you got on my tail

Heidan didn't return all night, and even though it rained suddenly, Bai Xuehe followed him to look for it all night.

When Liu Linghong quickly ran down the mountain, he realized that he was still holding the scorched bone. Except for the strange things he saw last night, nothing happened.

The valley is deep, and it is not a big deal to hide the bones of the victims, but this bone is exactly the palm of a person, and it is burnt yellow, and even the skin and flesh are attached to it, like a roasted sheep's head... The climate in the mountains is humid, if it is not a hanging stove for barbecue, how can it be baked like this.

Liu Linghong almost didn't spit out the overnight meal, he retched while walking, and when he stumbled to the guest room where Bai Xuehe was, he found that he was not there.

Liu Linghong waited anxiously for a long time, and went home to change his clothes. He also figured out many things in his mind. The emperor has been praising Liu Jiaming all the time, and this bone is from a human body. The strange incident must have something to do with Bai Xuehe.A man can bend and stretch, whether he is a man or a monster, let me apologize first.

The so-called open spears are easy to hide and hidden arrows are hard to defend, he must not leave the bones, first go from the dark to the bright, and then make other plans.

After Liu Linghong finished his plan, Bai Xuehe, who had been searching all night, just came back. He was wearing a gray-blue cloth, his loosely tied long hair was a little loose, and his face was pale.

"Bai Xue...Master Bai." Liu Linghong hurried forward, bowing his head.

"Mr. Liu?" Bai Xuehe was very tired. He thought about Heidan's many places to go, and suddenly remembered the holiday with Liu Linghong the day before yesterday, and said vigilantly, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

"Actually, I was wrong about what happened yesterday." Liu Linghong struggled for a while, then bit the bullet and said: "That maidservant was clumsy yesterday, I already told her to get out."

"Young Master Liu, don't worry." Although Bai Xuehe didn't know why he apologized, he really didn't care, "If you have nothing else..."

"It's something." Liu Linghong nodded, but he didn't call again. He carefully took out the severed hand from his cuff, "I found this in the back mountain."

"Let's see if it's a human corpse first." The officers and soldiers around were so frightened that they took half a step back, Bai Xuehe only glanced at it, and hurriedly said: "Let's leave it to you."

"Leave it to the master?" Liu Linghong endured it for a long time, and then couldn't control his anger, "Bai Xuehe, I can't even recognize a human hand or a chicken paw?"

He uttered insults again, but Bai Xuehe could bear it, but the soldiers who followed came up and pinned him down kneeling on the ground, Bai Xuehe looked at the man's hand, then at the struggling Liu Linghong, frowned and said softly: "What's going on? "

Liu Linghong didn't speak for a long time, but Bai Xuehe suddenly said calmly: "Mr. Liu, if it's murder, I can punish you."

Liu Linghong suddenly froze, as if he had never seen Bai Xuehe's eyes like this.

After a while, Liu Linghong spat on the ground, and simply told the story of falling into the pool last night in detail.

This incident was unimaginable, and the officers and soldiers nearby laughed at Liu Linghong for fear of losing his head. When Bai Xuehe heard the words "Emperor Canghua", his heart sank.

"Go up the mountain." Bai Xuehe said in a low voice, "You don't need to look for it, you all follow me up the mountain."

With a gloomy expression, Bai Xuehe ordered the soldiers to hand over the severed hand to Zuo, and walked quickly towards the back mountain.

Hearing Liu Linghong say "Canghua", Bai Xuehe felt that the little fat snake must have vented his anger on him.

Xiao Hei could turn into a snake, but Bai Xuehe felt that it was okay for him to scare Liu Linghong, but that hand didn't look like it was burned by fire, but it seemed to be formed by rapid dehydration in a furnace. with other monsters.

When seeing the white snow crane going up the mountain, the little black snake hid behind a tree, sticking out its tongue and observing secretly.

He knew that he had been running out for too long, and Bai Xuehe must be very worried, but before he turned into a snake, he buried his clothes under the mountain, and now he turned into a human and ran out with bare buttocks, which is too embarrassing.

The mountain road is already rugged, Bai Xuehe walked anxiously, he didn't pay attention to his feet for a while, and accidentally stepped on the gravel at the broken step, the gravel fell down sparsely, Bai Xuehe twisted his ankle, and the pain spread all over his body , the eyes suddenly became white, and the body followed.

In desperation, he stretched out his hand to look back in a panic, but a hand was quickly caught in his arms. Bai Xuehe got up quickly in embarrassment, and said in a deep voice: "Build the old general's mansion here, and you won't be afraid that there will be rocks in rainy days." Smash it down."

"Lord Bai, this is the will." Bai Xuehe thought that the person supporting him was just an ordinary soldier, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from Lan Ziqing, who was dressed in plain clothes, and said bluntly: "I heard that Master Bai mobilized officers and soldiers, I don't know What kind of official business, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial envoy also needs to file for the record. As the county magistrate of Enshi, why didn't I hear that there was something to..."

"Master Bai is on a mission, and you still need to report everything to Master Lan?" The soldier from the capital couldn't hold back, but suddenly took a step back, "...Snake!"

He backed out for a while, only to realize that the snake was not big, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, be careful, the snake..."

When he said this, Lan Ziqing subconsciously turned Bai Xuehe towards him, while the furious Lan Ziqing stood in front of him.

The little black snake raised its head, saw Bai Xuehe being hugged by others, and "hiss hiss" extremely angrily.

