookmaker hurriedly shouted: "Don't watch the fun, think of a way."
Lu Li hugged the bookmaker tightly in fear and refused to let go, his face turned pale.
The landhead fish began to bite the big boat with its sharp teeth, and with one bite, the bow of the boat was lost by half.
"..."
The leaky boat began to gradually enter the water, wet the shoes, and if it was bitten again, it would definitely sink the boat. You Fan had no other choice but to draw his sword and attack. Do your best to deal with this tyrannical headfish.
The turbulent waves on the nearby water bank were stirred up by this movement, and the fat body of the landhead fish made the movement very loud. The fish settled in other places heard the sound and swam over one after another. One of them seemed to be very smart. Fan and Fan came with such a sudden momentum that they almost bit You Fan's ass with one bite.
"Ah hoo..."
At least a dozen land-headed fish surrounded their boats. Even though You Fanyu had high martial arts skills, there was no foothold on the sea, and it was even more difficult to use all of their skills. Moreover, they were not familiar with water, so they would always be at a disadvantage. party.
A groundhead fish is very fierce and violent, attacking ships frequently, and they are really invulnerable as Yugui said, and they don't even know how to attack effectively. The ship will sink in a while, and it will really become a mouthful at that time It's time to eat!
Under the extreme anxiety, a long horn sounded, the lingering sound continued, and the melody was clear, which seemed to have a soothing effect.It made those ground fishes close their mouths tightly, and swam obediently into the sea water, without any traces suddenly appearing.
I saw a small boat coming in the distance, two figures, one green and one red, stood on it, and the melody came out from the bamboo Xiao in the hands of the man in green.
The small boat came gradually, as if it was an old acquaintance.
The figure in Tsing Yi on the boat was tall and handsome, a bit more mature than when we met back then, even though his face remained the same, his temperament was different.
"Forgive me, leader, I am a bit of a protector of the poultry, even when I see strangers."
The most important thing is that this person actually gloated when he opened his mouth!
The red-clothed maid behind him hurriedly pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Palace Master, please stop joking. The leader and leader came from a long distance, we should treat them with courtesy."
"Well, of course." The owner of Xiaoyao Palace lifted a bag of things on the boat and said, "Didn't I bring the most famous Hongxia pastry in our Xiaoyao Palace? Qing Nu, I'm not treating you politely." Of?"
Young girl: ...
As the name suggests, Hongxia Cake matches Qiushui City, and it is one of the most unique cakes on the island, which is unique elsewhere.But this is only the taste that the people on the island are used to, but it is so spicy that no one else can bear it. Is this considered a courtesy? !
My palace lord!
You Fan coughed twice, and said: "We appreciate the kindness of Palace Master Xiaoyao. The most important thing right now is to bring us into the city. This boat won't last long. We don't want to become water people as soon as we come to Qiushui City."
"This is the occasion, isn't it?"
"..."
Qing Nu hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of the Palace Mistress, and whispered: "The Great Elder is going to scold people when he goes back."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace curled his lips, and had no choice but to say to the people on board: "Then let's go back here."
He slid the oars, but he had no intention of carrying anyone back.
"Palace Master, her ship is about to sink."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace waved his hands and explained: "The small boat is only for two people. You are all martial arts masters. Not far away is Qiushui City. You can use lightness kung fu to see the beautiful scenery in the sea."
"..."
The bookmaker who had just come out with A Fang on his back was stunned when he heard this. Those two could fly, but he couldn't just swim over, right?
The water level was getting higher, almost below Lu Li's knees, Yu Gui picked him up, You Fan grabbed the bookmaker A Fang, and carried them to the small boat of the owner of Xiaoyao Palace, while he and Zi Jin performed lightness kung fu together. Flying across the sea, for them, it is difficult to use light work at sea, but it is not impossible.
To the edge of Qiushui City, compared to when it came, it is now in a slightly embarrassed state.
The young girl quickly took out the prepared medicine and handed it to the bookmaker: "Take it quickly."
"This is?"
"The island's unique seasickness medicine is very helpful for foreigners."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace also asked: "I don't know who this is? It is worthy of the second brother's concern?"
You Fan was taken aback at home, second brother?
These two people seem to have Xie's surname, so what is the relationship?
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace folded his fan lightly, and explained with a smile: "I think my second brother Xie has never mentioned it to you. Our ancestors are related by blood. According to seniority, he is a generation older than me, but according to age, We are of the same generation, so I call him Xie Erge."
