Half an hour later, Shen Yi, Ruying, and Ruhui came back after looking for someone. As soon as Shen Yifang entered the tent, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all. Under Yi Qingchen's curious eyes, he talked about the missing person After passing by, "the person was found, and he was found in the woods. Fortunately, the old lady's legs and feet are not flexible, otherwise she should have walked back to the village. When I found her, she still refused to come back. What did you say?" Her grandson is crying, she is going to accompany her grandson, and now she is crying with her son and daughter-in-law, what a crime!"

Yi Qingchen didn't say much, but after Shen Yi finished speaking, she handed the glutinous rice cake to her. Shen Yi was very happy when she saw the cake, "Master, did you keep it for me specially? I just happen to be a little hungry right now. ..." Before Yi Qingchen could make a sound to stop him, he had bitten down.

As soon as Fang entered, Shen Yi frowned, spat out all the cakes, wiped his mouth and clothes and said sadly, "My lord, do you want to harm me?"

Yi Qingchen felt aggrieved in secret, and told the three of them exactly what the disciple on guard said. After hearing this, Shen Yi fell into deep thought, "It's colorless and tasteless. Not everyone can make this kind of medicine. I'm afraid it's true. Nei Ying delivered the medicine to the old lady..." He wanted to get up and go to the old lady to ask about the matter, but Yi Qingchen did not stop him, and followed behind on crutches.

The group of four soon arrived at the old lady's tent, and before they entered, the old lady's cry came out, "My poor grandson said he was cold, I have to find him quickly, he You are so small, how can you stand the cold! Quan'er, go and fetch my fabric, I want to sew a warm clothes for my poor grandson..."

The four people outside the tent just listened like this, but they didn't go in for a long time. Shen Yi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Putting on a hand, she thought it was Yi Qingchen, she turned her head away, trying to force a smile with him, but suddenly the owner of this hand was Ruying.

Ruying didn't even look at her, she just stared at the tent and said, "It's not your fault, at the Food Marrow Sect, don't delay the time for the two of them to meet again, go in."

Shen Yi thought for a moment, then nodded firmly, "You are right." Then she opened the curtain and walked in.

There was a lot of anxiety in the tent. When Shen Yi entered the room, the old lady was sitting on the main seat and wiping her tears with a handkerchief. A girl handed her needles and threads, and three or five people surrounded the old lady and cried together. Looking at her poor child who died in vain, the more she talked, the more sad she became, and Shen Yi didn't even notice when she entered the room.

Shen Yi was ignored by everyone, but she didn't panic, she just picked an empty seat a little closer to the old lady, and quietly waited for the old lady to finish crying.

After all, the old lady didn't mean to make things difficult for Shen Yi, she only cried for a while, seeing that Shen Yi was still sitting by the side like a free person, she knew she couldn't go away crying, "Miss Chen Yi... "He even called Shen Yi, "Do you think my grandson is really dead?"

Considering Yi Qingchen's previous advice: the villagers try to speak as a representative of Lingshan, and don't mix personal feelings.

In this way, Shen Yi didn't dare to speak nonsense, and only thought for a moment, thinking, "If the person is still alive, I will do my best to save him, but what is the current situation in the village, I think you are like a mirror in your heart, you don't have to. I can't describe it any more. I came to look for you today, but I just wanted to ask who gave you the medicine in the glutinous rice cake?"

Seeing that the old lady refused to answer for a long time, Shen Yi added another insult, "The person who gave the medicine is most likely the murderer who killed the village and your grandson, so you still have to cover it up like this." him?"

When mentioning her grandson, the old lady was very moved. She thought about it for a long time, but in the end she could only shake her head and say to Shen Yi, "My grandson gave me this medicine!"

According to the old lady's opinion, since she came to the camp, she often couldn't sleep well because of her longing for her grandson, and she often sat by the bed alone, holding her grandson's clothes and sighing all night.Last night she did the same as usual, the difference was that after she called her grandson by her baby name, a familiar nursery rhyme sounded from outside the camp.

Although the voice was extremely low, the old lady recognized that it was her precious grandson's voice. She was in a hurry, so she didn't think much, just went around the camp and called her grandson in a low voice.

