thief, don't run

Outside the window, the moon was shining brightly, An Lingxue looked at it for a long time, then she simply got off the bed, put on a coat, and went outside the house.

The candles in the house were flickering, like the twinkling stars in the sky, and the moon seen from the window became smaller now, An Lingxue leaned against the door frame and let out a long sigh.

Zhong Liyun is now in the cell, so he shouldn't be able to see such a moon...

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sound of footsteps, and An Lingxue regained consciousness.

"...My lord, the night is darker and the dew is heavier, it's better to go back to the house and rest."

An Lingxue recognized him. He was a small yamen servant who patrolled the night of the county government. He was rarely seen on weekdays, but when the story between her and her began, he was the one who broke in and led them to meet again.Now, the face that was slightly mature from youthfulness is also as red as before.

No wonder he was hesitant to speak, An Lingxue glanced down, she was only wearing a thin tunic and a green shirt, the sleeves were a little damp.

Pulling up the outer shirt, there is not much warmth, at least the little yamen servant dares to face this side.An Lingxue said: "It's okay, you can go watch the night."

"This..." A big man twitched a bit, and said: "Then... my lord should at least wear more clothes, if you get wind and cold... it won't be good." After finishing speaking, the hand holding the lantern raised his sleeve to salute, and then retreated .

An Lingxue didn't move, seeing that the warm yellow light gradually moved away, it seemed to be much colder, she suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"

The little yamen servant hurriedly turned around and ran over, "What's the matter, my lord?"

"..." After waiting for a long time without any movement, the little yamen servant took another step forward, "My lord?"

An Lingxue seemed to come back to herself suddenly, then raised her head and smiled, "It's okay, you should pay attention when you watch the night, don't catch a cold."

Although the little yamen servant was puzzled, An Lingxue turned around after finishing speaking, and went to the house, he said hello, and continued to watch the night.

I don't know what happened to my lord tonight, if my lord is exhausted, who else in this county government can spend time with the robber Yun Zhongfei?

An Lingxue went back to the house and extinguished the candle, closed the window, went to bed in the darkness and fell asleep.

Ah Xue's complexion is not good, did she not sleep well last night?Zhong Liyun sat beside the cold wooden bed, looking at the people outside the cell.

"Aren't you going to say anything today?" The two jailers moved a bench and placed it in a designated place on weekdays. An Lingxue sat down and ordered them to retreat.

"Axue...can we...can we talk about anything else?"

An Lingxue turned her head and didn't look at her, "I said, I'm an official here, and you're a thief. Also—do you think I won't torture you?"

As far as the line of sight is concerned, there are various instruments of torture in the prison.Zhong Liyun remained silent, while An Lingxue withdrew his gaze and sneered.

"How arrogant are you! I just thought it was just because you took the lamp away, but no one is forcing you now, right?" An Lingxue couldn't stand Zhongliyun's indifference for the past few days, and shouted Said: "Rong Rong and Chu Yan are still at Yang's house, I want to return the lamp! I don't care about you, as long as I find that person, can't you say something you know? Why is there only silence!"

Zhong Liyun opened his mouth, and looked at her with lowered eyes.

"It's great, it's great!" An Lingxue laughed angrily, "What am I in your eyes? Hmm? You're happy to see me yelling at you like a madman here every day, aren't you? ? You didn't take me seriously at all, did you?"

"no!"

"Then what do you want from me!"

"Axue, the matter is over, let's not care about it, okay?" Zhong Liyun ran to the pillar of the cell, "I will send someone to pick them up for Rong Rong and Chu Yan. If you want me to be locked up for a few years, that's it. OK?"

"Thorn-"

With a piercing voice, An Lingxue kicked the bench under her and stood up, "You..."

The two jailers ran in in a panic when they heard the movement, and saw that the two were confronting each other through the cell door. There was no conflict, and they didn't know what to do.Since he caught up with the thief, the county lieutenant has spent almost every day with her. Except for the torture, he has tried all kinds of interrogations, but there is no progress. Hearing the noise today, he thought that the lord was finally going to be violent. Curious what happens next.

An Lingxue looked at her expressionlessly, she could see the begging in Zhong Liyun's eyes clearly, and she was also clear about An Lingxue's firmness, but she didn't understand, neither did Zhong Liyun, since that was the case, it would be useless to say more .

Taking out a key from her waist and holding it in her palm, An Lingxue laughed self-deprecatingly, "Forget it..."

The voice was very soft, but she knew she could hear it, An Lingxue raised her head and smiled at her, "Sure enough, I can never catch you, so forget it..."

Zhong Liyun wanted to speak, to refute, to ask, but everything was stuck in his throat, but there was no sound.

A sigh, perhaps because she and she had known this result a long time ago.

An Lingxue walked to the door of the cell, threw the key in, and then turned around quickly. "Goodbye, remember not to break the lock."

What's the point?I thought it would be very sad, but it turned out to be the easiest thing to give up.

At the exit, the jailer watched in disbelief that the county lieutenant let go of the prisoner openly, but seeing the expression on the county lieutenant's face when he walked past them, they each shut their mouths tightly and retreated silently.

Behind him, there was no sound at all whether he was asking, holding back, sighing, or laughing.

