Go back to ancient times to explore the case

Xie's house is located in an old residential area in the city center. The family of three lived in a traditional three-bedroom house. Xie Yu'an's parents were both high school teachers. They had a very regular schedule and went to bed early.

But this night, Xie's mother was woken up by a strange noise in the quiet house for the second time. The sound came from the next room, Xie Yu'an's room.She immediately got up and patted Xie Fu, "Old Xie, listen, what is An An calling?"

"Did she have another nightmare?" Mother Xie said while putting on her coat and walking towards Xie Yu'an's room.

When she walked into the room, she heard what the daughter struggling in the nightmare on the bed was yelling.

"Yan Qingchuan."

And while shouting, her hands were still waving, with cold sweat on her face, Xie's mother was shocked when she saw her like this, she quickly sat on the side of the bed, and gently shook Xie Yu'an, "An'an, An'an, wake up, wake up .”

Xie Yu'an, who had her eyes closed tightly, opened them suddenly under Xie's mother's constant calls. Her eyes were distracted at the moment of sobriety, and it took a full minute for her eyes to gather again.

Mother Xie was terrified by her pale and sweaty face. Mother Xie pulled her up and touched her face. The tentacles turned out to be icy cold, and she cried out in fright: "Old Xie, Come quickly and see what's going on with An'an."

Father Xie quickly walked into the room, touched Xie Yu'an's forehead, and said worriedly: "An'an, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Seeing that Xie Yu'an still looked dull, the two couples were about to send Xie Yu'an to the hospital for a look. Xie Yu'an held Xie's mother and shook his head in a daze, "I'm fine, I just did a long... ..a very long dream."

"What dream?"

Facing her mother's question, Xie Yu'an didn't answer, she just retracted her hands, lay on the bed, covered her eyes with her hands, so as not to let her parents see the tears she couldn't help but said, "It's nothing, parents, go to sleep , I’ll be fine when I sleep again.”

"You look like this, mom and dad can't sleep, it will be dawn soon, I'll make a bowl of your favorite noodles, just wait obediently." After Xie's mother finished speaking, she took Xie's father away .

After the door was closed, Xie Yu'an couldn't help crying anymore, fearing that her parents were worried, she could only cover her head with the quilt and bury those broken and painful cries under the quilt.

Yes, she had a long dream. In the dream, she had Yan Qingchuan, but when she woke up, she lost Yan Qingchuan.

All the things she and Yan Qingchuan have experienced are like bubbles in water, a big dream.

Xie Yu'an finally fell asleep after crying unrestrainedly. When Xie's mother walked into the room carrying the noodles, she only saw Xie Yu'an's eyes swollen from crying.

She sighed and gave Xie Yu'an a good quilt, "This child, he had some nightmares all night."

After Xie Yu'an woke up, it was already afternoon, she got up numbly to change clothes and eat, and then went back to her room. A few days later, the university started, Xie Yu'an went back to school, had dinner after class, went back to the dormitory, everything looked the same as before , but the roommates and classmates around her can clearly see the obvious changes in her body.

Xie Yu'an used to be the most lively and cheerful person in the class, but now it is difficult to find a smile on her face, even if she smiles, she smiles very reluctantly. The roommates all wonder if something bad happened to Xie Yu'an at home, so They treated her with extra care and cared about her emotions.

But everything was in vain, Xie Yu'an felt as if she had lost the ability to be happy, when she was alone, when eating, when sleeping, she could hardly forget Yan Qingchuan, even when she was awake, and also in her dreams.

Yan Qingchuan seemed to be branded on her body, it hurts when she thinks about it, and it hurts when she doesn't think about it.

One day, after class, Xie Yu'an was walking to the dormitory alone, when he was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice on the way.

"Thank you Yu'an."

Xie Yu'an froze for a moment, then looked back, there was a strange young girl standing not far away, but she recognized the voice, it was Mo Rufan.

Mo Rufan walked towards her and asked, "Shall we go for a walk together?"

Xie Yu'an didn't answer, it was a tacit agreement.

The two walked to the forest path where there was no one there, and Mo Rufan looked at Xie Yu'an who had been walking with his head down and a calm expression, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay now?"

