"That's... Junior Brother Qingyang's corpse?"

"I don't know," the blind old man replied softly, "No one knows."

Afterwards, the blind old man stayed in this abandoned temple. At that time, strangers were not allowed to enter here, and some well-meaning villagers would come here to give some food and clothing to the homeless.

He stayed here for a long time, but he never saw Qingyang and Mohe, and he only heard about those two from the villagers occasionally.

In people's mouth, they are a pair of admirable gods and couples, defying the world, falling in love with each other, living in the deep mountains and old forests forever, doing things to save lives and heal the wounded.

Although it has been a long time, the matter of the burning of corpses in the mountain forest always lingers in his mind. The blind old man is really puzzled, and always feels that something is a little strange.

It's just that he is old and weak, his legs and feet are injured, and he has no strength to walk, so he gave up the idea of ​​finding out.

Speaking of which, the blind old man was originally a well-known swordsman in the Jianghu. He was bold and happy in the Jianghu. In this apricot forest.Although he saved his life, his leg was completely useless.

There was also a well-meaning person who wanted to take him to the village of Xingmulin for Mohe to ask a doctor, but he knew that the poison was deep in his bones, and he was concerned about the previous things, so he declined that person's kindness.

The blind old man couldn't make a living and couldn't walk. Fortunately, someone gave food and gruel to him, so he survived.

"Afterwards, I stayed in this temple for more than three months, and I finally met that person."

"You mean Bai Zang?"

"Hmm." The blind old man was trying to remember something, "That person... is really strange."

Lian Meng was curious, and unconsciously leaned forward: "What's so strange?"

"Boy, you know what? You really look like someone I know."

"is it?"

"Even your curiosity about Bai Zang is quite similar to his."

Lian Meng was indeed quite curious about the man named Bai Zang.

Not only because of that story, but also because his illness is so similar to that of Qi Nian.He thought that there might be clues in this story that would allow him to find more clues to explain Qi Nian's weirdness.

"You mean the person from Qingyang?"

"Yeah." The blind old man suddenly laughed, "I heard other people's descriptions before, I thought that Qingyang was a silent and boring gourd, but I didn't expect him to be interesting and talkative."

"At that time, I wasn't the only one hiding in the temple. There were many homeless people who didn't want to tell about their life experiences. The villagers in the apricot forest would come here regularly to help. I also talked to him at that time."

"He is cheerful and loves to laugh. He is very curious about many things, but he does everything right to the end, and never pushes others." The blind old man seemed to be smiling again, and a very gentle expression appeared on his wrinkled face. "I used to think his words were annoying, but I didn't expect that after his death, I would miss him so much."

Qingyang has passed away for many years, so it is inevitable to talk about this topic with sadness.

"..." Lian Meng didn't speak, and suddenly turned around, only to find that the sky had already broken.

Thinking that he didn't return all night, Lian Qingren might be worried, so Lian Meng hurriedly got up and said goodbye to the blind old man.

"Senior, I have been out all night. I have to go back as soon as possible before dawn, and I will come back after nightfall!"

After all, he was about to leave, but at this moment the blind old man grabbed his hand: "What do you mean by that, it's been a night just now?"

"Yeah, it's been a night."

The blind old man grabbed Lian Meng's hand in surprise, and his grip became tighter and tighter. He seemed to be muttering something, but Lian Meng couldn't hear clearly. He guessed that the blind old man had gone crazy again.

"Senior, are you alright?"

The blind old man didn't seem to be able to hear what Lian Meng said at all. He kept on reading and talking, and even Meng called him several times, but he still didn't answer.

In the end, Lian Meng had no choice but to break free from the man's hand and leave first.

By the time he hurried through the woods and returned to the apricot forest, it was already daylight.

As soon as he entered the village, he saw a house surrounded by several layers of people.He saw his junior brother in the crowd, and stepped forward to drag him out.

"Brother, you are back."

"What happened?"

"It is said that thieves entered the village chief's house."

"What's missing?"