In the stillness of the night, the old lady's call was quickly answered. She followed the guidance of nursery rhymes all the way to the northwest to search, and soon found a thin and small figure in the shadow of the woodpile.

She leaned forward to look, and found that it was really his poor grandson, his skin was strangely pale, his body was covered with water plants, and there were many moths on his body.The old lady wanted to go forward to hug her grandson, but the child took a few steps back stiffly, telling the old lady not to approach her.

The old lady stopped obediently, and he began to talk about his tragic situation, such as being locked in a very dark and small space with some villagers, and being thrown by the bad guys near the Earth Temple, and then the rain began to fall outside. Rain, the water slowly rose up, and the small space was gradually filled with water. Everyone was desperate, but they couldn't open the cover no matter what.

He was very cold and wanted to go home.

The old lady was so heartbroken that she almost fainted, and hurriedly asked her grandson how to pick it up and how to get it.

As the night wind blew, the moths fluttered their wings, and the grandson suddenly groaned in pain. The old lady was worried, but she didn't dare to approach at will.When he came back to his senses, the grandson had already put the pre-prepared drug on the lower firewood pile, and talked to the old lady about how to add the drug to the glutinous rice cake, and how the guards in the northwest corner were weak. message.

The old lady wrote down one by one, and went straight to the kitchen when she turned back.

At this point, the old lady was also a little confused.Shen Yi saw that he couldn't get any more information, so he asked the old lady for the porcelain bottle containing the drug, got up and said goodbye.

Outside the tent, Yi Qingchen, Ruhui, and Ruying were still waiting, seeing Shen Yi coming out, they were all curious, so Shen Yi led them back to his tent, while talking about what the old lady had just said. Saying things.

At first glance, what the old lady said seemed to be flawless, but she was as careful as a cloth, but she still felt something was wrong, "If the child is really a member of the Food Marrow Sect, coax the old lady to go back to the village and kill him." It is also for the purpose of confusing the people in the camp, so as to intensify conflicts with internal and external cooperation. But why did the child come to sing in my ear later? He also lured me to look for the old lady to come back. Isn’t this self-contradictory?”

After being mentioned by Yi Qingchen in such a way, everyone realized the weirdness in it, and everyone began to think about the meaning and purpose of Heiying's actions, but only Ruying was still asking Yi Qingchen, "Why does the young master feel that there is something wrong?" should exist within?"

Yi Qingchen explained truthfully, "Although I don't have much literacy, I still know a little bit about the art of war. Since I came here, I have noticed that the relationship between Lingshan and the villagers seems to be somewhat discordant. This fragile bond is easily broken due to some contradictions." , if I am a member of the Essence Cultist, if I want to break through such a strict defense, unless I have an absolute advantage in military strength, I will definitely not be able to just attack outside."

"So either you can only besiege you and others, forcing you to surrender after running out of ammunition and food, or you can only cooperate with the inside and outside to make it self-defeating by triggering conflicts. The former will definitely take a lot of time to implement, and it is difficult to do without at least a one-month deadline. , so to be on the safe side, you should try both methods.”

It was only then that Ruying looked at Yi Qingchen seriously, "Young master is right, but do you have any other ideas?"

Ruying's tone was not very friendly, which caused Shen Yi to repeatedly elbow him to make him be more polite, but Yi Qingchen didn't hate Ruying like this, after all, he could bear Hua Shenchi's indifferent temper Come here, what is Ruying like this?

So I just pinched my jaw and continued to think, "Also, the reason why I concluded that there will be an internal response is because the guards in the northwest corner are weak. I still know the rules of Lingshan. Heavily punished, if I were the two who stood guard in the northwest at that time, I would solve it on the spot, and I would never go to the toilet, so it is likely that someone came to take over their shift at that time, but they were afraid of hurting that person, so they chose to lie If I don’t say it...it might be because I don’t want to be punished.”

Shen Yi felt that what Yi Qingchen said was reasonable, so she poked Ruying's arm, and told him half-jokingly, "Since you are so fierce, you are also from the execution side, why don't you ask? If they If you refuse to invite them truthfully, you will just beat them until they cry and cry, let’s see if they dare to hide it.” After hearing this, Ruying gave Shen Yi a blank look, “Nonsense.” But she still turned around and headed to the northwest corner obediently. up.

