Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

After persuading Li Chengsi, several people finally embarked on the road to the grave village. Zheng Butou rode a horse to lead, and then Li Chengsi and Ye Hong also followed each other, followed by Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Yan Bei each rode one.Zheng Butou didn't say a word along the way, while Li Chengsi was worried about Ye Hong's condition and babbled endlessly. Yan Bei followed for a while, and finally couldn't help but rode beside Zhan Zhao and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Master Cat, you have been hiding your identity all the way before, but why did you declare your identity just now?"

Zhan Zhao stared ahead, and slowly replied: "They already know our identities, and the way to deal with them must also be aimed at us not revealing our identities, so it must be a constraint for us, so why don't we tell them directly Who are we, not only can disrupt their position, but also use power to seek things, so why not do it."

Yan Bei nodded and said, "That makes sense!"

Then he slipped to Bai Yutang's side again, admiringly said: "Young Master, Young Master, Master Little Cat is really amazing!"

Bai Yutang laughed and said, "There are so many things that Mao'er is good at, and now it's just the beginning."

Yan Bei looked expectant for an instant, and Zhan Zhao helped his forehead in some helplessness.

The mountain road to the grave village is difficult, with many twists and turns. They walked for a long time and finally approached the village. Li Chengsi pointed to the front and explained: "The grave village is in the shadow of Mengpan Mountain, and it is near the mouth of the Luozi River. We are already close to the destination where it meets the Luojiang River, but to reach their village, we still have to pass through a large cemetery, and the road is very rough during the rainy season, so please be patient."

Zhan Zhao said: "It's okay, if it doesn't work, we can just get off the horse and walk."

"The road is muddy. I'm afraid you'll be splashed with mud when you get off the horse. Let's walk a little slower." Then he looked at Ye Hong's horse and said worriedly, "Ah Hong, you're still unhealed, so you'd better get on my horse." The horse rides with me, at least it can save a little effort."

Ye Hong was concentrating on riding his own horse on the road. Hearing this, he looked up at Li Chengsi, shook his head and said, "It's all right. Don't worry, Mr. Li. I will never hold back."

Li Chengsi frowned and said: "Ah Hong, I didn't mean that, originally you escaped from death, you should stay in the yamen to rest, but you insisted on coming with us, I...I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it! Well, since you refuse to get on my horse, that's the only way..."

After saying that, he got off his horse suddenly, grabbed the rein and came to Ye Hong's horse, then rolled over on Ye Hong's horse one by one, and then took advantage of Ye Hong's rein to urge the horse forward. A series of movements were so fast that Ye Hong Before he could even react, he was already surrounded by Li Chengsi in his arms.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Yan Bei and the three who had been following behind them were stunned by this sudden movement, and the three looked at each other, tacit understanding without saying a word.

Li Chengsi didn't care what other people thought of him, he urged the horse and said, "Also, don't call me Master Li, can you call me the same as before?"

Ye Hong said in embarrassment: "This... please give me some time to adapt..."

Li Chengsi sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are by my side, I am already very satisfied."

Ye Hong coughed twice, and after a while, he suddenly couldn't help asking: "Master Li, what is the relationship between us in the past?"

"...Naturally a good confidant, a good brother."

"Oh, are you married, my lord?"

"Not married."

"Then... am I married?"

"No, why do you have such a question?"

Ye Hong wiped his sweat: "It's nothing, just a little flustered all of a sudden..."

While talking, they had arrived at the tombs that Li Chengsi mentioned. Although these tombs were a bit messy, the handwriting on many old tombstones was still clearly visible, and the tributes were also neat and tidy. It could be seen that someone often came to take care of them.

Zhan Zhao looked at the tombstone, showing a perplexed look. Bai Yutang saw him and asked softly, "What's wrong, cat, is there something wrong?"

"It's a bit strange. The tombstones here belong to the elders."

Bai Yutang said: "Why is this so strange that you care so much?"

"In ordinary cemeteries, the most common ones are the juniors erecting monuments to the elders, but there are also some incidents where white-haired people send black-haired people. The elders will erect monuments for the younger generation. This is the cemetery of the grave village, but you see, the people lying in it They are all elders, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Hearing this, Bai Yutang glanced at the cemetery again, and saw that the tombstones were indeed erected by sons for their parents, or by grandsons for their ancestors, without exception.

"It's a bit strange, but what does this mean?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head: "I haven't figured it out yet, let's go to the village and see."

Passing through the cemetery, I saw the entrance of the cemetery village in a short while. I saw a child with a yellow mouth playing with a windmill at the entrance of the village. When he saw them riding a horse, he immediately jumped up and ran towards the village, shouting as he ran: "Here comes the guest, here comes the guest!"

As soon as the child yelled, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, but all of them were gray-haired old people, only occasionally a few old people brought children, and none of the young and middle-aged people saw them.

