across mountains and seas

"Have you heard? Last night, there was blood on the mass grave, I'm afraid something serious happened!"

"It's best not to mention that kind of evil place, bad luck!"

"Aren't you afraid of zombies over there?"

"Speech! Don't talk about it, it's frightening to hear!"

Jing Lan bought some clean clothes and came back. As soon as she entered the inn lobby, she heard several traveling merchants chatting vividly about the strange things they heard today around the table.

Jing Lan listened carefully to a few words, and returned to the wing without asking any further questions.

Liu Xi had just finished her lunch, so Xiao Er specially asked Xiao Er to set up a new table of wine and food. Calculating the time, Jing Lan should be back around this time.Shen Jiangli had a full meal today and was in a good mood. He lay down by the window and looked into the distance from the second floor. The autumn air was refreshing. Although it was not a beautiful view, it was a hundred times better than the one below the Temple of Death.

"Sister Shen." The first thing Jing Lan said to Shen Jiangli when she came back was, "Liuxi, she didn't mess around, did she?"

Shen Jiangli turned his head, patted his chest, and said with a smile, "I am here."

When Jing Lan left the inn, she was very strict, not to mention that Jing Lan was not allowed, she would not agree to Liu Xi's nonsense.Although ghost doctors are not the right way in the Jianghu, but the doctor has a heart to help the world, how can he let the sick man toss his body under the nose?

Jing Lan breathed a sigh of relief and put down her clean clothes.

"Don't keep hanging on me, you've been busy for half a day, aren't you hungry?" After Liu Xi finished speaking, she pointed to the delicacies on the table, "Eat your lunch first."

Who is always hanging on to her?

Jing Lan held back her words and asked, "What about you?"

Shen Jiangli rubbed his belly, "Eat it!" Seeing how satisfied she was, she must be full.

Jing Lan served a bowl of rice for herself, and the smell of the rice was so strong that she didn't feel very hungry before, but after smelling the smell of the rice, how could she bear it?

Liu Xi looked at Jing Lan eating with a smile, and couldn't help laughing: "Eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."

"Understood." Jing Lan answered in a hurry, took a piece of fish into the mouth, and only chewed it, the delicious aroma melted into the taste buds, it was really delicious.

After watching Jing Lan eat half of it, Liu Xi said, "A Lan, have you heard?"

Jing Lan swallowed the rice, "Are you talking about the bloody vision in the mass grave?"

Liu Xi nodded solemnly, "The light of blood is probably the light of fire." She was most worried about such a result, "Since the bait is useless, the best way is to destroy it."

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Jing Lan said thoughtfully, "I'll go to the mass grave to have a look."

"No way!" Liu Xi objected, "If it's another trap, how can you handle it alone?"

Jing Lan frowned, "I will be careful in everything."

"Let's go back to the ship first, and you listen to me on this matter." Liu Xi finished speaking earnestly, with a much gentler tone, "We'll have a long-term plan when we meet Uncle Qin."

"But..." Jing Lan worried that after leaving Jiangqing County, the mass graves would change again in the past few days.

"I've relied on you to heal my wounds well, so you should also rely on me once, okay?" Liu Xi asked earnestly.

Jing Lan sighed softly, can you say no?

Since it was agreed to go back to the ship first, Jing Lan didn't say any more.

After the three rested in the inn for half an hour, Jing Lan and Liu Xi changed into clean clothes, hired a carriage, and left the inn with the box.

The carriage traveled very slowly on the mountain road, and it took half a day to reach the wharf where Uncle Qin was, but the carriage still traveled for a full seven hours.

The sun had risen for a long time on the second day, and the carriage finally arrived at the pier.

Jing Lan carried Liu Xi off the carriage, walked along the gravel path to the pier, tiptoed, and brought Liu Xi to land on the deck of her own ship.