The remaining three people quickly returned to Shen Yi's tent.

Shen Yi lit the lamp, and Yi Qingchen and Ruhui each chose a chair to rest. During this time, Shen Yi and Yi Qingchen were talking, and Ruhui kept silent until Shen Yi noticed the expression on the latter's face. With a look of hesitation and hesitation, he asked aloud, "If so, do you have anything to say?"

Ruhui hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no..." After his eyes made contact with Yi Qingchen, he softened again, "There are still some. Young master, can I ask you some questions?"

Yi Qingchen agreed.

Ruhui thought about it, and opened his mouth to ask Yi Qingchen a very weird question, "You said earlier that the child came to look for you after finding her grandmother, which was inconsistent, so I was wondering if it was true. ...The person who instructed that old lady to go to the village to find someone is not the same person as the one who told you to stop the old lady?" If you know what you said at first glance, it is actually nothing, but Shen Yi After thinking about it several times, I realized the horror in it.

The meaning of Ruhui is obvious, the one who instigated the old lady to die is naturally the food marrow, and the one who will save the old lady is naturally her precious grandson, but the child is already dead, isn't it?Even if he was still alive, how could such a small child have entered the camp quietly?

Shen Yi has always been afraid of ghosts, so Ruhui broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly found some excuses to explain himself, "Maybe he sneaked in when the Marrow Sect sent the guards in the northwest?" Ruhui had a lot of meaning Staring at Shen Yi intently for a while, "Senior Sister is right, it is indeed possible."

Out of the intention of taking care of Shen Yi, Yi Qingchen didn't continue such a weird topic. Although he agreed with Ruhui's statement in his heart, he couldn't say it. He was afraid of scaring Shen Yi, so he chose a happy one. Some topics, lively and tense because of what happened last night, "Miss Ruhui seems to have a different focus from ordinary people. I heard that although you are a disciple of the Medicine Sect, you prefer Yanshu?"

When I mentioned this, I felt very helpless, "Yes, I have always admired Yanzong Yanshu, and I have read a lot of books on this topic in private, but who told me that I was adopted by the Medicine School? Although I don't love medicine, But I still have to learn, and it’s really tiring to learn.”

Only then did Yi Qingchen realize that not everyone in the Medicine School loves medicine like flowers and sinking ponds, and there will be many disciples who only regard it as a burden, so he turned around and asked Shen Yi, "Do you like medicine? "

Shen Yi was taken aback by the sudden name call, but when she heard Qing Yi Qingchen's question, she felt a little funny, "It doesn't matter if you like it or not, the children adopted by the Medicine Sect can only study medicine in the end, I don't know." Although she loves to play chess between squares and inches, since she became the second senior sister, she didn't even have time to play a game in the sect. It's not a complaint, but I feel that since people want to get something, they can I must sacrifice something, how can there be such a good thing in the world, so that everything goes smoothly for you? Although I don’t have time to play chess right now, but when my position is settled, I must find time to play with Ruying Put it on a plate."

After hearing this, Yi Qingchen felt relieved, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to rub Shen Yi's head, just like he praised Murong Qian back then, "Although the memory doesn't recover much, I always feel that you are better than ten years ago. It’s grown a lot.”

Shen Yi said proudly, "It's natural, otherwise the position of the second senior sister couldn't have fallen from the sky!"

The scene of the two laughing and laughing was just caught by Ruying who came in through the curtain. He was stunned for a moment, then retreated with his eyes closed, making Shen Yi very inexplicable, "This has happened several times recently, what is wrong with him? gone?"

Yi Qingchen only felt that Ruying was similar to Hua Shenchi in some respects, but he couldn't tell which aspect it was, so he guessed, "Maybe you hate me touching you? It shouldn't be...or is it simple?" hate me?"

Shen Yi accompanied her and echoed, "Maybe it's because you just hate me."

No matter how the two guessed, they could always perfectly avoid the correct answer. Ruhui, who was listening to it, was anxious, but because of Ruying's arrogant temper, she didn't dare to intervene indiscriminately. People's noses hate that iron can't be steel, "You two... are stupid to get together!" After scolding, he left the camp aggressively, not caring about the expressions on the faces of the two behind him.

The two who had been scolded inexplicably looked at each other with puzzled faces.
