deceitful words and deeds

After greeting the higher-ups, Di Jie saw the painting kept in the research institute again.After knowing the identities of Ze Lan and Chu Yi and looking at this painting, the information conveyed by the picture has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the context suddenly becomes clear.

In the middle of the painting, there is a priestess with an obvious body curve, which is a Chuyi wearing a foreign costume.The huge bonfire is the sacred fire for burning the sacrificial animals, and the people around are the royal family and nobles of the ancient Yun Kingdom who participated in the ceremony.

Di Jie found the location Qin Xiaoshu pointed out. In the corner of the screen, a person who was slightly shorter than the people around him was holding that eye.

"This painting is not just one scene, but two." Di Chie thought about it, and said, "Many ancient scrolls and murals are like this, and scenes from different time periods are displayed on the same picture, and it should be the same here. .”

The scene in the center depicts the sacrificial scene, while the one in the corner depicts the scene where someone finds the eye and pays tribute to the royal family.

The person who took that eye was much shorter than the people around him, and his painting style was as simple and rough as the people around him. Di Chi didn't think the person who took that eye would be Chu Yi.

He asked his own doubts: "Although Chu Yi is holding that eye now, it shouldn't be Chu Yi's turn to pick up the items sent into the palace, right?"

"Unless the king is a dwarf, he won't be as short as others." Seeing the uncertainty in Di Xie's eyes, Qin Xiaoshu suggested the guess for him, "This person may be Zelan."

If the person who got the eyes was Zelan, then...it means that Zelan didn't tell them the whole truth, and she still has something to hide.

The vast majority of people will be like this, not necessarily out of some kind of selfishness, maybe just a subconscious instinct, choose to say only the part that is beneficial to themselves when describing.

The same thing looks different from different angles, and no matter how objective the description is, it may not be the real situation.Because from the very beginning, its perspective has been biased.

Not knowing the specific situation, Di Xie didn't want to maliciously speculate on others, and he hoped that Zelan was really innocent.

Even if it caused serious consequences unintentionally, it would be better than having one more villain in this world.

"Is it possible?" Di Chie looked at Qin Xiaoshu, "The person who presented that eye is the ancestor of Ye Xing."

Qin Xiaoshu looked back at him and said in a low voice: "You mean that the drop of blood flowing on their bodies may have been obtained by his ancestors when he was looking for Chongjiu?"

Di Xie hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the blood of Chongjiu on the ancestors of the Tong family."

According to the miscellaneous notes of the Zhang family, the ancestors of the Tong family went deep into the mountains, met an immortal, and got a drop of immortal blood, which not only gave them a long life, but also gained supernatural power.But this record is completely different from the scene of "cannibalism" that Si Que saw in the underworld.

What is recorded in Miscellaneous Notes is just hearsay. In contrast, Di Que is more inclined to believe what Si Que said is true.

Assuming that what Si Que saw was the scene back then, the way for the ancestors of the Tong family to obtain that drop of blood was to eat someone in a desperate situation.That is to say, someone else actually received Chongjiu's gift. Through bloodthirsty and meat eating, that drop of blood was transferred to the ancestors of the Tong family.

"That unknown person helped Chongjiu to survive. In exchange, Chongjiu gave him a drop of blood." Qin Xiaoshu seemed to be muttering, "He probably doesn't know what he saved."

Di Xie was noncommittal, and continued: "The ancestors of the Tong family who survived by eating others got that eye, took it back to the palace, and presented it to the king. With the collapse of the country and the death of the family, Ze Lan and Chu Yi went into exile. The eyes were brought to Xia City, where they were buried together because of Zelan's death."

Chong Jiuhui came here because he must have sensed the location of this eye, but he has not been able to find it. This may have something to do with Chu Yi's magic that can conceal the whereabouts of the breath.

Thinking about it carefully, if Chong Jiu was dealt with a little later, when he found Chu Yi with both eyes, the next person he would be looking for would be Yuan Junce.Yuan Junce is definitely not Chongjiu's opponent, and what follows is that the god who should have fallen long ago will come back to the world and bring disaster again.

Thinking of it this way, Di Chie felt lingering fear.

"Ze Lan couldn't die, there must be other reasons, it's just what she said, it shouldn't have caused the current situation." Di Jie took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the painting, "I'll go back and write a report later. You can pick it up later, you don’t have to wait for me for dinner.”

Qin Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, a little unacceptable: "I don't even eat dinner, it's important to have me at work...and also? Why don't you go home at all, and I'll put up a tent for you in the office, okay?"

There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were obviously unhappy. He had never said such a thing before, and he had no complaints about Di Xie's busyness.For some reason today, the emotions that seemed to have been accumulated for a few days suddenly poured out.

Di Xi somewhat knew why he was there, and it was true that he hadn't spent much time with them recently.

He blinked, and suddenly looked down.

Qin Xiaoshu's face changed slightly, and he coughed: "Where are you looking?"

"Tent." Di Chai didn't change his expression.

Qin Xiaoshu was dumbfounded: "Are you teasing me?"

Although he didn't know where this conclusion came from, but he was faintly happy, and Di Xie was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Qin Xiaoshu's smile didn't last for two seconds, and he returned to his expressionless face: "You just deal with me a few times casually, knowing that I'm going to do this, and I can't be fooled every time you do this."