An Lingxue was lying on the bed at home, ready to catch up on sleep. It was really strange. If someone else was broken in love, there would probably be a violent storm, and they would cry a lot to pay homage to their lost feelings, or they should drink in the dark , Get up tomorrow and continue the next relationship.

But now?The sun is shining outside, she is not in the mood to drink, but she is lazy and just wants to sleep well.When he got up, he would think about how to recover the Yang family's lamp.But...after saving Chu Yan and Rong Rong, simply resigning from office seems to be a way out...

An Lingxue is still thinking about which side is better, but some people don't want her to stop.

"Axue! Found it!"

An Lingfeng searched around the county government office and couldn't find her. Hearing that she had returned home, he hurried back and pulled her up from the bed.

"What did you find?" An Lingxue didn't sleep at all, her head hurt badly, "What's important, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Having said that, An Lingxue knew that it was probably a very important thing that made her brother lose his composure, so she got out of bed wearing clothes, shoes and socks.

An Lingfeng only urged her to hurry up, An Lingxue didn't bother her too much, when she got there, her eyes widened and her hands and feet were cold.

"This..." An Lingxue looked at her brother in disbelief.

"It's mother." An Lingfeng looked solemn.

"How come..." An Lingxue looked at the woman lying quietly on the stone platform over there, and something flashed through her mind.

These days, An Lingxue was busy with the stalemate with Zhong Liyun, while the matter of the theft of her mother's tomb and corpse was left to An Lingfeng, and the progress was unclear.I don't want to, I found my mother today, it is a real mother, not a pile of bones, nor a shriveled corpse, how should I put it... a real... person.

The mother was lying on the stone platform over there, no different from ordinary people, she just seemed to be asleep.An Lingxue didn't dare to go forward, observed for a while, and found that her chest didn't rise and fall, it was still dead.

This is too strange. No matter how powerful the technology is, the person after death cannot be preserved so freshly. That is to say, she died not long ago.However, perhaps this person should be called her mother, and her face looks about the same age as her, or in other words, this is what everyone thought she looked like when she died more than ten years ago.

She died that year and used some kind of secret method to perfectly preserve her body to this day, or she didn't die back then, her face remained unchanged, but she died recently and was left here.An Lingxue could think of these two possibilities.

But no matter if it's real or fake, embalming after death or keeping it fresh during life, it can't be done by mother herself, right?So who put her here and for what purpose?

Anling's house is not far from here. After coming out of the backyard, passing through a bamboo forest, there is a hidden hole opened under a banyan tree. You can only enter here after passing through the tree hole and going deeper. Therefore, it can also be said that In that big banyan tree.

Such a place... "Brother, how did you find it?"

Their direction should be in the section outside the city, and they should expand their range to find them.

"Someone sent me a letter asking me to come here." An Lingfeng handed her a note.

Oops!An Lingxue glanced roughly, and the alarm bells rang in his mind.

This is obviously someone trying to lure them here!

"Don't worry, I got the note yesterday, checked it first, and brought you here after confirming it is correct." An Lingfeng's voice was calm.

No, no!An Lingxue stared at him, not daring to relax at all, her mind gradually cleared up.

This is near her home. There is an undecomposed corpse. It is her mother. A few months ago, someone robbed the tomb and hid the corpse. It should be an acquaintance of her mother. If you look at all the abnormal points together, you can get only one result!

Even, you can think about it in depth...

In the blink of an eye, An Lingxue came to this bold result, dragging her brother to run away.

"You are finally here." A familiar voice sounded from behind.

It also blocked their way back.

"father……"

The visitor was wearing a purple senior official robe, and the jade belt hook around his waist reflected the cold light.

"Why?" At this point, An Lingxue was not afraid anymore, and only held down the horizontal knife on her waist.

An Lingchen waved his hand, passed them directly, walked to the stone platform, took out one by one from the bundle, and placed them beside his mother.

There are five pieces in total, each of which An Lingxue has seen with his own eyes.The scroll of the picture of clouds and snow in the mountains, the obsidian used as the eyes of figurines, the black sword to ward off evil spirits, the pottery statue of Zhang Guo riding a donkey upside down, and the glazed lamp that rescued Rong Rong from falling into the water.Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements are all in Zhang Guo's collection, and each contains soul-inducing jade, which can bring the dead... back to life.

An Lingxue's feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense. Father wanted to resurrect mother, why didn't he tell them before, but instead called them here at this time?An Lingfeng didn't know the cause and effect of the past, and his mind was chaotic, while An Lingxue's palm was holding the handle of the knife, dripping with cold sweat.

"Don't be sour, you think everything is right, come and see your mother for the last time."

The author has something to say: the last part is really difficult and embarrassing, so let’s leave it at that.

The new text is released, inexplicably shameful

In the end, I chose this article to write first.

This is a story of a man and a demon, but the demon is not the point

This is a story about a shih tzu and a fish, and the shih tzu is not the point

The point is probably that this is a story about a fish chasing his wife desperately and finally leaving her behind

Not surprisingly, there is still one chapter to finish in this article, and then a new article will be opened in a week

Collect freely, the author is very Buddhist

Work hard in the next article, don't give up