"Come on, let's go, let's go." An old man squeezed out from the crowd, and ran towards them at a trot. Although it was only a few steps away, the old man was panting heavily.

The leader Zheng Butou saw him, got off his horse and asked the old man, "Master Liu, where is your village chief?"

It turned out that the person who came was the sixth child of Grave Village. Seeing Catcher Zheng's inquiry, he replied calmly: "The village chief is here, I'm here, I'll take you to find him! Ah, Master Li, Catcher Zheng, What's the matter looking for us this time, didn't we explain everything we could tell you last time! Also, we really can't find Master Ye!"

Zheng Butou pointed behind him: "You don't need to look for Master Ye, we have already found someone else."

Hearing this, the sixth child squinted his eyes at the man on the horse behind Zheng Butou, and said in surprise, "Ah, it's really Master Ye, Master Ye, you are lucky, and you can fall off such a high cliff without any problems." Thing, it’s really... ah, how should I put it, if there is something inauspicious, you are a blessed person!"

Li Chengsi carefully helped Ye Hong get off the horse, for fear that he would bump into him again, and when Ye Hong landed completely and safely, he turned around and said to Lao Liu, "Thank you, Master Liu, for your help during this time. Fortunately, Master Ye The Taji people have their own way of life, and now everything is fine, but there are so many strange things in the village, we still have to continue to investigate."

The old six said: "Okay, Mr. Li, you just investigate the case, we will cooperate, cooperate! Ah, by the way, are the three behind you looking at each other, are they also official masters?"

Li Chengsi nodded and said: "Yes, the yamen is short of manpower, and we have recruited a few new talents."

Lao Liu smiled and said, "Oh, he looks so handsome. Come on, follow me into the village first."

After they got off their horses one after another, they followed Lao Liu into the village. Zhan Zhao followed at the end, and saw the old women and old men in the village staring at them nervously. The child shook the sleeves of the old woman beside him, and said with a smile: "Grandma, it's agreed, I'll give Xiao Shanzi some delicious food later!"

The old woman "hush" at the child, and said softly, "Don't let them hear it, I'll cook it for you when grandma gets back."

Zhan Zhao pretended not to hear, and continued to walk ahead. Not far away, he came to a very simple courtyard, and saw the sixth son shouting loudly: "Old Wei, old Wei, open the door quickly, the county There are people here again!"

There was no response, and Lao Liu started to knock on the door again, shouting while patting, and finally someone answered after a while, and then an old man in a coat came out and opened the door, only opened a mouth, and Lao Liu pushed the door directly He said: "You old Wei is dawdling, I will say that you are old and useless, let the officials and gentlemen wait for a meal, and you will eat the board!"

The person who opened the door was Wei Huxiang, the head of the grave village. He took a look at Lao Liu, put on his clothes hastily, and saluted Li Chengsi: "Master Li, Zheng Butou, the old man has hard ears, let you stay for a while." I'm really sorry for waiting."

Li Chengsi said: "It's okay, it's okay, we disturbed the village chief."

The sixth child didn't wait for Wei Huxiang to speak, so he rushed to say: "Old Wei, look, who's behind your lord! It's Master Ye, Master Ye, he is very lucky and not dead!"

Hearing the words, Wei Huxiang looked behind Li Chengsi and saw the thin Ye Hong standing there. He was also surprised: "Master Ye! Are you really okay? You fell off the cliff at that time, we all thought you would not survive, no I thought about it, I didn't think about it... Is it really a blessing? From now on, you will be able to turn bad luck into good luck, and you will have good fortune if you survive a catastrophe!"

The sixth child continued: "Yes, that's right, we just wanted to say that disasters are turned into good luck!"

Ye Hong cupped his hands and said, "I heard from Mr. Li that the village head and the big guys have worked so hard to find me. Mr. Ye thanked me here."

Wei Huxiang said: "We didn't do anything to help, we didn't dare to take it seriously...Then why did your lord come here this time?"

"We want to see your son Wei Quan again." Li Chengsi said, "Is he recovering well recently?"

"Thank you for your concern. The dog has gotten better recently. Your lord has come just in time. Help me persuade him to eat something. I have tried everything I can think of, the old man. The idiot has a stubborn temper and just refuses to eat. I have He was so strong that he had to pour some rice soup... oh..."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Wei Huxiang hastily made way for a few people to come in, seeing Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Yan Bei following behind, he asked, "These officials are new faces!"

Before Li Chengsi could speak, the sixth child said first, "It's Mr. Li's new subordinate, so handsome!"

Wei Huxiang didn't think too much, and hurriedly invited a few of them into the house.Everyone followed him to the East Wing. The old man knocked lightly on the door first, then pushed the door open and entered, and said to the bed: "Son, the county master is here to see you again!"
