Queen's Detective

Chapter 137 The Former Residence

Life is like a dream, in which you don't know you are a guest.

Life is like water, and the water knows what I am.

The tired horseshoe rested outside the city, Yan Sanbai sat under the tree, staring at the lights on the Yebo passenger boat from across the bank, in a daze.Suddenly, his body was hugged into a warm embrace, Yan Sanbai wanted to know who it was, and moved his body so that he could hug him more comfortably.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked.

Li Yan rested his chin on his shoulder, "Let them sleep first, you keep watch, I will watch you."

It was a bit chilly at night, but the two of them hugged each other, but it was very warm.

Li Yan liked to hug him like this, Yan Sanbai was in his arms, unable to go anywhere.Yan Sanbai turned his head to look at him, his expression was focused and warm, the two of them were so close, their breathing seemed to blend together.

Li Yan couldn't help kissing him, the moonlight was like a Gu cast by the old man, luring him to gradually lose his mind.There was no time to rest during this journey, and it was rare for the two of them to be tender, and Yan Sanbai didn't want to separate easily after this fire.

It's just that he let Li Yan do whatever he wanted at first, and when his clothes faded a little and he felt the chill of spring, he immediately woke up.Grabbing Li Yan's hand violently, his voice became slightly hoarse, and said, "Still on vigil."

Li Yan also knew that this was not a good time for Wen Cun, if someone attacked, it would be nice.He had no choice but to stop, but he still bit Yan Sanbai's ear unwillingly, and said with a light smile, "Isn't it just enough to watch the night? It's also okay to sit on the ground under the sky?"

The deep and magnetic voice was also tinged with lust, teasing people's hearts, causing Yan Sanbai to turn his head and stare at him, "You go mess around on your own."

"How can I do it by myself?" Li Yan was thick-skinned, rubbing Yan Sanbai's neck, and said: "I don't have any ambitions, but I want to die under the peony flower, even a ghost will be romantic."

Yan San smiled in vain, "Is this a happy life?"

Li Yan interlocked his fingers and kissed the tip of his nose, "Of course."

The nearby Lone Ding fell asleep with his pillow wrapped around his arms, muttered something, turned over, and got closer to Su Ran, showing a lonely back.

Early the next morning, the four of them entered the city. This is Su Ran's hometown. Of course, he swam into the sea like a fish and talked a lot more than usual.Since Su Ran's family lived here, the four of them stopped staying at the inn and followed him back to the old house in Guangjili.

The south of the Yangtze River is very rich, and Su Ran is also from a small rich family, but he is the only one left in the family and has no one to accompany him, so he left his hometown.When the people in Langhuan Pavilion learned that they were coming, they sent someone to clean the house that they hadn't lived in for a long time, so Su Ran brought a prince, a detective, and an unusual long-term follower to return home.

Although he hasn't returned for many years, Su Ran is carrying a three-stringed string on his back, and he is dressed as a storyteller, so he can tell at a glance that it is his family.Things can't be hidden in the small alleys. The owner's family is short and the west's family is short. After a long time, everyone knows that the kid from the Su family who went out to roam has returned. Meijiao Niang did not bring back one, but brought back Three young and handsome gentlemen.

Su Ran brought the cakes she bought to visit the door. At [-]:[-] in the evening, every household was lit with candles, and the red lanterns in the alleys added another layer of brilliance to the fireworks during the day, adding a bit of elegance.

The evening breeze is cool, and the slightly bright sky stretches people's shadows.

Squatting alone by the wall and playing with the bamboo dragonfly he just got, Su Ran moved a small bench and sat at the door, playing a three-stringed string, making him nostalgic.Not long after, someone played an allegro, and the sound of pipa sounded from that room again. An old voice with the warmth of time, sounded from between the white walls and black tiles.

Who is it that caused lovesickness, and made lovesickness again?

Yan Sanbai and Li Yan sat on the rattan chair under the pagoda tree in the courtyard wall. Su Ran dug out her daughter Hong who had been buried under the tree for 18 years to entertain them. Playing with the silk strings outside, I feel a little tipsy before drinking.

The news of Lu Shuangxing has arrived here one step later, and the order in which the three poems were discovered is indeed wrong.The sentence "It's born from the same root, why is it too urgent to fry each other" should be after the eight tones of Ganzhou and before the youthful chivalry.

Followed by, there is a new poem.

"In front of "Young Chivalry", there is also a lyric name called Liuzhou Getou." Yan Sanbai put down the wine glass, dipped some wine with chopsticks, and wrote the word 'six' on the small table.

Then, the chopsticks moved up and wrote the word 'seven', "This is "Seven Step Poems."

Then, with a stroke and a stroke, ""Eight Sounds of Ganzhou"."

"Temporarily get Jinwu night, look at Huoshuchun, "Fifteen Nights Viewing Lanterns"." Li Yan took the latest line of poem, eight, seven, six, five, the numbers decrease in turn, each line of poetry must be accompanied by someone's death.And this time the one who died was a Captain Jin Wu under Pei Yang.