Xie Yu'an stopped for a while, then continued to walk forward, "There is nothing good, and there is nothing bad."

Mo Rufan knew everything she had experienced in the book, and was the only one who knew all about the relationship between her and Yan Qingchuan. She naturally understood why Xie Yu'an was so depressed. She stopped, took off the backpack behind her, and fumbled in it. A brand new book was published and handed to Xie Yu'an.

"After I came back, I finished writing Qingtian Division. This is the story between you and Yan Qingchuan."

Xie Yu'an didn't take the book, but stared blankly at the cover of the book.

The title of the book is still "Qingtiansi", and the cover is an ancient ink painting, with two silhouettes of women walking together towards the direction of light.

Xie Yu'an suddenly felt some heat in her eyes, but she didn't want Mo Rufan to see it, so after swallowing the choke in her throat, she took the book and said "thank you".

Thanks at least in the book, they will have a happy ending.

Mo Rufan picked up his bag and said, "The inspiration for this book is a local ancient building in City C. The old man there told me that it was in charge of criminal and prison cases in ancient times, called Qingtian Division. It has been planned as a scenic spot, if you are free, you can go and see it."

Xie Yu'an held the book and didn't say a word.

After Mo Rufan sighed, he said, "Then I'm leaving, you...you're fine."

"Ah."

After Mo Rufan left, Xie Yu'an found a bench with the book and sat down. Her fingertips touched the silhouettes of the two women on the cover, and she trembled slightly.

Opening the book, when the words Yan Qingchuan came into her eyes, she could no longer hold back the tears she had held back for a long time, dripping onto the pages of the book, smudged into patches of wet stains.

In the end, she didn't read the ending in the book, but just closed the book and pressed it on her chest very solemnly.

The next day, Xie Yu'an came to the city where the prototype of Qingtian Division was located with only a bag on his back. As Mo Rufan said, this is a huge ancient building that has been planned as a scenic spot.

The day was sunny and there were a lot of tourists. Xie Yuan lined up to enter the scenic spot after buying the ticket. After walking for a few minutes, the quaint plaque of Qingtian Division appeared in front of her eyes, which was exactly the same as the one in the book. She suddenly remembered that she had been in Qingtian How could Simen be begging Yan Qingchuan to let her join the Qingtian Division.

It is clearly two time and space, but Xie Yu'an is standing here now, but he feels as if he has revisited the old place, but he has not seen the old person.

Walking into Qingtian Division, the huge atrium was different from the Qingtian Division she stayed in. There was no big tree with luxuriant branches in the courtyard.

Xie Yu'an heard the guide of the scenic spot explaining the history of this ancient building.

"This Qingtian Division, according to legend, was an institution that specialized in criminal and prison cases during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and had greater power than ordinary yamen. According to the local chronicles unearthed in this city, this Qingtian Division once had a female young minister. "

The tourists below were chattering and discussing, Xie Yu'an exhaled, and was about to lift his legs to look at other areas, when he suddenly heard the excited voices of the tourists behind him, "Wow, there are still people playing role-playing."

"You're so pretty, this girl, it's so good to wear ancient costumes!"

"Let's go, let's take a group photo."

Xie Yu'an frowned and turned around, seeing the face of the woman surrounded by a group of tourists from a distance, her breathing stopped suddenly, her pupils dilated a little, and her whole body couldn't help trembling slightly.

And the woman seemed to feel her long-gazing gaze, and while she was at a loss to deal with the enthusiastic tourists, she also looked up.

The eyes of the two people crossed the tourists coming and going, and they touched each other.

Xie Yu'an's eyes were filled with sparkling water, she wiped her eyes, the mist in front of her eyes dissipated, murmured "Master Yan", and ran towards that side.

The crowd gave way automatically, and she hugged the astonished woman, when she actually touched Yan Qingchuan's body and felt her warm body temperature.

She understood that this time, Yan Qingchuan came to her world.

It was just like the final ending in the book "Qingtiansi" that she hadn't read yet, that clichéd but extremely beautiful sentence.

"In the end, they walked together hand in hand and never separated."

End of the book
