Go back to ancient times to explore the case

Yan Qingchuan didn't ask after all, she let go of Xie Yu'an, and waved her hand wearily, "It's ok, let's go out."

Seeing that she was emotionally ill, Xie Yu'an wanted to ask, but sensed a hint of impatience on Yan Qingchuan's face, and finally obediently left the room.

The next day, someone came to report that they saw the spice vendor go to Nanshi to meet a man, and then the man galloped to Suye Mountain on the outskirts of the city overnight.

The magistrate called them to discuss the matter, and he said worriedly: "There used to be a large field of nirvana medicine on Suye mountain, but it was burned and turned into ashes. The government also sent people to demolish the road up the mountain. There have been rumors of beasts eating people on the mountain, so the common people seldom go there, could it be that they are using the pretense of beasts to hurt people to resume their old business on Suye Mountain?"

"Very likely." Yan Qingchuan nodded.

The prefect of Crane City shook his sleeves: "Then I will arrange for people to go up the mountain to investigate right now."

Yan Qingchuan stopped him: "Don't worry, if you make a big fanfare, it's easy to scare the snake, I'll just dive up the mountain alone tonight to investigate."

"This... acting alone, Yan Shaoqing's safety..."

"Don't worry, I know what I know, and I won't take risks."

Xie Yu'an at the side secretly winked at Luo Yirong.

At night, Yan Qingchuan changed into black clothes, took his sword and walked out of the room, and saw the same three black figures waiting in the courtyard.

Even the dim night couldn't hide Xie Yu'an's flamboyant smile, she raised her chin and said, "I'm so dazed, let's go, Master Yan."

Yan Qingchuan was displeased with their presumptuous behavior: "I said I can go alone."

"One more person, one more pair of eyes, and one more care." Luo Yi persuaded.

"Yes, yes, don't waste time, Master Yan, let's go." Saying that, Xie Yu'an took Yan Qingchuan by the arm and left the house.

The four first rode to Suye Mountain, and then found a hidden path overgrown with weeds and climbed up the mountain.The moonlight is cold, and the dead branches and leaves are intertwined together, forming a scene of ghostly shadows.

After a while, the four of them walked to the mountainside, and suddenly they saw dots of light in the distance. They opened the haystack and saw that a group of people and horses were coming down from the mountain in the distance. barrel, the coachman cracked his whip.

The sound of the wheels rolling was getting closer and closer to them, and the four of them hurriedly lowered themselves and hid in a pile.Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan faced each other, sticking to each other extremely, a few rays of moonlight projected from the branches fell on Yan Qingchuan's eyebrows, Xie Yu'an whispered: "Master Yan, your eyelashes are so long."

It happened that the convoy passed by the haystack on their side, so Yan Qingchuan didn't hear it clearly, and she asked after the convoy was a little further away, "What did you just say?"

Xie Yu'an praised without hesitation: "I said, Yan Da has a really good-looking life."

Yan Qingchuan didn't look at her, and stood up, "Stop being so talkative, let's go."

So the four of them continued to go up along the road the convoy left. After a while, they came to a small hillside. There was a large medicine field below the northeast of the hillside. Several guards with knives were stationed at each corner. There is a larger house with bright lights inside and two guards standing outside the door.

Such a large medicine field, after the raw materials are collected, I don’t know how many Nirvana can be made, and they are sold to various places, causing young men and women who are not deeply involved in the world to go astray.

A trace of pain appeared in Yan Qingchuan's eyes, "Let's go, go back and discuss the arrest with the magistrate."

The four of them were waiting to return the same way, when they suddenly saw a group of patrolling guards in front of them. The guards were leading a hunting dog. The hunting dog had been sniffing wildly on the ground, as if it had already smelled the smell of outsiders.

They hid in the haystack, all tensed up.

The group of guards was about to turn around, but the hounds suddenly raised their heads and barked at the haystack where they were hiding. The leader of the guards immediately pulled out his long knife and shouted: "There! Grab her!" After saying that, he let go of his hand , The hound shot over like a sharp arrow.