Ling Ding leaned over following the sound, "What will happen if the countdown ends?"

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, took a sip of Nurhong, and said quietly: "It must be a consequence that none of us can easily bear."

Can't afford it?After thinking about it alone, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Seeing the peaceful scene in front of him, it's better not to think about that terrible thing.

"Now that we know the mystery hidden in the poem, what should we do next?" Ling Ding asked.

Yan Sanbai pondered for a moment, "Do you have any clues about Su Mei's mother's former residence?"

"For the time being, I only know that she is in the east of the city. Her mother used to be an actress, and our people are going to Liyuan to inquire. It is said that Miss Su has never been here. Is it really useful for us to come here to look for it?" Ling Ding said, wondering stand up.

Li Yan glanced at him, and gently tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan, "The earliest and deepest relationship between Mr. Mei and Mr. Zhuangyuan is Su Mei. If there was no Su Mei, he would not have returned to the barracks to take Mr. Mei away. He wouldn't fall off the cliff with him in his arms, so, even though Mr. Mei didn't have such a deep sister-sister relationship with Su Mei, because of this bad relationship, he will remember it for the rest of his life. Am I right?"

Li Yan said the last sentence while looking at Yan Sanbai.Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, "That's probably the case. The reason why I came here is that Biluochun is a clue. In addition, when Su Mei was here, she once said that if I have a chance, I will take her ashes with me." Coming back to the south of the Yangtze River, she grew up in the north and wanted to come here to have a look."

When Yan Sanbai mentioned Su Mei, his expression was always peaceful with a touch of tenderness, which made Ling Ding very curious, what did the woman who was mentioned frequently look like?

Li Yan looked at him and shook his head helplessly—this kid, after this matter is over, let's be a matchmaker for him.

The three lived in Su Ran's house for several days. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, they would not go out casually on weekdays. With Yan Sanbai's lightness skills, it would be a blink of an eye to go out, and others would only see it. Seeing a white cloud, how can there be any figure.

But this made people even more curious. A few children from the neighbors lay on the door every day, just wanting to take a look at the handsome uncle.

On the fourth day, Su Mei's mother's former residence was finally found, but what was surprising was that the people below reported that someone lived in that house and had lived there for many years. It looked like an ordinary family.

Did they find the wrong one?

No, their direction should not be wrong, Yan Sanbai frowned, there should be some twists and turns.

In any case, now that you have found it, you must go and see it for yourself.Without further ado, Yan Sanbai and Li Yan changed into ordinary scholar's clothes, followed the route given by Su Ran, and found the small house facing the river.

It was noon at that time, and the willows on the bank were swaying, and the small boat with awning was drilled through the bridge hole and rowed leisurely in the water of the small river.

The stone steps turned around the bank and extended into the river. The women making clothes sat in the shade of the trees and whispered to each other.

"Squeak—" the oars called out, and the boat full of pelicans rushed down the river, one swooped into the water, and picked up a small fish.

Not long after, another small boat came in front, and the two boats met. The boatmen greeted each other, and seeing the one behind, they stopped on the shore.

The two scholars came down, and a group of pelicans climbed onto the boat, flapping their wings, and the corners of their clothes were wet with water.

The boatman hurriedly apologized, and one of them, who was handsome and lovable, waved his hand and politely said 'no problem'.

There was another squeak, and the door of the house on the bank opened, and a young girl came out.She was carrying a bucket, followed by a big yellow dog, with a faint smile on her face and braided braids. She looked like Xiaojiabiyu in Jiangnan's impression.

However, Li Yan and Yan Sanbai were stunned, because this girl was actually blind.

The big yellow dog saw two strangers, guarding the girl, barking several times.The girl hurriedly knelt down and touched the back of his neck to comfort him. At the same time, a concerned question came from the half-closed door: "What's wrong?"

As soon as the voice came out, Yan Sanbai suddenly felt a little strange - why is it so familiar?

Turning to look at Li Yan, I found that he was the same.

Then he couldn't run away, Yan Sanbai was about to step forward to find out, but the people inside came out by themselves.

The ordinary Tsing Yi bunt, but it can't conceal the extraordinary temperament, the same surprise as Yan Sanbai and Li Yan on the stern face - why are you (you) here?

"Brother Guan?" Yan Sanbai looked at him, then at the girl, after Chang'an, why did Guan Qingci appear here?

At this time, the girl finally spoke, and looked around blankly, "Brother Guan, is your friend here?"

Guan Qingci walked over with a gentle voice, "Yes, they are my old friends from Chang'an, the two I told you about."

"Ah." The girl was surprised for a moment, then smiled, "I'm almost being rude, come in quickly, I'll make tea for you."

Saying that, the girl brought the big yellow dog in, and she looked so happy, as if she regarded the two of them as her friends.

Yan Sanbai asked Guan Qingci with his eyes, Guan Qingci shook his head, "It's a long story."

After a pause, he said again: "However, I was invited by an invitation card, how about you?"

The two were stunned, "Invitation? What invitation?"

"Xiaomeiyuan Poetry Club."