This is a friend of the bookmaker when he was young. The two had a connection in their ancestors. The year the bookmaker left the palace, he came to live in Qiushui City for a year. At that time, the little palace master was more naughty than now, and the two often quarreled. Fighting, the bookmaker also received a lot of scolding from his parents for this, obviously every time it is this little bear who picks things up!
Xie Yiyi replied without any emotion: "...Xie Ju'an, did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you acting weird?"
The bookmaker's words made Palace Mistress Xiaoyao close her fans, and the two people behind them were secretly smiling, saying that their faces were mature, but their minds were still so young.
"Hmph, this is just the way of hospitality in Xiaoyao Palace!"
The past was unwilling to be brought up again, so the owner of the Xiaoyao Palace finally adjusted his expression back, but the young girl quietly inserted a knife at the side: "The palace owner is losing his temper, our usual way of hospitality is definitely not like this, everyone believe me That's fine."
"Young girl!"
The little maid had no choice but to stick out her tongue and shut her mouth.
Seeing A Fang's pale face, Yu Gui said, "Entering the city first, let's not mention other things for now."
The smell of sea water is really unbearable.
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace immediately ordered: "Young girl, take them to the three gardens to rest."
"Palace Master..."
"Aren't you going soon?"
The young girl could only mutter and lead the way.
Where are these three gardens?
It was originally a small inn in Qiushui City, which specially entertained people who came to live on the island, but because of the rules in the city, few people could come here to play, so this inn was abandoned all the year round, and it seemed to be in decline.It was also opened half a month ago to entertain the eldest son of Shangshu.
Seeing the crumbling signs on the facade, You Fan sighed: "I never thought he would hold grudges like this."
"Leader, please don't mind." The young girl hurriedly said good things, "The palace master is also a child at heart, as for why you don't invite everyone to live in Xiaoyao Palace, the main reason is to not damage the reputation of Bafang Fengfeng and Wulin League. Got it, I don't know what to say in front of the emperor, so please forgive me."
"I don't forgive you." You Fan rubbed his nose, "We obviously show mercy to him, but he is very merciless to us."
The young girl made a bitter face: "Leader, the Great Elder is too old to bear the anger of the Palace Master."
"Okay, okay, just talking about it, we didn't intend to settle the old score this time, and leave after solving the matter of Shangshu's eldest son."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young girl's heart returned to her stomach, and she said happily: "Although the inn is not newly built inside and out, I have replaced all the things in the room with my own hands, and I guarantee that they are all new. There is no dust at all. I will arrange some servants to come over later, and they will serve you all in the past few days."
"No need, we can ask the waiter in the store if we need something."
"Alright."
Qingnu brought them in, and it was really clean and tidy, and they prepared good food for washing dust, which was very appropriate.
Back in the Xiaoyao Palace, the Great Elder was talking about the truth, while the Palace Mistress beside him was silently gnawing on melon seeds, feeling very depressed.
In fact, after coming back from the land, after experiencing those things, the palace lord has improved a lot compared to before in all aspects, but seeing the old man again this time inevitably touched the sad things, and he couldn't let go of it for a while.
"Great Elder, sit down and drink some water first, and leave the Palace Mistress alone."
"Alright alright."
The Great Elder with his hands behind his back, unwilling to drink water, just walked out slowly.It's been a long time since I've been angry with this brat, and my throat isn't as good as it used to be, so I have to drink two sips of sour plum soup to moisturize.
"Everything is arranged?"
"Yes, they are all staying at the Sanyuan Inn for the time being."
"Young girl, am I being rude again?"
The young girl looked surprised, as if she was saying - the palace lord, you know?
"...But I just can't help it."
"You, there should be more important things to do." Qing Nu didn't like to talk about big things like the Great Elder, but pointed out the window and said, "What time is it now?"
The palace lord was startled, and immediately stood up on his back, Qingnu handed over the food box she had just brought, and he was gone for a while.
You ask, where is the little palace master going?Naturally, he ran to the back hill of Xiaoyao Palace, which was originally a place full of weeds, and few people paid attention to it.It was slowly tidied up more than a year ago, and it was planted with green bamboo and Berlin, which are far and near. Young girls love flowers. When they come together, they will quietly sprinkle some seeds on the ground. Spring and autumn come, and after half a year, they finally bloom. Woke up.At first glance, it is the ultimate beauty.
This place can only be enjoyed by two people.
On the mountain, there is a chic bamboo and wood hut, which seems to have the beauty of pavilions and pavilions, with the sound of water and pavilions, and the lingering sound is endless.
