White-haired Demon Lord and Senior Brother

◎I only look at this cat with regret◎

On Yangui Island, Yang Qingyuan and Wu Yan were walking barefoot on the small sandy beach by the seashore. He held his own shoes in his hand, and he also carried shoes for Wu Yan. Turning around, he happened to see Wu Yan bent down, only his butt was facing his side, and Wu Yan was still bent over beside him looking for something seriously, he smiled slyly, and bumped lightly with his knee.

Wu Yan turned her head and took a look at him. There was no resentment, anger or joy on her face, but she stretched out her hand and patted the same part of him, but after that, she continued to bend down to look for something.

Yang Qingyuan asked: "What are you looking for? There are treasures on this beach?"

Wu Yan replied: "Look for shells, shells are often washed ashore, I want to find purple shells."

Yang Qingyuan was curious: "Can there still be purple shells in this sea?"

Wu Yan said in detail: "The darker the purple cloth, the more expensive it is, because most of the purple dyes are taken from purple shells, at least the Murong family is like this."

Yang Qingyuan understood it, and said again: "This thing is rare at first glance, it is not easy to find!"

Wu Yan replied: "Then I must at least find a piece of giant clam."

Yang Qingyuan was curious again: "What is that?"

Wu Yan replied: "Although it is not more expensive than sapphires, emeralds and rubies, it also has the luster of gems and can be used as cheap gems."

The two walked back and forth on the beach several times, only found two shells with a small piece of purple, and the rest were ordinary shells with interesting shapes, but Wu Yan still brought them back to Murong Villa.

After discussing on the road, Wuyan put these shells one by one into the stone tank with bamboo tube and flowing water, and arranged them into a disc to embellish the scenery of the bamboo tube and flowing water, adding a bit of elegance. Whenever I wash my hands here, I can look down. To those funny shells in the bottom of the water.

The family sat around the table to eat as usual. Wen Qian ate, and suddenly said: "There are a lot of shells growing in the sink behind, and the shape is quite interesting."

Yang Xinsu heard the words, surprised and said: "Really?! The jar is made of stone, and the stone can grow shells?" Then he said happily and playfully: "After dinner, I will go and play with some!"

Wu Yan blurted out lightly: "You are not allowed to take any of them, Qingyuan and I found them and put them in."

Yang Xinsu was slightly taken aback, because of this truth, she had no choice but to restrain her joy and continue to bury her head in her food.

Wen Qian suddenly realized: "No wonder, I still wonder why so many interesting shells popped out of thin air." She hurriedly asked, "Where did you two find them?"

Yang Qingyuan wrote lightly: "The southernmost small beach."

Wen Qian said to Yang Bin who was sitting next to her, "Let's go look for it some other day and try our luck."

Yang Bin looked back at her and just smiled softly.

When it was late at night, Yang Qingyuan found all the cats. The two kittens were placed on each shoulder, with Murong Heihe in one arm and Yuchan in the other, and climbed up the stairs of the small building , sent back to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Yang Qingyuan was stunned, and saw that those shells had been brought back, the surface was already dry, and they were placed on the table, with a glimmer of luster in the candlelight.Out of curiosity, he asked, "Why did you bring it back?"

Wu Yan was wrapping a cross around each shell with a strong string and tying it up, and replied: "It's not because of the incarnate devil at home, he said that, and sooner or later one or two shells will be stolen by him."

Yang Qingyuan put the cats one by one into the padded round bamboo basket, and then came to the table and sat down, looked at Wu Yan's busy work, and looked at Wu Yan's expression.Wu Yan said: "If you are free, share some of it and tie it up."

Although he didn't know why Wu Yan did this, Yang Qingyuan didn't care about it anymore, he just picked up a thin rope and wrapped the cross around the top, bottom, left, and right of the shell like him. After finally finishing it, he didn't know the time at all, just Because he felt very sleepy, he took off his wide-sleeved cloak and climbed onto the bed in his middle coat.

