The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

She made an appointment with Lin Aoxue to see the lanterns together on the second day. Yunyan didn't stay at the inn for a long time. Before leaving, she also told Lin Aoxue to ask the second inn to tidy up the house for her and replace the cold and hard bedding.

Lin Aoxue agreed and sent Yunyan out of the inn.

When she came out of the inn, she found that there were lanterns hanging all over the street, and the lanterns on the eaves of the shop's eaves had also changed colors, red and yellow, beautiful and full of a strong Lantern Festival atmosphere. Yunyan raised her eyes, looked at her with a smile, and said warmly:

"Just walk around?"

Lin Aoxue did not refuse, she followed Yunyan, slowly pacing along the street, and continued to walk with Yunyan on the road that she had not been able to walk a few days ago. Looking at the colorful lanterns on both sides of the street, Lin Aoxue thought deeply.

Before she knew it, she sent Yunyan to the outside of the house, until Yunyan waved at her, then pushed the door and walked in, Lin Aoxue came back to her senses.

She glanced at the courtyard gate that was just closed not far away. On the way back to the inn, she bought some dried bamboo and colored paper from the shop beside the inn. After returning to the inn, she sat down on the stone steps in the inner courtyard of the inn with her belongings. , began to make lanterns.

The injury on her right hand has been recovering for more than ten days, and it has been healed. The arm of her right arm is also scabbed. She split the dried bamboo into thin and thin bamboo strips, which are used to set up light stands. , she finally spread the colored paper on the skeleton, and it looked like a present.

After making two lanterns in a row, it was late at night. Lin Aoxue carried the lantern and got into the guest room, put the lantern on the table, and then asked Xiao Er to get some water, washed briefly, and then lay down on the bed. Looking up, it was rare that he didn't dream of anything related to the past, and he slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, Lin Aoxue got up early, took two lanterns in her hands, went to the market to buy some steamed cakes for breakfast, and went to Yunyan's house as scheduled.

Yunyan opened the door and saw Lin Aoxue standing outside the door, holding steamed cakes in one hand and two lanterns in the other, she was very surprised, she took the lanterns from Lin Aoxue's hand, looked over carefully, and said in surprise:

"Did you do this yourself?"

She had seen Lin Aoxue's ability to make things with her hands before, and seeing that this lantern was very different from those sold outside, she couldn't help but guess. Lin Aoxue didn't feel anything when she came, but when Yunyan asked at this time, she was shy and twisted, and nodded expressionlessly:

"Um."

Seeing her like this again, Yunyan gave her a helpless look, then pulled her into the room with a smile, went to the kitchen to get a plate, put the still hot steamed cake on the plate, and ate with Lin Aoxue.

The lanterns only look good at night. They took a short break after using the steamed cake before going out. Yunyan took Lin Aoxue to the famous Zhanyang Lake in Beijing. The lake is very wide. Even in winter, the lake is not frozen. A lot of beautiful people go boating on the lake.

There are also a lot of lanterns and stalls on the shore of the lake, and it will be even more lively at night.

Lin Aoxue and the two came to the lake with lanterns, and also rented a cruise boat and sailed on the lake. At a glance, the water was open and the clouds were wide, and the willows on the bank had not yet sprout, showing a bit of desolation. The fish in the lower reaches of the water are looming, and the breeze is cold and cool, blowing on the face, but it is refreshing.

Yun Yan carried a guqin and sat outside the cabin, turned her head and asked Lin Aoxue with a smile:

"Aoxue, what do you want to hear?"

Lin Aoxue blinked, thought for a while, and said:

"Today, since we are going to see the lake, why not ask Yan'er to play a qin song related to the lake."

Yun Yan laughed lightly, and decided on her own what tune to play. With the slightest movement of her verdant fingers, the sound of the violin tinkled like flowing water, spreading out on the lake, attracting tourists from the cruise boats on the side of the lake. With many eyes on the shore of the lake.

