Ding Yuehua stared at him blankly, as if his consciousness had been emptied.After a long time, her throat was dry, and she barely heard a hoarse voice, "Really? It was never mine..."

Guan Xu knew how heavy these words were for her, but he didn't want to follow her wishes and say those hypocritical words of comfort. In his opinion, self-deception is the worst thing to do.In fact, no matter how you describe feelings, outsiders cannot understand them deeply.Only those who know it can understand it.Therefore, if you can't figure it out yourself, then no one can do anything about it.His face was still calm, "Miss Ding, there are thousands of things in the world, and there are thousands of choices, but there may not be thousands of endings. For you at this moment, there are only two outcomes, yes, Or you can't be with Zhan Zhao."

Hearing Guan Xu's steady voice, Xu Xiangyang outside the yard felt heavy, sighed slightly, and left quietly.Ding Yuehua seemed to be relieved, and there was some light in his eyes, "It's true for me. I even think that as long as the hearts are connected, even if we can't stay together, it's okay to look at each other from a distance. But now, thinking like this , it seems to be just me."

Guan Xu wiped Bao'er's saliva carefully with a handkerchief, "You are on the same road with him, you should know him better than me. In my opinion, Zhan Zhao is not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old. You think he has changed, but I think he Such a change is reasonable. Who can still indulge in the past? Everyone must live in the present."

Ding Yuehua said quietly: "I thought you wouldn't persuade me, but it turns out, it's all the same."

"I won't persuade you. If you are in such a difficult situation, you will only give up if you hit your head and bleed. If I were you, I would do the same. After all, it will hurt a lot, so why not give it a go?"

Ding Yuehua felt a little embarrassed when he said this, "Brother Guan, why do you say that? It seems like I am a three-year-old child, just to make a scene for my own happiness, so I don't care about it and make a scene. I, I feel uncomfortable, but I don't care about it." It's embarrassing for Brother Zhan. If, if Xu Xiangyang is what he wants, I, I am willing to fulfill them."

Guan Xu shook his head, "Miss Ding, you are wrong again."

"Why is it wrong again?" Ding Yuehua pouted, in front of him, nothing she said was right.Guan Xu saw that she showed the tenderness of a little daughter, and the gloomy expression disappeared from her face, and she felt relieved, "No one can make someone perfect, it's all your own choice. You are still young, you don't have much experience, and many things still need to be done." well."

Ding Yuehua was a little unconvinced when he saw that he was relying on the old to sell the old, "Brother Guan, in your eyes, am I just a little bit older than Bao'er? Listen to your tone, it's like coaxing a child!"

"Isn't it a child?" Guan Xu didn't avoid suspicion, he reached out and rubbed the top of her head, "Which girl is crying in front of me?" He is tall, Ding Yuehua looks small beside him, Covering her head with one hand, it really seemed to comfort a little girl.Isn't it just a little girl?He's older than her by more than one round.

"Brother Guan!"

Guan Xu smiled heartily, if this girl put aside those sad things, she would also have a lovely temperament.

The boxes and corpses brought back from Shangjie Village brought a breakthrough to the case.After being identified by the boy Shuanzi, the box was indeed the one that was stolen.Shuanzi seemed a little excited, and talked about his master's going out this time.His family's master is Cheng Yuan, who runs a small business at home, selling all kinds of miscellaneous goods, and the profit is not high. The advantage is that he has a complete selection and can guarantee a certain amount of income.

"Our family's business is mediocre, and the master has always wanted to go further. When I went out to buy goods this year, I ran into Boss Li, who was in the jewelry business, and the conversation was speculative. That's why I decided to go south with Boss Li to try our luck. Boss Li is a generous man. There are quite a lot of friends, and there are at least seven or eight businessmen who went along the way, and everyone was in high spirits, and went with Boss Li with the mentality of getting rich."

It was the first time for Zhan Zhao and others to hear Shuanzi mention this after the incident. He was seriously injured earlier, so he could only ask important questions.Bai Yutang leaned in front of the window, his tone quite disapproving, "Boss Li is generous, it's really rare that a business that can make a lot of money can make such a chance encounter like Master Cheng."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, his heart moved slightly.Indeed, in the gem business, if you can make a steady profit without being accompanied, why share it with people who have never met before?Shuanzi also looked at Bai Yutang, "I thought the same way at the time. His business is doing well. Why did he invite you to go with us after chatting for a few words? I persuaded the master at the time, but as a servant, I It's no use talking lightly."

"You guys followed, did something happen?" Zhan Zhao felt that this case was not simple, "Besides, you said that there were seven or eight people who went with you, and they all met on the road?"

Shuanzi thought about it, "Boss Li and I used to have a few businessmen around, and some of them were like my master. They met on the road, and they went along with them after chatting speculatively. I have paid attention, and it seems that these people are not Acquaintance, like, like being bewitched by Boss Li to follow."

The word bewitched attracted Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's attention.Shuanzi seemed determined to prove his point, and hurriedly said: "Boss Li said that they have a mine that produces rubies with good quality. He took the purse from his waist on the spot and poured the contents into a white porcelain plate The red gemstones are spread on the plate, and all the people present are staring. I have never seen such a beautiful gemstone, which flows like drops of blood on the plate, and it is indescribably alluring. If such gemstones are made into Jewelry will definitely sell for a lot of money."

Seeing Shuan Zi's expression when he described the gem, Zhan Zhao could almost imagine the coquettishness of Ruby, "Boss Li just let you follow him unconditionally?"