In front of the house, the big stone tables are neatly arranged, and they are all things for reading and learning. There is no shortage of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.There is also a ten-year-old boy who is sitting at the table, drawing and studying seriously.
He raised his head when he saw the figure approaching, and called out sweetly, "Thank you brother."
"Have you finished your homework for today?"
The master of Xiaoyao Palace reached out to touch his head, and then checked the schoolwork on the table. Everything was done very well. The boy squinted his eyes and waited for the compliment.
"Well, the painting skills have improved the most." The owner of Xiaoyao Palace took out the prepared snacks from the food box, and said with a smile: "Xiaobie, don't you want to be a painter in the future?"
"Think about it." Little Bie nodded and said, "Master can't see now, so I will draw all the things I see for him, and I will heal Master's eyes in the future. Thinking of the present day, I can also give him something to look at." think."
"Oh, who did you learn this great truth from?"
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace couldn't help being curious, this really doesn't seem like something a teenager would say, it's more thorough than what adults can read!
"I don't need to learn, the book will tell me."
Xiao Bie finished his snacks with a smile, and even flipped through the books for him.It's a pity that the little palace master was not as diligent and inquisitive as Xiaobie since she was a child, and she was even more troubled by the things in the book, so she could only close the book silently and asked, "Where is your master?"
"Master didn't sleep well last night. He just fell asleep an hour ago. Let's keep our voices down."
"Why can't I sleep well? Are my eyes hurting again? Or my legs and feet are numb?"
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace was a little worried, but the person in the room refused to let him arrange a maid or servant, and he could not leave a single person who followed him from afar, otherwise he would definitely turn his face.
"Neither of them." Xiao Bie shook his head, stroked his chin and guessed: "I don't understand, anyway, Master's health is fine recently, and I'll keep an eye on it."
"Bie is awesome."
"Where's Sister Qingnv? Why doesn't she come over?"
Xiao Bie looked behind the palace master several times as if looking forward to it, but after all she didn't see the figure of the elder sister, so she couldn't help asking.
"Young girl has something to do today, she won't be here until a few days later."
"Ah? Is something wrong?"
Xiao Bie pursed her lips, thinking that it would take several days to see her sister.
"Eat first, I'll call your master."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Bie tidied up obediently, and then prepared the food in the food box.Brother Xie walked into the room lightly. In that room, there was a mahogany wheelchair with disheveled hair on the person, apparently just waking up.
"Nightmare last night?" Palace Master Xiaoyao asked softly.
"It's just a momentary depression."
"Humph."
The owner of Xiaoyao Palace seemed to dislike his intentionally concealed tone, walked over to help him tie up his hair, and said, "Come out for dinner."
"Take Xiaobie down the mountain in the next few days."
"What are you doing? You want me to come and take care of you in person?"
The man smiled softly: "How dare I? It's just that Xiaobie lives here with me all year round, which is not so good for his growth. Besides, I also want to meditate alone, and you can come up to accompany me when you have nothing to do."
"My majestic Palace Master, how can I be fine for a moment?"
"Oh? You mean to come up with me all the time?"
"..."
The master of the Xiaoyao Palace made a special effort and almost tore off a strand of his hair.
"Take care of things under the mountain and try not to let them know that I'm here."
"Don't want others to see your miserable appearance?"
"Yeah." The man nodded very sincerely: "I still want face."
The palace lord muttered in a low voice: "With me here, who would dare to tell you what to do?"
The man didn't answer, just tilted his head slightly, and put his hand on his. Under the light, it was visible that it was a pair of eyes that had been wrapped in white cloth.
The next day, the Palace Master took Xiaobie down the mountain and made an appointment with You Fan and the others to meet in the river where Shang Shu's eldest son died.
When the people of Qiushui City saw the palace lord coming, they raised their hands to welcome them, very happy, as if the emperor of the Central Plains had come in person.It seems that what the outside world said about this time is not false, Xiaoyao Palace seems to have become their center.
Both of them were holding the child in their hands, and the two children were staring at each other. Lu Li didn't like to talk very much, while Xiao Bie didn't dare to talk to others because he rarely went down the mountain. The two just looked at each other quietly. The first meeting.
The painting boat that had the accident that day was still parked on the river, and beside the bank of the lone boat, this place has been surrounded, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
"Is the body still on board?"
"I had someone pile up ice cubes on it and temporarily freeze his body in a wooden coffin."