Lin Aoxue looked at Yunyan's side face when she was playing the piano seriously, the soft and warm music of the piano rippled in her heart, making her feel dazed for a while. With a movement of her throat, she suddenly took a pen and paper from the boat, and began to draw with the gesture of a cloud and smoke playing the piano.

The cloud and smoke ended, and after a moment of silence, there were warm applause from both sides of the cruise ship. Lin Aoxue was awakened by the sudden applause. Looking around, he saw that the cruise ships that were still far away were all approaching. Jing's son and young lady all looked at Yunyan.

On the right side of the boat stood a young man in white, with a face as white as jade and a graceful demeanor. He held a folding fan in his hand, clasped his fists towards Yunyan in the distance, and asked:

"The beauty on the lake is the Yunyan girl from Yanyulou?"

Yun Yan raised her eyes, her eyes swept across this person's face, and she didn't feel familiar. Yunyan has a very good memory, and almost everyone who has met him will have some impression. Even if he has been to Yanyu Tower, he is not a very important person. Mostly, he is the scholar downstairs who tried his best to meet couplets.

Thinking of this, Yunyan gave the other party a generous and decent smile:

"If there is only one Yunyan in Yanyulou, it must be a little girl."

The white-robed young man's eyes lit up obviously, and a flash of joy flashed across his face. He wrote urgency on his face, but pretended to flick his sleeves indifferently, and pretended to say:

"It is a rare fate to meet Miss Yunyan at Zhanyang Lake. I don't know if today's Lantern Festival is going to be the Lantern Festival, can I be honored to invite Miss Yunyan to enjoy the scenery of Zhanyang lanterns together?"

He directly regarded Lin Aoxue behind Yunyan as a servant who followed Yunyan on a trip, and he had no intention of scrutinizing Lin Aoxue at all. And after Brother Gongzi said this, people on the other cruise ships on both sides looked over, presumably wanting to hear Yunyan's answer.

Yun Yan's eyes moved, and she glanced back at Lin Aoxue, but saw Lin Aoxue's cold face and did not speak. Although she did not show dissatisfaction, the hand holding the pen stopped and did not continue.

The corners of Yunyan's lips lifted, a smile on his face, and he turned his eyes and said to the young master:

"The little girl is fortunate to be loved by the son, but unfortunately today, Yunyan has already made an appointment, and I think she can't go to the son's appointment."

When these words fell, the young man in white had a clear sense of loss on his face, but he still tried to maintain his demeanor and said with a smile:

"Since Miss Yunyan has made arrangements, it is difficult for her to force others."

After he finished speaking, maybe he felt that being rejected by the beautiful woman would be a hindrance, so he stopped staying outside the boat for a long time, returned to the cabin, and asked the boatman to row the boat farther away. And the people on the other cruise ships around them also retreated, and the people around Yunyan dispersed.

Lin Aoxue put the pen down, raised her eyes to look at Yun Yan, there was no change in her face, but she did not speak.

Seeing that she was holding a painting in her hand, Yunyan got up and walked over. She turned her body to see what Lin Aoxue had just painted. Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, Lin Aoxue closed the painting, and the expression on her face did not change. Yun Yan could clearly feel her nervousness.

Seeing this, Yunyan burst into laughter, and pulled Lin Aoxue's arm, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, and said softly:

"What did you just draw, show me?"

Lin Aoxue's heart trembled, and her body froze when Yunyan's extremely soft tone made her whole body stiff. She pursed her lips, her eyes were a little erratic, Yunyan saw that she was distracted, and she simply stretched out her hand and took the painting over.

"!!!"

Lin Aoxue's eyes widened in shock. She tried to grab it back with a backhand, but Yunyan pointed at her eyebrows, and her other hand holding the painting was behind her back. She leaned closer with a smile, and said to Lin Aoxue:

"Sit down, if you dare to grab it, I won't watch the lanterns with you today."

Lin Aoxue's eyes widened, her mouth was wide open, she could almost put an egg in it, she stared at Yunyan blankly, and was very unconvinced:

"It was you who said yesterday that you wanted to see the lanterns!"