Shuanzi frowned. This is where the suspicion lies. "Boss Li looks like a bold person. What he said inside and outside the meaning is that he can't make money, but he intends to make friends. I think it's strange, but he also He said that if everyone wants to make a fortune, he can show the way and go together. You can’t go to the mine, but the output there is extremely rich, and you can find broken gems even in the river.”

"Later, your group followed, and your master came back with a box of gems?" Bai Yutang felt that there was something strange about it, there was no such thing as pie in the sky, and calling friends was not the way to make friends. "Where is this treasure land? I'll go to Taotao too."

When mentioning this, Shuanzi turned pale, "Speaking of which, that place is a very remote small village, almost in the deep mountains. After trekking over mountains and rivers to get there, we young men were all arranged in one place, and only the head of the family could follow Boss Li. Entered the mining area. I don’t know what the master saw in it. When he came back, he was ecstatic and said he was going to get rich. Then he took out the box and hurried out the door. When he came back, he didn’t want anything else, so he took the box and left overnight. Later... Later we hid from the wind in the village outside for a few days, the master saw that the wind was calm, and wanted to go back there, but he couldn't find the way, and he couldn't find the place after asking around. "

"What's the name of that place?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Not going to the village."

Not going to the village?so weird?It sounded like folk tales.Zhan Zhao saw that Shuanzi was showing signs of fatigue, and said, "Your injury will only improve, and it's better to rest. Let's talk about whether you are going to the village or not. Now, you come with me."

Bai Yutang led the way out of the house, Zhan Zhao left slowly after him, and Shuanzi went out last, accompanied by two yamen servants.Shuan Zi was a little puzzled, Mr. Zhan said he wanted to rest, why did he ask him to go with him?Leaving the guest courtyard, he stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated courtyard.Zhan Zhao turned his head, "We found a body stabbed to death by random knives on the trail outside Shangjie Village, maybe you recognize him."

Shuan Zi felt his feet go soft, and followed Zhan Zhao into the yard with a pale face.

After two or three days, Xu Xiangyang's hand finally took off the bandage.Sister-in-law Wang also broke some grape seedlings for her, and prepared to plant them in the yard.She was still thinking about how to put on airs, but she saw that Zhan Zhao came back in the afternoon.He has been busy investigating cases recently, and he is extremely busy every day. Why did he come back so early today? "Why did you come back at this time? Forgot to bring something?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that his thoughts were off the mark. He was nothing more than taking Juque out. What else could he forget?

"I'm going to Shangjie Village tomorrow, so come back early."

Xu Xiangyang was taken aback, "Is there any progress in the case?"

"Shuanzi's injury has healed a lot, and he said something, and the case has made a breakthrough. Tomorrow, I will take him to Shangjie Village to see if there are any missing clues." As an important witness, Shuanzi participated in the whole incident , It is necessary to let him go to the scene to see the situation.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, she didn't understand the case, so she turned to ask: "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten." Zhan Zhao said and went into the house, "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and help you set up the grape trellis."

Well?How did he know?She never mentioned it to him.After a while, Zhan Zhao changed into casual clothes and came out, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Wang mentioned to me that you want to grow grapes, and today just happens to be free." It's okay, it's not a big deal."

"Grapes are also planted in the yard of my hometown, but they are very sour." Zhan Zhao looked at the open space beside her, thinking about how to build a shelf, "How do you want to build it?"

Xu Xiangyang gestured, "Let's set it up in front of the kitchen. In summer, you can set up a table here and eat under the grape arbor."

Without saying a word, Zhan Zhao lifted up his robe and tucked it around his waist, and began to work.Xu Xiangyang is good at manual work, and he can't do these jobs at all. At most, he can only help deliver something.Zhan Zhao thought that her hands were still not fully healed, so she didn't even let her touch this matter, she could only watch from the sidelines.

Looking at his busy figure, she suddenly felt emotional, it is really necessary to have a man in the family, see, such a thing still needs a man.She had nothing to do, so she could only chat with him, "Does Shuanzi know the deceased?"

"Yes, he is also one of the people who will not go to the village together."

Xu Xiangyang had never heard Zhan Zhao mention whether their group went to the village to find gems, but when Zhan Zhao mentioned this name, she reminded her of a movie she watched before.Can't help but say: "Not going to the village? This name reminds me of a little ghost story I read before."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao became interested. The ghost story she accidentally told helped solve the case last time. What can she tell this time? "Tell me, too."

"That village is called Bulaihexiang Village. It is a mysterious village where the living and the dead coexist. The living miss their dead relatives and gather here. They use straw to pierce the missing person, and after a certain ceremony, they endow the scarecrow with life. They stayed in the village with nostalgia in their hearts like this. Later, a girl entered the village to find her childhood sweetheart. After suffering and struggling, she finally burned the village and returned to the world.”

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, he didn't like this story, "It sounds depressing."

Xu Xiangyang nodded, "After I read it, I thought about it for a long time and thought differently, and I didn't understand the meaning. It was not until a long time later that I recalled the girl in the story who went to the village to find her childhood sweetheart, and finally left resolutely to return to the world. Gradually understand.” Some things are hard to let go, hard to forget, but only by making up your mind can you be reborn from the ashes.

Zhan Zhao smiled, "What you're looking at is really special."

She regained her senses and shook her head, "It's just miscellaneous books. When I heard you mentioned whether to go to the village, I thought of this village of not going to the other side. It seems that there are similarities in the same way."

"There are indeed some similarities." Zhan Zhao closed the topic, "Okay, do you think this shelf is okay?"

Xu Xiangyang turned around twice, and frowned, "Master Zhan, he is proficient in all eighteen martial arts."

Zhan Zhao smiled, at this moment, he actually felt that the years were peaceful.