"Let's go aboard and have a look."
Looking at this posture, one could tell that the palace lord's visit was related to the Shangshu case not long ago, so everyone didn't dare to talk too much, they only hoped that the murderer could be found as soon as possible.Someone was discussing in a low voice: "Qiu Shui City has never been polluted by the world. We all only concentrate on our own lives. If he didn't come in with his identity that day, it would be our fault in the end!"
"That's it!"
"In the future, I should advise the palace master not to let those officials in again, disturbing our clean life!"
It seems that although the eldest son of Shangshu is talented in poetry and writing, he also forcibly entered Qiushui City because of his identity. His father has caused so many troubles, which has already aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people.
On the boat, Yu Gui put Lu Li on the prow of the boat, and entrusted the guards on the boat to watch. Xiao Bie was very interested in this quiet little brother, so he whispered to him to thank his brother, "You guys go to work. , I'll talk to him."
"Oh? Stop joining in the fun?"
"Come on, follow him."
Xiao Bie took out some snacks with a playful smile and ran over.
The owner of the Xiaoyao Palace ordered the four guards who watched the boat to pay attention to the two children, so that there should be no mistakes.
Entering the painting boat, A Fang opened the coffin, and saw that although the corpse inside had been frozen, the body had already shown a dark purple color and was swollen, so it was difficult to examine.
He first asked: "How do you explain the operations on your island?"
Only then did You Fan remember, and added: "Sixth Master Yan only conveyed the emperor's measures, but he didn't say how this young master died."
In this regard, the owner of Xiaoyao Palace spread his hands and said: "I'm not a murderer, where can I find out?"
"..."
The other four looked at him silently.
There was a light sound from the boat, and the young girl opened the curtain, walked in quickly, held a booklet in her hand, handed it to A Fang, and explained: "This was recorded by the Great Elder some time ago, everyone It can be seen."
"I can't think of a little maid who looks more useful than you!" A Fang glared at the palace master, as if he was dissatisfied with what happened to him yesterday.
"It's not the responsibility of the Palace Master, can I still do everything?"
"Humph."
Afang didn't want to talk to him quickly, he just wanted to finish the body examination as soon as possible and disembark early, the fear of fainting yesterday still haunted him tightly.
The bookmaker angrily grabbed the little braid of Palace Master Xiaoyao, and said: "Xie Ju'an, I think you need to clean up, don't you?"
I have never seen a calligrapher so impetuous in his strokes. The long-term wind and rain life has polished all his temperament. Even though he has withdrawn from the ranks of calligraphers now, he has never changed. It seems that the little palace master used to A lot of tossing his second brother.
And Xie Juan continued to spread his hands: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think, I am very normal now."
"Be careful to be beaten by me!"
"You can't beat me if you don't have martial arts, just a little~"
"..."
Afang was holding the knife, and there were buzzing bickering sounds in his ears, so he grabbed the knife viciously and said: "I will make you think what is normal later."
The master of Xiaoyao Palace closed his mouth, and the bookmaker didn't dare to disturb him.
A sudden gust of wind blew outside, making the boat sway. Lu Li was afraid of water, but the swaying of the boat and the absence of familiar people around him made him turn pale and dare not move.
Xiao Bie noticed his strangeness, so she walked over quietly, took his little hand, and asked, "Are you seasick? I have medicine here."
Surprised by this sudden intimacy, Lu Li waved his hand and slapped him directly.
The guards thought it was the two children having a conflict, so they quickly moved closer, and Xiao Bie gently told them to go away, so as not to scare them.
Lu Li silently looked at the boy who was a few years older than himself, some words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, those are little brother guards, they are here to protect us, not bad people."
Xiao Bie deliberately brought some snacks over in an attempt to reduce his defensiveness, but Lu Li was not someone who would let his guard down just to eat, so he still looked at him without saying a word.
"I don't take medicine for seasickness, eat some dried fruit that brother Xie gave, it's just sweet and sour, try it."
Xiao Bie stretched out his hand involuntarily, Lu Li paused, and before he could refuse, there was a different taste in the corner of his mouth, which was the most special kind since his life, so that he never forgot it in the years to come.
"My name is Xibie, and they all call them Xiaobie. Of course, I secretly named myself. You can also call me Si Nian."
Lu Li hadn't touched much on classics and history, so he tilted his head and asked, "Missing?"
