Rivers and Lakes Records

Lu Mingtong was startled, and said: "Brother Duan has set up a relief point in the south of the city, and it's normal to pass by there every day."

However, this point, as smart as Jiu Tian, ​​would not have missed it. With his always cautious personality, he must have observed something wrong before reporting it to himself.

Coupled with Feng Ji's inexplicable teasing about his lack of a muscle just now, Lu Mingtong was startled. Could it be that this matter is really related to Duan Heng?

Feng Ji saw that his face had changed several times in just a short moment, and knew that he had finally started to become suspicious.Lu Mingtong turned his head slowly, and looked at this calm-faced old man sadly. Now the suspect is his friend. Why is he still looking like he is watching the show?

He asked Lu Jiutian: "Brother Duan passes through the south of the city every day, is there anything suspicious?"

Lu Jiutian said: "My subordinates discovered that Miracle Doctor Duan would go to the first floor to order a pot of Biluochun when he passed by that teahouse a few times before. But since there was a rumor in Lucheng that there was a heart-collecting demon lurking, he never went there again. My subordinates were suspicious, so they went to question Xiao Er, what seat was Miracle Doctor Duan sitting in before."

He paused and said: "The waiter took his subordinates to go, and the subordinates discovered that the private room was exactly the one between the young master and Mr. Shen. With Mr. Duan's martial arts, I am afraid that the young master and Mr. Shen's plot will be verbatim." into his ears."

"Thinking about it this way, Big Brother Duan and I stay in the same inn every day, and my whereabouts must be under his control." Lu Mingtong sighed, propped his head on one hand, and said sadly: "Unexpectedly, we are far and wide Searching all over the place, the last instigator has always been by our side."

Feng Ji looked at his sad face with a funny face: "Then what is Mingtong going to do now?"

Lu Mingtong buried his face in his arms frantically: "What else can I do, of course it is to confront him!"

Feng Ji smiled and said: "But Duan Heng is kind to you, and the process of administering the medicine is only halfway through. Ming Tong is not afraid that this question will piss people off, and all previous efforts will be wasted?"

Lu Mingtong drooped his face, and said: "These are two different things. Brother Duan is kind to me, but I can't just pretend that I don't know anything because of this little kindness. Besides, since I have agreed to the matter of Mr. Shen, I will It must be investigated to find out."

After he finished speaking, he made a heroic expression, and suddenly got up.Lu Jiutian raised his head and glanced at him, seeing that he hadn't lasted long with such a dignified appearance, he pulled the sleeves of the other people with a bitter face to ask for help: "I don't know how to speak, Brother Feng, you won't just sit idly by and ignore this matter, will you?" ?”

Feng Ji touched his nose, and said: "Since Ming Tong has spoken, I will certainly be willing to do so."

Lu Mingtong immediately beamed with joy, and suddenly calmed down as if he had a backer, and followed him to seek the truth.

The night was as dark as water, and the candle light flickered.Duan Heng sat in the room, holding a medical book and reading it carefully.

Someone knocked on the door and his long eyelashes trembled in shock. He raised his head from the medical book and said, "Please come in."

Feng Ji pushed the door and entered, followed by Lu Mingtong with a tense face.

As soon as Duan Heng looked at his expression, he knew it in his heart.

Feng Ji was not in a hurry, he waved his fan slowly: "Brother Duan, you are still obsessed with studying medicine at such a late hour."

Duan Heng closed the medical book, smiled lightly and said, "You and I have known each other for so long, it's not your style to beat around the bush, if there's anything you want, you might as well just speak up."

Lu Mingtong was worried, we came to Xingshi to inquire about crimes, but you are our friend, so how can we speak directly.

Fortunately, Feng Ji was not in such a dilemma like him, he seemed to have pulled himself out of this embarrassing situation, after Duan Heng finished speaking, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "If that's the case, then I'll be blunt."

"Brother Duan should also know that Ming Tong has been entrusted by someone recently to help investigate a strange incident in Lucheng." Feng Ji said: "In the past few days, we have collected more and more clues. , and pointed at Brother Duan."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Heng chuckled lightly and continued, "I know, you will find me eventually."

What he said was frank, Lu Mingtong was startled, and said in a low voice: "Brother Duan, do you admit it?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world." Duan Heng said lightly: "Countless coincidences add up, and it is not a coincidence. When I met you in Lucheng, I knew that this matter would not be hidden for long."