Uncle Qin, who was hiding in the dark, saw that his young master had returned, so he jumped out from the dark place, "See you young master." As soon as the words fell, seeing Liu Xi limping towards the inner cabin, Uncle Qin asked in a low voice. Said: "The eldest young lady is hurt again?"

Jing Lan's face was ashen, "Uncle Qin, let's go in and talk." After she finished speaking, she saw Shen Jiangli also boarded the ship, so she was relieved, and walked into the inner cabin with her head down.

Liu Xi found a pen and paper in the inner cabin, and quickly drew a map and flattened it on the table.

"Uncle Qin, go along this road to the Dahuang Mountain. When you come to a Buddha statue, you can see a stone platform with a big opening under the stone platform." Liu Xi said seriously, "Remember to prepare torches, if you encounter Insects, we must attack first and burn them all."

Jing Lan shook her head, "It's too dangerous for Uncle Qin to go alone!"

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Who said Uncle Qin went alone?"

Uncle Qin was stunned, and so was Jing Lan.

"Uncle Qin, put away the map first, and then send us back to Haicheng first." Liu Xi didn't continue, "It's time for Ah Lan to go back and receive the order."

Jing Lan was dubious, "What about the rice?"

"If it's all burned, then we have to find another way." Liu Xi smiled helplessly, "It's just that I thought about it again. It would be a bit stupid for them to burn the rice they bought at a huge price like this."

"You mean, they deliberately put on a show for us?" Jing Lan was stunned.

Liu Xi nodded, "Smart! If you don't think about it again, what do they want to do next?"

Jing Lan was concentrating, and glanced at the box Shen Jiangli put aside—that person clearly had many chances to kill them, but since they left the Temple of Death, that person never appeared again.

Jing Lan only knew something was wrong, the man was in the dark after all, Jing Lan couldn't guess what the man wanted to do next?

"Actually, I can't figure it out either." Liu Xi continued, looking at the box together with Jing Lan, "Maybe, that person is still spying on you and my every move in the dark, waiting for you and me to open this box." So Although Liu Xi was curious about what was in the box, she would never open the box until Jing Lan was firmly seated as the governor of East Fuzhou.

Hearing what Liu Xi said, Uncle Qin was quite curious about the box, "Where did this come from?"

"It was dissected from the belly of a murderous creature in the Xiangsheng Temple." After Liu Xi finished speaking lightly, he thought of another thing, "Uncle Qin, what did you find here?"

Uncle Qin nodded, "Yes!"

"Let's hear it!" Liu Xi asked excitedly.

"Several ox carts of food and grass came here last night, and all of them were pushed onto a black-sail sea boat." Uncle Qin recalled the people and things he saw, "The leader of the black-sail sea boat is a girl in purple. Holding a pipe, her figure looks like... Miss Youyou."

Liu Xi smiled lightly and said: "If it's really her, I have to think about it, how can I catch her and interrogate her?"

If the matter of harvesting grain is related to Youyou, then she must know a lot.

Things will be much easier if you have a clue.

"You, you?" Shen Jiangli was quite curious when he heard the name.

Jing Lan smiled, "She's a prickly girl, the deadly kind."

"Alan almost fell into her hands at the beginning." There was something in Liu Xi's words, and there was a smile on his face, but his tone was chilly, "The more beautiful the girl, the more beautiful you are, Alan." Be careful, don't get lost."

Jing Lan coughed twice, "Nonsense!"

Uncle Qin laughed, "Beautiful and prickly girl, the young master must be more careful."

"Xiao Xin." Shen Jiangli also laughed, and followed Uncle Qin to make fun of Jing Lan.

"..." Jing Lan knew that she couldn't talk to these people, so she quietly glanced at Liu Xi.

Indeed, the more beautiful the girl, the more careful she should be.

Liu Xi met her gaze, smiled softly, moved her lips slightly, and said silently, "Don't be afraid."

Who is afraid of who?

Jing Lan turned her face away, and hurriedly said: "It's not too late, Uncle Qin, let's go back to Haicheng as soon as possible."