She started to get serious. Yunyan invited her, and now she wants to go back on it, what is the reason?

Yun Yan heard the words, but giggled, she nodded Lin Aoxue's eyebrows, and said cheerfully:

"Well, I said it first, and then do you listen?"

Lin Aoxue calmed down and kept her mouth shut.

Seeing that Lin Aoxue was finally being honest, Yunyan's eyes seemed to be sparkling, like the water in Zhanyang Lake, gentle and clear, as if it had the power to penetrate people's hearts.

She unfolded the painting in front of Lin Aoxue. In the painting, there was a woman sitting still and playing the piano. The brushstrokes were a little rough and looked a little unfamiliar, but this painting was done with great care and the shape was a little off, but it made the person playing the piano soft and gentle. Temperament outlines seven points.

When this painting entered his eyes, a fluffy spring water spread like ripples in Yunyan's pupils. Lin Aoxue froze and sat with his back straight, lest he would see a disappointed look on Yunyan's face.

She hadn't touched calligraphy and painting for a long time. When she was practicing in the temple, when she was in a turbulent mood, she mostly used qin music to meditate, so her qin skills were preserved by her. This painting, but it really owes some heat, it is no longer what she is good at.

But what surprised her was that the smile on Yunyan's face was sincere and cheerful. Her eyes were bright and bright, and she was happier than the famous masterpiece nearby. She showed the painting in her hand, turned to look at Lin Aoxue, and asked:

"Who are you drawing?"

Lin Aoxue almost wanted to jump directly into Zhanyang Lake to calm down. She opened her eyes wide and saw the smile in Yunyan's eyes. Her throat moved slightly, she gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"Just draw it."

Yun Yan did not let her go easily this time, she hugged the painting and leaned over, sat down beside Lin Aoxue, leaned gently on her shoulder, and asked again:

"Then, you draw it casually, who is it?"

Lin Aoxue's face was tense, her ears had already turned red, and in Yun Yan's eyes full of smiles, Lin Aoxue was finally defeated.

"It's you who drew it."

She spoke in a low voice, but Yun Yan could hear it clearly, she laughed, then leaned on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, lifted the painting, and looked at it carefully again. Lin Aoxue glanced at the person in the painting, she was so ashamed that she was ashamed, she just tilted her head and pretended that she couldn't see.

"Aoxue, can you give me this painting?"

The smile in Yun Yan's eyes seemed to be able to flow out. She leaned on Lin Aoxue's shoulder and felt Lin Aoxue's stiffness and tension, but she felt extra peaceful in her heart. It would be great if I could always be with this person like this.

Lin Aoxue didn't look back, but her brows and eyes drooped down. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes. She looked at the waves on the lake.

Yun Yan happily put away the painting, but did not stand up, just leaned side by side with Lin Aoxue, enjoying the lake view together.

The boatman glanced at them and secretly thought that these two young masters and young ladies had such a good relationship.

In the center of the lake, there are several lotus plants that have bloomed and failed. The bare branches are floating on the water, and the lotus leaves are also scorched yellow. While holding the pole, the boatman looked up at the center of the lake and sighed with emotion:

"Winter, there's nothing to see, if you come here in summer, the lotus leaves will meet the sky, and the lake will be full of red lotuses, then it will be beautiful!"

Lin Aoxue was attracted by the content of the boatman's words. She turned her head to look at the decadent lotus leaves and broken branches, and asked suspiciously:

"What is blooming in this lake is a red lotus?"

The boatman smiled and said:

"Yeah, in summer, not only are the red lotuses in this lake beautiful, do you see the small building opposite?"

Lin Aoxue looked in the direction of the boatman's finger, and saw several small buildings established on the other side of the lake, one of which was particularly majestic.

Yun Yan took the call at this time, her eyes also fell on the tall building, and said:

"That should be the best attic built in Beijing in the past two years. I remember it's called Jinquelou."

