sinking into sand

The sky was getting dark, and a bright moon hung high, illuminating the two angry people in the mortal world.

In the inn, Yu Sha let go of the smoldering fire.Guan Lan walked to the street of Pingchunfang without looking back. As he walked far away, he let out the anger in his heart, very chic.

It's just that I don't know where else to go.

When the lanterns come on, Pingchunfang is the busiest time of the day.Today, there was a lot of delay due to the investigation of the Jinzhan Pavilion, but the doors were all opened.

Guan Lan only knew how to get out of Pingchunfang, now that she left the inn, she wanted to find another place to stay, so she wandered around in Pingchunfang again.He has good hearing, and the music of silk and bamboo on the main street gradually picked up, so he looked for it.

The store is open, but there are few pedestrians on the street, most of them are outsiders who dress and behave differently from Lijiang.Presumably the locals were afraid of Jinzhan Pavilion's recent actions, so they couldn't leave behind closed doors.

In this way, although the shops with bigger doors are still a little lively, other places are ridiculed and there are no people.Only the tortoise slave in silk clothes waited boredly at the door, just waiting to see if he could meet a guest.

Guan Lan followed the alley into the main road, and happened to be seen by this person.

Guan Lan, who practiced martial arts, was very sensitive to people's gaze. When he sensed that someone was looking at him, he instinctively looked back.

The tortoise slave was just soliciting customers on the street aimlessly, and he just glanced at Guan Lan before he looked back.When I met that face, I was instantly terrified. I leaned over and greeted flatteringly: "Hey, this gentleman has a good face. I don't know where I'm going? Can I show you the way?"

As soon as he leaned over, the smell of the powder mixed with the wine on his body also came over, Guan Lan instinctively took a step back and ignored him.

The man had already looked at Guan Lantong's entire body in just a short while.

A worthless cloth robe and cloth shoes were badly worn and did not fit properly.It seems that it has been worn for many years, and the family is afraid that it is not good.

He looked at Guan Lan's face carefully again, he was not too young, but his appearance was really compelling and beautiful.If the people on the Lijiang River side have no reason to have not heard of it at this age, they may have come from outside together with the recent foreigners on the Lijiang River.

He had a plan in his mind, and his smile became a little more sincere: "Mr., this Lijiang alleyway is complicated, but I lost my direction for a while? Why don't you come into the shop with me? Have a glass of water and wine, and I will draw a map for you. Come, don't delay your husband's journey."

Guan Lan looked at him up and down, and found that this man's style was completely different from Yu Sha's. He stared at him very vigilantly and said, "I have the map, so you don't have to be polite."

It was confirmed that he was from another place, and the man smiled even deeper, "Hey! The water and wine here is a must. Pavilion Master Yu often praised it before he was alive. It would be a pity if he didn't drink it!"

This is a set of words specially spoken to foreigners. The most famous place in Lijiang River is Jinzhan Pavilion, and the most famous one in Jinzhan Pavilion is Yu Shaomiao.So those who make a living by skin and flesh always use his cover to bluff people, which is somewhat useful.

For example, at this moment, Guan Lan's pupils were slightly startled: "Do you recognize Yu Shaomiao?"

The turtle slave smiled and said: "Of course, our drunkenness is no worse than that of the daughter Hong of Peony Academy, and Pavilion Master Yu is very familiar with the girls."

Guan Lan pursed her lips.

If it was the day before yesterday, he would definitely not believe it, not to mention that the tortoise made his hands itch just looking at it with a playful smile.But he had met Yu Sha and had gained experience, so he was not sure whether the Lijiang River was really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, so he hesitated.

The man saw this hesitation in his eyes, secretly pleased, and urged a few more words.

Guan Lan thought for a moment, but still refused: "I don't have any money on me, and the valuables have been paid out. Let's forget it."

This didn't hit the tortoise slave's arms, so he smiled more enthusiastically: "This is for the gentleman to drink, it doesn't matter, come in quickly."

Guan Lan thought for a while, thinking about it, anyway, he wanted to inquire about Yu Shaomiao's news, so it didn't hurt to listen.

With that in mind, he went into the house with the turtle slave.