Lu Mingtong didn't expect him to recognize it so easily, and he didn't even have the slightest desire to hide it.

"Brother Duan, why are you doing this?"

This time it was Duan Hengxiao, he looked at Lu Mingtong who was confused, and asked, "Why does Mingtong think I did this?"

Lu Mingtong was stunned, he didn't expect that the other party would appoint him to answer this question, he had not been in contact with Duan Heng for a long time, and he only knew a thing or two about the grievances between him and Shen Huai'an, so he hesitated for a long time before saying: "I...I I don’t know. Is Brother Duan angry that he wants to belittle Junior Sister?”

Duan Heng chuckled lightly, and said to Feng Ji: "I finally know why you like teasing Mr. Lu."

Lu Mingtong: "..."

Feng Ji grinned, and said: "I have a different opinion than Mingtong about this matter. Why don't you let me guess."

"If according to what Mingtong said, Brother Duan is fond of Junior Sister and hates Shen Huai'an for trying to belittle Junior Sister, then he should kill Shen Huai'an by all means the first time he sees him." Feng Ji analyzed: "But Brother Duan didn't do this. He met Shen Huaian several times, and even separated from him in a teahouse with no one to help him. Brother Duan didn't do anything. Looking at everything that happened in Lucheng, what Brother Duan did Because, I didn't get any benefits for Brother Duan."

"From an outsider's point of view, Brother Duan's actions will only result in discrediting Shen Huai'an's reputation as a romantic, being looked down upon by all the beauties, and being rejected by Jiao Niang."

"I tried my best to pretend to be him, but I was only willing to ruin his reputation. It's hard for me not to plan Brother Duan's goal and want to prevent Shen Huai'an from being favored by others."

Lu Mingtong blinked, faintly aware that the truth of the matter was about to surface.

Sure enough, after Duan Heng heard these words, the smile on his face deepened.

"I know I can't hide it from Brother Feng." Duan Heng said: "Ming Tong is actually right, I am angry with him."

Lu Mingtong's ears perked up.

"I'm angry at him for trying to belittle my junior sister, at him lingering on the flowers and leaves without touching himself, at him being able to attract countless beauties around him with just a single flower note." Duan Heng clenched his fists tightly, his emotions getting higher and higher, until finally he paused Suddenly, he said sadly: "I am even more angry, angry that he did not recognize me when he met again, and left in a panic."

Lu Mingtong's eyes were glazed over, he had already reached this point, if he still couldn't hear that the entanglement between these two people was not as simple as he had imagined before, then he would be an idiot.

And I can't help but sigh with emotion, it turns out that there are so many broken sleeves in the Jianghu...

Lu Mingtong pursed his lips, and heard Duan Heng continue: "Shen Huai'an and I have known each other since we were young. We were both from Tongcheng at that time. We settled down as neighbors. We went to private school to study together every day, and went fishing to catch prawns after class. Later, my family moved to Cangnan, and I made an appointment with him to write to him when we arrived, but we met robbers on the way, and the Lord of Bailing Valley saved my life, accepted me as a disciple, and taught me medical skills."

There was faint pain in his voice: "I became an orphan, and he became the last person I cared about. I wanted to ask someone to find out his whereabouts, but I was told that his family had moved somewhere. Until Later, I asked the people from Yinshu Pavilion for help, and they told me that he is already a well-known flower picker in the world."

Lu Mingtong had read the stories about his sweetheart turning into a thief in Jiangyang, but he had never read this kind of plot where his sweetheart turned into a thief picking flowers, so he sympathized with Duan Heng very much, and said softly: "You must be very sad when you know."

Duan Heng said: "Because of this, I was depressed for a while, but later I found out by accident that he had never had any relationship with those women, so I regained my confidence and wanted to ask him if he still remembers the agreement with me."

"Huh...huh?" Lu Mingtong was shocked when he heard it: "Have you ever had a relationship?"

Duan Heng nodded.

Lu Mingtong opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg: "But rumors in the Jianghu..." No, the rumors are not reliable, he turned his head stiffly to look at Feng Ji, then stiffly turned back to Duan Heng: "Then he and What are those beauties doing in the same room? Chatting all night?"