Hearing this, the boatman smiled even more:

"Yeah, it's the Golden Bird Tower! When the red lotus flowers are open in summer, the golden light flickers on the four eaves of the Golden Bird Tower, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the back, and there are red lotuses like the sea below. It looks like a pagoda in a fairyland. "

While talking, the boatman shook his head and sighed, lamenting that it was a pity that he had no chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

But Lin Aoxue, who heard the boatman's words, had a flash of light in her eyes. She stared blankly at the Jinque Tower standing on the shore of the lake in the distance. The poem Sui Ming recited in her ear echoed in her mind. Get up: The golden sun floats and the clouds disperse, and the red lotus blooms one after another.

A touch of enlightenment jumped to the tip of her heart, making her feel suddenly enlightened.

Jinyang must be the Jinque Tower of Zhanyang Lake. The floating clouds are scattered, and it is the roof of the building. You can see the place where the floating clouds are scattered. The red lotus blooms one by one.

This summer, the Jinque Building in Zhanyang Lake.

This is the hidden message in the poem Sui Ming told Lin Aoxue, but as for what was said in this sentence, what was going to happen on the Golden Sparrow Tower, was an appointment to meet someone, or something else, Lin Aoxue would Can't get into it.

She closed her eyes slightly. This summer, she should be at the northern border, and most likely will not return to the capital. I wonder if there is still a chance to unlock the secret buried in the key.

Lin Aoxue did not continue to ask about the Jinquelou information. Since she already understood the meaning of the poem, she temporarily suppressed the matter, and waited until the time was ripe to find out.

It was getting late, and the boat's boat docked. Lin Aoxue and Yunyan got off the boat together. Yunyan carried a painting by Lin Aoxue in her arms, and a lantern made by Lin Aoxue in her hand. She always had a smile on her face, walking on the road, constantly walking. Some pedestrians turned back and stopped in amazement.

But her mind was not on the passers-by, she turned her head and chatted happily with Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue always straightened her back involuntarily because there were too many people looking at her, but Yunyan kept laughing at her old-fashioned, and she didn't argue.

There were many people coming and going on the street. Lin Aoxue and Yunyan joined hands to go to the temple fair held by Zhanyang Lake. Yunyan took a mask with red patterns on a white background from the rows of delicate masks, put it on her face, and smiled at Lin Aoxue. :

"That way, they won't recognize me."

The corner of Lin Aoxue's mouth revealed a smile involuntarily, and saw that Yunyan took another mask with red stripes on a black background and put it on Lin Aoxue's face:

"You also change your mask today, okay?"

The two masks, black and white, are exactly a pair.

The divine light in Lin Aoxue's eyes softened, as if after Yunyan put on the mask, Lin Aoxue was less nervous. She took the black mask from Yunyan calmly, and took off the half of the mask on her face without hesitation.

She didn't care about the eyes of others, and she was no longer afraid that the person in front of her would show a panicked look because of the burn on that half of her face.

Because her face has long been known to Yunyan, she doesn't feel so embarrassed anymore.

Lin Aoxue put the black mask on her face, two pairs of eyes were exposed from behind the mask, and they touched each other gently and tacitly. The situation, to vent the feelings that are constantly clamoring in the heart.

They are all wearing masks, no one can recognize them, and no one will intervene. Yunyan runs and jumps in front of the lantern, as if he is ten years younger and becomes a child who does not understand anything, doing the best. Innocent joy.

Lin Aoxue followed behind her, and what was covered under the mask was a smile so gentle that it could be melted away.

They walked from the street to the end of the street one after the other, and they didn't deliberately buy anything. They all enjoyed such a tacit happy time with each other.

Yunyan took Lin Aoxue to guess the lantern riddles. Those lantern riddles were too easy for Lin Aoxue and Yunyan to guess. Lin Aoxue and the other two undoubtedly won the top prize.

The quality of this jade pendant is not good, but the workmanship is rare and exquisite, and the flaws do not hide the beauty. Lin Aoxue held the two pieces of jade pendant that could be combined in her hands, feeling a little helpless.