Yan Qingchuan grabbed Xie Yu'an and jumped out of the haystack, kicked the grinning hound away, and said loudly at the same time: "Rong Shi, take Luo Yi with you, and walk at two ends!"

"Okay, be careful."

The four immediately separated into two directions and fled away.

Yan Qingchuan and Xie Yu'an were followed by several guards who were chasing after them. Xie Yu'an couldn't run fast, but she had sharp eyes and a clever mind. While escaping, she caught a glimpse of a deserted trap set by hunters in the forest, so she dragged Yan Qingchuan into the forest. Jumping into the pit, they were nowhere to be seen when the pursuers came after them, so they divided into two teams and chased east and west.

The two were lying in the narrow animal pit, their limbs could not be stretched apart, and they were embracing each other again, with most of their bodies clinging to each other. Yan Qingchuan heard the footsteps above them getting farther away, so he was about to stand up with his arms stretched out. However, Xie Yu'an, who was below him, grabbed his waist and abdomen and pulled him down.

She lay on Xie Yu'an's body, with one leg squeezed between the other's legs. The posture was as indecent as it could be.

"What?!" Yan Qingchuan said angrily.

"Don't move, Master Yan, I'm in pain."

Xie Yu'an's voice sounded really painful, Yan Qingchuan froze for a moment, then loosened his brows and asked, "Where did you fall?"

"I hit my lower back."

Yan Qingchuan got up immediately, climbed up the pit again, and stretched out his hand to Xie Yu'an, "Come up."

After pulling Xie Yu'an into the pit, Yan Qingchuan went around to check behind her, but he didn't see any obvious trauma, so he casually pressed her waist, and the next second, a woman's voice sounded softly and vaguely in the quiet forest. Qing "uh..."

Yan Qingchuan's movements froze, and she felt her heart beat faster. She kept calm and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

Xie Yu'an endured the soreness, and reluctantly nodded, "Let's go down the mountain first, it's not safe now."

Yan Qingchuan glanced at the medicine field, "Don't worry, all their guards are dispatched to hunt us down right now, and there is no one guarding the medicine field, why don't we take this opportunity and set them on fire."

Xie Yu'an became excited: "Okay."

After a while, the two sneaked to the side of the medicine field, and there was no one guarding this side. Yan Qingchuan took out a flint from his arms, ignited it with a "swoosh" and threw it out. The medicine field was overflowing with vegetable oil. It's just a click away.

The flames spread wildly, and within a short time the entire medicine field was engulfed in flames, and the flames shot straight into the sky.

At this time, a man like a thin monkey ran out of the house on the side. Seeing this scene, his eyes were tearing apart, he picked up a piece of wood and ran towards Yan Qingchuan, "I will kill you!"

Yan Qingchuan didn't want to get entangled with him, picked up a handful of sand and threw it at the man's face with his toes, and then quickly went down the mountain with Xie Yu'an.

After going down the mountain, Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan said at the same time: "If you don't go back to the city, first find a residential place to stay."

Every word the two said matched, Xie Yu'an raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Yan also noticed that it was the prefect who leaked our whereabouts?"

Yan Qingchuan's eyes dimmed a bit, she nodded, "Well, we are here to investigate Nirvana, except for Sir Si Wei, only the prefect of Crane City knows about it, and only he knows that I will go up the mountain to spy on the medicine field tonight."

"Just now that team pretended to be patrolling as usual, but it was still exposed by a slip of the tongue. It was clear that the four of us were hiding in one place, but that person only said about her, and he was so sure that the prefect of Crane City could only communicate with him in advance. It’s just that I didn’t expect the three of you to join in temporarily.”

Xie Yu'an was so angry when he thought of the righteous and indignant hypocrisy of the prefect's old man, but when he thought about it, Nirvana could make a comeback in this place. If it weren't for someone to protect him, how could it be so smooth, and their protective umbrella is precisely this Crane City Prefect.

"Rongshi and the others can react, right? They won't be so stupid as to send to the magistrate's door?" Xie Yu'an worried.

"Don't worry, they will detect the abnormality and take precautions." After finishing speaking, Yan Qingchuan took Xie Yu'an to the country lanes, looking for farmers in the suburbs.