Sleeping until early in the morning, when Yang Qingyuan opened his eyes, Wu Yan was still lying on his side sleeping soundly, so he didn't bother Wu Yan, he just gently lifted Wu Yan's arm from his chest, Gently put it back, then gently get up, put on the robe, comb the black hair, and then go to morning exercise.

But he had just stepped out of the partition door when suddenly something flickered in his eyes. Curiosity made him go forward to have a closer look. When he came to the window, he found that the things shining brightly in the sun were those Interesting shells in various shapes.He never imagined that Wu Yan would wrap these shells around the cross with thin ropes and hang them in front of the window, making a dream curtain.

With the sound of thin footsteps, he turned his head immediately, and Wu Yan was wearing a cloak on his shoulders, and the black hair beyond his waist had not been combed, hanging vertically, and he was looking at him calmly.

"You woke up so soon?"

"The cat is meowing, get up and prepare cat food."

"I'll go and fix it. Each of these four cats has a different taste."

"Aren't you going to meditate and practice swords?"

"It should be very early when you come back after finishing the cat food."

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened, and Yang Qingyuan walked out of the bedroom and disappeared in the corridor outside.

Wuyan turned around calmly and returned to the inner room inside the partition door, sat lightly on the edge of the bed, picked up the adult cat closest to him, made it sit on his lap, and then raised its With the cat's hand, gently squeeze the ball of cat meat and check the nails.

Immediately, Wu Yan said to Hei Hei: "Hei Hei, your nails are long enough, it's time to trim them with scissors." The cat looked up at him, and softly called 'meow', Wu Yan replied: "I don't want to You have to cut it too, have you ever seen Yuchan's nails longer than yours?" The cat meowed again, and Wu Yan continued: "Today it's you who cut it, tomorrow it's Yuchan's turn."

Yu Chan yelled behind Wu Yan, and Hei Hei yelled in front of Wu Yan. One after another, it was very lively. A burst of light and quick footsteps came from outside, gradually approaching, and stopped suddenly outside the partition door. It was a woman. A voice sounded: "Report to Young Master, the courier has sent a letter, it's for Master Yuan."

Wu Yan asked curiously, "Why did the letter arrive so early?"

The maid replied: "The courier said that it was sent from Taoxia and traveled for several days."

Wu Yan was even more curious, and immediately said: "Bring in the letter first and give it to me."

The maid immediately walked into the inner room without hesitation, presented the letter, and withdrew.

Wu Yan looked at the handwriting on the paper and vaguely recognized the handwriting, so he immediately opened the letter and looked at the letter paper.

Yang Qingyuan came back with a few plates of fresh cat food on a tray, set the plates, turned around and saw a letter on the dressing table, and asked Wu Yan: "Who is this letter for?"

Wu Yan said bluntly, "It's for you."

Yang Qingyuan was taken aback for a moment: "Could it be...my brother wrote it?"

Wu Yan only said: "I've seen it just now, you can see it for yourself."

Yang Qingyuan picked up the letter, opened it to look at it, then folded the letterhead without saying a word.

Wu Yan asked with concern: "The fifteenth day of next month, are you going to the appointment, or not?"

Yang Qingyuan replied: "It's my birthday, and it's also his birthday, so of course I'm going." Glancing at Wuyan, he saw that he lowered his eyes to hide his mood, and then said: "We are married, he is my brother, and he should also be your brother Already, go on a date together?"

Wu Yan smiled slightly and nodded.

While the two were talking, the four cats had already jumped on the plate to enjoy breakfast, and even competed with each other, completely ignoring the conversation, and climbed up to the window sill after eating, grabbed the best seat and lay down leisurely, comfortably. Basking in the sun, enviable cat life.

At that time, Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng waited for Zhu Yunzhan at the Qingyuchun teahouse. The three of them drank tea and ate snacks in the "Lan" elegant room while talking. The wooden box was handed over to Huang Yan, saying that it was a suspicious item found in that mysterious cave.