Yun Yan took it generously, and tied one of the pieces around Lin Aoxue's waist, while the other was tucked into her arms. She smiled cheerfully, and raised her hand to shake her wrist. The right knot:

"What does it matter, we call it sister jade pendant."

Seeing that Yunyan didn't care at all, Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief. But she quickly put away the fleeting loss, and she was more happy and joyful.

After getting the top prize of the lantern riddle banquet, Yunyan took Lin Aoxue to the lake again. She lit the lantern and carefully put it into the lake. When the lantern gradually drifted away, Yunyan suddenly closed her eyes and made a wish.

Lin Aoxue was curious and asked her:

"What did you wish for?"

Yun Yan smiled and shook his head without saying a word. Lin Aoxue asked again, and Yunyan said:

"It won't work if you say it."

Lin Aoxue saw that Yunyan was determined not to talk to her, and finally chose to give up. She also lit the lantern in her hand and put it into the water. When the lantern drifted away, she also closed her eyes and said silently in her heart:

May Yan'er live in peace and worry-free.

Yunyan also came over and asked her:

"What did you wish for?"

Lin Aoxue had a rare laugh, and answered cheerfully:

"Let the high-ranking official Hou Lu Fei Huang Tengda!"

Yunyan also had a smile in her eyes, giggling to her:

"You should also promise a family with great wealth and unparalleled longevity!"

The two laughed and chased me by the lake. Yunyan was wearing a skirt, her shoes were wet by the lake water, and she stepped on a loose stone. She slipped accidentally and was about to fall. Lin Aoxue was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing Yun Yan's arm with one hand and wrapping her waist with the other.

Their faces were close together, their eyes protruding from under their respective masks, less than an inch apart, and the masks almost completely touched each other.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The people who came and went by the lake looked at this side intentionally or unintentionally. Fortunately, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan both wore masks. No one knew what their identities were. People's young couple, tryst by the lake.

Lin Aoxue embraced Yunyan's waist. Even though she was wearing a mask, she couldn't see anything from the outside, but her face behind the mask had already turned red like coals of fire. Live, don't even know how to pull her up.

Yun Yan was also startled, but when she was hugged by Lin Aoxue, she no longer felt afraid, but after a while, she did not see Lin Aoxue rescue her, she blinked her eyes, coughed innocently, and tried called:

"Aoxue..."

Lin Aoxue's hands trembled, and she almost let go of Yunyan's hand, Yunyan's heart trembled with fright, she subconsciously grabbed Lin Aoxue's arm, and it happened to hold the place where Lin Aoxue was injured a few days ago. Block it, Yunyan didn't see it.

Lin Aoxue finally breathed evenly, and with her arms gently folded, she lifted Yunyan's lithe and slender body up. After Yunyan stood firm, Lin Aoxue immediately let go of her hand and took a few steps back to open the distance between Yunyan and Yunyan.

Yun Yan straightened her breath and looked at Lin Aoxue's panicked appearance. Her originally nervous emotions suddenly relaxed a lot. Even she felt nervous. Lin Aoxue was probably too nervous.

She moved towards Lin Aoxue, stood in front of Lin Aoxue, and said with a smile:

"It's great to have you here, you're too reliable, Aoxue."

Being praised so frankly by Yunyan, Lin Aoxue felt that her head was about to explode, her heart seemed to be out of control, struggling to pop out of her chest. She gritted her teeth hard, as if the only way she could get a breather was by doing her best.

Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and gasped for two breaths before asking in a trembling voice:

"How are you, have you been hurt anywhere?"

Yunyan shook her head and chuckled:

"With you here, how could I be hurt?"

Lin Aoxue felt that she could no longer breathe.

For the first time, she felt that being trusted by others was so nervous!

She could only dumbly and use the simplest words to express her nervousness that even her efforts could not relieve her:

"It's fine if you're not hurt."

Yun Yan looked at her with a smile and felt her nervousness. She was really afraid that the person who would harm him unconsciously would do something unexpected when she got nervous, so she took the initiative to take her sleeves and went to the street, saying as she walked:

"The road by the lake is too slippery, let's go to the street."

