thief, don't run

Zhong Liyun frowned, took the channel and thanked her, then turned around and retreated, the village chief held her back again, twirled her white beard, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, besides this, there is one more thing to do. for you."

As the village chief said, he took out another piece of paper and handed it to her, squinting his eyes and smiling, "I know you're looking for that statue, and this is it, just look for it if you can."

Zhong Liyun turned his eyes sideways, looked at the paper and hesitated for a moment, took it anyway, raised his hand and saluted, and then backed away.

"If you can't find it, let her help you, that child looks quite smart." Zhong Liyun walked to the door, and when he heard this again, his body froze, he did not refute as usual, he pursed his lips, Lift your legs and walk away.

After returning to the quiet room, the village chief smelled the tea lightly.

She is not only smart, but also annoying.

Zhong Liyun opened the window in the house, and saw a certain house across the river, the lights were still on.

What are you doing?It won't really hurt, will it?No, no, no way, she is also a martial arts practitioner, so she won't be injured after walking a little...

Alas... Zhong Liyun knocked on the window lattice with his index finger, thought for a while, but still didn't close the window, walked back to the indoor table, and opened two pieces of paper.

One was the matter she asked the village chief to investigate. Zhong Liyun quickly read it and shook his head.Then she moved her eyes to another piece of paper, on which was drawn a map of Yunshuijian, which was clear, that is to say, what she was looking for was in Yunshuijian, it was unexpected that one day, she would come to steal her house s things.

The village chief gave her a map, indicating that he must know where the things were, but he didn't tell her directly, insisting on letting her find them by herself.

Turn over the back of the paper, and it says, "Golden Wood Water Fire Earth".

Zhong Liyun leaned back on the chair, threw the paper in his hand forward, saw it lightly falling on the table, and sighed.The village head just likes to play tricks and return the five elements. Why didn't he write "all those who are fighting in front of the army are in front of the battle", really.

This kind of thing, I don’t understand what it is at all, well, forget it, I’ll ask that old man tomorrow, she doesn’t want to use her brain at all.

"If you can't find it, let her help you."

This sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, Zhong Liyun tilted his head subconsciously, the lights of the opposite room were turned off, and it was melted into the night, and the shape of the room could not be seen.Although she knew from imagination, she should be lying on the bed and covered with a quilt.

I must be very tired after walking such a long mountain road today.

How is it possible to find her?

Forget it, go to sleep.

A river flows quietly, and on the opposite side of the two houses, the lights flicker and fall into darkness.

An Lingxue was indeed lying on the bed, but she was not asleep.He just looked at the dark roof and rolled everything he saw today in his mind.

It is recorded in "Peach Blossom Spring": The land is flat and open, and the houses are like houses, which belong to the mulberry and bamboo of Liangtian Meike.The traffic in the rice paddies, chickens and dogs meet each other.

These words are appropriate to describe the situation here, but there is irrationality everywhere, no matter how normal it looks, this place is not a paradise.

However, there shouldn't be any danger...

An Lingxue had previously felt that the village chief had arranged her here on purpose, or there might be some deep meaning to it. After entering the house, she naturally searched the place all over, but found nothing.

An Lingxue tilted her head and looked out, the window was half-closed, if someone broke in, she would be more or less prepared, and there was an extra way to survive.

In the dead of night, people's thinking will be more comprehensive.Now that I think about it, she is really bold. I don't know what kind of strength she has, but she came here alone.Although she is not as bold and careful as Zhong Liyun in dealing with things, she can be considered to act after she has made up her mind, and she just came here. If there is any danger, she will be really unreasonable and incompetent.

Why not be afraid, and not worried at all?They obviously don't know if Zhongliyun is here...

Zhongliyun... An Lingxue withdrew her hand from the back of her head and looked out of the window. Even the moonlight in the valley was stingy. It was pitch black but not scary. There was a small river outside the window. cheerful.An Lingxue stretched out her hand towards the window, and shook it in the air, what could she grab?

night?Water sound?still that person...

Zhongliyun, where are you?

Although she kept cheering herself up and set a deadline for herself, An Lingxue never really thought about what she would do if she really couldn't find Zhong Liyun.

Are they destined?

The night is deep, people are still sleepless, there is a lot of sorrow and separation, and two places love each other.Depth?Shallow?See you in the future.

"Boom boom boom" "Boom boom boom"

"Who is it?" As soon as he heard the first sound, Zhong Liyun turned over in reaction and sat up from the bed, feeling dizzy for a while due to blood congestion.Supporting his head on the bed to slow down, he finally woke up, but the knocking on the door has never stopped, and there is a tendency to intensify.

"and many more."

Zhong Liyun got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, stood up and looked out the window, it was just dawn, and the lights in the opposite room hadn't been lit yet, so he was probably still sleeping, it would be better to rest more.

It's best not to come out today.

"dong dong dong dong"

"Here we come." Zhong Liyun came back to his senses, "It's like a reminder..." He muttered, and opened the door to see which annoying person disturbed his dream early in the morning. As soon as he opened the door, he saw An afterimage.

After a short while, Zhong Liyun blinked and weighed her hands, only then did she realize that there were two small porcelain bottles and a sentence floating in the air.

"The one who hurt his foot, the village chief asked you to deliver some medicine, I have to leave beforehand!"

"..." The words were too fast, and Zhong Liyun was stunned for a while before he could react.

The only one who is so inconspicuous is Rong Rong, but how did she know that she is here?

Ah, it must be the old man, mind your own business!