There is nothing to be afraid of such a small snake, why are you supporting him!

The soldier felt that he didn't have a civil servant rushing to protect the lord, so he suddenly became more embarrassed, and immediately prepared to bite the bullet and catch the snake, Bai Xuehe waved his hand and said: "Okay, this officer is here to find this snake, you go back."

It turned out that the soldiers who dispatched the whole city were looking for a snake.Lan Ziqing's complexion was even more ugly, obviously very dissatisfied with Bai Xuehe's official authority.

"Wait." Bai Xuehe called the soldier, "I sprained my ankle, you pick up this snake."

The soldier walked over with great reluctance, and carefully picked up the black egg, but the white snow crane, which looked very weak, grabbed it and put it into his sleeve without any fear.

"Master Lan is the local parent official. If you talk disrespectfully, go back to the imperial prison." Bai Xuehe held the snake in his mouth and glanced at Lan Ziqing again, "But Mr. Lan, I am an imperial envoy now. Mr. Liu discovered the murder case. The official looking for the snake is also to investigate the case, how can I report it to you?"

"Okay." Lan Ziqing's young and handsome face was a little uneasy, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll go check it out!"

Lord Lan shook his sleeves angrily, turned around and left decisively.

Bai Xuehe thought it was a little funny, but when Lan Ziqing left, he realized that there was no one around. He only took a few steps with that sprained foot, and then staggered and stopped leaning against a tree.

"Bai Xuehe..." Heidan got out of his sleeve and poked Bai Xuehe's arm with his head, "Don't be angry, okay?"

Bai Xuehe didn't speak, he really wanted to hit someone, obviously to vent his anger on himself, but it caused him to stay up all night and have his legs broken, he really didn't know where to start with such a small snake.

"I'm sorry." Heitan looked at him cautiously, with watery eyes, "I shouldn't have gone out to play at night."

"Are you going out to play?" Bai Xuehe stared at him, never thought that one day he would be angry with the snake, "Who knows what is on the mountain, you run out to scare others, and you are not afraid of being eaten by monsters!"

Only then did Heidan realize that Bai Xuehe knew the purpose of his running out, and hurriedly defended: "The monsters in the mountains are very good, give me something to eat."

Seeing Bai Xuehe ignoring him, Heidan seemed to have made up his mind and said as if death was his home: "Then you can spank my ass..."

Bai Xuehe: "..."

"Okay." Bai Xuehe was going to ignore him, but instead laughed angrily, reached out and patted him lightly, "Where is your butt?"

"In..." Heidan didn't want to understand, but seeing Bai Xuehe smiling again, he probably didn't really want to hit the snake. He kissed his neck.

"I just don't want to see him bully you, and I don't want to make you worry." Heidan said softly, "Don't worry, I won't run away secretly in the future!"

Bai Xuehe was stunned for a moment, an unnatural blush appeared on his snow-white face, and then he staggered, almost sitting on the ground.

After such a fall, Bai Xuehe realized that he couldn't fall clearly, so he simply sat down and took off his shoes and socks. His ankle was already swollen, as if it was twisted badly.

"Oh." Heidan leaned over and said treacherously: "There is no one here, so I can only help you down, you can't be angry with me. I'll go get dressed now!"

The little snake didn't wait for his answer, so it twisted and crawled into the bushes. The white snow crane was sitting in the mountain, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds washed by the rain.

"Bai Xuehe, what are you doing?" Liu Linghong ran out wearing only a pair of trousers under the bright sun when he was a child, and looked at the wet Bai Xuehe kneeling in the courtyard, "Why did you get punished again? You are not a fool, are you?"

"Master, I dropped the bucket." Little Bai Xuehe replied, and he didn't think he was wrong. "The bucket in the garden is too big. The gardener obviously couldn't move it by himself, so let me carry it alone."

"You can't even lift a bucket, are you a woman?" Liu Linghong smiled, and suddenly said: "Well, Bai Xuehe, if you bark like a dog a few times, I'll let you get up."

"I'm a human." Bai Xuehe was also anxious, and stood up uncontrollably with his legs, "How can I bark like a dog!"

……

The sun was still hot, and Bai Xuehe was beaten that day. Although he was often beaten, he had never been beaten for so long.

He huddled in the corner and looked at the sky, feeling that people still have to be high-ranking officials in order to command subordinates to live in this big courtyard with seven entrances and seven exits.

When a dog barked, the little Snow Crane was so frightened that it scrambled into the wall with scars all over its body.

"Are you even afraid of this?" Liu Linghong smirked and pulled out a big dog, "What a bitch!"

"Bai Xuehe..." Heitan carefully poked his head out from behind the tree. He put on the clothes he hid at the foot of the mountain yesterday, but it rained too much last night, and the clothes were covered with unsightly black mud. It's dirty, don't be angry..."

Bai Xuehe raised his head and looked at the filthy kid in front of him, his face and feet were covered with mud, only a pair of bright round eyes, turning around pitifully.

Bai Xuehe once thought that if he was being bullied, it would be great if someone could beat Liu Linghong up.He had counted on the tall and heroic King Yan, but he never expected that the one who avenged him would be a five or six-year-old fat monster.

Liu Linghong always thought of himself as a great hero and man, and when he thought of him being scared and fell into the pool, he felt very good, so even if he really wanted to pull the little fat snake over and spank him, he still shook his head in the end.

Heidan was so happy that he forgot that he was covered in mud, and threw himself into Snowy Crane's arms with a smile.