"Haha, everyone will hear it as 'Missing'." Xiao Bie pulled him to sit down on the small stool at the bow, and explained carefully: "This is a sentence from the pre-Qin "Xiawu", which was written in Wan Si's year. , Blessed by the heavens. It means protection and blessing, not only for myself, but also for my master."
Lu Li still looked away a little, not even used to the enthusiasm of strangers.
Xiao Bie approached closely, stuffed him with some dried fruit, and asked enthusiastically, "Now it's my turn to ask you, what's your name? Did you come with those big brothers?"
"uncle."
Lu Li said that he usually called him uncle directly.
"Oh, it's better to call me brother." Xiao Bie quietly leaned closer: "That's the only way to please people."
Lu Li shook his head incomprehensibly, what do you like?There are not many concepts in his blank mind.
"Okay, listen to me from now on, call me brother."
"elder brother."
"good."
Xiao Bie patted his head, as if he had taken advantage of it invisibly, Lu Li quickly dodged after he realized it.
"You haven't told me your name yet?"
"Land from."
"Xiao Li?"
"Ali."
Xiao Bie didn't pay attention to listening to him repeating this sentence, instead he started talking to himself: "Combining our names means parting!"
After he finished speaking, he thought about it again, and continued: "It is also good to reunite after parting."
Lu Li didn't understand what he meant. He just paid attention to the dried fruit in his hand. He didn't feel it until he ate it. After eating it, he felt the sweetness. It made people want to eat more.
And the first and last names of the two are destined to many things.When he thought of today's scene, he didn't know whether it was sour or astringent.
"Come, come, let's eat together, and then listen to me."
Xiao Bie was very good at grasping Lu Li's thoughts, he didn't tell his greedy eyes, but moved the stool over again, this time, Lu Li didn't move away again.
Compared with the children outside who have food to share, the adults inside are extremely anxious.
It wasn't until another three cups of tea passed that A Fang looked up from the wooden coffin. There were some offal with a strange smell on the table, one of which was very black.
"Cough cough..."
Yu Gui Momo took three steps back, fearing that he would lose control of his saber later, so he slashed at it casually.
With a smirk, A Fang brought the things on the table over and said, "After his death, his body fell into the water. There are many things that cannot be found on the surface."
"What things?"
"Don't retreat further and further back! Come on, come on, the previous point can be seen more clearly."
It's not to blame everyone's cleanliness, it's because the smell is too strong, it's really hard to get close.
"Just stand there and talk." Yu Gui reminded very seriously.
"Okay, okay." Afang stopped walking, picked up one piece with a stick, and said, "There are traces of rust on it, and this is a part of the heart."
On the part of the heart that has changed color, there are scattered brown and yellow objects. After the inspection just now, Afang can be sure that it is rust.
"This is the reason for his death." A Fang stopped what he said, and turned to ask the owner of Xiaoyao Palace: "I heard that Master Shang Shu forced his way into Xiaoyao Palace before. I don't know why? Or do they all think that this young master is drowning?" dead?"
"This is what you said." The palace lord said, "The body he brought himself could not be tested. In the end, because the body of his young master was fished out of the water, he said that it was the young girl who had an affair with him. Pushed by dispute."
"I was wronged at this point." Qing Nu explained: "During the few days they came, the Palace Master thought that I was the son of an official, so he specially patted me to say hello, so that they would know that Qiushui City is Xiaoyao City. In the land of the palace, you can't stir up trouble."
"Then you were entangled by him?" A Fang asked directly.
"It's his eyesight, don't blame me."
The young girl wants to cry but has no tears. At that time, the son-in-law was only fond of her face, and he couldn't forget it after seeing her. After learning her identity, he found Xiaoyao Palace.The two did meet on the river bank the night before his death.
"What did you say?"
A Fang couldn't stop the gossip in his eyes.
"It's just to make it clear to him. I don't love the official family in my life, and I won't leave Xiaoyao Palace because of it. I'm polite in every way, but I didn't expect him to be a literati. He is not ignorant of other martial arts, he was indeed slapped by me at that time. This also became a key point when Shi Wu did the autopsy, so he insisted that I pushed him into the river."
Everyone looked at A Fang again, only to hear him insist: "Believe me, the cause of death is definitely not drowning, but something like an iron nail went straight down his throat and into his stomach."
"Why did it stab into the heart again?"
"This is what I'm currently struggling with. Give me two more days."
The bookmaker also echoed: "The doctor also needs to rest, we will not rush you."
"You guys, what's the relationship?" Palace Master Xiaoyao asked half understanding, and was slapped by the bookmaker