"Okay." Uncle Qin rolled up his sleeves and strode out of the cabin, "I'm going to lift the anchor right now."

"I'll help you!" Jing Lan went after Uncle Qin, if she stays here, maybe Liu Xi will talk nonsense again.

Liu Xi smiled, but she didn't mean to stop Jing Lan.

"Sister, if I fix my ankle with a bamboo clamp, can I still walk a few steps with a limp?" Liu Xi suddenly asked Shen Jiangli.

Shen Jiangli blinked and nodded.

"What if it flies by relying on lightness?" Liu Xi asked again.

Shen Jiangli said seriously: "Small, heart!"

"It doesn't matter if you pay attention." Liu Xi already understood, she had already made up her mind, and lowered her voice to seduce Shen Jiangli, "Sister, shall I discuss something with you?"

"What?" Shen Jiangli asked curiously.

Liu Xi hooked her fingers, signaling Shen Jiang to get closer.

Shen Jiangli moved the stool and sat down beside Liu Xi.

"Are you accompanying me to take Uncle Qin and the others to visit the Temple of Death?"

"Little, five!"

Shen Jiangli was shocked and shook his head quickly.

"Two meals." Liu Xi gestured with her fingers.

Shen Jiangli hesitated.

Liu Xi took Shen Jiangli's arm and said with a smile, "Half a month."

Shen Jiangli's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, and excitedly hooked his little finger at Liu Xi, thinking that his skin was poisonous, he quickly shrank back.

"I keep my word." Liu Xi smiled and touched the back of Shen Jiangli's head.

Shen Jiangli followed suit with a smile, and was still a little worried when he heard the voices of Jing Lan and Uncle Qin outside the cabin, "She, fierce."

Liu Xi smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you, I told Uncle Qin and the others not to tell, Ah Lan won't know." After a short pause, Liu Xi said with a sigh, "I can no longer fight side by side with her, If you can’t even do these things, then it’s really trash.”

Shen Jiangli made up his mind and comforted him, "Accompany you!"

Liu Xi chuckled, and deliberately raised her voice: "Sister, you can think about the recipes these few days."

"Okay, okay." Shen Jiangli was very happy.

Jing Lan outside the cabin heard Shen Jiangli's laughter, and thought to herself, "Why did you mention the recipe all of a sudden?"

"Anyway, I'm going to rest in Haicheng for a while when I go back. I'll cook whatever you want, girl."

"Uh-huh!"

Jing Lan pricked up her ears to hear these two sentences, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

Uncle Qin said with a smile: "Young Madam is a sensible person, so you don't have to worry about it."

Jing Lan frowned, "Is she still sensible?"

"She can go up to the living room and go down to the kitchen. Isn't such a girl sensible?" Uncle Qin couldn't help but praise Liu Xi, thinking of the eldest son who died young, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "It's a pity... alas."

Jing Lan's heart twitched slightly.

"The world is the most harsh on women. After three years of filial piety, the eldest and young lady, I'm afraid there are not many people to come to matchmaking." Uncle Qin shook his head and sighed, "The girl's family has been married once, and next time she will have to marry."

"Why do you have to marry?!" Jing Lan asked angrily.

Uncle Qin reminded Jing Lan, "After three years, what capacity will she stay in Haicheng? If she stays for a long time, her reputation will get worse, and she will never find a good man to marry in this life."

Let you ask Aunt Hong to release his wife's letter!Jing Lan secretly clenched her fists.

"The young master can also help the young lady to keep an eye on it in the past few years, and maybe find someone with the right family..."

"Uncle Qin, start the boat!"

Jing Lan suddenly interrupted Uncle Qin's words, she looked at the blue sea in the distance, and said harshly: "Is my Dongjing family's people picked and picked by others?"

"Yes." Uncle Qin seldom saw Jing Lan get angry, so how could he dare to say more?