Woke people up early in the morning and sent two bottles of medicine, and there was no one in sight. What else do you do besides eating, drinking and having fun?

In a hurry, hurry to see your lover!

"Alas..." Leaning on the door frame and sighing heavily, Zhong Liyun turned the porcelain bottle in his hand, losing strength for a while.

When the porcelain vases collided, there was a crisp sound. There were two porcelain vases, one for promoting blood circulation and the other for reducing swelling.Zhong Liyun looked at them lying in his palm, after a long time, he murmured: "Why don't you send them to her secretly..."

She was really hurt, and she couldn't go to see her. That matter hasn't been investigated yet, how could she just let herself go so easily?

I'm sorry... It's not that I don't want to be with you, I can't make things difficult for you.I am very happy that you can come to me, really, but if being with me will cause you to fall into infidelity, unrighteousness and filial piety, then I will never redeem you.

Zhong Liyun looked out the window and said, "Axue, I miss you very much."

With a kick, Zhong Liyun straightened up. He wanted to go back to sleep again, but turned around and went out the door, "Ah, speaking of which, today is that..."

"Go to work?" An Lingxue frowned.

"Yeah, since you are a guest, why don't you come and see the excitement?" The village head stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile.

An Lingxue forced a smile, "No, I'd better take a stroll here." Although she tacitly agreed that there was no danger here, An Lingxue instinctively didn't want to have anything to do with it, and she preferred to join in the fun. like someone.

A person is more helpful for thinking, and it was just a glimpse yesterday, and she wants to investigate this place today, how is it a place where thieves operate.

"This, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." The village chief's mouth was still smiling, but the words he said carried a sense of oppression, and there was a trace of unknown threat.

An Lingxue naturally felt it, "I understand, please ask the village chief to lead the way."

"Let's go." The village chief turned around and stepped forward.

An Lingxue glanced back before following.

Although the village chief is gray-haired, his spirit is hale and hearty, and his body is still healthy. Seen from the back, he is still a little stooped. No matter how you look at it, he is a kind old man.

However, An Lingxue didn't think that way anymore, the village chief must know her identity, county lieutenants and thieves are natural enemies, let alone the leader of the thieves?As for the village head's acceptance of her, whether it's because she thinks she's soft-spoken and not to be feared, or something else, this position will not change.

An Lingxue had a headache again. To be honest, because she didn't read much, the things that bothered her most were just catching thieves. She was really not good at things like trying to figure out people's hearts.

Go and see.

An Lingxue adjusted her expression, took two quick steps, followed the village chief, and asked, "Speaking of which, what exactly is Shanggong?"

The village chief came to knock on her door early this morning, saying that he was going to see "Shanggong", and followed in a daze, but he still didn't know what it was?

"How do you look like whom? Are you polite?" The village head suddenly pulled his face, An Lingxue was at a loss.

After reacting for a while, An Lingxue turned her head and asked tentatively: "Village chief?"

The village chief gave her a sideways look and said, "Give me a proper address before asking someone a question, do you know the honorific address?"

It turned out to be this... An Lingxue was helpless, it was just for a title... However, what the village chief said made sense.

"Junior remember it." An Lingxue looked up at him and smiled, "Grandpa, the village chief."

"..."

An Lingxue kept looking at him. Did the village chief just smile?Really, are the people here so interesting?

An Lingxue's house is in the east of the village, some distance from the center of the village. The house is built relatively high, on a small plateau. When going out, it goes downhill first, turns a corner, and passes a straight bridge made of wooden boards.You can see a slightly higher flat in the middle of the village, which is the center of the residential area.

Speaking of which, since the bad memory of the Naihe Bridge in the imperial mausoleum, An Lingxue still feels frightened when she sees the bridge, and she is even afraid of seeing the river. Fortunately, the small river here is not wide, and the bridge is not long, only a few steps away. It's just a road, otherwise, she would really have to beg the village chief to change the house without shame.

"Going to work is one of the customs in this village. Today, everyone does not work. They walk around the village and play some games. In the evening, there will be a bonfire meeting. Everyone eats, drinks and has fun together."

Walking to the platform in the village, the village chief spoke without haste. An Lingxue listened and understood that this was an answer to her previous question. She thought the village chief was angry and deliberately did not explain to her.

Now that the village chief opened his mouth, An Lingxue naturally continued, "It sounds like a lot of fun, so it doesn't matter if I, an outsider, join in?"

An Lingxue knew that in some remote villages, some old customs, sacrificial activities or celebrations were kept.But as far as she knows, some activities are very exclusive, how about here?

The village head paused, turned his head to look at her, with a half-smile, "Well, I am the village head and I have the final say."

"...Awesome." An Lingxue gave a positive praise.

The village head nodded in satisfaction and continued to lead her away, "However, generally speaking, there is no precedent for outsiders to participate."

An Lingxue's heart suddenly rose, what these words mean...

"However, there is no rule that outsiders are not allowed to participate."

Don't pant when you speak, An Lingxue resisted not rolling her eyes.

"Besides," the village head glanced at her, "maybe there may be unexpected adventures."

Um?An Lingxue was moved.

"Just kidding." The village chief said in a calm tone.

"..."

"Oh!" An Lingxue replied to him, hearing him laugh loudly, bared her teeth at him where he couldn't see.

Why are people here so unreliable?It felt as if he knew who led Zhong Liyun to ruin him.

When we arrived at the platform in the village, a lot of people had already gathered here, and the "work" started!