This matter sounds too unbelievable, but Duan Heng nodded slowly.

Lu Mingtong thought, either he has a brain problem, or Shen Huaian has a brain problem.

"Why did he do this?"

Duan Heng said: "Shen Huai'an had an older sister who was very kind to him when he was young, but unfortunately he drowned when he was eight years old. Since then, he has suffered from sleep talking and often has nightmares, and he needs to be hugged to comfort him. sleep."

Lu Mingtong stared: "How do you know?"

Duan Hengmu said with a straight face: "I hugged like this when I was a child."

Duan Heng was indeed good-looking, and Lu Ming couldn't help but guess wildly. So, does Shen Huai'an really like Duan Heng or does he think Duan Heng is like his sister?Can the vows I made when I was young still be fulfilled?

"Then let's say...he looks for those confidante, don't they also want them to cuddle him and put him to sleep?"

Duan Heng's face darkened, obviously he didn't want to answer this question.

Since then, the whole thing has pretty much come together.Duan Heng never forgets Shen Huai'an, but the other party obviously doesn't remember himself. He is annoyed that Shen Huai'an wanders among the flowers, but he has nothing to do with him, and he can't even track down his whereabouts, so he came up with this trick to pretend to be him to give those The ugly woman puts down flowers, firstly, it can attract him to show up, and secondly, it can tarnish his reputation, and make other arrogant beauties reject him thousands of miles away.

By the way, Shen Huaian also handed flower paper to Duan Heng's junior junior sister. In this way, it is easy for Duan Heng to imitate his handwriting.

Lu Mingtong looked at him squarely and said, "Brother Duan, although you did this because you love Mr. Shen. But I have already promised Mr. Shen that I will find out the truth for him, so I will still tell him the whole story. Yes, Brother Duan, don't blame me."

Duan Heng smiled as if he had finally let go of the pressure, and said: "Ming Tong was too worried. I deliberately used your words to control the whereabouts of the two of you. I am the one who should say sorry. There is no reason to blame you."

"However, please give me the opportunity this time, Ming Tong, and I will tell him all the reasons." He paused, looked down at the tangled curve of his palm, and said, "There are some things that I want to hear from him." Hear the answer."

On the second day, Shen Huai'an came at the appointment, and Lu Mingtong told him that all the explanations he wanted were in Duan Heng's room. Shen Huai'an gave him a suspicious look, and went in confused.

Lu Mingtong really wanted to eavesdrop, but he couldn't save face, so he played chess with Feng Ji in distress, while distractedly speculating about which move the two next door talked about, and whether there would be a fist fight.

Feng Ji ate his last piece, sighed and said: "Ming's childlike heart is not here."

Lu Mingtong didn't know what he was thinking and he lost everything, he quickly pressed his hand to play tricks: "No, no, sorry, I won't go down there."

Feng Ji didn't back down: "Don't Ming Tong know the truth about leaving a child without regrets?" After speaking, he slapped the hand that wanted to regret stealing a child without mercy.

Lu Mingtong withdrew his hand with a cry, and said aggrievedly: "No regrets, no regrets, you won."

Feng Ji said: "Since I won, is there any reward?"

Lu Mingtong rolled his eyes, and said maliciously: "Yes, but this reward still needs to be processed, and I will offer it with both hands when it is ready."

Just as he was talking, the door next door creaked open.Lu Mingtong lifted his spirits, clapped his hands and got up to look, only in time to see a white corner of his clothes flashing past.

This is gone?

Not long after, Duan Heng also came out of the room, looked at his curious expression but didn't dare to ask, and took the initiative to tell him: "He needs to slow down."

On the second day, Lu Mingtong sent someone to release the news that the devil has been eliminated, everyone can go out with confidence.

Lucheng has returned to its former bustle. Lu Mingtong has never seen Shen Huaian again. Duan Heng still goes to the relief point in the south of the city every day without hesitation, but he never looked up when he passed the teahouse. He knew that the red piece on the second floor The strips will never be tied again.

Lu Mingtong's condition was also improving. Duan Heng changed his prescription. When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he could vaguely recall a few old things that he had forgotten, and then he was awakened in a cold sweat.

When the last leaf of the big tree in front of the inn fell, Lu Mingtong let out a breath of white air.

The end of the year is approaching.