When Lin Aoxue heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said goodbye, followed behind Yunyan and left Zhanyang Lake.

There were only a lot more people on the street than when they left. Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Aoxue proposed to send Yunyan back, but Yunyan did not refuse. It was a wonderful day, she was satisfied and very happy.

On the way back, Yunyan and Lin Aoxue were side by side, and Lin Aoxue was too nervous because she was always concerned about the brief and intimate contact between her and Yunyan when she was at the shore of Zhanyang Lake. She was at a loss.

Yunyan seemed to be much more free and easy than her, Lin Aoxue wondered if Yunyan really didn't care at all, she silently persuaded herself not to think too much, there was more or less physical contact between the sisters, it was not a big problem.

Lin Aoxue followed Yunyan silently and cautiously, seeing Yunyan walking in front of her with her hands behind her back. At some point, Yun Yan suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Aoxue again. Lin Aoxue's heart trembled and she stopped involuntarily.

Yunyan's steps also stopped, they stood on the street where people came and went and looked at each other.

The surrounding noise, the noise seemed to disappear in an instant, and could no longer flow into Lin Aoxue's ears. The air became silent, the street became deserted, and everything became slow as they stared at each other. down.

Yunyan stared at Lin Aoxue's eyes, and suddenly raised her hand to lift the mask on her face. Her delicate and beautiful face was exposed from under the mask, and the tenderness in those beautiful eyes was like the warmest warm sun, shining on Lin Aoxue. heart.

She was about to speak when a child suddenly ran behind Yunyan and bumped her back, like a stone that broke the calm lake surface, causing unstoppable ripples in an instant, and the surrounding scene began to roll again, and time continued. Moving forward, the noise, the noise, came again.

Yun Yan didn't have time to dodge, she screamed and rushed to Lin Aoxue, fell into her arms, and interrupted what she wanted to say.

Lin Aoxue was also stunned. There were so many coincidences today that she didn't know what to do.

She froze and hugged Yunyan in her arms. A panicked and shy expression flashed in her eyes. It fell into Yunyan's eyes, like a crisp bell, pulling her out of her trance and addicted mood.

"Smoke?"

Lin Aoxue called softly, Yunyan pursed her lips, took a deep look at her, and then slowly and pretended to be indifferent to get out of her arms.

She pretended to straighten her clothes and looked at Lin Aoxue involuntarily from the corner of her eyes, but seeing Lin Aoxue with a straight face, her fists clenched tightly, and showing extremely nervous emotions, she didn't show anything else. Take it easy again.

The corner of Yun Yan's eyes suddenly swept to Lin Aoxue's cuff, she was stunned for a moment, and then she exclaimed in a low voice in surprise:

"Why is there blood? Are you injured?"

When Lin Aoxue heard the words, it seemed as if a thunderstorm rang in her ears, causing her to subconsciously shrink her hand and put her left hand behind her back.

This obviously guilty action made Yun Yan's face heavy, when and why did Lin Aoxue get hurt?

Yunyan raised her head and looked at Lin Aoxue seriously. Seeing the latter's thin lips pursed tightly and her eyes lowered involuntarily, her heart softened.

"Show me."

Lin Aoxue saw that Yunyan didn't want to pursue any further investigation, she pursed her lips, stretched out her arms carefully, and secretly observed Yunyan's face, lest she would get angry.

Yunyan lifted Lin Aoxue's sleeves, revealing the rough gauze underneath. Some blood was soaked on the gauze, obviously the wound had cracked marks. Blood seeped out from the edge of the gauze and stained Lin Aoxue's sleeves.

Seeing this, Yun Yan frowned, and immediately wiped a handful of her waist. She wanted to take the silk and wipe the seeping blood for Lin Aoxue. The cracked wound can only be dealt with after returning.

But when she wiped her hand from her waist, the expression on her face suddenly changed. She immediately lowered her eyes to check what was on her waist, but the target object disappeared.