Huang Yan first opened the box, took a look at it calmly, and then handed it over to Zhu Yanfeng, who asked him to open it and take a look. It turned out to be a neatly folded old cloak, and on top of the cloak was a ghost mask. Zhu Yanfeng was stunned. For a moment, he didn't say anything, just closed the lid and handed it back to Zhu Yunzhan.

After meeting for only an hour and a half, Zhu Yunzhan wanted to go to the palace to meet Su Zhongming due to business, and parted ways with the two early in front of the Qingyuchun teahouse.The two walked slowly side by side on the road, and they were silent for a while, then Zhu Yanfeng suddenly asked: "Don't you feel anything when you see the things in the box?"

Huang Yan smiled lightly: "What can I feel, but it's just an old cloak and a mask, which must have been left behind by the mastermind on purpose, but maybe they were used by the mastermind."

Zhu Yanfeng was curious: "With those two things, how can I find out who it is?"

Huang Yan replied: "Yunzhan must have given the things to him when he entered the palace, and he went to investigate."

As expected, Zhu Yunzhan presented the wooden box to Su Zhongming at the Luofu Hall at that time.As soon as the lid of the box was opened, Su Zhongming took a look, touched the corner of the cloak with his hand, picked up the mask and looked at the front and back carefully, and then said to Zhu Yunzhan: "Ask the mask carpenter , What kind of wood is this mask made of, which company's craftsmanship is it, and who has bought this mask."

Zhu Yunzhan nodded and wrote it down.

Su Zhongming added: "As for this cloak, it is not made of ordinary cotton and linen coarse cloth. I will ask a weaving and dyeing expert in person." He took the cloak out of the box and ordered the eunuch to fetch an empty wooden box and put the cloak in it. wooden box.

Zhu Yunzhan took over the original wooden box, bid farewell to Su Zhongming, and hurried out of the palace to find the mask carpenter.Su Zhongming immediately told the eunuchs in the hall: "Get ready to drive, I'm going to Murong's Weaving Bureau."

The eunuch respectfully agreed with a 'here', and hurried out of the palace, and prepared the carriage as instructed.

Before noon, Su Zhongming took a carriage to Murong's Weaving Bureau, east of Chenghuang, and walked into the living room.The manager of the Weaving Bureau came to meet Su Zhongming according to his order, and respectfully applauded him: "Xiaomin is fortunate to have met the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor condescends today. Is there something important?"

Su Zhongming asked the steward to look at the cloak in the wooden box, and asked, "Do you know the origin of the fabric of this cloak?"

The steward reached out his hand to touch the cloak, and then replied: "This kind of material has been produced in our weaving bureau, but Qin Yan's and Niu Yun's have also produced it. Xiaomin is only in charge of the production of the main shop and branch shops. and business, but do not know about weaving and dyeing."

Su Zhongming asked: "Then in your weaving bureau, who knows more about fabrics?"

The steward replied: "There are only masters and minor masters."

Su Zhongming sighed helplessly, and thought to himself: I still have to invite Wu Yan over...

At that time, Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng had just finished paying the bill in front of the cash register in the lobby of Qingyuchun Tea House. Zhu Yanfeng accepted the scattered copper coins recovered by the clerk for Huang Yan, and followed Huang Yan's footsteps to leave Qingyuchun Tea House.

The two leisurely walked on the busy street. Zhu Yanfeng casually glanced at the surrounding business scene while walking. After a while, he couldn't help sighing with emotion: "The market here is really nice, peaceful and peaceful."

Huang Yan happened to hear it in his ears, and said with a smile: "Come out with me to investigate the case, has it put you under pressure?"

Zhu Yanfeng was curious: "You are really sharp, your nose is so sharp that you can smell the pressure on my body?"

Huang Yan took it for granted: "Just now you talked casually and sighed in your words, isn't this just pressure?"

Zhu Yanfeng smiled helplessly, and confessed: "Seeing so many murder scenes with my own eyes, I feel very sad in my heart. I really hope that the cases can be solved as soon as possible, so that everyone can avoid unnecessary disasters."

Huang Yan replied: "Everyone wants to..."

