for evil

Yuan She looked at the place where Ao Longlong disappeared for a long time before coming to his senses, the teacup on the table was still emitting white steam.

Yuan She suddenly felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart, stuck in the apex of his heart, lingering, unable to say, unable to let go, not because of Ao Longlong's departure, but because of various events stacked together, making a mess confusion.

He remembered what Xu Congyin said: "I have always hoped to stand by his side, to help him share his worries when he is sad, and to relieve his fatigue when he is tired. It is a pity that the matter of feelings is reluctant..."

He also remembered what Ao Longlong said: "When the fate comes, it will come. If you make your own choice, then go on and cherish the present moment."

He also remembered what Fang Ya said: "Of course I can understand, now that the show is done enough, everyone who should be leaving the show should leave."

Who did I deceive in this scene of mine?

Chen Ye came in just in time, looked around, saw that the person had left, Luotuo stepped over the threshold, and sat down beside Yuan She.Mu Qing also walked in and sat aside.

Chen Ye poured a bowl of tea for Mu Qing, then poured a bowl for himself, and then looked at Yuan She: "You look very sad, kid! Maybe you regretted it after the girl left? "

Yuan She said: "How can I regret it later? It's just a strange feeling in my heart, which I can't describe."

Chen Ye said: "For the sake of your broken love, brother made an exception to accompany you today, and said, where do you want to go?"

Yuan She said: "Who is broken in love?"

Chen Ye turned his head and asked Mu Qing: "Where do you want to go?"

Mu Qing said: "I'm the least assertive, you can do whatever you want, just follow Xiaoyuan's will!"

Yuan She looked outside the door: "The weather is nice today, why don't we go boating?"

Chen Ye patted the table and said, "Brother! The sun is almost setting outside! Why are you crazy?"

Yuan She rested his chin and complained, "Regret?"

Chen Ye said: "Okay, then we will risk our lives to accompany the gentleman!"

The setting sun sheds a slanting light, reflecting an orange shadow, and the lakes, mountains and cityscape complement each other, which has a special flavor.

Unfortunately, boating is not allowed today!

Chen Ye earnestly chattered to the guards guarding the river: "Brothers, please do me a favor, my brother was just dumped by a girl two days ago, and he was very depressed, so he wanted to go boating, rowing and fishing. We'll just stay for a while, it won't be long."

The guard said: "We are also acting according to orders. It has been explained above that no boating is allowed on the first three days of each month. This is an old habit, and we cannot break the rules. Besides, how can there be a boat all day long, even fishing? Don't let them go into the river."

Chen Ye said: "Who is above you? The city lord? Coincidentally, my friend and the city lord are confidantes. If you don't believe me, ask yourself if the city lord is or not?"

The guard looked at Yuan She at the side: "No wonder this one looks familiar."

Chen Ye said: "Look! This is an old friendship! Just be accommodating!"

The guard said: "It's not that I'm embarrassing the three of you, it's just that this is the custom in Pengcheng. We've broken the rules..."

Chen Ye wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yuan She: "Forget it, let's forget about it today, let's go back!"

Chen Ye walked up to Yuanshe Muqing: "The custom in Pengcheng is also strange. Boating is not allowed on the first day of the new moon? What the hell rule?"

Yuan She said embarrassingly: "Everything is not going well for me today, all kinds of things have come together, it's really unlucky!

"

Mu Qing said: "Don't think so."

Chen Ye said: "Yes, you always feel that today is really unlucky, but in fact the unlucky things are still to come!"

Yuan She gave Chen Ye a white look, and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The three of them were about to go back, but they were blocked by a person: "You three, go slowly. I heard that the three of you want to go boating?"

Yuan She said: "Yes? Do you have a solution?"

The man said: "The three of you are outsiders at first glance, besides, the ban was issued by the former city lord himself, who would dare not listen?"

Chen Ye looked at that person: "Why do I feel that you look familiar?"

The man said: "I was born with the face of the public, and anyone who looks at it will say that the face is familiar. Let's not talk about this first, I want to ask everyone, do you know why the city lord ordered the river to be closed on the first day of the moon?"

The three of them became interested and asked together: "Why?"

The man said: "Other people may not know, but Ayou, I fish for a living, but I know the strangeness. In fact, sealing the river is not a custom in Pengcheng. The problem actually lies in the river!"

Mu Qing said: "In the river?"

The man continued: "Don't believe me, you three, there are actually water ghosts in this river!"

Chen Ye clapped his hands and signaled Mu Qingyuanshe with his eyes: Look!What did I say!

The man said: "Besides, this water ghost is usually fine, but it came out on the first day of the moon. A few years ago, many people lost their news because of inexplicable capsized boats, and then they lost their news, and they still couldn't get it! The city lord ordered the river to be closed, which is strange to say , You said that the first reaction of the higher-ups to hear this should be to investigate, but it was blocked like this! Of course, I either questioned the city lord's measures, or I always felt strange."

Chen Ye said: "Eh... are you sure that water ghost will only come out on the first day of the moon? Isn't it normal?"

The man said: "On weekdays... I haven't heard of it?"

Mu Qing said: "Your Excellency looks at most 30 years old. Since it was an order from the former city lord, it was more than 40 years ago. How would you know?"

The man said: "Of course...Of course I heard what my previous generation said! I will always remember it in my heart."

Chen Ye patted his thigh, and suddenly said: "Oh! I remembered! When I first arrived in Pengcheng, the tea seller I met was you, right? Why are you fishing again?"

The man said: "This...isn't it a recession in tea sales! Just change the line..."

Chen Ye patted that person's shoulder: "But your habit of inquiring about news hasn't changed yet, right?"

The man rubbed his head, a little embarrassed: "I am a gossip! Hahaha..."

Yuan She frowned: "According to your opinion, the water ghost under the river is related to the former city lord, Fang Yu, the grandfather of the current city lord Fang Ya?"

The man said: "No, the little one didn't say that! Young master, you can't buckle your hat indiscriminately!"

The man said: "Then what... I still have something to do, so I won't be with the three of you for now." Then he left in a hurry.

The remaining three fell into deep thought.

Chen Ye said: "What do you think about this matter?"

Mu Qing said: "It seems that there is indeed a problem."

Yuan She said: "I think this boat must be flooded!"

Chen Ye nodded and said, "I've been here in Pengcheng for so long, and there's no news of evil. Maybe we've guessed it. Maybe we can find the answer at the bottom of this river?"

Yuan She said: "I don't have any clues about my mission, maybe we will meet."

Mu Qing said to Yuan She: "Have you decided? I'm afraid your position with City Lord Fang..."

Yuan She said: "Just because it may be related to him, I will take care of this matter!"

Chen Ye said: "Then when shall we act?"

Yuan She said: "If you don't do anything, let's make an appointment at midnight tonight! At that time, there will be fewer people by the river, and the guards may be looser, which is conducive to movement."

Chen Ye Mu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."

Yuan She said: "Let's go back to the palace first, and come out at night, but we need to be gentle, don't startle the snake, especially don't let Fang Ya know."

Mu Qing nodded, and Chen Ye replied, "Understood."

Go back home.