Lin Aoxue was startled by Yun Yan's panicked mood, and the nervousness in her heart dissipated. She frowned and asked eagerly:

"What's up?"

Hearing Lin Aoxue's voice, Yunyan shook her head solemnly and said:

"I lost the show bag on my waist."

Lin Aoxue frowned even more, and asked:

"What kind of show bag is it?"

Yunyan recalled:

"Light pink, with Hanmei Lingshuang embroidery."

They turned around in place for a few times, but they didn't see Yunyan's beautiful bag on the ground. In such a noisy street, even if it was lost, I'm afraid it would have been picked up by others.

Lin Aoxue recalled carefully, just now there was such a beautiful bag on Yunyan's waist, when did he lose it? She seemed to have seen the show bag when she set off lanterns with Yunyan by the lake before, and she must have lost it later.

Suddenly, a scene flashed in Lin Aoxue's mind, her brows furrowed, and she cursed angrily:

"It's that little thief just now!"

Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that she was pushed from behind by a child just now, and the place where the show bag was hanging on her waist was indeed bumped at that time. After recalling it, her face changed suddenly, a little anxious:

"How good is this!"

The little thief ran away and disappeared, and Yunyan didn't see his appearance. At this time, people were coming and going on the street, and he was nowhere to be found when he mixed in with the crowd. I'm afraid the show bag will never be found.

Lin Aoxue saw that Yunyan was in a hurry and asked:

"What's the important thing about the show bag?"

Yunyan's brows were furrowed, her face was worried, but when Lin Aoxue asked, she shook her head again and sighed:

"never mind."

That show bag was an important thing about her trip back to Beijing, so she couldn't talk to Lin Aoxue. After returning today, she will send someone to find the little thief, and try to find the thing back.

Yunyan took the initiative to give up, although Lin Aoxue felt it was inappropriate, but Yunyan insisted on going back first, so Lin Aoxue had to give up her plan to search and sent Yunyan back to her small house first.

On the way, Yun Yan was rarely distracted. Even Lin Aoxue talked to her several times, but she was distracted and couldn't hear it clearly. Lin Aoxue more and more determined that the show bag must be a very important thing, but Yunyan didn't want to worry her, so even if she was anxious, she refused to show it.

After Lin Aoxue told Yunyan to send it back, she looked at Yunyan closing the courtyard door, her face sank all of a sudden, that little thief was really bold.

She turned around, pointed her toes, exercised Qinggong, and quickly returned to the streets of Zhanyang Lake. She looked around and chased in the direction where the thief escaped. Whenever she passed through a dark and secluded alley, she would Stay for a while and double-check.

About to reach the end of the street, Lin Aoxue found a few beggars drinking together at the entrance of the alley. She walked over quickly. Those beggars were timid and wanted to hide when they saw anyone, but Lin Aoxue didn't say much and threw it away. A silver ingot is on the ground.

When did the three beggars ever see such a large piece of silver ingot, green light flashed in their eyes, they rushed towards the silver ingot like crazy, and fought hard to fight for it.

Lin Aoxue walked over and stepped on the silver ingot under his feet. Only then did the three beggars return to their senses. They were shocked by Lin Aoxue's indifferent eyes and the mask on their faces. They shivered abruptly. :

"This grandfather..."

Lin Aoxue glanced at the person who spoke:

"I asked you about someone, and if I can satisfy me, the money is yours."

The beggars are overjoyed, to say that finding people is really their specialty. Lin Aoxue had also been begging on the streets before. Although she had been bullied a lot, she knew the number of ways these beggars had.

"Master, you said, the little one must know everything!"

The three beggars were extremely dog-legged, for fear that Lin Aoxue would go back on it. Lin Aoxue naturally disdains playing tricks on these matters. She used her short memory of contacting the little thief to describe his approximate height and appearance, and also talked about the means by which he stole things.

After she finished speaking, the three beggars pondered for a while, and suddenly one of them slapped the thigh and said happily:

"You know who this grandfather is talking about!"

Lin Aoxue looked at him and asked in a cold voice:

"who is it?"