Among the many figures in front of him, a small figure suddenly flashed, with a different shape, it could be seen that it was not human.Huang Yan saw it at a glance, and hurriedly chased after him. Seeing this, Zhu Yanfeng also hurriedly, for fear that he would not be able to keep up with Huang Yan.

After a while, Huang Yan stopped, Zhu Yanfeng also stopped, grabbed Huang Yan's shoulder with one hand, and said strangely: "What happened, why did you run?"

Huang Yan raised an index finger in front of his lips, gave a soft 'shh', and said in a low voice: "Don't talk, or you'll scare it away." Then he half squatted down, staring at the silent person in front of him. place.

Zhu Yanfeng followed Huang Yan's gaze, and after a while, he saw a yellow civet cat squatting in front of him. The cat was seriously licking its hands and washing its face.Zhu Yanfeng smiled slightly, then bent slightly behind him, watching the cat with him.

Huang Yan suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there anything on your body that can lure it over?"

Zhu Yanfeng touched his body and thought about it.Huang Yan turned his head again and glanced at him, fearing that the best time to catch a cat would be delayed, he persuaded: "Hurry up and buy some small dried fish nearby."

Zhu Yanfeng ran away immediately, and ran back after a quarter of an hour, handing a paper bag to Huang Yan.After receiving the paper package, Huang Yan immediately opened it, and then blew a clear whistle at the cat in front of him. The cat's ears trembled. Hearing the sound, he looked over and saw two humans, staring at them vigilantly.

Huang Yan flicked a small dried fish lightly with his fingertips, and the small dried fish fell close to the cat. When the cat saw the small dried fish, he ran over immediately, picked it up and ate it with great relish, and ate the whole dried fish Liao also licked the cat's mouth with relish, and saw Huang Yan's fingers still shaking the small dried fish, and immediately rushed to Huang Yan, meowing coquettishly at Huang Yan.

Huang Yan generously handed the dried fish to the cat, and the cat started to eat it, making the cat's fur under the neck covered with the crumbs left from the cat's mouth, but it didn't care.While it was eating happily, Huang Yan gently stroked the smooth cat's head.

Zhu Yanfeng squatted beside Huang Yan, looked at the cat, and couldn't help saying: "The sides of the cat's mouth are bulging like butterflies, and the cat's hands are fat and round like mangosteen, so cute!"

Huang Yan handed another piece of dried fish to the cat, and stroked the smooth cat's back and soft belly. The cat was only interested in eating, and didn't care about his actions. Zhu Yanfeng couldn't help but pat the cat's head.

After a while, Zhu Yanfeng looked sideways at Huang Yan, and suggested, "Take it home and raise it? If you like it very much."

Huang Yan withdrew his hand, looked straight at the cat in front of him, and thought about it seriously. After a quarter of an hour, he replied: "No need..."

Zhu Yanfeng was curious: "You don't want to raise it?"

Huang Yan explained the reason: "This cat didn't post it voluntarily. I caught it with its favorite food. If I take it away now, it would be kidnapping, wouldn't it be a cat dealer? Maybe it has an owner. "

After hearing this, Zhu Yanfeng felt that it was reasonable, so he didn't force others to do anything wrong, and only looked at the cat regretfully.

After feeding the small dried fish in his hand, Huang Yan didn't stay any longer, and stood up after touching the cat. Zhu Yanfeng turned around with him, and continued walking along the street. Huang Yan said: "The smell of dried fish is really strong, after touching it, it still stays on my hands."

Huang Yan smiled slightly: "Isn't that very good, you can also taste the taste of dried fish."

Zhu Yanfeng smelled it again, frowned slightly, then lowered his hands, stopped smelling, just looked around, and said: "Find a place with water and wash your hands."

Huang Yan simply said: "This is very easy, go to the river."

The two of them walked to the stream in the city, went down to a place where clothes were washed, squatted down halfway, closed their cuffs, and dipped their fingers into the clean and cool river water to wash them gently.

Zhu Yanfeng asked casually: "How long will you stay in Pingjing this time?"

Huang Yan replied: "It depends on the situation, I won't stay for too long."