On the other side of the inn, Yu Sha returned to his bed, closing his eyes and going to sleep.But I have been sleeping all day, so I can't sleep at this moment, I can only bake pancakes over and over again, my mind is messed up, full of all kinds of bad thoughts.

He forced himself not to think about it, and closed his eyes to rest. After struggling for a long time, he became dazed for a while and dreamed.

He dreamed that the sun was shining brightly, burning people's skin so painfully.At the gate of the Jinzhan Pavilion, a group of disciples from the Jinzhan Pavilion came out dragging a blood gourd-like figure.

The blood rubbed long, long traces on the ground, dazzlingly red.

The person in the Jinzhan Pavilion threw the person to the ground, and the person's body turned over due to the force, revealing a pale face, and the well-shaped eyes opened, but the inside was empty.

Yu Sha was startled awake.

He sat up in a cold sweat, watching the burning of the oil lamp in the room, it was only two minutes before he fell asleep.

It seems that Guan Lan's series of operations yesterday really frightened him, even dreaming.

He has seen a tiger, but never seen a tiger like this.

Yu Sha smacked his mouth, his tongue became bitter, and felt that he was really absurd.

Why is he in a hurry, what is he afraid of?

It's just that someone died for 'Yu Shaomiao', so there's nothing to be surprised about.

Yu Sha really felt that he had been bewitched by an evil spirit, and he wanted to pull himself out to see that he would definitely slap himself several times to wake him up.

To die is to die, there are people who should be sad to be sad, anyway, what kind of thing is Yusha.

But he couldn't sleep, so Yu Sha simply changed his clothes and went downstairs to find Xun Er.

Xun Er was still sitting in the hall, holding some work in his hand.Seeing him coming, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then lowered his head and went to work again.

After receiving such a glance from her, Yu Sha didn't dare to say a lot of things, and sat down beside her resentfully.

Seeing his attitude on Xun Er, he was finally willing to talk to him, and said, "It's not been half an hour, do you regret it?"

Yu Sha's mouth was stiff: "No."

Xun Er: "Hmph, I don't know you yet? You just regret it, and you're too embarrassed to say so, so you came here to find me to pass you the steps."

Being hit by her words, Yu Sha felt a little ashamed and annoyed again, but still stubbornly refused to speak.

Really ashamed.

Xun Er taught him a lesson: "Brother, can't you say something soft because you are soft-hearted? Opening your mouth is just a chance encounter. Knowing that the brother of the Guan family cares so much about this matter, you still keep your mouth shut when a person dies. Angry with you."

Yu Sha knew that he was at fault for this matter, but he didn't feel that it was all his fault, and argued: "You have seen him like that, obviously he came here for the secret letter, but he didn't think about it at all! Besides, I have rescued everyone, how can I still drive him out?"

Xun Er mercilessly exposed him: "It sounds like you are doing it for his own good. Originally, what to do, what to help, is what each wants. If you want to track down the secret letter, it's okay. He insists on giving it to him. Isn't Yu Shaomiao going to die? Why is it that you, brother, are acting like you're in a hurry to help others and feel awkward?"

Yu Sha was discouraged by the words, and tried his best: "Then can I help him find out if Yu Shaomiao is dead or not?"

Xun Er snorted.

Yu Sha stopped talking.

Both he and Xun Er knew very well whether Yu Shaomiao was dead or not, and where he was now.

"If you had a showdown with him in the first place, why would you be so embarrassed now? I don't know what you're struggling with." Xun Er sarcastically sarcastically.

"They're all dead, so what are you talking about?" Yu Sha told the truth anyway, "Besides, I don't even remember, maybe he identified the wrong person. Who knows if the person wearing Yu Shaomiao's skin is me or Yu Shaomiao?" Wangling."

Xun Er was expressionless: "Then you have to lift the curtain and see the real chapter to find out. Brother, you can't go back to the past, and you can't blame others if you want to bind yourself in a cocoon."

After hearing Xun Er's words, Yu Sha sat in the courtyard in silence for a while, and then heaved a long sigh.

He didn't talk any more, just stood up, went to the kitchen to get the Han pot of medicine that had been picked up yesterday and hadn't been brought to my mother yet.