Fortunately, after a while, they found a residential house that had not yet been lit. Yan Qingchuan supported Xie Yu'an and knocked on the door. The door opened. Inside was a middle-aged couple. baby.

"This is the two girls?"

Xie Yu'an smiled weakly: "Brother, the two of us are sisters who went to Beijing to look for relatives. We met bandits on the way, our bags were robbed, and we were accidentally injured. I hope brothers and sisters-in-law will let us rest for a night , when my sisters get out of trouble in the future, I will definitely repay the kindness of the two of you."

The man waved his hands again and again, "Come in, come in, you don't need to repay the favor, it's just a matter of raising your hands, my child, you go and tidy up the house, and make a new mattress for the two girls to sleep in."

After Xie Yu'an and Hanzi said a few more polite words, he and Yan Qingchuan walked into the room where they were going to stay tonight.

The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy. The woman made the bed and smiled kindly: "You two girls, don't be disgusted."

"Where is the aunt, this mattress looks soft." Xie Yu'an lay down on the couch, but he moved too much and pulled the wound on his lower back, causing her to "hiss" in pain.

Yan Qingchuan's expression changed, and he immediately asked the woman, "Ma'am, do you have any medicine for bruises?"

This may be the first time a woman has heard someone call her Madam, she rubbed her hands a little embarrassedly: "Yes, there are, I'll get them for you."

After the woman left the room, Yan Qingchuan stood up Xie Yu'an and sat down, with a serious expression, "Don't move around, do you still want your waist?"

"But I can't sit still." Xie Yu'an said angrily, then limply fell on Yan Qingchuan, and finally tilted her body and fell on the other's lap.

"Sit down." Yan Qingchuan ordered.

Xie Yu'an didn't listen, turned over instead, buried his face in Yan Qingchuan's lap, and said in a muffled voice: "No, I'm so tired, Mr. Yan is kind, let me lie down for a while."

"You—" Yan Qingchuan stretched out his hand to grab her, but Xie Yu'an seemed to be really exhausted, he relaxed all over, lying on her lap with his face sideways, and his breathing became longer and longer.

Yan Qingchuan's hand paused in the air for a while, then slowly lowered it, and finally landed on Xie Yu'an's side face. The skin under her hand was fair and delicate, like a fine porcelain vase. Her fingertips moved a little bit, and touched Xie Yu'an's tall and straight face. Along the bridge of the nose, the tip of the index finger rests on the round and small end of the other's nose, and a gentle breath is exhaled under it.

Yan Qingchuan had a thought, and when he seemed to want to do something, the door opened, and the little boy stood at the door holding a box of plaster and said in a childlike voice, "Sister, Mommy asked me to give it to you."

Yan Qingchuan made a booing gesture and waved at him.

The little boy walked to her side, Yan Qingchuan took the plaster, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, showing a shallow smile, and then patted the little boy's head: "Thank you mother and father for us."

The boy nodded, looked at the sleeping Xie Yu'an, and asked softly, "What's wrong with this sister?"

"She was sleepy and fell asleep."

"Sister, is she your sister? I really want to have a sister."

Yan Qingchuan rolled his eyes slightly, and replied softly, "She's not my sister."

The boy was a little confused and said: "But this elder sister just said that you are sisters, are you younger sister?"

Yan Qingchuan shook his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, she looked at Xie Yu'an who was sleeping peacefully on her lap, and said slowly: "None."

The little boy was about to ask again, but Yan Qingchuan interrupted him and said: "Okay, it's time for you to go to bed, you can grow taller if you go to bed earlier."

The little boy nodded obediently, turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him.

The room fell silent, Yan Qingchuan's legs were slightly numb from Xie Yu'an's pillow, but she didn't move, and let him lie like this, until half an hour later, Xie Yu'an woke up with a vague sound.

She stretched on Yan Qingchuan's lap, and the tingling pain in her waist made her wake up suddenly. In her sight was Master Yan's expressionless face.

Xie Yu'an gradually remembered how she fell asleep lying on Yan Qingchuan's body, she said with a sneer, "Master Yan, good evening, good evening?"