The beggar hurriedly walked to Lin Aoxue's feet and described it vividly:

"The little boy I just described, there is only a little Dongzi in Zhanyang Lake! This boy is clever and never misses a thing when he steals!"

When the other two beggars heard the words, they also suddenly realized that they quickly nodded in agreement, confirming that what the man said was correct. Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to be lying, Lin Aoxue took the silver to the beggar who had spoken before.

As soon as Lin Aoxue left, the other two beggars rushed towards him, and the three beggars scuffled again. Lin Aoxue ignored all this.

She quickly walked out of the alley, followed the places she had inquired before, and found a low house outside a temple by Zhanyang Lake. These low houses were in disrepair for a long time, and some poor people lived here.

This place is much better than the slums in the west. Lin Aoxue waited outside for a while, but saw a child with a small show bag in his hand, jumping up and down all the way.

Lin Aoxue's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly in his heart, isn't he the little thief who had hit Yunyan and stole the show bag earlier!

On the way home, Xiao Dongzi did not shy away from holding the show bag that he just got in his hand and playing with it. He never thought that he would be discovered. At that time, there were so many people watching lanterns on the street. It couldn't be easier to just touch something.

But when he approached the house, he suddenly felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by a vicious beast, which made him subconsciously feel scared.

He raised his head suddenly, and saw a man standing not far away, with a mask with red stripes on a black background.

"!!"

Xiao Dongzi broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately realized that this person was not the person beside the girl when he stole something today!

Not to mention being discovered, but also being found in the old nest! Frightened in his heart, he turned around without hesitation, and ran away.

In terms of escape, he is still very confident, and few people can catch up with him.

But he didn't run a few steps when the masked monster chased him, passed him like a gust of wind, and stopped five steps in front of him, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

Xiao Dongzi was so frightened that he jumped and turned around and tried to struggle, but after being stopped several times without any suspense, he finally stopped breathing and knelt down, crying and grabbing the ground. beg for mercy:

"Hey man, spare your life! Eighty old mothers are sick in bed, and three-year-old sons are waiting to be fed..."

Lin Aoxue interrupted him by kicking him on the forehead. Under the mask, his eyes were cold and fierce, like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time. When a person saw it, his heart shuddered.

Xiao Dongzi's deliberately amplified mourning came to an abrupt end, his eyes met Lin Aoxue inadvertently, his hair stood on end in fright, and he almost peed his pants.

"Hand over what you stole before."

Lin Aoxue's voice was indifferent, in Xiao Dongzi's ears, it was like an evil spirit that climbed up from **** to claim his life. He was so frightened that his legs trembled, his whole body trembled like chaff, and his teeth were rattling, but he didn't dare not to listen to Lin Aoxue's words. Although money was tempting, life was more important.

He rolled his throat, and then handed the bag to Lin Aoxue with trembling hands. Lin Aoxue took the bag and looked at it. It was indeed a light pink little bag with a few cold plums embroidered on it. It was undoubtedly the one that Yun Yan lost. .

Lin Aoxue weighed the pouch in her hand, feeling that there were only a few pieces of silver in the pouch, she had some doubts in her eyes,

If there was only some broken silver in the show bag, when Yun Yan was in such a hurry, she opened the show bag to confirm, but she didn't see anything next to it. She squinted at Xiao Dongzi, but seeing the latter bowing her head with a guilty conscience, she felt something was wrong, so she asked:

"What's inside?"

Xiao Dongzi trembled, of course he didn't know that Lin Aoxue was provoking him, he just thought that what he had done had already been exposed, I was afraid that he had caused a big disaster, and he was so frightened that he apologized with snot and tears:

"I pawned the golden key inside when I saw it was valuable!"

golden key? !

In Lin Aoxue's mind, the golden key that Sui Ming gave her suddenly appeared in her mind. She almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears, so she could not help but squeeze the show bag in her hand tightly. Raising his voice, he hurriedly rebuked:

"Which pawnshop?!"