"I don't know about that, and I only followed after hearing a strange noise."

The two were talking, when Ling Yin and Qi Nian also walked over.Qi Nian's complexion improved a little, and when he saw Lian Meng, he frowned.

Ling Yin came over to ask what happened, and they both shook their heads.

After a while, the crowd finally dispersed, and Fang Muhua and his father came out of the room.The middle-aged man frowned, looking troubled.

When the villagers inquired, he only said that he had lost some belongings of his dead wife.

"It's not expensive jewelry, it's just the hairpin I gave her back then."

"Why would someone come to steal these things? Could it be that they are treasures?"

The man smiled wryly and shook his head. Fang Muhua comforted his father, but he didn't know what to say.

"If it's gone, it's gone. My wife has been dead for many years, and the hairpin is just a thought." Fang Zhongshou sighed.

The village had no intention of pursuing it, but the villagers started discussing it themselves.

"But the apricot forest is not easy to enter. Who came in and stole this thing?"

"That's right, and we all know that the village head is not a rich man, and the hairpin is not priceless, why steal it?"

"We know it, but the foreigners who came here don't know..."

With that said, the eyes of the villagers moved over.

Even Meng was speechless, these country people must have never heard of the name Qijia, otherwise how could they be suspicious.Qi Nian's family is well-off, and it is considered modest to be rich, so there is no need to steal that hairpin.And the few people who were with him would not do such a thing.

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Fang Zhongshou hurried out to help them out: "Everyone, don't make random guesses. The guests are here for medical treatment, so they shouldn't be used to steal my worthless jewelry. I think it might be the The wild beast sneaked into the house, and it wanted to look for food, but it took the thing away unintentionally."

"They were all resting in their room last night. I saw them when I came out at night, so I can testify." Fang Muhua added.

After hearing this, the villagers also felt impolite and hurriedly apologized to them.

Qi Nian responded politely, saying that doubts are normal, and he only hopes that the lost property can be found as soon as possible.

At this time, Qi Nian looked like a normal person, Lian Meng couldn't help thinking.

Finally, the villagers finally dispersed.

Ling Yin said that he would take Qi Nian to Dr. Mo for further consultation. Lian Meng wanted to follow him, but Lian Qingren stopped him.

"Brother..."

"What's wrong?" Lian Meng turned around and looked at him strangely.

"Brother Lian Meng, do you think this forest looks weird?"

"strange?"

"Yeah." Lian Qingren nodded, "I don't know exactly what, I just feel..."

"What do you feel?"

Lian Qingren hesitated for a long time before saying softly: "Actually, I did hear some strange human voices last night."

"Really?" Lian Meng raised his eyebrows, "So someone really came to steal that hairpin?"

"It should be like this, but I don't understand why a dead woman's hairpin is so special."

"Then can you see who is coming?"

"No." Lian Qingren shook his head, "When I came out, I didn't see anyone at all."

The two talked about it, but there was no result. Lian Qingren said that he wanted to go to the village entrance to check again, and Lian Meng nodded, saying that he would pay more attention.

So the two parted ways, and Lian Mengzheng wanted to go back to the room, but unexpectedly, he carefully called Fang Muhua on the way.

The boy frowned at him for a while, without saying a word, but carefully led him to a corner.

Lian Meng was surprised, and was about to ask him what was the matter, when Fang Muhua asked solemnly, "Why weren't you in the room last night?"

"Huh?" Lian Meng was startled, but smiled in the blink of an eye, "What? Do you suspect that I stole your mother's belongings?"

Fang Muhua shook his head without thinking, "I know it's not you."

Lian Meng laughed: "I didn't expect you to trust me so much?"

"Actually, besides the missing hairpin, my father also discovered other strange things."

"Oh? What's weird?" Lian Meng raised his eyebrows and asked.

Fang Muhua didn't speak.

He hesitated for a while, then looked up at Lian Meng, and said softly, "I don't know, have you heard of the Celestial Silkworm Sect?"