It's kind of tough to deal with.Di Xie looked around. Although there was no one in the warehouse of the research institute, there was surveillance. He had no choice but to compromise: "I can pick it up with you later."

Unmoved, Qin Xiaoshu spit out two words without emotion: "It's okay."

Di Chie's scalp was numb, and he understood the subtext of those two words: You just know it.He gritted his teeth: "I'll go to your room at night. It's outside, it's almost ok."

Hearing this, Qin Xiaoshu sighed lightly: "I just want to spend more time with you, is this not okay?"

"I didn't ask you to stay." Di Xie was a little amused, turned and walked out.It's better to leave early after the matter is over, he always feels embarrassed in someone else's territory.

Back in the car, Qin Xiaoshu watched Di Que fasten his seat belt and insisted on holding his hand. Di Que said it was dangerous, but he didn't break free.

"You're a little strange, you've never been so..." Sticky?Di Xie always felt that he was clingy only if he could do it. Qin Xiaoshu always showed respect and understanding, but asked unnecessary things.

In the past few days, he has come to see Di Chi more frequently. It's fine to go to Gongzhufen in the middle of the night, and today he even came to the office to ask to stay.

Didn't cause any real trouble, Di Xie didn't mind, and the phrase "strange" was casually ridiculed.Looking at the passing trees outside the car window, he didn't notice that Qin Xiaoshu's smile on his side faded.

Di Zhi sorted out some current clues, wrote his own analysis and speculation into a report, and handed it to Zhang Sanzhang before he got off work.He especially told Dai Yuyu to pay attention to Zelan and not let her leave.

Dai Yuyu was a little puzzled, but she had always trusted Di Chie and listened to everything about work.

I just feel sorry for the family of a little girl in Zelan. She is obviously just a little girl. Isn't it embarrassing for her to bear the burden of a country?

Changing the dynasty is a common thing, and it is not Zelan who can control it. What's more, the subjugation of the country is a disaster caused by Chu Yi's use of witchcraft. In Dai Yuyu's view, Chu Yi's harsh criticism of Zelan is simply making things difficult and bullying.

She will take good care of Zelan even without Di Xie's instructions.

The lower grades of elementary school get out of school early, and as soon as they leave the school gate, they see Di Chi and Qin Xiaoshu standing in a conspicuous place, and immediately run out, throw themselves into Di Chi's arms, and laugh while hugging their thighs.

When the child got into the car, Qin Xiaoshu tactfully held the steering wheel with both hands and concentrated on driving.

"Master, you haven't come to pick me up for a long time." Ye Xing lay down between the two driver's seats, sticking out a small head.

Di Xie thought about it carefully: "It seems that these few days are the only time I don't have time to pick you up?"

You can also pretend to be old-fashioned: "It's all my fault that Master and Dad pick me up and drop me off every day. I'm used to it. I feel uncomfortable if you don't come every day! Dad, what is this called? There are cocoons... there are snakes, there are snakes..."

"It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." Qin Xiaoshu had a hard time listening to him.

"That's right!" Ye Xing nodded vigorously, with such strength that Di Xie was afraid that he would twist his neck.

Di Jie looked at Qin Xiaoshu: "You too?"

"Why don't you say that father and son are of the same heart?" Qin Xiaoshu responded smoothly.

Di Xie had nothing to say for a while, but he could laugh so hard that Qin Xiaoshu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Suddenly, the car was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Make dinner, eat dinner, and then Qin Xiaoshu can do homework if he stays around, and Di Cue does evening class, everything proceeds step by step.

After Di Jiedai finished washing, he saw him return to his room, and just as he looked towards Qin Xiaoshu, he was pulled into the room.

The cold lips came up, and Di Chi subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to say cold, but he couldn't say it due to various reasons.

Qin Xiaoshu let go of him briefly, and said in a coaxing tone: "It's okay, he's already a big boy, he can wash himself without you helping him by the side."

Di Xie stared at him, his pupils moved: "What about you?"

"I'm different from him. We wash together to help each other." Qin Xiaoshu kissed the corner of his mouth lightly.

Di Xie can now attribute his abnormality during the day to his neglect these days. After that night, their intimacy stopped at kissing.Obviously, they have confirmed each other's intentions, but they are not getting closer as expected, so they will inevitably be dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry. Those things have occupied all my thoughts recently. I can't hold that eye in my own hands. I really feel uneasy." Di Xie put his hands on Qin Xiaoshu's shoulders, raised his head and let his kiss fall on neck.

"There will always be a solution." Qin Xiaoshu said.

"That also requires someone to find a way." Di Jie puffed up his chest cooperatively, "I was thinking, if someone saved Chong Jiu, would Yuan Junce's eyes come from that person? Because he put his own Give Chong Jiu eyes, Chong Jiu will give him blood..."

Qin Xiaoshu pinched his waist, with threats in his eyes: "Are you sure you're still saying this at this time?"

Di Chi pursed his lips, lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, a smile melted on his face.Qin Xiaoshu hugged him tightly, there was really nothing he could do about this man.
